America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Why Turkey Invaded Syria | America First Ep. 91

00:00:01.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:02.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:04.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:08.000 Lots going on in the world today.

00:00:11.000 Lots to get into.

00:00:12.000 Of course, you know, I don't know if we're going to have to move the studio.

00:00:18.000 We're going to have to have a much bigger budget if we're going to transition here because normally we do the show from Chicago.

00:00:26.000 Normally we do the show from Chicago.

00:00:28.000 I do it at home, and it's fun and everything.

00:00:31.000 But lately, We've been shooting so many of these episodes from Vindication City, where I am vindicated, of course, on all kinds of political affairs.

00:00:41.000 We might have to pay a lot of money to ship everything over there, and we might just start doing the show permanently from that city because, you know, number one, the taxes are less.

00:00:50.000 Number two, I mean, we're there just about every other day now.

00:00:53.000 So, of course, the America First program and me, moreover, Nick Fuentes, 100% right, 100% vindicated on the DACA deal, on the DACA deal, on the government shutdown.

00:01:07.000 What I had been predicting for two weeks finally happened, of course, this weekend, and it played out with a stopgap measure being passed in the Senate this afternoon, 81 to 18 votes.

00:01:21.000 And it passed in the House shortly afterward.

00:01:23.000 It will be signed by the president sometime this week.

00:01:25.000 We'll be getting into that.

00:01:27.000 And then, of course, Syria, a lot of interesting things going on in the Syrian Civil War, or the conclusion of it now escalating into a more regional conflict.

00:01:37.000 And we'll take a look at what's been going on there with the Turkish incursion.

00:01:41.000 Into Afrin.

00:01:42.000 And I drew a nice little map here on my whiteboard.

00:01:46.000 We will look at that.

00:01:47.000 You know, I got to tell you, it's been a long day for me.

00:01:50.000 I went to bed last night at about 9 o'clock.

00:01:52.000 I wake up at 1 a.m.

00:01:54.000 And, you know, I stay up.

00:01:55.000 I read a couple of books last night and then I get a fresh start at like 6, 7 a.m.

00:02:00.000 And I got to tell you, there's just so many hours in the day when you wake up at 6 or 7 like a normal person, as I intend to do.

00:02:09.000 You know, I was doing all kinds of things today, running all kinds of errands, going to the store, doing things online, this and that.

00:02:16.000 And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, wow, there's just so much.

00:02:19.000 I got everything done I needed to do today, and it was only 2 o'clock.

00:02:23.000 I had time for a nap.

00:02:24.000 I had time to do all kinds of other things, to look at some legal affairs and everything else.

00:02:28.000 And so, a very productive day.

00:02:31.000 It's really something when you get all those hours in there.

00:02:34.000 But we have a big show for you.

00:02:37.000 Some housekeeping things before we get into the news.

00:03:01.000 You don't get to see my mug and everything.

00:03:03.000 But if you do want the podcast format, if you're trying to watch it at work, or rather listen to it, if you're listening to it on your way to school, on your way to whatever, and you don't want to have the YouTube video open if it consumes too much data, whatever the reason may be.

00:03:44.000 $5 a month on maker support.

00:03:46.000 The link is down below.

00:03:48.000 In addition, excuse me, we have now an America First PO box.

00:03:53.000 Right here where I am in Vindication City.

00:03:56.000 Normally, you would have to send it over to Washington.

00:03:58.000 And, you know, a couple of people sent things over to Washington, which James has still not forwarded over to me, which is kind of a slight, but I don't think I care so much.

00:04:07.000 But we opened up our own P.O. box.

00:04:09.000 If you want to email me, or rather, if you want to mail me something, a letter, if you want to send me, I don't know, a personal written note, a love letter, a gift, a book, a song, a CD, I mean, who knows?

00:04:22.000 Don't send me mail bombs.

00:04:23.000 Don't send me, you know, any kind of chemical substances.

00:04:27.000 But if you want to, I don't know if I want to put it out there.

00:04:29.000 I'm not sure.

00:04:30.000 I'm a little bit paranoid that.

00:04:32.000 One day I'll go to check up on it, and somebody will be waiting for me in the elevator there, like in drive, and I'll have to stomp somebody's face.

00:04:39.000 And so, if you want, I think you could just email me.

00:04:42.000 I'll give you the P.O. Box address.

00:04:44.000 If not, I'll just put it on my website.

00:04:46.000 I'll consult with people and see how that works.

00:04:48.000 I've never had a P.O. Box before.

00:04:50.000 But with that out of the way, with all of that, I mean, the show is really improving.

00:04:54.000 I got some of my computer parts, came in the mail this weekend.

00:04:58.000 I got my power supply, my memory, and what is that?

00:05:04.000 AB350M?

00:05:05.000 What is that?

00:05:06.000 An ASROC.

00:05:07.000 AB350M.

00:05:08.000 I think that's the motherboard.

00:05:10.000 So we got a couple of components for the computer.

00:05:12.000 The rest are on the way the GPU, the CPU, you know, the terabyte Google Bopple.

00:05:19.000 You know, it's all coming in the mail.

00:05:20.000 We're building the computer.

00:05:21.000 I went to Office Max to look at building a new set.

00:05:24.000 We're going to get a desk.

00:05:25.000 We're going to get some shelves, maybe get rid of the green screen.

00:05:28.000 Maybe do some other displays.

00:05:30.000 So support the show.

00:05:31.000 We're going to really increase the quality of it now that we have loosened control of the funds from the you know who's who are running the other company.

00:05:41.000 But With that out of the way, we got to get into.

00:05:44.000 Sorry for all the housekeeping things, but we're moving onward and upward.

00:05:47.000 I guess it's a big housekeeping for the beginning of the week.

00:05:50.000 But we have some big news for you today.

00:05:53.000 The first thing we're going to talk about, of course, is the government shutdown.

00:05:58.000 So if you recall, January 19th or Friday was the deadline for the Congress to pass a continuing resolution.

00:06:06.000 And if you recall on Friday, or on Thursday rather, I explained the history of the government shutdown, how the budget process is supposed to work normally.

00:06:15.000 And since 2016, we've been operating on continuing resolutions where the government, or rather the Congress, has not appropriated money for an entire fiscal year since 2016.

00:06:25.000 So we've been operating off of continuing resolutions where the government, in shorter periods of time, six, nine months, sometimes very short, sometimes a matter of weeks, they fund the government for a set amount of time through a continuing resolution.

00:06:38.000 Well, the government was set to run out of money on January 19th.

00:06:41.000 They needed to pass a continuing resolution by midnight, and they failed to.

00:06:46.000 If you recall, To get a funding bill passed in the Senate, you need 60 votes.

00:06:52.000 And the reason for that, some people have pointed out in the news media lately, there's only five things in the Constitution where the Senate is required, a supermajority is required in the Senate to pass.

00:07:03.000 Things like impeachment, things like passing an amendment, and so on.

00:07:06.000 There's only five things that are constitutionally mandated by the Senate to require a supermajority of 60 votes.

00:07:14.000 However, because of the filibuster rule in the Senate, in order to invoke cloture and end the threat of a filibuster, You know, this is something that gives the minority party a little bit of power.

00:07:24.000 They can say, you know, if you don't have 60 votes, we're going to filibuster and you won't be able to move in the Senate.

00:07:31.000 We'll basically freeze the Senate.

00:07:32.000 In order to invoke cloture to end a filibuster, you need 60 votes.

00:07:36.000 And so that's why on Friday the government shut down because although the Republicans had 51 votes plus Mike Pence as the tiebreaker, as the president of the Senate, they needed 60 votes to invoke cloture to end the filibuster and thus pass a continuing resolution.

00:07:53.000 So on Friday.

00:07:54.000 The House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution to fund the government, and this included missile defense funding.

00:08:00.000 This included CHIP, which is the Children's Health Insurance Program, among other things.

00:08:05.000 It failed in the Senate in a late night vote on Thursday, failed to garner the 60 votes required because, of course, the Democrats wanted to shut down the government to leverage the Trump administration.

00:08:18.000 The Democrats are trying in earnest to use their leverage as the minority party in the Senate to get President Trump to give legal protections to the DACA.

00:08:28.000 He rescinded DACA.

00:08:30.000 I believe it was either August or September.

00:08:32.000 I still don't have that date in front of you.

00:08:34.000 I've been saying, you know, I think it's August or September for the whole week.

00:08:37.000 Haven't bothered to check.

00:08:38.000 I believe it was September where President Trump rescinded DACA, which is, of course, the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program.

00:08:46.000 There's about 600,000 applicants, about 1.3 million who are eligible for those protections.

00:08:53.000 And he rescinded that.

00:08:54.000 And every day since he rescinded those legal protections, about 1,000 new recipients of that program are eligible for.

00:09:01.000 Rather ineligible to reapply and thus subject to the threat of deportation.

00:09:05.000 Program expires on March 5th.

00:09:07.000 So the Democrats thought that they would threaten to shut down the government.

00:09:12.000 They would cause this big political circus, make the Trump administration look bad, look like he can't get budgets passed, look like he can't get his Congress working, shut down the government to force his hand and make some kind of a compromise on DACA, give legal protection mandated by Congress to the DACA recipients.

00:09:30.000 It's important to note, if you recall, that President Obama.

00:09:35.000 Established DACA through executive order because he could not get the votes in the Congress.

