America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Why the Iranian Protests Are Not Organic | America First Ep. 76

00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:03.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:07.000 We have a great show for you tonight, a great year.

00:00:11.000 So many opportunities in front of us now that we are firmly planted, firmly planted in the year 2018, in the year of our Lord.

00:00:21.000 What a year!

00:00:22.000 What a year it's been, 2017.

00:00:24.000 And we have finally arrived here.

00:00:26.000 Hope everybody had a very safe New Year's Eve.

00:00:30.000 I hope everybody made good choices.

00:00:32.000 I tweeted to remind everybody.

00:00:34.000 To make good choices, and we know what that means.

00:00:37.000 I have a feeling many people didn't really heed that warning, but I hope we are all healthy and happy.

00:00:43.000 Best wishes moving forward in the new year.

00:00:45.000 We are excited on this show, on this network, on America First Media, to continue the fight against the people, the people that are really ruining it for everybody else in the new year.

00:00:58.000 We're very excited.

00:00:58.000 We've got lots of things planned for you in 2018, lots of big things, new content.

00:01:05.000 New people on the network, our college tour hopefully in the spring, new merch coming.

00:01:10.000 So, we are very excited.

00:01:12.000 We are very excited for 2018, and we're glad to be back after the holiday break, the Christmas slash holiday break season.

00:01:22.000 You know, I can't say that I spent my time too productively over my vacation.

00:01:27.000 You know, I had all kinds of ideas of what I could accomplish taking a week off while I was doing the show.

00:01:33.000 I'm thinking I'll be reading all kinds of books, I'll be doing all kinds of work, and It was a lot of Minecraft, okay?

00:01:39.000 It was a lot of Civilization V, a lot of eating, so, but that's all right.

00:01:43.000 New Year's resolutions coming in.

00:01:46.000 My New Year's resolutions.

00:01:47.000 I want to get to the gym.

00:01:48.000 I know you guys have been busting my balls about that all year since I started the show in February.

00:01:55.000 Trying to read every night. 0.52

00:01:56.000 I think that's a good, a noble goal.

00:01:58.000 Everybody should be doing that one.

00:02:00.000 Getting in the gym, finding time to read every day, and people don't realize it, but a little bit goes a long way.

00:02:06.000 People have it in their head that they got to plop down and read for hours and hours a day.

00:02:11.000 That is nice, but.

00:02:13.000 Free 20 pages a day, that really makes a difference.

00:02:15.000 You read a lot of books in a year.

00:02:17.000 And among my other New Year's resolutions, I want to get to that Latin Mass every Sunday.

00:02:21.000 It's far away from my house, but we got to get to the Latin Mass.

00:02:25.000 English Mass, yes, it's good.

00:02:27.000 You know, you should do that, but Latin Mass, that's really where the church is at.

00:02:32.000 But those are my resolutions for the New Year.

00:02:35.000 Hopefully, those will stay intact. 1.00

00:02:38.000 Also, we want to get away from the boomer tech. 0.98

00:02:39.000 Hopefully, that'll happen in 2018. 0.97

00:02:41.000 But With all of our New Year's talk out of the way, I got to tell you, it's so overdone.

00:02:47.000 The New Year's stuff, right?

00:02:48.000 Isn't it like you change the number at the end of the year?

00:02:51.000 You go up one, and how is that any different?

00:02:53.000 But maybe that's the postmodernist spirit of me talking.

00:02:57.000 We have to get to the news.

00:02:58.000 Now that we've gotten out of the holiday mood, all the decorations are gone.

00:03:03.000 We're back to business on the show.

00:03:04.000 We're back to serious affairs here.

00:03:07.000 And we have a big story, huge, massive, going on in the Middle East right now.

00:03:14.000 Of course, I'm talking about the protests, the civil unrest happening in Iran.

00:03:21.000 And this has been going on for five days now.

00:03:23.000 You've probably heard about it.

00:03:24.000 It's the biggest story that's really happened for the past two or three weeks.

00:03:28.000 Not a whole lot going on, but this, I think, caught everybody by surprise.

00:03:31.000 And that is, I think, the most curious and peculiar thing about the protests, which is that there has been no catalyst.

00:03:40.000 There was no event, there was no spark which triggered these protests.

00:03:46.000 For all the theories about the protests, whether it's in response to the stagnant economy in Iran, if it's in response to government corruption, if it's in response to the dictatorship, the authoritarian nature, the religious fundamentalist government.

00:04:03.000 For all the theories about who might be involved, whether it's the Zionists, the Americans, the Saudis, the Emiratis, for everything that everybody's been saying about it, here's the one thing that's missing.

00:04:15.000 Here's the one thing why we cannot look at this as organic or grassroots or anything other than astroturfed.

00:04:22.000 There was no catalyst.

00:04:25.000 Worst protests in Iran since 2009.

00:04:29.000 And if you recall, in 2009, they called this the Green Revolution or the Green Movement.

00:04:34.000 In response to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning re election in 2009, there were massive protests like they hadn't seen since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

00:04:45.000 And this was, of course, in response to perceived government corruption, perceived impropriety in the election process because everybody had voted for the reformer and Ahmadinejad won.

00:04:56.000 That was the catalyst.

00:04:58.000 And everybody's comparing it to 2009.

00:05:01.000 They say that Barack Obama missed an opportunity.

00:05:04.000 In 2009, he didn't stand up with the freedom fighters, he didn't stand up with the Student and other protesters.

00:05:10.000 They compare it to the Islamic Revolution.

00:05:12.000 They compare it to the uprising in 1953 in response to the overthrow of Mossadegh, who was democratically elected by the CIA.

00:05:22.000 But missing, missing in this uprising, which cannot be said about 1953, 1979, or 2009, is a catalyst.

00:05:31.000 There's no event.

00:05:33.000 You know, you wonder is it economics?

00:05:35.000 Is it the fundamentalism?

00:05:37.000 Is it the authoritarianism?

00:05:38.000 Maybe, maybe.

00:05:40.000 People in Iran are angry because they've gotten poor over the past 10 years.

00:05:45.000 People in Iran might be angry because the religious laws are too strict.

00:05:50.000 You know, that's really dubious, but maybe.

00:05:53.000 The problem is what is the reason that hundreds, thousands of people get up out of their homes and protest across the entire country, from the north to the south, from the east to the west, in rural, in urban Iran?

00:06:08.000 Why are thousands of people going out and protesting?

00:06:11.000 Because what?

00:06:12.000 Because the prices of eggs rose?

00:06:15.000 Because the price of dairy and poultry rose?

00:06:18.000 Because they just decided one day, I'm kind of tired of the religious fundamentalism.

00:06:23.000 It's been 40 years of it, but I don't know.

00:06:25.000 Today I'm just feeling like I'm not having it.

00:06:28.000 No catalyst.

00:06:30.000 People compare it to the Arab Spring.

00:06:32.000 The Arab Spring in 2011, where you had revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa, starting in Tunisia, going to Egypt, then to Libya, then going obviously to Syria and other places.

00:06:43.000 What was the catalyst in the Arab Spring?

00:06:45.000 It was the Tunisian Revolution.

00:06:47.000 What caused the Tunisian revolution?

00:06:49.000 It was the self immolation of an anti government activist, set himself on fire, huge public spectacle, famous image.

00:06:57.000 As we look at Egypt, we look at Libya, we look at Tunisia, even Syria, and we can see the catalyst.

00:07:03.000 We can see why, to some degree, even though there was foreign infiltration, even though of course there was foreign influence, you had an organic grassroots catalyst for why people are going out and protesting.

00:07:16.000 Every revolution in the Middle East for 40 years has had a catalyst, every organic revolution.

00:07:21.000 Has a catalyst.

00:07:23.000 What's the catalyst for this one?

00:07:25.000 What's the catalyst?

00:07:26.000 What was the big event?

00:07:28.000 2009, it was the election.

00:07:29.000 79, it was the White Revolution, a series of land reforms by the U.S. backed Pahlavi regime.

00:07:36.000 53, it was the violent installation of the Shah.

