Fuentes and co-host Alex Blumberg discuss a new article in Salon Magazine about the emerging alliance between white nationalists and far-right Catholics. They also discuss the rise of the so-called "barstool conservative" and the influence of Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, on the right wing of the political right and the left. And, of course, they talk about why the idea of a "Barstool Conservative" is such a thing and why it's important to know who he is and why he thinks he should be on the show.

00:01:06.000These are all like kind of in, well not really so much Huffington Post, I don't think, but Slate, Salon, they're like in the same category.
00:01:14.000And so they did a big article today about an emerging alliance between the Groypers and far-right Catholics.
00:01:22.000And they talked specifically about kind of this new axis which is being formed.
00:01:27.000Where you've got nationalists like us who are more explicitly political and specifically talk about white identity and are more of a dissident right really at the core, as well as groups like Church Militant and other Catholic groups who are obviously more religious than political.
00:01:52.000And it's a big article about how this is
00:01:55.000The emergent sort of alliance that is shaping the American right wing.
00:02:04.000They've been writing a lot of articles lately.
00:02:07.000Like, I know the Atlantic wrote a big hit piece about John McEntee over the summer.
00:02:12.000And they said, oh, this guy, he's like a Trump cultist.
00:02:15.000He was firing everybody that wasn't loyal to the president.
00:02:19.000It was supposed to be a hit piece, and it was like, if that's true, that's awesome.
00:02:23.000And then they write a hit piece in Salon.
00:02:26.000They're writing these hit pieces where they're supposed to be an attack and then you read them and it's like, actually that sounds pretty good to me.
00:02:33.000Watch this emerging alliance between racists and Catholics.
00:02:50.000We'll also be talking tonight about Dave Portnoy.
00:02:53.000And I guess this is actually kind of old news.
00:02:57.000I think this came out at the beginning of the month.
00:03:00.000But Dave Portnoy, who's the founder of Barstool Sports.
00:03:03.000If you're a sports guy, you probably know who this is.
00:03:07.000So, Jewish, Jewish by the way, not a lot of people know that, but Jewish, Dave Portnoy, he went on Fox News earlier this month and he's very influential among young people, very popular among young people on social media.
00:03:22.000He went on Fox News and said that if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade,
00:03:27.000He said that would be like going back in time and that he would vote for Joe Biden and that Democrats would win elections and all this horrible stuff.
00:03:42.000If you pay attention long enough, you'll see there's a lot of Jewish people that are pro-choice.
00:03:46.000But in any case, I saw that and it's not really a huge deal in itself, but I wanted to talk about a very old article.
00:03:55.000I guess not very old, but you may remember the last year there was a big conversation going on in the right wing about this phenomenon of the so-called barstool conservative.
00:04:07.000There was a big opinion piece about this in the magazine called The Week by the editor of the American Conservative, and it was called The Rise of the Barstool Conservatives.
00:04:20.000And it talked about how what Trumpism is really about is capturing this audience of the kind of people that watch barstool sports.
00:04:28.000College kids, like normal men, normal, so-called normal people, that aren't really political at all, but are just kind of like annoyed by the left.
00:04:38.000And it specifically talks about how they don't care about social issues, they're not religious, they're not even really right-wing, but they're just kind of like annoyed with the left.
00:04:48.000And in particular in that article he talked about how eventually social conservatives will basically just have to capitulate to these people because they are in the majority and that is the coalition which will give Republicans a majority and that anybody that holds social, traditional, socially conservative, traditional morals or views will have to capitulate to that crowd.
00:05:12.000And basically concede forever abortion, gay marriage, contraception, marijuana legalization, all these things, because that's just how it is now.
00:05:24.000And I thought, in light of that article, to see Dave Portnoy go on Fox News, I think it spells out exactly why people like that are not on our side, truly.
00:05:35.000So we'll talk about that, too, and it should be a pretty good show.
00:05:39.000Like I said, slow news day, but there still are some things to discuss, some important things.
00:05:45.000But before we get into our news, I just want to remind you to smash the follow button right below the Russian flag.
00:06:11.000Normally we're at like, we're pushing like 9, 30, 10 o'clock.
00:06:16.000I'm trying to get the show, if I could do the show a couple weeks consistently at 9 o'clock, I'll just say the show's at 9 o'clock and then there will be sort of this magical phenomenon where
00:06:29.000The show starts at the same time every night, and it's also the time that the show is advertised to start at, too.
00:06:36.000And I think if that happened, it would just be, like, a completely magical transformation in a new era in the history of America First.
00:06:47.000It's sort of like when you play Civ V and you discover, like, the calendar, you know?
00:06:56.000Your scientists have just discovered the technology of roads!
00:06:58.000You can now build roads between cities.
00:07:00.000So it's sort of like, if we could get the show time down to 9 o'clock for a couple weeks, we could just start saying the show's at 9 and then it will be.
00:07:14.000Then it's like, hey, the show starts at 9, you tune in at 9, and there it is.
00:07:20.000So it's sort of this new feature rolling out.
00:08:14.000In case you don't know, he's been embroiled in all these legal problems over the past year and a half.
00:08:20.000He was one of the people that went inside the Capitol on January 6th, and he got hit with a couple of misdemeanors.
00:08:26.000They hit him with a trespassing charge.
