00:00:00.000 America first!
00:00:02.000 America first!
00:00:06.000 The American people will come first once again!
00:00:36.000 America first!
00:02:32.000 Good evening everybody.
00:02:33.000 You're watching America First.
00:02:35.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:02:36.000 We have a great show for you tonight.
00:02:38.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.
00:02:41.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight.
00:02:43.000 Lots to get into.
00:02:44.000 Big show.
00:02:46.000 Important stuff.
00:02:48.000 Featured story tonight, kind of a black pill.
00:02:51.000 We're talking about the Proud Boys who you may have seen today were convicted by a jury of sedition against the United States government for their role in the January 6th epic day, Patriot Day.
00:03:05.000 And I'm playing it up a little bit in the title.
00:03:08.000 They didn't get a life sentence, but as a matter of fact, they didn't get sentenced at all yet.
00:03:13.000 But they will be facing a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail.
00:03:19.000 It's a really, really big deal.
00:03:21.000 And we'll talk about the charge specifically because it's actually a very specific thing.
00:03:28.000 Sedition means that they tried to overthrow the government, which they really didn't.
00:03:33.000 It's also the next most severe law that a person can break other than treason.
00:03:39.000 It goes treason, which is in the Constitution, and then sedition.
00:03:44.000 So this is a really big deal, and it requires a very high standard, which I don't know that the evidence that exists could pass it, but yet they were convicted.
00:03:54.000 So we'll talk about that tonight and the fate of those involved.
00:03:58.000 Very tragic.
00:03:59.000 Pray for them, for their families.
00:04:01.000 Hopefully they can overturn the conviction in an appeals court or something because this is just not right.
00:04:07.000 Talk about that.
00:04:09.000 We'll also be talking tonight about these regional bank failures.
00:04:11.000 Looks like we're setting up for maybe two additional banks to fail.
00:04:16.000 And just when we thought, if you remember, we were out of the woods from the failure of the Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic, which was just purchased by JP Morgan just a few days ago, there are now potentially two other regional banks which may suffer the same fate with a major drop in their stock price today.
00:04:38.000 And we'll talk about all that too, pretty scary stuff, but
00:04:42.000 Not really surprising.
00:04:44.000 We talked about it, I think it was back in March.
00:04:47.000 And it's just a classic credit crunch.
00:04:49.000 This is just what it's gonna be for like the next year, maybe more.
00:04:55.000 We don't have a real economy.
00:04:57.000 We'll get into all that, but that'll be our other story.
00:05:00.000 And it should be a pretty good show tonight.
00:05:01.000 I'm back again.
00:05:02.000 I'm actually surprised I made it.
00:05:05.000 Cause yesterday was kind of tricky, I'm not gonna lie, getting everything together for the show.
00:05:11.000 With my damaged and beat up body.
00:05:16.000 But, it was actually a lot easier today.
00:05:19.000 I'm getting the hang of it.
00:05:21.000 With my bionic legs that you can't see.
00:05:25.000 Robot legs, Neuralink installed.
00:05:27.000 So, you don't really see all that, but I'm still getting used to it.
00:05:30.000 Robot lower half, robot penis.
00:05:33.000 That's been tough.
00:05:35.000 Kidding of course, but hey, but I'm back.
00:05:37.000 I'm good.
00:05:38.000 Hey so far so good right knock on wood recovery's going well So we're here with another show before we get into it though I want to remind you to smash the follow button to get a push notification whenever I go live Also, follow me on gab telegram true social links you down below check me out on rumble I'm live on rumble every night as well and on rumble I have all the replays
00:06:04.000 So if you miss a show from a week, two weeks ago, you can find it on Rumble.
00:06:09.000 Just be aware.
00:06:12.000 And I think that's it.
00:06:16.000 Before we get into the news, other developments.
00:06:19.000 So I didn't wind up streaming with Leafy today.
00:06:22.000 I guess he got freaked out.
00:06:24.000 I don't know what happened there.
00:06:26.000 But, if you saw the collaboration with Sneeko and Leafy, they wanted to do it, and then by the end of it, Leafy was like, Who is this guy?
00:06:34.000 He's a Nazi!
00:06:35.000 He's gonna get me banned from all the banks!
00:06:37.000 So, something tells me they chickened out a little bit.
00:06:40.000 Or, not Sneeko, but Leafy.
00:06:42.000 It's okay.
00:06:44.000 But I did do a pretty good collaboration.
00:06:46.000 You might have missed it with Pearl and Isabel O'Reilly and Bryson and this Rolo Thomas-y guy from Twitter.
00:06:55.000 Have you ever heard of this?
00:06:57.000 He's like a Red Pill pickup artist type guy.
00:07:02.000 And I had no plans on going on the stream.
00:07:05.000 I was on there for like an hour.
00:07:06.000 It was kind of goofy.
00:07:08.000 But I woke up today and Pearl texted me this morning and she says, hey, I'm going to be interviewing this Rolo Thomas-y guy who I guess is well known in those circles.
00:07:21.000 She goes, you should call in.
00:07:23.000 And I was like, yeah, maybe I'll join in.
00:07:25.000 And I saw Bryson jump on.
00:07:27.000 Like I said, Isabella Riley.
00:07:30.000 I saw who else was on there.
00:07:34.000 I think it was just those two that I know, in addition to Pearl, of course.
00:07:38.000 And so I jump on the stream and it was it wasn't that great content to be honest it was a little bit tedious I feel like but it was kind of funny I had some good moments but here's the takeaway so if you missed the stream I think a lot of you guys did because there was maybe 1,600 people watching on YouTube and I didn't promote it anywhere I didn't advertise it and kind of a spur-of-the-moment deal
00:08:04.000 But I go on there and the subject matter is that this Red Pill guy he put out a tweet the other day and he said something like the fastest way to become a high-value man is to get a vasectomy and don't get married and don't have kids and all this kind of stuff and I guess it went viral like Ben Shapiro quote tweeted it and Lauren Chen replied and all these people jumped in on it and so he was on her show defending it
00:08:34.000 And like I said, he is one of these prototypical, like, red pill guys.
00:08:39.000 Like a stock red pill influencer.
00:08:42.000 And I've talked a lot about this on my show.
00:08:46.000 He goes on this interview to defend this post, and he says, well, I'm not saying people should get vasectomies, but look, if you want to, like, slay women, if you want to get, if you want to pull, well, then this is the best way to do it.
00:08:58.000 The easiest way is to make a bunch of money, and that means that you're still being promiscuous, you're still being adulterous and fornicating.
00:09:08.000 But, you're doing it without the possibility of having kids, without even the desire or the intention of getting married, just focusing on your job.
00:09:17.000 And he goes, that's not advice, that's just the way it is.
00:09:21.000 And it was interesting, Pearl was actually agreeing.
00:09:23.000 And Pearl said something in response.
00:09:26.000 She said, she goes, well I agree, she goes, because all these traditional conservatives
00:09:33.000 They want to moralize everything and it's just not the way it used to be because there are no traditional women and there are no traditional men and that's just the way it is, she goes, and red pillars don't, or rather traditional conservatives don't like when red pillars tell it like it is, if you like it or not.
00:09:53.000 And so I came on the stream and I didn't really even get to talk too much.
00:09:56.000 It was a lot of bickering between Bryson and the other guy.
00:10:00.000 But it was a very instructive stream and example because I've talked about this a lot on my show and it's like a little bit controversial even though some people in my community disagree with me on this but here's the point.
00:10:14.000 Many times on the show I've said that this self-help stuff is actually very pernicious and a lot of people go well really how?
00:10:25.000 You don't like that there are influencers telling young men to work out, get a job, make money, and that sort of thing?
00:10:32.000 How could anyone be against that?
00:10:35.000 It's all positive.
00:10:36.000 They're helping themselves.
00:10:37.000 They're taking responsibility.
00:10:40.000 And I say, well, I don't have a problem with people going to the gym and lifting.
00:10:43.000 I don't have a problem with people putting themselves first in the sense that they want to focus on developing their own skills.
00:10:53.000 And
00:10:54.000 Accumulating wealth before they consider having a family?
00:10:57.000 I don't think there's anything in itself that's wrong with those things.
00:11:02.000 But that's not what they're selling.
00:11:05.000 What they're selling is that that is its own way of life.
00:11:10.000 It's a self-sufficient way of life.
00:11:12.000 And to the extent that they entertain religion, they'll say something like, religion, it conforms to that idea.
00:11:20.000 I even heard Sneeko the other day, who he apparently converted to Islam.
00:11:25.000 And Leafy asked him, why did you convert to Islam?
00:11:28.000 And he said, well, because Islam tells you how to improve yourself.
00:11:32.000 Essentially.
00:11:34.000 Or, if they don't believe that religion is good because it's a useful tool to facilitate self-help, they say that religion is just one among many areas that you could improve.
00:11:47.000 Yeah, yeah, spiritual life, as well as your money and your physical fitness and those things.
00:11:54.000 And here's the problem with this.
00:11:57.000 And this is something I realized very early on.
00:11:59.000 This is what I realized when I was in college.
00:12:01.000 Because I was never very religious my whole life.
00:12:03.000 I always believed in God.
00:12:04.000 I always believed in Jesus.
00:12:06.000 But I was never religious.
00:12:08.000 I was never a practicing Catholic.
00:12:10.000 Not until college.
00:12:12.000 But I sat there in my college dorm, and I read the Bible for the first time.
00:12:17.000 And I was away from home for the first time.
00:12:20.000 And living on my own for the first time and I looked at my life and I thought about the fact that I'm gonna live to see my parents die, probably most of my friends.
00:12:29.000 I'll live to see sickness, my physical and mental well-being will degrade over time just through aging and attrition.
00:12:38.000 I said my parents could die right now while I'm away thousands of miles in Boston while they're in Chicago.
00:12:46.000 I look at my life, it's wake up, eat three times, go to school, go to bed.
00:12:50.000 Wake up, eat three times, go to school, go to bed.
00:12:53.000 And when I go to work, it'll be those things.
00:12:56.000 And I said, one, there's more to life than this.
00:13:01.000 There's more to life, in other words, than these material things.
00:13:05.000 I'm a material person because I'm
00:13:08.000 Made of atoms and I exist in a physical world and I have flesh and blood and if someone cuts my head off I cease to be in this world.
00:13:19.000 And to the extent that I'm physical I need physical things like a bed and like food and like relationships with other physical people and I need money to buy those things.
00:13:31.000 But what didn't sit right with me is I realized that I also have other appetites.
00:13:35.000 That even if all those needs were met
00:13:38.000 It wouldn't be enough because there would need to be a significance to those actions and there would need to be something more than just those things by themselves.
00:13:51.000 There had to be a means to the end of all of it.
00:13:54.000 And I read the Bible and I thought a lot about this and I realized that a religious viewpoint, a theistic viewpoint, which is to say you believe that there is a God that created everything and gave us a law that we have to adhere to and that we have a spiritual life after our physical life.
00:14:12.000 Not that we don't have a spiritual life here, but of course in the afterlife our soul will be separated from our body for a time.
00:14:22.000 And so, if you believe those things, then you have to reorient your entire perspective, because then that becomes the most important thing.
00:14:31.000 If we entertain this theory, or this conjecture, if you're not a believer yet, that there is a God,
00:14:39.000 Well then it follows that you would want to please God.
00:14:43.000 If God has rules, you have to follow them.
00:14:46.000 It matters a great deal.
00:14:48.000 If we have to answer to God for how well we follow those laws, if we have to give an account to God at the end of our short life here, for every action, and it's measured against His law, and it's measured against His standard, well that's...
00:15:04.000 It's not just something we'd like to do, and it's not just important, it's the most consequential thing.
00:15:12.000 It's more consequential than everything else.
00:15:16.000 If we're made in God's image in the sense that we have a spirit life in addition to a physical life, then the spiritual is more important because that's the godly part.
00:15:29.000 So when you listen to these self-help types, what is omitted is that a lot of them are atheists.
00:15:36.000 And if they're not atheists, they are religious insofar as they like the effects of religion.
00:15:44.000 Maybe some of them are true believers.
00:15:46.000 And certainly there are Christians that encourage self-help.
00:15:49.000 But there is a particular strain, this so-called red pill thing, very pernicious, which says
00:15:57.000 The world is fallen.
00:15:59.000 Give yourself to the world.
00:16:01.000 There aren't any virgins out there, so stop looking.
00:16:04.000 There's not any good in the world, because that's just how it used to be.
00:16:08.000 It's all relative anyway.
00:16:09.000 You just gotta make your money and take care of yourself.
00:16:12.000 And let's just be practical.
00:16:14.000 We all need to get off a little bit.
00:16:16.000 So, get a vasectomy, get a condom.
00:16:20.000 There's nothing wrong with those actions in itself.
00:16:22.000 It's just a matter of preference.
00:16:26.000 And so we're in this time where young people are looking for meaning.
00:16:31.000 They're looking to satisfy their appetites, not just their material, but their spiritual appetites.
00:16:36.000 And so many of them are being given something again, which is not wrong by itself.
00:16:42.000 Rather, it's not wrong in itself, but it's wrong that it's being served by itself and for its own sake.
00:16:50.000 Self-improvement for its own sake, for the sake of the self.
00:16:55.000 Rather than for the sake of anything else.
00:16:57.000 And also, independent from morality.
00:17:02.000 It doesn't even enter into the equation.
00:17:05.000 It's not like people are asking, how do I please God?
00:17:08.000 How do I do the right thing?
00:17:10.000 That vocabulary, that lexicon, just isn't even in the conversation.
00:17:15.000 It's not about what we ought to do for integrity's sake, or listening to our conscience.
00:17:22.000 But it's just about causes and effects.
00:17:26.000 Like chemistry.
00:17:26.000 Or like physics.
00:17:29.000 Do this, do that.
00:17:30.000 Because we're all just atoms.
00:17:31.000 We're just material.
00:17:33.000 We're just the physical.
00:17:34.000 And so the only way we can describe our lives, and what we ought to do, is to speak in terms of physical causes and effects.
00:17:43.000 Sociological causes and effects.
00:17:46.000 And in particular, and so this is something I've talked about a lot, but I think it was laid out very nicely because you had this guy on there and he was like your typical, when I say typical Red Pillar, I mean he was like this Gen X with the beanie and like a seething atheist, like one of these smug cynical atheist types talking about Gandhi and MLK.
00:18:10.000 So, we've all seen that before.
00:18:12.000 That's all very classic.
00:18:14.000 I don't think I need to go too much into that.
00:18:16.000 But in particular, the question with that stream was about what makes a high-value man.
