00:00:06.000We've got a great show for you tonight.
00:00:09.000Very excited to be talking about the Supreme Court.
00:00:12.000We were going to get to it last night, but we ran out of time, folks.
00:00:16.000We ran out of time on Migrant Monday, so it's just too jam packed.
00:00:20.000But tonight we'll be getting around to evaluating each and every one of the front runners for President Trump's Supreme Court decision to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy to be announced on Monday, confirmed after Labor Day.
00:05:13.000But before we get into the issues, after our little Fourth of July celebration, before we get into the Supreme Court, and I've got a big whiteboard drawn up, it's going to be a whiteboard day.
00:05:24.000But before we get into that, I've been in some hot water today.
00:05:28.000I don't know if you've seen this on Twitter.com.
00:06:08.000But so today I tweeted, That I said, I don't understand why people are so upset about the Annapolis shooting in Maryland, because after all, journalists are only a clump of cells, much like a tumor.
00:06:23.000And many people took this as condoning violence, justifying violence, calling for violence, being insensitive to violence, and these are low IQ complaints.
00:06:35.000The spirit of the tweet was not about violence, it was not even about journalists.
00:06:40.000Of course, if you are a political savant like myself, if you are a high IQ, You know, this is a clear reference to the left's rhetoric on abortion.
00:06:51.000The left says, well, abortion is not murder because a human fetus is a clump of cells, like a cancer tumor or like cancer cells.
00:06:59.000This is the argument we get from the left.
00:07:01.000And if anybody had half a brain, if anybody had half the IQ that we do, we're high brain power on this show, they would understand that.
00:07:08.000But they said this is a call for violence.
00:07:11.000Nick wakes up and he calls for violence against journalists, which of course never happened.
00:10:44.000He knows that I love the nation of Israel.
00:10:47.000Got lots of love for the nation of Israel, both the country as well as the diaspora community, referred to, you know, world Jewry sometimes referred to.
00:10:55.000I've got nothing but love for planet Earth and my human beings, my fellow humans.
00:11:02.000So I know deep down he knows my heart.
00:11:30.000We've talked about the cases, we've talked about what that means for our faith in reform within the system.
00:11:38.000But we have not yet discussed just who is going to be the replacement for Anthony Kennedy.
00:11:43.000And so President Trump has a short list of 25 potential nominees.
00:11:48.000Nominees that were under consideration since he ran his campaign.
00:11:51.000He released this list during the campaign.
00:11:54.000He chose Neil Gorsuch off of this list.
00:11:57.000He said that he'll be picking from this list to decide who will be his nominee to replace Anthony Kennedy.
00:12:05.000And so, right now, there are four major frontrunners here that we're going to analyze, and two that I really want to focus in on.
00:12:12.000So, he's been conducting meetings on Monday.
00:12:14.000He's been conducting one on one meetings with potential nominees yesterday and also today.
00:12:20.000I believe he did five interviews yesterday, four interviews today.
00:12:23.000He'll be making an announcement on Monday, and they say that they want a confirmation vote.
00:12:29.000On whoever is going to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court by after Labor Day weekend, before the midterms, after Labor Day weekend.
00:12:37.000So, probably sometime in October, they're looking at it.
00:12:39.000Now, you've got to remember the confirmation process is a lengthy process, and there are a number of difficulties here.
00:12:47.000For starters, we have the obstacle that if Mitch McConnell uses the same rule that he used, or if he does not use the same rule that he used to get Neil Gorsuch through, which is the nuclear option, get rid of the filibuster.
00:13:01.000And jam through a Supreme Court nominee with only 51 votes.
00:13:05.000So we have that obstacle, which is either we have to get 10 Democrats, which would be very difficult, or if we don't need that, if we nuke the filibuster rule and we're able to get through with just 51, then the challenge becomes we need every single Republican to vote for it.
00:13:20.000And if we miss one or two, then we have to compensate that with an equal amount of Democrats.
00:13:30.000If we're looking at people that are controversial, If we're looking at people that have a long judicial record, this involves a lot of oversight, talking about documents, talking about bias, all kinds of things.
00:13:44.000So that's a part of a lengthy process.
00:13:46.000Additionally, we have the midterms that we're looking forward to.
