00:20:05.000They're supposed to be the big military strike on Iran.
00:20:08.000Apparently at the same time that the president canceled the military strike, airstrike, whatever that was going to look like, he authorized a cyber attack to happen at the same time.
00:20:19.000So we'll talk about that and generally what's happening with Iran.
00:20:28.000Let's say neoconservative tricks trying to get us into war.
00:20:32.000For example, I was reading an article from the Jerusalem Post today, and the article talks about how, well, a couple of years ago there was this Iranian plot to blow up the city of Paris, and nobody knows about it, and the only people reporting about it are this shady publication, some Arab publication in France, but it definitely happened, and maybe we should go to war with Iran because of it.
00:21:01.000That's how it goes, so... We'll talk about Iran, and then if we have time, we will talk about... I think we will.
00:21:07.000We'll talk about this Bernie Sanders plan to cancel student debt, which I know on our side, a lot of people are excited about that.
00:21:15.000I am... I have some reservations about this.
00:21:18.000You know, of course, on the nationalist right, populist economics dictates that, well, a government stimulus that bails out young people, particularly Millennials and Zoomers, Generation Z, for their student debt, which is choking them, basically, which is hurting their financial future and prospects, well, it's a good thing when that gets canceled.
00:21:39.000It's gonna cost 1.6 trillion dollars, but, you know, that's a good thing.
00:21:43.000And the Sanders plan differentiates itself from Elizabeth Warren and others because it's
00:22:57.000When everybody's graduating, and they have a negative net worth, and they still don't have a job, and all they have is a stupid piece of paper, they wasted four years, I was banking on being able to say, well, ha, you dummy, you went to college, you were stupid and irresponsible, I was smart, I have a huge brain, and I made it, you know, as a YouTuber, in the cutthroat world of politics, I went up against
00:23:21.000Them, and I made it out anyway, and now it doesn't even matter?
00:23:25.000Now I, through my taxes, are bailing them out?
00:23:58.000Before we get into it, I do just want to say, if you didn't get a chance to watch it last night, I did do a debate with my old pal.
00:24:06.000You know, for people that say I'm racist or something, or don't believe about my African heritage, I had a debate with my old pal, my old African-American
00:24:25.000We had about 3,000 people watching live last night, and we debated whether or not Trump was doing a good job on the border, and we debated about Israeli influence in politics.
00:24:37.000And, you know, I don't even know if I recommend that you watch it.
00:24:40.000It was like three hours, and it was just so painful.
00:24:44.000Honestly, I have to tell you, we like the debates on the show.
00:24:48.000Don't get me wrong, everybody likes the debates.
00:25:02.000How many times is it just gonna be me walking in, easy victory.
00:25:07.000It's like just painful to listen to the other guy talk.
00:25:10.000You know, so we need a new class of debaters.
00:25:12.000The problem is nobody who is of note, nobody who is established, wants to debate because either they know they're gonna lose or I'm like, you know, radioactive because of my politics or something, you know?
00:25:25.000But I'm just in the debate last night and I'm thinking to myself before, during, and after, like, what am I doing?
00:25:48.000repeatedly, well, Israel's our closest ally and, you know, their interests are our interests and all this and, you know, I'm talking about the USS Liberty and all that.
00:27:45.000I do a show every night and a premium show on Sunday, sometimes.
00:27:49.000But I do a show, I do some form of a stream, like, almost every day of the week.
00:27:53.000Some days seven, some days six days of the week.
00:27:55.000And people are always like, well, but we want gaming streams, we want other streams on top of this.
00:28:00.000And I was planning on doing a gaming stream this morning and it's just, it's always something.
00:28:04.000You know, I was doing the show last week and what happened, like, YouTube had
00:28:09.000A site-wide outage for live streaming and before that it was my own computer difficulties or it was you know stream labs or something and then today I go to do my gaming stream for people that are wondering what happened and my internet service provider has this outage you know I'm checking it's not just my computer it's my phone it's a TV so I end up figuring out well it's got to be you know the service provider so no gaming stream
00:28:33.000So it's just, you know, it's just a rough weekend.
00:28:35.000It's just, be kind in the super chats, because Nick are really going through a lot right now.
00:28:54.000Like I said at the top of the show, his plan, which is pretty striking compared to the others, is a complete and total elimination of all student loan debt.
00:29:04.000I think it's like 40 million, 45 million people that get their student loan debt wiped.
00:29:10.000It says, quote, Senator Bernie Sanders offered up a plan on Monday to completely eliminate the student loan debt of every American staking out uncharted territory in the Democratic presidential primary.
00:29:20.000The new legislation would cancel $1.6 trillion of student loan, undergraduate and graduate debt for approximately 45 million people.
00:29:31.000His ambitious plan has no eligibility limitations and would be paid for with a new tax on Wall Street speculation.
00:29:38.000Sanders also talked about his detailed roadmap centered on new taxes on Wall Street to raise the $2.2 trillion necessary to pay for this program and other college funding plans which would include like universal secondary education.
00:29:53.000It will include a 0.5% tax on stock trades or 50 cents for every $100 worth of stock.
00:30:00.000A .1% fee on bonds and a .005% fee on derivatives.
00:30:05.000Sanders believes that could raise more than $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years.
00:30:10.000So, again, we have to look at this, I think, uncritically from a populist perspective and say that in a lot of ways these kinds of plans that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are proposing are good for the economy.
00:30:23.000You know, I think it's very important for conservatives in this era, after Trump has gotten elected,
00:30:29.000To really rethink a lot of our assumptions about economics.
