00:00:44.000We want to talk about FISA abuses being investigated by the Inspector General, which just came out today.
00:00:50.000We're going to be talking about a meeting between Xi Jinping of China and Kim Jong un of North Korea and some things about the 2018 elections.
00:01:46.000We're going to briefly talk about strategy for the Democrats tonight because there are some new developments.
00:01:53.000But if you want to hear me really get into it, I'm not going to spend very much time on it tonight because, frankly, we just simply don't have time.
00:01:59.000But if you want to hear my take on the 2018 elections, we have a big podcast dedicated just to that coming out tomorrow.
00:02:32.000I got to say, the one thing that's holding me back, I've been trying to do all the content, but the one thing that's holding me back is the phone.
00:02:38.000It's like now more than ever, I'm just addicted to it.
00:03:43.000We got to get straight into the news here.
00:03:45.000I guess the first thing I wanted to talk about is more of a cultural thing.
00:03:49.000Which is the reboot of The Roseanne Show.
00:03:52.000Now, I know I tell people not to watch television, and I hate television, and nobody should be watching it.
00:03:57.000But it was a big television event last night.
00:04:00.000It was the reboot of the Roseanne Barr show, which before my time, I guess it came out in 1988.
00:04:08.000And it was about Roseanne Barr, who was this lesbian Jewish comedian.
00:04:12.000And, you know, it was supposed to portray the white working class in sort of a sympathetic way that wasn't so much on television at the time.
00:04:21.000And I actually took it, funnily enough, I took a class about television in high school, not in college, in high school.
00:04:29.000Where we talked about how Roseanne was a real game changer because a lot of the shows at the time in the 80s were about, you know, like in The Cosby Show was about a very rich, you know, professionals.
00:05:01.000What distinguished it from so many other shows, why this is notable is because, of course, Roseanne Barr was a Trump supporter.
00:05:08.000And the show is decidedly, I don't know if it's pro Trump, but it's at least normalizing the Trump base, the Trump voter, in a way that's been, I think, topical.
00:05:17.000They covered this on Fox News and other places.
00:05:20.000I actually had to sign up for Hulu because I'm Googling, you know, Roseanne Barr's season 10, episode one, trying to get it on Daily Motion, trying to get it on YouTube.
00:05:31.000And they just give you like the hour long.
00:05:33.000Like dubstep music, and it's like, check out the link below, and it's never what it says it is.
00:06:37.000You know, people are saying there were some notable things about the show, and that there's one character, I guess, who's adopted because it's a white family, but there's some, like, black kid just hanging out.
00:06:47.000It's like, you know, that doesn't really, that didn't come from these two, so I don't know if it's adopted.
00:06:51.000Like I said, I've never watched the show before, so I don't know where this kid came from.
00:06:54.000But there's a black kid in there, and the problem is not that they're black.
00:06:58.000The problem is, you know, how'd they get there?
00:07:00.000And then the other issue, the bigger issue, was there was a kid who's cross dressing in the show.
00:07:05.000There's, like, a young guy who's, like, you know, Confused, experimenting.
00:07:10.000He's the gender non conforming type of thing.
00:07:13.000And I understand a lot of people are very upset about this.
00:07:15.000A lot of people on right wing Twitter, at least my circles in the right wing, said, you know, in some ways people are excited about it because here's Roseanne, who's a Trump supporter, and here's a show that portrays the white working class, and here's a show that maybe appeals to white people and to Trump voters more importantly, that it humanizes them, that here's for the first time, maybe since the Tool Time show or the What was the show that Tim Allen hosted on CBS?
00:07:47.000So since then, this is like the first show where you have an unapologetic Trump supporter as the lead.
00:07:52.000And I guess it's a conservative leaning show compared to Modern Family, Blackish, you know, all these other Jimmy Kimmel, these kinds of shows.
00:08:00.000This was like, I guess, leaning more in the right direction.
00:08:05.000That said, a lot of people were very much upset about it because of these two elements.
00:08:09.000And so basically, there's two schools of thought.
00:08:11.000And I got into a little bit of an argument about this with Matt Semite on Twitter, who's a liaison for Paul Nealon's campaign.
00:08:20.000He was viciously countersignaling me, and so he's out of the movement.
00:08:39.000Maybe this was put together by globalist Hollywood producers to subvert MAGA people.
00:08:46.000And if MAGA Trump people are watching the show, they're ingesting a normalization of gender fluid people and adopting non white people or adopting people outside of your clan and all of that.
00:08:59.000And my school of thought was that this is pushing people in the right direction.
00:09:21.000It has never been as far left as it is right now, where the things that are on television today would be unimaginable.
00:09:29.000Just five years ago, just five years ago, things would be unimaginable that you see on television today with regularity and horizontally and vertically, in the sense that it's all the shows have some element of it across the board, whether it's CBS, ABC, Fox.
00:09:46.000I mean, they all have some component that is off, that is political, that is hard left.
00:09:51.000And then depending on the show, it could be very intense.
00:09:54.000You know, some shows it's less, some shows it's just outrageous.
00:10:01.000Like Law and Order, or these crime type shows where they just reenact political events and inject it with their political narrative.
00:10:08.000They did a show on SVU about Charlottesville.
00:10:11.000They did a show that was about the Proud Boys.
00:10:13.000They did a show where somebody was obsessed with fake news and that kind of thing.
00:10:19.000And so I think when you look at the landscape today, where it's never been worse, people can't catch a break, where every show is, it's got the pamphlet of characters.
