LETS GO? Macron SLAUGHTERS Protesters, RULES BY DECREE, Boomers To Be Euthanized | America First Ep. 1135LETS GO? Macron SLAUGHTERS Protesters, RULES BY DECREE, Boomers To Be Euthanized | America First Ep. 1135
A bill that would ban minors from using TikTok until they are 16 years old. It's a good start, but I think we need to lower the age to 16 to make sure our kids are protected from being on the app until they're 18. Also, a new bill passed in the state of New York that would force all minors to wait until they were 21 to use TikTok. I think this is a step in the right direction, but some are concerned that it may have First Amendment problems. I'll tell you why I don't think it's a bad idea and why you should support it. And I'll also talk about the recent protests in DC against the White House's plan to raise the retirement age to 67. I'm not a fan of the idea, but it's an idea that needs to be pushed forward. Also, I talk about how much better our police are than the ones we have now and why it should be much better than it is now. I also discuss the latest in the NFL and the protests in the streets. I don t like the way the cops are being treated by the NFL. Finally, I give my thoughts on the "Field Day" protest in DC and why we should be paying our cops more benefits.

00:02:48.000A couple of years off of this age here, because honestly, as long as we're thinking about what's best for the youth and everything, we gotta protect them from social media, but we can't protect them from prospective husbands.
00:04:57.000When it's like in the Capitol, for Trump, the cops are the real insurrectionists.
00:05:04.000And the protesters are the real police.
00:05:08.000So it's a little bit actually it actually is context dependent, but But what a show we start off the show strong we support Macron joke about being attracted to underage girls What could be better than this?
00:05:25.000Yeah, I don't really have too much else to report.
00:05:27.000I had a pretty average day Had a pretty average day did some work did some chores Did a little Twitter
00:06:25.000We noticed in my first ever Rumble exclusive on Monday that apparently I'm shadowbanned on the website which is outrageous because they're supposed to be First Amendment free speech platform and I do this stream and I'm the second biggest live streamer on the site at a given time on Monday and in spite of this I'm not on the front page.
00:06:58.000So a lot of people complained and people were telling me yesterday when I was doing my show and simulcasting on Rumble, people said that apparently the shadow ban has been lifted.
00:07:09.000So I'd like to try it out and test it and so maybe I'll do a stream this weekend.
00:07:14.000And there might be some good content coming up.
00:07:17.000People have been bugging me about getting on Fresh and Fit.
00:07:20.000I'm going to see if I can get on there.
00:07:22.000I'm going to be making a trip down to Florida for Baked Alaska's release from prison in just a couple of weeks.
00:07:31.000So I think we'll be doing some big collaborations shortly.
00:07:46.000I know a lot of you guys didn't watch the show last night because I started at 2 a.m.
00:07:51.000but we talked about last night how this Trump indictment looks like it's not coming and it's a huge disappointment not just because we are deprived of the content.
00:08:19.000It would have helped him secure the nomination, would have helped him win the presidency.
00:08:24.000So I'm a little bit disappointed we didn't get that, and now there's just nothing else.
00:08:29.000But I'd like to do, maybe tomorrow and maybe next week, I'd like to do some shows on foreign policy.
00:08:37.000Honestly, I've just been really busy, so I haven't been doing enough reading on this, but there's a lot of stuff going on in the foreign policy world that is just not being covered in the mainstream news.
00:08:48.000I don't know if you've seen any of this.
00:09:32.000And Andrew Anglin pointed this out on Twitter, and it's true.
00:09:37.000There have been these earth-shattering developments in the foreign policy realm, and they're just not being covered at all.
00:09:45.000And I know that because I read the news every day for this show, and I see this stuff on Twitter, and I see this stuff on Russia Today, and I see it on Telegram.
00:09:56.000A lot of the sources that reported on the Ukraine war are reporting this.
00:10:00.000But if you check New York Times, BBC, Fox News, they're not talking about it.
00:10:06.000And Andrew Anglin said, it's almost like the American regime is
00:11:13.000It says, quote, Utah has become the first U.S.
00:11:16.000state to require social media firms get parental consent for children to use their apps and verify users are at least 18 years old.
00:11:26.000The governor said he signed the two sweeping measures to protect young people in the state.
00:11:31.000The bill will give parents full access to their children's online accounts, including posts and private messages.
00:11:39.000Under the measures enacted on Thursday, a parent or guardian's explicit consent will be needed before children can create accounts on apps such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
00:11:51.000The bill also imposes a social media curfew that blocks children's access between 1030 p.m.
00:12:05.000Under the legislation, social media companies will no longer be able to collect a child's data or be targeted for advertising.
00:12:13.000The two bills, which are also designed to make it easier to take legal action against social media companies, will take effect on March 1st, 2024.
00:12:22.000Similar regulations are being considered in four other Republican states, including Arkansas, Texas, Ohio, and Louisiana, as well as the Democrat state, New Jersey.
00:12:35.000But some advocacy groups warned that the new legislation could put children at risk.
00:12:41.000You'll never guess who is against this, by the way.
00:12:56.000But I think anybody would agree, regardless of what you think about any specific measures, again, and the specifics of what's in these bills, I think just about anybody, no matter how liberal, would agree that there needs to be some legal protection for children from Big Tech.
00:13:18.000And you can take that however you want, but I think anybody would agree, whether it's in the realm of data and privacy,
00:13:26.000Or it's in the realm of lewd content like pornography or it's in the realm of mental health and how the algorithms and these apps are designed to be addictive.
00:13:38.000They're designed to have this dopamine response mechanism where it's an endless scroll or this swiping or things like microtransactions.
00:14:04.000Man, if you could really brainstorm, if you could really sit down and use your imagination and try to imagine who would stand to thwart this and say, we cannot get in the way, who would it be?
00:14:26.000Ari Cohn, a free speech lawyer, nice, a free speech lawyer for tech freedom, said the bill posed significant free speech problems.
00:14:38.000He said, quote, there's so many children who might be in abusive households, who might be LGBT, who could be cut off from social media entirely,
00:14:51.000These children just have to be subjected to pornography, said Ari Cohn before attending a bris and a child rape session.
00:15:27.000But then everywhere you look it's something like this.
00:15:31.000Big tech is out there just raping your kids every day in every conceivable way.
00:15:38.000I just listed like half a dozen issues which are separate.
00:15:42.000The data mining, the microtransactions, the porn, these dopamine-type mechanisms.
00:15:52.000Every day your kids are being targeted by the S&P 5, the biggest companies in the world.
00:16:03.000Trillion dollar market cap companies are going to work every day with an army of the best lawyers, software engineers,
00:16:14.000Marketing people and they are going to war every day to steal minutes and hours and days from your children's lives and to just molest them.
00:16:27.000Take all their search queries, record the audio through the microphone on their phones, record their clicks, record
00:16:38.000Even minute things, they create an electronic identity based on the kind of keyboards they have installed on their operating system.
