00:03:53.000I almost just hate talking about her because every time, I mean, there's no good way to talk about this person.
00:04:00.000Every time anybody on the right, really anybody at all, is critical of this person, if it's not glowing celebration, if it's not talking about the red lips and the hoops, you just get blasted.
00:04:13.000You get blasted from these progressives, these millennials, the women who say that anybody who's critical of her.
00:04:20.000Oh, they want to sleep with her, or, you know, there's some kind of old crank on the right or something.
00:04:26.000So it's almost like this weird, like, Tulpa effect or something.
00:04:31.000You just can't talk about her without there being some kind of vicious response from the other side.
00:04:43.000The only reason I bring it up is because, you know, whether we like it or not, and some people on the right like this, some people not so much.
00:04:52.000Whether you're a part of a more establishment way of thinking or maybe a newer way of thinking.
00:04:58.000But the green, climate change, environmental type stuff is going to be a fixture in the 2020 election.
00:05:06.000It's going to be a big deal for a long time afterwards.
00:05:10.000And I've been looking at the polling in preparation for the show.
00:05:13.000And irrespective of age, also, there's big support for this.
00:05:17.000But in particular among young people, big support for green energy, big polling numbers for people that believe in climate change, that believe that.
00:05:27.000It's a crisis that man is culpable for it.
00:05:31.000So that's why we're talking about it tonight.
00:05:33.000We'll get into all of that what's in the deal, who's sponsoring the bill, who's supporting it, who is running for president, the election, rather, the effect that it'll have on the election, and everything like that.
00:05:45.000We're also going to talk tonight about some new developments in the 2020 election on the Democratic side.
00:05:51.000We have somebody else who is announcing her candidacy this week Klobuchar from Minnesota.
00:06:17.000And that's going to be a big problem for her.
00:06:18.000As great as her wealth tax might sound, you know, as excited as people would be for basically the female Woodrow Wilson, some stodgy academic from Massachusetts, some shrill woman.
00:06:33.000As excited as everybody is for that epic campaign, it might be over before it even begins because of this Native American stuff.
00:06:42.000Very good coverage of everything that's happening on the left, on the Democrat side tonight.
00:06:47.000It should be a good one, should be very insightful and interesting.
00:06:51.000But before we get into any of the Democrat stuff, I got to tell you this is very brief because there's not a whole lot of news about this, but it is just something to be mindful of.
00:07:16.000We're sort of back in the mindset of where we were at the beginning of 2019 and at the end of 2018, which is the spotlight on the border wall fight, particularly the border wall fight as it pertains to the government shutdown.
00:07:29.000And so it's actually kind of funny because I feel like, it seems like, I imagine probably a lot of people feel this way, that the government reopened only very recently, but already, you know, two thirds of this time period between the continuing resolution being passed and when it expires, it's already over.
00:08:06.000There was this big report today that I saw on Reuters which says, and this is not good for anybody, this is not good coming off the heels of the State of the Union.
00:08:15.000This is not good coming off the heels of the president today announcing this global woman's initiative with regard at least to the focus or the lack thereof in the White House.
00:08:24.000But the report from Reuters today says that Republicans are actually backing down and saying, yeah, we don't need $5.7 billion.
00:08:32.000You know, that number is way too high.
00:08:36.000So I guess congressional Democrats have come to Republicans and said, well, we will support some form of border barrier.
00:08:45.000The congressional whip on the Democrat side came out, I think, yesterday and said that actually the Democrats will support physical barriers on the border.
00:08:54.000Which is an interesting turn of phrase there, which the president has kind of allowed that to happen.
00:08:58.000But they won't support a wall, and they will not give, certainly not give $5.7 billion.
00:09:56.000Just a little report by Reuters which says that it seems like Republicans are backing down, but I don't think there are any signs that this is a good thing.
00:10:06.000I don't think there are any signs showing that since we reopened the government, we've made any progress.
00:10:11.000And in fact, the evidence suggests that we've fallen behind on this issue severely, that it was perhaps maybe a big mistake.
00:10:19.000Because, like I said, two weeks in, two weeks in to the continuing resolution, two weeks since the government has been reopened, And it looks like there's no strategy.
00:10:29.000We better hope and pray that there's some sort of state of emergency that's been planned out, that's been drafted, that will be able to survive a challenge from the courts or from the Democrats in some form in Congress, because it doesn't look like the deal's going to happen through Congress.
00:10:45.000It seems like that was what it was going to be from the start, but we embarked on this suicidal mission anyway.
00:10:52.000And you have to think did we embark on that suicidal mission to try to get it through Congress because we really thought it would work?
00:10:59.000Or did the president do that because then in 2020, when he has nothing, he can come back and say, Oh, well, look, I tried.
00:11:06.000I tried to get it through the Congress, but I just simply couldn't.
00:11:08.000If that was the case, then it wasn't suicidal, it wasn't failed.
00:11:12.000The design was for it to try and we were going to work really hard and make this big spectacle out of it and ultimately fail.
00:11:19.000And in that case, you know, you've succeeded in showing in 2020 that there was an attempt, but you just couldn't quite cut it.
00:11:30.000We'll definitely keep a much closer eye on that now that it's only a week away.
00:11:34.000You know, it's been two weeks and it hasn't been in the news because there hasn't been, it doesn't look like any initiative, any effort on the.
00:11:41.000Part of the White House to really make a strong push in the press, in the Congress, anywhere for the wall, but a lot of pushes on other weird projects.
00:11:50.000But we'll be looking at that over the next week.
00:11:52.000Government shutdowns next week, if there isn't anything else done about that in Congress and if there isn't a state of emergency.
00:12:49.000She's now entering the race this week.
00:12:51.000And I think that she might actually stand a chance.
00:12:54.000You know, people are looking at who might be viable and who isn't.
00:12:57.000And I feel like there's somewhat of a bias on our side because, of course, we would never support somebody like this some boring female Midwesterner, whatever.
