America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Make Russia Great Again | America First Ep. 164

00:00:04.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:05.000 You're watching America First.

00:00:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:09.000 We've got a great show for you tonight.

00:00:12.000 Off to a great start already.

00:00:14.000 Sorry about that.

00:00:15.000 I was over here.

00:00:16.000 What I like to do usually before I go live, I click the button.

00:00:20.000 I click the intro button and then I fill up my water.

00:00:23.000 And I don't know.

00:00:25.000 Today I filled up the water and there's this weird something floating around in here.

00:00:31.000 I don't know what it is, but ew.

00:00:34.000 A lot of funky stuff going on in here.

00:00:36.000 I don't know if that's, I need to clean the glass or if it's the sink.

00:00:41.000 I don't know, but I clicked the wrong slide, but that's okay.

00:00:44.000 But we're doing all right.

00:00:45.000 We got a great show for you tonight.

00:00:47.000 We're talking about all kinds of things.

00:00:50.000 We're talking about Russia.

00:00:52.000 We're talking about North Korea.

00:00:54.000 We're talking about, what was the other big thing from today?

00:00:58.000 We're talking about Syria. 0.62

00:00:59.000 So we're talking about just about everything except for America today. 0.97

00:01:04.000 But that's all right.

00:01:05.000 There's a lot going on in the world.

00:01:07.000 Not a lot going on here.

00:01:08.000 So, very exciting.

00:01:09.000 A lot of news of the day. 0.55

00:01:11.000 We are T-posing tonight very strongly on the Pitbulls, the Single Moms, the Pagans, and the Gamer Girls. 0.77

00:01:19.000 So, this show is dedicated to T-posing on them. 0.61

00:01:23.000 The T-pose meme, I have to say, it's already, it seems like it's kind of getting a little old.

00:01:28.000 I don't know if it's me.

00:01:30.000 I don't know if that's the way the internet works, but it seems like you get a really new meme come on the scene, and very quickly it becomes overdone and tired, and, you know, it just goes so fast.

00:01:41.000 Remember that.

00:01:42.000 That Ugandan Knuckles meme that lasted like two days before Reddit took it over and then it got really lame. 0.72

00:01:49.000 So I don't know if T-Pose will have a similar lifespan or if it'll go on longer.

00:01:53.000 Some memes even have a way that they come back.

00:01:56.000 Like I've been listening all week, I've been listening to Baked Alaska's MAGA anthem.

00:02:01.000 If you watch my intimate gaming stream last night, we were just playing that on loop just over and over, which I find to be unironically a good song and very catchy, but that's making a rebound.

00:02:13.000 Some other things are so.

00:02:16.000 Out of date, that now they're coming back into style again.

00:02:19.000 So I don't know.

00:02:20.000 I did a post on Instagram the other day, could check it out, of me T posing all over the nation.

00:02:25.000 So that's fun.

00:02:25.000 But a lot to cover today.

00:02:27.000 And one thing before I jump into it, one thing before we get going and we start talking about the news, because there's so much to discuss, I will say that there are a number of primaries happening today in Oregon, Idaho, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska.

00:02:44.000 I believe those are the big states where they're having their.

00:02:47.000 For the 2018 election.

00:02:49.000 There are three states, or rather, three races that we are watching very closely.

00:02:55.000 They are the 7th district in Pennsylvania, the 8th district in Pennsylvania, and the 2nd district in Nebraska.

00:03:02.000 A very good friend of mine and a big supporter of the show has been giving us some information about that and showed me that those were the big races.

00:03:10.000 So we might be doing, and let me know if you guys are interested in this, we might be doing at 8 o'clock, whereas usually we do 15 minutes and it goes on a little bit longer.

00:03:18.000 Of Streamlabs and Super Chats.

00:03:20.000 I think at 8 o'clock, we might just flip over into election covering territory and we'll see what the numbers look like.

00:03:27.000 It's not going to be a very exciting thing.

00:03:29.000 It's not like the stakes are very high, but we will be watching throughout the night to see what the turnout looks like for the Republicans and the Democrats in these primaries because, of course, we're always watching them.

00:03:39.000 And it's funny because the theme of tonight's show, I guess, is like foreign affairs and then election.

00:03:46.000 That's what the America First premium membership used to be about before we got taken out by Stripe.

00:03:54.000 But anyway, so that's what we might do later on after the show, and we'll be checking out those races.

00:04:00.000 It'll be interesting to see because you know we've been watching a lot of special elections, and there hasn't been so much primary action going on so far.

00:04:07.000 A lot of the primaries are this month, they're in June.

00:04:10.000 They go on right up until the election.

00:04:12.000 I'm pretty sure some of the latest ones are in the fall.

00:04:16.000 And so it'll be interesting to see because a lot of the special elections we've been watching and the few primaries, we've seen very sharp Democrat action.

00:04:24.000 Turnout or an uptick in Democrat turnout.

00:04:26.000 We saw in Texas they doubled their turnout.

00:04:28.000 We saw in Pennsylvania they won in a very strong Republican district.

00:04:33.000 And so it'll be interesting to see now that some new polling numbers are coming in.

00:04:38.000 Trump's approval is very high right now.

00:04:40.000 The generic ballot is looking not good for the Democrats at all.

00:04:43.000 It'll be interesting to see how that reflects in the turnout.

00:04:47.000 And the turnout's key.

00:04:48.000 And depending on which numbers you've looked at, they say the Democrats have been turning out like crazy.

00:04:53.000 Some numbers say the Republicans have been turning out at a much higher percentage.

00:04:56.000 I'm talking about the primaries.

00:04:58.000 Not the special elections, but if you look at the primaries, I remember hearing from somebody, I'm not sure who, that the Democrats are up 16% from 2014 and Republicans are up 64% from 2014.

00:05:12.000 And I forget if I'm misremembering that or where I heard that, but it should be shown that I think it's a little bit more double sided than people say.

00:05:19.000 But anywho, we got to get into the news.

00:05:22.000 The first big thing I want to talk about, because nobody's talking about this, you know, people are talking about Israel still and Palestine and they're talking about Trump's wife and all this, but.

00:05:33.000 The big thing nobody's talking about is Russia has drastically cut their defense spending, and this was on antiwar.com, a great site which you should check out if you are looking for news that is not globalist propaganda.

00:05:48.000 And, okay, so it's looking like we're getting some Streamlabs.

00:05:50.000 Every time it plays a sound, and I don't know if people are giving bits on Twitch.

00:05:55.000 To make a donation on Twitch, it costs like a penny, so I'm always thinking, is somebody spamming?

00:05:59.000 But anyway, so it's not really been reported so much.

00:06:03.000 I think this is one of the most Underreported stories of the past month, which is that Russia is now the third biggest military spender in the world behind the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, which is a big change because we know that Russia has always been, for the last, what, 15, 20 years, been the number two military spender behind the United States.

00:06:26.000 Now, the U.S. spends much, much more than every country combined, like much more than I think the next seven countries combined.

00:06:34.000 We spend $700 billion.

00:06:37.000 On our military.

00:06:37.000 But Russia's always been right there.

00:06:39.000 And although they've been a regional power since the breakup of the Soviet Union, they've still been right there challenging us with conventional and nuclear capabilities.

00:06:49.000 They undertook, under Vladimir Putin, a very strong modernization effort after some of the weaknesses of the Russian military were discovered during their invasion of Georgia in 2008.

00:07:01.000 So they've been modernizing their military.

00:07:03.000 They've been creating these very professional, highly mobile military units.

00:07:06.000 They've been developing nuclear weapons that will be able to penetrate.

00:07:10.000 The United States ABM or anti ballistic missile shield.

00:07:14.000 Those were unveiled about a month ago.

00:07:15.000 If you recall, Vladimir Putin laid out, I think it was three new types of missiles and nuclear technology designed specifically to penetrate the American ABM shield being constructed in Eastern Europe and also being implemented in South Korea with the THAAD system.

00:07:32.000 And so there was a big show of that, and there's been a major effort underway, some very ambitious projects building up their fleet in the Arctic and all the rest.

00:07:39.000 But today it was announced by Vladimir Putin that they are cutting.

00:07:43.000 Military spending drastically to focus on nation building at home in Russia.

00:07:48.000 Many people are calling this a Russia first policy.

00:07:52.000 So, Russia cut their military spending for the first time, cut their annual military spending for the first time since 1998, cut it 17% from the previous year.

00:08:03.000 Now they're the third behind U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

00:08:07.000 And the reason they say is because the Russians are war weary.

00:08:11.000 They say that the Russians have tolerated Vladimir Putin's efforts for a long time to put Russia back on the world stage as a superpower in the sense that they saw Russia intervening in The Ukrainian color revolution intervening in the Georgian situation, intervening in Syria, they saw that as Vladimir Putin's attempt to put Russia back on the map, where they had fallen apart after the Cold War and they had this very chaotic,

00:08:40.000 unstable democratization period and they were kind of pawns of the West and the United States.

00:08:46.000 They saw these excursions, these military expeditions, as an attempt by Putin to put Russia back on top or back as a superpower in the minds of Russians and of people in the world.

00:08:57.000 But they say now, and if you look at any of the polling now, they say that Russians are basically war-weary.

00:09:02.000 They've tolerated this for a long time.

00:09:03.000 They've humored this for a long time.

00:09:05.000 And although Putin's poll numbers are at more than 80%, I think it's something like 82% approval for Putin in Russia.

00:09:12.000 And he just got elected to a fourth term as Russian president.

00:09:16.000 Similarly, if you look at the polling, kind of paradoxically, you'll have this very high approval, but some 45% of Russians say they're upset about income inequality.

00:09:25.000 And so Russia's now undertaking this very.

00:09:29.000 Very strong effort to rebuild Russia at home, to rebuild their infrastructure, to nation build in Russia, to focus on domestic issues as opposed to international issues.

00:09:38.000 And there's a lot of speculation for why this is.

00:09:40.000 People say, well, it's the war weariness.

00:09:42.000 Russians are upset by this.

00:09:44.000 People say, well, for Russia's economy to move forward, they'll have to fix up sanctions, they'll have to attract Western investment.

00:09:51.000 And there's a lot of speculation about it.

00:09:53.000 But some say that the reason that this is happening is so that Vladimir Putin can begin to.

00:09:58.000 Make better relations with the West and with the United States.

00:10:03.000 And I think what is instructive about this example of Vladimir Putin is this is essentially what Donald Trump should be doing in our country, in the sense that what Vladimir Putin was doing for a long time is something that we would say is not good.

00:10:17.000 He was involving the Russian military in a foreign conflict in Syria, involving the Russian military in Ukraine and in Crimea, which I think is more defensible than Syria.

00:10:29.000 In Ukraine, it makes sense because he's protecting.

