00:38:01.000I did call this two weeks ago when we initially reported about the Ahmad Arbery case two weeks ago.
00:38:07.000That once the narrative surrounding this case about a black jogger began to collapse, we were going to see less and less of it in the mainstream media.
00:38:16.000And tonight we're going to be talking about two new clips that have surfaced of Ahmaud Arbery.
00:38:22.000The first is a clip of him being apprehended and tased, almost tased, nearly tased, because he was in a park where apparently there's a lot of drug dealings that go on.
00:38:33.000The second clip is a clip of him being arrested because he was shoplifting a television from Walmart.
00:38:41.000And we'll be talking about these clips in the context of the broader conversation on Ahmaud Arbery.
00:38:47.000And it's just amazing to me because I check every major news source before I do this show.
00:38:53.000I check every major mainstream news source.
00:38:56.000I also check the non major ones too, right?
00:38:59.000I also check Twitter and I check Daily Wire and I check, you know, I check a lot of different things.
00:39:05.000And virtually nobody in the mainstream media is even talking about these new developments, which is exactly what we can expect when we see things like this, right?
00:39:15.000Nobody had not heard about Ahmaud Arbery two weeks ago when it was an unarmed jogger killed by white supremacists.
00:39:23.000And now that tape after tape after tape of this gangster are posted or revealed in the press or in the process of this investigation, at the same time, he's mentioned less and less and less in the media.
00:39:38.000Every time we see a tape of him in this house under construction, and then we see tapes of him being.
00:39:46.000Apprehended by police, then suddenly nobody wants to talk about it.
00:40:20.000We'll also be talking about a letter that the president sent to the World Health Organization, which is good, but we'll talk about some ways in which it's actually not that great.
00:40:31.000You remember that the president temporarily cut funding for the World Health Organization from the United States.
00:40:38.000And there's a big question when that happened as to whether or not those changes would become permanent.
00:40:43.000Would we resume funding the World Health Organization at some point?
00:40:52.000And I was very critical when this happened.
00:40:53.000I said, it's a good thing that we're cutting funding from the World Health Organization, but this does not constitute the significant break from globalist institutions that we need.
00:41:06.000Cutting funding temporarily, we're saying that we're going to not give money to institutions that are hurting us, we're going to not give money to institutions that, in some ways, caused this crisis or have some culpability in the crisis.
00:41:21.000Yeah, that's a really devastating blow.
00:41:30.000So that was my initial critique, and it's been an evolving conversation about will we resume the funding or will we make the changes permanent or maybe even leave the WHO.
00:41:42.000And it looked like we were trending towards resuming the funding up until last week.
00:41:48.000Their rumors around the White House were that the president was going to pick up the funding imminently for the WHO until he watched Tucker Carlson's show.
00:41:58.000And Tucker Carlson intercepted these rumors and he did a monologue on his show.
00:42:04.000And called out what a terrible decision that would be.
00:42:08.000And the president, seeing that, allegedly, according to rumors from the White House, changed his decision and has now instead written a letter to the director of the WHO saying that unless the WHO can demonstrate independence from China, then we are not going to resume funding.
00:42:24.000And unless the WHO can make serious changes, the United States might pull out of the WHO.
00:42:29.000And the president gave Tedros, who's the director of the WHO, a 30 day ultimatum.
00:42:35.000It's either you make these changes, you demonstrate your independence, or we'll leave the WHO.
00:42:41.000Now, there's nothing substantive about these demands, these requirements.
00:42:45.000It's sort of ambiguous, sort of abstract, but there is a very concrete timetable 30 days.
00:42:51.000Do you think that we'll see a withdrawal from the WHO in 30 days?
00:42:56.000Do you think that we'll make the changes to the funding permanent in 30 days?
00:43:10.000I initially was very doubtful that there would be any talk about expanding the immigration ban in the White House, but then we covered, I think last week or the week before, that actually there's serious consideration happening in the White House for shutting down temporary work visas and expanding the ban.
00:43:27.000So we'll see what happens in 30 days, but I'm not really optimistic.
00:43:31.000So we'll talk about the letter and I'll go into more detail on this, but we'll see what's going on with all that.
00:43:37.000To me, it's just like, and I don't want to spoil the whole.
00:43:40.000You know, I don't want to spoil that whole story by just jumping right in, but it's pretty incredible that throughout this entire crisis and really throughout the administration, the most that we as conservatives or as nationalists can ask for are like these completely temporary, inconsequential half measures.
00:44:00.000Like we have this global pandemic, it's one of the worst the modern world has ever seen, the modern world or the contemporary world.
00:44:20.000And in big ways, it was because of the WHO and China lying about the virus.
