00:00:16.000There's not one good story that hasn't been beat to death.
00:00:20.000I mean, there's obviously the royal engagement yesterday, which we talked about for the whole 45 minutes, for the whole duration of the show.
00:00:28.000There's more news about Roy Moore and the polls and Trump's reaction to that.
00:00:33.000There's this thing going on in Zimbabwe that everybody's talking about, and that's about it.
00:00:53.000I'm going through all my sources, I'm trying to find stories, and obviously there was a big incident today with the nuclear, or excuse me, with the ICBM fired by North Korea.
00:01:03.000We'll be talking about that and some other things.
00:01:36.000You know, this is supposed to be the far right.
00:01:39.000Like the mainstream far right paper and the amount of shilling on just the front page alone.
00:01:44.000I'm looking for what's going on because I get a little bit of both.
00:01:47.000And not because they're equally viable, both left and right, but you just want to get a variety of what's going on in the news and what people are saying.
00:02:12.000They might as well have Bibi Netanyahu running Breitbart, the way some of these stories are written about that conflict going on in the Middle East.
00:02:55.000You'd think Breitbart was supposed to be, well, I guess it's not surprising given who Andrew Breitbart was and some of the things that have been said about the founding of Breitbart.
00:03:03.000But just a little bit of disillusionment on that front.
00:03:07.000But anyway, our Canadians have really been failing us today.
00:03:12.000And I'm not going to get into that right away because we got to talk about North Korea.
00:03:15.000But that's the other thing I noticed today.
00:04:01.000There was another missile test this evening from North Korea.
00:04:05.000Early reports indicate that this missile was fired in western North Korea from a mobile missile launcher.
00:04:12.000U.S. officials said that this was an ICBM, judging by the amount of time that it was in the air.
00:04:18.000It was in the air for about 50 minutes.
00:04:20.000They judged that the range of this missile is 13,000 miles, an intercontinental ballistic missile.
00:04:28.000With a range like that, North Korea now has the capability to hit.
00:04:32.000Every state in the United States with a missile.
00:04:35.000They say, however, that the range would be reduced with a heavier payload.
00:04:40.000So, if you put a nuclear weapon on the missile, if you put some kind of a payload on the missile, it'll reduce the range.
00:04:47.000It might not be as much as 13,000, and therefore, maybe not the entire United States, but that missile would be able to strike everywhere in the country.
00:04:56.000The only places that would not be in range or within range for North Korea are South America and a few countries in Africa.
00:05:05.000So, Very scary stuff, needless to say.
00:05:19.000You know, this was not a major issue under Clinton.
00:05:22.000This was not a major issue under Bush.
00:05:23.000This was not a major issue under Barack Obama.
00:05:26.000And people might argue, well, you know, the capabilities have gotten better.
00:05:30.000But it really begs the question, you know, why has this escalated so quickly and gotten so intense?
00:05:37.000Really, just since President Trump got into office.
00:05:40.000I mean, it also coincides with Kim Jong un consolidating power and coming to power after his father died, but it's just a little bit suspect that we're seeing this.
00:05:49.000And, you know, I think regardless of what your feelings are on North Korea or even on the president, I'm glad that we have President Trump dealing with this situation because you know that if Barack Obama was president, we would be ignoring this.
00:06:04.000We would be ignoring this, or Barack Obama would be.
00:06:09.000The strategic patience stuff, or would be begging for peace talks.
00:06:13.000It is almost, I think, providential that we have a solid president in this case.
00:06:17.000You know, you imagine what would happen if Hillary Clinton were president, and you have the world coming apart everywhere.
00:06:24.000I mean, you have the world coming apart in Syria, in Yemen, in the Middle East at large, in Northern Africa.
00:06:31.000You're seeing a lot of violence, a lot of chaos in the South China Sea, in the Korean Peninsula, all kinds of catastrophes going on.
00:06:43.000I was telling somebody earlier today that last year in November of 2016, or rather October of 2016, I actually went out at about 9 p.m. in the evening to the BU Barnes Noble and bought myself a Bible.
00:06:57.000Because if you recall, in October of 2016, there were these tensions with Russia where Joe Biden was threatening a retaliation, and we went to DEF CON 3, and very alarming stuff.
00:07:08.000So I think it is an improvement that we have this guy in office instead of a neocon.
