00:01:11.000To get a little Polish on you, there's a big fat platter of different things to pick and choose from.
00:01:17.000I'd like to talk about Starbucks and what's going on there.
00:01:22.000I'd like to talk about Jordan B. Peterson.
00:01:25.000Big hit piece article about him in the New York Times, the old New York Times this weekend, and all about it was written by a woman, so you can maybe tell where that one's going to go.
00:01:37.000And then lastly, we got to talk about Iran.
00:01:40.000Big speech by big boy Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on new sanctions on Iran at the Heritage Foundation this morning or afternoon.
00:01:54.000Before we get into any of that, I got to tell you.
00:01:56.000So, if you were watching my Twitter feed over the weekend, which I encourage all of you to do at NickJFluentus, Twitter.com, Twitter.com slash NickJFluentus, I was on Twitter yesterday as I normally am, as I most of the time am.
00:02:12.000And I was in the shower and I fired off a tweet, and most of you probably saw this.
00:02:16.000I did a little stream on Periscope last night about it.
00:02:39.000But of course, the trending topic is English in America because of this recent case with.
00:02:46.000Aaron Schlossberg, you know that white lawyer.
00:02:50.000You know that white lawyer, that white sounding lawyer, Aaron Schlossberg from New York City.
00:02:54.000He went into some kind of like garden store.
00:02:58.000He went into some like hippie, like vegan market store, fresh market company store.
00:03:03.000And he overheard some girls speaking Spanish, an employee talking to a longtime customer in Spanish.
00:03:10.000And it turned into a big affair because, of course, he got caught on video yelling at her, yelling in the whole restaurant, causing a big scene.
00:03:19.000Saying essentially, look, you're in New York City, you're in America, and you're serving American customers.
00:03:52.000This is the country we live in where you affirm the basic premise, which I think should be common sense to everybody, that to have a country, you have to have a common language.
00:04:02.000And look, folks, this is not complicated.
00:04:05.000It doesn't take a great, long Olympian rationalization for why we have to have one language.
00:04:13.000You know, we don't say that we should speak English because it is the superior Aryan language.
00:04:22.000I mean, for the pure functional reason that.
00:04:25.000To have commerce, to have communities, to have working government, transportation, businesses, all the rest, you have to be able to understand each other.
00:04:35.000You have to be able to understand each other.
00:04:38.000You understand the very basic functions that a society is supposed to carry out.
00:04:44.000And it's inconceivable that you can perform those if individuals on a massive scale cannot understand each other.
00:04:51.000And the big problem, of course, with mass immigration from Latin America, the big difference.
00:04:57.000Between the present wave of immigration and previous waves of immigration, people will say, well, this is just like Ellis Island in the 19th and early 20th century.
00:05:09.000It's just like Ellis Island, folks, when the South and Eastern Europeans came over.
00:05:15.000Because the present wave of immigrants, which started in 1965 with the Hartzeller Immigration Act, the difference with this wave of immigrants is number one, it's not a wave.
00:05:25.000When you had earlier waves of immigrants earlier on in America's history, it happened.
00:05:31.000In waves, you know, in the sense that it went up and then it went down.
00:05:35.000There was a period where there was a lot of immigration and then there was a period where there was less immigration.
00:05:41.000That's what you had during the sinusoidal curve.
00:05:45.000To get a little technical on you, is during those periods where immigration receded, you had the ability to assimilate the people that came over.
00:05:54.000And already the Europeans were more assimilable than the people from Latin America because the people from Europe had a common ancestry, had common.
00:06:03.000Language roots had common traditions, common systems of government.
00:06:07.000I mean, so you basically had all the ingredients in there that to mold it into the Anglo Protestant design would not be a difficult thing.
00:06:16.000So you had waves, you had this different ingredient, whereas the present wave of immigration is coming from a foreign place and it's not coming in waves.
00:06:24.000It's coming in just a massive tsunami that only seems to grow.
00:06:29.000From 65 until 2018, every year it goes up.
00:06:35.000Like 5 million immigrants in the 80s, 7 million immigrants in the 90s, or maybe it's 7 million in the 70s, 9 million in the 90s, was 10 million in the last decade, and it just keeps going up and it doesn't stop.
00:06:47.000Not only that, but against the earlier example where you had people coming from all kinds of places, you had people coming from Italy and from Russia and from Romania and Germany, you had this idea that people were being scattered and they were speaking different languages.
