00:31:31.000Next, we have Scott Greer, Nick Fuentes, and Michelle Malkin.
00:31:35.000And I'll be giving them slightly more, you know, slightly larger introductions before each one individually.
00:31:42.000But the title of my speech is In Defense of Dissidents.
00:31:47.000So, to briefly introduce myself, my name is Patrick Casey.
00:31:49.000I'm the president of the American Identity Movement.
00:31:51.000I've been a political activist for a few years.
00:31:55.000And I'm very enthused and heartened by the things that have developed in the last six months, the kind of alliance that we have formed.
00:32:03.000So, if you're in this room, and if you're watching perhaps from home on the D Live stream, there's a good chance you can be rightfully considered a dissident.
00:32:12.000So, a dissident is someone who dissents, who objects to reigning orthodoxies, ruling ideologies, and power structures.
00:32:20.000And if you're in this room, I think you don't need to be told that.
00:32:22.000You're aware of the fact that if you start speaking the truth, If you start pointing out the obvious, there is a wide and at times mystifying apparatus that comes in to keep you quiet.
00:32:35.000Now, many of you in this room, I know personally, I know that you have paid the price to tell the truth, to say what many Americans are thinking.
00:32:43.000And for that, you deserve to be commended.
00:32:46.000So, as I said, dissidents dissent, right?
00:32:50.000And it's absolutely important that in a free society, one that emphasizes liberty, right?
00:32:56.000And these democratic values that we hear so much about from both the right and the left.
00:33:00.000That dissidents should be treated well, right?
00:33:03.000That was kind of the idea of the Enlightenment era values on which America was founded the idea that you had the right to criticize your government, the idea that you had the right to speak unpopular truths and not face persecution.
00:33:14.000Well, you do have somewhat of a legal right to do that, although one could argue that that is becoming less and less the case these days.
00:33:23.000There are many right wing activists for whom they defended themselves against Antifa and the FBI threw them in jail somewhere.
00:33:31.000Like, oh, it's kind of an ongoing thing.
00:33:34.000Meanwhile, Antifa is allowed to run down the street, hit people over the head with hammers and baseball bats and break windows.
00:33:42.000And if they're unlucky, they'll get arrested for perhaps a night and then they'll be let go.
00:33:47.000But it's not just political dissidents, it's not just right wing activists who face persecution from the state at this point.
00:33:54.000Look at ostensibly the most powerful man in the country, Donald Trump.
00:34:02.000At this point, it's very obvious that the entire state apparatus has been weaponized against dissent.
00:34:08.000Even if you're the president, if you dissent against globalism, no matter to what degree, in what way, the words that you use, you're going to face severe pushback.
00:34:20.000And I say yet, that's somewhat of a pessimistic perspective.
00:34:23.000I am optimistic in the long run, but we're not quite at the point where the Stasi is going to break down your door and bash you over the head for the wrong tweet, right?
00:34:32.000But in many other Western countries, that's not too far off from what the situation actually is, right?
00:34:36.000We've all seen the incredibly Orwellian.
00:34:39.000Advertisements and so forth in somewhere like the UK, where they say, think before you tweet, right?
00:34:48.000And most of us in this room only really have to worry about getting suspended.
00:34:51.000I don't have to worry about that much anymore because I've already been suspended.
00:34:55.000And I'm certainly not on Twitter under an alias or anything.
00:34:58.000But the point is, in many Western countries, right, just across the pond, so to speak, it's obviously some things like calling for violence and saying you're going to commit a crime, those under any society should be illegal.
00:35:12.000But what we're talking about is people who say, you know, there's too much immigration, right?
00:35:18.000People that say, there's a lot of mosques popping up in my local village.
00:35:22.000Those are the people in many other European countries who face severe repression.
00:35:28.000And that is truly indicative of the direction that America is going in overall.
00:35:35.000But as I said, dissidents are incredibly important, right?
00:35:37.000We are the proverbial canary in the coal mines.
00:35:40.000We are the ones who point out that the emperor wears no clothes.
00:35:43.000And that's something that in any society that emphasizes freedom, right, democracy, liberty, that should not just be a thing to be tolerated, that should be a thing to be accepted.
00:35:54.000And in the past, you did have leftists who kind of believed in these things, right?
00:35:58.000Noam Chomsky, you know, he has a quote, you know, if you don't, I'm going to butcher this, it's a paraphrase, but, you know, if we don't believe in free speech for people we despise, then we don't believe in it at all.
00:36:07.000And that's kind of the, you know, a fantastic way of summarizing the importance of free speech in a free society.
00:36:15.000So I think what we have now is the apparatus of repression primarily exists on a social level, on a private level, right?
00:36:23.000You know, as we said, you know, if you object to immigration here in America, chances are the government's not.
00:36:27.000Going to just come and arrest you for tweeting the wrong thing.
00:36:29.000But again, who knows where we're headed?
00:36:31.000There is a push for the criminalization of so called hate speech, which, as we understand, is defined as anything that the left doesn't like, right?
00:36:38.000Anything that gets in the way of their raw and at times unapologetic will to power.
00:36:46.000So the ways that the establishment overall, and I'm not just talking about the government, suppresses the truth are many, right?
00:36:52.000You have censorship, deplatforming, you have the character assassination, the smears, you have institutions like the SPLC that are worth Half a billion dollars that exists for the sole purpose of smearing anyone who dares to tell the truth, anyone who voices unpopular opinions on controversial issues, issues that are only controversial as far as the media class and the establishment is concerned.
00:37:15.000As many people in here understand, the average American, particularly the average Trump supporter, they know what's going on, right?
00:37:21.000They don't like it, but it's really a top down apparatus that keeps people quiet.
00:37:35.000And I think what's happened in the past few months is that an alliance has started to form between people that might not agree on everything politically, and that's not necessary, but people at the very least who agree that, you know, we should not be, you know, with whoever we associate with, that should not be determined by the SPLC, by the ADL, and by the liberal media, right?
00:37:54.000And of course, there are always going to be people out there who are just so far beyond the pale with their political expression that you shouldn't associate with them, probably for issues of personal safety and other things.
00:38:03.000But that obviously doesn't apply to anyone in this room or anyone in this room whom, you know, we would associate with.
00:38:09.000So, I think the response to the so called Groyper War has been very revealing of just the degree to which Conservatism Inc. and the establishment right are totally part of this power structure.
00:38:23.000These are the people, the left is oftentimes, you almost have to thank them for being honest.
00:38:27.000They get up there and they say, yeah, everyone right of center is a Nazi, and Nazis belong in camps, and at the very least, they don't deserve to have platform access and so forth.
00:38:40.000The issue is that people that it's not just the never Trumpers, it's people who jumped on the Trump bandwagon later.
00:38:47.000People like the likes of Charlie Kirk, TPUSA, National Review, these types.
