00:01:05.000That's just got to be cut from the intro.
00:01:08.000But anyway, our featured story tonight is about George Floyd Square, which.
00:01:17.000You know, I don't know if people even know this is a thing.
00:01:19.000I only found out about it recently when media crews were covering the first anniversary of George Floyd's death, and they were doing it at George Floyd Square, where apparently they've erected a literal shrine to George Floyd in the middle of the intersection where he died, and somebody was shot, actually.
00:01:42.000That's how I found out about it because, you know, I don't watch TV, I don't watch the news.
00:01:47.000Apparently, they were doing some coverage of the George Floyd Memorial Square, the location where he died on the anniversary of his death.
00:01:57.000And the only reason I saw it is because while they were filming live coverage of this, somebody got shot at George Floyd Square in the middle of it, which is very fitting, of course.
00:02:08.000But I didn't know that this even existed for a long time.
00:02:11.000That wasn't even something that was present in my mind.
00:02:15.000And I feel like a lot of people don't realize that either.
00:02:19.000Giant shrine of a black power fist with a garden around it, and apparently, like a paramilitary group guarding it, too, to George Floyd.
00:02:32.000And so, the big story tonight, our featured story, is about how the city of Minneapolis has begun to clear some of that away to allow traffic to go through the intersection.
00:02:44.000And the George Floyd paramilitary force has reconstructed the barriers around the intersection, not allowing traffic to go.
00:03:03.000We now have this quasi paramilitary group which is contesting control over an intersection in Minneapolis because they have designated that the George Floyd Square.
00:03:15.000So apparently now nobody is allowed to drive through there, nobody is allowed to walk through there.
00:03:20.000That is now occupied territory by basically armed race soldiers.
00:03:26.000Armed black race soldiers who are protecting it from public utility.
00:03:33.000We'll also be talking tonight about Russia.
00:03:36.000The great, the great Vladimir Putin, Honorable President Putin of Russia, who I'm sure maybe you've seen this on social media, the Foreign Ministry of Russia has said that Vladimir Putin will bring up the violation of the human rights of capital protesters in meeting with.
00:03:56.000Biden in an upcoming meeting between Biden and Putin in Switzerland, which will be very interesting because, you know, of course, we have had this interesting relationship with Russia since the end of World War II.
00:04:10.000And ever since the beginning of the Cold War, this has been a tactic of the United States, which is to portray Russia, formerly the Soviet Union, and this reached its apogee under Reagan as an evil empire.
00:04:25.000You know, because of our geopolitical bipolar struggle, and by bipolar, I don't mean like the You know, psychological condition, I mean a bipolar world order.
00:04:35.000That is, the world is bifurcated between two separate poles, Washington, D.C., and Moscow.
00:04:41.000Since the beginning of the Cold War, the State Department and the CIA and the American government have tried to portray our geopolitical conflict with the Soviet Union and now Russia, not merely as a conflict between two competing regimes and two competing states, but it's a moral struggle between good and evil.
00:05:40.000I don't know that that was ever 100% the case because, of course, I don't think there are really good guys in the world when it's between the KGB and the CIA.
00:05:51.000Nevertheless, certainly at one time it was more true than it is now because now it's completely inverted.
00:05:56.000Now Russia is obviously, if anybody's on the side of good, I don't know that anybody is, but if anybody would be, it's Russia.
00:06:04.000And if anybody's on the side of evil, it's America.
00:06:08.000And so it's going to be kind of interesting that for years there's been this moral background to the conflict, and America has always pressured Russia for their human rights abuses and their tyranny.
00:06:22.000And the State Department says that Russia uses whataboutism as a tactic to counter our moralizing.
00:06:29.000When we go and Kennedy meets with Khrushchev, and Nixon meets with Brezhnev, and Reagan meets with Gorbachev, and so on.
00:06:37.000And America wags our finger and says, you know, you invaded Budapest, you invaded Czech Republic, you invaded Afghanistan.
00:06:45.000Well, the State Department copes by saying, when Russia turns that around and says, hey, you know, what about America's involvement in coups around the world?
00:06:53.000What about America's support for tyrannical regimes?
00:06:57.000The State Department says, well, that's whataboutism.
00:07:13.000I'll be hosting an episode of Good Morning Groyper tomorrow at noon Central Time only on my Telegram channel.
00:07:20.000Well, I actually stream it on this website too, but if you want to participate in the show and call in and be there live, you got to be in the Telegram channel, and that is t.me slash nickjfuentes.
00:07:34.000That's the link t.me slash nickjfuentes.
00:07:37.000So if you don't have it already, download Telegram on mobile or desktop, make an account, follow me there.
00:07:44.000And also, turn on notifications for this website.
00:07:47.000If you go below the video player, I think it's over here.
00:07:52.000If you look below the video player on this website on AmericaFirst.live, you could see a little bell icon that says subscribe.
00:08:00.000If you click on that, you can subscribe for push notifications for the show that will alert you when the show goes live.
00:08:07.000So if you don't know when the show goes live and you want to be reminded, set notifications to on, turn them on, and you'll be notified when we go live.
00:08:18.000Also, I should have said this yesterday, but I didn't.
00:08:22.000We have finally begun to process most of the merch orders.
00:08:28.000I know some people are wondering, saying, you know, I bought an America First hat, but I didn't get a confirmation email.
00:08:35.000We processed about 200 orders today, and we'll be processing 90% of the orders within the next few days.
00:08:45.000Okay, so probably by the end of next week, I think we should have all of the hats confirmed, sent out, orders processed.
00:08:54.000So if you bought a hat earlier, I guess it's June, but if you bought a hat, we were sold out for the entire month of June.
00:09:01.000If you bought a hat in late April or in the month of May, you will be getting a confirmation email within the next week, and your hat hopefully will be shipped to you, and you should receive it very soon.
00:09:12.000So, like I said, Assistant Groyper has been hard at work.
00:09:36.000You know, you got to be patient with us.
00:09:39.000We're trying really hard to kind of get everything back together.
