00:01:14.000You know, somebody was born in 1878 on this day, and we'll get into that.
00:01:19.000But first, before we get into any of that, I want to talk about Donald Trump's foreign policy speech.
00:01:25.000Now, this got completely overshadowed.
00:01:27.000Maybe it's just because I live in a bubble, you know, an e-bubble, and I'm online, and the only news I get is from like what Groypers are saying and what, you know, Irony Bros are saying on Twitter.
00:01:39.000So, Maybe that's just me that this bigger news got overshadowed by the Twitter drama.
00:01:44.000But President Trump gave a major foreign policy speech, foreign policy slash national security speech this afternoon.
00:01:54.000Very important, about a half hour speech, and he laid out the four pillars of his foreign policy, which would form the bedrock, I guess, of the Trump doctrine, which will come into effect, I guess, now that his presidency is starting to mature.
00:02:11.000And I missed this really until I started looking through my notes.
00:02:14.000I guess everybody's so preoccupied with the e-celeb drama going on on Twitter and who was getting banned and the paranoia about that that we missed this.
00:02:23.000But this was some very important stuff.
00:02:25.000So he laid it out today, and we'll go over it.
00:02:29.000The major parts that he talked about, he talked about, and are we really, we're already getting into it.
00:02:34.000We're already getting into the boring policy stuff.
00:02:50.000Hope we are back and are ready for a big week of America First.
00:02:55.000There was a little bit more drama on Twitter than just the purge.
00:02:59.000There was some drama between me and others going on and other things, but we'll get to that if people have questions about it later tonight.
00:03:17.000He laid out his four pillars tonight, or this afternoon rather, for his foreign policy, which are number one, protecting the American homeland, number two, promoting American prosperity, number three, demonstrating peace through strength, and number four, advancing America's interests.
00:03:34.000And if you heard the speech, if you watched the whole thing, really incredible, important speech.
00:03:42.000If you heard him explain these four points, if you're hearing these four points, and if you've been paying attention to what this country's foreign policy has been for the past eight years under Barack Obama, for the past 16 years with George W. Bush and Barack Obama, for the past 25, for the past 50 years, you could go back a long time that if you've been watching what this country's foreign policy has been, it has been an absolute unmitigated disaster.
00:04:13.000Of epic proportions that has squandered and thrown in the garbage everything that the United States of America was supposed to be.
00:04:22.000And this is the trouble with conservatism.
00:04:24.000This has been the trouble with the Republican Party, which is this glaring contradiction, this glaring paradox that conservatives want to conserve what it means to be an American.
00:04:38.000They want to preserve the traditions, the culture that is America.
00:04:43.000That's what it means to be a conservative.
00:04:45.000And since 1947, there has been a glaring contradiction at the heart of the Republican platform of the Conservative Party that has flown in the face of that stated value, of that core axiomatic first principle, which is traditionalism, preserving traditions.
00:05:04.000And that is that the American nation was founded on self reliance and, as a result, ostensibly a smaller government.
00:05:14.000I know we tend to make fun of the small government meme on this show.
00:05:19.000What I mean by small government is national government.
00:05:23.000A government that is small but is sovereign, and the people are sovereign over it.
00:05:28.000But since 1947, the Republicans have completely turned their backs on that.
00:05:33.000In 1947, the reason I use that year is because after World War II, you saw Great Britain give up all of her colonial possessions.
00:05:42.000Great Britain, France, all the European powers giving up their colonial possessions because they were bankrupt after two world wars.
00:05:50.000So, what you saw after 1945 was countries like India.
00:05:54.000Countries all over Africa, countries all over the world, really, basically coming under the control of national governments, regional governments, where they are.
00:06:04.000So Great Britain gave up her colonial empire, France, Germany, and so on and so forth, and so on and so on.
00:06:11.000And in 1947, Great Britain handed off Turkey and Greece to the United States.
00:06:17.000After World War II, the United States entered into a period of cold conflict, which would eventually become the Cold War.
00:06:27.000And in 1947, where Great Britain had been shoring up the governments of Turkey and Greece against the influence of the Soviet Union and possible communist revolution, they could no longer afford to do that after the war.
