America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - The Real Intellectual Dark Web | America First Ep. 98

00:00:04.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:05.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:07.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:08.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:11.000 Big night tonight.

00:00:12.000 Lots of news to get into, of course.

00:00:14.000 We have reaction from the State of the Union address, according to multiple polls.

00:00:19.000 We'll be talking about that.

00:00:21.000 Of course, the memo, which is slated to be released later this week.

00:00:25.000 It looks like the FBI and the DOJ are not too happy about its release, and with the president, who was promised to sign it yesterday, and the chief of staff also has promised to release it.

00:00:36.000 And then, of course, we have new text messages, new reveals from the Peter Sturzok and Lisa Page scandal.

00:00:42.000 And we'll get into that, but lots to get into tonight.

00:00:45.000 Big show planned.

00:00:46.000 I know last night we were at the later time slot.

00:00:49.000 We've been kind of all over the place this week.

00:00:51.000 Monday we were a little bit late because of the technical difficulties and things.

00:00:56.000 And, of course, yesterday we had the State of the Union, so we were up a little bit late.

00:01:00.000 We are back at our regular time here tonight of 7 p.m. Central here with just a regular episode.

00:01:05.000 Regular episode.

00:01:06.000 We're back to basics here.

00:01:09.000 Trying to achieve some normalcy, but a big show nonetheless.

00:01:12.000 I got to tell you, I got to tell you, I've been noticing something that's been going on.

00:01:16.000 And maybe it's been going on for a long time.

00:01:18.000 Maybe I've just been noticing this.

00:01:19.000 But I saw this the other day, and this really just cracked me up.

00:01:23.000 I have to share it with you. 0.82

00:01:25.000 Dave Rubin, who you might know him, he does the Rubin Report on YouTube, which is this show where he brings on people like Ben Shapiro, he brings on Jordan Peterson, these internet intellectuals, most often Jewish.

00:01:40.000 But he'll have people that are liberals, people that are conservatives.

00:01:43.000 Miley Yiannopoulos got his start really on the Ruben Report.

00:01:46.000 Ben Shapiro really blew up on the Ruben Report.

00:01:49.000 And he's been doing this show independently for a while now.

00:01:52.000 He used to do it as part of a bigger network, but now he just does it by himself. 0.98

00:01:57.000 And so he is a homosexual. 1.00

00:01:59.000 He's Jewish. 0.99

00:01:59.000 And he says he's a liberal. 0.99

00:02:00.000 He says he's the quote unquote last liberal.

00:02:03.000 He says that unlike the leftists, unlike the progressive left, or as he likes to call them, very tongue in cheek, the regressive left, unlike them, He is a real classical liberal in the sense of John Stuart Mill, John Locke, the Enlightenment thinkers.

00:02:20.000 He's a liberalist, like Sargon of Akkad would say.

00:02:24.000 And so earlier this week, Dave Rubin released a video about, quote, the intellectual dark web.

00:02:31.000 And I had to laugh at this.

00:02:32.000 The premise of the video was that there is this eclectic group of intellectuals, this dissident, clandestine, eclectic group of intellectuals, such as.

00:02:47.000 Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson, who constitute what people are calling the intellectual dark web, where unlike the pundits on television, unlike the pundits on Fox News or the mainstream media, these people are the most influential.

00:03:03.000 They're kind of a parallel institution, this black market for ideas, a dark web, he says.

00:03:10.000 And it is up to them to discuss the controversial and oftentimes dangerous ideas in the intellectual dark web.

00:03:17.000 And I'm watching this video and I just have to laugh out loud.

00:03:21.000 The thought, the idea that Ben Shapiro, the number one conservative podcast in the country, regular appearances on Fox News and CNN, Jewish, all he talks about is Israel, all he talks about is this and that.

00:03:37.000 He's a neocon shill, neoliberal shill.

00:03:40.000 The New York Times writes glowing articles about Ben Shapiro, calling him a gladiator.

00:03:45.000 He writes for National Review, for God's sakes, that he is part of the intellectual dark web.

00:03:50.000 And then Jordan Peterson, another one.

00:03:52.000 The New York Times writes shining articles about him.

00:03:54.000 He's all over.

00:03:55.000 Even the mainstream media gives him a fair hearing.

00:03:57.000 He's on mainstream television all the time.

00:04:00.000 And I had to laugh at that.

00:04:02.000 And then, of course, this evening, earlier this evening, and this is the, here's to get to the point, to arrive at the point, here's the contrast.

00:04:09.000 This evening, Dave Rubin has a conversation, as he calls it, between Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.

00:04:15.000 And this was hyped.

00:04:17.000 This was major hype because these are very popular people at the moment.

00:04:21.000 Ben Shapiro, very popular among conservatives.

00:04:23.000 Jordan Peterson, very popular among, I just, I guess, broadly young people in general.

00:04:29.000 And so he has these two guys on, and they're having this conversation about free speech.

00:04:33.000 And it's this self congratulatory circle jerk look at how enlightened we are.

00:04:37.000 Look, we were not afraid to discuss the dangerous ideas, which is not entirely true.

00:04:42.000 And so that's happening at one time.

00:04:44.000 You have this stream with Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, and all of them combined will not address topics like race realism, will not address topics like the influence of rootless transnational elites, they won't discuss populism and globalism.

00:04:59.000 There are a lot of things that are off the table for these.

00:05:01.000 People.

00:05:01.000 They won't, you know, Dave Rubin, for example, won't bring on people from the alt right.

00:05:05.000 And I don't consider myself alt right, but he won't bring on somebody like Jared Taylor, for example, won't bring on somebody like Vox Day or Richard Spencer or Ramsey Paul, you know, even people that were considered more alt right orbiters than actually in the inner circle.

00:05:19.000 And you contrast this with Andy Worski, who at the same time tonight, while Dave Rubin is having in this very, very big, colorful Jewish set, on the other hand, you have the Andy Worski stream where he has Jared Taylor on.

00:05:32.000 And JF, and they're talking about racial differences in IQ. 0.55

00:05:36.000 They're talking about race realism.

00:05:38.000 And I just think this is a beautiful contrast of what is actually going on and then what is kind of the fake, what is the phony thing that's going on.

00:05:47.000 In the sense that if you want to look at the quote, intellectual dark web, it's happening on Andy Worski.

00:05:52.000 It's happening with Jared Taylor.

00:05:54.000 It's happening with JF and Andy Worski.

00:05:56.000 I don't know how often they do it every other night.

00:05:59.000 And just for the fun of it, it's not happening in a big, glossy set.

00:06:03.000 There's not these big, Obnoxious, loud furniture pieces.

00:06:07.000 It's not, they don't have a cool intro.

00:06:09.000 They don't have a cool, glossy animation.

00:06:12.000 They don't have like a sexy theme music.

00:06:15.000 It's just Andy Worski jumps on, just a guy with the microphone and, you know, with the back wall going on, on Google Hangouts, and they just throw it out there and they just say what they're thinking, and it's no holds barred.

00:06:27.000 It's not edited.

00:06:28.000 It's live, and they're taking super chats, and that's the intellectual dark web, if anything.

00:06:33.000 So I just thought that was very interesting because I'm getting ready for my show and While I'm looking through Twitter, seeing what's going on in the news, I see these two things.

00:06:41.000 I see the Jared Taylor stream, and then I see the Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson stream.

00:06:46.000 And I just think to myself, this one is talking about free speech.

00:06:49.000 This one is exercising free speech.

00:06:52.000 Big difference.

00:06:53.000 This one's going to go on and say, oh, wow, aren't we so free speech?

00:06:56.000 Don't we have so much free speech?

00:06:57.000 Isn't this so liberal and good?

00:06:59.000 And we're so edgy and controversial and everything else.

00:07:02.000 And then on this stream, they're actually practicing it.

00:07:04.000 On this stream, they're walking the walk and they're doing it.

00:07:06.000 But anyway, I know that's kind of a detour.

00:07:08.000 That's not really news.

00:07:10.000 But I think it is indicative.

00:07:12.000 It's illustrative of where we're at with the free speech issue.

00:07:16.000 And we talked about this last week with Paul Nealon.

00:07:20.000 It really gets to the core of are you for free speech in itself?

00:07:24.000 Are you for free speech for the sake of itself?

00:07:26.000 Or are you for it and exercising it and expressing it and pushing its boundaries?

00:07:31.000 That's what's important.

00:07:32.000 And that's what people like myself, people like Jira Taylor, people like Paul Nealon, and others are doing every day.

00:07:37.000 So interesting stuff there.

00:07:40.000 We have to talk about the reaction to the State of the Union.

00:07:43.000 Last night, I gave my live analysis of the State of the Union.

00:07:46.000 Pretty good speech.

00:07:47.000 I gave it an A. You know, my overall feel for it, my overall premise was that it was a positive speech.

00:07:54.000 It was a bipartisan speech, unifying speech, one that was supremely effective in achieving what it set out to do, which was to frame the Democrats, to frame the midterms, and in the short term, to frame the DACA negotiations, which have been going on since last Monday.

00:08:11.000 I believe it was last Monday, right?

00:08:13.000 Yes, last Monday, or no, no, this Monday, and going on until February 8th.

00:08:18.000 No, no, it was last Monday.

00:08:19.000 Sorry about that.

00:08:20.000 Yeah, last Monday and going on until February 8th.

00:08:23.000 And I said that he did that very successfully in the way that he rolled out his four pillars for immigration reform and the kind of rhetoric he used.

00:08:30.000 There was also a report, and I thought this was interesting.

00:08:33.000 This is something that I picked up on as well, but the numbers weren't available last night.

00:08:37.000 If you compare this State of the Union to Barack Obama's first State of the Union, the amount of times that Donald Trump used personal pronouns in the sense that he referenced himself by saying I, me, or mine, or something like that, he did that.

00:08:52.000 Four times less.

00:08:53.000 He did that 25%, the rate at which Barack Obama did it.

00:08:56.000 So Barack Obama referred to himself, I did this, I did that, I'm responsible for this, my this, my that, four times more than Donald Trump, which I think, again, speaks to these very deliberate, very particular rhetorical choices that the president is making.

00:09:13.000 And, you know, people watched that speech and they might have thought it was boring.

00:09:17.000 They might have thought it was, it's not the usual bluster.

00:09:20.000 Sometimes people say that he's not very controlled, but that's a very, That's a very significant and not a trivial detail that Donald Trump, instead of saying I, me, mine, was saying we, we, our movement, what we're going to do as Americans.

00:09:35.000 That's a very important rhetorical choice, a very important difference between the two presidents.

00:09:40.000 It's just something that was reported earlier this morning.

00:09:43.000 But we have polling.

00:09:44.000 We have polling on the speech.