00:07:14.000Some kind of neoliberal hawk or whatever.
00:07:17.000But on the subject of North Korea, it is very worrying because what we're seeing is really, and I've said this before, it's this picture where we will not know until it is too late if diplomacy is viable.
00:07:30.000I mean, that's really the unfortunate part that we're coming to grips with here.
00:07:33.000And I've said on the show before, it is justifiable to go to war with North Korea.
00:07:39.000That doesn't mean I want a war in North Korea.
00:07:41.000It doesn't mean I think North Korea will strike us if they have a miniaturization capability, they can put the nuke on the missile.
00:07:48.000It doesn't mean I think it would be a good thing.
00:07:50.000It doesn't mean I want war right now, but it would be justifiable, and here's why.
00:07:55.000You look at the fundamental strategic necessity of these two countries, which have defined these two countries since the end of the Cold War, since the inauguration of this unipolar moment in international affairs, where you have North Korea without a superpower sponsor, without the Soviet Union, without China to back it up, and they are standing there completely vulnerable in the wake of the rise of the United States,
00:08:20.000unequaled in the history of mankind as a hyperpower, as the preeminent superpower.
00:08:27.000I mean, you think of how big the Defense Department is.
00:08:30.000We have Defense Department organizations for every region on planet Earth.
00:08:36.000You know, you have the African Command, you have the Middle Eastern Command, I mean, all over the place.
00:08:40.000And you're North Korea, you can't even feed your people, and you're coming up against a hyperpower.
00:08:45.000Well, the number one strategic interest is you develop nuclear weapons.
00:08:50.000You impose a cost on anybody who would want to mess with you, who would want to invade you, who would want to.
00:08:56.000Throw their weight around as we have in Iraq, as we have in Afghanistan, and many other countries which are seldom talked about.
00:09:03.000And if you're the United States, what we've seen since the end of the Cold War, as we've moved on from great power adversaries such as Germany or the Soviet Union or others, we look at the problem of weapons of mass destruction, the proliferation of WMDs, the problem of terrorism, of rogue states.
00:09:21.000And so the number one strategic objective or mission of the United States is to stop these dangerous weapons, which have an outsized effect.
00:09:29.000Offensive capability from falling into hostile hands.
00:09:33.000So you see very clearly, I mean, this is not controversial stuff, that the core geostrategic grand strategies of both nations are diametrically opposed to each other.
00:09:45.000They are mutually exclusive, they cannot exist.
00:09:52.000You know, you get a lot of these lefties, these peace people, the doves, and I'm a non interventionist, don't get me wrong, but you get people who are ideologically opposed to war.
00:10:03.000Or metaphysically or metapolitically opposed to war, and they say, you know, why is there conflict, man?
00:10:11.000What if we got rid of all the religions?
00:10:14.000Well, war happens very simply because you have these insecurities between different tribes of people, because you have these conflicting interests, whether that be over land or people or money or power or this imbalance of military power.
00:10:30.000And so, how do you reconcile a world where North Korea says, We want nuclear weapons, and the United States says nobody but the countries that do have nuclear weapons should be allowed to pursue them.
00:10:44.000Well, there's no getting around that, unfortunately.
00:10:47.000I mean, you can try, and there are ways you can get around this.
00:10:51.000You know, there are things that we can try.
00:10:54.000I mean, there are workarounds, there's a fix, if you will, that can be pursued.
00:10:59.000I mean, we can try our best, and that's what we're doing right now, to choke North Korea economically so that it's like either we'll destroy you economically or we'll destroy you militarily.
00:11:10.000But again, we won't know until it's too late whether or not it's worked.
00:11:15.000And that's unfortunate because a lot of people would like to see a peaceful resolution.
00:11:20.000There are no good military options here.
00:11:22.000I mean, that's the takeaway I think from this episode for people to respect war and for people to respect life and the fragility of the world order.
00:11:33.000Because you look at the situation with North Korea where we go in there, and the only way that we're going to prevent.
00:11:40.000In any measure of certainty, a nuclear reciprocation by North Korea, that is, we declare war or there's aggression towards us and they launch a nuke at us, is if we have ground forces and they invade and they invade hard and they invade quick.
