00:00:44.000My buddy James Alsop this evening was in a fight with Elliot Hamilton and Cassie Dillon, our two great friends, great friends of the show, really.
00:00:53.000And of course, we respect the hell out of Cassie Dillon.
00:00:56.000We respect Elliot Hamilton, even though he stutters.
00:00:59.000And you know, he's really a sweet kid.
00:01:01.000He can't help the fact that he has autism.
00:01:03.000He can't help the fact that he stutters horribly.
00:01:18.000But so, James Alsop was going after Cassie Dillon and Elliot Hamilton, of course, for the double standard that persists between Zionists and the alt-right.
00:01:29.000And it's something that is so starkly contradictory, something that is so starkly and nakedly duplicitous.
00:01:38.000The way that these people, corporate conservatives, Zionists, Jews, many others, will say that Israel's fine.
00:01:48.000Kurdistan, the ethnostate, should have their own country.
00:01:51.000But to even propose white nationalism, to even propose reduced legal immigration for this country so that white people are in a minority, forget even an ethnostate, but even propose that white people should remain in the majority, and they will not even entertain this thought as legitimate, much less debate it, much less say it has merit or understand where it comes from, they won't even legitimize it.
00:02:19.000It's identity politics, guys, which is hilarious.
00:02:22.000You know, on top of all of that, on top of the stark contradiction that you support one ethnostate, but not one for us, on top of that, which is pretty glaring and bad enough in itself, but all of this is predicated on a rejection of so called identity politics, which has no definition.
00:02:39.000This is a buzzword that was popularized by people like Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, and others, and it doesn't mean anything.
00:03:02.000Because you have all these other identities which you can proliferate for money, whether it's age, whether it's race that's non-white, ethnicity, anything else.
00:03:13.000You have young millennial or right millennial or conservative millennial and conservative boomer.
00:03:20.000Zionist conservative and on and on and on, Jewish conservative, black conservative, Hispanic conservative, Wall Street conservative, compassionate conservative, urban, rural conservative.
00:03:32.000I mean, we can have really any identity under the sun that we can identify with for our politics, and that's fine.
00:03:40.000You know, we put the spotlight on based black conservatives.
00:03:45.000How easy is it in this day and age for a young black kid to become internet famous just because he's a Republican?
00:04:02.000He can talk, you know, maybe he has this interest in politics because of his parents or whatever, but he's black and he supports Donald Trump.
00:04:10.000And because of that, he gets views, he gets Facebook shares.
00:04:14.000Nobody has a problem with identity politics.
00:04:21.000You think of what politics is, which is the fundamental affairs of a state.
00:04:27.000And of course, identity is the most crucial component of determining your position on them.
00:04:32.000Whether you're urban or rural, whether you're young or old, whether you're black or white.
00:04:38.000You don't think that identity factors into it when you talk about affirmative action, when you talk about civil rights, Black Lives Matter, police policy, when you talk about social security, immigration, and on and on and on.
00:04:53.000Of course, they like identity politics, but it comes down to identity politics is not for white people.
00:05:00.000And this is the entire paradigm that conservatives will never understand.
00:05:40.000Why do Jewish people and blacks and Hispanics in media want to keep white people down?
00:05:46.000Why are they okay with their groups organizing for their collective interests?
00:05:51.000But when we do it, it's racist, neo Nazi, because every one of them, consciously or unconsciously, some of those minority groups more than others, some with more influence more than others, they understand that if the white man ever consolidated, ever organized in our own interest, for our own people, then it would basically be up to a whim that we didn't take any of them out.
00:06:16.000We are the most benevolent, the most kind, the most welcoming of all the groups.
00:06:21.000So, I mean, that wouldn't even happen, I don't think.
00:06:24.000But they can't allow it to happen because if there were ever that one day, that off day that we decided, you know, we've kind of had enough, it's called the knockout game.
00:06:33.000White people are tired of playing it, as Sam Hyde says.
00:06:38.000You know, one day, that's all it takes, and then it's a real problem for the others.
00:06:45.000But I just see Cassie Dillon, Elliot Hamilton.
00:06:47.000And Elliot Hamilton, he's this rabid Zionist.
00:06:51.000There's a picture on his Facebook, and he's like, this guy doesn't brush his teeth, okay?
