00:00:40.000I'm just going to adjust my volume real quick.
00:00:42.000It looks like I'm a little bit loud here.
00:00:46.000But we're going to jump right into it.
00:00:47.000Obviously, we know what we're talking about tonight, we know what the subject is, and we'll get into everything that it entails.
00:00:53.000But first, the latest details about the shooting.
00:00:57.000And folks, I was watching it all night last night.
00:00:59.000I was up until 4 30, 5 30 a.m. watching all the details unfold.
00:01:07.000For everybody that was watching it as it happened live, very confusing, very confusing night.
00:01:12.000First, we were hearing reports of the Mandalay Hotel shooting, which that turned out to be the only confirmed event.
00:01:20.000But then we heard about explosions and shootings in just about every hotel on the Strip.
00:01:25.000We were hearing reports, unconfirmed and obviously now false reports, about shootings and explosions at the Excalibur, at the New York, New York, at the Tropicana, at many other hotels.
00:01:39.000We're hearing reports of multiple shooters at Mandalay Bay Hotel and many other things that just turned out to be flat out false.
00:01:46.000So, obviously, a very confusing night, but so far we have all the details right now, or most of them, rather.
00:01:54.000And so, as of right now, we have 59 confirmed dead, 527 injured, and that was when a shooter, which turned out to be Stephen Paddock, he is the shooter that killed himself, he opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel.
00:02:11.000Toward an open air music festival across the street, and that was a country music concert.
00:02:18.000The shooter was ID'd as 64 year old Nevada resident Stephen Paddock, a multimillionaire real estate investor.
00:02:26.000And if you saw any of the interviews today, they interviewed the person who he bought his guns from.
00:02:32.000He bought a shotgun from a gun dealer.
00:02:34.000They were interviewing him, said he looked like a normal guy, one of the regulars that just comes in and purchases firearms.
00:02:41.000They talked to his brother, who looked just as shocked as everyone else.
00:02:46.000And I was surprised that this happened.
00:02:48.000I guess everybody who's been interviewed said this was, by all appearances, a pretty normal guy, pretty regular, well mannered sort of a guy.
00:02:58.000He killed himself as police breached his hotel room as they stormed in.
00:03:06.000And I don't know if it was revealed what types of guns.
00:03:09.000People were speculating these were light machine guns.
00:03:13.000I think I heard reports that it was an AR 15 that was illegally modified to be a fully automatic weapon.
00:03:19.000AR 15s that are sold to civilians are sold semi automatic.
00:03:24.000Automatic rifles are illegal in the country, everywhere in the country.
00:03:28.000So he illegally modded a semi automatic, legal AR 15 into an automatic weapon that shoots.
00:03:35.000Obviously, you hold the trigger and it shoots multiple rounds.
00:03:38.000And you know, you hear that on the news whenever there's one of these shootings, you always have the specialist come on to say, Well, you know, Barbara, the automatic is this and the semi automatic is that.
00:03:48.000And surprisingly, this is another surprise.
00:03:51.000People were saying this was a Muslim first.
00:03:53.000Everyone speculated, of course, with this kind of coordination, with this kind of planning, this kind of attack, it looked like radical Islam.
00:04:02.000And of course, yesterday we saw an attack in Marseille in France, and we saw another attack in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada.
00:04:09.000So people, I think, assumed a little bit too early that it was an Islamic terrorist attack.
00:04:15.000When we found out it was just some 64 year old boomer white guy who lived in Nevada, people were like, okay, this is either a crazy person or.
00:04:28.000But then ISIS claimed four separate times.
00:04:31.000They quadrupled down on their claim that Stephen Paddock converted to Islam earlier this year.
00:04:39.000And this was an ISIS attack, even though there's no intelligence.
00:04:43.000The FBI says there's no connection, the Las Vegas police says there's no connection.
00:04:48.000So we don't really know what to make of this right now.
00:04:51.000Nobody really understands what happened.
00:04:55.000And, you know, everybody's so quick to speculate and just.
00:04:59.000How sick of a country do we live in that you have 59 people are dead, 527 are injured?
00:05:08.000This is a tremendous loss of life, and you might have heard already this is the first or the worst shooting in American history, the worst mass shooting in American history.
00:05:23.000Number two was only, I think, one or two years ago, the Pulse nightclub shooting where they had 49, and then before that was Virginia Tech not too long ago.
00:05:34.000And so you have this tremendous loss of life, many people injured, hundreds of people injured, 59 so far confirmed dead.