00:07:06.000So it's much more difficult for a people to maintain their.
00:07:10.000Their old language, their older traditions, when they're scattered about, when there's no one clear domination of a state or a city by one ethnic group.
00:07:19.000You know, in Chicago, for example, you had many different neighborhoods, many different ethnic groups.
00:07:24.000In New York City, many different neighborhoods, different ethnic groups, enclaves.
00:08:22.000With the Hispanics, they all speak the same language.
00:08:24.000The majority, a big part of the composition of the immigrants, which is not stopping, which is a tsunami, which is foreign to the United States.
00:08:35.000They're all speaking the same language and they're all moving to the same places.
00:08:39.000So you have all the same people, and whether they're from Mexico or El Salvador or Nicaragua or Guatemala or Honduras, they're all coming to the same place or going to the Southwest or LA or a few select cities in Texas and Arizona.
00:08:53.000I mean, that's where most of them are concentrated.
00:08:57.000So there's not as great of a need to assimilate.
00:08:59.000If you can create and dominate massive enclaves concentrated in smaller geographic areas, don't need to assimilate.
00:09:08.000And so, point being, and all of that, that's a long way to demonstrate what we all know to be true, which is this is a country where we speak English, and increasingly we're being forced to butt up against a subnational culture, a subnational identity, which refuses to give up its language, which refuses to assimilate for the greater.
00:09:29.000The common, the public good, the national interest.
00:09:32.000And so this Schlossberg character was saying, you know, look, let's speak English.
00:10:20.000People are like, oh, he got embarrassed and he got ashamed of it, so he made it out like it was a joke.
00:10:24.000I don't really care what people think about it because these people aren't literal demons.
00:10:29.000So, once you start saying, no, no, really, it was a joke, you've already lost because you care what demons who are trying to corrupt your soul think about you, which is the wrong.
00:11:26.000They're all equally dignified before God.
00:11:29.000However, if you're going to speak the truth about very important issues, that involves being called a racist.
00:11:35.000If you're going to talk about what's happening to the country, the trend lines in terms of culture, in terms of race, language, all the rest, you have to get called that it's basically unavoidable.
00:11:46.000And we don't care because the stakes are so high being called a racist is an acceptable price.
00:12:29.000Make it illegal for you to be this dumb or to be this racist.
00:12:33.000And, you know, I'm very upset about this.
00:12:35.000But I'm watching this whole reaction unfold and I'm thinking.
00:12:39.000How is it this easy to bait people in 2018?
00:12:42.000I mean, and I'll get to the broader point about language in a second, but just with regards to my story, how is it that easy to bait people in this day and age?
00:12:51.000And then you realize most people are dumb.
00:13:34.000I don't know if I'm doing the math right off the top of my head, but 200 million white people, 100 million of them, their IQ is less than 100.
00:13:41.000They're in the 90s, they're in the 80s.
00:13:45.000You think about the fact that most people spend most of their time consuming corporate media.
00:13:50.000That means they've got their face glued to the television, or they're watching Netflix, or they're watching advertisements, or they're playing a game, they're watching a movie, they're scrolling on Twitter or on Facebook, and they're reading the controlled press.
00:14:05.000They're reading the controlled Hollywood entertainment system.
00:14:08.000They're listening to the controlled music industry.
00:14:11.000And so you understand that you have a combination of people that are.
00:14:17.000These people are not going to be doing high level political calculations.
00:14:20.000Then you have this combined with even the smart people who their entire daily diet consists of consuming corporate propaganda, subliminal messaging.
00:14:29.000And I was thinking about it this morning.
00:14:32.000And most of the people that you go out and deal with on a daily basis, whether it's at work or in a restaurant or on Twitter.com, they're no better than automatons, essentially.
00:14:41.000You talk to people and you basically understand how to push their buttons.
00:14:45.000It's like, It's like you figured out the cheat codes to a video game.
00:14:48.000You know the right things to say to make them mad.
00:14:50.000You know the right things to say to make them react in the way that you want them to react.
00:14:55.000And it's because they're all consuming this media.
00:14:57.000They're falling down in the other ways.
00:15:01.000Those kinds of thoughts, I think, can be very depressing when you see those kinds of interactions online and you realize just who you're dealing with when you talk about the mob, when you're talking about the masses.
