00:02:01.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Monday.
00:02:05.000We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
00:02:09.000Another big show out here in L.A., and our featured story tonight will be talking about Donald Trump's truth social, which was kind of going off earlier today, I think in the morning.
00:02:25.000And I posted a little bit about this on Telegram this morning but I wanted to spend a little bit more time talking about it tonight because it's a very important thing and obviously super relevant to what's going on over the last three months.
00:02:43.000This has kind of been like the most, the idea that Trump is cucking is kind of like the most significant development since
00:02:53.000Probably since November, because it totally changes the trajectory of everything, and particularly of our plans.
00:03:00.000And so, for the last three months, as you know, I've been doing the show, and I've been talking a lot about this, that the Trump 24 thing is just, like, not gonna happen.
00:03:10.000I don't feel very confident that he's gonna win.
00:03:17.000And I also don't like the way that his campaign has been going.
00:03:21.000I don't like how anything has been going, really, over the last two years in the Trump camp, and really in the last like five years, really five, six years since 2017.
00:03:34.000But I've noticed something in the last three days.
00:03:36.000I don't know when the first thing happened, but I think this was a few days ago.
00:03:40.000Trump went to some press conference and he said that illegal immigrants are rapists.
00:03:46.000And I know that somebody texted me and said, oh, I thought this clip was from 2016 because it sounded so similar.
00:03:55.000And I think there was one other thing like that, and then today he goes off on True Social, and he calls Ron DeSantis a globalist, and he's going after Club for Growth, which is the Grover Norquist, like, pro-business lobby.
00:04:10.000And it's very clear, I wasn't sure before, but it's very clear now that he is trying to recapture that 2016 attitude and that energy, which is a good sign, because, I mean, that's literally what I told him at dinner.
00:04:26.000When I met with him in Mar-a-Lago, that was exactly what I said.
00:06:30.000So I want to I want to correct a record a little bit about this TMZ thing there is a big report about me and TMZ today where They're talking about this reimbursement.
00:07:40.000And it's also well known that I am working for Ye and
00:07:44.000I'm also relocated to LA and as part of that I got my expenses reimbursed.
00:07:50.000This is just a normal way of doing things so we'll talk about that as well and I'll provide a little bit more insight because you know it's interesting my story is also not even people don't even know the full context so I'll I'll give a little bit of new information a little insight into all that and
00:08:11.000I will say, what's amazing is working with Ye, of course we all know how bad it is with the media, that the news media just makes stuff up and lies.
00:08:22.000But it seems that the more famous you get, the more there is this proclivity for them to just make things up.
00:08:31.000Because as you know, I've been lied about in the press for years, for as long as I've been doing this.
00:08:37.000But what they'll do is they'll take things that I say out of context and they'll misinterpret what I'm saying.
00:11:59.000I had just like the most aesthetic, perfect day.
00:12:02.000Yesterday, I woke up super late, and I was gonna go to church at like 5, and then I was procrastinating, and then I was gonna go at 5.30, and then I was procrastinating, then I was gonna go at... Then I was like, you know what, I'll just go at 7.
00:12:21.000So I go to church at 7, I get done with church, I haven't eaten all day, I go out to Domino's, I get a pizza, I get a box of wings, I come home, I eat the pizza, I eat the box of wings, and then I just crash like instantly, like a baby.
00:12:37.000I get home, I just devour this pizza, and I just like lay down on the couch and I'm just out.
00:12:43.000Then I wake up at 5 a.m., I go out, I get my coffee, I get a box of donuts, I get an egg, ham and cheese sandwich, and I'm just sitting in there, chilling, I put a lot of cream in my coffee, I'm drinking my coffee, I'm eating my donuts, ate my sandwich, I was just chilling, I watched the sun come up, came home, did some work, fell asleep, took a nap, woke up, do my show,
00:13:13.000So I'm really kind of getting into a groove, even though that maybe wasn't the best health decision, even though that wasn't maybe like the healthiest option.
00:13:26.000And I have to say, I put this out on Telegram today, maybe you guys were confused what I was talking about, but today on Telegram this morning, I said I love Mexicans, and I got like 500 downvotes, which is a little bit weird because, you know, I'm Mexican, so I don't know, you know, you do know I'm Mexican, right?
