00:23:20.000So we'll be going over this whole story.
00:23:23.000We'll be going into the background, where did this start, what has happened since then, the policy changes by YouTube, the back and forth between Maza and YouTube, the back and forth between Maza and Steven Crowder, who is a player in all this.
00:23:38.000We'll go over who has been affected, who has been demonetized, who has had videos deleted, who has been banned from YouTube.
00:23:45.000And hey, hopefully we can finish the show without getting banned ourselves.
00:23:49.000I'd like... I'd like to say that we'll be able to finish the show tonight, but I don't know.
00:23:54.000You know, who knows if it's... Typically we get kicked off because it's an internet problem, but I don't know.
00:23:59.000Maybe they'll decide in the middle of the show to pull the plug.
00:24:01.000So we'll try to finish, but that's what we're going to be talking about tonight.
00:24:05.000I think that should fill up the whole show.
00:24:07.000You know, obviously there is a lot of background to go over.
00:24:10.000This has actually been going on now for, I think,
00:24:44.000It seems like YouTube is just simply doing whatever is popular.
00:24:48.000They're just trying to appease a certain group of people on Twitter.
00:24:52.000And so, for that reason, I don't think there's any certainty at this point as to when we will see the end of this or, you know, it's totally in development right now.
00:25:51.000So the whole day I'm outside was not able to keep up with this.
00:25:54.000You know, every other day I'm glued to my phone, watching Twitter, watching the notifications come in live, watching all the stories develop, and the one day, the one day that we have something happen, something not good, I'm outside, I'm not watching my phone, I'm sick,
00:26:11.000So it's funny the way things work, right?
00:26:14.000But I do want to say, I do want to say also, before we jump into this, remember, America First might not be around for very long.
00:26:22.000You know, I was driving home from the city today, I'm in traffic, it's about an hour drive home, you know, and the weather was beautiful.
00:26:29.000I had the top down on the car, we got a nice breeze, the sun's coming down, and you know, I was really thinking,
00:27:04.000If you go back and watch any shows that have been produced over the last so many weeks, this is a satirical show quite like Stephen Colbert's show.
00:27:58.000But I do have to say the driving home, seeing the demonetization, people getting banned, I did feel a sense of gratitude.
00:28:04.000We do want to say thank you to the people that have been with us from the beginning, the viewers, the superchatters, the premium members, you know, because
00:28:12.000The mission of the show when we started out was to do a show that had no outside interference.
00:28:19.000It's America first and the only way to put America first is if you don't have people pulling the puppet strings controlling the money.
00:28:26.000So we never had sponsors, we never had advertisements, we never had the typical monetization scheme which is YouTube advertisements that you see the 15 second ones or
00:28:37.000I know you might see a little pop-up on the show.
00:28:39.000So the mission was always not to do that, and it has only been by, really, the grace of God, the generosity of our viewers that we've been able to fund the show, you know, and keep it going as long as it has.
00:28:49.000It relies on the Super Chats, on the premium members, so it's a big thank you.
00:30:35.000What this is, and to speak, I guess, in much greater terms, to make it a lot more general, what you see happening in general, in much broader strokes, is a total systematic change in the way the internet works.
00:30:51.000The way the Internet used to be, they say this is the Internet 2.0.
00:30:54.000This was the past era of the Internet.
00:30:59.000And what that means is how people tend to regard the Internet over the last, you know, 10 or 15 years.
00:31:04.000That anything goes with the advent of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, the initial rise and creation of social media companies and these kinds of platforms.
00:31:15.000Anybody wants to post what they want, political content, entertainment content, they're pretty much able to do that, make a living, gain a following, whatever.
00:31:23.000And so the broad strokes of what we're seeing, and it's sort of really extrapolated, is the winding down of the Internet 2.0 era, this Wild West era, and into something totally different, which is highly regulated, highly authoritarian, highly controlled.
00:31:39.000And so that's really what the what is happening.
00:31:41.000We'll get into that a little bit more towards the end some of the broader strokes.
00:31:45.000We've seen adpocalypses before and that is a colloquial way to refer to what YouTube does with their advertisement algorithm and monetization.
00:31:55.000So again for the boomers that don't know, people go on YouTube and they make content and they get paid.
00:32:02.000Typically the model for somebody to make money off of content that they upload online is by taking advantage of advertisements the same way that a television show does the same way that uh you know a sports broadcast does is you have typically it's a high investment
00:32:18.000Sort of a thing where you buy cameras, you make content, whatever, and people watch it.
00:32:23.000It costs a lot of money for the intermediary to have a platform like YouTube with big servers and big traffic.
00:32:32.000So an adpocalypse refers to YouTube tightening up the restrictions on who is able to make money using advertisements, who is able to display advertisements on their videos and therefore get paid for them.
00:32:44.000And so you've seen this happen before, where YouTube will change their terms of service, they'll change their community guidelines, and they'll tighten up who is able to do this.
00:32:53.000And this has happened several times before, and typically we see this on Twitter.
00:32:58.000With Twitter, they'll change their terms of services, and they'll change who is allowed to even be on the website.