00:06:41.000And so in 1947, they officially passed the buck, that financial responsibility from the United Kingdom to the United States.
00:06:49.000And what happened was, Harry Truman got the heads of the Republican Party and the heads of the Democratic Party in a room essentially.
00:06:57.000This midnight deal where Great Britain was going to stop funding Turkey and Greece that night, and the United States had to take up the burden, or else these two countries would be at risk.
00:07:09.000And if those two countries became at risk, then the Soviet Union would have access to Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
00:07:17.000So it was really this midnight deal where the United States was running out of time to fulfill that commitment that the UK would not be able to fulfill.
00:07:25.000And so Harry Truman got the heads of both parties in the room.
00:07:28.000And on the Republican side, he got Mr. Republican, which was Taft.
00:07:32.000I think that was either the son or the grandson.
00:07:35.000It was some relative of President Taft.
00:07:38.000But they got Robert Taft, who is Mr. Republican, in the room.
00:07:41.000And surprisingly, many people do not know this.
00:07:44.000But in 1947, after World War II, the Republican Party was an isolationist party.
00:07:52.000The Republican Party was a non interventionist party.
00:07:56.000After World War II, both the Democrats and the Republicans wanted the United States to come home.
00:08:46.000They're expanding into the Middle East through the Caucasus.
00:08:48.000And if they take control of Turkey and Greece, if they're allowed to slide through there into these other theaters, it could be over for the United States.
00:08:57.000It would be regional hegemony for the Soviet Union, and that would put American interests at stake and the American homeland at stake.
00:09:05.000So they both said, the heads of both parties said, all right, reluctantly, they said, all right, Harry Truman, we will vote on it.
00:09:14.000We will whip the votes and we will allow the funding for the United States to Turkey and Greece to shore up these governments to fight the Cold War.
00:09:22.000And that inaugurated in 1947 50 years of American intervention, 50 years of American empire, 50 years of American taxpayer dollars flowing from hardworking people who are doing handiwork or doing other things to the government and to all these foreign countries, all these foreign governments, foreign people, foreign military.
00:10:32.000So, from 47 to 91, the duration of the Cold War, it made sense that this was the foreign policy.
00:10:40.000It made sense that this was the policy of our country.
00:10:44.000It completely flew in the face of our tradition, of our constitution.
00:10:48.000Our Declaration of Independence, our traditions, our Protestant and English culture since the 1600s, since the 17th century, flew in the face of it, but it made sense.
00:11:00.000Because you had this evil empire, which truly was evil, and which truly was an empire that was set on global hegemony and the destruction of the United States.
00:11:13.000In 1991, two years after the Berlin Wall comes crashing down, two years after the Soviet empire is exploding all over the place, They have a disastrous war in Afghanistan where it was like our Iraq, but in 1979, disastrous war in Afghanistan.
00:11:57.000That 50 year exception that we undertook for the Cold War, where we said, you know, we're going to put this whole Constitution thing on hold.
00:12:05.000Going to put the whole American sovereignty thing on hold so that we can fight the Soviet menace, so that we might not get nuked into oblivion.
00:12:19.000What should have happened was we bring the troops home, we close the bases abroad, excuse me, we bring our money back home, and we make ourselves great.
00:12:31.000You know, we fund a social safety net, we build up our infrastructure, we invest in our education.
00:12:36.000We consolidate our gains essentially at home.
00:12:47.000After eight years of Ronald Reagan, everybody in the conservative movement loves, we got the Bush family and then the Clinton family and then we got the Obamas.
00:12:55.000And what transpired after 1991, after the existential threat, which was the reason that we were abroad in the first place, we got an expansion where we should have gotten a consolidation, where we should have gotten.
00:13:09.000All of these people coming home and all the money coming home and reinvested into our country.
00:13:13.000Instead, we got the exact opposite more money going across, more wars, where the Cold War was supposedly the war that was won without firing a single bullet.
00:13:23.000Yeah, except for in Vietnam and Korea and Nicaragua, forget all that.
00:13:28.000But after the Cold War ends, now we're going to Iraq and now we're going to Yemen and now we're going to Somalia, now we're going to Iraq again and to Afghanistan and to every country.
00:13:39.000On planet Earth, we've got a problem with all of a sudden Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, Korea.
