America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - TARIFF WAR??? Mexico and Canada SURRENDER To Emperor Trump | America First Ep. 1449

00:00:00.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.

00:00:15.000 I stop playing games.

00:00:17.000 And at any moment, I can kick that game.

00:00:20.000 I stop playing games.

00:05:11.000 And people don't realize what they have.

00:05:16.000 And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.

00:05:30.000 Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.

00:05:35.000 We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.

00:05:39.000 Not at all.

00:05:40.000 Nobody will have the fun I have.

00:05:43.000 Nobody will have the opportunity I have.

00:05:47.000 It's just not the same.

00:05:50.000 Jesus is the way and the life and the King of Israel.

00:05:56.000 We just leave with love.

00:06:00.000 We're really at a crossroads here.

00:06:02.000 Look around here.

00:06:04.000 It's drag queens in schools. 1.00

00:06:06.000 It's 18-year-olds joining OnlyFans.

00:06:08.000 It's the filth on TikTok.

00:06:10.000 It's this country not having a border.

00:06:12.000 It's the idea that our kids and we, this generation, are never going to own anything.

00:06:19.000 Think about it.

00:06:20.000 Never making an income to support a family.

00:06:22.000 Never being able to have a family.

00:06:24.000 People being corrupted before they're even a teenager by things on their phone.

00:06:30.000 Sick addiction to technology.

00:06:34.000 The future is so bleak.

00:06:36.000 But...

00:06:38.000 That has changed the calculation.

00:06:42.000 God is using me.

00:06:43.000 He's breaking me down.

00:06:46.000 Removing all of the, you know, richest person, all of this, so I can serve him.

00:06:51.000 I think they've been extremely unfair to you.

00:06:53.000 Who is they, though?

00:06:55.000 You can't tell who they is, can we?

00:06:58.000 There is no future if we do nothing now.

00:07:02.000 There is nothing to lose.

00:07:04.000 People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have are foolish.

00:07:11.000 It's all going.

00:07:12.000 It's all going away.

00:07:14.000 This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.

00:07:18.000 We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.

00:07:25.000 And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.

00:07:32.000 People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.

00:07:40.000 People have got to start to get courageous.

00:07:43.000 And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

00:07:57.000 And the alternative is that there will be no country.

00:08:01.000 Is it really only as big as low gas prices?

00:08:05.000 Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?

00:08:11.000 It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.

00:08:15.000 It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.

00:08:45.000 My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.

00:08:50.000 It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

00:09:05.000 And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.

00:09:12.000 Why are you called Mommy Malcolm?

00:09:15.000 I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.

00:09:45.000 America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.

00:09:56.000 These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

00:10:04.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

00:10:07.000 My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now.

00:10:18.000 My soul and exclusive mission is to go to work for you.

00:10:25.000 It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.

00:10:30.000 We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.

00:10:35.000 So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight.

00:10:49.000 I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

00:10:56.000 Saying to me is like, this is probably pretty cool for you.

00:11:11.000 I'm like, yeah, it is.

00:11:12.000 I am with you.

00:11:49.000 I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever.

00:12:04.000 A new droiper war.

00:12:26.000 I am with you.

00:12:27.000 I will do this shit for my brothers.

00:12:28.000 We will do this shit for each other.

00:12:33.000 The courageous fallen.

00:12:35.000 The anguished fallen.

00:12:36.000 Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them.

00:12:40.000 And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us.

00:12:46.000 I am with you.

00:12:47.000 Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world!

00:12:53.000 My soldiers push forward!

00:12:55.000 My soldiers scream out!

00:12:58.000 My soldiers rage!

00:13:00.000 We can't go back to the past.

00:13:18.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

00:13:20.000 They say, "Can we really go back?" The answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left wing, the answer is no.

00:13:28.000 We're never going back.

00:13:30.000 It's gone.

00:13:31.000 It's gone.

00:13:31.000 All of that is gone.

00:13:33.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.

00:13:38.000 Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.

00:13:43.000 Jesus Christ is our present now.

00:13:45.000 and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.

00:13:50.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth. 0.98

00:14:02.000 Come on.

00:14:03.000 We love everybody.

00:14:05.000 And we want people that can burn really more than anybody.

00:14:09.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world.

00:14:20.000 Our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

00:14:24.000 The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.

00:14:28.000 The only way we're gonna do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.

00:14:37.000 The only way that we're gonna make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian. 0.99

00:14:43.000 It's the only way.

00:14:44.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

00:14:49.000 We have to want it more than they do.

00:14:52.000 Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.

00:15:05.000 We'll be back with every weekend.

00:15:20.000 Now you see the world from the deep end.

00:15:24.000 You say that I'm bad, but I'm crazy.

00:15:27.000 This, I'm big up, I'm big up.

00:15:30.000 On them diamonds, girl you see these diamonds.

00:15:32.000 Girl you see this shit, you know I'm different climbers.

00:15:36.000 How I got this damn, got it cause I ain't tryin' richer than they family, richer than they memories.

00:15:43.000 Hold it up, where you at the club?

00:15:46.000 Hold it up, where you had that gun?

00:15:50.000 Pull up by side, pull up on them.

00:15:54.000 Now I got this bag on hash, on them.

00:15:57.000 I'm straight out of these diamonds, I'm straight out of these lights.

00:16:00.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:01.000 How you gon' serve these bills?

00:16:02.000 How you gon' serve these lights?

00:16:04.000 Yeah, turn up at my show, at least just do it right.

00:16:07.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:08.000 We go out all night.

00:16:10.000 You gon' serve me big, gon' serve me big, gon' serve me big, gon' serve up all night.

00:16:13.000 I'm gon' serve my dream, you gon' serve my cup, you gon' serve me all right.

00:16:16.000 They had a feeling, they had a rock on the back and they jump with the blocks up tweaking.

00:16:19.000 We got no good signal, you put it by sight of you, out of your mind, you crazy tweaking.

00:16:22.000 I'm out of my lane, bad in my mind, I'm really, but out of my tweaking.

00:16:26.000 Know that you lovin' these lights, you lovin' this world, we runnin' it back every weekend.

00:16:29.000 Shuddy, love with me every time I know, you're a shablee. 1.00

00:16:32.000 All y'all drunk inside this life's that world, y'all get to runnin' back up every weekend.

00:16:38.000 Now you see I'm run off on the deep end.

00:16:42.000 You say that I'm bad for no reason.

00:16:44.000 But I'm raising all in this, I'm bigger, I'm bigger.

00:16:48.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:16:54.000 Lawrence, I found something really interesting.

00:16:57.000 In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire Americans.

00:17:08.000 But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.

00:17:23.000 I cannot support this.

00:17:26.000 And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.

00:17:34.000 It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants. 0.89

00:17:44.000 And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.

00:17:56.000 Ask yourself this.

00:17:58.000 If not Donald Trump, if not now, then when?

00:18:07.000 So they may say mass deportations.

00:18:12.000 They may say illegal immigration.

00:18:14.000 It's not enough.

00:18:15.000 It's not enough.

00:18:17.000 And Americans need to get used to saying that.

00:18:19.000 Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves. 1.00

00:18:25.000 Telling us it's good enough.

00:18:27.000 We need to hear the words immigration moratorium. 0.99

00:18:30.000 No more immigrants. 1.00

00:18:31.000 No more.

00:18:34.000 Not since he announced his reelection campaign in November 2022 have I told anybody to vote for Trump.

00:18:43.000 When pushed for details on the policy, clearly.

00:18:47.000 They're repeating the same script as every other Republican, and they show that they're really not serious about mass deportations.

00:18:54.000 For that reason, I actually don't believe that illegal immigration will fall to historic lows.

00:19:03.000 And this is your America First policy.

00:19:06.000 We need the people.

00:19:07.000 We need limitless green cards.

00:19:09.000 And by the way, once they come in, you can't deport them.

00:19:12.000 So people, when confronted with this reality, first they said it was a throwaway remark.

00:19:17.000 They said he didn't really mean it.

00:19:18.000 Well, he's doubled down on it many times.

00:19:21.000 He doubled down on it in June, August, last week.

00:19:24.000 Now they say, well, so what?

00:19:26.000 Even if he means it, he said it last time.

00:19:29.000 No, he didn't.

00:19:29.000 Last time he was against H-1B visas.

00:19:36.000 Like, you thought you were going to tap?

00:19:38.000 The screen to pressure Trump, except one problem, Elon owns the platform.

00:19:44.000 But now the check marks are being removed, which means people are being de-amplified, and it's being manipulated.

00:19:52.000 They're manipulating the conversation.

00:19:54.000 And Elon retweeted today, or reposted, Trump saying in June, staple the green cards to the diplomas.

00:20:01.000 And that's a reminder, hey, this is what we got.

00:20:05.000 This is the deal.

00:20:06.000 I put in 277. I bought the platform for you.

00:20:10.000 I made Trump win.

00:20:12.000 And now Trump's going to deliver.

00:20:13.000 And if you're against it, well, there goes your checkmark.

00:20:15.000 If you voted for him, you are a sucker.

00:20:18.000 I expect apologies.

00:20:19.000 I want apology forms.

00:20:20.000 I want you to...

00:20:21.000 I'm sorry, Mr. Quentis.

00:20:22.000 I should have supported Groy for War II. Some

00:26:20.000 of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.

00:26:30.000 Together, we have the same mission.

00:26:33.000 Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair.

00:26:39.000 You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted, but you have.

00:26:49.000 To put your head down and fight, fight, fight.

00:26:54.000 Never, ever, ever give up.

00:26:57.000 Don't give in.

00:26:58.000 Don't back down.

00:27:00.000 And never stop doing what you know is right.

00:27:04.000 Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.

00:27:09.000 And the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face.

00:27:15.000 In your hearts.

00:27:16.000 Are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.

00:27:21.000 Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

00:27:29.000 America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

00:27:36.000 When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they prayed.

00:27:41.000 When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked Our Creator four times.

00:27:50.000 Because in America, we don't worship government.

00:27:52.000 We worship God.

00:27:54.000 It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust.

00:28:00.000 And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God.

00:28:07.000 The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble Beginnings.

00:28:20.000 The next generation of American leaders.

00:28:23.000 Never, ever give up.

00:28:28.000 There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit.

00:28:32.000 Never quit.

00:28:33.000 Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

00:28:39.000 Carry yourself with dignity and pride.

00:28:42.000 Demand the best from yourself.

00:28:45.000 The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.

00:28:56.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:29:06.000 Relish the opportunity to be an outsider.

00:29:09.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, The more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:29:20.000 You must keep pushing forward.

00:29:23.000 And always have the courage to be yourself.

00:29:29.000 America is better when people put their faith into action.

00:29:35.000 Pray to God and follow His teachings.

00:29:40.000 Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.

00:29:44.000 When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit.

00:29:54.000 You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.

00:30:03.000 You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts.

00:30:08.000 And to express the love that stirs your souls.

00:30:13.000 As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God, then you will not fail.

00:30:24.000 As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.

00:30:39.000 To be continued...

00:31:09.000 May God bless the United States of America.

00:31:19.000 And I just want to let you know that God blesses you.

00:31:23.000 And I want to just say you are special in every way.

00:31:29.000 God bless you and God bless America.

00:31:32.000 Thank you very much.

00:31:32.000 Thank you so much, everybody.

00:31:42.000 Can I just say, are you trusting Brian?

00:31:46.000 Yeah.

00:32:00.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

00:32:11.000 The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.

00:32:22.000 The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.

00:32:27.000 For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.

00:32:37.000 Our campaign represents a true existential threat.

00:32:44.000 Like they haven't seen before.

00:32:45.000 This is not simply another four-year election.

00:32:48.000 This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we, the people, reclaim control over our government.

00:33:00.000 The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration. 0.99

00:33:13.000 And economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.

00:33:19.000 The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.

00:33:31.000 It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.

00:33:48.000 This is a struggle for the survival of our nation.

00:33:53.000 And this will be our last chance to save it.

00:33:57.000 This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.

00:34:10.000 This is reality.

00:34:12.000 You know it, they know it, I know it, and pretty much the whole world knows it.

00:34:19.000 The thing that said, take a look at what happened.

00:34:22.000 These are people who work hard, but no longer have a voice.

00:34:39.000 I am your voice.

00:34:42.000 I am your voice.

00:35:02.000 Don't sit yet.

00:35:03.000 I didn't like this.

00:35:04.000 I didn't like this.

00:35:34.000 who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken.

00:35:43.000 They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women.

00:35:50.000 But they're going to find out the hard way.

00:35:53.000 They will find out like never before.

00:35:56.000 This nation belongs to you.

00:36:00.000 Belongs to me.

00:36:01.000 It was patriots like you that built this country.

00:36:18.000 And it's patriots like you that are going to save our country.

00:36:23.000 To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words from me tonight.

00:36:36.000 The people of America will not surrender our borders.

00:36:39.000 We will not surrender our culture.

00:36:42.000 We will not surrender our faith.

00:36:45.000 We will not surrender our We are done with their distorted visions for America.

00:37:02.000 It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again.

00:37:07.000 We want our country to be great again.

00:37:10.000 We want our country to be respected.

00:37:14.000 The time for action has come.

00:37:30.000 As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve. the respect that we deserve.

00:37:49.000 We want our country to be respected.

00:47:27.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:47:29.000 You're watching America First.

00:47:31.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:47:32.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:47:34.000 Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Monday.

00:47:38.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.

00:47:41.000 Big show, our featured story tonight, we are going to be talking about the tariffs.

00:47:47.000 I swear, this administration, as much as I hate to admit it, it's moving so quickly, the show can't even keep up with it.

00:47:57.000 Friday, we were going to talk about the threat of a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, 10% on China.

00:48:08.000 And they went into place on Saturday, two days ago.

00:48:13.000 This is three days ago the threat was made.

00:48:16.000 This was two days ago the tariffs went into effect.

00:48:19.000 We were supposed to talk about it Friday.

00:48:21.000 We ran out of time.

00:48:22.000 Plan to talk about it today.

00:48:24.000 Well, it is now Monday, three days later, and it's over.

00:48:29.000 The tariffs are going to be postponed.

00:48:33.000 There's going to be a temporary pause for a month because Mexico and Canada already made a deal.

00:48:41.000 And so the tariffs are not going into effect right now.

00:48:44.000 They're being deferred.

00:48:46.000 It was supposed to be, like I said, 25 on Mexico, 25 on Canada. 0.79

00:48:52.000 There were some special provisions within that.

00:48:55.000 10% on Canadian energy, for reasons we can get into during this show.

00:49:00.000 The threat was made Friday.

00:49:02.000 The tariffs came down Saturday.

00:49:04.000 By this morning, a deal had already been made.

00:49:08.000 And the tariffs really did not even take effect.

00:49:13.000 And so we'll talk tonight about how that happened and what the deal is.

00:49:17.000 The whole thing I think everybody understands is maybe not what it seems to be.

00:49:23.000 There are some ambiguities about this little episode.

00:49:28.000 And I don't think it's anything sinister necessarily.

00:49:33.000 But clearly there is more to the story than what is being reported in the news.

00:49:40.000 And that is because in the first place these were a form of punishment.

00:49:47.000 They were used as leverage in a negotiation.

00:49:50.000 It was punitive.

00:49:53.000 Trump levied these tariffs to secure the deal that we got today.

00:49:58.000 What makes it ambiguous is what exactly is contained in the deal.

00:50:05.000 Because what they said on Friday is that this mostly had to do with fentanyl crossing over the southern and northern border.

00:50:14.000 But there's almost no fentanyl that comes from Canada.

00:50:18.000 It is not a serious issue.

00:50:20.000 And the concessions that were given from Canada was really just the continuation of a program that they had authorized in December over a month ago.

00:50:33.000 So they put in these very disruptive tariffs.

00:50:36.000 They negotiate for concessions.

00:50:40.000 But I don't think they're being straightforward about what those concessions are or maybe what they wanted to begin with.

00:50:48.000 So there is some mystery about it.

00:50:51.000 We'll talk a little bit about that tonight.

00:50:53.000 Either way, though, I support the use of tariffs.

00:50:58.000 And this is something that we were supposed to talk about Friday.

00:51:02.000 We will talk about it tonight.