00:05:41.000That number will probably rise, I'm guessing, by the end of the week.
00:05:46.000And before it's even resolved, before we even know what even happened last night, when there's reports that the whole city's on fire and there's explosions and shootings, people are already kicking it around like a political football that it's whites, it's Muslims, it's other things.
00:06:05.000I think the prevailing takeaway is that we live in a ridiculous country.
00:06:10.000We live in an absurd, ridiculous, dreadful country, not only where you have senseless violence seemingly every week now, depending on what country you're looking at in broad Western civilization, whether it's knife attacks in France or shootings in Canada or mass shootings in Vegas.
00:06:30.000Every week, almost every day now, you can count on a senseless act of violence.
00:06:35.000Directed against women, children, innocent men, even.
00:06:38.000You know, we always leave them out of the equation, but certainly innocent men as well.
00:06:42.000Enjoying a concert, enjoying a vacation, and certainly there's some rich people in there.
00:06:48.000And I know people sometimes they have a little bit less sympathy when it's the rich, but I mean, certainly there's people that are there just on their vacation, just enjoying a beautiful night out on the Las Vegas Strip, listening to music, winding down a country music tour, and they get light machine gun fire on them.
00:07:07.000And before their bodies even hit the ground, we're hearing about politics.
00:07:11.000We're hearing about Islam and whites and race war.
00:07:17.000I understand where people are coming from.
00:07:19.000But I think it's time, every time we see something like this, to take a step back and realize what kind of country are we bringing children into when this happens?
00:08:59.000But what I can't countenance, what I can't wrap my head around, what really makes me sick to my stomach as I see this young Mexican Republican on Twitter.
00:09:13.000I think his name is like Angelo Ramirez or something.
00:09:16.000He ran for mayor in Henderson County in Las Vegas.
00:09:21.000I think he met President Trump during the campaign.
00:09:23.000He was one of these token minority mouthpieces for Donald Trump during the campaign.
00:10:15.000You know, no, no, it's not about resiliency, it's not about endurance, it's not about any of that.
00:10:25.000You're taking advantage of a horrible tragedy so that you can grandstand and deliver people, wow, you know, the Christ pill, wow, everything's fine.
00:10:42.000And we talk about this on the show every week and on Nationalist Review and in every interview that I'm on.
00:10:49.000We can talk about race, we can talk about immigration, we can talk about the ancillary stuff, but the core of it, Is that we have a broken civilization.
00:11:18.000But about 150 years ago, it has been a steady decline ever since.
00:11:23.000And again, it's not political stuff, it's not policy, it's not legislation, it's something in the soul, it's something in the spirit.
00:11:31.000And this is where someone like Ted Kaczynski can be sort of a prophet, where some of these writers like Evola can be a little bit more prophetic in explaining and diagnosing what the problem is here, which is something so much deeper that someone would go up to the 32nd floor of a hotel and just open fire on people, and that's bad enough.
00:11:54.000You know, you're going to have senseless violence, I think, in every society to some extent.
00:11:59.000It's more frequent, that's part of the problem, but then people are just numb.
00:12:11.000Is it going to support our narrative or their narrative?
00:12:13.000And I know this is all trite and everything, but we have to look at the gravity of the situation that we live in an absurd, surreal, dreadful, nihilistic society.
00:12:24.000And it's not going to be fixed by changing immigration, it's not going to be fixed by winning an election or passing a law.
00:12:31.000It's certainly not going to get better.
00:12:34.000When you're going to put on your little suit and hang up your American flag and pretend like this is your breakout moment as a politician.
00:12:42.000Wow, but you know, Angela Ramirez really, really showed us the bright side of things, you know?
00:12:47.000If we read this one Bible verse, we can pretend that everything's okay.
00:12:51.000We can pretend that the young people aren't killing themselves or abusing drugs or shooting up schools.
00:12:58.000And the women aren't promiscuous, degenerate hedonists or putting themselves out and don't love themselves.
00:13:31.000When you see that last night on top of the terrorism, on top of, I saw an article today about the record amount of STDs.
00:13:40.000I saw an article about the record amount of drug addiction and drug abuse.
00:13:45.000And if you think it's like gun control is going to fix it, if we do get political for a moment, if you think that gun control is going to fix it or drug laws, drug legalization is going to fix it, it's always, you know, if we pass this law, we'll fix the problem.