00:13:47.000I put out on Telegram I love Mexicans, and all these people that follow me are like, boo, fuck that, we don't love Mexicans.
00:15:42.000And they do things a little bit differently there, you know.
00:15:47.000But they're there, and that's what counts.
00:15:50.000And then I also see them when I go and I get my coffee and there's always a steady stream of them coming in.
00:15:56.000They come in and they pull up in their pickup truck and they come in and they're all wearing their work boots and they got their sweatshirts on and they're all like a little group and you know some of them got their toolbox or some of them they got the trailer with the landscaping stuff.
00:16:10.000Some of them are business people as well.
00:16:14.000And so, like, just the past couple days, you know, I was at church, and I see them all, and then I crash, I wake up, I go get my coffee, and I see them all coming in, and, you know, they get their coffee, and they're... they're pretty cool.
00:16:27.000And I was thinking, you know, they're not that bad.
00:16:28.000Like, I do, uh... I do love Mexicans, okay?
00:16:51.000And then my other uncle looks like Mexican.
00:16:54.000So maybe I'm biased, you know, because I am, because it is my family, but I was watching the steady stream of them coming in, and they go to church, they go to work, now they do consume government payouts and transfers at a higher rate, you know, that is the thing.
00:17:16.000They pour into the country, and they work these low-wage jobs, and the only way that they're able to do this is because it's subsidized by the government.
00:17:27.000It's something like 63% of Hispanic immigrant households are on some form of government assistance, whether that's the EBT, or it's public housing, Section 8, or it's just straight-up welfare disability, or something like that.
00:17:44.000So we know that this is a subsidized community, like blacks.
00:17:52.000Although Hispanics, I think, work more than blacks, probably.
00:17:56.000It's sort of like a source of tension, because I think Hispanics know that they are on assistance, but they also work, and blacks are really just, like, on assistance for the most part.
00:18:06.000And anyway, so we know there are some problems here, and there's some problems with they don't speak English, and there is this
00:18:15.000There's this concept that they're concentrated in a particular geographic area, so they create these enclaves, and we know that.
00:18:23.000But all that being said, I genuinely do not like when people say that we're haters or something, because I don't hate these people.
00:18:33.000And ultimately, to be very clear about what we're after as a movement and what America First stands for is this.
00:18:42.000I am in favor of shutting down all immigration.
00:18:48.000Close the border to illegal immigration and legal immigration.
00:18:53.000Because, despite the fact that they are good people, despite the fact that these are people who are not, you know, we're all human beings and everything.
00:19:08.000The country is not getting better when it is becoming a majority-minority country.
00:19:15.000Whether you like them, don't like them, whether that's based out of hatred or not hatred or something, the fact of the matter is simple, and I've said it before on the show many times, and you get that, but just to restate it,
00:19:27.000The country is being fundamentally changed at the demographic level, and we're going to get a different country as a consequence.
00:19:34.000The Hispanics, whether they go to church or not, are not like the white people that came before.
00:19:40.000And just like the Italians and the Irish were not like the Germans and the English before them, and just like the English and the Germans were not like the Indians before them.
00:19:55.000If you have a country with one kind of person versus another kind of person, the whole country's gonna be different.
00:20:00.000So the country was one way when the Indians were here, the country was another way when it was all English and Germans, the country was still another way when it was English and German, and then you had the introduction of the Southern and Eastern Europeans.
00:20:12.000And the country will, once again, become different when you have this increasing proportion of Hispanics and Asians.
00:20:21.000And it's not going to be in minor ways, it's going to be in every way.
00:20:26.000The whole look, and the whole culture, and the texture of life, and the quality of life, too, is going to change, and we know this.
00:20:35.000Because the people are different in terms of their capability, too.
00:20:39.000We see that different peoples are able to create different kinds of countries.
00:20:44.000Japan has created a very unique society, and that's because of the way Japanese people are.
00:20:51.000And the Africans have created a very specific kind of society because of the way they are.
00:20:57.000And even in Europe, from Italy in the south to the United Kingdom in the north, the Italians and the English have created two different kinds of societies based on the way that those two different peoples are.
00:21:45.000is the greatest differential in terms of wealth and quality of life between any two countries in the world.
00:21:53.000There is a 2,000 mile border, which is a huge border, and there are no other two countries in the world where there is a greater disparity in the standard of living.