00:16:48.000I mean, you name it, they are going to war every day to wring your kids dry.
00:16:54.000Every dollar, every cent, every second, every minute.
00:16:59.000And here you have a state like Utah that is beginning to try to put up some kind of legal barrier to this and who is there putting up their hands saying, no, we can't do it?
00:17:28.000There will come a day when you have common sense bills against like... I'm sure when the bill had to be passed against raping kids there was like a Jewish freedom advocate that said, no, no, wait a second!
00:18:07.000So, I mean, that's very funny and everything, but the big picture is this is really good stuff.
00:18:13.000And this is what the future looks like, in my view.
00:18:18.000And I was tweeting about this the other day.
00:18:21.000We as Christians, and we as people that are right-wing,
00:18:26.000We have to challenge ourselves to imagine what a future is going to look like if America becomes Christian, when America becomes Christian.
00:18:36.000And it has to go beyond this negation.
00:18:42.000It has to go beyond looking at the furthest extent of liberalism and saying, ew, no, stinky.
00:18:52.000When I look at these social conservatives, which I think a lot of them are grifters, I look at these guys like Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles.
00:19:02.000What's the positive platform they're offering?
00:19:06.000All I see is they're just complaining about trannies all the time.
00:19:09.000Complaining about drag queens and complaining about trannies.
00:20:02.000And so reimagining the society, it's not just about showing up to a Drag Queen Story Hour and bullying the most marginal people.
00:20:12.000And I know that's left-wing language talking about the so-called marginalized, but effectively that's what it is.
00:20:19.000It's taking the most alien, taking the most freakish, the most weird, the most offensive, and it's showing up and it's saying, pile on, fuck you, you know, you're weird, you're crass.
00:21:22.000They're willing to concede pornography, profanity, ludity, apostasy, everywhere, just not the kids.
00:21:31.000In some cases, they say things like, well, just not very young kids, like in the case of Florida, where the very conservative governor, Ron DeSantis, says, you cannot indoctrinate our children about homosexuality until the fourth grade.
00:21:51.000And it's like, at some point, we have got to have, and this is what this is about, we have got to have the moral conviction to say, these things are wrong.
00:22:03.000They are always wrong, they are wrong altogether, for everybody, all the time.
00:22:10.000What people are doing, in effect, is hiding behind children.
00:22:15.000And they want to take this agnostic approach for society.
00:22:21.000And society really is what you believe fundamentally.
00:22:28.000What I mean by that is people want to go out there and say, well, you can have your pornography, and you can have your gay marriage, and you can have your tranny surgeries, but just not our kids.
00:22:42.000If you're going out there and saying that people can partake in these things in the society, you're giving license for people to partake in these things.
00:22:51.000Do you even believe that they're wrong?
00:22:53.000It's almost like they're hiding from saying, from having a moral conviction on these issues.
00:23:00.000If you're unwilling to say these things should not be permitted in the society because they are wrong, it's almost like you're unwilling to say they're wrong at all.
00:23:11.000And so instead they say in a very limited sense, well it's not wrong, it's just not what I want for my kids.
00:23:18.000But those are two very different things.
00:23:21.000You could say, I don't want my kids to have sugary drinks.
00:23:24.000I don't want my kids to watch Family Guy.
00:23:30.000But if you're unwilling to say these things are wrong for society, we don't want to live in a country where these things are popular, or these things are considered acceptable, then you're really unwilling to stake out a moral position on these issues.
00:23:48.000Gay is wrong, trans is wrong, porn is wrong, etc.
00:23:52.000You're just saying in a very narrow private sense, in a very agnostic sense, well it's just not right for me and by extension my children and my family.
00:24:12.000I'm saying I like this bill, I think this bill is a great start, and I think that this bill is headed in the right direction because it's considering things that are bigger than just attacking trannies at the Drag Queen Story Hour or whatever.
00:25:35.000We believe that we have to follow that.
00:25:38.000We believe that's the most important thing.
00:25:40.000And if that's the most important thing, then the aim of government and the aim of society should be to make it possible, and you could say to facilitate people being able to abide by a moral and a natural law.
00:25:56.000Like, this is a revolutionary, this is a truly alternative idea, rather than saying that the purpose of government and society is to facilitate people doing whatever they please.
00:26:29.000We believe that society and government does have a purpose and it's not facilitating people's appetites, pleasures,
00:26:38.000It is to facilitate them and to make it possible for them to live what we know to be a healthy, moral, fulfilling life.
00:26:51.000And therefore, in the service of that, we will not permit people to do drugs, we will not permit people to use pornography, we will not permit people to profit from those things, we will not permit people to market those things to children or anybody, or promulgate the idea that those things are acceptable.
00:27:12.000Like, that would be... that would be where we need to go.
00:27:51.000It produced things that we can see are plainly injurious, plainly causing misery, plainly causing people to be idle, unproductive, chemically dependent on pharmaceuticals, lonely, all kinds of other problems.
00:28:12.000We've rediscovered the need for what we had before.
00:28:31.000I like to see these kinds of conversations.
00:28:34.000But we, as the America First Movement, as the Christian Future Movement, we have got to be the immovable, fixed standard of what it is to be right-wing.
00:28:46.000And it's like literally our job to always be shaking our head and saying we're not there, not good enough.
00:29:15.000And this is an argument that went on even in the age of television.
00:29:19.000It is true that technology and capital are more powerful than the parents.
00:29:26.000The argument around television used to be something like parents should take better care of their kids or something.
00:29:33.000Parents should regulate what their children see on TV.
00:29:37.000We know that the ubiquity of media and technology and the ubiquity because of their financial power has made parents to some extent impotent in the face of these things.
00:29:51.000You can have very conservative, very Christian parents.
00:29:54.000You could have even powerful parents that can't control their kids.
00:30:00.000And so that's a place where the government needs to step in and mediate these things between the population and these interested commercial parties.
00:30:09.000We have to see the government as having a responsibility as a representative and a defender and an intermediary between what's in the public interest, what we know to be good for the people, which means families, children, and then these other powerful institutions, powerful interests.
00:30:29.000So I think it's a pretty revolutionary thing to be hearing in the 2020s that government should get in the way.
00:30:37.000Government should introduce itself and stand in the way between a trillion dollar tech company and little kids.
00:30:46.000And by the way, they're in some cases helpless parents.
00:31:59.000In fact, I think it's reasonable to say the government should have a role in retarding some of these major transformations because clearly a lot of these things are not good.
00:32:12.000Big interesting development in Utah, but I think I would see this as more of a starting point than an ending point.
00:32:21.000I look at a lot of the things that are going on that people are cheering on and I'm saying this is really just like the bare minimum.
00:32:28.000And don't get me wrong, it's got to start somewhere, but it has to go further.
00:32:36.000And so that's why you can't have people going out there and saying, hey, mission accomplished.
