00:06:55.000Joe Biden is now facing mounting pressure, which continues to snowball after his disastrous debate performance two weeks ago.
00:07:05.000And with every additional gaffe, it just gets worse.
00:07:09.000So we'll be talking about what took place during the press conference.
00:07:13.000There were a few very embarrassing gaffes and mistakes, which do not inspire confidence in the Democrats.
00:07:22.000And we'll also talk about the mounting pressure for him to withdraw from the race.
00:07:27.000He's now facing calls to withdraw from over a dozen Democratic congressmen, in addition to other Democratic Party members, very important ones, and mega donors like George Clooney.
00:07:42.000And it's funny, I didn't think the George Clooney thing was such a big deal.
00:08:11.000And we talked a lot about this last week in the days after the debate, and we were watching the polls and keeping an eye on the Democratic Party.
00:08:21.000And initially, I thought that it would be more likely he would withdraw, but still very unlikely, although more likely than it had been before the debate.
00:08:31.000I think now, at this point, it's almost a certainty.
00:08:36.000We'll get into the details and the basis for my shift.
00:08:41.000We'll also be talking tonight about the Republican side.
00:08:45.000Yesterday, President Trump disavowed Project 2025 for the second time on True Social.
00:08:54.000At about midnight last night, the former president went back on True Social to go back in on Project 2025, and he claimed that he doesn't know who's running it, and he doesn't know what they believe, and he hasn't read their white paper, but that he has nothing to do with them, and they will not be involved in the second term.
00:09:19.000His initial disavowal of Project 2025 last week
00:09:23.000And his now second disavowal of Project 2025 this week comes, of course, just a week before the Republican Convention, which starts on Monday.
00:09:35.000And we'll be covering it all week next week, so make sure to tune into my Rumble channel, because the Republican Convention starts on Monday, goes through Thursday, July 15th through the 18th.
00:09:48.000But the timing of these two disavowals of Project 2025, it sets Trump up for the convention without any insinuation by the media that Project 2025 will be drafting policy or dictating personnel during the presidential transition.
00:10:10.000And we've now learned, according to the Daily Beast and the New Republic, who is responsible for the disavowals.
00:10:17.000We now know that the disavowals are being pushed onto the president by two of his top campaign advisors, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita.
00:10:28.000And what both of them have in common is they are both election deniers, or rather, election denial deniers.
00:10:36.000Both Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, the advisers, who again, according to anonymous reports, are behind the disavowals, they're not even 100% behind Trump.
00:10:57.000He called for Trump to be removed from office after January 6, using the 25th Amendment.
00:11:03.000And this is where these demands originate for the president to disavow Project 2025.
00:11:12.000So we have a little bit more information, and tonight we're going to go into great detail on this power struggle that's taking place inside the Trump campaign.
00:11:36.000And between the election and the inauguration in January, the presidential transition takes place.
00:11:43.000And this is when at least 4,000 federal jobs, 4,000 hires and appointments are made by the incoming president.
00:11:53.000And so the question before us with Project 2025, and who might be responsible for this coordinated attack, concerns those 4,000 jobs.
00:12:05.000And with some of these more ambitious plans in mind, it could be upwards of tens of thousands of jobs, at least that is the ambitious perspective goal of the second term, is actually to reclassify even more workers so that the president will have more appointments and more hires, potentially up to 50,000.
00:12:28.000So this is concerning the, at minimum, and more likely, 4,000 to 5,000 jobs, but upwards of 50,000 if the most ambitious plan goes into effect.
00:12:40.000And the question is, who gets to dispense those appointments and jobs?
00:12:46.000Who has the patronage power and all of the bureaucratic pull that comes with it?
00:12:54.000Who is going to define the next deep state with this transition?
00:12:59.000That is the battle that we're witnessing between Project 2025 and the campaign advisors with Trump.
00:13:06.000And it's very interesting who they really are.
00:13:24.000He's being held up by his wife and by his loyalists in his inner circle.
00:13:29.000It looks like it's impossible for him to win.
00:13:31.000And on the Trump side, they have this unstoppable momentum, but it appears to be steered by the very same swamp creatures that the whole Trump revolution was intended to displace from the very beginning.
00:13:48.000We'll do a little state of the race tonight for 2024.
00:13:52.000Before we get into the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:14:00.000Smash the follow button, leave a like on the video, smash the thumbs up button, and leave a comment on Rumble.
00:14:08.000We've been getting great engagement on Rumble.
00:15:01.000And guest appearances and everything, it's all going to happen next week and I'll be here streaming all of it exclusively on Rumble.
00:15:11.000And there's always surprises at the convention.
00:15:13.000You never know who's going to show up.
00:15:16.000We might have multiple appearances from Trump.
00:15:19.000And the big climactic speech from the candidate on Thursday, I believe that's the schedule, is going to define the general election.
00:15:30.000We saw in 2016 his convention speech is what I believe dictated the platform for the general election and then for the first term.
00:15:39.000So it'll be very interesting to see because it's been some time now since we've heard one of these big landmark speeches where I think he really lays out the full vision.