00:51:05.000 However, I support the use of tariffs.

00:51:10.000 Not as a political tool, although I think that's useful, but I believe that we should have a robust across-the-board tariff system to raise money for the government and to foster economic growth in the United States, and I think that that should happen regardless.

00:51:30.000 If you want to use tariffs as political leverage, add it on top of a tariff system.

00:51:37.000 So that is my only concern because I like tariffs.

00:51:43.000 I think the tariffs are useful.

00:51:44.000 I support using them on our adversaries, allies, but I wish that they would be systematized and used in a coherent trade policy rather than just being used.

00:52:00.000 Again, to secure limited concessions.

00:52:02.000 But we'll talk about that because it looks like there may be a pathway for more in the future, certainly.

00:52:08.000 We're also going to talk tonight about a brand new arms transfer to Israel.

00:52:14.000 $1 billion in military equipment is going over to Israel, authorized by Trump, and that includes the 2,000-pound bombs, which the Biden administration would not give to Israel.

00:52:28.000 And it's interesting, it's being described in the media as an arms sale.

00:52:33.000 They're calling it a weapons sale.

00:52:37.000 A $1 billion sale.

00:52:39.000 But it's not a sale.

00:52:41.000 Because the sale is being paid for by the foreign aid that we give to Israel.

00:52:48.000 So we are buying the equipment from ourselves and giving it to Israel.

00:52:55.000 And by the way, This is on top of what many analysts believe will be another $8 billion package that may be going to Israel tomorrow when Trump meets with Netanyahu in Washington or at some other point in the future.

00:53:15.000 So they freeze all foreign aid for 60 days except for Israel, Egypt, and Jordan.

00:53:23.000 And not only do they keep the foreign aid flowing, but they're adding to it.

00:53:28.000 They're actually increasing it.

00:53:30.000 They're opening up the foreign aid.

00:53:32.000 They're loosening restrictions and adding more on top of what we are already supposed to give to Israel every year.

00:53:42.000 So we'll talk about that, too.

00:53:44.000 And it should be a pretty good show.

00:53:46.000 Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble.

00:53:50.000 Smash the like button.

00:53:51.000 Leave a comment down below.

00:53:53.000 Let me know what you think about the show.

00:53:56.000 What else?

00:53:58.000 A couple of other stories.

00:54:00.000 Not major stuff, so I don't want to spend too much time on it.

00:54:03.000 But I tweeted about this today.

00:54:05.000 It's so funny.

00:54:08.000 And where do you even begin with this stuff?

00:54:12.000 Honestly, I'm so blackpilled lately.

00:54:18.000 Because I really do feel like Will Smith in I feel like I'm the only one that isn't down with what's happening.

00:54:28.000 I feel like I'm the only one that is hip, that things are not exactly what they appear to be.

00:54:36.000 And here's another example.

00:54:38.000 So Joe Kent, the Green Beret CIA agent who ran for Congress twice in Washington's third district in 2022 and in 2024. As a Republican, he lost both times.

00:54:54.000 He has now been appointed by Trump to lead the National Center on Counterterrorism under the office of the Director of National Intelligence.

00:55:08.000 And Trump announced this today on True Social and said congratulations to Joe Kent, the CIA officer and Green Beret.

00:55:19.000 Who is now the head of the Center for Counterterrorism.

00:55:26.000 And if you have watched this show for a long time, you may be aware that I have an ongoing feud.

00:55:33.000 Really, at this point, it's one-sided with Joe Kent.

00:55:38.000 And that feud has driven so many of the developments in my career over the past.

00:55:48.000 Three years.

00:55:49.000 A lot of people don't even know that.

00:55:52.000 And I've told this story before.

00:55:54.000 I'll tell it again briefly tonight.

00:55:56.000 I posted it on my Telegram channel, but what better time than now to get into it a little bit?

00:56:02.000 And it will elucidate a larger point.

00:56:05.000 So if you've heard this before, or maybe you haven't heard it, it's a very important story because it shows you what is going on.

00:56:14.000 So in 2021, This was after January 6th.

00:56:19.000 I had a small group of people that I'm no longer with that were working for me.

00:56:25.000 And we plotted how we would endorse America First candidates for the U.S. Congress.

00:56:32.000 And we thought that it was vitally important that we had other people inspired by Trump, ideologically aligned with Trump, that were moving up the ranks.

00:56:46.000 If Trump left office or if Trump were jailed or banished or something else, you know, if something happened to him, that the movement would not die or retire or be exiled with him.

00:56:58.000 So we called our project America First Candidates.

00:57:03.000 And we were looking for younger, previously unknown or unheard of candidates to support using our interns and social media.

00:57:13.000 And maybe even appearances by me, using my celebrity, to get America First fellow travelers in office.

00:57:21.000 And not only could they promote an America First agenda in Congress, but also we could use them to infiltrate the government.

00:57:28.000 And by we, I mean me and the Groypers.

00:57:32.000 So I went to a friend of mine named Ryan Gerdusky.

00:57:35.000 This is in 2021. I'm no longer friends with him, but years ago I met him on a handful of occasions.

00:57:42.000 And I talked to Ryan Gerdusky, and he had been putting together a consulting firm in 2021. He was consulting with a number of candidates in those midterms in 2022. And at that time, he released a national populist newsletter, national populist book.

00:58:01.000 He seemed to be aligned with me.

00:58:04.000 So I called them up and I said, hey, is there any way that you can recommend some candidates to me?

00:58:10.000 That I should support in the midterms.

00:58:13.000 And he gave me a short list, and I'm not going to tell you everybody that was on the list, because I don't want to get anybody in trouble.

00:58:20.000 But one of the names was Joe Kent.

00:58:23.000 And I looked into Joe Kent, and I had heard good things about him.

00:58:26.000 He was supposed to work in Trump's National Security Council right before he left office.

00:58:32.000 And I got his number.

00:58:33.000 I think I got his number either from Gerdusky or Matt Brainerd, who was his campaign manager.

00:58:39.000 And I called him on the phone.

00:58:41.000 I had a phone conversation with him.

00:58:43.000 And I said, hey, I introduced myself.

00:58:46.000 I'm McFuentes.

00:58:46.000 I love what you stand for.

00:58:48.000 I said, and we're looking to support America First candidates.

00:58:51.000 We like what you say.

00:58:53.000 We like that you support Trump.

00:58:55.000 And we would like to promote your social media and send our volunteers to help you canvas and things like that.

00:59:02.000 And he said, oh, that's great.

00:59:04.000 Great to meet you.

00:59:05.000 I've seen your stuff and this and that.

00:59:07.000 And I said, look, the only thing is this.

00:59:10.000 I said, you will be asked to disavow me.

00:59:14.000 I'm pretty controversial.

00:59:16.000 I said, you could look me up.

00:59:17.000 I said, the only condition, the only thing that I ask is that you don't disavow me.

00:59:22.000 I said, because this disavowal game, if we all start disavowing each other, the right will cannibalize itself.

00:59:31.000 I said, we have to stand together.

00:59:34.000 We can't let the left determine.

00:59:36.000 Who should be allowed to have a voice on the right?

00:59:39.000 And he said, I totally agree.

00:59:40.000 I'm with you and I will never disavow you.

00:59:43.000 I said, great.

00:59:43.000 So we're on the same page.

00:59:45.000 So fast forward a year later, 2022. We're doing AFPAC 4. I'm sorry, AFPAC 3. That's my big conference that I do every year.

00:59:56.000 We're holding this convention in Orlando, Florida.

00:59:59.000 We invite Joe Kent.

01:00:01.000 He doesn't even, as far as I know, didn't even reply to the invitation.

01:00:04.000 He didn't come.

01:00:05.000 Okay, fine.

01:00:07.000 We do the convention.

01:00:08.000 It's great.

01:00:09.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene was there.

01:00:10.000 Paul Gosar did a video.

01:00:12.000 It was a big convention.

01:00:14.000 The next day, Joe Kent goes on Twitter and says, I was invited to Nick's AFPAC. I didn't go.

01:00:23.000 And I disavow him, especially because of his views about Israel.

01:00:29.000 Who does this?

01:00:31.000 He didn't even go.

01:00:32.000 He didn't even go there.

01:00:34.000 So it's not like the media asked him for a disavowal.

01:00:38.000 It's not like it was even public that he was invited.

01:00:41.000 Nobody knew that we had ever talked before.

01:00:44.000 So this was just out of nowhere.

01:00:46.000 And again said specifically, I disavow his views.

01:00:50.000 I condemn his views about Israel.

01:00:53.000 And then he comes back in for seconds and says, I think that his focus on whiteness and Christianity He said, and it's contrary to my message of inclusive populism.

01:01:08.000 That's the word he used verbatim, inclusive populism.

01:01:14.000 And I clocked that immediately, immediately as subversive.

01:01:21.000 This is a subterfuge.

01:01:24.000 This is a subversion.

01:01:26.000 Because here is a guy.

01:01:28.000 Who comes from the national security world.

01:01:31.000 He didn't even live in the United States for 20 years.

01:01:35.000 He lived in the Middle East, in Somalia, I think.

01:01:38.000 For 20 years, he lived abroad, working for the CIA, working for military intelligence, comes back to the United States, starts putting out this America First message, and out of nowhere, disavows me.

01:01:54.000 Over Israel, over being white, and over Christian nationalism, says that he's an inclusive populist.

01:02:02.000 And the commonality that I noticed is that all of these projects from Steve Bannon, from Peter Thiel, from Tucker Carlson, from Ryan Gerdusky, they all use that label.

01:02:18.000 Steve Bannon calls himself a populist nationalist, populist nationalist.

01:02:23.000 Ryan Gerdusky wrote a book, The Populist Nationalist Movement.

01:02:27.000 That was the name of his newsletter.

01:02:29.000 Many of the Teal-backed candidates described themselves as multiracial working class populists.

01:02:37.000 There was the American Populist Union, a group called APU, which was created to replace me, or to split the difference, split right down the middle between me and the conservative establishment.

01:02:49.000 So I heard all these...

01:02:51.000 Populist, populist terms.

01:02:54.000 And then there was Joe Kent saying, my brand is not Christian nationalism, America first, etc.

01:03:01.000 It is inclusive populism, whatever that means.

01:03:05.000 Now they're calling it colorblind meritocracy.

01:03:08.000 Very similar.

01:03:10.000 And so I went on a tear and I said, you know what?

01:03:13.000 I said, this guy is infiltrating.

01:03:16.000 I said, there is a concerted effort to steer the energy of Trumpism and the voters, the Trump base, away from radicalism, away from white racial consciousness, away from Christian identity, away from actual far-right politics, and back into neoliberalism, steer it back into something else.

01:03:42.000 Inclusive populism, working class, whatever you want to call it.

01:03:46.000 But basically, it's going to be secular, it's going to be multiracial, multicultural, and they're going to be in favor of fiscal restraint, cutting taxes, cutting spending, economic nationalism, trade war with China, and beefing up national security.

01:04:05.000 And I said, you know, that sounds to me basically...

01:04:08.000 Exactly like the old GOP. That doesn't sound like Trumpism or America First or a step beyond Trumpism at all.

01:04:15.000 So I said, instead of helping Joe Kent, we're going to punish Joe Kent.

01:04:19.000 I said, this is a guy who betrayed me.

01:04:23.000 He made a promise on the phone, and this is not the first time that one of these people, these people, has broken a promise like this.

01:04:33.000 More on that.

01:04:34.000 Later, in years, you'll hear a very similar story come out in 2028 that is very similar to this, and more on that later in this decade.

01:04:44.000 But he made a promise I won't disavow.

01:04:46.000 He comes out of nowhere to hit my view on Israel, whites, and Christianity, and then offers up this inclusive populism.

01:04:54.000 I said, if we allow the GOP to steal the mantle of America first, I said, then we will be made redundant.

01:05:04.000 Then we will be usurped.

01:05:06.000 All of the energy behind this politics will be stolen and redirected and channeled into the old establishment mantra, the old establishment ideology.

01:05:20.000 So I said, instead of helping, we're going to try to sink his campaign.

01:05:24.000 So I invested a very small sum of money.

01:05:27.000 I found one of the Groyper schizos. 1.00

01:05:31.000 And we started up a website called Joe Kent is CIA. And we put up stickers and QR codes.

01:05:39.000 And we went to his events and asked him questions.

01:05:41.000 And we had a website called Joe Kent is CIA. And the basis was this guy is untrustworthy.

01:05:50.000 He comes from the intelligence world.

01:05:52.000 He comes from the CIA. He is not to be trusted.

01:05:55.000 That's not America first.

01:05:57.000 This is some sort of a plant.

01:06:00.000 When it came time for his election in November in 2022, when he ran the first time, he lost.

01:06:10.000 And not only did he lose, he lost by less than 1% of the vote.

01:06:16.000 He lost by fewer than 2,000 votes.

01:06:21.000 And it was rated...

01:06:23.000 The number one biggest upset in the entire midterm elections.

01:06:30.000 So you have 535 elections going on during the midterms.

01:06:36.000 You have 100 in the Senate, 435 in the House.

01:06:39.000 This was rated a safe Republican seat.

01:06:42.000 He was polling in the lead for the entire race.

01:06:47.000 And it was, I believe, Republican District.

01:06:49.000 It was rated the number one upset he lost by less than 1%.

01:06:55.000 And people were furious.

01:07:00.000 A few months later, January 2023. Okay, so think of the timeline.

01:07:06.000 2021, I call Joe Kent.

01:07:08.000 I say, we're going to help you.

01:07:10.000 He says, I will never disavow you.

01:07:12.000 Great.

01:07:13.000 We don't hear from him for a while.

01:07:15.000 2022, he comes out of nowhere in February, February or March 2022, and says, I disavow Nick's views about Israel, white identity, Christian nationalism, more inclusive populists.

01:07:27.000 I said, okay.

01:07:30.000 Over the course of the year, we run this operation.

01:07:32.000 And it wasn't very expensive.

01:07:33.000 It wasn't very laborious.

01:07:35.000 But we just got the word out that the guy is a CIA agent.

01:07:39.000 He loses by a hair.

01:07:41.000 Couple months later, January 2023, I get a call from a dear friend of mine, and she tells me that Tucker Carlson called her.

01:07:55.000 She said Tucker Carlson never calls her.

01:07:59.000 She said her only contact with him is that sometimes she's an old friend of his.

01:08:04.000 She would text him and make recommendations about what to cover.

01:08:08.000 But it was very sporadic.

01:08:09.000 And he would reply to her texts, but they weren't close, and he never reached out to her.

01:08:15.000 She said, but in January 2023, just two months later, she gets a call from Tucker Carlson, and he's asking about me.

01:08:24.000 Asking about me and Kanye, me and Ye.

01:08:27.000 Asking if I had anything to do with his mental breakdown.

01:08:31.000 Asking me if I'm a federal agent because of January 6th.

01:08:36.000 And she said it sounded like he was nervous, like he was reading from a script.

01:08:40.000 And she found it very, very strange, and she reached out to a mutual friend and shared all this.

01:08:46.000 And then I get a call from a woman named Anya Parempel.

01:08:52.000 That's Max Blumenthal's wife.

01:08:54.000 And she's calling me about a hit piece that she's writing for The Gray Zone.

01:08:58.000 The Gray Zone is Max Blumenthal's publication.

01:09:02.000 And she asked me about January 6th.

01:09:05.000 She asked me about Ye.

01:09:06.000 And she asked me about Joe Kent.

01:09:08.000 And I answer all her questions very transparently, honestly.

01:09:12.000 She didn't even really know many of the facts.

01:09:15.000 And what follows...

01:09:17.000 Is a massive three-part hit piece released over the course of a week, accusing me of everything that you can imagine, of being a bad boss to my employees, of being a federal agent at January 6th, of sabotaging Trump with Yay 24, of sabotaging Joe Kent in 2022. And the thrust of the piece is that I am deployed.

01:09:44.000 By some organization, by the government or by the left to derail the populist right in America.

01:09:53.000 Now this piece comes out and I go on my show and I go line by line and I rebut all of the accusations.

01:10:01.000 I go through everything.

01:10:02.000 But this is a massive hit piece.

