Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) drops out of the Democratic primary race, and it's about time we finally had something new to talk about. It's been killing me the past few weeks, talking about the same old same old, same old. Finally, we're going outside of the news bunker for the first time in weeks, and we're talking about a story that's not coronavirus-related, and that's Bernie Sanders' announcement that he's not running for President in 2020. It's a good development for the country, and a great development for me, because it means we finally get to return to normalcy, and break up the monotony of the numbers, the news conference, the stimulus, and the stock market! We'll talk about that and much more on tonight's show, including a new intro song, some new music, and much, much more! I'm excited to be back, and I can't wait to see what we'll be talking about tonight! - Nicholas J.

00:00:06.000Good evening everybody you are watching America First.
00:00:25.000Big news happening in the world today.
00:00:29.000Finally, that is not coronavirus related, and it's about time.
00:00:33.000Tonight, of course, we are talking about Bernie Sanders dropping out of the Democratic primary, dropping out of the presidential race, and that's going to be our main story, our featured story, and it's very exciting, and this is very exciting, this is very good.
00:00:52.000This is a very good development, and not a good development just for the country.
00:02:29.000So we have some new music tonight, and I think everybody likes it.
00:02:32.000I think we have reached universal acclaim on the new song, just about everybody.
00:02:39.000And I was watching the chat, you know, I'm watching people fill up and watching everybody pour into the stream, and pretty much universally positive reactions.
00:03:00.000It's not the song might actually have some updates there might be more clips of me in the song It's not actually maybe the first time some of you have heard it.
00:03:09.000I actually played that song I want to say a week or two ago.
00:03:14.000I debuted it and we sampled a couple of new songs But I finally pulled the trigger and replaced it there are some pending updates which may come and that's why I was holding off and
00:04:01.000Seven to ten minutes of songs I think that's about right maybe nine to twelve minutes of of unique songs For the lobby music instead of hearing the same three-minute song over and over and over again You'll hear a rotation of four and maybe more songs, so I'm working on that that might come later on but
00:05:05.000And I've said this a million times, but at least if it's like a war, there's like, you know, new, unique, fresh things.
00:05:14.000It's like a linear sort of narrative and storyline.
00:05:18.000And with this, it's just like, well, you know, today the virus got worse.
00:05:21.000Today, more people have it than yesterday.
00:05:25.000More people have the virus than yesterday.
00:05:28.000The numbers going up again, like, it just sucks.
00:05:32.000So I'm excited that we finally have something new to talk about.
00:05:36.000So we'll be talking about Bernie Sanders and the Democratic primary, even though, I mean, is it really even news that Joe Biden is now the presumptive frontrunner and Bernie Sanders is not going to be president?
00:05:50.000I mean, we had determined this weeks ago, but, but hey, look, we'll take a weekend cat, right?
00:05:56.000I gotta tell you, I'm very uncomfortable today.
00:05:59.000This beard is, it's entering into the itchy phase.
00:06:03.000My face is just itching so much today, and I just want to get rid of it.
00:06:08.000But I told you, I'm gonna keep it for as long as we're in the shelter-in-place.
00:06:12.000As long as the quarantine is going on, I'm gonna keep the beard.
00:06:17.000And I don't know what's going on with... I don't know if my neck's getting fat or what's going on with this collar, but I'm very cognizant of it this week.
00:06:27.000Maybe I... You know when you get in your own head, so... I'm feeling a little uncomfortable tonight, but I'm gonna... I'm gonna try and power through.
00:06:35.000I'm gonna try and soldier on in spite of it, and we'll have a good show.
00:07:40.000So, for most of my life, it's like, yeah, you know, I just do my thing, and I put in a little bit of effort, and I do okay.
00:07:48.000And I have just been working so hard ever since Groyper Wars started, ever since Miami.
00:07:54.000And the reason I bring it up is just today, and just for the past, like, eight weeks, it's just been a lot of phone calls, and a lot of research, and a lot of
00:08:05.000Just daily grinding type tasks and I think you're gonna like a lot of what you see in the rest of 2020.
00:08:12.000I know I've hinted at various things at different points, different projects that are underway, but I just want to assure you that what goes on on a day-to-day basis in the America First Laboratory, the headquarters,
00:08:25.000You know the America first compound I can tell you that you're gonna you're gonna like what you see in the coming months Lots of new projects lots of projects that have been postponed obviously because of the virus, but some good things on the horizon So just a little just a little white pill there for you The new lobby music is just one in a long long list of good things to come so I'm very I'm very white pilled very excited but like I said, it's a grind I'm like
00:08:53.000These days it's just so much, you know, I'm filling up that little black book with tasks and to-do lists and phone calls I gotta make and, you know, things I gotta do.
00:10:29.000numbers and I'll just change how it's presented.
00:10:32.000But the latest numbers for the U.S., we've got 432,000 cases in the U.S.
00:10:39.000We are up to 14,722 dead from coronavirus and that is up 1,893 dead from yesterday.
00:10:51.000So the death rate keeps going up and this is this is the number that I really want to focus on.
00:10:56.000That's a big reason why I've done away with the whiteboard tonight is the big thing that I want to talk about tonight or the big number
00:11:04.000for the coronavirus talk tonight is the death number and this is what I've been saying you know Monday and starting on Monday the theme for coronavirus for this week is peak week this is peak week for the United States peak death rate and we are heading towards the peak death toll peak number of coronavirus cases and so yesterday it was it was 13,000 and some dead
00:12:59.000And the number that they released last week, which we covered, this was the first time that we got a number from Dr. Fauci and from the White House.
00:13:08.000They said that it was going to be maybe 240,000.
00:13:12.000And now they're saying that the range will be somewhere between 30,000 and 130,000.
00:13:15.000The projected number based on the data we have now is 60,415 projected by August 4th.