00:13:07.000But she actually might be a pretty good candidate because, unfortunately, women, with regard to the Republican Party, tend to be a very big problem in the sense that you look at who Donald Trump has lost.
00:13:19.000Since the 2016 election, we look at the 2018 numbers, we look at the polling today, and the biggest electoral problem for this president and for Republicans at large is the female vote.
00:13:30.000This is why I think, in a big way, beyond just the ideology, the Democrats are really trying to capitalize on feminism by trying to put in place all these different female options.
00:13:40.000You've got, out of the declared Democratic candidates, I believe the only male so far is Cory Booker.
00:13:47.000Everybody else, you've got Elizabeth Warren.
00:13:49.000You've got now Klobuchar, you have Kamala Harris, you have Gillibrand.
00:13:53.000So far, it seems to be a lot of women in the field, and I think that's a big consideration for them.
00:13:59.000You look at the 2018 election and why we lost so many different congressional seats, and even why some of the Senate seats were a challenge, and it's because you look at suburban moms, suburban women, white women, and in droves in places like Virginia and elsewhere, they were leaving the Republican Party.
00:14:20.000A very down to earth, boring, again, middle of the road Midwestern woman could be a real threat to the Republican Party.
00:14:28.000Now, there are some early reports, and it's actually kind of interesting how the Democrats are just, it's like the shark tank over here.
00:14:36.000Every time one of these people announces, they've got these vicious smear pieces.
00:14:40.000You look up, for example, Klobuchar, as I did to do a little research for the show, and the top three headlines are all hit pieces.
00:14:48.000And you know that the Democrats and the left wing mob run the media.
00:14:52.000So, you know that they're responsible for this.
00:14:55.000The top three headlines are all talking about how she's apparently this terrible person to work with.
00:15:00.000For example, one of the top smear pieces said that she's not able to find anybody from her staff to run her 2020 campaign because she is so verbally and sometimes in other ways abusive to her staff.
00:15:14.000They say that until 2016, she had the highest rate of staff turnover in the entire Senate.
00:15:53.000You go back even further to 2008, and the things that were done by the Clinton family against Obama and against some of the other candidates were very brutal.
00:16:03.000And that'll play into our hands because.
00:16:05.000A big part of what they're looking at, and we'll get into this a little bit with Elizabeth Warren, a big component of this primary for 2020 is electability.
00:16:14.000If you look at a lot of the polling numbers, I think the latest poll says that 60% of registered Democrat voters said that they would rather have somebody who could beat Donald Trump be the nominee than somebody who aligns more closely with them on the issues.
00:16:30.000It was only something like 33% of registered Democrats who said that they would vote for somebody who more closely aligns with the issues.
00:16:37.000But wasn't maybe the most electable person.
00:16:40.000So that's going to be the biggest concern.
00:16:42.000And so you add that component in where the Democratic Party is at.
00:16:46.000Obviously, after their humiliation at the hands of Donald Trump, psychologically, institutionally within the party, you know, they've decided like we can't really afford to goof around.
00:16:56.000We can't really afford all this other stuff.
00:17:00.000And they're all unified behind that goal.
00:17:02.000And once you put that component inside the Democratic primary, it's going to be an absolute.
00:17:08.000It's going to be a blood sport, like it was, I guess, in the debating YouTube sphere a couple of years ago with all these different candidates.
00:17:14.000And it won't even be so much an ideological debate about who's got the better policy and so on, in the way maybe that it was in 2016 with Republicans.
00:17:23.000Because, of course, with Republicans, there was that component of, well, who's going to beat Hillary Clinton?
00:17:30.000But I think more primarily, it was a debate about what the Republican Party represented.
00:17:35.000You know, and it was Donald Trump versus Jeb Bush, and that's how it was framed, I think, at the outset.
00:17:41.000The debates were about foreign policy, for example.
00:17:44.000It was about the fact that Jeb Bush represented George W. Bush in all the foreign wars, and Donald Trump represented non intervention in a big way.
00:17:53.000I mean, they didn't call it that, but that's what it was.
00:17:55.000It represented this idea of this impersonal free market worship and protection, taking care of people, as Donald Trump said.
00:18:04.000You know, even on the health care issue, a lot of the people like Rand Paul and Ben Carson were pushing the more free market, private sector oriented solutions, and Donald Trump pushed.
00:18:14.000Very simply, I'm going to take care of everybody.
00:18:16.000There are things about Obamacare that are very good, which is very appealing to a lot of people.
00:18:22.000So, in the Republican Party, I think their civil war, their bloody 16, 17 person primary, was about the ideas, was about the issues.
00:18:31.000What Sean Handy would call a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party.
00:18:35.000He would say that like every day on his show.
00:18:37.000I think the Democratic Party, it may be a big problem for them that it'll be this battle for electability because then it's just going to be people knifing each other and slicing each other up because.
00:18:48.000Of course, Democrats are crooks and criminals and bad people.
00:18:51.000There's a lot of nasty stuff to unearth there.
00:18:54.000And just wait until you find out some of these things about Kamala Harris, some personal things, some things going on in her legal background.
00:19:02.000Cory Booker, of course, who's obviously a homosexual.
00:19:25.000There is a recent development on this.
00:19:27.000You know, I feel like every other week that's the issue.
00:19:30.000She's apologizing for the Native American claim.
00:19:34.000But this was actually released pretty strategically almost an hour, a few hours before the State of the Union.
00:19:39.000You have to wonder with timing like that, is it deliberate?
00:19:42.000Because this was literally a few hours before the State of the Union address, which is, of course, sucks all the wind out of the room, that this was reported everywhere from the Washington Post first, but reported everywhere, that in 1986 on her Texas. Bar registration card, she listed her race as American Indian.
00:20:03.000We knew that she identified as Native American, and she made this a big part of her identity when she was running for office, and well before that in school when she was a lawyer, she identified as Native American.
00:20:16.000It's not exactly surprising that this has come out.
