America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - The Antifa Effect | America First Ep. 118

00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:03.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you today.

00:00:10.000 Great shows all throughout the week.

00:00:13.000 We're very excited to be back this week with some hot content.

00:00:17.000 Some hot content coming to you raw, straight out of the oven, hot and ready, raw and uncut, live and uncut for you here on America First.

00:00:28.000 So get comfortable.

00:00:29.000 So get comfortable, buddy, because you're about to strap yourself in.

00:00:33.000 Hold on to your diapies because we got hot content coming at you.

00:00:37.000 But there's so much to talk about, so many things going on in the world today, so many things going on in this country, things going on with the Nick Nation, with the Vindication Nation. 0.56

00:00:48.000 It's just an exciting time to be alive.

00:00:50.000 We got to talk about the Italian elections this weekend, the results of them.

00:00:55.000 The right wing is back, populism is ascendant, the Eurosceptics are there. 0.99

00:01:01.000 We're deporting the illegal immigrants. 0.98

00:01:03.000 Looks like we're going to have our guys in charge in parliament there. 1.00

00:01:07.000 We got to talk about the Oscars.

00:01:08.000 We got to talk about what the hell was going on last night at the Oscars.

00:01:13.000 Very political, very left wing.

00:01:15.000 Viewership is like this it's just straight down.

00:01:18.000 They're doing terribly.

00:01:19.000 We got to talk about my debate with Sticks, Hex, and Hammer over the weekend on religion.

00:01:25.000 That was very exciting.

00:01:27.000 Very good.

00:01:28.000 I won the debate.

00:01:29.000 Spoiler alert, surprise, surprise.

00:01:31.000 The poll came back 1,822 votes in, and I overwhelmingly took the W with 72% of the vote.

00:01:39.000 We'll be talking about that.

00:01:39.000 So that was a great time.

00:01:41.000 But first, I have to say, these are just some very brief little nuggets I'm going to throw at you before we dive deep into anything.

00:01:48.000 I'm reading an article today on antiwar.com.

00:01:52.000 And this is a great source, by the way, for anybody that reads nudes.

00:01:56.000 You know, this is one of the first things that I check out when I prepare for my show.

00:01:59.000 I do BBC, I do Fox News, I do antiwar.com.

00:02:03.000 And a great source.

00:02:04.000 But I'm reading that some senator is in the Senate today talking about how the United States is losing its grip over Somalia, how our troops in Somalia.

00:02:15.000 Are not doing a very good job at holding ground, but basically just keeping things stable.

00:02:20.000 And I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute, back up, back up, back up for a minute. 0.86

00:02:24.000 Boots on the ground in Somalia. 0.98

00:02:26.000 Who had ever heard of such a thing?

00:02:27.000 You know, people talking about boots on the ground in Syria, troops in Iraq, troops in Afghanistan, the surge in Afghanistan.

00:02:35.000 And this senator saying, yeah, well, our troops aren't doing a very good job in Somalia.

00:02:38.000 And I'm thinking, hold the phone.

00:02:41.000 I think we can't even keep track of all the places where we're involved, all the conflicts we have our troops engaged in.

00:02:47.000 We had that.

00:02:48.000 Incident in Niger or Niger last year. 1.00

00:02:52.000 We have people in Syria.

00:02:53.000 We have people in Iraq.

00:02:54.000 People in Afghanistan. 0.99

00:02:57.000 When is enough enough, folks? 1.00

00:02:58.000 So I saw that, and that was pretty outrageous, pretty wild.

00:03:01.000 And then the other thing I'm seeing today is we have Antifa all over the place.

00:03:06.000 This is not just, I mean, the biggest example is Richard Spencer this afternoon, but you saw Antifa at a Christina Hoff Summers speech, which this is a feminist.

00:03:16.000 This is a woman and a feminist nonetheless, who.

00:03:19.000 You know, people like myself, people on the far right, people on the alt right would say she's not right wing at all. 0.99

00:03:24.000 She's a libertarian.

00:03:25.000 They go after her.

00:03:27.000 They go after Sargon of Akkad.

00:03:28.000 I don't know where he was speaking, but they came after his event.

00:03:31.000 They disrupted his speech.

00:03:32.000 They came after the Night for Freedom with Mike Cernovich and Miley Yiannopoulos in D.C.

00:03:37.000 They went after Richard Spencer this afternoon.

00:03:41.000 And it's just fascinating because you'll have these people like Christina Hoff Summers who say, no, no, no, we're not racist.

00:03:47.000 No, no, we're not fascist.

00:03:48.000 We're not Nazis.

00:03:50.000 And Antifa shows up anyway.

00:03:52.000 And of course, regardless of that fact, what do they get called in the media?

00:03:56.000 What do they get called by the far left?

00:03:57.000 What happens at their events?

00:03:59.000 Antifa shows up and you hear the no, no Nazi, no KKK, no fascist USA, no matter where you go, no matter what you say, no matter how you try and spin it, no matter how you try and say, oh, no, I'm not that.

00:04:11.000 I'm not a racist.

00:04:12.000 I'm not this or that.

00:04:14.000 But they come anyway, and they come anyway.

00:04:17.000 And all the while, I'm watching these events, particularly, I'm watching the Christina Hoff Summers event.

00:04:22.000 And here she is, she's giving her speech.

00:04:24.000 And Antifa gets up, like physically, they get up next to her and in front of her.

00:04:30.000 There's no security, I guess.

00:04:32.000 There's no police.

00:04:33.000 They are allowed to just bum rush the stage with their banners and chanting and singing for like a long period of time.

00:04:40.000 This is a sustained occupation of the stage.

00:04:43.000 And I'm watching this and I'm thinking, where's the police?

00:04:46.000 Where's the security?

00:04:48.000 I'm watching the Sargon event, the same thing.

00:04:50.000 How are people not preventing this kind of stuff?

00:04:53.000 And then you understand that just like at Charlottesville, the police often are in cahoots.

00:04:57.000 They're working with the left wing to suppress right wing voices.

00:05:00.000 And even if You know, I guess Christina Hoff Summers is ostensibly, she's relatively right wing compared to how far to the left these other people have gone.

00:05:07.000 But some observations I've made about Antifa is this.

00:05:10.000 The first is this I think they are a benefit to us.

00:05:16.000 We maximize how much of a boon they are to us.

00:05:20.000 The greater the dissonance is, the greater the disconnect is between what they say we are and what we actually are.

00:05:27.000 And let me tell you what I mean by this.

00:05:29.000 When they show up to Christina Hoff Summers' speech, And this is a feminist, this is a liberal. 0.86

00:05:35.000 You know, you go back to 1995, she would be a liberal.

00:05:37.000 This is a woman, obviously somebody who is not racist, who is not all these other things, who doesn't even associate with the fringe elements in the right wing. 0.98

00:05:46.000 And they show up in their black masks and their black outfits, crazy and wild, calling her a fascist and a Nazi. 0.98

00:05:53.000 And a normal person would say, here are these lunatic left wing people yelling about racism and Nazis and this and that. 0.98

00:06:02.000 And most people can reasonably listen to a Christina Hoff Summers speech or a book or a lecture and say, okay, well, she's not any of those things. 0.61

00:06:09.000 She's not a fascist. 0.65

00:06:10.000 She's not a Nazi.

00:06:11.000 She's not a racist.

00:06:12.000 And the greater the disconnect between what is being said and what actually is, I think the more people are driven to the right, the more people are driven away from the far left because they say, well, here's somebody who we can all agree is not that, even when they show up to a Ben Shapiro speech, not in any capacity to defend Ben Shapiro, but they'll show up to his speech and call him a fascist and a Nazi.

00:06:33.000 It's like, here's a Jewish person.

00:06:34.000 Here's a. 0.76

00:06:35.000 In many ways, a Jewish supremacist. 0.62

00:06:36.000 Here's a Zionist in no way, shape, or form is that close to national socialism or anything like that. 1.00

00:06:42.000 And people hear what's being said and they can judge for themselves and they say, okay, you're ridiculous. 1.00

00:06:47.000 These left wing people are idiots. 1.00

00:06:49.000 And maybe I'm thinking more to the right because the left is out of control. 1.00

00:06:53.000 But when Antifa shows up to the Richard Spencer event in Michigan this afternoon, and who do they find?

00:06:59.000 They find Matt Heimbach and the Traditionalist Workers' Party, and Matt Heimbach takes off of his national socialism or death tour.

00:07:08.000 To serve as the protection squad for Richard Spencer, and they're out there with their, you know, in equally in their black costumes, yelling about Jews, yelling about their Nazi talk, like literal national socialist talking points.

00:07:23.000 And you have the left wing coming up and saying, hey, get these Nazis out of our town. 0.99

00:07:27.000 The normal observer is going to say, okay, both of these people are crazy. 1.00

00:07:31.000 The fascists are crazy and the anti fascists are crazy. 1.00

00:07:34.000 These guys actually are. 1.00

00:07:36.000 They actually are national socialists.

00:07:37.000 That's what they say they are, at least in the case of.

00:07:40.000 Matt Heimbach, but then here are these anarchists, and we don't like either of them.

00:07:44.000 So I think, regardless of what you might think about either side, regardless of what you might think about Heimbach and traditionalist workers and all that stuff, in terms of appealing to the masses, in terms of getting people into our camp, maximizing the amount of damage that is done to the left by Antifa, it does us a lot of good for us to show up in a clean shirt and tie, like an American, waving the American flag, talking about families, talking about traditionalism,

00:08:12.000 talking about You know, the things that we talk about in this show, putting America first and then calling us fascists and Nazis, then to show up and say, hey, we're the National Socialists.

00:08:21.000 Where's our rally?

00:08:22.000 Where's the rally where we, you know, I think you lose people?

00:08:25.000 So that's my observation on Antifa.

00:08:28.000 It's just a real shame.

00:08:29.000 Regardless of what you think about any of them Cernovich, Summers, Akkad, Spencer, they all have a constitutional right to speak.

00:08:37.000 Maybe not Sargon because he's in Britain and they don't have any rights.

00:08:40.000 But in the United States, you have a constitutional right to assemble, you have a constitutional right to express yourself.

00:08:47.000 And what the government and what the left wing protesters are doing is not only wrong, not only unethical, not only immoral, but it's not legal.

00:08:56.000 It's unconstitutional for them to do this.

00:08:58.000 You can have a protest outside the event, but when they storm the stage, when they go and they just start yelling, excuse me, in the middle of an event, or in many cases people pay to have that space, in many cases it's at a public university, so that qualifies as having to abide by the Constitution, it's just blatantly illegal.

00:09:16.000 And you'll notice that when it's a left wing protest, it's a left wing speech, it's any that kind of stuff.

00:09:23.000 There is a clear separation between counter protests and the speakers, and our counter protesters are nothing like the left.

00:09:28.000 So that's just my observation on that.

00:09:30.000 But to get into a little bit, we're going to get into the news, but first we have to get into the Styx debate because I really want to do a little bit of a recap.

00:09:38.000 For those of you guys that missed it, me and Styx Hexenhammer, 666, who is a pagan, not a Satanist, we had to be very careful during the debate.

00:09:47.000 He says, no, no, no, no, I'm not a Satanist, I am an apotheist, and he's Also believes in spirituality and he also believes in some occult pagan type stuff.

00:09:56.000 So you have to be very careful.

00:09:57.000 Not a Satanist just worships diamonds and things of this nature, but we had our debate.

00:10:03.000 And my first comment on it, well, my first comment is that I won.

00:10:06.000 My first comment is that regardless of what the poll said, and the poll that was retweeted by both myself and Sticks said, I won 72 to 30 or 28% rather with the most votes out of any of the polls.

00:10:19.000 But I don't even think that's important because it was a good discussion.