00:11:57.000And even in that circumstance, even if you're trying to get the most certain that you reduce the most amount of casualties by, of course, neutering their nuclear capability or their biological or chemical weapon capability, even then, The artillery power of North Korea against neighboring Seoul, the capital of South Korea, the biological and chemical weapons they have, which we don't know where they are, which we don't know to what extent they are capable of deploying those.
00:12:25.000We cannot be sure that they won't, in some measure, attain a nuclear capability, either if they develop their nuclear submarine, or God forbid we don't locate all the nuclear weapons or destroy them in time.
00:12:37.000We are looking at a war that, if it happens, and it's looking like it might be inevitable, it might be irreconcilable, no other way other than.
00:12:46.000Physical force stopping them from doing it with the barrel of a gun, where millions of people are going to die.
00:12:53.000And, you know, there's just no way around that.
00:12:56.000And it's very sad and it's very tragic.
00:12:59.000And, well, I guess we'll see what happens, right?
00:13:04.000But it's just a shame that it has to be like this.
00:13:07.000And, you know, that the reason that it has to be like this, because it didn't have to be like this 25 years ago, it didn't even have to be like this 10 years ago.
00:13:16.000It wasn't until very, very recently, as I said before, that.
00:13:20.000The situation has spiraled out of control to the extent that it did.
00:13:25.000Kim Jong il was not as wacky, as reckless, and accelerationist as his son, as his successor.
00:13:34.000It's only been in a very recent span of time that this has been stepped up in terms of the missile technology, the nuclear tests, shooting missiles over Japan.
00:13:45.000And so this is really the culpability for this is on people like Bill Clinton.
00:13:49.000The culpability is on people like George W. Bush.
00:13:52.000And you have to ask yourself why didn't they address it?
00:14:11.000What kind of a person, because of politics, because of public approval, they don't deal with this obviously imminent threat to the health and safety and lives of every citizen in the country?
00:14:29.000It's just downright criminal irresponsibility on the part of these people.
00:14:33.000You know, think of George W. Bush who went to war in 2003 against Iraq, where there was no evidence that they were producing weapons of mass destruction, or at least nuclear weapons.
00:14:43.000They found chemical, but there was no nuclear weapons there.
00:14:47.000When in the meantime, you had Iran who was caught that same year in 2003 with an illicit nuclear program, or you had North Korea who had a nuclear program, you had Pakistan who had a nuclear program.
00:14:58.000For 20 years or 10 years, actually, at the time.
00:15:01.000Israel, who had had a nuclear program for 50 years at the time.
00:15:06.000And we didn't seem to care so much about those.
00:15:37.000This is the worst humanitarian disaster in years, the worst in the world, and we're bankrolling it, we're supporting it, and why?
00:15:45.000You know, why are we not dealing with the North Koreans?
00:15:47.000Why didn't we deal with them 20 years ago?
00:15:50.000It's just criminal negligence, or it's something else.
00:15:53.000And even if it is something else, it's still negligence.
00:15:56.000So it's just very sad that it has to be like this because you look at just how many people are going to lose their lives if this doesn't work out well, and it's a very slim chance that it's going to work out well.
00:16:09.000And you think, what an irresponsible, what reckless leadership or lack thereof, and millions of people are going to pay the ultimate price for that.
00:16:18.000It just really weighs on your soul a little bit.
00:16:22.000You know, because it did not have to be like this.
00:16:26.000We have been cornered and forced into a situation where it's almost a default position that millions of innocent people are going to die in the worst possible way.
00:16:38.000I mean, you look at the devastation caused.
00:16:43.000People's eyeballs melt out of their faces, their skin peels off, and the ones that don't get completely incinerated, they have horrible side effects with the radiation.
00:16:55.000I mean, if this is the worst case scenario, if people had just done the right thing, if a couple of people in these positions of power had done the right thing by our people and to a greater extent for the good of the world, it just wouldn't have happened.
00:17:17.000And that should really, I think, give you pause about life in general.
00:17:21.000You know, for me, this was when I really started to grapple with politics in a serious way.
00:17:27.000I was a high schooler when I got into politics.
00:17:30.000And when you're a high schooler, nothing's really real, right?
00:17:34.000I mean, you're in this kind of artificial universe, this construct, right?
00:17:40.000Within a very self contained closed loop system.
00:17:44.000And you go home, you don't really have to do much.
