America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - WHO WILL RULE??? DeSantis DECLARES WAR On JEWISH MEDIA Giant Disney | America First Ep. 1154WHO WILL RULE??? DeSantis DECLARES WAR On JEWISH MEDIA Giant Disney

00:00:01.000 America First!

00:00:04.000 America First!

00:01:00.000 Good evening everybody!

00:01:01.000 You're watching America First.

00:01:03.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:01:05.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:01:07.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday.

00:01:10.000 We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into.

00:01:13.000 Big show!

00:01:14.000 Our featured story tonight is about Walt Disney Company versus the state of Florida.

00:01:20.000 And I hate DeSantis.

00:01:22.000 You know that.

00:01:24.000 I think he's a pawn of Israel, which sucks.

00:01:29.000 But he's low-key based for going after Disney.

00:01:35.000 And the big story tonight is that the Disney company is suing Ron DeSantis for picking on them, essentially.

00:01:43.000 They say that DeSantis is singling them out and discriminating against them as a company for their opposition to the Don't Say Gay bill last year, which is an ideological matter.

00:01:57.000 And the lawsuit's pretty strong, but it's a very good sign that this is happening because it raises a question about who is going to organize our society and how we're going to organize our society.

00:02:16.000 Which is to say that

00:02:18.000 Last year.

00:02:19.000 And it's my understanding, by the way, that this bill has gotten better.

00:02:23.000 This Don't Say Gay bill initially said that a public school couldn't teach the students about gender and sex orientation until fourth grade.

00:02:34.000 Which I said is a little ridiculous.

00:02:36.000 You're gonna ban talk about gay sex in the classroom until you turn eight?

00:02:41.000 That doesn't sound right to me.

00:02:44.000 Apparently they're changing the law this month so that it applies to all grades, which is an improvement.

00:02:51.000 Regardless, Disney declares a boycott against the state, and they speak out powerfully against the state for making this move.

00:03:00.000 And DeSantis comes down hard on the company, and he effectively does retaliate against the company.

00:03:06.000 And now that Disney is suing DeSantis back, it raises a question in American public life about

00:03:15.000 Who is in political control over the society?

00:03:18.000 Is it the state?

00:03:20.000 Or is it...

00:03:21.000 This pressure, which is unseen most of the time from the private sector.

00:03:28.000 In other words, if the public sector, DeSantis, the governor, if he makes a move and says, we're gonna ban this kind of talk in the classroom, I have a mandate, this is a conservative state, we will not allow this.

00:03:41.000 But the private sector comes back and says, well we'll pour money into your opposition, we're gonna lobby against you.

00:03:47.000 The outcome of this battle, of this bill, speaks to who is really pulling the strings.

00:03:54.000 So we'll talk about that idea tonight.

00:03:56.000 That's our featured story.

00:03:58.000 We'll also be talking tonight about this Trump indictment in Fulton County.

00:04:02.000 I haven't really wanted to talk about it because it's boring, but we'll talk about it anyway.

00:04:09.000 And Fulton County has been investigating Donald Trump for putting pressure

00:04:14.000 on the Georgia state government in 2020 trying to get them, excuse me, to change the outcome of that election.

00:04:22.000 There were at least three calls to the Secretary of State and other state government officials where he, again according to the investigation, attempted to get them to change the outcome of the election, which would be corruption.

00:04:38.000 So we'll talk about that too.

00:04:40.000 It's the other big indictment that has been discussed so far.

00:04:45.000 They say that it's a window between July and September when they may announce an indictment.

00:04:51.000 And they have announced that so that the state can make proper accommodations and preparations for public unrest if there's going to be an indictment, just like in New York.

00:05:01.000 So we'll talk about that too.

00:05:02.000 Should be a pretty good show.

00:05:04.000 Excited to be back.

00:05:06.000 Before we get into the news I want to remind you that our merch our merch store is closed on Friday.

00:05:14.000 We have our Fuentes Rally merch available for sale right now.

00:05:17.000 We have three shirts, we have a rally hat, limited time only, and I think it's pretty good stuff.

00:05:24.000 Very cool designs, very neat hat.

00:05:27.000 Everyone loves it so far.

00:05:29.000 I think I just got mine in the mail actually and

00:05:33.000 We're never going to sell it again after Friday.

00:05:35.000 We're actually going to burn all of it.

00:05:37.000 Everything that we don't sell, we're just going to physically destroy, delete all the files.

00:05:41.000 You will literally never be able to get it again after Friday.

00:05:44.000 So, if you even want it a little bit, you better pony up and go to the store and buy it right now, because I don't want to hear about it ever again after this.

00:05:54.000 People always say a week later, Oh Nick, when are you going to reopen the merch store?

00:05:58.000 Oh, I missed it.

00:05:59.000 Can I buy?

00:05:59.000 I don't want to hear it.

00:06:01.000 It's been on sale for a long time.

00:06:03.000 We even had credit card processing for like a day.

00:06:06.000 But it's at aff.events.merch Get it now because on Friday it's gone and I don't want to hear it.

00:06:18.000 Last time.

00:06:19.000 You don't want to miss out on this.

00:06:21.000 You don't want to miss out on this incredible sale.

00:06:24.000 You don't want to find yourself on Saturday saying, oh wait, it's closed?

00:06:28.000 Damn it!

00:06:29.000 I wish I had that black hat.

00:06:32.000 Cause it's gone.

00:06:35.000 So it's closing down 48 hours and then irreversibly closed.

00:06:40.000 That's it.

00:06:41.000 Never again will you be able to buy these great items, these great products.

00:06:47.000 So get them.

00:06:49.000 aff.events.store slash merch that is.

00:06:53.000 aff.events.merch Also remember to follow me here on Cozy.

00:06:58.000 Smash the follow button.

00:06:59.000 Get a push notification when I go live.

00:07:02.000 Follow me on Gab, Telegram, True Social, Rumble.

00:07:06.000 I'm on the air every night on Rumble as well.

00:07:09.000 We've been getting pretty good viewership on Rumble, like between 500 and 1,000 viewers every night on Rumble.

00:07:14.000 That's in addition to Cozy.

00:07:17.000 Pretty good.

00:07:18.000 They're still shadowbanning me though.

00:07:22.000 They won't put me on the front page.

00:07:23.000 They take me out so that when you go in the live video section they rank it by viewership and I'm consistently in like the top three or top five.

00:07:33.000 That's not even my primary platform.

00:07:36.000 But they don't put me on the list!

00:07:40.000 So it's not surprising.

00:07:42.000 I think that companies like Controlled by Israel probably like everything else.

00:07:48.000 But anyway, you could catch me on Rumble, and all the replays are on Rumble as well.

00:07:53.000 If you missed a replay from a couple weeks ago, it's on Rumble.

00:07:56.000 Check it out.

00:07:59.000 Okay, with that... There's one other thing.

00:08:02.000 I promise I'm not gonna spend a ton of time on this, because we need to get into the news, but...

00:08:07.000 Tucker Carlson just came out with a video today.

00:08:10.000 I don't know if you saw.

00:08:11.000 I'm sure you did.

00:08:11.000 It was on my Telegram.

00:08:13.000 But he released his first public comments since he was fired on Monday.

00:08:17.000 Put out a two-minute video.

00:08:19.000 Totally generic.

00:08:21.000 Talking about how the government is censoring free speech.

00:08:26.000 The two parties do not want you to hear the truth.

00:08:29.000 This sort of thing.

00:08:31.000 And there was also this really obvious stunt Daily Mail caught him on his way to dinner.

00:08:41.000 They just caught him driving a golf cart from his house where he lives to dinner and they did a little photo op and they said oh we just we caught him we just photographed him outside his house and he had this cute line where they said what are you doing now and he goes I'm about to have dinner with my wife

00:09:01.000 And they caught him outside.

00:09:03.000 Photo op.

00:09:04.000 Staged.

00:09:05.000 Staged.

00:09:06.000 Daily Mail.

00:09:07.000 Staged.

00:09:09.000 And he's driving his golf cart.

00:09:13.000 And maybe I'm being a little hard on the guy, but it just, it stings a little bit.

00:09:19.000 You got this guy making $20 million a year.

00:09:22.000 He's driving around on his golf cart outside of his $10 million compound.

00:09:26.000 Sounds like I'm seething right now, but I'm not.

00:09:29.000 And the guy has his reputation as he's this big truth teller, he's out there fighting the good fight, and here I am racking my brain, when has this guy ever said anything based ever at all?

00:09:42.000 All he does is downplay white identity, he'll play up white grievance, but downplay white identity, play up corruption, that sort of thing, but he's going to downplay any influence by the State of Israel or the Jews,

00:10:00.000 Mom's texting me.

00:10:02.000 The one, the link I gave for the store?

00:10:04.000 What's the right, what's the right link for the store?

00:10:06.000 Don't, please don't text me during my show, okay?

00:10:08.000 That part is done.

00:10:10.000 What is it?

00:10:11.000 Maybe it is slash store.

00:10:12.000 I don't know.

00:10:14.000 Okay, yeah, it's aff.events slash store.

00:10:17.000 Okay, happy?

00:10:17.000 Thanks for interrupting my flow.

00:10:20.000 Anyway, for, for the store it's aff.events slash store.

00:10:24.000 Listen, you know, store, merch, please.

00:10:30.000 We don't have time for this.

00:10:32.000 Anyway... Wow, that really, that really... Please do not text me during... Thank you for the urgent message.

00:10:40.000 I'm in the middle of something here.

00:10:44.000 Yeah, but feel free.

00:10:45.000 Just text me.

00:10:47.000 Anyway, um, I don't even remember what I was saying.

00:10:51.000 Tucker Carlson.

00:10:53.000 I'm trying to rack my brain wonder wondering whack my rack my fucking son of a bitch.

00:11:00.000 Seriously?

00:11:02.000 Here I am trying to rack my brain wondering.

00:11:06.000 What is a based thing that Tucker Carlson has ever said?

00:11:10.000 Because all I can recall, two years ago, literally two years ago, he made some remark about how the ADL will support Israel having a closed border but advocates for open borders for the United States.

00:11:25.000 And you know what?

00:11:26.000 I'll give you that.

00:11:27.000 That's pretty based.

00:11:28.000 But that's one thing in five or six years.

00:11:33.000 And everything since, he'll talk about replacement migration or even demographic change.

00:11:39.000 But a friend pointed this out to me today.

00:11:42.000 He's even doing a little bait and switch with the demographic change phrase.

00:11:48.000 Because what we understand as demographic change, we understand that to mean the white race is dying in the world.

00:11:57.000 The white race is not replacing itself organically

00:12:01.000 And that without dramatic intervention, white people will be genocided in all white countries by their new immigrant majorities in the next century.

00:12:13.000 But when you watch Tucker Carlson, and he popularizes the phrase demographic change, it's about voters!

00:12:20.000 He says that the Democrats are importing Democrat voters who are going to be more obedient to corporations.

00:12:30.000 But we of course support a race-blind meritocracy and a color-blind meritocracy just as long as they don't vote for the Democrats.