00:38:52.000They claim to value the free market of ideas.
00:38:55.000They claim to value the free exchange of ideas, open debate, rational dialogue, and, as we all know, facts over feelings.
00:39:05.000But to anyone who expresses political views that are controversial to them, or rather, I should say, inconvenient to them, we understand that that's not the case.
00:39:14.000What they do is they say, Well, we're giving you a platform.
00:39:55.000I have yet to see one critique from any of these people of any of the positions that we actually hold.
00:40:01.000You see that of Nick Fuentes, of Michelle Malkin, of me, Scott, basically anyone in this room who's dared to voice these opinions publicly, whether or not they do that openly or anonymously.
00:40:28.000Well, you know, you use the same buzzwords to justify keeping us shut out and to shut down our ideas.
00:40:33.000So, you know, I'm not trying to get into horseshoe theory or, you know, they're the same thing, but I think we all understand that it's not about you're just liberals, you're just like the left.
00:40:41.000No, you and the ideas that you represent, and I'm referring to Conservatism Inc., are part of the power structure.
00:40:47.000And that's what really this is all about, is pointing out you guys think, oh, we're fighting back against the left.
00:40:56.000Bernie Sanders, AOC, any of these people implementing any of these policies, right?
00:41:01.000But the fact of the matter is that the issue, when you just say that socialism is the issue, you ignore the threat to the right.
00:41:07.000And that is why I think many people in this room have come together because we realize that unless something changes, unless a real right emerges, nothing is going to change for the better in this country.
00:41:19.000But I'm very, as I said, I'm very heartened and enthused by the people that I've met tonight, the people we've been working with in the past few months.
00:41:25.000And I think that there is a real right emerging, a real alliance of people who, again, recognize that.
00:41:31.000You know, immigration is a big issue, free speech, deplatforming, basic right, the spirit of 2016.
00:41:36.000That's what brought most of us here together.
00:41:40.000But at the very least, we understand that if the left takes control, that our lives are going to be far worse.
00:41:46.000And not just because we're dissidents, right?
00:41:48.000Because we're Americans, because we value free speech, you know, not having someone like AOC telling you, like, you know, what to do on every minute thing.
00:41:57.000But I want to draw attention to a very specific thing before I wrap up here.
00:42:01.000And that is, That when I asked a question to Charlie Kirk, which for the record was in good faith, it wasn't about any controversial issue, it was just about the fact that he kicked someone out of TPOSA for being in a group photo with Nick Fuentes.
00:42:14.000And he said, respectfully, I have no idea who you are.
00:43:01.000We did lawful activism pushing back against the erasure of.
00:43:06.000American history, mass immigration, all very defensible things.
00:43:10.000But that organization hasn't existed for close to a year.
00:43:13.000So there was, you know, no one from Identify Europa was, or Identity Europa, either of them was at any of these events.
00:43:20.000But Identify Europa, right, it's a soft fee, I guess you could say, is a blog that was created by Antifa to dox lawful, you know, citizens in my organization, the former organization, who, you know, were out doing activism and so forth.
00:43:38.000People who went out and put up stickers that said, you know, make America great again or something like that.
00:43:45.000And, So, this is where Conservatism Inc. does their opposition research.
00:43:48.000And, you know, I don't know why he, it might just be that he's not the smartest guy and doesn't have the smartest advisors.
00:43:54.000But the fact that he is revealing his hand and saying, I'm getting my information on you from a blog where literally creep shots outside of my house have been taken, right?
00:44:02.000My address, you know, saying this guy's a bad person, here's where he lives.
00:44:06.000And Charlie Kirk's sitting at home late at night, you know, just, you know, scrolling through, seeing, you know, all these doxes of, again, totally lawful, well adjusted political activists.
00:44:16.000So, this is really what we're up against.
00:44:20.000You know, we're not able to just have like an open discussion, but they, you know, let's talk about why that is.
00:44:26.000They know that we are right at the end of the day.
00:44:28.000Behind the scenes, they understand that the reality of demographic change, of you know, for the foreign policy disasters that we've been in, foreign aid, all of these things, they know that we're right.
00:44:36.000Um, but one very important thing for everyone to understand is that the way that people in this room and likely people watching form their political opinions, it's an entirely different process than the way most politicians or political pundits do, right?
00:44:49.000Charlie Kirk, you know, there's always going to be some room for you know, personal expression.
00:44:53.000Well, I really believe in this policy, but When you get to the position of someone like Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Ben Shapiro, all of the usual suspects, these people exist within, again, within Conservatism Inc., this big apparatus, billions of dollars in funding overall, right?
00:45:10.000And so you kind of just can't really say what's on your mind.
00:45:13.000Not that these people are secretly on our side by any means, but even if these people knew the truth, even if these people believed in what we believed in, they couldn't say it.
00:45:22.000They couldn't say it because they would be out of a job.
00:45:23.000Their donors would call them and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not giving you.
00:45:27.000Millions of dollars to talk about the effects of demographic change on a political institution.
00:45:32.000I'm giving you millions of dollars so that I can keep getting cheap labor and that my rich friends can keep getting cheap labor, right?
00:45:38.000So that is arguably the best thing that we have going for us.
00:45:43.000We have plenty of great things going for us.
00:45:44.000We have an organic grassroots energy that conservatism absolutely will never have, right?
00:45:50.000They're only able to inspire some modicum of loyalty and enthusiasm by paying people, by offering the opportunity to come out to some event and hang out with their favorite eSolab.
00:46:25.000But in order for that change to occur, it's going to take people, the tweeting, The YouTube streams, the articles, most of the people in this room are engaged in that.
00:46:36.000The content creation is one of the most important things that we could do.
00:46:39.000But at the end of the day, it's not enough.
00:46:40.000We do need to have a real world movement.
00:46:42.000That doesn't mean we need to be reckless, and that doesn't mean people need to come out and be public representatives for, there's no pressure on the average person watching this or in this room to do anything of the sort.
00:46:53.000But it is going to take real world action for things to change for the better.
00:46:57.000But I am absolutely confident that we are going to be able to reclaim our country, but only if we have the will, the dedication, and honestly the optimism to do so.
00:47:40.000As you might know, there's a kind of a height difference between us.
00:47:43.000So, they had to get the mic right just for me.
00:47:46.000Hey, we're just pointing out facts, facts over feelings.
00:47:54.000So, my speech today is called The Struggle for Trumpism, or really actually nationalism.
00:47:59.000When Donald Trump came down the escalator five years ago, his core message wasn't that America needed a child tax credit or a better industrial policy subsidy, it was immigration.
00:48:10.000When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
00:53:19.000It's now a Trump worship fest, but it imagines a different Trump.
00:53:23.000Many attendees planned to walk out of the future GOP nominee.
