00:01:16.000I mean, there was the announcement with the tariffs this afternoon where President Trump signed into law his tariffs on aluminum and steel.
00:01:23.000And what a tremendous press conference with the steel and aluminum industry workers.
00:01:28.000And then just shortly after, it was announced that there was going to be an announcement at 7 o'clock Eastern Standard Time made by a South Korean official who announced that.
00:01:38.000President Trump will be meeting with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong un, before May.
00:01:46.000I think we'll tackle that one first because that is the newest, that is the most fresh.
00:01:50.000And we talked a little bit about this on Tuesday, I believe.
00:01:54.000Tuesday or Monday, we talked about North Korea.
00:01:57.000And there were rumors because of the South Korean delegation sent to North Korea that the North Korean regime expressed an interest in meeting with the United States.
00:02:08.000There had been this opening of diplomacy, this opening of relations between the Two Koreas during the Olympics.
00:02:14.000The South Koreans hosted the North Koreans.
00:02:16.000The South Koreans sent a delegation to North Korea.
00:02:19.000And there was a meeting earlier this week where North Korea made a promise to suspend their ballistic missile testing, to suspend their nuclear testing, and they expressed an interest in meeting with the United States.
00:02:29.000And they'll have official summit talks between South and North Korea later in the year.
00:02:34.000Well, today we heard it, and earlier in the week we expressed some skepticism, and so did the president.
00:02:38.000The president, in his press conference with the Swedish prime minister, he said, you know what, look, Very good that the North Koreans are open to diplomacy.
00:02:49.000And we'll see how it works out with South and North Korea.
00:02:52.000And so it was optimistic, but it was cautiously optimistic.
00:02:55.000And we talked a little bit about the planned potential Syria strike later in the year with regard to the Assad government's treatment of East Ghouta with potentially chemical weapons.
00:03:06.000And we viewed it in the context of that, in the context of the madman remarks he made last week.
00:03:10.000And now, but now finally, we see the Trump administration's official response to this invitation.
00:03:15.000Obviously, this was a much more serious invitation, as was maybe thought earlier in the week, and President Trump accepted it and said that he will meet with Kim Jong un before May.
00:03:25.000Now, here's what's interesting Kim Jong un, in reaching out to the United States, he said, We want to meet, and he also gave some preliminary concessions.
00:03:33.000Now, remember, President Trump said, I will not meet with North Korea unless they agree to denuclearize.
00:03:40.000And North Korea said, No, we will not agree to any preconditions.
00:03:43.000We will not agree to any concessions before the meeting begins.
00:03:47.000And although they didn't commit to Totally to getting rid of their nuclear weapons.
00:03:50.000They didn't promise or begin that process.
00:03:53.000They did say, until the talks are held, we promise to suspend missile and nuclear testing.
00:03:59.000And additionally, Kim Jong un also said that he is committed to denuclearization.
00:04:35.000This is not rhetoric that is, oh, well, you know, they're probably just lying.
00:04:40.000When North Korea says we are committed to these goals, I think you could view that with skepticism and you have to be cautious about it.
00:04:46.000But that's a very sharp departure from the rhetoric that we were hearing from them for the past year or for the past year and a half.
00:04:53.000Since President Trump's inauguration in January, January 20th, 2017, The rhetoric from Kim Jong un and from North Korea has been, we will never not denuclearize.
00:05:11.000We are going to continue to bolster it and increase it and strengthen it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:05:17.000And this was the official rhetoric from Kim Jong un and from North Korea for a year and a half, at least under Trump, and for a long time before Trump.
00:05:24.000Since Kim Jong il died, this was the official line of the party, which was, we are not giving up the nuclear program.
00:05:30.000So that they are committed, that's why this is different.
00:05:33.000So, I see already a lot of people online.
00:05:34.000They're saying, this is, you know, we should be very skeptical.
00:05:41.000But they say, oh, well, nothing good can come of this.
00:05:44.000They're just giving us the runaround in X, Y, and Z.
00:05:47.000But in so many different respects, this invitation, this opening is different from previous ones.
00:05:52.000And for starters, just without even looking at what was said, which we can view as skepticism, we have to look at the things that we know about North Korea.
00:06:00.000Qualitatively, what are the things that we know to be different?
00:06:04.000About this round of talks as opposed to previous rounds of talks.
00:06:07.000This is the first time, this is the first time since we've been dealing with North Korea since the 1950s that we have China on our side.
00:06:15.000This is the first time that any president, that any administration has made a serious attempt to engage China, to bring China aboard, to cooperate in getting North Korea to denuclearize.
00:06:27.000No other president has attempted this, not Bush, not Clinton, not Obama, at least not effectively.
00:06:33.000And President Trump, unlike any other president, he saw where North Korea was drawing their strength from.