00:14:01.000If we pass this law, if we give this speech, it's time to really unite the country, you know, shut the hell up.
00:14:36.000But he wrote a long manifesto about how the industrial world was destroying humanity, destroying Western civilization in particular.
00:14:45.000And we talked about this on Nationalist Review, me and James.
00:14:48.000He said that fundamentally, you can boil a human life down, the human experience down to goal setting and goal achieving.
00:14:56.000That when you wake up in the morning, the way or the reason that you get out of bed and you want to eat food and maintain all of this is so that you can set goals and then you can achieve them.
00:15:08.000And he broke down goal setting into three distinct categories you have short term goals, intermediate goals, and long term goals.
00:15:48.000In pre industrial times, that would be like building a home, that would be like the survival of a community, the survival of a household.
00:15:56.000The intermediate goals would be the things that you work for on a one or a five or a ten year interval that you see progress on.
00:16:03.000And you can set those goals and you can achieve them.
00:16:06.000And he said that basically, Ted Kaczynski said that basically the industrial world has eliminated that middle category, which he called meaningful work.
00:16:15.000And it's subtracted meaningful work from our lives, and now we have these impossible goals that you can never get to.
00:16:23.000The I want to be a millionaire, I want to be an NBA player, I want to be a rap star, and the simple tasks.
00:16:29.000Which are going to work every day and toiling endlessly for nothing.
00:16:34.000And there's no intermediate range goal that'll really give your life any meaning.
00:16:38.000And so then he set out on his campaign, which I don't agree with.
00:17:02.000And I think we have to start thinking like that.
00:17:04.000Not in terms of the tactics, obviously, but we have to start thinking in terms of things that are much more systemic, things that are much more intrinsic to our experience in the 21st century if we're going to fix this.
00:17:32.000I mean, there are really a lot of tools at our disposal.
00:17:35.000To mitigate terrorism, to mitigate these problems, but we understand at the end of the day, and certainly at the end of a night like last night, that these are only externalities.
00:17:46.000These are only the symptoms of a much deeper, more underlying problem.
00:17:51.000Terrorism is what you get when you don't have people taking care of people like Stephen Paddock.
00:17:57.000Terrorism is what you get when you have a government, an elite, that lets in people that harm our own citizens.
00:18:04.000So at the end of the day, you can look at You know, even if it was Islamic terror, even if it's an Islamic terror attack like in Edmonton or in Marseille, sure, I mean, we can ban all Muslims, and that might do us some good.
00:18:18.000That would do a lot of things in the way of reducing the amount of Islamic terrorism.
00:18:23.000You can expel all the Muslims in the country.
00:18:38.000It's not just an accident that this happens.
00:18:41.000Inside of our government, people ignored the data, ignored the bloodshed, ignored the atrocities, and they said, let them come here anyway.
00:19:56.000If he ever ended up in a mental facility, nobody took the responsibility and said, We have to keep this guy locked up because he's dangerous.
00:20:06.000That was some Asian guy who didn't have any friends, who we didn't have, you know, his teachers all saw the warning signs that he was isolated.
00:20:42.000Well, I mean, maybe you would if you rethought an immigration policy that was communal, that was serving the public good, that was responsible.
00:20:51.000But that is the heart of the issue I think it's the fundamental abdication of responsibility.
00:21:09.000And you can bring up legislation, you can bring up politics, whether it's a Muslim or an Asian or a white person, whatever the motive is, now is the time for people to really do some soul searching and look into their own lives where they can see this.
00:21:25.000Because everybody sees this going on in their lives, everybody understands.
00:21:29.000What I'm talking about when I say there's something very wrong going on.
00:21:44.000Nick, do you really think all of this is happening?
00:21:46.000And I can think of every person, almost every person, with few exceptions, down to a man who has this going on in their lives.
00:21:57.000In some way, shape, or form, there is something very wrong, there is something very broken.
00:22:03.000And you can chalk it up to whatever you want to call it, whether it's hookup culture, safe space culture, drug culture, self medicating, mental illness, and on and on and on.
00:22:15.000But there is a common root to all of it.
00:22:18.000There is a common root to all of it, and there's no meaning in our lives anymore.
00:22:39.000But there's no reason for people to be alive anymore.
00:22:42.000We've moved past that in the 21st century.
00:22:45.000When you have the internet, when you have late stage capitalism, when you have all the material wealth you could want in Western countries, there's really no reason to bear the cross anymore.
00:22:55.000There's no reason to sacrifice anymore.