00:30:32.000I know maybe a lot of people that watch this show understand some of these arguments, but people that are newer to the show or people that are more conventional in their thinking, they're more free market minded, libertarian minded conservatives.
00:30:44.000Those people really have to rethink their assumptions about the way the economy works.
00:30:48.000Because, of course, I'm watching Fox News today.
00:30:51.000I'm actually, like, doubled over in stomach pain watching Fox News because I got, like, a cheeseburger from the shady diner.
00:31:39.000And you can even go back to old shows on America First.
00:31:42.000Relatively recently, I would say about a year ago, where I was one of the people saying, well, we do have to remember that the federal debt is an important consideration.
00:31:52.000That is in many ways an existential threat to the country.
00:31:55.000The fact that we have $21-$22 trillion in debt, over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, we've got deficits that are in no way coming down in the next 5, 10, 20 years, anything like that, right?
00:32:09.000And so, very recently I was in this mentality where I would say that the debt is really a problem.
00:32:15.000You know, then again, we look at the double standard, and this is to me what is so striking.
00:32:19.000Conservatives are out there, and they're out there in full force against Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, against these kinds of proposals because they say, well, we don't have the money, or that's socialism, it's too much, we already have a debt.
00:32:34.000But it's fascinating, the double standard, because at once, what are the same people, the exact same people calling for just this weekend?
00:32:44.000Sean Hannity, you know of all people, who I know some people watch this show like, I don't think he's the worst guy in the world, but Sean Hannity just this weekend is saying, well you've got radical Islamists, a nuclear bomb, and that's going to cause a second holocaust.
00:32:57.000So basically we have to go to war in Iran.
00:32:59.000What do you think a war in Iran would cost?
00:33:08.000They estimate that by the end of it, these wars in the Middle East between Afghanistan and Iraq will cost us something like six to ten trillion dollars.
00:33:15.000War in Iran would be easily that much.
00:33:47.000And we're told that the government can't do anything about it, anything substantive or direct or actionable, because it costs too much money.
00:33:54.000And those very same people are advocating for a $3 trillion war in the Middle East.
00:33:58.000The very same people were in favor of the bank bailouts.
00:34:02.000And, you know, this is a left-wing talking point.
00:34:03.000We remember this from, like, Occupy Wall Street.
00:34:06.000This is the argument Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren used that, well, you know, we bailed the banks out.
00:34:12.000The way the free market is supposed to work,
00:34:15.000Is it the welfare, the debt spending, the deficit spending?
00:34:19.000That is totally okay when it goes to big corporations, banks, business owners, it goes to defense contractors.
00:34:27.000When it goes towards that, well, that's just how it goes.
00:34:31.000When it goes to big agriculture in the form of subsidies, when it goes to big oil in the form of subsidies, or things like that, when it goes towards defense contractors for war or bailouts, well, that's just
00:34:43.000The way things go, you know, that's what America needs to do.
00:34:47.000But when it comes to stimulus for, you know, cutting taxes, when it comes towards, and I'm talking about for the middle class as opposed to corporations, when it comes to stimulus in the form of education, healthcare, things like that, well suddenly we want no part of that.
00:35:00.000And so that's just to say, that's just to say that in principle, and this is only in principle on this one point, stimulus for students is not necessarily a bad thing.
00:35:09.000The question of how you go about it is another story entirely.
00:35:12.000So I'll say at the outset, a $1.6 trillion price tag to relieve students of their debt is not what is offensive to me.
00:35:21.000What is offensive to me is the fact that there's no eligibility requirements.
00:35:24.000What offends me is that there's no qualifications for this.
00:35:28.000Certainly we know that some students are maybe more deserving of loan forgiveness than others.
00:35:34.000And so, to me, I see a plan where it says, well, blanket loan forgiveness for 45 million people, and it's instant, it's in six months, that's when I say, okay, that's a little extreme.
00:36:33.000You know, everybody who I know who ridiculed me for dropping out of college, well, now you have to pay for your student loan debt, okay?
00:36:39.000You love college so much, that was so important to you, getting your education.
00:36:43.000Well, those people, you know, maybe they have to check a box on a questionnaire or something with a lie detector test.
00:36:49.000Those people have to pay, but, you know, maybe other people.
00:36:52.000I don't know exactly what the qualifications would be, but I think
00:36:54.000There's got to be some kind of eligibility.
00:36:56.000There has to be maybe some kind of a plan where it's reduced but it's not totally forgiven because at the end of the day you know aside from just the deficit concerns which I think we can all agree are probably silly and hypocritical
00:37:27.000We say that's usury and obviously a sin and problematic.
00:37:31.000But that is the way the economy works.
00:37:33.000And so people paying back their loans, having responsibility for the money they take out, and it just not being free money, that's kind of critical.
00:37:41.000So I would say, you know, in general, it's a good idea.
00:37:45.000We should have some kind of relief for young people, for families, people who get married, people with children.
00:37:50.000But this sort of blanket approach, no eligibility, seems like no oversight, anything like that.
00:37:55.000I think that's excessive and poses a lot of problems.
00:37:59.000Maybe one way you could do it is say, well, if you get married and have kids,
00:38:06.000I think we can look across to Europe and we can see in Hungary there are similar proposals like this where insofar as you have a certain amount of children, insofar as you have a certain family arrangement, they're willing to cut your tax burden, they're willing to give you stimulus, they're willing to do all kinds of things.
00:38:22.000And I think that's the way we have to be thinking about economics.
00:38:25.000Maybe instead of this sort of universalist like
00:38:29.000Socialist mentality of, well, it's free college and free money for everybody.
00:38:33.000Instead, we have to think about the economy as a tool and using the economy as a tool to get outcomes in the society that we want.