00:18:21.000 That's like a big... They talk about the sexual marketplace and they talk about, we need the young men to become high-value men.
00:18:29.000 And they say, what is a high-value man?
00:18:33.000 That a woman's gonna want someone with a good LinkedIn page and they make money and they they have status they have a network they subscribe to the war room or whatever and so we're going back and forth on the stream about what what does what is value you know that's my question is who assigns value what do we value how do we assign that
00:18:55.000 And I thought about it more after the stream, and the only objective measure of value that a human being has, objectively, we say objective reality, we mean all of the dimensions, all of the realms, not just Earth, not just our life on Earth, but how it echoes in eternity, and what the angels see, and what God sees, not just what women like, you know, or women are going to swipe right on.
00:19:22.000 And the only objective measure of value is that at the judgment, God says that our actions will be melted down like precious metals, and the very noble, the very good actions will be like the most precious, most valuable metal, and in diminishing order, the lesser actions will be melted down and they'll be like silver, or like bronze, or like brass.
00:19:49.000 And then according to that, it'll be weighed up.
00:19:52.000 That, to me, is the only biblical, religious, real value that a person can have.
00:19:58.000 What else does the rest mean?
00:20:00.000 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
00:20:04.000 From ashes, from dust we were born, to dust and ashes we return.
00:20:08.000 That's all we are.
00:20:10.000 Is God picked up dirt and blew into it.
00:20:13.000 And we're going to return to dirt at the end.
00:20:15.000 And all that's going to be left of our time on Earth, our entire life, everything you ever did, is going to be at the Second Judgment when you're melted down like metal, and they evaluate how precious, how noble the integrity of your actions.
00:20:33.000 That's it!
00:20:35.000 And therefore, that is the imperative.
00:20:38.000 Not, that's something nice, not good for you, anyway.
00:20:42.000 No, that's the only thing.
00:20:44.000 That's the only imperative.
00:20:45.000 That's the highest imperative.
00:20:47.000 Everything has to be subordinated and serve that.
00:20:52.000 Get a job, get a girlfriend or a wife for that matter, even have kids, family, friends, whatever, all subordinated to those actions and those decisions.
00:21:05.000 That's all we have.
00:21:09.000 The rest, you're not going to take the riches with you.
00:21:14.000 You're not even really going to take your family with you, because you stand before God alone.
00:21:19.000 So, when the Earth is long gone, whether it meets a scientific end or a religious end, if you think the Earth is going to be consumed by the Sun, or you think that God will wrap it all up one day, only thing that will echo when the real legacy of a human, of a created being, is going to be their actions as judged by God.
00:21:41.000 That's it, according to a moral scale, and no other scale.
00:21:44.000 And that's the only language I'm interested in, is a moral language.
00:21:50.000 So, anyway, so those are just some thoughts.
00:21:52.000 I didn't really get to say that on the stream.
00:21:54.000 I mean it just devolved into like a lot of bickering, but I thought about it a lot today and just in particular this phrase, high value man, and that really sums it up, doesn't it?
00:22:05.000 What does make a person high value and according to whom?
00:22:09.000 And even these new philosophies, these so-called right-wing philosophies, were, by the way, we share a lot in common with them in some respects,
00:22:18.000 But on a fundamental level, we are separated by a gulf, by a chasm, because we believe in God, and they don't.
00:22:28.000 We believe in God, we know there's a God, we know God is alive, and they don't.
00:22:34.000 And so everything that follows from that, therefore, will be different.
00:22:39.000 Now, they may get shades of that,
00:22:42.000 All traditions have in them some inherent wisdom because God writes his law on the soul of every person.
00:22:50.000 And so you'll see the same things play out in other religions or in other traditions.
00:22:58.000 But there's one group of people that's right.
00:23:00.000 And that's a group of people that follows the resurrected Jesus.
00:23:03.000 That's it.
00:23:05.000 So...
00:23:07.000 So that, that's why I don't, I don't even like, I mean, and don't get me wrong, I like these guys, they're interesting to me.
00:23:12.000 Like, I like Pearl, and I like Sneeko, of course, like, Sneeko's a great friend, Pearl's a great friend of mine, I love them, and, uh, and I even admire a lot of these types.
00:23:21.000 Like, Andrew Tate, I actually like him a lot.
00:23:24.000 I like him more than Tucker, in some ways, for that matter.
00:23:29.000 But, it's Jesus versus everybody.
00:23:32.000 It's, we are on the side of Jesus, and if you're, I mean, if you're just not on that side,
00:23:39.000 I'm not really speaking the same language.
00:23:41.000 That's it.
00:23:42.000 You know?
00:23:44.000 So, anyway.
00:23:44.000 So that, just some thoughts I had about that, because the news tonight, not all that interesting, so.
00:23:49.000 Anyway.
00:23:50.000 But I'll see, I don't know if there's a recording of it, because she took it down right away, because I did talk about Hitler a couple times.
00:23:57.000 Not my fault!
00:23:58.000 Everyone else brought it up.
00:23:59.000 Pearl got mad at me, because I go on the stream, and the guy's like, why don't you just cut to the part where you blame Jews for everything?
00:24:05.000 And I'm like, well, we could do that, but we're not.
00:24:09.000 And then the other one is like, well, was Hitler a high value man?
00:24:12.000 And I'm like, yes!
00:24:13.000 You know, I'm like, I'm sitting there gritting my teeth.
00:24:19.000 He's the highest value man in the last century.
00:24:19.000 Yes, he was.
00:24:22.000 Kidding.
00:24:23.000 That's a joke, of course.
00:24:26.000 But anyway, so she deleted that stream and she texts me and she's like, really Nick?
00:24:33.000 And I'm like, they baited me!
00:24:35.000 How are you gonna bring me on and they talk about this?
00:24:38.000 And I was good.
00:24:39.000 I mean, I didn't say anything too bad.
00:24:42.000 But she's like, really Nick?
00:24:43.000 And then she deleted the stream right away.
00:24:44.000 So I hope there's, I hope somebody got a recording of it.
00:24:48.000 Because I'd like to repost it on my Telegram.
00:24:52.000 But I don't know if anyone captured it.
00:24:54.000 Utah, Dale, I mean did any of these guys capture it?
00:24:57.000 I'd be interested to see it.
00:25:00.000 Anyway.
00:25:02.000 I just can't help myself, you know?
00:25:03.000 I mean look, I tell the truth!
00:25:06.000 This guy's selling his books.
00:25:07.000 He's like, you know, so in my book, The Rational Male Religion... Oh, give me a break.
00:25:14.000 Seriously?
00:25:17.000 Anyway, so we're gonna dive into the news here.
00:25:19.000 Our first story is about this bank run.
00:25:23.000 We first covered this story, I believe it was March, with the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank.
00:25:33.000 And actually there was a little update on this a couple weeks ago.
00:25:35.000 First Republic Bank, or is it First or New Republic?
00:25:40.000 First.
00:25:41.000 First Republic Bank just got sold and seized on Monday so it just got resolved like a few days ago.
00:25:49.000 And now on the news of that, I think there was some spokesperson for the Treasury or from the White House, they come out and they say, hey, no problem, we just resolved it all.
00:25:59.000 And literally today, the next day, now there's two other banks that may be facing the same fate as both Silicon Valley and First Republic.
00:26:09.000 Two regional banks.
00:26:11.000 This is a story here from the New York Times.
00:26:14.000 It says, quote, a cluster of regional banks scrambled on Thursday to convince the public of their financial soundness, even as their stock price plunged and investors took bets on which might be the next to fall.
00:26:26.000 The tumult brought questions about the future of the lenders to the fore, suggesting a new phase in the crisis that began two months ago with the collapse of Silicon Valley and Signature Bank, and was then punctuated on Monday by the seizure and sale of First Republic Bank.
00:26:42.000 PacWest and Western Alliance were in the eye of the storm despite the company's protestations that their finances were solid.
00:26:49.000 PacWest's share lost 50% of their value on Thursday and Western Alliance fell 38%.
00:26:57.000 Other mid-sized banks, including Zions and Comerica, also posted double-digit percentage declines.
00:27:04.000 Unlike the banks that failed after depositors rushed to pull their money out, the lenders now under pressure have reported stable deposit bases and don't sit on mounds of soured loans.
00:27:15.000 And I'll explain this in a minute.
00:27:17.000 They're also much smaller than Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic, which each had about $200 billion in assets when they collapsed.
00:27:25.000 PacWest, based in Los Angeles, has about $40 billion and Western Alliance, headquartered in Phoenix, has $65 billion and both run fewer than 100 branches.
00:27:36.000 The most immediate threat the banks face, say analysts, is a crisis of confidence.
00:27:41.000 Headlines about their spiraling share prices could spook depositors and upend the bank's ability to operate normally.
00:27:49.000 Shares of PacWest and Western Alliance were halted for trading dozens of times on Thursday as their huge price swings breached stock exchange guardrails put in place to prevent a sell-off from spiraling out of control.
00:28:01.000 The turmoil also raised the specter of concerted action by short sellers, the lenders who bet, or rather the traders.
00:28:09.000 Who bet on share prices falling and are sometimes blamed for stock market volatility.
00:28:14.000 Even before the week's commotion, depositors were increasingly worried about the safety of their money following the collapse of SVB.
00:28:22.000 According to a new poll through late April, 48% of American adults said they were concerned about the money they held in deposits at banks.
00:28:32.000 So just to break this down a little because it's a very complicated subject.
00:28:35.000 Not a lot of people fully understand this.
00:28:38.000 Brief refresher because I think we did a whole show about it back in March.
00:28:42.000 But the way you have to think about a bank is that a bank has a balance sheet.
00:28:50.000 And as you know, as a consumer with probably a personal checking account, although some of you may have business checking accounts, people deposit their money in the bank and the bank holds it for them.
00:29:02.000 And although they're giving cash to the bank, this is counterintuitive, but this is how you have to understand this.
00:29:11.000 Those cash deposits are technically a liability on the bank's balance sheet.
00:29:18.000 So a bank has assets and liabilities.
00:29:22.000 It's got obligations, and then it's got loans where people are obligated to pay them cash flow.
00:29:30.000 So if I go to the bank and I put $10 in the bank, the bank in theory owes me $10 plus interest.
00:29:40.000 So what a bank does is they go out and they use the cash that I've deposited or some of it.
00:29:45.000 Some of it they keep on hand and some of it they go and loan out and depending on a lot of math they'll choose
00:29:55.000 Certain types of loans with more or less risk and more or less guaranteed profit and they have sophisticated people that calculate how this all works.
00:30:05.000 But the goal of the bank is to take the money that you deposit or that a business deposits and they need to make a higher rate of return on that money than they owe to the depositors.
00:30:17.000 That's in very simple terms.
00:30:20.000 What's going on?
00:30:35.000 And in order to deliver all their money to their depositors, again they're technically liabilities, in order for them to pay out all this money they had to sell a lot of the loans that they had for a major loss.
00:30:48.000 And so there was like a two billion dollar shortfall.
00:30:51.000 And it's very complicated without relitigating that whole operation.
00:30:55.000 That was in effect the issue.
00:30:58.000 Is that the bank wasn't insolvent but being forced to sell their assets and their loans for a loss it made them insolvent for a time.
00:31:10.000 And that insolvency scared investors and investors sold stock in that bank and more depositors pulled out and it just made them more insolvent.
00:31:19.000 But there were specific things that were wrong in Silicon Valley which were that deposits were going out at a higher rate than they were before
00:31:29.000 They call that outflows.
00:31:31.000 So outflows were higher.
00:31:32.000 They had more money that they had to pay relatively their depositors than they had previously.
00:31:39.000 And at the same time, their balance sheet was full of loans that would not be profitable unless they were held to maturity.
00:31:46.000 Which in that case, the maturity was 10 years.
00:31:50.000 So they had to hold the loans that offset those deposits for 10 years for them to actually be profitable.
00:31:56.000 And so it was the combination of those two things that made Silicon Valley Bank fail.
00:32:01.000 That deposit outflows increased,
00:32:04.000 And they sat on not loans that were bad but loans that needed to be held that they were forced to sell for a loss and so although on paper they weren't insolvent that panic and that unexpected increase in outflows made them insolvent for a moment and they created a bank run.
00:32:25.000 So the difference between Silicon Valley and these banks is none of these banks have either of those things going on.
00:32:32.000 This PacWest
00:32:34.000 And Western Alliance, Zions, Comerica, these four banks, they're all much smaller in terms of branches, in terms of deposits.
00:32:44.000 None of them have the same problem of significantly increased outflows.
00:32:51.000 Actually, one of them had more outflows in the month before than they had in March.
00:32:55.000 More in April than they had in March.
00:32:57.000 And none of them have this balance sheet that is loaded up with what Silicon Valley Bank had.
00:33:04.000 Which was a lot of loans that they needed to hold to maturity.
00:33:06.000 A lot of bad loans, really.
00:33:09.000 And yet, these banks are failing.
00:33:12.000 And ultimately, the problem with this entire situation is that all the credit is drying up.
00:33:18.000 Even though these banks are not weak.
00:33:20.000 In other words, there's no reason for them to be failing.
00:33:24.000 There's really no reason for depositors to be spooked.
00:33:26.000 There's no reason for traders to be spooked.
00:33:30.000 These are good banks and they're, according to their numbers, they're confident about their financials.
00:33:37.000 But the overall problem in the economy, which we talked about even back in March, is not the specifics at Silicon Valley.
00:33:44.000 It's not the balance sheet.
00:33:46.000 It's not the deposits.
00:33:47.000 The problem is that overall, because the interest rates keep going up, credit is becoming a lot less accessible.
00:33:55.000 And if you understand anything about the American economy, in particular the American economy since roughly 2006, this economy relies entirely on cheap, abundant credit.
00:34:07.000 Meaning that it is free, it is virtually free, and extremely easy to get loans, to get debt.
00:34:14.000 The entire economy is propped up on this.
00:34:18.000 And now that they're raising interest rates to the highest level since 2001, which they just did another rate increase this week, now all that money is drying up.
00:34:27.000 And what's happening is that all of these businesses, which have employees and have their money in banks, they're defaulting on their loans.
00:34:36.000 The economy's slowing down.
00:34:38.000 Money is becoming a lot more difficult and expensive to borrow and so they're having to fire people.
00:34:43.000 They're having to pull their money out of banks.
00:34:45.000 They're having to close offices.
00:34:47.000 Commercial real estate is exploding because of the pandemic.
00:34:51.000 And so these are the problems that you see with what is essentially deflation.
00:34:57.000 It's a credit crunch.
00:34:58.000 And we talked about it back in March that there's really two ways that we can go about it here.