00:09:41.000 Even in a Democrat controlled Senate, Barack Obama couldn't get the votes to pass DACA in the Congress.

00:09:48.000 He needed to do it through an executive order.

00:09:50.000 That's important to note because you understand that President Trump rescinded DACA through an executive order because it was established by an executive order.

00:09:58.000 The Democrats want him to reestablish those legal protections with an act of Congress, which is something that even Barack Obama couldn't do because it's not popular.

00:10:07.000 Because the American people don't want to give legal protections to these people.

00:10:12.000 So that's sort of the setup.

00:10:13.000 The government shuts down on Friday, and all sorts of non essential government functions shut down.

00:10:19.000 President Trump played it up really well, in my opinion.

00:10:24.000 Him, Senate Majority Leader McConnell, and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan were all out there on Thursday evening with a very consistent, unified, and strong message saying the Democrats are responsible for the shutdown.

00:10:36.000 The Democrats have shut down the government.

00:10:38.000 And really, what made the messaging so powerful here.

00:10:42.000 Was what was at stake in the continuing resolution?

00:10:45.000 This was pure political brilliance on the part of the Republicans.

00:10:50.000 If it were merely a continuing resolution, I don't think it would have had the same effect.

00:10:55.000 If Republicans passed a continuing resolution and they said, Democrats don't want to fund the government, they're holding us hostage over DACA, I would say, okay, that would probably appeal to the American people.

00:11:06.000 The idea that the Democrats are going to force a government shutdown, they're going to be the obstructionists, be reflexively anti Trump.

00:11:13.000 In order to give protections to illegal immigrants, I would say that's a pretty good argument.

00:11:18.000 I would say if that goes on the news, if Trump's tweets get shown on the news, that would be a pretty strong and persuasive argument for a moderate or an independent.

00:11:28.000 Add into this what was included in the continuing resolution.

00:11:31.000 What was added as a sweetener and also possibly a dampener for the Democrats in the House bill to continue funding the government was, like I said earlier, children's health insurance and missile defense.

00:11:46.000 So, if you didn't have that in there, if it was a plain continuing resolution that said fund the government, I would say persuasive.

00:11:52.000 But now the Republican argument became, in light of what they included in the continuing resolution on Thursday that they passed through the House, the argument became not just Democrats are holding the government hostage for the sake of illegal immigrants, but rather Democrats are holding children's health insurance funding and missile defense hostage over illegal immigrants.

00:12:15.000 That is a much stronger argument than just, well, you know, Democrats are shutting down the government, and so what?

00:12:21.000 National Park Service is affected, so what?

00:12:24.000 A couple of non essential government employees are affected, so what?

00:12:27.000 I mean, this is what happened in 2013.

00:12:29.000 Tourists don't get to see the monuments.

00:12:32.000 And of course, when the government shuts down, it doesn't really shut down.

00:12:35.000 The federal government, the cabinet gets to choose, or rather, the agencies get to choose which discretionary funds are taken away with the less money.

00:12:44.000 So, under Obama, It was a big political play to shut down the monument.

00:12:48.000 So it was very visible.

00:12:49.000 It was very, you know, look at what Republicans are doing with Trump.

00:12:52.000 He pulled funding on things like military.

00:12:56.000 He pulled funding on things like the White House switchboard where he couldn't get through to give a comment to the president.

00:13:02.000 And if you look at the provisions of this continuing resolution, it made it so much more impactful that the argument was Democrats are shutting down the government in favor of legal immigrants at the expense of children who need health insurance and our great military who's trying to watch the Super Bowl.

00:13:18.000 Our great military is trying to keep us safe with missile defense.

00:13:21.000 I mean, really persuasive stuff.

00:13:23.000 And so the president, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, were hitting the Democrats over this all weekend very consistently, very strongly, coherently with the same message.

00:13:33.000 And you have to credit Republicans for this, whereas Republicans for a long time have been terrible, piss poor at messaging, piss poor at consistency, at coherence between the three leaders, between the three kings.

00:13:49.000 This time, they've really done a good job in terms of the play with CHIP and with the children's health insurance and with missile defense, and also with the messaging.

00:13:57.000 It was consistent, it was out there, it was very good.

00:13:59.000 And the polling reflects this.

00:14:01.000 If you looked at the polling before the shutdown and after the shutdown, of course, the public at large still blamed the Republicans marginally more before and after.

00:14:10.000 And this is to be expected as, number one, the polling places, of course, are going to, I mean, they mess with the polling in terms of the question they ask, in terms of the people they sample, but also because the Democrats, of course, control the media.

00:14:24.000 And so it's expected that Republicans will be blamed marginally more than the Democrats for the shutdown when NBC, CNN, you know, every major station is saying Trump's shut down, Republican shutdown.

00:14:36.000 Even on social media, the way they conspire, the hashtag for three days was Trump shutdown, even though that was totally inorganic.

00:14:45.000 Schumer shutdown was probably bigger in terms of sheer numbers.

00:14:48.000 That's to be expected.

00:14:49.000 But compared to 2013, the margins of Republicans being blamed to Democrats was much more favorable to our president.

00:14:57.000 Moreover, if you look at the real clear politics average of the general ballot polling for 2018, so they ask people, are I going to vote Republican or Democrat in 2018 for senators and for the House?

00:15:09.000 The Democrat lead collapsed from 13 points on December 21st to eight points as of this week.

00:15:17.000 And it's a little bit less than eight, it's about 7.8 points that they're leading in the general ballot polling, the polling average on the RCP.

00:15:26.000 So obviously, it's been effective.

00:15:29.000 Now, this afternoon, this is the development this afternoon.

00:15:32.000 Finally, the Senate passed a stopgap measure which will fund the government for the next three weeks.

00:15:38.000 So it'll fund the government for three weeks, and in early February, I believe it's February 8th, the government runs out of money again and shuts down again.

00:15:46.000 The reason they passed the temporary stopgap measure is so that in this three week period, the Republicans and Democrats can negotiate on a long term budget fix and on a fix for DACA.

00:15:58.000 Democrats only compromised and funded the government this afternoon because they got their word.

00:16:04.000 They got word from Mitch McConnell.

00:16:06.000 A promise from Mitch McConnell that he would negotiate on DACA over the next three weeks, and then they will have something hopefully before February 8th.

00:16:15.000 And here is the brilliance of this play Democrats have lost both sides.

00:16:21.000 They've lost the Republicans, they've lost the Democrats.

00:16:25.000 Because here's what happens in this shutdown this weekend people who were for the shutdown, people who were for Democrats shutting down the government, they said, We have to have a fix for DACA.

00:16:35.000 It's urgent.

00:16:36.000 We have to have it happen. 0.79

00:16:37.000 People on the right side said, you know what, Democrats are shutting down the government in favor of illegal aliens. 0.66

00:16:43.000 Well, on the right side of things, the Democrats have already failed.

00:16:45.000 They're reflexively anti Trump, they're obstructionist, they favor illegal immigrants, non citizens over citizens, and moreover, children and veterans, which is devastating.

00:16:57.000 And they shut down the government, and it looks pretty needless because they only did it for three days.

00:17:01.000 So, you know, maybe the independents, maybe the more right leaning people would have said, Okay, I guess it kind of made sense.

00:17:09.000 If Democrats really cared about DACA and it went on for a couple of weeks, well, they really cared about it, but it was only three days.

00:17:16.000 So that it was only three days, that the Democrats saw how politically terrible it was, and then they reversed course, it basically proves the right side of the aisle correct.

00:17:26.000 It proves independents and the moderates correct in that this was totally a political circus.

00:17:31.000 If they really cared, would they have stopped after only three days with no deal and merely a promise to make out a deal?

00:17:38.000 Absolutely not.

00:17:39.000 So, by funding the government today, the Democrats have lost the right side.

00:17:43.000 They've lost the moderates, the independents.

00:17:46.000 On the left side, you have the people who are for the shutdown, who said, you know what, it's urgent.

00:17:51.000 We have to save the DACA recipients.

00:17:53.000 We have to save these late childhood arrivals. 1.00

00:17:56.000 We have to save these people.

00:17:58.000 They need to be shielded from deportation from ICE.

00:18:01.000 Well, to these people, the Democrats have just caved.

00:18:05.000 They flopped.

00:18:06.000 They choked.

00:18:07.000 The Democrats who really cared about DACA, who really cared.

00:18:10.000 And wanted the Democrats, and by the way, I predicted this, who really wanted the DACA fix, they see the Democrats as having folded after only three days.

00:18:19.000 The Democrats threatened and threatened and threatened.

00:18:22.000 They said, we'll shut it down, we'll hold strong, we're not caving in, you'll never get a wall, you'll never get an end to chain migration, you'll never get an end to the diversity visa lottery system.

00:18:32.000 We'll hold out until we get our DACA fix.

00:18:35.000 And to the left side of the aisle that wanted this to happen, the Democrats caved after three days.

00:18:41.000 And why?

00:18:42.000 They didn't get any deal.

00:18:43.000 They didn't get any DACA fix.

00:18:45.000 And in the Republican bill, the Goodlot bill, which would be the starting point for negotiation, the DACA recipients don't get a pathway to citizenship.

00:18:52.000 And about half of them would be ineligible to reapply for the new program.

00:18:56.000 So for the right side, it proves that they were just obstructionists.

