00:13:22.000Our featured story tonight, we're going to be recapping the Vladimir Putin interview from yesterday, which I covered on this stream on Rumble, actually.
00:13:35.000And we'll recap the debate and everything that happened.
00:13:39.000There was actually a response from the Biden administration to the interview, so we'll talk a little bit about that.
00:13:46.000We'll also go into what took place during the interview and I'll give a little bit of a reaction.
00:13:51.000I talked about it yesterday, but those were first impressions.
00:13:57.000Needed a little time to marinate on it.
00:14:07.000And it had been hyped up, not just by Tucker, but really more by the media.
00:14:13.000They were saying that this interview would destroy the election, and nobody really even knew what they meant by that, but that was a rumor.
00:14:22.000They said that this is going to totally mess up the 2024 election, and nothing of that sort happened, not even close.
00:14:35.000A lot of yapping, so we'll talk all about that.
00:14:39.000We'll also be talking tonight about the war in Gaza.
00:14:43.000A little bit of an update there, which I've been trying to get it out all week, but just haven't had the time.
00:14:51.000So if we have time tonight, we'll go over the latest over there.
00:14:55.000The biggest development is that Saudi Arabia and the United States are beginning to pressure Israel to recognize a Palestinian state.
00:15:05.000After the war is over and Saudi Arabia is making normalization contingent on the creation of a Palestinian state.
00:15:16.000And it seems that the United States is backing them up on that.
00:15:21.000And the Biden administration has even suggested that that might be a first step rather than the last step in a negotiation process to finish this war.
00:15:58.000But before we get into the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live, if you're not following me already.
00:16:09.000Yesterday we actually had the biggest Rumble stream that I've ever done, which I was a little bit... I mean, I don't want to say totally surprised, but...
00:16:21.000I knew that there would be a big audience, but I just keep breaking records.
00:16:26.000We had a record stream for one of the Republican debates in December.
00:16:32.000We had a record stream for the fundraiser at the end of December.
00:16:37.000We broke the record again with the Iowa Caucus last month, and now I think this is the fourth time I've broken my own record for biggest stream.
00:16:46.000Yesterday I had 14,500 live viewers watching the Putin interview.
00:17:53.000And I have already heard a thousand times people say exactly the same thing.
00:18:01.000Which is, I can't imagine any of our Western politicians saying something like that.
00:18:12.000I can't imagine one of our politicians talk for two hours about anything.
00:18:18.000I don't think our politicians know anything about history.
00:18:22.000Or, conversely, they'll say a variation of that.
00:18:25.000They'll say, maybe that interview wasn't for idiot Americans who would be rather watching the Super Bowl, but that was very intelligent.
00:18:39.000And I'm just like it's making me pro-NATO like all of that is single-handedly because you know me I was the first I was first I was the first Russia show I was the first and the strongest
00:18:56.000And the only actual Russia shill from the beginning.
00:19:00.000I mean, AFPAC 3 was like the day after the Ukraine war started.
00:19:06.000And I got up in front of a national audience and said, can we get a round of applause for Russia?
00:19:15.000And for Vladimir Putin, who's like Hitler in a good way.
00:19:23.000And now everybody's jumping on the bandwagon with this interview and the smartest thing they can say, the smartest takeaway anyone has is, wow, by comparison Biden is pretty dumb.
00:22:36.000She says, Putin's 30-minute account of Russia's history was incredibly interesting, not just because of its political relevance, but especially because it highlights the fact that not a single Western leader could give such a detailed historical account of their own nation
00:24:23.000And, you know, I was... I saw some of these tweets.
00:24:27.000Well, I'll elaborate on that in a minute, but I saw some of these tweets.
00:24:31.000And I said on Telegram, and it has the same energy of, like, a comment section on those new atheists.
00:24:39.000Interviews you remember maybe you don't if you're younger, but you know 10 15 20 years ago.
00:24:45.000You'd go on YouTube and You'd have Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett and Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris and
00:24:55.000And I think they did a roundtable one time, and all of like the fedora tipping new atheists from Reddit, or wherever, the forums, they would go in the comments and they'd say stuff like, wow, just wow, the intellectual power in this room, I just can't even, oh my goodness, like I can't believe that we're so lucky that we get to watch this, that we get to see all this greatness in the room.
00:25:23.000And all these people blazing Putin over the history lesson, it's giving the same energy as that.
00:25:32.000There was a similar phenomenon when you had the intellectual dark web.
00:25:36.000There was like a similar deal when Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson did an interview together with Dave Rubin, and the comments were like just people drooling.
00:26:16.000That they will uncritically devour anything that presents itself as smart, or smarter than your average nut.
00:26:26.000Like that's, that is the midwit impulse.
00:26:30.000If Putin presents himself as, you know, and I think he said that to Tucker, well this isn't an entertainment show, this is, I'm actually going to give you the real history here.