00:10:32.000 Ethnic Russians, Russian speaking people in Crimea, in Luhansk, in Donetsk, which is in the Donbass. 0.67

00:10:38.000 So there's a better case to be made for that.

00:10:40.000 But irrespective of those technicalities, people might say, well, Russia's been pursuing maybe an expansionist, maybe an aggressive foreign policy.

00:10:50.000 But he did that to make a show of force, to demonstrate to the world that Russia cannot be messed with.

00:10:56.000 Russia is a player, just like the UK and France and China and the US.

00:11:01.000 They've established that.

00:11:02.000 They took a little while to establish that.

00:11:05.000 I think it maybe was inaugurated in 2014 with their engagement in Crimea for the Ryan Dawson's that say, oh, well, you know, it was basically harmless and it was totally democratic.

00:11:15.000 Let's say their engagement in Crimea in 2014 and concluding with their victory in the Syrian civil war by shoring up the Assad government, which they declared in 2017.

00:11:26.000 And now they're winding down.

00:11:27.000 And why I say this is instructive is because this is essentially, I think, what Donald Trump is beginning to do and should follow through on, which is we come back, America's on the world stage, we flex our muscles, we make China bend, we make Iran bend, North Korea, we make Russia respect us again, and then we put the focus back on the domestic.

00:11:50.000 And I think that's essentially what you're seeing with Trump's policy.

00:11:53.000 And if he were wise, he would do that.

00:11:56.000 Because already what you're seeing with his foreign policy is.

00:11:59.000 Is something that's less than ideal.

00:12:01.000 And there have been a lot of critics of it.

00:12:02.000 On this show, we have looked at it in context and we've looked at it with a sense of proportion.

00:12:08.000 Nevertheless, a lot of the critics have rightly pointed out that Trump has not totally followed through quite yet on a completely America first foreign policy.

00:12:17.000 We've got an increasing involvement in Afghanistan.

00:12:20.000 We've still got a presence in Syria and they say possibly an indefinite presence in Iraq.

00:12:26.000 Our military is still involved in West Africa, still involved in Yemen, still involved in Somalia.

00:12:32.000 We still have this presence in Europe and in Japan and in South Korea.

00:12:36.000 We're still engaged in these conflicts, and people are not paying us.

00:12:40.000 And so, the expectation, I think, has been that we would get there eventually, but we haven't seen a whole lot of movement on these major projects.

00:12:49.000 And you know how I feel about this.

00:12:50.000 I've laid out how I feel about this in great detail for all these different conflicts, but nevertheless, we've been there.

00:12:57.000 And I think the Vladimir Putin model is a way to explain it so long as Trump is keen on following through the way Putin has, which is.

00:13:06.000 Let's make a point to North Korea.

00:13:08.000 Let's make a point to China.

00:13:09.000 And we'll show the whole world and remind the world that America is not in decline.

00:13:14.000 America is not going anywhere anytime soon.

00:13:17.000 Is it going to be the same unipolar, hegemonic world that we've lived in for 25 years, where America can do whatever it wants without consequence?

00:13:26.000 No, it won't be exactly the same as it has been.

00:13:28.000 You'll see regional powers like China, like Iran, like Saudi Arabia, even Brazil, maybe, India.

00:13:35.000 These powers will rise up.

00:13:37.000 They will demand some degree of influence in the region.

00:13:40.000 And that's to be expected.

00:13:41.000 And America should probably mind their own business a little bit more, at least in the Western Hemisphere and at most in their own country.

00:13:49.000 But nevertheless, the point was made that America's back.

00:13:52.000 We're still going to be here for a long time, still going to be a number one economic power, the number one military power, number one superpower by far.

00:14:01.000 And we're going to remind everybody about it.

00:14:03.000 And that's fine.

00:14:04.000 And we've made a lot of, I think, we've rationalized a lot of that on this show and said, well, there's reasons for that.

00:14:12.000 And that's only acceptable insofar as we have the next chapter, the next part of the story, which is America.

00:14:19.000 We've made our point.

00:14:21.000 We've done almost a redux and kind of a weird synthesis of a Nixonian and a Reagan doctrine abroad, which is a once very real politique, a very pragmatic and realistic foreign policy, but at the same time, something very aggressive and in some degree Americanized in a more Ronald Reagan tradition.

00:14:40.000 So we have this very aggressive foreign policy.

00:14:43.000 And that's fine so long as the next phase is something very similar to what Russia is doing, which is now we scale it back. 0.80

00:14:50.000 We've made our point. 0.93

00:14:51.000 We show everybody what we're capable of, but now we're going to focus inwardly.

00:14:55.000 We're going to build up our infrastructure.

00:14:57.000 We're going to take care of our entitlements.

00:14:59.000 We're going to finally cut military spending.

00:15:01.000 And by the way, I think that's what's going to happen.

00:15:03.000 You know, I saw him at the rally at Elkhart, Indiana, and he said, well, we did the massive military expenditure to modernize the military.

00:15:12.000 He said, it's been dilapidated, and under Obama, you know, it's.

00:15:17.000 The quality hasn't been maintained and all the rest.

00:15:19.000 And so we're going to rebuild, we're going to modernize, we're going to make a 2018 military.

00:15:25.000 And so long as the expectation is that's a one time purchase and then we scale it back in a big way, I think that's acceptable.

00:15:32.000 But remains to be seen by no, you know, that's not a guarantee.

00:15:37.000 We have no assurance that that's going to be the same course.

00:15:39.000 But I think we would be silly not to look at Russia as a model for how a realist politician can govern in the 21st century, which is that there's something to be said for being respected, something to be said for.

00:15:52.000 Making a point, showing force when necessary, reminding the world of your power, but then we have to bring it back to the real focus.

00:16:00.000 So, Vladimir Putin, I think that's the right move, and also I think that's a great sign for relations between the United States and Russia.

00:16:08.000 Trump would be very wise to pick up on this.

00:16:12.000 He would be very wise to acknowledge this in some way and to maybe interpret this as a signal that Russia is ready to re engage with the West, because it is simply true that although China, North Korea, Iran, And Russia.

00:16:26.000 Although these rogue states or revisionist powers, I think that's the more apt and descriptive term, these revisionist powers, although they've been making strides, although they were kind of running the world under the Obama era, they are still completely dependent on Western finance, Western technology, banking.

00:16:45.000 They are still dependent on the American led financial system. 0.50

00:16:48.000 I think North Korea and our engagement with them basically demonstrates that. 0.58

00:16:53.000 I think our handling of Iran will demonstrate that. 0.98

00:16:55.000 You've seen a lot of.

00:16:58.000 Developments come out since Trump announced the withdrawal from the Iran deal that we're going to sanction German companies, we're going to sanction American companies.

00:17:05.000 All kinds of companies that continue to do business with Iran are going to get shut down.

00:17:09.000 And it basically just goes to show that America still runs the show, and that's okay.

00:17:14.000 You know, we don't have to go to war, we don't have to be enemies with these people.

00:17:17.000 But Trump would be wise to interpret these signals as basically, I don't know, some kind of a police, some kind of outreach, and say, we will meet you halfway, we will list sanctions, we will help with your economy if you meet us in this way.

00:17:30.000 And that's how you build world peace.

00:17:31.000 That's how you make it happen.

00:17:32.000 So I guess kind of a white pill and kind of a red pill on Russia's foreign affairs and their announcement about military. 0.95

00:17:39.000 It's a good sign. 0.97

00:17:40.000 It's a good sign.

00:17:41.000 And, you know, they've basically accomplished the objectives that they set out to complete.

00:17:45.000 And I think that's a fine thing.

00:17:47.000 You know, it's okay to have ambitions and objectives and all that abroad and to build up the military and to make this kind of a point so long as we see the objective and we complete it.

00:18:00.000 The biggest problem with the American military is it's never ending.

00:18:05.000 No end in sight.

00:18:06.000 There is not a concrete goal in mind that, okay, we check the box and now we're finished. 0.59

00:18:11.000 War on terror, our engagement in the Middle East, this never ending conflict with Russia. 0.94

00:18:17.000 There's no end in sight for it, at least with Russia. 0.79

00:18:20.000 They said, well, we'd like to match America's ABM capabilities with more advanced nuclear weaponry.

00:18:26.000 Okay, check and we're done. 0.67

00:18:28.000 We'd like to make some demonstration of force so we can secure the northern European plane against Western involvement.

00:18:36.000 And when Western bringing countries into the Western orbit.

00:18:39.000 Like Ukraine and Georgia and others.

00:18:41.000 Okay, check.

00:18:42.000 You know, we've got, we've destabilized Ukraine enough that they won't be in the European Union anytime soon.

00:18:47.000 We destabilized Georgia so they won't get into NATO anytime soon.

00:18:50.000 Okay, we're done.

00:18:51.000 And lastly, we're going to shore up the Assad government in Syria to demonstrate to the world that America doesn't make the rules.

00:18:58.000 Russia is still a power player.

00:18:59.000 Okay, check. 0.86

00:19:00.000 And we're done.

00:19:01.000 And we're going home.

00:19:02.000 They've accomplished their objectives.

00:19:04.000 They set out, you know, done, done, done.

00:19:06.000 And now we're going back to domestic spending.

00:19:08.000 And I think people would be far less opposed to American.

00:19:12.000 Projects if that were the case.

00:19:14.000 You know, I don't think we'll ever look at a war, or at least we won't look at an overseas war in a long time with any kind of optimism or any kind of sympathy after what happened in Iraq, right?

00:19:28.000 I mean, you've had wars before that have been less than successful.

00:19:31.000 You've had wars that have been overseas and whatever.

00:19:34.000 But this was a war that we set out.

00:19:35.000 We didn't know why we got in.

00:19:37.000 We didn't know why we were there.

00:19:38.000 And we're still not out 18 years later in Afghanistan or 17 years later, 15 years in Iraq.

00:19:45.000 And so, if it were just, you know, look, maybe we'll try this.

00:19:47.000 If it doesn't work out, we'll pull out, that'd be a different story. 0.87

00:19:50.000 So, as long as we approach our engagement with North Korea and with Iran, the present policy of containment in that way, which is we want denuclearization and we want, you know, we want to resolve this issue with Iranian aggression and sponsorship of terrorism and all that, I think we'd be much better off. 0.89

00:20:08.000 So, that's Russia. 0.92

00:20:09.000 Big development with Russia.

00:20:11.000 The other big development that we saw today, moving right along, and there's so much going on in foreign affairs where it's just little things and.

00:20:18.000 It all carries essentially the same narrative.

00:20:21.000 It's all basically the same kind of quagmire, which is this global empire and how we're navigating that in the era of Trump.

00:20:29.000 But the next big development this was something from Fox News, which I also didn't see a whole lot of on Twitter.com, which I guess kind of makes sense because we've all known it for a long time.

