00:05:14.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:28.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:33.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:12.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:16.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:23.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:30.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:38.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:41.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God.
00:07:46.000And to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:55.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:58.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:03.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:09.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:13.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:42.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, blooming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:48.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:02.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:12.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019, when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty, and of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement.
00:09:34.000who through an increasing amount of activism are really going to ensure the future America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:09:54.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:10:06.000My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now.
00:10:15.000My soul and exclusive mission is to go to work for you.
00:10:23.000It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.
00:10:28.000We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.
00:10:34.000So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight.
00:10:47.000I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you. - Saying to me is like, this is probably pretty this is probably pretty cool for you.
00:14:42.000We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.
00:14:46.000We have to want it more than they do, because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us, and nothing will.
00:15:15.000The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
00:15:25.000Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.
00:26:09.000Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:31:33.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian Adams?
00:31:37.000Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:32:02.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.
00:32:13.000The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
00:32:17.000For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.
00:32:28.000Our campaign represents a true existential threat, like they haven't seen before.
00:32:36.000This is not simply another four-year election.
00:32:39.000This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.
00:32:51.000The political establishment That is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
00:33:10.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
00:33:21.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
00:33:39.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation and this will be our last chance to save it.
00:33:47.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system and our system is rigged.
00:37:20.000As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, The respect that we deserve.
00:43:14.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:43:20.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:43:34.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.

00:44:06.000Who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:44:14.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth.
00:48:53.000And yes, together, we will make America great again.
00:49:11.000Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?
00:49:14.000Because I think it's a very mean life.
00:49:16.000I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life, and I also see it as somebody with strong views.
00:49:24.000And somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.
00:49:36.000And that's a sad commentary for the political process.
00:49:39.000And if you have a minute, why don't we go?
00:56:14.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:56:28.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.

01:20:31.000Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.
01:20:35.000When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.
01:20:54.000You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.
01:21:04.000As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God, Then you will not fail.
01:21:15.000As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.
01:22:34.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian?
01:22:37.000our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the american people
01:23:02.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.

01:24:11.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
01:24:22.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
01:24:39.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation, and this will be our last chance to save it.
01:24:47.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
01:28:20.000As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, The respect that we deserve.
01:36:45.000Same senators that shot down Matt Gaetz at DOJ. And as you know, earlier in the year, back in November, Trump nominated the Fox News host and veteran Pete Hegseth to be the Secretary of Defense.
01:37:30.000But this is now the third high-level Trump appointment after Gates at DOJ, after his DEA appointment fell through today.
01:37:40.000This is the third appointment which may not happen, and not because of the Democrats, not for any reason other than that the Republicans in the Senate won't confirm him.
01:37:53.000And there's been a huge liberal media attack on Hegseth over sexual assault allegations and other things.
01:38:01.000And it has ground his confirmation to a halt.
01:38:05.000Now there's at least six Republicans that are threatening to hold out and not vote for him.
01:38:40.000Some say that, especially after today, it's looking increasingly likely.
01:38:46.000But in my mind, it almost doesn't even matter.
01:38:48.000This is a total embarrassment and a total joke.
01:38:52.000And worse, it's a preview of what the Trump administration is going to be like.
01:38:59.000Consider Trump won with a huge mandate, won the popular vote, won a majority of the vote, won an electoral landslide, expanded on the vote from 16%.
01:39:18.000That hasn't happened since 1932. Trump carried the Senate, carried the House, and won the White House, and now his own party won't give him his confirmations.
01:40:58.000The deficits are in the trillions every year.
01:41:02.000And worse, the interest to service that debt has become a problem because interest rates have gone up.
01:41:10.000We had near zero interest rates for about 20 years now.
01:41:14.000Roughly since around the housing bust in 2006, interest rates have been nearly zero and effectively a non-factor.
01:41:22.000And so it was negligible to service the debt.
01:41:26.000But every dollar that goes into the debt, we do have to pay interest on.
01:41:31.000And now that we have an inflation problem, owing largely to the quantitative easing, the money printing, but also the supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine, as well as the deficits, because of All of these terrible economic and monetary policies, we have high inflation, raise the interest rate to slow the velocity of money and bring that down.