00:10:22.000 It was a Really, a fantastic discussion between two very educated people on the subject.

00:10:27.000 And admittedly, theology, religion is not my specialty.

00:10:31.000 I don't pretend it's my specialty.

00:10:32.000 I don't pretend it's my area of expertise.

00:10:35.000 But I do believe that I'm more familiar with a lot of the arguments than most.

00:10:39.000 Sticks, Hex, and Hammer, same can be said about him.

00:10:42.000 I think he's very learned about the occult and that kind of thing.

00:10:45.000 Maybe not so much on the religious side, but I think he knows what he talks about in his show, which is the occult and the witchcraft and that kind of thing.

00:10:52.000 And I thought, regardless of who won, who lost, this is neither here nor there.

00:10:56.000 It was a civil debate.

00:10:59.000 It was very civil in the sense that with the RC debate and the Halsey debate, it got pretty ugly at certain points with the name calling, the insults, the ad hominems.

00:11:07.000 With me and Styx, it was totally about the issues.

00:11:10.000 And friendly guy, I have to say, Styx, Hexenhammer, as much as I disagree with his worldview and I think it's degenerate and no good and hedonistic and doesn't work, I think he's a solid guy.

00:11:21.000 I think he's a nice enough guy.

00:11:22.000 So that was very cool.

00:11:24.000 But I will say about the debate, the reason why I don't think it's really important who won and who lost was because the scope of the debate was too large.

00:11:33.000 In the sense that we did not come together to debate a single central claim of whether God exists, whether Jesus Christ existed, whether, you know, X, Y, or Z.

00:11:44.000 It was this amalgamation of different topics.

00:11:47.000 And in many ways, that made it interesting.

00:11:48.000 In many ways, I think that made it lively and fun.

00:11:51.000 And we covered a lot of ground and that made it a good discussion.

00:11:53.000 But that's not really how a debate is supposed to function.

00:11:56.000 It's supposed to be about a claim and prove it or disprove it.

00:12:00.000 And we, over the course of that two hour debate, we touched on topics that you could spend.

00:12:05.000 Hours debating in and of themselves on an individual basis.

00:12:08.000 We covered the historicity of Jesus Christ and the authorship of the New Testament, which is a huge debate in itself.

00:12:17.000 We covered the existence of God.

00:12:19.000 We didn't even really get into that.

00:12:21.000 As much as I would have liked to, I would have loved to get into the cosmological arguments, the teleological, the ontological arguments for God's existence, but we covered that, didn't really get into that.

00:12:30.000 We got into the viability or maybe the authority of the Catholic Church and the difference between Protestants and the Catholics.

00:12:38.000 Why the rabbinical Jews are different than the Old Testament Jews, and just on and on and on between consequentialism and the deontological argument for religion.

00:12:48.000 I mean, so many things that could have been an hour or two or three or four hour debate in themselves.

00:12:53.000 So that's why I didn't really think it was totally that way, but the polls said otherwise.

00:12:57.000 But I did want to bring out my reading list for that debate because a lot of things were brought into it, and a lot of people said, wow, I learned a lot from this debate, and where can I learn more?

00:13:07.000 How can I learn more about these arguments?

00:13:09.000 And so I brought some of my books here.

00:13:12.000 Some of the books that I used to prepare for the debate, and I'll just give you a little bit of a reading list for Christianity for the things that were covered in that debate because these are important issues and they're not really covered.

00:13:26.000 I don't think there are very many articulate or well known defenders of the faith.

00:13:31.000 You can point to some of the intellectuals that are well known, maybe in the religious circles, but not really well known to others.

00:13:38.000 I'd like to just show you some of the books, some of the materials here.

00:13:41.000 I don't know if we'll get to all of them, but we'll get to some of them here.

00:13:44.000 For starters, we've got to start with Ed Fieser, Aquinas.

00:13:48.000 And this is just a beginner's guide to Thomas Aquinas and his theology.

00:13:52.000 For people that know, Thomas Aquinas was the preeminent, he is basically the official philosopher of the Catholic Church and of Christianity.

00:14:01.000 This guy was brilliant.

00:14:02.000 He was in the 13th century that he wrote his different texts on religion.

00:14:08.000 And he was one of the most prolific writers of all time, one of the greatest philosophers, religious, but certainly other philosophers of all time.

00:14:16.000 His masterwork, the Summa Theologica, Was a Herculean effort to prove the existence of God in one text.

00:14:23.000 And this was an introduction for beginners, actually, but it's a 5,000 page document on how God is real through reason, through rationality.

00:14:31.000 And so this is a great book to start on Aquinas and who he was and what he believed on ethics, on metaphysics, and all the rest.

00:14:39.000 Ed Fieser is also a great author.

00:14:40.000 There's another one by him as well.

00:14:43.000 The next book would be a continuation on that theme, which would be A Shorter Summa by Peter Kreeft.

00:14:50.000 And he actually wrote, Kreeft actually wrote, so the Summa Theologica, which is Aquinas' text on why God exists, Kreeft wrote a summary of that, which is 500 pages, and then he wrote a summary of a summary.

00:15:03.000 So you have the Summa, which is 5,000 pages, you have the summary by Kreeft, which is 500 pages, and then you have a shorter Summa, which is a summary of that summary.

00:15:13.000 It's some of the most important documents that are in the Summa, some of the best essays, basically gets you the gestalt without having to read a very dry.

00:15:21.000 And long and dense philosophical text.

00:15:24.000 This is a great starter for people that want to read what was actually in the text.

00:15:28.000 And Kreeft is a great scholar.

00:15:29.000 He wasn't a Catholic.

00:15:31.000 He grew up Protestant, but he came over to the church.

00:15:33.000 And you can watch some of his lectures on YouTube.

00:15:35.000 He's a really, really great thinker, a great speaker.

00:15:38.000 And he's got a book list of his own.

00:15:39.000 So a shorter summa. 0.99

00:15:41.000 Another one by Fieser, we have The Last Superstition, which is an answer to the new atheists. 0.96

00:15:47.000 So if you've heard the Richard Dawkins arguments, if you've heard Dennett, if you've heard Christopher Hitchens, who's the other one? 0.93

00:15:54.000 Noam Chomsky.

00:15:56.000 All these people that are against God, against religion, these vocal people from like the mid 2000s where they.

00:16:01.000 They made their rounds on college campuses, the skeptics, the secularists.

00:16:05.000 This book is the answer to all of them.

00:16:07.000 If you don't read any of these, read this book.

00:16:09.000 Very dense.

00:16:11.000 It's really tough to get through because it is some pretty heady philosophical language.

00:16:16.000 A lot of the language is technical, and Fieser does a great job of making it accessible, but that said, it is pretty difficult.

00:16:22.000 But this is a great one for anybody that struggles to come up with answers to arguments like why is there suffering?

00:16:27.000 Why are certain things that I don't understand not allowed in the Catholic religion?

00:16:32.000 And so on and so forth.

00:16:33.000 So, a great one there.

00:16:35.000 Mirror Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

00:16:37.000 This is a great introduction to Christianity.

00:16:40.000 Lewis is a great writer.

00:16:41.000 I mean, even atheists like him, even atheists read him.

00:16:44.000 He was the one who wrote Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, Screwed Tape Letters.

00:16:47.000 A lot of great fiction, but also one of the greatest apologists of the 20th century.

00:16:52.000 Another one who was Protestant came over to the Catholic Church, and this is a pretty good introduction for anybody that wants to get the essence of Christianity.

00:17:00.000 It's not the most theologically or historically informative in the sense that he's not going to lay down.

00:17:06.000 Like scholastic arguments for God's existence.

00:17:09.000 But I mean, this will do the trick for you as a person.

00:17:11.000 Maybe not to go into a debate, but for you personally.

00:17:15.000 What else do we have here?

00:17:16.000 Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.

00:17:18.000 This establishes the historicity of Jesus Christ, the historiography, why he was a real person, what evidence we have that he existed, what evidence we have that he was crucified, that he rose from the dead, that his tomb was empty, and why that proves that he did rise from the dead, and so on and so forth.

00:17:36.000 Here's another guy who was an atheist, lived a pretty rough life.

00:17:39.000 But came around to it when he looked into the question, did Jesus exist?

00:17:43.000 And there's a lot of great sources covered in here Josephus, Tacitus, a lot of the things we covered in the Styx debate are covered in here.

00:17:50.000 For Catholicism in particular, I would say this is a great primer, which is Rediscover Catholicism by Peter Kelly or by Matthew Kelly.

00:17:59.000 And this is a good one, really covers just about everything lifestyle, theology, history.

00:18:04.000 This is a great starter for anybody that maybe they don't know that much about Catholicism.

00:18:08.000 And I get people that genuinely ask me all the time.

00:18:11.000 On the show on Discord.

00:18:12.000 Nick, why are you Catholic?

00:18:13.000 Nick, why are you Catholic and not Protestant?

00:18:15.000 Nick, what do you think about X, Y, and Z?

00:18:17.000 This is for anybody interested in Catholicism in particular.

00:18:21.000 Well written, great defense of the faith.

00:18:22.000 Check that one out.

00:18:24.000 Another one on Catholicism.

00:18:26.000 This is also about history.

00:18:28.000 So, excuse me, Stix made some of these arguments during the debate, which are often made and not, I don't think, convincingly refuted enough in the mainstream.

00:18:36.000 Claims like the Catholic Church introduced us to the Dark Ages.

00:18:40.000 We were doing so well as the Roman Empire, and then Christianity came around. 0.92

00:18:44.000 And it plunged Europe into the Dark Ages, and they discouraged learning, and they fought science, and they killed all these scientists. 0.92

00:18:51.000 And this book basically proves that that's all BS, that the modern civilization you see today is as a result of the Catholic Church. 0.90

00:18:58.000 And I brought some of these arguments up in the debate. 0.93

00:19:00.000 Styx really didn't refute them. 0.98

00:19:02.000 That, for example, the Catholics invented the university system.

00:19:06.000 The monks, in many ways, preserved literacy, preserved the ancient text from the Greeks and the Romans.

00:19:11.000 That if you look at the Greek Dark Ages and contrast them with the European Dark Ages, the reason that literacy was lost.

00:19:17.000 For the Greeks was because they didn't have monks preserving the texts in the universities and the different places of worship there.

00:19:23.000 And so this is a great one about the history of it for people that are questioning that.

00:19:27.000 And then the last one I have here, another argument that was made during the debate was the religion of the founders.

00:19:34.000 And you'll hear this a lot from atheists that the founders were not really Christians.

00:19:39.000 They were deists or they believed in, you know, whatever.

00:19:43.000 They were just broadly monotheistic.

00:19:45.000 They believed in this clockmaker kind of stuff, but they really weren't Christian.

00:19:48.000 They really weren't devout.

00:19:50.000 And this book is a lot more, I think, about liberty.

00:19:53.000 It's a lot more, it's kind of like this Joshua Charles, who writes it, was on Glenn Beck's show, and we're not wild about Glenn Beck.

00:19:59.000 He does make a pretty strong historical case for why the founders were Christian.

00:19:59.000 But.

00:20:03.000 And he brings up letters between the founding fathers, documents, historical facts about them, which proves that no, America is a result of Christianity.

00:20:11.000 It's because of Christianity.

00:20:13.000 Not by accident was it Christian, and the founders were Christian as well.

00:20:16.000 So, a great book on that subject.

00:20:18.000 And that's just a brief reading list.

00:20:20.000 If you have any questions about that, feel free to put them in the super chat and we'll get to those.

00:20:24.000 And on that note, I'll also be getting the super chats from Friday that I didn't cover because we were doing the Collins show.

00:20:30.000 But I hope that's a good little starting book list.

00:20:33.000 It's an issue that isn't talked about enough.

00:20:35.000 We don't hear enough about it in the mainstream.

