00:02:35.000When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear and love of everything else.
00:02:41.000You talking to somebody right now that only fears God and Jesus has won the victory, bro.
00:02:51.000Life like, this is what you like, like, try to live life right.
00:02:54.000Hopefully, don't you press your buttons like, type right.
00:02:57.000This is like a movie, but it's really very type like.
00:03:00.000Every single night, like, every single fight, right?
00:03:02.000I was looking at the camera, and I don't even fight, like.
00:03:05.000I was screaming at my daddy, told me it ain't Christ, like.
00:03:08.000I was screaming at the river, we just type, like, looking for a bright, like, single, what you like.
00:03:12.000Like riding on a white bike, smelling like a tight bike, pressing on a gas, never know before the nightlight, screaming at my dad, and he told me it ain't Christ-like, but nobody never tell you who you're being like Christ.
00:03:23.000Only ever seeing me, only when they're feeding me, like a Tyler Perry, paying a boom fee for D&D, searching for a D&D, now you wanna see it free, now you wanna see it free, let's just see it be a piece, tell me what you like, like, turn it down to Christ-like, driving with my dad, and he told me it ain't Christ-like, I'm just trying to find out the truth for a new way, just really trying not to reach Do the fool way, I don't have a clue.
00:03:45.000Meeting on my pesto, rock up on a text, though.
00:04:58.000I was looking at the camera, I don't even fight like I was screaming at my daddy, told me in a Christ like I was screaming at the referee, just like my look at for a bright place,
00:05:14.000legal with your life like riding on a white bike, smelling like a tight bike, pressing on the gas, never know a full night like screaming at my daddy, told me in a Christ like, but nobody never tell you to be in Christ like, only ever see me, only when they're eating me, psychedelic parents.
00:06:57.000I was looking at the camera and I don't even fight like, I was screaming at my daddy, told me it ain't Christ like, I was screaming at the camera, we just fight like, looking for a bright fight, single with your life.
00:07:07.000Like riding on a white bike, smelling like a tight bike, pressing on a gas, never know before, nightlife, creaming at my dad, and he told me it ain't Christ-like, but nobody never tell you who you be in tight, Christ.
00:07:18.000Only you ever see it, only when they're cleaning me, psyched Tyler Perry, and I'm going to be in C&D, searching for a deity, now you wanna see it free, now you wanna see it free, like to see it be a piece, tell me what you like, like, turn it down to bright light, driving with my dad, and he told me it ain't Christ-like, I'm just trying to find out, I've been looking for a new way, just really trying not to reach To the pool, I don't have a pool.
00:08:51.000I was screaming at my daddy, throw me in a Christ-like I was screaming at the river, we just type like Looking for a bright light, see what your life like Riding on a white bike, selling like a tight bike Pressing on a gas, never know before the nightlight Screaming at my daddy, throw me in a Christ-like But nobody never tell you who you're being like Christ Only you ever see it,
00:09:20.000only when it's eating me Like a Tyler Perry, painting a boom, beating a T and T Searching for a D and T Now you want to see it, freak, now you want to see it, freak, like you see it, be a piece Tell me what you like I'm just trying to find out the truth for a new way.
00:09:38.000Just really trying not to break through the pool way.
00:12:47.000We'll also be talking a little bit more tonight about the ransomware attack on that gas company, Colonial Gas, in the Southeast United States, which is getting really bad.
00:13:00.000Apparently, there are lots of gas stations now completely running out of fuel on the East Coast.
00:13:07.000In North Carolina, South Carolina, it's getting pretty rough over there, and they say that if this isn't solved soon, It's going to be a disaster.
00:13:26.000My apologies for being a little bit late tonight.
00:13:31.000Major technical difficulties with the America First supercomputer.
00:13:35.000This thing is reaching the end of its life cycle, I think.
00:13:40.000Because it's like every other week there's an issue with the camera, there's an issue with the startup, there's an issue with OBS, there's an issue with.
00:13:51.000And I said tonight, I said, I have to do the show.
00:13:55.000You know, I don't like going live so late like this.
00:13:59.000I feel like a retard, but, you know, I'd feel worse if people wait all this time and then I say, okay, well, I can't get it to work.
00:14:07.000So, working tirelessly to put the show together, but fortunately, I've been told there's an America First supercomputer being constructed somewhere.
00:14:17.000So, more on that in a couple of weeks, maybe.
00:14:21.000But this thing is not doing so well anymore.
00:14:44.000Before we get into the news, though, I want to remind you to follow me on Telegram.
00:14:48.000Go to t.meslash nickjfuentes to follow me there.
00:14:52.000Make sure you follow me on Gab at gab.comslash real Nick J. Fuentes and check out my website, Nicholas J.

00:15:11.000And you get access to over 1,500 hours of America First content.
00:15:16.000With that out of the way, I mean, I'm ready to dive in because there's really much to discuss here.
00:15:23.000And, you know, I feel eager for the first time in a long time.
00:15:28.000I feel like for the past couple of weeks, I'm stringing stuff together.
00:15:32.000I mean, I really got to stretch and scrape and try to find every little thing going on in the world just to make an hour long monologue.
00:15:39.000And tonight feels like we're back in business.
00:15:43.000So, our first story tonight is about this Capital Pipeline, I'm sorry, Colonial Pipeline, Freudian Slim, Colonial Pipeline malware attack.
00:15:52.000We know a little bit more about it today, apparently.
00:15:56.000So, just to go over briefly, yesterday we covered this for the first time.
00:16:00.000There's this gas pipeline company which is responsible for a large percentage of the distribution of fuel in the country, specifically on the southeast coast of the United States.
00:16:13.000Yesterday, this company was attacked with a cyber attack.
00:16:18.000They were cyber attacked by people that we didn't know who they were yesterday.
00:16:23.000Yesterday, they weren't telling us who was responsible for the attack, what their demands were, you know, what was going on.
00:16:31.000What we knew yesterday was that it was a ransomware attack where they'll go into a computer system by a private company or a government entity.
00:16:40.000They'll encrypt everything and lock the people that are supposed to be using these computers out through encryption.
00:16:48.000I'm struggling here with the technological aspect of it.
00:16:53.000They'll go in, they'll use malware to encrypt everything on a certain computer system and lock people out of their computers, and then they demand a ransom in exchange for.
00:17:04.000Decrypting the information and allowing people to use their information again.
00:17:09.000So, yesterday we knew it was a ransomware attack.
00:17:11.000We knew that that's what was going on.
00:17:13.000And in response to the ransomware attack, this gas company, which is Colonial Pipeline, they shut down their entire computer system to contain the ransomware threat, to contain this malware.
00:17:29.000And basically, what that did is it prevented them from distributing gas through their pipelines and get the gas from the Gulf Coast.
00:17:36.000To gas stations on the East Coast and even as far up as New York City.
00:17:41.000And so that means that they're running out of gas in all these different places.
00:18:37.000It says, If the Colonial Pipeline is not back in business by the weekend, Prices could continue to rise at the pump, and there will be broader localized fuel shortages across the Southeast and Mid Atlantic regions.
00:18:51.000Gasoline stations that could not get enough fuel were already closed in some states, and prices jumped overnight by as much as 10 cents or more per gallon in some areas.
00:19:02.000A founding partner of Again Capital said, This turns into a crisis by the end of the week.
00:19:08.000If it's not resolved, particularly with Memorial Day coming, people are going to start topping off their tanks.
00:19:15.000So, I guess for now, there's not so much panic going on.
00:19:19.000For the most part, people aren't freaking out and panic buying gasoline, but that is beginning.
00:19:24.000And if it doesn't stop soon, it seems like everybody's going to go and do that.
00:19:28.000And obviously, that's going to exacerbate the shortage.
00:19:31.000If people are going out there and buying gas to hoard it, right?
00:19:35.000If they're buying gas because they're uncertain that they'll be able to get it at a later time, the gasoline that they do have is going to be depleted much faster, and then there's going to be no more gas left.
