00:01:32.000You know, I almost feel like Donald Trump, after all, the women got up and started celebrating because of the women talk, and he said, Oh, yeah, that's great.
00:01:40.000That's kind of how I'm feeling right now.
00:01:43.000We are here at a later hour this evening.
00:01:45.000It's 9 30, so it's an hour and a half later, about then when we usually begin the show.
00:01:52.000Obviously, because the president just completed his second State of the Union address of his presidency, and it was quite something.
00:02:02.000My initial observation, my initial thought is just what the fuck was that?
00:02:52.000And you know me, I like to be pretty generous, pretty benevolent with the president and his shortcomings or setbacks or failures, but there's no defense for this speech.
00:03:03.000There is nothing that can be said in defense of it.
00:03:07.000The president, his biggest, most independent power that he has is the bully pulpit.
00:03:15.000He may not control the power of the purse.
00:03:18.000He may not have control over the judiciary.
00:03:22.000He may not even have total control of the foreign policy apparatus because of the Pentagon or because of the deep state.
00:03:28.000But what he has complete and total control over is what he says, his rhetoric to the American people.
00:03:36.000The speeches, the tweets, that is where nobody can stop you.
00:03:41.000That is where you have the opportunity to change the conversation.
00:03:46.000That's possibly the biggest, again, the most independent unilateral authority the president can exercise without influence, without obstruction from any other faction, any other institution in the government.
00:04:29.000I think everybody who looked at the State of the Union in that capitulation said, oh boy, well, it better be a pretty good one.
00:04:35.000There better be a really good reason, myself included, saying this, for why you moved it back a week, why you capitulated, why you took a total loss and got cucked by Nancy Pelosi if you're going to move it back a week.
00:04:48.000And then he comes in tonight and he's talking about what?
00:04:52.000AIDS, the Holocaust, drug dealers, inequities in the criminal justice system?
00:05:31.000We just have to unload a little bit before we are prepared to move forward.
00:05:35.000We'll take a look at it piece by piece, but before we do, some of my initial thoughts on this, beyond what I've already said, the biggest flaw of this speech, we can nitpick and we can say, oh, well, he didn't do this or he didn't do that, whatever.
00:05:49.000The biggest, most glaring fault of the speech, biggest problem, obviously, is there was nothing on immigration.
00:05:58.000He probably spent three whole minutes in a 90 minute speech on immigration.
00:06:55.000If not the televised address, if not the press conferences or the tweets, that was the opportunity to make the case on immigration, to make the case for the wall.
00:07:07.000Lay out what the plan is that we're over, well over, two years into the presidency, and we haven't got anything.
00:07:15.000That was your opportunity to tell us how we're going to move forward.
00:07:18.000February 15th, in 10 days, DHS and another third of the government run out of money.
00:07:25.000Again, we're going to move into a government shutdown.
00:07:28.000We opened the government with the CR in late January to say we would either make a deal on immigration or Trump would use a state of emergency.
00:07:36.000We are still no further along in the process.
00:07:39.000And, you know, after all that we've been through, We are still no further along in the process than when the president got into office.
00:07:47.000We heard last week on Tucker Carlson there was a White House official who said that they had prepared an executive order on Donald Trump's desk ready to sign immediately after he was inaugurated to start building the border wall, and it didn't happen.
00:08:15.000We can look at the hawkish rhetoric on Venezuela, the boomerish obsession with socialism.
00:08:19.000There's a lot of things to nitpick here, but the most glaring, what makes this truly a black pill, is there was just nothing new, nothing of substance, no game changer on immigration.
00:08:30.000He didn't even spend more than five minutes on the subject.
00:08:34.000And to me, that's the biggest problem.
00:08:35.000But we'll look into it piece by piece, and then we'll give some general statements in summary.
00:08:42.000So I guess the strategy here, if there was one, It's just the same misguided, failed strategy of the Republican Party for 25 to 30 years.
00:08:53.000The theme of the speech was make America great.
00:08:56.000You know, we have this opportunity before us.
00:09:01.000That's why maybe add some bipartisan components in there, bipartisan framing.
