America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - The Jussie Smollett HOAX | America First Ep. 321

00:00:03.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.

00:00:10.000 It's going to be only America first.

00:00:15.000 America first. 0.93

00:00:24.000 Good evening,

00:01:48.000 everybody.

00:01:49.000 We're watching America First.

00:01:50.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:01:52.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:01:54.000 Very excited to be with you this evening.

00:01:57.000 We're hanging in there.

00:02:00.000 We're hanging in there.

00:02:01.000 It's Wednesday of the longest week ever.

00:02:04.000 I haven't left the house in like four days, five days.

00:02:09.000 I guess that's not entirely because of the weather, but it is substantially because of the weather, as you may know here in Chicago.

00:02:16.000 A little bit chilly.

00:02:18.000 It's a little bit cold.

00:02:19.000 We could use a little bit of that global warming here.

00:02:22.000 The winter week goes on another day, and we've been talking about this for the past couple of days.

00:02:29.000 It was pretty rough on Tuesday, it was pretty rough on Monday, but today we're just getting the worst of it.

00:02:34.000 Down to negative 50 degrees this morning.

00:02:37.000 Negative 50.

00:02:39.000 So I just been hanging out, just been hanging around the house, not really going anywhere.

00:02:44.000 It's really putting a squeeze on my diet.

00:02:46.000 Normally, I rely in this food desert on McDonald's, I rely on Taco Bell.

00:02:54.000 And so when it's as cold as Antarctica, I feel bad.

00:02:57.000 Ordering it on like Uber Eats, and I'm not going out for it.

00:03:02.000 So it's been real hard on me trying to survive this winter.

00:03:06.000 But that's okay.

00:03:07.000 We've got a big show tonight, very high energy, lots to talk about.

00:03:11.000 We'll be looking at some of the things which we did not get to cover last night.

00:03:15.000 We ran out of time.

00:03:17.000 It was such a good show, such a good whiteboard yesterday talking about the left, the right, what is identity politics, which I thought was just fantastic coverage.

00:03:26.000 Real hats off to me yesterday.

00:03:28.000 I think it was really.

00:03:29.000 Solid content.

00:03:30.000 But we did not get to yesterday what I intended to get to all the way through, which was you look at Kamala Harris's Medicare for All proposal at her CNN town hall.

00:03:41.000 We wanted to look at Howard Schultz, the Independent.

00:03:44.000 I know some people were asking about that in the super chats, in the comments.

00:03:49.000 I saw, I think even somebody emailed me asking about it.

00:03:53.000 So I intended, excuse me, to cover that yesterday.

00:03:56.000 Didn't get to it, but we'll talk about that tonight.

00:03:59.000 We'll talk about Hillary Clinton.

00:04:00.000 And then the featured story, of course, is this.

00:04:03.000 Great hoax happening in Chicago, which I don't even think I need to go into why it's a hoax.

00:04:10.000 I mean, we can talk about oh, did they, you know, did they look over the surveillance footage and find the assault?

00:04:18.000 Did they do all the right things?

00:04:20.000 Did they find any evidence?

00:04:21.000 I don't even think we need to get that deep into it.

00:04:23.000 The claim is, I guess there's this actor.

00:04:27.000 He's in a show called Empire, which is this black show about, I don't know, black people in the recording studio. 0.74

00:04:34.000 I don't really know anything about the show, but I guess there's this gay actor.

00:04:37.000 Who plays a gay character in the show?

00:04:38.000 He's black, of course.

00:04:41.000 He got off a train on Tuesday, so I guess it was like late Tuesday or Monday evening, Tuesday morning.

00:04:49.000 It's like 2 a.m., 3 a.m., right?

00:04:51.000 So I don't really, when it's there, it's like, is it nighttime?

00:04:53.000 Is it the morning, I guess?

00:04:55.000 But so he got off the train at like 2 or 3 a.m.

00:04:58.000 And the claim is that a couple of masked Trump supporters, white guys, beat him up. 0.84

00:05:05.000 They called them homophobic, racist slurs. 0.76

00:05:10.000 And then, here's the most fantastical part.

00:05:13.000 They put a rope on him.

00:05:15.000 They put a rope around his neck to simulate a lynching and then poured bleach on him.

00:05:22.000 And then they yelled out, This is MAGA country.

00:05:24.000 This is in Chicago.

00:05:25.000 This is in the north side of Chicago. 0.91

00:05:28.000 Where allegedly, at 2 to 3 a.m. on a Tuesday, you've got mass Trump supporters roaming the streets looking for black people to simulate lynchings on. 0.78

00:05:40.000 Okay, so I'll get into that.

00:05:42.000 We'll talk about the whole story.

00:05:44.000 And it should be a pretty fun show, pretty exciting show.

00:05:49.000 It is Wednesday, it's Hump Day.

00:05:51.000 I feel like this week is going by so slowly.

00:05:53.000 I don't know if it's the weather, I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation, I don't know what it could be, but it just feels like the week is just sort of standing still here.

00:06:01.000 But that's all right.

00:06:03.000 I think we've had some pretty good shows.

00:06:05.000 So I guess we're going to start out with the things going on with the election.

00:06:09.000 Again, it's going to be a pretty fun year.

00:06:12.000 2019 and 2020 is going to be a lot of election coverage.

00:06:15.000 I didn't really fully get to cover everything that I want to talk about yesterday.

00:06:19.000 You know, we spent so much time going over the particulars of that tweet that Kamala Harris made and sort of interpreting some of the rhetoric from her speech and what she represents for the Democratic Party and really for party politics post 2016, that it's obviously going to be very polarized, very racialized.

00:06:39.000 It's going to be, you know, defined by the extremes, by the fringes, the margins, as opposed to the center.

00:06:46.000 As it has been so far in the 21st century.

00:06:50.000 So, we went over all that yesterday, but we didn't get to some of the more substantive things.

00:06:54.000 For example, she went on a town hall on CNN earlier this week with Jake Tapper, and I guess she was talking about some of the things she wants to do as president and why she's running and all the rest.

00:07:05.000 And she said something that was actually pretty interesting.

00:07:08.000 This is something that has not really been a part of the mainstream Democratic platform for a long time, which is Medicare for All.

00:07:15.000 And this is, again, symptomatic of a lot of the things we talked about yesterday the fact that Kamala Harris truly is. 0.62

00:07:21.000 Far left candidate.

00:07:23.000 And if you look at previous Democratic candidates' failures or successes, they never ran on these kinds of extreme positions.

00:07:29.000 They appealed mostly to the center, to the middle.

00:07:33.000 And so you could see that even somebody like Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election was stridently against Medicare for All.

00:07:39.000 She said not only was it politically unrealistic, but it would be a disaster.

00:07:43.000 She said that it would mean repealing Obamacare and it would cause premiums to rise and everything else.

00:07:49.000 And a lot of people might look at that and maybe they'd be confused or whatever, but it's not surprising because Medicare for All is not a Popular proposal.

00:07:57.000 So the Democrats of 16, of 12, of 2008, while obviously Hillary Clinton was a disaster in a lot of ways and optics and messaging and physical health and things like that, the platform was ruthlessly pragmatic.

00:08:13.000 She was proposing things that were relatively popular where there was flexibility.

00:08:18.000 So Medicare for All was not something that was popular then.

00:08:21.000 It's not popular now.

00:08:23.000 And she didn't go for it.

00:08:24.000 Kamala Harris took a different approach.

00:08:26.000 So Jake Tapper asked her in this town hall, he said, quote, So, for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it.

00:08:33.000 And he's, of course, elaborating on this idea of the single payer health care system where you don't have private insurance.

00:08:40.000 And Kamala Harris says, Well, listen, and she sort of naturally dodges the question.

00:08:46.000 She says, Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care, and you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all the delay that may require.

00:08:58.000 Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval, and the doctor says, Well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this?

00:09:05.000 Let's eliminate all of that.

00:09:07.000 Let's move on.

00:09:08.000 And so it appears that she got a little bit flustered, a little bit uncomfortable because she is proposing something somewhat extreme.

00:09:16.000 And she sort of shoehorns it in there towards the end in a subtle way.

00:09:20.000 Let's eliminate all of that.

00:09:22.000 What she's getting at when they say Medicare for all, like so many other Democrat proposals, it's a total euphemism.

00:09:29.000 It takes a couple of things that sound like nice, which is universal health care and Medicare.

00:09:33.000 And, oh, yeah, Medicare for all, it's free health care for everybody.

00:09:36.000 Isn't that great?

00:09:38.000 But if you bring into the fact, and this is reflected in the polling also, if you bring in the fact that Medicare for all is going to cost a lot more, it's going to raise your taxes, people bring up the fact that you're going to have to get rid of Obamacare to pave the way for that, suddenly people don't support it so much.

00:09:52.000 Again, the polling reflects that.

00:09:54.000 So she sort of shoehorns it in there in sort of a subtle way, but she's saying let's just totally get rid of private insurance, let's completely nationalize healthcare.

00:10:03.000 And initially, I guess there were some Kamala Harris strategists who spoke to media and said, oh, no, no, no.

00:10:09.000 I guess Kamala Harris is somewhat open to exploring other options on healthcare.

00:10:13.000 She's not totally a communist on healthcare. 1.00

00:10:16.000 She's not totally going to nationalize healthcare. 0.99

00:10:18.000 But then you had another aide who went on Twitter and said, let me be clear, there is no way, shape, or form that Kamala Harris is backtracking on Medicare for all.

00:10:28.000 So it's sort of a confused position.

00:10:30.000 There's a little bit of a scramble there to sort of match, again, this growing disparity between the far left ideology of the party, which People feel pressured to commit to because you've got this rabid far left base demanding people shift further and further to the left.

00:10:49.000 And again, trying to meet the demands of politics in a practical and pragmatic sense.

00:10:55.000 The fact that the numbers just don't support it.

00:10:57.000 There are not enough people in the country, Democrats or otherwise, that support Medicare for all for that to be politically tenable.

00:11:04.000 And so this is one issue.

00:11:06.000 And this is one campaign where I think Kamala Harris, seeing the way that she reacted to that the other day, I don't think she's going to be. 0.94

00:11:13.000 A great candidate.

00:11:14.000 There's some other things going on behind the scenes where I think if she made it to the general, it'd be pretty rough for her, and there are some other optical things. 0.62

00:11:22.000 But the focus, I think, this week is exposing the fact that the Democratic Party is not in good shape.

00:11:28.000 I've been talking about this for a long time.

00:11:30.000 There is a vast chasm, again, between what they need to do to meet the demands of the base and what they need to do to meet the demands of normal, average Democrats, middle, independent voters, and that's only going to get worse.

00:11:45.000 You could see this with Howard Schultz.

00:11:47.000 We're going to get into that.

00:11:48.000 Momentarily.

00:11:50.000 But this was really on display also in 2018.

00:11:52.000 We talked about this a lot with Rick Sacone in particular.

00:11:57.000 Rick Sacone and Connor Lamb.

00:11:59.000 If you remember that election, that was a special election.

00:12:02.000 I believe it was the 18th district of Pennsylvania.

00:12:05.000 It was around this time last year, I think maybe a little bit closer to spring.

00:12:10.000 And in that special election, this was a district which was Trump country, historically Democrat, but it went for Trump.

00:12:17.000 And you had Rick Sacone, who is your total establishment Republican.

00:12:21.000 Should have won because normally that district, or at least in 2016, broke in big numbers for Donald Trump.

00:12:28.000 But you had Connor Lamb, who was the Democrat challenger.

00:12:31.000 He was young, he was a veteran, he was proposing things that were very Trumpist on trade, on drugs, on other things.

00:12:39.000 And in order for Connor Lamb to win that election, he had to explicitly disavow Nancy Pelosi.

00:12:45.000 Nancy Pelosi, who is now the Speaker of the House, he had to say, I am not a Pelosi Democrat, I'm not along with.

