00:00:32.000This is really turning into a big story.
00:00:34.000And now you've got people on both sides of the aisle that have this idea that this is snowballing into the scandal of epic proportions that will take down the administration.
00:00:48.000And that's not going to happen because, you know, and I, as somebody who understands American civics, maybe people don't really know.
00:00:56.000You look at the process of what it would take to get this guy out of office, to get Trump removed from the White House.
00:01:05.000And short of a miracle, the Democrats have no chance in hell of making that happen.
00:01:11.000And so I want to revisit that tonight and spend a little bit more time.
00:01:14.000I know we went over it yesterday, the details of the Manafort charges and also the Cohen charges, but I just want to lay out exactly what this is going to look like in 2018, or rather in the 2018 elections and then in 2019, and what it would take to get President Trump in any kind of peril and any kind of jeopardy because.
00:01:36.000You know, again, I went over it very briefly yesterday, what that process would look like.
00:01:40.000And I think people, maybe it's ignorance, maybe it's misinformation, they have it in their heads that, like, if the Democrats or if the special counsel find enough dirt on Trump, that through some magical process, there'll be a victory, and then Hillary Clinton will be crown president, or like, you know, Bernie Sanders will have a chance.
00:02:13.000I've got a whiteboard filled out, so we'll be talking about that.
00:02:16.000I've also got a new easel for the whiteboard.
00:02:20.000So, instead of me holding it, I got a lot of surprisingly, I hold up the whiteboard in one of my shows, and like, you know, it's kind of awkward to hold because it's a big whiteboard.
00:02:31.000I'm kind of, you know, I've got it here, and I'm trying to talk at the same time.
00:02:35.000And I did this before, and my fingers look kind of weird.
00:02:38.000In the shot, because I'm like kind of holding on to it in a weird way.
00:02:42.000And this got memed by like some, I think it was some girl.
00:03:29.000I don't want to rip it because it's just going to leave the plastic, so whatever.
00:03:32.000So, we'll do the whiteboard in a moment.
00:03:36.000We're also going to very quickly do an update on the situation with Holly Tibbetts.
00:03:41.000We got some new information, and this kind of stuff is just crazy to me.
00:03:47.000Like, are people just allowed to say anything nowadays?
00:03:50.000Because we heard yesterday that Molly Tibbetts, this was the girl in Iowa, 20 year old student who she had been missing for weeks and weeks.
00:04:00.000And we had been hearing all month in the media about this story.
00:04:04.000I mean, it's in the local news, it's in the national news.
00:04:07.000Then we discover yesterday that not only is she dead, but she was killed by an illegal immigrant.
00:04:18.000You know, suddenly we stop hearing about it because it doesn't fit the narrative.
00:04:21.000But we hear yesterday that it's an illegal immigrant that killed this girl.
00:04:26.000Now, today we hear actually it wasn't an illegal immigrant.
00:04:29.000And it's funny to me because they lead with that.
00:04:31.000Always the headline is they lead with the most generous interpretation of the story, the most generous, the most benevolent, and charitable way you could look at this new information.
00:04:44.000And so the headline in many papers this afternoon, this evening, was, well, actually the.
00:04:50.000Holly Tibbetts' killer was a legal immigrant, was not an illegal.
00:04:55.000And then you read the story, and who's saying it?
00:04:57.000It's the lawyer of the killer and the employer of the killer.
00:05:01.000Like, so do you think that maybe both of these parties or one of these parties has a vested interest in this person not being an illegal, the guy defending him in court, and also the people who were employing him?
00:05:17.000Therefore, you know, maybe they have some culpability in the murder then, maybe not legally, but certainly.
00:05:22.000You could say morally they could be culpable in some way.
00:05:25.000It's Republicans who owned the business that he worked at.
00:05:27.000So politically, certainly it would be damaging.
00:05:30.000Do you think they might have a vested interest in putting that story across?
00:05:57.000And it's very interesting, very eclectic, innovative, fun, modern Protestant church.
00:06:05.000And I just want you to take a look at this because I think this will really show you in a visceral way the difference between incidental problems in the Catholic Church and systemic problems outside the church.
00:06:21.000In other words, what we saw last week.
00:06:24.000Which is a horrible, condemnable, damnable scandal.
00:06:29.000I mean, just the worst thing you could possibly imagine.
