00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:03.000 You're watching America First.
00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:10.000 Lots to talk about, lots to get into.
00:00:13.000 We are celebrating tonight another victory, another victim of Nick the Knife.
00:00:19.000 So I want everybody, before we get started, before we get rolling on the news, before we get talking, I want everybody to get your knives out.
00:00:28.000 Get your knives out, everybody.
00:00:29.000 Raisin a pie.
00:00:30.000 If you don't have a knife handy, put it up in the live chat, put up the knife emoji.
00:00:35.000 And raise your knives.
00:00:36.000 Another victory for the knife party.
00:00:39.000 Another victory for the knife party in the blood sports saga.
00:00:44.000 More blood for the blood gods.
00:00:47.000 What a grand victory it was last night.
00:00:47.000 And we're out here.
00:00:50.000 Me versus RC Maxwell, Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air, talking about ethnic versus civic nationalism.
00:00:58.000 It was pretty clear who was the victor from the comments, the live chat.
00:01:02.000 And so we just got to get out here.
00:01:04.000 Everybody's got to get their knives out, raise them high.
00:01:07.000 A toast.
00:01:08.000 To nick the knife, a toast to the new movement.
00:01:12.000 And we're out here spilling blood on the blood sports.
00:01:14.000 I thought it was a great showing last night.
00:01:15.000 It was a fun debate.
00:01:17.000 I think my prediction about it came true, essentially, which was that I was going to win.
00:01:21.000 But I guess I was really just surprised at how little he had to offer.
00:01:26.000 I mean, we didn't really even get into the usual arguments that we hear when it gets into civic versus ethnic nationalism.
00:01:33.000 I mean, we touched on some of the classics.
00:01:35.000 We was Kangs.
00:01:38.000 But we didn't really get into some of the other ones.
00:01:39.000 So I guess it was kind of expected.
00:01:41.000 It got nasty.
00:01:42.000 That was maybe what was surprising about it.
00:01:45.000 He got really nasty towards the middle and towards the end, name calling, saying all kinds of rude, mean things to me.
00:01:52.000 I don't know, is that the sign of somebody who's winning a debate?
00:01:55.000 I have a theory on this kind of thing.
00:01:57.000 When you go into a debate like this, and I'm a young guy, 19 years old, no formal education, and you got one of these old guys, this old black guy who's been to college, old dirty bastard, so to speak, and he gets on the program.
00:02:10.000 And I'm just running circles around him.
00:02:12.000 I'm sure it's very frustrating.
00:02:14.000 I'm sure that's why some of the nastiness comes out.
00:02:16.000 Because here you see a young, threatening, disruptive young guy who's 250 IQ coming at you.
00:02:23.000 And he didn't have it.
00:02:25.000 He didn't have it.
00:02:26.000 He doesn't get it.
00:02:28.000 And we know what it is, right?
00:02:31.000 But yeah, I thought it was a fun showing last night.
00:02:33.000 Thanks to Baked for having me on the stream.
00:02:35.000 It's always a fun time with Baked.
00:02:36.000 That guy cracks me up.
00:02:38.000 And he had his knife out, so we all know where he stood on that one.
00:02:42.000 But we look forward to the next debate, which is Saturday, March 3rd.
00:02:47.000 I think it's 5 p.m. Central or 6 p.m. Eastern.
00:02:50.000 I don't know.
00:02:51.000 I'll update you as the date approaches.
00:02:53.000 It's a little far out now, but the next debate will be March 3rd, Saturday, on religion.
00:02:58.000 The debate will be about religion.
00:03:00.000 It's me versus Sticks and Hammer 666 on the My Name Is Al show.
00:03:07.000 And Al's a good friend of mine, longtime fan, longtime fan of the show.
00:03:11.000 I've seen him around like forever, and he's starting his own.
00:03:14.000 He calls it a Chad cast, not a podcast.
00:03:16.000 It's the Logan Paul Chad cast, he calls it, which is charming.
00:03:20.000 And so we'll be doing it on there.
00:03:21.000 And I look forward to the next one.
00:03:22.000 Look forward to drawing more blood for the blood gods.
00:03:26.000 But that was RC last night.
00:03:28.000 And I think that debate is a good primer for anybody that's confused about what we stand for.
00:03:33.000 I think that debate is a pretty good primer for anybody who's confused about this question of what is civic nationalism, what is ethnic nationalism, why is one better than the other.
00:03:43.000 Because I believe there were several good moments where I laid out the case.
00:03:47.000 And really laid out a lot of the evidence, a lot of the good arguments against civic nationalism.
00:03:51.000 I really believe it's indefensible.
00:03:54.000 And the point that I tried to make clear last night was not that, you know, I have this plan and this is how we're going to accomplish it.
00:04:01.000 It was simply this is the reality of the situation.
00:04:05.000 And we can ignore it or we could acknowledge it and try to deal with it and try and settle it in a way that is peaceful, that is beneficial, and avoid bloodshed.
00:04:15.000 It's not a question of is it correct, is it incorrect, is it morally right, is it morally wrong.
00:04:21.000 This is the nature of human civilization, of society for men.
00:04:28.000 And there's really no way around that.
00:04:29.000 We've seen time and time again when you have these multi ethnic, multi racial polities, they try for civic nationalism.
00:04:35.000 They try so hard to make it work.
00:04:39.000 And it never has.
00:04:40.000 And it doesn't anywhere today.
00:04:42.000 And it never will.
00:04:43.000 And we can either accept that and we can deal with it.
00:04:45.000 And we can come up with ways to mitigate that or to resolve that.
00:04:50.000 Or we can let gravity take its course and it'll all come tumbling down.
00:04:54.000 But, you know, it's funny today I had a little bit of a vindicating moment for civic nationalism.
00:04:59.000 I was tweeting about it.
00:05:00.000 I was on my way downtown.
00:05:02.000 And I'll get into why I was going downtown in a minute, but I'm on my way downtown and I took an Uber downtown.
00:05:09.000 So it's pouring rain and I call it my Uber.
00:05:11.000 I get in the car and it's a woman.
00:05:13.000 And I've never had a woman driver before, but I jump in and she's telling me, Oh, I really don't want to go downtown.
00:05:21.000 I really don't want to drive on the expressway in the rain.
00:05:24.000 Is there some other way we could take?
00:05:26.000 It's going to take a long time.
00:05:28.000 Maybe you could reschedule what you're doing in the city.
00:05:29.000 Like all these crazy excuses to the point where like 10 minutes into the ride, She just dumps me off at a gas station.
00:05:35.000 She's like, I'm too afraid to drive in the expressway in the rain.
00:05:39.000 You're just going to have to get another driver, which is kind of bullshit because I didn't pay to go 10 minutes.
00:05:44.000 I didn't pay to get taken to the gas station.
00:05:46.000 I don't need to go to the gas station.
00:05:48.000 I need to go downtown.
00:05:50.000 So I'm at the gas station.
00:05:51.000 I'm like, all right, thanks for nothing.
00:05:53.000 Thank you for leaving me stranded here.
00:05:56.000 So I call up another Uber, and here's where the argument comes in.
00:05:58.000 I call up another Uber, and what's the guy's name?
00:06:01.000 It's like Jinjang or something.
00:06:04.000 And not that there's anything wrong with that.
00:06:06.000 But the guy's name is Jin Jang, and I'm trying to put the dot on the map for where he's supposed to pick me up.
00:06:12.000 And the gas station is on the wrong side of the map on the Uber map.
00:06:16.000 Like it's on one side of the street, but the map says it's on the other.
00:06:18.000 Long story short, it's difficult to find on the map.
00:06:22.000 But they do call you.
00:06:23.000 If they can't find you, they do call you, and they say, like, where are you?
00:06:26.000 You know, how can I get to you?
00:06:27.000 I mean, this is standard procedure if anybody's taking an Uber.
00:06:30.000 And so I call the guy up, and I say, okay, I'm at the Thornton's gas station.
00:06:34.000 It's hard for me to put it on the map, but I'm at the Thornton's gas station.
00:06:38.000 And the guy cannot speak English.
00:06:41.000 He doesn't know what I'm saying.
00:06:43.000 It's impossible for me to communicate with him.
00:06:45.000 What?
00:06:45.000 He's like, Oh, what?
00:06:46.000 And I'm like, The Thornton's gas station.
00:06:49.000 I'm all the way out here.
00:06:50.000 I'm at The Thornton's gas station.
00:06:52.000 It's on this side of the street.
00:06:53.000 And then he just hangs up.
00:06:55.000 And this is maybe the fourth or fifth time that I've had to deal with this.
00:06:59.000 When I was in Miami, I took an Uber to the airport.
00:07:01.000 Same thing happened, except they were speaking Spanish.
00:07:04.000 And this is the problem with civic nationalism.
00:07:07.000 How do you have a country that even works on the most logistical?
00:07:11.000 Rudimentary level, if you can't communicate with one another, right?
00:07:16.000 How is that supposed to work?
00:07:18.000 And people might say, oh, well, in civic nationalism, we all speak the same language.
00:07:22.000 Okay, yeah, good luck with that.
00:07:24.000 Good luck with that, getting all the 150 million Hispanics that are pouring into the country by the mid century, getting them all on board with English.
00:07:31.000 Because, you know, I see the elementary and the high schools, and it seems like a lot of them are bilingual.
00:07:36.000 I see a lot of these enclaves.
00:07:39.000 It doesn't look like there's a lot of English going on in Little Village, but, you know, who knows?
00:07:43.000 But so I'm on the way downtown, and I'll tell you, I was going downtown.
00:07:46.000 If you recall, on the call in show last week, if you remember on Friday, we were doing our call in show, we were in the Discord, and somebody calls up and says, I wanted to meet you in person.
00:07:56.000 You remember, I was like, eh, I don't really know so much about that.