00:15:49.000It'll be interesting to see how much influence there will be from the donors and on particular issues like legal immigration.
00:15:56.000Or on other matters like abortion, what the treatment will be from the president, what we can expect as the general election comes to a head here.
00:16:06.000So all eyes will be on the convention.
00:16:24.000But if something happens tomorrow, then we may never get to it.
00:16:28.000So we're going to shelve that temporarily.
00:16:29.000I know last night we did a big story about Israel's Hannibal Directive, and we had to shelve the story about the French and British elections.
00:16:37.000But since this is America First, American politics takes priority.
00:16:49.000One other thing, though, before we get into the election news tonight, I did just want to address Michaela Peterson once again.
00:16:57.000At the beginning of the week, I did a little recap of my ongoing feud with Jordan and Michaela Peterson.
00:17:05.000That if you've been missing that, I've been involved in this intense battle with Jordan Peterson and his daughter, Michaela Peterson, who I don't even know, okay?
00:17:51.000That when American patriots, when pious, decent American patriots start to articulate a America first, American nationalist platform, and when they are guided by a vision of a nation governed by Christians,
00:18:09.000and motivated and influenced by faith in Jesus Christ, we encounter a major obstacle.
00:18:19.000Standing in the middle of both of those big ideas, which is America first and Christ's dominion over the country, it's the Jewishness of the conservative movement.
00:18:31.000It's the fact that so much of the conservative movement is controlled or influenced by Jewish people.
00:18:38.000Jewish money, Jewish pundits, and some of them are religiously Jewish, some of them are ethnically Jewish, but what matters is that their ethnic Jewish identity, which sometimes also includes a religious conviction in Talmudic Judaism, their Jewish identity precludes them
00:19:03.000From supporting a chauvinistic version of American nationalism or a vision of America being put first because of their affinity for Israel, because of their wariness to anoint a powerful white majority or some kind of solidarity that comes from America's European heritage,
00:19:25.000And of course, they also have an obstinate refusal to recognize Jesus Christ as God's only begotten Son and as a part of the Godhead himself.
00:19:35.000So this is, in a nutshell, the problem.
00:19:38.000Which, really, the whole show is about that.
00:19:41.000When we say America first and Christ is king, they're not wrong.
00:20:11.000And it is distinctly Christian, specifically Catholic.
00:20:14.000So we recognize that Christ is God and the Catholic Church is the church that he founded.
00:20:20.000This puts us into a direct confrontation and creates a tension with movement conservatism.
00:20:28.000As the American right is organized today around the Republican Party and various other conservative institutions, it is organized and funded and led by Jewish people, as I said, whose Jewishness matters to them such that they will not go along with America First or a Christian nationalist vision.
00:20:49.000And so everybody knows that about me at this point.
00:20:52.000Everybody knows that I represent America first and Christ is King.
00:20:56.000And Jordan Peterson has taken issue with this.
00:20:58.000He's called me a rat and a psychopath and he's had a whole lot of other nasty things to say about me.
00:21:05.000And recently his daughter has also taken up the crusade against me and my followers, the Groypers.
00:21:12.000She says that we need to be censored on the internet.
00:21:15.000She says that now that X, formerly known as Twitter, is a truly free platform, anti-Semitism has been allowed to proliferate, and she believes that this is an imminent threat to the Jewish community in the world.
00:21:29.000And as such, she says this should be classified as hate speech and moderated by Twitter.
00:21:54.000And when she was criticized and called a hypocrite for saying this, for reasons we'll get into in a moment, she actually doubled down and said, I will not back down.
00:24:57.000But unlike rats who do it, who are the enemy of mankind based on instinct, I'm an enemy of mankind based on malevolence, so I'm lower than a rat.
00:25:05.000The same day, Michaela Peterson says that it is anti-Semitic to call Jewish people rats and you should be banned from Twitter.
00:25:13.000And everybody said, okay, so there's a pretty clear contradiction.
00:25:17.000Your father calls Nick Fuentes a rat and then corrects himself and said, no, he's actually lower than a rat.
00:25:23.000And then the same day, Michaela Peterson says, you can't call Jewish people a rat.
00:25:28.000And if you do, you should be banned on Twitter.
00:25:33.000So there's obviously a big problem here.
00:25:35.000So she corrects herself and says, well, you can't call Jewish people rats because of Hitler, but you can call people who truly are rat-like rats, such as the Nazis, like Nick Fuentes.
00:27:15.000They believe in democracy and free speech and human rights and the individual and all of that.
00:27:22.000But if you're a Nazi, then you must be silenced and you cannot enjoy rights and you will be attacked and slandered and he wants to punch you in the face and it's okay.
00:27:34.000And the same goes for the Jewish people.
00:27:36.000You cannot dehumanize the Jewish people, because dehumanizing the Jewish people is what Hitler did, and Hitler did the Holocaust.
00:27:44.000But you can dehumanize anyone that likes Hitler.
00:27:48.000You can dehumanize the people that criticize the Jews.
00:27:52.000And so it becomes a circular tautology.