00:14:07.000I mean, we want the death rate to be lower, and I know, and I know I've been saying this now for the past few days, and some of you guys are gonna be tired of hearing this, but I've been seeing it!
00:14:18.000But I've been seeing it on the timeline!
00:14:21.000And I saw it today, and it's the same people, it's the usual suspects, and you know what's gonna happen, is if we wind up with 60,000 dead on August 4th, or less, what are people gonna say?
00:14:35.000Well look at the numbers compared to the flu.
00:14:38.000Well, you know, 60,000 dead, that's about as bad as a bad flu season.
00:14:43.000And they're gonna say that the quarantine was unnecessary, the social distancing, the guidelines, the shutdown, right?
00:15:03.000So you cannot compare, it cannot be said enough, that you cannot compare the current death rate with the yearly total for the flu, right?
00:15:13.000Because here's another thing which I actually haven't said, I don't think yet about this comparison between the virus and the flu, is that when you compare the death toll for the virus to the death toll for the flu, it's also completely different numbers.
00:15:28.000And I've listed the other differences, and we'll get into that in a moment.
00:15:40.000That is, you know, if 40,000 people die on a given year from the flu, that's 40,000 over the whole year.
00:15:50.000We're talking about 14,000 dead in a matter of weeks from coronavirus.
00:15:57.000And that's another aspect of it that people aren't taking into consideration.
00:16:01.000Because the death toll, for example, that's projected for May 1st is going to be up to 52,000.
00:16:06.000They're projecting 52,000 dead by May 1st.
00:16:13.000So you're talking about, in the span of 8 weeks, 50,000 dead.
00:16:18.000In a pretty bad flu season you have 50,000 dead over the course of a year and so obviously that's apples and oranges to say 50,000 dead in a year after millions and millions and millions of people get it versus
00:16:53.000We've talked about some of the qualitative differences and some of the variables that are different.
00:16:59.000Immunity, the social distancing, right?
00:17:01.000I mean, all of these are variables in the death rate which are gonna bring us a lower coronavirus death rate.
00:17:07.000But even when we finally get the total death rate, it's like that'll have been, even if we go to 60,000 deaths by August, you're talking about five months of death versus 12 months of death.
00:17:33.000Sort of conventional wisdom for the media and for the government has been that a lot of the transmission of coronavirus will stop in the summer because when you get warmer temperatures they say that the transmission will subside and this will kill the virus right it'll it'll make it less contagious
00:17:53.000But a new study came out today that said that that might not be the case.
00:17:57.000And so it might be just as contagious and you might have the same transmissions and the same problems that you have in the colder temperatures in the colder months.
00:18:06.000You'll have the same thing in the summer months as well.
00:18:08.000And if that's the case, then we don't get any reprieve from the virus.
00:18:12.000And that is going to seriously change her outlook on what a return to normalcy looks like out of shelter-in-place, out of lockdown, right?
00:18:21.000We had this conversation the other day talking about what that's going to look like for Europe as Italy and some of these other countries begin to ramp down some of their more dramatic and extraordinary social distancing measures.
00:18:36.000Because over there, their numbers are already coming down spectacularly.
00:18:39.000The death rate, the number of new cases,
00:18:42.000Hospitalizations ICU all the numbers are looking pretty good in Italy and elsewhere and so the big question for policymakers there is what does the ramp down look like how do you how do you get the economy going again so you don't like collapse society but without risking another major outbreak another major spread of the virus and now that we have this new information about
00:19:07.000These warmer temperatures and so on that's gonna affect what that looks like.
00:19:11.000If the warmer temperatures cannot be counted on to in some natural way subdue the virus then we don't get any reprieve.
00:19:19.000We may have to maintain some level of extreme social distancing like indefinitely.
00:19:26.000And the economy has to get going again.
00:19:28.000We're gonna have to figure something out and I said that the other day it's gonna be masks and temperature checks and
00:19:54.000I don't think that's registered with people yet.
00:20:07.000That most people think that May 1st or June 1st at some, you know, indeterminate point in the future, well, everything's just going to go back to normal.
00:20:18.000I really think that that's how most people, that's most people's expectation, even if they are hearing something different or maybe they're not even consciously thinking it.
00:20:31.000I think most people's sort of subconscious or conscious presumption is that by Augustus I'll be over and by all over it means everything's gonna go back to normal.
00:20:42.000We're gonna be out partying and you're gonna be out and touching things and not washing your hands and not wearing masks and
00:20:52.000This will be with us in June, and July, and August, and September, and October, and this will be with us next year.
00:21:00.000It'll be with us the year after that, and the year after that, and you're not going to see any kind of return to normalcy until that immunity is established.
00:21:15.000really marinate on that you know really let that sink in for a moment that until we develop a natural immunity and natural immunity means that 40 to 70 percent of the population gets the virus in some way maybe it's asymptomatic but every you know lots of people get it or a vaccine is developed and a vaccine is at least at least 12 to 18 months out and probably longer than that because a virus is very difficult to make a vaccine for so you're talking about a long
00:21:50.000You know, coronavirus is a family of diseases.
00:21:53.000And I, you know, I've said this before, but, you know, what is able, how we're able to cope with infectious diseases is that we have this immunity.
00:22:01.000Either naturally, you get your vaccine.
00:22:03.000You either get a flu shot, or people have built up a natural immunity to certain things.
00:22:08.000And that's why it's not catastrophic to have the flu or, you know, any, any coronavirus that has been around with us before, right?
00:22:16.000But now that this new disease is here, unless and until we develop that immunity, it will always be lingering, waiting in the wings for another major outbreak.
00:22:26.000Unless people are doing the social distancing and minding their breathing with a mask, right?
00:22:30.000Or disinfecting the surfaces, washing their hands, or doing hand sanitizer.
00:22:35.000So I know a lot of people think that like, oh well, come summertime, or come the fall, or next year at the latest,
00:22:43.000What are we going to do when quarantine gets lifted?