00:20:18.000You know, people are treating this like a bombshell, and she's had to apologize for it, and she's been asked about it.
00:20:24.000Like I said, she's had to apologize three times just this week about a few different scandals with the Native American thing.
00:20:31.000But of course, this raises the question of how is she going to get elected?
00:20:34.000How is she going to win the nomination if every week you've got this slow trickle of new documents, of new yearbooks, or whatever?
00:20:43.000All these things from her past coming to light oh, well, you claimed you're a Native American here, you said you were a Native American over there, you know, all these different pieces of the puzzle which are bound to come out as they already have.
00:20:56.000Some of it has been self imposed, like the genetic test, which was a disaster in October.
00:21:01.000If you remember, she took a DNA test and said, Oh, actually, I have Native American ancestry dating six generations back.
00:21:08.000And that was some intention, or I guess her intention was that was an attempt to clear the air on that issue and sort of make amends and say, Oh, look, you know, I wasn't faking the whole time.
00:21:35.000But obviously, for the Democratic Party, that's a big scandal because they're all about oppression and identity and very sensitive to that kind of cultural stuff.
00:21:44.000And in a race where you've got a lot of choices, and in a race where you've got a lot of multiracial, multicultural choices, that's going to be a big liability.
00:21:53.000Imagine her getting on the debate stage with Kamala Harris, who has made it basically part of her stump speech to talk about racial oppression and systemic injustice and how the American story is riddled with victims and sins and everything else.
00:22:08.000It's not going to be a good look, and it's not going to go away anytime soon because, as evidenced by this 1986 Texas bar registration card, you're going to have documentation that is out there.
00:22:19.000You're going to have public statements that are out there for probably 40 years back that have yet to come out, that have yet to see the light of day, that will be reported on, that will be seized upon by every other person who's running in the race.
00:22:32.000And like I said earlier on, we were talking about Klobuchar, that might not have been a problem in a different race.
00:22:38.000This, I don't think, was a big problem when she ran for Senate initially or the last time.
00:22:43.000I believe she was only elected in 16, if I'm not mistaken.
00:22:47.000But irrespective of that, I'm not sure exactly the details.
00:22:50.000You've got like five different senators running, so it's hard to keep track.
00:22:53.000But irrespective of that, now that you've got this new race and the fixation is on electability, the fixation is on pragmatism, if you have this big racial scandal and Donald Trump has already branded you, already pigeonholed you as Pocahontas,
00:23:10.000if your entire campaign, your railing against the rich and your progressivism, if all that is overshadowed by this silly and weird and insulting, insensitive scandal, For, again, these crazy racialized Democrats, they're probably not going to come out and vote for her.
00:23:28.000I imagine that'll be a big consideration.
00:23:30.000That'll be a big, big liability for her in the debates and then in the primaries.
00:24:27.000And only said it was an exploratory committee.
00:24:29.000My guess is so that that would sort of act as like a smokescreen or something, kind of throwing that up in the air so that all the attacks come now.
00:24:39.000So that she's sort of thrown herself up, she's in the public eye, she'll bear the brunt of the Native American stuff, the scrutiny, all the different papers coming out now, and that'll give her an ample amount of time to sort of act as a buffer zone between now and the election that it'll sort of be a non issue by then.
00:24:58.000Because if you think about it, The first primary, the Iowa caucus, doesn't happen until January or February 2020.
00:25:05.000I'm not sure the exact date, but at least in 2016, it was late, late January.
00:25:10.000I think almost the last day in January.
00:25:13.000So a year would be a long time to be fixating on the Native American thing, even as sort of bizarre and for as long as it's followed her.
00:25:21.000A year more of that would be a long time for that to still be an issue.
00:25:25.000But regardless, it'll be there for as long as you've got as many people in the Democratic primary as there are, because they're going to be looking for anything and everything.
00:25:34.000With Elizabeth Warren, I think that she's probably less likely now to be the nominee because of this.
00:25:50.000But these little minute details, they can ultimately be disqualifying because, look, you're going to have such a diverse field, so many different people.
00:25:59.000And Elizabeth Warren, you know, her claim to fame is being the progressive icon.
00:26:05.000Capture the same spirit that Bernie Sanders did.
00:26:07.000If you've got like three or four hardcore progressives and you've got like three or four women and you've got a few white women and none of them have this weird ancestry scandal that has been around for years, people are going to opt for the other options.
00:26:21.000That's the problem in such a busy primary.
00:26:26.000Because you had so many options and so many were redundant, it was like one or two scandals and you were totally sidelined because there's just not enough media coverage and there's not enough attention to go around.
00:26:37.000So that'll be a proverb, but we'll keep an eye on it.
00:26:39.000Another part of 2020, and this is going to be obviously the feature of the show, the title of the show, which is the Green New Deal.
00:26:47.000And I guess it's all about 2020 now, even as far out as we are.
00:26:51.000And that should tell you something about our system.
00:26:53.000That should tell you something about our political system that the election is two years away.
00:26:58.000The midterms were like three months ago.
00:27:01.000We are way closer to the midterms than we are to a 2020 election.
00:27:06.000And already, everything that is being done in the Senate, in the House, even things that the president is doing, he's doing a rally next week.
00:27:18.000So, people are campaigning, and I guess Donald Trump has really been campaigning since he got inaugurated, so for four years.
00:27:25.000I guess that should tell you something about the system that everything we're talking about tonight, and probably everything we'll talk about until the next election, is about the next election.
00:27:34.000Kind of, you know, is that really going to work?
00:27:36.000Is that really something that is sustainable?
00:27:39.000Maybe that's something to think about.
00:27:41.000But anyway, this is important in and of itself.
00:27:45.000It's important in itself, but it's also important for the 2020 election, which is this Green New Deal.
00:27:51.000And this has been talked about for a long time.
00:27:53.000You guys have probably heard about this before.
00:27:55.000This has been spearheaded by the Congresswoman who shall not be named, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, our favorite.