01:10:04.000 It was probably 10 or 15,000 words.

01:10:08.000 It was like the length of a short book.

01:10:12.000 Then, and it gets better.

01:10:14.000 So this huge hit piece comes out.

01:10:17.000 Then a friend of mine calls me.

01:10:20.000 I think I can say who it is at this point, although I'm not going to just in case it's not okay.

01:10:26.000 But a longtime friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, calls me up and says, Yo, Nick, you got a minute?

01:10:31.000 I said, Yeah.

01:10:32.000 He said, So I am getting paid by an outfit called Influencible.

01:10:38.000 Influencible formed out of, I believe, a group called Today is America.

01:10:42.000 They have since been absorbed by another group.

01:10:45.000 And what they do is they pay influencers on the conservative side to promote social media campaigns.

01:10:52.000 So let's say a Republican congressional campaign wants to get an ad out there on TikTok and Twitter.

01:11:00.000 Then it was called Twitter.

01:11:01.000 They would go to Influencible and pay them $10,000, let's say.

01:11:06.000 And Influencible would disperse that money to influencers and say, okay, everybody, we want you to make a TikTok about this candidate and we'll pay $200 for every post that you make with a maximum of three posts.

01:11:20.000 That's sort of how it works.

01:11:21.000 So it's a firm that mediates between these like GOP organizations, candidates, and the influencers.

01:11:29.000 And it gives them contracts to promote campaigns.

01:11:33.000 So I get called by one of their influencers, a dear friend, and he calls me and says, there is a campaign that has been taken out to call you a federal agent and to share the link to the Gray Zone article, and he sent it to me.

01:11:49.000 And I'm sure you've seen the flyer.

01:11:51.000 I've posted it before.

01:11:52.000 I could post it again on my Telegram, but if you look for it, you'll find it.

01:11:56.000 And the campaign was literally called hashtag Fed Fuentes.

01:12:02.000 And it said, post the hashtag FedFuentis with the link to the article, and these are the talking points.

01:12:10.000 And I was told by somebody on the inside that somebody paid $100,000 to push this campaign.

01:12:17.000 Now, that number has not been confirmed.

01:12:19.000 The company has disputed it, but that is what somebody told me.

01:12:22.000 Either way...

01:12:24.000 The flyer was authentic.

01:12:25.000 The campaign was authentic.

01:12:27.000 And only one influencer promoted it before they took it offline after I revealed and exposed all of this on my show.

01:12:37.000 Now, it matters to understand all of the characters that are involved in this story.

01:12:43.000 Let's start with Joe Kent.

01:12:45.000 Joe Kent was in the CIA and was a Green Beret in the military.

01:12:50.000 Green Beret is military intelligence.

01:12:53.000 He lived abroad for 20 years working in intelligence.

01:12:57.000 He comes back to the United States.

01:13:00.000 He was going to be tapped to lead Trump's National Security Council.

01:13:04.000 But then, of course, Trump transitioned into the Biden administration.

01:13:08.000 Joe Kent then received $1 million from Peter Thiel.

01:13:14.000 He received $1 million for his congressional campaign in 2022 from Peter Thiel.

01:13:23.000 Kent was also promoted heavily on Tucker Carlson's show.

01:13:28.000 Tucker Carlson promoted him repeatedly then on his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight.

01:13:37.000 Interesting connections.

01:13:39.000 Tucker Carlson, of course, who then helped Max Blumenthal write the hit piece, he has his own connections to Peter Thiel.

01:13:49.000 The Tucker Carlson Network received $15 million from a venture capital firm that is run by J.D. Vance.

01:13:57.000 The parent company is owned and run by J.D. Vance.

01:14:01.000 This was last year.

01:14:03.000 And like I said, Tucker Carlson promoted Kent on the show.

01:14:07.000 Tucker Carlson's father ran Voice of America, which is a CIA propaganda outlet for countries around the world.

01:14:19.000 Allegedly, he was turned down.

01:14:22.000 Ryan Gerdusky, who put me in touch with Kent.

01:14:25.000 Ryan Gerdusky was consulting for all of the candidates that Teal backed in the 2022 midterms.

01:14:33.000 Ryan Gerdusky also consulted, in addition to Joe Kent, he also consulted for J.D. Vance, Blake Masters, both protégés.

01:14:45.000 of Teal.

01:14:46.000 Both received millions of dollars from Teal to run Senate races in 2022. Gurdusky also consulted for congressional candidates that Teal backed in 2022. Max Blumenthal, who wrote the hit piece, his father, Sidney Blumenthal, was the hatchet man for Bill and Hillary Clinton and had been for many decades.

01:15:09.000 Max Blumenthal's Jewish and he is Israel-critical.

01:15:14.000 Public intellectual.

01:15:16.000 But that is the pedigree.

01:15:18.000 The father is Sidney Blumenthal.

01:15:20.000 These are the people that have conspired to call me the federal agent.

01:15:27.000 And think about the timeline.

01:15:29.000 I called Kent in 21 and said, hey man, we are behind you 100%.

01:15:36.000 We're America first.

01:15:37.000 Just don't disavow.

01:15:39.000 If you have to, part with us.

01:15:41.000 Just do it quietly.

01:15:43.000 Just tell us.

01:15:44.000 We won't be offended, but don't disavow us.

01:15:47.000 2022, out of nowhere, he condemns us for my views on Israel, whites, and Christianity.

01:15:52.000 He says we're promoting this inclusive populism.

01:15:56.000 The guy's a CIA agent.

01:15:58.000 He gets a million from Teal.

01:15:59.000 Gerdusky's consulting for him, as well as Vance Masters, this guy Witt in Georgia.

01:16:05.000 Among others, I'm not going to blow up everybody's spot.

01:16:09.000 And then when Kent loses, Max Blumenthal, a dear, dear friend of Tucker Carlson, Well, he and Tucker collaborate to write a giant hit piece on me, accusing me of everything.

01:16:22.000 This was supposed to destroy my reputation, destroy my career, and they pay a company called Influensible to promote it among the Twitter influencers.

01:16:31.000 And the rumor is that Tucker was even going to do a spot about it on his show, but canceled because I started to unravel the whole thing on my show when it was going on.

01:16:43.000 And this...

01:16:45.000 Is how they operate.

01:16:48.000 Okay?

01:16:49.000 This is how they operate.

01:16:51.000 Is there anybody in this populist network that is not connected to the CIA? Anybody?

01:16:58.000 Let's see.

01:16:59.000 Joe Kent is a CIA officer.

01:17:03.000 Tucker Carlson's dad ran Voice of America, which is a big deal.

01:17:07.000 He was appointed by Reagan, and he's worked for all sorts of foreign governments.

01:17:11.000 Tucker applied for the CIA. He was in Nicaragua during the Contras scandal.

01:17:18.000 J.D. Vance is the protege of Peter Thiel.

01:17:20.000 He got a job in Silicon Valley because of Thiel.

01:17:24.000 He worked for Peter Thiel at Mithril Capital.

01:17:26.000 Then when he worked for Revolution and got his own hedge fund, it was funded by Thiel.

01:17:31.000 And Vance directed his venture capital money into Teal-backed projects like Anduril, among others.

01:17:38.000 Vance gave $15 million through the Rockbridge Network and a subsidiary of Rockbridge Network to Tucker Carlson Network when he left Fox News a couple of years ago.

01:17:52.000 Then you have Max Blumenthal, the son of Sidney Blumenthal, Clinton, Hatchet Man, and best friend of Tucker Carlson.

01:18:01.000 It goes on and on and on.

01:18:05.000 And they are the ones accusing me of being the Fed.

01:18:10.000 They accuse me of being divisive, of splitting up the right, giving everybody a bad look, when they have made it very clear that their issue with me is that I'm critical of Israel, maybe too critical of Israel, that I promote white identity, explicit white identity, and Christian nationalism.

01:18:31.000 Are there any of them that are not connected to military intelligence or to the CIA? What exactly is being foisted upon us?

01:18:41.000 And now, by the way, Vance is the vice president.

01:18:46.000 Kent has been appointed by Trump, who basically named him, basically blew up his spot as a CIA agent.

01:18:54.000 He's now running the center on counterterrorism.

01:18:59.000 Peter Thiel's people are running the government.

01:19:01.000 Thiel is a CIA contractor.

01:19:03.000 What exactly is being foisted upon us?

01:19:06.000 And pay attention to some of the things that are happening.

01:19:09.000 What did they just report today?

01:19:11.000 Do you know that military recruitment is at an all-time high now?

01:19:16.000 It had been chronically low for years.

01:19:20.000 Such that it had become a crisis.

01:19:23.000 Perhaps that is why they had to lower the standards using DEI. Because nobody was joining the military.

01:19:29.000 But now that Trump has won the election, now that America's back, now recruitment numbers are soaring.

01:19:37.000 And they're actually going to have to open up new facilities for all the recruits that are joining the government.

01:19:44.000 At the same time, I posted a clip today.

01:19:48.000 When Tucker Carlson was on Piers Morgan.

01:19:51.000 And everybody lately is talking about how Tucker Carlson's dropping red pills.

01:19:57.000 He's talking about how the Israelis killed Kennedy and they bombed the Liberty and all this sort of thing.

01:20:04.000 But if you watch the Piers Morgan-Tucker interview, towards the end of it, Piers asks a very straightforward question.

01:20:10.000 He says, if you don't support giving money to Ukraine because it's not our business, And you don't care that they are our ally.

01:20:20.000 Why do you support giving money to Israel?

01:20:23.000 And Tucker goes, well, I don't support giving money to any country.

01:20:26.000 And he starts his filibuster.

01:20:27.000 And Pierce says, no, no.

01:20:28.000 But why do you support giving money to Israel?

01:20:32.000 He goes, well, I don't know.

01:20:34.000 I don't know.

01:20:34.000 I don't know what an ally is.

01:20:36.000 I don't know what that means.

01:20:37.000 And Pierce says, do you support America supporting Israel to the tune of billions of dollars per year?

01:20:44.000 And Tucker says, well, it depends.

01:20:45.000 It depends.

01:20:47.000 And it's a hard watch.

01:20:49.000 It's this brutal seven-minute struggle session.

01:20:52.000 Despite all the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, despite the dog whistles, despite the innuendo that Tucker always does, the fake laughter, the sarcasm, the sardonic humor, you know, despite all that, when push comes to shove and they ask point blank, okay, do you support America supporting Israel?

01:21:14.000 Do you support America supporting this war?

01:21:16.000 It's, oh, I don't know.

01:21:19.000 I don't support any of it.

01:21:21.000 Oh, well, it depends.

01:21:25.000 Something is not right here.

01:21:28.000 Something is off here.

01:21:30.000 Something very, very strange is happening in our country right now.

01:21:35.000 And it concerns all these people, all of these new CIA operatives that are now running our government.

01:21:42.000 Did we red pill the CIA now?

01:21:45.000 I mean, let's be honest.

01:21:48.000 Red pilling Marco Rubio, that was a stretch.

01:21:51.000 You know, when he appointed Rubio to be Secretary of State and people said, no, no, he's changed.

01:21:56.000 He's not short and gay anymore.

01:21:58.000 He's changed.

01:21:59.000 We red pill them.

01:22:00.000 You know, that was a stretch.

01:22:02.000 When they said that we had red-pilled Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, that was outrageous.

01:22:09.000 When they said that Bezos and Zuckerberg were funding the inauguration and they would be there, and people said, I'm sorry, wait, what?

01:22:17.000 How is this not captured by the billionaires, by the interest?

01:22:21.000 People said, no, no.

01:22:23.000 Zuckerberg started working out.

01:22:25.000 He got red-pilled.

01:22:27.000 I mean, that was outrageous.

01:22:28.000 That was pretty tough to believe.

01:22:30.000 But now, we are supposed to believe that our government, this scene being taken over by the CIA, is nothing to scrutinize because the CIA got red-pilled?

01:22:44.000 So now the CIA became, our guys are running the CIA or our guys from the CIA are running the government?

01:22:53.000 Seriously?

01:22:54.000 Is that all it takes?

01:22:55.000 Why?

01:22:55.000 Because they like traditional architecture?

01:22:58.000 Is that all it takes?

01:22:59.000 That's all you need to say?

01:23:02.000 Hi, I'm from the CIA. I'm here to run the government.

01:23:06.000 Hang on, time out.

01:23:08.000 I feel like I should be suspicious of you.

01:23:11.000 No, no, don't worry.

01:23:12.000 Brutalist architecture is ugly, and I like traditional architecture.

01:23:16.000 Oh, well, why didn't you just say so?

01:23:18.000 Come right in.

01:23:19.000 Here's all the Treasury Department data.

01:23:22.000 Why didn't you just say that?

01:23:23.000 Here's control over the whole federal government.

01:23:26.000 I'm sorry, weren't we running against the deep state?

01:23:30.000 Wasn't that the whole point from the very beginning?

01:23:33.000 I mean, what is the deep state if not CIA officers from generational intelligence families going back decades?

01:23:42.000 What else is the deep state?

01:23:44.000 Who are we fighting against?

01:23:46.000 Oh, wait, they tell us.

01:23:49.000 We're supposed to believe that the deep state we were fighting against was not.

01:23:55.000 The CIA, not the Mossad, not the Israeli billionaires like Les Wexner or Miriam Adelson.

01:24:04.000 No, no.

01:24:05.000 The deep state we were fighting against were the black DMV workers at the Department of Education. 0.99

01:24:13.000 So when the CIA, Mossad, Hungarian embassy, Israeli compromised people, when they come in and institute a coup to take over the government, It's okay. 0.52

01:24:26.000 They're our guys.

01:24:27.000 They like traditional architecture.

01:24:29.000 And when you say, isn't that the deep state?

01:24:31.000 They say, no.

01:24:32.000 No, the deep state were those brown communists that were running the Department of Education. 0.97

01:24:39.000 It was those brown communists that were stuffing their pockets with bloated government salaries being functionaries in the federal bureaucracy. 1.00

01:24:50.000 Really?

01:24:52.000 So those people are to blame.

01:24:54.000 It's them, not the CIA, not these foreign intelligence agencies, not the compromised billionaires.

01:25:01.000 Seriously?

01:25:04.000 And more on that later this week.

01:25:07.000 But honestly, it's very shocking.

01:25:11.000 And like I said, I feel like I'm going crazy because this stuff is so in your face.

01:25:17.000 These connections are all out there.

01:25:19.000 It's all obvious.

01:25:21.000 It's all transparent.

01:25:22.000 And nobody seems to be the least bit bothered by it.

01:25:25.000 All they have to do is dangle, jingle some keys in front of your face.

01:25:30.000 And people get so distracted about what's actually happening to the country.

01:25:36.000 Are we really getting the Trump agenda from 2016?

01:25:41.000 I feel like we're not.

01:25:43.000 Case in point, look at these ICE numbers.

01:25:47.000 Two weeks into the Trump administration, we haven't had ICE numbers in days.

01:25:52.000 We haven't had ICE numbers in 36 hours.

01:25:54.000 I'm sorry, 60 hours.

01:25:56.000 We have not had an update from ICE on deportations in two and a half days.

01:26:02.000 They came into the government with a daily update on the numbers.

01:26:07.000 We mean business this time.

01:26:09.000 We are organized.

01:26:10.000 This is serious.

01:26:11.000 We're getting these people out.

01:26:13.000 We're going to post day after day how many deportations.

01:26:16.000 And the numbers were like 300, 400?

01:26:21.000 Trump said, you got to get them up.

01:26:23.000 They said, all right.

01:26:23.000 They got them up to 1,000.

01:26:25.000 And then they started falling again.

01:26:27.000 Then they couldn't get them up past 1,000.

01:26:29.000 Then they just stopped reporting them all together.

01:26:31.000 And they're changing what's on the graphic.

01:26:34.000 They're changing what time they post it.

01:26:36.000 They start missing day.

01:26:37.000 They missed a day last week.

01:26:39.000 They missed two days this week.

01:26:42.000 How long did that take for that to completely fall apart?

01:26:45.000 Two weeks?

01:26:48.000 And remember, they said day one, everything's going to change.

01:26:52.000 And I said, yeah, no, it didn't happen day one.

01:26:55.000 Everyone said, wait, it's only day one.

