00:00:59.000Still got the jacket, but no necktie because it is the casual Friday episode.
00:01:05.000We'll be jumping into the live stream with you, the viewer, with you, the unwashed masses.
00:01:11.000Climbing over each other, toiling endlessly.
00:01:14.000I'll be jumping into it with you fellas, with you folks in the live chat at about the half hour mark for a little fun.
00:01:20.000But we're just trying to have a casual stream here, cozy and fun, cozy and cool stream here, keeping it cool, calm, and cozy at all times on the show.
00:01:31.000But there is lots of news to get to, big news to get to.
00:01:35.000The budget deal passed this morning, $400 billion budget deal.
00:01:43.000I know I saw some people were complaining about it on the timeline.
00:01:47.000I saw some people were complaining that this was a missed opportunity, that because Chuck Schumer wasn't crying and Mitch McConnell was excited, this was a bad deal.
00:01:58.000I thought this was a very good deal, and so we'll get into that.
00:02:01.000And then there was a fella, John Kelly's aide, the serial woman abuser, at least alleged, receiving some pretty high praise from the president today in some remarks he made to the press, calling Rob Porter.
00:02:16.000A good person and saying it was very sad what happened to him.
00:02:19.000And of course, he was the aide to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, accused of beating his two former wives.
00:02:28.000I think we'll actually get into that first because this whole act is so old for me.
00:02:34.000I see what happens where the story today and the story this whole week that the Democrats and the left and the media have been trying to inject into the conversation to distract from the memo and to distract from.
00:02:46.000Trump winning on the economy and the stock market and on the military parade and on and on and on.
00:02:52.000They've introduced this fake and phony scandal that an aide to the White House chief of staff was some kind of serial woman abuser.
00:03:52.000In half, and then in half again, and then in half after that.
00:03:55.000In terms of the spending deal, even the Democrats admit that Donald Trump has won.
00:04:00.000Even some of the highest level Democrats in the House and the Senate are admitting that President Trump outclassed them and took away all their leverage.
00:04:08.000And so it makes sense why the media is so quick to drum up one of these phony stories and to try and maybe pivot and use some of the momentum from the Me Too stuff as a way to attack the Trump administration.
00:04:21.000But on the subject of this Rob Porter guy, I'll bring up some of the details here because this is so typical of this culture.
00:05:41.000You need to separate from this person.
00:05:43.000If somebody's going to be physically violent against you and that's such a problem, you know, either he kicked her and it was no big deal and that's why she stayed in the marriage, or he kicked her and that's a big deal, in which case there's no excuse for her not leaving the marriage.
00:05:58.000But I love how it says, you know, they're on, this is obviously a rich guy.
00:06:06.000They're on vacation in the Canary Islands.
00:06:08.000They're living it up and she allegedly gets abused.
00:06:12.000And then it says, oh, and then two years later, when they're vacationing in Florence, Italy, he hit her again.
00:06:19.000And so then you really start to ask yourself is this an abuse problem?
00:06:23.000Is it really a problem or is it not a problem?
00:06:26.000Because if it's such a problem, if this is such a big deal, if it's actually even true, and maybe it's not, but whatever, if this is such a big concern, then why are you staying with this person for years?
00:06:39.000Why are you vacationing with this person in Florence, Italy?
00:07:38.000And they stepped down and they were fired and so on, and they paid the price.
00:07:42.000But in a lot of cases, you see great men who are accused.
00:07:45.000Accused of these kinds of things, and maybe this is the excesses of this movement, maybe this is some kind of perverse derivative element of feminism.
00:07:54.000That anytime somebody is accused of something, they might as well be guilty.
00:08:02.000It doesn't matter if it's true or not.
00:08:03.000Women make the accusation, whether it's true or not, they pay the price.
00:08:07.000Either they pay a price in that they get fired, and they get fired, and they're dragged through the mud, and all kinds of bad things happen to them, or they don't get fired, nothing institutional happens, but that's always hanging over them.
00:08:21.000There's always that black cloud hanging over them of, oh, well, that person was accused.
00:08:27.000And it's just really, I think, an unfair thing.
00:08:31.000This is, in my opinion, this is a result of feminism.
00:09:03.000And in every case, whether it's Ryan Seacrest or that black guy who was on TV or a lot of those episodes after the whole thing happened with Hollywood, the woman makes the accusation and it's as good as it might as well have happened regardless.
00:09:19.000And we also saw this pretty recently in the Senate election in Alabama.
00:09:24.000What happened to all the accusers after the Alabama special Senate election?
00:10:00.000Where are all the accusers from the Donald Trump election in 2016?
00:10:03.000I remember, I don't know if you remember, But I remember a month before the election having to fend off from liberals and lefties and Democrats and so on all these accusations that Trump's going to go to trial in December because he molested a 14 year old.
00:10:19.000Trump is going to go to trial over rape allegations.
00:10:21.000He's going to have to settle out of court.
00:10:22.000What happened to all those accusations?
00:10:25.000Suddenly after the election, in the same way with Alabama, the accusations, they all kind of went away.
00:10:31.000You didn't really hear so much about them later.
00:10:33.000So I see something like this, and not only is it just a travesty that.
00:10:39.000What seems to be a good man, we don't know if he did it or not, but somebody who has not been brought to court, no police report was filed.
00:10:47.000There's no documentation here for this, by the way, for any of this.
00:10:50.000You know, you think that if you're a victim of an assault, there would at least be a paper trail.