00:26:40.000The midwit sits right up and says, oh boy,
00:26:45.000Something dense and purporting to be intellectual with an intellectual pretension?
00:26:51.000I am very smart for engaging with this.
00:26:56.000I am very smart for understanding this.
00:26:58.000I am smarter than your average person who would not understand this.
00:27:04.000So I just want to get that out of my system.
00:27:06.000I think this whole like... This is a filter.
00:27:32.000If Sargon, this bitch, and John Doyle were 3 out of 5 billion people that had this take, I think that tells you what you need to know.
00:27:43.000And honestly, credit to Richard Hanania and Spencer and Keith Woods for having the correct take, which is that this was not effective at all.
00:27:57.000But I just want to point out at the outset how annoyed I have been for the past 24 hours hearing the same take over and over and over again.
00:28:10.000I want to read, I think someone linked the Sargon
00:28:14.000Because he said exactly the same thing.
00:28:20.000The only thing that really stuck out to me over Tucker's Putin interview was how much more thoughtful and coherent Putin was compared to literally any Western politician.
00:28:33.000Putin was at least interesting throughout the interview and gave long-form answers.
00:28:38.000It's inconceivable that our soundbite politicians
00:30:20.000And apparently, there are some people that are enlightened, like Sargon, and John fucking Doyle, and Eva of Landslutter... bitch, whatever her name is,
00:30:31.000They're smart enough to digest all of this, unlike your average guy, your average Joe, unlike Joe Biden.
00:30:40.000And yet, their only takeaway... Okay, so think of it.
00:30:44.000Putin is a galaxy brain, so profound, so intelligent.
00:30:49.000These people, so intelligent, they were intelligent enough to get it.
00:30:54.000Yet their only takeaway about all this profundity that is encased in this interview
00:31:04.000That's the most profound... So for all the intelligence that cannot fit in the room, the only takeaway, the most profound takeaway is Biden is dumb by comparison.
00:33:11.000You know, to be overly formal in that setting betrays hostility.
00:33:16.000He didn't bring Tucker in and bring in an American audience to persuade them.
00:33:22.000He gave the corporate, formal, official line about the war, which has not changed since the beginning.
00:33:31.000And so that's why there's no takeaway.
00:33:33.000That's why, for as brilliant as everybody said it was, although nobody can figure out exactly how or why, and for the people that say they got it, that's why the only thing that they can say about it is, well, it was just so much more eloquent.
00:33:53.000You can praise Putin for his erudition more so than a Western politician, but the reason why that's the only takeaway is because people can only comment on the form because there was no substance.
00:34:05.000People can comment on the form of the presentation because that was the only remarkable attribute.
00:34:16.000Because nothing that was actually said was remarkable.
00:34:22.000But of course, you know, these midwits don't understand that.
00:34:25.000You know, they hear somebody speak like this and they think, oh, well, I am very smart.
00:34:34.000This is not for... You know, when Putin framed it like that, and you'd have to be an idiot not to see what he's doing there, it's really condescension more than anything.
00:34:45.000And I'm talking about when Putin said at the beginning, he said, are we going to have a talk show or are we going to have a serious conversation?
00:34:52.000And then he said, I'm gonna answer for 30 seconds about the history, and then he went on for 40 minutes.
00:35:00.000If you can't recognize that that was game, that that was a rhetorical ploy, it was actually a hostile rhetorical tactic, then you're an idiot.
00:35:11.000But your average midwit doesn't see it that way.
00:35:14.000Your average midwit, again, because it has the pretense of being more intelligent than your average Joe,
00:35:22.000They heard that, and they got on the edge of their seat and listened attentively.
00:35:27.000And then at the end, even though they couldn't actually figure out the profound insight that was there, nevertheless, they said, wow, that was incredible.
00:35:39.000But because he said he was going to say something, and he sounded like he was saying something, people that don't know any better, even though they can't elaborate on what was said, come out and say, wow, that was really something.
00:35:51.000I mean, I don't know what to say, but I mean, none of our politicians could say it like that.
00:36:30.000The reason why everybody has that take is because, and to get a little bit more into the interview, so of course, so now I'll begin my analysis of it.
00:36:41.000I first just want to say that everybody else's analysis was wrong.
00:36:45.000Everybody, and well, I'll say one more thing.
00:37:42.000So, anyway, I want to get into my analysis of it.
00:37:45.000Of course, yesterday Tucker Carlson interviewed Putin about the war in Ukraine.
00:37:50.000They had tried to do this interview a year ago.
00:37:54.000You may remember Tucker Carlson aborted it, and he came out and said that he couldn't explain how he knew, but he was tipped off that the intelligence community had been spying on his communications.