00:10:29.000You know, you got the wheelchair, you got the Asian, you got the black guy, you got the.
00:10:33.000Based, you know, strong woman and all the rest.
00:10:35.000You've got political messaging that's overt.
00:10:38.000Sometimes it's very covert and implicit.
00:10:42.000You know, modern family is the best example where it's a show about essentially the show is just a Marxist deconstruction of the traditional family.
00:10:51.000You know, many people think of it as, well, this is a reflection of society.
00:10:59.000When in actuality, what it does is it upholds these alternative lifestyles, these These non normative lifestyles and says these are equivalent, these are the same.
00:11:10.000You know, a dad and a mom and their kids well, it's just the same as homosexuals or as you know, an old bastard marrying a young fiery Latina in a second marriage.
00:11:20.000You know, it's all it's just all the same, it's all equal.
00:11:23.000And there's a show like Blackish where it's just so over the top.
00:11:27.000Where, of course, the black family that's portrayed in that show they're educated and they're wealthy and they're very friendly and they're just like you and me and they live in a nice neighborhood.
00:11:38.000Which is a very accurate representation of the black community, right?
00:11:42.000When we look at some of the numbers about the black community, a stable two-parent household with a median income or an income of over $100,000, you know, and the house is clean and everybody's on the straight and narrow, of course, this is very typical.
00:11:55.000This is very statistically reflective.
00:11:58.000But then on top of that, you have the characters in this show where all the white people are babies or racists.
00:12:04.000You know, they're all either goofs or they're villains.
00:12:06.000And so then I think when you look at Roseanne in the context of what has been going on with television in the past two years, and I think this is a step in the right direction, there are components that we don't like.
00:12:17.000There are components that are outright dangerous, that are outright villainous.
00:12:24.000They're outright not good in a word or in two words, where you have, you know, these characters which are there.
00:12:31.000And you could, I think you could make a case if you watch the actual episode that the gender non conforming kid is there as like an all in the family type situation to contrast kind of where the country is at.
00:12:43.000Because if you watch the episode, you know, it wasn't like they were saying, Here's this gender nonconforming kid, and he's the new norm, and he's the best, and isn't this okay?
00:12:52.000The parents were actually ridiculing him.
00:12:54.000They were saying, What the hell is going on?
00:13:20.000It spotlights white working class issues.
00:13:23.000What other show on television is talking about the skyrocketing cost of health care, about prescription medications, about white people that are struggling in middle America who support Donald Trump because they're getting killed economically?
00:13:37.000I think that if you look at it on net, and the alt right loves looking at things on net when it favors them, not so much when it doesn't, I think it's a good show.
00:13:48.000You know, this is something everybody should be watching.
00:13:50.000That's not to say this is perfect or ideal, but I think what we have to look at in terms of our goals is the goal of normalization.
00:13:59.000And this is what the left has been trying to prevent since the 2016 election, which is to say that when they went out and they protested for the women's march, and they went out and they protested the executive order for the travel ban, and they went out and they protested for the gun ban, and Chuck Schumer refuses to work with Trump, refuses to meet with Trump, refuses to vote with Trump, and the media refuses to do things like, you know, bring on Trump's.
00:14:25.000What the left understands better than our own side is that if Trump is ever normalized, if he is ever seen as at the very least benign or, God forbid, normal, just a standard Republican president, they know it's all over for them.
00:14:41.000They know all the chips come crashing down.
00:14:44.000Because if Donald Trump, who has said Muslims should be banned from entering the country, we need to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, appealed even to the people at Charlottesville, said they were fine people for protesting.
00:14:57.000The destruction of their heritage and their history and their culture.
00:15:00.000If that guy becomes a normal Republican, yeah, he was just a normal Republican president.
00:15:06.000And maybe an unpopular one, maybe an unsuccessful one, maybe one that went back on his promises, maybe one that was a little bit silly and we didn't like for a little while.
00:15:15.000But if he gets normalized and people say, yeah, well, that's just, you know, your standard Republican President Donald Trump, then it's over.
00:15:24.000Because if the Republican Party ever wakes up and they become stridently anti globalist, not just anti high taxes, not just anti socialism and all of that, but if we have a Republican or an American or a white electorate, which is opposed to globalism and globalists and is opposed to the establishment and the parties and the banks and the Wall Street, And all the rest, then they're in for real trouble.
00:15:52.000And I think that if we look at this show in terms of that goal, which we've been trying steadily for for a long time, which the Democrats have been screaming bloody murder every day to prevent that from happening.
00:16:03.000Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, you know, the news media, they do this every day where they say, they get out on stage every day.
00:16:11.000Well, you will not believe what Trump's up to today.
00:16:13.000And that is in an attempt to shore up this left wing standard, this left wing.
00:16:20.000Monopoly on politics and on the dialogue and on all the rest because they know that if there's a crack, if Donald Trump can show that the system bleeds, then we know that the system can die and we can destroy it.
00:16:32.000And I think Roseanne contributes to that goal.
00:16:52.000It humanizes the white working class that voted for him.
00:16:56.000It does a lot of things metapolitically that I think we should not be so quick to turn our noses up at because it's not exactly ideal.
00:17:04.000I mean, just imagine if the left turned their noses up at every incremental advance that they made in the culture.
00:17:10.000You know, look at some of the movies that come out where they have some very overt left wing undertones, but, you know, by and large, there's maybe traditional elements there.