00:22:45.000We're going to party like it's February 2020, you know?
00:22:49.000We're all going to get back out there and we're going to go to restaurants and go to parties and go to bars.
00:23:35.000Because at that point, a lot of things will have moved online, new
00:23:40.000All kinds of new habits and new ways of living will have been established to adapt to the virus over these years.
00:23:49.000And that's just the way it's going to be after that.
00:23:51.000And we'll say, oh, well, good, we don't have to worry about it anymore.
00:23:54.000Maybe, you know, a vaccine has been developed or studies show that the natural immunity has been reached, whatever.
00:24:00.000At that point, we'll have already have changed and those changes will be permanent.
00:24:05.000You know, people aren't going to say, okay, back to, you know, living like before the pandemic.
00:24:10.000So that's kind of, kind of a shocking thing to think about, which I think it hasn't even set in for most people.
00:24:16.000And we look at the death rate and these numbers and the numbers are coming down in this first wave.
00:24:20.000It looks like we're ramping down from it and you know, people are going to be expecting, okay, it's all, you know, rushing back in.
00:24:29.000and that's not how it's going to be that is not how it's going to play out so anyway that's the latest with the coronavirus not really any major developments in the way of much else other than this this peak week that we keep talking about that the death toll toll is now
00:24:47.000Skyrocketing in the United States, particularly in New York and New Jersey.
00:24:51.000And now you're gonna see the peak of the death toll and the peak of these curves in all the other hotspots across the country.
00:25:00.000So that's the major thing we're monitoring at this point.
00:25:03.000Everything else seems to be basically consistent with what we've been talking about.
00:25:13.00060,000 dead, 3,000 dead in a given day.
00:25:16.000That's a lot of people and it's just another reminder that you gotta be safe.
00:25:21.000I know it's been a long time and you know maybe people are getting sick of it or they're ready to let their guard down again but gotta be on watch because this is a nasty virus.
00:25:30.000I don't know if you guys have been reading any of the first-hand accounts of the virus but it is nasty.
00:25:37.000Even healthy people that can track this thing.
00:25:41.000And in a lot of cases it leaves you with permanent damage.
00:25:44.000Even if you don't die, even if you're young and healthy, it leaves you with serious organ damage to your lungs, your kidneys, your heart, some even say your brain.
00:26:11.000And all this is to say, everything is necessary.
00:26:13.000I see a lot of this take about, you know, oh, well, it's just like the flu, and what they're implicitly saying is all this social distancing is unnecessary.
00:26:23.000If we didn't have the social distancing, and you had people dying like this, imagine how many people would be dying if we didn't take these drastic actions.
00:26:33.000This is what the death rate looks like when there's virtually no transmission after all these lockdowns go into place, right?
00:26:41.000I mean, we've virtually eliminated the transmission if people are just not coming into contact.
00:26:46.000Now, that doesn't mean that you don't have transmission, but, you know.
00:26:50.000Having people going outside versus not going outside.
00:27:02.000That is with the six-week shelter-in-place extreme social distancing, right?
00:27:07.000Imagine what it would be like if people were still going out and eating and going to bars and going to clubs and going to work and to school.
00:28:55.000It's actually been a long time since we talked about the Democratic primary.
00:28:59.000And that's because all the contests got delayed.
00:29:02.000I think yesterday or the day before was the Wisconsin primary.
00:29:07.000Up until that point, all the other ones have been delayed, right?
00:29:11.000But before that, we had been covering the Democratic primary pretty consistently, you know, watching Super Tuesday and the caucuses and all the different contests across the country, watching the debates and so on.
00:29:24.000Obviously, everything's been put on hold for the past two weeks in particular, but we covered it for a long time.
00:29:30.000And Bernie Sanders finally dropped out, and the reason why I say it's not really news is because
00:29:35.000I mean, we knew this guy didn't stand a chance, really, after Super Tuesday.
00:29:41.000The history of the race is, you've got your first month, which is February, and that's your first four contests.
00:29:49.000That's the Iowa Caucus, that's New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.
00:29:55.000And then you have Super Tuesday the week after that.
00:29:57.000Super Tuesday is the beginning of March.
00:29:59.000And that is when you have all these major contests, right?
00:30:02.000Super Tuesday is one week, and the week after that I think you've got six or seven contests on one day, and the week after that you've got Arizona, Illinois, Ohio, Florida, and, you know, those three weeks in particular are huge weeks, and that, you know, that basically determines the race.
00:30:19.000And so we saw the Iowa caucus and Bernie had a strong showing in New Hampshire, Bernie won in Nevada,
00:30:25.000Bernie won 50% and then South Carolina happens.
00:31:15.000And the week after that, he wins everything.
00:31:17.000And then you look at the rest of the contests, and there's not a... I don't believe there's a single one that Bernie Sanders is favored to win.
00:32:41.000My theory was that the longer he stays in the race, the more delegates he accumulates, and maybe that gives him more leverage over Joe Biden as the nominee.
00:32:50.000Maybe then Bernie Sanders gets to be sort of a kingmaker.
00:33:38.000It was kind of a glorious day because I see all the Democratic Socialists and all the DSA types, the Chapo Trap House type people, totally melting down and I see them on Reddit and they're talking about how
00:35:33.000It was Pete Buttigieg dropped out and endorsed, Elizabeth Warren dropped out, or actually she stayed in on Super Tuesday and then dropped out later and did not endorse.
00:35:44.000It was Pete Buttigieg, it was Klobuchar that dropped out, a lot of other candidates that had been in the race like Kamala and Beto and others, they endorsed Biden after he won South Carolina, after he won Super Tuesday.
00:35:58.000And so a lot of people might say that that's a fix or something, but in my opinion that's not a fix, that's not cheating.
00:36:05.000That's kind of like you lost fair and square.
00:36:07.000Because what we saw happen is that Joe Biden simply won more delegates than Bernie Sanders.
