00:01:58.000So I'm adjusting the brightness and I have this green halo around my silhouette from the green screen and the chroma key, which is supposed to key out the green.
00:02:10.000So, I'm messing with the brightness settings, and then I'm messing with the contrast, and I'm messing with the filters, and then I'm checking other applications.
00:02:27.000I was pushing all these buttons on my camera while I was trying to fix it earlier, while I was trying to get the input to show up on the monitor.
00:02:35.000And I pressed a button which I speculated.
00:02:45.000I pushed a button that while the studio lights were on, recalibrated the lighting settings on the camera and adjusted and set the bright white lights of the studio as the base as the baseline brightness.
00:03:03.000And so, and so then it was much darker than it was before.
00:03:10.000Because when I calibrated the camera initially when I first got it, I probably did it when the studio lights were off and only the Overhead light was on, the normal light.
00:03:21.000So it was in a much darker setting when I got the camera that I pressed the button and it automatically configured the brightness and the colors.
00:03:30.000And then what had happened since then is when I put the studio lights on, it was much brighter and that's how it was calibrated on the streaming software.
00:03:39.000And so I postulated that when I was pressing all these random buttons on the camera a moment ago while the studio lights were on, it recalibrated and With the white studio lights on.
00:08:06.000We'll also talk tonight about Alex Jones, who is suing the House Select Committee, which is investigating the January 6th riot or what they're calling an insurrection.
00:08:27.000Nancy Pelosi, who is running this select committee, is issuing subpoenas to telecom companies like ATT and asking for the telephone records, cell phone records of everybody who was at the Capitol.
00:09:48.000You put it on your nose and it attaches to the bridge of your nose and has these two little wings that attach to your nostrils and has like this spring effect where the adhesive pulls.
00:14:03.000But that's sort of what it feels like because I'm getting this uncanny feeling that I've gotten from time to time in the course of doing this where, you know, sometimes it feels like you're just, like something is just around the corner and you could taste it and you could feel it and you could smell it and it's there and you're being pulled towards it.
00:14:27.000And I've been feeling that for the past like two weeks.
00:14:31.000And, um, And yeah, so, and it always seems to be the case that whenever that is actualized or begins to be actualized, it's like there's a sort of counterattack in the spiritual realm.
00:14:46.000So, anyway, I don't know if that sounds like crazy, but that's just sort of been my feelings lately, especially with these dreams, because, you know, you can't control your dreams.
00:14:58.000Maybe, though, honestly, it could just be because I've had such a weird sleep schedule.
00:15:02.000You know, typically when I have a weird sleep schedule, And I'm exhausted.
00:15:06.000I have very vivid dreams, so it could just be that.
00:16:24.000So tune into Thursday's show and make sure you're following me on all my social media because we got something big and huge to announce right before Christmas.
00:16:34.000And you're not going to want to miss it.
00:17:59.000I was watching, or I checked Keith Woods' telegram today, and he reposted a friend of his whose name I forget, who's another live streamer.
00:18:11.000And the guy was like, Hey, everybody, sorry I haven't posted on YouTube in a while, but I've got this new podcast with Keith Woods coming out tonight, and I've got another podcast with, who is it?
00:18:38.000I don't have strong feelings about Keith Woods or the other guy.
00:18:41.000But it's like, you know, you're so lucky that you've got somebody who has an eye towards really building a parallel system, which is what I'm doing.
00:18:52.000You know, people tend to forget that I'm just a live streamer.
00:23:00.000And this show, every single night, a regular weeknight, pulls 6,000 live viewers, 10 times more.
00:23:10.000Everything that I just said about Turning Point USA, and they can't get more than 10%, 10% of the audience that I get on an average weeknight.
00:23:22.000Something to remember when you look at our political fortunes, when you look at our future, right?
00:23:30.000Because I was looking at this conference, and it's like, all that.
00:23:35.000Something that's one tenth the size of America first.
00:23:38.000Don't listen when they try to tell you, like in that Twitter space a few weeks ago, oh, the America First movement isn't really that influential.
00:23:48.000That's just why everybody's talking about it, right?
00:23:50.000That's just why it casts a long shadow over everything, seemingly, that goes on in American politics.
00:23:57.000So I saw that and I said, you know what?
00:24:16.000But we're going to dive into the news.
00:24:20.000And we're going to be making a big announcement on Thursday, and we're only going higher and higher.
00:24:25.000So, yeah, our first story is about Alex Jones.
