00:00:30.000 My name is Stephen Barhorst, and welcome to a very different formatted episode of Straight Talk for you.
00:00:35.000 This is actually a Straight Talk sit down.
00:00:36.000 You may notice that I'm sitting where Charlie's sitting.
00:00:40.000 If you'll look over to our guest, we have Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:00:43.000 Nick, great to see you.
00:00:44.000 Great to see you, Stephen.
00:00:45.000 It's been a long time.
00:00:46.000 Good to be back.
00:00:48.000 Obviously, you've been at the center of a lot of controversy, and I figured we'd just get the elephant out of the room.
00:00:54.000 I'm going to let you take it away a bit.
00:00:56.000 But first, the center of the controversy at which I'm talking about is.
00:01:05.000 Obviously, your show America First.
00:01:08.000 You said a few comments that were a little bit waffled.
00:01:11.000 You said things like the First Amendment was not written for Muslims, by the way. 0.96
00:01:16.000 It wasn't written for a barbaric ideology that wanted to come over and kill us. 0.67
00:01:19.000 And then you had some choice words for the heads of CNN saying that you wanted them to be arrested, deported, and hanged because the coverage that they gave is more globalist, is the term that you used.
00:01:33.000 So, do you have any things you'd like to say about it to sort of answer the question?
00:01:39.000 Sure.
00:01:39.000 Outcry.
00:01:40.000 Well, so many people said that I botched the comments or that I misspoke.
00:01:44.000 In truth, maybe I would have chosen my words a little bit differently, but I'm not sorry at all for what I said.
00:01:50.000 I don't regret what I said.
00:01:52.000 I think it was actually an expression that needed to be made and that the West needs to make, which is that our free and open society is not for people that are intolerant. 0.98
00:02:01.000 It wasn't designed for people from the third world to come over here and redefine the fabric of our country.
00:02:07.000 So many conservatives, so many liberals, they look at the founding fathers and they say that is. 0.99
00:02:13.000 What the country ought to be.
00:02:14.000 That is the ideal United States of America. 0.88
00:02:17.000 But if we look at the demographics of the country when it was founded in 1776 or when the Constitution was ratified in 1789, you're looking at a country that was predominantly European and Christian. 0.78
00:02:29.000 And you look at how the Constitution was written and by whom.
00:02:33.000 And it was not intended for mass immigration from the Third World, from Central America, from the Middle East, for radical Islamists.
00:02:40.000 And so I stand by that statement that the First Amendment. 0.99
00:02:43.000 Was not intended for Muslims to come over here and dominate the country or dominate Europe like they are now. 0.93
00:02:49.000 With regards to the globalists, what I was referring to very simply, as we saw in Manchester yesterday, the globalists are responsible for policies that are killing our people, our families, our children, pillaging our wealth, our jobs, our factories, and this amounts to treasonous activities. 0.95
00:03:07.000 The people that run these corporations, that run the media, that run our government today, this globalist establishment, They are actively working against the interests of the American people, of Europeans, of the West.
00:03:20.000 That is treasonous activity.
00:03:21.000 And we know what the punishment is for treason.
00:03:24.000 And so I think it's time for drastic action to address these drastic circumstances.
00:03:28.000 All right.
00:03:29.000 But going back to the First Amendment, I'd like to touch on that a little bit.
00:03:32.000 They do have the religion clause.
00:03:34.000 Obviously, we know that the drafters of the Constitution, the founding fathers, were not Muslims, they were not Islamists, they were Protestant, Christian. 0.78
00:03:46.000 Denomination white males. 0.69
00:03:48.000 And we know this. 0.66
00:03:50.000 But they also had it in that it will not respect, the government will not respect any religion.
00:03:55.000 They'll kind of leave it up to the people to believe what they want to believe and do what they want to do as far as that. 0.99
00:04:02.000 Now, obviously, there's Pastafarians and all sorts of other religions that come out there that are a little bit weird. 0.93
00:04:11.000 But I guess what I'm trying to get at here is the First Amendment, while it wasn't written by them, you certainly can't. 1.00
00:04:19.000 Take out that they live here and as such have the right to the First Amendment, can you?