00:38:07.000That he had arranged to go to Russia and interview Putin a year ago, but that his communications preparing the interview were intercepted and somebody in Washington tipped him off that that was happening and that he might be in danger if he did that.
00:38:44.000Tucker asked a very straightforward question.
00:38:46.000He said, why did you invade Ukraine in February 2022?
00:38:55.000And Putin said, well, I'm going to take 30 seconds to give you the historical background.
00:39:02.000And the 30-second historical background went on for 30 or 40 minutes.
00:39:06.000And this is what everybody has been talking about.
00:39:09.000And Tucker kept interrupting him and saying, okay, but why did you interview now?
00:39:15.000I mean, Putin went back to the 9th century to explain the origin of the modern Russian state in Moscow.
00:39:23.000And it's relationship with the Slavic people in present-day Ukraine and Tucker kept Interrupting to say okay, but why if that is the argument why now why in?
00:39:37.0002022 why not in 2000 or 2010 and Putin pressed on anyway with this elaborate historical discussion everybody talked about that and
00:39:50.000And this is where all these takes come from where people say, oh well, our leaders are not capable of doing that.
00:39:57.000And they're probably right on some level.
00:40:01.000Is it possible that Joe Biden or Donald Trump could not give an elaborate explanation of the origins of the United States going back a thousand years?
00:40:31.000It has nothing actually to do with the war in Ukraine, and if you think it does, you're naive.
00:40:38.000The war in Ukraine, as we have talked about on the show for years, has very little to do with any of these constructed reasons or pretexts.
00:40:50.000And by constructed, I mean anything narrative-based.
00:40:53.000When you hear these stories that Russia tells about Russia or about Ukraine,
00:41:01.000They talk about how Ukraine as a sovereign or autonomous entity was a modern creation and a quirk of how the Soviet Union was organized after the Russian Civil War.
00:41:16.000Or they talk about the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, or they talk about the imperial expansion of the Russian Empire in the 18th century.
00:41:51.000Russia invaded Ukraine because of the Maidan coup in 2014, which was illegitimate, and which would have brought Ukraine, and specifically also Crimea, under the control of a pro-Western government, which would eventually accede to NATO and the EU.
00:42:09.000And that would entail, necessarily, the deployment of intermediate-range missiles, NATO military bases inside Ukrainian territory, potentially east of the Dnieper River,
00:42:21.000Unacceptably close to the Russian state, and the Russian capital, the Russian core, which is in Europe.
00:42:47.000And everything to do with contemporary domestic security concerns.
00:42:52.000And so, the reason I say that is because this long walk through history is a hostile tactic.
00:43:03.000And it's like if you've ever seen that Sam Hyde bit, maybe some of you are familiar,
00:43:10.000But Sam Hyde, the comedian, he did a video years ago and he said that one of his tactics is to borrow a lot of money and then when the collections call or the bank calls to collect on the money, he says as a hostile negotiating tactic, basically, you have to tell them a really long, really ridiculous, really arduous story.
00:43:36.000And if you tell a long enough story, eventually people will lose their patience and they will accommodate you.
00:43:43.000And the point, and maybe you've seen that, I'm not saying it in a comedic way, but that's what he says, and that's very real.
00:43:50.000The point of that is that it's a hostile, it's a hostile rhetorical tactic to impose upon the patience of the listener and not be considerate.
00:44:02.000Okay, so when Putin goes over the 1,000 year history of Russia in great detail and with that level of tedium against the question, which is not about 1,000 years ago, he's not making a legalistic thorough case for the war in Ukraine.
00:44:32.000What it is is a hostile tactic, and it is meant to be offensive, and it is meant to put Tucker Carlson off balance, and it's almost basically meant to be insulting.
00:44:44.000To impose all this information and stuff that is really not even relevant to the conversation and run out the clock.
00:45:01.000It had nothing to do with... You know, because I saw one of the takes, somebody said, well, you know, people forget that Putin was a lawyer, so he's very legalistic, and he made a thorough case for the war.
00:45:17.000And that's why it was actually an effective question.
00:45:19.000Tucker Carlson said, okay, so if Russia has a claim to Ukraine because of 1,000 years of history, then does Hungary have a claim to Western Ukraine?
00:46:15.000No nation is organized on the basis of genetic clusters, unfortunately.
00:46:21.000Although maybe that would be a good thing.
00:46:24.000They are organized on the basis of some tenuous interpretation of history which gives cover to the extent that a centralized state can project power.
00:48:18.000So, all that history has nothing to do with it.
00:48:22.000And the rest of the questions, through the interview again,
00:48:25.000This read like an official statement from the Russian President's desk that we heard on February 24, 2022, that we have heard in many speeches ever since then about NATO's, and you know, towards the end of it, we got to those real reasons.
00:48:46.000And additional idealistic reasons, we heard about the denazification of Ukraine.