00:06:55.000He thinks he's like the smartest guy in the world.
00:06:58.000I guess sometimes you could be so smart, you don't brush your teeth.
00:07:08.000You have to be a pretty galaxy brain nibba that you don't brush your teeth or wash your hair.
00:07:15.000And there's a picture of him on his Facebook at his, I think it's his college graduation, where he's got his shirt open and there's a, you know, he's got his button down shirt open and there's a t shirt under it and it says, This is what a Zionist looks like.
00:07:28.000And he can go on college campuses and he can tweet and he could have shows and talk about how he's unapologetically Jewish Zionist, my Jewish identity.
00:07:39.000And he can fight for that and defend that.
00:07:41.000And every week his pinned tweet is like, Jewish students shouldn't be afraid to be Jewish or advocate for Jewish interests.
00:07:48.000And then, in the same breath, it's white people cannot use identity politics.
00:08:27.000That racism is only something that is directed by white people.
00:08:32.000Because if the opposite of racism, reverse racism, is directed against white people, then it would have it that racism necessarily can only be a crime by white people.
00:08:46.000And so Will Nardi, he messaged me the other day.
00:08:49.000And this is Will Nardi, it's Elliot Hamilton, it's Cassie Dillon, it's all these young people that don't read, that don't think about these issues.
00:08:57.000And I don't say that like as an elitist.
00:09:00.000Like, I have one year of school under my belt, so I'm not saying it like I'm this elitist Harvard graduate and everything else.
00:09:07.000These people do not sit down and think through what's happening.
00:09:11.000They watch a Ben Shapiro video, they watch a Steven Crowder video, and then they turn on the webcam and they give you reheated, half remembered Ben Shapiro talking points.
00:09:21.000They never sat down and thought through all of these propositions to their logical conclusions.
00:09:26.000Will Narney messages me today, or yesterday rather, and he says, Nick, are you racist?
00:09:33.000I said, you know, what does that even mean?
00:09:36.000He goes, Well, I think if you made it clear that you're not racist, I think if you made it clear that you're not a white supremacist, you would.
00:10:05.000There's no way out of it to accept that framing, to accept that white supremacy is real, to accept that racism is real in the sense that they use it.
00:10:15.000Or the definition that they use it is to concede everything, is to concede their entire argument before it's even begun.
00:11:00.000That's why, and I said that before, that's why Ben Shapiro and these others won't have that debate.
00:11:04.000If Cassie Dillon, if Will Nardi, if Ben Shapiro, Ben Sass, all the establishment people threw in their lot on a big debate and they said, you know what, we're going to challenge the alt right once and for all.
00:12:05.000The other thing I saw the other day, just in the culture generally, I mean, we can talk about current events, which the things we have to talk about are North Korea and tax policy, which it's like, yeah, I mean, that's important.
00:12:28.000Stephen Colbert last night, and it was in the trending section of YouTube.
00:12:32.000And it was Stephen Colbert, the whatever show he hosts, the Tonight Show, that's Jimmy Fallon.
00:12:37.000At the Late Show, Stephen Colbert, why the kneeling scandal is totally about race.
00:12:44.000And I'm watching this show, and it's Stephen Colbert, and he's doing his usual routine.
00:12:49.000And number one, do you notice Stephen Colbert's voice?
00:12:51.000He affects this very, like, Broadway voice, this very, like, East Coast elite, where he says, Donald Trump is, I don't even know how to do an impression of it, but it's, do you know what I'm talking about?
00:13:05.000I'm not quite sure even how to put my finger on it, but he like over enunciates all the syllables.
00:13:10.000It's like this very elitist way of talking.
00:13:15.000But Stephen Colbert, he's going through his routine, and then he makes a joke where he says he was making fun of how Donald Trump and his Luther Strange rally, he says that the NFL isn't fun anymore because when they tackle each other too violently, They like give him flags.
00:13:31.000I don't know how football works, but Donald Trump was complaining that it's not violent enough anymore.
00:13:37.000And Stephen Colbert said something like, Donald Trump doesn't see a problem with brain damage because he has brain damage.
00:13:44.000And everyone in the audience is like, Oh, he went there.