00:33:04.000On YouTube, it works a little bit differently.
00:33:06.000It taps into something which not a lot of people are talking about.
00:33:09.000You know, typically when we talk about online censorship, we're talking about suspensions, banning, de-platforming, and what that refers to is somebody just being totally silenced.
00:33:20.000Their ability to post and share content shut down.
00:33:23.000With YouTube, they're not necessarily, this has happened before, but they're not necessarily shutting people down, taking away their platform, but they are taking away their ability to make money.
00:33:51.000A little bit over a week ago, May 24th, and you may know Vox.com.
00:33:56.000This is a political website and the way they brand themselves is so 2019.
00:34:01.000It's so, to me, insulting to the average person.
00:34:04.000The brand of Vox is that they are the explainer channel.
00:34:09.000So if you're a knuckle-dragging grug who doesn't understand politics, Vox is the website.
00:34:15.000They're the YouTube channel you go to for these explainers with punchy graphics and, you know, the soundtrack where it's got a very ominous beat and some kind of metrosexual from Manhattan who's going to tell you how the way the world works, right?
00:34:31.000They're very biased, of course, in a left-wing direction.
00:34:35.000On May 24th, one of their creators, who creates videos for their YouTube channel named Carlos Maza, who is a Hispanic homosexual content creator for them, he makes a video called, You're Watching Fox News, You Just Don't Know It.
00:34:49.000The substance of the video is basically irrelevant.
00:34:53.000He does one of these explainer videos and he talks about, ironically, the way that the media is being forced to bend the knee to Fox News and the conservative movement.
00:35:04.000So there is a little bit of irony here.
00:35:05.000The substance of the video doesn't really matter for our purposes, but it is sort of interesting that our story begins with Carlos Maza of Vox.com.
00:35:14.000Who has gotten tens of millions of dollars from major conglomerate media companies, okay?
00:35:19.000So this is a well-funded enterprise that is totally bankrupt.
00:35:22.000They can't make money, but they get money from big corporations.
00:35:26.000They're making an explainer video telling you how the media is being controlled by conservatives.
00:35:31.000It's being controlled by Rupert Murdoch and Fox News.
00:35:36.000So then a few days later, May 29th, five days later, Steven Crowder makes a rebuttal to this video by Carlos Maza called, Vox Rebuttal, Conservatives Control the Media, Louder with Crowder.
00:35:48.000And this is part of his show, Louder with Crowder.
00:35:51.000And these are our two main characters.
00:35:52.000This is the beef that has ignited the big controversy.
00:35:58.000Crowder, Steven Crowder, of course, host of Loud Earth Crowder, makes a rebuttal video.
00:36:03.000The problem is that Steven with Crowder, Steven with Crowder, Loud Earth Crowder, Steven Crowder, has done this before.
00:36:09.000He has done a rebuttal to Vox videos before.
00:36:11.000He's done a rebuttal specifically to Carlos Mazza's Vox explainers before, and he tends to do it in a very aggressive way, and we'll say that to be objective, right?
00:36:21.000Steven Crowder has in the past called him slurs for being a homosexual, called him a queer, made fun of him for being Hispanic, this kind of stuff.
00:36:29.000And Carlos Maza does this big thread on Twitter later on talking about this.
00:36:34.000He says, quote, Since I started working at Vox, Steven Crowder has been making video after video debunking strikethrough.
00:36:52.000And so he includes this video that he has compiled himself of Steven Crowder calling him a queer, calling him a lispy queer, calling him Mexican, you know, things like this, or Puerto Rican, whatever, and basically attacking him personally.
00:37:04.000And so Carlos Maza does this big, long, dramatic thread.
00:37:08.000I'm not gonna, I'll spare you, but he gets really dramatic saying how
00:37:13.000Basically, every time that Steven Crowder makes these rebuttal videos, his fans, his rabid conservative fans, flock to Carlos Maza's channel, his social media, and they will make fun of him for being gay, for being Hispanic, and this is harassment, this is unacceptable.
00:37:29.000YouTube, by virtue of allowing Steven Crowder on their platform and monetize his channel on their platform,
00:37:36.000Is in effect enabling the harassment of homosexuals.
00:37:39.000And so Carlos Maza issues this call to action, this fatwa, saying YouTube does not care about LGBT creators because it is Pride Month, Steven Crowder's attacking homosexuals, he is calling Carlos Maza a queer, his fans are harassing me, and that YouTube would allow him a platform while this goes on shows that they're enabling the harassment of gay people.
00:38:12.000He says that what this is really about is not about, you know, homophobia.
00:38:17.000It's not about even the harassment of Carlos Maza.
00:38:20.000Steven Crowder's rebuttal to this statement by Maza is simply to say that what you have to look at is the corporate battle going on here.
00:38:28.000Vox.com, the media conglomerate that, or the media company which is representative of a larger conglomerate, that Carlos Maza represents, is a failing one.
00:39:06.000And so Crowder says that, well, when Carlos Maza is going after Steven Crowder and daring YouTube to go after him, it has nothing to do with harassment.
00:39:14.000It has nothing to do with so-called homophobia or racism.