00:12:39.000 That's a very pernicious way to obfuscate the issue, popularizing the phrase demographic change and not just

00:12:49.000 Leaving it in an ambiguous way and saying the demographics are changing, draw your own conclusions, but explicitly saying the demographics are changing, but it isn't a race issue.

00:13:01.000 It's not a race issue at all.

00:13:03.000 And if you think it is, you're racist.

00:13:05.000 And if you interpret it through a racial lens, you're a Nazi and I won't go along with that because that's evil.

00:13:12.000 That's different.

00:13:13.000 Do you understand where I'm coming from on this?

00:13:16.000 I'm not trying to nitpick.

00:13:17.000 I'm really not.

00:13:19.000 But it's altogether a different and a separate thing to go out and say the Democrats are importing voters and they're changing the demographics of the country and let it land.

00:13:34.000 Because what you would call that is a dog whistle.

00:13:39.000 And it is!

00:13:41.000 What you would call that is selectively omitting certain parts of the narrative so you don't get fired on Fox News or so that you don't arouse suspicion from the other side that you're a total white nationalist.

00:13:54.000 Separate.

00:13:56.000 It's a separate thing to say the demographics are changing, and no, don't even get it in your head.

00:14:02.000 It's not about race.

00:14:04.000 Because white identity politics is just as bad as any other identity politics.

00:14:08.000 It's evil, because it erases the individual.

00:14:11.000 And in the years ahead, when whites become a minority, someone's gonna come along and say they speak for white people, and that is some straight-up Nazi stuff, and I will not stand for that!

00:14:20.000 I will not!

00:14:21.000 These are totally different things!

00:14:24.000 One of them, you could say, is somebody that is secretly on our side and trying to softly red pill people.

00:14:35.000 The other thing is this is a guy that doesn't agree with us and he wants to make sure everybody knows and he wants to make sure that nobody draws the right conclusion.

00:14:47.000 So when he goes up there and says, with Mensch's mold bug, that it's a decentralized elite, and it has no character or nationality, and it's really just these corporations, and it's got nothing to do with that other stuff, that actually demographic change is a voting rights issue.

00:15:07.000 I'm scratching my head wondering what is the big deal.

00:15:13.000 How is that different than Crowder or anybody else for that matter?

00:15:17.000 How is that different than Alex Jones or any of these other guys?

00:15:22.000 I'm just saying.

00:15:24.000 So I see this photo op and, nice photo op by the way, and then you see this video and I'm not trying to be overly critical but he's talking about the Uni Party and it's like, I'm sorry, but what do you oppose that the Uni Party doesn't?

00:15:42.000 Anyway, so I just saw that video.

00:15:44.000 I had to throw that out there.

00:15:45.000 I just see these hijinks and I'm like, really?

00:15:49.000 This is not the face of the resistance.

00:15:51.000 But we're gonna move on.

00:15:52.000 I want to get on into our news here and our first story.

00:15:55.000 We're finally gonna cover this Fulton County business.

00:15:59.000 And this is the story.

00:16:00.000 I'll just read it.

00:16:01.000 Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis plans to announce this summer whether she'll bring charges against former President Trump or his allies for their attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results.

00:16:16.000 Willis told local law enforcement officials in a letter that she plans to make an announcement on possible charges between July 11th and September 1st.

00:16:26.000 The letter is another strong indication that Willis is seriously weighing bringing racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Trump's actions in Georgia around the 2020 election.

00:16:39.000 In the letter addressed to the Sheriff of Fulton County, Patrick Labatt, who is in charge of courthouse security, Willis said that open source intelligence has previously indicated that decisions in this case could provoke significant public reaction that could result in violence.

00:16:55.000 The letter said, Willis kicked off her sprawling investigation in early 2021, shortly after she took office.

00:17:15.000 And soon after the infamous January phone call became public in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find the votes necessary for Trump to win Georgia's electoral votes.

00:17:29.000 Investigators have at least three recordings of Trump pressuring Georgia officials, including a call that he made to the Georgia House Speaker to push for a special legislative session to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state.

00:17:43.000 There's also another recording of Trump's call to a top investigator with the Georgia Secretary of State's office in December 2020, while they were looking into quashed allegations of irregularities with signature matching in Cobb County in the Atlanta area.

00:18:01.000 So this is the second major probe that will likely see charges against Trump in.

00:18:07.000 The first we covered, I think it was either March or beginning of April here, which was the Manhattan District Attorney announcing charges against Donald Trump for this ledger error with his businesses in New York.

00:18:24.000 34 charges based on

00:18:27.000 False entries that a business has made and they say that that was about Stormy Daniels.

00:18:34.000 And now this is a totally separate indictment which there sounds like they're going to announce this summer which is the Fulton County District Attorney and as the article says this is about Trump pressuring the Secretary of State to find enough votes to flip the election in that state.

00:18:54.000 And so, just like with Manhattan, there's not a ton that we can say yet until we actually see the charges, which we don't have.

00:19:02.000 As the letter says, that'll be sometime in July or August that we'll actually see the indictment and have the charges filed and have all of that information unsealed.

00:19:15.000 So we really don't even know what the charges are going to be.

00:19:18.000 We just know the subject of the investigation.

00:19:22.000 But I talked a lot about this more during the Mar-a-Lago raid last August, which is that people don't even realize the scope of the lawfare against Trump.

00:19:33.000 People were overwhelmed by the Manhattan charges.

00:19:39.000 But there's at least five investigations going on.

00:19:43.000 There's Manhattan, there's Fulton County, there's January 6, there's confidential records, and then I believe there's a separate probe in New York about his business dealings as well.

00:19:54.000 And I may be wrong about that.

00:19:55.000 That may have been the one that...

00:19:57.000 I don't know.

00:20:14.000 Most often is not even to get somebody in jail.

00:20:18.000 It's not to win to get the person convicted.

00:20:21.000 It's not to win damages.

00:20:23.000 Most often the point of lawfare is to tie somebody up for a long period of time in very tedious legal proceedings.

00:20:34.000 It is supposed to imperil them in legal jeopardy so that if they don't get caught up in filings and paperwork

00:20:41.000 That they will be in peril, they might go to jail or pay lots of money, and it's meant to be very costly.

00:20:48.000 And so when people saw the charges unveiled in Manhattan, a lot of people said that the charges were ridiculous.

00:20:55.000 And they are!

00:20:56.000 We talked in great detail about them a couple weeks ago, that he's got 34 felony charges, and with the particularities of New York law,

00:21:08.000 The crime that he's being charged for should not be a felony.

00:21:11.000 It really should be a misdemeanor.

00:21:13.000 As to how it became a felony, it requires some secondary charge, a secondary crime which was never revealed and which there probably is not a strong basis for.

00:21:25.000 And a lot of people based on that said, well, these charges will go nowhere.

00:21:30.000 Maybe they'll get a sympathetic jury.

00:21:32.000 Maybe they'll get a sympathetic judge.

00:21:36.000 Who is going to be more lenient, even though the charges are very weak.

00:21:41.000 But nevertheless, there just isn't anything there.

00:21:44.000 And even many of the left-wing legal analysts, even many of the left-wing people in the media agreed with that.

00:21:51.000 But that's not the point.

00:21:53.000 And that's not the only one.

00:21:55.000 Because there's going to be like five separate series of charges against Trump.

00:22:01.000 Not five charges, five categories of charges.

00:22:05.000 He's got 34 felonies in New York.

00:22:08.000 He'll, I'm sure, have at least several charges in Fulton County.

00:22:14.000 They talked about three federal charges for the classified information in Mar-a-Lago.

00:22:20.000 There'll be a number of charges in connection with January 6th if the DOJ decides to charge.

00:22:26.000 And there may be, again, other things and other civil litigation too.

00:22:31.000 So you're talking about dozens

00:22:34.000 Like, several dozens, many dozens of charges, in many jurisdictions, in New York, in Georgia, in Washington DC.

00:22:43.000 And that means lawyers, that means lots of lawyers, that means teams of lawyers, firms.

00:22:49.000 And you'll need lawyers in every jurisdiction, and you'll need specialists in every type of law, because it's gonna be different kinds of law.

00:22:58.000 And that means trials, that means hearings, that means that instead of Trump going out there and campaigning,

00:23:04.000 And if there are any mistakes, if there's anything that is missed, if there's anything that isn't handled properly, then it's going to be obstruction, it's going to be contempt, it's going to be even more.

00:23:27.000 And so that is the reality.

00:23:29.000 When people say weaponization of the legal system, I said the other day that it's fruitless to harp on that because people don't know what that means.

00:23:37.000 And I think that most people, even people that are hip, I think that most people don't really understand the scope of that.

00:23:45.000 This is what it means.

00:23:46.000 This is how that's damaging.

00:23:48.000 And this is how you can see it's part of this 10-year-long crusade against the president.

00:23:55.000 From 2015 or 2016 all the way through until today.

00:24:01.000 That was the point of the special counsel, that was the point of the first impeachment, the second impeachment.

00:24:06.000 It is meant to constrain his resources, his time, his energy, political capital, and ultimately he could go to jail.

00:24:18.000 That is still a very real possibility.

00:24:20.000 It's not to say that just because that isn't necessarily what they're banking on, that that isn't a possibility.

00:24:28.000 Just because, for example, in Manhattan, it's unlikely he'll go to jail for this, it doesn't mean that that isn't still a real possibility.

00:24:35.000 He's a private citizen.

00:24:37.000 And you know that a jury in Atlanta, or a jury in Manhattan, would love full of vaccinated liberals.

00:24:46.000 They would love nothing more than to sentence Donald Trump to jail time.

00:24:53.000 So it's in addition, it's an and, not an or.

00:24:56.000 It's not a lawfare that drains you and kills you or something that results in jail time.

00:25:03.000 It's an and.

00:25:05.000 It's all the tedium.

00:25:07.000 All of that noise in addition to the very real risk that he will have to pay a massive fine or that he will go to jail.

00:25:16.000 Just look at Alex Jones.

00:25:18.000 It's the same thing.

00:25:19.000 Alex Jones has been involved in proceedings with the Sandy Hook parents for like nearly a decade.

00:25:27.000 And not only is it doing all those aforementioned things which is it's extremely costly he has to pay a fortune of lawyers and it's also tedious he has to fly to depositions and go to hearings but also when all was said and done like we saw the result last year he has to pony up a billion dollars.

00:25:46.000 Now he'll likely not have to pay all of that but he's gonna have to pay a significant sum at some point and he's already paid that much in lawyer fees

00:25:56.000 And there's going to be yet even more lawsuits and proceedings going on, probably in perpetuity, into the future.

00:26:06.000 And this is what they're doing against everybody.

00:26:09.000 And all that is, is total political warfare.

00:26:12.000 That's what that means.

00:26:14.000 That when they go for these guys like, I would even include Madison Cawthorn in this,

00:26:19.000 When they go for guys like Alex Jones, James O'Keefe, Madison Cawthorn, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, every case is a little bit different.