00:04:24.000 You absolutely can.
00:04:25.000 And I think what you have to do is distinguish between the state, which is legal, and the nation, which is more de facto.
00:04:32.000 You have de jure and you have de facto.
00:04:34.000 Now, many people will say America doesn't have an official language.
00:04:38.000 America can't establish a religion.
00:04:41.000 America can't establish anything pursuant to its own people or preserving or maintaining the status quo with regards to demographics.
00:04:49.000 I disagree with that.
00:04:50.000 Well, of course, legally, you don't have an official language.
00:04:53.000 Legally, you can't establish a religion. 0.96
00:04:56.000 If you look at how the founders intended our free society to operate and the circumstances under which our federal government were created, you cannot, in fact, divorce them from the fact that America must remain characteristically European and Christian. 0.99
00:05:11.000 It just doesn't work if you have an open society when you have barbarians. 0.97
00:05:15.000 And the problem is not terrorists, by the way.
00:05:17.000 When we saw what happened in Manchester yesterday, that is the most extreme manifestation of the problem. 0.76
00:05:23.000 Surely not all Muslims are terrorists, but the vast majority, the vast majority, From Morocco to Indonesia, have radical beliefs. 0.98
00:05:33.000 And this is in the mainstream.
00:05:34.000 This is not just a small percentage. 0.89
00:05:35.000 This is the mainstream, regular average Muslim who believes in Sharia law, who believes that women should be subservient. 0.91
00:05:42.000 You look at some of the statistics in France or in the UK or in Germany, and you look at the percentages of Muslims in these supposedly Western countries who, in fact, hold very regressive Middle Eastern Islamist views, and you quickly realize that Islam, the religion, the political religion, is incompatible. 0.99
00:06:01.000 With Western values. 0.85
00:06:02.000 I'm not talking about a fatwa by Osama bin Laden. 0.99
00:06:06.000 I'm talking about the Sunnah. 0.98
00:06:07.000 I'm talking about the Hadiths.
00:06:09.000 I'm talking about the Fellowship of the Traveler, the Quran. 0.95
00:06:13.000 We're talking about textbook, the religion which is incompatible.
00:06:16.000 And we have to get smart and we have to throw away all this stuff about legal, de jure, we can't do it legally, and focus on the nation which is real and has to be preserved. 0.93
00:06:26.000 All right, so you view Islamism in terms of Muslims in the United States as more of a culture war.
00:06:33.000 That it's the West and the Middle East, shall we say, the Sharia view of how the world should work. 1.00
00:06:42.000 Would I be correct? 1.00
00:06:43.000 Absolutely.
00:06:44.000 Absolutely.
00:06:44.000 And you see across Europe where there's more than 450 no go zones across Europe.
00:06:49.000 Now, you can watch that show on Comedy Central, Problematic, where they say, that just actually doesn't exist.
00:06:55.000 That's just actually not true.
00:06:57.000 But it's very real on the ground that you go to certain neighborhoods, certain ghettos in places like Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium.
00:07:06.000 The most progressive Western European countries in world history, and you can't go into certain neighborhoods if you're not a Muslim. 0.88
00:07:13.000 Certain areas, the police, the firefighters don't go anymore because they'll get chased out by mobs of people. 1.00
00:07:19.000 That's not a free and open society.
00:07:21.000 That cannot be tolerated.
00:07:22.000 Now let's transition to more of the globalist comments.
00:07:27.000 Obviously, you view the globalists as a big threat to all that the United States stands for, am I right?
00:07:34.000 Absolutely.
00:07:35.000 So, treason.
00:07:39.000 In terms of CNN and their coverage, we know that they're more liberal in their bent.
00:07:46.000 Would you view it as intentionally malicious, not so that they don't like him?
00:07:52.000 Because it's obvious that they don't.
00:07:54.000 We know that CNN doesn't like him, the liberal media maybe, not maybe, surely doesn't like him.
00:08:00.000 But globalist and treasonous.