00:53:26.000The walkout organizer against Trump told The Atlantic this When he comes in, we're going to let him know that we don't want to associate with a man that makes fun of Carly Fiorina's face, or denigrates women, or is rude and crude.
00:53:44.000Trump wisely pulled out of the conference and spoke to voters in Kansas instead.
00:53:48.000Some conservatives even openly advocated for the return of Jim Crow laws.
00:53:52.000To disenfranchised working class whites.
00:53:54.000They want to bring back poll tests and poll taxes.
00:53:57.000Now, many of these same people who wanted the voting rights of Trump supporters revoked and any Trump friendly commentator purged from public life are Trump's biggest fans.
00:54:07.000For instance, that very same walkout organizer, you know, the one who was very upset about Carly Fiedler and his face being made fun of, he told media at CPAC 2017, just a year later, that he loves Trump.
00:54:19.000That's the type of people who are now Trump's cheerleaders.
00:54:23.000Rick Grinnell, you guys, we all know Rick.
00:54:29.000He's Trump's new pick to head our national intelligence services.
00:54:33.000Passionately tweeted out that he was never Trump in the 2016 primary.
00:54:38.000Now he shapes Trump's foreign policy, particularly its belligerence towards Iran and the demand that every part of the globe celebrate homosexuality.
00:54:46.000Grinnell also wields tremendous influence over the MAGA movement, as some of the people in this room might know.
00:54:51.000And he forces popular commentators to stick to the party line.
00:54:55.000Most of the contributors to Nash Review's Against Trump issue are currently either diehard Trump supporters or feel empowered to define the new right.
00:55:03.000Nash Review's senior editor in chief, or editor in chief rather, Rich Lowry, the very man who oversaw the issue, now says he's a nationalist.
00:55:11.000His supposed nationalism is little different from the conservative ink platitudes of old.
00:55:16.000And he still ultimately believes America is an idea, and he shrinks from admitting that the nation might have a demographic core.
00:55:23.000First Things editor Rusty Reno, yes, that's his real name, contributed to the Against Trump issue.
00:55:29.000Now, his magazine positions itself as the voice of the Trumpian right.
00:55:35.000Ben Dominich, founder of the Federalists and Meghan McCain's husband, was another contributor to this embarrassing issue.
00:55:40.000He lamented in August of 2015 that Trump presents a choice for the Republican Party about which path to follow a path toward a coalition that is broad, classically liberal, and consistent with the party's history, or a path toward a coalition that is reduced to the narrow interests of identity politics for white people.
00:55:58.000Should be noted that Dominich claims to be actually a person of color because he has Spanish heritage.
00:56:29.000But Dominic's website, The Federalist, was particularly anti Trump.
00:56:33.000The only support they could say for Trump is well, he's at least not Hillary.
00:56:38.000But now Dominic stands up for Trump and he wants a more Trumping conservative.
00:56:43.000And his website is arguably the most pro Trump website outside of Breitbart.
00:56:49.000It's inevitable that victors will force the defeated to bend the knee.
00:56:53.000It's actually good that they bent the knee.
00:56:54.000I mean, that's what happens when you win.
00:56:56.000You want these people to come over and support you.
00:56:59.000The problem is, the defeated now speak as though they are the true victors.
00:57:06.000They believe that actually other people are bending the knee.
00:57:09.000There are multiple factions seeking to claim leadership of the future right.
00:57:12.000These are the old, one, the first faction is the old guard conservatives who grudgingly made terms with Trump and have changed very little with the times.
00:57:20.000They still believe in all the dumb tropes of conservatism you know, limited government, free markets.
00:58:10.000But they can't wait to drop Trump and cheer on her.
00:58:12.000But they have to stick with Trump now to please their audience because their whole audience is like rabid Trump fans.
00:58:18.000This faction, of course, is best represented by Nick's friend Ben Shapiro, whose popularity has skyrocketed in the Trump era despite him hating Trump in 2016.
00:58:29.000And back in 2016, he even said America First is an anti Semitic dog whistle.
00:58:33.000But now, of course, in our time, he can say who is and who is an American first, even though at that time he thought it was an anti Semitic dog whistle.
00:58:45.000Then there are the grifters who worship Trump but largely share the same positions and values as the old guard.
00:58:51.000The difference is that they absolutely love Trump, or at least pretend to in public.
00:58:57.000These types imagine Trump as a typical conservative who only wants to eliminate regulations, cut taxes, support Israel, and promote school vouchers.
00:59:06.000They support legal immigration so long as it's legal.
00:59:11.000Many of them are neocons whose greatest dream is to invade Iran.
00:59:15.000They no longer support amnesty, they want the very fake news suppressed by government action, and they replace Reagan worship with Trump idolatry.
00:59:24.000This faction is best represented by Charlie Kirk and Grinnell.
00:59:27.000Unfortunately, they hold the most influence over the president.
00:59:30.000The one good thing about the grifters is watching them defend all of Trump's base comments.
00:59:34.000Yes, we should send Ilhan Omar back where she belongs.
00:59:38.000Baltimore is a rodent infested hellhole.
00:59:43.000And of course, it's perfectly fine to not want immigrants from shithole countries.
01:00:42.000But compared to the old guard, the old guard is less moved by this pressure and regularly condemns Trump's epic tweets and statements.
01:00:48.000Like they never stand up for Trump when he's being awesome, unfortunately.
01:00:53.000Many of the old guard have gotten worse on policy than Trump era.
01:00:56.000Shapiro was previously an avid supporter of immigration reduction and touted Ann Coulter's Adios America.
01:01:01.000But he no longer gives his opinion on the subject, besides stating conservatives must root out and destroy any elements of race driven policy from its face.
01:01:10.000I decided, they told me I couldn't do a Trump impersonation, so I decided to put in a Shapiro one.
01:01:14.000We'll let the viewers decide if it was good.
01:01:17.000There are a few hardcore never Trumpers who now refuse to accept Trump, but they're irrelevant.
01:01:21.000I mean, it's like people like Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin.
01:02:44.000They want a new right that leans left economically and right culturally.
01:02:48.000And some of them make cogent arguments for nationalism.
01:02:51.000But all of them want to misdirect national populist energy away from identity issues.
01:02:56.000First things, Amari and other integralists want social conservatism to serve as the main focus.
01:03:02.000Abortion and religious freedom matter far more than immigration and national identity.
01:03:06.000American Affairs editor in chief Julius Krein, Michael Lind, and a few others want the new right to focus on economic issues and launch a class war against the managerial state.
01:03:17.000They believe they can serve as leaders of a multicultural working class movement.
01:03:20.000All those hard hats just want to follow eggheads who write for American Affairs and, you know, for pencil ties and stuff.
01:03:26.000I mean, they can really relate to them.
01:03:29.000And they'll just, they just want an infrastructure plan.
