00:01:54.000But there's so much to get into tonight.
00:01:56.000So many interesting things to talk about.
00:01:59.000We have this episode with a lobbyist who was looking into the death of Seth Rich.
00:02:05.000And he was in a bit of an incident today.
00:02:07.000He was investigating the death of Seth Rich, this Republican, or I guess he's just kind of out there in D.C., this lobbyist.
00:02:15.000He had put a bounty for additional information about the murder of Seth Rich.
00:02:18.000He put a six figure bounty, $130,000 out there for information leading to some sort of conclusion on the death of the DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was killed allegedly in a botched robbery a couple of years ago.
00:02:33.000Today, this lobbyist who put out that bounty, and he was looking into it with a private investigator.
00:02:50.000You might have heard about this this week.
00:02:53.000But President Trump gave Vladimir Putin a call this week to congratulate him on being elected to a fourth term to the presidency.
00:03:00.000And the media couldn't be more upset about this.
00:03:03.000And we want to get into what this means about the deep state, what it means about Trump.
00:03:07.000There really are some significant things I want to delve into just about this entire Russian meddling business in the first place that I think isn't being talked about so much.
00:03:17.000But before I get into any of that, I want to first say a big thank you to a longtime Listener of the show.
00:03:32.000I got to say, I'm going to get in trouble or something.
00:03:35.000You guys are going to get me in serious trouble because every time I go to the P.O. Box, it's always the same lady that's working at the post office.
00:03:43.000Every time I go in, I pull out the box, I open it, it's another knife.
00:03:47.000So I'm going to get in big trouble, right?
00:03:49.000I'm going to get in, people are not going to be so happy with me.
00:04:41.000Basically, what they believe is that it's arbitrary who constitutes the nation in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, language, so long as they adhere to common values and a common system of government.
00:04:53.000Ethnic nationalists, there's a couple of definitions, but I think more broadly, the ethos of ethnic nationalism is the idea that there has to be something more than just a common culture.
00:05:04.000There has to be something more than just a common Uh, law and common language and all the rest, you actually have to have some kind of a biological basis for a nation.
00:05:13.000A nation has to be a people in the real sense of the word, a real nation in the historical, the classical sense of the word.
00:05:21.000And so we look to, for example, Germany, where you have ethnic Germans who comprise the nation, or Britain, where you have ethnic Englishmen or Welsh or Scots or Irish who constitute the nations in that, in that kingdom and that confederation.
00:05:34.000And so we're going to be debating about that.
00:05:38.000What I found interesting about this debate about ethnic nationalism and civic nationalism, there was a really good article written in New York Magazine by Andrew Sullivan about this topic.
00:05:47.000I encourage everybody to look into it.
00:05:49.000It's called Something About Can America Handle Tribalism?
00:05:53.000It's by Andrew Sullivan from the New York Magazine.
00:05:56.000And in reading that article and reading a lot of the literature that's out there about this topic, I've discovered that there really aren't two schools of thought on ethnic nationalism.
00:06:06.000You know, for many debates, whether it's guns, Or abortion or foreign policy.
00:06:12.000There's usually multiple schools of thought.
00:06:21.000And what I've discovered about ethnic nationalism is there are not multiple schools of thought.
00:06:25.000The real division in the country is not between pro and con.
00:06:29.000It's between people who acknowledge that this is a reality, who acknowledge that this is something that should be talked about, something that will be relevant to us.
00:06:38.000And there are people who simply ignore it.
00:06:40.000It's not between people who They've looked into it, they've read about it, they've grappled with the consequences, and they've come to a conclusion, and the conclusions are different or disparate.
00:06:48.000It's people who think about it and people who just want nothing to do with it.
00:06:52.000People who read about it, who think about it actively, think about its consequences, think about political solutions, and people who simply will not engage.
00:07:00.000They won't read about it, they won't talk about it, they'll pretend it doesn't exist because it's inconvenient to their worldview.
00:07:06.000And I think that's sort of the advantage that we have because you talk to how many of these brainiacs will you talk to in the college Republicans and Young Americans for Liberty, even in think tanks, even among adults, how many of these people will you talk to about the most entry level ethnic nationalist studies, statistics, talking points, etc.?
00:07:27.000And they have no defense against that.
00:07:30.000They have no way that they've been prepared for that because they have been shielded from that their entire life.
00:07:37.000They've been, what is the word I'm looking for, incubated in this civic nationalist bubble their whole lives.
00:07:44.000And so they don't even know what to anticipate.
00:07:46.000So it Should be a good debate on Friday.
00:07:48.000Just some observations I've noticed about that.
00:07:50.000We're going to get into the news here.
00:07:52.000I think the first thing I want to cover is this episode here with this lobbyist.