00:19:00.000 They're just playing politics and playing politics with children's health insurance and the military.

00:19:05.000 And for the left, it chills that the Democrats were unserious to begin with and were demagoguing on the issue.

00:19:12.000 So the Democrats have completely collapsed in this.

00:19:15.000 Anybody who would have come out for them in 2018, as of this government shutdown, they're not coming out for the Democrats.

00:19:22.000 On the left side, all that enthusiasm, all that outrage.

00:19:27.000 You know, you remember on 2016?

00:19:29.000 I remember marching in Boston with the Women's March and some of these Antifa marches, which I was there for in the Boston Common, marching down the main streets in Boston.

00:19:40.000 I remember the enthusiasm, the energy after the election in November, the energy after the inauguration, people saying, We're going to be out here every weekend, millions of us, and it'll grow to hundreds of millions.

00:19:53.000 And then we're going to take back the Senate to the House in 2018 and the White House in 2020.

00:19:59.000 And where's that enthusiasm going to be?

00:20:02.000 In 2018, where's it going to be?

00:20:04.000 Your taxes are going to be lower.

00:20:06.000 Your expenses are going to be lower.

00:20:08.000 You're going to be making more money.

00:20:10.000 The economy's at record highs.

00:20:11.000 The stock market's at record highs.

00:20:13.000 North Korea will cease to be a problem.

00:20:15.000 ISIS is eliminated.

00:20:17.000 And on top of that, who are you going to vote for?

00:20:19.000 The Democrats?

00:20:20.000 Are they going to be able to energize this far left base? 0.99

00:20:24.000 They see Trump as a fascist and a Nazi. 0.96

00:20:27.000 And who are they going to vote for? 0.96

00:20:28.000 Chuck Schumer, who just caved on DACA, who just, in their eyes, allowed Donald Trump to round up these youngsters?

00:20:34.000 In their eyes, The children, even though the average age is 24 in the program, in their eyes, Trump's going to be able to round up all the DACA kids and send them home in buses and they'll be crying.

00:20:44.000 They're not going to be able to turn out.

00:20:46.000 So, a major, a catastrophic defeat for the Democrats this weekend.

00:20:52.000 And not only do you have that, not only is this an unequivocal, I mean, this is a 100% crushing victory over the Democrats.

00:21:01.000 Not only do you have this, but in February 8th, you have a three week period between now and February 8th.

00:21:08.000 Where the Democrats are going to decide are they going to give Donald Trump an end to chain migration, an end to the diversity visa lottery system, and $18 billion for a wall, among other things, give him everything they want, everything they said they would never give him, or are they going to shut down the government again?

00:21:27.000 And here's the beauty of it February 8th rolls around, and let's say there's no deal.

00:21:31.000 Let's say Democrats don't give Trump the three provisions that he wants and they shut down the government again.

00:21:37.000 Well, now you have a time limit.

00:21:38.000 Now it's only four weeks.

00:21:40.000 You can only have a four week government shutdown before March 5th when all the DACA recipients' legal protections end.

00:21:48.000 So the government shuts down on February 8th, and you have a four week time limit for the Democrats to force the Republicans' hand, and they have no leverage because the Republicans know that in four weeks, it doesn't matter.

00:21:58.000 DACA's gone.

00:21:59.000 The kids start getting deported, the kids, the 24 year olds, the young adults who are taking the jobs and their fighting age as well, which might be relevant.

00:22:08.000 They start getting deported immediately.

00:22:10.000 So not only do you have the four week time limit, but also.

00:22:13.000 Now, the Democrats are shutting down the government again.

00:22:16.000 So, we're really, we could not be in a better position to negotiate.

00:22:22.000 We have all the leverage.

00:22:24.000 We have all the cards in our hands.

00:22:26.000 Where time is on our side, the electorate is on our side.

00:22:30.000 Democrats can't shut down the government again.

00:22:32.000 They will look terrible.

00:22:33.000 The Trump administration and the Republicans at large have been framing this issue for the past two weeks, and I've been calling this.

00:22:41.000 And so, we'll see what happens, but this should really be cause for.

00:22:45.000 Where I believe that the Democrats will cave on a lot of these issues.

00:22:49.000 They will give a lot more than anyone could have anticipated.

00:22:53.000 And even you saw from Luis Gutierrez from Illinois, a very proud Latinx individual, he himself said that he would be willing to cave on the wall.

00:23:03.000 He said, You know what? 0.53

00:23:04.000 We'll give you your silly wall so long as you give legal protection to the DACA recipients, which is such a change of pace.

00:23:12.000 I mean, do you remember the rhetoric from 2016? 0.72

00:23:15.000 We'll never build your wall.

00:23:16.000 We'll never fund your wall.

00:23:18.000 I mean, even this week we were hearing that.

00:23:19.000 And In three days, they've caved.

00:23:21.000 They're ready to fund the wall.

00:23:23.000 And I'm sure in the next three weeks, they'll be ready to do a whole lot of other things, to bend over backwards and give us what we want.

00:23:29.000 So we're in a very strong negotiating position.

00:23:33.000 And of course, we must.

00:23:34.000 It is obligatory that we are smug about it. 0.70

00:23:37.000 It's obligatory that we have our chins held high, that we do a little Benito Mussolini, you know, with the chin and the arms crossed, because of course, I predicted this 100%.

00:23:52.000 I predicted it 110% with 100% certainty two weeks ago.

00:24:01.000 And of course, of course, that is not, you know, I'm sorry, I must be humble because I am a Catholic.

00:24:08.000 Because I am a Catholic, I must be humble.

00:24:10.000 I must not be prideful.

00:24:12.000 But it is worth mentioning that two weeks ago, I predicted this exact outcome with 100% certainty.

00:24:19.000 And I made bets.

00:24:20.000 I got in fights.

00:24:21.000 I shut people down.

00:24:23.000 I went against everybody else.

00:24:24.000 And, you know, look what happened.

00:24:26.000 So, Just a little bit of smugness.

00:24:28.000 We're coming at you from Vindication City.

00:24:31.000 I hate to be, I really hate to be smug, but you, they force my hand.

00:24:35.000 Every time they force my hand, I tell them, did I say this?

00:24:39.000 I said I was vindicated four times last year when the exact same thing happened.

00:24:43.000 I will be vindicated again.

00:24:45.000 And we'll go through the same thing the next time that Trump appears to be cucking on DACA.

00:24:50.000 We'll go through the same thing.

00:24:51.000 Everybody will doubt me.

00:24:53.000 Everybody will say, Nick, I really hope you're right.

00:24:55.000 Nick, you have too much faith in the president.

00:24:57.000 Nick, what's the harm in blackpilling?

00:24:58.000 What's the harm in, you know, all the rest?

00:25:01.000 And I'll be there as always with the analysis, cutting right to the core.

00:25:06.000 I mean, that's what it comes down to.

00:25:08.000 People watch America First to learn how to think about politics.

00:25:12.000 You want to learn what to think about politics?

00:25:15.000 You watch anybody else.

00:25:17.000 You want to be an instrument for some corporate interests, political agenda?

00:25:21.000 You want to be an instrument, a conduit through which some pundit or some intellectual's political will flows through?

00:25:28.000 By all means, watch anything else, listen to anything else.

00:25:31.000 But you want to know how to think about politics, you want to know how to interpret politics.

00:25:35.000 Motives, how to forecast future events.

00:25:38.000 You watch America first.

00:25:39.000 The record speaks for itself.

00:25:41.000 I've gotten everything right since the 2016 election.

00:25:44.000 And people might say that's spraggadocious, that's arrogant, that's pretentious.

00:25:48.000 You know, look, a pundit is only as good as his record.

00:25:51.000 A brand is only as strong as the record of the pundit.

00:25:55.000 We're in a business, people who talk about politics, of something that is pretty vapid in terms of if you're going to work in a regular job, you're a machinist, you're a janitor, you drive a truck.

00:26:05.000 What have you.

00:26:06.000 You go to work, you don't do your job right, you get fired.

00:26:09.000 There's accountability.

00:26:10.000 For pundits, for intellectuals, for people that talk about politics, you don't see the same thing.

00:26:16.000 Ben Shapiro can be wrong about everything without fail for two years.

00:26:20.000 Bill Crystal can be wrong about everything without fail for two years, and no price is paid.

00:26:26.000 He still writes for Weekly Standard.

00:26:29.000 He still writes for Nationalist Review.

00:26:30.000 They still do their podcasts.

00:26:32.000 And so when I say this, I only hope.

00:26:36.000 To inculcate a little bit of confidence in what we're saying on the show. 0.97

00:26:40.000 You know, Alt Hype commented on James Alsop's last YouTube channel, a homosexual, by the way, and said, Well, you know, anybody can get on a live stream and just spout off. 0.92

00:26:48.000 People have it in their heads that I get on here and I just stalk stuff out of my butt and I'm young and I don't really know what I'm talking about.

00:26:55.000 I only say that to bolster the record, to fortify the record, to show you that when I come at you with this analysis, it's real, it's almost always correct because we're looking at it the right way.

00:27:08.000 But that's enough.

00:27:08.000 That's enough smugness.

00:27:10.000 I'll have to go to confession and do some penance, do some Our Fathers and Hail Marys for the smugness, for the pretension.

00:27:16.000 But with that said, with all of that out of the way and a lot of fun with the government shutdown, we've been watching it for two weeks.

