00:26:42.000We see that in our trade negotiations with China this weekend, they have totally collapsed.
00:26:48.000Allegedly, and this was made public, this was made available to a number of journalists in a diplomatic cable, that China allegedly came to the
00:26:58.000Negotiating table this week and they reneged on like dozens of promises that they had made in this entire process if you remember this all began in the G8 summit back in December
00:27:09.000When President Trump promised to postpone a series of sanctions increases because he was hopeful that him and Xi Jinping could make a deal on trade.
00:27:19.000And so that sanctions increase was postponed until January and then postponed indefinitely because progress was being made on a framework deal.
00:27:27.000It looks like that's totally out the window.
00:28:19.000But I'm a little bit later than normal because this whole day and I don't know if you heard me yesterday but my allergies have been terrible this whole week and it's all it's all in like the nasal cavity you know it's just it's just total blockage total congestion and I like literally can't get on the show because my nose is running and I can't breathe and
00:28:39.000So I'm like frantically blowing my nose.
00:28:41.000I'm like sniffling, blowing, sniffling.
00:28:43.000I'm like where is it in the nasal cavity?
00:28:56.000I guess I should have said good morning as well because I just woke up from a nap.
00:29:00.000You know, I was trying to fix my hair in the mirror.
00:29:02.000I said, you know what, we're gonna go with the hairstyle that says, good morning world, we're ready for a great start to the day.
00:29:09.000I was up all night, working in the content laboratory, lots of big things happening, I can't...
00:29:17.000I can't say anything just yet, but there's a lot of things coming.
00:29:21.000Interviews, merch, possible technological developments which I don't even understand, but which are in development.
00:29:29.000So I'm in the content laboratory, I'm up all night tediously working, you know, it's like the Iron Man montage of the first movie when he gets locked in the cave and he's banging on things and there's
00:29:41.000Saws going and blowtorch, you know, so I'm up all night up all day You know, I go down for a quick nap at like three o'clock got Fox News on in the background So between the allergies the lack of sleep, I'm just like I'm just swimming right?
00:29:55.000I'm just I'm all over the place, right?
00:30:30.000The Facebook bans, it is just incredible to me.
00:30:33.000I don't, I don't know if it's incredible or surprising anymore, but I guess it's just, it's a shame that we saw it's been a full week since Loomer, Milo, Paul Watson, Alex Jones, all these people,
00:31:35.000As we've said a million times, social media is like the number one priority right now.
00:31:39.000It seems to me like the easiest thing to fix if there was a will in the administration resolved to do something about it, but just nothing has been done.
00:31:47.000And I said last week, I said, watch and see.
00:32:02.000That tells you it's serious, you know.
00:32:05.000When Jack Dorsey says, you know what, I'm gonna start banning Sephardic Jews and Jewish lawyers, and then it's like, whoa, this guy's drunk with power.
00:32:26.000You know, we talked about this yesterday, of course, talked about the shooting and what that's really all about, the fundamentals.
00:32:31.000I didn't really give you the partisan kind of thing, but really the greater issue, which is the elites and the direction of things overall.
00:32:39.000But here's another thing where it's just incredible to me the extent to which this has been memory hole.
00:32:44.000You really, I think you really have to take notice of that.
00:32:47.000That's one of the things that kind of woke me up more than anything during the 2016 election.
00:32:53.000Was realizing the extent to which the media is totally in collusion with one another.
00:32:58.000All the media outlets are coordinating.
00:33:01.000They're all working together to suppress some stories, to elevate other stories.
00:33:06.000They're nakedly working towards an agenda.
00:33:08.000That was the biggest thing that woke me up.
00:33:10.000Because you know the red pill about this?
00:33:11.000What's really consequential about this?
00:33:20.000They're not going to cover this shooting because it doesn't conform to their narrative.
00:33:24.000They're not going to cover this Colorado school shooting because it was perpetrated by a transgender girl and a homosexual boy and they're both left-wing and they're both anti-christian and they didn't use an assault rifle and the people that ended up saving the day were I think it was an ROTC student or some guy who wanted to be in the military and
00:34:40.000You don't see anything about this once they figure out who the perpetrators are.
00:34:43.000And so you see, again, the extent to which it's coordinated and also combined with the agenda and the final and the most logical conclusion you have to come to.
00:34:53.000It's about the nature of conspiracy theories.
00:34:55.000That's the real red pill about this stuff.
00:34:57.000When you see the media coverage, it's not enough to say, oh, you know, left-wing bias, double standard, whatever.
00:35:03.000You have to get all the way, fall down the rabbit hole, and realize, wait a second, if they can do this, what can they not do this with?
00:35:13.000You know, nine times out of ten, I would venture to guess that normal people will not look into 9-11, gonna go out on a limb here,
00:36:04.000But I would venture to guess that most people do not entertain
00:36:07.000General ideas, theories, perspective, outside of the mainstream, simply because they believe that the mainstream is going to give them the truth.
00:36:19.000There's this underlying assumption, which isn't examined, that the media is probably not deceiving me.
00:36:24.000They probably don't want to deceive me, even though we see it all the time.
00:36:27.000But that's the kind of thinking that has to end.
00:36:29.000You have to realize, no, these people are willing
00:36:32.000And they are able to totally make things disappear that they don't like and to elevate things that don't exist, like the Russia investigation as an example, right?
