00:08:40.000Kind of a slow news day tonight, but it's gonna be a good show.
00:08:46.000And featured story tonight we're talking all about the Israeli strike on an Iranian consulate building in Syria this weekend which killed four Iranian generals.
00:09:03.000It's been a minute since we covered the broader war.
00:09:06.000We've done a little bit more discussion of the campaign in Gaza.
00:09:12.000And the repercussions of this offensive, which they appear to be committed to doing soon now in Rafah.
00:09:19.000But it's been a while since we talked about the broader conflict and there's been some developments in the Red Sea and some developments in Jordan.
00:09:30.000And now the big development this weekend is that Israel has bombed a consulate.
00:09:37.000They deny it's a consulate, but it is.
00:09:40.000And for those that maybe don't understand the significance of that, that's the equivalent of bombing the soil of a foreign country.
00:09:50.000Any diplomatic facility in a foreign country effectively is the territory of that country.
00:11:18.000But, by the same token, I feel like the problem with so many conservatives
00:11:26.000is their issue is not with the fact that we have such a day because they would be happy with it if it were any other weekend just just not on Easter and while I will say that of course it is particularly bad because of the sacrilege
00:11:49.000At the same time, it is also bad on any other day, any other March 31st, because apparently that is always when it falls.
00:11:58.000It would be bad any other day, or any other year, on the 31st.
00:12:05.000And, you know, I've talked about this off and on over the years when it ever, when we arrive at this transgender topic, but
00:12:16.000I feel like, and I said something similar to this last week, I think, about Christianity, when the whole Christ is King thing popped off.
00:12:27.000I think most conservatives just want to create compartments.
00:12:31.000And they want to create a compartment over here for Christians, and they're equally okay with creating a compartment over here for transgenders or for any other thing.
00:12:44.000And the problem is, that's just not how we're going to create the society that we want to live in.
00:12:51.000Because as long as liberalism is hegemonic, and that is, I mean to put it in that way, this compartmentalization, that is what liberalism is.
00:13:05.000Which is to defer or avoid all questions of morality, all questions of virtue,
00:13:14.000And to simply allow everybody to get along as long as they don't get in each other's way.
00:13:21.000And that is exactly, that's precisely what led us to this situation right now, is letting people do that.
00:13:28.000Because without the firm hand of the church and the state, people will tend towards licentiousness, they will tend towards permissiveness, they will be inclined towards sin.
00:13:42.000And if there's no institution that's holding that back, well, that's how we get to where we are now.
00:13:53.000Between collapse of marriage, and fertility rates, and this mass apostasy, decline in religiosity, all these things that are going on, it all stems from that.
00:14:04.000And it's fundamentally an abandonment of moral conviction.
00:14:59.000Kind of a funny situation, but hope you enjoyed the holiday.
00:15:04.000Before we get into the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:15:13.000Also, like the video on Rumble, follow me on Telegram.
00:15:17.000As promised, we got a big announcement this week.
00:15:20.000I don't want to say it today because it's April Fool's, but we have a big announcement for you coming up soon.
00:15:26.000It's what you've all been waiting for.
00:15:28.000It's gonna be very hype, so stay tuned for that.
00:15:52.000But the one thing that I did see today is I'm getting attacked now all of a sudden.
00:15:56.000Ever since last week I blew up with the Jeremy Boring thing and I was trending for like a week and my account was huge and all that.
00:16:05.000And I've noticed lately everybody's now attacking me.
00:16:10.000And have you ever noticed that this is like a pattern?
00:16:15.000There is enough data now, I think, to point to a very clear pattern.
00:16:20.000I've been doing this for seven years now, and every time I make a splash, anytime I test the level of resistance in the mainstream, there's always then like a delayed but immediate, or I should say rapid,
00:16:40.000Wave of negative gossip and hit pieces and things like that.
00:16:53.000And a lot of my clips are going viral where I talk about my origin and how I really was a normal guy.
00:16:59.000And people can say whatever they want about what has happened in the intervening seven years.
00:17:05.000But when I started doing this when I was 18
00:17:07.000I was a completely normie, inoffensive, mainstream Republican, and I was ostracized and shut down for nothing other than criticizing Israel.
00:17:19.000You can say whatever you want about what happened afterward, because then it, and that's always what happens, then it turns into Hatfields and McCoys.