00:09:06.000We have to bring the nation together after the government shut down.
00:09:10.000We have to choose greatness instead of partisanship and politics and all this other stuff.
00:09:15.000And, you know, in my opinion, it started out very strong because there are two ways to do this there's a right way and there's a wrong way to bring the country together.
00:09:26.000Country together is sort of how he started the speech, talking about, again, traditional America.
00:09:32.000We've talked a lot about this subject, this lens on the show before, talking about the moon landing in World War II.
00:09:41.000He starts off by saying, I'm hoping that we will, rather, the American people are hoping that we will govern not as two parties, but as one nation.
00:09:49.000I want to advance not a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda, but the agenda of the American people.
00:09:54.000This kind of rhetoric can be strong if worked effectively, because, of course, We want a Republican agenda.
00:09:59.000It's not, you know, when he says, oh, it's not a Republican or a Democrat, that's pure rhetoric.
00:10:04.000Of course, we want a Republican agenda.
00:10:06.000And the way to pivot is to say that the agenda of the American people is the Republican agenda.
00:10:13.000You don't say, I'm not going to advance the interests of my part or the other, but the interests of the people, and then say, we're going to take a little of both.
00:10:30.000Not, we're going to take a little of this and a little of that.
00:10:33.000We're going to take criminal justice reform and everything else.
00:10:35.000So I was like, okay, well, this is an interesting start.
00:10:39.000He then goes into, and this is how he frames the entire speech, these two great anniversaries this year.
00:10:45.000In June, we're celebrating, or commemorating rather, 75 years since the quote, Great Crusade, which was the term given to the Allied liberation of Europe during D Day by Dwight Eisenhower.
00:10:57.000He had three special guests who were all veterans from D Day, a very heartfelt moment.
00:11:34.000He goes on, it's also going to be 50 years since the moon landing.
00:11:37.000He brings Buzz Aldrin as a special guest, showing how America is an exceptional nation, exceptional because of the great people within the nation.
00:11:46.000Not the ideology, but the people of the nation.
00:11:49.000He said, Nothing can compete with America.
00:12:40.000Given what's happened in recent weeks, Pat Buchanan wrote a very, very good column about this this week, talking about the Governor Northam scandal in Virginia, where he was photographed in blackface, or he purported to have been shown in blackface, or at the same party, or whatever.
00:12:59.000And in his latest column, Buchanan talks about the fact that, of course, this racism, sin, and the political correctness is actually part of a much larger story about whether or not we view America.
00:13:12.000Democrats are obsessed with the sins of America, the original sins of colonialism, slavery.
00:13:18.000We talked about this with Kamala Harris' announcement speech, where she declared she was running for president at Howard University and on MLK Day, talking about, again, Native Americans and slavery and all this other stuff.
00:13:30.000And Buchanan said, well, that's really the fundamental question of 2020 and this new political orientation.
00:13:42.000Continually be giving penance for these historical sins, as the Democrats say.
00:13:46.000So, this framing to me was, it reminded me of that.
00:13:49.000I said, okay, this framing is important because it says we're coming together as a nation to embrace America as fundamentally good.
00:13:56.000You may have noticed that people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris were not standing and giving a big applause line and a big standing ovation for these lines about choosing greatness.
00:14:08.000That speaks to the fact that it is these Democrats who don't care for it, but probably it is the people's agenda as opposed to a partisan agenda.
00:14:42.000I understand why a lot of people might say obviously the economy is less important than the actual welfare of the people.
00:14:49.000That certainly the economy's been doing better in recent times, but there are big, massive structural challenges that are facing the middle class, the working class, that just sort of glossing it over with GDP growth and all this other stuff, and maybe you bully Foxconn into building a plant in Wisconsin, doesn't really solve everything.
00:15:11.000But I said, okay, that rhetoric is unifying because everybody can get behind the economy, everybody can get behind jobs and everything else.
00:15:18.000I said, okay, You know, this start isn't really what I would have hoped for.
00:15:22.000You kind of go from landing on the moon and liberating Normandy to, oh, but look at all these jobs for blacks and Hispanics.