00:22:07.000When you look at any other country in the world, there is no greater gulf that separates the human development of two countries than there is between America, which is, you could say, one of the highest quality of life countries in the world, and Mexico, which is certainly, like, bottom half.
00:22:39.000And that is why increasingly we're getting illegal immigration from these Northern Triangle countries.
00:22:45.000That's why increasingly the immigration is not even from Mexicans, it's from Salvadorians, Guatemalans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, coming through Mexico from south of Mexico.
00:22:57.000It's because that's even truer the further south you go.
00:23:01.000And so America, being the richest, most capital-intense country in the world, most human capital, most entrepreneurial, most productive, it is bordering some of the poorest, most violent, lowest IQ countries on earth.
00:23:17.000And that's why the population transfer goes one way, for the most part.
00:23:20.000There's some gentrification going on in like Mexico City and stuff, but we're talking in terms of the millions of people, we're talking on net, they're coming from south to north.
00:23:29.000And so that's why the immigration is bad for two reasons.
00:23:33.000It's bad, number one, because even if they were high IQ people, even if they were people that came from advanced societies like Japan or China, what is happening is you're still transforming America.
00:24:19.000It's how the introduction of people changes the whole.
00:24:23.000And then you've also got this idea that the people that are coming here objectively come from countries that are having a hard time, to put it nicely.
00:24:35.000With all that being said, though, what must be done is this.
00:24:38.000You have to shut down the immigration.
00:24:40.000You have to shut down people coming into our country.
00:24:44.000And you also have to get a lot of these people out.
00:24:47.000Because a lot of these people came here illegally, recently.
00:24:52.000And you probably can't get rid of anybody that has citizenship.
00:24:55.000I think that would probably be too far.
00:24:58.000But you've got people that came here, and a lot of them are criminals, and a lot of them are here strictly as economic migrants to come here and
00:25:15.000Some of them move back and forth between their native country and here.
00:25:18.000Some of them will work here for a couple decades and move home.
00:25:22.000And, of course, a lot of them intend on having kids so that they can stay here indefinitely.
00:25:28.000And we just have to get a grip on that kind of thing.
00:25:31.000So, with that being said, once we do that, at some point we are going to have to bring the country together.
00:25:38.000And this is the part where I don't like when people call me a white nationalist because it's like, look, the immigration thing is kind of like a done deal.
00:25:48.000We need to shut it down and stop it from getting worse and get a handle on it.
00:25:52.000But as far as the country being transformed from this white nation that it was, like a truly, like a nation,
00:26:01.000When it was a 90% white, 10% black nation.
00:26:04.000Like a white nation with a black minority.
00:26:07.000And there were these immigrant groups in here, but as recently as 1990, half of the country was descended from the founding stock.
00:26:26.000So, in the mid-20th century through to the end of the last century, you had basically a different kind of a setup here.
00:26:36.000It was a truly white nation, which was largely descended from its founding stock, much more coherent in terms of its ethnicity, its heritage, its culture.
00:26:47.000It was transformed a little bit in the 20th century with the white ethnics.
00:26:51.000And then in the latter half, in the final quarter of the century, it was transformed again with all these Hispanics and Asians.
00:27:00.000And so now you've got something like a truly multiracial empire.
00:27:08.000You don't any longer have this sense of solidarity or coherence.
00:27:13.000You can't say that it's one coherent whole in the center.
00:27:18.000It's really more like this 50% white core as the nucleus, with this constellation of ethnic enclaves, with your black group and your Hispanics in the Southwest and in the major cities, and increasingly these Asians.
00:27:36.000And so it's really like a... It's more like a China or like Russia or like some of these other
00:27:43.000Massive countries, massive nation states.
00:27:46.000We've got like a core, which is, you know, that's probably white people in America, specifically like founding stock and maybe these ethnics.
00:27:56.000And then you've got these spokes that go out and connect to a significant black minority, a significant Hispanic minority, a significant Asian minority.
00:28:05.000And so once we shut down the immigration, that's still going to be the dynamic.
00:28:09.000We could probably freeze it like that.
00:28:36.000Once we shut down the immigration, and these things really happen concurrently, once you shut down the immigration and build the wall and make everything airtight again,
00:28:47.000At that point, then, you're going to have to figure out how does America become a great country with this huge diversity, with these new large ethnic enclaves, these new large minority groups.
