00:00:01.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:02.000 You are watching America First.
00:00:04.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:00:05.000 We've got a great show for you tonight.
00:00:07.000 We are back again this week after a little bit of an intermission, a little bit of a hiatus last week, or I'm sorry, yesterday.
00:00:17.000 And I apologize.
00:00:18.000 I wasn't feeling well.
00:00:19.000 I was really planning on doing the show.
00:00:22.000 It was 6 o'clock, you know, and I said we weren't going to do the show.
00:00:27.000 But I was just feeling really, really lousy, very, very sleepy, big tummy ache.
00:00:33.000 The jet lag, I think, had finally gotten to me.
00:00:36.000 Because the show on Tuesday, was it?
00:00:38.000 I got back on Tuesday.
00:00:41.000 That show, I had been up the night before, and so I was running just basically on, like, you know, that kind of thing.
00:00:49.000 So yesterday, it finally caught up to me, but now I'm back.
00:00:53.000 Now we're back for another big show.
00:00:54.000 There is a lot to talk about.
00:00:56.000 We're talking, of course, about the Catholic abuse scandal.
00:01:00.000 Very unfortunate, very tragic.
00:01:02.000 And I've seen a lot of anti Catholic hatred online, a lot of anti Catholic.
00:01:07.000 Prejudice online.
00:01:09.000 You know, it's funny now we get our turn to play the victim, which I do like, you know, because Jews or black people or whoever, it's like anybody says boo about what happens to any other group and they get to claim oppression.
00:01:22.000 They get a free Big Mac, whatever. 0.84
00:01:25.000 You know, the government comes in and gives them money. 1.00
00:01:27.000 Finally, now it's Catholics' turn to say, excuse me, it's going a little too far.
00:01:33.000 And I actually kind of understand now, perhaps, the plight of others, you know, when people say, oh, well, there's a terrorist attack.
00:01:40.000 What's that going to mean for the Muslims? 0.98
00:01:42.000 Or, oh, you know, black people killing each other again. 0.99
00:01:46.000 What's that going to mean for racism against the black community? 0.99
00:01:49.000 Well, when Catholic priests go and abuse people, like people who I didn't even know, people hundreds or thousands of miles away from me do something and I didn't know about them.
00:01:59.000 I didn't know about it.
00:02:01.000 People are saying, Nick, you're, how could you?
00:02:04.000 You're a bad guy.
00:02:05.000 You're losing credibility.
00:02:06.000 It's like, well, I just go to church.
00:02:09.000 I just say my prayers.
00:02:10.000 I don't have anything to do with that.
00:02:12.000 But, well, of course, it's profound evil.
00:02:14.000 And it's tough because it's a difficult thing.
00:02:17.000 Line to walk because, on the one hand, the story should be there's horrible, evil, perverted people in the clergy who did horrible, evil, perverted things, and we have to talk about that.
00:02:31.000 That's not good, but by the same token, a lot of the reaction, a lot of the response is something that is perhaps is it's I don't know if it's as dangerous, but it certainly is dangerous when people say that that invalidates the Catholic religion, when that invalidates Catholic doctrine.
00:02:49.000 So, we're going to have a little bit of a detailed discussion about that.
00:02:52.000 And we have to talk about it.
00:02:54.000 I mean, we talk about the Catholic religion so much in the QA portion of the show when there's no news about the Catholic Church.
00:03:03.000 So, we have to talk about it when it is in the news.
00:03:05.000 We'll be talking about the press.
00:03:07.000 We'll be talking about Omarosa and some other things.
00:03:11.000 You know, this article came out the other day in the Boston Globe, as well as in over 350 other newspapers in the country.
00:03:20.000 Demanding that they publish editorials for free speech and solidarity against Trump.
00:03:26.000 And it's just got to be the most backwards on what planet, right?
00:03:31.000 The Boston Globe, all these papers are publishing articles in defiance of the president who is attacking the press.
00:03:39.000 They want their First Amendment rights protected.
00:03:41.000 Oh, really?
00:03:43.000 You know, can you think of anything that's happened in the last week and a half, right, that might concern freedom of speech in the country?
00:03:51.000 Where are they for that, right?
00:03:54.000 And the hypocrisies are just piling up. 0.80
00:03:57.000 It's unbelievable.
00:03:59.000 I really, what more is there to say at this point?
00:04:02.000 It's kind of, I know it's become cliched for conservatives to say, well, if it were this way, liberals wouldn't like it.
00:04:10.000 Or, well, how about this double standard?
00:04:12.000 You know, it's kind of tired at this point.
00:04:14.000 But honestly, I don't know what else.
00:04:17.000 What else is there to do?
00:04:18.000 They hold all the cards, with the exception of one.
00:04:21.000 They don't hold the White House, but they've got everything else.
00:04:23.000 But we'll be talking about that.
00:04:25.000 And we'll be talking about Omarosa.
00:04:28.000 You know what they say about Omarosa?
00:04:30.000 Around Omarosa, never relax.
00:04:33.000 That's what they say.
00:04:35.000 They say around Omarosa, never relax.
00:04:39.000 And I guess the Trump family is learning their lesson because she recorded all these tapes, allegedly.
00:04:45.000 And the tapes are innocuous.
00:04:46.000 She recorded this tape of her getting fired by General John Kelly.
00:04:51.000 It was nothing.
00:04:52.000 And actually, it's ironic because she thought by recording this, she would be protected.
00:04:58.000 She'd be really vindicated or something.
00:05:01.000 She said the reason she recorded, even though it could possibly be extremely illegal, she recorded in the In the situation room.
00:05:08.000 The reason she said she did it was because in the Trump White House, everybody's going after each other.