00:12:52.000 The leader of the Democratic Party.

00:12:54.000 I guess I'm just this Democrat that's out there in the ether with these sort of vague promises that I'll work with the president.

00:13:01.000 Manchin was the same way in West Virginia.

00:13:03.000 Heitkamp was the same way in North Dakota.

00:13:06.000 I think you saw the same thing with Donnelly in Indiana and some of these other people who ended up losing, who ended up losing in historically safe Democrat seats where Democrats were at least competitive in some of these places in the Midwest, in the Northeast, and that really spells a lot of trouble for them.

00:13:22.000 So for all the people that are saying, If we don't get our stuff together in so many years, and that's not to say that we shouldn't, but for the alarmists that are saying it's so close to democratic hegemony forever, I think it's actually quite the opposite.

00:13:36.000 I think we have never seen a point in history when the Democrats have been more fragile.

00:13:40.000 And I'll readily concede that, at least if you look at the current party as it stood like a week ago, it wouldn't be apparent because you saw in a great example, this, the government shutdown.

00:13:52.000 Democrats were very solid with their rank and file.

00:13:55.000 You remember that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi whipped the votes in such a way that there was only one Democratic defect, what is it?

00:14:04.000 Yeah, defection, defecting across the entire process on any bill, and it was Joe Manchin.

00:14:10.000 Joe Manchin in West Virginia, a totally red state that went fully Trump.

00:14:13.000 He barely won if it weren't for the Libertarian in 2018.

00:14:17.000 Only one defection in the entire course of the shutdown.

00:14:20.000 Whereas Republicans were, they had people defecting in Congress, they had people defecting in the Senate, people defecting in the cabinet all over the place.

00:14:28.000 It was a disaster.

00:14:29.000 So I recognize the political reality now, but as we see a 2020 campaign march along, I think you're going to see that cleavage, not only ideologically, but also ethnically.

00:14:40.000 That's going to continue to grow.

00:14:42.000 Continue to breed more conflict.

00:14:44.000 I can't wait for the first Democratic debate when you're going to get somebody. 0.99

00:14:48.000 Maybe it could be Hillary Clinton herself, or maybe it could just be a more moderate Democrat who is out there towing the normal, moderate, centrist line.

00:14:56.000 You know, that although in rhetoric they might cross the line sometimes, in policy they basically have maintained for somewhat of a long time.

00:15:03.000 If you look at the right people, they're going to be out there saying things like, oh, you know, we got to protect Obamacare or whatever.

00:15:09.000 And I can't wait for that moment when we see that the left wing is going to fight back.

00:15:14.000 Because in 2016, they didn't fight back.

00:15:16.000 If you remember when Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were battling it out, this is really the genesis of all of this, is of course Hillary Clinton, who couldn't be more establishment, obviously.

00:15:26.000 She's the wife of Bill Clinton, who was moderate by today's standards.

00:15:30.000 Somebody went out there and railed against illegal immigration.

00:15:32.000 Somebody who was, in a lot of ways, resembled some Republicans today and even some of the more based ones.

00:15:39.000 Some of the crime, some of the things he did with regards to crime and foreign policy, basically a middle of the road person.

00:15:45.000 Hillary Clinton's obviously been around the block, ran some very terrible campaign ads against.

00:15:50.000 Barack Obama, who many see as a far left ideologue.

00:15:55.000 So it's her, the establishment choice, the middle of the road choice, relatively speaking, against Bernie Sanders, who was like honeymooning in the Soviet Union and he's basically a communist and he's just this nutty little guy.

00:16:09.000 But if you remember in those debates when it was just him and her, and I think he had Martin O'Malley and Jim Webb and a couple of them, but eventually it was just him and her, they went out of their way, or at least Bernie Sanders went out of his way to not attack Clinton.

00:16:22.000 Remember he said, we. 0.99

00:16:24.000 Are done hearing about your damn emails. 1.00

00:16:26.000 That was like the biggest mistake that he could have made. 1.00

00:16:29.000 He didn't really fight that campaign.

00:16:30.000 He was trying to be a nice guy.

00:16:31.000 You know, the little bird landed on his podium.

00:16:34.000 He didn't really want to attack anybody, want to be a team player because Trump was on the rise or whatever, but he didn't fight it.

00:16:41.000 And the left wing people in the party didn't fight it also.

00:16:44.000 They held their nose, they voted for Clinton, and she lost.

00:16:47.000 The party that was preaching unity because of pragmatism failed.

00:16:53.000 Well, hey, if you're telling all these left wing ideologues, well, hey, we just can't do Medicare for all.

00:16:58.000 We just can't do free college.

00:17:00.000 We can't do all the things you want because that's not really politically palatable.

00:17:04.000 And so you need us.

00:17:05.000 You need the establishment.

00:17:07.000 You need the party leadership.

00:17:08.000 You need Tom Perez, as opposed to what's his name from Minnesota, leading the DNC.

00:17:13.000 You need establishment choices because that's the only way we're going to win.

00:17:17.000 And then I guess maybe we can incorporate your ideas once we get into power.

00:17:21.000 So the argument went.

00:17:22.000 But of course, if the pragmatists don't actually win the elections and they don't actually get into power and all this talk about practical.

00:17:30.000 Thinking and everything completely fails, well, then the ideologues say, hey, maybe it's time for that kind of thinking to end.

00:17:37.000 Maybe it's time that we get involved.

00:17:39.000 Maybe it's time for people like AOC. 1.00

00:17:41.000 Maybe it's time for people like Beta O'Rourke, who's a total left wing guy, Kamala Harris, to go full throated left wing in the same way that Trump went full throated right wing. 1.00

00:17:51.000 So that's going to be a big problem for them.

00:17:53.000 But anyway, on this specific topic in general, rather, in this specific topic in particular, you look at Medicare for All.

00:18:00.000 And again, this is.

00:18:01.000 Just goes to show why this is going to be such a problem.

00:18:04.000 This proposal costs, it's no secret to anybody, this proposal costs $32, closer to $33 trillion over 10 years.

00:18:13.000 I know that's a lot of people on the dissonant right, for some reason they have an aversion to talking about the cost of things, unless it's the military.

00:18:22.000 They're very triggered by how much we're paying for the military, but spending money on welfare, that's all fine and well.

00:18:27.000 For some reason in the dissonant right, there's the streak, but $32 trillion, that's not really a tenable proposal.

00:18:34.000 Totally impractical.

00:18:36.000 And that's something that even moderate Democrats understand. 0.98

00:18:39.000 So, on the face of it, it's a ridiculous proposal.

00:18:41.000 And then again, you look at the polling on Medicare for All.

00:18:45.000 This is something that is, if you look at general voters, they are 54% of them are against Medicare for All.

00:18:52.000 It's 54 to 24%.

00:18:54.000 Even with Democrats, it's pretty much divided.

00:18:56.000 There's more support among Democrats.

00:18:58.000 But if you're looking at, again, at the general public for registered voters, 54% of the country is against it, 24% are for it.

00:19:06.000 So, that means actually.

00:19:08.000 That Donald Trump's border wall is more popular than Medicare for All.

00:19:12.000 Just to give you an idea, if you think that the wall is a very partisan, polarizing, extreme sort of a thing, it's too far right, whatever.

00:19:21.000 Donald Trump's wall has consistently polled above 40% and has been inching closer towards 50% in recent weeks.

00:19:28.000 If you look at the most recent polls, it's getting up there.

00:19:30.000 It's almost even, 50 50, basically.

00:19:33.000 Medicare for All, it's 54 to 24, people against versus people for.

00:19:38.000 Just to give you an idea of where that stands and how Donald Trump might fare against some of these people.

00:19:43.000 So that's going to be the problem.

00:19:44.000 And symptomatic of that is this guy, Howard Schultz, who we're going to discuss now.

00:19:50.000 Of course, he is the CEO of Starbucks.

00:19:53.000 I guess he was, I don't know if he was the founder, but I don't really know his whole backstory.

00:19:58.000 But he's a billionaire, obviously.

00:20:00.000 He was the leader of Starbucks.

00:20:02.000 And on Sunday, he tweeted out, I guess, Bryden, who has been on the show a few times, he does his own podcast called Right to Bryden.

00:20:10.000 He's been on the show a few times, and he said that Ed Schultz was the dark horse.

00:20:14.000 He's going to change it.

00:20:14.000 He's going to run.

00:20:16.000 I guess he was right.

00:20:17.000 This was sort of a dark horse candidate as an independent from the beginning.

00:20:21.000 He came out on Sunday and he tweeted, I love our country, and I am seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent.

00:20:30.000 And this was, for a long time, the Democrats' worst nightmare.

00:20:33.000 This is something even in 2016 that was a big problem for them.

00:20:37.000 You know, you saw Jill Stein, you saw Bernie Sanders, even to a lesser extent, Gary Johnson.

00:20:44.000 As a big threat when they needed every possible vote.

00:20:48.000 When it came down to a few thousand votes that cost Hillary Clinton the election in very specific counties in Michigan, in Florida, in Pennsylvania, it was these smaller spoilers, even somebody like Ed McMullen for Donald Trump in Utah.

00:21:02.000 These smaller spoiler candidates were peeling off votes in an election where it's very close.

00:21:08.000 And although the popular vote wasn't totally close, you looked in 2016, again, the Electoral College was technically a landslide, but the states that tipped it in for Trump.

00:21:17.000 It was a few thousand votes that brought him to victory, that pushed him over the finish line.

00:21:21.000 So the spoilers made a difference.

00:21:23.000 Well, now you've got a self financed billionaire, centrist independent, who's going to enter the race and probably have a good chance because Donald Trump is not very popular.

00:21:32.000 He doesn't have great numbers in terms of favorability.

00:21:36.000 Neither does anybody on the left.

00:21:38.000 He might have a serious chance.

00:21:39.000 It would totally change the political calculus, totally change the electoral map.

00:21:44.000 So Democrats are scared about this.

00:21:46.000 I think the Republicans are sort of egging him on.

00:21:49.000 And we've got some internal polling numbers about this, which is a little bit interesting.

00:21:53.000 The conventional wisdom.

00:21:55.000 Again, is that he would be a spoiler and probably split the Democrat ticket.

00:21:59.000 You had Castro, Julian Castro, he came on television this week.

00:22:04.000 You had Bloomberg go on Twitter this week, both of them saying we can't have a third party independent run because you'd be handing the election to Donald Trump.

00:22:13.000 And if you look at the polling, it's sort of up in the air.

00:22:17.000 The polling from Ed Schultz's, I'm sorry, Howard Schultz's campaign would show that if a centrist independent ran in 2020, and this is just a no name, just a centrist independent, That choice was polling between 25% and low 30s.

00:22:34.000 So they said that the high watermark for any candidate would probably be the low 30s.

00:22:38.000 Once you put a name on the ballot, it would probably be substantially less than that.

00:22:43.000 So that the 30 would probably be the maximum you could expect out of that poll.

00:22:47.000 Trump consistently polled at 29 to 30%, very strong showing from his base, which supports him at about 70%.

00:22:54.000 And if it was Elizabeth Warren as the Democrat, she would be polling between 26 and 30.

00:22:58.000 So you'd be basically looking at Trump is at about 30.

00:23:02.000 Then you'd have Warren between 26 and 30, and then you'd have whoever the centrist independent would be, probably Howard Schultz.

00:23:10.000 Once his name is added, it would be 25 to 30 also.

00:23:14.000 And the polling would show that about 24% of Democrats would break if it was Elizabeth Warren on the ticket, would break for a potential centrist independent third party candidate, and only about 20% would defect from Trump.

00:23:27.000 So if you just do basic math, that would show that probably if Democrats are breaking 4% more for a third party candidate, Than Donald Trump, then they'd be in a little bit of trouble.