00:14:09.000And I don't know if you can tell, but just some of the things I'm seeing and hearing in airports, on television, on YouTube, when I go out, it like crushes your soul.
00:14:19.000It is a weight that bears down on you to just see the depravity, the erosion of human dignity by this culture.
00:15:56.000It's just like this constant white noise, this constant sound, just to keep you from having a thought, maybe.
00:16:04.000And then it's the comedy shows, and then it's the late shows, and then it's the news.
00:16:08.000And it's no wonder people are so stupid.
00:16:11.000It's no wonder people don't know about the things we talk about on this show.
00:16:15.000It's no wonder people haven't a clue about what's happening to our country, to our schools, that none of what's happening is okay or normal.
00:16:27.000Because they go to work, you know, and they're with their friends and their colleagues and their bosses, and then they're on Facebook, and then they watch the television, and then they go to bed.
00:16:37.000And God forbid, anything, any alternative viewpoint slip in there in the meantime really is some scary stuff.
00:16:46.000Because I think if, I really think that if your average person, and I don't know what the numbers are here, but it's something like the average person watches like two hours of television a day, or two or four hours of television a day.
00:16:59.000And I imagine if your average person stopped watching TV for a week, and maybe, I don't know, maybe they stopped talking to people for a week, like colleagues at work or whatever, about politics at least, they would start to see what we're talking about.
00:17:17.000And people don't believe me when I talk about how having children is actively discouraged, how miscegenation is actively encouraged, how homosexuality is actively encouraged.
00:17:29.000Or at least the tolerance of alternative lifestyles, hedonism, degeneracy, drug use, etc.
00:17:36.000But you watch television and you imagine that you're watching four hours of commercials and content that is churned out by you know who.
00:17:45.000You know, you know who is sitting behind and wielding that media control where every commercial, and if you watch a commercial after not watching television for a long time, it's the most offensive thing to your eyes and to your ears.
00:17:59.000It's loud, abrasive, staccato pop music.
00:18:20.000It's going out when you're 40 years old on expensive, luxurious, indulgent cruises and vacations, eating expensive food, fine wine, expensive clothes.
00:18:30.000And when you're consuming that, when that's all you're consuming for four hours a day, every day for years, You don't think that has an effect?
00:18:39.000You don't think that has any consequences?
00:18:42.000And not only that, but you sit there and you just let it take you.
00:18:47.000You sit there and you just let it wash over you, in and out of you.
00:18:53.000And you don't think that has any effect?
00:18:54.000That every sitcom, I mean, what's every sitcom?
00:18:57.000It's stupid dad, you know, dummy, dummy, idiot dad who, you know, I'm a big fool.
00:19:45.000The girls are either geniuses or they're bimbos.
00:19:48.000Either they're giving themselves away when they're 16 years old in high school, or they're brainiacs, masters of the science fair, going away to ivy schools with glasses, and they outsmart those dopey boys at every turn.
00:20:17.000Because I just sit here and I watch it all day long.
00:20:21.000And I hear it echoed by all my peers, my family, and other people all day long, and it just gets to you, really gets to you.
00:20:28.000Because I think in our heart of hearts, in the heart of hearts of every man in our soul, we know that something is very, very wrong with what's going on.
00:21:14.000Everybody's really having a tough time, I believe.
00:21:19.000And this is not even like a projection, but this is, you know, I would be in Boston University, for example.
00:21:26.000And I'd be up in my dorm, you know, doing homework or whatever, and I would go on Yik Yak.
00:21:32.000If you guys remember Yik Yak, this was an app that was discontinued pretty recently, but it was around for a couple of years.
00:21:40.000And the premise of Yik Yak was it was like Twitter, but within a five mile radius, and it was anonymous.
00:21:46.000So you were in like a Twitter like message board with people, like within a two block radius, and everyone was anonymous, and you'd just post it.
00:21:54.000You'd post things, small posts, text posts, sometimes pictures.
00:21:58.000And you would see in Boston University where everybody would pretend like they were having a great time.
00:22:04.000Everybody would pretend like they loved their lifestyles of alcoholism and hedonism and degeneracy.
00:22:11.000And then you would go on yik yak, and every post would be, I'm lonely.
00:22:25.000And meanwhile, everybody would be so smug.