00:05:14.000 She had to watch her back.
00:05:15.000 And by recording that, not only did she not protect herself, because there's nothing in there that indicts the administration in any way, but the opposite happens.
00:05:25.000 She put herself in jeopardy because she put a recording device in the situation room and recorded.
00:05:32.000 She may end up in jail for that.
00:05:34.000 That would be pretty cool. 1.00
00:05:35.000 So we'll be talking about Omarosa.
00:05:37.000 She alleges that Trump used the N word. 1.00
00:05:39.000 Which is funny. 1.00
00:05:40.000 If he said the N word, it would make him like him more. 1.00
00:05:43.000 You know, I don't have a problem with people saying words. 1.00
00:05:46.000 I'm a real free speech kind of guy.
00:05:49.000 I love free speech.
00:05:50.000 I think anybody should be able to say anything.
00:05:53.000 And outside of context, really, that should be free of consequences. 0.93
00:05:57.000 A little something like that happened to me last year when I was recorded saying things like Jews are hurting me in my everyday life and that interracial relationships were degenerative.
00:06:09.000 You know, that was totally out of context.
00:06:11.000 And when it comes to things that are out of context, I'm a free speech absolutist.
00:06:15.000 When it comes to private recordings and there's no context as to what's being said, I could have meant anything by that.
00:06:22.000 And same with Trump saying that word.
00:06:24.000 Same with, hello, Papa John.
00:06:26.000 He could have meant anything by saying that word.
00:06:29.000 It's just a word, folks.
00:06:31.000 So I'll be talking about that.
00:06:32.000 A real interesting point, I think, that I will make later on in the show when a lot of people in the dissonant right are critical of the president for saying, for example, Black unemployment is the lowest in history, Hispanic, et cetera, et cetera.
00:06:50.000 In a word, when he tries to appeal to minorities, a lot of dissident white people will become critical and say, this is essentially a futile effort.
00:07:01.000 We haven't won more than, what, 10% of the black vote, 15% of the black vote in 50 years.
00:07:08.000 So why try to appeal to, what is it, 30 some million blacks when you could appeal to 200 million whites?
00:07:17.000 A dramatic increase in black support would be nearly impossible, and it would result in very few extra votes, a very small change in the electorate.
00:07:30.000 A modest increase in the white vote, which is entirely doable, as we saw during the 2016 election, would yield many more votes.
00:07:38.000 I mean, it's mathematics. 0.75
00:07:39.000 And I think when Omarosa brings up the end tape, I mean, yeah, that would probably hurt his appeal with black voters.
00:07:47.000 I got to be honest, probably not more than he already did.
00:07:50.000 Has done that. 0.80
00:07:52.000 The real impact would be the effect of white people.
00:07:55.000 Because it's kind of curious.
00:07:56.000 It's like this American noblesse oblige where we feel that, well, if black people are being oppressed, we're less likely to support a candidate.
00:08:06.000 So we'll get into all that.
00:08:08.000 What I really want to start with, actually, though, is kind of something unfortunate that happened to me.
00:08:14.000 I found out this week I got a ticket, an administrative ticket from one of those red light cameras.
00:08:22.000 And I'll tell you why I'm saying this.
00:08:25.000 Now, normally this wouldn't make the show.
00:08:27.000 Because I guess this happens to everybody all the time.
00:08:31.000 But they have these red light cameras up.
00:08:32.000 There's only like one in the whole city, and I never knew it was there.
00:08:36.000 I drove through that light probably hundreds of times, never had a problem.
00:08:43.000 But they have one there.
00:08:44.000 And the issue they claim, they claim, they allege, I am not admitting guilt, I'm not commenting on the case, which I will contest, but they allege that I did not come to a complete stop.
00:08:58.000 When I took a right on a red light, I didn't stop for long enough or whatever.
00:09:02.000 And so that's what they allege.
00:09:05.000 So they sent me a ticket.
00:09:06.000 And the way it works, by the way, is outrageous.
00:09:08.000 It's a $100 fine.
00:09:10.000 And you only have like three days to contest it.
00:09:13.000 So this is clearly targeting minorities like myself so that we cannot rise up and return to our former glory.
00:09:22.000 You know, that's what it's designed.
00:09:23.000 It really is regressive, I will say, you know, because it's in a more affluent area.
00:09:27.000 I imagine people with lots of money, it's like, okay, whatever.
00:09:31.000 Here's $100.
00:09:33.000 They're not going to contest it.
00:09:34.000 They're not going to make us think about it, even though it basically just is a way for the state to collect more revenue.
00:09:41.000 It's just another shakedown.
00:09:43.000 They say that something like, in some areas, 40% of these tickets get thrown out.
00:09:49.000 I mean, the rate is pretty crazy.
00:09:51.000 And in many cases, the red light camera doesn't even catch an actual infraction.
00:09:55.000 And there's numbers on this that it's absurd, but 95% of people pay anyway.
00:10:01.000 But what I wanted to say about this, because I was thinking about it long and hard, and I was thinking, About a guy like Adam Kokesh, who I debated.
00:10:08.000 And it's just funny because he's one of these libertarians.
00:10:11.000 He says that the state is evil.
00:10:13.000 It is always evil because the state is forced, the state is coercion.
00:10:17.000 And I think to myself, he does not really believe that.
00:10:20.000 And the reason being is because if he were in that situation, he gets stopped at a traffic light or whatever.
00:10:29.000 I'm sure he pays his taxes.
00:10:30.000 He says he doesn't, but I'm sure he lives in compliance, he lives in congruence with American laws.
00:10:37.000 To me, when he says that kind of thing, oh, the state's immoral.