00:09:47.000 And so we can kind of put it to the test.

00:09:49.000 And I tweeted the other day, a little bit braggadociously, that my prediction last night basically was proven true in real time, in the sense that my prediction last night.

00:09:58.000 Was that the speech would be well received.

00:10:00.000 People who were watching it would have this particular kind of reaction.

00:10:03.000 They would say, he's trying to unify.

00:10:06.000 He's trying to reach out an open hand.

00:10:08.000 What he's doing is generally something that everybody could rally around.

00:10:11.000 And the numbers reflected this.

00:10:14.000 The numbers really vindicated that prediction.

00:10:16.000 There's a poll from CBS and YouGov which said that the speech had 97% Republican approval, which is a very important thing.

00:10:26.000 When you consider that what he said about immigration might have been a little bit dubious.

00:10:31.000 Particularly about the 1.8 million people getting a pathway to citizenship.

00:10:36.000 I think the 97% Republican approval figure just kind of goes to show that the base understands what he's doing.

00:10:42.000 Or if they don't understand, at the very least, he has maneuverability to do what he has to do.

00:10:47.000 So, very solid support among the base, near 100%, which is, of course, a very good thing.

00:10:53.000 43% Democrat approval.

00:10:55.000 That's kind of surprising to think that almost half of Democrats like this speech.

00:11:00.000 That's not a glowing number.

00:11:01.000 That's not an incredible number.

00:11:03.000 There's absolutely room for improvement.

00:11:05.000 But if you consider the context of that figure, that 43% of Democrats like the speech, in the context of the fact that you looked at the 2016 election and by party affiliation, Democrats did not go for Trump very strongly at all, not even in comparison with previous years.

00:11:22.000 If you look at how the media has berated him, how Hollywood, all these typical Democrat left wing institutions have gone after Donald Trump and basically made it so that he is.

00:11:33.000 Radioactive, unlike any other president.

00:11:36.000 Even Reagan, Democrats could have rallied around him.

00:11:39.000 And of course, Ronald Reagan won almost all 50 states in 1984.

00:11:44.000 So Democrats were wild about him.

00:11:45.000 But you consider the context here, and that's a pretty strong number.

00:11:49.000 And then here's the big one.

00:11:50.000 Here's the one that really is the head turner.

00:11:52.000 Here's really the kill shot here 72% approval among independents.

00:11:57.000 72%.

00:11:59.000 So he's got almost half of Democrats.

00:12:01.000 He's got all of Republicans and three quarters of independents.

00:12:04.000 That's a very strong showing.

00:12:06.000 And it's a very strong showing considering that, again, we're moving into these DACA negotiations and we're moving into the midterms.

00:12:12.000 So if you have 100% Republican approval rating, what that means is that.

00:12:17.000 They're going to turn out for him.

00:12:18.000 If Republicans liked the speech, if they were enthusiastic about the speech, they were watching it, that means that the energy is still there.

00:12:25.000 The Republican base is still there.

00:12:27.000 They still believe in this guy, and they'll be there to turn out in 2018.

00:12:31.000 And that's kind of a rebuke.

00:12:33.000 I think this is one sign of a rebuke of the results of the Alabama special Senate election in the sense that in that election, turnout was down by 600,000 votes in an election that was decided by 10,000 votes.

00:12:46.000 And I think this is.

00:12:48.000 This number here is a testament to the fact, in some way.

00:12:51.000 I think this starts to build the case.

00:12:52.000 It begins to build the case that that might have been a special scenario.

00:12:57.000 And that if you look at this, that the nearly 100% approved of the speech, that we're probably in a good position for the midterms with our base.

00:13:05.000 So that's number one is that Republicans will be there to turn out of the midterms.

00:13:08.000 Number two is that the Democrats will not be there in the same numbers.

00:13:12.000 If 43% of Democrats, if almost half of Democrats say they approve of the speech, people that approve of the speech, You know, they're not going to be out there in the midterms.

00:13:21.000 They're not going to be out there with the same energy, with the same righteous indignation that the left requires, essentially requires, to be out there in these contested elections in 2018.

00:13:32.000 In 2017, for the Alabama special Senate election, you had the advantage of concentration.

00:13:39.000 You had the advantage of scandal in the sense that the Democrats could focus all of their energy.

00:13:43.000 They could focus like a laser beam on Alabama, all the discontent, all the indignation at this one election.

00:13:51.000 This one night in this one state over this one guy and this pretty terrible scandal, and they could pull it off.

00:13:57.000 I don't think you'll see the same kind of turnout with these kinds of numbers if Democrats are approving of Donald Trump in that strong of a measure.

00:14:05.000 But probably the most important number there is the 72% independent approval rating.

00:14:09.000 I think that is probably the harshest rebuke of some of the trends we've been seeing in polling for the past year.

00:14:16.000 This idea that President Trump has had record low polling and all of this.

00:14:20.000 This is the kind of stuff, these are the kinds of numbers that really give you an idea when it's fair.

00:14:25.000 And when it's not biased, when we're not talking about questions that may be a little bit silly or a little bit leading questions, or they can't mess with the sample size of the polling, and also the message isn't obfuscated by the media.

00:14:39.000 When independents sit down and they watch President Trump's speech, when they sit down and they just see him talking to the American people, three quarters of them are for the president.

00:14:48.000 They approve of it.

00:14:49.000 So that's a very solid number for the midterms and for DACA as well.

00:14:54.000 The State of the Union, this is according to the same poll, made 65%.

00:14:59.000 Of viewers feel prouder of their country.

00:15:02.000 35% feel safer in their country.

00:15:05.000 It made 14% of people feel scared and 21% angry.

00:15:10.000 Overall, 75% of people approved, 25% disapproved.

00:15:14.000 And overall, this is a very solid win for the president.

00:15:17.000 And we talked about this last night, but today we have the data to prove it.

00:15:20.000 Today we have the hard and concrete figures to say, without a doubt, that this was a solid victory.

00:15:25.000 I think beyond even how successful the State of the Union went, What made this an unequivocal victory is how poorly the Democrat response to the State of the Union was.

00:15:36.000 I mean, what the hell was that?

00:15:40.000 Yeah, Joe Kennedy, who got up there, and I don't know what was going on there, folks, but if you saw it, and at first I turned it on and I'm thinking, what's going on?

00:15:50.000 I go over to Twitter and it's all over the place.

00:15:52.000 It's on Twitter moments, everybody's talking about it.

00:15:56.000 For whatever reason, and I don't know if everybody who's watching this has seen it yet, but for some reason, the corner of his mouth was shiny throughout the speech.

00:16:06.000 And so people were speculating, was this saliva?

00:16:09.000 Was he drooling during the speech?

00:16:12.000 Was his mouth wet?

00:16:13.000 Is that why it was reflective and shiny?

00:16:15.000 Because he was drooling while giving the speech?

00:16:18.000 Or was it because he was overzealous in applying his chapstick?

00:16:23.000 He didn't want to get his lips dried out, so he maybe smeared the chapstick?

00:16:27.000 I think that's probably the likely scenario because, you know, that wouldn't go away because it's a little bit more viscous, because it's a little bit thicker.

00:16:36.000 If you're talking about chapstick and you apply it the wrong way, it would kind of stick.

00:16:40.000 It would kind of have this like gel effect.

00:16:43.000 So, maybe that's what it is.

00:16:44.000 Look, it doesn't matter what it is.

00:16:46.000 But he gets up, and not only do you have this, not only do you have, he looks like this drooling baby.

00:16:50.000 It's impossible to listen to anything that's coming out of his mouth because this is so loud.

00:16:56.000 But on top of that, he gets up and he's in front of like a Mustang.

00:17:00.000 He's in front of what appears to be some kind of an auto shop, which is supposed to present, I guess, to the blue collar workers, to the union workers.

00:17:10.000 This is supposed to recapture kind of the white, blue collar effect.

00:17:15.000 That his family had.

00:17:16.000 This is supposed to be some kind of desperate last ditch appeal to the people that turned the election in Trump's favor in 2016, which were those Rust Belt states, which were those Midwestern states, states like Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.

00:17:31.000 And so you have the Kennedy name, you have the auto shop in the background, he's got the sleeves rolled up.

00:17:35.000 You know, he's one of us, you know.

00:17:38.000 But this entire premise, you understand, is flawed from the start.

00:17:42.000 They're trying very desperately to appeal to the blue collar and It comes across that way. 0.61

00:17:49.000 And that, in and of itself, makes it ineffective.

00:17:51.000 That they're trying so desperately just says to all the blue collar people, You're not serious. 0.82

00:17:57.000 We're trying to pander to you. 0.87

00:17:59.000 We think you're a joke.

00:18:00.000 This is what we think you are you're going to be won over by Joe Kennedy in an auto shop. 0.98

00:18:05.000 And this was the same with the response to the joint session last year, where he had this schmuck in, I don't know, some kind of a diner. 0.98

00:18:13.000 He was sitting, I think he was just sitting, I don't know if he was sitting with the back of the chair in front of him or maybe he was just like this. 0.97

00:18:20.000 But it was a very ridiculous showing last year. 0.61

00:18:22.000 And this year, you had, of course, Joe Kennedy. 0.76

00:18:24.000 And not only is the premise ridiculous because it's pandering and people can see right through it, but also you're talking about a guy from the most blue blood political dynasty, political royalty in the country from Boston, Massachusetts.

00:18:39.000 Give me a break.

00:18:40.000 You know, you expect some blue collar machinist in Pennsylvania who lost his job due to a trade deal and his house is underwater and dead and his car is underwater and dead.

00:18:51.000 He's underwater on his credit card debt and his kids are going to school and they can't pay for it.

00:18:55.000 You think he's going to be able to relate to political royalty from Boston, Massachusetts, who's never wanted for anything, you know, who gets to mosey on up there and tell everybody, hey, I'm one of you now.

00:19:08.000 I'm one of you.

00:19:09.000 I'm part of the team all along.

00:19:10.000 And so you had that.

00:19:11.000 Thematically, it was terrible.

00:19:14.000 And then, moreover, the optics.

00:19:16.000 My God, if anybody could use the optics speech, I thought Richard Spencer was terrible in this regard.

00:19:16.000 The optics.

00:19:22.000 Joe Kennedy shows up in a shirt that doesn't fit.

00:19:25.000 If you're going to go for the button down shirt look, at least, and this is a good look to pull off, by the way, if you have a nice tight shirt, you know, and it looks clean and crisp and you have a nice tie and it looks all put together, this can be an effective look.

00:19:39.000 This can be a good look, but it's oversized.

00:19:42.000 It doesn't look right.

00:19:43.000 The tie is a little bit off.

00:19:44.000 The tie knot was not very good, left a lot to be desired.

