00:00:07.000My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:12.000A great President's Day episode of the show tonight.
00:00:16.000Unfortunately, we are going to have to cut it a little bit short because there is tonight a big debate between myself and R.C. Maxwell, otherwise known as Black Hannity, on the Baked Alaska show on YouTube.
00:00:31.000So there is major blood sports later this evening.
00:00:35.000Right after the show, I think we're going to have to cut it maybe 10 minutes early so I can get myself situated for the debate, which is supposed to start at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central.
00:00:46.000And it'll be me battling it out with R.C. Maxwell, whose pseudonym I guess that he goes by, just Black Hannity.
00:00:54.000And the topic tonight on the Baked Alaska show is ethnic nationalism.
00:01:48.000So happy President's Day to everybody.
00:01:51.000Still, technically, you may not know this, but according to the U.S. government, it's still technically called as the federal holiday, Washington's birthday.
00:02:01.000And so technically, President's Day was supposed to commemorate George Washington's birthday, but I guess they mixed it in with all the other guys, with Lincoln and Jefferson and Donald Trump and Jack Kennedy and all the rest.
00:02:20.000I think some people get work off, and that's great.
00:02:24.000But we do commemorate today George Washington and all the presidents since.
00:02:28.000It's worth noting today, just a little fun trivia fact while we're talking about President's Day, that the Constitution, when they talk about the office of the executive, when they talk about the president, the Article 2 of the Constitution, which lays out the enumerated powers for the president, it's actually one of the shortest articles in the Constitution, which kind of tells you something.
00:02:48.000President is not supposed to have that much power.
00:02:51.000At least that's how it was intended before.
00:02:53.000I think on this President's Day, it's a good opportunity to reflect on what the role of the president should be in the country.
00:03:22.000I think a better example is the AFL CIO and the unions, and maybe some of the other major donors.
00:03:29.000But I look at the legislature, and this is obviously corrupted.
00:03:32.000I look at the judiciary, which has been completely infiltrated and used as an instrument for partisan and political interest.
00:03:39.000Whereas before, the judiciary had kind of this like sanctity, there was kind of this respect to it that wasn't afforded to the other branches of government.
00:03:47.000Lately, with the latest Supreme Court rulings, I'm talking about the Obamacare ruling on the individual mandate.
00:03:54.000I mean, they just invent things in the Constitution that aren't there, you know, regardless of whether you agreed with the rulings or not.
00:04:00.000In the case of the federal judiciary, we've seen with the district judges, with some of the ones that Donald Trump has had to contend with, with his authority on immigration, his authority on other things.
00:04:42.000Certainly, Spengler predicted that Western civilization would have to see a new Caesarism.
00:04:48.000We would have to see the rise of patriotic and loyal to the country nationalistic leaders that are able to rein in the power of the legislator, which has been bought by the moneyed interests and other branches of power, the bureaucracies, the Courts and everything else, and we'll see.
00:05:04.000Certainly, there is precedent, I think.
00:05:06.000You look at Abraham Lincoln, who brought the country back together against the will of the judiciary, against the will of the states.
00:05:12.000You look at Andrew Jackson, who disobeyed the courts, and Franklin D. Roosevelt did similar things during World War II.
00:05:20.000You have to wonder is it time now for the executive to pump the brakes a little bit for a president to reach in?
00:05:27.000I think there are some legitimate concerns about that.
00:05:30.000People's concerns are that, well, if the other party gets in power and You leave for them a very big and expansive and large executive branch, well, then they can abuse it as well.
00:05:41.000But I don't see how it gets any worse, folks.
00:05:43.000I don't see how it gets any worse than this, right?
00:05:46.000I mean, Donald Trump, if he were to expand the size and scope of the executive, if he were to use the bully pulpit effectively to rein in the other two branches, would that be the end of the world?
00:05:57.000Would the next president be so devastating?
00:06:01.000I think whoever would succeed President Trump in the absence of increased action and intervention.
00:06:09.000Would be worse than if we did it otherwise.
