00:00:54.000Probably should have done that before the show.
00:00:56.000But I got in a little debate with him on the Kumite yesterday about the caravan.
00:01:01.000We started out debating about if Trump was a Democrat or not.
00:01:05.000And I don't know, somehow it devolved into talk about the caravan.
00:01:09.000And I think people are under the impression that we dropped the ball on the caravan, that we let all those people in, and it's this big disaster.
00:01:15.000And I want to set the record straight on that because I don't think people have really been following it very closely.
00:01:20.000I want to talk maybe a little bit about the White House correspondence dinner.
00:01:25.000And then if we have time, we'll get into some Kanye West.
00:01:28.000Kanye is like, you know, we don't want to talk about him too much.
00:01:39.000If we have time, if we have time at the end, we'll spend a couple of minutes because he's been saying some new things and he's still out there.
00:01:46.000So, but for starters, I saw the big movie today in IMAX.
00:01:50.000I saw the Avengers Infinity War today at the theater.
00:01:55.000And, you know, I go to these movies not because I really particularly care for superhero movies.
00:09:37.000You know, if you're going to commit to this ambitious movie with a serious plot and there's high stakes and there's suspension of disbelief, you have to invest in it.
00:09:51.000If the villain is going to kill half of the life on Earth, let's treat it with some gravity.
00:09:57.000If, you know, these are serious characters with serious motivations, let's give them their due instead of just, I don't know, it really takes me out of the moment.
00:11:12.000You could have that homage to the old, you know.
00:11:15.000Kind of comic book style humor, but when it's just incessant every minute, every two minutes, the joke to minute ratio is so out of control, something has to be done about it.
00:11:52.000But I will say, one of the big positives with this movie is that it was not political.
00:11:58.000This is the first big blockbuster in a long time that I've seen that doesn't have an over the top, explicit political message.
00:12:08.000You know, Spider Man wasn't really political, but you had this interracial stuff, which was just distracting.
00:12:14.000You had all this diversity in there where the kid's in high school and it looks like he's in the United Nations building with all the different people.
00:12:22.000And Star Wars, where the main character's got to be.
00:12:25.000A woman and a black guy and a gay guy, and the villain's the white man.
00:12:30.000With this one, it was, I think, totally not political.
00:12:34.000They didn't have a problem with the fact that it was strong men battling it out.
00:12:38.000Obviously, the main guys, it's like Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange was big in this one.
00:14:02.000It was, you know, I'm not going to say I was affected by it, but even for somebody like me, you're a little bit older, more cynical, whatever, you can kind of have an out of body look at it, or I don't know, you can kind of disassociate yourself from what's happening on the screen.
00:14:19.000But for little kids that are invested in it, I don't know, it's a little bit tough for them.
00:16:06.000Something like 80% of them were from Honduras.
00:16:09.000And about a month ago, they were traveling up, they were marching up to Mexico, and it was initially reported that they were coming to the United States.
00:16:19.000Apparently, The organization that sponsored the caravan, which is, you know, people marching together as opposed to just different families trying to get into the United States.
00:16:29.000Apparently, the group organizing this caravan, they do this every year.
00:16:34.000And the caravan goes through Central America, through Mexico to Mexico City.
00:16:39.000And when they get to Mexico City, they do demonstrations.
00:16:42.000So people had said, oh, you know, they're coming to the United States to jump over the fence and to come over here.
00:16:48.000And it turned out that actually they were going to Mexico City for a few days of demonstrations in early April.
00:16:53.000And then going back to raise awareness for refugees and I don't know, raise awareness for migration.
00:16:59.000So there were, however, some that broke off and they ended up at the U.S. border.
00:17:04.000There's now currently about 150 of these people from the caravan sitting at the border around Tijuana, a border town in Texas.
00:17:15.000And there were reports, I guess, earlier this week, kind of confusing, where the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen and President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
00:17:26.000They all said the caravan was stopped.
00:18:43.000The 26 people that were permitted into the country, 26 out of 140, were permitted into the country to get their asylum applications processed, which, under international law, as well as under American law, started out as a United Nations law.
00:19:01.000It was implemented into American law in 1980.
00:19:05.000Under American law, Asylum applicants have to be processed.
00:19:11.000They don't have to be permitted, but they have to be processed.
00:19:15.000So, 140 people are outside the border and they're waiting to get inside to have their applications processed.
00:19:22.000Customs and Border said, nope, stay out.