00:38:41.000And so instead of saying, well, school should be a right.
00:38:48.000I don't think that's why we should give stimulus, why we should give loans.
00:38:51.000I think we should take the concept but apply it towards our own aims, which is
00:38:56.000How do we create a more traditional, structured, family-based society?
00:39:00.000And so maybe instead of saying, well everybody gets it, you know, graduate students, you'll get, I'm sure a lot of very particular types of graduate students will be beneficiaries of this.
00:39:09.000Instead of that, subsidizing the rootless elites in all these cities, people working at BuzzFeed.
00:39:36.000Evolving away from the conventional Ayn Rand libertarian platform, we should take that concept and maybe nullify a lot of these arguments about the deficit and the debt, but we have to take them and manipulate them, I think, into our own goals.
00:39:50.000Take them and channel them into our own worldview, which I think you see in Orban, you see in a lot of these leaders in Eastern Europe or in Central Europe with Salvini.
00:39:59.000It's a good idea in principle, but in practice, I think this policy is a little bit messed up.
00:40:04.000So if Trump came out, for example, in 2020 and said, well, I'll forgive student loans too for families or something like that, that I think would be the appropriate counter to this kind of policy as opposed to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps, you know, no, no free ride for millennials.
00:40:20.000There's no such thing as a free lunch and this kind of stuff from baby boomers.
00:40:25.000But that's Bernie Sanders, that's college student loan debt.
00:40:28.000It's a very important thing going into 2020 because we are changing the party.
00:40:33.000We have to rethink, relearn what we know about the economy from a right-wing perspective.
00:40:38.000Now, on a more of a solemn note, we have to move on and talk about the situation with Iran.
00:40:44.000You know, again, we've been covering this for a couple of weeks now, this latest
00:40:49.000I guess system or series of escalating tensions began a couple of weeks ago.
00:40:54.000It was not last Thursday, but the Thursday before that we saw it was two oil tankers blown up in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:41:01.000We know how the rest of the story goes.
00:41:03.000Nobody really knows who is responsible.
00:41:05.000We say, of course, it was the Iranians, the Japanese, who owned one of the tankers.
00:41:10.000The Japanese government say, well, we have no idea who it was and it probably wasn't the Iranians.
00:41:15.000If you're saying it's the Iranians, that's pretty suspicious.
00:41:18.000Nevertheless, in response to that, America deployed warships, 1,500 additional troops to the Middle East, drones flying overhead, one of which last week was shot down by the Iranians, an unmanned spy drone, shot down by the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, because they say
00:41:45.000In response to this, there was supposed to be a big military strike last week.
00:41:48.000Trump called it off and instead he's done some other things.
00:41:52.000So I'll read you these are a couple of reports here.
00:41:55.000From various sources from CNN from Democracy Now talking about what the president has done in response to the drone downing instead of doing the military strike.
00:42:04.000So one of the things he did was a cyber attack.
00:42:09.000It says the United States military launched cyber attacks against Iranian missile control systems and a spy network on Thursday after Tehran downed an American surveillance drone according to US officials.
00:42:21.000After the drone's downing, Trump secretly authorized U.S.
00:42:23.000Cyber Command to carry out a retaliatory attack on Iran.
00:42:27.000The cyber attacks, a contingency plan developed over two weeks amid escalating tensions, disabled Iranian computer systems that controlled its rocket and missile launchers.
00:43:06.000Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he signed an executive order imposing hard-hitting sanctions on Iran that will deny Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei his office and many others access to financial instruments.
00:43:19.000So we've got some new measures, and I will say that this is a bit of a white pill, you know, because I know a lot of people thought, and we on the show, we're clickbaiting people into believing this, that we were on the brink of World War III, and we're gonna go to war with Iran, it was Iraq 2.0, and all this stuff, and I think this is the appropriate way to use American policy.
00:43:38.000And I don't think we have much to say about this more than what we said last week on Friday or on Thursday, but
00:43:47.000This is the America First strategy because it is true, and I think we talked about this a little bit in my debate with Black Candy with R.C.
00:43:55.000Maxwell last night, Iran does pose a legitimate threat to American interests in the region.
00:44:01.000That's not to say it's an existential threat, that's not to say it's a priority threat, an urgent threat, or anything like that.
00:44:08.000However, we know that the Islamic regime in Iran is hostile to America and hostile to our interests, whether that be our financial interests, our strategic interests in the region, which would be maintaining regional hegemony, and things like this.
00:44:30.000And this is what Trump said last week.
00:44:32.000Why he didn't go through with the strike?
00:44:34.000Well, shooting down an unmanned robot, shooting down an unmanned drone, which isn't even armed, it would not be a proportionate response to basically commit an act of war and kill 150 people.
00:45:01.000I honestly think this is the right approach.
00:45:03.000And again, we have to walk sort of a fine line between this false dichotomy of either total endless war everywhere for Israel or complete isolationism.
00:45:13.000We do have legitimate interests in the region.
00:45:15.000Obviously Iran shooting down our drone, whether
00:45:38.000Sanctions of using our military as leverage, basically using our allies and our media as leverage to, you know, sort of do this political theater type thing, which we've been talking about for a couple of years.
00:45:49.000If that brings about an outcome that's favorable to our national interests, which would be either that Iran comes to the table and agrees to a far-reaching deal that says that they're not gonna develop nuclear weapons, they won't continue to develop missile technology, they'll stop spreading, you know, their militias and proxies across the region and things like this.
00:46:07.000If that can be achieved simply through sanctions, simply through economic or cyber means or things like this, what's the problem, right?
00:46:14.000And in the same case, you know, we saw this with Venezuela or North Korea.