00:06:12.000But I think it is a good opportunity to reflect on what the president is, why that makes this country unique, the tradition of this office, the origins of this office, how it was founded, how it was written in the Constitution, and where it's going in the future.
00:06:26.000Certainly, Donald Trump has made us think long and hard about it, not just about the office, but also about elections, what it means to be president.
00:06:33.000And so it's one of these days where you can sit back and ask some of these questions.
00:07:18.000But there are major, major protests, three of them planned in the spring.
00:07:24.000So there's going to be a big protest on March 14th, where I guess at 10 a.m., students are supposed to leave the school and hang out for 17 minutes in recognition of the 17 people that died.
00:07:36.000There'll be another mass protest on March 24th, which I believe is Washington, D.C.
00:07:41.000And then there's going to be another mass protest on April 20th to commemorate.
00:07:47.000I guess it's 20 years this April 20th.
00:07:51.000And so there'll be another mass protest then.
00:07:53.000And the pressure on the Congress, the pressure on the president is nothing like we've seen since Sandy Hook, really, which was surprising to me because we've seen several mass shootings since Sandy Hook or even since Virginia Tech or Columbine.
00:08:06.000I mean, of course, the best example is the Pulse nightclub shooting.
00:08:10.000But we didn't see, I don't think, maybe it's just my memory, but I don't recall this much activism as with the last one.
00:09:10.000And today, a lot of the students from the school, a lot of the students from Parkland, Florida, were out rallying and they're on television and they're giggling and they're talking about how, you know, Justin Bieber noticed us.
00:09:21.000And it's just downright sickening to me.
00:09:25.000More than any other one, the way that they're using children as political props, the way that they're putting these 14 and 15 year olds out there.
00:09:32.000And I don't think at any other time were the kids more phony.
00:09:36.000Maybe the dad in the case of Sandy Hook, where he was like laughing hysterically and then he gets up and he's like, oh, okay, I'm good now.
00:09:43.000Which, yeah, that was a little suspicious.
00:09:45.000But with this one, these kids, they go on television and they're laughing it up, they're giggling, they're taking group photos.
00:09:53.000And you got to think, What is going on with these kids?
00:09:57.000What is that sickness where if people are dead, if people are laying in cold blood, your friend just got her face shot in in seventh period because, you know, she's in woodshop class or you're in science class.
00:10:08.000And the next thing you know, people are scattered all over the floor.
00:10:11.000And what, within four days, you're laughing it up on television.
00:10:35.000But the sickest part about it is the adults.
00:10:37.000The sickest part is the political actors in the media, where you see them coaching them on the interviews.
00:10:42.000You can see this CNN, some of these other outlets, when they're interviewing the witnesses of the crime, the witnesses of the shooting, and they're coaching them through the interview, telling them what to say, telling them how to say it.
00:10:54.000And it's just like I've never seen before the way they're putting the kids out there.
00:11:33.000But when the Democrats push these kids out there, number one, to pretend like we don't care, to pretend like if you believe in the Second Amendment, if you don't believe that more gun regulations will stop things like this, you don't sufficiently care about the kids.
00:11:49.000You should hear some of the messages, the tweets, the posts, the things that they talk about, as if Donald Trump and the NRA and people who own firearms, well, we want this to happen.
00:11:59.000Either we want this to happen or we just simply don't care enough.
00:12:02.000We don't care enough because we disagree with gun control, right?
00:13:30.000The government needs to regulate firearms.
00:13:33.000They need to create a national registry or they need to ban assault rifles, whatever that means, or assault, military grade assault weapons.
00:13:42.000You hear that a lot, which is a distinction that is meaningless.
00:14:16.000Now let's start to talk about what is to be done.
00:14:19.000It's interesting that all these 15 and 16 year olds who are at this school.
00:14:23.000I wonder how many people from Parkland, Florida, who knew people that got killed or who were affected by this, I wonder how many of them knew Nicholas Cruz.
00:14:31.000I wonder how many of them knew Nicholas Cruz.