00:36:13.000He simply amassed a delegate lead that was insurmountable for Bernie.
00:36:19.000Joe Biden put himself on a path where it was mathematically impossible for Bernie Sanders to beat him, and it was virtually mathematically impossible for Joe Biden not to clinch a majority of the delegates.
00:37:04.000But everybody that's running has their prerogative to endorse whoever they want.
00:37:08.000And by the way, voters don't have to vote based on who their preferred candidate endorsed, right?
00:37:15.000If I was going to vote for Andrew Yang, let's say hypothetically, if I was going to vote for Andrew Yang in the Democratic primary, if Andrew Yang drops out and endorses Joe Biden, do I have to vote for Joe Biden?
00:37:57.000So to say that well because he got a lot of endorsements or there was this conspiracy or whatever to me is lame and it's wrong and it's not true.
00:38:25.000He won a bigger percentage of the white working class than Hillary Clinton, but it was predominantly the black vote that pushed him over the edge.
00:38:34.000And he also won the old and the middle-aged.
00:38:36.000Bernie Sanders, what he was counting on was a surge of young voters, which never materialized.
00:38:43.000Actually, probably less people, young people, voted in this primary as a proportion.
00:39:06.000And we could look at the demographic reasons, like I just said, about blacks, or about young versus old, or about issues, things like Medicare for All.
00:39:15.000I think that definitely played a part.
00:39:17.000Bernie Sanders simply does not have the killer instinct to win.
00:39:39.000And even if he did, I don't think he knew how to win.
00:39:42.000And this was best characterized, and I tweeted this today, this was best characterized actually back in 2016.
00:39:50.000Because I don't know if you remember, but back in 2016, Bernie Sanders actually gave Hillary Clinton a run for her money.
00:39:56.000And I don't know if he ever actually stood a chance at beating her without the superdelegates or without the media or, you know, all the shady stuff that happened, but nevertheless he gave her a run for her money.
00:40:08.000But there was a moment during the 2016 primary when it was one of the Democratic primary debates and the moderators asked Bernie Sanders about Hillary Clinton's emails and the email scandal that was going on at the time, the 30,000 deleted emails, right?
00:40:26.000Bernie Sanders responded to that question by saying, I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails to Hillary Clinton.
00:40:45.000I think she even clapped or something.
00:40:48.000And that's because she knew in that moment that she won.
00:40:51.000Because what that communicated in that moment was that Bernie Sanders was unwilling to actually challenge the establishment.
00:40:59.000He was unwilling to actually square up and explicitly and overtly fight and challenge the DNC establishment, and really the monoparty establishment, not just the establishment and his own party.
00:41:14.000But we know that the establishment is the whole system.
00:41:18.000It's the GOP, it's the Democratic Party, it's the media.
00:41:22.000We know it's the whole enchilada, right?
00:41:46.000You know, Lenin and Trotsky and Stalin.
00:41:52.000They didn't come up to the czar, Nicholas II, and they didn't come up to the royal family and say, you guys are great people, but you just don't know where we need to go.
00:42:36.000I don't think at the end of the day it was about these little demographic things.
00:42:39.000Those things tend to work themselves out.
00:42:42.000It was that he never wanted to challenge the system.
00:42:45.000And to me that moment characterized that aspect of it.
00:42:48.000And that moment he gave her a pass and he gave the whole system a pass.
00:42:52.000Now, contrast that with the hypothetical performance where Bernie Sanders gets on the debate stage, and he throws everybody under the bus.
00:43:01.000And he says, you know what, Barack Obama was not liberal enough, and Joe Biden and all these people are corrupt, and Hillary Clinton lost, and she was wrong, and the party was wrong.
00:43:12.000Imagine if he came back in 2020 with a vengeance, and said, we lost in 2016.
00:43:29.000And we lost because she was corrupt, and she's not a real liberal.
00:43:33.000And look at what she said in 2008, and what she said in the 90s, and look at the Clinton crime bill and all that.
00:43:40.000Imagine if he went on a war path, not just against Trump and the Republicans, but against the Democrats and the establishment there and the media.
00:43:48.000It would have been a totally different story in 2016 and in 2020.
00:44:30.000And the moderator turns to Elizabeth Warren immediately after and says, uh, so how did you feel when Bernie Sanders told you that a woman can never be president?
00:45:11.000Will not defend themselves, will not go on the attack, and fundamentally somebody that's not a real revolutionary willing to challenge the system.
00:45:19.000And people compare Bernie Sanders to Trump all the time, but that was never true.
00:45:24.000That was very superficially true, and I saw this from the start, by the way.
00:45:28.000A lot of very amateur-type people were always comparing Bernie to Trump.
00:45:52.000But the difference is that Trump actually went in and challenged the establishment.
00:45:57.000There are some other differences which I'll get into, and more on what I tweeted today, is when you compare the two debate performances, and even this was going around left-wing Twitter earlier this year,
00:46:08.000Particularly after that moment in the January debate.
00:46:11.000It was going around on left-wing Twitter even this year, a clip from a Trump debate back in the Republican primary in 2016, when Trump told Jeb Bush, he said, shh, quiet, or something to that effect, right?
00:46:26.000He starts getting booed by the audience.
00:46:29.000And Trump says, the only reason they're not loving me is because that's the donors and special interests out there.
00:46:37.000You want to know who gets the tickets I'm talking about for the debate audience?
00:47:34.000He didn't get up there and say, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.
00:47:38.000He got up there and said, George Bush.
00:47:40.000And he got up there and said, all the presidents for the past 30 years.
00:47:44.000And he said, the people on this stage with me.
00:47:46.000And Lyin' Ted, and Little Marco, and this one and that one.
00:47:50.000And thinking like that is why we're in the Middle East for 30 years.
00:47:53.000And he broke with the party on a lot of issues.
00:47:57.000And, you know, aside from just the boldness, aside from just the fact that he was pugnacious and actually willing to fight and challenge the establishment, beyond that, if you looked at the issues, they were issues that were popular in his party.