00:17:47.000When I got to college and I thought about what would happen, I thought about how I would fend for myself if there was going to be a nuclear strike on the United States.
00:17:56.000You know, with all the rhetoric that was going on in 2016, where they were talking about cyber attacks being punished, they were shutting down embassies and DEF CON level was raising.
00:18:07.000And I really thought to myself, what happens if I'm going to die here?
00:18:15.000And you really start to grapple with it, you understand just how fragile everything is.
00:18:19.000And that is what leads you, I think, and that is what leads this movement necessarily into a much more holistic and existential picture where we have to answer those fundamental questions because inevitably these things are going to happen.
00:18:34.000You know, when you're fighting for something and you're not going to budge on it, there will be martyrs, there will be violence.
00:18:41.000And if you believe in principles, you have to be willing to sacrifice, you have to be willing to give it up.
00:18:46.000And that's why it has to get into an existential place.
00:18:49.000That's why for a lot of people, the political component alone, the Racialist component alone isn't sufficient because you look at how quickly things can devolve into a violent and messy situation, and that is the case more often than not.
00:19:05.000And we need solid people that are prepared for that.
00:19:07.000So there's a really good article, and before I move on to the next topic, I will shill for this.
00:19:12.000There's a really good article about this exact subject by C.S. Lewis.
00:19:18.000He writes about this anxiety about the nuclear age, which many people were living in after the Manhattan Project was completed.
00:19:26.000About how do we deal with the fact that, you know, at any minute when you have ICBMs coupled with nuclear weapons, a foreign nation can launch a missile and you're just gone.
00:19:58.000If we survive this, if we make it out of this, here's some stuff that you're not going to hear anywhere else.
00:20:03.000This is some very high IQ international affairs posting.
00:20:08.000What this will mean, the consequences of this going forward, has nothing to do with North Korea.
00:20:14.000Why this is so important right now and how Trump interacts with North Korea and the precedent he's setting is how it pertains to our relationship with China.
00:20:35.000This will be expedited soon, probably.
00:20:37.000And if it's not, it will become irrelevant.
00:20:40.000Or if it's neutered, it'll play into this.
00:20:42.000The much broader situation that's going on here that's playing out is the relationship between the United States and China.
00:20:50.000And this, mark my words, when you're 30 years down the road and you see this, or you're 50 years down the road and you remember what I said and you see what's going on, this will be a litmus test for how the United States will interact with China.
00:21:06.000How the United States will cope with the peaceful rise of China as a world power, because that is the prevailing trend of the next 100 years China rising as a cultural, economic, military, and population power in the world, and how the United States will cope with their decreasing role in the world.
00:21:29.000You know, the United States will be a power for a very long time, a great power for a very long time.
00:21:34.000The population is growing, the economy is the biggest in the world.
00:21:38.000You just look at the assets, the infrastructure, we're not going away.
00:21:41.000That said, the supremacy that the United States has enjoyed, I'm talking military, political, et cetera, since the end of World War II and even to a greater extent after the Cold War, is rapidly going away.
00:22:31.000But if China offers an international finance system that is a viable alternative to ours, we have to worry about many North Koreas and China in addition to that.
00:22:42.000That is emerging with an adversary that is actually formidable.
00:22:46.000China right now is head and shoulder stronger than the Soviet Union ever was or could have been.
00:22:52.000And if that doesn't keep you up at night, I don't know what does.
00:22:55.000So, North Korea, very scary that we could be nuked any moment, but the real scary thing is China.
00:23:01.000Because if we don't handle this right, and odds are historically that we will not handle this well, I mean, this was the same sort of power dynamic between Britain and Germany that led to the two world wars.
00:23:17.000You imagine a conventional or a nuclear war with these two preeminent superpowers and imagine the weapons that will be available in a short amount of time in terms of orbital weapons, space weapons, laser weapons, some of the supersonic weapons they're developing.
00:23:33.000You look at the missile technology or the plane technology.
00:24:00.000And a good resource on that is Mearsheimer.
00:24:03.000Mearsheimer wrote about this in the 1990s in his book, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.
00:24:09.000And he forecasts that it's likely there will be a war between the United States and China, but he gives some examples of how we can avert that.
00:24:16.000And Henry Kissinger talks about this as well in his book, World Order.
00:24:20.000Highly recommend those reads for my international relations friends.