00:35:03.000 Either the Federal Reserve can slash interest rates and they can keep printing money and they can make credit cheap again.
00:35:10.000 And if they do that, then all these Silicon Valley businesses, which are not profitable and not good businesses, they could resume borrowing infinite money.
00:35:20.000 And putting money back in the bank and employing people and paying landlords but you'll have very high inflation.
00:35:29.000 Because the value of the dollar will go down, so prices will go up.
00:35:34.000 So that's one way, is the Federal Reserve can abandon their monetary tightening policy, they can cut interest rates, make credit free again, and then with money flowing, you're going to have high inflation, cost of living is going to go up, price of goods is going to go up, but you're not going to have as many of these issues.
00:35:54.000 If they keep raising interest rates, or if they don't cut them this year,
00:35:58.000 Which some are expecting they're going to do a cut before the end of the year.
00:36:01.000 Some say they're not.
00:36:04.000 If they keep interest rates high, then inflation will eventually be brought under control over a long period of time.
00:36:12.000 But you are going to see these systemic issues.
00:36:15.000 It happens every time.
00:36:16.000 Very similar to the 1980s.
00:36:19.000 Paul Volcker was brought in as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
00:36:22.000 And it was the same story.
00:36:24.000 In the 1970s you had stagflation which is a combination of very slow economic growth and very high inflation.
00:36:32.000 Paul Volcker comes in and under Reagan institutes monetary tightening.
00:36:39.000 They raise the interest rate and it causes a recession.
00:36:42.000 I mean it was that alone that caused a major recession and the collapse of the savings and loan industry and a lot of people got screwed because when there's a credit crunch it's like a game of musical chairs.
00:36:53.000 Somebody, because of fractional reserve banking, because all of the balance sheet of a bank is theoretical, they have only so much cash in the bank, and the rest of it they invent money by loaning out money they don't really have.
00:37:08.000 If you don't have economic growth, and if a lot of these businesses start failing and they can't pay back the loans, a lot of this money is going to disappear.
00:37:15.000 Like, straight up, the theoretical money that is created with the creation of credit is going to disappear.
00:37:21.000 And so, like in the case of Silicon Valley, some people are going to be screwed, and they're going to lose their money.
00:37:28.000 And the federal government's job is to make sure that the right people lose their money.
00:37:33.000 Not people that are gonna freak out.
00:37:34.000 They gotta make sure that they can maintain confidence and people don't get scared that they'll lose theirs.
00:37:39.000 That's why they're trying to change the rules.
00:37:41.000 But the alternative to keeping the inflation going forever is what they did in the 80s.
00:37:46.000 It's this economic tightening.
00:37:48.000 It's a credit crunch, which is that they're gonna basically eliminate a lot of the credit and eliminate a lot of the money, which is gonna make the value of money go up,
00:37:58.000 But by the same token, in order for that to happen, some people are going to lose.
00:38:02.000 Like, institutions will begin to fail.
00:38:04.000 And the thing is, we don't really know where that's going to be until it happens.
00:38:08.000 Because the economy is so complex, it is so vast, and so big, and there are so many causes and effects, that until you introduce this monetary tightening, it is very difficult to see where the weaknesses in the institutions are.
00:38:25.000 It's very difficult to see where exactly
00:38:29.000 The stress is gonna show up on the system and what we're seeing now is it's in these regional banks and we're seeing it's in Silicon Valley and it's in commercial real estate.
00:38:39.000 So it's gonna get ugly for some people and it's hard actually to say what is the better path forward because neither are actually good options.
00:38:49.000 Here's the key difference.
00:38:51.000 Back in the 1980s we had a manufacturing base.
00:38:56.000 And this goes back to what we talked about the Ukraine-Russia conflict, which is that the composition of our economy is fundamentally different than it was a hundred years ago.
00:39:07.000 The American economy doesn't make anything.
00:39:10.000 It doesn't make anything.
00:39:12.000 85% of the American economy is engaged in essentially non-productive activities.
00:39:20.000 Only 15% of American GDP comes from agriculture, industry, and construction.
00:39:29.000 Which you could say that's producing, that's making.
00:39:32.000 Agriculture is making food, fertilizer, it's forestry, it's fishing.
00:39:36.000 Construction is lumber and raw materials and building buildings and houses.
00:39:41.000 And industry is actually making products, actually making things.
00:39:46.000 The other 85% is services.
00:39:49.000 So if somebody goes into a hospital and spends $100,000 on a surgery, which is totally inflated,
00:39:56.000 That's counted.
00:39:57.000 And when somebody pays for insurance, and when somebody pays for whatever other service you can imagine, it's counted in that.
00:40:06.000 And so when you consider that 85% of our 20 plus trillion dollar GDP is not actually making things, then you realize that there is no value that underpins the money or the economy at large.
00:40:23.000 In the 1980s, it made more sense to do monetary tightening because we actually had a productive economy underneath all of the monetary troubles.
00:40:35.000 We don't have that anymore.
00:40:37.000 Ultimately, the way that you have to regard the economy is that it's not about money or numbers.
00:40:43.000 It's about stuff.
00:40:45.000 It's about labor.
00:40:46.000 It's about raw materials.
00:40:48.000 It's about capital.
00:40:50.000 It's about your factors of production.
00:40:53.000 And so ultimately if you have a very productive economy you will have these problems that are introduced by securitization and financialization and you'll have monetary problems but those can be corrected because you have people going to work and making things.
00:41:12.000 So you can sort out the accounting as long as people are waking up and they're going out and they're building houses and they're growing food and they're making the things that people need on a daily basis cars fuel
00:41:23.000 They're repairing the bridges and the roads.
00:41:25.000 Then you're in good shape.
00:41:28.000 But if people aren't making anything, if people aren't working, if the economy doesn't produce anything, then when your balance sheets are messed up, then you're really in trouble.
00:41:41.000 Our main export is debt.
00:41:42.000 We get $500 billion worth of goods from China more than we give them.
00:41:49.000 And what do we give them in return?
00:41:51.000 Debt.
00:41:52.000 So when we're not able to give China debt anymore, when we're not able to give India and Indonesia and Vietnam debt anymore in exchange for the things they send us, what will we have to give them?
00:42:06.000 And if we don't have debt money to give to people, because half of the country is being subsidized by the government in some form,
00:42:15.000 Federal workforce, subsidized housing, food, unemployment, welfare, disability, retirees.
00:42:23.000 If we don't have debt to give to our own people, what are they gonna do?
00:42:27.000 What are they gonna trade for stuff?
00:42:30.000 Now you have a big problem.
00:42:33.000 So this... So this is a lot different.
00:42:37.000 Even though it's similar, even though it's the same, it's inflation,
00:42:42.000 And it's stagnant economy with strict monetary policy.
00:42:47.000 The fabric of the American economy is totally different.
00:42:52.000 And we're going to run into some big problems here.
00:42:55.000 You don't have to look very far to see that the math doesn't add up.
00:42:59.000 Even this week it's being debated in Congress about the debt ceiling.
00:43:02.000 They say that if we don't reach an agreement in Congress on the debt ceiling in June, the United States will default on our debt and therefore the debt that we issue will become worth less.
00:43:14.000 It'll have a lower credit rating.
00:43:16.000 And so if American debt isn't valuable in the world anymore,
00:43:21.000 Again, how are we going to import anything?
00:43:23.000 If China, if these Asian countries supply us with the things that we need, if we're not energy independent, if we're not food independent, if we're not raw material independent, and other product independent, and we have nothing to give these countries because our debt isn't good, where are we going to get it?
00:43:45.000 So this is the real issue.
00:43:49.000 Before you worry about the accounting, you need to get people to work.
00:43:54.000 Germany in the 1930s was able to turn their country around in spite of catastrophic hyperinflation.
00:44:01.000 Because they're a productive, industrious society.
00:44:05.000 They've got a great workforce, they've got raw materials, they have land, they have intelligent people, they have real capital.
00:44:13.000 And so it literally didn't matter.
00:44:15.000 Their money, woes, any restrictions on trade, it didn't matter because they could get their people to go out there and make the stuff they needed.
00:44:23.000 That's an economy.
00:44:25.000 But we started to see this last year with Russia and Ukraine.
00:44:29.000 When Russia cut off the spigot of natural gas to Germany and Italy, it was a catastrophe.
00:44:36.000 Because you can't heat your house using debt.
00:44:39.000 You can't heat your house using cash.
00:44:42.000 You need gas.
00:44:44.000 They don't have it.
00:44:48.000 When Russia said that they were going to stop sending fertilizer to the world,
00:44:53.000 Big problem.
00:44:54.000 Guess who was injured most?
00:44:56.000 Countries that don't make their own fertilizer.
00:44:58.000 Because you can't crumple up money and put it on the crops and make the crops grow.
00:45:03.000 Can't feed yourself with debt and money.
00:45:05.000 You need food.
00:45:06.000 You need fertilizer.
00:45:08.000 You need people to go out and harvest those raw materials and refine it.
00:45:13.000 I don't know how fertilizer is made precisely, but they need people to go out and manufacture it and make it.
00:45:19.000 And they need fertile land.
00:45:21.000 And they need people and capital to grow the food.
00:45:27.000 What does this economy do?
00:45:29.000 Most of this economy is hospitals, schools, police and fire, bureaucracy.
00:45:37.000 I mean that's like so much of our economy is people that don't really make stuff.
00:45:43.000 And by the way, that's why we're getting poor in every single way.
00:45:48.000 You may think we're getting rich because we have nicer consumer electronics.
00:45:52.000 You need the nicer consumer electronics, because if you didn't, you'd realize that everything is now made out of plastic, even the clothing, even the food.
00:46:04.000 And that's because we have to get it cheaper, because we don't make stuff, because no one's really doing any work.
00:46:11.000 So, real quality of life, real standard of living has precipitously been going down.
00:46:17.000 It's directly related to our economy not being productive.
00:46:21.000 Maybe people had fewer things 100 years ago, but the things that they have are made out of wood and cotton.
00:46:30.000 And metals and glass the things that we have now take a look around your home, especially if you're in New construction, it's all plastic.
00:46:39.000 It's all synthetic fabricated materials and things and even the food it's all industrial oils like literally byproducts like leftover materials and
00:46:50.000 Not even sugar!
00:46:51.000 Like you would think, a lot of people think of America like we sold our soul to have sugar water and to have a lot of stuff.
00:47:01.000 But it's not even that!
00:47:02.000 It's like we sold our soul and we're drinking not even, we don't even have sugar water anymore.
00:47:06.000 We have high fructose corn syrup water.
00:47:09.000 And we don't even have like a big truck.
00:47:12.000 We have like these shitty plastic cars.
00:47:15.000 And we don't even have big nice houses anymore.
00:47:18.000 We have all plastic furniture.
00:47:22.000 It's not good.
00:47:23.000 We're in a very bad spot economically.
00:47:27.000 So, what we need is a leader and a president who is going to re-industrialize the American economy and bring the manufacturing base back here.
00:47:37.000 It's really, that's the answer.
00:47:39.000 What do you do with all these people that need jobs?
00:47:41.000 Put them in mines.
00:47:43.000 Put them in a cobalt mine in North Dakota or Minnesota.
00:47:48.000 Put them in a mine.
00:47:50.000 Put them in a factory.
00:47:51.000 Build things again.
00:47:55.000 And there's a lot more I could say about it.
00:47:56.000 But that's the situation that's going on with these banks.
00:47:59.000 It's not even the banks.
00:48:00.000 It's not the banks themselves.
00:48:02.000 It's this credit crunch.
00:48:05.000 And it could be catastrophic.
00:48:06.000 They're tightening the economy and it's becoming very rigid and very fragile and it's beginning to break in places.
00:48:13.000 And it's going to continue to be that way.
00:48:15.000 It's not over anytime soon.
00:48:18.000 Despite the Fed pulling out all the stops and making their reassurances.
00:48:25.000 And the only solution is to literally rebuild the economy.
00:48:29.000 But the human capital, the capital, it isn't what it used to be.
00:48:35.000 Not even close.
00:48:38.000 So that's that.
00:48:39.000 But I want to move on.
00:48:40.000 I want to get into this Proud Boy conviction today.
00:48:45.000 And this is our big featured story tonight.
00:48:48.000 In case you missed it, there were a number of Proud Boys today that were convicted for their role in January 6th on felony sedition charges, which is a really big deal.
00:49:00.000 As I said at the top of the show, there's one crime listed in the Constitution, which is treason, and sedition is just below that.
00:49:08.000 And sedition, which we'll read the definition in a moment, means that they tried to overthrow the government of America.
00:49:16.000 Carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
00:49:20.000 And virtually all of them got hit with this.
00:49:23.000 So this is a story from BBC.
00:49:25.000 It says, quote, Five members of the far-right Proud Boys, including former leader Enrique Tarrio, faced decades in jail after being found guilty for their role in the January 6th Capitol riot.
00:49:37.000 Four were convicted of seditious conspiracy and all five were found guilty of obstructing official proceedings alongside other felonies.
00:49:45.000 The most serious charges carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison.
00:49:50.000 So they could conceivably get 20 years for obstructing an act of Congress and they could get another 20 for sedition.
00:49:57.000 They're facing life, realistically.
00:50:01.000 More than 100 members of the far-right all-male group joined the Capitol riot.
00:50:05.000 All five defendants were found guilty of conspiracy to prevent officials from discharging their duties, impeding officers during civil disorder, and destruction of offense protecting the Capitol.
00:50:15.000 A mistrial was declared on a total of 10 charges against the men where the jury failed to come to a conclusion.
00:50:23.000 The Proud Boys were steadfast supporters of Donald Trump who marched several times in D.C.
00:50:28.000 after the election, often clashing with far-left anti-fascists.
00:50:33.000 Their protests culminated on January 6, 2021, as the election results were due to be certified by Congress.
00:50:40.000 Unlike his co-defendants, former Proud Boy Chairman Henry Enrique Tarrio was not in Washington that day.
00:50:47.000 He was actually arrested two days before for burning a BLM banner and for other weapons charges.
00:50:55.000 Tarrio's co-defendants included Ethan Nordean of Washington State.
00:51:00.000 Nordean was active in street protests and brawls with anti-fascists in the Pacific Northwest.
00:51:08.000 In video from January 6, he was seen leading members of the group around the Capitol with co-defendant Joe Biggs of Florida, a U.S.
00:51:14.000 Army veteran and former broadcaster for InfoWars.
00:51:18.000 Zachary Rell, a former U.S.
00:51:20.000 Marine and leader of the Philadelphia branch of Proud Boys, was also part of a group that stormed the building.