00:09:45.000You know, it's always difficult, of course, to run this operation because we don't have the advantage of using all of the services that every other business gets to use.
00:09:57.000If any other business wants to sell something like we're selling it, you know what they do?
00:10:03.000They make a Facebook advertisement, they advertise their product, they sell it on their website, and they use PayPal or Stripe or something.
00:10:12.000And they use a merch fulfillment service, and it's all super convenient, super cheap, super easy.
00:10:18.000Of course, we're banned from all of that.
00:10:21.000So everything that we use has to be censorship proof, custom built.
00:10:26.000We have to jump through a lot of hoops to do it.
00:10:29.000So I hope you guys can appreciate that.
00:10:32.000We're really trying our best to obviously put the show out and still do merch and still do all these things.
00:10:38.000And we will get to a point within this year where it's going to be just almost just as good as any other service.
00:10:46.000There's just a few hurdles we have to overcome, but we're working very hard to achieve full functionality so that, as far as you're concerned, on your end, it's just as easy for you to order merch, watch the show, buy a super chat, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
00:11:03.000On your end, we're trying to work as hard as possible to make it as convenient as we can given our circumstances.
00:11:10.000It's just growing pains because we're still recovering a little bit from January 6th.
00:11:14.000Deplatform from everything since then has made it really challenging.
00:11:18.000So, for example, with our merch, we've had to use Bitcoin crypto, well, rather a Litecoin cryptocurrency, PayServer, and eChecks, which are not an ideal way to process payments.
00:11:41.000And if you haven't been patient, I'm really, it's really, I don't like when people are not patient because there's no reason you shouldn't be patient, okay?
00:11:51.000We're doing our best under the circumstances and we're getting better all the time.
00:11:56.000So, for those that are patient, thank you.
00:12:00.000If you're not patient, well, you know, you should learn to be patient because that's part of life.
00:12:05.000And we're trying to fight for our country here, so patience is kind of required.
00:12:09.000And if it takes a little bit longer than expected to receive the hat that you ordered, You know, and that's going to upset your whole apple cart.
00:13:22.000If you go on Fox News any day of the week, if you go on the Fox website, if you go on conservative Twitter, this is all everybody is talking about the lab leak hypothesis, which is this.
00:13:36.000At some point during the coronavirus outbreak last year, some people speculated that the origin of the virus was not a wet market, it wasn't an animal transmission from a bat, but it was some kind of leaked virus.
00:13:51.000Bioweapon or experiment from a laboratory in Wuhan run by the Chinese.
00:13:57.000So people said that last year and they were called liars.
00:14:04.000And now, a year later, some of the health experts have started to say that maybe that theory is plausible after all.
00:14:11.000They haven't confirmed it, they haven't denied it, but they've changed their position on it.
00:14:16.000Now, social media platforms, the CDC, elements in the government are finally coming out and saying, It certainly is possible, although unverified, that the virus originated in a laboratory rather than a wet market.
00:14:33.000This is all they've been talking about for the past week.
00:14:36.000And this has been bolstered by the release of the Fauci emails yesterday, which I covered, which indicated that as early as February of 2020, almost, or not almost, over, well over a full year ago, Anthony Fauci.
00:14:54.000He showed some signs that he agreed that it was plausible that the virus originated in a laboratory.
00:15:02.000And so, what's not really so important, the latest email leaks, what I'm really trying to get at is everybody is talking about this lab leak hypothesis.
00:15:11.000And to me, that in itself shows you that it doesn't matter.
00:15:18.000For the past couple of weeks, I've been saying, and others have been saying this too, many of my friends, Revolver has been saying this, our friends at dailywire.com.
00:15:29.000I think that's the latest link for Daily Wire content.
00:15:33.000A lot of smart people have been saying this, and I agree, which is that the origin of the virus actually doesn't matter that much.
00:15:42.000And the lab leak hypothesis, while interesting and certainly a matter of interest, doesn't really matter that much.
00:15:51.000And the reason that it doesn't matter is because whether the virus came from a wet market or came from a laboratory, the virus was probably fake in the sense that it's not as deadly as they said it was.
00:16:04.000It turns out that the real damage that has been wrought on society did not come from the coronavirus itself, which was overblown and overstated, as we all know.
00:16:15.000The real damage came from the mask mandates, the lockdowns, and now the experimental mRNA vaccine.
00:16:43.000We know it came here, and we know that it killed probably an insignificant number of people because the amount of people that died last year was roughly the same as the number of people that died the year before.
00:16:55.000We know that the real damage economically, physiologically, socially, culturally, in every way, came from the government's, the American government's overreaction to it.
00:17:08.000It was the American government which locked down the schools and locked down the businesses and shut down trade and shut down travel.
00:17:15.000It was the American government that enforced the mask mandate.
00:17:18.000It was the American government that facilitated the creation of this experimental vaccine and is now distributing it and promoting it.
00:17:28.000So, you know, it doesn't really matter so much where the virus came from, that's immaterial to the real damage which has been done by the American regime.
00:17:39.000Not by China, whether it's a bat or a lab, it was the American regime which did the damage.
00:17:45.000And to me, what basically proves that this is the case is look, the media is not going to accept or embrace narratives that are contrary to their interests.
00:17:57.000And I was just talking to a friend about this earlier today, old friend of the show, Poo Poo King 420, if you must know, that when the media embraces, or actually, I think it was also in Daily Wire too.
00:18:11.000When the media embraces a narrative, that in itself tells you that the narrative isn't really going to reveal a whole lot about what's going on.
00:18:22.000In other words, if the media is now finally promoting this lab leak hypothesis, if this is now accepted on Facebook, if this is now promoted in mainstream media, if this is now promoted by Fox News on the front page every day, that tells you that that narrative isn't really threatening to the interests of the media.
00:18:41.000If this was something that mattered, if this is something that had real consequence, They wouldn't be running it.
00:18:49.000And so now that the origin of the virus is really of no consequence, now they feel like it's finally safe and appropriate for them to say, okay, well, you know, maybe we weren't so certain about the origin.