01:03:31.000They don't care about immigration or protecting their identity.
01:03:34.000But it should be noted that Julius Krein, who's always interviewed about every article in every profile on Trumpism, disavow Trump intellectuals is smaller than that of Kirk and Shapiro.
01:03:45.000But their work is arguably more important.
01:03:47.000Their articles and books are influencing future Republican leaders in the way Ann Coulter shaped Trump's immigration policy.
01:03:54.000Hazoni is a Prager U star whose work inspires Candace Owens.
01:03:57.000If you guys remember Candace Owens, we are weirdly trying to say that Nazi Germany was bad because it was a nationalist or something.
01:04:30.000A much discussed article in the tablet last month celebrated this new millennial right while denigrating the idea that the GOP must transform itself into a de facto white party in order to halt the dissolution of the country's ethnocultural core.
01:04:43.000Core was put into quotes to remind the reader that America has no ethnocultural core.
01:04:48.000But Trump's win, as our Latinx friend Ben Dominich wrote, was supposed to signal that the party should transform itself into the defender of the historic American nation.
01:04:58.000So, why are all these supposed Trumpists insisting their new nationalism has nothing to do with identity issues?
01:05:04.000One reason is because they actually buy the economic anxiety meme.
01:05:07.000They think a multicultural, multiracial working class voted for Trump to secure child tax credit and industrial subsidies.
01:05:15.000Liberals and leftists rightly mock this idea.
01:05:18.000Multiple studies on why former Democrats voted for Trump in 2016 found identity issues were the deciding factor, not economic anxiety.
01:05:25.000One such study conducted by the Iowa State University.
01:05:28.000Or Iowa State University concluded the nativist narrative about taking back America and the anti immigrant sentiment became stronger forces than economic issues.
01:05:39.000But you don't need left wing sociologists to tell you this.
01:05:42.000Trump's whole campaign centered around backlash against Black Lives Matter, mass immigration, Islamic terror, multilingualism, and gun control.
01:05:51.000Post liberal social conservatives imagine these voters care more about opposing euthanasia than demographic replacement.
01:05:58.000Some of them even want more immigration so we become less liberal somehow.
01:06:02.000Apparently, Guatemalans are leading us to integralism.
01:06:11.000The other reason they refuse to address identity issues is because they're too cowardly to face them.
01:06:17.000The faux nationalists know these issues upset liberals the most.
01:06:20.000They still desire respectability from liberals, even though they say they're post liberals.
01:06:25.000And they all have this bluster that we need to be less civil and more indecent to liberals, but they still want that strange new respect from them.
01:06:33.000And if they sound like a racist, that's not going to happen.
01:06:37.000The dual citizen nationalist, for instance, proudly expelled any alleged racist from his conferences.
01:06:45.000I mean, even though he should have expelled him for his boy band haircut, I mean, that would have been a legitimate reason.
01:06:54.000But of course, he didn't use that reason.
01:06:57.000But poor, unfortunately for the dual citizen nationalist, he was very mad when the press painted the events, his events, as racist gatherings.
01:07:06.000The British Conservative Party, who he loves, he's like, I love Boris Johnson.
01:07:48.000What made the Groeper War essential is we let Conservative Inc. know that there are thousands of young Americans who want to preserve America's demographic core and resist the poison of multiculturalism.
01:07:59.000We don't want the failed platitudes of CPAC or the boring pontifications of Hazoni's National Conservative Conferences.
01:08:06.000We want the America First agenda promised in 2016 lower immigration, protect American identity, restore law and order, end the wars, and defend America's identity and history.
01:08:27.000Contrary to the claims of the respectable Trumpists, this is a popular mainstream message.
01:08:33.000Tucker Carlson is the number one show on cable news.
01:08:36.000Pappy Cannon, Ann Coulter, and Michelle Malkin are read by millions.
01:08:43.000Genuine nationalism is far more popular than open borders integralism.
01:08:55.000The identity issues that put Trump in the White House will only become more prevalent in the coming years.
01:09:00.000Conservatives cannot bury their heads in the sand and pretend grifters like Rob Smith will free everybody from the Democratic plantation and come over to the GOP.
01:09:12.000The only thing uniting the left is their shared hatred for the historic American people.
01:09:17.000The right has a choice it can face this reality and vow to stand up for the historic American people, or it can pretend that inane ideologies can survive in a nation where everyone just wants a handout from Whitey.
01:09:28.000Conservative ink can lie about us, they can smear us.
01:09:31.000They can borrow us from their low ranked conferences, but they can escape morality.
01:10:25.000It's actually interesting when I'm devising these speeches, I want to have something fresh for all our Groypers who know the relevant facts.
01:10:33.000I want to have something fresh for everybody who knows what's going on in the country and who's responsible.
01:11:17.000But then I was reminded that when we were at Groyper, what is it, the Groyper Summit in West Palm Beach, Patrick took us to an Asian fusion restaurant.
01:14:22.000It's new for me, you know, and a lot of the Groypers were young people.
01:14:25.000But the ideas behind it opposition of mass immigration, opposition of foreign wars, opposition of free trade it's not actually new.
01:14:34.000But it feels like for the first time we have something, maybe since the 2016 election, I should say.
01:14:40.000That is real and it is grassroots and it is working.
01:14:43.000The people that are in power, and Patrick touched on this, Conservative Inc., who is a part of the power apparatus in the country, they're panicking about what we're doing.
01:14:53.000They see all these, which a lot of people consider it silly, a lot of people consider it amateurish or young or something like that.
01:14:59.000I like to think of it as raw, scrappy, energetic, you know, like America First, the show.
01:15:05.000This has been the driving force of what has made it different than.
01:15:10.000What we're doing, you know, me rolling out of bed and starting my stream, and a lot of you guys going, driving out to the college campuses with a note card and a question prepared, that is making people like Charlie Kirk and their millionaire, billionaire donors, that is keeping them awake at night.
01:15:26.000That is making them think twice about what they say.
01:15:29.000I think Scott touched on this earlier.
01:15:31.000Charlie Kirk started out his college tour last fall saying, What did he say?
01:15:37.000I think Michelle covered it in American Greatness.
01:15:39.000We need to staple green cards to diplomas.
01:15:42.000All the foreign students have to immigrate here.
01:15:45.000And two months later, he said, Oh, actually, I had a change of heart.
01:16:17.000That was because Groypers, young people, all these silly people, the underdogs, and nobody took seriously.
01:16:24.000That's because we showed up there and we actually had really serious, sophisticated questions, pressing questions about what is happening in our country.
01:16:32.000And of course, the reason we are all gathered here tonight is a little bit different than the Groyper Wars.
01:16:37.000You know, Groyper Wars was kind of like loose, casual.
01:16:40.000Even the Groyper Leadership Summit, for those of you who were there, was a much more intimate gathering, smaller.