00:23:38.000 Some people say that's not the case.

00:23:40.000 A lot of people from the Howard Schultz camp have taken to television to say he wouldn't act as a spoiler, just be a free and fair election and get more options.

00:23:47.000 I guess we'll see what happens.

00:23:49.000 So far, and it's interesting because he's pitched himself as not a Democrat, even though, as I said yesterday, he's given so much money to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, all kinds of left wing politicians.

00:24:02.000 I mean, he's liberal, is what he is, but it's kind of ironic.

00:24:06.000 The reason he has a place in this election is because.

00:24:09.000 The so called liberal Democrat Party is just so far to the left of that that they constitute just a completely different entity in and of itself.

00:24:17.000 When you've got frontrunners, multiple frontrunners in the Democratic Party that want to abolish ICE, they want open borders, they want Medicare for all, they want reparations for blacks in some cases, you know, that's like a completely different party.

00:24:33.000 And so it's almost like Howard Schultz is like he's popped up and replaced the Democrats in a way, and I guess that's why they're concerned.

00:24:41.000 But he's been hitting the left really hard to sort of differentiate himself.

00:24:44.000 That's been the tactic, I guess, he's been.

00:24:47.000 He went to the 60 Minutes interview.

00:24:49.000 He's done some other work where he goes out there and he hits Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for her proposal to tax the ultra wealthy at 70%.

00:24:59.000 He attacks Medicare for all.

00:25:01.000 He's been hitting really hard against the left wing, trying to balance out some of the good things from the right, saying, Well, I'm not for a wall, but I'm for border security.

00:25:08.000 I mean, he's a centrist.

00:25:09.000 That's what he is.

00:25:10.000 But his chief task will be differentiating from the left.

00:25:13.000 Ultimately, I think it's basically true that he would act as a spoiler for the Democrats.

00:25:18.000 That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be a difficult race, because if a third party would peel off votes from anybody, I think he would peel it off in places that Trump won, Trump flipped, rather, in 2016.

00:25:30.000 But by the same token, if that's out of play for the Democrats also, you know, it could kind of go either way.

00:25:35.000 So it would be a tough struggle, but it would probably end up helping us in the end.

00:25:39.000 So that's Howard Schultz.

00:25:41.000 Just be very skeptical.

00:25:42.000 I know a lot of people might.

00:25:44.000 More middle of the road people might like to think that he is truly a centrist independent.

00:25:49.000 He's a liberal.

00:25:50.000 He might sound refreshing or good on some issues only because the people in the Democratic Party are like Karl Marx now, but the guy's a liberal.

00:25:59.000 So we'll see what happens with that.

00:26:00.000 I hope he officially announces.

00:26:02.000 He had a little bit of a faux pas today.

00:26:04.000 He was on Morning Joe and they asked him how much a box of Cheerios cereal costs as sort of like a gauge of is he really in touch with the common man?

00:26:14.000 He said, I don't know.

00:26:16.000 He said he had no idea how much a box of Cheerios cost.

00:26:19.000 He was actually surprised to learn that it was around $4.

00:26:23.000 I saw a lot of people online defending him, saying, Well, even I don't know how much a box of Cheerios costs.

00:26:28.000 I know how much it costs.

00:26:29.000 I haven't been to the grocery store in forever.

00:26:32.000 I don't think I've ever myself purchased a box of cereal ever in my life, maybe once or twice.

00:26:38.000 But even I know it's around $3, $4, depending on which cereal you're buying.

00:26:42.000 So I don't know. 0.98

00:26:43.000 That's kind of a dumb thing. 0.95

00:26:44.000 That probably won't be lasting much. 0.98

00:26:46.000 It's kind of funny.

00:26:47.000 And the last thing we'll discuss about 2020 is Hillary Clinton.

00:26:50.000 I don't really have too much to say about that other than it might be, it would be a very good thing if she ended up getting into the race.

00:26:58.000 It would be profoundly divisive.

00:27:00.000 Will she enter the race?

00:27:02.000 I think it's unlikely.

00:27:03.000 I think it's a possibility, but it's unlikely.

00:27:05.000 The reason we're talking about it is because there were some reports earlier this week that said that people close to her said that she still has not closed the door on the possibility she could run in 2020.

00:27:17.000 So that's a lot of hearsay, it's a lot of rumors.

00:27:20.000 I will say there is a lot of evidence that that could be true.

00:27:24.000 Why else would she be writing books and going on tour and talking to donors and getting on television?

00:27:31.000 It would be a little bit confusing why she would be doing that if that wasn't at least a possibility.

00:27:36.000 So it might happen.

00:27:37.000 We all know that would be very epic. 0.93

00:27:39.000 She could actually end up winning the nomination if she ran.

00:27:42.000 I think it would be tough, but she's got name recognition.

00:27:45.000 She ran in 2016.

00:27:47.000 When you've got so many candidates in the field, By the virtue of just being established, she might be able to pull out a small plurality and pull it off.

00:27:56.000 Who knows?

00:27:57.000 Right? 0.80

00:27:57.000 Because you're going to have centrists, you're going to have far left commies, blacks, whites, purples. 0.80

00:28:02.000 You're going to have so many people in the field from Beto O'Rourke to Kamala to, well, potentially Beto, to Elizabeth Warren to Tulsi Gabbard.

00:28:10.000 You know, maybe she would just sort of steal it in the way she did in 2016 and she'd have the party, the infrastructure, the money.

00:28:18.000 So we'll see.

00:28:19.000 I think it's unlikely, but.

00:28:20.000 It's kind of fun to think about if we got a Trump Clinton rematch.

00:28:24.000 If she ran as a Democrat, it would be so easy.

00:28:27.000 I think Trump would sail, he would coast to another four years.

00:28:31.000 So we're holding out hope that both of those things happen.

00:28:33.000 But the big featured story for the show tonight, moving right along, is this alleged hate crime that happened in my city, Chicago. 1.00

00:28:43.000 Well, it was in proximity to me, Chicago.

00:28:47.000 And like I said at the top of the show, the story goes this is the alleged incident.

00:28:53.000 The story goes that you have this actor who goes by the name of Jussie Smollett. 1.00

00:28:59.000 What a stupid name! 1.00

00:29:02.000 Jussie Smollett. 1.00

00:29:03.000 He didn't even get one of the cool ones.

00:29:05.000 He didn't even get one of the cool ones like Kanye or Barack.

00:29:08.000 Jussie.

00:29:09.000 What kind of name?

00:29:10.000 Sounds like his mom was drunk or something.

00:29:13.000 He's trying to say Jesse.

00:29:14.000 Anyway, so I guess he's some 36 year old actor.

00:29:18.000 He is on the show Empire. 1.00

00:29:20.000 He is a black homosexual. 0.78

00:29:23.000 The police report says that he was approached in the early hours of Tuesday morning by two people who gained his attention by yelling out, quote, racial and homophobic slurs towards him, adding that they punched him in the face, poured a chemical on him, and wrapped a robe around his neck.

00:29:41.000 In a follow up interview with police the next day, Smollett alleged that his attackers yelled, This is MAGA country.

00:29:49.000 So, again, we'll go over the story.

00:29:52.000 It is the city of Chicago, among the most liberal cities in America.

00:29:57.000 It is 3 a.m. on a Tuesday.

00:30:01.000 It is negative, probably negative 10, negative 15 degrees.

00:30:06.000 This guy gets off a train, and I guess, again, the story goes, you've got two.

00:30:13.000 White MAGA supporters, they've got MAGA hats on for some reason.

00:30:17.000 They have rope.

00:30:19.000 They have chemicals with them, bleach, some say.

00:30:23.000 And they're just walking down the street, masked again with rope for some reason.

00:30:29.000 It's 2 a.m., it's negative 10 degrees out, it's Tuesday.

00:30:33.000 It's time to go lynch that guy from my favorite show, Empire, right?

00:30:38.000 So they're walking down the street and they recognize this actor from Empire. 1.00

00:30:42.000 They say, Oh, hey, you know that black.

00:30:45.000 Network television show that's basically of, by, and for black people.

00:30:49.000 Hey, there he is.

00:30:50.000 It's Jussie Smollett from that show. 0.99

00:30:52.000 Hey, there's that gay black guy from that show. 0.99

00:30:55.000 Let's get him. 0.99

00:30:56.000 So they yell out, I'm sure, I don't know. 1.00

00:30:58.000 You get some racial sores in there, you get some, hey, faggot. 1.00

00:31:02.000 They come up to him, punch him in the face. 1.00

00:31:05.000 They pour bleach on him.

00:31:07.000 Again, they have bleach, take rope, wrap it around his neck.

00:31:11.000 Now, they don't lynch him, okay?

00:31:12.000 They don't, that isn't even attempted.

00:31:14.000 They don't, they didn't drag him.

00:31:17.000 I guess they just did that, like, really to get under his skin as a black man in America.

00:31:22.000 There was a statement.

00:31:23.000 They just, hey, here's the spare rope.

00:31:26.000 Remember when that happened?

00:31:26.000 Hey, remember this?

00:31:28.000 Yeah, this is MAGA country.

00:31:29.000 So that's, okay, really?

00:31:32.000 Really?

00:31:33.000 Give me a break.

00:31:34.000 And to me, what's the most fascinating about this is this is just the top story everywhere.

00:31:40.000 You've got, of course, Democrats.

00:31:41.000 Oh, hate crime in Chicago.

00:31:43.000 Wow, this is Trump's America.

00:31:44.000 Wow, Trump is at it again.

00:31:46.000 The MAGA supporters are at it again, roaming the streets. 0.99

00:31:49.000 Of Chicago, and I get it 10 degrees out on a weekday at 3 a.m., you know, simulating a lynching on gay black actors. 0.98

00:31:56.000 Ah, just the latest episode, right? 0.97

00:31:59.000 So you have that.

00:32:00.000 But to me, the most fascinating thing is for how many years did we just completely ignore?

00:32:05.000 I mean, there's some violence that happens in Chicago, right?

00:32:09.000 I've lived here my whole life.

00:32:11.000 The evening news every night, oh, you know, toddler murdered, baby murdered, you know, three people dead in Chicago.

00:32:17.000 And then you get, you know, the wife or the.

00:32:20.000 The sister, or whatever, on, and oh, he was getting his life back together.

00:32:24.000 He was an honor roll student, and they, you know, he was getting his life back on track and all that.

00:32:29.000 We've heard all the stories before. 0.84

00:32:31.000 The one time the left is concerned with violence in Chicago, it's either it's police killing a criminal or it's these fever dreams about the MAGA menace roaming the streets looking to not only just to harm black homosexuals, but again, also they had to have that psychological, this cruel, Psychological simulation of a lynching, also.

00:32:57.000 And it's wonderful because about a year ago, you remember when Donald Trump did his, or two years ago, I guess now, around the time of Trump's inauguration, he talked about Chicago.

00:33:07.000 He said it was carnage.

00:33:09.000 It was violence.

00:33:10.000 It's appalling.

00:33:10.000 It shouldn't be happening.

00:33:11.000 I'm going to send in the National Guard.

00:33:14.000 And do you remember what the media response to that was?

00:33:17.000 They said Trump is calling Chicago a war zone.

00:33:20.000 I think we know what that means.

00:33:21.000 Yeah, it's racist.

00:33:23.000 Chance the Rapper, Rob Emanuel.

00:33:26.000 No, no, Chicago's doing just fine.

00:33:28.000 You're saying Chicago's a war zone.

00:33:29.000 Chicago's actually amazing.

00:33:31.000 Chicago is, you know, yeah, we've got a worse murder rate than Afghanistan, but you're ignoring all the excellence that happens in Chicago. 0.99

00:33:40.000 Look at this shitty mural that some black kid from some Chicago public school made. 0.99

00:33:44.000 Yeah, that looks really good, Quan. 1.00

00:33:48.000 That looks really great.

