00:00:03.000 I was screaming at the river weed just like mine Looking for a bright place, seeking what your life like Riding on a white bike, smelling like a tight bike Pressing on a gas, never know before the night like Screaming at my dad and he told me it ain't Christ like But nobody never tell you you need to be in Christ Christ Only you for seeing me, only with a style of parry, painting, dreams, beating, beating,

00:00:56.000 I don't really wanna rest So Spanish for the life like everything in my life Fucking with my dad and he said it ain't Christ like America first is inevitable, ever unstoppable It's not cool to shill for big business. 0.98

00:01:16.000 It's not cool to shill for Israel. 0.98

00:01:20.000 It's not.

00:01:24.000 This is a Christian nation. 0.99

00:01:27.000 This is America.

00:01:33.000 I fear and love God.

00:01:36.000 When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear.

00:01:41.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:01:43.000 You are watching America First.

00:01:44.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:01:46.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:01:48.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday.

00:01:53.000 We have a pretty eventful show tonight.

00:01:56.000 Tonight, we are covering Joe Biden's address to the joint session of Congress.

00:02:04.000 And it looks like it's just actually about to get started.

00:02:07.000 So, perfect timing.

00:02:11.000 So, tonight, as you know, Joe Biden is.

00:02:15.000 What this is, is like the first year State of the Union.

00:02:20.000 You know, the president comes in, gives an inaugural address, and then it's not technically a State of the Union speech, the first one of a president's term.

00:02:30.000 First year president does a joint session of Congress address, which is like the same thing, but not technically.

00:02:38.000 And then obviously every successive year, then it's a State of the Union.

00:02:41.000 So that's what this is it's like his first State of the Union speech, it's a speech to both the House and the Senate.

00:02:49.000 And we'll see.

00:02:50.000 I thought that it wasn't starting yet because all the seats were empty, but I realized that's probably a COVID thing.

00:02:58.000 That's probably a COVID regulation.

00:03:00.000 Because you see, there's like nobody in there.

00:03:02.000 It's as loud as it goes, by the way.

00:03:05.000 I know my microphone is louder, but that's as loud as it goes.

00:03:09.000 So don't tell me it's not loud enough.

00:03:11.000 There you see the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and now approaching the history at the dais is Vice President Kamala Harris, the Speaker of the House.

00:03:24.000 And he's expected to make mention of this history.

00:03:29.000 How could you not?

00:03:33.000 Put it on full display right there behind him.

00:03:40.000 They're saying it's history because you have two women behind the dais for the first time ever because it's a female Vice President and a female Speaker.

00:03:48.000 Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct. honor to present to you the President of the United States.

00:03:59.000 Fake, fake President.

00:04:13.000 Thank you.

00:04:17.000 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:04:18.000 Look at this, we go.

00:04:22.000 Good to be back.

00:04:31.000 Mitch and Chuck will understand it's good to be almost home.

00:04:35.000 Down the hall.

00:04:36.000 Anyway, thank you all.

00:04:37.000 Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President.

00:04:41.000 Excuse me. 1.00

00:04:44.000 Oh, shut up. 0.98

00:04:46.000 No president has ever said those words from this podium. 1.00

00:04:51.000 No president has ever said those words.

00:04:54.000 And it's about time.

00:04:59.000 Our country is such a joke, isn't it?

00:05:09.000 First Lady, I'm her husband.

00:05:16.000 Second Gentleman, Chief Justice.

00:05:21.000 Look at this joke.

00:05:23.000 What a joke we are.

00:05:24.000 Members of the United States Congress and the Cabinet, distinguished guests, my fellow Americans, while the setting tonight is familiar, this gathering is just a little bit different.

00:05:39.000 A reminder of the extraordinary times we're in.

00:05:42.000 Throughout our history, presidents have come to this chamber to speak to Congress, to the nation, and to the world, to declare war, to celebrate peace, to announce new plans and possibilities.

00:05:58.000 Tonight, I come to talk about crisis and opportunity, about rebuilding the nation, revitalizing our democracy, and winning the future for America.

00:06:12.000 I stand here tonight, one day shy of the 100th day of my administration.

00:06:19.000 100 days since I took the oath of office and lifted my hand off our family Bible and inherited a nation, we all did, that was in crisis.

00:06:30.000 The worst pandemic in a century.

00:06:33.000 The worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

00:06:36.000 The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.

00:06:41.000 Now, after just 100 days, I report to the nation.

00:06:47.000 America is on the move again.

00:06:54.000 And so is it, though.

00:06:58.000 In what way?

00:06:59.000 Turning parallel to possibility, crisis to opportunity, setbacks into strength.

00:07:09.000 We all know life can knock us down, but in America, we never, ever, ever stay down.

00:07:18.000 Americans always get up.

00:07:20.000 Today, that's what we're doing.

00:07:22.000 America's rising anew, choosing hope over fear, truth over lies, and light over darkness.

00:07:30.000 After 100 days of rescue and renewal, America's ready for a takeoff, in my view. 0.98

00:07:30.000 Oh, shut up. 0.98

00:07:37.000 We're working again, dreaming again, discovering again, and leading the world again. 0.99

00:07:45.000 In what way?

00:07:46.000 Again, in what way?

00:07:47.000 What are you talking about?

00:07:48.000 That there's no quit in America.

00:07:51.000 None.

00:07:53.000 100 days ago, America's house was on fire.

00:07:58.000 We had to act.

00:08:00.000 And thanks to the extraordinary leadership of Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, and the overwhelming support of the American people, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, we did act.

00:08:13.000 Together we passed the American Rescue Plan, one of the most consequential rescue packages in American history.

00:08:21.000 We're already seeing the results.

00:08:29.000 We're already seeing the results.

00:08:35.000 After I promised we'd get 100 million COVID 19 vaccine shots into people's arms in 100 days, we will have provided over 220 million COVID shots in those 100 days.

00:08:48.000 Thanks to all the help of all of you.

00:08:54.000 We're marshaling, with your help, everyone's help, we're marshaling every federal resource.

00:09:02.000 We've gotten vaccines in nearly 40,000 pharmacies and over 700 community health centers where the poorest of the poor can be reached.

00:09:13.000 We're setting up community vaccination sites, developing mobile units to get to hard to reach communities.

00:09:21.000 Today, 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site.

00:09:28.000 Everyone over the age of 16 is now eligible to get vaccinated.

00:09:36.000 Right now, right away.

00:09:38.000 Go get vaccinated, America.

00:09:41.000 No.

00:09:42.000 Go and get the vaccination.

00:09:44.000 No.

00:09:45.000 No.

00:09:47.000 Look at this freak show.

00:09:48.000 Oh, come on now. 1.00

00:09:50.000 Good trouble she's got on her mask. 1.00

00:09:52.000 First, you get the freak with the purple hair, and then you get good trouble.

00:09:55.000 On February 20th, less than 1% of the seniors in America are fully vaccinated against COVID 19.

00:10:01.000 100 days later, 70% of seniors in America over 65 are protected, fully protected.

00:10:09.000 Senior deaths from COVID-19 are down 80% since January.

00:10:15.000 Down 80% because of all of you. 0.99

00:10:18.000 And more than half of all the adults in America have gotten at least one shot.

00:10:24.000 A mass vaccination center in Glendale, Arizona, I asked the nurse, I said, what's it like?

00:10:34.000 She looked at me and she said, it's like every shot is giving a dose of hope.

00:10:42.000 Oh my gosh.

00:10:43.000 Oh my gosh.

00:10:45.000 How dystopian is this?

00:10:48.000 Every vaccination I give out is like a dose of that.

00:10:53.000 Really?

00:10:54.000 She said she then got vaccinated at a large site in her car.

00:10:59.000 She said she sat in her car when she got vaccinated and just cried.

00:11:03.000 Cried out of joy and cried out of relief.

00:11:07.000 People are getting vaccinated and crying.

00:11:09.000 Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces for those who are able to go back to school.

00:11:13.000 Because the teachers and school bus drivers and cafeteria workers have been vaccinated.

00:11:19.000 Grandparents hugging their children and grandchildren instead of pressing hands against a window.

00:11:24.000 You did that, but you did that, though.

00:11:28.000 They act as though it wasn't inflicted by the government.

00:11:30.000 Those things mean everything.

00:11:33.000 You know, there's still, you all know it, you know it better than any group of Americans.

00:11:38.000 There's still more work to do to beat this virus.

00:11:41.000 What did I tell you?

00:11:42.000 What did I tell you?

00:11:42.000 I'm putting my guard down.

00:11:44.000 But tonight, I can say to.

00:11:48.000 Because of you, the American people, our progress these past 100 days against one of the worst pandemics in history has been one of the greatest logistical achievements, logistical achievements this country's ever seen.

00:12:06.000 What else have we done in those first 100 days?

00:12:10.000 We kept our commitment, Democrats and Republicans, of sending $1,400 rescue checks to 85% of American households.

00:12:20.000 We're already sent more than 160 million checks out the door.

00:12:24.000 We're supposed to be 2,000.

00:12:26.000 It's making a difference.

00:12:27.000 And I've got none of it.

00:12:29.000 I've got none.

00:12:30.000 For many people, it's making all the difference in the world.

00:12:35.000 A single mom in Texas who wrote me, she said she couldn't work.

00:12:41.000 But she said the relief check put food on the table and saved her and her son from eviction from their apartment.

00:12:50.000 A grandmother in Virginia who told me she immediately took her granddaughter to the eye doctor.

00:12:58.000 Something she said she put off for months because she didn't have the money.

00:13:02.000 One of the defining images, at least from my perspective in this crisis, has been cars lined up.

00:13:10.000 Cars lined up for miles.

00:13:14.000 And not people just barely able to start those cars, nice cars.

00:13:19.000 Lined up for miles, waiting for a box of food to be put in their trunk.

00:13:26.000 I don't know about you, but I didn't ever think I'd see that in America.

00:13:31.000 And all of this is through no fault of their own.

00:13:37.000 No fault of their own, these people are in this position.

00:13:40.000 Yeah, it's your fault.

00:13:42.000 That's why the rescue plan is delivering food and resources to millions of Americans facing hunger.

00:13:49.000 And hunger is down sharply already.

00:13:52.000 We're also providing rental assistance.

00:13:54.000 You all know this, but the American people, I want to make sure they understand.

00:13:58.000 Keeping people from being evicted from their homes.

00:14:02.000 providing loans to small businesses that reopen and keep their employees on the job.

00:14:08.000 During these 100 days, an additional 800,000 Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act when I established a special sign-up period to do that.

00:14:17.000 800,000 in that period.

00:14:21.000 We're making one of the largest one-time ever investments, ever, in improving health care for veterans.

00:14:29.000 Critical investments to address the opioid crisis.

00:14:33.000 And maybe most importantly, let me pull up my nose real quick.

00:14:36.000 I'll be back once.

00:14:37.000 We're on track to cut child poverty in America in half this year.

00:14:57.000 And in the process, while this was all going on, the economy created more than 1,300,000 new jobs in 100 days.

00:15:09.000 More jobs in the first.

00:15:14.000 More jobs in the first 100 days than any president on record.

00:15:19.000 Yeah, that's because they crashed the economy. 1.00

00:15:21.000 Look at this stupid bitch in the back. 1.00

00:15:27.000 Really? 1.00

00:15:28.000 They crashed the economy.

00:15:30.000 They open it up.

00:15:32.000 There's no more jobs than ever before.

00:15:34.000 More than 6% this year.

00:15:37.000 That'll be the fastest pace of economic growth in this country in nearly four decades.

00:15:42.000 America's moving, moving forward.

00:15:46.000 But we can't stop now.

00:15:49.000 We're in competition with China and other countries to win the 21st century.

00:15:55.000 We're at a great inflection point in history.

00:15:58.000 We have to do more than just build back better.

00:16:01.000 To build back, we have to build back better.

00:16:03.000 We have to compete more seriously than we have.

00:16:06.000 We'll build back.

00:16:08.000 Throughout our history, if you think about it, public investment in infrastructure has literally transformed America.

00:16:17.000 Our attitudes as well as our opportunities.

00:16:20.000 The Transcontinental Railroad, the Interstate Highways, united two oceans and brought a totally new age of progress to the United States of America.

00:16:31.000 Universal public schools and college aid.

00:16:34.000 Open wide the doors of opportunity.

00:16:36.000 Scientific breakthroughs took us to the moon.

00:16:39.000 Now we're on Mars discovering vaccines, gave us the internet.

00:16:42.000 We're on Mars discovering vaccines.

00:16:45.000 These are investments we made together as one country, and investments that only the government was in a position to make.

00:16:54.000 Time and again, they propel us into the future.

00:16:59.000 That's why I propose the American Jobs Plan, a once in a generation investment in America itself.

00:17:06.000 This is the largest jobs plan since World War II.

00:17:11.000 Creates jobs to upgrade our transportation infrastructure.

00:17:16.000 Jobs modernizing our roads, bridges, highways.

00:17:21.000 Jobs building ports and airports, rail corridors, transit lines.

00:17:26.000 That's not actually what they allocate the money to do, though.

00:17:29.000 We covered this.

00:17:30.000 Up to 10 million homes in America and more than 400,000 schools and child care centers.

00:17:38.000 Have pipes with lead in them, including drinking water.

00:17:42.000 A clear and present danger to our children's health.

00:17:47.000 Oh, now they can drop the plant.

00:17:48.000 The new technology creates jobs replacing 100% of the nation's lead pipes and service lines so every American can drink clean water. 1.00

00:18:01.000 Really, nigga? 1.00

00:18:03.000 It's the lead pipes that are the problem, right? 1.00

00:18:05.000 It's not the birth control, it's not the fluoride.

00:18:07.000 If we do this successfully, we'll create thousands and thousands of good paying jobs.

00:18:13.000 It creates jobs connecting every American with high speed internet, including 35% of the rural America that still doesn't have it.

00:18:24.000 This is going to help our kids and our businesses succeed in the 21st century economy.

00:18:30.000 And I'm asking the Vice President to lead this effort if she would.

00:18:35.000 Because I know it will get done. 0.97

00:18:36.000 It creates jobs building a modern power grid.

00:18:44.000 Our grids are vulnerable to storms, hacks, catastrophic failures with tight, tragic results, as we saw in Texas and elsewhere during the winter storms.

00:18:56.000 Oh, no.

00:19:02.000 The American Jobs Plan will help millions of people get back to their jobs and back to their careers. 0.99

00:19:23.000 Two million women have dropped out of the workforce during this pandemic.

00:19:27.000 Two million. 0.99

00:19:30.000 And too often because they couldn't get the care they needed to care for their child or care for an elderly parent who needs help.

00:19:43.000 800,000 families are on the Medicare waiting list right now to get home care for their aging parent or loved one with disability.

00:19:54.000 If you think it's not important, check out in your own district, Democrat or Republican.

00:20:01.000 Democrat or Republican voters.

00:20:04.000 They're great concerns, almost as much as we want to take care of an elderly loved one who can't be left alone.

00:20:14.000 Medicaid contemplated it, but this plan is going to help those families and create jobs for our caregivers with better wages and better benefits, continuing the cycle of growth.

00:20:27.000 For too long, we've failed to use the most important word.

00:20:31.000 When it comes to meeting the climate crisis, jobs.

00:20:36.000 Jobs.

00:20:38.000 Jobs.

00:20:40.000 Really?

00:20:41.000 But he killed the Keystone Pipeline.

00:20:43.000 Now it's like the first thing, the first thing that he did was kill the Keystone Pipeline, which cost like what, 12, 16,000 jobs?

00:20:51.000 For me, when I think climate change, I think jobs.

00:20:57.000 American Jobs Plan will put engineers and construction workers to work building more energy efficient buildings and homes.

00:21:04.000 Electrical workers, IBEW members installing 500,000 charging stations along our highways so we can own the electric car market.

00:21:18.000 Farmers, farmers planting cover crops so they can reduce the carbon dioxide in the air and get paid for doing it.

00:21:27.000 Look, think about it.

00:21:32.000 There is simply no reason why the blades for wind turbines can't be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing.

00:21:38.000 No reason.

00:21:41.000 None.

00:21:43.000 No reason.

00:21:47.000 So folks, there's no reason why American workers can't lead the world in the production of electric vehicles and batteries.

00:21:59.000 I mean, there is no reason.

00:22:00.000 We have this capacity.

00:22:05.000 We're the brightest, best trained people in the world.

00:22:08.000 The American Jobs Plan is going to create millions of good paying jobs, jobs Americans can raise a family on.

00:22:14.000 As my dad would then say, with a little breathing room.

00:22:18.000 And all the investments in the American Jobs Plan will be guided by one principle buy American.

00:22:25.000 Buy American.

00:22:28.000 So that's what Trump said, right? 0.93

00:22:30.000 Buy American, hire American.

00:22:32.000 That's literally the Trump slogan.

00:22:36.000 But the problem is, in this case, all the money is coming from government investments.

00:22:40.000 Buy American.

00:22:43.000 American tax dollars are going to be used to buy American products made in America.

00:22:49.000 See, that's it.

00:22:49.000 The government investments coming from the government.

00:22:52.000 That's the way it's supposed to be, and it will be in this administration.

00:22:56.000 Trump was buy American, hire American, it was private investment.

00:22:59.000 This is, we're going to tax you 40% on capital gains, tax you 40% on income.

00:23:04.000 And then use that money to buy American.

00:23:07.000 And then use that money to buy American.

00:23:09.000 Which means Solyndra.

00:23:13.000 It will be American products.

00:23:15.000 Now, I know some of you at home are wondering whether these jobs are for you.

00:23:23.000 So many of you, so many of the folks I grew up with, feel left behind, forgotten, in an economy that's so rapidly changing.

00:23:33.000 It's frightening.

00:23:34.000 I want to speak directly to you because you think about it.

00:23:40.000 That's what people are most worried about.

00:23:42.000 Can I fit in?

00:23:44.000 Independent experts estimate the American Jobs Plan will add millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to economic growth in the years to come.

00:23:53.000 It is an eight year program.

00:23:57.000 These are good paying jobs that can't be outsourced.

00:24:00.000 Nearly 90% of the infrastructure jobs created in the American Jobs Plan do not require a college degree.

00:24:07.000 75% don't require an associate's degree.

00:24:12.000 The American Jobs Plan is a blue collar blueprint to build America. 0.81

00:24:17.000 That's what it is. 0.84

00:24:25.000 And it recognizes something I've always said in this chamber and the other.

00:24:33.000 Good guys and women on Wall Street, but Wall Street didn't build this country.

00:24:36.000 The middle class built the country, and unions built the middle class.

00:24:44.000 So that's why I'm calling on Congress to pass the Protect the Right to Organize Act, the PRO Act, and send it to my desk so we can support.

00:24:55.000 The right to unionize.

00:25:01.000 That's delusional.

00:25:01.000 And by the way, while you're thinking about sending things to my desk, let's raise the minimum wage to $15.

00:25:11.000 No one, no one working 40 hours a week, no one working 40 hours a week should live below the poverty line. 1.00

00:25:28.000 We need to ensure greater equity and opportunity for women. 0.99

00:25:30.000 And while we're doing this, let's get the Paycheck Fairness Act to my desk as well, equal pay.

00:25:35.000 It's been much too long.

00:25:37.000 Wow.

00:25:37.000 And if you wonder whether it's too long, look behind me.

00:25:43.000 We're in for really tough to wait years.

00:25:45.000 American jobs plan will be the biggest increase in non defense research and development on record.

00:25:52.000 We'll see more technological change.

00:25:55.000 And some of you know more about this than I do.

00:25:58.000 We'll see more technological change in the next 10 years than we saw in the last 50.

00:26:03.000 That's how rapidly artificial intelligence and so much more is changing.

00:26:10.000 They've been saying that forever, though, to be fair.

00:26:12.000 And we're falling behind the competition with the rest of the world.

00:26:16.000 Decades ago, we used to invest 2% of our gross domestic product in America, 2% of our gross domestic product in research and development.

00:26:27.000 Today, Mr. Secretary, that's less.

00:26:31.000 Than 1%.

00:26:33.000 China and other countries are closing in fast.

00:26:37.000 We have to develop and dominate the products and technologies of the future.

00:26:43.000 Advanced batteries, biotechnology, computer chips, clean energy.

00:26:51.000 The Secretary of Defense can tell you, and those of you who work on NASA security issues know, the Defense Department has an agency called DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency.

00:27:07.000 The people who set up before I came here, and that's been a long time ago, to develop breakthroughs that enhance our national security.

00:27:16.000 That's their only job.

00:27:18.000 And it's a semi separate agency, it's under the Defense Department.

00:27:24.000 It's led to everything from the discovery of the Internet to GPS and so much more that's enhanced our security.

00:27:34.000 The National Institute of Health, the NIH, I believe, should create.

00:27:40.000 A similar advanced research projects agency for health.

00:27:47.000 And now, here's what it would do it would have a singular purpose to develop breakthroughs to prevent, detect, and treat diseases like Alzheimer's, diabetes, and cancer.

00:28:03.000 I'll still never forget when we passed the cancer proposal in the last year as vice president.

00:28:11.000 Almost $9 million going to NIH.

00:28:13.000 And they've excused the point of personal privilege, and I forget you standing, Mitch, and saying, Name it after my deceased son.

00:28:23.000 It meant a lot.

00:28:25.000 But so many of us have deceased sons, daughters, and relatives who died of cancer.

00:28:33.000 I can think of no more worthy investment.

00:28:37.000 I know of nothing that is more bipartisan.

00:28:43.000 So let's end cancer as we know it.

00:28:45.000 It's within our power.

00:28:47.000 It's within our power to do it.

00:28:50.000 That's a smart appeal.

00:28:51.000 Because everyone can get behind that, obviously.

00:28:56.000 I have to say, this is a good speech.

00:28:58.000 You know, he's very sharp, which is different, because he's even sharper, I think, than in his inauguration speech and during the debates.

00:29:08.000 He's pretty sharp.

00:29:09.000 Got to give credit where it's due.

00:29:10.000 I don't know how they did it.

00:29:13.000 He's on his game, and his speech is well written.

00:29:15.000 And I applaud a group of Republican senators who just put forward their own proposal.

00:29:19.000 So let's get to work.

00:29:21.000 I wanted to lay out before the Congress my plan before we got into the deep discussions.

00:29:30.000 I like to meet with those who have ideas that are different.

00:29:35.000 They think are better.

00:29:36.000 I welcome those ideas.

00:29:38.000 But the rest of the world is not waiting for us.

00:29:42.000 I just want to be clear.

00:29:44.000 From my perspective, doing nothing is not an option.

00:29:55.000 Look, we can't be so busy competing with one another that we forget the competition that we have with the rest of the world to win the 21st century.

00:30:10.000 Secretary Blinken can tell you I spent a lot of time with President Xi.

00:30:16.000 Traveled over 17,000 miles with him.

00:30:20.000 Spent, they tell me, over 24 hours in private discussions with him.

00:30:25.000 When he called to congratulate him, we had a two hour discussion.

00:30:29.000 He's deadly earnest about becoming the most significant consequential nation in the world.

00:30:39.000 He and others, autocrats, think that democracy can't compete in the 21st century with autocracies because it takes too long to get consensus.

00:30:56.000 To win that competition for the future, in my view, we also need to make a once in a generation investment.

00:31:04.000 and our families and our children.

00:31:07.000 That's why I've introduced the American Families Plan tonight, which addresses four of the biggest challenges facing American families and in turn America.

00:31:17.000 First is access to good education.

00:31:21.000 When this nation made 12 years of public education universal in the last century, it made us the best educated, best prepared nation in the world.

00:31:32.000 It's, I believe, the overwhelming reason that propelled us to where we got.

00:31:37.000 In the 20th century.

00:31:40.000 But the world's caught up or catching up.

00:31:44.000 They're not waiting.

00:31:46.000 I would say parenthetically, if we were sitting down, we'd set a bipartisan committee together and said, okay, we're going to decide what we do in terms of government providing for free education.

00:31:58.000 I wonder whether we'd think, as we did in the 20th century, that 12 years is enough in the 21st century.

00:32:06.000 I doubt it.

00:32:09.000 12 years.

00:32:11.000 is no longer enough today to compete with the rest of the world in the 21st century.

00:32:17.000 That's why My American Families Plan guarantees four additional years of public education for every person in America, starting as early as we can.

00:32:27.000 The great universities in this country have conducted studies over the last 10 years and shows that adding two years of universal high-quality preschool for every three-year-old and four-year-old, no matter what background they come from, puts them in the position to be able to compete all the way through 12 years and increases exponentially the prospect of graduating and going on to graduation.

00:32:54.000 Two years before, four years after.

00:32:55.000 The story shows when a young child goes to school, not daycare, they're far more likely to graduate from high school and go to college or something after high school.

00:33:09.000 When you add two years of free community college on top of that, You begin to change the dynamic.

00:33:16.000 For two years, we can do that.

00:33:21.000 Think about what happens there.

00:33:23.000 They get your kids two years earlier and they keep them two years later.

00:33:27.000 So the government gets your kids for 16 years.

00:33:31.000 The reason is they don't have the endowments.

00:33:36.000 But their students are just as capable of learning.

00:33:38.000 16 out of the first 20 years of every individual's life.

00:33:43.000 Metallurgy.

00:33:43.000 All the things that are going on that provide those jobs of the future.

00:33:49.000 Jill is a community college professor who teaches today as First Lady.

00:33:54.000 She's long said She's wrong.

00:34:17.000 If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times.

00:34:20.000 Joe, any country that out-educates us is going to out-compete us.

00:34:28.000 She'll be deeply involved in leading this effort.

00:34:30.000 Thank you, Joe.

00:34:32.000 Second thing we need, American Families Plan will provide access to quality, affordable child care. 1.00

00:34:41.000 We guarantee I hate her so much.

00:34:52.000 When I'm proposing the legislation, we guarantee that low and middle income families will pay no more than 7% of their income for high quality care for children up to the age of five.

00:35:06.000 The most hard pressed working families won't have to spend a dime.

00:35:11.000 Third, the American Families Plan will finally provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave and medical leave, family American leave.

00:35:22.000 We're one of the few industrial countries in the world.

00:35:29.000 No one should have to choose between a job and a paycheck or taking care of themselves and their loved ones or parent or spouse or child.

00:35:38.000 And fourth, the American Family Plan puts directly into the pockets of millions of Americans.

00:35:45.000 In March, we expanded a tax credit for every child in a family, up to $3,000 per child if they're under six years of age.

00:35:56.000 I'm, excuse me, under over six years of age, and three thousand six hundred dollars for children over six years of age.

00:36:05.000 With two parents, two kids, that's seventy two hundred dollars in the pockets to get to help take care of your family.

00:36:12.000 And that will help more than sixty five million children and help cut child care poverty in half.

00:36:21.000 We can afford it.