00:06:39.000How they were able to weather American sanctions, isolationism from the American and Western led world order, financial system, diplomatic, military system, international institution system.
00:06:51.000They were getting their energy from China.
00:07:03.000And so over the course of the Trump administration, you've seen China implement increasingly stringent and tighter sanctions against North Korea.
00:07:13.000They shut down all kinds of businesses doing business with North Korea.
00:07:16.000North Korea is set to run out of foreign currency in very short order because they have very few businesses left, very few sectors or industries left that are connected to the outside world that are doing business and getting U.S. dollars or Chinese RMB or euros or anything like that because of increased sanctions, not only from the United States, but from China.
00:07:36.000So we see the involvement of China, which is very different.
00:07:38.000And we saw even from the Beijing government this week, They said that this would be the time for North Korea and the United States to have talks to denuclearize.
00:07:49.000You see increased pressure from the international community led by the United States.
00:07:53.000We've never seen a sanctions regime stronger than the current regime that's been implemented over the course of the last year and a half by President Trump.
00:08:01.000And the prevailing wisdom under Bush and Obama was we're doing all that we can.
00:09:22.000And so he put out three carrier strike groups, which is an aircraft carrier and a number of battleships, a number of destroyers and submarines and all kinds of things.
00:09:32.000And they did a three carrier strike group drill, which is unheard of.
00:09:35.000Nobody's ever seen military power like this.
00:09:38.000And not only did he have drills with the United States and South Korea in the Pacific, and not only did he answer every North Korean missile test with a Minuteman missile test, an ICBM test from California or from Alaska, not only did he do ABM tests, not only did he start to implement the THAAD system, but additionally, he followed through.
00:10:15.000That sends a message to North Korea that when President Trump says do what we say or else, there is at least the potential, there is at least the possibility.
00:10:24.000It is a plausible outcome that he means it, that it's not a bluff.
00:10:28.000So, it's very important then, for example, in April of 2017, when he said, We are going to punish the Assad government.
00:10:36.000He said, If the Assad government uses chemical weapons, we'll punish them, and they use them.
00:10:40.000And then he said, We're going to do something about it.
00:10:42.000And then he actually did, and then he followed through.
00:11:01.000That he said he was going to do something militarily in response to, in very particular order, in response to a rogue regime amassing and using weapons of mass destruction, and then he followed through on it.
00:11:13.000He made a promise, he followed through, and he set a precedent.
00:11:18.000He did this with Iran when he supported the rebels there.
00:11:21.000The mix up in the Middle East with Saudi Arabia, he set a new tone, a new precedent with diplomacy when he reset relations with Saudi Arabia.
00:11:30.000And you see his engagement with the Pacific, with China, with some of these other adversaries.
00:11:34.000And he's really just fundamentally changing the way that the United States interacts and engages with the world.
00:11:53.000I'm not saying that because there's a very good chance that North Korea is just giving us a line.
00:11:58.000There is a very strong possibility that North Korea is wasting our time.
00:12:03.000And they're biding their time and they're stalling.
00:12:05.000They invite President Trump over for high level negotiations, they give him the runaround.
00:12:10.000It lasts months and months and months.
00:12:11.000And in the meantime, They perfect their nuclear weapons program.
00:12:14.000That's a very real possibility, probably a likely scenario.
00:12:18.000But if we're looking at the qualitative differences between previous talks, previous engagement with North Korea, and this engagement with North Korea, there is also a strong thing to consider that this very well could be a genuine peace talk.
00:12:36.000But I think if we're observing the things that we know to be true, the things that have happened, which we can confirm, not this like West Wing rumors about what's going on.
00:12:44.000And possibilities, but what's established, what has been established, how we know national or nation state actors to operate, how we know people to operate on the foreign policy stage, given what we know, I think we can project that this will have a higher probability of success than previous attempts.
00:13:02.000And so that's, you know, that's not really, I don't know if that's a slogan or a catchphrase, but I think that's basically the prediction that we have.
00:13:08.000That's basically the picture of what's going to happen that we have right now.
00:13:12.000They very well could give us a runaround, and it very well could be.
00:13:15.000I think it's highly likely that this is the case.
00:13:17.000They've done it before, they'll do it again.
00:13:19.000But we have a strong reason to believe that we have a better chance now than ever before because of the differences in how the Trump administration has approached North Korea.
00:13:28.000And there was a report I was reading in a Chinese paper the other day.
00:13:31.000It wasn't in Chinese, but it was from Beijing.
00:13:34.000And they said that actually in North Korea, they see Trump very differently than Barack Obama.
00:13:39.000They see Donald Trump as a wild card, the people and also the regime.
