00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:03.000 You are watching America First.
00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:11.000 But it is not a great day.
00:00:14.000 Not a great day for the right, not a great day for Twitter.
00:00:18.000 As you know, the great Twitter purge has commenced as of this morning, 9 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
00:00:27.000 And so while we have a great show, while there's so much to get to, It's not a great day.
00:00:35.000 It's going to be a very difficult week for us on the right.
00:00:40.000 A lot of our e friends, a lot of our favorite accounts, our favorite mutuals are going under.
00:00:46.000 They're going away.
00:00:47.000 All that great content lost like tears in the rain.
00:00:52.000 And so we're trying to cope with that.
00:00:54.000 But we are talking about tonight.
00:00:55.000 We will get to the great Twitter purge, a full recap of it, I promise.
00:01:01.000 We're going to talk about who we will not be seeing around anymore, who will be.
00:01:06.000 Missing.
00:01:07.000 We'll talk about why the date is so important.
00:01:12.000 December 18th, very curious date.
00:01:14.000 You know, somebody was born in 1878 on this day, and we'll get into that.
00:01:19.000 But first, before we get into any of that, I want to talk about Donald Trump's foreign policy speech.
00:01:25.000 Now, this got completely overshadowed.
00:01:27.000 Maybe 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.
00:01:39.000 So, Maybe that's just me that this bigger news got overshadowed by the Twitter drama.
00:01:44.000 But President Trump gave a major foreign policy speech, foreign policy slash national security speech this afternoon.
00:01:54.000 Very 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.
00:02:11.000 And I missed this really until I started looking through my notes.
00:02:14.000 I 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.
00:02:23.000 But this was some very important stuff.
00:02:25.000 So he laid it out today, and we'll go over it.
00:02:29.000 The major parts that he talked about, he talked about, and are we really, we're already getting into it.
00:02:34.000 We're already getting into the boring policy stuff.
00:02:38.000 Are we already jumping right into it?
00:02:40.000 I hope everyone had a great weekend.
00:02:42.000 I will say that before we jump right into it.
00:02:44.000 The four pillars and the analytics of the international relations.
00:02:49.000 I hope everyone had a great weekend.
00:02:50.000 Hope we are back and are ready for a big week of America First.
00:02:55.000 There was a little bit more drama on Twitter than just the purge.
00:02:59.000 There 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.
00:03:07.000 But I don't know.
00:03:09.000 Just a little friendly burp.
00:03:10.000 I feel like we just went right into it today, really going hard.
00:03:14.000 But there is much to get to.
00:03:16.000 So.
00:03:17.000 He 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.
00:03:34.000 And if you heard the speech, if you watched the whole thing, really incredible, important speech.
00:03:42.000 If 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.
00:04:13.000 Of epic proportions that has squandered and thrown in the garbage everything that the United States of America was supposed to be.
00:04:22.000 And this is the trouble with conservatism.
00:04:24.000 This 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.
00:04:38.000 They want to preserve the traditions, the culture that is America.
00:04:43.000 That's what it means to be a conservative.
00:04:45.000 And 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.
00:05:04.000 And that is that the American nation was founded on self reliance and, as a result, ostensibly a smaller government.
00:05:14.000 I know we tend to make fun of the small government meme on this show.
00:05:19.000 What I mean by small government is national government.
00:05:23.000 A government that is small but is sovereign, and the people are sovereign over it.
00:05:28.000 But since 1947, the Republicans have completely turned their backs on that.
00:05:33.000 In 1947, the reason I use that year is because after World War II, you saw Great Britain give up all of her colonial possessions.
00:05:42.000 Great Britain, France, all the European powers giving up their colonial possessions because they were bankrupt after two world wars.
00:05:50.000 So, what you saw after 1945 was countries like India.
00:05:54.000 Countries all over Africa, countries all over the world, really, basically coming under the control of national governments, regional governments, where they are.
00:06:04.000 So Great Britain gave up her colonial empire, France, Germany, and so on and so forth, and so on and so on.
00:06:11.000 And in 1947, Great Britain handed off Turkey and Greece to the United States.
00:06:17.000 After World War II, the United States entered into a period of cold conflict, which would eventually become the Cold War.
00:06:25.000 Between us and the Soviet Union.
00:06:27.000 And 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.
00:06:41.000 And so in 1947, they officially passed the buck, that financial responsibility from the United Kingdom to the United States.
00:06:49.000 And what happened was, Harry Truman got the heads of the Republican Party and the heads of the Democratic Party in a room essentially.
00:06:56.000 It was.
00:06:57.000 This 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.
00:07:09.000 And if those two countries became at risk, then the Soviet Union would have access to Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
00:07:17.000 So 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.
00:07:25.000 And so Harry Truman got the heads of both parties in the room.
00:07:28.000 And on the Republican side, he got Mr. Republican, which was Taft.
00:07:32.000 I think that was either the son or the grandson.
00:07:35.000 It was some relative of President Taft.
00:07:38.000 But they got Robert Taft, who is Mr. Republican, in the room.
00:07:41.000 And surprisingly, many people do not know this.
00:07:44.000 But in 1947, after World War II, the Republican Party was an isolationist party.
00:07:52.000 The Republican Party was a non interventionist party.
00:07:56.000 After World War II, both the Democrats and the Republicans wanted the United States to come home.
00:08:02.000 They said, you know what?
00:08:03.000 We had to go and do it because we were attacked, obviously, in Pearl Harbor.
00:08:08.000 We had to go out and defend Europe.
00:08:09.000 We had to go and save the world.
00:08:11.000 But now we're done.
00:08:13.000 We had World War I, shouldn't have gotten involved there.
00:08:16.000 We had World War II, shouldn't have gotten involved there.
00:08:19.000 And now we're done.
00:08:20.000 We're way over our skis in debt.
00:08:23.000 We're way overextended across the world.
00:08:25.000 And now we need to come home.
00:08:26.000 And that was Mr. Republican Robert Taft, the head, the most popular Republican in the country at the time.
00:08:32.000 But he got in this meeting with President Harry Truman, where he explained to the heads of both parties the situation, which was.
00:08:40.000 The Soviet Union is expanding rapidly.
00:08:42.000 They've taken over Eastern Europe.
00:08:44.000 They're expanding into Central Asia.
00:08:46.000 They're expanding into the Middle East through the Caucasus.
00:08:48.000 And 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.
00:08:57.000 It would be regional hegemony for the Soviet Union, and that would put American interests at stake and the American homeland at stake.
00:09:05.000 So they both said, the heads of both parties said, all right, reluctantly, they said, all right, Harry Truman, we will vote on it.
00:09:14.000 We 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.
00:09:14.000 We will.
00:09:22.000 And 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.
00:09:47.000 And at the time, it made sense.
00:09:50.000 That's the worst part about it.
00:09:51.000 At the time, it made sense.
00:09:53.000 From 1947 to 1991, that was an appropriate policy.
00:09:59.000 Because you understand that the Soviet Union posed, at the time, an existential threat to the survival of the United States.
00:10:06.000 And we hear existential all day long, but it posed a risk to the survival of the United States.
00:10:12.000 In that, when they got a nuclear arsenal, when they got a hydrogen bomb, ICBMs, They're expanding into every theater across the globe.
00:10:21.000 And their goal under Joseph Stalin for a very long time was global communist empire.
00:10:27.000 You know, it didn't become socialism in one country until later.
00:10:31.000 That posed risk to the United States.
00:10:32.000 So, from 47 to 91, the duration of the Cold War, it made sense that this was the foreign policy.
00:10:40.000 It made sense that this was the policy of our country.
00:10:44.000 It completely flew in the face of our tradition, of our constitution.
00:10:48.000 Our 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.
00:11:00.000 Because 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.
00:11:08.000 Made sense, okay.
00:11:10.000 But in 1991, what happened?
00:11:13.000 In 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.
00:11:30.000 It's falling apart.
00:11:31.000 They're going bankrupt.
00:11:32.000 Germany breaks off.
00:11:34.000 Poland breaks off.
00:11:35.000 China aligns with the United States or balances against the Soviet Union with the United States.
00:11:41.000 Their position in the Middle East is falling apart.
00:11:43.000 Their position in Central America is falling apart.
00:11:46.000 And in 1991, finally, the Soviet Union comes down.
00:11:50.000 Russia is independent.