00:36:24.000 No, we can't.

00:36:25.000 We can't afford any of this.

00:36:27.000 We did that in the in the last piece of legislation we passed.

00:36:33.000 But let's extend that child care tax credit at least through the end of 2025.

00:36:44.000 The American Rescue Plan lowered health care premiums for 9 million Americans who buy their coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

00:36:52.000 I know that's really popular this side of the aisle.

00:36:56.000 But let's make that provision permanent so their premiums don't go back up.

00:37:03.000 We're going to get like a biblical recession in the Biden administration between the inflation, the high taxes, COVID pain finally hitting.

00:37:15.000 People have no idea.

00:37:17.000 The signs are all there, and it's already happening.

00:37:20.000 The Affordable Care Act has been a lifeline for millions of Americans, protecting people with pre existing conditions, protecting women's health, and the pandemic has demonstrated how badly it's needed.

00:37:32.000 Let's lower deductibles for working families on the Affordable Care Act, and let's lower prescription drug costs.

00:37:43.000 Trump did that.

00:37:45.000 All of this stuff, Trump did.

00:37:47.000 The Trump economy was the best ever.

00:37:50.000 Trump cut the price of prescription drugs.

00:37:52.000 Trump did buy American Hire in America.

00:37:53.000 This is how expensive drugs are in America.

00:37:57.000 In fact, we pay the highest prescription drug prices of anywhere in the world, right here in America.

00:38:05.000 Nearly three times for the same drug, nearly three times what other countries pay.

00:38:13.000 We have to change that, and we can.

00:38:15.000 Let's do what we talked about for all the years I was down here in this body, in Congress.

00:38:21.000 Let's give Medicare the power to save hundreds of billions of dollars by negotiating lower drug prescription prices.

00:38:35.000 By the way, it won't just help people on Medicare.

00:38:40.000 Lower prescription drug costs for everyone.

00:38:43.000 And the money we save, which is billions of dollars, can go to strengthen the Affordable Care Act and expand Medicare coverage benefits without costing taxpayers an additional penny.

00:38:54.000 It's within our power to do it.

00:38:56.000 Let's do it now.

00:39:04.000 We've talked about it long enough, Democrats and Republicans.

00:39:07.000 Let's get it done this year.

00:39:09.000 This is all about a simple premise.

00:39:12.000 Health care should be a right, not a privilege in America.

00:39:18.000 Are there really any people that don't get health care in the country?

00:39:25.000 People say that all the time, but you go to the emergency room and they take care of you.

00:39:25.000 So.

00:39:29.000 I made it clear we can do it without increasing the deficits.

00:39:34.000 Let's start with what I will not do.

00:39:38.000 I will not impose any tax increase on people making less than $400,000.

00:39:44.000 But it's time for corporate America and the wealthiest 1% of Americans to just begin to pay their fair share.

00:39:52.000 Just their fair share.

00:40:01.000 Sometimes I have arguments with my friends in the Democratic Party.

00:40:06.000 I think you should be able to become a billionaire and a millionaire, but pay your fair share.

00:40:10.000 Can't!

00:40:11.000 You can't!

00:40:12.000 You can't!

00:40:13.000 40% capital gains?

00:40:15.000 28% corporate tax, 40% income tax, hyperinflation, no tax.

00:40:21.000 Those 55 corporations made in excess of $40 billion in profit.

00:40:31.000 A lot of companies also evade taxes through tax havens in Switzerland and Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

00:40:40.000 And they benefit from tax loopholes and deductions for offshoring jobs and shifting profits overseas.

00:40:47.000 It's not right.

00:40:49.000 We're going to reform corporate taxes so they pay their fair share and help pay for the public investments their businesses will benefit from as well. 0.94

00:40:57.000 That is ridiculous. 0.97

00:40:58.000 That is ridiculous. 1.00

00:41:01.000 What? 0.96

00:41:02.000 People are benefiting from public investment.

00:41:04.000 I'd love to know, besides the cronies.

00:41:06.000 What a joke.

00:41:07.000 Not just wealth.

00:41:10.000 We take the top tax bracket for the wealthiest 1% of Americans, those making over $400,000 or more, back up to where it was when George W. Bush was president.

00:41:22.000 Hey, get up.

00:41:23.000 Those people are people, too, all right?

00:41:26.000 That's where it was when George W. was president.

00:41:30.000 We're going to get rid of the loopholes, allow Americans to make more than a million dollars a year.

00:41:35.000 and pay a lower tax rate on their capital gains than Americans who receive a paycheck.

00:41:43.000 We're only going to affect three-tenths of 1% of all Americans by that action.

00:41:47.000 Three-tenths of 1%.

00:41:49.000 And the IRS is going to crack down on millionaires and billionaires who cheat on their taxes.

00:41:55.000 It's estimated to be billions of dollars by think tanks that are left, right, and center.

00:42:02.000 I'm not looking to punish anybody.

00:42:06.000 But I will not add a tax burden, additional tax burden to the middle class in this country.

00:42:11.000 They're already paying enough.

00:42:14.000 I believe what I propose is fair.

00:42:17.000 Yeah, the middle class isn't paying more for gas.

00:42:23.000 They're not paying more for everything, right?

00:42:25.000 Paying more for food.

00:42:29.000 The middle class is paying, they're not paying for this at all, right?

00:42:33.000 They don't want to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% or corporate America.

00:42:38.000 Ask them whose taxes you want to raise.

00:42:42.000 Instead, whose are you going to cut?

00:42:48.000 Look, the big tax cut of 2017.

00:42:50.000 Remember, it was supposed to pay for itself.

00:42:55.000 That was how it was sold.

00:42:58.000 And generate vast economic growth.

00:43:01.000 Which it did!

00:43:02.000 Instead, it added $2 trillion to the deficit.

00:43:06.000 You ought to spend $5 trillion.

00:43:08.000 It was a huge windfall for corporate America.

00:43:10.000 In one year.

00:43:11.000 and those at the very top.

00:43:13.000 Instead of using the tax savings to raise wages and invest in research and development, it poured billions of dollars into the pockets of CEOs.

00:43:22.000 In fact, the pay gap between CEOs and their workers is now among the largest in history.

00:43:28.000 According to one study, CEOs make 320 times what the average worker in their corporation makes.

00:43:35.000 Used to be below 100.

00:43:38.000 The pandemic has only made things worse.

00:43:42.000 Where do they think the money is going, though?

00:43:44.000 When they allocate $5 trillion, where do you think the money goes?

00:43:48.000 Do you think it goes into people's hands first?

00:43:50.000 Or where do you think that goes?

00:43:51.000 $650 billion in America saw their net worth increase by more than $1 trillion in the same exact period.

00:43:57.000 Let me say it again.

00:43:59.000 650 people increased their wealth by more than $1 trillion during this pandemic.

00:44:06.000 And they're now worth more than $4 trillion.

00:44:10.000 My fellow Americans, trickle down.

00:44:14.000 Trickle down economics has never worked.

00:44:17.000 And it's time to grow the economy from the bottom in the middle out.

00:44:24.000 But that's not what any of this does.

00:44:28.000 Taking money from productive people and giving it to people that are not productive, investing it in Teachers' unions and all these public works projects that does not create wealth.

00:44:39.000 What I'm proposing will help create millions of jobs and generate historic economic growth.

00:44:44.000 These are among the highest values investments we can make as a nation.

00:44:49.000 I've often said our greatest strength is the power of our example, not just the example of our power.

00:44:58.000 My conversations with world leaders, and I've spoken over 38, 40 of them now.

00:45:01.000 Like, have you ever been to a community college?

00:45:04.000 Is that going to be the difference maker in our war against China or competition with China?

00:45:08.000 You know what they say?

00:45:11.000 You might as well set the money on fire.

00:45:13.000 It'd literally be better use. 0.60

00:45:16.000 But for how long?

00:45:19.000 But for how long?

00:45:21.000 My fellow Americans, we have to show not just that we're back, but that we're back to stay.

00:45:29.000 And that we aren't going to go alone.

00:45:34.000 We're going to do it by leading with our allies.

00:45:40.000 No one nation can deal with all the crises of our time, from terrorism to nuclear proliferation, mass migration, cybersecurity, climate change, as well as what we're experiencing now pandemics.

00:45:54.000 There's no wall high enough to keep any virus out.

00:46:00.000 And our own vaccines. 1.00

00:46:01.000 There's enough to keep immigrants out. 1.00

00:46:03.000 And by the way, when he says mass migration, he's talking about it like a refugee crisis. 1.00

00:46:07.000 Like, how are we going to assimilate these people?

00:46:10.000 And assimilate not culturally, I mean, like, logistically.

00:46:16.000 All this is about is China is rising relative to the United States, so America needs its allies like NATO to balance that out.

00:46:33.000 In terms of firepower, if you add NATO's firepower to America, then it's like the same proportion that it was 30 years ago.

00:46:42.000 The United States accounts as the combined power of Russia and China.

00:46:45.000 That's why they stress this ally stuff.

00:46:48.000 It's about maintaining global hegemony from Washington, D.C. That's what that's about.

00:46:52.000 I kept my commitment to rejoin the Paris Accord because if we do everything perfectly, it's not going to only matter.

00:47:00.000 I kept my commitment to convene a climate summit right here in America with all the major economies of the world China, Russia, India, European Union.

00:47:11.000 I said I'd do it in my first 100 days.

00:47:12.000 I want to be very blunt about it.

00:47:17.000 I had my attempt to make sure that the world could see there was a consensus that we are at an inflection point in history.

00:47:30.000 And Kent's consensus is if we act to save the planet, we can create millions of jobs and economic growth and opportunity.

00:47:38.000 That's all.

00:47:39.000 That's dope.

00:47:40.000 If you've watched any of it and you were all busy, I'm sure you didn't have much time.

00:47:40.000 That's dope.

00:47:46.000 That's what virtually every nation said, even the ones that aren't doing their fair share.

00:47:53.000 The only way that we're going to fix climate change, which is not real, reducing emissions, is by reducing productive economic activity.

00:48:02.000 So you cannot create wealth by reducing productive economic activity, which is what is necessary to quote unquote save the world from climate change.

00:48:13.000 So those two things don't work at all.

00:48:15.000 You can have one or the other.

00:48:18.000 Absolutely clear.

00:48:20.000 The only way to reduce emissions is by reducing productive activity and making everyone poorer.

00:48:24.000 Less consumption, less resources.

00:48:29.000 We can't create jobs doing that.

00:48:31.000 Even if you're taking money from one and giving it to another, I mean, that's not creating wealth.

00:48:37.000 American technology, intellectual property.

00:48:40.000 I also told President Xi that we'll maintain a strong military presence in the Indo Pacific just as we do with NATO and Europe.

00:48:47.000 Not to start a conflict, but to prevent one. 0.99

00:48:50.000 That is the biggest load of shit ever. 0.99

00:48:55.000 You think our carrier strike groups in the Indo Pacific is preventing conflict? 1.00

00:49:00.000 Please.

00:49:01.000 I told them what I said to many world leaders that America will not back away from our commitments, our commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms and to our alliances.

00:49:13.000 And I pointed out to him no responsible American president could remain silent when basic human rights are being so blatantly violated.

00:49:23.000 Really?

00:49:25.000 President has to represent the essence of what our country stands for.

00:49:30.000 America is an idea.

00:49:32.000 No!

00:49:32.000 The most unique idea in history.

00:49:35.000 It's not an idea.

00:49:36.000 We are created, all of us equal.

00:49:36.000 It's an idea.

00:49:40.000 It's who we are.

00:49:42.000 And we cannot walk away from that principle and, in fact, say we're dealing with the American idea.

00:49:51.000 With regard to Russia, I know it concerns some of you, but I made very clear to Putin.

00:49:57.000 That we're not going to seek escalation, but their actions will have consequences if they turn out to be true.

00:50:07.000 And they turned out to be true. 0.52

00:50:10.000 So I responded directly and proportionally to Russia's interference in our elections and the cyber attacks on our government and our business. 0.69

00:50:19.000 They did both of these things.

00:50:22.000 And I told them we would respond, and we have.

00:50:25.000 But we can also cooperate.

00:50:27.000 When it's our mutual interest.

00:50:30.000 Wow, dude, Charlie Kirk says America is our home.

00:50:33.000 Somebody reply with that video from when he says America's an idea.

00:50:38.000 We will respond on Iran and North Korea.

00:50:44.000 Let me see if I can find it because I saw it.

00:50:46.000 I know I have it on my camera.

00:50:47.000 Here it is, right here.

00:50:50.000 And American leadership means ending the forever war in Afghanistan.

00:50:58.000 We have.

00:50:59.000 I got it, I got it.

00:51:02.000 I'm so good.

00:51:03.000 I'm so good at training.

00:51:14.000 I'm the best, the best.

00:51:17.000 Without hyperbole, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.

00:51:20.000 See how quick that was?

00:51:21.000 You see how fast I've been fighting?

00:51:22.000 I'm the first president in 40 years and knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone.

00:51:27.000 Number one, number one.

00:51:28.000 Today we have service members serving in the same war zone as their parents did.

00:51:32.000 We have service members in Afghanistan who are not yet born on 9 11.

00:51:39.000 The war in Afghanistan, as we remember the debates here, were never meant to be multi-universal undertakings of nation building.

00:51:47.000 We went to Afghanistan to get terrorists, the terrorists who attacked us on 9-11.

00:51:54.000 And we said we would follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell to do it.

00:51:59.000 If you've been in the upper Konar Valley, you've kind of seen the gates of hell. 0.68

00:52:04.000 And we delivered justice to bin Laden.

00:52:07.000 We degraded the terrorist threat of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

00:52:11.000 And after 20 years of value, America is our home. 1.00

00:52:15.000 My ass, dude. 1.00

00:52:16.000 Really? 1.00

00:52:17.000 I'm posting.

00:52:51.000 Like your retweet, like your retweet, and reply.

00:52:59.000 This idea of loyalty.

00:53:01.000 I have loyalty to ideas.

00:53:02.000 And of course, I love the Grand Canyon.

00:53:04.000 I love the Hornets and Mountains.

00:53:06.000 And I love Boston, Chicago. 0.51

00:53:08.000 But if all that disappeared and all I had was ideas, and we were on an island, that's America.

00:53:13.000 Wait, wait!

00:53:14.000 They're talking about us!

00:53:16.000 My fellow Americans, look, we have to come together to heal the soul of this nation.

00:53:22.000 It was nearly a year ago before her father's funeral.

00:53:25.000 Look at that.

00:53:26.000 Dude, we are.

00:53:27.000 How many people are watching this stream?

00:53:29.000 It's up to like 600 likes in like two seconds.

00:53:32.000 I was kneeling down to talk to her so I could look her in the eye.

00:53:38.000 She looked at me and she said, My daddy changed the world.

00:53:44.000 Well, after the conviction of George Floyd's murderer.

00:53:48.000 George Florge.

00:53:49.000 George Florge.

00:53:52.000 If we have the courage to act as a church.

00:53:54.000 George Borge.

00:53:56.000 Borge Boyd.

00:53:57.000 Borge Bloyd.

00:53:59.000 George Borge Bloyd.

00:54:01.000 Now's our opportunity.

00:54:19.000 America. 0.95

00:54:19.000 That's Israel. 0.95

00:54:20.000 And that's what people have to realize, that America's just a placeholder for timeless ideas.

00:54:25.000 And if you fall too in love with, you know, oh, the specific place and all this, that's not what it is.

00:54:31.000 I want to help meet this moment as well.

00:54:34.000 My fellow Americans, we have to come together to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the people they serve, to root out systemic racism in our criminal justice system, and to enact police reform in George Floyd's name that passed the House already.

00:54:52.000 I know Republicans have their own ideas and are engaged in very productive discussions with Democrats in the Senate.

00:54:59.000 We need to work together to find a consensus.

00:55:02.000 But let's get it done next month by the first anniversary of George Floyd's death.

00:55:17.000 The country supports this reform and Congress should act.

00:55:24.000 We have a giant opportunity to bend the arc of dopamine, dopamine fiend.

00:55:30.000 And with the plague, I love when I see the likes and the retweets go up.

00:55:38.000 Dopamine.

00:55:40.000 Give me another hit.

00:55:42.000 Good jobs, good schools.

00:55:44.000 Yeah, I feel that dopamine coursing through my veins.

00:55:47.000 Generate wealth and pass it down to generations because you haven't access to.

00:55:51.000 Purchase a house.

00:55:53.000 Real opportunities. 1.00

00:55:54.000 Love, love the live race. 0.99

00:55:56.000 Black, white, Latino, Asian Americans, Native Americans. 0.94

00:56:00.000 Look, I also want to thank the United States Senate. 0.50

00:56:04.000 No, Kizzy.

00:56:05.000 What does it do?

00:56:06.000 What does it do?

00:56:07.000 To pass the COVID 19 Hate Crimes Act to protect Asian American Pacific Islanders. 1.00

00:56:14.000 Let's go, Asian and Pacific Islanders. 1.00

00:56:17.000 Decisively. 1.00

00:56:17.000 You can see on television the viciousness of the hate. 1.00

00:56:26.000 Crimes we've seen over the past year, this past year, and for too long.

00:56:31.000 I urge the house to do the same and send that legislation to my desk.

00:56:34.000 Which I got that video up so fast, pinpointed it in my camera roll, pinpointed my desk. 0.97

00:56:41.000 The equality genius protect LGBTQ America.

00:56:44.000 No, no, we do not need to protect that.

00:56:47.000 All transgender Americans watching at home, especially young people, you're so brave.

00:56:52.000 I want you to know your president has your back.

00:56:55.000 Oh, please, another thing. 1.00

00:56:57.000 Let's authorize the Violence Against Women Act, which has been law for. 0.84

00:57:00.000 Finally, finally, finally. 0.96

00:57:04.000 It's about time to authorize violence against women. 0.98

00:57:09.000 It's long past due.

00:57:11.000 It'll close the act that has to be authorized now. 1.00

00:57:14.000 We'll close the boyfriend loophole to keep guns out of the hands of the women. 0.99

00:57:18.000 The boyfriend loophole means you don't have to be married to hit your wife or your girlfriend. 1.00

00:57:24.000 Close the boyfriend loophole.

00:57:25.000 Authorize violence against women from their boyfriends, too, and not just their husbands. 0.99

00:57:30.000 It's a joke!

00:57:31.000 That's a joke!

00:57:32.000 I'm kidding when I say that, okay? 0.99

00:57:34.000 Shot and killed by an intimate partner every month in America. 0.92

00:57:40.000 50 a month.

00:57:43.000 Let's pass it and save some lives.

00:57:46.000 Yeah, see? 0.99

00:57:47.000 Because when you can't do violence against women, that's when people kill, you know? 1.00

00:57:51.000 So we gotta save lives with this. 0.98

00:57:54.000 It does save lives.

00:57:56.000 You don't have to kill your wife if you could put her in line, you know? 0.99

00:57:58.000 It's a joke! 0.98

00:57:59.000 These are jokes.

00:58:00.000 I'm kidding.

00:58:01.000 I'm against violence against women, okay?

00:58:02.000 I'm against it.

00:58:03.000 It's just a joke.

00:58:05.000 For the eight victims of the disease. 1.00

00:58:07.000 All these libtard media are like, said he was joking. 1.00

00:58:10.000 It's a joke. 1.00

00:58:11.000 It's a joke.

00:58:13.000 And in the week in between those two events, 250 other Americans were shot dead in the streets of America.

00:58:22.000 250 shot dead.

00:58:26.000 I know how hard it is to make progress on this issue.

00:58:29.000 In the 90s, we passed universal background checks, abandoned assault weapons and high capacity magazines that hold 100 rounds that can be fired off in seconds.

00:58:40.000 We beat the NRA.

00:58:42.000 Mass shootings and gun violence declined.

00:58:45.000 Check out the report over 10 years.

00:58:48.000 But in the early 2000s, the law expired.

00:58:52.000 We've seen daily bloodshed since.

00:58:54.000 I'm not saying if the law continued, we wouldn't see bloodshed.

00:58:58.000 More than two weeks ago in the Rose Garden, surrounded by some of the bravest people I know, the survivors and families who lost loved ones to gun violence, I laid out several of the Department of Justice actions that are being taken to impact this epidemic.

00:59:15.000 One of them is banning so called ghost guns.

00:59:19.000 These are homemade guns built from a kit that includes directions how to finish the firearm.

00:59:25.000 The parts have no serial numbers, so they show up at crime scenes.

00:59:31.000 And they can't be traced.

00:59:33.000 The buyers of these ghost gun kits aren't required to pass any background check.

00:59:39.000 Anyone from a criminal or terrorist could buy this kit and within 30 minutes have a weapon that's lethal.

00:59:49.000 I'm putting that tweet on Telegram.

00:59:52.000 And I'll do everything in my power to protect the American people from this epidemic of gun violence, but it's time for Congress to act as well. 0.99

01:00:01.000 They're trying to take our guns to make it easier for black people to kill us. 1.00

01:00:07.000 It's just true. 1.00

01:00:08.000 That's just a fact.

01:00:10.000 Just a straight up fact.

01:00:13.000 It's what it is.

01:00:16.000 That's what the RNC told us.

01:00:18.000 We have all donors in the audience.

01:00:23.000 We need a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

01:00:29.000 Don't tell me it can't be done.

01:00:30.000 We did it before and it worked.

01:00:33.000 Talk to most responsible gun owners and hunters.

01:00:37.000 They'll tell you there's no possible justification for having a hundred rounds in a weapon.

01:00:44.000 Do you think a deer wearing Kevlar vests?

01:00:44.000 Yes, you do.

01:00:47.000 Yes, you do!

01:00:48.000 They'll tell you that there are too many people today who are able to buy a gun but shouldn't be able to buy a gun.

01:00:57.000 We need Kevlar vests.

01:00:59.000 We need more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.

01:01:04.000 The country supports reform and Congress should act.

01:01:08.000 This shouldn't be a red or blue issue.

01:01:12.000 And no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.

01:01:16.000 You can't yell fire in a crowded theater.

01:01:19.000 From the very beginning, there were certain guns, weapons, that could not be owned by Americans.

01:01:27.000 Certain people could not own those weapons ever.

01:01:33.000 We're not changing the Constitution.

01:01:37.000 We're being reasonable.

01:01:39.000 I think this is not a Democrat or Republican issue.

01:01:41.000 I think it's an American issue.

01:01:42.000 And here's what else we can do.

01:01:45.000 They always say that, but they're in direct competition with the people.

01:01:48.000 The people being armed is a threat to the security posture of the national security apparatus.

01:01:54.000 There's a real conflict of interest when they say that.

01:01:57.000 It's not, you're right, it's not about the Constitution.

01:02:01.000 The argument protects our right to bear arms, but fundamentally it's about the security dilemma.

01:02:08.000 If you believe we need to secure the border, pass it because it has a lot of money for high tech border security.

01:02:15.000 If you believe in a pathway to citizenship, pass it.

01:02:19.000 There's over 11 million undocumented folks, the vast majority of here overstaying visas. 0.98

01:02:24.000 Pass it. 1.00

01:02:26.000 We can actually, if you actually want to solve a problem, send a bill to take a close look at it.

01:02:33.000 We also have to get at the root problem of why people are fleeing, particularly to our southern border.

01:02:38.000 Because they are poor and we are rich.

01:02:40.000 That's the root problem.

01:02:42.000 And they are poor because of who they are, and we are rich because of who we are, and that will never change. 0.88

01:02:48.000 When I was president, my president, when I was vice president, the president asked me to focus on providing help needed to address the root causes of migration. 0.59

01:02:58.000 And to help keep people in their own countries instead of being forced to leave, the plan was working, but the last administration decided it was not worth it.

01:03:09.000 I'm restoring the program and ask Vice President Harris to lead our diplomatic effort to take care of this.

01:03:14.000 I have absolute confidence to get the job done.

01:03:18.000 Reply to Charlie Kirk's tweet right now.

01:03:43.000 Say what I said in the other tweet.

01:03:46.000 When I said America is just a placeholder for ideas and quotes.

01:03:49.000 Copy that, reply to Kirk with that.

01:03:51.000 Copy the whole tweet and reply with that.

01:03:54.000 Epically, we have to, it's got to be a totally incomplete ratio.

01:04:03.000 Immigrants have done so much for America during this pandemic.

01:04:09.000 Like what? 1.00

01:04:10.000 Spread this disease?

01:04:11.000 And throughout our history. 1.00

01:04:13.000 The country supports immigration reform. 1.00

01:04:16.000 We should be less. 1.00

01:04:17.000 Let's not worry over it.

01:04:18.000 Let's debate it.

01:04:19.000 Let's act.

01:04:21.000 And if we truly want to restore the soul of America, we need to protect the sacred right to vote.

01:04:29.000 Sacred.

01:04:30.000 Election fraud.

01:04:31.000 You stole the election with mail in ballots.

01:04:34.000 Sacred right to vote.

01:04:36.000 When you drop it off in a mobile voting center or a box, please.

01:04:40.000 More people voted in the last presidential election than any time in American history.

01:04:44.000 In the middle of the worst pandemic ever, it should be celebrated.

01:04:50.000 Instead, it's being attacked.

01:04:53.000 Congress should pass H.R. 1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and send it to my desk right away.

01:04:59.000 No, John Lewis.

01:05:01.000 The country supports it.

01:05:03.000 And Congress should act now.

01:05:07.000 Why won't this guy stand up, huh?

01:05:09.000 Look, in conclusion, as we gather here tonight, the image of a violent mob assaulting this Capitol, desecrating our democracy, remains vivid in all our minds.

01:05:19.000 Lives are put at risk.

01:05:20.000 Yeah, it is vivid in my mind.

01:05:22.000 It always will be.

01:05:24.000 Extraordinary courage was summoned.

01:05:26.000 Yes, it was!

01:05:28.000 By Baked Alaska!

01:05:29.000 An existential crisis, a test of whether our democracy could survive.

01:05:34.000 That's right, that's right, that's right!

01:05:37.000 The question of whether our democracy will long endure is both ancient and urgent.

01:05:43.000 As old as our republic, still vital today.

01:05:48.000 Can our democracy deliver on its promise that all of us, created equal in the image of God, had a chance to lead lives of dignity?

01:05:56.000 Respect and possibility.

01:05:57.000 Yeah, real dignified, getting vaccinated, right?

01:05:59.000 Getting forcibly vaccinated with a mask on.

01:06:02.000 Real dignified life from underneath.

01:06:05.000 This is dignity.

01:06:06.000 Yeah, that's what a dignified human looks like, right?

01:06:09.000 America's adversaries, the autocrats of the world, are betting we can't.

01:06:14.000 And I promise you, they're betting we can't.

01:06:17.000 They believe we're too full of anger and division and rage.

01:06:21.000 They look at the images of the mob that assaulted the capital as proof that the sun is setting on American democracy.