00:20:37.000 And the people that you usually do hear who defend the faith don't really know that much about it.

00:20:42.000 And maybe they pretend that they do.

00:20:44.000 I'm not saying I'm an expert, but I think we have a pretty good start with a lot of these books, a lot of these texts.

00:20:50.000 It's a broad subject that spans just about every field of study, and it's worth considering.

00:20:54.000 But a fun debate, a great time had by all, and really informative.

00:20:57.000 So you should check that out.

00:20:59.000 And it was on the My Name Is Al show, a great fella.

00:21:02.000 The tech was very solid, the questions were solid.

00:21:05.000 I really thought it was a great presentation.

00:21:06.000 But with all that out of the way, we'll have to, you'll have to pardon me.

00:21:11.000 I got to take a little sip of the water.

00:21:13.000 We've been flying at a mile a minute.

00:21:15.000 We're in Somalia.

00:21:16.000 We're back in Michigan.

00:21:17.000 And then we're in Portland.

00:21:19.000 And now we're going back to Rome.

00:21:25.000 So we'll have to take a little sip.

00:21:27.000 We'll have to do a little Chad Quench there.

00:21:29.000 But to get into the news then, I think we'll start actually with the Italian elections and then we'll get to the Oscars.

00:21:35.000 But the Italian elections were held yesterday.

00:21:37.000 We talked about this on.

00:21:40.000 Wednesday?

00:21:40.000 I think we talked about the Italian elections on Wednesday, made some predictions, but just generally took a look at what was happening in Italy, analyzed what was happening, what are the consequences of it, what's the broader significance, what's the context of these elections that were happening in Italy over the weekend.

00:21:57.000 And we saw on Wednesday that going into the election, it was really not going to be a surprise the outcome.

00:22:02.000 You had the five star movement, you had the right wing coalition, and you had the left wing coalition.

00:22:07.000 And everybody predicted the left was going to take a dump, they were going to be really terrible.

00:22:12.000 Right wing coalition would be ascendant, five star movement would be ascendant.

00:22:15.000 And this essentially played out on Sunday.

00:22:17.000 The final results of the election were that the right wing coalition won 37% of the vote, not a majority, but I mean, that's a pretty significant plurality of the vote.

00:22:27.000 The leader of the five star movement, DeMaio, and the five star movement broadly won 32.6% of the vote, coming in second.

00:22:35.000 And then the last of the major coalitions, there were other parties, there were 20 parties actually that were in the election.

00:22:42.000 The last of the major coalitions, the left wing coalition headed by Matteo Renzi, came in last with 22.8%, last in terms of coalitions, not parties.

00:22:53.000 And so now we will see what will happen.

00:22:55.000 There'll have to be some kind of a coalition formed.

00:22:58.000 And you can see that these really ate up a majority of the vote.

00:23:01.000 This is about, what, 70, 90% of the vote came in for these major coalitions.

00:23:07.000 And it's looking like, it's tough to say now because it is going to be a hung parliament for some time.

00:23:12.000 It's pretty up in the air what kind of government will form.

00:23:15.000 But it's looking like it could be a possibility that the right wing coalition, which will be headed by Matteo Salvini, who is the leader of the Lega party or the League party, will form a coalition with the Five Star Movement.

00:23:28.000 And what is consequential about this is that both of these parties are anti elite, anti European Union.

00:23:35.000 Or not anti European Union, but they're Euro skeptic.

00:23:37.000 They both want, regardless of their takes on the economy or on immigration, they are both skeptical of the European Union.

00:23:44.000 They're both for restoring sovereignty.

00:23:46.000 Back to the people of Italy.

00:23:48.000 Additionally, in the context of the right wing coalition, if you'll recall, we talked about on Wednesday how the two major leaders in the right wing coalition were going to be Berlusconi, who could not hold public office, but he was leader of Forza Italia, and Salvini, who is the leader of the League.

00:24:06.000 And basically, the deal that they came to was whichever party gets more votes within the right wing coalition, if it came down to forming a government and they were in the plurality, whoever got more votes within the coalition.

00:24:18.000 Would become the prime minister.

00:24:20.000 And that was between whoever would be for Forza Italia and the more establishment, or would it be the League and the Northern Separatists, which would be headed by Salvini?

00:24:28.000 And Salvini ended up winning by far and away more votes than Forza Italia.

00:24:32.000 And it looked like even though people were voting right wing in this election, and the right wing coalition obviously won the plurality of the votes, they didn't just break for any right wing parties.

00:24:41.000 They broke for anti establishment right wing parties, which is very significant.

00:24:46.000 And so now you have one of the three founders of the European Union, one of the three.

00:24:50.000 One of the three founding member states of the European Union having a parliament, a majority in parliament, a government in parliament that is European skeptic, that is hostile to the European Union in many ways.

00:25:04.000 And this is what we forecasted last week, essentially, but now you have the dominoes that are starting to fall.

00:25:10.000 We saw this in the Netherlands with Geert Wilders.

00:25:12.000 We saw this in France with Marine Le Pen.

00:25:15.000 We saw this in the Brexit with the UK.

00:25:17.000 We see this in Germany with Alternative for Deutschland, who is now polling at number two.

00:25:22.000 In the country, I think the second biggest party in the country.

00:25:25.000 We've already seen it in places like Austria with their new prime minister, in Poland and Hungary, which are now stridently ethnic nationalist and opposed to the European Union.

00:25:34.000 And now we're seeing, and this is a major step, this is a serious departure from how things used to be.

00:25:40.000 One of the founding member states of the European Union, one of the pillars, one of the three pillars, one of the biggest economies in the Eurozone.

00:25:48.000 Not only did they have a candidate who came close, now they have a parliament which will be headed, have a majority that is Eurosceptic.

00:25:57.000 And what's also a white pill, beside that fact, what's also a white pill is just in the policies.

00:26:02.000 Because you look at the right wing coalition here, and their platform during the election was to deport illegal migrants.

00:26:07.000 They said they wanted to deport 600,000 illegal migrants, which is pretty big because you consider that it was, what, 400 and some thousand that came here since 2013?

00:26:19.000 And they wanted to deport 600,000.

00:26:21.000 So they're going to reverse, if this goes through, if they're able to do it, both fiscally and politically.

00:26:27.000 They will be undoing something like five or six or seven years of mass immigration.

00:26:32.000 They're going to take control of the border. 0.99

00:26:33.000 They're going to stop these people from coming here.

00:26:35.000 And the leader of the Five Star Movement and the Right Wing Coalition are opposed to the Dublin Regulation.

00:26:42.000 And this was a big area of contention during the election.

00:26:44.000 The Dublin Regulation says that if a migrant lands on your soil, he gets asylum in your country, essentially.

00:26:52.000 And it's funny because if you look up the Dublin Regulation, they'll say, oh, well, this is a way to prevent migrants from applying for asylum in multiple countries.

00:27:00.000 But really, what it means is.

00:27:01.000 Is that whichever country plays a bigger part in the initial phases of an asylum getting into Europe?

00:27:07.000 They have to register in that country. 0.73

00:27:09.000 So, when these migrants are coming across the Mediterranean and they come to Italy because Italy is sticking out into the Mediterranean, well, all of them have to take up asylum in Italy, and they all stay in Italy. 0.53

00:27:20.000 And so, these two parties, the right wing coalition, the five star movement, they want to revise the Dublin regulation. 0.93

00:27:25.000 They want to distribute the asylum seekers to other countries in Europe, get the burden off of Italy, and they want to deport the illegal immigrants.

00:27:33.000 And so, that's on immigration, on the European Union. 0.90

00:27:35.000 They want to take back sovereignty from the European Union.

00:27:38.000 They want to have Italians first economic policy, protect made in Italy projects or products.

00:27:45.000 They want to reject a lot of European Union regulations.

00:27:48.000 So it's a very big white pill for Italy.

00:27:50.000 And this tells us, again, as we said last week, and not to spend too much time on it again, but this tells us something broadly about Europe and also about the Western world in general, which is that we can only be pushed so far.

00:28:03.000 And hopefully this holds true not just for Italy, but for France and Germany and the UK and America as well. 0.93

00:28:09.000 But at a certain point, the native people say enough is enough.

00:28:13.000 We don't care what you call us.

00:28:14.000 We don't care if you call us racist.

00:28:16.000 We don't care if you call us fascist.

00:28:18.000 We don't care if the central, faraway international government has a problem with what we're saying or what we're doing.

00:28:23.000 We want our country back.

00:28:23.000 We don't care.

00:28:25.000 We want things to make sense.

00:28:27.000 We want them to be like they used to be.

00:28:29.000 And you know what?

00:28:29.000 We had economic recessions before, and we've had wars before, and we had poverty before, and we had suffering before.

00:28:36.000 We had a nation.

00:28:37.000 At the very least, we had a country that made sense.

00:28:40.000 We had a country that looked like our ancestors' country, and we would have a country to give to posterity that looked like that.

00:28:47.000 And at a certain point, it looks like, without fail, from Poland to Hungary to Austria to Chechnya to Germany, France, Denmark, the UK, and now Italy, people say enough is enough.

00:28:59.000 And hopefully, it's only a matter of time.

00:29:02.000 I think what we'll see in this country is something very similar.

00:29:04.000 I think Donald Trump was not a one and done.

00:29:07.000 I don't think that was a fluke.

00:29:08.000 That wasn't Russia.

00:29:09.000 I think you'll actually see us grow stronger. 0.86

00:29:11.000 Since then, because as people's communities, as people's cities, their schools, their neighborhoods transform, and they see what mass immigration and multiculturalism has wrought, they're going to stop caring.

00:29:23.000 They will care a lot less about what they're called by these celebrities, by the media, by the bankers, by the businessmen and the politicians, because they're going to want their kids to go to school and be safe.

00:29:34.000 They're going to want to go to a PTA meeting and be able to speak the same language as everybody there and have community involvement.

00:29:41.000 They're going to want to see their neighborhoods safe where they're coming home from work or their kids are coming home from school.

00:29:46.000 And they're not getting beaten up by low income people or other types of people.

00:29:51.000 They're going to want to live in places that are coherent, that make sense, where they are comfortable, where they are similar in manners and customs like the founders intended.

00:29:59.000 And so hopefully what we see in Italy abides to some kind of transitive property that what we see in Italy will happen to the rest of Europe and will happen here. 0.92

00:30:09.000 And that should be a major white pill. 0.83

00:30:10.000 People say demographics are not on our side.

00:30:13.000 And in a way, they're right because the people that are coming here vote Democrat, right? 0.99

00:30:17.000 They vote Democrat.

00:30:18.000 They vote in a way that we don't like.

00:30:21.000 And they're hostile to the kind of country that we want to have.

00:30:23.000 They oppose the heritage and the ancestry and the culture of the country.

00:30:28.000 But in another way, demographics are on our side, in the sense that the more they try to revise the current order, these revisionist actors that are coming into our country, the more that they try and change and transform and disrupt the coherent identity of this country, the more people will push back.

00:30:45.000 The more people will say, enough is enough.

00:30:47.000 We want a country that makes sense.

00:30:49.000 And you saw that at CPAC.

00:30:50.000 I think that's a big white pill that kind of coincides with that.

00:30:52.000 I mean, all that you're seeing is.

00:30:54.000 Kind of this revolt, this revolution, this counter reformation that's brewing from the very bottom of the pyramid, from the we the people, the working class.

00:31:03.000 You saw this at CPEC where you had Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Marion Le Pen, and it really looked like the free traders, the open border zealots were on the way out.

00:31:12.000 They were still there, but it looks like they were on the way out.

00:31:15.000 They were in some kind of organized retreat.

00:31:17.000 So a very big white pill on Italy. 1.00

00:31:19.000 Leave it to the Italians, right?