00:26:30.000 In every case, they're applying a little bit of a different thing.

00:26:33.000 But in every case, it is a total warfare.

00:26:36.000 They look into every, or me for example, or Anglin, they look into every thing

00:26:43.000 That they can use against a person.

00:26:46.000 If that is an unflattering story in the media, if that is something they, if they can find a claimant to sue a person, we talked about that with Alex Jones, they found claimants.

00:26:59.000 I'm sure SPLC, ADL, Soros types, they've been just looking for a claimant to bankroll, to bring down the Infowars empire forever.

00:27:09.000 How do we get this guy off the air?

00:27:11.000 Nothing we could do to him.

00:27:13.000 So they look for a claimant.

00:27:14.000 They look for somebody that has, not even something that could win, but something that will get in front of a jury, in front of a judge, and they're gonna pour money into it.

00:27:26.000 And it's about looking for any vector of attack possible to ruin a human being.

00:27:32.000 Because it's not just about outcomes.

00:27:34.000 People think in terms of, well, maybe Trump won't go to jail.

00:27:38.000 But he's a human being.

00:27:40.000 And same with Alex, and same with Tucker,

00:27:43.000 And people that have this dagger hanging over their head of going to jail, of lawyers, legal fees, that kind of peril all the time, it destroys a human being.

00:27:55.000 And that's what drives a person like Alex Jones to have, and he's publicly admitted this, a little bit of a drinking issue.

00:28:01.000 I don't say that in a negative way.

00:28:03.000 I say this is a human being with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

00:28:08.000 And he's got a family, and the weight of the world is on his family as well, and on his business.

00:28:14.000 And you do that for decades, and eventually it takes a toll.

00:28:18.000 I don't say that in any kind of disrespectful way.

00:28:21.000 I mean, they're in the business of destroying people.

00:28:25.000 People like Tucker Carlson.

00:28:27.000 I would even say people like Matt Walsh.

00:28:28.000 They go after his family, they hack his phone.

00:28:30.000 Do you know how traumatic that is, probably?

00:28:33.000 For somebody to access, in Matt Walsh's case, 20 years worth of emails?

00:28:37.000 I don't like the guy, but that's horrible.

00:28:41.000 But these are the kinds of things they visit upon anybody that is leading an organized opposition against the status quo.

00:28:50.000 And those are the key words.

00:28:51.000 Organized opposition.

00:28:54.000 Anybody that's rallying people to take action.

00:28:58.000 Anybody that is influential.

00:29:01.000 Anybody that is independent.

00:29:03.000 Truly independent.

00:29:05.000 They're in the business of destroying them as a person.

00:29:08.000 And that's where it goes beyond, we talked about with Tucker earlier, he gave this very generic take about how they're coming for free speech or whatever.

00:29:19.000 It's not about free speech.

00:29:21.000 Actually, Tucker had it right, I shouldn't say that.

00:29:22.000 He said something like, they're turning from persuasion to force.

00:29:27.000 And that actually is apropos.

00:29:30.000 Because it's not about freedom.

00:29:32.000 It's about a very particular conflict.

00:29:36.000 Which is us versus them.

00:29:38.000 The status quo versus this insurgent political force.

00:29:42.000 This idea that it's about freedom or something generic, it's about everybody universally having a particular civil right like being on Twitter or being on TV, it's not about that.

00:29:57.000 It's not about a universally applied standard.

00:29:59.000 It's about a particular conflict between particular organized political groups.

00:30:05.000 And it's about, one, using the law and using everything

00:30:10.000 To try to physically destroy the leaders, the people that are leading the other side.

00:30:17.000 And this gets into the idea that it's about people, not ideas.

00:30:23.000 Fundamentally, ideas are great, and ideas captivate people, and of course

00:30:32.000 In a very general sense, we are talking about things that are conceptual, like justice, or fairness, or morality, or things of that nature.

00:30:44.000 But a lot of the discussion about figures like myself, or Trump, or others, is that

00:30:52.000 We're not loyal to that man.

00:30:55.000 It's not about Trump.

00:30:56.000 It's about the ideas.

00:30:58.000 It's not about Americans or the American land.

00:31:02.000 It's about the American creed.

00:31:03.000 It's about the American ideas.

00:31:05.000 It's not about the leader of the movement.

00:31:07.000 It's about the ideals that the leader represents.

00:31:11.000 And I would say that when you look at what's happening here, that way of thinking is absolutely disproven.

00:31:19.000 Because, and I've said this before on the show, ideas don't take over a nation.

00:31:24.000 Ideas don't enforce the laws or make the laws.

00:31:28.000 People make the laws.

00:31:29.000 People enforce the laws.

00:31:31.000 People make decisions.

00:31:33.000 People act.

00:31:35.000 Only people can make a willful decision to do a thing or to make the right decision or the wrong decision based on a value system or based on a concept.

00:31:48.000 And we have a situation now, it's not that the ideas control the country, it's that very corrupt people control the country.

00:31:57.000 And the problem is that when a person with the right ideas stands against them, those people are destroyed.

00:32:04.000 And they're destroyed in the way that only a person can be destroyed.

00:32:10.000 They don't destroy their idea by disproving it or arguing against it or invalidating it.

00:32:15.000 They destroy the person by putting pressure on the person, on their physical person.

00:32:21.000 They induce physical stress by attacking their family or their money.

00:32:27.000 They induce physical danger by exposing their address or where they live so that people will harm that person and prevent them from acting anymore.

00:32:37.000 It's a war between people.

00:32:40.000 And we know this is true on a deep level because that's what our religion is about.

00:32:44.000 Our religion isn't about a law.

00:32:46.000 It's about a man.

00:32:50.000 And there is a connection there.

00:32:53.000 You hear a lot of these guys like Jordan Peterson.

00:32:55.000 They say that Jesus and our current spiritual battle is really just about ideas.

00:33:02.000 That Jesus was an archetype and he conveyed a moral code.

00:33:08.000 And it's true that he represents an archetype.

00:33:10.000 He's symbolic.

00:33:11.000 And it's true that he conveyed a moral code.

00:33:15.000 But he was also a man and he made it clear that it was about him as a guy.

00:33:20.000 That he was a real guy.

00:33:22.000 And he was a real God, and he did really die, and he did really rise from the dead, and it was about a physical and real communion with him as a person that saved a person.

00:33:32.000 Not simply their adherence to a ritual or an adherence to a law, but an intimate personal relationship with a person of the Trinity, with a person in God.

00:33:46.000 And so, there's something that's, there's a very deep

00:33:51.000 And all of this is to say that when you look at what happens to Trump or Tucker or Alex Jones or Madison Cawthorn or Matt Walsh or Andrew Anglin or me, you have to realize that this is a spiritual battle, but we are the soldiers in it.

00:34:10.000 The people are the soldiers in it.

00:34:13.000 We're the only ones that can fight the spiritual battle.

00:34:16.000 We're the only ones that can win the spiritual battle with God, obviously.

00:34:21.000 But it is a consequence, necessarily, that we will suffer for it, and we will die for it, and be humiliated by it, and be attacked for it, and all those things.

00:34:34.000 And, yes, we will also fall short, and we will be made hypocrites, sometimes, of our own actions, because we're all sinners.

00:34:41.000 But fundamentally, that is the nature of our struggle.

00:34:44.000 Good people, people doing the right thing, versus people that are doing the wrong thing.

00:34:49.000 It's about people and their decisions and the trials and tribulations that they face in their lives.

00:34:56.000 That's what this spiritual political struggle is really about.

00:35:01.000 So people ought to meditate very deeply on this when they freely criticize a figure like a Trump.

00:35:07.000 I would say even for a Tucker, maybe I'm a little hard on Tucker.

00:35:10.000 Although I don't know what he's really suffering to be honest.

00:35:13.000 But I'll extend a little bit of charity and say maybe I'm a little hard even on a guy like Tucker.

00:35:21.000 Because

00:35:24.000 Nobody is gonna fight these battles for us other than us.

00:35:28.000 And there are people that answer the call, and they suffer immensely for it, and you see that.

00:35:33.000 And so when I hear this talk like, hey, people gotta think about their real lives, and hey, don't you wanna have a family?

00:35:39.000 And maybe it's just not smart to go out there and take any shots.

00:35:43.000 Well, who's gonna do it then?

00:35:46.000 If everybody is too above it all and too clever and they want to keep their hands clean, because they don't want to get in there and make hard decisions, who's going to go and fight?

00:35:57.000 Who's going to be the front line?

00:35:58.000 Who's going to be the rear guard?

00:36:00.000 Who's going to be fighting the spiritual battle for us?

00:36:03.000 Because the enemy shows up every day.

00:36:07.000 So, that's what I have to say about Trump.

00:36:09.000 It's horrible what they're doing to him.

00:36:11.000 And I'm a little hard on him, but I'm critical.

00:36:13.000 I mean, I don't think I'm unfair.

00:36:15.000 I think I'm critical.

00:36:17.000 But they are putting the screws in this man.

00:36:19.000 And don't think for a second that just because he's old and a billionaire and powerful and all this, that it doesn't affect him as a guy.

00:36:27.000 It does.

00:36:28.000 He has just been strengthened.

00:36:31.000 And he's been elevated and held up.

00:36:35.000 And we should pray that other people be held up in the same way and be strong enough to take it like he has because he's the shining example.

00:36:43.000 And they're gonna keep going.

00:36:46.000 So that's the Fulton County story.

00:36:49.000 I want to move on.

00:36:49.000 I want to get into our Disney lawsuit story.

00:36:57.000 Somebody else texted me.

00:36:58.000 That's so funny.

00:37:02.000 So hilarious, I get the joke.

00:37:05.000 But anyway, we're gonna move on into our featured story here, which is about Disney.

00:37:12.000 And this is another one which is... I don't love this story.

00:37:16.000 I mean, I've talked about it a lot on the show in a very cynical way before, because I don't like DeSantis.

00:37:22.000 But our feature story tonight is about this lawsuit.

00:37:26.000 The Disney company is now suing the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for unfair treatment.

00:37:31.000 They say that he's retaliating against the company for their political viewpoint, for their political activism.

00:37:40.000 And this all comes from that Don't Say Gay bill from a year ago.

00:37:47.000 Where if you remember the Florida state legislature passed a bill that said that they couldn't teach in public schools about sex orientation or gender identity until the fourth grade.

00:37:59.000 And Disney was a company very activist and very vocal against the bill.

00:38:05.000 And DeSantis and the Republican regime in Florida retaliated by trying to remove some special provisions that apply to the Disney Company in Florida because they provide so many jobs and they basically built the city of Orlando.

00:38:20.000 And so there's been this ongoing lawfare feud between the two parties for a long time.

00:38:25.000 I was very critical of the bill itself because while it's certainly a step in the right direction, as I've said many times,

00:38:33.000 It almost seems to concede the issue by only moderating it.

00:38:39.000 If you're going out there and saying that you can talk about gay and trans in the classroom, just not until a child turns 8, are you really fighting gay and trans, or are you just setting a reasonable limitation on it?