00:08:28.000They hit him with a disorderly conduct charge.
00:08:32.000And what has been going on since January 6th is that the feds have been trying to squeeze this guy.
00:08:39.000And I've gone into this before, so I'm not going to go into too much detail, but
00:08:43.000When the Feds give you an indictment, they know they can get you.
00:08:46.000The Feds have like a 99% conviction rate.
00:08:51.000And they have a 99% conviction rate because they really only indict people when they know they got them.
00:08:56.000When they know they got all the evidence, they got them dead to rights, they are certain they could put you away in a trial.
00:09:02.000But also, they have such a high conviction rate because so many of the people they charge never go to trial.
00:09:11.000So many of the cases that they have against people don't even go to trial.
00:09:16.000Because what they will do, they charge someone because they know they got them, and when they know they got them, they have leverage.
00:09:23.000And what they'll do is they'll use their leverage, they say, listen, here's our evidence, you have no chance in hell at winning a trial, so you cooperate with us, we'll give you a smaller charge, but then, you know, you gotta work for us.
00:09:38.000You get a lighter sentence, we'll recommend a lighter sentence,
00:09:41.000We'll reduce the charge and we will... but you'll have to work for us as a confidential informant.
00:09:48.000You'll have to do other things for us.
00:10:34.000And this is what they try to do to Baked Alaska.
00:10:37.000They hit him with these two misdemeanor charges, trespassing, disorderly conduct, and then they said, listen pal, if you don't cooperate with us, we're going to hit you with a felony charge, which carries a maximum 20 year sentence.
00:10:55.000They said, if you cooperate with us, we will not put a felony charge, we'll knock off a misdemeanor, and we'll recommend a lighter sentence if you plead guilty to one misdemeanor and you cooperate in a limited capacity, which I've talked about on the show and I'll get into in a second.
00:11:09.000They said, or we'll hit you with two misdemeanors and a felony, and you could go away for a long time, years, five years, seven years, long time.
00:11:44.000And this has also been reported in mainstream media.
00:11:47.000In a lot of these plea deals with the Capitol, they're not asking for complete cooperation from the defendants.
00:11:54.000They're only asking for access to their social media.
00:11:58.000So I read the plea agreement as an example, and the clause in there about cooperation, it says nothing about, it's very limited, it's very restricted, it says you have to turn over all your social media, your Facebook, your Twitter, your whatever, anything that was used, all your records pertaining to the 6th.
00:12:16.000And if you look into this in the mainstream media, they said this is actually an anomaly.
00:12:20.000Normally the feds will ask for total cooperation.
00:12:24.000And a lot of judges have said, and again this is reported in BuzzFeed and all the mainstream places, even the judges have said this is a complete anomaly that they have a limited kind of cooperation with law enforcement as a term of a plea agreement.
00:12:38.000So it was more limited, but it still sucks because we hate the pigs.
00:13:02.000Either he goes to jail for years if he doesn't take the agreement for a crime he didn't commit, or he takes a limited plea agreement and I kill him just for fun.
00:13:11.000I send the Gripers into prison and we cut him just for fun.
00:13:15.000We cut him up because that's what you get for talking.
00:13:19.000I kid, of course, but nobody wants to cooperate with law enforcement.
00:13:41.000He said, the cooperation is so limited
00:13:46.000And the alternative is maybe to go to jail for a really long time.
00:13:51.000The judge that he's up against, the last trial that that judge presided over where there was a capital defendant, the judge doubled the recommended sentence.
00:14:02.000So that judge presided over a trial, a capital case, and the prosecution recommended so much jail time, I forget how much, and the judge doubled it.
00:14:12.000So Baked Alaska could have went to jail for a long time.
00:14:42.000Because everybody was concerned trolling him for weeks about this and saying, oh, he's a snitch, he's a terrible guy, he's a fed, all this.
00:14:51.000He goes into the hearing and the judge says, how do you plea?
00:14:55.000And Baked Alaska says, well, I'm innocent, but I plea guilty because otherwise the feds are going to give me a felony charge.
00:16:40.000Or the FBI, the DOJ, all their fucking lawyers, their whole, their whole program, their whole MO of how to screw over normal people.
00:16:50.000You'd say it wasn't the smartest thing but certainly it was a real human being moment and there's some there is maybe some reason to be optimistic that this may have changed things for the better actually and I'm not going to get too much into that but
00:17:05.000This kind of put the prosecution in a position where they had to say, oh, we didn't threat him with a felony, and that actually may jeopardize some of the leverage they had over him.
00:17:15.000So, in the long run, this may work out in a completely different way.
00:17:26.000When that came out the other day, my lawyer texted me about it!
00:17:30.000When that article came out about Baked Alaska yesterday, my lawyer texted me about it, unprompted, with these emojis, like some frustrated eye roll emoji.
00:17:44.000My lawyer's like in his 60s, he's like this,
00:17:48.000Typical like Chicago like Midwest boomer.
00:17:51.000He's got a mustache And real real tough real real lawyer type And he said the article with these emojis rolling his eyes.
00:18:03.000I was like, yeah, that's yoga for you At any moment he could hit that yoga button So that was good
00:18:13.000I'll never forget when I was talking, when I first interviewed with my lawyers when they wanted to gather all the facts to represent me, I remember they were asking about all the details about that day and I'm talking about Baked Alaska and they looked into the criminal complaint against him.