01:26:57.000 Just give it a little while.

01:26:59.000 Okay, well, it's week two.

01:27:01.000 How are we doing on week two?

01:27:02.000 Because so far, the number of deportations is less than Obama.

01:27:07.000 Fewer deportations than Obama.

01:27:12.000 And they haven't gotten up.

01:27:14.000 Forget about even significantly higher than Obama or multiples of Obama.

01:27:19.000 They're not higher than Obama's first term.

01:27:21.000 We're two weeks in, and they're not even posting the numbers anymore.

01:27:24.000 And I said on my Telegram, when do you think those numbers are going to go way up?

01:27:29.000 They need to be at least 3,000 per day.

01:27:33.000 Realistically, ideally, they should be 7,000 per day.

01:27:36.000 We can't get 1,000 per day.

01:27:38.000 When do you think we're going to get multiples of that?

01:27:41.000 When is that going to happen?

01:27:43.000 Because the midterms are next year.

01:27:45.000 There are massive protests in the cities against this.

01:27:50.000 The Democrats are reconstituting themselves, and they're slow.

01:27:54.000 It seems like they're still pretty disorganized, but by the midterms, they'll have figured out a message.

01:27:59.000 When do you think we're going to get many multiples?

01:28:02.000 During a midterm election, when we need to keep the House, and we need to be realistic, and we need to do what's politically right?

01:28:08.000 To keep our majority?

01:28:10.000 And when after that?

01:28:13.000 If the Democrats control the House?

01:28:15.000 2027?

01:28:16.000 When are we going to get these mass deportations?

01:28:19.000 Or was that a false promise to trick the base into voting for this administration so that they could get what they really wanted, which is austerity, which is the contracts for their various federal contractors?

01:28:36.000 For their economic interests?

01:28:39.000 It seems very clearly that it was the latter.

01:28:43.000 But anyway, so that's that.

01:28:44.000 I mean, and obviously it's all connected.

01:28:47.000 I mean, you've either...

01:28:48.000 Let's be very clear.

01:28:50.000 There has been a sharp divergence ever since 2021 in this movement, in this Groyper movement, in the America First movement, between people who are...

01:29:02.000 Paying attention and have some conviction about what is happening, about this subterfuge, about this populist skin suiting, this populist usurpation, and people that are going along with it. 0.77

01:29:16.000 People that for personal advantage, for personal gain, or because they're just stupid, are going along with it.

01:29:24.000 That seems to be the divergence.

01:29:26.000 I mean, I don't know about you guys, but my position has not changed since I started the show.

01:29:30.000 If you go back six years ago to 2018, 2019, I was saying the same stuff about green cards, deportations, the border, tariffs, the wars, Israel, white identity. 0.93

01:29:43.000 I mean, I've been saying the same thing for nearly 10 years.

01:29:46.000 And, you know, so it's not like I had some dire change of heart or drastic change of heart.

01:29:56.000 It seems to be everybody else that has been lulled into this false sense of complacency or false sense of security.

01:30:04.000 But anyway, so that's that.

01:30:06.000 I don't want to rant the whole night, but...

01:30:08.000 You see that?

01:30:10.000 And by the way, there were people that were denying that Joe Kent was in the CIA. We called that.

01:30:14.000 We called that for what it was from the beginning.

01:30:16.000 The guy was a CIA agent running for Congress with all this very conspicuous backing saying, no, no, but he's a based CIA agent.

01:30:25.000 Really?

01:30:28.000 And we were the only ones that were paying attention back then, even to Vance.

01:30:32.000 I mean, I told people back then that Vance was not to be trusted.

01:30:35.000 Eventually, I endorsed him.

01:30:38.000 Because, you know, everybody was against me.

01:30:41.000 Everybody was against me shitting on Vance.

01:30:43.000 And, you know, he defended Marjorie Taylor Greene at AFPAC. And he called for a porn ban and other things.

01:30:49.000 And I'll admit he fooled me.

01:30:51.000 But I was the first one to say this guy was in AEI. He loved Obama.

01:30:57.000 Like, this is a very bizarre situation.

01:31:02.000 And now...

01:31:03.000 It just keeps getting weirder.

01:31:05.000 The more that we dig, the weirder it gets.

01:31:07.000 The more that we find things are not as they seem, and I'm not going to go along with it.

01:31:13.000 It would be very easy for me to go along with it like some people are, like some people are doing.

01:31:19.000 It would be very easy to just join up, but this is contrary to our values.

01:31:25.000 These secular, liberal...

01:31:28.000 Immigrant, anti-white, like these oligarchs that are running our country, these people are not aligned with us.

01:31:34.000 And yeah, arguably they're administering the government better than the predecessors, than the previous regime, but we still have to push.

01:31:44.000 This is still not a victory yet.

01:31:46.000 So there's no substitute for a true victory.

01:31:49.000 But anyway, that's that.

01:31:50.000 I do want to move on.

01:31:51.000 I want to get into our news tonight.

01:31:54.000 And our first story is about this aid to Israel.

01:31:57.000 I mean, here's another perfect example.

01:32:00.000 So last week, there was all this fanfare about how Marco Rubio's State Department had issued a memo suspending all foreign aid.

01:32:11.000 And everybody heralded this as the beginning of America First, the implementation of an America First foreign policy.

01:32:19.000 So all the foreign aid money is suspended.

01:32:22.000 And it doesn't matter whether it's needed for humanitarian reasons, military, economic reasons.

01:32:29.000 They called for a complete shutdown of the foreign aid.

01:32:32.000 Then we found out very quickly afterward that there were two exceptions.

01:32:37.000 Two waivers were given for Israel and Egypt.

01:32:41.000 No surprise.

01:32:43.000 No surprise at all to anybody that's been paying attention.

01:32:46.000 We were supposed to believe that Trump was muscling Israel.

01:32:50.000 He was muscling Netanyahu.

01:32:52.000 It would be different.

01:32:53.000 Well, that's your first sign that it's not going to be different because they gave a waiver to the number one and number two recipients of foreign aid that have the biggest foreign lobby.

01:33:04.000 And as I explained when we covered it on the show, the foreign aid to Egypt, you can really roll into the foreign aid to Israel because it's a bribe to Egypt to be at peace with Israel.

01:33:15.000 In perpetuity, that's what our foreign aid to Egypt is.

01:33:18.000 So that was the first big sign that things were not fundamentally going to be any different.

01:33:25.000 Now today, there's a new story that actually we're giving a weapons transfer to Israel.

01:33:30.000 Not only are we not ending the foreign aid, we're increasing the foreign aid.

01:33:35.000 And this is a story from antiwar.com.

01:33:39.000 It says, quote, The deal includes 4,700 1,000-pound bombs worth more than $700 million,

01:33:59.000 $300 million worth of armored bulldozers, which the Israeli military will use to demolish homes and infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank.

01:34:09.000 The request for the new arms transfer.

01:34:13.000 It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington and set to meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday.

01:34:20.000 He is expected to push for U.S. support for Israel to restart its genocidal war in Gaza instead of fully implementing the ceasefire.

01:34:28.000 The Journal report said Netanyahu is also expecting Trump to push ahead with an $8 billion deal that Biden notified congressional leaders about in early January.

01:34:39.000 The report said some Democrats in Congress put a hold on the massive sale and that the Trump administration is now pushing Congress to unblock it.

01:34:48.000 The $8 billion deal includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters as well as artillery shells.

01:34:55.000 The administration also released a hold on a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.

01:35:01.000 Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal.

01:35:06.000 To get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire.

01:35:09.000 Trump's envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he's pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is fragile as Netanyahu does not want to implement the second phase.

01:35:22.000 So we now learn that the ceasefire, which went into effect a day before Trump was inaugurated, was only agreed upon.

01:35:35.000 Partially.

01:35:36.000 It's a three-phase deal.

01:35:39.000 It is supposed to point towards a permanent ceasefire, permanent cessation of hostilities and end to the war in Gaza.

01:35:47.000 We're now learning that Netanyahu only agreed to the first part, to the first out of three phases, which is 32 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a temporary ceasefire.

01:36:00.000 We're also learning new details, which is that Trump promised Israel up to $9 billion in weapons transfers, including attack helicopters, bulldozers, etc.

01:36:14.000 He promised to clear all of that through Congress to make the deal, which Netanyahu is expected to break.

01:36:23.000 He's coming.

01:36:24.000 Well, he's already here.

01:36:25.000 He's in Washington to meet with Trump tomorrow to push for Trump to open up all that aid.

01:36:32.000 And to allow him to keep fighting the war.

01:36:35.000 And by the way, we know that it's going in that direction because Trump has said in the Oval Office that the war will not end.

01:36:42.000 He said it's out of his control.

01:36:43.000 He said it's Israel's to finish. 0.95

01:36:46.000 And he said repeatedly that Israel should push all the Palestinians out of Gaza and into Jordan and Egypt.

01:36:54.000 Jordan and Egypt said, we're not taking the people.

01:36:56.000 Trump said, yeah, you are.

01:36:58.000 Today, a consortium of five Gulf countries came out with a statement and said, no, we are not taking the people.

01:37:04.000 Now Netanyahu and Trump are going to meet tomorrow.

01:37:08.000 Now you're going to see what this was all about and for whom since the very beginning.

01:37:16.000 People were really under the impression coming into January.

01:37:20.000 It's honestly the naivete, the stupidity.

01:37:24.000 It is shocking that people seriously thought Trump receiving $230 million from the Israel lobby, every Zionist from Bill Ackman to Ben Shapiro to Jacob Helberg to Netanyahu himself, all of them falling in line behind Trump and Vance for Trump to win in 2024, and they thought Trump was going to pull the Uno reverse card on his first day in office?

01:37:50.000 Actually, You're not going to get the settlements.

01:37:54.000 Actually, we're turning the tables.

01:37:57.000 Now you're going to make peace with Iran and Palestine and everything's going to be okay. 1.00

01:38:02.000 Who believed that?

01:38:04.000 Who fell for that? 0.98

01:38:05.000 Who really thought that it was that simple, that it was just over after that?

01:38:09.000 Obviously, it's not.

01:38:11.000 Because again, people hinge this argument on the deal that was made by Steve Whitcoff.

01:38:19.000 They never agreed to a permanent ceasefire.

01:38:22.000 They agreed to this fully intending, and by the way, saying publicly that they have guarantees when they resume the fighting later in the year.

01:38:32.000 Netanyahu and the other members of the coalition said, it's okay.

01:38:36.000 Don't worry.

01:38:38.000 We're going to break the agreement in 60 days.

01:38:41.000 They said, we have got guarantees from the administration.

01:38:43.000 They will back us when we reopen the fighting.

01:38:47.000 Later on in the year, when they get a refill, when they go and get rearmed by the United States, after Trump takes office, after Congress is sat, after they do their appropriations, and Israel gets $9 billion worth of munitions, helicopters, fighter jets, bulldozers, missiles, bombs, artillery, shells, then they're going to pick up the fighting again.

01:39:15.000 And it was obvious from the start.

01:39:17.000 So nobody can argue at this point, although I'm sure that they will, that this is anything other than business as usual.

01:39:26.000 There were reports that were disputed last week.

01:39:29.000 People said Trump is considering withdrawing from Syria.

01:39:33.000 He's offered the withdrawal.

01:39:36.000 Reporter asked Trump about it in the White House.

01:39:38.000 Trump said, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:39:40.000 I never said that.

01:39:41.000 He said, we're looking at it.

01:39:45.000 You take all of it together over the past two weeks of the presidency.

01:39:49.000 You take it all together after the past nine months, ten months, whatever, since about June.

01:39:56.000 It was so clear that we were headed in this direction, but it's either a willful ignorance or it's some sort of cover-up about what's really going on inside this administration.

01:40:07.000 So we will see.

01:40:09.000 The big question is what happens tomorrow.

01:40:12.000 Tomorrow is Trump's first meeting with a foreign leader.

01:40:16.000 It is Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, which is so funny.

01:40:20.000 You know, Marco Rubio, his first call as Secretary of State, Netanyahu.

01:40:26.000 Trump's first meeting after getting inaugurated with a foreign leader, Netanyahu.

01:40:32.000 John Thune, first call after becoming the Senate Majority Leader a couple months ago.

01:40:38.000 First call, Netanyahu.

01:40:41.000 Things are different, they say.

01:40:43.000 It's different this time.

01:40:45.000 Tomorrow, we'll see.

01:40:46.000 We can read the body language.

01:40:48.000 We'll listen to what's said.

01:40:49.000 There's going to be a meeting.

01:40:51.000 But I'll note that Netanyahu was the first foreign visit the first time, back in 2017. And it was interesting.

01:40:58.000 In their press conference, Trump tried to set an assertive tone.

01:41:02.000 Trump looked at Netanyahu and said, take it easy with the settlements.

01:41:06.000 He said, we don't agree, and we want you to stop doing the settlements.

01:41:12.000 And I saw that.

01:41:14.000 And I thought maybe things would be different.

01:41:16.000 And then Netanyahu authorized the biggest expansion of settlements since the 1967 war.

01:41:23.000 After Trump looked him in the face and said, stop with the settlements, Netanyahu went and expanded the settlements.

01:41:29.000 They named him after Trump.

01:41:31.000 They named the settlements after Trump.

01:41:34.000 That's what happened shortly thereafter.

01:41:37.000 So we'll have to see what happens tomorrow.

01:41:42.000 And we'll have to see if it has any resemblance to the first term.

01:41:47.000 And we'll be watching very closely.

01:41:48.000 It'll be an interesting show tomorrow because we'll get the results and maybe we'll have some idea of whether things really will be different this time.

01:41:55.000 But I'm not so optimistic.

01:41:56.000 There's some things that have been surprising, like I've said before.

01:42:01.000 Some of the personnel in the DOD. Although that's still a battle that's ongoing.

01:42:07.000 But that gives me a little bit of hope.

01:42:10.000 Makes me less pessimistic.

01:42:14.000 But when you see these statements that are coming out of the Oval Office every day about the conflict, when you see what is – it is a gathering storm in the Middle East.

01:42:25.000 Iran has rejected diplomacy with the United States.

01:42:28.000 Israel is carrying out operations in the Northwest Bank.

01:42:32.000 Trump and the Gulf countries are currently in an open dispute, although it is not receiving adequate coverage about whether there will be a population transfer of all the Palestinians out of Gaza and into Jordan and Egypt.

01:42:45.000 I don't know if people have been paying attention.

01:42:48.000 It's not on the front page.

01:42:49.000 It's not the top headline.

01:42:51.000 But there is an ongoing diplomatic dispute in the first two weeks Where Trump has said, we will force Jordan and Egypt to take all of the expelled Palestinians.

01:43:01.000 Is no one paying attention to that?

01:43:03.000 And now Trump is going to push through a giant aid package, probably using budget reconciliation.

01:43:10.000 Surely they'll be able to do it with a Republican-controlled House and Senate.

01:43:13.000 They'll bring it to the floor.

01:43:15.000 And which Democrat is going to vote against it?

01:43:18.000 Which Republican and which Democrat is going to be brave enough?

01:43:25.000 Maybe we'll get another strike from Iran that'll clear the gridlock a little bit. 0.98

01:43:31.000 So I'm a little bit anxious about what we're going to see tomorrow, and I think that is the next shoe to drop this year.

01:43:40.000 People are thinking, it's smooth sailing, it's our golden age, but you're already starting to see the cracks form.

01:43:47.000 And I don't think it's all negative.

01:43:49.000 I've been very clear about that.

01:43:50.000 I think that...

01:43:52.000 You know, for anybody that's going to accuse me of being one-sided, if you watch the show, I think I'm very fair.

01:43:57.000 I think I praise Trump when it is appropriate, and I believe that certain things will improve, but this is one area that I think people are not taking the risks seriously enough.

01:44:09.000 They're not looking at the trade-offs.

01:44:11.000 They're not paying attention to it because it is inconvenient.

01:44:14.000 Everybody wants to pretend that it's all going according to plan, and it is, but it's just not our plan.

01:44:21.000 So people are already counting out the possibility of a war with Iran and some of these other proposals, like the population transfer.

01:44:29.000 And it's too early for that.