00:46:18.000Using American leverage and power in these smart, inexpensive, cost-effective ways, I think that's what America first looks like.
00:46:26.000Eventually, American power will wane relative to other powers.
00:46:30.000We look at China rising in the Pacific.
00:46:33.000We look at Russia, which is not rising, but consolidating after the Soviet Union and the disaster of democratization in the 1990s.
00:46:41.000We see that American power will wane relative to other countries in the coming years, and we'll have a smaller role, a weakened role in these areas, but for now, I think it's worth it.
00:46:51.000I know there's a lot of people that have this mentality that anytime we exercise our military might or financial might or anything like that, it's intrinsically a bad thing because we're violating the national sovereignty of countries, or we're coercing people, or it's American empire, we have no business there.
00:47:08.000I fundamentally don't buy these arguments.
00:47:10.000I think that America, like it or not, is a global empire.
00:48:23.000We have to support Iran, or we have to oppose American interests abroad, because American interests is, you know, we can equate that to the interests of, you know, shadowy financial institutions internationally, or we can equate that to Israel, or things like that.
00:48:37.000And therefore, we should support these bad regimes.
00:48:41.000You know, I hear a lot of these arguments that, well, Venezuela is actually based in Redfield, or North Korea, and Juche is actually really based and great and everything.
00:48:50.000And it's funny because, and you know, understand what I mean by this, those same people will wave the Confederate flag, and they'll defend the Robert E. Lee monument.
00:48:58.000And of course, what is the story of Robert E. Lee?
00:49:00.000Somebody who didn't care for the cause of the Confederacy, but defended it nonetheless because it was his homeland?
00:49:06.000And so that might seem unrelated, but the principle is the same.
00:49:09.000I see America, you know, like it or not, whatever is going on in politics and things like that,
00:49:16.000I'm not going to cheer for people that burn the flag.
00:49:19.000I'm not going to cheer for communists.
00:49:21.000I'm not going to cheer for totalitarians.
00:49:23.000I don't mean that, I don't intend for that to sound boomers, to sound boomer-ish.
00:49:28.000I'm not thrilled about what's happening in our own country, but I just feel like American interests being served overseas, that's sort of one of those first principles that if you don't agree with that, well, we're not going to share the same foreign policy.
00:49:42.000America is our country and our country, you know, they're extending our interests even if at the time It's a little bit paused at the time.
00:49:50.000It's a little bit nefarious You know, I think that we're on the same page if you disagree with that.
00:49:54.000Well, then of course, it's it's a diametrically opposed view
00:50:38.000You can talk in this kind of language about just about every other group, but you have anything like less than totally positive to say about this group.
00:50:57.000But in any case, if you think I'm one of these people, like RC says, look no further than this article in the Jerusalem Post, which I saw today on Twitter.
00:51:09.000It says, quote, half a ton of explosives was brought to Paris in a diplomatic suitcase in order to carry out a terror attack before being foiled by French authorities.
00:51:21.000The British newspaper, Independent in Arabic,
00:51:25.000Quoted an intelligence source as saying that in 2018, Iran had delivered half a ton of TATP explosives in diplomatic packages to a civilian plane that was supposed to be transferred to Paris to carry out an attack in the city.
00:51:39.000According to the report, the plane arrived from Tehran to Geneva in June 2018 following an Iranian plan to carry out a terrorist attack during a meeting of the Iranian opposition.
00:51:50.000According to a report based on intelligence sources,
00:51:54.000More great intelligence from these people, right?
00:51:57.000The attack was supposed to be carried out by an Iranian intelligence official who worked at the Iranian embassy in Austria since 2014.
00:52:05.000But French intelligence thwarted the attack after the authorities arrested a Belgian couple of Iranian origin who had the explosives in their car on their way to Paris.
00:52:14.000And you read that, you know, if a layperson reads that, they would say, oh my gosh, the Iranians are doing terrorism on our soil.
00:52:21.000The Iranians are causing terrorism on Western, you know, European or American soil.
00:53:53.000The Iranians have never attacked us, but now that I read this, I understand the threat that they pose.
00:53:57.000Iranian proxies behind every bush, around every corner, in every alleyway, always constantly trying to blow us up and shoot us and kill us.
00:54:06.000Well, we have to attack Iran now, now that I've read this.
00:56:11.000I want you to be Ben Shapiro and I really think that'll be inspirational for you and maybe you could work for us.
00:56:16.000I went to Leadership Institute and did a job training and all this and got kicked out because I was racist.
00:56:21.000Because I came in the first day and said, well, you know, the people is what matters in Europe and things like this.
00:56:28.000And so I could just never hack it because I could never get into the mentality of running interference for such an evil thing going on in the world today, which is people who are clearly coming to our country, they do not have our best interests in mind, they occupy powerful institutions, and they lie us into wars where our people die.
00:56:47.000You know, it's very... I think a lot of people think it's just a game.
00:56:51.000To a certain extent, a lot of people in DC think it's just sort of this game that is played.
00:56:56.000It's a high stakes, fast lane, political game that we're playing.
00:57:00.000You know, you could even hear in the debate last night with RC, or with any of these people, it's very collegiate, it's very formal.
00:57:07.000This is to them like discussing football.
00:57:09.000But, you know, it's not a game for people to get their arms and legs exploded because they go to Iraq to defend freedom or something, you know?
00:57:15.000It's not a game to people who lose their father, their uncle, brother, you know, people that die in wars.
00:57:20.000People will never be the same after that.
00:57:22.000And, you know, I'm not the one to go, you know, full hog on the troops and this kind of stuff.