00:27:23.000 And you can go back, you know, you can watch every show I've done about DACA for the past two weeks and you see this prediction playing out. 0.97

00:27:31.000 You listen to James, you listen to any of these other fellas, you listen to any of these other really intelligent people, and you hear this, you know, Trump is cucking. 0.94

00:27:41.000 I'm off the Trump train. 0.98

00:27:42.000 I'm burning my MAGA hat and so on.

00:27:44.000 And for two weeks, we've been forecasting these events.

00:27:47.000 Saying how events conform to this theory, to this strategy.

00:27:52.000 But anywho, that's the government shutdown.

00:27:54.000 Very fun.

00:27:55.000 And we'll watch what happens in the next three weeks.

00:27:57.000 We'll watch how this plays out with the funding, with the negotiations.

00:28:00.000 I have a lot of hope that Stephen Miller will be torpedoing anything that's too soft on DACA.

00:28:07.000 And hopefully we use as much leverage as we can.

00:28:09.000 I have faith that we will.

00:28:11.000 So that's the government shutdown.

00:28:12.000 I hope all the America First supporters, all the Team Nick people are feeling as smug as they should, feeling as vindicated as they should here.

00:28:22.000 We were supposed to hear a Milky's copypasta. 0.95

00:28:25.000 If it weren't kind of a turbulent time, we'd be hearing a Milky's copypasta from a certain somebody on Wednesday in defeat, you know, or else they'd be a welcher. 0.99

00:28:34.000 But that's all right. 1.00

00:28:36.000 This will have to suffice.

00:28:37.000 So that's DACA.

00:28:38.000 The other thing we have to get into, and here's where the fun comes in, all right?

00:28:42.000 And let me adjust my camera settings here because every time I bring out the proverbial whiteboard, our white balance gets all jazzed up.

00:28:51.000 And let me turn up the gain here so we can.

00:28:53.000 Maintain our levels here on the audio.

00:28:56.000 Even though I'm moving my mic, I'm very good at technology.

00:28:58.000 I can talk while adjusting things at the same time because I am a smart person.

00:29:03.000 And so here we go.

00:29:04.000 We have our map of Syria drawn by me.

00:29:08.000 A lot of people made fun of it.

00:29:09.000 Whoops.

00:29:10.000 Now we are over modulated by a lot.

00:29:13.000 Test, test.

00:29:15.000 A little bit lower.

00:29:16.000 Okay.

00:29:17.000 So this is our map of Syria drawn by me.

00:29:19.000 People were making fun of me about it on Twitter.

00:29:21.000 They were saying, oh, when your budget is only 54 pesos and you have to hand draw a map on a whiteboard.

00:29:27.000 We do it really.

00:29:29.000 We do it because it's fun.

00:29:30.000 We do it because it's fun.

00:29:32.000 It's entertaining.

00:29:33.000 It's earnest.

00:29:34.000 It's lighthearted.

00:29:34.000 You know, give a guy a break, right?

00:29:37.000 So, we drew our map of Syria.

00:29:38.000 I'm very proud of it.

00:29:39.000 I'm not a very good drawer.

00:29:42.000 You know, I was one of these kids growing up playing baseball.

00:29:45.000 Not very good hand eye coordination.

00:29:47.000 Not very fine motor skills.

00:29:49.000 So, the freehand drawing of this country, I'm very impressed with myself with this.

00:29:54.000 But here you have it.

00:29:55.000 I'm going to go into my camera and see if I mess around with the white balance.

00:29:59.000 Perhaps that will fix our.

00:30:03.000 Hey, hey, hey, all right.

00:30:05.000 Boomer, it just keeps getting better.

00:30:07.000 Gen X tech, we're upgrading.

00:30:09.000 So, this is our situation right now in the Syrian civil war.

00:30:13.000 As of this afternoon, or rather, I think very early today.

00:30:18.000 Move the mug.

00:30:20.000 Thanks.

00:30:20.000 Ah, yes.

00:30:21.000 Thank you to my producer.

00:30:23.000 Thank you to the chief producer of the show, who is definitely not related to me.

00:30:30.000 So, we have our map of Syria here.

00:30:33.000 And this is where we stand as of this morning.

00:30:35.000 There's a very good resource called, I believe it's called Live Map Syria, and they do a lot of good live maps of ISIS, of Ukraine, of Syria, live updates of who controls what territory, major events, and so on.

00:30:47.000 So this is the most up to date map of Syria as of, I believe, 6 o'clock this evening, Central Time.

00:30:54.000 And so you had this afternoon, Turkey invade Syria.

00:30:59.000 Turkey invaded Syria this afternoon, which is a pretty stark contrast to how.

00:31:05.000 Have been playing out in the Middle East for the past five years.

00:31:08.000 If you've been following the Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011, this conflict inaugurated an era, a new era, really, I think, fully manifesting the 21st century and 21st century conflict of intra state conflict.

00:31:25.000 Intra meaning within, states meaning nation states, within nation conflict.

00:31:32.000 So rather than inter state conflict, inter between state conflict, which dominated politics.

00:31:37.000 For the past 100 years, where you had the Iran versus Iraq war, you had Iraq invade Kuwait, you had the United States invade Iraq, you had the United States invade Afghanistan, you have conflict between states.

00:31:50.000 Prior to this Syrian civil war in 2011, this conflict inaugurated really a new era of 21st century conflict, which is intrastate conflict, civil wars, tribal wars, sectarian conflicts, religious conflicts.

00:32:06.000 And so, this is one of the most complicated Wars that we've seen really in a long time.

00:32:10.000 If you're a student of international relations, if you're a student of foreign affairs, of political theory, you will be studying the Syrian Civil War for the next 50 years.

00:32:19.000 This will be a case study in really when the 21st century came into its own in the Middle East.

00:32:25.000 Really a new era of conflict here.

00:32:28.000 And so since 2011, you've had all kinds of groups.

00:32:31.000 It started out with the Arab Spring.

00:32:33.000 The Arab Spring was a series of protests that originated in Tunisia, I believe in late 2010, December of 2010. 0.86

00:32:41.000 It began with the self immolation.

00:32:43.000 Of an anti government activist.

00:32:44.000 There was a revolution in Tunisia.

00:32:46.000 It spread to Egypt.

00:32:48.000 It spread to Libya.

00:32:49.000 It then spread to Iraq and Syria and other countries in the Middle East.

00:32:54.000 And so the Arab Spring was kind of this, it was the epitomization of the folly of kind of the George W. Bush neoconservative thinking on the Middle East.

00:33:04.000 A lot of people thought that the Arab Spring would be a new era of democracy, of westernization, of liberalization in the Middle East.

00:33:12.000 They thought that, and this was predated, of course, by the 2009.

00:33:16.000 Green Revolution in Iran.

00:33:19.000 Many people say that's an antecedent to the Arab Spring, even though Iran is Persian.

00:33:23.000 Many people saw that and they saw the Arab Spring and they thought, this is the Muslim people, this is the Arab people rising up and they want freedom, they want democracy.

00:33:32.000 And many people saw that falsely as a vindication of the promise of the George W. Bush foreign policy doctrine we're going to go into Iraq and Afghanistan and give them the ballot box, we're going to spread democracy.

00:33:44.000 They want democracy, they want Western values.

00:33:47.000 And this is symptomatic of a much larger worldview.

00:33:50.000 Which says that modernization can only come from westernization.

00:33:54.000 And more on that, I mean, that's a much broader subject, but I mean, that was really at the core of it this very arrogant, hubristic belief in the wake of the Cold War that third world countries can only achieve modernization, modern technology, standards of living through westernization, through liberalization.

00:34:12.000 And so the Arab Spring was the epitomization of all of these false hopes being projected onto the Arab people because many, like Barack Obama, many conservatives, supported the Arab Spring protests initially.

00:34:24.000 And they said, wow, it's all over the place and they want democracy.

00:34:27.000 And then it started to go very much awry.

00:34:29.000 In Egypt, when they got their elections, when they got the ballot box, they voted in the Muslim Brotherhood, which of course is Islamist, is fundamentalist, as contrasted with Hosni Mubarak, the leader of the police state there, who was a secular ruler.

00:34:44.000 Contrasted with what happened in Syria in 2011, this is probably the best case study, where the Arab Spring started out in 2011 in Syria with anti government protests.

00:34:55.000 Calls for free and open elections, calls for the release of political prisoners and end to censorship, and then it turns into Islamist fundamentalism.

00:35:03.000 And then, of course, you get ISIS. 0.61

00:35:05.000 You get the Free Syrian Army, which is buddy buddy with ISIS.

00:35:08.000 You get the al Nusra Front. 0.52

00:35:09.000 You get the Kurds who take advantage of the situation and try to claim territory. 0.87

00:35:14.000 You get Israel who's doing missile strikes, trying to take advantage and have their claims over the Golan Heights in Syria legitimized by the international community. 0.87

00:35:25.000 And so, this is really kind of the very explosive, very ugly, violent exorcism of Bush.

00:35:34.000 Of Bush era thinking of the Middle East here in Syria, where all the hopes and dreams pinned on the Arab Spring, all the westernization, democratization dreams basically went to die in Syria because we had it that, well, we're going to support the freedom fighters, we're going to support these people only want democracy, we're going to give them American arms, we're going to give them American guns and ammunition and firepower and everything else.