01:44:32.000 But anyway, that's that.

01:44:33.000 I want to move on.

01:44:34.000 I want to get into the tariff war.

01:44:36.000 Like I said, this is one of the good things that Trump is doing that I actually support.

01:44:41.000 And the Trump administration, if nothing else, it is moving very quickly.

01:44:46.000 It is very dynamic, and I don't know about you, but there's a tangible feeling that things can change right now in the country.

01:44:54.000 It's hard to explain, but it felt like throughout the Obama years, throughout the first Trump and Biden administrations, it felt like nothing could or would ever change.

01:45:07.000 It felt like the West and the United States were on this trajectory, and it was going to be a slow, freezing death.

01:45:16.000 Of our country, where gradually we would be suffocated by diversity, political correctness, censorship, political persecution, like a mother smothering an infant in the crib.

01:45:28.000 We were going to be killed by this maternal nanny state, everybody's sensitivities and feelings and trigger warnings, wokeism, all that sort of stuff.

01:45:40.000 It felt like you could predict all of it.

01:45:44.000 Every day it was another black stormtrooper, another transgender Disney princess. 1.00

01:45:50.000 It was another regulation to destroy conservative nonprofits.

01:45:54.000 It was another gun grab, another white guy arrested for nothing.

01:45:59.000 It was always more of that, always increasing until the end of time.

01:46:04.000 And it felt like nothing could change that.

01:46:07.000 It felt like even if a nuclear bomb went off, even if we got hit with an asteroid, that nothing could...

01:46:13.000 Push us off of that trajectory.

01:46:16.000 And now, really in the span of a couple of weeks, I would say since Trump won the election, it feels like all of that has changed.

01:46:25.000 And credit words do.

01:46:27.000 That I do give Trump credit for.

01:46:31.000 And I think that that is a very positive, it's a very big and general and broad and universal change that is thanks to Trump.

01:46:43.000 This country feels like the Wild West.

01:46:46.000 And there's some risks that come with that, but it also feels like possibilities have been unlocked.

01:46:51.000 Like the government can become efficient.

01:46:55.000 Like the government can do things.

01:46:58.000 Like America can use its power.

01:47:00.000 We can get countries to respect us.

01:47:02.000 It feels like we can do things again.

01:47:05.000 And that, I'm grateful for.

01:47:06.000 That, I think, is very good.

01:47:07.000 And a huge part of this is the tariff regime.

01:47:10.000 Trump...

01:47:11.000 Using trade as a weapon to secure concessions.

01:47:16.000 And we've already seen that in four cases in two weeks.

01:47:19.000 We saw it first with Colombia.

01:47:23.000 Colombia refused military cargo planes full of expatriated illegal immigrants.

01:47:29.000 Trump threatened crushing sanctions that would go up to 50%.

01:47:33.000 Tiered sanctions enforced over the course of a week on all Colombian goods.

01:47:39.000 And the Colombian government crumbled in 20 minutes and said they would take the illegals with their own presidential plane.

01:47:46.000 Then today, the Panamanian government said that they would allow U.S. naval vessels to cross through the Panama Canal without charging them and that they were withdrawing from the Belt and Road Initiative, which is sponsored by China.

01:48:02.000 That's number two.

01:48:03.000 And then three and four came today, and we're going to cover that tonight.

01:48:06.000 Trump's tariff threats against Canada and Mexico have already yielded results in two days.

01:48:12.000 On Friday, Trump threatened a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico, a 10% tariff on China.

01:48:19.000 They went into effect on Saturday.

01:48:22.000 It caused major disruptions.

01:48:24.000 The crypto market tanked.

01:48:26.000 Bitcoin went down 17%.

01:48:28.000 Stock market went down basically every asset class other than gold.

01:48:38.000 By this morning, Mexico and Canada agreed to a deal with the United States to defer the implementation of the tariffs for another month.

01:48:47.000 And this is the story.

01:48:49.000 It says, quote, To postpone the imposition of hefty tariffs on goods exported to the United States.

01:49:02.000 Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after speaking twice by telephone with Mr. Trump, said U.S. tariffs on his country's goods would be postponed by 30 days as negotiations on a border deal took place.

01:49:15.000 That announcement came hours after Mexico negotiated a similar delay, agreeing to send thousands of troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

01:49:23.000 Earlier Monday, Mr. Trump said he would likely discuss the tariffs with China's leader Xi Jinping within the next 24 hours and described the 10% tariff that he planned to impose on Chinese imports as an opening salvo.

01:49:37.000 China was still preparing its response on Monday.

01:49:40.000 Its ambassador to the United Nations, Fu Chong, said that China was filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization over the tariffs and would consider retaliatory action.

01:49:52.000 So this is what Mexico and Canada agreed to.

01:49:55.000 Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 members of the Mexican National Guard to the US-Mexico border to interdict fentanyl and illegal migrants.

01:50:05.000 They would also establish high-level working groups with US officials on security and on trade.

01:50:12.000 Canada agreed to implement a spending plan at the border, which they had already launched in December, worth $900 million.

01:50:22.000 And that includes Black Hawk helicopters and 60 drones and other technical equipment deployed at the border.

01:50:29.000 They would also, under that spending plan, bolster personnel at the border, including 10,000 frontline personnel.

01:50:37.000 and they would redouble their effort to tackle the opioid crisis by establishing a new position for a fentanyl czar.

01:50:44.000 So they have postponed the implementation of the tariffs by 30 days, and Trump said they are going to continue to negotiate on a more structured economic plan with both countries.

01:50:58.000 Now, I have two reactions to this, which I will get into later.

01:51:04.000 First, something positive.

01:51:07.000 There's two things to me that I'm not happy with.

01:51:11.000 The positive aspect of all of this is that We are now in a multipolar world that is emerging.

01:51:23.000 There is no longer one pole or one locus or source of power in the world, on Earth. 0.94

01:51:32.000 You now have major regional powers that have their own attributes like Russia and China.

01:51:38.000 You have emerging middle powers like Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Ethiopia, South Africa, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, they're conducting an independent foreign policy.

01:51:52.000 They seem to be acting more like free agents interacting with both China and the United States than they are loyal to one bloc necessarily or at least to Washington.

01:52:04.000 And so now that we are in a multipolar world where there is great power competition and conflict, The United States has to use its power to shore up its alliances.

01:52:15.000 It needs to use its economic, trade, and military power to make these other countries work for us. 0.74

01:52:23.000 Panama is in our hemisphere.

01:52:25.000 We build the Panama Canal.

01:52:27.000 We dominate trade with countries like Panama and Colombia.

01:52:31.000 If they are ceding market share, if they're ceding trade, infrastructure, dual-use infrastructure to China, That's a problem.

01:52:42.000 And countries like that can't actually have the best of both worlds.

01:52:47.000 You can't have American security with Chinese credit. 1.00

01:52:51.000 You can't have China building dual-use infrastructure and facilities in your country, which could eventually be used as military facilities.

01:53:00.000 That's what dual use means.

01:53:02.000 You can't receive Chinese credit, which indebts you to Beijing while America protects you, while America provides for your domestic and international security.

01:53:14.000 You have to pick one.

01:53:16.000 And that's, in effect, what the United States is doing.

01:53:18.000 The United States is coming to Colombia and saying, you're a major non-treaty defense partner.

01:53:25.000 We helped you secure your country decades ago.

01:53:28.000 We're still your biggest trading partner.

01:53:31.000 If you want that relationship to continue, you're not going to dump your migrants.

01:53:36.000 We came to Panama and said the same thing.

01:53:39.000 We're bigger than you.

01:53:40.000 We're stronger than you.

01:53:41.000 You have no military without us.

01:53:43.000 We still dominate trade with you.

01:53:46.000 And if you want that to continue, if your regime wants to remain in power, then you're going to give us what we want.

01:53:51.000 And I think that by itself is very positive and good.

01:53:57.000 And that is what a serious great power does.

01:54:00.000 And I think that if that attitude prevails, then America can remain a great power in this century.

01:54:07.000 And I think we should.

01:54:08.000 We're Americans.

01:54:10.000 Our children will be Americans.

01:54:12.000 And if America is a powerful country, then we will have prosperity, or at least it will be accessible to us.

01:54:21.000 So I'm a major advocate for U.S. power.

01:54:24.000 I think we should have U.S. power in the world. 0.83

01:54:26.000 I think that's a good thing.

01:54:28.000 I also think it's a good thing that we're using tariffs.

01:54:31.000 Tariffs are a great way to get what we want. 1.00

01:54:33.000 They're a way to use trade as a weapon. 0.69

01:54:36.000 It's an alternative to regime change and special operations and these NGO State Department programs like USAID, which was cut.

01:54:45.000 That's another positive thing.

01:54:47.000 And they can be used unilaterally by the president, by the executive branch.

01:54:52.000 So this is another area where the president can claw back Power and authority from the rest of the government to actually carry out a coherent national policy.

01:55:03.000 It's very difficult for the United States to function as a great power when there's so much bureaucracy and gridlock and inefficiency.

01:55:13.000 If we can have a unitary executive, if we can have just one actor, one office with one initiative directing multiple facets of the government, maybe we can actually implement long-term plans and strategies and things that maybe we can actually implement long-term plans and strategies and things that might be unpopular But if there's leadership to see them through, can deliver gains for the countries.

01:55:40.000 So I think all of that is positive, and I do think that Trump has been swift and aggressive and extremely effective.

01:55:49.000 And for that, I have to give him credit.

01:55:51.000 Like I said, four trade wars in two weeks.

01:55:54.000 And he's four for four.

01:55:56.000 We got Colombia to take the illegals. 1.00

01:55:59.000 We got Panama to a draw from the BRI. We got Canada and Mexico to come to the negotiating table and agree to some concessions.

01:56:08.000 Here are my other reactions, my other two issues with this, however.

01:56:13.000 And the first one, I've said it before on the show, and I'm not trying to nitpick.

01:56:19.000 But there's two ways that you can look at tariffs.

01:56:23.000 And there are two ways that tariffs are looked at inside the Trump administration.

01:56:29.000 There are some people inside the Trump administration who are protectionists.

01:56:35.000 Ideologically, they reject free trade.

01:56:38.000 They think that free trade doesn't benefit our country.

01:56:41.000 They think it has impoverished our country.

01:56:43.000 It has sent all the good jobs overseas, all of the production, factories.

01:56:49.000 All of the important things that we should make, the industries that make us competitive in the future, and again, the things that make our country rich with goods and with money, we're sending all of that overseas because we don't actually have a robust trade policy that's built on a careful management of balance of payments,

01:57:14.000 of bilateral trade deals and with close monitoring and consideration of these emerging sectors of the economy and advanced manufacturing and certain specific supply chains.

01:57:27.000 So some people in the administration think that we need a very active government.

01:57:33.000 We need the federal government to manage the economy.

01:57:37.000 And that doesn't mean manage the personal checkbook of every person.

01:57:41.000 It doesn't mean taxing everybody.

01:57:43.000 It doesn't mean major social welfare programs.

01:57:46.000 It means steering research and development.

01:57:49.000 We know what the technologies of the future are.

01:57:52.000 We know, therefore, which industries will make us rich in the future.

01:57:57.000 So the government should steer subsidies, investment, tariffs and import duties to protect those industries and grow those industries and foster an entire ecosystem that makes America competitive in finished products that, again, will make us wealthy in the future.

01:58:16.000 Some people ideologically believe that the government can do that, should do that, it's advantageous to do that, and tariffs are going to be a massive part of executing that policy.

01:58:29.000 That's what some people believe.

01:58:31.000 There's other people inside the administration that reject all of that.

01:58:35.000 They don't believe in any of that.

01:58:38.000 They don't believe that tariffs are advantageous or good.

01:58:42.000 They don't believe that the government should be super active.

01:58:45.000 There are many people inside this administration who are free traders.

01:58:51.000 They think that we should let the currency float, that we should let the goods and services flow across the oceans, across the borders, and we should not manage it.

01:59:01.000 They think that tariffs are only useful, strictly speaking, as leverage.

01:59:07.000 That tariffs are meant to punish a country and really act more as a foreign policy tool than an economic tool.

01:59:14.000 And they're meant to extract political concessions from uncooperative nations, like what we just saw.

01:59:23.000 And you can see the contrast.

01:59:27.000 Trump didn't come into office and slap a 25% tariff on all goods across the board coming into the United States, which would be a robust tariff trade program.

01:59:40.000 He said...

01:59:42.000 I will put a 25% tariff on you unless.

01:59:47.000 It doesn't matter what we get.

01:59:49.000 Unless.

01:59:52.000 And if you meet our demands, whatever they may be, or maybe there aren't even concrete demands.

01:59:57.000 Maybe we're just looking for something.

01:59:59.000 It's a starting point.

02:00:00.000 But if the tariffs are not being imposed, then that means they're not part of a trade policy.

02:00:07.000 They're not part of a long-lasting...

02:00:10.000 Trade policy that is meant to foster economic growth in the United States, job creation, bringing certain industries and supply chains back to our shores.

02:00:21.000 Instead, they're meant as a threat, as a negotiating tactic, a bargaining chip, a bluff.

02:00:29.000 And I support them both.

02:00:32.000 I think it is effective to use it in the realm of foreign policy.

02:00:35.000 I think it is good to use it in the realm of foreign policy.

02:00:38.000 But we also need to use it for our economy.

02:00:42.000 And I'll give you, for people that say this is just criticism for the sake of criticism, I'll give you a very concrete example.

02:00:51.000 One of the major problems that we have had in the past few years is that Mexico... 1.00

02:00:57.000 Is dumping their steel into the United States.

02:01:01.000 They are dumping huge amounts of underpriced steel into America to hurt our domestic steel production.

02:01:09.000 And this is something that the Biden administration was working with Mexico to stop.

02:01:14.000 And Mexico was letting it happen in contravention of an agreement they had previously made.

02:01:19.000 They said, we will limit the amount of steel that we send into your country.

02:01:25.000 To protect American steel and they violated the agreement and they've been dumping.

02:01:30.000 And that was not part of the concessions.

02:01:33.000 So why did Trump slap a 25% tariff on Mexico and then agree to postpone it if it doesn't address dumping steel?

02:01:43.000 That's one of the most important things.

02:01:45.000 Trump wants to make steel in America.

02:01:47.000 He wants to make other things like copper and aluminum in America.

02:01:53.000 Why would he not secure some concession or some agreement on the steel?

02:02:01.000 Why would you let the tariff go if you didn't get that as part of the deal?

02:02:05.000 And why was that not talked about?

02:02:08.000 And so they've said that they're going to put together a more structured bilateral deal with Canada and Mexico related to the economy next month when the negotiations expire again.

02:02:20.000 And so maybe it's a matter of time.

02:02:22.000 I assume that's the case.

02:02:24.000 And maybe these tariffs are a starting point.

02:02:27.000 Maybe he had to put these down because this is classic Trump as a negotiating tool in itself.

02:02:35.000 Not just using tariffs, but being willing to slap them down without even giving a concrete demand in a very unpredictable way, very swiftly, announcing them on Friday, dropping them on Saturday, causing chaos.

02:02:50.000 It's a form of pressure.

02:02:52.000 This is a form of knocking the other side off balance, shock and awe, startling them, whatever you want to call it.

02:02:59.000 I think that even doing it in this way is to reset maybe the diplomacy between America and the USMCA participants, between America and its allies, and maybe even to send a message to China to say If we're willing to do this to Canada and Mexico, we will surely do this to the European Union and China.

02:03:21.000 And we saw this eight years ago.

02:03:24.000 When Trump got into office, the first thing he did, bomb ISIS, bomb Syria, tariffs on China.

02:03:31.000 And this is his MO. This is classic art of the deal, classic Trump.

02:03:36.000 You drop a ton of bricks on them.

02:03:38.000 You blow down the house of straw.

02:03:41.000 And you reset the diplomacy so they know who they're working with.

02:03:45.000 And then maybe they're more willing to negotiate or make concessions because they've seen red.

02:03:50.000 They've seen the bleeding.

02:03:52.000 If Trump drops 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and lets the stock market tank, lets Mexico and Canada panic because it would have been major disruption to the auto industry, to the construction industry, to everything.