00:11:51.000 Eastern Bloc is independent.
00:11:53.000 Central Asia is independent.
00:11:55.000 And the threat is averted.
00:11:57.000 That 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.
00:12:05.000 Going 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.
00:12:15.000 In 1991, that threat subsided.
00:12:17.000 And what should have happened?
00:12:19.000 What 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.
00:12:31.000 You know, we fund a social safety net, we build up our infrastructure, we invest in our education.
00:12:36.000 We consolidate our gains essentially at home.
00:12:39.000 We help our own people.
00:12:41.000 We go back to doing what is within our principles and our values.
00:12:44.000 But that did not happen.
00:12:46.000 What happened instead?
00:12:47.000 After 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.
00:12:55.000 And 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.
00:13:09.000 All of these people coming home and all the money coming home and reinvested into our country.
00:13:13.000 Instead, 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.
00:13:23.000 Yeah, except for in Vietnam and Korea and Nicaragua, forget all that.
00:13:28.000 But 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.
00:13:39.000 On planet Earth, we've got a problem with all of a sudden Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, Korea.
00:13:44.000 I mean, you name it, we've got a problem with them.
00:13:49.000 And all of this to the detriment in the Republican Party of our stated, our core axiomatic first principles tradition.
00:13:59.000 And what is the tradition?
00:14:01.000 Sovereignty, Republican sovereignty of the people.
00:14:04.000 Our government must be sovereign, our government must be independent and by the people.
00:14:09.000 And we haven't gotten that.
00:14:11.000 And Republicans got away from that in 1991.
00:14:14.000 You know, there was that brief intermission where it made sense after 1991.
00:14:18.000 It 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.
00:14:28.000 So when you hear President Trump get up there, I mean, that's the context of these four pillars for this foreign policy speech.
00:14:36.000 The four pillars being protecting the American homeland, promoting American prosperity.
00:14:41.000 Demonstrating peace through strength and advancing America's interests.
00:14:45.000 You didn't hear anything in there about climate change.
00:14:48.000 You didn't hear anything in there about human rights.
00:14:51.000 You didn't hear anything in there about any of the Wilsonian idealistic projects that we've been pursuing for 25 years.
00:14:59.000 None of it.
00:15:00.000 Nothing about spreading and promoting democracy.
00:15:03.000 Nothing about an axis of evil.
00:15:06.000 But promoting our interests, protecting our people, protecting our prosperity.
00:15:12.000 And that's what we like to hear.
00:15:13.000 So that was a real game changer, and it was really great to hear him say that.
00:15:17.000 Hopefully, we'll see some follow through.
00:15:19.000 I know a lot of people have been disenfranchised with President Trump's foreign policy, and I think it's because they misunderstand it.
00:15:26.000 You know, what we've seen really over the past 10 months since he's been in office is everything he promised.
00:15:32.000 You 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.
00:15:41.000 But he has conducted a pretty sensible, very pragmatic, and I think the most realistic contraction of American maybe extension.
00:15:52.000 And that sounds kind of simplistic, but not a contraction of American influence, but.
00:15:58.000 A 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?
00:16:12.000 It has been the destruction of ISIS.
00:16:14.000 And why?
00:16:15.000 Because ISIS poses a threat to the United States.
00:16:20.000 Under Barack Obama, we were doing drone missions in every country in the Middle East, in Somalia and Pakistan and Yemen.
00:16:28.000 Every country.
00:16:29.000 We deposed Muammar Gaddafi.
00:16:31.000 We sat silent while Hosni Mubarak was deposed.
00:16:34.000 We encouraged the Arab Spring, all kinds of meddling.
00:16:38.000 We 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.
00:16:48.000 And under President Trump, you haven't seen any of that.
00:16:50.000 Under President Trump, it's been defeat ISIS.
00:16:52.000 That's it.
00:16:53.000 End of story.
00:16:54.000 Do that, and then we'll see what happens.
00:16:57.000 And what has been the result?
00:16:58.000 In the past 10 months, we've defeated ISIS.
00:17:01.000 And 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.
00:17:15.000 And we've done that 100% in a shorter amount of time than Barack Obama could have dreamed of doing or Hillary Clinton.
00:17:22.000 And so, very encouraging.
00:17:23.000 He said those four pillars are the foreign policy, and that was exciting.
00:17:28.000 And then, on top of that, some nuance here in that foreign policy speech, because he laid out the four pillars.
00:17:34.000 About sovereignty, about nationalism, and all that.
00:17:38.000 But he also said that Russia and China were rival powers.
00:17:43.000 And this is very interesting terminology for the international relations nerds.
00:17:48.000 Because if you look at, and I hate the word nerds, I regret that I just said that, our international relations scholars.
00:17:55.000 Nerds is such, it's one of those pop culture phrases where, you know, I'm a nerd.
00:18:01.000 And it's like, no, you're not a nerd.
00:18:03.000 You see intellectual pursuits.
00:18:06.000 As, like, a kitschy hobby.
00:18:07.000 You think that if you like politics, it's like collecting stamps or something.
00:18:11.000 It just deprives it of all the gravitas that it deserves.
00:18:15.000 So, 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.
00:18:27.000 Because 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.
00:18:34.000 This is a really Nixonian.
00:18:37.000 Strain of conservative thought that we're hearing from President Trump.
00:18:41.000 And you hear that when he says rival powers, because you understand that when it was Ronald Reagan, what did he call the Soviet Union?
00:18:48.000 It was moralistic, it was a moral battle.
00:18:48.000 Evil empire.
00:18:52.000 The free, liberal, capitalist West against the evil, tyrannical empire of slavery with the Soviet Union.
00:19:00.000 No compromise.
00:19:01.000 There can be no compromise, no appeasement, no detente.
00:19:04.000 We have to destroy them.
00:19:06.000 Under George W. Bush, it was the axis of evil.
00:19:10.000 It wasn't Saddam Hussein who was, I don't know, a nationalist leader.
00:19:16.000 It wasn't North Korea who sought a deterrent capability.
00:19:20.000 No, they were an axis of evil.
00:19:21.000 There was malice about them.
00:19:23.000 It was the Christian crusading United States against the evil powers of Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.
00:19:31.000 And in Donald Trump, which he's really setting his own foreign policy, his own Trump doctrine, we've really gotten away from that.
00:19:38.000 We've gotten away from the moralizing, the good and evil to rival powers.
00:19:43.000 And he says, you know, Russia and China are going to pursue their own interests.
00:19:47.000 And they're going to try and degrade our influence and degrade our prosperity.
00:19:52.000 And that we should expect that.
00:19:53.000 You know, why wouldn't they do that?
00:19:55.000 They're pursuing their interests just like we will.
00:19:58.000 And that's fine.
00:19:59.000 And he noted, I think this is a really good example.
00:20:01.000 He 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.
00:20:12.000 And he said, that's how it's supposed to work.
00:20:14.000 And that's very, I think that's very telling that this is a Nixonian foreign policy.
00:20:19.000 This is a pragmatic foreign policy that's built, I think, on pragmatism, that's built on nationalism, as opposed to.
00:20:28.000 The 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.
00:20:38.000 You 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.
00:20:52.000 They're bad and they deserve it.
00:20:55.000 And the Iraqis want to be liberated and that's our job.
00:20:58.000 You know, none of that.
00:20:59.000 And that's, I think, a real turn.
00:21:01.000 And it's that subtle phraseology where he says, rival powers.
00:21:05.000 A rival is not, there's no projection of malice, of malevolence on a rival.
00:21:12.000 You know, a rival is like a rival sports team, a rival football team, a rival baseball team, a rival competitor.
00:21:18.000 And 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.
00:21:28.000 And so that's a really big win.
00:21:30.000 And here's why.
00:21:32.000 The significance of that is that that will carve out a foreign policy for the United States that is predicated 100% on self interest.
00:21:40.000 If there's a moral element to it, then that implies that there's an obligation, there's a duty, there's a responsibility.
00:21:48.000 If there's an axis of evil, well, for us to be good, well, we have an obligation to go out and stop it.
00:21:54.000 Even if it's costly to our lives and our money, we have to, it's their evil, and we have to.
00:22:01.000 What kind of Christian people would we be if we didn't stop the evil oppressors in the Middle East?
00:22:07.000 Or 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?