00:17:30.000You know, you get cancelled, you react in extreme ways to that, and then you get censored more aggressively, and then you react to that, and you're trapped in a cycle that becomes incomprehensible if you don't know the order of events.
00:17:44.000But when I started, I was a totally inoffensive character, but I just had these unfortunate, inconvenient,
00:17:52.000Curiosities about why we support Israel and I was cancelled for that.
00:17:57.000And so clips like that are going viral and everybody's replying and saying, Oh my gosh, I had no idea.
00:18:13.000And then it's just ever since that kind of moment last week, there's just been the steady stream of the usual suspects putting out clips about me, like Joel Berry, a lot of Jews, but also a lot of these like liberal pro-Palestine types like Ryan Dawson and now this guy Ian Carroll putting out clips where I said, oh well the age of consent should be lower and whatever.
00:18:39.000And the timing is always the operative feature here.
00:18:45.000Which is, after Groyper War, that's when they brought up the cookie joke.
00:18:51.000I don't even think people realized that, but that was the timeline.
00:18:54.000My followers were going to Turning Point USA,
00:19:58.000Then there was really not a lot of negative publicity for a couple of years.
00:20:03.000Then, at AFPAC 3, which is my big conference, we had Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Paul Gosar, and Lieutenant Governor of Idaho, and we had Wendy Rogers from Arizona, and it was our biggest conference.
00:20:20.000And then, two months later, all this drama, oh he's a terrible boss, we lied about the money, did this,
00:20:27.000And then now it's deja vu all over again.
00:20:30.000I'm talking to Jeremy Boring, which is just like Overton Window destroyed, and I told that whole story last week and the significance of that.
00:20:40.000And then all throughout the past week, first I get banned on Twitter so I can't speak for myself, and then people pile on the shit.
00:20:49.000So, it's very frustrating, but that's how it goes.
00:20:53.000But I made a point today on Telegram about that.
00:20:57.000We can never forget that we stand for something very particular.
00:21:01.000Which is, you know, Ryan Dawson is now pushing a video where I said I don't care about Palestinians a couple years ago.
00:21:39.000I have always said that I believe that there is a moral case to be made, that what Israel is doing in Gaza is wrong, but I've always said that my policy is America first.
00:21:59.000It's not to say I'm not sympathetic, and it's not to say that I'm not on their side, or that I'm not rooting for them.
00:22:07.000But my opposition to what is happening over there has nearly everything to do with the fact that America is involved.
00:22:16.000There are atrocities happening all over the world, all the time.
00:22:19.000It's not to say, it's not to minimize the plight of the Palestinians, but where were all these bleeding hearts when Yemenis were being slaughtered in Yemen by Saudi Arabia?
00:22:29.000Where were they when people were dying in Syria?
00:22:33.000Where are they now with what's been going on in Sudan and what's been going on throughout Africa?
00:22:42.000What is significant about this is, one, that the United States is cosigning it and supporting it, and related to that, it proceeds from this, which is that the United States is dominated by Jewry.
00:22:57.000So it's a world of a difference between saying, well, I don't like Zionism because it's an imperial project and they're committing human rights violations, and saying, I don't want my country to be controlled by a foreign lobby and people that hate Jesus.
00:23:15.000Those are two completely different things.
00:23:17.000And here's how you know they're completely different things.
00:23:22.000When Candace Owens got fired for saying Christ is King, Cenk Uygur from Young Turks, who has been pro-Palestinian and outspoken against Israel and some people on his network, he gloated about it.
00:23:35.000He gloated about Candace Owens being fired.
00:23:38.000And Jackson Hinkle and Haas, the two MAGA communists,
00:23:42.000They've talked extensively about the Israel lobby, but when push comes to shove last week, they said there is no Jewish control.
00:23:50.000They said the world is run by capitalists, not Jews.
00:23:58.000And case in point, I mean some of the people that are pushing this idea that I was insincere in my support for Palestine because I've said I don't, I'm America first and I don't really care about Palestinians, they're atheists, liberals, they don't even live in America.
00:24:16.000So what you find with these left-wingers is that they draw the line
00:24:23.000At their ideological liberal opposition to what is specifically happening in Israel.
00:24:30.000I would contend that probably a lot of them want to see reparations for black people.
00:24:35.000I would contend that a lot of them would want to see reparations for Indians, for Native Americans in the United States, or American Indians.
00:24:43.000And I think also they would have no problem with an American elite dominated by progressive Jews.
00:24:51.000Because on some level, they agree with the Jews.