00:49:09.000And so in that sense, that's another aspect of it.
00:49:12.000When Trump got on the stage and had a militant message that was against the establishment and it was pugnacious and aggressive and bombastic, it was also highly calculated.
00:49:49.000The last president that was a Democrat, Barack Obama, who won states like Ohio and Indiana and Iowa and in all kinds of states in the Rust Belt where Trump won,
00:50:01.000Barack Obama was not there on any of those issues.
00:50:07.000He won by opposing gay marriage, he won by actually being moderate in a lot of areas, he won by saying that people would be able to keep their doctor, keep their plan, right?
00:50:20.000He was very careful in 2008 when he sold Obamacare to say, you're going to keep your doctor, you're going to keep your plan, in other words, you're going to keep your private insurance in some cases, we're still going to have private healthcare, and there's not going to be disruption, it's not going to be radical, right?
00:50:35.000And so in a lot of ways, what Bernie Sanders did wrong is he didn't challenge the system, didn't challenge the establishment, wasn't pugnacious, didn't call out the problems in his own party, and beyond that, even the message that he was preaching was not calculated.
00:50:52.000It was legitimately appealing to a very small percentage of the electorate.
00:50:57.000You know, all the things that they said about Trump, which turned out to not be true, were true about Bernie Sanders.
00:51:03.000For example, when they talked about the ceiling for Trump, I don't know if you remember this, but back during the GOP primary in 2016,
00:51:11.000They talked about how Trump, he was always number one in the polls, and he had these big rallies and whatever, and all the media and the pollsters would say, well, Trump is number one, and Trump has been number one, and Trump continues to rise, but he's got a ceiling.
00:51:27.000He's going to run into a hard ceiling.
00:52:54.000They crafted this narrative about Bernie Sanders that he was this one to watch, he was a sleeping giant, he was this grassroots legend, he was the spirit or the base of a new Democratic Party.
00:53:22.000And the Democrats are going to have a real problem in 2020 because they do not have a folk hero, you know, outsider who's going to challenge Trump and Bernie, and they do not have a competent middle-of-the-road candidate in Biden.
00:53:39.000And then that's what's so funny is there were these two arguments about the Democratic nomination or these two schools of thought on the Democratic side.
00:53:49.000That either you go with Joe Biden, and he's the guy that can beat Trump, or you go with Bernie Sanders, and he's the guy that Democrats are actually aligned with.
00:53:57.000And it turned out that neither of those things were true.
00:54:00.000There is no candidate that unites a Democratic Party ideologically.
00:54:04.000There is no candidate that's actually, you know, gonna bring the party together on the issues.
00:54:09.000That does not exist in Bernie Sanders.
00:54:11.000They did not rally behind Bernie Sanders.
00:54:35.000Am I going to go for the folk hero outsider who is leading the revolution and is going to make the country actually left-wing who I agree with?
00:54:44.000Or am I going to go with the completely competent moderate who saved
00:54:49.000The auto industry with Barack Obama who can beat Trump.
00:54:54.000It's like you could vote for the guy with dementia who's dying and who doesn't know where he's at and who will lose miserably and who nobody's really excited to vote for and who isn't even all that moderate actually when you look into it a little bit.
00:55:08.000Or you could vote for the guy that's crazy and a radical that, you know, probably a bunch of young people memed into existence and
00:55:14.000The only reason people thought he had a chance is because the nominee was just that bad in 2016 and people wanted anything else four years ago.
00:55:22.000Those were your real options all along.
00:55:24.000So it's very funny to me to see this development.
00:55:27.000Bernie Sanders dropping out and we can finally deliver a good post-mortem on that.
00:55:33.000And to me, I think Trump is just gonna win now.
00:55:37.000I think Joe Biden would have no problem losing on his own.
00:55:53.000I don't even mean competent in the sense that he is good at what he does or efficient at what he does.
00:56:00.000I mean he is not competent in the sense of his mental faculties are not there.
00:56:29.000But beyond that now, the other thing is, what are you going to do with all these Bernie Sanders people?
00:56:35.000You're going to have a not insignificant number of Bernie Sanders people who are going to revolt.
00:56:40.000In a lot of these states and they're not going to rally around Joe Biden.
00:56:44.000They're going to vote third party or they're going to stay home and I'm sure a lot of them will vote for Donald Trump.
00:56:50.000That's going to be another aspect of it too where I think Joe Biden's really just toast.
00:56:54.000I think it might actually even be worse than 2016 because in 2016 you had this beat Trump at any cost kind of mentality and I think in a much bigger sense you had this Bernie Sanders voters rallying around the party
00:58:11.000I think this has basically paved the way for an easy four more years for Donald Trump, which is very exciting.
00:58:18.000But I will say that today was glorious just to watch all the salt, and it really does feel in some ways like 2016 again to see all these miserable people weeping and crying, and I imagine all these young people that they were so excited.
00:58:34.000I just gave my whole paycheck to Bernie Sanders!
00:59:01.000People that can't get the job done, constantly bound up by political correctness and pronouns and trying to appease various warring militant tribes within their own party.
00:59:15.000And this really makes us revise our theory of the electoral winter.
00:59:19.000Because for so long, the governing wisdom of our movement has been, Texas goes blue and it's over, right?
00:59:27.000Within ten years, the Democratic Party is going to, because of their demographic advantage, they're never going to lose an election again.
00:59:35.000But you see what's going on with the Democrats, and, I mean, they really have become
00:59:41.000On a problematic level, completely dysfunctional, because of these things.
00:59:46.000Because their party comprises this completely dissonant, this cacophony of militant tribes, of sexual orientations, and religions, and ethnicities, and races, and legal groups, right?