00:10:40.000 And libertarians, all libertarians do this, by the way.
00:10:42.000 They say taxation is theft, and there are all these moralizing martyrs.
00:10:48.000 The government is so evil.
00:10:49.000 And to me, it's like if you really believe that there is that evil, you don't, you would not be complicit in it.
00:10:55.000 You would not be going along with it.
00:10:57.000 You would not be abetting it in the way that they always do.
00:11:00.000 And so I thought that was just kind of funny because here I am.
00:11:03.000 I'm contesting it because I'm like, I don't want to pay the money.
00:11:07.000 You know, people accuse me of being certain things.
00:11:09.000 Perhaps that's why the 23 in me didn't say that, but I refused to pay the money $100, $1,000.
00:11:15.000 I'm not paying, you know.
00:11:18.000 I didn't break any rules.
00:11:19.000 I was driving too cool, I guess.
00:11:22.000 But I think about these libertarians and they have all these dramatic moral codes, taxation is theft, and yet they're complicit.
00:11:30.000 They're going to do it just like anybody else.
00:11:32.000 So, anyway, I don't know.
00:11:34.000 That's not really a huge point.
00:11:35.000 I guess it's just to say they're kind of full of it.
00:11:37.000 But the first thing I want to talk about is the press.
00:11:42.000 And the reason it's in the news, it's been in the news a lot lately.
00:11:46.000 The reporters, the journalists, the media have been crying bloody murder because the president says that the press is the enemy of the people, which they are.
00:11:57.000 I mean, they are that, right?
00:11:59.000 If they are going to attack, the administration is representative of the will of the American people.
00:12:05.000 He won the election.
00:12:07.000 He was given a mandate by the people to achieve what he set out to achieve, to achieve his platform, which is build a wall, stop conflict with Russia, end the Middle Eastern wars, make good trade deals.
00:12:20.000 Whether he lost the popular vote or not, whether they like him or not, when the president is elected, and we do have a system now where it is basically a democratic popular election, and it used to be the case, it's a hybrid now, of course, but it used to be the case that the Electoral College was not having a big vote in their state.
00:12:42.000 They were not going to vote whether there was a popular tally in their state, one way or the other.
00:12:48.000 Moreover, even people who were voting in the presidential election, It was a very, very, very small amount of people, nowhere close to universal suffrage.
00:12:58.000 So, the way the electoral college used to work is that the elites got together and decided who the president would be.
00:13:03.000 Now, because we have a popular system, and again, it's a hybrid because it's also representative of the states, it's actually an interesting system.
00:13:13.000 But because of that, when we elect a president, popular or electoral, he is a representation of the will of the people.
00:13:21.000 He's given a mandate by the people, and that is how our constitution is designed.
00:13:26.000 To then execute the will of the people, to enforce the laws the way the people see fit.
00:13:31.000 And so when the press obstructs that process, when they get in the middle, when they become an obstacle to the execution of the will of the American people, what does that make them, folks?
00:13:41.000 What does it make them?
00:13:42.000 If the people say, we don't want war with Russia, we don't want war in the Middle East, these things are dangerous, we want a wall to protect our families, and the press says, I'm sorry, you can't have that, I'm sorry, you can't have your wall, you can't have peace with Russia, you can't have peace with the Middle East.
00:13:59.000 What does that make them?
00:14:00.000 That's the only thing you could say.
00:14:02.000 They're the opposition party.
00:14:03.000 They're the enemy.
00:14:05.000 The fake press is the enemy of the people.
00:14:08.000 But they get all up.
00:14:09.000 They get all, they get their panties in a bunch.
00:14:11.000 They don't get in a bunch, but their underwear does, certainly.
00:14:15.000 And they say, oh, you know, it's the First Amendment.
00:14:17.000 It's the attack on the press.
00:14:19.000 And, you know, I see a lot of other people. 0.98
00:14:22.000 I'm going to have to bust his balls a little bit, but I see certain people, friends of mine, sure, but certain coastal elites, even who are Trumpists. 0.98
00:14:32.000 Who say that his attacks are boorish or, you know, they're offensive. 0.98
00:14:36.000 And, you know, if you're, you know, kind of an elite person, I get that.
00:14:40.000 I get where that comes from.
00:14:41.000 But people in middle America love this kind of stuff because we see the total hypocrisy of the media, that the media is going to play the victim, really.
00:14:50.000 The media is what?
00:14:51.000 Six major conglomerates control 95% of the media.
00:14:56.000 And they beat us over the head all day long with this kind of stuff about the cultural issues, the social issues, who we should vote for.
00:15:04.000 And with Trump, he's our president.
00:15:05.000 And all day long, we hear salacious rumors, unfounded, anonymous sources and stories, this kind of stuff.
00:15:13.000 And when Trump attacks them, he's the only guy in Washington, D.C. who has the guts to do it.
00:15:18.000 To me, I love that.
00:15:20.000 I don't care how it's expressed, right?
00:15:21.000 I think that's how people are endeared to the president, particularly me.
00:15:25.000 You know, I was like a gay, constitutionalist, libertarian.
00:15:29.000 Please, please, the free market.
00:15:32.000 And then I saw the press get so outraged about the president.
00:15:35.000 I said, I actually like this guy.
00:15:38.000 Right?
00:15:38.000 So, no matter what, we respect what he's doing because he really is sticking up for the small people in that sense.
00:15:45.000 And they kind of invert it too because they'll make it out like, well, because he's the president, therefore we're in power, therefore we're the establishment.
00:15:53.000 When in actuality, we know that every major power center in the country is controlled by the same people, and we got what against impossible odds.