00:07:58.000And so the lobbyist's name is Jack Berkman.
00:08:00.000Jack Berkman, he's a lobbyist, and last year he set up this bounty for Seth Rich.
00:08:06.000And we recall the basic details of the murder.
00:08:08.000On July 10th, 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich, 27 year old guy, young guy, he was shot twice in the back and killed in what was allegedly a botched robbery.
00:08:20.000That's what the D.C. Metropolitan Police labeled that they called it a botched robbery.
00:08:26.000He had been working on a computer program for the DNC to assist voters in going to the polls, and although they called it a botched robbery, although they said.
00:08:34.000You know, there were signs of a struggle.
00:09:31.000All kinds of people have looked into it.
00:09:33.000And one person in particular is this lobbyist, Jack Berkman.
00:09:37.000Last year in 2017, he put out a $130,000 bounty to anybody who can offer additional information about the murder that would lead to the arrest or figuring out what exactly happened that night.
00:09:49.000So he put out that bounty, and then shortly afterward, he launched his own private investigation.
00:09:54.000He launched his own project looking into, and he hired his own PI looking into how we could find out what happened with Seth Rich.
00:10:01.000And he ended up hiring a man by the name of Kevin Doherty, who's a former Marine, former military man, had a great resume.
00:10:20.000He thinks that this is his investigation.
00:10:23.000Even though Berkman brought him on and is paying him and brought him on for his investigation, Doherty, the Marine, thinks this is my investigation and you have no right to interfere.
00:10:34.000He emails Berkman and poses as somebody who has information about Andrew McCabe.
00:10:41.000And he tells Berkman that he's going to leave a treasure trove.
00:10:45.000He's going to leave a cache of emails from the inspector general pertaining to the firing of Andrew McCabe under a traffic cone in a parking garage.
00:10:55.000This is the disgruntled former private investigator calling up his former boss, Jack Berkman.
00:11:01.000And he's pretending to be somebody who has information and saying, if you go into the parking garage, if you go under this traffic cone, I've left a cache of emails that should be the biggest.
00:11:10.000Story of a lifetime, and it's all for you.
00:11:13.000So Jack Berkman goes in the parking garage stupidly against the warning of his wife, who said, This is the FBI setting you up.
00:11:21.000Turns out to be this disgruntled employee.
00:11:23.000He lifts up the traffic cone to find the emails, and while he's bent over looking for the emails, the former employee, Kevin Doherty, shoots him twice, shoots him once in the butt, once in the leg, gets in his black SUV, runs him over, hits him with his car, and then backs up over him again before speeding off.
00:11:40.000And so this guy's in critical condition.
00:12:43.000However, upon further review, we look into Jack Berkman.
00:12:47.000And just two months ago in January, this is where I say, wait a second, wait a minute, something's going on here.
00:12:54.000Just two months ago in January, the lobbyist, Jack Berkman, he was assaulted outside of his Virginia home.
00:13:01.000He's coming home from work, he's going up to his house, and he finds that there's a black sports sedan in his driveway.
00:13:07.000Out pops a white guy in a black mask, a black jacket, and he pepper sprays Jack Berkman in the face, gets in the car, drives away.
00:13:15.000Now, maybe you have one murder attempt, and you say, oh, well, disgruntled employee, this is the other guy's, this is 24, this kind of thing happens before.
00:13:26.000Then you have just two months ago, Out of a clear blue sky, and nobody, by the way, seems to see anything weird about this.
00:13:32.000Nobody, I didn't hear about this in the news.
00:13:34.000I read the news every day, I read multiple sources every day.
00:13:37.000I have for about a year, and I didn't hear anything about this.
00:13:41.000That this John Berkman lobbyist who put up $130,000 for additional information about Seth Rich, who launches his own investigation into the murder of Seth Rich, somebody is waiting in his driveway, rather, not his parking lot, his driveway.
00:13:57.000They're waiting in his driveway for him to get home, so they know his address, they know who this guy is.
00:14:02.000Just to pepper spray him, and then they get away cleanly, no charges, no investigation, and this guy's got his whole face burnt off.
00:14:10.000He gets smashed over the head, and that's okay.
00:14:19.000And I think what this tells us about the entire thing, not just about Seth Rich and not just about Hillary Clinton, but I think about the whole deep state, is that something is really going on here.
00:14:33.000And maybe this has become a meme at this point.
00:14:35.000Because we talk about it a lot on the show how there are simply too many episodes like this in the last 9, 12 months that cannot be explained.
00:14:46.000I think it all kicked off with the Vegas shooting, but then you saw these airport blackouts.
00:14:50.000You saw the failure of the customs computers across the country, and then that Israeli plane came and went during the blackout.
00:14:57.000You had a house fire at Hillary Clinton's home.