00:44:26.000They were very opaque about the spread of the virus, how contagious it was, that there was human to human transmission, the origin of the virus.
00:44:35.000And the best that we can muster in the midst of this crisis is temporarily pulling the funding for the WHO.
00:44:43.000That's before we even talk about the UN or like broader international institutions or the WTO, the World Trade Organization, or China or Beijing for that matter.
00:44:54.000The best we could do is temporarily stop giving.
00:44:57.000And it's a paltry sum that we give to the WHO.
00:49:46.000It says U.S. President Donald Trump has sent a letter to the head of the WHO threatening to pull U.S. funding permanently over coronavirus.
00:49:53.000The letter outlines a 30 day deadline for the body to commit to substantive improvements.
00:49:59.000Or risk losing millions and U.S. membership altogether.
00:50:04.000The letter was addressed to the WHO chief Tedros.
00:50:08.000It criticized the stages of the body's response since December.
00:50:12.000In his letter to Dr. Tedros, the U.S. president accuses the WHO of having an alarming lack of independence from China.
00:50:20.000Among his assertions, Mr. Trump accuses the agency of having, quote, consistently ignored what he describes as credible reports of the virus spreading in Wuhan at the start of December or even earlier.
00:50:33.000The U.S. president has repeatedly accused China of failings in its response to the coronavirus outbreak.
00:50:42.000Also in the letter, Mr. Trump cites reports that the WHO delayed an emergency declaration under pressure from President Xi Jinping, which is true, criticizes the agency's praise of China's transparency, quote, transparency, amid its censorship and lack of international cooperation, accuses the WHO of Failing to comment on virus related discrimination against Africans within China.
00:51:09.000Yeah, fortunate that we have that in there.
00:51:11.000I'm glad that was not, there was no oversight about racism, even in this letter.
00:51:17.000And then the letter also says that Dr. Tedros could have saved many lives if he had acted more like Dr. Harlem Brundtland, the WHO chief during the SARS outbreak of 2003.
00:51:29.000Mr. Trump, in his conclusion, alleges that repeated missteps.
00:51:33.000By the WHO had been extremely costly for the world.
00:51:36.000The letter says, The only way forward for the WHO is if it can actually demonstrate independence from China.
00:51:44.000Mr. Trump then calls for the organization to commit to major substantive improvements within 30 days without clarifying what this means.
00:51:51.000Without these changes, the president says, the U.S. will make his temporary freeze of U.S. funding permanent and, Reconsider our membership in the organization altogether.
00:52:02.000And Mr. Trump announced the halting of U.S. payments last month.
00:52:05.000The country is the largest single contributor to the WHO, accounting for just less than 15% of its funding in the past financial year.
00:52:15.000So, this is where we are with the letter.
00:52:18.000And, like I said, if we just had this letter, you know, well, we'll talk about that in a moment.
00:52:24.000What's heartbreaking about this is that I have a really strong feeling that without Tucker Carlson's monologue putting the president on blast last week because Tucker intercepted reports, That the president was on track to resume funding for the WHO, without that monologue, we would be resuming funding for the WHO.
00:52:45.000There would be no letter, there would be no threat to pull out, there would be no threat to make these funding changes permanent, there would be no ultimatum, there would be nothing.
00:52:53.000We would just pick up where we left off.
00:52:56.000And this is kind of where the administration has been on like every issue for the past few years, which is to say that there is a bold but very limited unilateral action from the president.
00:53:10.000Where the president has these sort of moments of inspiration where he'll take to Twitter or get an executive order in rare cases, but he'll take limited but bold and disruptive unilateral action to address these things, and then it's walked back in a month.
00:54:39.000That is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
00:54:41.000That you stop funding them for one month, it's 15% of their funding.
00:54:45.000It'd be one thing if it was half or all of their funding.
00:54:49.000And it'd be one thing if it was for a year, but it's one month, and we don't even give that much money to The Who to begin with.
00:54:56.000And given all the abuses, that's the best we can muster.
00:54:59.000And he was prepared to walk even that back after 30 days, if not for, you know, catching Tucker Carlson on Fox News last week.
00:55:07.000And this is what all the reports say from inside the White House that, and that's even why Tucker Carlson gave the monologue, is there were these very credible reports from the White House that we were on our way to resuming, and then there were reports that after the Tucker Carlson monologue, We sent out this letter instead.
00:55:24.000So, this process is just not workable.
00:55:27.000Like, we have to realize that the president is always going, or maybe not always, but constantly at risk of making terrible decisions that are against the interest of his voters and against maybe even his own agenda.
00:55:43.000I mean, just constantly falling into these things, if not for Tucker and all of social media and all of like the alt light and MAGA people applying very visible public pressure.