00:07:59.000 I don't really like to meet up with people because people want to kill me.
00:08:03.000 People want to beat the shit out of me.
00:08:04.000 People, you know, some people, some prominent people call me up on the phone in the middle of the night, drunk, and say the next time they see me, they're going to kick my ass.
00:08:12.000 So a lot of people want to do harm to me.
00:08:15.000 I don't like when people call me and say, like, hey, you want to meet up.
00:08:18.000 But so this person called me up, and a lot of people I remember were saying, I don't know about that.
00:08:22.000 A couple of people messaged me and said, Be careful, like whatever.
00:08:26.000 Well, it turns out the person who was calling was from this organization called Life After Hate, which is the same organization that that guy, Christian Piccellini or Piccolini, is from.
00:08:37.000 If you recall, he's that he seems like a fed to me.
00:08:41.000 He's the former white supremacist or former white nationalist, former skinhead who saw the light of liberalism and now he's like rehabilitating.
00:08:50.000 And so Richard Spencer went down to see him.
00:08:53.000 I think in Montana, wherever they are, and he went to see them and they talked a little bit.
00:08:57.000 And so this guy was from the same organization.
00:08:59.000 So we went down to the city and we talked.
00:09:01.000 And I thought, what the hell?
00:09:02.000 Let's give it a go.
00:09:03.000 And we'll see.
00:09:03.000 Maybe you'll see that encounter.
00:09:06.000 Maybe in the near future you'll see that encounter.
00:09:09.000 Maybe it's a part of a bigger project.
00:09:11.000 But so I sit down with the guy.
00:09:11.000 Who knows?
00:09:13.000 And this is important because what I was very clear to do last night was lay out exactly what I believe.
00:09:21.000 Not dog whistle.
00:09:23.000 Not try and be edgy or be funny in certain ways, but just to lay out this is the factual case for the concerns that I have.
00:09:30.000 This is the factual case for the anxieties that people have when we're talking about different peoples coming together and peoples that are different, that have different values and different characteristics from different places, that have different outcomes.
00:09:44.000 And what happens when they live in the same place?
00:09:45.000 What happens when they live in the same country, under the same government, competing for the same resources?
00:09:51.000 Why that doesn't always work out?
00:09:53.000 Why maybe it could never work out?
00:09:55.000 And so I was very careful to lay it out factually without any kind of weird rhetoric, hateful rhetoric, that kind of thing.
00:10:03.000 And I come up to this guy today and we're talking.
00:10:07.000 And he was a nice enough guy.
00:10:08.000 I thought he was a nice guy.
00:10:10.000 He was a genuine guy.
00:10:11.000 And he was involved, I guess, in the KKK and the skinheads back 20 years ago.
00:10:16.000 He's part of White Nationalist 1.0.
00:10:20.000 And we're talking.
00:10:21.000 And as we're talking, I'm realizing something.
00:10:23.000 He has it in his head that I'm like a secret white supremacist.
00:10:28.000 He says he watches my show sometimes.
00:10:29.000 He knows what I believe, but he says he thinks I'm a white supremacist.
00:10:34.000 He thinks I'm a white supremacist.
00:10:35.000 He says, my views are the same as the KKK.
00:10:37.000 He says, I was in the KKK, and your views are no different than the KKK.
00:10:42.000 They say they're against multiculturalism.
00:10:44.000 They say that white people are the only people in the world that are not allowed to be proud of who they are, and on and on.
00:10:50.000 And I'm half tempted to say, like, well, you know, maybe there's something to that, but I think it's important to notice these things that the left.
00:10:58.000 And the center, and all these people that are not on board this train, they really will not contest.
00:11:03.000 They really will not engage with the arguments.
00:11:05.000 And RC did this last night.
00:11:07.000 This gentleman did it this afternoon.
00:11:09.000 They refused to engage with the arguments, which was if I sat down with this guy and he told me, well, here's why you're wrong about that races are different.
00:11:18.000 Here's why you're wrong to oppose mass immigration.
00:11:21.000 Here's why you're wrong to oppose interracial dating and marriages.
00:11:24.000 Here's why you're wrong.
00:11:26.000 And X, Y, and Z.
00:11:26.000 And that I could hear.
00:11:28.000 That would be relatable to me.
00:11:30.000 If he.
00:11:31.000 Could give me an argument as to why it's wrong that I'm against free trade and all the other issues, then we could have a debate.
00:11:37.000 Then we could look at claims and we could look at what the evidence for those claims are and we could evaluate.
00:11:42.000 Is it a legitimate claim?
00:11:44.000 Is it not a legitimate claim?
00:11:45.000 Is this a legitimate concern or is it not?
00:11:48.000 Is it bad data that we're using?
00:11:50.000 But the only argument seemed to be from both sides was well, your views are like this group that is evil, that's synonymous with the worst thing in the world.
00:11:59.000 It's just like the KKK, which in this day and age, is the KKK so different than Black Lives Matter?
00:12:05.000 Is the KKK so different than La Raza or the Council on American Islamic Relations?
00:12:12.000 But, you know, because it's white and because they do have a history of violence, to be associated with that is death, is public death, public suicide.
00:12:20.000 You're ostracized.
00:12:21.000 You're not in politics.
00:12:22.000 But that is why it is such a delicate tightrope to walk.
00:12:27.000 And that's why when people say, Nick, bring on E. Michael Jones on your show, Nick, bring on David Duke on your show, that's why I say you can't do it because we have to be very careful to define who we are as different than the bad guys.
00:12:39.000 And I know people might say, oh, well, if you actually look at the bad guys, maybe there's a case to be made.
00:12:43.000 And I'm not really interested in that.
00:12:45.000 Because we all know that when you hear those kinds of things, people turn off, the thought goes off, you're not thinking anymore, you're not using rational thought anymore, you're not engaging anymore.
00:12:55.000 People think you're the KKK or you're like the KKK and we want nothing to do with you.
00:13:00.000 You're like Hitler, you're literally Hitler and we want nothing to do with you.
00:13:04.000 And so that's why the optics is really important.
00:13:05.000 But I just thought that was an interesting little encounter.
00:13:08.000 He was a nice enough guy.
00:13:08.000 It was productive.
00:13:09.000 He said he wants to stay in touch and I'm interested in that.
00:13:12.000 He said just to be careful because you surround yourself with violence and negativity and all that.
00:13:17.000 Kim corrupt, and I don't think we are.
00:13:18.000 I think it's a very positive message.
00:13:20.000 I think we preach nothing but non violence on this show.
00:13:23.000 I think I'm the least violent person you've ever met.
00:13:26.000 If I engaged in violence with most people, it really wouldn't end well for me.
00:13:30.000 But just a little interesting thing that happened to me today that it's just funny because for like an hour and 45 minutes, it was like, You're a white supremacist.
00:13:37.000 No, I'm not.
00:13:39.000 Yeah, you are.
00:13:39.000 No, I'm really not.
00:13:40.000 Well, you just don't want to say it.
00:13:42.000 No, I just don't believe it.
00:13:44.000 Well, you're not mad enough to defend it.
00:13:45.000 Well, I'm not defending it because it's not what I believe.
00:13:48.000 But aren't you, though?
00:13:50.000 No, I'm really not.
00:13:51.000 I mean, for two hours, it was just this in circles.
00:13:53.000 And it's this thing with the left where they want us to be a certain way.
00:13:57.000 It was like that debate between Anglin and Sargon, where they want us to be a certain way.
00:14:01.000 They have it in their head of who we are.
00:14:03.000 And we're like, we're actually not like that at all.
00:14:06.000 And they're like, oh, I don't care.
00:14:07.000 Yeah, you are.
00:14:09.000 But just a little interesting that happened.
00:14:11.000 We got to get into, folks, we got to get into the news.
00:14:14.000 We got to get into, speaking of anger and hate, we got to get into the news.
00:14:22.000 We got to get into the current events, folks.
00:14:24.000 Get the knives out for current events.
00:14:26.000 It's the current events segment of the show.
00:14:29.000 I'm going to get in trouble for this.
00:14:30.000 You bring out the knife, it sends such a bad message.
00:14:33.000 Why?
00:14:33.000 But I do it because it's funny.
00:14:35.000 You know, people say all the time, Nick, why do you say this?
00:14:37.000 Why do you say that?
00:14:38.000 Comedic value has more value than anything else.
00:14:40.000 But I have to get into the news.
00:14:43.000 The big developments here are about the guns.
00:14:46.000 More talk about the guns today.
00:14:49.000 And Donald Trump caved a little bit.
00:14:51.000 He ordered his one of the departments, I think it was.
00:14:54.000 I think it was the Justice Department.
00:14:57.000 I could be wrong about that.
00:14:59.000 I didn't put that in the notes, but he ordered one of the departments to look into banning bump stocks and other mechanisms that can make a semi automatic weapon an automatic weapon, of course, in response to the Florida shooting, which I actually think is a good move.
00:15:12.000 I actually think that's a good move because if you understand that automatic weapons are illegal and bump stocks or other technologies effectively make semi automatic weapons into automatic weapons, is that.
00:15:25.000 Like a terrible thing to compromise on.
00:15:27.000 If you imagine that Donald Trump suffers a terrible news cycle because you have the kids and they're out there and, you know, they're laughing it up off camera, but on camera, you know, we need to act.
00:15:37.000 You're with us or against us.
00:15:39.000 Is that such a bad thing?
00:15:40.000 He gets a bad news cycle if he doesn't act.
00:15:42.000 If he does act, he gets a big news cycle.
00:15:44.000 And he acts on something which is technically already illegal, which I think is probably the most reasonable regulation that the left is asking for.
00:15:52.000 So I don't think that was such a terrible thing.
00:15:53.000 That said, there was a huge defeat for the gun control lobby.
