America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - The Yeezus Effect | America First Ep. 150

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.

00:00:07.000 Are we good on sound there?

00:00:09.000 All right.

00:00:09.000 I don't know what's going on.

00:00:10.000 The OBS.

00:00:12.000 OBS, we're having a difficult time here, so I'm not too sure about the sound and video.

00:00:17.000 But good evening.

00:00:18.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:20.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:22.000 We've got a great show for you tonight, off to a rocky start.

00:00:25.000 Jeez.

00:00:26.000 I guess it's one of these Mondays, right?

00:00:28.000 But we do have a big show for you tonight.

00:00:30.000 Very excited to bring you.

00:00:32.000 The latest and what's going on.

00:00:34.000 We are glad to see Tucker Carlson is back at the helm.

00:00:38.000 Now, Tucker Carlson is my competition, but I have to say we're glad to see him back.

00:00:43.000 It's a good day.

00:00:45.000 We are reassured. 0.65

00:00:46.000 He had been missing for a few days, if you hadn't noticed, ever since he went on his rant about Syria last week and how the chemical attack could have been a false flag and about the hawks in the administration.

00:00:59.000 He had been missing from Twitter, from his show, with no explanation.

00:01:02.000 And so Tucker is back.

00:01:04.000 Some order is restored.

00:01:06.000 We're feeling better.

00:01:07.000 And we're back on America First to bring you the hard hitting, explosive content that you crave.

00:01:14.000 I'm high energy.

00:01:14.000 I'm here.

00:01:16.000 I went to the gym today and I'm just feeling pumped.

00:01:19.000 I'm feeling jacked.

00:01:21.000 I'm all juiced up.

00:01:22.000 I'm a big, strong boy for mommy.

00:01:25.000 I went to the gym, so mommy knows I'm a big, strong, tough guy.

00:01:29.000 So we are excited to bring you the latest.

00:01:31.000 You know, we have to talk about Kanye West.

00:01:35.000 We have to talk about him.

00:01:36.000 I will say, I was on board with Kanye West before it was cool, before he was tweeting based black conservative talking points about Candace Owens and Scott Adams.

00:01:47.000 I was saying Kanye West was cool for years, and he was my favorite for years.

00:01:52.000 And I took a lot of heat from people who don't like black people, but I said he was great.

00:01:57.000 I said he was an intelligent guy and a smart guy.

00:02:00.000 And we got to get into it because there's more to it than just Kanye West.

00:02:06.000 We're going to get into it, and not just for what he said, and not just for that specific incident, but What this means more broadly about analysis, because there's some very interesting trends that I see with somebody like Kanye West that has to be explored.

00:02:22.000 So, some interesting analysis on that.

00:02:23.000 But before we get into the news, where is it?

00:02:27.000 I left it all the way over there.

00:02:28.000 I'm going to have to go off camera.

00:02:31.000 I'm going to have to go off camera and go all the way over there.

00:02:34.000 The good thing is I'm wearing pants, but I don't know.

00:02:35.000 Is that uncouth to leave the stage and then come back?

00:02:39.000 Why don't I do this?

00:02:41.000 I'll switch back to the screen.

00:02:43.000 I'll scurry off camera.

00:02:44.000 I'll pick it up and then I'll come back.

00:02:46.000 All right.

00:02:46.000 How about we do this?

00:02:48.000 Bye.

00:03:06.000 All right, all right, all right, all right.

00:03:07.000 We're back.

00:03:08.000 We're back.

00:03:09.000 Nobody saw anything.

00:03:11.000 And we are here.

00:03:12.000 I have, before we get into the news, a very special presentation was delivered to me, or a present rather, a gift was delivered to me today by America First Superfan, Joe the Boomer.

00:03:28.000 We know him.

00:03:29.000 We love him.

00:03:30.000 And he sent me, people call me Nick the Knife, but he sent me today.

00:03:34.000 This is.

00:03:36.000 Serious business.

00:03:37.000 So, a big thank you to Joe the Boomer, the arsenal of nationalism.

00:03:42.000 You know, they said that during World War I, because of the Lend Lease Act, that we were the arsenal of democracy.

00:03:48.000 Joe the Boomer is the arsenal of nationalism, and he has provided me here with is this even a knife?

00:03:55.000 This is a sword.

00:03:57.000 He has provided us with a sword, what is this, six, eight inches of 12 inches of penetrating power here to really deliver to the heart of the globalists.

00:04:08.000 So, we appreciate.

00:04:09.000 We just had to give him a big shout out.

00:04:09.000 You, Joe.

00:04:12.000 He's been hanging around in the Discord, and we appreciate him.

00:04:14.000 So, before we get into the news, we had to get into the latest addition to the collection.

00:04:20.000 I'm going on a watch list or something, I swear.

00:04:22.000 Every time I go into the post office to my P.O. box, I come back with a knife.

00:04:29.000 I get out, I get in the car, I open it, it's a knife.

00:04:32.000 I have to be on the FBI's watch list or something.

00:04:34.000 It's the same woman. 0.82

00:04:36.000 Every time I go, it's the same woman.

00:04:38.000 Very nice.

00:04:39.000 And every time I go in, I'm opening a big knife.

00:04:41.000 So, But that's all right.

00:04:43.000 But that's all right.

00:04:45.000 If you see any reports about me doing anything, it's either MKUltra or it's government lies, and you shouldn't believe it.

00:04:45.000 That's how we like it.

00:04:54.000 But a big thank you to him.

00:04:56.000 We will use this in self defense situations to defend ourselves and our country and our property, but never in offense, never to attack.

00:05:05.000 We are anti violence on the shelf.

00:05:08.000 But a big thank you to Joe as we have that.

00:05:12.000 But we have to get into Kanye.

00:05:13.000 But we have to get into.

00:05:15.000 The number one most influential, Mr. Kanye West, which I've been a big fan of his music for a long time.

00:05:22.000 I was a big fan as a youngster, a big fan when The Life of Pablo came out.

00:05:26.000 That's when I really got into it, February 2016, when The Life of Pablo came out.

00:05:31.000 That's when I really ascended in terms of my viewership of Kanye, or my fanship of Kanye.

00:05:37.000 And for those that are not aware, for those that are not social media people, Kanye West, he deactivated his Twitter account, I think about a year and a half ago or two years ago.

00:05:49.000 And he's been off for a long time.

00:05:51.000 And if you'll recall, there was a lot of controversy towards the fall of 2016, towards the election, where after the election, he met Donald Trump at Trump Tower.

00:06:01.000 He went on this series of crazy rants at his concerts, where he said we should build the wall.

00:06:08.000 He said I liked Trump.

00:06:09.000 He said all this politically incorrect stuff that you're not supposed to say.

00:06:13.000 Some very red pilled stuff, which I know people are not really impressed with what's been said this past weekend, which we'll get into.

00:06:21.000 But two years ago, this was all over the news for a while.

00:06:24.000 During his tour, he was on stage, he was performing, and he would call off the music and he was saying things like, you know, we're not really in control.

00:06:33.000 The radio is run by people, they play the same songs and all this.

00:06:37.000 I mean, really some far out stuff.

00:06:40.000 And if you can find the unedited versions of those rants, I mean, granted, it's, you know, this is not explicitly political.

00:06:48.000 It's not the kind of thing that you'll hear on this show where we really get into the details.

00:06:52.000 But I mean, for a music concert, for a major celebrity to be saying these kinds of things, at the time it was a big deal.

00:07:00.000 He met Donald Trump and then he got hospitalized.

00:07:02.000 He got hospitalized.

00:07:04.000 They said he was having a mental breakdown.

00:07:06.000 He wasn't sleeping.

00:07:07.000 So, they, under a very specific provision of law in California, were able to put him into some kind of psychological containment against his will.

00:07:18.000 And then he came back with different hair and he was acting very different.

00:07:21.000 And a lot of weird stuff went on.

00:07:24.000 Well, so he comes back this week.

00:07:25.000 He reactivates his Twitter account and he's tweeting out some usual Kanye stuff.

00:07:31.000 It's the usual, like, I don't know, faux, like, new age kind of stuff, the Steve Jobs inspirational type stuff.

00:07:38.000 And then over the weekend, he tweets out, and this is what was really significant.

00:07:41.000 He tweets out, I like the way Candace Owens thinks. 0.99

00:07:45.000 And Candace Owens, if you know, I guess she's ostensibly a right wing person. 1.00

00:07:51.000 She's this black political activist.

00:07:54.000 She was a left wing person who doxed conservatives for a long time, and then I guess she had an epiphany. 0.97

00:07:59.000 And then she was on Infowars.

00:08:01.000 She made the round.

00:08:01.000 She was on Ruben Report.

00:08:03.000 And because she was this based black female conservative, and she was regurgitating these, I guess, middling, right leaning centrist talking points, She was suddenly the darling of the right wing.

00:08:15.000 And so she made the round.

00:08:16.000 She was on all the shows.

00:08:17.000 She was on Alex Jones.

00:08:19.000 She was on Infowars.

00:08:20.000 She was on Ruben Report.

00:08:22.000 Then she gets picked up by Turning Point USA, which is Charlie Kirk's organization. 0.98

00:08:27.000 That's the college organization where they say socialism sucks.

00:08:30.000 The only thing that matters is the GDP, capitalism rule, you know, that kind of thing. 0.97

00:08:35.000 And so she makes the round.

00:08:36.000 She's doing these videos.

00:08:37.000 She's doing these speeches and everything.

00:08:39.000 She's part of the Leadership Institute, Operation Normandy, you know, whatever it is, where they get all the speakers on campus.

00:08:47.000 And so she is not a totally right wing person.

00:08:51.000 I don't know if she's disingenuous.

00:08:52.000 I don't know if she's completely telling the truth, if she's really authentic.

00:08:56.000 I've never met her.

00:08:57.000 I don't really watch her content.

00:08:58.000 I don't bother with that kind of thing.

00:09:00.000 But regardless of that fact, she's this right wing person. 0.52

00:09:02.000 She's on Infowars.

00:09:03.000 I mean, so this is not apolitical. 0.99

00:09:07.000 She's a political figure.

00:09:09.000 And she is, I guess, in the mainstream, what the mainstream would define as right wing. 1.00

00:09:14.000 She's relatively right wing.

00:09:16.000 And so Kanye West tweets out over the weekend I like the way Candace Owens thinks.

00:09:21.000 And it's important because Candace Owens, you know, a lot of it is classical liberal nonsense.

00:09:26.000 A lot of it is not the kind of nationalist, like traditionalist conservative stuff that we talk about on this show.

00:09:32.000 It's a lot of the fluff, it's a lot of the classical liberal free speech kind of stuff. 0.54

00:09:36.000 But she does talk about how blacks are basically misled to vote for the Democrats. 0.99

00:09:41.000 I don't know how true that is, but it is noteworthy. 0.98

00:09:44.000 Because Kanye West goes from, you know, we need to be free thinkers, I'm changing the paradigm.

00:09:49.000 You know, I don't know if it's totally substantive, but it is this.

00:09:53.000 Hippie kind of stuff to something that's right wing, that's relatively right wing in the country.

00:09:59.000 I like the way Candace Owens thinks.

00:10:01.000 And then today, this is what really tipped it off.

00:10:03.000 First, I was like, eh, I don't know.

00:10:05.000 I'm a little skeptical.

00:10:06.000 Is that really a big deal? 0.99

00:10:08.000 Candace Owens is a grifter, in my opinion. 0.99

00:10:11.000 I have to say it. 1.00

00:10:12.000 I think she's a grifter. 1.00

00:10:13.000 She was a left wing person. 1.00

00:10:15.000 She doxed conservatives. 1.00

00:10:17.000 And then what?