00:17:25.000The left wing media hates nothing more than young, straight, white men who love their country and all the rest.
00:17:31.000And so here's a movie that's about Spider Man, and oh, you know, he's slinging webs, he's doing all this great stuff.
00:17:36.000And then intermixed in it, you have Zendaya from Disney Channel saying, oh, the Washington Monument was built by slaves, and there's all kinds of race mixing, and there's, you know, interracial romance going on.
00:17:47.000And imagine if the left said, you know what, Spider Man features a white, heterosexual male protagonist.
00:17:55.000And so even though this is the blockbuster.
00:17:58.000Of the decade, even though this is one of the biggest superhero movies of the year, and this will be screened to millions of people, and they'll be seeing this stuff about interracial and this stuff about America's history.
00:18:09.000Yeah, we don't want it because it's not all the way there.
00:18:12.000I mean, just imagine we have to start thinking like the left, taking what we can get here.
00:18:17.000And in Hollywood, this is pretty much as good as it's going to get for network television.
00:18:50.000We got to move right along into the bigger news, which there's so much going on here.
00:18:55.000I guess we'll talk about the Inspector General report, which is really a white pill here.
00:19:00.000Now, apparently the Inspector General's report is not expected now for another couple of months.
00:19:04.000We were under the impression on the show, and I think the American people were under the impression that the inspector general's report was coming out in March or April because they extended the deadline in fall, and they said it's coming out in March or April.
00:19:17.000Well, now they extended the deadline again.
00:19:19.000Now it's not coming out for another several months, but for very good reason.
00:19:23.000It turns out that today the inspector general has reported that the IG Horowitz is now looking into the FISA abuses by the FISA courts during the Obama administration.
00:19:34.000I'll read you his statement, what he had to say about it.
00:19:39.000He said, and this is the Office of the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who says, The OIG, which is the Office of the Inspector General under the Justice Department, the OIG will initiate a review that will examine the Justice Department's and the Federal Bureau of Investigations compliance with legal requirements and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures and applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the FISA courts, relating to a certain U.S. person.
00:20:08.000As part of this examination, the OIG also will review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source.
00:20:19.000So, folks, I think we're going to see some very good stuff coming in this OIG report.
00:20:25.000The OIG has spent the last year investigating the FBI's handling of the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton email private server.
00:20:34.000He was able to obtain thousands of emails that were deleted by Hillary Clinton.
00:20:38.000And he's been doing that for about a year.
00:20:40.000He's been looking into other things, Clinton pay to play at the Clinton Foundation, things going on in the Obama administration.
00:20:45.000And now he's turning his attention here to the FISA courts where there was obviously a clear abuse.
00:20:51.000Where you look at the Nunes memo, if you look at some reports that came out today about the connection between Comey and the Obama administration, I mean, this is just a lob.
00:21:12.000I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still a very tough fight and we are still in it.
00:21:16.000But I think this OIG report is going to be our ace in the hole.
00:21:20.000And only because you look at Michael Horowitz, and not many people know this about Michael Horowitz because they don't, for whatever reason, they don't talk about the OIG even so much on Fox News.
00:21:28.000They talk about it a lot on 4chan and things like that, but they ignore it completely in the mainstream media.
00:21:34.000Fox News, you don't hear about it very much.
00:21:37.000But this Michael Horowitz guy is a Boy Scout.
00:21:40.000He served under Bush, he served under Obama.
00:21:48.000And so you have somebody in this administration, and here's a good thing for why he's pushing Obama, why he served under both a Republican and a Democratic administration.
00:21:57.000You might say, oh, well, that means he's swamp.
00:21:59.000But if his reputation is integrity, and he served under Democratic and Republican administrations, if he's in the Department of Justice, he just got a quarter of a billion dollars from this omnibus spending bill.
00:22:11.000The bill that was passed on Friday said that none of the money, the $1.3 trillion, Appropriated for the federal government could be used to impede the OIG's investigation.
00:22:22.000If he's got all these resources, he's got a sterling reputation, he's got some kind of credibility in the eyes of the media because he served under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
00:22:33.000If he's going in and he's finding the obvious, the blatant, naked abuses of James Comey, of Barack Obama, of Hillary Clinton, of the FBI, of the intelligence community, the FISA courts, and all the rest.
00:22:47.000You know that this is our ace in the hole here.
00:22:50.000If this report is everything it's cracked up to be, if Michael Horowitz is who people say he is, then this is going to knock it out of the park.
00:22:57.000This would drive not just, I think, a very successful bid in 2018.
00:23:01.000I think the Democrats know they're going to get caught with their pants down with this.
00:23:05.000But this could also trigger some very serious institutional reforms in terms of surveillance, in terms of how the bureaucracy operates.
00:23:13.000If this is successful, if he proves that this is worse than Watergate, as many congressmen who have been given some briefs about what is contained in the report have said, or the Nunes memo that came out, or Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham's report about the Steele dossier, then we could use this as a pretext to seriously clean house in the intelligence community.
00:23:33.000In the defense apparatus and all the rest.
00:23:35.000So I'm very, I am highly encouraged by what we're seeing with the inspector general and his report.
00:23:41.000It's a good sign that it's taken so long.
00:23:44.000It's a good sign that Jeff Sessions has been kept out of the limelight, that we have all these unsealed indictments.
00:23:50.000I think we're really going to see something solid here.