00:35:59.000 And then it turns out that all these weapons fall into the hands of ISIS.

00:36:03.000 And it turns out that the Free Syrian Army is not who they say they are.

00:36:06.000 And the YPG.

00:36:07.000 The Kurdish elements in the north are not who they say they are.

00:36:11.000 And so, this is the conflict really where so many hopes and dreams about the 21st century, about American power, westernization came to die.

00:36:18.000 Okay, so this is your setup.

00:36:20.000 The modern day Syrian civil war conflict looks like this where the red here is Bashar al Assad.

00:36:28.000 Bashar al Assad is the president of Syria, has been the president of Syria since the year 2000 when his father died.

00:36:35.000 These are the pro government forces.

00:36:37.000 This is the Iranian backed forces that are in there, the Russian backed forces.

00:36:41.000 There are even some Chinese backed forces since November. 0.93

00:36:46.000 That's all the red, which are there to shore up the rightful Assad government in Damascus. 0.91

00:36:52.000 And so this is, by the way, much greater than it was in 2013. 0.88

00:36:55.000 In 2013, the pro government forces were in retreat.

00:36:59.000 They withdrew from most of the country, and now, in a big way, they are retaking the rest of the country.

00:37:05.000 That's red. 1.00

00:37:06.000 The next most important element is the Kurds. 1.00

00:37:10.000 The Kurds are your orange here in the northwest and in the north over here. 1.00

00:37:14.000 Now, I.

00:37:15.000 I went into a little bit of detail on who the Kurds were in the last episode.

00:37:19.000 The Kurds are, by technicality, excluding white people, the largest ethnic group in the world without a state of their own.

00:37:28.000 So these are a mountain people and an ethnic group. 0.89

00:37:32.000 They are in eastern Turkey, they're in northeastern Syria, they're in northern Iraq, they're in northern Iran, they're in southern Armenia, southern Azerbaijan.

00:37:45.000 And these are the largest ethnic group without a state, and they've been in the Middle East.

00:37:49.000 Forever, and they've been discriminated against, they've been genocided, they've been abused by Saddam Hussein, by Turkey.

00:37:55.000 Turkey used them in the 1900s to eradicate the Armenians, and then they went against the Kurds in a brutal way.

00:38:02.000 I mean, they really have been pushed around and abused and used, and very rough stuff. 0.81

00:38:06.000 But so, the Kurds up here in the orange, these guys were really more in Turkey. 0.54

00:38:12.000 Turkey is up here, Turkey borders Syria.

00:38:16.000 The Kurds were really more up here, seeing an opportunity to fight against ISIS.

00:38:20.000 When ISIS broke out here, In Syria and Iraq.

00:38:24.000 The Kurds fought against them.

00:38:25.000 ISIS was fighting up against them.

00:38:27.000 And the Kurds gradually worked their way down and started seizing territory in Syria, claiming more and more land as they defeated ISIS, because of course they were backed with U.S. arms, U.S. technology, and so on.

00:38:39.000 They were a much stronger fighting force and a very talented fighting force.

00:38:43.000 And so they claimed a lot of territory here in northeastern Syria.

00:38:46.000 And this has caused a problem, of course, because Syria is not a Kurdish country.

00:38:51.000 Syria is only 9% Kurdish. 0.62

00:38:53.000 So the Kurds are taking a pretty good chunk of land here in the wake of.

00:38:56.000 This unrest, this instability. 1.00

00:38:58.000 They've really taken advantage of the situation.

00:39:00.000 They've moved further down.

00:39:02.000 Here you have in green are the rebels.

00:39:05.000 This is the Free Syrian Army and just the broader rebellion against Assad, which they've really been beaten back to Idlib province up here, which, if you recall, this was where the chemical weapons were supposedly used in Idlib province up in the northeast.

00:39:20.000 This is the last stronghold of the rebels and also down here and on the border with Israel.

00:39:26.000 And then you have, of course, ISIS, which is beaten down to a few small areas here in central Syria, eastern Syria, and a little tiny portion over here.

00:39:35.000 So that's the Syrian Civil War.

00:39:36.000 That's a brief summary of it.

00:39:38.000 What happened today was you had Turkey invade this area up here, which is called Afrin.

00:39:45.000 Now, Turkey is a sovereign state, so this changes the nature of the conflict.

00:39:49.000 Whereas before, the Syrian Civil War was kind of this ugly, chaotic stew of all kinds of sectarian, ethnic, religious, regional interests battling it out within this country.

00:40:01.000 And ostensibly, you had Iran, Russia, China, other foreign actors.

00:40:05.000 Shoring up the government, but it was really an intrastate conflict.

00:40:08.000 It was confined to Syria.

00:40:10.000 Well, now you have Syria invading into this country and taking on the Kurds up in Afrin.

00:40:16.000 And the reason, of course, for this is that these Kurds are the YPG, these are the People Protection Units, which was founded in 2003, but really took on the YPG name, which is Kurdish for People Protection Units, and they took on that title and sort of their air of democracy and their assistance with Western backed governments.

00:40:38.000 At the start of the Syrian Civil War in 2011, the YPG, which is up here in orange, which is backed by the United States, they have their arms.

00:40:46.000 They purport to be spreading democracy.

00:40:49.000 They are buddy buddy with the PKK, which is the Kurdish Workers' Party, a communist party in eastern Turkey, which has been doing terrorist attacks against Turkey for 30 years, a militant terrorist group that has been operating within Turkey for 30 years, contesting the sovereignty of Turkey and Turkish Kurdistan.

00:41:10.000 Doing terrorist attacks in places like Istanbul and Ankara and other places.

00:41:15.000 And so the reason that Turkey has invaded Afrin is because, you know, this is the YPG, which is friends with the PKK, which is a terrorist group which has been operating in Turkey for 30 years.

00:41:25.000 And so now Turkey has said, okay, well, the United States has given these guys advanced military.

00:41:31.000 They've given them tanks, they've given them advanced weapons, ammunition, they've given them diplomatic support, they've given them military advisors, and they've allowed the YPG and more broadly the PKK, a terrorist group in Turkey, To gain massive tracts of land and along the border with Turkey.

00:41:49.000 They now control 60% of the border with Turkey between Syria and Turkey.

00:41:54.000 And so Turkey is saying, you know, look, the United States, you're our NATO ally, you're a broader diplomatic ally, and you're giving technical and military support to the PKK and the YPG, which are terrorists.

00:42:07.000 I mean, that would be akin to a country like France giving advanced military technology to ISIS or giving advanced military technology to.

00:42:17.000 A Latin American terrorist organization on the border of Mexico.

00:42:19.000 I mean, that's what it's like. 1.00

00:42:21.000 That's an apt analogy. 0.99

00:42:24.000 And so now Turkey has invaded an offering here in the north, and they say they're going to incur 30 miles south into Turkey.

00:42:31.000 Now, the international community has condemned this.

00:42:34.000 The Western countries, like the United States and Europe, have simply said just show some restraint on both sides, don't kill civilians, try to keep civilian casualties to a minimum, try and make it as precision.

00:42:47.000 As surgical as possible.

00:42:49.000 The Syrian government, of course, has protested this.

00:42:51.000 The Russian government, the Iranian government has protested this as a violation of national sovereignty.

00:42:56.000 And we'll see what happens.

00:42:58.000 But I mean, this is really, I think you have to look at this in the broader context of what is playing out with Iran in the region.

00:43:05.000 This is really the important thing here, where Turkey may say they're going into it for Kurdistan. 0.92

00:43:11.000 Turkey may say they're going into it to go after the YPG and the PKK, which is true, of course.

00:43:16.000 But more broadly, what Turkey is doing is vying for a stake in Syria.

00:43:22.000 Now that ISIS has been all but defeated in Iraq and Syria, and they're leaving a major power vacuum, all this.

00:43:28.000 Territory that's been lost, all this bloodshed that's been caused and instability that's been wrought.

00:43:34.000 Now you see Syria and Iraq being essentially carved up by different interests.

00:43:40.000 Syria right now is being carved up by the Iranians, by the Assad government, by the Russians, by Israel to some extent, by the Lebanese, by Hezbollah, by Jordan.

00:43:49.000 And so this is, in my estimation more broadly, a play for Turkish influence in the greater Mesopotamian region here, which would be Syria and Iraq, sort of the Sykes Picot region here.

00:44:02.000 Where they see Iran building military bases south of Damascus.

00:44:06.000 They see Russia enhancing their military position in Syria. 0.70

00:44:09.000 They see Israel down here, which is Israel is here, and they're taking over the Golan Heights, so that would be around here. 0.68

00:44:20.000 They see the Lebanese taking over with Hezbollah around this region, and so on and so forth. 0.71

00:44:25.000 And so I think this is Turkey more vying for a stake here in Syria, vying for some kind of influence power projection in the greater.

00:44:34.000 Central Middle Eastern area.

00:44:35.000 And that's my estimation.

00:44:36.000 For context, this is the country of Syria.

00:44:39.000 This is a much more poorly drawn map to give you a little bit of context.

00:44:44.000 Here you have the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.

00:44:47.000 Here you have Egypt.

00:44:49.000 Jordan is over here. 0.96

00:44:50.000 Israel is here.

00:44:51.000 Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. 0.76

00:44:53.000 So Turkey is moving south into Afrin, which is right here.

