00:00:02.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:03.000 We're 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 Very high energy.
00:00:10.000 Having an exciting week this week.
00:00:12.000 It's been a lot of content, of course, today.
00:00:16.000 In the afternoon, we had our inaugural episode, our maiden voyage of America First 2018, Election HQ on SoundCloud.
00:00:24.000 Very excited about that.
00:00:25.000 I know we talked on the show a little bit yesterday about 2018, and we said we'd go into much greater detail on the podcast.
00:00:34.000 Today.
00:00:35.000 And we finished recording it this morning.
00:00:37.000 I put it on SoundCloud.
00:00:38.000 It's out there as a free sample.
00:00:39.000 The link is in the description if you want to check that out.
00:00:42.000 And I'm very excited.
00:00:43.000 It's been a pretty productive week in terms of we got our World Report podcast out on Tuesday.
00:00:48.000 We got our election podcast out today.
00:00:51.000 And so we are very excited.
00:00:53.000 Lots of different things to talk about.
00:00:55.000 The world is really going these days in foreign affairs and domestic policy.
00:01:00.000 And certainly there's much to talk about today.
00:01:02.000 A big announcement that just came out.
00:01:05.000 Just a couple of minutes before the show, which we had to scramble a little bit because it's a very big announcement, was the president of France is now sending French troops into Syria to fortify the United States in Manbij against the Turks who are invading over there.
00:01:21.000 And so we're going to get into all of that, but it's just so much going on in terms of we've got a situation in Korea, we've got a situation in Syria, we've got a developing situation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, we've got this election.
00:01:34.000 So it's just there's never been a better time.
00:01:37.000 For a content machine like me to tackle the world.
00:01:40.000 So, there is lots to discuss, lots to get into tonight.
00:01:44.000 We're feeling good.
00:01:45.000 We're coming to a close in this week, Thursday.
00:01:47.000 And I got to say, I got to tell you, the JF and Andy Worski split, you know, I've been thinking about it all week.
00:01:55.000 It's actually not the worst thing for the show.
00:01:57.000 You know, I would say it's a bad thing because I like Andy Worski and I like JF and I like to see him getting along and they make good content.
00:02:04.000 But on the other hand, they say they're only doing blood sports once a week.
00:02:08.000 I got to say, that's not the end of the world.
00:02:10.000 For the America First show, just purely from a ratings perspective.
00:02:14.000 I understand they're doing a little blood sports tonight, but I've been seeing that.
00:02:18.000 And, you know, on the one hand, as a consumer of their content, it's like, you know, oh no, JF and Andy Worski are fighting.
00:02:24.000 But from an America First perspective, it's like, you know, now people are finally coming back around.
00:02:30.000 They're coming back home to where they belong on the America First show.
00:02:34.000 So we're keeping an eye on that.
00:02:36.000 And then the other thing I noticed, this is something that nobody's talking about in the news.
00:02:41.000 And, There's no information about it.
00:02:43.000 Nobody knows what's going on.
00:02:44.000 But apparently, there's a Chinese lab in outer space that's supposed to plummet to the Earth over the weekend.
00:02:52.000 And I don't know if it's just me, but every time it's like, you know, earthquake warning, every time there's some kind of weird thing going on, I always get a little bit perturbed.
00:03:01.000 I always get a little bit paranoid.
00:03:02.000 And they say about this Chinese space station, apparently, it's floating around the world.
00:03:09.000 And they don't know when, but at some point, Over the weekend, it's going to crash into the earth.
00:03:14.000 They don't know how much of it's going to crash.
00:03:16.000 They don't know where it's going to crash.
00:03:17.000 I'm reading the article.
00:03:18.000 They're like, Yeah, there's just going to be this massive piece of metal from outer space and it's going to crash.
00:03:24.000 And then they're like, Yeah, we don't really know where it's going to land.
00:03:27.000 It'll probably land either in the United States or Europe or Africa or Canada or Australia.
00:03:34.000 It's like, Well, that doesn't really help anybody, right?
00:03:37.000 And then it's like, Well, how much of it's going to crash?
00:03:39.000 How much of it is going to burn up in the atmosphere?
00:03:41.000 How much is actually going to make it?
00:03:42.000 They're like, We don't really know.
00:03:44.000 It could be.
00:03:45.000 It could be none of it.
00:03:46.000 It could be like 10% of it, but we don't know where it's going to land.
00:03:49.000 We don't know how it's going to land.
00:03:50.000 But you shouldn't worry about it because there's only like a one in a trillion odds, you know, or a chance that it'll hit a human being.
00:03:57.000 And I don't know because then you wonder am I the one in a trillion?
00:04:01.000 Would I be safe if I hung out in the basement the whole weekend, which I probably was planning on doing anyway?
00:04:06.000 Would I be safe underground?
00:04:07.000 Would it smash through the roof and the floor also and crash into the basement?
00:04:13.000 I mean, what if it's you?
00:04:14.000 What if while you're trying to get away, it also hits you?
00:04:18.000 I don't know.
00:04:19.000 That kind of stuff freaks me out.
00:04:20.000 I'll have to get in a bunker over the weekend.
00:04:22.000 We might have to broadcast our Fortnite stream this weekend and have an Easter celebration in a cave or something because it's freaking me out.
00:04:30.000 I don't know if that happens to anybody else.
00:04:32.000 They say it's very slim odds, but you never know.
00:04:35.000 You never know.
00:04:36.000 They always say it's like a one in so many odds, but it still has to happen somewhere, you know?
00:04:41.000 It's going to happen.
00:04:42.000 There's a trillion potentialities, but hey, one of them's you.
00:04:45.000 And what happens?
00:04:46.000 It's got to be one of them.
00:04:47.000 What happens if it's you?
00:04:49.000 So we're worried about that.
00:04:50.000 But to get into the news, before we get into the news, I just want to do that plug again.
00:04:54.000 You've got to check in the description.
00:04:56.000 I don't know if I totally summarize it.
00:04:57.000 Remember that this week we have our two free sample podcasts for our premium members.
00:05:04.000 From now on, World Report and Election HQ, they're only for the premium members.
00:05:08.000 But for this week, It's a sample.
00:05:10.000 So, everybody, it's available to the public.
00:05:12.000 It's available to everybody who has an internet connection or whatever.
00:05:16.000 The two first episodes are free samples.
00:05:18.000 But remember, because I didn't say that at the beginning, next week they are exclusive to America First Premium members who have signed up on Maker Support.
00:05:27.000 So, you got to go over and check that out if you want to get the content to keep coming, if you want to keep getting World Report and Election HQ.
00:05:34.000 But with that out of the way, we got to march right along into the news.
00:05:37.000 And the biggest thing I want to talk about is the latest development, which is France.
00:05:42.000 And they're now jumping into Syria.
00:05:45.000 And so, to give you a little bit of background before we jump into what exactly transpired today, this is something we've been talking about on this show for a long time, for the past couple of months, which is the situation in Syria.
00:05:57.000 So, of course, the Syrian civil war has been raging since the Arab Spring in 2011, and the tides of battle have turned many times.
00:06:05.000 In the beginning, the rebels were winning the war, the rebels had consolidated a great deal of the country.
00:06:11.000 ISIS obviously controlled about a third of Syria.
00:06:14.000 They were very much on the rise, they had a significant impact.
00:06:17.000 Territorial presence in Syria, and the government was beaten back.
00:06:21.000 The government, it was looking like they were going to be defeated.
00:06:23.000 Assad and the pro government forces were on the ropes, so to speak, and this was around 2013, 2014.
00:06:32.000 Then, with the intervention of Russia, and Russia supplied airstrikes, mercenary troops, other foreign involvement, Iran hired something like 250,000 militiamen and mercenaries, and that's a combination of actual Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers, mercenaries, Shiite militiamen.
00:06:50.000 I mean, all kinds of different people, but in total, you have about a quarter of a million Iranian troops that are on Iran's payroll in Syria intervening on behalf of the Assad governments.
00:07:02.000 You have Russia, you have Iran.
00:07:04.000 China jumped in very recently and supplied their troops.
00:07:08.000 And over the course of the last five years or so, Assad and pro government forces have beaten back the rebels.
00:07:14.000 They've crushed ISIS.
00:07:15.000 And now it's looking like Assad will remain in power, that Assad will consolidate his country and he'll still be around.
00:07:22.000 It's looking like, you know, you can't.
00:07:23.000 You can't stop the Assad.
00:07:25.000 Unlike Saddam Hussein, unlike Muammar Gaddafi, it looks like Assad was really one of the first dictators in this era of American hegemony who's able to stand the test of time without either submitting and capitulating to the United States or being invaded.