01:00:02.000All these different clans that are easily upset, and, you know, and they've got their own advocacy groups online, and
01:00:10.000If you say one thing, CARE is going to get upset, and if you say one thing, the Jews are going to get upset, and if you say one thing, the gays are going to get upset, and if you say one thing, the women are going to get upset, or the blacks are going to get upset, or the Mexicans...
01:00:23.000Or the whites, you know, and there's no way that you can please all these groups, and especially not when everybody's ratcheted up so high with the, you know, this tense, neurotic, political language, right?
01:00:37.000So I really do believe we're gonna have to make serious revisions to this electoral thinking after this election.
01:00:43.0002016, you might say, could have been a fluke.
01:00:47.0002020, you might have said, was the last one.
01:00:49.000I think this is a systemic dysfunction in the party that is not going to get better.
01:00:53.000I think it's going to get worse as time goes on.
01:00:56.000And mark my words, these fault lines in the party, I don't see those getting better.
01:01:01.000I mean, what in the next four years do you foresee happening that all of these deep divisions, these deep problems and deep dysfunctions
01:01:12.000What do you see bringing those back together?
01:01:14.000What do you see in the next four years happening that's going to ameliorate those problems, that will mitigate those problems, that will prevent them from getting worse, if anything, right?
01:02:18.000But I see these problems getting worse and worse and worse and you know they'll put up a good candidate one year but I think it's a lot more competitive than we thought for the past few years.
01:02:29.000I think it's a lot more dynamic and I think there is a much bigger window of opportunity than people think.
01:02:35.000People see the Democrats as like this machine that's on their way and certainly there is a demographic advantage cooked in and I understand that.
01:02:44.000But I do mean to say that these dysfunctions are something to watch and something we should exploit and take advantage of and be opportunists about.
01:02:51.000And we should never not play to win because those things are always out there.
01:02:56.000People say, you know, Nick, why should I not get blackmailed about politics?
01:03:00.000Nick, we're never going to vote our way out of this.
01:03:02.000And various, excuse me, various things like this.
01:03:07.000There's no future for us in electoral politics.
01:04:33.000For all the single mothers and college kids that are in debt and all the blacks, or rather all the Hispanics and others, sorry, no refunds.
01:04:45.000This is America, only the blacks get welfare, alright?
01:04:49.000I saw some meme today, and it was so funny, some meme about Joe Biden.
01:04:55.000It was Joe Biden in a car, and let me see if I can pull it up.
01:05:03.000And it was funny because it was so true.
01:07:45.000Yeah, I don't know if you saw that, but
01:07:48.000During that speech at that National File event, I got up, I gave this impromptu 10-minute speech, and this girl, who I'm told was from the SPLC, at some point during the speech, she walked by the stage and threw her glass at the stage, very dramatically, and walked out.
01:09:09.000Well, thanks for the ninja guinea, Justin.
01:09:12.000I hope it happens, and I hope he makes it happen.
01:09:15.000The real trickle-down economy is the government gives you corona welfare, the government gives the America First NEETs corona welfare, and the America First NEETs give a little bit of their corona welfare to me.
01:09:32.000And that is the real trickle-down economy.
01:09:36.000As you've got a horrible pandemic, the government cuts a check, you give me $10 of it, and then we're all rich.
01:09:44.000And then I funnel that into the movement, the movement grows, right?
01:09:48.000That's the real trickle-down America First economics.
01:11:16.000Behind a block, they have to open it up in an incognito window or go into an alt account.
01:11:22.000And they watched my career from behind a block just so they could ankle-bite and snipe and whatever.
01:11:28.000And you know there's some prominent ones, there's lesser-known ones, but there really is this phenomenon of Nicholas J. Fuentes Derangement Syndrome of people that, and these are not real objections, these are not real problems, these are made-up problems, where people will take literally anything I do
01:11:46.000We're all in quarantine for five weeks.
01:12:16.000Number one to kill the time, and it was just like a funny, fun thing to do.
01:12:24.000People are out there acting like, you know, I've got Lego structures all over my house, and I'm a Lego guy, and I'm, you know, Lego poster, and I'm like, hi guys, look at my Legos.
01:12:34.000Like, everybody knew what that was about.
01:12:36.000It's all, you know, we're all bored during quarantine, we're all stuck inside, what are you gonna do?
01:13:42.000People are out there, I hope Nick Fuentes gets poor, I hope Nick Fuentes is irrelevant, I hope Nick Fuentes is X, Y, Z, never gonna happen!
01:13:52.000Because you're a loser, and I'm a winner.
01:17:21.000The movement will be when we all move to South America and we start a Christian commune called Nickstown.
01:17:31.000And we all we all live together all the content creators and super chatters and friends the show like and it'll be the movement of Of us from here to there and I think that'll go very well Commando chicken says I really like the instrumental on the new music.
01:21:59.000Yeah, I will be mean to girls online, actually.
01:22:02.000I will be mean to whores online, actually.
01:22:08.000Yeah, bro, you're like really based for being mean to e-girls.
01:22:15.000Uh, yeah, we are actually unironically that So JD he's just racking them up rack him up big guy Blank emotes his birthday brush moment kind of sad though.
01:26:10.000Thanks for the Ninjagini Yeah Well, you know the idea is is simply this It changes how we think about our lives and this is a very This is kind of like the question which is to say that For all of human history we have scarcity and
01:27:08.000What does society look like without work?
01:27:10.000And I don't mean that people aren't working, but you know, when the American economy is 67% service-based and it's this information revolution and most people's jobs isn't actually building or making or actually literal, physical, the scientific
01:27:25.000It's just like you know clickety-clack on the keyboard What what does that mean for us because take away work and you take away physical strength you take away?
01:27:35.000Expertise you take away this division of labor between men and women like it totally inverts society technological progress has inverted society and changed lots of things where Now that people are not working in farms or factories or in some cases even at all
01:28:31.000But then beyond that the question about technology you know that that to me is like the big question is if hypothetically we enter into the singularity period not like the AI singularity but let's say we enter into this period where automation is kind of done away with most work and labor saving taken to the extreme gets us to a point where
01:30:08.000And capitalism and technology, these sort of two handmaidens, are the most chaotic and disorderly and disruptive forces in human history.