00:44:58.000 And so that's what's going on in Syria.

00:45:00.000 I think the broader takeaway is that.

00:45:04.000 This is what happens when the United States is the number one arms dealer in the world.

00:45:07.000 This is what happens when you have more gun control in the United States.

00:45:13.000 You have more gun control.

00:45:14.000 I mean, there are more gun regulations to stop you, Joe Schmo, from going into your local gun store and buying a handgun or semi automatic rifle than there is for the United States to give billions and billions and billions of dollars of automatic weapons, of ammunition, of tanks, of air power to people who we don't even know who they are, to people we don't even know the broader significance.

00:45:36.000 And of course, We saw this play out before.

00:45:39.000 Does anybody remember when we were giving Osama bin Laden money, when we were giving money to the Taliban and to Al Qaeda in the 1980s?

00:45:47.000 Because in 1979, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, at that time, the Taliban were the freedom fighters on horseback fighting against the Soviet Empire.

00:45:57.000 And we said, Here, Osama bin Laden, we'll give you, the CIA will give you all the weapons you want. 0.62

00:46:01.000 We'll give you AK 47s, we'll give you Stinger missiles, or not AK 47s, that's, you know, of course, the Russian. 0.89

00:46:08.000 Model. 0.85

00:46:08.000 We'll give you American, what would that be, M15s or whatever. 0.85

00:46:11.000 We'll give you advanced weapons to fight against the Soviets.

00:46:14.000 And then what happens?

00:46:15.000 They turn around and use them against American soldiers just 20 years later. 0.63

00:46:19.000 And so, and then even with Iraq, even with Iraq, where we gave tacit support to Iraq in the 1980 to 1989 Iran Iraq War, and then we end up fighting the Iraqis in 1991 and all throughout the 90s and then 2003.

00:46:33.000 So the broader takeaway here is not all the acronyms and all the different interests and influences.

00:46:41.000 It's changing every day.

00:46:42.000 It's so complicated. 1.00

00:46:43.000 99% of it is bullshit, okay? 0.99

00:46:46.000 99% of what you hear from the Atlantic and from the New Yorker about the Haqqani Network and all these different groups and everything, 99% of it is nonsense, okay? 0.99

00:46:55.000 I mean, people, the intellectuals just physically cannot keep up with the developments happening on the ground in an accurate way.

00:47:02.000 The takeaway is not this is the red area, this is the blue area, and the yellow area.

00:47:07.000 The takeaway here is the United States should be careful about who it gives its guns to.

00:47:13.000 You, the taxpayer, give trillions of dollars to the government every year.

00:47:18.000 The bloated Department of Defense.

00:47:20.000 Spent $600 and some billion, $600 and change billion every year to have offices and bases everywhere to be giving, propping up military dictatorships and military insurgencies and dissidents all over the world.

00:47:34.000 And then you get this. 0.83

00:47:36.000 Then you end up funding Kurdish terrorists. 0.78

00:47:39.000 And now the Turks have to go in and clean up the mess. 0.64

00:47:41.000 And now there might be a broader regional conflict in the Middle East between all these different powers because we weren't careful.

00:47:49.000 And we're giving arms not just to the Kurds who, in terms of our interests, are not harming us.

00:47:55.000 The Kurds are not doing terrorist attacks in D.C. They're doing them in Turkey.

00:47:59.000 So, I mean, more broadly, they don't harm us.

00:48:01.000 But those weapons fall into the hands of ISIS and Al Qaeda.

00:48:06.000 And they complicate things for us strategically in the Middle East.

00:48:09.000 So that's the takeaway.

00:48:11.000 This is where your tax dollars are going to, folks.

00:48:11.000 That's the takeaway.

00:48:14.000 This is your tax dollars at work.

00:48:16.000 You got potholes.

00:48:17.000 Bridges are collapsing.

00:48:19.000 Your health care is probably not as good as it used to be.

00:48:23.000 You know, you have an opiate crisis that's out of control, you have a drug war that's failing.

00:48:28.000 We can't secure the border.

00:48:30.000 We can't build a wall because it costs $18 billion, in the words of the Democrats.

00:48:34.000 We have all these problems at home we can't seem to fix.

00:48:38.000 And how much money are we giving to these dummies, these bozos?

00:48:43.000 And I shouldn't say that. 0.98

00:48:44.000 They're not bozos. 0.97

00:48:45.000 They're not dummies.

00:48:46.000 We're the bozos for giving them all the military weapons when it's not in our interest.

00:48:51.000 I shouldn't say that.

00:48:52.000 These are people fighting for their own interests.

00:48:54.000 We shouldn't be meddling in their affairs.

00:48:56.000 The bozos are the politicians.

00:48:58.000 And also, the bozos are these guys.

00:49:00.000 The bozos are these guys.

00:49:01.000 Who may be causing, who may have a lot to do.

00:49:04.000 You know, these guys right over here, right over here, these guys, you know, if you look on a map, their cities are denoted in a different language and a different script.

00:49:15.000 These guys might also be bozos. 0.70

00:49:17.000 You know, the guys who mysteriously seem to gain and stand the benefit and might be behind about a dozen conflicts in the Middle East going back to the 90s, might date back to a certain journal entry in the 1950s by a man by the name of Ben Gurion.

00:49:31.000 Who knows? 0.73

00:49:32.000 Who knows what the plot is to secure the greater realm of Israel? 0.86

00:49:35.000 That's the Syrian Civil War.

00:49:36.000 Very fun, very exciting, colorful maps.

00:49:40.000 The whiteboard is a lot of fun.

00:49:42.000 But that's what's going on.

00:49:45.000 Very complicated.

00:49:46.000 And who cares?

00:49:48.000 We wouldn't even be talking about this except for the fact that we give billions of dollars to these people every year.

00:49:53.000 I would love to just not.

00:49:54.000 Actually, I wouldn't because I'm very interested in it.

00:49:56.000 But I think it would be just if we could be a little bit less concerned about what's happening there and a little bit more concerned about what's going on here.

00:50:03.000 Let me readjust the brightness here.

00:50:06.000 Now we're a little too bright.

00:50:07.000 The future's so bright.

00:50:09.000 Here, there we go.

00:50:11.000 Okay, and shoot, we're running out of time here.

00:50:14.000 What an action packed episode!

00:50:16.000 Gloating, government shutdown, Syrian civil war, a lot to discuss.

00:50:21.000 But we'll get into your super chats here.

00:50:22.000 We'll have to go a little bit over, which sucks for me because I'm very hungry.

00:50:28.000 But uh, we'll take your super chats here and let's see what we have.

00:50:35.000 NL 319 thoughts on the real JQ, the Jesuit question.

00:50:40.000 Ah, the Jesuit question.

00:50:43.000 The Jesuits are not so good.

00:50:46.000 They started out okay.

00:50:48.000 They started out as pretty good evangelists of the faith and I guess somewhat associated with the church.

00:50:55.000 But the Jesuits have infiltrated the church and now they're causing a lot of problems.

00:51:00.000 Pope Francis, you could say, is a Jesuit.

00:51:02.000 And the Jesuits within the Catholic Church have been causing a lot of problems for us.

00:51:06.000 They're not the kind of Catholics that we need. 0.99

00:51:08.000 So they did a lot of good work. 1.00

00:51:10.000 They're very well intentioned, but you know.

00:51:13.000 They need to, their influence should be lessened in the Catholic Church there.

00:51:21.000 But good question. 0.64

00:51:21.000 Nobody asks about the Jesuits. 0.64

00:51:23.000 Anthony P., what's the chances of a veto proof DACA agreement?

00:51:29.000 Well, a veto proof DACA agreement would be two thirds in the Senate to override a veto.

00:51:37.000 And you would need two thirds to pass it anyway.

00:51:39.000 So, I mean, any DACA agreement would necessarily be veto proof.

00:51:43.000 The chances of a DACA agreement, I think, are pretty strong in the sense that the Democrats have a very strong incentive and no leverage.

00:51:53.000 They have a very strong incentive to concede to President Trump on the things he wants them to, and they have no leverage to resist him.

00:52:00.000 You know, I mean, if you think about it, they don't give him a deal, and they would force a shutdown for four weeks, and then DACA would expire anyway.

00:52:08.000 And there would go any remaining leverage that they would have, any bargaining chip that they would have.

00:52:14.000 So, you know, really, the ball is in President Trump's court.

00:52:17.000 So I think it's a very strong chance that we'll see a nice compromise on DACA along our way of thinking. 0.53

00:52:24.000 Simon Scola, Paul Nealon named every Jew in the mainstream media.

00:52:29.000 You know, Paul Nealon is, we love the guy.

00:52:33.000 We had him on the show, but, and this is a soft but, this is not a hard but.

00:52:37.000 I love Paul Neal, I really do.

00:52:38.000 The only thing is, and this happens with a lot of people, I think, who first discover, Sort of what's going on, generally what's going on.

00:52:46.000 They learn about certain influence.

00:52:47.000 They decide to be a little bit politically incorrect.

00:52:50.000 I think they lose the focus of the message.

00:52:53.000 And so I think Paul Nealon at this point would be better served talking about trade and taxes and immigration.

00:52:58.000 And this is constructive criticism, I hope.

00:53:01.000 I hope if he sees this, if any supporters of him see this, they're not thinking Nick is counter signaling Neal and Nick, nothing of the sort.