01:41:55.000But now it costs $700 billion per year to service the debt with the higher interest rate.
01:45:14.000But today in Manhattan, in New York City, the CEO of one of the largest insurance providers, largest health insurance providers, was literally assassinated by a hitman outside his hotel.
01:45:35.000Knew exactly when the guy was leaving and what door, showed up 10 minutes prior, and just shot the guy in the back with a suppressed pistol and then ran away.
01:45:45.000Very mysterious, and people are wondering why, what happened.
01:45:49.000Some people said, and this is the only interesting angle, I mean, we don't know what happened.
01:45:55.000Some people said, is it, apparently this firm is under investigation by the DOJ. For some reason, he was apparently in town to give a talk to investors.
01:46:11.000So some people are saying it's related to that.
01:46:13.000Some people are saying it was a disgruntled insurance holder who was denied coverage or something.
01:46:22.000And they just pissed off an assassin who killed the guy.
01:51:38.000And poor people, they act like they're so tough.
01:51:41.000It's like some other guy shot some other person you don't know and people think that they're projecting this image of toughness when they say, oh man, yeah, well, that was a good thing.
01:51:53.000It's like you're scrolling your phone in bed and you're proud that some person got murdered in cold blood for some reason you don't even understand.
01:52:34.000Eight, ten years ago, there were these major blind spots.
01:52:38.000The system was so arrogant and filled with hubris and, as a consequence, was making mistakes.
01:52:47.000When all the people rallied against it, there were actually a lot of high-quality people in the opposition, like intelligent people, people that legitimately slipped through the cracks because of affirmative action or DEI or whatever, HR-type stuff.
01:53:04.000And so you could argue that there was actually legitimate anger and legitimate dissent and a lot of it was being articulated in a way that was cogent and intelligent and based on facts and so on.
01:53:19.000And now I feel like the populist movement is completely devolved and it is now appealing only to the lowest common denominator.
01:54:04.000And to me, that guy just represents a crank.
01:54:07.000And I think that he represents a lot of that kind of stuff, but people are willing to believe in it because it just represents anti-establishment politics for its own sake.
01:54:18.000And again, it seems like now it's just a big contest to see who can be the most ignorant and who could be the most backwards.
01:56:50.000But worse, not only is populism no longer an adequate vehicle for well-founded dissent or criticism of the system, but it's also being led astray by pied pipers, and I think that's intentional.
01:57:07.000I think that clearly some of the more sophisticated oligarchs realized that That a large portion of the country, 70, 80 million people that voted for or support Trump, the people that watch Joe Rogan,
01:57:23.000the people that believe in conspiracies, I think, again, some of the more sophisticated elites, maybe they realized that they could harness that resentment and that dissent, that they, if they could wield it, if they could lead it, Could empower themselves.
01:57:43.000And I think Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are two perfect examples of that.
01:57:48.000Donald Trump, I think, is being used in a sense for that purpose.
01:57:54.000And so in 16, I feel like there was something organic.
01:58:13.000At this point, very clearly the lack of trust in the institutions is being taken advantage of and in that sense has truly become a form of demagoguery.
01:58:25.000I know that sounds really cringe, but I think it has kind of gone too far in the other direction.
01:58:32.000And I think the institutions realize that and they're panicking that now, again, some opportunistic, sophisticated oligarchs have realized that a vacuum has opened up.
01:58:43.000The loss of legitimacy of the institutions has created an opportunity.
01:58:48.000And that is what has propelled these people like Vivek and Trump and Elon and Peter Thiel and J.D. Vance.
01:59:07.000They know how to get the crowd on their side.
01:59:10.000And I think now you do have this like these rabble rousers, this populist base.
01:59:16.000And again, like I said, not only are they not any longer really articulating a sensible alternative, but they're actually being used.
01:59:27.000They've actually become the wrecking ball of an ascendant new class of oligarchs that came from technology.
01:59:37.000It's the Silicon Valley, little tech, venture capitalist disruptors, the Marc Andreessen's, the Horowitz's, the Elon Musk's, Peter Thiel's.