00:38:53.000 And thereby allowing it.

00:38:54.000 By circumscribing a line around which it is acceptable, you're just making it acceptable in society.

00:39:02.000 You're not really pushing it out.

00:39:06.000 You're welcoming it in, just under certain regulations and expectations, which is still a concession.

00:39:14.000 So that's been my take on it so far, but

00:39:18.000 As this battle rages on, I have something new to say about it.

00:39:22.000 And first, I'll read the story to bring you up to speed.

00:39:27.000 It says, quote, Disney has accused Governor Ron DeSantis of organizing a campaign of government retaliation in a lawsuit.

00:39:34.000 The two sides have been fighting since Disney criticized the Don't Say Gay bill.

00:39:39.000 The lawsuit came after state officials voided a development deal involving the firm's Florida theme park.

00:39:46.000 Disney said DeSantis' steps to assert control over its operations threatened its business and violated its constitutional rights.

00:39:53.000 It asked the court to undo DeSantis' moves.

00:39:57.000 The company said, quote, Disney regrets it has come to this but having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution, the company is left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its cast members, guests, local development partners from a relentless campaign of government weaponization against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with state officials.

00:40:19.000 DeSantis has previously cast the state's move as efforts to remove special perks for a company that no longer works in the public interest.

00:40:28.000 He said the state would not bend a knee to woke executives and his communications director said we are unaware of any legal right a company has to operate its own government or maintain special privileges not held by other businesses in the state.

00:40:44.000 Florida lawmakers voted to restructure the special district that had been created 50 years ago to oversee development of the land around Disney World.

00:40:52.000 The move gave DeSantis the power to appoint members to the district's governing board, removing the authority from landowners in the district, of which Disney is by far the biggest landowner.

00:41:04.000 Before the new board was installed, Disney reached a last-minute deal outlining the scope of development in the district and giving Disney the right to review any changes to properties within the limits.

00:41:13.000 DeSantis said that Disney tried to pull a fast one and announced plans for government investigations and other actions.

00:41:20.000 He referred to a series of possibilities, including new taxes tolls and opening a state prison near the parks.

00:41:27.000 Disney CEO Bob Iger, who is Jewish,

00:41:31.000 Called DeSantis' fight with the company anti-business and anti-Florida.

00:41:35.000 In the lawsuit, the company said it planned to invest $17 billion at Disney World over the next decade, noting that development and investment of this magnitude cannot effectively take place when it can be nullified or undermined at the whim of new political leadership.

00:41:53.000 And it goes on like this.

00:41:55.000 The details are really unimportant.

00:41:57.000 But basically, DeSantis starts this bill in the legislature.

00:42:01.000 Disney fights it.

00:42:03.000 DeSantis tries to take control over their special board.

00:42:07.000 And Disney tries to get a last minute deal with the pre-existing board before the new board comes into power.

00:42:14.000 DeSantis says that they'll review that deal and that they're considering retaliating for that.

00:42:20.000 Now Disney is suing DeSantis for the retaliation.

00:42:24.000 And Disney may win.

00:42:26.000 The particulars though are not important.

00:42:29.000 What matters is that this is a clash between the public representing the public interest versus the private which purports to represent the public interest.

00:42:41.000 And you've got an extremely powerful company

00:42:44.000 The Disney Company, which is an extremely rich company with a very high market capitalization, very powerful because of the business that they're in, which is media.

00:42:55.000 So they're a lovable brand with brand recognition and brand loyalty.

00:43:02.000 They're also a media company, so they influence people.

00:43:05.000 There's a very intimate relationship people have with it, and they're very rich.

00:43:10.000 So it's an extremely powerful company, of course run by Jews, and pushing a very progressive social agenda.

00:43:17.000 Disney has gotten very liberal in recent years, in a way that I didn't even think would happen, to tell you the truth.

00:43:25.000 I suspected it would go this way, but I just never could quite believe it, because it always seemed that Disney was a little behind.

00:43:32.000 It was always behind the ball on a lot of the diversity and political correctness and even the gay and lesbian stuff didn't begin to penetrate Disney until just about five or six years ago, which is relatively recent considering the gay rights stuff really kicked up 10-15 years ago.

00:43:53.000 But they're very progressive and very liberal now.

00:43:56.000 They're going up against a state government with DeSantis, which is probably, although I don't like DeSantis, it's probably the most right-wing state government in the country.

00:44:07.000 And there's a reason for that.

00:44:08.000 DeSantis is trying to appeal to a right-wing base because he's got national presidential ambitions.

00:44:14.000 Whatever the motive, he's very activist and very conservative.

00:44:18.000 And so you've got a really good dialectic here, really good

00:44:22.000 Example of this contrast between a conservative government ruling a conservative state, DeSantis has this mandate won by 20 points in the last cycle, versus a very powerful, very beloved media company pushing a progressive agenda.

00:44:38.000 And they're fighting it out in the political realm.

00:44:42.000 The state is using the law and the legislature and these enforcement actions and the power of taxing and jurisdiction.

00:44:49.000 And the company is using the power of its money and also using lawfare, using the power of the civic rights, civil rights afforded to private entities, private business.

00:45:03.000 And this is something which I think is good and should define the political landscape in America, which is the question of who rules.

00:45:13.000 Because in other countries we know very clearly who rules, like in Russia.

00:45:18.000 In Russia there are billionaires, there are what you would call oligarchs.

00:45:22.000 You have very big, very rich, very powerful countries, companies.

00:45:27.000 Excuse me.

00:45:28.000 They do exist in a somewhat market economy, even if they have monopoly protections from the government, and you have the state.

00:45:38.000 But it is very clear and unambiguous that the oligarchs and the businesses, no matter how powerful, no matter how rich, no matter how important in Russia, they answer to Putin.

00:45:49.000 And I think they know that Putin can kill them.

00:45:52.000 I believe the billionaires and the oligarchs in Russia know that if they step out of line, Putin will literally shoot them himself.

00:46:02.000 I'm not exaggerating.

00:46:03.000 I mean, he will pull the trigger on the gun that will shoot their heads.

00:46:07.000 They know that.

00:46:09.000 And the same is true in China.

00:46:11.000 There was a story a year or two ago which was

00:46:14.000 Talked about for the same reason.

00:46:16.000 In China, the billionaire Jack Ma, who is the founder of Alibaba, which is one of the biggest companies in the world, they say it's the Chinese equivalent of Amazon.

00:46:26.000 There was a time when Jack Ma went missing for months and they said that he was being detained by the Chinese government because purportedly he went against the Chinese interest.

00:46:38.000 And at the time people said it's inconceivable that an American billionaire of comparable status like a Jeff Bezos would be ever detained by the American government without a charge, without an explanation, but because they went against the state.

00:46:53.000 It's inconceivable.

00:46:55.000 But it raised an important question.

00:46:58.000 What should it be like in America?

00:47:01.000 Is it a good thing that the billionaires do not fear the government?

00:47:05.000 Is it a good thing that the billionaires are not beholden to the state?

00:47:10.000 And what is the relationship between the Jack Ma analog in America or the oligarch analog in America?

00:47:18.000 What is their relationship with the state?

00:47:20.000 If there is a clear cut-and-dry relationship in Russia and China that the private sector answers to the public interest represented by the state, then what is the arrangement in America if it's not like that?

00:47:32.000 Maybe we don't want a system where the president is killing billionaires or the state is detaining billionaires without charges.

00:47:39.000 I think that that is probably excessive.

00:47:43.000 And that is certainly the Eastern climate, which is far more collectivist and far more tyrannical than historically the West is.

00:47:50.000 I recognize that.

00:47:51.000 But what is the proper relationship between the private sector and the state?

00:47:55.000 Because this is something we talk about a lot on the show.

00:48:00.000 We understand that the state is sovereign, or rather the people are sovereign, but they delegate authority to the state through the Constitution.

00:48:08.000 And insofar as the representatives exercise the sovereign authority of the people, if they are elected, and if they receive campaign contributions, and if they rely on media and money to win their elections, and to maintain their position in office, and to become the president, or to receive certain political appointments, or even for sponsorship on various initiatives,

00:48:36.000 Then could it be said then that the money and the media are ultimately upstream from the government?

00:48:43.000 Could it be said that if the representatives exercise the sovereign power and the representatives are beholden to or dependent on money and media, then it's really money and media that are exercising the sovereign power but with extra steps?

00:48:57.000 And the distinction is that the money and the media do not have the same accountability that the government does.

00:49:03.000 They cannot be replaced by election.

00:49:05.000 There is no oversight over them.

00:49:08.000 Nothing that is routine or formal.

00:49:10.000 They could be called in by a committee, but there's no real process other than that.

00:49:18.000 And if you've got unaccountable money and media running the country, then you've got the same tyrannical setup as you do in China or Russia, but instead it's by people that we don't know who they are.

00:49:32.000 They may not be loyal to America.

00:49:33.000 There's no accountability.

00:49:35.000 There's no oversight.

00:49:35.000 We don't know their names.

00:49:37.000 It introduces all these types of problems.

00:49:40.000 And so in a state like Florida, and here's where this is playing out,

00:49:44.000 Finally, you've got a governor that says, hey, this is a conservative state.

00:49:50.000 This is a conservative society that we have here in Florida.

00:49:54.000 They elected me with a 20-point majority based on my opposition to this woke culture that's being produced.

00:50:01.000 You fought against it, and now we're going to punish you.

00:50:05.000 Because that's not how people in Florida want their society to be.

00:50:09.000 And who are you, a multinational firm that does its business in China and Europe and the Middle East and Africa and South America and California, who are you to spend your billions of dollars that you make everywhere in jurisdictions across America and across the world to fight against the democratically sovereign elected government of Florida?

00:50:31.000 And in this case, the government of Florida has a unique advantage because Disney has such a huge investment, such a strong capital investment in Florida with Disney World.

00:50:41.000 They can't pick up Disney World and move it somewhere else like they could take the NCAA championship out of Indiana like they threatened to back when they passed a similar bill many years ago or in South Carolina when they did something similar.

00:50:56.000 They have to stay there.

00:50:57.000 It's buildings.

00:50:59.000 It's huge rides.

00:51:01.000 It's castles.

00:51:02.000 It's a theme park.

00:51:04.000 So here's a rare instance where the private sector, no matter how rich or multinational or operating in so many jurisdictions, it's stuck.

00:51:14.000 And it has this capital investment that can be held hostage by the governor of Florida.

00:51:19.000 And the governor says, even if Disney fights me, I'm still going to exercise the will of the people.

00:51:26.000 And I'm gonna punish Disney for daring to oppose.

00:51:30.000 And it looks like this is a rare instance where there's a success story because there's been many examples of this over the years.

00:51:37.000 There was an example in South Dakota when Kirstie Noem tried to pass a bill.

00:51:43.000 I forget the particulars.

00:51:45.000 But she tried to pass a bill, I think about transgender bathrooms or something to this effect.