00:32:44.000Because unless it gives birth to this conversation and to the possibility that this is going to keep increasing, then it really isn't making much of a difference.
00:34:33.000Some people, for example, would be hooked on drugs and would not be able to control themselves.
00:34:41.000In another world, if the government was intensely regulating that and made it impossible to acquire drugs, those people would be better off.
00:34:52.000And you can apply that logic to a lot of things.
00:37:53.000How can we transform the educational system so that we can scout out and find the next Mozart?
00:38:00.000How can we transform the primary and secondary education system so that that person can get mentorship, that person could get
00:38:09.000Apprenticeship, whatever you want to call it.
00:38:12.000How can we build a culture where we can connect the disciplines and connect the best and brightest from throughout the world and also within our country and facilitate them creating great works?
00:38:25.000That's the kind of mindset that we need.
00:38:28.000And then you start to think about, well, how do you find them?
00:38:50.000And get the geniuses the most resources and get the, you know, the top 20% into high-level government positions and high-level business positions.
00:39:20.000We would need to put them in some institution or something like that.
00:39:25.000Sanitation, street sweeping, whatever.
00:39:28.000But this is, and then, and I want people to really think about this, this is an exercise in the kind of mindset and the kind of thinking that everybody needs so that we can begin to bring forward from the future what our Christian country is going to look like.
00:39:49.000Something that I learned, and I said this on the Pearl Show and I've been saying this in interviews, working with Ye has really transformed how I think about things because talking with him for hours every day about politics, what I realized is that so much of my thinking and the thinking in this sphere
00:41:52.000And I got to thinking about we, as extremely intelligent right-wing people, we need to have people that are invested in actual disciplines.
00:42:01.000We need a professional class of revolutionaries that are not just bureaucrats, but are also scientists, philosophers, engineers, theologians.
00:42:12.000We need people that actually know about real things.
00:42:18.000And we need people that have real ideas.
00:42:21.000We need people that can actually improve the world, that goes beyond just talking about the past, and talking about people, and talking about bullshit.
00:42:34.000There's so much hot air in the space, and it made me realize, and I think that's what happens when you encounter somebody
00:42:56.000That has to be the direction that people in this space begin to take.
00:42:59.000That's the only way we're going to win.
00:43:02.000The movement that defines the future will not be made up of complainers and talkers, and I'm saying this as a talker, people full of hot air.
00:43:13.000The movement of the future, the society, small society of highly motivated intelligent people, the society that will increase in legitimacy and integrity and power and will eventually replace the existing one, it's going to be the one that is smarter, better, it's going to be the one that has answers, that has ideas,
00:43:38.000That has business skills, that understands tactics, that is religious, that prays, that has loyalty, character, trust, these kinds of attributes.
00:43:50.000So I know this is all a little bit off topic from the initial story which is about this bill in Utah.
00:43:59.000I don't know how I even got on this train of thought here.
00:44:04.000But that is the kind of mindset that we all need to start challenging ourselves because it's difficult.
00:44:11.000We need to start to challenge ourselves.
00:44:13.000Oh, I remember talking about education, geniuses.
00:44:17.000That is a quick little exercise in getting you to think about, getting you to really imagine and critically think.
00:44:37.000And then how are we going to put it all together?
00:44:40.000Well, that's, you know, that's where the politics comes in.
00:44:44.000But people need to start to come up with these ideas rather than just reacting, reacting, this slavish, reactive impulse that says, oh, drag queens?
00:45:37.000They're saying something, rather than taking away.
00:45:44.000If they invested half as much into projects like that, maybe we would be in a different place.
00:45:50.000But we cannot win, we cannot define the conversation until we start putting out our own initiatives.
00:45:56.000And putting out our own initiatives means stop reacting to the other side, and thereby letting the other side define us by subtraction or negation.
00:46:10.000I want to get into this story about France.
00:46:15.000Because that's a little bit of a detour.
00:46:17.000But I want to get into this big news story about Macron and what's going on over there.
00:46:24.000Like I said, the reason I'm talking about this story is because there's a major lesson in here.
00:46:29.000And this gets to what we aspire to be and what a model might look like for us.
00:46:36.000What's going on in France this week, which is that the French President Emmanuel Macron... Now, a little background.
00:46:45.000Macron just won another five-year term recently, and he is the first French president to win re-election, to win a second term in a generation.
00:46:59.000It is notorious that French presidents
00:47:02.000Are not popular and they get voted out.
00:47:05.000And the people don't have a lot of confidence in their government over there.
00:47:26.000And so what that means is that he has a mandate.
00:47:30.000When you win an election, that means the people have confidence in you, that means that the people have selected you to lead, and that is the responsibility of the executive.
00:47:42.000The head of state, the head of government, their responsibility is to lead.
00:47:47.000They have power, they have responsibility.
00:47:50.000Because of their power and privilege, they're the responsible party.
00:47:55.000And that means that their obligation is to lead, to set the tone, and ultimately to be the will that pushes the country forward, to push through political projects, to guide the development of the society by enforcing and applying the laws, sometimes decrees.
00:48:42.000French authorities are struggling to suppress protests against Emmanuel Macron's pension reform.
00:48:49.000Over a million demonstrators took to the streets across the country in what some security sources described as an insurrection against the government in Paris.
00:48:58.000Tens of thousands of workers went on strike and protesters blocked public transportation, schools, and oil refineries.
00:49:05.000Attempting to break up the protests, police used tear gas, water cannons, flashbangs, and batons.
00:49:12.000Videos making rounds on social media showed heavily armored officers clubbing unarmed demonstrators.
00:49:19.000The police estimated more than a million protesters were in the streets.
00:49:24.000The outpouring of popular discontent was triggered by President Macron's announcement that the retirement age will be raised from 62 to 64 starting next year.
00:49:35.000Macron insisted that the change was necessary, otherwise the pension system would go bankrupt within the next several years.
00:49:42.000Appearing on television, Macron said that his only mistake was failing to convince people of the decision's merits, but insisted that he would not back down even if that means having to, quote, shoulder unpopularity.
00:49:56.000While there is a constitutionally protected right to protest, said Macron, if the malcontents use violence, then that is no longer a democracy.
00:51:33.000They had to pay a FICA tax, they had to pay into a separate account, not the general account, but pay into a separate account in the federal government, into a trust, and that money was supposed to be invested, and over the years a worker was paying into this system, and it was accruing interest, and then when that worker retired,
00:51:56.000They would have a government retirement trust available that would be able to pay out benefits to that worker, to that retiree, until they died.
00:52:15.000And in America, it became a pay-as-you-go system.
00:52:18.000We're instead of a worker paying into a trust over the years and the interest then building and being able to pay that back over time, instead what you have in America, it became this in France, it is this, you have a pay-as-you-go system where the current workers are paying the current retirees.
00:52:41.000The government is taking a portion of a worker's paycheck and paying a retired person.