00:56:06.000And don't you just wish we could have somebody in the White House who is more or less focused and on the ball on these things and maybe needs to be pushed here and there on some issues, but it's just generally got its foot on the gas going where we need to go?
00:56:23.000After three years, this is how we are supposed to achieve America First.
00:56:28.000MAGA nationalist policy is Trump is constantly falling off on these things, and we have to work desperately to uphold them and push them back up through Tucker Carlson and Twitter.com.
00:56:52.000If not for whoever is on Fox News that night, we're going to sell off all of our aircraft carriers and We're going to make a deal with China that they just get to go in and buy all our markets, and we're going to do another war in Iran.
00:57:06.000Unless Tucker Carlson, no, no, no, you can't do that, please, Mr. President.
00:57:45.000All this strain, all this effort, the giant crisis, the biggest crisis of this presidency, maybe of this century, maybe of the last century.
00:57:55.000Well, obviously, notwithstanding like World War II and the Great Depression, but in a long time, great crisis.
00:58:01.000And the best we could do is pull funding from the WHO and threaten to pull out seriously?
00:58:09.000And we were talking about this early on.
00:58:11.000When this stuff first started, back in February or March, the line on this show was We are in the midst of a world historical moment, one of the biggest crises in American history.
00:58:25.000At a time like this, you can do things that are normally impossible.
00:58:29.000If a new world is forged out of this crisis, we can shape it because the president is the one that everyone is looking to for leadership, and the president is Donald Trump.
00:58:41.000An insane opportunity here to affect future outcomes in this country and the texture of life in this country in these weeks and months when we have this coronavirus.
00:58:53.000And this is the kind of shit that we come out of it with an executive order that cuts 30% of green cards for 30 days or 60 days, right?
00:59:02.000We're going to cut funding for the WHO.
00:59:05.000We're going to do a one time $1,200 cash payment to people making less than $100,000.
00:59:55.000So it's bad enough that in order to get the president, in order to stop the president from doing terrible things, we have to rely on Fox, we have to rely on the news.
01:00:06.000But even on top of that, the things that we can't alter, it's not even that good, folks.
01:02:10.000This first term, and you know, the Trump administration in general, it's sort of like the biggest missed opportunity in history within the biggest missed opportunity in American history, right?
01:02:23.000So, I see this WHO letter, and you know, partisans are going to take a side, and you know, Sean Hannity's going to say, This is very wise leadership by the president.
01:02:32.000The WHO caused this, and you know, we shouldn't be giving money to the UN.
01:02:37.000And you're going to have the left that says, We need to fund science.
01:02:40.000This America first is not America alone.
01:02:43.000And I'm over here like, Why didn't Trump?
01:03:17.000It's very, very upsetting, very disappointing.
01:03:21.000It's almost like I feel like you ever watch the movie Patton?
01:03:25.000And we know that when Patton was making his way through Africa and then up through Italy, he slapped a soldier with his glove in World War II.
01:03:35.000I'm talking about General George Patton, dramatized in the movie.
01:03:39.000And because of this infraction, he is basically suspended.
01:03:43.000I don't know the technical terminology, but they tell him, you know, you're not going to be.
01:04:06.000This great money, and even though it is like a crisis and tragic, but it's this great world historical storm where we could have really done something.
01:04:15.000And the storm is coming to an end and the clouds will dissipate.
01:04:21.000And everything will solidify once again back to the way it was.
01:06:13.000And you could say that's whatever, but we all knew that.
01:06:17.000Anyone who looked at that Ahmaud Arbery case, which we started talking about two weeks ago today, where he's the unarmed jogger, it's apprehended by the Travis and I think it's Greg McMichael, this father and son duo with the shotguns.
01:06:34.000Burglaries in the neighborhood, tries to grab the gun, he gets shot.
01:06:39.000Guy's a criminal, gets out, he flees the scene, gets apprehended, he gets nervous, he knows what's about to go down, tries to grab the gun, gets shot.
01:07:06.000I don't even need to see these clips to know what that is.
01:07:09.000I don't need to see anything to know what that's about.
01:07:11.000White people are not going around looking for black people to kill.
01:07:15.000Black people are, however, terrorizing neighborhoods by burglarizing or mugging or killing.
01:07:21.000And we know that because just look at any of these neighborhoods in all the cities I just described.
01:07:26.000So the one narrative that they went with is something that doesn't happen.
01:07:31.000Now, the alternative narrative, which is that this is a criminal who ran and it was a situation that went south and maybe was unfair, but we see what happened, that happens every day.
01:07:41.000That happens every day across the country.
01:07:56.000After the clips last week, the clips last week, which depicted Ahmaud Arbery in this house under construction going back to October of 2019, he's been seen in there regularly for eight months in a house where there's been burglaries, where people have stolen copper pipes.