00:22:29.000Towards me in particular, because I was the guy that was advocating a traditionalist Christian lifestyle, and people would laugh and say, You're so square, you're so behind the times, you don't have a social life like us.
00:22:42.000Then you would look and you would see in people's darkest hour when they have no one to reach out to and they have to resort to yik yak, the anonymity of yik yak.
00:22:53.000And I don't even say that in a gloating way.
00:22:55.000I don't even say that like, Ha ha, you say you're okay, but everyone's not.
00:23:00.000I say that in a way like, The hubris, the arrogance of these people, they don't even understand.
00:23:06.000They can't even help themselves anymore because they've bought into this narrative and now they think that that's just how it's supposed to be from now on.
00:23:17.000Okay, my mom's telling me to turn my mic down.
00:25:22.000When you have a pretty free market economy, it's capitalist, it's based on economic incentives, or at least behavior is, and this is basically what directs all activity, all decisions in a person's daily life, you understand that it does play an important component.
00:25:39.000The culture is there, don't get me wrong, but economics is huge, can't be understated.
00:25:45.000And I'll tell you what I mean by this.
00:25:46.000So, President Trump proposed his tax plan in a speech yesterday.
00:25:50.000Let me just turn it down a hair, because I feel like.
00:25:53.000Let me pull up and just make sure my levels are good.
00:25:56.000Okay, so it still looks like we're pretty loud, but anyway.
00:26:01.000So his proposal for his tax plan yesterday was for businesses, he wants to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent.
00:26:10.000He wants a top 25 percent tax rate for pass through entities, so that's like LLCs, limited liability corporations.
00:26:18.000He wants to shrink the amount of tax brackets from seven to three, and the three tax brackets would be 12, 25, and 35 percent.
00:26:27.000The range used to be between 10 and 40 percent.
00:26:29.000So it's a modest increase on the lowest tax rate and a modest decrease on the highest tax rate.
00:26:37.000That's not the whole picture there because he also increases the standard deduction for single filers, for individuals, to $12,000 and $24,000 for families.
00:26:49.000So although he's increasing the lowest tax bracket by 2 percent, he's also almost doubling the standard deduction.
00:26:57.000So that's If you make $12,000 a year, that's not taxable income.
00:27:02.000So though he's raising the lowest tax bracket by 2%, less people will fall under that category because they can take out almost a twice as large standard deduction on their income, which is good.
00:27:16.000So there's also going to be a new tax credit for non-children dependents.
00:27:21.000So that's like the sick and the elderly.
00:27:23.000I think it was a $500 tax credit for non-children dependents.
00:27:27.000And then he also seeks to increase the tax credit for children.
00:27:31.000And then he wants to eliminate the estate tax.
00:27:34.000And so, all of this combined, people might say, you know, okay, okay, Nick, you know, okay, corporate neoliberal shill, enough about the tax policy.
00:27:49.000One of the number one factors why people aren't having children, why white people, why middle class people are not having children or many children, is because of economics.
00:27:59.000Because wages have stagnated, costs have gone up, taxes have gone up.
00:28:04.000So even someone like me who would like to have children, I don't have $250,000 for a child.
00:28:10.000You know, that's the average cost of a child from the time they're born until they're 18 years old.
00:28:15.000I don't have a quarter of a million dollars for one child.
00:28:21.000I don't even have the money to pay off the small amount of student loan debt that I've accumulated so far.
00:28:27.000So if we have a tax policy that is pro family, pro natal, pro business, what you see happening is an economic boom and then a subsequent baby boom.
00:28:37.000You know, we call them boomers, and then I think people forget why the baby boom was possible.
00:28:42.000It was because at the time, after the war, you had a policy of capitalism that was to stimulate families, stimulate homeownership.
00:28:50.000When you had the GI Bill, People that returned from the war were able to buy a house, start a family, get a job, get a good paying job, get a car, get nice home appliances, have a lot of children.
00:29:02.000If you were to have a massive economic overhaul, massive economic reform that was geared towards a different objective.
00:29:11.000Right now the objective is the stock market getting bigger and the GDP getting higher.
00:29:17.000In a word, it's economic efficiency, you know, lowest cost, highest quality.
00:29:22.000If we redirected our objectives for our economy to More children, more home ownership, et cetera, more savings, more investment.