00:16:03.000 And it was pretty, it was laid pretty bare during the election how asymmetrical the power structure was when.
00:16:09.000 There wasn't a single newspaper that endorsed Trump, not a single network, not a single, you know, and how much of Hollywood, how much of all these institutions, corporations, multinationals, celebrities went for Hillary, how asymmetrical it was.
00:16:24.000 He won this impossible campaign.
00:16:26.000 He gets in, his own party rebels against him, and it just goes to show we're not the establishment.
00:16:31.000 We are an insurgency, and depending on how successful it is, we may become the establishment, but I mean, that's not how it is now.
00:16:38.000 I think a good example of this is we saw.
00:16:41.000 And I tweeted this out today.
00:16:43.000 There's a commercial from my childhood, like 2006, 2005.
00:16:49.000 It was a classic.
00:16:50.000 It was on all the time, every other hour, you know, when you were watching Nickelodeon or whatever.
00:16:56.000 Disney did not have outside commercials.
00:16:56.000 It wasn't on Disney.
00:16:59.000 I think they still don't.
00:17:01.000 You know, they only have the Disney commercials.
00:17:03.000 But on like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, this was on all the time.
00:17:06.000 It was a Chef Boyardee commercial.
00:17:09.000 And the premise of the commercial is there's a little girl.
00:17:12.000 She's walking through the grocery store.
00:17:13.000 I'll tell you the significance of it in a moment. 0.95
00:17:15.000 I know the boomers are out there like, what is he talking about? 0.94
00:17:19.000 What is it, Chef Boyardee? 1.00
00:17:20.000 What is he talking about?
00:17:21.000 This commercial?
00:17:23.000 Relax, relax, all right?
00:17:25.000 Take your medication and relax.
00:17:27.000 Drink your Monsters Euro Ultra.
00:17:29.000 I'm going to explain the significance.
00:17:32.000 This little girl, she's walking through the store and she sees the Chef Boyardee and she's like, can we get the ravioli or whatever, the raviolio, the spaghetti o.
00:17:40.000 And then I was like, put that back, sweetheart.
00:17:42.000 We'd have chef.
00:17:43.000 We'd have.
00:17:44.000 We've had Chef every night this week.
00:17:47.000 She's like, but I love Chef.
00:17:49.000 And they go, they leave the store, and then the can jumps off the shelf and it rolls across the street by itself home.
00:17:56.000 She picks it up, and I was like, oh, what a relationship.
00:17:59.000 And I was watching that commercial because I get a little nostalgic.
00:18:02.000 My Twitter account may become a Generation Z nostalgia account, perhaps, if the politics thing doesn't work out.
00:18:09.000 But I watched that commercial.
00:18:11.000 Here's the significance of it. 0.70
00:18:14.000 In this commercial, There is no interracial kissing. 0.93
00:18:17.000 It's not a black guy making out with his white wife. 0.58
00:18:21.000 It's not a commercial about AIDS medication, right? 1.00
00:18:24.000 That's, oh, you know, there's a tranny saying, if you try this drug, you're not going to get AIDS when you have casual gay sex. 1.00
00:18:33.000 It's not one of these commercials where the male is a bumbling doofus. 1.00
00:18:37.000 It's a husband or a little boy who just can't seem to get it right. 0.98
00:18:41.000 You know, he just needs one of those smart women to show him how it works. 0.99
00:18:46.000 In a word, just 10 years ago, it was normal.
00:18:49.000 It was normal.
00:18:50.000 It was reflective of our way of life.
00:18:53.000 And it's funny how deafening that is, how profound and striking it is that you see just a normal, normative commercial that depicts what life is like for normal people.
00:19:05.000 And to us, it's significant to us now in 2018.
00:19:09.000 It's like, gee, that's pretty different.
00:19:12.000 And the texture was different, you know, a much more comfy kind of a feel.
00:19:16.000 Now you watch these commercials and you feel like you're on another planet.
00:19:19.000 You feel like you're.
00:19:20.000 Watching, I don't even know.
00:19:22.000 Something that was made probably by people in Manhattan, which it is, you know, but it just goes to show that's who the media is in the country.
00:19:29.000 So, when Trump says, oh, it's the media is the enemy, the media is the enemy, he's not talking about Edward R. Murrow, who's out there reporting the facts, reporting, oh, well, you know, and then like the wind is blowing and it's raining, oh, it's going to be a big storm.
00:19:43.000 He's not talking about people in Iraq who are like, oh, well, ISIS is growing today and they're reporting the facts.
00:19:50.000 He's talking about the media, the press, political press, the culture, which is transforming the nation. 0.88
00:19:58.000 And they are the enemy, a very important, very significant enemy.
00:20:03.000 Things that they are in control of that does make them the enemy.
00:20:07.000 And people are starting to agree with that.
00:20:09.000 You look at any of the numbers, there was a poll that came out this week that said that 51% of Republicans believe the press is the enemy of the people.
00:20:17.000 The media gets all up in arms about it.
00:20:19.000 And the grand irony of it all, of course, I mean, we know this.
00:20:22.000 We know the media is the enemy.
00:20:24.000 We know that Trump is our voice attacking the media.
00:20:27.000 But the real kicker, of course, is when you think about prior events.
00:20:31.000 I mean, it all kicked off with Sarah Jong.
00:20:34.000 Who is now, by the way, verified on Twitter.com. 0.98
00:20:37.000 That's another beauty.
00:20:38.000 It keeps getting worse.
00:20:39.000 You know, every day there's outrage and there's email campaigns and telephone campaigns, and it just gets worse.
00:20:47.000 It all started with Sarah Jung of the New York Times.