00:52:49.000The problem with this is that eventually you have more retirees, you have more beneficiaries, than you have workers.
00:52:58.000And it becomes a very simple math problem.
00:53:01.000As the population ages, and as there are more old people than there are young people, and more retiring people than there are workers, then there is not enough money.
00:53:11.000If you have at some point maybe one worker for every beneficiary,
00:53:18.000You're not going to be able to support the beneficiaries anymore.
00:53:23.000There just isn't enough money in that pool to take from a worker and then give on a one-to-one basis to somebody that's retired.
00:53:31.000Especially as the life expectancy increases and the retirement age remains unchanged.
00:53:40.000And then you factor in inflation, rise in cost of living, and so on.
00:53:44.000You've got... There are a lot of math problems with this.
00:53:48.000And ultimately, here's the problem, and this is just my thoughts on this topic.
00:53:55.000Because the old people are the rich people.
00:53:59.000The old people have had an entire lifetime to earn money and save money.
00:54:05.000And yes, they have anticipated that they would have a government pension or a government social security or something.
00:54:14.000But they've also had a lifetime to earn and save.
00:54:17.000It's the young people that have no earnings.
00:54:19.000It's the young people that have no wealth.
00:54:22.000It's the young people that have no job experience and so therefore are unable to command a high wage.
00:54:30.000So, you're really stealing from young people who are facing a tougher economy than the boomers ever did.
00:54:37.000You're also asking young people who do not have the same earning power and saving power and time in the market as a boomer does to now pay for the boomers retirement.
00:54:50.000On top of this, and here's the other thing,
00:54:54.000Everybody considers it to be political suicide for a government to touch retirement or pension, because of course these boomers, they're the ones that vote, they're gonna flip out.
00:55:50.000The boomers are all saying, you know, you better not touch my Social Security, you better not touch my payments, you better not raise retirement age, you better not touch my money.
00:56:02.000They are hoping that they die before Social Security becomes bankrupt.
00:56:23.000Not only are we not going to get retirement benefits, not only are we not going to get Social Security or Medicare, but our country is going to be completely bankrupt.
00:56:33.000The cities are bankrupt, the states are bankrupt, the federal government's bankrupt.
00:56:37.000And as a consequence, we will all face an austerity.
00:57:20.000Especially considering that the old people, as voters or leaders, whatever you want to call it, are really more culpable for the state of things than the young people.
00:57:33.000In other words, and you can't blame old people for Social Security being bankrupt.
01:03:24.000If society needs to be reformed dramatically, then that means that these conditioned attitudes and this common sense and this conventional wisdom is wrong.
01:03:36.000That means that necessarily the truth will be unpopular.
01:03:41.000If the truth was popular, then it would arrive.
01:03:45.000If the solution were popular, it would be here.
01:03:49.000But it's by the very fact that the reforms that are necessary, it's by the very fact that the current status is unsustainable.
01:04:02.000It's because it's popular and the antidote is unpopular.
01:04:09.000So, leadership is not convincing everybody that you're right, and then it's popular, and then you do the popular thing.
01:04:17.000You know, you sort of like reach a consensus.
01:04:21.000The way to transform the society is that you demonstrate confidence, you basically get into a position of power, and then you lead.
01:05:08.000You can't do it entirely, because otherwise it'll kill you, or overthrow you, or vote you out.
01:05:15.000But this is the kind of... This is the...
01:05:24.000This is like, as an example, what Trump should have been doing.
01:05:31.000Was to, and he did this to some extent, this idea of ruling by decree.
01:05:37.000Finding ways to bypass the legislature, finding ways to bypass the courts, and doing what has to be done.
01:05:45.000Because this is really, structurally, the problem in our country.
01:05:51.000We have innumerable systemic problems whether it's the strength of the dollar, it's balancing the budget, it's this open border we have, it's this
01:06:06.000Capture of the government by the military-industrial complex, espionage, foreign governments buying up the government and spying on our companies.
01:06:18.000Like, we have all these innumerable problems that are systemic, they're system-wide, and they're built into how these things work.
01:06:30.000It seems like it's almost impossible for a Democratic government to be able to undo these things because they might involve short-term pain for the voters.
01:06:40.000Or they would challenge the interests of the people that condition the voters.
01:06:45.000They would challenge the interests of the people that put up the money for the campaigns, or challenge the interests of the people that instrumentalize the media which conditions the voters, or it might be things that are just unpopular among the voters themselves.
01:07:00.000And so what you have is this paralysis.
01:07:02.000That is really the perceived and the real problem.
01:07:06.000With the democratic liberal system, is that there will be these really entrenched, really, really deep shit problems.
01:07:18.000And the idea is that any kind of democratic government, by the fact that it is democratic, would be unable to solve them.
01:07:27.000If it tried to solve them, would be paralyzed by gridlock, paralyzed by
01:07:34.000And so here we have a model in Macron where he says, listen, I have a mandate, you voted for me to lead, I'm gonna lead.
01:07:47.000And he's telling the voters to their face, I don't care if it's unpopular, this needs to happen.
01:07:55.000And I feel like that is, even just as messaging,
01:08:00.000It's profound and effective and powerful messaging.
01:08:04.000But it's also part of a leadership strategy that says, I don't care if this burns down my political career.
01:08:11.000I will take a political risk to solve a real problem.
01:08:17.000And then I'll have spent my presidency.
01:08:22.000I'll stake my political career on a risky decision leading on this issue that's necessary.
01:08:29.000Because you look at like the last four or five presidents, can you think of one thing that was actually really unpopular that they did in the moment that wound up being a good thing?
01:09:01.000There was a terrorist attack, and he left our equipment behind, and he left our civilians behind, and this disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
01:09:53.000Maybe this is like the old Reagan libertarian in me saying this, but Reagan basically created a recession with the monetary restraint by the Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, big 1983 recession, but it reigned in, stagflation, and then created the economic growth of the 80s, 90s, and noughts.
01:10:17.000I didn't go back in there and revise my economic views since I stopped being like a libertarian, but in theory, that's a good example of something that you need to do.
01:10:27.000Catalyze a recession, hang on for four years, and then be thanked immensely for it in the next cycle.
01:10:37.000That is what people need to be willing to do, and you can take that and apply it up and down.
01:10:43.000I look at other leaders in the right wing.
01:10:48.000That's the leadership that we're sorely lacking.
01:10:50.000I think that's what people hate about democracy.
01:10:53.000I don't even think that people... Don't get me wrong, there are tons of problems with democracy.
01:10:58.000But the biggest problem that we have right now is that it is simply, as a system, unable to solve the problems that the society has.
01:11:08.000We all know, whether you're right or left, that there are just real problems.
01:11:14.000Like math problems that just have to be corrected.
01:11:17.000Things that are dragging on way longer than they should because there simply isn't a political will.
01:11:24.000There doesn't exist the kind of decisive action political will that comes with being a dictator and being able to suppress opposition.