00:24:31.000And if you haven't been following this too closely, there is a subcommittee in the House right now investigating January 6th, and they have subpoenaed a lot of the more influential people that organized the January 6th rally.
00:24:45.000Including many people on the Trump campaign, many people who worked in the Trump White House, Women for America First, Stop the Steal, Ali Alexander, many people at Infowars, Steve Bannon.
00:25:21.000And another thing that they're doing is they're now issuing subpoenas to telecom companies.
00:25:26.000And this House Select Committee is going to ATT and Verizon and other major cell companies and asking them for all the phone records of all the people that were there on January 6th, which is a major violation of our civil rights.
00:25:42.000So the news today is that Alex Jones, along with some other defendants, including Ali Alexander and some others, are now countersuing and they're suing the committee for violating their constitutional rights.
00:25:54.000So, this is a story from Russia Today.
00:25:57.000It says Alex Jones has sued U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the congressional committee that's investigating last January's U.S. Capitol riot to block the panel from accessing his phone records and forcing him to testify.
00:26:11.000The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington, alleges that Pelosi and the investigative committee that she appointed are trying to suspend constitutional liberties in coercive secret proceedings.
00:26:24.000Specifically designed to satiate a political witch hunt.
00:26:29.000The committee subpoenaed Jones in November, demanding documents related to his role in organizing an election fraud protest that escalated into the Capitol riot, according to the lawsuit.
00:26:39.000The panel also ignored the radio host's constitutional objections, insisting that he testify in Washington on January 10th, and it sought to obtain his phone records through ATT.
00:26:51.000The lawsuit said The select committee's members have made it abundantly clear that they are only interested in prosecuting.
00:26:58.000Political adversaries, adding that Jones was put in the quote unconscionable position of facing imprisonment if he exercises his constitutional rights.
00:27:09.000Jones claimed that the committee is violating his First Amendment rights as a journalist, his Fourth Amendment right of privacy in his papers, and his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination.
00:27:20.000The lawsuit noted that committee chairman U.S. Representative Benny Thompson showed his disregard for those protections when he suggested in an MSNBC interview earlier this month.
00:27:30.000Then invoking the Fifth Amendment may show that a witness is, quote, part and parcel guilty to what occurred.
00:27:42.000Because, very much like the Charlottesville slap lawsuit that we saw earlier this year, this entire investigation and the involvement of the DOJ and the FBI and how they're handling this whole thing,
00:27:59.000it's about setting a precedent, which is to say that if If they're allowed to get away with what they're doing, which is virtually unprecedented, unlimited power to target their political adversaries, then this now, in essence, becomes lawful.
00:28:17.000And so, anytime in the future that a party, which will probably be the Democrats, has control of Congress, all they have to do is appoint a committee and they can target and destroy anybody they want.
00:28:31.000The FBI could do that, the DOJ could do that, Congress now has these abilities.
00:28:36.000Where all they need is for a committee to be appointed by the majority, you know, the party that's in power, and then they're going to be able to see whoever's phone records they want, compel anybody to testify on anything before Congress, and if they don't, they're going to charge them with obstruction.
00:28:54.000If they do, they could charge them with perjury.
00:28:57.000They could incriminate themselves, which is violating their Fifth Amendment rights.
00:29:00.000If they do incriminate themselves, then they go to jail.
00:29:04.000If they don't incriminate themselves, they get charged with obstruction.
00:29:08.000Now, meanwhile, throughout all of this, any normal person has to pay lawyers.
00:29:15.000Because, of course, if you're under investigation by the FBI and the DOJ, and if you're compelled to testify before Congress, you need to hire a lawyer, or else you could very easily fall into trouble without legal expertise.
00:29:30.000And so, even if you make it through this gauntlet of political persecution, which is now apparently just legal and arbitrary, All along the way, you're paying tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
00:29:45.000I know, oh my gosh, I know because this is what's happened to me.
00:29:52.000Over the course of this year, I've easily paid more than $100,000 in legal fees, and I haven't even been charged with anything yet.
00:30:00.000I paid more than $100,000 in legal fees between looking into defamation, looking into my position on the no fly list.
00:30:09.000Retaining counsel because I'm under FBI investigation and because they seize my assets.
00:30:15.000And so I'm somebody, bear in mind, that has not been charged, has not been subpoenaed, has not been raided, none of that.
00:30:24.000But just in the span of 11 months, nearly 12, I spent easily over $100,000 on lawyers.
00:30:49.000And so I can rely on people to sort of back me up and help me through things like this.
00:30:54.000But going back to what I said earlier, it's not about me or Alex Jones or others where this is our job, this is our business.