00:14:59.000You had two plane crashes one night after the other, one who was involved with Comey, one who was involved in the building of the Clinton Library.
00:15:07.000I mean, there are just too many things.
00:15:09.000That GOP train, they took an Amtrak, the GOP congressman, to a policy retreat in West Virginia, and a garbage truck was parked on the tracks and derailed the train.
00:15:19.000I mean, there are just so many things that have happened since October, since President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and all the rest have been turning up the heat on the deep state.
00:15:30.000There have just been so many weird happenings, weird occurrences, things where there are no answers and there are no satisfactory answers, and the media doesn't look into it.
00:15:40.000And the media just lets it go after a day or two or three days, and there's cover ups, and they memory hole it, and it's very deliberate.
00:15:47.000And I just have to say, we don't have an answer for this.
00:15:49.000This is all, of course, I think, circumstantial in the sense that, you know, maybe on the off chance that this guy was looking into Seth Rich, who got killed in this weird robbery, and I guess he's just got the worst luck, right?
00:16:01.000I guess he's just got the worst luck that his best friend, who is a spokesman for Rick Gates, gets blown up in Afghanistan, and the last words he tells him is, be careful.
00:16:09.000And then immediately after that, randomly, somebody pepper sprays him in the driveway of his house.
00:16:14.000And then two months later, somebody says they have Andrew McCabe emails, and then they shoot him in the leg and run over him with their SUV.
00:16:22.000Maybe that's all coincidence, but I think we see this time and time again, week after week, day after day, these episodes that don't add up.
00:16:29.000And what I think it's all pointing to, if we can't speculate for a moment, what it's all directed towards, I think, is that you're seeing the deep state there in deep stuff.
00:16:42.000Because you see that President Trump and Attorney General Sessions and this, and who's the fella in the House whose name escapes me right now, the fellow who published the memo, the Nunes, Devin Nunes, who published the memo, and you look at what Grassley and And Lindsey Graham are doing in the Senate where they're bringing charges against the author of the Steele dossier, Christopher Steele.
00:17:02.000And you look at what's happening with the president, with this president's administration, and what he's doing with his attorney general, with his Justice Department, and everybody else.
00:17:10.000And I think what you're seeing is the noose is tightening around this criminal cartel.
00:17:15.000And from the outside looking in, I think you could look at these weird occurrences and you look at all the firings and all of the developments with the Steele dossier and the developments with the Mueller investigation, with the FBI and the firings.
00:17:28.000And all the different episodes within these two trends as separate, and they just all don't make sense.
00:17:34.000Donald Trump fired Sally Yates and fired Andrew McCabe and connected them to Comey and connected them to all these other people like Bruce Orr.
00:17:41.000And this is all just kind of arbitrary.
00:17:47.000And these weird other things going on on the sideline of all this important people being killed or suicided or their planes crash or their trains get derailed or there's mass shootings and cover ups.
00:17:59.000I think you have to look at them all as occurring in the same timeline, all as occurring at the same time, where very powerful people who have influence in the media, who have influence in the intelligence agencies and the alphabet soup agencies and defense and intelligence and all the rest, they are coming under very intense fire and scrutiny.
00:18:19.000And I think we're all going to see it culminate in the IG report later this month or in early April, which the inspector general's report, which was ordered by the president a little bit after his inauguration, they keep delaying when they're going to publish that.
00:18:32.000And of course, the inspector general. is looking into all kinds of things from impropriety in the election to Hillary Clinton's emails to Clinton Foundation pay to play.
00:18:41.000I mean, over the course of the past couple of years or the course of the last 12 to 18 months, they have continually expanded the scope of the investigation probably because they keep finding out new things and they keep encountering more and more roadblocks.
00:18:54.000And so the last extension, I believe, was that they said they would publish it late March, early April.
00:19:00.000And so we'll be on the lookout for that.
00:19:01.000I don't know what's going to be contained in that.
00:19:04.000The Attorney General has been awfully silent, which is pretty uncharacteristic.
00:19:09.000I know we saw Holder and we saw Loretta Lynch very vocal, very political.
00:19:52.000The big thing I want to talk about today, however, which has, I think, some greater implications.
00:19:57.000That's the news I would, I think, not be a great reporter.
00:20:01.000I don't consider myself a reporter, but I don't think I'd be doing my due diligence if we weren't talking about Seth Rich, because that's a cover up right there.
00:20:09.000But the big thing I want to talk about today, which has real implications about the president, has some farther reaching considerations here, is this congratulations that President Trump issued to Vladimir Putin.
00:20:22.000The big story this week was that yesterday the White House, they were under intense criticism because President Trump called up Vladimir Putin and congratulated him on winning a fourth term for the Russian presidency this week.
