00:02:25.000It's been a slow week, but some big news tonight.
00:02:28.000And our featured story is about a big whistleblower report about the FBI.
00:02:34.000Apparently the FBI office in Richmond, Virginia is talking about surveilling traditional Catholics.
00:02:41.000They say that so-called radical traditional Catholics are a vector for political extremism, potentially violence, and so the FBI talks about sending in people to surveil the traditional Latin mass.
00:02:58.000And the statement was actually retracted tonight.
00:03:01.000It came out last night and the FBI said they responded to, I believe, multiple requests for comment on this and they said that they're actually going to eliminate this bulletin.
00:05:56.000We have people working on different things, and so today I was finally able to buckle down and just kick some ass and get in some group calls and say, hey, get to work!
00:06:06.000I feel like a jerk, but I need to get in there and just say, hey, what are we doing?
00:06:13.000So I had to jump in one thing, and I'm like, hey, we need some new ideas over here.
00:06:19.000I was kind of like a jerk, but sometimes you need to get the attitude out.
00:06:25.000And then I jumped in this other thing, I'm reading through this script, and I'm like, THIS IS TERRIBLE!
00:07:21.000I was eating these and it looks like plastic.
00:07:26.000I'm so paranoid ever since all this yay stuff has been going on.
00:07:31.000I'm just like so paranoid I feel like people are just trying to kill me all the time and anyway so I get these egg rolls and it says vegetable I'm thinking oh you know like carrots
00:07:44.000or whatever and there's it's like these these little it's like these things I'm like what the fuck is that so I I turn to my assistant and I'm like we're on like a group call we're on like a phone call and I'm like is this plastic and he's like no that's not he's like no that's not plastic I'm like oh okay I'm like I already ate like three of them I'm like oh okay
00:11:42.000Mmm, I'm really thirsty right now But so this is unrelated.
00:11:48.000I may I may talk about that on Monday, but On Tucker Carlson's show last night he had Lauren Southern on Hang on there's a garloid on my spacebar Lauren Southern was on Tucker Carlson last night because like her parents got banned on Airbnb and then quickly reinstated and
00:12:12.000It was like okay you know I was watching it and I gotta say Lauren Southern she doesn't look that bad she looked kind of funky before and you know she looked a little not so hot like early on then she got all that work done and she looked kind of funky for a minute she actually looks pretty good I don't know if it was the makeup or what shut up shut up I know everyone's gonna say like oh you're a simp you're you know whatever but
00:12:41.000She's actually looking not, not too bad the other night.
00:12:48.000I don't really have a big problem with her.
00:12:51.000I know there are some people that I know that don't like her.
00:12:54.000Like Paul Joseph Watson, and there are some others, but um...
00:12:59.000But I talked to her, she was alright, she was friendly, and she was looking pretty good, so good for her.
00:13:05.000She was on Tucker, and she was talking about how her parents, so she's banned on Airbnb, and then her parents got banned, because she's banned, and it literally said that in the email.
00:13:19.000Like, Airbnb emailed her parents and said, we are going to permanently suspend your account, because you're related
00:13:26.000Because of your, it said, like, close association with someone who is banned, which is pretty wild.
00:13:32.000I've never seen anything like that, and I'm banned on Airbnb, I'm banned on everything, but my parents haven't been.
00:13:40.000I don't know if that they've ever tried to book anything, but, um, because they don't really travel, but
00:13:47.000I've never heard of that before so it is pretty outrageous I will say that it's pretty out there but I'm watching the clip and it's like it's a lot of your usual stuff I mean she's she's doing all right and Tucker's doing his usual thing and she says oh well they overestimated how woke their their customer base is their customer base
00:14:09.000There was all this backlash, so they were forced to rescind the ban, and my parents were reinstated, and blah blah.
00:14:17.000And Tucker said the most out-of-pocket, he said something like, this is what they do in North Korea.
00:14:41.000And I was sitting there watching it, and I'm like, no, I think it's obviously because she's banned, and if they are her parents, then they would be a way that she could circumvent the ban.
00:14:56.000If she's banned, of course we all know that anybody could say, oh, mom and dad, let me use your account, and then she can circumvent that.
00:17:17.000I'm going, you know, we're doing all kinds of stuff and I have to put up with all the usual censorship stuff and fallout from censorship and things like that.
00:17:26.000I'm not going to get into it, but I was already annoyed today.
00:17:29.000I had to deal with a lot of stupid stuff and then.
00:17:33.000I go on YouTube to look up this clip because it was funny and I'm trying to find the yay Alex Jones interview and we have it of course like I have it archived on Telegram and everything but you got to download it and you got to scrub through and find the clip I'm just trying to find the highlights and you go on YouTube and this was like one of the biggest things of the year
00:17:56.000And, of course, the YouTube algorithm makes it so that there's no copy of it anywhere.