00:07:39.000 So his pro government forces have been reclaiming the land.
00:07:42.000 The one issue, however, is the Kurds, which the Kurds, they're the largest, and I always have to laugh when I say this, they're the largest ethnic group in the world without a country, which is, of course, not true, because I can also think of other large ethnic groups in the world.
00:07:57.000 Without a country.
00:07:58.000 The Germans, the French, white Americans, Canadians, you know, so I could think of a few more.
00:08:03.000 But technically, according to like the United Nations definition, the Kurds are the largest ethnic majority, or rather, the largest ethnic group in the world without their own homeland, without their own country.
00:08:15.000 And so they're in southeastern Turkey, they're in north, they're in northern Syria, the whole northern part of Syria, they're in Iran, they're in Iraq.
00:08:22.000 I mean, they're all over the Middle East.
00:08:25.000 And so now what we're seeing is although ISIS is diminishing, although the rebel forces, Forces are being routed all across Syria and in Damascus and their last stronghold in eastern Ghouta, which is around the capital of Damascus.
00:08:37.000 The last real trick here, the last real problem, even though the whole country is basically being shored up and solidified by pro government forces, the last real snag here is the Kurds, which the Kurds have a significant presence along the Syrian and Turkish border.
00:08:53.000 They're also in neighboring Iraq.
00:08:56.000 And during the war, the United States supported the Kurds in defeating ISIS.
00:09:00.000 You had several fronts break out against ISIS, the pro government forces, you had the Iraqi front, and you had the Kurds in both Iraq and Syria.
00:09:08.000 And the reason the United States backed the Kurds is that traditionally the United States and the Kurds were allies.
00:09:13.000 The Kurds were very good fighters against ISIS.
00:09:16.000 They were able to deliver significant victories against ISIS in northern Syria when the pro government forces were lagging a little bit, when they didn't know how to respond so much to the rise of ISIS.
00:09:27.000 And so the United States had been backing the Kurds, they'd been giving them material support, military support, flying airstrikes.
00:09:33.000 We have Officially on the record, about 2,500 American military personnel in the way of advisors and also officers and military, just straight up infantrymen and that kind of thing.
00:09:44.000 And so we've been involved with the Kurds for a little while.
00:09:47.000 President Trump famously, maybe it wasn't so famous, but we talked about it certainly on this show.
00:09:52.000 He opened up a new arms deal with the Kurds where we began selling heavy weaponry to the Kurds, which was controversial.
00:09:59.000 It was seen as controversial by many because here we were promised by the president that we would go into Syria, eliminate ISIS, and then get out.
00:10:06.000 And we weren't really going to tamper so much with Assad and figure out what was going on after.
00:10:11.000 We were going to first focus on fighting ISIS.
00:10:14.000 And so when people saw that the president was initiating new arms sales into these rebels, which, you know, the Kurds weren't a part of the rebels opposing Assad, but they were in some capacity rebelling against the authority and the sovereignty of Assad because the Kurds have always exercised some degree of autonomy as separate from the Iraqi central government, the Syrian central government.
00:10:35.000 They're culturally dissimilar from the rest of Syria.
00:10:37.000 And so giving this kind of support.
00:10:39.000 To the Kurds was seen as creating some kind of instability in Syria, some kind of implicit challenge to Assad's legitimacy in Syria.
00:10:48.000 So we were selling weapons, we were doing a lot of business with the Kurds, and that didn't present so much of a problem when Assad was on the ropes.
00:10:55.000 When Assad was on the ropes and it was basically anything goes, Iran was running loose in there, Russia, China, they were all doing their thing in Syria.
00:11:02.000 That wasn't much of a problem.
00:11:04.000 Now, however, as Syria is consolidating control of the country and the Kurds are consolidating control of northern Syria, now it presents a problem for Turkey.
00:11:14.000 Which Turkey borders Syria to the north.
00:11:16.000 And Turkey has had a problem with the Kurds for a long time.
00:11:19.000 They've had a terrorist organization operating in Turkey called the PKK or the Kurdish Workers' Party, which has been officially designated a terrorist group in Turkey for about 30 years.
00:11:30.000 And we saw a lot of terrorism throughout the Obama administration in Turkey bus bombings, all kinds of bombings and shootings in Ankara, in Istanbul by the part of the Kurds.
00:11:39.000 Many people thought it was ISIS wrongly because they didn't understand the dynamics of Turkey, when in actuality, it was the Kurds who have been repressed in Turkey for a long time.
00:11:48.000 Who have been fighting for sovereignty and autonomy in southwestern, or rather southeastern Turkey for a long time.
00:11:54.000 And so now, Turkey, they see the Kurds getting very powerful in northern Syria, right along their border.
00:12:00.000 They see them getting arms from the United States.
00:12:03.000 They see them consolidating their rule in these areas where the rebels and ISIS are being routed.
00:12:08.000 Recently, there was a referendum held by the Iraqi Kurds for a Kurdistan nation.
00:12:14.000 They held the referendum saying, Would you support the creation of a Kurdish state?
00:12:18.000 And it wasn't very popular, but it was a sign that Kurds were creating some kind of national consciousness as this instability has been wrought by ISIS and maybe delegitimized.
00:12:29.000 Destabilized countries like Iraq and Syria, which formerly held back the Kurds.
00:12:34.000 And so Turkey is watching the situation where these people have terrorized Turkey for 30 years and now they're growing into some kind of prominence, some kind of military strength.
00:12:42.000 And so starting in January, President Erdogan of Turkey launched an offensive in Afrin, which is a small enclave in northern Syria, which is a little bit isolated from the rest of the Kurdish area in northern Syria.
00:12:56.000 You have Afrin, and Afrin is separated by a significant tract of land.
00:13:00.000 which is held by pro-Turkish rebels on the border.
00:13:03.000 So you have Afrin, you have these ostensibly Turkish rebel forces, and then you have a much bigger swath of land where the Kurds are.
00:13:11.000 This is where Manbij is, this is where the United States is fortified, this is where the Kurds' bread and butter is, so to speak.
00:13:18.000 So starting in January, President Erdogan of Turkey, he intervened in Afrin in this small enclave, and gradually over the course of the last several months, he's been invading on all sides, closing in on this city in the center of this enclave.
00:13:30.000 And just recently, the Turks raised their flags over Afrin.
00:13:33.000 They took over this region.
00:13:35.000 And as this siege has taken place, this has caused a lot of alarm in the United States because Erdogan has said that once he takes Afrin, he's going to march across that tract of land which separates Afrin from Manbij.
00:13:48.000 And Manbij is where the United States is, that's where our Kurdish allies are.
00:13:52.000 Once he's done in Afrin, he's going to march across that tract of land and he'll invade Manbij whether the United States is there or not.
00:13:59.000 So, of course, while Afrin is under siege, this is creating a lot of anxiety for the United States, for the Defense Department.
00:14:04.000 Because Turkey is a NATO ally.
00:14:07.000 According to the NATO Charter, Article 5 says that if any one NATO member is attacked, the rest would have to come to the defense of that country.
00:14:15.000 That's what makes it a defensive alliance.
00:14:17.000 And so you imagine that we're in this all important geostrategic alliance with Turkey, and now they'll be fighting United States troops.
00:14:24.000 That's a diplomatic, that's a geostrategic disaster, the likes of which hasn't been seen in a very long time.
00:14:31.000 And so as Erdogan is making his advances on this city, the United States is saying, what are we going to do?
00:14:36.000 Will Erdogan follow through?
00:14:37.000 Will he invade Manbij?
00:14:39.000 Is this bluster?
00:14:40.000 How can we deter this kind of an attack without it resorting to violence, without us having to kill our NATO allies?
00:14:47.000 As we saw a very aggressive strike by the United States earlier in the winter, and this was much talked about in the alt right as a betrayal of President Trump on his promise to keep us out of Syria and to build better rapport with Russia.
00:15:02.000 Because we did a big airstrike in January, which was reportedly in response to.
00:15:09.000 Some kind of an attack on a compound in Kurdistan, some kind of an attack on the YPG headquarters, unprovoked by pro government forces.
00:15:18.000 And so the United States launched a very aggressive airstrike, killing 100 Russian mercenaries, which Vladimir Putin didn't intervene because he said these were mercenaries, were not affiliated with these people.
00:15:28.000 But many people, myself included, saw that airstrike as a way to deter Erdogan, saying, You're on notice, we are willing to act in the region.
00:15:36.000 But it looks like Erdogan is pressing right ahead and going towards Manbij.
00:15:39.000 And this brings us to today, the latest development, which is very, very worrisome, which is that President Macron of France has announced that immediately, immediately, he will be mobilizing an indeterminate amount of troops into Manbij to fortify the United States presence there and to defend the Kurds.