01:59:46.000It's these types that are now wielding the popular resentment as a wrecking ball to kind of shake the tree a little bit.
01:59:56.000Not to mix metaphors, but I think they're trying to create a little instability so that they can accumulate more power.
02:00:03.000And that's very clearly what's happening when you see how the message has been manipulated.
02:00:07.000I've been pointing this out over the past week.
02:00:09.000Clearly there is, and for a long time actually, but especially past couple shows, there is an effort underway to blue pill the right wing.
02:00:20.000And it goes hand in glove with what I'm talking about right now.
02:00:24.000There was a time when there was genuine radicalism growing in the populist right, in the Breitbart comments section, with the alt-right, on Gab, on these alternative sites, on 4chan, on Twitter.
02:00:37.000There was an organic and genuine radicalism that was spreading, and the population was sliding down that slippery slope.
02:00:53.000And then they realized it could be useful and they started redirecting it into something else.
02:00:58.000And that's why now Trumpism is about bringing in legal immigrants and just keeping out the violent illegal criminals.
02:01:06.000And that's why it's no longer about ending all the wars.
02:01:10.000Now they're talking about keeping the base in Bagram.
02:01:13.000And now they're talking about we're going to go to war in Iran and all these other things.
02:01:17.000And it's like, okay, so the message has actually changed considerably.
02:01:22.000Anyway, so I've really become skeptical of it.
02:01:26.000And I think we really need to lean into an elite strategy.
02:01:29.000I think that – last thing I'll say, there is a populist delusion, and it affects people in a way that you might not realize.
02:01:40.000People are developing this mental model where they think that we're going to change the country when we use social media to convince a majority of the population to agree with us.
02:01:53.000And then a candidate rises up, and the majority that agrees with us votes for that candidate, and they win the election, and then they change the government.
02:02:03.000And I think that mindset is holding us back because we actually have to dissect the population and realize it's stratified.
02:02:13.000We're not targeting the vast majority of Americans because most Americans are non-white.
02:02:19.000We're not targeting the vast majority of Americans because half of them are women.
02:02:22.000We're not targeting the vast majority of Americans because a lot of them are old and their brains are literally fossilized and they'll never be radicals.
02:02:31.000We are targeting, who is our target audience?
02:02:34.000It's actually probably very young white men.
02:02:38.000It's arguably just young men, maybe mostly young white men, but it's like an under 30-year-old, under 30, 35-year-old crowd.
02:02:50.000But mainly we're targeting an under 30, under 35 crowd of men, mostly white men and high IQ men.
02:02:59.000Okay, men that are high performers, men that probably would go to highly selective colleges.
02:03:04.000That's really our primary target audience at this stage in the game, and that's not even close to half the country.
02:03:11.000It's a very small part of the population.
02:03:14.000And the hope is that if those people become powerful, if 1,000 of them become millionaires or 10 of them become 100 millionaires or one of them becomes a billionaire— Then we can make plays.
02:03:29.000Then we can have an effect on society.
02:03:32.000And I think that's really the only way things are going to change.
02:03:35.000But something that's implicit in the populist delusion is the idea that we're going to get all the people on our side, which means we need a kind of idea that appeals to the lowest common denominator and the most types of people.
02:03:49.000And we got to dumb it down and we got to get it out to all of them.
02:04:40.000You know, when I started to oppose the Wife Jack meme and the wife guy thing and all this stuff, of course, because lately this is how it goes.
02:05:28.000On Monday, I gave you an example that one of the trad girls, one of the trad wives, on the one hand, she was in my replies attacking me.
02:05:38.000Then we found a tweet from two years ago where she's talking about her rape fantasies.
02:05:44.000Yesterday, we covered a tweet with J.D. Vance, maybe the archetypal wife guy, and we showed his Thanksgiving where he had 24 Indians from India present.
02:05:54.000And then today, just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, just when he thought it doesn't get any better when you look at the wife guys and the people that are enjoying the wife Jack meme...
02:06:04.000I saw one of these life coach douchebags tags me on Twitter with this essay, super long post, which is really not fair because they won't even let me get verified.