00:18:22.000I go on these websites, I go on any website, and it's like, pop-up, pop-up, pop-up, pop-up, sign up for our email, pop-up.
00:18:30.000There's this new thing they're doing with cookies.
00:18:33.000Where I guess Apple and Safari and Google, I don't know if it's Google so much as it is Apple, but have you ever noticed there's this new trend where it pops up and they're like forced to give you an option to not accept all the cookies but you have to click through five different things.
00:18:51.000They'll say like accept all cookies or manage your cookie preference.
00:18:56.000And then once you click manage your cookie preference, you have to like uncheck 20 things, uncheck, you know, this kind of cookie, and that one, and that one, and you have to click through.
00:19:05.000And they only do that to make it like just a little bit arduous, just to make it a little bit of a hassle, so that you'll just accept all the cookies and just do it.
00:19:20.000So it's like that's, so that's the thing.
00:19:22.000So you go on the website and it's like boom, uh, accept all cookies, fuck off.
00:19:27.000Then boom, sign up, sign up for our email list right now, fuck off.
00:19:31.000Then it's like boom, uh, this is just a preview.
00:23:17.000You can't even say like, I don't like how this food tastes.
00:23:21.000You have to say, this food is as distasteful as being a Neo-Nazi in 2023.
00:23:26.000Ew, I'm spitting this food out, just like I would spit out anti-Semitic rhetoric, just like I would spit out in disgust anti-Semitic tropes about money in the media.
00:23:42.000Like, that's just cra- Can't we just say it's bad?
00:23:44.000Can't we just say, you know, Airbnb- Airbnb shouldn't ban people, shouldn't ban people's parents?
00:25:04.000What I was gonna say is, like, I actually do agree that Jewish people act a certain way genetically.
00:25:13.000I was gonna say, before, you know, before I decided to, like, walk that back, what I was about to say, what I was gonna say is, like, you know, I probably agree that, like, Jews do act a certain way genetically, just as we all act a certain way genetically, just, like, because all of our psychopathology is genetically determined.
00:25:33.000significantly but you're not but y'all aren't ready for that but you know you guys aren't ready for that conversation I was actually reading an article about it I was reading this paper check this out here I brought the science this time
00:25:56.000It says, I got this from that guy that was on Vince James.
00:26:02.000He didn't send it to me, but he linked it on his website.
00:26:06.000It says, psychological researchers typically distinguish five major domains of individual difference in human behavior, cognitive ability, personality, social attitude, psychological interests, and psychopathology.
00:26:23.000We conclude there is now strong evidence that virtually all individual psychological differences, when reliably measured, are moderately to substantially heritable.
00:26:34.000So that means that basically the way that people act is genetic.
00:26:37.000Like, you act the way your parents act.
00:26:39.000The people, their intelligence, all those things, you know, you understand.
00:27:46.000You inherit everything else from your parents.
00:27:50.000If both your parents have blue eyes, you'll have blue eyes.
00:27:53.000If both your parents have fair skin, you'll have fair skin.
00:27:57.000If your parents act a certain way, if their brain is a certain way, maybe your brain is going to be similar.
00:28:04.000Why would we... What is this assumption that people's minds are a completely blank slate?
00:28:10.000And if you just take them out of their cradle and give them to some other parent that we're just going to paint a new picture,
00:28:20.000on their consciousness on their mind it just doesn't even make any sense that's not to say that people don't have free will but it is to say that their temperament and a lot of these behavioral things well there may be a certain predisposition so
00:28:41.000Anyway, so I was just gonna say, Tucker Carlson saying, if you get banned on Airbnb for being Lauren Southern's parents, that's Nazi race science.
00:28:51.000It's like, hey, you know, if that's Nazi race science, well, you're not ready for this conversation.
00:28:59.000Anyway, okay, but that's not even our show.
00:29:02.000Let's get on, let's move on into the news, and let's see what we got going on here.
00:29:08.000I don't have any inside information about this, so... And I also don't really have a dog in this fight, to be honest with you, because I don't really know James O'Keefe.
00:29:19.000He's never defended me, so I'm kind of... I'm really indifferent to his fate here.
00:29:27.000But I'm sure you all know project Veritas.
00:29:29.000They're a very prominent right-wing organization And I don't know what you would call them.
00:30:47.000oligarchy it was called oligarchy yeah oh my gosh he literally did a music video where he's pretending to be Michael Jackson and he's doing the whole thing dancing and snapping and singing and and you know on some level I get it I get what he's trying to do
00:31:09.000Honestly, I completely understand it, and I don't think it's well executed, but I think the premise is correct.