00:39:17.000It is simply Carlos Maza representing Fox and NBC and some other media conglomerates
00:39:23.000Trying to take out a competitor, which is I guess basically true Maza says that you know, that's definitely not true.
00:39:31.000He says quote I realize that this argument is purposefully ridiculous and meant to distract from the real issue Which is that for years YouTube has allowed a massive right-wing account to violate their policies Harass queer creators and sell socialism is for fags t-shirts with impunity and this to me is really critical This is what it's really about.
00:41:25.000You know, you have this bickering between Crowder and Mazza, and I get it.
00:41:29.000I almost feel bad reading the back and forth.
00:41:32.000It's so petty, it's so silly, but these things have pretty significant consequences.
00:41:36.000YouTube finally responds to Carlos Mazza's initial thread calling out Steven Crowder with a statement, a four-part statement.
00:41:45.000YouTube writes, thanks again for taking the time to share all of this information with us.
00:41:50.000We take allegations of harassment very seriously.
00:41:52.000We know this is important and impacts a lot of people.
00:41:56.000Our team spent the past few days conducting an in-depth review of the videos flagged to us and while we found language that was clearly hurtful,
00:42:04.000The videos as posted don't violate our policies.
00:42:07.000We've included more info below to explain this decision.
00:42:10.000As an open platform it is crucial for us to allow everyone from creators to journalists to late-night TV hosts to express their opinions within the scope of our policies.
00:42:19.000Opinions can be deeply offensive but if they don't violate our policies they'll remain on our site.
00:42:24.000Even if a video remains on our site, it doesn't mean we endorse or support that viewpoint.
00:42:29.000There are other aspects of the channel that we're still evaluating.
00:42:32.000We'll be in touch with any further updates.
00:42:34.000So this is basically the correct take.
00:42:37.000If it stopped with this, that would mean that our institutions, you know, if you see YouTube, because they're a subsidiary of Google, and they're one of the major tech companies in the world, you would say that these institutions are somewhat efficacious in the sense that they have rules, they're judging content based on the rules.
00:42:56.000One of the biggest problems that we have with the social media censorship is not even necessarily that they have restrictive rules.
00:43:04.000I tend to feel like people in the right wing
00:43:08.000Self-censoring, playing within the system, working around the rules.
00:43:12.000I think everybody understands that, you know, if Jack Dorsey or Google or whoever sets down the rules, we are really sort of helpless.
00:43:20.000We kind of have to go with the program.
00:43:22.000Our problem is more that they're applied arbitrarily.
00:43:26.000It's things like this, and we're about to see where the problem is.
00:43:29.000You know, if YouTube has a restrictive community guidelines, well that's a real bummer, and maybe we disagree with it.
00:43:35.000But at least they have a rule, and we know where the line is, and we can play within the rules and have some degree of certainty that we're going to be able to have our channel, and have our monetization, and make a living, and so on.
00:43:47.000You know, so long as we don't violate the rules.
00:43:49.000The problem becomes when it is enforced arbitrarily in an ad hoc fashion,
00:43:54.000Based upon the demands of certain people.
00:43:56.000Based upon, you know, whether Carlos Maza rolls out of bed and is feeling angry one day.
00:44:30.000They also went to Gizmodo, and Gizmodo provided an exclusive statement from YouTube's Community Guidelines team, and they have a statement from YouTube where they said, quote, in videos flagged to YouTube, Crowder has not instructed his viewers to harass Mazda on YouTube or any other platform, and the main point of these videos was not to harass or threaten, but rather to respond to the opinion.
00:44:50.000There is a certain behavior that is never okay, and that includes encouraging viewers to harass others online and offline, or revealing non-public personal information, which is doxxing.
00:45:01.000None of Mazda's personal information was ever revealed in content uploaded by Crowder and flagged to our teams for review.
00:45:08.000So in other words, YouTube is expanding upon their rationale for making their decision, and they're basically saying, even though Mazda has been harassed by Crowder's followers,
00:45:18.000That was not the main intention of the video.
00:45:21.000It was never an explicit call to action for harassment and therefore we can't take it down.
00:46:10.000We have suspended this channel's monetization.
00:46:12.000Suspended Steven Crowder's monetization.
00:46:14.000We came to this decision because a pattern of egregious actions has harmed the broader community and is against our YouTube Partner Program policies.
00:46:41.000We're not going to take down Steven Crowder's content, but we'll demonetize him.
00:46:46.000Not only are we going to demonetize him and take away his ability to get super chats or ad revenue, but on top of that, we've completely changed our community guidelines.
00:46:55.000And so I'll read you the updated policy change, you know, what happened today.
00:47:01.000They write in a blog post, quote, Google has always had, or rather YouTube, has always had rules of the road, including a longstanding policy against hate speech.
00:47:11.000In 2017, we introduced a tougher stance towards videos with supremacist content, including limiting recommendations and features like comments and the ability to share the video.
00:47:20.000This step dramatically reduced views to these videos, which was on average about 80%.
00:47:25.000So you remember, they introduced this new level of restriction
00:47:50.000They write, today we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation, or exclusion based on qualities like age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
00:48:06.000This would include, for example, videos that promote or glorify Nazi ideology, which is inherently discriminatory.