00:29:31.000That would lead the way to balancing out our birth rates.
00:29:34.000And you can see that in Japan, the birth rates are stabilizing.
00:29:38.000You can see in the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, the birth rates are stabilizing.
00:29:43.000This is not like it's out of our control.
00:29:45.000We make it out like our house is flooding, and the only thing we can do is bail out the water as it's flooding in.
00:29:54.000Well, you can also, I guess this doesn't really make sense with the context of the analogy, but you could also.
00:30:00.000You could also make the house taller, I guess would be the way to explain that.
00:30:04.000People look only at one component of the demographic problem, which is the high birth rate of foreign born.
00:30:11.000They don't look at the low birth rate of the native population.
00:30:14.000The foreign born population, there's only so much we can do about that.
00:30:21.000We could do some things for that so that people can self deport.
00:30:25.000And there's very limited options for physical removal because, of course, this costs a lot of money.
00:30:31.000To get people removed from the country when you're getting into the tens of millions of people.
00:30:35.000So there's only so much you can do in the way of self-deportation incentives and physical removal.
00:30:41.000In the way of the native birth rate, nobody talks about this issue.
00:30:45.000If you have an economic policy that's conducive to white and native families having children, you buy yourself maybe two decades.
00:30:55.000You buy yourself a lot of time to solve the other problem, right?
00:31:00.000I mean, the demographic takeover is slowed dramatically.
00:31:04.000If the birth rate of foreign born and the birth rate of natives is gradually equalized, because naturally, as the foreign born population gets assimilated, and this is a slow process, maybe it doesn't happen, but they tend to have less kids as the generations go on, the foreign born population naturally will decrease.
00:31:23.000If the native and white birth rate were to increase gradually, and it wouldn't be easy, this wouldn't happen overnight, but if we moved in that direction, the disparity would only grow by 0.5 or 0.1 or 0.2 every year.
00:31:38.000If we got those numbers down, we wouldn't be working with such a short window of time.
00:31:43.000And that's what everyone's concerned about, is the fact that Texas will go blue by 2024 or 2032, depending on the numbers you're looking at.
00:31:51.000We can buy ourselves more time if we can get those birth rates to equalize.
00:31:55.000And there's certainly a cultural, social component as well, but the economic is necessary.
00:32:02.000It's necessary, but not sufficient, but it is necessary.
00:32:10.000When you're doubling the standard deduction for individuals and families, that means they have more disposable income to spend on children, to spend on other amenities.
00:32:19.000Maybe you don't have to have the wife or the mother working.
00:32:26.000You can buy a house, you can afford a car payment, you know, whatever else, I don't know.
00:32:30.000I'm not a personal accountant, but that opens the door for more disposable income for families, whatever they want to spend that on.
00:32:37.000If you have a higher tax credit for children, the same is true.
00:32:41.000If you have a tax credit for non-children dependents, that also lends itself to, I think, a pro-family, pro-community policy where people can bring in their elderly grandparents or their elderly aunts and uncles or what have you.
00:32:56.000People that are sick in their family, which is a good thing.
00:32:59.000So, if this gets passed, I think that would be a major victory.
00:33:02.000And this is something also that isn't, that is totally implicit.
00:33:07.000It's totally implicit so that Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, the boomer conservatives, everyone can get behind a pro-family tax policy, even like evangelicals and other people who think that white nationalism is reprehensible and white identity is evil.
00:33:24.000I mean, even people that don't understand what the effect would be, what maybe the intention is, they would see that as a positive.
00:33:31.000The tax policy is a big white pill if that goes through, and hopefully it will.
00:33:37.000I imagine that this could go through whether we have a Republican establishment Congress or we come back in 2018 with some kind of breakaway anti-establishment Republican Congress.
00:33:49.000I think it can happen, so that's a good thing.
00:33:52.000So that's tax policy, you know, kind of boring stuff, not going to lie, kind of boring stuff, but it has to happen.
00:33:59.000We have to do the boring stuff if we want to.
00:34:02.000I know, and this sort of lends itself to the optics debate we were having yesterday, which is to say that it's fun, it's edgy, it's LARPy, it's interesting to do the alt right stuff, to do the National Socialism stuff.