00:07:39.000 What is it here? 0.86

00:07:41.000 What is the catalyst?

00:07:42.000 And I would ask that for both sides for people that say it's economics.

00:07:46.000 And it's weird because you see this disconnect.

00:07:49.000 You know, people say this is not quite like Iraq.

00:07:52.000 This is not a neocon adventure.

00:07:53.000 This is not a Zionist conspiracy because the media and the government are parting ways on this one.

00:08:00.000 The media is.

00:08:01.000 Is towing the Iranian government line.

00:08:03.000 The media, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times, they're saying that this uprising in Iran is in response to the stagnant economy there, which economic growth has been poor for a long time.

00:08:15.000 Prices are rising there.

00:08:17.000 Sanctions are hurting them.

00:08:18.000 There was some kind of.

00:08:20.000 They had to restrict the production of dairy or cattle or something because there was something going on.

00:08:26.000 Prices, basically, is what CNN and the mainstream media is saying.

00:08:30.000 They're saying don't support the protesters.

00:08:32.000 It's not a big deal.

00:08:33.000 They're not really reporting on it.

00:08:35.000 And if it is happening, it's because of economics.

00:08:37.000 That's what the Iranian government is saying.

00:08:39.000 The foreign policy establishment, the government, Donald Trump, the politicians, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, who, you know, they've never met a war they didn't like, they're all saying it's for freedom.

00:08:50.000 They're liberators.

00:08:51.000 We need to go in there and liberate them.

00:08:53.000 We need to support them.

00:08:54.000 And in both cases, both people are wrong.

00:08:58.000 Both of them, I'm just confused as to what the motivations are here.

00:09:02.000 And that should raise some questions, a little bit of foreshadowing there.

00:09:06.000 Is with the economics, there's no catalyst.

00:09:10.000 With the liberation, there's no catalyst.

00:09:12.000 And so far, the mainstream media narrative goes that it was initially in response to economics, but then once the government cracked down on the protesters, it became about the government.

00:09:22.000 But that just doesn't quite make sense.

00:09:24.000 I don't think anybody is going out and protesting for that.

00:09:27.000 So that's the first thing.

00:09:28.000 That's the first and most peculiar thing.

00:09:30.000 The takeaway is, in my analysis and my observation, is why is this happening?

00:09:36.000 Five days of protest.

00:09:38.000 Worst protests in 10 years, and there's not a damn reason why.

00:09:41.000 Not one single thing that happened that we know why this is happening.

00:09:44.000 That's number one.

00:09:45.000 Number two, you cannot look at what's happening in Iran without considering what's been happening in the broader Middle East for the past year.

00:09:54.000 I'm so shocked at people who I think are smart who are calling this all wrong, who are taking it at face value, who see protests and they say, well, what are the protesters saying?

00:10:06.000 Oh, it must be about that.

00:10:07.000 Wrong.

00:10:09.000 You look at what's been going on in the Middle East for the past year, and what have we seen?

00:10:14.000 We saw Iranian inspired Shiite protests and uprisings in Qatar, in Bahrain.

00:10:21.000 We saw Iranian funded and backed Houthi rebels overthrow the government in Yemen, violent civil war in Yemen.

00:10:28.000 You see Hezbollah backed by Iran, which is now fighting for the legitimacy of the Lebanese country with the Lebanese government.

00:10:36.000 At the same time, you've seen Saudi Arabia counteracting these Iranian measures very aggressively in the past six months.

00:10:43.000 Over the summer, you saw the blockadeslash embargo of Qatar, a Gulf country who was accused of praising Iran in like a secret message.

00:10:53.000 Their leader was accused by Saudi Arabia of praising Iran in the Qatari owned media.

00:11:00.000 You saw very recently the ouster of the Lebanese president who resigned.

00:11:05.000 Later, Saudi Arabia was accused of forcing the resignation of the Lebanese prime minister because he was entangled in an anti corruption purge.

00:11:13.000 You saw the Saudi regime declare that both Yemen and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia were at war with Saudi Arabia.

00:11:22.000 You've seen the eradication of ISIS from both fronts in both Syria and Iraq.

00:11:26.000 And so you look at everything that's gone on in the past year, all this unrest, and particularly what's been brewing between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

00:11:36.000 And even if you didn't follow all that, the point is not to look at everything there just yet.

00:11:41.000 The point is to illustrate that what's happening in Iran cannot be viewed outside the context of this proxy war which has been going on, this Cold War between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

00:11:53.000 Anyone who is dismissing allegations or accusations of foreign interference in Iran.

00:12:00.000 That this might not be about democracy.

00:12:02.000 Maybe it's about the Saudis having their hands in it, maybe the Israelis, maybe even the United States.

00:12:07.000 To dismiss that outright, I think belies the context of what's happened for the past year, but really for the past five years between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

00:12:16.000 So, number one, you have no catalyst.

00:12:19.000 Number two, something has been going on in the Middle East for a long time.

00:12:24.000 We're not sure exactly what it is, but you have this turmoil, this unrest in Saudi Arabia with the ascendancy of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

00:12:33.000 You have this proxy war spreading throughout the Gulf countries, throughout the greater Middle East, and all these other countries like Lebanon and Syria.

00:12:41.000 You have ISIS being eradicated.

00:12:43.000 You have things going on in Israel.

00:12:45.000 So it's not quite simple enough to look at what's happening in Iran and just look at what's happening in Iran this week.

00:12:51.000 It's not sufficient.

00:12:52.000 So that's number two.

00:12:55.000 Now we look more broadly.

00:12:57.000 Now we really start to pull apart the pieces.

00:12:59.000 Now that we've accepted, basically, that there's something not right here and there is broader context, let's actually look at what's happened.

00:13:07.000 In the past six months, we've seen the rise of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

00:13:13.000 Now, if you've been following the politics of Saudi Arabia, a few years ago, the King of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah, he died, and his brother, King Salman, stepped up and took his place.

00:13:26.000 Now, Salman has been a little bit different than Abdullah.

00:13:29.000 Abdullah was very conservative, he was very moderate in terms of he didn't want to make too many changes.

00:13:35.000 Saudi Arabia became a meme that women couldn't drive there, it was very oppressive. 1.00

00:13:39.000 You saw the spread of Sunni. 0.96

00:13:41.000 Terror, you saw the spread of Wahhabism even in our own country at the behest of this very corrupt country where the king was not really making too many moves to counteract that. 0.97

00:13:53.000 With the rise of King Salman, you started to see a little bit of change, and that really accelerated when you saw his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, rise specifically under the reign of President Trump, at least during the time of President Trump's presidency. 0.97

00:14:09.000 And since Donald Trump got elected, you've seen Jared Kushner and his personal friend, Mohammed bin Salman, they've really been shaking things up.

00:14:16.000 This started in summer.

00:14:18.000 We talked about it before, but to go into detail, the Qatari royal family, the House of Thani, was accused of praising Iran, saying they were a great Islamic power in the Middle East.

00:14:29.000 Now, that was just a rumor, and that was denied by the Qatari royal family.

00:14:33.000 This is a Gulf country that's kind of contended with Saudi Arabia for power in the Arabian Peninsula.

00:14:40.000 Saudi Arabia responded by putting them under a complete and total blockade and embargo.

00:14:45.000 They got many other countries in the Middle East.

00:14:47.000 To embargo Qatar.

00:14:48.000 And it got so bad, I'm not sure if people remember this because it was a little while ago and it wasn't talked about too much.

00:14:55.000 But Qatar, they had to fly in food, they had to fly in water.

00:14:59.000 Turkey sent troops to Qatar.

00:15:01.000 Iran was sending aid to Qatar because there was fear that Saudi Arabia would go in and invade.

00:15:06.000 And that would be such an unprecedented move, very destabilizing.

00:15:10.000 That was really the first alarm bell that there was something going on in the Middle East.

00:15:15.000 Later on, and this is what inaugurated a series of unrest earlier in the fall.

00:15:20.000 You saw the Lebanese prime minister resign.