00:48:13.000Thank you for taking that brave stance against Nazism.
00:48:17.000They write, finally, and this is the crowning achievement.
00:48:20.000Finally, we will remove content denying that well-documented violent events, for example the Holocaust, or the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary took place.
00:48:31.000You know, it is so interesting to me the way the Holocaust seems to be brought up so much all the time.
00:48:37.000It seems like no matter what we're talking about, it seems to always go back to this.
00:49:37.000And in order to protect our ecosystem of creators, advertisers, and viewers, we tightened our advertising criteria in 2017.
00:49:45.000In the case of hate speech, we are strengthening enforcement of our existing YouTube Partner Program policies.
00:49:51.000Channels that repeatedly brush up against our hate speech policies will be suspended from the YouTube Partner Program, meaning that they cannot run ads on their channel or use other monetization features like the Super Chat.
00:50:24.000This latinx LGBT individual has brought YouTube to its knees because you have one Puerto Rican gay man who is not happy that he lives in a glass house and he's throwing stones and people are throwing stones back and his glass house is broken and you know and he's all upset about that.
00:50:44.000They've completely changed the policies.
00:50:47.000We have another adpocalypse on our hands and it's affecting everybody.
00:50:51.000Not just right-wing people but a lot of smaller creators.
00:50:54.000I'll read you off just a brief list of people that have been demonetized so far.
00:50:59.000And as the statement says, they're going to continue taking people down.
00:51:03.000They're going to continue demonetizing, deleting content, banning people off the website.
00:51:07.000They said that the enforcement, this is rolling out still, so we're going to see in the weeks to come a lot more action.
00:51:14.000But so far the channels that have been demonetized are News2Share, Sinatra Says, you may know he's on like the Ralph Retort sometimes I think, The Golden One,
00:51:25.000Who is that pagan bodybuilder from Sweden, I think?
00:52:07.000And accounts that have had videos deleted are Gavin McInnes, American Renaissance, and Owen Benjamin have all had some of their content deleted.
00:53:03.000It's not just like, you know, Red Elephants and James Alsup.
00:53:06.000Ben Shapiro is tweeting about this, and Ben Shapiro never speaks out about this stuff because it never affects his friends or people like him, right?
00:53:14.000You've got Bungino from Fox News, who we're not a big fan of, but he's tweeting about it.
00:54:10.000He writes, so YouTube writes, to clarify, in order to reinstate monetization on Steven Crowder's channel, he will need to remove the links to his t-shirts.
00:54:22.000So YouTube says, well, you know, we've demonetized Steven Crowder and we will not monetize him again until he removes the links to the t-shirts.
00:54:31.000For some reason it's about t-shirts that Steven Crowder was selling, a shirt that said, socialism is for fags, okay?
00:55:04.000YouTube, literally what you have happening here is the screaming banshee homosexual who because he threw a temper tantrum, a hissy fit online,
00:55:54.000An FTC probe, Federal Trade Commission antitrust probe, happening against, I believe it's Facebook and Amazon, and you have a Justice Department probe, or rather, I'm sorry, it's Amazon and Apple, and a Justice Department probe that's moving in against Facebook and Google.
00:56:11.000I think I might have mixed all those up, but basically antitrust action is happening against the big four.
00:56:18.000So I was just saying on Monday, finally we're making progress.
00:56:21.000You know, I've heard from some sources antitrust takes about one and a half years.
00:56:26.000If we pursue this, if this goes through and everything, you know, we see it through to the end, the Trump administration could see through the antitrust takedown of all these major companies by the end of his term.
00:56:37.000I thought that would have been enough.
00:56:40.000It seems like YouTube is fighting back.
00:56:43.000They're lashing out at us and they're shutting down everybody.
00:56:45.000And this is the most pernicious thing, is when they go after the monetization.
00:56:50.000You know, because what I think they've been able to get away with for a long time...
00:56:55.000is uh if they just ban people and this is the trick if they ban people there's a big outcry if you silence somebody you shut somebody down i think it's a little bit more effective but a lot of people get bent out of shape about it if they do a shadow ban and they take all your money nobody knows about it
00:57:13.000So it's sort of like nobody can hear you in space.
00:57:15.000Nobody can hear you if you're screaming and they decrease your traffic by 80% because they put you in a limited state and they pull your super chat and your ad money.
00:57:24.000Well, it's like, have you really been silenced?
00:58:00.000Subsidiary of major media conglomerates?
00:58:03.000The only people that can make money are Jimmy Fallon on YouTube?
00:58:06.000You might as well ban people if you're gonna put everybody in a limited state.
00:58:10.000And cut their traffic and take out the comments and they won't be recommended and you change the algorithm and you take away their super chat and you take away the ads and on and on, well then what difference does it make?
00:58:20.000So to me, I guess the silver lining of the adpocalypse is maybe it's showing people what is really happening, which is a lot more comprehensive, a lot more systematic.
00:58:29.000Like I said at the top of the show, it's not simply
00:58:33.000You know, this little battle over Steven Crowder's t-shirts.