00:23:52.000Because with the FISA courts, I mean, what you saw with the Steele dossier and McCabe, who was just fired, McCabe, the former director of the FBI, who said that the FISA courts could not have spied on Donald Trump if they did not have the Steele dossier.
00:24:09.000The people who made it were literally in bed, literally sleeping with people in the FBI, sleeping with people who got the warrant in the first place.
00:24:17.000I think it's so obvious the abuses here.
00:24:19.000And if the OIG nails them on it, we're really talking about a paradigm shift.
00:24:23.000So that's another big encouragement that we see today and will be forthcoming, I guess, in the rest of the year.
00:24:29.000I misspoke the other day when I said that this report was forthcoming this month or next month.
00:24:34.000I guess it's not due now for a couple of months, which I guess as close as the midterms as we can get with it, the better.
00:24:40.000The greater effect, the more optimal of an effect it will have.
00:24:44.000And so I have a lot of confidence that this will be a game changer here.
00:24:52.000And I guess this kind of goes along with it.
00:24:54.000We're going to talk a little bit about the midterms, and of course, the OIG will have an impact on it.
00:24:58.000But we saw another very encouraging thing from Breitbart today.
00:25:02.000Or actually, Breitbart was summarizing a report by The Hill.
00:25:06.000And so The Hill did a report today that said the top Democrats are looking at the Stormy Daniels story, and they're going to be campaigning on that.
00:25:14.000In 2018, you had a top Democrat strategist saying it's going to be an all of the above campaign in 2018.
00:25:20.000They're going to hit him on Stormy Daniels.
00:25:22.000They're going to be running with that in 2018.
00:25:24.000And so we look at that story from the Hill.
00:25:26.000We look at the two new polls out by CNN and the Associated Press from March, which show the president at a 42% approval rating, and that's this week, up from seven points last month.
00:25:38.000The CNN poll has him at his highest approval rating in 11 months.
00:25:43.000You look at the spending, and this is nothing new, but The fundraising for 2017 by the Republicans, they ended the year with $39 million cash on hand, no debt, and they raised $132.5 million.
00:25:58.000The Democratic National Committee took in $66 million, so about half of what the Republicans took in.
00:26:05.000They have $6.5 million cash on hand, which is, what is that?
00:26:11.000About a sixth of what the Republicans have, and they owe $6.1 million in debt.
00:26:17.000And so we look at all these factors, and I know many people have been saying, because last week was a rough week between Bolton and the omnibus bill and the bump stock ban.
00:26:26.000People are saying this is a very depressing week.
00:26:29.000We had a very white pilling episode yesterday, very encouraging episode yesterday.
00:26:33.000And today they just keep coming, the OIG report.
00:26:36.000And we look at how the 2018 midterms were unfolded.
00:26:39.000And although we've seen in the past, we saw in our coverage, maybe it's us, maybe it's America First that's doing the harm here, because every time we cover an election live, it goes very poorly.
00:26:53.000Election in Alabama on December, we got slaughtered.
00:26:56.000And many people said, you know, was that a sign of the Republicans and how they'll be able to turn out in 2018, or was that just a bad candidate, a bad election where we got this weird guy, Roy Moore, who the MAGA candidate was Mo Brooks, the establishment candidate was Luther Strange, and we got Roy Moore out of nowhere, this kind of goofy, you know, evangelical anachronism here in Alabama.
00:27:20.000And I don't say that to disparage evangelical, but he was like a Bush era conservative.
00:27:26.000Running in Alabama, and he got creamed.
00:27:28.000We wondered, was that him or was that us?
00:27:30.000Pennsylvania, the most recent special election in the 18th district, and we saw we got slaughtered there.
00:27:36.000And it was a slaughter not because Rick Sacon, the Republican, got beaten by significant margins, but because it was a district that leaned 20% Republican in just about every election for 15 years.
00:27:48.000And it went in favor by a small margin, but it did go in favor of Connor Lamb.
00:27:54.000And we looked at some of the numbers in Illinois, we looked at the numbers in Texas and their primaries, and we got, I think, somewhat dismayed.
00:28:01.000Because we saw sign on top of sign on top of sign.
00:28:04.000Even though you could look at any given one of those elections or primaries, you could say, well, in Alabama, it was Roy Moore.
00:28:11.000In Pennsylvania, Conor Lamb was just the perfect, literally the perfect candidate.
00:28:16.000In Illinois, you had an unpopular governor who was terrible.
00:28:19.000In Texas, you might have had double the Democratic turnout, but Republicans still turned out at record numbers anyway.
00:28:26.000I think we saw so many of those episodes in a row that maybe it beat us back because I certainly, for the past couple of weeks, have been.
00:28:33.000A little bit discouraged about 2018 and our chances in the midterms.
00:28:37.000Because you see episode after episode from Alabama to Pennsylvania to Illinois to Texas, where it looks like the MAGA agenda is getting beaten down.
00:28:46.000But when you peel back the layers and you step aside, or rather, you step away from all these bad examples, these particular examples, and you look at just the general numbers here where the polling has never been better.
00:28:59.000If CNN is saying that Trump has a 42% approval rating, you know it's much, much higher.
00:29:04.000And by the way, if you even break down how the data.
00:29:08.000If you break down the data, you find that whites support Trump by a margin of, I think, 48%.
00:29:14.000Men support President Trump by a margin of 55%.
00:29:17.000Republicans support President Trump by a margin of 80%.
00:29:30.000If you break down the data and you look at the numbers that Donald Trump needs to turn out in the midterms, or even for that matter, You break down which voters turn out in midterm elections anyway.