00:36:42.000And once you see that, once you see that operation at work and you see how this is effective and how competent they are at it and how widespread and frequent it is, you have to ask yourself, gee, what about all these other things that we gave them the benefit of the doubt on?
00:36:58.000What about these other conspiracy theories?
00:37:02.000And you know, I joke on the show a lot about the moon not being real, or space not being real, or NASA's Hebrew for lies, you know, something like that.
00:37:11.000And it's honestly, a little bit of it is joking.
00:39:52.000My administration just secured a historic donation of HIV prevention drugs from Gilead to help expand access to PrEP for the uninsured and those at risk.
00:40:03.000Will help us achieve our goal of ending the HIV epidemic in America.
00:40:09.000And for those of you that know what PrEP is, you're like, what?
00:40:12.000What is going on in this administration?
00:40:30.000You know, I had a lot of people, because I tweeted about this, for those that don't know what PrEP is, PrEP is a drug, it's almost predominantly used by homosexuals.
00:40:38.000And what they do is they take this pill, and it effectively inoculates them from getting AIDS.
00:40:44.000When they have unprotected sex with lots of men in a night or a weekend or whatever,
00:40:50.000It's... it's... and everybody knows this about that.
00:40:53.000Everybody, you know, who's with it knows that that's what this drug is used for.
00:40:56.000And so I'll read off that tweet and people say, what's wrong with HIV prevention?
00:42:44.000Thank you, we've now got homosexual AIDS drugs.
00:42:48.000Now you can go around pausing each other and it's no problems.
00:42:52.000Making America Great Again, you know, thanks everybody.
00:42:54.000I don't know, it's just gotten to crazy proportions.
00:42:57.000Like I said, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge that, you know, this president will defend literally every group of people except for his own supporters.
00:43:07.000Israelis, American Jews, criminals, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals.
00:43:12.000It's like everybody is going to get a pass.
00:43:15.000Everybody's going to get a goodie bag.
00:43:17.000And we, the white supporters, you know, or the Hispanic, Afro-Latino supporters who are on Twitter, influencers, what do we get?
00:44:09.000If this is a covert ship that's trying to sneak coal past U.S.
00:44:12.000sanctions in a totally illicit way, the wise honest, it's a little on the nose, don't you think?
00:44:36.000This scheme was not only allowed North Korea to evade sanctions, but the wise honest was also used to import heavy machinery to North Korea, helping to expand North Korea's capabilities and continuing the cycle of sanctions evasion.
00:44:50.000And so if you're familiar with this situation in North Korea, this has kind of been their modus operandi.
00:45:28.000And I think Trump, more than any other administration, understood, well, the one way you can crank up sanctions even further and make this economic pressure basically intolerable to the regime is to go to China, you know, and that was the reversal that people didn't see coming.
00:45:43.000Previous administrations didn't really want to work with China, or maybe they didn't see the opportunity, but
00:46:49.000We will come to the table and we're not gonna... I mean they said that we'll give up our nuclear program, but I mean really they're buying time.
00:46:55.000They said, okay, obviously the best alternative is we do a photo op with this orange guy.
00:47:03.000We make some loose commitments and we buy ourselves some time.
00:47:06.000Maybe we work out some wiggle room on the sanctions, some relief or whatever.
00:47:12.000Well, that's really why we are where we are.
00:47:14.000And since things have deteriorated with China, and we're going to talk about that in a moment, now you have this issue where North Korea is resuming their illicit sale of coal and their other trade relationships with countries like China and Russia.
00:47:26.000I think that Russia and China see an opening now, that America is trying to take a hard line against both of those countries, to use North Korea as sort of a wedge, as a bargaining chip, and say, okay, well, America is going to bust our balls, for example, in Syria.
00:47:41.000You know, where Russia is trying to solidify Assad's government, America's not leaving in northeastern Syria, and they're gonna give us a hard time in Ukraine, and they're gonna give us a hard time in a number of other areas.
00:47:52.000Okay, well, we're gonna meet, and Vladimir Putin met with Kim Jong-un last week, and they say, okay, maybe we'll resume trade with you again.
00:48:24.000North Korea responds by saying on Friday that, Friday in North Korea time, that, quote, a long-range strike drill, which was ordered by the leader Kim Jong-un, was successful.
00:48:34.000And this is according to their state media.
00:48:37.000It says the North fired two short-range missiles that flew more than 260 miles and 167 miles respectively across the country from a northwestern area and that went over into the sea.
00:48:49.000So this is where it's kind of confusing.
00:48:51.000They say it was a long-range missile test, but it was a short it was a short-range
00:48:57.000For the missile actually being launched.
00:48:58.000They only launched the missile 200 and some and 167 miles.
00:49:03.000But they said it was a long-range test.
00:49:05.000You got to wonder what's actually going on there.
00:49:08.000Trump said quote, we're looking at it very seriously right now.
00:49:48.000Have you had a high-level negotiation like that?
00:49:51.000So they sat down, North Korea made a commitment to complete, total, irreversible denuclearization, and America said we're not going to give up sanctions in exchange for that.
00:50:00.000That's really the core negotiating posture, is that America wants complete, total, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization
00:50:17.000You give up your nuclear program completely, verifiably, irreversibly, and then you get sanctions relief, or it's nothing at all.