00:28:03.000You know, and like I say, she's not really that pretty.
00:30:36.000She's got the right idea with this, but the specifics are they have something to be desired here.
00:30:41.000So I'll just read off some of the content of the Green New Deal, which, again, I guess it's self explanatory, but for people that don't understand, it's sort of like the New Deal, the FDR program in the 1930s and 40s to stimulate the economy after the Great Depression.
00:30:59.000But it's green, it's supposed to be an environmental Green New Deal, it's supposed to reinvigorate the economy, massive government investment into the economy to get us off fossil fuels, to get sustainable.
00:32:24.000So we're going to get all our energy, cars, electricity, everything like that, from wind, solar, and maybe some other forms of energy in 10 years.
00:32:32.000So I would understand if it was like you get rid of everything in 100 years or in 50 years.
00:32:39.000I think 50 years would be ambitious, but in a decade?
00:33:03.000Some of the other goals here we have new projects to modernize U.S. transportation infrastructure, cutting carbon emissions from manufacturing and agricultural sectors, making buildings and homes more energy efficient, and increasing land preservation.
00:33:18.000The Green New Deal aims to create an economic safety net for communities that will be affected by the impacts of climate change.
00:33:26.000And the shift away from fossil fuel use, including through guarantees of health care, jobs, and jobs training.
00:33:35.000It doesn't just say we're going to have a transition plan in place for people who rely on fossil fuel industry.
00:33:43.000So it's not just people that are going to get laid off from getting fired at the coal plants and oil plants and everything like that, but also people that are going to be affected by climate change.
00:33:54.000So that's like everybody in coastal areas.
00:33:57.000That's everybody who's affected by pollution.
00:34:00.000So, this is like tens of millions of people we're talking about providing a social safety net.
00:34:07.000I think it's almost a misnomer to describe it as a safety net.
00:34:10.000I mean, if you're talking about jobs, healthcare, and job training, that's really less of a safety net.
00:34:16.000You think of like a safety net, which is there just in case.
00:34:20.000You know, a safety net is there to catch you if you fall.
00:34:23.000And then you get out of the safety net.
00:34:25.000It's not like, you know, if you're walking along some sort of structure that's high up and you fall into the safety net.
00:34:31.000Like, it's there as a contingency plan, and also you don't like hang out in the safety net for 25 years, and you're like, you know, I just sort of like this.
00:34:41.000Like, obviously, it's an emergency plan that's in place.
00:34:45.000You're intended to get out of the safety net.
00:34:48.000So, to say we're going to give you health care and jobs and job training, that's really more like a crutch.
00:34:53.000That's really like a safety wheelchair, basically.
00:34:57.000And the wheelchair is like taxpayers crawling around on the ground, and you're sitting on top of them.
00:35:03.000So, it's like tens of millions of people are getting on the safety, you know, the social safety wheelchair, and we're just going to be crawling around with, you know, some, what do they have?
00:35:13.000A harness in our mouth, and you're going to have blacks and Hispanics cracking the whip, riding you while you're crawling around on the floor on your hands and knees.
00:35:28.000So, we're going to have job training, jobs, and health care, not just for people laid off because we're getting rid of the whole fossil fuel industry, which is like, I mean, that's so big in Texas.
00:35:39.000That's huge in Appalachia, but that's all going to go away.
00:35:44.000And we're going to give that also to everyone in the coastal areas.
00:35:47.000So, everyone in the eastern seaboard, everyone who's on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, probably everybody who's affected in the inner cities, everybody's on board with that.
00:35:59.000And even better than that, the Green New Deal resolution includes explicit language that will promote, that will quote, Promote justice and equity by preventing current and repairing historic oppression to frontline and vulnerable communities.
00:36:21.000Not only are we just eliminating all of this industry within 10 years and everything's going to be solar and wind and everyone's going to be on welfare, but in addition to everyone being on welfare, it's only going to be blacks and Hispanics and Asians that get the welfare.
00:36:50.000Maybe we, white people, should just get castrated and we can offer up white babies to serve as like, you know, rich people caviar.
00:36:57.000You know, they can get their limbs chopped off.
00:36:59.000It's sort of like a new abortion procedure, like anything else while we're at it, while we're, you know, promising the moon and everything else.
00:37:07.000But of course, these things have costs.
00:37:09.000You know, it's, Those are only the most reasonable aspects of it.
00:37:12.000Some of the other demands are that they want to upgrade all existing buildings.
00:37:19.000So, every building in America, they want to upgrade and make energy efficient.
00:37:24.000So, they say that all the buildings in the country are energy inefficient.
00:37:27.000We're going to rebuild everything in the country to be energy efficient and sustainable and all that.
00:37:35.000They want, like I said, net zero carbon emissions in 10 years.
00:37:38.000And they want to make air travel obsolete with high speed rail.
00:37:42.000So, you know, and I said, Is there anything else?
00:38:01.000And so, like I said, the deal itself is very dumb, very stupid.
00:38:05.000And this just goes to show that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she's not like this ominous figure like everybody says, like, oh, she's this.
00:38:14.000I don't know why there's this fixation about her on the Republican Party.
00:38:17.000We've probably talked about her once, maybe twice on the show before the Green New Deal, and we're only talking about her because this is a big deal.
00:38:52.000But the idea that we're going to make plane travel obsolete, the idea that we're going to fully decarbonize the economy in 10 years, I mean, this stuff is just.
00:39:01.000However, if you look at any of the polling on this, unfortunately, this is where we're headed.
00:39:06.000And that she proposed it, and that she proposed it now, and that you have all these presidential candidates jumping on board, says a lot about how politics is changing.
00:39:15.000You look at the polling, and it's not like they're dumb.
00:39:18.000It's not like they don't know what they're doing with this.
00:39:21.000There was an NBC poll at the end of the year in 2018 that said that two thirds of the country believes that climate change is happening.
