00:00:01.000 Good evening, everybody.
00:00:03.000 You are watching America First.
00:00:05.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:00:06.000 We have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:08.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday.
00:00:13.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into.
00:00:17.000 Our featured story is once again about the war in Ukraine.
00:00:22.000 And specifically tonight, I want to talk about some of these claims which are being made lately that Ukraine is going to win.
00:00:31.000 I don't know about you, but that.
00:00:32.000 Is the headline which is dominating the news coverage of the conflict all week?
00:00:38.000 And they're saying that the Russians are getting stalled and they're not making any significant advances.
00:00:46.000 They're saying that there are 40,000 Russian casualties.
00:00:51.000 40,000.
00:00:54.000 And they're saying that Ukraine may actually win the war.
00:00:57.000 So tonight we'll talk a little bit about that.
00:01:00.000 We're going to go over an article from the Wall Street Journal, which Talks about the casualties and some of the supposed problems the Russians are having.
00:01:10.000 And I want to say a couple of things on this.
00:01:12.000 The first thing I want to say is would Zelensky be begging for a no fly zone from every country on earth if they killed 40,000 Russians?
00:01:24.000 You know, would they be pleading?
00:01:26.000 Would the world be the way that it is now?
00:01:29.000 And would public opinion be what it is now if anybody actually believed this?
00:01:35.000 I don't think so.
00:01:36.000 So there's a lot of problems with this narrative.
00:01:39.000 They're certainly not behaving as though victory is at hand.
00:01:42.000 That's one.
00:01:43.000 The other thing, and this is a little bit more frightening, is they are pushing this narrative for a very deliberate reason.
00:01:50.000 And just a theory, just speculation from me.
00:01:54.000 But what I'm reading in a lot of the forums and what I've been seeing in the headlines is this discussion about Putin resorting to weapons of mass destruction to win the conflict.
00:02:09.000 And I think that there's almost no scenario where that would happen, where Putin would use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine or chemical weapons in Ukraine.
00:02:18.000 But you're hearing this.
00:02:19.000 I'm hearing this a lot in the national news media.
00:02:21.000 They're saying that out of desperation, Putin is going to use these WMDs as a last resort because he's just losing the war so badly.
00:02:34.000 And like I said, I don't think that makes any sense, but that's something that's plausible enough where.
00:02:41.000 It seems like we're building up to a pretext for a NATO intervention.
00:02:46.000 That's what it sounds like to me.
00:02:49.000 Now, again, a little bit of speculation.
00:02:52.000 It is a theory, but it seems like it's very easy to go from Putin is a war criminal.
00:02:59.000 Putin is losing the war.
00:03:01.000 He's losing the war, so he resorted to chemical weapons.
00:03:04.000 He used chemical weapons, and now we're going to intervene.
00:03:09.000 That's what it sounds like to me.
00:03:10.000 It sounds like they're building the argument.
00:03:13.000 And you always got to watch out for this stuff.
00:03:14.000 I said this a lot.
00:03:16.000 Last year, when we withdrew from Afghanistan, because you heard for weeks about the Taliban and you heard about how they were taking away women's rights and all this, and then all of a sudden, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.
00:03:30.000 And then the same thing happened.
00:03:31.000 You heard for weeks and weeks this steady drumbeat about Al Qaeda or ISIS K, the Khorasan group from ISIS, which was going to fill the vacuum left by the Americans.
00:03:45.000 And any day now, there was going to be a terrorist attack.
00:03:48.000 And then, boom, there was at the Kabul airport.
00:03:51.000 But they had seeded the idea for weeks.
00:03:53.000 And so you got to pay attention to these narratives because these narratives, somebody is designing them.
00:04:00.000 You know, all the media is not just spontaneously coming up with the same thing.
00:04:05.000 No, this is information that's heavily regulated and controlled.
00:04:09.000 And when they say things like Putin is losing the war and then they talk about chemical weapons, I don't think it's a stretch to say they're building towards a case for NATO to intervene.
00:04:19.000 And the pretext is this he's committing war crimes, he's using banned chemical weapons.
00:04:25.000 It's.
00:04:26.000 A violation of Ukraine's sovereignty to begin with, so then now the United States is going to intervene.
00:04:32.000 It's what it sounds like.
00:04:33.000 Could be wrong, but that's what it sounds like.
00:04:35.000 So we'll talk about that, and I'll go into detail about how exactly I've arrived there.
00:04:42.000 We'll also be talking about Austria, where they are reimposing actually the mask and vaccine mandate.
00:04:52.000 Again, we'll see if this is a sign of things to come, but two weeks ago, Austria, the country in Europe, They canceled their vaccine mandate.
00:05:03.000 They have a vaccine mandate, not just a passport, but a mandate.
00:05:07.000 Two weeks ago, they suspended the vaccine and the mask mandate.
00:05:11.000 And now, because of surging coronavirus cases, they're re implementing both of those measures, both the mask and the vax mandate.
00:05:20.000 And I told you, and I still believe this, I don't think we're totally finished with COVID yet.
00:05:27.000 I hope we are.
00:05:28.000 I mean, I would really, if we never heard about COVID again, I would be relieved, and I am happy to be wrong.
00:05:34.000 I would be very happy and very relieved if I was wrong.
00:05:38.000 I would not feel bad about it at all.
00:05:40.000 But I have a sneaking suspicion that just like last year at this time and just like last fall, I feel like you only get a lull.
00:05:50.000 I feel like you get a temporary reprieve just when people are starting to get fed up.
00:05:56.000 And then for whatever reason, if it's an election, if it's something else, then I think it comes back in full force once people are, you know, they're sort of ready again for another round.
00:06:07.000 So.
00:06:08.000 Again, I don't know if that's going to happen.
00:06:10.000 I hope it doesn't, but it already happened in Austria.
00:06:13.000 So who knows if it'll spread, if the same thing will happen here.
00:06:17.000 But we'll talk about that.
00:06:20.000 And it should be a pretty good show.
00:06:23.000 Kind of a slow news day.
00:06:25.000 The war in Ukraine is slowing down, so there's not a whole lot happening there.
00:06:29.000 And there's not a whole lot happening anywhere else.
00:06:32.000 Madeleine Albright died today.
00:06:33.000 That was kind of funny.
00:06:35.000 But besides that, not a whole lot else to report.
00:06:39.000 Pretty slow day, pretty boring day, but we'll cover the news.
00:06:44.000 Before we get into it, I want to remind you to follow me on Gab and Telegram.

00:07:19.000 Maybe next week I'm going to try and stabilize the start time for the show.
00:07:23.000 I've just been busy.
00:07:25.000 I've just had a lot going on lately.
00:07:28.000 You know, we had AFPAC 3, and then I came back, and now we're right into the midterms and everything else.
00:07:34.000 You know, it's right back to the grind.
00:07:36.000 So, I'm going to try and stabilize the show next week.
00:07:39.000 I'm back on a consistent sleep schedule, so that feels good.
00:07:44.000 So, you know, maybe Monday we're going to start to get a little closer to 9 o'clock start time.
00:07:51.000 That's what I'd like to do.
00:07:54.000 But we'll see.
00:07:55.000 No promises.
00:07:56.000 But that's all I got.
00:07:58.000 Those are all my announcements for you tonight.
00:08:01.000 Yeah, pretty boring day.
00:08:04.000 Not a whole lot going on.
00:08:06.000 Kind of mundane, you know?
00:08:07.000 And like I said, nothing happening in the news.
00:08:09.000 I, you know, I mean, I don't know.
00:08:12.000 I guess we got a whole month of news out of the war in Ukraine, but it just seems like for the past few days, there's been no major new developments.
00:08:19.000 But there has been this consistent story about.
00:08:22.000 Russia is being stalled by the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian people.
00:08:27.000 And, you know, we'll talk about it later tonight, but I just don't believe anything from the media.
00:08:34.000 And what you have to consider about the media, because that's the, you know, that's the new thing that they're going with.
00:08:40.000 That's the story they're going with the Russians are not making any progress.
00:08:45.000 And, you know, that's a claim in itself, you know, that they're pushing, but they're not advancing.
00:08:52.000 And then they're also saying that the reason they're not advancing is because, well, they are just so surprised.
00:08:57.000 At the steadfastness and the fortitude of the Ukrainians.
00:09:01.000 You know, Putin, he thought he had it all.
00:09:05.000 He thought it was going to be an easy job, but he didn't count on one thing, and that was the bravery and the courage of the Ukrainians.
00:09:13.000 And I just don't believe any of it.
00:09:15.000 And the reason why is I mean, obviously, because it's being reported by Western media, and Western media always lies.
00:09:24.000 We're in a war, and that's war propaganda.
00:09:27.000 You know, anytime you're engaged in a conflict, You're not going to get the real story on either side because, you know, there's an incentive for both sides to lie.
00:09:39.000 Because how people perceive the state of the war, that obviously affects the outcome of the war sometimes.
00:09:46.000 That affects the morale and can affect the relations between the states engaged in the war.
00:09:53.000 So you can't really trust any of it.
00:09:55.000 But I particularly don't trust the Western media.
00:09:58.000 Consider the fact that all of the opposing side is banned.
00:10:02.000 You're not hearing anything from Russia.
00:10:04.000 We're not hearing anything from Russian media.
00:10:07.000 So they censored everything.
00:10:10.000 Now they have a total monopoly on information.
00:10:13.000 And so all the news that we're getting about the conflict is literally coming from the State Department, the Pentagon, and NATO, which are hardly reliable sources in a war where the stakes are very high for all three of those institutions.
00:10:27.000 So, you know, we can't trust any of it.
00:10:29.000 But people just blindly accept this.
00:10:31.000 People just blindly.
00:10:33.000 Oh, yeah, you know, Russia is really getting ground down because the Ukrainians are just so tough.
00:10:38.000 Are they tough or is this just something that we're being told by NATO?
00:10:44.000 So, who really knows?
00:10:45.000 But, like I said, we'll get into that later.
00:10:47.000 I'm just so sick of hearing about it.
00:10:49.000 And honestly, I'm really disappointed in Revolver because I use Revolver every day.
00:10:55.000 I read Revolver every day to write my notes for my show.
00:11:01.000 I read all the stories on Revolver every day.
00:11:04.000 And their coverage of this war, especially lately, They're just plugging NATO propaganda.
00:11:12.000 And I don't know what the end game is there.
00:11:17.000 Are they trying to avoid scrutiny, maybe, from the security state?
00:11:21.000 Because, of course, I mean, I'm not doing myself any favors by waving the Russian flag every night.
00:11:25.000 I know that's inviting more scrutiny from the government.
00:11:29.000 And when you're in a war, there's always enhanced scrutiny on the domestic opposition.
00:11:36.000 And then when you go and support the other side, even more so.
00:11:40.000 So, is it something like that?
00:11:41.000 Are they trying to avoid getting bad attention from the IC and from the national security apparatus?
00:11:47.000 Maybe.
00:11:48.000 That would seem like a big compromise.
00:11:52.000 Or is there some other reason?
00:11:53.000 I'm not sure, but I checked Revolver today, and all the headlines about the Ukraine conflict are about how badly Russia is doing.
00:12:00.000 And it's been like that for the past week.
00:12:02.000 And again, do they just feel that way?
00:12:04.000 Do they concur with the Wall Street Journal and NATO?
00:12:08.000 Or again, is there some other play?
00:12:10.000 I don't know, but it's been a little.
00:12:12.000 I don't know.
00:12:13.000 I'm not a fan.
00:12:14.000 I'm not a fan of the coverage, honestly.
00:12:16.000 But.
00:12:17.000 I mean, don't get me wrong.
00:12:19.000 I still read Revolver.
00:12:20.000 I like Darren, but I just don't know what's the story with that.
00:12:26.000 I'm not sure what's going on there.
00:12:28.000 And that's not the coverage I want.
00:12:30.000 I don't need to hear what the Wall Street Journal says.
00:12:32.000 I know what the Wall Street Journal is going to say.
00:12:34.000 They're saying what everybody else is saying, and everybody else is repeating what NATO is saying.
00:12:38.000 And NATO lies.
00:12:40.000 So why do I need to read that?
00:12:41.000 I don't need to read that.
00:12:43.000 So, anyway, so that's just a little bit about the news itself, the reporting of it.
00:12:49.000 I guess we'll just dive in because, like I said, I don't really have anything else interesting to say.
00:12:54.000 I'm trying to think.
00:12:56.000 Anything else happened today?
00:12:58.000 Not really.
00:12:59.000 So I guess we'll dive into it.
00:13:00.000 We'll talk about Austria.
00:13:04.000 And this is a little troubling.
00:13:05.000 So this was an article in National Review, or I'm sorry, National File.
00:13:11.000 National File, I guess that's a Freudian slip.
00:13:15.000 But this is a piece in National File about how Austria in Europe is now reversing.
00:13:22.000 Their policy on masks and vaccines.
00:13:26.000 And so, if you've been following the coronavirus pandemic, it's totally evaporated from the news media, which is pretty amazing.
00:13:34.000 And I don't know how people don't understand what's going on just because of something like that.
00:13:40.000 In other words, don't you think it's a little bit weird that two months ago everybody was talking about coronavirus?
00:13:48.000 It was everywhere.
00:13:51.000 And now it's nowhere.
00:13:52.000 Now it almost feels like we're back to normal completely.
00:13:56.000 Except for if you're flying on an airplane, and unless you go to the post office, and unless you do, you know, there's a few activities where the mask mandate is still in effect.
00:14:07.000 But all major cities have pulled back their mask and their vaccine mandates.
00:14:11.000 Most businesses are not enforcing them.
00:14:14.000 Even the airlines, the airline CEOs are now demanding that the Biden administration rescind the federal mask mandate on airplanes.
00:14:25.000 And it feels like the men in black, like amnesia device.
00:14:30.000 It's like, Everybody just forgot that two or three months ago, they were pushing this total vaccine acceptance.
00:14:39.000 There was a vaccine mandate.