00:08:04.000 Yeah, well, the globalists, the way that most people view the media, they call it the fake media or the liberal media or the mainstream media.
00:08:12.000 But in truth, all of this sort of posits that it's an accident.
00:08:16.000 It's just sort of happenstance that the journalists tend to be liberal, that the media tends to be liberal.
00:08:22.000 And I reject this.
00:08:22.000 You look at who runs the media.
00:08:24.000 You look at who runs the media, the people at the top who own the media, who are the media, and they're pushing an agenda.
00:08:31.000 It's not just an accident, like you get Jake Tapper and Don Lemon, and they happen to be a little bit more liberal.
00:08:36.000 You look at the coverage, you look at who owns it, you look at where the money goes, and these are people that are pushing an agenda that will destroy America. 0.99
00:08:44.000 It's sort of a two part problem that you have these Muslims that are pouring across the border in Europe, and they want to pour across the border in the United States. 1.00
00:08:52.000 They corrupt the culture, there's terrorism intrinsically with this culture. 1.00
00:08:57.000 And that's one part of the problem. 0.99
00:08:58.000 And we blame radical Islam.
00:09:00.000 Most people will blame radical Islam and say, there's a problem with Islam. 0.86
00:09:04.000 My problem is this you look at the Middle East, you look at Saudi Arabia, you look at Qatar, you look at Iran, and you see that these people hate our country, and they want to kill us, and they hate our way of life. 0.92
00:09:15.000 You bring them over here, and they kill us, and they hate us, and they hate our way of life.
00:09:19.000 The real problem, the root cause of the problem, is not the people that are going to hate us wherever they are.
00:09:24.000 Surely they're the most direct manifestation of the problem.
00:09:27.000 The larger problem is who brings them here? 0.85
00:09:30.000 Who lets them come over here in hordes by the millions marching across our borders and we lay down our arms and let it happen?
00:09:37.000 I think that's the real treason.
00:09:39.000 That's our own people, our own representatives who use our tax money to let these people come through and make us less safe.
00:09:46.000 And so I think that's treason.
00:09:49.000 Well, let's sort of move on a bit now to more of the transition.
00:09:55.000 Last time we met, it was on your show that you had on LTTV, the Nicholas J. Flint. Show.
00:10:00.000 And back then, you were a bit more of a, let's call it a Reaganite.
00:10:05.000 You were a bit more of a sort of Daily Wire type conservative.
00:10:08.000 I know that's not really a term that you like so much, so more.
00:10:12.000 Now you're a bit more of an alt right.
00:10:15.000 In the first episode, you described yourself as a small L libertarian.
00:10:21.000 And what I'm trying to wonder is how does one go along your path, go from a libertarian to nationalist alt right figure?
00:10:31.000 I would say is a fair.
00:10:33.000 Sure.
00:10:33.000 Well, I think alt right, probably the more accurate term would be alt light.
00:10:37.000 The alt right is more concerned with race and other things.
00:10:41.000 Alt light is more about culture, which I guess.
00:10:44.000 But I would say that the nationalist, I even like the term alt right.
00:10:47.000 I think it's been co opted by the media a little bit.
00:10:49.000 I would say it's an alternative way of looking at the right wing.
00:10:52.000 And how you get there, from where I was a libertarian to a nationalist, is it starts with demographics.
00:10:59.000 I think, and I was thinking about this yesterday, the small l libertarian, the free market, Reaganite conservative, the true conservative, they look at economics and liberty as the most important parts of governing.
00:11:13.000 They see economics as intrinsically the way that you empower individual liberty.
00:11:18.000 And I'm still for liberty.
00:11:19.000 I'm still for the individual, protecting the individual.
00:11:23.000 I'm still for a constitution.
00:11:25.000 But I think that you can't ignore the fact that when you have a democratic system, when our federal system has been corrupted to be almost a pure democracy, you can't ignore the role that demographics plays.