00:31:41.000And so, for him to go and make a music video, it's actually very bold.
00:31:45.000I actually do commend him as somebody that is creative, as somebody that does do risky things like that.
00:31:51.000Nothing like that, but as somebody that I experiment with my look and I experiment with some of the things that I do, I actually respect the effort.
00:33:34.000But I guess he like was gaslighting her and told her that she couldn't get fat and and I don't remember exactly the story but it was one of these things where he was like listen bitch like you gotta lose all this weight ghosted her just some serious like no simp Chad business and you know me I'm not about that like I I don't really believe in that kind of thing
00:33:57.000But it is a little bit refreshing to hear that, as opposed to all these, like, simp guys on the timeline.
00:34:03.000So I've heard about some of his impropriety before, and so in other words, we're about to go into this, and...
00:34:12.000There's all this drama today about apparently there's a big mutiny happening at Project Veritas where they put him on paid leave, they want to get rid of him, and it's because there was this big staff complaint that he's abusive, that there's some sexual stuff, they're complaining about his management of the company, that he spends too much money on the dancing stuff.
00:34:36.000And so I guess what I'm trying to get at is
00:34:40.000There is a lot of validity, I think, to what they're saying.
00:34:44.000But at the same time, it also doesn't matter because he's delivering the goods.
00:34:50.000So, and maybe you guys disagree with this, but I'm a big believer in the great man theory of history.
00:35:19.000There are a lot of people that are content to just be part of the undifferentiated mass, you know, of 80% of people.
00:35:28.000But I feel like there is a spiritual elite of people that want to be the changemakers in the world.
00:35:37.000And so my view has always been on these sorts of things, that human beings are all flawed, men are all flawed, and the world is a messy place, and to accomplish very ambitious, large things, it has to be ugly.
00:35:57.000You have to be an asshole, you have to be a hypocrite, you have to do things sometimes that are
00:36:05.000Questionable morally and that's not to say that we should lose our moral clarity or anything But when you look at all the great things that have happened in human history in any way whether that's a great piece of art or it's a piece of technology or a great company or a war or a great country that goes through a revival and
00:36:28.000It's never as simple as, you know, a guy is gonna get a consensus from everybody, and he's nice to everybody, and he's totally unproblematic sexually, he just, like, really loves his wife, and, you know, doesn't have any other appetites or anything like that, he's not banging a bunch of women or whatever, and he's just, like, super nice, and doesn't make mistakes, and, you know, perfectly moral, like,
00:36:54.000You know, it's almost never like that.
00:36:56.000And so what you have to do is weigh the greatness against the charge.
00:37:02.000And so with a guy like, and maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, this is James O'Keefe, but in this case it does, the principle does apply.
00:37:11.000Here's a guy who's really doing a great job.
00:39:10.000They bring out the politicians, and the politicians say their thing.
00:39:13.000I do a conference every year that changes the conversation, that grabs headlines.
00:39:20.000It's like, hey, here's a conference of over 1,000 people, 1,200 people, saying Christ is King, and it's pro-white, and it's talking about Jewish power, etc.
00:39:33.000Like, anyway, so, and it's not about me, and it's not about Turning Point, but I bring those up as counterexamples to say there's a lot of waste in politics.
00:39:43.000There's a lot of money that gets blown, and you never really see the tangible result.
00:39:49.000Project Veritas promises to deliver these kinds of, like, whistleblower reports.
00:41:18.000And as far as the questionable investments, I mean, look, as long as they keep delivering the goods, who cares if there's a little bit of money diverted into something risky, experimental?
00:41:29.000He did a big event and it was a little bit more glamorous than some of the others.
00:42:09.000It says, quote, a whistleblower has contacted me about the news that James O'Keefe was put on leave and stripped of all authority at Project Veritas.
00:42:18.000This is difficult for me to publish as a staunch supporter of PV for years and even a VIP at their events.
00:42:24.000But what is happening to James O'Keefe is unconscionable.
00:42:27.000And the attempted hostile takeover needs to be stood against.
00:42:32.000According to my source, the situation has allowed two
00:42:57.000Alleged ringleaders of this attempt to push James out to have significant sway over the others Despite their reasons to be essentially meritless.
00:43:07.000This isn't very well written here So I don't even really know what he's talking about
00:43:16.000It says, board members and C-suite officers involved in this, according to my source, are as follows.
00:43:22.000Matt Tiermand, John Garvey, George Skakel, Joseph Barton, Steve Allenbeck, Tom O'Hara, and Barry Hinckley.