00:29:42.000We know that Democrats don't turn out in the midterms.
00:29:45.000We know that young people don't turn out in the midterms.
00:29:47.000We know that Hispanics don't turn out very much for regular elections in a presidential election year.
00:29:53.000He's hitting all the marks, at least in the polling, that he would need for a sizable comeback, and not even a comeback, but to keep the MAGA revolution going in 2018 and 2020.
00:30:04.000He's hitting those marks in the polling.
00:30:08.000Republicans are raising double the money as the Democrats, and that tells us something.
00:30:13.000Not just in terms of, you know, well, they have more money than us.
00:30:16.000And people might say, well, does the money tell us so much?
00:30:19.000Maybe not in and of itself, because of course, Hillary Clinton spent more money than Donald Trump.
00:30:23.000And look at the result there Barack Obama spent, you know, an ungodly sum of money.
00:30:29.000And he lost support from 2008 to 2012, right?
00:30:34.000I mean, he didn't lose the election, but he lost support from 2008 to 2012 despite spending a lot more money.
00:30:40.000And so maybe the money in and of itself doesn't tell you anything, but it tells you something that, There's donations pouring into the Republican Party.
00:30:48.000If Donald Trump were doing a bad job, if Republicans were dismayed, if they weren't going to show up in 2018, they wouldn't be able to fundraise like they're able to fundraise.
00:30:56.000Not only does it tell us that people are donating, that the donors are charged up, that they want 2018 to be successful, but additionally, it tells us that the infrastructure is there.
00:31:05.000Not only do you have money pouring in, but you have the infrastructure.
00:31:11.000You're having a good infrastructure to be able to bring the vote out.
00:31:15.000And remember, when that money is spent, a lot of that money, what Republicans do really well, And speaking as somebody who campaigned for Republican candidates throughout the 2016 election year, Republicans do a very good job with how they spend their money.
00:31:27.000They use it to buy data, they use it to develop apps to campaign more effectively.
00:31:32.000And this is something different than the Democrats.
00:31:34.000I remember campaigning for Donald Trump in New Hampshire, and we saw many Clinton campaigners on our way there.
00:31:40.000And the difference between our campaign and their campaign was that the Republicans were using an electronic system where you could go on the app, you downloaded like the Victory 2016 app, and it would tell you which houses to target, which houses to go to.
00:32:13.000In each of these cases, you know, whether it was Alabama, Alabama was a referendum on Trump, but for the media and for the Democrats, and Roy Moore forced Republican turnout back, right?
00:32:26.000Crazy turnout for the Democrats in that election was because Roy Moore was a bad guy and he's just like Donald Trump and it's all this bad stuff.
00:32:34.000And it was enough that Republicans stayed home because Roy Moore was this kind of an oddball character and didn't have a lot of money and didn't campaign.
00:32:42.000And Luther Strange, or rather not Luther Strange, Doug Jones had the support of the media and he rode in on this anti Trump stuff.
00:32:49.000In Pennsylvania, you had a candidate who was pitching the MAGA agenda.
00:32:53.000You had Conor Lamb who didn't go out there and campaign on.
00:32:58.000Drumpf is sleeping with porn stars and all the rest.
00:33:01.000He went out there and campaigned on the opioid epidemic.
00:33:04.000He went out and campaigned on healthcare infrastructure.
00:33:07.000And you look at where the Democrats are in terms of their messaging.
00:33:11.000And despite the fact that they can win a special election here or there where there's crazy circumstances, despite the fact that they're turning out good numbers in the primaries, they will not be able to turn out numbers in 2018 because they do not have a message.
00:33:25.000In states like Missouri, In states like Montana, in the swing states where there's Democratic incumbents defending Senate seats, in states where Donald Trump won, they're not going to be able to pull it off.
00:33:35.000And so, of course, the Democrats lose the Senate.
00:33:38.000I don't know if they even win the House.
00:33:40.000I don't know if they come close in the House.
00:33:42.000Because although the media is trying so hard to spin it that there's this enthusiasm gap, that Donald Trump's having a real problem, that all of this bad stuff is happening, by just about every metric that we can look at objectively, that we can look at numbers and not look at kind of this pie in the sky stuff and individual candidates where there's They're outliers.
00:34:02.000We look at all numbers that are looking very favorably for Republicans.
00:34:06.000So I would say to anybody who is thinking it's over, Trump's getting impeached, we're dead in the water, don't bother campaigning, don't bother voting, that's exactly what the media wants you to think.
00:34:17.000They did this in 2016, they're already doing it in 2018.
00:34:20.000And the goal here, when they put this kind of stuff out, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
00:34:26.000If they go out there on television every day and tell Trump voters, you're going to lose, you're going to lose.
00:34:48.000And we look at some of the things Trump has been doing, and I happen to believe that if he doesn't get his act together on immigration, on the wall, on some of his more popular promises, if he doesn't deliver on some more things before the election, if we don't see a good IG report, if we don't see a good infrastructure bill, and we don't see at least a beginning of the wall by the midterms, all of this can change.
00:35:10.000But that said, we have a remarkable opportunity still in 2018.
00:35:14.000For people that think it's over, for people that think, You know, it's basically time to read Siege because the end of the world is coming.
00:35:43.000Get to your local GOP, get to your county GOP meetings, volunteer for a campaign.
00:35:48.000I don't care how much you dislike this guy.