00:15:23.000 And this was something that wasn't covered very much.

00:15:25.000 It wasn't talked about very much until later on that weekend, a lot more things started to happen.

00:15:31.000 And so, first, the Lebanese prime minister resigned.

00:15:33.000 And he said that the reason he was resigning was because Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, is making it impossible for his government to rule.

00:15:40.000 It's making it impossible for him to rule his country.

00:15:44.000 And also, pressure from Iran more generally is causing him to step down.

00:15:49.000 He stepped down and he fled to Saudi Arabia.

00:15:52.000 Later that weekend, massive anti corruption.

00:15:56.000 Anti corruption purge in Saudi Arabia headed by the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

00:16:02.000 He arrested Al Walid, who was a major player in U.S. politics, in world politics, who owned stake in Twitter, who owned stake in the Four Seasons, which was part of the Four Seasons, or excuse me, the Mandalay Bay Hotel from which Stephen Paddock shot and killed 56 people.

00:16:20.000 So, a very, very interesting purge that went on in Saudi Arabia later that week, where a lot of rich people, a lot of global political power brokers, were arrested in that purge by the crown prince.

00:16:32.000 It was later revealed by Reuters and the Associated Press that the prime minister of Lebanon, who resigned and later fled to Saudi Arabia, was being kept under house arrest there, and that maybe he resigned at the behest of Mohammed bin Salman, who had caught him up and his companies up in the anti corruption purge, forced the prime minister of Lebanon to resign in order to point the finger at Iran.

00:16:56.000 Later that weekend, there was a missile launched from Yemen from Houthi Iranian backed rebels in Yemen To the Riyadh International Airport.

00:17:04.000 That's the capital of Saudi Arabia, where the king and the royal family live.

00:17:09.000 Now, the regime of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi royal government, said that that was an act of war by Iran.

00:17:16.000 That's not something to be taken lightly.

00:17:18.000 A missile shot from Iranian backed rebels into Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia said that was an Iranian built missile provided by Iran, and that constitutes an act of war.

00:17:29.000 Later that weekend, the Saudi royal government said that Hezbollah in Lebanon was at war. 0.57

00:17:35.000 With Saudi Arabia.

00:17:36.000 And you see all these pieces coming into play here, where Iran has been playing it very aggressively over the past eight years with Barack Obama's president, where their influence has grown in places like Yemen, Qatar, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and other places.

00:17:52.000 Now, in the past six months, you see Saudi Arabia combating them on all fronts, where they're now accusing Yemen of directly coordinating with Iran and committing an act of war, where Saudi Arabia is now creating kind of a false flag.

00:18:06.000 Political attack enforcing the Lebanese prime minister to resign, saying that Lebanon is at war with Saudi Arabia, Iran is at war with Saudi Arabia, increasing their involvement in the Yemen civil war, blockading ports, causing people to starve.

00:18:23.000 And so you really start to see that what's going on in Iran may be an extension of that.

00:18:28.000 I think that is one theory.

00:18:30.000 That's one theory that certainly I think everybody should fully consider.

00:18:34.000 When you see what's been going on over the past six months and you see what has preceded, This uprising in Iran, this spontaneous demonstration in Iran, I think it would be ignorant to not look at the very aggressive, very destabilizing effect that the rise of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has had in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

00:18:55.000 He's been causing it in Lebanon, in Yemen, in Qatar, and all over the place, maybe in Iran as well.

00:19:02.000 The other thing to look at is what's been happening in Israel, where they have been playing it very aggressively, not only in the West Bank, but in the Gaza Strip and also in Syria.

00:19:12.000 We've seen throughout 2017, or we saw rather throughout 2017, Israel repeatedly launching attacks against Syria, against Hezbollah.

00:19:22.000 They say it's Hezbollah, but in Syria, missile attacks, shooting drones out of the sky, planes out of the sky, blowing up munitions depots and everything else in response to a perceived slight in the Golan Heights, where they're drilling for oil, by the way.

00:19:39.000 And so that's where the Israeli angle might come into play, where Israel has seen perhaps an opportunity, where Israel is working more closely with Saudi Arabia, where Israel has been extremely expansionist in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

00:19:51.000 They now have an American administration, which is not as critical.

00:19:55.000 Which is not aiding and abetting Iran actively like the Obama administration was, and where Jerusalem was just named as the capital.

00:20:02.000 You have to wonder does that play into it?

00:20:04.000 Was that a part of some kind of a deal?

00:20:07.000 Why is all of this coming together?

00:20:09.000 And so that's a piece of the puzzle.

00:20:11.000 And then we look at something that happened in the last two bits here before we get into the broad conclusions here, the summary.

00:20:19.000 I know it's a lot of information, but we have to look at the whole context.

00:20:23.000 The last two things is we saw in Jordan.

00:20:26.000 A couple of days ago, Jordan is normally the most stable country in the Middle East.

00:20:32.000 The Jordanian king, if you've ever heard him, is a brilliant guy.

00:20:36.000 He's gone to Western schools.

00:20:37.000 He speaks perfect English.

00:20:38.000 This guy is a scholar and a very good soldier, really a remarkable man.

00:20:43.000 And for the longest time, for as long as I've been alive and looking at the Middle East, Jordan has been stable, has been nonpartisan, really, not really taking part in these controversies and these destabilizing proxy conflicts that have been going on.

00:20:58.000 They've accepted a lot of refugees, and that's destabilized them to some extent.

00:21:01.000 But generally speaking, the Jordanian king and Jordan as a country has not really taken part in the Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other kinds of things going on in the Middle East as of late.

00:21:14.000 Well, this weekend, we saw the Jordanian king sack two of his close relatives, siblings, from their high military positions in response to what many are reporting was contact between his relatives and his family and the Emiratis and the Saudis, who may have been planning a coup.

00:21:33.000 So we factor that into it, and then we factor in a tweet by Donald Trump this morning saying that he would withhold $255 million in foreign aid to Pakistan because they are harboring terrorists.

00:21:48.000 Now you got to ask yourself is all of this happening, all of these different things happening at the same time, is that all a coincidence?

00:21:57.000 You have the Jordanian king about to be sacked by their ally, Saudi Arabia.

00:22:02.000 You have Pakistan being withheld.

00:22:05.000 A quarter of a billion dollars in foreign aid in response to harboring terrorism.

00:22:09.000 Who had ever heard of that?

00:22:11.000 Who had ever heard of Pakistan in that kind of capacity in the past five years? 0.80

00:22:15.000 Where you have the ascendancy of this very disruptive, very destabilizing crown prince in Saudi Arabia, where you have the escalation of this proxy conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia, increasingly in alliance with Israel and with cooperation from the United States. 0.74

00:22:31.000 And we're supposed to believe that a spontaneous demonstration.

00:22:36.000 About the price of eggs rising has caused the worst uprising in Iran in eight years?

00:22:41.000 Really? 1.00

00:22:42.000 Who's selling this crap? 0.99

00:22:43.000 You know, I go on that stream of Baked Alaska and Red Elephants the other day, and, you know, I don't know this guy too well, but Vince, he's saying, oh, well, you know, it's organic because the mainstream media isn't covering it. 0.99

00:22:55.000 And I hear Stefan and some of these other characters out there saying, well, you know, we should support it, and Iran is very oppressive, it might be good. 0.92

00:23:05.000 Something is going on here. 1.00

00:23:07.000 Something is going on here.

00:23:09.000 It's not about bread.

00:23:11.000 It's not about poultry.

00:23:12.000 It's not about eggs. 1.00

00:23:13.000 It's not about hijabs. 1.00

00:23:14.000 It's not about burqas. 1.00

00:23:16.000 Something is going on.

00:23:18.000 Something very serious is going on where it is looking like, and this was a big LARP, it looked like on poll.

00:23:27.000 If you saw on poll a couple of weeks ago, or not weeks, months ago now, but there was someone who claimed to be on poll a little while back that they had this very high security clearance and they were warning about this old coalition of Barack Obama cooperating with Iran, cooperating with Pakistan, and elements in the Saudi royal family.