00:10:55.000If you're some battered woman, oh, he gave me a black eye.
00:10:58.000He kicked me when we were vacationing in Florence, Italy on our yacht.
00:11:02.000You know, you think at least you'd see a police report, at least you'd see in the divorce papers, at least you'd see, you know, if there's a restraining order, let's see the documentation, let's see the paperwork, but there isn't any.
00:11:12.000You know, so we don't know if this guy's a bad guy or not, but innocent until proven guilty.
00:11:17.000This is a guy who, Harvard graduate, he's in the White House.
00:11:20.000He's doing a great job, in the words of the president, and they're going to have to fire him.
00:11:25.000And not only is a good guy getting taken down because of allegations, unsubstantiated accusations, but now President Trump is going to pay a political price.
00:11:56.000So, his job's gonna go out the window.
00:11:59.000And then President Trump pays a price for a week that, well, he said nice things about this guy, and that means that he's okay with domestic abuse.
00:12:29.000Now you assaulted me, and now you're under arrest, and now you're going to jail for assault.
00:12:34.000Nowhere else does the standard apply where the accuser has this much leverage.
00:12:39.000And this all goes back, by the way, a lot of this goes back to the fact, and this is kind of separate, but this is in line with the Me Too sort of business and the sexual assault, the sexual harassment, and all of that.
00:12:52.000We have to think about the way that men and women interact.
00:12:56.000You have to think about what has transpired since women's liberation.
00:13:00.000What has happened since women's liberation?
00:13:02.000What has happened since women became so free and we started hearing them roar and they're in the workplace and they're strong and independent?
00:13:12.000And just about every year since that happened, whether you trace it back to suffrage or you trace it back to them entering the workforce or you trace it back to, you know, whatever, whatever, you know, them being able to walk around naked in public and nobody cares, right?
00:13:28.000Every year since that started to happen, the relationship between men and women has gotten worse.
00:13:34.000More women have been abused or claimed to be abused.
00:14:30.000And that's when you get to the point, that's when you really get cynical about the way things work.
00:14:34.000And you say this certain group of people, they simply just have to be stopped.
00:14:39.000When you look at these women in particular who take up this feminism, this radical social agenda, this radical political agenda, and if you look at any of the maps in terms of if only women were voting, all the states in the country go blue if it's just women voting, and that should tell you something.
00:14:58.000But you have these women who are far left, they have this radical, disruptive, revolutionary social agenda, and they don't listen to reason.
00:15:10.000There's no standards being applied there, and so these people.
00:15:14.000You can sit down with them all you want and you can debate them and so on.
00:15:18.000But the reason we take up the thought patrol is because, to a certain extent, when they stop listening to reason, they simply just have to be bullied.
00:15:26.000They simply just have to be shut down.
00:15:28.000If you can call them a name and people stop listening to them, that is sufficient.
00:15:37.000Because when you engage with these people and you say you're, when you debate with these people and you implicitly say you're a legitimate political thinker and you're going to argue in good faith and what you want is what's best for the society, you've already lost because none of these implicit presuppositions are true.
00:15:56.000In fact, it's all the opposite of that.
00:15:58.000And so that's why, you know, the Thought Patrol, it's a big meme and people think it's a joke, but it has this utility.
00:16:04.000And it is very important to simply say these people that are out there trying to undermine.
00:16:10.000The fundamental pillars of a functional society, they just have to be shut down.
00:16:16.000They just have to be drowned out and ignored because to engage is already to lose.
00:16:21.000And here we see, you know, when they are engaged, the devastation they can cause.
00:17:26.000This was all the leverage that the Democrats had.
00:17:29.000Reminder that the Democrats are in the minority in the House and the Senate.
00:17:34.000And although the Senate needs 60 votes to get a spending bill through, you know, they passed this spending bill and they've made a commitment to pass the next one on March 23rd.
00:17:43.000They simply do not have any more leverage over Republicans.
00:17:50.000Republicans did need them to get the 60 votes to get a spending bill through, that they've given up on this and they've given all these pieces away.
00:18:09.000What happens next is that we decide what happens with immigration on our terms.
00:18:15.000And here I'll give you an idea of what this means.
00:18:18.000March 5th, the DACA legal protections expire.
00:18:22.000And so, right now, the Supreme Court is being fought, or rather, there was a court that made a decision in January, if you recall, that suspended it, gave an injunction on President Trump's order to rescind DACA.
00:18:35.000And so, technically, they started to renew DACA applications since then.
00:18:39.000The Supreme Court is taking up a challenge by the Trump administration on that.
00:18:43.000And so, they may put a stop to that and have DACA rescinded until they can make a ruling on that.
00:18:48.000But regardless of that fact, DACA will expire on March 5th.
00:18:52.000And when the courts finally come to their senses, DACA will be expired.
00:18:56.000The DACA recipients who are working in major corporations, in major businesses that want to be in compliance with the law, will have to fire the DACA recipients.
00:19:06.000So, day after DACA is rescinded on March 5th, you know, ideally, whether it happens on March 5th or whether it happens with all the legal protections being lost once they stop being able to be renewed once it goes through the courts, all DACA recipients lose their legal protections.
00:20:03.000The ones that aren't will be subject to deportation if they're not behaved, if they're not too careful about being illegal immigrants in this country.
00:20:11.000Or a deal is made and it's made completely on our terms.
00:20:15.000Pathway to citizenship, yeah, we'll consider it, maybe.
00:20:18.000Are we going to let 690,000 or 1.8 million?