00:22:17.000 But when you have a rival power, instead, you treat China and Russia in a very different capacity.
00:22:24.000 That you will combat them only to the extent that it's within our interest to do so.
00:22:30.000 And that's important because China and Russia will be the kingmakers in the next century.
00:22:35.000 China is on a rise right now, and depending on who you ask, You know, that can either be a very intimidating thing.
00:22:43.000 According to certain scholars like Mearsheimer, China will, you know, this will be the Chinese century.
00:22:49.000 They'll overtake us.
00:22:50.000 They'll be more powerful than us because of population.
00:22:53.000 Their economy will outgrow ours.
00:22:55.000 Their military will outgrow ours, and very scary stuff.
00:22:58.000 On the flip side, many people say that China's economy is built on a debt bubble, which is true.
00:23:04.000 You know, all of their economic growth is the result of credit.
00:23:08.000 They've just been spending and spending and spending money they don't have on infrastructure projects.
00:23:13.000 And in a very Keynesian model, once all of that dries up, the whole thing could explode.
00:23:18.000 So, it's debatable to what extent China will be a player, if they'll be more powerful or just a regional hegemon like they are now.
00:23:28.000 But regardless, these are the players that will shape the world order in the next century.
00:23:32.000 And it makes sense for us to be cooperative with them.
00:23:34.000 And that's the key word.
00:23:36.000 You cooperate with your rivals, but you still want to win.
00:23:39.000 And so, very good stuff out of Trump.
00:23:41.000 And 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.
00:23:54.000 And 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.
00:24:07.000 We're going to go over there and, you know, going to kick some ass.
00:24:10.000 You know, maybe you disagree about the rival stuff.
00:24:13.000 Maybe we need to be more proactive about China.
00:24:15.000 Maybe China isn't a threat.
00:24:17.000 But the thing we can all agree on, and this is axiomatic, this is the most important thing.
00:24:23.000 A nation without borders is not a nation.
00:24:26.000 And 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,
00:24:42.000 hostile, 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.
00:25:03.000 You 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.
00:25:09.000 That's what makes us great.
00:25:11.000 It's not that we have a great work ethic.
00:25:13.000 It's not because we work harder than everybody.
00:25:15.000 It's not because we're smarter than everybody.
00:25:18.000 Not because we're tougher than everybody and more self reliant and it's a certain group of people.
00:25:23.000 No, no, no.
00:25:23.000 What makes us great is that we attract the best and brightest.
00:25:28.000 It's because we're bringing in millions of people.
00:25:32.000 We're bringing in millions of illiterate peasants from Mexico.
00:25:35.000 And that's what makes us great.
00:25:36.000 That's what makes us strong.
00:25:38.000 It's none of that other stuff.
00:25:39.000 Landing on the moon, that's peanuts compared to the grape farmers that are pouring across our border.
00:25:46.000 And the least we can ask them to do is fill out a piece of paper, and they can't do that much.
00:25:52.000 And what Donald Trump says when he says that we are not a nation without borders is he is turning the page on that chapter.
00:26:00.000 That was a lie.
00:26:01.000 That was BS.
00:26:03.000 And this new position.
00:26:05.000 The old position is back in American politics.
00:26:08.000 America as we knew it is backed.
00:26:11.000 We are not the orphanage of the world anymore.
00:26:14.000 We are not the orphanage for the nation's poor and sorry and illiterate and stupid and disabled.
00:26:21.000 We're America again, and we know what that means.
00:26:24.000 We're America the way it was.
00:26:26.000 We're America what it meant to be before all these lies, before these hostile, foreign, international lies.
00:26:33.000 And so it's so important that he said that about the borders.
00:26:36.000 And mark my words.
00:26:39.000 You've seen how much the dialogue has changed with regards to immigration in just two years.
00:26:44.000 Watch how much it'll change in the next three years.
00:26:48.000 Because 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.
00:26:59.000 And that inaugurated the beginning of a real paradigm shift away from the conversation on immigration as it existed before.
00:27:08.000 Before Donald Trump, the conversation was.
00:27:11.000 We need to make it easier for people to get here.
00:27:14.000 We have all these illegals, and they should basically get free shit and they should be given citizenship.
00:27:19.000 And we should also make it easier for people to come here.
00:27:22.000 The problem is, we want these people to pour in, but it's just so difficult, and that's why they're coming in illegally.
00:27:29.000 So we should just streamline it so we could get as many foreigners in the country as possible.
00:27:34.000 After Donald Trump, the conversation became illegals have to go back.
00:27:39.000 You can come in, but you have to do it legally.
00:27:42.000 We're 10 months into the presidency, and the conversation has shifted from.
00:27:46.000 You can come here, but you have to do it legally, and there'll be a big door to chain migration has to go.
00:27:52.000 The RAISE Act, half of legal immigration should be cut in the next 10 years.
00:27:58.000 Changing it to a merit based system so that if you speak English, you get an easier one.
00:28:04.000 So that if you're coming from Europe, you get an easier one.
00:28:06.000 So if you're Christian, you get an easier one.
00:28:08.000 Real paradigm shift in that conversation.
00:28:10.000 That's very important and very telling when he keeps repeating this line a nation without borders is not a nation.
00:28:18.000 He's with us.
00:28:19.000 We know what that means.
00:28:21.000 So that was his speech.
00:28:22.000 Very white pilling, very, very exciting times.
00:28:25.000 And hopefully that'll translate into policy.
00:28:28.000 Very tough.
00:28:29.000 You 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.
00:28:45.000 They don't have judicial review.
00:28:46.000 They don't have edicts like they do in Russia.
00:28:48.000 They literally have.
00:28:49.000 Edicts that the president can do in Russia and other countries.
00:28:53.000 The president enforces the law, the president executes the law, executive orders that's kind of out there.
00:29:00.000 But the predominant power that they can exercise, in my opinion, the most powerful, is to set the direction with rhetoric, with language.
00:29:08.000 And hopefully this will translate into policy.
00:29:11.000 It's very difficult for one man to pull the entire bureaucracy, the departments, the Congress, I mean, the country on one man's back.
00:29:20.000 I think we'll see it.
00:29:22.000 But it's important that we set this tone rhetorically before that happens.
00:29:27.000 You know, people say, you know, he's giving it in speeches, but you're still seeing troops in Afghanistan.
00:29:33.000 You know, you got to give it time.
00:29:34.000 First, you got to be able to say it, and then we'll see the change.
00:29:37.000 But that's the speech.
00:29:38.000 The next big thing that we saw today, and this was very tough, very not fun.
00:29:48.000 You know, we were watching it all morning with anticipation, nervous.
00:29:54.000 Anxious anticipation.
00:29:55.000 I stayed up all night.
00:29:58.000 I'm watching it at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 8 a.m., to 9 a.m. when the purge started on Twitter.
00:30:05.000 And we finally see what that was all about.
00:30:08.000 Today, Twitter started to enforce their rules, their new rules, which they set forth earlier in November.
00:30:15.000 And some of the new rules were that they banned hateful imagery from Twitter, they banned people from violent organizations.
00:30:24.000 And here's the catch with that one.
00:30:26.000 Here's the catch with that one.
00:30:28.000 The 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.
00:30:44.000 So, 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.
00:30:51.000 And there were many, many, many bans as a result of the new rules coming into effect today.
00:30:57.000 Jared Taylor.
00:30:58.000 Was banned.
00:30:59.000 Jared Taylor's organization, American Renaissance, was banned.
00:31:03.000 Jada Franson, who tweeted those Muslim videos that Donald Trump retweeted, she was banned.
00:31:09.000 Many other Britain First accounts were banned.
00:31:12.000 Generation Identity, Nordic Front, the Traditionalist Workers' Party, League of the South, and Hunter Wallace were all banned.
00:31:19.000 And that's not a complete list, but those are the big names that were taken out today.
00:31:24.000 It became clear that this was not about hateful imagery.
00:31:28.000 This was not about political violence.
00:31:30.000 This was about the alt right, as it always is.
00:31:33.000 You know, and I think we kind of take for granted that Twitter and the mainstream media, they just outright lie.
00:31:39.000 They just outright lie through their teeth about this.
00:31:43.000 It's about hateful imagery.
00:31:45.000 It's about hate speech.
00:31:46.000 It's about political violence.