00:51:26.000 And a fifth defendant, 44-year-old Dominic Pizzola of Rochester, New York, was found not guilty of seditious conspiracy.
00:51:35.000 Pazola, a former Marine and, at the time, relatively new recruit to the group, took a riot shield from police and smashed a window.
00:51:43.000 He was one of the first people in the building and lit a cigar in celebration.
00:51:46.000 However, while testifying in his own defense, he said he was acting alone and had not met his co-defendants prior to that day.
00:51:53.000 He was convicted of assaulting a police officer while taking the riot shield, while the others were found not guilty on that charge.
00:52:00.000 Under U.S.
00:52:01.000 law, seditious conspiracy,
00:52:03.000 As defined as a plot to overthrow the government or use force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States government.
00:52:14.000 So, this is a pretty big deal.
00:52:15.000 This is, of course, 100% political.
00:52:20.000 These guys are having the book thrown at them.
00:52:22.000 And it only makes sense from one point of view.
00:52:27.000 Which is that, and I've often said this about January 6th, people underestimate what was really going on there.
00:52:34.000 And not just there, but in that entire season throughout Stop the Steal.
00:52:40.000 Because you had a sitting, a then sitting President, even though he was a lame duck, he's acting as the Chief Executive of America, you have the sitting President of the United States openly defying the results of the election.
00:52:58.000 We're good to go.
00:53:15.000 And when all of that transpired, not only did he resist it and not accept the results and try every way of overturning it, but he then summoned hundreds of thousands of his supporters to the nation's capital city, and in a way summoned them to the Capitol building where that constitutional process was happening in the Congress.
00:53:41.000 And the supporters breached, and they got in, and they delayed this.
00:53:45.000 Now, if you're sitting from our point of view, you're saying this is awesome because the government's corrupt, and the election was rigged, and even though what they did was improper that day, and maybe there was some false flag element, it represents the anger that's being felt by the people.
00:54:04.000 Because our entire... talk about a process being overturned.
00:54:08.000 Our entire way of government, our entire way of life is being overturned by money and media.
00:54:14.000 So people said, yeah, the election's rigged, Congress is rigged, and we never even had a chance with all the mail-in ballots and with this conspiracy to stop us from challenging the results.
00:54:25.000 We never had a chance.
00:54:27.000 So you get it.
00:54:28.000 But from their point of view, they see that our capital city, our capital building, was unsecured.
00:54:36.000 When this all-important transition was taking place of the head of state and the head of government, which discharges all the administrative duties of the military and the federal government, it's like a really big deal.
00:54:48.000 And so if you're looking for a reason why, it is that they are, I mean, they legitimately are charging these people for that, in addition to it being political.
00:55:01.000 But it really, I think,
00:55:04.000 It demonstrates the significance of all of this, which is that it really isn't about Republicans and Democrats.
00:55:11.000 It isn't even, to some extent, about civil liberties at all.
00:55:17.000 What I'm trying to say is that you cannot defend the Proud Boys without acknowledging that the government's not legitimate.
00:55:23.000 You understand what I'm saying?
00:55:25.000 There's no argument where you say, come on, take it easy.
00:55:28.000 I mean, they can't take it easy.
00:55:30.000 If you believe this government is legitimate, if you believe that everything is okay, we just have some problems with the leadership,
00:55:38.000 Then this is kind of what the government has to do.
00:55:41.000 If the Capitol building is stormed on Election Day, even if there were bad elements involved, they have to throw the book at these people.
00:55:52.000 The only way that you can defend this is to say that election needed to be overturned by any means necessary.
00:55:59.000 It needed to be overturned because the entire process is rigged, because this government does not adhere to the Constitution.
00:56:06.000 It is therefore not sovereign over the people.
00:56:09.000 And you realize that this is not about an election.
00:56:12.000 It's not about parties or conservatives or liberals.
00:56:16.000 It's about groups of people.
00:56:18.000 And it's about this regime, which is very clearly trying to eliminate a challenge to its authority.
00:56:24.000 That's what this is about.
00:56:25.000 That Trump, with his base of supporters, is trying to perform regime change in the American government.
00:56:31.000 And in 2016, did it peacefully, legally, through the election.
00:56:36.000 He got elected and said, I'm going to drain the swamp, I'm going to fire everybody in the government, have a clean change in regime in who pulls the levers of power in the capital city.
00:56:47.000 And the regime fought back.
00:56:48.000 They said, we don't want to go.
00:56:51.000 So we're going to throw impeachment, and the special counsel, and we're going to throw mail-in ballots, and the pandemic, and you name it.
00:56:58.000 And we're going to rig the next election, and we're going to conspire to stop you from overturning it, which is your right to make that attempt.
00:57:06.000 You know, we have a legal process.
00:57:07.000 Everything that was done was legal.
00:57:13.000 And then, of course, the regime won.
00:57:16.000 Because they successfully forced Trump out.
00:57:20.000 They took advantage of their immense resources and their entrenched bureaucracy everywhere, and they're able to remove him from power.
00:57:28.000 And you could say, at the minimum, that it was exuberance, it was anger that was expressed.
00:57:34.000 It was a riot on January 6th.
00:57:36.000 But the way the regime looks at it is that
00:57:39.000 The regime beat them, defeated their legal attempt at regime change, and then they tried an illegal kind of regime change.
00:57:46.000 Although there's no evidence for this.
00:57:47.000 But that's what it represents.
00:57:49.000 And so now, what they're doing, and it's very smart, is they're bringing in all the lawyers and all the spies and all the agents to deliver thousands, as many people that are involved in that as possible, to jail.
00:58:03.000 So that they cannot rise against the regime.
00:58:06.000 So that they can't work for Trump in his election.
00:58:09.000 So that they can't go on Twitter and spread their anti-regime message.
00:58:15.000 But make no mistake about it, this is exactly like the American Revolution.
00:58:19.000 Which is that you've got this burgeoning... And it's not to say that January 6th was an insurrection attempt, it wasn't.
00:58:26.000 I would compare it more to like the Boston Tea Party.
00:58:29.000 But they killed people for that.
00:58:31.000 They kill people for that because they can't have these visuals.
00:58:35.000 They can't have this display of defiance and rebellion.
00:58:39.000 So they gotta lynch everybody involved.
00:58:41.000 They gotta round them up, bring them to the authorities, and kill them.
00:58:46.000 Which is what they're doing.
00:58:48.000 And that's why they're going after Ricky Vaughn, that's why they're doing lawfare against Alex Jones, against Tucker, against you name it, Madison Cawthorne, Matt Gaetz, against me.
00:58:58.000 That's why they have to go hard as they can against everybody involved.
00:59:03.000 Because if they can disorganize and disintegrate this opposition to the regime, then they stand unopposed.
00:59:12.000 Who's gonna fight them?
00:59:15.000 If it's Biden vs. DeSantis, the House controls both sides.
00:59:20.000 The House meaning the casino.
00:59:22.000 The uni- whatever you want to call it.
00:59:24.000 Uni-party, globalists, the regime.
00:59:28.000 If Trump, as a leader, as a figurehead, if his lieutenants, his family, his business, if all these people are tied up in legal jeopardy, some of them in jail, some of them running out of money, being spied on, leaned on, in every kind of way, if his lieutenants in Congress, in his business, on his campaign, his donors, his family, if they're all subject to maximum pressure by the regime, then this
00:59:55.000 Rebellion dies.
00:59:57.000 That's what this is about.
01:00:00.000 So from the perspective of, from the correct perspective, these guys are like the Boston Tea Party heroes.
01:00:07.000 These guys are like the Continental Army.
01:00:10.000 These are like the original Patriots.
01:00:13.000 Everybody at January 6th and Stop the Steal is this way.
01:00:15.000 Anybody that supports Trump.
01:00:17.000 Trump is like our George Washington.
01:00:22.000 And you have to understand that they're not messing around.
01:00:25.000 Everybody thought it was fun and games in 2016 because everybody said, hey, it'd be kind of funny if Trump were president.
01:00:31.000 Like, this guy's saying he wants to build a wall and throw all the Mexicans over it.
01:00:34.000 That's kind of funny.
01:00:36.000 What if we made jokes about it on the internet?
01:00:39.000 And here we are in 2020 and the DOJ is throwing people in jail for a hundred years.
01:00:48.000 Because it's deadly serious to them.
01:00:50.000 I mean, they are treating us, and it's no secret, over the past couple years, and DHS, FBI, DOJ, they have been treating us as terrorists, which is what they view us as, which is what they viewed Sam Adams and Washington and all the rest as hundreds of years ago.
01:01:09.000 So, none of this surprises me, and it's a shame.
01:01:12.000 I don't think they'll get any justice.
01:01:14.000 They can appeal this.
01:01:16.000 But here's the thing about the FBI and the DOJ.
01:01:19.000 They don't charge people unless they know that they gotcha.
01:01:24.000 Because they've got a 95% plus conviction rate.
01:01:28.000 So when they go out there and they appropriate billions and billions of dollars for themselves and they go out and they expand their office and bring on lawyers and judges and agents
01:01:43.000 And they throw the book at these guys, building their case over years, subpoenaing records from the telecom companies, the big tech companies, subpoenaing all the various individuals and groups.
01:01:54.000 I mean, they got you.
01:01:56.000 They're not charging anybody if they don't got them.
01:01:58.000 So that these guys went to trial and got convicted shouldn't be a surprise to anybody.
01:02:03.000 Honestly, it's just incredibly sad and tragic.
01:02:08.000 These people are being made example of.
01:02:13.000 They literally would be shooting them with a firing squad if they could.
01:02:17.000 The government would.
01:02:19.000 They're going to do the next best thing, which is to throw them in prison forever.
01:02:23.000 And it's going to devastate their families, and it's going to devastate them, and it's horrible, and it's tragic.
01:02:29.000 But by the same token, these are the stakes.
01:02:34.000 These are the wages of what we're talking about.
01:02:36.000 Do you think that everything going the way it is, like I just described earlier, our country being de-industrialized, our country being looted, the satanic new religion being imposed on us, do you think that these people are gonna let go of the reins of this multi-multi-trillion dollar mafia scheme they've got going?
01:02:56.000 And they're just gonna say, hey, well, you beat us fair and square.
01:02:58.000 I guess we needed some of that meme magic, huh?
01:03:02.000 They're going to kill you, they're going to kill your kids, they're going to kill your whole family, they're going to burn down your childhood home.
01:03:10.000 They'll kill anybody who ever knew, if it means that they can stay in power.
01:03:14.000 And so, in ways that you can't predict, in ways that will be unforeseen, people are going to stumble into these kinds of traps, and these kinds of things, and it's horrible.
01:03:27.000 You have to decide for yourself, is it worth it to save our country?
01:03:30.000 Is it worth it to do the right thing?
01:03:32.000 And the only difference between... Well, I would say there are some precautions you could take.
01:03:36.000 I've always advised against being in militias or groups and breaking laws, which they did all those things, and it's not to blame them and victim blame, but it is to say I think that's a very high-risk strategy.
01:03:48.000 If you want to avoid risk, you could start by not being in a militia and breaking laws.
01:03:54.000 Doesn't always protect you like Ricky Vaughn.
01:03:57.000 Ricky Vaughn played it as clever as he could.
01:04:00.000 He was anonymous.
01:04:02.000 He was a Twitter poster.
01:04:03.000 People would say, how you get thrown in jail for posting on Twitter?
01:04:07.000 They'll find a way.
01:04:09.000 So there are things we could do to mitigate risk.
01:04:13.000 But by and large, if you're fighting, if you're out there, if you're succeeding, if you're winning, you're gonna get leaned on.
01:04:19.000 There's gonna be pressure.
01:04:20.000 They'll find a way.
01:04:23.000 People just have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice and if it's worth it.
01:04:27.000 Some people increasingly are saying it's not.
01:04:30.000 Some people after the, and this is what we've been seeing a lot of in the last two years, after January 6th, a lot of people made the decision, they said, it's not worth it.
01:04:38.000 I want to live my life.
01:04:40.000 I don't want to go to jail forever.
01:04:41.000 I don't want to die for this.
01:04:43.000 It's not worth it.
01:04:46.000 I'm going to go and live with my family because it's unsolvable anyway.
01:04:50.000 We're not going to win anyway.
01:04:52.000 And honestly, that's people's prerogative.
01:04:55.000 But the tone change after 21 in everything owes to this.
01:05:01.000 That prior to 21, it wasn't real.
01:05:03.000 Everybody thought we were just kind of having fun.
01:05:05.000 And then after 2021, when the Empire struck back and they, you know, charged up the Death Star and blew up our village, everybody was like, oh okay, they're not messing around.
01:05:16.000 I guess this is serious.
01:05:17.000 And it is.
01:05:21.000 So some people said they want to play ball a little more.
01:05:23.000 They want to get out of the way.
01:05:25.000 And that's perfectly acceptable.
01:05:28.000 But make no mistake about it, that is what transpired two years ago.
01:05:33.000 That's what changed everything.
01:05:35.000 Is that people saw the ruin.
01:05:38.000 People saw the brutality of the regime.
01:05:41.000 And it's still unfolding.
01:05:42.000 It's still playing out in front of us.
01:05:44.000 So you got to pray for these guys.
01:05:46.000 We got to take care of their families.
01:05:49.000 And support the people that have yet to be prosecuted.
01:05:53.000 They're probably going to arrest another thousand people.
01:05:56.000 Got to put our noses down and you know what?
01:05:58.000 I mean, whoever decides to run in 24, if it's the existing candidates, if it's yet unannounced candidates, we got to do everything in our power to make sure that somebody favorable gets in.
01:06:10.000 And that means not Biden, not DeSantis.
01:06:15.000 That's all we could do.
01:06:16.000 That's it.
01:06:17.000 But anyway, so that's the show.
01:06:18.000 I mean, kind of a depressing show tonight.
01:06:23.000 Kind of sad.
01:06:24.000 But, you know, it's a risky business.
01:06:26.000 So, pray for these Proud Boy defendants.
01:06:29.000 And listen, I hope that they can overturn it in the appeals, but quite honestly, I just have no confidence.
01:06:34.000 Like I said, if they charge you, they've got a airtight case.
01:06:39.000 Especially with these, because they know they need it.
01:06:45.000 We can hope, we can pray, but there will be casualties.
01:06:50.000 I know that sounds callous, and I feel nothing but empathy and sympathy for these people, and especially for their families.
01:07:00.000 Because what people don't realize is not just you going to jail, it's your whole world gets shattered with something like this.
01:07:07.000 I can only imagine.
01:07:10.000 But...
01:07:11.000 We're in a war here.