00:15:12.000You know, people say they have a lot of faith in people and one day we're going to unify and rise up and love each other.
00:15:18.000There's going to be a consciousness revolution and all this.
00:15:22.000That's not going to be possible because most people are very low agency individuals.
00:15:29.000And you combine this with studies that say that something like 25% of people never experience internal dialogue that's turned into language.
00:16:12.000But of course, the broader point is we've come to a point in the country today where to say common sense things to defend the fact that we should have a common language is wrong thing.
00:16:23.000It's not only do they say it's like, oh, it's a bad idea, it doesn't even enter into consideration.
00:16:31.000Like, hmm, this guy says we should make Spanish illegal, or this guy says, let's take the other example because it's not.
00:16:37.000Deliberately intended to get a reaction.
00:16:39.000This guy says you should speak English in America.
00:16:41.000Well, let's think about that for a moment.
00:16:58.000But instead, we live in a world where they just literally get barked down by the racism watchdog who sees something like that and just autistically tweets in all caps, woof, woof.
00:17:10.000This is the world we live in, and that's, is that, how is that any different than what anybody you know would react to that with?
00:17:17.000I mean, sure, the dog is saying woof woof, and you know, oh, that's kind of dumb, that's outrageous, but how is that any different than any regular person saying, shut up, that's racist, how could you say that, blah, blah, blah?
00:17:29.000It's effectively the same reaction, it's just a thoughtless, Pavlovian response, which is shut it down, shut it down, stop talking, that's the bad thing, we're not supposed to think about it that way, we're not supposed to think about people that way, we can't do it.
00:17:48.000You know, we're not saying deport all illegal immigrants.
00:17:51.000We're not, and I think that's along the same lines, but even then there's like, you know, humanitarian costs, or we're not saying we should completely restrict immigration because, you know, again, there's the humanitarian thing.
00:18:03.000We're saying, hey, you just came here, you just rolled up on America.
00:18:08.000We've been here for a little while, we've been around the block.
00:18:10.000You know, my family's been in this country for like five generations, four generations.
00:18:15.000I'm sure many people have been around a lot longer than that.
00:18:18.000It's like, hey, you know, you just got here, you're the newcomer.
00:18:20.000And look, it's basically Disney World here.
00:18:23.000We got tons of money, it's comfortable, everything's air conditioned, the tap water is fresh, it's delicious.
00:18:30.000Well, you know, let's not go that far.
00:18:32.000It won't give you diarrhea like it does in Mexico, right?
00:18:34.000Maybe it'll give you cancer instead, or it'll make your brain malfunction, right?
00:19:00.000And we say, look, hey, and look, we're ready to embark on this beautiful journey together with you where we do all the working and you do all the eating.
00:19:09.000But could you please just learn the language?
00:19:11.000It'll make it a lot easier for when we give you all your free shit.
00:19:15.000It'll make it so much easier for you when you get a job at the corporation that we built, in the building that we built on the streets.
00:19:23.000That we built and the system that we built.
00:19:25.000You know, it would just make it so much easier.
00:19:27.000If you could just learn the damn language we've been speaking for 200 years, not hard.
00:19:33.000And that's just the unreasonable, no, no, we can't have it.
00:19:45.000How can you have a serious country that solves problems by talking about them and arriving at answers that have merit, that have been critically analyzed and All the rest, if you can't even talk about basic things, about being called you're a racist, shut it down, mariachi band outside your window.
00:23:47.000So he's promoting all these things, but then he goes off and says, like, if you embrace white identity, like, you're just a pathetic loser.
00:23:54.000And then I'm like, okay, so then you lost me.
00:23:56.000But then it'll come back, and so it's just off and on with me.
00:23:59.000And so I see him on the New York Times.
00:24:00.000There's a big hit piece about him over the weekend that was titled The Custodian of the Patriarchy about JBP, written by a woman.
00:24:09.000And you know, first of all, I'm going to say, because I'm going to show you the article and some of the things I found in it that just really upset me.
00:24:16.000But you read this article and you think about it, and this woman reporter who goes into it, she talks about how she stuck around Jordan Peterson for a long time.
00:24:25.000Like, She's done Skype sessions with him.
00:24:29.000She sat in on Skype sessions with him, with his clients.
00:24:32.000She's like shadowed him for a long time.