00:34:18.000I mean, it's very edgy, it pisses people off, people will yell at you, it'll get you attention.
00:34:25.000In a way, it's sort of fun because you get to break taboos and rebel against your parents and everything else.
00:34:32.000And you can make a podcast about how Hitler did nothing wrong and whoa, you know, so edgy.
00:34:41.000And the alt right is great at doing that.
00:34:43.000But if we want to have a movement that has results, you have to cut that stuff out.
00:34:48.000And you have to focus on the things that really matter, which is tax policy, which is community organizing, which is like making a super PAC, making a political party, these things that are boring and there's paperwork and there's money.
00:35:07.000And I hate, I forget who I was telling this to.
00:35:11.000I was on my way in Virginia over to see some people for like this alt-right party.
00:35:17.000We were on our way, and I said, you know, a lot of people in this movement, they talk about how President Trump was memed into the White House.
00:35:26.000People who post things online take responsibility for the election of Donald Trump.
00:35:32.000They say, because we posted pictures on a web forum, Donald Trump is now the president.
00:35:40.000The Donald Trump campaign, that you had people strategizing every day to make this guy win.
00:35:47.000You had people hanging door hangers in the rain, in the cold, on foot, hanging door hangers on every door in districts in Wisconsin and Michigan and Florida and Georgia.
00:36:00.000You had people pouring money in, people phone banking to get people to pour money in or to volunteer for the campaign.
00:36:41.000And I think there is a similar mentality on the alt-right where they think we can meme.
00:36:46.000This civilizational transformation that we want into happening.
00:36:49.000Well, if we just make enough podcasts, if we just get enough of our buddies on Discord, if we buy enough, you know, t shirts or whatever, well, it'll happen.
00:39:01.000The other thing I want to talk about is North Korea.
00:39:05.000Now, as you guys know, there is a big debate coming tomorrow.
00:39:09.000It's really evolved more to sort of a discussion because, and I'll tell you why that is once we get into the topic, but tomorrow we'll be hosting, I forget his handle, but his at was Vicky Ron.
00:39:24.000But he challenged me to a debate, or I issued a challenge for a debate about North Korea, and he answered the call.
00:39:29.000So we're going to do a discussion slash debate about North Korea tomorrow on the show.
00:39:34.000And I've yet to come up with a name for the brawl for the debate.
00:39:38.000But we have a poster, we have materials ready to go for that, so that should be fun.
00:39:43.000But there is some news about North Korea, some new developments.
00:39:47.000This is very significant stuff, and this is why I'm sort of changing my position.
00:39:51.000I'm not changing it totally, but with these new developments, it has changed the circumstances a lot, and this has much to do with China.
00:40:00.000So it was announced today that China has ordered North Korean companies and North Korean-Chinese joint ventures operating within China to shut down within 120 days.
00:40:12.000And this is in compliance with the recent UN Security Council sanctions on North Korea.
00:40:18.000Now, we know that earlier this year, China reduced its purchase of coal from North Korea, and they clamped down on the trade of seafood and iron.
00:40:25.000Additionally, in compliance with the UN Security Council resolution, they're going to clamp down on the textile trade, which is big.
00:40:33.000I mean, that's North Korea's, one of North Korea's number one imports to China.
00:40:38.000China is restricting the amount of energy it provides to North Korea in the form of natural gas.
00:40:44.000The crude oil still flows, but the other things are getting shut down.
00:40:48.000And this is important, obviously, because China accounts for 90% of all North Korean trade.
00:40:55.000And so this new development that it looks like China is now being cooperative, they say they're tightening the screws on North Korea, now it looks like war can be prevented.
00:41:05.000It looks like slowly but surely President Trump is making this deal happen.
00:41:13.000Because you see that the North Korean economy has been completely isolated from the world economy.
00:41:19.000They have very few outlets, or rather very few inputs, I guess, of foreign currency.
00:41:26.000They have very few resources available from the outside world.
00:41:30.000It's questionable whether or not that's been hugely impactful, given that North Korea's economy grew by like 4% last year.
00:41:37.000But still, what President Trump is trying to do right now is make it so that North Korea cannot survive without the outside world.