00:10:17.000 Now suddenly she has an epiphany.

00:10:19.000 Now she's pro Trump. 1.00

00:10:20.000 I think she saw an opportunity to exploit a niche. 0.99

00:10:24.000 You know, if you're a black woman. 1.00

00:10:26.000 Social justice warrior, you're a dime a dozen. 0.98

00:10:28.000 If you're a black woman conservative, you know, like people are opening their wallets, throwing money at you. 0.99

00:10:34.000 So I think she's an opportunist.

00:10:36.000 Either way, Kanye West says, I like the way she thinks.

00:10:40.000 He is affirming a right wing message.

00:10:43.000 And I go, okay, well, you know, I don't know.

00:10:45.000 Is that a big deal?

00:10:46.000 Is that.

00:10:48.000 Who knows?

00:10:49.000 But then the big thing came today.

00:10:51.000 Today he tweets out six, seven different videos of Scott Adams.

00:10:55.000 Now, Scott Adams.

00:10:57.000 He writes the Dilbert cartoons.

00:10:59.000 He was the Dilbert guy.

00:11:00.000 If you know the Dilbert cartoons with the little guy with the glasses in the office, he drew those for a long time.

00:11:06.000 And then during the election, he blew up on Twitter because he came out as explicitly pro Trump.

00:11:11.000 And I guess he's a master of persuasion because he went out, in my opinion, with some very innovative content during the 2016 election.

00:11:20.000 And granted, there were all kinds of opportunists during the 2016 election people from the pickup artist community, people from the tech community, people from all different walks of life.

00:11:32.000 If you're Jack Posobiek from the Navy, Cernovich from the PUAs, Milo from TAC, you know, all kinds of different people that suddenly they were all of a sudden big conservatives, big right wing people, you know, just happened to be the case.

00:11:44.000 And I think a lot of them were opportunists.

00:11:47.000 Now, that said, Scott Adams, you could say he fell into that camp.

00:11:51.000 He had a book to sell, he had a big periscope, he gained a lot from it.

00:11:56.000 By the same token, I think he had a lot of interesting and innovative content.

00:12:00.000 He was pushing during the 2016 election, he was very pro Trump.

00:12:04.000 And, you know, Bill Mitchell was like the baseline for pro Trump.

00:12:07.000 But Scott Adams presented it from a much more intellectual angle.

00:12:11.000 He really analyzed the persuasion techniques that Trump was using.

00:12:14.000 And some say that that was all hokey.

00:12:17.000 Some say that was like pseudoscience because Scott Adams said, you know, when Trump says this or he says that, it's really sophisticated branding, it's really deliberate psychological techniques.

00:12:28.000 And for him, it's intuitive, but we're analyzing this because I'm an expert.

00:12:32.000 And some said, is this hokey?

00:12:34.000 Is this really true?

00:12:35.000 Either way, I thought he was adding something to the conversation that wasn't being said before.

00:12:39.000 It was very insightful.

00:12:40.000 A lot of it turned out to be true.

00:12:41.000 I think a lot of it was very prescient.

00:12:43.000 Either way, that's who Scott Adams was.

00:12:45.000 And Kanye West this afternoon or this morning starts tweeting out in a row like seven videos of a Scott Adams periscope where Scott Adams is talking about Kanye West and Candace Owens and what happened over the weekend.

00:12:59.000 And this is when I said, okay, this is serious.

00:13:02.000 This has turned into something.

00:13:03.000 And I know a lot of people are skeptical.

00:13:05.000 I know all of the Doubts.

00:13:07.000 I know what all the haters are saying.

00:13:09.000 I know what all the people with no imagination are saying.

00:13:12.000 The last men.

00:13:13.000 A lot of people see what happened this weekend where Kanye West, who has 15 million followers on Twitter, he's one of the most influential rappers of the last two decades.

00:13:25.000 One of the most successful, one of the highest grossing, one of the most iconic in fashion and music.

00:13:31.000 I mean, he's a big deal.

00:13:32.000 And you might say, oh, that's not really culture.

00:13:34.000 I don't listen to it.

00:13:35.000 I don't buy into it.

00:13:36.000 Either way, 15 million people follow you, those are followers.

00:13:41.000 You're probably getting billions of impressions.

00:13:43.000 You're probably getting billions of impressions.

00:13:46.000 People that see your tweets engage with it.

00:13:49.000 Somebody who's in Hollywood like that, or not Hollywood, but in the entertainment industry like that, you have serious pull, you have serious clout with a lot of people.

00:13:58.000 I mean, consider that the biggest people in conservative media have 2 million followers on Twitter.

00:14:04.000 They reach a few million people a night.

00:14:07.000 Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, they're in the couple million range on Twitter.

00:14:12.000 If you use that as a metric to decide how influential they are, Kanye is at 15 million.

00:14:17.000 And that's not to say, you know, that that's a huge deal or whatever.

00:14:22.000 We're legitimizing that, but that's simply to say, look at the reach.

00:14:26.000 And so you look at what he's tweeting where he's saying, Candace Owens, I like the way she thinks.

00:14:31.000 He's directing people to Candace Owens.

00:14:33.000 He's tweeting out seven videos of Scott Adams.

00:14:36.000 Now everybody knows who Scott Adams is.

00:14:38.000 Now they're talking about Scott Adams maybe on e news, e entertainment, or.

00:14:42.000 ABC, major networks now, people who had never heard of these people before, people who had never heard of Scott Adams, people, young people who don't even know what the Dilbert cartoons are.

00:14:51.000 I don't even know what the Dilbert cartoons are.

00:14:53.000 I only knew because I knew because of the election.

00:14:55.000 People who never heard of Candace Owens, never heard these kinds of talking points, now getting exposed to it.

00:15:02.000 And so you look at what happened over the weekend, and you can look at it in that way.

00:15:05.000 You can look at it in terms of the potential that this has, the ripple effect, where you have this mega celebrity, this mega icon, who's huge by any person's standards, who's tweeting out this kind of stuff about Candace Owens, about Scott Adams.

00:15:20.000 It might not be your cup of tea.

00:15:22.000 It might not be, it's not the Daily Shoah, okay?

00:15:24.000 It's not fascination.

00:15:26.000 It's not.

00:15:27.000 Tucker Carlson tonight, right?

00:15:29.000 But it is ostensibly, it's relatively right wing.

00:15:32.000 Keyword operative there is relatively.

00:15:34.000 And then there are people who say, oh, big deal.

00:15:38.000 Who cares?

00:15:39.000 He's not even saying anything.

00:15:41.000 So what?

00:15:42.000 He's saying Teslas are good cars.

00:15:45.000 He's saying we have to think for ourselves.

00:15:48.000 So what?

00:15:49.000 Candace Owens isn't even that conservative.

00:15:51.000 Scott Adams isn't even that conservative.

00:15:51.000 So what?

00:15:53.000 And so there's two schools of thought on this.

00:15:55.000 And I thought, you know, and this is what I get back to what I was saying earlier.

00:15:59.000 We're talking about Kanye West, but we're also talking about analysis.

00:16:02.000 We're also talking about what's the broader significance here?

00:16:05.000 What do we see in how people react to these ideas?

00:16:07.000 And I see this time and time again, not just with Kanye, but with Trump.

00:16:12.000 And I'm bringing out the whiteboard.

00:16:14.000 We're bringing out the whiteboard nationalism today.

00:16:17.000 And I'm going to turn up the gain on my microphone and we'll see.

00:16:20.000 Okay, so it looks like I'm still getting volume there.

00:16:24.000 And here is how people look at these situations, all right?

00:16:27.000 We're going to look at how people see these things.

00:16:29.000 Is it just as important, the events?

00:16:32.000 As how we interpret them.

00:16:34.000 It's maybe more important how we interpret events than the events themselves.

00:16:37.000 And so, what we see time and time again is we see people compare the real to the ideal.

00:16:44.000 We see Kanye West tweeting something.

00:16:46.000 Kanye West is tweeting, Candace Owens, I like the way she thinks.

00:16:49.000 Scott Adams, check this guy out.

00:16:51.000 Look at what he's writing.

00:16:52.000 He's a very smart guy, whatever.

00:16:55.000 And people see the real, and they compare it to the ideal, and they say it falls short.

00:16:59.000 It's not sufficient.

00:17:00.000 Well, yeah, okay.

00:17:01.000 He was tweeting about Candace Owens, but so what?

00:17:05.000 Candace Owens isn't even that conservative. 0.98

00:17:07.000 She's not even that conservative. 0.58

00:17:09.000 She's not ideal. 0.99

00:17:11.000 She's not the ideal conservative that we could be tweeting about.

00:17:14.000 You know, oh, Kanye West tweeted about it. 0.98

00:17:16.000 Well, what if we had a traditional mega celebrity?

00:17:20.000 What if we had a traditional white male Christian mega celebrity with 15 million followers instead tweeting about Nick Fuentes and nationalism?

00:17:28.000 This is no big deal because I've compared it to the ideal and it falls short.

00:17:32.000 That's a big problem.

00:17:33.000 We see that with Kanye West.

00:17:35.000 We see that with Donald Trump.

00:17:36.000 We see that all over the place.

00:17:38.000 Kanye West is exposing potentially billions of people.

00:17:42.000 And I'm speaking in terms of impressions.

00:17:44.000 Maybe you're getting hundreds of millions of impressions, or maybe you get a billion impressions in six months, whatever.

00:17:50.000 But you're exposing it to a mass audience, these relatively right wing people.

00:17:54.000 And you'll have people in our movement who they'll tell you about we need to retake cultural institutions, we need to create cultural capital, we need celebrities, we need movies, we need this, we need that.

00:18:06.000 Kanye West, 15 million followers, tweets out I like the way Candace Owen thinks.

00:18:10.000 Same people talking about cultural capital scrunch up their noses, but not like that.

00:18:18.000 No, it's not really good enough.

00:18:21.000 We need cultural capital, but not like that.

00:18:23.000 We need it to be better.

00:18:24.000 We need it to be ideal.

00:18:26.000 People do this with Donald Trump. 1.00

00:18:28.000 Donald Trump runs in 2016, build the wall, no more immigration, deport illegals, Africa's a shithole. 0.98

00:18:36.000 Crazy stuff we could have never fathomed just three years ago. 0.97

00:18:40.000 Could anybody imagine anybody saying anything like that?

00:18:43.000 Before Donald Trump in like 2014, could anybody imagine a presidential candidate or the president doing the kinds of things that we're seeing?

00:18:52.000 And granted, some of it's been more successful than other attempts, but we're there.

00:18:57.000 We have somebody who is leading us to the promised land, who wants a wall, who's trying for a wall.

00:19:02.000 And they say, oh, well, there's been some setbacks.

00:19:05.000 It's not ideal.

00:19:06.000 It's not totally, it's not everything we agree with.

00:19:09.000 And so it's not good enough.

00:19:11.000 You compare the real to the ideal.

00:19:11.000 This is the problem.

00:19:13.000 But instead, you have to compare the real to the alternative.

00:19:17.000 What's the alternative?

00:19:18.000 What's the alternative?

00:19:19.000 Is Kanye West tweeting about a left wing person?

00:19:22.000 Is Kanye West not tweeting about this at all?

00:19:25.000 What happens if Kanye West doesn't tweet this out?

00:19:28.000 People aren't exposed to Candace Owens. 0.81

00:19:30.000 People aren't exposed to Scott Adams.