00:13:44.000I mean, you name it, we've got a problem with them.
00:13:49.000And all of this to the detriment in the Republican Party of our stated, our core axiomatic first principles tradition.
00:14:11.000And Republicans got away from that in 1991.
00:14:14.000You know, there was that brief intermission where it made sense after 1991.
00:14:18.000It was just a big, fat middle finger by this party to the American people and, more importantly, to their constituents that put these people in office.
00:14:28.000So when you hear President Trump get up there, I mean, that's the context of these four pillars for this foreign policy speech.
00:14:36.000The four pillars being protecting the American homeland, promoting American prosperity.
00:14:41.000Demonstrating peace through strength and advancing America's interests.
00:14:45.000You didn't hear anything in there about climate change.
00:14:48.000You didn't hear anything in there about human rights.
00:14:51.000You didn't hear anything in there about any of the Wilsonian idealistic projects that we've been pursuing for 25 years.
00:15:13.000So that was a real game changer, and it was really great to hear him say that.
00:15:17.000Hopefully, we'll see some follow through.
00:15:19.000I know a lot of people have been disenfranchised with President Trump's foreign policy, and I think it's because they misunderstand it.
00:15:26.000You know, what we've seen really over the past 10 months since he's been in office is everything he promised.
00:15:32.000You know, people will say that he's entrenched us further in the Middle East or that this saber rattling with North Korea is unnecessary and on and on.
00:15:41.000But he has conducted a pretty sensible, very pragmatic, and I think the most realistic contraction of American maybe extension.
00:15:52.000And that sounds kind of simplistic, but not a contraction of American influence, but.
00:15:58.000A contraction, I think, of unnecessary involvement in the sense that if you look at his involvement in the Middle East, contrasted with Barack Obama, what has been our focus in the Middle East since January 20th of 2016, since the inauguration?
00:16:31.000We sat silent while Hosni Mubarak was deposed.
00:16:34.000We encouraged the Arab Spring, all kinds of meddling.
00:16:38.000We refused to fight ISIS as hard as we could because we were trying to balance with Iran and we were trying to get Iran to moderate and appease Hezbollah.
00:16:48.000And under President Trump, you haven't seen any of that.
00:16:50.000Under President Trump, it's been defeat ISIS.
00:16:58.000In the past 10 months, we've defeated ISIS.
00:17:01.000And so, our foreign policy, and that's one example, but our foreign policy in the Middle East has been to serve American interests, defeat people that hurt America's interests, defeat people that are a threat to America's existence.
00:17:15.000And we've done that 100% in a shorter amount of time than Barack Obama could have dreamed of doing or Hillary Clinton.
00:18:07.000You think that if you like politics, it's like collecting stamps or something.
00:18:11.000It just deprives it of all the gravitas that it deserves.
00:18:15.000So, you're not, for my international relations scholars, not nerds, you got to read into it the nuance when he says that China and Russia are rivals, rival powers.
00:18:27.000Because what that communicates, and the way that he phrased it, it's not the same as George W. Bush, it's not the same as Ronald Reagan.
00:19:59.000And he noted, I think this is a really good example.
00:20:01.000He talked about how just this week, CIA intelligence provided to Russia thwarted this horrible terrorist attack that was plotted for a cathedral in St. Petersburg.
00:20:12.000And he said, that's how it's supposed to work.
00:20:14.000And that's very, I think that's very telling that this is a Nixonian foreign policy.
00:20:19.000This is a pragmatic foreign policy that's built, I think, on pragmatism, that's built on nationalism, as opposed to.
00:20:28.000The Wilson type stuff that we hear from Republicans previously, where we have to go out into the world and we have to destroy Russia because they're evil.
00:20:38.000You know, not because we want more wealth for our people, not because we want more power for our country and we want to be able to defend our country, but we have to go out there and we have to F these people up because they're bad.
00:21:01.000And it's that subtle phraseology where he says, rival powers.
00:21:05.000A rival is not, there's no projection of malice, of malevolence on a rival.
00:21:12.000You know, a rival is like a rival sports team, a rival football team, a rival baseball team, a rival competitor.