00:31:21.000 All people want to do is make fun of Italians. 0.99

00:31:23.000 They want to say, oh, Italians are black. 1.00

00:31:25.000 They want to say, oh, Italians are goofy. 1.00

00:31:28.000 Italians are Southern. 0.99

00:31:30.000 Italians are Mediterranean.

00:31:31.000 They're not this. 0.99

00:31:32.000 They're not that.

00:31:33.000 And, you know, look who ends up saving the day, as always.

00:31:36.000 Italians, we get the job done.

00:31:38.000 Look, Roman Empire, the Renaissance, Mussolini, you know, we've done it all.

00:31:44.000 We've been there, done that, got the t shirt. 0.98

00:31:47.000 Leave it to the Italians to fix the country, right? 1.00

00:31:50.000 So that was, and yours truly, right? 0.87

00:31:52.000 So that was the Italian elections.

00:31:53.000 The last thing I want to talk about before we get into your super chats, and we'll leave a little bit more time because we have the super chats from tonight and we have the super chats from Friday, which I promised we'd get into.

00:32:04.000 But we have to talk about the Oscars, which.

00:32:07.000 I watched it so you wouldn't have to, all right?

00:32:09.000 People say, Nick, why do you even watch the Oscars?

00:32:11.000 Nick, why do you do this, that?

00:32:12.000 Look, I go to the movies, I watch the Oscars, I bear this propaganda so you don't have to, so I can deliver the after game report, you know, whatever you want to call it, and spare you from the pain.

00:32:27.000 But the reason, I will say, before we get into why we watch the Oscars, why we talk about the Oscars, here's why the Oscars are important.

00:32:36.000 Here's why.

00:32:36.000 It's important what these celebrities say and whether or not you didn't watch it, whether or not you think it's propaganda or you think they're lost on the country.

00:32:45.000 And they were down in big numbers in terms of audience, but this was still the third most watched television event of the year and will be the third most watched television event of the year.

00:32:56.000 Biggest non sporting television event of the year.

00:33:00.000 And so whether or not you like it, whether or not you agree with it, people are watching this and consider what it represents.

00:33:06.000 This is not just people going to this award ceremony.

00:33:09.000 They're celebrating.

00:33:10.000 These are the people making the big movies.

00:33:13.000 So, this is an awards show that may be highly politicized.

00:33:16.000 And you could say, I don't like that actor, and I don't like that director, and I don't like this general group of people who seems to control everything that comes out of Hollywood.

00:33:23.000 But you have to consider this is the most watched television, non sporting event of the year.

00:33:28.000 And who are the people presenting this highly politicized, highly popular affair?

00:33:32.000 It's the people that are in the movies, that make the movies.

00:33:34.000 And what are the movies but these big attractions that influence culture, that create culture in many ways?

00:33:41.000 That millions of people go to see every year and they pay money to see every year.

00:33:45.000 And these movies, whatever you talk about, whether it's short films or commercials or it's blockbusters or independent films, they shape people's political opinions and other opinions about the world.

00:33:57.000 They shape how people understand the world outside of their experience.

00:34:02.000 You see this with all the liberals who bring up the Harry Potter analogies after the election or the Star Wars analogies or the Stranger Things analogy.

00:34:10.000 You know, you hear this all day long.

00:34:12.000 Whenever Trump does something, it's, oh, well, in Harry Potter, we fought the big wizard man and the big dragon man.

00:34:19.000 And in Stranger Things, the little girl fought the dark monster guy.

00:34:24.000 And it's just like the Parkland shooting.

00:34:26.000 So, whether or not you like it, this is culture.

00:34:29.000 Most people are apolitical.

00:34:30.000 This is the sad state of affairs.

00:34:32.000 Most people are not in tune to this stuff at all.

00:34:36.000 They're not right wing.

00:34:37.000 They're not left wing.

00:34:38.000 They're not following what happened with Richard Spencer.

00:34:40.000 They're not following what happened with Chapo Trap House and the left wing kind of stuff.

00:34:45.000 They're not reading about the.

00:34:47.000 Doings of all these different people.

00:34:49.000 The vast majority of people, and particularly young people, are apolitical.

00:34:53.000 They don't care.

00:34:54.000 What they know about politics is confined to what they see on Twitter moments, what they see on their Snapchat story on the tab where you get to see all the news stuff.

00:35:04.000 And most of them are apolitical.

00:35:05.000 They'll say, well, we just have the popular opinion about Trump and the popular opinion about this, but they're not really engaging with it.

00:35:11.000 And that's why movies, when they are politicized, even unconsciously or implicitly, they are important.

00:35:17.000 So what we saw at the Oscars, I think first it's notable that the power of the movies and of the Oscars is waning.

00:35:23.000 The writing is on the wall.

00:35:25.000 Since the Me Too stuff, since the Weinstein stuff, Hollywood's on the way out.

00:35:29.000 And it was already on the way out, by the way.

00:35:31.000 Not only did you have this major scandal this year or last year, but you had one of the worst box offices in decades over the summer, one of the worst memorial box offices in decades last year.

00:35:42.000 And you look at any of the records from last year, it was brutal.

00:35:45.000 Brutal.

00:35:46.000 Where many people are saying the studio system as it stands, where they make a couple of big blockbusters and that's how they make all their money to maybe finance more risky projects or more niche projects, not going to work anymore because people don't see the blockbusters.

00:36:00.000 But Beside the point, they were already having a bad year, and they had this bad year with the Me Too stuff.

00:36:06.000 And now you have at the Oscars, viewership was down 20% from last year.

00:36:11.000 They were down something like 7.5 million viewers, down to 26.5 million viewers, which is still big.

00:36:17.000 Still the biggest non sporting television event of the year.

00:36:20.000 This was the first time in history, in recorded history, since they started keeping metrics of how many people watch these things in 1976 when the Nielsen rating started.

00:36:31.000 That they were under 30 million views.

00:36:33.000 So every year since '76, they got over 30 million views.

00:36:36.000 This time they got under.

00:36:40.000 And also this year, this fell behind the open ceremonies for the Winter Olympics.

00:36:44.000 Usually it's the second biggest television event of the year behind the Super Bowl.

00:36:47.000 This year, it fell behind even the Winter Olympics opening ceremony.

00:36:51.000 So pretty brutal.

00:36:52.000 But if you watched it, and I only caught some of it, I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing.

00:36:56.000 I was basically tuning in and out of it.

00:36:59.000 You could not escape the political aspect, though.

00:37:01.000 For anybody that wanted to engage with this, not in a political way, who, you know, maybe they saw, and I don't know who even watched the movies that were up there for Best Picture.

00:37:09.000 It was, it was, who's the one guy?

00:37:12.000 Who's the guy who's retiring now?

00:37:14.000 Who is in, the name escapes me right now.

00:37:16.000 He was in There Will Be Blood, Daniel Day Lewis.

00:37:21.000 There was that fashion movie that he was in, which I don't even know the name of it.

00:37:24.000 Who saw that, right?

00:37:25.000 There was The Post with Meryl Streep, and that was so over the top, so obviously political.

00:37:31.000 Who saw that? 0.68

00:37:32.000 The Fish movie, the Bestiality movie that ended up winning, the Jewish pedophile movie, Call Me By Your Name, the. 0.89

00:37:39.000 What were the other movies? 0.78

00:37:41.000 The movie with the girl, which was called something.

00:37:44.000 It was called.

00:37:45.000 What was it called?

00:37:46.000 I don't even remember the names of the.

00:37:47.000 I mean, see, so nobody watched any of the big movies that were out there.

00:37:50.000 But regardless of that fact that nobody saw the movies, they were all very political movies, if you actually looked into the subtext of them, the implicit meanings of them.

00:37:58.000 But then on top of that, the introductions, you had Jimmy Kimmel who went up there and said about the gay movie, the pedophile movie, that. 0.92

00:38:05.000 The only reason we make these movies is to make Mike Pence mad. 0.91

00:38:08.000 And then you had this big long montage about how you had that Indian guy who was in that movie, The Big Sick, saying how, well, it's good that now movies are being made without straight white dudes in it. 0.93

00:38:20.000 And then you had this big song by this gorilla, by this whale of a woman. 0.77

00:38:25.000 And she was singing out about, you know, God knows what behind this audience of like the most disturbing looking individuals.

00:38:33.000 The one next to her was obviously like a man in a dress. 1.00

00:38:36.000 The Syrian refugee girl, you know, whatever her name is, she was in there.

00:38:41.000 And it was just this amalgamation.

00:38:42.000 This was like your typical civic nationalist display.

00:38:46.000 The part that I tuned in, you had two black actresses. 0.98

00:38:48.000 It was the one from SNL and then some other woman basically laughing at white people saying, Aren't white people so goofy? 1.00

00:38:55.000 Aren't white people so silly? 1.00

00:38:57.000 Aren't they so dumb? 1.00

00:38:59.000 And you got to wonder how this is going over with any real people in the country, how this is going over with any of the real people that are doing real things for a living, that are, you know, like, I don't know, building things with their hands, people doing the welding, people doing the plumbing. 0.99

00:39:15.000 People doing the electric work, people that are building things on assembly lines, building your car, building the roads.

00:39:22.000 You have to wonder how this goes over with those kinds of people.

00:39:25.000 Where you're a white guy and you work really, really hard, you work so hard just so your family can be above water in terms of you can put a roof over the head of your family and you could put dinner on the table and you could buy them a cell phone and whatever else, you could have internet.

00:39:40.000 And you work really hard for your money, you work five days a week, you come home so tired, you sit back on your reclining chair.

00:39:47.000 And you got the family portrait on the wall of old grandpa who was in the, he fought in World War II.

00:39:53.000 He fought in the Great World War II when he was called to defend.

00:39:58.000 It's dubious if we should have even been in that war, if that war should have even happened.

00:40:01.000 But he answered the call to go and serve his country.

00:40:04.000 And in World War I, they did it.

00:40:05.000 And he's got old Uncle Jimmy and he fought in Vietnam.

00:40:09.000 And he, if, depending on the state, he could go even way back to the Civil War, to the Revolutionary War.

00:40:14.000 He's got the old book, the old book of ancestry, where he could trace back his roots to Plymouth Rock.

00:40:19.000 And, you know, he sits back after a long day.

00:40:22.000 Hands dirty, belly full.

00:40:24.000 He's had a long day of machine noises ringing in his ear. 1.00

00:40:28.000 Turns on the television, and you've got these two black actors, these two black women, get up saying, Man, shit, aren't white people so dumb? 1.00

00:40:38.000 And how about how silly all those white people are? 1.00

00:40:40.000 How about how stupid they are with their clipboards flipping through it? 1.00

00:40:44.000 And then you got Fatty McFatface, woman, getting up there, belting it out, singing about, and she's, by the way, she's next to Common the Rapper. 1.00

00:40:53.000 You know, she's belting it out about, Fat women rule and you know, don't judge women. 0.91

00:40:58.000 We're breaking the glass ceiling, and the little Syrian girls in the background saying, Death to Assad, bring down another Middle Eastern dictator. 1.00

00:41:08.000 And then he got common, the rapper comes in next, writes for the immigrants and statues for the feminists, and we all dreamers and eat shit, Whitey. 1.00

00:41:18.000 And you're just sitting there. 1.00

00:41:21.000 Who is this resonating with?

00:41:23.000 Who is this made for? 0.89

00:41:24.000 What American. 0.99

00:41:25.000 Turns on this program and says, Damn, that was really entertaining. 0.99

00:41:30.000 Man, I'm really excited for the Oscars this year. 0.97

00:41:34.000 I can't wait to see the next movie.

00:41:36.000 I love these celebrities.

00:41:38.000 I got to meet Tom Hanks.

00:41:40.000 Who is this made for?

00:41:41.000 To what end do they make these ceremonies?