01:08:14.000From this home that's under construction.
01:08:15.000That's why the cameras were there, because burglaries had been committed in the house.
01:08:19.000So, a week after those clips come out, we get two new clips.
01:08:22.000And one clip is of him, Ahmaud Arbery, in 2017, being apprehended by police at a park.
01:08:29.000And the other is him getting apprehended after he stole a TV from Walmart.
01:08:36.000It says, There are new calls for justice, think about how that's framed, from local civil rights leaders after another video emerged of Ahmaud Arbery.
01:08:47.000The new video is 2017 body camera footage that shows Arbery being questioned after officers found him parked in the grass at a Glynn County park.
01:08:56.000In the November 7th, 2017 video, an officer pulled up to Arbery's parked car and asked what he was doing and for his ID.
01:09:04.000Arbery complied and handed his license over to the officer.
01:09:07.000He became upset as he waited and asked the officer why he was bothering him.
01:09:12.000The officer said, I'll tell you why I'm here because this area is known for drug activity.
01:09:17.000The body camera video shows Arbery cursing at the officer.
01:10:59.000Parked in the grass, drove his car into the grass next to a railroad track with his shirt off with a parka on, chilling, you know, just chilling.
01:11:11.000Officer comes up and says, Yeah, can I see your ID?
01:11:13.000Ahmad Arbery immediately agitated, screaming, moving towards the officer in an aggressive manner, reaching for his pockets.
01:11:22.000And the officer says, You know, you need to back up.
01:12:50.000But it's not because police officers are hunting down black people.
01:12:54.000And in the same way that Ahmaud Arbery was bothered just jogging around by white people, it's the same as him just hanging out in a park being harassed by police.
01:13:24.000He just happened to be shirtless with the park on, parked next to the railroad tracks where drug activity happens, and cops just harass him for no reason.
01:13:33.000He just happens to be in a home under construction that had been burglarized many times, in a neighborhood where there's been a string of burglaries, and people just happened to be calling 911 on him when he was running away from that house.
01:13:48.000Where the burglaries have been committed.
01:14:41.000We all know the kind of person Ahmaud Arbery is.
01:14:44.000And maybe that sounds nasty or cynical, and it is.
01:14:49.000But we all know what's going on in this country.
01:14:51.000We all know the kind of person that Ahmaud Arbery is.
01:14:54.000We know, like, About black crime, okay?
01:14:58.000If you go down the south side of Chicago, you'll find a lot of people like Ahmaud Arbery that, you know, they're in the wrong place at the wrong time or whatever.
01:15:06.000And anywhere else, in St. Louis, in Gary, Indiana.
01:15:11.000And this is the other clip him stealing a television from Walmart.
01:15:16.000It says newly released police body cam video footage shows Georgia slave victim Ahmaud Arbery being handcuffed and arrested for shoplifting in 2017.
01:15:25.000The video dated December 1st, 2017, shows Arbery and three teenagers being confronted by police in the parking lot of a Walmart shopping center, according to the footage posted on YouTube on Tuesday.
01:15:38.000The police officer says, Tell me about the TV.
01:15:41.000Arbery, wearing shorts and a parka, that seems to be his outfit, says, TV?
01:16:04.000Another man, presumably a Walmart employee, approaches and the police officer tells him, It's that one right there with the fur jacket, suggesting Arbury.
01:16:26.000He's driven back to the store where he and the three teenagers are seen walking to the back of the store.
01:16:31.000And into a rear office where the video eventually ends.
01:16:33.000The outcome of the arrest is not clear.
01:16:36.000The release of the footage comes one day after another body cam video, which we just talked about.
01:16:43.000And this is where we're at at this point in the country.
01:16:45.000You've got these civil rights activists and even a lot of really stupid conservatives, really stupid, dishonest, they're one of the two conservatives saying that because we don't have footage of Ahmaud Arbery in the act, there's no reason to believe that he was a burglar.
01:17:04.000You know, because we don't have video of him in the act of.
01:17:08.000Taking something from a house, we can never know what took place inside.
01:17:11.000We can never know why he was really in that home under construction.
01:17:15.000Because we don't have like crystal clear, high definition, unobstructed footage of him grabbing for the shotgun, right, in the video of his death, like there's no reason to believe that he was a criminal.
01:17:29.000Everything that we're seeing points to the same obvious conclusion, the same story that we see every day in this country, which is black criminals.
01:17:39.000Being black criminals, they get shot for it.
01:17:41.000Black criminals violating the law and they get arrested for it.
01:17:45.000And if they resist arrest or too hard, then they get shot.