00:20:40.000 But there was a big report out today on Fox News that showed that one of the so called moderate Syrian rebels who brokered a deal between the CIA and And the rebels, he has come forward and admitted explicitly that American weapons found their way into the hands of Al Qaeda and the Al Nusra Front.

00:21:00.000 And this is no surprise.

00:21:02.000 You know, oh, really?

00:21:04.000 American weapons that went to Syrian rebels went to terrorists?

00:21:08.000 That's so shocking.

00:21:09.000 That's so surprising.

00:21:10.000 I mean, we all knew that this had been going on.

00:21:13.000 And how could it not have?

00:21:14.000 Where it's a country like Syria, where a fifth of the population supports ISIS, we don't know what's going on.

00:21:20.000 It's like a different rebel group every day.

00:21:22.000 They change their name, they break off.

00:21:24.000 I mean, we have no idea who these people are.

00:21:26.000 We don't know what they are.

00:21:28.000 We don't know what's going on there.

00:21:29.000 And we're just pouring in weapons and ammunition and just money.

00:21:33.000 So it's no surprise to any of us and anybody who had ever heard of this program that this would happen.

00:21:38.000 But, I mean, how striking is it?

00:21:40.000 And I'll pull it up on my notes.

00:21:41.000 The guy's name escapes me.

00:21:43.000 But the fella's name was Abu Zayd. 1.00

00:21:48.000 I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. 0.59

00:21:49.000 I don't speak Arabic.

00:21:50.000 But he confirmed today to Fox News explicitly he was in the Syrian army.

00:21:56.000 He defected in 2012.

00:21:58.000 And he.

00:21:59.000 Supervised a CIA program to train a moderate Syrian rebel force.

00:22:05.000 And he talked about how there was one point where these people were badly trained immediately after they got out of training.

00:22:11.000 And by the way, none of them even wanted to be there.

00:22:13.000 They all were considering defecting or joining another group.

00:22:16.000 None of them wanted to be there.

00:22:17.000 They were poorly trained.

00:22:19.000 They just got armed with their ammunition, their trucks, their military equipment.

00:22:23.000 And right after the training, they get ambushed by the al Nusra front.

00:22:27.000 They get kidnapped.

00:22:28.000 They steal all the guns, they steal all the ammunition. 0.73

00:22:31.000 And now all the American arms are in the hands of Al Qaeda. 0.81

00:22:34.000 There was another story told where he brokered in exchange for safe passage through a certain area for his group, this Abu Zayd.

00:22:42.000 He traded for safe passage and all that five pickup trucks and all kinds of ammunition.

00:22:48.000 He says he's got warehouses full of M60s and all kinds of American manufactured arms and weapons and explosives and cars.

00:22:57.000 And this just goes to show that the present policy is unsustainable.

00:23:01.000 It basically lays out the previous thing, which is.

00:23:04.000 You know, this cannot be sustained forever.

00:23:07.000 This is the foreign policy we've been conducting for so long.

00:23:10.000 And I don't know.

00:23:11.000 I mean, it's just kind of doesn't that tell you something when these people, the people that brokered the deal? 0.89

00:23:16.000 So it's not like before we all kind of knew it, but it was hard really to prove it because you'd get these Zionists who come on cable and say, like, you can't prove this. 0.69

00:23:25.000 And it's like, of course, because they're on the ground and the only people reporting on it are like conspiracy.net.biz says, you know, that Al Qaeda and the Illuminati control the world, whatever. 0.68

00:23:38.000 But now you have on Fox News headline, the guy who brokered the deal is telling us, yeah, no, all. 0.67

00:23:43.000 All the weapons that came over to us from the government are in the hands of Al Qaeda.

00:23:48.000 And what really I think is striking, we've heard this all before, we know this, but the core of this, at the base level, our policies make no sense. 0.82

00:23:58.000 Think about our weapons sales worldwide, think about our arms trafficking to foreign countries and to non state actors and all these different affairs.

00:24:07.000 Think about that.

00:24:08.000 And then think about, at the same time, in parallel, gun control.

00:24:13.000 So, at once, we're telling everybody we can't have weapons on the streets.

00:24:17.000 We want to get weapons of war off the streets.

00:24:21.000 And we're combating terrorism.

00:24:23.000 We're going to build the TSA.

00:24:25.000 And they're going to scan you. 0.87

00:24:26.000 And even if you're like an old lady or a baby, they're going to grope you.

00:24:29.000 They're going to grab you because, you know, we have no idea who the terrorists are, right?

00:24:34.000 And so we're going to do all this kind of stuff.

00:24:35.000 We're bringing people over from the Middle East.

00:24:38.000 We have all these objectives going on. 0.99

00:24:40.000 And at the same time, we're shipping weapons over to the terrorists and bringing them into our country. 0.67

00:24:44.000 So.

00:24:45.000 I think this just goes to show that what happens at the government is something that is completely incoherent.

00:24:52.000 And this is either incompetence or it's by design.

00:24:55.000 Either way, it just goes to show that something has gone very wrong.

00:24:58.000 Because we can talk about a lot of things.

00:24:59.000 We can talk about, we can have our moral outrage about arms trafficking and we're giving it to the wrong people.

00:25:05.000 Isn't that outrageous?

00:25:06.000 But just think about just the sheer incoherence here, the stark, blatant, just obnoxious incoherence that at once we're trying to make people safe in crowds.

00:25:18.000 We're trying to reassure people that.

00:25:20.000 In schools and transportation hubs and at the airport and all these other places.

00:25:25.000 We're going to put in place security and surveillance.

00:25:27.000 We're going to build a big surveillance state that'll collect everybody's phone records all the time.

00:25:32.000 And we're going to take the guns off the streets.

00:25:34.000 And we're going to have the FBI and the NSA and the CIA and all these different groups.

00:25:39.000 And then we're going to ship guns over to the Middle East.

00:25:42.000 We're going to practically just give them to the terrorists. 0.70

00:25:45.000 And then we're going to bring the terrorists over here.

00:25:47.000 And if that's not enough, well, we'll just get rid of the southern border.

00:25:51.000 So, they could just come to Mexico and walk right in with their guns and all the rest, and there'll just be no vetting.

00:25:58.000 Does that make any sense?

00:26:00.000 Are we a serious country?

00:26:01.000 Are we a serious government?

00:26:03.000 How can you say that we're a serious country if that's the case, right?

00:26:09.000 And that's, I guess, kind of what Donald Trump is up against when people talk about, well, why hasn't this been fixed?

00:26:14.000 I mean, this is a systemic problem where it's the bureaucracy, it's the Congress.

00:26:20.000 It is baked into how laws are passed, it is baked into how laws are passed.

00:26:25.000 Enforced by the executive, that this is the way it is.

00:26:28.000 Short of radical institutional change, these things will not be corrected.

00:26:33.000 You can pass a law, you can elect a politician, you can do a lot of things, but short of radical institutional reform, and I'm not talking about like, oh, the Immigration Reform Act or the Arms Trafficking Reform Act, short of drastic institutional change, I'm talking about a constitutional amendment, I'm talking about term limits, something like that, downsizing the bureaucracy, reinstating federalism, I don't know what it would be.

00:26:58.000 But short of that kind of radical institutional change, there can be no expectation that this will get any better.

00:27:04.000 Because you can have somebody come in and they'll pass a couple of laws like a Reagan or a Bill Clinton or whoever, but that will always be there.

00:27:13.000 There will always be that kind of issue. 0.93

00:27:15.000 And it's just so silly.

00:27:17.000 I don't know why people take it seriously anymore. 0.60

00:27:19.000 When we have these objectives and these goals of like, you know, we want people to be safe, we want to keep them safe from gun violence or want to stop terrorism.

00:27:28.000 And we're creating terrorists and then inviting them over to the country.

00:27:34.000 Why? 0.78

00:27:34.000 Why would we do that? 0.78

00:27:36.000 Here would be such a much more simple answer. 1.00

00:27:40.000 Just stop bringing Muslims into the country. 1.00

00:27:42.000 So simple. 1.00

00:27:44.000 And that's, I guess, the bigger problem.

00:27:45.000 That's one of the cultural problems because we have to be politically correct, we can't really address the problem where it is, where people want to drown out the ocean to save somebody that's drowning.

00:27:56.000 You know, somebody's drowning in the lake or whatever.

00:28:00.000 And instead of somebody saying, hey, let's just like bring this guy to the shore, let's throw out a life preserver, we're just going to find a way to drain out all the water in the lake.

00:28:08.000 I mean, that's effectively what we do with our policies, right?

00:28:11.000 Which is rather than just say, let's just, well, we can continue all this. 1.00

00:28:15.000 Just don't bring in any more Muslims. 1.00

00:28:17.000 Just don't bring in any more immigrants. 1.00

00:28:19.000 Just build a wall, stop bringing these people in, spy on exactly this group of people. 1.00

00:28:24.000 They're like half a percentage of the population.

00:28:26.000 And then we don't need a TSA, and then we don't need gun control, and we don't need this and that.

00:28:31.000 Let's just focus.

00:28:32.000 Who commits the crimes?

00:28:33.000 Let's just focus on those people.

00:28:35.000 Who commits the terrorism?

00:28:36.000 Let's focus on those people. 1.00

00:28:37.000 Let's bring in less of them into our country. 1.00

00:28:41.000 It's just so simple. 1.00

00:28:42.000 And that's the kind of thinking that you need in this country, but it'll never happen because of the way it works.

00:28:47.000 So that's your. 0.71

00:28:49.000 It's technically about Syria, but it's really about the country.

00:28:52.000 It's really about what goes on in the government and how broken it is.

00:28:56.000 But let's see.

00:28:57.000 We got another big one to move into.

00:28:59.000 And I know we're kind of moving rapid fire, it's a lot in one show.

00:29:03.000 Some people say they like the long show that's about one thing.

00:29:06.000 Some people say they like the current events, but we have to.

00:29:09.000 I would be remiss if I didn't cover this, but we have to.

00:29:12.000 It's the latest development out of North Korea, a big announcement out of the South Korean media.

00:29:18.000 South Korean media is reporting that North Korea has canceled a meeting, a high level meeting between the South and North Koreans that was set to take place on Wednesday in a border town to discuss Red Cross and de escalating border tensions and reunifying families.

00:29:35.000 Across the border.

00:29:37.000 And the North Koreans allegedly said that they canceled the meeting because of military drills that are going on that started on Friday, joint military drills with the United States and South Korea.

00:29:47.000 They say that that's an unnecessary provocation.

00:29:50.000 So they canceled the South Korea North Korea summit.

00:29:53.000 And they also threatened and said, hey, we might just call off the whole thing, call off the summit with the United States.

00:29:59.000 And, you know, Scott Adams was talking a lot about this.