00:13:42.000They see Donald Trump as somebody who they don't know if he's going to engage militarily because they've seen him engage militarily in other places.
00:14:33.000So the disrespect that President Trump has shown towards Kim Jong un, and now Kim Jong un is taking the initiative and inviting him to his country for a face to face negotiation.
00:14:45.000I mean, that's a tremendous level of respect and legitimacy that he's affording to President Trump in the eyes of his own people on the world stage.
00:14:52.000You also have to take that into consideration.
00:14:54.000I don't think Kim Jong Un would be making this overture, making this initiative to a president that's disrespected him like he has, if there wasn't something he was going to offer him.
00:15:05.000And look, as cautious as you can be about the North Korean talks, what I am confident in, why I'm confident in this, is that President Trump said, Great, we'll meet with you.
00:15:18.000And we're not letting up the sanctions in the meantime.
00:15:21.000Sanctions are not being loosened at all until the talks.
00:15:24.000And additionally, A military drill with South Korea and the United States will move forward later in the year, regardless.
00:15:30.000So I think that is the white pill there.
00:15:33.000I think that's the silver lining that if North Korea is giving us the runaround, they're doing it at tremendous risk to their own well-being.
00:15:42.000They're doing it very stupidly because we're not giving anything up.
00:15:47.000We're not giving up the military pressure on drills.
00:15:49.000The best thing that could happen is while they are in talks with North Korea, President Trump takes more action against Syria and does another missile strike equal to or greater than the one last year.
00:15:59.000That could be the best thing that could happen.
00:16:01.000Not because I want to see conflict in Syria escalate.
00:16:57.000Exactly the kind of stuff that we predicted last year during the campaign how he would be different, how President Trump would be different.
00:17:04.000This is why it was so crucial that we got an outsider in and a real outsider.
00:17:08.000That wasn't just rhetoric, that wasn't just.
00:17:33.000That's why it's so crucial when you're looking at the calculus of this president that he is actually an outsider, that he was not a politician.
00:17:41.000That's why you have to analyze him differently than anybody else because he doesn't play by the same rules.
00:17:46.000He does not have, his life did not have the same experience, the same physiognomy of that of a politician.
00:17:54.000The incentives, the relationships, the interaction with people and institutions, it just wasn't the same.
00:18:00.000It was not arbitrary that he was a real estate developer, that he was in the private sector where he had to compete with people, where he had to understand human nature and different actors pursuing their interests and how to negotiate with them, how to negotiate and maneuver with leverage.
00:18:16.000And that's why it's different this time around.
00:18:47.000That kind of thing happening a year ago?
00:18:49.000Can anybody imagine going back in time to, you know, when I was a young boy?
00:18:54.000People say, you know, you're young now, but when I was a youngster watching the celebrity apprentice on television in my pajamas and you watch this guy on television, who would imagine 10 years later he's conducting nuclear diplomacy as the president?
00:19:08.000Just, you know, you have to take a step back and think of the scope of it all.
00:19:12.000You have to put it all in perspective.
00:19:15.000But the real thing that I was going to get into, the real thing we were going to sink our teeth into, Before this North Korea business was International Women's Day.
00:19:24.000We have so much going on with North Korea, so much going on with terrorists, but we have to take a step back and pause and look at International Women's Day.
00:19:32.000So, all around the world, businesses and banks and countries and social media, and there's protests celebrating International Women's Day.
00:19:42.000And you see something like this you see the International Women's Day, and it really gives you a lot of pause.
00:19:47.000I think people really have to look at the way the world is today, the consensus, many of the things we take for granted, and really break down and ask ourselves how these things came to be.
00:19:59.000You know, we have this International Women's Day.
00:20:01.000And first, before we get into women and men in 2018 and how we're going to break down the complementarity between men and women and why it's significant the different gender roles and what they are and all the rest.
00:20:13.000But first, think about International Women's Day.
00:20:15.000Think of the language that's used on a day like today and with women in general, with women and girls.
00:20:21.000You hear a lot of words like empowerment.
00:20:29.000And we see these ads that are saying, you know, you go, girl.
00:20:32.000And what's curious about a day like International Women's Day, and what's curious about the language and the propaganda, is the fundamental paradox that underwrites this.
00:20:41.000The fundamental paradox that underwrites a lot of the so called identity politics, as the left has it in America today.
00:20:49.000I happen to be a big believer in identity politics in the sense that I don't think there is politics outside of identity.
00:20:55.000But I'm talking specifically with regard to the victim politics of the left, which is to say, the paradox that underwrites this for blacks, for women.
00:21:05.000For Hispanics, for Muslims, for homosexuals, for transgenders, for all the different minorities, the victim groups, is this curious paradox that at once women are tough, women are smart.
00:21:24.000And actually, studies say that women are tougher and men just need them to show them how it goes.