01:11:33.000The benefit of being a dictator is that you can suppress opposition not forever but you can suppress opposition long enough and if the elections are basically rigged you can undertake long-term projects which may be unpopular at first or may require a
01:17:06.000Uh, Ye's working on, uh... I mean, I can't tell you everything he's working on, but I'm not, like... I know everybody's used to following me, but I'm following Ye.
01:17:17.000So I'm not like, hey Ye, look at what I'm working on!
01:17:20.000He gives me things to work on, so... Not that kind of thing.
01:17:33.000Yeah, well, it's just kind of cowardly, I think, that he's gonna knock black people all the time, but not Jewish people.
01:17:44.000I'm just really over this crowd of people that they wanna post videos of black people fighting all the time, but they're not gonna talk about the Jews.
01:20:54.000If you want to look at a problem coming from a group, it would be the Jews that run everything, or it would be the immigrants that are pouring in from Latin America and Asia,
01:21:06.000But blacks are a small part of the population, they're shrinking, and they're easily avoidable as well.
01:21:14.000Now, these other things are not avoidable.
01:21:26.000And I'm not trying to say like, hey, you know, just pick up and move out, white man.
01:21:30.000I'm not saying that, but it's like, look,
01:21:35.000If you have a big problem with it, go somewhere else.
01:21:37.000If not, then just be a tough guy and just live with it or something.
01:21:42.000You know, or pass these, talk about tough on crime or something like that.
01:21:49.000But the thing is, they're not even interested in solving it.
01:21:52.000There is like, to some extent, destiny is right about this, that a lot of these people
01:22:00.000They don't really even want to solve it.
01:22:02.000They just like really just get off on complaining about it Because you ask these people it's like okay black people fighting what is to be done is there like a coherent answer As I've talked about it all the time I say look you got to go into these black neighborhoods and basically have like a counterinsurgency you have to have the military go in and
01:22:27.000You have to have police on every street corner, you gotta stand by your cops, you gotta hire cops, and when they kill criminals you gotta stand by them, you gotta have their back, and then you can organize investment to come in, and you gotta throw everybody who's like a crook in jail, and throw away the key, and take these people out of the cities, and you know, there's some things you could do.
01:22:51.000And yeah, you could do freedom of association and you could do you could do some things with education but Yeah, I don't to me it just seems like a giant diversion.
01:23:03.000It just seems like There's there's so much more going on in the conversation than like hey Did you know black people are playing the knockout game or something?
01:23:58.000It's like, I just can't take it, all these guys, cause I, listen, it's like, I agree with that, I'll retweet all that stuff, okay, yeah, yeah.
01:24:05.000Black people, uh, I've seen all the charts, I've seen all the graphs, you know I agree with all that.
01:24:15.000But strangely, none of these people ever want to talk about Jewish media ownership.
01:25:14.000Yeah, everybody's known that since the dawn of time But nobody seems to want to talk about Jewish media Somebody says based racist Zionism.
01:26:39.000Patrick Casey's a good example of this.
01:26:41.000Patrick Casey, a lot of people, they want to talk about how Patrick Casey betrayed me and AfPak, and some people defended him, and most people condemned him.
01:26:54.000But you know what's interesting is that Groyper War, a big tenant of the Groyper War, was talking about the Israel lobby.
01:27:05.000Well since Patrick Casey threw me under the bus and stopped being associated with us, he also conveniently stopped talking about Jews and Israel.
01:27:28.000He also tried to sabotage what we're doing, which was evil.
01:27:36.000And he also betrayed me when I had helped his career.
01:27:40.000So it's objectively wrong, but maybe you disagree.
01:27:43.000Well, isn't it a coincidence that all these people that left America first also simultaneously stopped criticizing Israel and stopped talking about Jewish power?
01:27:55.000Because that is true with literally every single one of them.
01:29:33.000Like, and by the way, Patrick Casey, he's like a perfect case study because Patrick Casey was a part of Identity Europa.
01:29:40.000If you look up Patrick Casey's Wikipedia page, it says he was a neo-Nazi who was a leader in the deadly white supremacist Charlottesville rally.
01:29:51.000But yet, he's being promoted by Populist Inc.
01:29:57.000I've never seen somebody who was once called a Neo-Nazi be so thoroughly cleansed and rehabilitated.
01:30:08.000No longer is he written about by the SPLC or Right Wing Watch or any of those types and no longer is he considered radioactive like all the other ones.
01:30:20.000Except for, I can think of one other example and that was Jack Posobiec who used to tweet 1488 and hang out with Richard Spencer and he idolized Harold Covington until he honeymooned in Israel.
01:30:38.000Then he had no problem staying on Twitter, and he had no problem getting involved with human events, and he had no problem getting involved in Turning Point USA.
01:30:53.000All he had to do, even though he was saying 1488, and he was idolizing Harold Covington, who was a white nationalist, white separatist in the Pacific Northwest,
01:31:06.000And hanging out with Richard Spencer, then he honeymoons in Israel, and then he starts calling me a fed for saying this stuff and pretending like I don't exist.
01:31:16.000And now he's firmly in Turning Point USA.
01:31:21.000That's interesting because that sounds very similar to Patrick Casey, who at one time was called a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, Charlottesville rally-goer, whatever.
01:31:34.000Now it doesn't get written about so much anymore and now he's totally in with populist ink.
01:31:39.000And it almost seemed like it happened exactly after he threw me under the bus after January 6th in 2021.
01:31:48.000Also, if you look up his Twitter account, he has never tweeted the word Jew, Jewish, Jews, or Israel ever.
01:32:14.000A year later in 2021, he throws us under the bus and since then has never, literally not once, never tweeted about Jewish people or Israel.
01:33:20.000My former assistant who was Jewish, Joseph, I told you a story about him recently when I was in LA a few weeks ago.
01:33:30.000When all that yay stuff was going on back in November, when all that started, he texts me.
01:33:37.000And now this is, mind you, after he betrayed me and tried to poach all my interns and everything.
01:33:43.000He texts me, I think during the Mar-a-Lago dinner, shortly after the Mar-a-Lago dinner.
01:33:51.000He texts me and he says hey Nick We should get on a call and I got to tell you my side of the story and I want to work for you again and I Ignored him and he starts reaching out to my assistant.
01:34:08.000He starts reaching out to other people And I told my assistant I said you tell him I'm not interested.
01:34:14.000Okay, just tell him that's not gonna happen.
01:34:17.000So he texts my assistant and says, well, either I'm getting back in politics, either I'm going to work with you or I'm going to work against you.
01:35:07.000And he goes to Charlie Kirk and says, you know, you need to support America First Patriot, Nick Fuentes, blah blah blah.
01:35:15.000And then in December, while Charlie Kirk is going to a Jewish conference and saying how, you know, Ye is a horrible anti-Semite and Hitler's a horrible figure and, you know, you're not a real Christian if you don't support Israel.