00:21:18.000And there's this element of friendliness, or at the very least, kind of a mutual understanding that this is a game and you're both trying to win at it, and that's okay.
00:21:32.000The significance of that is that that will carve out a foreign policy for the United States that is predicated 100% on self interest.
00:21:40.000If there's a moral element to it, then that implies that there's an obligation, there's a duty, there's a responsibility.
00:21:48.000If there's an axis of evil, well, for us to be good, well, we have an obligation to go out and stop it.
00:21:54.000Even if it's costly to our lives and our money, we have to, it's their evil, and we have to.
00:22:01.000What kind of Christian people would we be if we didn't stop the evil oppressors in the Middle East?
00:22:07.000Or the evil empire, what kind of country would we be if we stood by and played great power politics with the Soviet Union while people are enslaved over there?
00:22:17.000But when you have a rival power, instead, you treat China and Russia in a very different capacity.
00:22:24.000That you will combat them only to the extent that it's within our interest to do so.
00:22:30.000And that's important because China and Russia will be the kingmakers in the next century.
00:22:35.000China is on a rise right now, and depending on who you ask, You know, that can either be a very intimidating thing.
00:22:43.000According to certain scholars like Mearsheimer, China will, you know, this will be the Chinese century.
00:23:41.000And the last thing I want to say on his speech before we get into the Twitter ban, the last thing, and this is the most important thing beyond all of that, is he said, He said, a nation without borders is not a nation.
00:23:54.000And I think that was, if you don't agree with my diagnosis on the non intervention stuff, even if you're a boomer hawk on foreign policy, you want to see us go into Iran like cowboys and blow them up.
00:24:07.000We're going to go over there and, you know, going to kick some ass.
00:24:10.000You know, maybe you disagree about the rival stuff.
00:24:13.000Maybe we need to be more proactive about China.
00:24:17.000But the thing we can all agree on, and this is axiomatic, this is the most important thing.
00:24:23.000A nation without borders is not a nation.
00:24:26.000And that is so important because, in that statement, what it says, what it does in effect, is it rebukes 50 years of American mythology, false, I would say, international,
00:24:42.000hostile, foreign, implanted American mythology about ourselves, which is to say that since the 1965 Immigration Act passed, we have defined our country as this anybody can come here and The reason that we're so great and what makes us American is that we're all American.
00:25:03.000You know, what makes us strong and what makes us really cool and what makes us who we are is that anybody can be who we are.
00:26:39.000You've seen how much the dialogue has changed with regards to immigration in just two years.
00:26:44.000Watch how much it'll change in the next three years.
00:26:48.000Because we went from Donald Trump announcing in June of 2015 it was June or July of 2015 when he made his announcement and he said illegals are bringing drugs, crime, and rapists.
00:26:59.000And that inaugurated the beginning of a real paradigm shift away from the conversation on immigration as it existed before.
00:27:08.000Before Donald Trump, the conversation was.
00:27:11.000We need to make it easier for people to get here.
00:27:14.000We have all these illegals, and they should basically get free shit and they should be given citizenship.
00:27:19.000And we should also make it easier for people to come here.
00:27:22.000The problem is, we want these people to pour in, but it's just so difficult, and that's why they're coming in illegally.
00:27:29.000So we should just streamline it so we could get as many foreigners in the country as possible.
00:27:34.000After Donald Trump, the conversation became illegals have to go back.
00:27:39.000You can come in, but you have to do it legally.
00:27:42.000We're 10 months into the presidency, and the conversation has shifted from.
00:27:46.000You can come here, but you have to do it legally, and there'll be a big door to chain migration has to go.
00:27:52.000The RAISE Act, half of legal immigration should be cut in the next 10 years.
00:27:58.000Changing it to a merit based system so that if you speak English, you get an easier one.
00:28:04.000So that if you're coming from Europe, you get an easier one.
00:28:06.000So if you're Christian, you get an easier one.
00:28:08.000Real paradigm shift in that conversation.
00:28:10.000That's very important and very telling when he keeps repeating this line a nation without borders is not a nation.
00:28:29.000You know, one of the most important powers and the only one that the president truly has unilateral authority to exercise is the bully pulpit, which is to say that the president, you know, cannot write bills, cannot vote on bills, cannot pass bills.