00:22:58.000And I'm not saying that objectively there is no reason, but for young people, for the vast majority of mainstream people, when every meaningful thing that we had has been subtracted from our culture, They are searching for that other thing.
00:23:44.000Intimate sexual relationship that you can have because, of course, you have degenerate promiscuity and hedonism and all of that.
00:23:52.000You have no real community with your friends because, of course, there's nothing that binds you together except for a common interest in sports, a common interest in a hobby or a craft.
00:24:03.000And maybe you find some meaning in that, but maybe then you disagree about politics.
00:24:09.000Or you all spread out after you graduate from high school and you're all in different states, and then you have to adjust in your relocation.
00:24:17.000And then you're saddled with enormous college debt.
00:24:20.000You got tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and you don't really know what you want to do with your life.
00:24:26.000Lord knows there are very few options available to you that will provide you with enough money to pay for a house or pay for the lifestyle you want or even to pay back those college loans.
00:24:36.000You look at few jobs where people can comfortably afford a house and a family in this day and age, and that requires how many more years of school and pressure?
00:24:44.000And then you get out of college, and the search is on.
00:26:25.000So then you're in retirement and you're trying to make it.
00:26:28.000Social Security, that's going to run out very soon.
00:26:31.000So, even like my parents probably won't see it.
00:26:34.000So, we're going to have to figure something out.
00:26:37.000Not exactly in physical or mental shape to go back and work on the factory line.
00:26:43.000Even if you could, they're not going to be able to pay you very much because you're competing with Vietnamese children who work for cents on the dollar.
00:27:30.000And maybe, maybe people would be able to weather that if they had religion, if they had family in a meaningful sense, if they had community in a meaningful sense, if they had patriotism in a meaningful sense.
00:27:47.000But you take all that away, and why do we do it?
00:27:52.000When I say on Nationalist Review that if you don't believe in God, like you should probably just, I don't know, it would be logical to drive 100 miles an hour into a brick wall.
00:28:02.000I don't say that to be edgy or shocking.
00:28:04.000I say it because so much of our society, so much of the propaganda today is constructed to make people feel good, to inject people with, literally, to inject people with dopamine.
00:28:18.000So that they don't do crazy things, so that they don't do things to prove to themselves that they're not just piano keys.
00:28:25.000You know, they get you hooked on an app, on a cool mobile game where you play Candy Crush and you eliminate a row of candy and a big, you know, wow, points and a bright light goes off and you go, wow, okay, I don't have to focus on all this other stuff for a minute.
00:28:41.000You know, you watch television and it's, whoa, Coca Cola.
00:28:45.000You give a little love and it all comes back to you and wow, life is good.
00:28:52.000You drink sugar water and you walk down the street and there's music and TV and hey, life isn't so bad.
00:29:00.000And you listen to music and it's a cool beat.
00:29:05.000And we're listening to Britney Spears and it's party and wow, the human experience is great and let's just get drunk and have sex and nothing wrong with that.
00:29:17.000I'm going to be an effing degenerate because only the good die young.
00:29:20.000All the cool people are in hell, right?
00:29:23.000And so everything in propaganda is sort of constructed to make you feel like we're okay, it's not so bad.
00:29:31.000But then when you're in bed, then when you're in bed and you have to pound back the sleeping medication because there's nowhere to run anymore.
00:29:41.000Because when you're in bed and it's 1 a.m. and the lights are off and you have to put the phone down and you're confronted with the deepest, darkest aspects of your life, suddenly Coca Cola, not going to cut it.
00:29:58.000And then you have all those sleepless nights.
00:30:01.000And again, if I'm blackpilling you, I'm blackpilling you for a reason.
00:30:05.000Hopefully, we can achieve some catharsis together on this program if we're to articulate and lay out very plain the problems.
00:30:17.000You know, people don't go out and shoot because they played a violent video game, they go out and shoot because of all of this, because they look at the machine in front of them that's consuming them and taking away from them every day.
00:30:29.000And they say, I don't want to be a part of that.
00:30:32.000I don't want to just be roadkill at the mercy of this machine.
00:30:42.000I'm going to take my life into my own hands.
00:30:45.000They say, look at these anti heroes on television, whether it's Muslims who see their fellow people in Iraq and Syria, or it's white students who see Tim and Eric and they go, wow, you know, these are people.
00:31:00.000And we have to understand that that's.
00:31:02.000That is the pathology that produces these things.