00:19:49.000 Moreover, you should have a suit jacket.

00:19:50.000 I don't, if you're a Kennedy, you should be wearing a suit jacket.

00:19:54.000 It just goes along with things that make sense.

00:19:56.000 We talked about this a little bit, I think, a couple of shows ago.

00:19:59.000 That Donald Trump was never caught without a suit during the election.

00:20:04.000 And that was to present this image as, I'm the businessman, I'm the billionaire, and also that he wasn't going to try to pander.

00:20:10.000 He wasn't going to pretend.

00:20:11.000 He was going to say, Look, this is who I am.

00:20:13.000 I'm the kind of guy who wears a suit every day because that's my profession.

00:20:16.000 And it was authentic and it was real.

00:20:18.000 And Joe Kennedy, he could have pulled off, I think, a blue collar thing if he didn't try so hard, if he showed up in a suit and said, You know what, I am a Kennedy, but I'm going to be your champion like Donald Trump is their champion.

00:20:30.000 But he didn't show up with a suit jacket.

00:20:31.000 He showed up.

00:20:32.000 The shirt was not fitting.

00:20:33.000 The hair was goofy and the saliva.

00:20:35.000 So you had that.

00:20:36.000 And then the speech, he had parts of it in Spanish.

00:20:38.000 He said, Black Lives Matter.

00:20:40.000 The rhetoric, it was all over the place.

00:20:42.000 It was so, it was trying so hard to be two things at once.

00:20:45.000 Like I said yesterday, it was these two polls, the far left base, and the pragmatic blue collar Democrat union vote that they need desperately this kind of independent, white, working class, moderate appeal that they need.

00:20:59.000 And it ripped the speech in half.

00:21:00.000 It ripped the party in half.

00:21:02.000 It ripped the speech in half.

00:21:03.000 In the sense that at once he tried to appeal to white working class people, and at the same time, he did this little bit where he's going to pretend that he can speak Spanish and he's going to say Black Lives Matter and all this other stuff.

00:21:14.000 And it just doesn't work.

00:21:15.000 It's not consistent.

00:21:16.000 So, on top of the fact that last night's speech was obviously rock solid, it was a huge hit.

00:21:22.000 The numbers here vindicate this.

00:21:24.000 The Democrats gave it away.

00:21:26.000 They gave it away before it even began. 1.00

00:21:28.000 They gave it away in such a stupid way. 1.00

00:21:32.000 You have to wonder what is going on in the Democratic. 1.00

00:21:35.000 Party that just these little faux pas, these little things are costing them so majorly.

00:21:41.000 Like, does nobody think, hey, wipe your mouth before you go out onto the stage? 1.00

00:21:47.000 You're going to look like an asshole. 1.00

00:21:49.000 You're going to make your party look like a joke in front of the whole country because you didn't wipe your mouth before the speech. 1.00

00:21:55.000 These are rookie mistakes and it's indicative of what's going on in the party.

00:22:00.000 These things don't just happen.

00:22:02.000 Maybe they happen from time to time.

00:22:04.000 There are slip ups.

00:22:06.000 But when there's a pattern of it, when there's this systemic pattern of just little things, no American flags at the DNC, you have Joe with the saliva, you have all these goofy things going on in the Democratic Party, things that are just indicative of people not caring, not putting in thought, it just goes to show that the morale is not there on the Democrat side, and that's what they need.

00:22:29.000 That's what they need in 2018.

00:22:30.000 So, admittedly, I was pretty worried after the Alabama special Senate election.

00:22:34.000 I said, you know, Even if this is a fluke, even if this is off, and I thought it was because I'm sure there was voter fraud there.

00:22:44.000 But even if that's the case, it still hands them a victory for morale.

00:22:47.000 They still come away with it thinking, we pulled off a blue win in Alabama, and that hasn't happened in 20 years.

00:22:54.000 And that's big.

00:22:55.000 And I thought that was going to really be a boost, that was going to be an injection straight into their veins of adrenaline, of morale.

00:23:03.000 And these kinds of things just go to show that it's not there.

00:23:06.000 They're not excited, they don't care about what they're doing.

00:23:09.000 So that was the State of the Union.

00:23:10.000 Enough about that.

00:23:11.000 We talked about the analysis last night, and it looks like that was vindicated what the overall effect of that will be moving forward.

00:23:18.000 It's also worth saying that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer have been very down on the speech, which indicates that the framework laid out by the president last night is probably not going to be passed in the Congress anytime soon.

00:23:33.000 I know a lot of people were worried about the $1.8 million getting amnesty, and it came out today that not only did Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer reject the speech and they They didn't like it, so it's safe to assume that they are still not okay with the framework.

00:23:47.000 But also, it came out of the White House that that's the final deal.

00:23:50.000 That there is no negotiating down from that.

00:23:52.000 That's not a starting point.

00:23:53.000 That was the final deal.

00:23:55.000 That was a take it or leave it deal.

00:23:57.000 And that was even said last week, but they reaffirmed it today.

00:24:00.000 And so that just goes to show probably no deal here.

00:24:02.000 DACA is as good as dead at the moment.

00:24:06.000 So that was the State of the Union.

00:24:07.000 The other major story we had here from today and from this week is the memo.

00:24:13.000 And this was basically overshadowed by the State of the Union address.

00:24:16.000 But the memo, of course, which was voted on to be released by the House Intel Committee on Monday, is getting a lot of pushback from the Department of Justice and the FBI.

00:24:25.000 And you got to wonder why that is.

00:24:27.000 You got to wonder why it is.

00:24:29.000 Hmm.

00:24:31.000 The memo that indicts the DOJ and the FBI is getting a lot of pushback from the DOJ and the FBI.

00:24:31.000 Hmm.

00:24:38.000 That's really peculiar, right?

00:24:40.000 It's like if the Warren Commission got a lot of pushback from the CIA, right?

00:24:44.000 You know, it's just a little bit curious.

00:24:46.000 You know, murderers don't like laws against murderers.

00:24:50.000 You know, so this came out today that the FBI director, Christopher Wray, expressed his quote, grave concerns, grave concerns about the memo, the four page memo, which details possible abuses at the hands of the FBI of the FISA warrant system, which may have led to targeting of political dissidents by Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

00:25:12.000 And so Christopher Wray said he expressed grave concerns.

00:25:15.000 He says that there are things in the memo.

00:25:18.000 Which are inaccurate, which are out of context, which are misunderstood.

00:25:23.000 And so he's very concerned about this.

00:25:24.000 He goes over to the White House today with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to make their overture to the White House and say, please, please don't release the memo.

00:25:33.000 And it looks like it's falling on deaf ears.

00:25:36.000 Chief of Staff John Kelly, who a lot of people are down on, but I said was probably a good pick, he said earlier this week that the memo would be released pretty quickly and that the whole world would see it.

00:25:46.000 President Trump was caught on a hot mic last night saying that it would be released 100%.

00:25:51.000 And so we will see what happens.

00:25:53.000 We talked about the significance of it earlier in the week and last week, and in late December, too, the impact that this information from the OIG report ultimately will have on the intelligence community and will have at politics at large.

00:26:08.000 And I think, again, it just goes to show.

00:26:12.000 And we talked about some of the signs of this earlier in the week and last week of why we might know this is serious.

00:26:17.000 But if you have the FBI, if you have McCabe stepping down earlier in the week, The night that the memo was voted to be released.

00:26:26.000 If you have Christopher Wray panicking, rushing to the White House to go and shut it down, you have the DOJ going to shut it down, and those are the two people named in the memo McCabe, Wray, Rod Rosenstein.

00:26:38.000 I think it gives us an insight into the gravity of what will be revealed.

00:26:42.000 And we'll see if it's all hype.

00:26:43.000 We'll see what the deal is here, but this could have very serious consequences.

00:26:48.000 And I think it tells us a lot about the way our government functions that the FBI is going against the White House.

00:26:55.000 Think of this.

00:26:56.000 Think of this.

00:26:58.000 We elect a civilian president.

00:27:00.000 We elect Donald Trump.

00:27:01.000 We elect representatives in the House.

00:27:04.000 And now, unfortunately, because of the 17th Amendment, we elect representatives in the Senate.

00:27:10.000 Well, so we elect everybody, and they are doing their duty.

00:27:13.000 Donald Trump picks a cabinet.

00:27:15.000 He elects an attorney general, or he appoints, rather, an attorney general.

00:27:18.000 He appoints his Justice Department.

00:27:21.000 And the Congress is going about their work and their oversight function in intelligence and other things.

00:27:26.000 And they start to find some of these abuses.

00:27:28.000 They start to find that these bureaucrats, these unelected people in the intelligence community, which have a lot of power, a lot more power than was ever intended by the Constitution, that they might have abused this.

00:27:38.000 And not only abused it, but might have abused it in one of the most Serious offenses in a democratic republic, which is to target a political opponent.

00:27:46.000 And so they start digging, they start looking into it, they begin to prepare this document at the behest of the inspector general with information from the inspector general, from the Justice Department.

00:27:57.000 And they put together this memo and they say, okay, we are going to release this to the public.

00:28:01.000 There's been a lot of rumors about what went on here, there's been a lot of confusion about what went on here, rumors about conspiracy, collusion, and fundamentally that is undermining the legitimacy of the government.

00:28:13.000 You know, and this is written about in Henry Kissinger's World Order.

00:28:16.000 This is written about by just about every major international relations scholar that a government is able to function because of two things power and legitimacy.

00:28:26.000 These are the two things that allow a government to exercise authority in a given geographic area over a given population.

00:28:32.000 It's number one that they have the power to do it, and number two that they have the legitimacy to do it.

00:28:38.000 So, for example, the United States has both of these things they have the power to enforce their laws.

00:28:43.000 They have the power to make probably all of the combined other institutions submit by way of physical military coercion.

00:28:51.000 And also, they're seen as legitimate.

00:28:53.000 People, when they're walking to work, when they're driving to work, when they're sitting in their homes, they understand that if the police gives them an order, well, they have basically an obligation to follow it.

00:29:02.000 If the government passes a law, they have an obligation to follow it.

00:29:06.000 There is a legitimacy to what the government is saying.

00:29:08.000 And so, these two things in concert are why the government is able to function, why the government has.

00:29:14.000 A sovereignty has sovereignty over the land and has authority over the people.

00:29:19.000 And so, when you have these abuses, when you have corruption and collusion, when people become skeptical that the election process has integrity, when they doubt the credibility, the viability of this system, and they say, I don't think who I voted for, I don't think my vote was counted, I don't think my vote was tallied, I think there's influence going on, I don't think I'm really the sovereign anymore in a Republican system.

00:29:44.000 And that causes, of course, a crisis of legitimacy, and that creates big problems for a A government that's trying to exercise authority.