01:18:28.000But I was driving past and I was reminiscing about the past few years.
01:18:32.000You know, two years ago, I was in CPAC.
01:18:35.000Not just in the lobby, not just in the restaurant, but I was in the actual conference.
01:18:40.000I confronted Will Chamberlain, you might remember.
01:18:42.000I called him on the carpet right there.
01:18:44.000We had a debate about foreign aid to Israel.
01:18:46.000And I could feel some of my friends who work in Washington, D.C., who are with me, I could feel them sort of leaving the periphery of my vision.
01:18:53.000They were kind of floating into the background once the Periscope stream came out, you know.
01:18:57.000But I was there in CPAC with Will Chamberlain, and I was in CPAC.
01:19:39.000But this year, and this year, I'm not even allowed inside the building.
01:19:43.000And we've seen that it's not just me anymore.
01:19:46.000It started out as just people like me.
01:19:48.000But over the course of the last three years, I've gradually moved further and further away from inside to in the lobby to outside the event.
01:19:55.000But it's also expanded outward to all kinds of other people.
01:19:58.000Gavin McInnes was kicked out yesterday, removed from the building.
01:20:01.000Owen Schreuer kicked out of the conference.
01:20:03.000Michelle Malkin, I understand she had some troubles getting backstage.
01:20:06.000She was trying to hunt down Mick Mulvaney.
01:20:11.000And a lot of other people not even allowed inside, who formerly, I think a lot of people would expect that they would be welcomed in even by mainstream conservatives.
01:20:20.000So we see what has been happening, and that is why we have the America First Pack.
01:20:24.000And I think it's actually a pretty nice distinction between what is going on at CPAC and what is going on over here.
01:22:04.000It's the poem on the Statue of Liberty.
01:22:06.000It is anything but tangible, real, concrete, something you could see, something that is historical.
01:22:13.000It is an idea, it is an abstraction, a concept.
01:22:18.000And I guess they're trying to preserve that.
01:22:21.000When they're bringing over all these immigrants and they're tearing down old monuments and changing our customs and our culture and our mannerisms and so on, well, at least this saw.
01:22:31.000Spirit of the founding, this Paul Revere mist, you know, will hover around the air.
01:22:38.000And we, of course, understand that when we're putting America first and what we're conserving is the real America, the real land, the real people, the founding fathers, the settlers, the pioneers, the industrialists, the people that actually built the country.
01:24:12.000Those Chinese people that I don't know, that have no connection to this land?
01:24:16.000Yeah, I think we can say, and maybe you agree or maybe you disagree, but I think we as Americans have the right to say, no, we will not let foreigners in here if they don't benefit the country.
01:24:24.000The foreigner should not be put first.
01:24:26.000But there's another angle to that as well.
01:24:29.000That's not simply the only part of it.
01:24:30.000And it's actually a very surface level part of it.
01:24:32.000There's another level to the immigration conversation in particular.
01:24:36.000When Charlie Kirk talks about it, why does Charlie Kirk argue in favor of immigration?
01:24:40.000He doesn't say, well, my father was an immigrant or, you know, my grandfather came from.
01:24:45.000Wherever, or should my family come over from wherever?
01:24:48.000He says it because, and I think Patrick said this earlier the people that write the checks for Turning Point USA call the shots about the messaging and about the policies.
01:24:58.000And who is, of course, writing the checks for American Enterprise Institute and Turning Point USA and Cato and Heritage?
01:25:05.000It is all the big business, titans of industry, the firm holders that are benefiting from immigration.
01:25:12.000So to them, it's not necessarily, well, I'm an immigrant and this is good for immigrants or this is good for my family.
01:25:19.000And so, in that case, it is the firm holder, it is the owner, it is the capitalist, the elite, the top 1% of the 1%, which is being put first and not the American people.
01:25:28.000And the way that we identify and look at all the issues, that's the best example, it's one example.
01:25:33.000The way that we look and approach all these issues is what is good for the people in LaGrange, Illinois, where I live?
01:25:56.000That is the clear distinction between what we're doing over here with America First and what they're doing over there.
01:26:02.000And I want to make a note about the rank and file people, these people that we talk to, the people that we approach.
01:26:08.000We have to make another distinction there between a Charlie Kirk and your run of the mill person who comes up and asks you, well, what exactly does separate out America First from the rest, from Turning Point USA?
01:26:19.000You know, I was talking to these people and it was surprising.
01:26:21.000And I don't mean this in a totally nasty, negative way, but they were just simply ignorant of what we were talking about.
01:26:29.000Of everything that informs our worldview, the facts, the statistics, the ideas, the thinkers.
01:26:34.000I talked to one guy, and he seemed like a smart guy.
01:26:37.000He worked on, I don't want to give out too much information, but I mean, he's a guy that works in politics, and he struck me again as a pretty bright young person.
01:27:32.000And so, how can somebody who doesn't even know the extent of the problem form the right position?
01:27:39.000And that's the clear distinction that must be made.
01:27:41.000And it made me think a lot because somebody like that who just simply doesn't know, maybe somebody who on some instinctual or intuitive level, they understand the idea of free speech and open dialogue and listening to people that you disagree with, trying to come to an understanding.
01:27:56.000If they're trying to say, well, Nick Fuentes, Patrick Casey, Scott Greer, Michelle Malkin, They're involved in some pretty serious stuff.
01:28:05.000They're a part of a neo Nazi organization.
01:28:08.000Well, you know, somebody who has some instinctual level of intelligence or courage, whatever you want to call that, they will say, well, at least I want to investigate for my own sake.
01:28:18.000If there's some villain, why would they be against the obvious, which is that, you know, we want peace and we want a nice country and all these things?
01:28:25.000Somebody like that will come up and they will be enlightened and they will find out about all these issues.
01:28:29.000And somebody with integrity and courage, I think they will come all the way around to seeing our way of things.
01:28:33.000And if they don't, They will say, Well, at least I understand where you're coming from.
01:28:36.000At least now it makes a little bit more sense.
01:28:39.000But that obviously, as we know, is not why Charlie Kirk treats us the way that he does.
01:28:43.000That's not why Ben Shapiro treats us the way that he does.
01:28:47.000Somebody who comes up on the street and says, Tell me the difference, that person doesn't know both sides of the coin.
01:28:52.000The people that are running these organizations, they do know both sides of the coin.
01:28:56.000Somebody they'll walk up, they will come up and have the conversation because they have no idea they are getting in the middle of an intergenerational feud between these post war conservatives and National Review and Pat Buchanan and.
01:29:08.000Bill Crystal and Irvin Crystal, all these characters, they have no idea.
01:29:11.000But the people at the top know full well, and that's why they shut the conversation down.
01:29:15.000They shut down the conversation because, as we all know, they know what me and Patrick and Scott and everybody else is going to say and Michelle.