00:14:34.000I wonder how many of them knew he was troubled.
00:14:36.000I wonder how many of them knew that he was having an issue, saw his Instagram page, saw the things he was commenting on YouTube, heard about some of the things going on.
00:15:31.000And so it's very easy for people to go out there one weekend or two weekends and they get their little photo out, they get to take a picture and post it on Instagram.
00:16:08.000How many after Virginia Tech when you saw this Asian student who was clearly having a difficult time, who was isolated, didn't have any friends?
00:17:02.000And then they get to go home and remain mean and remain jaded and isolated, atomized, and not intervene in other people's affairs and not look after one another, not care about each other's neighbors.
00:17:14.000So I think that's the broader point to get right down to it.
00:17:18.000All these people demanding they want action, claiming they want action.
00:17:21.000And I was down there at the protest and they were saying, vote them out, vote them out and protest.
00:17:28.000And what are you going to do in the meantime?
00:17:30.000What are you going to do in the meantime?
00:17:32.000There will still be the lack of neighborliness, there will still be the lack of community.
00:17:37.000And that's the responsibility of everybody.
00:17:38.000And don't expect it to change unless that changes because you'll always have people that slip through the cracks.
00:17:44.000And we find out over the weekend signs on top of signs on top of signs that this was going to happen from this kid, Nicholas Cruz.
00:17:53.000The police went to this guy's house 36 times.
00:18:15.000The kid had an Instagram page full of pictures of guns, knives.
00:18:18.000He threatened, and this came out over the weekend, that he was a, he Instagram messaged his ex girlfriend's.
00:18:25.000New boyfriend saying, I'm going to kill you, and then sent him pictures of his guns.
00:18:30.000He was in a group chat with how many different people talking about how he was going to go out and kill all kinds of people?
00:18:36.000He was expelled from school, bringing bullets to his backpack or bringing bullets to school in his backpack.
00:18:42.000All kinds of students sent emails to their teachers saying, This guy's been threatening me.
00:18:47.000So, really, how many regulations, how many laws will be required before people start enforcing the laws that are on the books?
00:18:54.000Before somebody intervenes in a situation like this where it's been going downhill for a year.
00:18:59.000You know, we start in the middle of the story where the shooting happened, but this was a year and a half in the making where this guy's spiraling out of control, and there's not a single person in his life that's going to say, hey, buddy.
00:19:11.000And even if there's nobody in his life, not even the FBI, when given two tips, not even the police, when visiting 36 times, thinks to themselves, well, maybe you should act a little bit further to stop this.
00:20:16.000That there are no laws that we can pass.
00:20:19.000There are no laws that we can pass to stop these things from happening before we attempt a community solution.
00:20:26.000And I was out there, I was out at the protest in Chicago, in downtown Chicago over the weekend.
00:20:32.000It was the Moms Demand Action protest.
00:20:34.000And I go out there, and people are mad and people are angry and they're sad.
00:20:38.000And I go out there engaging with people saying, look, we can have reasonable background checks.
00:20:42.000You look at the gun laws in Florida, and there's room for compromise.
00:20:47.000There's room for compromise where certain firearms you don't need a background check to buy.
00:20:53.000Certain things you don't need, like a mental health check or a license to buy a firearm.
00:20:58.000You could increase the age to buy a semi automatic rifle.
00:21:00.000I mean, there's a number of things you can do, which I think aren't going to change anything so much, but you can compromise on those for other things.
00:21:09.000But I go there willing to compromise and say, look, we can do X, Y, and Z if that makes you feel better, but here's the root cause of the problem.
00:21:16.000And you have all these people, lots of them rude, lots of them screaming in your face.
00:21:22.000You know, I had this one woman who gets in my face and she says, she's just so exasperated.
00:21:27.000She's just, she wants everybody to know how she does not understand where I'm coming from.
00:21:34.000Can you just help me understand why you're out here?
00:21:36.000She's telling me, I'm in my MAGA hat, I'm in my Trump sweatshirt, I'm periscoping it.