00:19:06.000Now that it doesn't matter anymore, they don't care.
00:19:09.000And they're putting it out there, and that tells you that they don't care, and they don't care because it doesn't matter.
00:19:15.000The media is not going to put out narratives that are really going to tell you what's going on in the Country.
00:19:20.000The media is not going to embrace things that are going to really show you who the real cause of the problems are in the country.
00:19:28.000They're not going to put things out there that are damaging the American regime.
00:19:36.000That they're embracing it tells you that that's what this is.
00:19:40.000And now you have all these conservatives looking at China and looking at Fauci when they should be looking at the American government and they should be looking at the vaccine and they should be looking at the CDC.
00:19:51.000They should be looking at Bill Gates and the billionaires.
00:19:54.000They should be looking at the wealth transfer that occurred over the last year.
00:19:57.000They should be looking at the lockdowns and the masks.
00:20:00.000But instead, conservatives are preoccupied with China, holding China accountable, which, by the way, is a narrative that benefits the regime because this kind of warmongering, saber rattling with China, who do you think that benefits?
00:20:15.000That benefits the State Department, defense contractors, the military industrial complex, and on and on.
00:20:21.000You know, don't for one second think that being a hardcore anti China conservative is a dissident position to have.
00:22:20.000If you want to get your COVID stimulus this year as a farmer, as a restaurant, as a 1099 self employed individual, as a small business, you literally, this is the legal, this is the law.
00:22:38.000And there have been lawsuits about this on behalf of farmers, restaurateurs, because white farmers are applying for the farm aid and being told it's only for non white people.
00:22:50.000And restaurant owners are applying for the money that was specifically appropriated, COVID stimulus money specifically appropriated for restaurant owners.
00:22:59.000And they're being told, you are not a priority group.
00:23:03.000You cannot apply for the relief because you're white.
00:23:08.000And people have sued over this and lost, specifically in Tennessee.
00:23:12.000Restaurant owners sued the government because the restaurant relief was designated for non whites and not for whites.
00:23:37.000Wall Street and Silicon Valley pick up where Main Street left off.
00:23:42.000And then number two is that out of the businesses that do survive and the workers that do survive, now the government is implementing this racial redistribution program, this caste system, where the people that are getting hired in new jobs and everything, They're non white people who are being hired to meet racial quotas, promoted to meet racial quotas.
00:24:04.000And the people that are getting the relief to sustain or revive businesses are non white.
00:24:30.000Transfer the wealth from white business owners to non white business owners.
00:24:34.000China didn't shut down the schools or your place of business.
00:24:38.000China didn't force your kid to wear a mask while they were running track and they pass out on the field.
00:24:43.000China didn't force your little toddler to wear a mask to preschool and they come home and it's black because it's full of bacteria and moisture and terrible things.
00:24:54.000China did not create the vaccine, which is causing blood clotting and cerebral palsy and paralysis and cardiovascular problems.
00:25:06.000So, why are we talking about this thing that the media does not even see as a threat because they're now promoting it and social media is not censoring it?
00:25:16.000I don't want to hear about the lab leak hypothesis.
00:25:19.000The only significance of it, which I've said yesterday and recently, is that it demonstrates that the government has the willingness and the ability to lie.
00:25:28.000And it undermines trust in public institutions, which is a good thing because they're untrustworthy.
00:25:39.000You should have known that after 9 11.
00:25:41.000You should have known that after the Iraq war.
00:25:43.000You should have known that after the Las Vegas shooting.
00:25:46.000You should have known that after the 2016 election.
00:25:48.000You should have known that after the Russia hoax.
00:25:51.000You should have known that after the Ukrainian impeachment or the Capitol riot or the ballot fraud in the 2020 election.
00:25:59.000And you should have figured it out about COVID last year, at some point last year.
00:26:06.000And that's the only significance of the lab leak hypothesis suddenly becoming popular.
00:26:13.000But aside from that, it is a big fat diversion, which is safe for the media to now promote because it's diverting people's attention from the real problem, which is that the midterms have to be a bloodbath for every government official that promoted this.
00:26:29.000I mean, that is who needs to be held accountable.
00:26:32.000Those are the people that need to be held accountable.
00:26:34.000How could there be a single Republican governor that was party to this?
00:26:50.000I mean, the damage from this lockdown will ripple and reverberate for generations.
00:26:55.000And think about all the people that were wiped out under threat of legal action.
00:27:01.000You cannot open your business, so the cops come in and fine you and shut you down.
00:27:05.000The cops force people to go out of business and then selectively tell people, well, some will remain in business because they're not white.
00:27:16.000Certainly, none of these people should be getting reelected.
00:27:19.000And the anger and animosity from all of this pain, the coming vax debts, the economic pain, all of that should be directed at the American government, not China, because China didn't do this.
00:27:33.000And that's why this is being promoted, because people want you to look over there and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
00:27:39.000So, anyway, that's not even the big news today, okay?
00:27:43.000That's just a little sidebar, but I'm so sick and tired of seeing this.
00:27:48.000And I put out a tweet today saying as much.
00:27:50.000I said, I don't care about the lab leak.
00:29:01.000I mean, you could think of many, many examples over the past five years.
00:29:05.000I can't think of a single example in my entire life when I felt like the Chinese spies or the Chi Coms were out to get me.
00:29:15.000And that goes for Russia, that goes for a lot of it.
00:29:17.000That goes for Hamas, that goes for Iran, that goes for, you know, all of that.
00:29:23.000You know what has come after me though?
00:29:25.000Zionists, Zionist Jews, regular Jews, the American government, the FBI, big tech, American big tech companies, American corporations, American universities.
00:29:38.000That's what American conservatives, American political parties.
00:30:20.000It's about how Vladimir Putin is going to bring up the human rights abuses perpetrated against the Capitol protesters by the American government.
00:30:31.000To Joe Biden in an upcoming bilateral summit in Switzerland.
00:30:35.000It says, quote, Russian President Vladimir Putin is prepared to press Biden on the human rights of capital rioters when they meet this month in Switzerland, according to the country's top diplomat.