00:15:59.000 The Florida House and Senate shut down or they shot down a law that would have banned semi automatic weapons, a ban on semi automatic weapons.
00:16:08.000 So that got shot down.
00:16:09.000 You had Trump.
00:16:10.000 Banning the bump stocks, but the ban on semi automatic weapons in Florida got shut down.
00:16:14.000 They're going to look into, however, putting in place more restrictions for how you buy the firearms, which I don't know.
00:16:21.000 I just happen to think that no matter how many, and I said it before, I'll say it again, no matter how many laws you passed, it's not going to cut it.
00:16:28.000 You know, this kid didn't use a bump stock in this shooting.
00:16:30.000 Virginia Tech, the guy didn't use a bump stock.
00:16:33.000 Adam Lanza didn't use a bump stock.
00:16:34.000 The only one who used a bump stock was Stephen Paddock, and we don't even know what the hell went on with that one, right?
00:16:39.000 And it was funny because I'm reading about the bump stocks, I'm reading about the semi automatic weapon ban.
00:16:44.000 And they keep saying this phrase that the automatic rifle is the weapon of choice for killers.
00:16:49.000 It's the weapon of choice.
00:16:50.000 And I think to myself, if you actually look at the data, the vast, vast majority of homicides in the country are not gun related homicides, they are not committed using semi automatic weapons or rifles at all.
00:17:02.000 They're using handguns.
00:17:04.000 Where do you see the most gun violence in the country?
00:17:06.000 Or, you know, in any case, it's in the cities and it's with handguns.
00:17:10.000 I live in the suburbs of Chicago and you see every night on the nightly news, you know, another person dead, a toddler executed in an alley.
00:17:18.000 Three people killed in a drive by.
00:17:20.000 What do you think they're using in these cases?
00:17:22.000 They're using handguns.
00:17:24.000 And you have some of the strictest gun regulations in the country.
00:17:28.000 So, you know, they say it's the weapon of choice.
00:17:30.000 Semi automatic rifles are the problem.
00:17:32.000 Not only are those not even the majority of homicides, they aren't even the majority of mass shootings or gun related homicides.
00:17:40.000 And then you look even further, and gun related homicides are a fraction of knife related homicides or auto accidents or any other kind of homicide.
00:17:48.000 You had in the last year more people kill each other using their fists.
00:17:53.000 Than with rifles.
00:17:55.000 So, what are we going to do next?
00:17:56.000 And that just gets down to the problem that violence is not a matter of the tools used to exercise it, not the tools used to achieve violence or to further violence, but it's the tendencies.
00:18:09.000 Why are people committing violence?
00:18:13.000 You know, if, well, if we just got rid of the tools people use to be violent, well, violence would subside.
00:18:17.000 No, people would still have differences that could not be reconciled any other ways in their perception than with violence.
00:18:24.000 That's the root of the problem.
00:18:25.000 But, This is basic bitch stuff.
00:18:27.000 The other thing I want to talk about with the shooting, which is, you know, they're doing this big push now for gun control.
00:18:33.000 A mass rally will be held on March 14th, a mass rally on March 24th, a mass rally on April 20th, and they're going to hit this hard for the next two months.
00:18:41.000 And these kids are going to be out there making the rounds and crying, and we need gun control and all this.
00:18:46.000 And I say that cynically because not to detract from a very legitimate grievance, not to detract from a very legitimate feeling that people have about it, but simply to say that.
00:18:57.000 This is not how we should make political decisions.
00:18:59.000 That you have children who are upset because they just had a terrible trauma in their lives and now they're on the, you know, that's not the way that we make policy decisions in any case, you know.
00:19:09.000 And all the people that are pushing for gun control, these were the same people that were completely unmoved by the death of Kate Steinlee, right?
00:19:17.000 And how many atrocities, you know, how many atrocities are we going to fall for something sad and jump into a war or jump into a policy we regret?
00:19:24.000 But the other thing I want to talk about with this gun control push is.
00:19:28.000 Is really the cause of it, which was the shooting.
00:19:30.000 And we're seeing a lot of witness accounts from the shooting which simply don't add up.
00:19:35.000 And before we go any further, I will say this.
00:19:38.000 Since Las Vegas, the media has lost all credibility on matters of gun violence or mass shootings or anything like this.
00:19:46.000 Before Stephen Paddock, you might have been able to say people who are conspiracy theorists don't respect the people that died or whatever.
00:19:55.000 But after Las Vegas, there is simply no credibility.
00:19:57.000 You simply cannot trust the media because something happened there that we don't know what the hell it was.
00:20:03.000 We still see no CCTV footage.
00:20:05.000 We still don't know why there was no hard drive recovered.
00:20:08.000 We don't know what was on the note he left.
00:20:09.000 I mean, there are so many unanswered questions, and yet the media doesn't ask them.
00:20:13.000 The media hasn't looked into it.
00:20:14.000 The media buried the story.
00:20:16.000 They've lost all credibility.
00:20:17.000 I don't trust them.
00:20:18.000 I don't trust them.
00:20:19.000 Anytime I see one of these things, the first thing that pops into my head is, let's make sure it actually happened.
00:20:25.000 And in this case, I'm convinced it probably happened, but you hear a lot of accounts, a lot of witness accounts from the school that just don't seem to make a lot of sense.
00:20:34.000 You have several students who came out and said that.
00:20:37.000 There was supposed to be a fire drill on Wednesday, February 14th, the day of the shooting.
00:20:43.000 There was supposed to be a fire drill that morning.
00:20:45.000 And so they did their fire drill.
00:20:46.000 And then the fire alarm went off again later in the day, which was, of course, Nicholas Cruz pulling the fire alarm to cause chaos and then go and kill people.
00:20:54.000 So they said, well, that's why we thought it was weird because there was a fire drill earlier in the day.
00:20:59.000 And then the fire alarm went off later.
00:21:00.000 So we all thought, oh, it was just, you know, maybe some kind of tech issue or whatever.
00:21:05.000 But then we're also hearing, we heard from two separate witnesses.
00:21:08.000 That there was supposed to be a lockdown drill that day.
00:21:11.000 So there was a fire drill, but also there was a lockdown drill the same day.
00:21:16.000 Fire drill early in the day, another fire alarm goes off.
00:21:18.000 They say that's weird.
00:21:20.000 But also they thought nothing's really happening when they heard the gunshots because two separate students said that they expected a lockdown drill.
00:21:27.000 They expected that not only would there be a lockdown drill, but that cops would be firing blanks in the school and taking kids out of the school and that the kids would be screaming.
00:21:37.000 That's what one of the witnesses said.
00:21:39.000 They said that we didn't react so much because we were told there would be a lockdown drill.
00:21:43.000 And we were also told that during the lockdown drill, during the active shooter drill, there would be cops firing blanks in the school.
00:21:52.000 And while they were shooting the blanks, they would be taking kids out of the school and the kids would be pretending that they were actually being taken out, screaming.
00:22:00.000 Now, first of all, I think to myself, what the hell kind of drill is this?
00:22:04.000 I was in high school two years ago and the most it was was that we huddled in the corner, we turned off the lights, and that was the end of it.
00:22:10.000 Not only that, we weren't told what day it was.
00:22:12.000 We were told it was going to be sometime within the month.
00:22:14.000 And, you know, maybe they came around and they jiggled the handle and there was a police presence and there was like a, you know, whatever.
00:22:19.000 The police came out to simulate what it would be like.
00:22:23.000 But nobody was firing blanks and nobody was screaming.
00:22:27.000 That seems unheard of to me.
00:22:28.000 Isn't that a safety precaution?
00:22:30.000 Some people ever replied to my tweet.
00:22:32.000 I tweeted about this and they said, well, no, they did this in my school.
00:22:35.000 But then I ask, this happened on Valentine's Day.
00:22:35.000 And I say, okay.
00:22:39.000 They ordered a lockdown drill for Valentine's Day?
00:22:41.000 I mean, doesn't that just, and that's a small thing, but doesn't that seem a little bit peculiar?
00:22:45.000 Out of all the days to schedule a lockdown drill, you schedule it during a holiday when it is going to be out of the ordinary, where there are going to be different procedures, where maybe there's some festivities being held.
00:22:55.000 I know in my school they did candy grams where on Valentine's Day people were out of their classes and they were out there distributing candy to students and people who were involved in whatever club that was doing it.
00:23:07.000 So you have things that are out of the ordinary on a holiday, and yet they schedule the lockdown drill.
00:23:11.000 And they happen to schedule the lockdown drill, allegedly.
00:23:14.000 The same day as the fire drill.
00:23:16.000 So, on Valentine's Day, this is a pretty eventful Valentine's Day.
00:23:19.000 It's Valentine's Day.
00:23:20.000 You go to school, and there's a fire drill, and then there's also a lockdown drill.
00:23:24.000 And also during this lockdown drill, they're firing blanks, they're taking kids out screaming.
00:23:28.000 And people say, well, that's kind of weird.
00:23:31.000 Isn't it kind of a coincidence that a shooting happened while there was an active shooter drill?
00:23:34.000 Isn't that kind of bizarre?
00:23:36.000 And people say, oh, well, maybe the shooter knew about it and he planned it around that so that people would be caught off guard.
00:23:43.000 But then I think to myself, and people should be thinking to themselves, wouldn't there be an increased police presence at the school if there was a lockdown drill?
00:23:50.000 Wouldn't that be the worst of all days to do a school shooting?
00:23:55.000 When there were school shooting drills at my school, you had cops in the halls, you had cop cars all around the school.
00:24:01.000 If anything, you would get caught much easier, much quicker.
00:24:04.000 I think the shooting would have ended a lot more quickly if there was supposed to be a lockdown drill.
00:24:08.000 Weren't there cops supposed to be there if there was going to be a lockdown drill?
00:24:11.000 And, you know, look, I'm not saying that I doubt what happened.