00:28:56.000Nick Fuentes is the enemy of mankind and he's so obviously malevolent that I will not sit down with him because people might like him and people might actually be persuaded.
00:29:07.000So they don't actually believe in liberalism, and they don't actually believe in their own ideas.
00:29:11.000If they did, they would sit down, and by the way, it's an open invitation to either of them.
00:29:17.000I would love to sit with Michaela Peterson, or Jordan Peterson, and they don't have to shake my hand, and they don't have to be my best good friend.
00:29:25.000But if they really believe in their ideas, and if they feel so strongly about it, and if they feel so strongly about me, and if they believe I'm such a poison,
00:29:35.000It's not like they're afraid to say my name.
00:29:37.000It's not like I'm too small for them to engage with.
00:29:43.000Then why don't they sit down with me and expose to the whole world the deception?
00:29:49.000If I am generating all of this poison, it's so self-evident, it's so overwhelmingly true, if I'm such a malevolent force, then why not sit down with me and reveal that?
00:30:01.000Why not sit down with me and expose that and then we can dispel all of the misinformation and all of the anti-semitism and we can affirm the strength of liberalism itself and all of the other beliefs that they have regarding Israel and the Jewish people and so on.
00:31:59.000I would sit down with either of them, and I would even do it on their platform.
00:32:03.000As long as it's live, and they can't edit it or cut it, I would sit down with them.
00:32:09.000I would go to wherever they are, if they're in Tennessee, or I don't know where they're located, but wherever they are, I would go to them.
00:34:07.000I want to get into our big stories tonight here about the election, about the news.
00:34:12.000And I want to talk first about Project 2025, because even though the Biden stuff is interesting, I actually think Project 2025 is more important.
00:34:22.000And so the big story tonight is that President Trump has seconded and doubled down on his initial disavowal of Project 2025.
00:34:32.000For those that don't know, Project 2025 is a subsidiary of the Heritage Foundation, which is a Washington-based think tank.
00:34:40.000And normally, I don't like Heritage Foundation.
00:34:44.000I think Heritage Foundation is actually a big part of the problem, normally, under normal circumstances, because it is a D.C.
00:34:52.000conservative think tank, and I think that most of the people that are at Heritage don't really get it.
00:34:58.000So for the longest time, the Heritage Foundation was synonymous with neoliberalism.
00:35:04.000I mean, really more social conservatism, but they are very neoliberal.
00:35:09.000And for a long time, the Heritage Foundation was synonymous with many of the problems in the GOP and in the conservative movement.
00:35:31.000They have drafted a 922 page document, which is meant to serve as a policy white paper for the second Trump administration, meaning it lays out a comprehensive political platform on every issue on the economy, foreign policy, the military, and so on.
00:35:50.000So one part of it, and this is the part that is getting the most coverage, it is the platform.
00:35:55.000Project 2025 has an agenda that they've articulated, and we'll read an article that gets into some of the particulars on that.
00:36:03.000But the other part is that Project 2025 is maintaining a personnel database.
00:36:13.000Communication, personal information from potential hires that they would like to see work in a future Trump administration.
00:36:24.000And to understand Project 2025, because we're going to do a deep dive, you have to get back into the first Trump administration.
00:36:32.000I'll tell you a story that a lot of people don't know.
00:36:34.000So when Trump ran the first time in 2016, the entire party was against him.
00:36:41.000And if you go back into the 2016 Republican primary, he faced a lot of opposition from the party itself, from the Republican Party.
00:36:49.000They tried to put up obstacles to him securing the nomination, to him getting ballot access.
00:36:55.000They did a lot of funny business, like during the Iowa caucus, during the Fox News first presidential debate.
00:37:03.000Many people believe that was rigged by Roger Ailes and Megyn Kelly at Fox News.
00:37:08.000So in 2015 and 2016, you have to understand, this is a very critical point, that very much unlike now, the Republican establishment and President Trump and the Trump campaign were not in alignment.
00:37:26.000The Republican Party did not want Trump to become the nominee.
00:37:30.000And the Trump campaign was fighting viciously against basically the entire Republican field and the party and all of the conservative institutions like Fox News, like the think tanks.
00:37:43.000It was a very antagonistic relationship.
00:37:46.000And there were many loyalty tests during the first Trump campaign when waves of volunteers or personnel that worked for Trump quit because they believed that he was too radical, that he was too anti-establishment.
00:38:01.000One of them was when he called for a Muslim ban.
00:38:03.000There was a huge exodus in the Trump campaign.
00:38:06.000Many people quit because they thought that was too far.
00:38:09.000Another big one was after the Billy Bush tape came out in October 2016.
00:38:15.000So there was a big tension between the RNC, the GOP, and the Trump campaign.
00:38:22.000Now, Trump was serious about becoming the president, so to that end, he created a website called GreatAgain.org.
00:38:30.000And the purpose of the website was to solicit applications from his supporters across the country to staff his White House.
00:38:40.000He said, I'm not going to hire people from the Rubio campaign.