00:15:30.000So he talks about the economic boom 5.3 million new jobs in two years, in particular, 600,000 new manufacturing jobs, wages rising for blue collar workers, 5 million lifted off of food stamps, unemployment the lowest in half a century, and then inevitably we get, oh, and black unemployment, Hispanic unemployment, Asian unemployment, lowest in history.
00:16:23.000Did all these blacks and Hispanics dutifully come to the polls and reward you for your job well done and your concern for their well being by giving them jobs and lifting them out of poverty by giving you maybe more than 10% of their vote for the first time ever?
00:16:43.000I think some numbers show that blacks, what do they vote, like 5% for Donald Trump?
00:16:48.000Oh, but you know, keep it up with the applause line.
00:16:51.000And I know, I've said this in the past.
00:16:53.000You talk about black unemployment, you pander to minorities, not totally for minorities themselves, but in a large measure for whites.
00:17:01.000Because while blacks and Hispanics might not care about this, whites care about the president not being racist.
00:17:07.000Whites care that their president has concern for the plight of minorities.
00:17:11.000So I've always said, That's not totally the end of the world that he's panning these people because it does have that indirect messaging towards liberal white people or white people concerned about racism.
00:17:45.000And suburban, middle, and working class people in the Rust Belt, predominantly white people, white working class.
00:17:52.000So when you parrot this line about, oh, blacks and Hispanics, they don't vote for you.
00:17:56.000They live in cities and in states that will never vote for you, and you're doing that at the expense of the people that do vote for you.
00:18:02.000Not a great strategy, sort of a bad omen here, but I said, okay, whatever.
00:18:06.000He goes around parading the tax cuts, killing the estate tax, getting rid of the individual mandate, doing right to try, cutting regulations, U.S. being the largest producer of oil and natural gas, being a net exporter of energy.
00:18:58.000And then we start to fall off a little bit.
00:19:01.000He talks about opioids, the Farm Bill, VA reform, VA accountability, all fine and well.
00:19:06.000And we talk about criminal justice reform.
00:19:09.000Thank you, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
00:19:12.000He talks about criminal justice and in very partisan terms, for a speech that isn't supposed to be partisan, talking about disparities in sentencing with regard to race.
00:19:23.000Wow, that's a pretty partisan thing to say.
00:19:26.000In fact, it's straight out of the Democrat platform.
00:19:29.000You know, I guess instead of beating the Democrats, we could just simply become them and maybe we won't have any more problems, right?
00:19:36.000His two special guests for this little ditty are Alice Johnson, who was a nonviolent drug offender.
00:19:44.000Oh, and she was serving a 30 year sentence as a black woman.
00:19:47.000What a victim of our oppressive justice system.
00:23:15.000So this is almost worse than the televised address, worse than any of the press conferences, worse than anything else, because where's the call to action?
00:23:25.000This is probably the shortest component of the speech, and there's some good lines in there.
00:23:29.000There's some good rhetoric in there, but there's no focus.
00:23:37.000This is the gaping hole that ruins the whole speech.
00:23:40.000You've got, again, other things we can nitpick and we get frustrated about.
00:23:43.000We could forgive everything else, criminal justice reform.
00:23:47.000AIDS, the two, count them, two Holocaust survivors, if there was just something substantive, something substantial on immigration, but we got nothing.
00:23:57.000We got an evenly framing of the talk about illegal immigration is about all, but women are getting raped.
00:24:04.000Women are getting raped and trafficked.
00:25:05.000The only time he talked about immigration after shutting down the government for a month, longest shutdown in history after he campaigned, we're going to build the wall, Mexico's going to pay for it.
00:25:14.000All he had to say about it was, oh, yeah, you know, this is a big problem, and then we just need to make them come in legally.
00:25:37.000He goes on to give a real pat on the back to all these remarkable women, talking about how women have the lowest unemployment.
00:25:47.000Yeah, that's something to be proud of.
00:25:49.000Talking about how we have a record number of congresswomen serving in Congress, celebrating it's been 100 years since women have the right to vote.