00:35:50.000Or the guy, whoever it is, a congressional candidate, a candidate for Senate, unless it's somebody like Bruce Rauner, you got to bite the bullet and do it.
00:36:09.000So if you want to get in on that, on the 2018 talk, remember to sign up on Maker Support because we'll be getting into a lot of the details about the polling, about individual states.
00:36:57.000Many people speculated that Kim Jong un was visiting China over the weekend because a very mysterious green train pulled into the station in Beijing, and there was a motorcade and lots of security.
00:37:08.000And so people speculated that it was Kim Jong un, and it turned out it was.
00:37:13.000They had a big photo op, they were taking pictures, they had a little bit of a conference there.
00:37:17.000And so Kim Jong un met with Xi Jinping, the president of China.
00:37:21.000And I think this just goes to show that we're in a very good position here with this North Korea summit.
00:37:25.000I think this just goes to show that we are positioning ourselves very well, that this diplomacy is real.
00:37:31.000It's not a farce, because what you're seeing is movement, not just with North Korea and China, but Japan now wants a summit with North Korea.
00:37:38.000South Korea will have a summit with North Korea.
00:37:40.000This is unprecedented, the extent to which we are seeing meetings and diplomacy and all these different things taking place.
00:37:47.000And so Kim Jong un went to China, and the experts say that the reason that this visit happened, they haven't visited with each other before.
00:38:03.000Many people believe the reason for the meeting was so that China could remind North Korea who's the boss, essentially, who has the leverage here, that North Korea is still dependent on China, and they say that China's mad that they got left out of the process, that Kim Jong un is going to meet with President Trump, and China, it seems like, was boxed out of the negotiations.
00:38:46.000I think it just goes to show that the diplomacy is real and it's going to happen.
00:38:50.000And if it does, if all of this is legitimate, you understand that this is world changing.
00:38:56.000That Donald Trump, if he achieves what he has sought out to achieve here since his inauguration, this strategy with North Korea, this changes world history.
00:39:06.000That means we've turned the page on 30, 40, 50 years of globalist doctrine, really, realistically, like 30 years since George H.W. Bush, on all of that neocon.
00:39:19.000War mongering, nation building doctrine, and now we are firmly in the Trump era.
00:39:24.000And so, if he pulls this off, you understand that that's probably the biggest inflection point in the history of our country, one of the biggest inflection points in the history of our country and how we deal with foreign nations.
00:39:35.000This would set a precedent for Iran, this would set a precedent for Syria, for our policy in the Middle East, even for Russia, even for China, possibly.
00:39:46.000I think if you look at all the different signs that are associated with this meeting, I know a lot of people are pessimistic for different reasons.
00:39:52.000A lot of people think Kim Jong un is just wasting our time.
00:39:57.000He's going to get his nuclear program in the end and all the rest.
00:40:00.000I think if you look at what's going on, the underlying signs here that President Trump is keeping the pressure up with the sanctions, with the military exercises, I think we are poised for a very, very big foreign policy win in April or in May, whenever the summit happens, and depending on what the results are.
00:40:18.000Because we know that Donald Trump, he's a great negotiator.
00:40:21.000When it gets down to it, and even with foreign nations, I think he does it very well.
00:40:25.000And if he's able to pull this off, that's not just good for the country, not just good for our sons and daughters who don't have to go fight and die in a foreign land so they could build a Rothschild's bank, but it'd also be good, as always, for the midterms.
00:40:38.000I always got to draw it back to the midterms because that'll be a big win.
00:40:41.000You know, foreign policy victories tend to go over very well.
00:40:44.000So we're keeping an eye on that as well.
00:40:47.000Many developments to come on the North Korea situation.
00:40:50.000I'm excited to see where it's going to be held, I'm excited to see the details.
00:42:39.000Is V that, he's that Romanian fellow, right?
00:42:43.000Butt Mountain says, New listener going through old shows, missing context, but you had said democracy slash liberalism had failed and insinuated that fascism is preferable.
00:42:58.000I don't know if I said that fascism is preferable, but I certainly believe that democracy and liberalism are failure.
00:43:03.000I think these ideologies have not stood the test of time.
00:43:07.000It's only been about 150 years of liberalism, of widespread liberal democracy and thorough liberal democracy.
00:43:15.000You know, Britain really didn't embrace parliamentary sovereignty until the 19th century.
00:43:21.000Europe, really, the whole of Europe has not embraced democracy until or since very recently, the 20th century, really.
00:43:30.000And I think it simply hasn't stood the test of time.
00:43:32.000It's been, what, about 70 years of democracy in Germany?
00:43:36.000And they're literally committing suicide as a country.
00:43:39.000They're literally, you know, figuratively, I guess, actually figuratively, just taking a big gun, a big shotgun to their head and blowing their brains out.
00:43:49.000Is called immigration, and the person holding the gun is called the globalist, or they go by other names.
00:43:55.000But essentially, what you've seen in the West, whether it's Germany or Britain or Spain or France, is that liberalism and democracy has driven them, these progressive and disruptive ideologies, to discard their traditions, discard convention, discard the continuity of their countries, scorn their ancestors, forsake their children, and has plunged them into debt and economic ruin.
00:44:24.000I mean, I think that there's simply no disputing the fact that democracy and liberalism has failed, that it's just a theology, really, if you can call it an ideology, even.
00:44:36.000It's something that hasn't stood the test of time.
00:44:38.000It's built on top of nothing, and the metaphysics are fundamentally corrupt.