01:07:13.000 And just like people got cut down on the beaches of Normandy, in a similar way, those sorts of things will happen here too.
01:07:23.000 And you could be left alone your whole life if you just never speak out.
01:07:26.000 It's a decision people have to make.
01:07:28.000 But anyway, that's that.
01:07:30.000 On a solemn note, that's that.
01:07:32.000 Pray for these guys.
01:07:33.000 God bless them.
01:07:34.000 But I'm going to move on.
01:07:35.000 I think I'm going to read the Super Chats from yesterday and tonight.
01:07:40.000 I'll see how many I have tonight.
01:07:41.000 Yesterday I didn't read them.
01:07:43.000 There were some big ones.
01:07:46.000 So I'll get through as many of these as I can.
01:07:50.000 I think I can read all of them.
01:07:54.000 So let's see.
01:07:54.000 Let me just get this set up.
01:07:58.000 I'm not going to put my headphones on though because I...
01:08:04.000 Because I don't want to.
01:08:07.000 You know, I don't really feel like it.
01:08:08.000 That's why.
01:08:09.000 Okay.
01:08:10.000 So let me get this all set up here.
01:08:19.000 I'll pull these up.
01:08:26.000 Okay.
01:08:29.000 It's true.
01:08:29.000 Thank you very much, man.
01:08:29.000 At the end of the day, that is kind of like the only thing that's happening.
01:08:32.000 It's so prophetic.
01:08:32.000 I got cancelled for the first time in 2017.
01:08:57.000 We're like, really cancelled.
01:09:00.000 I got cancelled in August 2017 for the first time because I said, what?
01:09:04.000 What did I say?
01:09:05.000 I said, Jews hurt me in my daily life.
01:09:09.000 This girl said, so you think Jews hurt you in your daily existence?
01:09:13.000 And I said, absolutely.
01:09:16.000 And that's kind of been my life ever since.
01:09:19.000 Go figure.
01:09:21.000 So, yeah, that's kind of like the only salient thing going on in politics.
01:09:26.000 People, they talk about, like, it's these businesses, it's these, it's the woke cult.
01:09:33.000 Nah, it's the Jews.
01:09:34.000 It's absolutely, to this day, it's still the synagogue of Satan.
01:09:38.000 I'm sorry.
01:09:38.000 That's just true.
01:09:39.000 That, and that's just true.
01:09:41.000 Okay, I mean, that's just true.
01:09:44.000 So, anyway.
01:09:47.000 Yeah, so we covered that the other night.
01:09:50.000 Gail Bra sent $20.
01:09:52.000 After super chatting about going becoming Catholic, I've been attending Mass, and I am beginning Risha very soon.
01:09:58.000 And that's because of you and this show.
01:10:00.000 I can't thank you enough for bringing me to Christ and the Catholic Church.
01:10:04.000 You save lives.
01:10:05.000 Hey, thank you very much, man.
01:10:07.000 I really appreciate that.
01:10:08.000 I'm glad to hear it.
01:10:09.000 Good for you, man.
01:10:10.000 God bless.
01:10:11.000 Start your RCIA because a lot of most RCIA classes, you need to enroll a certain time of the year.
01:10:20.000 I don't know exactly when, but they do all the confirmations or baptisms at Easter.
01:10:26.000 So they start some period out from Easter.
01:10:28.000 So you got to get on that.
01:10:29.000 But good for you, man.
01:10:31.000 I love to hear that.
01:10:32.000 God bless.
01:10:34.000 Sewer Lizard sent $50.
01:10:35.000 Don't die.
01:10:37.000 Thanks!
01:10:38.000 Hey, thanks for the big super chat, Sewer Lizard.
01:10:40.000 I'm trying.
01:10:42.000 I'm trying not to die, man.
01:10:43.000 Every day I'm just fighting to stay alive over here.
01:10:47.000 Pray.
01:10:48.000 Pray for my protection.
01:10:49.000 I gotta put on the armor of God.
01:10:51.000 I gotta be a good guy.
01:10:53.000 Vinsurrection sent $150.
01:10:56.000 Gotta raise so here's some love.
01:10:58.000 Good to see you back on your feet.
01:11:00.000 No car crash can keep the growiper down.
01:11:02.000 Thank you very much for the big super chat.
01:11:05.000 I appreciate it.
01:11:07.000 Yeah, you know, it's good to be back.
01:11:12.000 Cause in that instant, I didn't know, you know, I mean I get in this brutal crash and
01:11:19.000 And I never lost consciousness, but I get hit, I get hit again, and I'm sitting there, and what I know is happening is that my adrenaline is up.
01:11:27.000 I know that I'm in shock.
01:11:29.000 So I know that if I'm badly injured, I'm not gonna feel any pain.
01:11:33.000 So I got kind of nervous because I'm thinking like, well, I don't feel like I'm in too much pain, but also I know that I wouldn't be, even if I had a real issue.
01:11:44.000 So...
01:11:46.000 At first I'm thinking, like, am I dead?
01:11:48.000 Like, did my chest cave in?
01:11:50.000 Did I, like, did my heart explode?
01:11:52.000 Like, am I alive?
01:11:54.000 But I was able to jump out of the car and I sat down and then almost instantly I was just in horrible pain, but thank God.
01:12:00.000 Nothing too bad, so...
01:12:03.000 There was a, I have to say, I didn't really have a tremendously profound experience.
01:12:08.000 I didn't cry, I didn't like have a epiphany or anything.
01:12:12.000 So I was like, yeah, I got in a car crash and almost died.
01:12:15.000 I almost die every day doing what I do with this, you know, anti or counter-Semitic deal.
01:12:25.000 But I was a little freaked out for a second because I'm like, what, what's going to happen to me?
01:12:29.000 Like, am I going to be okay?
01:12:32.000 But thankfully, within a few hours, it was clear that I was not going to be able to take a long vacation.
01:12:37.000 Thank God, you know.
01:12:38.000 Now, I shouldn't say that glibly, but... But yeah, so I was able to get back on my feet.
01:12:45.000 You know, I was a little uncomfortable for a few days, but once I got cleared, I was ready to come back.
01:12:50.000 So it feels good, because I was like, man, it could have been really bad.
01:12:53.000 I could have either died or been, in some way, completely incapacitated, so...
01:13:02.000 Yeah, man.
01:13:04.000 It's scary stuff, but that's life.
01:13:06.000 You know, you roll the dice every day.
01:13:09.000 Richard Percival sent $5.
01:13:10.000 DeSantis flies to Israel and you're in a car accident the same week?
01:13:15.000 I'm glad they didn't take you out, King.
01:13:17.000 They're really trying their best.
01:13:18.000 The devil's working his magic.
01:13:21.000 Last couple years, man, the devil's been out to get me.
01:13:24.000 I've been like target number one.
01:13:25.000 It feels like that.
01:13:26.000 I don't know.
01:13:28.000 But...
01:13:30.000 You know, it's like I always say, either they're gonna kill me and I go to heaven as a martyr, or they don't and I get to keep doing this, so... There it is.
01:13:42.000 Hey, I love you too, buddy.
01:13:46.000 Yeah, hey, I miss Twitter, too.
01:13:47.000 I appeal every day.
01:13:49.000 It never works.
01:13:51.000 We'll see.
01:13:52.000 True, though.
01:13:52.000 What's a stepper?
01:14:00.000 Hey, thank you.
01:14:01.000 I missed you as well.
01:14:02.000 Whoops!
01:14:02.000 Definitely.
01:14:03.000 Crash another car.
01:14:04.000 Crash another convertible today.
01:14:06.000 Jump out.
01:14:06.000 Eh, it's fine.
01:14:07.000 I don't know if it's Rockstar.
01:14:09.000 Kinda cool.
01:14:31.000 Well, he loves their lead designer, Demna.
01:14:34.000 He thinks that Demna's like the best designer ever.
01:14:37.000 So he's all over that.
01:14:38.000 He's got... I think that's his next project.
01:14:41.000 He's got all these thousands and thousands of... thousands of pieces from Balenciaga that I think he's gonna give away or he's gonna sell.
01:14:51.000 So he's just like totally inspired by Demna.
01:14:55.000 And I agree.
01:14:56.000 I love the Balenciaga stuff.
01:14:59.000 I think it's very...
01:15:01.000 I mean, maybe I'm just copying Ye, but I think it's awesome, so... He's a big fan.
01:15:06.000 No, uh, it's St.
01:15:06.000 Joseph's Prayer.
01:15:18.000 My grandma, she had, when she died, she had like five super old, typed out on a typewriter, copies of the St.
01:15:26.000 Joseph's Prayer.
01:15:27.000 And it's this very old, I love this old school stuff, it's literally written on a typewriter.
01:15:34.000 And it says the St.
01:15:35.000 Joseph's Prayer and then it has a little blurb on the bottom and it says something like, if you pray this or carry it on your person, you'll be spared from a sudden death.
01:15:45.000 This prayer has never been known to fail.
01:15:47.000 And it's sort of, and I don't know if that's true.
01:15:49.000 I mean, I just found like five copies of this on my grandma's desk.
01:15:57.000 But I just love stuff like that.
01:15:58.000 It's very, like, old-school, like, wives' tale.
01:16:01.000 Like, you don't even know where this stuff comes from, but they, you know, it just says stuff like that.
01:16:06.000 So, yeah, I carry that around with me.
01:16:09.000 I wasn't carrying it that day.
01:16:11.000 Somehow, I was able to live anyway, but I keep it by my bedside.
01:16:14.000 When I travel, I put it in my briefcase.
01:16:18.000 So, I guess it still works.
01:16:20.000 I guess it still works as long as you keep it by your bedside.
01:16:23.000 User tips.
01:16:26.000 But, anyway.
01:16:28.000 Trombone Zoomer sent $3.
01:16:31.000 Glory to God in the highest.
01:16:33.000 Nick is safe despite the Jew's best efforts.
01:16:35.000 We all love you like you would not believe.
01:16:38.000 Hey, thanks man.
01:16:38.000 I love you too, buddy.
01:16:39.000 I appreciate it.
01:16:43.000 The Unknown Soldier sent $5.
01:16:45.000 Nick, you need a convoy of grow-appers driving in front and beyond you like the President does so we can take a hit for you.
01:16:53.000 Yeah, yeah, that's... I was thinking the same thing actually.
01:17:01.000 Are people saying that?
01:17:02.000 I'm real.
01:17:03.000 I don't know... AI can never replace me because I'm too... I'm too human.
01:17:08.000 I'm too... I'm too perfectly imperfect.
01:17:11.000 I'm too cute, too funny.
01:17:15.000 Random.
01:17:18.000 I'm too random.
01:17:20.000 so uh no i don't think i don't i think ai would have a hard time replacing me that's how you know you're a real human being like there are some people that ai could easily replace but me i'm like one of the very few people that ai can never replicate i maybe maybe i'm flattering myself i don't know whoops the unknown
01:17:41.000 Kaiser Rev sent $10.
01:17:43.000 May 1st, 2017 was thought to be the final week of America First and now we're here.
01:17:48.000 Nick and AF have come a very long way.
01:17:50.000 Looking forward to what's next.
01:17:52.000 Thank the Lord that Nick's safe from the accident.
01:17:55.000 We are praying to Jesus for you.
01:17:57.000 Yeah, remember that?
01:17:58.000 Yeah, back in May 2017, I got shut down.
01:18:02.000 And honestly, I thought I was done with the show forever.
01:18:05.000 Because I was kind of glad to be done.
01:18:08.000 I did the show from like February 6th to early May 2017.
01:18:13.000 I was on for like three months.
01:18:16.000 And the show was getting no traction and nobody watched it.
01:18:20.000 And it was really frustrating because, I mean, they didn't really know what they were doing over there yet.
01:18:26.000 No shade to RSBN, but they just hadn't figured it out yet.
01:18:31.000 So I was very frustrated with my producer, very frustrated with the Seals guys.
01:18:36.000 And so when they called me up and they said, we got to cancel your show because it's not making any money and it costs more to do it than you make, I said, I think that's for the best.
01:18:47.000 I said, I think I'm done.
01:18:48.000 And I was going to be done.
01:18:50.000 I wasn't going to bring it back.
01:18:51.000 I was like, I'm sick of live streaming.
01:18:53.000 I don't think I'm ever going to do it again.
01:18:55.000 I'm going to work for the Leadership Institute.
01:18:57.000 That was my plan.
01:18:58.000 I was going to go to that job training and I was going to get the job and be a regional director.
01:19:03.000 And I was just going to be another one of these guys.
01:19:07.000 And I got brought back by popular demand.
01:19:10.000 The Seals called me back like a week later and they're like, dude, you gotta come back and do the show.
01:19:15.000 All of our number one fans are begging for you to come back and we figured out a way where we could do it and it could be profitable.
01:19:23.000 And I was like, nah, I don't really want to do it.
01:19:25.000 And they're like, come on.
01:19:26.000 And I said, well, I'll do it Monday, Wednesday, Friday in the afternoon.
01:19:30.000 And they said, okay.
01:19:31.000 And I came back on May 17th.
01:19:33.000 I remember that because that's Jack Kennedy's birthday.
01:19:35.000 Or is it May 20th?
01:19:38.000 I know it's...I think it's May...May 29th, 1917.
01:19:41.000 Because I believe that's Jack Kennedy's birthday.
01:19:45.000 Because I know it's a May birthday.
01:19:48.000 I know it's 17.
01:19:49.000 And that was the day I came back because I'm like...because I'm a big JFK guy.
01:19:54.000 And anyway, so I did wind up bringing the show back and the rest is history.
01:19:58.000 But yeah, I remember thinking I'm done with live streaming.
01:20:01.000 It's not because I got canceled, but I, like, for political reasons, but I was just not successful.
01:20:09.000 And they brought me back.
01:20:10.000 And you know what?
01:20:10.000 I wasn't successful on my second run in RSVN.
01:20:14.000 And I wasn't successful on my own.
01:20:17.000 And I wasn't successful at James Alsup.
01:20:19.000 And then I wasn't successful on my own for another year.
01:20:23.000 And it wasn't until almost two years later that I even got any traction.
01:20:28.000 I got on the train wrecks debate in early April 2019.
01:20:35.000 So it took me just shy of two years to ever even begin to have any success.
01:20:45.000 And since then, yeah, it's been over many, many, many times, right?
01:20:50.000 But
01:20:52.000 You know, it's not over until I say it's over.
01:20:56.000 I'm like Walter White.
01:20:58.000 It's not over until I say it's over.
01:21:01.000 I've been binging Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul for the last couple weeks, so...
01:21:05.000 But that's me.
01:21:06.000 I'm like, it's not over until I say so.