00:24:57.000And this is the most important thing to understand.
00:24:59.000You might think it's a contradiction, but think about the dynamic of Jews in Israel and the dynamic of Jews in the United States, which I've talked about all the time.
00:25:10.000The Jews in the United States push liberalism.
00:25:13.000It is well documented that they are the proponents of almost every major liberal political movement in the history of the United States.
00:25:21.000And they're very clear about their intention.
00:25:23.000They're very clear about why they do that.
00:25:50.000They were the author of the melting pot narrative.
00:25:54.000They wrote the Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty.
00:25:58.000They pushed for the Establishment Clause and the removal of prayer in schools and the firm distinction between church and state.
00:26:06.000They pushed for all these things because
00:26:09.000The further the United States gets from its white Christian founding, and the less homogeneous it gets, and the less of a monoculture there is, the more that they will be able to feel welcome and safe and kind of slip through the cracks of society.
00:26:30.000If America is all one race and all one religion, or mostly those things, they stick out like a sore thumb.
00:26:37.000And their conspicuousness has always been a source of insecurity for them.
00:27:07.000Which has made them a target, which has made them visible and therefore able to be targeted and generated resentment.
00:27:14.000So if the United States is completely multicultural and if the religion of the country, if the hegemonic ideology is multiculturalism, well then it doesn't matter that the Ivy League universities are all run by Jews who comprise 2% of the population.
00:27:32.000There'd be nothing in itself, there'd be nothing per se wrong with that.
00:27:37.000And the same goes for their over-representation among the students at those universities, their over-representation in political donors, the billionaire class, that they're the most wealthy, the most educated, all these, it would be completely unproblematic.
00:27:58.000In Israel, they are theocratic fascists.
00:28:02.000So in the United States, they would say, you know, you cannot have an autocratic, theocratic, Christian government in America because what about us?
00:28:47.000Some of them want a liberal government in Israel.
00:28:51.000But I would say that after October 7th, there was certainly less, less of a difference of opinion on those things.
00:28:57.000In other words, many Jews, like Ben Shapiro, will come to the United States and say, I don't give a damn about the browning of America, it's about their ideas, not their skin color.
00:29:07.000But in Israel, he will say, we need to remove every ethnic Palestinian from the state of Israel.
00:29:25.000I mean, that's like the most on-its-face contradiction, but that stems from this dynamic of Jews as a stateless people, as a minority outside of Israel, and Jews in their state, in Israel, as a majority, as the ruling government,
00:29:45.000And anyway, so one doesn't fully understand what is happening unless you consider both sides of this.
00:29:54.000The Bolshevik or liberal side and the Zionist side.
00:29:59.000And a lot of these left-wing people, they only see one side of the equation.
00:30:03.000They don't like that Israel is like murdering people for fun over there and using our government to do it.
00:30:10.000But they also want the Jewish agenda for the United States, which is that it's going to be totally liberal and destroy the foundations of our success.
00:30:18.000And that is because there's a deeper spiritual truth here, which is that the Jews understand that the source of their strength is their tribalism.
00:30:30.000It is the coherence and the familiarity of their society.
00:30:37.000I mean, and that's kind of the basis of fascism, is that a people united together on the basis of those kinds of commonalities.
00:30:47.000Shared ethnicity, shared religion, shared culture, shared sense of nationhood.
00:30:52.000When a group of people like that get together, they become very strong in the world.
00:30:58.000They become disproportionately strong.
00:31:01.000Whereas a people that is not coherent and do not have those things in common and are disparate and diverse and heterodox or heterogeneous, it's a tremendous source of weakness and instability and insecurity and confusion.
00:31:18.000And so, you know, the lesson is not to say that Israel should be as gay as America, or that Israel should be as chaotic and unhinged and with a lack of identity like the United States.
00:31:29.000It's that the United States should have a semblance of nationhood and identity like Israel.
00:31:34.000Now, that doesn't mean that we're gonna murder all the people that don't look like us, but it does mean that, like Israel, we need to have a country that is predicated on its own survival, first and foremost.
00:32:15.000So we're not just against the Zionism.
00:32:20.000Yes, we are against Jews having power.
00:32:23.000We are against Jews having power in our country because they are not Christian and they have an allegiance to their own tribe and their own country.
00:32:35.000Now if a Jew converts to Christianity, I have no problem with that person having power.