00:39:06.000Future Trump administration could be staffed by Americans, by people that don't work in politics.
00:39:13.000And that's where we got the idea of draining the swamp.
00:39:18.000We're not going to hire people in this revolving door that work in the Bush administration and then they get resurrected and they come back in the next administration, or they go between various jobs.
00:39:28.000They're a staffer for one guy and then another guy, and really you get the same pool.
00:39:33.000No matter who is elected, no matter who's in power, you get the same pool of consultants, of staffers, of technocrats.
00:39:41.000So the idea, and this was revolutionary, the idea of GreatAgain.org, which was born of this tension between the party and the Trump campaign, was to say, we reject your people.
00:40:07.000We're going to get people from South Dakota, rather than everybody from D.C.
00:40:14.000But when Trump got in office, very quickly he was undermined and usurped by the transition team when he won the election.
00:40:23.000And then it was his job, as I said earlier, to make those 5,000 hires that every president makes.
00:40:29.000The 5,000 jobs that turn over from one administration to the next, that's called the presidential transition.
00:40:36.000He put guys like Reince Priebus and Chris Christie in charge of doing the hiring.
00:40:42.000And very quickly they scrapped GreatAgain.org.
00:40:46.000Those applications were never revisited.
00:40:48.000And many people from the Trump campaign even were not hired in the Trump White House.
00:40:54.000Instead, the people that were hired to staff Trump's first term, his first administration, were all the people from every other Republican campaign and every other Republican White House and from the GOP.
00:41:08.000And as such, throughout the first term, there was a persistent personnel problem.
00:41:14.000The problem, the reason why we didn't get what we wanted out of the first term, the reason Trump didn't deliver on much of his mandate that he received, is because although we replaced the top of the executive branch with Trump, everything beneath that was all the worst people.
00:41:39.000The personnel that was hired, they were not aligned with Trump's vision.
00:41:42.000They were not aligned with Trump's ideology.
00:41:44.000They weren't even personally loyal to Trump.
00:41:47.000And so why did the Trump administration look like other administrations?
00:41:51.000Because it was staffed by the same people.
00:41:54.000So yes, you replaced the head, but you didn't replace all the other segments.
00:41:59.000And that's why the administration failed to deliver on so many things.
00:42:05.000And this is a problem which, very early on, people caught on to, and people realized that this was going on.
00:42:11.000And so all the loyalists from the Trump campaign became very disaffected and disillusioned.
00:42:17.000When I criticize Trump, I'm echoing what many of the loyalists that I know personally have said.
00:42:23.000And they speak for many of them, what they all believe.
00:42:27.000Many of them quit early on in the Trump administration.
00:42:31.000So the people that believed the most from the beginning that were there, that survived the loyalty tests, that remained loyal, that fought with Trump against the party, they were not welcomed into the victorious Trump administration.
00:42:46.000They were replaced by the party they fought to defeat.
00:42:52.000Once Trump left office and it became clear that he would run again in 2024,
00:42:58.000There was a scramble to put together a new personnel list.
00:44:32.000They've got the list of people that worked in the Trump administration.
00:44:35.000And like I said, this is one part of it.
00:44:37.000So they've got their 922-page white paper policy document.
00:44:42.000But they've also got their personnel database.
00:44:45.000But that is really the more important thing, is the personnel database.
00:44:49.000The Heritage Foundation has basically delegated this and they've given the power to the loyalists from the Trump administration to build the list.
00:44:59.000Even though the Heritage Foundation is pretty cringe, they're not great, they have given the loyalists from the Trump admin a lot of latitude and a lot of autonomy and independence in building the database for Project
00:45:26.000He came in and everybody believes he cleaned house.
00:45:28.000He started firing the bad people, bringing in the good people, and many people credit John McEntee coming in and taking control of personnel in the last year of the first term of the first Trump administration.
00:45:42.000They credit those decisions for all of the good things that happened in the final year.
00:45:48.000The acceleration of the border wall construction, reconsidering Section 230 for tax censorship,
00:45:57.000And the limitation of legal and illegal immigration during and after the pandemic.
00:46:02.000And there's been a lot written about John McEntee.
00:46:36.000And that's why it is so important for, more so than the White Paper, more so than the policies, it's important that the personnel in Project 2025 get in the White House.
00:47:12.000And if you get to be the person that delegates, if you get to be the person that hires the 5,000 people in the White House, that gives you an extraordinary amount of power.
00:47:23.000If I'm in charge of hiring 5,000 people for the White House, I could go to the special interests.
00:47:30.000I could go to the lobbyists and I could say, if you give me a kickback, I will put your guy in the right department.
00:47:38.000I will put your guy in the department that oversees your business.
00:47:43.000So this is the dynamic that's going on.
00:47:45.000There are a lot of powerful interests in Silicon Valley, foreign countries, Big Energy, Wall Street.
00:47:54.000They want to control the hires because they know that controlling the hires controls the bureaucratic state.
00:48:01.000And whoever controls the deep state, the bureaucratic state, the bureaucracy, they control the enforcement of the law.
00:48:09.000And you have to kind of understand how the law works.