00:48:51.000Nothing new, nothing fresh, it's not a new argument, it's not new information.
00:48:56.000We heard about the commitment not to move NATO east after 1991 and the unification of Germany.
00:49:32.000And my takeaway is that in terms of Putin's affect during the interview, he was not open.
00:49:39.000This was not an open interview bringing Tucker in.
00:49:43.000Because typically, there's two kinds of interviews.
00:49:46.000There's an interview which is perfunctory, where it is basically scripted, and the point of the interview is it's kind of a slightly different format than a press release.
00:50:00.000So, for example, if I go and interview the head of Apple about the Vision Pro, what's the purpose of that interview?
00:50:08.000It's another way to communicate corporate information.
00:50:13.000And it's to deliver the specifications of the technology and, you know, give the sales pitch for it and all the rest.
00:50:21.000It's another format for basically a press release.
00:50:26.000Another interview, like a tell-all interview, or some hard-hitting journalism, is where the goal is for the interviewer to enter the world
00:52:49.000And I think Putin basically just punked Tucker Carlson.
00:52:53.000I think that's what it amounts to, on some level.
00:52:56.000I don't know why he undertook the interview, if that was... Some say that maybe Putin was showing off to the Russian population, and so maybe the intended audience was the Russians?
00:53:09.000And it was an opportunity for Putin to humiliate the Western press?
00:53:16.000That's the only angle that I can see is that perhaps it was not intended for an American audience because many Americans were expecting for Putin to pander to an American audience or take advantage of a sympathetic American audience in Tucker.
00:53:33.000That he could try to win over the Americans or
00:53:38.000Persuade the Americans or even convince Americans something about their own government, but There was no Putin did not reach outside of himself or open up to the West Embodied in Tucker.
00:53:54.000It was closed and hostile and standoffish and at times condescending and even rude towards Tucker
00:54:04.000And I think looking at it with that in mind, I think the necessary conclusion is that it was more showing off to the Russians and showing strength for the Russian people, showing strength against the Western media, and deliberately condescending to the West, deliberately showing off and outclassing and doing these power moves.
00:54:38.000He was showing off, disrespectful, condescending, domineering against Tucker, and I think that was a power move to show strength to his own population, rather than what people are saying, which is that he was trying to get us to think a certain way about him.
00:54:59.000To me, that's the only conclusion that makes any sense.
00:55:05.000So, that's my takeaway of the interview compared to a lot of these other people.
00:55:12.000Again, their biggest takeaway is like, well, Biden is dumb.
00:55:16.000And to return actually to my... I left one thing unfinished.
00:55:21.000I said that this mindset that people have is why the right will go nowhere.
00:55:27.000It's because it is just this like reflexive cynicism
00:55:34.000And I'm starting to kind of change my view of things, and not to glaze or whatever, I mean I'm wearing the Vultures shirt, but this is something, and I've said this before, but this is something that I realized when I worked with Kanye.
00:55:48.000It's that the right wing has no imagination.
00:55:53.000And I'm not even talking about conservatives, I'm talking about the dissident right.
00:55:59.000It is not forward-thinking, contrary to what it pretends to be.
00:56:19.000These people, they're reacting to the Putin interview and they say, yeah, our Western politicians suck, you know, we're dumb, and our Western politicians are dumb, because our society's backwards, and we have no sense of history, and the only thing that we care about is football, and... But I was thinking about this today, and it's sort of like, you know, I forget what they call this, but there's a principle where they put up the college quad, you know,
00:56:49.000And they pave these paths in the grass in the college quad.
00:56:56.000And there's this sociological principle that if you design the pathways on a grassy field in like a college quad or in some kind of corporate campus,
00:57:10.000If you design them first, people will carve natural paths based on where they're going.
00:57:17.000So maybe they'll cut across the middle in an unexpected way.
00:58:23.000And instead of imagining a world that we would embrace with technology, people just kind of want to hit the back button, or hit the escape button, or try to negate this, even though they themselves still embrace it.
00:59:02.000I knew all the things that I didn't like.
00:59:05.000I hadn't even thought about the future.
00:59:07.000I could compare the past to the present and the ways in which the past were better than the present, but I had no visual or imagination, no image of the future to say, this is how the future will be better than where we are now.
00:59:21.000Nothing practical or even impractical for that matter.
00:59:25.000And I feel like a lot of right-wing people, they're sort of stuck.
00:59:29.000And they've fallen into this trap of just saying, the West is bad, the West is bad, our leaders are dumb, everything just sucks here, everything's just bad, everything's just horrible.
00:59:42.000And things used to be better, and I wish it was like the past, and I wish things hadn't gone this way.
00:59:52.000And in reality, we have to be thinking not like that.
00:59:56.000We have to be thinking about what we like about our country.