00:23:48.000 And that Donald Trump, with the help of Mohammed bin Salman and some of these other actors, is working to displace them, is working to combat them, and I guess purge them, purge this international criminal cartel, I suppose, from power.

00:24:04.000 And it's looking like that's holding truth to some extent, in the sense that it's not totally, it's not about ideology.

00:24:12.000 What we're seeing is not about ideology.

00:24:14.000 What we're seeing is not even about state actors.

00:24:18.000 When you look at Saudi Arabia, that's the best example of it, where.

00:24:23.000 Somebody who doesn't really know too much about that country might say, well, you know, Saudi Arabia, they've been doing deals with Barack Obama and they continue to do deals with Donald Trump.

00:24:33.000 They supported ISIS, but now they're combating ISIS.

00:24:36.000 People might see that as a contradiction.

00:24:38.000 But there are these different elements in the Saudi royal family.

00:24:41.000 It looks like there's a lot of friction here.

00:24:43.000 Whereas Al Walid, who was arrested in the anti corruption purge, was a sponsor and a benefactor of Barack Obama and of Hillary Clinton, now arrested by Mohammed bin Salman, who came out of nowhere.

00:24:54.000 Where Pakistan, who is a longtime ally of the United States, gets lots of money in foreign aid, now is getting their foreign aid withheld.

00:25:01.000 And you got to ask why that is.

00:25:03.000 So I'm not quite sure what it is.

00:25:05.000 I don't think we have all the information, but I think we have enough information.

00:25:10.000 We have enough of, I guess, kind of this indirect knowledge of what's going on behind the scenes to say that there's so much more than meets the eyes here.

00:25:19.000 And so we'll keep an eye on it.

00:25:21.000 We'll keep digging.

00:25:22.000 We'll keep trying to find these connections.

00:25:24.000 I think we're getting a much more clear picture.

00:25:26.000 Of what's going on in the Middle East as the months have progressed.

00:25:29.000 I think we figured out that one weekend, if you remember, when the Saudi purge happened, that weekend was crazy.

00:25:37.000 One of the members of the royal family got blown up in a helicopter over the border.

00:25:41.000 That thing happened in Lebanon.

00:25:42.000 There was the purge.

00:25:43.000 And, you know, that was a crazy weekend.

00:25:45.000 I think that's when we all realized that something fishy was going on.

00:25:49.000 Something is not right.

00:25:50.000 And we continue to see what that is as these things unfold.

00:25:53.000 And we'll keep an eye on it. 0.62

00:25:55.000 I'm not going to be so foolish as to say, you know, do I support what's going on in Iran?

00:25:59.000 Do I not? 0.95

00:26:00.000 Because.

00:26:01.000 We don't know who the actors are.

00:26:02.000 We don't know who the protesters are, who they're backed by, why they're doing this, what the end game is.

00:26:09.000 I was reading in Israeli state media that this probably will not challenge the Iranian regime in the immediate short term, but in the long term, it may undermine the credibility of the president and the clerical establishment.

00:26:21.000 So is that the goal?

00:26:23.000 Is that where it stops?

00:26:25.000 Will it get worse?

00:26:25.000 Will it continue?

00:26:27.000 I guess we'll wait and we'll have to see. 0.99

00:26:30.000 But that's Iran. 1.00

00:26:31.000 That's what's going on there. 0.99

00:26:34.000 It's just so funny to me how people are so quick to throw in and jump in.

00:26:38.000 It's funny to see how on the right, nobody's really looking at what's actually happening.

00:26:43.000 They're just going to disagree with the people they don't like.

00:26:46.000 You know, the one camp says, I support it.

00:26:49.000 I support it because the mainstream media isn't covering it. 0.92

00:26:53.000 And the other side says, I don't support it because the Zionists are supporting it. 0.80

00:26:57.000 And neither of these sides, both of these sides, the principle is not non intervention, the principle is not America first. 0.86

00:27:05.000 Or American interest, it's not realism, it's not internationalism.

00:27:09.000 The principle is do the opposite of the people I don't like.

00:27:14.000 And so you have half the people saying, I'm going to do the opposite of the media.

00:27:17.000 The media is not covering it. 0.99

00:27:19.000 The media is towing the Iranian government line, and therefore I support it.

00:27:24.000 And then the other half is saying, well, the Zionists are supporting it, and the Zionists are speaking out for the protesters, and therefore I'm against the protesters.

00:27:32.000 But nobody, nobody is looking at what's been happening on the ground.

00:27:36.000 Nobody is following the money, following the guns, the attacks, and everything else.

00:27:42.000 You have to put all these pieces together.

00:27:44.000 And I can't help but wonder.

00:27:46.000 If maybe this is not unlike what happened in Syria in April, where what happened in Syria in April, if you recall, April of 2017, where Donald Trump launched 52 missiles against the Syrian regime.

00:28:02.000 They blew up an airport in Homs, Syria, I believe it was.

00:28:07.000 And everybody said, we're going to war with Syria.

00:28:10.000 A lot of the rhetoric you heard about Syria earlier in 2017, you're hearing about Iran now. 0.52

00:28:15.000 That everything we're hearing about, Iran now is what we heard about Iraq in 2003.

00:28:21.000 People are saying the same about these protests in Iran.

00:28:24.000 And I look at what's happening.

00:28:25.000 I look at who's saying what.

00:28:27.000 I look at what the media is saying.

00:28:28.000 I look at what Lindsey Graham and John McCain and Mitt Romney and the others are saying.

00:28:34.000 And then I look at what Donald Trump is saying.

00:28:35.000 And Donald Trump has been supporting the protesters.

00:28:38.000 And he's towing the same line now as he did in the General Assembly months ago when he said, Iran, the people of the world are watching.

00:28:45.000 You oppress your people and all that.

00:28:48.000 And I can't help but wonder if he's making a similar play with Iran that he did with Syria in April. 0.59

00:28:54.000 Because when he went out and actually attacked Syria with missiles, everybody said, okay, we're going to war with Syria.

00:29:00.000 There'll be 100,000 U.S. troops in Syria by June 1st.

00:29:03.000 It's all going down. 0.99

00:29:04.000 This is just like Iraq.

00:29:06.000 Donald Trump is complaining about the chemical weapons, complaining about the kids.

00:29:10.000 He's been sold out by the neocons.

00:29:12.000 Kushner's controlled the administration.

00:29:14.000 And it turned out that if you looked at what actually happened, the missile strike in Syria.

00:29:19.000 Made no difference, no tactical difference, no strategic difference, no diplomatic difference.

00:29:25.000 Not even Russia, not even Syria penalized the U.S. in any significant way.

00:29:31.000 And if you recall, the military base was up and operational within 24 hours after they were hit with 52 missiles.

00:29:39.000 And it turned out that if you also saw what happened at Mar a Lago, Donald Trump was hosting President Xi Jinping of China for the first face to face bilateral negotiations of his presidency.

00:29:49.000 And you saw his rhetoric on North Korea. 0.52

00:29:51.000 And it fell in line that basically what happened in Syria in April was kabuki political theater to deter North Korea. 0.59

00:29:58.000 It was to say, Syria used chemical weapons and I will strike them with a missile. 0.66

00:30:03.000 And essentially indirectly saying to North Korea and a little bit more to China that if North Korea uses weapons of mass destruction, we will do the same thing to them. 0.77

00:30:13.000 That was a show of force and ended up being this grand strategic play in the Pacific theater and not in the Middle East.

00:30:20.000 And I can't help but wonder if maybe something similar is going on here.

00:30:25.000 I'm not saying that.

00:30:25.000 I'm not asserting that 100%.

00:30:27.000 I can't help but wonder if perhaps that is the play because I can't see how, again, for the people that are saying Donald Trump is going to war in Iran, I cannot fathom how Donald Trump could be anti war his entire life.