00:29:30.000The Asians are probably assimilating more than anybody.
00:29:33.000So, how do you retain America's core, while these other groups retain their identity, but also have them be in harmony and have America become
00:29:49.000And that's where I like the yay message of love everybody and this idea of using Christianity to bring everybody together.
00:29:58.000Because to me, and this is me speaking as me, not me speaking for yay, the fact of the matter is, like I said, the demographic change is already baked into the cake.
00:31:11.000And a lot of people hear somebody like Ye or me, and how we talk about how it's really about Christianity, and we want everybody to be Catholic, and we want everybody to come together, and they say, oh, you're a civic nationalist.
00:31:30.000It's simply that the world is a complex place.
00:31:35.000We have to work with what we've got here in America.
00:31:37.000I mean, none of that is going to change.
00:31:39.000And so the question is, how do we work within the current paradigm?
00:31:44.000How do we work with the current demographics we have?
00:31:46.000How are we going to bring the country together and forge a harmony and a peace between the groups and an understanding between the groups and be able to all live good lives?
00:31:58.000The only way you're going to do that is to make everybody a Christian.
00:32:03.000And a lot of the problems that people have with immigration, I do think can be ameliorated by religion.
00:32:12.000I don't know that everybody is going to become a scientist.
00:32:15.000I don't know that all, that these, this 40% of the country, this non-white minority, I don't know that they're all going to become rocket scientists.
00:32:23.000Just like, you know, not everybody is going to become a rocket scientist.
00:32:27.000So maybe they'll work lower-wage jobs, and it does seem that they're forming this underclass, which has some staying power.
00:32:35.000But what we can do is, through religion, we can ameliorate the worst aspects of this.
00:33:39.000And so as long as you're in a place where if you don't care for the diversity or something, as long as you're able to live in a community that you like, and as long as it's rich, and it's prosperous, and it's safe, and you're with the people you like, and everyone's going to church,
00:33:58.000I think you can make a good country out of that.
00:34:00.000And that's lately kind of how I've been thinking, is what are we really after here?
00:34:06.000What realistically is the goal in this century?
00:34:09.000And to me, the immigration is still very much a part of the agenda.
00:34:12.000It's got to be like the first thing that you do, is close the border to legal and illegal immigrants.
00:34:20.000You gotta deputize people, get at least like 15 million illegal immigrants out, you gotta do mandatory e-verify, you gotta crack down.
00:34:28.000Because all that is, is just, it's straight up corruption.
00:34:31.000It's like—and we know why this is happening.
00:34:34.000It's the Democrats bringing people in to vote for them.
00:34:37.000It's the capitalists bringing in their cheap labor source.
00:34:43.000It is, in some sense, Jews and other groups that like diversity and like liberalization and globalization because they benefit from it in other ways.
00:34:53.000I mean, that is happening, and they've said it themselves.
00:34:56.000They've said that liberal internationalism is good for them.
00:36:26.000Day one, you shut everything down, you drop a 50-foot electrified border wall with turrets onto the Rio Grande, and you catapult everybody into outer space who isn't supposed to be here.
00:36:39.000What do you do on day two, when you still have a pretty diverse country?
00:37:13.000The National Guard or the Army, rather than focusing on Trump supporters and creating ISIS in the Middle East or whatever, Russia, or trying to go to war with China, let's use DHS and the NSA and the FBI and the military and the National Guard to go after the scourge of crime.
00:37:38.000You could go into these horrible neighborhoods and you could clean them up in a week.
00:37:44.000It doesn't have to happen for very long.
00:37:46.000You need to have a really brutal period where, you know, looters are just getting, like, shot, okay?
00:37:52.000It's gotta just be, like, the Wild West.
00:37:55.000It's gotta be, like, Tombstone for, like, a little while.
00:37:58.000And it's like, these people are, they're like, alright, you know, I bet, I bet, you know, and then they go and they steal a catalytic converter and then they just get wasted, you know?
00:39:57.000And so, if you can break the cycle of corruption and of mass migration and of these government contracts and regulatory capture that are being abused, and if you can break the cycle of crime and of immorality in these places, you can really start to make America a futuristic country.