00:19:46.000It says, It's not that there's not enough fuel.
00:19:49.000There's plenty in the refining centers on the Gulf Coast.
00:19:51.000The issue is that gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel are stuck in the wrong places, and moving it requires a lot of different solutions.
00:20:00.000Analysts say it will be impossible to meet demand without the pipeline.
00:20:04.000Colonial Pipeline stopped operations on Friday and notified federal officials that it was the victim of a ransomware attack.
00:20:11.000The attack, carried out by a criminal cybercrime group known as Darkseid, resulted in the shutdown of 5,500 miles of pipeline.
00:20:20.000The artery supplies half of the gasoline to the East Coast and runs from Texas to New Jersey.
00:20:27.000The pipeline company said it expects to restore a substantial amount of operations by the end of the week, but how much is not clear.
00:20:34.000U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said federal agencies are working around the clock to help the pipeline return to normal operations.
00:20:44.000A shutdown arrives at an inopportune time, the beginning of what could be a record summer driving season as Americans make up for last year.
00:20:53.000Michael Tran, an energy analyst at RBC, said, Given the size and direction of the Pipeline and the market that it feeds, the colonial pipeline is the single most important artery moving refined products in the country.
00:21:05.000This is already an earthquake, and the magnitude just grows by the day.
00:22:57.000Today they told us it was a cybercrime syndicate called Dark Side.
00:23:03.000And I read a little bit about this group, and you go to their website.
00:23:09.000And I guess what they claim to be is an organization that is interested in basically just stealing money.
00:23:17.000And they lay out a code of conduct and they say, well, we're not going to target hospitals and schools and, you know, I guess certain soft targets.
00:23:24.000And, you know, we're not trying to influence politics.
00:23:28.000And so this is some kind of anonymous group that nobody has ever heard of.
00:23:33.000Apparently, they ask for ransom up to $20 million in exchange for, you know, decrypting information that they've encrypted through ransomware.
00:23:44.000And it says that they also use this sort of double blackmail where, at once, they encrypt your stuff, and then also for a company like Colonial Pipeline, they're going to encrypt their computers, but they're also going to steal the information from the computers and leak it online.
00:23:59.000So there's this double leverage, double pressure to get a company to pay up the ransom.
00:24:04.000But the only problem is, I've never heard of this.
00:24:07.000I feel like nobody else has ever heard of this.
00:24:10.000And it almost feels like a giant red herring.
00:24:37.000And now I don't know, you know, who would be behind it if not what the media says.
00:24:43.000I don't know who would be responsible for something like that.
00:24:46.000This, who would benefit from this if it was not this obscure hacking group, which I've never heard of and which I don't think a lot of people have heard of.
00:24:56.000I don't know what the angle would be otherwise, but I'm reading through this article and I'm like, okay, so this is just a totally random cyber attack from a totally random anonymous group that doesn't even seem to want anything but just wants money.
00:25:17.000If you have the technology, people will weaponize the technology to make lots of money illegitimately, you know, ransomware and that kind of thing, cyber attacks.
00:25:25.000But part of me just doesn't sit right with me.
00:25:32.000Nevertheless, I see the story and it's pretty consequential what's going on here because you begin to wonder I mean, what does happen if the gas stations run out of gasoline?
00:25:46.000And of course, it's much more far reaching than just you can't fill up your tank to go to work.
00:25:51.000It's like, what happens if they can't get fuel for airplanes?
00:25:55.000Atlanta's airport, Hartfield Jackson, is the biggest airport in the country in terms of the volume of passengers coming through on any given day.
00:26:05.000So, what happens if they don't have fuel for their airplanes?
00:26:07.000What happens if there's not fuel for truckers?
00:26:11.000Obviously, not every state in the country is totally independent and autonomous.
00:26:17.000States rely on supply chains, which is goods and services coming from other places.
00:26:22.000South Carolina doesn't have all the resources it needs within South Carolina.
00:26:26.000They get it delivered from trucks, rail, from planes.
00:26:31.000What happens when trucks can't make it to North Carolina, when they can't make it to South Carolina?
00:26:38.000They say that they're going to find a way to get gasoline by the end of the week to gas stations and other places, but this is a pretty consequential thing.
00:26:46.000And, you know, whatever's going on here, if this is what they're saying it is, if this is legit, or if it isn't, It tells you a little something about the vulnerability of the system and just how quickly it all comes crashing down.
00:27:00.000Now, before I move further into this sort of line of thinking, I want to clarify what I'm about to say.
00:27:09.000I'm not saying this to be glib, I'm not saying this to be edgy, I'm not saying this in like a wink, wink, I want this to happen way.
00:27:18.000I'm just saying this in exactly the way that I'm saying it.
00:27:21.000Because I know sometimes I talk about these kinds of themes and people accuse me of.
00:27:26.000Advocating for a system collapse or a civil war or violence or something, which I'm not.
00:27:32.000You know, I remember the day before the Capitol, I said, you know, withhold your vote because what else can you do to a politician other than not vote for them?
00:27:42.000And I haven't heard the end of that one since then.
00:27:44.000Everybody says, Oh, you said you want to kill politicians.
00:27:47.000I said, I explicitly said, No, I don't want to kill politicians.
00:27:51.000So, you know, before I go down this line of thinking, I want to preface by saying, you know, there's nothing, there's nothing, there's no double layer of irony or anything here.
00:28:02.000There's just straight up what I think is going to happen.
00:28:06.000When you see something like this, you realize just how vulnerable the system really is.
00:28:11.000All it takes is a slight disruption like this, and you begin to see a cascading effect across the entire society, across the entire economy, which these kinds of disruptions are becoming more and more unavoidable.
00:28:31.000What happens, and we saw this with the coronavirus pandemic, what happens when people can't go to work?
00:28:37.000What happens when there's no gasoline?
00:28:38.000What would happen if there was no electricity for a prolonged period of time?
00:28:42.000What would happen if the supply chains were shut down for?
00:28:45.000A week, two weeks in a major metropolitan area.
00:28:49.000The supply chains that we have, that we rely on, and are totally dependent on to live in a complex society like we live in, where we have electricity, water, gasoline, and food on demand, and society is built on the expectation that we'll have those things on demand, it's extremely fragile.
00:29:06.000And all the systems that provide on demand, abundant commodities and resources is very fragile, very precarious, very delicate.
00:29:17.000It cannot withstand prolonged disruptions, no matter how big in scale, because, like I said, it's not just one thing, it's something that affects the entire system.
00:29:28.000Something like a gasoline shutdown in a handful of states has a ripple effect ultimately across the whole national economy.
00:29:35.000And a shortage or a complete lack of gasoline in a few states would cause shortages of lots of other goods and higher gas prices and sort of this difficult.
00:29:46.000The problem of getting some gasoline to these states creates lots of problems and price spikes and shortages of other commodities and so on.
00:29:55.000And it ripples throughout the country and across other parts of the economy.
00:29:59.000And as time goes on, if we see more and more of these disruptions, what is going to happen is that complex society as we know it will become untenable and unsustainable.
00:30:11.000And this is what you see in a lot of third world countries.
00:30:14.000This is a lot of what you see in Venezuela and African countries when they have intermittent electricity.
00:30:20.000Rolling brownouts, when they have food shortages, starvation, famine, these kinds of things.
00:30:26.000When a society cannot, not only are they not able to manage the production of the necessary resources, but the distribution of them too, you are not increasingly able to live in a civilization that has, you know, that is complex and relies on those kinds of carefully calibrated supply chains, schedules, and everything like that.
00:30:48.000And what that means is that we are not going to live in the 21st century for longer if that.
00:30:55.000If the infrastructure continues to be vulnerable, and infrastructure means many things it's transportation, it's the electrical grid, it's a distribution of fossil fuels like gasoline, it's the production of these things and the distribution of these things.