00:24:15.000 Of course, the official story is true, and we should never doubt it.
00:24:19.000 But you just have these witness accounts.
00:24:21.000 You have other witnesses who say there were two shooters.
00:24:24.000 You have other witnesses who say they talked to the shooter during the shooting.
00:24:28.000 And then the kid, he goes out and he gets Subway and McDonald's afterwards.
00:24:31.000 I mean, there's just things where.
00:24:33.000 I just really hope that law enforcement answers these questions.
00:24:36.000 I'm sure there's an explanation for all of this.
00:24:38.000 I'm sure that after the dust settles, they will come forward with a timeline which explains why these confusions happen, why people are saying that there were two drills on Valentine's Day and they're of this weird nature, and also there weren't police there to, and all the rest.
00:24:55.000 Hopefully the investigators answer these questions, but until then, I seriously doubt.
00:25:01.000 It just doesn't add up to me.
00:25:02.000 I don't know how you can square all these circles.
00:25:04.000 And then you add up the fact that.
00:25:06.000 One of the kids who's out there talking about the shooting, his dad was in the FBI.
00:25:11.000 So think about that for a moment.
00:25:12.000 One of the kids that's out there touring the country right now, I forget the guy's name, Hodge, I think.
00:25:18.000 Not only was he on the news in L.A. just in August in California for some other unrelated story, he was on the news in L.A., but his dad's an FBI agent.
00:25:28.000 And then you look into the situation with Cruz, and we've been talking on the show all week about how, you know, he couldn't have done anything more.
00:25:37.000 To say that he was going to do something bad, right?
00:25:39.000 The cops went to his house 36 times and then you start to really wonder why he was allowed?
00:25:46.000 Was it just criminal negligence?
00:25:49.000 Was it just because we were saying on the show all week, how did this guy slip through the cracks?
00:25:53.000 There were so many warning signs.
00:25:55.000 FBI was tipped off twice, police were there 36 times.
00:25:58.000 The guy's dad, who adopted him, was in military intelligence and he didn't see the warning signs and nobody had any issues with this.
00:26:05.000 And it's like, was it just that negligent?
00:26:08.000 Was it just that weird that it happened to happen on a day where there were all these drills?
00:26:13.000 Or was there something more?
00:26:14.000 Is there something they're not telling us?
00:26:15.000 And I wouldn't be suspicious if not for the gun control push and if not for what happened in Las Vegas.
00:26:21.000 But you have all these weird things.
00:26:23.000 You have this big push, a real big push like we haven't seen in a long time for gun control, and just all these unanswered questions.
00:26:31.000 But we're following it very closely.
00:26:33.000 It's been in the news for weeks and weeks and weeks, or, you know, a week.
00:26:38.000 But we'll keep watching it.
00:26:40.000 I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
00:26:41.000 I don't have a conspiracy theory.
00:26:43.000 I just have a lot of questions about it.
00:26:45.000 Not a conspiracy theorist.
00:26:47.000 I don't think there's anything going on here, but just a lot of questions that have to be answered.
00:26:51.000 There just has to be questions answered.
00:26:53.000 And I'm sure the answers will come out.
00:26:55.000 I can't imagine how or why anybody would fake something like this or where they would try and put on an attack like this because there's no doubt people died, but why anybody would do it for political motivation.
00:27:08.000 So I'm sure there's an explanation, but we have to hear it.
00:27:11.000 We have to get the police to answer these questions because I can't be the only one who sees these videos and thinks, I'm sorry, that doesn't add up.
00:27:19.000 And you can respect the people that died, and you can respect the families, and you can respect the situation, but also maintain some objective questioning about it.
00:27:30.000 I don't think we can trust after Vegas.
00:27:32.000 But that's still some fallout from the shooting there, and we'll see.
00:27:39.000 We'll see.
00:27:40.000 I know Trump is looking into more actions he can take, and not like school shootings never happen, but this one just seems a little bit odd.
00:27:48.000 Just have to have some answers on those questions.
00:27:50.000 But.
00:27:51.000 That was a shooting.
00:27:52.000 Moving right along, and this is where we really get to the fundamental point.
00:27:55.000 It's actually a pretty good segue.
00:27:57.000 We've been hearing now, alongside talk about the shooting, we've been hearing talk about this small province in Syria, a rebel outpost in Syria called Gouda.
00:28:08.000 I think that's maybe I'm butchering the pronunciation, but it's Gouda in Syria.
00:28:12.000 And this is the latest humanitarian crisis in the Middle East, where I think a month ago was Yemen talking about, oh, you know, it's the worst humanitarian crisis.
00:28:20.000 Yemen's getting bombarded, they're starving.
00:28:22.000 Now it's Gouda, and this is all everybody's talking about in BBC and NBC, all these different stations.
00:28:28.000 Well, there's been 250 civilians killed, and Assad is bombing hospitals, and Assad is bombing medical clinics, and he's bombing schools.
00:28:37.000 And this is the worst civilian disaster in X, Y, and Z.
00:28:41.000 And here's a perfect example.
00:28:42.000 Here's a perfect example of the kind of exploitation of atrocities that goes on.
00:28:48.000 And maybe this is the theme of the show, because the next one kind of has to do with that as well, the other big story.
00:28:53.000 But you have here.
00:28:54.000 This civilian crisis where we don't know what's going on in Ghouta.
00:28:58.000 You hear these stories being reported, and I think people are very quick to say, that's terrible.
00:29:03.000 Oh my God, this is so bad, what's happening in Syria.
00:29:07.000 But you have to step back and say, wait a minute, well, who's reporting this?
00:29:11.000 We're hearing that these things are happening, but we're not there.
00:29:13.000 We don't know these things are happening.
00:29:15.000 Who's the medium?
00:29:16.000 Who is the medium of communication between what's happening there and what's happening here?
00:29:20.000 Of course, it's the media.
00:29:21.000 And what is the media's agenda?
00:29:22.000 Who owns the media?
00:29:23.000 What does the media want?
00:29:25.000 What other wars did the media favor?
00:29:27.000 What other conflicts did the media favor U.S. intervention?
00:29:30.000 Why are they reporting on this story?
00:29:32.000 Why is this story number one instead of the other story?
00:29:34.000 On BBC, this has been the headline for the past three days: what's happening in Ghouta.
00:29:39.000 Why did they pick that headline instead of an atrocity happening somewhere else?
00:29:43.000 Why did they pick that instead of the song that was being sung in South Africa about how they want to kill white people?
00:29:49.000 Why that one, but not that one?
00:29:51.000 And then we start to ask those questions.
00:29:52.000 You realize what's the agenda going on there?
00:29:54.000 And this is only the latest example of a humanitarian crisis in the Middle East where.
00:29:59.000 You mark my words, the next step will be another call for intervention in Syria.
00:30:05.000 And we hear the war drums beating.
00:30:06.000 We've heard them for a long time when it was the Kurds who are being shelled currently or being attacked by the Turks.
00:30:13.000 We heard this about the chemical weapons attack almost exactly a year ago, last April.
00:30:18.000 We heard this about Iran with the revolution that was happening, the Green Revolution 2.0 that was underway.
00:30:25.000 And, you know, Red Elephant, Red Elephant, who got on the comments section of James' video and says, Nick is literally a child.
00:30:32.000 He doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:30:33.000 Red elephant bought into that and said it was a freedom protest.
00:30:36.000 There were freedom fighters in Iran.
00:30:38.000 You know, it turned out that was totally bogus.
00:30:40.000 But we've been hearing the war drums for months and months and months.
00:30:43.000 And mark my words, this will be the new refrain.
00:30:45.000 Either it'll be another chemical weapons attack, it'll be another civilian casualty.
00:30:51.000 I'm projecting, I think this is a good prediction, that in the next two to three months, we'll be hearing a lot more about this.
00:30:56.000 Because while we're watching this domestic circus go on at home about gun control and about Russia investigation and all the rest, The Middle East is rapidly spiraling out of control.
00:31:07.000 I don't know if anybody's really been keeping a close eye on this.
00:31:11.000 We've been talking about it a lot on the show, but just to give you an overview of all that's been happening in the region, you have just in the last week, Turkey is invading Syria to fight the Kurds.
00:31:23.000 Israel killed Iranians in Syria, and now they're the closest to war as they've ever been in their history.
00:31:31.000 The United States killed 100 Russian mercenaries in an airstrike on Syrians.
00:31:36.000 Saudi Arabia has had a massive anti corruption purge.
00:31:39.000 They've been antagonistic towards every country in the region.
00:31:42.000 There was a civil war in Yemen, there was this revolution.
00:31:45.000 In Iran, there's a troop surge in Afghanistan, there's joint military exercises between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
00:31:52.000 And so, mark my words, something has got to give in that region.
00:31:57.000 And I'm sure when it does, and as it happens, as it spirals out of control, you will hear the war drums.
00:32:03.000 And this is why I'm against whether it's the poor, you know, like Syrian child who washes up on the shores of Turkey, you know, or the refugee that just wanted to get into Europe, or it's, you know, all these kids from the high school where.
00:32:17.000 You know, they're laughing off camera and they're taking selfies and they're typing about Justin Bieber, but then when they get on camera, they're very serious and very mournful and very respectful.
00:32:26.000 You cannot have a political ideology, a political platform, a political message or prescription that is based entirely on guilt or on emotions because we see what happens.
00:32:38.000 If you're for that mode of conduct, if you're for that modus operandi of kids are crying and therefore we need to act in the way that the people are taking pictures of them tell us to, Well, then you're for war in Syria because what?
00:32:52.000 You don't care about the kids that are being shelved?
00:32:54.000 And you're for complete gun confiscation because that's the only way we're going to solve it.
00:32:58.000 We have to act on this.
00:32:59.000 And that guy shouldn't have had guns, and nobody should have had guns.