00:18:28.000And I remember my lawyer, you know, again, he's this old bastard.
00:18:32.000I love him, great guy, but he's like tough, you know, real hard guy, real hard-nosed, Midwest lawyer, great lawyer.
00:18:42.000But he's an older guy, he's got a mustache, you know, he's got this sort of eccentric appearance, and he's looking at the criminal complaint.
00:19:03.000And he goes on reading, you know, there's something, there's something about this meme magic that we had this, like, we had this giant incident at the United States Capitol, like, we had a world historical moment at the US Capitol, and, like, Baked Alaska was there, and you literally have Pond Collector, you have Pond Collector entering into the, into the congressional record, into the criminal complaint.
00:19:29.000He takes a look at it and goes, Pog Collector.
00:20:37.000Everybody loves... Oh and by the way, oh one more thing.
00:20:40.000I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt tonight because as you know my AC is out so it's like 85 degrees in the studio.
00:20:49.000so I just can't I can't wear I can't wear clothes in here all right or else I'm gonna die so I know it's not the most professional but it's like as good as I can do I otherwise I'm gonna be dying the whole show and I forgot my towel my towels in the freezer so anyway
00:22:00.000I don't have a problem with Jewish people for being Jewish.
00:22:04.000I do have a problem with people that incidentally worship the devil and are Jewish or incidentally are in favor of abortion or child sacrifice or hate Jesus.
00:22:15.000I would hate atheists that hate Jesus.
00:22:17.000I would have a problem with atheists that hate Jesus.
00:22:22.000So anyway, I don't have a problem with the fact that he's Jewish, I have a problem with the fact that he's pro-choice.
00:22:28.000I have a problem with the fact that he supports the genocide of the unborn.
00:22:31.000It just so happens that a lot of Jewish people also support this, and he is one of the Jewish people that support this.
00:22:38.000In any case, nevertheless, not all Jewish people are pro-choice.
00:22:52.000So he goes on Fox News earlier this month, I think on May 4th or 5th, and he talks about how he's not going to vote for Donald Trump in 2024 if the Republican or Republican-appointed Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade and allows states to ban abortion.
00:23:12.000And I'll read his comments to you from Fox News.
00:23:15.000It says, quote, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy said he will vote for Democrats if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court.
00:23:23.000On Wednesday's installment of the Dave Portnoy Show, Portnoy asserted, quote,
00:23:35.000He said, quote, some religious people be like, oh baby, no, no, no, 90% anybody who's normally thinking it's if a woman wants to do it, it's her choice, her body, her choice, all that.
00:23:46.000To go backwards, it shows how effed up politics are.
00:23:50.000Portnoy told his co-host, Eddie Ferrer, that the idea of overturning Roe vs. Wade is so crazy, he speculated, it's a scam by the Democrats because they, quote, would win the White House no matter what, in addition to turning the tide ahead of a grim midterm election.
00:24:06.000Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, speaks... I'm sorry, that's another headline.
00:24:12.000Dave Portnoy, that's another headline.
00:24:14.000It says, quote, It doesn't matter, Republican, Democrat, you can't support this.
00:26:46.000Well, I thought it was a really interesting comment in light of an article that was written a year ago by an editor of the American Conservative.
00:26:54.000And I want to get into that article and then we can combine these things.
00:26:59.000There was a big opinion piece about a year ago in a magazine called The Week by an editor of American Conservative.
00:27:06.000If you don't know, American Conservative was Pat Buchanan's magazine.
00:27:21.000And you've got an editor of TAC, the American Conservative, writing last year about the so-called rise of barstool conservatives.
00:27:29.000And I reacted to it at the time with horror.
00:27:33.000And in the article it talks about how the kinds of normie people that would vote for Donald Trump, the kind of people that watch barstool sports, the kind of people that idolize Dave Portnoy.
00:27:48.000He said those are going to be the kinds of people that will constitute the Republican electorate in the future.
00:27:56.000He said people that don't care about social issues, people that don't care about abortion, don't care about gay marriage, don't care about pornography, don't care about all these things, they are going to inherit the GOP.
00:28:19.000And conservatives, real conservatives, will grow smaller and smaller as time goes on, and they'll have their own legal protections to have small communities run the way they want them to.
00:28:30.000But our country is the way it is, and the only way we can have any semblance of right-wing politics is this kind of barstool sports conservatism.
00:29:01.000Instead, he correctly intuited that the new culture war would be fought over very different and more nebulous issues.
00:29:07.000Vague concerns about political correctness and SJWs, opposition to the popularization of so-called critical race theory, sentimentality about the American flag and the military, the rights of male undergraduates to engage in fornication while intoxicated without fear of Title IX,
00:29:24.000Whatever their opinions might have been 20 years ago, in 2021 these are people who with varying degrees of enthusiasm accept pornography, homosexuality, drug use, legalized gambling, and whatever Gamergate was about.
00:29:37.000On economic questions their views are a curious and at times incoherent mixture of standard libertarian talking points and pseudopopulism embracing lower taxes on the one hand and stimulus checks and stricter regulation of social media platforms on the other.
00:29:52.000I have come to think of the people who answered the above description as, quote, barstool conservatives, in reference to the popular sports website, especially its founder and CEO, Dave Portnoy.