00:41:44.000 And people will say, Oh, Nick, Nick.

00:41:47.000 They say, Nick, it's not an agenda.

00:41:50.000 Nick, they're not doing this.

00:41:52.000 They're not doing this to convince people, to brainwash people, to indoctrinate people.

00:41:56.000 No, no, no.

00:41:57.000 It's a reflection of the times. 0.75

00:41:59.000 They're doing this to appeal to an organic sentiment in the country, which favors things like race mixing and diversity and sexual degeneracy and greed and avarice and all the rest.

00:42:11.000 And then you see something like this where it's failing.

00:42:14.000 Nobody's watching it.

00:42:15.000 Nobody's hearing it.

00:42:16.000 Even the celebrities say it's too much.

00:42:19.000 It's too political.

00:42:20.000 We don't want it to be like this anymore.

00:42:22.000 Everybody says it's enough already.

00:42:23.000 You turn on Stephen Colbert, and every episode it's like, All right, Trump's at it again.

00:42:30.000 Aren't we so mad about it?

00:42:31.000 They're not even hiding it anymore.

00:42:34.000 And here's why this is important.

00:42:36.000 Here's why this is a problem.

00:42:37.000 You could say, and again, just like those people who are telling me, just like this, this group of condescending people, I say, Nick, it's a reflection.

00:42:45.000 Those same people say, Well, Nick, so what?

00:42:47.000 So what?

00:42:48.000 It's the Oscars.

00:42:48.000 So what?

00:42:49.000 Who cares?

00:42:49.000 It's a movie.

00:42:50.000 You had a female and a black, you had the female Jedi and the black stormtrooper. 1.00

00:42:55.000 You know, the women want to be Ghostbusters. 1.00

00:42:55.000 Who cares? 1.00

00:42:58.000 The women want to be the casino robbers and the New Oceans movie. 1.00

00:43:01.000 Can you give them a movie? 1.00

00:43:02.000 All right.

00:43:03.000 Can you just chill out?

00:43:04.000 But you understand that the movies are not made, they're made for the adults to go and pay and see them.

00:43:09.000 But who are they really made for?

00:43:11.000 Really made for the children. 0.99

00:43:13.000 They're made for the young people. 0.98

00:43:15.000 We can be discriminating. 0.96

00:43:18.000 We can cipher out what is political and what is not.

00:43:22.000 There is this tribal influence.

00:43:25.000 There's this internationalist influence in our pictures, and there's the real story.

00:43:29.000 But our kids are not so discriminating.

00:43:30.000 Our kids are not smart enough.

00:43:32.000 So when they go and watch Star Wars, or they go and watch The Incredibles, and they go and watch Spider Man, and they go and watch, I could list off a number of blockbuster movies, and they see that gender roles are being redefined.

00:43:44.000 And they go into school and they interact with their friends and, you know, friends that are girls or friends that are boys, and they grow up as teenagers, and their experience or their knowledge of the world outside of their experience is the movies.

00:43:55.000 And they say, oh, well, maybe I'll stay home.

00:43:58.000 Because remember in Mr. Incredible?

00:43:59.000 Remember in Incredibles 2?

00:44:01.000 When Mr. Incredible stayed home and he supported his wife, who was a working woman?

00:44:05.000 Remember in Spider Man? 0.53

00:44:06.000 I kind of, I'm ashamed to be white.

00:44:09.000 You know, like remember in Spider Man when Zendaya said that the Washington Monument was built by slaves? 0.95

00:44:14.000 Or, hey, you know, Actually, I'm going to fall in love with somebody outside my race and pursue that because that's actually a good thing. 0.85

00:44:20.000 Because in Spider Man, they did it and it was okay. 1.00

00:44:23.000 And women can kick ass. 1.00

00:44:25.000 They're actually tougher than boys. 1.00

00:44:26.000 Like, remember in Ghostbusters?

00:44:28.000 And this is the problem.

00:44:29.000 This is the problem.

00:44:30.000 It comes down to a very psychological level.

00:44:34.000 People understand the world outside of their experience through culture.

00:44:38.000 That's the only way.

00:44:39.000 Think about it.

00:44:40.000 Most people will default, and you really have to, it's a very conscious thing to be aware of this.

00:44:45.000 You really have to think about how you make.

00:44:48.000 Your assumptions and your presuppositions about the world, nine times out of ten, it's influenced by something you saw in a commercial, in a television show, in a movie.

00:44:58.000 Not anyone, but the collection of it, which is the zeitgeist more broadly.

00:45:03.000 So that's why it's important.

00:45:04.000 That's why we've got to put a stop to it.

00:45:06.000 So that was the Oscars.

00:45:07.000 We're running out of time here.

00:45:08.000 We've got to get to your super chats.

00:45:10.000 It's just such a shame to see.

00:45:12.000 This used to be a classy production where your celebrities would show up in tuxedos and diverse points of view.

00:45:19.000 And even then, it was propaganda, but it wasn't so overt.

00:45:22.000 You could watch this show, you could watch the Oscars, this presentation, and say, This is nice.

00:45:28.000 This is fun.

00:45:30.000 There's my favorite actor.

00:45:31.000 We're celebrating their craft.

00:45:32.000 We're celebrating a good film about the human condition, a good story.

00:45:36.000 And they would make political jokes, but it was all in good taste.

00:45:39.000 It was all well intentioned.

00:45:40.000 It was like, How about this Reagan guy?

00:45:43.000 How about this Bill Clinton guy? 1.00

00:45:44.000 It wasn't, and suck it, drump, and the Dreamers are going to replace you, Whitey, and there's nothing you could do about it. 1.00

00:45:50.000 It was, Well intentioned. 1.00

00:45:52.000 It was well meaning.

00:45:52.000 It was soft.

00:45:53.000 It was light.

00:45:55.000 And nothing is like that anymore.

00:45:56.000 Nothing is like that.

00:45:57.000 Not the late night shows, not the Oscars, not the Grammys, not music, not film, not television.

00:46:03.000 Nothing.

00:46:04.000 It's all got to be political.

00:46:05.000 Everybody's got to be political.

00:46:07.000 Has to end.

00:46:09.000 But that was the Oscars.

00:46:10.000 We'll get into your super chats from Friday, and then I'll take your super chats from tonight.

00:46:16.000 So let's hop in here.

00:46:18.000 Where do I go to community?

00:46:19.000 There it is.

00:46:21.000 Trying to.

00:46:21.000 See, I've gotten much more adept since I've broken away from.

00:46:25.000 My other people, I've been able to figure out the tech here.

00:46:29.000 So, what was the fourth, the third?

00:46:31.000 So, was the second Friday?

00:46:34.000 Yeah, the second was Friday.

00:46:35.000 So let's pull it up here from Friday. 0.99

00:46:38.000 We have Beg Me With Some Shekels. 1.00

00:46:40.000 Then we have Hers. 1.00

00:46:42.000 Here's what I think.

00:46:43.000 Who says Basic options.

00:46:45.000 NJF is how your fasci haircut is supposed to look.

00:46:48.000 Yeah, that's a pretty good assessment in the sense that you don't want like a European style haircut.

00:46:53.000 You want something that is simply high and tight.

00:46:56.000 Men should have haircuts like this.

00:46:58.000 This is just true.

00:46:59.000 This is a biological fact of life that men's hair should be short, should be short like this, particularly in America.

00:47:06.000 And even mine is getting a little bit long, granted.

00:47:09.000 Young men, there used to be a chart.

00:47:10.000 When I go to my barbershop, there's a chart on the wall that says, like, these are the haircuts for boys.

00:47:15.000 And that's how it should be again.

00:47:16.000 Get it cut shorter on the sides.

00:47:18.000 You leave it longer on the top.

00:47:19.000 That's all you need. 0.91

00:47:20.000 You don't need this fasci shave it off on the sides and you look like Adolf Hitler.

00:47:24.000 You don't want that. 0.84

00:47:25.000 Just want it short, long on the top.

00:47:28.000 V says, Nick, I'm looking to buy a new knife.

00:47:30.000 Any ideas?

00:47:31.000 I'm not really a knife expert, okay?

00:47:32.000 Hate to break it to you.

00:47:33.000 People call me Nick the knife.

00:47:35.000 I pulled out, like, a Swiss Army knife that I had, a little pen knife, as a joke.

00:47:39.000 I'm not really an expert in knives.

00:47:41.000 Just get something that you can carry legally.

00:47:41.000 I don't know.

00:47:43.000 You have to look at what the laws are.

00:47:45.000 For example, my man, Joe the Boomer, sent me a knife, and it was longer than the legally mandated 2.5 inch limit on concealed carry knives.

00:47:55.000 So, I had to get a smaller one.

00:47:57.000 So, I'd say whatever the maximum is that's illegal to carry in your state.

00:48:01.000 Simon Skull, if I send a small knife, will you name it Nicklet?

00:48:04.000 I will do that if you do that.

00:48:07.000 Begbie, for the record, I did not give up alcohol for a lot of 12.

00:48:10.000 That's good to know.

00:48:12.000 And this fella, whose name is a little bit explicit there, says, We need some goys up at APAC this week to expose the nature of these transnational elites.

00:48:21.000 That would be nice.

00:48:22.000 I don't know how effective that kind of thing is.

00:48:24.000 Usually it just looks kind of crazy, but at APAC it might be effective.

00:48:27.000 That might be something IE could do because they do their optics pretty well these days.

00:48:35.000 Bruce Miller says, I only listen to shows on commutes.

00:48:39.000 I haven't listened to any episodes of your show since the podcasts.

00:48:43.000 Wondering if it could be brought back.

00:48:45.000 Well, again, you can get the podcast format of the show, the audio only format of the show, by signing up for America First Premium, $5 a month on maker support.

00:48:54.000 And we have some new podcasts in development, which you could also get.

00:48:58.000 That'll be $10 a month to get access to those.

00:49:00.000 Still hammering out what exactly you'll get.

00:49:03.000 But right now, as it stands, $5 a month for the premium gets you the podcast format of the show on SoundCloud.

00:49:09.000 So you should look into that, my guy.

00:49:11.000 Frederick White, Weapon of Mass Destruction, builds bridges, victory.

00:49:14.000 Hey, look, look.

00:49:16.000 I build bridges, all right?

00:49:18.000 The thing is, is that you have to be able to criticize.

00:49:21.000 You have to be able to have a strong bridge.

00:49:24.000 You have to have it tested.

00:49:26.000 I mean, look, people don't want to drive over a bridge that hasn't been tested, right?

00:49:30.000 When people build a bridge, you say, okay, well, it has to support this much weight.

00:49:34.000 It has to function.

00:49:35.000 And if it rains, it has to stand.

00:49:37.000 If it snows, it has to stand.

00:49:38.000 If there's an earthquake, it has to stand within reason.

00:49:41.000 You don't want a bridge that at the slightest, you know, somebody pokes it, it's just going to fall apart.

00:49:46.000 All the trucks fall into the ocean, they fall into the ridge.

00:49:49.000 Who builds a bridge over an ocean?

00:49:50.000 They fall into the river, they fall into the lake, whatever it is.

00:49:54.000 So, my process with building bridges is really just building relationships.

00:49:59.000 And relationships are strongest when they're tested and when adversity is overcome.

00:50:03.000 So, look, all the people that I feuded with for the past months, I basically rebuilt all those bridges.

00:50:08.000 It's not hard.

00:50:09.000 It's not hard.

00:50:10.000 You have to trust my judgment on these things.

00:50:13.000 Marcus Antonius, congrats on 100 plus premium memberships, big guy.

00:50:17.000 I predict a few zeros behind that.

00:50:20.000 Before Trump's next term.

00:50:21.000 Thoughts on the Oy Vang about Trump's trade war?

00:50:23.000 Well, thank you, my guy.

00:50:25.000 Thanks for 100 plus premium members.