00:06:51.000The Catholic Church is comprised of flawed men.
00:06:54.000And incidentally, there was a problem.
00:06:57.000But that's a big difference from the Protestant religion or from other religions where there are systemic problems.
00:07:05.000Where in the Catholic Church, I mean, you'll have issues that arise from time to time because we live in an imperfect world, but then you have doctrines and churches and religions that are founded on imperfections, that are founded on very faulty ideas.
00:07:20.000And so we're going to look at this video of this Protestant church, and I will show you what I mean by that.
00:07:25.000So if we have time, we'll spend some time on that.
00:07:55.000And so, like I said just a moment ago, there were some conflicting stories that came out.
00:08:00.000ICE said yesterday this guy's illegal, and they also intervened so that he could not get out on bail very easily.
00:08:07.000They intervened in this case so that he'd be locked up and special accommodations were made.
00:08:12.000But then we find out today, this afternoon, That his employer and his lawyer are denying that he's an illegal immigrant.
00:08:20.000They both say that he's legal and he's been here for seven to 12 years, I think were the numbers they said, and that he's here on a work permit or something like that.
00:08:31.000And then we find out actually that that's all a lie, which I find fascinating because we saw a very similar story happen earlier this week.
00:08:38.000Remember that story I talked about on Monday on the show about that illegal immigrant who was arrested driving his pregnant wife to the hospital?
00:08:48.000And people, it was a big public outcry.
00:08:50.000And then we found out that he was a murderer.
00:09:06.000You know, we should arrest those people no matter where they are because they shouldn't be here.
00:09:11.000And also, if you're a killer, we don't really want these people roaming the streets, whether they're in the hospital or wherever they are, right?
00:09:20.000An update from the lawyer defending this guy, defending the guy who was arrested on Monday or over the weekend, the guy that drove his pregnant wife to the hospital, that actually he wasn't wanted for murder.
00:09:34.000And the same thing happened in this case.
00:09:35.000The lawyer of this murderer says, oh, actually he wasn't an illegal immigrant.
00:10:03.000All the names that he used or the identification that he used to get this job or to get a driver's license or whatever has all been falsified, is all fraudulent.
00:10:13.000And there's no record of this real individual, whose name is Rivera, ever entering the country legally.
00:10:19.000And I just wonder what is happening to our country?
00:10:23.000I mean, doesn't that kind of tell you there's something wrong when we don't even know?
00:11:04.000And then, regardless of that fact, I think on top of all of that, what's pretty rich is whether they came in illegally or whether they had a work permit at some point, in both cases, these are not winners, right?
00:11:15.000You know, people are saying, like, this is some victory.
00:11:19.000Oh, you know that murderer that killed the 20 year old American?
00:11:32.000It tells you that the problem is not just illegal immigrants, which is pretty obvious to many of us, the smart people that watch this show.
00:11:42.000It doesn't matter if they signed on the dotted line, right?
00:11:46.000It doesn't matter if they paid the fee or they waited in line.
00:11:50.000You know, people love to say, well, you know, it's about the legal immigrants.
00:11:54.000When illegals come over here, whatever, they're killing people, they're taking our jobs, and it's an affront to law and order and all the rest.
00:12:02.000The real problem is it's an insult to the legal immigrants that waited in line and they paid the money and all.
00:12:41.000But then on top of that, the problem that we see is it's the people, it's not the culture, it's not their legal status, it's not their paperwork.
00:13:39.000And you could look at the data, whether it's welfare usage, whether it's average IQ, whether it's crime, whether it's the rate of how many illegal immigrants are detained in federal prisons.
00:13:50.000And it's not the illegal immigrants from like Ireland, right?
00:13:52.000It's not the illegal immigrants from like China.
00:13:55.000Where do you think they're coming from?
00:13:57.000And so we revisit this, but we just look at some of the arguments that have been made in 24 hours, which are just absolutely asinine.
00:15:03.000You think anybody's lives have really been improved?
00:15:07.000Why don't we, you know, anybody disagrees with me, they can come out to Chicago, they could fly into O'Hare, and I'll take them on a little trip to Pilsen and Little Village in Chicago after dusk.
00:16:41.000The reason we have a government is to protect the country from invaders, from intruders.
00:16:48.000That's why we have fences on the border.