00:30:28.000The organization, they may deny that they use violence, but if Twitter decides that they do anyway, if Twitter says, you know, maybe you say you're not a violent organization, but we think you are anyway, they still consider that just as good as if they were self proclaimed violent.
00:30:44.000So, you know, basically, if Twitter doesn't like you, they could say you're part of a violent organization and you're out and some other rules.
00:30:51.000And there were many, many, many bans as a result of the new rules coming into effect today.
00:32:05.000And I love how it's just taken for granted that left wing Twitter and the vast majority of proles and centrists and the masses.
00:32:15.000They hear Twitter's banning Nazis, and they say, Oh, well, of course they're banning Nazis, but you really got to break it down that it's just outright lies.
00:32:24.000They say they want to ban hate speech, but they don't ban it from this side.
00:32:28.000They only ban it from this particular group.
00:32:30.000They don't ban it for all the Jewish people that hate Palestinians.
00:32:35.000They don't ban it for all the Palestinians that hate Jewish people.
00:32:38.000They don't ban it for the blacks that hate white people.
00:32:40.000They don't ban it, you know, it seems to really be only white people that might be a little bit skeptical or questioning of foreigners coming into our country.
00:32:50.000You know, it's not even that we hate them.
00:32:52.000It's that, hmm, maybe bringing in millions and millions and millions of them might not be the best idea.
00:33:23.000They didn't ban a lot of other undesirables on the alt right with bad optics, as I might say.
00:33:32.000I think that's very telling because YouTube also censored Jared Taylor.
00:33:35.000And we look at what Jared Taylor is putting out, what he's saying, what kind of content he's putting out there, what he presents to the public, and why he's getting censored.
00:33:46.000And you realize that he's getting censored because what he's doing just might work.
00:34:01.000But Jared Taylor, if enough people watch his videos, if enough people see his Twitter account, if enough people read his articles, read his books, it's over.
00:34:14.000Because a reasonable person could pick up a book by Jared Taylor and read it and agree with him and not be offended by it and not think it's hateful and actually.
00:34:24.000They might seriously rethink everything they've been told for a long time.
00:35:03.000Of course, maybe people are reading into that more than is due.
00:35:09.000It seems like it's been a pretty haphazard process in the sense that it doesn't look like deciding by which people Twitter banned and at what time they banned them that they had a systematic approach to this.
00:35:22.000But I think it is worth noting that he was the first one to go.
00:35:26.000He was the first victim of YouTube censorship.
00:35:28.000He was the first victim of Twitter censorship in this case.
00:35:33.000I think we can learn from that in the sense that if Twitter doesn't want people hearing his message, maybe we need to look at what he's doing and emulate that.
00:35:42.000Moreover, Moreover, we take for granted the glaring hypocrisy of Twitter just days ago talking about net neutrality.
00:35:51.000Twitter support tweeting out about we want to protect the free and open internet.
00:36:17.000The biggest censors on the internet, worse than Facebook, worse than Google, worse than YouTube.
00:36:25.000Not only that, I mean, does anybody remember how many years ago when the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, said he wanted Twitter to be the free speech wing of the free speech party?
00:36:37.000So there's, you know, politics and then there's the free speech wing.
00:37:03.000The freedom of speech is out of control on Twitter.
00:37:07.000And how many years did it take for that to completely evaporate, for that to just go away?
00:37:14.000And now, if you say something that Twitter doesn't like, if you're Avi, if your avatar, if your profile picture is a Groyper, if it's a cartoon frog, because the ADL said that that means you hate Jewish people, you're gone.
00:37:34.000You know, if you want to reach millions of people as you can on Twitter, now you got to go through a newspaper or a television station, you know, because you had a cartoon frog as your profile picture, because Jack Dorsey said so.
00:37:47.000That doesn't really sound like the free speech wing of the free speech party.
00:37:55.000But, you know, why should we hold anyone to any standards anymore?
00:38:00.000It's so funny because these were the same shitlibs during the 2016 election who told us after Donald Trump was elected, the Merriam Webster word of the year is post truth.
00:38:11.000And that was going to be their very big brained, very aloof, scholastic, looking down at Donald Trump.