00:30:02.000 I think he's basically got the right take, which is this is what's going to happen.

00:30:07.000 Going forward with this negotiation, the meeting takes place on June 12th in Singapore.

00:30:15.000 Between now and then, I think you're going to see a lot of this threats to back out of the deal, threats to walk away from the table.

00:30:21.000 You'll see all kinds of things.

00:30:23.000 And basically, my interpretation is this I think that, and this is also what Scott Adams said.

00:30:28.000 So I'm not plagiarizing, I'm saying, you know, this is what was said.

00:30:32.000 Basically, the premise is this North Korea has been almost kind of embarrassed in the Western press and in the world press.

00:30:40.000 Because of all the concessions they've made, right?

00:30:42.000 I mean, they deconstructed or they're planning on deconstructing their nuclear testing grounds later on this month, and they said they'll do it very publicly.

00:30:51.000 People said actually it collapsed, and that's why they're deconstructing it.

00:30:54.000 But nevertheless, they're going to deconstruct it.

00:30:56.000 They said that they're giving up these three prisoners that they held from the United States, and they're going to make all kinds of concessions.

00:31:03.000 And basically, the international press is saying, and Trump is also saying, North Korea is giving all this, and the U.S. and South Korea have given up nothing.

00:31:13.000 They haven't given up on sanctions, they haven't given up on the military drills.

00:31:19.000 But North Korea is giving all kinds of stuff.

00:31:21.000 Trump has basically bent them to his will.

00:31:24.000 And I've got to think that that has an effect, where if North Korea is.

00:31:27.000 Thinking that their nuclear arsenal is going to be the bargaining chip that they want it to be, in the sense that if they think that denuclearization is something that will get them investment and sanctions relief and all the rest, well, then it doesn't really behoove them to go into the negotiation with the perception of the West and of the world being that North Korea is just giving away the whole house and they're expecting nothing in return.

00:31:52.000 They're ready to bend the knee and they're done.

00:31:54.000 So I think that's what this is about.

00:31:55.000 The threat to pull out is basically a signal to the West and maybe to the world that.

00:32:00.000 North Korea is not just going to give up on everything. 0.82

00:32:03.000 North Korea is still, you know, they're still the bad guy, basically. 0.78

00:32:06.000 They're still going to be who they are. 0.97

00:32:08.000 But it remains to be seen what happens.

00:32:10.000 I think you're going to see a lot of this back and forth before June 12th.

00:32:13.000 This is really the most critical time.

00:32:16.000 And it's not all that unsurprising.

00:32:18.000 It makes sense.

00:32:19.000 And honestly, it's almost kind of sick because Trump, I don't think, and I don't think the global press would be talking about it the way they are if it weren't for the American press basically chastising Trump about it, saying, like, Oh, Trump gave so much on North Korea.

00:32:35.000 I mean, in some ways, they're almost colluding with the enemy.

00:32:37.000 You know, all that QAnon stuff, we like to make fun of it, but I don't know. 0.95

00:32:41.000 It sounds kind of legitimate when you look at the way that the American liberal globalist press has been, in effect, working to further the causes of North Korea and of Iran in the way that they goad Trump into saying things like, yeah, they've given us everything and we've had to give nothing.

00:32:58.000 Like, he wouldn't say that if it weren't for the press constantly going after him for this and discrediting him, and by goading him to say that.

00:33:06.000 And by making that so public, I think they almost forced that reaction by North Korea.

00:33:11.000 They forced North Korea to rethink the process and maybe think about backing out.

00:33:16.000 And we'll see what happens.

00:33:18.000 I don't know.

00:33:22.000 On the one hand, you might think we should stop the drills.

00:33:25.000 On the one hand, you might think, well, the drills aren't really making any changes.

00:33:29.000 And North, or rather, South Korea and the United States say, we've been doing this for decades.

00:33:33.000 This is part of our treaty.

00:33:35.000 This is just about preparedness.

00:33:37.000 And you might think, who cares?

00:33:38.000 Let's just cancel it.

00:33:39.000 Let's call it off.

00:33:41.000 So that we could get this deal.

00:33:42.000 By the same token, the other school of thought is that if we give on the drills, that's a sign of weakness.

00:33:48.000 And going into the negotiation, if we set the precedent that we will give up on certain things without concessions, that really sends the wrong message.

00:33:59.000 If we give up on the drills because North Korea threatens to pull out of the talks, that really erodes the entire foundation for our negotiation, which is that maximum pressure must be in place.

00:34:11.000 And the only exception to that is complete denuclearization.

00:34:15.000 That's the only way that the North Korean U.S. summit works out, is if North Korea commits 100% to complete denuclearization, not synchronized, not on the basis of reciprocity, but they just completely give it up.

00:34:29.000 And after that fact, then they get the relief.

00:34:33.000 If that goes away, you might as well not even have a negotiation.

00:34:36.000 You might as well not have a summit.

00:34:38.000 If you have a summit and don't achieve that, it achieves the opposite effect.

00:34:41.000 It achieves what everybody said, or rather what the biggest concerns were.

00:34:45.000 Which is that we legitimize the North Korean regime by meeting in exchange for nothing.

00:34:51.000 And we go and we meet, but if we give concessions, then it sends really the wrong message. 0.67

00:34:56.000 It creates a tremendous amount of moral hazard.

00:34:58.000 So I'm a little bit torn.

00:34:59.000 On the one hand, we want the summit to take place.

00:35:01.000 On the other hand, I think this is kind of like the last ditch effort by North Korea to maybe salvage some kind of bargaining position.

00:35:10.000 This is kind of like the dying gasp of the North Korean nuclear ambitions, maybe, the nuclear regime or strategy.

00:35:18.000 Where they're saying we might pull out if you don't cancel the drills.

00:35:22.000 I have a strong feeling they will not pull out of the United States talks.

00:35:25.000 I have a feeling that if we ignore that, if we maintain the course, we stay on track, I have a strong feeling that they will not pull out.

00:35:32.000 But remains to be seen.

00:35:33.000 Very interesting situation going on.

00:35:36.000 And of course, so much more is at stake here because now we also have simultaneously, concurrently, we have what's going on with Iran.

00:35:45.000 And so Trump has kind of played this beautifully where at once there's a great amount of risk that if one of them goes wrong, Both of them will probably go wrong.

00:35:53.000 But by the same token, there's also this great benefit that the two situations kind of play off of each other.

00:35:59.000 He's introduced a tremendous amount of maneuverability here, where if he introduces something to the North Korean situation, it'll have an effect on the Iranian situation.

00:36:09.000 So if we reach a stalemate with North Korea, well, we could do something with Iran to send a message to North Korea, or vice versa.

00:36:16.000 And that was kind of the situation with the Syrian civil war.

00:36:19.000 That was another theater where we could.

00:36:22.000 Act in that area to make an indirect impact on what was happening in another area.

00:36:27.000 And I think that's the beauty of this kind of deal making strategy, it's all connected.

00:36:32.000 You know, and a lot of people were saying, for example, well, how could Trump, and this is just an example of this, they said, how can Trump hurt Iran in the same way that he hurt North Korea?

00:36:42.000 Because North Korea was dependent on China.

00:36:44.000 So all we had to do was break up China, or rather, persuade China to get hot on North Korea, not to get hot, but to get strong on North Korea, maybe. 0.61

00:36:53.000 If they got hot on North Korea, that'd be a little weird. 0.79

00:36:56.000 But to get hard on North Korea, and then we brought North Korea to the table. 0.84

00:37:00.000 They say, well, how can we do that with Iran?

00:37:02.000 Because Iran has got a much more robust economy, and they're connected with the European countries, and they've got the joint comprehensive plan of action with all these other countries, so they still have investment coming in.

00:37:15.000 But then they forget that Trump has tremendous leverage over all countries involved.

00:37:20.000 He's got leverage over the European countries with the steel and aluminum tariffs.

00:37:24.000 He's got leverage over them with all these tariffs that are going into place and all these trade deals going on, and some of the things he's been saying about the European Union.

00:37:33.000 And you look at some of the biggest steel exporters to the United States, it's Germany and Canada.

00:37:39.000 It's not China.

00:37:41.000 So I think you look at that entire situation, it just goes to show that Trump really has a holistic vision of the world. 1.00

00:37:47.000 You talk about smart power, and it looks like retarded baby power compared to what Trump is doing. 1.00

00:37:53.000 You know, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, they were all about smart power, which was like. 1.00

00:37:58.000 You know, we're basically, I don't even know. 0.99

00:37:59.000 Like, we're going to build a green treehouse and, you know, Iran can have sex with us in it. 0.99

00:38:06.000 Like, that was their smart power. 1.00

00:38:06.000 And I don't know. 1.00

00:38:08.000 And they basically look like retarded babies. 1.00

00:38:11.000 That was baby power compared to Trump's power because he sees the entire thing in all of its depth, which is Iran, it's not going to work with purely American sanctions. 0.99

00:38:22.000 So let's put in place such an ambitious tariffs regimen, such an ambitious tariff program across the world that we can break all the countries.

00:38:32.000 That are pouring investment into Iran will sanction Germany, will punch China in the nose, will break Russia's gut, and will bring them all to heel.

00:38:41.000 I mean, that's the beauty of Trump, where it's even if you can't see it, it's all connected there.

00:38:45.000 And it was just announced that Siemens, which I think is a German company, and ha ha, Siemens, right?

00:38:50.000 They're going to pull out investment from Iran.

00:38:53.000 Boeing is canceling a major contract to Iran.

00:38:56.000 And these are some of the ways that we'll be able to break them.

00:38:58.000 There's a lot of talk about regime change in Iran, a lot of talk.

00:39:03.000 You know, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo there.

00:39:05.000 Suddenly there's a certain idea in Iran where the money's drying up, there's popular.

00:39:11.000 Protests.

00:39:12.000 The Trump regime may support some of them.

00:39:14.000 Saudi Arabia and Israel are on the same page.

00:39:16.000 John Bolton's in there.

00:39:18.000 Maybe they get a different idea.

00:39:19.000 So I think it's a very far encompassing deal making strategy or doctrine of dual containment there.

00:39:25.000 I think that's what you're seeing play out. 0.59

00:39:27.000 And in short, the North Korea situation, I don't think it's too much to be upset about or to be dismayed about. 0.96

00:39:36.000 I haven't seen a lot of it on the timeline because I basically blocked all the black pillars. 0.56

00:39:41.000 But I'm sure they're saying, you know, oh, well, Trump's not going to do world peace. 0.94

00:39:45.000 I want nuclear war to be TFO Nick Francis, but I think this is basically what you're going to see going forward.

00:39:51.000 So that's the foreign affairs news of the day.

00:39:54.000 That's a lot.

00:39:56.000 That's a lot.