00:13:49.000So we have to have a Supreme Court nominee that at once won't depress Republican turnout and at once can, at the same time, can maybe increase voter turnout.
00:13:59.000Because some of the options people have been saying are options that might make conservatives upset with Trump.
00:14:06.000And there are better options which would really charge up the base for Donald Trump.
00:14:09.000Now, we don't know, we would have to evaluate who those voices are and how legitimate that is, but that's another big consideration.
00:14:15.000So it's a very complicated process here.
00:14:17.000There's a lot of strategy that goes into it.
00:14:19.000It's political, but it's also at the same time judicial, where at once we have to look at getting people through an expedient amount of time.
00:14:28.000We have to look at people that are going to be able to get approved, people that won't too greatly affect the midterms negatively or maybe increase them positively.
00:14:37.000But at the same time, then we also have to look at are they going to be good justices?
00:14:41.000Will they rule in favor of the Constitution in terms of a textualist, originalist judicial philosophy?
00:14:49.000Will they rule conservatively on issues we care about, namely abortion, affirmative action, immigration is a big one that's not really being talked about, and all kinds of other things?
00:14:59.000So those are the big considerations we're looking at.
00:15:02.000And right now, the big frontrunners we've got Raymond Ketledge, we've got Thomas Hardiman.
00:15:08.000And then the two ones we're focusing on, the last two, are Amy Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.
00:15:13.000So I'll be looking at the first two and then the second two in a little bit greater detail with the whiteboard.
00:15:18.000So, first we've got Raymond Kethledge.
00:15:26.000He clerked for Justice Kennedy, and one of the big rulings that he's known for.
00:15:31.000And we can't really go over their whole judicial record.
00:15:33.000We just kind of have to focus on one or two big cases that they presided over.
00:15:37.000In a major case, Carpenter versus U.S., I believe that was decided in this term.
00:15:43.000He said, and this makes me think a lot less of him, he said before the Supreme Court that the government collection of cellular phone location data does not violate the Fourth Amendment.
00:15:54.000So he recalled some very old, arcane precedent to justify government spying on you using your phone, saying they can collect your location data through your telephone because of some very old law, and so it does not violate the Fourth Amendment.
00:16:10.000It's worth noting that got shut down unanimously by the Supreme Court.
00:16:28.000But if we're talking about justices, another big component is the age factor.
00:16:31.000If you have a justice that's 50, that's on the younger side for a Supreme Court justice.
00:16:36.000And implicit in that, given the Supreme Court's tenure, which is either they retire or they die, this is somebody who could potentially serve at minimum maybe 30 years, maximum.
00:16:54.000There's nothing really wrong with any of these picks, and that'll be true with Hardiman as well.
00:16:59.000All of these have been approved by Federalist Societies and Judicial Watch and all kinds of different groups have vetted all 25 candidates.
00:17:09.000And so, all 25 are basically given the thumbs up.
00:17:12.000But if we're looking at someone like Keflage, my judgment just on this case, some of the other cases I've reviewed of his, He's just not somebody I'm really thrilled about.
00:17:21.000I'm not really enthusiastic about him.
00:17:23.000He's not stellar, basically acceptable.
00:17:26.000And given this Fourth Amendment ruling, I would say less than stellar.
00:17:29.000You know, we want to really push back.
00:17:31.000Spying is not a huge issue, obviously, on this show.
00:17:34.000We don't talk about it too much, but it's something where if there's better options, I think we got to go for the better options.
00:17:41.000The second guy we're looking at is Thomas Hardiman, 52 years old.
00:17:45.000He served as a district judge in Pennsylvania.
00:19:07.000And if he was second in line against Gorsuch, Gorsuch has turned out to be a great justice, very reliable, one of the most conservative justices in a long time.
00:20:36.000She's not one of these liberal Catholics.
00:20:40.000And in fact, nine months ago when she was, she had a hearing.
00:20:44.000To be put in place as the circuit judge and Dianne Feinstein, which, you know, people like Feinstein are known for a very anti Christian sentiment for religious reasons.
00:20:54.000And she said that the dogma lives within Amy Barrett.
00:24:10.000Guy out of the entire list on this issue.