00:19:33.000The law says that while the applications are being processed for asylum seekers, which is different than immigrants, The asylum seekers are moved to a temporary holding facility and then to a detention facility.
00:19:47.000So, the 26 people that got into the country got it all of them 140, which is 10% of the original caravan.
00:19:54.000People make it out like the caravan got in and they're running loose in the country.
00:19:58.000Out of 1,300, 140 made it to the border.
00:20:04.000And over the past three days, 26 have gotten through and they're currently sitting in detention facilities under the jurisdiction of ICE and Customs and Border Protection.
00:20:15.000So, not exactly, you know, people make it out like, Oh, they got in and they're running wild and they're raping everyone.
00:20:21.000No, there's 10% made it to the border.
00:20:49.000We have to get them out, but there's a legal loophole.
00:20:52.000Because of the refugee law in the country, because of asylum law in the country, we are legally required to process, at the very least, the requests.
00:21:54.000Article 2 of the Constitution details the powers of the executive branch, the president, which is to enforce the laws that Congress writes.
00:22:03.000Article 3 of the Constitution pertains to the courts, the federal judiciary, which says that the courts interpret the laws that Congress writes.
00:22:11.000And so once you understand that and you understand how the supreme law functions in the country, if the Refugee Act in 1980 says we have to process asylum requests, These people show up at the border and they say, Please give us asylum.
00:22:26.000We're making these asylum applications.
00:22:29.000Trump cannot, he legally cannot turn these people away.
00:22:34.000And you might say, Well, break the law anyway.
00:23:29.000We see that it's much more vigorously focused on or much more vigorously followed or has to be followed under this president than under previous presidents.
00:24:51.000But Really, it boils down to this mentality that people want to ascribe all the problems, all responsibility to one guy, because then we can take responsibility off of us and put it onto him.
00:25:08.000Something doesn't go the way we want it to go.
00:25:32.000And, you know, in three years, I'll do something about it.
00:25:35.000I'll drive two minutes and I'll fill out a different name.
00:25:38.000That's so easy to say, I don't like it, and that's what I'll do.
00:25:42.000Much more difficult to say, hmm, well, what's actually happening?
00:25:46.000Well, okay, so 1,300, you know, they came to Mexico City, they went home, 130 made it their way, but they're outside the border, and 26 came in.
00:27:12.000There's all kinds of reports coming out that actually illegal immigrants are self deporting in record numbers.
00:27:19.000They can't really find numbers on this because they're undocumented.
00:27:23.000They're here illegally, so it's not like we can really keep track of them.
00:27:26.000But you've heard many reports from all kinds of mainstream media outlets, from many professors and intellectuals, that Illegals are self deporting because they fear ICE, because ICE has been deporting people so vigorously.
00:27:50.000And now it's anybody who could get deported people that break the law, people that abuse welfare, all kinds of people can get deported under Trump.
00:27:59.000So ICE is arresting people more vigorously.
00:28:16.000You look at for Syrian refugees, it was something like 3,000 accepted in 2016, 11 accepted so far in 2018.
00:28:25.000So all the numbers are looking really good, but people like to pinpoint one thing, blow it way out of proportion, ascribe responsibility to the wrong institution, and then they get the dopamine rush on Twitter.
00:28:37.000But that's what we expect from sub 250 IQ individuals.
00:28:41.000We're not going to do it on this show.
00:28:43.000On this show, we're going to get you with the hot takes.
00:28:48.000And look, I'll always extend the olive branch to people and say this much.
00:28:54.000For people that say, well, if Trump did this, Nick would, excuse it, if Trump did this, Nick would be on board.
00:29:02.000If 1,300 people jumped the fence and they weren't apprehended, if they crossed the border illegally and they just made into the country, I would say Trump has failed.
00:29:40.000And then in terms of excusing it, people say, oh, well, when Trump does do something that's a little bit wrong, Nick just excuses it anyway.
00:29:48.000No, you have to look at where Trump has responsibility, where Trump has authority.
00:29:55.000You can't blame somebody who has no authority.
00:29:56.000You know, if you go into a McDonald's and your burger, I don't know, maybe your burger, there's something wrong with it, it's undercooked.
00:30:03.000You don't go to the guy mopping up the floors and say, hey, what the hell's wrong with this?
00:30:11.000I was promised a good burger, and you cleaning the toilets, you messed, you know, you wouldn't do that because it's not his responsibility.
00:30:22.000A corporation doesn't have separation of powers.
00:30:24.000It's a little bit, a corporate entity is a little bit different.
00:30:27.000So maybe not the best example, but you understand the premise.