00:53:07.000 But simply to say, you know, if you're trying to appeal to Wisconsin voters, there's a way to tie this in.

00:53:15.000 And, you know, Maybe some of his advisors need to, I don't know, give him a better way to couch that argument in a way that is more conducive to what he's trying to do running for that seat in Wisconsin.

00:53:30.000 So I got to say, the guy's got brass balls, and it really is a good thing, I think, what he is doing for free speech, for the conversation on this, for understanding why the media is the way it is, understanding why the government is the way it is.

00:53:46.000 But the only minor criticism is there's a way to couch it in terms of.

00:53:51.000 Things that the average voter can understand.

00:53:53.000 You know, for example, I try to think of politics.

00:53:56.000 I try and do my show for my barber.

00:53:59.000 I try and do my show for, you know, the person who is behind the desk at Macy's, you know, or the people that I see on a day to day basis.

00:54:08.000 The normal people aren't totally engaged, who watch the nightly news, but they're not so concerned with all the particulars.

00:54:14.000 And maybe they're not open to all this extreme type stuff or unfamiliar, maybe that's a better word type stuff.

00:54:21.000 I got an eyelash here.

00:54:22.000 Okay.

00:54:23.000 Better.

00:54:24.000 I try to do it for them, and in doing that, you start to interpret or you start to understand a better way to message.

00:54:30.000 You start to understand a better way to slip in some of these red pills, slip them in under the radar, kind of in a way that is digestible.

00:54:40.000 And that's my only minor critique there.

00:54:42.000 But he's doing great work and God bless him.

00:54:44.000 He's really, he's courageous.

00:54:46.000 He's got integrity.

00:54:48.000 He believes in God.

00:54:49.000 Nobody can stop this man, you know, and that's a minor constructive thing, but he is really out there and he is doing God's work.

00:54:55.000 And we wish him the best.

00:54:56.000 I hope he goes on and wins there.

00:54:59.000 The right leaf, Mon Nibba, please drop that intro music DL link.

00:55:03.000 I'll put it in the description of the video when I finish the show.

00:55:06.000 How about that?

00:55:07.000 I'll post the SoundCloud link in the description.

00:55:12.000 Forrest will send you.

00:55:13.000 Kanye CDs.

00:55:15.000 All right, my man.

00:55:16.000 I got them all on Spotify, but hey, I'd appreciate the hard ones as well.

00:55:19.000 So I'll post P.O. Box.

00:55:22.000 Rick Smith, it's time you start lifting, Nick.

00:55:27.000 You know, there's a way.

00:55:28.000 There's a way to suggest something, and there's a wrong way to suggest something.

00:55:32.000 The right way to suggest something, I'm very, this is partly why the company dissolved.

00:55:37.000 You know, the suggestion could be Nick, you should start lifting.

00:55:41.000 Nick, it might be a good idea to start lifting.

00:55:43.000 Nick, it's time for you to start lifting.

00:55:45.000 Oh, you know?

00:55:46.000 I've been a little bit busy, you know, this past week, but I mean, you're right.

00:55:49.000 You're right.

00:55:50.000 I do need to start lifting.

00:55:51.000 I just don't like this.

00:55:53.000 It's time you need to start lifting.

00:55:54.000 Yeah.

00:55:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:55:55.000 I appreciate the super chat, but the tone, and James and Matt will attest to this these little things, they get under my skin.

00:56:02.000 Maybe I'm guilty of my own sins taking myself too seriously.

00:56:07.000 I do need to start getting in the gym.

00:56:07.000 Who knows?

00:56:07.000 But it's true.

00:56:10.000 I have a very good audio that will motivate me to get in the gym.

00:56:13.000 I have a very good audio that I have.

00:56:17.000 But I can't reveal the nature of it quite yet until I get somebody to look at it that will motivate me to start lifting.

00:56:23.000 And that will come soon.

00:56:24.000 Once I get my computer in order, once I get the show basically in order after this tumultuous period, Nick will be in the gym throwing up the iron, throwing up the weights, grunting, you know, drinking, slamming back protein shakes, punching people, you know, injecting myself with steroids.

00:56:44.000 I'll balloon up.

00:56:44.000 I'll be there.

00:56:46.000 I'll have so many muscles, I won't have a neck anymore.

00:56:48.000 I'll look like this.

00:56:50.000 I'll be walking around like this.

00:56:52.000 Oh, did you say something to me?

00:56:53.000 Did you say something about Catboys?

00:56:55.000 Oh, what about Catboys?

00:56:58.000 What about Ray?

00:56:59.000 What about Ray Ayanami?

00:57:01.000 What are you, counter signaling Neon Genesis Evangelion?

00:57:03.000 You know, I'll be walking around.

00:57:05.000 I won't even have shoulders.

00:57:06.000 I'll be walking around like this.

00:57:08.000 I'll be so much neck muscle.

00:57:10.000 I'll just be walking around like that.

00:57:13.000 After, of course, after I hit the gym and punch the iron, pump the iron, rather, I'll be the most feared nationalist political leader in the country.

00:57:22.000 I'll be a tank.

00:57:23.000 I'll be a tank.

00:57:25.000 Rick Smith, everyone in the comments agreed with my last super chat.

00:57:28.000 Hit the gym.

00:57:29.000 Yeah, we got it.

00:57:30.000 We got it.

00:57:31.000 Rick M.

00:57:32.000 A lot of people named Rick watch this show.

00:57:34.000 Maybe it's because it rhymes with Nick.

00:57:35.000 Who knows?

00:57:36.000 Nick, have you read The Jefferson Lies by David Barton?

00:57:39.000 If not, I highly recommend it.

00:57:41.000 I also dig the new Chad Tai.

00:57:43.000 Well, thank you for the recommendation.

00:57:44.000 I will check that out.

00:57:46.000 I got a ton of new books for Christmas.

00:57:48.000 I got, let me think, I got nine, six, I got 15, I got like 20 books for Christmas.

00:57:55.000 So I'm a little behind on the queue, but I will.

00:57:57.000 Look into that.

00:57:58.000 Big Jefferson fan myself, but also a big fan of Hamilton.

00:58:01.000 You know, very tough.

00:58:03.000 But thank you as well on the tie compliment there.

00:58:06.000 Matt Williams, Nick, did you see that you are mentioned in the Tennis Sandgren Wikipedia article? 0.98

00:58:12.000 Disgusting leftists are out for blood because of retweets. 0.82

00:58:15.000 Yeah, it's such a shame to see, you know. 0.98

00:58:18.000 I don't want to see anything that damages him.

00:58:20.000 I don't want to associate too strongly with him.

00:58:22.000 But just on the subject of that in general, it really is a shame to see that this guy, 26 years old, A very good tennis player.

00:58:32.000 He made it to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, and we've been mutuals for a while.

00:58:37.000 I don't know.

00:58:38.000 I don't think he agrees with everything I say.

00:58:40.000 I doubt it, frankly.

00:58:43.000 But I will say it's really just disgusting that this guy's a tennis player.

00:58:48.000 He's out there playing tennis very well.

00:58:50.000 He's young.

00:58:51.000 He's probably the best American in the game right now as far as what happened today. 0.80

00:58:56.000 I mean, he's made it the furthest out of any American.

00:58:58.000 He beat the number four player in the world in tennis.

00:59:01.000 And they can't focus on the tennis.

00:59:03.000 They have to bring in politics, they have to bring in what he retweeted online.

00:59:07.000 It's such a joke.

00:59:08.000 Everybody's so sick of it.

00:59:10.000 Everybody's so past this.

00:59:11.000 Let the guy play tennis.

00:59:13.000 He's good at playing tennis.

00:59:15.000 They hit the ball over the net.

00:59:16.000 He hits it back.

00:59:17.000 And he does it very well.

00:59:18.000 Who cares what he retweets?

00:59:19.000 Who cares what he likes on Twitter?

00:59:21.000 Who cares what his political opinions are?

00:59:23.000 He's entitled to have political opinions.

00:59:25.000 He's entitled to like what he likes on Twitter and so on and so forth.

00:59:29.000 And yeah, I saw that.

00:59:30.000 He's in this, and for people that have not seen this, Tennis Sandgren, he's an American tennis player.

00:59:35.000 He's in this press conference.

00:59:36.000 He did very well today at, I guess, this Australian tournament.

00:59:39.000 And they asked him about how he retweeted me.

00:59:41.000 They said, You've retweeted a white nationalist, Nick Fuentes, who attended the Charlottesville rally.

00:59:47.000 And you essentially endorse this, and you're blah, blah, blah.

00:59:50.000 And it's just such a joke.

00:59:52.000 Let the guy play tennis.

00:59:54.000 And we have Ian Weber who says, What faults do you feel that Oswald Mosley had?

01:00:00.000 Also, I'm not LARPing, but do you think clerical fascism could work in a serious country?

01:00:05.000 On Oswald Mosley, I would say that it's really interesting what I've noticed.

01:00:13.000 The type of nationalist strain, If you notice, it has been very weak in individualist, liberal, Protestant, Anglo countries.

01:00:25.000 The call for central authority, for a fascist ethic, for a communitarian ethic, has been very much diminished, has not gained as much traction in the United States, in Great Britain, in some of these more individualist countries, even in Scandinavia, as contrasted with Germany or Italy or Spain.