00:58:36.000It is a total, it is a totally new internet that we're talking about, that is controlled, that is highly regulated, that is based on mob rule, that is based on, and we've seen this over the last five years, get really out of control and accelerate to this point, where you've got, again, somebody like a Huffington Post journalist, right, or a right-wing watch activist, or somebody like this in the case of Vox.com,
01:00:21.000It seems like just about everywhere you look in society, you have a complete and total breakdown of the law.
01:00:27.000Of something like an objective standard by which things are judged.
01:00:31.000A process, you know, political pluralism, some kind of democratic thing.
01:00:35.000And now it's a breakdown in terms of who is the most well-funded activist, who is the loudest, who has the biggest megaphone.
01:00:42.000And that person, by virtue of them shouting you down, whether it be the mainstream media, or it be a big tech company, or it be a political party, they're the ones that get to say how the country runs.
01:00:53.000And to me, that's the far more pernicious thing.
01:00:55.000You know, you've got on the one hand this big trend, which is very specific to the internet.
01:01:00.000Which is becoming regulated, controlled, and we know who the controllers are.
01:01:04.000It's definitely not Jewish people because, you know, that would run afoul of YouTube's policies.
01:01:12.000It's obviously Democrats, right, that are controlling the media and shutting down discourse on YouTube and the Internet is changing from the Wild West to this, you know, left-wing
01:01:21.000Echo chamber, a safe space for lefties, right?
01:01:24.000But on the other hand, I think you look across the board and it's just a total breakdown of order.
01:01:29.000And the people now that are going to control our lives and dictate what happens and who is punished and who is able to live their life unbothered is some crazy person, some homosexual who we found out I saw just 30 minutes ago is posting pornography of themselves on Reddit.
01:02:13.000Perfidious, but nobody was talking about this.
01:02:16.000You saw that a Democratic congressperson said in committee today that if Facebook, if YouTube, if the social media companies do not clean up so-called hateful white nationalist content, they will look at their Section 230 protections and pull them.
01:02:32.000So, you know the Section 230 protections?
01:02:34.000We've talked about this on the show that we could use.
01:02:37.000It's part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.
01:02:40.000This amendment to that act, the Section 230, it says that these big online platforms get legal immunity from crimes committed using their platforms or on their platforms.
01:02:52.000You know, somebody shoots up a mosque, as an example, using Facebook Live.
01:02:56.000Well they're not held liable for that because Facebook is a platform and the platform is conducive to political expression and so insofar as Facebook is an unbiased platform they're able to
01:03:09.000Have this legal immunity which protects them from going totally bankrupt.
01:03:12.000Because you can imagine, Facebook's got like 2 billion people on there.
01:03:15.000If they were held legally and financially responsible for every crime committed using Facebook or Facebook facilitated it or whatever, they'd be out of business tomorrow.
01:03:33.000For years, or maybe not for years, but for a long time, we've been saying,
01:03:38.000Section 230 is how we can beat back censorship because if Facebook and YouTube, YouTube as a great example today, if they become a publisher and they say that we're going to control what is posted based on what we like and what we don't like, in other words we are partial and we
01:04:28.000They've been very generous in their interpretation of white nationalists and all these other things.
01:04:33.000So the Democrats say, well, if YouTube and Facebook are using Section 230 as an excuse for why they're not going harder against the right wing, we'll just pull their Section 230 protections anyway because of that.
01:04:45.000And so to me, that's what you're going to see next.
01:05:29.000It was an exclusive after the election.
01:05:31.000All the top Google executives were crying after the election and they vowed
01:05:35.000We're not going to let this happen again.
01:05:37.000And so what you see is basically a four-year campaign to take out everybody.
01:05:42.000Alex Jones, Infowars, Laura Loomer, Miley Yiannopoulos, all these different people, the alt-right, the alt-right, anybody who would serve as the base of support for Donald Trump on the internet, being shut down, silenced, censored, so that, you know, it's completely controlled.
01:05:58.000And so when you see the Democratic Party now sticking their mitts in it, and you see Nancy Pelosi and these various committee men,
01:06:04.000Talking about invoking Section 230 or calling on, you know, Facebook and Twitter and YouTube once regulated to go harder against right-wing content, you start to see what the play is from the beginning.
01:06:17.000It's all about the fact, and you know, think about it, why is it that YouTube, okay, YouTube, Google, do you know how big of a deal YouTube and Google is?
01:06:26.000You know how big of a deal Nancy Pelosi is?
01:07:51.000All the tastemakers, all the opinion makers, all the fact reporters must be a part of the system.
01:07:58.000They must be a part of a major media conglomerate.
01:08:01.000And now increasingly online, the one place where we can fight back and get an audience, you know, a citizen, one of us, you know, one of the slaves, one of the debt slaves who's supposed to pay taxes, you know, we might have a say, we might have power, that's being snuffed out.
01:08:14.000And now the only people that can make content online, the only people who can report facts online, or do a video, a live stream, tell you what to think, are people that work indirectly for NBC!
01:08:35.000You cannot, you're not allowed to think what they don't want you to think.