00:31:01.000As a matter of fact, all this very well may backfire because when all is said and done, we'll have spent a lot of money on legal fees and maybe we won't get charged, but it'll amount in a lot of publicity.
00:31:11.000It'll elevate all of our status in the country.
00:31:17.000It's about the people that this will happen to in the future.
00:31:21.000Which is to say, once this precedent is established, like I said, the DOJ, FBI, and Congress can arbitrarily go after anybody for anything.
00:31:31.000And so, what happens if they decide to go after anybody that was at the Capitol?
00:31:36.000Anybody that was in the building, anybody around the building, anybody that was in the city.
00:32:02.000It's about normalizing and legalizing the sort of arbitrary exercise of federal law enforcement power.
00:32:10.000And what this does is it gives the left and the Democrats the ability to annihilate anyone that they want.
00:32:18.000So they could go after a politician, they could go after an activist, they could go after anybody for anything.
00:32:23.000You better hope that you don't wind up at a rally.
00:32:27.000That Congress under the Democrats takes interest in.
00:32:30.000You better hope you're not in a group, you're not in a group chat, that you never put in a search query on Google, that you didn't watch something, that you didn't say something that the FBI takes interest in, because then they could do this to you.
00:32:46.000And a lot of people don't really understand that because it hasn't happened to them and it isn't talked about in the media.
00:32:51.000And so we hear these names like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone and Alex Jones, but these are people whose lives have just been turned completely upside down by the government.
00:33:05.000And all the attendees at Charlottesville, the Rise Above movement, the Proud Boys.
00:33:10.000The list goes on and on of people that really didn't commit a crime or were innocent, but in spite of that have had their lives completely leveled, turned upside down because of public pressure and arbitrary political persecution.
00:34:00.000Forget about taxes, forget about, oh, taxes and the media is not fair.
00:34:06.000They can use all the power of the government and big tech and the banks and all of it and focus it in on one point, lasered in on one person and just like dematerialize them, just totally, you know, disassemble them at the atomic level.
00:34:23.000That's what they could do now to anybody they want, whenever they want.
00:34:28.000And the response to that has to be a little bit more serious than, we're going to cut your taxes, or we just have to run another candidate.
00:34:36.000We should just build our own, or, you know, stuff like this.
00:34:41.000We have to take this power from them and then we have to turn it around and annihilate them in the same way.
00:34:47.000You know, like that was Donald Trump's biggest mistake he got in office and almost the first thing he did before he even was inaugurated was say that he wasn't actually going to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton and throw her in jail.
00:35:36.000What did the Democrats do when they got in this year?
00:35:39.000They appointed somebody to head the DOJ, and they turned the DOJ and the FBI on all, not just Donald Trump, but on all his supporters.
00:35:51.000And they were raiding houses and they were waiting outside people's houses in black cars and they were throwing them in solitary confinement and they still are.
00:35:59.000And Jen Psaki and the press office were writing lists of people and giving it to social media for them to ban all of them.
00:36:08.000And this is what the Biden administration has been up to systematically targeting every individual, every institution that was involved specifically with Stop the Steal, the effort to prevent him from becoming president, and anybody that was involved in Trump's ascendancy in the first place.
00:36:26.000Ricky Vaughn, who is an anonymous Twitter user who was selected by Time Magazine as one of the most influential Twitter accounts in the 2016 election, they charged him for election interference because he posted a meme that was telling Democrats to vote on the wrong day in 2021.
00:38:46.000And even as far as the substance goes, they have Sebastian Gorka on stage who has three citizenships, is a former intelligence official, believes that Julian Assange is a criminal, and defends the NSA.
00:38:59.000That's who represents us at America Fest.
00:39:06.000No, we need someone that's going to rise up and protect our people and fight and win this war because it's we're going to win or we're going to lose.
00:40:25.000The war on terror is back and is being directed against American citizens.
00:40:30.000And I wouldn't be surprised if there was some false flag attack very soon to renew the mandate that they got on January 6th to begin these activities in the first place.
00:40:40.000Because that's what they're talking about.
00:40:43.000They're talking about there's more fear mongering about, oh, the people don't believe in elections.
00:41:44.000I want to talk about my ban from Getter.
00:41:47.000So I don't really have a big news article to read about this, but as I explained earlier, for those that don't know, Getter is one of these alternative tech companies.
00:41:57.000Free speech platforms that was created in the past year after Donald Trump was banned from everything.
00:42:04.000And a lot of people thought this year the getter was the Donald Trump social media, that he was an investor or he built it or he was on it.