00:15:58.000 And so now you understand, now you're starting to see where the conflict is coming together here, where all these different countries are all coming together in a very troubling way.
00:16:07.000 It's looking, in a lot of ways, a lot like World War I.
00:16:11.000 A lot like World War II, where great powers are being drawn into these proxy wars to shore up their allies.
00:16:18.000 And I wouldn't say that we're at risk of World War III.
00:16:20.000 I wouldn't say that there's an imminent threat of a global catastrophe and a falling out.
00:16:26.000 But you understand that once you get all these great powers within a failed state, you get France and the United States and Turkey and Russia and China and Iran and Syria, and they're all in the same very small country.
00:16:42.000 They're all in the failed state.
00:16:44.000 People don't know who's who.
00:16:45.000 You can't distinguish one tribe from the other.
00:16:48.000 You don't know where one country is.
00:16:49.000 You don't know where the other country is.
00:16:50.000 You don't know if they're mercenaries, if they're Russian troops.
00:16:54.000 You don't know if they're American advisors, if they're Kurdish troops.
00:16:57.000 I mean, what happens in this kind of a situation is not necessarily that the United States will declare war on Turkey or the United States will declare war on Russia.
00:17:07.000 The problem is that in these close quarters, when there's confusion, when there's the fog of war, it increases the probability, it increases the likelihood.
00:17:15.000 That there's a miscalculation increases the likelihood that a mistake is made.
00:17:21.000 And when you're in this kind of a high stakes situation, a mistake could be very costly.
00:17:25.000 What happens if the United States conducts an airstrike and they kill Russians?
00:17:29.000 And not just mercenaries, but Russian troops.
00:17:32.000 What happens if Turks kill Frenchmen in Manbij?
00:17:35.000 Is France going to go to war with Turkey?
00:17:38.000 Are all the NATO allies going to go to war against Turkey in defense of France?
00:17:43.000 How will that bode for Russia and Turkey?
00:17:45.000 Will Turkey be driven?
00:17:47.000 Into closer cooperation with Russia?
00:17:49.000 Will that create a realignment in Eurasia?
00:17:52.000 There are a lot of potentialities here.
00:17:55.000 There are a lot of outcomes where this is no good.
00:17:58.000 This is no good for anybody.
00:17:59.000 And France getting involved is just escalating the conflict.
00:18:02.000 But I mean, to be fair, there really are not a lot of good solutions here.
00:18:06.000 In a way, you could look at French involvement as some deterrent that if the Turks are going to go to war against the United States, if they're going to shell this city, if we're calling them on their bluff, They're going to have to attack the United States, and now they're going to have to attack France.
00:18:21.000 And you wonder is that something they're going to do?
00:18:23.000 Turkey is trying to get in the European Union.
00:18:26.000 Turkey is trying to navigate these waters with other European nations, with the migrant crisis, and with other things.
00:18:35.000 Are they willing to alienate Europe?
00:18:37.000 Are they willing to alienate NATO and the European Union?
00:18:40.000 Maybe that's the calculation here.
00:18:41.000 Maybe it's a deterrent.
00:18:42.000 But either way, it's very unsettling.
00:18:45.000 And we'll be keeping an eye on that.
00:18:46.000 I think we'll do a spotlight on that.
00:18:48.000 For America First World Report on Tuesday, because this is really shaping up to be like the conflict of the century.
00:18:54.000 It's all going down in Syria, and it's very uncomfortable.
00:18:57.000 It's very not good when you get all these big countries, and they're all just in this.
00:19:02.000 It's like Fortnite, essentially.
00:19:03.000 It's like Fortnite.
00:19:04.000 And all these teams are just on the island.
00:19:06.000 Not to make a cheesy, how do you do, fellow kids analogy, but I mean, that's really what it's like.
00:19:11.000 It's just like anything goes, total anarchy, free for all, and it's Team France and Team USA and Team Russia, and God knows who else is even in there.
00:19:20.000 China, they say they have troops in there.
00:19:22.000 So.
00:19:23.000 There is a very high chance now with all these different actors in there, and as ISIS is cleaned up, and now you're forming some kind of solid boundaries between actual real political actors as opposed to tribes and militiamen and ISIS, you know, a proto terrorist state.
00:19:39.000 Now, you actually have countries coming into friction with each other as the situation is sewn up.
00:19:44.000 And so there's a much higher risk, there's a much higher probability of something going very, very wrong.
00:19:50.000 And who knows?
00:19:51.000 It could be Israel to like the fuse.
00:19:52.000 I think that's kind of the scary thing maybe this wouldn't even be so much of a problem.
00:19:56.000 Maybe this wouldn't even be the end of the world.
00:19:59.000 France and the United States could conduct diplomacy with Turkey, with Russia, with Syria.
00:20:03.000 The wild card in all of this is Israel, which Israel has been ramping up for a war in Syria for quite some time.
00:20:10.000 They've been actually setting up.
00:20:12.000 For a war in Syria, because Israel right now sees themselves as under siege from Hezbollah in Lebanon.
00:20:19.000 They see themselves as under siege from Iran, which has a greater and greater presence in Syria.
00:20:24.000 They're trying to defend their illegal acquisitions in the Golan Heights, which they seized in the 1967 war, and they officially claimed in the 1980s.
00:20:34.000 And so we saw last month they did a series of very aggressive airstrikes in Syria in response to allegedly one Iranian drone flying to Israeli airspace.
00:20:44.000 Into Israeli airspace.
00:20:45.000 They launched a dozen airstrikes.
00:20:47.000 One of their ships got shot down.
00:20:49.000 One of their planes got shot down.
00:20:51.000 So they went in and launched a dozen more.
00:20:52.000 I mean, they're going crazy over there.
00:20:54.000 And the question becomes is Israel going to launch a war in Syria to get Iran out of Syria?
00:21:01.000 And then what happens with the United States?
00:21:02.000 Is the United States obligated to go to war with Israel?
00:21:05.000 Are we obligated to support them?
00:21:07.000 Are we willing to go to war against Russia for this political resolution in Syria?
00:21:12.000 I think that's the question at the end of the day what are we willing to do in this region?
00:21:16.000 What are our interests?
00:21:18.000 Can we clearly identify why the American people have an interest, have a reason to intervene in Syria?
00:21:25.000 And then understand are those interests worth potentially going to war with Russia?
00:21:31.000 Are those, whatever convoluted, obscure reasons the Pentagon can come up with for why we have any troops at all in Syria after ISIS is gone, can we justify those interests on the premise that we would be significantly risking an all out confrontation?
00:21:48.000 A military convention in the desert with Russia and China and Iran over those interests.
00:21:54.000 Is it worth it?
00:21:54.000 I don't think anybody could say yes to that.
00:21:57.000 Maybe Bill Crystal could.
00:21:58.000 Of course, he could always say that.
00:22:00.000 John McCain, Lindsey Graham could always say that.
00:22:03.000 But us, the American people, I don't think so.
00:22:05.000 So it's very messy.
00:22:06.000 It's very ugly.
00:22:07.000 We're looking at that today, and it's just no good.
00:22:11.000 It's very disconcerting.
00:22:14.000 And I guess we've got to be a little bit thankful that we never got Hillary Clinton.
00:22:17.000 If we had Hillary Clinton, we would be to hell and back already with nuclear warfare with Russia.
00:22:22.000 So, I guess we've at least bought ourselves some time with our shadow government that Trump is at least trying to hold back the tide here.
00:22:28.000 But either way, nobody likes what's going on there.
00:22:30.000 So, we'll keep an eye on that.
00:22:31.000 I think we'll spotlight that on Tuesday.
00:22:33.000 But moving right along, we had another controversial story.
00:22:37.000 This is a good one.
00:22:38.000 This is a juicy one.
00:22:39.000 A big controversial story here in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
00:22:45.000 And you're not going to see this.
00:22:46.000 I don't think you'll see this on Fox News.
00:22:48.000 I don't think you'll definitely won't see this on CNN.
00:22:51.000 You won't see this on NBC or.
00:22:53.000 CBS or anything.
00:22:54.000 But we have a very provocative story here at Harding High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
00:23:01.000 This high school is put on lockdown on Wednesday after police said that a school employee threatened to go on a killing spree.
00:23:09.000 Oh no!
00:23:10.000 A school employee threatens to go on a killing spree.
00:23:12.000 And notice how they say, like, you know, they put the school on lockdown.
00:23:16.000 And I'm reading from the article from the Associated Press.
00:23:18.000 They put the school on lockdown after an employee threatens to go on a killing spree.
00:23:22.000 And notice, like, how many paragraphs it takes them to identify what's going on here.