00:30:48.000Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said alleged rioters are being persecuted and that Putin will turn the tables on Biden over U.S. support for Russian dissidents, such as the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who last year survived poisoning attempts.
00:31:18.000For example, we are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6th this year.
00:31:26.000He said that in the U.S., a lot of really interesting things are happening from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights.
00:31:40.000Biden will meet with Putin for the first time of his presidency in about two weeks in Geneva.
00:31:45.000The meeting follows a rocky period for U.S. Russia relations, punctuated by the hack last month of the colonial pipeline by cyber criminals suspected of residing in Russia.
00:31:57.000The hack caused gas stations to run dry throughout the southeastern U.S.
00:32:02.000This week, a large U.S. meat company, JBS Foods, revealed its operations have been crippled by a similar cyber attack.
00:32:09.000Biden in April offered Putin a summer summit during a phone call in which he informed him of U.S. plans to expel diplomats.
00:32:17.000And apply new sanctions as punishment for the solar winds hack and alleged Russian meddling in the 2020 election.
00:32:24.000The Biden administration last month, however, decided not to pursue sanctions to deter the construction of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, which the U.S. fears will make NATO allies economically dependent on Russia.
00:32:37.000So, this is what I've been talking about now for a long, long time, which is that the American government is now the enemy of American dissidents.
00:32:53.000We've covered it extensively on the show.
00:32:55.000The American government, the federal government, the agencies, the bureaucracy, all of that is now being weaponized against political dissent within the United States and specifically against right wing, nationalist, Christian, conservative political dissenters.
00:33:10.000Trump supporters, this broad category of people, they are under the gun.
00:33:16.000They are in the crosshairs of the state.
00:33:19.000Unfortunately, there is no institution in America.
00:33:22.000That is on our side, that is more powerful than the federal government.
00:33:26.000Think of all the American institutions that are working against American dissidents.
00:33:31.000Big tech, which those companies happen to be the biggest companies in the world, Wall Street, academia, which is all the universities and specifically all the elite universities.
00:34:22.000We know that most of the billionaires in America are in the favor of broadly globalist interests or they're leftist.
00:34:29.000And where there are pockets of right wing dissent in terms of elite billionaires, elite institutions in the media, people like Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump, they're few and far between.
00:34:41.000And however much strength we have, it's not really enough to overcome the institutional power of all the American institutions put together, which are against us.
00:34:51.000What's more is that for now, and this is decreasingly the case, or rather, increasingly, this is not the case, but for the past three decades, This has been particularly problematic because the American institutions run the whole world.
00:35:06.000Hollywood creates the culture which sets the trends for the whole world.
00:35:11.000Mainstream media in America is influential all over the world.
00:35:15.000American social media is influential all over the world.
00:35:18.000The American government can project power all over the world.
00:35:22.000The intelligence community can operate all over the world.
00:36:12.000Because if we have rival countries like Russia and China that are rising, that means that Russia and China and other countries can influence America.
00:36:23.000Russia and China can influence the world.
00:36:26.000And that's not to say that Russia and China are necessarily better than the United States.
00:36:32.000It's not to say that they're morally superior.
00:36:34.000It's not to say that they're benevolent.
00:36:36.000It's not to say that they're righteous and we are not.
00:36:40.000All political actors are self interested.
00:36:44.000All governments are controlled by political actors.
00:36:48.000And so when you're looking at Beijing or Moscow, it's not because they believe in human rights that they would support something like what Sergei Lavrov is talking about.
00:37:00.000But the rise of rival powers like Russia and China, the benefit is because only the American regime has a vested interest in persecuting its dissidents because American dissidents are dissenting against what?
00:37:16.000American dissidents oppose the American regime.
00:37:20.000The American regime is in control of America.
00:37:23.000And so the threat to the American regime's rule over America comes from the American dissidents.
00:37:29.000So naturally, that is an antagonism which only exists in America.
00:37:33.000Russia and China may not be morally better than Washington, D.C., they may not be righteous, they may not be more principled than Washington, D.C., but American dissidents are not a threat to the Russian regime.
00:37:48.000American dissidents are not a threat to the Chinese regime.
00:37:52.000And so, therefore, if Russia and China are influencing the world and America is in the world, you've got state institutions, Russian national institutions, Chinese national institutions, which may be as powerful or someday more powerful than American institutions, or at least it's more multipolar.
00:38:14.000Maybe there's not one country which is more powerful than all the others put together, but you've got other.
00:38:21.000Sources of power in the world that are not so explicitly against American dissidents.
00:38:28.000At the bare minimum, while Russia may not be more principled, they are not dead set on killing American dissidents.
00:38:35.000Edward Snowden, when he fled America because the American regime was trying to kill him or throw him in a cage and torture him and all of that, where did Edward Snowden go?
00:38:47.000Did Russia give Edward Snowden political asylum because Russia is so principled, because they really believe in human rights, or because They're the real liberals or something.
00:38:57.000No, they did that because it would piss off America.
00:39:00.000They did that because America is a rival, and having Edward Snowden in Moscow would be an affront to America.
00:39:07.000That would be like a big middle finger to America.
00:39:10.000And so, understand Russia has an interest in doing that because of the dynamics between the two countries, but that Russia is independent of America means that somebody like Edward Snowden has a place to go.
00:39:24.000And the same can be said about China in the future.
00:39:27.000And if other countries in the world are under the influence of Russian or Chinese institutions, Let's say, for example, that Europe one day has Chinese 5G.
00:39:38.000American telecommunications companies and social media companies hate American dissidents.
00:39:45.000Chinese telecommunications and social media companies might not.
00:39:54.000And so, if you have Chinese telecom and social media in Europe one day because it's higher tech, it's more advanced, it's cheaper, whatever.
00:40:04.000Maybe it's a result of political pressure from Beijing as Beijing becomes more powerful.
00:40:09.000Either way, this now expands the umbrella of protection for American dissidents.
00:40:15.000Maybe in the future, American dissidents cannot use any American telecom or social media, but they could use a Chinese telecom or social media, or a Turkish social media telecom, or a Russian telecom or social media in America or outside of America.