01:29:23.000They know both sides in the paleocon argument and the argument against mass immigration.
01:29:27.000They just sit on the other side of the fence.
01:29:29.000They do, in fact, oppose America first.
01:29:33.000What I'm explaining is that they do not want to put America first.
01:29:37.000They see the issues, they see the facts and the consequences.
01:29:55.000I need to get paid by the Mercer family, the Koch brothers, whoever it is.
01:29:59.000That is, at the end of the day, what they are trying to do.
01:30:02.000And it is those people, the very, very powerful, who are running scared because we are bringing that conversation forward.
01:30:08.000We are forcing the issue in a way that has not been done before.
01:30:12.000When we go up to these QAs and we ask them very simply and without error and without, you know, we have our facts and everything, we've prepared the question and so on, we are able to interrogate their ideology and find that underneath it is either this complete fiction that was created by a PR consultant, or they have to just nakedly say, Well, I'm just simply in favor of the Koch brother interest as opposed to the American interest.
01:30:36.000That is what we are doing, forcing it on them.
01:30:39.000And it was interesting, you know, when you hear these chants of America First, a lot of people think that's some kind of like a game.
01:30:44.000Oh, like it's just some optics thing where I go to SAS as an example, and they kick me out.
01:30:50.000And they kick me out because I'm starting trouble, and now you've got these people chanting America First and whatever.
01:30:55.000But no, I mean, that is a very real expression of what is happening.
01:30:58.000They are kicking us in a very, you know, manifested physical sense.
01:31:03.000They are taking real patriots, removing them from the space, pushing them out, gatekeeping in a physical way, and they are pushing us out, detaining us, issuing no trespasses.
01:31:50.000They want to get the YouTube channel banned.
01:31:52.000They want to say, don't confront this guy.
01:31:55.000Because at the end of the day, the more that we bring it out, the more that we show what's going on, it is exposing who they are really working for.
01:32:02.000And I will close with this when I say that everything is working and so on.
01:32:07.000If we are smart, if we are principled, we stick to the issues, we don't allow ourselves to get too serious, too ahead of ourselves, things like that.
01:32:15.000I actually saw somebody the other day.
01:32:17.000I'm not going to reveal his ethnicity.
01:32:37.000They put my, somebody's doing over there.
01:32:39.000They get their greasy finger and they put it in my lapel and they say, You know, you got a lot of potential and you could be a great ally, and I believe with most of what you say, but you just got to stop talking about Israel.
01:33:57.000We have to keep that for this to work.
01:33:58.000And I will say, as I said, I'm closing.
01:34:01.000I'm going to close with actually an expression, a sentiment that was conveyed to me by a good friend of mine.
01:34:07.000And it actually made me very white pilled.
01:34:09.000We talk a lot about white pills and black pills, and we see what we're up against in the establishment.
01:34:12.000It's a lot of money, it's a lot of power, it's a lot of people that are organized and coordinated, and they've got connections that we could never hope to have.
01:34:19.000And as great as this conference is, I mean, they're having it in the Gaylord Convention Center, the biggest convention center in D.C.
01:34:26.000But a friend of mine conveyed this sentiment to me to sort of wake me up, white pill me, enlighten me on what's going on.
01:34:33.000He said that throughout history, you'll find that it is often a small group of highly motivated people who will change the world.
01:36:18.000And when I said that mom was proud of the boys the first time, it led to the immediate disavowal of me by the slimy crap weasels of Young America's Foundation.
01:37:07.000Not subordinate to Saudi Arabia or China or my ancestral land in the Philippines or Israel or anywhere else.
01:37:25.000The title of my speech is The Charge of the America First Brigade.
01:37:30.000And as many of you know, I am an English major.
01:37:33.000So for my last speech at CPAC, really the last, last ever speech I'll ever give, I titled it CPAC at the Bridge.
01:37:43.000And the classical allusion was to Horatius at the bridge.
01:37:48.000And at the time, of course, I had no premonition or vision that it was you.
01:37:56.000Who were the ones that were going to be at the bridge?
01:37:59.000Because for the last 25 years, I thought that I was one of those lone people standing there shouting in the wind.
01:38:07.000And the stanza that, of course, is the most famous stanza from Horatius at the bridge is the one in which outspake brave Horatius, the captain of the gate To every man upon this earth, death cometh sooner or late.
01:38:23.000And how can man die better than facing fearful odds of the ashes?
01:38:28.000Of his temples, ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods.
01:38:34.000And so the charge of the America First Brigade, of course, is the reference to Tennyson.
01:38:41.000And I found it so apt, given especially everything that so many of you have been through, every single one of you in some small way or large.
01:39:33.000To Conservatism Inc., and in unwavering support of America First.
01:39:40.000And of course, in the interest of full disclosure and transparency, I must reveal to you that the number of donor class CEOs and philanthropists that are backing me is precisely zero.
01:39:59.000There is no Sheldon Groyperson pulling the strings.
01:40:03.000There are no Keck brothers lurking in the background, waiting to whisk me away in a private jet.
01:40:12.000The grand total of subsidies that I have received from America First is zero dollars and zero cents because there is no America First Inc.
01:40:24.000This is an organic movement, not a corporation, not a racket, not a pay for play machine like the money grubbing coin operated spectacle taking place at the Gaylord.
01:40:38.000I learned today, by the way, that some organizations there have been pressured to cough up $250,000 for the privilege merely of holding parties near the main CPAC venue.
01:41:04.000Unlike that cloistered class of think tankers and TV pundits and Reality show brand ambassadors and GOP hacks, whose world, yes, I coexisted in for 25 years.
01:41:20.000This brave, new, young, young America First movement that you are leading is real and spectacular and authentic.
01:41:34.000I've seen it firsthand on the ground on college campuses across the country, especially in the last six months.
01:41:40.000I have heard it in hushed tones in Republican gatherings, mainstream Republican gatherings.
01:41:49.000I have witnessed it among traditionalist nuclear families.
01:41:53.000And yes, in top secret high places here in the DC swamp.
01:41:59.000And this, this is why the establishment bots and the zombies and the shills that know no other way of life are more freaked out than I've ever seen in my lifetime.
01:42:13.000This bread and circuses charade, I've called it for a long time now.
01:43:45.000Even though we have been largely unbeknownst to each other, fighting many of the same battles against many of the same enemies, against the same fearful odds on the same rigged playing field.
01:44:02.000I did not know you then, but I did stand on that stage.
01:44:05.000At CPAC in 2019, calling out the feckless organizers for barring real conservatives, immigration hawks, free thinkers, and various dissidents from the conference.
01:44:20.000Meanwhile, the simulators and the saboteurs and the speech squelchers and the sorrow smear merchants like that Jared Holt weasel that you chased about.