00:50:24.000And North Korea, it always seemed like, was kind of shaky on these details.
00:50:27.000That's really the genesis of this problem.
00:50:30.000They were always kind of, it was always a question of, were they really making this commitment?
00:50:34.000Or were they always in the back of their heads in this delegation thinking, okay, you say that it's all or nothing, but we're going to bring you to the table and we're going to promise big and we're going to have another summit and we're basically going to lead you on in the hopes that domestic concerns politically will force you to make a deal sooner.
00:50:55.000You know, for example, if Trump imagines that this is going to be a wedge issue in 2020,
00:51:00.000You know, if I can solve this issue, then this will be a big boon for me to run on in the next election.
00:51:06.000North Korea is wondering, okay, well, if I can basically impede a deal here, and I've let on everybody in the world that this is going to happen, and, you know, I've puffed up Trump to be this great negotiator, if I pull out the rug from under him and say, you know what, we're really not ready to do anything until you give up sanctions relief, well, he'll eventually give on that, and I'll get the sanctions relief without actually really giving up the program.
00:51:48.000Almost no progress has been made since that summit where they, again, they made a very framework, abstract agreement, general principles, denuclearization in exchange for some kind of commitment to investment in the future.
00:52:00.000And since then, no progress has been made on the finer points.
00:52:07.000A couple of times where there's been increased friction.
00:52:09.000There was another summit, if you remember in February, which is kind of weird how everybody forgot about that, but they had another summit in Hanoi in February, where actually Trump called the summit early.
00:52:19.000They were supposed to have a big signing ceremony, where it was rumored that the president and the North Korean leader would declare officially the end to the Korean War between America and North Korea, but that didn't happen.
00:52:33.000These people don't want to make a deal.
00:52:35.000So we're going to leave two days early and we're not going to sign anything.
00:52:38.000And that was really, that's like the advent of now, the current state of things.
00:52:41.000You know, you had probably when Trump got inaugurated and you had this era of brinksmanship where it's threatening one another until eventually North Korea says, okay, we're going to take the first step.
00:53:13.000They did a undisclosed weapons test a couple of weeks ago.
00:53:16.000Then they did a missile test, but it was short-range.
00:53:19.000Now they say they did a long-range test, and this flies in the face of the commitments they made last year, or almost a year and a half ago, where they said we're not doing missile testing or nuclear testing anymore.
00:54:02.000You know, I made the case years ago that actually war would be justified in North Korea.
00:54:07.000Because here you have a legitimate difference, you know, where these two interests are diametrically opposed, they're mutually exclusive, you know, they cannot coexist at the same time, and there's no middle ground.
00:54:18.000You know, you can't, like, have half a nuclear program, you know, so you either have one or you don't.
00:54:24.000It's in our legitimate interest to disarm them for there to not be nuclear proliferation.
00:54:28.000So I said, you know, I'm not saying I want war, or I would justify war right now, but I'm saying in the abstract it could be justified.
00:54:37.000Finally forced the hand of Kim Jong-un, allegedly, you know, that was the idea, that he came to the negotiating table, he did the impossible, he threaded that needle, where somehow he was able to convince North Korea to just give up the nuclear program.
00:54:50.000And that's what everybody was skeptical about was, is there really a scenario that we're willing to entertain where
00:54:56.000Kim Jong Un is really going to trust the president.
00:54:58.000He's going to build a personal relationship and personally trust in this man's commitment that if I give up my only nuclear deterrent, in other words, the only thing that will protect me from American intervention or invasion or total destruction of my regime, I'm going to take this guy's word for it that if I do that, I'm not going to be destroyed.
00:55:36.000We have to build trust with North Korea, and what matters is that we're talking, and they're reintegrating with South Korea, and they're doing a lot of milestone, landmark, mostly symbolic, gesture-type things with South Korea.
00:55:48.000But the idea was, so long as missiles are not flying,
00:56:47.000I would say it's totally uncertain in the future.
00:56:49.000I'm not optimistic that we're gonna get a deal done anytime soon or if that's even possible at this point.
00:56:56.000But we'll see if the president can sustain this detente for long enough that, hey, maybe something will change.
00:57:02.000Maybe there will be this miraculous building of trust and, you know, these hostile relations will be called off.
00:57:08.000But, you know, right now it's pretty much totally in flux and it's all destroyed.
00:57:12.000And that's a big shame because, you know, as I said, that was like the number one thing where everybody could have said, everybody from left, middle to the right could say, without a doubt,
00:58:29.000And this is in response to, of course, decades of Chinese abuse, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, predatory trade practices, predatory economic practices.
00:58:40.000You know, it's not just barriers to entry like the fact that, for example, as Trump says, you know, they bring cars into America and we put like a 2% tariff on them.
00:58:49.000We send cars to China and they put a 20% tariff on them.
00:58:53.000It's not even the obvious trade barriers that are problem.
00:58:56.000It's other more complex, nuanced, sophisticated barriers to entry where, for example, they'll say to an American company, if you want to come into China and do business with the Chinese market, you have to tell us all your trade secrets.
00:59:09.000And then the American company's obliged because in the short term, you know, they want access to this growing market.
01:00:24.000They've just sucked out all the wealth of our country and we've let them do that.
01:00:28.000And so that's I guess that's a long term what set the stage if you need a little refresher on that.