00:40:35.000This is a very important and nuanced point to make.
00:40:39.000Russia taking a stand against America on this issue is not because Russia is more principled than America.
00:40:46.000Russia is doing this very cynically out of self interest.
00:40:49.000America promotes astroturfed, or in some cases even organic, dissent in Russia.
00:40:59.000They're a rival, plain and simple, because Russia has a conventional military power and a nuclear arsenal that is almost at parity with the United States.
00:41:09.000So, just their relative and absolute power makes them theoretically a threat to America and therefore a rival that has to be undermined, surveilled, has to be contained and kept in check.
00:41:22.000So, America has this interest in promoting dissent in Russia, promoting Alexei Navalny, promoting these liberal groups or opposition groups.
00:41:30.000It is for the same reason that Russia would talk about the Capitol rioters in D.C. and so called human rights abuses.
00:41:38.000It's because having the moral high ground.
00:41:41.000While not tangible, produces some benefit, produces some influence over countries, over world opinion.
00:41:48.000You know, this is one school of thought on international relations that the perception of ideas, the perception of morality, and things like that can influence the behavior of states.
00:41:59.000And so, if Russia can say, Well, I know you are, but what am I?
00:42:03.000Yeah, we do human rights abuses, so do you.
00:42:06.000This undermines America's moral credibility, certain category of their power projection or persuasion.
00:42:14.000In the United Nations, in diplomacy with foreign countries.
00:42:18.000So, in any case, the point is to say they're not doing this because they're principled.
00:42:22.000They're doing it because they're self interested, but we are self interested too as political actors.
00:42:28.000And insofar as Russia will stick up for us for whatever reason, it is a good thing when Russia does that.
00:42:34.000It is a good thing when Russia humiliates America on the world stage.
00:42:38.000It is a good thing when Russia and China combined increase in relative global power and influence.
00:42:44.000That is a good thing for American dissonance.
00:43:06.000I mean, as far as the political dynamic goes, you've got Democrats, you've got Republicans, you've got people that are totally apathetic, and it is a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of people that you could call American dissidents.
00:43:20.000And like I said, we have no concentrated institutional power, and it'd be very difficult to infiltrate, overcome, you know, anything like that, or fight them openly, God forbid.
00:43:32.000And that is because our enemies are in control of the institutions, and these institutions cannot be displaced.
00:44:09.000Maybe you've got a coalition of countries which their combined financial and military strength is more than that of the United States.
00:44:18.000Maybe not more than the United States plus NATO, but it's more than the United States.
00:44:23.000And that means that these countries can exert influence in the other direction.
00:44:27.000Instead of America sanctioning countries to accept gay rights, or America sanctioning countries to educate women, or sanctioning countries to have a real democracy, Or sending in NATO airstrikes to enforce a free and fair election, maybe there's influence coming in the other direction, but from a good direction.
00:44:46.000Maybe there's an axis of countries who are more traditional, more nationalistic, more, you know, closer to where we are as dissidents, and they're putting pressure back the other way.
00:44:59.000That would give us an opening, that would give us a little bit of momentum and a little bit of cachet to start to displace the American regime.
00:45:10.000And if you think about the American Revolutionary War or the Civil War or the Russian Revolution or the Iranian Revolution, many times when entrenched regimes are displaced, it doesn't happen only from within.
00:45:25.000I don't know that we could really pull ourselves up from our own bootstraps.
00:45:29.000In the American Revolution, it was largely with the help, either in terms of non interference or active support from foreign countries, that allowed us to win the war for independence.
00:45:41.000In the Civil War, The Confederacy was broken because they could not get support from foreign countries.
00:45:49.000If the American Confederacy had support from France or other European countries, there's a chance that they could have won the war against the North.
00:45:59.000And the same goes for many other similar conflicts over the course of American and world history.
00:46:05.000So, all of this is to say we've got to look at the bigger picture and think big.
00:46:12.000The American regime hates you, it's spying on you.
00:46:25.000So, why then would you go and cheer it on against Russia?
00:46:28.000Why then would you go on the State Department that's occupied with a lot of Jewish people, State Department occupied by hardcore left wing people, radical BLM activists, gay people, and trans people that hate you and want you in jail and work to do that?
00:46:45.000Why would you root for the State Department in their negotiations with China or Russia?
00:46:50.000Out of some misplaced sense of patriotism?
00:46:57.000No, what you're doing is putting the American regime over your own people.
00:47:02.000The State Department is not the country.
00:47:04.000Newsflash Washington, D.C. is not the country.
00:47:08.000These sick people that are in the government, these forever bureaucrats who are never elected, who hate America, don't believe in America, don't believe in nations for that matter, they are not America.
00:47:18.000That's not putting country over party.
00:47:21.000So when I look at the American delegation to the United Nations or to these summits, With Russia or China, I'm not cheering them on because they don't represent me, they're not me.
00:47:31.000They represent a parasitic occupation over our country.
00:47:46.000And people gotta wisen up because now what I see Republicans doing, like I said earlier in the show, is they're diverting all this energy to China.
00:47:56.000And they're saying China's the problem.
00:48:02.000In a very similar way with Russia, you're going to see in the next decade the American regime is going to ratchet up the pressure on China.
00:48:11.000Russia's got the sanctions regime, Russia's got all this propaganda directed at it about election fraud and all this kind of stuff.
00:48:20.000You're going to see that increasingly directed against China.
00:48:41.000What were those three trade negotiations or trade agreements about?
00:48:46.000It was about financially containing China in the Pacific.
00:48:50.000That was under the Obama administration.
00:48:52.000That was under a Democratic administration.
00:48:55.000And so this myth of Beijing Biden and the Democrats are going to help the Chi Coms and everything like that.
00:49:02.000Very quickly, you are going to see that that is a mirage.
00:49:05.000The American regime is going to go hard against China like they've gone hard against Russia.
00:49:11.000And for the same reason, we will stand to gain if China increases in influence like we now gain from Russia increasing in influence.