00:33:03.000 And on and on and on.
00:33:05.000 And where does it end?
00:33:06.000 Where does it end?
00:33:07.000 Where do we say what is good for our country, what is good for our people, what is right, what is based on the empirical evidence?
00:33:15.000 But I can't stand it when I see it in Syria.
00:33:17.000 The warmongering has got to stop.
00:33:19.000 When?
00:33:20.000 When will the United States, and more specifically the media and the military industrial complex, when is enough enough that things are going to happen in the world that are very bad?
00:33:30.000 And yet it's none of our concern.
00:33:32.000 Every day things like this happen in Africa.
00:33:35.000 Every day things like this happen in Southeast Asia.
00:33:37.000 You know, these things are ongoing in Myanmar with the Rohingya in the Northeast.
00:33:43.000 These things are ongoing in Kenya where they have all kinds of troubles with their democracy.
00:33:47.000 These things happen all over South and Western Africa.
00:33:50.000 These things happen in Latin America.
00:33:52.000 Where you have drug killings and gang killings and so on.
00:33:56.000 But they pick the story.
00:33:58.000 They pick the country.
00:33:59.000 They pick the theater where it's going to benefit the people that are picking the stories.
00:34:04.000 And we know who those people are.
00:34:05.000 So that's Syria.
00:34:06.000 I'm just so sick of it.
00:34:08.000 And those will be, that'll be the war drums that you'll hear coming up.
00:34:11.000 And we have to stay very strong about that, very hardline about that.
00:34:15.000 We have no business in Syria.
00:34:16.000 You know, we have 25 advisors on the ground now.
00:34:19.000 We have 2,500 military personnel.
00:34:21.000 And they were there to fight ISIS.
00:34:23.000 And they're there to shore up.
00:34:25.000 The gains that were made.
00:34:26.000 We saw the mistake that was made when we pulled out too quickly.
00:34:29.000 We didn't leave a residual force when Barack Obama withdrew from Iraq in 2011.
00:34:34.000 And so we have a very tiny force.
00:34:36.000 2,500 is modest in comparison to our occupation or our presence in European countries.
00:34:42.000 There's more troops in Italy than there are in Syria, to give you some context.
00:34:47.000 So we have a small force there, but other than that, we have no business in Syria.
00:34:51.000 We have no business in Yemen.
00:34:53.000 We have no business in Iran.
00:34:55.000 We have no business in any of these countries.
00:34:57.000 Our business is here.
00:34:59.000 We still have people that are getting killed by illegals.
00:35:02.000 We still have bridges collapsing.
00:35:04.000 We pay $100 billion for the illegals that are in this country.
00:35:07.000 Let's focus on that.
00:35:08.000 We still have a border that's unsecured.
00:35:10.000 Let's focus on that.
00:35:11.000 And yet, we're in all these other countries building gas stations and soccer leagues.
00:35:16.000 And we have troops all over there, and the media only wants more and more and more.
00:35:20.000 And when is it enough?
00:35:21.000 But that's Syria.
00:35:23.000 The last thing I want to talk about today, and we're a little bit over the place, but the theme is basically the same.
00:35:28.000 And here is a successful example where we repel these influences that are demanding that we act in places that we don't want to, that are ordering us to feel guilty about ourselves and our history.
00:35:40.000 The Polish, the based Poles, top senator in Poland today has called on Poles across the world to report to any diplomats, any consulates, anti Polish slander.
00:35:53.000 And I love this.
00:35:55.000 Because in this country, every day of the week, what do we hear from our senators?
00:35:59.000 What do we hear from our leaders, our media people, our leaders?
00:36:01.000 It's nothing but how much we have sins, and we're not a perfect nation, and we have to atone for our sins.
00:36:09.000 And some could say the original sin of America was slavery, and in all this stuff, And America's not great, and we're sorry for Trump, and all this.
00:36:16.000 And here's a country, Poland, where there was all this slander that came out against Poland, if you recall, a couple of weeks ago on Holocaust Remembrance Day, where people said, Well, the Polish played a part in the Holocaust, and everybody has to recognize that the Polish were anti Semites, too.
00:36:33.000 And the Poles came out very strongly and said, No, you don't.
00:36:37.000 Poland was occupied.
00:36:38.000 We had no responsibility in that.
00:36:40.000 You will not paint us in that way.
00:36:41.000 You will not corrupt our history and paint us in a bad light.
00:36:44.000 And now you have this top senator today coming out still.
00:36:47.000 Weeks later, no cucking, no backtracking, no backing down from these people.
00:36:53.000 Top Polish senator who says, any Poles in the world, if you hear any lies about how Poland perpetrated the Holocaust, about how Poland was anti Semitic, you report it to a diplomat, you report it to a consulate.
00:37:05.000 And I just love that.
00:37:07.000 That's the kind of attitude that we need.
00:37:09.000 Because you understand that so much of what goes on in this country, so many of the mistakes that we've made, so many of the errors we've made, so many of the pillars we've removed.
00:37:18.000 From the foundations of our country has been in response to this historical guilt, which is, of course, white people have to atone for their sins.
00:37:27.000 Colonialism, we stole our land from Native Americans, slavery, and the Holocaust, and discrimination and Jim Crow.
00:37:35.000 And that is why we can never have our own nations.
00:37:38.000 That is why we can never have our own countries.
00:37:40.000 We can never choose the way things go.
00:37:42.000 We can never get too proud of our ancestors or our history because, of course, they were flawed.
00:37:47.000 They were deeply flawed, and we've made our mistakes too.
00:37:50.000 And so here is a country, a strong country.
00:37:53.000 Christian country, strong Christian country, who is punching back and saying, We will not feel guilty.
00:38:00.000 We will not feel bad about things we were responsible for.
00:38:02.000 And even then, we will not allow you to guilt us into surrendering our country.
00:38:07.000 We won't let you guilt us into giving up our borders, giving up what it means to be Polish, guilt us into refusing to have pride in our country like so much of the West has done.
00:38:18.000 You know, and you see this in France.
00:38:19.000 This happened in the French presidential election where Marine Le Pen.
00:38:24.000 I think she said something to the effect that the Vichy regime in France wasn't all that bad, or something to that effect, that the French were not responsible for what happened during the Nazi occupation, something to that effect.
00:38:35.000 And she got shamed like you wouldn't believe.
00:38:38.000 In many ways, people say this could have cost her the election because the media came after her, and all of Europe came after her and said, Oh, what?
00:38:44.000 You justify this?
00:38:45.000 You justify that?
00:38:46.000 But she simply said, We love our country.
00:38:49.000 We don't want to talk about those things.
00:38:51.000 We love our country.
00:38:52.000 We want to talk about the good things that happen in our country, the great character of our country.
00:38:56.000 And not be shamed for an occupation, not be shamed for the sins that every other country has committed.
00:39:01.000 And that's the kind of mentality that we need.
00:39:03.000 That's the kind of mentality that we need in this country when we see all kinds of things, whether it's tragedies in other countries, tragedies in our own country, whether it's darker periods in our history.
00:39:13.000 I think the one thing that unites conservatives and even right leaning people towards the center, even in the left, is this idea that we're tired of apologizing.
00:39:22.000 We're tired of being ashamed for our country.
00:39:25.000 You have people that are coming up in the school system, and I just came out of the school system.
00:39:29.000 And what do we learn in our history classes?
00:39:31.000 Instead of learning about how we created the greatest, most Free, most prosperous, most wealthy, most successful country in the history of the world, we hear about how, well, we did some bad things too.
00:39:41.000 We did things that every other people in every other time did as well.
00:39:46.000 But it was especially bad for us.
00:39:49.000 U.S. history in high school and middle school was the genocide of the Native Americans and six months of slavery, and then we didn't do enough about the Holocaust, and then segregation, and then 9 11.
00:40:01.000 And that's your U.S. history.
00:40:03.000 Do we learn about the Constitution?
00:40:05.000 Do we learn about the Articles of Confederation?
00:40:07.000 Do we learn about The settlement of the country and, you know, these different things going on in the Northeast and in the South.
00:40:13.000 And do we learn about the rich culture?
00:40:15.000 Do we learn about the transcendentalists, the art, the literature, the music, Gershwin?
00:40:20.000 I mean, do we learn about any of that?
00:40:22.000 No, of course not.
00:40:23.000 It's always the same old, you should be ashamed.
00:40:26.000 And I think people are tired of it.
00:40:27.000 I think that's what Donald Trump was all about in his election.
00:40:30.000 I think it was more a feeling about not necessarily making America great again, but taking pride in our greatness again.
00:40:36.000 So that's the mood.
00:40:38.000 That's the white pill that we're on today.
00:40:39.000 It's not about hate.
00:40:41.000 It's not about bigotry.
00:40:42.000 It's not about pushing other people down.
00:40:43.000 It's about lifting ourselves up.
00:40:45.000 We have to love who we are.
00:40:47.000 We have to love where we were born, love our home.
00:40:50.000 And there's been issues in the past, but everybody has issues.
00:40:52.000 And so shut up about them.
00:40:54.000 Enough about that.
00:40:55.000 Let's talk about the moon landing.
00:40:57.000 Let's talk about the great things the country has done for the world.
00:41:00.000 And for us, it surely outweighs the bad.
00:41:01.000 But those are all our topics today.
00:41:04.000 That's all the news.
00:41:05.000 It's been a pretty slow news week.
00:41:06.000 And of course, I'll be in CPAC for the rest.
00:41:09.000 I'll be there from Wednesday to Sunday.
00:41:11.000 So no show tomorrow, no show Thursday, no show Friday, unfortunately.
00:41:15.000 We'll be back next Monday after CPAC with a full report.
00:41:18.000 You can catch me, though.
00:41:19.000 You can catch me on Periscope at NickJFluentis and Twitter at NickJFluentis if you want to stay updated on my whereabouts, my adventures.