00:42:12.000This is a social media platform, which is effectively a Twitter clone that was created by Jason Miller, who did work in the Trump campaign, but this project does not have the blessing of Trump and Trump is not involved in it.
00:42:26.000And so, anyway, they brand themselves as a free speech platform.
00:42:29.000There's no political discrimination, so they say.
00:43:53.000But I'm glad that it happened because I was able to say it.
00:43:58.000And the hope is that maybe somebody sees that and they say, gee, clearly there's something wrong here.
00:44:05.000Because I don't think there's anything that's more perfect and more representative of what's going on in the conservative movement than this.
00:44:13.000Conservatives don't get banned from Twitter.
00:44:17.000They don't get banned from anything, but they see that reactionaries and nationalists and fascists and certain Catholics, they see a lot of people like that are getting banned.
00:44:32.000They steal their plight and use it to raise money.
00:44:36.000And so, for the past five years, conservatives who have not been banned from anything, people like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk, and people on Fox News and people in think tanks, for five years, They have waved the bloody shirt of censorship and they've stolen the valor of the real comedians and the real extremists and the real truth tellers who have gotten banned and said, We're being censored.
00:46:27.000The GOP, that has never been censored before, but has fundraised and got free publicity off of it for five years, what do they do now that it is affecting them indirectly?
00:46:37.000Now that it's affecting their guy, which indirectly will result in less money and a smaller chance of winning the next presidential election?
00:46:46.000Do they go out and create a free speech alternative and create something consistent with what they've been campaigning on for the past five years?
00:46:56.000Do they take the money they raised off this issue?
00:47:00.000And the attention they've gotten from this issue and directed towards building something to solve a problem which affects not just their constituents but them as an institution?
00:47:11.000What they do is they all, each as institutions separately, scramble to build the cheapest, shoddiest platform that they can.
00:47:22.000And they bring people on not to give them a functional platform to serve as a technological equivalent and alternative to the social media that they've been banned from, but they build something that just is good enough that they could get a lot of signups.
00:47:40.000And get a big email list and sell the email list to make a quick buck.
00:48:01.000And it's dependent on back end services that would shut the website down if they didn't have a restrictive terms of service like any other social media platform.
00:48:12.000To create a platform that is functional because it's been stagnant for months.
00:48:16.000They're not trying to create a platform that is really based upon the principles of free speech.
00:48:24.000They built something quickly, cheaply, shoddily, the bare minimum, so that millions of people would sign up with their email and all the emails would be harvested on a list and sold for a quick buck.
00:48:45.000And Jason Miller's still out there and he's making the rounds doing interviews on Fox and he's on TV talking about free speech and talking about how censorship kills while he's banning me for no reason at all.
00:49:11.000I lasted longer on every single one of those platforms than I did on Getter.
00:49:19.000And that's a conservative social media that was built nominally to stop censorship.
00:49:25.000So, if conservatives can't, or better yet, refuse to solve censorship on their own platform, how can anybody believe that they would solve it in the country?
00:49:37.000And you know, this really gets to the heart of the matter.
00:49:39.000A lot of people look at me and they say, you know, you spend a lot of time attacking people on the Republican side, you spend a lot of time attacking conservatives.
00:50:14.000They're building giant $10 million conferences.
00:50:20.000Where they talk about Home Alone, Star Wars, and they do musical numbers.
00:50:25.000They're taking all those resources and they're building platforms so they could use it for a short term grift selling an email list.
00:50:34.000They get in power and they do favors for foreign countries and big business lobbies and they're sucking all the air out of the room while they do it.
00:50:56.000I mean, that should go without saying.
00:50:57.000It should go without saying just because it's justice.
00:51:01.000That's justice that a scam artist like this would just be utterly destroyed and would never work in this industry again.
00:51:08.000But what's more is it's a pragmatic necessity because, in order for an authentic institution to rise up, in order for an authentic movement to rise up, this one must be replaced.
00:51:23.000If we're going to build alternative tech, if we're going to elect politicians that are actually going to solve our problems, we got to get these other people out of the way first.
00:51:32.000Some people say, Why do you spend so much time attacking Charlie Kirk and Jason Miller?
00:51:51.000It's one that is basically creating this shell, creating this hollow brand to sell email lists and facial recognition and all kinds of marketing schemes.
00:52:13.000So I see the thing with Getter, and it's like you look at that for one second and you can understand how the conservative movement works all together.
00:52:20.000They built a censorship proof platform as an answer to an existential threat to the future of this entire thing.