00:30:43.000 The guy's been anti war for 40 years, he was against the Iraq war from the beginning, from 2003. 0.99

00:30:49.000 That's when it was going well. 0.51

00:30:51.000 That's when it was going well before it turned into the war from hell, before it turned into our second Vietnam, before it turned into a disaster. 0.91

00:30:58.000 And then it got better, and then it turned into ISIS.

00:31:01.000 He was against it all throughout.

00:31:02.000 He ran on embarrassing the Bush family and humiliating them about their debacle in Iraq.

00:31:09.000 And now, all of a sudden, he's going to go to war in Iran?

00:31:14.000 I don't think so.

00:31:15.000 I don't think so.

00:31:15.000 I think what he is doing is he's echoing a lot of the sentiments by the foreign policy establishment, by the John McCain's, the Lindsey Graham's.

00:31:24.000 He's paying lip service to them.

00:31:26.000 And what he is doing is actually brilliant.

00:31:28.000 It's a lot like what he just did for Israel with Jerusalem, it's symbolic, it's a gesture.

00:31:34.000 He's supporting the protesters in Iran.

00:31:36.000 What does that mean?

00:31:37.000 He said, I support the protesters.

00:31:40.000 What effect does that have?

00:31:42.000 There's no tangible effect.

00:31:44.000 It emboldens the protesters.

00:31:46.000 Maybe.

00:31:47.000 Can you measure that?

00:31:48.000 Not really.

00:31:49.000 Is that going to change the outcome?

00:31:50.000 Not really.

00:31:52.000 A protest that went from not challenging the Iranian regime to an existential threat to the Iranian regime?

00:31:59.000 Donald Trump's emboldening is not going to make that difference.

00:32:02.000 So, what he is doing, in my vision, and this is what I tend to believe, whether it's astroturfed or not, Donald Trump is paying lip service to the protesters, lip service to the foreign policy establishment.

00:32:15.000 And a gesture to create pressure.

00:32:17.000 This is the art of the deal.

00:32:19.000 Iran may think that Donald Trump is going to war. 0.56

00:32:22.000 Maybe North Korea does.

00:32:23.000 Maybe China does. 0.50

00:32:24.000 That's a good thing.

00:32:25.000 Maybe Russia does. 0.89

00:32:26.000 That's a very good thing. 0.73

00:32:28.000 If he can create that effect without blowing anybody up, without spending any money, actually saving money, withholding foreign aid, making these plays, and he can create that pressure on Iran, who has been very not good with their nuclear deal, who's been very naughty in the Middle East, fomenting unrest.

00:32:46.000 Building military bases south of Damascus.

00:32:49.000 If he could put that pressure on North Korea, who has just said that they have their nuclear arsenal completed, on China, who has still been shipping oil to North Korea, that's a very good thing. 0.96

00:33:01.000 Might want to think about that. 0.97

00:33:02.000 I was right about Syria in April.

00:33:04.000 A year ago, you know, now it seems like it was common sense for me to make that call, but you could not believe on that night, I believe it was April 13th of 2017, when you had.

00:33:17.000 The missile strike going out, you had the chemical weapons, and Donald Trump comes out and says, they crossed the red line, they'll pay the price.

00:33:24.000 And everybody from left to right was saying there's going to be war.

00:33:28.000 And either they were really in favor of it, yeah, you know, you punish those people who use chemical weapons, or they were really against it.

00:33:34.000 This is a rock 2.0.

00:33:35.000 I'm off the Trump train.

00:33:37.000 And I said, no, no, no.

00:33:38.000 Look at what's happening.

00:33:39.000 Look exactly at what's happening.

00:33:41.000 Don't pay attention to what people are saying.

00:33:43.000 Look at what Donald Trump did.

00:33:45.000 Look at what our involvement was.

00:33:47.000 It was tokenism.

00:33:48.000 It was a gesture.

00:33:50.000 No significant effect, no consequences.

00:33:53.000 And look who was intended to deter.

00:33:55.000 Look who was intended to show force against.

00:33:57.000 And you see what's been going on with Donald Trump, particularly between him and Iran.

00:34:03.000 And I think it's not so much about regime change or democracy.

00:34:07.000 I think it's a lot more about the nuclear deal between the United States and Iran and a lot more about North Korea and China.

00:34:16.000 Because if you recall, Donald Trump just tweeted out this week that China was caught shipping oil to North Korea and they refused to stop shipping oil to North Korea.

00:34:25.000 North Korea says they've completed their nuclear arsenal and Kim Jong un has a red button on his desk to blow up the United States.

00:34:33.000 Sanctions appear not to be working.

00:34:35.000 It doesn't appear that they're budging or moving towards any kind of consolation, reconciliation with the United States.

00:34:42.000 Iran, who has been doing fake missile tests but violating the spirit of the nuclear deal, which Donald Trump refused to certify a couple of weeks ago.

00:34:51.000 I think what you're seeing in Iran with Donald Trump emboldening these protests is perhaps a protest that will go nowhere and Donald Trump paying lip service to it in order to inspire fear and pressure his other adversaries.

00:35:05.000 That's my best guess right now.

00:35:07.000 I'm not going to, you know, for people that are going to say Nick is a shill, Nick is a Zionist, Nick is Bill Mitchell, Nick is this or that.

00:35:13.000 I think if you look at everything that's going on, I think if you look at Donald Trump in particular, at our country in particular, whether or not Israel or Saudi Arabia is hell bent on overthrowing the Iranian regime, I think if you look at Donald Trump, I think that's the best guess.

00:35:29.000 I think that's taking everything into account is that maybe Israel is, excuse me, astroturfing these protests.

00:35:37.000 Maybe Saudi Arabia has something to do with it.

00:35:39.000 I think Donald Trump is going to keep us out.

00:35:42.000 I don't think we'll go to war with Iran.

00:35:43.000 I don't think that's happening.

00:35:45.000 I think Donald Trump is maybe taking advantage of what's going on in the region.

00:35:49.000 Maybe he has a hand in it, but I think it's about pressure.

00:35:51.000 I think it's about making a deal.

00:35:52.000 And that's my best guess.

00:35:54.000 We'd like to get to your questions.

00:35:55.000 We've gone on about this for 40 minutes, and I know very information heavy, and there is a lot of guesswork, of course.

00:36:05.000 But I don't think it's flawed guesswork.

00:36:07.000 I think it's based.

00:36:08.000 On a pretty solid background of what's been happening in the region and also what President Trump has undertaken, what his style is and his ideology and his actions this year.

00:36:18.000 So, with that out of the way, we will look at your questions in the live chat.

00:36:22.000 We will look at your questions, comments.

00:36:25.000 We'll see what the masses are saying.

00:36:27.000 Do you agree with me?

00:36:28.000 Do you think I'm wrong?

00:36:29.000 Am I crazy?

00:36:30.000 Am I a shill?

00:36:31.000 Is this Bill Mitchell?

00:36:33.000 Is this 4D chess stuff?

00:36:34.000 You know, I love when people say 4D chess, like having a strategy is.

00:36:39.000 So improbable.

00:36:40.000 It's improbable to have a strategy that isn't saying and doing exactly the same thing.

00:36:45.000 So let's see.

00:36:46.000 What do we got here in our live chat? 1.00

00:36:54.000 The Daily Oven says, Live my ass. 0.99

00:36:58.000 Also, first, also good to see you back. 1.00

00:36:59.000 What do you mean, live?

00:37:00.000 Of course it's live.

00:37:01.000 Do you mean the show isn't live?

00:37:04.000 Not sure what you mean by that.

00:37:06.000 Third guy says, Cancel Netflix, boys.

00:37:09.000 You should.

00:37:10.000 You should do that.

00:37:11.000 I encourage everybody to cancel their Netflix.

00:37:13.000 Cancel Netflix.

00:37:14.000 It's terrible.

00:37:15.000 I'm on Netflix the other day and I'm flipping through all the different shows because I wanted, you know, I do have Netflix.

00:37:22.000 My parents have it because they watch all these shows.

00:37:26.000 I don't even want to get into that.

00:37:27.000 They watch all these shows.

00:37:28.000 But I wanted to watch Black Mirror the other night because, you know, I've been watching the trailers on YouTube for a while and I thought, you know, I don't know.