00:25:58.000And he gets rewarded for that by all these left wing Democrat women, all these frumpy looking old bags.
00:26:06.000Getting up and doing their little dances and celebrating, and AOC gets camera time, and they start chanting USA.
00:26:12.000And this is the one two punch, which is why the speech was a total failure.
00:26:17.000Nothing on immigration, and then Democrats just own the framing.
00:26:21.000The whole speech has to be framed in terms of what's good for victims, particularly what's good for women.
00:26:26.000And then, of course, when you do that, Democrats seize on that.
00:26:30.000Donald Trump will never make the case to America that he's the president who's going to protect women's rights.
00:26:37.000Because you have Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, because you've got Nancy Pelosi, it doesn't make any sense.
00:26:43.000When people think women, women's rights, feminism, female empowerment, they're never in a million years going to think Donald Trump and Republicans.
00:26:50.000They're going to think Cortez and Nancy Pelosi.
00:26:53.000So when you say that, it plays into their strength, it plays into their platform.
00:26:59.000Everything they represent, and you're saying, oh, hats off to them, what a great thing.
00:27:02.000Of course, they're going to take that and reappropriate the USA chant and say, oh, we're patriotic too, we're chanting USA.
00:27:10.000Because you're talking about our vision of American nationalism and patriotism and unity, which means this marching concept of gender equality and all this other stuff.
00:27:24.000He deserved for them to dance and cheer and chant USA because what a disaster, what a mistake to try to pander to people that have no business in our party, that that kind of rhetoric, that kind of platform has no business in terms of what we're trying to promote.
00:27:39.000So Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and they've got all the women wearing white and this political statement they get to dance and.
00:27:50.000We want America to become what she can be, which is equal for women and everything.
00:27:55.000What a terrible optical blunder to make to have Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and all the women dressed in white, chanting USA, dancing subversively at the President's State of the Union.
00:28:06.000It's hard to imagine how it could get worse than that.
00:28:11.000He was 100% responsible for that because he opened the door for that when he said, oh, I'm going to try and be a unifier, I'm going to try to get everybody to like me.
00:28:19.000And talk about how great it is for women.
00:28:21.000You think I'm too hard on the women question now after that speech?
00:29:36.000You think that all the homosexuals in Boys Town, Chicago, and I don't know what the neighborhood is in LA, and in Manhattan, and Williamsburg, and New York City, do you think all the homosexuals are out there and they're like, you know, we hate Donald Trump because we're left wing, but he really stood up for AIDS and I'm going to vote for him?
00:29:54.000Do you think that's happening anywhere ever?
00:30:06.000Nobody else is really charged up about this.
00:30:09.000Maybe a handful of activists who are really zealots.
00:30:12.000But it just speaks again to the profoundly misguided strategy, which is if I appeal to the other side, if I try to co opt their issues, maybe they'll like me.
00:30:39.000When you go out there and you talk about how great the moon landing is, World War II, we're one nation under God, even those things they don't believe in.
00:30:47.000They don't believe America is a great nation.
00:30:49.000They don't believe America is even a good nation, morally good.
00:30:54.000In fact, I believe they think talking about God in the way that we do is some sort of ethnic centric take and it's Christian and everything, and I'm sure they're even against that.
00:31:08.000You know, if you just simply pander enough to black drug dealers, HIV, AIDS, havers, legal immigrants, and women, that all of a sudden they're going to say, oh, oh, on God, you support women too?
00:31:56.000And instead, rather in the world, and instead we chose to embrace the ideological, civic nationalist, propositional ideas of Macron, Theresa May, Barack Obama effectively.
00:33:28.000To pivot and talk about new calls for socialism in America.
00:33:32.000He said, Oh, we're American, we're free and independent, and we will never have socialism, which was, of course, a pretty explicit rebuke to Bernie Sanders, Ocasio Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, this new collection of presidential nominees who want sweeping wealth, income, or inheritance taxes.
00:34:03.000Becoming a nation that has no homogeneity, no coherence, completely deracinated, white people are a minority, it's multilingual, multiracial, multicultural.
00:34:29.000That America will become a nation that is not the nation designed by God fearing European Christian men.