00:31:06.000And when people react without caring, that's the same pathology why we don't care when 500 people are mowed down.
00:31:16.000And like I said, maybe all of this is okay.
00:31:25.000It can't work if there's not a reason.
00:31:27.000People are willing to suffer to no end.
00:31:31.000That's what we're here to do, to suffer, to bear a cross.
00:31:35.000People have a tremendous capacity for that.
00:31:39.000If there's something in front of them, if there's meaningful work ahead, and there's work and it's meaningful that they're doing it for.
00:31:48.000You know, if you're doing all of this for Christ, if you're doing all of this for a very powerful religious experience, that is, you go into a church on Sunday, you go into a cathedral on Sunday, and I'm talking about maybe 200 years ago, and the incense is burning and the Gregorian chants.
00:32:09.000Are loud in your ears, and you look up at the beautiful art and architecture, and you're there with your family, you're there with your spouse, and your children, and your neighbors, and people you love, and you're there.
00:32:22.000A priest who is ethical and knows the doctrine is there, you know, chanting and giving you the liturgy in Latin in an ancient language, and you're connected at once to everyone in this temporal world at this moment, and everyone that came before, and everyone in the future.
00:32:39.000Hopefully, if you've been a good steward.
00:32:43.000Maybe it's worth it being a serf or a peasant.
00:32:46.000Maybe it's worth it living subsistence agriculture your whole life because when you go to the church on Sunday, you know that this is all transient.
00:32:55.000This is all just temporary and it's worth it to do it now because maybe there's an afterlife and even if there's not, you know, we're doing it for something.
00:33:06.000And then even if you look at a fascist country, even if you look at a communist country, maybe you're like the poorest proletariat in Moscow.
00:34:24.000Until we can address that in a meaningful way, until the vast majority of people, or even intellectuals, even intellectuals in academia are willing to address that and give us an answer, sorry, folks, not getting better.
00:34:44.000And if we can go back full circle to our buddy Angelo Ramirez, who gets on Twitter live with his little video to tell us, you know, light overcomes darkness.
00:35:15.000He's turned it into a colorful mask that he can put on, a substitute for the real thing so that he can launch himself forward in this sick world so he can climb, you know, he can grab you by the head and shove you down so he can get a little bit higher.
00:35:35.000I mean, isn't that what our world is today?
00:35:37.000This picture of quite literally a living hell where we're all here burning, suffering in our own way, trying to climb on top of each other, at least trying to get a little bit ahead of it, trying to get away so the flames aren't licking up against us.
00:37:00.000Because if you don't talk about this, if you don't experience this willingly every day, if you don't try and exercise this every day, You are not treating the problem.
00:37:13.000You know, you're diagnosing and then treating the wrong problem, and thus the problem persists.
00:37:18.000So that's why we have to be sober about it.
00:37:24.000Maybe it doesn't do well for the ratings.
00:37:26.000Fox News does better than me for good reason.
00:37:30.000Maybe it's also because they got, you know, money and they've been around and all that, but also because some of these other YouTube shows or whatever, they try and give you that, you know, woo, it's great, you know, like and subscribe and buy merch and.
00:37:47.000You have to have the negatives so you can have the positives.
00:37:51.000You have to have the valley so you can have the hills.
00:37:54.000But if I can supply you with a little bit of a white pill, if I can give you some, now that we've gone to hell and we're there, if I can get you back on the right page, get you fighting another day, because this is something me and Stefan Molyneux talked about this.
00:38:11.000Stefan basically asked me this question in June when I was on his show.
00:38:16.000And he said, How do we avoid nihilism?
00:38:18.000How do we destroy everything in our world around us, destroy all these illusions for people, and not have them go into this nihilistic state where it's less productive possibly than before?
00:38:32.000And I've been working on this question for a while, but I think it's an understanding.
00:38:37.000It's sort of that Nietzschean quality of overcoming.
00:38:41.000You know, we're in this horrible spot, but that is what should give us, that is what should fill us with conviction, ironically, is we're in this horrible place.
00:38:50.000And what should motivate us is as a society, we have an opportunity to fix it.
00:38:56.000We have an opportunity to save our children.
00:38:59.000We have an opportunity to give our children a great life if we are able to be strong, if we have the will, if we're smart, if we don't give in.
00:39:12.000That's the takeaway here, is that we can understand what we're up against.
00:39:17.000We can understand what a hellish lifestyle this is.