00:21:40.000I begin to tell her, you know, look, maybe we need firearms in the classroom.
00:21:44.000Maybe you need a teacher with a firearm.
00:21:46.000And not only does that decrease the amount of time before you get a first responder there, you know, imagine if somebody starts shooting up the school, it's better to have somebody in the school with a firearm.
00:21:55.000To combat that person as opposed to having to wait for somebody to make the call and for somebody to be dispatched and to drive there and to assess the situation and go in, it's better to have somebody on the scene.
00:22:06.000Of course, it's a quicker response time, but not only that, it's a deterrent.
00:22:09.000People are not going to shoot up a place where they know they will encounter resistance.
00:22:16.000And I quoted this statistic time and time again with these people 99% of all mass shootings take place in gun free zones because they know shooters know they will encounter no armed resistance.
00:22:26.000And she She's looking at me incredulously like I have three heads.
00:22:31.000Like, oh, I don't know how you think this, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:34.000And these people are simply not willing to reason.
00:22:37.000And what that says about them is they don't want to solve the problem.
00:22:42.000And I say that, you know, maybe people would say that's an offensive thing to say, but really it's true.
00:22:47.000They do not care enough to solve the problem.
00:22:50.000I'm sure they're torn up about people that are dead.
00:22:52.000I'm sure they're very upset by that as human beings.
00:22:55.000But what this is about more than anything is it's about them, it's about me.
00:22:59.000It's about, I'm going to put on my hat, I'm going to go, and I'm going to be the good person.
00:23:04.000Because if anybody really cared about kids, they would look into this.
00:23:06.000They would look into these statistics.
00:23:08.000They would look into John Lott, the criminologist, and the stats in America about gun crime.
00:23:13.000They would look into the constitutional case for the Second Amendment.
00:23:16.000They would look into all these things.
00:23:17.000They would look into this case and say, well, what's the best way to stop this?
00:23:21.000And they would have seen it had nothing to do with gun regulations, it had nothing to do with anything.
00:23:25.000You could have stopped this kid if you had one person who would intervene in his life.
00:23:29.000And if you cared about the solution, You would look into it that way.
00:24:17.000I tell them about the Constitution and about D.C. versus Heller, where they ruled in the 50s that we have a private right to own a firearm.
00:24:24.000It's not a well regulated militia, like people like to make the argument.
00:24:27.000They said, oh, well, the gun lobby bought the Supreme Court.
00:24:30.000So these are people that you cannot reason with.
00:24:33.000When people get in this emotional state, and look, we all get emotional, but when they let their passions blind themselves from logic, blind themselves, and I know that's a little.
00:24:43.000But when they blind themselves to cause and effect and how we assess these things empirically, these are not political actors.
00:24:52.000These are not serious political actors.
00:24:56.000And I don't think anybody should feel pressured by that.
00:24:58.000I don't think anybody should take that very seriously.
00:25:00.000That said, there is a significant political pressure now.
00:25:03.000And the White House has said they're willing to, they're open to hearing about how we could strengthen background checks, how we could strengthen the screening process before people buy firearms.
00:25:23.000Donald Trump looks like, and my nose is itching a little bit here, Donald Trump looks like the bad guy, and they win the news cycle.
00:25:30.000They start to reverse course on the generic ballot polling, which has been horrible for the Democrats this past four weeks.
00:25:37.000But I think the best thing we can do right now, the Republican Party and President Trump, make a soft compromise on some of these background check measures.
00:25:47.000I really don't think too much of that could hurt.
00:25:49.000You know, if we strengthen background checks, strengthen mental health screening, I'd have to see what that looks like.
00:25:54.000I don't think that'd be the end of the world.
00:25:56.000And we also have to have some kind of initiative, some kind of effort, maybe not even on the government level.
00:26:01.000Maybe Trump can lead on it at the government level.
00:26:04.000But I really do think the only way you're going to solve the problem, as opposed to looking like you're doing something, looking like you're solving the problem, is to address the issue of community.