01:44:39.000And of course, the highest bidding sponsors who were all enjoying free reign back then in the front seats, in the VIP sections, and backstage.
01:44:51.000On stage last year, I mentioned our friends Gavin McInnes and Laura Loomer and others who had been banned from darkening the CPAC door.
01:44:59.000But of course, in a larger sense, I was talking about all of you here now and so many others who've been forgotten in the past who've been relegated.
01:45:10.000To our motley ballet of the band in one way or another, either by CPAC or Khan Inc.
01:45:21.000Nick Fuentes, Patrick Casey, V. Dare, and Peter Brimelow, Faith Goldie, Milo, Frank Gaffney, Pamela Geller, Robert Stacey McCain, Dinesh D'Souza, Ann Coulter, John Derbyshire, Jason Richwine, Darren Beatty, and on and on and on.
01:45:40.000A fury had welled up inside me a year ago that had long been simmering.
01:45:45.000There was a time when CPAC did at least give the grassroots nationalists a seat at the table.
01:45:53.000And I'll never forget this because this was a very pivotal moment for me in my young career 17 years ago when I had the privilege of teaming up with the original godmother of America First, the Catholic author, lawyer, and social conservative mom of six and grandmother of 16.
01:46:36.000And Tamar Jacoby, a dime a dozen editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal, which of course is the globo homogenation house organ for big business, that infamously pushed for the five word constitutional amendment There shall be open borders.
01:46:59.000The standing room only audience back then was with us, the rabble rousers at the gate, not with the keepers of the gate.
01:47:08.000And soon after that, the grassroots prevailed over the evil Bush Rove empire in the mid 2000s, defeating a massive illegal alien amnesty of millions of natural Democrat voters from Mexico and Central America, who, if they had gotten their path to citizenship, would have almost certainly ensured the demographic abortion of a Donald Trump. Presidency.
01:47:35.000I want to dwell on the demographic math for a second because Khan Inc. hates nationalist math.
01:47:43.000Math doesn't care about your feelings.
01:47:50.000They love to crow about the GDP and 401ks and the black unemployment rate.
01:47:56.000Have you heard about the black unemployment rate?
01:49:12.000There are an estimated 1.68 million illegal aliens in Texas, and Trump won that state by 800,000 votes.
01:49:21.000Oh, and let's not forget that Ted Cruz, who I initially supported because I was of Con Inc., had won Texas by just 215,000 votes, and Ron DeSantis in Florida by less than 33,000.
01:49:36.000Rick Scott won Florida by about 10,000 votes.
01:49:40.000Would have lost if the Bush Rove Chamber of Commerce mass amnesty had passed.
01:49:45.000And that, of course, as we all know in this room, is just the impact of amnesty.
01:49:51.000I will tell you that over the years, I have tried to drum into the heads of normies that the brave formulation of being against illegal immigration but for legal immigration is kindergarten level thinking.
01:50:08.000And it is really alarming that even after all of this time, the cognitive handicaps of so many people who consider themselves America firsters is such that they don't even know the basic fact that we grant 1.1 million green cards to this country every year.
01:50:32.000I shockingly learned from a Beltway insider today that in the inner chambers of meetings in high level places, People were confused when this fact was given to them because they thought it was 1.1 million over five or 10 or 15 years.
01:50:51.000So, of course, in addition to that 1 million green cards flooding the country every single year, the refugee resettlement pipeline, seasonal and agricultural guest workers allowed to adjust their status to gain green cards, the bogus U visa,
01:51:06.000of course, Charlie Kirk's favorite F1 foreign student visa holders, the OPT indentured service, and Permanent residency acquired one way or the other by the millions of short term visa overstayers, the temporary protected status winners who won the lottery again, even under the Trump administration, all their spouses, the 800,000 DACA recipients, plus the chain migration multiplier of three or more.
01:51:36.000The numbers, the exit polls, the stubbornly unmalleable voting preferences of the majority of amnestied and naturalized citizens.
01:51:46.000Plus, birthright citizenship beneficiaries in every major ethnic block all lead to one irrefutable reality mass migration isn't just turning California and Virginia and Texas blue, it's turning all of America blue, and every American should be seeing red about it.
01:52:15.000This nation under God will be majority minority by 2045.
01:52:22.000And when I launched my book tour for Open Borders Incorporated in September, the immediate response from the Soros monkeys was that I was anti Semitic for trafficking in the great replacement theory that was also believed by the Tree of Life synagogue shooter.
01:52:42.000Already, right out of the gate, before I even knew who Nick Fuentes was, before I knew who Groypers was, I was being tarred as an anti Semite.
01:52:52.000It's become a useless, meaningless term, and everybody knows it, and that's why they're so desperate to tar all of us as that.
01:53:11.000It's anti Semitic to mention George Soros's billions, it's anti Semitic to criticize the Anti Defamation League, it's anti Semitic.
01:53:22.000To question whatever the precise number is of people who perished in World War II.
01:53:30.000It is anti Semitic for me, being married to a 100% Ashkenazi Jew, to question dual loyalties of people who are working here as agents of a foreign country.
01:53:57.000And it is unacceptably anti Semitic to point out the rank hypocrisy of people who are fiercely protective of an ethno state and an immigration enforcement system that works, who turn around and call those of us who believe, whatever our backgrounds are, who only have one homeland that they've ever known, to call us, what is it now?
01:54:24.000White majoritarians, I believe, is the term.
01:55:04.0001965, the Hart Celler Act, the Refugee Act of 1980, the 1986 Reagan Amnesty, which again is being recycled and pushed right now in the halls of Congress and the White House, the 1990 Immigration Act that created H 1B.
01:55:22.000And the Diversity Visa Lottery, plus more than a dozen other mini amnesties, extensions, and waivers.
01:56:00.000America First policies and principles have always been at the heart of grassroots conservatism.
01:56:08.000And as Nick said, that word has become so tainted that it's an embarrassment to me to have identified proudly as such ever since I was as young as you were, a college student.
01:56:23.000And yet, over time, Despite this being one of the basic tenets of grassroots conservatism, our side was shoved to the margins of CPAC's so called big tent in favor of this vulgar,
01:56:39.000it is vulgar, this endless parade of vaudeville acts and Republican flacks and corporate hacks and drag queens who blabber about everything under the sun except.
01:56:55.000The dire consequences of mass migration in our beloved homeland America.
01:57:01.000I was in Arizona earlier this week speaking with grassroots conservatives, many of them young college students, but many of them my age, middle age, and older, who well remember the contemptuous John McCain routine flip flops on suicidal open borders policies.
01:57:28.000And he rode on a horse with a border patrol, faking support for enforcement.
01:57:34.000And then, of course, after winning election after election after election by exploiting the naivete of the base.