00:11:36.000 And I think that's what I woke up to a little bit. 0.75
00:11:38.000 That when you see Central and South American immigration increase, when you see Asian American, Muslim immigration increase, and you look at what these people believe, and they believe in bigger government. 1.00
00:11:50.000 A lot of them believe in corruption. 1.00
00:11:51.000 They believe in social welfare.
00:11:53.000 And you look at the effect that this has in places like Chicago and places like New York City, and you quickly realize that you can't have a country that has liberty.
00:12:02.000 You can't have a country that is free and open and European in character if you change the demographics of the country, which is what is happening, and it's happening by design.
00:12:11.000 It used to be. 0.99
00:12:13.000 Before the 1965 Heart Cellar Immigration Act, a Christian European country. 0.99
00:12:18.000 And what's happened in the past 40 years? 0.98
00:12:20.000 We've seen the demographics totally change, the culture totally change. 1.00
00:12:24.000 And a light went off in my head, and I said, How can you have a free European Christian country if it's made up of people from the third world who've never known liberty, who've never known Christ, who've never known what it means to be an American? 1.00
00:12:38.000 And so I still believe in assimilation to an extent, but we have to slow it down and we have to stop immigration so that we can assimilate the tens of millions that are here already and are unassimilated. 1.00
00:12:48.000 Right. 1.00
00:12:49.000 And you've been talking about culture a lot.
00:12:51.000 You've also been talking about demographics, and it seems that you've used the two.
00:12:55.000 A little bit interchangeably, where you'll say the demographics are changing, and as a result, the culture is changing.
00:13:04.000 Now, I know that you said that there's a differentiation between the alt right and the alt light, and that the alt right has a lot more to do with race.
00:13:12.000 I view it a different way.
00:13:14.000 I don't think that any one group is predetermined to think certain beliefs.
00:13:20.000 I think that it has to do with the circumstances of where they are in terms of third world countries.
00:13:28.000 Where you see a lot of dictatorships and you see a lot of oppression, specifically in the Middle East, if we want to talk about that, of women and other groups, the LGBT crowd comes to mind.
00:13:42.000 And then in America, where the same demographic numbers have a completely different value set, where even though the Democratic Party is changing, even though the Democratic Party defends the Saudi Arabians and they make these coalitions with the LGBT groups, That the Saudi royal family is still engaged in persecuting gays or women.
00:14:05.000 So, what I'm trying to get at here is there still seems to be a bit of an interchangeability between demographics and culture in the alt-right, even.
00:14:14.000 Well, you have to recognize that people carry baggage.
00:14:17.000 I think the alt-right, whatever you want to define it by, whether it's race or culture, whatever, I think the alt-right recognizes, which is so different than Reagan conservatism, and it's so important, whereas the Reagan conservative orders society based on the individual.
00:14:33.000 They say everybody's an individual, they're all the same men, women, blacks, whites, whatever.
00:14:38.000 We're all just individuals.
00:14:40.000 The alt right, the nationalist, the Trump conservative says that there are primordial organizations of people tribes, nations, groups, civilizations, whatever you want to break it down by.
00:14:51.000 But you have these tribes, you have these different groups, which are objective, primordially real.
00:14:57.000 And they can't be changed overnight.
00:14:59.000 And overnight is one, two, three, or four generations.
00:15:02.000 And so, while I don't dispute that you can have people come over here and adopt our values, I dispute that you can have millions and millions and millions come over here in such a short amount of time and we expect them to change so quickly. 0.84
00:15:15.000 I'm Mexican, and that quarter Mexican, you could say, is assimilated at this point. 0.80
00:15:20.000 But it took five generations. 0.90
00:15:22.000 And it took five generations and a predominantly European culture.
00:15:27.000 And you look at the world around you, how can you expect people to integrate and assimilate when the media is internationalist and globalist?
00:15:35.000 The education system from kindergarten to college is internationalist and globalist.
00:15:39.000 Hollywood and all the major entertainment is internationalist and globalist.
00:15:44.000 Your city's cosmopolitan, internationalist and globalist. 1.00
00:15:47.000 And how can you expect that these third worlders come over here and they're going to integrate into America when there's no America to integrate into? 1.00
00:15:55.000 And so that's why there is sort of an intrinsic link between the people and the culture. 1.00
00:16:00.000 They carry a baggage that can change over time.