01:00:33.000And so we said we're going to implement big tariffs on China and we can do this because we're being abused.
01:00:38.000You know, it's you really can't lose in a trade war.
01:00:41.000And this was the logic that Trump said when he announced the tariffs is if we're losing $500 billion a year on tariffs and we're losing intellectual property.
01:00:51.000We're getting killed in all these sectors of the economy, which are the future, like robotics and AI and computers, quantum computing and things like that.
01:00:59.000You literally can't lose by putting tariffs on.
01:01:02.000You make money off the tariffs, you stop losing money.
01:01:06.000It's like, you know, you start selling products domestically.
01:01:57.000We will compromise on some of these big things.
01:02:00.000They said this at the G8 summit in December when they met with the president.
01:02:03.000I think this was in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
01:02:06.000And so Trump said, okay, if you're willing to come to the table and make a big comprehensive deal and concede on big things, I will postpone the raising of tariffs.
01:02:15.000I think it was by 90 days at that point.
01:02:20.000And then after which they postponed it indefinitely while they sorted out a very large and historic deal.
01:02:25.000And then we found out today it was reported by Reuters.
01:02:28.000It says quote the diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night with systematic edits to a nearly 155 page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations between the world's two largest economies.
01:02:43.000government sources and three private sector sources briefed on the talks, the document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core U.S.
01:02:52.000In each of the seven chapters of the draft trade deal, China had deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the U.S.
01:03:01.000intellectual property, trade secrets, forced tech transfers, competition policy, access to financial services, and currency manipulation.
01:03:10.000So basically it's the same thing essentially with North Korea and you know a lot of people have this idea that all these Asian countries are really honorable you know there's like and I I don't know I guess my my parents have said this because I tell my parents like I go to school in Boston University I'm not gonna say anything more than that you know but I went to a modern university
01:03:31.000Excuse me in Boston, you know and I I see what goes on with trade and I read about it and You know, I'll tell my parents and my mom, you know, cuz I guess my parents are like ethics They're like, oh, well, I thought China was this honorable culture.
01:03:44.000It's like these people are not honorable These people are more shy ste than the you-know-whos.
01:03:48.000Okay, these people are like, you know, they're pretty ruthless when it comes to these kinds of things so what happens is
01:03:55.000Just like with North Korea, they come to the table.
01:03:58.000It's almost exactly what happened with North Korea.
01:04:01.000These bastards, they come to the table in December and they say, we're going to concede on everything, OK?
01:04:17.000We're not gonna impose this big sanction or rather these big tariffs on your economy We're gonna give you relief and the Chinese, you know hand rubbing intensifies.
01:04:31.000We've come up with this big deal We're ready concede on everything and like right before we're about to sign it
01:04:37.000They send over the 155 page draft trade deal they've been working on for months and they delete everything!
01:04:43.000They delete every promise that they made, everything that they were going to concede on, everything that they wanted to.
01:04:48.000They totally reverse everything that they promised back in December.
01:04:52.000And so Trump, and this is, you know, this is an area where I do like Trump, and it's funny, now I can't even say anything good about Trump, and then people are like, you're shilling for Trump.
01:05:00.000You, you badmouth this guy for like months, you say one nice thing, you're like, well, the one thing about Trump that I can say, people are like, you look at his boots, you're shilling for Trump, what are you still on the Trump train?
01:06:02.000You know, that's the one thing you gotta like about Trump is I guess it's a matter of pride for him, perhaps, when it comes to these things maybe that don't concern Israel so much when it concerns, you know, just the Sino-European relationship.
01:06:15.000He's a little bit more balls-to-the-wall.
01:06:17.000And he says, you know what, China insults us?
01:06:22.00025% tariff on everything you sell to us!
01:06:24.000That's so epic, because you gotta understand, you know, if you understand the context of Trump getting into office in the last two years, this is such a reversal from American policy for years.
01:06:35.000American policy for years was just to, like, let Beijing walk all over us.
01:06:39.000You know, anytime they have a demand, anytime they have a request, like them getting in the World Trade Organization, and again, us not having reciprocal tariffs or currency manipulation or whatever, we don't classify them as a currency manipulator, and on and on.
01:06:54.000I mean, we let these people get away with everything.
01:06:57.000So that Trump gets into office, and he changes the tune on China.
01:07:00.000And not only does he not let them walk all over us, but he says, you mess with us?
01:07:51.000He said, you know, everybody in the media and the establishment, they laughed at him at first, but once he got into office, they all kind of got on board and they said, you know what?
01:08:01.000They kind of very quickly understood the dire nature and this critical point in time with our relationship with China, that they're rising militarily as a regional hegemon, that their economy is reaching this terminal velocity.
01:08:14.000We have an opportunity now to sort of strangle them in the crib before they become a big threat.
01:08:18.000And so now everybody in the establishment is kind of on board with this, that we have to be tough on China, again both militarily and economically.
01:08:27.000So that's to me what's really impressive about this.
01:08:30.000And a lot of people have been saying China made a big mistake.
01:08:34.000Basically what happened is they got greedy.
01:08:36.000They thought they were messing with George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
01:08:39.000They thought they could get away with something like this.
01:08:42.000Trump says they thought they could wait him out and maybe they'll just make a deal with somebody like Joe Biden in the next administration.