00:24:12.000He's got the endorsement of Ann Coulter, which is very strong, and many other immigration hawks.
00:24:18.000So, this is a quote from one of the decisions he was a part of in Agri Processor versus NLRB, January 1st, 2008.
00:24:27.000He writes The landmark Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, known as IRCA, forcefully made combating the employment of illegal aliens central to the policy of immigration law.
00:24:42.000So in 2008, he lays down a ruling on immigration, and he says that fighting illegal aliens is central to immigration law.
00:24:50.000Now, if that was it, that would be enough for me to say, this is our guy.
00:24:59.000Fogo de Jão, which is that stupid Brazilian steakhouse, I've never been there, but I know people who go there who I don't particularly care for.
00:25:08.000And the Brazilian stuff is just kind of funky to me, okay?
00:26:15.000So this means you can't just, just for the sake of the free market, you cannot authorize an employer to displace American workers for foreign workers.
00:26:28.000He says basically, and this is what we say on the show he repudiates this idea that employers, that government policy should be getting American workers out in exchange for illegals, in exchange for foreign workers on visas, that kind of thing.
00:26:44.000And then, last but certainly not least, he delivers a ruling in American Meat Institute versus the Department of Agriculture, July 29, 2014.
00:26:55.000Quote, country of origin labeling is justified by the government's historically rooted interest in supporting American manufacturers, farmers, and ranchers.
00:27:07.000Since the early days of the Republic, numerous U.S. laws have sought to further that interest.
00:27:13.000So, this guy, forget everything else, folks.
00:27:16.000This guy is very solid on immigration.
00:27:19.000And if you look at the travel ban decision, if you look at what Trump's up against with the wall, Trying to change immigration policy purely through the federal apparatus, or rather, purely through the executive bureaucratic apparatus.
00:30:29.000This is the issue that a lot of conservative groups are upset about with Kavanaugh.
00:30:33.000They said that in one particular case, he was not extremely pro life, he was only moderately pro life.
00:30:40.000It was a case where a teenager came across the border.
00:30:44.000She was an illegal alien, and she wanted the government to sponsor her abortion.
00:30:48.000And on very narrow grounds, Kavanaugh denied that she had a right to get an abortion by the government or that the government would pay for it or something to that effect.
00:30:58.000And pro life groups said, that's insufficiently pro life.
00:31:01.000And you know, trust me, I'm the most pro life person there is.
00:31:04.000I'm probably the most pro life person you've ever met.
00:31:06.000But that said, if immigration continues the way it is, pro lifers aren't going to win elections.
00:31:12.000They're not going to get in the courts.
00:31:13.000We may have to take a strategic approach.
00:31:17.000We have to dock a little bit for that.
00:31:18.000And Amy Barrett is very, very strong on pro life.
00:31:21.000All the pro life groups say she's a big winner, so that's a plus for her.
00:31:27.000On experience, Kavanaugh's a veteran of the courts.
00:31:30.000He's been around the block, very experienced kind of a guy as a jurist.
00:31:35.000Now, Barrett's very experienced as a professor, and she's been a clerk and she's been a judge, but she does not have as much experience as Kavanaugh, not as thorough experience.
00:31:45.000So, in areas like this, you have to kind of question is there longevity there?
00:31:53.000If you have a veteran judge, you could say, well, there's a proven track record of reliability on certain issues, principles, values, et cetera, there's a certain character.
00:32:02.000That's there, that comes with experience.
00:32:05.000If you're a newbie, you don't really have that track record.
00:32:09.000So, we're going to have to docker for that.
00:32:12.000On the confirmation process, this is a tricky one.
00:32:17.000Kavanaugh served in some controversial roles.
00:32:19.000When he was on the Star, when he drafted the Star Report, when he looked into Vince Foster, when he was on the Bush campaign, well, he wasn't on the Bush campaign, but he looked into election fraud in the 2000 election and decided in favor, or he helped Bush.
00:32:34.000Get the election in 2000 when he only won the electoral vote.
00:32:38.000So there are so many documents to sift through with Kavanaugh.
00:32:42.000There are so many emails and phone calls and records and controversies that it would be a long confirmation process.
00:32:48.000It's dubious if he'd be able to be confirmed by October 1st.