00:24:35.000So you have to understand, this has happened to me before, where I've had people like filming me or interviewing me or whatever.
00:24:40.000There's somewhat of like an intimacy that builds, not like a, you know, just like a relationship that builds, like a rapport, where it's like you become kind of friendly.
00:24:48.000Even if the journalists hate you, and they often do, and they are very diametrically opposite in their views, even if they hate you, there's still kind of this, just by exposure, people understand, well, you know, we're all kind of human.
00:25:00.000They see another side to it where you're watching this show, and even my fans, they see me on the show.
00:25:05.000You're only seeing one shade, and so is everyone else.
00:25:08.000But when you interact with people one on one, they invite you into your home, it's different.
00:25:12.000And so you imagine this woman, she gets to know Jordan Peterson.
00:25:18.000He lets her into his home, I don't know if she actually went to his home or if he just showed it to her on Skype, but nevertheless, invites her into his home in some kind of sense.
00:25:28.000And then she goes, Okay, great, nice to meet you.
00:25:50.000But this is such a typical thing to do by a journalist, by a female journalist, where they go in and just how, what kind of subhuman do you have to be?
00:26:00.000Where you go, this guy gives you his time, let's write this article, and you're going to.
00:28:02.000It's not like you see some of these houses, and I swear, I see people's messy houses sometimes where it's like floor plan doesn't make sense and like everything's kind of goofy and weird.
00:28:14.000I mean, you can be cluttered to an extent and still have a good aesthetic, but some of these houses I look at where it's like from the 1990s and it's like they got like green carpet and like a red couch and like.
00:28:30.000So you got this very chic, cool decor here, stack of books, Chad, a little speaker for when you're blasting, you know, lo fi, chill wave, 24 hour.
00:28:44.000I guess that's when you're making a million dollars a year on Patreon, I guess you can afford to look like that and have a house like that, right?
00:28:51.000Me, I'm not quite there yet because I get kicked out of everywhere.
00:28:55.000I get kicked out of 109 different places, right?
00:28:57.000But not only that, he's got a good look, you know, good tailored clothes, good, you know, this is epic.
00:29:03.000Imagine living in a house where you've got an epic poster like that instead of some gay, like, something from Pier 1 Imports where it's like, oh, you know, it's like someone in like a port.
00:29:13.000It's like some, you know, stupid thing.
00:29:15.000I'm going to start crapping all over my home decor.
00:30:36.000You're a reporter, not an editorialist.
00:30:41.000It's just so frustrating because you know she's not giving his arguments.
00:30:45.000And even if you disagree with them, even if you think he's like a liberal individualist, she's not giving his arguments or not looking at them in good faith.
00:31:31.000Maybe it's like more like college kids.
00:31:32.000But nevertheless, you do get what I'm saying.
00:31:34.000People who work hard, they like Jordan Peterson.
00:31:36.000They like to chill out, watch a little Jordan Peterson.
00:31:38.000And this person who covers tech and internet culture in San Francisco for the New York Times, before she was a correspondent for Vice News Tonight, She's going to tell you, yeah, you know, you're one guy who kept you from killing yourself because he gave you a little bit of hope that you would survive in Hellworld.
00:31:54.000Yeah, he believes in witches, and I'm from San Francisco.
00:32:00.000Honestly, I hope everything goes wrong with North Korea so they just drop the biggest, fattest nuke right in the middle of San Francisco or in LA.
00:32:23.000So, this is the first part, which I thought was really interesting here, where he talks about the nature of men and women, but I think it talks about something a little bit more profound.
00:32:33.000So, in this paragraph, he's quoted as talking about how the feminine energy, or rather the chaotic energy, has a feminine character.
00:32:42.000And the energy which is order, it's reciprocal, it's opposite, is a masculine energy.
00:32:48.000And so, but I'll get to the point of why there's something more fun, you know, if you can believe it, something more fundamental there.
00:32:53.000He says, you know, you can say, well, isn't it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine?
00:32:58.000Well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn't matter because that's how it's represented.
00:33:03.000It's been represented like that forever, and there are reasons for it.
00:33:23.000Paragraph in and of itself, in the sense that it's about a great subject, which is about order and chaos.
00:33:29.000And if you've watched this show, you know I define my political spectrum based on order and chaos, based on conservatism as order and liberalism as chaos.