01:08:38.000You're not allowed to know what they don't want you to know.
01:08:40.000That's why they're telling you, you can't tell people, you can't question the Holocaust, you can't question Sandy Hook, you can't talk about race differences, you can't talk about gender differences.
01:08:49.000You think this is arbitrary, this speech code?
01:09:23.000Because he got 30,000 likes on Twitter, the community guidelines are changing, people's families are starving, money's being taken away, rules are being changed, because this guy went on Twitter and threw a hissy fit about, you know, people are being mean to be online.
01:10:18.000It's even just apolitical YouTubers are saying, this is bullshit, you know, that you're shutting down people, taking away the money.
01:10:25.000So ideally what we see is a pause, a rollback, and then antitrust is able to do its job, and these companies are just buried, destroyed completely.
01:10:44.000And if something did change, it'll be too late.
01:10:47.000So hey, super chat while you can, become a premium member while you can, join my mailing list, you gotta get the content while it's hot because we're not going to be around forever, and then what are you going to do?
01:11:00.000Where did you find out about all this stuff?
01:11:01.000You either found out about it from me, or you found out about it from, you know, some other content creator, but you don't learn about this stuff in school.
01:11:26.000I mean, it's serious business happening.
01:11:29.000And forget about all the, you know, policy changes, political policy, elections.
01:11:34.000It doesn't matter if you cannot get the word out, the message out, and increasingly, you know, the only way people are going to be able to get red-pilled is by walking down the fucking street, right?
01:11:42.000And apologize for the language, but it's like, I don't know, you know, maybe in 50 years it'll get so bad, it's already pretty bad, you'll walk down, you know, a street in Skid Row in Los Angeles and say,
01:11:53.000Gee, you know, there's garbage and poop and hypodermic needles and tents everywhere, and you know, look who these people are.
01:11:59.000You'll just have to rely on living in a trash heap, right?
01:12:35.000But at least a wagee, it's like, you wake up, you go to work, and the factory's there, or the office is there, your work is laid out, you have to follow instructions, and you go home, you know, and that's it.
01:12:45.000And you get a paycheck every two weeks.
01:14:15.000Hopefully we've got a lot of them because you know, you know, it's like every day, who knows, they could all be taken away and then I'll be poor.
01:15:47.000Actually, this is where libertarians are goofballs, goofuses.
01:15:52.000They think that government getting involved in breaking up Big Tech or whatever is like a violation of libertarian principles.
01:16:00.000Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
01:16:03.000You're actually... How could you think that four Silicon Valley tech people controlling the whole internet and rapidly shutting down free speech, political expression in particular, is more libertarian because it's the private sector doing it than if the government went in and ensured free speech across the platforms?
01:19:41.000I don't know if you've noticed that the language Crowder used in his stream earlier today, but isn't it strange that Crowder and these other conservatives only lament the censorship of them, but not those evil neo-Nazis?
01:21:07.000I don't know how, Bibi Netanyahu, Sheldon Adelson, I don't know how they do it, the most oppressed race, and they've been out there thousands of years being oppressed, killed, discriminated against, and man, it is rough.
01:21:20.000I look at the plight of Jewish people in America today, and I'm like, my hat's off to you, I salute you, the Jewish people, I salute Israel, and really, just take my money, you know, please take it, because you deserve it, you've been through a lot.
01:21:36.000Let's see Casey's is testing super chat to see if my favorite eboy is safe.
01:21:40.000Well, thanks your favorite eboys doing well I'm doing well so far.
01:22:44.000I am such a good person because, you know, these people would be so easy for me to just really, you know, really go for the jugular when it comes to Arcee or any of these people.
01:22:56.000But I am merciful, but I am a nice guy and I'm not going to do that.
01:23:11.000I don't need to humiliate him any further I don't need to one-up him, you know, but he but he keeps pushing but he keeps pushing He wants me to do it, you know, but we'll have our debate.
01:23:22.000It'll be friendly, but you know, I will just
01:23:24.000Resoundingly win as I did the last time, you know in spite of RC Trying to get the best of me trying to instigate trying to provoke me into some kind of a response I like the guy, you know, and so I am NOT gonna go balls to the wall Cut him down, you know cut him off at the legs He is a good guy.
01:23:43.000I'll say this, you know well, I don't know we still have I don't know there is this outstanding issue of baked Alaska's coat and
01:23:52.000And some people may know what this means.
01:26:52.000A big audience of low IQ drooling mouth breathers.
01:26:56.000You know, like you see, I'm not going to name any names, but you see on other channels and the comments will be like, you know what the comments will be like, NPC type comments.
01:27:04.000So we have made the decision to cultivate a small cult-like following of rich professional people who get it.
01:27:11.000And maybe that'll, that'll get me through this lifetime, you know?
01:28:05.000They understand that right it's like Kanye West said I'm not out of control just not in their control And they want they have to keep the black man down.
01:28:13.000That's what this is all about YouTube doesn't care about people of color creators YouTube doesn't care about black creators Right so I think I'm safe now.
01:28:21.000I think by virtue of me saying that I think I am good.