00:38:21.000You know, okay, you won the election, you won the White House and the Congress, but, um, The word of the year for Merriam Webster is post truth because you're a liar.
00:38:32.000And it's so funny because think of what that means post truth.
00:38:36.000We're living in an era where it doesn't matter that the biggest companies and the biggest CEOs and the biggest politicians just lie to you, just tell you one thing and then give you the finger.
00:41:00.000I think it's very, very symptomatic of what's going on in the country.
00:41:06.000And very fitting that this was December 18th, of course, the birthday of Joseph Stalin, December 18th, 1878.
00:41:14.000Now, a fun fact here's a fun fact for you.
00:41:19.000It's actually disputed which date is Joseph Stalin's birthday.
00:41:24.000Because you see, I believe it was earlier on in his life, he noted his birthday as December 18th, 1878.
00:41:31.000But later, towards the 40s, when they celebrated his 60th birthday and they had a big birthday bash for him in the 1940s, so that would have been 49, they used a different date.
00:41:43.000Later on, they used the date December 21st, 1879, because December 21st, Was the winter solstice.
00:41:51.000And in the Soviet Union, they wanted to portray Stalin as like a god, as larger than life.
00:41:57.000So they actually took his birthday, which was, I think, more reputable, December 18th, 1878, and they changed it to the 21st so that it would coincide with the solstice.
00:42:07.000And I don't know why they made it a year later, but just a little fun fact for it.
00:42:11.000I was a very big, I was an enthusiast for Joseph Stalin, just a very fascinating character.
00:46:00.000Not only did we botch Iraq, but now we've botched the entire region because with Saddam Hussein gone, Iran was given free reign to do whatever they wanted in the region because there was no counterweight.
00:46:15.000There was no power that could oppose them.
00:46:18.000So Saudi Arabia wasn't going to be able to do it.
00:46:21.000Israel wasn't going to be able to do it because of the geography.
00:46:23.000Turkey couldn't do it because of the geography.
00:47:12.000And what I learned, and I took an African politics class and we studied this kind of stuff order is better than disorder.
00:47:21.000This is the lesson, and not even that, but if you read Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, the lesson is order is always, Few exceptions better than disorder.
00:47:37.000Better that you have an abuse of government authority than anarchy in the streets.
00:47:43.000And Thomas Hobbes, when he wrote Leviathan, he wrote it in the atmosphere of the English Civil War in the 17th century when it was a war of all against all.
00:47:53.000It was a war where you would be killed for going to work, your daily life would be interrupted by conflict.
00:48:00.000And he understood that that is the natural state.
00:48:05.000And unless you have a monopoly on force, unless you have the state or something like that, which is more powerful, which is 51% of the power in the country, can overpower everything else combined, you are going to have people stealing, you'll have people killing, you'll have war.
00:48:23.000And that was the context that he wrote that.
00:48:25.000And that was the thesis was that if you have Saddam Hussein and maybe you have government killings, maybe you have people disappearing in the middle of the night, maybe you have tyranny, that's better.
00:48:36.000Than like your living room exploding because either ISIS shot an RPG at you or there's a drone strike on you.
00:50:53.000I'm talking about Will Sommers, these like little, I don't even know, these weaselly little people who every time there's like a social media thing going on, they're out there with their little keyboard typing up a little article for Mike.com or for BuzzFeed or Salon.
00:51:29.000These are people who, you know, regular people go out and they're electricians or they build things in a factory or, you know, they make hours of fine content or they're technicians or, you know, people get up and they go to work.
00:51:45.000Jared Holt, for a living, is a gossiper.
00:51:48.000He gossips about right wing Twitter and gossips maliciously.
00:51:53.000It's not even like e news where it's harmless and it's benign.
00:51:56.000Well, maybe, you know, it's arguably very spiritually malicious, but.
00:52:02.000E news, they talk about, you know, oh, who's Brad Pitt going out with?
00:52:10.000But this little weasel, this little rat, Jared Holt, I mean, he sits online and this is his job.
00:52:16.000He gets paid a salary for this to type up these little hit pieces about e celebrities with 20,000 followers, 25,000, 30,000 followers, and say, oh, you know, Jared Taylor's at it again.