00:20:23.000And we can dictate the terms that we get for DACA.
00:20:27.000We could say that we want a wall and diversity visa and chain migration.
00:20:30.000And the Democrats, they can say no to that.
00:20:32.000And then DACA's over and it's done and no deal is made.
00:20:35.000Or they can say yes and we get everything we want.
00:20:37.000So, this is really a solid position that we're in.
00:20:40.000And we'll watch this over the course of the next six weeks.
00:20:43.000Like I said, they have until March 23rd until the government runs out of money again.
00:20:48.000March 23rd is when the long term spending bill is passed that will fund the government through until September 30th for the remainder of the fiscal year.
00:20:56.000And so, they're in the process right now of drafting that legislation.
00:21:00.000And then it'll have to be introduced for a vote.
00:21:02.000And they'll go through the committee process.
00:21:06.000And President Trump right now is seeking a couple of billion dollars to get started on the wall in that spending bill, which would be a good thing because you imagine that the people that have already made a commitment on that spending bill by voting on this one this morning, they're not going to turn around and say, oh, now we're not going to vote for the actual money that's going to come into play on March 23rd.
00:21:26.000So this is, we couldn't be in a better position right now.
00:21:39.000You look at any of the numbers on the economy, stock market correction aside.
00:21:43.000You look at people's optimism about the economy, people who think the economy is going in the right direction.
00:21:48.000You look at the pure numbers in terms of joblessness, in terms of unemployment, in terms of jobs being created, economic growth.
00:21:57.000There was one number a couple of weeks ago that estimated, and I think this is premature and probably not totally right, but gives you an idea of where we're at, that GDP could grow something like 4% or 5% this quarter, which would be.
00:22:09.000I don't think that's going to happen, but if that number is true, it just gives you an idea how much the economy has grown since under Barack Obama.
00:22:42.000And then something like 25 toss ups, which would mean we need to win one toss up and we retain our majority in the House.
00:22:49.000If you look in the Senate, in any simulation where President Trump has an above 45 approval rating, he has upwards of 55 votes in the Senate.
00:22:57.000So we could be winning either a majority or a supermajority.
00:23:03.000This is notwithstanding what's happening with DACA, what's happening with the budget, notwithstanding what's happening with Democrats with this military parade.
00:23:11.000You look at the military parade and people might say, oh, well, It's good or it's bad.
00:23:18.000It's a message to the usurpers in the intelligence community, in the deep state, in the Democratic Party, in the media.
00:23:25.000It's a message to China, to Iran, to Russia.
00:23:28.000But beyond that, I mean, and all of those things are very useful, don't get me wrong.
00:23:32.000But beyond that, look at the military parade, and here is just yet another example, yet another golden opportunity for Democrats to pigeonhole themselves as the party that is divisive, that is anti America, anti military, anti veteran.
00:23:49.000It is no coincidence that President Trump framed the government shutdown as an assault on the military by the Democrats.
00:23:56.000When the government shut down in January, what did President Trump say?
00:24:00.000He said Democrats don't want to fund the military.
00:24:03.000Democrats are taking away money from the military.
00:24:06.000Military can't watch the Super Bowl because Democrats shut down the government.
00:24:10.000At the State of the Union, President Trump praising the great military and the Democrats are sitting down.
00:24:15.000And when he says, you know, we love America, black unemployment is low, and the Democrats are sitting.
00:24:20.000And now he announces a big military parade where the veterans will be on full display and they'll be honored and they'll be praised and they'll have this big spectacle to celebrate their sacrifice.
00:24:31.000Waving the flag of our greatest heroes, and Democrats will be sitting.
00:24:42.000And if you think that's not coordinated, if you think that's not part of a strategy, you're not a smart person.
00:24:47.000This is what President Trump is doing.
00:24:49.000And the Democrats in 2018, if this continues, if they don't get smart, and I don't think they will, they are setting themselves up to be the party of being against the troops, against the military, against the country, against unity.
00:25:02.000And that's why the approval numbers are going up.
00:25:04.000That's why President Trump's at a 49% approval rating because the rhetoric that we heard at the State of the Union and the numbers were true then, they're true now, resonate with the American people.
00:25:15.000President Trump, if the media were smart, if the media were strategic, President Trump would be doing a terrible job because there's so much to pick at with President Trump.
00:25:25.000You could go after the tweets, you could go after he's just silly.
00:25:29.000I mean, there are many grievances that normal Americans have with him.
00:25:33.000But what happens is that the media, in reaction to Trump, I think in many ways that Trump understands, he maybe instigates this, they become worse than him.
00:25:43.000Even though many people would say, you know, I don't like Trump, but I like the job he's doing.
00:25:47.000Or they might say, you know, I like Trump or I like the economy, but he's got to stop with the tweeting.
00:25:54.000Democrats could very easily capitalize on that.
00:25:57.000But because of President Trump and the way he frames the argument, they make themselves somehow worse.
00:26:05.000No matter what way you look at it, 100% worse, twice as bad.
00:26:10.000Because not only, you know, President Trump, for whatever you could say, oh, he's silly, he calls Haiti a shithole, whatever, he loves the country, he loves the troops.
00:26:19.000He checks the prerequisites, he checks the necessary boxes to succeed as a politician.
00:26:24.000And the Democrats are like, yeah, we can appear as though we don't like the country, we can appear as though we don't like the troops, which is a terrible mistake.
00:26:33.000So we're in a great position here for 2018.
00:26:36.000And we've been talking about it all week what will be possible.