00:51:50.000 And they tried to organize a giant boycott.

00:51:53.000 The Chamber of Commerce organized a boycott of investment into the state.

00:51:58.000 And you understand that the state needs, and particularly the politicians, they need the Chamber of Commerce.

00:52:04.000 Because that's where they get their tax revenue to fund their operations and their projects.

00:52:08.000 That's where they get the campaign money to win their elections.

00:52:11.000 The people rely on that investment for their jobs.

00:52:15.000 And so to take the investment out of South Dakota is to kill South Dakota.

00:52:20.000 So they had to go with what the corporation said about the social issues, which should be the jurisdiction of the voter and therefore the government.

00:52:30.000 They did a similar thing in Indiana, like I said, many years ago.

00:52:34.000 You remember the governor there

00:52:37.000 Who is, I believe at that time, Mike Pence, passed a bill for religious freedom.

00:52:43.000 And NASCAR tried to boycott, and the NCAA tried to boycott.

00:52:47.000 Same thing happened in South Carolina.

00:52:49.000 And this has played out all across many conservative state jurisdictions over the last two decades where states have tried

00:52:57.000 We're good to go.

00:53:18.000 The Wall Street Stock Exchange, they get thwarted by LA, they get thwarted by multinationals, by traders that trade and trader, free trade and traders, people that do business all across America, people that do business all across North America, or in some cases across the Atlantic or Pacific.

00:53:39.000 And so you've got this effect where the people have been robbed of their sovereignty because they're being held hostage by the money.

00:53:47.000 The money says, well actually, we're going to tell you how it goes.

00:53:52.000 We're a bunch of rich liberals from the capitals.

00:53:54.000 We're rich liberals that are on the coastal cities and doing business in foreign countries, and we have our progressive ideas.

00:54:02.000 And if you are not okay with that, then we're going to take your jobs, we're going to take your tax revenue, we're going to take your campaign contributions, and we'll kill your state.

00:54:12.000 And the state is, of course, they have nothing that they can say.

00:54:16.000 They're absolutely beholden, then, to the money.

00:54:19.000 The money's being held hostage, so they answer to the money.

00:54:24.000 And you could say then that in America, it's not just not like China or Russia, it's the opposite.

00:54:30.000 That instead of Jack Ma being detained by the government, or an oligarch being killed by the president, you have the governor being detained by Disney!

00:54:40.000 You have the governor being executed by Bob Iger!

00:54:45.000 And which would you prefer?

00:54:46.000 Would you prefer that the governor, who is elected every four years, who can be impeached,

00:54:52.000 Who there's a media that looks into his affairs that is considered in the public interest that asked to answer to a division of powers with the legislature and the courts.

00:55:01.000 Would you prefer that they have the final say and they determine what goes on or would you prefer that it's some business?

00:55:08.000 Some business that may not even be headquartered in the state or even in the country and does maybe a large percentage of its business in China or in Mexico and gives their jobs to those countries.

00:55:22.000 I think any sensible person would say it's got to be the country, it's got to be the nation.

00:55:28.000 And so, a lot of conservatives are saying against DeSantis that this is anti-business and this is against small government.

00:55:37.000 So, does small government and pro-business and the free market mean that billionaires get to control our country?

00:55:44.000 Billionaires get to control the texture of life and the climate of our society?

00:55:51.000 Which is to say that if we as a society, like Florida as a society, if the Florida society says, we don't want woke, we don't want trannies, we don't want gay propaganda, we don't want all this trash in our state, we don't want crime, that's why we moved here,

00:56:09.000 They have a right to make it that way.

00:56:12.000 Who is some company to say, no, the people of the world voted, the people of the boardroom in New York, the Jews in New York voted, and actually you're going to teach your kids about homosexuality and anal sex in second grade.

00:56:27.000 I would prefer that the government, I would prefer to live in a world where the government can say no.

00:56:33.000 I prefer to live in a world where the government has the power and the political will to say no.

00:56:41.000 And sometimes it's not going to work out.

00:56:43.000 Sometimes the government will go against what we like.

00:56:46.000 Hello, we're kind of living in that!

00:56:49.000 But I prefer to live in a world where, as an institution, the government has final say.

00:56:55.000 State or the federal government, not these private businesses.

00:57:01.000 This idea of, we'll just take our business and go somewhere else, is anti-patriotic.

00:57:08.000 It's anti-national.

00:57:10.000 The only people that can do that are aliens.

00:57:12.000 Think about that.

00:57:13.000 Because if you're in the state of Florida, and you're in the community, and you know the people you employ, and you're headquartered in Florida, and all the people that work there are from Florida,

00:57:25.000 And you would never think of saying, I'm going to fire everybody in the community and move to another state.

00:57:31.000 You could only say that if you had no loyalty to that place and didn't care about the people there.

00:57:37.000 That's the only way you could do it.

00:57:39.000 Where else would you take your business?

00:57:41.000 I'm going to pack up and go to New York.

00:57:42.000 I'm going to pack up and go to China.

00:57:44.000 We don't need you.

00:57:45.000 We don't need the people here.

00:57:47.000 They're expendable.

00:57:50.000 Only an alien can do that.

00:57:52.000 And here's the thing.

00:57:54.000 The state government of Florida is not alienated from the people of Florida.

00:57:58.000 But a giant multinational corporation investing billions?

00:58:02.000 They are alienated from the people of Florida.

00:58:05.000 The governor is elected by the people of Florida.

00:58:08.000 The governor is known to the people of Florida.

00:58:10.000 Same with the state legislators and the state senators and the state judges.

00:58:16.000 But some company that's being governed by executives in California, I mean they're aliens!

00:58:21.000 And so who should be deciding what goes on in public life in any jurisdiction?

00:58:26.000 It should be the people that are that jurisdiction.

00:58:30.000 It should be that society, that community.

00:58:34.000 So I support DeSantis and I support a national government doing that to our country.

00:58:41.000 I'm telling these corporations that are headquartered here like Google, or Meta, or, and those are the big five, Amazon, Microsoft, and who's the fifth?

00:58:55.000 Apple.

00:58:56.000 Telling those companies, hey, you do business in America, so you answer to Americans.

00:59:03.000 You don't answer to China, you don't answer to these other countries, and guess what?

00:59:07.000 If you think you can pack up and go somewhere else, we will throw you in jail.

00:59:11.000 If you try to move your company somewhere else, we will retaliate and punish you.

00:59:16.000 Because as a private entity doing business at that level, you still have a public responsibility.

00:59:22.000 Everybody has a public responsibility.

00:59:25.000 Because we all live in a society.

00:59:29.000 You employ people in America.

00:59:31.000 You were built up by American investment.

00:59:34.000 You sell your product to America.

00:59:36.000 So yes, you answer to America.

00:59:39.000 Not just your shareholders.

00:59:40.000 Not just your boardroom.

00:59:42.000 Not just your own conscience.

00:59:44.000 Yes, you are a public figure.

00:59:46.000 You have a role to play.

00:59:47.000 You have responsibility.

00:59:50.000 And the governor of a state should be able to say that, and ultimately the governor of America, the president, ought to be able to say that too.

00:59:58.000 And we should foster a climate like this.

01:00:00.000 It used to be like that.

01:00:03.000 There used to be a national disposition like this, but there isn't anymore.

01:00:08.000 In the last 40 years, all of that has gone away.

01:00:11.000 With the deregulation and a lot of legal precedent that's been built up,

01:00:16.000 Now you've got a moneyed media class that runs our country unopposed, and they feel no responsibility to our nation.

01:00:26.000 And those two things can't work at the same time.

01:00:32.000 So you need a president that's gonna get in there and this is what I said yesterday I love so much about the Trump announcement in 2016 when Trump announced his candidacy all the way back the first time it was in his first speech and it was Michael what's his name that did the 9-11 documentary you know I'm talking about the fat guy fat liberal

01:00:57.000 Come on, what's his name?

01:00:59.000 I can think of his face too.

01:01:00.000 Well anyway, but he talked about this as well.

01:01:03.000 Donald Trump in his announcement said that if Ford tried to open a new factory in Mexico,

01:01:10.000 He would call them up and say, you can do that, but I'll charge you a 35% tariff on every car that comes into America and every part and everything that you sell here.

01:01:21.000 And he said that if they try to call up and try to yank the chain with their lobbyist money, he said, I don't care.

01:01:27.000 I'm a self funder.

01:01:28.000 You're going to pay the 35% and he would force them to stay in America.

01:01:34.000 And it was this guy, again, a name escapes me right now.

01:01:36.000 It's on the tip of my tongue.

01:01:39.000 Come on, he made Fahrenheit 9-11.

01:01:40.000 You know what I'm talking about, famous liberal director.

01:01:44.000 He said in a live show, I think a month before the election, he said that Donald Trump said that.

01:01:50.000 How are you going to beat that?

01:01:52.000 That's actually awesome.

01:01:56.000 And that's the part of Trump that we all love and miss.

01:01:59.000 And to some extent, to the extent that we like DeSantis, that's what we like about DeSantis.

01:02:05.000 That's what nationalism looks like.

01:02:07.000 That's what patriotism looks like.

01:02:09.000 It's telling these giant companies, you're going to do what's best for America.

01:02:14.000 Not what's best for your bottom line.

01:02:17.000 And you get all these free market guys in there and they say, but then it's going to cost more, but if that happens then... Doesn't matter.

01:02:26.000 The companies here have responsibility to provide jobs.

01:02:30.000 Not just sell their stuff.

01:02:32.000 They have responsibility to provide jobs.

01:02:36.000 And they also have a responsibility to respect the society that they are in.

01:02:44.000 Like in the state of Florida.

01:02:46.000 If they don't want to get retaliated against, they shouldn't be participating in politics.

01:02:50.000 It's good to see the roles reversed.

01:02:52.000 Because for so long, a conservative state like South Dakota, which really has nothing going on, or a state like Indiana, same thing.

01:03:02.000 State of Florida has a ton of trade and commerce and they've got a booming population a great real estate market and great capital.

01:03:13.000 I mean that's a state that and it's a large state it's a large population with a large coastline.

01:03:21.000 They can flex their muscle a little bit and you gotta pick your battles but they can flex and they can say that they're gonna make their will happen against Disney.

01:03:30.000 It's refreshing to see that instead of South Carolina or Indiana or South Dakota getting their ass kicked by sports, by the NCAA and by the Chamber of Commerce.

01:03:41.000 That's how it should be!

01:03:45.000 So, I don't like DeSantis, but this is good stuff.

01:03:48.000 I like that.

01:03:48.000 And it's a shame that Trump and Nikki Haley are attacking him for this.

01:03:52.000 They should have been doing this when they were in office.

01:03:56.000 But instead, Nikki Haley was taking bribes from Boeing and Trump, he wasn't doing any of this.

01:04:05.000 So, that's that.

01:04:09.000 But I want to move on.

01:04:10.000 We'll get into our Super Chats here.

01:04:11.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

01:04:15.000 Let me get my water.

01:04:17.000 That's all I have for you.