00:53:49.000I'm not really that disappointed, but if anything, it's just hopefully people are going to look at that and start to open their eyes like, hmm, you know, maybe we've been duped.
00:55:24.000Chicken Wright says, Nick, your courage is contagious and your ability to stand strong in the face of adversity inspires more people than you could ever know.
00:58:41.000It's like, no, but because he's authentic, because he's not mimetic, he's not copying others, he's in touch with himself and he's ordered towards something transcendent.
00:58:53.000He's seeking God, he's seeking the truth, he's introspective and seeking the truth of himself and his place in the world.
00:59:01.000He's able to say something that no one else can.
01:01:41.000VMI says TPUSA is doing an outstanding job of eating themselves alive, and it's great to see our movement, your movement, filling the void and closing the gap.
01:03:23.000AF fans, do you think the ADL and company are going to use that clip of you saying the N word to say, see, we told you he's a white supremacist?
01:06:27.000Big Lobe says, tried sending that Dilly Stormer article about Obama's daughter's ass today to my brother, only to find out my mom was in the group chat.
01:12:09.000You see the pig badge, you see the pig uniform, and their pig cheap sunglasses, and they come to your door, and your adrenaline starts pumping, and your heart starts racing, and you start to shake a little bit.
01:12:22.000And you're not in the state of, you might say to yourself, No, I would never answer questions.
01:12:25.000And then they come to your door, and you go, Oh, well, hey, no, I didn't do anything wrong.
01:15:30.000It's like, no, you lying sack of shit.
01:15:32.000I said that I suspect that I may be on a no fly list, but I don't know.
01:15:37.000I said, but to be safe, I'm going to drive because if I do show up to the airport and I'm on a no fly list and I can't get down there, then I'd miss the conference.
01:15:45.000I said, so in the event that I am, I'm just going to drive.
01:15:50.000And Patrick said, he told me he's on a no fly list.
01:16:01.000Now other people had enhanced security screening, which is what I expected.
01:16:05.000I booked a flight to that Florida big tech conference, a rally, which I paid $10,000 for, and which I flew Michelle Malkin out for, and it was all supposed to be what?
01:16:44.000I didn't know what happened with the funds.
01:16:46.000I thought it could be the bank, I thought it could be a civil suit, I thought it could be some kind of glitch.
01:16:51.000And I said, hey, Patrick, you know, We both had a specific thing happen to us, you know, and I'm trying to isolate the reason for why this happened to me.
01:18:27.000When you get caught up in all this shit, then it's just as much as the problem, as much as it is, then what people begin to suspect.
01:18:34.000Because then you're in the situation, and people go, oh, like that fag journalist from SPLC is like, Nick, are you cooperating with the feds?
01:18:44.000Yeah, that's why I'm on a no fly list, and they have half a million dollars of my money, right?
01:19:44.000But the good thing is, I mean, I'm trusting to a degree.
01:19:47.000I always cover my ass, which is why I've survived so long.
01:19:50.000Because if I trusted people, it would be over for me.
01:19:52.000If I really confided in people, it would be over.
01:19:55.000Because you see how many times this has happened to me.
01:19:58.000James Alsup, Matt McGuinn, Cassie Dillon.
01:20:04.000Yeah, Patrick Casey, some other people recently.
01:20:10.000You know, you see how many times this has happened to me in my life.
01:20:13.000And if I ever really, people that you know for a long time, for a short time, people you work very closely with or not closely with, it doesn't matter.
01:20:22.000It's like what Donald Trump said about loyalty.
01:20:24.000He goes, you know, when the chips are down, people surprise you.
01:21:12.000And after the sixth, not only did he never speak to me again, but he texted all my friends, everyone I know in D.C. that he also knows and says, never talk to Nick again.
01:22:25.000They're so caught up in their little high school bullshit and their games, which is a cheap rationalization for these reputational games they play, that they don't know what it's going to take to win.
01:24:33.000He'd talk about all this stupid nonsense that I couldn't care.
01:24:37.000Less about, I don't want to get particular because I don't want to dox him.
01:24:45.000And, you know, like I said, real friend, and we've been on trips and everything, and we had a whole circle, and it was part of Stop the Steal, and really considered him a close friend.
01:24:55.000And then he goes and kicks me out of the group chat and texts everybody in my circle hey, don't talk to Nick.
01:26:03.000But it doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it not hurtful and offensive.
01:26:10.000But, yeah, just in case you guys don't know, I don't know what got me on the subject, but that's just the kind of stuff that goes on all day long around.