00:40:20.000The country can be wealthy without the corruption and without the brainwashing and political crap in the schools.
00:40:57.000I think that I'm an American nationalist.
00:41:00.000We're going to shut down the immigration and then we'll be left with our American country that we're going to have to figure out how it comes together and becomes powerful in the next, in this century.
00:41:17.000Before we even get into the news, yeah, we're out of time.
00:41:24.000I didn't mean to go into a whole rant about all that, but yeah, I mean, the thing is, my ideology is not like hatred of minorities or something.
00:41:39.000My ideology is, look, we gotta be honest about what's going on.
00:41:42.000When I say there's race differences, I don't mean that to be vindictive or nasty.
00:41:46.000I say that because, look, simply saying that white people are the cause of income inequality or wealth inequality or these broad disparities in outcomes between the races, it just isn't true.
00:42:08.000I'm not telling you anything new here, but the point is, I don't say these things to be, and I'm so over the lazy, like, oh, well, you're a white supremacist because you said this, because you said the N-word one time, because you said whatever.
00:43:19.000If we just have a robust security policy, if we just have, if we eliminate the corruption, if we convert these people to Catholicism, we can make this work.
00:44:22.000agricultural laborers in Mexico and they come here and then they'll adopt this like street gang and you know maybe there was a little bit of that Mexico too but they adopt like this black culture you know like the hip-hop and they're sagging their pants and they the chains and all that they're adopting this like Jewish black Hollywood thing and and you have the existence of these like wiggers and all that
00:44:51.000And the problem is, maybe a hundred years ago, immigrants wanted to assimilate up.
00:44:56.000Like, I know that my ancestors wanted to be like the white people.
00:45:02.000You know, my Italian ancestors, they wanted to assimilate.
00:45:06.000You know, my grandmother, who was, I think, a second-generation immigrant from Italy,
00:45:42.000But, point being is, selectively, some of them, the ones that did well, they tried to assimilate upward and to be like the Americans.
00:45:52.000To work hard, and to follow the rules, and to speak English, and that kind of thing.
00:46:01.000And I feel like that there was a pride that the American ethnics took in being that way.
00:46:06.000Certainly there were a lot of criminals and there was a lot of like that kind of thing when we first came to the shore, okay, a hundred years ago, 130 years ago.
00:46:15.000Um, but I think that there was this attitude, and honestly it was because of, like, race.
00:46:20.000I think a big part of it was because of, like, racism, you know?
00:46:22.000It's like, they didn't want to be perceived as, like, some criminal or some drunkard from Ireland or Italy, you know?
00:46:33.000Irish need not apply that kind of thing it largely was like racism that they kind of want to prove themselves or whatever and Then since the civil rights movement, it was like hey, we ain't got nothing to prove We gonna be ignorant and shit and it's like why though?
00:46:47.000I mean, I felt like we were headed in the right direction It felt like we were really headed in the right direction through racism basically through discrimination and racism
00:46:59.000The white people said, hey, none of that Dago business, huh?
00:47:44.000So I feel like that is, and again, I don't really believe in assimilation.
00:47:48.000Like, I don't think that at any point one person is going to be interchangeable with another person.
00:47:56.000I don't think that that, for the most part, ever happens.
00:48:01.000Certainly it can happen within reason.
00:48:05.000But the idea that one day black people are going to wake up and say, we're the same as white people, well, it's not going to happen.
00:48:10.000The idea that Hispanics are going to wake up with black hair and brown skin and they're 5'6", they're never going to wake up and say, I'm white just like you.
00:48:49.000Because not all of them are going to be able to hack it, and those people have got to go to jail.
00:48:53.000And the people that are maybe on the borderline, the people in the middle, well, they need to be religiously inculcated and brought into the church.
00:51:48.000Since parting ways with both guys, not to mention getting effectively cancelled by a bunch of orgs he used to be affiliated with, KW hasn't talked much politics in a while.
00:53:15.000You know, I flew out to LA in the middle of November, and I lived in a hotel for a month and a half.
00:53:22.000And Uber to work every day, and all this kind of thing, and then I move back out here in January, and same story.
00:53:30.000It's like, so the idea that being reimbursed is somehow newsworthy, that's actually just like how, that's actually just how these things work.
00:53:41.000You know, I think any business is not going to force you to pay for travel costs related to the business.