00:24:24.000The Tragedy of Great Power Politics by Mearsheimer.
00:24:27.000He also wrote a great book called The Israel Lobby, we're checking out.
00:24:57.000I mean, do these people, you got to imagine, how do these people take this stuff?
00:25:01.000I mean, really, how do you have it that you have a leader who goes, he tours the country apologizing for your people, your country, your government?
00:25:12.000I don't know how you elect a person like that.
00:25:15.000I don't know how you get on with a person like that as the leader of your country.
00:25:19.000But he went on today before the House of Parliament with a formal apology.
00:25:25.000To the LGBTQ2 community, which is lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, queers, and the two spirit.
00:25:35.000The two spirit, that's a Native American thing.
00:25:37.000You see, when we came over here in 1492 and we brought our oppressive, rigid gender system, whatever, the Indians, the Igloo people, apparently had this two spirit ideology or gender where they were both male and female.
00:26:37.000Yeah, imagine having to fight for things like a nation of your own, having to fight for, I don't know, loving your own people, loving your own culture.
00:26:57.000I imagine it in a disassociative way because I don't know what that's like.
00:27:02.000I don't know what that's like to have to fight for the basic rights that are having a country of your own, being proud of who you are, being proud of your family, being proud of your ancestors and culture, not hating yourself.
00:27:30.000Having your domain registrar confiscate your URL?
00:27:34.000Having all the different web hosting services kick you off the internet?
00:27:40.000Getting locked up in jail without bail as a political prisoner?
00:27:43.000Yeah, gee, I. Wouldn't know what that's like.
00:27:46.000Wouldn't know what it's like to be criminalized as a person, to be arrested or whatever for what you're saying.
00:27:52.000Quote, the number one job of any government is to keep its citizens safe.
00:27:57.000And you know, when Justin Trudeau or people like Barack Obama are bringing in millions of people from the violent third world, they have that in mind, right?
00:28:08.000I just don't know how people are not in the streets right now, knocking over buses and throwing. Molotov cocktails through government offices.
00:28:19.000Not that I encourage that, but I don't know how that's not happening with the kinds of double standards that you see every day and so obvious.
00:28:26.000I mean, I don't know how this guy gets up in front of the Commons or Parliament or whatever and he talks about, imagine what it's like essentially to be a white person in America.
00:28:36.000And it's in, ironically, an apology to the Inuits and to the LGBTQ2 and on and on.
00:29:55.000Was it because he was a libertarian or was it because he wasn't on board with the anti white agenda?
00:30:01.000Couldn't be any clearer if they tried.
00:30:04.000It's almost like I'm half betting, joking, of course, that when we figure it out and everybody's like, hey, you hate white people, they're going to be like, yeah, we were trying to tell you.
00:30:30.000You go on Twitter after the night of the blue checks and look who was de verified and who wasn't.
00:30:37.000I mean, you got Richard Spencer, who's never said anything negative about black people, who's never said, like, I hate, he's never said any sentence like, I don't like black people.
00:31:49.000They say, Nick, you really don't believe what the government says?
00:31:52.000You really don't believe that academia is a good thing?
00:31:55.000You really don't believe Hollywood's full of liars, et cetera?
00:31:59.000Well, how does anybody take any of these institutions seriously when they are just built on this house of cards of contradictions, hypocrisies, just downright injustices?
00:32:09.000But Justin Trudeau, what a goofy fellow.
00:33:29.000But suddenly, he's felt the need to conform to the system, to fall in line with the rest.
00:33:37.000And I'll tell you why I feel this way.
00:33:38.000First, it was the incident at Ryerson University, where he was set to appear on a panel with Faith Goldie that was hosted by this school.
00:33:47.000For whatever reason, it got rescheduled.
00:33:49.000And when it was rescheduled, Faith Goldie was disinvited because of her appearance on the Daily Stormer podcast at Charlottesville.
00:33:57.000Now, Jordan Peterson, who is the free speech zealot, who is the, you know, he tells you, tell the truth or bad things happen, you know, that's his own standard.
00:34:09.000Not only does he not put up any protest that they are censoring a journalist, disinviting a journalist because she holds the wrong opinions, not only did he not fight that, he was complicit in the event.
00:34:21.000He attended the event, he gave a speech.