00:34:37.000Wise Christian men, the founding fathers that fought and died and sacrificed for a great country and had prudence, that nation is going away.
00:35:02.000I don't care if I live in a socialist nation if I live in a nation that looks like it did in the 1950s.
00:35:08.000If I'm living in 1940 and let's say Huey Long is the president, I'm fine with that.
00:35:14.000As opposed to living in 2060 America where it's probably socialist anyway and it looks like Chinatown or it looks like San Francisco, right?
00:36:36.000You know, a Jewish person wrote this speech.
00:36:38.000You know that a Jew wrote this speech because taking Iran and then pivoting and saying, Well, you know, Iran threatening to blow up Israel is sort of just like the Tree of Life synagogue massacre.
00:38:22.000And then he ends it very lazy writing in the end.
00:38:26.000Tying it back to D Day, and then just add insult to injury.
00:38:29.000If he didn't, you know, just stab us in the gut and rip our organs out, then he's just pouring salt into the wound by saying, We're here in the Congress, the same Congress that ended slavery, defeated fascism, advanced civil rights.
00:39:28.000I think about the fact that our young people are growing up in homes where there is divorce, where there's horrible drug abuse, where children are being put on drugs, where there's horrible left wing social engineering happening in the way of deviant sexual and gender propaganda.
00:39:42.000I think about college tuition being so expensive that every man, woman, and child in the next 50 years will effectively be a debt slave for at least 30 years and they won't be able to retire with Social Security.
00:39:54.000These are the kinds of things that I think about.
00:39:57.000But apparently, the president is more occupied with issues like sexual degenerates getting AIDS, or issues like poor foreign people who have no business here being able to come legally, and black drug dealers languishing in prison for extended periods of time, and Jews who survived the Holocaust.
00:40:49.000It's hard to see how he turns this around.
00:40:51.000More practically speaking, aside from the conceptual stuff, aside from the meta political stuff, is the immediate and most urgent concern, which is how in the hell are you going to get this wall built?
00:41:03.00010 days, that's all you got before you either declare a state of emergency, which your own Congress is against.
00:41:08.000Your own Congress is bucking your authority on this issue.
00:41:12.000Mitch McConnell says it would be a bad idea, or you're going to make a deal, which nobody wants to do, or it's a government shutdown, which you cucked on in the first time.
00:41:24.000And if there is a plan, I don't see how not talking about immigration in the State of the Union is part of it.
00:41:30.000So, aside even from this terrible, horrible strategy, which he seems to have embraced, which is trying to appeal to our enemies and so on, the immediate concern is not being met.
00:41:42.000Worst speech, I think, that he's ever given, without a doubt, because we've always seen these strains, we've always seen these talking points about criminal justice, about black unemployment, about the plight of the Jewish people.
00:41:56.000But it seems to me that it was always accompanied by things that were there.
00:42:00.000You know, these little subtle little pills that are hard to swallow alongside them about South Africa, nationalism, about immigration, you know, these other things about dreamers coming from America.
00:43:37.000Yeah, so like those were some minor things.
00:43:39.000You had all the women dressed up in white, all the female congresswomen on the Democrat side dressed up in white as some asinine, completely retarded political statement.
00:43:50.000You know, you think I'm too hard on the women.
00:43:52.000These people just don't belong anywhere near the halls of political power.
00:45:53.000At least as it stands right now, blackpilled, blackpilled Nick.
00:45:58.000Blackpilled Nick is in the building here.
00:46:01.000I don't see how it gets better from here.
00:46:02.000I am seriously just blackpilled on the whole situation.
00:46:06.000I mean, this speech, if this is the state of the union, better seen as a state of the administration, state of this administration is very not good, very, very bad.
00:46:17.000Thought we had a second wind with the government shutdown, but it just didn't happen.
00:46:34.000Maybe at the end of this latest CR, the latest continuing resolution to fund the government, maybe he'll just come out and say, oh, I never even wanted a wall in the first place.
00:47:37.000I'm sure a lot of people are relating very strongly to all of this because, I mean, my God, it was just like I said, it's hard to imagine how it could be worse.