00:16:51.000That's why we pay people to drive across the border in jeeps with guns to keep people out so that they don't commit crimes, so that we could keep track of people, so there's some kind of accountability or vetting.
00:17:07.000I mean, that would be like saying, well, somebody could break into your house, right?
00:17:11.000A burglar could smash your windows, so you might as well not have windows.
00:17:15.000A burglar or a murderer could pick the lock on your front door.
00:17:20.000So you might as well just not lock your front door.
00:17:22.000Might as well not have a front door at all.
00:18:17.000Believe me, I'm not naive about these things.
00:18:21.000Sometimes we have to make arguments that are less than true or that are not totally logical but sound good to serve a greater good, right?
00:18:31.000I mean, we understand illegal immigration is a problem.
00:18:34.000We understand there are a lot of problems in the country, and we have to make convincing rhetoric to get people to vote the way we want and to get the change we want to see enacted in government, whatever.
00:18:44.000But it's one thing if that's for a good cause, but I mean, what are these people making the arguments for?
00:20:35.000Young college girl in Iowa going on a jog, and she gets kidnapped, thrown in a trunk, murdered, dismembered in her own country, and by an illegal immigrant, by someone who shouldn't have even been here.
00:22:14.000They know that if this story gains traction and is allowed to be utilized by the Republicans or by Trump or whoever, they know that what will that jeopardize?
00:22:23.000The ability of foreigners to come over here and take our stuff.
00:22:26.000That's what it's about at the end of the day.
00:22:28.000The Democrats know that, well, we can't let the Republicans use this awful tragedy, right, to motivate positive change.
00:22:36.000You know, when there's a school shooting, If a law isn't passed within 12 hours, there's a million man march in every city in the country.
00:22:45.000This is like the 100th time a young girl is killed by an illegal, and they can't sweep it under the rug fast enough.
00:22:51.000Because they're trying to protect foreigners.
00:22:54.000They're trying to protect the rights of people in Africa and Mexico so that they can still come here without any expectation, any obligation.
00:23:03.000They don't even have to fill out the paperwork.
00:23:05.000They just get to walk across the border and ask for their free money.
00:23:08.000And these are the people that are in charge.
00:23:46.000That's why we need 3D printed firearms.
00:23:48.000By the way, this is the best kept secret on the right wing.
00:23:51.000When you see this kind of stuff about drones firing guns, like drones that we can have, That can shoot guns and 3D printing firearms.
00:24:00.000Whenever you see any civil liberties issue arise that pertains to any chance that, you know, like a possibility we could use that in a hypothetical struggle against, like, you know, different factions in a civil conflict, we should be on the side of those people.
00:24:20.000You know, I don't care if you think, like, is this a good idea for our society that we should have 3D printed guns?
00:24:25.000Like, shh, shh, like, don't make that argument.
00:24:28.000You know, if things really hit the fan, we might need that.
00:24:33.000If things hit the fan, it would be cool if we could have handheld drones that can shoot firearms because the government has them.
00:24:39.000So that's why I kind of changed my thinking.
00:24:43.000I remember somebody said that to me because I was like, well, I don't think that's a very good idea.
00:24:47.000And then somebody's like, yeah, but, you know, hypothetically, if things kind of collapsed, like if there wasn't any food anymore at Walmart and Jewel Osco and Target, And there were raiders roaming the streets and drone strikes on neighbors.
00:26:17.000It's going to look a little bit odd for a moment, but the problem is the lighting is really reflecting, so I'll have to turn down the brightness just a tad.
00:26:52.000He pled guilty to eight charges, eight counts against him yesterday.
00:26:58.000He entered into a plea bargain, and in exchange for this deal where he got a lessened.
00:27:04.000Sentence, three to five years probably he'll have to serve in prison.
00:27:07.000He pled guilty to eight charges, and he is also talking about possibly cooperating with the Mueller probe, the special counsel into Russian collusion.
00:27:35.000Very few of them pertaining to the actual, again, like I said yesterday, the actual scope of the investigation or purpose of the investigation, which is to uncover collusion.
00:27:44.000But, you know, let's say hypothetically they get all their evidence together.
00:27:48.000This is the process that they need to go through.
00:27:51.000To remove the president, this is the process that they would have to, these are all the hoops they'd have to jump through if they ever wanted to put the president in any peril in terms of removing him from office.