00:31:48.000 But you notice that Antifa still has all their accounts.
00:31:52.000 All the anti white racists still have their accounts.
00:31:56.000 Kevin Spacey still has his account.
00:31:59.000 He's admitted to sexual violence.
00:32:01.000 He still has his account.
00:32:04.000 So it's really not about any of that.
00:32:05.000 And I love how it's just taken for granted that left wing Twitter and the vast majority of proles and centrists and the masses.
00:32:15.000 They 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.
00:32:24.000 They say they want to ban hate speech, but they don't ban it from this side.
00:32:28.000 They only ban it from this particular group.
00:32:30.000 They don't ban it for all the Jewish people that hate Palestinians.
00:32:35.000 They don't ban it for all the Palestinians that hate Jewish people.
00:32:38.000 They don't ban it for the blacks that hate white people.
00:32:40.000 They 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.
00:32:50.000 You know, it's not even that we hate them.
00:32:52.000 It's that, hmm, maybe bringing in millions and millions and millions of them might not be the best idea.
00:32:58.000 So we know what it's about.
00:33:00.000 But they banned all these accounts, and I think it's really telling which ones they banned.
00:33:05.000 On top of the fact that it was the alt right and it's politically motivated, obviously, look at which accounts they banned.
00:33:13.000 Look at which accounts they didn't ban.
00:33:15.000 They banned Jared Taylor.
00:33:17.000 They didn't ban Richard Spencer.
00:33:19.000 They banned Jared Taylor.
00:33:20.000 They didn't ban David Duke.
00:33:22.000 They banned Jared Taylor.
00:33:23.000 They didn't ban a lot of other undesirables on the alt right with bad optics, as I might say.
00:33:32.000 I think that's very telling because YouTube also censored Jared Taylor.
00:33:35.000 And 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.
00:33:46.000 And you realize that he's getting censored because what he's doing just might work.
00:33:51.000 That's why they ban him.
00:33:53.000 They're not going to ban these other guys because it's not going to work.
00:33:56.000 Ridiculous, silly stuff.
00:33:58.000 It might actually help their side.
00:34:01.000 But 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.
00:34:11.000 It's done.
00:34:12.000 The establishment is done.
00:34:14.000 Because 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.
00:34:24.000 They might seriously rethink everything they've been told for a long time.
00:34:29.000 And that's dangerous.
00:34:31.000 And it's because Jared Taylor wears a suit.
00:34:34.000 And Jared Taylor is civil and he's polite.
00:34:37.000 And he went to an Ivy League school and he's very smart.
00:34:41.000 And he only comes out with data, not memes, not jokes.
00:34:45.000 He doesn't sing.
00:34:46.000 He doesn't dance.
00:34:48.000 He doesn't go on a college tour.
00:34:50.000 It's just the data, it's just the content, it's just the arguments.
00:34:55.000 He takes himself seriously.
00:34:57.000 People might take him seriously, and that's why he's a serious threat.
00:35:02.000 And that's just a postulate.
00:35:03.000 Of course, maybe people are reading into that more than is due.
00:35:09.000 It 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.
00:35:22.000 But I think it is worth noting that he was the first one to go.
00:35:26.000 He was the first victim of YouTube censorship.
00:35:28.000 He was the first victim of Twitter censorship in this case.
00:35:32.000 And I think that says a lot.
00:35:33.000 I 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.
00:35:42.000 Moreover, Moreover, we take for granted the glaring hypocrisy of Twitter just days ago talking about net neutrality.
00:35:51.000 Twitter support tweeting out about we want to protect the free and open internet.
00:35:56.000 The free and open internet.
00:35:57.000 We'll do everything in our power to protect the free and open internet.
00:36:01.000 And just these shit eating people who run these companies, who run these Silicon Valley companies, who run these media companies.
00:36:11.000 Like, how did they wake up and look themselves in the mirror?
00:36:15.000 You care about the free and open internet and you're.
00:36:15.000 Really?
00:36:17.000 The biggest censors on the internet, worse than Facebook, worse than Google, worse than YouTube.
00:36:25.000 Not 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?
00:36:37.000 So there's, you know, politics and then there's the free speech wing.
00:36:41.000 We're really for free speech.
00:36:43.000 He wanted to be what the free speech party was for politics, but for the free speech party.
00:36:50.000 Here's politics.
00:36:51.000 Here's free speech.
00:36:52.000 Here's free speech.
00:36:54.000 Here, Jack Dorsey said, we want to be all the way over here.
00:36:56.000 We're going to be so free speech that even the free speech people are going to be like, you're crazy.
00:37:02.000 It's too free.
00:37:03.000 The freedom of speech is out of control on Twitter.
00:37:07.000 And how many years did it take for that to completely evaporate, for that to just go away?
00:37:14.000 And 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.
00:37:29.000 You can never return.
00:37:31.000 You have no voice.
00:37:32.000 Good luck.
00:37:34.000 You 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.
00:37:47.000 That doesn't really sound like the free speech wing of the free speech party.
00:37:51.000 That sounds like the censor.
00:37:54.000 Wing of the censor party.
00:37:55.000 But, you know, why should we hold anyone to any standards anymore?
00:38:00.000 It'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.
00:38:11.000 And that was going to be their very big brained, very aloof, scholastic, looking down at Donald Trump.
00:38:19.000 They were so above it all.
00:38:21.000 You 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.
00:38:32.000 And it's so funny because think of what that means post truth.
00:38:36.000 We'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.
00:38:50.000 Does that not faze anybody?
00:38:52.000 Does nobody think, gee, there's something really seriously wrong with that?
00:38:59.000 That nobody is accountable for anything that they've said or done ever.
00:39:04.000 We're the free speech wing of the Free Speech Party.
00:39:07.000 Two days ago, two days ago, we're going to fight for the free and open internet before mass censorship of political dissidents.
00:39:15.000 And there's just absolutely no accountability.
00:39:19.000 Not from the media, not from the government, not from the business world.
00:39:24.000 There is not one person of integrity, not one person of conscience, not one prominent person who will say that.
00:39:32.000 And not one person who will give that person a voice.
00:39:34.000 The people who are calling these people to account are people with 25 followers talking about.
00:39:41.000 German idealism and fairies, okay?
00:39:45.000 And what kind of a planet is that?
00:39:47.000 Is that a direction we should continue going down?
00:39:50.000 Is that a good practice?
00:39:51.000 Is that good for our country that nobody's accountable for the things they say and do?
00:39:56.000 Is that a good thing to replicate?
00:39:57.000 Is that something we're willing to concede?
00:40:00.000 These are the questions we have to ask ourselves.
00:40:03.000 I think many people have conceded this.
00:40:05.000 I think many people have conceded this because they think it's futile to hold people to their own standards.
00:40:11.000 But we shouldn't concede it.
00:40:13.000 Telling the truth matters.
00:40:15.000 Being held accountable matters.
00:40:17.000 That's everything for people in power.
00:40:20.000 You know, us conservatives, traditionalist conservatives, believe in authority.
00:40:26.000 We believe in hierarchy.
00:40:27.000 But what's necessary for that is good governance, and that's accountability.
00:40:32.000 If you don't have that, you have nothing.
00:40:35.000 You don't have a society.
00:40:37.000 You do not have a coherent social organism.
00:40:42.000 You have domination that is only a little bit less crude than rape.
00:40:46.000 And that's not an exaggeration.
00:40:48.000 So, those are the Twitter bans.
00:40:51.000 Maybe people are going to be like, eCelebrity is being very dramatic about his little online account.
00:40:59.000 But it does matter.
00:41:00.000 I think it's very, very symptomatic of what's going on in the country.
00:41:06.000 And very fitting that this was December 18th, of course, the birthday of Joseph Stalin, December 18th, 1878.
00:41:14.000 Now, a fun fact here's a fun fact for you.
00:41:19.000 It's actually disputed which date is Joseph Stalin's birthday.
00:41:24.000 Because you see, I believe it was earlier on in his life, he noted his birthday as December 18th, 1878.
00:41:31.000 But 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.
00:41:43.000 Later on, they used the date December 21st, 1879, because December 21st, Was the winter solstice.
00:41:51.000 And in the Soviet Union, they wanted to portray Stalin as like a god, as larger than life.
00:41:57.000 So 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.
00:42:07.000 And I don't know why they made it a year later, but just a little fun fact for it.