00:43:32.000The source says, quote, the board held a six and a half hour struggle session versus James where they subjected him to constant derision and insults at the insistence of Tierman, O'Hara and Hinckley.
00:43:45.000About 10 employees aired their grievances about James, which essentially boiled down to him being a tough boss.
00:43:52.000And at the end of the six-hour struggle session, Tierman and his fellow board member John Garvey put him on leave and stripped him of all authority.
00:43:59.000It was literally a Stalin-esque kangaroo court.
00:44:02.000The thing that is so very profound to me is that no one seems to grasp that John Garvey and the rest of the board did nothing to stop it.
00:44:10.000Matt Tierman had it all scripted, all six hours.
00:44:14.000This comes in the immediate aftermath of Project Veritas' greatest moment ever, exposing corruption at Pfizer, which my source thought was extremely suspicious timing.
00:44:25.000So this guy thinks that Pfizer's behind it.
00:44:28.000But anyway, I guess there's a big coup going on with the board members, and of course there's an ulterior motive there.
00:44:37.000Those complaints are all just a big pretext.
00:44:40.000They bring up the employees who say, oh, I don't, you know, he was mean to me once.
00:44:46.000Or, oh, he's like such a chad, he told me to lose weight.
00:45:04.000But there's definitely something going on here.
00:45:08.000And I don't know if it's... I mean, clearly there's something going on here.
00:45:13.000But it seems like there's something happening across the board.
00:45:18.000Where you have Steve Crowder attacking Shapiro.
00:45:24.000You have now this going on with Praju Veritas and James O'Keefe.
00:45:32.000Of course, you have drama with me, people like John Doyle and others coming out to attack me.
00:45:38.000So it seems like there's just a lot of division on the right.
00:45:43.000And I'm not usually that guy because it's not like I'm really friends with any of these parties.
00:45:47.000Like, I'm not really buddies with Tiremond or O'Keefe.
00:45:51.000I'm not friends with Crowder or Shapiro.
00:45:54.000And I've never really cared for Doyle.
00:45:57.000But it is very bizarre the timing that all this is going on.
00:46:02.000During this weird situation where Trump is announced, a lot of scrutiny on him through the DOJ, we're all waiting on DeSantis and others to announce.
00:46:15.000In other words, this is a very critical time which is going to determine the future of America.
00:46:21.000Like, if Trump runs again, and if he runs like an outlaw and he wins, it's going to be nuts.
00:46:31.000That's what we're all playing for, is that Trump led—according to the government—this is not me saying this—according to the government, Trump led an insurrection two years ago against the government, against democracy.
00:46:46.000And now he's running for president again.
00:47:03.000And, of course, now there's this interloper, Ron DeSantis, who is supposed to be set up as the alternative.
00:47:09.000He's supposed to be the other candidate who's going to come in and replace this guy.
00:47:15.000He's supposed to not be problematic and not have all that baggage.
00:47:19.000And so, this is a very precarious and tense situation, where if Trump prevails in the primary, that means that he still has the mandate from the people.
00:47:31.000That means this insurrectionist who, like, again, according to the government, tried to overthrow democracy two years ago, he still has the mandate of the opposition party in America.
00:47:42.000And if he wins the presidency, all bets are off.
00:47:50.000And when I say that's insane, I mean...
00:47:52.000Imagine the gravity of this, that all the deep state permanent bureaucrats in DC, the people that actually run stuff, the media, all of them, they said for years, this guy went to war with democracy and like Biden gave that fascistic speech a year ago with the Red in Philadelphia and said, you know, the enemies of democracy are going to be hunted down and defeated.
00:48:32.000That's why Wall Street's going with DeSantis.
00:48:34.000So this is a time when they're fighting for our minds.
00:48:38.000They're fighting for, I hate to say it, the heart and soul of the GOP again.
00:48:44.000And it's in this period where, this strange time, where Ye jumps in, and Trump announces, and Trump gets humiliated, and I'm thrown in the middle of it, and it involves Infowars and Tucker, because Ye was on Tucker, and that kind of rocked the boat, but now you've got this
00:49:29.000And at the same time that this very strange thing is playing out, very big movements happening behind the scenes, you've got these feuds breaking out all over the right wing, where the Daily Wire guys are obviously super DeSantis.
00:50:05.000I'm literally just a guy who's out here and he got all this money and it's like people are taking money from the Middle East and they're taking money from the Jews and they're in with Blaze and they're in with Fox and they're in with whatever and I'm just a guy.