00:34:23.000And then when somebody called him on it, he made up this half assed excuse like, Oh, there's associations and it hurts our message.
00:34:34.000Unfortunately, whether you agree with that pragmatic angle or not, whether you agree with that nonsense that he said, whether you think Faith Goldie is good or not, his brand, his own standard for moral conduct is to tell the truth, is to have unfettered free exchange of ideas.
00:34:54.000You have to hold the man to his own standard.
00:34:57.000You cannot build your brand saying, tell the truth or genocide happens.
00:35:02.000Being a free speech zealot, making a big stink over political correctness, and then you attend an event where they censored a journalist because she held the wrong opinions.
00:35:14.000I wish we could judge him by a more generous standard, but that's what he set up for himself, unfortunately.
00:35:20.000So there was that, and that put a bad taste in my mouth.
00:35:23.000Many people said, you know, Nick, give him a chance.
00:35:36.000I'm not an individualist, but the fact of the matter is, if you want to build strong families, you have to have strong individuals, and so we should encourage responsibility and accountability and all the rest.
00:35:49.000I mean, a lot of these thoughts that he's had, which are to an extent reheated Jung, Nietzsche, Soltz and Nitsen, and only the politically correct Soltz and Nitsen, I agree with that stuff.
00:36:00.000But when you have somebody who they violate their core principles, And without shame, without apology, I can't trust anybody like that.
00:37:06.000Quote, those who have accomplished something as individuals feel no need to be proud of their race.
00:37:12.000Or rephrased, those who have accomplished nothing as individuals feel compelled to be proud of their race.
00:37:18.000So he's basically saying, if you're proud of your race, you're a pathetic loser.
00:37:24.000All the people that take pride in their heritage, all the people that take pride in their race, the reason that they do that is because they're insufficient.
00:37:44.000And this kind of logic from this kind of a guy, it's just such a slap in the face where you defend this guy, you think this guy's on your side, and he's going to bear down on us just like the people he's fighting.
00:37:56.000And people may criticize me for punching right, but I've never countersignaled white identity.
00:38:01.000I've never countersignaled saying that we are under attack and we have to stand together because the forces that are against us are too powerful for us to be.
00:38:11.000For us to be criticizing each other ideologically or politically in this kind of way, in this very disingenuous, dishonest kind of way, and with bad intentions, where he's telling people that the only reason they could take pride in their race is if they haven't accomplished anything.
00:38:29.000I, without even trying, I can think of all the greatest patriots in history who have done head and shoulders more than writing maps of meaning who take pride in their race.
00:39:08.000And he takes a real beating from everybody.
00:39:10.000And I'm just wild about this guy because his approach is like, Yeah, well, those are the facts.
00:39:16.000I mean, you just can't beat the kind of class that this Kevin McDonald guy has.
00:39:21.000He says, It's not about pride in one's race.
00:39:23.000It's about understanding that all people have a powerful genetic interest in their race and understanding what the demographic trends in all Western countries portend if whites don't begin to act.
00:39:34.000To secure a territory, which is fair, which is fair and honest and humble.
00:39:38.000And I think, compared to what Jordan Peterson is saying, which is disingenuous and kind of offensive and insulting, Kevin McDonald approached it, I think, in a very polite and with class.
00:39:50.000Jordan Peterson responds There are so many errors in this reply that it's difficult to know where to begin.
00:39:57.000First, no one has a quote genetic interest in their race.
00:40:34.000This guy seems like an honest guy, he seems like a good guy.
00:40:38.000But when you give me this stuff, just the brazen arrogance, pretentiousness, the condescension, so many errors in this reply, it's difficult to even know where to begin.
00:41:24.000I love, and here's where I really, here's where you really understand that this guy is a shill or this guy is a merchant, where we get to the classic, the favorite, that race is skin color.
00:41:42.000You don't like people who look different from you?
00:41:44.000You don't like them because they got a different color skin than you?
00:41:48.000Now, let's do a little thought experiment, okay?
00:41:51.000Does anybody in the entire world, on the entire face of the earth, believe that the only difference between a black man and a white man is the color of their skin?
00:42:05.000And don't read into that any more than what I'm saying.
00:42:07.000Think of black people, think of white people, think of black people, you know, think of black people culturally, historically, in everything.
00:42:14.000In totality, is the only thing that's different between black and white people that they're a different color?