01:04:20.000 But it's true.

01:04:28.000 Now people don't realize the extent to which money and media are holding us back because it's a conservative nation from

01:04:38.000 Nevada all the way through to the state of Maine, you've got a conservative electorate.

01:04:45.000 It's in California, Chicago, the New York mega metropolis, which is Newark and Boston and all that.

01:05:00.000 Aside from those places, the whole Pacific Coast, a lot of the East Coast,

01:05:06.000 And again, a few major cities.

01:05:08.000 It is a conservative nation.

01:05:10.000 It is mostly conservative states.

01:05:12.000 It's like 25, maybe 27 of the American states are conservative.

01:05:18.000 And the only reason some of them aren't is because of black people.

01:05:20.000 You know?

01:05:23.000 Like, Maryland.

01:05:27.000 Maryland's a conservative state other than Baltimore.

01:05:29.000 Virginia's a conservative state other than Nova.

01:05:33.000 So, you have a lot, a lot of conservative states that would be electing very conservative governments.

01:05:39.000 And most of the country would be extremely conservative if not for the pernicious influence of capital everywhere.

01:05:46.000 Which is, you can't avoid it.

01:05:49.000 And this is where it gets to, it's all or nothing.

01:05:53.000 Because the same is also true of the federal government.

01:05:57.000 A lot of the state governments are beholden to the federal government because they rely on the federal government

01:06:03.000 So you ask yourself why can't a state like Florida, why can't every state from Idaho to Florida become a fascist theocracy?

01:06:22.000 Capital and the federal government.

01:06:25.000 And the only way you get capital under control is if you get the federal government under control.

01:06:29.000 The only way you get federal government is by getting the federal government.

01:06:32.000 So it's all or nothing.

01:06:35.000 You got to take over the FedGov, reel in the private sector, and use the federal government to make these states more based.

01:06:43.000 And if we could do that one time, if we just get one, if we get Trump in there again as an example,

01:06:50.000 And if he fires 50,000 people and hires 50,000 Trump supporters...

01:06:55.000 And if he dispenses with term limits and rewrites the Constitution, then he can literally remake America.

01:07:02.000 Now, I'm not saying he'll be the guy that does it, but I'm saying that theoretically, America can be remade through the power of the federal government, and conservatives need to think that way.

01:07:12.000 Conservatives need to become rich, they need to become powerful, and then they need to take over the federal government and remake the nation using the wealth and power of the U.S.

01:07:23.000 government.

01:07:24.000 Anything short of that is just a joke.

01:07:26.000 Anything short of that is not serious.

01:07:29.000 When people say, like, we're just going to tell people about freedom.

01:07:33.000 Fuck you.

01:07:35.000 We're just going to tell people about freedom and live by example.

01:07:38.000 They're brainwashing your kids in school.

01:07:41.000 You don't even have a chance.

01:07:43.000 They're literally, they get your kids when they're five and they have your kids on their iPads for 10 hours a day if you look at the screen time.

01:07:55.000 And people are like, well, we'll just share the Austin Peterson Show on my Twitter account with 300 followers.

01:08:02.000 Okay.

01:08:03.000 So, that's worse than doing nothing because you're just wasting time.

01:08:09.000 You could just be living a happy life.

01:08:11.000 Instead, you're persisting in this charade.

01:08:15.000 So, anyway.

01:08:18.000 But I want to move on.

01:08:18.000 We'll get on into our Super Chats.

01:08:21.000 We'll see what you all have to say about this.

01:08:23.000 Let me take a look.

01:08:25.000 Let me take a look and get all this set up here.

01:08:30.000 Okay.

01:08:30.000 Let me lower this.

01:08:36.000 Alright.

01:08:39.000 Let's show some love and support for Ethan Ralph.

01:08:41.000 He's going through it right now.

01:08:43.000 Sad.

01:08:44.000 Poor Ralph.

01:08:44.000 Pray for Ralph going through a divorce.

01:08:47.000 That sucks.

01:08:48.000 What happened?

01:08:49.000 I thought they were... I thought they were happy together and I thought things were going well.

01:08:55.000 That's terrible.

01:08:56.000 Well, we're rooting for him.

01:08:58.000 Old Ethan Ralph, he can recover from this.

01:09:02.000 The Unknown Soldier sent $5.

01:09:05.000 Why do every single one of these factory-assembled conservative bimbos like Tomi Lahren or Ella Mauldin cake themselves and make up?

01:09:11.000 It's gross and fake-looking, opposite of conservative.

01:09:15.000 Well, hey listen, we like Ella, okay?

01:09:20.000 I don't really know anything about makeup.

01:09:22.000 I honestly can't really tell when girls are wearing makeup because I just don't.

01:09:27.000 I'm just like a little autistic like that.

01:09:29.000 I don't know.

01:09:31.000 But they shouldn't.

01:09:32.000 I don't like all the... I can tell when it's really caked on.

01:09:35.000 I don't like that look.

01:09:38.000 I don't think that makes a woman look better.

01:09:40.000 I think it makes a woman look gross.

01:09:41.000 Now, a woman needs a little bit of makeup.

01:09:44.000 I think.

01:09:44.000 I think you need a little makeup.

01:09:46.000 But...

01:09:50.000 But sometimes I see these women with it, and it's really over the top.

01:09:55.000 And it looks like if you touch a woman's face, like you're gonna take your hand off.

01:09:58.000 It's like you touched a wet paint sign, you know?

01:10:01.000 So I, yeah, I don't like that.

01:10:03.000 I'm opposed.

01:10:04.000 I don't, and I agree with you, it is anti-conservative to put too much makeup on.

01:10:08.000 The Unknown Soldier sent $3.

01:10:11.000 Just saw you got $555 from Big Tech in the last replay.

01:10:15.000 Damn, we all got worked by him.

01:10:18.000 A-Logs got worked the hardest though.

01:10:21.000 I love that.

01:10:22.000 A-Logs were giving him money.

01:10:24.000 Ultros gave him money, which by the way, he should refund those, I think.

01:10:28.000 Ultros gave him $100, which is a little... Victor Sharpe, the gay pedophile.

01:10:32.000 Victor Sharpe.

01:10:33.000 Victor Sharpe III, the gay pedophile.

01:10:36.000 He gave...

01:10:38.000 Big Tech 100 bucks.

01:10:39.000 So I think Big Tech should refund those if he wants to be consistent.

01:10:44.000 But isn't that so funny?

01:10:46.000 All these faggots gave him money and then he gave me 500 bucks.

01:10:49.000 He gave me all their money.

01:10:50.000 Like, thanks!

01:10:51.000 Thank you!

01:10:52.000 Thank you for the generous donation to America First.

01:10:55.000 I am your leader.

01:10:57.000 All the haters giving their money to America First.

01:10:59.000 Hey, I appreciate it.

01:11:02.000 Thank you very much.

01:11:04.000 Hand rubbing intensifies.

01:11:06.000 So yeah, that was masterfully played.

01:11:09.000 Hand knocked it.

01:11:20.000 Well, listen, it's not a competition.

01:11:22.000 Okay, I I don't care about the money.

01:11:25.000 All right, that that's really a joke So don't feel like you're don't do not feel pressure to give me lots of money.

01:11:31.000 Do not feel bad.

01:11:33.000 I Appreciate every super chat, even if it's well if it's three bucks, honestly, you can do a little better but not not you in particular three bucks is a little low, but you know, I

01:11:44.000 Five dollars ten bucks.

01:11:46.000 I appreciate all of it.

01:11:47.000 It's not you really shouldn't measure up like that I think that's a very bad way of looking at it You know You know how I am if somebody gives me a hundred bucks.

01:11:58.000 I'll shit on them just the same so it's it's really not about that and It's like the story in the Bible The rich man who gives a little bit versus the poor woman who gives her last shekel.

01:12:10.000 She gives her last coin That's how I think about it

01:12:26.000 Yeah, I saw that.

01:12:28.000 So he emailed us last year and was like, hey, can I get into APAC for free?

01:12:33.000 Can I get a booth?

01:12:34.000 And we were like, no, not interested.

01:12:36.000 And he was like, come on, please, please, can I speak at AFPAC?

01:12:40.000 Can I please get in?

01:12:41.000 And we said, like, no, not interested at all.

01:12:44.000 And then he shows up to the conference with a ticket and he tries to get some prostitute in without a ticket.

01:12:51.000 And we said, no, she can't get in without a ticket.

01:12:54.000 You could buy her a ticket at the door.

01:12:56.000 We'll capitulate on that.

01:12:58.000 By the way, people wonder why I am with Jewish people or something.

01:13:01.000 Imagine dealing with Jews your whole career and they're all like this.

01:13:23.000 And the cozy council keeps warning you about his powers.

01:13:26.000 Also, he choked his wife like Anakin did.

01:13:28.000 That's pretty good.

01:13:53.000 Yeah, Tenryo's... Tenryo shows up to Big Tech's office.

01:14:01.000 Under the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you're under arrest.

01:14:35.000 Ah, listen bud.

01:14:45.000 I'm not at liberty to talk about anything confidential, but I had a conversation with him today and he told me some of the stuff he's working on.

01:14:52.000 And, um, let's just say stay tuned.

01:14:57.000 Papa John, stay tuned, okay?

01:15:00.000 But yeah, I saw that and look, if you know, you know.

01:15:07.000 And if you don't know, you don't know.

01:15:08.000 But I'll just say this.

01:15:10.000 Stay tuned.

01:15:11.000 I did see that.

01:15:13.000 Spinefish sent $3.

01:15:15.000 You said that in the finals of Extemporaneous Speaking and Speech Team you made a joke which basically won you first place against a girl from Southern Illinois.

01:15:23.000 Do you remember what that joke was?

01:15:25.000 I do, I absolutely remember.

01:15:27.000 I was in, oh, was it Downers Grove South?

01:15:33.000 I think it was, or Downer Grove North?

01:15:36.000 I don't know which school it was, but it was like a big tournament.

01:15:39.000 It was an important tournament.

01:15:41.000 And I was in finals, and I didn't even think it was that funny, okay?

01:15:45.000 Honestly.

01:15:46.000 But I did an extemporaneous speech.

01:15:49.000 It was my final speech.

01:15:50.000 So, you do a few rounds, okay?

01:15:53.000 You do, um... How did it work?

01:15:57.000 I don't even remember.

01:15:58.000 I think it's only two.

01:16:00.000 So... So for my event, there's all different kinds of events at the speech tournament.

01:16:05.000 My event was extemporaneous, which means that I arrive at the tournament,

01:16:11.000 And all the people in the event, in the extemporaneous event, they go into the library and they pull out of a bag slips of paper.

01:16:20.000 And you pull three slips of paper and each slip of paper has a prompt on there.

01:16:24.000 It has a question.

01:16:26.000 It'll say like, you know, at that time some of the prompts were like, how is Boko Haram taking over West Africa?

01:16:36.000 Or it'd be something like,

01:16:38.000 Sometimes there'd be a very obscure one like, what do you think about the flooding in Pakistan?