02:06:15.000So I have the normal character limit still.
02:07:43.000You don't have to like the way I'm saying it, but that's just true.
02:07:46.000I said, and I am a person who wants to resist that.
02:07:49.000I think that it's important for us to be masculine and still be risk takers and still be the boss of the house, even though we have a wife and kids.
02:08:32.000How do we get married and have kids in a society that is changing, where the laws are against us, where feminism seems to be ubiquitous, where chemically we're under attack, where And the guy goes, oh my gosh, you have no testosterone, blah, blah, blah.
02:08:51.000And like I said, it took me all of five seconds to go through his life story and find out this guy had a failed marriage, got remarried in his 30s, and then adopted two black kids.
02:09:03.000And, you know, look, if that is a traditional life to you, Then, hey, congratulations.
02:09:11.000Enjoy the two little niggas singing them wheels on the bus go round and round, man.
02:09:19.000Hey, man, them wheels is going round and round and shit.
02:09:22.000You know, if that's your dream, if your dream is to get married for a second time in your late 30s to a woman who probably also was married and has probably ran through...
02:09:38.000And if you want to marry her and deal with all that baggage, and then you also want to adopt a couple of niggas, and if you all want to get in the car and drive to Universal Studios and sing them wheels on that bus going round and round, and if you fantasize about that and you post a woejack and say, I wish that was me, this is all I ever wanted, hey, knock yourself out.
02:10:02.000But I think most people, when they think about a trad, Chad, Wojak, defender of the sword and the nation, I don't think that's the image they have in mind.
02:10:14.000As a matter of fact, somebody said it was anti-family to even suggest that that happens.
02:10:20.000Ray, one of our clippers, posted a Wojak of the wife guy and the wife Jack, and the kids are all black.
02:11:21.000I'm like, okay, well, does any guy want that actually?
02:11:24.000Because I think if you sat down and took a poll, I think most young men would want biological children from their first wife, not all the rest.
02:12:26.000Is tone police me and attack me disingenuously, say that my faith is fake, call into question my sincerity, and sit around and wait for me to say something like this, and then they can be all sanctimonious and say, that's not Catholic!
02:12:47.000Is that really the image of a Catholic family?
02:12:49.000I think Catholics are supposed to get married young and have lots of biological kids, and then if they have the means, yeah, I think adopting is a charitable thing to do, but clearly people adopt kids who are black for different reasons.
02:13:07.000I think people that adopt black kids late in life who have other problems— And then go and post about it on social media.
02:15:14.000For the next four years is we really need to step up the information war because here's the problem.
02:15:21.000Most people are not going to watch this stream because it's super high IQ. You have to obviously be super intelligent to understand what I'm saying.
02:15:30.000And it's long and it's a slog and it's everyday.
02:15:34.000We really need to make digestible, readable, citable content like articles and short videos with graphics for dummies so that they can watch and follow along.
02:15:48.000Because I have a feeling that most of my audience isn't even getting it.
02:15:51.000So many people in the audience were still voting for Trump and they don't even really understand what's going on with Vance.
02:15:58.000They don't even really understand what Palantir is still.
02:16:02.000So, that's kind of my plan because it's just crazy.
02:16:07.000I'm on Twitter today fighting for my life because this guy's putting me on blast for saying, yeah, isn't it a little ridiculous that the wife guy is...
02:16:18.000Give me a hard time and he's got two adopted black kids.
02:17:20.000He's bringing in a lot of people from Florida and And that's because his chief of staff for the past two years and the chief of staff for the White House is Susie Wiles.
02:18:34.000He ran a couple of non-profits, both funded by pro-Israel Jewish donors, big defender of the war in Iraq, and he's a dispensationalist evangelical Christian.
02:18:45.000He believes in all these end times prophecies about Israel, has a religious worship for Israel, the current state of Israel.
02:20:29.000The logic should be you win the election, you get your cabinet, you win the popular vote, you win the landslide, you flip every county or make every county go red.
02:22:03.000They were 95% anti-Trump in the cycle.