00:23:27.000 Carl Lemon, who is age 63, is an in school suspension coordinator.
00:23:33.000 He was charged with second degree threatening in breach of peace and was later released on a $5,000 bond.
00:23:38.000 So we're two paragraphs in.
00:23:39.000 We don't know anything about this guy.
00:23:41.000 Could be, who knows?
00:23:42.000 Could he be Muslim?
00:23:43.000 Could he be white?
00:23:44.000 Could he be black?
00:23:45.000 What are his motivations?
00:23:46.000 All we know, two paragraphs in, is we've got a high school employee who's threatened to go on a killing spree and he's an old guy, 63, Carl Lemon.
00:23:54.000 That doesn't sound like a foreign name or anything, so who knows?
00:23:58.000 Police said shortly after noon officers were dispatched to the high school for a threatening situation.
00:24:03.000 We're on paragraph three.
00:24:04.000 The school's principal, Dane Brown, told officer.
00:24:07.000 Told the officer that Lemon had made threatening statements to another teacher.
00:24:10.000 We're on paragraph four.
00:24:12.000 Police said Lemon stated that he hates white people.
00:24:15.000 Oh, so here we are on paragraph five of the article.
00:24:18.000 Not in the headline, not in the first paragraph, second, third, fourth.
00:24:22.000 We're all the way down towards the end where they finally admit police said that Lemon stated the reason that he was motivated to make these threats was that he hates white people and couldn't wait, quote, for the Panthers to give the okay and a revolution begins because he will execute every white man.
00:24:41.000 He gets his hands on.
00:24:45.000 Now, would you get all that?
00:24:47.000 Would you glean all of that from the headline?
00:24:49.000 Would you glean that this was a hate crime?
00:24:51.000 That this was a racially motivated black supremacist, black exterminationist hate crime against white people from the headline or from any of the preceding paragraphs?
00:25:01.000 Bridgeport.
00:25:02.000 Harding High School was put on lockdown Wednesday after police said a school employee threatened to go on a killing spree.
00:25:08.000 And notice even how the sentence is configured.
00:25:10.000 It's configured in such a way that the direct object in the sentence.
00:25:13.000 Rather, the subject of the sentence isn't even the racist who wants to kill all white people.
00:25:19.000 It's the school was put on lockdown.
00:25:21.000 I mean, think about even the way they phrase the sentence.
00:25:24.000 The school was put on lockdown Wednesday after this happened.
00:25:27.000 So, I mean, the subject of the sentence is the school being put on lockdown.
00:25:30.000 And only later on do they reveal oh, wait a minute.
00:25:33.000 A Black Panther, a political, racial extremist, a racial supremacist, said he wants to exterminate, he will kill every white man he gets his hands on.
00:25:44.000 In a school, he was arrested for doing this.
00:25:48.000 Has there been a big media outcry about this one?
00:25:51.000 Has there been a big Twitter moments category?
00:25:54.000 Twitter is outraged over black supremacists who says X, Y, and Z. Was this a big headline on CNN?
00:26:01.000 Did they talk about this?
00:26:02.000 Were there any terror specialists going on on CNN saying, well, actually, if you look at the data, black men are the racial supremacists?
00:26:10.000 I think not.
00:26:11.000 And when you see stories like this, when you see moments like this, and by the way, this happens time and time again, whether it's a Muslim terror attack, whether it's black crime, Whether it's black, racially motivated crime, you always get this treatment.
00:26:24.000 Nobody talks about it.
00:26:25.000 It gets swept under the rug.
00:26:27.000 When it is reported, they barely even mention the fact that he's an African American individual who's threatening to exterminate white people.
00:26:36.000 Could you imagine if there were a similar case?
00:26:38.000 And think of the context also.
00:26:40.000 Think very carefully about the context.
00:26:42.000 In the context of the Parkland shooting, if you had a school faculty member, say, some old white racist, some old white bastard, all these white people are so expendable.
00:26:54.000 If you had some old white guy in a high school and he was making threats to other teachers saying, when the alt right gives the okay and the revolution begins, I'll execute every black man I get my hands on.
00:27:08.000 Could you imagine?
00:27:09.000 Could you imagine if a white faculty member said something to that effect about the alt right, about people of color in the wake of the Parkland shooting?
00:27:17.000 Could you imagine the outcry?
00:27:19.000 David Hogg would be right on it.
00:27:21.000 Emma Gonzalez would be right on it.
00:27:23.000 It would be all over CNN.
00:27:24.000 Rise of the alt right.
00:27:26.000 White supremacy in America, white nationalist terror on the rise in America.
00:27:30.000 We would get Ezra Klein with the stupid little glasses on the video.
00:27:34.000 You know, actually, the real terrorists are the white people.
00:27:38.000 You know, never mind the 3,000 lives on 9 11 and 30,000 people or terrorists attacked since 9 11 by Muslims.
00:27:46.000 The white people are the real ones.
00:27:47.000 You'd get Ezra Klein up there.
00:27:49.000 You'd get some, you know, bitchy woman on CNN saying, and you know, actually, Don, you know, if you look at the data, white people are the real.
00:27:55.000 So you would get the whole nine yards on this if it was a white person.
00:28:00.000 Of course, we saw a similar episode.
00:28:02.000 With the South Carolina church shooting versus the Tennessee church shooting.
00:28:06.000 We see this all day long.
00:28:08.000 And nobody wants to talk about it.
00:28:09.000 Nobody says anything about it.
00:28:11.000 And why this matters, why this is important, is because it serves to demonstrate that the left, in a very clear and stark and black and white way, no pun intended, it shows that the left does not believe in their stated principles.
00:28:26.000 The left does not believe when they go out and they tell you they believe in equality, they believe in egalitarianism, they believe in anti racism, they believe in love and peace.
00:28:36.000 And all of that, it's all a lie.
00:28:38.000 Of course, it's all a lie.
00:28:40.000 Their stated principles are shown to be completely shallow and hollow and actually just outright disingenuous when you see racism against white people, because when you see that, it's either ignored, in some cases, it's celebrated, but at the very least, nobody's making a big fuss about it like we do with anybody else.
00:28:58.000 And that's why these stories are important, because they go to show for anybody who is confused, anybody who is uncertain, for anybody who is still ambiguous whether or not the left really cares about if you're being.
00:29:09.000 A supremacist, if you're being a racialist or anything like that, they don't care when it's white people because it's never been about racism.
00:29:16.000 It's been about an anti white agenda.
00:29:19.000 And so these things they'll readily swipe under the rug.
00:29:22.000 They'll readily put that away.
00:29:24.000 And then at the same time, they'll pretend like there's a white supremacist problem in the country.
00:29:28.000 You know, I mean, it's this weird thing where at once they are the underdog, at once they are David fighting Goliath.
00:29:34.000 They are eternally fighting against the system and the status quo.
00:29:38.000 And that's why Twitter is their sponsor, right?
00:29:41.000 That's why Twitter champions their cause and Facebook does, and all the politicians and the banks and the media and the IPSs or the ISPs, rather.
00:29:49.000 That's why they all collude to prop up the left wing narrative, right?
00:29:52.000 Because they're so powerless.
00:29:54.000 So, on the one hand, they want it so that we're the underdogs.
00:29:59.000 It's institutional white supremacy, it's institutional racism.
00:30:02.000 There's a lot of work to be done.
00:30:03.000 You always hear that one.
00:30:05.000 But at the same time, they also have it that the media controls the narrative, Facebook controls everything and all the rest, and they're all on the left.
00:30:13.000 So, I see something like that, and it just makes my skin crawl because you know that if the roles were reversed, and certainly I've said things far less extreme, far less hateful, far less outright exterminationist, and I've gotten raked over the coals by Media Matters and Huffington Post and Time and the Associated Press and all these different things.
00:30:36.000 You know, I say we should kill people that are traitors to our country, and I'm plastered all over.
00:30:40.000 CNN's calling RSBN saying, this Nick guy.
00:30:44.000 Is he really going to come kill us?
00:30:46.000 I'm at Charlottesville saying white identity is on the rise.
00:30:49.000 People are calling me up, sending me death threats.
00:30:51.000 And the media is saying, you know, this white supremacist Nazi gets kicked out of Boston.
00:30:56.000 Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
00:30:58.000 This guy, he's out there in a public school after the worst school shooting in five years, saying he's going to exterminate all white people.
00:31:04.000 And he can't find anybody to talk about it.
00:31:05.000 Very convenient.
00:31:07.000 So that's the white man killing spree.
00:31:09.000 Hey, we're looking forward to it, right?
00:31:10.000 We're looking forward to it.
00:31:12.000 Try it.
00:31:13.000 Try it.