00:33:06.000So, if no Democrats vote for him this time, and if we can't get all 50 Republicans, excluding John McCain and with the addition of Mike Pence, it would be a tough confirmation battle.
00:33:18.000We'd have to get, what's her name, from Alaska.
00:33:22.000We'd have to get all 50 Republican senators, which might not be such an easy thing.
00:33:27.000By contrast, because Barrett is a newbie, she doesn't have that much stuff to go over.
00:33:34.000She just got confirmed nine months ago by all Republicans.
00:33:38.000And two sitting senators, Joe Manchin and Joe Connolly.
00:33:41.000Both are up for re election in 2018 in states that Trump won.
00:33:46.000Joe Connolly in Indiana, Joe Manchin in West Virginia.
00:33:49.000So they'd probably vote for her in the confirmation hearing.
00:33:53.000So if people might say, oh, well, she's extremely pro life, therefore Susan Collins and Murkowski might not vote for her, she might have two supplemental Democrats, which could counter that.
00:34:03.000So she could be a strong pick if you're purely looking at it for the confirmation hearing.
00:34:07.000In terms of support from the base, You have a lot of mobilization against Kavanaugh and a lot of mobilization in favor of Barrett.
00:34:27.000I don't know if it would make a significant impact, but certainly it's a factor.
00:34:31.000And if they're praising him for Barrett, that could be something that really charges up the evangelical base, which they're very in favor of pro life.
00:34:39.000She's by far, I think, one of the strongest pro life choices on the list.
00:37:08.000One of them is I'm working on my Paul Town Hall, which is a podcast.
00:37:13.000It's essentially if you miss this show and you don't have time to go through the details, you can go to Paul Town Hall and just get a top level look at Drudge News.
00:37:23.000People are saying I'm quiet here, so I'll be a little louder.
00:37:47.000Well, I like that you're taking everything in stride.
00:37:50.000I like that you're out there enjoying life.
00:37:52.000You know, a lot of people are very worried about you because you went dark for a couple of months, but it is good to see that you're back and you're doing the Paul Town Halls, which is you've been a content machine lately.
00:38:05.000I mean, there was like a big gap between Paul Town's content kitchen and then some of the Some of the more abstract work you did around March and April.
00:41:14.000And so it was really just, you know, a show that, you know, people who aren't Catholic, people who aren't Christian, you know, they end up in bad places.
00:41:22.000And, you know, I would watch out, Benji Pierce would watch out for that sort of thing, you know, because if you're not Christian, you know, you don't have God's protection and bad stuff happens, you know, you get stopped at a stoplight and you never go anywhere, you know.
00:43:52.000I trust that you're on the case there, looking out for us.
00:43:56.000And saying prayers, and we're praying for you as well.
00:43:58.000You know, we got all of our spiritual brothers that are out there on the front line fighting the demons.
00:44:03.000Because I remember you were actually out there, because we meme, but you were actually out there fighting Reagan battalion who turned out to be literal demons.
00:44:11.000You know, we were looking into their search history and we found some pretty interesting things.
00:44:16.000You were out there on the front lines with.
00:44:18.000Yeah, that stuff messed me up for a while.
00:44:20.000You know, it's just there's some sick people out there, and they're not good people.
00:44:24.000And they're The sickest thing you can think of, you know, it's children, you know, and that sort of thing.
00:44:31.000To them, it's just stuff they want to corrupt and destroy.
00:44:34.000And that's one thing to remember is that, you know, it might get boring, it might get tiring, it might get hard, you know, but at the end of the day, it's worth it because there's bad people that need to be stopped.
00:44:45.000And, you know, the best way you can do it, you know, if you're talking and, you know, make sure you, you know, keep your family safe, but it's a real job, you know, and especially during the Blood Moon, you know, who knows what Benny Palatsky's going to be up and about.
00:45:41.000I'm not a big conspiracy guy, and that's why it's so surprising, you know, that I found this sort of stuff.
00:45:45.000But, you know, speaking about all the different child pornographers, child traffickers, and we don't want to just talk about Jewish people, but, like, it's, you know, you got to watch out for, you know, what music they're listening to, that sort of thing.
00:45:56.000So if there's creative people, so it's not just Jewish people, it's creative people too.