02:22:06.000And if the people overwhelmingly chose Trump, well, what they say shouldn't really matter.
02:22:10.000They're corrupt and they're biased and they're not aligned with the people anyway.
02:22:17.000Well, the media says all this and the Republicans in the Senate believe it.
02:22:24.000Republicans in the Senate, again, who owe their seats and owe their majority to Trump, they're now saying they won't vote for Trump's selection because of the claims that the liberal media is making about him.
02:22:40.000And now, according to the betting markets, he has less than a 20% chance of Of ultimately being confirmed.
02:22:47.000And Trump is considering other options.
02:22:49.000He'll have to pick maybe Joni Ernst or Ron DeSantis or Mike Waltz.
02:22:54.000He's going to have to tap somebody else because Pete Hegseth will not survive confirmation in a Republican Senate.
02:23:02.000Because of what the liberal media said after the Republicans won a landslide election.
02:23:07.000And this is a story from the New York Times.
02:23:12.000Pete Hegseth launched a public campaign on Wednesday to shore up faltering support for his selection as defense secretary, saying in a high-profile interview that President Trump told him, I got your back.
02:23:25.000But even as Mr. Hegseth insisted that Mr. Trump was urging him to fight, the president-elect appeared to be having serious conversations about picking Ron DeSantis.
02:23:36.000Mr. Trump told people close to him that he likes the idea of giving Mr. DeSantis the job saying it would be a big story if he resurrected Mr. DeSantis after defeating him.
02:23:47.000The president-elect also praised DeSantis' ability to run the state of Florida and has mentioned that he is a Navy guy.
02:23:55.000Mr. Trump has privately mentioned Michael Waltz, the Florida congressman he picked as his national security advisor, as another option, pointing out that he would be easily confirmed by the Senate.
02:24:05.000But people close to Mr. Trump believe that DeSantis is his favorite alternative if he decides to abandon Hegseth.
02:24:12.000Speaking with Megyn Kelly, Hegseth dismissed allegations of rape, sexual assault, financial mismanagement, and drunken behavior as a fiction created by Trump's enemies.
02:24:21.000He compared it to accusations against Brett Kavanaugh during the Supreme Court hearings.
02:24:28.000Penelope Hegseth said in the email that her son belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, told an interviewer that she regretted sending the email and that Hegseth was no longer the person she lashed out at in 2018. The most anticipated meeting of the day for Hegseth was with Senator Joni Ernst.
02:24:47.000She is a sexual assault survivor herself.
02:24:51.000She emerged from her closed door meeting with Hegseth this afternoon and told reporters they had a frank and thorough conversation.
02:24:58.000Allies for Mr. Trump said that if Hegseth left the meeting with an endorsement from Ernst, it could have bolstered support for the beleaguered pick.
02:25:05.000They also said if Ms. Ernst refused to back him, it could doom a candidacy that Republicans believe is all but dead.
02:25:14.000Before the meeting, she told reporters she needed to have a very thorough discussion, but no endorsement emerged.
02:25:21.000Senators Kevin Kramer and Lindsey Graham, who are both Trump loyalists, called the allegations disturbing, but they said that he has a chance to tell his side of the story.
02:25:30.000Mr. Trump made clear to people close to him he believes Mr. Hegseth should have been more forthcoming about his problems.
02:25:36.000Hegseth could become the third Trump pick to step aside after Matt Gaetz withdrew his name for Attorney General and Sheriff Chad Chronister pulled out of consideration to lead the DEA. In the past two weeks, Hegseth has been the subject of damaging reports.
02:25:51.000It was revealed he entered into a settlement agreement with a woman who accused him of rape.
02:25:55.000In 2017, he insisted it was consensual.
02:25:59.000And Mr. Trump told AIDS at the time he wanted to stick with Hegseth, but the troublesome headlines only grew worse.
02:26:07.000The New York Times reported on an email his mother wrote in 2018 as he was going through an acrimonious divorce in which she said her son had abused a number of women.
02:26:17.000Hegseth was also the subject of a damning article in The New Yorker, which reported he had been forced out as the head of two veterans groups because of his behavior.