00:39:20.000And now that we've destroyed everything, now that we're not playing not to lose, and we've gotten rid of all the illusions and all the materialistic, consumeristic, Illusions, now we can construct something real and meaningful, and we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
00:39:38.000Because if we've established that there's nothing of meaning that this world has to offer us, then we can extract meaning by saying, let's bring down this sinister, evil order and give birth to something new, give birth to something good and great.
00:40:03.000Now we have nothing left to lose and everything to gain.
00:40:07.000If we do nothing, you know, or we fail spectacularly, well, it marches on, as it would have anyway.
00:40:15.000But if we succeed, if we keep pushing and we go to church and we read old books and we go to the gym and we find a trad wife, not going to be easy, but we find someone who's waiting until marriage and we have a big family, you know, then I think it could be worth it.
00:44:16.000The progressive drive for 400 years has been how can we make relationships between people as universal as possible?
00:44:26.000How can we take these natural, beautiful, and functional, most importantly, functional divisions between people and eliminate them so we're all on the same team?
00:44:37.000How can we make it so that we can unify the Iberian Peninsula?
00:44:43.000How can we make it so that we can unify this kingdom and then we can unify this into a nation state?
00:44:48.000And then we can unify this continent into a common market.
00:44:51.000And then we can unify it into a confederacy or a super state.
00:44:56.000And then we can draw that super state into a global government, an IGO, International Government Organization, the United Nations or the World Bank or the IMF.
00:45:07.000And then, you know, we'll, I don't know, we'll have world government and we'll all submit to the hand of the state.
00:45:47.000This is what happens when instead of acknowledging our limitations as human beings, And optimizing them, you try to exceed them and fail miserably.
00:46:45.000Americans, in particular, the culture is one of independence, self reliance, civic institutions, which are church, commerce to an extent, and all of that.
00:46:57.000So, when people make a joke about the Constitution or they talk about fascism, the culture of America, what would work and supply meaning for the lives of Americans is something uniquely American, which is leave us alone.
00:47:10.000Let us have novel, unique communities.
00:47:14.000You know, I was thinking about this today.
00:47:16.000The internet has taken everything good from us in the sense that it used to be that you could go on a road trip.
00:47:23.000You could go down Route 66, and wow, the adventures you would have.
00:47:28.000You could go to a dive bar in, like, I don't know, in the West.
00:47:35.000I don't know what's along Route 66, but you could go someplace that would have regional character, regional culture that only the locals knew about.
00:47:56.000And you could go to California and you could experience the West Coast stuff.
00:48:00.000Now they want to make everything the same.
00:48:03.000They want to make everything the same.
00:48:05.000They want to make it McDonald's in Chicago look just like the McDonald's in Las Vegas and just like the McDonald's in Seattle and just like in New York and just like in Houston and Dallas and Birmingham and everywhere else and Delhi.
00:48:22.000And so you've taken all these beautiful, decentralized differences, particularly in America, and you've just collapsed them into this cosmopolitan, rootless identity that nobody likes.
00:48:37.000And that's really what drove me away from the libertarians.
00:48:40.000They have this weird stuff about, like, Taco Bell is a chapel.
00:49:27.000My senior year, I was failing like two different classes.
00:49:31.000I was like, I just can't take it anymore.
00:49:33.000I'm reading about things that are important and going on, and they want me to read, you know, feminist liberation theology and comment on like why white men should kill themselves.
00:49:59.000I'm trying to break that, but I guess you just have to do it.
00:50:04.000You know, I'm in no place to advise anybody on lifestyle because I'm still figuring out my life.
00:50:09.000But you're going to have to, I think you're going to have to answer to yourself in 50 years.
00:50:15.000That doesn't mean don't take advice from like your parents and things like that, but it means that you own all of your decisions.
00:50:21.000So, if like in 30 years you look back and you say, I have all these regrets, you know, I did everything my parents told me to, and even though I intuitively thought something else, that's on you.
00:50:33.000And maybe you'll say in 30 years, like, well, but if I went off on my own, it would have been a disaster.
00:51:03.000Maybe they went in believing different things, but they all came out believing the same things.
00:51:07.000You know, you think it's a coincidence that high school gym teachers and high school, like home ec teachers, have to have master's degrees?
00:51:16.000Essentially, they had to have four years of expensive indoctrination.
00:53:30.000When we talked about the European Union and comparative government, They call this problem the democracy deficit.