00:29:50.000 And so that's why this is a very serious thing.

00:29:53.000 When we talk about FBI abuses and FISA warrant abuses and surveillance, they are doing nothing short of undermining the credibility and the viability of the U.S. government.

00:30:02.000 And you understand, once that happens, it's civil unrest.

00:30:05.000 You challenge the legitimacy of the government, and that opens up the door to a lot of problems mass protests, insurrections, intrastate conflict and warfare, urban conflict.

00:30:16.000 I mean, it's a very bad thing, it's a very dangerous thing.

00:30:19.000 And so the House Intel Committee, which is exercising their oversight function over the Intelligence Committee, or community rather, puts together this memo with intelligence from the Office of the Inspector General with information from the OIG.

00:30:33.000 And they say the American people have a right to know there's these rumors.

00:30:36.000 It's undermining the credibility of this government and its ability to pass laws.

00:30:41.000 And we're going to be transparent and we're going to let them know what's going on.

00:30:44.000 And the FBI, which is unelected, which no congressman appointed, Or rather, well, they did.

00:30:50.000 They appoint the chief, but I mean, everybody else in the FBI is basically picked.

00:30:54.000 But these are unelected people.

00:30:56.000 These are people not elected by the people.

00:30:58.000 They never got a ballot.

00:30:59.000 We don't know too much about them.

00:31:01.000 A lot of them are carryovers from the previous administration or several administrations.

00:31:06.000 They go out there and they say, stop.

00:31:09.000 They go out there, they go up to the White House, to the people's house, to the people's president, the head of the civilian government, and they say, Stop what you're doing.

00:31:19.000 You know, and they don't say it that way.

00:31:21.000 They don't issue it like that.

00:31:22.000 That might be a little too on the nose, but they go out there and they say, We're expressing our grave concerns.

00:31:26.000 It would be a very bad idea for you to publish that, President Trump.

00:31:32.000 And the Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, goes up there too and says, Yeah, it'd be a very bad idea if you were to do that, Donald Trump.

00:31:39.000 Just think.

00:31:41.000 Of the madness that is going on in our country.

00:31:43.000 If you don't believe in the deep state, if you don't believe in conspiracies as they are, if you don't believe in these kinds of things, just think about that the House is exercising their sovereign right.

00:31:54.000 And I think their obligation to the people in showing transparency, in helping to ameliorate a lot of the people's concerns about whether or not their government is legitimate, is a civilian government, is sovereign, truly, in the sense that Donald Trump is calling the shots and not some puppet master, not some oligarch, not some moneyed interest.

00:32:13.000 Not some shadowy deep state.

00:32:17.000 And the FBI goes up to the White House.

00:32:19.000 They go up, they knock, they barge through the doors of the people's house, and they say, You're not going to do that.

00:32:25.000 Not so fast, buddy.

00:32:27.000 Very spooky stuff.

00:32:29.000 And I think this lends a lot of credence to what Q Anon has been saying.

00:32:32.000 These little things where I don't know if Q Anon was totally legitimate.

00:32:36.000 I haven't been keeping up with that too much because it got, admittedly, it got to be a lot to handle.

00:32:40.000 And for the uninitiated, Q Anon was somebody who claimed.

00:32:44.000 To be on 4chan, which is an anonymous message board.

00:32:47.000 And I have to say this for some of the boomers watching, maybe.

00:32:50.000 QAnon was somebody who claimed to be on this anonymous message board on the internet, somebody with Q level clearance, security clearance, somebody who knew essentially what was going on at the highest level, somebody who was in the know on the inside and understood some of the most classified information, things that were going on around the world, internationally, domestically, and who came on and purported to know that in the coming months,

00:33:15.000 There would be a massive purge of this international crime syndicate of connections as far as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, basically actors all over the globe in concert with the Democratic Party and forces within this country to bring about a very corrupt and dark order that was thwarted essentially by, I guess, this parallel force going on.

00:33:38.000 And it lends a lot of credence to some of the things that that person was talking about.

00:33:42.000 He, for example, noted that it was very peculiar how President Trump has surrounded himself with generals.

00:33:48.000 How President Trump has surrounded himself with people like John Kelly, the chief of staff, who is a general, you know, and Mattis, who is a general, and Mueller, even, who is a Marine.

00:33:59.000 And it's kind of interesting how the military is playing a role.

00:34:02.000 And when we start talking about challenges to sovereignty, when we start talking about challenges to legitimacy, and we've been talking about this all week, if the Democrats can successfully contest the legitimacy of the Trump administration, and you take out legitimacy as one pillar of the government's able to exercise authority in the country, and what's left?

00:34:23.000 Power, raw military power that comes out of the end of a long rifle.

00:34:27.000 And if that's the case, it comes down to who has the allegiance of the military?

00:34:32.000 Is it the generals?

00:34:33.000 Is it the Marines?

00:34:34.000 You know, who answers to the president?

00:34:36.000 That's what it comes down to.

00:34:37.000 And that's, I know that's a pretty wild thing to say.

00:34:39.000 That's a pretty, pretty wacky thing to say.

00:34:42.000 You're not going to hear that on Fox News, but it does lend a little bit of credence to this theory that if we're seeing that the Democrats are building up and the special counsel is building up to contesting the legitimacy of the presidency, and I say legitimacy not as like this arbitrary word, but.

00:34:57.000 That's a very technical word.

00:34:59.000 They're undermining the legitimacy of the Trump administration to govern the country, the legitimacy of the Trump administration's sovereignty over the country.

00:35:08.000 And if they challenge that, well, then, of course, the government rests only on a monopoly on force.

00:35:13.000 The only reason that people follow the laws is because they know that if they don't, they'll get killed.

00:35:18.000 We've done a great job in this English Protestant inspired country, and more broadly, even in our ancestral homeland in England, in the United Kingdom, this Anglosphere in the past 1,000 years.

00:35:31.000 To build up this Lockean concept of not just this Hobbesian order of everybody submitting to power because they're afraid to be killed by a big powerful state, but also legitimacy that we submit to the state not only because we have to, but because we want to, because we understand that the rule of law benefits everybody and that peace benefits everybody.

00:35:52.000 And it's just better off when we understand that we're a part of this process and we get a hand in passing the laws.

00:35:58.000 And that's this contract, that's the social contract, which is society.

00:36:02.000 And so if you erode the legitimacy and we just have power, Then it simply comes down to if Hillary Clinton's going to play it that way, if the Democrats are going to play it that way, and they're going to make it out like Trump is an illegitimate president and must be removed either by the 25th Amendment or through impeachment or through something more dubious, something extra legal, then it simply comes down to a Praetorian Guard.

00:36:24.000 It simply comes down to can General Kelly, can Donald Trump retain the allegiance of the military?

00:36:30.000 Can they physically protect themselves from an overthrow?

00:36:34.000 And that's pretty wild talk.

00:36:35.000 Like I said, there's a lot of gravity to that, but.

00:36:39.000 The signs are pointing in this direction.

00:36:40.000 The signs right now are pointing in this direction.

00:36:42.000 If we're talking about a serious challenge to legitimacy, then that is the result.

00:36:48.000 And that could be why he's surrounding himself with generals.

00:36:51.000 So that's the memo.

00:36:51.000 It's one theory.

00:36:52.000 Could have some pretty dire implications.

00:36:54.000 We'll see what comes out.

00:36:55.000 I don't like that the FBI is coming to the White House to lecture the president.

00:36:59.000 Nobody should like that.

00:37:01.000 Nobody should like how much power the CIA has, the FBI has, the NSA has.

00:37:06.000 You know, it's kind of this trite thing, but.

00:37:09.000 It's not so much in a democracy like who counts the ballots and who's the face of it, but it really is about who's pulling the levers. 0.89

00:37:16.000 If the NSA can spy on everybody all the time, if the CIA can operate extrajudicially, extra legally in all countries and even our own, if they can kill people without a trial, if they can kill people and search people without a warrant, without going through the judiciary, without going through the Congress, if they can be at war with the country without an act of Congress, without anybody even hearing about it, they can conduct these black operations. 0.95

00:37:41.000 Who really holds the reins of power in the country? 0.55

00:37:43.000 Who really holds the reins of power?

00:37:45.000 Is it President Trump?

00:37:46.000 Is it the Congress?

00:37:47.000 Is it the congressmen?

00:37:48.000 Is it the people?

00:37:49.000 No.

00:37:50.000 No.

00:37:52.000 It's the deep state.

00:37:53.000 It's these intelligence communities.

00:37:54.000 You've got to go down to who is, in terms of bullets and guns, who are pulling the strings around here.

00:38:01.000 I think it would be hard to make the case that it's anybody but the intelligence community.

00:38:05.000 And we're in the midst of this civil war going on behind the scenes.

00:38:08.000 So that's the memo.

00:38:10.000 Looks like we're coming up on our 45 minute marks.

00:38:13.000 We'll jump into your super chats and we'll see.

00:38:16.000 What is going on over there?

00:38:17.000 But some very scary stuff, no doubt.

00:38:19.000 Some very spooky stuff.

00:38:23.000 Rata Punks says, and we're in our super chats.

00:38:26.000 Remember, if you want to donate a little bit of shekels, you can get your question in.

00:38:30.000 We got Rata Punks who says, You should have Kyle Hunt from Renegade Broadcasting.

00:38:35.000 I don't know who that is.

00:38:37.000 I don't know who Kyle Hunt is.

00:38:38.000 I don't know what Renegade Broadcasting is, but I don't know.

00:38:40.000 Maybe I'll look into it.

00:38:45.000 We'll see.

00:38:46.000 Alciabadi says, Congress yelling USA.

00:38:49.000 Like it was a Trump rally.

00:38:50.000 Keck.

00:38:51.000 No, that was good optics.

00:38:51.000 Yeah.

00:38:54.000 That was good optics.

00:38:56.000 This is a very powerful framing.

00:38:58.000 And I talked about this the other day the framing of the president.

00:39:02.000 And moreover, here's the kicker, here's the catch. 0.62

00:39:06.000 Not just the Republican Party, but the white Republican Party as American.

00:39:11.000 We are reclaiming the label of Americanism, of American nationalism. 0.81

00:39:16.000 And I will say this watch the State of the Union last night, and you see the Democrats, and the Democrats have Asians, and they have blacks, and the blacks are in their traditional African garb, and they have the Hispanics. 0.89

00:39:29.000 And they're all sitting there with their arms crossed.

00:39:31.000 And during the USA chant, Luis Gutierrez leaves because he's so disgusted.

00:39:36.000 And people get on television the next day, Jews, Hispanics, blacks, and they say, Oh, I was so scared.