02:26:27.000So, you know, again, here's the problem.
02:27:14.000He was in the White House for four years, and then he was outside the White House for four years.
02:27:18.000He had all that time to find names and to vet people.
02:27:25.000Wasn't this the whole problem in the first term?
02:27:28.000Wasn't that the excuse that Trump gave on Joe Rogan that was well-known among Trump's personnel, which is that when he won the election, he was sort of blindsided and didn't have personnel to fill up the White House?
02:27:40.000And that's why it took so long to make an adjustment?
02:27:44.000And that's why Trump didn't accomplish everything he wanted to in the first term?
02:27:49.000Because he was caught off guard, didn't have the personnel, took time to find them and put them in the right place?
02:28:17.000It's called Project 2025 because the winner of the 2024 election would be inaugurated in 2025. And their cabinet would be confirmed in 2025. So they created a personnel database for the day when you need to fill up the cabinet.
02:28:40.000They found over 14,000 names, including cabinet-level appointees.
02:28:47.000And they were vetted, sorted, categorized, ready to go.
02:28:52.000And Trump disavowed it a dozen times in favor of America First Policy Institute.
02:28:59.000Which did not do that in favor of Agenda 47, which didn't even have white paper.
02:29:04.000It was a Republican Party platform, had a series of videos on it.
02:29:09.000And now he's picking people from Fox News that were clearly not vetted, that had all this baggage, which either they thought they could overcome and they were wrong, in which case that's a problem, or they didn't know about, which is worse.
02:29:26.000So, this characterizes, this is one characterization of the Trump team.
02:31:03.000But this is the incompetence and the mismanagement that you just, again, it's baked in.
02:31:09.000I told you this because I know people that worked in the previous administration.
02:31:14.000I know people that were involved in those discussions.
02:31:18.000And that's why, and Trump himself admitted it, that's why things were the way that they were.
02:31:23.000And I said throughout the election, it's going to be a problem.
02:31:28.000I said throughout the election, on his announcement, go back and watch my review of his announcement speech in November 22. I said this speech is written by Jason Miller.
02:31:37.000It's all the same people and they're horrible.
02:33:34.000It was a Republican-controlled Congress that wouldn't go for it.
02:33:39.000Trump tried to do a lot of things, tried to repeal Obamacare.
02:33:42.000It was John McCain that sunk the repeal of Obamacare by one vote, even though he had campaigned on it for years.
02:33:50.000Isn't it funny, no matter how many votes we have in the majority, whether we have one house or two houses, the White House included, it doesn't matter whether we lose the Obamacare vote by one with a 51-vote majority or we lose the...
02:34:08.000Confirmation of Matt Gaetz by four votes with a 53-vote majority, we're always going to lose with the exact margin that we need to lose.
02:34:17.000Because that's the will of the Republican Senate.
02:34:23.000And so this is the other problem, and this is the blueprint.
02:34:27.000Trump is disorganized and incompetent.
02:34:30.000he's going to make a lot of political mistakes that's not good because the system is still against him so he'll do things like nominate pete hegseth pete hegseth will be attacked by the liberal media the same liberal media that we were told is no longer a factor clearly they still are they're going to dig up everything They're going to put them on blast, just like they did to Matt Gaetz.
02:40:52.000And the next shoe to drop is going to be Tulsi and RFK. If they don't confirm Hegseth, they're not going to bow down on Tulsi and RFK. I don't think so.
02:41:43.000So for all those people that thought, no, no, it's going to be different, truly, it's going to be transformative, the Republican Senate, I hate to inform you, is still what it is, and the media still has a lot of clout, and Trump still hasn't figured it out.
02:44:09.000It says, quote, Vivek told Axios that it would be premature for his new efficiency commission to discuss cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.
02:44:20.000Those programs are by far the biggest lines in the federal budget, making them ripe targets for a commission with a mandate to slash spending.
02:44:27.000But cutting entitlements is the third rail of American politics.
02:44:31.000Ramaswamy said Wednesday that the Department of Government Efficiency will look for waste and fraud in those programs, including people receiving payments who shouldn't be.