00:16:03.000 We've seen it change over time.
00:16:05.000 And look no further than these statistics on income in the country.
00:16:09.000 The highest income earners by per capita in terms of ethnicity you have Nigerians, you have Japanese, you have Chinese, you have Iranians.
00:16:17.000 So, the people that come over here can assimilate, they can make money over time if they have a culture to integrate into.
00:16:24.000 We just have to preserve that.
00:16:26.000 Right, and you mentioned a bit about college, and that's one of the next things we want to get into.
00:16:32.000 The college campus has become a very politically divisive field, and just over the past month, month and a half, there was the big Cal Berkeley situation with Ann Coulter, who is another Trump conservative.
00:16:49.000 Where Ann Coulter was supposed to speak at the University of California at Berkeley was later denied by the administration, and that broke the hearts of a lot of free speech people.
00:17:01.000 Dave Rubin was one who was pretty vocal about this because Cal Berkeley, for the longest time, had been one of the bastions of free speech.
00:17:09.000 It had been one of the places, well, even going back to the Vietnam War, how many protests were on those campuses?
00:17:16.000 Especially at Berkeley, they have a staircase dedicated to free speech with someone.
00:17:21.000 Defaced the plaque of, I believe.
00:17:24.000 But now Berkeley is seen in a little bit of a different light by free speech purists.
00:17:31.000 And this has caused just Ann Coulter coming to Berkeley, Antifa shut it down.
00:17:37.000 Antifa is one of those big college campus waves that come across.
00:17:42.000 I was wondering if you could, you have first hand experience.
00:17:46.000 You're a college freshman going into college sophomore.
00:17:48.000 I think you could probably tell us a little bit about the game of tug of war on the American college campus.
00:17:56.000 Sure, well, it's difficult to say.
00:17:57.000 I think the free speech is a broad umbrella.
00:18:00.000 I think it invites a lot of people.
00:18:01.000 But the messages that they protest against, the messages that they suppress, it's a very specific type of message.
00:18:07.000 And you have to look into what that message is and what groups they run with and what's actually in it.
00:18:13.000 But it's by design.
00:18:14.000 This is an agenda of intimidation of certain viewpoints.
00:18:18.000 So you can't voice them, you can't get them to the public.
00:18:21.000 I don't think they would ever shut down a John Kasich, they would never shut down some establishment.
00:18:26.000 Conservative who's preaching Medicare reform and tax reform.
00:18:29.000 It's a very particular viewpoint, a very specific ideology which they wish to suppress.
00:18:35.000 And we'll leave that to the imagination what that is.
00:18:38.000 In my experience, it's almost impossible to be sort of a nationalist on campus.
00:18:44.000 It really is.
00:18:45.000 People know me.
00:18:46.000 I've been told I'm the most famous person on the Boston University campus.
00:18:50.000 I probably am.
00:18:52.000 And it's very difficult because, as a person, as a young person in particular, When you want to get out and explore the world and meet new people, it's very difficult, I will tell you.
00:19:02.000 I wear my Make America Great Again hat around campus, and you have to wear it around campus really to understand the derision, the loathing.
00:19:12.000 It's almost in the atmosphere, it's almost in the air.
00:19:14.000 The hatred that they have, the sheer hatred that they have for you if you hold these views.
00:19:20.000 I love it.
00:19:21.000 I think it's hilarious.
00:19:21.000 I think it's fun.
00:19:23.000 You know, we all remember November 8th.
00:19:25.000 We all remember what a great victory that was.
00:19:27.000 And so we're still riding off of the Jubilation of that night, but it is very difficult and it has to change.
00:19:34.000 It has to change if we're going to change the country because you can elect all the Donald Trumps you want.
00:19:39.000 You can elect a Republican Senate and House in 2018 with a bigger majority.
00:19:44.000 It won't matter if you don't reach the young people. 0.74
00:19:47.000 And so we have to retake the institutions.