00:42:11.000 I was a very big, I was an enthusiast for Joseph Stalin, just a very fascinating character.
00:42:18.000 But that's Twitter.
00:42:19.000 That's the free speech stuff.
00:42:20.000 We'll get into your questions now.
00:42:22.000 We came.
00:42:23.000 Very cleanly, right up against the 745 mark.
00:42:27.000 And now we will look at our super chats and our live chats and we'll see what we got going on here.
00:42:37.000 Let's see.
00:42:38.000 Carl Ritzenthaler, did you believe that the Iraq war was worth the cost?
00:42:43.000 Of course not.
00:42:44.000 Of course not.
00:42:45.000 Of course it wasn't.
00:42:47.000 You know, how much did the Iraq war cost?
00:42:50.000 Trillions of dollars.
00:42:51.000 I don't know the exact cost.
00:42:53.000 It's anywhere between two and eight trillion dollars, like depending on who you ask.
00:42:57.000 And not just the economic cost, but the opportunity cost.
00:43:01.000 People think of it in terms of dollars, like we spent $8 trillion in the Middle East, and that's really not a tangible thing.
00:43:08.000 Number one, because it's a very big amount, and number two, because it's cash.
00:43:12.000 You know, what would we have spent it on otherwise?
00:43:15.000 You have to think of it in terms of that $8 trillion or $2 trillion, you know, whatever the figure is.
00:43:22.000 That is how many college educations?
00:43:24.000 That's how many heart transplants?
00:43:26.000 That's how many bridges?
00:43:27.000 How many roads?
00:43:29.000 How many border guards?
00:43:30.000 How many border walls?
00:43:32.000 You know, I mean, think of what we could have done with that money.
00:43:35.000 Don't think of it in terms of, well, it's a lot of zeros and it's fiat money.
00:43:40.000 Think of it in terms of hard goods and services that we've been living in this dilapidated country for how long?
00:43:47.000 We've been so wealthy, the government's coffers have never been richer.
00:43:51.000 Seems like we're always at a loss, though, for more of it.
00:43:54.000 But the government's coffers have never been more full, and we have terrible infrastructure, we have terrible health care.
00:44:03.000 We can't enforce our own border.
00:44:05.000 We can't deter crime in this country.
00:44:07.000 We can't deter terrorism.
00:44:09.000 I mean, it just really makes you think that what could that $6 trillion have bought?
00:44:14.000 And then you got to think about all the lives that were spent.
00:44:17.000 How many people needlessly killed in the Middle East?
00:44:21.000 You know, how many people were sent over there thinking they were going to go to defend freedom and democracy and, you know, all that?
00:44:29.000 And they went over there because Saddam Hussein posed a military threat to the project of Israel's expansion, you know?
00:44:38.000 So that's what's really pathetic.
00:44:40.000 That's what's really tragic.
00:44:41.000 All these people who wanted war, and how many of their kids went off to fight?
00:44:44.000 How many of them went off to fight in the war, right?
00:44:48.000 So, no, it was not worth it by any stretch.
00:44:51.000 And it was better before we went in.
00:44:54.000 Say what you will about Saddam Hussein, he killed terrorists.
00:44:57.000 That's just true.
00:44:59.000 That's just true.
00:45:00.000 And we could have reined him in, and we could have reined Iran in far better with him in power than with him out of power.
00:45:09.000 I mean, think of what had to happen after Saddam Hussein was toppled.
00:45:13.000 We had to occupy that country for 10 years.
00:45:16.000 And if we didn't prematurely evacuate, we probably would have had to occupy that country for 20 years.
00:45:22.000 And how much bloodshed resulted with all the terrorism and the uprisings and everything else.
00:45:28.000 I mean, the war really started to go badly around 2005.
00:45:31.000 It wasn't until the troop surge in 2007 and 2008 that we got that situation under control.
00:45:36.000 It was a disaster.
00:45:39.000 And not only that, but.
00:45:40.000 We had to occupy it, and it was a terrible, bloody occupation and one that cost us.
00:45:46.000 And then, when we prematurely left, we got ISIS, and nobody won with that.
00:45:50.000 And now we're set back another eight years.
00:45:54.000 We're back where we were in 2008, trying to set up another government.
00:45:59.000 And now we have Iran.
00:46:00.000 Not 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.
00:46:15.000 There was no power that could oppose them.
00:46:18.000 So Saudi Arabia wasn't going to be able to do it.
00:46:21.000 Israel wasn't going to be able to do it because of the geography.
00:46:23.000 Turkey couldn't do it because of the geography.
00:46:25.000 So Iran now is going to be a problem.
00:46:28.000 Now Iran has influence in Syria and in Lebanon and in Yemen and in Qatar and in Bahrain.
00:46:34.000 They tried to spur an uprising.
00:46:36.000 And now they are becoming a regional hegemon and they're contrary to our interests.
00:46:40.000 They serve another client state or they're a client state of another country.
00:46:45.000 And so.
00:46:47.000 The cost, you know, just in fiscal terms, in terms of lives, foreign policy.
00:46:52.000 I mean, just what a blunder.
00:46:54.000 What an absolute disaster.
00:46:56.000 So, no, not worth it at all.
00:46:59.000 Not worth it at all.
00:47:00.000 Should have left him there.
00:47:01.000 And Saddam Hussein should have stayed.
00:47:03.000 Muammar Gaddafi should have stayed.
00:47:05.000 Bashar al Assad should stay.
00:47:07.000 Hosni Mubarak should have stayed.
00:47:09.000 They all should have stayed.
00:47:11.000 They brought stability.
00:47:12.000 And what I learned, and I took an African politics class and we studied this kind of stuff order is better than disorder.
00:47:21.000 This 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.
00:47:33.000 What does that mean?
00:47:34.000 Better that you have a government.
00:47:36.000 Better that you have police.
00:47:37.000 Better that you have an abuse of government authority than anarchy in the streets.
00:47:43.000 And 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.
00:47:53.000 It was a war where you would be killed for going to work, your daily life would be interrupted by conflict.
00:48:00.000 And he understood that that is the natural state.
00:48:03.000 Of human beings is conflict.
00:48:05.000 And 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.
00:48:23.000 And that was the context that he wrote that.
00:48:25.000 And 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.
00:48:36.000 Than like your living room exploding because either ISIS shot an RPG at you or there's a drone strike on you.
00:48:43.000 It's just better.
00:48:44.000 And people have a hard time wrapping their heads around that because they say that Saddam Hussein is bad.
00:48:50.000 But the question is not what's bad, the question is what's worse.
00:48:54.000 That's the takeaway.
00:48:55.000 People see Saddam Hussein and they see the terrible things and they say, that's terrible.
00:49:00.000 But there's no, there is absolutely no guarantee that you can create something better.
00:49:06.000 There's absolutely no guarantee that you'll do anything but make it a lot worse.
00:49:12.000 And I don't know how many times we have to go in and make it worse before we learn that lesson.
00:49:18.000 We went in Iraq and we made it worse.
00:49:20.000 We went into Somalia and we made it worse.
00:49:22.000 Libya, Egypt, Yemen.
00:49:25.000 I mean, do you think Yemen would be better off with a civil war or with a humanitarian crisis where there's no food in the country?
00:49:32.000 You think they'd be better off with a small insurrection or with a king who is controlled by the Saudi royal family?
00:49:39.000 I mean, you tell me.
00:49:40.000 So.
00:49:41.000 No, Iraq war was not worth the cost.
00:49:44.000 We have to learn.
00:49:46.000 Tyler Jarjura says you got to stop pulling all nighters, homie.
00:49:49.000 I didn't pull an all nighter last night.
00:49:51.000 I said I stayed up all night, but really, I went to bed at 6 o'clock p.m. and I woke up at about 2.
00:49:58.000 And I know that's not a great sleep schedule, but sometimes it happens like that.
00:50:03.000 And so I've only been up for, what is that, 16 hours?
00:50:08.000 But I'm young.
00:50:09.000 I do it while I'm young.
00:50:11.000 I'll have time to sleep, you know.
00:50:16.000 In a good schedule when I'm an old man.
00:50:19.000 Right from wrong says Twitter bans some anti white fags been reporting.
00:50:24.000 Well, good to hear.
00:50:25.000 Good to hear.