00:33:39.000Conservatism as the masculine, liberalism as the feminine.
00:33:42.000And that's why I said Trump and Hillary were kind of these polar opposites of real, real order and real chaos, because they were these two opposing forces, masculine and feminine, order and chaos.
00:33:55.000It didn't really matter where the chips fell on.
00:33:57.000Taxes and abortion and all that, they represented these cosmic forces.
00:34:01.000So it's already a good point on that level.
00:34:03.000Well, there's something more fundamental here.
00:34:06.000This is the heart of our ideology as perennialists, as traditionalists.
00:34:11.000I describe myself as either a traditionalist conservative or you go back to like a Burkeian conservative, that kind of thing.
00:34:18.000This is fundamental to our ideology, which is that things can't change.
00:34:25.000There are reasons that things are the way that they are.
00:34:28.000People will tell you that, well, oh, this system is broken.
00:34:40.000So we're just going to smash the pillars that underwrite our civilization, the foundation of our society, and we'll just hope it gets better.
00:34:51.000But Jordan Peterson is getting at something fundamental here.
00:34:54.000There are things you cannot change about our nature, there are things that are always going to be there.
00:35:09.000But fundamentally, we understand and acknowledge there is a limited nature that is intrinsic to our character that has been developed and forged over thousands of years.
00:35:20.000And the same is true of our institutions, our society, and our customs.
00:35:24.000You know, you look at the vast array of activities that we do, whether they're biological, societal, or otherwise, these have evolved over many, many years.
00:35:55.000You know, this is the equivalent of, as they say, playing with God in a way.
00:36:00.000Or this is playing with fire, it's playing with forces that you simply don't understand.
00:36:04.000When they say, well, we can tweak this, we find a little problem here, it is starting from the false assumption of, well, we're trying to get to utopia as opposed to we're trying to make a system that works.
00:36:16.000If you think we're trying to make a system that works, you don't take for granted that, hey, things are pretty good.
00:36:21.000It's not a Hobbesian state of anarchy.
00:36:48.000You know, a black person still gets called an N word once every six months.
00:36:52.000So we have to take society and push it somewhere else.
00:36:56.000And in doing so, they destroy the functionality.
00:37:00.000They, in taking for granted everything that was working, they unleash all kinds of demons that weren't there before they make things immeasurably worse.
00:37:07.000And this is what he's getting at here.
00:37:09.000You may not like it, but that's just how it is.
00:37:12.000You may not like our nature, you may not like how things have developed, but that's how it is.
00:37:16.000And if you change these things, there will be dire consequences.
00:37:21.000And so I think this is a fundamentally great take by Peterson.
00:37:28.000This is why I think he's important because this is fundamental to what we're trying to do with the society is to get people to re embrace things that are perennial, that are traditional, that are fundamental because they work.
00:37:41.000And that's what he's saying there, not to take for granted.
00:37:43.000These are fundamentally the forces we're talking about mass immigration, the culture war, free trade, capitalism.
00:37:51.000All these forces are disruptive, chaotic forces.
00:37:54.000They're going to come in, shake things up in ways that we don't understand yet.
00:37:59.000And that's what he's getting at here, which is a good thing.
00:38:50.000It's because these things hang together at a very deep level, and it makes sense that an old king lives in a desiccated tower.
00:38:58.000And so he's kind of reiterating the former point that there is, he's getting at something Jungian.
00:39:02.000Carl Jung, who was the psychologist who was basically the forebearer to Freud.
00:39:07.000It was like Freud and Jung were the big minds.
00:39:10.000Jung had a different ethnic character, let's say, than Freud.
00:39:15.000And so his philosophy took on a different character.
00:39:17.000And Jung talked about something called the collective unconscious, where he said that there was kind of an instinct or an intuition intrinsic to man.
00:39:25.000In the same way that a spider knows how to spin a spider web, in the same way that a bee knows how to build a beehive, or various animals know how to perform their tasks.
00:39:34.000Without being instructed, without being taught, human beings have something in their subconscious, in their unconscious, that connects us to our ancestors, that connects us to our primordial roots.
00:39:46.000And so this is why certain myths prevail in time and why they have meaning for us over thousands of years.
00:39:54.000It's part of this collective unconscious of things that are passed down that we have not tapped into, that we are not consciously aware of, these symbols, these powerful mimetic things in our lives.