00:47:47.000It's hard to imagine how you could even parody a speech like this.
00:47:51.000You know, three minutes on immigration and then you do the whole shtick about the Holocaust.
00:48:30.000Really good comics says, stinky, sassy brown women raising the roof and taking selfies over women in Congress comments, then sitting stone faced over Trump saying we should protect the unborn.
00:48:41.000Imagine a meteor crashing through the roof and killing everyone in white.
00:48:58.000I mean, the Continental Congress, the constitutional conventions.
00:49:01.000Think about all the great things we've done, and now we've got, like you say, these smelly, sassy women in their little costumes raising the roof.
00:49:15.000What a sad, silly, stupid country we've become.
00:49:19.000Reagan says, I just canceled my act of terrorism against this place to say the State of the Union was the gayest thing since gayness rode in a gay town on a gay bicycle.
00:49:51.000Based one says that speech had Kushner's hand in it all over.
00:49:54.000This man was over here celebrating record breaking amounts of women in the workplace, and I'm home screaming, Neighbor, those hoes are the problem.
00:50:02.000Fluffing them up will not get him re elected.
00:52:15.000He spent the whole speech talking about women and minorities and AIDS and Jews, and that's not a nitpick.
00:52:23.000It'd be one thing if the speech was about how, you know, whatever, but that was the intro, that was the ending, and everything in the middle was about people that don't vote for him.
00:53:23.000Steve Z says Nick might be late from time to time, but he more than makes up for it by giving us a half hour of extra content night after night.
00:53:29.000More PP for our poo poo without taking advantage.
00:54:29.000If the speech is any indicator of how he will act moving forward, I'm not really too encouraged by what I've seen, right?
00:54:38.000I mean, if the speech was indicative of where his mentality is at, it's certainly not a good one.
00:54:45.000So I looked at that speech and I said to myself, there's really nothing different, at least with regard to immigration, from anything he's already said.
00:54:52.000In the televised address, in the Press conference announcing the compromise deal.
00:55:20.000And that is why probably he ended the government shutdown.
00:55:23.000If he comes out of the State of the Union with a strong message, a strong call to action on the wall, He makes the case not why there's a crisis on the border, but why the physical barrier is the only solution to it.
00:55:35.000That is indicative of the course of action taken.
00:55:38.000Is there going to be a state of emergency?
00:55:39.000Is there going to be a compromise bill or something?
00:57:55.000This is his right to make sure that what he says is his message, his initiative, his agenda.
00:58:00.000And so, with this, there's just simply no excuse.
00:58:03.000With the government shutdown, I can say, oh, well, these typically don't work because the media controls public opinion, and the government shutdown only works if you have public opinion on your side.
00:58:11.000He didn't get it passed in the first two years because the Republicans weren't working with him, and you need 10 votes in the Senate, 10 additional on top of the simple majority, and that wasn't happening, or he didn't do it through executive order because the court stopped him.
00:58:24.000What stopped him from making a speech that was good?
00:58:27.000What stopped him from making a speech that was everything it needed to be?
00:58:30.000What stopped him from making a speech that wasn't about Holocaust survivors, drug dealers, people with AIDS?
00:59:02.000It seems like he's just campaigning for 2020, basically, at this point.
00:59:06.000Because if he was going to declare a state of emergency, I imagine he would lay out that case more strongly tonight.
00:59:12.000If that was the intention, why wouldn't he take up five to ten minutes during the speech talking about how I've got the legal authority to do this?
01:00:32.000No, the only thing that was cringe in blackpilling was, oh, cringe as F. When you say AF, I thought you meant America first, but you mean as F. Swift says the speech felt like it was intentionally written to demoralize us, worse than any Obama speech.
01:00:46.000No way Stephen Miller had any part in it.
01:02:04.000Because there are people who will tell you, oh, well, this means stop voting and politics doesn't matter and you have to join some revolutionary third positionist group.
01:04:49.000J.L. Fish says, in before silly wig, Natsay, I told you so about Drumpf.