00:50:26.000 Got to stop these anti white people.
00:50:28.000 And you know, here's the other good part about the Twitter purge these are the absolute lowest people in the human food chain.
00:50:38.000 These people are worse than like.
00:50:41.000 Remember that guy who was on Dr. Phil who paid people.
00:50:46.000 Paid homeless people to fight each other and do weird stuff.
00:50:49.000 These people are lower than them.
00:50:51.000 I'm talking about Jared Holt.
00:50:53.000 I'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.
00:51:12.000 This is the Joe Bernstein class.
00:51:14.000 The Joe Bernstein class of human beings is the lowest subspecies of human being.
00:51:21.000 It's subhuman.
00:51:22.000 These people are like rats.
00:51:24.000 These people are.
00:51:25.000 Sewer dwellers.
00:51:27.000 They are bottom feeders.
00:51:29.000 These 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.
00:51:45.000 Jared Holt, for a living, is a gossiper.
00:51:48.000 He gossips about right wing Twitter and gossips maliciously.
00:51:53.000 It's not even like e news where it's harmless and it's benign.
00:51:56.000 Well, maybe, you know, it's arguably very spiritually malicious, but.
00:52:02.000 E news, they talk about, you know, oh, who's Brad Pitt going out with?
00:52:07.000 Who's whatever going out with?
00:52:10.000 But this little weasel, this little rat, Jared Holt, I mean, he sits online and this is his job.
00:52:16.000 He 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.
00:52:28.000 James Alsop is at it again.
00:52:30.000 Nick Fuentes is at it again.
00:52:33.000 And these people, you know, They got to go.
00:52:36.000 These people are going to be deported first.
00:52:38.000 If I ever get in power, these people are getting locked up.
00:52:41.000 First Amendment, freedom of the press.
00:52:44.000 We'll see about that, right?
00:52:47.000 Not Malmortis says, I love you, Nick.
00:52:50.000 No homo.
00:52:50.000 Love you too.
00:52:51.000 Love you too, my buddy.
00:52:53.000 Gary Oak with the single shekel.
00:52:55.000 Party time says, Jared Taylor sings and plays a sax and Hawaiian shirt and some music video.
00:53:01.000 Peak whiteness.
00:53:02.000 That sounds like peak whiteness.
00:53:04.000 Aztrel says, thoughts on the optics.
00:53:07.000 Of Neilan's tweets as of recent.
00:53:09.000 He's gone full fledged shit lord.
00:53:11.000 Yeah, I don't know what's going on with Paul Neilan.
00:53:14.000 What's going on, big guy?
00:53:16.000 It's certainly a bold strategy.
00:53:18.000 I mean, we'll see.
00:53:19.000 We'll see if that's going to work for him.
00:53:22.000 I think it's funny.
00:53:23.000 I think it's fun.
00:53:24.000 But the question is, will that be an effective strategy for running a campaign?
00:53:30.000 The problem is, the Fast of the Nation goes over really well on Twitter, doesn't go over so well with the voters, you know?
00:53:38.000 And it It pains me to see the pandering, and I don't know if that'll have a terrible effect.
00:53:43.000 I've never seen anything like that.
00:53:44.000 So, I mean, we'll see what happens.
00:53:46.000 But here's the problem with the alt right there's this tractor beam.
00:53:53.000 There's like a black hole at the center of it, of like unironic national socialists.
00:53:59.000 And 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.
00:54:09.000 They want to say the edgiest things, the edgiest memes.
00:54:13.000 Take the most extreme positions so they can get approval from these people.
00:54:17.000 They can be seen as cool.
00:54:18.000 They can be seen as cutting edge from this group of people.
00:54:22.000 And if you don't appease them, you know, you're in trouble.
00:54:26.000 They'll call you Jewish.
00:54:27.000 They'll call you a cuck.
00:54:28.000 They'll call you a shill, a fed, vicious nags.
00:54:32.000 I mean, nobody is worse than these people when you upset them.
00:54:36.000 And so there is this gravity that people want to appease.
00:54:39.000 They see that as like ideologically pure, they think there's an integrity to this.
00:54:44.000 Unfortunately, That group of people that is dictating the course of this movement, they don't vote.
00:54:51.000 They don't donate to campaigns.
00:54:52.000 They don't volunteer for campaigns.
00:54:55.000 They don't write.
00:54:56.000 They don't contribute.
00:54:58.000 That's the snark.
00:55:00.000 They lurk.
00:55:00.000 They comment.
00:55:01.000 They go on 4chan and they post things and they try and get a rise out of people.
00:55:05.000 They post things on Twitter and they try and get a rise out of people.
00:55:09.000 And for politicians, for people with political aspirations in particular, this is deadly.
00:55:15.000 Who are the voters?
00:55:16.000 Who are the people that are going to help you?
00:55:18.000 Those are the people you appeal to.
00:55:20.000 So it's very tempting for people to.
00:55:23.000 To want to appeal to the most extreme, they can get their, you know, look at me.
00:55:28.000 I'm approved of by the club card.
00:55:31.000 But those are not going to be the people that are going to get you elected.
00:55:34.000 So I don't know.
00:55:35.000 I mean, we'll see.
00:55:36.000 I respect Nealon a lot.
00:55:38.000 I think he's a really solid guy.
00:55:39.000 I think he's a smart guy.
00:55:40.000 And I don't know if it turns out that this is like a viral social media strategy, it could very well work.
00:55:46.000 I don't know.
00:55:47.000 We've never seen anything like this.
00:55:50.000 And I'm not just saying that.
00:55:53.000 I certainly would err on a side of caution when it comes to the memes, but certainly there is a strategy there.
00:56:02.000 If Donald Trump took off with what he said, many people said the same thing about Donald Trump.
00:56:07.000 He's got a good chance, but if he would only reel himself in on Twitter or whatever, so I don't know.
00:56:12.000 I would say the TRS is bad optics.
00:56:16.000 I mean, these people, they don't care about optics, and that's okay.
00:56:20.000 I mean, they're not running for office, so they don't have to.
00:56:23.000 They're not accountable for.
00:56:25.000 An electoral reform or an institutional reform.
00:56:28.000 They're an entertainment podcast for people that already know what's going on.
00:56:33.000 And so they're not concerned.
00:56:35.000 They'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.
00:56:46.000 And so that's wholly different.
00:56:48.000 But when you're running for office and you're trying to get elected and you attach yourself to that, to people that have no.
00:56:55.000 Reason to filter themselves.
00:56:57.000 It's just a bad idea.
00:56:58.000 And people might say, Nick, you don't understand TRS.
00:57:01.000 Nick, I'm not saying they can't do that.
00:57:03.000 I'm not saying there's not a place for that, but you have to know what you're trying to do.
00:57:09.000 You have to have a proof of purpose, I guess, a sense of purpose.
00:57:14.000 You know, they're trying to entertain, but you're trying to win an election.
00:57:17.000 I don't know.
00:57:18.000 Maybe he's going for shock.
00:57:19.000 Maybe he's trying to get publicity.
00:57:21.000 And we'll see.
00:57:22.000 We'll see if it works.
00:57:24.000 And it looks like we're all out of super chats.
00:57:26.000 Pretty disappointing, folks.
00:57:27.000 It's all going to charity.
00:57:28.000 Remember, Christian.
00:57:30.000 Appalachian Project.
00:57:32.000 It's all going to the little boys and girls of Eastern Kentucky, of West Virginia, Southern Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, even.
00:57:44.000 You know, all these great states.
00:57:45.000 And people all day long say, Nikki, when are you going to do charity?
00:57:49.000 Nikki, you got to do charity.
00:57:50.000 Nick, when are you going to help the white race?
00:57:52.000 Nick, when are you going to do this?
00:57:54.000 And then we do the charity, and then we see the donations dry up.
00:57:57.000 And it's just very curious.
00:57:58.000 But we'll see.
00:57:59.000 Do we have any.
00:58:00.000 If I shame you into it, will we see any more super chats or will we have to revert to the live chat and see what the people are saying?
00:58:11.000 Let's see.
00:58:13.000 Carl Ritzenthaler, do you like Red Ice?
00:58:17.000 I like their content, but I think it's bad optics.
00:58:20.000 Again, optical is very important.
00:58:23.000 And you tell me.
00:58:24.000 You think I'm being an optics cuck.