01:00:43.000 You know, look at where fascism took root in Italy and Spain.

01:00:46.000 Catholic, Italy and Spain.

01:00:49.000 And I think it's kind of interesting the dynamic there where fascism kind of goes hand in hand with Catholicism.

01:00:56.000 And when I say fascism, I don't even mean that in a derogatory, like bad connotation way.

01:01:01.000 I mean it in the sense of strong central government, strong national identity, community, those kinds of things, a broader collectivist identity.

01:01:10.000 It's much stronger because I think this is the ethic of the Catholic Church.

01:01:13.000 The Catholic Church is the institution of hierarchy, authority, tradition.

01:01:18.000 All things championed by a more collectivist government system.

01:01:22.000 This contrasted with Protestant individualist England and America, which have liberal democratic systems.

01:01:29.000 I think it's very telling.

01:01:30.000 And so that's one observation, not really related.

01:01:33.000 But on Oswald Mosley, I think the mistake was going full fast.

01:01:38.000 The mistake was going full fast. 0.58

01:01:39.000 It was the black uniforms, the Roman salutes, the appeal to Hitler. 0.91

01:01:44.000 I don't know what's going on.

01:01:45.000 My nose is itching.

01:01:46.000 I think what happens is this.

01:01:48.000 This fabric accumulates dust or something, or something that is irritating to my nose.

01:01:54.000 I touch it towards the end when I'm doing the mug, and then it gets to my nose and I have to itch.

01:01:59.000 All of this will be fixed when I get a desk and we get our studio built.

01:02:04.000 But Oswald Mosley, he wears a black uniform, the Roman salute, the Hitler stuff, and it has no appeal in a liberal, Protestant, individualist country.

01:02:13.000 We have to make it work for the physiognomy of our civilization.

01:02:17.000 So that would be my one critique.

01:02:18.000 Very inspiring orator.

01:02:20.000 But the rest of it, you can't really argue, is really.

01:02:23.000 I mean, he had very big political meetings, but I mean, then look what happened to him.

01:02:26.000 If the barometer is success, he ended up in jail and went nowhere afterwards.

01:02:33.000 And on clerical fascism, yeah, but you couldn't call it that.

01:02:37.000 You couldn't call it that.

01:02:38.000 You could have something like that, a stronger executive, a new Caesarism, a second religiosity, but you couldn't call it that, you know, for obvious reasons.

01:02:45.000 Alciabadi says 54 pesos in dollars, MAGA.

01:02:49.000 Muchos gracias.

01:02:51.000 It's funny because people call me Mexican.

01:02:53.000 I'm 25% Mexican, which is such a logical fallacy.

01:02:57.000 If you're going to call somebody something of which they are 25%, well, then I'm doubly as Italian as I am Mexican and just as Irish as I am Mexican.

01:03:06.000 So for somebody to say I'm Mexican because I'm 25% Mexican, To say that one constituent piece is definitive of the whole when another constituent piece is twice as big as that one is just a logical fallacy.

01:03:19.000 And that's not me denying my heritage. 0.97

01:03:21.000 It's simply to say that when people call me like a mestizo or I'm Mexican or I'm non white or something, if 80% European does not fit the threshold for white, you're a clown, you're a joker, and you have no serious place in a political movement. 0.98

01:03:39.000 Spoiler alert. 0.96

01:03:40.000 Let me mess around with the white balance, overturns the 1965 Immigration Act. 0.92

01:03:44.000 Ha! 1.00

01:03:45.000 That's good.

01:03:46.000 I like that.

01:03:47.000 We're messing around with the white balance, right? 0.79

01:03:49.000 In immigration law. 0.85

01:03:51.000 Ian Weber, I think the right has to take a stance that Zionism is a reasonable ideology, but we need to say that it is undeniable that Zionism tends to interfere with the U.S. Americans should be able to achieve our own state as well. 0.90

01:04:06.000 Yeah, I mean, that's the place to go with it. 0.57

01:04:08.000 Is look, Israel can have its homeland, Israel can have its own state, and that's fine, but it can't control ours, and we have the right to the same thing.

01:04:16.000 I mean, it's as simple as that.

01:04:18.000 It's, yeah, nothing to do with hating Jews.

01:04:20.000 You know, Jacob Wohl comes on and he says it comes down to outright Jew hatred.

01:04:24.000 And it always goes back to that.

01:04:26.000 No, no, no, no.

01:04:27.000 We just want a free, independent, sovereign country of our own.

01:04:30.000 You want to have your own country and serve your own self interests?

01:04:33.000 By all means, God bless you.

01:04:35.000 We wish you luck.

01:04:36.000 But you can't do it at our expense, and we must be entitled to the same thing.

01:04:42.000 Marcus Antonius, you could buy 200 sessions with James Mom with this.

01:04:46.000 Oof.

01:04:47.000 All right, all right, we got to pump the brakes a little bit.

01:04:51.000 That's, you know, even though friends and followers of James doxed my address and doxed my family and they stole my company and they didn't give me my buyout and doxed my sister and all of that, even though all of that transpired, here on America First, we're going to be classy.

01:05:05.000 We're not going to go after his family.

01:05:06.000 We're only going to go after him.

01:05:08.000 We're only going to go after him in a purely professional way.

01:05:11.000 We're only going to go after James in a purely impersonal, professional way.

01:05:17.000 We tried to have a company that was kind to people with special needs.

01:05:20.000 We tried.

01:05:21.000 We tried our best.

01:05:22.000 We tried to accommodate him.

01:05:24.000 We tried to do all kinds of things for him.

01:05:25.000 And you know what?

01:05:26.000 I wish him and Matt that.

01:05:27.000 I think Matt is doing a real, he's really doing God's work charitably in having this company.

01:05:33.000 It's half owned by him, and he has Jewish DNA. 0.63

01:05:36.000 It's half owned by James, who, you know, bless his heart, he's differently abled, right?

01:05:43.000 You know, he has some special accommodations that he needs.

01:05:46.000 And really, I wish them all the best.

01:05:49.000 It's unfortunate that it couldn't work out, but we wish them the best over at their company.

01:05:55.000 We're not going to go into attacking his mom.

01:05:57.000 I'm sure his mother's a lovely person.

01:05:59.000 She's a Christian, and she tried to convince him to become Christian.

01:06:02.000 So, for that, I commend James Alsop's mother.

01:06:04.000 I would love to take her to dinner sometime, show her a great time because she sounds like a lovely woman. 0.91

01:06:10.000 Joshua Morris, opinion on Khazar milkers.

01:06:13.000 Also, dropped the Discord link.

01:06:14.000 Will somebody do that for this fine gentleman?

01:06:17.000 I got to put a permanent link in the description at some point.

01:06:21.000 Opinion on Khazar milkers. 1.00

01:06:23.000 Do not be tempted by the Khazar milkers. 1.00

01:06:26.000 I know, I know the draw, the temptation is real, but we have to be strong, fellas. 1.00

01:06:31.000 This is where Catholicism comes in.

01:06:34.000 LC1707, post your Discord link.

01:06:37.000 I'll post the Discord link, all right.

01:06:40.000 Let me make.

01:06:41.000 Okay.

01:06:42.000 So let's see.

01:06:43.000 Let me pull it up here.

01:06:45.000 Patrick Gordon says, You don't need to lift, Nick.

01:06:47.000 Great show tonight.

01:06:48.000 Well, thank you.

01:06:49.000 I'm lifting in the library, right?

01:06:51.000 And Ian Weber, name used to be Cool Apple, if you remember that.

01:06:55.000 I do remember that.

01:06:57.000 Matt Williams, it was amazing how you got Jacob Wolf to admit that the $4 billion was nothing, but still didn't want Israel to stop receiving the money.

01:07:05.000 Well, there were a number of things I got him to admit.

01:07:07.000 I mean, in order to defend Israel's position, he had to.

01:07:10.000 Deny that Israel has a nuclear program, which there is, I mean, this basically makes him a foreign actor operating in the United States if he's defending the Israeli party line.

01:07:21.000 That's number one.

01:07:21.000 Number two, I got him to deny empirical and undeniable evidence that Israeli spying was happening in the United States.

01:07:29.000 And, like, that doesn't matter.

01:07:30.000 I don't think if you really cared about America, you would say that foreign spying doesn't matter. 0.65

01:07:34.000 I got him to admit that as a Jewish person, he's biased in favor of Israel. 0.81

01:07:37.000 And then you're right. 0.81

01:07:38.000 I mean, last but not least, we got him to admit that the $4 billion is nothing, and yet it must continue, right?

01:07:45.000 And so let me post the Discord link and then we'll call it a night so I can have some soup and I can scratch my nose and nobody will make gifs of me, gifs of me picking my nose.

01:07:56.000 That never happened, by the way.

01:07:59.000 People say I picked my nose on the stream.

01:08:01.000 That never happened.

01:08:02.000 It's an itch.

01:08:03.000 It's like that episode of Seinfeld.

01:08:05.000 I guess millennials never saw that, so they're not familiar with this experience.

01:08:10.000 So I'm going to copy the Discord link.

01:08:11.000 I'm going to put it in the live chat here and then we'll call it an evening.

01:08:17.000 The Chad scratch versus the Virgin pick.

01:08:21.000 Scratching, not picking.

01:08:22.000 But that's going to do it for us here on America First tonight.