00:21:29.000And at once, there's this message of they are equal or better.
00:21:33.000But then at the same time, Doesn't giving women their own day, doesn't that it's necessary, that it's incumbent on businesses and banks and leaders to give them an extra leg up, to give them their own day, to give them a special consideration, a peculiar distinction between men and say, you have to be lifted up, you have to be empowered from without, not from within.
00:21:58.000It's not you who lifts yourself up, you have to be lifted up from without.
00:22:01.000You need other powerful people to come in and lift yourself up.
00:22:04.000And this is the peculiar contradiction.
00:22:07.000Which underwrites all the politics of minorities in these different groups, all groups except for white people, except for white men, straight white men, really, straight white Christian American men in particular, if we're going to get down to the details.
00:22:21.000But that's the paradox that underwrites all under people, which is at once they are strong, at once they are warriors, but at the same time they need.
00:22:29.000At the same time they need, they have to have this support, they have to have their own day.
00:22:35.000We have to recognize them, we have to distinguish them.
00:22:37.000And that is, of course, contradictory.
00:23:00.000That doesn't mean women are superior and men are inferior.
00:23:03.000There's this very interesting, another interesting contradiction that exists today where if you're against egalitarianism, which egalitarianism is radical equality, it's the belief that, you know, we're all equal.
00:23:37.000We also hear the same kind of rhetoric with race.
00:23:40.000If you believe that white and black people are different, you must necessarily believe that one is better than the other.
00:23:47.000If you believe that Christianity and Islam are different at a fundamental level, you must necessarily believe that one is better than the other.
00:23:54.000If you think that these people belong in that country so that they can be happy and do their own thing, well, you just must think that this is your country because you're better.
00:24:13.000When we say strong, strong is a very loaded term.
00:24:16.000Or if you say something like men are stronger than women, and we all know what that means, they'll say women are strong because they endure hardships you can't even imagine.
00:24:23.000And maybe while that's certainly true, they have emotional fortitude.
00:24:42.000You know, here's a very interesting thing about their brain chemistry where people might say about men being smarter or women being smarter.
00:24:49.000The truth of the matter is that women on average, I believe, they have a higher intelligence.
00:24:53.000I don't know if I would agree with that, but there are studies that say that women on average have a higher intelligence.
00:24:58.000But at the same time, Time, men have a higher spread of intelligence, that they have more savants, they have more geniuses, more people at the upper end, and they also have more dummies, more people that are under the average, more people that are going to be on the lower, the left side of the bell curve.
00:25:16.000I think that epitomizes it, where just because they are different, just because there is a greater spread and one has maybe a higher average, that doesn't mean that one is better than the other.
00:25:27.000That doesn't mean that, well, men, because they have more geniuses, they are smarter, they are superior.
00:25:33.000And because women have a higher average, they are smarter, they are superior, but we just allow them to be different.
00:25:47.000Here's why the transgenderism and all the rest is so destructive.
00:25:50.000The reason why there are differences, the reason why we believe in difference, and that's not problematic for our worldview, is because we believe in the comparative advantage of men and women.
00:26:00.000The reason that they can be different while being equal, Is because they were both made to complement each other.
00:26:07.000They were made to satisfy different roles, different responsibilities.
00:26:11.000If you believe that men and women, their sole task, their sole obligation in life is to become wealthy and to pursue pleasure and to consume, well, then your world, you would have a big problem with men and women being different.
00:26:25.000Because if both people are one and the same and pursuing the same goals, they're just these atomized individuals and all they want is to have big houses and fast cars.
00:26:34.000And they want to have full bellies and a lot of sexual pleasure, then yes, this would be a hierarchy.
00:26:40.000You would say that men are better than women because they're more aggressive and they do have more geniuses and they're more assertive and they take much more risk than women.
00:26:50.000And you would say that yes, if we're judging it just by this metric at pursuing the same goal, that men are better if you're an egalitarian.
00:26:57.000But here's why that's not a trouble for our worldview.
00:26:59.000We say that women are better, they are better suited and they are superior in their function, in their role.
00:27:06.000Which is, of course, the birthing, the rearing, the nurturing of children.
00:27:11.000And men are better and superior in their domain, which is to protect the woman, to go out and provide for the woman and for the family at large.
00:27:19.000And so, when you have a worldview that's constructed, and this is why our worldview is coherent, the reason that we can allot for different genders, different sexes that are, in the real sense of the word, different is because we see them as having different final causes in an Aristotelian sense, in a teleological sense.
00:27:37.000We see men and women not as like they came out of nowhere.
00:28:02.000In a very liberal, capitalist, late stage capitalist sense of the word, they all just want the same thing.
00:28:08.000They're all directed towards the same goal.