00:30:31.000If you understand how constitutional law in the country works, if you understand the stated jurisdiction of the three branches, you know that, you know, does Trump bear some responsibility?
00:30:42.000Yes, because he could always more vigorously attempt to negotiate out something in Congress, but we also know the constraints there.
00:30:53.000The other big development that we saw over the weekend, which I didn't get a chance to talk about, was the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
00:31:01.000Excuse me, that was on Saturday evening.
00:31:05.000Second one under the Trump administration.
00:31:29.000This time it was a woman comedian named Michelle Wolf, another Daily Show alumnus.
00:31:36.000And Trump, just like last year, he did a campaign rally.
00:31:39.000I think last year was in Pennsylvania.
00:31:41.000This year he did it in Michigan, in Washington, Michigan, which was kind of a fun play on words.
00:31:46.000Instead of being in Washington, D.C., for the White House correspondence dinner, he's in Washington, Michigan with the people.
00:31:53.000The rally was pretty unremarkable, I have to say.
00:31:56.000You know, I was a little disappointed that I missed it because I was at American Renaissance, but then I watched it and I was like, you know, this is.
00:32:05.000But the White House correspondence dinner, this comedian, Michelle Wolf, she took a lot of flack because it was her speech or her comedy bits were inappropriate.
00:33:10.000You say women are emotional, and then you have to immediately say, Oh, no, no, but they're good at other things, right?
00:33:17.000In order to explain the differences between men and women, you have to, of course, always backtrack and say, Oh, no, no, but they're good at other things, which I think is a testament to the fact that they're different.
00:33:30.000And one of the skills that women do not possess, really, in most of the time, is being funny.
00:33:35.000And so they bring her on, and it's the usual routine for women.
00:33:38.000This is what women comedians do, whether it's Amy Schumer.
00:33:41.000Or Lena Dunham, it's the gross out humor.
00:33:44.000It's just gratuitous vulgarity, scatological language.
00:33:49.000You know, she gets on, she's talking about pussy.
00:33:52.000You know, I'm sorry, that's just classless.
00:33:54.000You're at the White House Correspondence Dinner.
00:33:55.000You don't talk about pussy, you know, and the swearing, and it's about sex, and it's this gross out humor, and that's what women tend to do.
00:34:03.000And also, she adopts this very disgusting thought tone.
00:34:30.000And it was a classless display, a big win for President Trump in terms of the media because this vindicates everything that he says about them, which is that they are against Trump, that they are reflexively against Trump.
00:34:43.000Because normally the White House correspondence dinner, they make jokes at the president's expense, but it's never.
00:34:49.000It's never like it was with these jokes.
00:34:50.000And, you know, we bring the bands on this show.
00:34:55.000But at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, it's expected that, you know, it's these kind of chuckling jokes, it's corny kind of jokes.
00:35:03.000But she really went hard after him, calling him all kinds of names and about his appearance and at Sarah Huckabee Sanders and all the rest.
00:35:13.000If they all get together, the press in Washington, D.C., and an almost tacit support of a comedian that's really just being vicious and mean.
00:35:23.000And an occasion when it's supposed to be about unity and it's supposed to be about bipartisanship and all the rest and a healthy relationship between the press and the government.
00:35:31.000So, a big political win for the president.
00:35:34.000But I think the predominant takeaway is that women are not funny.
00:35:40.000I don't think it's charming when they do.
00:35:42.000Women try to be funny a lot and it never really works out for them.
00:35:46.000And she was up there and she bombed spectacularly, I think, in large measure for that reason.
00:35:51.000And the reason that women are not funny is because biologically they're not evolved to be funny.
00:35:56.000The reason that, and Christopher Hitchens talked about this a lot before he passed away, the reason that men are funny, that we can do and say things that make people laugh, is because evolutionarily, when we were competing for a scarce amount of women, or women were selecting mates for how we would pass on their genes, who would be able to pass on their genes and create offspring and be the next genetic pool, men would have to, one of the ways they would compete is that they would have to be funny.
00:36:26.000Maybe you're not the best hunter, maybe you're not the strongest or the toughest, but.
00:36:30.000This is another tool in the arsenal of men to compete for mates.
00:39:20.000If that happens, we're in a very bad spot because in Africa, they're growing by like five or six or seven per generation and not really working out very well for them.
00:39:31.000So if you don't want America to look like Africa, cut the shit, stop doing the comedy specials, find a husband, settle down, and make three or four or five or six or seven who knows, and raise them to be good.