01:06:27.000 But they're wrong.

01:06:29.000 You know it, I know it.

01:06:31.000 But we have to prove them wrong.

01:06:32.000 We have to prove democracy still works, that our government still works, and we can deliver for our people.

01:06:39.000 In our first 100 days together, we've acted to restore people's faith in democracy to deliver.

01:06:45.000 We're vaccinating the nation.

01:06:47.000 We're creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

01:06:50.000 We're delivering real results to people.

01:06:52.000 They can see it and feel it in their own lives.

01:06:55.000 Opening doors of opportunity, guaranteeing some more fairness and justice.

01:06:58.000 That's the essence of America.

01:07:00.000 That's democracy in action.

01:07:03.000 Our Constitution opens with the words, as straight as it sounds, we the people.

01:07:07.000 Well, it's time to remember that we the people are the government.

01:07:12.000 You and I. Not some force in a distant capital.

01:07:17.000 Not some powerful force that we have no control over.

01:07:20.000 It's us.

01:07:22.000 It's we, the people.

01:07:24.000 In another era, when our democracy was tested, Franklin Roosevelt reminded us in America we do our part.

01:07:32.000 We all do our part.

01:07:34.000 That's all I'm asking.

01:07:36.000 That we do our part, all of us.

01:07:39.000 If we do that, we will meet the center challenge of the age by proving that democracy is durable and strong. 0.98

01:07:49.000 Autocrats will not win the future. 1.00

01:07:50.000 Yes, they will. 1.00

01:07:52.000 Yes, they will.

01:07:54.000 Those are not mutually exclusive.

01:08:01.000 The future belongs to autocrats. 0.95

01:08:09.000 Americans, autocrats, winning the future. 0.99

01:08:19.000 Pandemic and pain. 1.00

01:08:20.000 But only if they work together.

01:08:21.000 And the people did not flinch.

01:08:25.000 The very moment our adversaries were certain we'd pull apart and fail, we came together, reunited.

01:08:33.000 With light and hope, we summoned a new strength, new resolve to position us to win the competition of the 21st century.

01:08:42.000 On our way to a union more perfect, more prosperous, and more just, as one people, one nation, and one America.

01:08:53.000 Really?

01:08:54.000 Folks, as I told every world leader I've ever met with over the years, it's never, ever, ever been a good bet to bet against America, and it still isn't.

01:09:04.000 That's so nice.

01:09:05.000 For the United States of America, there's not a single thing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity.

01:09:13.000 We can do whatever we set our minds to if we do it together.

01:09:17.000 That's malarkey.

01:09:18.000 So let's begin to get together. 1.00

01:09:20.000 I'm betting on China. 0.96

01:09:21.000 I'm betting on Russia.

01:09:22.000 We've got to protect our troops. 0.98

01:09:24.000 Thank you for your patience.

01:09:26.000 Thank you for your patience. 0.99

01:09:28.000 This guy sucks. 0.99

01:09:29.000 There you have it, President Biden, his first address to a joint session of Congress. 1.00

01:09:34.000 There's that dignified, there's that dignity of democracy or whatever.

01:09:39.000 See, here's the problem with the whole speech.

01:09:42.000 It was actually kind of nicely summarized at the end when Biden says, It's never been a good idea to bet against America.

01:09:49.000 And you know, that was true for a long time, and it was true for fundamental reasons.

01:09:54.000 It's not true because America is a magical place.

01:09:57.000 With a magical name and magical dirt.

01:10:00.000 It was true because of the stock that was here.

01:10:04.000 It's true because of the legal framework that we had.

01:10:06.000 There were a lot of things that America had going for it that was the guarantor of American greatness and American exceptionalism.

01:10:13.000 You know, if you look at like a sports team and say, wow, you know, the Blackhawks are dominating in hockey, they're not doing well because they've got a great uniform or a logo.

01:10:24.000 It's because the players are good, the players are the best.

01:10:27.000 It's a bad idea to bet against.

01:10:30.000 The Patriots, the football team, right?

01:10:32.000 It's because of the people.

01:10:33.000 It's because of the leadership.

01:10:34.000 It's because of the system, you know?

01:10:38.000 And as soon as they have bad players, and as soon as they have bad leadership, and as soon as they're not training enough, then they're not winning the Super Bowl anymore.

01:10:46.000 They're not winning the Stanley Cup anymore.

01:10:49.000 Right?

01:10:50.000 And the same goes for America.

01:10:51.000 And so, what used to be true, which is that America had a strong core and strong fundamentals, it's been replaced now with just this vapid and hollow rhetoric, which is almost like it's knowingly delusional.

01:11:06.000 It's almost like this reluctant but knowing delusion.

01:11:10.000 About, you know, it's still a bad idea to bet against America.

01:11:13.000 Does anybody really believe that anymore?

01:11:15.000 Are we the envy of the world in any way or sense?

01:11:19.000 What American city feels like the future?

01:11:22.000 What American city is world class?

01:11:24.000 Take a look at any of the cities LA, Chicago, San Francisco, New York City.

01:11:30.000 These futures, or rather, these cities feel like the future.

01:11:33.000 Do these cities feel like world class?

01:11:36.000 There used to be a time when people could come to America and feel like it was the envy of the world.

01:11:41.000 The World's Fair in Chicago, Illinois.

01:11:44.000 At the Colombian Exposition.

01:11:47.000 That felt like the future.

01:11:48.000 That felt like limitless potential.

01:11:50.000 Not anymore.

01:11:52.000 Now America's a dump, and the future's happening in Asia. 0.97

01:11:55.000 The future is the Belt and Road Initiative.

01:11:58.000 The future is the high speed rail that they're building over there, massive investment in infrastructure.

01:12:04.000 The future is the fusion of a tyrannical state with market elements in the economy.

01:12:12.000 Think about countries that are safer, richer, more advanced, more.

01:12:17.000 More serious, more aggressive than America.

01:12:19.000 It's like more than a dozen countries on that list now Japan, China, Russia, even a lot of countries in Europe, Hungary, Poland.

01:12:28.000 Maybe they're not equal to America or have parity, but their trajectory is certainly better than ours in terms of quality of life.

01:12:35.000 And that's because we have lost the fundamentals.

01:12:37.000 We've totally lost the plot here.

01:12:40.000 And that was laid out throughout the speech.

01:12:42.000 We're going to make America better by taking money from productive people.

01:12:47.000 And blowing it basically on unions, blowing it on public investments into things that don't work.

01:12:56.000 You know, like there's no reason why windmills can't be built in Pittsburgh.

01:13:01.000 Why are we building windmills?

01:13:02.000 We know that windmills are not an efficient source of energy.

01:13:06.000 And, you know, and I said this earlier too when he was going through the climate change stuff, and this is just one slice, this is just one example.

01:13:14.000 He's going through the climate change stuff and says, you know, there's no reason that we can't save the world and create jobs while doing it.

01:13:20.000 Well, yes, there is.

01:13:22.000 And the windmills are a perfect example.

01:13:24.000 We're going to create jobs building windmills.

01:13:26.000 Well, there's just one problem.

01:13:27.000 Windmills are supposed to be an alternative renewable energy source, but it's not a good alternative at all.

01:13:33.000 Because the energy that is generated by windmills is inefficient, not abundant, and intermittent, meaning that you can't rely on it.

01:13:42.000 Meaning that, like you saw in Texas during their big snowstorm earlier this year, and everybody was out without power, sometimes when you flip the lights on, they're not going to come on because the wind's not blowing, because the sun isn't shining.

01:13:55.000 So, these are not a replacement for energy.

01:13:57.000 This is a big investment in ideology.

01:13:59.000 This is a big investment in this sort of idea, which is completely disconnected from reality.

01:14:06.000 This ambition, which again has no basis in technological reality, which is that we're going to be able to have totally clean energy.

01:14:14.000 We can have the same level of economic productivity, the same level of energy creation, and all of that, reliability.

01:14:22.000 You know, everyone's going to be fine, but it's all going to be renewable.

01:14:25.000 It's all going to come from waterfalls and the wind and the breeze.

01:14:29.000 And the sunlight, you know, that just has no basis in reality.

01:14:33.000 So, they're taking all this money from you, from corporations, everything else.

01:14:37.000 They're dumping it into these investments that are not going to bear fruit.

01:14:41.000 It's not going to create energy.

01:14:43.000 It's not going to create economic value.

01:14:46.000 And really, what's going to happen is this everyone is just going to have less.

01:14:54.000 Because, you know, when you change from reliable fossil fuel energy to intermittent renewable energy, people are not going to have reliable or cheap.

01:15:05.000 Electricity.

01:15:06.000 So, how are we going to pay for this?

01:15:08.000 Well, you're not going to be able to consume electricity as much or as cheaply, right?

01:15:14.000 Or as reliably.

01:15:15.000 That's how we're paying for it.

01:15:17.000 And how are we going to pay for the investment in green energy?

01:15:20.000 Well, all that productive capital that was sucked out of the economy to pay for these jobs, that's how you're going to pay for it.

01:15:25.000 And you're going to pay for it with your wages, with your cost of living, and everything.

01:15:29.000 So, and you know, the climate change is a totally separate thing, which I'll get into in a moment, but that's just one part of it.

01:15:36.000 When he says, like, We don't bet against America.

01:15:39.000 America is the best ever.

01:15:40.000 That's like a prime example of it.

01:15:42.000 Taking tried and true, what powered the 20th century?

01:15:47.000 Oil.

01:15:48.000 Oil and natural gas and coal.

01:15:50.000 That's what powered the 20th century.

01:15:52.000 Why can't you bet against America?

01:15:54.000 Because America was an energy powerhouse for the last century.

01:15:58.000 And so, you know, 50, 60 years ago, I wouldn't have bet against America.

01:16:02.000 In the 40s and with Trump, when we achieved energy independence, I wouldn't have bet against America.

01:16:08.000 American energy, I'd say, We have so much untapped potential with shale and all of that.

01:16:16.000 So I wouldn't bet against American energy.

01:16:18.000 And it replaces it with these sort of ideological delusions, replaces it with this blind ambition.

01:16:24.000 America could have whatever it wants.

01:16:26.000 We could save the world.

01:16:28.000 We could transition to technologies that don't exist yet.

01:16:32.000 We could spend lots of money.

01:16:33.000 We've got the money to do it.

01:16:34.000 We don't have it because we're in $25 trillion in debt and it's going to cost $5 trillion more for this.

01:16:40.000 We could do it.

01:16:41.000 We're America.

01:16:43.000 No, you can't.

01:16:45.000 I'm not going to bet on that.

01:16:46.000 I'm not going to bet on the idea that America can defy the laws of reality, can defy the laws of economy and energy and technological progress.

01:16:55.000 No, I'm not going to bet against those forces, like gravity dragging us down.

01:17:00.000 No, I will not.

01:17:01.000 America, as far as energy goes, at one point had the fundamentals.

01:17:05.000 Now it doesn't.

01:17:07.000 And what you're talking about is no basis in reality.

01:17:09.000 So we've substituted a foundation, something real and concrete.

01:17:13.000 A real, you know, like when you look at investing in something, you look at the fundamentals, you look at the value.

01:17:18.000 It's value based investment.

01:17:21.000 Would I bet against America?

01:17:22.000 No.

01:17:23.000 Because I could see the energy, I can see the coal, I could see it works, tried and true.

01:17:31.000 It's the best there is.

01:17:33.000 And now I look at what's being proposed and I say the technology's not there.

01:17:37.000 It's an inferior form of energy, it's less efficient.

01:17:40.000 There's no guarantee that it's ever going to get better.

01:17:43.000 So I'm not going to bet in favor of that.

01:17:45.000 So, we substituted, again, fundamentals for this blind ideological conviction in democracy or the open society, ecology, whatever.

01:17:56.000 That's just one example of this.

01:17:58.000 But the whole speech is based on this premise.

01:18:01.000 All of these liberals and progressives believe in American exceptionalism, but in a very different way.

01:18:08.000 Their idea of American exceptionalism is that America is a flawed nation, it's always been flawed, we've always been striving for these bigger things, we've always been. 0.57

01:18:18.000 Is that trans?

01:18:18.000 What is this?

01:18:19.000 Is that some kind of tranny? 0.99

01:18:20.000 How tall is that person?

01:18:22.000 Joe Biden's like six foot two or something.

01:18:25.000 Is that a woman?

01:18:26.000 How tall is that person?

01:18:27.000 That's a man.

01:18:29.000 That's a man. 1.00

01:18:32.000 Look at her hands. 0.53

01:18:33.000 Look at his hands.

01:18:36.000 Dude, that's a man. 0.99

01:18:38.000 What the freaking hack? 0.99

01:18:41.000 What the hell? 0.98

01:18:42.000 I'm totally distracted by this garish. 0.99

01:18:46.000 What the hell? 0.94

01:18:47.000 Is that James Comey? 0.99

01:18:48.000 Who is that?

01:18:49.000 They keep getting taller.

01:18:50.000 Are they.

01:18:51.000 Oh, I think they're standing on something.

01:18:52.000 Okay, never mind.

01:18:53.000 They're standing on something.

01:18:56.000 They're on a riser.

01:18:57.000 Okay, that makes sense.

01:18:58.000 I was so confused.

01:19:00.000 I'm like, what are they all into?

01:19:02.000 All these giants.

01:19:04.000 Okay, no, they're just on a riser.

01:19:05.000 That's why.

01:19:06.000 They're on an elevated platform.

01:19:08.000 I was so confused.

01:19:09.000 I'm like, how tall is that lady?

01:19:12.000 How tall is that man? 1.00

01:19:12.000 What? 1.00

01:19:14.000 Okay, so they were just standing on something.

01:19:19.000 Anyway, so where was I?

01:19:21.000 Yeah, so these leftists, they believe in this American exceptionalism of, well, we're striving, we're trying to be better, and all of that.

01:19:29.000 But their idea of American greatness, they don't want greatness.

01:19:34.000 And it was never there, and it never existed.

01:19:36.000 This idea of like, We can have it all ways.

01:19:39.000 Like, we can just deny reality.

01:19:41.000 We can evolve beyond tribalism.

01:19:43.000 We can evolve beyond greed.

01:19:45.000 We can eliminate poverty.

01:19:47.000 We can eliminate pestilence.

01:19:49.000 Like, no, we can't.

01:19:51.000 No, we can't.

01:19:52.000 We can create a good standard of living where there's social mobility and people that are productive can rise through the ranks.

01:20:01.000 We can create a reasonable standard of living where nobody is in extreme poverty.

01:20:06.000 We can create a standard of living where if you get sick, you can get the best treatment in the world.

01:20:11.000 I mean, All of that to me is reasonable.

01:20:14.000 But this kind of stuff, like, we're going to cure cancer, we're going to save the world, we're going to stop the climate from changing, and we can create jobs doing it.

01:20:22.000 And then we're going to eliminate racism.

01:20:25.000 And then, and it's like, no, you can't.

01:20:29.000 And that really gets to the foundations of leftism, which is they are in denial about reality.

01:20:37.000 They're in denial about the human condition, they're in denial about scarcity.

01:20:42.000 We will never achieve heaven on this planet.

01:20:44.000 And that's not supposed to be pessimistic.

01:20:46.000 You know, some liberals might say, oh, I'm just getting my hope injection and a vaccine.

01:20:51.000 I guess I'm just more hopeful than you are because I just got a hope injection.

01:20:55.000 It's got nothing to do with that.

01:20:57.000 It's just about the acceptance of the limitations of mankind and of the kinds of societies that mankind can create.

01:21:06.000 This is the hubris behind liberalism this idea that through technology and through government, through law, That we are going to transcend the limitations of this earth and of our own human biological and, I guess, mortal moral capacity.

01:21:25.000 We can't do that.

01:21:26.000 And when we try to do that, we fall short of what's possible.

01:21:30.000 You know, because there is a range of outcomes where there's better and there's worse.

01:21:35.000 You fall short of the best outcome you can achieve when you try to strive beyond, when you try to reach beyond, when you reject.

01:21:43.000 Because this is delusion, you know?

01:21:45.000 So that.

01:21:46.000 That's underlying the whole speech.

01:21:48.000 Yo, look!

01:21:50.000 That's.

01:21:51.000 Hey, I was there.

01:21:53.000 I wasn't there.

01:21:54.000 I wasn't at the tiki torch.

01:21:57.000 What's this now?

01:22:04.000 Wow.

01:22:06.000 Look at this.

01:22:07.000 Four years later, still talking about Charlottesville, right?

01:22:10.000 Four years.

01:22:11.000 It's been four years.

01:22:12.000 Among Us!

01:22:14.000 Hey!

01:22:16.000 The war among us.

01:22:18.000 Hmm.

01:22:20.000 Chris Cantwell's awful sus. 1.00

01:22:23.000 Baked Alaska needs milk.

01:22:25.000 Sounds kind of sus.

01:22:27.000 What tasks were you doing?

01:22:30.000 Tiki Torch?

01:22:32.000 What task were you doing?

01:22:33.000 Drinking milk?

01:22:36.000 I saw him vent. 1.00

01:22:37.000 Okay, that's stupid. 1.00

01:22:38.000 That's a stupid joke. 1.00

01:22:40.000 Anyway, so, yeah, the whole speech is like. 1.00

01:22:45.000 I mean, I thought Biden was really sharp because, I mean, we know he's like demented. 0.92

01:22:50.000 We know his mental faculties are declining. 0.92

01:22:53.000 Maybe that's overblown.

01:22:54.000 Maybe they're not because every time he makes a public appearance, he seems to be pretty with it.

01:22:58.000 And some have said that that's a cocktail of drugs.

01:23:01.000 That's certainly possible, you know, because it seems like he, whenever he does a press conference, For an interview or a normal, you know, one of these day to day public appearances, he's always off, stumbling, and it's not a gaffe.

01:23:14.000 You know, I saw there was some news report that said, oh, you know, Biden has always been prone to gaffes.

01:23:20.000 It's not a gaffe to do what Biden does, where he forgets the names of his Secretary of Defense, he forgets the Constitution.

01:23:28.000 It's not a preamble when you're slurring your words and you're not enunciating.

01:23:34.000 I mean, that's not a gaffe.

01:23:36.000 I mean, something's there's a neurological problem, you know?

01:23:39.000 If somebody's face starts drooping, you don't say, oh, he's making a funny face.

01:23:43.000 You say, no, that person needs medical attention.

01:23:46.000 So I don't know.

01:23:47.000 For whatever reason, whenever he does these big ones, when all the eyes are on him, when he does the inaugural, the debates, that kind of thing, he always seems to be on his game, you know, for the most part.

01:24:00.000 And I don't know why that is.

01:24:02.000 I don't know if that is, you know, smelling salts and cocaine.

01:24:07.000 I don't know what cocktail of drugs.

01:24:08.000 Oh, here we go.

01:24:09.000 We got the response.

01:24:10.000 I forgot about this.

01:24:12.000 All right, one sec.

01:24:16.000 I'm Senator Tim Scott from the great state of South Carolina.

01:24:19.000 We just heard President Biden's speech.

01:24:20.000 This guy looks like an otter.

01:24:22.000 He looks like an otter.

01:24:23.000 The president seems like a good man.

01:24:25.000 His speech was full of good words, but President Biden promised you a specific kind of leadership.

01:24:32.000 He promised to unite a nation, to lower the temperature, to govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted.

01:24:40.000 This was the pitch.

01:24:41.000 You just heard it again.

01:24:43.000 But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes.

01:24:47.000 We need policies and progress that bring us closer together.

01:24:51.000 But three months in, the actions of the president and his party are pulling us further and further apart.

01:24:58.000 I won't waste your time with finger pointing or partisan bickering.

01:25:01.000 You can get that on TV anytime you want.

01:25:04.000 I want to have an honest conversation about common sense, common ground, Podchamp.

01:25:10.000 I have this feeling that our nation is sliding off its shared foundation.

01:25:14.000 Honest conversation, finally!

01:25:18.000 I never dreamed I would be standing here tonight.

01:25:21.000 When I was a kid, my parents divorced.

01:25:23.000 Wow, this isn't platitudinal.

01:25:25.000 I moved in with my grandparents.

01:25:26.000 This is honest.

01:25:27.000 Three of us sharing one bedroom.

01:25:30.000 I was disillusioned and angry, and I nearly failed out of school.

01:25:35.000 But I was blessed.

01:25:37.000 First, with a praying mama.

01:25:39.000 And let me say this to the single mothers out there who are working their tails off, working hard, trying to make the ends meet, wondering if it's worth it.

01:25:51.000 You can bet it is.

01:25:53.000 God bless your amazing effort on the heart of your kids.

01:25:58.000 I was also blessed by a Chick fil A operator, John Moniz.

01:26:02.000 And finally, with a string of opportunities, I was blessed by people here.

01:26:07.000 Now, something from my niggas.

01:26:10.000 Now, a little something from my baby mamas.

01:26:11.000 It's worth it.

01:26:12.000 I was blessed by the rung of the ladder that helped me up.

01:26:15.000 So many families have lost parents and grandparents too early.

01:26:19.000 So many small businesses have gone under.

01:26:22.000 Becoming a Christian transformed my life.

01:26:25.000 But for months, too many churches were shut down.

01:26:30.000 Most of all, I'm saddened that millions of kids have lost a year of learning when they could not afford to lose a single day.

01:26:40.000 Locking vulnerable kids out of the classroom is locking adults out of their future.

01:26:47.000 Our public schools should have reopened months ago.

01:26:50.000 Other countries did.

01:26:52.000 Private and religious schools did.

01:26:54.000 Science has shown for months that schools are safe.

01:26:59.000 But too often, powerful grown ups set science aside, and kids like me.

01:27:06.000 We're left behind.

01:27:08.000 The clearest case I've seen for kids like me.

01:27:11.000 What?

01:27:12.000 You're not a kid.

01:27:14.000 Really?

01:27:14.000 Education is magic.

01:27:16.000 Have you been to this school?

01:27:20.000 Congress supported our schools, our hospitals, and funded Operation Warp Speed, delivering vaccines in record time.

01:27:34.000 All five bills got 90.

01:27:37.000 4chan is magic.

01:27:39.000 Meme magic is the only magic in America.

01:27:41.000 It's coming from education, please.

01:27:43.000 In February, Republicans told President Biden we wanted to keep working together to finish this fight.

01:27:50.000 But Democrats wanted to go it alone.

01:27:53.000 They spent almost $2 trillion on a partisan bill that the White House bribed was the most liberal bill in American history.

01:28:03.000 Only 1% went to vaccinations, no requirement to reopen schools promptly.

01:28:09.000 COVID brought Congress together five times.

01:28:12.000 This administration pushed us apart.

01:28:16.000 Another issue that should unite us is infrastructure.

01:28:20.000 Republicans support everything you think of when you think of infrastructure roads, bridges, ports, airports, waterways, high speed broadband.

01:28:30.000 We're in for all of that.

01:28:33.000 But again, Democrats want a partisan wish list, they won't even build bridges.

01:28:39.000 To build bridges.

01:28:40.000 Less than 6% of the president's plan goes to roads and bridges.

01:28:40.000 Wow.

01:28:45.000 It's a liberal wish list of big government waste, plus the biggest job killing tax hikes in a generation.

01:28:55.000 Experts say when all is said and done, it would lower wages of the average American worker and shrink our economy.

01:29:04.000 Tonight, we also heard about a so called family plan, even more taxing.

01:29:11.000 Even more spending to put Washington even more in the middle of your life from the cradle.

01:29:18.000 To college.

01:29:19.000 The beauty of the American dream is that families get to define it for themselves.

01:29:26.000 We should be expanding opportunities and options for all families, not throwing money at certain issues because Democrats think they know best.

01:29:36.000 Infrastructure spending that shrinks our economy is not common sense.

01:29:41.000 Weakening our southern borders and creating a crisis is not compassionate.

01:29:47.000 The president is also abandoning principles he's held for decades.

01:29:51.000 Now he says your tax dollars should fund abortions.

01:29:56.000 He's laying groundwork to pack the Supreme Court.

01:30:00.000 This is not common ground.

01:30:05.000 Nowhere do we need common ground more desperately than in our discussions of race.

01:30:12.000 I have experienced a string of discrimination. 0.99

01:30:16.000 Oh, shut up. 0.96

01:30:16.000 I know what it feels like to be pulled over for no reason, to be followed around a store while I'm shopping. 0.96

01:30:24.000 I remember every morning at the kitchen table, my grandfather would open the newspaper and read.

01:30:29.000 Read it, I thought.

01:30:31.000 But later I realized he had never learned to read it.

01:30:34.000 He just wanted to set the right example.

01:30:37.000 I've also experienced a different kind of intolerance.

01:30:41.000 I get called Uncle Tom and the N word by progressives, by liberals.

01:30:46.000 Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family's poverty was actually privilege.

01:30:54.000 Because a relative owned land generations before.

01:30:57.000 Thanks, this is so can believe me.

01:31:00.000 I know firsthand.

01:31:01.000 Our healing.

01:31:03.000 Is not finished.

01:31:05.000 In two thousand and fifteen, after the shooting of Walter Scott, I really built a fun body cameras.

01:31:10.000 Last year, after the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, I built an even bigger police reform proposal.

01:31:18.000 But my Democratic colleagues blocked it.

01:31:21.000 I extended an olive branch.

01:31:22.000 I offered amendments, but Democrats used a filibuster to block the debate from even happening.

01:31:29.000 My friends across the aisle seemed to want the issue.

01:31:33.000 More than they wanted a solution.

01:31:36.000 But I'm still working.

01:31:38.000 I'm hopeful that this will be different.

01:31:41.000 When America comes together, we've made tremendous progress.

01:31:45.000 But powerful forces want to pull us apart.

01:31:48.000 A hundred years ago, kids in classrooms were taught the color of their skin was their most important characteristic.

01:31:55.000 And if they looked a certain way, they were inferior.

01:31:59.000 Today, kids are being taught that the color of their skin defines them again.

01:32:05.000 And if they look a certain way, they're an oppressor.

01:32:08.000 From colleges to corporations to our culture, people are making money and gaining power by pretending we haven't made any progress at all, by doubling down on the divisions we've worked so hard to heal.

01:32:23.000 You know, this stuff is wrong.

01:32:25.000 Hear me clearly America is not a racist country.

01:32:31.000 It's backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination.

01:32:36.000 And it's wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down.

01:32:42.000 Debates in the present.

01:32:44.000 I'm an African American who has voted in the South my entire life.

01:32:49.000 I take voting rights personally.

01:32:51.000 Republicans support making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

01:32:57.000 And so do the voters.

01:32:59.000 Big majorities of Americans support early voting, and big majorities support voter ID, including African Americans and Hispanics.

01:33:08.000 Common sense makes common ground.

01:33:11.000 But today, this conversation has collapsed.

01:33:16.000 The state of Georgia.