01:35:33.000Simultaneously, while this is happening, this guy who betrayed me in 2021 goes over and says, I want to work with Charlie Kirk.
01:35:51.000You know, these people joined up with my movement in 2019.
01:35:55.000Patrick Casey, Joseph, whoever else, they joined up with my movement, bandwagoned on my movement in 2019.
01:36:04.000And my movement was always about the same thing, which was
01:36:08.000Christianity, social conservatism, white revanchism, white identity, immigration restrictionism, and countering Jewish influence and the Israel lobby.
01:36:20.000Those were the three planks of Gruyper War.
01:36:50.000And you had these guys like Patrick and Joseph, they bandwagon.
01:36:54.000When I'm making money and when I'm streaming on DLive and everything and everything's going great they bandwagon and say hi Nick we love you you're the leader you're the best and then shit hits the fan in 2021 after January 6th and suddenly they all have this epiphany at the same time when the money dries up and they say oh actually you're just a big jerk actually you know you always were a big jerk
01:37:38.000I want to cash in on my relationship that I had with Nick.
01:37:45.000To the same guy that he was going and asking a question.
01:37:49.000And by the way, Charlie Curtin never changed.
01:37:52.000Charlie Kirk, during the Groyper War, is saying the same stuff that he is now.
01:37:56.000Back in December, he goes, like I said, there was an article about it in College Dissident.
01:38:02.000He went to some gathering, and he's going there and saying, if you don't support Israel, then you don't really believe in the Bible, and if you don't support Israel, you're not a real Christian, and the Holocaust is so bad, I shouldn't even have to say that, and yada yada.
01:38:14.000And they're holding a conference in New York City about the rise in anti... I mean, like, it hasn't changed one bit.
01:38:23.000And he's going there saying, please, can I cash in?
01:38:44.000Can you please pay me to betray the confidence of a person who used to be my friend who I lied to and betrayed?
01:38:53.000And then on the other hand you got a guy who was all about it until it got ugly, literally.
01:38:59.000Oh, I think activism isn't, I think the right wing is over because it got a little too hot so we should just live stream forever and write articles for a pittance from Peter Thiel.
01:39:10.000And then suddenly decides he's never going to talk about Israel ever again.
01:39:14.000Throws me under the bus when things get heavy, and says it's about my character, and then at the same time decides he's never going to talk about Israel again.
01:39:24.000Like Scott, and like all these other people.
01:39:26.000And by the way, Scott, you know, he told me he was going to have me on his podcast this year.
01:39:30.000I never got that invitation, that's crazy.
01:39:33.000But Peter Nimitz, the Vax Jew, well he's just going to, you know, he's going to keep coming on, and every other Jew under the sun is going to keep coming on.
01:40:18.000But at the end of the day, the reality is that this is as close as you can get to the risks and the dangers and the stress of, like, organized crime.
01:40:32.000You know, when you watch these TV shows about the mob, and like the feds breathing down your neck constantly, and fed infiltration, and people trying to get you in jail, and people trying to kill you, I mean, being involved in this is like, it's just about a hair away from that level of severity.
01:42:06.000Some people could say that it's all for nothing.
01:42:09.000Some people could say, all these risks, it's just suicidal, you know, you're on this mission where you're just getting attacked relentlessly by the regime, you're on a suicide run, I'm not gonna be a part of that, you know, whatever.
01:42:48.000It's altogether another thing to say, Oh, you know, uh, you're, you know, you have these character flaws, but I'm going to quietly sell out.
01:43:01.000In other words, if they had said, you know, this Nick guy's a bad leader.
01:43:05.000I'm going to carry on pushing the same message, doing the same stuff.
01:43:16.000I'm going to... I'm going to do something else with my life.
01:43:20.000Or, I'm going to infiltrate the system, but not attack Nick.
01:43:24.000Because, ultimately, even if what I think is doing is futile, if we agree, why would I go out of my way to attack that?
01:43:33.000But it's altogether a different thing, this like...
01:43:38.000I'm going to suck up to you pushing your dissident views, pretend like it's a personal falling out, and then like sell out to Turning Point USA or sell out to the Teal Network.
01:43:50.000You're going to have that in this round because it's an extremely personal thing.
01:43:55.000This is not just like a job, like you just sign up and it's like anything else.
01:43:59.000It's like if you sign up for this, you're basically signing up to live a life of penance and sacrifice.
01:44:10.000Because I don't think anybody's ever attacked me in saying like, you know, you're wrong about the issues.
01:44:18.000And I don't think anybody's ever said somebody's doing it better than you.
01:44:23.000Or anything, or you're not effective, or you're not relevant.
01:44:25.000It's always just something like, you know, oh I don't like you, oh I don't like you.
01:44:41.000So that, what you just said, really brought up a lot of, you know, really brought to mind some relevant points.
01:44:53.000Yeah, there's a lot of people that are on board with the racism thing, but they don't want to talk about the fact that Jewish people run the system.
01:45:45.000They're a legalistic, ornery, high-IQ, ethnic minority with a disproportionate influence in politics.
01:45:51.000That's the most that you could say if you're not religious.
01:45:54.000I mean, you wouldn't even care that these people are descended from the Pharisees who crucified God.
01:46:03.000So it would only make sense that these race idolaters, Nietzscheans, whatever you want to call them, IQ nationalists, of course, of course, that wouldn't be a problem for them.
01:47:46.000There is no other white man in America that can say, nigger, that can go out there and say, we're gonna destroy Talmudic Judaism, and say that women shouldn't vote.
01:47:57.000There is no other white man in America that can say these kinds of things, that has the kind of fanatical, organic support that I have, and that can go into the mainstream and hang out and be liked like everybody, there's just no one else like that!
01:48:13.000And you're telling me that there wouldn't be extreme pressures trying to bad jacket me, spread fear, uncertainty, doubt, engage in reputational destruction?
01:48:23.000That people wouldn't be paid to betray me?
01:48:26.000People wouldn't be rewarded for going against me or turning against me?
01:48:39.000And so yeah, of course people are going to go and cash in on throwing me under the bus or trying to rehabilitate their image if they kick me a little bit and never talk about Jews for the rest of their life.
01:48:56.000I'm not, you know, I'm subject to all these things because I'm not going on my show and saying, oh well, Judaism is some abstraction that ruined your day today.
01:54:00.000That all these people that testified that they saw a resurrected Christ, of which there were hundreds, many of them went to their death, none of them recanted.
01:54:12.000You had 12 guys, you had 11 go to their death, and they wouldn't say, they would not repudiate that they saw a resurrected Jesus.
01:54:25.000And of course, hundreds of others saw him when he was resurrected.
01:54:32.000I mean that on its own, because that's always what you hear.
01:54:34.000I don't think anybody, up until very recently, nobody doubted the historicity of Jesus.
01:54:41.000That Jesus was real, that he rose from the dead and there was testament to this.