00:31:10.000If the infrastructure is not up to par with like the 21st century demand and the threats from cyber and other kinds of attacks, we are not going to live in the 21st century for very much longer.
00:31:22.000Like I said, it will become unsustainable.
00:31:25.000And we're going to have a quality of life approximating that of these other third world countries.
00:31:30.000And, you know, again, I've been saying this for years, it all goes down to what is society made of.
00:31:36.000Food does not come from the grocery store.
00:31:38.000Gasoline does not come from the gas pump.
00:31:41.000And the gasoline doesn't deliver itself, and the shelves don't stock themselves.
00:31:48.000Yeah, of course, food comes from the ground or comes from a farm.
00:31:52.000And of course, gasoline comes from the earth, right?
00:31:56.000And of course, people have to distribute it.
00:31:58.000But so think of the consequences of that information.
00:32:02.000If the people that are handling these processes are not competent, If the supply chains, which are very fragile and carefully calibrated and contingent on each other and interdependent, if those things are being constantly disrupted, we are no longer going to live in a nice society.
00:32:21.000And I feel like people don't really get that.
00:32:23.000I feel like people think that the country can get worse, the people can get stupider, the people can be incompetent.
00:32:31.000We can afford to take risks with green energy and we'll eat crickets and all this, and we'll still just be able to expect and rely.
00:32:41.000On a certain standard of living, but we can't.
00:32:44.000And we are now just, we are just at the beginning of starting to see what that looks like.
00:32:52.000You're seeing it with this gasoline shortage.
00:32:54.000You're seeing it already with the rise in gas prices.
00:32:58.000You saw that in Texas when they couldn't turn their heat on.
00:33:01.000People literally had to go in their car and use their car's engine, right?
00:33:06.000Use their car's ability to create heat to prevent themselves from freezing to death because.
00:33:12.000If they stayed in their homes, it was so cold that they would have died because there's no other way to get heat if you don't flip a switch and get it on demand.
00:33:22.000So, people have to begin to ask themselves, what would happen if your supply chains were disrupted?
00:33:31.000If you couldn't get food from the store, where would you get it?
00:33:35.000If you couldn't get gasoline from the gas station, where would you get it?
00:33:40.000If you couldn't get heat from the central heating and air system, where would you get your heat in the winter when it is cold?
00:33:48.000And it's too cold to be alive outside, where would it come from?
00:33:52.000These are the questions people are going to have to begin to ask themselves.
00:33:55.000Most people don't have an answer because, again, you know, we have grown to rely on this on demand, abundant commodities and resources, and the whole society is built on these contingent expectations, and everything is contingent and dependent on everything else.
00:34:11.000You know, the food is dependent on the trucks coming in the morning on a given day, and the trucks are dependent on the gas being in the gas pumps, and the gas.
00:34:19.000Being in the gas pumps is dependent on the gas coming from a pipeline, and the gas in the pipeline is dependent on the gas coming from a rig or a refinery somewhere, and being in the refinery, and so on, right?
00:34:31.000And you begin to see the interconnected, contingent nature of the entire global economy, the entire global system.
00:34:39.000And so things that are happening in other countries, things that are happening in other states, companies you've never heard of, methods of distribution you've never heard of or know nothing about, become highly influential on your particular life, your plans.
00:34:53.000Your ability to eat food, get heat to live, right?
00:35:00.000And we can't rely on that anymore because we are a failing society.
00:35:04.000And this is a big theme of the show on America First is that on a fundamental level, society is failing.
00:35:12.000Superficially, on the top, we are still sort of enjoying the residual fruits of a functional society in the most developed cities, the richest, most capital intensive areas.
00:35:25.000We still have the appearance of living in a first world country, but there are big problems under the surface.
00:35:32.000There are major, major dysfunctional problems, major dysfunction going on just beneath the surface.
00:35:39.000And it's not apparent when you watch TV, and it's not apparent when you watch the State of the Union or whatever, but if you're really looking at the fundamentals, there is trouble in paradise.
00:35:52.000And once this sort of residual wears off, the residual fruits, the residual sort of abundance that was left for us, the sort of momentum of the functional society we used to live in, once that is.
00:36:07.000We're going to find that we are not able to continue to perpetuate and generate that kind of a standard of living because the fundamentals are all wrong.
00:36:15.000And this is basically the key problem with liberalism in their effort to reach beyond our limitations, we are going to fall short of our limitations.
00:36:26.000In this effort to have it all, we're going to have green energy and abundant energy, and it won't be intermittent, and everyone will have jobs.
00:36:34.000And there will be no reduction of human economic activity.
00:36:38.000In your attempt to have it all, you're compromising the fundamental pillars that allowed us to have anything.
00:36:44.000And in your effort to say, you know, it doesn't matter who you marry or who you love, and women can work too, and in your effort to say that men and women can do whatever they want and gender roles are outdated, that's for the olden times.
00:36:58.000In your effort to progress beyond our nature, we're falling short.
00:37:02.000Men and women aren't having kids anymore.
00:37:33.000I don't really know what's going on here.
00:37:35.000We know as much as they're going to tell us.
00:37:39.000But things like this are going to become more frequent.
00:37:41.000They are going to become more intense over time, and the system will not be able to bear all of these disruptions because the system is too contingent.
00:37:50.000It's too calibrated to sustain these kinds of prolonged major disruptions.
00:38:00.000And so, what is going to happen is that it's just going to begin to fall apart at the seams.
00:38:05.000And not in a cinematic way, not in a dramatic way, but just in the way that you're going to go to the gas station like people are today and not be able to get gas.
00:39:26.000And it's going to approximate more and more like the olden days before the United Nations, before Michael Jackson and the UN, when it's like going out and fending for yourself.
00:39:38.000You know, going out is going to be like going out into the jungle, not like killing tigers and fighting off hostile barbarians, although that last part's kind of true.
00:39:47.000But it's going to be like, you know, going out there and securing food for your family and heat.
00:41:02.000Society is only as good as the people that constitute the society.
00:41:08.000Society is only as good as those people that constitute the society and what they build and what they produce and the kind of work that they're doing every day.
00:41:17.000If people are doing bad work, eventually that's going to have consequences.
00:41:22.000You know, people think that our reality is completely divorced from our decisions at this point.
00:43:15.000Maybe, I mean, they'll free their software from the ransom attack, and the oil and the gas will flow through the pipelines again, and people will be able to buy their gasoline again.
00:43:27.000But it's just like a scary foreshadowing of things to come.
00:43:32.000This is like these are a few major catastrophes that have happened just in the year, just since Biden got in office.
00:43:40.000The Texas winter, this gasoline thing over there.
00:43:44.000They're talking about food shortages now, lumber is way up, inflation is out of control.
00:45:00.000It'll probably come back soon, but you don't know when.
00:45:04.000So, what are you going to do until then?
00:45:05.000Turn on the lights, they don't come on.
00:45:07.000And it's not because there was a big thunderstorm, it's because there's some, you know, you know what, who spilled his Hennessy on the Switch.
00:45:16.000You know, some black guy who's in the control room for the electrical grid goes, ah, shit, man.
00:45:26.000Smells his Cavassier all over the console.
00:45:30.000And it's not, so it's not like, oh, a tornado knocked down the power grid.
00:45:35.000It's like some Mexican goes, oh, sheet, and he spills whatever, spills his coffee all over everything.
00:45:42.000Now, of course, I'm being a little bit silly, but it's, you know, in other words, it's these things when you don't know when it's going to come back on.
00:45:50.000And it's like, well, what are you going to do?
00:45:54.000You can't, in the hopes of, you can't hope that, well, maybe it'll come on in a minute because when the electricity goes off in the winter, Like, how are your gas going off in the winter?
00:46:05.000What are you going to do to heat yourself?
00:46:25.000And that's the kind of uncertainty that should scare you into action.
00:46:29.000And what's more is, and this is the last thing I'll say, is, Once this happens, then of course, like with this gasoline shortage, you see it's a little microcosm.