00:20:50.000 Her tweets are discovered.
00:20:51.000 Actually, it goes back much further.
00:20:53.000 It goes back to Daily Stormer, Richard Spencer, the alt right.
00:20:56.000 They were the canary in the coal mine.
00:20:58.000 They got shut down.
00:20:59.000 Nobody said anything, with few exceptions, myself included.
00:21:02.000 But nobody said anything about that because they didn't like Richard Spencer.
00:21:06.000 They didn't like Daily Stormer and Gavin McGinnis in particular.
00:21:10.000 He's a character where, you know, I like him personally.
00:21:14.000 I've talked to him before.
00:21:15.000 He has this impression that I don't like him.
00:21:18.000 And I understand that.
00:21:19.000 I do attack him a lot.
00:21:20.000 So I guess if you attack someone, they get the impression they don't like you.
00:21:24.000 But I like him personally.
00:21:25.000 But here's a guy who got kicked off Twitter last week.
00:21:29.000 He completely suspended, no strikes, no warning, just completely shut down all his proud boys and their leadership.
00:21:36.000 Was he out there defending Richard Spencer and Charlottesville and Daily Stormer?
00:21:40.000 No, he was not.
00:21:42.000 No, he was not.
00:21:43.000 And so what happened?
00:21:44.000 Infowars.
00:21:45.000 You know, look, I like Infowars.
00:21:46.000 I like Alex Jones, but I hate to say it, they're getting shut down now.
00:21:50.000 Where were they last year during Charlottesville?
00:21:53.000 Were they talking about Baked Alaska getting maced in the eyes?
00:21:58.000 And it was worse than mace?
00:21:59.000 No.
00:21:59.000 And look, people make mistakes.
00:22:01.000 I like Infowars, like Alex, but just goes to show this had some real antecedents last year, maybe when we could have put the brakes on it.
00:22:08.000 Now, a year later, it's out of control.
00:22:10.000 Well, what did you expect?
00:22:12.000 Well, so it all started, I guess it accelerated perhaps, with Sarah Jong tweeting out this anti white stuff, and the New York Times defends her.
00:22:20.000 And to me, that was really the definitive point.
00:22:23.000 That was the most striking.
00:22:24.000 Like, we've crossed over in the Twilight Zone because here's a clear example of racial hatred.
00:22:30.000 Is there any clear example of racial hatred? 1.00
00:22:32.000 We want to kill white people. 1.00
00:22:33.000 White people are like dogs, et cetera. 1.00
00:22:36.000 And the New York Times, it's not like a quiet thing, it's not like we'll let this go or we'll suspend her with pay or without pay. 0.99
00:22:44.000 They didn't fire her.
00:22:45.000 They come out with a big statement saying, defending her, saying, oh, well, actually, it's totally appropriate because, you know, she was just defending herself.
00:22:54.000 She was parodying people.
00:22:56.000 They keep her.
00:22:57.000 And so not only is that allowed on Twitter.com, where you get shut.
00:23:01.000 If you're the I, when people spell out the N word, you know, you're shut down forever.
00:23:07.000 If you post the wrong meme, as I did, you get suspended.
00:23:10.000 If you say retard, you get suspended. 0.99
00:23:12.000 I mean, all, if you say thought, If you say fag, you get suspended. 1.00
00:23:16.000 She tweets out that the only thing stopping a white genocide is the meekness of people of color. 0.99
00:23:21.000 Okay? 0.99
00:23:22.000 So she gets to keep her Twitter account. 0.99
00:23:24.000 New York Times defends her.
00:23:25.000 A week later, she gets verified.
00:23:27.000 That's par for the course, but all racists must be shut down, docks, harassed, all the rest.
00:23:32.000 Then the Alex Jones things happen.
00:23:34.000 Then the Alex Jones thing happens.
00:23:35.000 He gets shut down on YouTube, Apple, Facebook, a number of others that are not a big deal.
00:23:41.000 Vimeo, Stitch, I don't even know what that is.
00:23:44.000 Pinterest, I'm not on there.
00:23:46.000 Don't know what that is really.
00:23:48.000 And then the FCC takes down his broadcasting, a pirate broadcasting radio tower in Texas.
00:23:54.000 I'm not sure what that was all about, but that was recent.
00:23:57.000 And we see that kind of censorship go on.
00:24:00.000 There were a number of other cases of that this week mass purges on Twitter.com.
00:24:04.000 A lot of my fellas, a lot of my friends getting their accounts shut down.
00:24:08.000 We saw, I think, a few other big accounts get suspended.
00:24:12.000 Some other cases of censorship.
00:24:14.000 Stefan Molyneux got two strikes against his videos, which was reversed, but I mean, it is a pretty spooky system that that can happen.
00:24:21.000 And so you look at what's happened in just the last two weeks, and that's what makes it all the more rich, all the more ironic that the media do this dramatic.
00:24:31.000 Boston Globe leads the charge.
00:24:33.000 Real winners at Boston Globe.
00:24:35.000 I had a guy from the Boston Globe come interview me, and he kept saying, Cool beans.
00:24:39.000 When I was doing America First last year, a year and a half ago, in my buddy's dorm room, this guy came over to do a story, and his photographer came like the day after.
00:24:51.000 And so he was being real shitty about it because it's a small dorm room.
00:24:54.000 And he's like, Well, this just isn't going to work.
00:24:56.000 I can't get any good pictures in here.
00:24:58.000 And we're like, What do you expect to happen?
00:25:00.000 Do you expect us to make the room bigger?
00:25:04.000 What do you expect me to do with the show?
00:25:05.000 Should I change how I do the show every day to accommodate you?