00:39:30.000And the Yale survey was done by this climate change group, so I wouldn't say it's a totally honest poll, but I think the numbers should be read out.
00:39:39.000This survey from Yale says that 70% of Americans believe in climate change, 57% believe it's caused by human activity.
00:39:46.000More than 80% of registered voters support the Green New Deal proposal, and that includes 92% of Democrats and 64% of Republicans.
00:39:56.000Now, I don't know what the question was.
00:39:58.000There wasn't a whole lot of data available on this that said.
00:40:01.000What the question asked was, did it include the costs or whatever?
00:40:05.000But regardless of that, it just goes to show, even if it didn't have that in the question, it just goes to show that green sells.
00:40:13.000And if it's not popular now, even if the numbers are skewed now, if you look at millennials, if you look at Generation Z, they're big believers in environment, particularly on the left and in the middle.
00:40:40.000And that's not a perfect, obviously, the, you know, if you look at the language structure, conservative doesn't come from conservation.
00:40:48.000However, that has historically always been part of the right wing.
00:40:51.000You look at even in America in the 19th century and beyond, even in the early 20th century, who spearheaded the preservation of the wildlife?
00:41:13.000Tucker Carlson has sort of laid the groundwork for that, I think, in a big way already.
00:41:18.000The right wing case for environment, for anti tech, for sustainability, and so on.
00:41:23.000But we're not really investing in that.
00:41:26.000We're not really thinking about that, or at least the people in charge aren't.
00:41:29.000People like Charlie Kirk are talking about how capitalism rules, fossil fuels are epic, we love oil, we're just guzzling oil.
00:41:37.000You know, they've got people coming on Fox News like, Who's that character who I think he's in the Ayn Rand Institute or something?
00:41:43.000He wrote this book called The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, saying, you know, not only are fossil fuels good, but we need more of them and we need everything to run on fossil fuels.
00:41:52.000And even if, let's say, even if you agree with that, even if you think there's nothing wrong with fossil fuels, and I happen to be of the belief that God created the world for mankind, I'm not a total tree hugger, okay?
00:42:04.000I believe there should be reasonable limits, but I'm not, you know, one of these people who says that, you know, we're a part of the human ecosystem, man.
00:43:21.000And there should be like an alarm bell going off in every think tank and every consulting group and In right wing consulting in Washington, D.C., in New York, but it just isn't happening.
00:43:33.000But you poll any of the young people, you look at what they care about, that's where it is.
00:43:36.000And certainly immigration presently is a big issue, but these have to coexist alongside that.
00:43:41.000And here's the thing here's why it matters talking about the Green New Deal.
00:43:45.000The Democrats don't have good answers for these questions, by the way.
00:43:49.000You know, it's not like, oh, there's this behemoth and we will never be able to co opt these issues.
00:43:54.000What's the Democrats' position on health care, education, and environment?
00:44:14.000But they're obviously running away with it and winning because they're the only ones talking about it.
00:44:18.000They're the only ones with the platform.
00:44:20.000If we had something that was sellable, something saleable, something that you had a 30 second elevator pitch or a buzzword, even if it was just that simple, it doesn't even have to be a comprehensive plan.
00:44:31.000It doesn't even have to be totally workable, but just something you could say in two seconds, like Green New Deal, or universal health care, free education, free college, something that easy, and we would be competitive, but we're not there.
00:44:46.000So I see the Green New Deal, and I say, yeah, like everything else the Democrats are proposing, particularly this batch of young progressives and people of color, these intersectional, I mean, these are really now the shock troops of the cultural Marxist or Jewish revolutionary spirit.
00:45:09.000It's a lot of goofy, dumb stuff, but they're out there.
00:45:13.000They know where the appetites are, and it's not for oil.
00:45:16.000It's not for arms deals with Saudi Arabia, okay?
00:45:18.000It's not for moving the embassy to Jerusalem, and it spells a lot of trouble for us.
00:45:23.000So we can look at this, and I know a lot of, you know, there's a lot of old bastards watching Fox News, and I know they're out there, you know, all these geriatrics watching Fox News and Sean Hannity religiously every night and saying, huh.
00:45:36.000These crazy millennials, they want this Green New Deal.
00:45:39.000How are you going to pay for it, Sonny?
00:45:41.000You know, and they're posting Facebook memes about, oh, these socialists.
00:45:45.000They're posting that Margaret Thatcher quote Still, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.
00:45:53.000You know, that's fine and well, you retard.
00:46:17.000There's a lot of opportunities we could be taking, shoring up our base with immigration, coming up with policy platforms that are going to be viable for the next generation of politics.
00:46:46.000This will be debated on the 2020 stage.
00:46:49.000People are going to want an answer for this.
00:46:51.000And when Donald Trump gets up there and says, Oh, I don't believe in climate change, and we just need oil and blah, blah, blah, maybe that'll sell in West Virginia, but it's not going to sell anywhere else.
00:47:24.000We're going to be able to reverse that.
00:47:25.000You know, people, when the IPCC, the International Panel on Climate Change, comes out and says, oh, we can't allow the temperature to rise more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, and in order to stop it from rising that much, we have to de industrialize this much industry.
00:47:45.000Even if the climate is changing, even if we're contributing, I doubt that they know that, well, it's a matter of this many degrees, and we know.
00:47:55.000How much the planet will change in terms of degrees as a factor of how much emissions are.
00:48:16.000People want an answer on the green stuff, on the environment, and the right wing can have a great platform on that.
00:48:22.000We can have a great anti tech platform.
00:48:24.000We can totally incorporate environment and anti tech.
00:48:28.000Into economic nationalism, into a comprehensive Republican paradigm shift on economics by saying we want trade protection, we want pronatal tax and monetary policy, we want protection for the environment, we want to stall technology to protect jobs, and also we could say as a tertiary benefit to protect the environment.
00:48:52.000I mean, there's a lot of things we can do that are totally not a compromise, but we just have to get away from.