01:00:02.000And we have to be forward thinking and how we can make things better.
01:00:07.000And I know that sounds maybe trite and cliche, but I don't just mean like, hey, come on, think on the bright side and let's be positive and not negative.
01:00:18.000I mean, has anybody ever actually undertaken an exercise of thinking how the future could be better using
01:00:26.000What we have right now not saying let's make it a emulation of the past or a simulation of the past.
01:00:35.000I'm saying is anybody actually come up with an image projected an image in their mind's eye of what the real future could look like shaped by us.
01:00:46.000Knowing what we know about technology.
01:00:48.000Have you thought about a world with iPhones and Vision Pro and all these things?
01:01:35.000That takes the things that we like about the past and synthesizes them with what we like about the present through the technology and the dynamism of the present moment, which is changing all the time.
01:01:54.000Are we, is the right wing capable of doing that?
01:01:58.000And I think unless and until the right wing is able to do that,
01:02:32.000We have to think in terms of how can we develop the human potential that will be on the forefront of mankind?
01:02:46.000How can we develop individuals with various aptitudes to excel, to reach the pinnacle of the institutions and be at the forefront of the various fields?
01:03:03.000Should we make a, I don't know, some kind of song with like right-wing themes like the Tom McDonald song?
01:03:11.000We're gonna make a rap song, but Ben Shapiro's gonna be in it.
01:03:16.000Or should we look for people with a very high musical aptitude and who would excel in the musical institutions of the country, whether that's record labels or, you know, one of the symphonies, you know, if we're talking classical music, and people that are going to be literally the top 1% of the top 1%.
01:03:39.000Are we going to look at like a developer who has right-wing opinions or are we going to develop a young person with the best computer aptitude and they go to MIT or wherever and or they learn from the best and they're at the forefront of all of the emerging technologies.
01:03:57.000Only when the right wing can capture those people and only when the right wing can inculcate a culture that's attractive to those people
01:04:05.000Will the right-wing define the future?
01:04:08.000As long as the institutions are left-wing and they're attracting the best and brightest and they're in San Francisco being liberal and that's the more attractive culture to the smartest, best people, that's the culture that will reign.
01:04:26.000You know, we have to think in those terms.
01:04:28.000It's not, you know, I'm not putting it in a, I'm not, you know, I'm kind of just throwing a lot of stuff out there.
01:04:33.000I'm not putting it in a box and tying a bow on it.
01:04:36.000But that's the kind of mindset we need to have.
01:04:40.000You know, to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the right, the most regressive, the most, you know, prejudiced or something, is not
01:04:57.000Something that's going to capture the future.
01:05:00.000And what I mean by that is, you know, some people, they want to go in the streets.
01:05:05.000We need, hey, you're going to, you know, people always say to me, you're going to need the white working class when shit hits the fan.
01:05:11.000You're going to need a thug, like a dumb idiot thug who has nothing better to do than getting street fights.
01:05:17.000You're going to want that when the collapse happens.
01:06:23.000I'm far less interested in the grug heads that are, you know, just low IQ and dumb and they want to go and do something for our people and, you know, march around carrying a banner and a costume.
01:06:36.000And whenever I say that they say, hey, you know, you're gonna need us one of these days when, you know, blacks take over and you need someone to protect us, protect you.
01:06:50.000I'm dumb, I'm broke, I have no political power, but one day if society is retarded and it just turns into, you know, like a pre-industrial society where the big and tall is gonna say how it's gonna be, you know, then you're gonna need me.
01:07:12.000And what that's saying is I'm useless now and I'm not happy about that.
01:07:20.000Anyway, we need to be thinking in terms that will appeal to not the lowest common denominator that is going to be won over by the most base, vulgar propaganda that appeals to their basest prejudice, but
01:07:39.000But something that actually offers transcendent ideas and interesting, novel, new ideas about things.
01:07:46.000About things that are hard, not things that are easy.
01:07:49.000Not things like, well, you know, when you think about it, degenerates should be killed.
01:07:53.000You know, or stuff like, well, when you think about it, black people are dumb.
01:08:00.000No, but like actually ideas about things that are hard like do you have anything to say about technology?
01:08:06.000Do you have anything thoughtful to say about music?
01:08:09.000Do you have anything thoughtful to say about language or gnosis or religion or anything like that?
01:08:15.000If the answer is no then maybe work on that and
01:08:23.000That's what I've been trying to do lately.
01:08:25.000Because the answer for me would be no as well.
01:08:27.000But I've been trying to work on that for myself as well because, you know, we need to cultivate a school of geniuses and a scene of geniuses in a geographic place.
01:08:40.000And that is, historically it seems, where the change proceeds from.
01:08:44.000Not from, you know, hey, if we make enough Dan Bongino videos but about how six million didn't die, then we'll win.