00:37:35.000 It's kind of interesting.

00:37:36.000 All right.

00:37:37.000 So I watched an episode the other day and while I'm watching it, I'm flipping through the other things on Netflix.

00:37:43.000 All these documentaries and all these movies.

00:37:45.000 And it's just so obvious.

00:37:48.000 They just don't even care anymore.

00:37:50.000 Television, Netflix, they don't even care if you know what's going on.

00:37:55.000 And what that tells us is that they are so confident in the brainwashing, they're so confident in the conditioning that they can show people exactly what they're doing, exactly the plan, everything, and people will refuse to believe their own eyes and their own family members.

00:38:12.000 That's how confident they are.

00:38:13.000 And that should tell you something about the people we're dealing with.

00:38:17.000 These are people that cannot be persuaded.

00:38:19.000 If you want to make an argument, it's everywhere. 1.00

00:38:21.000 You know, black crime. 1.00

00:38:23.000 Really? 1.00

00:38:23.000 That takes a lot of convincing? 1.00

00:38:25.000 If you're not convinced that black people are committing more crime and maybe there's something going on there, you can't convince these people. 1.00

00:38:31.000 These people have to be stopped. 1.00

00:38:33.000 They have to be stopped.

00:38:35.000 And, you know, take that for what you will. 0.68

00:38:37.000 But this group of people that the left is creating, conditioning, brainwashing, cultivating these protesters, these feminists, these people that show up with their little.

00:38:48.000 Signs and everything.

00:38:49.000 These are people that cannot be reasoned with.

00:38:52.000 And I've learned that in Boston.

00:38:54.000 When I was out there with these Antifa protests, I realized these are anarchists.

00:38:59.000 These are people who want to destroy objective truth.

00:39:03.000 And you can't debate these people.

00:39:04.000 They just have to be.

00:39:05.000 I don't know if they have to be, but they just have to be stopped.

00:39:10.000 Julius Caesar, but cancel your Netflix.

00:39:12.000 It's just so obvious.

00:39:13.000 Every show, every show, from that new cartoon they put out, which is sexualizing young children, to Bill Nye the Science Goy, which is like, what is it? 0.99

00:39:22.000 It's smoke weed, have sex with strangers. 0.98

00:39:25.000 That's a science show, right? 0.99

00:39:27.000 He went from Bill Nye the Science Guy, test tubes.

00:39:30.000 Look, you know, the world is round.

00:39:32.000 Okay.

00:39:33.000 To Bill Nye, smoke pot. 1.00

00:39:36.000 Have casual sex with strangers. 1.00

00:39:38.000 Israel's the number one. 1.00

00:39:40.000 So just very goofy, but cancel your Netflix.

00:39:43.000 Julius Caesar says Do we get the long awaited Cernovich disavowal yet?

00:39:49.000 You do.

00:39:50.000 You do.

00:39:50.000 Cernovich has gone after Paul Nealon and he's disavowed.

00:39:55.000 Disavowed.

00:39:56.000 I defended him for a long time, but we are rapidly approaching a point where people on the alt light have ceased being useful.

00:40:06.000 What has happened with the alt right is.

00:40:08.000 Is people in this movement have forced the issue on these people, which has actually been pretty effective.

00:40:13.000 They forced the issue on very particular things where the alt-right could be kind of coy about it before, where they could kind of pay it like indirect lip service. 0.86

00:40:23.000 They could be kind of silly about it. 0.96

00:40:25.000 You know, are they, are they not? 0.96

00:40:27.000 The alt-right has forced the issue on a lot of things with the alt-right where they have to say, are they for it or are they against it?

00:40:34.000 And that's not even so much them, but their handlers.

00:40:36.000 Their handlers that are pulling the puppet strings are saying, you have to disavow these people.

00:40:41.000 Pushing too far.

00:40:43.000 Their Truman Show boat has hit the painting, so to speak. 0.78

00:40:47.000 And so Paul Nealon is a perfect example of this, who says, you know what, look, I have no problem with Jews, but there comes a point when many people in this country are putting Israeli interests ahead of American interests. 0.98

00:41:00.000 There comes a point in this country where white people are getting the crap kicked out of them, and that same standard isn't applied to Jewish people. 0.93

00:41:07.000 And that's something that you're not allowed to say on Breitbart, that was founded in Israel. 0.98

00:41:11.000 That's not something you're allowed to say on Rebel Media, run by Ezra Levant, right?

00:41:17.000 And so he's forcing that issue.

00:41:18.000 He's forcing people to take a side.

00:41:20.000 As he's on this warpath, counter punching and going against these people, he's drawing more and more people to take a side, and they're showing their true colors.

00:41:29.000 So Cernovich is disavowed.

00:41:31.000 And it's at the point, Millennial Matt said a very smart thing yesterday on that stream with Baked Alaska.

00:41:37.000 He said, I don't care if you're not attacking Paul Nealon, if you're not endorsing Paul Nealon, if you're not retweeting Paul Nealon, if you're not talking about him, we're done with you too.

00:41:46.000 And I am in 100% agreement.

00:41:49.000 If you don't think that Paul Nealon is somebody worth supporting, we don't support you.

00:41:54.000 We're done with you.

00:41:55.000 You're not in the movement.

00:41:57.000 That's just the way it is.

00:41:58.000 There is nothing controversial about what Paul Nealon is saying.

00:42:01.000 There is nothing wrong with what Paul Nealon is saying. 0.59

00:42:04.000 Paul Nealon is the only one in the country, in politics, who has the balls to defend white people, even when it offends the wrong people. 0.85

00:42:12.000 And if you can't defend the guy who's defending you, we don't need you. 0.98

00:42:16.000 We don't need you.

00:42:17.000 So anybody who's not endorsing him, you're out.

00:42:20.000 And that includes Cernovich, who went after him.

00:42:24.000 Rick M says, Nick, what can I say to libertarians to get them to stop believing minorities will vote small government one day?

00:42:34.000 Well, I mean, you just got to look at the data.

00:42:36.000 Look at the data.

00:42:37.000 Pew Research 73% of Hispanic immigrants support big government.

00:42:43.000 That's from Pew Research.

00:42:46.000 83% of first generation Hispanic immigrants support big government.

00:42:50.000 And it goes down slightly for every generation.

00:42:53.000 I believe it's something like 75% for second generation and something like 65%. 0.54

00:42:58.000 For third generation, or maybe it's in the 50s, but every generation from first, second, and third generation Hispanics, they all support big government by a 20 or more margin than the general population. 0.87

00:43:10.000 That's Hispanics. 0.96

00:43:11.000 That's the majority of immigrants that are coming here.

00:43:15.000 Upwards of 15 million Mexicans coming to the country since the Hart Cellar Act passed in 1965, and their kids and so on, and they're going to vote for big government. 0.57

00:43:25.000 The data supports it. 0.99

00:43:27.000 And then look no further than the electoral results, where blacks.

00:43:31.000 Went 97% for Doug Jones in Alabama, where blacks went 98% for Barack Obama in 2008, where they went 91% for Hillary Clinton in 2016. 0.95

00:43:43.000 And Hispanics, you know, was a little better.

00:43:45.000 32% went for Donald Trump. 0.62

00:43:47.000 I'm sorry, not good enough.

00:43:49.000 You would have more votes, you would win more states with a marginal increase in our share of the white vote than you would in a dramatic increase in the share of the Hispanic vote. 0.85

00:44:00.000 It's arithmetic. 0.52

00:44:01.000 Show them that and the rest of the data.

00:44:03.000 Look at the countries where these people come from.

00:44:05.000 Really?

00:44:06.000 They come from Mexico.

00:44:08.000 People don't know this about Mexico.

00:44:10.000 Mexico was a one party state from the time of their revolution in the early 20th century until the year 2000, when actually it was Vicente Fox.

00:44:21.000 He was the first one who ran, who wasn't a part of the one party state that ran Mexico for 100 years.

00:44:27.000 But Mexico was a one party state for 100 years.