00:19:32.000 Would that be better or worse?

00:19:34.000 Would it be better or worse if people were exposed versus if they're not exposed?

00:19:38.000 If people are thinking about a relatively right wing person versus if they're not?

00:19:43.000 In other words, don't compare it to what if Kanye West exposed us to Mike Enoch instead of Candace Owens.

00:19:49.000 Think what if he never exposed anybody to Scott Adams or Candace Owens?

00:19:53.000 What if this wasn't happening?

00:19:54.000 Are we better or worse off for it?

00:19:56.000 These are the kinds of questions we have to ask.

00:19:58.000 The same is true.

00:20:00.000 With Donald Trump.

00:20:01.000 The same is true with a lot of the things that we see you have to compare it to the alternative, not the ideal.

00:20:06.000 And this is a microcosm, but it's a small thing that I think really says a lot about people.

00:20:11.000 It says, what is your thought process?

00:20:14.000 Do you have imagination?

00:20:16.000 Do you have a winning mentality?

00:20:17.000 I think it says a lot about a person, whether they look at this as an opportunity or as, well, you know, whatever, big deal, so what?

00:20:25.000 I'm not impressed today, you know, that kind of thing.

00:20:28.000 And so that's the first level of analysis that we see all the time, where I see specifically.

00:20:33.000 On this one more than anything.

00:20:34.000 It's very polarizing, where I think it really splits the crowd into two, whether you compare to the ideal or whether you compare to the alternative.

00:20:42.000 People who get this concept say, this is a great thing.

00:20:48.000 I don't care that it's not red pilling people on mass immigration, but it is shifting the window a little bit to the right.

00:20:55.000 It is changing the conversation.

00:20:57.000 It's a curveball to the left wing, and that's a good thing.

00:21:00.000 Versus people who say, big deal, so what?

00:21:03.000 I'm just not even impressed.

00:21:05.000 Yeah, I'm so right wing, I'm not even impressed by this.

00:21:07.000 It really has polarized these two camps of people.

00:21:11.000 The other level of analysis here is about the particular versus the contextual.

00:21:17.000 And here's another thing.

00:21:18.000 And I grapple with how to phrase this, whether it's the particular versus the general, or the particular versus the potential, or whatever.

00:21:27.000 But the gist of it is this people look at this and they say, Kanye West tweeting.

00:21:32.000 Yes, so what?

00:21:33.000 People could even look at the previous example and say, Okay, well, you're saying, is it better or worse if Kanye West tweeted?

00:21:40.000 I'm saying it's not even that big of a deal.

00:21:42.000 So what?

00:21:43.000 So what?

00:21:44.000 Kanye West tweeted something.

00:21:46.000 Is the world going to stop today because Kanye West tweeted something?

00:21:50.000 Oh, yeah, Kanye West tweeted to look at Candace Owens.

00:21:53.000 I'm so impressed.

00:21:54.000 That's really going to change something.

00:21:56.000 These are people that look at the particular.

00:21:58.000 They zoom in on the exact matter at hand.

00:22:02.000 They zoom in and they say, okay, Kanye West tweeted these words.

00:22:07.000 Kanye tweeted words, big deal.

00:22:09.000 They zoom in, they can't see the forest for the trees.

00:22:12.000 The other way, the proper way to look at it, the political way to look at it, is the contextual, is looking at the potential.

00:22:18.000 You have a major, major, major celebrity in unprecedented fashion.

00:22:24.000 I mean, this is truly unprecedented.

00:22:26.000 When have you seen a mainstream mega celebrity like this tweet out an explicit affirmation of relatively a fringe right wing personality like Candace Owens or Scott Adams?

00:22:39.000 Never.

00:22:40.000 It's never happened.

00:22:42.000 It has simply never happened.

00:22:44.000 Donald Trump, and he ran for president, and that's, you know, I think that's kind of the black swan.

00:22:48.000 This kind of thing has never happened.

00:22:50.000 Sure, you have Vince Vaughn, who's, you know, he shows up to the Young Americans for Liberty conference every blue moon, right?

00:22:57.000 That's our celebrity.

00:22:59.000 You got the one guy who appears in all the Christian movies.

00:23:02.000 We got Dr. Phil.

00:23:03.000 I mean, so this is the class of Republican celebrities.

00:23:08.000 This is how we usually deal with.

00:23:10.000 Who is at the RNC?

00:23:11.000 Duck Dynasty.

00:23:12.000 Oh, yeah, real winners.

00:23:14.000 At the DNC, you got Katy Perry.

00:23:16.000 You got Elizabeth, what's her name, from Elizabeth Banks.

00:23:21.000 You got major, major celebrities with hundreds of millions of followers.

00:23:25.000 Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, for the first time, we have somebody who's mainstream, who probably everybody has heard of, probably everybody's heard one of his songs, who's on the radio, who's on the VMAs, giving speeches.

00:23:37.000 Huge.

00:23:38.000 And he's out there tweeting.

00:23:39.000 And so you have somebody who will look at the particular and say, this goofy celebrity tweeted words.

00:23:45.000 Oh, yeah, you're impressed by that? 1.00

00:23:47.000 What are you, an idiot? 1.00

00:23:48.000 Versus people who say, think of it in context. 1.00

00:23:52.000 Think of the potential here.

00:23:53.000 Don't look at the present value.

00:23:54.000 Don't look at the particular.

00:23:56.000 Look at the bigger picture here.

00:23:59.000 What happened was not, you know, at a rudimentary level, you have Kanye West tweeting words, but on a broader level, you have a big celebrity affirming a fringe right wing internet personality.

00:24:09.000 This is not only an embrace of the right wing, but an embrace of the internet right wing, an embrace of the subversive, dissident fringe right wing, where he's not saying Tucker Carlson, I like the way he thinks.

00:24:23.000 He's not saying maybe Sean Hannity has some good points or Rush Limbaugh has some good points.

00:24:28.000 He's saying Scott Adams.

00:24:30.000 Has anybody who watches Fox News ever heard of Scott Adams or Candace Owens?

00:24:34.000 I mean, maybe, because Candace Owens is connected to Turning Point, and that's a little bit more traditional.

00:24:39.000 But either way, I mean, these are two people brought up on the internet who appear on Infowars.

00:24:43.000 Who had ever heard of Infowars 20 years ago when it was just some small operation for conspiracy theorists?

00:24:50.000 So this is a major, this is a big deal.

00:24:53.000 And this is one of those events that will really separate the.

00:24:57.000 The good people from the not so good people.

00:24:59.000 This will really tell you.

00:25:00.000 And I tweeted this out today.

00:25:02.000 I said, it's not about what Kanye said.

00:25:04.000 It's that Kanye has said something like this.

00:25:07.000 And right away, people are saying, yeah, but he didn't even say anything that important.

00:25:10.000 Did you read the tweet?

00:25:11.000 I mean, think about what it said very carefully.

00:25:13.000 It's not about what he said, it's not about the content, the substance.

00:25:18.000 It's that he tweeted something like this.

00:25:21.000 And people say, yeah, well, the substance wasn't even that good.

00:25:23.000 Okay, so you missed it.

00:25:25.000 And then I followed up and I said, this is really, it tells a lot about a person, what you think about this.

00:25:30.000 And people say, no, it actually doesn't.

00:25:32.000 The real difference here, we could talk about the different levels of analysis.

00:25:36.000 This is important.

00:25:37.000 I mean, it really is.

00:25:39.000 At the end of the day, this is why some people agreed with the serious strikes and some people didn't.

00:25:45.000 This is why some people agreed with the DACA deal that was trying to be made and why some people didn't.

00:25:50.000 This is the difference between never Trumpers and people who don't vote and people who voted for Donald Trump.

00:25:55.000 But on a higher level, this is about, I guess, imagination.

00:26:02.000 It's about who you really want to be.

00:26:04.000 It's about.

00:26:05.000 Are you a last man?

00:26:06.000 Do you boil everything down?

00:26:07.000 Do you make everything small?

00:26:09.000 Do you make everything small because you're small and say, oh, yeah, I'm unimpressed.

00:26:15.000 I work and I eat and I sleep and I don't believe in anything.

00:26:15.000 I'm unimpressed.

00:26:19.000 I don't have dreams.

00:26:20.000 I don't have an imagination.

00:26:22.000 I don't believe in any virtues.

00:26:24.000 I'm too cynical.

00:26:26.000 I'm too cynical.

00:26:27.000 I've seen it all before.

00:26:28.000 I don't believe in Donald Trump.

00:26:30.000 I don't believe in a fantastic, mythological figure, billionaire, literally descended from a gold tower on a gold elevator.

00:26:39.000 To save the country.

00:26:40.000 Brash, he fights back.

00:26:41.000 He's heroic.

00:26:43.000 I don't believe it, it's just a myth.

00:26:45.000 He was always in it for himself, he was always a used car salesman.

00:26:49.000 His kids are Jewish.

00:26:50.000 He's just like the rest of us. 1.00

00:26:52.000 I'm so cynical, I've seen it all before.

00:26:54.000 Are you the last man?

00:26:55.000 Or do you have the courage?

00:26:55.000 Are you that person?

00:26:58.000 I don't know, the conviction, the moral?

00:27:00.000 I don't know what it would be.

00:27:01.000 Do you have the spirit to believe, to believe that something can happen, that things can change, that there are great men?

00:27:09.000 Or do you, maybe you're not naive enough for that, maybe you think that's naive, but do you recognize the utility in belief?

00:27:16.000 Do you recognize that maybe myths aren't real?

00:27:19.000 But maybe it matters that people think they're real.

00:27:22.000 Maybe it does us good to try to believe, to strive for that.

00:27:25.000 I think that's where we enter into it.

00:27:28.000 And I would take people who believe, I would take people who think there's utility in believing over people who say, yeah, you know, it's just not good enough.

00:27:34.000 I think you need both, maybe.

00:27:36.000 Maybe you need both to get a clear picture, to really parse out what's true and what's not.

00:27:40.000 But I think at the end of the day, that's what it's about.

00:27:42.000 Because I see Kanye, I see what's happening here, and it feels bigger to me.

00:27:49.000 There's a feeling about it.

00:27:50.000 It's not so much a logical thing where, yeah, okay, it's.

00:27:53.000 Is Kanye saying anything really groundbreaking?

00:27:56.000 He's saying, free your mind.

00:27:57.000 Is that truly stunning?

00:27:59.000 But I think if we could suspend our disbelief for a moment and engage with it and play with it and see, okay, what's happening here?

00:28:06.000 Is there potential here?

00:28:07.000 Is there a bigger idea here?

00:28:08.000 Then I think you start to see what's going on.

00:28:11.000 And it's funny enough, too, about Kanye.

00:28:15.000 It's interesting because Kanye is a guy who, like him or not, whether you think he's that intelligent or not, he's a very, people have called him a very arrogant guy.

00:28:23.000 People say, He's very arrogant. 0.92

00:28:25.000 He's very cocky. 0.98

00:28:26.000 He's headstrong. 0.99

00:28:27.000 And he's not even that intelligent. 1.00

00:28:29.000 You know, they say he's a jerk. 1.00

00:28:31.000 And I think what this tells us about the world we live in today is you kind of almost have to be a jerk. 1.00

00:28:37.000 You kind of almost have to be arrogant. 0.98

00:28:39.000 And think about it in this way if you're a celebrity and everybody's telling you one thing, everybody surrounds you, everybody on television, everybody who you know personally is all going in one direction. 0.99

00:28:50.000 They're all saying, you know, Donald Trump sucks. 0.99

00:28:52.000 We don't like Donald Trump. 1.00

00:28:53.000 Or, you know, we have to be left wing.