01:08:49.000Trump said, no, you're messing with the wrong guy.
01:08:52.000You know, you may be on the rise, but it's not your day yet.
01:08:55.000America still runs the show and we're gonna kick your economy in the nuts and we're gonna crush your stock market and, you know, thousands of factories are gonna close in your country.
01:09:04.000It's gonna cause big problems because you did this and you're gonna come to the table and negotiate.
01:10:37.000And you know, maybe that doesn't have the profound impact on the middle class that we need it to, but it's towards a different end.
01:10:44.000You strengthen the American economy in these structural ways, and this gives us leverage over other countries to exert interest, to exert power, in ways that benefit us
01:10:54.000Additionally, you know, in other ways.
01:10:58.000You know, people say, well, what's our interest in Venezuela?
01:11:01.000Or why should we be cutting the corporate tax rate?
01:11:03.000Well, if you look at it in a very black and white way, if you look at it in this totally emotional way of, it's not cutting taxes for the middle class right away, I'm upset about that.
01:11:12.000It should have been a more robust tax cut for the middle class.
01:11:14.000I would have liked a nicer tax cut, sure.
01:11:17.000But the purpose of it was a little bit different, it was indirect, and it's a little bit more sophisticated than that.
01:11:21.000You know, and Steve Bannon explained this, I think, pretty insightfully.
01:11:25.000I don't think there's anything wrong with this explanation.
01:11:27.000He said, you know, I would have liked to see a bigger middle class tax cut, he said, but the purpose of the 2018, I think it was the 2017, yeah it was December 17.
01:11:38.000The 2017 tax cut was to reorient the supply chains back to North America and become competitive against China again.
01:11:45.000And ultimately that gives us leverage in the long run.
01:11:47.000And so you see how it's sort of indirect.
01:11:49.000You see how that is connected in ways which are not, you know, imminently visible or imminently
01:12:32.000And that requires an elite that knows what they're doing.
01:12:34.000And I think, you know, Trump, Steve Bannon, when it comes to these things, when they're not, you know, caught up in their personnel, which wreck everything, I think they kind of know what's going on.
01:12:43.000They know better than the generals what's up.
01:12:45.000So maybe I'll catch some flack for that, but that's, I think, the right take on that.
01:15:26.000And he's obviously opposed to our interests, but...
01:15:30.000You know, I don't think there's anything wrong with admiring a politician that is competent and that executes the will of their country.
01:15:36.000You know, if it's adverse to our interests, we have to oppose that necessarily, but you can take a step back objectively and say, hey, this guy knows what he's doing.
01:15:43.000I wish we had somebody who knew what they were doing in charge of our country.
01:15:49.000Lauren Rose says, Nick, be honest, did you pull out of AMRIN because of the white nationalist implications and the potential deplatforming that would follow?
01:15:56.000That was a consideration, but like I said, it's a family matter.
01:16:00.000I don't know why, you know, you can't just leave it at that, but...
01:16:04.000That's what I've been saying all week and for two weeks I think actually.
01:16:07.000People just give me a hard time about it.
01:16:10.000Rugal says yes $5 and up but don't let crap posters get to you big guy.
01:16:15.000They support the content but are aimless zoomers who don't know how to express themselves.
01:18:48.000Yeah, it's a private military company.
01:18:50.000I don't really know anything about it.
01:18:52.000I've heard of it, but I don't really get into, you know, those kinds of military industrial complex specifics.
01:19:00.000I'm content to just understand, you know, the basics of it.
01:19:03.000Like, yeah, you know, war profiteering is very profitable.
01:19:07.000Then everybody makes money off of both sides and, you know, they're causing people to go to war so that they accrue money and dominate the world.
01:19:15.000But I don't really know anything about Blackwater in particular.
01:19:55.000Do you see the abuse that I take from my superchatters?
01:19:59.000The gaslighting, the psychological warfare.
01:20:02.000This is worse than what they did to Julian Assange.
01:20:04.000Yeah, okay, Julian Assange was like dizzy all the time and was getting headaches and they were like frying his brain with, you know, electrons and things.
01:20:14.000Okay, well try going on the Super Chats every night and you don't know if you can read a word because you're saying a Nazi slogan or something and Jared Holt's vigorously taking notes.
01:20:24.000You know, so I am truly a victim of a COINTELP operation by the CIA.
01:20:31.000It's just like in The Sopranos where, you know, you got all the feds working together and they're they're spying on the Soprano family and...
01:21:04.000Frankly, I would say Jewish because, you know, if you went for homosexual, I don't know if you mean like an active or just like a preferential, you know, do you mean like a practicing?
01:21:13.000Do you mean a practicing homosexual or do you mean just, um, you know, like tendencies?
01:21:21.000But either way, that would be a much tougher sell than being a Jew because if you're an ethnic Jew, you could just become Catholic and they say, and I don't know if this is true, but they say that if a Jew becomes a Christian, they cease to be a Jew anymore.
01:21:56.000You know what I found out is kind of bullshit lately?
01:21:59.000The other day I was reading into charity deductions for taxes.
01:22:04.000They got rid of the charitable deduction!
01:22:06.000I guess you read about the tax law now.
01:22:08.000And look, I'm not a tax professional, but I read that now, because they doubled the standard deduction from $6,000 to $12,000, they changed the way the other deductions work.