00:19:49.000 I don't know how it's going to happen, but it has to happen.
00:19:52.000 And going back to Ann Coulter, she's been a little bit not necessarily derivative, not derivative.
00:19:52.000 All right.
00:20:00.000 She's been criticizing the president a little bit more.
00:20:04.000 She had some things that she wanted to get done.
00:20:08.000 She obviously wanted the wall to be at least under construction.
00:20:12.000 Right now, it's not. 0.98
00:20:16.000 She doesn't like the new health care bill.
00:20:20.000 A few Trump conservatives are becoming a little bit skeptical of the president and that he's going to be able to achieve everything that he said he was going to.
00:20:29.000 Are you one of those people who's a little bit skeptical or are you still firmly on the train, so to speak?
00:20:34.000 I am still firmly on the train.
00:20:36.000 I've interacted with a lot of people that have jumped off.
00:20:39.000 There are a lot of people that are very upset with the president, specifically with his recent trip to Saudi Arabia where he announced.
00:20:46.000 Something like $350 billion in trade, a hundred and some billion dollar arms deal.
00:20:51.000 And there was a giant arms deal that was made.
00:20:53.000 And then additional economic investments between the country.
00:20:57.000 And I know a lot of people are upset by this.
00:20:59.000 They say that would be Hillary Clinton, that would be a Jeb Bush move.
00:21:02.000 I take a little bit of a different stance.
00:21:04.000 You look at Donald Trump and what he's trying to accomplish, and you see that every political establishment in the country is arrayed against that, whether it be the deep state, the media, his own party.
00:21:16.000 Everybody is against him.
00:21:18.000 It's this one man.
00:21:19.000 And a small group of loyalists.
00:21:21.000 Now, if he had tried to move very quickly towards his reforms, if he had pretended that he was this mover and shaker, he was getting things done, in a word, if he was a threat, if he presented himself immediately as a threat to the establishment, he might see a fate similar to Jack Kennedy or Robert Kennedy or Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr.
00:21:44.000 When the deep state is against you, you have some serious problems in terms of your health, in terms of your well being.
00:21:50.000 You won't last very long if you're a threat to the establishment.
00:21:54.000 I think what we're seeing so far is a systematic reform, a reform to the system, rather, a systemic reform.
00:22:02.000 You look at him firing FBI Director Comey.
00:22:05.000 There was a report in Breitbart yesterday that said he had found three leakers.
00:22:09.000 He's going to name them, fire them, and possibly try them.
00:22:13.000 And I think what you're seeing over the course of the first hundred days and afterwards is a systemic reform where he's ensuring that once the major reforms are undertaken, He'll have the system in place to keep them and preserve them and to be safe while he's doing them.
00:22:29.000 And so I think a lot of people underestimate really how much work remains to be done.
00:22:34.000 It's not just policy reform, it's system reform, it's institutional reform.
00:22:39.000 And so I trust that he's doing that right now.
00:22:41.000 He's reforming the institutions, he's getting that systemic reform through so that we can get the policies through and they'll have some longevity.
00:22:49.000 But I do say that there should be some caution.
00:22:52.000 With any politician, we have to be cautious.
00:22:54.000 But I think that that's what's going on right now.
00:22:57.000 The deep state is something that you named, and it's been a topic of a lot of, well, let's use your term, alt light talk circles.
00:23:06.000 It's been mentioned as maybe the number one enemy of the United States' people, not the establishment, but the people in the eyes of your alt right, alt light philosophers, including yourself on your show, America First.
00:23:25.000 Biggest adversaries, enemies, even.
00:23:31.000 Could you go into it a little bit and how big of a threat that you personally see the deep state as?
00:23:38.000 Because it's been touted as everything from this giant, overwhelming force of darkness that's going to encircle everyone to, well, it's a threat, but we're taking care of it.
00:23:52.000 It's not as big a threat as it was.
00:23:54.000 I just wanted to get your perspective.
00:23:56.000 Well, the problem with the deep state is it's a state within a state.
00:23:59.000 And we've seen this before.
