00:00:39.000 We're good.
00:03:21.000 The Ulmer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the humanity. 1.00
00:03:27.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our freedom!
00:04:00.000 He's not interested.
00:04:01.000 I'm sorry.
00:04:01.000 I'm sorry, Brittany and Betsy, but I just can't do it.
00:04:04.000 You're an e-girl. 1.00
00:04:05.000 You know the rule.
00:04:06.000 No e-girls. 1.00
00:04:07.000 Who's got the clip?
00:04:09.000 No e-girls. 1.00
00:04:10.000 Hashtag never e-girls. 0.96
00:04:10.000 Never! 0.96
00:04:13.000 Not even once.
00:04:35.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
00:04:41.000 It's going to be only America first. 0.99
00:04:46.000 America first.
00:04:51.000 The American people will come first once again.
00:05:04.000 The respect that we deserve.
00:05:14.000 From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. 0.99
00:05:20.000 America first.
00:08:24.000 Good evening everybody you're watching America First.
00:08:27.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:08:29.000 We have a great show for you tonight.
00:08:31.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Monday.
00:08:34.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight.
00:08:36.000 Lots to get into.
00:08:38.000 Big show.
00:08:40.000 Kind of a slow news day tonight, but it's gonna be a good show.
00:08:46.000 And 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.
00:08:59.000 Pretty big deal.
00:09:00.000 This is basically an act of war.
00:09:03.000 It's been a minute since we covered the broader war.
00:09:06.000 We've done a little bit more discussion of the campaign in Gaza.
00:09:12.000 And the repercussions of this offensive, which they appear to be committed to doing soon now in Rafah.
00:09:19.000 But 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.
00:09:30.000 And now the big development this weekend is that Israel has bombed a consulate.
00:09:37.000 They deny it's a consulate, but it is.
00:09:40.000 And for those that maybe don't understand the significance of that, that's the equivalent of bombing the soil of a foreign country.
00:09:50.000 Any diplomatic facility in a foreign country effectively is the territory of that country.
00:09:59.000 So the U.S.
00:10:00.000 Embassy, for example, in France
00:10:04.000 Inside the building, on the land, is considered American land.
00:10:10.000 It's governed by American law and an attack on that facility would be an attack on America.
00:10:18.000 Similarly, if Israel bombs an embassy, this is different than bombing a base or a munitions depot or a legitimate military target.
00:10:30.000 This is a major escalation, so I would not be surprised if there was a major retaliation by Iran in response to this. 0.73
00:10:40.000 So we'll talk all about that and the details of the strike and what happens next.
00:10:48.000 We'll also be talking tonight about President Biden's transgender day of visibility on Easter!
00:10:54.000 ON EASTER!
00:10:55.000 Now,
00:10:58.000 Me, personally, you want to do Transgender Visibility Day any other day?
00:11:04.000 Knock yourself out.
00:11:06.000 That's fine.
00:11:07.000 Banana! 0.98
00:11:08.000 No, but I did see this all throughout the weekend.
00:11:11.000 It is a major outrage.
00:11:13.000 It's extremely sacrilegious.
00:11:18.000 But, by the same token, I feel like the problem with so many conservatives
00:11:26.000 is 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
00:11:49.000 At the same time, it is also bad on any other day, any other March 31st, because apparently that is always when it falls.
00:11:58.000 It would be bad any other day, or any other year, on the 31st.
00:12:05.000 And, you know, I've talked about this off and on over the years when it ever, when we arrive at this transgender topic, but
00:12:16.000 I feel like, and I said something similar to this last week, I think, about Christianity, when the whole Christ is King thing popped off.
00:12:27.000 I think most conservatives just want to create compartments.
00:12:31.000 And 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. 0.76
00:12:44.000 And the problem is, that's just not how we're going to create the society that we want to live in.
00:12:51.000 Because as long as liberalism is hegemonic, and that is, I mean to put it in that way, this compartmentalization, that is what liberalism is.
00:13:05.000 Which is to defer or avoid all questions of morality, all questions of virtue,
00:13:14.000 And to simply allow everybody to get along as long as they don't get in each other's way.