01:21:09.000 You're not done until I say you're done.
01:21:11.000 That's me to you.
01:21:13.000 That's me to the audience.
01:21:14.000 The audience is being gaslit constantly.
01:21:16.000 They're like, you know, Nick is terrible.
01:21:18.000 Nick is corrupt.
01:21:19.000 Nick is... He's all these things.
01:21:22.000 And I go to the audience, listen.
01:21:24.000 We're not done until I say we're done here.
01:21:28.000 Alright?
01:21:32.000 I don't love that show.
01:21:33.000 I know it's cringe.
01:21:35.000 I didn't want to, I didn't want to buy into it for the longest time because it was such a normie thing.
01:21:39.000 I thought it was like normie trash.
01:21:42.000 But it is so good honestly.
01:21:48.000 I'm Coke.
01:21:50.000 I'm selling classic Coke.
01:21:52.000 Honestly though, that character is so Reddit.
01:21:57.000 I like Better Call Saul better.
01:21:58.000 I feel like that's a better character.
01:22:00.000 Because a Walter White character is a little Reddit.
01:22:03.000 Like the first season when they're doing all these tie-ins, he's like teaching a chemistry lesson and there's like a theme.
01:22:10.000 You know what I'm talking about?
01:22:11.000 For people that saw the show.
01:22:13.000 The first season, it opens with Bryan Cranston
01:22:18.000 is doing a high school chemistry lesson about a chemistry principle and then that principle is metaphorically illustrated in the course of the show.
01:22:31.000 That is so cringe!
01:22:33.000 And like the fedora thing the like I'm gonna put my fedora back on and when he confronts the guy in the desert and he's like I'm selling classic coke you ate my product at every turn it's so cringe!
01:22:48.000 I mean it's like campy, but in a good way.
01:22:50.000 It's like campy, but in a fun Like like I enjoyed it.
01:22:54.000 Don't get me wrong, but it is so campy So yeah, I like it it's campy in the way that The Emperor is campy in Star Wars or Anakin's campy So I mean don't get me wrong.
01:23:11.000 I like it but But some of that stuff was just bad
01:23:18.000 I'm selling classic Coke.
01:23:21.000 Face it, you already ate my product at every turn.
01:23:27.000 In a dialogue, you know, they definitely had to work their way through it.
01:23:31.000 It got a lot better.
01:23:34.000 Better call Saul by the end was, in my opinion, superior.
01:23:39.000 Anyway.
01:23:41.000 But there was a lot of good stuff in there too.
01:23:43.000 Just great characters.
01:23:46.000 Walter.
01:23:49.000 The main guy, Mike, he's good.
01:23:52.000 And, uh... Saul character's great.
01:23:56.000 Love that.
01:23:57.000 Anyway.
01:23:58.000 So... Anyway!
01:24:02.000 Someone says watch Mad Men?
01:24:04.000 I'm not gonna do that.
01:24:05.000 I watch a few episodes of Mad Men.
01:24:06.000 It was shit.
01:24:07.000 I'm not watching Mad Men.
01:24:12.000 So, anyway.
01:24:18.000 So what was I saying?
01:24:19.000 I don't even remember where I was at.
01:24:20.000 Oh yeah yeah.
01:24:21.000 So yeah.
01:24:22.000 You're not done until I say you're done.
01:24:24.000 That's a lesson of the show.
01:24:27.000 Just like in my favorite t-shirt.
01:24:29.000 Hey thanks a lot buddy.
01:24:30.000 Wow you really didn't miss a beat here.
01:24:42.000 Alex K sent $3.
01:24:44.000 You and he had your car accidents just eight months and six days apart.
01:24:47.000 Thankfully you both had an angel.
01:24:49.000 So great to have you back.
01:24:52.000 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as I looked it up and we got in a car crash like basically around the same age, which is kind of trippy to think about.
01:25:03.000 There's a lot of like, there's a lot of weird analogs there.
01:25:08.000 So.
01:25:11.000 Yeah, so I thought about that too.
01:25:12.000 I got in a car crash, it was one of the first things I thought about.
01:25:17.000 Alex K. sent $3.
01:25:18.000 I swear, this right here, history in the making, man.
01:25:22.000 Absolutely.
01:25:25.000 GolfingGrouper sent $3.
01:25:27.000 I must got an angel cuz look how death missed his ass unbreakable.
01:25:31.000 What you thought they'd call me Mr. Glass?
01:25:33.000 Look back on my life like the ghost of Christmas past toys are us where I used to spend.
01:25:39.000 Which one is this from?
01:25:40.000 I don't recognize this one.
01:25:42.000 Oh, Through the Wire.
01:25:44.000 See, Through the Wire's never been one of my favorites, even though it was very relevant to me.
01:25:49.000 At least in the last week.
01:25:51.000 I mean, Through the Wire, it represents a lot for who he is, but it was never one of my favorite... ...yay songs.
01:26:00.000 But, I'll have to listen to it more now.
01:26:03.000 Hey, thanks a lot.
01:26:09.000 Thank you.
01:26:10.000 Yeah, Plot Armor.
01:26:17.000 I told you when I was out in LA, I'm like, God must be like, man, this guy keeps getting into trouble.
01:26:23.000 Like, I'm sick of going out and saving this man's life.
01:26:27.000 The Plot Armor on me is kind of crazy.
01:26:30.000 So, I gotta try and take it easy, I guess, for a little while.
01:26:32.000 Hey, love you.
01:26:37.000 Amen!
01:26:37.000 Love that prayer.
01:27:03.000 Mike Vance sent $5.
01:27:04.000 Yoba is back.
01:27:06.000 The Immaculata Catholic Church is consecrated.
01:27:09.000 Nick returns.
01:27:10.000 Yup, I'm thinking we're so back.
01:27:12.000 Yeah, we're back.
01:27:14.000 Farid Lukovic sent $10.
01:27:15.000 Elon is a old dork and a boomer faggot.
01:27:19.000 If Sean Hannity was a billionaire he would be Elon Musk on Twitter.
01:27:23.000 Mmm, I disagree.
01:27:25.000 I get it.
01:27:26.000 I get it because it's that thing I don't like.
01:27:28.000 Very good.
01:27:29.000 Hey, thank you very much, ScribbleGroiper.
01:27:32.000 I appreciate it.
01:27:32.000 I did, yeah.
01:27:33.000 But it... there's a lot of that.
01:27:36.000 There's just a lot of violence over there.
01:27:39.000 I feel... when I see a school shooting in Serbia, it's like...
01:27:56.000 Isn't that kind of how it is over there?
01:27:59.000 Well they just don't want you to love who you are, man.
01:28:11.000 These companies that are decentralized and not run, definitely not run by the Jews, they just want you to be the best version of yourself, just not too pro-white.
01:28:20.000 So yeah, that's about right.
01:28:22.000 That tracks.
01:28:24.000 Thanks a lot!
01:28:25.000 Whoa!
01:28:31.000 Hey, thanks a lot, Jewfree!
01:28:35.000 Whoa!
01:28:35.000 Jewfree sent $300.
01:28:36.000 Funny how Tucker won't touch white identity because it's too divisive but also because they believe in individualism.
01:28:42.000 When you think about it, what's more divisive than each person being divided from each other individually, not allowed to be part of a group?
01:28:49.000 Especially when every other race gets to have their group who advocates for them.
01:28:53.000 Preaching to the choir here, I know.
01:28:55.000 Just my thoughts.
01:28:57.000 Well, thank you very much for the big superchats.
01:28:59.000 07s.
01:29:00.000 Let's get an 07 for Jewfree in the chat.
01:29:02.000 Not to be confused with Jew.
01:29:04.000 Just Jewfree.
01:29:06.000 But hey, thank you very much for the generous superchat.
01:29:08.000 I really appreciate it.
01:29:10.000 God bless.
01:29:11.000 As far as the critique of Tucker, I don't know that I totally agree because his... When he says he's against white identity, he says he's against it because he is against all identitarian politics.
01:29:25.000 He doesn't say that it's too divisive.
01:29:27.000 He says that he is a individualist.
01:29:31.000 So he supports that.
01:29:33.000 When you say that being against collective action is divisive because it divides everybody up into we're all going to be individuals fighting with each other, he wants that!
01:29:46.000 He's an individualist.
01:29:47.000 He doesn't believe in collectives.
01:29:49.000 So I think you're conflating some things there.
01:29:55.000 Excuse me.
01:29:55.000 There are other people that they say it's divisive, like that Nate Hockman guy and that Luca Cacciatore.
01:30:04.000 When I did a space with them, they said, oh well, you can't do white identity because it's going to turn off Hispanic voters.
01:30:12.000 Hispanic black Asian voters, but Tucker has never said that he said that he's against it because Identity erases the individual so he supports what you're saying insofar as Individualism is more divisive than collectivism like he's in favor of that.
01:30:29.000 So But anyway, I appreciate the super chat.
01:30:32.000 I agree with you.
01:30:33.000 He's just that's not his position.
01:30:34.000 I
01:30:35.000 Thank you!
01:30:35.000 I wasn't afraid.
01:30:36.000 I knew I was okay.
01:31:00.000 I honestly have no idea.
01:31:01.000 I don't know where those came from, and therefore I don't know what the intention was there.
01:31:06.000 I don't think it was to make him look bad.
01:31:09.000 In fact, maybe it was people sympathetic to him that leaked it?
01:31:14.000 Is that a crazy idea that people leaked it in order to make it, make him look better and say, oh he got fired for this?
01:31:21.000 Because I don't know how Fox, I don't know that Fox would, one, go about it in that way.
01:31:29.000 Because they got him by the balls.
01:31:30.000 I'm sure they got him on some kind of NDA, non-disparagement, something like that.
01:31:36.000 And by the same token, I don't know that anybody at Fox would think that would be a bad look for the people that support him.
01:31:42.000 So I just don't think that makes a lot of sense.
01:31:46.000 Harry Potter sent $5.
01:31:47.000 Hey Nick, heard about your wrist.
01:31:50.000 Reminds me when Gilderoy Lockhart incorrectly performed a Brachium Amendo spell on my wrist after a Quidditch match.
01:31:56.000 Howard's first 07.
01:31:57.000 Okay, that's terrible.
01:31:59.000 And I didn't say anything about my wrist by the way.
01:32:03.000 Pastrami Brothers sent $5.
01:32:05.000 If you didn't know, a lot of the Manosphere talk that Pearl Dushy got from Rollo.
01:32:09.000 She's very much inspired by him which is why she agreed with him so much.
01:32:13.000 Tate gets some stuff from him too.
01:32:15.000 TBH.
01:32:16.000 I could tell, yeah.
01:32:18.000 Because when Pearl agrees with somebody, she just, like, uses her ability as the moderator to kind of browbeat the other side.
01:32:25.000 Which is fine.
01:32:26.000 I mean, I don't... I could take that.
01:32:28.000 But it was interesting how unimpressive this guy is.
01:32:31.000 Because I've seen this guy on Twitter many times.
01:32:34.000 We're good to go.
01:32:51.000 Thoroughly unimpressed after that performance.
01:32:55.000 I remember going on there and thinking, oh boy, like, I don't know this guy.
01:32:59.000 I'm coming into this unprepared.
01:33:00.000 I better read up on him a little bit.
01:33:03.000 But I just watched the stream and I'm like, this guy sucks.
01:33:05.000 This guy's an idiot.
01:33:06.000 This guy's just like a Gen X bonehead.
01:33:10.000 Really?
01:33:11.000 He goes, oh, I'm a factual absolutist and a moral relativist.
01:33:15.000 It's like, okay, where'd you get that?
01:33:17.000 The Amazing Atheist?
01:33:18.000 Where'd you get that?
01:33:19.000 You think Christopher Hitchens is a genius?
01:33:22.000 Thoroughly unimpressed.
01:33:24.000 And so if he's coming up with the ideas, I mean that speaks to it.
01:33:28.000 For real.
01:33:30.000 What a joke.
01:33:31.000 With the beanie on.
01:33:32.000 Okay.
01:33:32.000 Pastrami Brother sent $5.
01:33:35.000 Also fun fact, remember the Jew Anthony Dream Johnson that tried to get into a FPAC and now elogues you after you rejected him?
01:33:42.000 He ducks Demasi's daughter and elogues him too.
01:33:44.000 Small world.
01:33:45.000 Same Jews.
01:33:46.000 Always the same Jews.
01:33:47.000 Yeah.
01:33:49.000 Is Rolo Jewish or no?
01:33:51.000 Because that's very important.
01:33:53.000 Because he got real triggered.
01:33:54.000 That was like the first thing he said.
01:33:55.000 He's like, what are you going to blame the Jews for everything?
01:33:58.000 And you didn't really hear me because people were talking over.
01:34:01.000 But I said, why?
01:34:02.000 Are you Jewish?
01:34:03.000 I said, are you Jewish?
01:34:06.000 Then that would explain it.
01:34:08.000 Because it's always these Jews that have this axe to grind against God.
01:34:14.000 And who want to
01:34:16.000 Introduce this relativistic thinking into a right-wing space.
01:34:21.000 He's Jewish?
01:34:22.000 He's a Jew?
01:34:23.000 No, he's not Jewish.
01:34:26.000 I think he is?
01:34:30.000 Beanie hides yarmulke.
01:34:31.000 Yep.
01:34:33.000 Possibly.
01:34:38.000 What do you think?
01:34:39.000 He is Jewish, I can tell.
01:34:41.000 Italian?
01:34:42.000 I think that's a fake name though.
01:34:47.000 Someone says, I blame Jews whenever something goes wrong in my life.
01:34:50.000 You wouldn't be far off.
01:34:52.000 You really, honestly, if you blame Jews for everything, you would, you would be wrong surprisingly little.
01:35:00.000 Okay?
01:35:01.000 If you, if that was like your bet, if no matter what happened to you, your bet was the Jews were at fault, it's a very safe bet.
01:35:08.000 If there was like one thing you could blame everything for,
01:35:13.000 Like, if I tripped and fell, or if I lost my job, or if I got in a car crash, there are not many things you could blame other than the Jews, which would have a very high rate of being positive.
01:35:28.000 The devil's up there, demons.
01:35:31.000 Um, you know, but what else is there?
01:35:32.000 Like, blame the government?
01:35:34.000 Like, not as high as Jews.
01:35:36.000 Not a, not as much of a hit rate as Jews.
01:35:39.000 Blame white people?
01:35:41.000 Again, not as much of a hit rate.
01:35:43.000 You blame your parents?
01:35:45.000 Still not gonna be as much of a hit rate.