01:18:01.000Do we need to have Black Panther militia show up to the McMichael's house and get them charged and rile up the whole media and basically start a race war?
01:18:10.000Only to do the due diligence and dig through the record to find out that, oh, actually, this guy just always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
01:18:18.000Just happens to be chilling in the park and, you know, gets apprehended by police.
01:18:22.000Chilling in the Walmart parking lot and they think he stole a TV.
01:18:27.000Like, seriously, we know what's going on.
01:18:31.000And this is the case across the board.
01:18:33.000This is the case across the board with what's happening to the country, what's happening with immigration, what's happening with all these populations.
01:18:41.000We can see with our eyes what is happening to our country.
01:18:45.000We can see with our eyes what is happening to our neighborhoods and to our schools and to our places of business and everywhere.
01:18:53.000And you've got people that are self appointed civil rights activists, academics, media.
01:18:58.000They're going to say, well, according to this study, that's just not happening.
01:19:03.000According to this study, illegal immigrants are actually better than Americans.
01:19:08.000According to this study, blacks are actually more exceptional than anybody else.
01:19:13.000And according to this study, all the, you know, do not believe your lying eyes because the data and blah, blah, blah says otherwise.
01:19:23.000And if you claim against that, well, where's your source?
01:19:47.000They would rather talk about white supremacy.
01:19:50.000They would rather talk about racist cops than they want to talk about black thugs and black criminals.
01:19:56.000That's not to say the blacks aren't the only criminals, but disproportionately, they are way more represented in crime statistics than any other group.
01:21:05.000So, when we see black criminals getting shot by cops, whether it's Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown or Eric Garland or Ahmaud Arbery, we find it much more comfortable and easy to talk about Darren Wilson, George Zimmerman, Travis McMichael, a white racist, than it is to talk about a black criminal.
01:21:24.000Even though it is far more salient in our day to day lives and for our country that these people are committing the crimes.
01:22:04.000That, well, if somebody resists arrest only to this point, Point to a non lethal level that police can only, in some cases, respond with overwhelming force.
01:23:30.000We've been talking about this for a few weeks, but it's just amazing to me that you still have people that, I mean, do you know how frustrating that is?
01:23:37.000That people just cannot admit what's happening in this country.
01:23:42.000Come to terms with what everybody deep down knows in their heart of hearts about this situation.
01:23:48.000People are really going to lie to themselves and delude themselves into thinking that Ahmaud Arbery goes into this house because he's a guy.
01:23:56.000And guys like to look at construction sites.
01:24:51.000And I think if that happened today, people would probably believe it if it was apolitical.
01:24:56.000I think the only reason why that incident was almost universally doubted by conservatives and even by a lot of other people is because of the MAGA hat.
01:25:13.000If the story was, well, some white guy just put a noose around my neck, and, you know, if they just made it a little bit more believable, I feel like everybody would have been on board.
01:25:22.000And also, Jussie Smollett maybe was gay, not really like a criminal, so he didn't really fit the bill of like a, you know, a thug.
01:25:33.000I feel like that's maybe why that narrative was busted by conservatives, because that fit.
01:25:38.000Very conveniently and comfortably and nicely in the paradigm of Hollywood Democrat celebrities versus our president, as opposed to non white thugs against our neighborhoods.
01:27:07.000And I feel like that's lost on a lot of people because it's not saying, I know this is like baby stuff, but we have to say it because you know there's going to be.
01:27:16.000Right Wing Watch article, Media Matters.
01:27:18.000Nick Fuentes says blacks are criminals.
01:27:21.000Again, it's not to say that every black person is a criminal.
01:28:13.000It's sort of like going into Iraq and you got people, you know, whatever you think about the motivations for the war, but you're fighting an insurgency.
01:28:21.000And you got IEDs blowing up and human shields, and like a civilian gets killed, and it's an international incident.
01:29:03.000And when are we going to talk about that as a problem?
01:29:07.000We want to make America a place that's safe for criminals to not get killed by the police when they're on the run, as opposed to making America a place where people can live their lives and conduct their business without being robbed, intimidated, mugged, beaten, killed.
01:29:23.000So this case, it just leaves such a sour taste in my mouth as far as I'm concerned.
01:29:29.000This is one of the worst ones, one of the most blackpilling ones, especially because conservatives.
01:29:35.000Are refusing to acknowledge the obvious here.
01:29:38.000And that just goes to show that is like the litmus test.
01:29:41.000These people are totally divorced from reality now.
01:29:44.000They are hardly any better than the left.
01:29:46.000They would rather embrace a narrative of white lynchings, white supremacist lynchings, than the obvious, which is black crime, because they don't want to talk about race.
01:29:54.000They don't want to say anything critical about a non white group.