01:22:52.000Really Good Comics says you have obtained the...
01:22:55.000Staff of nullification this can be used at any time during the rest of the super chats to end the stream no strings attached thank you i will wield it responsibly yeah that's that's the nuclear option you know super chatters they think uh oh we're gonna get a rise on this guy we own nick we could say whatever we want we'll keep the show going forever but then they're always but watch how they recoil when i say i'm just ending the show you know we've lost
01:24:06.000Yeah, well, thanks on the JLP interview.
01:24:10.000I don't feel like I pressed him too hard, but you know, we obviously have a different perspective on that.
01:24:15.000But you know, I think Jesse Lee Peterson is right.
01:24:17.000He said basically what I've been saying for the longest time, which is, you know, look, you maybe need a little refresher, a little reminder.
01:24:28.000You get Trump, or you get literal devil worshippers, okay?
01:24:32.000And Trump might be, you know, co-opted by devil worshippers, but he's not a devil worshipper, you know, as far as we know.
01:24:39.000So it's either we elect Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, if it's a binary choice between a bad one and a good one, you know, between somebody who's righteous and somebody who isn't, you know, I think I think that kind of makes it more simple, you know, and we obviously say these things.
01:24:59.000That ultimately, when it comes down to the general election, I'll probably pull the lever for Trump.
01:25:04.000But at this point in time, I think it's useful to say we're not going to vote for him.
01:25:08.000I think there's a utility in saying we're undecided, we're agnostic, and not for any other reason other than to get the attention of people like Brad Parscale, Don Jr.
01:25:19.000Maybe then they'll exert a little bit more control.
01:25:21.000Maybe then there'll be a little uncertainty because
01:25:23.000You know, look, he's got an 80-90% approval rating within the GOP, and he thinks he's going to sail into 2020 with no problems, win re-election, the base is happy, and I don't know if that's necessarily the case.
01:25:35.000You know, and I don't know if we'd be necessarily satisfied if we did that without any kind of course correction.
01:25:41.000So, but I understand where he's coming from and I appreciate his perspective.
01:25:44.000I think, you know, Jesse Lee Peterson is a good guy and at the end of the day, I don't think we agree on that.
01:26:36.000And we're Jesse Lee Peterson and E. Michael Jones and again, people we don't agree with on everything with, but I think where we're coming from is a place of love.
01:26:43.000We're coming from it from the perspective of we want to do something because it is right.
01:26:49.000You know, we want to do what is righteous.
01:26:50.000And I think people on this other side, there's always something going on.
01:26:54.000There's some dysfunction, you know, there is some kind of
01:27:00.000You know, weird hate, or anger, or whatever, and you know what I'm talking about.
01:27:04.000You know, these characters, they might be funny, or they might be really smart, or well-read, or whatever.
01:27:10.000Maybe they're more on the money on the issues than JLP.
01:27:12.000It might have more overlap with them, but there's this negativity, there's this dark cloud that hangs over them, and I don't believe that's a coincidence.
01:27:21.000I believe in, you know, that kind of gut feeling.
01:27:24.000I think that's more real than ideological agreements.
01:27:28.000I would take a hundred JLP's over a hundred of people that maybe we agree more but you have that kind of weird dark vibe that's sort of off-putting that rubs people the wrong way it's sort of hollow and it makes you feel bad on the inside you know people always angry and they're trying to literally people trying to be like Hitler you know I see all these people they give speeches they're trying so hard to puff up their chest and be the angriest one and you know be the most
01:27:54.000The most aggrieved and it's like there's something about that Which is just I think and I think people realize this you can't quite put your finger on it, but it's it's kind of off-putting There's a there's a very bad vibe that comes from that and even people that can relate to these issues I think they can wrap their head around the idea that Maybe they're you know talking about issues that resonate, but there's just something off about you know this group or a certain group
01:28:20.000So I think that it's always important to remember that these things I think are the most important.
01:28:23.000Being righteous, being consistent with God, and I think JLP reminded me of that.
01:28:53.000That's the only movement that will survive.
01:28:55.000That's the only spirit that is inconquerable, by the way.
01:28:58.000You know, people like that, people that are righteous and they're consistent with what God is all about, these are the only people that cannot be beaten.
01:29:07.000These are the people that will survive.
01:29:09.000You know, these other people that are corrupt and sick and dysfunctional and whatever, and not that we're not all sinners, but you know, people that there's that kind of negativity, that darkness, these people are not going to survive.
01:29:21.000You know, I don't think they will be the ones to deliver the new country.
01:30:22.000Destiny, all these people, they're gonna set their reminder, set their timer, you know, May 5th, we're gonna come and we're gonna bombard his channel again.
01:30:30.000But if it's just like, oh, I say I'm banned indefinitely and people kind of forget about it for 30 days, 30 days is a long time.
01:30:36.000You know, in the internet community, people forget about it.
01:31:18.000Outside of the fact that it's such a better platform than Twitch, for like a million reasons, Twitch, every person that donates to you, you get half.
01:31:28.000So they donate $5 to you, you get $2.50, okay?
01:31:32.000And you make, the currency that they use is called bits.
01:31:36.000So a viewer will tip you in bits, they'll tip you five bits.
01:31:46.000The payouts are after 45 days, after you pass the $100 threshold.