01:33:17.000 Passed a law that expands early voting, preserves no excuse mail in voting, and despite what the president claimed, did not reduce election day hours.

01:33:29.000 If you actually read this law, it's mainstream.

01:33:33.000 It will be easier to vote early in Georgia than in Democrat run New York.

01:33:39.000 But the left doesn't want you to know that.

01:33:42.000 They want people virtue signaling by yelling about a law they haven't even read.

01:33:48.000 Fact checkers have called out the White House for misstatements.

01:33:52.000 The president absurdly claims that this is worse than Jim Crow.

01:33:57.000 What is going on here?

01:34:00.000 I'll tell you a Washington power grab.

01:34:04.000 This misplaced outrage is supposed to justify Democrats' new sweeping bill that would take over elections for all 50 states.

01:34:13.000 It would send public funds to political campaigns you disagree with and make the bipartisan Federal Elections Commission partisan.

01:34:23.000 This is not about civil rights or our racial past.

01:34:26.000 It's about wreaking elections in the future.

01:34:31.000 And no, the same filibuster that President Obama and President Biden praised when they were senators, the same filibuster that the Democrats used to kill my police reform bill last year, has not suddenly become a racist relic just because the state is now.

01:34:48.000 Great point.

01:34:49.000 Wow.

01:34:50.000 This is not a political war. 1.00

01:34:51.000 Democrats are so hypocritical. 0.99

01:34:52.000 Every issue the way one side wants. 1.00

01:34:55.000 It's far too important.

01:34:58.000 Wow, this should be a joyful springtime for our nation.

01:35:02.000 This administration inherited a tide that had already turned.

01:35:06.000 The coronavirus is on the run.

01:35:09.000 Thanks to Operation Warp Speed and the Trump administration, our country is flooded with safe and effective vaccines.

01:35:17.000 Thanks to our bipartisan work last year, job openings are rebounding.

01:35:22.000 So why do we?

01:35:24.000 Feel so divided.

01:35:26.000 Anxious.

01:35:28.000 A nation with so much cause for hope should not feel so heavy laden.

01:35:35.000 A president who promised to bring us together should not be pushing agendas that would tear us apart.

01:35:43.000 The American family deserves better.

01:35:46.000 And we know what better looks like.

01:35:48.000 Just before COVID, we had the most inclusive economy in my lifetime, the lowest unemployment rates ever recorded.

01:35:56.000 African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, and a 70 year low nearly for women.

01:36:03.000 Wages were, hear me, wages were growing faster at the bottom than at the top. 0.99

01:36:08.000 Oh, good.

01:36:10.000 And the bottom 25% saw their wages go faster than the top 25%. 0.99

01:36:14.000 That's fucking phony. 0.98

01:36:15.000 That happened because Republicans focused on expanding opportunity for all Americans. 0.99

01:36:21.000 In addition to that, we passed opportunity zones, criminal justice reform, and Permanent funding for historically black colleges and universities for the first time ever.

01:36:34.000 We fought the drug epidemic, rebuilt our military and cut taxes for working families and single moms like the one that raised me.

01:36:42.000 Our best future will not come from Washington schemes or socialist dreams.

01:36:47.000 It will come from you, the American people, black, Hispanic, white and Asian Republican and Democrat, brave police officers and black neighborhoods.

01:36:58.000 We are not adversaries.

01:37:01.000 We are family.

01:37:02.000 We are all in this together, and we get to live in the greatest country on earth.

01:37:10.000 The country where my grandfather, in his 94 years, saw his family go from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.

01:37:20.000 So I am more than hopeful. 0.66

01:37:23.000 I am confident that our finest hour is yet to come.

01:37:28.000 Original sin is never the end of the story.

01:37:32.000 Not in our souls.

01:37:34.000 Wow.

01:37:34.000 And not for our nation.

01:37:35.000 Wow.

01:37:37.000 The real story is always redemption. 1.00

01:37:40.000 Oh, fuck off. 1.00

01:37:41.000 I'm standing here because my mom has prayed me through some really tough times. 1.00

01:37:48.000 I believe our nation has succeeded the same way because generations of Americans in their own ways have asked for grace and God has supplied it.

01:37:58.000 So I will close with a word from a worship song that really helped me through this past year of COVID.

01:38:05.000 The music is new, but the words draw from Scripture.

01:38:10.000 May the Lord bless you and keep you, make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

01:38:18.000 May his presence go before you and behind you and beside you in your weeping and your rejoicing.

01:38:25.000 Wow.

01:38:27.000 It's for you.

01:38:28.000 May his favor be upon our nation for a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children.

01:38:39.000 Good night and God bless the United States.

01:38:43.000 And there you have the Republican response to President Biden.

01:38:46.000 What a joke, dude.

01:38:46.000 Wow.

01:38:48.000 What a.

01:38:51.000 You know, and this only vindicates what I've been saying for years, which is that the minute, the second that Trump leaves office, and even before, it happened three weeks before, two weeks before Trump left office, the Republican Party is going to snap right back to the same status quo.

01:39:10.000 I said that for years.

01:39:12.000 And I said that we have got to prepare for that a long civil war between the Trump supporters, the America Firsters, and the GOP.

01:39:22.000 And there it is right there.

01:39:23.000 The rebuttal, which is an institution, this is like a fixture in politics, representative of where the party is.

01:39:31.000 They picked Tim Scott, a token black senator, to appeal to young people and to non white people. 0.64

01:39:40.000 And this is supposed to present the GOP as representative of all Americans, which means pandering to blacks, pandering to non white people. 0.63

01:39:48.000 So his selection alone, his selection alone, and that's. 0.89

01:39:53.000 Everyone knows that's what they're doing.

01:39:55.000 His selection alone proves that.

01:39:57.000 And then he goes on and gives a speech about America's original sin of slavery and America's not racist and I'm black and people were racist against me and the GOP's not racist because we tried to outdo BLM with our police reform.

01:40:13.000 Not one word about illegal immigration, not one word about the war with Russia that's looming overhead, not one word about the gas prices, about the inflation.

01:40:24.000 About none of it. 0.88

01:40:25.000 Now, one word about the BLM stuff.

01:40:27.000 What happened just this week with LeBron James and the BLM riots flaring up again?

01:40:32.000 Derek Chauvin.

01:40:35.000 Democrats are spending a lot of money cradle to college.

01:40:38.000 Shut the f.

01:40:39.000 This is the Heritage Foundation rebuttal.

01:40:42.000 And those kinds of interests are once again, if they ever weren't, fully in control of the GOP.

01:40:50.000 And this is what we're going to get now.

01:40:51.000 This is what we're going to get in 2022, 2024.

01:40:54.000 And let's be totally clear.

01:40:56.000 I am not a Republican, okay?

01:40:58.000 I am not a Republican.

01:41:00.000 I am America first.

01:41:01.000 I have been a Trump supporter for four years, and I still am.

01:41:05.000 That didn't make me a Republican then.

01:41:07.000 I'm not a Republican now.

01:41:09.000 And do not be fooled, because this is what they're trying to do.

01:41:12.000 They used Trump's posture as the Republican President of the United States to assimilate the Trump base into the Republican Party, to assimilate Trump supporters who were disenfranchised Republicans, independents, and some Democrats, to assimilate them into the same GOP.

01:41:30.000 It was an interesting trick because Trump ran as an insurgent against 17 other Republicans, and then he ran against Hillary Clinton, the Democrat, and he won.

01:41:40.000 And it was the people overthrowing both parties, overthrowing the establishment GOP and the Democratic Party, rejecting system politics altogether.

01:41:49.000 So, what did the system do?

01:41:51.000 The Republican Party said, oh, we like Trump, yes.

01:41:56.000 And that's how, who's the attorney general towards the end?

01:42:01.000 Bill Barr, right?

01:42:02.000 That's how Bill Barr becomes suddenly a based figure who's smugly drinking his coffee during the hearing.

01:42:08.000 And suddenly, people associate Bill Barr and his smugness with Trump.

01:42:12.000 With Trump's attitude.

01:42:13.000 And that's how people begin to associate Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and Mitch McConnell and Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett and the Federalist Society and all these other institutions with Donald Trump.

01:42:24.000 And so now that Trump has winded down and ramped down, he's no longer president.

01:42:29.000 Now all these people, it's like it's the old switcheroo.

01:42:32.000 Now all these people that were Trump supporters, it's like, oh, well, hey, conveniently, we don't have Trump, but we got Tim Scott.

01:42:39.000 And it was actually perfect because Trump played right along with it.

01:42:42.000 Trump ran as a Republican in 2020.

01:42:45.000 And I told you this, a good friend of mine said to me recently, so I didn't come up with this.

01:42:49.000 He said, in 2016, Trump ran as an independent.

01:42:52.000 In 2020, Trump ran as a Republican.

01:42:54.000 And he did. 0.51

01:42:55.000 He played into the same old lowest black unemployment, tax cuts, pro Israel stuff that Republicans usually do. 0.67

01:43:02.000 And he played the part.

01:43:04.000 And now the Trump base was converted from, you know, Bush did the Iraq war and lied, and 9 11 happened under him, and we're going to give an equal view to Palestine and Israel, and the trade deals are terrible, and we're going to build a wall and ban all Muslims, to now saying, We love Tim Scott.

01:43:21.000 We're not racist.

01:43:22.000 We're definitely not racist.

01:43:23.000 And we love our base black senator.

01:43:26.000 So be on guard.

01:43:27.000 Be on guard.

01:43:29.000 You're not a Republican.

01:43:30.000 I'm not a Republican. 1.00

01:43:31.000 Fuck the GOP. 1.00

01:43:33.000 We are going to destroy the GOP. 1.00

01:43:35.000 We are going to destroy the Republican Party and replace it with the true party of Trump.

01:43:41.000 But this is not it.

01:43:42.000 Tim Scott is not it.

01:43:44.000 Marco Rubio is not it.

01:43:45.000 None of these people.

01:43:48.000 So don't be fooled because that's exactly what they want you to do.

01:43:50.000 They want you to go, oh, well, we don't have Trump anymore.

01:43:54.000 It's sort of like Pepsi and Coke.

01:43:56.000 Can I get a Pepsi?

01:43:57.000 Oh, we actually have Coke.

01:43:58.000 Is that okay?

01:44:00.000 We don't have Trump, but how about Tim Scott and Marco Rubio?

01:44:02.000 Is that okay?

01:44:03.000 No, it isn't.

01:44:04.000 No, it isn't.

01:44:05.000 It was Trump and everyone else. 1.00

01:44:07.000 Everyone else still sucks. 1.00

01:44:09.000 They did then, they did during Trump, and they do now after Trump. 0.99

01:44:12.000 So don't fall into this trap of, oh, based Kemp, even, hey, based DeSantis, based Holly.

01:44:21.000 I don't buy it.

01:44:22.000 I don't believe it with any, honestly, with any one of them.

01:44:24.000 And some are better than others.

01:44:26.000 Some are better than others.

01:44:28.000 And I like DeSantis, but nobody is like Trump.

01:44:31.000 Nobody.

01:44:32.000 Not one.

01:44:33.000 So don't anybody start thinking we're going to find the next Trump from the lot of politicians because we're not.

01:44:39.000 We're not going to find another Trump from any one of them, no matter how good they are.

01:44:43.000 And there are some good ones.

01:44:44.000 DeSantis has been somewhat stellar so far.

01:44:47.000 And I don't know, I heard some not so good things about this social media bill.

01:44:50.000 Not confirmed yet, but I'll tell you about it if I get it confirmed.

01:44:55.000 We like DeSantis, and he's one of the better ones, but he's a politician.

01:44:58.000 And we'll see.

01:44:59.000 Maybe he'll prove himself.

01:45:00.000 Maybe he'll prove that he's different.

01:45:03.000 But what I feel right now is it's Trump and it's everyone else.

01:45:07.000 No one, no one other than Trump.

01:45:09.000 Not his son, not his daughter, not his son in law, not Rudy Giuliani, not Linwood, and not in this weird MAGA world type people, and not the politicians.

01:45:20.000 It was Trump and everyone else.

01:45:21.000 So don't be fooled.

01:45:22.000 And oh, now we're based, now we're going to go find somebody else.

01:45:29.000 Original sin of slavery. 0.96

01:45:31.000 Give me a break.

01:45:33.000 Ryan Gurdusky, I see on the timeline saying Tim Scott is actually really solid.

01:45:37.000 So let's see what Ryan Gurdusky's record is, okay?

01:45:39.000 Marco Rubio, JD Vance, and Tim Scott.

01:45:42.000 Marco Rubio, the neocon New American Century.

01:45:46.000 Does that sound familiar?

01:45:48.000 That was his 2016 slogan.

01:45:50.000 It also happens to be Project for New American Century.

01:45:53.000 That's a neocon group that was pushing for war in Iraq in 2003, right?

01:45:58.000 Marco Rubio, who ran against Christ in the primary back in, I think it was 2012, and said he was against Amnesty, and that's how he won the primary, and then he was Gang of Eight.

01:46:09.000 Remember?

01:46:11.000 Little Marco.

01:46:13.000 So we got Ryan Grodusky that likes Marco Rubio.

01:46:17.000 He likes JD Vance from American Enterprise Institute, from CNN, the guy that loves Obama so much, loves Barack Hussein Obama so much, and he wrote an op ed in the New York Times.

01:46:27.000 And in an interview in The Guardian, he said that conservatives hated him because he was black and they were jealous of a smart Negro, basically.

01:46:34.000 I mean, that's basically what he said. 1.00

01:46:36.000 And then the guy votes for Evan McMullen, the CIA handpicked Bill Crystal candidate, the former CIA agent, and called Trump a racist idiot. 1.00

01:46:44.000 That's the other one for Sand in Ohio. 1.00

01:46:46.000 Oh, he's better than all the others. 0.99

01:46:48.000 Well, so they all suck then. 0.99

01:46:51.000 And Tim Scott. 0.99

01:46:53.000 Tim Scott, BLM neocon, Libertarian, who said during the Capitol riots, it was so bad, attack on our democracy.

01:47:04.000 That's the populist nationalist lineup.

01:47:06.000 Yeah, pass.

01:47:08.000 That's the populist, Inc., populist nationalist lineup.

01:47:08.000 Pass.

01:47:11.000 I think I'm going to pass.

01:47:16.000 I'm fuming.

01:47:18.000 This is politics without Trump.

01:47:20.000 Never forget vessel for global special interests and nothing more. 1.00

01:47:25.000 These people suck. 1.00

01:47:27.000 Everything that's going on in the country, and that's the shit that we got. 1.00

01:47:30.000 This canned, canned, phony speech, corny performance about America's original sin. 0.99

01:47:41.000 Todd Starnes, who I normally like, tweets What an incredibly powerful, inspirational, and hopeful message from Tim Scott.

01:47:47.000 Excellent response to Biden's Dark Winter in America speech.

01:47:53.000 Really?

01:47:54.000 I like Todd Starnes, normally.

01:47:58.000 What a joke. 1.00

01:48:02.000 Country sucks, man. 1.00

01:48:06.000 Oh, is this a Democrat? 1.00

01:48:07.000 What is this now?

01:48:12.000 Go to college.

01:48:13.000 That is transformational.

01:48:15.000 On the other hand, I would think his own politics himself is transitional to another.

01:48:19.000 So he's just commenting on this, okay?

01:48:21.000 You know, Rahm Emanuel's missing a finger because the mob cut it off.

01:48:25.000 I don't know if people know that.

01:48:26.000 He used to be the mayor of Chicago, so everyone in Chicago knows that.

01:48:30.000 Look at his hand.

01:48:31.000 See, he's got his middle finger cut off.

01:48:34.000 See, look, look.

01:48:38.000 And the rumor is that the mob cut it off because he wouldn't do what they told him to.

01:48:45.000 See, it's so weird.

01:48:47.000 Anyway, Rahm Emanuel's Jewish, by the way.

01:48:50.000 So, anyway.

01:48:53.000 So that's your joint address or your address to the joint session of Congress.

01:49:03.000 And that's your response.

01:49:05.000 Honestly, I don't know which is worse.

01:49:06.000 I think the Tim Scott one is worse, actually.

01:49:08.000 Because, you know, Biden is a perfect Democrat. 1.00

01:49:11.000 Tim Scott sucks. 0.99

01:49:13.000 You know, he might as well be a Democrat. 1.00

01:49:14.000 That might as well have been the Democratic response to the Democratic joint session of Congress address, right?

01:49:22.000 So Joe Biden totally doesn't get it.

01:49:24.000 I mean, we are really in for some hard times in the next.

01:49:27.000 Four years because the economy is going to be destroyed by these policies capital gains tax, income tax, corporate tax.

01:49:35.000 Because think of it this way.

01:49:37.000 So let's say you're a small business owner.

01:49:40.000 First, you get taxed as a corporation, right?

01:49:44.000 You get taxed at 28% as a corporation.

01:49:48.000 Then you pay yourself.

01:49:50.000 You get taxed if you're in the top tax bracket at 39%.

01:49:54.000 Then you invest your money, you pull it out, and you get taxed 40% on the gains.

01:50:01.000 Then you take the money that you earn and you spend it on housing and you pay property tax.

01:50:07.000 And then, whatever you don't spend on that, you go and you buy your consumer goods, and then you're going to pay a tax on gas.

01:50:13.000 You're going to pay a tax on sales.

01:50:16.000 You're going to pay a tax on if it's some kind of what do they call the taxes for liquor and cigarettes?

01:50:27.000 What the hell is it called?

01:50:28.000 I forget.

01:50:29.000 I know the word, but it's on my tongue, but it escapes me right now.

01:50:33.000 Then you pay that tax, right?

01:50:38.000 And then the money that you keep, you put it in a bank account, and then you don't.

01:50:42.000 Make any juice on it.

01:50:43.000 You make no interest because interest rates are zero.

01:50:46.000 And while it's sitting in your bank account making zero interest, your cash, inflation is destroying the value of it.

01:50:52.000 So every year, dramatically, you have less buying power with the dollars in your bank account.

01:50:58.000 So, I mean, it's just like a giant black hole.

01:51:01.000 Why would anyone work?

01:51:02.000 Why would anyone be productive?

01:51:04.000 You work and you don't get anything for it.

01:51:06.000 You work really, really hard.

01:51:08.000 You make a business, you make money, and you really don't get that much out of it because at every step of the way, government's taking from you.

01:51:16.000 Every step of the way from corporate, from payroll, from income tax, from capital gains tax, from sales tax, from what the hell is it called?

01:51:28.000 You get no interest, excise tax.

01:51:31.000 That's what I was thinking of.

01:51:32.000 Excise tax.

01:51:34.000 No interest.

01:51:35.000 You make no interest on your savings, property tax.

01:51:39.000 And then when all is said and done, inflation is destroying the value of your dollar.

01:51:45.000 So then, why would anyone work?

01:51:47.000 Why would anyone work then if you make no money?

01:51:49.000 Half the people in this country don't pay tax.

01:51:53.000 And yeah, a small percentage of that is like your rich, rich corporations.

01:51:57.000 You know who else doesn't pay tax?

01:51:58.000 Poor people.

01:52:00.000 Poor people pay no tax.

01:52:02.000 And there's a lot of people that don't pay tax.

01:52:04.000 And Mitt Romney said it in 12, and I hate Mitt Romney, but he was right about this.

01:52:08.000 He said there's 47% of people in this country that don't pay tax.

01:52:11.000 And he's right, they don't pay taxes.

01:52:14.000 Think about that.

01:52:15.000 They eat, they get health care, you know, all this stuff that they get educated, they get all the vital public services that we do.

01:52:23.000 But they don't pay tax.

01:52:25.000 The people that pay tax are the people that work, the people that start businesses, the people that invest their money wisely, the people that are productive.

01:52:33.000 And all those activities are what produce the things that you see around you.

01:52:39.000 People are going to stop making the things around us.

01:52:41.000 I mean, why bother, right?

01:52:43.000 Why bother making things if you don't get paid for it, if there's no incentive?

01:52:48.000 And they talk so glowingly about our public services. 0.99

01:52:51.000 These public services suck. 0.97

01:52:54.000 You know, the money is wasted. 0.99

01:52:55.000 Every time government invests money, it gets wasted.

01:52:59.000 And I know a lot of like, a lot of dissent and right people are very delusional. 0.97

01:53:03.000 In case you haven't noticed, the government sucks at like everything it does.

01:53:08.000 And look, that can change, but you need that to be a part of the program. 0.86

01:53:12.000 Anti corruption and the revolving door in politics.

01:53:16.000 You need to be able to fire people.

01:53:17.000 You need to destroy unions.

01:53:19.000 You know, there's a lot of things that need to be done on a systemic level for government to become efficient.

01:53:24.000 It can be efficient.

01:53:25.000 You can get good government that's efficacious.

01:53:28.000 But that has to be a part of it.

01:53:30.000 That's not what we're getting here. 0.89

01:53:31.000 You know, some people, they're like, well, good, you know, because I know a lot of dissent and right people are more left wing economically, but the government still sucks. 0.96

01:53:38.000 It doesn't have to suck, like Republicans say, that government necessarily is corrupt and inefficient and incompetent. 0.52

01:53:45.000 We can break and restore government, but that has to be the program.

01:53:50.000 Anti corruption, bust up the unions, you've got to be able to fire people.

01:53:54.000 Fundamentally, you need some kind of autocratic leadership, you need a total cleaning of the house.

01:53:58.000 That's not a part of this.

01:53:59.000 So all this money is being funneled into the pockets of government cronies.

01:54:04.000 He's being funneled into public sector unions and their pensions, bloated government waste.

01:54:09.000 The money's just being flushed down the drain.

01:54:12.000 They're taking it from bloated corporate special interests that don't do anything, and they're giving it to bloated public sector people that don't do anything and government contractors.

01:54:23.000 And all of this is just a big payoff.

01:54:25.000 At the end of the day, it's just a big Ponzi scheme.

01:54:27.000 It's just a big payoff for the people that are connected.

01:54:30.000 You know who's going to make money from this?

01:54:32.000 The people that get the $5 trillion in government contracts, the people that run the daycares, that run the schools.

01:54:39.000 The people in these institutions that are left wing, they're the ones that are going to be rewarded for all of this.

01:54:44.000 You know, when they say we're going to spend $2 trillion on the family plan and $2 trillion on the COVID bailout and $2 trillion on the jobs plan and the infrastructure plan, where do you think that's money going?

01:54:55.000 You think it's cash transfers?

01:54:56.000 You think they're going to say, hey, here, here's $20,000 for everybody to go and get whatever they want?

01:55:01.000 No, it's going to go to institutions.

01:55:03.000 It's going to go to contractors.

01:55:04.000 It's going to go to public sector institutions.

01:55:07.000 It's going to go to bureaucracy to administer all of this.

01:55:11.000 And People are going to be taking a cut.

01:55:14.000 Every dollar that's going to be paid out from this $5 trillion, you can bet there's a crony skimming off the top.

01:55:20.000 And a lot of it's going to go to their allies, to the workers, to the pensions and everything.

01:55:25.000 But it's just like a big payoff for all the people that made the Biden election possible.

01:55:30.000 Big payoff for all the left wing political allies.

01:55:34.000 Do people really believe?

01:55:36.000 Have you ever been to a government office?

01:55:38.000 Do people really believe that this government is going to take this $5 trillion and really create a country that's competitive with China?

01:55:46.000 It's not.

01:55:47.000 It's going to pay for Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate. 0.98

01:55:52.000 It's going to pay for giant corporations' payoffs. 0.92

01:55:56.000 That's what it's going to go towards.

01:56:02.000 So, and that's really what it is at the end of the day it's a looting.

01:56:06.000 Our country is being looted.

01:56:08.000 That's what Democrats excel at.

01:56:10.000 Take a look at Biden's cabinet.

01:56:12.000 The Democrats like the Republicans, but Democrats are just, you know, they're more of this.

01:56:17.000 It's just about the people that put up the money for the campaigns looting the wealth of the country.

01:56:24.000 Taking money from, because that's what it is.

01:56:26.000 Government gets to tax.

01:56:29.000 You've got 300 million people, you've got a continent that spans from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and the American government has the monopoly on the ability to forcibly take the gains of all the production that happens in this place from these people.

01:56:44.000 They alone have the monopoly on doing that.

01:56:47.000 So the government as an institution is captured by interests.

01:56:51.000 The government, as an institution, the institution that has the license to steal, is captured by corporations, captured by billionaires, millionaires.

01:57:01.000 Because all you have to do to control government, government, the institution which has, they alone have the ticket, the license to just take what they want, they own the bank, right?

01:57:12.000 Government is being bought and paid for when they put up the money for the elections, and then the representatives and everybody choose the bureaucrats by the corporate interests.

01:57:21.000 And the corporate interests, with their tentacles all around the government, use the government's license to steal to loot the people in the country, loot the cities, loot workers, businesses, individuals, and use it to funnel into their businesses, loot it to fund their estates, their yachts, their everything.

01:57:42.000 That's what that is.

01:57:43.000 Because it costs.

01:57:45.000 A lot less to pay for a campaign than the benefit that you get from a representative presiding over the appropriations process of the U.S. federal government.

01:57:56.000 It's that simple calculation.

01:57:59.000 How much does it cost to rig the electoral system versus how much does a company stand to gain from the appropriations process in Congress?

01:58:08.000 Because Congress appropriates $4 to $5 trillion per year.

01:58:13.000 It does not cost $4 to $5 trillion.

01:58:16.000 For every election that happens in the House, Senate, and White House, does not come close.

01:58:21.000 And it's $4 to $5 trillion per year.

01:58:24.000 So you think about it this way: Senator is in office for six years, Representative, you know, a congressperson, is in office for two years, President is in office for four years.

01:58:36.000 So at the minimum, you're getting, let's say, a legislator or a president for two years.

01:58:44.000 So that's $4 to $5 trillion per year for two years, that's $8 to $10 trillion.

01:58:50.000 So, you're putting up money for the whole government, and it doesn't come close to $4 to $5 trillion in one year, let alone $8 to $10 trillion over the lifetime of one congressperson, let alone the, what would that be, $16 to $20 trillion over the course of a presidency, or the $24 to $30 trillion over the lifetime of a senator.

01:59:18.000 Does it cost between $26 and $30 trillion to buy?

01:59:23.000 All the Senate races in America?

01:59:26.000 No.

01:59:27.000 It doesn't come close. 0.81

01:59:28.000 But that is the pile of money that senators have say over the distribution of it.

01:59:37.000 And legislators and the president.

01:59:39.000 And the president even more so because the president drafts the budget, right?

01:59:43.000 And the president controls the bureaucracy.

01:59:46.000 So that's ultimately, right?

01:59:49.000 That's why the government is the way that it is.

01:59:51.000 So in order to do any of these things, in order to make America great again, we have got to liberate our government from global.

01:59:56.000 Special interests.