00:48:42.000Yes, Congress appropriates the money, but they're spending it.
00:48:46.000Yes, Congress writes the laws, but the executive branch are really the ones that are applying it, and that gives them a tremendous discretionary power to interpret it.
00:48:55.000And so this is where people start to say, there's really a fourth branch of government.
00:49:00.000There's the judiciary, there's the legislature, there's the president, but now there's this vast bureaucracy, these federal departments and agencies.
00:49:07.000And they have so much power, and there's very little oversight, and they're unelected, and there's this revolving door.
00:49:14.000When we talk about the deep state, those are the people that remain, that carry over from one administration to the other.
00:50:09.000She's lobbied on behalf of foreign governments.
00:50:11.000She works for one of the biggest lobbyists in the country, this guy named Brian Ballard.
00:50:16.000And they've got contracts with Big Tobacco, they've got contracts with healthcare companies, they've got contracts with Big Sugar, Big Agriculture, they've got contracts with Chinese foreign interests, and Kosovo, and the Congo, and you name it.
00:50:32.000So Susie Wiles, people say she's like this nice woman.
00:51:21.000They're going to officially have the nominee and the vice president and adopt the platform and so on.
00:51:27.000Now Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita are pushing Trump to disavow Project 2025.
00:51:35.000And so last week, and then again last night, President Trump goes on True Social and disavows Project 2025.
00:51:43.000He says, I know nothing about it, I want nothing to do with them, their ideas are abysmal, and I'm going to dictate the policy through Agenda 47 for the administration.
00:51:56.000But this has very little to do with Trump.
00:51:59.000And this has very little to do with the media's attacks on Project 2025 or policy.
00:52:04.000It's got everything to do with personnel.
00:52:07.000It has to do with who, not what, not how, but who is going to be in charge in the next Trump administration.
00:52:18.000Who gets to pick all the people in this pool of 5,000 hires that get to fill these jobs?
00:52:26.000You've got the loyalists in Project 2025 that are there for the right reasons, the patriots, the people that have been there from the beginning.
00:52:34.000And then you've got the people that are being paid, that are paying to get in.
00:53:08.000And right now, Susie Wiles is selling off the endorsements.
00:53:11.000She's taking money, and I'm sure taking kickbacks to see, and to advocate on behalf of various candidates so that she can personally use her relationship with Trump to get Trump to endorse these people.
00:54:46.000And there was a report by CNN today, which I don't like CNN, but in this case, they're correct.
00:54:52.000They analyzed Project 2025 and who's involved in it, and they found that there are hundreds, hundreds of former Trump personnel and people indirectly connected to Trump that are involved in Project 2025.
00:55:09.000So he posted on True Social, they're trying to hook me in.
00:55:37.000Many people Trump knows quite well are behind it.
00:55:40.000Six of his former cabinet secretaries helped to write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation.
00:55:53.000Four individuals that Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown.
00:56:04.000And about 20 pages of the white paper are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.
00:56:11.000In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025.
00:56:23.000Including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors, and contributors to the white paper, Mandate for Leadership, the project's extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.
00:56:36.000Dozens more who staff Trump's government hold positions with conservative groups advising Project 2025, including his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and longtime advisor, Stephen Miller.
00:56:48.000These groups also include several lawyers deeply involved in Trump's attempts to remain in power, such as his impeachment attorney, Jay Sekulow, and two of the legal architects of his failed bid to overturn the 2020 election, Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman.
00:57:04.000Overall, and this is the big picture, overall, CNN found nearly 240 people with ties to both Project 2025 and Trump, covering nearly every aspect of his time in politics and the White House, from day-to-day foot soldiers in Washington to the highest levels of his government.
00:57:24.000The number is likely even higher because many individuals' online resumes were not available.
00:57:54.000It is not disinformation that Project 2025 is deeply connected to Trump.
00:57:59.000For better or for worse, and it's actually to his benefit, Project 2025 is deeply connected to Trump.
00:58:07.000As CNN says, and again, we don't like CNN, they're posting this for the wrong reasons, but probably more than 240 people are connected to both Trump and this personnel database.
00:58:23.000240 at the minimum, including six cabinet secretaries,
00:59:56.000And they're lying about it to get him to rubber stamp that Susie Wiles will make the hires, that Chris LaCivita will make the hires, that the GOP will control the hires, and not John McEntee, not the loyalists from the first administration, not the people that have been with him from the beginning.
01:00:15.000And now all the Trump supporters, they hear the signal from Trump and they say, well, Project 2025 is a liability and Trump has Agenda 47.
01:00:26.000And so this is like a sick coup that Trump is complicit in himself to keep out all the people that actually are there for the right reasons loyal to him to carry out his own agenda.
01:00:38.000That's what's going on with Project 2025.
01:00:42.000And this has been the basis of my criticism of Trump from the beginning.
01:00:45.000And really, fundamentally, it comes down to this.
01:03:29.000If what I'm saying is wrong, if I'm not correct that there was a coup by the party, it's realigned Trump's core priorities by people that don't have his best interests in mind, then why did Trump endorse Larry Hogan for Senate?