00:14:41.000 People were having to show vaccine cards.
00:14:43.000 Everyone was getting a booster shot.
00:14:45.000 The booster shot was becoming part of the mandate.
00:14:49.000 And now it's all gone.
00:14:50.000 And it was here today and then gone tomorrow.
00:14:56.000 And so if you don't even realize that that happened, if you don't even have the short term memory and the Awareness and the wherewithal to even understand that that happened, to even be cognizant of the fact that that happened, like you're lost.
00:15:11.000 And then, if you are aware of that, do you not understand the significance that they flip a switch?
00:15:18.000 It's literally they flip a switch.
00:15:21.000 And what you're supposed to care about today, they decide in their morning meeting.
00:15:26.000 And what you're supposed to care about the next week, they flip a switch and then they decide.
00:15:31.000 And all the coverage says the next thing.
00:15:33.000 And so one day it's the masks, and the next day it's the vaccines, and the day after that it's standing with Ukraine.
00:15:40.000 Pretty freaky.
00:15:41.000 But anyway, you've noticed it's all gone.
00:15:44.000 Suddenly, coronavirus isn't here.
00:15:47.000 And nobody's talking about it.
00:15:48.000 And certainly nobody's talking about masks and vaccines.
00:15:52.000 And all the mandates have been pulled back in Europe and in the United States and elsewhere.
00:15:57.000 But what's been happening, curiously, is that in the countries with the highest rates of vaccination, they're getting another wave of infections.
00:16:05.000 And if you look at case numbers and if you look at infections, there is, like, I don't know what wave we're on, I think a fifth wave that is going on right now.
00:16:15.000 Not the Omicron wave from several months ago, but there's now a new wave happening right now.
00:16:20.000 And it's in Austria, and it's in Israel, and it's happening in China, and it's happening in a few other countries, and nobody's reporting on it.
00:16:29.000 But there's a strong correlation between countries that are highly vaccinated and now countries which are seeing high rates of infection.
00:16:36.000 And so, in response to this, Austria's re-upplying the mandates.
00:16:41.000 And this is, like I said, from National File.
00:16:44.000 It says, quote, less than two weeks after lifting mask mandates on March 5th, the Austrian government announced they will be reinstituting mask and vaccine requirements, as well as additional COVID restrictions starting on March 23rd.
00:16:59.000 The government cited rising case rates in making the decision.
00:17:04.000 On March 5th, Austria had an average of around 29,000 new reported COVID cases per day over the previous seven days.
00:17:12.000 By March 18th, that number ballooned to over 45,000, according to Forbes.
00:17:19.000 45,000 cases per day in Austria, which is a small country.
00:17:23.000 Pointing to the case rates, Austrian Health Minister Johannes Rauch announced that the Alpine Nation would be reinstituting its indoor mask mandate.
00:17:33.000 Austrians will be required to wear masks in order to gain entry to enter hotels, sporting events, and dozens of other venues.
00:17:40.000 Affected venues will have the choice between instituting a mask mandate or the reintroduction of a vaccine passport system.
00:17:48.000 Restaurants and bars will be subjected to more stringent guidelines and will only have the option to check for proof of vaccination.
00:17:55.000 The mask mandate will apply to indoor gatherings of 25 people or more.
00:18:00.000 As for schools, the government plans to provide an update on their plans after consulting with the education ministry.
00:18:07.000 Earlier this month, Austria scrapped legislation that would have mandated COVID vaccination among its adult population.
00:18:13.000 Starting in mid March, Austrian police officers would have checked for vaccination during traffic stops and other interactions with citizens.
00:18:22.000 Austrians would have been required to show proof of vaccination or be subjected to hefty fines.
00:18:28.000 It is unclear whether Austria, which was one of the only nations to mandate vaccination, plans on reintroducing the policy.
00:18:35.000 The nation's decision to reintroduce its COVID restrictions is not unexpected.
00:18:39.000 The government warned of this possibility when the mandates were suspended two weeks ago.
00:18:45.000 And so, again, here we are.
00:18:48.000 This isn't happening here yet, but in Austria, they snapped it back on.
00:18:54.000 And, you know, A big part of the problem, I feel, is that a lot of people think that can't happen.
00:19:00.000 But what would stop them from doing this?
00:19:03.000 They've already done that many times.
00:19:05.000 You know, it's a very familiar pattern.
00:19:09.000 We all know how this played out.
00:19:10.000 In March 2020, they said five weeks.
00:19:15.000 And then it was another five.
00:19:16.000 And then they said Easter.
00:19:17.000 And then they said August.
00:19:19.000 And then they said, well, we just have to live with it.
00:19:22.000 And then in 2021, when they developed the vaccine, then things liberalized and everything opened up.
00:19:29.000 Remember?
00:19:30.000 And it was almost as if it was back to normal.
00:19:34.000 People need to think.
00:19:35.000 You know, a big part of the problem is so many people, I believe, are on their phones.
00:19:40.000 I actually think people's short term memory has been destroyed.
00:19:44.000 I don't know if that's a new thing.
00:19:45.000 Maybe it's always been that way.
00:19:47.000 But it feels like now more than ever, people just don't remember what happens one week ago or a month ago or a year ago.
00:19:55.000 But do you not remember that a year ago the same thing happened?
00:20:01.000 We were on lockdown from March until roughly December, January, March 2020 until roughly December 2020, January 2021.
00:20:10.000 And right around winter and springtime 2021, it felt as though everything had returned to normal.
00:20:17.000 And the mask mandates were loosened, and the vaccine was being administered across the country, and there was a temporary reprieve.
00:20:26.000 And everybody thought it was over.
00:20:30.000 Everybody assumed it was over, and they thought, we're not going back.
00:20:33.000 Even though all along they said, yeah, we're going to have to put the lockdown measures on and off as the case numbers vary.
00:20:42.000 And then, of course, the vaccine.
00:20:46.000 The vaccine adoption stalled around the summer, and the rate at which people were getting vaccinated began to slow down.
00:20:52.000 They said, Okay, this is a big problem.
00:20:55.000 Well, we're going to offer incentives.
00:20:56.000 We're going to offer people lottery and raffle prizes, and we're going to give people cash, and we're going to do all this.
00:21:04.000 We'll try to convince people to get the vaccine.
00:21:08.000 And then by September, Biden announced a mandate.
00:21:10.000 And then what happened?
00:21:12.000 Omicron wave after the Delta wave that summer, and lockdown came back partially.
00:21:18.000 Omicron comes and it's literally a new lockdown all over again, but this time with the vaccine passport.
00:21:25.000 And so everything is shut down and they say, hey, remember how good things were before the lockdown?
00:21:31.000 Remember how good they were during this temporary reprieve?
00:21:34.000 Well, if you want to keep enjoying restaurants and bars and travel and everything, you're going to have to get vaccinated.
00:21:41.000 And that's how they got to 70, 80, 90% vaccine adoption.
00:21:47.000 And it really was a reintroduction of a lockdown.
00:21:50.000 They reintroduced the mask mandates.
00:21:51.000 They implemented the vaccine mandates.
00:21:53.000 And I said all throughout 2021, I said, don't kid yourself, the lockdown never ended.
00:21:58.000 It's just that now they're giving people permission on a temporary and conditional basis to resume their lives.
00:22:05.000 But that's what it is.
00:22:07.000 You know, before 2020, obviously everything was open to everybody restaurants were open, stores were open, travel was open.
00:22:16.000 And the idea that government could restrict those things on a whim was absurd.
00:22:21.000 And then in 2020, everything was shut down.
00:22:24.000 In 2021, the lockdown didn't end.
00:22:26.000 They just temporarily suspended it.
00:22:29.000 And then later on in the year, it became conditional.
00:22:32.000 And they said, well, if you're not vaccinated, the lockdown is still very much in effect in certain jurisdictions.
00:22:39.000 And the mask mandates are still in effect, and so on.
00:22:42.000 And once again, here we are in 2022, and people are making the same mistake.
00:22:47.000 And at the beginning of the year, people said, wow, see, I think it's all over.
00:22:52.000 The mask mandates are over, the vax mandate is over, it's all over.
00:22:56.000 COVID is over.
00:22:58.000 But the scientists have been very clear about this.
00:23:00.000 They've been saying, you know, the so called medical experts, they've been saying, don't get too comfortable.
00:23:06.000 This is still far from over.
00:23:07.000 I mean, they keep saying that.
00:23:10.000 And again, I said this earlier.
00:23:12.000 I hope I'm wrong about this.
00:23:13.000 I really do.
00:23:14.000 I really hope I'm wrong.
00:23:17.000 But I am tempted to believe that we're on the precipice of another lockdown.
00:23:25.000 I don't think it's very likely.
00:23:27.000 You know, I wouldn't bet my life on it, I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it.
00:23:32.000 But I just have the sneaking suspicion, and not just based on what's happening in Austria, but again, based on the pattern, based on what we hear from the medical experts, they never quite give you an out.
00:23:43.000 They never quite say definitively, mission accomplished, it's over.
00:23:48.000 They always leave in enough room that they could really just do whatever they want whenever they want to.
00:23:54.000 They always leave in just enough uncertainty or ambiguity that they say, well, you know, it's good now, but there's still so much.
00:24:03.000 It's still far from over.
00:24:05.000 And that gives them just enough room if they need to in a few months to say, oh, never mind, it's all coming back.
00:24:13.000 And Austria is not the only country that's talking about this.
00:24:16.000 So, Austria, it's a perfect example.
00:24:18.000 Two weeks ago, they ended the mask mandate, they ended the vaccine mandate, like all the other countries.
00:24:25.000 Two weeks later, they're back.
00:24:26.000 And now you're going to have to show proof of vaccination in Austria.
00:24:29.000 And ultimately, why is that?
00:24:31.000 Because there's allegedly another big spike in cases.
00:24:34.000 And it's not just contained in Austria, it's happening in China.
00:24:39.000 It's happening in Israel.
00:24:40.000 It's happening in other countries in Europe.
00:24:45.000 And like I said, there seems to be a strong correlation between countries with high rates of vaccination and strict COVID protocols and countries now that are experiencing a fifth wave, a post Omicron wave of the virus, because they're seeing higher numbers than ever, or higher numbers comparable to the Omicron variant.
00:25:08.000 And, you know, what does this tell us?
00:25:09.000 It tells us, obviously, that not only does the vaccine not work, but if anything, it's doing the opposite of what it's intended to do.
00:25:17.000 It seems to be the case that, if Austria is an example, Austria is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.
00:25:25.000 Now they're having another wave, whereas countries with low rates of vaccination are not.
00:25:30.000 It seems to be the case that what people said about the vaccine, that it actually suppresses your immune system and creates immune fatigue, it seems that that is true.
00:25:43.000 And it seems that not only does the vaccine efficacy wear off and it's inferior to the natural immunity, but also it may even suppress the baseline a person, you know, the control group that has not gotten the vaccine at all or gotten COVID.
00:26:02.000 If we're seeing high rates of infection in countries where they have full vaccination and booster shots and even a second round of boosters.
00:26:12.000 So, you know, I don't really care what happens in Austria, but it is a little bit disturbing because I can absolutely see that happening here.
00:26:21.000 I can, clear as day, I can see another wave happening in the spring or in the fall.
00:26:28.000 You know, it could take until the end of the year, but I think it's especially likely before the election because it only gives them a further justification for the mail in ballots.
00:26:38.000 But it seems likely that before the end of the year, at least we're going to see another spike, another wave.
00:26:44.000 And what's going to come with that is all the COVID restrictions, the masks, the VACs, the mail in ballots.
00:26:52.000 I mean, I could see it happening here, snapping right back on.
00:26:56.000 And again, it brings me back to my original point.
00:26:58.000 Does anybody think that they can't do it?
00:27:00.000 Does anybody really believe that they would be unable to tomorrow change the rules on us again?
00:27:07.000 Of course they could do it.
00:27:09.000 And honestly, that's really the problem is that, you know, once they play that card, they have it now.
00:27:19.000 After 2020, nothing is the same.
00:27:21.000 If they locked down all the businesses and people just went with it, and then they made everybody get the vaccine and people just went with it, there's nothing they can't do.
00:27:31.000 They can just keep pushing and they could play this game.
00:27:35.000 They put it on, they take it off, they put it on, they take it off.
00:27:40.000 But we've demonstrated almost no threshold after which we'll begin to resist these things.
00:27:49.000 So we'll have to watch this closely, but don't think the COVID thing is out just yet.
00:27:53.000 I don't think it is.
00:27:54.000 I wish it was.
00:27:56.000 If we never had to talk about COVID again, I would be happy.
00:27:58.000 But when I see this happening in Austria and they talk about it in other countries, you know it can't be far off.
00:28:05.000 And it always works this way.
00:28:07.000 This is how the demasking began.
00:28:10.000 You know, at the beginning of the year, first it was a few countries in Europe that ended the vax mandate and ended the mask mandate, and then it spreads.
00:28:17.000 You know, then this country does it, and then America does it.
00:28:21.000 And similarly, it works in the other direction.
00:28:24.000 And one country puts it back on, and then the next country does, and then our country does.
00:28:28.000 You know, we're back to where we were.
00:28:31.000 So don't count yourself out just yet.
00:28:34.000 I think this vaccine and the COVID thing, it may come back.
00:28:39.000 Again, I don't know how likely it is, but if they're doing it in Austria, other countries are not far behind.
00:28:47.000 So that's that.
00:28:48.000 But we'll keep an eye on it.
00:28:49.000 I'll be watching and I'll be monitoring the situation.
00:28:52.000 I really hope it doesn't, though, because I just hate it.
00:28:56.000 And it's just like a joke.
00:28:57.000 Like, you know, I went to see my lawyer the other day.
00:29:01.000 And he's a nice guy, but he's a liberal.
00:29:04.000 He's very good.
00:29:05.000 He's very expensive.
00:29:06.000 I'll just say that.