00:20:35.000And of course, there was a leak today that came out that said President Trump was explicitly told by an intelligence briefing in the morning not to congratulate Putin.
00:21:04.000It's everybody in the mainstream press and then John McCain and Lindsey Graham, of course.
00:21:09.000If it's Russia, if it's warmongering, if it's shilling for more conflict in the world, it's going to be Lindsey Graham and John McCain.
00:21:18.000The White House readout of the call said that the two leaders discussed the need for shared efforts on international stability, the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and mutual national security priorities.
00:22:03.000A statement which is factual, which is humble, which is true and realistic and pragmatic.
00:22:09.000The United States, it's not our job to dictate to other countries how they run their countries.
00:22:14.000And by the way, before anybody says, and people on Twitter are saying, this is exactly what Putin would like to hear, this is exactly what the tyrants of the world want to hear, this is the standard of international conduct as it has stood for 400 years.
00:22:33.000This is how the international Western state system has functioned for four centuries, which is to say that since the Peace of Westphalia and the inauguration of the Westphalian international state system, it is not the task, it is not the responsibility of foreign heads of state, foreign heads of government to meddle in the affairs of other countries.
00:22:53.000In fact, it was explicitly outlined in that treaty, which ended the Thirty Years' War, that the sovereign of the nation, the head of government, the head of state within the nation, It is their sole responsibility what happens in the country in terms of religion, in terms of forms of government, human rights, and all the rest.
00:23:14.000This is not, you know, we're sympathetic to tyrants and dictators.
00:23:18.000This is nothing short of how the international state system is explicitly and codified, how it was supposed to work for the past 400 years running.
00:23:35.000On Twitter, they're saying this is exactly what Putin would like to hear.
00:23:37.000This is exactly what they want to hear.
00:23:39.000John McCain says in response to the call, he says, An American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.
00:23:50.000And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future, including the countless Russian patriots over so much to protest and resist Putin's regime.
00:24:05.000And you know, this stuff is really rich.
00:24:07.000I think this really lays bare the hypocrisy that is in Washington, D.C., that is in the establishment, that is in the system.
00:24:13.000Which is, you have somebody like John McCain, who his sole mission in life is to make your sons and daughters go to war in foreign countries where we have no business, to send your children to war in Iran because they're not a democracy, to send them to war in Iraq because they're being mean to their neighbors, to send you to war in Yemen and Saudi Arabia and Egypt and North Korea and China and Russia and everywhere in the globe Venezuela, Colombia.
00:24:39.000And then he's going to talk about, you know, meddling in other people's affairs.
00:24:45.000But meanwhile, Your kids, your neighbors, your nephews, your uncles, your brothers, you're going to be fighting in Venezuela.
00:24:52.000You're going to be fighting in Colombia.
00:24:53.000You're going to be fighting everywhere where it doesn't meet John McCain's Atlantic Charter standard of democracy and Western liberal values.
00:25:01.000We're going to go in and we're going to blow up the royal palace, execute the royal family, and then bye bye, then we'll just have anarchy in those countries.
00:25:11.000And so it's incredibly rich coming from John McCain that we hear these talks of democracy and we hear these talks about freedom and liberalism and.
00:25:29.000Where the pro Russian government was ousted by a pro Western government through interference by the European Union in the United States?
00:25:37.000So again, you have this double standard where it seems like, and this is not, a lot of people will point out and they'll say, this is whataboutism.
00:25:44.000They'll say, whataboutism was the strategy that was used during the Cold War.
00:25:49.000Where the United States would say, hey, the Soviet Union is massacring people in Budapest and in Prague, they're repressing political dissidents and all the rest.
00:25:57.000And the Soviets would say, well, what about your race riots?
00:26:01.000And that was seen as kind of like a cop out.
00:26:04.000It's not whataboutism to say that when John McCain and Brennan and all these people, Lindsey Graham, all these hawks, all these intelligence community guys, are going to blast Donald Trump and beat the American people over the head with this bloviating talk about democracy and liberalism and standards, it's not whataboutism.
00:26:24.000I don't think it's deceptive to say that you yourselves need to be held to the same standards of conduct.
00:26:30.000If democracy is so important to you, if liberalism is so important to you, if non interference is a principle of yours, if it's principle over party and country over party and all of that stuff, if that's really the case, then why is it that when it's your war, when it's a war for your donors, a war for your lobbyists, a war for the people paying for your campaign and who fund everything you do, That's fine and well.
00:26:56.000In the case of Lindsey Graham, if it's the donors that have your gay sex tape, then it's fine and well.
00:27:01.000Then we can support everything from illegal foreign money to puppet governments in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, and all the rest, to full blown regime change with full on, full scale war.