00:28:05.000And it's kind of confusing to people because they see the special counsel and they think like Mueller is going to bust into the Oval Office with handcuffs and lock this guy up.
00:28:14.000There are only two ways, there are only two main ways that you can remove a sitting president.
00:28:20.000That is number one is the 25th Amendment.
00:28:22.000Which says that if the majority of cabinet members and the vice president deem the president to be unfit to serve, meaning like mentally or physically, they can remove him from office, which is highly unlikely.
00:28:36.000And you understand the president appoints his cabinet and his vice president.
00:28:39.000So only in dire circumstances, like if the president got shot and then like he couldn't talk or something, he was like retarded, and then he was like, I'm not leaving office, you know, then that would probably happen.
00:28:53.000But otherwise, I mean, you know, Aside from that, aside from that kind of circumstance, like he has a stroke or something, and then, you know, he refuses indignantly to leave office.
00:29:05.000I will serve even if my face is drooping, right?
00:29:09.000And then the vice president would be like, okay, maybe it's time to pack it up.
00:29:13.000But if the president appoints the cabinet of the vice president, they would never force him to resign unless it was super Machiavellian and crazy.
00:29:24.000Very rare circumstances where that would happen for political reasons.
00:29:27.000So, Really, the only reason we're looking at, really, the only way we're looking at outside of the 25th Amendment, because that's not going to happen, is impeachment.
00:30:00.000And at the end of, whenever it ends, at the end of this arduous process of interviewing people and gathering data and intelligence and all the rest, he will compile it into a report and he will give it to the House of Representatives.
00:30:16.000Now, then it's up to the House of Representatives to decide if there was any wrongdoing.
00:30:20.000If they do decide, it'll go to the either judiciary or the rules committee in the House and they will draft articles of impeachment.
00:30:28.000And all articles of impeachment are basically.
00:33:12.000The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial.
00:33:15.000That's only in the case of vice president or president.
00:33:18.000After the trial, Then the Senate votes, and it's very interesting how this works.
00:33:24.000All 100 members will then vote, and it requires a two thirds majority to convict the president on any of the counts.
00:33:31.000Now, if he's convicted, he's removed from office, and then depending on what he's convicted of, he could be barred from holding public office in the future, or he could also be entered into criminal proceedings, like he could be tried just like a civilian, like a regular person, and go to jail.
00:33:47.000But that is what you're looking at in terms of what Democrats would have to do.
00:33:52.000To put Trump in any kind of peril of being removed from office.
00:33:55.000And once you look at that, that's all constitutional stuff, that's all Civics 101.
00:34:00.000You realize there's like no chance in hell that that's going to happen.
00:34:04.000And it's just ridiculous when you see people like Kathy Griffin and all these other shitlibs that they see what happens with Manafort, these sealed indictments, and then they bring down charges, and it's like for what?
00:34:17.000Like a campaign finance violation, it's for tax fraud, you know, and for people that are just so peripheral to the president.
00:34:26.000You're going to have to go through all of that.
00:34:29.000And anyway, to determine if things have grounds, that things are grounds for impeachment, the qualifying words in the Constitution are high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:34:40.000It's either treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors, which means like, and these are things which are very serious crimes, lying under oath, that kind of thing, not like a campaign finance violation, like really?
00:34:53.000So when you're looking at what the Democrats are up against, and I just did a little sidebar here to give you an idea, to get a simple majority in the House, It would be impossible because the Republicans control the House with a 240 seat majority.
00:35:06.000So, to even impeach, to even make an allegation of wrongdoing, to indict, so to speak, you would need a simple majority in the House to even begin that process.
00:35:40.000And this is Republicans, Democrats, independents.
00:35:42.000It would be a bad idea for Democrats to do it.
00:35:45.000Even if they got after the 2018 midterms, some like a five seat majority in the House, it's dubious that they would get all 220 or 225, you know, of that hypothetical majority to vote on this.
00:36:01.000And so you would be stalled at step number two.
00:36:04.000Then you get to step number three and it's dead on arrival.
00:36:08.000You need two thirds of the Senate, really.
00:36:10.000Republicans control the Senate with the, you know, it's technically a 50 seat majority right now.
00:36:16.000And so, you know, good luck getting a single Republican to vote for that.
00:36:20.000Trump has 92% approval within his party.
00:36:23.000And then with the midterms, you know, in this case, they have no chance.