00:48:58.000The lobbying, the think tanks, all these dummies, people like Charlie Kirk, who are bought and sold by Koch Industries, and Koch deals in energy.
00:49:06.000And all the Republican donors deal in energy.
00:49:08.000That's why the platform is We Love Oil, We Love Coal, Natural Gas, because they're the ones bankrolling all the different campaigns.
00:49:13.000So the sooner that we break away from that kind of stuff, the better.
00:49:41.000We win elections by promising free stuff.
00:49:43.000And Republicans are out there like, well, I hate to break it to you.
00:49:46.000I hate to burst your bubble, but we can't have anything that we want ever because it costs too much money and there's all these other problems, but we're going to give stuff away to corporations.
00:49:54.000You know, these dummies, doesn't matter.
00:50:41.000There's always like the one rhino, the one.
00:50:45.000The one guy who still really believes in the free market, who somehow stumbles into this show, Nick, are you actually a socialist?
00:50:52.000Don't you know socialism doesn't work?
00:50:55.000It's like, well, that's really kind of not the point, you know?
00:50:59.000Well, let's take a look at our Streamlabs here.
00:51:01.000We've got an old millennial who says Darren Beatty tweeted that Burkean conservatism can only provide a framework to understand what has already been lost and is useless for understanding how to gain it back.
00:51:18.000And I haven't seen that tweet, but I think the premise is sort of the Sam Francis idea.
00:51:26.000Sam Francis wrote a book called Revolution from the Middle, and it's really more just a collection of essays.
00:51:32.000But the theme, the premise of the book, is talking about the fact that if conservatives are going to win in the country, and I'm answering the larger question here if conservatives are going to win in the country, we have to adopt a sort of revolutionary tactic.
00:51:48.000Even though we're not revolutionaries in the sense that Ideologically speaking, we don't believe in revolution.
00:51:54.000In terms of tactics, we have to act as though we are Leninist revolutionaries.
00:52:00.000Because the kind of prescriptions that were handed down to us from Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk, a lot of the other classical conservatives, those strategies just simply don't work in the context of the 21st century.
00:52:12.000When you have ascendant and dominant hegemonic liberalism, postmodernism, these countercultural forces, I guess now they're just cultural forces.
00:52:24.000I think, you know, Burke is effectively, or rather, Darren Beatty is effectively correct when he talks about how Burke is more descriptive of what happened before, but probably not totally essential for describing what it'll take to get it back because he's right.
00:52:38.000I mean, you look at what Burke talked about, which is this idea of always being against revolution.
00:52:43.000Of course, Burke's philosophy is best summed up by his reflections on the revolution in France, and that's where a lot of conservatism comes from.
00:52:51.000That's where the word right and left and Basically, conservative and liberal comes from the reaction to this revolutionary, liberal revolutionary spirit in the late 18th and mid 19th century.
00:53:03.000You look at D'Emestra, you look at Burke, you look at any of these characters, and they position themselves in opposition to the revolution, to these sweeping and drastic changes to the society.
00:53:16.000And I guess what Beatty and San Francisco are talking about is essentially that we can no longer have this ideological or firm opposition to revolutionary tactics, to sweeping social change, to Infiltrating and subverting the order because, you know, they are so destructive.
00:54:52.000You know, you have a bad speech every now and again.
00:54:55.000Like I said, I'm not satisfied with the trajectory.
00:54:57.000I'm not satisfied with the progress so far, but the fundamental assumptions are still there.
00:55:03.000Trump is still trying to advance the cause, he's still our best hope.
00:55:07.000He's still trying, it appears, to get something built on the border.
00:55:11.000And at the end of the day, that's what matters.
00:55:12.000And the difference between the critics and people like myself, and I'm critical, but I'm generally a believer of the fundamental difference, I think, between a black pillar and somebody who can be critical from time to time is the black pillar says, because Trump gave a bad speech, because there are setbacks, because we're not satisfied with Trump's progress, therefore it doesn't matter who is president.
00:55:37.000Because things haven't turned out the way we thought they would, therefore it just simply doesn't matter.
00:55:42.000We could elect a Democrat, and the two are interchangeable.
00:55:45.000And because of that fact, that means that elections don't matter.
00:55:49.000And elections will never solve anything.
00:57:14.000We want to become a part of the Congress.
00:57:16.000We want to become a part of the system and affect change through legitimate authority.
00:57:20.000Well, then there are other people who are critical who say they pose as those people, and they say, This Trump is the worst guy ever, right?
00:57:27.000Hey, my fellow Trump supporters, let's burn our mug hats.
00:57:46.000I'll tell you if it's going good, if it's going well, or if it's not going well.
00:57:50.000But the white pill mentality is always there.
00:57:55.000In the fight, we're always going to be in the game, we're always going to be mature about what's happening, and we're always going to have a realistic and pragmatic strategy.
00:58:02.000None of this stuff about, oh, we're never going to solve it through the battle.
00:58:05.000I'm 20, and I say that we're never going to solve it through the ballot box because I've seen everything and we're going to have a revolution.
00:58:17.000Put the skull mask down, start working on your physics homework so you can cool off a little bit, and then after class tomorrow, then we'll talk about whether or not that's really in our best interest, right?
00:58:28.000So that's really, I think, Rosa, if you bring up a good point there.
00:58:32.000Joel the Boomer says, Hey, Nick, Joel the Boomer here.
00:59:03.000Maybe Joe the Boomer will make me a turkey burger instead when I see him at CPAC.
00:59:09.000Turning Point Wakanda says, had to suffer through our Turning Point meeting today, biting my tongue whenever everyone else was praising the epic State of the Union speech.
00:59:18.000Such a blackpilling moment to see the youth being so cringe and blue pilled.
00:59:37.000You don't, because that's bad and hateful.
00:59:40.000Now, the way that you bring people around, and I've said this a million times look, just read the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
00:59:49.000I know people see that book as sort of a meme or a self help book, and I'm generally skeptical of self help books.