00:32:40.000If a Jewish person is bound to Christian law, then theoretically I have no problem with them being in power.
00:32:47.000For example, if you have blasphemy laws, decency laws that are governing Hollywood, I think Jews actually make fine directors and artists.
00:32:56.000It's just that many times the things that they make transgress certain boundaries that are inappropriate.
00:33:02.000So, you know, that is where we are fundamentally distinct from these pro-Palestine liberal types.
00:33:24.000I think that everyone in the country should have dignity.
00:33:27.000I think everyone in the country should be treated with respect.
00:33:30.000I think everyone should have equal rights.
00:33:32.000But I think that the privilege to rule should be reserved for Christians.
00:33:41.000And I think that the country should, for the sake of its own survival, by definition, have some semblance of homogeneity, border control, some due consideration for demographic balance.
00:33:58.000You know, all those things are very important, so... Anyway, so I saw some criticism from some of these liberals, you know, they're not religious, they're not conservative, they don't like Trump, they want RFK because he's a hippie and he's talking to the First Nations and, you know, these are not our people.
00:34:16.000Now, and I have no problem coming together with them on a contingent basis for the sake of what's happening in Gaza,
00:34:24.000But, clearly, since that argument has been decided, now they want to come and beef with me because I'm not a fucking liberal.
00:35:27.000And that's an important distinction to make.
00:35:30.000So our first story, we'll talk about this Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:35:34.000You know, Joe Biden declared that Easter Sunday was going to be a Transgender Day of Visibility, which many people were quick to criticize.
00:35:45.000In fairness to Biden, apparently this day is always on March 31st, and so it happened to fall on Easter this year.
00:35:53.000I don't think that excuses it, but it is important to acknowledge the details.
00:36:03.000It says Republicans are taking aim at President Joe Biden for proclaiming Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility, although the two days only coincided this year by chance.
00:36:15.000The Transgender Day of Visibility, which was started in 2009 as a day of awareness to celebrate the success of transgender and gender non-conforming people, is held annually on March 31st.
00:36:29.000The date of Easter, meanwhile, changes from year to year.
00:36:33.000Which I'm a little confused what he means by that.
00:36:35.000I mean I get broadly what he means but
00:37:04.000Is the central tenet of Easter like, don't be transgender?
00:37:07.000That's like a weirdly specific thing to say.
00:37:10.000Obviously it's an extremely sinful thing to promote on Easter, but...
00:37:17.000The central, maybe the central point is like we have to repudiate sin like transgenderism I suppose, but anyway.
00:37:24.000White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement on Saturday, as a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.
00:37:35.000Sadly, politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric.
00:37:41.000President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or profit.
00:38:05.000That's the biggest thing happening in the universe on Easter is that Jesus rose from the dead, not what the American government says the day is.
00:38:14.000I obviously understand why people are upset, but for me, all these kind of clickbaity type things, I always just roll my eyes.
00:39:44.000The problem is when you make a Christian bake a cake.
00:39:48.000And this is the kind of thing that I've talked about for years.
00:39:52.000Which is that conservatives seem to not, in principle, be opposed to these kinds of things reigning in our country.
00:40:02.000Conservatives have normalized and tolerated pornography, transgenderism, feminism, homosexuality, a number of things, contraceptives, all of that.
00:40:16.000And even if they don't agree with those things themselves, they will say something like, well, it's a free country and people can do whatever they like to do in their own home.
00:40:29.000So, conservatives, it's not that they're against Transgender Visibility Day, they're against it on Easter.
00:40:36.000But if you want to do it the following week, if you want to do it in the privacy of your own home, if you want to do it in a liberal state like California, they say knock yourself out.
00:41:01.000Instead of conservatives getting up there and saying this is wrong,
00:41:06.000They get up there and say, well, it's not my cup of tea.
00:41:10.000So instead of going up and saying transgenderism isn't real, how can transgenders be visible when they don't exist, and why would we promote something that is so horrifying, and why would we promote something that is so evil, instead they say, well, it's just not my cup of tea.
00:41:33.000You can have the transgender holiday next week.
00:41:38.000And this is why we have Black History Month and Holocaust Day and Women's Day and this day and that day.
00:41:45.000And until conservatives are able to stand up and say we want to live in a fundamentally alternate society, a fundamentally different society with different rules,
00:41:58.000Then this is the ideology that will rule.
00:42:00.000I mean, what would be the argument against transgenders getting a transgender surgery?