00:44:42.000Now, I don't know if the solution is fascism per se, but I think that we need some kind of a natural aristocracy.
00:44:49.000I think we need some kind of a Caesar in the country, at least in the interim, to vanguard.
00:44:54.000Our country from democracy back into what the country was originally intended to be, which was a constitutional republic that had a natural aristocracy, that had a natural hierarchy.
00:45:06.000So I don't know if, you know, fascism is a very loaded term.
00:45:08.000You get called a lot of things if you say suddenly you're for fascism, but certainly I would not rule it out that we should have a form of a natural aristocracy.
00:45:17.000We should have a stronger patriotic leader in the country.
00:45:22.000I don't know if that's a fascist dictator, but it's certainly got to be an executive who wields his authority properly.
00:45:28.000Breaks the back of the judiciary and of the legislature sufficiently so that we could get the financial interest out and develop some degree of patriotic corporatism that the kinds of companies which have gotten so much power and grown to such prominence in the country are brought to heel and serve the national interest.
00:45:46.000So I wouldn't say maybe that's fascism.
00:45:48.000If that's fascism, I guess, you know, maybe it is.
00:45:50.000But I'm just for what was sensible before the French Revolution, as Evola said.
00:46:17.000I see him in the live chat every now and again.
00:46:19.000I got to say, I like his content as much as I'd like to not like his content because, you know, he does the.
00:46:25.000I don't want to say the wrong thing because he always, you know, you say I'm a Satanist, but I'm actually this, or you say I'm a pagan, but I'm actually this.
00:46:33.000I mean, as much as I'd like to not like him because he's kind of this hippy dippy character, he makes great content.
00:46:39.000I look at his tweets and I say, yeah, like that's correct, right on.
00:46:43.000And it's so surprising to me because, you know, I'm a traditionalist, I'm Christian, and all the rest.
00:46:48.000And it's just funny how we find such strange bedfellows in this fight against globalism, in this fight against the system, the establishment, right?
00:46:57.000And I think this is something even Spencer talks about.
00:47:00.000I don't agree with Spencer on everything, but he said that, you know, Bernie bros are the next ones to come over.
00:47:04.000Not that, like, Styx is a Bernie bros, but certainly he's somebody who is not a traditionalist, who is not what you would think of.
00:47:10.000When you think, you know, reactionary or ultra conservative, as I would describe myself.
00:47:15.000But we find ourselves on the same team because, in many ways, we're fighting for similar things, at least in the short term, the medium to short term.
00:47:53.000So, even Paul Nealon, you know, people are like, Nick, why'd you have to go and say things about Paul Nealon?
00:47:58.000Like, I didn't start out saying anything nasty at all.
00:48:01.000I started out saying, you know, he's a good man, he's courageous, I support his right to speak, but I think he's not campaigning as effectively as he could be.
00:50:10.000And he's not really ever able to achieve what he wants to achieve.
00:50:14.000But what's inspiring about the story, what's notable, and where the adjective quixotic comes from, describing Quixote, Was that there is something almost Faustian about it?
00:50:24.000To invoke another literary illusion, a German one, there's something Faustian in the quixotic story, which is that there's this longing for a dream that it's impossible, it's difficult, maybe it is impossible, who knows?
00:50:39.000But there's something to be said, there's something to be valued and admired in that you're just gonna go for it anyway because you're a dreamer.
00:50:46.000And this is maybe a Mediterranean mindset, maybe a Spanish mindset, but I think that captures the nature of our movement.
00:51:01.000I got to tell you, I was very blackpilled today.
00:51:04.000You know, I mean, looking at what we're up against, just in terms of how they're crushing us with censorship, they're crushing us politically with television.
00:51:11.000I mean, just everywhere you look, the empire is striking back, so to speak.
00:51:16.000But there is something quixotic about the movement that it's worth doing because it's hard.
00:51:21.000It wouldn't be worth doing if it wasn't.
00:51:22.000And it's worth doing because we care so deeply about it.
00:51:26.000I was tweeting that out for all my literature fans, for all my Castizo futurists out there.
00:53:56.000And I think that was the spirit of the founding.
00:53:57.000I think the founding fathers understood that aristocracy, you could have an aristocracy that is really a meritocracy.
00:54:05.000That maybe an aristocracy would function better if it wasn't by bloodline, where you could get incompetent people, where eventually it could become corrupted and dysgenic.
00:54:14.000Where, if you have a meritocracy, and we had an aristocracy in this country for a hundred years, we had an Anglo Saxon aristocracy for a long time before it gradually was subverted by another aristocracy, another ethno nationalist, you know, ethno religious aristocracy.
00:54:32.000We had one, and it was based on merit, and it was very good, and it worked.
00:54:36.000But now we have an aristocracy which doesn't work because it's people that don't love our country.
00:54:41.000The problem becomes when we have a whole estate in the country which hates the country and hates the.
00:58:44.000It's actually a very good thing as long as it's organic, as long as it's natural.
00:58:48.000The reason we like monarchism is because monarchism is what you call a repository institution.
00:58:55.000The monarchy acts as a stabilizer to prevent against passions from going too far in one or the other direction.
00:59:02.000So, in Britain, for example, if the monarchy were still powerful, maybe when the parliament said, hey, let's demographically remake our country, the king, the monarch could have said, actually, we're not going to do that.