01:00:02.000So, as a genius, I can't, it's not dense enough for me, it's not sophisticated enough.
01:00:07.000You know, they just rehash the same point over and over, and a lot of it's common sense, but I think it's a good book.
01:00:13.000I think there's a lot of good tips in there that are.
01:00:15.000You know, it is sort of self help type stuff, but it's practical wisdom.
01:00:19.000But the general approach outlined by that, and that's something you should check out, but my general approach is always subtlety, inquisitiveness.
01:00:27.000You know, you never start out a conversation by telling somebody they're wrong.
01:00:32.000You never start out a conversation by trying to impress people with how edgy you are, how outrageous you are, how esoteric your ideas are.
01:00:40.000And I understand the inclination because you hear people talking like, yeah, I'm a totally epic conservative, I love the free market.
01:00:48.000And it's so tempting to go in and say, oh, that's not real conservatism.
01:00:52.000Have you even read the books I've read?
01:02:07.000I guess I'm against foreign aid when we have so many Americans that are struggling and I'm against welfare, but I guess they deserve it.
01:02:14.000You know, those kinds of things that are kind of, to us, they're obvious, but things that are subtle, sort of inquisitive, and it gets people to thinking.
01:02:22.000That's really what you want to happen.
01:02:55.000You got to pick issues that they are more open to.
01:02:57.000You know, some issues you'll never convince anybody on, but there's a lot of issues that we have, and you got to pick the one that is going to resonate the most.
01:06:02.000The body is not meant to undergo a surgery like this.
01:06:05.000And so doctors know full well what they're doing to the human body, the potential for complications, the psychological effect when people regret they have depression, they have suicide, whatever, and they administer it anyway.
01:06:17.000So people who do that, I think, should be put to death or they should be put in jail or something because it's just absolutely horrendous, and particularly on children because it's irreversible.
01:06:27.000You know, look, the hormone stuff, there's irreversible effects, but you understand taking hormones and maybe you get stunted development or whatever, it's not like you're.
01:07:14.000When you do these surgeries, and for children, you can never go back, and your life is just hell.
01:07:19.000So, yeah, big jail time if that happens.
01:07:21.000But check out my premium show for more on that.
01:07:24.000Ian says I know you're going to cringe when reading this, but theoretically, if Trump does nothing but let us down from now on, will you support Trump in 2020, or will you be okay with the Democrat taking office?
01:07:34.000And we could hope for another post Obama type effect.
01:07:38.000No, of course I'm going to support Trump in 2020.
01:08:24.000Maybe our Supreme Court judges aren't the best for us, but Democrat Supreme Court judges will overturn the First Amendment and allow hate speech laws.
01:08:33.000They will overturn the Second Amendment and allow sweeping gun control.
01:08:37.000They will overturn a lot of things that are going to hurt us, hurt our people, hurt our cause.
01:08:42.000They're going to let in all kinds of immigration.
01:08:44.000They're going to give amnesty to all the illegals in the country.
01:08:48.000It's going to be like hell on earth if these people get into office.
01:08:52.000So it's hard to understate, or rather, it's hard to overstate all the bad things that could potentially happen if we get another Democrat in office.
01:09:00.000It's going to happen eventually, probably, that we'll get another Democrat.
01:09:05.000But we can't bank on this crazy gamble that people talk about, this acceleration gamble.
01:09:10.000Oh, yeah, well, let's just let the Democrats take over and let things get really bad.
01:09:13.000Yeah, well, I guess one potentiality, I guess one 16th chance, is that people get really mad and then we turn fascist.
01:09:22.000What they don't tell you is that 15 out of 16 other potentialities is that everything just gets a lot worse.
01:09:28.000And our movement is neutered and castrated.
01:09:30.000And we're completely kicked off the internet and, in some cases, arrested.
01:09:35.000And we can't even say anything about immigrants or whatever.
01:09:39.000And the country accelerates in the demographic change.
01:10:31.000They'll kick us off everything forever.
01:10:34.000They'll make it illegal to criticize mass migration.
01:10:37.000They'll give amnesty to everybody who's here.
01:10:39.000They'll let the floodgates open with regular immigration.
01:10:42.000They'll turn the economy around so that it's like white people now just openly, explicitly giving reparations in the form of welfare, if it wasn't already happening, to non whites.
01:10:51.000Yeah, and then at the end of that, Democrats will never lose an election ever again.
01:10:55.000So there's your wow, that I'm so glad we went five feet on the gas pedal, full acceleration, right into a fucking brick wall, right?
01:11:03.000Apologize for language, but I mean, it's hard to, you know, hard to overstate how silly that is.
01:11:10.000We have Optics Cuck who says, Didn't you know that going to Charlottesville would be bad optics?
01:11:17.000Well, with Charlottesville, you know, you got to understand the mentality post Charlottesville is different than the mentality pre Charlottesville, you know, so it's sort of like hindsight is 20 20, basically.
01:11:28.000But when I went to Charlottesville, I actually turned down an opportunity to speak at Charlottesville.
01:11:35.000I was offered by one of the organizers back in like April 2017, I want to say, somebody reached out and said, Hey, do you want to speak at Charlottesville?
01:11:43.000And I looked at who was speaking there.
01:11:45.000I saw Spencer, Enoch, you know, these other people.
01:11:47.000I was like, Absolutely, I don't want to do that.
01:11:53.000But then it was actually Faith Goldie.
01:11:55.000It was actually Faith Goldie who convinced me to go.
01:11:59.000My right hand to God, it was Faith Goldie who convinced me to go because I didn't even buy my plane ticket literally until the night before.
01:12:06.000It cost me $600 to fly to Charlottesville.
01:12:09.000I could probably show you the receipt.
01:12:44.000I was in the march to McIntyre Park, but I wasn't at the actual Lee Park where all the action happened because we got there so late because we booked last minute and everything.
01:12:54.000And what made me change my mind was that this was right after that tape got dropped by Reagan Battalion, where I said, Oh, I said some pretty choice things.