00:28:54.000 We have to do things this way.

00:28:56.000 You have to be a pretty arrogant guy to say, Everyone's wrong.

00:28:58.000 I'm right. 0.80

00:29:00.000 Or you have to be what people would call arrogant in this day and age. 0.92

00:29:03.000 You'd have to be what people would call cocky or arrogant or pretentious to say, you know what? 0.86

00:29:09.000 Everybody's wrong. 0.81

00:29:10.000 I'm not going to go along to get along.

00:29:12.000 I'm right.

00:29:13.000 And I have faith in my convictions.

00:29:16.000 And I think that's very telling because people say the same thing about Donald Trump, right?

00:29:21.000 People say the same thing. 1.00

00:29:22.000 Oh, he's an arrogant. 1.00

00:29:23.000 He's a jerk. 1.00

00:29:24.000 You know, I hear countless conversations at parties with less political people where they say, you know, I agree with him. 1.00

00:29:29.000 But Oh, he's a real arrogant jerk. 1.00

00:29:31.000 I hear this a lot. 1.00

00:29:33.000 You kind of almost have to be.

00:29:34.000 People say the same thing about many people in the diss and right.

00:29:37.000 People say the same thing about me.

00:29:39.000 And I think we're getting to a point in the country where you almost have to be that way.

00:29:44.000 It's sad to say.

00:29:45.000 You really almost have to get that way because otherwise, if you're just focusing on, or you rely rather, on what other people are saying or doing, if you have such a low opinion of yourself, and maybe that's how far gone we are.

00:29:58.000 Maybe it's not even you have to be arrogant, but maybe we only perceive it as arrogant because we've been browbeaten, we've been so.

00:30:04.000 Deconstructed that for anybody to say, I trust my own judgment as opposed to the media, as opposed to my friends, as opposed to anybody else, then they say, Look at that guy.

00:30:13.000 That guy thinks he's great.

00:30:16.000 That guy thinks he's good.

00:30:17.000 We have to bring him down.

00:30:18.000 So I think there is something going on here.

00:30:21.000 There's definitely a transformation occurring.

00:30:24.000 This is not normal.

00:30:26.000 Nothing of what we've seen in the last three years is normal.

00:30:29.000 And I guess that's the conclusion here on the Kanye West thing.

00:30:31.000 It's a little bit more ethereal today, it's a little bit more abstract.

00:30:36.000 You know, serious strikes is very.

00:30:38.000 Missiles and analysis and this and that.

00:30:41.000 But with the Kanye West thing, we're seeing something that's a little bit more out there.

00:30:45.000 But I do think something is happening in the country because this is not a normal occurrence that you get somebody like Kanye saying things like this.

00:30:53.000 That's not normal.

00:30:55.000 Donald Trump being the president, that's not normal.

00:30:58.000 The things we're seeing in the country are transformative.

00:31:01.000 They really are.

00:31:02.000 And now is the time to exploit this.

00:31:05.000 This is a great opportunity for revisionists.

00:31:09.000 I mean, what you see happening right now is this old order.

00:31:12.000 I don't know how long you want to go back, but certainly we see institutions and trends and political actors.

00:31:19.000 That have been around for 25, 50, 100 years, they're all not certain anymore.

00:31:25.000 It's all in flux right now.

00:31:26.000 Everything's kind of up in the air.

00:31:28.000 And now is the opportunity, I think, to exploit that and we can really seize the advantage here.

00:31:33.000 So the lesson today is don't turn your nose up at Kanye West.

00:31:36.000 Don't turn your nose up at Donald Trump.

00:31:38.000 You have to have a little bit of a bigger idea to understand what's going on.

00:31:43.000 And it looks like we are getting a message from our producer.

00:31:46.000 We got to turn our volume up.

00:31:49.000 Are we good now?

00:31:50.000 Are we great?

00:31:51.000 Love the audio issues. 0.97

00:31:55.000 Turn your friggin' computer up, for Christ's sake. 0.96

00:31:58.000 And so, but that's Kanye West. 0.97

00:32:00.000 We'll see what the other news of the day we wanted to get to.

00:32:03.000 To get to some real news.

00:32:04.000 I know some people are not interested in Kanye.

00:32:07.000 Some people are.

00:32:08.000 Like, if you don't get it, you just don't get it.

00:32:11.000 A lot of people say, ah, enough with the Kanye talk. 1.00

00:32:14.000 Ah, no, Kanye's an idiot. 1.00

00:32:16.000 Kanye's an idiot. 1.00

00:32:18.000 I don't get what you see. 1.00

00:32:19.000 And it's like, okay, screw you. 0.99

00:32:22.000 You don't have the imagination, you don't have. 0.99

00:32:26.000 I don't even know what you would call it.

00:32:28.000 You're not thinking four dimensionally.

00:32:30.000 That's what it comes down to, right?

00:32:31.000 You're not thinking five dimensionally.

00:32:34.000 You have to almost have a creative side.

00:32:36.000 You have to have a different brain, I think.

00:32:38.000 People who are too grounded, I think they lose that and they can't really see what's going on.

00:32:44.000 But that's Kanye.

00:32:45.000 The other big development we had here today, and this goes back to Syria a little bit.

00:32:50.000 This is not a huge thing, but it's something that happened.

00:32:53.000 Senator Rand Paul today tweeted that he would vote to confirm Mike.

00:32:58.000 Pompeo as Secretary of State.

00:33:00.000 They're trying really hard to whip the votes to get a confirmation on Pompeo, at least before the North Korea summit.

00:33:00.000 And they're trying.

00:33:08.000 If you recall, Rex Tillerson was ousted from the State Department, I believe it was last month, right?

00:33:14.000 I believe it was March.

00:33:16.000 And Mike Pompeo, the former head of the CIA, he was tapped to take his place.

00:33:20.000 He's been in these brutal confirmation hearings.

00:33:23.000 It's been in flux.

00:33:24.000 He's not the permanent Secretary of State yet.

00:33:27.000 And so they're awaiting the Confirmation vote.

00:33:29.000 They're trying to get all the Republicans, obviously, because they have a 51 vote majority, which is the bare minimum.

00:33:35.000 And John McCain is out, so technically, or is it with John McCain or without John McCain?

00:33:39.000 Either way, they have a very slim majority.

00:33:41.000 And so Rand Paul tweeted today that he will vote to confirm Pompeo, and that's big because originally Rand Paul said he wasn't going to do it.

00:33:49.000 And that's tough because Republicans need literally every vote to get Pompeo confirmed.

00:33:54.000 And he tweeted out that he would confirm Pompeo because President Trump made explicit guarantees to him.

00:34:00.000 That President Trump thought the Iraq war was a mistake, that regime change has destabilized the Middle East, and that we have to get out of Afghanistan.

00:34:09.000 And he said, Rand Paul said, that Donald Trump gave him a guarantee that he believes that and that Mike Pompeo also believes that.

00:34:17.000 And so now Rand Paul will vote for him.

00:34:19.000 And I think this tells us something very crucial here.

00:34:22.000 Either they're lying, you know, either Donald Trump is just a liar, which would not be a very smart move, because we'll either have, you know, no majority in the Senate or a very slim majority in the Senate.

00:34:33.000 Going forward and after the midterm.

00:34:35.000 So if you're lying to Rand Paul, say goodbye to a vote.

00:34:39.000 You'll never get back again.

00:34:40.000 That's number one.

00:34:41.000 But you either believe that he's just totally lying, it doesn't make any sense, or you believe something else, which I think is very telling.

00:34:48.000 We saw the serious strikes two weeks ago, and people said this is either regime change or war, or the deep state has taken over, or it's five dimensional chess.

00:34:59.000 People say, I'd like to believe it's five dimensional chess.

00:35:02.000 I'd like to think there's a bigger strategy here.

00:35:04.000 I'd like to think that Trump still believes that regime change is wrong, still believes that the Iraq war was a mistake, still believes this kind of stuff.

00:35:14.000 But it's just doing strategy.

00:35:15.000 We'd like to believe that, but it's far more likely the deep state owns him.

00:35:19.000 He's elected John Bolton to take over or appointed John Bolton to take over as national security chief.

00:35:25.000 He's nominated Mike Pompeo, who's basically a neocon, to take over the State Department.

00:35:31.000 So we'd like to believe it's five dimensional chess, but it's probably Warhawks.

00:35:35.000 And as we've seen since the serious strikes, we've seen more and more things come out, whether it was the fact that the strike was cleared with the Russians, the fact that there were no casualties. 0.79

00:35:45.000 The fact that Donald Trump has been talking behind the scenes to see if we could replace the American boots on the ground with an Arab coalition. 0.80

00:35:52.000 We hear from Nikki Haley in the White House that we want to get out as soon as possible.

00:35:58.000 We hear from Nikki Haley that the point of the strike was not to kill anybody or to force regime change, but to deter the use of weapons of mass destruction.

00:36:06.000 And then we hear all these weeks later, after we're so concerned about Pompeo, we're so concerned about Bolton, we hear weeks later oh, and actually, Donald Trump still believes everything he believed.

00:36:18.000 15 years ago, imagine that.

00:36:19.000 You know, I was over here during the Syria strikes.

00:36:21.000 I was over here during the Syria strikes last year, during the Iran protests in December, saying, Look, when we look at foreign policy decisions and we look at things that Trump is doing overseas where we might not understand it initially, maybe there's a strike, maybe he gives support to the rebels in Iran, and people say, Oh, he's a neocon now before anything is said and done.

00:36:41.000 You look at the way Trump has operated for his whole life.

00:36:44.000 You look at his record, and this is what I said.

00:36:46.000 You look at his record, and he was against everything, he was against the Iraq war.

00:36:49.000 He was against intervention in Syria.

00:36:51.000 He was against intervention in Afghanistan.

00:36:54.000 I mean, down the list.

00:36:56.000 Non interventionist for his whole life.

00:36:58.000 And I said, how can you say that this guy had these convictions his whole life, you know, when he was a private citizen and when he was campaigning and when he was in government?

00:37:07.000 And then what, he turns on a dime?

00:37:09.000 John Bolton whispers in his ears and suddenly, oh, I changed my mind.

00:37:12.000 I believe one thing for 40 years.

00:37:14.000 Now I changed my mind.

00:37:15.000 And this just gets back to that point.

00:37:17.000 And I think this is a very big white pill.

00:37:19.000 It's a subtle one.

00:37:20.000 That people, I think, might have missed.

00:37:22.000 People don't want to read too much into it.

00:37:24.000 But I think this is a big white pill here because I think that Trump is, at the end of the day, he's got to be a good businessman.

00:37:30.000 I don't think he's somebody who would explicitly lie to Rand Paul and say, Yeah, I'm going to give you these guarantees, but F you, I don't really believe it.

00:37:39.000 So if we're assuming, I think pretty reasonably, that he's telling the truth here, that he's making somewhat of a viable guarantee here, then it just goes to show that Donald Trump still understands the score here. 0.66

00:37:50.000 He still has the score in the Middle East that regime change is bad, Iraq war was a mistake. 0.89

00:37:55.000 Got to get out of Afghanistan.

00:37:57.000 And he guaranteed that's Rand Paul.