00:49:18.000Because Vladimir Putin is doing more to stick up for the Capitol rioters that are in solitary confinement than our own Republican congressmen.
00:49:30.000It doesn't matter why he's doing it, he's doing more than they are.
00:49:33.000He's doing more to speak up for our rights than our own politicians, our own representatives, even the based ones, even the so called based and red pilled ones, with notable exceptions like Paul Gosar, who's the best congressman in Congress.
00:52:09.000So, now they've got a shrine to George Floyd in Minneapolis.
00:52:12.000I guess this has been a thing for like a year.
00:52:14.000And, like I said at the top of the show, I didn't even know this was a thing until very recently.
00:52:19.000And I feel like a lot of people don't know about it.
00:52:21.000But they've got a big shrine to George Floyd, where George Floyd died a year ago.
00:52:28.000And the development today is that the city of Minneapolis came in to kind of clear the streets because it's taking up a whole intersection.
00:52:35.000So cars can't drive through, businesses can't open because they've just decided, you know, these blacks have just decided that, well, we're closing down the street and no car will drive over where George Floyd died.
00:53:03.000It says, quote, Minneapolis city workers early Thursday removed parts of a memorial at the intersection where George Floyd took his final breaths as the city stated its plans to create a permanent memorial and reopen the area to through traffic.
00:53:18.000On Thursday morning, multiple workers could be seen moving cement barricades in the intersection of Chicago Avenue and 38th Street with tractors and trucks.
00:53:28.000Sarah McKenzie, a spokeswoman, said, Barricades have been removed so that ultimately the intersection will be reconnected into the neighborhood and traffic will be able to resume.
00:53:38.000This intersection will never go back to normal.
00:53:40.000The city is doing everything it can with the community to preserve as many art pieces as possible.
00:53:47.000McKenzie, and by the way, the art is terrible.
00:54:10.000They've got an exhibit about the science of weather events.
00:54:14.000They've got an exhibit about 3D printing.
00:54:18.000They've got an exhibit about lots of different things industrial and scientific things.
00:54:24.000So I went there the other week with some of my friends, and they had an exhibit there showcasing art made by local black students and was called Black Creativity.
00:54:37.000And hanging up on the walls of this world class museum in a world class city were shitty drawings made by black teenagers with no value.
00:54:50.000I mean, in some cases, it was just teenagers scribbling, drawing a little sketch of a person.
00:54:56.000Some people literally gluing mulch to a canvas.
00:55:07.000But of course, it's about pandering to black people and saying, it's like if a little kid came home with a picture and said, Mommy, Mommy, I drew you a picture.
00:56:51.000Here's a video of a black guy in an interview talking about black representation.
00:56:58.000And we, as the museum, a world class museum in a world class city of Patrons are supposed to go and say, Well, what do you think this one means, Barb?
00:57:08.000What do you think this one means, Deborah?
00:57:10.000This is really wow, the creativity of these people is unmatched.
00:58:18.000I mean, you see all these black artisans and artists, and they appear on TV and they appear on the shows, and they sit there in these ridiculous outfits with their pants around their ass hanging out and the goofy hairstyles, and they say shit like, you know, I just think that we need, like, you know, representation photo community and shit, man.
00:58:38.000And, you know, we just, our voices need to be heard, man.
00:58:41.000And, and we're so, and, And honestly, we're all supposed to just be like, oh, wow, what a treat.
00:59:22.000We all have to go into the black creativity thing and pretend.
00:59:26.000Elementary school children are being led in a single file line at the Museum of Science and Industry on a field trip to the black creativity museum, and the teacher has to say, Look at the.
00:59:37.000And little kids have to go, Wow, really?
01:01:27.000The south side of Chicago is a thriving, eclectic neighborhood of flavor and finesse.
01:01:32.000And if you go down there, prepare for what?
01:01:35.000It's going to be a bunch of black guys hanging out at a gas station with their ass hanging out in tank tops, shooting each other with guns.
01:01:46.000All the houses are boarded up, all the businesses are boarded up, people are on drugs, and that's not everybody that lives there, but that's what the neighborhood is like.
01:01:57.000And people are like, you've got this eclectic neighborhood.
01:02:01.000Scientists and chemists and artists, pioneers, rappers, and athletes, and all this kind of stuff.
01:02:08.000And you go there and it's like, no, you will get mugged.
01:02:11.000You will get your car stolen by, you know, I know I'm not the first person to say this, but for fuck's sake, can people just be honest with themselves?
01:02:47.000Some artifacts, like the iconic fist sculpture in the center of the intersection, will remain, she said.
01:02:53.000The reopening of 38th in Chicago was a planned community led effort, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said during a news conference on Thursday.
01:03:02.000He said there are conversations in and around that area with a respectfulness to the nature of the spot where George Floyd died, but also understanding that public infrastructure needs to be opened back up in a way that works.
01:03:17.000Steve Floyd, the co founder of the Agape movement, An organization that worked with the city for reopening said that the memorial has not changed, but the barricades were removed to allow traffic.
01:03:29.000Shortly after the removal, some activists again blocked the intersection in a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
01:03:36.000Mayor Jacob Fry said the city's workers' efforts were just the first step in a phased reconnection of the intersection, and he acknowledged that it will be some time before the intersection is open to traffic for good.
01:03:50.000The removal comes amid a tense disagreement over what to do with the intersection just over a year after Floyd died on the asphalt while being restrained by three Minneapolis police officers.
01:04:01.000The intersection has been closed off to traffic for over a year and has become a shrine and memorial to Floyd.
01:04:08.000In September, the Minneapolis City Council unanimously voted to approve changing the name of the intersection to George Floyd Square.
01:04:16.000People felt trapped in their homes and businesses, lost revenue with the intersection closed, said Andrea Jenkins, the Minneapolis.
01:04:23.000Minneapolis City Council Vice President.
01:04:25.000She said, It's time to begin the process of rebuilding this community to create the kind of memorial that is worthy of the life of George Floyd.