00:41:28.000 I'll be seeing Ben Shapiro there.
00:41:29.000 I'll be seeing Cassie Dillon.
00:41:32.000 Donald Trump will be speaking there, so I'll get to see him and some others.
00:41:35.000 So it should be a good time.
00:41:36.000 But let's get into the Super Chats.
00:41:38.000 Let's see what the Patricians are saying today.
00:41:41.000 What are our big guys in the Super Chat saying to us today?
00:41:46.000 Dominic Liberator says, Watch the knife in Chicago.
00:41:49.000 Two and a half inch blade length max.
00:41:51.000 Yeah, I saw that.
00:41:53.000 I saw that.
00:41:54.000 I was pissed because I was getting ready to take my knife out the other day, you know, for a stroll.
00:41:59.000 And then I saw the law and I was like, What?
00:42:03.000 You can't have a knife that's bigger than two and a half inches.
00:42:05.000 And that big boy's bigger than two and a half.
00:42:07.000 So I'll have to downgrade to a tinier knife, unfortunately.
00:42:11.000 Or I'll just have to go with something a little bit more powerful.
00:42:14.000 Who knows?
00:42:16.000 White shirt says, dab on the gun controllers, dab on the gun controllers, dab on the Syrian refugees, dab on the people in Gouda, dab on them.
00:42:28.000 We're going to focus on our own country.
00:42:30.000 We're going to focus on our own people, and we're going to dab while we do it.
00:42:33.000 You know, not to say that it's not sad, not to say that there's not sadness in the world, but I'm sorry.
00:42:39.000 Sad kids doesn't make me want to give up my Second Amendment.
00:42:42.000 Sad kids doesn't convince me that the government should be the only institution in the country that has.
00:42:48.000 That has the means to exercise force.
00:42:51.000 I'm sorry.
00:42:52.000 You can cry all you want, but that will never convince me that I should not have the means to defend my life and my property.
00:42:59.000 I don't think that's an argument.
00:43:01.000 And you can have all the crying kids in the world that you want in Syria.
00:43:04.000 That's not going to convince me that we need another $6 trillion war in the Middle East so that Syria can secure their land claims in the Golan Heights so they could get the natural gas and oil there or so that they can secure the greater realm and pave the way for a better Israel, a better, more safe, a greater Israel.
00:43:25.000 We should not go to war so we could pave the way for that.
00:43:29.000 Sarah Highlander, excellent job last night.
00:43:31.000 Thank you.
00:43:32.000 Will you be at CPAC?
00:43:34.000 I will be at CPAC.
00:43:35.000 I'll be there.
00:43:36.000 And we'll do a little meetup on Thursday.
00:43:38.000 So after Ben Shapiro gets through, I think we'll do a meetup somewhere in the convention after that.
00:43:45.000 So it should be, I think he's scheduled to speak at like 2 30 or 3 30.
00:43:49.000 So the meetup should be Thursday, somewhere around 4 35.
00:43:53.000 And I'll come out with the details more towards the convention.
00:43:57.000 If you want to get the details, I'll put the Discord up in the live chat.
00:44:03.000 And there's a little text channel.
00:44:05.000 That'll be updated on my whereabouts there.
00:44:09.000 So, there's a CPAC text channel in the Discord if you want to jump in there.
00:44:14.000 And I'll post a link right now.
00:44:16.000 Then you can see where I will be at CPAC and where I'm organizing the meetup at.
00:44:21.000 It should be a good time.
00:44:22.000 I'm expecting to see all kinds of people from Boston that I used to hang out with when I was in school and when I was in Young Americans for Liberty and all that.
00:44:30.000 And all kinds of people that are in the Discord, all kinds of people that watch the show.
00:44:34.000 So, it should be a fun time.
00:44:36.000 Iron Father with a couple of shekels.
00:44:38.000 Thank you, my guy.
00:44:39.000 Spooky Ghost says, Nick, my man, how can I get out of the metapolitical and into the political?
00:44:46.000 Where do I start?
00:44:47.000 Great.
00:44:47.000 Excellent question.
00:44:49.000 Excellent question.
00:44:50.000 Your county GOP.
00:44:51.000 That's how you do it.
00:44:53.000 Call up your county GOP, and it's a little bit difficult.
00:44:56.000 It's deliberately difficult to find out information about it.
00:44:59.000 But if you look it up, I think it's on the GOP website.
00:45:02.000 Or you could just look up whatever your county is.
00:45:04.000 I'm, you know, So, I live in or near Chicago, so it's Cook County, is where Chicago is.
00:45:10.000 It would be Cook County GOP, and you should be able to find the chairman of the GOP that's in your county and the committee and send them an email, call them up on the phone if they have one, and say, When's the next meeting?
00:45:22.000 Where is it?
00:45:23.000 How can I get involved?
00:45:24.000 And if it's a smaller county or if it's a county that isn't Chicago, I guess, they should be pretty quick to respond.
00:45:29.000 They like to get the young people out there.
00:45:31.000 And if not, just be persistent, find out where they are.
00:45:34.000 Look it up on Facebook or on Twitter or whatever, and get out to your county GOP meetings.
00:45:39.000 And just start showing up.
00:45:42.000 And they should show you the ropes from there.
00:45:43.000 It's pretty different, I think, the processes from county to county, but that's how you get involved at the county level.
00:45:48.000 And if you don't want to get involved in party politics, then jump on a campaign.
00:45:52.000 Look at who's running in your district or near your district.
00:45:55.000 For example, I campaigned for Nealon last year in Wisconsin, which is two hours away.
00:46:00.000 But I found a candidate who's running and find out how you could get a part of that.
00:46:04.000 Go to their website, sign up.
00:46:06.000 There's usually a way where it says, get involved.
00:46:09.000 What's your email?
00:46:10.000 Do you want to make calls?
00:46:10.000 What do you want to do?
00:46:11.000 Do you want to.
00:46:12.000 Do door knockers or something like that.
00:46:14.000 And so get involved in a campaign.
00:46:16.000 But I think those are the only two, these are the two big forms of activism that I encourage that I give the knife, the Nick the Knife seal of approval.
00:46:27.000 The knife seal of approval is county GOP and campaigns.
00:46:31.000 Anything else wasteful, anything else unproductive, with few exceptions.
00:46:36.000 If you can show me how they're productive, I'll say maybe.
00:46:39.000 But for the most part, the two most productive things you can do at this moment in time join the county GOP.
00:46:45.000 Or, you know, whatever the local GOP is, the state GOP, get involved at some level or get on a campaign.
00:46:51.000 Anything else or think tank, you know, but get in the institutions.
00:46:54.000 Anything else is masturbatory and not useful.
00:47:01.000 Little Big Chemist says, Is it wrong to want to move to another country like Poland or Japan, or do we stick it out here, even as terrible as it is, socially speaking?
00:47:10.000 You have to stay here.
00:47:12.000 Have to stay here.
00:47:13.000 You can't bail.
00:47:14.000 Can't jump ship.
00:47:17.000 You know, that's maybe the impulse of people, and I understand it because this country is a clown country.
00:47:22.000 Now, it's not a serious country in many ways.
00:47:24.000 You look at what's on television, you look at our politicians, but this is our home.
00:47:29.000 And what kind of men would we be if we deserted our home?
00:47:32.000 We deserted our people.
00:47:33.000 We deserted our settlement that we've made here, this little place we've carved out for ourselves.
00:47:37.000 We have to stay and fight.
00:47:39.000 We have to stay and fight and make sure this is a great country for the next generation.
00:47:43.000 Can't bail.
00:47:45.000 And look at what happened in Europe, where Eastern Europe was taken over by Muslims and Spain was taken over by Muslims.
00:47:52.000 And if not for the siege at Vienna in 1683, if not for the Poles that came riding down from the mountains, who knows what could have happened if Vienna fell?
00:48:00.000 Or in 1529, when Vienna came under siege.
00:48:04.000 Who knows what could have happened if we didn't fight for our homes, if the people in Spain or in Sicily or in the west of France or in Eastern Europe, if they didn't stay and fight for their countries?
00:48:14.000 Would Spain be a Muslim country?
00:48:18.000 It's moving that way now, but would it be now?
00:48:20.000 Who knows?
00:48:20.000 So we have to stay and fight.
00:48:23.000 Nicholas says, hey, that's my name.
00:48:25.000 Nicholas says, what kind of software do you use in order to make your green screen filters show up on the live stream?
00:48:31.000 I'm looking to start a similar channel to yours.
00:48:33.000 There's only room for one Nicholas America First theme show on the net.
00:48:39.000 But it wouldn't really make much sense for me to help the competition.
00:48:43.000 Another Nick watches this show like I do, but I use OBS.
00:48:47.000 OBS is the way to go, open broadcasting system, I think it's called, open broadcasting, whatever.
00:48:53.000 But OBS is the way to do it.
00:48:55.000 And you can look it up.
00:48:57.000 It's very easy to do the green screen.
00:48:58.000 You just got to go into filters, and you'll have to, if you're familiar with OBS, you go into filters, you go into chroma key, and it sets it up for you.
00:49:06.000 But there's all kinds of tutorials on that.
00:49:09.000 But yeah, OBS is the way to go.
00:49:11.000 Or Streamlabs is really good as well.
00:49:12.000 I'll be transferring over to there once I get back from CPAC.
00:49:17.000 And VGEDRR says, joining in with the chorus, extremely strong, powerful show yesterday.
00:49:24.000 Great job.
00:49:25.000 Thank you, my guy.
00:49:26.000 Thank you.
00:49:27.000 And somebody posted up a super chat, which is telling me not to read it.
00:49:33.000 That's kind of like reverse psychology, I guess.
00:49:36.000 But it looks like we've exhausted our super chats.