00:28:11.000If there is no goal directed in this, if there is, they're all directed towards the same thing.
00:28:15.000Well, we see men and women as created for a purpose.
00:28:18.000That's where religion and metaphysics come into it.
00:28:20.000We see men and women as created towards a specific end with a certain goal in mind.
00:28:26.000That men would serve this function, and that's why they're different in this way.
00:28:29.000That's why they're better in some respects than women in their own domain.
00:28:33.000And women are better in some respects than men in their domain because they are designed, they have a goal directedness, they are aimed towards a specific end the rearing and the nurturing of children for one, and the protecting and the provision for women and children in the other.
00:28:48.000And here's why this is so fundamental.
00:29:48.000So we'll just have to deal with it a little bit darker.
00:29:51.000The studio's having some trouble here, but I assure you that's just optical illusion.
00:29:56.000So the reason why this is consequential, when we talk about goal directedness, why this is not just pie in the sky abstraction talk, here's why this is important.
00:30:04.000Men have certain biological differences from women, and they have spiritual differences from women as well.
00:30:11.000We believe, at least we in a traditional sense of the word, that men are not just material.
00:30:18.000They're not just atoms and neurons and flesh and blood, but they also have an essence.
00:30:38.000But you have a masculine spirit, a masculine energy, and women have the same.
00:30:43.000Now, men and women were created to complement each other, not just biologically, in that you have male and female parts, and it's not, again, that's not an arbitrary thing, that it fits, it makes sense.
00:30:54.000You know, that if you look at a plug that goes into a wall socket, it just makes sense.
00:30:59.000That's how it was designed to work and towards a certain end.
00:31:02.000And not only do you have a biological complementarity in that sense, but you also have a complementarity in a social sense.
00:31:08.000That the different virtues of men and women complement each other.
00:31:11.000That a man is aggressive and they take risks and they're strong and they have to have a predatory animalistic instinct because they may have to kill people that want to hurt their family and they may have to kill animals, ferocious animals to defend for themselves, at least in ancient times.
00:31:26.000Nowadays, they have to compete for resources.
00:31:29.000And so they're strong and they compliment the woman in that they have to protect.
00:31:32.000They have to have this particular energy to make up for the women where they are softer and they are more gentle and they don't have those same capacities.
00:31:40.000And in the same sense, women are patient.
00:31:42.000And they are caring and they're nurturing and they're refined and they temper that animosity, that predatory instinct in men.
00:31:48.000They're calm and they are able to rear the children with warmth, with tenderness.
00:31:52.000They are there to temper the masculinity of men.
00:31:55.000And so there is this complementarity on a biological and a spiritual level.
00:32:00.000And when this is functioning, when this is in harmony, when the complementarity exists on both levels and you have marriages and when these things are all syncing up together, you have marriages and long marriages and healthy marriages.
00:32:15.000This all contributes to what we're all here for at the end of the day.
00:32:18.000Kids, happy, healthy, well developed, well adjusted children.
00:32:24.000If mommy and daddy are masculine and feminine, and you have a real father who is a man and a real mother who is a woman, and they're functional together, and they love each other, and they have an enduring marriage, and they compliment each other in those ways, hey, then the kids are going to be okay.
00:32:41.000They understand what it means to be a man, they understand what it means to be a woman.
00:32:49.000They love themselves and they're happy and they're good and they go out and they meet up with other men and women and they can procreate for the next generation.
00:32:56.000This is how the world is supposed to function.
00:32:58.000This is the foundation of my worldview.
00:33:00.000My worldview is not based on, at the end of the day, it's not so much based on race.
00:33:11.000If this is an order, if this triangle is working properly and men and women are okay and the kids are okay, we are so much better off.
00:33:20.000No matter what economic system, no matter what anything else looks like, if this is in harmony, odds are you're going to fix the problems that you have, whether demographic, health care, immigration, any problem that you have.
00:33:32.000If this gets back in order, all of this contributes to solving problems.
00:33:47.000Well, what happens is nowadays you have all these things are out of whack.
00:33:52.000Men are becoming feminized and women are becoming masculinized.
00:33:55.000When they mix together in schools, when they grow up together in schools and they grow up side by side, and you have the elimination of male and female spaces, men and women have been desegregated.
00:34:07.000You have kind of this process of osmosis where the women pick up the traits of the men and they become coarse, they become profane, they become inferior men, in a phrase, to borrow a phrase from Yaki.
00:35:26.000They're either not made, or they come up in broken homes, or they come up in single parent homes, and then they don't know what a man is or what a woman is.
00:35:36.000They don't know how they're supposed to relate to the opposite sex.
00:35:38.000They don't have both energies in their parenting.