00:57:27.000We understand where there's some skepticism about when that's used to get us into wars and things, but, you know, it's not a game for people that are directly involved.
00:57:36.000But we're being lied into these things constantly.
00:57:38.000by people who have no remorse and much worse than the people that come here from Israel and do it or have a dual allegiance that do it there are people who are American who have no allegiance to that country but do it because they get paid but they do it because that's how you get play in Washington DC and to me that's the most sickening thing of all you know and that's what we all have to take a stand and acknowledge but
00:58:34.000They said they expected a lot of collateral damage, which would be other illegal immigrants not being targeted in this raid being deported as well.
00:58:41.000And I saw a lot of people getting their hopes up and saying, well, this is great.
00:58:47.000And my perspective on Friday was, well, it's a start, but $2,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to our monthly totals of illegal immigration.
00:58:57.000$2,000 is less than how many illegal immigrants come into the country on a daily basis.
00:59:23.000Illegal immigrants in the country people say something like 23 26 million are the best Estimates so you've got 23 to 26 million illegal immigrants in the country already and it's growing by a thousand every day That's if ice is deporting 2,000 people every day if there were ice raids like this happening on a daily basis Which would be impossible.
00:59:44.000So just think about the scale of these problems So I said, you know, it's like I said, it's a start
00:59:50.000We're not anywhere close to what we need to be doing.
00:59:52.000Trump said it's going to be in the millions.
00:59:54.000Two thousand is a pretty far cry from one million, let alone millions, right?
00:59:58.000But so, in any case, it got worse from there.
01:00:01.000President Trump tweeted this weekend, quote,
01:00:20.000I want to give the Democrats every last chance to quickly negotiate simple changes to asylum and loopholes.
01:00:27.000This will fix the southern border, together with the help that Mexico is now giving us.
01:00:31.000Probably won't happen, but worth a try.
01:00:36.000So let's just do the math on this, okay?
01:00:38.000Two weeks, 14 days, 3,000 legal immigrants per day, because we've got about 100,000 coming in in the month of June, so 100,000 divided by 30 is, what is that, about 3,000 or something?
01:01:22.000So the president's been office for two years, but in the time from when these deportations were expected to commence, which was this weekend, until when they're going to, allegedly, in two weeks you'll have 20 times the amount of people come in that you've deported.
01:04:00.000He will be able to say, well, but I tried, but remember, but don't you remember I shut down the government for the longest time ever and I threatened tariffs on Mexico and I threatened the ICE deportations, but the Democrats just wouldn't let me do it.
01:04:14.000And all these gullible MAGA voters, a good chunk of them will say,
01:04:22.000He threatened deportations and that creates leverage so that... I used to believe this stuff.
01:04:27.000I think I believed it when it was reasonable to believe this, when he'd only been in office for so long.
01:04:34.000I think a lot of the failures were justifiable on these grounds, but it happens like 15 times, and then you start to say, okay, maybe it's just by design.
01:04:44.000Maybe it was never intended to succeed in the first place, because if it was, we would see a different follow-through.
01:04:49.000If, for example, the government shutdown were intended to succeed, he wouldn't have signed Mitch McConnell's federal spending bill.
01:04:54.000He would have said, let's just let it keep going in perpetuity.
01:04:58.000If he were actually serious about getting Mexico to do something meaningful on the border, he would have actually let the tariffs go into effect.
01:05:04.000He would have said, actually tariffs are going to go into effect tomorrow, and they will continue to grow, and maybe I'll wait a period of time before I even hear Mexican diplomats try to explain to me why we should stop the tariffs.
01:05:16.000You know, but the tariffs didn't even go into effect, let alone go on until October and go up to 25%.
01:05:30.000And on top of that, even better, they say that maybe one reason why the deportations were delayed had nothing to do with immigration or, you know, this BS.
01:05:40.000I hope Republicans and Democrats will work together.
01:05:45.000There's a rumor, this is according to Democracy Now,
01:05:50.000Some media reports claim that the delay was actually prompted by a leak by acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan or his staff, which could have compromised the plan.
01:06:02.000So basically what they're saying is that maybe it had nothing to do with Republicans and Democrats negotiating on immigration, but actually ICE could not pull off the raid because the current DHS secretary leaked all the details about it and compromised the raid by virtue of revealing some of the information.
01:06:20.000And so this just goes back to another one of the problems in the administration, which is the personnel.
01:06:25.000I remember a lot of people telling me, oh, McAleenan's actually really great on DHS.
01:06:29.000Everybody wanted Chris Kobach to replace Nielsen as the Secretary of DHS and oversee ICE and the border and things like this.
01:06:37.000And people reassured me, no, McAleenan's a good pick.
01:06:41.000And now we have a report that he actually foiled the ICE deportations, and maybe that's why they're being delayed.
01:06:46.000So, another solvable problem in this administration.
01:06:49.000Either way, this guy's just not serious about it.
01:06:51.000I can't in good conscience say that we're all aboard the Trump train, you know, and look, there's good and bad.
01:06:58.000Like there is in any administration, like there is in any person, really.
01:07:02.000You know, the stuff on Iran is good, the stuff on trade has been generally good, but immigration is just such an abysmal failure.
01:07:09.000It's an irredeemable failure on immigration, and every time we give him an opportunity to do better, every time we give him the benefit of the doubt or we say, well, maybe if this works out, maybe in a few months, well, it's possible that something will happen, every time we give him room,
01:08:16.000So hopefully, you know, I imagine maybe next week
01:08:20.000I'll have a fresh haircut, maybe I'll get my eyebrows done, I'll get shaved, maybe there'll be some good news, I'll start going to the gym, lose a little bit of weight, and then the show will just... and then the show will be white pelt.