00:53:37.000Essentially, if you understand anything about the European Union, in no way, shape, or form is this governing body democratic or even remotely liberal.
00:53:45.000It works that the European Commission writes all the laws and the European Congress just votes on them.
00:53:52.000The legislative body is merely a rubber stamp institution for the bills that are put forth by the European Commission, which is chosen by unelected representatives from member states.
00:54:24.000It's just a big satire that you have Merkel, oh, she's the leader of the free world.
00:54:28.000And wow, Europe is this liberal and they're the leaders of the free world.
00:54:32.000And if you try to break away from a corrupt, technocratic, socialist country beholden to a supranational organization run by an international, rootless elite that hates Europeans, we're going to smash your ballot boxes.
00:54:46.000We're going to smash your forehead with a.
00:56:47.000They're not engaging in the degenerate partying that people know them for.
00:56:51.000If you understand, like young people, some of them are like the newer ones, or rather the older ones, are more like millennials, but the younger ones are not like these.
00:57:03.000Some of them are certainly, and you see that on social media.
00:57:06.000But I have a feeling, it's my instinct that the majority of them, they're not, and the statistics also support this, they're not having as much sex as even boomers.
00:57:16.000They're not partying as much as millennials.
00:58:55.000Hey, everybody should stop being degenerate.
00:58:58.000Everybody should stop being degenerate and go to work and be responsible and be communal.
00:59:04.000And these are people that work like doing podcasts.
00:59:07.000And, you know, look, I'm not saying that that movement wasn't necessary, but if we're going to actualize, if we're going to make this a political reality, have to fix the optics, have to fix the message, have to fix our group here.
00:59:22.000So that it's viable for political action.
00:59:52.000Getting a message out there to young people in particular about what's going on that isn't lies, that isn't like this popcorn light, like nothing.
01:00:02.000Miley Yiannopoulos did a lot of good, but he also did a lot of harm.
01:00:07.000He brought a lot of people into the fold, but he brought them in with this very cheap, sensational, empty message that was like piss off liberals, piss off people who have weird lives.
01:01:24.000A lot of research, a lot of help from buddies.
01:01:27.000American nationalist, you said last night you wouldn't annex Canada as president, but if the provinces legally seceded and wanted to join us, would you let them?
01:04:05.000He says an American is not a white nationalist.
01:04:08.000Yeah, but if you read the Naturalization Act of 1790, 1795, and 1798, If you read the Immigration Law of 1802, if you read Federalist No. 2 by John Jay, if you read the preamble of the Constitution, if you read some of the letters between Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, the writings of Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin, and on and on and on, you understand that this vision of America as the melting pot is a lie or it's based on ignorance.
01:04:37.000So when I say Ben's ass is an idiot and he's wrong, it's because he's not looking at the evidence that is stacked against him.
01:04:44.000You know, Cabot Phillips posts all day long on his Facebook about World War II veterans.
01:04:51.000What a powerful moment when these World War II veterans were on the honor flight.
01:04:55.000Yeah, well, by your logic, Cabot Phillips, you should be getting in all these people's faces and calling them racist white supremacists, like he did to me for saying that interracial marriage is degenerate.
01:08:13.000And when we're ready to strike, you'll have you and your kids to help us put our party into office.
01:08:19.000But until then, You know, everybody's waiting for somebody to tell them what to do.
01:08:23.000I'm waiting to fight for the revolution.
01:08:25.000I'm waiting for a commander to lead me.
01:08:28.000Got to take it into your own hands every day of your life, not always political.
01:08:33.000And then, you know, 20 years' time, you will be far more helpful to a hypothetical PAC or movement or political party when you have your kids, when you have a financial base, when you have a community, wherever you are.
01:08:47.000You know, all these people want to become rootless cosmopolitans just like our adversaries.
01:08:54.000So, they can avoid being like upholding it.
01:09:29.000There's only good and evil if you buy, like, this United Nations, everything before 2015 was a mistake mindset, where, you know, if you do an immoral thing by today's standards, you're a bad guy.
01:13:18.000Next time you're in a shopping mall, look to your left, look to your right, and then say, do I want to read books that these people are reading?
01:13:26.000Go into a movie theater, go into, I don't know, like any public space and look around and say, Do I want to read a book that all these people have considered purchasing?
01:17:11.000So, if you have any yacht rock recommendations, if you have any soft rock 70s recommendations, adult contemporary, post those in the comments.
01:19:28.000The problem is, I'm having trouble deciding what should go on because there's a lot of things that need to go on there that should go on there.