00:31:14.000 Try the killing spree.
00:31:16.000 We don't want to see anybody die.
00:31:18.000 But, you know, something's going to have to change.
00:31:23.000 You know, we talked about this with Mike Tokes on the ethnic nationalist debate.
00:31:28.000 It's not a question of can I get along with other races or on an individual level if you and me can get along.
00:31:35.000 It's a question of can this situation endure?
00:31:39.000 Can these two very different peoples with very antagonistic histories or histories of antagonism live side by side without things like this and without things like this sparking much greater conflict?
00:31:53.000 Answer you'll find is probably no.
00:31:55.000 And look, as much as I'd like to say we can all live in peace and harmony, as much as I like to turn on the television and we watch the feel good stuff that tells us, you know, oh, look, here, we're all enjoying each other and it doesn't matter that we have differences.
00:32:08.000 We're Americans and we can overcome that.
00:32:10.000 As much as I would so love to believe that's possible.
00:32:13.000 And often I find myself drifting towards that every now and again, saying, you know, can we, is it really so difficult?
00:32:18.000 Can't we just try this?
00:32:20.000 But then you see human nature time and time again will disappoint you.
00:32:23.000 You will see things like this.
00:32:25.000 All that goodwill will go away in an instant when you see these kinds of racially motivated people.
00:32:30.000 Things which inevitably occur in a multiracial country.
00:32:33.000 And that's just about the most honest take you're going to hear about race relations in the country today.
00:32:37.000 Would we like it to work?
00:32:39.000 Yeah.
00:32:40.000 Could we try to make it work?
00:32:41.000 We could try.
00:32:42.000 But ultimately, it comes down to a coin toss.
00:32:44.000 It comes down to a coin toss.
00:32:46.000 We're flipping a coin and gambling our whole future of our civilization on whether we can be the one country that defies all the odds that our Anglo Protestant tradition and the American creed and all of that is able to overcome human nature.
00:33:01.000 Or are we going to be like every other country at every other time in human history and collapse into civil war?
00:33:07.000 Who knows?
00:33:08.000 It's a coin toss.
00:33:08.000 Who knows?
00:33:10.000 No pressure, right?
00:33:11.000 But so that's the white killing spree.
00:33:13.000 The last thing we got to talk about here, pretty quick episode.
00:33:17.000 Before we get into our questions and remember to send them up on the Streamlabs, I just set up my Twitch verification where you go into Twitch and you set it up so that you're like an affiliate.
00:33:28.000 I think they call it like the Twitch affiliate, like YouTube, you have partners.
00:33:31.000 Twitch, it's affiliate.
00:33:32.000 So I'm on Twitch.
00:33:33.000 You can do cheers now or bits on Twitch.
00:33:36.000 I don't look, I don't know how it works.
00:33:37.000 All right.
00:33:38.000 I'm compared to Generation Z, younger Generation Z, where they know like who Logan Paul is and they know like all that, the new stuff.
00:33:46.000 I feel like an old man now because for the first time, I feel like there's people younger than me that know means that I don't know.
00:33:52.000 So I guess the younger people are better.
00:33:53.000 They know the Twitch better than me.
00:33:55.000 There's bits that you can donate where you buy bits and I guess you throw them at content creators or you put them up.
00:34:02.000 And bits you can turn into cheers and cheers, cash them in for money.
00:34:02.000 Look, I don't know.
00:34:06.000 I don't know how it works, but you can donate on Twitch.
00:34:08.000 You can also use the Streamlabs link down below.
00:34:11.000 Remember to check that out for questions, comments, all of that good stuff.
00:34:15.000 If you want to get in touch during the show in the last 15 minutes, send it up on Streamlabs.
00:34:20.000 Now that I'm on Twitch, they'll verify me on Streamlabs, and then you don't have to use PayPal.
00:34:24.000 You could use a credit card as well.
00:34:25.000 So that's coming soon.
00:34:28.000 So check that out.
00:34:28.000 Remember, 30% goes to Google if you do Super Chats.
00:34:31.000 We still like Super Chats, but we prefer the Streamlabs.
00:34:34.000 So the last big thing we got to talk about this is just absolutely outrageous, and I'm sure everybody's seen this already.
00:34:40.000 Which is David Hogg's Inquisition, the David Hogg Inquisition against Laura Ingram, which is just brutal.
00:34:48.000 I mean, this is just the epitome of Clown World, where if you haven't seen it already, Laura Ingram, who's great, I love Laura Ingram.
00:34:55.000 She's very smart, she's very tough.
00:34:57.000 She did a radio show, which I listened to for a long time when I was working in my dad's company.
00:35:01.000 I used to listen to her when I was doing my work, and I liked her a lot.
00:35:06.000 I didn't like, she kept plugging her weird outlet, which is called The Life Zet, which I guess it was an okay magazine, but the name was just weird.
00:35:13.000 The Life Zet?
00:35:14.000 It's kind of goofy to me.
00:35:14.000 I don't know.
00:35:16.000 But she did The Life Zet.
00:35:17.000 She did her radio show.
00:35:18.000 Now she's got a show on Fox News.
00:35:20.000 It's like The Ingram Angle or something.
00:35:22.000 And so she went out and she tweeted about David Hogg, who's this kid, the skinny kid, who's causing all this trouble about Parkland and who's bullying politicians and everything and throwing up, you know, Roman salutes and all that.
00:35:34.000 Laura Ingram gets on his case and she makes fun of him on Twitter for not getting into college.
00:35:38.000 He got rejected from all these, like, really easy colleges to get into.
00:35:42.000 He got rejected from colleges that have, like, an 80% approval rating.
00:35:46.000 He did badly on his SATs, on his grades.
00:35:49.000 And so Laura Ingram basically, she, like, made fun of him on Twitter.
00:35:52.000 Said, like, you know, David Hogg didn't get into these colleges.
00:35:54.000 He only had a grade point average of.
00:35:57.000 You know, whatever, whatever it was.
00:35:58.000 And so David Hogg fires back immediately.
00:36:00.000 What I think is like an innocuous tweet, just some, you know, punchy little kind of thing from Laura Ingram.
00:36:06.000 David Hogg responds and says, Hey, can anybody remind me who Laura Ingram's top sponsors are?
00:36:11.000 Asking for a friend.
00:36:12.000 And so all of a sudden now you have seven sponsors.
00:36:15.000 Seven of Laura Ingram's biggest sponsors have pulled out of her show because David Hogg, this little shit, this little kid, this skinny kid, this Jewish kid, gets on Twitter and says, Here are the 12 big sponsors.
00:36:27.000 You know, boycott these people.
00:36:28.000 And now she has.
00:36:29.000 You have Hulu, you have TripAdvisor, you have all these big sponsors pulling their ads from Laura Ingram's show.
00:36:36.000 She's been forced to make an apology, which I think is the worst part of it all.
00:36:40.000 That's the sickest part, is that the tough Laura Ingram has been brought to heel by the eternal David Hogg.
00:36:47.000 And you look at something like this, and it's just, number one, it's just so on its face absurd and ridiculous and clownish and scary.
00:36:55.000 But then you actually break it down and you think, wait a minute, are these kids political activists or are they kids?
00:37:00.000 Which is it?
00:37:01.000 They want to have it always.
00:37:03.000 Where at once, take us seriously, we're kids.
00:37:06.000 Donald Trump, I hung up on Donald Trump, and I'm going to go to the town hall, and we're serious, and we should vote, and all of this.
00:37:13.000 And so, on the one hand, you've become political activists.
00:37:17.000 You've become partisan people, and you're out there pushing partisan agendas and partisan legislation and all the rest.
00:37:25.000 And so, you've injected yourself into the game.
00:37:26.000 You see what happens.
00:37:28.000 You're fair game now.
00:37:29.000 But then, when people attack them, they want to say, oh, no, no, no, I'm just a baby.
00:37:35.000 I'm.
00:37:35.000 I'm just a little baby.
00:37:37.000 No one can attack me.
00:37:38.000 I'm just a little kid.
00:37:39.000 You would attack a little high schooler like me?
00:37:42.000 And so they want to have it always.
00:37:43.000 And I guess this is the sheer brilliance of the Democrats.
00:37:46.000 This is maybe where they're a little bit intelligent, these are the perfect political activists because they've made themselves untouchable.
00:37:53.000 Who's going to attack the 17 year old?
00:37:56.000 They can go out there and say whatever kind of stuff they want.
00:37:56.000 They're invincible.
00:38:00.000 And it's questionable whether this is a great strategy in terms of they've made themselves very unlikable because they're very obnoxious.
00:38:06.000 They're very.
00:38:07.000 They're typical teenagers talking about politics.
00:38:09.000 They get out there like they think they know everything.