00:50:26.000and doing my show on my laptop and I'm like man I'm not I don't know what's going on so so it's all very bizarre but that's that's what's going on with James O'Keefe I I don't really have a conclusion to draw here I don't know what this is about I will say though I stand with James O'Keefe again I really have no reason to but I just hate when people are taken out for a false pretext is that's what people have tried to do to me
00:50:56.000The same thing happened to me a year ago, and I'll tell you this story.
00:51:03.000One of these days I'll give you some more detail, but...
00:51:07.000This happened in December 2021 when I was in Texas to do the Elijah Schaefer Show.
00:51:16.000I got a rumor that my assistant and Simon, who was my other employee at the time, that they were going to give me an ultimatum that they were going to quit.
00:51:29.000I heard I heard a rumor from somebody and I was out of town I wasn't even at my home base it's like I was out at sea I was like Napoleon out in Gaul you know so I I'm out I'm out in the field I'm out on my campaign in Texas and I get told this rumor
00:51:48.000That within five days, my two employees, my assistant and Simon, are going to come to me with an ultimatum, and they're going to say, if you don't do this, then we're going to quit.
00:52:01.000And I said, well, what is it that they want?
00:52:03.000I'm like, I didn't even know they were unhappy.
00:52:36.000That was on, I think, like a Friday or a Saturday.
00:52:39.000So I come back, I race back to Chicago on Sunday.
00:52:43.000I was gonna stay another day, but I hear this situation is unfolding, so I race back to Chicago, I drive back by myself, I get home, and...
00:52:54.000I get a call from one of the intern teams, and my assistant, who is running the intern program, the assistant goes to one of the teams and tells them about this plan that he's got.
00:53:06.000And I said, OK, well, I was going to wait for them to talk to me.
00:53:10.000I was going to wait for the game to come to me.
00:53:13.000But I said, if they're going around and telling all these teams, if they're telling their subordinates,
00:53:19.000About this plan, I said, that's a mutiny.
00:53:22.000I said, if you've got a problem with the way that I run things, if you have a problem with how you're being treated, you take that to me.
00:53:36.000If my assistant is like the chief of staff over the intern program, and Simon is like his deputy, it's so out of line for him to go to the teams that he manages.
00:55:39.000And I said, I said, shut up, you know, it's my turn, I'm talking, I said, I gotta finish my point here, he goes, no, you don't know what you're talking about, you gotta understand, I said, look, if you don't let me finish, I'm gonna hang up, I'm just gonna leave you a voice message.
00:55:55.000So he keeps talking, I hang, I said, okay, so I hang up, and I leave a voice message, and I say, look, I said, I'm disappointed you didn't come to me with this.
00:56:05.000I said because we could have hashed it out.
00:56:07.000I said, but we're past the point of no return.
00:56:09.000You're going to other people and talking about this.
00:57:50.000So he leaves, and I have it all recorded, he leaves me a voice message and says, you know what, I always thought you were my friend, but you work me to the bone, you don't pay me enough, I do all this stuff for you, and you don't pay me enough, it's not enough money, blah blah blah, and you know, I don't want you to lead anything because you're such a bad person, and you're so mean to me, and all this.
00:59:14.000And anyway, so this gets on, when I say this is exactly like what happened, so this is a little insight into how that whole situation played out.
00:59:23.000So this is like turning into like, I don't even know, it's not even about the news, but this is why I have sympathy for him.
00:59:30.000So that goes on and the following few days, I think we had like a team meeting for the intern program on that Saturday.
01:01:08.000I said I got my money stolen, I got put on the no-fly list, my grandma died, my mom got cancer, I lost DLive, I lost my payment processor, I made no money this year, I said we just got banned from another credit card processor, I said...
01:03:12.000I said but apparently like you all hate me and I'm not I didn't say it in like a gaslighting like toxic way like you hate me I said it like apparently people have a problem with me I said I've been talking to assistant griper I'm talking to other people I said and apparently a lot of people have an issue with me and how the program is going I said so
01:03:35.000I want to go through and hear from everybody what you think about the program what you think about me I said don't be afraid don't be shy whatever you feel about me it's not gonna hurt my feelings I'm not gonna you know retaliate or fire you I said but just tell me I said because I want to do a good job apparently people are not happy tell me if I'm the problem
01:04:00.000And so, you know, Assistant Groyper starts and he says, you know, farewell, this and that.
01:04:06.000And so we start going down the list and the first guy goes, hey, yeah, I don't really know what you're talking about.
01:04:13.000He goes, but I haven't heard from Assistant Groyper in three months.
01:04:17.000He goes, our team has had no assignments.