00:46:00.000You just got to make sure that they're, you can have good influences.
00:47:11.000And well, they're ugly, they want power.
00:47:13.000And what do people who want power usually want?
00:47:16.000You know, they want sex, but they're too ugly to get it.
00:47:20.000So, you know, it's especially a lot of inbred communities.
00:47:23.000You know, there's a lot of weirdos that, you know, midgets, that sort of thing.
00:47:26.000People write a lot, you know, you know, they're people.
00:47:30.000I've heard rumors that people, you know, have.
00:47:32.000There's like rumors going around that people pay for proxy services, like graphic design stuff, and then end up having, you know, sexual relations with females illegally.
00:47:58.000And you think about it, it's horrible too, because it goes back to the women thing.
00:48:04.000Is that it's also like, besides that, there's lots of girls that get tricked into selling themselves in order to get even to conservative publications to get articles and columns.
00:48:15.000And it's like you look at most women in the conservative media and you think to yourself, are these women being taken advantage of sexually?
00:48:23.000And you want to protect them and keep them away from the predators who run a lot of these companies.
00:48:29.000Very sick, very sick system, but we're doing our part to bring it all down.
00:48:34.000It's everywhere, it's everywhere the filth and the scum.
00:48:36.000We got we're praying for a rain to come and wash all the scum off the streets.
00:48:40.000Finally, yeah, but we're against violence.
00:49:38.000And then you see that horrible shooting of journalists, wherever that happened.
00:49:43.000And it just strikes you to the core because you realize it's like if these people don't stop what they're doing, eventually mentally ill people are going to take them out to the woodshed and do stuff.
00:49:52.000And it's just my heart breaks for all the dead journalists.
00:49:58.000And it's just, you would wish somebody would stop them legally and peacefully because if they don't, crazy people are going to start doing stuff, and that's not good.
00:50:31.000I'm a little bit shy about the blood stuff, but I mean, I really figured if the most important institution in America was suffering, I should suffer too.
00:50:39.000Because I'm kind of a journalist because I do the Paul Town Hall.
00:50:42.000And, uh, I basically said, you know, my brothers in Prince are suffering.
00:50:48.000And I took a little letter paper sharpener thing and just I cut myself, I pricked myself a bit, and with the bly, I smeared it across my face and sobbed.
00:53:08.000Let's just come together, hold each other's hands in a big circle, and we'll have a dialogue, honest dialogue between mega corporations with all the power and the little people who just want to be left alone.
00:57:07.000The more questionable aspects, jokes, just tongue in cheek.
00:57:10.000That's just our little sense of humor.
00:57:12.000We're very old friends, so we might banter in ways that would seem one way, but are actually totally different, are actually inside jokes that are harmless and kind of quirky and cool.
00:57:24.000So, thanks to Nikki Boo for this super chat about Hitler having only one ball.
00:58:06.000Very, you know, that's our real closest ally when you think about it.
00:58:09.000And yeah, Will Chamberlain is still very salty about the fact that I bopped him in not one, but two debates, one over the internet, one live at CPAC.
01:01:38.000But that said, they're, you know, I don't know if it's going to work out so well in that role.
01:01:44.000So, you know, it makes me so frustrated.
01:01:46.000Could you imagine what this show would be like if we could just totally break free, if we were just unchained and could say what we wanted to?
01:01:57.000Canadian conservative says, Cerno, Jeff G., Will Chamberlain literally promote the book of BDSM writer Jack Murphy, who was fired because he said feminists deserved rape.
01:02:08.000He blogged about intimidating women into anal sex threesomes, but Nick Fuentes' abortion jokes are too extreme.
01:02:22.000He's never really been friendly to me.
01:02:23.000Jeff Giza were, I think, a little bit closer than Mike Cernovich, a little bit more friendly.
01:02:29.000I don't want to associate too closely.
01:02:31.000I don't want to cause problems for him, you know, because Lord knows I go to Charlottesville and it's like I'm radioactive, so I don't want to, you know, oversell it or anything.
01:02:42.000But, you know, I don't have a big problem with Jeff Keyes.
01:02:44.000I don't have a problem with Cernovich.