01:08:31.000You know, I have a feeling once we get our affairs in order, maybe the universe will reward us, maybe there'll be some sunny stories, and then we'll be good.
01:08:38.000But now, it's like my hair's all grown out, I haven't shaved, my face is getting... is filling in, I'm...
01:08:46.000I'm turning into a chubster, I'm turning into a little chubby guy, skinny fat, immigration's failing, everything's falling apart, you know?
01:08:54.000So this is like, this is the worst, uh, the worst timeline, Nick.
01:08:57.000This is the darkest timeline, America First, right?
01:09:00.000And maybe, maybe by our own actions we could get back in the right timeline, but anyway, we're gonna check out the Super Chats here.
01:09:06.000We've got, uh, Brian King who says, here's a blessing to get you through tonight's super hard show.
01:09:41.000Well, you know, look, I don't like to do the ad hominems, but he was just so nasty last night.
01:09:45.000That's the thing, people start to lose, and then he just, with the green screen, and you dropped out of college, and all this.
01:09:51.000And it's like, you know, if those are the people that are behind Trump, unironically, like, yeah, I'm done.
01:09:57.000If people with such low moral character are backing the president, it just goes to show, you know, maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be.
01:10:05.000So, but you know, that's how it's gonna go.
01:10:07.000When I make it, people are gonna say... I think that's how it goes when people make it in anything.
01:10:12.000It's always, well, he had an advantage, or of course he made it, or something like that.
01:10:17.000But if or when I make it to the big leagues, when I'm on PewDiePie levels, okay?
01:10:22.000When I'm on Fox News, I'll be able to say, I started out with the green screen.
01:11:44.000really harry potter ringtone like what are you doing dude what are you doing that part i just couldn't get over i don't know what that was all about it pretty much says all you need to know right but that's a pretty accurate summary uh cc red says nick i am an alt tech dev with a potential solution to youtube censorship 120 hours of code put into this project and proof of concept are you interested in speaking on this if so how can i best reach you
01:12:27.000I guess I'll take a look at it, but I don't have any promises.
01:12:30.000Everybody's always just trying to sell me on something.
01:12:32.000Everybody's always just trying to sell me.
01:12:34.000That's part of the problem about being successful.
01:12:36.000I never realized that was a part of it.
01:12:39.000Real success, I think, is being able to just ignore people.
01:12:42.000Real success is being able to just... Maybe I was more successful a year ago when I was just doing my own thing, by myself, unbothered, you know?
01:12:52.000But then once you get a little bit more attention, it's everybody wants to sell you on their website, wants to sell you on why they should be on the show, or this or that.
01:13:02.000I appreciate, you know, the proposal and all that, but it's like, you know, I guess I'll take a look, but I don't know if, you know, any alt-tech startup is going to challenge YouTube anytime soon.
01:13:12.000I just really, and I've said this before, I have no faith, really, in alt-tech as a permanent solution, but I'll check it out.
01:13:20.000I'll see it if you send me an email, njfuencesblog at gmail.com.
01:13:23.000I'll take a look, no promises, but thanks for the Super Chat.
01:13:28.000Really good comics says been autistically getting stacks of white and black concrete blocks in Minecraft since 10 a.m I look up and it's already time for America first.
01:13:38.000I don't know when I blinked last Well many such cases.
01:14:58.000Not Mossad says why did you put a green blanket over your great penthouse view for the RC debate?
01:15:03.000Oh renovations Renovations, you know, I just had to put up a little tarp hide some of the activity that's going on behind me So that's we had to put up a like you said a green tarp, you know It's had to had to put that up against this beautiful backdrop of my penthouse apartment here in New York City
01:15:21.000So they kept calling it a green screen.
01:15:23.000I'm like, you mean this green tarp that I happen to have over my luxurious penthouse?
01:15:28.000I don't know what you're talking about.
01:15:29.000I'm pretty sure you're streaming from Bake Alaska's house.
01:15:33.000Reanne says I feel like Boston female firefighters would be a tougher matchup than RC.
01:15:37.000Yeah, I agree Well, RC was just so feminine to him the debate his whole debate tactic was feminine signaling It was like oh, um, I know you don't like have a college degree I know you're like not in the Wednesday meetings.
01:16:09.000That's really what, you know, these institutional actors are, is passive-aggressive, over-socialized, emasculated, effeminate slaves to the system.
01:16:18.000So he's got to break free of the plantation with that kind of stuff.
01:16:21.000You know, I was expecting in a debate with R.C.
01:16:22.000Maxwell, I was expecting, you know, in the...
01:16:26.000Metaphorically stab my arguments like with a spear, you know, I expected him to go full-on go You know extreme very vicious and you know sort of attack like, you know, cuz I thought he was um You know more of a tougher sort of a guy more of an upfront sort of a character.
01:16:43.000I expected like a very Tribal angry sort of a thing cuz that's that's where I'm at You know, that's where my blood is at my Aztec blood is apt and it was this just passive-aggressive bitchy gay like
01:16:55.000Well, you didn't go to school, so you didn't read this book.
01:16:59.000This is what we call linear argumentation.
01:18:15.000These are the ways you can maximize your potential to be saved, but who really knows, right?
01:18:21.000Some say I'll just say my name believe in me and that kind of thing some say it works and Catholics believe you have to be in a state of grace have to confess your sins and have to be without since maybe go to purgatory get cleaned up a little bit and then you get in but
01:20:39.000We were at this, uh, we were at this festival thing, and it was me, it was this group of people, like I said, from AIM and some others, and I assumed everybody that was in that group was, like, based in Red Pills.