01:35:47.000 Like, blaming, it would probably go something like blaming yourself, blaming the devil, blaming the Jews, in terms of, like, highest percentage of causing problems.
01:35:56.000 So it would go something like that not not that's not a perfect science, but it'd be something like that So it's honestly it's a safe guess It's a joke of hey kidding.
01:36:06.000 We're kidding of course That's just jokes We're playing with the concept you see how you see how a joke is for me see how I'm riffing we took a concept We exaggerated it in a way that is somewhat true, but exaggerated which is what makes it funny, and we're just kidding
01:36:26.000 Okay.
01:36:27.000 Before anybody gets all, he blames the Jews for everything.
01:36:30.000 Hey, I'm just kidding, alright?
01:36:32.000 Relax.
01:36:35.000 But that's usually my go-to.
01:36:37.000 If somebody's giving me a hard time, I'm like, wait a second, are you Jewish?
01:36:40.000 And if they're like, no, and I'm convinced, I'm like, oh, okay.
01:36:44.000 Anyway, I'll call you back later.
01:36:46.000 But if they are, I'm like, there it is!
01:36:48.000 There it is!
01:36:49.000 I'm like, guess what?
01:36:49.000 You know?
01:36:52.000 Guess what I just found out?
01:36:56.000 He's on the other team!
01:36:59.000 Anyway... Now, that's not a huge joke.
01:37:03.000 I mean, that is a little bit how I operate.
01:37:06.000 But it happens all the time, wouldn't you know it?
01:37:09.000 It happens all the time.
01:37:10.000 Nasunos says, carry on, comrade.
01:37:16.000 Well, what is comrade in Russian?
01:37:18.000 A buddy of mine told me this.
01:37:21.000 It's... What is it?
01:37:29.000 Somebody help me out.
01:37:29.000 What did the Soviets call each other in Russian?
01:37:34.000 It's comrade in Russian.
01:37:35.000 I forget.
01:37:35.000 They had a word for it.
01:37:36.000 Tovarish, yeah.
01:37:41.000 Yeah, that's acceptable.
01:37:42.000 Okay, comrade.
01:37:46.000 Otherwise, big problem for me.
01:37:48.000 Yeah, some say that's a big part of it.
01:37:49.000 So, I don't know how legitimate that is.
01:37:50.000 I feel like
01:38:17.000 When people say it's all one thing or it's all something else, it's never that simple.
01:38:21.000 But yeah, they do share a lot of the blame.
01:38:24.000 They stopped that in 2008.
01:38:25.000 After 2008, they put a lot of limitations on short selling for a time to prevent a big spiral.
01:38:32.000 General Zoomer sent $4.
01:38:34.000 Hey!
01:38:35.000 Glad you're feeling better smile.
01:38:37.000 Thanks!
01:38:39.000 Brandon sent $10.
01:38:41.000 What's your favorite meme of you?
01:38:42.000 I kind of like You Are Jewish.
01:38:44.000 That's kind of my favorite.
01:38:45.000 Because it's just so to the point.
01:38:48.000 I don't really have strong feelings on Princess Diana.
01:38:51.000 I'm not like a royal family nerd.
01:38:52.000 I believe she was probably killed, I do believe that, by the royal family.
01:39:11.000 It's very real.
01:39:12.000 It's one of the worst things.
01:39:14.000 It's a big pet peeve of mine.
01:39:15.000 Because we have this black dominant culture and there are these very subtle anti-white undertones in everything.
01:39:37.000 Like a buddy of mine the other day said something like, white boy this, or white boy that.
01:39:43.000 And I got kind of triggered.
01:39:44.000 I was like, don't fucking say that to me.
01:39:46.000 Do not say white boy.
01:39:48.000 And he was like, what?
01:39:49.000 Why?
01:39:50.000 And I'm like, because that is derogatory.
01:39:53.000 That is a diminutive, condescending thing that black people have come up with.
01:39:59.000 Because if you...try calling a black person boy.
01:40:03.000 Say, hey boy.
01:40:03.000 And what are they going to be?
01:40:05.000 Offended.
01:40:06.000 So when they say, oh shit, white boy can dance, or white boy this, that's a nasty... And it's subtle, and you could say it's a microaggression, but it's there.
01:40:19.000 And I just don't like to hear that.
01:40:21.000 I don't like white people repeating that.
01:40:24.000 Because it's like you've been colonized.
01:40:25.000 These people don't like you.
01:40:27.000 It's a black dominant culture.
01:40:31.000 And there's all this shade, there's all this subtext that's anti-white.
01:40:36.000 They're like, white people aren't cool, white people can't rap, they can't dance, they can't do this, they can't do that, they're nerdy.
01:40:42.000 And so we need to bring back our own culture and our own values, which means not talking with the
01:40:51.000 The African vernacular.
01:40:54.000 What is it?
01:40:55.000 African American vernacular English.
01:40:57.000 We can't talk with that.
01:40:58.000 I don't like the slang.
01:40:59.000 I don't like sup and all that sort of thing.
01:41:04.000 I don't like the street wear everywhere.
01:41:06.000 I think that we need to... We need to become proud again of who we are as whites and become proud of white things as opposed to
01:41:18.000 Nothing, you know, I got nothing against black people and I have nothing against their culture.
01:41:21.000 It's theirs, but their culture is clearly dominant and it being foisted on us is making us internalize and a lot of people are going to say, oh, well, that's like what black people say about white racism, but it's true.
01:41:35.000 They're like white boy thing.
01:41:36.000 Very pernicious in my opinion.
01:41:40.000 White boy.
01:41:40.000 I'm not a boy, okay?
01:41:43.000 That's first of all.
01:41:44.000 I'm a white man.
01:41:45.000 Or Hispanic or Italian, whatever you want to call it.
01:41:49.000 But when another man calls you a boy, oh yeah, white boy,
01:41:54.000 That's derogatory.
01:41:56.000 So I'm with you on that.
01:41:58.000 I don't like all that stuff.
01:42:00.000 It's like seeing these white kids doing the gritty.
01:42:02.000 It's like seeing these little white kids, they're like 8 years old, and they're doing all these dances, they're doing all these very urban TikTok sounds and TikTok dances.
01:42:12.000 And it's like, if that were my kid, I would beat the fuck out of him.
01:42:16.000 If I had a white son, if I had some white 12-year-old, 13-year-old son,
01:42:22.000 And he was going around like, hey gang gang, and doing the gang signs and doing that wigger shit, I would beat his fucking ass.
01:42:29.000 I swear.
01:42:29.000 And I would say, hey, why don't you act like a white man?
01:42:32.000 Why don't you act like your ancestors?
01:42:35.000 You know?
01:42:36.000 That's not who you are.
01:42:37.000 Anyway, maybe that's... I was thinking, that's very like, that's a very Italian attribute.
01:42:48.000 Like Italians are very sensitive to this.
01:42:50.000 Because Italians have their own culture.
01:42:52.000 Like, a lot of my mom's friends who are, like, part of the family, they're all Dago greaseballs.
01:42:58.000 And they literally are, like, in their own world.
01:43:00.000 They're, like, in a... People don't realize this.
01:43:03.000 In the same way that, like, Serbians and Albanians and Bosnians are very cliquish, maybe you don't even realize that either.
01:43:10.000 Chicago's very multi-ethnic.
01:43:12.000 I grew up around these Eastern Europeans and they're very cliquish.
01:43:17.000 I don't know.
01:43:47.000 All their gear says Italia on it.
01:43:49.000 They travel Italy all the time.
01:43:51.000 They make the gravy every year.
01:43:53.000 It's like a big thing.
01:43:54.000 They do a big wedding.
01:43:55.000 Like they're very, they're like a very strong ethnic identity.
01:44:01.000 So they're very contrary to the, to the Uyghur thing.
01:44:04.000 In a way that whites aren't because whites have no, well, I mean they don't, a lot of these American whites don't really have a strong cultural identity.
01:44:12.000 You go out into the, you go out into Iowa, you go out into Kansas,
01:44:18.000 What what music what what do they really got out there?
01:44:23.000 They got Walmart they got Burger King they go to they hang out at Target No hate, but it's what it is.
01:44:31.000 So what they get is the dominant American culture, which is this Negro black thing And again, I you know, I enjoy a lot of I enjoy the music but I'm a white guy enjoying black music I'm not a guy that thinks he's black or is like
01:44:47.000 You know, so we gotta retain a little bit of our heritage here and some of that stuff is just so out there.
01:44:56.000 I remember, you know, this trans person who came out recently, who we didn't know was involved, turned out to be intersex and then we fired him immediately.
01:45:06.000 He was always texting me, sup, sup, I'ma do this, I'ma do that, and every time I would say, listen you, listen up pal.
01:45:16.000 Don't tell me SUP like some ignorant, like some ignoramus.
01:45:21.000 SUP.
01:45:22.000 I'ma do this.
01:45:22.000 I'ma do that.
01:45:23.000 Don't fucking talk to me that way, okay?
01:45:25.000 Talk to me like an adult man.
01:45:27.000 Talk to me like, like I know you're capable of talking to me.
01:45:31.000 SUP.
01:45:32.000 That one word SUP.
01:45:35.000 I'ma do this.
01:45:36.000 I'ma do that.
01:45:36.000 I'ma, I'ma, what is this?
01:45:39.000 I'ma what?
01:45:40.000 I know your parents didn't raise you like that for crying out loud.
01:45:45.000 I mean, your parents are, like, supposed to be farmers, or, well, the gym teacher, actually, but, you know, maybe somewhere down the line you had farmers, peasants.
01:45:55.000 He didn't talk like that, despite their low stature.
01:45:59.000 So, for crying out loud, I'mma do this, I'mma do that, sup, sup.
01:46:05.000 And it's like, hey, that kind of thing?
01:46:07.000 Shut the fuck up.
01:46:09.000 I can't stand it.
01:46:10.000 White boy this, white boy... Seriously?
01:46:14.000 Maybe I'm just a little out there.
01:46:16.000 I think I'm a little more out there than most people.
01:46:38.000 I'm a little more hardcore.
01:46:39.000 I'm old school, okay?
01:46:40.000 My parents are old school.
01:46:41.000 I'm old school.
01:46:43.000 I was talking to my mom the other day and she said, and it's true, my parents had a business in the projects, in the heart of the projects in the South Loop in Chicago.
01:46:55.000 My grandmother grew up in the projects in Chicago.
01:46:59.000 So for generations, me and my ancestors have lived side by side with black people, and black people were their clientele and their neighbors for a long time.
01:47:12.000 So believe me, I mean, I just come from a different background than most white Americans.
01:47:18.000 Most white Americans don't come from that.
01:47:20.000 They don't really know that.
01:47:22.000 They don't really they don't have that blood memory.
01:47:25.000 They don't they don't have that experience And their grandparents and parents raising them with that in mind.
01:47:32.000 It's a different world my parents taught Mike my mom told me a story the other day my great uncle It was actually his business.
01:47:44.000 My great uncle was very wealthy and
01:47:47.000 The wealth did not trickle down.
01:47:48.000 He gave it to his wife, who's not in the family.
01:47:52.000 But my great-uncle, my grandmother's brother, he started up all these businesses and one of his businesses was they licensed people for concealed carry and they taught people proficiency in firearms, cops, bodyguards, stuff like that.
01:48:09.000 And my mom's gonna be mad at me for telling the story, but somebody said to my uncle, they said, hey, you know, you teach blank how to shoot guns.
01:48:20.000 And I think he was talking to some Democrat operative or some city government official, and he said, hey, maybe I teach blank how to shoot, or maybe I give them guns, you give them pens.
01:48:33.000 Which is to say, you give them power in the government, you made them bureaucrats.
01:48:39.000 I didn't tell the story very well because I only heard it the other day.
01:48:43.000 But my family had a lot of experiences.
01:48:46.000 Every kind of thing you can imagine.
01:48:48.000 I believe Larry Hoover Jr., my parents taught him how to shoot a gun.
01:48:55.000 And my parents had to participate in these kinds of programs where they had to support black businesses.
01:49:01.000 They would literally have to do ridiculous things, like they would find black people in the newspaper, they put out an ad, and they would have to literally go to a Best Buy, give a black guy a thousand bucks, and the black guy goes into Best Buy, buys a computer, and gives it to them.
01:49:17.000 That's the kind of stuff you have to do.
01:49:20.000 For these kinds of quotas and programs about supporting black businesses or whatever many many many stories like this And that was one of them is one of these guys was saying to my uncle.
01:49:32.000 Hey You give them guns and he goes.
01:49:34.000 Hey, maybe I give them guns, but you give them pants It's kind of funny Even though it's racist, of course deeply racist So But
01:49:50.000 Point being is that is just how it goes in this country and we've been living side-by-side.
01:49:58.000 I mean literally my ancestors have been living side-by-side with American blacks in these cities after the Great Migration for over a century.
01:50:07.000 So I think I know what I'm talking about here and maybe that's why I have a different attitude.
01:50:11.000 Because a lot of these guys who are assimilated, I mean they don't even know they're from
01:50:18.000 Tennessee they're from Kansas.
01:50:20.000 They're they're from Pennsylvania, and they don't know they're from the middle of nowhere So anyway But yeah, so that's my perspective If I had a son he was doing sup sup dad.
01:50:35.000 Hey, homie.
01:50:36.000 I'd be like Listen pal
01:50:42.000 And that's how, I mean, not so much my parents, because my parents are a little more woke than their friends, but my mom, she's got a good friend of hers, and his father, he passed, but he would leave these voice messages, like you wouldn't believe, on his son's phone, going on a rant about how... I can't even repeat some of these things.
01:51:07.000 The word mullinyan was used a lot, and
01:51:10.000 Anyway, now my family disavows all that.
01:51:12.000 My family's very woke and they have all the correct opinions, but that's like a very ethnic, old-world attribute, which I'm probably more connected to than your average white person, because American ethnics fought it out with every other group in the scrum in these cities.
01:51:30.000 A lot of these other people didn't, you know?
01:51:34.000 Italians in Chicago fought it out with all these different groups.
01:51:39.000 They were in the scrum with everybody else.
01:51:44.000 Different kind of country in Chicago, which is really a 20th century city with 20th century migration patterns and demographics than Eastern Seaboard or the Midwest or something.
01:51:58.000 Or the Pacific Northwest or the Southwest.
01:52:01.000 It's all fucking hippies out there in Colorado and Washington.
01:52:05.000 So, anyway.
01:52:08.000 Anyway!
01:52:09.000 Yeah, so no gritty.
01:52:13.000 No gritty, alright?
01:52:16.000 Remember, no gritty.
01:52:19.000 I don't know what to make of that.