01:29:59.000And that just goes to show what they're about.
01:30:01.000That tells you everything you need to know about them.
01:30:14.000I think I said specifically like, people are going to look really dumb when all the criminal records and tapes come out because you knew that was going to happen.
01:33:54.000Like the Roman Empire becomes the Holy Roman Empire.
01:33:57.000It's not the same, obviously, and the population is wildly different, and a lot of things are wildly different, but.
01:34:03.000You know, it's not like, unless you're talking about the Mayans or something weird like that, for the most part, these civilizations kind of appear and disappear and form and reform in different ways, right?
01:34:16.000So, you know, to say that Western civilization will disappear and give way to China, I mean, this is overly reductive and premature.
01:34:24.000I think, yeah, I mean, all civilizations, everything will come to an end.
01:34:28.000I mean, the whole world will come to an end, and all civilizations will come to an end.
01:34:33.000But, um, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.
01:34:38.000And who knows what will replace Western civilization?
01:35:05.000Who knows what can happen in 50 years, 100 years?
01:35:07.000With technology, I mean, people that talk about like the next 100 years, we don't know what the next 20 years are going to look like.
01:35:15.000We're living in such a period of change and rapid change that I just don't put a lot of stock in that.
01:35:24.000You know, even something like Donald Trump, that's always my example.
01:35:27.000Who could have predicted that Donald Trump would become the president?
01:35:29.000Now, obviously, you know, compared to like civilizational events, that is maybe not as major, but it is to say that we are living in a time that's very unpredictable, so to say.
01:36:41.000So many bad tweets, so much shitty content.
01:36:44.000And it's like, you've got a responsibility.
01:36:47.000If you're a content creator and you're, you know, indirectly or directly representing our movement or America First or whatever, do a good job.
01:36:56.000You know, you don't have to say be a try hard.
01:36:58.000Being a try hard sometimes produces the worst content.
01:37:01.000But it is to say, you know, just think before you post.
01:40:39.000Well, I mean, to me, Christianity is the Catholic Church.
01:40:43.000So, I understand what you're saying that we've got evangelicals and we've got Protestants.
01:40:47.000And it is true that a lot of this religious fervor came from the religious awakenings and from.
01:40:52.000The Puritans, and it was a very puritanical founding.
01:40:57.000But fundamentally, this is irrelevant to me because, you know, when we believe in Christianity, we believe in Christianity because it's true.
01:41:05.000I'm Catholic because I believe it's true.
01:41:08.000So, this idea of, well, Puritans made America materially better, or, you know, there's this temporal advantage to America being Puritan, it's like that's great.
01:41:21.000But, um, I don't know really why that's relevant because I still think that if you're not in communion with the Catholic Church, it's going to be hard for you when you die.
01:41:32.000And I think that unless you are Catholic, it's just not going to work.
01:41:36.000I would maybe push back on that by saying that if you look at a nation like Italy or Spain, even though these countries, there's degeneration and even though they're less religious than America, they certainly resemble a more traditional country in a lot of ways than America.
01:41:53.000You know, when we look at the motherland, we look at Europe, this is a civilization that Catholicism created, right?
01:42:00.000When you look at Italy, France, Germany, Spain, that's not to say that, you know, all these countries are totally Catholic or were always Catholic, but I mean, generally speaking, the things that we like about Europe were created by Catholics.
01:42:13.000This, like, good urbanism and cathedrals and this idea of collectivism to some extent or communitarianism.
01:42:56.000And America appears to be degenerating more rapidly than any other country.
01:43:01.000Think about how fast America went from maybe puritanical to what we are now, which is maybe the capital of degeneracy and liberalism and all this in the world.
01:43:11.000So it's a little bit more of a complicated picture than that.
01:43:15.000So it's not to say, and again, it's not only a black and white thing to say, obviously, I think there are benefits of the country being founded puritan.
01:43:27.000Evidence that maybe America has more religiosity because of this, but that's not the complete picture.
01:43:33.000Vito says people warn you not to block so much lest you create an echo chamber, as if your worldview is informed by Twitter replies.
01:44:20.000If I don't have, you know, like a nat sock bitch, you know, nat sock white girl coming in and saying, hey, Nick, you say no eat girls, what about no cat boys?
01:44:30.000If it wasn't for that, you know, I would really be stunted intellectually.
01:44:35.000And also, the echo chamber thing is so retarded.
01:44:37.000It's like we believe in what we believe in.
01:44:52.000It's one thing to say you won't read the opposition or debate the opposition or engage with the opposition, but to say that, like, because you don't want to constantly digest as equally valid as your own ideology, liberals and degenerates and all this, communists, that you're somehow like, that's like solipsistic or that's whatever, that that's a negative, I think that's just totally wrong.