02:44:39.000But wholesale cuts to entitlements is a policy decision that belongs to the voters, he said.
02:44:44.000What he's saying, right now there are hundreds of billions of dollars flowing out the door of all those programs ending up in the hands of people who even under the statute should not be receiving payments.
02:44:54.000Trump last month tapped Ramaswamy and Musk to run the new Non-Governmental Efficiency Commission.
02:44:59.000The specifics are murky, but Trump has signaled that he wants to give them authority to cut government bloat.
02:45:07.000Now, just to give you an idea, we are in a debt crisis.
02:45:12.000I think that's a big reason they allowed Trump to win, and everybody knows it.
02:45:26.000And it's becoming a real problem because as interest rates grow, the interest payment that the federal government makes to service the debt is growing and is now relatively close to as expensive as our military.
02:45:42.000Interest on the debt is around $700 billion.
02:45:44.000Military spending is about $800 and some billion, about $850.
02:46:41.000We can't borrow money to pay interest on the money we borrowed.
02:46:47.000So, for example, now the interest is $700 billion.
02:46:54.000Well, eventually the interest on the debt is going to be bigger than the military and then maybe bigger than entitlements.
02:47:01.000And what happens when the money to service the existing debt is equal to or close to or even greater than the amount of money we're taking in?
02:47:11.000That is the definition of a spiraling debt crisis, and there's not many good options to get out of that.
02:47:18.000The United States will never default on the debt because we could print more money to pay the debt, but then that creates inflation.
02:47:25.000People say, well, you print money to pay off your debt, but you pay the debt to treasury note holders.
02:47:32.000You pay down the interest, and when the note reaches maturity, you're paying it to the people that actually hold the debt.
02:47:41.000They get that money, and then they get to spend the money.
02:47:43.000So if you introduce all this new money into the system, and people can then buy stuff with the money...
02:47:50.000Well, there's going to be more money than there is economic development.
02:50:19.000Well, of course, another thing you have to do if you want to pay down the debt is you If you want to get the debt under control, you need to bring in more money, which means either raising taxes or the economy grows.
02:50:34.000And with existing or lower tax rates, you bring in the same or more money.
02:50:38.000And then on the other side, you got to cut the spending.
02:50:41.000The deficit is more spending than revenue.
02:50:44.000So you either need to increase revenue or reduce spending or both.
02:52:00.000Again, you're bringing in $4.4 trillion.
02:52:02.000You're at $5.1 trillion in spending between interest...
02:52:07.000Entitlements, which you cannot touch, and the military, which will not be touched.
02:52:11.000You already have a trillion-dollar deficit.
02:52:14.000Then you have other discretionary spending that goes to everything else, that goes to education, energy, that goes to transportation, every other thing.
02:52:24.000So when Doge comes in and says, well, we're going to fix the debt crisis, we're going to make cuts, but not to entitlements, and certainly not to military...
02:53:19.000That's like a boring issue that everybody realizes is a problem.
02:53:23.000They're not even willing to touch the programs that you would need to to get it under control.
02:53:30.000I hate to break it to you, but this administration won't even deliver any kind of relief on the debt, let alone the invasion, let alone World War III, let alone the foreign influence peddling, let alone any of the other problems.
02:55:44.000They remained in Iraq and Afghanistan.
02:55:48.000And we actually did more artillery and more air campaigns than in a very long time.
02:55:54.000Just like now, they're talking about sending Marines into Gaza to free the hostages, just like now.
02:56:01.000Mike Waltz says that they're working hand in glove with the Biden administration against Russia and talking about implementing the same policies, letting Ukraine use long-range missiles inside Russia.
02:57:27.000I was thinking, and I said this the other night, I was thinking if Kamala wins, that would be the true accelerationist position because the country would be in free fall, the institutions would be delegitimized, and maybe we could have a real figure rise up that could change the rules.
03:04:51.000Then they'll do a proffer, then they'll do a plea deal, then they'll do something.
03:04:55.000But if they have a case against you, they will bring you in.
03:04:58.000They will arrest you, they will charge you.
03:05:00.000If they don't, then they'll interview you.