00:33:49.000 You know, look at all this Chicago excellence, right?

00:33:51.000 Look at drill music, trap music, people killing each other.

00:33:54.000 That's so epic, right?

00:33:56.000 So they didn't want nothing to do with it then.

00:33:58.000 You could even go back seven or eight years when it was Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and it was the whole Black Lives Matter movement.

00:34:05.000 Remember?

00:34:06.000 They tried to portray black people and the left wing media.

00:34:10.000 Try to portray the problems for black men in America. 0.92

00:34:14.000 The real threat to their safety is a genocidal police force. 0.99

00:34:18.000 The narrative went that black people, young black teenagers, were being systematically killed. 0.98

00:34:24.000 It was part of a planned extermination by white supremacists in government, in the police. 0.99

00:34:31.000 You know, it was a plan, they wanted to get rid of them by, you know, black people would commit crimes and, you know, whatever. 0.99

00:34:39.000 They're hungry, all right? 1.00

00:34:41.000 You know, they just need to do that. 0.99

00:34:43.000 But these evil white cops, they would use massively disproportionate force to stop them. 1.00

00:34:47.000 They should have just shot for the legs, right? 1.00

00:34:49.000 That was the narrative. 0.99

00:34:50.000 So that's what black people had to worry about white police officers, like, you know, the guy in St. Louis or the neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, people like that. 0.94

00:35:00.000 And whenever anybody would bring up the fact, like, hey, you know, you say Black Lives Matter, you're concerned about black people dying or getting killed, well, the number one threat. 0.96

00:35:11.000 For black people, as other black people. 0.97

00:35:13.000 They're just gunning each other down like every day for sport, not just in Chicago, but everywhere, but particularly in Chicago. 0.98

00:35:20.000 And we would always hear back the same thing oh, that's racist.

00:35:23.000 We can't talk about that.

00:35:24.000 You're ignoring the bigger problem.

00:35:26.000 And really, this is the message.

00:35:28.000 It's almost the same thing as I talked about yesterday and last week. 0.99

00:35:32.000 The way that black people view crime, the reason for this madness, you know, a normal conservative pundit would just say, this is liberal madness. 1.00

00:35:41.000 This is liberal hypocrisy. 1.00

00:35:42.000 We can't make anything out of this. 0.89

00:35:44.000 No.

00:35:45.000 We can understand why this is. 0.96

00:35:47.000 Why is it that the left wing media, why is it that blacks get so upset when they hear any whisper of a white person killing a black person, a police officer, a MAGA supporter, but you know, black people again killing each other like it's like it's crazy, like it's a free for all. 0.91

00:36:03.000 Nobody really cares, nobody talks about it. 0.86

00:36:05.000 The reason is it's almost similar to the mentality you have with your family.

00:36:10.000 Think about that.

00:36:11.000 They view their own as like family in the sense that if you have a sibling, you know, I grew up with a sister.

00:36:18.000 If you have a sibling, there's the certain mentality of, well, I can mess with my sibling.

00:36:22.000 We get in fights.

00:36:23.000 We can insult each other.

00:36:24.000 We can have problems.

00:36:26.000 But if anybody else outside the family attacks my sibling, no, you can't do that.

00:36:31.000 Only I can because we're blood, because we love each other.

00:36:33.000 We're kin.

00:36:34.000 But if an outsider, if somebody else goes in, they're crossing a line.

00:36:38.000 It's a different dynamic.

00:36:40.000 And that's the same thing that applies in the black community. 1.00

00:36:43.000 That's why they don't care when black people are killing black people. 1.00

00:36:46.000 That's an internal problem. 1.00

00:36:48.000 That's something that goes on within a very corporate, Tribal, racial mentality. 1.00

00:36:53.000 Yeah, blacks killing blacks. 1.00

00:36:55.000 Well, but we're blood. 1.00

00:36:56.000 We're brothers.

00:36:57.000 All right.

00:36:58.000 We're in the community.

00:36:59.000 Like me, I'm 2% black.

00:37:00.000 That's why they don't get mad at me.

00:37:02.000 When I beat R.C. Maxwell down, that should have been a hate crime.

00:37:06.000 When I beat him down in a debate, nobody cared because I'm black. 0.56

00:37:10.000 I'm his brother.

00:37:11.000 You know, so, but that's how they view it.

00:37:13.000 When a white person attacks a black person, it's like somebody outside the family. 0.64

00:37:17.000 Well, that's not cool. 0.99

00:37:18.000 Suddenly it's vice versa blacks. 1.00

00:37:20.000 They protect their own. 0.96

00:37:21.000 It's the same thing with the Covington kids. 0.98

00:37:23.000 And another thing about this whole scandal, aside from that, which I think people understand at this point, that blacks have completely, totally, Tribal mentality. 0.99

00:37:33.000 For all the people that want to put identity politics aside, black people are the biggest proponents of it. 0.95

00:37:38.000 And white people understand that.

00:37:40.000 They respect even conservatives do. 0.89

00:37:41.000 White people are not allowed to have that kind of tribal mentality.

00:37:46.000 We're not even supposed to believe that we exist as a separate and distinct people, let alone have a tribal mentality. 0.77

00:37:52.000 If you were to say, you know, just think about it, if you were to say, well, I'm going to stand up for somebody who maybe they did something wrong because they're white, like me.

00:38:02.000 Does that sound wrong to you?

00:38:03.000 It may sound wrong to you because you've been conditioned for 30 years to believe that that kind of racial kinship is racist, white supremacist, problematic. 0.75

00:38:11.000 To say, I'm going to vote for that candidate because he's white.

00:38:15.000 I did that in Chicago when I voted in 2018. 0.87

00:38:17.000 I voted for all the white people.

00:38:19.000 I want to see people like me in government.

00:38:22.000 Isn't that fair?

00:38:23.000 Isn't that what they all said about Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012? 1.00

00:38:27.000 You know, I saw some numbers from some conservative retard the other day where they're like, oh, No, it was from Vice, actually. 1.00

00:38:33.000 They said, oh, Donald Trump got more black votes than John McCain and Mitt Romney. 1.00

00:38:37.000 Why do you think that was?

00:38:38.000 You think it was because Donald Trump was just so much more appealing to blacks, or do you think it was because he wasn't running up against somebody with black skin?

00:38:45.000 Why do you think Barack Obama won 97% of the black vote?

00:38:48.000 You think they just really like his ideas?

00:38:50.000 You think they just really are thrilled about the Affordable Care Act and what he did with insurance companies and the common market?

00:38:57.000 Give me a break. 1.00

00:38:57.000 It's because he was black. 1.00

00:38:59.000 Fine for them, not fine for us. 0.99

00:39:01.000 Now, that's not a problem.

00:39:02.000 No, because we're in the majority.

00:39:03.000 When we're not in the majority, different story.

00:39:06.000 So that's tribalism.

00:39:07.000 We understand that.

00:39:08.000 The other thing about this kind of a story, and watch this the people on the right don't believe this. 0.98

00:39:14.000 It's ridiculous. 0.96

00:39:15.000 Who would believe this? 1.00

00:39:16.000 The idea, again, that the problem in Chicago, or even that this is possible, that there's MAGA supporters roaming the streets yelling, This is MAGA country, lynching black homosexuals they see on television nonsense. 0.98

00:39:28.000 The left believes this without a doubt because it fits their narrative. 0.91

00:39:32.000 MAGA supporters attacking people of color, it's so infrequent, it's such a non issue that every time. 0.87

00:39:38.000 There's even some resemblance of that happening.

00:39:40.000 They will latch on to that again because it's sort of confirmation bias.

00:39:43.000 It confirms what they already believe.

00:39:45.000 They need that.

00:39:46.000 They're not invested in the details.

00:39:48.000 And what I've noticed happening over time is eventually we just live in two different worlds.

00:39:53.000 There's two different histories.

00:39:55.000 It's sort of like Kellyanne Conway said it's alternative facts.

00:39:57.000 People made fun of her for that, but it's basically what it is.

00:40:01.000 The left believes this is what the left believes in America today. 1.00

00:40:04.000 They believe that Republicans supported Brett Kavanaugh, who is a rapist. 1.00

00:40:08.000 They believe that Brett Kavanaugh, without a doubt, Held that girl down and he raped her. 1.00

00:40:12.000 And he was a serial rapist. 1.00

00:40:14.000 And the Republican Party protected him because he was a white male. 1.00

00:40:17.000 They knew he was a rapist. 0.99

00:40:18.000 They feared an investigation because they knew. 0.98

00:40:21.000 But they supported him anyway. 0.79

00:40:22.000 They believe that we endorsed that Covington kid, that Catholic kid, just the other week because he was white and he was terrorizing some Native American. 0.55

00:40:32.000 They believe that the only reason we landed on the moon was because they saw a little movie called Hidden Figures where it was only thanks to black female mathematicians and scientists that we were ever able to get there from the beginning.

00:40:44.000 They believe that Egypt.

00:40:46.000 The people that built the pyramids, some of the most important anthropological features in human history were built by black pharaohs and kings. 0.95

00:40:54.000 They believe in entirely different history than we do.

00:40:57.000 We who know, we who understand Brett Kavanaugh is not a racist, or a rapist rather, that the Covington kids were approached by the Native Americans.

00:41:05.000 We who knew that it was only through the ingenuity of white people that we landed on the moon, a particular subset of rocket scientists from a certain continental European country.

00:41:16.000 Maybe it was something called Project Paperclip that built the rockets to put us on the moon. 0.78

00:41:20.000 And that the pharaohs and the Greeks and all the ancients bore a closer genetic resemblance to us.

00:41:26.000 And that's no coincidence.

00:41:28.000 Than the people of sub Saharan Africa.

00:41:30.000 But you can see that all these different historical, sociological, political narratives that have been constructed, they accumulate.

00:41:39.000 You've got sort of this thick history, sort of like thick morality.

00:41:43.000 You've got this accumulation of events, narratives, ideas, whatever, that have just been distorted and changed through an ideological lens to the point where we can't even agree that various things happen.

00:41:54.000 You've got people that are coming out for these various different episodes and they bring up, oh, remember when.

00:41:59.000 Remember when you supported Brett Kavanaugh?

00:42:01.000 It's just like that.

00:42:02.000 And so every time that we get into a battle, we've got to re litigate basically all of human history.

00:42:07.000 Can't be done.

00:42:08.000 This cannot be done.

00:42:10.000 This is not sustainable.

00:42:11.000 A country cannot function this way.

00:42:13.000 It's not cohesive.

00:42:14.000 If you cannot agree on what is in reality objectively, that what you're perceiving is actually there and the same as what they're perceiving, this is why they say things like our truth, my truth, it's totally subjective.

00:42:26.000 You can't come to compromise.

00:42:28.000 You can't come to agreement.

00:42:29.000 And in fact, One side sees the other side as evil.

00:42:32.000 One side is correct.

00:42:33.000 You know, one side is evil, but one side is correct.

00:42:36.000 So that's why it's, look, the country's headed towards conflict. 0.99

00:42:40.000 You see these tribal mentalities.

00:42:42.000 You see these ideological, this ideological and partisan tribalism.

00:42:46.000 There is too much rigidity.

00:42:49.000 There is too much inflexibility.

00:42:51.000 It's not resilient enough to survive, especially not in a country as volatile as ours.

00:42:57.000 Our country is uniquely volatile because of our government structure, because of our Our media culture.

00:43:03.000 We have a culture that is built on rugged individualism, hyper capitalism, democracy, technological change.

00:43:11.000 All these forces, which are the hallmarks of the United States, are profoundly destructive, disruptive, chaotic forces.

00:43:19.000 You know, you think about democracy, for example, Great Britain has had the same head of state for like 70 years.

00:43:26.000 70 years, the same head of state.

00:43:28.000 America, we get regime change every four years, potentially.