00:30:02.000For many years, the political significance of barstool was implicit at best, reflected mainly in its conflicts with Deadspin and other members of the tacitly liberal sports journalism establishment.
00:30:13.000But in the last year, as Portnoy emerged as one of America's most visible critics of the lockdown policies instituted by virtually every state governor, it became clear to me that more so than anyone else, he embodied the worldview of millions of Americans who share his disdain for the language of liberal improvement, the hectoring, school-marmish attitude of Democratic politicians and their allies in the media, and above all, the elevation of risk aversion to the level of a first-order principle by our professional classes.
00:30:40.000I fully expect the future Republican Party to belong to barstool conservatives, which is to say, to a growing but so far almost invisible coalition that could very well carry the White House.
00:30:51.000This movement will not have institutions in any recognizable sense, certainly not think tanks or highbrow magazines, but it will be larger, more geographically disparate, younger, and probably more male.
00:31:01.000It will also, I suspect, be more racially diverse, much like the portion of the electorate that gave Trump 74 million votes in 2020.
00:31:39.000It'll be nebulous, vague concerns about political correctness, but all the other things are basically accepted that we're not going to win on those things.
00:32:37.000Because that to me, barstool conservatism, sounds a lot like inclusive populism.
00:32:45.000Whenever I hear about the diverse coalition that voted for Trump in 2020, as I hear that a lot, pay attention when you hear that from conservatives, the racially diverse coalition that brought Trump in office in 2020, whenever I hear that it sets off a little alarm bell in my head.
00:33:06.000From a certain primary candidate in Washington State earlier this year.
00:33:10.000I heard this last year in a certain Twitter space that I had with people from American Moment, and from ISI, and from National Conservatism Conference, and Yoram Izzoni's son.
00:33:23.000I specifically hear about the multi-racial electorate that voted for Trump in 2020 contrasted against the white electorate that voted for Trump in 2016, is what I often hear.
00:33:37.000I hear about the collection of Hispanics and Blacks that voted in record numbers for Republicans in 2020 contrasted against the 90% of Trump voters who were white that voted for him in 2016.
00:33:51.000And I also hear about this Trump platform in 2020 which was not divisive.
00:33:59.000It was about the good economy and the low taxes and the low unemployment and the high stock market.
00:34:08.000And about all these other things that we don't really care about.
00:34:11.000Contrasted against the election in 16, which was about building a wall to keep illegals out, banning Muslims from America, rejecting the siren song of globalism, ending the wars in the Middle East, being friends with Russia, you know, a true revolutionary white working-class platform.
00:34:56.000The policy papers on why blockchain enabled futures markets and organ donation brought to you by Manscaped will revitalize Dayton, Ohio will write themselves.
00:35:04.000Meanwhile, a small number of earnest social conservatives, that's us, will be disgusted.
00:35:11.000But I suspect that a majority of them will gladly make their peace with the new order of things.
00:35:17.000This is in part because while barstool conservatives might regard, say, homeschooling families of tennis freaks,
00:35:25.000I know some of those people, by the way.
00:35:28.000They do not regard them with loathing, much less consider their very existence a threat to the American way of life as they understand it.
00:35:35.000Social conservatives themselves have largely accepted that with the possible exception of abortion.
00:35:40.000The great battles have been lost for good.
00:35:43.000Instead, the best that can be hoped for us is a kind of recusancy, a limited accommodation for a few hundred thousand families who cling to traditions
00:35:51.000That in the decades to come will appear as bizarre as those of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
00:35:58.000The Pennsylvania Dutch they're referring to are the Amish.
00:36:00.000They're saying that if you are a true Christian, you will be like the Amish.
00:36:05.000You will be a living anachronism like the Amish.
00:36:11.000And recuse yourself from society and accept that America is a nation of abortion, pornography, drug abuse, homosexuality, promiscuity, and evil.
00:36:25.000So this article came out a year ago, pretty salient, and yesterday, these shows now are, you're going to increasingly need to watch each show to kind of understand.
00:36:39.000a little bit about this with the pro-war angle and how almost all the conservatives voted for the Ukrainian aid package, almost all the conservatives support this proxy war with Russia, and even the ones that don't aren't really saying a whole lot of strong things.
00:36:53.000Paul Gosar had a very good post on Gab about this today.
00:36:58.000If you watched my show last night, you look at the Gab post, it was like, hey, thanks for listening!
00:37:03.000So outside of a small handful of people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Madison Cawthorn, Tucker Carlson, almost all the conservatives are supporting proxy war, which is a complete betrayal of the Trump Revolution in 2016 because so much of the Trump Revolution was about being against the war.
00:37:25.000And gradually you're seeing the Trump movement is being taken over by people that are pro-war.
00:37:29.000And in the same vein, you're seeing this kind of thing leaking into the system.
00:37:35.000And last year, this was an article, and now we've got Joe Kent basically saying the same thing in Washington State.
00:37:43.000Joe Kent, to me, seems very much like a barstool conservative.
00:37:56.000He backs a lot of people that sound like this, for what it's worth.
00:38:00.000A lot of people that are saying things like, let's not divide our small electorate by taking a righteous stand on divisive issues, social issues, identity issues.
00:38:13.000Let's take the Trump 2020 playbook, you know, the playbook that didn't work.