01:13:03.000And there was a big social media boon from that.
01:14:09.000It's on me, but that was the reason that I changed my mind because I was like, oh, well, she's going and it could be a good opportunity to network and, you know, shake some hands and everything.
01:14:18.000I didn't even meet her, but, you know, yeah, that was great.
01:14:23.000$600 it cost me to go to Charlottesville and have all.
01:14:27.000That's why I got fired from Right Side Broadcasting.
01:14:30.000Everybody's like, oh, we got fired because.
01:14:32.000Like, all, like, I think in my Wikipedia article, used to say, which got deleted, and all kinds of other outlets say, oh, he got fired after he said journalists should be hanged in April.
01:15:00.000And I was like, and I said, look, you know, actually, the feeling's kind of mutual because.
01:15:04.000You know, I kind of want to spread my wings a little bit.
01:15:06.000It actually turned out to be a blessing because, honestly, at the time, I know they're building up the original programming now and it's getting, you know, they're getting better engagement with that.
01:15:15.000But at the time, I was getting terrible engagement.
01:15:17.000You know, I'd sort of just outgrown that operation that they were doing.
01:15:21.000And that's no offense to them, that's just sort of how it was working at the time.
01:15:25.000So it ended up being kind of a good thing that I was able to get the show going by myself.
01:15:31.000Was it a good thing to be at Charlottesville in and of itself?
01:17:19.000If it's just the same stuff, but with a young face, it doesn't matter.
01:17:22.000You know, Charlie Kirk is a meme because he's just this, like, I guess I shouldn't say this, but he's just like this baby faced guy in a suit.
01:18:33.000But they just totally ignore me and they peddle their own lame garbage.
01:18:38.000You know, I'm not going to name any names, but, uh, you know, because I don't want to jeopardize any deal.
01:18:43.000But there's a lot of people with, you know, they'll call me up and they'll talk to me and they'll send me messages and, you know, they, they, oh, you're cool and all this other stuff.
01:18:52.000And then I see them on Twitter and they post these gay boomer memes like, You suck.
01:20:13.000So, yeah, that would be a great argument, but we're dumb on the right, so we don't make that one.
01:20:20.000Sippin says your random Fortnite squad stream was great.
01:20:23.000When little kids get matched up with the streamer with over 100 live viewers, they freak out because most people on Twitch with zero live viewers have zero live viewers.
01:20:32.000So, someone with over 100 live viewers is really good.
01:20:35.000Well, yeah, and I had like 200 at the time.
01:20:39.000I feel like famous when I go on Twitch and I've got like 200 viewers and I squat up with some random like nine year old and I'm like, yo, twitch.tv slash Nick J. Fuentes, check me out.
01:21:17.000When I was 13 years old, the leader of the white supremacist movement knocked weed out of my hand and said, That's what the Jews are using to keep you docile.
01:21:26.000And I was like, I don't even know what docile means.
01:22:27.000And I guess because it's mostly males, it's more like 6% of black males, or rather 6% of the population, which is black males committing half the murder?
01:23:10.000He says climate predictors, weathermen, and IPCC should be forced by law to dress on the 10 day weather prediction clothing on the day of, if only for personal embarrassment in their daily life at being misprepared.
01:24:51.000It was very confused, and we were on our way to McIntyre Park, and then we got there, and everybody just kind of went off in different groups.
01:25:56.000We were just kind of talking, whatever.
01:25:58.000And I was like, What are you talking about?
01:26:00.000Then we turned on the news and we got to the hotel.
01:26:02.000They were showing the clip and everything.
01:26:04.000And it was a very crazy, very crazy day.
01:26:06.000Then James Alsup and his crew, they're like hanging out in our hotel room, which we were kind enough to let them all pile in and, you know, whatever.
01:26:15.000And then they're like, Okay, see you guys later.
01:26:23.000Then later that evening, I made my first appearance on the Weekly Sweat, my first ever appearance.
01:26:29.000Steve Chatterson was literally sleeping on the bed like five feet away, and I was on my laptop on the Weekly Sweat for the first time with Beardson, Sean, Paul Town, TV Quah.
01:26:40.000I didn't even know who Sean was at the time, I didn't even know his name.
01:28:12.000Never Alone Forever says more and more I get the feeling that fixing the role of the right is essential to disincentivize both leftist and migrant entitlement.
01:28:23.000I get the feeling that fixing the role of the right.
01:28:25.000What do you mean, fixing the role of the right?
01:28:29.000Can we just use proper English, please?
01:28:31.000I get these Streamlabs super chats and I feel bad because I want to read them off and give them a good response, but then people are like, you know, they just make it a mess.
01:28:39.000The fixing the role of the right is essential to disincentivize leftists, and I don't know what you mean by that.
01:28:44.000I can't say that I understand your question.
01:28:47.000God's plan says the Green Deal is the whitest proposal of all time.
01:28:50.000Well, yeah, only white people care about the environment.
01:28:54.000Cyrus says if we had the Green Deal 20 years ago on high speed railroads, 9 11 wouldn't happen.
01:29:50.000Racist, as I laid out last week, is a totally left wing term.
01:29:55.000It's a totally contextual term, which is used as a rhetorical weapon against white people, against traditional America and white civilization.
01:30:03.000But if you're breaking down what it means, which is that race is real and there is historical animosity between the races, then yeah, I mean, Democrats and Republicans are racist.
01:30:12.000Republicans are just implicit about it, and Democrats are explicit.
01:30:16.000Democrats explicitly are challenging white America.
01:30:19.000And Republicans are implicitly protecting white America.
01:30:29.000It's all that cocaine I've been doing, I guess.
01:30:31.000I love, I actually like the optics of that time I got a nosebleed because then everybody's like, this guy's on crack, which, er, he's on cocaine, which makes me seem way cooler than I am.
01:30:41.000I don't do any drugs, but people are always like, dude, are you laying off the cocaine lately?