00:46:53.000And what do people do when they panic?
00:46:55.000They steal, they hoard, they get desperate.
00:47:00.000And desperation is not a good thing to have a lot of in a society.
00:47:04.000Hunger, discomfort, people being too hot or too cold or thinking that they might die imminently, and desperation, it's not a good thing to have a lot of that in a society.
00:47:16.000If you're playing Civilization V and your desperation meter is all the way up, barbarians are going to begin to spawn in your cities.
00:47:23.000You're going to begin to spawn mounted units, barbarians, and they're going to pillage all your tiles.
00:47:31.000Again, I'm using a video game analogy, but.
00:47:34.000The more desperate that people get, the more willing to do things, the more willing they are to do things that are going to exacerbate the problems and create more chaos.
00:47:45.000This is why you have major criminal enterprises in these countries, because this is where institutions will arise, like an organized crime or a gang or something, to traffic goods that the government cannot, to be more efficient or to meet market demand that the government or the private sector, you know, the legitimate private sector, isn't accommodating for.
00:49:03.000It's this weird thing about group psychology where, you know, you might see the warning signs, but you look at everybody else and say, oh, well, Well, the neighbors aren't panicking.
00:49:44.000And then the whole thing's not, and then your head is melting off because the ceiling has, you know, flammable insulation in it.
00:49:54.000And then the whole thing becomes a furnace, and then everyone's melting, and then everyone rushes for the door, and then the door gets clogged, and then everyone burns to death.
00:50:01.000That's sort of like what we're in right now.
00:50:03.000And you're the guy that's in the crowd saying, hmm, I think I smell smoke.
00:51:03.000Able to live a decent life which is pleasant.
00:51:07.000You go back and you look at how things used to be, and it's not like the world was without problems 100 years ago or 50 years ago, but for the most part, people could live a kind of predictable life which is more or less comfortable and be able to raise a family and do something that they enjoyed or were passionate about, enjoy relative abundance.
00:51:29.000And now we're not going to have that anymore.
00:52:14.000Because, you know, what the struggle is going to be like is eating rodents because you can't, like, you know, you can't go to the store anymore.
00:52:24.000You're going to be, like, dirty and you're going to be eating rodents and you'll probably get diseased and your water will give you diarrhea.
00:55:51.000So, thousands of years ago, the Jewish people, you know, fled Egypt and established a homeland in Israel.
00:56:03.000Their Messiah comes and they reject him because they are worldly and arrogant.
00:56:10.000They are punished by God through the Romans and expelled across the world.
00:56:17.000Now, thousands of years later, in the 19th century, after the Jews have been persecuted everywhere they go for no reason at all, for no reason at all, just because people are assholes, people are jerks, and they're like, hey, you look different than us, we hate you.
00:56:36.000So, Jewish people are scattered all over the world by the Romans.
00:57:30.000That's the problem, they're being mistreated.
00:57:32.000So they go all over the world, and after thousands of years, they're expelled from places, they're segregated, they're discriminated against.
00:57:42.000People call them names, lots of bad things happen to them.
00:57:46.000And so eventually, some of them say, you know what?
00:57:48.000The only way that we're ever going to thrive, the only way that we're ever going to survive anywhere is if we have our own country.
00:57:57.000We're in all these other countries, and we're at the mercy of Hitler, and we're at the mercy of the Russians and the Pale of Settlement.
00:58:07.000And we're at the mercy of our host countries, and we're really not having a good time.
00:58:13.000So why don't we create a country of our own, and then we can push people around?
00:58:43.000Some said South America, some said Central Africa, some said, you know, I mean, they had a lot of different ideas about where exactly this would be, but ultimately they decided on the.
00:58:54.000The eternal home of the Jewish people, which is Palestine, which is Israel.
00:59:00.000There's one problem, though, which is that Palestine at the time was controlled by the Ottomans, was controlled by the Ottoman Turkish Caliphate, which is Muslim and hostile to Jews.
00:59:12.000Nevertheless, they set out to settle this Muslim occupied land of Palestine, 90, 95% Palestinian, okay.
00:59:23.000Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, 5% Christian.
00:59:27.000And so, starting in the early 20th century, the Jews begin to colonize what is modern day Israel.
00:59:47.000I don't think it's necessary for the purpose of this.
00:59:49.000But basically, the Ottoman Empire what was the word that I used?
00:59:55.000The Ottoman Empire is basically dismembered and they slice it all up and they give it to different people.
01:00:01.000And the Sykes Picot Agreement after World War I so Ottomans lose World War I, French and British are the victors.
01:00:07.000So the French and the British partition the Middle East between each other with the Sykes Picot Agreement.
01:00:13.000And some of the Middle East is given to the French and some of the Middle East is given to the British.
01:00:18.000The Mandate of Palestine is the British Palestine that they inherit from World War I. After World War II in 1948, the Jewish people declare independence.
01:00:32.000There's this World War II memo which says that the Jewish people have a right to a homeland in Israel, and the Jewish people fight this war of independence.
01:00:40.000They basically push all the Palestinian Arab Muslims out.
01:00:44.000At that point, the Jewish population has grown to something like a majority, like half or like a majority.
01:00:50.000They expel all the Palestinians into neighboring Jordan and Lebanon, to the east across the Jordan River, and to the north into Lebanon, and they establish their own country.
01:01:04.000I'm oversimplifying a little bit, but this is the problem.
01:01:08.000You had Muslim Arabs that used to live there, Jewish people settled it, and in 1948, they created a state and they pushed all these Palestinians out.
01:01:19.000And they call this the Day of Catastrophe.
01:01:21.000They pushed all the Palestinians into Lebanon and Jordan, they displaced them violently and aggressively established their own territory.
01:01:29.000And ever since 1948, This has been the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
01:01:34.000How do we reconcile a Jewish homeland in the middle of a Muslim region?
01:01:42.000How do we reconcile a newly created Jewish state in the middle of a former Muslim empire?
01:01:52.000You know, to their north, to their south, and to the east is Muslim.
01:01:57.000To their south is Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
01:02:46.000Problem number two is how do you reconcile in particular this legacy of 1948, which is to say, Palestinians, to create the Jewish state, people had to be displaced rapidly, right, in a short period of time, and lots of them.
01:03:03.000Jews settle Palestine in half of a century, and then they expel the remaining Arab Palestinians for the most part aggressively in 1948 to establish this country.
01:03:14.000So it's not just that there's a Jewish state in the Middle East, it's that there is a Jewish state that displaced.
01:03:21.000Arab Muslim Palestinians, which have been living there for thousands of years and who, within a lifetime, 1948, in the grand scheme of things, is recent.
01:03:31.000How do you reconcile this with the fact that there are people that were displaced within their lifetimes by this state, now living in another country?
01:03:38.000And how do you reconcile the fact that there are people living under Jewish rule, living under the Jewish Israeli rule, that are being treated as second class citizens in a place that their forefathers, you know, that was their forefathers' country?
01:03:55.000The modern day problem is maybe a little bit deeper than that, which is that what happened in 1948 has been continuing perpetually since then.
01:04:06.000That the Jewish settlers who started coming in at the turn of the last century have ever since been continually expanding and settling Muslim Palestinian areas.
01:04:18.000Civilian Jewish Israeli settlers are continuing to this day.
01:04:23.000To move into historically Muslim, Arab, Palestinian neighborhoods and parts of the country and colonizing the entire mandate of Palestine, the entire region of Israel, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
01:04:40.000And so the Palestinians continue to be pushed back, continue to be pushed out.
01:04:46.000What's happening today is that after what's happening today concerns a very specific neighborhood, there's a neighborhood, I think it's called Sheikh Jara or Jara Sheikh.
01:04:56.000There is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, in the capital of Israel, where four Palestinian Muslim families are being evicted by the Jewish state, evicted from their homes.