01:31:51.000So it's like, eventually you accumulate $100, you know, you've raised $200 in pennies, and you make $100, and then it takes 45 days for them to send you the money.
01:33:12.000Of course I've been streaming, but I set up the problem I was having is that I had my normal, my official account, which I did several big streams on.
01:33:22.000And what happened is that my channel got flagged as X rated.
01:33:25.000So long story short, it got flagged as X rated.
01:34:21.000I've never been treated this way before.
01:34:23.000You know, I'm used to, it's like when a city dweller goes out to the South, and people are like, hi, how are you?
01:34:29.000You know, because we're used as content creators to just getting like, kicked in the stomach.
01:34:34.000Punched in the face by our by our overlords, you know We make all this money for Google and twitch and it's and they're like if you you suck you're a racist, you know We're used to doing twitch streams We make money and we love we advertise twitch and they like they kick us in the balls for fun and pee on us And they say oh you you suck your little baby.
01:34:54.000We run this town, you know, and then you go on D live They're like hi.
01:36:35.000Let's see, wow, we got like a 10,000 more superchats.
01:36:38.000America Only says, hopefully everyone who wants to win is following the seven baby steps so we can secure the something something for our children.
01:37:11.000I mean, my family has pretty good hair, so I'm not too worried.
01:37:17.000I think, yeah, I'm not really concerned about that at all.
01:37:21.000Everybody in my mom's side has good hair, my dad's side has good hair, and you know, people say, oh Nick, your hairline, it looks like your hair is thinning.
01:39:40.000I don't think phone solicitors are calling me from that country.
01:39:53.000I don't want to give away all the details, but we basically worked out a deal where we will form a partnership perhaps sometime in the future.
01:40:02.000It doesn't really work right now because I'm kind of set, you know, in terms of... I'm not really having a lot of trouble with streaming right now and it really wouldn't make sense for me to transition at this stage, but we did make the connection and I think we formed a good relationship, so...
01:41:34.000People are like expecting me to go to their house and like I look I can't even figure out my own obviously my own computer issues people are like why is my browser not loading that's kind of your deal you know because on my end it's fine it's embedded YouTube links it's not like I don't think I'll ask my web dev guy about it but I'm like 99% sure that's probably on your end.
01:41:55.000So try and load it up on mobile, you know, or another browser.
01:42:29.000Was that when Joseph... Is that in Genesis?
01:42:33.000Or is that... Yeah, that is in Genesis.
01:42:35.000When he goes to Egypt and he's captured and what does he do?
01:42:40.000He tells the Pharaoh about the harvest or something and he says, you know, you're gonna have a good harvest and he's proven right and the Pharaoh's like, you're the man.
01:43:36.000But I don't think that's a particularly bad scheme.
01:43:41.000And anyway, all these people about dodging questions, this is not a cop-out to say that anything that God does literally cannot be wrong, because God is the only thing that's moral.
01:43:50.000You know, people are like, I don't have any morality, but that's really, that seems wrong to me.
01:43:55.000So, idiot, dummy, question's a total non-starter.
01:44:00.000How does somebody divinely inspired, he seems like he's doing something wrong, according to what standard?
01:44:36.000You can pore over, oh, there's a thousand page book, and it's a million years old, and all this, and we're gonna find every little thing, and we're gonna debate for years, or we can just, you know, think about the broad strokes here.
01:49:16.000You know, pretty common sense stuff there.
01:49:19.000Of course, people are killed in the Bible all the time, for righteous reasons, and there's no problem.
01:49:25.000You know, and Aquinas, Augustine were in favor of the death penalty, and Aquinas talked about just war, and you had the Crusades, and on and on.
01:49:33.000So it's, you gotta apply a little practicality, a little common sense in there.
01:51:27.000I will not entertain this trying to pervert the Nicene Creed with some some knicker interjection with some kind of wordplay using the America First vocabulary.
01:52:15.000Do you think anybody, like, voluntarily just, like, really loves White Castle?
01:52:19.000Sometimes you get a craving, but it's open all the time.
01:52:22.000Chick-fil-a what do they close at like seven o'clock and they're open like three days a week and there's all these rules you got to like say you got a genuflect before you go in it's like I I just want I just want it to be
01:52:35.000Quick and easy, like it is with McDonald's.
01:52:39.000But I like Chick-fil-A, guess I gotta go back.
01:52:41.000And yeah, yeah, you know what governing ethic I use in Stellaris.
01:52:44.000I think I use xenophobia and spiritualism, which I'm finding the xenophobia not the best one to use because, you know, the game kind of has a very important diplomatic component and
01:52:59.000You know, realizing in the mid-game that this governing ethic precludes you from being friendly with anybody, it's like, yeah, maybe that was the wrong choice.
01:53:08.000Maybe we should have done something else there.
01:53:10.000Should have went for a less of a meme governing ethic.
01:53:35.000I'm trying to think which ones really red-pilled me because it's been years since I've really read something in depth about foreign policy.
01:53:59.000Those are a couple off the top of my head.
01:54:02.000To me, the best way to get perspective is to read the four post-Cold War treatises or doctrines, which is End of History by Fukuyama, Tragedy of Great Power Politics by Mearsheimer, Kaplan's Coming Anarchy.