01:16:42.000 Or something like that.

01:16:44.000 But so, you would go up to the front, you would pull three prompts, and I think you would take two of them, and you would write two speeches.

01:16:54.000 And here is what you were allowed to do.

01:16:56.000 You were allowed to bring, you couldn't use the internet, you couldn't use a computer, couldn't use your phone.

01:17:01.000 You had to bring a box of newspaper clippings.

01:17:04.000 You had to clip the newspaper yourself,

01:17:08.000 And so, in every speech, you had to write a, I think it was a 5 to 7 minute speech, 5 paragraphs, with 3 paragraphs in the middle, and each of the 3 paragraphs had to have 2 sources.

01:17:25.000 And in each of the sources, you needed the publication and the date.

01:17:31.000 So,

01:17:33.000 That's everything that went into it.

01:17:34.000 You had 45 minutes to prepare a 7 minute speech that you had to deliver completely from memory that you wrote on the spot

01:17:45.000 Answering a prompt that was random with newspaper clippings that you had clipped the week before, and you needed six sources, and you needed to remember the date and the publication.

01:17:55.000 So you couldn't just say, you know, I heard the other day this, that, and the other.

01:17:59.000 You had to say, according to the New York Times on April 6, 2013, ISIS is the size of New Jersey.

01:18:07.000 Something like that.

01:18:08.000 Six of those!

01:18:09.000 You had to memorize all those.

01:18:11.000 And so,

01:18:14.000 So you would go in, you would deliver your speech, and then you would, in a classroom, and you would sit down in the classroom, and the next guy would come in and give a speech, and sit down, and the next guy would come in, and then once everybody in your room, it was like five or six people in a room, would give their speech, then you did that another time, there were two rounds, and then they had a finals round, and in the finalist round, they took all the top scorers in the first two rounds, and they put them back in the library,

01:18:41.000 You pulled three more prompts and you prepared a speech for finals, okay?

01:18:45.000 So I'm setting the stage.

01:18:46.000 So I'm at one of the best tournaments and I got some prompt, I think it was about minimum wage, okay?

01:18:53.000 And I was like, booyah, minimum wage?

01:18:56.000 I have the entire Free to Choose and Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman, I have that memorized.

01:19:02.000 I have Basic Economics and Facts and Fallacies by Thomas Sowell memorized.

01:19:07.000 Minimum wage?

01:19:08.000 Easy.

01:19:09.000 So,

01:19:11.000 I get the minimum wage prompt and I just stack it.

01:19:15.000 I mean I just stack it.

01:19:16.000 I raped this speech.

01:19:18.000 I took this speech and I beat the shit out of it and then I raped it.

01:19:22.000 And I went in there and in my intro... So what they always want you to do for these speeches is they want you to have a hook.

01:19:30.000 And here's the thing.

01:19:32.000 A lot of these kids were total faggots, okay?

01:19:35.000 They would come in there, and their style would be like, in the ancient Greek play of Ajax, Ajax was like this, and so-and-so didn't like that very much, understandably, and it was very, like, all the motions are very choreographed, but here's what they would do.

01:19:54.000 They would practice and practice and practice every day, all week, and they would rehearse the same intros, the same conclusions.

01:20:05.000 They would basically cheat by pre-writing their speeches.

01:20:09.000 And then whatever topic they got, they would just fit it into their pre-written speech.

01:20:15.000 So they already had like five pre-written intros with very corny, very canned, pre-written hooks.

01:20:23.000 And it was always about Greek mythology or something inoffensive.

01:20:27.000 One guy sang.

01:20:29.000 One guy.

01:20:30.000 There was this one guy who three weeks in a row, it was me and him that wound up in finals.

01:20:36.000 Three weeks in a row.

01:20:38.000 We wound up in finals and I fucking beat him!

01:20:41.000 Every week!

01:20:42.000 I was first, he was second, three weeks in a row.

01:20:45.000 And every week he got more desperate.

01:20:48.000 The first speech sucked.

01:20:50.000 The second speech, he hammed it up a little bit.

01:20:52.000 The third one, he tried to sing in his intro.

01:20:55.000 And I'm literally sitting there at my desk and I'm looking at the judge like... Now he's singing?

01:21:02.000 This idiot?

01:21:03.000 Oh, they're singing now?

01:21:05.000 What will these people, what will these amateurs try next?

01:21:08.000 You know, I remember looking around like singing, desperate, and I fucking kicked his ass a third week in a row.

01:21:16.000 And it was awesome because in the awards ceremony

01:21:21.000 They would say, okay, we're gonna bring up the finalists from Extemporaneous, and all the finalists would go up, and they would call in descending order, in seventh place, from this school, in sixth place, and three weeks in a row, it was me and him standing next to each other, and they would say, in second place, from wherever, this guy.

01:21:40.000 And then it would be me!

01:21:41.000 Then it would be me chillin' there and they'd say, and from Lyons Township, in first place!

01:21:47.000 And I would come up, grab my thing, and I didn't even care about speech team, I didn't even try.

01:21:54.000 I never practiced, I didn't clip anything, I would show up late, I'd be like, I would half-ass it, and then I would go to these tournaments and I'd just get first place every time, because I was the best.

01:22:06.000 And I wouldn't even play by the rules, all these guys would go in there and say,

01:22:11.000 In the Greek play, um, and Heraclitus said something quite funny, huh?

01:22:18.000 And I would go in there and I'd be like, alright, listen you, listen motherfuckers, this is a speech, okay?

01:22:24.000 And anyway, now I did give a really corny, so for this speech I did give kind of a corny intro.

01:22:29.000 I came in there and I said something like, I said, in the words of the Wu-Tang Clan, cash rules everything around me.

01:22:37.000 Gotta get the cream, dollar dollar bills, y'all.

01:22:40.000 Now look, in retrospect, that's very cringe.

01:22:43.000 In retrospect, in 2023, super cringe.

01:22:47.000 But at that time, that was very funny, okay?

01:22:49.000 The sort of like white guy doing the black thing.

01:22:52.000 That was like, that played back then, okay?

01:22:55.000 It was a different time.

01:22:55.000 This is 2015.

01:22:57.000 2014, 2015, that was funny back then.

01:23:01.000 I didn't even think it was that funny, but the room exploded.

01:23:06.000 Everybody was laughing.

01:23:08.000 They were laughing.

01:23:10.000 They laughed their little white asses off.

01:23:13.000 All these hillbillies from Southern Illinois.

01:23:15.000 They were laughing.

01:23:16.000 A hill, a hill, a hill.

01:23:18.000 That was the funniest thing they'd ever heard.

01:23:20.000 And I just had them.

01:23:22.000 I knew it from that intro.

01:23:24.000 I'm like, I got this.

01:23:25.000 I got, I won.

01:23:26.000 I won.

01:23:28.000 And I was a little nervous because this girl was good.

01:23:30.000 She was, like I said, she was some hillbilly.

01:23:33.000 With a Southern accent.

01:23:35.000 And all these people prepared so much more than me.

01:23:40.000 And she came in and gave a very perfunctory, very good speech.

01:23:44.000 And I came in disrespectfully.

01:23:45.000 I came in disrespectfully!

01:23:48.000 Just with this crass hook.

01:23:51.000 And easily coasted to victory.

01:23:54.000 Epically.

01:23:55.000 And she was second and I was first that week.

01:23:58.000 And yeah.

01:23:59.000 So.

01:24:02.000 So yeah, those were the days.

01:24:03.000 Those were... those were the days.

01:24:07.000 Speech team, yeah, yeah.

01:24:10.000 And I was the hero because all the... the whole team was women and gay guys and so I was just on my own.

01:24:16.000 I would go to these tournaments and I would sit in the back of the bus with my headphones in and I would just look out the window.

01:24:23.000 And I would go, and everybody would be getting set up in the cafeteria, and I would sit by myself, and I'd be reading my book, and then I would go and just kick ass, and I'd go to the award thing and just win.

01:24:37.000 Because the thing is, all the other events were like acting, so it was like theater for all of them.

01:24:43.000 Now, I did Extemporaneous, which is all political, and you had more, like, student council types in there.

01:24:49.000 More, like, student council debate types did that event.

01:24:54.000 But all the other events was, like, poetry and dramatic, and it was all theater kids.

01:25:00.000 So... It was that clientele was there.

01:25:05.000 But...

01:25:07.000 You know, those were good days.

01:25:08.000 Good days!

01:25:10.000 And that was really where I got over my fear of public speaking.

01:25:13.000 I remember when I was a freshman and I did an oratorical declamation, which is you just memorize a speech and just give a memorized speech.

01:25:22.000 And the speech I gave was Stephen Colbert's commencement speech in Northwestern.

01:25:26.000 That was the one I memorized.

01:25:30.000 Remember at one school.

01:25:31.000 I was thinking to myself like I'm gonna go in there, and I'm never gonna see these people again Like they may think I'm terrible they may judge me, but I'm never gonna see them again But I will see the people in my class who You know if I if I don't place they're gonna think I'm an idiot so I went in there, and I was like I don't care and And I kind of that's where I began to develop this kind of like sociopathic

01:26:00.000 We're good to go.

01:26:24.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:26:25.000 I remember I would be in the hallway practicing.

01:26:29.000 They would always do this really weird thing and I hated it.

01:26:34.000 Of course, these tournaments took place at a high school, you know, and the actual speaking took place in a classroom.

01:26:44.000 And while people were waiting to go and present, they would be in the hallway and the whole hallway would be lined up.

01:26:51.000 People would be facing the lockers and giving their speech to a locker.

01:26:56.000 So you would walk down the hallway to your event and you would pass all these people and they'd be like,

01:27:03.000 And they have their fucking binder at their feet on the floor.

01:27:06.000 This and that.

01:27:08.000 And I was the one guy, and I would just like a chat, I would just stroll up and down the hallway just watching everybody.

01:27:15.000 Like, no, I'm not gonna practice.

01:27:17.000 No, I don't need to talk to a locker.

01:27:19.000 I don't need to practice.

01:27:21.000 So I would just pace up and down the hall and kind of just like check everybody out.

01:27:27.000 Oh, you don't need to practice?

01:27:28.000 No, I kind of don't need to practice.

01:27:30.000 I'm kind of fucking awesome.

01:27:33.000 So, anyway.

01:27:35.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:27:36.000 And one of these guys, there was one, oh man, get this.

01:27:40.000 There was this one guy who was like Chinese and he was the best in the circuit.

01:27:45.000 And I'm not going to dignify him by saying his name.

01:27:49.000 But here's the thing.

01:27:50.000 I didn't care about Speech Team.

01:27:52.000 I cared about Model UN.

01:27:53.000 I happen to be effortlessly excellent at Speech Team.

01:27:58.000 But my passion was Model UN.

01:28:00.000 So I would go to these tournaments and win, lose, or draw.

01:28:02.000 I didn't give a shit.

01:28:03.000 But there was one guy on the circuit who did my event.

01:28:07.000 And everyone worshipped him because he did a few events and he was one of the best.