00:25:10.000 Because it's a small room.
00:25:11.000 He's like, I just can't get any pictures.
00:25:13.000 Is there any way I could sneak across in the middle of it?
00:25:16.000 No, you can't do that.
00:25:18.000 And then he kept, after the show was over, he's like, okay, cool beans. 0.99
00:25:23.000 And we're like, yeah, just get the fuck out of here, freak. 0.99
00:25:23.000 Thank you. 0.99
00:25:26.000 But anyway, that's the Boston Globe.
00:25:29.000 They did a big story about me called The Kids Are Far Right or something.
00:25:33.000 Anyway.
00:25:34.000 But so the Boston Globe leads this big dramatic charge, 350 publications.
00:25:38.000 We are standing against the Trump administration in favor of freedom of the press.
00:25:44.000 Number one, freedom of the press is not being abridged in any way.
00:25:48.000 It's like he doesn't call, or Sarah Huckabee Sanders doesn't call on CNN every press conference, and the press is under assault, right?
00:25:56.000 He says the press is the enemy of the people at a rally.
00:25:59.000 Nothing happens.
00:26:00.000 And oh, but there's free speech is under assault.
00:26:03.000 The press goes after a kid on Reddit.
00:26:05.000 For making a gif that the president posts, doxes him, ruins his life, that's fine.
00:26:11.000 They go up to a lady in Florida, some elderly lady in Florida who reposted something on Facebook and dox her.
00:26:18.000 They do one of these confrontational things, that's fine, of course.
00:26:22.000 Maxine Waters says there should be violence against Trump supporters, yeah, totally fine.
00:26:26.000 Charlottesville protesters killing themselves because their lives were ruined, that's not an abridgment.
00:26:32.000 And then everything that happened this week Alex Jones, Stefan Molyneux, Gav McGinnis, where's the defense for free speech there?
00:26:39.000 Oh, well, but that's a private company.
00:26:41.000 It's different, you see, Goy.
00:26:43.000 Hey, Goy, it's different.
00:26:45.000 And what this is really about, it just goes to show what it's about in the case of Sarah Jong, what it's about in the case of Alex Jones, Boston Globe, you put it all together, Donald Trump.
00:26:56.000 What this is about is it's about the truth, it's about history.
00:27:01.000 The press understands that like 10 years ago, they were trusted 100%.
00:27:08.000 What was on the press is what.
00:27:10.000 It's what goes, right?
00:27:12.000 Because they're reporting it on Fox and they're reporting it on NBC and they're reporting it on CNN and CBS.
00:27:18.000 And it was basically unquestionable.
00:27:20.000 The Iraq war, the things that like Brian Williams was saying, or what's his name from NBC?
00:27:25.000 Brian Williams, right?
00:27:27.000 Or not Brian Wilson.
00:27:28.000 I don't know.
00:27:28.000 It's Brian Williams.
00:27:30.000 But they got to lie all day long, or they could say whatever they wanted, and people believe them because they were in a suit and they were in a big studio.
00:27:36.000 And why would they lie, right?
00:27:37.000 Why would they lie?
00:27:38.000 They're the press.
00:27:40.000 And some liberals doubted them, I guess, back when they were cool, back when they were actually anti war.
00:27:45.000 And what this has been about during this election is the fact that their monopoly on information has been contested.
00:27:50.000 Whereas before, if every newspaper in the country went against Trump and they played the Trump tape and they played all the other scandals and the other gotcha sound bites and they said he's a racist, He wouldn't have stood a chance in hell.
00:28:03.000 It would have been actually impossible as opposed to just like rhetorically impossible.
00:28:07.000 It would have been impossible if they had done that in 2008 and 2012.
00:28:12.000 But what social media and alternative media has allowed to happen is actual dissent.
00:28:17.000 Actually, now, and they said it was post truth.
00:28:20.000 They said, well, if we can't determine the truth, then we're living in an era of no truth.
00:28:24.000 And what do you think about that?
00:28:26.000 You know, but actually, it allowed for people to say, well, there are alternative.
00:28:31.000 That was the media hit us for that, but there's alternative perspectives.
00:28:31.000 Facts.
00:28:34.000 There's alternative frames. 0.99
00:28:36.000 You know, the media says when Trump says that immigrants are bringing drugs, crime, and rapists, that means that he's a white supremacist. 0.95
00:28:44.000 And we said, well, no, that's not entirely true. 0.97
00:28:47.000 There is a real problem.
00:28:48.000 And is it an exaggeration?
00:28:50.000 Perhaps is it in poor taste?
00:28:51.000 Was that the right choice of words?
00:28:53.000 Maybe it was impolite, but there is a greater truth there for sure.
00:28:57.000 And what dissonant media, the social media, decentralized internet allowed, On Facebook, on Twitter, on YouTube, is for people to break, really break the conditioning, as Alex Jones likes to say, and say that, well, the media narrative is not the only narrative.
00:29:12.000 The media might not be true.
00:29:14.000 When we actually think about media, what keeps them on the air?
00:29:16.000 Who owns the media?
00:29:18.000 And what power does the media have?
00:29:20.000 Would you not perhaps at the least speculate that the media is an extremely powerful institution and perhaps interested powers, interested factions, or Investors or corporations might have an interest in what the media is reporting.
00:29:37.000 We know that politicians are bought because politicians are bought and paid for because they're powerful and they pass laws.
00:29:42.000 What about the media?
00:29:44.000 The media is extremely powerful, culture is extremely powerful.
00:29:47.000 Might it be outside the realm of possibility to suggest that they too might have an agenda?
00:29:52.000 And that's what the 2016 election was about.