01:54:25.000Fukuyama Kaplan Mearsheimer and No, I can't I can't remember I can't I'm drawing a blank here my apologies, but I would start with that It's not my bookshelf.
01:54:39.000Yes It is the clash of civilizations by Sam Huntington absolutely essential that one as well Trying to think is there anything else up there?
01:54:48.000So those four are a great start world order by Kissinger is terrific.
01:56:15.000You're just jealous I have a profound and strong jawline.
01:56:20.000Sebastian says the based Finns party became second in the last election and the other mainstream parties just excluded them from the government completely.
01:58:00.000Neither of them are early names I would go in for.
01:58:02.000I would go in for an Italian name, okay?
01:58:05.000MD says, I knew we had to fight and die for our greatest ally when I saw those five Israeli agents cheering on the firefighters during 9-11.
01:58:53.000Aunt Bessie says hey Nick How can I red pill my pet dog get him to watch the six-hour documentary?
01:58:59.000Levi's as I think instead of knickers you should use or you should call us Nick friend Tez cringe America says degenerates can now die off and no children more minorities are butt buddies and carpet munchers who elect carpet baggers No more kids for them
02:06:53.000You got to set it to cardioid and you also got to what is the other setting got to adjust your gain a little bit what is the other yes it's that and it's the gain look really the key is that you just have to talk directly into it you know the mic is set up where
02:07:11.000You can't talk in the top of it or behind it.
02:07:14.000You got to talk into the face of it and you got to select the right setting.
02:07:19.000Typically I think cardioid works the best.
02:07:21.000You got to adjust the gain and also you got to adjust your software, but really you just got to take a day and figure it out.
02:07:29.000You know, I was having a lot of issues when I put this on the boom, when I put this on the boom arm.
02:07:35.000So I got my Yeti still but I put it on a boom arm and I was having those issues So one day I said, you know, I'll just put it up there and I'll just manipulate it and test it See what the best result is.
02:07:45.000So you got to do that same with video.
02:07:47.000It's really just a matter of playing with it But I wish you luck
02:09:29.000You know, you gotta surround yourself with people that are positive, make you feel good, and not feel good like, you know, they gas you up, but feel good like there's a warmth, you know, that they're righteous and
02:09:40.000Self-sufficient and, you know, have self-respect and all that.
02:11:39.000I don't think I make or break the conference, but I was disappointed I couldn't go.
02:11:44.000I really, you know, it wasn't something that I was like, I look forward to that.
02:11:49.000I think it's a great conference and a lot of my friends are going and it's a great opportunity to speak and connect with people, but I just, you know, it was a tough decision but couldn't make it happen this year.
02:12:00.000It is what it is, you know, that's the way things are these days, but
02:12:05.000But yeah, you know, it's gonna be a good lineup regardless.
02:12:08.000Max Carson says, how do you feel about AIM?
02:12:33.000And if you're going to join any organization, you should join AIM.
02:12:35.000My long-term outlook on organizations like that is just not optimistic.
02:12:40.000You know, I think that in the long term, white identity politics is the answer.
02:12:44.000And maybe something like that could gain traction in like 30 years.
02:12:47.000But at the moment, when they're persecuting everybody online, the payment processors, like across the board, it just seems like
02:12:56.000I don't know, it just seems like that's not going to be very viable in the future.
02:13:00.000And you know, the same applies to my show, frankly.
02:13:04.000The same applies to things like American Renaissance.
02:13:06.000I think a lot of these modes of organization that are traditional and that we use for a long time are coming to the point where they're becoming impossible to do effectively and that will advance a cause, maybe they're even becoming a liability.
02:13:21.000So that's all, that's my only, that's my only
02:13:25.000I guess that's the drawback of these kinds of things, is they're forcing us underground.
02:13:31.000So, AIM will be a good thing though, I think, because even if they get forced totally underground, they'll still be a force for good.
02:13:36.000Networking and activism and all that, but I just look at the long term and I feel for them, because it's just, we're up against, like, impossible odds.
02:13:45.000So I guess that's really what I'm talking about.
02:13:48.000You know, all these things we're up against institutionally, it just makes it very hard to run an organization like that.
02:14:00.000Everybody else is banned from Twitch, honestly.
02:14:04.000Announces why did you ban me on Twitter at team best team?
02:14:08.000Literally all I said was yesterday stream went down.
02:14:10.000Yeah Yeah, look I've said this before when the stream goes down and I get like a hundred people Hey, Nick, did you know the stream went down or hey Nick boomer tech?
02:14:20.000I block I block I'm frustrated I'm angry and people are gonna bust my balls about it blocked
02:15:41.000I would probably say, you know, it's an unfortunate position to be in, if you're a believer and that happens, and it's a terrible lifestyle.
02:15:50.000I saw a thread on Poll the other day, and it was like, you know, kids get sexually abused, they become gay, and we like feel for them when they're abused, but then, like, when they're gay, then we shit on them.
02:15:59.000We understand why that happens, but...
02:16:03.000You know, so my position is a little bit more charitable.
02:16:05.000However, but the strong however is the society is pushed so far to the limit.
02:16:12.000The pendulum is so far on the other direction.
02:16:15.000It's like, do we really need to be, you know, sort of couching that and moderating and being charitable?
02:16:22.000I think if anything, it has to be totally the other way and say, you know, look, we have to stand out and speak out against all this crap that's going on.