00:13:21.000 And that is exactly, that's precisely what led us to this situation right now, is letting people do that.
00:13:28.000 Because 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.
00:13:42.000 And if there's no institution that's holding that back, well, that's how we get to where we are now.
00:13:50.000 With everything the way that it is.
00:13:53.000 Between 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.
00:14:04.000 And it's fundamentally an abandonment of moral conviction.
00:14:08.000 So, we'll talk about all that.
00:14:10.000 It's gonna be a good show.
00:14:12.000 Hope everybody had a great Easter.
00:14:14.000 Happy Easter.
00:14:15.000 I took Friday off.
00:14:16.000 I never feel like it's appropriate to do a show on Good Friday.
00:14:20.000 You know, a lot of people on Good Friday will fast until Easter Sunday.
00:14:26.000 Some traditional Catholics will.
00:14:29.000 And some people even will meditate or pray for three hours from noon to three when Christ was dying on the cross.
00:14:35.000 So I never feel it's appropriate to do it on Friday.
00:14:38.000 I don't know if I have in the past or not, but it's always a question for me.
00:14:44.000 So, I hope you guys had a great Easter though.
00:14:47.000 I got recognized in church and I think it was three, it was actually like Destiny people, even though it's a Catholic church.
00:14:58.000 So I had a good Easter.
00:14:59.000 Kind of a funny situation, but hope you enjoyed the holiday.
00:15:04.000 Before 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.
00:15:13.000 Also, like the video on Rumble, follow me on Telegram.
00:15:17.000 As promised, we got a big announcement this week.
00:15:20.000 I don't want to say it today because it's April Fool's, but we have a big announcement for you coming up soon.
00:15:26.000 It's what you've all been waiting for.
00:15:28.000 It's gonna be very hype, so stay tuned for that.
00:15:33.000 Should be coming in a few days.
00:15:36.000 What else?
00:15:39.000 I guess that's it.
00:15:40.000 Kind of a slow day today.
00:15:42.000 Not a lot of news.
00:15:44.000 Wasn't a lot of news on Thursday either last time I did the show.
00:15:49.000 Kind of a content desert out here.
00:15:52.000 But the one thing that I did see today is I'm getting attacked now all of a sudden.
00:15:56.000 Ever 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.
00:16:05.000 And I've noticed lately everybody's now attacking me.
00:16:10.000 And have you ever noticed that this is like a pattern?
00:16:15.000 There is enough data now, I think, to point to a very clear pattern.
00:16:20.000 I'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,
00:16:40.000 Wave of negative gossip and hit pieces and things like that.
00:16:45.000 Perfect example.
00:16:46.000 Last week I'm viral on Twitter.
00:16:49.000 I talk with Jeremy Boring.
00:16:51.000 Candace Owens tweeted about me.
00:16:53.000 And a lot of my clips are going viral where I talk about my origin and how I really was a normal guy.
00:16:59.000 And people can say whatever they want about what has happened in the intervening seven years.
00:17:05.000 But when I started doing this when I was 18
00:17:07.000 I was a completely normie, inoffensive, mainstream Republican, and I was ostracized and shut down for nothing other than criticizing Israel. 0.62
00:17:19.000 You 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.
00:17:30.000 You 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.
00:17:44.000 But when I started, I was a totally inoffensive character, but I just had these unfortunate, inconvenient,
00:17:52.000 Curiosities about why we support Israel and I was cancelled for that.
00:17:57.000 And so clips like that are going viral and everybody's replying and saying, Oh my gosh, I had no idea.
00:18:02.000 He's actually a reasonable guy.
00:18:05.000 I never heard of him before.
00:18:07.000 I never heard him actually speak for himself.
00:18:09.000 This is such a surprise.
00:18:11.000 People check out my show.
00:18:13.000 And 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.
00:18:39.000 And the timing is always the operative feature here.
00:18:45.000 Which is, after Groyper War, that's when they brought up the cookie joke.
00:18:51.000 I don't even think people realized that, but that was the timeline.
00:18:54.000 My followers were going to Turning Point USA,
00:18:59.000 When Don Jr.