01:05:09.000And this is a strategy that Jews have used they in Israel will evict the Palestinians using this kind of legal framework, and then they will move into their houses, and then a Palestinian Muslim neighborhood becomes a Jewish neighborhood.
01:05:25.000It's a very aggressive policy, it's been getting more aggressive.
01:05:29.000The remaining four families from this historically Palestinian Muslim neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem.
01:05:35.000In response to this, there have been Palestinian protests.
01:05:38.000In response to the protests, the Israeli police go in and they go into a mosque and they go into a particular place and they shoot protesters with rubber bullets and tear gas and all of that.
01:05:51.000In response to that, Palestinians in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip will send rockets into Israel, launch, and these are very primitive.
01:06:00.000These are very rudimentary explosive devices, but they'll float explosives on balloons into Israel, launch, again, primitive rockets into Israel, and attack major cities like Tel Aviv or Jerusalem.
01:06:12.000In response to that, Israel gets 80 fighter jets and destroys buildings in the Gaza Strip.
01:06:19.000In response to that, Israel literally assembles armed military soldiers and tanks and puts them on the border and gets 80 fighter jets, scrambles them, and gets them to blow up buildings and bomb people in the Gaza Strip.
01:06:33.000And then the whole world says, hey, I mean, that's not really proportional.
01:06:39.000Palestinians protest and you shoot them with rubber bullets.
01:06:43.000Palestinians launch these kind of like rudimentary explosives, and then you blow up buildings and you send 80 fighter jets to bomb the shit out of them.
01:06:50.000It seems like it's a little disproportionate.
01:06:53.000And then Israel says, Well, everyone who says that is being anti Semitic.
01:07:08.000This is from antiwar.com, summarizes it a little bit better.
01:07:14.000It says, with violence against Palestinians escalating in East Jerusalem, the U.S. expressed concerns over the situation and the planned evictions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
01:07:26.000According to multiple media reports, the Israelis did not want to hear these concerns and told the U.S. not to meddle in the crisis.
01:07:34.000The concerns expressed in a Sunday phone call between National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and his Israeli counterpart Mir Ben Shabbat.
01:07:42.000According to Hebrew media reports, Ben Shabbat told Sullivan, That the U.S. and other countries should stay out of the conflict.
01:07:49.000He said international pressure on Israel to halt the evictions or stop the violence would be a prize for the rioters and those sending them who hope to put pressure on Israel.
01:08:00.000Ben Shabbat also said Israel was handling the situation out of a position of sovereignty, responsibly, and with common sense despite the provocations.
01:08:08.000About 40 Palestinians face eviction in Sheikh Jarrah.
01:08:13.000Palestinian protesters have faced attacks from Israeli security forces and Jewish settlers.
01:08:18.000Israeli police also stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque and fired rubber bullets and tear gas, injuring 215, including 153 who were hospitalized.
01:08:29.000Amid the Israeli violence, rockets were fired and incendiary balloons were sent from Gaza, which did little damage.
01:08:35.000While Sullivan expressed concerns over the Israeli violence, he agreed with Ben Shabbat that the launching of rockets and balloons from Gaza towards Israel is unacceptable and must be condemned.
01:08:46.000On Monday, Israel pounded Gaza with airstrikes, killing at least 27 people, including nine children.
01:09:27.000And then Israel kills 27 people with airstrikes from fighter jets, including nine children.
01:09:35.000And then they call themselves a victim.
01:09:38.000Now, you know, my opinion on this, first and foremost, which I'll say at the outset, and this is not a cop out, but it's true, I am America first.
01:09:48.000So honestly, I don't care about Jerusalem.
01:10:21.000On some level, you know, and this is what I'll get to.
01:10:24.000There's a humanitarian concern, which I'll get to, but from a geopolitical point of view, as a political operative, you know, when we're talking about the American government, we're talking strictly in terms of national interest, not in terms of morality, not in terms of ought, you know, what people ought to do in the world and what in a universal sense would be right or just.
01:10:47.000When we talk in terms of politics, we're talking in terms of policy, in terms of the actions of the state apparatus.
01:10:54.000And the state apparatus is not governed by this kind of universal morality.
01:10:58.000It's governed by sober national interest.
01:11:02.000My idea of what the government's business should be is protecting the interests of Americans.
01:11:08.000So my concern is not really what's going on with the Palestinians or the Israelis, it's what's in the best interest of Americans.
01:11:15.000Some people say, oh, you know, these Palestinians, these poor, poor people.
01:11:23.000And the reason for this, I don't say this to be callous, I don't say this to be insensitive or cruel.
01:11:28.000Or inhumane, but there is lots of suffering in the world which we can do nothing about.
01:11:34.000There is lots of suffering throughout Africa, China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Israel, the Congo, Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt.
01:11:47.000We could all day long name countries where horrible things are happening every day.
01:11:52.000Some of them inflicted by nature, some of them inflicted by man, some of them inflicted by impersonal systems or institutions.
01:12:01.000There is a lot of suffering in the world happening to people on a massive scale every day that we could do nothing about.
01:12:08.000And so, the business of the American government is not to intervene selectively to try to stop what is really unstoppable human misery, but it is to exert the interest of the American people in the world and in our own country.
01:12:22.000So, I don't say that to be mean, I don't say that to be rude, but America cannot solve the Israel Palestine conflict.
01:13:09.000We have, to the exclusion of Palestine, sided with Israel every single time since 1948 and before that in the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
01:13:20.000It has been one sided, it has been unconditional, the United States support for Israel.
01:13:26.000And what that has done for America is it's created enemies for us in the Middle East, it has created resentment against us among Muslims, it has served as the impetus for terrorist attacks on our soil.
01:13:38.000Palestinians have not conducted terrorism on American soil, not major operations.
01:13:44.000The biggest terrorist attacks on American soil are by Islamist groups, not Palestinian, but Islamist groups that hate America to a large extent because of our unconditional support for Israel against the Palestinians.
01:14:00.000Not because, you know, Palestinians are sick or something, but because of our unconditional support for their adversary.
01:14:07.000So, what our support for Israel has done is isolated us diplomatically.
01:14:12.000Hurt our interests geopolitically, created resentment against us among billions of people in the world, and it has caused death and destruction on our own soil at the hands of Muslim extremists.
01:14:23.000That is what our support for Israel has gotten us.
01:14:27.000What's more, and this is a relevant fact, is that in spite of our unconditional support for Israel, which is only in this conflict, which has only created bad blood and enmity between us and Middle Eastern countries, what's more is that they never return the favor.
01:14:43.000We have supported them unconditionally in their expansion of settlements and in everything that they do over there.
01:14:48.000And we, from a rhetorical point of view, tell them, hey, don't do settlements.
01:14:55.000Not only do we give them unconditional support in that way, but in every other way billions of dollars in foreign aid, we fight wars at their behest, and the list goes on and on.
01:15:04.000And they repay the favor not with gratitude and not with some kind of mutual, reciprocal benefit, but they respond to it by spying on us.
01:15:12.000They respond to it by selling our military technology to our adversaries.
01:15:17.000They respond to it by influencing our politics in a bad way.
01:15:21.000They take people that spy on us, that conduct espionage against us in America, and literally roll out the red carpet for them on a tarmac with the prime minister awaiting them.
01:15:30.000That happened to Jonathan Pollard this year or last year, I think.
01:15:35.000So it's one sided, it's not reciprocal.
01:15:40.000And actually, bad things happen to us because of it.
01:15:43.000So, why do we continue to support Israel then?
01:15:47.000If that is the case, why then would we have an unconditional, one sided support for Israel if we get nothing in return and actually we suffer because of it?
01:15:58.000You can't be America first and be in favor of this relationship.
01:16:03.000The reason, and this is a rhetorical question, of course, when I say, why do we do this?
01:16:08.000The rhetorical question is to illustrate there's no reason we should be doing this if you're an American citizen, if you're an American patriot.
01:16:15.000We all know the reason why we do it, though.