01:08:54.000It doesn't work this way, so... So those are my thoughts on all of that.
01:09:01.000Okay, we're out of time, so I think we're going to... We'll cover Gaza, I guess, next week.
01:09:10.000And for now, we'll take a look at our Super Chats and see what you guys have to say about all this.
01:09:32.000Yeah Balenciaga vultures shirt This is this fit kind of goes crazy with the pants I have sweatpants on now, but I have a pair of pants that goes with it So I'm kind of in love with this fit right now I got to wear this someplace All right
01:13:57.000I think it would, just for the content, it would be Kino.
01:14:00.000Imagine a pilotless, VTOL, like drone-style helicopter and you got like a thousand of them all over some cartel headquarters and they descend in like Iron Man jetpack type thing.
01:14:19.000And it's like they're wearing Apple Vision, and it's identifying targets, it's giving hit markers, heat signatures, there's like overlay, heads-up display, health bar, ammunition, mini-map, rotating mini-map.
01:17:44.000Ganown considered Catholicism from the metaphysical POV rather than just the religious similar to Neoplatonists and Catholics like Augustine.
01:17:51.000That the Catholic Church is the external and contingent worldly form containing a deeper esoteric teaching that transcends this outer shell.
01:18:43.000And I don't know, I haven't finished the book, so I'll tell you what I think when I finish it.
01:18:48.000I'm unconvinced right now, but you know, but there is a case to be made based on some of the writings of St.
01:18:58.000Paul that says that gnosis is used in the New Testament 29 times and only one time is it used pejoratively.
01:19:06.000And you have to distinguish between a false gnosis and
01:19:11.000A imperfect form of Gnosis and then perfect Gnosis.
01:19:16.000And that much of what has been said in Catholicism is against false Gnosis, the puffed up knowledge.
01:19:26.000And they say that, some Catholics say that the Greek philosophy was providential, that it was almost given to the Greeks to prepare
01:19:37.000Mankind in anticipation of the coming of Jesus some some have said this and they say that the Christian Gnosis is distinct from the Hindu Gnosis because it is Trinitarian But I haven't read enough about this, but but I but I was reading a book about it today I found it actually very interesting and they say that there is a there is an actually an oral tradition of
01:20:06.000Now, this is where you get into dangerous territory, but some would contend that Jesus transmitted to his apostles an oral tradition that was not written in the Bible.
01:20:19.000And they say that the reason that the oral tradition is superior is because it's transmitted by the breath, which is connotated with the Spirit.
01:27:15.000And the reason why I was late is because, you know, Ye had this interview with Trump that had been planned for a long time on Tuesday at like 8 30 or something like that.
01:27:39.0006 a.m and we were up until 1 a.m we had worked all day so we got to the office in the morning at like 9 we worked until 1 a.m then i had to go to my hotel sleep
01:27:53.000Wake up and get to the airport at 5 a.m.
01:27:57.000Which means I had to be at the Waldorf at 4 a.m So I got like two hours of sleep.
01:28:02.000We worked all day Then I slept like two three hours jumped in an uber was Slightly late to the Waldorf, but yay was later than me.
01:28:13.000We get in the uber We're late to the airport.
01:28:16.000We go through security and everything and
01:28:18.000We fly to San Francisco, San Francisco to Miami, and then Karen was running late, so we go from Miami to the Trump Doral where we were gonna wait for Karen, and then Karen picks us up at the Trump Doral, and we drive from there to Mar-a-Lago, and we get to Mar-a-Lago an hour late.
01:28:53.000and um you know but we didn't have time to check into the hotel and then i wound up at the dinner so that's why i was in jeans and it's not because yay you know you fucking idiot did you really do this you're a tire for the past seven years has been a suit and tie you're just a fucking loser retard
01:29:27.000I Ubered to the Waldorf and then didn't stop until I was at Mar-a-Lago, until I was in the lobby of Mar-a-Lago an hour late with Ye waiting for the president.
01:29:38.000So at no time between, you know, leaving my hotel at 3 a.m.
01:29:43.000in LA to arriving at Mar-a-Lago at like 8.30 or whatever, 9.30,
01:29:48.000Was I even able to change and then you know, we sat down in the lobby at the Mar-a-Lago the lobby of the dining room and we sat there waited for five minutes They said the president will be with you.
01:30:00.000He walks in through the dining room comes up and you know, we all get up and
01:30:08.000And we say hi, and then Ye comes up, shakes his hand, and Ye and Trump start to go into the dining room, and then Ye comes, oh, they're coming with me, and he hand waves us in, and we come up behind him.
01:30:18.000I'm like, we're gonna be at the dinner, you know?
01:30:21.000So it was totally, like, you know, people say it was a setup.
01:31:23.000Yeah, like I said, we're gonna have the subscriptions.