01:04:54.000That's why it's important to remember, you know, again, all the other failures, and this is true, we have called him out on other setbacks, but also with it in mind that there are forces arrayed against him beyond anybody's control.
01:05:07.000You know, for example, the omnibus bill, the omnibus bill, I hit him very strongly for that.
01:05:11.000Delaying the wall in September, I hit him strongly for that.
01:05:14.000In December, the midterms, I hit him strongly for all of that.
01:05:17.000But there was also a fair and balanced approach that, well, to be fair, he's not the only person in this equation.
01:05:24.000There are other actors with co equal or, in some cases, asymmetrical powers.
01:06:27.000I understand that in a greater context, maybe in a few weeks, we could look back and say, oh, well, you know, that was bad, but it got better.
01:07:00.000It is very much indicative of what's happening in the administration.
01:07:02.000If something like this was allowed to be produced and executed, something has gone very wrong within the administration because it's a big opportunity.
01:07:10.000It's a big and historic, major opportunity strategically, tactically, for your political agenda.
01:07:17.000And that it was botched and wasted in this way, it's not inconsequential.
01:09:00.000It depends on your personal situation.
01:09:04.000But generally, these groups are basically kind of gay and in their infancy.
01:09:08.000Not Identity Europe, I think IE is very good, but.
01:09:11.000In regard to alternative groups, I don't really know any other alternative groups that are serious, that have their act together, that are professional, that are what we want.
01:09:20.000Outside of Identity Europa, I think they're all gay.
01:11:00.000All of that could have been forgiven if there was something substantial, something with teeth on immigration, if there was a plan, a call to action, if the president really was serious.
01:11:10.000There is a focus about building the wall, and we have a very urgent and immediate deadline facing us February 15th.
01:11:18.000Is when the money runs out, we'll be facing another government shutdown, probably a showdown for the wall.
01:11:23.000All the rest could have been forgiven if there was some indicator that we were going to take this opportunity seriously, but I didn't see it because it didn't happen.
01:11:32.000And so that only exacerbates everything else.
01:11:34.000That you didn't have that, but you had plenty of time, plenty of room for coping, for reaching across the aisle on things which just don't matter to us, don't matter to normal average Americans, like extended prison sentences for drug dealers and AIDS patients.
01:12:00.000A big loser, one of the biggest losers out of all the speeches I think he's ever given.
01:12:05.000He's given some speeches which were questionable, but this one, given how critical this opportunity was, how critical this platform was for him, given the fact that there was no other consideration beyond the immediate leverage for the wall being built in the next 10 days, that should have been the concern.
01:12:23.000This was without a doubt the worst speech and very much a dark and disappointing moment of the presidency.
01:12:44.000But by 2024 or earlier, he will be out of the national spotlight.
01:12:48.000We have to be prepared to move outside of him.
01:12:51.000Now, at the time, he's the best thing we have going for us.
01:12:54.000He's the only one, in spite of everything else, committed to changing the situation, however minimally he's trying to do it or has done it.
01:13:02.000He's talking about illegal immigration.
01:13:04.000He's talking about some of these other issues.
01:13:08.000His role is different than some of us thought.
01:13:10.000And I've always said his job was to change things.
01:13:13.000His job was to realign everything, to go up into Washington, D.C., blow up the establishment, and create enough disorder that something else could rise in its place.
01:13:23.000And so for people regarding him as the great savior, the one who's going to fix everything, that was never the position.
01:13:28.000That was never, at least that was never my hope, that was never my position that this would happen.
01:13:33.000So the administration goes on, and we'll have to wait and see.
01:13:36.000If there's something on the wall before the 15th, then I'll say, you know, he really.
01:13:41.000Recovered, I would say he really redeemed himself.
01:13:43.000But where we are right now, and this is where we are right now, could change.
01:13:46.000We'll have, as always, we'll have to wait and see.
01:13:49.000As of right now, it was a big disappointment tonight.
01:13:51.000We would have hoped for better, and this was on him.
01:13:53.000So that's our show, kind of a black pilling episode, I know.
01:13:57.000And hey, it was a black pilling speech.