00:35:42.000So, this is at the end of the day, if you think about why we're here, what we're directed towards, why we have certain, you know, what liberals might call vestigial reproductive organs, why it's all like this, this is the reason.
00:35:55.000And this is fundamentally the difference in worldview between traditionalists and liberals or the left or, you know, whatever you want to call it.
00:36:04.000The real fundamental difference in worldview is not between right wing people and left wing people.
00:36:09.000Capitalists and communists, it's not, you know, the real racists and what the media calls racist.
00:36:15.000The real difference is do you believe in truth?
00:36:18.000Do you believe that the world as it was 50 years ago was a place of racism and sexism and xenophobia and misogyny and homophobia?
00:36:27.000Do you think that all the prejudices and all the traditions of the past were arbitrary?
00:36:33.000They were the result of accident or ignorance?
00:36:36.000Or do you believe that the world has a rhyme and a reason to it?
00:36:39.000Do you believe that the world has a reason that things exist the way they are?
00:36:42.000Do you believe that things are different and they're directed towards goals?
00:36:45.000Or do you believe that we're all just different flesh animals?
00:36:49.000We're all the same, all pink on the inside.
00:36:52.000And everything that came before 1991, or everything that came before the United Nations, or everything that came before the Atlantic Charter, was just ignorant and it was bigoted.
00:37:01.000They just didn't know as much as we did.
00:37:03.000And that's the difference between the two different worldviews.
00:37:05.000That's why these things can never be reconciled.
00:37:08.000I don't think you'll ever resolve this with a debate because we're operating on two different dimensions, two different planets.
00:37:14.000Different presuppositions, different metaphysics.
00:37:18.000And until we can address these differences on that level, until we can sit down and have a debate about our political differences on that higher level of metaphysics, debating the presuppositions that underlie the philosophy and the ideology and therefore the political opinions, we're never going to resolve it.
00:37:36.000But I think more and more you're seeing people come around to it.
00:37:38.000I think Generation Z is coming around to it because it's intuitive, it's natural to people.
00:37:43.000You understand that all the left wing, Social experiments and social projects, they entail rewriting.
00:38:20.000It's natural, it's intuitive that the world is the way it is.
00:38:23.000That boys are going to be boys and girls are going to be girls.
00:38:26.000And so I think Generation Z is waking up to it.
00:38:29.000And maybe possibly the best example of this, which I like to bring up, is the movie Fifty Shades of Grey, or the book Fifty Shades of Grey.
00:38:37.000Because here is a book which is degenerate, which is disgusting, but here's a book which at the end of the day has a very perverted but traditional gender role.
00:38:46.000It has a very perverted but traditional worldview.
00:38:48.000In the sense that you strip away all the sick and depraved stuff, and here is a man being masculine and aggressive, and it's taken, it's perverted, it's taken to these cartoonish, it's turned into a caricature, a mockery of what it's supposed to be.
00:39:03.000But you boil it down, and here you have this uncontrolled, raw, and masculine energy, which is problematic.
00:39:09.000And then you have the woman, who is equally problematic that she's submissive and all the rest, and in a very sick and perverted way.
00:39:16.000But look at who supported that project.
00:39:19.000In the age of feminism, in the age of female empowerment, in the age of we're free from our biological and sociological constraints, marriage is slavery, and having kids is a shackle, it's a ball and chain around the ankle of women and their potential to break the glass ceiling.
00:39:45.000And if you're really scrutinizing, you can see this everywhere.
00:39:49.000The writing on the wall is everywhere where women are craving real men again.
00:39:54.000They're craving real masculinity again.
00:39:57.000And men, I think, are craving real femininity in the same way.
00:39:59.000Problem is, because the society has told men and women that these are wrong, If you play into that, if women want to have a strong husband and they want to have kids and they want to be a mom, well, they're oppressed.
00:40:17.000You have to trust the communist literature.
00:40:19.000You have to trust the Marxist propaganda.
00:40:21.000People just repress these natural instincts, they repress these intuitive feelings.
00:40:28.000And naturally, they come to the surface in unhealthy ways, in perverted, distorted ways.
00:40:34.000And I think that's what you're seeing on both sides of the equation.
00:40:37.000I think in many ways, you know, people talk about the trap question in the far right.
00:40:42.000I think an anime, I think this is a perversion of men's desire for feminine women again.
00:40:48.000I think with women, when you hear a lot of this stuff about, you know, Fifty Shades of Grey and that kind of thing, I think it's equally their desire for strong and masculine men.
00:41:09.000Not about people as ends in themselves, but as connected, as part of a process.
00:41:14.000I think that's another fundamental difference the liberals and the left, and maybe more broadly, neoliberals, neoconservatives, these utopian, these progressive people, they see men and women, they see the individual as an end in itself.