00:39:57.000 We've been all over the world in such a short time.

00:39:59.000 We were at Russia, and then we went to Syria, and then we went to North Korea.

00:40:03.000 Get your passports out because we're going all over the place.

00:40:06.000 But a very complicated world.

00:40:08.000 It really takes a tremendous amount of vision to see all these things.

00:40:12.000 You know, a lot of people like to think that they're the experts.

00:40:16.000 On foreign affairs or whatever, but it really takes a certain kind of intelligence.

00:40:21.000 I'm not saying I'm the most intelligent person in the world.

00:40:24.000 I think I'm up there.

00:40:26.000 But I am saying it takes a certain kind of instinct.

00:40:26.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:40:29.000 It takes a certain kind of vision.

00:40:32.000 It really is something you're born with.

00:40:33.000 It's an instinct, it's an intuition, it's an intellect or an aptitude that you see these connections. 0.80

00:40:39.000 Because a normal person will see the world in terms of Israel, Israel, you know, and that's it. 0.94

00:40:45.000 Or the Jews, or, you know, the Muslims, you know, it's always like, One track, one dimensional. 0.88

00:40:51.000 And this is, I think, why Trump excels. 0.77

00:40:53.000 This is why Trump has been doing so well because, as a businessman, as someone in the private sector with this very specific aptitude, he sees the incentives, the motivations, the liabilities, the costs.

00:41:06.000 He sees the assets.

00:41:07.000 He sees how to move things around.

00:41:10.000 And that's his strength.

00:41:11.000 And I think I understand that.

00:41:13.000 I think I see that very clearly.

00:41:15.000 And that's why our predictions on this show have been so correct because.

00:41:19.000 We look at it in that way as opposed to in a very ideological way.

00:41:24.000 The ideology almost tints the way you look at things, it distorts the way you look at things.

00:41:28.000 So that could be a big problem.

00:41:30.000 But that's the foreign affairs news of the day.

00:41:32.000 We're going to get into your Streamlabs and Super Chats in that order.

00:41:37.000 And then we'll take a look at the results from the primary elections in Nebraska and Pennsylvania.

00:41:45.000 So we'll see.

00:41:46.000 I also DM'd Jazz Hands McFields if he wanted to pop on real quick.

00:41:52.000 And he says he's not at home, so I don't know if he'll be able to do it.

00:41:54.000 Maybe another time then.

00:41:56.000 But let's look at our Streamlabs.

00:41:57.000 We'll see what we got going on here. 0.99

00:42:00.000 Begbie says, Nice legs and fantastic candid intro.

00:42:04.000 Yes, thank you.

00:42:05.000 You can see finally that I do, in fact, wear pants when I do the show.

00:42:10.000 A lot of people, when I was doing it on RSBN, they would say, Is Nick wearing pants?

00:42:14.000 Is Nick in his underwear?

00:42:15.000 Is he just naked? 0.72

00:42:17.000 Does he even have legs? 0.67

00:42:19.000 Or maybe he's, you know, he was born half a man.

00:42:22.000 Who knows?

00:42:23.000 But no, I do in fact wear pants.

00:42:25.000 So you got to see.

00:42:28.000 But behind the scenes, a little bit.

00:42:30.000 Moki or Mochi says if you're pagan and don't regularly sacrifice animals and babies because you're afraid of Mother Nature, you're just LARPing, TBH. 1.00

00:42:39.000 Basically, true. 1.00

00:42:40.000 On the pagans, they've got no temples.

00:42:43.000 There's no temples in the United States.

00:42:44.000 So, where do you even go to worship? 0.51

00:42:46.000 You know, you're a pagan, really? 0.97

00:42:48.000 Tell me where you go to worship. 0.97

00:42:50.000 Tell me where is your house of worship?

00:42:52.000 Where's the community?

00:42:52.000 There is none.

00:42:53.000 You're LARPing.

00:42:55.000 And we T-pose regularly on our pagan heathens in the movement.

00:43:00.000 Good Christian lad says: Nikki, you are doing a great job at T-posing the pagans.

00:43:06.000 I agree with your tweet that self-improvement is not a substitute for God, they go hand in hand.

00:43:12.000 Need big arms to lift your children to the icon at liturgy.

00:43:15.000 Much love from the Orthodox crowd.

00:43:17.000 Much appreciated, big guy.

00:43:19.000 And it's true.

00:43:20.000 You know, people interpreted that tweet to say, you can't work out.

00:43:24.000 Nick isn't going to the gym because he's lazy.

00:43:26.000 Ba, ba, ba.

00:43:27.000 The point was simply that there is no substitute for God.

00:43:31.000 There is no substitute for God.

00:43:34.000 And this is across the board.

00:43:36.000 It's not racial consciousness.

00:43:38.000 It's not working out at the gym.

00:43:40.000 It's not casual sex.

00:43:41.000 It's not making a lot of money.

00:43:43.000 It's not the GDP.

00:43:45.000 Nothing is a substitute for communion with the Holy Father.

00:43:49.000 And here's why.

00:43:51.000 In a very scientific way, for people that don't have faith, what a man needs for fulfillment or for happiness, some of the key things besides friends and family, is a satisfactory explanation for death and suffering.

00:44:07.000 The only way, the only way you get that is extrinsically.

00:44:11.000 The only way you get that is from.

00:44:12.000 God.

00:44:13.000 And you get that only from the true religion, which is Catholicism or Christianity more broadly. 0.87

00:44:19.000 For the Protestants, we have to equivocate a little bit, but you get the picture. 0.74

00:44:23.000 And so when I say self improvement is not a substitute, that means exactly what it says not a substitute.

00:44:29.000 I'm not saying don't self improve.

00:44:31.000 I'm not saying self improvement is a bad thing.

00:44:33.000 I'm saying it is not a substitute.

00:44:36.000 And people are like, oh, he's actually saying this.

00:44:38.000 And if he clarifies, he's backpedaling.

00:44:40.000 No, no, no, no.

00:44:41.000 What is a substitute?

00:44:43.000 It means something that can replace, it cannot replace.

00:44:46.000 Now, they are complementary.

00:44:48.000 Absolutely.

00:44:49.000 They go hand in hand.

00:44:50.000 In fact, they are reciprocal.

00:44:52.000 One benefits the other.

00:44:53.000 If you believe in God, you want to improve yourself.

00:44:56.000 If you improve yourself, you do it for God.

00:44:57.000 So they all go together, but it will never be a substitute.

00:45:02.000 It is necessary, but not sufficient.

00:45:04.000 And the same people that were complaining, saying, I bet Nick is just too lazy to go to the gym, which I've been going to the gym, by the way, okay?

00:45:12.000 Just not the most important thing, but it is up there.

00:45:14.000 I do go to the gym.

00:45:16.000 All the people that were complaining about it, I do not see them posting about going to church.

00:45:21.000 I do not see them posting about saying their prayers.

00:45:24.000 I don't see them posting about Jesus Christ, about God, about piety, anything like that.

00:45:30.000 So it was very easy for them to say, oh, we actually don't counter signal religion.

00:45:34.000 Nobody's saying it's a substitute.

00:45:37.000 And of course, actions speak much louder than words.

00:45:42.000 You can say that that's not your belief, but of course, we all know that it is.

00:45:46.000 We all know they have replaced the idolization of casual sex by the left with the idolization of.

00:45:54.000 Of the physical form.

00:45:54.000 They have replaced you with the idolization of whatever the latest trend is.

00:45:59.000 And that's a real problem.

00:46:00.000 You can have good things in your life.

00:46:02.000 You can improve yourself, but we have to remember why we do it.

00:46:05.000 We have to remember why we're here. 0.98

00:46:07.000 That's the only fanaticism that will get people to get off their ass and make the country better. 0.99

00:46:13.000 That's the only way. 0.99

00:46:14.000 So you believe in self improvement?

00:46:16.000 God bless you.

00:46:16.000 Good.

00:46:17.000 Welcome to the church.

00:46:19.000 Get on your knees and pray.

00:46:20.000 That's the only way you're going to get people, I think, in my humble opinion.

00:46:25.000 That's the only way we're going to turn the country around.

00:46:26.000 That's the only way.

00:46:28.000 Kind of fanaticism that you can inspire people that will get the results that we want.

00:46:33.000 You'll get a fringe element no matter what you promote, whether it's liberty or whether it's equality or racial consciousness, whatever it is.

00:46:41.000 You get a small, tiny amount of people to do it.

00:46:44.000 But what really motivates people to act is that something bigger, because that's something we can all relate to.

00:46:50.000 That's the only universal the experience of suffering in the modern world.

00:46:55.000 Left, right, center, we all feel it.

00:46:57.000 That hunger is all there for us.

00:46:59.000 That's how you get people to get on the right track.

00:47:01.000 And it's apolitical, by the way.

00:47:02.000 They don't even have to vote.

00:47:04.000 Get a family, find a good wife, be pious, be virgins until you get married, of course.

00:47:09.000 Start a family, you know, be a community person.

00:47:12.000 All of this is apolitical.

00:47:13.000 It's become political, but all of this is, at the end of the day, apolitical.

00:47:17.000 And so that's how you motivate that to happen.

00:47:19.000 That's what we're trying to do.

00:47:21.000 Bradshaw, just yesterday, sports gambling has been legalized by the Supreme Court.

00:47:26.000 Your thoughts?

00:47:27.000 And how do you feel about gambling in general?

00:47:29.000 Keep up the work, big guy.

00:47:30.000 Appreciate you.

00:47:32.000 And, well, what the Supreme Court actually did was they.

00:47:36.000 Allowed states to legalize it.

00:47:38.000 So, a little different.

00:47:39.000 They just made it so that if you're a state and you vote to legalize gambling, I think I'm pretty sure that's what they did.

00:47:44.000 I didn't read too much about it, but I'm basically sure that it wasn't.

00:47:47.000 They said, okay, it's legal everywhere.

00:47:49.000 They said, if you're a state, you're allowed to do this now.

00:47:52.000 And I'm against gambling.

00:47:55.000 I don't know if it should be illegal.

00:47:56.000 I'm generally against things being illegal.

00:47:58.000 In my opinion, if you promote a virtuous society, you don't really need the laws.

00:48:03.000 Now, you could say that we could promote a virtuous society with the state and through legalistic means.

00:48:08.000 I don't know how effective that is, but Nevertheless, I'm basically against gambling.

00:48:13.000 I hate gambling because I don't like to throw money away.

00:48:18.000 I don't know if I would go as far to say that I'm greedy.

00:48:20.000 If I were greedy, I wouldn't be in the eCeleb YouTube business.

00:48:24.000 But no, I see gambling because I'm not very good at it.

00:48:28.000 I'm not very good at poker, so I throw money in the pot, I play, and I lose.