00:42:51.000I would be the same as a black person.
00:42:53.000If I get what melanin injections like that one model, and I become, in all intents and purposes, a person whose skin color is black, that I would be a black person.
00:43:08.000And I think if we debunk that myth from the start, that would do a lot for us in terms of our argument.
00:43:14.000But that is just the peak of being disingenuous and dishonest because somebody as smart as Jordan Peterson, who has an IQ, I believe, north of 140, he says, whoa, big brain nibbous stuff.
00:43:26.000But doesn't want to admit what he knows.
00:45:11.000Because, and it kind of, it's ironic because that vindicates my point.
00:45:14.000People would say, you know, Nick, you're so sexist, you're so misogynistic for suggesting that politics is a male domain and the people who watch this program are male.
00:45:42.000As a traditionalist Catholic, what is your take on the legitimacy of post Vatican II popes keep up the good work?
00:45:53.000So you're referring to the sect that broke away after Vatican II in the tradition of Pope Pius X. You know, this pope and this papacy is not legitimate.
00:46:06.000This was forewarned by popes before the Second Vatican Council.
00:46:11.000And I just don't view it as legitimate.
00:46:14.000And it's tough to reconcile theologically because Catholics believe that the Roman Pope, the Roman, the bishop, the Archbishop of Rome is the Pope.
00:46:46.000I see the Pope, and it's tough to square the circle, but I see this papacy as illegitimate, not a legitimate successor to St. Peter, not a legitimate successor to the popes in years past, and it's really tough.
00:47:10.000I like the people that have broken away the, what's his name, Williamson, Bishop Williamson is a very smart man, and others who are in that movement.
00:47:19.000So we're with those guys, but we appreciate the super chat.
00:47:23.000Owen says, Nick, Nick, you live in the same city as Wrigley and went to school walking distance from Fenway.
00:47:38.000In my lifetime, I've been to a game at Fenway when I went on vacation to Boston many years ago.
00:47:45.000Wrigley, I've been to a couple of games.
00:47:46.000I've been to a couple of games at U.S. Cellular Park.
00:47:49.000There is no bigger and no more relatable example, I think, of the problem with unfettered neoliberalism, not capitalism, neoliberalism, than the White Sox Stadium.
00:48:02.000Now it's guaranteed rate park, I believe.
00:48:05.000I mean, does that just not illustrate the stark difference between what a conservative is and what a neoliberal is?
00:48:12.000Where you have on the north side of Chicago, Wrigley Park, home of the Cubs.
00:48:17.000And we love the Cubbies, we love Wrigley Field.
00:48:40.000They don't like the name of the stadium.
00:48:42.000The Jumbotron, it's covered with advertisements and all the rest.
00:48:45.000There's no better example than like the Roger Scruton types of conservatives who love their country, want it to remain the same in the ways that matter.
00:48:54.000And these damn small government merchant shills who just want advertisements everywhere and they just want the money to circulate at a higher rate.
00:49:02.000They care about the velocity of currency being moved and not the things that matter.
00:49:06.000So, anyway, been to a couple of games at Wrigley, been to a couple of games at US Cellular, and I've been to one game at Fenway.
00:49:14.000The thing is with Fenway, I don't care.
00:49:28.000I think baseball is one of the important ones.
00:49:30.000I think some of these commentators get a little stupid about it.
00:49:34.000You know, like George Will and Charles Cronhammer, the way they talk about baseball, like it's, I don't know, it's a little bit goofy for me.
00:49:42.000I'm sorry for the baseball lovers out there.
00:49:45.000The way people talk about it, it's like this religious experience for people.
00:49:49.000It's funny to me because, and here's why it's offensive to me George Will will write a column about the beauty of baseball and the dirt and the Home plate and the crunch of the wooden bat and the cheer of the crowd and the skills and what a beautiful game.
00:50:03.000And then he's willing to throw his own people under the bus for Hispanic immigrants.
00:50:08.000Like, yeah, okay, I would get it if you were saying baseball is great because it's connected to our people and our ancestors and our country, but it seems like these people romanticize and care more about the intricacies and the beauty of baseball than they do their own children, their own parents, their own land.
00:50:41.000But, yeah, eternal grudge against the baseball.