00:50:28.000 Thanks to 10,000 subs on YouTube, 20,000 followers on Twitter.

00:50:33.000 I mean, we are feeling good.

00:50:35.000 The Nick Nation is stronger than ever.

00:50:37.000 Vindication Nation is the strongest it's been in years.

00:50:42.000 We are through the stratosphere like a rocket ship.

00:50:45.000 We're really doing well.

00:50:46.000 So, thank you for that.

00:50:47.000 And thoughts on the trade war?

00:50:49.000 Well, it's interesting how, you know, like on these very particular issues, everybody comes out with the same opinion, right?

00:50:57.000 Republicans concerned about Trump's trade war.

00:51:00.000 CNN concerned about Trump's trade war.

00:51:02.000 You know, whether it's the mainstream media, the Republicans, Conservative Inc., The campus reform, all these different actors, they all come out and say, No, no, no, we like free trade.

00:51:10.000 And what does that tell you?

00:51:11.000 Is free trade ideological?

00:51:13.000 Is free trade, you know, is that a right or a left?

00:51:16.000 It's a globalist issue.

00:51:17.000 Free trade is there because people pay people to be in favor of free trade.

00:51:21.000 That's where this zealotry comes from.

00:51:23.000 You think it's a coincidence that, oh, on this issue, everyone in the college Republicans, everyone in Young Americans for Liberty, everyone in AEI and Cato and all the rest, they all agree with CNN and they all agree with Paul Ryan.

00:51:35.000 And that's just a big coincidence.

00:51:37.000 They all just Believe in free trade?

00:51:39.000 Or do you think they all get paid by the same people that benefit from free trade?

00:51:43.000 So the people that are for trade war are the people affected by trade war, or rather, they're affected by free trade adversely.

00:51:50.000 The people that are against trade war are the people who are in on the take.

00:51:55.000 So those are my thoughts on trade.

00:51:58.000 And we got another one from Bruce Miller for the gym.

00:52:00.000 Recommend strong list five by five.

00:52:02.000 Start small.

00:52:03.000 You'll be swole before you know.

00:52:04.000 An app is great.

00:52:06.000 I got one and a quarter plates lifting to failure is no good.

00:52:11.000 Well, yeah, I did download that app.

00:52:12.000 Sean Hubris recommended that to me. 0.97

00:52:15.000 I mean, I got a plan prescribed to me by Tier, who happens to be a homosexual.

00:52:15.000 I don't know.

00:52:22.000 However, he's built, apparently.

00:52:25.000 He has some credibility.

00:52:26.000 People say he makes good workout plans, but I'll try both.

00:52:30.000 I'll try the 5x5, I'll try the Tier plan.

00:52:32.000 We'll see.

00:52:33.000 We'll have a real marketplace of ideas here.

00:52:37.000 Floortology.

00:52:38.000 And I did leg day the other day.

00:52:41.000 And I am in pain.

00:52:42.000 I have been in pain all day today from leg day.

00:52:46.000 My glutes hurt and my legs hurt, and it hurts to walk, and I don't like it.

00:52:52.000 But we have, but folks, but we have to do it because we have to be strong for when Halsey's war comes, for when the war that Halsey was talking about finally comes to my doorstep.

00:53:01.000 So it hurts, but you got to do it.

00:53:04.000 It wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't difficult.

00:53:06.000 It wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't a challenge.

00:53:08.000 You have to eat the pain, you have to take the pain.

00:53:10.000 But it is uncomfortable, it is unpleasant when it's happening.

00:53:15.000 AIM says, any opinion on Iceland banning circumcision? 1.00

00:53:19.000 It's a good thing. 1.00

00:53:20.000 Ban circumcision. 1.00

00:53:21.000 It's genital mutilation. 1.00

00:53:22.000 Got to get the circumcisers out. 1.00

00:53:24.000 Simon Skola, are you scum gang or dirt gang? 0.98

00:53:28.000 I haven't really been a part of that. 0.99

00:53:30.000 Apparently, there's been a civil war in my Discord between two rival gangs.

00:53:34.000 I haven't really made a decision.

00:53:36.000 I don't know enough about the two sides.

00:53:39.000 Josh Hill with some shekels. 1.00

00:53:41.000 Thank you, my guy.

00:53:42.000 Audie Johnson, can you please explain Zionism in your words?

00:53:46.000 People explain it differently.

00:53:47.000 Well, Zionism is something that surfaced in the 19th century.

00:53:50.000 One of the biggest leaders of it was Theodore Herzl.

00:53:54.000 And the idea was essentially to create a Jewish homeland.

00:54:00.000 And here's where the roots of it are the sense that since the second century AD, the Jews have been a people without a country, without a homeland, without territory to call their own.

00:54:10.000 Since they were expelled and the diaspora happened, and they were in Africa and in Europe and eventually in America, there were even Jews in Asia.

00:54:19.000 Not to the same extent as in Europe, but they're out there.

00:54:22.000 And since the diaspora, they've had no homeland.

00:54:25.000 The project in the 19th century was to say, okay, let's give them a country.

00:54:29.000 And they debated where they should put it down.

00:54:31.000 Should they put it in Central Africa?

00:54:33.000 Should they put it in Madagascar?

00:54:34.000 Should they put it in Paraguay?

00:54:36.000 Or I believe that was it Paraguay or Uruguay.

00:54:39.000 Should we put it in Europe?

00:54:40.000 Should we put it?

00:54:41.000 Eventually, they settled on Palestine.

00:54:43.000 Eventually, they settled on the eternal homeland that they came out of, Judea and Samaria.

00:54:48.000 And so, Zionism is not, I don't believe, so much religious.

00:54:51.000 I think it was really motivated by secularists, just that we want our own country.

00:54:56.000 And that was kind of an answer to what was called the Jewish question at the time, which is we have these people in Europe who don't assimilate, who are separate, who are alien. 0.57

00:55:05.000 Who people have a problem with them sometimes.

00:55:07.000 I mean, it was rampant throughout.

00:55:09.000 And, you know, they got expelled from all these different places.

00:55:12.000 And, of course, it was always the countries who expelled them fault.

00:55:15.000 It was never their fault.

00:55:16.000 And they said, well, how do we essentially solve this?

00:55:19.000 Because it didn't work when they were expelled because they came right back.

00:55:22.000 And it didn't work when they were given their own territory, when they were given the Pale of Settlement. 0.85

00:55:27.000 And it doesn't work when they try and assimilate because they don't assimilate. 0.64

00:55:30.000 So they said, why don't we just make our own country?

00:55:32.000 Why don't we just make our own little thing happen?

00:55:33.000 And they did.

00:55:34.000 And they did.

00:55:35.000 And there's a really great book on Zionism. 0.95

00:55:37.000 It's called Against Our Better Judgment by Allison Weir.

00:55:39.000 And I recommend that to everybody. 0.74

00:55:41.000 It lays out how the U.S. was used by the Zionists to create the modern Jewish state of Israel. 0.97

00:55:47.000 And pretty shady, pretty corrupt, treacherous stuff. 0.94

00:55:50.000 So I take a look at that to really get in the head of the Zionists. 1.00

00:55:54.000 But a great question. 0.92

00:55:56.000 Frederick White, Teddy K, counter signaled weight training.

00:55:59.000 Not good.

00:56:00.000 You got to lift weights.

00:56:00.000 Yeah, that's no good.

00:56:02.000 Eric Bjornsson, a lovely Perique blend in the pipe.

00:56:05.000 McAllen, 15 in the glass.

00:56:07.000 Fuentes on the screen.

00:56:09.000 Knickers are ascended.

00:56:10.000 Sounds like you're. 1.00

00:56:11.000 Leaving us all behind.

00:56:12.000 You are truly ascendant there with your vices there.

00:56:18.000 Sounds like a blast.

00:56:19.000 And that's how you're supposed to enjoy it.

00:56:20.000 It's supposed to be enjoyed.

00:56:22.000 The show is supposed to be enjoyed like a fine wine, like an aged brandy, like an old cigar.

00:56:29.000 Brosif says Mark Stein is hosting Tucker tonight.

00:56:31.000 You can guarantee I'm watching this instead.

00:56:33.000 My kind of guy.

00:56:34.000 My guy.

00:56:35.000 But we like Stein and Tucker too.

00:56:37.000 Begbie, can you edit the video description below to include the recommended reading asking for a friend?

00:56:42.000 Yeah, I could put the link in there.

00:56:45.000 Simon Skola, have you read The End of Faith by Sam Harris?

00:56:48.000 I have not.

00:56:50.000 C. Hall, MSU Raw Take.

00:56:52.000 One equals win, two equals lose.

00:56:54.000 And I guess he's saying that for the live chat.

00:56:58.000 Floortology, Nick, it is time to take back your Discord server.

00:57:02.000 A lot of bad optics going on with your admin and mods, my guy.

00:57:05.000 White Knights and Thought Sympathizers. 1.00

00:57:07.000 Well, I'll have to take a look. 0.61

00:57:08.000 We'll have to figure that out.

00:57:10.000 It can't happen much longer, folks.

00:57:12.000 Baroness Thompson, big fan, Nick.

00:57:14.000 What kind of knife do you recommend?

00:57:15.000 Something big, something that gets the job done and that's legal.

00:57:18.000 To carry.

00:57:19.000 But for home, as big as you can go, a machete, a bowie knife, who knows?

00:57:25.000 Let's see, what else do we have here?

00:57:27.000 And I think I got to refresh the page because some new ones are coming in, obviously.

00:57:33.000 We got to get some more water.

00:57:34.000 My throat's dry.

00:57:35.000 We took the weekend off and now my muscle memory's failing on me.

00:57:44.000 Got to love the big water.

00:57:45.000 We don't chill for blue pills and Books and that kind of thing, and mugs.

00:57:51.000 We show just for the plain old water, but you have to have it filtered.

00:57:54.000 Ian Weber, how do we successfully and effectively oust Richard Spencer?

00:57:57.000 I don't think we're trying to oust him because that's not our movement.

00:58:01.000 I am not alt right.

00:58:02.000 Alt right is not my movement.

00:58:03.000 That's why, in many ways, I've refrained from criticizing because people rightly said, Why are you criticizing?

00:58:09.000 Why are you criticizing their optics?

00:58:11.000 It's not your movement.

00:58:11.000 Why?

00:58:12.000 And I said, Wow, you know what?

00:58:14.000 Why do I care if his movement lives or dies?

00:58:14.000 You're kind of right.

00:58:17.000 It's not my movement.

00:58:19.000 His alt right brand is now pretty isolated compared to Patrick Casey, who has separated himself from Spencer with IE, and the more extreme, the hard right, has separated themselves.

00:58:31.000 And, you know, Cernovich, much, much longer ago, separated with the alt right.

00:58:37.000 And so now Spencer has his own niche movement, and you know what?

00:58:40.000 Let him do what he's going to do.

00:58:42.000 And I'm going to do what I'm going to do, which is America First Nationalism.

00:58:45.000 That's our movement now.

00:58:47.000 So I'm not really concerned about Spencer.

00:58:48.000 I don't see him as the leader of our movement, I see him as the leader of his movement.

00:58:51.000 And,.

00:58:52.000 And it's his movement.

00:58:53.000 He founded it.

00:58:54.000 He coined the term with Gottfried.

00:58:56.000 So that's not really an objective of mine.

00:58:59.000 Dominic Libertour, what do you think of Ives?

00:59:01.000 Rauner couldn't get anything done in a million years' time.

00:59:03.000 Yeah, Rauner's just not only can he not get anything done, but he's not even Republican.

00:59:08.000 He's not even a conservative.

00:59:10.000 He is for abortion.

00:59:11.000 He is for making Illinois a sanctuary state.

00:59:14.000 He could not get a single thing done.