00:26:41.000And I don't know, I'm considering starting up some kind of a podcast.
00:26:44.000I don't know what's going on with my hair.
00:26:46.000I was wearing a hat earlier today and it just hasn't been the same.
00:26:50.000But I'm thinking about starting a podcast, maybe March, maybe late February, just on 2018 politics.
00:26:58.000And let me know if you guys would be interested in that.
00:26:59.000I know I floated the idea before of the America First Premium Plus and doing a couple of other new shows, new podcasts.
00:27:08.000And that was one of the ones I was thinking of, was like 2018.
00:27:12.000Election HQ, and it's just an hour every week of going through all the important races, going through the numbers, going through the week's events in the context of 2018.
00:27:22.000Because we like to talk about elections on the show, but it doesn't get as much coverage as we would like.
00:27:28.000Because a lot of the times when we're talking about DACA, we're talking about DACA.
00:28:08.000I mean, I was just in there on Tuesday for our call in show, but now we're jumping into the live chat here to hang out with you folks and we'll see what people are saying.
00:28:17.000I'm going to jump into the super chats here.
00:28:20.000Paul Bunyan says, Thoughts on American balkanization and regionalism.
00:28:25.000I'm from Minnesota and I see the upper Midwest as having an identity distinct from.
00:29:04.000This is the largest amount of immigration in American history.
00:29:08.000It's of a very specific type of people, Hispanics.
00:29:11.000It's concentrated in a very small geographic area.
00:29:15.000And more than any other time in American history, there's this resistance to assimilation.
00:29:19.000So I understand where people come from with that.
00:29:23.000That's probably the most tangible example of regionalization.
00:29:27.000But outside of that, I don't see it happening.
00:29:29.000And here's why you look at the demographics, you look at a city, for example, Like Birmingham, or you look at a city like Nashville, or like New York, or Boston, or Las Vegas, or Seattle, or Chicago, and you understand quickly that the cleavages in our country demographically are not between different regions and different states, but between cities and rural, between urban and suburban and rural.
00:29:58.000You know, like rural Illinois, if you go maybe 50 minutes outside of Illinois, that probably has more in common with rural Illinois.
00:30:08.000I don't know, Tennessee or rural South Carolina than it does with Chicago, right?
00:30:14.000And you would say that maybe a mountainous region outside of Denver, Colorado has more in common with rural Washington or rural Oregon than it does with Denver, Colorado.
00:30:24.000And Denver has more in common with Seattle than it does with the rural elements in Colorado.
00:30:29.000So in going to many different cities and different states over the past couple of years, this is what I've noticed is even going to Charlottesville.
00:30:38.000I landed in Charlottesville, Virginia in August for the big rally, and I was picked up from the airport by an African Uber driver.
00:30:46.000He wasn't even African American, he was African.
00:30:49.000And I was reminded immediately of what it was like in Boston.
00:30:52.000And I say to myself, whether it's D.C., or it's Charlottesville, or it's Birmingham, or it's Atlanta, or it's Tucson, or wherever it is, it seems like the cleavages are not necessarily between South and North, or Midwest and West, but between urban and rural.
00:31:08.000And so, That's why I don't think the regional cleavages will really work because the major population centers are pretty much all the same no matter what region you're in.
00:31:17.000You know, Dallas is a liberal city even though it's in Texas.
00:31:36.000You understand that the first Civil War, a big reason why Lincoln went to war to retrieve the Confederacy was because the Confederacy brought in an enormous amount of revenue in trade and taxes.
00:31:47.000And so you think that the U.S. government, the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Commerce Department, the Treasury, They would let California secede from the Union.
00:34:37.000That's not even to say that you have to be an extremist.
00:34:40.000That's not to say you have to be political or you have to try really hard to be interesting.
00:34:44.000But the people that I know that go on Reddit, I have good friends that go on Reddit, and I look at the things these people say, and it's like, shut the fuck up.
00:35:34.000Isn't science so cool and interesting?
00:35:37.000It's like if Neil deGrasse Tyson were a website, if like the pathology, the physiognomy of Neil deGrasse Tyson's worldview, this like smug, snobbish, last man attitude were a website, it would be Reddit.
00:35:50.000And I don't know, that was just a lot of nasty things I had to say, but I really just can't stand Reddit.
00:35:56.000And 4chan's not much better either, but, you know, Reddit is just not a fan.
00:36:03.000Sigur Hal Dorsen, Nick, why haven't you read Siege yet?
00:37:11.000I tend to take Plato's side on the trap question, which is, which I forget actually, but it's from Twitter, which basically says that the trap can possess the female to male trap or the male to female, either way, they possess the spirit in a formal sense.
00:37:29.000The virtues of the masculine or the feminine, right?
00:37:33.000And so, in that sense, it's a very difficult question.
00:37:36.000In that sense, it's kind of tough to say.
00:37:38.000And you know, I've kind of been waffling on the trap question.
00:37:41.000It's one of the most complicated questions of our times.
00:37:44.000It's like Jordan Peterson says we don't know.
00:37:49.000And so, with female to male, it's another one of those things where if somebody comes over and they're in like a baseball cap and they're, you know, like, oh, hi, I'm a man, but technically they're not, biologically they're not, who knows?
00:38:02.000In a formal sense, They are, as an incident, as an instantiation of what it means to be a formal man or a woman, they are conforming to the higher virtues.
00:38:14.000They're conforming to the higher principles of masculinity or femininity.
00:38:18.000And does that make them more or less men or women?