01:19:34.000But people get really mad at me if I put them on there.
01:19:37.000You know, there's certain books I'd love to put on there, but people be like, What?
01:19:51.000I don't want to make any commitment because, you know, I don't want to say I'll put it up this week and not put it up this week, but I'll try my best to get it up this week.
01:21:08.000Got to have a trade policy that benefits American workers, puts us on a level playing field or even a beneficial playing field compared to our competitors.
01:21:16.000Tax policy, pro natal tax policy, pro family tax slash economic policy.
01:21:24.000Monetary policy, get rid of the Federal Reserve.
01:22:18.000Because, you know, Charles Murray talks about this problem that all the smart people, all of the meritocratic elite, are going to college, they meet people in college, and then they They go in cities where there's other people that went to college.
01:22:33.000And so you have this massive polarization where all the meritocratic people, all the high IQ people, all the ambitious people are going to college and they're making money, they're getting degrees, they're meeting people from college that are also high IQ.
01:22:50.000And when you don't have this mixing, there's no social mobility, right?
01:22:54.000You don't have that social mobility when you have smart guy is marrying hometown girl.
01:22:59.000If they're all meeting in university and going to live in the city, You're going to have all the GDP coming from the city and none of it coming from everywhere else.
01:23:07.000So these are forces that are beyond the power of a culture comp.
01:24:24.000It's just different crowd, different group of people.
01:24:28.000People that were in high school then are shooting up people now in college or at concerts, and also different attackers, different motives.
01:24:37.000That's really not the important part, the venue.
01:25:07.000No, Sheldon Adelson does not control the GOP.
01:25:11.000Sheldon Adelson is not pushing for war in Iraq and war in Afghanistan and war in Libya and war in Iran and war in Syria and war in Somalia and war in Sudan and war in Lebanon and war in Yemen.
01:25:24.000Who could possibly benefit from all these wars?
01:25:51.000The graduate, I was so close to watching it a long time ago.
01:25:56.000And Harold and Maude, I always thought was dumb.
01:25:58.000All these rom com type movies, just never fancied me very much.
01:26:04.000Which Western do you like more, The Wild Bunch or Once Upon a Time in the West?
01:26:08.000I think I saw Once Upon a Time in the West.
01:26:12.000I've never seen The Wild Bunch, but I saw Once Upon a Time in the West.
01:26:17.000That one, that was long, and I remember thinking it was really, really good, but then I read the reviews and I was like, this is not very good.
01:31:46.000Meta Martin, do we band together and try to maintain order and good, or do we exponentially increase chaos and hope to rise from the ashes?
01:32:00.000If we have order and we maintain order, An ordered movement, I think we have a better shot.
01:32:07.000Chaos is the last result, the last resort that is the most risky, the smallest chance for success, most unpredictable.
01:32:15.000That's why I'm cautious talking about acceleration because there is no guarantee that you will make it, that anyone will make it if there's a war of all against all.
01:33:19.000We have to take back control of the culture because you'll have a magazine and that'll do some good, but you're going up against Hollywood.
01:33:27.000You're going up against commercials, television, teachers, parents in some cases encourage this behavior.
01:33:34.000So you really have to foster, I think, real community on college campuses and schools for this to happen.
01:33:54.000That is the only thing that can overcome the institutional advantage that the propaganda network has the face to face, real, and caring about people.
01:34:42.000So the biggest threat is the institutional forces that are moving in the wrong direction.
01:34:48.000Super Goy Prime, is there a reason you and James Alsub don't incorporate as part of the Gen ID movement, but a U.S. branch with U.S. aesthetics?
01:35:44.000This is people who are in a bubble all their lives and they get this LARPy propaganda fed to them in this echo chamber and they think that that's the best way forward.
01:36:08.000And it's so hard to convince the fringe right.
01:36:12.000So, I mean, that's why we're the reason is to do it any other way has failed and will fail for obvious reasons that are obvious to anybody who's paying attention.
01:36:24.000You know, ask a junior in high school if they can relate more with their older brother who just died in Iraq or Identity Europa or people who are sailing in the Mediterranean sinking refugee boats.
01:36:43.000So we know, not people that have been in Arlington, Virginia for 15 years making podcasts and being on 4chan.
01:36:51.000You know, and look, there was a time and a place for that.
01:36:53.000But if we want to get political, if we want to get beyond that, you can have an international intellectual movement, but a political movement is local.