00:39:44.000 It sent chills down my spine in a bad way that I heard the USA chant.

00:39:49.000 And after the State of the Union, you have Luis Gutierrez, or excuse me, that other Hispanic who got elected in Virginia, giving their response in Spanish.

00:39:57.000 And you see that Donald Trump is reclaiming the America brand, American history, America as a country. 0.54

00:40:03.000 Not for Republicans, but for white people. 0.58

00:40:06.000 Notice this, whether you agree with it or not, whether you think that's a good thing or not, that's what's in effect happening. 0.64

00:40:12.000 Who are the remaining people who believe in America as Donald Trump has seized the brand?

00:40:17.000 Who believes in Make America Great Again?

00:40:19.000 Who believes in saluting the flag, loving our military?

00:40:22.000 Who is it? 1.00

00:40:23.000 Is it the blacks who kneel during the national anthem? 1.00

00:40:26.000 Is it the blacks who set cities on fire and they do their rap songs about how they hate cops and they're smashing cop cars and everything else? 1.00

00:40:34.000 Is it Hispanics who refuse to learn the language? 0.99

00:40:37.000 Who say that the southwestern United States is actually Mexico? 0.99

00:40:41.000 It's stolen land for Mexico? 1.00

00:40:44.000 Is it these Jewish people who are terrified every time they see a flag waving or the national anthem playing? 0.99

00:40:50.000 Who are the people remaining who still support the American flag? 0.95

00:40:53.000 Who still support the national anthem?

00:40:55.000 Think of it that way.

00:40:56.000 Anybody who calls Donald Trump a cuck, anybody who says he's always a basic boomer conservative, think about that. 0.94

00:41:03.000 Think about the branding. 0.90

00:41:04.000 Who was chanting USA last night?

00:41:06.000 Which party?

00:41:07.000 And the party of whom?

00:41:09.000 And that's not to say we agree with that.

00:41:10.000 That's not to say we're cheering that on.

00:41:12.000 That's not to say that's the best thing in the world.

00:41:15.000 But that is what's in effect happening.

00:41:17.000 And it's not because we did it by design, it's because people are choosing this.

00:41:21.000 This division is inevitable.

00:41:23.000 It is like gravity.

00:41:24.000 You can't ignore it.

00:41:26.000 And if you do ignore it, it's only a matter of time before it all comes tumbling down. 0.97

00:41:31.000 And we're seeing that today where an embrace of the American flag, an embrace of the United States, of patriotism, of the vets, and you get blacks showing up in their African garb. 0.95

00:41:40.000 To accentuate their differences, to accentuate their distinction. 1.00

00:41:44.000 We are not like you.

00:41:45.000 We are African. 1.00

00:41:46.000 The Hispanics doing it in Spanish. 1.00

00:41:48.000 We are not like you. 1.00

00:41:49.000 We are our own people and the other groups as well.

00:41:53.000 So that's a very interesting thing.

00:41:55.000 That's a very interesting thing.

00:41:56.000 That's what our task is moving forward.

00:42:01.000 And look, everybody wants in on the America train who understands what America means implicitly.

00:42:06.000 Come on board.

00:42:07.000 But everybody else, you got to go back.

00:42:10.000 Marissa Blythe.

00:42:11.000 Thoughts on Representative Trey Gowdy resigning?

00:42:13.000 He mentioned it was time for him to, quote, return to the justice system.

00:42:17.000 Could he have something up his sleeve?

00:42:18.000 Well, I certainly think the timing is peculiar.

00:42:20.000 And it's peculiar not just for Trey Gowdy, but for everybody.

00:42:23.000 I mean, you're seeing a lot of Republican governors resigning, a lot of Republican representatives and senators resigning, Orrin Hatch resigning, Jeff Flake resigning.

00:42:32.000 You know, there are many people that are being taken out of the playing field here.

00:42:35.000 And you've got to wonder what Trey Gowdy's motive here is, because Trey Gowdy is not like the other people resigning.

00:42:41.000 He's not one of these establishment type characters.

00:42:43.000 So, I definitely think he could have something up his sleeve.

00:42:46.000 Of course, he resigned from the House Ethics Committee earlier in the year, or I think in late 2017, and that was a move that was pretty puzzling.

00:42:53.000 I think he's setting up for something, though I'm not quite sure what. 0.97

00:42:58.000 And Clappy Clapsalot says, That tie sucks. 1.00

00:43:01.000 Well, that's not a very nice thing to say, but I appreciate the shekels. 1.00

00:43:04.000 I don't understand. 1.00

00:43:06.000 If you can see it, it's the White House and then it's the tweets.

00:43:11.000 I think it's a nice tie.

00:43:12.000 Very negative guy.

00:43:13.000 Very nasty, negative thing to say.

00:43:15.000 A lot of negativity.

00:43:17.000 Matt Williams, Nick, what do you think about the, quote, Polish death camps fiasco going on?

00:43:22.000 It really makes you think that an occupied nation during World War II is being blamed as much as the occupier. 0.86

00:43:27.000 Yeah, I did think that was interesting.

00:43:29.000 On Holocaust Remembrance Day, if you recall, and this was a couple of days ago, people were blaming Poland for Nazi death camps on Polish soil. 1.00

00:43:39.000 And if you're familiar with this, this is pretty interesting too.

00:43:43.000 After 1945, after Germany was liberated by the Allied powers, and I say liberated in quotes because then it was immediately put under occupation by foreign powers, after Germany was liberated, after Germany was invaded from all angles and occupied for half a century, They discovered the concentration camps and the death camps.

00:44:05.000 Now, initially, after 1945, they said that there were these death camps, there were these extermination camps where prisoners were not only brought to work and basically to be contained because they were political enemies of the Nazi regime, but also they were put to death.

00:44:21.000 After 1945, they said, well, there were death camps all over Germany and all over Poland.

00:44:26.000 And then they sent some criminologists from the United States, they sent some forensic scientists over to.

00:44:33.000 These quote unquote death camps in Germany, and they couldn't find any evidence to substantiate the claims that these were used as death camps.

00:44:40.000 And there were initial reports after the war that they used steam engines to kill people, that they turned people into lampshades and bars of soap, and that turned out to be atrocity propaganda.

00:44:52.000 There was some obscure, there's some crazy number out there that said that something like 50% of Holocaust survivors said that Joseph Mengele operated on them, who he was the Famous scientist of death who did all these experiments and everything, which of course he didn't operate on all those people, they just made that up.

00:45:11.000 So it was pretty interesting after the war ended.

00:45:12.000 And I'm only saying this is interesting the historiography here, where it came out that they did traces from the walls, from the soil.

00:45:20.000 They said there couldn't have possibly been any death camps in Germany.

00:45:24.000 So the people that were claiming there were said, oh, actually, they were all in Poland.

00:45:29.000 There were only four or six in Poland, which conveniently was under occupation by the Soviet Union.

00:45:35.000 And therefore, not subject to inspection by the United States or the other Allied powers.

00:45:41.000 And actually, two of them, two of the four, I believe, were completely decimated.

00:45:46.000 And you couldn't even tell what they were.

00:45:47.000 And so it took 50 years to discover what was there.

00:45:51.000 So I just think that's interesting.

00:45:52.000 But on top of that, then you have the other day, people are blaming Poland.

00:45:56.000 They're saying Poland was at fault for having the Nazi concentration camps on their soil.

00:46:01.000 It just goes to show that it has never been about never again.

00:46:07.000 It's about. 0.99

00:46:08.000 White people must be guilty. 0.99

00:46:10.000 It is about white people must carry this original sin on our shoulders. 1.00

00:46:14.000 We must be burdened. 0.90

00:46:15.000 We must be weighed down by these heavy shackles of guilt.

00:46:21.000 Even though genocides have happened every time, they've happened at every time in human history.

00:46:26.000 There's a genocide going on right now in the Middle East.

00:46:30.000 There is a genocide of the Yazidis going on right now in the Middle East, a genocide of Christians going on in the Middle East. 0.99

00:46:36.000 Nobody gives a shit in the mainstream media, but we're still hearing about the Holocaust. 0.98

00:46:40.000 There was a genocide of the Kurds. 0.99

00:46:42.000 Under Saddam Hussein.

00:46:43.000 That was 15 years ago.

00:46:44.000 Do you hear about that?

00:46:46.000 If you question the genocide of the Kurds, are you arrested for that?

00:46:49.000 There was a genocide of the Armenians in Turkey at the turn of the century.

00:46:53.000 There have been genocides at every time, at every place in human history. 0.52

00:46:57.000 But only white people are held responsible. 0.81

00:46:59.000 And this one was uniquely bad. 0.52

00:47:01.000 And why?

00:47:02.000 Under the Soviet Union, they killed twice as many people in the Holodomor.

00:47:06.000 And nobody's ever even heard that word.

00:47:08.000 Joseph Stalin deliberately starved tens of millions of Ukrainians to death through the forced collectivization of their farms.

00:47:16.000 And when they resisted the collectivization, he let them starve. 0.84

00:47:20.000 Deliberate genocide of white people.

00:47:23.000 There were 60 million people killed under Joseph Stalin, 70 million killed under Mao Zedong.

00:47:28.000 Where's the outcry about that?

00:47:29.000 Where's the Remembrance Day for those people?

00:47:31.000 Where's the Remembrance Day for the 100 million victims of communism?

00:47:34.000 Six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, 100 million people killed at the hands of communism.

00:47:39.000 Where's the Remembrance Day for that?

00:47:42.000 Do they show you these graphic images of people being killed under communism in kindergarten like they do at the Holocaust?

00:47:47.000 Why do they do it?

00:47:49.000 Is Joseph Stalin universally panned?

00:47:52.000 Is the hammer and sickle?

00:47:54.000 As much of a vile and reprehensible symbol as the swastika. 0.98

00:47:57.000 Why not? 0.97

00:47:58.000 Why is it not? 0.86

00:47:59.000 It was responsible for more than 20 times as many deaths, 20 times more deaths than the swastika. 0.62

00:48:05.000 And yet you see that openly on congressmen, on people on college campuses, professors.

00:48:11.000 Could you imagine? 0.86

00:48:12.000 Could you imagine if the same were true of the swastika?

00:48:15.000 Could you imagine if you went to a school and the swastika was brandished as often as the hammer and sickle is today?

00:48:23.000 And why is it that way?

00:48:25.000 Why is it that way? 0.90

00:48:27.000 It's because white people must be held to account for all sins. 0.84

00:48:31.000 And these are only sins in the new history. 0.96

00:48:34.000 These are only sins in the post history period.

00:48:37.000 These were not sins 100 years ago.

00:48:38.000 This was war.

00:48:39.000 It was simply called war.

00:48:40.000 It was simply called this is the tragedy of being human.