00:38:11.000 They're very disrespectful.
00:38:13.000 You know, sound familiar, right?
00:38:14.000 But they get out there, they're very disrespectful, they're very rude, they're crass, they disrespect the Constitution and all of that.
00:38:22.000 And I think they're making themselves unlikable.
00:38:24.000 They've ruined any goodwill that they had.
00:38:26.000 However, when you're looking at the corporate image, when you're looking at the sponsors and that kind of thing, they do have to take into consideration the big lobbies, they have to take into consideration social media.
00:38:37.000 You know, Hulu is much more apt to bow to pressure from David Hogg.
00:38:41.000 And all the Democratic people behind him than voters in Pennsylvania or Ohio.
00:38:45.000 And that's just the reality of it.
00:38:47.000 But that's what makes them sort of the perfect political operative he can go out there, Hogg can go out there and be this radical left wing guy, radical gun control advocate.
00:38:56.000 And then the minute anybody's going to try to attack his credibility or go after his policy positions, he gets to cry foul and say, you know, no, no, I'm just a young guy.
00:39:05.000 You can't attack me.
00:39:06.000 I'm skinny.
00:39:07.000 And the other double standard I noticed is nobody was defending me.
00:39:11.000 When I was getting attacked by the mainstream media, nobody has ever come to my defense when adults attack me.
00:39:17.000 And not like I don't want them to come to my defense.
00:39:20.000 I don't say that like, you know, oh, somebody should have protected me.
00:39:23.000 I'm so weak.
00:39:23.000 I'm such a victim.
00:39:24.000 I say that in the sense that that's just, that's the rules.
00:39:27.000 This is just the game.
00:39:29.000 You get into politics and this is the game.
00:39:31.000 I got attacked by major outlets, literal pedophiles, alleged pedophiles in Reagan Battalion who wanted to ruin my career, who watched my show every night to clip videos so that they could put it up online and say, fire this kid, get him off of your network.
00:39:47.000 Cassidy Dillon, who, like, Tries to bully me all the time on Twitter and then he just gets absolutely embarrasses himself.
00:39:56.000 It's quite pathetic.
00:39:58.000 But I mean, all kinds of people adults, media people, left wing people, right wing people.
00:40:03.000 Ben Shapiro, who's got a million followers, who tweets out to his million followers this concern troll about me the time that I said race mixing is no good and Jewish people, they're okay.
00:40:15.000 We love them.
00:40:16.000 And so he retweets that to a million followers.
00:40:18.000 And hey, no sponsors were like Ben Shapiro's attacking a high schooler.
00:40:23.000 Pull his ads.
00:40:24.000 You know, Mike Cernovich said that this kid has low T. Pull his ads.
00:40:28.000 You know, that never happened.
00:40:29.000 So, David Hogg, from one woke teenager to another, you got to toughen up, big guy.
00:40:35.000 You got to get stronger.
00:40:36.000 You got to hit the gym.
00:40:37.000 I don't know.
00:40:38.000 I think my arms are a little bit bigger than his, but you got to get tough.
00:40:41.000 You know, at the very least, I may not be jacked, okay?
00:40:44.000 I may not have the physique yet.
00:40:47.000 I'm a young guy, got a high metabolism.
00:40:49.000 I'm young, I'm skinny.
00:40:50.000 Look, it's just what it is.
00:40:50.000 It's sexy.
00:40:51.000 It just is what it is.
00:40:54.000 But.
00:40:54.000 I'm tough because I can take the heat.
00:40:57.000 When people are doxing me, when people are going after my family, when people are going after me, and I get canned and I get fired and all this stuff happens, I'm cool, I'm calm, I'm collected, I'm tough, I can take it.
00:41:10.000 That's toughness.
00:41:10.000 David Hogg, not tough.
00:41:13.000 Not tough, weak, and he's got to go.
00:41:16.000 I don't mean that in any other way than he's got to be ignored in the public space.
00:41:23.000 But good old David Hogg, causing trouble.
00:41:25.000 Hogg wild, hogg warrior.
00:41:27.000 Well, those are our stories for the day.
00:41:29.000 That's our news.
00:41:30.000 The David Hogg Inquisition is underway.
00:41:32.000 And so, pretty soon, we're just going to have to put up a poster of David Hogg.
00:41:36.000 And we'll have to do a little salute of allegiance to dear leader, you know, David Hogg.
00:41:41.000 Hail Hogg!
00:41:42.000 That's what we should do.
00:41:43.000 We should meme that into effect.
00:41:45.000 Hail Hogg.
00:41:47.000 We will never counter signal David Hogg.
00:41:49.000 David Hogg is our leader.
00:41:50.000 Hail Hogg.
00:41:52.000 Hail Hogg, right?
00:41:53.000 You know, so, in order to get ourselves, in order to keep ourselves on the airwaves, we've got to be nice to him.
00:41:59.000 Look, David Hogg, he's a fine gentleman, he's an intelligent guy.
00:42:02.000 We would never bully him.
00:42:04.000 We love Hogg.
00:42:04.000 Hail Hogg.
00:42:05.000 So, right on.
00:42:07.000 So, that's the news.
00:42:08.000 We're going to get into your questions here.
00:42:10.000 We'll jump into our Super Chat and then into our Stream Labs.
00:42:14.000 We got Justin with a dollary do.
00:42:16.000 Thank you, big guy.
00:42:17.000 Frederick White says, no unity, no victory.
00:42:20.000 This is not a game.
00:42:21.000 Yes.
00:42:22.000 And the way forward is joyless, over the top, you know, overly dramatic rhetoric.
00:42:27.000 This is not a game.
00:42:28.000 It is kind of a game.
00:42:30.000 I know what you're saying.
00:42:31.000 The stakes are high, there's a lot going on.
00:42:34.000 But it's my observation, it's my opinion that the only way we're going to win is if we do it because we love it.
00:42:41.000 And there has to be some joy in it.
00:42:43.000 It's a very young movement, it's a very youthful movement.
00:42:45.000 You know, just about everybody in the alt right is under the age of 25 or in the broader dissident right.
00:42:51.000 These are college kids, high schoolers.
00:42:53.000 You know, there are many people on my Discord server who are in high school still.
00:42:56.000 And I'm going to get feds in there saying, you know, why do you have high schoolers in your Discord?
00:43:01.000 But the point being is it's a young movement.
00:43:03.000 It's a young man's movement because it's an internet movement and kids understand the internet.
00:43:07.000 And to keep them interested, to keep them invested, to keep them going, there has to be an element of fun.
00:43:14.000 I mean, that's what got us where we are meme culture, trolling.
00:43:18.000 It was fun.
00:43:19.000 You know, I didn't get into these very right wing literature and thinkers and all the rest because I was like, you know, we have to save Imperium Europa.
00:43:29.000 I got into it because it was funny.
00:43:31.000 Even Donald Trump, I didn't go over to Donald Trump because I was like, you know what?
00:43:34.000 Japan is ripping us off on trade.
00:43:36.000 Damn it.
00:43:36.000 I'm 17, but I'm sick and tired of Japan taking our jobs.
00:43:41.000 I was like, this is hilarious.
00:43:42.000 People are posting can't stump the Trump videos.
00:43:45.000 I'm watching these WebMs.
00:43:47.000 On 4chan, I'm looking at these different pictures, and it's just hilarious.
00:43:50.000 It's just funny.
00:43:51.000 It's funny when the media gets mad that he's winning.
00:43:54.000 And that's how I think we got a lot of people over.
00:43:57.000 So I agree with the sentiment, but we got to keep it a little bit lighthearted.
00:44:01.000 Alvaro Quintana says race science was discarded after 1945.
00:44:07.000 Coincidence?
00:44:08.000 I don't think so.
00:44:10.000 I don't think so.
00:44:10.000 Hey, look, I'm just going to say something.
00:44:12.000 I'm just going to come right out and say it about race in America or in the world, really.
00:44:17.000 We had it wrong for 10,000 years.
00:44:20.000 When human beings believed in race for 10,000 years, they were just simply wrong.
00:44:25.000 They were just simply ignorant.
00:44:27.000 We figured it out in the last 18 years.
00:44:30.000 The woke teenagers who voted for Barack Obama discovered that actually all races are equal.
00:44:36.000 It was this jarring discovery that has shaken the world.
00:44:39.000 For 10,000 years, the most intelligent people that have ever lived understood or thought, rather, wrongly, that races had differences, that there were different peoples in the world.
00:44:53.000 But they were all wrong.
00:44:54.000 They were all just naive or dumb or blinded by prejudice, just baseless prejudice.
00:45:01.000 And they were wrong.
00:45:03.000 And now we figured it out.