00:29:07.000 I had to write a very big check yesterday, which I was not happy about.
00:29:12.000 I had to write a very big check, but it's worth it because he's a very, I mean, this guy is a big deal.
00:29:21.000 But he is a liberal.
00:29:24.000 And I go to meet with him downtown, and he's got the full KN 95, whatever, mask on.
00:29:32.000 And I'm like, You could take the mask off, you know?
00:29:36.000 Like, I don't even think Lori Lightfoot is imposing this anymore.
00:29:39.000 You could take the mask off, man.
00:29:41.000 But I mean, I see this guy wearing the mask and I'm like, you know, what's the deal here?
00:29:45.000 I mean, do you think you're going to get sick?
00:29:47.000 I mean, isn't it apparent now that this thing is bullshit?
00:29:51.000 I mean, this COVID thing washed over the population and I haven't seen people dropping like flies.
00:29:58.000 People are saying, Norm Pattis.
00:29:59.000 No, it's my other expensive lawyer.
00:30:02.000 I have several expensive lawyers, okay?
00:30:04.000 I have several very expensive, very big deal lawyers, all right?
00:30:08.000 It was my other very expensive big deal lawyer, not Norm.
00:30:13.000 I did retain Norm for the no fly list.
00:30:15.000 I retained this lawyer for something else.
00:30:20.000 But yeah, he's wearing the mask.
00:30:21.000 I'm like, come on, man, what are you doing?
00:30:25.000 So, anyway, I don't know how people are still buying in.
00:30:33.000 I got to get a haircut.
00:30:34.000 My hair is just way too long.
00:30:36.000 I hate the way it looks right now.
00:30:39.000 I spent a long time before the show trying to get it right, but it's just too thick.
00:30:45.000 There's just too much of it.
00:30:46.000 I just.
00:30:51.000 It just gets poofy, you know?
00:30:52.000 It just.
00:30:55.000 I hate the way that it just grows out like an afro.
00:31:05.000 So, I'm going to get a haircut next week.
00:31:09.000 Next week, I'm scheduled.
00:31:11.000 I've got to get in.
00:31:13.000 But, yeah, so I don't know how people just accept the way things are.
00:31:19.000 It's obviously a bunch of nonsense.
00:31:21.000 And if they can turn it off and on, like, you know, clearly we're not in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
00:31:27.000 Give me a break.
00:31:28.000 Who honestly believes it anymore?
00:31:30.000 I don't know how people believe this shit.
00:31:32.000 And we're going to have to go back to the Vax passport.
00:31:35.000 Can I see your Vax passport and your ID, please?
00:31:38.000 I mean, I can't believe it.
00:31:42.000 Like, it's honestly unbelievable.
00:31:43.000 And I predicted the vax mandate a year ago, you know, before it even started.
00:31:49.000 I predicted the vax mandate when they were saying, oh, that'll never happen.
00:31:53.000 And I cannot believe still that I would go to restaurants in downtown Chicago and they would ask me to show me for a proof of vaccination and my ID to eat in a restaurant.
00:32:07.000 It's unbelievable.
00:32:08.000 Like, I can't, I still can't believe it.
00:32:10.000 And again, I predicted it before it was happening.
00:32:14.000 I predicted it a year before it was happening.
00:32:16.000 And still, when I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it.
00:32:22.000 I tried the new Gordon Ramsay burger a few months ago when it first opened up during the vax mandate.
00:32:29.000 And I walk in, and they literally go, Before I seat you, I need to see your vax card and your ID.
00:32:37.000 And if you don't have it, they don't let you in.
00:32:40.000 How insane is that?
00:32:43.000 Like it's an airport or something.
00:32:45.000 I mean, it's ridiculous enough that there's so much security at the airport.
00:32:49.000 But to sit down and have a burger, I have to show you my license?
00:32:52.000 I mean, what world are we living in?
00:32:55.000 What timeline is this?
00:32:56.000 It's just insane.
00:32:58.000 And it was like that in every place I went in downtown Chicago and New York when we were in New York for the Vax Watch rally.
00:33:06.000 Same thing.
00:33:07.000 We couldn't eat anywhere.
00:33:09.000 We went all across the city trying to get in, and we couldn't get into one restaurant because we had to show proof of vaccination.
00:33:16.000 And they wouldn't let us in.
00:33:17.000 And we fought with them.
00:33:18.000 We said, please, we won't tell anybody.
00:33:21.000 Like late at night, too, we went to this one restaurant.
00:33:23.000 It was 1 a.m., it was on a Thursday.
00:33:28.000 And we're like, come on, will you just let us in?
00:33:30.000 Oh, we forgot our passports at home.
00:33:31.000 Could you let us in?
00:33:32.000 And they go, no, I'm sorry, we can't.
00:33:36.000 Like it's, and we had like a party of eight people.
00:33:39.000 So it's like, that's good business during a pandemic.
00:33:42.000 A party of eight people, like, you know, that's a lot of money for a business and for the waiter.
00:33:49.000 And we had that conversation at like five restaurants.
00:33:52.000 It's just nuts.
00:33:56.000 In Chicago, for Gordon Ramsay, we were able to sneak in, okay?
00:34:02.000 I don't want to get into the particulars, but for the Gordon Ramsay restaurant, I tell people don't make a fake and all that, and don't try to evade the system.
00:34:10.000 Just accept it in the sense that if you try to skirt the system, you're like basically embracing the system.
00:34:19.000 But for the Gordon Ramsay burger, we found a little bit of a loophole, okay?
00:34:23.000 For the Ramsay burger, you know, for Chef Ramsay, I mean, come on, you know.
00:34:27.000 So we found a little bit of a loophole.
00:34:30.000 We did a little Jedi mind trick at the door.
00:34:32.000 It's called, we do a little, you know, we are completely vaccinated, okay?
00:34:37.000 We're totally vaccinated.
00:34:39.000 Let us have the burger.
00:34:41.000 And they said, we'll let you have the burger, you know?
00:34:44.000 So we did a little Jedi mind trick for Ramsay, for Chef Ramsay.
00:34:56.000 But otherwise, I say you should never try this.
00:35:00.000 But for the Gordon Ramsay burger, we just do a little, it's called, we do a little Jedi mind trick so we could have for Chef Ramsey.
00:35:12.000 But anyway, so I think it's coming back though.
00:35:17.000 I think we may have to deal with it again.
00:35:19.000 I hope we don't.
00:35:20.000 I really hope I'm wrong about that though.
00:35:22.000 Because if I never had to deal with that again, I would be a happy person.
00:35:25.000 But I'm not confident that that's true though, you know.
00:35:34.000 Well, let's see.
00:35:37.000 We're going to move on.
00:35:38.000 I want to get into our featured story about Ukraine.
00:35:40.000 Like I said, not a whole lot of news here, but I want to talk about this persistent narrative I keep hearing.
00:35:45.000 They're saying that Russia's losing the war.
00:35:48.000 And they've been saying this now for the, I mean, they've been saying it really since it began, but in the past week, everybody's saying that Russia, their advance has stalled.
00:35:57.000 They're getting bogged down, fierce opposition from the Ukrainians that they didn't anticipate, crazy high casualty numbers.
00:36:06.000 And this is just one.
00:36:07.000 Such article.
00:36:08.000 This is from Wall Street Journal.
00:36:09.000 I'll read this to you.
00:36:12.000 It says NATO estimates that Russia may have lost as much as one fifth of its combat forces in about a month of fighting in Ukraine as President Biden and alliance leaders gather in Brussels for a summit to discuss providing further support to Kiev to repel the Russian invasion.
00:36:30.000 Up to 40,000 Russian troops have been killed, wounded, taken prisoner, or are missing in Ukraine, according to a senior military official from NATO.
00:36:41.000 Russia may have also lost 10% of its equipment, impairing Moscow's ability to maintain its pace of operations.
00:36:48.000 So, NATO, a totally reliable source, says that 40,000 Russians have been killed or lost in the fighting so far.
00:36:56.000 40,000 people.
00:36:57.000 Really?
00:36:59.000 They've lost a fifth of their fighting force.
00:37:03.000 Yeah, super believable.
00:37:05.000 It says the casualty count would underscore how much Russia's attack on Ukraine that began on February 24th has become bogged down.
00:37:14.000 After what defense analysts Have said, have been a series of operational missteps.
00:37:20.000 Ukrainian defensive operations have emerged as far tougher and enduring than was expected.
00:37:26.000 NATO officials on Thursday are expected to further ratchet up the pressure on Russia when alliance leaders meet in Brussels.
00:37:33.000 The NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg said, We are determined to do all we can to support Ukraine.
00:37:40.000 I expect allies will agree to provide additional support, including cybersecurity assistance, as well as equipment to help Ukraine protect against chemical, biological, and Radiological and nuclear threats.
00:37:53.000 Important note: Russia is not talking about using chemical weapons, but yet the NATO Secretary General is.
00:38:03.000 Mr. Biden is set to arrive in Brussels on Wednesday.
00:38:06.000 As he left Washington, he warned that the potential for chemical warfare in the conflict in Ukraine represented a real threat, while the State Department formally accused Russia of committing war crimes in Ukraine.
00:38:21.000 Russian bombardment has destroyed between 80 and 90 percent of Mariupol, say local officials.
00:38:27.000 Biden arrives in, this is another headline.
00:38:31.000 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is betting that the NATO summit, to be followed by a meeting of the Group of Seven, the European Union leaders, will yield help for his country and sanctions on Russia.
00:38:44.000 Three important summits this week the G7, NATO, and the EU.
00:38:47.000 New sanctions packages, new aids, said Mr. Zelensky.
00:38:51.000 He is scheduled to join each of the meetings virtually.
00:38:55.000 So, here's a few things about this and about the coverage.
00:39:02.000 So, what we're being told about the war, you cannot take it face value because what is being produced is, in the strictest possible terms, propaganda.
00:39:14.000 It's a war, it's a proxy war.
00:39:18.000 It's a proxy war initially between Kiev and Donbass, between the West and Russia.
00:39:26.000 And now you've got this war between Kiev and Russia itself, not its proxies.
00:39:32.000 And of course, NATO and the United States are backing Kiev.
00:39:36.000 And so, of course, when NATO gives figures and analysis, they know that public opinion is actually part of the war.
00:39:46.000 Shaping public opinion is part of the war effort.
00:39:49.000 And controlling the narrative about the war and controlling perception of the war and information about the war is almost just as important as any other aspect of the war.
00:39:58.000 The bullets, the logistics, the air superiority, and so on.
00:40:03.000 So, what we get from NATO is not information.
00:40:06.000 What we get from NATO are narratives.
00:40:09.000 And the narratives are meant to shape public opinion, and public opinion is a tool in the arsenal of the alliance against Russia.
00:40:17.000 So, we cannot take anything they say at face value.
00:40:21.000 And of course, all of the information we're getting about the war is coming from the United States government and from the NATO alliance.
00:40:30.000 This Wall Street Journal article cites only NATO and government sources.
00:40:35.000 And the same is true of all the other major publications and news stations CNN, NBC, CBS, New York Times, Washington Post.
00:40:43.000 They're all regime media, and so they're all pushing the regime narrative, the regime propaganda about the regime's war in Ukraine.
00:40:52.000 So when we see this narrative that Russia's being bogged down, just like the narrative on Afghanistan, just like the narrative on actually Iraq 19 years ago, You can never, when it comes to war in particular, generally speaking, this is true, but with war in particular, you can never take what the media says in itself as information.
00:41:13.000 You cannot take it at face value.
00:41:15.000 But that doesn't mean that it doesn't have value because, of course, what the regime is putting out, and we can identify, of course, what's in the mainstream media is the regime narrative.
00:41:28.000 Based on the narrative we get from the media, we can sort of work backwards and discern.
00:41:35.000 Based on what is being said, we can know what they want the public to think.
00:41:40.000 Based on what they want the public to think and how, therefore, they want the public to act, we can know what they want.
00:41:47.000 And based on discerning what they want, we can kind of come to an understanding about what's really going on.
00:41:55.000 But you understand that we really have to engage in more of an analysis of why they are saying this rather than what they are saying.
00:42:02.000 So I'm much less interested in what this article says as much as.
00:42:06.000 Why would they be saying this?
00:42:08.000 Why is the Wall Street Journal reporting this?
00:42:11.000 Why is Biden talking about chemical weapons?
00:42:14.000 Why is NATO talking about chemical weapons?
00:42:17.000 Well, it's not because they're conveying real intel about the propensity of Moscow to use chemical weapons in the conflict, but because for whatever reason they want us to think this is the case.
00:42:32.000 The Biden regime and the NATO alliance and the Wall Street Journal want us to know this, they want us to think this.
00:42:39.000 Why?
00:42:40.000 So that's just a general remark about the media.
00:42:44.000 The first thing I'll say is this on its face.
00:42:48.000 The idea that Russia has lost 40,000 troops is ridiculous.
00:42:53.000 There has not been any engagement between the Ukrainians and Russians where the Ukrainians have won.
00:43:00.000 When you compare any Ukrainian unit to a comparable Russian unit in any engagement in the war, the Ukrainians have not won.
00:43:07.000 They have not won land, they have not defended land, they are not winning their engagements, they have no control of the airspace.
00:43:14.000 They have no artillery, no heavy machinery.
00:43:18.000 It seems to be the case that the most that you could say is that the fighting is proving to be protracted.
00:43:25.000 And you could say that that is because Russia is taking care to not have high civilian casualties and not destroy large parts of Ukraine.
00:43:35.000 You could say that it is a logistically complicated operation.
00:43:38.000 You could say that they require reinforcements.
00:43:41.000 But the idea that 40,000 Russians have been killed is ridiculous.
00:43:45.000 The idea that the tide of the war.
00:43:49.000 Is in any way contested is ridiculous.
00:43:53.000 And just take a look at the actions of the parties involved.
00:43:56.000 Would Zelensky be begging the Canadian Parliament, the US Congress, the Israeli Knesset, the British Parliament?