00:48:45.000 Never mind.

00:48:46.000 And then the same is true of slavery, the same is true of discrimination.

00:48:49.000 Never mind that there's vicious, vile discrimination against Malays by the Chinese, or vice versa, excuse me, Chinese in Malaysia by the Malays.

00:48:57.000 Never mind, there is gross, horrible discrimination in all throughout Africa by different tribal and religious groups.

00:49:03.000 Never mind, there's discrimination in China, where they say that we will not, in China, they say this.

00:49:08.000 A Communist Party member has said this.

00:49:10.000 We will not let a thousand years of Chinese blood be tainted by African blood.

00:49:15.000 That's what they, a Chinese Communist government official said this.

00:49:19.000 Where's the outrage?

00:49:20.000 Where's the outcry?

00:49:21.000 Where's the Remembrance Day?

00:49:22.000 You don't see it.

00:49:23.000 Why not?

00:49:24.000 Why not?

00:49:25.000 There's an agenda here.

00:49:27.000 Political correctness is not about.

00:49:29.000 Politeness is forget any of that. 0.97

00:49:30.000 It's about anti white. 1.00

00:49:32.000 It's about shut up, whitey. 1.00

00:49:34.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:49:35.000 You remember all those people you killed? 1.00

00:49:36.000 You have no rights. 0.54

00:49:38.000 You have no country.

00:49:39.000 You have no homeland. 1.00

00:49:40.000 Let the immigrants come through. 1.00

00:49:41.000 That's what it's about.

00:49:42.000 So you see Holocaust Remembrance Day.

00:49:44.000 You start asking yourself these questions.

00:49:45.000 Notice when you bring up the USS Liberty, you bring up the plot in 1967 when Israel deliberately killed more than 100 of our servicemen.

00:49:56.000 They blew up our ship intentionally.

00:49:59.000 And when you bring up this evidence, they say, oh, that was a long time ago.

00:50:03.000 That was a long time ago.

00:50:04.000 Who's keeping score?

00:50:05.000 They killed 100 of our men.

00:50:07.000 I think it was 126 of our servicemen, 126 U.S. soldiers deliberately.

00:50:13.000 We were their allies.

00:50:14.000 We were giving them millions of dollars, I believe, at the time.

00:50:18.000 They were stealing our uranium at the time, and they blew up our ship. 0.94

00:50:23.000 And you come and you say that to any Zionist, any Jew, and what'll they tell you?

00:50:27.000 That was a long time ago. 0.82

00:50:29.000 You tell them about the Levon affair, the Levon affair, when they plotted. 0.92

00:50:33.000 The Israelis, the Zionists at the time, plotted to blow up the United States post office, the United States theaters, the United States government buildings in Egypt, so that they could blame it on the Egyptians and have the United States disavow their relationship with Nasser, which was a very strategically beneficial alliance for us. 0.91

00:50:54.000 They were going to kill our people. 0.79

00:50:56.000 And you bring that up to these people, and they say, That was a long time ago.

00:50:59.000 That was a long time ago.

00:51:03.000 Who cares?

00:51:04.000 You still remember that? 1.00

00:51:05.000 You're an anti Semite if you remember that.

00:51:07.000 And yet we are eternally responsible. 0.91

00:51:09.000 We must never forget.

00:51:11.000 A museum on every street corner, a museum in every town, in every city, in every public square to remind us that we can never unite again.

00:51:20.000 We can never have nationalism again. 1.00

00:51:22.000 We can never have racial identity again because remember what happened last time, Whitey? 1.00

00:51:27.000 Hey, Whitey, remember what happened last time you said you were proud of your history? 1.00

00:51:31.000 Remember what happened last time you said you were proud of your race? 1.00

00:51:33.000 Remember what happened last time when you had a strong leader? 0.59

00:51:37.000 And that's not to say, by the way, that's not a defense of Hitler. 0.74

00:51:40.000 That's merely saying they use this one bad example to disallow us from ever uniting behind our own interests ever again.

00:51:48.000 You really got to give that some thought.

00:51:49.000 It's a powerful story, it's a powerful mythology.

00:51:53.000 And it looks like once we start talking about that, we have a serious drop off.

00:51:57.000 I wonder if that's Mossad?

00:51:59.000 Who could say?

00:52:00.000 Vanilla Tellus says, please watch The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, please.

00:52:04.000 I'll watch that.

00:52:07.000 I got to watch Cowboy Bebop, I got to watch something Magica.

00:52:11.000 That somebody was recommending, and now I gotta watch this as well.

00:52:14.000 So, a lot of anime to catch up on.

00:52:16.000 LC1707, love the tie, donate if you do too.

00:52:20.000 Well, thank you.

00:52:20.000 At least somebody enjoys the tie here.

00:52:24.000 Matt Williams, love the tie.

00:52:25.000 You are the king of optics, and you should watch The Legend of the Galactic Heroes to increase your power level.

00:52:31.000 Well, now that it's got the double endorsement, I gotta watch it.

00:52:33.000 I appreciate the compliments on the tie.

00:52:35.000 Very, very kind.

00:52:37.000 Very kind.

00:52:38.000 White Southern God says, some Catholics like E. Michael Jones.

00:52:42.000 Here we go with the E. Michael Jones.

00:52:44.000 Will often argue that ethnicity is greater than race.

00:52:46.000 Do you see race being more significant in America versus in Europe, given whites in America are more of an amalgamation? 0.85

00:52:53.000 Here's the thing this is a very good point the distinction between ethnicity and race. 0.85

00:52:59.000 This is why I'm not alt right.

00:53:00.000 This is why I'm not an identitarian.

00:53:03.000 They say they're identitarians.

00:53:04.000 This is their word.

00:53:06.000 Richard Spencer says, I'm an identitarian.

00:53:08.000 And he kind of talks out of his nose.

00:53:10.000 Patrick Casey from Identity Europa says, I'm an identitarian.

00:53:13.000 This is not a word that the dictionary recognizes, this is really a European word.

00:53:18.000 And I really sat down and I thought about it for a moment.

00:53:20.000 I thought, what does it mean to be an identitarian?

00:53:22.000 What does that mean?

00:53:24.000 What in God's name does that mean?

00:53:26.000 I believe that identity is important.

00:53:28.000 And that's your ideology?

00:53:29.000 You know, I believe that drinking water is important.

00:53:33.000 I believe that eating three square meals a day is important.

00:53:37.000 Am I a watertarian?

00:53:38.000 Maybe I am because I'm a chill for big water, but I'm an identitarian.

00:53:42.000 You believe that what?

00:53:44.000 Identity should be the basis of society?

00:53:46.000 Okay, which identity?

00:53:48.000 Regional identity?

00:53:49.000 Ethnic identity, racial identity, national identity, historical, cultural, religious identity.

00:53:55.000 Very difficult thing.

00:53:56.000 What's to say that a Nordic supremacist is more of an identitarian than a white racialist?

00:54:03.000 You know, for example, Richard Spencer says he wants an ethnostate that is welcoming to all white people.

00:54:08.000 He's a racialist. 0.70

00:54:09.000 Well, what about the identitarian Nordicist who says, I don't want to be associated with these meds?

00:54:15.000 I don't want to be associated with these Italians and these Mediterranean people.

00:54:18.000 What about the Anglo? 0.96

00:54:20.000 Identitarian who says, I don't want to be associated with these Scots and these Irishmen, these Celts. 1.00

00:54:24.000 I don't want to be associated with these Krauts. 1.00

00:54:26.000 What do you say to that guy? 1.00

00:54:27.000 He's an identitarian.

00:54:29.000 His ethnic identity is important to him.

00:54:31.000 What are you going to tell him?

00:54:32.000 Oh, well, you have to put that aside?

00:54:34.000 There's nothing in that identity that says that.

00:54:34.000 Why?

00:54:36.000 So it's just very, very broken, very, it's built on a pile of sand, much like some of the other ideologies that we've deconstructed over the course of the show.

00:54:45.000 And so when you talk about racial versus ethnic, particularly in America, you'll find, and you'll find in America, this was written about in Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone.

00:54:54.000 And this is where I really woke up to this.

00:54:56.000 In Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone, he talks about how ethnic heterogeneity, racial heterogeneity, religious heterogeneity, Makes community suffer.

00:55:06.000 Community, trust, social trust, a lot of these things that we've come to value in a very communal society, in a Lockean society, a little throwback to our previous conversation, is the result of homogeneity in demographics.

00:55:21.000 Same ethnic groups, same racial groups, religious, so on and so forth.

00:55:24.000 And that's how the country was.

00:55:25.000 When the country was founded, the country was something like, I think it was 90% English and 97% Protestant.

00:55:32.000 This was a homogeneous country, and this was unlike the other kinds of colonialism.

00:55:36.000 The French came here and they did business with the Native Americans and they incorporated the Native Americans in.

00:55:42.000 Even in Africa, the French model of colonialism was to make Africans like French citizens.

00:55:47.000 The Spanish came in and they intermixed with the Native Americans. 0.84

00:55:51.000 That's why you have mestizos and castizos and so on and mulattoes. 0.69

00:55:57.000 And the English model for colonialism was to simply make their own society, that there was a border for it. 0.99

00:56:03.000 And that's why we pushed the Native Americans out and we destroyed them because this was going to be an English country, an English Protestant country. 0.94

00:56:10.000 And there was homogeneity. 0.99

00:56:11.000 Well, Robert Putnam wrote in Bowling Alone that even between, even in a place like North Dakota, between groups as similar as Nords and Swedes, you still had, you still had, because of this minor friction.

00:56:26.000 What do they call that in international relations?

00:56:29.000 What did we call that in comparative government?

00:56:33.000 The name of it escapes me.

00:56:35.000 But basically, because of this ethnic fault line between Swedes and Nords, which anybody would say is arbitrary, which Americans, a lot of Americans would say, That's arbitrary.

00:56:44.000 Swedes and Nords, they're on the same peninsula.

00:56:47.000 They're both Scandinavian.

00:56:48.000 They're both Northern European.

00:56:50.000 They both have this pagan history.

00:56:51.000 For many years, they were part of the same empire.

00:56:54.000 You know, they have the same culture, similar language, similar climate, everything else.

00:56:59.000 You would think that that would be a very arbitrary distinction.

00:57:02.000 And yet, they come to a place like America where it's supposed to be e pluribus unum out of many one.

00:57:07.000 There's supposed to be one American identity. 0.78

00:57:09.000 And there should at least be this recognition of similarity between white people. 0.81

00:57:13.000 And even in this case, even in North Dakota, even when it's all white. 0.56

00:57:17.000 Even when it's similar groups, there is still this fracture.

00:57:20.000 There is still this fault line between these ethnicities.