01:20:50.000We were all talking, and there was this, of course...
01:20:53.000There was a girl there, and we had been talking about things, and it became apparent very quickly in our conversation that she was not based in Red Pill.
01:21:03.000You know, one of my buddies was saying something in the effect that, like, he was explaining why he wasn't going to vote for Trump about illegal immigration and all this, and this girl said something like, and I had assumed because it's a lot of, like, Red Pill, like, fashy goys hanging out, whatever you want to say, I'm being a little ironic there,
01:21:19.000That everybody there was in the know, and she starts saying, like, well, I have no problem with immigration as long as they come legally.
01:23:28.000I would probably say the um, I don't know I don't know enough about the relative size I'd say the gorilla probably I think it's probably stronger But I don't know.
01:23:39.000I mean the the polar bear has the claws
01:23:42.000So that's a very important feature there as well, right?
01:25:05.000Honestly, if there's a kid involved, I would say, and I don't know because I've never been in that situation, I don't know what the rules are for Catholics about that kind of thing.
01:25:15.000I don't know if it's permissible to divorce with that.
01:25:18.000But if you were to separate, I would wait until the kid's graduated.
01:26:26.000I think I believe more in the idea of fatalism history as opposed to great men theory Generally, I don't know.
01:26:34.000I haven't looked into a comprehensive study of history But I tend to think that it's really more people are subject to circumstance and history more than anything else
01:29:04.000Astarte says, with all these tricks and lies really makes one wonder about the usual suspects take on the world wars and what they're really all about.
01:29:11.000Wow, that's an amazing, original, fresh point.
01:29:16.000I guess it really makes you think, huh?
01:29:18.000I guess it makes you think about World War II, duh!
01:29:21.000wow thanks so much that's really a refreshing insight everybody's smarter for having heard that one and great emojis too i love that everything is just as it should be thank you baltic i can't i just can't take anymore i can't do it anymore guys i just it's time maybe it's time to move on to another realm perhaps for old nick i've had enough
01:30:15.000It's so frustrating because people literally refuse to actually engage with the ideas.
01:30:21.000It's like slamming your head against a brick wall because in the last so many debates I've done, people just don't even respond to the substance of what you're saying.
01:30:39.000Or with Destiny, you know, like that argument that I made about James Watts or whatever.
01:30:44.000That's Watson, who was barred from the Nobel Prize or whatever.
01:30:49.000I forget the whole story, but they kept misinterpreting my argument.
01:30:52.000It's like, you want to just blow your brains out after a debate like that.
01:30:55.000So, we'll have to find a better challenger next time.
01:30:59.000boss vivo says sitting in front of a green screen nationalism yeah sitting in front of a green screen griper the feel when sitting in front of a green screen sitting in front of a green screen me magic meth baby oh yes oh yeah nationalism meme nationalism i love that i love that meme skate posting says rcb like no ad hominems you basement dweller yeah wasn't that
01:31:27.000These people are just so frustrating, you know, he does the ad hominem is all debate and he's like Oh, well, you can't just do ad hominems when you have to argue and it's like really we're gonna pretend Many Freddy says realists run the film industry.
01:31:38.000Yeah Realists run the banking industry film media all that.
01:31:42.000Yeah realists like John Mearsheimer, right?
01:31:45.000Dumbass says your debates are a lot like the video games you play.
01:31:49.000One really overpowered guy annihilating everything in his path with ease.
01:33:33.000Desus says not everyone is as blessed smart as you Nick.
01:33:35.000Think of your average 18 year old student and how fleeceable they are.
01:33:39.000University departments over admit knowing full well what their department's employment rate is upon graduation.
01:33:46.000Yeah, but look, the thing is, it's not fair.
01:33:49.000It's not about what's right, it's about what's fair, okay?
01:33:53.000And I dropped out of college because I thought it was a waste of time and I didn't want to pay for it, and everybody else made fun of me for that, and now, you know, if they saw how I was doing, they would blow their brains out, because they have a negative net worth and they're still in school, and it's not fair that they just get their financial future, you know, or their financial mistakes erased, and I have to subsidize it.
01:35:20.000Let's see we got Hong Kong who says super chats be like hi I know you barely have any free time already but can you please dedicate all your time to my personal enjoyment love you big guy yeah I know that's how it goes right very inconsiderate but I get it you know people want more content everybody wants a piece of the old Nick so that's how it goes
01:38:32.000My youth, my good looks fading away, and I'm becoming an old man.
01:38:37.000And yeah, I certainly dwell on this pretty often.
01:38:40.000You know, 21st birthday coming up, and it's all over for me, basically.
01:38:45.000and then it's all over for me because you know become 21 and then you're 22 and then you're 23 and then you're 24 and then you're 25 and then you're closer to 30 than you are to 20 and then you are 30 and then you're 40 and then you're 50 and then your life is over and then you're dead okay and I just can't deal with that and your time has run out so maybe maybe I'll check that out interesting recommendation
01:39:46.000I had that one super chatter who would say, Nick is not a real virgin or things like this.
01:39:50.000And you know, it's so frustrating because all the people that are telling me, you're not out there being a degenerate, or you're actually out there being a degenerate, you're not making the sacrifice, are all fat and ugly.
01:40:00.000So all these people that are like, oh, you're not actually sacrificing, you're not doing anything.
01:40:05.000There are people who, let's be real, if they're not, you know, getting out there, if they're not putting themselves out there and being degenerate, it's not really a huge sacrifice, right?
01:40:15.000If you're a big, fat, ugly person, are you really saying that your sacrifice is on the same level as somebody like me?