01:28:12.000 He was some Chinese guy.

01:28:14.000 And I remember a few years ago, like the first time I went viral, he went on Twitter and he was like, Nick Fuentes went viral, but I beat him at speech team in high school.

01:28:27.000 And it's like, yeah, nobody likes your tweet, bitch, because this is a real world.

01:28:30.000 And a real baller will win in speech team, and a real baller will rape in the real world too.

01:28:37.000 Not just on the circuit with all these faggots and girls doing their theater event.

01:28:43.000 He was like, you know, well Nick Fuentes is rich and famous, but you know, speech team... Yeah, I didn't care about speech team then.

01:28:49.000 And guess what?

01:28:52.000 I'm smart.

01:28:53.000 That's why I succeeded in the real world also.

01:28:55.000 I didn't just win in the simulation.

01:28:57.000 I also won at the real thing against the competition of planet fucking Earth!

01:29:02.000 Because I'm world class!

01:29:04.000 Not just the best in like the state of Illinois or something.

01:29:07.000 Punk ass bitch.

01:29:08.000 You convinced some lard-ass fat theater judge that you're the best at oratorical declamation or something.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, congratulations.

01:29:23.000 Anyway.

01:29:27.000 So.

01:29:28.000 That's that.

01:29:33.000 Anyway.

01:29:34.000 Apologies for the language.

01:29:36.000 It's getting a little heated.

01:29:37.000 I get a little bit...

01:29:39.000 Little bit animated when it comes to that.

01:29:47.000 But, that's the thing that pissed me off about high school, is I would go into these simulations and they wouldn't like me, and I'm like, but I'm the best!

01:29:55.000 But I'm the best!

01:29:57.000 You can't tell me that I didn't win!

01:29:59.000 I'm the best!

01:30:00.000 You know, I would go into these Model UN conferences, and I would be ripping people in half, and we would literally be pushing people on the floor, and doing crazy stuff,

01:30:11.000 But I would lose because it was some girl, high school or college student, who would be like, um, you weren't diplomatic enough.

01:30:20.000 Um, you didn't build consensus.

01:30:21.000 And I would say, but I won!

01:30:23.000 But I was a rightful winner.

01:30:24.000 I was the best.

01:30:26.000 You can't tell me that I wasn't, you know, just because in your opinion.

01:30:29.000 And so I used to think to myself, like, I can't wait to get into the real world because once I get in the real world, I don't need to convince a judge that I'm winning.

01:30:39.000 I can just win.

01:30:42.000 So, anyway... So, anyway, so that's that, but... Yeah, I mean... But it was really frustrating.

01:31:01.000 I'll never forget that committee that I was in where, I mean, I just absolutely dominated the entire room.

01:31:08.000 It was unbelievable.

01:31:10.000 Absolutely, just methodically and masterfully dominated the entire room.

01:31:16.000 Like, it wasn't even fair.

01:31:18.000 It was like you sent in... I don't even know.

01:31:22.000 It was like you sent in a grizzly bear to fight a daycare center.

01:31:29.000 Imagine the carnage.

01:31:30.000 Imagine if you released a polar bear into an infant ward.

01:31:35.000 That's what it was like.

01:31:36.000 Okay, imagine that level of carnage.

01:31:38.000 Just slashing and biting and mauling and eating.

01:31:43.000 It was like that.

01:31:44.000 It was brutal.

01:31:45.000 It was the most brutal performance that I had ever put on.

01:31:50.000 And I remember thinking, like, there's no one that was even close.

01:31:54.000 Like, I have to win.

01:31:56.000 And we go to the awards ceremony.

01:32:01.000 And they go third place, second place, and I get up.

01:32:04.000 I'm like, here we go.

01:32:05.000 You already know it.

01:32:07.000 And they said it was somebody else.

01:32:09.000 They're like, Thailand, from Lions Township, Thailand.

01:32:12.000 I was France.

01:32:15.000 And everybody was like, what?

01:32:20.000 And I remember emailing the chair like, how dare you?

01:32:23.000 I did everything.

01:32:25.000 I passed every resolution.

01:32:27.000 And the chair said something like, oh but you were too mean.

01:32:30.000 You didn't build consensus.

01:32:31.000 You were too... You know, they said that I was like divisive.

01:32:38.000 And I said, but I won!

01:32:40.000 But I won!

01:32:44.000 So... And sometimes I feel like that in my real life now.

01:32:50.000 You know?

01:32:52.000 Because it's like a lot of these A-Log types.

01:32:56.000 They're like, he's winning, but he was mean to me.

01:32:58.000 He's winning, but you know what?

01:33:00.000 He's actually a jerk!

01:33:03.000 Well... Sometimes you gotta be a jerk to cook it up, you know?

01:33:11.000 But anyway...

01:33:13.000 Anyway, so that's that.

01:33:15.000 Little walk down memory lane if you'll indulge me.

01:33:18.000 Indulge me in my trip down memory lane here.

01:33:23.000 Just a little fun.

01:33:24.000 Just a little Wednesday night, hump day reminiscing.

01:33:27.000 Oh yeah, those are the days.

01:33:32.000 I mean imagine a guy like me in a committee.

01:33:34.000 Imagine a guy like me with all these high school kids.

01:33:39.000 It was just brutality.

01:33:41.000 But, anyway.

01:33:47.000 But I lost.

01:33:51.000 Sometimes.

01:33:53.000 I remember I was in the finals at sectionals or regionals for speech team and I went into the finals and I think I've told this story a hundred times but I went in and I said something like

01:34:08.000 Some speech about foreign policy and I made some extended analogy about baseball and I said now in baseball you get three strikes and you're out I said and we're at our third strike I said but you can't blame Barack Obama considering

01:34:20.000 They don't know a whole lot about baseball and Kenya where he was born.

01:34:24.000 I said something like that and I immediately lost.

01:34:27.000 Like immediately lost because of that.

01:34:31.000 And that was in like the first 10 seconds of my speech.

01:34:35.000 And that was in the finals and like regionals.

01:34:38.000 So I was like one of eight kids in my team.

01:34:42.000 That advanced to the next level.

01:34:45.000 And then I got in the finals and then I just like basically forfeited because I went in there and I'm like, well, you can't blame Barack Obama for not knowing anything about baseball considering he was born in Kenya.

01:34:56.000 Some, some, that was, that was the joke.

01:35:03.000 I don't remember the exact wording.

01:35:07.000 It's considering he was born in Africa.

01:35:09.000 Something like that.

01:38:07.000 Is that what you're implying?

01:38:08.000 This guy's like, I touch guys for a living.

01:38:11.000 Can I touch you?

01:38:14.000 I touch naked guys for a living.

01:38:16.000 Can I get you on my table and touch you intimately?

01:38:20.000 No.

01:38:20.000 No thank you, actually.

01:38:25.000 I don't need... Look at this.

01:38:27.000 Google this on Google Images.

01:38:29.000 You think I'm gonna let some super chatter... I'm gonna get up on a table in the fetal position and let you touch me?

01:38:35.000 Gross.

01:38:36.000 Get away from me, buddy.

01:38:38.000 Get away from me.

01:38:38.000 What the heck is that?

01:38:44.000 So I do stretch therapy for a living.

01:38:46.000 Would you ever do a 60-minute one-on-one table-based stretch?

01:38:51.000 What the hell is wrong with you?

01:38:53.000 Get away from me, dude.

01:38:54.000 Get away from me.

01:38:56.000 Do not touch me.

01:39:00.000 Sheesh.

01:39:03.000 Yeah, no thank you.

01:39:05.000 No thank you.

01:39:06.000 Does that sound like something that I would do?

01:39:10.000 You think you're gonna throw me on a table and push me around like Play-Doh?

01:39:13.000 No.

01:39:15.000 I don't think so.

01:39:19.000 What in the world?

01:39:24.000 Stretch therapy.

01:39:25.000 I do stretch therapy for a living.

01:39:27.000 Would you ever do, and just out of curiosity, would you ever do a one-on-one table-based stretch session with a certified stretch therapist?

01:39:37.000 Fuck no, dude.

01:39:39.000 Never.

01:40:05.000 How could you say that to me?

01:40:06.000 What, do you want to touch me?

01:40:13.000 Jeez.

01:40:19.000 I disavow you!

01:40:20.000 I disavow you, you pedophile rapist!

01:40:24.000 I know I'm a 24-year-old man, but still.

01:40:29.000 I'm childlike.

01:40:30.000 Now you would want to molest me like that.

01:40:32.000 It's pedophilic in spirit.

01:40:37.000 I'm a childlike, boyish sweetie, so if you think of me in that way, spiritually pedophilic.

01:40:48.000 Gross.

01:40:54.000 Imagining me on a table like that, jeez.

01:40:58.000 Stretching me around, jeez.

01:41:34.000 Do you, like, know anything about me?

01:41:36.000 What about watching this show and knowing things about me would make you think that I would be into that?

01:41:43.000 Huh?

01:41:46.000 Geez.

01:41:50.000 You think I'd be like, oh yeah, that sounds great.

01:41:53.000 Stretch me out.

01:42:17.000 Not even like a rapist, you're like a gay molester.

01:42:21.000 Sorry.

01:42:47.000 How is it banned?

01:42:48.000 I don't see a ban.

01:43:17.000 So what do you mean?

01:43:18.000 What do you mean?

01:44:02.000 Would you accept a celebrity boxing match with Jonathan Greenblatt if he was up for it?

01:44:06.000 Absolutely.

01:44:08.000 How big is he though?

01:44:09.000 Is he a big guy?

01:44:11.000 Probably not.

01:44:12.000 He's Jewish.

01:44:13.000 Some Jews are big though.

01:44:25.000 I would have to.

01:44:26.000 No matter how tall he is, I would have to box him.

01:44:29.000 So the answer is yes.

01:44:34.000 He's old too.

01:44:35.000 Absolutely.

01:44:38.000 Hey!

01:44:53.000 Go figure.

01:44:53.000 Nah, I didn't see it.

01:45:41.000 Vincent sent $3.

01:45:43.000 What are your top 3 Stanley Kubrick Kinos?

01:45:45.000 For me and Barry Lyndon, the best movie of all time, Eyes Wide Shut, and The Shining.

01:45:51.000 2001 is overrated.

01:45:53.000 Let me look up his filmography.

01:45:57.000 I'll forget one.

01:46:01.000 If I don't have it in front of me.

01:46:08.000 I would say...

01:46:12.000 I'm not a huge, to be honest with you, I'm not a big Stanley Kubrick fan.

01:46:17.000 I'm not like a big movie, like on a technical level, a big movie guy.

01:46:21.000 I just watch them because I like to watch them.

01:46:24.000 So from that perspective, I'm not a huge fan.

01:46:26.000 But I would probably say Doctor Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket, and... 2001.

01:46:38.000 Those would be my top three.

01:46:44.000 And I've only ever seen, though, in addition to those, I've seen Eyes Wide Shut, I've seen Shining, I've seen Clockwork Orange.