00:57:23.000 Community still suffers between these groups of people.

00:57:26.000 And it just goes to show that identity, racialism will never be sufficient. 0.85

00:57:32.000 It will never be sufficient. 0.99

00:57:34.000 Because you will have people from Italy who fight with each other.

00:57:37.000 You'll have people from Sicily and people from Naples and people from Northern Italy fighting with each other.

00:57:42.000 You'll have people from Spain, people from Catalonia and people from Madrid fighting with each other.

00:57:47.000 You'll have people from France, you'll have some people from Paris, and some people from Marseille, and they'll be fighting with each other. 0.72

00:57:53.000 Germany, you'll have people from East and West, and Russia, you'll have people that are Muscovites, and you'll have people that are Kazakhs or Chechnyans. 0.88

00:58:02.000 And that is why identitarians, they simply do not have an answer for this. 0.86

00:58:07.000 They want homogeneity, and they don't know how to define it.

00:58:09.000 They don't know what the bounds are. 0.87

00:58:11.000 They have yet to come up with a convincing answer for what is white, and their ideology is whiteness. 0.87

00:58:18.000 How do you explain that? 0.91

00:58:19.000 A constitutionalist, you could say, What's the constitution?

00:58:22.000 They could say it's this, that, and the other, and it's not that.

00:58:25.000 A liberal, you could say, What is liberalism?

00:58:26.000 It's this, that, and the other, and not that. 0.92

00:58:29.000 Identitarian, what is white?

00:58:31.000 You ask a white nationalist, a white racialist, what is white? 0.55

00:58:35.000 We know what it is.

00:58:36.000 No, we don't.

00:58:38.000 No, we don't.

00:58:39.000 And you have to tell us.

00:58:41.000 Richard Spencer was on the debate with Sargon of Akkad.

00:58:44.000 He couldn't come up with a convincing answer.

00:58:46.000 Not a biological answer, not a cultural answer.

00:58:48.000 And I understand it's a difficult question.

00:58:50.000 But I didn't base my ideology off of that difficult question, and I didn't do it before I had an answer.

00:58:55.000 So there it is. 0.86

00:58:58.000 Ethnicity is a greater draw because it's a closer.

00:59:01.000 Affiliation in the same way that you relate more to your community than to your county, and more to your county than to your state, and more to your state than the rest of the country. 0.67

00:59:10.000 So, of course, the smaller the group, the stronger your affiliation.

00:59:14.000 This is basic tribalism, and that's why I don't think you'll have it.

00:59:18.000 I don't think you can build it on racialism alone.

00:59:20.000 There has to be another form of identity which can lubricate these differences, which can accommodate these differences.

00:59:28.000 Why were white people able to live together for so long in the same place when you had all these different groups?

00:59:33.000 It's because you had a civic identity.

00:59:34.000 You had a political identity.

00:59:35.000 You had a cultural identity.

00:59:37.000 That's not to say you should have civic and political alone, or rather, cultural and political alone, but it's to say that those are necessary.

00:59:46.000 They're necessary to smooth things over.

00:59:49.000 So there's this meme going around in the alt right that it's like, mug Constitution.

00:59:52.000 Like the Constitution is a joke.

00:59:53.000 Constitution is a very important feature of American identity.

00:59:57.000 I would say the Constitution is as important to our identity as the British crown is to the English.

01:00:03.000 As Cesaro Papism is to the Russians, as the Vatican is to the Italians.

01:00:08.000 To say, you're an identitarian and you mock the founding docket of our country?

01:00:13.000 I mean, that is the foundational mythology of our national identity.

01:00:17.000 And oh, that's just arbitrary. 0.90

01:00:18.000 Oh, that's just silly.

01:00:20.000 We should listen to Depeche Mode. 1.00

01:00:22.000 You know, so, so asinine. 0.84

01:00:27.000 So it should be more, it definitely, the race is definitely more significant in America. 0.95

01:00:34.000 It must be more significant.

01:00:35.000 That's the way we're going to unite.

01:00:37.000 Duckhead, your McDonald's food review was bad optics.

01:00:40.000 No, it wasn't.

01:00:41.000 No, it wasn't.

01:00:43.000 I am the king of optics.

01:00:44.000 I say what is bad optics and what is good optics because I have good instincts, because I have good intuition. 0.71

01:00:49.000 What's good optics is everything that isn't Nazism. 0.70

01:00:52.000 Here's why the food review is good optics. 0.99

01:00:54.000 Here's why, and I have a tendency, I can be a little bit silly, I can be a little bit off the wall, I can be a memester, I can be a shit poster. 0.99

01:01:00.000 And here's why it's disarming. 0.97

01:01:03.000 When you disarm people and you make them laugh, or you show them that you're not a scary person, they're more receptive.

01:01:10.000 Believe it or not, When Richard Spencer and even to an extent Daily Stormer and just generally people in the alt right make it out like we're this intimidating force, you should be afraid of us.

01:01:21.000 This is off putting to a lot of people.

01:01:23.000 And I've said it before, I'll say it again.

01:01:25.000 One of the reasons why Donald Trump was able to say a lot of the things he was able to say is because he was funny.

01:01:30.000 He was funny as hell.

01:01:32.000 If he were this super serious, angry kind of a guy and he was talking about a Muslim ban, people would be scared. 0.63

01:01:39.000 People would say, oh, I don't like this guy so much. 1.00

01:01:41.000 But he was funny about it.

01:01:42.000 They said, How could this guy be the next Hitler when he's going up and he says, Oh, it's Rubio? 0.86

01:01:48.000 You know, and he does all these silly jokes and he goes on SNL and he does this goofy dance. 0.71

01:01:53.000 So, a big part of it is being disarming.

01:01:55.000 You have to be disarming.

01:01:57.000 So, that's why it's good optics. 1.00

01:01:59.000 Tyler Durden, James Alsup is an Aspie retard. 0.99

01:02:02.000 Mike Enoch, and this is a comment that I'm reading off. 0.98

01:02:05.000 By the way, these are not my words. 1.00

01:02:07.000 James Alsup is an Aspie retard. 1.00

01:02:09.000 Mike Enoch is a fat alcoholic. 1.00

01:02:11.000 Richard Spencer is just plain gay. 1.00

01:02:13.000 And Evig McLaren. 0.99

01:02:14.000 Evan McLaren is just playing a weirdo.

01:02:16.000 Yeah, that's all a pretty accurate assessment.

01:02:19.000 And that's not even in a mean way, not even in a vindictive way.

01:02:22.000 We have to soberly assess the state of our movement.

01:02:25.000 You know, you could just as easily say to me in a totally impersonal way that I'm scrawny and I'm a kid and I'm a castizo and I have a big head and it's silly that I put on a suit and do a show every night.

01:02:37.000 And you could say all of that.

01:02:39.000 That would be a fair assessment and a sober assessment to judge the optics of the movement. 0.99

01:02:45.000 And then equally, you could say that Mike Enoch is fat and an alcoholic and he talks kind of like a cuck. 0.99

01:02:50.000 I was watching Spencer's Auburn speech the other day where Enoch gave an introduction and it was pathetic. 1.00

01:02:56.000 The way he was talking about white people, it was so pathetic. 0.99

01:02:58.000 It was like he looked like a depth groveler. 1.00

01:03:00.000 He was like, oh, and white people are just anti white. 0.98

01:03:03.000 People are anti white. 0.97

01:03:05.000 And people were booing him.

01:03:06.000 And he was like, no, no, listen to me.

01:03:08.000 It was just the saddest affair.

01:03:11.000 And, you know, these other guys, Evan McLaren, weird, weird guy.

01:03:16.000 Spence, obviously, has got some issues.

01:03:18.000 And these things have to be addressed.

01:03:20.000 You have to have good optics.

01:03:21.000 Look at Cabot Phillips.

01:03:23.000 I hate the guy. 0.69

01:03:24.000 I wouldn't say I hate the guy, I don't think about him enough to hate him.

01:03:28.000 But Cabot Phillips, he is this talking head on Fox News, and we got into it a lot back when we were in the same circles. 0.99

01:03:36.000 And coward, real coward. 0.98

01:03:38.000 But he's this neoliberal shill. 1.00

01:03:39.000 He goes on Fox News and he talks about leftist lunacy on college campuses.

01:03:44.000 And of course, his father got him his job.

01:03:46.000 His father, he met his wife at Leadership Institute.

01:03:49.000 He was good friends with the guy who runs it, whose name escapes me right now.

01:03:53.000 He was good friends with the guy who runs the Leadership Institute.

01:03:56.000 He met his wife there.

01:03:58.000 He is now the head of some major think tank, some major Republican super PAC.

01:04:04.000 And coincidentally, now Cabot Phillips is the head of Campus Reform, which is a subsidiary of Leadership Institute.

01:04:09.000 Very convenient.

01:04:10.000 But anyway, Cabot Phillips is clean, clean cut guy.

01:04:14.000 He's a handsome guy.

01:04:15.000 He dresses nice.

01:04:16.000 He's tall.

01:04:17.000 He's got a pretty girlfriend. 0.99

01:04:19.000 There's no weird shit going on there. 1.00

01:04:20.000 He doesn't talk like a fag. 1.00

01:04:23.000 He's not autistic. 0.99

01:04:24.000 He doesn't look like he has Down syndrome.

01:04:26.000 He's not an alcoholic.

01:04:27.000 And it kills me because we see somebody like that who's got all the wrong ideas.

01:04:31.000 But he's got the look, and that's enough for him.

01:04:34.000 We look at our guys, who may have the right ideas.

01:04:36.000 Maybe they do.

01:04:37.000 I don't think they do, but maybe they do.

01:04:39.000 And they show up in ill fitting clothes. 1.00

01:04:43.000 They look like a slob. 1.00

01:04:44.000 They're alcoholic. 1.00

01:04:45.000 And their message is like, we're supposed to design the new country. 0.99

01:04:48.000 Very, very goofy. 0.97

01:04:50.000 Very goofy.

01:04:51.000 Right from Wrong says, keep in mind, NSA still hasn't released the Liberty docs.

01:04:56.000 That's true.

01:04:59.000 What are they hiding with the USS Liberty that they still haven't declassified all the documents?

01:04:59.000 What are they hiding?

01:05:03.000 And the same is true with other things as well.

01:05:07.000 Recovering neat.

01:05:09.000 The real issue is the Grinder Greg question. 0.99

01:05:12.000 Should anti Christian open homos be allowed to start cat fights and promote esoteric postmodern fascism? 0.95

01:05:20.000 Is that Greg Johnson you're talking about? 1.00

01:05:22.000 I don't know enough about Greg Johnson. 1.00

01:05:24.000 I know that he is a homosexual.