01:16:17.000If I were to sincerely ask why America would act against its own interest, it's because America doesn't act.
01:16:30.000Individuals in institutions are captured by interests.
01:16:35.000Individuals in the U.S. government, State Department, in the Congress, in the DOD, you know, so that is your Secretary of Defense, your Secretary of State, your deputies, your undersecretaries, your bureaucrats.
01:16:49.000Your politicians, your individual politicians, they are captured by interest groups, lobby groups.
01:16:57.000It is no secret that the Israel lobby is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, and most influential lobbies in the country.
01:17:05.000Bigger than big pharma, bigger than big agriculture, or maybe just as influential.
01:17:10.000We could talk about all those lobbies, but largely the Israel lobby goes ignored because everyone's in on it.
01:17:16.000Every year, two thirds of Congress attends the APAC annual conference, the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee.
01:17:23.000Two thirds of Congress, Republicans and Democrats, presidents, speakers of the House, Senate majority leaders, senators, congressmen, governors, you name it, they all go.
01:17:34.000And a lot of them are on the dole to some extent, and if they're not, then opponents are funded by the Israel lobby.
01:17:41.000So when I say, well, why do we carry this on?
01:17:43.000It's a rhetorical question for people to say, gee, there really is no good reason.
01:17:48.000To sincerely ask the question, why does it go on in spite of there being no good reason?
01:17:59.000People are corrupted by a lobby to make decisions against the interest of the other people in the country.
01:18:06.000People in the elite, in the institutions, are paid by people that support Israel to go against the interest of the other people in America.
01:18:15.000So it's very much in the interest of the policymakers and the decision makers to be in favor of Israel.
01:18:23.000They get paid money and their influence is protected and elevated.
01:18:28.000So it's not in the interest of the United States of America or you and I, but it is in the personal, individual interest of policymakers, decision makers, and individuals in the institutions to do this.
01:18:40.000Because they derive a personal benefit.
01:18:59.000This is how interest based politics works.
01:19:03.000That is why the American government has a pro big pharma policy, that is why the American government gives subsidies to farms.
01:19:11.000That is why the American government does lots of things that are not in the interest of the American people because the people derive a personal benefit and power by supporting policies that benefit their patrons by the people that pay them lavishly.
01:19:28.000When you're a politician, bureaucrat, whatever, regulatory firm, it's called regulatory capture.
01:19:34.000A bureaucracy is created to regulate an industry, and over time, that industry buys out the department, buys out the bureaucracy that regulates itself.
01:19:45.000To give itself an advantage, to give itself a benefit.
01:19:51.000This is like they teach you this in political science 101 regulatory capture.
01:19:57.000They set up the Department of Transportation or Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate the railroads and regulate highways and all of that.
01:20:06.000And over time, powerful, some of the most wealthy people in the industry pay lots of money to put up politicians that appoint the people that.
01:20:16.000Comprise a regulatory agency, regulatory bureaucracy, to create favorable regulations for that business, for that industry.
01:20:26.000And in the same way, a state actor like Israel, a state actor will sponsor politicians that will work in the State Department or the Congress and create favorable policy for that given state.
01:20:37.000Saudi Arabia does it, Qatar does it, the United Arab Emirates does it, China does it, many countries do it, NATO does it to some extent.
01:20:46.000Israel just happens to be one of the most pervasive and successful lobbies in that regard.
01:20:52.000And that's why you see all these conservatives, it's a pretty good litmus test.
01:20:55.000That's why you see all these conservatives, including Donald Trump, come out and say, We stand with Israel and their right to self defense.
01:24:12.000So, why does Trump write out a press release about some situation that's going on in Israel that has nothing to do with us in a region of the world which is not strategically important and something that we really don't even have like a real clear interest to intervene?
01:24:29.000Because the Trump campaign was funded by people that are Zionists.
01:24:52.000Why would he not write an article about the Donbass, about Luhansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine?
01:24:58.000Why would he not talk about literally any other flashpoint, any other regional flashpoint between a state actor in a regional sort of breakaway territory?
01:25:10.000I mean, it's so obvious, but you're not allowed to talk about it.
01:25:18.000It's so obvious, but you just can't say it.
01:25:22.000Why does everyone give a shit about Israel?
01:25:24.000It's like Ilhan Omar said, it's all about the Benjamins.
01:26:02.000I didn't talk about it yesterday because I was like, I literally don't care about Israel or Palestine.
01:26:07.000And even liberals, and it's fascinating, leftists come at it because they view Palestine as, you know, that's an expression to them of anti colonialism.
01:26:19.000That is the last breath of anti colonialism, right?
01:26:25.000So leftists are uninterested in the national interest of America.
01:26:29.000They are pro Palestine because they think that the Palestinian struggle as an anti colonial struggle.
01:26:36.000They view the Jews as an extension of whites, as an extension of Judeo Christian civilization, and therefore as a colonial oppressor of the global south, right?
01:26:47.000Of the Muslim Arabs, you know, the third world.
01:27:05.000Now, all of that being said, You know, I'm basically ambivalent about the situation.
01:27:13.000On the one hand, you know, if I were Israel, it would make sense.
01:27:17.000If I were Israel, I would say, you know what?
01:27:20.000We're in a hostile territory, we're in a hostile neighborhood.
01:27:24.000We've got Muslims in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which don't like us.
01:27:28.000They're never going to like us because we had to take from you to create our own nation, and it's a zero sum game.
01:27:34.000For Israel to exist, Palestine had to be displaced.
01:27:39.000So, that resentment will always be there.
01:27:41.000And as long as those people are within the borders of Israel, they're going to pose a threat to Israel.
01:27:46.000They're this resentful, angry minority where there's really, I don't think, a political solution to integrate them.
01:27:53.000So, I mean, I think it's in Israel's best interest to basically create civilian settlements.
01:28:00.000And if the Palestinians object in a violent way, then that serves as a perfect pretext for the Israelis to bomb them into submission and fight a war against them.
01:29:26.000Israel is taking it because they're more powerful.
01:29:29.000And Palestine can't really fight back because they're not as powerful.
01:29:32.000So, Palestine has to resort to the tactics of an uprising.
01:29:38.000They have to resort to the tactics of a sort of asymmetrical guerrilla warfare, which is the sort of.
01:29:45.000You know, amateurish, primitive bombs, incendiary devices, militia tactics, and also political tactics, and trying to bring in the international community to intercede.
01:31:08.000The Jews think it's necessary to have it to protect themselves, and so they've got their national interest, and they're pursuing it ruthlessly and effectively and aggressively.
01:31:18.000And Palestine, they want the land too, so they're trying their best to fight back.
01:31:24.000Honestly, I'm not really too sympathetic to one side or the other.
01:31:27.000I think it's sort of like just the natural course of events.
01:31:31.000It's a tug of war over a piece of land.
01:32:23.000They're going to go to someplace where it's not their land, right?
01:32:26.000They're going to go to Spain or France or America, where, you know, I mean, they won't be displacing people like they did in Palestine, but they'll be in a foreign place again.
01:32:38.000Okay, well, now, well, they, but that's our land.
01:32:40.000So, it's like, How do you create a country in the 20th century when it seems like all the borders have been fixed and these kinds of wars of conquest are now considered illegal or wrong?
01:33:29.000But if they think it's necessary to preserve their people, hey, if a people think it's necessary to preserve themselves and their homeland, is it right?
01:33:39.000If they think they're being, if there's nowhere else for them to go, if they have no country for them to gather, Either they're going to carve out some other country or they're going to carve it out in Palestine or they'll carve it out somewhere else.
01:34:02.000So, the criticism to me would not be so much like, oh, there can't be no expansionist projects anymore because the lines have been drawn and that's it.
01:34:12.000It's not so much that they're creating a country or that there's so called aggression or whatever.
01:34:16.000It's really the criticism might come from the conduct.
01:34:20.000Like, hey, take it easy on these guys.