00:45:04.000 We're smarter than they were.
00:45:06.000 It was in front of their faces the whole time that really we just had to get over ourselves and we were all really equal.
00:45:12.000 They just didn't realize it.
00:45:14.000 There was equality all along, but they just didn't realize it.
00:45:17.000 They weren't smart enough.
00:45:18.000 They weren't virtuous enough.
00:45:19.000 But we are.
00:45:20.000 In the last 18 years, we figured it out.
00:45:23.000 They were all wrong.
00:45:25.000 All the geniuses, all the philosophers, the musicians, the mathematicians, the poets, the political leaders, just about everybody in world history, they were wrong to think that races were different.
00:45:37.000 They were wrong to think that, you know, Europeans and Africans and Asians are all their own people.
00:45:42.000 They were wrong.
00:45:43.000 They were just dumb.
00:45:44.000 We're so smart and we're such good people that we realized something that should have been self evident.
00:45:51.000 So I'm a big believer in egalitarianism.
00:45:53.000 I'm a big liberal.
00:45:54.000 I'm a big believer in that.
00:45:56.000 We're the smartest, right?
00:45:57.000 We know better.
00:45:59.000 My eight year old knows better.
00:46:01.000 My eight year old came up to me the other day and they said, you know what?
00:46:04.000 My eight year old came up and they said, actually, three years old came up and they said, Dad, you know, I think racial egalitarianism is probably the most important step we've taken since the end of the Cold War.
00:46:14.000 And I was like, you know, son, you're so right about that.
00:46:17.000 And you're so smart.
00:46:19.000 And actually, it was my gender non conforming daughter, who's going to be an astronaut, who said that.
00:46:24.000 So we're really conservative as a new counterculture on this program.
00:46:29.000 Leov Mishkin says, How about a Catholic economics deep dive one time?
00:46:33.000 I'm not really a specialist in Catholic economics, but we could do that.
00:46:36.000 I would have to sufficiently prepare.
00:46:38.000 I'd have to read the distributist literature.
00:46:41.000 Maybe I'll do a video about that one time, but we could look into that when we get into more economic subjects, sure.
00:46:46.000 I mean, the general premise of Catholic economics is that the country does better, a society does better when the wealth is distributed.
00:46:55.000 And not like it's seized and then redistributed, but that a country does better.
00:47:01.000 When the ordinary lot of people have wealth.
00:47:05.000 And so I think you could achieve that with a number of different economic systems.
00:47:09.000 But the goal of the Catholic Church, what they see as ideal is that ordinary people have money and so they have some degree of sovereignty.
00:47:17.000 They have some degree of autonomy.
00:47:19.000 April Haimu says, I want to have your babies.
00:47:22.000 Geez, Louise, try and keep it PG.
00:47:25.000 This is a family program.
00:47:27.000 She says, Please be my baby daddy.
00:47:29.000 You're coming out a little strong for me.
00:47:31.000 Buy me a drink first.
00:47:32.000 Am I right?
00:47:33.000 Buy me a ginger ale.
00:47:34.000 Buy me a kitty cocktail first before you.
00:47:37.000 Start talking about baby daddy and this and that.
00:47:39.000 Look, I know I'm a teen heartthrob, all right?
00:47:43.000 I know I'm like, they call me the Justin Bieber of right wing content creation.
00:47:47.000 I think I'm bigger than Justin Bieber in some ways.
00:47:50.000 I know, I know I'm hard to resist, but it's a politics show.
00:47:54.000 It's called America First.
00:47:55.000 We've got to keep it PG for our family audience.
00:47:59.000 And we'll check out our Streamlabs now.
00:48:03.000 And let's see, we've got some bits.
00:48:08.000 Cactus Blah has given me five bits.
00:48:10.000 I don't know what that is.
00:48:11.000 What's the conversion rate on bits to US dollars?
00:48:14.000 But he says, Cheers.
00:48:15.000 Well, thank you, Cactus Blah, for the bits.
00:48:18.000 And it looks like our top cheer goes to.
00:48:21.000 I don't even know what this stuff means.
00:48:23.000 Top cheer by Cactus Blah.
00:48:25.000 Five bits.
00:48:26.000 And there's some kind of a triangle.
00:48:28.000 So this is all very foreign.
00:48:30.000 It's like Star Wars when they do their own language on the keyboards and all that.
00:48:30.000 You might as well.
00:48:36.000 Cliff Civic says, This goes towards a decent streaming microphone.
00:48:39.000 Oof.
00:48:40.000 Well, thank you, my guy.
00:48:41.000 I think this is decent enough.
00:48:42.000 This is a good budget piece.
00:48:44.000 The problem is, you get very much better than a Yeti.
00:48:48.000 You try and upgrade beyond the Yeti, and there's only marginal upgrades from here for a USB mic.
00:48:53.000 The problem is, if you keep upgrading, you have to get a soundboard or a mixer.
00:48:58.000 I'm not an audio technician, but you have to get a mixer or some kind of a mixer.
00:48:58.000 Look, I don't know.
00:49:03.000 You have to get that board with the knobs on it.
00:49:05.000 I don't know how to do that.
00:49:07.000 You've got to get a whole contraption, you've got to get the thing.
00:49:11.000 You know, the boom stand, you've got to get the thing that goes around it.
00:49:15.000 You've got to get the thing.
00:49:16.000 It's got to hang over here.
00:49:18.000 You've got to connect it to a mixing board.
00:49:19.000 You've got to mix it up.
00:49:21.000 And then you've got to plug it into the computer.
00:49:23.000 That's a little beyond.
00:49:24.000 And that's the trouble with the show to take it to the next level.
00:49:28.000 We've basically hit our peak in terms of like amateur production quality.
00:49:33.000 To improve beyond that, we would have to break into professional equipment, which is like $1,000 cameras and mix boards and microphones.
00:49:41.000 And it's that's that's later.
00:49:44.000 But we appreciate it anyway.
00:49:45.000 Begbie with a couple of dollary dues.
00:49:47.000 Thank you.
00:49:48.000 J22 report says NJF is a 6'9, 275 pound Chad.
00:49:53.000 True.
00:49:54.000 And David Hogg is a little boy virgin that needs the MSM protection racket.
00:49:58.000 Hey, don't countersignal virginity.
00:50:00.000 All right.
00:50:01.000 We're all virgins.
00:50:02.000 Everybody who watches this show is a virgin.
00:50:03.000 We're proud of it.
00:50:04.000 We want to be virgins.
00:50:06.000 Unless you're married, I don't want to hear that you're not a virgin.
00:50:08.000 In fact, we will shame you if you're not on the show, and especially if you're a woman.
00:50:13.000 So, no, we're good Catholic boys on the show.
00:50:17.000 We're good cat boys on the show, good Catholic boys.
00:50:20.000 We're not about...
00:50:21.000 We're not about that degenerate, hedonistic lifestyle.
00:50:24.000 I remember my former business partner, one of the first nags he launched against me in my own Discord was Nick has never slept with a woman.
00:50:32.000 Nick is a virgin.
00:50:33.000 And it was the proudest moment, I think, in my career when everybody in the Discord was like, hey, what's your problem, man?
00:50:41.000 That's kind of our whole thing.
00:50:42.000 What do you think being a virgin is a bad thing?
00:50:44.000 And they shamed him.
00:50:46.000 And I was like, damn, we made a good coalition here of good Catholic boys.
00:50:51.000 But I'm with you, David Hogg.
00:50:53.000 Is a little fella.
00:50:54.000 J22, I forgot to mention that David Hogg is low IQ, doesn't have the required 250 plus IQ to watch America First.
00:51:01.000 That happens to be true.
00:51:02.000 Very low IQ individual.
00:51:04.000 But of course, hail Hog.
00:51:06.000 We love Hog.
00:51:08.000 Beeman says, the Hog sends his regards.
00:51:10.000 Also, how does one become a cat boy?
00:51:13.000 Well, we're going to have to invest all of the government money.
00:51:16.000 If I ever become the new Caesar, if there's ever a new Caesarism in the country, we're going to have to divert a significant amount of the money into genetically engineering cat boys into existence.
00:51:26.000 It's going to have, look, look, it's not my choice.
00:51:28.000 It's just like ethnic nationalism, it's not my choice.
00:51:31.000 It's something that has to happen.
00:51:33.000 And so you can take it out of welfare.
00:51:34.000 You can take it out of, you know, I don't know, RD, whatever you want, but we're going to have to put it towards that project.
00:51:40.000 So nobody knows yet, but we'll figure it out.
00:51:43.000 And by cat boy, we mean Catholic boy.
00:51:45.000 We mean good fellas.
00:51:47.000 And Ojin says with 10 bits, Kappa 10.