01:04:28.000Assistant Groyper jumps in he's like well actually that's because blah blah blah and I said no no I said hang on a sec I said you'll get it you'll get your chance I said let everybody else go and then you can you can respond and the next guy jumps in yeah I don't know you're talking about but I haven't heard from assistant Groyper in three months we don't have any work the communications really bad we don't know what you want Nick assistant Groyper is not communicating it and then and literally
01:04:54.000Every single person, except for one, which I'll get to, said the same thing.
01:04:59.000They're like, yeah, like, the system's totally disorganized, this guy's not giving us any assignments, we can't hear back from him, blah blah blah.
01:05:11.000And then at the end of it, Assistant Groiber was like, hey, well, I don't know what to say, everybody.
01:07:15.000We did a donor lunch in New York, because the idea was, you know, I was on the no-fly list at the time, so I'm like, I gotta drive to New York or take the train.
01:07:26.000I'm like, we'll spend a week out there to get the most out of it, and we'll do all kinds of events.
01:07:32.000We'll do some content, we'll do a couple protests, we'll do a donor event, etc.
01:08:05.000So, we set up this donor lunch, we get like 12 people to buy tickets, and I'm thinking this is great!
01:08:12.000I'm thinking everything's going great, we have this donor lunch, 12 people bought tickets, and we have a restaurant reserved and all this, and so we're walking out the door to go to the lunch on Wednesday morning, and we're going to the Capitol Grill in Long Island.
01:08:53.000So we're walking out the door, and he's telling me, yeah, so we gotta take this train to this train, and then, you know, we gotta go here, and it's two hours away.
01:11:39.000Just keep the money, I'm not gonna go.
01:11:42.000And I told them, I'm like, do you know how bad that is?
01:11:45.000Like, do you know what a bad look that is?
01:11:47.000To have two donors show up in an empty room?
01:11:50.000I'm like, what do you think the message is to them?
01:11:52.000They're gonna show up and think nobody wants to be a part of this, and it's not true!
01:11:56.000Because there were like 10, 12 people that bought tickets, but just didn't show up because it was in Long Island instead of Manhattan.
01:12:04.000And they were told less than 12 hours before the dinner where it was, or before the lunch where it was.
01:12:11.000I said, do you know what message it sends?
01:12:12.000Like, here's a bunch of people that want to give us money.
01:12:16.000These are like professional, high quality people that want to support us and want to meet me and so on, and the majority of them didn't get to do it because of your incompetence, and the people that did show up, well it looks like there's no action here.
01:12:30.000I said, so that's just really not good.
01:12:32.000That's really, that is a really bad failure.
01:13:07.000I said, and it was, this was a catastrophe.
01:13:10.000This is the lack of positive reinforcement.
01:13:13.000So anyway, so after that, and there were a couple of other things like that too.
01:13:19.000These were just like the basic mistakes being made because John Lezak and this guy and some others were all involved in like some crypto thing, and I knew it.
01:13:31.000Part of them was concerned with America First, but they were really occupied with these other projects because they wanted to make more money.
01:13:39.000And so I called them up that Thursday and I said, in New York, John Lezak, the assistant, Simon, Jade, and the others.
01:13:49.000And I said, listen, I said, you know what?
01:16:51.000This guy, John Lezak, all those guys that got convicted, or not convicted, but all those guys that just got pinched in the Capitol thing, Gabriel Chase, Paul Lovely, John Lezak, I think there was one other guy, those guys were all working with the assistant and Simon on some crypto scam during New York.
01:17:15.000Like, that's why they weren't doing a good job, because they were all out taking calls and doing work for this other project.
01:17:22.000And anyway, so then in December, they come to me and the assistant says, you're the problem, you're just too negative, you're the bad guy.
01:17:33.000And me, being the sucker, I'm like, oh, I am the bad guy, because I'm actually a nice person.
01:17:39.000And so when we're going through this call, I'm going back now to the call where all the different intern groups said, oh, no, you know, the assistant's not really telling us what to do.
01:17:49.000We don't know what he's talking about.
01:18:03.000And he took, like, four of those guys, and they all quit, and they did their own, like, they did this project that didn't work out.
01:18:11.000And then they wound up doing that, um, what is it, Legacy America?
01:18:15.000Which was, like, a nothing subsidiary of APU.
01:18:20.000And they were at the APU conference last year, in, like, May or June 22.
01:18:28.000And it came out way after the fact, so long after all that drama happened, I found out...
01:18:37.000That James Miller the assistant was going around trying actively trying to poach my interns to work for him and then he wasn't paying them he was going around and and soliciting people to say hey you know Nick Fuentes is the failure he's not the future this thing's going nowhere you got to come work for me on my crypto scam and
01:19:03.000And you gotta go work for me and make NFTs for me because this thing is going nowhere.
01:19:10.000So he was literally trying to create a mutiny.