00:44:03.000 Would he be begging these foreign bodies for a no fly zone and for military aid and to do more if he was surely winning this war on his own?
00:44:12.000 It's ridiculous.
00:44:12.000 Of course not.
00:44:14.000 Would all of this intervention be required if Ukraine was going to win this war?
00:44:18.000 Of course not.
00:44:19.000 If Ukraine was winning this war, why haven't they gained any territory?
00:44:24.000 In 30 days, Russia has taken over a portion of Ukraine that is as big as the United Kingdom.
00:44:33.000 And the rate at which they have taken over is unprecedented and dramatic.
00:44:38.000 In a sense, they have taken more territory than the Americans took in Iraq in a similar amount of time.
00:44:45.000 And the American military was stronger than the Russian military.
00:44:49.000 And the Iraqi military was weaker than the Ukrainian military.
00:44:53.000 And despite the fact that there's a smaller differential, and in absolute terms, Russia is weaker.
00:44:58.000 They still have managed to gain more territory in a shorter amount of time.
00:45:03.000 So the war is not going badly for Russia.
00:45:07.000 You could say that there's something like a stalemate happening right now, but it is not because 40,000 Russians have been killed.
00:45:13.000 That's just ridiculous.
00:45:14.000 But that's on the claim on its face.
00:45:17.000 The second thing I'll say about it is this, and this is what's worrisome.
00:45:22.000 I think they are saying that.
00:45:25.000 Well, there's a few reasons they're saying this.
00:45:26.000 The first reason is, of course, you're always trying to demoralize your opponent.
00:45:30.000 And if you say you're winning, Then that attracts more resources to your side.
00:45:35.000 Nobody wants to join up with a losing army.
00:45:38.000 Nobody wants to go down with a sinking ship or climb aboard a sinking ship, I should say.
00:45:44.000 If Ukraine is doomed, and if the media is saying that Ukraine is doomed, who is going to want to jump on the side of Ukraine just so that it could be defeated?
00:45:52.000 Nobody wants to jump on a sinking ship.
00:45:55.000 So, that basic psychology is why they always have to say Ukraine may win and Russia's losing, and they always have to spin it like Russia hasn't flattened Ukraine and destroyed their military.
00:46:05.000 So that's partially why they're saying it.
00:46:07.000 It's to rally the troops, and there's an agenda there too about the West.
00:46:12.000 They don't want the West to know that Russia is just pushing Ukraine shit in and there's nothing we could do about it.
00:46:18.000 But I think there's also something far more sinister going on here, which is I think there's a real reason they're saying that Russia is losing.
00:46:26.000 And it's not just for all the basic reasons, it's for a more complex reason.
00:46:31.000 And I think it goes hand in hand with what they're saying about weapons of mass destruction.
00:46:36.000 Because both the NATO Secretary General and the US President and the State Department are all saying something similar.
00:46:43.000 First, they said it was war crimes.
00:46:45.000 Last week, they began the narrative about war crimes, and I predicted this.
00:46:50.000 I said last week, you're going to see that this is the new thing.
00:46:54.000 They're going to talk about atrocities and cruelty, and they'll talk about war crimes in Ukraine.
00:47:00.000 I said that last week when I think a spokesperson said it from the State Department, and some other low level official said it.
00:47:07.000 And I said, Watch, that's what they're going to go with.
00:47:10.000 The United States will officially say war crimes, and that's what they did.
00:47:14.000 I think it was today or yesterday.
00:47:15.000 They said war crimes.
00:47:17.000 This is the new thing now, and I've been hearing this for a few days.
00:47:20.000 They're saying that Putin will use chemical weapons.
00:47:24.000 And I think the chemical weapons and the stalemate narrative go hand in hand because the stalemate makes it plausible that Putin would use chemical weapons.
00:47:34.000 So it has to follow this procession here.
00:47:37.000 So Russia invaded, and they steamrolled Ukraine, but then they ran into tough resistance.
00:47:44.000 Now it's a stalemate, now it's a war of attrition.
00:47:46.000 Putin wants to end this war quickly.
00:47:48.000 Putin can't sustain a prolonged campaign like this.
00:47:52.000 Ukraine will bleed Russia because this will be very costly in terms of blood and treasure.
00:47:56.000 He's running through officers, he's running through generals, he's running through troops, and Putin wants out, basically.
00:48:05.000 So they say, what is Putin's way out?
00:48:07.000 An increasingly desperate Putin, desperate to break the stalemate and bring a hasty end to the conflict, will deploy chemical weapons.
00:48:16.000 And this is where you get Biden and Stoltenberg and the others are saying now it's chemical weapons.
00:48:21.000 And what you see happening in real time is they're building the case for an intervention.
00:48:27.000 They're building the case for an escalation.
00:48:30.000 And again, I don't know what that looks like.
00:48:32.000 Does that mean that NATO is going to invade?
00:48:33.000 Does that mean that the United States will declare war?
00:48:36.000 I mean, I think that would be dramatic.
00:48:38.000 But are they going to use that to bully China?
00:48:40.000 Are they going to use that to bully other countries into sanctioning Russia?
00:48:47.000 But they're going to use that to escalate the containment of Russia.
00:48:51.000 They're going to use that to say, hey, look, I know we went balls to the wall before, but now it's even worse.
00:48:58.000 It was bad when Russia invaded Ukraine and the world stood together to fight Russia, but now they went too far because they used chemical weapons and they're committing war crimes.
00:49:07.000 And now we need to, and so it's about creating a pretext for an escalation.
00:49:13.000 And that's my ear.
00:49:14.000 You know, listen, a big part of my strong suits, a big strength of mine is I have an intuition, I hear these things.
00:49:24.000 I hear these things.
00:49:25.000 I see how they can be pieced together.
00:49:27.000 I didn't read this anywhere, okay?
00:49:29.000 I didn't read this theory anywhere, but I hear these things and I hear certain things.
00:49:34.000 And, you know, again, maybe I'm totally off base on this.
00:49:39.000 This is all speculation.
00:49:42.000 But what I hear happening again, when Biden says this, he's not communicating information, he is seeding an idea.
00:49:49.000 He wants people to know and he wants people to speculate will Putin use chemical weapons?
00:49:56.000 That's what they're counting on.
00:49:57.000 They're putting that out there in the national news media, and that is one of those things that's being said.
00:50:02.000 And people are thinking, will Putin use chemical weapons?
00:50:05.000 And then that gives them an opportunity to fulfill that question and say, yeah, Putin used chemical weapons.
00:50:11.000 And Putin may deny it.
00:50:12.000 He may say, no, that didn't happen, but who's to say?
00:50:16.000 Putin's evil.
00:50:17.000 He's a liar.
00:50:17.000 It's all propaganda from them.
00:50:19.000 We know what happened.
00:50:20.000 We have the footage, we have the proof.
00:50:23.000 And remember, we said a week ago, hey, you know, and he committed war crimes.
00:50:27.000 And once you have the introduction of chemical weapons, now you have a legitimate pretext to declare war on Russia because that's one of the big stipulations.
00:50:35.000 You know, when Destiny and I debated on Friday about, you know, what are considered the exceptions to national sovereignty, it is the proliferation or use of WMDs, it's genocide, it's the invasion of another sovereign nation.
00:50:52.000 And then I think there's a fourth one.
00:50:56.000 But those are typically considered some of the exceptions.
00:51:01.000 Permitted exceptions by the United Nations and the Atlantic Charter and all of that.
00:51:07.000 Why can a nation invade?
00:51:09.000 Why did we have the right to invade Saddam Hussein?
00:51:12.000 Well, because Saddam Hussein was building a nuclear arsenal, allegedly, and had a chemical and biological weapons arsenal.
00:51:20.000 He had invaded Kuwait.
00:51:21.000 He was conducting an ethnic cleansing in the country.
00:51:25.000 And so that was enough for the Senate to vote that Saddam Hussein had to be removed and the Security Council and the General Assembly.
00:51:32.000 So, when you hear these things, again, when the State Department talks, you have to hear these things.
00:51:40.000 They're not just saying, like, oh, yeah, you're a terrorist or whatever.
00:51:43.000 No, like, these words have meaning.
00:51:44.000 When they say, oh, he's a war criminal, that's a lot different than saying he's a killer.
00:51:48.000 You know, Biden said, oh, yeah, he's a killer, he's a murderer.
00:51:51.000 When you say you're a war criminal, that actually has a legal definition and that actually has real ramifications.
00:51:56.000 And the same goes for chemical weapons.
00:51:58.000 You might think, oh, it's just more.
00:52:00.000 No, no.
00:52:01.000 The use of chemical weapons is a very.
00:52:04.000 I mean, that would be a very big deal here.
00:52:07.000 And Biden knows that.
00:52:08.000 And that's why they're saying that.
00:52:10.000 And they use the same tactic in Syria.
00:52:13.000 You know, nine years ago, during the Syrian civil war, remember Barack Obama said, my red line where America will intervene in the conflict is if the Assad regime uses chemical weapons.
00:52:27.000 And then in 2013, there was all this reporting that Assad used chemical weapons.
00:52:31.000 It was disputed.
00:52:34.000 You know, the Assad regime denied it, and people on the ground denied it.
00:52:37.000 And it turned out that there was never any proof.
00:52:39.000 That happened.
00:52:39.000 That was a lie.
00:52:41.000 But at the time, people said, oh, look, oh, look, they crossed a red line.
00:52:43.000 They used chemical weapons.
00:52:44.000 Now you have to intervene because that's like a war crime.
00:52:47.000 That's, again, you have forfeited your sovereignty when you do that.
00:52:53.000 And then Obama gave it to Congress and said, well, Congress has the right to vote if we can intervene.
00:52:59.000 And, you know, the Republican Congress shut it down.
00:53:02.000 And Obama said, well, no, I can't do anything about it.
00:53:04.000 But remember, that's what they did in Syria.
00:53:07.000 They said it was the use of chemical weapons.
00:53:10.000 That is the red line.
00:53:11.000 That is what would draw the United States into a conflict.
00:53:13.000 It's the proliferation of these WMDs, proliferation and use of biological, chemical, nuclear weapons.
00:53:20.000 And so, if that's introduced in the war, that dramatically changes what happens.
00:53:24.000 And I think that's what they're gearing up for.
00:53:26.000 I think they're building the case for an American intervention.
00:53:29.000 And how they're going to do it is say that, well, Putin's committing war crimes and they use chemical weapons.
00:53:34.000 And it'll be a lie, it'll be a farce, it'll be a false flag.
00:53:38.000 The footage will be doctored.
00:53:39.000 But I think that's going to be the message.
00:53:41.000 And then that's going to change the menu options.
00:53:44.000 That the US and NATO have at their disposal to retaliate against Russia.
00:53:48.000 I think that's what's going on here.
00:53:50.000 And the stalemate narrative is part of it.
00:53:54.000 It's a stalemate.
00:53:56.000 So he's using siege tactics on Mariupol and Kiev, and he's using chemical weapons to break the stalemate.
00:54:04.000 That's going to be the story.
00:54:05.000 Putin rushed in, the Russian army made rapid advances, and then they got bogged down because the resistance was just too tough.
00:54:13.000 And then the Russian army was being bled, the generals were dying.
00:54:17.000 Putin was losing domestic political support.
00:54:20.000 The Russian forces are being depleted.
00:54:22.000 Their equipment is being destroyed.
00:54:24.000 Their economy is being crippled.
00:54:27.000 And so Putin realized he had to bring a hasty end to the war, but he couldn't because the Ukraine army was too strong.
00:54:34.000 So, what did he do?
00:54:35.000 He used chemical weapons, he used banned chemical weapons.
00:54:35.000 He cheated.
00:54:39.000 This is all very plausible.
00:54:41.000 But now the United States has to intervene because he's just gone too far this time.
00:54:45.000 It seems to me that that's the story they're creating.
00:54:49.000 Mark my words, I think you'll hear that in a few weeks' time.
00:54:53.000 I think that is going to be what they're going with.
00:54:56.000 And that's going to force Russia in a very tight spot.
00:54:59.000 Because Putin knows what happens when the United States finds chemical weapons.
00:55:04.000 And so that's only, he knows that's going to increase the pressure on him.
00:55:08.000 And it may even increase domestic pressure from the so called oligarchs or others.
00:55:16.000 So when I hear the stalemate stuff, not only is it not true, but I think it's very sinister.
00:55:21.000 And when I hear Stoltenberg and Biden, when I hear them both saying they're very concerned about chemical weapons, where have we heard this before?
00:55:30.000 You know, stop.
00:55:31.000 I think we've heard this one before.
00:55:33.000 We heard this in Syria.
00:55:34.000 We heard this in Iraq.
00:55:36.000 We heard this in Libya.
00:55:37.000 We heard this in Iran.
00:55:39.000 This is what they go with it's always with the chemical weapons.
00:55:43.000 And if they're hinting at it, you know, they've already found them.
00:55:46.000 It's just a matter of time here.
00:55:48.000 So that's the current state of the conflict.
00:55:52.000 I'm a little bit worried about that because, you know, it would be really catastrophic if Russia were to lose Ukraine here.
00:56:02.000 And I don't think they're just going to let it go.
00:56:03.000 I don't think that the United States is going to allow itself to just be humiliated like this on the world stage.
00:56:09.000 I think they know the consequences would be dire.
00:56:12.000 So if you think that they're going to let Russia just take Ukraine without a major fight, I think you're wrong.
00:56:17.000 And so that's why they're bolstering their aid to Ukraine, and that's why they're spinning this narrative and planting these seeds.
00:56:23.000 I think they're getting ready for an escalation.
00:56:25.000 That's what it looks like to me, because these people are not messing around with this.
00:56:30.000 They're not messing around.
00:56:34.000 But that's all speculation.
00:56:36.000 That's all my theory.
00:56:40.000 And I'm typically right about this stuff.
00:56:43.000 I really have a good sense for this because, you know, it was the serious strikes in 17 that I called.