01:52:28.000 I think it was the Ukrainians.
01:52:29.000 Some suggested it could be a Russian false flag, but yeah, it was absolutely amateur hour.
01:52:36.000 It seems most plausible to me that it was just desperate desperation, maybe freelancing from the Ukrainian armed forces, but who knows for sure.
01:52:47.000 Buggly Woogly sent $3.
01:52:50.000 I need you to promise me, to swear, you will never buy a porch.
01:52:53.000 Why?
01:52:54.000 What's the... What's the meme with the porch?
01:52:57.000 Unreturned Groyper sent $20.
01:52:59.000 Only God knows our fate, yours and mine.
01:53:02.000 Vladimir Putin.
01:53:03.000 Very profound.
01:53:05.000 Dimitomdra sent $3.
01:53:07.000 Have you ever been to a Blackhawks game?
01:53:10.000 No, I don't think so.
01:53:12.000 I've been to a Wolves game, but not a Blackhawks game.
01:53:17.000 I don't like the buzzer.
01:53:18.000 As a kid, the buzzer used to freak me out.
01:53:19.000 I went to a Wolves game with my father and they had to take me home early because the buzzer kept freaking me out.
01:53:25.000 You know, I'm a little autistic, okay?
01:53:27.000 I'm sensory overload and don't like being startled and so it's just not really a great environment for me, okay?
01:53:36.000 Mark sent $3.
01:53:37.000 Tomorrow is the three-year anniversary of launch of your monthly subscription to your website.
01:53:42.000 I was subscriber number 342.
01:53:45.000 I used to watch an older episode every day.
01:53:47.000 That bitch Megan Squire ruined everything.
01:53:50.000 Oh, don't give her the credit.
01:53:51.000 It wasn't that.
01:53:51.000 I got put on a list.
01:53:54.000 Megan Squire has been trying to get me canceled forever.
01:53:56.000 It wasn't her that finally broke through.
01:53:58.000 The Capitol happened and then I got banned from everything.
01:54:01.000 So, don't give that little witch the credit.
01:54:03.000 You know she'd love nothing more.
01:54:07.000 Well, I'm gonna be driving around in a car.
01:54:08.000 Tank is not really practical.
01:54:10.000 That thing is like...
01:54:37.000 You think $5 a gallon is bad in a convertible sports car?
01:54:41.000 Try doing it on a giant armored vehicle.
01:54:44.000 That's not really in the budget at the moment.
01:54:46.000 And probably not worth it.
01:54:48.000 I'll just be more careful.
01:54:49.000 I'll drive slower.
01:54:49.000 Not that it was my fault!
01:55:05.000 Doesn't hurt at all.
01:55:06.000 I don't know.
01:55:06.000 I mean it hurts a little bit certain movements like I'm a little stiff in some places but yeah, no generally no pain and it's funny because I go in there and I'm on I'm on the bed and she's like I'm gonna give you something for the pain.
01:55:21.000 I said, I don't want anything She said are you sure like you broke your bones and it's really bad and I said I said, I don't know I said I really don't want to take opiates and
01:55:32.000 I said, how about we start with Tylenol?
01:55:34.000 She goes, Tylenol?
01:55:36.000 I'm like, yeah, let's start with that, and if it's still bad, I'll take something else.
01:55:40.000 She goes, I was gonna put you on morphine.
01:55:42.000 I'm like, fuck no, I'm not taking morphine.
01:55:45.000 And they gave me Vicodin, I didn't take any of that.
01:55:48.000 They didn't give it, I mean, they prescribed it to me, I didn't even pick it up.
01:55:52.000 But, yeah, they throw me in the bed, and they're like, we're gonna put you on morphine.
01:55:56.000 I took two Tylenol, and I felt fine.
01:55:59.000 And she comes back and she's like, how are you feeling?
01:56:00.000 I'm like, I'm good.
01:56:01.000 She's like, no, really?
01:56:03.000 I'm like, really?
01:56:04.000 Really, bitch?
01:56:05.000 You know who you're talking to?
01:56:07.000 I'm the one who knocks, bitch!
01:56:09.000 Classic Coke!
01:56:11.000 You ate my product at every turn!
01:56:14.000 Now you can sell the real thing, bitch!
01:56:18.000 That's what I said to her.
01:56:22.000 She came in, she's like, really?
01:56:25.000 I'm like, I am the one who knocks!
01:56:27.000 Classic Coke, bitch!
01:56:29.000 You ate my product at every turn!
01:56:35.000 And then she was like, okay, here's the Tylenol.
01:56:38.000 Here's your Tylenol and your discharge papers.
01:56:40.000 I was like, thanks.
01:56:41.000 But you know, here's the thing.
01:56:42.000 Here's why I don't trust doctors.
01:56:44.000 Because there were like four doctors and they all told me something different.
01:56:47.000 The first doctor comes in, and that's the doctor I just said, and she's like, you need morphine, you need opiates, and surgery.
01:56:55.000 And I was like, well, I don't know about all that.
01:56:58.000 Then the orthopedic doctor came in with a pride flag lapel.
01:57:04.000 And she comes in and says, uh, you're definitely going to need surgery.
01:57:08.000 But, you know, you might be fine with no opiates.
01:57:10.000 I was like, okay.
01:57:12.000 Then another, the lead orthopedic guy comes in and says, yeah, you don't need surgery at all.
01:57:17.000 You're fine.
01:57:18.000 He goes, and a Tylenol, that should be fine.
01:57:23.000 And then the other lady comes back and she's like, you're definitely going to want one.
01:57:26.000 And I'm like, okay, so this isn't scientific.
01:57:29.000 So I looked it up.
01:57:30.000 I did a little Google doctor.
01:57:34.000 I went online and I looked up all my injuries and I came to my own conclusion.
01:57:40.000 And I went to the follow-up and the doctor told me everything that I deduced from my own research.
01:57:45.000 But, I mean, you would say that to one of these doctors and they would turn up their nose at you.
01:57:50.000 Well, I looked online and I don't, you know, and I don't think I need all that.
01:57:55.000 And they go, where'd you read that?
01:57:57.000 Online?
01:57:58.000 I'm a doctor.
01:57:59.000 Yeah, none of you fucking agree.
01:58:01.000 So is it really a science?
01:58:04.000 According to the science, if it's scientific, then why don't you get out your instruments and why don't you look at the chart of the human body and tell me with a consensus and a straight answer what's going wrong.
01:58:17.000 But instead, they come in and tell me opposite things!
01:58:21.000 Okay, so clearly it's up for debate.
01:58:27.000 Anyway, so now the follow-up doctor, he was kind of red-pilled.
01:58:33.000 Cause he's like, what do you do?
01:58:34.000 I'm like, I'm a live streamer.
01:58:35.000 And he's like, oh, I watch Glenn Greenwald and Joe Rogan.
01:58:38.000 I'm like, oh, that's not bad.
01:58:41.000 I said, I'm a gamer on Twitch.
01:58:42.000 I don't know what you're talking about.
01:58:44.000 Glenn Greenwald?
01:58:47.000 Who's that?
01:58:47.000 Does he play Fortnite?
01:58:48.000 I'm on Twitch.
01:58:49.000 I play Phasmophobia.
01:58:52.000 Anyway, um, so I don't know.
01:58:54.000 I don't trust these doctors.
01:58:56.000 They're always trying to sell you on
01:58:59.000 Pain killers and surgery.
01:59:00.000 I'm just not about that.
01:59:01.000 I believe in the healing power of the human body and of nutrition.
01:59:06.000 I don't believe in these interventions.
01:59:08.000 They want to cut you apart for any little thing.
01:59:12.000 Wisdom teeth, broken bone, whatever.
01:59:17.000 They're like, well, we'll do a surgery just to be safe.
01:59:19.000 Well, I don't think that's necessary.
01:59:23.000 So.
01:59:27.000 Anyway.
01:59:30.000 Some doctors I like.
01:59:35.000 Pretty underscore fly underscore white underscore guy sent $3.
01:59:40.000 Thanks for the show.
01:59:41.000 Hey, thank you!
01:59:43.000 Totenkopf88 sent $3.
01:59:45.000 I crashed my car into a tree in February.
01:59:48.000 Would highly recommend getting into car crashes.
01:59:51.000 It's based, like extreme bumper cars.
01:59:54.000 Good times totally worth the bills.
01:59:55.000 Drink alcohol for a better BTW.
01:59:59.000 I don't know if I agree with that aspect of it.
02:00:03.000 It's not based, it sucks.
02:00:05.000 Okay, it definitely... Don't get me wrong, it was a little thrilling when it happened, because I knew I was screwed.
02:00:11.000 I mean, like, I swerved out of the way.
02:00:13.000 It would have been worse if I kept going.
02:00:16.000 So I swerved, and like, cars are coming at me.
02:00:19.000 I'm like, I was like, oh, oh no!
02:00:24.000 And I was like, boom!
02:00:25.000 And I was like, ugh!
02:00:27.000 And I was like, boom!
02:00:28.000 And I was like, ugh!
02:00:30.000 Huh, okay.
02:00:31.000 Then I picked up my phone, put my hat on, got out of the car.
02:00:33.000 I was like, damn, that hurt.
02:00:37.000 People are like, are you okay?
02:00:38.000 I'm like, I think so.
02:00:39.000 All these bystanders came rushing by and this one woman hugs me and I'm like, ow!
02:00:46.000 Ow, ow, ow, please stop.
02:00:48.000 She's like, sorry.
02:00:52.000 But I lived, bitch.
02:00:55.000 Because that's the kind of intensity that I bring, okay?
02:00:58.000 That's the intensity you send a semi-truck to blow up my car and I come back on the show without a cast or whatever device some implement.
02:01:10.000 Because that... I'm intense!
02:01:12.000 I bring intensity to the table.
02:01:14.000 I walk away, no painkillers, no nothing.
02:01:16.000 Give me a Tylenol.
02:01:18.000 Punch me in the face!
02:01:20.000 I am the one who knocks!
02:01:21.000 Classic Coke!
02:01:23.000 You already ate my product at every turn!
02:01:28.000 And we're done when I say we're done.
02:01:32.000 I am so far beyond you!
02:01:34.000 Okay, anyway... Anyway, so... So no, I don't recommend it.
02:01:43.000 Very risky.
02:01:44.000 Probably could have died.
02:01:46.000 Was blessed and lucky.
02:01:47.000 And I still have work to do on Earth, apparently.
02:01:52.000 No, I didn't see that.
02:01:52.000 No way.
02:01:53.000 The May 4th Fortnite update looks sick AF.
02:01:55.000 So I definitely gotta play it at some point.
02:01:56.000 I think I could do a controller.
02:01:57.000 I don't know.
02:02:18.000 I don't know.
02:02:22.000 I'm not as manipulative.
02:02:26.000 I'm not very good at manipulating people.
02:02:28.000 I mean, I'm a good talker, and what I like about him is that he's creative.
02:02:34.000 I like that he's got creative solutions, and he's very smart and hardworking, even though he bends the rules and he's unconventional.
02:02:45.000 He's very creative.
02:02:47.000 And works hard for these kinds of schemes.
02:02:50.000 Like, I love a good plan.
02:02:53.000 I love a good scheme.
02:02:54.000 I love a good puzzle, you know?
02:02:57.000 I love when a plan comes together.
02:02:58.000 And he's a good improviser.
02:03:00.000 He's unflappable.
02:03:01.000 Supreme confidence.
02:03:04.000 He's funny.
02:03:04.000 You know, so I like all those attributes.
02:03:06.000 Very, uh... He's a great character.
02:03:08.000 I mean, Bob Odenkirk does a great job.
02:03:10.000 He's from around here.
02:03:12.000 He's from Chicago.
02:03:13.000 From Naperville, technically.
02:03:15.000 Born in Berwyn.
02:03:17.000 Ian sent $11.
02:03:19.000 Praying for you and our Christian future.
02:03:21.000 Build the kingdom of God.
02:03:22.000 Thank you very much, man.
02:03:24.000 I appreciate it.
02:03:25.000 We're trying.
02:03:25.000 We're building it out here.
02:03:27.000 Farid Lukovic sent $10.
02:03:29.000 Great show, Nick.
02:03:30.000 Do you also get the feeling that the Andrew Tate era is kind of dying?
02:03:34.000 It just doesn't have the same kind of fire behind it like in 2022.
02:03:38.000 Think Andrew can turn it around?
02:03:42.000 It's tough to say about these things because of course any, any mania is passing.
02:03:48.000 Trump mania is passing, Beatle mania, whatever you want to say, PewDiePie, Mr. Beast, all these, nobody can stay surging forever.
02:04:01.000 Eventually you plateau or you fall.
02:04:03.000 It's just natural.
02:04:04.000 So
02:04:06.000 The level of notoriety that he was at last year, it just doesn't last forever.
02:04:11.000 It may last longer or shorter, but it has an expiration date because eventually you run out of... It's not novel anymore.
02:04:17.000 It's not new.
02:04:18.000 So then you become more like an institution.
02:04:20.000 Then you become more like... You become significant in yourself.
02:04:29.000 Not because you're new and fresh and different, but because you were the guy that did that.
02:04:34.000 I don't know.
02:04:57.000 But it's certainly not like it was last year.
02:04:59.000 Last year, it had this almost unexplainable ascendancy.
02:05:05.000 Like, it had this effect of coming out of nowhere and being totally unexplainable and really coming from TikTok, where maybe nobody had ever really come from that place like before.
02:05:17.000 And a year has passed since then.
02:05:21.000 That's just attrition.
02:05:22.000 That's just your...
02:05:24.000 You know.
02:05:26.000 That's just your natural attrition over time.
02:05:29.000 So... But I still think he's quite relevant.
02:05:34.000 That's not a surprise.
02:05:35.000 You know how that goes.
02:05:35.000 He's not right-wing.
02:05:36.000 He's not Christian.
02:05:37.000 True.
02:05:54.000 What do you mean, show ear?
02:06:05.000 Like this?
02:06:05.000 What do you mean?
02:06:08.000 I don't think I have the truck driver's information yet.
02:06:12.000 Or anything like that.
02:06:12.000 I'm not gonna dox anybody.
02:06:14.000 He was black, so I think he's clear.
02:06:18.000 It wasn't like some moving company, like Israeli moving company deal.
02:06:23.000 So... I think he's clean.
02:06:27.000 He's black.
02:06:28.000 He's clean.
02:06:28.000 David Wright sent $3.

02:07:19.000 Anyway, may the 4th be with you.
02:07:21.000 Yeah, likewise.

02:07:43.000 Yeah, I already covered that tonight.
02:07:46.000 Okay.