00:51:51.000 Nick, quick rundown on Twitch.
00:51:53.000 Each bit is worth a penny.
00:51:55.000 You need to shill Twitch Prime.
00:51:56.000 People can subscribe to your channel free if they have an Amazon Prime sub, usually five bucks a month.
00:52:02.000 So Twitch Prime, people subscribe to your channel for free.
00:52:06.000 If they have an Amazon, can't they already subscribe for free now, or do they have to pay?
00:52:10.000 I don't know.
00:52:11.000 So each bit is worth a penny.
00:52:12.000 So what, I have 15 pennies?
00:52:14.000 All right.
00:52:16.000 But, okay, I guess I'll have to look into the Twitch situation.
00:52:19.000 I'll have to learn about the medium.
00:52:21.000 And let's check.
00:52:23.000 And all right, it looks like those are all our Super Chats, all of our Stream Labs.
00:52:26.000 Pretty clean.
00:52:27.000 Pretty clean hour.
00:52:28.000 We're coming right up on 7 o'clock.
00:52:30.000 Maybe we'll peep in the Twitch chat.
00:52:32.000 Let's take a look, actually.
00:52:33.000 You know, let's do another five minutes because I was a little late.
00:52:36.000 I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit late.
00:52:38.000 Let's jump in our Twitch chat and see what our Twitch people are saying.
00:52:41.000 So jump on twitch.tv slash nickjfuentes to comment in the Twitch chat and we'll see what the people are saying.
00:52:48.000 We got another Streamlabs who says from J22.
00:52:52.000 I didn't mean virgin in that way.
00:52:53.000 I meant like, ah, Chad man, virgin meme.
00:52:55.000 That's what I meant.
00:52:56.000 Okay.
00:52:58.000 Then you're right.
00:52:58.000 Then it's true.
00:53:00.000 15 penny wealthy Nick says cactus plots.
00:53:02.000 True.
00:53:03.000 It's true.
00:53:04.000 We are something rich.
00:53:06.000 We are really something rich right now.
00:53:09.000 Riding high.
00:53:10.000 With the 15 pennies.
00:53:12.000 TACAD says, Awe, true to Kaisar.
00:53:16.000 True, true.
00:53:18.000 For our Fallout fans.
00:53:19.000 You know I had to shill it to him, says Ojin.
00:53:22.000 Very true.
00:53:23.000 Followers are free.
00:53:24.000 Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:53:26.000 So we're seeing the Twitch users.
00:53:28.000 They're pouring into the Twitch chat.
00:53:29.000 We're having a great time in the Twitch chat.
00:53:31.000 Remember, over the weekend, I'll be doing a Fortnite stream.
00:53:35.000 I don't know if I'll do it on Saturday or on Sunday, but I'll try to get it done at some point over the weekend.
00:53:40.000 I'll be streaming myself playing Fortnite.
00:53:42.000 On Twitch.
00:53:42.000 So if you want to see that, if you want to see Nick in a very casual, laid back environment, hanging out with the friends, you got to subscribe on twitch.tv slash Nick J. Fuentes.
00:53:51.000 I believe the link is in the description.
00:53:54.000 Nick, thoughts on Nicholas Cruz getting love letters right now?
00:53:57.000 It's more disappointment from the female future, right?
00:54:02.000 Another shining, another ray of sunshine from our female future that all these ladies are sending love letters to the killer in the Parkland shooting, sending lewd, Photos.
00:54:15.000 One girl sent a picture of herself eating a popsicle.
00:54:17.000 One girl sent a picture of herself in a bikini to Nicholas Cruz.
00:54:21.000 And they say, Oh, you're so handsome with your freckles and all this.
00:54:25.000 And you kind of see this a lot.
00:54:27.000 You see people post around these kinds of memes on Twitter where people set up Tinder accounts and they say, I'm a criminal.
00:54:33.000 I raped people.
00:54:34.000 But they post a really handsome guy on Tinder.
00:54:37.000 And despite that, you'll have all kinds of girls in the mention saying, Oh, I stole something from a store once too.
00:54:45.000 You're a bad boy.
00:54:46.000 And so I basically lost all hope in thoughts.
00:54:49.000 You know, abandon all hope, ye who enter, thoughtery, whomst be thoughten.
00:54:54.000 There is just simply no floor in terms of how low the thoughts can go.
00:54:58.000 So very depressing.
00:55:01.000 Send Nick prayers for a fortnight win.
00:55:03.000 I already got two.
00:55:04.000 I got two last week.
00:55:06.000 Nick, any comments on the Pope saying there is no hell?
00:55:08.000 When will you march on Rome and depose this heathen?
00:55:11.000 Careful, heretic!
00:55:12.000 Don't talk about the Pope that way.
00:55:15.000 He was misquoted.
00:55:16.000 Actually, there was a great article in American Conservative about this this afternoon that said that the Pope was basically misquoted.
00:55:22.000 And essentially, he said that he didn't say that hell doesn't exist.
00:55:25.000 He said that when a sinner who is unrepentant dies, their soul simply ceases to exist, which is technically true.
00:55:32.000 I mean, that's technically.
00:55:33.000 I believe, and this is what Catholic apologists say hell is described.
00:55:38.000 They use the furnace and the wailing and the gnashing of teeth as a way to convey to people the suffering that will happen absent God.
00:55:46.000 So it never says, like, you know, people are going to go in this place where there's fire and there's, you know, demons.
00:55:53.000 But they say that this is what happens to sinners who don't get to meet God, they're away from God.
00:55:58.000 And so I think that's what Pope Francis was getting at.
00:56:00.000 Not so much that hell doesn't exist, there's not that there's no judgment.
00:56:05.000 But that souls who are unrepentant simply cease to exist.
00:56:08.000 They will never know God.
00:56:09.000 They won't know eternal life, which I think is basically said in the Bible.
00:56:13.000 Nick, don't you like me?
00:56:14.000 Says Capiz Farrell.
00:56:16.000 I don't know you.
00:56:17.000 If you're watching the show, I like you.
00:56:17.000 I guess I like you.
00:56:20.000 Nick J. Fuentes for president.
00:56:22.000 Not yet.
00:56:22.000 Not yet.
00:56:23.000 Soon.
00:56:24.000 Nick needs subs so we can get epic emotes.
00:56:26.000 True.
00:56:28.000 PUBG is greater than Fortnite.
00:56:30.000 That's incorrect.
00:56:31.000 That's wrong.
00:56:31.000 PUBG is for Catboys.
00:56:34.000 LMAO, my fave is that Chad belittling Tinder thoughts on his Tinder vial still gets thirsty thoughts.
00:56:39.000 Yeah, isn't that so typical?
00:56:41.000 So, if enough people believe in atheism, atheism will become true.
00:56:45.000 I don't think that's what anybody said, right?
00:56:48.000 I don't think that's really coherent there.
00:56:51.000 Congrats on the win.
00:56:52.000 I got my first solo win this week.
00:56:53.000 Well, congratulations.
00:56:56.000 The Secrets of Fatima affirmed that hell is a lake of fire.
00:57:00.000 Well, there you go.
00:57:01.000 Very hot.
00:57:02.000 Not fun, probably.
00:57:03.000 Actually, Dante described it as very cold, right?
00:57:07.000 In the inferno, ironically.
00:57:09.000 They actually say that in the lowest level of hell, it was the coldest.
00:57:12.000 It was the darkest because it was the further from God's light.
00:57:15.000 And so Satan was actually frozen in ice in the bottom layer of hell.
00:57:19.000 And in his three jaws was Cassius, or Cassius Brutus, and Judas, the two assassins of Caesar and, of course, the guy who betrayed Christ.
00:57:31.000 But it looks like those are all our stream lads and our super chats.
00:57:35.000 We got one more from Salim Fortes who says Nick, have you ever had a Slavoj Žižek?
00:57:40.000 If so, do you prefer him or Jordan Peterson?
00:57:43.000 I think I prefer Peterson.
00:57:44.000 I like Zizek.
00:57:45.000 I mean, he's an interesting guy.
00:57:46.000 He's funny, obviously.
00:57:48.000 But I think I agree.
00:57:49.000 I align more with Peterson.
00:57:51.000 So I haven't read any of his books or anything in terms of Zizek or his essays, but definitely an interesting guy.
00:57:57.000 I've seen some of his stuff about ideology and all that.
00:58:00.000 But an interesting thinker.
00:58:02.000 It looks like those are all of our Streamlabs, all of our Super Chats.
00:58:05.000 We're going to call it a night on the show.
00:58:07.000 We're going to call it at 8 04.
00:58:10.000 Remember to check us out on Maker Support to get America First Premium.