01:03:45.000When Larry Hogan did not vote for Trump once, not in 16, not in 20, and then when he received the endorsement this year, said he rejects the endorsement, he's not going to vote for Trump in this election either.
01:03:59.000It's because they're selling the endorsements.
01:04:02.000It's because Trump is not in the driver's seat.
01:04:44.000They're controlling the platform, and they want to control the personnel.
01:04:48.000And that's why they have gotten Trump to disavow Project 2025, even though it's full of his loyalists.
01:04:55.000Because, just like in the first term, they want the hires in the second term.
01:05:00.000And Trump does not even realize that this is going on.
01:05:03.000He considers his first term as an overwhelming success.
01:05:08.000He doesn't even think there is a personnel problem to remedy.
01:05:11.000He still thinks these people are his closest allies.
01:05:15.000And so that's why he sees Project 2025 as a challenge to his ego or to his operation, rather than what it is, which is that is his true operation.
01:05:28.000So this has been the basis of my criticism from the beginning, and I hope people can understand, I'm not anti-Trump, nothing close to it, I love Trump, but this Trump machine, it's so influential, it's so powerful, it's this unstoppable force, but it has been hijacked and it is being steered by people that don't even like Trump.
01:05:52.000They're not even Trumpist ideologically.
01:05:56.000And they're going to sell those personnel appointments, they're going to sell those jobs, just like they sold the endorsements, just like they did the first time.
01:06:05.000And we're going to have a Trump administration that becomes a Frankenstein's monster.
01:06:10.000Instead of getting a Trump administration that is a personal dictatorship of Trump, filled with loyalists, ready to put America first, we're going to get all these different agencies and departments with a for sale sign.
01:06:23.000They're going to have a price tag on them.
01:06:25.000And big energy and big agriculture and big pharma and Silicon Valley and the defense contractors and the foreign governments and Wall Street are going to be able to pay whatever GOP apparatchik makes the decision on those to get their people in the departments and agencies to get favorable governance, to get favorable treatment.
01:06:46.000Which is in essence the problem that Trump was elected to solve in the first place.
01:06:51.000Drain the swamp, no donors, no special interests.
01:06:56.000And it's become a complete inversion, a complete reversal of what it was supposed to be.
01:07:02.000He came in saying, no more global planners, globalists, special interests, donors, lobbyists.
01:07:08.000Now that's all you're going to find in the Trump administration.
01:07:12.000That's why Bill Ackman, lifelong Democrat, Jew, hedge fund manager from New York, from Harvard, said, I'm going to influence the hiring.
01:07:22.000Because he knows he's going to buy it.
01:07:28.000Vance has been buttering up Susie Wiles.
01:07:31.000He wants the vice presidential slot so his boss, Peter Thiel, can get his guys in the national security wing of the government.
01:07:41.000Peter Thiel said that the CIA is a front for Palantir, his company, and J.D.
01:07:47.000Vance is his protege that he paid $15 million to get elected in Ohio, and now he's going to be the vice president, and he's going to be working with his best friend Susie Wiles to make the hires in November and December and January.
01:08:05.000Vance was able to convince David Sachs and Jacob Helberg and his husband and all the other Silicon Valley donors to give money to Trump, because J.D.
01:08:15.000Vance knows Silicon Valley gets to buy into the next administration.
01:08:20.000That's what this is all about, and it goes on endlessly.
01:08:37.000No, let's just open up the floodgates for more energy.
01:08:40.000You know, you think when Vivek says, you think when Vivek Ramaswamy says that his number one thing is fossil fuels are essential for human prosperity, do you think that that's his authentic belief?
01:09:32.000And this is why Project 2025 is so important.
01:09:34.000It looks like it's inevitable that Trump is going to win.
01:09:38.000And it's a bad thing because Trump is going to win and he's going to bring with him every special interest with a few bucks to buy our government.
01:09:46.000And somehow it's going to be even more of a whorehouse than it already is or than it is with the Democrats.
01:09:53.000It's starting to look like the Democrats are more patriotic.
01:09:55.000I know that sounds insane, but somehow it's true.
01:10:00.000Because when Trump comes in, you're not getting Trump, you're getting every special interest with a few bucks.
01:10:09.000Gangsters, foreign governments, the biggest cartels and oligopolies, they're coming in with all their money, and they're overthrowing anybody that even had some sense of a civic obligation.
01:10:47.000The media is attacking Project 2025 because Project 2025 represents the Trump they fear.
01:10:55.000So the media always says Trump is a wannabe dictator, Trump is a social conservative, Trump is going to rip apart the institutions, Trump is going to go after his enemies.
01:11:08.000Project 2025 represents that Trump, that Trump that they fear.
01:11:28.000The New York Times editorial board elected Democrats, like from Maine and Connecticut and Colorado, they're saying Trump is going to win, but it's fine.
01:12:15.000And that's why they're not threatened by it.
01:12:16.000That's why they're not worried about it.