00:56:48.000 Nobody else knew it, but I did.
00:56:51.000 When we did the first serious strikes under the Trump admin in April 17, you know, everybody said, oh, he's going to invade Syria.
00:56:58.000 And I said, he's not going to invade Syria.
00:57:00.000 I said, he's doing that to spook.
00:57:03.000 The Chinese, because Xi Jinping was in Mar a Lago when those strikes were launched, and Trump was in the middle of brinksmanship with North Korea, which he began in February of that year.
00:57:13.000 So I thought that was the equivalent of Trump putting his balls on the table and saying, Yeah, we follow through on red lines.
00:57:19.000 We make red lines and then we follow through.
00:57:23.000 We drew a red line, we created the pretext, then we bombed Syria, and that was to demonstrate this isn't the Obama administration, and I'm not messing around with North Korea.
00:57:32.000 And if I'm not messing around with North Korea, I'm not messing around with China.
00:57:35.000 And, you know, Jack Posobick at the time said, and Mike Cernovich said, and everybody else said, 100,000 U.S. troops in Syria on June 1st.
00:57:44.000 And it never materialized because the airstrikes were for show.
00:57:48.000 It was 52 Minutemen missiles, and they hardly did any damage.
00:57:53.000 They blew up an airfield in Homs.
00:57:55.000 The airfield was operational 24 hours later.
00:57:57.000 There was no material damage done.
00:58:00.000 It was just to prove a point.
00:58:01.000 That was the first foreign visit that Trump had hosted from the Chinese president at Mar-a-Lago.
00:58:06.000 And while they were eating dessert, Trump bombed Syria.
00:58:10.000 And that was in the middle of the brainsmanship with North Korea, which was similar.
00:58:15.000 And so Trump was trying to basically intimidate China and prove to China, hey, I've got balls so that China would intercede and put pressure on North Korea.
00:58:25.000 And then he did the same thing the following April.
00:58:28.000 You know, in January 2018, 10 months later, after 10 months of carrier strike groups in the Sea of Japan and those missile tests and warhead tests, North Korea walked with South Korea in the Winter Olympics.
00:58:46.000 And then.
00:58:47.000 In February 2018, during a press conference, Kim Jong Un, or I think an American spokesperson, said that there was going to be a meeting, a historic meeting between Kim Jong Un and the president.
00:58:58.000 And then there was a period for a few months where the North Koreans were playing games.
00:59:02.000 And they said, there's not going to be a conference.
00:59:04.000 There will be a conference.
00:59:05.000 There's not going to be a conference.
00:59:06.000 There will be a conference.
00:59:08.000 Then Trump did a series of actions, which I think were intended to demonstrate seriousness.
00:59:14.000 He brought John Bolton onto the national security team, made him the national security advisor.
00:59:18.000 He bombed Syria for a second time, and this time it was a coalition airstrike, 150 missiles, which the United Kingdom collaborated on.
00:59:27.000 And then in June, and then in June of that year, two months later, you got the summit in Singapore.
00:59:35.000 And you got the detente.
00:59:38.000 And I think that was the trick to play Syria off of North Korea, or vice versa.
00:59:51.000 And that was the approach.
00:59:52.000 That was the strategy at work.
01:00:00.000 And similarly, Trump did the same thing in Venezuela, I think, trying to signal to Iran.
01:00:05.000 And I think that's what's happening here.
01:00:09.000 Well, not quite, but this is how the American foreign policy apparatus is thinking.
01:00:14.000 This is how the State Department and the Pentagon and all the rest are thinking.
01:00:19.000 They know that, you know, and it's like Putin.
01:00:21.000 Putin used a hypersonic missile on an arms depot in Ukraine.
01:00:24.000 He knows the significance of that.
01:00:26.000 They could use lots of missiles.
01:00:27.000 He used a hypersonic missile against an arms depot in Western Ukraine, and that was to demonstrate we have this capability and you don't.
01:00:36.000 We have this superiority and you don't.
01:00:38.000 We have hypersonic missiles that can pierce your ABM shield, that can take out NATO.
01:00:41.000 We can do it.
01:00:43.000 That's why he's bombing these targets in Western Ukraine as well.
01:00:47.000 So, this is how the leaders communicate with each other.
01:00:50.000 There's a subtext.
01:00:51.000 And when Biden and Stoltenberg are talking about chemical weapons, don't misunderstand what's going on there.
01:00:58.000 They're not saying, we just, whoa, we just got this report from totally honest people.
01:01:03.000 And this is, no, no, no.
01:01:05.000 That's a message.
01:01:06.000 That's a message to Putin.
01:01:07.000 That's a message to the people.
01:01:09.000 Putin knows the game.
01:01:10.000 Biden knows the game.
01:01:11.000 They know the story.
01:01:12.000 They know the score, what chemical weapons means.
01:01:15.000 It means right to protect, it means that will give a pretext to NATO to intervene.
01:01:20.000 Everyone knows that.
01:01:22.000 Everyone knows that.
01:01:23.000 Biden knows that when he says it.
01:01:25.000 Putin knows it when he hears it.
01:01:26.000 It's all of us that don't know.
01:01:28.000 It's an ignorant public that goes, oh, chemical weapons, that sounds terrible.
01:01:32.000 But everybody who's a player knows full well what that means.
01:01:35.000 And the stalemate narrative is part of that.
01:01:37.000 War crimes, chemical weapons, they're building the legal case from an international standpoint for dramatic escalation in the containment of Russia.
01:01:45.000 Mark my words, that's what's going on here.
01:01:47.000 And the stalemate serves that narrative because it creates a plausible story for why that would happen.
01:01:53.000 Otherwise, why would Putin need to use chemical weapons?
01:01:56.000 He needs to use chemical weapons because it's a war.
01:01:58.000 It's turned into a brutal war of attrition, which he cannot sustain, and he needs to break the stalemate.
01:02:03.000 How does he do it?
01:02:04.000 Take a risk.
01:02:05.000 Use chemical weapons.
01:02:07.000 It just so happens that that'll invite more intense scrutiny that has so far been applied.
01:02:15.000 So that's what's going on.
01:02:19.000 I think that's it, 100%.
01:02:21.000 I'm speculating, but I think that's it.
01:02:23.000 But anyway, we're going to move on.
01:02:26.000 We're going to take a look at the super chats.
01:02:30.000 That's just a thought.
01:02:37.000 But I'm going to take a look here and we'll see what you guys have to say about all this.
01:02:43.000 I just have to know.
01:02:50.000 Okay.
01:02:55.000 We've got Reactionary Retards says, Hey, Nick.
01:02:55.000 Let's see.
01:03:01.000 Apologies for being niggardly with the super chats last night.
01:03:05.000 Here is some money.
01:03:06.000 I hate driving around my neighborhood with the Ukrainian flags everywhere.
01:03:10.000 I can't wait till.
01:03:11.000 Excuse me, until Putin definitively wins this war and they all just shut the fuck up.
01:03:16.000 Just want to show some solidarity for those real niggas in Russia.
01:03:21.000 Hey, well, no worries, man.
01:03:22.000 Thanks for the big super chat.
01:03:24.000 I was really just busting your balls.
01:03:26.000 You know, I'm just waging a war against the super chatters.
01:03:29.000 So I'm just bullying you to stop sending multiple $3 super chats.
01:03:33.000 But hey, no worries, man.
01:03:35.000 I appreciate it.
01:03:36.000 And I know, man, the Ukrainian stuff is so tiresome.
01:03:39.000 I see it everywhere, too.
01:03:41.000 The lawn signs, the ribbons on the trees, it's on the marquees.
01:03:46.000 Everywhere I go, I just flip it off.
01:03:49.000 There's this flower shop near me, and they've got on their marquee, it says, Pray for Ukraine.
01:03:54.000 I just flip it off every time I drive by.
01:03:57.000 I can't help it.
01:03:57.000 I'm just like, you know what?
01:03:58.000 Fuck this flower shop.
01:04:01.000 Why don't you just sell flowers?
01:04:02.000 I don't need a geopolitical position with the fucking flowers.
01:04:07.000 And there's another billboard near me, and it's got a big Ukrainian flag.
01:04:12.000 I told you there's a street corner and it's got all these posters that say, Stop the war, stop Putin.
01:04:20.000 Why don't you shut the hell up?
01:04:22.000 So I just can't wait for it to be over for that reason alone and get these people.
01:04:26.000 These people just need to be defeated.
01:04:28.000 More than Zelensky needs to be defeated, these people need to lose.
01:04:35.000 These libtards.
01:04:36.000 They need to know that, guess what?
01:04:38.000 F you.
01:04:39.000 Hey, you know what you need to understand?
01:04:42.000 F you.
01:04:44.000 Because these libtards, it's like they live in candy land and they just need to be made to cry.
01:04:52.000 Every time that happens, we're winning.
01:04:54.000 Trump needs to win.
01:04:55.000 Brexit needs to happen.
01:04:57.000 Putin needs to win.
01:04:58.000 Like, we just need these liberals to just have their whole life destroyed, you know?
01:05:07.000 Because that's what it's about.
01:05:08.000 I mean, they think that, like, they control the world, they think they're God.
01:05:12.000 And so we just need to give them losses.
01:05:14.000 They need to lose everything.
01:05:16.000 We need to take everything from them.
01:05:18.000 We need to honk our horns and stop the steal and unite the right.
01:05:24.000 And we need Trump in office and we need Putin in Ukraine and we need COVID vaccines to kill.
01:05:33.000 And that's what we need.
01:05:35.000 We need total Libtar destruction.
01:05:42.000 Marnix has heard you have a bad sleep schedule.
01:05:45.000 Have you tried sticking a gun in your mouth and pulling the trigger?
01:05:48.000 You will feel immediate effects.
01:05:51.000 No, I haven't tried that yet, but I've heard a lot about that one, and it seems like if I just can't get it together, I think there's always that option.
01:06:01.000 That is always on the table.
01:06:05.000 It's always there.
01:06:06.000 It's always a backup.
01:06:08.000 If I ever just can't get the sleep schedule together, it's always there.
01:06:14.000 It's always there.
01:06:16.000 It's always there as an option.
01:06:17.000 But no, no, I would never consider that.
01:06:21.000 I would never consider that because.
01:06:24.000 I love this too much, you know?
01:06:28.000 Destiny won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self righteousness.
01:06:33.000 And I won't kill Destiny because he's just too much fun.
01:06:39.000 And I won't kill myself because I'm just having so much fun.
01:06:45.000 I was watching The Dark Knight the other day and I thought that just totally applies.
01:06:51.000 Although, I guess in that situation, Destiny's more like Joker.
01:06:56.000 You won't kill me out of some kind of misplaced sense of self righteousness.
01:07:01.000 And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun.
01:07:06.000 That's so, and that's so us.
01:07:08.000 That's so us, you know?
01:07:14.000 And I'm going to be hanging off the building and I'm going to be like, you wouldn't think, you don't think I would risk the battle for the soul of America.
01:07:28.000 In a debate with you, I had to have an ace in the hole.
01:07:33.000 Who's going to be my convert?
01:07:35.000 Is it going to be maybe Hassan Piker?
01:07:37.000 Maybe ultimately I'll convert Hassan.
01:07:41.000 You truly are incorruptible.
01:07:44.000 But maybe Hassan Piker is my ace in the hole.
01:07:48.000 I took your white knight and I brought him down to our level.
01:07:55.000 So.
01:08:00.000 Yeah, I could see that happening.
01:08:02.000 You know, that's very real.
01:08:03.000 I very much do relate to the Joker in that sense.
01:08:09.000 You know, I'm hanging off the building.
01:08:12.000 You know, Destiny is just, he's talking so fast.
01:08:16.000 He's just, he's calling me Slippery Nick.
01:08:21.000 You don't think I would risk losing the battle for the heart and soul of America in a debate with you?
01:08:32.000 I wouldn't debate with you, no.
01:08:35.000 I've got Hassan Piker.
01:08:39.000 Or Haz, or Infrared.
01:08:41.000 I've got the Sultan Haz.
01:08:46.000 Is it Haz?
01:08:47.000 Haz?
01:08:48.000 The Sultan Haz.
01:08:49.000 Maybe he'll be my ace in the hole.
01:08:50.000 I don't know.
01:08:51.000 Or maybe Vosh is Batman and Destiny is Harvey Dent.
01:08:54.000 I don't know.
01:08:56.000 Does that mean I have to kill Stephen Bonnell's girlfriend?
01:09:03.000 I don't want to have to do that, but, you know.
01:09:08.000 Maybe that's how destiny becomes a groyper out.
01:09:11.000 You know, I would never kill.
01:09:12.000 I would never kill.
01:09:13.000 I'm like Batman.
01:09:14.000 I don't kill, okay?
01:09:15.000 I don't kill.
01:09:15.000 It's against my moral code.
01:09:18.000 But, you know, hypothetically, what if, you know, you could only save one?
01:09:25.000 Well, then he can't be Batman and Harvey Dent at the same time.
01:09:29.000 That doesn't really work.
01:09:32.000 But I guess Destiny would be Harvey Dent because he's the one that's converted.
01:09:36.000 If I'm Joker, then Harvey Dent, it would be Destiny because he's the one that's going to come over to our side, you know?
01:09:44.000 It's about what's fair!
01:09:47.000 Maybe we frame some black guy.
01:09:49.000 Maybe we frame some trans person.
01:09:53.000 We mass report Destiny's Twitch channel and we blame it on some tranny, and then Destiny goes around killing trannies.
01:10:06.000 Yeah.
01:10:06.000 Tell your community that your Twitch channel isn't going to be suspended.
01:10:11.000 Lie to them like I had to lie.
01:10:17.000 So maybe he's the Harvey Dent character.
01:10:19.000 And yeah, I guess that's what it's going to be.
01:10:23.000 So yeah, he already was banned.
01:10:24.000 I know, I know, I know, I know he's already banned.
01:10:27.000 I know.