00:19:00.000 was speaking at UCLA, at one of them, and they were saying, hey, why do you support mass migration?
00:19:07.000 Hey, why do you have gay people on the stage talking about how they're proud to be gay? 1.00
00:19:11.000 Isn't this conservative?
00:19:13.000 Hey, why do you say that if America and Israel had a conflict of interest, you would side with Israel?
00:19:20.000 Like, reasonable, legitimate questions.
00:19:22.000 They were getting a lot of pressure from the right.
00:19:25.000 And then first, they dug up an old clip where I made fun of the Holocaust. 0.50
00:19:29.000 And that was years ago, so that's before it became acceptable.
00:19:33.000 Largely thanks to me and Kanye.
00:19:36.000 And then a month later, it was the Catboy-Cami thing. 1.00
00:19:40.000 Does anybody realize the conspicuous timing?
00:19:44.000 Groyper War.
00:19:45.000 I'm like, world famous, we get Don Jr.
00:19:48.000 boot off the stage, and then immediately, oh he's a Holocaust denier and he's gay. 0.82
00:19:55.000 Then it was AFPAC 3.
00:19:58.000 Then there was really not a lot of negative publicity for a couple of years.
00:20:03.000 Then, 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.
00:20:17.000 Yeah, 1,200 people, it was nuts.
00:20:20.000 And then, two months later, all this drama, oh he's a terrible boss, we lied about the money, did this,
00:20:27.000 And then now it's deja vu all over again.
00:20:30.000 I'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.
00:20:40.000 And 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.
00:20:49.000 So, it's very frustrating, but that's how it goes.
00:20:53.000 But I made a point today on Telegram about that.
00:20:57.000 We can never forget that we stand for something very particular.
00:21:01.000 Which is, you know, Ryan Dawson is now pushing a video where I said I don't care about Palestinians a couple years ago.
00:21:09.000 Like that's a gotcha.
00:21:11.000 But if you've been watching my show, you know my view on this since the beginning.
00:21:15.000 And I've said since October 7th, and every month since then, that our particular position is not that we are against imperialism.
00:21:27.000 And insofar as we are against imperialism, we oppose what Israel is doing in Gaza for the sake of the victims of Israel's imperialism. 0.52
00:21:37.000 I've never said that.
00:21:39.000 I 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. 0.87
00:21:51.000 So, in a sense, I don't care.
00:21:56.000 In a sense,
00:21:57.000 I only care about Americans. 0.94
00:21:59.000 It'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.
00:22:07.000 But my opposition to what is happening over there has nearly everything to do with the fact that America is involved.
00:22:16.000 There are atrocities happening all over the world, all the time.
00:22:19.000 It'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?
00:22:29.000 Where were they when people were dying in Syria?
00:22:33.000 Where are they now with what's been going on in Sudan and what's been going on throughout Africa?
00:22:40.000 Horrible things happen all the time.
00:22:42.000 What 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. 0.94
00:22:56.000 Okay?
00:22:57.000 So 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. 0.62
00:23:15.000 Those are two completely different things.
00:23:17.000 And here's how you know they're completely different things.
00:23:22.000 When 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.
00:23:35.000 He gloated about Candace Owens being fired.
00:23:38.000 And Jackson Hinkle and Haas, the two MAGA communists,
00:23:42.000 They've talked extensively about the Israel lobby, but when push comes to shove last week, they said there is no Jewish control.
00:23:50.000 They said the world is run by capitalists, not Jews. 0.60
00:23:55.000 Okay?
00:23:58.000 And 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.
00:24:13.000 One of them doesn't.
00:24:16.000 So what you find with these left-wingers is that they draw the line
00:24:23.000 At their ideological liberal opposition to what is specifically happening in Israel.
00:24:30.000 I would contend that probably a lot of them want to see reparations for black people.
00:24:35.000 I would contend that a lot of them would want to see reparations for Indians, for Native Americans in the United States, or American Indians.
00:24:43.000 And I think also they would have no problem with an American elite dominated by progressive Jews. 0.76
00:24:51.000 Because on some level, they agree with the Jews. 0.95
00:24:57.000 And this is the most important thing to understand.