01:12:18.000And that's why the New York Times is more concerned about whatever the Heritage Foundation is doing than they are about Trump getting elected.
01:12:27.000So, if you're out there saying, well, Project 2025 is a liability, it's strategically not smart for them to say what they're saying, the only reason they're being disavowed, unlike Trump, is because they represent the initial promise of Trump, which is a true regime change and a true shakeup.
01:12:48.000So that is what is going on with Project 2025.
01:12:52.000And that's why we need those people in the White House.
01:13:20.000Two, the media hates them because they're the loyalists, because they're actually right-wing.
01:13:26.000And three, this has got nothing to do with winning the election.
01:13:29.000When people say that Trump had to disavow to win the election, nothing close to it.
01:13:36.000This is a rubber stamp on Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles' coordinated attack on Project 2025 because they are jealously guarding the hires that they will get when Trump wins those 5,000 jobs.
01:15:24.000If it's the same people from the first term, if it's the people that are telling Trump he needs to run on, freeing more criminals from jail...
01:15:33.000More legal immigrants into the country.
01:17:05.000Nobody has the courage to stand up to it because they know Trump is going to win and they know these people are going to dispense the favors so they don't want to rock the boat and take the chance and alienate themselves.
01:18:06.000But it's time to grow a pair and take a risk and do it now while we have a chance.
01:18:10.000Because if we get to November and these people are still in control, they're going to run the transition and it's just never going to stop.
01:18:20.000So, it's time for people to become outspoken and give a little reality check.
01:18:27.000We need there to be a piece about how the lieutenants are in revolt and that we want Project 2025.
01:18:41.000We're out of time, so we're going to move on.
01:18:43.000We don't even have time to talk about, hey, guess what?
01:18:45.000Biden's retarded, in case you didn't know.
01:18:48.000We're not even going to get to the press conference, so we're just going to move on to the Super Chats.
01:18:52.000I'm going to change the name of the show really quickly, and then we'll take a look at the Super Chats, because I just went way too long talking about Project 2025.
01:25:42.000We're going to get the special interests here.
01:25:45.000Legal immigration, green cards on diplomas, more money for Israel, a friend for Netanyahu in the White House, a nationalist international, like Saurabh Sharma says, of Netanyahu, Likud, Zionist, national security spooks.
01:29:10.000You know, when we say a right liberal or a left liberal, we're talking about people that are liberal, but they're conservative or progressive.
01:29:19.000A left liberal is a leftist, a progressive.
01:39:22.000And, uh, yeah, like, guns are not the end-all be-all.
01:39:25.000You have a lot of these gun people, they're like, yeah, my kid may be trans, and yeah, my neighborhood is all brown people now, but you're never gonna take my guns from me!
01:39:35.000It's like, okay, but I think you already lost, actually.
01:41:18.000Rape Caviar sent $5, Gen Z Boss and a mini Gen Z Boss and a mini Itty Bitty Titties and a Bob Itty Bitty Titties and a Bob 5'3 with an attitude 5'3 with an attitude secret product and a trench secret product and a trench new frank green and a sneaky link.
01:41:37.000Don't dox yourself in chat sent $10, sorry for the cringe, I was only trying to agree with you.
01:41:43.000What I should have said is I did a lot of damage to my soul being a hedonist when I was younger, and gave it all up to focus on my relationship with God and live a celibate life.
01:41:51.000Thanks for being a role model and inspiration for so many.
01:41:57.000Polish guy sent $10, the hawk to a girl is mid AF and annoying but the fart on a girl lowkey a baddie freak I need me one like that frfr what do you think Nick?
01:45:43.000No, I actually don't think it's necessary to wear a hundred necklaces.
01:45:49.000I think people should just be good Catholics.
01:45:51.000So, no, I don't really agree with that.
01:46:14.000I don't agree with all this, these, um, and don't get me wrong, it's a good sacramental, I think sacramentals are, but this has been my position.
01:46:22.000The sacramentals are good, you know, the rosary, the scapular, whatever, but
01:46:28.000You know, this whole thing where it's like, let's focus on Jesus Christ, let's focus on being Catholic.
01:46:35.000Because I think it sometimes strays a little bit too far into what Protestants criticize us for, which is the Mary worship.
01:46:43.000And don't get me wrong, I know Catholics don't worship Mary.
01:46:47.000But some of them do go a little bit too far when they say she's a co-redemptrix.
01:47:11.000Necklaces and trading cards and this kind of stuff and I feel like it may be So for some people if that's a good aid, I mean god bless you.
01:47:19.000I have a brown scapular but You know Everybody should be doing the super duper trad thing.
01:47:27.000It's like yeah, let's just make everybody Catholic first, I think
01:47:32.000I never watch a documentary but of course I did hear about it whenever it came out months ago.
01:49:44.000Yes, black Iron Man, yes, gay superheroes, gay fucking Jedi, black stormtroopers, black pirates, black Roman emperors, black British kings and queens, yes, hello?
01:52:11.000Base driver sent $5, Cenk Uygur dropping major red pills last night on Piers Morgan.