00:40:16.000But witches don't exist and they don't live in swamps, which is just this.
00:40:21.000This encapsulates so much of what is wrong with the modern world, which is kind of this like arrogant, clinical, natural science perspective where it's almost like this Reddit tier mindset where they will never engage with an idea that is like a little bit like maybe embarrassing.
00:40:40.000I don't want to say it is embarrassing to believe in witches, but in the sense that if somebody said this on a sitcom, the other character would be like, huh, that's crazy, laugh track.
00:40:49.000And people have been basically programmed to have this kind of reaction.
00:40:53.000If you say something unorthodox, if you say something that requires a little bit of thinking, a little bit of nuance, you go out on a limb, you say things like, oh, well, witches are very real in a metaphysical sense, and blah, blah, blah.
00:41:06.000And people are like, huh, you believe in witches?
00:41:11.000And this is, I think, so emblematic, so symptomatic of where we are as a society, where people look down on traditions and customs and things that might be irrational, might not conform to this like television mentality, but that have been there for thousands of years and worked.
00:41:27.000They look at them with scorn and contempt.
00:42:23.000And of course, what he's getting at is in terms of symbology, the representation, the value of a dragon in terms of as a meme, that it conveys certain things about the world in a way that we can process and understand visually, in terms of like narrative structure.
00:44:08.000We basically deserve to go extinct as a species if these are the class of people that will inherit the world.
00:44:14.000These people are worse than demons, in my opinion.
00:44:17.000At least demons have a will to power, at least demons have schemes and designs, and they understand the nature of the struggle, that it's spiritual.
00:44:27.000These people are just like waste, they're bio waste.
00:44:51.000But the next big thing is they start to talk about incels, where they talk about this guy who was in Toronto and he killed people, and they said it was because he was an involuntary celibate.
00:45:04.000Which is that women rejected him, so he went out and killed a bunch of people.
00:45:09.000And so Peterson talks about enforced monogamy.
00:45:11.000You might have seen this on Twitter trending for him.
00:45:13.000This is the last thing I'll say about this article.
00:45:16.000Peterson says he was angry at God because women were rejecting him.
00:45:20.000The cure for that is enforced monogamy.
00:45:27.000The reason that monogamy has evolved in society is because what you would have before is you would have the high status men, and this is what's happening now, by the way, when you don't have monogamy.
00:45:38.000The high status men, like the top 20%, get all the women.
00:45:43.000100% of the women are competing for the top 20% of men.
00:45:46.000And the bottom 80% of men get nothing.
00:49:41.000When you have this maniacal woman, you know, you have all these men out there who are like, yeah, we're having a tough time, but we just want to watch Jordan Peterson lectures.
00:49:50.000We're not even really going to complain.
00:49:53.000You know, we'll go to our job and we'll try and get along in this meaningless hell world, but we just want to watch her lecture.
00:49:59.000And Jordan Peterson's like, yeah, I understand you.
00:50:02.000And above all, you've got the eternal woman laughing.
00:53:18.000So you've got John Shepard Smith who says, Let us not forget our founding fathers spoke English, and our founding documents are written in English.
00:54:11.000We thought we could substitute out the monarchy with this kind of Republican civic society.
00:54:16.000It's degenerating much more quickly than a monarchy would because I don't think it has the same interest to protect itself.
00:54:22.000It's not motivated by the same self interest in the sense that the monarchy is the vanguard of the culture and the nation and the people, and it does so because it is their realm.
00:54:33.000The monarch sees it as their responsibility, their mandate from God or from the people that this is my land, these are my people.
00:54:51.000We didn't really even have anything like that, but I guess the project was we'll substitute that out, that kind of repository institution that keeps the old customs and culture with the civic institutions.
00:55:02.000That is, the church, the fraternal organizations, these local organizations.
00:55:06.000Now, that worked when we were a frontier country, when we were basically reliant on that, when the federal government wasn't very big and couldn't project power into the frontier, into the unsettled West.
00:55:16.000But now that we've become an empire and a successful country, that's withered and died in the last 60 or so years.
00:55:24.000And now we have no repository institution.
00:55:26.000Who are you going to rely on to keep the culture?
00:55:28.000The Congress, which is accountable to the people, the president, which is accountable to the people, the Supreme Court.