01:10:33.000 People are saying he doesn't know.
01:10:35.000 I know, dude, I saw it this morning.
01:10:43.000 But we don't know if he's perma banned or not.
01:10:46.000 Allegedly, they said it was a temporary ban, but it's not confirmed.
01:10:50.000 I love people, he doesn't know, Kak.
01:10:52.000 Yeah, I know you, retard.
01:10:57.000 But, yeah, but we're just trying to make it fit for the story, okay, you morons?
01:11:04.000 But, yeah, so truly, he's like this Harvey Dent figure.
01:11:09.000 He's coming to our side, man.
01:11:11.000 It's so inevitable.
01:11:12.000 And you know what's cute is their community thinks that, like, he's converting us.
01:11:18.000 How naive.
01:11:18.000 You know, his whole community is like, I think it's a good thing because Destiny's going to start converting Groypers.
01:11:25.000 Nigga, Groypers don't get converted.
01:11:27.000 We don't get converted.
01:11:33.000 No, no, no.
01:11:34.000 Being a reactionary is like gravity, all it takes is a little push.
01:11:39.000 Okay?
01:11:43.000 So I find that a little bit adorable.
01:11:45.000 They're like, Destiny's going to convert the Groypers.
01:11:50.000 Oh, you think?
01:11:51.000 No, no, no.
01:11:52.000 It is you that will be converted.
01:11:55.000 You will be converted.
01:11:57.000 No, no, no, no.
01:12:00.000 You're going to become a griper, actually.
01:12:03.000 Destiny's halfway there.
01:12:05.000 Pray.
01:12:05.000 Seriously, pray for Destiny's conversion to Christianity.
01:12:09.000 Pray for Destiny's conversion.
01:12:12.000 God wills it, and God wills it that Destiny will become a Christian and he will be converted to our cause and he will bring thousands.
01:12:22.000 He will bring thousands through the gates with him, through the gates of heaven and through the gates of the Groyper movement.
01:12:29.000 It's real.
01:12:31.000 And this will be a dramatic thing.
01:12:32.000 And when it happens, people are going to freak out and people are going to say it's inevitable.
01:12:37.000 It's just too late.
01:12:43.000 So all will be converted.
01:12:44.000 It's irresistible, nothing can stop it.
01:12:50.000 Someone says Molotov Ribbentrop Pact.
01:12:52.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:12:53.000 Molotov.
01:12:55.000 Hey, Destiny, Destiny, let's become best friends.
01:12:58.000 Hey, Destiny.
01:13:01.000 Yeah, Molotov Ribbentrop is right.
01:13:03.000 No, no, but I do like him.
01:13:06.000 I do like him.
01:13:07.000 And I would like to do a friendly stream with him.
01:13:09.000 And I'd like for him to maybe see things from our point of view.
01:13:18.000 You're going to break your one rule.
01:13:20.000 You're going to break your one rule.
01:13:25.000 You're going to become a Groyper.
01:13:35.000 But yeah, Harvey Dent.
01:13:37.000 I took Bread Tubes White Knight and I brought him down to our level.
01:13:42.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:46.000 That's going to be good to see.
01:13:47.000 It's going to be enjoyable when that happens.
01:13:49.000 But anyway, Pretty Fly White Guy says, hello, Nick.
01:13:56.000 It's day three of the streak.
01:13:57.000 I hope you know you're appreciated, friend.
01:13:59.000 Oh, thanks a lot, man.
01:14:02.000 I feel appreciated.
01:14:04.000 Cornelius says, hey, Nick.
01:14:05.000 Love the show.
01:14:06.000 Just wanted Question Will you ever bring back the 07 button?
01:14:09.000 Thanks and have a great night and God bless.
01:14:12.000 I don't have any plans to, but thanks.
01:14:17.000 Hidecaps says the people chose Barabbas over Jesus and people still believe in democracy.
01:14:24.000 What the?
01:14:25.000 I've never heard this, Tank.
01:14:26.000 This is groundbreaking.
01:14:27.000 Never heard.
01:14:28.000 What?
01:14:29.000 I've never heard that one before.
01:14:32.000 True, though.
01:14:32.000 Excuse me.
01:14:33.000 It's true.
01:14:34.000 I have the hiccups right now.
01:14:37.000 Antichrist disrespector says Madeleine Albright is finally dead.
01:14:41.000 The murderous Jewish witch sanctioned half a million kids to death in Iraq and said it was worth it.
01:14:47.000 Hope she feels like burning in hell right now is worth it.
01:14:49.000 Hell is for every turkey neck goblin looking bitch.
01:14:53.000 Press P to poo and pee on this wicked woman's grave.
01:14:55.000 Yeah, press P. True, true.
01:14:58.000 She's a murderer.
01:15:00.000 Talk about a war criminal.
01:15:02.000 Melon Buster says it's my birthday today.
01:15:05.000 23 years old.
01:15:06.000 Been trusting the plan for four years.
01:15:08.000 You're awesome.
01:15:09.000 God bless you, brother.
01:15:10.000 Hey, thank you, man.
01:15:11.000 God bless you too.
01:15:12.000 Happy birthday.
01:15:13.000 Can we get an H in chat for happy birthday?
01:15:16.000 Can we get some H's in chat for happy birthday?
01:15:19.000 Happy birthday, friend.
01:15:21.000 Hope it's a good one.
01:15:22.000 I hope you're enjoying that.
01:15:27.000 Four years.
01:15:28.000 Has it really been four years?
01:15:32.000 Time flies when you're having fun.
01:15:38.000 So, big shout out.
01:15:39.000 Thanks a lot, man.
01:15:40.000 Thanks for supporting the show for so long.
01:15:42.000 Happy birthday.
01:15:43.000 23.
01:15:44.000 I'm going to be 24 this year.
01:15:45.000 Can you believe it?
01:15:46.000 24.
01:15:48.000 And then I'll be 25.
01:15:50.000 When I turn 25, I'm going to really lose my mind, man.
01:15:53.000 25?
01:15:54.000 Are you kidding me?
01:15:55.000 I'm going to be 30 soon.
01:15:57.000 I'm going to be 30 years old.
01:15:59.000 I might as well be dead.
01:16:02.000 I mean, God willing, I make it to 30, but geez, I'm going to be 30 years old.
01:16:05.000 I want to be 17, man.
01:16:08.000 I want to be 17 again.
01:16:09.000 I don't want to grow up.
01:16:11.000 I want to be a baby.
01:16:13.000 Man, I want to be like Goo Goo Gaga, nigga.
01:16:17.000 I'm going to be 30 years old.
01:16:19.000 I'm a kid.
01:16:20.000 I feel like a kid.
01:16:22.000 I'm childlike, childlike creativity.
01:16:26.000 And I'm boyish.
01:16:28.000 My boyish mischief and charm and charisma and good looks and my poofy, thick head of hair.
01:16:35.000 And I can't turn 30.
01:16:38.000 I'm young.
01:16:38.000 I'm so young.
01:16:40.000 I have so much time.
01:16:43.000 But I'm just.
01:16:45.000 Every day I get closer, and one of these days I'm gonna have to marry some woman and get kids and all that.
01:16:52.000 And then I'm gonna be dead, and then you know what?
01:16:55.000 I'm gonna be dead, and then this soul will leave this body, and I'll just be this lifeless pile of bones.
01:17:04.000 Now, you know, hopefully I'll be in heaven, and that'll be great, I guess.
01:17:10.000 But you know, I kind of like what I got going on here.
01:17:12.000 I mean, I got pretty lucky.
01:17:14.000 I mean, I'm like a genius.
01:17:15.000 I mean, I wish I could just be a genius all the time here, but you know.
01:17:20.000 Hopefully, I'm still me in heaven.
01:17:20.000 I don't know.
01:17:22.000 I'm a little bit afraid.
01:17:23.000 I hope that when we go to heaven, we don't just become one.
01:17:26.000 You know, I don't want to be one with you niggas.
01:17:28.000 I want to be me.
01:17:30.000 I want to be individuated.
01:17:31.000 I want to be Nicholas in heaven too, you know?
01:17:36.000 And with my perfected body.
01:17:38.000 And, you know, so I don't know.
01:17:40.000 I mean, I trust God's plan.
01:17:42.000 I have faith that it's going to be all right, but I worry.
01:17:45.000 I'm a human being, you know?
01:17:47.000 And I want to retain myself.
01:17:50.000 That's my biggest fear is that we die and then we just get, you know, crammed together like a ball of Play Doh.
01:17:57.000 And then you don't know where I begin and where I begin and end.
01:18:06.000 So So it's scary.
01:18:16.000 It's a scary prospect.
01:18:18.000 People are saying I'm drunk.
01:18:20.000 I'm not.
01:18:20.000 You know what?
01:18:21.000 I absolutely hate the live chat.
01:18:24.000 I am not drunk.
01:18:25.000 I've never had a sip of alcohol in my life.
01:18:25.000 Okay.
01:18:28.000 Drunk ass Nick.
01:18:30.000 Nick is drunk.
01:18:31.000 Why don't you shut up, Snead Groyper, huh?
01:18:38.000 Live chat is shackled thinking.
01:18:40.000 I'm a free thinker, and live chat is always trying to.
01:18:43.000 It's always with this, like, You know, that's why I need to move away from all human beings because honestly, you're just corrupting my genius.
01:18:53.000 My light shines too bright and it blinds you, is really what's happening.
01:18:58.000 And I get all these human flies, like mosquitoes, pestering me.
01:19:03.000 Oh, that hot dog looks like shit.
01:19:06.000 That slinger that you ate, that looks like poo.
01:19:09.000 You're drunk.
01:19:10.000 This and that.
01:19:11.000 You know, it's like this is why.
01:19:14.000 This is why God flooded the world because of people like you, okay?
01:19:20.000 The other day, I was thinking the end of the world is going to be terrible.
01:19:23.000 No, it's going to be awesome because at least you'll all be killed.
01:19:27.000 At least all of you will be murdered by God.
01:19:31.000 At the minimum, we have that to look forward to.
01:19:35.000 I hope this is the last century.
01:19:39.000 But anyway, what was I saying about the Human Instrumentality Project or democracy or something?
01:19:46.000 Oh, no, was it the birthday thing?
01:19:49.000 Yeah, I'm going to be 24.
01:19:51.000 I'm going to be 24.
01:19:55.000 I don't want to be 24, man.
01:19:57.000 I want to be young.
01:20:01.000 But, you know, we all grow old and then we all die.
01:20:05.000 And that's that.
01:20:09.000 But anyway, so on that note, happy birthday.
01:20:12.000 Hope it's a good one.
01:20:14.000 Cameron says, hey, Nick, if you read The Rational Mail, you and him would agree a lot, mainly on simping.
01:20:19.000 No, I've never read that.
01:20:21.000 Spence says, is there an unwritten rule about other guys streaming while AF is on?
01:20:26.000 Is it cool to watch?
01:20:27.000 Jaden plays GeoGuesser and then watch the AF replay in the afternoon.
01:20:34.000 I mean, I've never made that a rule or anything.
01:20:38.000 You know, normally people don't do that, but I don't know.
01:20:41.000 I guess people are doing that now.
01:20:42.000 It is what it is.
01:20:44.000 Kill Animals says, I stuck up for the super chatters and paid the price.
01:20:48.000 I was just another useful idiot for the revolution.
01:20:51.000 A proletarian now declared enemy of the show and sends to shadow ban by the man I fear, Nicholas Stalin.
01:20:57.000 Please show mercy to this old fool.
01:21:02.000 I'll be merciful.
01:21:03.000 Kill animals.
01:21:04.000 I mean, one of our favorites, of course.
01:21:06.000 But you're attacking me the other day.
01:21:08.000 You're way out of line.
01:21:10.000 Attacking me yesterday for crying out loud.
01:21:14.000 But the Stalin comparison is favorable.
01:21:18.000 Majorian says the Russians control an area of the Ukraine the size of the UK.
01:21:23.000 They took that territory in 25 days.
01:21:25.000 Yeah, I know.
01:21:26.000 It's impressive.
01:21:27.000 Esoteric Bro says Hi, Nick.
01:21:29.000 European civilization is dying.
01:21:31.000 Birth rates and free fall, rampant immigration.
01:21:33.000 Shouldn't you encourage your followers?
01:21:36.000 Concern trolling faggot.
01:21:36.000 Here we go.
01:21:38.000 Shouldn't you encourage your followers to procreate rather than this asexual stuff?
01:21:42.000 I'd say that point me to where I've ever encouraged people to not have kids.
01:21:46.000 It just isn't there.
01:21:49.000 Listen, thankfully, by the grace of God, I'm not like you people.
01:21:54.000 And so I encourage you to do one thing.
01:21:56.000 And I say that for me, it's just a little bit different, okay?
01:21:59.000 Because when you're a special genius given gifts by God, it's just a little bit more complicated.
01:22:05.000 So I've always said to my audience, You should absolutely get married young and have lots of kids.
01:22:12.000 I mean, I'd like to get married and have kids, but I just don't really know if that's in the cards for me because I'm just kind of like so misunderstood and just basically too high frequency for anyone to understand or deal with.
01:22:12.000 And you know what?
01:22:28.000 I'm basically just on another plane.
01:22:31.000 And so you have to understand that I am advocating for people to have kids and I want kids myself, but, you know, as one of God's chosen people in a certain sense, As someone that was given just these gifts beyond your comprehension by the Lord, you know, maybe God has elected me to do something better than to just simp for girls.
01:22:56.000 That's good enough for all of you, I guess.
01:23:00.000 I mean, God created all of you guys to, like, I don't know, dig tunnels or something and simp for girls.
01:23:08.000 But for me, you know, maybe God had something else in mind.
01:23:11.000 He said, you know what, my son, go forward.
01:23:15.000 Win the war, win the battle.
01:23:18.000 Do it for me, okay?
01:23:20.000 Do it for me.
01:23:21.000 And I'm like, you know what?
01:23:23.000 I'm God.