00:36:26.000They have some people say, like Nate Silver, for example, predicts that Democrats have a 75% probability of winning a majority in the House.
00:36:36.000There's no chance they're winning a majority in the Senate or anywhere.
00:36:40.000A super majority is just out of the question.
00:37:23.000Like, do people look into this stuff for all these people?
00:37:27.000And it's like, by all measure, serious people that are promoting this idea in a serious way that Trump could possibly be removed from office.
00:37:42.000It is impossible for it to happen in the next Congress, short of like everything changing.
00:37:48.000Like, if there was some huge event, like if Trump murdered somebody, Or if there was a video of Trump cutting someone's head off, maybe in that case you'd say it's a possibility.
00:38:01.000But unless there's a tidal wave of people defecting from the Trump train in the base, in the party, it's a 0% chance that this could happen.
00:38:12.000So I just wanted to reassure people because a lot of people, I see on poll people are freaking out.
00:38:18.000I see on Twitter people are freaking out.
00:38:20.000People are DMing me, Nick, how bad is it?
00:38:35.000It's somewhat arguable if even that would be a bad thing.
00:38:38.000If they impeach Trump, I think a strong case could be made that that would actually consolidate support behind the president on the part of Republicans and many independents.
00:38:49.000I think, if anything, that would drive a lot of people in the middle and maybe people who are moderate Republicans into Trump's arms and say, you know what, like maybe we don't even like Trump.
00:39:07.000So I think there's a strong case to be made that not only is this impossible, but even in the worst case scenario that is likely or probable, which is Democrats win a majority in the House, they file articles of impeachment, the Mueller probe releases some report to a lot of hype.
00:39:26.000Worst case scenario is this actually rallies support around the president, and he might even have a stronger chance of winning in 2020.
00:39:35.000And certainly of winning in Congress in 2020.
00:39:38.000Because you just know that people in the middle and people on the right, imagine the fervor in 2020.
00:39:45.000If there's not going to be a blue wave, if there's an enthusiasm gap or a red wave, rather, if there's this big enthusiasm gap in 2018, Republicans get complacent, things are going okay.
00:39:57.000If Democrats file articles of impeachment after the 2018 elections, what do you think 2020 is going to look like?
00:40:04.000You can bet your bottom dollar, you can bet your bottom.
00:40:08.000That independents, centrists, moderate Republicans, they're going to be coming out in droves in 2020 to vote for Trump, to vote for Republicans in red states where Democrats are doing this kind of ridiculous stuff.
00:40:20.000So, you know, it's actually kind of white pilling.
00:40:23.000That the Democrats have doubled down on the strategy is a big mistake.
00:40:29.000You know, people think, well, if they just persist, if they just keep going, you know, and they're really going to give us a hard time, that that'll eventually work out for them and we're going to be screwed.
00:40:41.000What should really terrify Republicans is if the Democrats stopped this tomorrow and they came up with an actual platform.
00:40:48.000That would be the real danger to President Trump.
00:40:51.000The real danger would be if they started to put forward a viable candidate for 2020 and started articulating an actual alternative, positive vision for the country.
00:41:01.000You know, if like Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders or I don't know, like anybody else came forward from the Democrats and said, you know, like we're going to be a party for the working people and we're going to stop being crazy.
00:41:14.000We're going to stop being the party of eliminating borders and law and order and this crazy Russia stuff.
00:41:21.000If some Democrat came forward tomorrow who was a white guy and appealed to people in Pennsylvania, that would be dangerous.
00:41:28.000If they said, let's just stop all this craziness and let's just have a real platform, that would be a real threat.
00:42:17.000So, last thing I want to bring up today, and we're running out of time here, but I do want to talk about this very briefly because it is important.
00:42:24.000I don't know, should I save it for tomorrow?
00:42:28.000Because if I do it tonight, then I don't have anything for tomorrow.
00:42:32.000And then if nothing happens, I'm just kind of screwed, right?
00:42:35.000So maybe I'll just save it for tomorrow.
00:42:59.000Hey, facts don't care about your feelings, right?
00:43:01.000So, we're going to take a look at our Streamlabs.
00:43:04.000We've got Teflon Dom, who says, I understand the practical and aesthetic desires to have a younger wife, but don't you also want a woman who remembers the same ravioli commercials?