01:34:22.000Maybe you could handle it in a more humane way.
01:34:25.000Maybe it's overkill to bomb that many people.
01:34:28.000But, you know, they've got this resentful population.
01:34:32.000If you think that there's really not a moral right to the land, then the Palestinians have a right to be resentful.
01:34:39.000And the Israelis don't really have an obligation to put up with the resentment.
01:34:44.000So there's this natural enmity and conflict.
01:37:55.000So, I think the solution that's best for America is the solution that's best.
01:38:01.000So, brokering some kind of peace to get us in the good graces of strategic partners in the Middle East, you know, maybe that makes the most sense.
01:38:12.000But I don't see America's role as being like a human rights broker.
01:38:34.000I don't think there's a strategic interest either way.
01:38:37.000Israel's not a strategically important country.
01:38:39.000What we say and do about the conflict has ramifications strategically, but insofar as we remove ourselves and just kind of call it like we see it, we do no damage to ourselves.
01:38:53.000But they, you know, I mean, then we're going to go into pain.
01:38:56.000India and Pakistan and Greece and Turkey and Armenia and Azerbaijan and Sudan and South Sudan and Egypt and Egypt and Ethiopia and you know and every conflict in the world who freaking cares?
01:40:03.000And so either the Jewish state will be uprooted, which I don't think will happen, and I don't think is practical, and put somewhere else or something, or destroyed or occupied, which I don't think will happen.
01:40:15.000And, you know, their foreign policy is we will literally destroy the whole world if that happens.
01:40:21.000Their official policy, it's called the Samson option Samson takes down the pillars and brings the temple down on himself.
01:40:30.000Their doctrine, called the Samson option, is if we ever are going to be destroyed or occupied, we will nuke the whole world and end the world.
01:40:43.000That is literally their foreign policy doctrine.
01:40:47.000And like Samson bringing everything in on himself, if they get destroyed, if they are about to be destroyed, if they're about to be occupied, they're going to nuke all the world's capitals.
01:41:42.000And that's just, you know, I don't see any other way.
01:41:45.000Either it's going to be like a Middle Eastern coalition against Israel and Israel nukes the world if they succeed, or Israel succeeds against the Middle East and expels the Palestinians to Lebanon and other countries.
01:42:02.000But, you know, it really comes down to that kind of simple deal.
01:42:49.000But at least for now, You know, as far as their objectives are narrow, their overt and explicit stated objective, or even what we can infer from their objectives, it's, you know, it's merely from the Med to the Jordan River.
01:47:12.000You know, this is the guy who controls.
01:47:14.000When they talk about Davos, when all the private public sector people of the world meet in Switzerland to plan the world agenda, that's them.
01:47:23.000And they articulate these goals about transhumanism, microchips, vaccine mandates.
01:50:33.000And I feel like all the other peoples of the world, what's the dream?
01:50:39.000What is the dream of the Chinese people?
01:50:42.000I mean, don't get me wrong, there's a communitarian aspect which is enviable and leads to maybe a more functional society in certain ways, but what's their dream?
01:51:14.000And the other peoples of the world are like, well, what if we ground corn up into this sort of like tortilla and, you know, we sat around the fire eating it?
01:51:25.000For thousands of years, like we've always done.
01:51:28.000What if we made a teepee and we farmed the land and we fought with our neighbors forever?
01:52:47.000In America, we had a system that allowed people to do that.
01:52:51.000You didn't have to go through corrupt bureaucrats and corrupt soldiers and grease the hand of every gatekeeper and whatever, and you weren't oppressed by some corrupt, tyrannical regime.
01:53:05.000And America had this system where you could reach out and become a king and fail.
01:53:12.000You know, you have that sort of like Batman climbing out of that, climbing out of the hole, and Dark Knight rises.
01:53:59.000Accident says, The war stuff is funny until you realize that we Americans are going to end up paying for the damage whether we want to or not.
01:56:31.000But, I mean, you know, with him, without getting needlessly personal or whatever, people like him are of a very particular stripe.
01:56:41.000Bernie supporter, Tulsi Gabbard supporter, he's like a red pilled leftist.
01:56:46.000Well, I'm a liberal, but I agree with conservatives on literally everything.
01:56:50.000I'm a liberal, I'm a progressive, like Dave Rubin, like Joe Rogan, like Tim Pool.
01:56:59.000These red pilled liberals, there's a very particular sort of category there, and they are a sideshow because they accept the full liberal consensus ideology.
01:57:11.000They accept the premise of the elites on a fundamental level.
01:57:16.000Do they really disagree with the CIA, the FBI?
01:57:37.000Are they going to speak out against social progress, the social revolution that's occurring with porn and promiscuity and homosexuality and transgenderism?
01:58:16.000And the system is enabled by liberalism.
01:58:19.000And so, insofar as you're like Michael Tracy and you support BLM and you support the goals of BLM and you support mass migration and you support the destruction of the family, well, what's the problem?
01:58:30.000That the left wing system is just too aggressive?
01:58:33.000Well, the left wing, when they achieve their goals, they're not playing by their own rules.
01:59:29.000This is a sideshow for progressives to think they're challenging the system, but they all dutifully voted for Biden anyway, just like Bernie did.
01:59:38.000Tulsi Gabbard, who's from the Council on Foreign Relations, the Council on Foreign Relations, who's hugging Miriam Adelson.
01:59:45.000Who spoke for Christians United for Israel, and who also endorsed Joe Biden when all was said and done, and gracefully bowed out of politics recently?
01:59:56.000Someone who had no chance of winning and who went and fell in line behind Joe Biden, and who, for the most part, other than her woke foreign policy, was not even really right wing.
02:00:08.000It's like this curious sideshow, says a lot of the right stuff, it's attractive, says a lot of the right stuff, but ultimately, when the guy says, Oh, stop the steal, was humiliating.
02:00:19.000You know, the guy who's called me a Holocaust denier before.
02:00:43.000So, you are a controlled form of dissent.
02:00:46.000The real challenge to the system happened in 2016, and it's coming from reactionaries and from the right wing.
02:00:54.000If you're voting for Tulsi Gabbard and if you're sort of willfully naive about this stuff, you may be well meaning, but you're acting ultimately as a sideshow for the elite.
02:01:04.000It's almost like a controlled, approved form of dissent.
02:01:11.000So that's the way that I characterize him.
02:01:13.000And that's ultimately what a lot of people like him are about saying just enough.
02:01:47.000Nathaniel says, I'm curious, how Ted-pilled are you on the question of rapidly developing communications and visual entertainment technology?
02:01:55.000Have you read any of Ted's second book, released from jail, Anti-Tech Revolution?
02:02:02.000I mean, I've read Industrial Society and Its Future and all of that, and I'm like kind of against, vaguely against tech, but I just don't know what we would do to stop it.
02:02:16.000You know, I'm interested in things that are practical.
02:02:19.000So when people talk about, well, what about monarchy?
02:02:23.000It's like, yeah, I mean, maybe, but I just think that things are just playing out in a certain way, and some things are just going to have to play out.
02:03:10.000Black Swan says, Are you the kind of guy who finds a song album you like and will listen to it over and over for hours, or do you like to change the music up a lot?
02:03:18.000If I find a song, I'll listen to it a lot, but not like over and over for hours.
02:03:41.000Love working my way through 100 super chats, and every time you go from one page, so there's 15 per page, and every time you go from one page to another, it completely destabilizes and stops working.
02:09:50.000They used to take the Israel trip, and now they take the Chicago trip, and they sign their life away forever to the cult of Nick Fuentes in America First.
02:10:00.000All knees will bow in the conservative movement.
02:13:08.000So I says to him, says, you've said one of the keys to charisma is to have an air of nonchalance and stop caring what other people think of you.
02:14:34.000I'm slaying the dragon of the American regime, basically.
02:14:40.000So I would say that one has been, you know, unlike St. Michael and.