01:52:16.000Talked about Adelson giving Trump $100 million making him beholden to Israel you're right about the left being correct more often than the right on Israel.
01:52:26.000Well, yeah they just talk about Israel but not even for them I mean they were Cenk Uygur doesn't respect us he's not with us for all the wrong reasons.
01:57:07.000Now it's like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, another show and another show and it's two hours of Super Chats, two hours, and like it's just, I'm losing my grip on reality.
01:57:23.000The mask is slipping and I'm losing my grip.
01:57:28.000So I was in the shower today and I'm like, I'm on Rumble.
01:58:50.000Jay Sekulow is a Jew working for the ACLJ and wrote a book called Jerusalem which is about why Jews have the right to control Israel biblically and legally.
01:58:59.000He's done legal work for Israel as well.
01:59:28.000If Arabs and Jews are both Semitic peoples, can we start calling these promoters of Muslim genocide like Peterson, Shapiro, and Loom are anti-Semites?
02:01:37.000I wish other TV personalities would actually say this stuff.
02:01:41.000By the way, when is the mustache coming back?
02:01:44.000NJF for BP that would be a great ticket.
02:01:47.000GodOfConquest91 sent $20, Nick, I was going to originally write a super chat just agreeing with your monologue regarding Project 2025, which is 100% correct, but the most crucial takeaway from this show and your previous shows is that you get it.
02:02:02.000You're a visionary that can see the entire picture.
02:02:05.000This is why you will become president.
02:07:33.000Poopfart Porker sent $5, would never put Hamburger Helper or Ham & Swiss into Nick's bento box, or purchase wooden knickknacks from Pier 1.
02:07:41.000Would just stare into those emerald greens lovingly as he threw me through the drywall, handsome adorkable prince.
02:09:46.000Because I know there was one journalist that was saying there's like portal opened up, there's like space-age technology, a portal opened up and it was brought to another dimension.
02:09:55.000I don't believe that that happened actually.
02:19:42.000Eurasia is becoming more powerful than it used to be because Russia is recovering from the collapse of the Soviet Union.
02:19:50.000China has had its miracle growth, but China's miracle growth has ended, and now they have serious structural problems.
02:20:00.000They may never become bigger than the United States at this point.
02:20:05.000And Russia, although it's recovered from the disaster of the collapse of the Soviet Union, remains dismembered and has a serious population problem themselves.
02:20:18.000So I don't think it's actually totally true to say that the center of power shifted.
02:20:23.000I think the center of power is still in the United States.
02:20:25.000The United States is still by far and away the most powerful country in the world by any measure.
02:20:31.000And if anything, the trajectory of every other country has worsened since the pandemic.
02:20:37.000It seemed at one point that China might have overtaken the United States.
02:20:41.000Now that is not certain at all that they will overtake the United States on any timeline.
02:20:48.000And if they do, it will be far closer than people thought it was before.
02:20:52.000So I think it's careful not to overstate these things.
02:20:57.000Russia and China are asserting themselves, and yes, I think the forced projection of the United States is receding a little bit, but... The Ukraine war and the pandemic have brought Europe firmly back under the sovereignty of the United States.
02:21:13.000Although China has been competing in Central and South America, the United States is reasserting itself there, too.
02:21:21.000And in East Asia, they're all now rallying around the United States.
02:23:25.000RegalGroiper sent $20, people on the Saturday Twitter space were saying that we should put pressure on Candace and the tapes to acknowledge you.
02:23:33.000You said to be patient and this week Candace talked about you sympathetically and Tristan called you the litmus test on X. Trust always leads to vindication.
02:23:41.000Well, I just don't believe in attacking people for no reason.
02:23:45.000I mean, in almost every case, I only attack unless I've been attacked.
02:23:51.000Or, if I attack first, it's always a substantive criticism, or it's people that are legitimately terrible.
02:23:58.000So, people like Candace Owens and the Tates, they're very good.
02:24:01.000Their messaging is very, very good, and I like their content.
02:24:06.000I had a little beef with the Tates last year, but that's because they were attacking me.
02:24:11.000But I always maintain that I think directionally it's very positive, even though I don't agree with their business model, the cam girl stuff, of course, and Andrew Tate's Muslim, but I do think they are a net positive overall, and I always maintain that.
02:24:28.000You know, people say, oh, all it took was for them to compliment you.
02:24:42.000I would like to collaborate with them further, but I also know that that is, uh, kind of a tall order and it comes with certain effects.
02:24:51.000So I, I'm certainly not going to demand it immediately, you know, because people come around eventually and I want to give them a chance also.
02:25:00.000So certainly I don't think it's worth burning a bridge over.
02:32:52.000You guys are really making the show better.
02:32:56.000Special thanks to our top Super Chatters, Richard Lyman, Bass Crocheter, Florida Groyper, Jose Gonzalez, Gunsmith Groyper, Shero, Joe Jones, Wife Beating Groyper, and Forrest Fed.
02:33:09.000Special thanks to all of our top Super Chatters.
02:33:12.000Thanks to all our Super Chatters, everybody that watches the show.