00:38:19.000I believe he won the election, but Trump isn't president, so it's not the right playbook.
00:38:24.000I don't think anybody was happy with it.
00:38:25.000Even if you believe he won, I still wasn't happy with it.
00:38:28.000Campaigning out low taxes and this platinum plan business, and letting BLM burn down the cities because Sean Hannity told them to.
00:38:38.000This is going to be a very pernicious strain of thought.
00:38:41.000This is the kind of thing we're talking about where
00:38:44.000At what point do you say that compromising in order to achieve victory defeats the purpose of victory in the first place?
00:39:05.000I want to win the election because I want to make the laws that shape the society and I want to make the society the way that I think it should be.
00:39:13.000That's of course why we participate in politics.
00:39:17.000And what you've seen conservatives do over the past... well, they've been doing this forever.
00:39:22.000What you see conservatives do is each year they take a little piece out of their platform.
00:39:27.000They dilute their platform a little bit in a vain attempt to expand their coalition and win more votes and win the election.
00:39:36.000And what has gone on is at this point we have diluted the core platform so much that when we win the platform no longer shapes the society in the way that we want it to be shaped.
00:39:51.000We've diluted the platform so much that when elections are won, if elections are won with these kinds of ideas, it's almost as if we didn't even win at all.
00:40:00.000Because we're winning on a platform and with policies that do not reflect the real moral foundation of our worldview.
00:40:10.000In other words, let's say we get a barstool president, let's say we get President Dave Portnoy, a Jewish liberal, a rich Jewish liberal,
00:41:58.000You appeal more to normal independents.
00:42:01.000You appeal to this elusive category of people who would otherwise be alienated by a very conservative platform.
00:42:10.000And in spite of that, that idea never seems to work out.
00:42:14.000They say that if we dilute the platform to win more votes, and not only is that obviously bad politics because we have diluted the platform so much you're going to wind up with President Caitlyn Jenner, but also it doesn't even work.
00:42:29.000Not only is it not worth it if it did work,
00:42:33.000Because they would say, well, let's make Caitlyn Jenner our nominee.
00:42:37.000Then they couldn't call us transphobic.
00:42:39.000Let's make Caitlyn Jenner the nominee for president.
00:43:25.000All the people that diluted their platform, all the people that chastised Trump for being too polarizing or too sensational, they didn't even come close to winning the primary.
00:43:37.000And then, ultimately, Trump won states that have not been won by a Republican since the early 90s.
00:43:46.000That was the logic behind making John McCain the nominee and Mitt Romney the nominee.
00:44:34.000It's not worth it to win unless the things that you really believe, you're out there saying and campaigning on.
00:44:40.000It also turns out that that's good politics, too.
00:44:43.000That that is the kind of thing that wins elections.
00:44:46.000But we are being told, and this is the refrain constantly, since before Trump, during Trump, and after Trump, that we just need to look to more moderate types like Ron DeSantis.
00:44:58.000Or like the current governor of Virginia, Greg Youngkin.
00:45:02.000Do you remember when Youngkin won the governorship and everybody said, this shows that Trumpism is over!
00:45:09.000And we really need the parents to go to the- and don't get me wrong, I support that, but we- the parents who went to the school boards to protest CRT are the ones that- Listen.
00:45:19.000If we have President Greg Youngkin, we lost.
00:45:22.000If we have President Caitlyn Jenner, we lost.
00:45:25.000If we have President rich liberal Jew Dave Portnoy, who supports abortion, we lost.
00:45:32.000You can't win with it anyway, but even if you did, it's a loss.
00:45:37.000So that's why the so-called Barstool conservatism is really the biggest threat to conservatism in my opinion.
00:45:44.000What conservatism is about in this country is our identity as a nation.
00:47:15.000You know, free market dogmatists will tell you, you need to be having kids so they can pay into the social security or you need to have kids so that the economy can grow or something.
00:47:26.000No, the economy is there for the families, not the other way around.
00:47:30.000So our economic policy proceeds from the need to have families.
00:47:35.000Our economic policy proceeds from the idea that a productive economy serves the family unit.
00:47:46.000And it allows them to get married young and have lots of kids in an affordable way.
00:47:50.000That's what the tax code and the monetary policy and the fiscal policy should be based on.
00:47:56.000And that's one example, but that's how everything should proceed.
00:47:59.000Not let's sort of cobble together some kind of platform based on winning over various TikTok fandoms.
00:48:07.000So, for the presidency this year, we're going for the Charli D'Amelio following, and the Dave Portnoy following, and the Caitlyn Jenner following, and the James Charles following, and we're trying to go for the Miranda Cosgrove following.
00:48:44.000He's a rich liberal Jew and political correctness is temporarily getting in the way of his business interests.
00:48:49.000Let's not pretend it's anything other than that.
00:48:52.000If you're gonna go on TV and say, I support Democrats because banning the killing of babies is a bridge too far, you are not one of us.
00:49:01.000You are not conservative, you are not right-wing, you are not Christian, you are not on our side.
00:49:07.000And I am perfectly willing to cut people off.
00:49:12.000And conservatives should be, broadly, be willing to cut people off and be willing to alienate those people for issues like that.
00:49:19.000Sorry, but abortion, pornography, drug abuse, other sort of degeneracy, LGBT...