00:43:32.000 One side of the country pitted against the other.

00:43:34.000 That happens in the legislature every two years or six years.

00:43:37.000 I guess two years because the Senate rotates out every third of the Senate every two years.

00:43:42.000 The presidency every four years.

00:43:44.000 You've got local government, state government.

00:43:46.000 That's a very volatile atmosphere.

00:43:48.000 You've got a 24 hour news cycle, which is a profit based system.

00:43:51.000 It's not like BBC, where it's funded by the government.

00:43:54.000 So they've got to feed the fire.

00:43:56.000 You've got technological and economic changes, which are causing economic discontent in ways that are not uniform, in ways that are heterogeneous.

00:44:04.000 Some are feeling it, some are not feeling it.

00:44:06.000 You know, for example, the housing market in.

00:44:08.000 2006 and 2008.

00:44:10.000 Completely destroyed some communities and some, it was completely unaffected.

00:44:15.000 So you add up all these different things, and the next 50 years is not going to be smooth sailing.

00:44:20.000 It's going to get worse.

00:44:22.000 So the Chicago hoax, it's not real. 1.00

00:44:26.000 You didn't get lynched by a MAGA supporter, you liar. 0.60

00:44:29.000 The problem in Chicago, what do you think the problem in Chicago is in the South Side and the West Side? 0.99

00:44:34.000 Do you think it's MAGA supporters or do you think it's black gangs? 0.63

00:44:37.000 I can tell you firsthand, you drive through Humboldt Park. 0.75

00:44:40.000 You drive even to Hyde Park.

00:44:42.000 I go to visit my friends at the University of Chicago.

00:44:45.000 I took a wrong turn once I ended up in Garfield Park.

00:44:48.000 I campaigned in McKinley Park.

00:44:50.000 I can tell you the problems in those areas it's not MAGA supporters, all right? 1.00

00:44:55.000 It's blacks and Hispanics. 1.00

00:44:57.000 And look at the murder rate. 1.00

00:44:59.000 Look at the FBI crime tables 13% of the population, 50% of the murder.

00:45:05.000 Let's get real, folks. 0.94

00:45:06.000 If we want to start solving the problem of violent crime, and even if the victims are blacks and Hispanics, let's talk about who the progenitor of it is. 0.58

00:45:13.000 And everybody's equal, everybody's totally equal.

00:45:16.000 And I love everybody, don't get me wrong.

00:45:18.000 But somebody's doing the murdering, somebody's doing the raping, somebody's doing all of the violent crime, or it's a disproportionate amount of it.

00:45:27.000 Not MAGA supporters, I could tell you that much.

00:45:30.000 Unless Blexit counts as MAGA supporters, right?

00:45:34.000 But anyway, we're going to move right along into our Streamlabs and Super Chats before I get myself into any more trouble here.

00:45:41.000 Somebody described me the other day on Twitter as carefully balancing on a tightrope.

00:45:46.000 He's still logging that tightrope.

00:45:49.000 That's an accurate representation of what goes on every night.

00:45:53.000 My whole life, I'm sort of on a tightrope.

00:45:55.000 Am I going to go too far?

00:45:57.000 And then everything's over.

00:45:59.000 Knock on wood.

00:46:00.000 Banned from everything.

00:46:01.000 I just.

00:46:01.000 Free fall to my death, right?

00:46:03.000 Or am I going to get another day walking the tightrope?

00:46:06.000 It's all about balance.

00:46:08.000 All great things are about balance, right?

00:46:10.000 America first, virtue and vice, right?

00:46:15.000 Anyway, let's take a look at our Streamlabs.

00:46:18.000 We've got a lot of them.

00:46:20.000 Norwood Nick says I was playing a game of Fortnite the other day and I noticed something weird.

00:46:26.000 Although everyone is supposed to be competing as individuals, 1.4% of the players in the lobby were working together, and the guy who got that epic victory was one of them.

00:46:35.000 Hmm, that's kind of interesting.

00:46:38.000 Yeah, that's kind of interesting.

00:46:39.000 The idea that, you know, you look at a game like Fortnite, and maybe you're playing squads, for example, where you got 100 people, 25 teams of four.

00:46:49.000 And, you know, I guess if you were playing that game mode and you only had one person in your squad, you'd be sort of at a disadvantage, right?

00:46:56.000 Because, you know, everybody else has four people on their team, and you only have one person on your team.

00:47:02.000 If we talked about that probabilistically, in terms of probability, rather, It would make sense that the winners, the people in the top five, the top six, the top 12, would be people with teams of four rather than teams of one.

00:47:14.000 And I guess you could take that principle even further that if you had, I don't know, maybe 60 people all competing as individuals, but then you had a squad of 14 and a squad of two and a squad of, you know, it's getting closer to 20 now, probably the winners would be the squads of 14, the squad of two, the squads of 20.

00:47:35.000 It wouldn't be one of the 60 individuals, right, who sometimes worked together but sometimes warred against each other.

00:47:41.000 Yeah, that's interesting.

00:47:42.000 I think that's a very interesting sociological point you're making there.

00:47:47.000 Let's see, we've got some more here.

00:47:50.000 Let me see, I lost my place.

00:47:52.000 LaMonkey says Good evening, everybody.

00:47:54.000 You're watching America First.

00:47:55.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and you would not believe your eyes if 10 million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep.

00:48:03.000 Yeah, that's great.

00:48:07.000 I hated that song when it came out, but now it's sort of nostalgic for me.

00:48:11.000 So, thanks.

00:48:13.000 Bubba Gump says, Love you, Nick.

00:48:14.000 Have you noticed Owen Benjamin is waking up?

00:48:17.000 I am so in love with my sister.

00:48:19.000 We were playing RuneScape together and she was cosplaying as the hit or miss girl.

00:48:22.000 Long story short, okay, whatever. 1.00

00:48:24.000 I'm not even going to address the second part, which is crazy and autistic. 1.00

00:48:29.000 But yeah, people, I don't know if you're joking, but people always do the super chat and they say, Oh, Owen Benjamin's waking up. 0.96

00:48:37.000 I like Owen Benjamin.

00:48:38.000 I think he's funny.

00:48:39.000 But you've got to remember that he's Jewish.

00:48:41.000 Now, there's nothing wrong with being Jewish, but when he talks about. 0.77

00:48:44.000 Like Jewish disproportional representation. 0.99

00:48:47.000 It's very easy to say, oh, like he's very honest. 0.96

00:48:49.000 Like he gets it.

00:48:51.000 But he comes at it from the same perspective as Brett Stevens, that rabbi shmuel or whatever, where they say, you know, we have to recognize and acknowledge Jewish power to protect Jewish power.

00:49:02.000 Oh, so that's not really waking up, is it, right?

00:49:05.000 I mean, that's not, I don't know if that really counts. 1.00

00:49:08.000 Because when he does his streams and he talks about, oh, there's all these, everyone in the intellectual dark web is Jewish. 0.80

00:49:14.000 You know, you've got probably how many people in LA and all the people in the intellectual dark web are Jewish? 0.97

00:49:18.000 There's something going on there. 0.95

00:49:20.000 But then he says, Aside from that, well, we have to acknowledge that to protect us.

00:49:26.000 I say that as somebody who wants to protect that.

00:49:28.000 Like, okay.

00:49:29.000 I don't know.

00:49:30.000 Maybe we'd have to discuss, but my perception of that is that he's not really based in Red Pill.

00:49:36.000 Joe the Boomer says proud to announce LaMonkey has been hired as a regular guest speaker on the Daily Brap Live. 0.58

00:49:42.000 He will be paid in bananas and will be flinging poo at the dummies from the Zoomercast.

00:49:47.000 Yes, Nick, you're debating Shapiro on the Brap.

00:49:49.000 You just don't know it yet.

00:49:50.000 Trust me, kiddo.

00:49:52.000 Oh, I believe it, Joe.

00:49:53.000 I believe it's going to happen.

00:49:55.000 Doc Sidney says, Nick, love you, big guy.

00:49:57.000 Listen, any chance we get a big endorsement for the Chad, New England Patriots this weekend to piss off the blue check marks?

00:50:04.000 Belichick, Ismaga, and Brady, a national treasure.

00:50:07.000 Also, Black Swan's epic unofficial America First Minecraft server equals high IQ.

00:50:12.000 Well, good to know about that.

00:50:14.000 I don't know.

00:50:14.000 I didn't even know the Super Bowl is this weekend.

00:50:16.000 I know it's, who is it?

00:50:19.000 It's the Patriots and the Rams, right?

00:50:20.000 And I was actually impressed with myself because I saw a map where they were like, here's who's supporting who.

00:50:27.000 In the Super Bowl.

00:50:28.000 And of course, all of New England was Patriots.

00:50:31.000 The rest of the country was Rams.

00:50:32.000 I guess they're mad because the Patriots win the Super Bowl a lot.

00:50:35.000 And Louisiana was Patriots also.

00:50:38.000 And I was like, well, why is that?

00:50:39.000 And then I remembered, oh, yeah, I remember there was that play.

00:50:44.000 Get ready for this, Dad.

00:50:46.000 You're about to be really proud, right?

00:50:48.000 There was this play in the playoff game, in the final game, where it was the Louisiana, the New Orleans, I don't know what city or state, the Saints.

00:50:59.000 Got ripped off because of a bad call by the referee handing the victory to the Rams, who are now in the Super Bowl.

00:51:06.000 That's why, because they're mad that the Rams stole it from them.

00:51:10.000 So, see, you know, people tell me, Nick, you got to know sports to, you know, make it in this life.

00:51:16.000 I disagree, but I know it anyway.

00:51:19.000 See, I know.

00:51:20.000 I know who these people are.

00:51:22.000 I know the score with football.

00:51:22.000 I know what's going on.

00:51:25.000 So, yeah, go Patriots.

00:51:28.000 I was in.

00:51:29.000 I was in Boston when they won the Super Bowl in 2017, right?

00:51:34.000 Yeah, 2017.

00:51:35.000 I was there because I was at school there.

00:51:38.000 And I remember going outside and everybody's in the streets.

00:51:42.000 It was actually a very fun night.

00:51:43.000 Now, I wasn't watching the Super Bowl or anything.

00:51:46.000 But when they won, we went out in the streets and I actually got recognized.

00:51:49.000 I remember because everybody goes out in the streets and they're all celebrating.

00:51:53.000 And I was walking through the streets with my friends and somebody came up to me and they're like, hey, are you Nick Fuentes?

00:51:57.000 And they're like, oh, dude, you're epic.

00:51:57.000 And I'm like, yeah.

00:51:59.000 So.

00:52:00.000 So, yeah, just a little relationship between me and sports.

00:52:05.000 Yeah, I guess you could say I'm kind of a sports guy.

00:52:08.000 Kind of a jock when you think about it.

00:52:12.000 Really into the football.

00:52:14.000 I can't even begin to read that username, but they say.

00:52:19.000 Okay, yeah, I'm just not going to read that.

00:52:22.000 This guy donates to Streamlab.

00:52:24.000 It's $14.88.

00:52:26.000 Oh, my gosh!

00:52:29.000 And the comment is just.

00:52:31.000 Repulsive.

00:52:32.000 Sheesh.

00:52:33.000 Honestly, this is problematic because when people come at me with unironic collective hatred of a race, you're forcing me to say, but we're not actually about that.

00:52:44.000 We're really not about that.

00:52:46.000 We're just not.

00:52:48.000 That's not me. 0.93

00:52:49.000 And everyone's like, oh, you're cucking. 0.98

00:52:50.000 You're like a left wing shill. 0.97

00:52:53.000 Like, no, I really don't have a problem with other groups of people.

00:52:57.000 We can recognize disparate outcomes.

00:53:00.000 We can recognize, obviously, problems with some groups as opposed to others.