00:37:59.000 And he said that Mike Pompeo agrees with that. 0.62

00:38:01.000 And I think just every day it's getting harder and harder for us to believe that the black pill side of things is true. 0.93

00:38:09.000 Every day that we see new developments and new things, you require more assumptions to shore up the black pill idea. 0.99

00:38:16.000 I mean, Occam's Razor says that whichever conclusion, whichever explanation of events requires the least amount of assumptions, that's probably the true one.

00:38:26.000 Well, we start out.

00:38:27.000 All having to make a lot of assumptions when a strike happens or when we don't have a long record.

00:38:32.000 But as we see more statements and more developments and more consequences, we see it requires a lot more assumptions to shore up the idea that Trump has turned on us.

00:38:40.000 We have to assume Trump changed his mind totally irrationally.

00:38:45.000 We have to assume that Trump was going to go to war with Assad, but maybe that didn't work out.

00:38:50.000 Maybe he was trying to kill people, but that didn't work out.

00:38:53.000 Or maybe he wasn't, but he just didn't really understand that that wouldn't work.

00:38:58.000 He was trying to do regime change, or maybe he was trying to do a five dimensional thing, but he didn't understand that that just wasn't going to work.

00:39:05.000 We have to understand that he's lying about the Arab force. 0.51

00:39:08.000 We have to understand he's lying about just pursuing regime change, or rather, just pursuing deterrence of weapons of mass destruction.

00:39:15.000 We have to assume he's lying to Rand Paul and Mike Pompeo's lying to Rand Paul.

00:39:19.000 We have to assume that the whole North Korean negotiations is a farce.

00:39:22.000 He doesn't really intend to follow through with it because he's a neocon.

00:39:25.000 And so I think that as we progress here, weeks and months and years in the Trump administration, we have to look back at things that people, assumptions that people are operating under about the administration because it really informs how we look at ongoing events.

00:39:42.000 If you saw the serious strikes two weeks ago and you say, yeah, uh, I've given up on Trump.

00:39:47.000 He's bad now.

00:39:49.000 And as the events unfold, as the days go by, you say, yeah, I don't like Trump.

00:39:54.000 I don't like Trump.

00:39:55.000 It's important that we go back and we look at these different examples, whether it was the strikes, whether it was the protests, whether it was DACA or whatever.

00:40:02.000 And we say, were those assumptions true?

00:40:05.000 Was your premise, your perception of the president, correct?

00:40:10.000 Has that borne out?

00:40:12.000 Because so often I see people who will say they will base predictions about the future based on false predictions from the past.

00:40:20.000 You know, I'll give you an example.

00:40:22.000 We'll see Trump fail on DACA or on Omnibus.

00:40:25.000 I think that was a legitimate setback.

00:40:28.000 People say, look at the setback on the Omnibus and look at what we've gotten from the Trump administration.

00:40:33.000 He gives us his bad Omnibus bill and he did the serious strikes and he's a neocon on foreign policy.

00:40:39.000 He's failed on this and he's failed on that.

00:40:41.000 And people have taken their premises from before without critically thinking about them in light of new evidence, in light of new, whatever, developments.

00:40:52.000 And they still use them as though they were fact.

00:40:54.000 When we go back and we say, actually, is it true that he was a neocon?

00:40:57.000 Is it true?

00:40:58.000 Can we just accept the idea that he's been a neocon, that he's been bad on foreign policy?

00:41:02.000 I think you look at it weeks and weeks out, it's probably not so much true.

00:41:05.000 And so here's another example, another data point that it's probably no good.

00:41:10.000 And we say that with North Korea as well.

00:41:11.000 A lot of big developments there, where we heard last week that Kim Jong un is ready to give up his nuclear arsenal, that he's ready to disable one of the nuclear sites, he's going to stop all nuclear and missile tests.

00:41:24.000 He's willing to give in to a deal without forcing the United States to remove 30,000 troops from South Korea. 0.78

00:41:29.000 So it's all looking very good.

00:41:31.000 We're all keeping the faith here.

00:41:32.000 Very white pilled.

00:41:34.000 And it's funny how, you know, America First goes on.

00:41:37.000 America First is every night.

00:41:39.000 It's always there.

00:41:40.000 We're always on top of things. 0.99

00:41:42.000 And, you know, whenever there's a big incident, whenever there's a big scandal, black pillars are, oh my gosh, Nick did this, Nick did that. 1.00

00:41:49.000 Nick was wrong, Nick's sad, Nick, whatever. 1.00

00:41:51.000 And so it's like America First is going on.

00:41:53.000 Then you see the black pill go up.

00:41:55.000 And then they go, shhh, then they become very quiet.

00:41:58.000 They're very vocal for two nights, and then they're very quiet.

00:42:02.000 And then we don't hear from them so much anymore.

00:42:04.000 You know, Nick goes on covering things, white pilled as ever, day by day, week by week, and actually things every day they look better and better, vindicated over and over.

00:42:13.000 I mean, saying the same stuff, but getting vindicated.

00:42:16.000 Then the black pillars remain very quiet.

00:42:18.000 They remain very under the radar, not saying so much until the next strike, and then they come back, and then it's Nick is a shill, Nick is a. 0.96

00:42:26.000 And so, it's just worth pointing out. 0.99

00:42:28.000 That's the news of the day.

00:42:29.000 We got Kanye.

00:42:30.000 We got Rand Paul.

00:42:32.000 Kind of a slow day, you know, thankfully, for once.

00:42:35.000 It's fun, you know, granted.

00:42:36.000 For me, it's fun when something happens because you get to dissect and it's big news, but it is good.

00:42:44.000 You kind of want some degree of regularity.

00:42:46.000 You want some degree.

00:42:47.000 You want normalcy.

00:42:48.000 You want to be mellow.

00:42:49.000 You want it.

00:42:50.000 You know, it's fun when World War III is about to pop off, but it's also okay when it's not about to, when we're not about to go to war with Russia.

00:42:57.000 So that's your news for today. 0.60

00:42:58.000 We're going to jump into your Super Chats and your Stream Labs.

00:43:01.000 We got to get a couple from Joe as well.

00:43:04.000 We had some from Joe that we never read from a few days ago.

00:43:08.000 So we will get to those.

00:43:09.000 We'll tackle our super chats first here.

00:43:12.000 And what do we got?

00:43:13.000 We've got, let's see, Ian Weber.

00:43:16.000 Hey, Nick, what's the intro song called?

00:43:18.000 It sounds like Glenn Miller's work.

00:43:21.000 It's actually by, it's called In Your Arms, and it's by that, what's the guy's name?

00:43:27.000 I forget.

00:43:28.000 But there's a guy who makes all the royalty free music.

00:43:33.000 He makes all the royalty free music, like if you've ever heard royalty free music in a YouTube video and like in a home video, whatever.

00:43:40.000 It's this guy.

00:43:41.000 And I know this because I took a filmmaking class in eighth grade.

00:43:44.000 So I'm an expert.

00:43:45.000 And that was always the go to, this one guy.

00:43:47.000 And it escapes me right now.

00:43:49.000 But it's In Your Arms by that guy.

00:43:50.000 It does have a Glenn Miller feel.

00:43:52.000 I was a big, I am a big Glenn Miller fan.

00:43:55.000 Always have been.

00:43:56.000 I love the big band sound.

00:43:58.000 At the risk of sounding very LARP y, I've always liked the big band sound.

00:44:03.000 Big Louis Prima fan, big Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, big fan.

00:44:08.000 They just don't make it like they used to.

00:44:10.000 You know, I mean, it was very exciting.

00:44:12.000 And there's a great station.

00:44:14.000 If you're in Chicago, they have COD, the College of DuPage.

00:44:14.000 In Chicago.

00:44:18.000 They have a jazz station that broadcasts across the area.

00:44:23.000 And I'm always listening to that.

00:44:24.000 Very good stuff.

00:44:26.000 Frederick White's just got a very classic.

00:44:27.000 It's timeless to me.

00:44:29.000 People say it sounds dated, it's LARPy.

00:44:30.000 It's timeless to me.

00:44:31.000 Can't beat it.

00:44:33.000 Frederick White says Luke Ford interviewed a guy named Rodney yesterday Catholic, six kids, and an ethno nationalist.

00:44:40.000 I would highly recommend listening to this.

00:44:42.000 Okay.

00:44:45.000 I just don't like when people say ethno nationalist.

00:44:48.000 Ethno, to me, sounds LARPy.

00:44:50.000 I know that sounds irrational, but Frederick White, to me, sounds very LARPy. 0.66

00:44:55.000 I like ethnic nationalist or just nationalist.

00:44:58.000 That's the thing.

00:44:59.000 People will say, I am a white nationalist.

00:45:01.000 I am an ethnic nationalist.

00:45:03.000 And I think ethnic nationalism, to some degree, makes sense when you're trying to distinguish from civic nationalism.

00:45:10.000 But even still, Sam Huntington talks about this.

00:45:14.000 Civic nationalism and ethnic nationalism is kind of a false dichotomy to begin with.

00:45:19.000 And anyway, nationalism is almost implicitly ethnic nationalist.

00:45:24.000 It's almost redundant to say ethnic nationalism.

00:45:28.000 To be a nationalist means to recognize the primacy of the nation.

00:45:32.000 And the nation has a genetic component to it, a biological or a genetic component to it.

00:45:39.000 I mean, that's the definition of a nation classically defined.

00:45:42.000 So to say that you're an ethnic nationalist, it's something that will cost you in terms of.

00:45:49.000 Like the media will call you that, and it's a bad thing in terms of people get turned off by that.

00:45:55.000 When you could just say nationalist, and more people buy into it, and it means the same thing.

00:45:59.000 That's why I go by nationalist.

00:46:00.000 It's almost implicit.

00:46:02.000 I'm a white nationalist.

00:46:03.000 Well, that's almost redundant in America.

00:46:05.000 It's almost redundant in Europe.

00:46:07.000 I'm a German nationalist. 0.77

00:46:08.000 Well, what color are Germans?

00:46:10.000 What race are Germans? 0.86

00:46:12.000 Same is true of America. 0.68

00:46:13.000 America, the normative description of an American is a European Christian. 0.82

00:46:18.000 You have exceptions. 0.89

00:46:19.000 You have Chinese who built the railroads. 1.00

00:46:21.000 You've got blacks who are residual from slavery. 0.72

00:46:24.000 You've got Mexicans from Texas and from the Mexican session.

00:46:29.000 And these people have been incorporated into the country since the manifest destiny and the founding.

00:46:35.000 But we're talking about normative. 0.81

00:46:37.000 It's a white person.

00:46:38.000 So I think it's almost redundant. 0.54

00:46:41.000 Asser says, Love your work.

00:46:43.000 Thank you, my guy.

00:46:43.000 Appreciate you.

00:46:45.000 Hi, I'm Burb says, Short sword nationalism. 0.97

00:46:48.000 I like it. 0.97

00:46:49.000 I love the sword, right?

00:46:51.000 I mean, this is, I feel like, I mean, this is scary.

00:46:55.000 This is almost bad optics, right?

00:46:57.000 You look like ISIS with this, you know?

00:47:01.000 Raise your knives.

00:47:02.000 I don't, to call this a knife, you know, it's almost comical.

00:47:02.000 This is not enough.

00:47:06.000 Imagine somebody like cutting a sandwich with this.

00:47:08.000 Imagine somebody.

00:47:10.000 Cutting an apple at this.

00:47:11.000 I'm just having my apple.

00:47:13.000 I'm on break at work cutting up my apple or cutting up a banana for my cereal.

00:47:19.000 I'm here cutting my steak with my knife.

00:47:21.000 I guess it's like a Bowie knife.