00:53:46.000But here's the problem with the alt right there's this tractor beam.
00:53:53.000There's like a black hole at the center of it, of like unironic national socialists.
00:53:59.000And there's a tractor beam, there's a gravity that is pulling everything down into this black hole that everybody wants to appeal to these people.
00:54:09.000They want to say the edgiest things, the edgiest memes.
00:54:13.000Take the most extreme positions so they can get approval from these people.
00:56:35.000They're not thinking about that when they put out content and when they say the things they do and they put out the songs and whatever and they name their shows and they come up with their memes.
00:59:05.000So I watch their content, and it's good content.
00:59:07.000A lot of it's funny, a lot of it's fresh, it's informative.
00:59:10.000The graphics are very good, the production quality is high, but then they squander it with this LARPy stuff, and it's unfortunate, is what it is.
01:00:18.000I remember campaigning there, and a lot of people are not thrilled even then with Nealon.
01:00:23.000And a lot of that, I think, was because Paul Ryan is so well liked in that district.
01:00:27.000They've been electing him for 20 years.
01:00:29.000But, yeah, that is the problem with that strategy, is maybe that would have worked.
01:00:34.000I don't know where that would have worked.
01:00:36.000But it wouldn't have worked where he's trying to make it work.
01:00:40.000I mean, maybe that would work in, I don't know, Alabama or Wyoming.
01:00:45.000I don't want to say Alabama because we just saw what happened to Roy Moore, but it definitely wouldn't have a superior or optimal appeal in a district like Congressional District 1 of Wisconsin.
01:02:23.000But I have heard that he said some dubious things about the Catholic Church and just seems to me like just a third world populist dictator.
01:03:23.000But nobody said broadly, Red Ice is bad, they don't do any good.
01:03:28.000I just love the defensiveness of people on the right wing, where you give the slightest criticism of certain people, you, who's watching, probably not watching it, but you and people know who I'm referring to, and other organizations, where this is the movement that's supposed to take on the global establishment.
01:06:23.000I hope that doesn't come across as arrogant or anything, but I don't know how anybody in their right mind could think that paganism from 2,000 years ago could have any kind of resonance or appeal.
01:07:19.000They do not believe that their Viking Nordic magic exists.
01:07:24.000They want to take part in it because they don't have an identity.
01:07:29.000Okay, construct an identity, but based on something that's relevant, something that you believe in.
01:07:36.000You know, people, I think neoliberals in a way are smarter than pagans because at least neoliberals, they've constructed an identity that they believe in.
01:08:08.000Pagans are like the equivalent of those people on that show from the 2000s where people are obsessed with booberries or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
01:09:31.000Crashed Pelican, I think modern art institutions must be dominated by animists due to the drop in quality.
01:09:38.000That's probably true because, you know, art is a very difficult thing if it's practiced correctly.
01:09:45.000The craft of art, the reason why art was valued and is valued is because it's difficult because, you know, the regular layperson couldn't just do it.
01:09:55.000Anybody can draw, anybody can draw a stick figure.
01:09:58.000Everybody with like a 30 day class could sketch something reasonably well.
01:10:03.000But the craft of art is in the perfecting it, getting the 10,000 hours into master art.
01:10:10.000You know, we've gotten away from mastery where you have an apprentice and, you know, you actually spend your life perfecting a skill and then you do it better than anybody in the world.
01:10:20.000I mean, you just won't have that kind of talent when they're trying to churn people out of art schools, of course.
01:10:26.000That's why it's animists or it's just garbage if it's anything else.
01:10:51.000The Russians essentially have this new banking network, this economic pact with the Eastern European countries and the Central Asian countries.
01:11:01.000That took the place of the Warsaw Pact.
01:12:37.000Mike Healy says the alt right needs to read more Chesterton and C.S. Lewis to truly understand Christianity's significance in Western countries.
01:13:01.000On all the alt right book lists, you got a lot of Heidegger, you got a lot of Nietzsche, you got a lot of Guillaume Fay, you got a lot of Kierkegaard, and all the rest.
01:13:48.000And you test it because they have an intellectual problem with Christianity, or is it because they don't want to be responsible, virtuous people in their own lives?