00:59:16.000 He laid out, what, a 44 point plan?

00:59:18.000 He couldn't get anything done.

00:59:19.000 So I actually like Ives. 1.00

00:59:20.000 Even though she's a woman, And I'm usually against women in politics. 0.91

00:59:25.000 I have to say, Ive, she's tough. 1.00

00:59:26.000 She's smart.

00:59:27.000 She beat the hell out of Bruce Rauner in that debate. 0.98

00:59:30.000 And look, politics is the art of the possible.

00:59:32.000 It's what we have before us.

00:59:35.000 Who do we have running?

00:59:36.000 We have Rauner, who would surely lose the general election because Republicans will not turn out for him.

00:59:42.000 And if he lost, who would he lose to?

00:59:43.000 But even if he won, he would be terrible.

00:59:45.000 He's pro amnesty, he's pro abortion, and on and on.

00:59:48.000 But then who is he fighting against?

00:59:50.000 Who would he lose to? 1.00

00:59:51.000 He would lose to Pritzker, who is this Jewish billionaire, this sick. 1.00

00:59:56.000 Fat Democrat, fat cat Democrat. 1.00

00:59:59.000 You got these other clowns, Kennedy and Biss, who are just jumokes. 1.00

01:00:04.000 I'd rather have Ives than any one of them. 0.98

01:00:06.000 So I like her.

01:00:08.000 Ian Weber.

01:00:09.000 Do you think we will have a Trump like politician in 2024?

01:00:12.000 If not, what's the plan?

01:00:13.000 If so, will he be further to the right, more nationalist than Trump?

01:00:17.000 I have no idea.

01:00:18.000 It's too far out to predict.

01:00:19.000 We don't know who's going to run in 2020, let alone in 2024, right?

01:00:23.000 So that's really far out.

01:00:24.000 We don't know what's going to happen to Obama, what's going to happen to Clinton, what'll even happen to Trump.

01:00:29.000 Will he be around?

01:00:31.000 By then, will there be new actors?

01:00:33.000 I mean, that's a long time.

01:00:34.000 What is that, seven years we're talking about?

01:00:36.000 So I really can't make an intelligent prediction that far out.

01:00:41.000 But that said, there will never be another politician like Trump, never again.

01:00:46.000 And that's why we got to appreciate him while he laughs, because every day really is a gift in the sense that we will never see anything quite like this in our lifetimes.

01:00:54.000 He's simply the best.

01:00:55.000 He is simply the best, better than Reagan, better than Kennedy, better than Roosevelt, better than any modern president.

01:01:02.000 I mean, just look at his comments the other day where he said about North Korea.

01:01:05.000 He said, as far as dealing with a madman is concerned, that's his problem, not mine, referring to Kim Jong un. 0.97

01:01:12.000 You'll never get another president cooler than that, funnier than that, with more balls, more intelligent, more strategic. 0.95

01:01:20.000 He is the best.

01:01:21.000 I am still as far on the Trump train as I was the day of the election.

01:01:27.000 And people forget how consequential that was for most people.

01:01:30.000 That was really the height of most people's past couple of years, was that election.

01:01:35.000 People forget the significance that he has in their lives as a bringer of hope.

01:01:40.000 To the electoral system, but to America more broadly.

01:01:43.000 I mean, people, I think he's changed a lot of people's lives in that regard.

01:01:46.000 I'll never forget the euphoria of that election, the defeats and the wins, but then the ultimate win.

01:01:53.000 I mean, it was really something.

01:01:54.000 So I don't think you'll ever see anything like Trump again.

01:01:57.000 Woke Tree.

01:01:58.000 ADL and UC Berkeley video advertisement on policing hate speech with AI is a full out, unapologetic promo for Big Brother style, monitoring people and their views.

01:02:07.000 Yeah, it's no surprise.

01:02:08.000 This was inevitable, right?

01:02:10.000 And it's just so curious how.

01:02:12.000 Like, no normal person seems to have a problem with that, right?

01:02:16.000 What does that mean?

01:02:16.000 Hate speech.

01:02:17.000 Hate speech.

01:02:18.000 Hate speech.

01:02:19.000 Well, they hate us.

01:02:21.000 Is that hate speech? 0.98

01:02:22.000 When the left says they want to kill Spencer, they want to kill Trump, they want to kill me, is that hate speech? 0.83

01:02:27.000 When they say they hate the modern family, they hate Christianity, or they hate the traditional family, when they hate traditional family values, is that hate speech? 0.96

01:02:35.000 No.

01:02:36.000 Well, what is hate speech?

01:02:37.000 It's when you hate minority groups, it's when you hate which peoples.

01:02:40.000 Never white people. 0.98

01:02:41.000 You can hate white people, it's when you hate other people. 0.99

01:02:43.000 And what is hate?

01:02:44.000 If you don't want them in your country, if you think that them being in the country will not work, If you think they're different than us, that's hate speech.

01:02:51.000 So you have to be very careful about what does hate speech even mean?

01:02:53.000 It's a very pernicious, like really an Orwellian form of newspeak.

01:02:57.000 That this hate thing that's pervaded every aspect of the dialogue these days is just a total farce.

01:03:04.000 It's a total farcical term.

01:03:07.000 And it is absolutely Big Brother style censorship.

01:03:10.000 Jacob Smith, whale of a woman, an absolute unit. 0.89

01:03:12.000 Yeah, she was really something, huh? 0.94

01:03:14.000 And even the one next to her, the man in the dress next to her.

01:03:17.000 I'm watching it with my mom. 1.00

01:03:18.000 I'm watching the Oscars with my mom, and I go, Look at what the hell is that next to this obese woman? 1.00

01:03:24.000 I go, What is that standing next to her? 1.00

01:03:26.000 Because next to the woman who was singing was this tall, muscular, very chiseled looking woman, right? 1.00

01:03:33.000 You know, whatever the hell that is, some abomination. 1.00

01:03:36.000 And my mom goes, Which one? 0.85

01:03:37.000 Which one? 0.97

01:03:38.000 I go, That one right next to her.

01:03:39.000 My mom goes, The one in the black?

01:03:41.000 I'm like, Mom, they're all wearing black.

01:03:43.000 If you watch the video, every single one of them.

01:03:46.000 And she gives me this look, like, What?

01:03:49.000 Yeah, she wasn't even the worst looking one, which is something, right?

01:03:52.000 Begbie, you wear anger and righteousness well, like peppermint tie.

01:03:56.000 Wow, I don't know what that is, but I'm glad.

01:03:58.000 I think, well, because it's righteous indignation.

01:04:02.000 It's not an affect when I come out and I'm angry and we're pissed about this stuff.

01:04:06.000 These things offend me to my very core.

01:04:08.000 What we're talking about is the rape of our country, the rape and humiliation of our country.

01:04:17.000 They have.

01:04:19.000 Just a moment.

01:04:21.000 This is the Mossad right now.

01:04:26.000 That was the Mossad that put that in my throat.

01:04:29.000 That was a Hillary Clinton moment.

01:04:30.000 But what they have effectively done, what they have effectively done is they have exhumed the corpses of our parents. 0.99

01:04:38.000 They have raped our children. 1.00

01:04:39.000 They bought the house that we grew up in and they took a big shit in the living room. 1.00

01:04:43.000 I mean, this is the kind of personal assault on each and every one of them they have undertaken with these transformative social and immigration and other cultural policies. 0.99

01:04:54.000 They have exhumed the corpses of our ancestors and they've dressed them up and humiliated them.

01:04:59.000 They've taken our children from us and raped them, and literally in many cases raped them, but also in other ways raped them, taken their innocence, taken the future that they had in front of them, and they bought up our childhood home, the place where you grew up, the place where mom was making pancakes and where you played in the living room. 0.99

01:05:17.000 They bought it and they sold it to refugees from Africa and from India, and they're taking a dump on the floor and they're pissing on the walls, and they're just. 1.00

01:05:26.000 Not cutting the grass, and there's garbage everywhere, and this is what they're doing to our countries. 1.00

01:05:31.000 And so you have to get mad.

01:05:32.000 You have to get really mad because it's personal.

01:05:35.000 This time, it's personal.

01:05:37.000 Ian Weber Churchill is not a man to look up to.

01:05:40.000 Good thing 100,000 Europeans died so that Germany couldn't have Danzig and fight the Soviets.

01:05:45.000 Mosley and the British Union of Fascists could have prevented World War II. 0.95

01:05:48.000 It's true. 0.59

01:05:49.000 It's true.

01:05:49.000 Churchill is not a man to look up to.

01:05:51.000 Here was a sick, degenerate, a warmonger who hated Germans. 0.99

01:05:55.000 By the way, you talk about hate speech. 0.99

01:05:56.000 Here's some of the things that Eisenhower and Churchill had to say about the Germans.

01:06:00.000 Just straight up anti German hatred.

01:06:03.000 And then on top of that, think about how World War II started.

01:06:06.000 The Germans, whatever you think about Hitler, whatever you think about what went on there, what really started World War II?

01:06:12.000 So, Hitler takes the Sudetenland, which is an ethnically German part of Czechoslovakia.

01:06:19.000 He takes Austria and the Anschluss, and then he attempts to take Danzig, which was a German.

01:06:24.000 So, after World War I, they reduced the size of Germany, and they made it so that Danzig, this key port, was like all the way over there in Poland, and they gave a lot of German land to Poland.

01:06:35.000 And so, Hitler, all he said was, Hey, we want all the German people to be in Germany.

01:06:39.000 We want to take back historically German lands, which sue him, right?

01:06:43.000 Isn't that so unfortunate that the German Empire. 0.87

01:06:46.000 Wanted to have all the historically German places in it with the German people.

01:06:50.000 Wow, what a novel concept.

01:06:52.000 And also, you had the Rhineland and all that that went on with France.

01:06:55.000 But what started the war was he tried to retake Danzig from Poland.

01:06:59.000 And unbeknownst to him, Poland had made a defense alliance with the United Kingdom that if Germany attacked Poland, well, then Britain would go to war with Germany.

01:07:11.000 And that's what triggered World War II.

01:07:14.000 Was that worth it?

01:07:15.000 Was it worth it that millions and millions and millions of European young men, innocent young men, Were slaughtered, were killed, innocent civilians bombed, cities destroyed. 0.90

01:07:26.000 The stock of young men that would have made this the 20th century, I think, have soared to even greater heights. 0.77

01:07:33.000 Europe was at the height of its power, of its wealth. 0.75

01:07:36.000 Was it worth it to throw that all away because Germany wanted this little port in Poland? 0.54

01:07:41.000 Was it really worth it, folks?

01:07:43.000 Glad we did all that, right?

01:07:45.000 Glad we had these two huge world wars that ground to dust. 0.90

01:07:51.000 The stock of young men in all these European countries destroyed their wealth, spent their money, destroyed their cities. 0.97

01:07:58.000 Glad it was worth it. 0.98

01:08:00.000 Glad it was worth it over in the first case, some, as Bismarck said, some damn silly thing in the Balkans. 0.95

01:08:05.000 And in the second case, because Germany wanted to be German. 0.94

01:08:08.000 Yeah, really, really good judgment there, right? 0.95

01:08:12.000 So don't even get me started on what a travesty that was.

01:08:15.000 You know, people talk about genocides and bad things that happen.

01:08:18.000 I look at all the millions of young people who died in that war who should have never died, but because of.

01:08:23.000 War profiteers, because of people who were selling weapons to both sides of the war, who were the real profiteers and the real movers behind that war.

01:08:31.000 How about those people?

01:08:32.000 You know, we talk so much about oh, oh my gosh, oh boy, oh boy.

01:08:38.000 People might say in other ways, oh boy, so many people died in terrible things.