00:29:54.000 That's why they're going after Facebook.
00:29:57.000 They're tightening the screws on Facebook, saying, and Mark Zuckerberg has actually been somewhat of a defender.
00:30:02.000 He said that he would defend quote unquote Holocaust deniers for that reason.
00:30:06.000 Because we don't know the truth. 0.83
00:30:08.000 And perhaps it's helpful if people really believe this stuff.
00:30:11.000 But they've been tightening the screws on Facebook.
00:30:12.000 That's how it started.
00:30:13.000 They put in place these restrictions where they said you have to report fake news.
00:30:18.000 And, you know, well, at this 1984 thing, will you tell Facebook?
00:30:21.000 And then Facebook will say, warning, this is not state approved.
00:30:26.000 And then they started kicking people off YouTube and Twitter.
00:30:28.000 And here we are with Alex Jones, who was the biggest network that was well funded or, you know, they were a pretty decently sized operation, lots of revenue, and they were completely.
00:30:39.000 Off the script, completely private, no corporate backers, no billionaire backers.
00:30:43.000 They could say whatever they want to millions and millions of people.
00:30:46.000 And the powers that be in the country said, well, that's not going to fly.
00:30:50.000 That's not the way it's going to work.
00:30:52.000 And so that's what we really come down to is really sort of on I don't know.
00:30:56.000 I don't know if you'd call it quite epistemological.
00:30:59.000 But certainly it's something where there is something to be said in political theory about how a free, liberal, democratic society can function.
00:31:09.000 If there is a monopoly on information by a few vested interests, right?
00:31:14.000 I mean, what is it to say that, well, the founders started the country in 1776 or 1788 or 89 when the Constitution was written and ratified, that you could have a printing press and distribute your own paper?
00:31:27.000 And that was the extent of it.
00:31:28.000 You had the town crier, I don't know.
00:31:30.000 We probably didn't have a town crier.
00:31:32.000 But, I mean, you know, you had papers and you could have a printing press and there were pamphlets and there could be extremist literature and that was fine.
00:31:40.000 But fast forward all the way now and all we have is mass media, right?
00:31:44.000 It's highly centralized, it's in the hands of very, very few people, many, many.
00:31:49.000 Networks and channels and radio stations, but in the hands of very, very few people.
00:31:54.000 Very tight control, very tight restrictions on what you're allowed to say.
00:31:58.000 And there's no real competition for that.
00:31:59.000 Well, now we have social media, which is the only way anybody gets their news now.
00:32:04.000 And perhaps that might have opened it up to liberalize, to have competition.
00:32:08.000 And they're shutting that down, too.
00:32:09.000 So that's what it's about.
00:32:10.000 It's really about who's going to write history.
00:32:12.000 Because the ultimate objective, we can scream and holler now.
00:32:17.000 They're censoring, they're printing lies, they're the fake press.
00:32:20.000 But they're.
00:32:23.000 Their plan is for the long term.
00:32:25.000 They're trying to rewrite history.
00:32:28.000 Because here's what happens if they shut down Infor, so they shut everyone, ultimately they'll get everybody and they'll have complete domination of the media.
00:32:35.000 Ultimately, I imagine Fox will go under two.
00:32:38.000 You know, now because Roger Ailes is not running the show, Rupert Murdoch's two sons are running it, and they're by no means conservative.
00:32:46.000 So Fox News will go down, I'm sure, too.
00:32:48.000 What'll happen is that 2020 comes around.
00:32:52.000 Maybe Trump wins, maybe doesn't, but by 2024, Game over, or by 2028.
00:32:57.000 At some point in the next 10 years, Democrats gain control, and it's game over probably forever, for a very long time, because they'll have the minority vote, and minorities will then be in the majority, at least in states like Texas or California, they'll be voting Democratic.
00:33:13.000 And so once that happens, it really won't matter what we're emailing each other, what we're saying on 4chan or whatever, we'll have been wiped out, and the next generation will grow up in public schools that are liberal, high schools that are liberal, colleges that are liberal.
00:33:28.000 All the media is liberal.
00:33:29.000 Everything on television is liberal.
00:33:30.000 Everything in the movies, everything online.
00:33:33.000 They will not stumble upon a Miley Yiannopoulos video.
00:33:37.000 They will not stumble upon a Gav McInnes video.
00:33:39.000 They will not stumble upon America First with Nick Fuentes or Stefan Molyneux or Donald Trump's speech or even a Bill O'Reilly.
00:33:47.000 They just won't.
00:33:48.000 All that stuff will be gone.
00:33:49.000 They'll never see about it.
00:33:50.000 They'll never hear about it.
00:33:52.000 They'll never see it.
00:33:53.000 And as a result, I mean, you understand, they'll have manufactured complete consensus.
00:33:57.000 They'll have erased us from history.
00:33:59.000 And the narrative will be that. 0.99
00:34:00.000 Well, in 2016, this racist buffoon was able to steal the election with the help of the Russians. 0.96
00:34:08.000 But then we moved right along on the right side of history towards progress, towards multiracial, genderless, sexless progress. 0.97
00:34:17.000 And that was just a little accident, a little blip on the radar. 0.76
00:34:22.000 You know, these things happen in history, a minor setback, but now we're ever marching towards liberal, multiracial progress.
00:34:30.000 And that's what they're. 0.92
00:34:32.000 That's the game that they're playing. 0.98
00:34:34.000 People are like, hey, you're being hypocritical. 0.94
00:34:36.000 You're not protecting free speech. 0.94
00:34:38.000 And they're like, yeah, we don't care.
00:34:41.000 And they're saying, yeah, we're trying to rewrite history forever.