01:54:47.000And so people have to come up with these convoluted theories like, well what if everybody lied?
01:54:58.000There is simply no, there is no doubt that Jesus Christ, as an historical fact, lived and died and was resurrected.
01:55:07.000And there is no doubt that it was the power of that event, combined with the Holy Spirit, which is why Christianity became the religion of the Roman Empire.
01:55:21.000And so once you realize that, well then, this has to be the case, that Jesus Christ is God.
01:55:28.000And then when you look at the various denominations, so-called denominations, well, there's only one church that is one Holy Catholic and Apostolic, and that's the Roman Catholic Church.
01:55:42.000There's only one that has succession from Peter.
01:55:45.000Peter's the rock upon which Christ builds a church.
01:55:49.000The church will not have the gates of hell prevail over it.
01:55:52.000There's one church that even makes logical sense.
01:55:57.000It really and and beyond that and by what what I mean by that is Without the Catholic Church.
01:56:05.000What do you have the scripture revelation?
01:56:08.000Christ didn't leave us with a book Christ left us with the church so You know then I could spend a lot of time on that but that's that's the basics So
01:58:32.000We can recognize that they are very belligerent adversaries, often.
01:58:39.000But I feel like a lot of what is said about trannies is just, um...
01:58:45.000It's not being said for the right reasons.
01:58:47.000A lot of people it's just vitriol for the sake of vitriol.
01:58:50.000It's just vitriol because they're the most marginal, they're the most freakish, they're the most out there.
01:58:57.000And so I think people like to heap cruelty and vitriol against them because that is supposed to bolster their credentials as a right-wing or something that's like showing off.
01:59:59.000So they're gonna go where, like, it's popular, and, like, it's a very popular thing, and everybody already agrees, and they're marginal, and say, and I don't say marginalized, I say they're marginal.
02:01:35.000I think a lot of it is being done for the wrong reasons.
02:01:39.000And I think the message should be, there is a message which is better, which is to say that we want to heal the country.
02:01:49.000We want to make these people whole again.
02:01:52.000A lot of these people are, they are the victims that we talk about, them being abused as children, they grow up, and then conservatives want to talk about cutting their heads off.
02:02:27.000You're gonna go out there and say James Younger's a victim of his obviously psycho mom, but James Younger's gonna turn 17, and then, you know, and then some big tough guy's gonna go and shout him down like a tough guy, and then he's gonna go have sex with some mulatto out of wedlock, and have a pregnancy scare.
02:02:53.000So... And again, that's not to say that we're going to... That's not to say that there is any quarter for trannyism and the transgenderism.
02:04:47.000They will not talk about miscegenation.
02:04:49.000I mean there is so much that is left out.
02:04:56.000They willingly cooperate and collaborate with Facebook and YouTube, but you're just gonna have, like, Michael Moe's gonna go up there and say, we need to eradicate trannyism.
02:05:33.000I'm glad that you have made some progress indeed transitioning because you honestly feel it's honestly it's honestly a great tragedy You read these stories like You look at this guy you look at this jazz Jennings.
02:05:48.000Have you seen this this guy was in a TV show and He was in this reality show where they transitioned him at a young age and
02:06:37.000Like, he absolutely, he irreversibly destroyed his life.
02:06:44.000If he ever even comes to his senses, he doesn't even realize, I mean, deep down, but he doesn't even really realize the gravity of how he has ruined the one life that God gave him.
02:07:22.000Now there are a lot of them that are really aggressive and militant and freakish and obviously I'm just as repulsed by that as anybody.
02:07:31.000But let's be honest, this is a tragedy that this is happening.
02:07:35.000It is a tragedy like babies that are aborted, it's children that are going on puberty blockers, it's children or even adults that are being castrated in this way.
02:08:05.000What I love about Catholicism is that it has this balance where a lot of liberals see it and they're like, this is too strict, this is too fire and brimstone.
02:08:16.000But then there are a lot of people that are saying, this is too nice.
02:08:19.000And it's like, yeah, because you need to be those things.
02:14:49.000François Ravaillac sent three dollars.
02:14:53.000Syria and Saudi Arabia renew diplomatic ties in a similar fashion to the Iran deal and suddenly we hear that an Iranian drone attacked US troops in Syria.
02:22:59.000People shocked about your stance on Macron's action don't get that respectable countries don't have people trashing the country like animals over austerity.
02:23:07.000Gotta double up, beat a bag came in love ya!
02:23:52.000People on the DL make their hobbies, the type of partner they want, their deep philosophical insights, their entire identity and you come and tear that down, exposing them as goofy, mediocre larpers.
02:24:09.000Initially I didn't agree with you about Macron because I thought he's enacting the will of the globalists rather than France then I remembered those retarded frog boomers are why he got re-elected.
02:29:05.000Retirement because people are irresponsible that it's like we need to teach people to do this more thing It's like yeah, but people are gonna people are not gonna do that people don't save their money at all I know it.
02:29:19.000It does incentivize people not to save but if we're being honest
02:29:23.000Do you think that if they weren't having the money withheld from them in their paycheck, do you think all that money would be going into a retirement savings account?
02:31:18.000It actually had a very profound effect.
02:31:22.000It's made me very paranoid because... I mean, you can say whatever you want to say about any particular dispute, but it is just objectively true that I've been betrayed like 50 times by people that I thought were my friends.
02:31:38.000And people can... Everybody always says like, well, I betrayed you for like a really good reason, but...
02:31:51.000It's like, we literally were hanging out on January 6th, and then he asked me for a favor on that Thursday, and then on Saturday he texted everybody I know in D.C.
02:32:40.000He would tell me, oh dude you're the best, oh you're my hero, what you're doing is amazing, you're such a real dude.
02:32:47.000And then I find out he's going to Folk Salad and saying, Nick Fuentes, oh he's the grifter of the highest order, he's the worst of the worst.
02:32:56.000This is a guy who I would shill his merch for free!
02:32:59.000I would wear his merch on streams and he would make $1,000 and I did that just because he was my friend.
02:33:04.000He's going around to call me a grifter.
02:33:06.000Like, these are things that people don't even know about and they stack over the years.
02:33:11.000And of course notable ones like Patrick or like Doyle or whoever
02:33:22.000At this point, I'm just totally desensitized to it, but as a consequence, I've become more paranoid.
02:33:50.000Who are responsible, and they're not the nicest people, and they're not, you know, flowery, and that's because anybody who is responsible has to go through these kinds of things.
02:34:02.000Anybody who is a leader has had to experience all of that, and, you know, you become tough over the years.
02:34:14.000And people that are never responsible never see that side of people.
02:34:19.000If you're somebody that's never had any responsibilities or never done anything risky or never been a leader, you never see that side of people.
02:34:27.000When you're a leader, you really see the best in people and you see the worst in people.
02:35:34.000But it's not fun to go through that and everybody starts out being trusting and naive and thinking the best in people and the only way that you'd stop doing that is People letting you down a lot and it sucks, but but that's all part of the process.