02:04:10.000 This would have been majorly disruptive.

02:04:12.000 Even the China tariff is still majorly disruptive.

02:04:15.000 If he's willing to do that, then they know who they're dealing with.

02:04:18.000 And maybe that's the goal.

02:04:20.000 Maybe that's part of why he did it in this way.

02:04:23.000 But I would like to say at the very beginning that if Trump does not implement a robust all-in-one industrial policy by the end of the term, I consider that a major failure.

02:04:36.000 And by a full industrial policy all in one, I mean not just tariffs and import duties, but we need research and development.

02:04:45.000 We need subsidies.

02:04:47.000 We need to actively manage investment and trade in the United States so that we can build an ecosystem that makes semiconductors.

02:04:57.000 The CHIPS Act was a good first step, but it wasn't enough.

02:05:00.000 We need to bring a lot of that stuff into our country.

02:05:04.000 And in order to do that, it requires infrastructure spending.

02:05:08.000 It requires R&D spending, subsidies, investment, as well as import duties.

02:05:13.000 There has to be all kinds of things done.

02:05:16.000 Bilateral agreements with other countries.

02:05:18.000 There needs to be a complete change in how the United States conducts its trade policy.

02:05:24.000 And I hope that this is just what Trump said, which is an opening salvo.

02:05:28.000 I hope this is just the beginning.

02:05:30.000 But it cannot just be used as an attack on other countries for the sake of a short-term concession because a lot of this just sounds like bullshit.

02:05:39.000 I mean, what Canada agreed to was something they had already put in place.

02:05:46.000 What Mexico agreed to really doesn't change anything.

02:05:50.000 It's similar to what he did in June 2019 when he used the threat of tariffs to get Mexico to secure their southern border.

02:05:57.000 It's good.

02:05:58.000 I mean, there are good concessions, but at the end of the day, they're not significant.

02:06:05.000 So he won.

02:06:07.000 No doubt about it.

02:06:08.000 He won this dispute.

02:06:09.000 But the question is, what's his endgame?

02:06:13.000 At the end of four years, where will we be?

02:06:15.000 Will it just be these concessions from a handful of countries that may expire?

02:06:20.000 The abuses will start again with the new administration.

02:06:25.000 Or is this the beginning of building a real and coherent and comprehensive industrial policy?

02:06:32.000 Because it should absolutely be the latter.

02:06:35.000 And if he could do that, that would be, in my opinion, fulfilling one of the major pillars of Trumpism.

02:06:44.000 It would be massive.

02:06:46.000 The three pillars were pulling Assad in the Middle East and reducing our footprint abroad.

02:06:53.000 ending illegal immigration and reducing immigration overall, and then industrial policy, implementing a tariff regime.

02:07:00.000 If he could do the tariff regime, that would be like one out of three major pillars, revolutionary transformative pillars of Trumpism fulfilled, manifested.

02:07:12.000 So I hope that we do see that, and I have actually more confidence that he'll do that than the other two.

02:07:17.000 I have more confidence that he'll do that than anything else because I think the leadership in the United States, the elites, I think they actually have had a change of heart because the Biden administration continued those policies.

02:07:32.000 So they must have thought they were a good idea.

02:07:34.000 Trump changed the free trade doctrine, implemented tariffs on China, EU, Canada, Mexico, really transformed things or at the minimum destroyed the free trade consensus.

02:07:47.000 Biden came in and continued all of that.

02:07:50.000 Chips Act, infrastructure bill.

02:07:52.000 Inflation Reduction Act, he actually crippled Europe to help the United States.

02:07:57.000 You can actually thank Biden for crippling the EU economy and forcing them with incentives and subsidies and tax credits and energy to move everything into the United States.

02:08:11.000 Like, if you really understand what took place after the Ukraine war, the Ukraine war increased us at the expense of the European Union, thanks to the IRA, thanks to Biden.

02:08:23.000 And that was the continuation of those Trump-era policies.

02:08:27.000 And now if Trump continues them further, that's 12 years.

02:08:31.000 And it's inadequate so far, but it's far better than what we had before.

02:08:37.000 That's 12 years of soft protectionism.

02:08:41.000 So that's pretty exciting.

02:08:44.000 Now, the second thing I was going to say is, and I alluded to it already, But I actually don't know what concessions specifically he wanted, if he wanted anything here.

02:08:54.000 For example, on Canada, one of the major concessions he extracted was a fentanyl czar.

02:09:02.000 And that Canada would interdict more drugs at their border.

02:09:07.000 But Canada is responsible for a small fraction of the fentanyl that comes over the southern border.

02:09:14.000 And I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it's quite literally like one-tenth or one-one-hundredth the amount of fentanyl that comes over our northern border that comes over our southern border.

02:09:25.000 And obviously immigration is far worse at the southern border too.

02:09:31.000 So Trump was going to put a 25% tariff on Canada, majorly disruptive, in order to get them to...

02:09:40.000 To recommit to a program they had already passed in December to interdict more drugs, even though fentanyl doesn't really come from Canada as much as it does from Mexico or from China.

02:09:54.000 So it seems that the purpose of this whole, understanding that, the purpose of this whole thing was maybe more political in nature.

02:10:06.000 Than it is, strictly speaking, economic or related to the drugs themselves.

02:10:12.000 It seems that this was more of a gesture and more of a performance than it was about the concessions in themselves.

02:10:20.000 Because if you watch the press conference, Trump said, I have no demands.

02:10:24.000 I actually don't want anything from Canada and Mexico.

02:10:28.000 He said, we're just doing it.

02:10:30.000 And then he agreed to postpone them today, really getting not...

02:10:34.000 Like I said, not addressing some of the actual trade, outstanding trade issues, but instead getting these symbolic concessions.

02:10:45.000 And so maybe the whole purpose of it was just to go through the motions to demonstrate a willingness to actually put down a major sanction or a major tariff so that going forward, Canada and Mexico might be more...

02:11:01.000 Cooperative in negotiations.

02:11:02.000 That's the only thing that I can think of.

02:11:04.000 Unless there was some other agreement made.

02:11:07.000 But I think it's more likely that it's the former.

02:11:10.000 So those are the tariffs.

02:11:12.000 Pretty good stuff.

02:11:14.000 I have to say, this Trump administration, you know me, I have my criticisms.

02:11:18.000 I'm very concerned about some things.

02:11:22.000 Illegal immigration, H-1Bs, the conflict in the Middle East, even the conflict in Ukraine. 0.83

02:11:30.000 I'm worried about our penetration of the government by the CIA venture capital people.

02:11:36.000 So I have my reservations, but what I will say is that, to their credit, they are working very quickly.

02:11:44.000 They're working very fast, very aggressively.

02:11:47.000 What Musk is doing in the bureaucracy is unbelievable.

02:11:51.000 I'm honestly shocked.

02:11:53.000 I'm terrified.

02:11:54.000 In a good way, though.

02:11:56.000 Things that you never thought were possible.

02:11:59.000 The idea that a capitalist, and let's just say ostensibly, a capitalist is moving into Washington, moving into the bureaucracy, and just gutting it the way that he is.

02:12:12.000 Getting access to this data, which I'm suspicious of, but getting access to it.

02:12:19.000 And anybody that protests is being fired, government websites being taken offline, people being told don't come back to work, severance packages, they're cutting through the bureaucracy in a way that I never thought was possible.

02:12:32.000 It felt like yesterday, the USAID, these NGOs, the State Department, the blob, it felt like yesterday, it was this Kafkaesque fixture, just like the blob in the basement of Chernobyl.

02:12:49.000 It felt like it was this unmovable object, like it was never going to move, like it could never change, like it was there since the beginning of the world.

02:12:57.000 You had this foreign policy blob, this bureaucratic blob, and nothing could ever touch it.

02:13:03.000 It was just covered in layers of redundancy and political cover and patronage, and it seemed like yesterday, That's just how it is, how it would always be.

02:13:14.000 And then today, it's like, nope, their Twitter account's disabled, their website is offline, and anyone that has a problem with it has been fired.

02:13:22.000 They're cutting all the spending, cutting all the personnel, everybody's going.

02:13:28.000 And they're talking about challenging it in court, and they're cutting so fast.

02:13:33.000 They're moving more quickly than the courts, because that was the problem in the first term.

02:13:37.000 Trump would do something, it would be too little too late, and then the courts would throw up a roadblock, and then everybody would say, oh well, that's all we could do.

02:13:48.000 And now between Trump with trade and diplomacy, Elon in Washington, it just seems like months have gone by in weeks.

02:13:59.000 Trump has been president for two weeks, and yet it feels like a year.

02:14:02.000 Trump won two months ago.

02:14:05.000 Well, roughly three, three full months ago, and it feels like he won 20 years ago.

02:14:11.000 It feels like it's been, that's been how it is for a long time.

02:14:15.000 That's how it feels.

02:14:17.000 And maybe the hope, and this is what Andrew Tate said on our election stream.

02:14:23.000 He said, maybe the hope, aside from the details and the people that are there now who may or may not be suspicious, he said what it will do is energize the young people.

02:14:35.000 He said it'll make the young men more masculine, more energetic.

02:14:39.000 It'll make them believe in America.

02:14:42.000 And he said that will have a generational effect.

02:14:44.000 And I agreed with him then.

02:14:45.000 And I think that is one of the major positives.

02:14:48.000 So we have to be of a balanced mind about these things.

02:14:54.000 It can't all just be, hey, you know, look, these things are very concerning that are going on.

02:15:01.000 At the same time...

02:15:03.000 In a world where you can only have one alternative or another, is it better to have venture capitalists in charge or piece of shit fat feminists? 1.00

02:15:17.000 Clearly, in some ways, the latter.

02:15:20.000 At the same time, if they're opposed to us, it makes them a far more aggressive and competent adversary.

02:15:26.000 Who would you rather fight?

02:15:28.000 You know, so on the one hand...

02:15:31.000 Yes, it's going, maybe it could awaken the country and maybe it could energize the country.

02:15:35.000 On the other hand, if these people hate white nationalists and hate anti-Semites, which they do, they're a far more competent opponent than the fat libschitz and the fat brown women on the other side of the deep state. 0.87

02:15:53.000 So we have to have a balanced perspective.

02:15:56.000 It's important to consider a lot of different perspectives because for what it's worth, this is a period of reorientation for everybody, for the left, for the dissonant right.

02:16:10.000 An upset election happened.

02:16:12.000 We have to be honest about the gravity of what happened in November.

02:16:16.000 It was an upset.

02:16:17.000 Something has changed.

02:16:19.000 The country was all against Trump.

02:16:21.000 Now they're not.

02:16:22.000 We can talk about why that is.

02:16:24.000 We can be suspicious of it, but something changed.

02:16:26.000 And now everybody has to pick up the pieces after the old way of thinking was completely shattered.

02:16:32.000 The old way of thinking, the old plans, mental model.

02:16:38.000 Of what we're doing, of what the left is doing, of what the right is doing.

02:16:41.000 It's all been shattered after November, and everybody now has to pick up the pieces and first figure out what has happened and the new reality, but also figure out what we're going to be doing in the midst of all this.

02:16:55.000 And that's why in this time, on the one hand, many of my predictions are coming true.

02:17:02.000 These are things that are, you know, short-term predictions.

02:17:07.000 At the same time, I've been very ambivalent.

02:17:13.000 I've been a little bit, I don't want to say confused, but I've been a little bit more open-minded about things that are positive and negative.

02:17:21.000 People have accused me of flip-flopping.

02:17:23.000 I don't think I've been flip-flopping.

02:17:24.000 I think I've been saying things that are true.

02:17:26.000 I try to say things that are true.

02:17:29.000 And so the things that I'm concerned about, the negative things, I'm concerned about.

02:17:36.000 The things that I've praised, the positive things, they make me a little more optimistic.

02:17:40.000 But, you know, I'm sort of of two minds about it.

02:17:43.000 And, you know, for somebody like myself, who has on the one hand been victimized by many of these people and actually persecuted by these people, obviously I can't be a complete cheerleader.

02:17:54.000 If they're trying to tie the noose around anti-Semites, well, who the fuck do you think that is, you know?

02:18:00.000 So I can't cheerlead an administration that's...

02:18:04.000 Crushing criticism of Jews in Israel and is backed by Israel and is run by CIA agents that disavowed me for speaking on Israel.

02:18:13.000 At the same time, ostensibly they are more right-wing than what came before.

02:18:21.000 And as a rightist, we have to point out some of the positive features of that.

02:18:26.000 So, like I said, I'm up to two minds on this and I think we have to have at least in this.

02:18:34.000 Transitional period, when everybody's kind of collecting themselves and reeling a little bit from November, this is a time where we really do need to assume a new form.

02:18:48.000 If we don't, we will be irrelevant, really.

02:18:53.000 If we, in other words, stick to the same playbook, the same...

02:18:57.000 The same treatment of the topics.

02:18:59.000 It's going to sound like these boomers talking about communism from the 80s.

02:19:03.000 This is a new era.

02:19:04.000 We have to adapt for the new political reality, which is easier said than done because there's a lot of mystery.

02:19:10.000 There's a lot of ambiguities about all this.

02:19:12.000 There's a lot of uncertainty still.

02:19:16.000 That's a time we have to ask more questions, actually.

02:19:18.000 The questions are more important sometimes than the answers.

02:19:21.000 But anyway, so that's that.

02:19:23.000 I want to move on.

02:19:24.000 I want to take a look at our Super Chats.

02:19:26.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

02:19:30.000 We'll see.

02:19:31.000 Like I said, sort of a mixed bag tonight.

02:19:33.000 On the one hand, Joe Kent gets...

02:19:36.000 Why is he getting nominated?

02:19:38.000 He's a loser.

02:19:39.000 He lost.

02:19:40.000 He lost.

02:19:42.000 I thought we defeated you.

02:19:45.000 You know, we beat him twice.

02:19:47.000 We beat him once.

02:19:48.000 I didn't really oppose him the second time.

02:19:52.000 We beat him once.

02:19:53.000 He lost again on his own damn self, on his own damn accord.

02:19:58.000 Then they give him a job anyway?

02:20:00.000 What the fuck is that?

02:20:02.000 And here's the other thing I want to say.

02:20:05.000 I want people like Laura Loomer and John Doyle and Patrick Casey.

02:20:12.000 I want them to really, really let it soak in there that Darren Beattie got a job and you didn't.

02:20:21.000 I really want you to drink that up.

02:20:25.000 Darren Beattie got a job and you didn't.

02:20:30.000 What does that tell you?

02:20:32.000 All the shilling, all the corralling, all of the, all of that.

02:20:39.000 And you have nothing to show for it.

02:20:44.000 You have nothing.

02:20:46.000 You have been cast aside because you are not a player.

02:20:51.000 All of that apologism, all of that coping and Trump cheerleading and you will not get anything.

02:21:01.000 Keep posting YouTube videos to get 30,000 views.

02:21:05.000 You have nothing.

02:21:07.000 Okay?

02:21:08.000 Like these people back in 2021, 2022, I stuck with radicalism.

02:21:15.000 They tried a different approach.

02:21:17.000 Who has benefited more?

02:21:19.000 Who benefited more from radicalism?

02:21:22.000 Or who benefited more from radicalism or those that went the way of people that capitulated?

02:21:29.000 Who benefited more?

02:21:31.000 They're not getting jobs.

02:21:33.000 As far as I know, they're not really getting dealt in.

02:21:36.000 And they will remain a junior partner until the day that they die.

02:21:42.000 And, you know, more on that maybe another time, but it's pretty crazy.

02:21:47.000 People like Darren are getting in.

02:21:49.000 People like, you know, the stupid Goyim that promoted him left in the dust. 0.92

02:21:54.000 All right, but let's take a look.

02:21:55.000 We'll read our super chats.

02:21:57.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

02:22:00.000 Let's see.

02:22:01.000 Ethiopian growth percent, $5.

02:22:03.000 An America first policy would also be hostility towards the Saudis. 0.53

02:22:06.000 All of the Islamic fundamentalism, Salafis, which influences all the migrants in the West comes from the Saudis, not Iran. 0.70

02:22:10.000 But Shabbos going Muslims are allowed to do terrorism. 1.00

02:22:12.000 I don't agree with like hostility, but definitely it wouldn't be as friendly as it is because you're right about that.