00:49:29.000These are things which we cannot compromise on.
00:49:32.000These are the things which are creating societal ruin.
00:49:35.000What good is it to have a good tax code if you've got what we're going to have coming up in Pride Month, which is Drag Queen Story Hour in front of children?
00:49:43.000What good is a prosperous economy if all of the young males are being addicted to pornography at age 12, and all the females are going out there and making it for a quick buck to get into college at age 18?
00:49:57.000I don't want to live in that society, actually.
00:50:00.000I don't care how politically correct the society is, if that's the society that we're living in.
00:50:06.000And the same goes for drug overdoses, which we just hit a new record for drug overdose deaths.
00:50:44.000Atheist Jews and homosexuals have been influencing the Republican Party for decades, and that's why we've gotten the exact platform I just described.
00:50:51.000Because atheist Jews and homosexuals have no problem with drugs, pornography, homosexuality, and abortion.
00:50:58.000Maybe that's why the Republican Party has failed to stop all those things for decades.
00:51:03.000That's why we need a new era of Christians.
00:51:33.000If you spend long enough in the conservative movement, if you have a career in the conservative movement, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:51:41.000Anybody who works in the conservative movement, and I mean anybody, anybody who works in the conservative movement in any capacity, on Capitol Hill, at the Washington Examiner, in a think tank, whatever, you know as well as I do, it is run by atheist Jews and homosexuals.
00:52:01.000Everybody knows it, who is in that scene.
00:52:04.000And that is why we get the kind of Republican Party that would appeal to that group, and not offend them.
00:52:11.000That's why we get a Republican Party that does not defend life, that does not defend the family, that does not defend Catholic or Christian sexual morality, that does not defend our children from the scourge of pornography, that does not protect the society from drug abuse.
00:52:28.000It's because it's not run by Christians that hate all those things.
00:52:33.000I mean, I know that sounds controversial, but that's a fact.
00:52:36.000I know that sounds a certain kind of way, but that's just... I mean, how else am I supposed to say it?
00:53:32.000In a world of barstool conservatives and Caitlyn Jenner's and pink text Breitbart, and Caitlyn Jenner is a Fox News contributor and Ron DeSantis and Greg Youngkin, here's where we come in.
00:54:26.000It says, Last Sunday, as pro-choice supporters reacted to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that will likely overturn Roe vs. Wade, a series of videos shot in Lower Manhattan went viral.
00:54:37.000In one, a group of young men stood before an arched wooden doorway at the Basilica of St.
00:54:41.000Patrick's Old Cathedral, reciting the Rosary while protesters demonstrated outside the church gates.
00:54:47.000In their center was a young man wearing an America First hat and a Fire Department of New York fleece, closing his eyes as he prayed.
00:54:56.000By that afternoon, the video had been shared on social media by far-right Republican representatives Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who praised the men as heroes defending their churches against the abortionist horde.
00:55:35.000The man was not, as the New York City Fire Department pointed out, a firefighter, nor was he merely a devout Catholic.
00:55:42.000Rather, he was a right-wing activist affiliated with Nick Fuentes' gleefully racist anti-Semitic America vs. Gruyper movement, which at its third annual AFPAC drew widespread condemnation for its glorification of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
00:55:57.000Which, by the way, we don't have confirmation on that guy.
00:56:02.000So, you know, we don't want to get him in trouble or anything, but we know he was wearing the hat.
00:56:10.000On a popular Groyper livestream show Sunday night, host and movement leader Dalton Clodfelter said he recognized the man in the videos and called them to join the show.
00:56:19.000As journalist and Western State Center senior fellow Nick Martin reported, Clodfelter said the man had made a bold statement and it's going to be heard by a lot of people.
00:56:28.000The man claimed that many of the praying men who assembled that afternoon were also groipers, described the demonstrators he'd been heckling as demonic creatures and animals, and then said something else.
00:56:40.000Whatever church they're going to attack next, he pledged, we'll be there and we'll crush them, based.
00:56:45.000None of that seemed to matter to the right-wing politicians and media who held the man up as a hero of the faith.
00:56:50.000Prominent among those was Church Militant, a far-right Catholic media outlet that promoted its Monday night coverage of the protest with a picture of the griper's face.
00:57:00.000All this was part of a broader pattern of increasing overlap between the far-right, including the overtly white nationalist movement and leaders.
00:57:19.000Stop the Steal organizer Allie Alexander and Kent State gun girl Kaitlyn Bennett all four have rebranded themselves as traditional Catholics and allied themselves with an existing network of far-right Catholics that includes Pizzagate provocateur-turned-conservative commentator Jack Posobiec, Trump confidant and advisor Steve Bannon, and Groyper guru Nick Fuentes himself.
00:58:25.000I'll write, identify as a Goofy Goober.
00:58:29.000In any case, from its beginnings, the Groyper movement sought to straddle the gap between the white and Christian nationalist movements
00:58:39.000In later years of the Trump presidency, as the largely pagan or atheist alt-right fell into disarray, Fuentes sought to distinguish the mostly Gen-Z Grouper movement from its disgraced predecessor by garnishing its core white nationalist principles with the flag and the cross.
00:58:54.000Fuentes explained to his followers in November 2019, the alt-right was a racialist, atheist, post-American revolutionary and transnational movement, attempting to chart a new direction for white nationalism in the U.S.