01:57:42.000And here, I'm hoping that people who are watching this online who are not Zoomers, who are not Groypers, will stand up and remember this.
01:57:50.000You remember, don't forget, don't fall into open borders amnesia.
01:57:57.000He'd cuddle up with Vanity Fair reporters, sneering at his racist constituents who kept pestering him about building, quote, the goddamn fence.
01:59:37.000History repeats itself again and again and again.
01:59:42.000Many of you, of course, are all well versed in the betrayals of the GOP establishment when it comes to engineering and succumbing to demographic conquest.
01:59:50.000So I want to pivot for a moment and talk about.
01:59:53.000Limited government and the scourge of socialism.
02:01:14.000The louder the virtuous proclamation, the dirtier the vice being whitewashed.
02:01:20.000Braying, and that's what they do, they bray all day long about the left's socialism distracts from the obscene growth of government under Republican rule.
02:01:31.000Who approved the $700 billion TARP bailout?
02:01:36.000Who approved the $25 billion auto bailout and the $85 billion AIG bailout, $300 billion mortgage entitlement bailout?
02:01:45.000Who presided over the massive growth of the U.S. Department of Education, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Silicon Valley data miners?
02:01:54.000Who hoovered up hundreds of millions of dollars from gullible GOP boomer voters on the phony promise of repealing Obamacare?
02:03:27.000In end stage America, which is where we are, the modern day equivalent of this Roman cash for citizenship scheme is known as the EB5 Immigrant Investor Program, which dispenses green cards and a path to American citizenship to favored foreign bidders.
02:03:46.000That program, as we all now know, as a result of the noble gladiators in the Grover War arena on college campuses, is embraced and promoted by none other than Con Inc.'s Corchester.
02:04:05.000There will be ample opportunity to ask questions about this that might induce yet another disavowal of his favorite immigration open borders programs.
02:04:19.000It's amazing that these are the clowns, again, who audaciously call us grifters.
02:04:25.000And of course, this is the classic textbook example of psychological projection, right?
02:04:33.000And I will tell you, just on my own personal level, and I haven't talked about it much because I don't, that I had made countless decisions in my own career over the last quarter century to walk away from Khan Inc.
02:05:18.000And there was a time when CPAC could say the same.
02:05:24.000So all these gatekeepers are befuddled and perplexed that I would throw that all away and support what you were all doing and make all of these sacrifices and commit career suicide.
02:05:37.000They all cackle and heckle while they say that and work in their comfy, subsidized cubicles, writing my 1000th obituary.
02:05:48.000But my message and my focus have never wavered over a quarter century.
02:05:57.000And it would be a waste of my own parents' sacrifice, a waste of our founders' hard work and toil, a waste of the First Amendment for me to be quiet.
02:06:15.000They're selling out America's college students, young workers, free thinking patriots who desperately need a voice and a venue for muscular nationalism immune from donor class corruption.
02:06:30.000I want to read the actual cowardly disavowal that I think not catalyzed, but fast forwarded.
02:06:46.000This is the actual disavowal that YAF gave.
02:06:49.000And by the way, this is such a very vivid illustration of what we have all referenced the collusion between the far left and the big business US Chamber of Commerce establishment right.
02:07:08.000Because I had given a speech at UCLA praising the Groyper Wars.
02:07:16.000Naming Nick Fuentes, which is you're not supposed to name the names, right?
02:07:27.000And, you know, over a hurried weekend, a decision was made for the official YAF organization to issue a disavowal that didn't name me because they don't like to name names.
02:07:42.000YAF gives a platform to a broad range of speakers with a range of views within the mainstream of conservative thought.
02:07:49.000Immigration is a vital issue that deserves robust debate.
02:07:54.000But there is no room in mainstream conservatism or at YAF for Holocaust deniers, white nationalists, street brawlers, or racists.
02:08:05.000I guess that covers all of us, doesn't it?
02:08:11.000So, they left the dirty work to their friends at the Daily Beast.
02:08:23.000Because if one reads this, one would have no idea that this was about me and this was about you.
02:08:29.000They leaked the story to the Daily Beast, which ran anonymous people quoted, anonymous YAF officials quoted as completing the disavowal and pulling the trigger.
02:08:47.000And what was perplexing to a lot of people is why all of these different people were listed here.
02:08:53.000Like, where did street brawlers come from?
02:08:56.000And that came from the fact that I had written a column that week before I spoke at UCLA that talked about the vacuum that Khan Inc. had left of putting boots on the ground for people who would truly advocate for America first.
02:09:16.000And of course, I talked about Groypers, I talked about young American tech workers, and I talked about the Proud Boys.
02:09:23.000And that's where all of these things came from.
02:09:29.000This is important because it shows you what they fear.
02:09:35.000They fear the idea that people are beginning to get out of their silos and connect with each other.
02:09:45.000And the reason why I believe they fear me the most is because I'm acting as a catalyst and a bridge.
02:09:54.000And I'm willing to do that because this is where I have always been.
02:09:59.000And I joked, I can't remember where it was, but I joked the other day that the reason why I have an affinity for kids who do video from their basement is because I was sort of a grandmother of that.
02:10:13.000The very first group blog that I founded, and I know this is ancient history, was a blog that created video content from my basement with one of the green screens, like that's this big, that would bleed out, right?
02:10:34.000Seven hours to upload a 10 minute video.
02:10:39.000And so I've seen the evolution and the magic of the power of the internet.
02:10:46.000And it's why I have also been at the forefront of defending so many people who've used these platforms that are now being yanked for them, whether I agree with them on 100% issues or not.
02:10:58.000I mean, I've been married to my husband for 26 years.
02:11:00.000There's nobody on the planet that will agree with 100% of what I have to say or think.
02:11:07.000And the war on free speech, as I elaborated in Open Borders Inc., is tied to the war on American sovereignty.
02:11:18.000It's not a coincidence that Silicon Valley is behind all of it and that both parties are sold out to these speech squelchers and sovereignty saboteurs.
02:11:32.000It's important to stick together like glue.
02:11:34.000That's a phrase that Donald Trump used a couple of weeks ago when.
02:11:40.000He was giving backhanded praise to the Democrats after impeachment.
02:11:44.000He said, You know, they're vicious and they stick together like glue.
02:12:09.000We have to wrap up, and I just want to say a couple of things on a personal level.
02:12:14.000I really do believe that my role as a mother informs the choices that I have made.
02:12:21.000And at some point, there will be a passing of the torch.
02:12:25.000I will not be doing what I've done for 25 plus years.
02:12:28.000And I had always woken up, especially in the last couple of years, thinking before I knew all of you, that I would have to do it until I was 70 or 80 or 90 because there was no one else to take up the legacy.
02:12:44.000The Light Brigade, the America First Brigade, are well positioned to do what so few other grassroots revolts and rebellions have succeeded in doing.