00:39:46.000Raise them in church, raise them in school, homeschool, and make sure they're okay.
00:40:23.000He said that slavery was a choice for black people, which was pretty, I think, ballsy to say, and I kind of agree with it.
00:40:30.000And then he clarified on Twitter later today, just about a few minutes before the show, and said what he meant by that was that they were brought over here against their will, but because they were in chains for 400 years, and you got to think he's kind of got a point.
00:40:43.000Black people are brought over from Africa to the New World, they were sold by people in Africa to Europeans in the slave trade.
00:40:53.000They were brought over here on boats, and they were shipped over here to be worked as slaves.
00:40:58.000And they were here for 400 years, toiling and whatever.
00:41:02.000And Kanye's point was look, they were here for so long, they outnumbered white people in certain cases.
00:44:25.000And all of that, right up until I had to pay $15 for popcorn.
00:44:29.000Then I said, you know, maybe we got a problem.
00:44:32.000Nicker Nationalist says, you've given the case against foreign aid to Israel from a secular perspective.
00:44:38.000Thoughts on pro Israel Christians who interpret revelations in such a way that leads them to believe that Israel should be our greatest ally.
00:45:34.000So, that Israel evangelist type stuff is a symptom of the Schofield Bible and a lot of Zionist propaganda, but it's nowhere to be found in any kind of serious theological discussion.
00:45:48.000Cactus Bloss says all of the energy spent criticizing Trump over things he has no control over should be used for the midterm elections instead.
00:45:55.000We need to win and give him a Congress he can work with.
00:45:58.000Well, it's like, why is the standard like this for Trump?
00:47:12.000Just unite the right was a turning point for obvious reasons in the movement where I think there was a lot of energy going into it the previous year.
00:47:22.000You know, we had the Trump election, we were all very excited, the momentum was shifting, and unite the right really put us on the map for all the wrong reasons.
00:47:31.000Maybe it had to happen, which many people say, which I think is fair, but I think associating ourselves with really just rotten people I think was a big mistake.
00:47:41.000People want to pretend they don't exist, but they do.
00:47:44.000And they're a big liability for us, I have to say.
00:47:46.000You know, I was marching, and although I will say, probably 95% of the people at Charlottesville were good people like myself, who just wanted to see their culture preserved and their nation preserved and their family preserved and all that, there were some bad apples there.
00:48:03.000There was a guy who I saw who had like SS tattooed on his neck, and this guy was like a real beauty, you know, not somebody I would want to be associated with.
00:48:18.000Whether you think it's right that we're associated with them, whether you think we should acknowledge them or not, whether the left acknowledges they're radicals or not, that's the reality.
00:48:26.000You bring up totally legitimate concerns about mass immigration, and the media lumps you in with the worst, ugliest caricature of that kind of opinion.
00:48:36.000And it does us no good when we stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
00:48:39.000People who literally, in the National Socialist Movement, who is at Charlottesville, are burning swastikas.
00:48:45.000Does anybody think that's a good idea?
00:48:50.000And I don't say I don't endorse that because I think the media is going to take it easy on me for saying that, but because I think we need to correct the record.
00:48:58.000Because people like myself were led into Charlottesville without really understanding what was going to happen there, without really understanding what kind of people are going to be there, people that I did not want to be associated with.
00:49:26.000But I'm not somebody who's going to go to Charlottesville yelling, Jews will not replace us, F these people, and throwing out racial epithets and getting Nazi tattoos and all that kind of thing.
00:50:05.000I mean, just think about it in terms of cost benefit analysis.
00:50:08.000And this is what I said from the beginning.
00:50:10.000You had people deplatformed from payment processes, from websites, from all kinds of things, people's lives ruined, people's families threatened, people seriously hurt.
00:50:38.000You have to have clearly defined goals, you have to have a way to measure them, and only then can you do activism.
00:50:45.000My activism, I can explain top to bottom why we're doing it, how we can measure success, what you can do tomorrow, what you can do next week, what you can do in a year, how we can judge if we're being successful.
00:50:56.000I say do three things join a college group on campus.
00:51:01.000Join your local GOP, go on a campaign, or run for office.
00:51:11.000Infiltrate the Republican Party, make it a nationalist, traditionalist workers' party, subvert it, and we redirect the country from the sovereign government.
00:51:22.000What are the clearly defined goals for Unite the Right?
00:51:37.000In the meantime, every time that happens, that's the Casa's belly for them to go after us on social media, for the For the federal government to come after us?