00:59:08.000America First is a traditionalist, Christian, conservative, reformist, American nationalist movement.
00:59:16.000While others had given up hope of transforming the conservative establishment, the Groypers, Fuentes argued, would redouble their efforts to influence the mainstream right.
00:59:27.000Quote, we have to push the envelope, Fuentes told followers in May 2021.
00:59:32.000We are the right-wing flank of the Republican Party.
00:59:35.000We have got to be on the right, dragging these people, kicking and screaming into the future, into the right wing, into a truly reactionary party.
00:59:48.000In comparison to the barstool conservatives, the inclusive populists, the multiracial working class populists, we are the Christian American Nationalist Movement.
01:00:04.000Our job is to fucking destroy the barstool conservatives.
01:00:09.000Our job is to kick down the door of their bar, take a barstool, and fucking break their head with it in the name of God and in the name of our white ancestors in America.
01:00:23.000Our job is to take a barstool and throw it through the window of inclusive populism.
01:00:29.000Our job is to take a barstool and smash down the gates of the Republican Party with it, with a cross and a rosary and a MAGA hat, and an I'm with Groyper t-shirt!
01:00:57.000And we are going to take the Republican Party and we are going to drag it against its will back through the doors of the church and to the altar and we are going to baptize it.
01:01:11.000That has been the mission from day one.
01:01:14.000It is what we're engaged in right now.
01:02:42.000I've seen a lot of Catholic conversions in the mainstream right-wing.
01:02:47.000We see that Christ is King is a chant that is growing louder and louder and echoing more and more in the American right-wing political space.
01:02:57.000This weekend, in 2022, we saw a group of groipers with their rosaries and their America First hats back defending the churches from the pro-abortionists, and we saw two sitting congressmen quote, tweet, and praise them for it.
01:03:13.000That is the mission of America First in 2022.
01:03:24.000That our real enemy is not the left, it's not the media, it's not the people that gossip about us, it's not whatever else that goes on, circular firing squad bullshit.
01:03:39.000The real enemy is the powers and principalities in another realm.
01:03:47.000The real enemy is Satan and evil itself.
01:03:55.000We are America First and Nick Fuentes on Earth, but our real cause is Christ.
01:04:02.000And our real enemy is the devil and evil itself.
01:04:05.000Now understand that in this fight that we are in, it is because, it is because, not in spite of, it is because we are the movement that has the banner of the cross and the Christ on it, that we are attacked more than anybody, more viciously, more relentlessly,
01:04:27.000By people far more powerful, it is because of and not even in spite of the fact that that is our banner, and that is our heart, and that is our cause.
01:06:21.000We're not white nationalists, but you're right.
01:06:24.000The dissident right has embraced religion, and we are bringing together, for the first time in American history, a true American right wing.
01:06:37.000You know, Southern, agrarian, Jeffersonian thing, and you had this kind of like Mr. Republican thing, and you had this Buckley guy, and you had Pat Buchanan.
01:06:46.000We are going to create, even in the ruins, you could say, something like this, of the Trump presidency, we are going to create the first and the only real right-wing movement that this country has ever seen.
01:07:02.000And when we take power, America will become a real civilization.
01:09:05.000I'll admit, I'll admit, and I was having a conversation with somebody about this today.
01:09:14.000When I first started doing this, I had a very clear vision and a very deliberate strategy that I was executing every day about what this was going to be.
01:09:26.000And it went perfectly, you know, straight through, stop the steal.
01:09:31.000And then January 6th happened and honestly,
01:11:00.000I held it together for the most part, but I lost some of the deliberateness.
01:11:05.000Because it's a very difficult thing that I do every night to execute a long-term, sophisticated strategy night after night, with each instantiation contributing to it cumulatively.
01:11:17.000It's difficult to kind of keep a good head game and, you know, focus on the higher stuff.
01:11:26.000I think I had some of my best shows ever last year.
01:11:28.000I'm not gonna say it was a bad year We had a great year in spite of everything, but I'm just gonna say the thing things got a little cloudy, you know the fog of war descended and and I feel like For the first time the fog is lifting.
01:11:46.000I felt that in December and it's been this continuous process that the fog is lifting and
01:11:52.000Once again I'm able to see the vision that I had years ago.
01:11:57.000I'm able to see the vision more clearly and I'm once again like tapping into that kind of intuition that I had years ago and I know it never left me but I'm really sharpening that and I'm really, like I said last night, have a much clearer vision of where this is going in four, six, eight years than I did six months ago.
01:12:22.000And it's a good feeling it feels good I feel like this latest drama honestly kind of like woke me up It's a process that started in December because I was kind of for the last year I was filled with a lot of self-doubt and a lot of confusion and a lot of I was under attack I was under attack by everything and in December I was kind of like I started to come out of this coma and like this weekend kind of kicked my ass and I was like
01:14:09.000I looked at a different traffic website, which you have to pay to get on, to see our traffic for the month of April, which is not yet out publicly on SimilarWeb.
01:16:48.000Sorry for drama super chat last night King M in the replay gang Hide caps sent $5.
01:16:56.000The only place to do better thinking than in the shower is a sauna I don't know if I would ever do a sauna cuz I don't like getting sweaty like that.