00:24:00.000 This is how Joseph Stalin took over the Soviet Union.
00:24:04.000 The Soviet Union didn't start out as a personal dictatorship.
00:24:08.000 It was actually very loose.
00:24:10.000 It was actually very disorganized. 0.78
00:24:12.000 But you saw Joseph Stalin over the course of five or six years, he cultivated not only an autocratic state that ruled everything, but a personal state apparatus within the state so that he was the sole controller, the sole mover within the country or within the state that controlled the country. 0.70
00:24:29.000 You saw this with Adolf Hitler, with the SS, with his own personal forces. 0.66
00:24:34.000 You see this in Iran with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. 0.62
00:24:38.000 In every dictatorship, in every authoritarian country, you have a state that controls everything, and within that state, you have something far more sinister, far more evil, something far more personal in its exercise. 0.75
00:24:51.000 And I think that's what the deep state represents.
00:24:53.000 And what that goes to show is that we have no power.
00:24:57.000 We are not citizens, we are subjects.
00:24:59.000 Our representatives have no power.
00:25:01.000 Our governors, our state chambers, our federal chambers, there's no people power, there's no aristocratic power.
00:25:08.000 All power is being centrally held in a few different agencies.
00:25:12.000 And that's a real problem when we see what's happening to our country and who's pulling the strings behind those agencies.
00:25:18.000 And so I think that's really what the core problem is if we don't have a voice, if we don't have any power to change anything, forget about the United States of America, forget about the West.
00:25:31.000 If the same people control the deep state that control the European Union and the banks, and we see this enormous shadowy network of globalists that control everything, where no finger is lifted without a globalist giving an order.
00:25:45.000 You see that this decline is irreversible.
00:25:47.000 The West will die by its own hands.
00:25:49.000 And so it's really the biggest existential threat to our survival. 1.00
00:25:53.000 It's not forget about radical Islam. 1.00
00:25:55.000 Radical Islam can't touch us if there's no Muslim immigration, right? 0.89
00:26:00.000 Russia can't touch us if NATO doesn't expand across the Eurasian periphery like it does at the behest of the globalists. 0.92
00:26:07.000 China is not a problem if they don't have to challenge our currency because we control everything through our banks and everything else.
00:26:15.000 And so I think that the number one existential threat to the country is from within it's the deep state. 0.94
00:26:20.000 And going back to your show, it was carried by the Right Side Broadcasting Network.
00:26:25.000 And the Right Side Broadcasting Network recently, due to the YouTube monetary policy changes, they've demonetized a lot of political, just straight talking at you content.
00:26:36.000 And that's kind of taken out a lot of the ranter space of the website.
00:26:43.000 Not to say that your show is ranting, but it falls under that category.
00:26:49.000 You have an announcement about it.
00:26:54.000 You like to clue us in a little bit?
00:26:55.000 Sure.
00:26:56.000 Well, America First is coming back.
00:26:58.000 America First returns Monday, May 29th.
00:27:03.000 And it's really a perfect day for it to come back.
00:27:05.000 It's a perfect day for my triumphant return.
00:27:08.000 It's the 100th birthday of John F. Kennedy.
00:27:10.000 Jack Kennedy was born 100 years ago, May 29th, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts.
00:27:18.000 And this was a man who fought the deep state head on, who fought this globalist establishment that we're talking about.
00:27:24.000 And we all understand what happened to him.
00:27:25.000 And so I'm coming back to fight the good fight May 29th, Monday.
00:27:29.000 Spread the word, tell your friends, tell your family.
00:27:32.000 We're coming back bigger and better and stronger than ever before.
00:27:37.000 And we will make America great again, Stephen.
00:27:39.000 We will.
00:27:39.000 All right, all right.
00:27:40.000 Well, that seems like as good a note as any.
00:27:42.000 Nick, thanks for coming on.
00:27:43.000 Glad we could have this little one on one chat.
00:27:46.000 Hope to do it again sometime.
00:27:48.000 As for me, my name is Stephen Barhorst, and this has been Straight Talk.
00:27:52.000 Hope to see you again soon.