00:52:10.000Yeah, that's a real, and I don't, look, I don't say idiot to be really hard on people who love their country, but only to ridicule that kind of mentality.
00:52:20.000Which is almost just buffoonish, which is almost just primitive.
00:52:57.000It's a lot harder to go to a GOP meeting where it's boring and it sucks.
00:53:01.000You have to talk about zoning rules and pensions and taxes and go every week, week after week, when it's not fun, when your tummy hurts, when you're feeling low, whatever, and then to go campaign and to knock on doors and to shake hands and to connect people with networks and to write things.
00:53:22.000That's a lot harder, but that's what's going to win us the battle.
00:57:19.000If you went up to, here's a good example.
00:57:22.000If you went up to a Jew in 1880 and you said, in a hundred years, the Jews will not only have their own country, but they'll have it in the middle of the Muslim world, currently the Ottoman Caliphate.
00:57:37.000It'll be in the middle of the Ottoman Caliphate, in one of the holiest sites in Islam, in one of the holiest sites for Jews.
01:00:31.000The Gabbian squad, the Gab squad of I had somebody the other day, and I don't think people in the media will ever understand what it's like.
01:00:40.000In this movement, they see it from the outside looking in, but I don't think they'll ever understand the dynamics inside.
01:00:46.000It's so much crazier than even they think it is.
01:00:49.000I get people like somebody's username on Gab is kikeslammer88 calling me on making all these memes about me on Gab, and they're like terrible.
01:01:00.000Where it's like they lasso selected my face on paint and pasted it onto some low res picture.
01:01:09.000So it's like the media will say white nationalist, white supremacist.
01:01:13.000Nazi who marched with the Nazis in Charlottesville, Nick Fuentes.
01:01:17.000And meanwhile, on Gav, I got Kike Slammer 88 making memes, calling me a spick, calling me all this crazy stuff.
01:01:26.000And so these are the high IQ white people that we're talking about, right?
01:01:32.000You know, for all this talk about, I went to the American Renaissance and there was a South African guy who gave a speech about how the white race was truly glorious.
01:01:42.000The white race is the only one to have created the ballpoint.
01:03:47.000Now I'm kind of more into actual things that are funny.
01:03:51.000So I know people think that if you go against the most ugly and vile expressions, that you're cucking, you know, right?
01:04:02.000You can be against mass immigration, but if you're not down with gratuitous racial epithets, you know, you're just probably not really right wing.
01:04:12.000You're not really right wing enough, right?
01:04:44.000If America weathers a world war on its soil, And then it's on top of it, it's imposed a very crushing post war agreement.
01:04:54.000And then there's, you know, a major economic downturn.
01:04:59.000And it's been tough for many, many years.
01:05:01.000Well, okay, maybe you'd have an argument.
01:05:03.000And it's the government's a puppet government, whatever.
01:05:06.000And in the case of the Soviet Union, maybe if you've weathered this failing autocracy, the people are starving, the government's repressing and killing people in the streets, there's been anarchism for years, all the rest, there's a major world war in order.
01:05:50.000I will not entertain anything on this show that is.
01:05:53.000Going to talk about overthrowing the government.
01:05:56.000Sorry, folks, but that's federal agent talk.
01:05:59.000It's nice for, you know, I don't know, teenage daydreams, but for anybody that's serious, that's just, it's so beyond the pale in terms of if you want to ever be a serious political person.
01:06:55.000I know people really want to get involved in all that.
01:06:57.000Read books, make yourself a better person.
01:07:00.000You really, and I say this in retrospect as somebody who's still a young man.
01:07:04.000And when I was in high school, I didn't know what the hell I was talking about even then.
01:07:07.000I mean, I knew better than most people, but I was still one of these corny libertarians.
01:07:12.000I'm still, you know, was still just like a child.
01:07:15.000So I would say if we're going to be a real traditionalist nationalist movement, we have to engage the youth, but engage them in the right ways.
01:07:22.000And so if you're in high school, be reading books, be spreading these ideas with your friends, be talking about them, try and find out what you want to do with your life, who you want to be, what your political ideas are.
01:07:34.000But any kind of organization, a little premature.
01:08:44.000I know there's people in Eastern California, not on the coast, but in the mountains and on the other side of the mountains that are conservative.
01:10:31.000Reagan says excessive self deprecating humor in hero movies tells us that even though the story has heroes and villains, the people writing it think struggles between good and evil are just a joke.
01:10:43.000Lord of the Rings and classic Star Wars aren't like this.