01:28:51.000The people that we would like to work with think that we're too reactionary and the people who would work with us are too crazy to be taken seriously or they're a liability.
01:30:49.000Who's totally talented and handsome, but we don't take him seriously because he's just doesn't get a thousand views on a show and now I'm being courted now I'm getting the respect that I deserve, you know, so there's some offers on the table There's some people that have approached me, you know work with me work with me come to my network So we'll see what happens.
01:31:07.000All right, hopefully we don't have to go anywhere.
01:31:09.000Hopefully our home is YouTube, but who knows who knows right knock on wood, but We may have a home.
01:31:16.000There's a lot of different places, right?
01:31:47.000Brandon Hanson says, Carlos Queer Eye for the right-wing guy, Maza, was able to get YouTube to shut down, demonetize a bunch of independent YouTubers, and there are still people who believe that corporations only motive is profit.
01:32:04.000All these different people, you know, the major media companies, social media, whatever, they only give lip service to left-wing causes to make money.
01:32:14.000Obviously, this is not the case right after we see this, but we know that.
01:32:18.000Puppet Palace says Nick changed the America First logo to a rainbow color scheme.
01:32:25.00023 year old Zoomer says, hey big guy just wanted to give a big F to Lauren Southern, one of the better females in the movement who has retired from public life and a big F to YouTube as a platform.
01:35:19.000That is not that is by the way not a signal if the producers are watching do not interrupt the show by bringing me A snack will not be eating a snack on the show.
01:35:26.000I will have to wait and that is okay You know, sometimes I complain and I get I get a producer, you know throws me a snack.
01:35:35.000It's like no No, we do we do not want that.
01:37:54.000H Colombia's Department of Health and Human Services considering Fort Benning here in Georgia as a shelter for 5,000 plus children of illegals can't stop winning look it up yeah I've heard many stories like this military bases across the country where they bring in illegal migrants
01:38:12.000So glad that we went out and, you know, campaigned, voted, contributed to the campaign.
01:38:17.000Excellent, you know, excellent progress is being made.
01:38:21.000Noit says, when do we begin peacefully protesting Vox?
01:38:24.000This is not a crypto call for violence.
01:39:05.000Christopher says the real America first was the knickers.
01:39:07.000We've had along the way sure lots of good friends lifelong friends made Mr. Fugg says I can't wait to see all the clips from the show playing in front of millions of people during their presidential debates in 2036 Good luck, buddy, and God bless you see.
01:41:28.000I mean, look, the advice he's giving is probably good for you, it's probably healthy, but, you know, he's just such... posting it on Twitter every morning, black and white, and it's his hands sweaty and bleeding from the workout, and what is the caption always?
01:42:29.000Press F says God forbid, but if this is the last show ever I want to say I love you big guy Thanks for everything.
01:42:34.000Hey, love you, too, man, but it's not hey, but it's not but it's not we're staying here, but I'm staying Froyos is the real racist were the friends we made along the way that this joke is funny the fifth time Jose says the only gay I know is Trump he refuses to stand against evil therefore complicit to immorality and confronting of migrants Hello, Nick wick department
01:45:19.000Task of creating some kind of a science or a study of history is very ambitious and well done.
01:45:24.000Couldn't really understand a lot of it because I don't have a background in art, architecture, math, you know, every music, every subject that he goes into in a great detail.
01:45:33.000So I would recommend that you have a little bit of a knowledge before you go into it, but I thought he was right on the money.
01:45:55.000I don't... Why do people just say the same thing?
01:45:58.000You know, even if you just drop a super chat that says, yep, clown world, whatever.
01:46:03.000But people, they want to do this irony thing that's not ironic because it's not subtle and it's like, whoa, guess we're just, uh... Sodomy and Duchess to Israel.
01:47:25.000It's been a ride Okay, I don't know who that is.
01:47:28.000I don't know if that's a phonetic thing Whatever Blake Mitchell says I can't believe this fascist company YouTube is genociding our content creators.
01:49:36.000I check my email after the show I'm not gonna be loading up my email reading your emails There is a process to the way things works I appreciate the donations but people are like
01:51:44.000a lot more to go and you know what that means all these super chats in the way of a meal that's that's why i look at if you're wondering gee why is nick so angry all the time why is he agitated it's like it's me here's a super chatter and here's dinner and i'm i'm hungry you know so that's that's really what it comes down to but i'll wait
01:54:05.000But go to the mailing list, I guess you could say.
01:54:07.000Mega Wallace says, thank you, Nick, for all you have done, are doing, and will hopefully continue to be able to do from one Midwestern member of the One True Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church to another.
01:54:31.000Yeah, people really liked that interview with him and I'm glad because he does so much content that I felt like I needed to, you know, really think about what we were gonna talk about.
01:54:41.000ProTruth says, Nick, I lost my main account today and now threw together this archive backup.
01:54:47.000Can you sub to pay respects and leave lots of likes?
01:54:51.000No, I don't think that's the deal, but hey, thanks for the super chat.
01:54:55.000Hawk Stevens with a big super chat, much appreciated, thank you.
01:54:59.000Yeah, that's a difference between a ride or die.