00:47:23.000 I guess it's like a different function, but it's just funny.

00:47:27.000 Matt, the same people who talk about shifting the Overton window are upset that it's shifting, right?

00:47:33.000 They don't want to shift, they want to teleport.

00:47:36.000 And the Overton window, I will never not counter signal it. 1.00

00:47:41.000 It's a stupid abstraction. 1.00

00:47:43.000 It does not exist. 0.99

00:47:45.000 This is not a useful model to describe how popular opinion shifts.

00:47:53.000 When we talk about the Overton window, at the end of the day, we're talking about concepts that are abstract and we use analogies like a window.

00:48:02.000 What we're talking about is modeling.

00:48:03.000 We're saying the way that a window can shift along a spectrum, this models the behavior of public opinion as it pertains to politics.

00:48:14.000 This is not that model.

00:48:16.000 Is not legitimate because that is not how public opinion works.

00:48:20.000 Public opinion does not operate along a clearly defined linear spectrum and it's only within these bounds.

00:48:27.000 It's just so, and that's why I say it's useless.

00:48:29.000 I don't say it's useless because I'm like a contrarian or anything like that.

00:48:32.000 I say it because it's not, that is not a helpful model to illustrate a real process that's happening.

00:48:39.000 I mean, you've seen in history, there's no shifting.

00:48:42.000 It's not like, oh, it gradually went this way.

00:48:44.000 Think of the French Revolution in 1789.

00:48:50.000 Was the Overton window shifting gradually back and forth for a long time?

00:48:56.000 And then one day, finally, it shifted into open violence against the government.

00:49:01.000 You know, gradually, slowly but surely, the Overton window was shifting.

00:49:06.000 And then finally, violence against the government became within the Overton window.

00:49:12.000 No.

00:49:12.000 And then what?

00:49:13.000 Between 1789 and the Concert of Europe, between 1814, the Overton window was shifting between Directory and National Assembly and Napoleon?

00:49:23.000 No!

00:49:24.000 And then in Russia, in Tsarist Russia, you know, the Overton window.

00:49:27.000 Maybe that's a better example because, you know, there actually were insurrections.

00:49:31.000 But even then, by the time you had a revolution, there were unionists, there were Mensheviks, Bolsheviks, there was the army.

00:49:37.000 I mean, so it just doesn't work like that.

00:49:41.000 For anybody to say that public opinion can be accurately modeled by a window sliding along a linear spectrum, it doesn't happen.

00:49:51.000 So, but nobody's smart enough to say that.

00:49:54.000 Nobody's really intelligent.

00:49:56.000 Nobody has a 250 IQ.

00:49:57.000 So, they just say it.

00:49:59.000 What they mean is that they're shifting public opinion.

00:50:03.000 That happens.

00:50:04.000 It doesn't happen along this clear, everybody knows it apparently, this clearly defined left right spectrum.

00:50:09.000 We can't even agree on a spectrum.

00:50:11.000 What do you mean there's a window?

00:50:13.000 Some people, some genius thinks it's a donut.

00:50:16.000 Some genius who drew up on Twitter, some real intellectual, drew the political donut.

00:50:21.000 Not a horseshoe, a donut.

00:50:23.000 It's not a spectrum, it's not a horseshoe, it's a donut.

00:50:27.000 Give me a break.

00:50:29.000 Anyway.

00:50:29.000 But yeah, I mean, and that too, though, it's so true.

00:50:32.000 Anybody who says we'd like to gradually shift public opinion, we'd like to incrementally shift public opinion, and then they're frustrated when it hasn't jumped 100 miles an hour in the direction they like. 0.88

00:50:44.000 Kanye West isn't retweeting Mike Enoch, and that's not good enough for me.

00:50:48.000 I'm going to countersignal it.

00:50:50.000 It's all or nothing.

00:50:51.000 What kind of a movement are we going to have if it's only going to be this inaccessible tiny part?

00:50:57.000 We can't appeal to anybody, we can't even try, and we won't work with anybody else, but we expect them all to meet us over here.

00:51:03.000 Not going to happen.

00:51:05.000 Maybe if we just post on Gab.

00:51:06.000 Maybe if we just post Nazi rhetoric on Gab.

00:51:10.000 Hello, fellow Gabians. 0.99

00:51:12.000 Hello, fellow Fashi Gabians. 1.00

00:51:14.000 I'm a bad Goyan. 1.00

00:51:15.000 You know, I mean, what?

00:51:17.000 Yeah, you're going to change the country.

00:51:20.000 Anyhow, we have to rethink the way we think about politics.

00:51:24.000 It's practical. 0.93

00:51:26.000 Joe the Croat says, Is Streamlabs okay?

00:51:28.000 It's not letting me send a check Discord DM. 0.99

00:51:31.000 Yeah, I actually got to go in and fix that.

00:51:33.000 My PayPal is.

00:51:34.000 It's something with taxes or something.

00:51:37.000 I have to go in and input additional information because they have to file tax records or something to that effect.

00:51:43.000 So I've got that all taken care of.

00:51:47.000 I was supposed to get that taken care of this morning, but it slid to my mind.

00:51:51.000 I had so many other things to do.

00:51:52.000 I was at the gym, I was getting my hair cut, getting this fine haircut with my knife at the P.O. Box and other things.

00:52:02.000 Raging Papist says some people want to change the narrative, others want to do nothing. 0.94

00:52:08.000 Ignore the losers who are driven by inaction. 0.83

00:52:11.000 Exactly, exactly right. 0.97

00:52:13.000 And that's the difference.

00:52:14.000 People who talk a lot and who criticize, you know, and there's a great excerpt from Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche about what was it called?

00:52:26.000 I forget what the exact chapter of it was called, but it was about the flies.

00:52:29.000 It was about the flies in the marketplace.

00:52:32.000 And basically, Zarathustra, who is the teacher, said that you can't go around swatting flies.

00:52:39.000 You know, it's not your fate to be a fly swat.

00:52:42.000 There's innumerable flies, and they're all sucking on your blood.

00:52:45.000 They're all landing on you.

00:52:46.000 They're buzzing around.

00:52:48.000 But there's too many of them, and it's not your fate to be a fly slot or something to that effect.

00:52:52.000 And so I love that book because it really encapsulates the difference.

00:52:55.000 And Nietzsche was a big believer in great man theory.

00:52:58.000 There's a number of historiographical theories or theories about historical determinism where they say, how is history made?

00:53:07.000 Is history determined by geography?

00:53:10.000 Is history determined by biology?

00:53:11.000 Is history determined by One of the theories is that history is made by great men.

00:53:16.000 It's not social forces.

00:53:17.000 It's not, well, you know, this country had this topography.

00:53:21.000 It had rivers, and therefore it was able to harness hydropower.

00:53:24.000 You know, whatever.

00:53:25.000 They say this is the great man theorists.

00:53:28.000 They say history is made by exceptional people who, whether they're a product of their times, they harness forces or they create them.

00:53:36.000 But these are the people that change times.

00:53:38.000 Bismarck, Reagan, Stalin, you know, great men.

00:53:42.000 They move the world.

00:53:43.000 And Nietzsche was a big believer in this.

00:53:45.000 And Zarathustra, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, is really kind of an ode to the great man, distinguishing between the marketplace, between kind of the mob, which takes on a mentality of its own, which is the lowest common denominator, and the great man who has to rise above them, who's walking on a tightrope above them.

00:54:03.000 And the mob doesn't understand them.

00:54:05.000 Somebody who speaks to everyone, but then speaks to no one.

00:54:09.000 And a great book.

00:54:10.000 I recommend it to everybody.

00:54:11.000 I actually lent that book to a friend of mine, and he never gave it back.

00:54:16.000 He said he was going to read it, and then he didn't, and then he never gave it back.

00:54:20.000 And he's going to pay a big price for that.

00:54:23.000 So, and I don't mean a physical price.

00:54:27.000 I'm holding this knife, but I'm not threatening that person with physical violence.

00:54:30.000 I'm not threatening them.

00:54:31.000 I just mean that they'll have to pay for the cost to replace the book or they'll have to apologize.

00:54:40.000 I don't mean I'm going to cut them, but a great book.

00:54:43.000 Joe the Croat says, read the gift card I sent you, brother, means a lot.

00:54:46.000 Oh, you sent the gift card as well?

00:54:48.000 I must have left it in the box, but I'll grab that for next time.

00:54:54.000 Let's see.

00:54:55.000 Right from wrong. 1.00

00:54:55.000 Love how the Overton fags all call Kanye a cuck. 1.00

00:54:59.000 Yeah, right? 0.99

00:55:00.000 Kanye doesn't care what you think, all right?

00:55:02.000 Kanye is.

00:55:04.000 Is more of an ubermensch than you are.

00:55:06.000 I have to say that.

00:55:08.000 Not to insult anybody, but for people who say, and I love this, you know, people will sit there on their recliner, you know, they're watching football, arms crossed, you know, in their slippers and sweatpants.

00:55:20.000 Not that there's anything, I'm in my slippers right now. 0.99

00:55:23.000 But for people who sit there and they say, yeah, you know, Kanye's dumb. 1.00

00:55:27.000 Kanye's dumb. 1.00

00:55:29.000 And it's like Kanye is dabbing all over your life. 1.00

00:55:32.000 Kanye is stunting all over your life.

00:55:35.000 He's got a wife.

00:55:36.000 Who's beautiful and who's rich and they've got money.

00:55:39.000 And look, granted, that's not the most important thing in life.

00:55:41.000 You know, I hesitate to go totally materialist and say that's the mark of value. 0.99

00:55:46.000 However, you know, people who are pagans, people who are materialists, people who believe in power or wealth or whatever, they say they believe in the ubermensch and they say, yeah, Kanye dumb. 0.99

00:55:59.000 Kanye dumb. 1.00

00:56:01.000 I don't like Kanye. 1.00

00:56:02.000 I'm sitting over here tweeting with my 37 followers in my studio apartment. 1.00

00:56:08.000 Kanye dumb. 1.00

00:56:09.000 Like Kanye. 1.00

00:56:10.000 Is more of an ubermensch than you are.

00:56:13.000 Looks like we're getting another note from our producer here.

00:56:16.000 And this is our, ah, this is the note from Joe the Serb.

00:56:19.000 We've got it.

00:56:20.000 And this is from Joe, who said, Let all see this blade handle made from the bones of Nick's fallen enemies.

00:56:27.000 He has shown grace, tact, humility, and mercy.

00:56:31.000 Burned bridges and built them.

00:56:33.000 My prayers for you are being listened to, Nicky.

00:56:35.000 Wield this blade wisely.

00:56:37.000 Yours, finally, Joe the Boomer.

00:56:39.000 A very, a very great note.

00:56:41.000 Touching, he's isn't he the best?

00:56:42.000 We have the best fans on the show, we have the best followers, the best fans on the show.

00:56:47.000 You're the real Ubermensch.

00:56:48.000 Forget Kanye, forget the haters.

00:56:50.000 The real Ubermensch are the America First family.

00:56:54.000 We love you, Joe.

00:56:55.000 Appreciate you.

00:56:56.000 Appreciate you.

00:56:58.000 But it's true.

00:57:00.000 Kevin Stokes, Van of Peace kills 10 people in Toronto.

00:57:04.000 I don't know.

00:57:05.000 I mean, I didn't see the whole story there.

00:57:07.000 I hesitate to jump all over something like that unless we know it wasn't one of our guys.

00:57:12.000 Only because it's like, you know, you bring it up and then suddenly you get blamed for it.