01:04:33.000Worthy of the life of George Floyd, the drug dealing, burglar, killer, or not killer, sorry, armed robber, and so many other people who have lost their lives to the hands of the state.
01:04:47.000A center for racial healing, a center for social justice, a center for reckoning with the deep and systemic challenges that we face in this country.
01:04:56.000With distrust of the police still high, some residents have taken over security as self appointed guardians of the area.
01:05:03.000Still, other nearby residents and businesses say the lack of a police presence has made them feel unsafe.
01:05:09.000The intersection has also been the site of recent violence.
01:05:12.000One person was shot dead there in March, and last week, a person was shot a block away on the one year anniversary of Floyd's death.
01:05:21.000And, you know, it's really important to think about this in the context of our country because.
01:05:27.000If the people that were building this country knew that this is what would happen, they wouldn't build America.
01:05:33.000If the people that fought on D Day, which is coming up this weekend, if they knew that this is what they were giving their lives to create, they probably wouldn't get on the transports.
01:05:43.000They probably wouldn't jump on the beaches and give their life knowing they would die on this amphibious assault.
01:05:49.000If they knew that this is where we would be going, that this is what we'd be tolerating, that a Jewish mayor would approve the changing of a name of an intersection to George Floyd Square named after a dead.
01:06:01.000Black guy, criminal, with a giant fist sculpture intended to represent black power, a giant folk art symbol to represent black power against our white country, and to serve as a shrine for a criminal thug who is killed by police after resisting arrest.
01:06:20.000I mean, do you think that our ancestors who left Europe to come to settle this country, our ancestors that fought to free America, that fought to keep America together, fought in foreign wars, Any of it, anywhere and any time where an American patriot worked or died in the service of their nation, do you think they would have done it if this was the outcome?
01:06:52.000And, you know, Donald Trump came around and was really revolutionary when he said that because he's one of the few politicians to really acknowledge what's going on and the manner in which the country's dying.
01:07:04.000That's a big part of what made him revolutionary.
01:07:14.000That is not the civilization that our ancestors built in Minneapolis.
01:07:18.000You know, there was a time when American exceptionalism meant that you went to the World's Fair in Chicago or the Columbian Exposition and you saw things that you couldn't see anywhere else in the world.
01:07:31.000You saw a thriving civilization that was prospering, a civilization that was reaching new heights in technological progress, in high culture, in other ways.
01:07:57.000The reason you have all these Somalis and other kinds of groups in Minneapolis and in Minnesota is because Minnesota is one of the best states in the country.
01:08:06.000It has one of the most robust social services in the country because of the kinds of people that settled there, because of the high IQ, high social trust, kinds of populations.
01:08:18.000Kinds of populations that settled there and built this place up.
01:08:53.000It's a big middle finger, as far as I'm concerned.
01:08:57.000It's like a big military challenge to our country.
01:09:01.000Folk art symbol in the middle of a ghetto, in the middle of what is becoming a ghost town where people are getting shot, where the police and the city government have no control.
01:09:20.000That's not what the founding fathers intended.
01:09:23.000And go back and take a look at what the founding fathers had to say about people like George Floyd.
01:09:27.000As a matter of fact, go back and see what Richard Nixon had to say about people like George Floyd, or Harry Truman, or Calvin Coolidge, or Teddy Roosevelt, or William McKinley, or Abraham Lincoln, for that matter, or Thomas Jefferson, or literally any great American.
01:09:44.000What they had to say about this dynamic that we have going on.
01:09:48.000I'm so sick and tired of people saying America's a great country.
01:11:13.000George Floyd Square, this is what these barbarians have set up in the ruins of American civilization.
01:11:21.000They have set up, you know, after the Americans have gone, after the Americans have abandoned the structures and all of that, these competing tribes have set up their little shrine, their black power, paper mache fist, and that's the battlefield for their tribal warfare.
01:11:41.000It's like, and how do people, and look, part of.
01:11:45.000Getting to a good country is recognizing that we don't live in one anymore.
01:11:49.000We don't live in a good country anymore.
01:12:23.000But what was so revolutionary about the Trump message, make America great again, is because contained in it are three very important things.
01:13:21.000What we all know, but which nobody will say, the loss of prosperity, the loss of our standard of living, our quality of life, our civilization.
01:13:30.000Donald Trump didn't get up there and say, you know, the past four years, but I'm optimistic.
01:13:35.000He came up there and said, the American dream is dead.
01:13:39.000When's the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo?
01:14:03.000And specifically, how Trump conducted the campaign, the style was we can make it better and we will make it better against political correctness.
01:14:13.000We don't have to obey political correctness.
01:14:28.000And we don't care who stands in the way or what they say about us.
01:14:31.000We don't care if we're called racist, you know?
01:14:35.000And that's a very important thing to reconcile if we're going to turn this country around take a look around and really internalize that this country is a joke.
01:14:51.000Look, George Floyd Square, George Floyd Square, worthy of his life, a degenerate drug dealer, burglar who held a gun to the head of a pregnant woman to rob her.
01:15:06.000Died under the knee of a police officer overdosing from fentanyl and meth.
01:15:12.000Worthy of the life of George Floyd, they rename a square after him?
01:15:17.000We don't have squares named after Jesus, but we have squares named after George Floyd, and we have to make a monument worthy of him.
01:22:47.000What Despicable Me movie do you prefer the most?
01:22:50.000After the salute was over, Dr. Neferio then remarked that he counted 22 farts instead of the prescribed 21 farts, prompting the camera to pan left to show a blushing minion.
01:23:01.000Implying that it was, in fact, he who had farted the additional fart.
01:25:05.000They create these black folklore stories.
01:25:09.000To create this fake, fake view of the country that it's like evil whites against innocent blacks.
01:25:16.000White people are evil and hate people because they look different.
01:25:19.000Blacks are just trying to get along and they're just not bothering anybody.
01:25:23.000So, yeah, all these things start to become far more salient.
01:25:30.000And that they're creating a mythology.
01:25:32.000They're creating a new mythology, these new stories, like new biblical stories for their new worldview.