00:49:39.000 So we'll have to just hang out in our live chat and we'll see what our.
00:49:43.000 The masses saying, what are the rest of the masses saying?
00:49:46.000 We got some Nick the Knives in there.
00:49:49.000 What else?
00:49:50.000 We basically live in an ethnostate if you live outside of the big cities, says Pat Richard.
00:49:54.000 Well, it is homogeneous outside of the big cities, more so than in the big cities, right?
00:50:00.000 But that's subject to change pretty soon.
00:50:04.000 What else?
00:50:04.000 White pill, in case of nuclear war, city cucks will be first to be hit.
00:50:08.000 Oh, well, that's one way to look at it.
00:50:10.000 I don't know if anybody wants that.
00:50:12.000 Thing is, though, you have to realize this.
00:50:14.000 I looked into this actually.
00:50:16.000 Cities would be hit, but also the nuclear silos would be hit.
00:50:20.000 And the military installations and some of the more strategically important regions would be hit as well.
00:50:26.000 And so you would think that.
00:50:27.000 I remember when I was in Boston, I was looking up what would happen if there were a nuclear strike.
00:50:31.000 Would I be hit?
00:50:32.000 Would I be hit in Boston?
00:50:33.000 Would I have to go to a shelter?
00:50:34.000 And I was actually looking at the map of the most likely places to get hit.
00:50:37.000 And there were a number of places in the middle of the country where there's not a lot of major cities, in the south, in the west, where there's military infrastructure, where there's nuclear infrastructure.
00:50:48.000 And so they'll hit there as well.
00:50:50.000 So, don't get your hopes up.
00:50:54.000 And the person, the enthusiast says, Are you going to periscope your confrontation with Ben?
00:51:00.000 I don't think I am going to confront Ben.
00:51:02.000 I might.
00:51:03.000 Thing is, with a confrontation like that, is when it's me asking a question at his event, he has all the leverage.
00:51:10.000 He controls the framing, he controls how long the confrontation lasts.
00:51:15.000 The people that are there are on his side.
00:51:19.000 And that doesn't lend itself to a successful confrontation.
00:51:22.000 It's already asymmetrical in that he's older.
00:51:25.000 And he's got a bigger following, so it's already asymmetrical.
00:51:27.000 And then, if I'm showing up at his event with his fans and he's got the microphone and he's in control, it doesn't lend itself to a very successful first encounter.
00:51:37.000 And James Alsop tried this.
00:51:39.000 He went to an event by him in Washington where he went up and he challenged Charlie Kirk.
00:51:45.000 And it went terribly.
00:51:46.000 It went terribly for him because we went up there, and what you're supposed to do in a setting like that is ask a question.
00:51:53.000 But he went up there and he tried to debate him.
00:51:55.000 And it just looked.
00:51:56.000 Not good.
00:51:57.000 It looked like he was trying to make his own point instead of asking a question.
00:52:01.000 It didn't really work so well.
00:52:03.000 And so I've never been a big fan of that idea.
00:52:06.000 Any confrontation with Ben, if it's going to be successful, it has to be one on one.
00:52:10.000 It has to be a debate.
00:52:11.000 It has to be about a certain topic.
00:52:14.000 But anything else, I think, is just a bad look.
00:52:16.000 But I might do it.
00:52:17.000 I might call him out.
00:52:18.000 I'll have to think about it a little bit.
00:52:20.000 Because if I could go in with a pretty solid kill shot, I think it would be solid.
00:52:28.000 Nick, the black guy on Worski keeps complaining about the knife.
00:52:31.000 Where is he complaining about the knife?
00:52:33.000 What are you talking about?
00:52:34.000 On Gab or where?
00:52:37.000 Because I know he's not on Twitter anymore.
00:52:40.000 At least Thought Patrol Cassie Dillon.
00:52:42.000 Of course, I'll be at the Lone Conservative booth.
00:52:45.000 I'll be calling her out and we'll see what happens.
00:52:48.000 I know the thing is, you could probably, you know how you could cut the tension between me and Cassie?
00:52:54.000 Do you know how you could cut the tension with a knife?
00:52:58.000 Do you know what you could cut the tension with?
00:53:00.000 With a knife.
00:53:01.000 So, no, that is not a threat.
00:53:05.000 I got banned from Twitter because I posted a minion meme and she said that was a death threat.
00:53:08.000 That's not a threat.
00:53:10.000 But there would be a lot of tension, I think, between me and Cassie because she definitely wanted something from me.
00:53:16.000 I think she definitely wanted me to like her in a certain way.
00:53:20.000 She was always looking at me with these eyes.
00:53:23.000 There was like these inviting eyes.
00:53:25.000 She was giving me the bedroom eyes, as they say, all the time.
00:53:28.000 And, uh, So we'll see.
00:53:30.000 It's been a long time since I've seen her.
00:53:33.000 When was the last time I saw her?
00:53:35.000 Last time I saw her was the Christmas party in Western Mass back in early December last year.
00:53:44.000 And then when I was debating Will Nardi on DACA, I talked to her on the phone for a little while.
00:53:48.000 He put her on speakerphone.
00:53:51.000 So we'll see.
00:53:52.000 It'll be interesting.
00:53:53.000 It'll be funny to see her again.
00:53:54.000 I can't wait.
00:53:55.000 I can't wait for the nuclear bans, the nuclear thought patrol that will occur.
00:54:01.000 And let's see, what else?
00:54:03.000 What else do we have?
00:54:04.000 What else do we have?
00:54:06.000 Nick, you better read this, you cracker.
00:54:08.000 Hey, that's rude.
00:54:10.000 I'm coming for you, says Jordan Brown.
00:54:12.000 Is that a threat?
00:54:14.000 Is that the warrior gene?
00:54:18.000 What else?
00:54:20.000 Nick, you need to stop advocating for anarcho-leftist bullshit.
00:54:24.000 I mean, of course, as R.C. Cola said, you're basically a leftist.
00:54:27.000 Yeah, I love that.
00:54:28.000 I love when he kept saying anarcho-leftist bullshit, which is like.
00:54:34.000 Just stupid.
00:54:35.000 It's just so low IQ.
00:54:36.000 It's so low brow.
00:54:39.000 What we're advocating for is not anarchistic.
00:54:41.000 It's not left wing.
00:54:43.000 It's not bullshit.
00:54:45.000 It's not left wing because it's traditional.
00:54:48.000 It's hierarchical.
00:54:49.000 It's authoritarian.
00:54:51.000 It's for order, fundamentally.
00:54:53.000 And if you're for order, you're a conservative.
00:54:57.000 It's not anarchic because it's for order.
00:54:59.000 If you want anarchy, you would want entropy.
00:55:02.000 You would want instability.
00:55:03.000 You would want difference, which is what civic nationalists want.
00:55:06.000 So it's just, you know, very, very not smart.
00:55:11.000 Get on Warski.
00:55:13.000 I don't know.
00:55:13.000 If he invites me, I'll jump on.
00:55:15.000 If JF or Andy invites me, I'll jump on.
00:55:17.000 But I don't like just cutting in on their things.
00:55:21.000 Get one of your listeners to confront little Ben.
00:55:23.000 I may do that.
00:55:24.000 What else?
00:55:25.000 Nick, didn't the first Americans abandon their country?
00:55:29.000 No.
00:55:30.000 The first Americans settled this country as part of the United Kingdom or as a part of Great Britain.
00:55:30.000 No.
00:55:37.000 If you're talking about the first settlers that came over here, they came over here carrying the banner of the country that they left, and they were a colony.
00:55:45.000 And then the founders, who were all born in the United States, I think they were all born in the United States, or they were all born in North America as opposed to.
00:55:53.000 On the island, as opposed to in Great Britain, as opposed to in England, this was their home.
00:55:59.000 So it's not like they left England to go start up their own country.
00:56:04.000 They were born on this continent, they were born on this land in this different culture, this different culture that was arising across the Atlantic Ocean.
00:56:16.000 So they didn't abandon their country, they started their own country.
00:56:19.000 Abandoning your country is going from an established country that you were born in to another existing country.
00:56:25.000 They didn't do that.
00:56:26.000 They started their own country to coincide with, I guess, a new ethnicity, a new nation.
00:56:32.000 And let's see, what else, what else, what else?
00:56:38.000 RC Cola, Nick, you just conceded that ethnic nationalism leads to genocide.
00:56:41.000 Yeah, right?
00:56:42.000 What a joke.
00:56:44.000 Do you guys have fidget spinners?
00:56:45.000 I do.
00:56:47.000 I have it.
00:56:48.000 Just get on Worski anyway.
00:56:49.000 I don't know, we'll see.
00:56:51.000 And another super chat.
00:56:52.000 Doesn't RC realize he admitted that everyone used to be an ethno nationalist?
00:56:57.000 Yeah, right, basically.
00:56:59.000 Well, and the best part was that he said, what did he say?
00:57:02.000 He said, difference causes conflict.
00:57:04.000 Like, how do you, in the same breath, say difference causes conflict, and that bolsters my argument for a nation that does not accommodate difference, right?
00:57:16.000 Difference causes conflict, and therefore it doesn't matter if you have different people living in the same country.
00:57:22.000 We want different religious groups, different ethnicities, different races, but yet difference causes conflict, and that helps your argument.
00:57:30.000 If you're trying to make the argument that, Ethnic nationalism causes conflict, but you're saying difference causes conflict, and you want a nation that ignores difference?
00:57:40.000 What?
00:57:41.000 What?
00:57:42.000 It's insane.
00:57:43.000 It doesn't make any sense, folks.
00:57:46.000 But maybe I'm in the KKK for saying that.
00:57:48.000 Maybe I'm in the KKK for noticing.
00:57:53.000 How did you rate Black Hannity's debate skills to one of Chamberlain's?
00:57:57.000 I think they're pretty much equal.