00:43:42.000To see sin as, like, a great thing and Catholic rules and morals are restrictive and oppressive, like, that's the wrong way to be a Catholic.
00:43:53.000The goal is to see those things, like, you should aspire to not want the bad things, right?
00:43:59.000And I'm kind of a bad Catholic in the way that I'm trying to max out.
00:44:04.000I'm trying to max out on the rules, like, get.
00:44:07.000As close to breaking the rules as I can, you know, and that's not the way you should do it.
00:44:11.000You should aspire to be, you know, perfectible and divine and in line with God and all that.
00:44:17.000And here I'm over here saying, like, well, if I'm going to be celibate, I should kind of get like a little treat, you know, if I'm going to be celibate and not lust for like 10 years, well, when I'm 30 and I have a big family, I should have a hot little package, you know, I should have a hot little piece when I'm 30 because I've been such a good boy.
00:44:35.000But that's not how you're supposed to think about it.
00:44:37.000That's not how you're supposed to think about it, but you know.
00:44:41.000I'm young and I'm born of the modern world.
00:44:43.000These are all excuses, by the way, but that's just how it is.
00:44:47.000Well, it's tough because, you know, we're brought up in this world which is so corrupt.
00:44:53.000And in many ways, it's psychologically ingrained.
00:44:57.000I mean, it's like brain chemistry, these neural pathways which have been thoroughly mapped and gone over.
00:45:04.000So it's not such an easy thing to say, oh, well, I'm just, you know, going to stop wanting that.
00:45:09.000You know, I talk to my friend all day long about this stuff.
00:45:12.000I say, you know, Here's my beef with the whole Catholic thing.
00:46:34.000If I meet somebody, and God has a plan for all of us, so who knows?
00:46:37.000Maybe I'll be 22 and I'll meet some lucky lady who's a big America First super fan and she wants to bear 10 children and she's got parents who are tall with good hair and high IQs and good DNA.
00:46:53.000And then I'll have to settle down, you know.
00:48:23.000He's never stood before a grand jury or anything like that.
00:48:27.000If he has said contradictory things before, he technically hasn't perjured himself because he never took an oath and said, I'm telling the truth here.
00:48:36.000I don't believe it's illegal for the president to lie.
00:48:41.000If that were the case at all, he'd be in jail.
00:48:43.000And anyway, whether he perjures himself or not, you still have to go through the process.
00:48:47.000And do you think Republicans are going to be like, oh, well, fair enough?
00:48:50.000He told the white lie, or like the FBI gets people on ridiculous things like that.
00:48:57.000They still have to go through the process.
00:48:59.000And in terms of the Discord server, if you come by on Friday, you can really, any Friday, I post a link.
00:52:07.000You know that because we really need to distinguish this racist, dissident right from the real right wing, which is about protecting minorities and hip hop music and homosexuality.
00:52:26.000And speaking of gay lords, Barack Obama is a gay male, and Michelle Obama is his transsexual husband.
00:52:33.000Thomas Farrell says, Can't believe you're only two years older than me, and just how much more knowledgeable you are than I could ever hope to be.
00:54:24.000But a high IQ person would say, well, a thousand books is how many pages over how many years you read 20 pages a day for five years you've read a thousand books, you know, whatever it is.
00:54:34.000And so I found that people who think in terms of time, who can maximize time, these are the people that are winners.
00:54:40.000People who think in terms of the present, like, well, do I want to embark on this really ambitious project and eat it all in one bite, or am I going to watch five hours of golf or five hours of football or whatever?
00:55:26.000Little bit of a neg there on Joe the Boomer.
00:55:30.000Well, I just got done saying how great conflict is, so I guess I can't really counter signal that.
00:55:35.000But thank you so much for the kind words and for the generous super chat.
00:55:40.000I know the support really does mean a lot because I'm fighting a lot of people, and it's It tends to be isolating.
00:55:47.000You know, I don't, I'm about to play the world's smallest violin for myself.
00:55:51.000You know, it's tough because you say what's going on, you try and do the right thing, and people who know you your whole life, people who, you know, you've ate with, you do all kinds of great things for, and you're friends for a long time, you've known for years, they really give you the cold shoulder when they find out that you don't share their political or historical views that they haven't even thought about for five seconds.
00:56:17.000You know, I can't tell you how many friends I've lost.
00:56:19.000Doing what I do because they disagree with me about politics.