00:26:13.000That's the only way that you're going to get near 100% stoppage on these kinds of things.
00:26:18.000Because, you know, there's 300 million guns in the country.
00:27:01.000The FBI, these different agencies are only so big.
00:27:04.000The only way we can stop it all is if we have 300 million people that are conscious and cognizant and watchful of it.
00:27:10.000I mean, just think about that in terms of gross numbers.
00:27:13.000However, many people that are going to enforce the law, however, you know, and all their capabilities to enforce the law, versus what if we had 300 million people.
00:27:23.000Who are keeping an eye out for this and acting on it, and some more than others, but 300 million people who are watching their neighbor, and not in like a weird, like Orwellian way, but keeping an eye out to make sure that they're okay.
00:27:36.000And if you had 300 million people that were doing that, well, then, I mean, think about the manpower that's there.
00:27:41.000You wouldn't even need laws if that were the case.
00:27:43.000If everybody were neighborly, I mean, think about it that way.
00:27:45.000If everybody were neighborly with one another, and if you had 300 million people that were making sure we were okay and making sure that, you know, somebody's not atomized or left out or.
00:27:55.000If they have issues that they're in a clinic, would you even need the gun laws?
00:28:01.000And I think that comes to the fundamental proposition of the country, which is if you have a virtuous people, if you have a neighborly people, if you have a people that is responsible and independent and virtuous, you really don't need very many laws at all.
00:28:15.000You really don't need government intervention.
00:28:17.000But we have to decide what kind of country we want to live in.
00:28:20.000Do we want to live in a country where we take responsibility and therefore we can enjoy more freedoms and liberties?
00:30:16.000Who'd ever even heard of Black Panther, right?
00:30:18.000But, you know, I guess he's, you know, this is the movie.
00:30:21.000But it had the fifth biggest box office opening of all time in the United States.
00:30:27.000$200 million in the three day opening in North America.
00:30:31.000The second biggest opening for Marvel, behind only the first Avengers movie, beat out Captain America Civil War, beat out Avengers number two, which I forget the name of that one.
00:30:47.000Because what this tells people, I think the idea that's getting in people's heads with this, and this was a meme that was started by Spencer, but I think it's kind of true.
00:30:57.000Black Panther, the concept that is embedded in Black Panther is a concept of essentially what we want for countries, what we want a nation to look like.
00:31:29.000And so people are watching this movie, and they're, you know, of course, lots of people saw this movie because it was a big box office opening, and people are excited about the premise.
00:31:38.000And I think that's a really interesting way to look at it in terms of how we're going to move the dial on these kinds of issues.
00:31:45.000I think if people start to see a prototype of what we're advocating for, what it looks like, I think they'll come around to the fact that this is.
00:31:52.000An entirely reasonable position, that our position is an entirely reasonable position.
00:31:58.000When they look at Wakanda, you know, and that's because it's black people, it's okay to talk about ethno nationalism or ethnic nationalism.
00:32:05.000And they say, well, here's a society that is coherent.
00:32:38.000And I think that's an important thing because you understand that culture is myth.
00:32:43.000And myth informs people about the things that are outside of their experience.
00:32:48.000Everything that's outside of your experience as a person, like, you know, from the time you're born until now, until the present.
00:32:55.000You have a certain amount of experiences and you know about these things firsthand.
00:32:58.000Anything outside of that, you rely almost entirely on media, on culture, on other people telling you about it.
00:33:06.000And other people telling you about it are informed by media and culture and books and movies and things.
00:33:11.000And that's why the mythological aspect of culture is very important because when you're referencing something that you yourself don't know about, political or otherwise complicated ideas, those things as idioms, as As relatable kind of examples, those will inform how you approach those things, your attitude on those things.
00:33:32.000So, when we're talking about ethnic nationalism, we're talking about super majorities and demographics.
00:33:38.000Most people, that's outside their experience.
00:33:40.000And what do they revert to most often?
00:33:42.000The myth of America as a nation of immigrants.