00:38:37.000The reason I podcast is because I'm very good at it.
00:38:40.000The reason I have struck my claim, what is the word?
00:38:44.000Staked my claim out here in the podcast world is because I'm very good at it.
00:38:48.000I'm a smart person, I'm an articulate person, but it's not for everybody.
00:38:52.000It's so unfortunate when I see people, you know, Halsey is a good example, somebody who is not good at what they do.
00:38:58.000And there's no appeal, they don't have anything to contribute to the conversation.
00:39:03.000If I didn't have anything to say, I would have never started anything, right?
00:39:08.000I wouldn't be out there voicing my opinion because it would have been redundant.
00:39:12.000We don't need another 10 podcasts talking about we need lower taxes because of Milton Friedman or, you know, Jewish people have influence in the media because Kevin McDonald.
00:39:23.000If you don't have anything that is not redundant to contribute, you know, just stay at home and have a family or do something creative or do something in the arts.
00:39:32.000But that is a big problem people think the best way I can contribute is I'm going to put myself in front of a video camera and I want to get famous talking about politics.
00:39:50.000If that's your attitude and you have something to offer that is unique, that is interesting, that's not redundant, then by all means, by all means.
00:40:00.000I think we've seen a lot of that in the past couple of years.
00:40:02.000But if not, just stick to what you can do best.
00:40:34.000So let's see what the passage is, which is the second epistle to Timothy, of course, the third chapter.
00:40:40.000Let me pull it up here on this, which says, But mark this, there will be terrible times in the last days.
00:40:48.000People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power, have nothing to do with such people.
00:41:11.000They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires.
00:41:20.000Always learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
00:41:24.000Just as Janice and Jambers, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right, opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth.
00:41:32.000They are men of depraved minds who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected, but they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
00:42:39.000If you're not in those high lexicon numbers, not going to be for you.
00:42:45.000Really, I think if you want to simply understand the Bible, I don't know.
00:42:49.000I mean, you could check out any of the newer ones that have been updated.
00:42:53.000If you go on any Catholic website, they can tell you.
00:42:56.000Which ones are approved, and there are some that are more readable than others.
00:42:59.000But if you're going for the truth, if you're going for the most direct translation, and this is very important because it's the revealed word of God.
00:43:07.000So this is not something that, you know, if you really want to know it, you do have to read the most accurate.
00:43:12.000But that said, it can be a bit tricky.
00:43:14.000So if you're not in the mood for a very dry read, a very dry and difficult read, you could check out like the New Living Translation.
00:44:25.000And the individual mandate was justified because it was a tax, which is absurd.
00:44:30.000It was a penalty for not buying something, right?
00:44:33.000So the feds will read into it, I mean, they will be pretty generous, they will be pretty charitable.
00:44:39.000In how they extrapolate the constitution and the laws to accommodate whatever regulation they want.
00:44:45.000But you're right, I mean, blockchain, what is significant about Bitcoin is the blockchain.
00:44:50.000What people have to understand about Bitcoin and why it's revolutionary is that you have to think of it not in the form of like it's a currency, like, oh, this is like a digital dollar, this is like a digital coin.
00:45:02.000It's a computer coin, it's a pixel coin that I'm sending the pixel coin over to somebody else.
00:45:07.000What's significant about the Bitcoin is.
00:45:10.000And the technology that it represents, which is the blockchain, is the fact that you can send data from one person to another person, or rather, you can send something from one person to another person without going through an agency or a third party or an institution to verify that, to keep track of that, and not have it copied anywhere else.
00:45:33.000The blockchain is incredible because I can send money from myself to somebody else, and there's no risk of me being able to send that same money.
00:45:43.000You know, that's the problem with computers, with money, or with voting, or with many other things is the fact that, you know, you can double spend, so to speak.
00:45:52.000I can give money to one person, you know, in the same way that I could copy and paste a file of a video or a picture and send that to one person and then another person without a third party, I could do the same with any hypothetical currency or anything else.
00:46:06.000The blockchain is revolutionary because you don't have to have that central authority to avoid the problem of double spending.
00:46:14.000But to kind of get it in a short sentence, that's what's revolutionary about the technology.
00:46:19.000And so you could revolutionize voting, for example, that way.
00:46:22.000It was talked about five or six years ago how blockchain could revolutionize voting in the sense that if you can pay five Bitcoin or Saratoshis from one person to another without double spending, well, then you could allocate for every person in the country one vote and put that on a blockchain.
00:46:41.000And you wouldn't have any problem with people stuffing the ballot or people voting twice.
00:46:46.000And that could be one way you could authenticate that process.
00:46:49.000And that's just one example of how this could spread to other areas, other sectors, other uses.
00:46:56.000And it has massive power to disrupt, to bring down the established order.
00:47:00.000And that's why the feds will try and step in and regulate.
00:47:03.000They'll say that if people don't need the central authority, if they don't need the third party, if they don't need the central government to mediate these transactions or other things, well, then what happens to us?
00:47:17.000We can't control the affairs of things.
00:47:20.000What would happen one day if the Federal Reserve didn't control the money supply?
00:47:23.000What would happen one day if people stopped using the dollar?
00:47:26.000And the government no longer controlled the money supply.
00:47:29.000Well, then they could no longer control their own debt spending.
00:47:32.000They could no longer control their own fiscal policy.
00:47:34.000They couldn't spend as much as they wanted, right?
00:50:12.000Started out to joke like that, but I would get in a lot of trouble if I said that.