00:27:15.000John McCain has advocated for wars from, I think, every continent in the world, from great powers to small powers, and Africa and Asia, I mean, all over the globe.
00:27:24.000If he doesn't like it, if it's a dictator, If they say a nasty word about America, if they have a fine natural resource we might want to tap into, he says that we should go in there and think about the humanitarian cost here.
00:27:37.000In the case of Libya, for example, where people like this will support NATO airstrikes against Muammar Gaddafi and they'll depose Muammar Gaddafi, who, say what you will about him, he was able to bring together three very separate, historically distinct nations and try to create some kind of national identity in Libya in the wake of colonialism and all this stuff in the wake of two world wars.
00:28:37.000Where are all these talkings and grandiose speeches and rhetoric?
00:28:42.000High flying, throwing rhetoric about liberalism and democracy when you have these people who are in a war zone 24 7, people being born into a war zone, children growing up in a war zone with terrorism and militias.
00:28:54.000And the National Review types, they'll talk about hey, we have the Constitution, and even if the country went to hell, even if it was the worst place in the world, at least we have the Constitution.
00:29:03.000Hey, you know, Libya, they don't have a stable government, they don't have public sanitation, they have to eat rodents and each other because there's no food and no supply lines.
00:29:12.000But hey, at least there's not a dictator there.
00:29:14.000And you just got to love the hypocrisy.
00:29:46.000No other country in the world even comes close to our conventional or our nuclear military power.
00:29:53.000No country comes close in terms of spending for our military, comes close in terms of aircraft carriers, in terms of overseas military bases, in terms of just about anything you can imagine.
00:30:03.000No other country even approaches the United States.
00:30:33.000If we don't actively antagonize and bust their balls and do all these provocative things on the doorstep of Russia and China, I just don't understand it.
00:30:41.000Can anybody explain to me the national interest in running up to Russia essentially and just saying, eh?
00:30:55.000And you'll have adults, you'll have otherwise intelligent kids in college that echo this rhetoric, that echo these sentiments about, you know, we need to stand up to Russia and Russia is this bad country.
00:31:06.000And I just simply don't know where they get off.
00:31:09.000It's America's obligation or it's America's privilege, even.
00:31:22.000So they say this, and I guess getting away from all that stuff, which is pretty standard fare, the hypocrisy of the neocons and the hypocrisy of the establishment, is probably the greatest hypocrisy of all, which is the fact that you have John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
00:31:35.000They're bashing Trump, saying, you can't be the leader of the free world and congratulate Vladimir Putin.
00:31:41.000Pretty innocuous thing, but they say it's sending a signal that we approve of tyranny.
00:31:46.000Are they going to talk about how the EU Commission Chief Juncker, the German Chancellor Merkel, the French President Macron, all congratulated Vladimir Putin as well?
00:31:57.000Because the liberal media of the neocons in the establishment, they have it like President Trump has the special affection for Vladimir Putin, and that's why he called them up on the phone.
00:32:07.000Never mind the fact that everybody's favorite futurist female liberal leader, Merkel, called and said much more flattering things.
00:32:15.000And so did right wing technocrat Macron.
00:32:18.000And so did left wing globalist Junker of the European Union Commission.
00:32:22.000They all called them and said, Congratulations.
00:32:25.000And if that's not convincing, we have another.
00:32:27.000Person who everybody seems to be a big fan of these days, even in the Republican Party, Barack Obama, who six years ago did the same, called President Putin up in 2012 and congratulated him on his election victory.
00:32:39.000And in that case, it was even more shocking because this came right off of comments that Barack Obama made to Vladimir Putin's number two guy, where he said at the time, what was going on in Russia was that Vladimir Putin had served two terms.
00:32:55.000And at the time, the Russian Constitution said you can only serve.
00:33:01.000And so, Vladimir Putin, who was serving as the president, he put his prime minister in charge as president in 2008, and Putin became prime minister.
00:33:09.000And so, when Barack Obama was dealing with the president, who was really just the puppet, who was the former prime minister, he said, Tell Vladimir Putin I could be much more flexible after my reelection.
00:33:18.000So, number one, he said that, and everybody, all the neocons, really hit him over the head with that.
00:33:23.000And then, right after, once Vladimir Putin gets elected, after changing the constitution to say that, oh no, the term limit is only non consecutive, and actually, no term limits.
00:33:32.000And actually, the president can serve for six terms and he fixes the election.
00:33:35.000Barack Obama calls him then and says, Congratulations.
00:33:38.000And we didn't hear the same kind of stuff from the liberal media about praising dictators, praising sham elections, and all the rest.
00:33:45.000And additionally, you have to point out that not only do these neocons, not only do these establishment characters, not only does it not seem to matter about when we interfere in other elections and any of that stuff, but we actively support countries all around the world that have sham elections, right?