00:44:30.000 Corruption prevailed, patronage prevailed.

00:44:34.000 Socialist place that they're coming from.

00:44:36.000 You think they're going to come in from these banana republics and they're going to start voting for Ralph Waldo Emerson, for Henry David Thoreau and self reliance?

00:44:45.000 I don't think so. 0.97

00:44:46.000 Not going to happen.

00:44:47.000 That's the real American culture that they can never understand.

00:44:51.000 They weren't here for it. 0.55

00:44:53.000 So there it is.

00:44:55.000 And that's the other thing.

00:44:56.000 They will transform the culture.

00:44:58.000 For people that say, oh, well, America isn't what it was in the 19th century, you know, maybe.

00:45:04.000 But here's the issue.

00:45:05.000 When you had Italians coming in and Irish coming in and Germans coming in and Eastern Europeans, Russians were a big ethnic group coming in in the turn of the century.

00:45:16.000 They were coming in, but they were integrating into a massive population of people who had been there since the founding of the country.

00:45:24.000 So that's a big difference you're talking about.

00:45:27.000 Liberals like to say, oh, well, in the 20th century, you had Irish and Italians and Russians and Slavs coming in, and even had Chinese coming in and building the railroads.

00:45:38.000 It is all the difference in the world between maybe you have some people coming in and they integrate into a vast majority who had been here since 1790 and making it so that the vast majority is first generation immigrants.

00:45:51.000 Big difference. 0.62

00:45:52.000 You shouldn't have to say it, but all of a sudden you do.

00:45:55.000 In 1990, people don't know this either.

00:45:58.000 In 1990, 50% of the population was descended from people who had been here in 1790.

00:46:07.000 Half the population as recently as 1990 was descended from.

00:46:12.000 From the people who founded the country. 0.95

00:46:14.000 People have it like, oh, it's a nation of immigrants.

00:46:15.000 We're all the people who arrived here on the Mayflower. 1.00

00:46:18.000 They're like nothing.

00:46:19.000 No, no, no.

00:46:20.000 They were the majority for a long time.

00:46:22.000 Only very recently were they displaced.

00:46:26.000 So much of the population growth from 1790 to 1965 was organic and not from immigration.

00:46:33.000 That is a lie.

00:46:35.000 Read Sam Huntington's Who Are We?

00:46:37.000 Great book on immigration.

00:46:40.000 John F. John Favids.

00:46:43.000 You owned it on Lauren Southern's live stream.

00:46:45.000 Bravo.

00:46:46.000 Well, thank you very much. 1.00

00:46:47.000 It was my pleasure going up against the based trannies. 1.00

00:46:53.000 Reformed conservative with the single shekel. 1.00

00:46:55.000 Thank you very much. 0.99

00:46:56.000 Joe Cracker, glad I can finally give my shekels to you and not those greedy Appalachian communities again. 1.00

00:47:03.000 Welcome back. 1.00

00:47:03.000 All right. 1.00

00:47:04.000 Well, thank you.

00:47:05.000 Hope that's a little bit tongue in cheek.

00:47:07.000 But on the subject of the Christian Appalachian Project, we raised, I don't have the exact number in front of me, but I was looking at the analytics the other day, and I believe it was just over $1,500.

00:47:18.000 So we raised a pretty nice sum $1,500 for the poor, the needy.

00:47:25.000 Needy maybe has bad connotations, but I mean, people in need.

00:47:28.000 In Appalachia, and we will be delivering that check to them as soon as Google releases those funds, I believe in the middle of the month.

00:47:37.000 So we'll keep you updated on that.

00:47:38.000 But big thank you to everybody that donated in December.

00:47:41.000 All those proceeds will be going to the CAP, and that's a very good thing.

00:47:45.000 Hopefully, they will have it, it'll be a nice Christmas surprise for them.

00:47:50.000 Bill Raffi says, What about Paul Nealon, though?

00:47:53.000 Well, we did a whole show about him last week, and we've had him on the show.

00:47:59.000 And like I said, on the Cernovich question, Paul Nealon, he is transforming right wing politics.

00:48:05.000 He is at the frontier of how far we can push what we've discovered together in the past couple of years with the rise of the alt right.

00:48:16.000 He is a pioneer in taking this message from the internet and turning it into something that could have real, tangible results, electoral, legislative results.

00:48:26.000 And that is a profound thing.

00:48:29.000 I don't care if he wins.

00:48:30.000 I don't, you know, that's not what's important.

00:48:32.000 People are saying he's killed his chances of winning.

00:48:35.000 He's running in Paul Ryan's district.

00:48:37.000 Paul Ryan has the biggest war chest in Congress.

00:48:39.000 They've been electing him in the first district of Wisconsin for 25 years.

00:48:44.000 Nealon won 14% in 2016.

00:48:47.000 That's not saying anything more than, of course, we want him to win.

00:48:51.000 We're going to push as hard as we can.

00:48:52.000 We're going to see as far as we can get.

00:48:55.000 But people who are saying we have to play it safe, we have to play it, you know, conservatively, they are wrong.

00:49:01.000 They are wrong.

00:49:03.000 It's about seeing how far we can go with this.

00:49:05.000 That's what's important here.

00:49:07.000 And I wish him the best.

00:49:08.000 I hope he does win.

00:49:08.000 And I'll be there campaigning.

00:49:10.000 And we want him to win.

00:49:12.000 But to say that we should be running a conventional campaign, if you're running a conventional campaign, I'm sorry, you'll lose.

00:49:18.000 You'll lose.

00:49:19.000 It won't happen.

00:49:22.000 So I believe in what Paul Nealon is doing.

00:49:24.000 It's really something special.

00:49:26.000 Crashed Pelican, NGE.

00:49:29.000 I like both endings the show and the end of Evangelion movie.

00:49:33.000 I still have to watch 2.0 and 3.0.

00:49:35.000 It's kind of brilliant, to be honest.

00:49:37.000 Thanks for the recommendation.

00:49:38.000 Yes, it's really something.

00:49:41.000 I love NGE.

00:49:42.000 And, you know, I didn't like the first ending at first.

00:49:45.000 The last two episodes are very cryptic.

00:49:48.000 And if you're not familiar with kind of the history of it, when the last two episodes came out in Japan, there was like civil unrest.

00:49:56.000 They were sending death threats to the creator.

00:49:59.000 They were sending, I think, people tried to kill the guy.

00:50:03.000 These people were so upset.

00:50:04.000 It was such a popular series.

00:50:05.000 And, They didn't get the ending that they expected.

00:50:08.000 I really enjoyed it.

00:50:10.000 But then, End of Evangelion was really cool, too, really great.

00:50:14.000 But yeah, you're welcome.

00:50:15.000 I encourage everybody to check out NGE.

00:50:17.000 And I'm not a big anime guy, but that was a very fine movie.

00:50:22.000 Reformed conservative, choose between Dirt Kevin and Alyssa.

00:50:25.000 Oh, you can't do that.

00:50:26.000 To me, we love them both.

00:50:28.000 We love both Alyssa and Dirt Kevin, the YouTube billionaire.

00:50:33.000 Both good friends on the Discord.

00:50:35.000 If you don't know what that is, you got to get in the Discord.

00:50:37.000 It's so much fun in the Discord.

00:50:39.000 We have a great time, and somebody I hope will post a link here while we're on the show in the live chat.

00:50:45.000 But if you want to get on the Discord, it's lots of fun.

00:50:47.000 We do our, we play games, we post memes, we BTFO pagans, people who read audiobooks, lots of fun.

00:50:56.000 And there's your plug for the Discord there.

00:50:59.000 Reformed conservative read Jacob Wolves' Iran tweets live on air.

00:51:04.000 I won't do that, but we are having him on to debate about Israel in the coming weeks.

00:51:09.000 I talked to him in a DM group, and we're going to set that up sometime soon.

00:51:14.000 We'll be having him on for another Israel debate.

00:51:17.000 That'll be a big hoot and a holler, and we'll be having Laurel Loomer on.