00:58:28.000 They have a program which was run by Patrick Casey, which was called Operation Reinhardt.
00:58:34.000 For the uninformed, for the unredpilled, Operation Reinhardt was a Nazi massacre in Poland.
00:58:40.000 Now, if you're trying to be a legitimate media company like Breitbart, like Fox News, you want to be taken seriously.
00:58:48.000 You want legitimacy and credibility so people will read you, watch your content, and take it seriously.
00:58:54.000 Do you think it's a good idea to name one of your programs after a Nazi massacre?
00:59:00.000 Is that a loaded question?
00:59:02.000 Is that a trick question?
00:59:03.000 I don't think it is.
00:59:05.000 So I watch their content, and it's good content.
00:59:07.000 A lot of it's funny, a lot of it's fresh, it's informative.
00:59:10.000 The 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.
00:59:19.000 It's a missed opportunity.
00:59:20.000 You know, people are going to do what they're going to do.
00:59:22.000 People tell me, well, you can't criticize because you're not out there doing it, but it's just wasteful.
00:59:29.000 It's just a missed opportunity.
00:59:31.000 You know, you could criticize Apple, for example, and say the Apple iPhone X isn't really innovative.
00:59:37.000 It's not really that new.
00:59:38.000 And people might say, oh, well, you go and design a phone if you think it's so easy.
00:59:42.000 Well, I don't have to design a phone to say that they could have done a better job.
00:59:46.000 If they're going to spend all their resources, if they're going to, if they want to make money, they should have done it another way.
00:59:52.000 Jeff Sheldon says the problem is.
00:59:54.000 With Paul Nealon, he's running in a cucky, moderate district.
01:00:00.000 I love the guy, but that's how I see it.
01:00:01.000 Trump didn't win this district.
01:00:03.000 Yeah, that's true.
01:00:04.000 It's like Janesville, it's southern Wisconsin.
01:00:10.000 It's right on the border of Illinois.
01:00:11.000 And you're right, it's pretty purple in terms of their politics.
01:00:17.000 Very moderate.
01:00:18.000 I remember campaigning there, and a lot of people are not thrilled even then with Nealon.
01:00:23.000 And a lot of that, I think, was because Paul Ryan is so well liked in that district.
01:00:27.000 They've been electing him for 20 years.
01:00:29.000 But, yeah, that is the problem with that strategy, is maybe that would have worked.
01:00:34.000 I don't know where that would have worked.
01:00:36.000 But it wouldn't have worked where he's trying to make it work.
01:00:40.000 I mean, maybe that would work in, I don't know, Alabama or Wyoming.
01:00:45.000 I 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.
01:00:56.000 So I don't know.
01:00:58.000 I hope his campaign manager knows what they're doing.
01:01:02.000 That's all I hope.
01:01:03.000 I don't.
01:01:04.000 Because I'm not in the war room.
01:01:05.000 I don't know what the game plan is.
01:01:06.000 I just only hope there's a plan to it.
01:01:09.000 You can take a risky strategy.
01:01:11.000 You can make a risky plan, but there's just got to be a plan.
01:01:16.000 You can't have the reckless stuff.
01:01:18.000 You can't afford to not be thinking about what you're saying and doing on the campaign trail.
01:01:24.000 That's rookie stuff, but we'll see.
01:01:26.000 Woke Tree dropping the $25 donation for the Christians.
01:01:31.000 Well, we appreciate it.
01:01:32.000 Thank you.
01:01:34.000 The children, thank you.
01:01:35.000 Eric Negri says the reverse psychology is strong with this one.
01:01:40.000 What reverse psychology?
01:01:44.000 I don't know what you're talking about.
01:01:51.000 Guys, please address Duterte so Nick picks it up.
01:01:54.000 Yeah, that was kind of out of left field.
01:01:56.000 I didn't see that coming.
01:02:00.000 The president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, said today that he was in support of gay marriage, which came as a surprise because.
01:02:08.000 He said a lot of anti gay things.
01:02:10.000 He's a very traditionalist, or at least I thought he was.
01:02:13.000 Leader.
01:02:14.000 Philippines is a very Catholic country.
01:02:16.000 So I don't know.
01:02:17.000 I mean, I haven't been very well read on Duterte.
01:02:21.000 I know he's a meme.
01:02:23.000 But 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.
01:02:33.000 Not really a lot of substance there.
01:02:35.000 So that's unfortunate.
01:02:37.000 Pretty sad day that Duterte went gay.
01:02:41.000 And we got Sadinsky Lawson.
01:02:44.000 Oh, what is this guy doing here?
01:02:47.000 This guy, I chewed him and his wife out on Discord, and now he's back.
01:02:52.000 Red Ice has done a lot of good.
01:02:54.000 Nobody's saying that's not true.
01:02:56.000 You know, I love you.
01:02:57.000 You criticize somebody on one facet, you say, here's where you can improve.
01:03:01.000 And it's constructive criticism.
01:03:02.000 I didn't say Red Ice was bad or dumb.
01:03:07.000 I said Red Ice has bad optics.
01:03:11.000 They could improve their optics.
01:03:12.000 That is a fair, constructive criticism that the people who are running it could hear that and say, either, well, we're trying to do this.
01:03:21.000 Or that's a good idea.
01:03:23.000 But nobody said broadly, Red Ice is bad, they don't do any good.
01:03:28.000 I 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.
01:03:50.000 We're supposed to take on.
01:03:52.000 The United Nations, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, the media.
01:03:55.000 And these are the most fragile, sensitive people on the internet where you can't give any criticism.
01:04:04.000 You criticize Tara McCarthy, and it's, but she does so much more good than she does harm.
01:04:12.000 It's like, okay, but we're not.
01:04:15.000 In what sphere of life, in what sector of life are you evaluating people on net like that?
01:04:20.000 Well, did they do more good or more harm?
01:04:21.000 No, it's just.
01:04:22.000 You got to do this or you're not in the game.
01:04:27.000 And what else?
01:04:28.000 What else do we have?
01:04:29.000 I see we have another super chat here.
01:04:32.000 How much can we raise for Christian Appalachian Project?
01:04:36.000 Who can beat mine?
01:04:37.000 Well, thank you, Eric Bjornsson.
01:04:40.000 Bjornsson.
01:04:43.000 The Swedish name, Scandinavian name.
01:04:46.000 Right from wrong says shame into donation.
01:04:49.000 In before, Bannon is a shill.
01:04:52.000 Pretty tough stuff there.
01:04:54.000 Bannon is not a shill.
01:04:56.000 But yeah, we got to get the shekels flowing for charity.
01:04:59.000 I know it's going to be a slow week this week because it's the holidays.
01:05:03.000 And I would, in a way, I would be disappointed if people were watching as much as they were because people should be with their families.
01:05:12.000 So, you know, admittedly, this week is going to be a slower week, but we got to get the donations up.
01:05:17.000 We want to deliver a great Christmas for the Christians in Appalachia.
01:05:23.000 The Holly Hoax enthusiast says there is a reason that the Daily Stormer is the largest.
01:05:28.000 Alt right website, Nick.
01:05:29.000 Why don't you read what the Daily Stormer has to say about me and my brand, my friend?
01:05:34.000 And then why don't you get back to me?
01:05:37.000 Catholicism borrowed everything from paganism, says Victor von Klaus.
01:05:41.000 That is incorrect, and paganism is retarded and for faggots.
01:05:45.000 See, that is the one thing.
01:05:47.000 You know, I'll give constructive criticism to people that are intelligent, like the people at Red Ice.
01:05:53.000 And, well, there's one person at Red Ice who is not intelligent, and people know who that is.
01:05:58.000 And I'll give constructive criticism to Identity Europa and Richard Spencer.
01:06:02.000 The one group that I will never give constructive criticism to is the pagans because it is just a stupid premise on the face.
01:06:10.000 And if you think that's legitimate, if you think that has any legitimacy, I'm sorry, but you're just not thinking clearly.
01:06:20.000 You're just not being sensible.
01:06:23.000 I 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.
01:06:37.000 To Americans in 2017.
01:06:39.000 That sounds like a current year argument, but these are people separated from that tradition, from that cult, by 2,000 years.
01:06:48.000 You could just as easily tell people that we should be lining up to the Coliseums to go see people fight lions.
01:06:56.000 I mean, it's that far removed.