01:19:12.000He was literally trying to poach the talented people that work for America First, which is working for, you know, political activism, working for Christianity and talking about Jewish power and white identity and so on.
01:19:26.000He was poaching them to go scam people for Bitcoin or something.
01:19:33.000And telling them, oh, you know, we hate him.
01:19:35.000And these people, of course, went and went right to me and said, hey, by the way.
01:19:43.000And then he had the gall to tell me to, like, get all emotional on the phone like a psychopath and say, oh, you're just so negative all the time and blah, blah, blah.
01:19:52.000When in reality, it was like it was this long con to try to steal the human capital at AF.
01:20:01.000So anyway, that's sort of like a long, that's like a totally long story.
01:20:11.000He was going around to the donors of AF, and after I had fired him, and trying to get them to invest money in his crypto scam, he was going to donors and saying,
01:20:26.000You know you should invest in my crypto thing blah blah blah and none of them would reply to him and then he texts me on Christmas or like a week after and says hey Nick did you say anything to the donors because I just wish them a Merry Christmas and they're not replying to me I mean I know I don't work for you but why are they being so mean and come to find out weeks later he was soliciting them for money
01:20:52.000He was telling me that he was wishing them a Merry Christmas, and they wouldn't reply.
01:20:59.000So, this is like some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, that it's like, man, you wouldn't believe the kind of stuff that goes on that I have to deal with, and then I have to sit here and get called, like, I have to sit here and get called all these bad names and stuff.
01:21:22.000When that mutiny was happening, when I was in Dallas on the Elijah Schaeffer Show, my assistant and Simon were in Florida with Jaden, and they were at a bar and they were all getting drunk.
01:21:37.000And the assistant and Simon were just talking about money.
01:21:41.000They were just saying, oh Nick doesn't pay us enough.
01:21:43.000Now mind you, that was the same month that I got banned from Entropy.
01:21:48.000So I literally made zero dollars for like three months.
01:22:24.000I'm like, like, you know, I could probably pay you for like a year without making money.
01:22:29.000I said, but I definitely can't give you a raise.
01:22:33.000And so, I'm in Dallas by myself, doing this show, making no money, holding down the fort, everything on the line, and my assistant and Simon and Jaden are all on, you know, I'm paying them, and they're on vacation in Florida, getting drunk at a bar, bitching about how I don't pay them enough.
01:22:56.000And so, when I got back to Chicago, and Jaden got back to Chicago,
01:23:01.000Jaden told me all about this, and he said, yeah, they were only complaining about the money.
01:23:08.000The only thing they were complaining about was how you didn't pay them enough.
01:23:13.000They were saying you were mean, but it kept going back to how they're not getting paid enough money.
01:23:18.000And that's why they got to do this crypto thing, because they're not making enough money.
01:23:23.000And that's why it just blows me away that then in May, Jaden's gonna jump on the show with Simon and say, oh, it's about the no-fly list, and it's about the money, the frozen cash by the FBI, and it's about euphoria, and it's about all these other things.
01:24:04.000I get people might not like me, I get people might not like my personality, but it's a fine line between you don't like somebody and then you just don't even pretend to have integrity to just spite somebody else.
01:24:18.000And I couldn't talk about that at the time, I couldn't talk about that back in May.
01:24:23.000And one of these days I'll get into what happened there too, because that's a whole other story.
01:24:31.000But I couldn't talk about that back then because things were a little bit more delicate, but that is what was extremely outrageous is that Jaden was there in New York.
01:24:54.000He was literally in their Discord server
01:24:57.000It was called Mint Money, while they were doing it, and he knew they were working 50% for AF and 50% doing this scam thing, and he knew that the only grievance they had was that they were unhappy with their paycheck, even though, again, the organization was making no money.
01:25:17.000That's the same month, by the way, that I cut another $50,000 check to my lawyer to work and represent me against the FBI and the ongoing grand jury criminal investigation into me for my frozen assets.
01:25:43.000Simon flames out and like first of all he says he wants me to be the godfather of his son and then a week later decides I'm like the no good worst guy ever and he does this in a meeting with the assistant and Jaden and it's really just about the money they're all just salty about like they're not getting paid enough okay even though we made no cash for three months
01:26:09.000Jayden comes back and says, yeah, I'm totally with you, I'm 100% with you, like, I can't believe they would say that, you know, and it was all about the money for them, that was the only problem they had with you.
01:26:21.000In the same month, while I'm, again, while I'm paying people out of pocket, while I even paid my assistant through the month of December, I cut a $50,000 check out of pocket to my lawyer
01:26:41.000I cut a check in cash for $50,000 in December 21 to my lawyer to represent me specifically for the frozen assets for the ongoing grand jury investigation into the frozen funds.