00:57:17.000 I'll never forget, I was doing a project during what was it?

00:57:24.000 What was it?

00:57:25.000 What was that shooting?

00:57:27.000 Was it the Stoneman Douglas shooting where they blamed it on that white nationalist group in Florida?

00:57:32.000 Was that Stoneman Douglas?

00:57:33.000 I think it was.

00:57:34.000 Well, I was doing a project.

00:57:36.000 I was getting filmed for a project, which is set to be released sometime soon when that happened.

00:57:43.000 And I remember the day after.

00:57:45.000 Jarbo, not Jarbo, whatever that guy's name was from that Florida group, was like, oh, white nationalists did it, whatever. 0.98

00:57:51.000 And I just looked like a big jerk because it was like, I'm over here saying, we're not violent, we love people. 0.98

00:57:56.000 And here's a guy who ostensibly is connected, at least in the eyes of the media. 0.99

00:58:00.000 We had no connection in real life or in any way, shape, or form ideologically.

00:58:05.000 But the media draws these connections.

00:58:07.000 Excuse me, the media draws these connections.

00:58:09.000 And so I'm here saying, we're not violent, we have this message, we're about love.

00:58:13.000 And this guy was saying, no, no, we did that, that was one of our guys, whatever. 0.98

00:58:17.000 And it made me look dumb. 1.00

00:58:18.000 It made us look foolish. 0.99

00:58:19.000 So we ought to make sure it was one of the others. 0.95

00:58:23.000 John Shepard Smith says, I got to say, you sold me on the Kanye thing.

00:58:27.000 I wasn't fully on board.

00:58:28.000 See, you gotta think.

00:58:32.000 On this show, we don't tell you what to think.

00:58:34.000 We tell you how to think, which is why, you know, like, agree with me, don't agree with me.

00:58:39.000 It doesn't matter.

00:58:40.000 I don't care.

00:58:41.000 You know, I'm right most of the time about things.

00:58:44.000 If you're on board with that, if you like being right, you'll listen to me.

00:58:48.000 If you don't, have fun being wrong.

00:58:50.000 But fundamentally, what I try to get across on this show is this is how I arrive at correct predictions most of the time.

00:58:58.000 This is how I achieve some degree of certainty or some degree of comfort in my life.

00:59:04.000 For people, you know, there are people literally saying during the serious strikes, like, stock up on water, head to the basement, because there's going to be a nuclear war.

00:59:12.000 I've never panicked because I have a good process to accurately predict things.

00:59:17.000 And that's the difference.

00:59:19.000 So you got to think, you got to use your noggin, think in ways that are, you know, people say they think, but nobody really thinks.

00:59:28.000 For most people, what thinking amounts to is like, Saying the same thing over and over again in their head.

00:59:34.000 It's just affirmations.

00:59:36.000 I mean, really, you have to sit down and it's an active process of thinking, asking yourself questions and then more questions and answering them.

00:59:46.000 So many people I know, they'll say, you know, Nick, I can't possibly imagine why you would think that.

00:59:51.000 I've been thinking about it for a long time and I can't come up with why you think that.

00:59:55.000 It's like, no, you haven't been thinking.

00:59:56.000 You've just been saying yourself over and over, I can't imagine.

01:00:00.000 I can't imagine.

01:00:01.000 Of course it's this way.

01:00:02.000 Of course I'm right.

01:00:03.000 How could he think that?

01:00:04.000 I mean, nobody really said.

01:00:06.000 Well, let me put myself in his shoes.

01:00:08.000 Let me entertain his worldview.

01:00:10.000 Let me entertain these thoughts.

01:00:12.000 Let me look at it from that perspective.

01:00:13.000 It's an active process.

01:00:15.000 Few people do it.

01:00:16.000 That's why few people are breaking the conditioning because they're not thinking.

01:00:21.000 And you got to think.

01:00:23.000 Frederick White says, fine, nationalist.

01:00:25.000 Geez, yeah.

01:00:26.000 I'm trolling you back, big guy.

01:00:27.000 I'm onto your game.

01:00:28.000 You're going to get trolled a little bit back.

01:00:31.000 American Rebel says, start using the term nationalist.

01:00:37.000 And neo nationalist when referring to ethnic and civic nationalism.

01:00:41.000 I don't know if that'll catch on, but worth a shot.

01:00:43.000 I'll try it.

01:00:44.000 King Genseric Vandal says, Put down the knife, you making the chat nervous.

01:00:49.000 Good.

01:00:50.000 I hope I make you nervous.

01:00:52.000 I should make a lot of people nervous.

01:00:55.000 I'm kidding.

01:00:57.000 Nobody should be nervous.

01:00:58.000 The police, the FBI, Mossad, nobody should be made nervous by me.

01:01:05.000 I'm just a guy doing a show. 0.79

01:01:07.000 I'm just a goofy kid with a big head doing a show. 0.91

01:01:10.000 In the basement. 0.96

01:01:11.000 Nobody gets nervous.

01:01:15.000 There's no reason to suicide me.

01:01:16.000 There's no reason to get nervous or whatever. 0.89

01:01:19.000 Just a regular guy hanging out with a knife.

01:01:22.000 But I should make the globalist nervous.

01:01:26.000 Alex DeVore says nationalism knife plus one attack, plus one d6 slashing damage, plus three extra damage against subversives, grants plus one to converting people to Christianity. 0.95

01:01:38.000 I like those stats. 0.85

01:01:40.000 I like those stats.

01:01:41.000 We should make an RPG, because I know, or like a combat game.

01:01:45.000 I may actually do that.

01:01:47.000 Somebody was telling me about that, like in August.

01:01:49.000 Apparently, you can do it very cheaply.

01:01:51.000 But there was somebody who posted a meme that was like, Choose your fighter.

01:01:54.000 And it was Nick with the knife, JF with the chainsaw, Sam Hyde with the gun, Trump with the baseball bat, Beardson with the wrench.

01:02:02.000 We should make like a Mortal Kombat game like that.

01:02:04.000 That'd be pretty cool.

01:02:06.000 Bryce, thoughts on Count Dankula and his sentencing?

01:02:09.000 I think he should have gone to jail, to be honest.

01:02:11.000 Not even for what he did, but just because of the whole.

01:02:13.000 I mean, we try and rally around free speech people, even if we disagree with them, but it's like, Good God, I mean, this guy was so cringe.

01:02:21.000 Well, he was like, yeah, my last moments of freedom, I'm smoking pot and playing Super Mario and eating Captain Crunch.

01:02:28.000 It's like, really?

01:02:30.000 This is the guy?

01:02:32.000 This is the freedom fighter?

01:02:34.000 You know, this is our, you know, who would be comparable?

01:02:38.000 I don't know.

01:02:40.000 This is the guy we're holding up as the face of the free speech movement, Count Dankula.

01:02:45.000 Count Dankula with the gauges, eating Captain Crunch. 0.56

01:02:51.000 I'm about to go to jail for years and I'm going to watch, I'm going to play video games and eat Captain Crunch.

01:02:56.000 This is the guy?

01:02:58.000 I don't know.

01:02:59.000 I, you know, he has a right to do the joke video that he did.

01:03:02.000 For those that don't know, Count Dankula was this internet personality.

01:03:06.000 He made a video of a dog doing a Roman salute and he got basically almost thrown in jail for it.

01:03:12.000 And today he avoided getting sentenced to jail, but he did get convicted. 0.92

01:03:18.000 And so, but either way, I mean, he was just a goofy guy.

01:03:20.000 So I support his right to free speech, but not my cup of tea.

01:03:24.000 Ian Weber, I know it might sound crazy, but I really miss Nationalist Review.

01:03:28.000 I used to listen to it while working out when I wanted to, and now I have to work out from 7 to 8 every day.

01:03:33.000 It's fine, though.

01:03:34.000 Good night, everyone.

01:03:35.000 Well, you know, you could just get the premium and listen to America First whenever you want on SoundCloud.

01:03:42.000 But, yeah, I know.

01:03:44.000 It's tough.

01:03:46.000 Oh, maybe you listen to it live because we did do it live for people on Patreon.

01:03:50.000 Yeah, well, I would have loved to carry on doing Nationalist Review, but it wasn't my choice.

01:03:55.000 It wasn't my choice.

01:03:59.000 And I'll be able to talk more freely about that hopefully soon, but we'll see.

01:04:04.000 It was a good podcast.

01:04:05.000 It's a shame.

01:04:06.000 It really is a shame.

01:04:07.000 It was a good podcast.

01:04:08.000 It had great banter, and, you know, some people say it got abusive towards the end.

01:04:14.000 Some people, I mean, there were literally people towards the end who said, Nick, I love you.

01:04:19.000 I agree with you, but you got to take it easy on James.

01:04:22.000 He's going to quit because you're just beating him too badly.

01:04:25.000 And I was like, I can't help it.

01:04:27.000 I can't help you with that.

01:04:29.000 If I stunt on James's life too hard, I can't help myself.

01:04:33.000 David Andrews says Emmanuel Macron believes he can influence Trump.

01:04:39.000 Is Trump going to make him see the light?

01:04:40.000 Hopefully.

01:04:41.000 Who knows?

01:04:42.000 I really like, I kind of like Macron.

01:04:45.000 Some of the stuff he's been saying has made me a lot less wild about him.

01:04:48.000 He was very against Orban's election in Hungary, and I didn't like that at all.

01:04:54.000 Mike Healy, Nick, what are your thoughts on Discord working with the SPLC?

01:04:58.000 I'd be very cautious about it.

01:04:58.000 Very bad.

01:05:01.000 Unfortunately, there's few other alternatives.

01:05:03.000 So if it's going to jeopardize your security, you know, you should probably jump off.

01:05:07.000 But for the most part, I think if you're not posting anything outrageous, it shouldn't be the end of the world.

01:05:14.000 You know, the America First Discord, it's not like it's the alt right Death Squad server.

01:05:20.000 You know, it's called the Boss Baby Fan Server.

01:05:22.000 Like right now, the official name of my server is Boss Baby Fan Server.

01:05:27.000 There's roles for Catboys.

01:05:30.000 I mean, it's a joke server, it's an ironic server.

01:05:33.000 You know, it's not like.

01:05:34.000 It's not like a legitimate Atomwaffen server.

01:05:36.000 So I don't know if the SPLC finds out.

01:05:39.000 I don't know if it's the end of the world, but I guess it's up to everybody to make their own judgment as to what their situation is.

01:05:45.000 Ian Weber, hey, I am premium.

01:05:48.000 I'm not counter something.

01:05:48.000 Don't counter something.

01:05:49.000 I'm just saying.

01:05:50.000 You don't have to listen to it at seven.

01:05:52.000 You could listen to it whenever.

01:05:54.000 Jeez.

01:05:55.000 Michael Jones says, happy belated Earth Day, Nick.

01:05:58.000 Environmentalism has been hijacked from the right.

01:06:01.000 Sad.

01:06:02.000 True.

01:06:03.000 True.

01:06:04.000 We should be environmentalists.

01:06:05.000 We can be.

01:06:06.000 We love the Earth.

01:06:08.000 The problem is, we don't love the earth.

01:06:10.000 We love our country. 0.96

01:06:12.000 Enough of this globe cuck nonsense. 0.95

01:06:15.000 I believe in Earth Day, but I'm not a globe cuck. 0.92

01:06:17.000 I'm not a globe cuck where I think the earth is round or anything like that.

01:06:22.000 Give me a break.

01:06:23.000 You know, people talking about climate change and all that.

01:06:26.000 The world is flat, okay?