00:34:47.000 Sorry, this little document got stepped on in the process.
00:34:50.000 Sorry your little video got shut down, Goy.
00:34:52.000 But that's what's happening right now.
00:34:54.000 That's the game that the media is playing.
00:34:56.000 So a little bit of the bigger picture.
00:34:59.000 But I don't know if we'll have time for Omarosa because we're kind of, gee.
00:35:03.000 It looks like we're kind of getting crunched here.
00:35:05.000 But I do want to talk about the Catholic Church.
00:35:08.000 So it came out the other day.
00:35:09.000 I know that's kind of an abrupt transition, but I'm just looking at the time here.
00:35:13.000 And we're running out.
00:35:14.000 But I did want to spend a lot of time on this Catholic sex abuse scandal.
00:35:20.000 So it came out earlier this week in Pennsylvania that over the past 70 years, and this is a pretty old scandal, but it just came out today, that over the last 70 years, 301 priests abused about 1,000 children.
00:35:34.000 And the sexual abuse, you can read about it online, it's horrific.
00:35:38.000 The allegations about people, like holy waters involved, and it's mostly boys being abused.
00:35:45.000 Some girls as children.
00:35:47.000 And, you know, I, of course, I condemn it just as vigorously as any other institution.
00:35:51.000 That's one of the few things that really, really offends me.
00:35:55.000 You know, you look at murder, you look at war, and this is going to sound kind of cruel and callous, but I mean, you look at these other crimes, and this has happened all the time.
00:36:03.000 We basically accept this, it's a fact of life.
00:36:06.000 That doesn't make it any less tragic or wrong, but it's like, well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.
00:36:12.000 But when you see the abuse of children, and particularly at a systemic level, It's in one case or another.
00:36:18.000 That's tragic.
00:36:19.000 But when you see that it's become a system and people are cognizant of it and it's frequent and organized, that is one of the things that really is the core, ironically, of why I'm religious because you see profound evil.
00:36:33.000 I mean, that's one of the most evil things you can do.
00:36:36.000 And that, I think, calls for there to be a moral code.
00:36:39.000 I don't think it's a debatable thing.
00:36:41.000 I talked to the Satanists at the White House the other week.
00:36:45.000 There were a couple of Satanists protesting outside.
00:36:48.000 We want to.
00:36:49.000 Take down fascism.
00:36:50.000 That's what their sign said Satanists against fascism.
00:36:52.000 And they said, well, all people are moral.
00:36:56.000 They can only do immoral things.
00:36:58.000 And, well, you could disagree about if something's moral or immoral.
00:37:01.000 And that kind of moral relativity, that kind of moral subjectivism is really what brought me to the church, ironically, because the church is the only institution in the world which can claim we objectively can establish what is right and what is wrong, because our Savior established this church and said that it would never err.
00:37:20.000 Gates of hell would never prevail over it, and he did establish this succession that the successor to the Bishop of Rome would have that power.
00:37:28.000 And we have all kinds of reasons to believe that he was the Son of God.
00:37:32.000 Over 450 predictions, and we have historical evidence, and we have metaphysical arguments for how he could have, for why he has to be the Son of God, how we could derive that through reason.
00:37:46.000 And so that's what really brought me to the Catholic Church because it says this is wrong, we know it's wrong, and I say we should all know that's wrong.
00:37:52.000 I don't think there's any disagreement about that. 0.77
00:37:53.000 But.
00:37:55.000 So, that aside, you know, we see that kind of horrible evil, and obviously I condemn that.
00:37:59.000 Obviously, that's the real story, and it's something that has to be changed.
00:38:02.000 You know, Catholics really, the Catholic leadership has to get it together in terms of this Pope and the things that he's saying, which are so far out of line in terms of doctrine and this kind of stuff.
00:38:15.000 Like, this has been going on for decades now, that this abuse, and it's been going on, and it's been like it's been going on for 70, 80 years, the actual abuse.
00:38:25.000 And maybe, like, if they didn't know about it or if the public didn't know about it, but the public has known about this.
00:38:31.000 There's been pressure.
00:38:32.000 The leadership has known about this for probably 25, 30 years now.
00:38:37.000 And still, nothing is done.
00:38:39.000 And that's got to change.
00:38:40.000 It's pretty hard to be.
00:38:41.000 And look, people are right. 1.00
00:38:43.000 The non Catholics are right when they say, well, it's kind of hard for you to have moral authority when the leadership does this. 1.00
00:38:49.000 Now, technically speaking, that doesn't invalidate the Catholic doctrine, which has been around for 2,000 years. 1.00
00:38:54.000 And we'll get into why that is.
00:38:56.000 But.
00:38:57.000 It's definitely not good optics.
00:38:59.000 It's definitely not good optics when you say we are the moral authority, we are, or the Pope says, I am the successor to Peter, I can never err, and they're basically covering up for the most heinous kind of evil.
00:39:11.000 Not good optics.
00:39:13.000 So it's a horrible thing that's happening. 0.92
00:39:15.000 But I will say, in defense of the church, because then people take it to the next level and they say, well, it's an international pedophile ring and they're evil and Catholics are evil and how could this be God's church and this kind of thing? 0.97
00:39:29.000 And there's just so many logical fallacies. 0.95
00:39:32.000 And this is the real point.
00:39:33.000 Look, everybody knows that this is going on.
00:39:36.000 It's in the news, right? 0.81
00:39:37.000 Everybody condemns this, with the exception of probably pedophiles.
00:39:41.000 Every normal person condemns this, knows this is a moral evil, and the pressure's there.
00:39:46.000 You know, let's not pretend like it's Hollywood or like it's any other institution where this.