01:40:52.000I'm all, you know, in the America first cabin in the woods, metaphorically.
01:40:56.000And I'm like, you know, and that's, it's fading away, fear of missing out and all that.
01:41:01.000But I guess, but I just, we have to sort of let go of these things we have to resign ourselves to.
01:41:08.000The temporality I guess of things of the material world.
01:41:12.000I guess that's how it goes But that's that's how I've been thinking lately Christopher says Nick CIA defector here again The CIA has been targeting you with their mind control machine side effects are itchy nose irritability and weight gain I check all those boxes.
01:41:29.000I actually, I don't think I've been gaining weight.
01:41:31.000I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I don't actually, I've weighed the same amount that I have for like the past five years since I was like a junior in high school.
01:41:41.000Maybe I weigh like five pounds more than I did when I was a junior in high school.
01:41:45.000So, uh, so I haven't, you know, as much as I try, and I do try, you see the way I eat, I've stayed the same.
01:42:14.000I'm going to be taking a vacation in July.
01:42:16.000I'm taking a week off in July, just telling you guys now, because I need to get away from the studio.
01:42:21.000It's driving me crazy, you know, the grind, the relentless demand for more new content.
01:42:26.000That's the thing that people don't realize.
01:42:27.000You never get a chance to catch your breath, because there are some days where I'm just so not feeling it.
01:42:32.000I just so don't have anything to say or something, but it's literally every day you got to come out with content.
01:42:39.000And you know, he just he just gets like relentless It's like being on the beach and just getting pounded with waves after waves and just doesn't stop, you know So I need to get away take a breather take a break get away from everything, you know So, uh, but yeah, we'll hang out the old dog Dumbasses does RC get loan forgiveness?
01:44:00.000yak says hey Nick didn't you once do an episode where you analyzed Evangelion I'm interested in your take on the show perhaps content for us premium knickers yeah maybe I don't think I ever did a whole show explaining it but I know I've responded to super chats about it in the past
01:46:35.000And it wasn't even, I know it sounds a certain way now, but it wasn't that charged, it wasn't that controversial, but the person that was leading that seminar was literally a Lebanese immigrant, and she said, he's racist for saying that, I'm torpedoing his application.
01:46:50.00014 day job training, 16 day job training and I didn't stand a chance after day one but they made me stay for the whole time.
01:46:58.000They made me stay and do these 10 hour long training sessions and sleep in these bunk beds in this dorm where they didn't have any cell reception and I had all these things going on at home they had to tend to at the time.
01:47:10.000I left my job to join there and I didn't even stand a chance after the first day.
01:49:38.000Citing Mearsheimer, and he doesn't even know Mearsheimer wrote, the Israel lobby, Mearsheimer was opposed to neocon wars, was opposed to a lot of what's going on in the Middle East.
01:49:47.000So, just goes to show how ignorant he is.
01:49:50.000Bimmy says I like watching your show when I clean my guns by an Ogg with all the Super Chat money.

01:51:27.000I think it's a lot of drunk Hispanics if you want to know the truth.
01:51:31.000Usually when I encounter issues, it's generally drunkards from a specific ethnic variety.
01:51:37.000But I'm not in the West Loop, I'm in the West Suburbs.
01:52:25.000And there's one other notable one he kept mispronouncing or using wrong.
01:52:29.000So the guy's just uh, you know, I went to college and you don't know what a sycophant is And you don't know what an alliance is our ally ship.

01:52:43.000I guess trump is still monitoring the situation.
01:53:52.000I'll have to go to the doctor, I guess.
01:53:55.000Generic guy or I read that one Hans says hey big guy.

01:54:00.000Thanks Skeptical face says I know a base, but not quite red-pilled Catholic philosopher Who says it was not Vatican to but rather the spirit of Vatican to meme which is fake and blue-pilled
01:54:12.000Okay, I'm not really familiar with all that.
01:54:15.000I don't know who you're talking about.
01:56:10.000Thanks Voz Vivos is remember the 700 viewers.
01:56:14.000Yeah, the 700 viewers tragically lost I don't know what the what that was all about, but whatever
01:56:19.000Jordan Dyer says classmates met you at CPAC you asked for the n-word pass I think that might be true actually I think if you're talking about this black gentleman that I met I may or may not have asked him for the n-word pass and he did give it to me by the way not that I needed it because I'm 2% black anyway but now I'm totally in the club Dale says I refuse to eat bugs and worms in the future we must secure the existence of Big Macs and a future for happy meals I agree I'm not eating the worms you're gonna have to kill me
01:56:49.000I don't think I follow any trans people.
01:56:51.000I don't know where people get this idea about transsexuals.
01:58:51.000I saw Bap, I've defended Bap before, but I saw Bap the other day literally posted gay porn.
01:58:57.000I mean, I'm not even talking about the pictures of men, I'm talking LinkedIn article, or a LinkedIn article, he posted a link to some sort of gay erotica, like gay porn or something.
01:59:08.000And that's not, I mean, that's what it was.
01:59:11.000And so, for all the people that, I used to defend like, well, maybe he's not, maybe it's not that way, he's just a pagan or something, but it's like, I don't know how much clearer you can get at this point, folks.
01:59:20.000If you're a pagan, one of these like, Nietzschean, secular, academic, right-wing type people, I don't know how much clearer you can make it about this kind of stuff.
01:59:30.000Where it's coming from, who is affiliated with that stuff, what's going on there, right?
01:59:36.000So, I mean, I like some of his content.
01:59:37.000He's written some good articles before and some good threads, and we're still mutuals and friends, basically, but a lot of that stuff is just cringe, man.