01:55:02.000These are the kinds of knickers we want.
01:55:04.000You know, somebody just drops a big shekel, no comment, you know, thanks, God bless, versus somebody who throws in
01:55:11.000A $2 peepee poopoo, a $5 read my email, a $5 subscribe to my channel, you know?
01:55:17.000That's how you could tell who are our ride-or-die cult members versus, you know, a fan, a loyal subscriber who I like, but has not quite made the leap, you know?
01:58:43.000It's I don't even think cucking is a thing with them because it's like they don't
01:58:48.000They don't even have solid relationships.
01:58:50.000Like, with a man and a woman, a cucking is a very tough thing because it obviously hurts the man's dignity that, you know, his woman is basically his property and is straying away.
01:59:03.000And, you know, I'm talking in very general terms.
01:59:05.000I don't want to dissect that at the moment.
01:59:07.000But, you know, we understand why that's terrible when a woman goes against a man.
01:59:12.000But with homosexuals, it's like, it just goes to show it's so debased.
01:59:19.000I don't even think it applies in that way because the whole idea of fidelity, of one flesh, of that kind of a union, it doesn't exist with them.
02:04:25.000I want my proper coffee cup from a copper coffee pot.
02:04:29.000Well, thanks Tongue twister easy mastered it I have supreme elocution because I've been doing this for a long time and I'm good at it.
02:04:38.000But thanks for that Beater says you give me headaches headaches.
02:04:44.000Yeah, I said so I can relate to that, right?
02:04:48.000old josh nichols supreme patriot supreme gentleman josh nichols rising up running through these hoes like josh nichols samurai spirits as i remember it's like oprah winfrey right samurai spirits as i remember when there was 600 live viewers a night i remember when there was 130 live viewers a night you know
02:06:19.000The way it works is that when the Pope is contributing to the sacred magisterium,
02:06:24.000And this is a very specific set of circumstances he is infallible on matters of doctrine.
02:06:30.000But the Pope is a human being, so when the Pope talks about politics, or even when the Pope talks about pastoral things, or even parts of the Magisterium, I don't know all the specifics of it, but it's a very specific set of circumstances where he's invoking infallibility, but other things there can be disagreement on.
02:07:01.000That was the whole point, was to demonstrate, and I think he and Michael Jones talked about this on the show, and so I'm stealing that a little bit from him, but Faith Goldie said that I think at one point as well.
02:07:11.000The point was to demonstrate, look at all the disciples, or look at all the early Christians.
02:07:17.000Yeah, anybody in the Bible a lot of people that had problems unfaithful whatever and I think the point was to demonstrate people are fallible Right and particularly in even the Pope But we look at the doctrine the sacred magisterium.
02:07:30.000That is not fallible So if that were to go against scripture in some capacity or there was some contradiction, you know something like that You know, then you take a look at it but but that hasn't happened so
02:07:43.000So that's how Mr. Obatos is the best SCP is the femur breaker.
02:07:48.000I don't I don't know what this is Ben says this is kind of a dark question But would you want your fans to carry on your legacy if you were to die prematurely?
02:09:46.000You're not gonna get me to say they're cool and I like them.
02:09:50.000I think they're lowbrow, I think they made big mistakes, I think they're highly responsible for why we are where we are, and you're not gonna get me to change my mind.
02:11:30.000They had a John Wick theme, they had an Avengers theme, it's an epic game.
02:11:34.000And I don't like it that much anymore, but you know, you just gotta suck it up and play, cause that's what people are playing, and you gotta socialize with your friend Nick, cause he's a hermit and he doesn't have any friends IRL.
02:11:45.000So yeah, I just have to play the game, okay?
02:11:50.000I'm gonna start walking around with a napkin over my private parts and watching the same movie a thousand times, you know, Howard Hughes style.
02:14:54.000Thank you so much our resident lab coat, but he takes the beatings You know, he's a sport about it absolute swine says blood rushes to your nose making an itch when you're nervous big guy Is that what it is?
02:15:08.000It's only like I touch my nose at some point during the show and then that's when it begins.
02:15:14.000Whenever I touch my nose for the first time.
02:15:19.000Maybe but maybe it's like but maybe now it's a psychosomatic thing that it's like, you know causing it and then this reciprocal effect You understand what I'm saying?
02:18:16.000Anon says in case this is the last thanks for the good times only been with since destiny debate but watched every stream by the way James Alsup is in chat well thanks man and howdy to James Alsup we're praying for you big guy we hope it all works out we're gonna we're gonna help you whatever way we can we got to stick together in these trying times
02:22:22.000You know, I see a lot of people that, you know, they do things where they say something off the cuff or whatever and it comes back to bite them.
02:23:51.000I wasn't like that cat- I wasn't- hadn't embraced Catholicism as much as I have at that point, but certainly I think they were trying to bring on younger, um, you know, talent for podcasting or whatever.
02:24:28.000James has just checked Hunter backed out again very sad oh no no bummer okay so I guess James was a little bit behind on that so I think it's the first back out I don't know if there's a second one during the show but yeah yeah he backed out on the July 8th date