00:53:05.000 But when people come in here with this kind of talk about, you know, hating a whole group of people, unironically, and I think people kind of got lost in the shuffle because it started out that we were like, we don't hate anybody.

00:53:17.000 We just like are noticing things.

00:53:19.000 And the left was like, no, no, you're a hater.

00:53:21.000 You, if, You know, if you do the okay sign, you must hate everyone.

00:53:25.000 And then I guess gradually people internalized this and said, Yeah, I do hate everyone.

00:53:29.000 I never was on board with that.

00:53:31.000 So I'm not even going to read that one.

00:53:33.000 Very, very sick. 0.98

00:53:35.000 Jay says, On a scale of one to retarded, how retarded are Cernovich and Scott Adams? 0.99

00:53:41.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:53:42.000 Scott Adams isn't terrible, but Cernovich is just really nasty to me. 0.95

00:53:46.000 I think he's kind of a shill, kind of a grifter. 1.00

00:53:50.000 So I think he's pretty retarded. 1.00

00:53:52.000 And Scott Adams. 1.00

00:53:54.000 I don't know enough about Scott Adams.

00:53:56.000 I don't really watch his stuff, so I can't really stay with him.

00:53:58.000 But Cernovich has been very rude to me, and he's just not really an ethical person.

00:54:04.000 He's not really somebody who I think is a role model.

00:54:07.000 You know, there are people who have been more or less a fan of mine, but who are my heroes.

00:54:13.000 But, you know, I don't think there's anything admirable about a guy who's just sort of a fake intellectual grifter talking about the simulation and all this other stuff. 0.98

00:54:23.000 Like, he's just a goof. 0.81

00:54:25.000 Let's see, we've got Billiam who says, How was the Chicago conference? 0.76

00:54:29.000 The IE guys were solid, thinking about joining.

00:54:32.000 Oh, the conference was good, pretty solid lineup and very organized.

00:54:36.000 I mean, it was a very well put together event.

00:54:40.000 And yeah, the IE guys were very solid.

00:54:42.000 For the vast majority of people there were really just normal guys, very put together.

00:54:47.000 A lot of them had families.

00:54:48.000 So it was really great to be amongst people who were well adjusted, normal looking.

00:54:55.000 So that's great and very encouraging.

00:54:58.000 McDonald's drive-through worker says, Hey, Nick, I have never been more convinced that we are fighting a spiritual war against literal demons.

00:55:06.000 Only by returning to God can we find salvation.

00:55:09.000 Keep up the great work and have a cheeseburger on me.

00:55:11.000 Well, thank you, big guy.

00:55:13.000 They are demons on the other side.

00:55:13.000 It's true.

00:55:15.000 They're killing babies, they're causing a race war. 1.00

00:55:17.000 It's what it is.

00:55:18.000 The you-know-what of Satan, which is in control.

00:55:22.000 The you-know-what, where they go.

00:55:24.000 America only says, Historically, no single movement has been far.

00:55:29.000 Historically, no single movement has been far as even as decided to use even.

00:55:29.000 Wait, what?

00:55:35.000 Okay, so.

00:55:37.000 What?

00:55:39.000 Oh my gosh!

00:55:40.000 Proofread the super chats!

00:55:43.000 Please!

00:55:44.000 I want to read your super chat, I want to respond to it, but when people come in here and it's just like illiterate, oh, it's America only, naturally.

00:55:51.000 Of course, it's America only, our favorite super chatter.

00:55:56.000 Let me read it to you, historically.

00:55:59.000 No single movement has been far, even as decided to use, even go want to do, look more like.

00:56:07.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, naturally.

00:56:10.000 Yes, having a normal one.

00:56:12.000 Me as well.

00:56:13.000 He says, Will American nationalism be the first?

00:56:17.000 Hashtag trust the plan.

00:56:18.000 Hashtag storm is coming.

00:56:20.000 I don't know if that's a parody.

00:56:21.000 I honestly can't tell.

00:56:23.000 Because some people do that and they are totally serious.

00:56:25.000 Some people, oh, they're not.

00:56:27.000 So I don't know if you're just trying to trip me up with just convoluted sentences that don't make sense, but.

00:56:33.000 Holy smokes.

00:56:34.000 Remember, 250 IQ.

00:56:35.000 He's got to be.

00:56:38.000 He's got to be 250 IQ.

00:56:40.000 All right.

00:56:41.000 Jay says Do you think universal catastrophic care insurance?

00:56:45.000 Good one, dude.

00:56:47.000 Yeah.

00:56:48.000 Universal Medicare for all, more like universal catastrophic care insurance, right?

00:56:56.000 Anyway, he says, Oh, wait, no, that's actually totally legitimate. 1.00

00:57:00.000 I thought now I look like an idiot. 0.99

00:57:02.000 Now I'm, you know what? 1.00

00:57:04.000 I quit.

00:57:05.000 Where's my body, Mike?

00:57:06.000 I'm out of here. 1.00

00:57:07.000 Now I look like the idiot. 1.00

00:57:08.000 No, that's totally, that's a totally legitimate thing. 1.00

00:57:10.000 I thought you were just, oh, it's just, we're having a bad one.

00:57:15.000 We're having a bad one today, right?

00:57:17.000 No, I apologize.

00:57:19.000 I apologize.

00:57:20.000 You're tall.

00:57:21.000 I'm short.

00:57:22.000 You're big.

00:57:22.000 I am small.

00:57:24.000 You're a genius. 1.00

00:57:25.000 I am just a lowly fool. 0.99

00:57:27.000 Yeah, universal catastrophic care insurance is a totally legitimate thing. 0.98

00:57:30.000 I was reading it so fast.

00:57:32.000 I was so high off of negging the previous stream laver.

00:57:37.000 So high and mighty.

00:57:38.000 Hubris.

00:57:39.000 Hubris.

00:57:39.000 Arrogance.

00:57:43.000 I thought you were doing like a demon crap sort of a boomer play on words. 0.98

00:57:47.000 But no, no, universal catastrophic care is what it is. 0.97

00:57:52.000 That's actually the right word to say.

00:57:55.000 Do you think the universal catastrophic care insurance, in addition to private insurance, would be a good solution to the health care issue?

00:58:00.000 Yeah, yeah, that's what I've. 1.00

00:58:02.000 Stupid, stupid. 1.00

00:58:04.000 Yeah, that's why I've been. 1.00

00:58:06.000 That's what I say every time people ask me about health care.

00:58:08.000 That's Ann Coulter's position.

00:58:10.000 I don't know if it's Ben Carson or Rand Paul's position, also.

00:58:13.000 It's been a long time since 2016 since I've read up on their position on health care.

00:58:18.000 I trust them because they're doctors, because the health care field is so specialized, so complex.

00:58:25.000 And I think that.

00:58:27.000 Probably the people that have worked in it, Rand Paul as an eye doctor, Ben Carson obviously as a neurosurgeon.

00:58:33.000 I think you actually have to be in it to really have that sort of practical expertise.

00:58:38.000 So I believe they were just in favor of health savings accounts, electronic medical records, that sort of thing, moving it more towards private health care.

00:58:48.000 But Ann Coulter is a little bit more political.

00:58:50.000 She says, yeah, that the universal catastrophic care plus private is probably the way to go.

00:58:54.000 I agree with that.

00:58:55.000 I think that's the best way to administer universal health care.

00:58:57.000 We're going to get it eventually.

00:58:59.000 Better to have private insurance also because the problem with nationalized health care is it's just rationed health care.

00:59:05.000 That's the definition of it. 0.55

00:59:08.000 Dumb Wignats think universal health care is a winner because it's politically popular.

00:59:12.000 Well, yeah, it's popular, but it has to be done right.

00:59:14.000 It might be inevitable, but it has to be done right.

00:59:17.000 You have to understand the economic principles are immutable to a certain extent.

00:59:21.000 There are abstract theories and everything, but supply and demand is very real.

00:59:25.000 So, again, the idea that you have the same amount of resources, but more people have access to them.

00:59:31.000 And everyone's going to get everything that they want.

00:59:33.000 Everything's going to, and it's going to be cheap or free.

00:59:37.000 You know, it just doesn't make any sense.

00:59:38.000 If I've got a pile of, if I've got a pile of 100 cookies and 100 people are eating the cookies and they're paying money to eat the cookies, and paying money is a way to ration, just like on the toll booth.

00:59:49.000 You know, if people put in place the toll booth, only people who absolutely need it are going to pay the $2 to use it.

00:59:54.000 Or if you commute every day, you might consider alternative options and then there's less congestion.

00:59:59.000 So the same is true with, you know, it's maximizing, Efficiency.

01:00:03.000 And the same is true with the cookie example.

01:00:05.000 If you have 100 cookies, everybody's paying to have their cookie, and 100 people are in this cookie eating enterprise.

01:00:11.000 But then you say, oh, well, now the cookies are free.

01:00:15.000 Everyone, now all 1,000 people can eat the cookies.

01:00:19.000 Well, does that increase the amount of cookies?

01:00:22.000 Does that change the economic reality that now you're going to have to divide 100 cookies amongst 1,000 people?

01:00:28.000 And not only that, but you're going to have to pay the people to administer the cookies.

01:00:32.000 In cookies themselves, so it's going to be an additional 200 people that are in on the take.

01:00:36.000 And these are called transaction costs or bureaucratic costs, you know, that kind of overhead when you have it administered by government.

01:00:43.000 So there's all kinds of economic things that are just common sense, which suggests that national health care would be a disaster.

01:00:50.000 It would either, the quality would decrease, it would be rationed, it would become more expensive, either for government or for private individuals if you had some degree of private health care, and these problems would only compound themselves.

01:01:02.000 This is what's happening in Canada and the UK.

01:01:04.000 So maybe you could have that in a locality, maybe in a city you could have that, but not in a nation of 330 million people, no way.

01:01:13.000 Let's see.

01:01:14.000 30 year old boomer says, I see a lot of Republicans like Will Chamberlain slash Coulter are overly zealous about a wall.

01:01:21.000 I seriously doubt they care that much about stopping coyotes slash drugs.

01:01:25.000 So, how do we engage those that tacitly know the demographic trends are awful but can't admit it in public?

01:01:32.000 Well, I mean, obviously, the wall is one small part of the solution in the sense that illegal immigration is a, you know, it's people who are illegally crossing over, but it's also visas.

01:01:46.000 And also, it's legal immigration.

01:01:47.000 Illegal immigration is probably less than half or about half of the problem.

01:01:51.000 The real problem is legal immigration, where you've got people that are anchor babies, or you've got people that have birth tourism, is another way to call it, which is a similar concept but same outcome.

01:02:04.000 You've got, again, mass legal immigration from Asia or from Latin America, and that's one or two million a year or between there.

01:02:11.000 So, yeah, that's the real problem.

01:02:14.000 I guess you're right in the sense it's a little bit overzealous.

01:02:17.000 The point I think they're trying to make is this is something that's concrete and cannot be reversed.

01:02:21.000 If we were to focus on policy, this could be reversed in four years or eight years or whatever.

01:02:26.000 A wall cannot be reversed because it exists there forever.

01:02:28.000 So that's probably a literally concrete way to sort of ameliorate the problem.

01:02:33.000 So, how do we engage people that won't admit that in public?

01:02:37.000 I think just doing what we're doing, shifting the Overton window on the issue.

01:02:40.000 We've come a long way, and there are a variety of arguments we can use to talk about demographic change.

01:02:44.000 You can use the crime argument, the culture argument, the economic argument, the political argument.

01:02:51.000 There's a lot of arguments you could go to that will.

01:02:55.000 Meet the needs of different people.

01:02:56.000 Some people, it really hits home when you talk about jobs. 1.00

01:02:59.000 Low income jobs for Americans are being stolen by immigrants. 1.00

01:03:03.000 That's a fact. 1.00

01:03:04.000 So if you know somebody that that's happening to, that's a great thing to bring up with them.