00:59:15.000Even though they got democratically elected, even though there's popular support for it, maybe, even though there's financial interest in favor of it, yeah, we're going to not do that because I'm the king and I have to protect my culture, my heritage, my ancestors, and my realm.
00:59:31.000That's why a king is a good thing sometimes.
00:59:34.000Now, in our country, we have checks and balances, we have separation of government, we have federalism, all things the founders put in place to do that, I guess, systematically, as opposed to having a personality, a monarch doing that.
00:59:49.000System checks to prevent against one side going too far or the other side going too far.
00:59:54.000But that's why a monarchy is a good thing because it keeps the ancestors of the country just as much as a part of the country as the present and keeps the posterity just as mind in the country as the present.
01:00:07.000I mean, that's really what we have a tyranny.
01:00:09.000What hyper capitalism does is it creates a tyranny of the present where it's all about us and us now and our consumption needs now.
01:00:20.000Never mind we're selling our country, never mind.
01:00:23.000All the things we're doing are damaging to the legacy of our ancestors and will be damaging to what we give to our children.
01:01:02.000The thing that destroyed the family and the institutions and the heritage, that makes him, he doesn't sufficiently support gay marriage and abortion and demographic change.
01:01:12.000That means he is actually the liberal.
01:01:16.000I don't know if the end of monarchies was Talmudic.
01:01:19.000I mean, it could have been, I guess, if you look at the French Revolution and some of the actors there or the Bolsheviks and what happened there where they went in and, you know, they didn't just revolt.
01:01:43.000Solzhenitsyn wrote that, and he's a smart guy, and he knew it.
01:01:47.000The Russian Revolution, there was nothing Russian about it because Russians, you know, they might not have liked a, what would you call that?
01:02:17.000I was wondering how, as a Catholic, you reconcile the universality of Christianity with factors like race, culture, and IQ.
01:02:25.000For instance, do Papua New Guinea tribesmen have the same capacity to understand and connect to God?
01:02:32.000I don't think there is a contradiction between the universality of Christianity and any of those things.
01:02:37.000I don't think at any point in the Christian theology, Does it say that every single person is created in the same way?
01:02:46.000I actually believe in the gospel it says you're supposed to do what you can with what you have.
01:02:51.000And even its official Catholic canon, if I'm not mistaken, what Catholic apologists say on the matter of, you know, for example, the question of Native Americans who, through no fault of their own, could have never met God before they were connected with the old world.
01:03:05.000God can save people through grace if they've lived a good life.
01:03:08.000And so I think that's similar to people who might not be able to access God through reason and understanding.
01:03:14.000But I don't think there's anything that contradicts.
01:03:17.000That contradicts what we find empirically about race and IQ in the Christian doctrine.
01:03:22.000I mean, this has been, do you think that the predominant idea about race for 2,000 years when Christianity reigned was egalitarianism, right?
01:03:31.000I mean, do you think that when the Spanish conquistadors were in South America, do you think when there was slavery prominent in Europe and this was when we were as Christian as we ever were, do you think there's any question about a contradiction between how we treated people, or rather, how people were?
01:03:49.000So I think it's just a false contradiction.
01:03:53.000Literally shaking says, though clever and constant application of propaganda, or through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see Trump as not normal and to consider the most wretched Democrat as par adis.
01:04:07.000Let's get a trans disabled person of color to go against Trump because he's the not normal one.
01:04:20.000This, like, dying criminal is supposed to be a normal person, or they're going to put up Elizabeth Warren or all these nutjobs.
01:04:28.000And you could say the same, I guess, about Donald Trump, because, you know, at least from a Democratic perspective, you could say, well, he says some outrageous things, but I just think there's no parity between the Democrats and how nuts they are and Republicans, right?
01:05:24.000So, I think that's not, I don't, at least from my perspective, I don't think that should be much of a concern.
01:05:29.000That said, the way that you bring it up to your kids and even my father, as much as my father is a boomer, as much as my dad grew up in the 60s, and so he sees people in a very egalitarian lens, he grew up basically telling us, look, if we were to ever, if there were ever to be some form of things going on, that that would be frowned upon, that would not work.
01:05:50.000And of course, he would still, you know, in typical boomer mentality, which is, I think people see it as gracious, but.
01:05:57.000He would accept and he would try to understand it.
01:06:02.000But it was firmly instilled that that was not really the norm.
01:06:06.000And so I don't know how you go about it with your kid.
01:06:08.000I mean, that's a very sacred relationship between a father and a son.
01:06:11.000I don't have kids, so I've never explained it to them, but I would just simply say, you know, that's just not how we operate.
01:06:17.000And of course, you get much more leeway with your kids than you do if you're making a public statement.
01:06:21.000You know, I would, the things I would tell my kids are not exactly the things I would tell the media or would say on a television show, but I would just say, you know, look, this is our people.
01:06:30.000We like to stick with our people, you know, and all that.
01:06:34.000And I think it's an unnatural tendency anyway.
01:06:36.000I think most people, Are not into the race mixing type stuff, the interracial type stuff.
01:06:42.000I think by and large, that's just simply not most people's preference.
01:06:46.000I think a lot of people do it as a political thing, you know, if they want to make their parents mad or whatever.
01:06:51.000Some people find it attractive, I guess, but I think they're in the minority.
01:06:54.000So I don't think that should be too much of an issue.
01:06:56.000But I would simply say, you know, look, we believe in families.
01:07:00.000We think families should last a long time.
01:07:02.000They last better when it's people who we know, and we like to stick within our own.