01:30:18.000What is more disruptive and what is the biggest enemy of stability and preservation than technology?
01:30:26.000Technology which radically changes everything every so many years and at an exponential pace.
01:30:33.000You know, think about something like the car.
01:30:36.000And how much society has had to change because of the car, because of the automobile.
01:30:40.000Think about how much society has had to change because of television or because of radio and all these different things, all these new technologies.
01:30:49.000It is something that increases the velocity of a society in a certain, and this is maybe an abstract or difficult concept to wrap your head around, but you think about
01:31:00.000Before the industrial technological age, which is you know, really like before the 18th century and Life was kind of like the same all the time always
01:31:12.000And if you had technological improvements, it was slow and steady.
01:31:17.000And that allowed for people to kind of live predictable and orderly lives in like a feudal setting or in a city setting, right?
01:31:25.000But now that you have this technology stuff, it's like the life that I'm living is different than the life somebody who was born 10 years before me was living.
01:31:34.000And their life is different than the boomers and different than and radically different every year, every decade.
01:32:47.000Industry, technology, information, and then capitalism is kind of the
01:32:51.000Background of all of this, you've got this idea of creative destruction of companies and technologies and systems that are constantly being destroyed and replaced.
01:33:04.000Constantly, you know, a stronger, better competitor with a better product, a better technology, a better patent comes in and wipes them out.
01:33:12.000And jobs are lost and ways of living are lost and something new comes in and
01:33:17.000And just basically all of this frenzied activity is just so, and that's the word, it's disorderly.
01:33:27.000That that is kind of the enemy of tradition.
01:33:29.000How do you maintain a traditional way of living if things are changing?
01:33:37.000If things are changing at such a rapid pace, it's the scope
01:33:41.000It's the pace and it's the scale that all horizontally across the society things are changing, vertically things are changing, and at a rapid pace.
01:33:53.000You know, it is like change in three dimensions and on steroids with technology and capitalism and industry.
01:34:02.000And all of that change is the enemy of an orderly and stable and hierarchical society.
01:34:11.000It's wiped out families, it's wiped out communities, it's wiped out the nation state, and instead we have this atomized individualistic bottom class, and then you've got this managerial elite that lords over it.
01:34:25.000Like, that is a big problem for us as conservatives that we have to figure out.
01:34:29.000How can you at once be a conservative and say that you're in favor of all these things, but at the same time say that you're in favor of radical, radical, radical change?
01:34:40.000You know, like social media, one way to look at it is that has the possibility to create major societal instability.
01:34:49.000And is something like societal instability a good thing for a conservative?
01:41:20.000Maybe I'll check it out just because everyone's talking about it, but typically when things get to that level, I'm like, I have no interest.
01:41:27.000I'll stick to watching the prequels over and over again.
01:41:30.000Harley says, you think there is a realistic possibility China faces repercussions?
01:41:42.000I think there is a realistic possibility.
01:41:45.000But that'll come after we get a handle on our situation domestically They call me JD says nibbas be like no darky malarkey music.
01:41:54.000Yeah, some of you white toys Don't get it some of these cringe white toys JD.
01:41:59.000They can't hear music the way we can Bud sack says Nick, please don't start your show till Tucker's over No, why don't you just watch my show?
01:43:09.000Maybe that's true, but from the article I read, it didn't say anything about the DoD.
01:43:14.000It said that they bought a million masks from China, and the Drudge headline did say, you know, DoD gives a million masks, but I didn't see that in the article.
01:44:16.000The newspaper changed the headline shortly afterwards to read, Israel brings a million masks from China to IDF soldiers downplaying the role of Washington.
01:44:26.000Okay, but it doesn't say that there is a role from Washington, right?
01:48:36.000So, Lyndon Johnson, I mean, he didn't get voted out, but he knew that he wasn't going to win again.
01:48:41.000So, I mean, it's virtually the same thing, I guess.
01:48:44.000So, on a technical level, like, that happened.
01:48:49.000Was the Gulf War still going on when Bill Clinton won in 92?
01:48:54.000That is a question I'm not sure the answer.
01:48:58.000Obviously FDR was all throughout World War one Wilson in World War or I'm sorry FDR in World War two Wilson in World War one in the Korean War Truman won in what he succeeded Roosevelt in 45 won in 48 Did he yeah, I think and then he gave it up after that right did Eisenhower face in 52 I don't think it was Truman, right?
01:49:25.000And no, the Korean War started in 53, right?
01:49:57.000Election of 52 No, he beat Adlai Stevenson, right So, let me think then not World War two then you'd have to go way back you'd have to go way back to like 19th century I'm not gonna know about the 19th century.
01:50:19.000So so yeah, I don't I don't think that's ever happened except for Vietnam and
01:55:23.000Healthy snack cuz I like to munch on something But I also don't want to prepare anything and I don't want to eat like shit, you know, so what's a good like?
01:55:33.000middle-of-the-road snack That yogurt bar seems like a good idea Maybe just yogurt in general Let's see sedentary says I feel like the environment was meant to unify the left, but it's feeling terribly
01:55:47.000Yeah, I think that was the intention and it is not working.
01:58:42.000Bell curve is one that people recommend it's not really like, you know, that's not like the end-all be-all There was one book I ordered from Amazon that never came if somebody told me was like the definitive one But it just never came in the mail.
01:59:01.000I Don't know the name off the top of my head it was I

02:00:26.000Yeah for real Optics respecters as we have begun to discover too late that you cannot serve God and mammon is literal as well.
02:02:58.000I had a pretty good high school career, but there are definitely, there's definitely things that, you know, there's definitely things, there's definitely things that, you know, things that, you know, just can't, you can't go back.