01:03:08.000 If you know somebody that's affected by drugs, talk about the crime.

01:03:11.000 The people that are coming over are obviously causing more crime.

01:03:14.000 So if somebody, their family member died of heroin, where's 90% of the heroin coming from?

01:03:19.000 It's coming over the border.

01:03:20.000 That'll really hit home.

01:03:22.000 You look at the cultural argument.

01:03:23.000 I know a lot of people.

01:03:25.000 Because I'm close to Chicago, that are really hit home by the fact that in certain Chicago schools, they're speaking Spanish in schools.

01:03:32.000 They're saying the Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish in schools, and so on.

01:03:36.000 That hits home for a lot of people.

01:03:37.000 Political.

01:03:39.000 They're all coming over and they're voting Democrat.

01:03:40.000 So there's a variety of arguments, and they're all implicit, subtle ways to bring up the fact that these people are causing problems.

01:03:48.000 So I think that's the way to do it. 0.99

01:03:50.000 Based one says Kamala Harris has been tap dancing hard for the black vote, and it will backfire based off of her past record as a district attorney. 1.00

01:03:58.000 Funny how she wants to push herself as black to get votes, but yet she denies her heritage and has a white husband. 1.00

01:04:03.000 Exactly. 1.00

01:04:04.000 Yeah, she's, that's not really going to work so well. 0.98

01:04:07.000 And yeah, it's very funny when people, when anybody tries to appeal to the black vote because the black vote is notoriously impossible to win. 0.90

01:04:15.000 There's no real winning there because there's no correlation between what they believe and what they vote for. 0.98

01:04:21.000 So it's totally just this futile effort of superficial things.

01:04:25.000 I mean, you might as well just have a rapper run for president.

01:04:28.000 You might as well have a basketball player run for president, basically.

01:04:32.000 As opposed to trying to appeal to them on a level of policy or something, right?

01:04:37.000 So, yeah, I think it's funny.

01:04:38.000 And, you know, they all do that. 0.98

01:04:39.000 They all tap dance for the black vote. 1.00

01:04:41.000 It's very funny and silly. 1.00

01:04:43.000 And it's a shame to see Republicans do it because it's so ridiculous. 0.99

01:04:46.000 Based One says, Yeah, I'm not buying the gun from Empire Story. 0.97

01:04:51.000 I'm not buying the guy from Empire Story. 1.00

01:04:53.000 It sounds like some gay role play party or something. 0.92

01:04:55.000 Must be some brave white people to walk around Chicago, of all places, with a noose claiming it's MAGA country. 0.99

01:05:01.000 100 bucks, people are black. 0.97

01:05:03.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00

01:05:04.000 100%.

01:05:06.000 Zoomer says, You have ruined every other political commentator for me forever.

01:05:09.000 None of them are as good as you. 1.00

01:05:10.000 They all just make me cringe with how obnoxiously gay their takes are. 1.00

01:05:13.000 Thank you, bro. 1.00

01:05:14.000 I really appreciate that.

01:05:16.000 That's why I did the show.

01:05:16.000 It's true.

01:05:17.000 I said, hey, everybody's kind of bad at this except for maybe Tucker or Ann Coulter.

01:05:21.000 But I'm based in Redfield.

01:05:23.000 I got to do it.

01:05:24.000 So thank you.

01:05:25.000 I appreciate that.

01:05:26.000 Western Man with a big donation.

01:05:29.000 Wow.

01:05:29.000 Much appreciated.

01:05:30.000 A lot of big donations this month.

01:05:32.000 Pretty good month for a knicker.

01:05:34.000 I do appreciate it.

01:05:35.000 God bless.

01:05:36.000 He says, Reformed Wignat paying my penance.

01:05:39.000 Keep doing God's work.

01:05:40.000 By the way, can I be unbanned from the live chat?

01:05:44.000 Well, I don't know.

01:05:47.000 Is your name Western Man?

01:05:49.000 For $100, I'll take you out live on air, sure. 0.95

01:05:53.000 Or I'll unban you, rather, live on the air. 1.00

01:05:56.000 Reformed WigNet. 1.00

01:05:57.000 Well, I appreciate that you're paying dues. 0.98

01:06:00.000 Finally, you see things my way, right?

01:06:04.000 Let's see.

01:06:04.000 Western man.

01:06:06.000 There he is.

01:06:07.000 All right. 0.95

01:06:08.000 You're unbanned.

01:06:11.000 All right.

01:06:12.000 You're officially unbanned.

01:06:12.000 I think that's saved.

01:06:14.000 So thank you very much.

01:06:16.000 And you're good to go.

01:06:17.000 Glad to hear we're reforming the law.

01:06:19.000 They all come around eventually.

01:06:20.000 Look.

01:06:21.000 I'm a nice guy.

01:06:22.000 I'm doing the right thing.

01:06:23.000 I'm a smart guy.

01:06:24.000 I know I can be a little abrasive.

01:06:27.000 I know I can be a little bit over the top sometimes.

01:06:31.000 I'm a little bit, you know, if you can't handle me at my whatever, you know, blah, blah, blah.

01:06:38.000 You know the meme.

01:06:38.000 You know the rest.

01:06:39.000 It's 8 15.

01:06:40.000 We're getting a little lazy, all right?

01:06:43.000 But everybody comes around eventually. 0.96

01:06:44.000 They may say, oh, that guy's just some arrogant, skinny, extremely handsome.

01:06:51.000 With great eyes, young guy, and a great jawline and massive hands. 0.93

01:06:57.000 But that guy, he's got a big head and he's like a physically large head. 0.97

01:07:02.000 And he's arrogant and he's annoying. 0.98

01:07:04.000 And he's mean to the people I like. 0.99

01:07:06.000 And he's a child.

01:07:08.000 He's so juvenile. 1.00

01:07:09.000 He just calls people dumb and gay and tells them to shut up. 1.00

01:07:12.000 But they all come around eventually. 1.00

01:07:14.000 They all come around to see that I was right all along.

01:07:16.000 And when that happens, we'll welcome them back. 1.00

01:07:19.000 Tony says this hate hoax was probably just a grinder hookup gone wrong. 1.00

01:07:23.000 So true. 1.00

01:07:25.000 My guess is it was either a black guy attacking him and he just made up the MAGA thing. 1.00

01:07:25.000 So true. 1.00

01:07:31.000 My guess is it was probably he just got beat up by a couple of black people. 0.98

01:07:35.000 Because that's been happening all throughout Chicago. 0.97

01:07:38.000 People stealing coats and whatever.

01:07:41.000 Or, yeah, it's probably some role play thing. 0.82

01:07:45.000 Israel Respector says I wonder how you reconcile American identity founded through arguably the first liberal revolution, Protestantism, materialist capitalism based on an immigrant settler culture formed through creative destruction with your beliefs. 0.67

01:07:58.000 You wonder. 0.81

01:07:59.000 Well, you know, if you really were wondering that, you would watch my show because I've addressed this about a thousand times.

01:08:04.000 You think you're the first one?

01:08:06.000 I love when people.

01:08:07.000 I finally cracked the code.

01:08:09.000 Nick is a reactionary, Catholic, authoritarian, and he loves America.

01:08:16.000 But doesn't he know that America is actually a liberal, Protestant, blah, blah, blah? 0.93

01:08:20.000 I've done it.

01:08:21.000 I've defeated him.

01:08:23.000 I think I've finally forced him into a corner here.

01:08:26.000 I've addressed this about a million times.

01:08:28.000 I love America.

01:08:30.000 Because America is my country.

01:08:31.000 I was born in America.

01:08:32.000 You have to love your home. 1.00

01:08:34.000 How retarded would you have to be? 1.00

01:08:36.000 How Greek, and I say that in the sense of being overly intellectual, do you have to be to think that you value your abstract conception of the society over your home, over where you grew up, your parents, everything that you knew as a child? 1.00

01:08:53.000 Imagine being such a sick, antisocial, alienated person that you would read a couple of books and say, Oh, I hate my country. 0.94

01:09:01.000 I hate where I live. 0.97

01:09:03.000 I wish my child was more like this, like the 15th century Italy. 1.00

01:09:07.000 Give me a break. 0.99

01:09:08.000 America is what I know.

01:09:09.000 America is what I love.

01:09:10.000 It's what I grew up in.

01:09:11.000 And are there serious systematic problems with America?

01:09:16.000 100%.

01:09:18.000 We're going to change that.

01:09:19.000 But, you know, we do have to love where we come from.

01:09:22.000 We do have to love where we are.

01:09:24.000 I mean, there are profound evils happening, no doubt about it.

01:09:27.000 But it's my home.

01:09:28.000 It's my home.

01:09:30.000 You know, you look at an individual, you know, I mean, not every individual is perfect.

01:09:30.000 And that's what we love.

01:09:36.000 You know, you've got people.

01:09:37.000 Should people that are like 5'5 and they've got, I don't know, like a weird shaped head, no chin or something, you know, they've got some weird deformity going on, should they hate themselves?

01:09:49.000 Should they say, oh, I'm just going to kill myself because I'm not like the ideal? 0.93

01:09:53.000 You have to love who you are, what you are, where you're from, and you try and change things for the better, but that fundamental affection, that oikophilia, does not leave you. 0.93

01:10:02.000 So that's my answer reconcile American identity. 0.95

01:10:05.000 Well, I'm an American.

01:10:06.000 What other identity could I have?

01:10:08.000 And moreover, we have to recognize not only.

01:10:11.000 That deeper sense, but also political pragmatism.

01:10:14.000 How do you reconcile American identity with your objectives?

01:10:17.000 Well, Americans identify with America.

01:10:19.000 I mean, if you want to achieve anything in the country, what are you going to go around doing?

01:10:23.000 You know, learn a different language, start worshiping paganism, and, you know, raise up some foreign banner.

01:10:29.000 Hello, hello, citizen.

01:10:32.000 I am a Awe, true to Kaiser.

01:10:35.000 I am a Roman legionary, and I want you to join my struggle.

01:10:38.000 You know, people in America are going to be like, what is this guy doing?

01:10:42.000 This is what happened with the alt right. 1.00

01:10:43.000 Bunch of faggots, bunch of weird losers. 1.00

01:10:45.000 So, there's a practical consideration. 1.00

01:10:47.000 There's, I think, a deeper human consideration there.

01:10:50.000 And anyway, America was founded on largely Thomistic principles.

01:10:55.000 You know, you look at natural rights doctrine, you look at some of the things with how the government was structured.

01:10:59.000 I don't think it was perfectly ideal, but a lot of we can't be choosers about history in the sense that things have a funny way of working themselves out.

01:11:11.000 People who say, oh, that was a mistake, I know it should have been designed a different way. 0.95

01:11:16.000 It's a very foolish mentality.

01:11:18.000 I'm a little bit of a determinist in the sense that history has a sort of momentum, and there are circumstances that are beyond the control of designers or individual actors. 0.95

01:11:27.000 Sort of, we obey a will of maybe it's impersonal forces or it's God, but that's how things go.

01:11:34.000 So to say, oh, I hate my country, whatever, it's just sick.

01:11:37.000 It's wrong.

01:11:38.000 It says a lot about how broken people are on the inside.

01:11:41.000 It says a lot more about people who hate their own country, about themselves, than about the country.

01:11:46.000 Dean The Wop says, hey, big guy, where were you at 2 a.m. on Tuesday?

01:11:52.000 I was playing Fortnite, I guess.

01:11:54.000 Young Nicker says, What do you think of the leftist saying regarding the fate of humanity?

01:11:59.000 It's socialism or barbarism?

01:12:01.000 It's just wrong.

01:12:02.000 Socialism is barbarism in many cases.