00:55:34.000I mean, the only thing they can keep is the law, and the law is failing us.
00:55:59.000I like to think that I offer something much better than the news because, you know, the news, they've got the big budget graphics and set, and they've got people with makeup on and expensive suits, and they've got the reporters, hello, John, I'm on the ground here and, you know, wherever, and it's raining.
00:56:20.000And so it's admittedly a more humble setting here, but there's no subliminal messaging that you know of.
00:57:09.000I'm going to give you the real deal with the proper context, a proper sense of proportion, as somebody who's been doing it a long time, for which I mean a year.
00:57:19.000But it ain't longer than that, and very successfully.
00:58:55.000But when Democrats say, I'm going to be a populist, I'm just like you, you know what they're pushing.
00:59:00.000They're going to push the same the minute another administration gets into office, or even if the president is a little bit unpopular, they're going to vote for free trade.
00:59:08.000They're going to vote for mass immigration.
00:59:09.000They're going to vote for things and won't actively impede or oppose things that are corrupting your children, killing the working class culturally, socially.
00:59:40.000I can make fun of the left side of the bell curve, i.e., pagans, atheists, and all the rest, because my audience is extremely high IQ, and so they don't fall into that category.
01:00:27.000I understand the concern for the more libertarian minded people.
01:00:31.000Simon Skola says, Cucks go to heaven, warriors go to Valhalla.
01:00:35.000And I know that's a joke because Simon's a friend.
01:00:38.000But yeah, I mean, that's the mentality.
01:00:39.000And it's funny because they say Christianity is for cucks, Christianity is a slave religion.
01:00:44.000Yeah, and that's why Christianity completely destroyed paganism, right?
01:00:49.000That's why not only did we defeat paganism, but we defeated them while preserving their own books that they couldn't because we were literate and they were not.
01:00:58.000So that is like the epitome of adding insult to injury.
01:01:01.000Not only did we destroy paganism, but we did it by conversion.
01:01:05.000And the only reason you even hear about paganism is because we kept it around, because we knew how to read and write.
01:01:10.000And these dum dums in their mud huts didn't.
01:03:32.000The supreme law of the land has to protect against what we've seen happen in the course of the last century, which is the infiltration of the government by these financial interests at the highest levels, laws that are not in the service of the national good.
01:04:34.000And then in terms of the amendment process, it's difficult on both fronts because the moneyed interests control the states and the federal government.
01:04:44.000I guess the states might be easier because it's easier to rally local support than it is in a big state.
01:04:50.000Or for a national election, there's less money involved, so you can compete better, but it would take more organization.
01:04:56.000So it's damn near impossible these days.
01:04:59.000Phyllis Schlafly defeated the Equal Rights Amendment, and that was defeating an amendment.
01:05:03.000It's a lot easier to defeat one than to get one passed.
01:05:07.000So it would be tough to defeat all the different lobbies that prevail with all their money at every level.
01:05:13.000I'd probably say the states at this point to get, what is it, two thirds of the states only because it's more local, and so you could appeal to the people, and you get maybe the smaller states, but it's tough.
01:05:24.000Rick M., Nick, do you think that draining the swamp requires starting with foreign policy or internally?
01:05:48.000You know, the bureaucracy can come later.
01:05:50.000What you first have to get out is these extra legal institutions that interfere in civilian government, which is.
01:05:57.000The alphabet soup agencies, the intelligence community, these kinds of people, the military industrial complex, these are the people that have to get replaced first because these are the people that are actively interfering in and impeding with the process.
01:06:11.000You know, you look at the 2016 election where they had informants, they were spying, they had FISA warrants, and all the rest.
01:06:20.000And you could fix corruption at the Department of Transportation.
01:06:24.000You know, oh, well, this concrete company bought the guy that's at the head of the Commerce Department, whatever it is.
01:06:31.000It's much more dire when you have people that can spy on everyone and they think they run the show.
01:08:55.000Thank you to everybody who watches the show, shares the show, and supports the show.
01:09:00.000Big thank you to Matt, who sent me an additional monitor.
01:09:04.000I'm going to be streaming with two monitors, double the power level.
01:09:09.000It's like when Count Dooku, or what did they say in Star Wars 3?
01:09:14.000When Anakin says, I've grown stronger since the last time we met Count, that's like me saying that to you, bitch, because I got two monitors.