02:22:23.000 ISIS, Al-Qaeda, all that stuff does come from Saudi clerics, Wahhabist clerics.

02:22:29.000 - Ronnie Ronnie sent $10, goat. - Thank you. - NJF goat sent $10, Nick, why are you so manipulative and dangerous?

02:22:36.000 Is it their teachings and cult year that corrupts them? - I like the little word play in there.

02:22:40.000 That shows me really intelligent.

02:22:43.000 It's because their father is the devil.

02:22:46.000 They are people that reject Jesus Christ.

02:22:49.000 They hate Jesus Christ.

02:22:51.000 Why do you think it is that they seem to be the most influential but also the most corrupt morally?

02:22:58.000 It's because they don't know Jesus.

02:23:00.000 They don't know the father because they don't know the son.

02:23:04.000 And so for thousands of years, they have been practicing this Pharisaical Talmudic religion. 0.72

02:23:11.000 It is explicitly against Jesus Christ.

02:23:14.000 It is against Jesus' teachings.

02:23:18.000 And so they have substituted for Jesus the law.

02:23:22.000 You know, Jesus fulfilled the law.

02:23:24.000 His person fulfilled the law.

02:23:26.000 They worshiped the law.

02:23:27.000 And the law is connected to their covenant.

02:23:32.000 And it has transmuted itself into this form of racial idolatry.

02:23:37.000 You know, instead of worshiping goodness and the word and the law itself, what it became, which was Jesus, what it became incarnate as, it is turned and diverted in a different direction where now they worship themselves.

02:23:52.000 They worship the Jewish people because they received the covenant, because they received the law, but it never belonged to them. 0.61

02:24:03.000 You know, they were the custodians.

02:24:05.000 They were the vehicle.

02:24:07.000 But the word belonged to everybody.

02:24:11.000 And goodness belonged to everybody.

02:24:14.000 And that's what Jesus said.

02:24:17.000 You know, it's a new covenant.

02:24:20.000 And I feel like they, I mean, at the end of the day, fundamentally, that's the difference.

02:24:27.000 That's where this chosen thing comes from.

02:24:29.000 That's why their lives matter more than ours.

02:24:31.000 That's why.

02:24:33.000 You know, they have all these special exceptions on everything.

02:24:39.000 They get to be racist.

02:24:41.000 They get to be fascist.

02:24:42.000 They get to have all the privilege in the world and no one can criticize them.

02:24:49.000 They get to have their own courts, their own doctors, their own police, their own restaurants, their own country, their own everything.

02:25:01.000 Yeah, so I think that all comes from this, like, racial idolatry.

02:25:09.000 Glad you like that.

02:25:15.000 Thank you.

02:25:18.000 Yeah, it's the audacity of these people like J.D. Vance to even say that with a straight face.

02:25:25.000 You read a Thanksgiving with 20 Indian people and you're talking about Ordo Amoris?

02:25:32.000 Bros at a Thanksgiving—and by the way, these weren't Amerindians. 0.92

02:25:38.000 They were Indians from the Indian subcontinent.

02:25:41.000 You're at a Thanksgiving dinner.

02:25:43.000 Thanksgiving is an American holiday.

02:25:46.000 You're at your Thanksgiving dinner with 25 ethnic Indians from the subcontinent of India talking about— Ordo Amoris?

02:25:53.000 Well, you see, there's this principle that first we love our own, then we can take care of others.

02:25:58.000 You just got done with your Thanksgiving with 30 Indians. 1.00

02:26:01.000 Your wife is Indian.

02:26:02.000 Your kids are Indian.

02:26:04.000 But tell us more about the order.

02:26:06.000 And tell us more about those concentric circles.

02:26:09.000 I mean, give me a break.

02:26:11.000 How do people even say that with a straight face?

02:26:13.000 I've heard that.

02:26:19.000 Is there anything new about that?

02:26:20.000 I haven't heard about it in a minute.

02:26:22.000 But yeah, I mean, if they do that, I'll make an account.

02:26:26.000 Hashtag, really?

02:26:39.000 I don't know.

02:26:41.000 This whole super chat's giving me the ick, but yeah.

02:26:43.000 Awoken American sent $5.

02:26:44.000 Do you have any thoughts on the...

02:26:45.000 Yeah, well, he said it was me and this black guy, Jamar.

02:26:50.000 We were both, we were in this session and we were brainstorming and I was really doing a good job and Jamar was trying to one-up me.

02:27:00.000 And Ye goes...

02:27:01.000 Both of you guys, he's like, this is like when I was working on Life of Pablo and like Kendrick and Drake, because they both rapped and worked on Life of Pablo.

02:27:09.000 He's like, who's this?

02:27:11.000 And Stiko goes, church, because he don't know.

02:27:14.000 He was out to lunch.

02:27:15.000 And yeah, he goes, no, no, Kendrick or Drake.

02:27:17.000 And I was like, can I be Kendrick?

02:27:20.000 No, you're Drake.

02:27:23.000 And yeah, I took it as a compliment because he does love Drake.

02:27:26.000 He does.

02:27:27.000 He's like frenemies with Drake.

02:27:29.000 Because on the one hand, he thinks Drake is corny and they have this rivalry, but he also has massive respect and he actually likes his music.

02:27:37.000 So I took it as a major compliment.

02:27:40.000 He was very complimentary toward me.

02:27:43.000 We did vibe.

02:27:44.000 We had a connection for sure.

02:27:48.000 So hey, if he wants to run in 2028, I'll be there.

02:27:51.000 We just...

02:27:52.000 We gotta put some clothes on.

02:27:53.000 You know, I know it's a birthday party.

02:27:55.000 We don't gotta all be naked, okay?

02:27:57.000 Birthday suit, birthday party.

02:27:59.000 Why don't we just put our clothes on, you know?

02:28:02.000 I love Ye.

02:28:03.000 I will always love Ye.

02:28:05.000 I just wish there was a little less nudity.

02:28:08.000 That's just me.

02:28:08.000 I just wish we would all...

02:28:10.000 I think his wife is very beautiful.

02:28:12.000 There's no doubt about that.

02:28:13.000 She's got an unbelievable body. 1.00

02:28:15.000 She's gorgeous.

02:28:17.000 But that should really just be between a husband and wife, I think.

02:28:21.000 That's just my opinion, though.

02:28:25.000 But yeah, I'll always love him.

02:28:27.000 I don't agree with some of that, but I'll always love him as a guy.

02:28:32.000 I think he's a good guy.

02:28:35.000 He's a good person.

02:28:36.000 Awoken American sent $5.

02:28:37.000 Do you have any thoughts on the Chosen series?

02:28:39.000 I have heard a lot about it, but I basically reject anything coming out these days.

02:28:41.000 I don't know.

02:28:42.000 I haven't seen it.

02:28:44.000 I've heard people say it's good.

02:28:45.000 I've heard people say it's liberal.

02:28:47.000 Beep Boop sent $100.

02:28:48.000 Do you think the conservative attack on universities is a good thing?

02:28:50.000 A major part of Western university education is the deconstruction of the social order, not in the sense of agreement or disagreement, but as a critical realization that it is not static.

02:28:56.000 The extreme left and right both recognize this but reach different conclusions.

02:28:59.000 Critical thinking is not only left wing.

02:29:00.000 You're doing too much.

02:29:06.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

02:29:08.000 I appreciate it.

02:29:09.000 What are you talking about?

02:29:11.000 I think that...

02:29:12.000 I don't know what you mean when you say a conservative attack on the universities.

02:29:16.000 Do you mean defunding them from the federal government or do you mean activists telling people not to go to them?

02:29:25.000 I also disagree about this deconstruct.

02:29:28.000 I don't know what the fuck you're saying about deconstructing the social order that you're doing too much with that.

02:29:33.000 Trying to shove 10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag with this take.

02:29:38.000 And you're not even...

02:29:41.000 I mean, what you're saying doesn't even—you're not explaining what you mean by that.

02:29:46.000 So I have no idea what you're trying to say.

02:29:49.000 You should just try and keep it simple for your sake.

02:29:55.000 I think that—no, I support the universities, and I think people should go to them, if that's what you mean.

02:30:01.000 When people say you should just become a plumber or an electrician, look, those are good jobs.

02:30:06.000 No one can dispute.

02:30:08.000 Those are actually good jobs right now.

02:30:11.000 Electricians are in huge demand.

02:30:12.000 The trades are in huge demand, and they get paid a lot of money, and there's no shortage of work for them, and they make a really good living.

02:30:19.000 There are many millionaires that are plumbers and electricians.

02:30:24.000 Contractors make a ton of money these days.

02:30:27.000 So no doubt about it, it's a good job.

02:30:29.000 The thing is, if you want to get into the halls of power, you've got to go to college.

02:30:36.000 Unfortunately, they're hiring lawyers.

02:30:41.000 You know, they're hiring specialists with real technical skills.

02:30:45.000 And it's not to say that I have immense respect for the trades.

02:30:48.000 People say I hate working class people.

02:30:50.000 I hate service workers.

02:30:52.000 I hate drive-thru people.

02:30:56.000 I hate a lot of these people that half-ass their job when I order Taco Bell DoorDash and they fuck up my order.

02:31:02.000 I hate that.

02:31:03.000 I hate a lot, you know, people that are on drugs or falling asleep when you're in the drive-thru.

02:31:08.000 I hate that.

02:31:09.000 I have a lot of respect for tradesmen.

02:31:11.000 I always have.

02:31:13.000 And it's a good job.

02:31:15.000 But if you want a political revolution, we need a cadre of professional revolutionaries.

02:31:22.000 And the professional classes that will wind up in those positions are lawyers, this day and age, business people, people in finance, people in business.

02:31:40.000 And people with tech expertise, people with computer knowledge, and not so much of anything else.

02:31:48.000 So people go to school and they're being told to be an electrician.

02:31:52.000 I mean, that's great, but what's the pathway for an electrician to meet a billionaire?

02:31:58.000 What's the pathway for an electrician to become a senator?

02:32:01.000 It's not as clear-cut as these other ones.

02:32:03.000 You don't make the same connections.

02:32:06.000 There is a social order.

02:32:08.000 There is an elite social order.

02:32:10.000 There is a distinct elite class.

02:32:12.000 You do have to go to the universities to get into it.

02:32:15.000 It is a big club.

02:32:17.000 And to get into it, you need to go to a selective school.

02:32:20.000 You need to be a lawyer.

02:32:21.000 It's just what you need to do.

02:32:22.000 And, you know, so it actually doesn't help us when Charlie Kirk is telling all these really intelligent young people like, hey, go be a plumber.

02:32:31.000 It's a good job for a lot of people, but if you're super high IQ... And you want to be a revolutionary, you got to go to university.

02:32:38.000 Just where it's happening.

02:32:43.000 They own every tech company.

02:32:45.000 And it's a form of penetrating our society.

02:32:50.000 recommendations nick i want to learn more about this subject what should i do like bro just watch the show these kids just expect you to hand them a fucking packet yo okay don't yeah i don't need you to glaze me jesus king sent five dollars if anyone debates you on slavery in the bible jesus answers matthew chapter 19 moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard those laws in leviticus like divorce were not god's ideal but he slowly works with our hard hearts true omega friend sent five dollars in 2019 when the brenton terry True. 0.89

02:33:12.000 Well, what do you mean deep into it?

02:33:17.000 It was six years ago, so I don't really remember a ton of it.

02:33:20.000 I read the manifesto.

02:33:21.000 He never talked about Jewish people.

02:33:22.000 That was weird.

02:33:23.000 They never do.

02:33:52.000 So in many cases, it's not direct.

02:33:55.000 And in the cases where it is, a lot of those billionaires are liberal and they oppose the Netanyahu government.

02:34:01.000 They actually support a two-state solution.

02:34:03.000 Like Soros and Netanyahu are against each other.

02:34:06.000 But Soros is in favor of unlimited immigration.

02:34:09.000 Like they oppose Netanyahu because he's supporting right-wing parties in Israel or rather in Europe.

02:34:16.000 He's supporting Trump in the United States.

02:34:21.000 You know, just because Jewish people are competing with each other in the realm of politics doesn't mean it's not Jewish-controlled, you know? 0.80

02:34:31.000 Like, most of these Palestinian groups are super liberal, and I don't necessarily align with them. 1.00

02:34:36.000 Like, a lot of them are coming from very left-wing groups, and that's for a reason.

02:35:05.000 So I didn't vote.

02:35:07.000 But thank you for the huge super chat.

02:35:08.000 I appreciate it.

02:35:09.000 Is that what you're talking about?

02:35:11.000 That's the only flag I could think of that you vote for.

02:35:14.000 They redesigned the Illinois flag.

02:35:16.000 Each one is worse than the last.

02:35:18.000 They all look terrible.

02:35:21.000 So I think they took the current one and one of them added Stripes.

02:35:25.000 I think I would vote for the current one or that one, but I didn't vote.

02:36:39.000 Just trust me.

02:36:40.000 You know, you want to retain your relationship with your parents.

02:36:50.000 Some parents will kick you out.

02:36:52.000 You know your situation.

02:36:53.000 This is not an advice column.

02:36:55.000 I have no idea.

02:36:56.000 I really detest people that ask for advice.

02:37:00.000 If you ask for a device, that is a filter by itself.

02:37:04.000 Because asking for advice for something like that...

02:37:07.000 You have to presume that I would know more about your parents than you do.

02:37:12.000 How would I know about your parents more than you do?

02:37:15.000 They're your parents.

02:37:17.000 How do I know about what goes on in your fucking house?

02:37:20.000 You're going to send me a 100-character message and think I'm going to know all the facts and I'm going to have a better idea than you will about what will happen?

02:37:30.000 Look, fix your own fucking problems.

02:37:33.000 Be a fucking man.

02:37:35.000 I just, you know, that's the only advice I could give you.

02:37:39.000 Be a man.

02:37:40.000 If, you know, people are so helpless these days.

02:37:43.000 It reminds me of when I was in school.

02:37:45.000 When I was in school, everybody always raising their hands.

02:37:47.000 Um, well, what is this?

02:37:50.000 Well, what is that?

02:37:51.000 It's called self-directed study.

02:37:53.000 Can you answer your own questions or are you just like a helpless idiot, like a helpless stupid baby or a fucking girl? 0.98

02:38:04.000 Oh, I want to tell them I'm a Groyper. 0.96

02:38:07.000 Why?

02:38:07.000 Why the fuck do you want to tell your parents you're a Groyper?

02:38:10.000 Why?

02:38:11.000 Why?

02:38:12.000 I don't get it.

02:38:14.000 You know, and if they, if you know they're not going to take it well, don't fucking tell them.

02:38:19.000 If you think they're not going to care, then tell them.

02:38:23.000 Is that rocket science?

02:38:27.000 Jeez.

02:38:28.000 Fat Duck sent $10.

02:38:29.000 I really wasn't ready to open X and CA's naked wife. 0.87

02:38:31.000 Yeah.

02:38:34.000 It's kind of sad because I like Ye because he's a versatile artist and he's very thoughtful.

02:38:44.000 And stunts like that, it is just like an attention-getting stunt.

02:38:49.000 He knows how to get attention.

02:38:50.000 There's better ways to get attention than just nudity, you know, than just smut. 0.95

02:38:57.000 So...

02:38:58.000 You know, you look at that and you're like, come on, man.

02:39:00.000 Even these lyrics in Vultures, all the lyrics are about blowjobs and anal.

02:39:06.000 It's like, can we write something better?

02:39:09.000 What happened to Jesus as King?

02:39:11.000 What happened to, you know, he was a Trump supporter.

02:39:15.000 Then he was only going to make music for the church.

02:39:17.000 Then he was a Nazi. 0.85

02:39:19.000 And then it's just like total degeneracy.

02:39:22.000 So I wish he would focus up and be what humanity needs him to be.

02:39:32.000 The beatings will continue until Morell improves.

02:39:34.000 F1 Groyper sent $20.

02:39:36.000 I never really get the urge to rewatch the Batman 22 like I do with the Dark Knight trilogy.

02:39:39.000 Everything after the Riddler turns himself in is just kind of boring to me.