00:57:59.000 I mean, they're both equally unlikable.
00:58:01.000 They're both equally condescending and rude.
00:58:03.000 They're both equally.
00:58:05.000 Trapped by their highly academic, like nerd debate format, which doesn't work.
00:58:11.000 You know, those kinds of skill sets only thrive in a controlled academic setting where you have people that have no balls.
00:58:19.000 People go on debate team when they have no balls, when they want to be in a setting where you have these technical things and these semantic things.
00:58:26.000 That's why they stray away from the blood sports because you get into a real arena where you have to explain yourself.
00:58:31.000 And then suddenly it doesn't matter what a judge is keeping score out.
00:58:35.000 Well, you got these points because you made this argument, but you have to convince people.
00:58:39.000 And so it's, uh, he's pretty much on par with Will Chamberlain.
00:58:42.000 Unlikable, rude, nasty guy, just dumb arguments that only make sense when you're keeping score in an academic debate setting, but not if you're trying to convince people of what is true and what isn't.
00:58:54.000 So, pretty much the same.
00:58:56.000 Thomas Howard says civic nationalists are partially correct.
00:59:01.000 No cucked white liberal socialist.
00:59:04.000 Will Wheaton's in the white Wakanda.
00:59:07.000 Okay, this was difficult to read because of all the Hawaii, which I hate that meme.
00:59:12.000 It's so dumb to me, but yeah, I guess that's true.
00:59:18.000 Would you consider doing an interview with Vox Day?
00:59:21.000 Yeah, sure.
00:59:22.000 Yeah, I like Vox.
00:59:24.000 Who are your top philosophers?
00:59:27.000 Evola, Nietzsche, Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, Plato.
00:59:36.000 Who else?
00:59:37.000 Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseau.
00:59:42.000 Trying to think who else?
00:59:44.000 St. Augustine.
00:59:45.000 These are probably my top philosophers.
00:59:48.000 And of course, there's others, and Kant is a good one.
00:59:50.000 But there are others that I. Roger Scruton, hands down, one of the best modern ones.
00:59:54.000 Those are probably my top guys.
00:59:56.000 Those are probably my top philosophers.
00:59:58.000 Spangler, too.
01:00:00.000 Nick, when we get closer to the election, will you have America First Deli get on to speak about elections in our regions?
01:00:05.000 Have a couple really big races here in North Dakota.
01:00:07.000 Yeah, we'll explore that as the election season heats up.
01:00:10.000 There's a lot coming, new content with that once we get finished with CPAC.
01:00:17.000 Egyptians are basically black, though, right?
01:00:19.000 No, they're effectively black, right?
01:00:20.000 Like Maxwell said.
01:00:22.000 Egyptians and Moors are effectively black.
01:00:25.000 Uh, no, wrong, that's not true.
01:00:30.000 That is just anthropologically a losing argument.
01:00:33.000 You're making the We Was Kang's argument.
01:00:36.000 Nick, what's a good book about American identity?
01:00:39.000 I'm interested in what makes us unique from Europeans.
01:00:43.000 I'll show you a really good book and I'll try and scoot over here.
01:00:47.000 That's the first time I left the chair, I think, since doing the show.
01:00:51.000 But the best book on American identity that I can recommend is Who Are We? By Samuel Huntington.
01:00:59.000 This is the best thing that you can read.
01:01:01.000 Who Are We by Samuel Huntington?
01:01:03.000 The challenges to Americans' national identity.
01:01:06.000 And he also wrote Clash of Civilizations, which is a great work in and of itself, but this is an underrated one.
01:01:14.000 And yeah, it talks about let's see, let me get to the what do you call it? The contents.
01:01:22.000 It talks about the issues of identity, like salience and the substance of American identity.
01:01:28.000 What is American identity?
01:01:30.000 What are the challenges to American identity?
01:01:32.000 How are we going to renew American identity?
01:01:34.000 And, you know, I don't necessarily agree with the conclusions he reaches in this book.
01:01:39.000 Sam Huntington is a liberal who says he's essentially a civic nationalist.
01:01:43.000 He says we can all come together and accept the creed and accept the culture.
01:01:47.000 And I disagree with that.
01:01:48.000 I think he would change his ideas if he saw the world today.
01:01:53.000 But definitely a good primer on the American identity question.
01:01:59.000 And the enthusiast says, LOL, I literally just ordered that book because it is on your website.
01:02:03.000 It's coming on Thursday.
01:02:04.000 Great.
01:02:05.000 It's an excellent book.
01:02:06.000 And everybody check out my book list.
01:02:07.000 There's all kinds of great books on that list that will inform you about who we are, where we're going.
01:02:13.000 Very solid stuff.
01:02:15.000 America is dead, Nick says.
01:02:17.000 Solomon, six million.
01:02:19.000 Oh, well, this is news to me.
01:02:21.000 Very interesting.
01:02:22.000 I love how people say America is dead and they're willing to move on.
01:02:26.000 The white race isn't looking so hot.
01:02:27.000 Are we going to give up on that one?
01:02:29.000 You know?
01:02:30.000 So, if you're not interested in America, why are you watching America First?
01:02:33.000 If you're not interested in salvaging our country, why do you live here still?
01:02:39.000 Thanks again, my man.
01:02:40.000 I'll check it out.
01:02:41.000 No problemo.
01:02:43.000 You and Styx basically have the same politics.
01:02:46.000 That's basically incorrect if you know the first thing about either of us.
01:02:51.000 You need to update your book list, Nick.
01:02:53.000 No, I don't.
01:02:54.000 No, the book list doesn't change.
01:02:56.000 These are good primers for people.
01:02:58.000 What do you think?
01:02:59.000 I like rotate in my seminal classics, seminal favorites?
01:03:05.000 No way.
01:03:06.000 G.K. Chesterton is a meme.
01:03:07.000 Incorrect.
01:03:08.000 G.K. Chesterton is magnificent.
01:03:12.000 Nick is like a clean cut version of Styx.
01:03:14.000 Yeah, also, except I'm not an occultist.
01:03:16.000 I'm not a liberal.
01:03:17.000 I'm not a civic now.
01:03:19.000 Except for all the striking ideological differences, we also look different.
01:03:22.000 Yeah.
01:03:25.000 What else?
01:03:25.000 I have a word doc with all the NJF book and movie recommendations.
01:03:29.000 Wow.
01:03:30.000 That's very nice.
01:03:31.000 You'll have to share.
01:03:33.000 Nick is cucked on the Holocaust issue.
01:03:35.000 He is afraid.
01:03:36.000 And of course, we have the 250 IQ people coming on in, or the sub 250 IQ people who do not belong on the show.
01:03:45.000 We've talked pretty extensively about that topic.
01:03:47.000 I think people don't really know my position on that.
01:03:52.000 Nick, did you see Jared Holt retweet the Reagan Battalion?
01:03:55.000 I did not, but that's pretty telling, is it not?
01:03:58.000 Take business cards to CPAC.
01:04:00.000 Of course.
01:04:04.000 Read anything by Nicholas Taleb.
01:04:05.000 I have not, but he's on my book list.
01:04:08.000 I have a pretty, I have like a 10 page book list, and I got a couple of his books on there.
01:04:14.000 Nick, which books contributed the most to your knowledge in foreign policy and relations?
01:04:18.000 Probably.
01:04:20.000 Clash of Civilizations by Sam Huntington.
01:04:23.000 World Order by Henry Kissinger.
01:04:25.000 Those are probably the two big ones.
01:04:28.000 Coming Anarchy by Robert Kaplan.
01:04:31.000 The Reluctant Sheriff by Richard Haas.
01:04:33.000 That's a short one, but I think kind of informative.
01:04:38.000 What else?
01:04:39.000 What else is a good primer?
01:04:40.000 I also took a class on international relations in college, or a couple, so that was a big thing as well.
01:04:50.000 And we'll take one more, and then we got to go.
01:04:52.000 Brandon Thorpe says, Senpai noticed me.
01:04:55.000 Well, you are noticed.
01:04:57.000 We'll take one more.
01:04:58.000 Nick, what do you think about cannabis?
01:05:00.000 Hate it!
01:05:01.000 Cannabis corrupts the mind, corrupts the soul, corrupts the body.
01:05:05.000 I'm not a doctor, but I hear from doctors that it leads to long term brain damage, memory loss, things of that nature.
01:05:15.000 And look, even if it didn't, it changes your personality.
01:05:18.000 I know people that are addicted to cannabis, that are addicted to marijuana, smoke it every day or pretty frequently, and it changes people.
01:05:25.000 It takes people.
01:05:26.000 It takes people's soul.
01:05:27.000 It takes their drive.
01:05:28.000 It takes the fire out of their belly.
01:05:30.000 It numbs them to the world.
01:05:32.000 It's self medicating, and I'm against all of that.
01:05:35.000 But I think that's the last question.
01:05:37.000 We're past.
01:05:38.000 We're like 8.05 here.
01:05:39.000 So that's going to be it for us here on the show tonight.
01:05:42.000 Remember, we're not going to be here tomorrow, Thursday, or Friday.
01:05:45.000 I'll be at CPAC.
01:05:46.000 So you can catch me on Periscope at Nick J. Fuentes or Twitter at Nick J. Fuentes for my live streams about that.
01:05:52.000 I'll be covering it live.
01:05:53.000 I'll be doing commentary.
01:05:55.000 I'll be hanging out with the boys.
01:05:57.000 I'll be periscoping that.
01:05:58.000 So I'll be doing content every day.
01:06:00.000 Even though there'll be no show, there will be plenty of content throughout the week.
01:06:03.000 You never take a day off.
01:06:04.000 Never take a day off here.
01:06:06.000 But that's going to do it for us here tonight.

01:07:25.000 America first.
01:07:29.000 The American people will come first once again.
01:07:34.000 With respect to respect.