00:24:59.000 You 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.
00:25:10.000 The Jews in the United States push liberalism. 0.95
00:25:13.000 It is well documented that they are the proponents of almost every major liberal political movement in the history of the United States.
00:25:21.000 And they're very clear about their intention.
00:25:23.000 They're very clear about why they do that.
00:25:26.000 And it's very simple.
00:25:28.000 Also, their stated intention, which is simple and easy to understand, is that the more tolerant the United States is,
00:25:39.000 The safer that Jews will feel. 0.52
00:25:43.000 And it's also eminently understandable why they do that.
00:25:48.000 But that is the case.
00:25:50.000 They were the author of the melting pot narrative.
00:25:54.000 They wrote the Lazarus poem on the Statue of Liberty.
00:25:58.000 They pushed for the Establishment Clause and the removal of prayer in schools and the firm distinction between church and state.
00:26:06.000 They pushed for all these things because
00:26:09.000 The 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. 0.95
00:26:30.000 If America is all one race and all one religion, or mostly those things, they stick out like a sore thumb.
00:26:37.000 And their conspicuousness has always been a source of insecurity for them.
00:26:43.000 It's that they stand out.
00:26:45.000 They've always stood out.
00:26:47.000 Their hats, their customs, their tribal
00:26:51.000 We're good to go.
00:27:07.000 Which has made them a target, which has made them visible and therefore able to be targeted and generated resentment.
00:27:14.000 So 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.
00:27:32.000 There'd be nothing in itself, there'd be nothing per se wrong with that.
00:27:37.000 And 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.
00:27:56.000 And that is how they operate here.
00:27:58.000 In Israel, they are theocratic fascists.
00:28:02.000 So in the United States, they would say, you know, you cannot have an autocratic, theocratic, Christian government in America because what about us?
00:28:11.000 We're 2%.
00:28:12.000 We would stick out like a sore thumb and we would be discriminated against.
00:28:17.000 In America.
00:28:19.000 In Israel, they are dropping the hammer on anyone that isn't Jewish.
00:28:24.000 They have an ethnic basis for citizenship.
00:28:26.000 In the last 50 years, they have transformed the state into a religious, identitarian state.
00:28:32.000 At one time, Israel was a labor or socialist regime.
00:28:36.000 Now it's like a fascist ethnostate built on a supremacist religion.
00:28:43.000 And none of them see the contradiction.
00:28:46.000 Well, I shouldn't say that.
00:28:47.000 Some of them do.
00:28:47.000 Some of them want a liberal government in Israel.
00:28:51.000 But I would say that after October 7th, there was certainly less, less of a difference of opinion on those things.
00:28:57.000 In 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. 0.70
00:29:07.000 But in Israel, he will say, we need to remove every ethnic Palestinian from the state of Israel.
00:29:15.000 So which is it?
00:29:16.000 In America, you know, it doesn't matter how brown it gets as long as you got the right idea. 0.96
00:29:21.000 In Israel, no brown people.
00:29:23.000 No brown people will be allowed. 1.00
00:29:25.000 I 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,
00:29:45.000 And anyway, so one doesn't fully understand what is happening unless you consider both sides of this.
00:29:54.000 The Bolshevik or liberal side and the Zionist side. 0.79
00:29:59.000 And a lot of these left-wing people, they only see one side of the equation.
00:30:03.000 They don't like that Israel is like murdering people for fun over there and using our government to do it. 0.99
00:30:10.000 But 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. 0.97
00:30:18.000 And 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. 0.93
00:30:30.000 It is the coherence and the familiarity of their society.
00:30:36.000 It's all people that they know.
00:30:37.000 I mean, and that's kind of the basis of fascism, is that a people united together on the basis of those kinds of commonalities.
00:30:47.000 Shared ethnicity, shared religion, shared culture, shared sense of nationhood.
00:30:52.000 When a group of people like that get together, they become very strong in the world.
00:30:58.000 They become disproportionately strong.
00:31:01.000 Whereas 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. 0.55
00:31:18.000 And 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.
00:31:29.000 It's that the United States should have a semblance of nationhood and identity like Israel. 0.88
00:31:34.000 Now, 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. 0.56
00:31:48.000 We have a wide open border.