02:03:13.000You cannot go back and just can't go back.
02:04:15.000I remember in high school, there were so many things that I did that were probably just straight up unethical, but I just did them because I was like, look, I'm in high school, you get to be young once, and I'm gonna do it.
02:04:51.000And that was totally the wrong thing to do but you know is the right thing to do because oh You're not gonna have one euphonium at the marching band thing.
02:05:00.000I'm never gonna get these years back I want to do Model UN.
02:06:41.000Like, my junior year was the first year I did Extemp, which is extemporaneous speaking, and that event for speech team is you go in in the morning, you pull out a slip of paper, which is a topic that you have to speak on, and you get 45 minutes to write a 10-minute speech, and you give that speech three times.
02:07:06.000That's the that's the basic structure of it is for extemporaneous speaking now is my speech team event you go in in the morning you get your slip of paper you write your speech for 45 minutes
02:07:18.000And it's tricky, too, because you get 45 minutes to prepare your speech, but it has to have six sources, six citations, which includes date, source, and information.
02:07:29.000So, you know, you'd write a note card, and your note card would include an introduction, a conclusion, three body points, and each body point would have two citations.
02:07:38.000You'd have to memorize, you know, New York Times said on October 12, 2015, blah blah blah,
02:07:44.000CNN reported on this this of us six citations you'd have to memorize and put together coherent speech Memorize and write a seven-minute speech in 45 minutes kind of a tricky thing and the way a lot of people would do it because they were You know idiots because they weren't a genius like me is they would come in and they'd have pre-written speeches They'd have a pre-written introduction a pre-written conclusion.
02:08:06.000They'd use the same sources They'd pre-write and you know memorize certain speeches and then they go in and they do a totally
02:08:18.000But I would go in because I was awesome, and I would just write a brand spanking new speech every week that was epic and funny and insightful, kind of like this show.
02:10:37.000Then we went to a conference and, you know, the top ten people make finals, and then there's a finals round, and then on the finals they assign, you know, first, second, and third.
02:12:09.000He was in finals and during one of the speeches.
02:12:11.000He's saying he did his introduction He likes saying a song and I'm just like shaking my head like you think that's gonna beat me You think you're gonna sing your way out of this one.
02:12:21.000You know you're talking to you know so
02:12:25.000Anyway, so maybe I would have stayed in Speech Team for another year, but then again, it was all these women and homosexuals on my team, and that's what it was like in all the other schools too.
02:14:21.000Dak says let's be honest, that yogurt bat bit was an ad?
02:14:24.000I don't know what you're talking about.
02:14:30.000Baseless accusations for the Kings coffers.
02:14:32.000Thank you Coltis Gordon says this nibba controlled by big yogurt big yogurt China viruses dots pretzels best pretzel ever Okay Banging your mom says OMG Bernie.
02:14:47.000Dr. Panther den at 1130 drop Yeah, I don't know what this says
02:14:53.000TasteLikeChicken says, have you seen the Russell report on DLive?
02:15:53.000I get a week off, and even when I get a week off, I gotta do stuff, and I gotta talk to people, and I gotta, you know.
02:16:00.000Millennial Matt is making me get on a mountain, and we're hiking, and there's mountain lions, and this Millennial Matt's a real scoundrel.
02:16:08.000I went on vacation with him last July,
02:16:13.000And we're on this mountain, and I'm getting altitude sickness, and his place is filled with spiders.
02:16:21.000And he's like, oh yeah, I didn't tell you, but this place is infested with spiders.
02:16:26.000There's spiders crawling out of my shoes, spiders crawling out of my bed.
02:16:30.000I literally made the bed wet with raid, because I would rather die than have spiders crawling on me when I'm sleeping.
02:16:40.000So yeah, I'd casually empty my shoes out of spiders, and then we'd go hike in the mountains, and he would say, oh yeah, there's mountain lions in here, really big ones, and you know, they can actually stalk you for up to an hour and you can't hear them, and what they do is they jump on your back and scratch you with their hind legs.
02:16:59.000And then he almost stepped on a rattlesnake and died, that was great.
02:17:04.000And he was saying a lot of that stuff to freak me out, but it was also true, there were mountain lions there, we saw the tracks.
02:17:10.000So, this guy gets me into some adventures.
02:17:14.000He gets me into some adventures, this guy.
02:17:18.000Now, if summer vacation was going to the park and, you know, hanging out, riding my bike to the park, getting a Slurpee at 7-Eleven and candy, vibing, walking around the park with the homies, walking around the plaza, getting ice cream from Burger King, and hanging out at the park, just walking, you know.
02:17:39.000I'm playing Super Smash in the cool basement and now I don't get a summer vacation.
02:21:26.000There were... I'm thinking of naughty, naughty images.
02:21:31.000There was a... Look, I'm an eccentric guy, okay?
02:21:35.000So, when I think back to middle school crushes... Okay, let's not get too into detail on that, but one of them... Well, I don't want to be too explicit in case, you know, a neighbor is watching or something, but one of them flipped teams!
02:21:54.000And I don't know where she's at now with that but there was a time in high school and she was like a lesbian That was one of them.
02:22:01.000She wasn't like a lesbian though in middle school She was just like a normal person and then she's like then she turned she flipped over So there was that one And then the other one was a crush from grade school And I don't know if she ever became a whore.
02:22:16.000I don't I don't really follow up with her in high school.
02:23:06.000Whatever whatever I'm not I'm not I'm not resentful about that But don't you see but don't you see and that you know, that's middle schools.
02:23:14.000That's like ancient history, but In high school, it's different because in high school, it's like you're talking about you're talking about like your standard stock You're talking about like your your prime rib Okay, you're talking about cheerleader quality and then that can't really go wrong with that except for like whore right or like
02:23:32.000Why would you open chest when title is no refunds?
02:23:57.000Well, on that note, that's our last Super Chat.