00:48:33.000 And sometimes I win.

00:48:35.000 But when I lose, I feel like that was Taco Bell, that was a book, that was this.

00:48:40.000 I don't know.

00:48:41.000 Some people like it.

00:48:42.000 I've never understood the appeal, the thrill of losing money.

00:48:47.000 Maybe I'm just cheap.

00:48:49.000 Maybe that's my inner Jew coming out, as they tell me.

00:48:52.000 That's a horrible thing to say.

00:48:53.000 Why would I say that?

00:48:55.000 But many people say that.

00:48:57.000 But yeah, so I'm generally against it.

00:49:00.000 I'm going to get so ragged over about that on right wing watch.

00:49:05.000 You're going to be like, Nick Fuentes, anti Semite, says Jewish people are good with money. 0.95

00:49:10.000 Terrible, right? 1.00

00:49:11.000 I say that in a good way.

00:49:13.000 Please don't kill my family.

00:49:16.000 Right, but it's true.

00:49:19.000 Maybe that is my inner Jewish spirit. 0.83

00:49:20.000 Very good with money, very conservative about where I spend it.

00:49:25.000 You know, it's so hard because sometimes maybe you spend too much time on Fortnite, too much time in the Discord, and then things start flying out.

00:49:32.000 Forget you're doing a show.

00:49:34.000 Real Politique says Can you recommend any good books or documentaries on Bismarck or the Weimar Republic?

00:49:41.000 Thanks, big guy.

00:49:43.000 Good books about Bismarck.

00:49:45.000 I read a really fantastic biography of Bismarck by A.J.P. Taylor.

00:49:51.000 Now, a word about Taylor as an historian or a historian.

00:49:57.000 I don't know what it is.

00:49:58.000 I know it's an history or whatever, but nevertheless, A.J.P. Taylor is an Anglo and he does not believe in the great man theory of history.

00:50:07.000 So there are some people that say, Nietzsche was one of them, that the world and world history is determined or.

00:50:17.000 I don't know, figured out by great men.

00:50:19.000 It's not about geography.

00:50:21.000 It's not about this or that.

00:50:22.000 But really, what moves the world, what creates history, is this certain class of great men.

00:50:29.000 It's the Alexanders of the Great, the Napoleons, the Stalins, the Lenins.

00:50:33.000 These are the people that drive history forward.

00:50:35.000 These are the people that determine the course of events.

00:50:38.000 That's what Nietzsche says and others who are proponents of this theory.

00:50:42.000 A.J.P. Taylor is just downright hostile to that worldview.

00:50:46.000 He says that no, no, no.

00:50:48.000 Actually, Bismarck was just making it up as he went along, and he didn't have these grand designs.

00:50:54.000 Actually, he, and in Bismarck's own words, as a politician, Bismarck said his task was to hear.

00:51:01.000 The sound of God's footsteps thundering through the halls of history and to try to grab onto his coat, which is a beautiful expression.

00:51:08.000 And so A.G.P. Taylor's of that kind of mindset.

00:51:11.000 So if you understand the bias of Taylor, who was a little bit anti German and was kind of hostile to that theory, but it is a great biography, a lot of good source materials in it.

00:51:22.000 And on the Weimar Republic, I haven't read so much about the Weimar Republic, so it's a little bit tough.

00:51:27.000 I do have a great documentary, I think, by a man named Toland about Hitler.

00:51:32.000 I forget, it's T O L A N D or T O L L A N D, which I haven't read that one yet, but I do have that one.

00:51:39.000 I did a lot of research on what's the right book to buy about Hitler because, you know, there's so many lies told about Hitler from both sides that I wanted to get the real truth.

00:51:46.000 And really think about that.

00:51:47.000 You know, there's only like one kind of theory you're supposed to have about him, but I wanted the correct one.

00:51:52.000 I wanted the objective one.

00:51:54.000 I don't care what the leftist media says or even the Nazis say.

00:52:00.000 I wanted the straight truth.

00:52:02.000 And, you know, you're allowed to have different opinions about Hitler. 0.81

00:52:04.000 I think.

00:52:05.000 And like you're allowed to have different opinions about anything.

00:52:07.000 So that's one I would recommend after my research to find the right book. 0.65

00:52:12.000 Joe the Croat says these pagans sicken me, Nikki. 0.69

00:52:15.000 Get the mobile baptism kit and the broadsword. 0.95

00:52:18.000 Looking back when I was retarded, I used to believe what they believe, but it's all a sad LARP. 1.00

00:52:24.000 Remind them that their great grandfathers would beat the living shit out of them for blasphemy. 1.00

00:52:29.000 True. 1.00

00:52:30.000 All true. 0.94

00:52:30.000 It's just ridiculous. 0.94

00:52:31.000 It's just a silly LARP. 1.00

00:52:34.000 The function of religion. 0.98

00:52:36.000 Is to answer those questions.

00:52:38.000 If it doesn't do that, even in a consequentialist way, you know, we believe because we think it's true.

00:52:43.000 But if you're to look at it from a Jungian consequentialist lens, as if to say, what does religion do for me?

00:52:50.000 What does religion do for the world?

00:52:53.000 It is to provide answers to those questions.

00:52:56.000 Why are we here?

00:52:57.000 Why do we suffer?

00:52:58.000 Why do we die?

00:52:59.000 If it doesn't do that, if you don't really believe in them, and therefore it doesn't do that, it's useless.

00:53:05.000 And if it's useless for that, Then you might say, oh, well, it's good because it strengthens these values and it'll bring our people together.

00:53:12.000 There's no pagans in this country.

00:53:14.000 There's no pagan temples. 1.00

00:53:16.000 They're all homosexuals. 1.00

00:53:17.000 There's only like 64% of them are heterosexual. 1.00

00:53:20.000 That was some poll I saw.

00:53:21.000 And there's like 10 of them that will do nothing even to achieve political ends.

00:53:26.000 It is the height of folly.

00:53:29.000 So I appreciate you, Joe.

00:53:30.000 My good Catholic friend, Ian Weber, says, I'm finally on Streamlabs.

00:53:37.000 No more YouTube money thievery.

00:53:39.000 Japan has low birth rates and low suicide rates, even when they live in a homogeneous country. 0.89

00:53:39.000 Why do you believe that you? 0.89

00:53:46.000 They are mostly godless, but what do you think is the main reasons are?

00:53:49.000 Japan does not have a low suicide rate.

00:53:51.000 Japan has a very high suicide rate. 0.92

00:53:54.000 And in terms of their birth rates, this is something that is, I think, basically natural. 0.90

00:54:00.000 I don't know if it's necessary to happen.

00:54:03.000 Well, you know, they say you're godless.

00:54:04.000 I think that's a big part of it. 1.00

00:54:06.000 You look at the countries where they have low birth rates, but they're rebounding, it's all religious countries. 0.67

00:54:10.000 It's Israel.

00:54:12.000 It's Poland, it's Russia, where the birth rates are rebounding a little bit.

00:54:15.000 You know, the countries where the birth rates are declining, it's godless countries.

00:54:18.000 It's Western Europe, it's Asia, it's the United States, Canada.

00:54:23.000 These are the countries that are having low birth rates.

00:54:26.000 In South and Central America, they're going down, but they're still above replacement.

00:54:30.000 In Africa, they're exploding. 1.00

00:54:31.000 In the Muslim world, they're exploding. 1.00

00:54:33.000 So the religious will inherit the earth. 1.00

00:54:36.000 And Japan is godless. 1.00

00:54:37.000 That's why. 0.92

00:54:38.000 And a big part of it's the money.

00:54:39.000 I think these things kind of go hand in hand.

00:54:42.000 Historically, true.

00:54:43.000 When things get better materially for people, they stop believing in God.

00:54:47.000 Because you imagine if you're like a poor farmer and you're surrounded by famine and your whole life is toil and there's no leisure, you know, it's hard not to believe in God, right?

00:54:58.000 If you're to believe that the end all be all is like subsistence farming and people dying all around you, you're probably going to look for answers.

00:55:05.000 You know, I think that's why you get a lot of religion and what some would call superstition in the countryside as opposed to in the urban sphere.

00:55:14.000 When you're in an urban life, there are so many worldly pleasures.

00:55:19.000 It's easy to lose track and maybe forget the extrinsic, or rather the existential suffering that we all feel, you know, and every now and again you're reminded, but.

00:55:31.000 Not for long before you get like an advertisement for like the new Beats headphones, a new Motorola Razorblade, whatever.

00:55:38.000 So, this is even during the Renaissance.

00:55:41.000 You saw a lot of humanism and a lot of the Enlightenment came out of the material wealth and prosperity of the Renaissance because people said, you know, we're doing better.

00:55:51.000 So, who really needs God?

00:55:53.000 We need the marketplace and all that.

00:55:55.000 So, I think that kind of goes hand in hand.

00:55:57.000 And then the economy tanks, or rather, the birth rates tank.

00:56:01.000 Because people are doing better.

00:56:02.000 They don't believe in God.

00:56:03.000 They're focused on the material instead of the divine.

00:56:07.000 And I think that that all kind of goes hand in hand.

00:56:11.000 Ian Weber, sorry, I meant high suicide rates.

00:56:13.000 It would be counter to my point if they had low suicide rates.

00:56:15.000 Well, exactly.

00:56:16.000 Exactly.

00:56:17.000 And that just goes against what Ryan Dawson said the other day.

00:56:19.000 Oh, well, you know, Japan's doing great.

00:56:21.000 All these godless countries are doing great. 0.98

00:56:23.000 They're not even going to exist in 10 years.

00:56:23.000 No, they're not.

00:56:26.000 So let's take a look.

00:56:27.000 And my allergies are acting up.

00:56:29.000 That's why I'm scratching my nose so much.

00:56:31.000 We'll take a look at our super chat, see what people are saying. 0.75

00:56:35.000 We've got Pagan Goddess Epic, who says, JF would like to set up a debate about the role of female YouTubers, preferably with you against, considering what you said last night.

00:56:47.000 Do you accept his invitation or didn't she mean it?

00:56:50.000 Well, what exactly did I say the other day about YouTubers? 1.00

00:56:54.000 I mean, I basically said that women are better off in the home. 1.00

00:56:57.000 I don't know. 0.93

00:56:58.000 A debate would be difficult because I'm not trying to say, like, women shouldn't be allowed to be on YouTube or, like, Lauren Southern should stop streaming.

00:57:06.000 Like, that's not really my position. 1.00

00:57:08.000 My position is that they shouldn't be encouraged to do it.

00:57:10.000 And actually, they might be better off having kids.

00:57:13.000 So, I don't know.

00:57:15.000 It's tough.