00:53:50.000And also, I believe if you do work, you'd get compensated.
00:53:53.000So, I don't know why that's newsworthy.
00:53:57.000And as far as my total goes, it's actually interesting.
00:54:00.000This is the detail I wanted to provide.
00:54:03.000And I don't want to get too much into the weeds on the dollar amounts because I think that's kind of tacky.
00:54:49.000And the lady goes, OK, do you want me to, like, add that?
00:54:52.000You know, I'm going to say this part, because I'm not going to be embarrassed by this, OK, after this.
00:54:57.000This RNC, you know, if that's how it's going to be, if it's going to be like, hey, every man for themselves, OK, you know, I'm just going to correct the record.
00:55:47.000And so then me and Milo's rooms were on my card for like, I want to say a week and a half.
00:55:56.000And so, I'm doing my expenses at the end of the month, whenever it was, I think in the first week of December, like December 6th, I'm doing my expenses.
00:56:06.000And so, I'm going through all my debits on my card, I'm going through all the transactions, and I see there's like, there's like a, I don't know the exact number, but there was like a $6,000 authorization from that hotel.
00:56:24.000And I was thinking, how is that possible?
00:56:27.000I'm like, we're staying at this hotel, it's like $215, $250 a night for 10 nights.
00:56:34.000I'm thinking this can't be more than $3,000.
00:56:37.000And then it dawned on me, I was like, oh, I must have been getting charged for two rooms.
00:56:44.000But I was thinking Milo was only there for, like, nine nights.
00:56:47.000He was only there for, like, nine or ten nights.
00:56:50.000I stayed probably, like, another week or more after him, because he got fired, of course.
00:56:56.000And so I go and I try to get the receipt.
00:57:00.000You know, I'm looking through my email for the receipt from the hotel so I could parse out.
00:57:05.000I wanted like a line item of the room charges and that kind of thing, but the receipt didn't go to me.
00:57:10.000It went to him because he wanted the reservation on his account so that he could get the points.
00:58:53.000And I get a line item review of the expenses, and so it turns out my card was being charged for my hotel rooms, which was like for 15 days, and for Milo's room, which was like for 10 days.
00:59:22.000But it was like, you know, my room, my room was like, you know, room charge, room charge, room charge, you know, for every night, you know, one night, one night, one night, $200, $200, $200.
00:59:31.000I look on Milo's room and it's like room charge.
01:01:46.000So it's like, so when you put the, and the reason I bring it up like that, the reason I say that is because, you know, they're trying to make it out like, oh, you know, I'm, I'm like cashing in.
01:01:55.000Like that, that's what the article said.
01:02:17.000And the only reason I get into it is when they say, oh, he's being bankrolled.
01:02:22.000Like I'm, like, stuffing my pants with fistfuls of cash or something.
01:02:28.000It's like, I paid for all that out of pocket and then got reimbursed.
01:02:32.000You know, who could afford to quit their job for six weeks and then go live in hotels in one of the most expensive cities in the world for six weeks at the drop of a hat?
01:02:46.000And that's why it's so wrong, because I was really willing
01:02:51.000To go out there and just, and just make, and I didn't even think I was going to get reimbursed initially.
01:02:58.000I thought I was just paying all that out of pocket.
01:03:22.000And I come out here, and it costs a fortune to live like that, to eat out at restaurants, and live in hotels, and Uber to work, to and from work every day like that.
01:03:34.000And I was willing to not only quit my job indefinitely, but also pay out of pocket indefinitely for my own stuff.
01:03:43.000Now eventually I got reimbursed and all that, but that's what I was willing to do at the time, and I was still being very frugal once I was reimbursed.
01:03:52.000And so the idea that I was like, uh, I hate that so much when they say, Oh, Nick is taking advantage.
01:03:59.000Oh, he's, he's being bankrolled or something.
01:04:19.000But, hey, I mean, if he's gonna go and correct the record on the RNC thing, I'm gonna correct the record on this.
01:04:24.000If he's gonna go and say, oh, I'm not with them, it's like, okay, well, I'm not gonna take the hit for your $5,000 hotel wine binge or whatever.
01:04:37.000So that's the scoop on that, and, you know, once again, I don't think that that's even, like, a news story to say that I got reimbursed for travel expenses.