01:59:57.000 We have got to liberate the government from that process.

02:00:01.000 We have got to get people in charge that are more powerful than the corporations.

02:00:08.000 We have to make the corporations beholden to a state and the state beholden to the people or a state that exercises the will of the people.

02:00:15.000 That's what has to happen before anything good can come.

02:00:20.000 Because right now, you know, they say we're against autocracy or whatever.

02:00:26.000 We have an illiberal.

02:00:27.000 Government.

02:00:28.000 We have a government that is not representative of the people, that is not of, by, and for the people.

02:00:33.000 And it doesn't matter that we don't have a king or a dictator.

02:00:36.000 It's faceless, nameless bureaucrats behind a totally opaque and complicated process that only lawyers can understand that are ruling the country like an autocracy would.

02:00:46.000 Sclerotic oligarchy is what we have.

02:00:52.000 And, you know, so none of this is going to work.

02:00:56.000 We're just going to become poor.

02:00:58.000 We're going to have less stuff.

02:01:00.000 And the stuff that we get is going to be worse.

02:01:03.000 And Republicans, you know, and that the response to it is well, we can overcome our original sin of slavery.

02:01:09.000 Thank you, Republican Party, for reminding us of slavery.

02:01:11.000 Something that every country since the beginning of time has had.

02:01:16.000 All right.

02:01:17.000 But anyway, that's a speech.

02:01:18.000 That's a speech.

02:01:19.000 That's what politics is now.

02:01:21.000 Without Trump, that's what politics is.

02:01:24.000 Trump came in, blew up the whole system. 1.00

02:01:26.000 Look at this pig on the right. 1.00

02:01:26.000 Look at this idiot. 1.00

02:01:30.000 Look at these two bozos. 1.00

02:01:31.000 Look at this guy on the left, emasculated.

02:01:33.000 Look at his cool glasses.

02:01:36.000 Jeez.

02:01:37.000 What a joke.

02:01:39.000 These are the kinds of people that are going to make America great, really?

02:01:46.000 People are not serious.

02:01:49.000 Look at this absolute dog on the right.

02:01:52.000 Jeez. 1.00

02:01:54.000 She should get married and have kids. 1.00

02:01:56.000 She's trying to look like a younger woman. 1.00

02:01:58.000 Oh, wow. 1.00

02:01:58.000 Look at her nails. 1.00

02:01:59.000 Look at how they're.

02:02:00.000 Wow.

02:02:02.000 Really distracts from the fact that she's probably in her mid 30s, right? 1.00

02:02:05.000 I totally couldn't tell because of her purple glasses and her stylish painted nails and her cute top. 0.97

02:02:12.000 Wow. 1.00

02:02:12.000 I almost couldn't tell that she's pushing like 38 and ugly. 1.00

02:02:16.000 Almost couldn't tell. 1.00

02:02:18.000 She's an old maid. 1.00

02:02:21.000 Hey, and by the way, are these people in the same house? 1.00

02:02:21.000 Look at how. 1.00

02:02:25.000 Look at these drones, man.

02:02:26.000 Look at how they have the exact same background.

02:02:29.000 They live, I don't know, do they live in the same house?

02:02:31.000 Look at how the background is exactly the same.

02:02:35.000 White bookcase with the same look, photograph, photograph, knickknack, knickknacks, right?

02:02:42.000 The same books.

02:02:45.000 Wow.

02:02:47.000 Two brainiacs.

02:02:48.000 Wow, they must be doing a lot of reading.

02:02:50.000 You think he uses that a lot?

02:02:50.000 He's got a typewriter.

02:02:51.000 You think he's doing a lot of typewriter work?

02:02:56.000 Jeez.

02:02:59.000 What a joke.

02:02:59.000 And they got the same trendy glasses.

02:03:03.000 This country is such a clown show. 0.99

02:03:05.000 What a joke. 1.00

02:03:06.000 What a joke of a country.

02:03:07.000 These are the people. 1.00

02:03:08.000 Look at this stupid bitch. 1.00

02:03:12.000 Look at these people. 1.00

02:03:14.000 What the.

02:03:15.000 Okay, can we stop doing that?

02:03:18.000 This is our country.

02:03:19.000 Wow.

02:03:21.000 We're really going to be competitive with China. 0.99

02:03:23.000 Don't bet against these people. 1.00

02:03:24.000 I would never bet against this turd and this one. 0.99

02:03:32.000 Thin lip pig face. 0.97

02:03:33.000 Yeah, I would never bet against this. 0.83

02:03:43.000 Oh my gosh.

02:03:46.000 It's over, man.

02:03:47.000 It's over.

02:03:48.000 It's over.

02:03:49.000 I look at the faces.

02:03:50.000 Look at these faces, and I'm like, yeah, you know what?

02:03:53.000 It's over.

02:03:53.000 Country's over.

02:03:55.000 Pack it up, folks.

02:03:57.000 Game over.

02:03:57.000 We lost.

02:04:00.000 Remember Steve McQueen?

02:04:01.000 Remember John Wayne?

02:04:02.000 Huh?

02:04:03.000 Anybody remember John Wayne and Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood?

02:04:06.000 Remember that?

02:04:07.000 Remember when men had jawlines? 1.00

02:04:09.000 Remember when the women were hot? 0.97

02:04:11.000 And if they weren't hot, you know, they were having kids and they were taking care of themselves and weren't drinking wine, they didn't have. 1.00

02:04:16.000 Pudgy birth control face. 0.99

02:04:18.000 Geez, we live in hell.

02:04:25.000 Don't bet against America, Jack.

02:04:28.000 And then you look at these faces and you're like, yeah, wow, these are the faces.

02:04:32.000 This is the face that's going to look at my face. 0.98

02:04:36.000 When the Chinese look up, they see a face like this looking down.

02:04:42.000 Yeah, that's the face of American greatness. 0.85

02:04:44.000 She's going to be the one doing the artificial intelligence research and she's going to look great doing it, sweetie.

02:04:50.000 And hey, sweetie, she's going to look great doing it, painting her nails, putting on her blush.

02:04:55.000 And she's going to look great doing it, sweetie.

02:04:57.000 She's going to do it with class.

02:05:04.000 Game over. 1.00

02:05:06.000 Game over. 0.98

02:05:12.000 Look at the shape of her head. 1.00

02:05:13.000 Jeez. 1.00

02:05:15.000 And her stupid glasses, her stupid hair, and her stupid top, and her necklace, and her stupid nails. 1.00

02:05:31.000 Man. 1.00

02:05:32.000 Pres, say, dent.

02:05:33.000 What?

02:05:35.000 Really serious country.

02:05:36.000 Really serious country with this cartoony.

02:05:39.000 We are an infantilized population.

02:05:41.000 We are a joke population.

02:05:45.000 Yeah, look at that face.

02:05:46.000 Tell me.

02:05:46.000 Tell me that you're not a misogynist.

02:05:48.000 Look at that face.

02:05:50.000 It's a joke.

02:05:50.000 That's a joke.

02:05:52.000 I don't know how you can't feel this way.

02:05:54.000 I don't know how you could look at this and, like, because there's a lot of things now coming around where people say, I'm America first.

02:06:00.000 And, you know, like, let's look up.

02:06:03.000 American moment for a second.

02:06:10.000 Oh, geez.

02:06:11.000 Will Chamberlain.

02:06:12.000 A lot of people look at our country and they say, and they say, this is the solution.

02:06:19.000 They say, in other words, they look at, they survey the damage, okay?

02:06:23.000 They survey the landscape. 0.98

02:06:25.000 They see these black people on spring break in Florida dining and dashing, and naked black women getting in brawls in Fort Lauderdale, and they'd be fighting it. 0.98

02:06:36.000 Chuck E. Cheese, and they see the Forrest vaccinations. 0.97

02:06:39.000 They see people doubling up on masks. 0.98

02:06:42.000 They see roasties like that with the sanpaku eyes and the purple glasses and the birth control face. 1.00

02:06:49.000 You know, they see everything that's going on in the country. 0.97

02:06:52.000 And people think they see all that and they say the problem is we just don't have the right policies.

02:06:59.000 Yeah, no, the problem is not people like that.

02:07:01.000 The problem is not like as fundamental as that. 0.99

02:07:04.000 No, the problem is we need people that look like that.

02:07:07.000 We need the equivalent of her, but on the right.

02:07:10.000 We need a trendy, sort of rustic background, right?

02:07:14.000 With the wood planks, right?

02:07:16.000 The wood paneling, the cheap plastic wood paneling.

02:07:19.000 And we need one of these rustic, right?

02:07:22.000 Lanterns in the back.

02:07:23.000 But on the right, we need sort of like a rustic, hipster, trendy metro backdrop on the right. 0.87

02:07:30.000 And we need, yeah, we need a metro Indian fake smiling, again, with the trendy glasses and with the up talking, the up talking intonation.

02:07:39.000 But on the right, and listen to this guy's voice, okay? 0.90

02:07:42.000 Listen to this guy's voice.

02:07:44.000 Was it when Milo and Pete Milo were publicly saying it's the best thing that's ever happened to me?

02:07:48.000 That's why his website makes no money.

02:07:51.000 Realization that his website was dormant for like eight years or six years or something.

02:07:56.000 And when he took it over, it started oh my goodness.

02:08:01.000 Oh my goodness.

02:08:03.000 Oh my gosh.

02:08:05.000 He took over this dormant website.

02:08:07.000 They were making no content, nobody was running it.

02:08:10.000 For six years, he took over and the Alexa rating went down.

02:08:14.000 Less people view human events than when it was dormant.

02:08:18.000 Look at this guy.

02:08:19.000 Okay.

02:08:20.000 Wait, no, no.

02:08:21.000 I want to hear the other guy talk.

02:08:22.000 That I. Stop.

02:08:24.000 Be fine.

02:08:25.000 Okay, we need to hear the other guy talk.

02:08:27.000 We need to hear the other guy talk.

02:08:33.000 Jeez, man.

02:08:39.000 This is classy.

02:08:40.000 Wow, real classy.

02:08:42.000 Hey, where's my fedora?

02:08:43.000 Hey, hey, excuse me.

02:08:44.000 Where's my fedora?

02:08:45.000 Where's my pipe?

02:08:45.000 See?

02:08:46.000 See?

02:08:47.000 Where's my fedora?

02:08:47.000 This is some classy stuff.

02:08:49.000 All right.

02:08:50.000 Rustic.

02:08:52.000 Howdy, everyone, and welcome to Moment of Truth. 1.00

02:08:52.000 Oh, fuck off. 1.00

02:08:54.000 My name is Saurabh Sharma, the president of American Moment. 1.00

02:08:57.000 And I'm Nick Solheim, the COO of American Moment.

02:08:57.000 And this is what we need.

02:09:01.000 And we have got a fantastic episode for you guys today.

02:09:03.000 We had on David Azra, who's just one of the most fantastic thinkers and commentators out there.

02:09:10.000 Before we get to his bio, though, wanted to talk about a few things.

02:09:12.000 Yeah, this is what we need.

02:09:13.000 This is the solution.

02:09:15.000 That's what we need.

02:09:17.000 There's a better one here.

02:09:18.000 We got to get, I think it's like the first episode.

02:09:20.000 It's just brutal.

02:09:22.000 Oh, no, no, no.

02:09:23.000 Are we going to make fun of Ryan Grodowski?

02:09:25.000 No, I don't think so.

02:09:26.000 Teleporting.

02:09:27.000 That's terrible. 0.98

02:09:28.000 New now as America reports on it.

02:09:31.000 All of this is Sirab Trump.

02:09:33.000 He's the president of American Moment, an organization dedicated.

02:09:36.000 Look at this guy.

02:09:37.000 Yeah, that's what we need. 1.00

02:09:39.000 But some people think, no, we just need basically faggot birth control people. 1.00

02:09:45.000 But on the right, we just need faggot birth control people talking about populism. 1.00

02:09:49.000 Talking about, like, populism? 1.00

02:09:52.000 That's what we need.

02:09:53.000 Into identifying and educating conservative students.

02:09:56.000 Sirab, let's just put up on the screen these various.

02:09:59.000 Commencement ceremonies that Columbia is planning, in addition to one that involves the entire school.

02:10:05.000 Native graduation, then there's a lavender graduation.

02:10:08.000 False. 0.93

02:10:09.000 I mean, what they're trying to do here is to balkanize people along ethnic, gender, racial, and all sorts of other lines.

02:10:16.000 And you know what's really troubling to me about this is that this isn't some obscure school.

02:10:20.000 This is Columbia University, a school that regularly pumps out congressmen, senators, U.S. presidents, and even Supreme Court justices.

02:10:27.000 The idea.

02:10:28.000 And even Supreme Court justices.

02:10:30.000 Wow.

02:10:31.000 People think that that's what we need.

02:10:32.000 People think we need a Tim Scott, a Saurabh Shwarma.

02:10:36.000 You know, we need some other cringe lord.

02:10:39.000 We need some other, you know, one of these people that basically is not a real human being, but just articulating different policies.

02:10:47.000 No, we need to return to greatness.

02:10:49.000 We need to return to real human beings, embracing humanity, embracing the passions of humanity.

02:10:56.000 We need men that are serious.

02:10:58.000 We need men that are masculine.

02:11:01.000 We need women that are women. 0.99

02:11:02.000 You know, it's not going to save the day to just.

02:11:05.000 Oh, well, we've got our answer to what we just saw from CNN.

02:11:09.000 We've got our answer.

02:11:10.000 We've got the same people, but they're saying different things.

02:11:13.000 We got the same people, but they're saying different things.

02:11:15.000 When did you realize that big tech was a problem?

02:11:16.000 I mean, it was.

02:11:17.000 Look at that.

02:11:17.000 Look at this.

02:11:18.000 Look at that look.

02:11:18.000 Look at that look right there.

02:11:20.000 Look at this look.

02:11:20.000 Okay, first of all.

02:11:22.000 Second of all.

02:11:24.000 I mean, it was.

02:11:25.000 Wait, wait, wait.

02:11:27.000 Oh, it's like a microsecond.

02:11:30.000 Yeah, that face.

02:11:31.000 That's what we need.

02:11:32.000 We need more of this face.

02:11:33.000 We need more of this sort of like appeasing, submissive face.

02:11:36.000 That's what we need more of.

02:11:39.000 Anyway, so there you go.

02:11:40.000 That's your Biden address. 0.94

02:11:42.000 That's our gay country. 0.98

02:11:43.000 That's our gay little country. 1.00

02:11:47.000 Tim Scott looks like an otter. 1.00

02:11:48.000 Am I the only one that sees this?

02:11:50.000 Wait, not otter box.

02:11:54.000 Otter.

02:11:59.000 Is it just me?

02:12:01.000 Or does Tim Scott kind of look like this?

02:12:03.000 Or no, not an otter.

02:12:04.000 It's like a seal.

02:12:06.000 A seal, not an otter.

02:12:11.000 Is it just me?

02:12:13.000 He looks and he seal almost looks like a seal, too.

02:12:16.000 I don't know.

02:12:19.000 Do you see it or is it just me?

02:12:27.000 Is it not?

02:12:27.000 Or I mean, what am I thinking of?

02:12:30.000 What am I thinking of here?

02:12:34.000 All right, where's the picture though?

02:12:35.000 Where's the picture?

02:12:36.000 Okay, I mean, is it just me or is there some resemblance there?

02:12:41.000 Here, here we go.

02:12:42.000 It's the shape of his mouth.

02:12:44.000 I think that's what it is.

02:12:49.000 Some are saying walrus?

02:12:50.000 No, I don't think that's it.

02:12:51.000 I think that's a little off.

02:12:57.000 Is it a sea lion?

02:13:01.000 Groundhog, some are saying.

02:13:04.000 I think we're all talking about the same sort of genre of animal.

02:13:09.000 Groundhog.

02:13:11.000 Well, yeah, a little bit.

02:13:15.000 Let me look up sea lion.

02:13:21.000 No, it's a sea lion.

02:13:22.000 Yup, that's what it is.

02:13:23.000 That's it.

02:13:24.000 That's the one.

02:13:26.000 That's the one.

02:13:28.000 Whoa.

02:13:32.000 Yes, yes, there's a picture I'm looking for.

02:13:34.000 Here we go.

02:13:36.000 Now, is it just me?

02:13:39.000 Is it just me?

02:13:40.000 Okay, am I crazy?

02:13:43.000 Or do these two things look exactly the same?

02:13:49.000 Okay, look at this.

02:13:50.000 Now, look at this.

02:13:56.000 Here we go.

02:13:58.000 I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

02:14:04.000 Senator, the Honorable Senator Tim Scott.

02:14:09.000 And now we go to the Honorable Senator Tim Scott with the Republican rebuttal to Joe Biden.

02:14:14.000 Okay, and I see he's about to begin speaking.

02:14:21.000 Oh, oh, wait, never mind.

02:14:23.000 That's a sea lion.

02:14:24.000 I thought that was, I got confused there for a second.

02:14:26.000 Oh, there he is.

02:14:27.000 Oh, there he is.

02:14:28.000 Okay, go on, Tim Scott.

02:14:29.000 Whoops.

02:14:31.000 Minor slight mix up there.

02:14:36.000 All right, anyway.

02:14:37.000 Okay, let's take a look at our super chats.

02:14:39.000 Let's see what you guys are saying about all this.

02:14:41.000 Gotta know.

02:14:43.000 I have to know.

02:14:48.000 Let's take a look.

02:14:50.000 Let's read our super chats.

02:14:51.000 I don't have anything to drink.

02:14:57.000 I got nothing to pull on while I'm reading these super chats.

02:15:01.000 So that makes it harder.

02:15:02.000 Let me log into Entropy real quick.

02:15:06.000 What should I put up on the background while I read these?

02:15:13.000 Let's put up the Trump, let's put up a Trump speech just to feel something, just to feel something again.

02:15:20.000 I just want to feel something again.

02:15:21.000 I don't feel anything, I feel numb.

02:15:33.000 Let's see.

02:15:34.000 This is my favorite speech of all time, I think.

02:15:42.000 Do you remember when Trump said, I alone can fix it?

02:15:46.000 Do you remember that?

02:15:46.000 Where does he say, and it has to change right now?

02:15:53.000 Somewhere around here.

02:15:54.000 Our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

02:15:59.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

02:16:03.000 So true, Tom.

02:16:08.000 Big business, elite media, and major donors are lining up behind the campaign.

02:16:15.000 Here it is.

02:16:16.000 Dude, I'm so good.

02:16:17.000 Because they know she will keep our rigged system in place.

02:16:23.000 Do you remember this?

02:16:25.000 Do you remember how good it was?

02:16:26.000 Do you remember how good things could be? 1.00

02:16:28.000 They're throwing money at her because they have total control over every single thing she does. 1.00

02:16:36.000 She is their puppet. 0.96

02:16:38.000 And they pull the strings.

02:16:40.000 All right, I'll let him say it.

02:16:41.000 I'll let him say it.

02:16:42.000 You don't want to hear me talking over it.

02:16:46.000 They know.

02:16:47.000 Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change.

02:16:52.000 Never ever.

02:16:56.000 My message is that things have to change.

02:17:00.000 And they have to change right now.

02:17:06.000 Dude.

02:17:07.000 You know how amazing that was?

02:17:09.000 And you know what's awesome about that?

02:17:11.000 He says it angrily.

02:17:13.000 You can hear the anger in his voice.

02:17:15.000 No one ever does that.

02:17:17.000 Because politicians, and they talk to their consultants and they talk to their marketing people, and they say, you know, anger doesn't play well in this focus group. 0.99

02:17:25.000 Anger is going to alienate the women and the children.

02:17:28.000 So that's why Tim Scott goes, Good evening.

02:17:32.000 America is starving for an honest conversation and not platitudes.

02:17:38.000 I know that America is not a racist nation.

02:17:41.000 I mean, that's where you get this eerily calm demeanor from people.

02:17:45.000 That's where you get that from.

02:17:46.000 But Anger because Trump doesn't do consultants, he didn't do lobbyists.

02:17:50.000 So he goes, and he's not talking about this Heritage Foundation crap about this president wants to unite us by dividing us.

02:17:58.000 Trump goes, The red, he goes, Elite media corporations have rigged the system, they're throwing money behind her because they pull the strings. 0.98

02:18:09.000 She is their puppet. 1.00

02:18:10.000 They know that they have control over everything she does.

02:18:13.000 Her message is things can't change.

02:18:15.000 My message is things have got to change and they have to change now.

02:18:19.000 And he says it angrily.

02:18:21.000 That's like mind blowing.

02:18:23.000 It melts your brain to imagine how good it used to be that this happened.

02:18:28.000 I mean, it's almost hard to believe that this happened four or five years ago, right?

02:18:34.000 Let's play it once more.

02:18:38.000 Best speech ever. 1.00

02:18:39.000 That's because these interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

02:18:48.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

02:18:53.000 And look at the way he says it.

02:18:54.000 He says it like, and you've got to pay attention to these micro expressions.

02:18:57.000 Look at the way his mouth curves when he says, believe me, it's for their benefit.

02:19:03.000 And he almost does this thing with his mouth where it's like when you're saying something sarcastically.

02:19:07.000 It's like when you're saying, oh, yeah.

02:19:10.000 Watch, watch very closely.

02:19:13.000 That's called authenticity.

02:19:14.000 That's called the real human being.

02:19:17.000 Watch, watch this.

02:19:21.000 Most powerful special interests. 0.99

02:19:25.000 That's because these interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

02:19:33.000 Watch, watch.

02:19:34.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

02:19:37.000 Look at that, look at that.

02:19:38.000 You see that like wrinkle there?

02:19:40.000 He goes, like, yeah.

02:19:42.000 Big business, elite media, and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep.

02:19:54.000 Our rigged system in place. 0.99

02:20:01.000 They are throwing money at her because they have total control over every single thing she does. 1.00

02:20:10.000 She is their puppet and they pull the strings. 0.85

02:20:17.000 And look at that face.

02:20:18.000 You know, that's the other thing, too.

02:20:22.000 That's the other thing I love about Trump this expression.

02:20:25.000 This is the expression of a king, okay?

02:20:28.000 And I'm not.

02:20:29.000 Exaggerating, I'm not memeing.

02:20:30.000 This is the expression of a king.

02:20:32.000 You know, when you look at like Putin, they call this the Russian smile.

02:20:38.000 It's an expression like this.

02:20:41.000 It's sort of like forming a triangle.

02:20:42.000 And Stephen Kotkin wrote about this, I think, or you know what?

02:20:46.000 No, it was Stephen Lee Myers wrote about this in The New Tsar by Putin.

02:20:51.000 He talks about there's a very specific Russian expression.

02:20:55.000 It's a very dry expression which conveys a sort of stoicism.

02:20:59.000 And if you look at Putin, He's got it. 0.98

02:21:02.000 Whenever you see Putin, it's not, you know, you might say it's like a resting bitch face, like an American might say, something like that, I guess. 0.98

02:21:10.000 But it's sort of like this sort of nonplussed expression. 0.98

02:21:15.000 You see, like this, right?

02:21:17.000 Look at that.

02:21:19.000 Very, very similar.

02:21:21.000 And it's an expression that's sort of like blank.

02:21:24.000 It conveys sort of confidence.

02:21:26.000 It's not necessarily a negative expression, but it's a nonplussed expression.

02:21:30.000 It's a stoic expression, which is what a king has.

02:21:33.000 You know what I mean?

02:21:34.000 That's a very king like expression.

02:21:36.000 It's not all smiles.

02:21:37.000 It's not all this kind of stuff.

02:21:42.000 It's this sort of calculating, judging.

02:21:47.000 It's a poker face, is what it is.

02:21:51.000 And Trump, even with the chin up, you know, chin up, it's a proud expression.

02:21:58.000 Our proud and terrible king, Donald Trump.

02:22:03.000 I mean, look at that face. 0.93

02:22:03.000 Right? 0.93

02:22:04.000 That's a face that sort of commands respect.

02:22:06.000 It's a face that says, like, Nonplussed, unflappable.

02:22:12.000 Anyway, I noticed the body language.

02:22:15.000 And by the way, I didn't like read this in a book.

02:22:18.000 It's just intuitive.

02:22:19.000 It's intuitive.

02:22:20.000 You notice these things, it's just a matter of reading these things.

02:22:25.000 I love the hardcore eye contact, too.

02:22:34.000 Watch.

02:22:37.000 Look at his eyes when he says that.

02:22:43.000 My message is that things have to change and they have to change right now.

02:22:50.000 Do you hear that?

02:22:53.000 Do you hear that throaty now?

02:22:55.000 Like it's in his throat.

02:22:56.000 All right, all right.

02:22:58.000 I know.

02:22:59.000 I've done this before.

02:23:00.000 If you've been watching my show, I've done this before.

02:23:03.000 But the point that I'm trying to make is the contrast.

02:23:07.000 I'm trying to show you this is what a real leader looks like.

02:23:10.000 This is what a real human looks like.

02:23:12.000 This is what made Trump so special.

02:23:14.000 It's very important to remind people because I know the Trump administration, in some ways, was a disappointment.

02:23:20.000 I get that.

02:23:21.000 And I know a lot of people are disillusioned with the process, and especially now.

02:23:26.000 The reason why I continue to harp on Trump 16 is because this is the model, this is the archetype.

02:23:32.000 It's the contrast.

02:23:33.000 It shows you what's possible, it shows you what winning can look like.

02:23:38.000 And I know that Trump didn't follow through on everything, but that doesn't take away from the hope and the promise then.

02:23:45.000 That he turned out in some ways to be a flop doesn't negate the optimism, the hope, the miracle that was 2016.

02:23:52.000 It's very important to keep this contrast in mind.

02:23:55.000 Because people are going to settle for less.

02:23:57.000 People are going to settle for, you know, Ryan Gurdusky and Marco Rubio and Tim Scott and JD Vance and Saurabh Shwarma and America First Policy Institute with Brooke Rollins.

02:24:07.000 They're going to settle. 1.00

02:24:08.000 They're going to settle for bullshit. 1.00

02:24:10.000 They're even going to settle for 2021 Trump. 1.00

02:24:13.000 They're going to settle for Trump, you know, making some snarky remark about LeBron James from Mar-a-Lago.

02:24:19.000 Not good enough.

02:24:20.000 We could have had this.

02:24:20.000 Not good enough.

02:24:22.000 And do you remember when Trump used to talk with his hands?

02:24:25.000 I miss that so much.

02:24:28.000 I miss everything about 2016.

02:24:29.000 I mean, that's where the meme magic came from.

02:24:32.000 It's old, but it's still evergreen.

02:24:34.000 It still is.

02:24:36.000 It's still fresh.

02:24:37.000 It's still as good as it was.

02:24:38.000 You could watch this and get a small taste, a shade of what it was like back then.

02:24:44.000 And towards the end, he says some really good stuff, too.