00:57:16.000 I would have to think about who the opponent would be because those kinds of fights tend to be a little bit more costly. 1.00

00:57:22.000 I mean, I've maintained a position that women don't belong in a political movement without completely alienating all the women in the movement because that's just the way it is right now. 1.00

00:57:32.000 So, I don't know how intelligent that would be, but. 1.00

00:57:35.000 Certainly, every woman I've encountered in this movement has been nothing but trouble for the most part. 0.65

00:57:41.000 You know, there are some exceptions and we know who they are.

00:57:44.000 But by and large, the people I've encountered, they just, they're like, I don't even know.

00:57:49.000 They're like IEDs in the road and you don't even see it coming.

00:57:52.000 You think they're one of the exceptions.

00:57:54.000 Then, boom, you know, you're like, your truck flips off the road.

00:57:57.000 There's like a nail and you're like, you know, splattering blood everywhere because it's every time.

00:58:02.000 You know, it was with Cassie Dillon where one night she was like, oh, you thought Richard Spencer's not literally Hitler?

00:58:08.000 We're done.

00:58:09.000 I'll never talk to you again. 1.00

00:58:10.000 And actually, I'm going to try and kill your career. 0.99

00:58:12.000 And I'm going to do all this. 0.98

00:58:14.000 You know, I go to the leadership institute.

00:58:15.000 You know, guys, actually, why don't we think about these issues critically?

00:58:18.000 You were actually pranked.

00:58:20.000 You were actually filmed.

00:58:21.000 And I sent that to Reagan Battalion, and they're going to ruin your life.

00:58:24.000 And oh, I applied for a job. 0.59

00:58:26.000 I'd like to work for a leashman suit.

00:58:27.000 I'd like to spread conservative ideas on campus.

00:58:30.000 Oh, you said that the West is dying? 0.99

00:58:33.000 Yeah, you're a racist. 1.00

00:58:34.000 We're going to torpedo your application, another woman. 1.00

00:58:37.000 So, in my experience, look, I'm not like a MGTOW or anything like that, nothing near it. 1.00

00:58:43.000 But my view about women has always just simply been realistic, which is women have very particular characteristics that are suited towards particular functions.

00:58:52.000 One of them is not politics. 1.00

00:58:54.000 Get them out. 0.77

00:58:55.000 Get them out.

00:58:56.000 They can have a small, you know, okay, you can have your little YouTube show and we're not going to give you a hard time because, you know, but by and large, I don't know.

00:59:08.000 It remains to be seen if they do more harm than good.

00:59:10.000 I guess I'd be on for a discussion.

00:59:11.000 I don't know if I'd go on for like, because when you get it in a debate, and I'll let you in on a little secret.

00:59:16.000 I have a very good friend of mine who showed me this model a little while ago.

00:59:20.000 The best way to win in debate is to frame the conversation with a series of two polls, which is, for example, Capitalism and communism.

00:59:30.000 And the best way to frame a debate is with these two poles and to have your opponent in the middle.

00:59:35.000 Because it is so much harder to defend a nuanced position.

00:59:38.000 It is so much harder to defend a position.

00:59:40.000 It's possible, but it's much more difficult to make the case for something that is comprehensive and is a little bit more complicated than it is to say, I'm one way or I'm the other way.

00:59:52.000 Oh, I'm the capitalist.

00:59:54.000 And so if you're a distributist or you're this and that, it's much easier to batter those people as, well, you're the other side or you're incoherent or whatever.

01:00:02.000 And so.

01:00:03.000 I try to not fall into those areas, not because it's not worth hearing those opinions, but because it may do more harm than good.

01:00:09.000 Because you get out and they're like, oh, you're saying women should never be here?

01:00:12.000 And it's like, no, no, no.

01:00:13.000 And you get called cucks by one side and sexist by another.

01:00:16.000 And it's just, you know, you understand this.

01:00:18.000 You understand this.

01:00:18.000 You're high acute.

01:00:20.000 And so that's what makes it difficult where I don't want to find myself in that position.

01:00:25.000 But I'd have a discussion.

01:00:28.000 Luke says, I was surprised you noticed that you started the stream.

01:00:32.000 Then I remembered Nick always notices, always notices.

01:00:37.000 I notice everything.

01:00:39.000 Empress Finest, who's the guest going to be this week?

01:00:42.000 How much percentage of Streamlabs do you get?

01:00:45.000 So, this is all kinds of comments in one. 0.92

01:00:47.000 Funny how Israel can kill POC without any backlash. 0.77

01:00:50.000 Sorry about the Discord, by the way. 0.99

01:00:52.000 Yeah, okay, so this character, Mr. Empress Finest, otherwise known as Bobop, otherwise known as Sam Hyde Shooter, otherwise known as Purple.

01:01:02.000 This guy, he comes in the Discord every night for verbal abuse.

01:01:07.000 He starts slinging insults around.

01:01:09.000 He gets the crab kicked out of him, and then he leaves.

01:01:12.000 So that's what he's talking about the discard.

01:01:14.000 But we still love him.

01:01:15.000 At the end of the day, he's still a part of the Amphurst family.

01:01:19.000 The guest this week, I haven't decided.

01:01:21.000 BG Cumbie might make an appearance.

01:01:24.000 I'm trying to set up a debate between Ryan Dawson and Jay Dyer, so we might do that.

01:01:30.000 Really, there's all kinds of things going on.

01:01:33.000 A lot of people want to get on the show, and we'll see.

01:01:36.000 Maybe we'll have a guest a couple of nights.

01:01:38.000 But we're looking at a lot of people right now.

01:01:38.000 Who knows?

01:01:41.000 And for Streamlabs, I get like 95% of it or 97%.

01:01:45.000 I mean, it's pretty good margins compared to Twitch, which takes half, and YouTube, which takes 30%.

01:01:52.000 It's brutal. 0.81

01:01:53.000 And Israel killing, yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:01:55.000 Always fantastic. 0.91

01:01:56.000 Well, they are getting some backlash.

01:01:59.000 Not in a big way, but they are getting some of it from Germany, from France, from some of the socialists in Europe, and from the left in this country.

01:02:08.000 They are getting a little bit of backlash.

01:02:10.000 And that'll be their undoing, is this kind of contrast between the.

01:02:14.000 Jewish media here and the Israeli kind of stranglehold over there, right? 0.62

01:02:19.000 Nikki Boo32 says, When is the Catboy deathmatch, Daddy Fuentes? 0.72

01:02:23.000 Oh boy, well, great optics.

01:02:26.000 Always great optics when you have that on the program. 0.58

01:02:29.000 The Catboy deathmatch will be had for the first, whenever we do the first America First meetup, you know, Nick Fuentes will do it in like a soldier field maybe to contain all the knickers, the millions of knickers from around the world.

01:02:45.000 They'll come in.

01:02:46.000 And we'll have the Catboy deathmatch there. 0.97

01:02:48.000 We'll get the finest Catboys in terms of physical as well as spiritual attributes, and we'll have them in a fight to the death.

01:02:55.000 It'll be very much like Fortnite.

01:02:56.000 They'll be dropped into the stadium, and there'll be weapons scattered about.

01:03:00.000 It'll be very gruesome and very bloody, but there can be only one, and that will be the top Catboy.

01:03:06.000 But we'll see.

01:03:08.000 And I get so much, you know, it's funny because that started out as a joke, kind of a joke, but I get killed about it on Gab, where people are like, we've discovered.

01:03:18.000 This top secret thing that nobody's heard about, Nick Fuentes tweets about Catboys.

01:03:23.000 You know, in my public server, in a public channel on my public server, we were posting about Catboys, and I wasn't.

01:03:32.000 I was hacked. 0.92

01:03:33.000 But we're posting about it, and they're posting the Wignats, you know, these unemployed bald losers are posting on Gab. 0.98

01:03:40.000 We figured him out. 0.98

01:03:41.000 We've got him.

01:03:42.000 He's Jewish.

01:03:43.000 He's this. 0.90

01:03:44.000 He's that.

01:03:45.000 And it's like, you know, fellas.

01:03:47.000 It's a meme, you dip, as they say.

01:03:51.000 So.

01:03:53.000 I can't catch a break.

01:03:54.000 I can't catch a break.

01:03:55.000 They called me everything in the book.

01:03:59.000 It's very hard being a right wingie.

01:04:02.000 I have the hardest life.

01:04:03.000 It's very difficult.

01:04:05.000 Hurrica or Jurica Sapanja says, Why is Worski's channel tanking so badly?

01:04:10.000 I don't think they're tanking.

01:04:11.000 I haven't been paying attention so much to the analytics, but I don't.

01:04:16.000 Well, he hasn't really done a stream in a long time.

01:04:18.000 I mean, they brought the Kumite over, but he hasn't been doing.

01:04:21.000 He did his return stream like last Friday and then like nothing.

01:04:24.000 So they just haven't been doing a lot of content, I guess. 0.74

01:04:27.000 Flint Ironstag says, What's the female equivalent of the T-pose? 1.00

01:04:31.000 There is no female equivalent of the T-pose. 0.99

01:04:34.000 You think women are going to be out there gathering arcane energy to T-pose? 1.00

01:04:40.000 Yeah, no chance. 1.00

01:04:42.000 Young Corduroy, new sub, throwing $2 to show my support.

01:04:46.000 Appreciate you, big guy.

01:04:48.000 Let's take a break to take a look at the results from the primaries.

01:04:54.000 Because it's 8-10, and we're going to get to all the stream labs, but I want to pull up.

01:04:59.000 We'll do a little screen capture and I'll show you what's going on because I did promise we would get to that at a certain point.

01:05:05.000 So let me pull it up on the stream right now and let me, what would we do?

01:05:08.000 A display capture here?

01:05:11.000 And we'll take a look.

01:05:13.000 Sorry to interrupt.

01:05:14.000 I know we were having a great time with the super test.

01:05:16.000 We'll get to all of them.

01:05:17.000 I'm like sweating.

01:05:18.000 Are you kidding me?

01:05:20.000 I got the space heater up.

01:05:21.000 It's like 100 degrees.

01:05:22.000 I like it, but I like it that way, okay?

01:05:24.000 I like it that way.

01:05:26.000 People are like, no, why do you have it like that down there?

01:05:29.000 It's so hot in there.

01:05:31.000 I like it that way, okay?

01:05:32.000 I'm Mexican, right?

01:05:34.000 I'm used to the equatorial climate.

01:05:36.000 All right.

01:05:37.000 Let's take a look.

01:05:40.000 So, let's see what's going on in the primaries here.

01:05:44.000 And we're pulling it up.

01:05:45.000 We'll look at some of the most important ones here, which are.

01:05:49.000 This is Pennsylvania we're looking at right now.

01:05:51.000 So, most important ones we're looking at are District 7 and District 8.

01:05:55.000 And so, it looks like pretty sad turnout so far.

01:05:59.000 I don't know.