01:12:04.000 Was the socialism of the Soviet Union not barbarism? 0.58

01:12:07.000 Where the abortion rate was out of control, where there was mass killing, mass starvation? 0.88

01:12:13.000 That was socialism, was it not?

01:12:14.000 I mean, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

01:12:18.000 It's in the name, right?

01:12:20.000 Was it the Russian Federated Soviet?

01:12:23.000 I forget the.

01:12:23.000 It was the RSFSR, I think?

01:12:26.000 Yeah, something like that was the constituent country of the Soviet Union. 0.94

01:12:31.000 So, yeah, I think that's ridiculous. 0.63

01:12:33.000 Clearly, everywhere we see socialism, we see barbarism. 0.99

01:12:36.000 Venezuela, you know, I know that's tried and a little bit trite and tired, but you've got people eating rats and dogs and cats.

01:12:44.000 Is that barbarism, you know? 0.98

01:12:46.000 So I think that's a little bit silly.

01:12:48.000 Socialism is managerialism, which is different than, you know, monarchy or something. 0.98

01:12:53.000 Goofball says, watching sports is gay. 1.00

01:12:56.000 I don't know if I agree with that. 0.63

01:12:57.000 I'm not really against sports.

01:12:59.000 Sports just isn't for me.

01:13:02.000 I would never watch it.

01:13:03.000 I think it's boring.

01:13:04.000 I don't get the appeal of watching, like, You know, commercials and then people like running up and down the field.

01:13:10.000 Oh, he's, you know, blah, The white noise of the game and they do a play and then, oh, this guy running down the field, you know, and then you got the coach and then you got the ref, whatever.

01:13:23.000 It's like, I can't, there's not enough substance there for me.

01:13:25.000 My brain just is too fast.

01:13:28.000 It's too fast.

01:13:29.000 It's too quick.

01:13:30.000 There's too much going on to be stimulated by just all this inanity.

01:13:33.000 Just all this, it's like visual white noise.

01:13:36.000 How do you watch that?

01:13:38.000 I don't know, but I'm not going to.

01:13:40.000 People like what they like.

01:13:41.000 Okay, Reed Tart says, What's your official position on fans reposting clips of America first?

01:13:45.000 I discovered you through a clip of you talking to Yusuf with 175,000 views.

01:13:50.000 For now, I'm going to tolerate it because the goal is exposure, but eventually that'll have to change.

01:13:56.000 But for now, I'm fine with it.

01:13:58.000 I says, Can we restore America without political violence?

01:14:01.000 My favorite question.

01:14:04.000 FBI sidling up next to me to say, Hey, kid, what do you think about political violence?

01:14:12.000 There's no motive behind that.

01:14:14.000 Goofball says, God's light shines upon you so brightly, it pierces the most dull mind.

01:14:19.000 That's so true. 0.95

01:14:19.000 So true. 0.95

01:14:20.000 Thank you.

01:14:21.000 West Ward says, You say the.

01:14:25.000 West Ward.

01:14:26.000 And on.

01:14:27.000 Says, You say the caramel Harris, bad for the Democratic Party, is in the far left taking over the Dem Party.

01:14:33.000 But isn't that what Trump did for us within the GOP?

01:14:36.000 I feel that the far right or far left will garnish more votes than a Hillary or Jeb.

01:14:41.000 More than a Hillary, definitely.

01:14:43.000 But.

01:14:44.000 You got to understand that a lot of middle of the road people are not willing to go along with the far left.

01:14:51.000 Trump consolidated the right far more effectively than a Democrat is capable of doing.

01:14:55.000 Trump is truly, I think, one of a kind.

01:14:58.000 I don't see Kamala Harris as having that same star quality to unify the entire Democratic Party behind this far left agenda.

01:15:07.000 I don't see anybody on the left who can do that.

01:15:09.000 I don't see a constituency that's ready for that.

01:15:11.000 You know, because Trump is speaking to the Republican Party, which has been beaten.

01:15:16.000 For like 30 years, by their own party, by the left, that wants to win, and he has great political tact.

01:15:22.000 There's a lot of things going on there that make Trump sort of unique.

01:15:25.000 So I don't buy it that the far left will unify the left wing of the country in the way that the right was able to do.

01:15:32.000 Because Trump really is relatively moderate.

01:15:35.000 He's right of the establishment, and I guess he would maybe be the right of the Republican Party, but he's not as radical as the fringe of the left, which is trying to take over, if that makes sense.

01:15:48.000 Let's see, we've got some super chats now.

01:15:51.000 Captain Brapp says, I like you, Nick, but your short legs are.

01:15:54.000 I don't have short legs.

01:15:55.000 That's a fake picture.

01:15:56.000 People posting this edited picture of me from the Boston Globe, I think initially, where I'm like setting up my green screen, I'm standing on a chair, and people edited the photo to make it look like there's three chairs.

01:16:09.000 It's obviously fake, but people reposted.

01:16:11.000 They're like, Is Nick really like 5'5? 0.89

01:16:15.000 That's the thing about being even like a little bit famous is all these gay psyops that are obviously fake, where people are like, Oh, Well, look at this picture. 0.87

01:16:22.000 That's obviously, Dick must be, he's actually, do you know he's 5'3? 0.90

01:16:27.000 Really?

01:16:27.000 You know, people edit my 23andMe results.

01:16:29.000 He edited out his Jewish DNA. 0.68

01:16:31.000 I showed it on stream from the website. 0.93

01:16:34.000 You got people that are like, he had a Catboy server on his Discord.

01:16:38.000 You know, maybe that, whatever.

01:16:40.000 Whatever!

01:16:41.000 It wasn't me.

01:16:42.000 I was hacked, all right, but you get the picture. 1.00

01:16:43.000 A lot of gay psyops. 1.00

01:16:45.000 Simon Skola says, Why did you attack that gay black man? 1.00

01:16:48.000 Bad optics. 0.99

01:16:49.000 It wasn't me, I swear.

01:16:51.000 I was eating a Big Mac.

01:16:53.000 Garrett says, Not completely sure if I'll be able to pay for CPAC this year, to be honest.

01:16:56.000 Any other way the Knickers will be able to meet up in 2019?

01:16:59.000 I don't know.

01:17:00.000 The goal was never a meetup.

01:17:01.000 I just said, I'm going to.

01:17:02.000 Go to CPAC.

01:17:03.000 If you're there, I'll meet you.

01:17:04.000 But I don't really want to do a meetup this year.

01:17:07.000 We'll see.

01:17:07.000 Maybe.

01:17:09.000 Lord Akira says, Nick, I'm strained behind the lines here in California.

01:17:13.000 What's your take on what the GOP should be doing to get traction back in the state for 2020?

01:17:19.000 Dude, it's not going to happen in California.

01:17:21.000 Not forever.

01:17:22.000 What do you mean getting traction in California for 2020?

01:17:26.000 There's no traction there.

01:17:27.000 We're totally outgunned.

01:17:29.000 Forrest Taylor says, Good evening, everyone.

01:17:30.000 You're watching America Worst.

01:17:32.000 My name is Frank J. Furter.

01:17:33.000 We've got a banger.

01:17:35.000 Of a sausage for you tonight.

01:17:36.000 Yeah, that's great.

01:17:38.000 Cloudstar says, I agree with the concept of single payer to eliminate paying for the middleman, but no way in hell do I trust the government to implement that.

01:17:44.000 Exactly.

01:17:46.000 30 year old boomer says, find a newer pick for your America First pre show banner.

01:17:50.000 You look like a lolly.

01:17:52.000 No, it's fine. 0.98

01:17:53.000 Ambassador says, thank you for saving the Zoomer from market worshipping libertarianism. 0.98

01:17:58.000 Hey, you're welcome.

01:17:59.000 Thanks for coming aboard, my Zoomer brother.

01:18:02.000 David says, great show, Nick.

01:18:04.000 Keep exposing the fake news media with Revelation 3 9 and fake hate crimes with the FBI Table 43A.

01:18:09.000 Just want to say that Streamlabs wasn't working.

01:18:11.000 Could be something on my end now.

01:18:13.000 Yeah, it must be because it's been working for everybody else.

01:18:17.000 DeVore says, Hey, Nick, I started playing World of Warcraft and I noticed that goblins are 5% of the horde population but are 90% of all bankers.

01:18:26.000 Is that weird?

01:18:27.000 No, they must just be high IQ.

01:18:29.000 Base Gods has had a conversation with Owen. 0.99

01:18:31.000 If anyone would be willing to talk to a racist like you, it's him.

01:18:34.000 You need to start building the network, big guy. 0.84

01:18:36.000 I love when people, you need to do this.

01:18:38.000 You ought to do that.

01:18:39.000 Oh, God.

01:18:40.000 Wow, thanks.

01:18:41.000 I really had never thought of that before.

01:18:44.000 It's like the people, Nick, you've got to have Tucker Carlson on your show.

01:18:46.000 You've got to start building a network.

01:18:48.000 Oh, I do?

01:18:49.000 Oh, I will.

01:18:50.000 Let me do that.

01:18:51.000 Well, where's my phone?

01:18:54.000 I didn't think of that.

01:18:54.000 Yeah.

01:18:56.000 Let me just.

01:18:57.000 Yeah.

01:18:58.000 Hey, Tucker, want to come on my show, America First?

01:19:01.000 Yeah, I was at Charlottesville.

01:19:02.000 I was at Unite the Right.

01:19:04.000 I was in American Renaissance.

01:19:05.000 Want to come on America First?

01:19:07.000 No, there have been many, many people who reached out to Owen Benjamin, and he just doesn't.

01:19:12.000 He's not biting.

01:19:13.000 And there's only so much you could do.

01:19:15.000 I don't know.

01:19:16.000 It doesn't really get through people's head.

01:19:17.000 They just, I'm just not doing enough.

01:19:19.000 I'm just not, I'm just not trying.

01:19:21.000 You got to start building.

01:19:22.000 Oh, really?

01:19:24.000 Dude, thanks.

01:19:24.000 Thanks for telling me that.

01:19:26.000 I get a little triggered by that because I don't know.

01:19:28.000 Do people, I complain about this every day, how I'm totally isolated by these people.

01:19:33.000 They deliberately ignore me.

01:19:35.000 I try to reach out.

01:19:37.000 People like Bill Mitchell, people across the board.

01:19:40.000 And, oh, you got to reach out.

01:19:41.000 Oh, really?

01:19:42.000 Thanks.

01:19:42.000 Thanks, dude.

01:19:43.000 Heli Ride for you says, since you already BTFO'd RC, What would you debate him on next?

01:19:48.000 I don't know.

01:19:49.000 I don't think there's really a debate to be had, really.

01:19:52.000 I don't know what you mean by the next debate. 1.00

01:19:54.000 Hyman says it's MAGA country faggot. 1.00

01:19:56.000 So true. 1.00

01:19:58.000 So true.

01:19:59.000 That didn't happen, but I don't disagree with that sentiment.

01:20:03.000 Not that I'm in favor of hate crimes.

01:20:05.000 I hate hate crimes.

01:20:06.000 I want to commit hate crimes against hate crimes and haters in general. 0.99

01:20:10.000 But in a colloquial sense, the message is it is MAGA country faggot, and you're going to have to sort of be used to that. 0.99

01:20:18.000 Singaporean says, Is cultural Marxism a real thing? 0.99

01:20:21.000 Yeah, it is, but it can't be blamed for the things normies blame it for.

01:20:25.000 So it's real, but it's not like there's more to it, and it's also doesn't really fit the whole thing, it doesn't explain away everything.

01:20:32.000 Very weak explanatory power.

01:20:34.000 But I think that's our last stream lapse.

01:20:36.000 I think we're going to call it before I get.

01:20:37.000 I'm just kind of going a little bit crazy with some of these super chats.

01:20:41.000 You guys really know how to push my buttons, I'll give you credit for that.

01:20:45.000 But that's going to do it for us on the show tonight.