02:24:46.000 Let me see if I can find it.

02:24:49.000 Inside my wife, Melania, and my one that I learned from my youngest age to respect the dignity of work. 1.00

02:25:01.000 Cynics!

02:25:02.000 Here it is, here it is, here it is. 1.00

02:25:04.000 Go to work for you.

02:25:07.000 It's time to deliver a.

02:25:10.000 Here we go.

02:25:11.000 He was also one of the most honest and charitable people that I have ever known and a great, great judge of character.

02:25:21.000 She could pick them out from anywhere.

02:25:27.000 To my sisters, Mary Ann and Elizabeth, my brother, Robert.

02:25:34.000 And my late brother, Fred, I will always give you my love.

02:25:39.000 You are most special to me.

02:25:45.000 I have had a truly great life in business, but now my sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for our country, to go to work for you.

02:26:02.000 It's time to deliver a victory.

02:26:06.000 For the American people, we don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.

02:26:14.000 When I read this speech, I read an excerpt of the speech on the inauguration of Biden.

02:26:22.000 I almost was crying, honestly.

02:26:27.000 But to do that, we must break free from the petty politics of the past.

02:26:35.000 America is a nation of believers.

02:26:39.000 Dreamers and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.

02:26:49.000 Remember, all of the people telling you you can't have the country you want are the same people that wouldn't stand.

02:27:01.000 I mean, they said Trump doesn't have a chance of being here tonight.

02:27:07.000 Oh, we love defeating those people, don't we?

02:27:07.000 The same people.

02:27:12.000 Don't we love defeating those people?

02:27:14.000 Don't we love to hear the newspaper?

02:27:19.000 Love it, love it, love it.

02:27:25.000 No longer can we rely on those same people in the media and politics who will say anything to keep our rigged system in place.

02:27:39.000 Instead, we must choose to believe in America.

02:27:45.000 History is watching us now.

02:27:48.000 We don't have much time, but history is watching.

02:27:52.000 It's waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.

02:28:08.000 Man.

02:28:08.000 Do you remember that?

02:28:14.000 I am asking for your support tonight so that I can be your champion in the White House.

02:28:22.000 And I will be your champion.

02:28:31.000 My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three word loyalty pledge.

02:28:38.000 It reads, I'm with her.

02:28:43.000 I choose to recite a different pledge.

02:28:48.000 My pledge reads, I'm with you, the American people.

02:28:57.000 Don't you remember that, man?

02:29:12.000 I am your voice.

02:29:17.000 So, to every parent.

02:29:18.000 This is the last part, never worrying to sleep with your child.

02:29:21.000 And every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

02:29:38.000 You remember that, man?

02:29:51.000 The best part is when he says, I love you.

02:29:53.000 Let's hear that, and then that'll help me out.

02:29:56.000 To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and in all of our towns, I make this promise.

02:30:06.000 We will make America strong again.

02:30:11.000 We will make America proud again.

02:30:16.000 We will make America safe again.

02:30:22.000 And we will make America great again.

02:30:26.000 God bless you and good night.

02:30:29.000 I love you.

02:30:34.000 Man, and he meant it and he did and he did.

02:30:37.000 I love that.

02:30:38.000 That ending is so Hollywood.

02:30:40.000 That is so Trump.

02:30:42.000 God bless you and good night.

02:30:44.000 That's so, and that's so him, you know?

02:30:46.000 I mean, Biden says, God bless our troops.

02:30:53.000 God bless you and good, and live from New York, right?

02:30:57.000 God bless you and good night.

02:30:59.000 I love you.

02:31:02.000 And they say we're hate.

02:31:04.000 They say we're haters, right?

02:31:05.000 They say, oh, they're spreading hatred. 0.58

02:31:07.000 It's love.

02:31:08.000 It's love.

02:31:09.000 Fierce defense of what we love.

02:31:14.000 Man.

02:31:16.000 And the only reason I show that is again, it's just because he fell short, it doesn't take away from this.

02:31:25.000 You know, and what that means is not like it's, you know, it's partially about Trump.

02:31:30.000 People say, oh, you know, he betrayed you and you still, you know, you still shill for him.

02:31:35.000 It's not about that.

02:31:35.000 It's like he said it's about being a believer, a dreamer, a striver, you know, not a cynic, not a critic.

02:31:44.000 It's about that power of belief.

02:31:46.000 He showed that it's possible, he showed that it can be done.

02:31:51.000 I mean, yeah, he was not alone able to overcome everything against him.

02:31:54.000 No man is.

02:31:55.000 No man alone is powerful enough to overcome everything.

02:31:59.000 That's going against us in the country.

02:32:01.000 No man alone surrounded by horrible people in DC like he was with the security state and the deep state of bureaucracy and all that, and the politicians and the media.

02:32:12.000 You know, one man was not enough to overcome that.

02:32:14.000 But does that really matter?

02:32:16.000 You know, it shows a difference that one guy could make.

02:32:19.000 One guy threw himself in and he meant it.

02:32:21.000 I mean, you could see he meant that in the speech.

02:32:24.000 And even if he didn't, it sounded like he did, right?

02:32:28.000 And even if it's just.

02:32:30.000 For the sake of the dream, for the sake of hope, he showed that it's possible.

02:32:33.000 He showed what's possible.

02:32:36.000 He was still willing to fight for America, didn't give up on America.

02:32:39.000 He was willing to rise above all that, above all the nonsense.

02:32:45.000 And it wasn't easy, but he fought everybody and he came out on top.

02:32:51.000 We are the champions.

02:32:52.000 Remember when he came out on the first night of the convention on Monday?

02:32:59.000 I mean, and that's the part that still gets me when he says, We must choose to believe in America.

02:33:03.000 History is watching.

02:33:04.000 Time.

02:33:04.000 We don't have much.

02:33:07.000 It's waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion and show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.

02:33:14.000 And it's like, don't you feel that?

02:33:16.000 Don't you just feel that?

02:33:17.000 When he said it's time to deliver a victory for the American people, like, because it's true. 0.99

02:33:23.000 I mean, we've been taking a shit for so long. 0.99

02:33:26.000 We have been crushed and stepped on and betrayed and humiliated and embarrassed and just totally abused for so long. 1.00

02:33:34.000 And then to have somebody come along and turn the tables and let them get humiliated for a change.

02:33:39.000 Let them get surprised and defeated and routed and all of that for once.

02:33:44.000 To get laughed at and mocked, and for them to feel afraid for one time, and for someone to say, finally, acknowledge the system is rigged, and for somebody to fire a shot across the bow for the first time against them for once, and because he was a billionaire, he had the means to do it.

02:34:05.000 That was so powerful.

02:34:09.000 And that's what it's about.

02:34:10.000 That's what the Trump Revolution was about.

02:34:12.000 It's not about this MAGA Inc. thing that's been created where you get all these.

02:34:16.000 You know, weirdo boomers going to these things and the same old, same old.

02:34:21.000 It's about that message. 0.93

02:34:21.000 It's about this. 0.93

02:34:24.000 People can never forget that.

02:34:25.000 And don't let this Tim Scott, yeah, it's going to come from G.D. Vance going on Tucker and going, I don't care that they're private companies.

02:34:32.000 Oh, that's so true.

02:34:35.000 Oh my gosh, he said the thing.

02:34:36.000 He said the thing. 0.91

02:34:38.000 Yeah, that fat turd is not going to make America great again. 0.97

02:34:41.000 He doesn't have it in him. 0.99

02:34:43.000 Gosh.

02:34:45.000 Anyway, so.

02:34:49.000 That's what we had.

02:34:50.000 That's what we had.

02:34:51.000 And here we are.

02:34:54.000 Said and done.

02:34:55.000 He won the election.

02:34:57.000 Got in office for four long years.

02:34:59.000 Here we are.

02:35:00.000 Back to where we were before.

02:35:01.000 Back to square one.

02:35:05.000 But hearing those words, our rigged system, I mean, like, it's just night and day.

02:35:10.000 All right.

02:35:11.000 Anyway, let's read the super chats.

02:35:12.000 Let's read the super chats.

02:35:13.000 I could go on about that all night.

02:35:15.000 It makes me crazy.

02:35:18.000 Let's read our super chats.

02:35:19.000 Let's see what you guys are saying about all of this.

02:35:27.000 Resist says, so I says to him, is making me really rethink my stance on censorship.

02:35:32.000 Can a shadowy donor please step up and pay you to ban him from super chatting?

02:35:36.000 How much would it take?

02:35:38.000 We can't ban him.

02:35:39.000 It's part of the fun.

02:35:40.000 It's part of the fun of the show.

02:35:43.000 We've got to take it all, right?

02:35:45.000 Good, bad, ugly.

02:35:49.000 It's part of the appeal.

02:35:51.000 Groyper Protocol says, good to see that you're getting a good amount of support over.

02:35:56.000 Over.

02:35:56.000 Keep up the great work.

02:35:57.000 Question What do you think of the arguments made in the new Pearl Harbor?

02:36:01.000 My hot trad wife and I are watching the documentary, and it is very convincing.

02:36:04.000 Yeah, I think I turned you on to all that.

02:36:07.000 So I agree with the arguments in the documentary.

02:36:09.000 Speczo says maybe circumstantial evidence, but a few normie friends of mine that don't follow you knew about the no fly list situation.

02:36:16.000 Maybe this will end up being a watershed moment that works in our favor.

02:36:20.000 Also, just ordered the new hat.

02:36:21.000 I can't wait.

02:36:22.000 Well, hey, thanks, man.

02:36:23.000 I think you'll look good in it.

02:36:24.000 Is it going to be big enough?

02:36:26.000 It's going to be like when Shaquille O'Neal holds a Coke can, right?

02:36:30.000 When you put the hat on.

02:36:31.000 But yeah, no, it definitely is.

02:36:35.000 I think it definitely could be a watershed moment.

02:36:37.000 They've messed up with this big time.

02:36:40.000 They always have a tendency, these things always have a tendency to backfire if you play it smart.

02:36:45.000 Cool Cheese Guy says Nick is on a no fly list.

02:36:47.000 Well, I guess that means he works for the FBI.

02:36:49.000 So much for optics, right?

02:36:51.000 How do these two correlate?

02:36:53.000 You know, it makes no sense.

02:36:55.000 I'm convinced a lot of this is just paid shilling, you know, because it makes no sense, right?

02:37:02.000 The idea that you could be working, because that's what everybody says.

02:37:04.000 They're like, Ian Miles Chong said this the other day.

02:37:07.000 He's like, doesn't anybody find it weird that Nick was at the Capitol and faced no repercussions?

02:37:12.000 It's like, number one, I did nothing wrong.

02:37:14.000 And number two, I'm not facing no repercussions.

02:37:16.000 They haven't charged me with trespassing because I wasn't in the building.

02:37:20.000 They would have if I was.

02:37:22.000 But they have taken my money and they have put me on a no fly list and they are investigating me.

02:37:26.000 And I did get censored from everything.

02:37:29.000 I got banned from Facebook, banned from Instagram.

02:37:31.000 They banned my burner TikTok account because I got banned on TikTok a year ago.

02:37:36.000 They banned my Discord account again.

02:37:38.000 They banned me from my payment processor.

02:37:40.000 That was tens of thousands of dollars in passive income evaporated overnight.

02:37:45.000 They banned me from DLive, which is where I did my show every night, right?

02:37:48.000 I mean, that was a few days after the Capitol, even though I did nothing wrong.

02:37:52.000 And there was $30,000 in my DLive account, you know?

02:37:56.000 So they took away the payment processor, and DLive basically took $30K.

02:38:01.000 Government took more than that, you know, more than 10 times more than that from me.

02:38:06.000 And I got banned from Email Octopus, which was my emailing server.

02:38:10.000 I got banned from Amazon AWS, which is where I was doing my web hosting.

02:38:14.000 They changed the YouTube rules so that I couldn't embed a YouTube stream to run my show.

02:38:20.000 You remember when we were doing that?

02:38:23.000 So, I mean, that's just ridiculous.

02:38:26.000 They banned me from Coinbase.

02:38:30.000 Coinbase.

02:38:32.000 They banned me from Airbnb.

02:38:37.000 So, you know, the idea of people saying, oh, Nick Fletcher's got away with nothing.

02:38:43.000 Gee, that's really suspicious.

02:38:44.000 Really?

02:38:46.000 Nothing happened to me.

02:38:47.000 They took away, you know, a lot of my cash.

02:38:51.000 They banned me from all those different things.

02:38:54.000 And now I can't even fly on an airplane.

02:38:56.000 I can't fly domestically on an airplane.

02:38:59.000 Yeah, but they took nothing from me.

02:39:00.000 The FBI is spying on me.

02:39:01.000 I mean, literally tapping my phones, I'm sure.

02:39:06.000 And I'm not even out of the woods yet.

02:39:09.000 But yeah, they took nothing from me.

02:39:10.000 Really?

02:39:12.000 You wake up one day and see your checking account, which has.

02:39:17.000 Six figures in there, not a low six figure amount, go to zero.

02:39:24.000 And you don't find out what's going on for two weeks.

02:39:27.000 And then you tell me, you tell me that that's nothing.

02:39:30.000 You tell me, you try to get on a plane, you can't check in, and after 30 minutes they tell you you can't board any planes.

02:39:35.000 And you tell me, oh, that's nothing, that's nothing.

02:39:38.000 He got away with nothing.

02:39:39.000 You get your income, all of your income, rug pulled out from under you in one day.

02:39:46.000 And you tell me.

02:39:48.000 And let me just say this.

02:39:49.000 I'll just say this.

02:39:52.000 I had the opportunity to snitch on some people.

02:39:55.000 You know, I don't want to get into specifics at all.

02:39:58.000 But let's just say I know people that were somewhere where they shouldn't have been.

02:40:04.000 And I definitely had a reason to throw them under the bus.

02:40:07.000 And I didn't.

02:40:09.000 And I didn't.

02:40:10.000 Because I hate the feds more than I hate anybody that I get into some conflict with politically online.

02:40:17.000 I don't want to get specific, but somebody who has really messed with me was somewhere where they shouldn't have been.

02:40:24.000 And let's just say, maybe they know, maybe they don't know, but there's evidence of it.

02:40:30.000 I don't have it.

02:40:34.000 I'll just say, for the sake of this as a public broadcast, that I don't have it.

02:40:38.000 I've rumored to exist.

02:40:41.000 And there's an opportunity there to get people in trouble in certain instances.

02:40:49.000 Would never, would never, would never dream of it.

02:40:51.000 People wanted me to do it, too.

02:40:52.000 People were saying, yeah, yeah, do it, do it, do it.

02:40:54.000 Wouldn't do it.

02:40:56.000 Wouldn't do it.

02:40:57.000 You know, so that's the other thing, too.

02:40:58.000 People talk, they have no idea what they're talking about. 0.99

02:41:00.000 You know, people make shit up about me, they lie. 0.99

02:41:02.000 I think they're paid to lie in some cases. 0.99

02:41:05.000 But, you know, I am obviously not at liberty to talk about everything because this is a public broadcast.

02:41:13.000 And you got to keep in mind everything that you see from me, if you're not a friend of mine and you don't have my confidence, everything that you see from me, Megan Squire can see it, too.

02:41:22.000 And the FBI can see it too.

02:41:23.000 So keep that in mind when people are like, why won't you answer the question about your sensitive financial or legal situation?

02:41:29.000 I can't go into a lot of detail.

02:41:31.000 But obviously, you guys don't know everything that goes on behind the scenes.

02:41:34.000 You can't.

02:41:36.000 You can't.

02:41:37.000 But people make all these assumptions.

02:41:39.000 People lie.

02:41:40.000 People, you know, and people, why?

02:41:42.000 They lie deliberately and they know.

02:41:45.000 But anyway, so yeah, it doesn't correlate at all.

02:41:52.000 But if anyone's interested, you know, that's been my reality since the Capitol.

02:41:56.000 That's been my reality being banned from everything, being banned from Epic Pay, being banned from DLive, right?

02:42:04.000 DLive taking a month.

02:42:07.000 Plus, five weeks worth of income during Stop the Steal during December, which is usually the best month, taking it all.

02:42:15.000 And then the government coming in and taking money, and then I can't fly on an airplane.

02:42:20.000 Yeah, but yeah, I'm cooperating, right?

02:42:23.000 And that's the thing.

02:42:24.000 They haven't even talked to me.

02:42:25.000 That's the thing.

02:42:26.000 They have not even talked to me, which almost makes it worse.

02:42:30.000 I wouldn't say anything to them.

02:42:31.000 You know, I talked to many lawyers since January 6th, and they all tell me don't say anything to the feds, and I haven't.

02:42:36.000 The feds have not even gotten in touch with me, which I'm surprised at.

02:42:39.000 Because I've been a right wing guy for years and years and years, and I know many people that have gotten visits from the feds.

02:42:45.000 Not once, not once, not once have they reached out.

02:42:54.000 So, anyway, Blackroyd versus would an immigration moratorium force other countries to become more stable since people would not have anywhere to run to?

02:43:03.000 While the obvious differences in people would make it hard, governments and elites would not want to be threatened.

02:43:08.000 No, I don't think that would necessarily be the case.

02:43:11.000 Elliot Hamilton says, want to really understand what's happening right now?

02:43:14.000 Read 1984. 0.99

02:43:16.000 Wow, so true.

02:43:17.000 Elliot Hamilton says, following recent events, will you be apologizing to Patrick Casey for everything you've done to him?

02:43:23.000 Number one, I haven't done anything to Patrick Casey. 0.95

02:43:27.000 Riddle me this what have I done to that loser?

02:43:30.000 What have I done to him? 0.98

02:43:34.000 He did that to himself.

02:43:37.000 And no, because he still lied.

02:43:39.000 You know, when he went on his stream, and I've been waiting for somebody to ask this.

02:43:43.000 Question.

02:43:44.000 It's honestly, it's a valid question because people say, oh, well, you know, Patrick said this, this, this, and this.

02:43:50.000 It's still a lie because what he said on his stream in February was, well, there are key details that Nick isn't telling you.

02:43:58.000 He's concealing things from you that he told me in private, and I'm not going.

02:44:03.000 So there's a series of claims here.

02:44:05.000 Let's break it down.

02:44:06.000 I wish I had my whiteboard here.

02:44:08.000 Claim number one Nick is concealing things relevant to the conference that he's not telling you.

02:44:14.000 Two, I'm not going to the conference because I have information that you don't.

02:44:20.000 I'm making a more informed decision than you because I've got information which is giving me a better idea of the risks associated than you have.

02:44:28.000 Number three, Nick is dishonest, basically.

02:44:31.000 Nick is dishonest and putting you in danger because he's not telling you the things that I know that he told me, which is why I'm not going.

02:44:40.000 All three of those things are still a lie because the claims that he made were that I'm on a no fly list, that the feds froze my bank accounts.

02:44:48.000 And that I'm under investigation by the FBI.

02:44:50.000 Well, let's go through the list here.

02:44:52.000 And I said this in my response stream.

02:44:54.000 The FBI was investigating me.

02:44:57.000 And that was, and by the way, at the time, I didn't know that.

02:45:00.000 At the time, I didn't know that.

02:45:04.000 Because, you know, the press was reporting the FBI is investigating you.

02:45:07.000 And the press reported that in January.

02:45:09.000 That was in NBC.

02:45:10.000 That was in NBC News.

02:45:13.000 And I said that, by the way, on the show many times.

02:45:15.000 I said, they're investigating everybody, you know?

02:45:18.000 So the idea that that was concealed. 0.76

02:45:20.000 The idea that people didn't know that, the idea that people couldn't make an informed decision about AFPAC because that was some kind of state secret is ridiculous.

02:45:29.000 That was information that I didn't have at the time, number one.

02:45:32.000 And number two, it's something that was reported in the press.

02:45:36.000 I knew as much about it as was reported in NBC.

02:45:39.000 So, Patrick saying I told him I was under investigation by the FBI is a lie, and I challenge him.

02:45:44.000 Show me the text that says I'm under investigation by the FBI.

02:45:47.000 If that's true, show the receipt.

02:45:49.000 Never happened.

02:45:50.000 So, he said that I told them that was the case.

02:45:52.000 Didn't happen because I didn't know that at the time.

02:45:55.000 I suspected that.

02:45:56.000 All we knew was that it was reported in public.

02:45:58.000 So, does that meet any of those standards?

02:46:01.000 Number one, it was not concealed information.

02:46:04.000 It was information that I didn't know, but was also at the same time public because.

02:46:08.000 NBC reported that.

02:46:09.000 It could be, it could not be.

02:46:09.000 And I don't know.

02:46:11.000 I talked to people that I know in the intelligence community, and they said maybe it's true, maybe it's not.

02:46:16.000 So I said what I knew at the time, and it was also public.

02:46:20.000 And I didn't tell him more than was public because I didn't know more than was public.

02:46:24.000 So that's a lie.

02:46:26.000 And then he said, oh, well, he got his bank account frozen.

02:46:29.000 Now, on that one, I said that that was half true.

02:46:31.000 I said that that was half true because he said, in particular, well, the FBI froze all his money and he's using this conference to make the money back.

02:46:39.000 He can't cancel because he has no money, he's broke, and whatever.

02:46:44.000 I mean, all across the board, it's a lie.

02:46:44.000 Lie.

02:46:48.000 I didn't know, once again, I didn't know at the time that it was the feds because, you know, what happened is, and I don't want to get too into the weeds about the money situation in particular, but I didn't know initially what was going on with that.

02:46:58.000 At first, I thought it could have been the bank.

02:47:00.000 At first, I thought it could have been any number of things, honest to God.

02:47:05.000 Because, like with the no fly list, they don't send you a letter and say, hi, you know, we're doing this action, we're doing it for this reason.

02:47:11.000 It's all opaque.

02:47:12.000 It's all completely opaque.

02:47:14.000 It's a process that, Nobody knows about it.

02:47:16.000 It's classified.

02:47:17.000 It's confidential.

02:47:18.000 And, you know, so I can't get into too much detail on that because it's obviously sensitive legal and financial information.

02:47:26.000 And Megan Squire literally was giving comments about this yesterday in the press.

02:47:30.000 She said, oh, for the first time, Nick said six figures and whatever.

02:47:33.000 So we're getting more details.

02:47:35.000 So, you know, somebody like that is watching.

02:47:37.000 So I don't want to divulge too much.

02:47:39.000 But what I told Patrick was, well, one of my bank accounts is having an issue.

02:47:44.000 I want to know if you're having an issue because.

02:47:47.000 We're going through a similar thing.

02:47:48.000 Again, don't want to go into details, but I'm wondering because I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.

02:47:52.000 And if it's happening to you, then I know it's one thing.

02:47:55.000 If it's not happening to you, maybe it's another thing.

02:47:58.000 And he said, Well, no, it's not happening to me.

02:48:00.000 And I said, Okay.

02:48:01.000 I said, Well, here's some tips.

02:48:03.000 Here's some tips on how you can avoid this happening to you.

02:48:06.000 So I came to him, not knowing what was going on, asking him based on his experience if he knew what it was about.

02:48:13.000 He said, No.

02:48:14.000 And then I offered to help him.

02:48:16.000 I said, Here's some advice to prevent it from happening to you because it might.

02:48:20.000 So, I texted him and I sent him this whole long thing because I talked to many lawyers about this, people that are experts.

02:48:27.000 This is very good information, very helpful, very generous of me to sit there and type it all out and say, hey, if you want to prevent this from happening to you, do X, Y, and Z, da blah, blah, blah.

02:48:39.000 Okay?

02:48:40.000 So, Patrick, when Patrick says, oh, Nick told me that the FBI froze his money, that's a lie.

02:48:46.000 There was an issue with a bank account.

02:48:48.000 This is what I told him there was an issue with one bank account.

02:48:51.000 That I didn't know what it was about.

02:48:53.000 So when Patrick goes on the stream and says, Well, Nick told me the FBI took his money and he's lying to you and I'm making my decision based on that, that is a bald faced lie.

02:49:01.000 That conversation didn't happen.

02:49:03.000 I didn't tell him that.

02:49:04.000 I didn't know that at the time.

02:49:05.000 Didn't know that at the time.

02:49:07.000 So that conversation never happened.

02:49:09.000 Like he knew.

02:49:10.000 And honestly, it begs the question about the third thing, which I'll get to in a second.

02:49:14.000 Maybe he knew something that I didn't.

02:49:17.000 I don't think we have to rule that out completely.

02:49:19.000 I don't think it's likely, but maybe he knew something that I didn't because I didn't know that.

02:49:23.000 But Patrick went on the stream and said, Well, Nick told me.

02:49:25.000 Illinois didn't because I didn't know at the time.

02:49:27.000 Did you know?

02:49:28.000 Maybe you just assumed.

02:49:29.000 So either he lied or he knew something that we didn't.

02:49:33.000 And then on that point in particular, he said, Well, Nick is trying to make his money back.

02:49:37.000 And I went over this on the stream in February.

02:49:40.000 I said that when it came to AFPAC, the reason I told people about the cost of the conference, because there were a lot of like Groyper leaders that didn't want to go through with it, I told them it's going to cost us a lot of money to cancel.

02:49:53.000 But I told them, I said, I'm willing to cancel if that's what has to be done.

02:49:56.000 We'll figure it out.

02:49:57.000 We'll make ends meet financially.

02:49:59.000 We don't have the money to pay for it.

02:50:01.000 But we'll figure it out because we're locked into a contract with the hotel and everything.

02:50:04.000 If we cancel, we have to eat the cost.

02:50:06.000 I said, We don't have the money.

02:50:07.000 I said, But we'll figure it out.

02:50:09.000 You know, if I have to liquidate assets, if I have to do things, then we'll do that.

02:50:12.000 I said, If we have to protect our people and cancel the conference, I said, We'll do that.

02:50:16.000 The reason I said it cost a lot of money to cancel is because, you know, these are people that weren't involved with the planning of AFPAC.

02:50:23.000 They have no idea how much time, money, and effort went into it.

02:50:26.000 And if people get on a call and say, I don't really think we should, in a sort of cavalier, nonchalant way, it's like, Well, just so you understand, It's a serious undertaking to unwind all of this.

02:50:37.000 It's not just as simple as, okay, calling it off.

02:50:40.000 Like, no, I mean, we'll have to figure out a way to pay for that.

02:50:43.000 We're still going to be on the hook for a lot of money.

02:50:45.000 We're going to have to cancel a lot of stuff.

02:50:47.000 It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of work that's already been done down the tubes.

02:50:51.000 So I brought that up on the call with Patrick and others to say, you know, look, we'll cancel it if we have to, but let's not cancel it unless we have a good reason.

02:50:59.000 I don't think there's a good reason.

02:51:01.000 And I was right, by the way.

02:51:03.000 I said, I don't think there's a good reason.

02:51:04.000 I've heard the concerns, I've heard the criticisms.