01:06:28.000 The world is hollow, okay?

01:06:31.000 World is hollow.

01:06:32.000 We're on the inside, and in the center is a glass ball.

01:06:36.000 And in the center, look, this is written about.

01:06:38.000 I'm not the first one to say this.

01:06:40.000 Inside is a glass ball, and the stars are specks in there.

01:06:45.000 There's also ice around the glass, and inside is the sun, and that's where all the energy comes from.

01:06:51.000 Like I said, Many people have said this before.

01:06:53.000 I'm not the first one to say it, but you're right.

01:06:56.000 We do have to take back Earth Day, but we have to set the record straight on what Earth even is.

01:07:01.000 But I agree, environmentalism has been hijacked from us.

01:07:04.000 We have to take it back.

01:07:05.000 No more of this hippie dippy stuff about, you know. 0.99

01:07:09.000 And I hate people are the worst.

01:07:11.000 On Snapchat, on Instagram, all my friends from high school are posting, you know, like a montage of, like, look at this tree, look at the sky, look at the valley, you know, like, nobody stopped posting that.

01:07:24.000 Nobody cares.

01:07:25.000 How is that Earth Day?

01:07:27.000 I'm posting on so you can look on a screen at scenes of nature.

01:07:31.000 Yeah, good job.

01:07:33.000 Nobody wants to see your nature pictures.

01:07:35.000 And another thing here's another thing.

01:07:37.000 What's with this cult of photography?

01:07:39.000 What is everybody a photographer now?

01:07:41.000 Everybody and their brother is out of photography.

01:07:44.000 And I'm like, that's the other big problem with social media people taking pictures of things people don't care about.

01:07:50.000 On my Instagram, it's pictures of me.

01:07:52.000 People want to see me on my Instagram.

01:07:54.000 People want to see a black and white picture of the city.

01:07:57.000 A black and white picture of this flower.

01:07:59.000 You know, enough.

01:08:00.000 Enough.

01:08:01.000 Stop.

01:08:02.000 You want to enjoy Earth Day?

01:08:04.000 Go out into the earth and put your phone down.

01:08:07.000 But give me a break. 0.97

01:08:08.000 This kind of stuff drives me crazy.

01:08:10.000 It drives me crazy.

01:08:11.000 It doesn't make any sense.

01:08:13.000 What's the thought process?

01:08:16.000 Anywho, Bia says set up a chat server with Matrix API and the Riot client.

01:08:22.000 It's pretty easy and secure.

01:08:23.000 That doesn't sound easy to me, big guy.

01:08:26.000 Set up a chat server with Matrix API and the Riot client.

01:08:29.000 What is that even?

01:08:29.000 That's gobbledygook.

01:08:31.000 To me. 1.00

01:08:31.000 You might as well be speaking Mandarin. 1.00

01:08:33.000 I'll have to look into that.

01:08:35.000 I'll Google that.

01:08:36.000 Just need to pay for some web domain.

01:08:37.000 Oh, yeah, there you go.

01:08:38.000 And it's more money.

01:08:39.000 I'm going to use Discord.

01:08:40.000 All right.

01:08:40.000 Just don't post Nazi memes.

01:08:42.000 We should be all right.

01:08:44.000 And we'll jump over to our Stream Labs.

01:08:46.000 It looks like Joe left some from a few days ago, which we'll get to. 0.92

01:08:50.000 Joe says, Nick, I'm getting a lot of crap for refusing to identify as white nationalist, instead, opting for trad American nat in favor of white Native American supermajority. 0.97

01:09:01.000 I was called a cuck, a black person lover, and a civic nationalist. 0.99

01:09:05.000 White unity idea. 0.98

01:09:05.000 This. 0.98

01:09:07.000 Silly, in my opinion. 0.96

01:09:08.000 Please help me here. 0.98

01:09:09.000 Well, that's just, that's toxic stuff.

01:09:11.000 All that stuff is toxic.

01:09:12.000 Can't have it.

01:09:13.000 Can't have it.

01:09:14.000 And I know I said saying toxic is bad, but there's really no other way to say it.

01:09:19.000 There are people that only want to drag us down by saying ugly, nasty, crude, coarse things, and we want no part of that.

01:09:27.000 You know, look at Pat Buchanan, look at Sam Francis, look at any of these guys, and they're able to say effectively similar things, but without this like lower left side of the bell curve stuff where it's just, Racial epithets, and it's just so classless.

01:09:43.000 It's so beneath us. 0.56

01:09:45.000 We have a real grievance against the modern world, an intellectual one that's legitimate.

01:09:52.000 And to bring that to that level with that ugly language, it just does us nothing but harm.

01:09:58.000 And I would seriously doubt anybody who thinks that's a good idea.

01:10:03.000 I would seriously question the intentions of anybody who thinks that's a good idea, right?

01:10:08.000 You know, there's people in the Republican Party who want free markets.

01:10:12.000 And they're not saying the effing free market by, you know, socialist, this.

01:10:16.000 I mean, it's just a matter of class.

01:10:19.000 It's not a matter of principle.

01:10:20.000 It's a matter of class.

01:10:21.000 It's a matter of optics.

01:10:24.000 Optical.

01:10:25.000 Joe the Croat says, I got to say, my man, my prayers for you are truly being listened to.

01:10:30.000 Over the past two weeks, your performance has surpassed all expectations.

01:10:34.000 You showed mercy and humility, and that wasn't easy and still came out on top while being sick and tired.

01:10:41.000 Nick is leveling up soon.

01:10:42.000 Well, we appreciate you, big guy.

01:10:44.000 Appreciate your prayers.

01:10:46.000 The show is doing very well, and we are staying humble.

01:10:46.000 It's true.

01:10:49.000 People say I'm arrogant.

01:10:50.000 You know, let them talk.

01:10:51.000 Let them talk.

01:10:53.000 But we are humble.

01:10:54.000 We have to be if we fear God.

01:10:56.000 But looks like those are our Streamlabs and our Super Chats.

01:11:00.000 I'll get the Streamlabs situation sorted out tonight, so that'll be ready for tomorrow. 0.71

01:11:04.000 We got one more Super Chat from Jose Antonio who says, You believe minorities slash mixed race liberals want to vote out and replace right wing ideas and views by making outsiders citizens. 0.63

01:11:18.000 Yeah, basically. 0.89

01:11:18.000 I mean, that's exactly what's happening. 0.89

01:11:20.000 That's exactly what's happening.

01:11:23.000 And they're not even trying.

01:11:24.000 They don't even want white people to vote for them.

01:11:26.000 They're not even trying to get the white vote.

01:11:28.000 Right?

01:11:29.000 You have somebody like Barack Obama who explicitly appeals to get.

01:11:32.000 Actually, that's a bad example.

01:11:34.000 Barack Obama was one of the last breed of pragmatic Democrats who did appeal to the white vote.

01:11:39.000 If you recall, in 2008, Barack Obama was a lot more moderate than how he governed.

01:11:45.000 In 2008, he won Indiana.

01:11:47.000 Don't forget, in 2008, Barack Obama won Indiana and Iowa and Ohio.

01:11:54.000 And Wisconsin and Michigan, and I think he won North Carolina too.

01:11:58.000 And the reason being was because he was preaching a working class message. 0.98

01:12:03.000 He wasn't coming at you with this, you know, transsexual bathrooms, homosexuals on TV. 0.52

01:12:08.000 You know, he wasn't, you didn't build that social. 0.79

01:12:11.000 You know, it wasn't that.

01:12:13.000 When he ran, it was the Iraq War was a mistake.

01:12:17.000 The recession was caused by hyper capitalism, which it was.

01:12:21.000 And it was a very, he came out against gay marriage actually during the election.

01:12:25.000 He was in a, I remember in 2008, he debated a guy.

01:12:30.000 What was that guy's name?

01:12:31.000 It was Key something or something Key.

01:12:35.000 Some other black guy from Illinois, he was debating.

01:12:38.000 Maybe it was for a senator.

01:12:39.000 I forget.

01:12:39.000 Or maybe it was for the, I don't know.

01:12:41.000 But he was debating some other guy about this, and he was against gay marriage.

01:12:45.000 And he was against a lot of that stuff.

01:12:47.000 He was a very moderate person, relatively speaking.

01:12:50.000 But over the course of the last eight years, he really pushed the party leftward.

01:12:55.000 But point being, now Democrats, eight years later, now they don't even care. 1.00

01:12:59.000 Look at Hillary Clinton's clan.

01:13:01.000 Campaign with the basket of deplorable stuff, and you know, all this stuff about what did she say about implicit racism?

01:13:08.000 Everybody's secretly racist, all that kind of stuff.

01:13:10.000 So, they don't even try to win white people anymore.

01:13:13.000 They're literally importing their voter base, they're importing them. 0.51

01:13:17.000 11 million illegal immigrants are going to try and get them legalization, and then those are the Democratic voter base. 0.71

01:13:23.000 You've had a million and a half immigrants for 20, 25 years.

01:13:27.000 That's the new Democrat voter base.

01:13:30.000 So, and it's no secret either.

01:13:31.000 You look at any of the polls. 0.81

01:13:32.000 Not only do the new immigrants vote more for the Democratic Party proportionally, but they believe the same things as the Democratic Party. 0.92

01:13:39.000 It's not enough that 1 in 20 illegals are Republican and 1 in 10 legal Hispanic immigrants are Republican, but it's that 70% of first generation Hispanic immigrants support big government. 0.69

01:13:50.000 So it's not just that they are Democrats, it's also that they believe what the Democrats believe. 0.57

01:13:55.000 No coincidence there.

01:13:57.000 But that's our Super Chats.

01:13:58.000 That's our show for tonight.

01:14:00.000 It's 8 20.

01:14:01.000 Every day we're going 20 minutes over.

01:14:03.000 This is bonus content.

01:14:05.000 Some people, they can't even give you two hours a week.

01:14:07.000 Some people, they can't even give you two hours for one podcast.

01:14:12.000 Me, I give you an hour 20.

01:14:13.000 I give you an hour and a half, and very good.

01:14:16.000 But that's our show for tonight.

01:14:19.000 A fun show, exciting.

01:14:20.000 We're all fired up for another hot episode of the show.

01:14:25.000 Remember to check us out on Maker Support.

01:14:28.000 We're having some trouble with them still.

01:14:29.000 Hopefully, it's resolved by the end of the week, but still stay on there because I don't want to tell people not to get off, not because of the money, but because I will still be posting the premium podcast there.

01:14:41.000 So it's like, I've seen a couple of people since I said Maker Support is giving me trouble.

01:14:45.000 They pulled their pledges, and I don't want them to pull their pledges because now they're not going to be able to get the premium content.

01:14:52.000 So you still can get the premium content on Maker Support.

01:14:56.000 We're just going to have to figure out what will happen.

01:14:58.000 I said if they figure it out by May 1st, and they gave an announcement the other day, so we should be all right.

01:15:04.000 But do check us out.

01:15:05.000 We got some exclusive podcasts for you there.

01:15:08.000 World Report comes back tomorrow, 2018 Election HQ on Thursday.

01:15:12.000 I won't be here for America First on Friday because I'll be at American Renaissance in Tennessee for the conference there.

01:15:20.000 I'll be giving a speech.

01:15:21.000 So I won't be here on Friday.

01:15:23.000 So don't be upset or surprised.

01:15:24.000 I'll be at American Renaissance.

01:16:26.000 America first. 0.99

01:16:30.000 The American people will come first once again.

01:16:42.000 With respect, Jerry.