02:39:42.000 Watching the first hour of Batman begins always makes me want to grow the Liam Neeson Roz Al Ghul goatee.

02:39:45.000 Okay.

02:39:47.000 Thank you for sharing your completely inane, like anyone gives a shit, I never really liked watching the Batman.

02:39:54.000 Why are you telling me this?

02:39:55.000 You paid me $20 to tell me this?

02:39:58.000 You gave me $20 to tell me your shower thought about Batman and how when you watch it, you feel all jazzed up?

02:40:08.000 When I watch Batman, I want to imitate the characters in the movie.

02:40:13.000 What is this, a fucking water cooler?

02:40:16.000 Yeah, me too, man.

02:40:17.000 It was awesome.

02:40:18.000 What is wrong with you people? - Lament for Constantinople sent $10.

02:40:29.000 Should the great schism of 1054 end? 0.59

02:41:02.000 No message.

02:41:05.000 Thanks.

02:41:11.000 But when it comes to the Catholic faith, how can you condemn good Catholics for disagreeing with you on the disputed questions like the limits of papal infallibility and ultramontanism?

02:41:18.000 What?

02:41:18.000 Dude, I'm Catholic, okay?

02:41:21.000 I love when all these converts are like, but what about ultramontanism? 0.67

02:41:28.000 Anybody who's talking about anything other than getting the Eucharist is not a real Catholic. 0.98

02:41:33.000 Anybody who's talking about anything other than that, unless you're a philosopher, you are a political nerd online.

02:41:39.000 Who should just shut the fuck up and go to mass.

02:41:45.000 VAM 04 sent $5.

02:41:54.000 Yeah, probably.

02:41:56.000 Ignite sent $5.

02:41:57.000 Your stuff is good, undoubtedly.

02:41:58.000 But if I were a new listener, I might say you take too many victory laps and fall into schizo-esque loops. 0.98

02:42:02.000 No offense, just a little criticism.

02:42:08.000 It's a shame to see them go away so quickly as many of my suppliers were ramping up welders, machinists, and engineers post-election.

02:42:13.000 Right?

02:42:13.000 That's what I'm saying, man.

02:42:15.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:42:17.000 You read my mind.

02:42:18.000 That was my take.

02:42:19.000 Chicago Groy percent $25.

02:42:20.000 I'd like to thank you for inspiring me to take school my life broadly more seriously.

02:42:23.000 For the first two years of high school, I didn't care about school.

02:42:25.000 You inspired me to better myself, and I just received a complete and total full ride to Western Illinois.

02:42:29.000 I'm planning on law school.

02:42:30.000 I truly can't thank you enough.

02:42:58.000 - Yeah, good luck with that. - Sammy J sent $5.

02:43:01.000 So Tucker, the guy who helped convince Trump to pick Vance, was funded by Vance's venture capital firm?

02:43:04.000 - Yep. - Doesn't get much more bald face than that.

02:43:06.000 - Look it up.

02:43:07.000 It's out there!

02:43:08.000 Tucker promoted Vance for a long time before he became senator.

02:43:14.000 Vance then founded a firm called Rockbridge Capital.

02:43:18.000 Underneath that, it's like 1776 Capital or 1789 Capital.

02:43:24.000 It's like one of the founding years.

02:43:28.000 And that firm, which is led by Chris Buskirk, who's a friend of Vance's and he's also on Rockbridge, they gave TCN $15 million.

02:43:36.000 And yeah, and then Tucker, along with Elon and Teal, made calls to convince Trump to tap Vance as VP. And then Vance hired Tucker's son to work in his press office.

02:43:47.000 Don't you just love that?

02:43:50.000 Don't you love to see that?

02:43:51.000 I have it on good authority.

02:43:52.000 You're starting to get a decent amount of Democrat viewers, Nick, myself included.

02:43:57.000 Think so?

02:43:59.000 Fuck Fat Boy Vance, by the way.

02:44:00.000 I don't know how many Democrats could tolerate this show, but that would be interesting to know how many watch this.

02:44:05.000 Maple Groy percent $5.

02:44:07.000 Man being Canadian right now is so fucking embarrassing.

02:44:09.000 The whole country's identity has always circled around the fact that we're not like the Americans, but in reality, everyone's a gay snow faggot. 1.00

02:44:13.000 I refuse to associate with anyone here.

02:44:15.000 Okay.

02:44:16.000 That's hilarious.

02:44:17.000 Who's we?

02:44:25.000 Who the fuck is we?

02:44:26.000 Who are you?

02:44:27.000 We've played a narrative.

02:44:28.000 I don't know who the fuck you are.

02:44:29.000 You have no platform.

02:44:31.000 We've been pushing.

02:44:32.000 Who the fuck is we?

02:44:36.000 Iran is Israel's problem. 0.98

02:44:38.000 The only reason Iran wants a nuke is because they're worried about Israel invading them, and rightly so. 1.00

02:44:45.000 Yeah, I don't believe it's in our interest for Iran to become a nuclear power, but the question is, how do we prevent it? 0.99

02:44:50.000 Do we prevent it by bombing?

02:44:52.000 Fordell with bunker-busting bombs?

02:44:54.000 Can we even hit it?

02:44:56.000 And what's their ability to reconstitute the program?

02:44:59.000 They could reconstitute it on the long-term scenario.

02:45:06.000 If we really destroy their entire program, they could rebuild it in four years.

02:45:11.000 Four years tops.

02:45:13.000 Months at the minimum.

02:45:15.000 So the only way that we're going to destroy their nuclear complex is if we overthrow their government.

02:45:21.000 That's what's at stake here.

02:45:22.000 It's not a question of, do we want a nuclear Iran?

02:45:25.000 It's a question of, are we willing to overthrow their government to stop it?

02:45:29.000 Because bombing them won't work.

02:45:31.000 Their centrifuges in Fordow are deep inside of a mountain.

02:45:34.000 They have a vast nuclear complex.

02:45:36.000 They can rebuild the centrifuges.

02:45:38.000 The only thing that's going to stop them is if they either agree to stop it or some other government comes to power that does not want a nuclear arsenal or a threshold capability.

02:45:52.000 And so the question is whether that is in our best interest.

02:45:57.000 And that is something that Israel wants. 0.87

02:45:59.000 I don't think that it's in our interest to overthrow the government.

02:46:02.000 We should just make a deal with them.

02:46:07.000 I like dogs.

02:46:10.000 I hate cats.

02:46:58.000 This guy is cutting $4 billion a day from the federal government, and he gets doxed, and Elon says, it's against the law.

02:47:05.000 It's illegal.

02:47:07.000 Really?

02:47:08.000 I don't know how sympathetic I can be.

02:47:10.000 True.

02:47:32.000 True.

02:47:33.000 Well, now she'll obviously get confirmed.

02:47:43.000 But it is surprising to me, after she met with Assad, she had to make some kind of reassurance.

02:47:47.000 Well, she's been making all kinds of 180s on her past position, so reassurances have been made, clearly.

02:47:55.000 Tragic sent $10.

02:48:37.000 Zachariah Seed sent $5.

02:48:39.000 Hey, Nick, can Trump actually do anything in BT the land grab citation in South Africa?

02:49:06.000 I was reflecting earlier today on how fortunate it is that every weeknight at exactly 8:00 PM CST, we are treated with two hours of the most insightful and entertaining content on the internet.

02:49:13.000 No, Glaze, God bless you.

02:49:15.000 Thanks.

02:49:16.000 That is Glaze, though, but thank you.

02:49:18.000 I was split on TLM versus Nova Sordo until I finally heard your talk on Christian futurism.

02:49:21.000 You're right.

02:49:21.000 We can't just LARP that it's the 1950s we have to move forward.

02:49:24.000 Nova Sordo, four leaders.

02:49:28.000 Well, okay.

02:49:30.000 The Black Roi percent, $25. 0.98

02:49:31.000 Now that you've finished Game of Thrones, let me get your thoughts, Playboy.

02:49:35.000 It sucked.

02:49:36.000 I mean, the ending sucked.

02:49:37.000 Totally dissatisfying.

02:49:39.000 You know, I mean, it wasn't unwatchable.

02:49:42.000 People were telling me, don't even watch the final season.

02:49:45.000 Some people were telling me, stop watching after season five.

02:49:49.000 I'm like, I'm not going to stop watching after season five.

02:49:52.000 Don't be ridiculous.

02:49:54.000 So, it didn't ever become unwatchable.

02:49:58.000 I mean, it was, you know, I had to watch it.

02:50:01.000 It was fine, but it wasn't good.

02:50:04.000 It totally took a dive.

02:50:06.000 Noticeable decline in quality after season six.

02:50:09.000 Seven, eight, nine were not good.

02:50:11.000 And the last season, totally rushed.

02:50:14.000 Totally unsatisfying.

02:50:16.000 They were literally like, alright, let's just get this over.

02:50:19.000 These storylines that were built up over eight seasons.

02:50:25.000 Intricate storylines, real motivations.

02:50:28.000 And then at the very end, they're just like, You know, what's-his-name is like, I am evil.

02:50:35.000 You know, after, what's the Cersei's brother's name?

02:50:40.000 I haven't watched it a long time, and then I just finished it.

02:50:44.000 You know, he goes on this good-guy arc.

02:50:46.000 He's saving everybody.

02:50:47.000 He's a knight.

02:50:48.000 He's flirting with a lesbian.

02:50:50.000 Then he's like, never mind.

02:50:51.000 I am evil.

02:50:53.000 Okay?

02:50:55.000 And, you know, and the same thing with...

02:51:01.000 What's her name?

02:51:03.000 The dragon girl.

02:51:05.000 The whole show.

02:51:06.000 I'm the breaker of chains.

02:51:08.000 I'm the mother.

02:51:09.000 And then she just goes crazy. 0.96

02:51:10.000 I mean, I kind of get it.

02:51:12.000 I sort of get it.

02:51:13.000 But the transformation was so rushed.

02:51:16.000 She's like a good guy.

02:51:17.000 And then in like the last episode, she has eye bags. 1.00

02:51:20.000 And it's like, oh, that means she's crazy now.

02:51:23.000 And then she wins the war.

02:51:24.000 And she's like, let's just fucking kill everybody. 1.00

02:51:26.000 The whole show.

02:51:27.000 The whole show.

02:51:29.000 Oh, I'm idealistic.

02:51:30.000 I won't kill anybody.

02:51:32.000 I'm ending slavery.

02:51:33.000 And then in the second to last episode, it's like, she's got eye bags.

02:51:37.000 Uh-oh.

02:51:38.000 She's going crazy. 1.00

02:51:39.000 Wins the battle.

02:51:40.000 I think I'll kill everybody now.

02:51:42.000 I think I'll just kill everyone.

02:51:45.000 And, you know, it's supposed to be like, oh, it's your dad did the same thing, but...

02:51:51.000 Or whatever.

02:51:53.000 The other dragon guy did the same thing.

02:51:56.000 But I was like, really?

02:51:58.000 I mean...

02:51:59.000 You know, and then the fan service, like the whole show, people are just dying for no reason.

02:52:04.000 And then in the end, it's like everyone gets their final battle.

02:52:08.000 Everyone, everything is going to get tied up just right.

02:52:11.000 You know, Cersei's brother kills the guy and then dies with the sister.

02:52:16.000 And then, you know, the mountain and the dog fight each other.

02:52:21.000 And so...

02:52:26.000 You know, and the whole White Walker thing. 0.74

02:52:28.000 What the fuck?

02:52:29.000 I mean, the whole show, it's like the war to end everything.

02:52:33.000 And then one episode.

02:52:35.000 All right, here it is.

02:52:37.000 And the good guys won.

02:52:39.000 And it wasn't even that hard.

02:52:41.000 And it was like, I really hate these battle scenes where everything's like Transformers or like the Avengers, where it's like...

02:52:50.000 The good guys are winning!

02:52:52.000 No, wait!

02:52:53.000 Now the bad guys are winning!

02:52:54.000 Oh, but here comes this dragon!

02:52:56.000 Now the good guys are winning again!

02:52:57.000 Oh, no, but they killed the dragon! 0.76

02:52:59.000 Now the bad...

02:53:00.000 Oh, no, but look!

02:53:01.000 But she got the ring of power! 1.00

02:53:03.000 Now...

02:53:04.000 And it, like...

02:53:05.000 That's just not good writing.

02:53:06.000 It's just not exciting.

02:53:08.000 It's like, oh, okay.

02:53:09.000 So it just keeps going back and forth.

02:53:11.000 So it wasn't that great.

02:53:14.000 I didn't love the ending.

02:53:15.000 It's a great show.

02:53:16.000 Great show.

02:53:19.000 Loved most of it, but it really fell off hard in the last few seasons.

02:53:25.000 I know it's like a hot take, but the ending was totally uns...

02:53:29.000 I was kind of...

02:53:30.000 I was bored.

02:53:31.000 I was on my phone.

02:53:33.000 It's dialogue between the midget, so who's going to be king now? 1.00

02:53:38.000 Oh, we'll make it to...

02:53:39.000 No, hey, spoiler alert.

02:53:41.000 Spoiler alert.

02:53:46.000 Okay.

02:53:49.000 Run back to your phone if you're, you know, if you're on the train or you have your AirPods in, here's your warning.

02:53:55.000 They're like, oh, well, we're just going to elect who the king should be.

02:53:59.000 Oh, it should be a democracy now. 0.72

02:54:01.000 Like, get the fuck out of here.

02:54:02.000 Get the fuck out of here with that. 1.00

02:54:05.000 You know?

02:54:06.000 Oh, well, maybe we should just let, let's just choose.

02:54:10.000 And we won't be a hereditary monarchy anymore.

02:54:13.000 Really?

02:54:14.000 So, I don't know.

02:54:15.000 I thought it was corny.

02:54:17.000 That was corny.

02:54:20.000 I believe it, and I believe it.

02:54:24.000 They're close friends, and they have been.

02:54:26.000 And, you know, Tucker had Kevin Spacey on his show.

02:54:29.000 Kevin Spacey's tight with Bill Clinton.

02:54:31.000 Like, there's connections there.

02:54:35.000 I don't want to say, because then he won't.

02:54:40.000 I'll do, like, reverse psychology.

02:54:41.000 I hope he doesn't deport me to Afghanistan.

02:55:08.000 What are you talking about?

02:55:09.000 Thank you.

02:55:20.000 Thank you.

02:55:31.000 Yeah.

02:55:33.000 Thank you.

02:55:46.000 Thanks for the super chat.

02:55:48.000 I appreciate it.

02:55:50.000 Did they?

02:55:57.000 I don't think that's true.

02:56:06.000 Rumble needs an IQ filter.

02:56:07.000 Dude, you need to be...

02:56:09.000 I love these super chats that come in and they're like, yeah, these guys suck, right, Nick?

02:56:13.000 It's like Johnny is giving Johnny Walker.

02:56:17.000 Bro's sipping Johnny Walker in the war room right now.

02:56:20.000 Honestly, it should just be ignored.

02:56:36.000 I think that the only way forward is to put out our message.

02:56:40.000 The whole point, when these people fund hit pieces, when they're putting out the gray zone hit piece, you could spend years telling people, oh no, no, that's lies and here's why.

02:56:52.000 That's part of the strategy.

02:56:54.000 If you spend all your time debunking hit pieces and responding to...

02:57:00.000 People that are paid to attack you, then you never put out your message.

02:57:05.000 So you have to just, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you have to fight for market share.

02:57:11.000 You just need to be louder.

02:57:12.000 It's that simple.

02:57:14.000 I don't think it's actually that valuable.

02:57:20.000 True.

02:57:21.000 So true.

02:57:21.000 All right.

02:57:39.000 I'm not even reading the rest of these.

02:57:41.000 Okay, that's our last Super Chat.

02:57:44.000 It's just more of the same.

02:57:49.000 I need another vacation.

02:57:51.000 Two weeks in, I need another month off.

02:57:53.000 Or we got to raise the limit to a million dollars.

02:57:56.000 Can we just do like one $1 million super chat?

02:58:00.000 Is there an ultra high net worth individual that can just give me a one $1 million super chat so I don't have to read these for like a couple of years or something?

02:58:11.000 Sheesh.