02:51:07.000 And I don't hear a solid reason.

02:51:09.000 If you want to cancel just because you're nervous, well, there's a lot of serious consequences of canceling.

02:51:15.000 And I don't see a good reason to follow through with the cancellation unless I get a really good reason.

02:51:20.000 I haven't heard one.

02:51:21.000 And we went through, we went around in circles for hours.

02:51:24.000 And I said, okay, is that everything?

02:51:26.000 Is that everything?

02:51:26.000 Are there any concerns we're not thinking of?

02:51:28.000 Anything we haven't thought of?

02:51:30.000 And by the way, none of this was ever brought up in those calls, but I'll get on to that later.

02:51:35.000 So he said, I'm under investigation by the FBI and that I was hiding that.

02:51:39.000 That's not true.

02:51:40.000 He said, my bank account was frozen by the FBI, and he told me, and he's hiding that.

02:51:44.000 That's a lie.

02:51:45.000 That conversation didn't happen.

02:51:47.000 And thirdly, Patrick said I was on a no fly list, which I don't even know now.

02:51:52.000 I had no idea then, and I don't know now.

02:51:55.000 And if I was on a no fly list, why would I make last minute travel plans based upon a flight to get to this press conference?

02:52:04.000 I wanted to go to the press conference.

02:52:05.000 You think it was my master plan to go to the airport and get denied three times?

02:52:10.000 And then tell Twitter, and then it goes viral.

02:52:12.000 I mean, you just can't plan for things like that.

02:52:15.000 I mean, I'm a pretty smart guy, but you could ask anybody that's a political operator.

02:52:20.000 You don't plan for these kinds of black swan events to occur.

02:52:24.000 It's kind of a fluke.

02:52:25.000 That's how I see it.

02:52:26.000 It's chance that it unfolded exactly the way that it did.

02:52:29.000 I bought a plane ticket to go to this press conference with the full intention of boarding a plane and getting there.

02:52:34.000 And I have text conversations with Lauren Witzke where she told me, yeah, all that happened to me was they did advanced screening, and that's what I expected.

02:52:41.000 I bought a burner phone.

02:52:43.000 I went out and paid $120 to buy a burner phone, expecting to go through TSA.

02:52:48.000 Maybe they'd check my phone.

02:52:50.000 Maybe I didn't want them to take anything from my phone or confiscate my phone.

02:52:53.000 So I bought a burner phone with the intention of going through security, getting on a plane, and landing in West Palm or Fort Lauderdale and doing the press conference.

02:53:02.000 If I knew I was on a no fly list, I would have driven there or I wouldn't have planned to be there, obviously.

02:53:08.000 So I found out that I couldn't board a plane yesterday.

02:53:11.000 I didn't know that in February.

02:53:12.000 And if I didn't know it, I certainly didn't tell Patrick.

02:53:16.000 So, Patrick said, Oh, Nick told me he's on a no fly list, and he's not telling you.

02:53:19.000 Well, I didn't know that, and I didn't tell you.

02:53:21.000 So, that's two lies.

02:53:23.000 And so, now take all this together.

02:53:26.000 That's just on the things that he said about me, about the FBI and everything.

02:53:30.000 And in each case, it's not true.

02:53:32.000 In each case, it's maybe partially true, like the bank account.

02:53:35.000 There was an issue with the bank account, but I didn't tell Patrick it was the FBI because I didn't know.

02:53:40.000 I didn't know if that was a bank problem or a fluke or anything.

02:53:43.000 With the FBI thing, again, once again, I didn't know that was happening at the time.

02:53:47.000 I knew NBC reported I was, but I didn't know if I could trust that.

02:53:50.000 And in any case, that's in the national news.

02:53:52.000 And I told people that that might have been the case for weeks on the show, so it wasn't being concealed.

02:53:57.000 And on the no fly list, that's something I learned yesterday.

02:53:59.000 So I certainly wasn't telling anybody that.

02:54:01.000 In fact, I was confident that I wasn't.

02:54:03.000 I drove to Orlando out of an abundance of caution because imagine if I had been denied at the airport going to Orlando.

02:54:12.000 That would have been a much bigger deal than this press conference.

02:54:15.000 This press conference was a last minute thing.

02:54:17.000 We threw it together in like four days.

02:54:19.000 You know, that's why I was at a Marriott hotel.

02:54:22.000 And that's why we had a curtain backdrop and it wasn't dressed up because we threw this together in like four days.

02:54:28.000 So, I said, I'm not taking a chance because things were still really hot back in February.

02:54:33.000 So, I didn't know if I was going to get picked up at the airport, if I was going to get on a plane.

02:54:37.000 So, I said, out of an abundance of caution, I don't want to give them the satisfaction of going through all my stuff, going through all my luggage before AFPAC, maybe causing a problem.

02:54:45.000 So, I drove because I knew reliably that I could get from point A to point B unobstructed.

02:54:50.000 That was a very smart move.

02:54:52.000 So, it was a lie on all three counts.

02:54:54.000 And he said, Oh, I've got conversations.

02:54:56.000 I would challenge him to release the screenshots of the conversation.

02:54:59.000 I think that'd be a terrible look for him.

02:55:01.000 And I don't want him to do that.

02:55:03.000 But, you know, he lied.

02:55:04.000 And now there's this question of confidence here.

02:55:06.000 If he was taking screenshots of signal text messages about a sensitive thing like that, I think that would really show his character.

02:55:14.000 Why would an honest person be screenshotting disappearing signal messages about my legal and financial situation?

02:55:23.000 I mean, to me, that says, what does that tell you about the whole situation?

02:55:27.000 Who's a dishonest actor?

02:55:28.000 Somebody that's screenshotting disappearing messages?

02:55:31.000 I mean, what purpose would that serve other than a future and planned backstab, right?

02:55:37.000 Why would he be screenshotting?

02:55:38.000 Because that's what Signal is.

02:55:39.000 Signal's encrypted and it disappears.

02:55:43.000 So I text him about, oh, my bank account's frozen.

02:55:46.000 What purpose, what reason would he have to screenshot that?

02:55:50.000 Because he said, oh, I've got screenshots.

02:55:52.000 Number one, the screenshots don't prove what you said, Patrick, and you know that.

02:55:56.000 And number two, why were you taking screenshots?

02:55:58.000 Why do you have that?

02:56:00.000 Right?

02:56:02.000 And number three, if you go around releasing screenshots of text messages, then how can anybody trust you for that matter?

02:56:07.000 Oh, I'm a really trustworthy person.

02:56:09.000 Here, remember when you told me that sensitive information on a disappearing encrypted messaging app?

02:56:15.000 Well, I screenshotted that to share with everyone publicly.

02:56:17.000 Oh, yeah, you're right.

02:56:19.000 No, you're totally vindicated.

02:56:20.000 You're the honest one here.

02:56:23.000 And then what's more, he says that I was concealing that.

02:56:28.000 And the main thrust of it is this Patrick says that he's not going to the conference because he knew these things that you didn't.

02:56:37.000 And those were the reasons he wasn't going.

02:56:39.000 In other words, he wasn't going because he knew about no fly list, bank account, and FBI investigation.

02:56:46.000 And that's why he wasn't going.

02:56:48.000 Because to the normal person, a normal person might say, you know, to the audience, they might say, why isn't this guy going?

02:56:55.000 He's got nothing to lose.

02:56:56.000 If Nick can go, why can't Patrick go?

02:56:58.000 He's the CEO of the movement.

02:57:01.000 And Patrick's rebuttal to that was, well, I'm not going because there's information you don't know.

02:57:07.000 And there's information you don't know, which is relevant to why someone should or should not go.

02:57:13.000 And Nick is concealing that information.

02:57:15.000 Why is he concealing that information?

02:57:16.000 Because he's got a self serving motive.

02:57:20.000 But here's the problem.

02:57:22.000 We had two phone conversations with Patrick and Steve and Vince and Scott and Jaden and Assistant Groyper and Vince and Michelle and everyone.

02:57:32.000 We had two separate phone conversations weeks apart for hours, going around and saying, should we do AFPAC or not?

02:57:40.000 What are the reasons for?

02:57:41.000 What are the reasons against?

02:57:43.000 And it came down there were fewer people in favor than there were against.

02:57:46.000 There were four against, three in favor, or like four in favor, technically.

02:57:54.000 And the arguments from the people that were against had nothing to do with what Patrick said.

02:57:58.000 The arguments that, in particular, Patrick made were this people could get doxxed, the venue might cancel, and there might be a privacy concern.

02:58:08.000 Among other concerns were people might not buy tickets, people might call us feds for having a conference at all.

02:58:16.000 But all of these concerns were really immaterial because I said, well, venue cancellation is always a problem.

02:58:22.000 That was a problem last year at AFPAC.

02:58:24.000 That'll be a problem next year at AFPAC.

02:58:25.000 That'll always be a problem when you're a dissident political conference, right?

02:58:31.000 Mar-a-Lago has pulled the plug on conservative conferences or conservative events.

02:58:35.000 That's always a problem.

02:58:36.000 That's not unique to this.

02:58:37.000 That's not a good enough reason.

02:58:39.000 People might get doxxed.

02:58:41.000 That's going to happen at any event.

02:58:42.000 That's a concern at every event.

02:58:43.000 That was a concern at AFPAC-1.

02:58:45.000 That was a concern at the Groeper Leadership Summit.

02:58:48.000 That's a concern at every in-real-life event that you have, right?

02:58:53.000 And in any case, both of these things are not unique to the current climate.

02:58:57.000 Those are problems systemically that you have with any in real life event.

02:59:01.000 And both of those things are things that you can mitigate.

02:59:03.000 How do we know that?

02:59:04.000 Because none of those things happened.

02:59:06.000 Our venue didn't get canceled.

02:59:09.000 And we did our due diligence to make sure that that didn't happen.

02:59:14.000 And I laid out to Patrick and all the people who were against, I said, here's what we're going to do to prevent that.

02:59:18.000 And I put in place a plan and it worked.

02:59:21.000 And then as far as doxing was concerned, I said, here's how we're going to get rid of doxing.

02:59:24.000 And actually, our security was going to be tighter.

02:59:27.000 There were some problems in the last minute.

02:59:30.000 Our security was going to be tighter than it was, but nobody got doxxed for going to AFPAC.

02:59:34.000 Nobody got doxxed.

02:59:35.000 Nobody got compromised.

02:59:36.000 Nobody got fired from their job.

02:59:38.000 So I said, that's always a concern.

02:59:40.000 And we're going to do our due diligence to minimize the risk to as little as possible.

02:59:44.000 And we did.

02:59:45.000 And nothing happened, right?

02:59:47.000 Just like AFPAC 1, just like Rupert Leadership Summit.

02:59:50.000 And actually, our security was going to be even tighter than it was.

02:59:53.000 We were going to have a much more draconian policy, and I don't want to get into details.

02:59:58.000 Something fell through.

03:00:00.000 But.

03:00:02.000 You know, so those were the concerns that were brought up. 0.99

03:00:04.000 And then these other stupid things, they said, Oh, well, what if people don't buy tickets? 0.99

03:00:07.000 Well, I don't know. 0.99

03:00:08.000 We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

03:00:09.000 What if people say things about us?

03:00:11.000 We can't control what people say about us.

03:00:13.000 But those were the concerns laid out on both of the calls.

03:00:15.000 And we said, What are the concerns?

03:00:17.000 What are the concerns?

03:00:18.000 And on the first call, they said, Venue cancellation, risk of doxing.

03:00:21.000 So we said, Okay.

03:00:22.000 And we laid out a plan.

03:00:23.000 You know, we went to work.

03:00:25.000 And over the course of about a week or two weeks, we said, Okay, this is how we're going to prevent venue cancellation.

03:00:30.000 This is how we'll prevent venue cancellation.

03:00:32.000 Doxing, and then we all reconvened and we said, okay, me and Assistant Groyper and the whole intern team, we've done this, this, and this to prevent the things that you're saying.

03:00:42.000 I said, is there anything else that you're concerned about?

03:00:45.000 No.

03:00:46.000 No was the answer, it was a much shorter call.

03:00:49.000 No new material concerns.

03:00:51.000 So there were two opportunities for Patrick or others to raise these concerns, and that was never a part of the conversation.

03:00:58.000 Nobody ever said, Nick, your bank account's frozen, you're on a no fly list, you're being investigated by the FBI.

03:01:04.000 That never came up in the conversation, and we have seven witnesses.

03:01:08.000 We have seven witnesses to corroborate that.

03:01:11.000 That didn't come up on the first call.

03:01:13.000 That didn't come up on the second call.

03:01:15.000 We have an entire group chat.

03:01:16.000 We have like eight or nine witnesses to corroborate that that never came up in our group chat either.

03:01:21.000 So, you know, when Patrick went on that little stream that he did in mid February ranting and raving about the FBI, that was the first time I heard that was a concern from him.

03:01:29.000 But he was claiming that, you know, he was pushing back and he knew this information.

03:01:34.000 That's not he was going.

03:01:35.000 If that's why he wasn't going, that's the first time I heard about it was on his public stream.

03:01:42.000 How did that happen?

03:01:43.000 I accidentally flipped my sounds on.

03:01:46.000 So.

03:01:48.000 So every step of the way was a lie.

03:01:50.000 You know, the idea that I was doing it to recoup money.

03:01:53.000 I had money.

03:01:54.000 We had money to pay for it.

03:01:56.000 The idea that I knew things that I wasn't telling people, that's not true.

03:02:01.000 The idea that he wasn't going because of this FBI stuff, that's not true.

03:02:05.000 He's lying about what I told him, and that's not the reason he didn't want to go.

03:02:09.000 The reason that he didn't want to go, you know, probably is because he was concerned about his own situation in relation to law enforcement.

03:02:19.000 Because, and this is what it's about.

03:02:22.000 I think he felt threatened.

03:02:23.000 Here's a guy who should have been at AFPAC.

03:02:25.000 He had nothing to lose, no wife, no kids, no job.

03:02:28.000 This is what he does for a living.

03:02:29.000 Why would you not go and support the team?

03:02:31.000 You're the CEO, whatever.

03:02:33.000 Why won't you go and support the team?

03:02:34.000 And everyone was asking that very relevant, very necessary question Why aren't you going?

03:02:39.000 Why won't you go to AFPAC?

03:02:43.000 And he didn't have an answer for it because there is no answer.

03:02:46.000 He rationalized it.

03:02:46.000 So he made up one.

03:02:47.000 He said, Oh, well, I'm not going because Nick is this evil guy.

03:02:51.000 He made up this story.

03:02:53.000 You know, that I was concealing information, I was doing it for money, I'm like Richard Spencer, blah, blah, blah. 0.95

03:02:58.000 But that was all just ass saving. 0.98

03:02:59.000 That was all just a big ass covering. 0.97

03:03:01.000 Because I, and honestly, Beardson did a good thing because he prevented Patrick from riding the fence.

03:03:06.000 Because if it went really poorly, Patrick could distance himself and it went really well, Patrick could say, wow, great job, everyone, and still be a part of it.

03:03:12.000 And it's like, look, if you're not loyal when things are difficult, if you're not willing to go down with the ship, I don't want you on the ship.

03:03:18.000 You know?

03:03:19.000 So that's a question that was worth asking.

03:03:21.000 Why won't you, if you think the ship is going down, why aren't you down with the ship?

03:03:25.000 You know, whatever you've used, why aren't you supporting Nick?

03:03:27.000 Why aren't you supporting AFPAC?

03:03:28.000 Why aren't you supporting the movement?

03:03:30.000 Why aren't you being a team player?

03:03:32.000 Why are you looking out for yourself and riding the fence?

03:03:35.000 That was the question.

03:03:38.000 And that was the question that had to be asked.

03:03:39.000 And he answered it.

03:03:40.000 He said, I'm going out for myself.

03:03:43.000 I'm going to look out for myself when it comes to AFPAC, and I'm going to look out for myself when people ask me why I'm not going.

03:03:49.000 Lie, do anything, say anything.

03:03:52.000 So I'm glad somebody asked that question because I know people are going to ask that.

03:03:56.000 Oh, you're on a no fly list.

03:03:57.000 Joseph and Patrick Wright?

03:03:58.000 No, because.

03:03:59.000 I didn't know that at the time.

03:04:01.000 I don't even know it now.

03:04:03.000 And I didn't, and certainly I didn't have that conversation with Patrick back then.

03:04:06.000 So, you know, so the timeline just doesn't make any sense there.

03:04:11.000 But anyway, so, you know, if you look at it logically, people are going to say whatever they want and they're going to obfuscate it.

03:04:16.000 And people think that if you just make the claim, you know, not everyone's going to look into all the details of it.

03:04:21.000 But if people are interested in the truth, truth fears no investigation.

03:04:24.000 Let's go over every little detail.

03:04:26.000 Let's go over the timeline and I'll lay out and it, you know, it proves.

03:04:31.000 It proves that I was right.

03:04:32.000 But people are just going to keep saying that.

03:04:34.000 People that don't like me are just going to keep saying that, you know, because it sounds right.

03:04:38.000 And, you know, I understand why people would ask that or think that.

03:04:41.000 But if you really break it down and look at the timeline of events, it's clear what was going on there.

03:04:48.000 So, anyway, 97 Groy versus Biden doesn't control the room like Trump did.

03:04:52.000 No, he doesn't.

03:04:53.000 Well, I don't know.

03:04:54.000 I thought he was a pretty effective guy.

03:04:56.000 Hang on.

03:04:56.000 I just got a text from somebody.

03:05:02.000 I love.

03:05:02.000 What is this?

03:05:03.000 Why does this guy keep sending me stuff?

03:05:06.000 Whenever I get texted during the show, I think it's urgent.

03:05:10.000 So, anyway, so that's that.

03:05:14.000 But I don't want to talk about that guy anymore. 0.99

03:05:15.000 Guy's a traitor. 1.00

03:05:16.000 He's a loser. 1.00

03:05:17.000 There's no excuse for it. 1.00

03:05:19.000 There's no excuse for treachery.

03:05:20.000 There's nothing that justifies what he did.

03:05:22.000 Nothing.

03:05:23.000 Nobody is lower than a traitor to their friends.

03:05:26.000 And that's what I considered him at one time.

03:05:28.000 You know, like I said, he was in my house.

03:05:30.000 He had dinner with my parents.

03:05:33.000 You know, he came out to Chicago and with all the other Groypers, and I drove them around town.

03:05:38.000 We had a great time.

03:05:39.000 We've traveled together.

03:05:40.000 I gave this guy a second chance because it's not the first time.

03:05:44.000 Years ago, Patrick did a very similar thing.

03:05:47.000 And I forgave him, and I graciously allowed him to bandwagon onto the Groyper War, even though he was never an American nationalist, even though he's never on board with optics, he didn't personally like me.

03:05:56.000 And I graciously, you know, in the spirit of hanging together, allowed him to be a part of this, and we became friends, or so I thought, and he stabbed me in the back, you know, and there's no, even if you think he was right or whatever, there's just no excuse for that. 0.91

03:06:12.000 It's rat like behavior, total Judas move. 0.61

03:06:15.000 And he did it to himself, you know, that's the thing.

03:06:17.000 People say, what you did to him, what exactly did I do to him?

03:06:21.000 He rode my coattails for years and now he can't.

03:06:23.000 And now he's totally imploding.

03:06:25.000 That's my fault?

03:06:27.000 I got to let him, you know, suckle on my teeth while he's betraying me?

03:06:31.000 I don't think so.

03:06:32.000 And that's the whole thing.

03:06:34.000 Cause and effect.

03:06:35.000 The guy was never a team player.

03:06:36.000 Guy was always, he always wanted to play, you know, aloof, always wanted to play.

03:06:43.000 He was so above it all, professional.

03:06:45.000 He was not a real human being.

03:06:46.000 You know, we would go out with the boys and, you know, hang out and just be ourselves and everything.

03:06:51.000 And he always wanted to be, um, A stiff, basically.

03:06:57.000 Not a genuine guy.

03:06:58.000 And everyone knows that.

03:06:59.000 You meet the guy, he's a cold fish.

03:07:01.000 And I just chalked that up to that's just his personality.

03:07:03.000 No, the guy has a massive ego, thinks who the hell he is, and who is he, and who is he?

03:07:11.000 You know?

03:07:13.000 So, anyway, so I think that's going to be the final word on that guy.

03:07:20.000 He wants to be out for himself?

03:07:22.000 Okay, good luck.

03:07:23.000 Lots of luck, man.

03:07:26.000 Jay Rockster says, It's been a while, and Casey doesn't say it.

03:07:29.000 Don't keep the faith, spread it.

03:07:30.000 Yeah, yeah, the classic Joe Biden.

03:07:32.000 My mom always used to say, or my dad used to say, Keep the faith.

03:07:36.000 And my mom said, Don't keep the faith.

03:07:37.000 Joey, spread it.

03:07:39.000 Yeah, I'm sure that was happening a lot.

03:07:41.000 They were probably eating babies, you know.

03:07:45.000 Elliot Hamilton says, On May 25th, 2017, you stated that JFK was a man who fought the establishment head on.

03:07:51.000 Why do you believe this?

03:07:52.000 Well, you know, at the time I was a bigger JFK fan than I am now.

03:07:56.000 But he gave that speech about secret societies.

03:07:59.000 You know, there's like different red pills on a lot of things.

03:08:02.000 One red pill is like JFK said that he was going to destroy the CIA, so they killed him.

03:08:07.000 Another red pill is like, well, he co authored Nation of Immigrants with the SPLC and was behind the 65 Immigration Act.

03:08:15.000 And so, you know, I was just believing one of those like lower tier red pills back then.

03:08:21.000 Maxim says, why are they still wearing masks even if they're fully vaccinated with this magic vaccine?

03:08:27.000 Every time I see someone talking in that muffled mask tone, I can't help but to just turn off whatever it is I'm watching.

03:08:33.000 Great show as always, Nick.

03:08:34.000 Thanks a lot.

03:08:35.000 You know why it's political.

03:08:37.000 Why are they still wearing masks?

03:08:38.000 Is that a rhetorical question?

03:08:39.000 We all know.

03:08:41.000 Michigan Zoomer says it was painful to watch Tucker's monologue today where he talked about the federal government persecuting political dissidents and didn't even mention you.

03:08:49.000 I love what Tucker's doing, but I'm sick of how he will still not acknowledge your existence.

03:08:54.000 Well, you know, understandably, I'm sure he's being told by somebody at Fox News that he can't mention me.

03:09:03.000 It doesn't take away from the fact that it's not, you know, how can you really say that you're all the way honest if you can't say the names of the political dissidents?

03:09:13.000 How much of a defender of political dissent are you really if you can't even name the dissenters?

03:09:18.000 I mean, doesn't that kind of say it all?

03:09:20.000 So, yeah, it is kind of disappointing.

03:09:25.000 I mean, I was glad that he said a little bit about my situation last night, but it's a little disappointing he won't even say my name.

03:09:32.000 If I have the courage to do what I do and I'm just some nobody, then how do you, as the host of a primetime Fox News show, not have the courage to just say my name?

03:09:42.000 I feel like I'm this college dropout.

03:09:44.000 I don't come from money.

03:09:45.000 I don't come from a politically influential family.

03:09:48.000 My parents are college dropouts, you know, or not even.

03:09:51.000 My parents didn't even go to college.

03:09:53.000 My parents didn't even go to college, you know.

03:09:57.000 My parents are city people, American ethnics. 1.00

03:09:59.000 You know, my mom grew up in like this dysfunctional Italian house. 1.00

03:10:03.000 And I don't say that in a derogatory way, but my mom grew up poor and with a lot of problems in her life. 1.00

03:10:09.000 And same with my dad, you know.

03:10:11.000 Both of them had a very rough situation.

03:10:13.000 I meet a lot of people in D.C., and they're like, my uncle was in the Reagan administration, my dad was in this administration.

03:10:19.000 That's all these people I know.

03:10:21.000 My dad's a billionaire.

03:10:22.000 My dad was this.

03:10:23.000 My father did this.

03:10:24.000 I mean, that's all I hear in D.C. My father worked for Bush.

03:10:27.000 My father was on Air Force One.

03:10:29.000 My father worked for Nixon.

03:10:31.000 My father did this.

03:10:32.000 You know, my father, and I love my father, obviously, but my father wasn't a politically connected person.

03:10:36.000 Nothing wrong with that.

03:10:37.000 Actually, it's probably better.

03:10:39.000 You know, but I didn't come from money or anything like that.

03:10:41.000 My parents were poor growing up, my parents struggled when I was growing up.

03:10:47.000 And, you know, I'm a young guy.

03:10:49.000 I graduated high school and I went into this in my freshman year of college.

03:10:53.000 And I certainly have no money to speak of, or I didn't then.

03:10:56.000 And even now, you know, compared to what I'm doing, you know, I've got a decent chunk of change, but as far as politics go, nothing crazy.

03:11:06.000 I'm not an extremely connected person.

03:11:08.000 I don't work for some institution.

03:11:09.000 I'm just a guy doing a live stream.

03:11:11.000 And it's like if I'm being put on the no fly list, if I'm being badmouthed and blacklisted and called an anti Semite, and the media writes about me and I get deplatformed and the feds are after me, if I can throw myself into the machine and all this stuff happens to me, and it's like, you can't say my name?

03:11:26.000 And it's not totally a fair comparison because if Tucker loses that platform, would it be worth it to lose his platform over saying my name?

03:11:34.000 You know, probably not.

03:11:35.000 But would that happen?

03:11:36.000 I don't know. 0.99

03:11:39.000 It just sucks. 0.79

03:11:40.000 It's like I feel like I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to be doing, I feel like I'm doing everything right. 0.96

03:11:45.000 And, you know, even, and that's, I guess that's just what happens.

03:11:49.000 When you're, when you are real, when you're saying the right stuff, the fakers, you know, they're, they're going to be against you too.

03:11:58.000 People that purport to be doing the right thing. 0.97

03:12:01.000 They're the ones calling me, oh, anti Semite.

03:12:03.000 You know, somebody today DM'd me and they're like, oh, send me an article from a mainstream source about your no fly list banning.

03:12:10.000 I said, I don't think there is such a thing.

03:12:12.000 And he goes, oh, well, I found this one from the post millennial.

03:12:15.000 And the post millennial article is like, controversial provocateur Nick Fuentes put on no fly list.

03:12:20.000 That's the headline.

03:12:21.000 And the lead is like, Nick Fuentes, who's accused of being anti Semitic, is put on no fly list.

03:12:26.000 So it's like, yeah, I guess I'm less of a human being because I talk about Jews or something, right?

03:12:26.000 Really?

03:12:31.000 God forbid anybody talk about the people that are in control of the media, right?

03:12:35.000 God forbid somebody talk about the fact that it's Zuckerberg and it's Prager and Shapiro and it's Breitbart and it's, you know, you name it.