01:26:59.000And you got Jaden going out there with Simon saying, oh, it's actually about how his money, he was grifting off of the fact that his money got unfrozen and blah blah blah.
01:27:29.000To say that I was like, that I was ever grifting off of that, I didn't even tell people when the money was stolen in the first place!
01:27:38.000So, so that's why, even though I don't know James O'Keefe, even though, like, he's not, like, an ally of mine, I will always stand with somebody who is being attacked, because this kind of thing happens all the time.
01:27:53.000And people like me, and people like James O'Keefe, I'm sure, are in a position where you can't fight back, because you just get tied up with all this corporate shit, and when you're the target, you are more restrained than the people attacking you.
01:28:10.000Like me, back in 2021, I was under a lot more pressure and a lot more scrutiny than I am now.
01:28:16.000Well, maybe that's not the case, actually.
01:28:18.000But I certainly am now and was then under more scrutiny than any of the people that ever attacked me.
01:28:24.000Like, look at what happened to Patrick Casey.
01:28:26.000Patrick Casey was the leader of Identity Europa.
01:29:59.000And so it's like, once you decide to try to burn the house down on your way out, it's like, people like me get left in this situation where it's like, hey, I'm still under a grand jury investigation.
01:30:16.000When people decide they're going to throw me under the bus and then conveniently stop being a dissident, it's like, they can go and just say whatever they like and say, oh, Nick watched a gay show, oh, you know,
01:30:34.000And when all that unfolds, like what's happening to James O'Keefe, you can't actually just go out and say, oh, here's all the receipts, here's everything that's happening, because you're still restrained by being the guy in the arena and everything that comes with that.
01:30:48.000The legal, the regulatory, law enforcement, the publicity game, you know, all that stuff.
01:30:54.000You gotta put on a happy face and say, oh, you know, I'm above all of it.
01:31:01.000That's why this kind of stuff really gets to me on a deep level, because it's like, that's bullshit.
01:31:06.000James O'Keefe, you know, I don't even really know the guy, I don't even really love that guy that much, but for him to get ousted from his organization because people are gonna say, oh, he was like, mean?
01:31:18.000And it's not right, and he built that organization, and that's like his life, and it's being sabotaged by leeches so they can go in and loot the 501c3, or whatever.
01:32:22.000There was a guy that lived with me for a year, and he went out there and aired all the dirty laundry and it was like, what, I watched Euphoria?
01:32:30.000Well, gee, what would happen if somebody who was really close to you defected?
01:32:35.000What would he have to say about you, John Doyle?
01:32:52.000And for all my eccentricities, I'm pretty clean.
01:32:56.000Like, you know, there was a guy that literally lived with me for a year, and the worst he had to say was like, oh, he watched Euphoria, he took like a two-hour shower, blah blah blah.
01:33:09.000And it's like, gee, I wonder if there was somebody who was close to you who sent screenshots and things like that.
01:36:35.000You think I'm one of these other guys that just takes it laying down?
01:36:38.000I'm like, oh yeah, well... I guess I got him, you know, I guess I got... I guess a couple of people said some things about me, so... It's up.
01:42:21.000but anyway yeah that's like that's the deep lore on all the drama that happened last year you know there's more to the story even than that it's like
01:42:30.000There's a lot more, but that's just a little taste.
01:42:33.000That's like, and you know, that's the stuff that you can't talk about in the heat of the moment, because we had to put on AFFPAC 3.
01:42:39.000I couldn't go out and just like say all this, because that, you know, and then I lost my assistant and my, like, production guy two months before AFFPAC, and they had done no preparation for it.
01:43:56.000And I put on the biggest fucking conference we ever did.
01:44:01.000We're crazy production, we brought in ton of money, brought in over a thousand people at a massive convention center, went, you know, the speeches were a little too long, but besides that it was perfectly smooth, great viewership, so sometimes you gotta just grab the wheel and go, you know?
01:44:23.000But alright, let's take a look at the Super Chats.
01:46:23.000I am really not sympathetic to other kinds of Christianity.
01:46:28.000But I think that if you believe in Jesus, if you believe that Jesus is God, that's enough for you to be in the coalition.
01:46:37.000As long as you worship Jesus, as long as you believe the Bible is inspired revelation, as long as you believe in baptism and the forgiveness of sins, as long as you believe the basics, then we're good.
01:46:52.000And broadly right-wing and everything else, but
01:46:58.000You know, as far as building a political coalition, I think we need to welcome all Christians.
01:47:04.000Now, I am a Catholic, so I encourage everybody to be Catholic.
01:47:08.000This is not any kind of ecumen... what is it?