01:45:18.000That is like, you know, this idea of like snowflakes and safe spaces and echo chambers.
01:45:23.000None of this actually has any substance.
01:45:24.000None of this has actually been thought through.
01:45:39.000Like, that's obviously a ridiculous example, but it's meant to demonstrate that being offended or being hurt or even just not liking something does not constitute like a valid argument.
01:46:25.000And the safe space, it's like, well, we want a place where we can kind of organize with like minded people.
01:46:35.000And that's how you create a coherent organization or a community you bring together people that are similar, people that are like, people that are the same.
01:47:20.000But the left, because they think that all conservatives are the same or anybody on the right is the same, anytime I'll say something like that, they'll put in, oh, what are you, a snowflake?
01:49:34.000I mean, there were times when it would be a committee and you'd have another power delegate.
01:49:39.000I'd be in a committee with another power delegate, and it would really just come down to this like naked power struggle in the sense that all pretenses of civility were abandoned, and it got to the point where it was just like shoving and just really nasty stuff, which is totally like inappropriate in the context of like Model UN.
01:50:03.000But you know, because when you go into these competitions, there's this.
01:50:06.000Pretense of like, oh, we're delegates.
01:50:15.000They will do anything it takes to win.
01:50:18.000And when you're in a really competitive conference with another power delegate who's very good and who's very competitive, it turns into like a knife fight.
01:50:26.000You know, not obviously literally, but it turns into something where it's just very hostile, very tense.
01:50:33.000And I do remember like being in an unmoderated caucus in the hall and I'd be trying to, you know, talk to somebody.
01:50:41.000And win them over to be a signatory on my resolution.
01:50:44.000And, you know, a UC lab kid would come over and, you know, interrupt me, and I'd have to be like, hey, excuse me, I'm talking to this person.
01:50:52.000Or literally just shove people around.
01:50:54.000Like if you're in a crowd of people and you're, you know, taking down ideas or something, like you literally have to push and shove to the front of the crowd.
01:51:02.000And sometimes it gets really nasty because if they want to win, they're not going to let you shove your way through.
01:51:35.000Maybe some people can relate if you're in Model UN.
01:51:38.000Maybe you can relate if you're like, I don't know.
01:51:42.000If you're like a professional and it's competitive in your industry or something, it's not like a fight in a Walmart parking lot, like a World Star thing.
01:51:51.000I know it's not a bar fight, but it is like a tension that's on a different level.
01:51:56.000It's like a subtle, veiled, sort of slow burning tension.
01:52:03.000But it's very exciting, very exciting stuff.
01:52:06.000I know most people probably are not going to relate to that, but my model UN people are.
01:52:11.000Maybe those people out there will strongly relate.
01:52:15.000Vito says I remember asking my fifth grade teacher if one of the white kids in class was black because of his big lips.
01:55:17.000I've always thought it's interesting we're not taught about him, but you basically come out of the womb knowing about MLK, Rosa Parks, He Above the Great Work, man.
01:55:49.000They talk about, like you said, the approved people.
01:55:52.000And it's amazing that even on the left, they've sort of picked and choosed who is going to be these mythological figures and who's going to be the sort of founding fathers of this civil rights ideology.
01:59:42.000Now, we can try and work back towards something like that or preserve what's left of it, but this idea that we're on the same page is wrong.
01:59:50.000So, how are we going to move forward together?
02:01:08.000Because the thing about Stefan, I've said this before, he'll come right up to the line on these issues just enough where you think that he's an honest guy and then backs away when it counts.
02:01:19.000He'll come right up to the line suggesting, like, you know, a weird Jewish nepotism thing and a weird, like, anti white Jewish phenomenon and, like, this Israel First phenomenon.
02:01:32.000But actually, I'm Jewish, and my grandma died in the Holocaust, and I'm actually totally Jewish, and I hate anti Semitism, blah, Okay, really?
02:01:40.000And of course, how he did me dirty during the Groyper Wars, he was all giving, paying lip service to the Groyper Wars during the initial QA's in October and November.
02:01:54.000And then Con Inc. came back with the Holocaust thing, and he said, oh, I disavow you, I disavow Holocaust denial, and I'm unfollowing you, and blah, blah, blah.
02:02:10.000You really just care about donations and kind of like, I don't even know, sucking Mike Cernovich's dick or whatever, sucking Jack Posobic's dick.
02:02:19.000You want to like clout chase off them because you get no views on your videos anymore.
02:02:23.000I think that's really where his priorities are at.
02:02:26.000Greg Heffley says, Hey, Nick, I hope my super chat goes through.
02:02:29.000I'm using Rowley's dad's computer because Roderick locked me out of the house.