00:56:31.000You know, people who probably haven't read a single book in their entire life that wasn't from school, they're not, well, you know, I've known you for five years, but, you know, this thing I know nothing about and you know like everything about, we disagree.
00:56:44.000So I'm unfriending you on Facebook and I will never talk to you again.
00:57:40.000Parents didn't give you enough attention as a child?
00:57:43.000Well, you know, it's just kind of comical because, you know, again, this stuff might have been this worked like a year ago when you had people who were weaker and people would be like, please don't raid my stream.
00:57:56.000I'm not a cuck or whatever, but I'm smart.
01:00:15.000People that are three times married and divorced, and you've got every sin in the book committed, but you know, thank God they're not whatever.
01:00:24.000And so, I think it's important we understand that all sin is sin and bad, and we want to tolerate people who are struggling with sin.
01:00:32.000But by the same token, homosexuality is a particularly pernicious sin because, and for some reason, it's like this is what the modernists are championing the gay pride flag is like the domination flag of the globo homo complex.
01:01:33.000I think I've seen one of his videos before.
01:01:36.000And I got to be honest, these people who are like metal, it just strikes me as juvenile.
01:01:41.000You know, I think he's like somebody recommended it to me one time.
01:01:44.000And I watched his video, and he was like, like, really against social justice warriors.
01:01:48.000And he was in like really edgy, like, metal.
01:01:53.000Set and look, and it just strikes me as so adolescent, so juvenile.
01:02:00.000You know, I mean, if these people are really metal, it'd be one thing if they were like killing people.
01:02:04.000Now, I don't endorse killing people, but if they were like, well, like we love death, and they were actually like, it wasn't just like music and making artisan burgers, I would be like, well, okay, well, okay, there's to be taken seriously, you know?
01:02:19.000But they're not, it's just like this weird subculture that's about being different.
01:05:59.000And I said this yesterday, but for people that get black pilled or depressed, I really, because people want to give these people sympathy and say, oh, you poor thing, everything will be okay.
01:06:11.000And my reaction is always kind of like disdain.
01:06:14.000When people tell me, I'm really down in the dumps, unless it's like a loved one, it's really just like disdain.
01:07:10.000To for me, people get worried about things they can't control.
01:07:13.000And I, you know, we all do that to an extent.
01:07:15.000But I mean, if you sit down and think about it, you think about what's happening in the country, you know, how much of that is under your control?
01:07:22.000How much of that can you really affect?
01:07:25.000And once you understand that it's really fatalistic, we are ultimately at the mercy of fate.
01:07:46.000It's just understanding that life is not all there is.
01:07:50.000You know, there is an afterlife, there is a spiritual life.
01:07:53.000And I think if you establish that, that kind of like stoicism that I think is intrinsic to people who are religious, I think it just kind of rolls off.
01:08:03.000Because I think there's a difference between people who get sad and it's like, well, well, you know, I'm sad.
01:08:08.000And people who get sad and they're like, help me, help me.
01:08:28.000One lone Patriot says, If Republicans hold Congress, do you think that will change anything on immigration, or do we need to purge the party before we will get anywhere?
01:08:37.000I think we'd have a better shot of immigration, but we have the House and the Senate now, and nothing has happened.
01:09:29.000You know, it's fun because on the show we have like, not only do we have your core cast, which is me, I'm the main character.
01:09:37.000We have guests who are like your supporting characters, we have the producer who steps in from time to time, but then we also have this like rotating cast of.
01:09:47.000Like secondary characters on the call in shows on the super chat, so it really is like a real community.
01:09:53.000It's like when you come on America First, it's not like what you're watching Tucker Carlson, where there's no like interface.
01:09:59.000It's like you watch Tucker and it's sterile, but when you watch America First, it's like you're going to your local bar and you see the local people and they're interacting with each other and they're picking up where they left off the last time and they all know each other.
01:11:01.000I hate to pitch it as that because I don't like e bagging and say, like, we rely on your support because it's a sale, like, it's a product.
01:11:09.000You know, you get the audio only podcast format of the show.
01:11:13.000You get more than 20 hours of premium content.
01:11:16.000And soon, perhaps there will be another podcast in the works with some people you might like and have seen on the show before.
01:11:23.000So that might be going behind the paywall as well.
01:11:26.000And you get a premium role in the Discord server.