00:34:14.000You know, this is probably the finest example Israel, where you look at what Israel has done in their two wars against Hamas and against Hezbollah.
00:34:25.000You look at the war in Lebanon, and you look at how their conduct was in terms of human rights, where they were just murdering children, where you look at what the snipers were doing, and they were just.
00:34:35.000Shooting children's genitals, shooting children in the eyes, shooting them in the head.
00:34:39.000You look at the rate at which the IDF was killing children as opposed to militants, the rate at which they were killing civilians as compared with militants, the way they used white phosphorus on people and burned them with illegal chemical weapons, the way they themselves hold the only illegal nuclear program in the Middle East, the only active nuclear arsenal in the Middle East.
00:35:07.000I like what we're doing on the show in these past couple of weeks, which is showing people in black and white, plain as day terms, why these people can't be trusted.
00:35:15.000We're not saying John McCain's a liar because he is on the different party than me, or he disagrees with Trump, or he's fake news, or he's a Jew, you know, nothing like that.
00:35:26.000We're trying to show you in black and white terms why here is what they say, here is what their stated beliefs, principles, et cetera, are, and here's what they do.
00:35:35.000If this were so, Then this would be the case, but actually, it's much more like this.
00:35:40.000And I love that we do that because here is somebody who maybe you could make this case to me that liberalism is the way.
00:35:46.000Maybe you could make a reasonable case to me that Russia is hacking our election.
00:35:49.000Certainly, I don't want Russia hacking our election.
00:35:52.000If that were happening, I would say I would like them to stop that and we should take action to prevent that.
00:35:58.000But then you understand that the same people that are talking about Russian hacking, they themselves were involved with Russian spies, they themselves were involved with the Ukrainian government.
00:36:07.000They themselves are bought and paid for by foreign lobbies.
00:36:10.000They themselves have supported the same things they're accusing the Russians of.
00:36:13.000So it's like maybe I could hear you out and maybe we could have a conversation about Russian meddling and Russian hacking.
00:36:20.000But the most pernicious, the most sadistic, and sinister lie of our time is that these conversations are neutral.
00:36:31.000That when we talk about Russian meddling, when we talk about foreign policy, when we talk about Donald Trump, that these conversations or race or religion, Or any of these conversations that these are happening in a neutral setting.
00:36:44.000That it's pro and con, and they put out their evidence, and the other side puts out their evidence, and there's this critical analysis, when in fact nothing of the sort is happening.
00:36:51.000You have an establishment which owns all the media, which owns all the social media, they own all the newspapers, and all the radio stations, and all the television, and they own all the congressmen, and they own the political parties, and they run the multinational corporations, and the banks, and all the rest, and they inject their narrative into every facet of your life.
00:37:11.000Your television shows, and your movies, and your political.
00:37:16.000And so the idea that we are in any way starting off from a level playing field is the biggest lie of the decade, the biggest lie of the century.
00:37:25.000We are asymmetrically opposed to the establishment.
00:37:28.000They'll say, oh, well, you know, you're not being fair to us.
00:37:36.000It's like, wait a minute, we're all the way down here.
00:37:37.000You've already bought and paid for all the media, you've already injected your billions of dollars.
00:37:42.000George Soros, who moved $18 billion into his political operation, or he could look at the You know, the character of some of the people that own the media and some characteristics about them that unite them.
00:37:52.000You say, wait a minute, we're down here.
00:38:00.000And he said, you know, Nick, you have it out like, oh, you know, a certain group of people, the globalists, have this influence in the media.
00:38:07.000But here you are on your YouTube show.
00:38:09.000And these people seriously believe that it's comparable that we have, you know, this YouTube show with 10,000 subs.
00:38:15.000And we have, you know, in the greatest extent, Mike Cernovich.
00:38:18.000And he doesn't even tell the totality of the truth.
00:38:21.000And that's comparable to, Fox News, the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, and all the rest.
00:38:27.000But then, you know, to get back into it, I think here's a really good way to kind of close it off, to really make you think, to really activate the almonds here, and really make you think.
00:38:36.000They say that Russia interfered in our election, right?
00:38:39.000They say they care about Russian election interference, and they try and shame us, they try and guilt us.
00:38:44.000I mean, this is what it's all about you can't like Russia, you can't even want to be diplomatic with Russia because they hacked our election.
00:38:57.000Even if it happened, I really don't care because there's already so much foreign influence.
00:39:01.000If Russia put Trump over the top, thank you, Russia.
00:39:04.000Russia cares more about our own people than our politicians do.
00:39:08.000Russia put in somebody who wants to protect our people, wants to protect our jobs, our factories, wants to save us from the opioid epidemic.