02:02:34.000Hope your day is going better than mine.
02:03:46.000Some of them, they tweet every day about me.
02:03:48.000I blocked them long ago, and they tweet every day or every other day about me, hating on me.
02:03:56.000You know, they hate the way I look, they hate the way I sound, they hate my ideas, they want me to be poor, they think I'm gonna lose, they think I'm whatever, controlled by China, right?
02:04:07.000And, you know, I was thinking about it, and it's like, you have to put yourself in their shoes because for years, maybe for a year and a half, it was Wignatz versus America first.
02:04:20.000And we kind of came from a similar milieu in the sense that we were on Twitter, we were dissonant right.
02:04:26.000We kind of came from the same starting point, not in terms of our ideas, but in terms of being in the dissonant right broadly on the internet.
02:05:02.000And at first, it was totally one sided.
02:05:04.000I was the only one critiquing the alt right from a right wing perspective, in the sense that obviously a lot of people critique the alt right, but I was the only one saying, well, listen, I think white racial consciousness is important and there's something to this Jewish stuff, but we've got to be pragmatic.
02:05:24.000I'm not ready to give up America, and I'm actually Christian, and we have to be a Christian movement, and so on.
02:05:29.000You know, we started to flesh out the differences.
02:05:31.000And at first, it was like, I remember Eli Mosley calling me up on the phone.
02:05:37.000We weren't even like friends, but he calls me up, and he's like, dude, you got to be careful.
02:05:40.000When you counter signal Richard Spencer and you counter signal the alt right, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it.
02:05:46.000You're a new guy, and like, you know, you're up and coming, and you're going to end up like Ramsey Paul.
02:05:52.000Nobody's going to want to talk to you, nobody's going to invite you to the pool parties or whatever.
02:07:56.000You know, it's like when you play risk with somebody or Monopoly or diplomacy, and it becomes obvious at a certain point that one person's going to win, and then it's just like hour after hour of losing.
02:08:09.000Hours, like, you know, when you play a board game, because board games take a long time, and at a certain point you can't come back.
02:08:17.000And after that, after that sort of point, after you turn that corner, then it's just like, I'm just getting my ass kicked in a progressively more brutal way until I just am done, you know?
02:08:35.000It's like, you know, 6,000, 7,000 people watching every night.
02:08:39.000They can't do anything near that, anything like that.
02:08:43.000And there's this like jealousy component of like, we came from the same place.
02:08:48.000And yet, here you are, and here I am, wallowing in my shit, you know, wallowing in my own excrement.
02:08:55.000So, there's like that, this like seething jealousy, but also at the same time, this humiliation, which is to say that they're basically have been blocked and discarded, you know, and ignored.
02:09:06.000You know, they're over there seething jealously and, you know, trying to antagonize, and we won't even give them the time of day.
02:11:49.000And also because, you know, that was cumulative.
02:11:53.000You know, so after so many of these seizures of land, I mean, you can't say, well, this one was more severe, but I mean, that was one of the first land grabs.
02:12:06.000So, you could say that after the Anschluss, after the Sudetenland, after all that, plus the war.
02:12:12.000I mean, I'm not a World War II expert, but I mean, you must know that that war guarantee existed.
02:12:21.000So, I don't know if you're asking me, like, why did that happen or why would they give a war guarantee or a defense pact, is what I mean.
02:12:31.000But I'm not, this is not really a history show.
02:18:48.000Seeing it in theaters and just like watching it over and over again as a kid.
02:18:52.000I would just play the last 20 minutes, which was I would go into the DVD to the scene selection and go to the scene when I would go to the scene.
02:19:05.000It would probably be like right around when Obi-Wan goes to confront Anakin on Mustafar.
02:19:11.000And you get that dialogue, and then you get the lightsaber fight, and then you get Yoda and Palpatine at the same time, and I would just watch that last 20 minutes just like over and over again.
02:19:24.000So, anyway, so it's a happy anniversary.
02:26:42.000When was the last time we even talked about Sof?
02:26:44.000I saw the Groypers were in her chat, and I heard there was like a tiff between some of the Groypers and her, but no, no, we didn't call on anybody to attack her.
02:26:55.000Snarf says, Cerno gets a broken jaw if he comes near my crotch.
02:27:29.000The thing is, it would just kind of be tough because we would have to get a lot of accounts to do that.
02:27:36.000We had to burn through like five accounts with more than 1,000 followers, which is not easy to get like five accounts with 1,000 followers that are pre existing, that have been there for like, you know, at least 24 hours or whatever it is.
02:27:49.000So maybe I would have to plan for that, but yeah, I'll think about that.
02:27:53.000Ocular Joker says, favorite Star Wars character?