01:31:26.000We're gonna have these subscriptions soon enough, hopefully.
01:31:31.000If there's no funny business, we're actually uploading the archive.
01:31:35.000We're bringing back the AF Archive, where it's got all the episodes.
01:31:40.000It's gonna have all 1,300 episodes, all my interviews, all my speeches, all my commentary, gaming streams, everything going back seven years.
01:31:52.000And it's gonna be available for subscribers, hopefully soon, with an e-check system.
01:31:59.000Okay, barring, and you know, knock on wood, I don't wanna jinx it, and I'm not announcing it yet, but that, I mean, we're working towards that, so, hopefully we'll be able to have a subscription option very soon.
01:35:15.000He's just saying, like, I'm great, you know?
01:35:16.000And that's, you know, some would say that's prideful, but it's not necessarily blasphemous.
01:35:24.000Certainly you would say it's worse, you know, maybe people say it's splitting hairs But certainly you'd say it's worse to say I'm the new Jesus than to say I am a god or you know I know he's the most high.
01:35:43.000That's just like gross and blasphemous and disgusting and
01:35:50.000I'm honestly glad that I don't that I'm not involved with that anymore because that's just totally indefensible.
01:35:56.000I could never stand by that and it would put me in a tough position because you know I love him as a guy and like I like the music but that's just blasphemy you can't tolerate that at all it's totally intolerable for somebody that's and that's not even I mean you could say sexual stuff even and he'd say oh that's not that's really not what you're supposed to do like I said about his other songs
01:36:20.000But to go and say, I'm the new Jesus, that's just totally beyond the pale, totally unacceptable.
01:36:28.000And, you know, you want to be shocking, you want to be provocative.
01:36:34.000I think you can have some latitude as an artist.
01:37:29.000But okay, maybe And I'm being I'm being as liberal as possible here I'm saying if you're as liberal as possible, you might say okay, maybe but you really shouldn't But this is just so outside of what's okay.
01:37:44.000It's just immoral blatantly immoral and
01:37:51.000It's one thing to offend Christians by being scandalous.
01:37:59.000It's another thing to offend Christians by being blasphemous.
01:38:02.000I mean, they're both bad, but one is way worse, in my opinion.
01:38:10.000It's so funny because Daniel Schmidt, who I flew out to meet Ye to be a fucking nice guy, he stabbed me in the back over his principled objection to the fact that Ali was working for Ye, but he'll stand by while this shit is going on.
01:38:25.000So yeah, a lot of integrity over there.
01:38:28.000I'm- I have so much integrity, I'm gonna throw Nick under the bus because I have so much integrity.
01:38:33.000But, you know, Ye's out there saying, I'm the new Jesus and he's huffing the guy's fucking farts.
01:40:05.000I really stuck my neck out for him and defended him, even just yesterday, and said, I think he's a sincere Christian, I think he's a sincere guy, blah blah blah.
01:40:18.000And then he comes out and says, I'm the new Jesus.
01:40:21.000Like, you should feel shame for saying that.
01:40:24.000You should feel deep, oppressive shame for having said that.
01:40:28.000It should not—nobody should ever say that as a real Christian flippantly.
01:40:34.000Like, if I ever said anything like that, I would be mortified.
01:40:39.000Even if I was trying to be funny, or whatever, I would feel a dreadful sense of shame and remorse, and that should be crushing.
01:41:02.000Whatever cuz like I said, I more than most people more than many Catholics.
01:41:07.000I I think there should be some license but Not for that So I did not like that at all didn't like it one bit But yeah, so that that totally Offended me and really and I'm not easy to the old that's one of the only things you can't say to offend me I'm not offended really by anything other than that and
01:41:31.000So I didn't like that, but, um... And the production, I think, was better before.
01:41:36.000I don't like the stadium chant production, and I like, um... I liked how it was before, and before those lyrics.
01:41:44.000And I liked... I thought he really improved Beg Forgiveness.
01:41:48.000The new version of Beg Forgiveness was very good.
01:42:11.000So that that was fire the ending of beg forgiveness the new part that he added for the New York listening party I thought that was really good and To be honest though.
01:42:21.000I don't I don't love most of the songs.
01:45:38.000I think that's really tight and He's kind of took the Donda thing from like a monochromatic black to like a Halloween horror like dark thing and I I think it's very good Sort of morbid so I I love this aesthetic Love the fit love the mask Love love all that
01:46:46.000I think that's what makes him a great producer, is that he's soulful, compared to some of these other guys.
01:46:52.000So I love that I love the there's like just enough gospel inspiration and then it's it's a little Grungy, it's a little industrial like Yeezus, but it's not over-the-top so So I love the new style.
01:47:07.000That's why I've loved Donda 2 because I think he's been inventing this new style Vultures has more of the house vibe Donda 2 is more industrial gospel.