00:50:16.000I would get in a lot of trouble if I said that if black people hate white people so much, they should just go live among other black people.
00:50:23.000I'd get in a lot of trouble if I said that.
00:50:25.000And it would be wrong for me to say that.
00:51:26.000And, you know, this is kind of the mistake a lot of people make they think, you know, I'm smart in one area.
00:51:31.000I can pontificate on all these other areas.
00:51:33.000I happen to be a Catholic and I talk about it.
00:51:35.000And I think more broadly, Christianity should be accepted because I understand that it is useful and it is my faith and I believe it's the truth and it's good for people.
00:51:45.000But I'm not like a theologian or anything like that.
00:52:22.000I have read extensively, you know, international relations in particular.
00:52:27.000I have read extensively on this subject.
00:52:29.000I went to school and took many classes on this subject.
00:52:32.000Not many because I was only in school for a year.
00:52:34.000Don't want to over represent how long I was in there, but, you know, I bring some degree of expertise, some degree of credibility in that regard.
00:52:43.000When Cabot Phillips gets on television and he talks about, oh, politics this, politics that, Cassie Dillon does, it's like you're an idiot.
00:52:49.000You don't know what you're talking about.
00:55:00.000Are you familiar with the Diamond Brothers of Most Holy Family Monastery?
00:55:03.000Well, you know, Jay just obviously knows a lot more than me on the subject, which he's been studying it for 15 years.
00:55:09.000He has a degree in the subject, which, you know, it was to be expected that I wasn't going to go on and it was going to be a grand slam, knock it out of the ballpark victory like it was with the.
00:55:24.000I didn't think I did as well as I could have.
00:55:25.000I don't think I did as well as somebody who has read as much on the subject.
00:55:29.000I mean, I'm confident that I held my own.
00:55:32.000You know, I still think that I still don't think he sufficiently answered the point about St. Peter.
00:55:39.000I don't know how you could believe that you're the rightful apostolic church and not be inclusive of the most important saint, the most important apostle, the most important disciple, rather.
00:55:51.000But he does that machine gun style where I say, Well, how come Jesus Christ gave the keys to Peter?
00:55:57.000How come he built the church on the rock, which is Peter, and you don't recognize his authority?
00:56:02.000And he says, Oh, well, the Latin for this actually means this, and blah, blah, blah, and this is what Catholics do.
00:56:08.000And it was kind of this machine gun kind of a thing.
00:56:10.000I couldn't effectively counter that because I, you know, again, I'm not well versed in the subject.
00:56:15.000Sigor Haldorsen says, How is Nick's romantic life?
00:56:32.000It'll come in due time when Nick has money, when Nick has a big fat wallet to support a big family, and women can leech off of it and all that.
00:56:43.000And when I'm a little bit more stable in my life, you know, and I don't just mean emotionally, like I'm not screaming all the time and punching walls and things, but also in the sense like I don't have such a turbulent.
00:56:56.000Profession or a career, you know, I guess, right?
00:56:59.000I mean, right now, the position I'm in right now, what people don't understand about this show, I don't just like show up and like talk.
00:57:06.000When you do your show all by yourself, you have to handle everything about it.
00:57:09.000You have to handle your camera, your lighting, your software, your computer, your audio, your editing.
00:57:15.000You have to handle your channel, your marketing, your social media like, like everything.
00:57:21.000And, you know, hopefully one day, if the show continues to take off and continues to grow in popularity and And I'm working a lot this month to create new content and do some new things.
00:57:35.000But if it really takes off and I could get a production assistant and maybe I could get a studio or something, then my life will be in a more stable place where I could take on other responsibilities, other major expenses, the way I look at it.
00:57:50.000But it's just not in the cards right now.
00:58:52.000What the globalists seek to do and how they do it, I think, harms children.
00:58:58.000I think it robs the innocence of children.
00:59:00.000I mean, look no further than the music industry or Hollywood or the United Nations and their nefarious influence on children.
00:59:07.000Jesus Christ stressed in the New Testament and the Gospels that anybody who leads children away from God, anybody who tempts children, It's like the worst kind of person.
00:59:16.000These are the people that are definitely going to hell.
00:59:19.000And what does our media do every day of the week, all day long?
00:59:58.000These people, you turn on the radio and they're talking about let's get blackout drunk and have sex with strangers, and you think this is normal?
01:00:04.000You think this is, oh, well, these are ideological differences, and we just have to get on television and have a roundtable discussion about whether we should be pumping your children full of chemicals and degenerate propaganda.
01:00:16.000These people are evil, these people are demons.
01:01:21.000There was a conspiracy to bring us to war in Iraq.
01:01:24.000Might not have been like deliberate, but that's what it was.
01:01:28.000There was a conspiracy to bring us to war against Cuba.
01:01:30.000You would call somebody a conspiracy theorist if they said that the CIA was going to commit false flag terrorist attacks across the country to bring us to war against Cuba.
01:01:40.000You would call that person a conspiracy theorist.
01:01:58.000Anyone going to ask any questions about that one?
01:02:01.000Watch the video of World Trade Center 7 and tell me conspiracy theorists are crazy if you have a question about that.
01:02:07.000Hey, how come that building collapsed?
01:02:09.000For people that don't know, you had the two Twin Towers, the two World Trade Center buildings, and they were hit by planes and they came down.
01:02:16.000And then down the block, World Trade Center 7, which is a lot shorter, that one also collapsed in the same way.
01:04:20.000That can't be solved by cutting taxes.