00:31:49.000 We do things to ourselves that hurt our own country.
00:31:53.000 Let's start with not doing those things, you know?
00:31:59.000 But these ideological liberals, it's almost like they just want to make Israel as bad as America.
00:32:05.000 They want to bring all the problems that the Jews in exile have visited upon America, they want to bring that to Israel. 1.00
00:32:14.000 But that's wrong.
00:32:15.000 So we're not just against the Zionism. 0.90
00:32:20.000 Yes, we are against Jews having power. 1.00
00:32:23.000 We 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. 1.00
00:32:35.000 Now if a Jew converts to Christianity, I have no problem with that person having power. 0.89
00:32:40.000 If a Jewish person is bound to Christian law, then theoretically I have no problem with them being in power. 1.00
00:32:47.000 For example, if you have blasphemy laws, decency laws that are governing Hollywood, I think Jews actually make fine directors and artists.
00:32:56.000 It's just that many times the things that they make transgress certain boundaries that are inappropriate.
00:33:02.000 So, you know, that is where we are fundamentally distinct from these pro-Palestine liberal types.
00:33:12.000 I'm not Muslim. 0.94
00:33:13.000 I am Christian.
00:33:15.000 I am not a liberal, tree-hugging, bleeding heart.
00:33:18.000 I am a conservative.
00:33:19.000 I am basically borderline fascist.
00:33:21.000 I'm a reactionary.
00:33:23.000 I am illiberal.
00:33:24.000 I think that everyone in the country should have dignity.
00:33:27.000 I think everyone in the country should be treated with respect.
00:33:30.000 I think everyone should have equal rights.
00:33:32.000 But I think that the privilege to rule should be reserved for Christians. 1.00
00:33:41.000 And 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.
00:33:58.000 You 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.
00:34:16.000 Now, and I have no problem coming together with them on a contingent basis for the sake of what's happening in Gaza,
00:34:24.000 But, clearly, since that argument has been decided, now they want to come and beef with me because I'm not a fucking liberal.
00:34:33.000 But I'm not a fucking liberal.
00:34:35.000 So, you're exactly right.
00:34:37.000 You can have your feminism, and you can have your bleeding heart, and you can have your First Nations bullshit. 1.00
00:34:43.000 America won. 0.51
00:34:44.000 Indians lost. 1.00
00:34:47.000 No refunds.
00:34:49.000 I'm an American patriot.
00:34:51.000 I'm America first.
00:34:52.000 I am not a Muslim.
00:34:54.000 And I think Muslims are wrong. 1.00
00:34:56.000 I think Christians are right, and I think Muslims are wrong. 1.00
00:34:58.000 In fact, I know it.
00:34:59.000 We are right.
00:35:01.000 So, that's the difference.
00:35:03.000 And, you know, so be it.
00:35:06.000 If they're ready to just drop the, they don't want to have a coalition, then fine.
00:35:12.000 But that's where we stand.
00:35:12.000 That's always where I've stood.
00:35:14.000 I don't think I've ever made, I don't think I've ever given anyone anything, any impression other than that.
00:35:21.000 So, anyway, that's that.
00:35:25.000 But I want to move on.
00:35:26.000 We're going to get into our news.
00:35:27.000 And that's an important distinction to make.
00:35:30.000 So our first story, we'll talk about this Transgender Day of Visibility.
00:35:34.000 You know, Joe Biden declared that Easter Sunday was going to be a Transgender Day of Visibility, which many people were quick to criticize.
00:35:45.000 In fairness to Biden, apparently this day is always on March 31st, and so it happened to fall on Easter this year.
00:35:53.000 I don't think that excuses it, but it is important to acknowledge the details.
00:36:00.000 So this is a story.
00:36:01.000 This is from CNN.
00:36:03.000 It 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.
00:36:15.000 The 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.
00:36:29.000 The date of Easter, meanwhile, changes from year to year.
00:36:33.000 Which I'm a little confused what he means by that.
00:36:35.000 I mean I get broadly what he means but
00:37:04.000 Is the central tenet of Easter like, don't be transgender? 0.99
00:37:07.000 I don't know.