01:48:33.000And he reminds me of, like, Paul McCartney in that sense.
01:48:36.000Like, Paul McCartney, I don't, like, I think John Lennon was the superior songwriter, but Paul McCartney just had, he has just music in his soul.
01:48:55.000And I feel like Kanye has something very similar, just the creativity to just endlessly create new sounds, new melodies, and it's always good.
01:49:04.000I've rarely heard him make something that I really don't like.
01:49:39.000They got a couple songs that are a little different.
01:49:42.000But for the most part when you think of Led Zeppelin you think of like one sound.
01:49:49.000So that's why the Beatles were so great because they were versatile and they had everything from Love Me Do all the way to Day in the Life or whatever.
01:50:02.000So that is probably why he has been so
01:50:40.000Anthem it's got these electronic influences from like Daft Punk, but then you go and listen to Yeezus, and it's like completely different You know the the album covers minimalistic the it's um Mike Dean production, so it's experimental industrial Totally different vibe
01:59:53.000Also, do you know this Keith Woods guy on Twitter and Cozy?
01:59:57.000I watch on Rumble, but I heard you stream on his Cozy site so I was wondering if you knew him.
02:00:01.000Any chance you could get me an autograph?
02:00:06.000LondonWog sent $5, Karlin says that Boomer Putin got the narratives mixed up.
02:00:11.000Says that Putin should have focused on NATO expansion and tranny toilets for American rightoids while saving the regathering of the Russian lands history lecture for his domestic base.
02:01:52.000I don't have the answer, I just know the question.
02:02:14.000That's the difference like we I seek to have the answer but it's really in knowing the right questions really knowing the right form as opposed to What they are doing so and that's because I'm talking to young people I'm talking to young people and
02:02:32.000I'm interested in young people advancing their career, going into university, networking, reading, reading books, getting involved with technology.
02:02:45.000So it's not even necessarily you need to read Plato and Aristotle, but you need to... We need young people to develop all their talents to the fullest potential.
02:02:54.000That's the only way to achieve any kind of real change.
02:03:00.000As opposed to, yeah, what these other guys are doing.
02:10:01.000When you're 25, it's like you have a different hat on.
02:10:03.000Not like it happens on your 25th birthday, but once you kind of cross that threshold, there is... I felt like there was a noticeable difference.
02:10:11.000I don't know about you guys, but when I reached more or less this age, I felt a lot more stable.
02:10:20.000I mean you know when I was younger I was very rambunctious and I still am but I was a lot more I'd have I still have a bad temper but I had an extremely bad temper and just very impulsive and no patience I still am like that in a lot of ways but just less so but that's that's how it felt for me
02:14:18.000I think it was completely... When I say without substance, I mean, he talked, but there was nothing profound or new.
02:14:30.000So it had the same or as much substance as anything that the Russian government has said in an official capacity at any time in the last 10 years.
02:14:40.000Because they'd even talked about this kind of stuff after the coup in 2014.
02:14:47.000So that's why I feel like there was just nothing and that's why no one had a takeaway because there was nothing new there at all.
02:14:55.000So I disagree with that characterization.
02:20:04.000I mean, like I said yesterday, I think he's intelligent, and I think that he's always effective, or he's a competent leader, but I'm not necessarily being critical of him more than I'm being critical of people saying that there was something new.
02:20:22.000I'm simply saying that the style was very formal and official.
02:20:31.000And I think that shows that he wasn't trying to appeal to a Western audience.
02:20:35.000So it's not even necessarily a criticism.
02:20:36.000When I say he didn't say anything, I don't mean that's because he's dumb or he was trying to but failed.
02:20:42.000I'm saying I think that was a deliberate tactic.
02:20:44.000So that's just like a retarded way to interpret what I said.
02:20:51.000Sonny Groper sent $3, have you weighed pros and cons of Nikki's social media required id policy?
02:21:22.000I'm not going to pull that up right now.
02:21:45.000A younger cousin of mine has been watching Charlie Kirk quite recently and getting red-pilled.
02:21:50.000He's not aware of the things that I know and believes that I'm a cucked liberal who's falling for the college scam because I'm getting an advanced degree.
02:24:22.000Albert Castro sent $3, we need more Biden conferences.
02:24:29.000Patriot Media sent $20, where is the limit for the Catholic Church's authoritative claim of its oral tradition when it comes to biblical practice that is counter or totally absent from the Bible?
02:24:39.000Do you feel incapable of understanding God's Word yourself?
02:24:42.000I am sure a smart guy like you has noticed contradiction in Catholicism and the Bible.
02:25:34.000The weak point of National Socialism ideology is an interpretation of Christianity in the light of the science of Ariosophy, rather than the Ariosophy in the light of Christianity.
02:25:43.000Okay, thanks for your $3 hot take at 2 a.m.