01:02:46.000But I do think it's interesting that somebody like Cernovich and Will Chamberlain boost up Jack Murphy, who's, I don't really know that much about him, but apparently, total degenerate, very controversial figure.
01:02:58.000And just like all the others, by the way.
01:03:46.000We have to live up to who we are, which is we are white and we have a tradition of, I think, doing great things as a people and as a country.
01:03:54.000But also, we can't forget that this world is not the only world.
01:03:58.000It doesn't mean this world doesn't matter, but it means that's not all there is to the picture.
01:06:18.000You could be a felon, you could be a convict.
01:06:21.000You could more easily transition away from a life of rape and murder back into the normal world than you can as a white nationalist.
01:06:29.000If you get labeled a white nationalist, you are arguably worse off than if you're a child molester, if you're a pedophile, if you're a murderer.
01:06:38.000I mean, Slate and Salon.com will write more nicely about you, literally, if you're a pedophile.
01:06:45.000And we see this all day long than they will if you're one of these labeled racists or whatever.
01:06:51.000If you're, oh, you're labeled a neo Nazi.
01:06:54.000You look in Sweden, you look in Germany, people go in for raping people, they go in for murder, they get 90 days, they get a couple of months, they get a slap on the wrist because they didn't know that rape was wrong in this country.
01:07:08.000You know, certain groups of people coming over.
01:07:10.000Then you find somebody who denies that the Holocaust happened a certain way and they're in jail for three years.
01:07:17.000You know, or you find somebody who made their dog give a Roman salute on video.
01:07:20.000He goes to jail or he goes to court for it.
01:07:23.000And there's countless other cases like it.
01:07:25.000So you really have to think about that, folks.
01:11:37.000Joshua Larson, Nick, the first people we need to deport are people, typically boomers, who, when driving, swerve into the left lane, disrupting traffic to check their mail through the car window.
01:12:12.000I'm going, you know, I'm zooming down the street completely in compliance with traffic laws.
01:12:17.000You know, I'm right there at the highest threshold you could be, still within the speed limit.
01:12:22.000And I'm like, you know, buddy, you got to get out of the way.
01:12:25.000So the traffic stuff, we got to thin the herd a little bit there.
01:12:30.000You know, all these people who say, what does it matter if we have mass migration, all the rest?
01:12:36.000At the very least, don't you wish you could, you know, get to work a little bit faster?
01:12:40.000Don't you wish you could avoid traffic a little bit?
01:12:43.000Faith Goldie, all right, throwing a little super chat, throwing a little shekels my way, appreciate you.
01:12:50.000She says, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
01:13:02.000A little biblical passage there, much appreciated, and a very topical stuff, very true, very pertinent to me and Paul Towns' conversation.
01:13:11.000And I much appreciate it for the super chat, but so true.
01:13:14.000I mean, we have to realize we are battling.
01:13:16.000You're right, wickedness, wickedness, evil, the prince of this world, Satan himself.
01:13:22.000And that's, I think, what's missing in the calculations of maybe atheistic people, more secular people.
01:13:30.000That's the problem with libertarians, this idealist worldview of if we simply did no wrong, then there would be no wrong.
01:13:38.000If we applied the non aggression principle, everybody would leave everybody alone.
01:13:43.000You know, everybody just wants safety and security, and they just want peace and happiness.
01:13:52.000What exists in the souls of man are very complicated impulses and desires.
01:13:58.000Man is a complicated creature, and evil lurks to an extent in all of us.
01:14:02.000And so, this idea that, well, if we get the proper institution, if we just keep people from doing harm to each other through the free market, or if we just get government out of the picture, you know, it's this institution, otherwise we'd all be happy.
01:14:15.000It's such an asinine, juvenile look at the world.
01:14:53.000It's a shame because all my, well, I don't want to say it, I don't want to comment on my personal situation, but a very solid guy.
01:15:01.000And we had a big debate about the Pizzagate.
01:15:03.000And you just look at the evidence, it's hard not to believe in it.
01:15:07.000You look at the people that run Pizzagate, and they're posting pictures on their Instagram of children taped up with like sexual innuendo in the captions.
01:15:18.000You've got this competing thing where Pizzagate, or I'm sorry, Comet Ping Pong was built with a basement.
01:15:23.000They have a basement, but then in one report, the guy said, Oh, we don't even have a basement.