01:04:22.000That can't be, oh, well, if only we cut taxes, if only government spending was 10% of the GDP, like it was in Hong Kong from 1963 to 1995, like Milton Friedman said.
01:04:34.000But no, there are much deeper problems here.
01:04:37.000And even if we cut the taxes, you would still have mass immigration.
01:04:40.000You would still have degenerate pop culture.
01:04:42.000You would still have people who are not virtuous.
01:04:44.000It would still not answer those problems.
01:04:46.000And I discovered this when I was in college because I saw.
01:04:50.000I saw how hollow life is in the absence of the divine.
01:04:54.000I saw how hollow life is in the absence of that outside of this deeper spiritual life.
01:05:00.000Because I was in Boston and I ate and I slept.
01:05:54.000I don't know if you remember, but there was serious warmongering against Russia even in the month before the election in October and in November.
01:06:00.000This was before the Russia hacked the election stuff.
01:06:03.000So this plot has been going on for a long time.
01:06:06.000And I thought to myself, there's going to be nuclear war because the DEF CON level was raised and there was serious talk of retaliation against Russia.
01:06:14.000It was looking like there was something that was going to happen.
01:06:18.000And there was all that Sky King stuff on poll that I was watching, you know, monitoring.
01:06:24.000The air traffic controller, Sky King, this and that, and they're doing the codes.
01:06:28.000And people thought there was going to be nuclear war.
01:06:30.000And I thought to myself, I'm in Boston, I'm in the city, and I'm going to die in a nuclear war.
01:06:34.000I'm going to get nuked this week, and I'm not going to see my family, and I'm not going to see my friends again.
01:06:41.000I'm never going to see my hometown again.
01:07:20.000It's up to them if they want to become transgender, if they want to be degenerates, if they want to cut their ears off and blind themselves.
01:09:07.000I am so forgiving, you wouldn't believe it.
01:09:09.000I'm like the most forgiving person you've ever met.
01:09:13.000And I maintain this with Terry McCarthy, with Richard Spencer.
01:09:18.000With James Alsup, with Matt, any one of these guys, I would be forgiving.
01:09:23.000If they came to me and they said, Nick, I would like to sort these things out, I would say, okay, let's do it.
01:09:29.000And apologies could be exchanged and there could be reconciliation, but I was not in the wrong.
01:09:34.000And so I'm not going to initiate that.
01:09:36.000You know, we're still in an ongoing dispute here, and I can't talk too much about it because there still is potential litigation on the table.
01:09:48.000But with that, Company with that whole episode, and you can see the result of it a month after the split, and you can see pretty clearly who was vindicated on the grievances.
01:09:59.000My grievance was that James wasn't doing any work, and four weeks out, I think it's pretty clear.
01:12:18.000You could say I was being whiny and whatever and I would say you're right.
01:12:24.000But that you're going to kick me out of the company I founded, the brand I started on Twitter so that you could go work with somebody that you don't even know and you've known me since we were children.
01:12:34.000I mean, that's it says it all right there.
01:13:48.000Well, you can understand where I was coming from on that.
01:13:50.000And not that you should feel any sympathy, but you have to understand that if it was just, you know, if it was James splitting with me, I would say, well, I met him one time, right?
01:13:59.000And we did a podcast together for a little while and it didn't work out.
01:15:41.000People are anticipating a recession, which we're overdue for a recession.
01:15:47.000The market needs to correct itself, right?
01:15:49.000And certainly the Dow Jones, the record numbers that it's been setting are not alleviating anybody's concerns.
01:15:55.000When we see those record breaking numbers, but without the key metrics to back that up in terms of is there value being created in the economy to support the wild speculation?
01:16:50.000And what looks to be happening is that with all this money that's being pumped into the economy, a lot of it's being spent on imports, which is not stimulating our economy.
01:16:59.000So we need trade reform to really bolster that economic growth.
01:17:46.000I was a drug dealer killer, but then I saw the homomobile drive by past the neighborhood, and then I was like, you know, better stop, right?
01:17:54.000So I feel bad for you guys, but thank you.
01:17:57.000Raging Papists, great show as usual, Nick.
01:18:29.000I think Christianity is a pretty good vanguard against the excesses of racialism, of occultism, which we are starting to see a lot of among National Socialism and the paganism.
01:18:42.000You know, it's no coincidence that the alt right is an avowed anti Christian movement, and look at all the homosexuals that are in it, look at all the feminists that are in it, look at all the degeneracy that goes on.
01:18:53.000You know, Richard Spencer, not to get into his personal life, but what about his wife and kids?
01:18:57.000He's out in D.C., and I hear he's a pretty promiscuous guy.
01:19:02.000It's no coincidence that the movement is being led by the alt right movement, is led by people who are not living up to the virtues of what we should be doing, and that's because they're not Christian.
01:19:15.000So there's no one to answer to, right?
01:19:17.000If you're a Nietzschean and you believe you're the Superman, well, if you make a bad decision, well, that's on you.
01:19:24.000Well, if you're a Christian, you believe that if you make a bad decision, you're sinning against God.
01:19:28.000You're sinning against the supreme being in the world.
01:20:25.000That's why I'm ready to forgive, you know.
01:20:26.000Hi, I'm Burb says, Why are these supposed alt right leadership obsessed with the ancient Bavarian symbols rather than the flags of their own nation?
01:20:34.000A great question, and one that they cannot answer.
01:20:38.000Well, and here's the answer they don't believe in America.