01:25:39.000Black lasers have just scrolled through the conservative side of TikTok, and I was surprised to see many popular America First girls promoting you.
01:28:11.000You own guns and then you're showing them on camera publicly and you're attracting all this attention.
01:28:17.000Like, there is political persecution, which is always wrong, but I can't help but, you know, there's a part of me that says, well, what do you really expect to happen?
01:28:31.000And you're like committing crimes and saying, hi, here's this proof of me.
01:28:35.000I know I'm breaking the rules, but here's me breaking the rules.
01:28:39.000So, I don't know what the thought process is there.
01:28:41.000That doesn't make it right, but what do you expect to happen?
01:28:48.000I'm not arguing in principle that this is a great thing that's happening, but at some point people have to just kind of act responsibly based on what they know about the situation we're in.
01:28:59.000Zoomer Fake says Pit Viper made a pride post today on Instagram and it got ratioed so hard they had to turn off the comments.

01:30:59.000I hate people that are like, I'm going to watch a bootleg movie in 720p on my monitor that's covered in shit in my bed instead of watching it in a movie theater.
01:32:00.000Watch it on your dirty ass laptop monitor in low res, in your bed, in your fucking stinky bed with your dirty e girl room, e boy room, with your used napkins and your empty Coke bottles and your dirty clothes spilled out over the floor.
01:32:20.000This is the same with your earbuds in.
01:33:11.000What's better than going to the movie theater?
01:33:17.000Excuse me, on Saturday nights and you go to Walgreens beforehand or 7 Eleven and you get a box of candy and you maybe bring a can of pop from home and you sneak it in your pockets.
01:33:30.000And you go to the theater and you go with your friends, your family, and you go and you sneak it in, you buy your ticket, it's the smell, it's the atmosphere, you get to watch the previews, then you watch the feature, then the movie's over and you go, and nothing better.
01:33:52.000You walk out of the theater and you're kind of like digesting the movie, you're talking about it, you're thinking about it, and you open the door.
01:38:06.000And I'm not saying that, look, as a tall person myself who doesn't feel that way, who likes people tall, short, or whatever, people that are bigger, they're like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm tall.
01:38:21.000And so I have this kind of like ego or something.

01:42:42.000When are you going to have a wife and protect her and get killed by a gang of people because they looked at your wife funny and she asked her to?
01:42:54.000You only get to be a carefree, sort of like Bart Simpson character for a few years where you're kind of like skateboarding and you're like, whatever, dude.
01:44:01.000Enjoy just not caring, not having a care in the world, and nothing's so serious, and no one's trying to kill you, and you don't really grasp the transient nature of life.

01:48:28.000Well, and this fucking dog that I live with.
01:48:34.000But yeah, I haven't gotten coronavirus, which is kind of incredible because my immune system is weakened because I'm constantly experiencing an allergic. Reaction from the dog, which permeates the entire atmosphere that I live in, but also because I was exposed to thousands of people throughout Stop the Steal.
01:48:50.000I traveled to D.C. three times, Phoenix, Atlanta, Lansing, Harrisburg.
01:48:56.000I flew dozens of times in many airports, shaking hands, taking pictures, hugging people, meet and greets, parties.
01:49:06.000You know, and that was over the course of a year.
01:49:08.000I traveled last year to Florida, to Phoenix, to All over the place.
01:50:08.000Israel doesn't sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or the Biological Chemical Weapons Convention.
01:50:14.000Israel flouts America's interests all the time.
01:50:18.000But Palestine, which gets no money or hardly any money, but virtually no money, Palestine, which has been getting destroyed for 100 plus years, but their wholly owned subsidiaries.
01:53:10.000Pooh Master says, I know you're not into classical music, but sometimes I wonder if Mozart, Beethoven, or my favorite, Bach, were alive today.
01:53:18.000Would they even have the means to create that great art we all love so much today?
01:53:22.000I think it's more likely they'd be in chat wondering how to live their lives.
01:53:44.000Tactical Nuke says, Lost my Twitter account last night, made another with no linked information, and used a fresh phone number on a separate internet connection and was instantly banned for following you first.

01:54:40.000Uncle Ted says, You remind me of that old Trump clip from 16 when he lashes out at some protesters and goes, We're going to take our country back from these people.
01:55:19.000And the way that he said it was so compelling.
01:55:22.000I've never heard anything like that from a politician.
01:55:25.000Magnum says, shout out to my favorite Groyper, Jordy, who is having a nice, relaxing evening in his man cave, watching America first on the big screen while enjoying a nice cocktail.

01:55:58.000I think you would like it and should try it out.
01:56:01.000I've heard of it, I've played it before.
01:56:31.000It is something a lot of Zoomers don't get.
01:56:33.000Yeah, well, I have a feeling that you, in particular, think that there's more participation in the movie going experience than there should be.
01:56:43.000Jordan B says, There's nothing that beats talking during the movie.
01:56:46.000There's nothing that beats talking out loud in a movie theater.

02:00:03.000Does that make it a good look for the leader of America First to label himself a moon landing denier and flat earther?
02:00:09.000I hope those are feds and not our guys.
02:00:10.000Yeah, that's another good point that you raise.
02:00:17.000Harry Evans says Are you really practicing abstinence for Christianity or are you a parasocial dustbag?
02:01:06.000Well, you have to take it on a case by case basis, of course.
02:01:09.000And, you know, this is a question that I answered like every day throughout Stop the Steal.
02:01:13.000I don't generally support protests, but the point of that particular protest was to raise awareness about the issue and so that politicians would become concerned that they could not get reelected if they didn't do what the protesters demanded that they do.
02:01:29.000If there was a large, consistent turnout of people at the state capitals protesting the issue, the thought is that it would be unignorable for Republicans.
02:01:41.000State legislators, Republican governors, for voters, would be covered in the media, that that would force their hand because this would become like a thing.
02:01:51.000And theoretically, in the future, an attack ad could be ran and said, you know, when the voters stepped up and demanded integrity, where was this governor, state legislator?