00:41:47.000Might seem like it goes without saying that's what he's doing, but you have to consider that this is sort of like playing chicken, where North Korea is racing towards a miniaturized nuclear weapon to put on an ICBM and a perfected ICBM technology.
00:42:04.000And they're trying to get that technology before they starve to death, essentially, before they all starve to death.
00:42:10.000Because once they get that nuclear arsenal that's capable of hitting the United States, the ICBM coupled with the miniaturized nuclear warhead, they will have changed their bargaining power substantially.
00:42:23.000And now they're in a great position to negotiate with the United States.
00:42:26.000Like, you know, if you achieve nuclear parity with the United States, you're far and away.
00:42:31.000You're like a different country than you were before.
00:42:34.000So North Korea either gets the nuclear weapon and then they negotiate from a position of strength, or President Trump and the United States and China shut down North Korea's economy, do such harm to that country and its economic prosperity that they might collapse just because the people will revolt because there's not enough food.
00:42:54.000And so essentially it's a race against time of whether or not.
00:42:57.000Kim Jong-un will be forced to negotiate before there's a rebellion in this country, or the United States will be forced to negotiate when Kim Jong-un gets a capability to strike the mainland United States with a nuclear weapon.
00:43:10.000And so it's looking increasingly as China comes out with new sanctions, tightening the screws on the economy, as Russia puts diplomatic pressure on North Korea to negotiate, and on and on.
00:43:21.000There are multiple actors involved trying to make that peaceful negotiation happen.
00:43:27.000It's looking more like President Trump will come out the victor and forced North Korea to the negotiating table, and we could denuclearize North Korea in a peaceful way.
00:43:37.000That said, I have always maintained the position that if war were to break out on the Korean Peninsula, it would be uniquely justifiable.
00:43:46.000Because in this circumstance, you have two of these countries, the United States and North Korea, and the core of their geopolitical grand strategies are in contradiction with each other.
00:44:00.000Irreconcilably, In contradiction with each other.
00:44:04.000North Korea requires, it is necessary for them to have a nuclear weapon, a nuclear arsenal, an ICBM to strike the United States.
00:44:14.000And they need that because the biggest existential threat to their country and to the rule of the decision makers in Pyongyang is the United States, is the army on their southern border, on the DMZ, the navy that's in China, the nuclear weapons that are in the United States.
00:44:30.000They stand at the brink of being annihilated.
00:44:33.000At the whim of a globalist administration, just like Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia, and other countries.
00:44:40.000So, their number one foreign policy objective is to attain a nuclear weapon.
00:44:45.000The survival of North Korea and Pyongyang depends on it.
00:44:49.000The United States' grand strategy, their number one objective, I think, in the post Cold War era, is nuclear nonproliferation.
00:44:59.000That rogue states cannot have nuclear weapons.
00:45:01.000And we heard with George W. Bush's Axis of Evil.
00:45:04.000And President Trump's renewed axis of evil speech.
00:45:08.000Since the end of the Cold War, the United States' sole objective and sole focus has been on these rogue states that we hear so much about Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and others, Syria as well.
00:45:25.000I would say Israel is one of them too, but that's not really one according to the establishment.
00:45:30.000That if they get a nuclear weapon, they would be the only states that could present a threat to the United States.
00:45:38.000Though it is the second biggest military in the world, the number one, they have the number one most amount of nuclear warheads in the world, there is something called mutually assured destruction, which makes them not a huge threat.
00:45:50.000And because of military, conventional military strength, it's basically balanced out that if there ever were a war, either it would go nuclear and everyone loses, and even if it didn't go nuclear, everyone would lose.
00:46:02.000So the United States, emerging from the Cold War, found that there would be no great power conflicts, A Thucydides conflict between China and the United States in the next like two centuries, not so big a threat.
00:46:15.000The number one immediate threat is these rogue states getting nuclear weapons and either using them, starting a war in another country with them, or giving them to non state actors, which would be terrorists.
00:46:27.000So you understand that the United States' sole, the core of their foreign policy is no nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue states.
00:46:38.000The core of North Korea's foreign policy is we have to have a nuclear weapon.
00:46:45.000This is the only legitimate reason why wars happen.
00:46:48.000If you think of war in an abstract way, that war between tribes of people happens when one tribe threatens another tribe and they have competing interests that are irreconcilable, the only way to resolve these is through conflict, is through domination, is through conquest.