03:12:45.000 Mark Levin and it's Sumner Redstone and it's, right?

03:12:49.000 God forbid you talk about that. 0.99

03:12:50.000 Now I'm less than a human being and I get put on the no fly list and people say, I fucking hate this guy. 1.00

03:12:55.000 He's the scum of the earth. 1.00

03:12:56.000 He's an anti Semite. 1.00

03:12:57.000 He's whatever, but he shouldn't be put on a no fly list. 1.00

03:13:01.000 Oh, yeah.

03:13:01.000 Thanks a lot.

03:13:02.000 Thanks for nothing, you know?

03:13:04.000 So it's very, very frustrating.

03:13:08.000 But whatever.

03:13:10.000 So, anyway.

03:13:16.000 So, yeah, I wish you would just say my name.

03:13:19.000 Not hard.

03:13:24.000 Let's see.

03:13:25.000 We've got 97 Groyper says Biden doesn't control.

03:13:29.000 I read that one.

03:13:31.000 Humongous says, Would you consider moving to a country like Iran?

03:13:34.000 No. 0.76

03:13:35.000 Save the West says they cut child poverty in half by eating half the children.

03:13:39.000 Yeah, very funny.

03:13:40.000 Michigan Zoomer says it was painful.

03:13:42.000 I just read that.

03:13:45.000 Khaki Pants says, Hey Nick, big fan of the show.

03:13:48.000 My question is pretty off topic here, but can you red pill me on Martin Shkreli?

03:13:52.000 You've mentioned him a couple of times recently, and I haven't been able to sift through the mountains of bad press and find a decent article about him.

03:14:00.000 Go and watch one of his speeches.

03:14:02.000 He did a little bit of a speaking tour back in 2017.

03:14:06.000 If you go back and watch his speeches, he kind of explains what he's about.

03:14:11.000 But basically, you know, the reason he's a villain is because he raised the price on this drug.

03:14:16.000 And the way that he explained it is.

03:14:18.000 The insurance companies pay for the drug, not the people that need it.

03:14:23.000 And that when he goes and buys these drugs and raises the prices, what this does is it provides the funds to research more drugs.

03:14:30.000 Because there are some people, they've got very, very rare diseases, and so there's not a big market for drug makers to make the drugs that these people need because there's only a handful of them.

03:14:41.000 And he said that he raised the price so that insurance companies foot the bill, and then that will fund research and development for other drugs.

03:14:48.000 That's what he said in the speech.

03:14:50.000 Now, I don't know about pharmaceuticals, but I mean, that sounds right to me.

03:14:53.000 And why would we believe the media?

03:14:55.000 So I see him as somebody who is very maligned.

03:15:00.000 Blue Ridge Groypers says free childcare.

03:15:02.000 What a great idea. 1.00

03:15:03.000 Now, the heavy set African American women who roll their eyes at me behind a DMV counter can educate my children about the evils of white America before they can talk. 1.00

03:15:12.000 Yeah, isn't that awesome? 1.00

03:15:13.000 And then they can have them until college, too. 0.99

03:15:16.000 From zero to 22 or 20, the government can tell your kids, you know, immigrants and blacks can tell your kids about how evil white people are. 0.92

03:15:25.000 Blind Liquor says, I love listening to Biden talk about how much he cares about taking care of children, yet his party has no problem with abortion. 0.97

03:15:31.000 What a joke, yeah. 0.62

03:15:34.000 Hi there, says, everything out of Biden's mouth is a lie.

03:15:36.000 Getting the state involved in child care will quickly morph into mandatory state welfare of our kids, just like Obamacare mandated us to buy insurance.

03:15:45.000 Happy to see you garnering support.

03:15:47.000 The no fly situation is going to make you stronger.

03:15:49.000 I agree.

03:15:51.000 And I agree with your comment as well.

03:15:56.000 Aaron Gray says 90% of the prison population is male. 0.97

03:16:00.000 Equality check.

03:16:01.000 It's not because they commit more crime, it's because of systemic institutional sexism against men.

03:16:06.000 Wow, great point.

03:16:08.000 Blue Ridge Groypers says, How much adrenochrome do you think they had to give OK Joe to get him verbal?

03:16:14.000 But seriously, this man is the Antichrist.

03:16:16.000 Move all your money into crypto, Kevlar, and Nike stock.

03:16:21.000 Wow, jokes on jokes.

03:16:22.000 They just keep coming.

03:16:23.000 Real hilarity in chat.

03:16:28.000 Melon Buster says, Good grief, you ratioed the fuck out of Charlie Kirk. 0.85

03:16:32.000 Genius moment. 0.94

03:16:32.000 Yeah, pretty epic, right? 0.94

03:16:34.000 Arne says, I'm loving Biden's banana republic style speech about how everything is just fine and democratic as BLM burns down the nation in a rigged elected president's country.

03:16:45.000 Nice propaganda, Beijing Biden. 0.55

03:16:47.000 Beijing Biden, give me a break, dude.

03:16:49.000 Look at his cabinet.

03:16:51.000 Yeah, how many Chinese people are in the cabinet?

03:16:53.000 Let's see Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, National Security Advisor.

03:17:00.000 Kamala Harris's husband.

03:17:03.000 We want to go through all the Chinese people in the cabinet. 0.99

03:17:05.000 Beijing Biden. 0.92

03:17:07.000 Love when people say that.

03:17:08.000 As if there's any significant capture from the Chinese on the Biden administration. 0.96

03:17:13.000 They're the ones saber rattling with China. 0.84

03:17:16.000 They're pushing us to a war with China.

03:17:18.000 The Beijing Biden stuff is totally missing the mark. 0.99

03:17:21.000 Maxim says When this idiot says that autocrats saw the attack on the Capitol as American weakness, what does he think they thought when BLM and Antifa are looting and burning cities for months with no consequences? 0.99

03:17:32.000 So true. 1.00

03:17:32.000 That is so true. 1.00

03:17:35.000 Arn says Here's a Catholic fact.

03:17:36.000 As I'm half Filipino, I thought I would share.

03:17:39.000 The Philippines is the only nation in East Asia to be a Catholic state.

03:17:42.000 It boasts Catholicism as 86% of the population's religion. 0.56

03:17:46.000 The USA should be the same way. 0.98

03:17:48.000 Totally agree.

03:17:49.000 All countries should be.

03:17:51.000 Onward says Biden's speech, drain your wallet, disarm you, replace you. 0.99

03:17:55.000 It's funny because at least he got the assault on Native Americans in the correct order where it'd be successful. 0.99

03:18:00.000 Pretty gay DDR, if you ask me. 1.00

03:18:04.000 What's DDR? 0.99

03:18:06.000 Josh the Remover says, yeah, school is so magic.

03:18:08.000 That's why I got MRSA, what is that, MRSA, from my high school, which I will have for the rest of my life. 0.96

03:18:14.000 I love all these snarky, sardonic comments showing the hypocrisy of Democrats. 0.94

03:18:18.000 This is good stuff. 0.98

03:18:20.000 Great stuff.

03:18:21.000 Great point.

03:18:23.000 Super Lineheart says Tim Scott would be better off narrating a Christmas special.

03:18:27.000 Wow, that's really on point. 0.99

03:18:29.000 Xander Stones says, Ha, we totally got them Democrats by having Tim Scott, a black man, read our response.

03:18:35.000 How can they say we are racist now?

03:18:37.000 Wow, biting commentary here. 0.96

03:18:40.000 Damning, damning, and biting.

03:18:42.000 Dusty says Uncle Tom by Bryson Gray.

03:18:44.000 Thoughts?

03:18:45.000 Good song.

03:18:47.000 NJ Conservatives has seemed like a nice guy, but that was exactly what I thought Alex Jones' lawyer would look like.

03:18:53.000 Dude, he's a smart guy.

03:18:54.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

03:18:55.000 He looks good to me.

03:18:56.000 What should he look like, that guy on CNN?

03:19:00.000 360 No Scopes says Hi, Nick.

03:19:02.000 Have you seen the film JFK?

03:19:03.000 Who do you think killed Kennedy?

03:19:06.000 I don't know, actually.

03:19:07.000 I don't know.

03:19:08.000 I haven't done a ton of research into that.

03:19:09.000 Probably the CIA.

03:19:11.000 But yeah, I've seen JFK, the Oliver Stone movie, a long time ago.

03:19:17.000 Definitely not.

03:19:18.000 Jacob says, When is the Among Us stream?

03:19:20.000 I don't really play that game that much.

03:19:23.000 But I don't know.

03:19:24.000 Maybe I'll do one. 0.97

03:19:26.000 Italian Groyper says, Poop swag.

03:19:28.000 Goomba says, I hate New York. 0.97

03:19:31.000 Racist incels a pro tip.

03:19:32.000 Don't send 20 low effort replies to a tweeter.

03:19:35.000 There's a high likelihood you'll get banned.

03:19:36.000 I learned it the hard way tonight.

03:19:37.000 Yep.

03:19:38.000 Yeah, they count that as targeted harassment.

03:19:41.000 So don't do too many replies.

03:19:44.000 Awesome Gamer says, Hey, Nick, have you seen the show Impractical Jokers? 1.00

03:19:47.000 Four New York Italians do embarrassing things in public. 1.00

03:19:50.000 It's pretty funny. 1.00

03:19:51.000 Yeah, I have.

03:19:52.000 It's okay. 1.00

03:19:54.000 Big Reb says, Damn them and what they took from us will be back with a righteous fury. 1.00

03:19:58.000 Damn them all for their treachery and degeneracy. 1.00

03:20:02.000 Yeah, I agree. 1.00

03:20:03.000 Element Inspector says, Every time Biden says we can do X, he says it with a begging tone as if he is trying to cheer up a depressed drug addict, homeless person.

03:20:12.000 Yeah.

03:20:13.000 We can do it!

03:20:16.000 No, I don't know that we can, actually.

03:20:18.000 97 Groypers Trump knows how to move the audience instead of waiting on applause like Biden.

03:20:23.000 He uses the applause to make his speech stronger and more meaningful.

03:20:26.000 Very true. 0.99

03:20:27.000 Virginian says that stupid Charlottesville doc ad showed Timothy McVeigh, who last time I checked was an anarchist. 1.00

03:20:34.000 These people are not only evil, they are blatantly rewriting reality. 1.00

03:20:37.000 Well, Timothy McVeigh didn't even blow up the Oklahoma buildings.

03:20:40.000 That was the government did that.

03:20:44.000 Tenrio says, I literally just woke up specifically to send the super chat.

03:20:48.000 That Biden speech was so boring, I fell asleep.

03:20:51.000 Glad to see you were able to cleanse yourself of that cringe with some classic Trump.

03:20:55.000 Yeah.

03:20:55.000 Well, thank you.

03:20:56.000 Pretty, pretty horrible speech.

03:20:58.000 Constantine says, Thanks for playing the Trump speech at the end.

03:21:01.000 Needed a white pill. 0.53

03:21:02.000 Yeah, me too.

03:21:04.000 Goofy Goober says, Nick, your Twitter comment section is cringe. 1.00

03:21:08.000 The amount of fags on there just spamming the thread with memes of you shitting your pants or calling you a terrorist makes you want to smash my face into a wall. 1.00

03:21:15.000 Don't know how you deal with it. 1.00

03:21:16.000 I just don't read it.

03:21:18.000 Tactical Nuke says, Hey, King, great show.

03:21:20.000 America first is inevitable.

03:21:21.000 Don't read this part.

03:21:23.000 It's a joke.

03:21:25.000 Super Chats Hurt says, The feds haven't talked to you because you're at the top.

03:21:28.000 They talk to everyone else to get info, but they always gun for the tip of the spear.

03:21:32.000 Don't trust anyone, Nick.

03:21:33.000 Be careful.

03:21:34.000 Everyone, be careful.

03:21:35.000 I don't trust anyone.

03:21:37.000 That's why I've made it this far because I don't trust anyone.

03:21:41.000 Not even myself.

03:21:43.000 And you know, when I was a kid, I used to not understand what that meant.

03:21:48.000 Don't trust yourself.

03:21:51.000 Because a lot of people think, oh, don't trust yourself.

03:21:54.000 Well, that doesn't make any sense because you know everything about yourself, right?

03:21:59.000 Not even yourself.

03:22:00.000 People think that means that's like a dramatic or tongue in cheek thing to say.

03:22:03.000 It's not.

03:22:04.000 It's not.

03:22:05.000 You cannot trust anyone, and you definitely can't trust yourself.

03:22:09.000 What that means is.

03:22:12.000 You know, you are not always you.

03:22:15.000 Sometimes you're in a different state if you get drunk, you get high, if you're in a certain emotional state.

03:22:23.000 You know, if you're going through something, you have a mental breakdown, and you change over time.

03:22:28.000 So you can't trust yourself.

03:22:30.000 You can't trust your own judgment and your own discretion all the time.

03:22:34.000 That's why you need a system.

03:22:35.000 That's why you need rules, right?

03:22:40.000 Very, very critical.

03:22:41.000 Thing.

03:22:42.000 And only operators can really understand that.

03:22:45.000 A lot of people aren't in the situation that I am, where I'm just got a million daggers hanging over my head.

03:22:54.000 But I'm somebody that has to be very careful about what I say to who.

03:22:57.000 I have to think a lot about this kind of stuff.

03:22:59.000 And I figured this out early on.

03:23:01.000 You can't tell anyone anything, anything, because people change.

03:23:05.000 People change in meaningful ways over the long term, and they change states in the short term.

03:23:13.000 And you don't always have the same relationship with people over time.

03:23:16.000 At any given time or over long periods of time.

03:23:18.000 So that's why you really can't trust anyone with anything.

03:23:22.000 So that's how it is.

03:23:24.000 That's how it is with somebody like me in my role.

03:23:27.000 If you're a political person, if you're specifically a dissident, very, very important.

03:23:35.000 Can't trust anybody because they're coming for me in every way.

03:23:40.000 But it is what it is.

03:23:44.000 It kind of sucks in a lot of ways because.

03:23:47.000 You know, I look at a lot of people's lifestyles on like TikTok or I look at people's lifestyles on Twitter, and I just can't have what a lot of people have.

03:23:56.000 You know, I mean, people take for granted that a lot of their life is enabled to be the way that it is because they don't have like a high stakes life, you know.

03:24:07.000 And people look at me and they see all the glory, but they don't see the private life.

03:24:13.000 They don't see when I turn off the camera and I'm just like a normal person, they don't see what happens afterwards.

03:24:18.000 I'm not trying to, you know, world smalls violin playing just for me.

03:24:21.000 I'm just saying, You know, a lot of people don't get that.

03:24:24.000 And, you know, I look at the lifestyle that some people lead and I just can't, you know, I just can't be as liberal.

03:24:31.000 I can't be as loose.

03:24:32.000 I can't be as innocent.

03:24:33.000 I have to be a cynic.

03:24:34.000 I have to be distrusting.

03:24:36.000 I have to be constantly questioning, doubting, paranoid.

03:24:41.000 And, you know, honestly, I think that's why, in a lot of ways, maybe I'm meant for this because that's, I have kind of an antisocial temperament.

03:24:50.000 So maybe that's conducive to that.

03:24:51.000 Maybe that's why people that rise through the ranks.

03:24:54.000 Are, you know, antisocial or have antisocial personality disorder because the people that can live under in those conditions tend to be the people that maybe they're like that already.

03:25:06.000 So, anyway.

03:25:10.000 So, yeah, so I know, I know.

03:25:13.000 And I'm sure they're coming for me.

03:25:14.000 I'm sure they're coming for the top.

03:25:17.000 But I enjoy that.

03:25:18.000 That's why I have it's a good thing that I enjoy the little things.

03:25:22.000 I enjoy simple things, innocent things, and I'm an innocent person, you know.

03:25:28.000 Let's see.

03:25:28.000 Eric says, Hey, Nick, I finally figured out how to purchase the merchandise on your site.

03:25:32.000 I just ordered a shirt and a hat, and I'm excited to wear it.

03:25:36.000 Do you think we need to hire a priest to perform an exorcism on Hillary Clinton? 0.91

03:25:40.000 What?

03:25:41.000 Did this super chat come from like five years ago?

03:25:44.000 I think the super chat got lost in time.

03:25:47.000 Message in a bottle.

03:25:49.000 Just washed up on the shore.

03:25:50.000 Tactical Nuke says, I hope you write a book about the 2016 campaign.

03:25:54.000 You have amazing intuition on body language and small details.

03:25:58.000 So many disgusting people may bank on these books and they don't even get it.

03:26:01.000 Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about writing a book and I have so much to say on a lot of things.

03:26:07.000 I'd like to write a little bit about like 2016.

03:26:11.000 I'd like to write about the Trump administration.

03:26:13.000 I'd like to write about my experience maybe with the election fraud in 2020.

03:26:20.000 There's a lot to talk about there.

03:26:26.000 Yeah, maybe I will.

03:26:28.000 I haven't gotten into the habit of writing in a long time.

03:26:30.000 And writing is painful for me.

03:26:33.000 To be a good writer and to write something really good, it's tortured. 0.98

03:26:38.000 You know, because anybody could just shit out a book. 1.00

03:26:40.000 Anybody could just shit out 200 pages of crap. 0.99

03:26:43.000 But I'm somebody that's very obsessive, very particular. 1.00

03:26:47.000 I'll sit there and look at a blank page for like five hours.

03:26:50.000 I've done that before.

03:26:51.000 You know, where you just sit there and go, how do I start this?

03:26:53.000 How do I write this?

03:26:54.000 How do I phrase this?

03:26:56.000 How do I order my thoughts?

03:27:02.000 It's actually counterproductive, but I got to just do it.

03:27:05.000 I just got to punch out a rough draft and then touch it up.

03:27:09.000 I just got to put words on the paper and just start producing something because I think that'd be a hot commodity.

03:27:17.000 Bill Billerson says Hey, Nick, Will Witt from PragerU is coming over to my university.

03:27:22.000 Should we ask questions about your flight situation?

03:27:25.000 What do you think would be the best question to ask?

03:27:27.000 I'm thinking questions about debt.

03:27:29.000 Debt?

03:27:30.000 About the national debt?

03:27:32.000 What's wrong with you?

03:27:33.000 Now ask about me.

03:27:35.000 Nolan says, We are rapidly approaching the endgame.

03:27:37.000 A notable conservative still won't say your name.

03:27:40.000 I will, Nick Fuentes.

03:27:41.000 Wow, well, thank you.

03:27:43.000 It's true.

03:27:44.000 We are in the endgame.

03:27:44.000 We don't have time.

03:27:46.000 Optics Respector says, Wing, Wang, Willy, Willy, Wishwash, you silly billy. 0.94

03:27:51.000 I don't think that's the real Optics Respector. 0.92

03:27:53.000 Something tells me. 0.54

03:27:55.000 Arn says, BB Biden.

03:27:57.000 Yeah, there you go.

03:27:57.000 Much better.

03:28:00.000 That's much better.

03:28:00.000 BB Biden.

03:28:01.000 I like it because it's alliterative.

03:28:04.000 Elliot Hamilton says, Dear Nick, on February 6th, 2014, you claimed that it was a good day to be a Fuentes.

03:28:09.000 Does that statement ring true to this day?

03:28:12.000 Back in February 6th?

03:28:14.000 I don't remember the context of that, though.

03:28:14.000 Yeah.

03:28:17.000 Oh, it was because it was that speech team event.

03:28:19.000 Yeah.

03:28:20.000 Good times.

03:28:22.000 What was that, seven years ago?

03:28:24.000 Oh, my gosh.

03:28:25.000 That was seven years ago.

03:28:28.000 I was a, what would I have been at that point?

03:28:32.000 A sophomore in high school seven years ago?

03:28:38.000 Jeez.

03:28:41.000 Where does the time go?

03:28:42.000 I've had a pretty productive seven years, I guess, but man, pretty crazy to think about.

03:28:52.000 Masato says, You can trust me, Nick.

03:28:54.000 Okay.

03:28:55.000 Ben says, ABC.

03:28:57.000 Thanks.

03:28:57.000 Neon Nicker says, God chose you for this purpose and he will see it through.

03:29:01.000 Those who persecute you now will weep and gnash their teeth at the judgment.

03:29:05.000 Oh, hopefully so.

03:29:06.000 Thanks for the big super chat.

03:29:08.000 I appreciate it.

03:29:10.000 I trust God.

03:29:12.000 Element Inspector says, Nick, does this mean you can't come to the UK anymore?

03:29:16.000 Or any other country for that matter?

03:29:17.000 How do you feel about the fact that you can't travel on a plane anymore?

03:29:21.000 Really? 0.96

03:29:21.000 Are you like brain dead or something? 0.96

03:29:23.000 You're on an old fly. 0.98

03:29:24.000 Yeah, I couldn't fly to Florida, but I could definitely fly outside the country. 0.99

03:29:27.000 Are you brain dead? 0.99

03:29:28.000 How do you feel about that? 0.99

03:29:30.000 I wish that wouldn't be the case.

03:29:30.000 Bad.

03:29:33.000 Caesar says, Yo, I love the hat.

03:29:35.000 It's great how it's made by the makers of the original MAGA hat.

03:29:39.000 AF Merch is basically a designer brand with the quality of materials and the designs you have.

03:29:43.000 God bless, Nick.

03:29:44.000 Thanks a lot.

03:29:44.000 I'm glad you like it.

03:29:45.000 We work really hard.

03:29:46.000 We work really hard to deliver a good product.

03:29:49.000 Because I look at like Charlie Kirk, and he literally has a red ball cap that says conservative on it, and he just pooped it out.

03:29:56.000 We really work hard to have cool stuff that people want to wear.

03:30:00.000 And yeah, I love this hat because it's like it is the Trump hat, you know?

03:30:04.000 It's made by the producers.

03:30:05.000 This is actually a prototype that we got from Alibaba, actually.

03:30:09.000 I don't even have the one that we're selling, I don't even have it yet.

03:30:12.000 I got to get Assistant Groyper to send me one because initially we found a company through Alibaba to do it.

03:30:19.000 This is a prototype from Alibaba.

03:30:22.000 And then I said, you know what?

03:30:23.000 No.

03:30:24.000 I said, they have to be made in America.

03:30:26.000 And we looked for a producer.

03:30:27.000 We couldn't find one.

03:30:28.000 I said, you know what?

03:30:29.000 Where did Trump get the hats made?

03:30:31.000 We found the company.

03:30:31.000 We looked it up.

03:30:33.000 And we sent an inquiry.

03:30:35.000 And we got a thousand hats made from, made in America, the same one that made the Trump hats.

03:30:42.000 I don't have mine yet.

03:30:43.000 I'm going to have Assistant Groyper send me like 10 of them.

03:30:45.000 But this is actually a prototype.

03:30:48.000 So we went to great lengths.

03:30:50.000 It's much more expensive.

03:30:51.000 Much more expensive.

03:30:52.000 It's three times as expensive to have them made in America as it is to have them made in China.

03:30:57.000 You know, keep that in mind.

03:30:57.000 So.

03:31:01.000 But, because everybody's always like, it doesn't cost more in America.

03:31:04.000 It's like, it costs way more.

03:31:06.000 It costs way more to have a made in America. 1.00

03:31:08.000 Autism Unstoppable. 0.97

03:31:10.000 So someday Nick will write a tell all with the juicy details he can't tell us right now.

03:31:14.000 Nick has done more for America than can be said at this time.

03:31:18.000 Yeah, you wouldn't believe the stuff that happens behind the scenes.

03:31:20.000 It's wild.

03:31:22.000 Tramboni Groypers has bought an AF hatted hoodie.

03:31:24.000 No matter what, we are inevitable.

03:31:26.000 Well, thanks a lot.

03:31:27.000 It's true, we are.

03:31:28.000 Element Inspector says, sorry, Nick.

03:31:30.000 I thought the no fly list meant no planes whatsoever.

03:31:34.000 Didn't know it doesn't apply for international flights from the U.S. 0.99

03:31:39.000 Okay, so you are brain dead. 0.99

03:31:42.000 Here's five bucks for the trouble. 1.00

03:31:43.000 Okay, so the dude is brain dead.

03:31:45.000 No, I can't fly on any flight, dude. 0.63

03:31:47.000 It's more secure flying internationally than domestically.

03:31:51.000 All right, all right, okay, that's our last super chat.

03:31:58.000 Geez, no, we got one more.

03:32:00.000 George Goypington says, no, we got three more.

03:32:04.000 Nolan says deep dish pizza, Italian beef, hot dogs, and Euros.

03:32:07.000 Any other Kino Chicago dishes I need to try when I visit?

03:32:11.000 Well, a dish cannot be Kino, okay?

03:32:13.000 Do you know what Kino means?

03:32:15.000 You got to get the Chicago hot dog.

03:32:17.000 You got to get the Euro, the beef, the deep dish pizza.

03:32:20.000 You also got to get the Chicago thin crust, tavern style, cut into squares, Chicago pizza.

03:32:28.000 Let me think.

03:32:28.000 What else?

03:32:29.000 Italian ice.

03:32:33.000 What's another Chicago staple?

03:32:37.000 Those are really the main ones.

03:32:42.000 I don't want to help tourists, though.

03:32:44.000 I don't want to help tourists.

03:32:45.000 It's for us, it's our culture.

03:32:47.000 But yeah, that's a good start.

03:32:49.000 Autism Unstoppable says, banned from domestic travel.

03:32:52.000 They didn't say anything about international travel. 1.00

03:32:54.000 Dude, how dumb are you? 1.00

03:32:56.000 How dumb are you, people? 1.00

03:32:57.000 That means if you want to fly to Florida, fly to Canada and then to Florida. 1.00

03:33:00.000 Yeah, great idea.

03:33:02.000 Dude, if you're banned from domestic travel, you're banned from international travel.

03:33:06.000 International travel is more secure than domestic travel, obviously.

03:33:11.000 If you can't fly within the country, you can't fly out of the country.

03:33:14.000 I thought that would just be obvious.

03:33:17.000 George Groypington says, if you're writing a book about the election and the ensuing events, I expect a nod in the acknowledgements.

03:33:23.000 For facilitating our tactical retreat from the feds in January.

03:33:26.000 Great show.

03:33:27.000 God bless.

03:33:28.000 Yeah, you'll get a shout out.

03:33:29.000 Thank you.

03:33:33.000 Element Inspectors is okay, Nick.

03:33:35.000 We will miss you over here in Wales.

03:33:35.000 I get it.

03:33:37.000 The sheep are delicious.

03:33:38.000 Yeah, I wish I could come out there and see you guys.

03:33:40.000 I want to go out to the UK, but I'm trapped.

03:33:45.000 I'm a prisoner in America, a political prisoner.

03:33:49.000 Okay, that's our last super chat.

03:33:51.000 That's going to do it for me tonight.

03:33:53.000 Jeez, a little bit rough on the super chats.