01:04:46.000I mean, it's expensive to travel, you know?
01:04:50.000to be flying around the country like that and and to be dropped into LA and be in the temporary housing setup and all that it's you know it gets expensive and you know $10,000 for six weeks is not that's not crazy
01:05:09.000So, if anything, it's even less, because they said my reimbursement was like $14,700, and $5,000 of that was my loss.
01:05:17.000We're talking about a little bit more than $9,000 for 45 days in Los Angeles.
01:06:07.000And, you know, as far as the 116,000, you know, I'm gonna verify that that was a number that was submitted, which was pretty ridiculous.
01:06:23.000And again, I've got my own feelings on that, but I'm not really in a position to talk about that whole situation.
01:06:31.000That's really, if Milo wants to talk, if he wants to talk about his Christian charity,
01:06:38.000You know, he can explain that one, you know, how you build a campaign, $126,000, 116 plus a 10,000 domain for, you know, 11, 10, 11 days worth of work.
01:06:52.000You know, you can explain how the Christian charity behind that one, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna get into that.
01:07:04.000Because at the time, it was kind of like a difficult situation because everybody was texting me and saying as much, you know, hey, Milo is such a... When people had heard that me and Milo were on the campaign, the Kanye 2020 campaign, that is, they were saying, you know,
01:07:25.000Oh, uh, you need to watch out for his Christian charity.
01:08:55.000If I ever fail or anything at Lauren Southern and all I have left is write my memoir or whatever, do my video, or I say, OK, here's the real story.
01:09:04.000Because I feel like you only do that when you're a failure, basically.
01:09:08.000Or you're so powerful it doesn't matter.
01:09:12.000If I'm ever in a position you guys, you're gonna flip when you hear all the, because there's so many lies about me and so many rumors and people can really say whatever they want to say and the thing is like I can't rebut every little thing and I can't tell the full story because I'm still in it.
01:09:31.000I'm still in the arena and so when you're in the arena you can't go
01:09:37.000And talk about all the inside baseball because you're still, it all still matters.
01:09:43.000Like you're all, you're still building something.
01:09:46.000And the only people that have the luxury of just flaming out and making wild accusations and giving their inside scoop are literally people that are ready to cash their chips in.
01:09:59.000Have you ever noticed that during the Trump administration, you'd have all these guys that would get fired, or they'd flame out, or they'd serve their two years and quit, and then what was their move?
01:10:11.000They write their Fire and Fury, they write their James Comey book, they write their... Once they've flamed out, once they have nowhere left to go, once they have no more moves to make, they're ready to cash their chips in, and what do they do?
01:10:44.000And that is maybe, like, the most frustrating part, because, you know, there's two sides to every story.
01:10:48.000Every story that you've ever heard about me, from, you know, going back all the way to the beginning, from, like, Charlottesville and Cassie Dillon, all the way through to things like this.
01:10:59.000There's two sides to every story you've heard about me, every rumor, whether it's about the Capitol, or it's about my personnel, or it's about my views, or whatever.
01:11:12.000And it's a pretty amazing story, but I'm still in the story.
01:11:20.000It's still unfolding all the time, and it all still matters.
01:11:24.000And so the idea that, you know, and that's why I tell people trust the plan, because the idea that I could sort of step outside the narrative, the idea that I could step outside and break the fourth wall and say, hey guys, Nick here.
01:11:36.000So I bet you're wondering about this this well actually here's my social security number it doesn't work that way and so that's the most frustrating part is like TMZ or whatever you get lied about and because you're still involved in like a high-stakes thing
01:11:56.000Whether it's on a political team, or you're being investigated by the FBI, or you're trying to get on social media, you know, all these different kinds of things, they all come with constraints.
01:12:07.000And... So not being able to say, no, no, here's what really happened, like, this is bullshit, whatever, that's the most frustrating part.
01:12:17.000And stuff like this, you know, I can correct the record a little bit, but I can't even, I can't even go into the whole thing and, you know,
01:12:26.000And it sucks, particularly with people like Milo, because I've known Milo for a few years.
01:12:34.000And from the beginning, people made stuff up about that.
01:12:37.000They're like, Milo made his website, and blah, blah, blah.
01:12:40.000And it's like, for a long time, I was basically just trying to play nice and everything.