00:37:07.000 That's like a weirdly specific thing to say.
00:37:10.000 Obviously it's an extremely sinful thing to promote on Easter, but...
00:37:17.000 The central, maybe the central point is like we have to repudiate sin like transgenderism I suppose, but anyway. 1.00
00:37:24.000 White 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.
00:37:35.000 Sadly, politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric.
00:37:41.000 President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or profit.
00:37:48.000 So, I mean, whatever.
00:37:50.000 I put out on my telegram this weekend that if you are focused on that, you're kind of missing the point.
00:37:59.000 Because it's Easter Sunday.
00:38:02.000 It doesn't matter what anybody says.
00:38:05.000 That'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.
00:38:14.000 I obviously understand why people are upset, but for me, all these kind of clickbaity type things, I always just roll my eyes.
00:38:22.000 I'm like,
00:38:23.000 It's another.
00:38:24.000 Every other day is Holocaust Remembrance Day, Trans Day, Gay Day, Women's Day, Abortion Day.
00:38:31.000 You know, so it doesn't really phase me.
00:38:33.000 The one thing that I will say about this, I mean, and obviously it goes without saying, it is extremely sacrilegious.
00:38:40.000 It is an extreme slap in the face.
00:38:43.000 Easter Sunday is the holiest day of the year, and they make it about one of the most repulsive sins.
00:38:49.000 And one of the most abominable things that's going on in the country today.
00:38:55.000 So of course I understand that.
00:38:57.000 Of course, that's my view.
00:39:01.000 But what I will say about this is that there are days like this every year.
00:39:08.000 And there is a nearly constant promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism. 0.97
00:39:14.000 And I think on the right wing, people are coming around.
00:39:16.000 I think it's getting better.
00:39:18.000 But for so long, conservatives have been totally unwilling to repudiate these things in themselves.
00:39:26.000 In other words, when it came to something like gay marriage, eventually conservatives just gave up.
00:39:33.000 And they fully embraced it.
00:39:35.000 I saw Tucker Carlson say on his show a couple of years ago, he said basically, gay marriage is fine.
00:39:41.000 The problem is transgenders. 1.00
00:39:44.000 The problem is when you make a Christian bake a cake. 1.00
00:39:48.000 And this is the kind of thing that I've talked about for years.
00:39:52.000 Which is that conservatives seem to not, in principle, be opposed to these kinds of things reigning in our country.
00:40:02.000 Conservatives have normalized and tolerated pornography, transgenderism, feminism, homosexuality, a number of things, contraceptives, all of that.
00:40:16.000 And 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.
00:40:29.000 So, conservatives, it's not that they're against Transgender Visibility Day, they're against it on Easter.
00:40:36.000 But 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.
00:40:47.000 That's your prerogative.
00:40:48.000 This is a free country.
00:40:50.000 And this is why we have lost the country.
00:40:55.000 Because we've ceded society to evil people and to evil things.
00:41:00.000 Things that are wrong.
00:41:01.000 Instead of conservatives getting up there and saying this is wrong,
00:41:06.000 They get up there and say, well, it's not my cup of tea.
00:41:10.000 So 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.
00:41:30.000 And you need to respect our holiday.
00:41:33.000 You can have the transgender holiday next week. 1.00
00:41:38.000 And this is why we have Black History Month and Holocaust Day and Women's Day and this day and that day. 0.88
00:41:45.000 And 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,
00:41:58.000 Then this is the ideology that will rule.
00:42:00.000 I mean, what would be the argument against transgenders getting a transgender surgery?
00:42:04.000 I saw Alex Jones say this.
00:42:06.000 I'm giving some examples.
00:42:07.000 I saw Alex Jones say this last year.
00:42:11.000 He went to some free speech convention.
00:42:12.000 They asked him about transgenders.
00:42:14.000 He said, well, I'm a libertarian, basically, so I think you can go and kill yourself if you want and you can get transgender surgery. 1.00
00:42:22.000 You just gotta be 18.
00:42:25.000 And that seems to be where conservatives stand.