01:23:25.000 And if God gives me a wife, if God, and you know what?
01:23:28.000 If God gives me a wife, then I will put a baby in my wife.
01:23:34.000 If God puts a wife in front of me, I will marry her, I will put babies in her, and I'll be the best husband ever.
01:23:42.000 And maybe that will happen, and maybe it won't.
01:23:45.000 But all of you should try your hardest.
01:23:47.000 You know, you should make it happen.
01:23:49.000 I've always said that.
01:23:50.000 So you're a little lying snake, all right?
01:23:52.000 You're a little synagogue of Satan lying rat, okay?
01:23:56.000 You lie.
01:23:57.000 I always encourage my Aryan supporters to have lots of white kids all the time.
01:24:03.000 I say that they should be fruitful and multiplying our ranks of white racial soldiers.
01:24:10.000 Every night I say that.
01:24:11.000 How dare you suggest otherwise?
01:24:14.000 I've only said that, you know, me, I was in a real sense by the gifts of.
01:24:19.000 Given to me, appointed for maybe something greater than, you know, having some surrogate mom girlfriend pat my head and give me sweet kisses.
01:24:29.000 You know, I'm destined for a life of hardship and struggle and misery and pain and torture and martyrdom.
01:24:37.000 And I've accepted that.
01:24:38.000 I'm, you know, maybe I'm just better than you, but you lie.
01:24:42.000 You lie.
01:24:43.000 You lie.
01:24:44.000 I always encourage my followers to have heterosexual vaginal sex with women.
01:24:52.000 For the purpose of insemination, so that we can be fruitful and multiply.
01:24:59.000 I have always advocated that.
01:25:01.000 How dare you?
01:25:05.000 I have always advocated this.
01:25:07.000 Kai clips as he lies still.
01:25:09.000 I just said, hey, oh, I just said it's not the most important thing.
01:25:14.000 That's all.
01:25:15.000 I just said there's another way to think about it.
01:25:18.000 Once again, I am being attacked for presenting new ideas.
01:25:21.000 I'm always being attacked.
01:25:24.000 And that's just because I think differently.
01:25:26.000 I think differently, you faggot.
01:25:26.000 I'm like Apple.
01:25:29.000 I'm like Apple.
01:25:30.000 I think differently.
01:25:32.000 You are a shackled thinking Microsoft Jewish freak, okay?
01:25:38.000 And you lie about my position.
01:25:40.000 I have always advocated for hardcore husband and wife heterosexual penile intercourse for the purpose of insemination.
01:25:49.000 I've always said that that's my position.
01:25:52.000 And, you know, I've just said that, you know, I'm higher frequency than that.
01:25:58.000 I'm maybe closer to the angels than I am to the people.
01:26:04.000 And, you know, I have more intellect, more of an intellect based organism than a sort of testicle based organism.
01:26:12.000 It's not to say I don't have big testicles, which I do, but it is to say that, you know, I may be of a higher, you know, like I said, I'm sort of on this higher frequency.
01:26:21.000 You're sort of low frequency, you know, you're like basically eating slop in a trough and you're, you know, humping whatever.
01:26:30.000 And me, I'm like the farmer, you know.
01:26:34.000 You're a little piggy eating apple cores and banana peels in the trough, rolling around in the mud, and doing all of that.
01:26:44.000 Me, on the other hand, I'm sitting at the dinner table eating bacon.
01:26:50.000 So, what do you think about that?
01:26:55.000 Anyway.
01:26:56.000 So, I mean, anyway.
01:27:00.000 You lie.
01:27:01.000 You lie still.
01:27:05.000 Um.
01:27:06.000 So you're wrong.
01:27:08.000 You're wrong, esoteric bro.
01:27:09.000 Hi, Nick.
01:27:11.000 I like the preamble.
01:27:12.000 European civilization is dying.
01:27:14.000 Really?
01:27:15.000 Shouldn't you encourage?
01:27:17.000 Shouldn't you?
01:27:18.000 Shouldn't you?
01:27:20.000 Shouldn't you shut up?
01:27:22.000 Shouldn't I fucking punch you?
01:27:24.000 Huh?
01:27:28.000 Shouldn't I throw an elbow into your nose?
01:27:33.000 Giant target, by the way.
01:27:34.000 Shouldn't I throw an elbow into your nose?
01:27:45.000 Huh?
01:27:46.000 Shouldn't I beat your ass for lying?
01:27:48.000 I hate the concern trolls.
01:27:50.000 Shouldn't you be doing this?
01:27:52.000 Shouldn't you?
01:27:53.000 Why don't you shut up, huh?
01:27:55.000 Why don't you shut up?
01:27:57.000 Shut up.
01:28:01.000 $3 super chat.
01:28:04.000 I'll freaking hit you with a sledgehammer.
01:28:10.000 $3 super chat.
01:28:11.000 Anyway.
01:28:13.000 Piano Punk says Trump withdrew his endorsement of Mo Brooks today.
01:28:16.000 He wouldn't be.
01:28:18.000 He would be by far and away the best senator if he got in.
01:28:21.000 Why is Trump being a fat orange George Bush?
01:28:25.000 Mo Brooks stopped talking about election fraud and said that it was fake, is what my understanding of it.
01:28:31.000 So I think it's legitimate.
01:28:32.000 But the endorsements are terrible, that notwithstanding.
01:28:37.000 Donald Trump says, I think social media is the reason for short term memory, but the rise of TikTok is a massive accelerator.
01:28:43.000 15 second clips with useless info is for sure reducing retention for understanding larger concepts.
01:28:49.000 Yeah, I absolutely agree with that.
01:28:51.000 Absolutely agree.
01:28:52.000 TikTok is like, I mean, talk about poison.
01:28:56.000 People used to complain that TV rots your brain.
01:28:59.000 Compare like an episode of Drake and Josh to TikTok.
01:29:03.000 And people said like Nickelodeon was rotting people's brains.
01:29:07.000 And look at how bad TikTok is it's like a weapon of mass destruction.
01:29:13.000 Eddie Van Gramps' favorite Scorsese movie.
01:29:17.000 Ooh, that's a good question.
01:29:20.000 Um,.
01:29:22.000 Probably, um, hmm.
01:29:28.000 Probably either Goodfellas or Casino.
01:29:31.000 I mean, Goodfellas is just like a perfect movie.
01:29:35.000 Uh, Casino's like maybe a little bit more stylish.
01:29:39.000 Um, but I love them both.
01:29:41.000 You can't lose.
01:29:42.000 You get Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese in both.
01:29:48.000 You can't lose.
01:29:49.000 And of course, Goodfellas is just a perfect movie, perfect mob film.
01:29:55.000 Um, I like Goodfellas better than The Godfather.
01:29:58.000 Some people say that's controversial, but I mean, I like Goodfellas more.
01:30:04.000 I probably would say Godfather 2 is like the better movie, but I mean, I would prefer to watch Goodfellas.
01:30:11.000 And Casino is just a little too long, I guess.
01:30:16.000 And it's a little bit the narration, I think, is a little bit weak.
01:30:20.000 I think that's a weak way to move the story along, all the narration.
01:30:23.000 I think it's kind of cheap.
01:30:27.000 And it's also not really a mob movie.
01:30:28.000 You know, Casino is, it has the same kind of like pace as Goodfellas.
01:30:33.000 And it is some, I mean, it's technically about the mob, but it's really more about Ace Rothstein and his wife.
01:30:41.000 You know, it's really, it's kind of like a dramatic movie within a mob setting, you know.
01:30:51.000 But it's really about the relationship between, who is that, Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro, than it is about, um, I mean, it is obviously about Las Vegas, but it's also, but I think the real focus is on the relationship.
01:31:04.000 But I think they're both fine movies.
01:31:06.000 Those would be my two favorites, probably.
01:31:11.000 Oh, and Taxi.
01:31:12.000 Oh, yeah, Taxi Driver, of course.
01:31:13.000 Yeah, I totally forgot about Taxi Driver.
01:31:16.000 Yeah, that would be up there for sure.
01:31:19.000 Yeah, I would, I'd probably say Taxi Driver.
01:31:25.000 I think that would be my favorite, actually.
01:31:27.000 I totally forgot because that's much earlier.
01:31:30.000 But yeah, I agree.
01:31:32.000 Yeah, taxi driver's probably the best.
01:31:37.000 And that was before Robert De Niro.
01:31:38.000 That was, if I recall, it's like his first big picture, right?
01:31:43.000 But I mean, Scorsese and De Niro, great pairing.
01:31:45.000 They're in what?
01:31:47.000 Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Casino, Goodfellas.
01:31:55.000 They're in, what is it?
01:31:59.000 The new one, The Irishman.
01:32:01.000 Was King of Comedy?
01:32:02.000 Was that Scorsese?
01:32:06.000 I don't remember, but yeah, yeah, Taxi Driver.
01:32:10.000 That's a good one.
01:32:12.000 Raging Bull, also good, but I don't like the black and white, and it's like more boxing deal.
01:32:17.000 Mean Streets, yeah.
01:32:22.000 Anyway.
01:32:23.000 Humongous Blungus is what's your take on rural life?
01:32:26.000 City slickers are looking mad goofy right now, and I'm not willing to be held up by vax, mask mandates, or minority criminals just so I can have lay city experience.
01:32:35.000 Well, I mean, you say lay, I mean, it's like, how old does that mean?
01:32:41.000 I hate rural life.
01:32:42.000 I would never want to live in a rural area.
01:32:44.000 You just, I mean, you just don't get it.
01:32:46.000 I mean,.
01:32:48.000 These rural people, we all have to sort of suffer their, you know, oh, city slicker, oh, we were helping out by a Negro and all this kind of stuff.
01:33:00.000 It's like just, you just have to roll your eyes at this kind of stuff, this sort of Philistinism, you know.
01:33:10.000 Listen, to each their own, but I'm not from the farms.
01:33:14.000 I will never live on a farm.
01:33:16.000 It's just not, that's just not my way of life, okay?
01:33:19.000 I have a lot of respect for farmers.
01:33:21.000 We need farmers, but I am not a farmer.
01:33:25.000 I was born in the suburbs of Chicago, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
01:33:30.000 You know, when these farmers get to the city and they're totally disoriented, you know, they don't know how to drive, they don't know how to do anything, you know.
01:33:39.000 They don't know because, like, in a city, you have to actually develop.
01:33:42.000 There's different skill sets, of course.
01:33:44.000 You know, farmers develop strength because they do manual labor and, you know, they're punctual and they wake up on time.
01:33:51.000 And, you know, there's a lot that goes with being a farmer, but.
01:33:53.000 It's a different skill set.
01:33:54.000 And the city, and the city got to be a little quicker, a little bit of a quicker tempo.
01:33:59.000 Okay, we talk faster.
01:34:01.000 We think faster.
01:34:02.000 We work faster.
01:34:03.000 We're alert.
01:34:04.000 We're aware.
01:34:05.000 We're aware of our surroundings.
01:34:06.000 We know everybody.
01:34:07.000 We know how things work.
01:34:09.000 We know how to drive.
01:34:10.000 We know how to drive fast, five lane highway, how to drive in a congested city.
01:34:15.000 Okay?
01:34:17.000 And, you know, we're cultured.
01:34:19.000 And it just happens also that we are cultured, too.
01:34:22.000 You know, there's real cultural output happening in the city as well.
01:34:26.000 And, you know, people, all this stuff, all the anti city stuff is just a giant cope.
01:34:31.000 And we all tolerate it for the same reason we tolerate, like, black people complaining.
01:34:35.000 It's like, because it's just not even fair.
01:34:38.000 It's sort of like punching down when you really get into an argument with the rural people.
01:34:46.000 You know, the rural people are at it again.
01:34:48.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:34:49.000 Okay, Farmer Brown.
01:34:50.000 Yeah, all right, all right, Cletus.
01:34:53.000 All right, all right, Mary Sue and, you know, Joe Bob and all that.
01:35:02.000 Here we go.
01:35:03.000 Oh, blacks robbing old fag flags, dog.
01:35:07.000 Oh, yeah.
01:35:07.000 Cope, cope, cope, cope.
01:35:09.000 Major cope.
01:35:12.000 Major cope.
01:35:17.000 I mean, it is what it is.
01:35:19.000 The cities have always been the center of civilization.
01:35:21.000 You know, when we think about Rome, we think about the Roman countryside, or do we think of Rome?
01:35:26.000 You know, we think of the Roman Empire.
01:35:29.000 Are we thinking about, oh, remember all those farmers?
01:35:32.000 Or do you remember Rome?
01:35:33.000 Do you remember the Colosseum?
01:35:35.000 And you remember what happened in Rome, in the city.
01:35:42.000 And the same goes for all of it.
01:35:44.000 Same goes for any great empire, any great civilization.
01:35:47.000 The cities are the beating heart.
01:35:51.000 That's the seat of the government.
01:35:52.000 That's the seat of the power, of the merchants, the finance, the art, all of it.
01:36:01.000 I mean, think about where did our greatest president come from?
01:36:04.000 New York.
01:36:05.000 New York.
01:36:06.000 Donald Trump, you know, Donald Trump was a city guy.
01:36:09.000 He was in the biggest city.
01:36:12.000 He's from New York.
01:36:15.000 And you look at like FDR, you look at any of them, they're all big city guys.
01:36:22.000 And then you look at our cringiest presidents like Harry Truman.
01:36:27.000 Harry Truman or Ronald Reagan.
01:36:30.000 Ronald Reagan from the middle of nowhere in Illinois.
01:36:32.000 Harry Truman from Missouri.
01:36:34.000 And Harry Truman gave us Israel and NATO expansion.
01:36:41.000 And Reagan, you know, we all know what that was all about.
01:36:45.000 And Bill Clinton from Arkansas.
01:36:49.000 And the city gave us FDR and Trump and JFK.
01:36:57.000 And yeah, so when you look at these old videos of the cities like that, when we think about what America used to be, I don't think anybody looks at a farm from the 19th century.