03:05:03.000If they're interested in you, if they're building a case against you, and If they don't really have it yet, if it's not complete, if it's not a good case, then they'll fish.
03:05:15.000Then that's when they start to shake the apple tree and they start to see what comes out.
03:05:23.000Say, hey, we just want to get your side of the story in the hopes that you'll say something that completes their case and then they get you.
03:05:31.000In other words, they'll only talk to you if they need something to nail you.
03:05:35.000They will only talk to you if they need something because they don't have it yet to nail you.
03:05:44.000So if you think, oh, they're talking to me, I'm innocent.
03:05:47.000No, they're interested in you, and they're hoping you're going to give them what they need to complete their case, and they're coming there to get it.
03:09:10.000It does not deserve legitimacy, let's put it that way, for treating its citizens this way.
03:09:16.000These abominable fucking animals that don't pay taxes, these dregs of society that are nothing but a drain on resources, these fucking ignorant losers, they don't work, they're not productive, they don't do anything, they're not good citizens, they're predators, they're opportunists, the laws protect them.
03:09:39.000They have advocates in the judicial system.
03:09:44.000They have advocates in the political system.
03:09:47.000It is law-abiding, upstanding, decent people in society that stick up for other people, decent people that believe in law enforcement, that talk.
03:10:00.000Someone like Daniel Penny goes and throws this fucking animal to the ground because the cops wouldn't do it because the politicians won't stand by the cops and let that happen.
03:10:11.000So Daniel Penny did the job that the cops should have been doing, that they're paid to do, but the cops are told to stand down.
03:10:17.000Not only does he get penalized, but he's really going to get raped because he trusted the cops and thought they were on his side.
03:12:36.000If you run away from the cops and are on welfare, you will have less trouble from the cops than if you're a law-abiding citizen that gets like a speeding ticket.
03:22:21.000What's this strange phenomenon where people, after having a falling out with Nick, don't move on with their lives, but instead dedicate all their energy, time, and social media presence solely to hating on Nick?
03:22:30.000Like damn get a job or something nigga?
03:26:37.000Sometimes I do it deliberately, sometimes unintentionally.
03:26:40.000It's my favorite thing to just withhold that and you just watch how people shrivel up and die.
03:26:48.000Honestly, it's a real window into human psychology.
03:26:53.000If you just ignore somebody, you don't even have to be mean about it, but if you just withdraw acknowledgement, nothing burns people up like that.
03:28:37.000I wish she would call me and hit me up, tell me what's up.
03:28:41.000I could hook her up with a little Groyper show.
03:28:45.000She's always welcome to be on my show.
03:28:48.000She's always welcome to be on my show, hang out a little bit at the studio, hang some of the Christmas ornaments, a little Mrs. Claus action.
03:31:05.000I find, generally speaking, at least what I could tell from interviews and even just knowing Jake, they do have a sense of honor because...
03:32:15.000With regards to the push for colorblind meritocracy among the new counter elites, will it be more difficult to push for white identity discursively as dissidents in that kind of environment compared to DEI and explicit anti-white progressivism?
03:32:24.000How important was that for you when deciding to withdraw support for Trump?
03:38:19.000milk isn't very trat of you Nick anyways love you my nigga hell Q Surgeon General Groeper sent five dollars Fuentes you are pro Biden pardon you think the American president should rule like Tony Soprano and not be charged with corruption now you are anti-populism and since the South in the Civil War when have the rich risked anything for the future hell yeah Yeah, perfect description of my position.
03:41:03.000Also, I'm 24 years old, married, daughter, and wonder what can I do to instill the right principles you speak of with the modern teachings in a corrupt public and private school system.
03:43:01.000I didn't see the music video, but I, you know, he kind of, um, I don't really like the new version of 530 Bomb or, um, what was the other song he changed?
03:43:17.000Yeah, but I had to remove those because they from my Spotify because I didn't really love the changes.
03:43:57.000I'm saying if you were giggling with glee because a guy got shot in the face because he became the CEO of a company a couple of years ago, like there's something wrong with you.
03:48:59.000My boomer dad watched an interview with you.