01:06:58.000 And people think, I don't know what they're thinking, that that would come back.
01:07:01.000 Do you think you could tell any sensible working class person that they should adopt paganism?
01:07:08.000 Give me a break.
01:07:08.000 And on top of that, people don't even believe in it.
01:07:11.000 It's LARPy because people don't.
01:07:13.000 When they talk about paganism, they don't believe that Jupiter exists.
01:07:16.000 They do not believe that Zeus exists.
01:07:19.000 They do not believe that their Viking Nordic magic exists.
01:07:24.000 They want to take part in it because they don't have an identity.
01:07:29.000 Okay, construct an identity, but based on something that's relevant, something that you believe in.
01:07:36.000 You 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.
01:07:43.000 They believe in the free market.
01:07:46.000 You know, maybe it's a spook.
01:07:47.000 Maybe it's mythological.
01:07:49.000 Maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be.
01:07:51.000 But they believe that the free market is the answer.
01:07:54.000 They believe it's the divine economy.
01:07:56.000 They believe it's spontaneous orders, the hand of God, the invisible hand of Adam Smith, you know, making the economy better.
01:08:04.000 They think it's real.
01:08:05.000 Pagans do not think it's real.
01:08:08.000 Pagans are like the equivalent of those people on that show from the 2000s where people are obsessed with booberries or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
01:08:20.000 And it's silly.
01:08:21.000 Tim Gar says, Great show, Nick.
01:08:23.000 Thank you.
01:08:29.000 Pagans are heck of cool.
01:08:31.000 Yeah, maybe for a goober.
01:08:32.000 Maybe for a total goober.
01:08:37.000 Jordi Tobinson says, Opinions on the Austrian election.
01:08:40.000 I haven't been following that too closely.
01:08:42.000 They just got a very far right government installed.
01:08:46.000 So that's a good thing.
01:08:47.000 I read an article the other day.
01:08:49.000 I forget who authored it, but somebody predicted that.
01:08:53.000 By 2021, and tell me if you know what I'm talking about.
01:08:57.000 It was somebody prominent who predicted that by 2021, all the governments of Central and Eastern Europe would be populist and far right.
01:09:06.000 And that's an interesting prediction.
01:09:08.000 Woke Tree, have any opinion on the Jesuits?
01:09:11.000 Not particularly.
01:09:13.000 No.
01:09:15.000 Not particularly.
01:09:18.000 Yeah, pagans nagged.
01:09:19.000 Pretty brutal neg for the pagans.
01:09:21.000 I got to be honest, I don't know that much about Jesuits.
01:09:23.000 I'm not, you know, I didn't go to a Jesuit school.
01:09:25.000 Or anything like that, either in high school or in college.
01:09:28.000 So I'm not too familiar, but.
01:09:31.000 Crashed Pelican, I think modern art institutions must be dominated by animists due to the drop in quality.
01:09:38.000 That's probably true because, you know, art is a very difficult thing if it's practiced correctly.
01:09:45.000 The 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.
01:09:55.000 Anybody can draw, anybody can draw a stick figure.
01:09:58.000 Everybody with like a 30 day class could sketch something reasonably well.
01:10:03.000 But the craft of art is in the perfecting it, getting the 10,000 hours into master art.
01:10:10.000 You 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.
01:10:20.000 I mean, you just won't have that kind of talent when they're trying to churn people out of art schools, of course.
01:10:26.000 That's why it's animists or it's just garbage if it's anything else.
01:10:31.000 So.
01:10:33.000 Carl Ritzenthaler, do you think the Warsaw Pact will come back?
01:10:37.000 Well, it's already in place.
01:10:39.000 You have the CIS, which is not the Confederacy of Independent Systems from Star Wars.
01:10:46.000 It's not that.
01:10:48.000 It's the.
01:10:49.000 What is the CIS?
01:10:51.000 The Russians essentially have this new banking network, this economic pact with the Eastern European countries and the Central Asian countries.
01:11:01.000 That took the place of the Warsaw Pact.
01:11:03.000 People don't know about that.
01:11:06.000 I believe it's the CIS.
01:11:07.000 I might be wrong.
01:11:08.000 I know it starts with a C.
01:11:10.000 But they do essentially have that.
01:11:12.000 They have a pretty strong, like, there's the European Union and then Russia has a sphere of influence economically with those countries.
01:11:22.000 Commonwealth of Independent States?
01:11:24.000 Is that it?
01:11:24.000 Perhaps.
01:11:27.000 Christianity comes from paganism.
01:11:30.000 No, Christianity comes from Christ.
01:11:33.000 Christianity comes from the Old Testament.
01:11:36.000 Christianity does not come from paganism.
01:11:40.000 Does anybody need to say that?
01:11:41.000 I don't understand.
01:11:42.000 On the one hand, pagans say Christianity is.
01:11:44.000 Jewish, and then now they're saying it came from pagan.
01:11:47.000 Which is it, pagans?
01:11:49.000 You're having a hard time tonight.
01:11:53.000 Nick, are the 1960s pretty much the decade that got us in the mess we are in the West today?
01:11:58.000 Well, the 1960s were precipitated by a lot of bad decades before that.
01:12:02.000 I mean, the 1960s is when all of that actualized, all of the bad intellectual trends of the 1900s and 1910s, 1920s and 30s.
01:12:13.000 That's when that all came to fruition.
01:12:15.000 That's when.
01:12:18.000 Those people started to accede to institutional power.
01:12:22.000 So I wouldn't say the 1960s was the start.
01:12:24.000 I think that was the beginning of the end, in a way.
01:12:27.000 Mike Healy, and this is the last one I'll take, and then we're calling it an evening.
01:12:30.000 We went 15 minutes over, and I'm a tired boy, okay?
01:12:34.000 I gotta go have some pork after this.
01:12:37.000 Mike Healy says the alt right needs to read more Chesterton and C.S. Lewis to truly understand Christianity's significance in Western countries.
01:12:45.000 Couldn't agree more.
01:12:47.000 Could not agree more.
01:12:48.000 The alt right needs a healthy dose of Chesterton.
01:12:52.000 Lewis, Aquinas, Augustine, and just the Bible.
01:12:57.000 But they have to read.
01:12:59.000 And it's because, here's the problem.
01:13:01.000 On 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.
01:13:10.000 You won't see any Christian authors.
01:13:11.000 And you want to know why?
01:13:13.000 A lot of the people in the alt right who are hostile to Christianity are hostile for very personal reasons.
01:13:21.000 The people who are against Christianity in this movement are.
01:13:24.000 Are hostile to it because they personally are in rebellion against God.
01:13:29.000 That's why they can't wrap their heads around it.
01:13:30.000 That's why they can't see it clearly.
01:13:33.000 Smart people, they make mistakes because of character flaws.
01:13:38.000 And so look at the people who oppose Christianity.
01:13:41.000 Look at the people who not only oppose Christianity, but are outright hostile to Christianity in this movement.
01:13:47.000 And look at their lifestyle.
01:13:48.000 And 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?
01:13:57.000 But.
01:13:58.000 That's the final.
01:13:59.000 That is the hammer coming down.
01:14:03.000 That's going to do it for us tonight on America First.
01:14:06.000 Fun show, high energy show, lots of history, lots of things to discuss, and a fun show.
01:14:14.000 But remember, all of our super chats go to the Christian Appalachian Project through the month of December.
01:14:21.000 So if you don't have any shekels this week, I know it's a busy week.
01:14:25.000 You've got to dump all kinds of money on presents and travel and everything else.
01:14:30.000 Will be collecting donations for that charity throughout the month of December.
01:14:34.000 If you want to come back before New Year's or whatever and drop us a couple of shekels, remember, it's for a good cause.
01:14:40.000 It's for the kiddies.
01:14:41.000 And you can get your America First Media mugs at amfirstmedia.com.
01:14:46.000 We got a massive shipment coming in.
01:14:48.000 I think it's December 28th.
01:14:50.000 The new shipment comes in to Washington, where James will be shipping those out of his sweatshop.
01:14:58.000 And so these big 16 ounce mugs, amfirstmedia.com, we got about 140 of them coming in, I believe.
01:15:05.000 So, you can buy those up.
01:15:06.000 They're back on the website, available for purchase.
01:15:08.000 High quality, big gulps for the big fellas.