01:15:39.000Do you know what was in the official police report?
01:15:41.000He came in with a gun and he shot a hard drive in one of their computers.
01:15:46.000Folks, in the official police report about the guy that went into Comet Ping Pong with the Gundub to put to rest the Pizzagate conspiracy, he went into their computer and took out one of their hard drives.
01:17:08.000And that's where I think Catholicism is a great.
01:17:12.000Or if maybe it's the other way around, that's where maybe far right politics is a complement to Catholicism because you have two systems which are very, they answer each other's deficiencies, where the Catholic worldview, at least in this day and age, might be too open, too empathetic, all the rest.
01:17:31.000Far right traditionalist politics says, well, it has to be grounded in some semblance of order and tradition and all the rest, which is great.
01:17:39.000And at the same time, the Catholic tradition answers a lot of the moral problems that arise from.
01:17:44.000Race and IQ that arise from other questions, troubles that the alt right talks about.
01:17:51.000So I think that the Catholic moral code keeps all of these revelations, which are very stunning, which shake our worldview in a pretty good lens, keeps them all in perspective.
01:18:04.000The Daily Evans says abortion is dysgenic, not eugenic.
01:18:10.000Aussie conservatives said, Nick, it was interesting when you once referred to the state as a corporate entity.
01:18:14.000Could you elaborate more on why you favor a national interest?
01:18:17.000First foreign policy rather than a humanitarian one?
01:18:22.000Well, when I was referring to a state as a corporate entity, I merely meant that when you're talking about wars and conquest and all the rest, you have to just subtract a moral component from it.
01:18:35.000I'm sorry, I don't know how that complies with Catholic moral doctrine.
01:18:40.000I'm not a Catholic because of foreign policy.
01:18:42.000I'm a Catholic, as I said, because of authority and because of Thomistic metaphysics.
01:18:47.000But I look at foreign policy and I think to myself, you could not have things the way that they are without some kind of pragmatic vision of the world, which is that bad things happen, war happens, sometimes it gets ugly.
01:19:02.000And oh, but this one time something really bad happened.
01:19:05.000Oh, the world is full of bad things that happen all the time.
01:19:09.000You couldn't have a country without war, you couldn't have a country without excesses.
01:19:15.000We condemn the excesses, we're not saying they're positive, but I think it's a certain worldview that says that.
01:19:22.000The world to a great extent is built on those kinds of events, whether you like them or not.
01:19:27.000And people like Ryan Dawson like to pretend that everybody's innocent.
01:19:30.000We like to pick and choose who's really good and who's really bad.
01:19:33.000Well, Japan's a good country that has an ethnic identity because they establish it peacefully.
01:19:41.000And second of all, he says, the poor Palestinians, the Israelis are really going after them.
01:19:45.000Look, I'm by no means a defender of Israel, but to go after them on the grounds of Israel's being mean is just about the gayest and most inconsistent argument.
01:19:54.000Yeah, because the Muslim empire was really kind to other people, right?
01:22:42.000All I had was a big Big Mac and a large order of fries.
01:22:47.000So I'm kind of getting a little tired here.
01:22:49.000Cole says, last episode you said you were an accelerationist.
01:22:53.000What is the end goal of that acceleration?
01:22:55.000I use that term very loosely, basically to mean that I believe that people, for the most part, will not reform themselves.
01:23:04.000If you try to convince people to go a different course, you're not going to achieve a lot of success.
01:23:09.000I don't believe that change will come from this big.
01:23:14.000Positive message with an optimistic message, and you convince people to see logic and reason, and they come around to the winning side.
01:23:22.000And you know, this Mike Tokes kind of a view where it's like, we'll just convince everyone to see it our way, we'll give them our pamphlets, they'll come on the side of logic and the facts, and they will see the way.
01:23:35.000I don't think it's going to happen that way.
01:23:36.000I think people react to things that affect them personally.
01:23:41.000And so, an accelerationist, I use it loosely, says, Well, things are going to get bad.
01:23:47.000Let's kind of let things get a little bit worse.
01:23:49.000And people will feel and see what we mean when we tell them what's going on.
01:23:53.000And then they'll say, okay, maybe these guys were right.