00:51:22.000 On Thursday, which I announced on Nationalist Aview, but we'll talk about that more tomorrow, I suppose.

00:51:27.000 I forgot about that.

00:51:28.000 Forgot to plug that.

00:51:30.000 Jeff Sheldon, Paul Nealon did nothing wrong.

00:51:32.000 It's true, nothing wrong.

00:51:34.000 The guy's a patriot.

00:51:36.000 Julius Caesar still supports Bannon candidates versus the GOPE?

00:51:41.000 Yes, yes, I do.

00:51:43.000 Bannon is not, he's not our guy, but Bannon is pushing us in the right direction, and for that, support him.

00:51:51.000 If it comes to our guy versus his guy, we support our guy.

00:51:54.000 But if it's a Steve Bannon candidate versus a GOPE candidate, we support him.

00:51:58.000 Simple as that.

00:52:00.000 He used us, we'll use him.

00:52:03.000 He used us to further his interests, and now we will use him to further our interests.

00:52:08.000 We'll put his guys in office if there's nobody better to run.

00:52:12.000 If we have a Paul Nealon, we're going for Paul Nealon.

00:52:15.000 But if it's a Jeff Flake versus Kelly Ward, we back Kelly Ward.

00:52:20.000 I don't understand people who say we have to turn our noses up at Kelly Ward because we don't like everything she stands for. 0.83

00:52:24.000 She's better than Jeff Flake. 0.96

00:52:27.000 And, you know, hopefully we'll get better than Kelly Ward one day.

00:52:31.000 Michael, dangerous.

00:52:32.000 Nick, thoughts on Steve Bannon's disavowal of Paul Nealon saying he's dead to us?

00:52:36.000 Well, you know, with Paul Nealon, or excuse me, with Steve Bannon, it's a little bit different because Steve Bannon has a lot to lose.

00:52:45.000 And that's the only reason why I give him a little bit more.

00:52:51.000 I don't know.

00:52:51.000 I give him the benefit of the doubt.

00:52:53.000 Only because you look at a guy like Alex Jones, Alex Jones doesn't endorse Paul Nealon.

00:52:58.000 And that makes my blood boil because Alex Jones owns his own business.

00:53:03.000 He runs his own thing, his own network, media empire.

00:53:06.000 He's doing very well for himself.

00:53:08.000 He will go out there and say Sandy Hook was a hoax, but he won't go out there and endorse Paul Nealon.

00:53:13.000 He'll go out there and say 9 11 was some kind of a conspiracy, but he won't say that Israel is exerting undue influence over our government.

00:53:24.000 That's unacceptable.

00:53:25.000 That's unacceptable.

00:53:26.000 You know, if you are going to go out there, And you're going to discredit us with these wacky conspiracy theories, which, you know, some of them may have some credence, but I mean, you get what I'm saying.

00:53:36.000 If he thinks that he's going after Israel, that's going to harm him or harm his movement, but he'll go out and say this other wacky stuff.

00:53:43.000 You know, obviously something else is going on there.

00:53:46.000 So people like that, I disavow completely.

00:53:49.000 Steve Bannon, you have to look at it like what he's trying to accomplish, which is he's trying to raise millions of dollars to run candidates for the Senate and the House. 0.98

00:53:59.000 He's going to need Jewish money, unfortunately. 0.91

00:54:01.000 That's how the game is played right now. 0.99

00:54:04.000 We'd like to change that.

00:54:05.000 That's how it is right now.

00:54:07.000 And so he has to play it.

00:54:09.000 He can't be crypto.

00:54:10.000 He can't be winking at us.

00:54:13.000 They will pick up on that.

00:54:14.000 They will always pick up on that.

00:54:16.000 The Mercer family was the same way. 0.74

00:54:18.000 And so is it hypocritical? 0.90

00:54:20.000 Is it unscrupulous? 0.50

00:54:23.000 Yes.

00:54:24.000 Not ideal either.

00:54:26.000 But I think that's why I give him a little bit more of the benefit of the doubt, where he's trying to raise millions of dollars.

00:54:32.000 That's the way to do it these days.

00:54:34.000 There's, you know, name me. 1.00

00:54:35.000 Excuse me, name me the billionaire benefactor that's going to bankroll the America First Legislative Revolution of 2018, and I'll say he's a shill, he's a hypocrite. 0.99

00:54:45.000 However, that is what he's trying to accomplish. 0.95

00:54:48.000 I don't know, is it worth it?

00:54:49.000 Is it worth Steve Bannon giving Paul Nealon his endorsement and sacrificing lots of good candidates who could get us ending chain migration, build the wall, and on and on?

00:54:59.000 You have to look at it that way.

00:55:00.000 Too many people here have these unrealistic expectations, and I know that doesn't sound, that doesn't play well.

00:55:07.000 You know, people who tell me that I'm like a shill or whatever, I'm trying to tell you the truth.

00:55:12.000 It'd be very easy for me to get on here every day and say, Steve Bannon isn't naming the Jew. 0.91

00:55:17.000 I hate Steve Bannon. 1.00

00:55:18.000 Steve Bannon's a hypocrite and a shill. 1.00

00:55:20.000 But that wouldn't be true. 1.00

00:55:22.000 That wouldn't be looking at the whole perspective of it.

00:55:25.000 A lot of people would, yeah, yeah, you get him, Nick, you tell him.

00:55:29.000 That would play really well.

00:55:30.000 That would play really well.

00:55:31.000 It would be so much easier for me to say.

00:55:33.000 I would get no heat for saying that.

00:55:35.000 Maybe one or two people would say, Nick, you know, you're not looking at it.

00:55:38.000 But the vast majority of people would say, yeah, Nick, you tell him.

00:55:43.000 But you have to look at the whole context of it.

00:55:45.000 And I really resent people who.

00:55:48.000 It's the same outrage machine on the alt right as it is everywhere else.

00:55:51.000 You know, Fox News every year, every day of the past eight years Barack Obama, we got to impeach him. 0.96

00:55:57.000 He's a Muslim socialist. 1.00

00:55:58.000 I mean, doesn't it get old hearing the same shit? 1.00

00:56:01.000 So that's my take on Steve Bannon. 0.99

00:56:03.000 We don't like it.

00:56:04.000 It's not ideal.

00:56:05.000 We wish he would do it a different way.

00:56:06.000 But given the context, given everything he has to lose, given some of these other things going on, I think he has to make it clear to his donors that he has no connection whatsoever to Neil and he did kind of help Neil and out.

00:56:21.000 In 2016, as much as he could.

00:56:24.000 But I think now that Neilan has gone off the reservation a little bit, and that's his prerogative.

00:56:29.000 But then it's Steve Bannon's prerogative to say, well, that's too far for what I'm trying to do.

00:56:32.000 And so people say they're okay with different approaches, and then they don't like someone's approach, and they say, that's whatever.

00:56:39.000 So let's see.

00:56:42.000 And I think that is our last question here, and we will call it an evening.

00:56:45.000 Perfect timing at 8 o'clock, at 8 o'clock sharp.

00:56:49.000 And so that's our first show of January 1st, 2018.

00:56:52.000 So much going on in the world.

00:56:54.000 Things going on in Iran, things going on in Wisconsin, in the Middle East, in Asia.

00:56:59.000 And we hope we have lots of great shows for you in the rest of 2018.

00:57:03.000 Wishing you all the best.

00:57:28.000 2017, I called exactly nothing wrong except for Roy Moore, but that's TBA.

00:57:37.000 Called everything right in 2017, and the information that I'm providing to you, I just don't hear it anywhere else.

00:57:44.000 I don't hear it anywhere else.

00:57:45.000 That's why we're here doing it.

00:57:46.000 People ask, you know, why are you doing your show in the basement, whatever?

00:57:50.000 It's because people need to hear this.

00:57:52.000 This is a view that is not articulated.

00:57:54.000 This is not, I like Ben Shapiro, do my thinking for me.

00:57:57.000 This is, here are the details.

00:57:58.000 You're not going to hear it anywhere else.