00:42:20.000We're a part of a continuum, past, present, and future, that we have parents, and their parents had parents, and now here we are, and we'll have children, and our children will have children.
00:42:31.000And we're not just connected vertically in time, but also horizontally.
00:42:35.000We're in a community among other people, and we have to be considerate and cognizant of those other people.
00:42:40.000And you're in a community with other men and women.
00:42:42.000You're in a community with other men, and also other women, and also people in your nation and your religious affiliation.
00:42:47.000And I think that's another fundamental difference.
00:42:49.000But that's what we have to think about on Women's Day.
00:42:51.000We have to really break down what are the assumptions?
00:43:44.000I think few people will acknowledge these days how much happier we would all be if we could all just be who we are, if we could all just become who we are, as Spencer likes to say, which was actually an adage that Nietzsche liked.
00:43:57.000But if we could just be who we are, if we could just be men, and women could just be women, and whites could just be whites, and blacks can be blacks, and nobody would bother saying you have to meet this expectation, you have to prove these people wrong.
00:44:09.000We'd be so much happier, folks, if we just told the truth, if we just said what's on our mind, but we can't do it or else we get fired.
00:44:43.000I guess we'll cover briefly the tariffs.
00:44:45.000And just one final note I think it does tie in pretty nicely to the men and the women's stuff.
00:44:51.000The tariffs were signed into law today on steel and aluminum, and we talked about this all week.
00:44:55.000We talked about this all week last week the benefits of tariffs, how they're bringing back millions of jobs, how they can open back our factories if done correctly, and that's great.
00:45:06.000But what's also interesting about tariffs is what they do is they prioritize production over consumption.
00:45:11.000And that's just the last note that I will leave on tariffs.
00:46:59.000And then, look, you know, you can read into it the context that you will, but look, you work hard, you put out consistent content, you do your job, and odds are you'll find success.
00:47:09.000It's not guaranteed, but this is how you can increase your odds.
00:47:12.000So, for those people out there who don't do their job, who don't work, who aren't consistent, that's why.
00:47:57.000And that's why, after this whole Michigan debacle, whereas before I could have said maybe I was friendly with Spencer, maybe we were somewhat aligned, now I say, You know, I think personally he's a nice guy.
00:48:07.000I think personally he's very smart and he's charismatic and he's a good conversationalist.
00:48:13.000But I just can't be affiliated with somebody who works with the Traditionalist Workers' Party.
00:48:30.000I don't care what you believe in, but you show up with these people and they've got their tattoos, shaved heads, they're in the black outfits, the jackboots.
00:48:39.000And they're throwing up the Roman salutes, yelling neckbeards.
00:49:26.000And also, I was checking out the nutritional information on the meal that I had last night, which was a quarter pounder with cheese and a four piece buttermilk tenders.
00:49:38.000That was actually a really good source of protein and of calories.
00:51:04.000A lot of the stuff he said resonated with me because he was drawing connections that were interesting that I hadn't thought of before about the administration, the Obama administration, and who was involved and where they came from and other things.
00:51:18.000But by the same token, are we supposed to believe that somebody with that kind of clearance are going to put out their message on poll?
00:51:24.000I mean, it's just a little bit convoluted.
00:51:37.000They're destroying the dignity of women.
00:51:40.000They're destroying the dignity of men, what it means to be men and women.
00:51:44.000How is it empowering that they want women to go out there and be these degenerates?
00:51:48.000How is that empowering that they want women to degrade and debase themselves and to make themselves ugly, to make themselves obese?
00:51:56.000I mean, you look at the feminists, the people talking about female empowerment, and the physiognomy of these people tells you everything you need to know about them.
00:52:03.000That they don't take care of themselves, they hate themselves.
00:52:06.000I don't think you can't, I don't think you can not hate yourself and put your body through that with the piercings and the tattoos and you balloon up to 400 pounds and you dye your hair and the lipstick and you put your body through hell with the sexual degeneracy.
00:52:54.000It's much easier to control a population, as you just said, that sees themselves as remote and separate and distinct and alone than a sovereign and responsible community.
00:53:06.000You know, a faraway capital tries to impose its will on a community and they'll get pushback.
00:53:38.000So, strong communities that are responsible, that take care of themselves, this is the enemy of the Tyrant of the rootless international government that wants to take away your sovereignty.
00:53:49.000Magic3383 says, What's your favorite episode of Murdoch Murdoch to show everyday Trump voters?
00:54:35.000To show that to an average Trump voter, they will totally not understand anything that's in there the memes, the references, the characters that appear in there.
00:55:06.000I see some of them that are, I believe one of them made it outright illegal, didn't it?
00:55:11.000In Iowa or somewhere in the Midwest, if I'm not mistaken, which is a good thing because hopefully that'll ultimately result in it being taken up to the Supreme Court.