01:05:26.000 I know that he's feuded with Richard Spencer for a long time. 0.83

01:05:29.000 I know that he's not like really public.

01:05:31.000 Like he doesn't allow cameras in his appearances or anything like that, but he does have a PhD.

01:05:35.000 He went to Catholic University.

01:05:37.000 But I don't listen to his podcast or anything like that.

01:05:40.000 I've never read anything he's written besides his critiques of the alt right.

01:05:44.000 So I don't know.

01:05:45.000 Is he anti Christian?

01:05:46.000 I'm not familiar with his position on that.

01:05:48.000 But no, if you're anti Christian, you shouldn't be in the movement.

01:05:51.000 If you're anti Christian, you don't understand what needs to be done.

01:05:55.000 You don't understand what questions need to be addressed.

01:05:58.000 Christianity, to ignore Christianity, is a monumental miscalculation in the sense that the symbols of Christianity, the stories of Christianity, The physiognomy of Christianity is absolutely necessary to reconstitute any coherent form of Western identity.

01:06:19.000 You understand that Western identity is, it essentially is Christian identity.

01:06:24.000 It has been for 2,000 years. 1.00

01:06:25.000 And even in the 150 off years when it hasn't, it's been a negative God.

01:06:31.000 It hasn't been its own positive thing.

01:06:33.000 The past 150 years in the absence of God have not been a positive alternative.

01:06:37.000 It's been a negation of the previous 2,000 years.

01:06:40.000 And so arguably, the subject is still God, still Christ.

01:06:46.000 And you look at the Christian story more broadly.

01:06:48.000 Think about the Christian story.

01:06:50.000 What is the Christian story?

01:06:51.000 Think about what Christianity is.

01:06:53.000 You know, and I was telling this to Steve Chatterson, just kind of a funny way of looking at it the other day.

01:06:59.000 So, people for a long time, they used to be these hunter gatherers, right?

01:07:03.000 They used to hunt things down and eat them, and we used to be this tribal kind of a people.

01:07:07.000 We were like the other animals, but we made tools.

01:07:10.000 And we gradually became conscious.

01:07:13.000 This is how the evolutionary story goes.

01:07:14.000 And we formed these settlements, we formed these civilizations.

01:07:17.000 We discovered that, like tools, we could fashion crops in the ground, we could domesticate animals, we could form these civilizations.

01:07:23.000 And for a long time, for about 8,000 years, we had these basic civilizations.

01:07:28.000 Eventually, they became more advanced civilizations.

01:07:30.000 And for a long time, we had this problem where we woke up one day, we figured out, like, okay, I'm like five or 10 years old, and I'm here, and I got a hunt to eat, and we got to do these other things.

01:07:42.000 But we had this problem as people where we noticed we were awake for a long time, we were conscious for a long time, and then we went away, then we expired.

01:07:49.000 Then people we knew, people we loved, eventually just expired after a while.

01:07:53.000 After about 50 to 100 years, depending on the time and place, people stopped moving around.

01:07:59.000 And this was the fundamental question of our existence.

01:08:01.000 This defined our existence.

01:08:04.000 Why are we mortal?

01:08:05.000 And everything became sort of evolved around this idea of mortality, of time, that we have to produce certain things, we have to account for short and long term.

01:08:16.000 We are human animals in time as well as in space.

01:08:20.000 And eventually, and it wasn't obviously that abstract, but that was the premise.

01:08:24.000 And then one day, we were very confused why are people going away?

01:08:27.000 Why are they dying?

01:08:28.000 What happens after we die?

01:08:29.000 And then somebody comes around.

01:08:31.000 And there's this rumor going around that somebody came back.

01:08:35.000 One day there was a rumor spread by these 12 guys, these 12 dissonant kind of guys, that wait a minute, I heard from a friend of a friend that somebody died, but he came back later.

01:08:46.000 And for 2,000 years, we have debated, we have studied, we have analyzed, we have thought about if this actually happened.

01:08:55.000 Did it happen?

01:08:56.000 If it happened, what are the consequences?

01:08:58.000 How are we supposed to live with this?

01:09:00.000 For the longest time, we were just dying, and that was okay, and we were just kind of free to do what we want in the meantime.

01:09:05.000 But now we have evidence, or there's a rumor, and somebody died and they came back.

01:09:10.000 And now we have to deal with that.

01:09:11.000 We have to deal with the consequences.

01:09:12.000 We have to imagine if that's true or not.

01:09:15.000 And this has defined Western civilization that this happened.

01:09:19.000 This foundational myth.

01:09:20.000 And I say myth not that it's not true, but myth in the sense that this is a story which contains values and ideas, conveys them in a simple way, in a way that's easy to remember.

01:09:32.000 And that has been the story of Western civilization.

01:09:34.000 This has charted and defined our course, the sense of mortality, the sense of a judgment.

01:09:39.000 The sense of eternal life, the church, you know, all of these things that are present in the Bible.

01:09:44.000 And to throw that away, to say, ah, we don't really like it anymore.

01:09:50.000 We're not that Christian anymore, even though we're living among the ruins of it and it still has a very real presence in the country. 0.98

01:09:55.000 Yeah, we're just going to give up on that. 1.00

01:09:58.000 It's just very dumb, very stupid strategic mistake. 1.00

01:10:01.000 And that's from a utilitarian perspective. 1.00

01:10:03.000 I happen to believe it's the truth.

01:10:05.000 But if you are a political reformer, you have to see the political viability of it, you have to see the power of these symbols.

01:10:14.000 The power of these revealed truths and the power they have to unite people and to motivate people. 0.87

01:10:21.000 People are not going to wake up every day and sacrifice for the white race. 0.55

01:10:27.000 Nobody rolls out of bed in the morning to go and wage slave at their nine to five and says, Well, I'm going to do it. 0.65

01:10:33.000 I'm going to push through.

01:10:34.000 I'm going to persevere for my white brothers, for my DNA, for my blood and soil. 0.81

01:10:39.000 Not in America. 0.52

01:10:39.000 Not going to happen. 0.52

01:10:40.000 Not going to happen.

01:10:42.000 But they will get out for God.

01:10:44.000 They will get out of bed for Christ.

01:10:46.000 They must.

01:10:47.000 It is an obligation.

01:10:50.000 It is a duty.

01:10:50.000 So that's why we have to have Christ back.

01:10:52.000 That's why we can't have anybody who's against it.

01:10:55.000 Running Wild. 0.99

01:10:56.000 People say, who cares if the next James Bond is black? 0.98

01:10:59.000 Don't be racist. 0.87

01:11:00.000 What if there was another Shaft reboot and the character was white? 1.00

01:11:03.000 Would there be a chimp out? 1.00

01:11:05.000 There would be. 1.00

01:11:05.000 And I think it's very telling. 1.00

01:11:07.000 This is one of my first major moments of clarity, if you will, when I looked, because I'm a big movie fan, I'm a big movie buff, and I got into the blaxploitation movies for a time, and I watched Shaft.

01:11:19.000 And Shaft was, this is regarded as the best black film of all time.

01:11:25.000 1972 was released.

01:11:26.000 1972 was the best score for a movie, I believe, the best movie soundtrack by Isaac Hayes, the Shaft theme song.

01:11:35.000 And this is regarded as the best black movie ever made, made in 1972.

01:11:38.000 And then you look at the best movie ever made, The Godfather, at least it's third on the AFI 100, third or second, depending on which one you're looking at, which was also made in 1972.

01:11:49.000 And you compare and contrast The Godfather, which was the best of what we could produce in 1972.

01:11:54.000 And then you look at Shaft, which is the best that has ever been produced.

01:11:59.000 And you look at these two movies and you say, not exactly playing the same sport here.

01:12:06.000 They're not exactly in the same ballpark.

01:12:08.000 And I said, wait a minute, maybe there's a difference there.

01:12:11.000 Maybe there's a difference there. 0.89

01:12:13.000 So, but yeah, no, that's very true.

01:12:16.000 That's very true. 0.72

01:12:17.000 And I was in a class in college where this Jewish professor, she was like, The Odyssey is this expression of, or no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. 0.57

01:12:26.000 I made a reference to Clint Eastwood about morality.

01:12:28.000 I said that I've always thought that morality was basically like those Clint Eastwood movies when he was a cop, when he was dirty hairy, and it was basically like you have laws, but they're never sufficient, and sometimes you have to have vigilantes, and you just have to hope that the good vigilantes are better than the bad crooks and criminals.

01:12:46.000 I said, that's kind of my vision of justice. 0.77

01:12:50.000 And this Jewish professor said, oh, well, for those that aren't familiar, the dirty hairy movies were like this expression of. 0.98

01:12:56.000 Violent white masculinity. 0.98

01:12:58.000 And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0.95

01:12:59.000 I said, hold the phone here. 0.88

01:13:01.000 I said, you're going to talk about violent white male masculinity.

01:13:03.000 What about Shaft?

01:13:05.000 What about Boss Neighbor?

01:13:09.000 What about Cleopatra Jones?

01:13:09.000 You know, that film.

01:13:12.000 What about TNT Jackson?

01:13:15.000 What's that horrible one?

01:13:16.000 I forget the most famous one.

01:13:18.000 Dolomite.

01:13:19.000 What about Dolomite?

01:13:20.000 How about that? 1.00

01:13:20.000 That's an expression of violent black male masculinity, right? 1.00

01:13:23.000 And she's like, oh, I guess. 1.00

01:13:26.000 Yeah, dummy trying to single out white people. 0.99

01:13:28.000 But. 1.00

01:13:28.000 Yeah, let's have White Shaft. 1.00

01:13:29.000 We'll see how much they like that. 1.00

01:13:30.000 Let's have White Black Panther. 0.94

01:13:32.000 We'll see how much they get a kick out of that. 0.86

01:13:35.000 Let's do a play about the Civil Rights Era.

01:13:38.000 And we'll do it as an opera. 1.00

01:13:39.000 And it'll be all Germans. 0.80

01:13:41.000 It'll be all Germans performing it. 0.92

01:13:43.000 A German is Martin Luther King Jr. 0.99

01:13:45.000 No, how about this? 0.95

01:13:45.000 How about that? 0.95

01:13:46.000 How about we do a play that is a reenaction of Schindler's List, except the Germans are playing the Jews? 0.94

01:13:53.000 You know, it's not, look, it's just like the blacks in Hamilton. 0.82

01:13:56.000 It's just about, you know, it's reflecting modern times. 0.84

01:13:59.000 It's not anything else, right?

01:14:01.000 Not a cultural cleanse, not a cultural genocide, but anyway, that's going to be the show.

01:14:06.000 Looks like that's our last super chat.

01:14:08.000 We're 20 minutes over, and I'm hungry, and I'm hungry.