00:39:33.000In my own city, Last month, it's reported that Rahm Emanuel, and you might have heard about this, is rolling out this new municipal ID system where illegal immigrants can go and they can get this.
00:39:47.000I forget what they call it, but it's a municipal Chicago ID.
00:39:50.000And they can go and get this ID, they say, so that illegal immigrants can be brought out of the shadows and they could ride public transportation and they could use the library and all the rest.
00:40:05.000So, Rahm Emanuel, because he's got no shot at re-election coming up in a couple of years, or I think it's 2018 he's up for re-election, because he's got no shot to win, he's very unpopular, he's been a total disaster, he's now going to introduce this new voter ID card so illegal immigrants can go in and vote for him in the next election.
00:40:22.000And I look at something like this, and I look at the attempts to enfranchise illegal immigrants in California, I look at the attempts to enfranchise DACA recipients in the entire country, mostly in Texas and California, I look at the efforts to legalize illegals, to get people over here so they can vote, and I think to myself, Democrats, liberals, and Republicans.
00:40:42.000Paul Ryan, John McCain, all these people, Mitch McConnell, who are so in favor of giving amnesty to illegal immigrants, they have no problem with Mexican nationals coming across our border and voting in our elections.
00:40:56.000And what do you think they vote for when they vote in our elections?
00:40:58.000Do you think they vote in the interest of the United States?
00:41:00.000Or when these people come over here for medical care and they go back, and they come here and they have their kids so their kids can become citizens, or they come here so they could put their kids in school, or they come here so that they could.
00:41:11.000Work a little bit, and then they go back and they pay for a big house in Mexico.
00:41:14.000When these Mexican nationals come into our country, or they're from Guatemala or El Salvador or whatever, they come over here and they vote in our elections, and they're not citizens of this country, but they're citizens of another country, and they vote in our elections in Chicago and California, or if they're not doing it already, people want them to.
00:41:32.000People want to make it legal for them to do so.
00:41:34.000Does that not constitute foreign meddling in an election?
00:41:38.000Consider the following thought experiment.
00:41:53.000Would there be a big push in Congress right now to legalize 1.8 million Russians so that they could have full citizenship and they could vote in elections?
00:42:18.000When it's not, suddenly that all goes out the window.
00:42:20.000We want refugees, but not the South African ones.
00:42:23.000We want immigrants, but not the European ones.
00:42:25.000We want illegals to vote in our elections and meddle in our elections, but not the people that are going to push us towards having sovereignty again.
00:43:58.000I said, you know, look, hey, look, isn't it kind of weird that X, Y, and Z and all the rest, and they're coming around slowly but surely, but sometimes it takes that.
00:44:08.000These are deep seated, foundational things that people have been indoctrinated into believing, and they're browbeat every day with this kind of stuff.
00:44:18.000And it takes a little bit of bullying.
00:44:20.000It takes a little bit of abuse to get it through.
00:44:21.000I mean, don't alienate anybody, but I mean, people have to be shown the truth.
00:44:25.000You have to deliver it with a little bit of conviction.
00:44:27.000It's not just an edgy thing, it's not like a phase.
00:44:30.000I can't tell you how many people will say, I know you're young and you don't read and you're not in college and you have these radical beliefs.
00:44:36.000And everybody who says this, they simply either don't know the things that I'm talking about or they have no answer for it.
00:44:42.000You know, I've gotten into debates with people who are, you know, like Will Chamberlain, R.C. Maxwell, reporters.
00:44:48.000I mean, all kinds of people who they have education, they've gone to school for this, they report on politics, and they simply don't have satisfactory answers.
00:44:55.000That's when you have to drive the point.
00:45:35.000But I believe with suicide, it's almost a guarantee.
00:45:38.000Joe the Serb says Hey, Nick, please drop a bomb on black pilled punks who say we shouldn't hold our elected representatives to account on gun control.
00:45:48.000By calling and sending emails because it doesn't matter, except that we in the gun rights community have had great success with these methods.
00:45:54.000I mean, I don't know if it's black pill to say that it doesn't have a great effect.
00:45:58.000I don't think, you know, whenever they're talking about lighting up the switchboards because Trump is at it again, I don't think that's having a crazy effect.
00:46:06.000It probably has a bigger effect, I would say, on congressmen as compared to the senators or to the White House.
00:46:12.000I think you'll have the best luck with a congressman because by proportion, they're representing the least amount of people.
00:46:17.000If you're talking about a senator, they're representing the whole state.
00:46:19.000If you're talking about somebody in the executive, you're talking about the whole country.
00:46:24.000So, probably your best bet would be your congressman.
00:46:57.000Is there something else going on that's a reason we're getting killed tonight?