00:55:20.000And if it gets taken up to the Supreme Court, then we can repeal Roe v. Wade.
00:56:33.000And then he comes at me out of a clear blue sky on James Alsop's video after the split with America First Media.
00:56:40.000James did a video explaining what happened.
00:56:43.000And all pipe goes in the comments section just taking me to task over oh, Nick thinks he's working hard by going on and spouting off every day for an hour and bop, bop, bop, and jumping all over the place.
00:56:55.000And then Red Elephants jumps on, and then Millennial Lowe's jumps on.
00:56:58.000And it's just like, you know, take a dump on Nick Fest.
00:57:02.000And then, and I don't even respond to that, I don't even bring that up.
00:57:05.000And then, like a month later, he comes at me out of nowhere on Twitter, tearing me apart, saying all these nasty things.
00:58:58.000I wish I could make peace with all these people.
00:59:00.000I'm willing, and I'll put that out there right now.
00:59:02.000If anybody's out there listening, if anybody who knows these people is out there listening, Taryn McCarthy, old hype, you know, whoever it is, I'm willing and able to make amends with these people, but it has to come from both sides.
00:59:13.000You know, what happened with Patrick Casey, perfect example, where Patrick Casey, I met this guy in September, and I thought so highly of him.
00:59:21.000I said, here's a guy who's mature, who's smart, he looks like the only adult in the room.
00:59:26.000I was hanging out with all kinds of alt-right people.
00:59:28.000I had so many nice things to say about him to my friends, to people I knew.
00:59:34.000And then we got into this silly beef on Twitter, and I was upset that that had to happen because I said, here's somebody who I respect, who I think is smart, who I like.
00:59:42.000And we got into this silly fight, and I was so happy when at CPAC we were able to resolve it because I said, here is a guy who, you know, we're on the same page in many ways, and there's a mutual respect now, and that's a good thing.
00:59:54.000But, and I'd be willing to have the same arrangement with any of these other people, but they have to come back and say, you know, look, It can't work like that, where you're making ultimatums or you're throwing shade at me on the comment section and on Twitter out of nowhere.
01:00:24.000I guess if I had to pick a single moment, here would be the best moment of Charlottesville.
01:00:29.000It was just a disaster from the beginning.
01:00:32.000You know, we're marching over to McIntyre, and it was just a mess because there were more than twice the amount of counter protesters as there were protesters.
01:01:04.000It's James Alsop, it's Baked Alaska, it's Millennial Matt, my buddy Steve Chatterston, some others who were friends with James, and Bryden.
01:01:14.000And we're hanging out in the lobby of the hotel, and a couple of them are having drinks.
01:01:20.000And we're talking about, man, this is crazy.
01:01:22.000We're watching all the chaos going on outside.
01:01:24.000And then we see President Trump is set to address.
01:01:27.000He's doing a press conference, he's going to talk about Charlottesville.
01:01:31.000And we get out and we sit in front of the television, the hotel lobby, and he's talking about it.
01:01:37.000And we're like, oh boy, because he's really laying it on thick about how, you know, this is not a good thing.
01:01:42.000And then a reporter asked about Charlottesville at some point, and he made the distinction.
01:01:47.000He was going into it, and then he said, you know what, but there were very fine people on both sides.
01:01:51.000And we were yelling so loud, we all got up and cheered and were clapping.
01:01:56.000Everybody in the hotel's looking at us.
01:01:58.000That was probably the finest moment of Charlottesville because it was true.
01:02:01.000You had some very nasty people at Charlottesville, you really did.
01:02:04.000And it's dubious whether they were federal agents or not, but there were some genuinely nasty people who I disavow.
01:02:10.000But we were there because we wanted to protest the removal of the monument.
01:02:13.000We were there because we wanted to protest the removal of the Lee, the statue of Robert E. Lee, and the renaming of Lee Park.
01:02:20.000And we were there righteously, I think, to defend the cultural heritage of the United States from Marxism.
01:02:27.000And when Donald Trump acknowledged us that we were there and we were good people, and we weren't Nazis for wanting that, we weren't white supremacists for wanting that, we were fine people, that was just really a tremendous moment.
01:02:39.000And I'll never forget, I'll never forget the Brotherhood.
01:02:41.000You know, we went up to the hotel room and.
01:02:43.000You know, it was me and it was James and it was Baked and it was Matt and Baked wasn't doing so hot.
01:02:48.000His eyes were damaged after he got maced.
01:02:51.000And that's why it made it so bitter, that split with James, because it was like, you know, we shared a hotel room with you, we were hospitable to you, you know, we experienced this tough time together, and then it seemed like there was just this, you know.
01:03:05.000But we can't talk so much about that now because we're litigating.