00:50:45.000Empress Finest says, I know you don't like, quote, having people on to just talk, but consider having Mouthy Buddha or Braving Ruin or someone like that.
00:51:16.000Some of the guests we get on, and it's just difficult because it's like we're trying to do a business, we're trying to get views, we're trying for people to watch the show.
00:51:25.000And some of the people that you get on, you noticed even in the call in shows, people come on the show, and sometimes it has a tendency to groan on a little bit.
00:51:45.000Eli was a good man, really a solid guy.
00:51:48.000And I've talked to him on the phone before, and he's just a really solid guy.
00:51:54.000I was kind of surprised about that because originally I pegged Eli as kind of like got his head up his butt with the rest of these guys, to be frank.
00:52:22.000With regards to our friend Reinhard Wolf or Patrick Casey, I guess is his name, well, you know, I wish him the best of luck with his little organization and little guy, little organization.
00:53:03.000You have to have a realistic vision of foreign affairs where North Korea has a nuclear arsenal.
00:53:13.000What will happen in a short order, what will happen in short order is they will miniaturize their nuclear weapons, put them on ICBMs, and what that will entail is they will have the capability.
00:53:23.000To strike the United States with nuclear weapons.
00:53:25.000This sounds like I'm saying things everybody already knows, but think of it this way.
00:53:30.000Maybe they don't strike us intentionally.
00:53:40.000Who's going to take control of that arsenal?
00:53:43.000What happens if this regime collapses and Kim Jong un fears for his life and he thinks that his life is in jeopardy and he has his finger on the button?
00:53:52.000I mean, you just can't account for these potentialities.
00:53:57.000Is it an acceptable situation that North Korea is in a position, either now or in five years or in 10 years, that they could wipe out the United States, that they could level the city that you live in?
00:54:12.000I don't think that's an acceptable strategic position for us to be in, unfortunately.
00:54:16.000The alternative is missile defense, which would completely destroy mutually assured destruction.
00:54:21.000That would be cataclysmic, that would overturn the order that's prevailed since World War II, or war.
00:54:29.000But this middle option, where we can ignore it and say it's a meme, it's a neocon meme.
00:54:35.000North Korea pointing missiles at us and threatening to blow us up is a meme.
00:54:39.000A highly unstable regime that will not last longer than five years economically has its missiles pointed at us.
00:57:55.000You know, you think of the resources expended for the United States, the most advanced country in the history of the world, to develop the nuclear bomb.
00:58:02.000And these third world poor countries that don't even have their girls in schools are building centrifuges and reactors and processing plants.
00:58:33.000But too often, I think people conflate the intelligence with wisdom.
00:58:39.000Wisdom is a very different thing from intelligence.
00:58:41.000You see, a lot of intelligent people in this world, lots of smart people in this world, but people who don't have intuition, who don't have perspective.
00:58:51.000And that is so much more immensely valuable, in my opinion.
00:58:56.000Like, when I go into politics, when I go into a subject, I don't go into it with this.
00:59:02.000High IQ, reasoned, big brain, analytical approach, as some people may purport to do.
00:59:08.000I don't go about it with the scientific method.
00:59:11.000My approach is largely based on intuition, largely based on a perspective, based on a common sense, an unconscious kind of prejudice.
00:59:22.000And I think that's natural and I think it's preferable.
00:59:26.000And that's a big difference I think you see with a lot of these centrists, liberals in general, is this divorce between.
00:59:33.000This intelligence where people get really caught up in their sophisticated ideas and they lose track of really the simplicity of these timeless things which we know to be true.
01:02:23.000Yeah, we could talk about it in the Discord later tonight if you'd like, in the serious political channel.
01:02:30.000And yet, you know, diplomacy will be necessary, of course.
01:02:33.000But again, you have an irreconcilable difference.
01:02:38.000There's no diplomacy that's happening, but like I said earlier, you won't know it's worked until either it's too late or it has worked.
01:02:45.000Because you can see this in two ways either North Korea is stalling and they're using the United States' unwillingness to go to war and their willingness to engage in diplomacy to stall them from engaging you so that you have more time to build up your nuclear.
01:03:00.000And defensive capabilities, or North Korea really is looking for an out.
01:03:04.000But again, we will know the day that they declare they have an ICBM with a nuclear tipped missile capable of reaching us, or they say, you know what, we're announcing our nuclear program.