00:33:45.000The myth of America in culture and media and Hollywood as this diverse melting pot.
00:33:50.000It's Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, and they're kicking ass in Chinatown.
00:33:55.000And, you know, oh, it's New York City.
00:34:05.000What if the culture started to change?
00:34:07.000A direction more towards, and directed itself more towards something that is coherent, that is based on sameness, that is based on tradition.
00:34:17.000And I think Black Panther helps to do that.
00:34:19.000You know, next time people ask you, well, what do you mean when you say you're, and I'm not a white nationalist.
00:34:24.000I would never say that because those people are.
00:34:31.000But for the white nationalists, you could say, whereas before they would say, oh, well, we want it to be like this, and I don't know, there's going to be a lot of anime, and there'll be hentai, and everything will be purple and like vapor wave kind of.
00:34:45.000Now they could say, well, it's like Black Panther.
00:34:47.000It's like Black Panther for white people.
00:34:49.000It's like Wakanda, but for white people, but also black people get their own Wakanda, and Hispanics do too.
00:34:54.000And it's traditional, and it works, and everyone's happy, and there's no conflict.
00:34:57.000And then people could say, oh, Oh, like the movie that I saw.
00:35:07.000Maybe that's a little bit of a stretch.
00:35:10.000But I think those are the kinds of things we have to look out for in terms of how we can utilize this sewer that is our culture for our own agenda, for our own gains.
00:38:11.000Well, look, and while everybody was studying in high school, while everybody was, you know, working their fingers to their bone, getting A's and B's, and I was like kind of there.
00:38:19.000And when people were going to dances and, you know, they were hanging out with their friends and everything, I was doing my radio show every week for four years.
00:38:28.000I was doing my TV show in high school.
00:42:25.000Not only are they increasing in their percentage of the vote, which is Republican in terms of Hispanics, but also they have very, very low voter turnout.
00:42:33.000And hey, hopefully by that time, the Election Fraud Commission puts in place some new rules.
00:42:38.000Hopefully, we have voter ID laws federally mandated, and we clean that up so that we'll be taken care of for a little while.
00:42:45.000But thank you for the kind wishes on the sticks debate.
00:45:34.000The cue, what people push onto me in terms of anime recommendations, book recommendations, video game recommendations, it's like it's crushing my back.
00:45:45.000There's like 10 animes I gotta watch, 10 books I gotta read.
00:45:49.000I got two video games I got to play, and they're very hard, and I'm not good at them.
00:47:11.000Got to get myself situated for the big debate.
00:47:15.000So remember, that's coming up in 10 minutes on the Baked Alaska Show on YouTube.
00:47:20.000Me, Nick, Nick the Knife versus R.C. Maxwell, Black Hannity in a no-holds-barred tables, ladders, and chairs match, Elimination Chamber, Royal Rumble style.
00:47:33.000Falls anywhere, no TKOs, and interference is banned, and entrance music is off.
00:47:48.000But that's all for us tonight here on the show.
00:47:50.000Remember, if you want to support the show, if you want to support my lifestyle of luxury, you can donate, support the show on Maker Support, five bucks a month.

00:48:07.000Gets you a special role on the America First Discord, and we have so much fun.
00:48:11.000I post top secret information all the time, things that could get me in legal trouble, all kinds of things.
00:48:32.000And while we're talking about the future, CPAC this week, Wednesday to Sunday, so I won't be doing the show Wednesday through Friday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
00:48:42.000I'll be in Maryland getting my CPAC on.
00:48:44.000I'll be periscoping, so follow me on Twitter to check that out or follow me on Periscope.
00:48:50.000I don't think I'll be able to bring the set with me, but I will be periscoping some of it.
00:48:54.000We'll be interacting with some people, some people I like, some people I don't like.
00:48:57.000And stay tuned for how you can meet me there.
00:48:59.000I'm going to wait until the last minute to put details out so I don't get killed, actually.
00:49:04.000But that'll be coming up this week, and then we'll be back regular schedule the week afterwards.