00:47:29.000I'm saying that if there were a war, if diplomacy were not possible, and it's looking like it will be quite nearly impossible, war would be justified because you have this fundamental clash between core foreign interests between these two countries that are irreconcilable.
00:48:40.000So, with North Korea, it's looking increasingly like war would not be justified.
00:48:45.000If we can tighten the screws and North Korea would give up their nuclear weapon, um, you know, if we can give them an offer that would ensure their security and safety without them having to, to, excuse me, to nuclearize Then we can talk them off the ledge and there can be a diplomatic solution.
00:49:03.000If not, though, and it looks like that's pretty far off, then war would be justified.
00:50:17.000But to pretend like that's real, I mean, that's a joke.
00:50:21.000And whenever people tell me that term, I immediately know I'm dealing with someone who doesn't know what they're talking about because it's not the case.
00:50:28.000So yeah, it should definitely separate.
00:50:30.000And Jews don't see themselves as a part of Christianity.
00:50:33.000So don't for a minute think that that streak goes both ways.
00:51:36.000Juan Gen N. Hey, Nick, have you heard about the filial correction issued by Catholic theologians accusing Pope Francis of spreading heresy?
00:53:15.000But yeah, the first 50 years of the 20th century, that's when you had the nuclear family with the beautiful middle class house, and mom was home baking cookies, and junior was well dressed, and he went to school, and dad came home in a beautiful car in a suit.
00:53:31.000In a hat, you know, with his coat over his shoulder and his briefcase, and, you know, honey, I'm home.
00:53:46.000You look at some of the lifestyles of people these days, and how is it an improvement that we went from, like, utopia, where it's like, you know, you're listening to Elvis Presley and you're, I don't know, you're having an ice cream date at the drive-in movies, and today it's like.
00:54:05.000It's like having sex with three different people at a house party, and you're on Xanax, and you wake up in a puddle of your own urine or in vomit, and you have to explain, and you get in a big fight with your parents on the phone.
00:54:37.000I look back and, like, every year, I look back at myself a year ago and I think, wow, I knew nothing.
00:54:44.000So, I mean, you just have to aim for that, where you're always learning, you're always reading.
00:54:49.000You can't measure yourself up against other people.
00:54:51.000If I measured myself up against, like, a Pat Buchanan when I started reading him, I would have killed myself because Pat Buchanan's, like, up here compared to all of us.
00:56:18.000Because we looked at the data and we found that the more sexual partners. the higher the likelihood that their marriage ends in divorce, the higher likelihood that they cheat on their spouses when they're married, the higher likelihood they have STDs, and on and on and on.
00:56:36.000So the more partners you have before marriage, basically the worse your life will be, the worse your marriage will be, the worse your children will be, et cetera, et cetera.
00:56:46.000And so the number one thing everyone can do, and it's not even, I mean, this is something that you, it's not even like, do this, it's, Just exercise a little bit of restraint and we'll be a long ways better than if you did nothing at all.
00:57:02.000It's just restrain yourself until marriage and you will be in a good position.
00:57:07.000All you have to do is look at the numbers where I forget what infographic I was looking at, but it was something like in the 1950s, you had no women that had sex with more than 10 partners before they got married.
00:57:21.000In the 2010s, do you know how many women, what percentage have had sex with more than 10 partners before they get married?
01:00:58.000And my parents, both of my parents, used to work at a security firm where they taught cops and security guards how to properly handle firearms.
01:01:05.000And so for a long time, they raised me having respect for firearms and the gravity of what it means to own a firearm and to handle a firearm.
01:01:14.000I don't like it that people on the right wing are gun crazy.
01:01:17.000They're bringing them everywhere, they have them always.
01:01:20.000You know, a gun is a very serious thing, should be taken seriously.
01:01:24.000But that said, there is a need for them, and I am interested in owning one.
01:01:29.000I'd love to buy just like a shotgun or, I don't know, a rifle or something.
01:04:15.000He's the only person I laugh at anymore.
01:04:17.000He's the only one that takes the edge off of the modern world for me because he's the only one that sees it for what it is and satirizes it for what it is, which is so valuable to me.