02:14:44.000St. George, because I see myself as like a warrior.
02:14:48.000You know, I mean, I'm, you know, frankly, I'm not the most pious Catholic who's ever lived or anything, and I know that's not like an excuse, but I feel like, you know, I'm going to war for God every day when I do the show.
02:15:02.000So I feel like inspired by that sort of martial courage in a sense, in a metaphorical sense, in that way.
02:15:08.000So those are probably my favorites, but that's my confirmation, Saints.
02:15:37.000I'm white and I'm going to have to ask you to stop using that word right now.
02:15:43.000JK, no, they can say it and so can we.
02:15:48.000NJ Conservative says, What's your take on psychological disorders?
02:15:52.000I feel like if most people stopped sinning, they'd cure most of it, but there are definitely psychopaths, albeit most is from childhood trauma.
02:16:00.000That's a tough one because people that are like psychopaths don't have a conscience.
02:19:11.000You know, it's kind of funny because he would come at me with, like, oh, you know, so you said this, that, and you were with this guy.
02:19:18.000And, you know, he explained this to me because we actually had kind of like a heart to heart, well, you know, in as much as you can with a journalist or a media person.
02:19:28.000And he was like, well, you know, I've got to ask you these questions as somebody who is liberal and as somebody who is presenting this to a mainstream audience.
02:19:37.000You know, so he's like, in other words, I, not that he was like sympathetic or anything, he wasn't at all.
02:19:43.000But he was saying, in other words, like it's my journalistic duty to ask you hard questions, to ask you questions that have been raised.
02:19:49.000And I said, you know, that's fair enough.
02:19:53.000And he said, I don't think we're going to be biased.
02:19:55.000He says, we're not trying to be biased.
02:19:57.000And I said, well, there's sort of this natural antagonism that obviously I want to present myself in a good way.
02:22:49.000So you almost have to play devil's advocate for it to even be fair.
02:22:54.000I just, I wish it was more about ideas rather than like, well, you said this and you're this.
02:22:59.000Like, I'm far less interested in debating what I'm called or what I've said in the past than like, well, what are your beliefs and justify that?
02:23:16.000So, that's the part where it gets a little bit, it's like, is this really the conversation that is interesting?
02:23:23.000To me, what would be interesting is like, here's a guy who's thrived on all these alternative platforms, captured the imagination, and inspired thousands of young people, is clearly having an impact and changing the conversation while saying things that are seemingly contradictory.
02:23:40.000Sort of like break that dissonance down.
02:23:42.000At once, you're supposed to be this extremist.
02:24:49.000I'm like, you know, I take the Trump sort of strategy of take care of the downside, upside takes care of itself.
02:24:57.000If you prepare for the worst, Then you're good, right?
02:25:00.000In other words, if you assume the worst and prepare for the worst, then you don't have to worry about anything.
02:25:05.000So, in other words, I'm like, okay, I expect this to be practical, to be a total hit piece, totally biased, slanted, edited, you know, blah, blah, blah.
02:25:17.000And I'm like, well, what's the worst that's going to happen?
02:25:19.000They're going to present something biased?
02:25:23.000The difference is that at least I get to answer.
02:25:25.000The way that I see it, when media reports on me, it's one sided.
02:25:30.000You know, when they do these articles about me, it's like, well, Nick Fuentes is a da da da, and he said this, and he's a bad guy, right?
02:25:39.000And that's what people are reading regardless.
02:25:41.000If people are reporting on me regardless, they Google me and they see white nationalist, Holocaust denier, catboy, Hispanic, you know, right?
02:27:21.000That was like the most dishonest, sneaky hit job ever in the entire world, where they came into my house and said, We're filming true life.
02:28:03.000I like to see me on the screen because, you know, it's like people get a little dose, they get a little sample, and, you know, it might be slanted or whatever, but it's always slanted.
02:28:16.000And, you know, at least you get to provide a little bit of your side.
02:28:20.000Maybe people find me funny or whatever.
02:35:35.000So I says to him, this is definitely the same person.
02:35:38.000So I says to him, I says, LOL, imagine being unironically trans, wearing pretty dresses, spending forever getting your makeup just right, changing your pad every couple hours, getting compliments from boys, chatting with the girls at the salon.
02:38:33.000We used to make fun of people for being that way years ago.
02:38:35.000Like, oh, you throw a ball like a girl.
02:38:38.000Now, don't get me wrong, I didn't throw a ball particularly well, but it's like, you used to say, hey, you do something like a girl, you're girl like, as like a negative.
02:38:49.000And these days, Zoomers are like, Yeah, and hey, you know, wake up, kid, wake up.
02:38:55.000You need to get slapped in the back of the head.
02:38:57.000I'm taking you to the monster truck rally, man, or shoot a gun or something.
02:39:03.000Crying out loud, this is the wussification.
02:44:39.000Our infrastructure is fragile, especially in the cybersecurity realm.
02:44:43.000While I doubt ransomware was responsible for this massive gas shortage, millions of uncontrolled computers are out there free for the taking by all sorts of malicious actors.
02:45:58.000Kyle says America will pay decabillions so Israel can have a better military, but not a couple million dollar ransom so our citizens can have gasoline.
02:46:07.000Well, I don't know that that's really the same.
02:46:48.000He was the only one that wanted to go.
02:46:51.000Begging, we got to go to Disney World.
02:46:53.000And understand that AFPAC was so busy.
02:46:57.000And then I'm like, okay, well, what's the program to go to Disney World?
02:47:01.000And I'm talking to Assistant Groyper, and he's like, so we got to get our, we got to wake up early and link our Disney account to our thing and then get the fast pass.
02:47:22.000And now you're telling me, so we gotta link my Disney Plus with my Disney Fast Pass, and then I gotta wake up at 6 a.m. and buy the ticket, drive there early.
02:53:30.000Elliot Hamilton says, Someone should tell these B list Groypers to stop spurging out whenever they see a Paul Gosar tweet they disagree with.
02:53:37.000Let's just appreciate the good he's done.
02:53:38.000Yeah, I don't see too much of that, but I agree.
02:54:58.000Mr. Richards says, What is the Benny Politzik lore?
02:55:02.000That's the guy that ran Reagan Battalion.
02:55:05.000And Reagan Battalion exposed Milo back in 2017 before he was supposed to be the keynote speaker at CPAC.
02:55:14.000And then Reagan Battalion sort of like spearheaded my firing from RSBN.
02:55:19.000Although they didn't, I mean, they tried that, but it didn't work.
02:55:22.000I got, we separated because of Charlottesville.
02:55:26.000It had nothing to do with Reagan Battalion, but they started to run the hit pieces about me in April 17, and then again in August 17, Cassie Dillon forwarded Media Matters and them that clip of me from Leadership Institute.
02:55:39.000And then somebody, I guess, did some hacking on Reagan Battalion and found the identity of who was behind it, and it was this.
02:55:45.000Guy Benny Politic, this Hasidic Jew from New York City who was involved in some pretty bizarre things.
02:55:52.000They did a key logger on his computer and found him looking up like child porn.
02:55:57.000Utah Zoomer says Did you see Ryan Fournier get humiliated by Vince Dow on stream a few nights ago?
02:56:17.000David says much of that Arab world was Christian, Byzantium, and Greco Roman before that, so I don't feel bad for anything that happens on either side.
02:56:34.000Imagine if we were invading and settling Mexico, and then when they complain to the international community, we tell them to stop meddling.
02:57:17.000Zoom Hours says, Like most American policies, the U.S. policy regarding Palestine was correct.
02:57:22.000From the nation's founding until the 60s.
02:57:24.000America didn't start to lean Israel until JFK, then went full kosher with gay LBJ.
02:57:30.000Yeah, but even Truman, I mean, even the establishment of Israel and its recognition was sort of a similar deal with the briefcase full of cash and that whole deal with Truman.
02:58:27.000Optics King says, What do you think of Warren Below?