01:06:00.000 It's kind of hard to tell.

01:06:01.000 Maybe we'll have to check in after we do a lot of Streamlabs and Super Chats because.

01:06:06.000 What do we have?

01:06:06.000 Like a thousand votes in so far with only 6% reporting.

01:06:10.000 So, maybe we'll check in later.

01:06:11.000 But looking like, you know, these people are really kind of.

01:06:15.000 The point is to look more at the numbers than it is to look at the names, at least for this one.

01:06:22.000 And then we'll flip over.

01:06:23.000 We'll look at the Nebraska primary.

01:06:24.000 We'll see what's going on.

01:06:25.000 District 2 is the most competitive district right now, at least for Republicans and Democrats.

01:06:31.000 And it looks like they've got a real challenge here.

01:06:33.000 Now, the problem here is that the Democrats are running Brad Ashford.

01:06:39.000 Democrats won this seat in 2014.

01:06:42.000 This district was won by Barack Obama.

01:06:45.000 In 2012, I believe, and 2008 as well.

01:06:49.000 I'm not sure, but he did win it.

01:06:51.000 And then in 2014, the Democrats picked it up with Brad Ashford.

01:06:55.000 He served one term and then he got out in 2016.

01:06:59.000 They're running him again and they're hoping that he's going to win.

01:07:01.000 The problem is now you have Kara Eastman.

01:07:03.000 She's running in the Democratic primary and she's running this super progressive anti Bernie platform. 0.82

01:07:10.000 She's running this platform that's explicitly part of the hashtag resistance, anti Trump, healthcare for all, this ridiculous kind of stuff.

01:07:20.000 And it looks like it's very competitive, which this is something that I talked a lot about after the Texas primaries.

01:07:26.000 Because for the Texas Senate seat, we talked about how Ted Cruz got like 80% of the vote in his primary, and his challenger only got 60% because there was some Hispanic candidate.

01:07:36.000 And there was another race in Texas where this progressive was really doing a lot of damage to the establishment candidate.

01:07:42.000 And this is something I talked about a couple of months ago that you're going to see maybe this blue wave get stifled a little bit by the difference between these two camps the pragmatists.

01:07:53.000 Or the, I guess they'd be the pragmatists and the progressives.

01:07:57.000 The establishment, which would be Ashford versus the progressives.

01:08:00.000 And the challenge here is twofold.

01:08:03.000 Number one is that if the progressives lose, do they turn out for the establishment?

01:08:08.000 Do they even go away?

01:08:09.000 Maybe they run an independent campaign.

01:08:12.000 At the end of the day, what that'll do is it'll take away from the Democratic votes, of course.

01:08:16.000 The other problem is if the progressives win, are they able to carry swing districts?

01:08:22.000 This is in Nebraska.

01:08:24.000 This is not like New York City.

01:08:25.000 This is not Pennsylvania.

01:08:27.000 This is Heartland.

01:08:28.000 This is a district that Trump won by 10 points.

01:08:31.000 Can a progressive that is hashtag resistance win in this kind of a district?

01:08:37.000 Probably not.

01:08:38.000 It'll be a much more difficult battle.

01:08:40.000 And so that's the problem for the Democrats.

01:08:42.000 It's twofold.

01:08:43.000 It's the progressive pragmatists, will they turn out for each other?

01:08:46.000 Will they split the ticket?

01:08:47.000 And then conversely, where the progressives do succeed, are they able to appeal to people down the middle?

01:08:53.000 And it's really a challenge for them because they're going to be competing in states that Trump won.

01:08:58.000 In both the Congress and the Senate, or the House and the Senate, rather, the states that are up for grabs are states like Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Indiana, North Dakota.

01:09:09.000 I mean, these are states that are not Democratic strongholds by any stretch.

01:09:13.000 I mean, Nevada was won by Democrats, but they still do have a strong Republican streak.

01:09:18.000 So I guess we'll be watching Pennsylvania.

01:09:21.000 I'll give one last update before we go off the air, depending on how many votes are reporting.

01:09:26.000 This is not really much to speak of right here.

01:09:29.000 But so that's the primaries.

01:09:30.000 We'll get back and we'll do some more.

01:09:33.000 What am I doing here?

01:09:34.000 We'll get back and do some more of your super chats.

01:09:38.000 So let me take a look.

01:09:39.000 Where do we leave off?

01:09:40.000 Kool Aid, who says, I come for the insightful takes, I stay for the big sips.

01:09:44.000 Let me give you a big sip.

01:09:46.000 I know somebody asked for a rain check for you yesterday.

01:09:52.000 And we'll take a thorough chug, a thorough sip from the big water, which, you know what I like about this?

01:10:01.000 What I like about big water is I fill it up once a day and I'm set until tomorrow.

01:10:07.000 Big water.

01:10:08.000 All 64 ounces of your daily water requirements. 0.85

01:10:08.000 Get yours today. 0.85

01:10:11.000 The globalists don't want you to find out about water.

01:10:15.000 And I found out this the hard way.

01:10:16.000 I had a lot of health problems for a long time because I simply didn't drink water.

01:10:19.000 When I was a kid, when I, you know, I'm a kid now, I'm always a kid at heart.

01:10:23.000 When I was a young kid, I would never drink water.

01:10:27.000 It was Gatorade, it was pop, it was, you know, whatever.

01:10:31.000 And I always had these problems.

01:10:33.000 I had headaches, stomach aches, low blood sugar, all kinds of stuff.

01:10:37.000 And I figured out I'm just not drinking.

01:10:39.000 I thought to myself one day, I had a very bad stomach ache, a bad headache, and I thought, wait a minute, you drink water and it takes the toxins out of your body.

01:10:48.000 It courses through your veins.

01:10:49.000 This is your bodily fluids, your precious bodily fluids.

01:10:52.000 That's what's good for you.

01:10:53.000 I got to drink more water.

01:10:54.000 Maybe if I drink more water, I'll be better off.

01:10:56.000 And ever since, it was like the light bulb went out of my head and I found out about it.

01:11:00.000 And ever since, I've been very, very strong health, good energy.

01:11:04.000 And the globalists don't want you to find out about that.

01:11:06.000 They want you to be a fat, kind of like ward of the state where you're like waddling around drinking cola and Mountain Dew.

01:11:13.000 Don't get me wrong, it tastes delicious, but in moderation. 1.00

01:11:18.000 Nick has the perfect optics for Christian Gen Z. 0.99

01:11:18.000 3000. 0.99

01:11:21.000 It's true, I work very hard to be at once hip and edgy and fresh, but at the same time, traditional and Catholic. 0.99

01:11:27.000 And if you do anything wrong, you go to hell.

01:11:29.000 So, Nikki Boo, 32 with another dollar.

01:11:33.000 Much appreciated, big guy. 0.59

01:11:34.000 The Catboys are the best constituency.

01:11:36.000 I'll never, I will never disavow the Catboy.

01:11:40.000 The noble Catboy. 1.00

01:11:41.000 They will serve as the vanguard class while we transition away from thoughts and back to women. 0.97

01:11:47.000 Frederick White, when I read about the suicide rates of whites, it really blackpills me. 0.99

01:11:51.000 Something must be done. 0.64

01:11:52.000 The opioid crises and feminism have been devastating.

01:11:56.000 But of course, these are only symptoms of the broader problem, which is individualism. 0.57

01:12:01.000 Individualism is a cancer. 0.76

01:12:04.000 Worse than a cancer. 0.99

01:12:05.000 It kills people more than cancer, I think.

01:12:08.000 Because the problem with individualism is that maybe the worldview, the epistemology of an individualist is we are all alone.

01:12:16.000 And we are just.

01:12:18.000 Left to our own devices.

01:12:19.000 Go out, figure it out by yourself.

01:12:21.000 You know, there's no family. 1.00

01:12:23.000 Well, at the most fundamental level, there's no harmony between men and women. 1.00

01:12:28.000 There's no family. 0.93

01:12:29.000 There's no men, women, and child.

01:12:31.000 There's no community, which consists of multiple families.

01:12:34.000 There's no region or, you know, any kind of broader sense of identity, which is many communities.

01:12:40.000 There's no sense of nation, which is all the communities in one area.

01:12:44.000 There's no sense of race, which is all the communities in a bigger civilization and in a much larger unit.

01:12:52.000 And all of that has been lost because of individualism.

01:12:54.000 Man is a social and a spiritual creature.

01:12:57.000 You subtract God from the equation, you subtract family from the equation, and all these other concentric circles of identity.

01:13:05.000 And what do you have left?

01:13:06.000 Nothing. 1.00

01:13:07.000 So you have to kill yourself or you have to medicate yourself. 0.84

01:13:10.000 These are the two things that people do, or they're just zombies.

01:13:13.000 These are the three kinds of people we have in the world today.

01:13:16.000 You have zombies who are like, they're just, they're on autopilot.

01:13:19.000 These are the CPUs of the world.

01:13:21.000 You have them.

01:13:22.000 You have people who are drugged up.

01:13:24.000 They're basically like the former category, or you have people that just take the easy way out.

01:13:29.000 You know, and so that's why God, family, this is the ideology.

01:13:34.000 Forget the economic system, forget the immigration policy.

01:13:37.000 Really, forget the immigration policy.

01:13:39.000 Don't get me wrong. 0.99

01:13:39.000 That's important. 0.99

01:13:40.000 But you don't get motivation to change things unless you rebuild the family and you put God back in.

01:13:47.000 Frederick White, when I read about the suicide rates, I just read that one.

01:13:51.000 Salim Fortes, Nick, is it true you are a fan of the Coomtown podcast.

01:13:56.000 I've never listened to that actually.

01:13:58.000 I think you have to pay for it, right?

01:13:59.000 I see their tweets and I'm a fan of their tweets, but I've never listened to it.

01:14:04.000 And we'll take a look.

01:14:05.000 Do we have any more Streamlabs?

01:14:07.000 Let me take a peek.

01:14:11.000 And it's loading up.

01:14:14.000 Looks like we're exhausted of our Streamlabs and Super Chats.

01:14:18.000 I'm getting tired and I'm sweating.

01:14:18.000 That's all right.

01:14:21.000 We'll take one last look and we'll see if there's any update here.

01:14:24.000 And if not, we'll call it a night.

01:14:25.000 Yeah, it doesn't look like any significant amount.

01:14:28.000 It's only about 14% reporting in.

01:14:32.000 So we'll give you an update on the primary races tomorrow.

01:14:35.000 But that's our show.

01:14:36.000 It's been fun all over the place.

01:14:39.000 A lot of different news stories and questions and primaries.

01:14:42.000 So, it's all been a good time.

01:14:43.000 But that's our show for the night.

01:15:05.000 What else do they say?

01:15:06.000 A lot of supers. 0.74