01:08:43.000 But you never hear about the innocent young people who were on their way to college or they just wanted to, you know, you see all these old World War II movies where, oh, they just wanted to get married to that high school sweetheart or they just wanted to.

01:08:55.000 Start their own business, or they just wanted to go into the family business.

01:08:57.000 They wanted to live their lives, but they were picked up, scooped out, and thrown abroad, thrown into Europe, or thrown across the English Channel as cannon fodder, essentially.

01:09:08.000 And why?

01:09:09.000 And why?

01:09:10.000 For what reason?

01:09:11.000 Oh, well, he was at it.

01:09:13.000 The bad man was at it.

01:09:14.000 He was trying.

01:09:15.000 They say he was after world domination.

01:09:18.000 There was no such plans for world domination.

01:09:20.000 If anything, the plans for world domination was the Soviet Union. 0.90

01:09:24.000 And who created it? 0.85

01:09:25.000 Who created the Soviet Union?

01:09:28.000 The Bolsheviks, and who were the Bolsheviks? 0.82

01:09:30.000 Oh, well, the Bolsheviks were. 0.84

01:09:31.000 Never mind who they were. 0.95

01:09:32.000 Never mind the real empire that wanted world domination.

01:09:36.000 Never mind that. 0.94

01:09:37.000 Good thing we got rid of Germany so that the Soviet Union could spread its tentacles across the world, right? 0.99

01:09:42.000 What a joke. 0.97

01:09:43.000 One day we'll have to do a video about World War II.

01:09:45.000 That'll be a controversial one.

01:09:48.000 That might be the death of the channel.

01:09:50.000 One key.

01:09:50.000 Hey there, Nick.

01:09:51.000 What do you think about Japan looking to revise their constitution and expand their military?

01:09:55.000 How would it play out in the Pacific?

01:09:57.000 Well, it would change the balance of power.

01:09:59.000 In the sense that for years, Japan was essentially just a satellite of the United States. 0.71

01:10:05.000 And if Japan were to have some kind of independent military capacity, some more autonomous military capacity, this would be a real check on Chinese power.

01:10:14.000 It would introduce freelancing to the Pacific, which is talked about by many IR scholars.

01:10:20.000 Freelancing meaning nowadays it's like the U.S. basically calls the shots.

01:10:24.000 And if South Korea is going to do something, if Japan does something, they do it with the U.S. and they talk to the U.S. first.

01:10:30.000 Well, if Japan basically gets their autonomous.

01:10:33.000 Military capacity, well, then they can go out and do their own adventures.

01:10:35.000 They can defend themselves. 0.87

01:10:38.000 And that would present a challenge to China. 0.58

01:10:40.000 And then, additionally, if that was the case with Japan, then who knows?

01:10:42.000 Maybe South Korea militarizes, maybe Indonesia militarizes, and Vietnam and all the other countries. 1.00

01:10:48.000 So I'd be for it.

01:10:50.000 And I think that would really shift the balance of power in the Pacific and in the world away from U.S. global hegemony to maybe more just U.S. influence and regional hegemony.

01:11:01.000 Patrick Gordon, Heineck, great debate with Sticks the other day.

01:11:04.000 Thank you, my guy.

01:11:06.000 Young Lung 420 says, You said you started out as a libertarian.

01:11:10.000 Any thoughts on a QE, low interest rates, high debt, et cetera, possibility of economic collapse?

01:11:15.000 Well, QE is quantitative easing, which has been going on for decades.

01:11:20.000 We're in QE3 right now.

01:11:22.000 Low interest rates, we've had those since the housing bust in 2006.

01:11:25.000 High debt, which we talk about on the show pretty frequently, 20 some trillion dollars in debt, 115 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities.

01:11:33.000 The economy doesn't work.

01:11:35.000 It can never work.

01:11:36.000 Under the present system, with the systemic Flaws of our economy, you won't have a, there's no short term fix that will avert the collision course that we're on with economic reality in the sense that you can pass a tax cut, you can cut things here and there, you can have a sequester and cut a little from defense and cut a little from this and a little from that, you can do some cost savings with Medicare, never gonna fix it, never gonna fix it.

01:12:01.000 There's no plan to balance the budget, there's no plan to pay off the debt, there is no plan to get interest rates to a healthy point.

01:12:08.000 I mean, the stock market is overbought.

01:12:11.000 The economy is vastly inflated.

01:12:15.000 So I think there is a high probability right now of a recession, of a collapse in the future.

01:12:21.000 And that's in the broad future.

01:12:22.000 That could be any time in the next 50 to 100 years, you'll see a complete or a total collapse, barring a dramatic restructuring of the economy.

01:12:30.000 But at its present course, how are we going to pay for entitlements?

01:12:33.000 You've got two people paying into the system for every one beneficiary.

01:12:37.000 That number goes down to less than two in very short order.

01:12:40.000 And very quickly, Medicare and Social Security will be insolvent.

01:12:43.000 What do you do then?

01:12:44.000 And title payments are growing.

01:12:46.000 Tax revenues are not growing fast enough to match them.

01:12:48.000 It's just the math just simply does not add up.

01:12:51.000 There'll have to be a collapse. 0.88

01:12:54.000 Joe the Serb.

01:12:55.000 The only gang that matters is Nick's Goomba Squad.

01:12:57.000 That's true.

01:12:58.000 You got to join the Goomba Squad with me and Joe, right?

01:13:02.000 Clappy Clapsalot. 1.00

01:13:04.000 Cut Lulzies throw.

01:13:05.000 Two bucks should cover the bail.

01:13:07.000 Yeah, right.

01:13:08.000 I'm sure the judge would take it easy on me.

01:13:10.000 No, but I would never, never, never disavow violence.

01:13:14.000 Do not be violent.

01:13:16.000 It's wrong to be violent.

01:13:17.000 Don't.

01:13:18.000 No political violence allowed.

01:13:20.000 I'm unironically against political violence.

01:13:23.000 So, no violence.

01:13:24.000 No violence.

01:13:25.000 No violence unless put in a self defense situation, which is ambiguously interpreted.

01:13:25.000 Say it with me.

01:13:30.000 No, I'm joking.

01:13:31.000 But unless we're in a self defense situation, there's no violence.

01:13:35.000 C. Hall, you cucking out on Spencer, Nick?

01:13:38.000 Why no alliance?

01:13:39.000 Well, I think if you saw the rally today, it's pretty clear.

01:13:41.000 Okay, I'm not really going to stand with some of the, with Commander Heimbach's finest.

01:13:46.000 Those are not really my kinds of people, right?

01:13:48.000 Not about cucking. 0.86

01:13:49.000 You know, it's funny because when I say that I'm not all right, people say you're cucking this and that.

01:13:54.000 And that really doesn't affect me anymore because the people that say that have no steak.

01:13:58.000 They have no skin in the game, and most of them are left side of the bell curve kinds of people.

01:14:01.000 But to answer the question, which is, you know, are you not alt right because of the issues?

01:14:06.000 Answer is no.

01:14:07.000 Well, kind of.

01:14:08.000 The alt right is a group that does not believe in America, does not believe in a constitutional republic.

01:14:14.000 I mean, this is not a secret.

01:14:16.000 This is not slander.

01:14:17.000 They are avowedly against the United States as it exists today. 1.00

01:14:21.000 They're post American. 0.80

01:14:22.000 They think they want a global alliance of white people, and they want a nation defined strictly based on race and a new paradigm based on race. 0.62

01:14:31.000 They're not very warm towards Christianity. 0.54

01:14:33.000 I don't know if they're, I think some people can say they're hostile, but they're definitely not warm towards it. 0.93

01:14:38.000 They're racialist.

01:14:38.000 They're post American.

01:14:41.000 I don't believe in a constitutional republic. 0.93

01:14:43.000 I'm sorry.

01:14:43.000 I don't believe in any of that.

01:14:44.000 So it's not about cucking.

01:14:45.000 It's just we don't share the same views.

01:14:47.000 And I'll defend Spencer's right to speak.

01:14:50.000 You know, he has a constitutional right to assemble, he has a constitutional right to speak.

01:14:54.000 But will I defend him recklessly putting young people in harm's way in a situation like that, where many of them are getting beat up and doxed and their careers ruined and their reputations ruined, and he called on them to self dox?

01:15:06.000 And by the way, you know, people are going to say, Nick, you're counter signaling and this and that.

01:15:09.000 But I mean, there's very quick counter signaling of IE and Patrick Casey this week.

01:15:13.000 So the reason that I am not so much on board with Spencer is not about cucking.

01:15:19.000 Not that I don't believe that ethnic nationalism is real, not that I don't believe in any of the criticisms, but we just don't share the same ideology.

01:15:25.000 You know, people ask me all the time, what you say you're not alt right, what makes you different?

01:15:29.000 There it is.

01:15:30.000 There it is.

01:15:31.000 Mick Bird says, favorite part of American History X, the part where they're all reformed and they don't believe in hate anymore.

01:15:38.000 I would have to say that part.

01:15:40.000 Ian Weber, I meant to say hundreds of thousands, or yeah, not 100,000.

01:15:44.000 Yeah, okay.

01:15:45.000 But the point stands no more people dying for no reason.

01:15:49.000 No more brother wars.

01:15:51.000 We got two more left.

01:15:53.000 Justin, any word on the DACA deadline?

01:15:55.000 Well, the DACA deadline was technically today, but it's jammed up in the courts now.

01:15:59.000 Trump's going to have to go through an appeals court on the.

01:16:02.000 So, to reiterate, the circuit judge in San Francisco and in New York said the president cannot constitutionally, cannot legally rescind.

01:16:11.000 President Obama's executive order establishing the DACA program.

01:16:15.000 Trump said, Well, that's BS.

01:16:17.000 He tried to get it appealed to the Supreme Court.

01:16:18.000 The Supreme Court last week said, You got to go through an appeals court because the process is circuit court, appeals court, Supreme Court.

01:16:24.000 So now he goes through the appeals court.

01:16:26.000 If that doesn't work, he's got to go to the Supreme Court.

01:16:29.000 I think inevitably DACA will be rescinded, but now we just got to wait on the judges.

01:16:34.000 Young Lung 420 Trump takes credit for the booming market and low unemployment.

01:16:38.000 He called both phony as a candidate.

01:16:40.000 Trump is cool, but this flip flop is extremely interesting.

01:16:43.000 It's not really useful to say that kind of a thing.

01:16:45.000 Only because, you know, why is the stock market booming now?

01:16:48.000 Stock market is booming at a much faster pace than it was under Obama.

01:16:52.000 Economy is growing at a much faster pace under Obama.

01:16:55.000 Under Obama, the economy never surpassed more than 3% GDP growth at any point yearly.

01:17:02.000 And Trump's first, second, and third quarter were all above 3%.

01:17:05.000 The stock market gains that we saw in the last year were in expectation that there would be a tax cut, that there would be some kind of liberalization.

01:17:14.000 You've seen President Trump cut more regulations in his first year than any president in their entire terms.

01:17:20.000 And so there is real movement on the economy.

01:17:23.000 Trump is, I think, contributing to economic growth.

01:17:25.000 I'll give you, I'll grant you, that the unemployment numbers have been fudged, that the economic, you know, the stock market is inflated.

01:17:34.000 But I do think, regardless of that fact, that you have seen real economic numbers that are doing better as a direct result of Trump.

01:17:42.000 So I understand where you're coming from, but I do think there is a real improvement happening.

01:17:46.000 And we'll see.

01:17:47.000 I think that was our last one, but we'll take a peek over here.

01:17:51.000 I think that was our last one.

01:17:52.000 So we're going to call it a night, a long show, folks.

01:17:55.000 I'm tired.

01:17:56.000 My mouth is dry.

01:17:57.000 I need to take a big swig.

01:17:59.000 I need to take a big quench when the show is concluded.

01:18:02.000 But that's all we got for you tonight.