00:47:01.000I got to tell you, Andy Worski coming back was probably like the worst thing that happened because Andy Worski comes back and it's like ratings go from here down to here because people want to see the conflict and he's got more subs than me.
00:48:01.000But now that they have this window opened up by MAGA, where it's a little bit more ambiguous, where there's, I think, some kind of a.
00:48:10.000Mandate for these kind of pundits to go off script and go off the reservation a little bit.
00:48:15.000I think they're more willing to engage in those kinds of ideas and things.
00:48:18.000So I think Tucker, I think he's very red pilled and he's doing us a great service.
00:48:22.000You know, I love all these lower quartile alt right people who every time Tucker Carlson or Ann Coulter says something they approve of and they like to their millions and millions of followers, they take credit for that.
00:48:34.000You know, Tucker Carlson talks about the Rothschilds and whoa, we're suddenly on the Tucker train.
00:48:39.000Suddenly we're all about Tucker Carlson.
00:51:48.000How is that going to resonate with anybody?
00:51:50.000Got this teal and white, this weird triangle thing, Identity Europa with the stylized V, Europa with the V. It just doesn't make sense to me.
00:53:17.000So, you know, I don't know what's civic nationalist about seeing how alien the colors and symbols are, but maybe for a low IQ person, you can't tell.
00:53:27.000Totally not a troll says Streamlabs is not boomer friendly, unfortunately.
00:53:59.000That makes sense, actually, because I thought that that just meant it only would transfer into my PayPal, not that you required PayPal to use it.
00:55:37.000I just think it's not going to happen.
00:55:38.000It's not a matter of against or in favor of it, it's just a matter of this is simply not realistic.
00:55:43.000It's simply not the regional fault lines are not relevant in 21st century America.
00:55:50.000I think, for example, I'm in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:55:54.000I have a lot more in common with people in the suburbs of Los Angeles or people in the suburbs of New York or people in the suburbs of Birmingham.
00:56:02.000Than I do with people of rural Illinois or people of Iowa or people of Minnesota or Wisconsin.
00:56:08.000I just don't have those kinds of things in common.
00:56:11.000I think the South has a strong regional identity, but even that's eroding.
00:56:14.000You look at the population centers in the South, and they're metropolitan, they're diverse, just like any other city.
00:56:20.000I told you about when I went to Charlottesville, I landed at a tiny airport where they don't even have an air bridge or whatever, a sky bridge to connect.
00:56:28.000You have to just get out on the tarmac.
00:56:30.000And I get out of this tiny airport, I call up an Uber, and it's a guy from Africa who picks me up.
00:56:34.000Not an African American, a guy from Africa.
00:56:37.000In Charlottesville, Virginia, in central, you know, what should be a small town, Virginia, and you have immigrants there as well.
00:56:44.000And so I think the cleavages in the country are not regional.
00:56:47.000And your question is like, well, you don't think that those cleavages exist.
00:57:54.000I can't tell you how many people say, Because of your show, I started going to the gym, because of your show, I started going to church, because of your show, I got involved in my local GOP, or your show got me through a tough time in my life, and that's that's just what you like to hear.
00:58:07.000So, Nick, did you see Paul Nealon's gab rant from today?
00:59:33.000And Gene Ives ran as very conservative.
00:59:35.000She beat the hell out of Rauner in a debate, and she came very close within four points, even though Rauner spent tens of millions of dollars, and Ives had no money and no ground game.
00:59:44.000She came within four points around her.
00:59:46.000But that said, Pritzker's going to kill it.
00:59:48.000Pritzker is this big, fat billionaire Jewish guy from Chicago who he just runs the show down there, and he's going to become the governor.
00:59:56.000He spent something like $80 billion out of his own money on his campaign, which tells you everything.
01:02:47.000I don't think there are any good arguments for that.
01:02:49.000I guess the, because it's really kind of indefensible.
01:02:52.000I guess the best argument is like, I don't know, because there are no arguments to support the fundamental premise, which is that people are equal.
01:03:00.000There's nothing to support egalitarianism, not empirically, not scientifically.
01:03:05.000Nothing that we know about history or anything else shows that this pathological egalitarianism is true or has any basis in reality.
01:03:12.000So I don't think there are any strong arguments.
01:03:14.000I don't think there are any best arguments.
01:03:16.000I don't think there's any adequate arguments, to be frank.
01:03:20.000Joe the Serb, Nick, what I was saying is that many of these reps are afraid of their constituents on issues like gun rights, most of all.
01:03:26.000With groups like the NRA and the GOA on their tails on the state level and to a slightly lesser degree, calling, sending emails works.
01:03:47.000I will grant you the NRA and gun owners are big.
01:03:51.000DL says, Nick, how are you going to take back the country when whites are going to be a minority in about 30 years and are having less kids?