02:36:51.000To be betrayed by several close friends, to lose a streaming platform like I did, which was the source of my livelihood, not to mention the payment processing.
02:37:03.000While all that is going on, to have both of my parents get sick, have a loved one die, to be doxxed, to be under the threat of being charged by the federal government, being under... I mean, just this cascading series of things.
02:37:20.000And at a very young age, a lot of people can't deal with one of those things, let alone all those things.
02:37:28.000And anyway, so there's just no other choice other than you just have to decide, like, are you going to let it kill you?
02:38:01.000Most people don't lose because they really get defeated.
02:38:04.000They lose because they get convinced to quit.
02:38:07.000They're overwhelmed, they get flustered, and they take themselves out of the game.
02:38:14.000So I thought to myself, if I just keep waking up, and if I just keep showing up, and I just keep fighting,
02:38:20.000At least then I'm not gonna take myself out if I'm gonna get taken out it's because I really get defeated I really lose not because I I get mentally cucked, you know so anyway So I'd be lying if I said it didn't have a profound effect on me and it wasn't any one of them It's just it's just all of them.
02:38:46.000You don't have very many real friends.
02:38:48.000You begin to realize the nature of friendship, which is that most relationships are interested.
02:38:53.000Most relationships you have, you really can't have a good friend unless they have solid character.
02:38:59.000And most of your friends don't have solid character.
02:39:02.000And the reason that you're friends is because they either have some interest in you,
02:39:08.000You know, like you're providing them with something, and the minute that that is no longer the case, or it's an inconvenience, or God forbid it goes against what they want in their life, then you see what's really going on there.
02:39:23.000And I don't just say that because of what happened to me, but my grandmother always used to say when I was little, she always used to say, if you can count your friends on more than one hand, you better count again.
02:39:34.000And as a kid, I was always like, what?
02:39:41.000And you do when you're really inconsequential.
02:39:47.000And I don't mean to say that in a nasty way, but again, when there's not a lot of pressure, when everything's going well, nobody's snaking each other.
02:40:00.000But that doesn't mean that you don't have snakes in the grass.
02:40:04.000And as I get older, the more I get older, the more that that rings true.
02:40:09.000Meaning that in actuality, no matter what, you have very few friends.
02:40:15.000And if you think you have more than a few, well, don't be so sure.
02:40:32.000When I went from making... Oh, I don't want to talk numbers because I don't think that's, you know, I think that's inappropriate, but when I was making a lot of money, oh, I had a lot of friends, and they all believed in me and everything, and then when we got payment processing banned, and I got banned on DLive, and things got really, really hard, then suddenly everybody said, uh, I don't know if any of this is a good idea, you know?
02:41:02.000So... The one thing that I've struggled with, though, is...
02:41:11.000It's a balance though because you got to be you got to be critical and skeptical but you also have to at the same time you have to remain open because people make mistakes and sometimes people fall short and it's a delicate balance to strike between what I mean by this is some people are like you probably shouldn't be friends with them because they're gonna betray you
02:41:38.000But then there are some people that make mistakes and they have their shortcomings.
02:41:43.000And so it's a very tricky thing to be open enough that you can find good people and get close to good people, you know, but at the same time be able to weed out... I guess that's not so complicated, but you know what I mean.
02:42:05.000But I feel like I'm getting better at it.
02:42:08.000But I don't know But but anyway, so that's my that's my reflection on all of that I Just the the treachery thing I just can't get over they like, you know We're not cool and now I'm gonna now I'm just gonna
02:42:35.000Like the Joseph thing, the like, oh I'm gonna go to Charlie Kirk and like sell my, um... I'm gonna try to cash in on the relationship we had.
02:42:49.000That's just like literally what Judas, that's like, how is that any different than what Judas did?
02:43:20.000So anyway, I'm not you know, I don't want to talk too much about that, but I don't want to pity myself But but yeah, it's but it all goes to the territory and the thing is I know when I talk like this Maybe people would say oh like that's so self-important or that's so like dramatic or something I feel a little self-conscious talking about it, but we are talking about life ruination, right?
02:44:14.000Any other high-pressure situation, like any other drama you would see about, like I said, organized crime, or like government, or whatever, like any time you're in a high-stakes, high-pressure, sort of like adversarial, war-like environment, you're gonna get the full drama of human emotions and human traits on display in a way that you don't when you're just working somewhere.
02:44:38.000Not that people don't experience those things, but they don't experience them
02:44:42.000In the same way that you do when you're really involved in a struggle and when death is concerned in some way.
02:44:50.000And yeah, I don't know anybody that got killed doing this, but taking food out of people's mouths, depriving them of providing for themselves, that is coming for a person's well-being.
02:45:31.000Yeah, that's another good piece of evidence.
02:45:33.000There's an interesting rabbit hole for you.
02:45:35.000Yeah, it's not edgy, it's not, it's very much like...
02:45:52.000Let's just trash people for the sake of trashing people.
02:45:54.000And it's not to say that trashing trannies is wrong, but I just hate when people do that to like, oh, I'm gonna shore up my credentials as like a edgy right-wing guy by attacking trannies.
02:49:21.000She took it down, but she's putting it back up, so... I would say, hey, be nice.
02:49:26.000Let's remember, nobody... If somebody does an interview with me, and then they get a ton of backlash, and then the Groyper shit all over them, they're just gonna have a very negative attitude towards me, so... We gotta be a little diplomatic.
02:50:31.000I agree with you as far as the activism goes, it's all just going for the easiest punching bags just to deceive the simple-minded normies into thinking that they're going something productive.
02:51:39.000And then just like for months, he's just antagonizing me, calling me gay, and I'm just like ignoring him, just taking shots at me.
02:51:46.000And then today out of nowhere, it's like, oh, he's gay and he's a turd and all this.
02:51:53.000And I honest to God I can't think of any explanation other than I mean he is a gay guy He's very hung up on the gay thing He wants to have sex with me it's that simple he said something a few months ago somebody said Like oh you're you know
02:52:13.000I don't know what the tweet was, but he said something like, oh, I would suck Nick's dick to get on his platform, but I wouldn't lie for him.
03:01:57.000We could really get some inspiration from their tight-knit communities, which is totally different from these crap cities where everyone is a robot stuck in the Matrix.
03:02:05.000We could really... You know, I was thinking today, these people from the South still say city people.
03:02:11.000It's like, bro, it is the 21st century, we live in America, and you call people that live in cities, city people.
03:02:19.000It's like, what are you, from Africa or something?
03:02:22.000Like, yeah, we kind of all live in cities.
03:02:26.000It's like the 21st century, get with the program.
03:02:30.000These city folk, it's like, yeah, like most of the human population lives in cities now.
03:03:38.000You could probably prompt an AI to accurately guess Patrick Casey's career moves, making a burner Twitter account that got called out instantly.