01:22:14.000400 years they fought, or 500 years, and they took it back.
01:22:18.000And the same is true in Eastern Europe.
01:22:21.000I mean, the same is true all over the place.
01:22:22.000So I believe in America because I believe that we're going to fight and we're going to win and we will take it back and we don't have to, to kind of like, we're going to huddle in.
01:22:41.000And it's like, well, you know, you are bad at messaging and then that's your fault.
01:22:46.000Uncompromising misanthrope says America was, for all intents and purposes, founded by people without tradition, armed with anti traditional concepts and ideals.
01:22:55.000How do you rationalize your traditionalist worldview and your American nationalism?
01:23:37.000Inspired by the Magna Carta, 1,000 years ago.
01:23:41.000Inspired by the Glorious Revolution, 400 years ago.
01:23:44.000Inspired by parliamentary sovereignty, which began to grow later on.
01:23:51.000Individualism, liberalism, all of which came from England, all of which came from the United Kingdom, Great Britain more broadly.
01:23:59.000You look at the antecedents to the House of Representatives and the Senate in the House of Burgesses in Virginia.
01:24:04.000I mean, there was a real tradition there, a uniquely and distinctly American tradition that came up in the 17th and 18th century that became the United States, and even before that in England, English Protestantism.
01:24:19.000And you could even go back before that.
01:24:24.000The reason that the American Revolution succeeded where the French Revolution failed is because the American Revolution was not really a revolution.
01:24:32.000The American Revolution, if it is a revolution, was the most conservative revolution that we've seen in a thousand years, and one that was highly respectful of our traditions and of the limitations of our nature.
01:24:46.000You look at the system that we put in place, and it was not very much different from the English system.
01:24:51.000It was not very much different from what was going on in England at the time, or even broadly Europe.
01:25:30.000I'm a Burkean in the sense that I believe in the traditions that bond a country with the ancestors and with posterity, but I'm also a perennialist in the sense that I believe, for example, that women should be in the home.
01:25:41.000And not because that's how it's always been, but because that's how it has always worked.
01:25:46.000It's only worked when that's been the case, because perennially, that's where women belong, right?
01:26:10.000Guess we'll just go get blown up by mustard gas and IEDs and take shrapnel to the face and get our legs blown off, right?
01:26:17.000Yeah, I know it's really tough that you're going to have to raise children.
01:26:21.000We're out fighting the wars and building things and risking our lives, right?
01:26:27.000Alci Abadi says previous poster is a faggot.
01:26:30.000Well, you know, he dropped some shekels, so we don't want to totally call him a fag, but I definitely think the point is not really substantiated by the evidence, not really borne out by the history.
01:26:45.000Do more collabs with Roosh, Jay Dyer, and Orini.
01:27:36.000I don't understand how you could be a traditionalist Catholic and not recognize the collegiality that must exist for us to prevail over modernists, you know?
01:27:45.000I mean, you have people out there today.
01:27:48.000You have secularism on the rise, atheism on the rise, Protestantism is in its 500th year, still kicking and screaming.
01:27:56.000And he has this derision for Catholics, which is just really off putting to me.
01:28:03.000I mean, that is not the kind of thing that Jesus Christ talked about, but we'll see.
01:28:09.000And against the Church of Peter, nonetheless.
01:28:13.000Rich, Aroush is an Arab trying to be a Jew.
01:30:39.000In the absence of government intervention, the economy has this regenerative power where, if the government is interfering with taxes or with price controls or other things, you have this spontaneous order and everything basically works itself out.
01:30:55.000And you have this growth that is real.
01:30:57.000You have economic growth that is real and it's not based on speculation, it's not based on easy credit, it's not invented by central bankers.
01:31:05.000And because of that, it's much more robust.
01:31:10.000That's why they were very outspoken against fiat currency.
01:31:17.000Hey, Doe Hannity, how's your crypto situation?
01:31:20.000I have to tell you, I was never an investor in crypto.
01:31:23.000What happened was, I started to really get into it, and I really looked into IOTA.
01:31:28.000And then I found out that it was all bullshit.
01:31:31.000All the research I did about IOTA was using the Tangle, and it was a fourth generation crypto, it was an economy of things crypto, and wow, it has all this potential.
01:31:47.000And I said, well, I obviously know nothing about this.
01:31:50.000I don't have enough resources here at my disposal to make good decisions about this.
01:31:55.000And I'm glad that I didn't invest in crypto because, you know, I would have been buying Bitcoin when it was at $15,000 as opposed to buying it now.
01:37:04.000And I think it's more of a testament to how it is guided by Christ that it's lasted so long and not been destroyed by corruption and sin and all the rest, right?
01:37:16.000Hannah Montana, big fan of Hannah Montana.
01:37:18.000I was a big fan of that show when it was on.
01:38:55.000And that's not to say that it's not, has nothing to do with genetics, but to say that it's all about genetics, that's, that is, uh, that is, uh, Zionist stuff.
01:41:43.000Maybe I'm talking to somebody later this month about that, you know, just for my own sake, for future reference.
01:41:49.000I want to know for future reference if I can do that or not.
01:41:52.000So I might have to sit down with somebody, with a judge or something, who knows, and make sure that that is totally the case for future reference, like if I wanted to do that in the future.
01:42:03.000Because right now I think it's illegal, and that's why I didn't do it.
01:43:30.000You get the America First Premium membership, which gets you the audio only podcast format of the show on SoundCloud if you don't like watching it on YouTube all the time.