01:17:06.000I Don't want to sit there and get sweaty that sucks I've never done a sauna though, but I would never I don't think I'd ever want to I
01:22:09.000When I saw that one fucking K of your city's cops quit over a short time period, it made me wonder our thoughts on the possible rise of vigilantism.
01:22:16.000William Foster ass niggas bout to hit the E button.
01:22:19.000I don't think it's going to happen only because they prosecute vigilantes.
01:23:03.000Who would go in and defend Walmart knowing that, like, the city does not have their back?
01:23:07.000Who will go in and defend their neighborhood when they know the city's... The cops are quitting because the city throws the cops under the bus!
01:23:13.000The cops are quitting because the cops can't do their job, and if they do,
01:23:18.000The city pulls the rug out from under them.
01:23:21.000So, I mean, the cops are quitting for the same reason that vigilantism will not take hold.
01:23:26.000It's because there's a war waged against people that are trying to enforce the law, and the criminals are essentially being supported, so that's why.
01:23:39.000I didn't cope and I didn't come around.
01:27:06.000Off topic, but has been irritating me lately so many atheists think we believe Jesus died on the cross and resurrected because of tradition.
01:27:13.000I believe in the historicity of the New Testament 100%.
01:27:36.000This story I've heard about illegals getting baby formula over our own citizens during a shortage is further proof white people need to finally wake the fuck up and realize that we're under assault.
01:32:39.000Okay, that's how I feel about all that stuff That's how I feel about say days and SSPX and I know SSPX is technically in communion with the church But listen, I'm Catholic.
01:32:49.000All right, so I'm not against SSPX, but it's But I'm not SSPX.
01:40:31.000I'm like I feel like such a idiot like I know what's going on I know it's not a big deal.
01:40:36.000I know exactly what's happening right now so and then another time I went to Disney World this was the most recent time before that I went to Disney World and I went on that mission Mars ride at Epcot and
01:40:54.000And it, like, simulates G-Force or something.
01:40:58.000And so you feel like you're passing out.
01:41:00.000You literally... I felt myself losing consciousness.
01:41:40.000So I will never, I will never get a blood test.
01:41:43.000I will never, I will never get a shot, a vaccine, surgery.
01:41:48.000If I ever, if something ever happens to me that I require a surgery or anything like that, just kill me.
01:41:55.000Honestly, I'll just pull the plug on myself.
01:41:59.000If I get hospitalized and they're like, the only way for us to save you is we have to put needles in you and perform a surgery, I'll say, you know what?
01:44:58.000Then I say, by the way, still an incel, but the other night I'm like, well, you know, maybe I'll just talk about it less and yeah, maybe I'll start working.
01:45:05.000I get out of this working out and then now everyone's gonna say, oh, you work out the whole time?
01:46:06.000I got a gym membership, and subscribed to badass beard club, cigar club, butcher box, heterosexual male sex haver, with females, box, and bespoke junk box.
01:46:21.000Yeah, make sure to sign up for the loot crate.
01:46:24.000Someone told me we should do a loot crate once, and I was like, I will literally come to your house and kill you.
01:46:29.000Somebody on the America First team, I forget who, I think someone who isn't with us anymore, but at some point during the last year, somebody was like, what if we sold a loot crate?
01:47:41.000I don't even know how people can do this.
01:47:44.000They'll buy a loot crate and it's like, here's like a candle thing, here's like a watch thing, here's like a cup with graphic design on it.
01:47:53.000It's like, where do you put all this garbage?
01:47:55.000Where in your house do you put all this garbage?
01:48:07.000I see these TikToks of, like, guys with all these toys in their house, and I'm like, if that was my life, I think I would blow my head off.
01:48:19.000I built Legos, like, one time during the pandemic, because there was literally nothing to do and I was bored.
01:48:27.000but there are there's no like display in my house you'll have these guys where they have like a display case of their pops and their fucking legos and their other garbage and it's like are you kidding me like toys
01:49:40.000And it's not even... They either make something that's garbage, that they know is garbage, or they're just packaging up garbage merchandise and sell it.
01:49:47.000It's literally like, here, box of poo.
01:49:59.000so it's like what they it's like how you know what they feed livestock is just like a bunch of junk like here's the apple core here's a banana peel here's like some some hay or whatever here's just a bunch of stuff like that's what that's what human beings have become it's like oh here's just a bunch of junk like whatever fill up the trough here's here's your recurring payment for 20 bucks a month i know it's not a hot take but if you buy that stuff you're legitimately a fucking idiot and i hate you
01:50:31.000Stop buying junk that there's no point to it.
01:50:33.000Stop buying... I, like, my mom does this.
01:50:36.000My mom will, like, on Christmas, she'll, she'll do stockings and she'll fill up the stockings with, like, um, with just, like, these little dollar store knickknacks.
01:50:44.000It's like, thanks a lot, but I, like, I'm gonna wind up throwing all this stuff in the garbage.
01:50:48.000Like, why would you even... I know it's, like, a dollar store fun thing, but it's, like, why are you giving me all this junk?
01:54:37.000Yeah, that's honestly what the superchats are.
01:54:48.000It's sort of like looking into my brain.
01:54:50.000It's probing my brain to see my weak points and then they're going to create some kind of psychic neural ink torture device to imprison me in a personal hell forever.