01:12:46.000But it's like Milo didn't build my website ever, okay?
01:12:49.000I talked to... I texted him in like 2020 and said, hey, I'm building an alternative streaming platform.
01:13:39.000And then people, oh, he runs the website, blah, blah, blah.
01:13:43.000And it's stuff like that where I'm like, you know, if only you could just... But that's the problem, is you can't fight the battle, like, offensively, but also defensively at the same time.
01:13:54.000You can't create your own narrative while responding to everything like that.
01:14:00.000And sometimes you can't even respond fully.
01:14:03.000Like when Patrick Casey went out and said, oh, Nick Fuentes got his bank account frozen by the feds.
01:14:09.000And I didn't even know that at the time.
01:14:11.000And I had to come out and say, well, it's like kind of true, but also it's not, but I can't really talk about it.
01:14:17.000And everybody was like, oh, you're full of shit.
01:14:19.000And I was like, no, I'm just under a grand jury investigation.
01:14:22.000You can't just talk about those things.
01:14:25.000But you can if you have nothing to lose, if you're flaming out and cashing in, you know?
01:14:31.000Not not to go on like a personal rant or whatever, but it just kind of gets to the whole dynamic which sucks So and and being around certain types like that like You know, I'm not gonna lie like
01:14:49.000The Jewish thing, like, I'll just say this about it.
01:15:18.000It is like the same thing, probably, as working with other kinds of groups.
01:15:23.000You know, not quite the same thing, but in the same way that, you know, I don't want to get into something like racist or whatever, but in the same way that you might work with another group and they might have certain attributes, you would not believe.
01:15:37.000Like, Harley Pasternak texting Yay and saying, I'll send you to zombie land,
01:17:53.000I put something out a few months ago where I said, you have to be on guard about people manipulating you because people manipulate you in ways that you don't even understand.
01:18:02.000And that's why you have to be disagreeable.
01:18:04.000Because if you're agreeable, people will push you around, they will manipulate you in ways you don't even understand until it's too late.
01:18:14.000Jewish people are very good at that, particularly people like Milo.
01:19:08.000Sometimes you just have to not do what people say.
01:19:10.000Even if you agree with what they say, you have to do something else.
01:19:14.000Just, just to prove to yourself that you can, like, that you're still in control.
01:19:20.000And, um, that's why I totally understand Ye.
01:19:25.000Because Ye is somebody who his entire career, I'm sure, has been told, you gotta do this, you gotta say that, you gotta do this.
01:19:32.000And so I'm sure he wants to he has like you know he feels like I don't want to do that or I don't feel like doing that and a certain point you're like you know what I'm just gonna go off I'm just gonna go and go on a rant I can't hold it back anymore and I kind of feel similarly so I keep going back to if you want to understand what it's like watch that movie watch the Elvis movie
01:20:52.000You know, that character is everywhere.
01:20:56.000And then, then when you fire them, then they say, you owe me 20 million dollars, like in that movie.
01:21:02.000You know, then when they get fired, then when you say, the dream is over, you lose your job, I, you know, I don't, I don't want you to handle me anymore.
01:21:10.000Then they say, erm, you owe me all this money.
01:22:52.000That's why I'm about it, because I'm like, fuck all that noise with, like, Trump, where he's surrounded by all these handlers and they're controlling what he's going to say and telling him who to disavow and all this.
01:24:00.000We have to act in such a way where they don't know what our next move is gonna be.
01:24:05.000And we have to rely on faith, and heart, and miracles, and prayer, instead of this, like, you know, Kabbalah, ritualistic magic, and spell casting, and deception, and killing, and all that kind of stuff.
01:24:32.000My superpower, I'm not a very Machiavellian person.
01:24:35.000I'm not even really a very untrusting person.
01:24:37.000My superpower is, I think that I could just wrap my arms around everybody
01:24:43.000And bring them in in a loving embrace even and I'm strong enough to be stabbed a hundred times I'm strong enough to be cut up in the process But I feel like my love and my understanding is big enough to bring everybody in and overcome all the lies all the tricks all the rumors and the conventions and the betrayals and and that kind of thing and be able to exert
01:25:13.000That love on the world, you know that that's that's my superpower because that that's what I rely on as opposed to You know, I got a check and make sure this one's okay, and that one's okay.