01:37:08.000 People look at like 1940s New York.
01:37:11.000 People look at like 1920s LA.
01:37:14.000 They look at 1920s Detroit, Chicago.
01:37:16.000 They're not like, wow, gee, look at this farm.
01:37:19.000 Look at this 19th century farm.
01:37:22.000 You know, they're like, wow, look at the Empire State Building.
01:37:26.000 Look, you know, that's what they talk about.
01:37:27.000 They're like, wow, look at the Chrysler building.
01:37:29.000 Look at this kind of stuff, you know?
01:37:33.000 So the farmer thing, the farmer thing is such a cope.
01:37:36.000 I'm sick and tired of these rural people.
01:37:39.000 It's like, it's enough already.
01:37:41.000 It's enough already, okay?
01:37:43.000 You know, these rural people, they have such a chip on their shoulders.
01:37:46.000 Supposedly, it's the best place ever, but you know, they always have to talk about it, right?
01:37:53.000 I never have to, I never talk about, hey, rural people, what's your feelings on city slickers?
01:37:58.000 You want to know why?
01:38:00.000 We don't care.
01:38:03.000 You know, all these rural people, hey, Nick, what do y'all think of us, rural folk, huh?
01:38:08.000 I mean, we're way better than y'all.
01:38:09.000 And it's like, we don't care.
01:38:13.000 Nigga, we don't care.
01:38:15.000 We don't care.
01:38:23.000 So, it's all these rural people.
01:38:28.000 You go to these rural places and they don't have anything going on.
01:38:33.000 You know, we were in Michigan.
01:38:34.000 There's not one good restaurant at all.
01:38:37.000 Not one.
01:38:38.000 They didn't have one good restaurant in all of Lansing.
01:38:41.000 And I've been all over.
01:38:42.000 I've been to the country in Georgia, in Alabama, in.
01:38:48.000 Kentucky and Illinois and Iowa and Missouri and Indiana and Michigan and Wisconsin and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, you name it.
01:39:00.000 I mean, I've been around.
01:39:04.000 And there's like no good restaurants and everything looks like a strip mall.
01:39:09.000 You know, all these world cities are just the same.
01:39:13.000 They have like a one major drag with like a Walmart and like a car dealership and a freaking.
01:39:20.000 Cracker Barrel, and they have a, you know, the gas stations, and even in these Midwestern cities, they'll have like one little, like, downtown, and then the downtown's totally gay.
01:39:35.000 So, you know, it's almost you get the worst of both worlds.
01:39:40.000 All these farmers, they have like uptown, and in every one of these uptowns, it's still liberal.
01:39:45.000 Like Birmingham, Alabama, you still have like faggots.
01:39:49.000 You still have.
01:39:50.000 Black crime, you know?
01:39:52.000 And you go to even these smaller towns, and guess what?
01:39:55.000 You still have trendy faggots.
01:39:56.000 You go to the campus, college town, still have trendy faggots.
01:40:00.000 It's like, so you just get the trendy faggots in uptown without anything good at all, without architecture, art, music, resources, good food, you know?
01:40:16.000 So, I mean, I hate to say it, but I mean, that's just the reality.
01:40:20.000 So.
01:40:23.000 I mean, I went to Beardson's little town, and Beardson, he lives in like, he doesn't live in any, he doesn't live near a major city, but he's got a little town, and the town is totally liberal, and the people in it are totally goofy.
01:40:38.000 So, and I went to Auburn, you know, because I was thinking about going to school there, and same thing, it was a little liberal campus town or college town.
01:40:48.000 And I went to Birmingham, liberal.
01:40:50.000 And I went to Atlanta, liberal and very black.
01:40:53.000 And I've been to, you know, I've been all over.
01:40:55.000 And it's the same story.
01:40:56.000 Even in these small, small towns, you still have like the yuppie, you know, LGBT crowd opens up a coffee shop.
01:41:03.000 We all know it in one of those old industrial buildings where they used to make fucking missiles for the war or whatever.
01:41:09.000 And they set up a faggy little coffee shop and they hold their gay club meetings there.
01:41:14.000 And we all know it.
01:41:15.000 So, you know, these rural people, it's like, yeah, you have a gun store and yeah, you got the tractor store and all that.
01:41:23.000 But then you also have a trendy little hipster downtown.
01:41:34.000 So, yes, I don't really want to hear it.
01:41:40.000 And the cities have great people.
01:41:42.000 The cities have these old neighborhoods.
01:41:44.000 They have these old neighborhood people.
01:41:45.000 And this is where you get real neighborhood guys, you know?
01:41:50.000 And they all grew up together and they're in the trades.
01:41:53.000 And this is where you get these real, you know?
01:41:56.000 So it's not like you don't find conservatives in big cities.
01:42:00.000 You'll find very conservative people in the big cities and very good people and real salt of the earth, working class city people.
01:42:09.000 And it's great.
01:42:11.000 And it's like it's this whole ecosystem, and there's so much going on.
01:42:16.000 And I love it.
01:42:18.000 I can't imagine living anywhere but the city.
01:42:21.000 I love the city.
01:42:25.000 So, anti city people are just coping, you know.
01:42:30.000 But, you know, to each their own, you can live in the farm, and we'll live in the city.
01:42:36.000 You know, more for us.
01:42:37.000 More for us.
01:42:38.000 It's always these complaints where it's like, it really is just a big cope.
01:42:43.000 It's like, You know, oh, you live in the city?
01:42:47.000 Oh, well, the most real.
01:42:47.000 It's like I've lived around here my entire life and I've never been in danger.
01:42:53.000 I've never been threatened by criminals.
01:42:56.000 And, you know, some of those conservative people I've met, I've met in the city.
01:43:01.000 Then you meet these people from the South and they're more liberal than the people in the city.
01:43:05.000 All the reactionaries live in the city.
01:43:07.000 Then you get these people from like Southern Illinois and they're like the Zionist neocon.
01:43:13.000 They support like fucking Paul Ryan and stuff.
01:43:24.000 So But yeah, you know, people want to be in the country.
01:43:35.000 Hey, that's your prerogative.
01:43:36.000 That's your prerogative.
01:43:37.000 Somebody's got to live there.
01:43:38.000 Somebody's got to live out there in Missouri.
01:43:40.000 I don't know how they do it.
01:43:42.000 I don't know how they do it.
01:43:43.000 It's too boring.
01:43:44.000 You know, it's too, it's too like boring.
01:43:46.000 You know, there's like nothing going on.
01:43:48.000 You go out to these rural areas and it's like yawn, you know?
01:43:53.000 You can't get a decent meal.
01:43:55.000 And, you know, I like to go out at midnight and get a burger and I like to drive around.
01:44:02.000 I like to see the Streetlights and I like to drive by the lake and I like to look at the tall buildings and marvel at the white achievement.
01:44:09.000 I love to look at giant skyscrapers and say, Wow, what a symbol of our great civilization!
01:44:17.000 You know, I love to marvel at and they're just there, you know, they're just there to look at.
01:44:22.000 And I just love to marvel at white achievement, you know, American achievement.
01:44:27.000 And I love to drive around and the city's alive and like to blast the music and go by the riverfront and go by the lakefront.
01:44:39.000 And, you know, it's just a magical thing.
01:44:41.000 I mean, the farm stuff is just like, it's too boring and not much going on.
01:44:48.000 So, you know, what do they even do there?
01:44:51.000 Tip cows over and stuff, and they don't have good internet, and I don't even know what I would do.
01:44:59.000 But we love our farmers.
01:45:01.000 We love our farmers.
01:45:02.000 We love our rural people, and they're very quaint seething over the city.
01:45:08.000 You know, that's the thing city people don't think about.
01:45:11.000 They don't think about the rural.
01:45:13.000 You know, the rural people, they hate the city people.
01:45:16.000 Oh, you're a city slicker, huh?
01:45:18.000 It's like city people were like, oh, is something going on over there?
01:45:23.000 It's too busy being awesome over here.
01:45:26.000 So, anyway.
01:45:32.000 City slickers are looking mad goofy right now.
01:45:35.000 You sound pretty goofy.
01:45:35.000 Oh, really?
01:45:38.000 Humongous blungus as Russia announced a year ago that they would clone.
01:45:42.000 Scythian soldiers.
01:45:43.000 Meanwhile, STEM in this country is slowly becoming a meme.
01:45:47.000 Colleges are starting to turn science into a social justice struggle.
01:45:51.000 Hot, is this the rural take?
01:45:54.000 I guess the memes get to the country like 10 years late because he's saying, he says lay city experience.
01:46:00.000 So I guess the memes are getting there like three or four years late.
01:46:04.000 And I guess the information is too.
01:46:06.000 Colleges are social justice?
01:46:09.000 Groundbreaking take.
01:46:10.000 You know, here in the city, we heard about that back in 2014, but maybe it's just getting there.
01:46:17.000 So, yeah, you know, you're going to start hearing about like this Milo and Ben Shapiro thing.
01:46:22.000 You're going to love it.
01:46:24.000 And then you're going to hear about Donald Trump.
01:46:26.000 Now, you're really going to get excited about that.
01:46:28.000 I can't wait for you guys to find out about Donald Trump.
01:46:31.000 It's going to blow you away, really.
01:46:34.000 I guess it just takes a little bit longer to get over there.
01:46:34.000 But I don't know.
01:46:39.000 But trust me, you're going to like it.
01:46:42.000 Black Royper says there were always vax mandates.
01:46:45.000 Okay, retard.
01:46:46.000 I don't remember a wage scanning people's phones to go into McDonald's.
01:46:49.000 I hope.
01:46:50.000 VAIDS is real.
01:46:51.000 I'm not going to feel sorry for these people.
01:46:53.000 Yeah, I know.
01:46:54.000 They always say that.
01:46:55.000 Like, we always had vax mandates.
01:46:57.000 It's like, no, we didn't.
01:46:59.000 Like, we absolutely did not.
01:47:01.000 I lived my entire life without that happening.
01:47:04.000 And now they try to make it out like this is the most normal thing ever.
01:47:08.000 It definitely isn't.
01:47:10.000 Tyler says Nick, your hair looks epic tonight.
01:47:13.000 It actually sort of reminds me of Trump's hair in his younger years.
01:47:16.000 Remember the early days of AF when you used to lather in product and slick it back?
01:47:23.000 I definitely never lathered it in and slicked it back.
01:47:27.000 Okay, I don't think that ever happened.
01:47:29.000 That sounds like something my mom would say.
01:47:31.000 I definitely never lathered in product and slicked it back.
01:47:36.000 That was never happening.
01:47:37.000 I used to put a little bit of pomade in my hair and I used to comb it a little bit more neatly.
01:47:44.000 But I was never lathering in the product and slicking it back.
01:47:47.000 I don't know what you're talking about there.
01:47:53.000 But I am going to get a haircut.
01:47:54.000 I got to clean it up a little bit.
01:47:58.000 Fucking people, man, I swear.
01:48:03.000 Let's see.
01:48:05.000 Birdie with a big super chat.
01:48:07.000 Thank you so much.
01:48:08.000 Says, thank you for being a man of integrity and honor, giving courage and strength to kings all over the USA.
01:48:14.000 I want to give your mom and dad a shout out.
01:48:16.000 We love them and thank them for what they have done for this great nation.
01:48:19.000 If there are Groypers in Ohio, gubernatorial candidate Joe Blystone could use a hand in his primary versus the establishment.
01:48:26.000 XOXO Birdie Bird.
01:48:28.000 Well, hey, thank you so much for the big super chat.
01:48:30.000 I appreciate it.
01:48:33.000 07s.
01:48:34.000 And thanks for the shout out to my parents.
01:48:36.000 I don't think they're awake right now, but I'm sure they appreciate that.
01:48:41.000 Majorian says the BBC's Russian office can only confirm 557 Russian deads in the war.
01:48:48.000 You can't hide 10,000 deads.
01:48:50.000 Well, yeah, as of March 2nd, I believe they said there were that many.
01:48:57.000 And that's from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
01:48:59.000 But we don't have any new numbers.
01:49:01.000 Crustin says Hi, Nick.
01:49:02.000 I'm a first time viewer coming from TikTok.
01:49:05.000 It's been a very good time.
01:49:06.000 Enjoyed the stream.
01:49:07.000 By the way, have you played Elden Ring yet?
01:49:09.000 Well, hey, welcome aboard.
01:49:11.000 No, I've never played those games.
01:49:13.000 I'm not good at video games.
01:49:16.000 Okay, I'm just not good at them.
01:49:18.000 So that just seems like it would be horrible, a horrible experience.
01:49:22.000 I'm not good at easy video games, let alone hard video games.
01:49:26.000 So, no, I mean, maybe I'll try it just for fun, but I don't think I'll have fun.
01:49:33.000 Kevin Bro with the big super chats.
01:49:35.000 Has the State Department learned their lesson since the 113th Congress?
01:49:39.000 If you recall, they demonized Syria after the chemical attacks to pressure a floor vote for an authorization of force.
01:49:46.000 We didn't bite the red line bait, and the tragedy propaganda was laid on real thick, but not enough to pass committee consideration.
01:49:53.000 Yeah, I brought that up earlier.
01:49:55.000 It's the same story as 2013, all over again.
01:49:58.000 Same deal.
01:50:00.000 They wanted the war in Syria, they drew the red line, Assad used the chemical weapons, and yeah, you're right, then they didn't take the bait.
01:50:08.000 But they learned their lesson.
01:50:10.000 But thanks for the big super chat, man.
01:50:12.000 Love you, Kevin, bro.
01:50:14.000 Kai says, Destiny be like, problem, nigga?
01:50:17.000 Yeah, he's funny.
01:50:18.000 You know, he's saying the N word.
01:50:20.000 He says he hates women.
01:50:22.000 You know, he's starting to sound more and more like me.
01:50:25.000 I mean, I hate to say that, but some of the things he says, I'm like, whoa.
01:50:30.000 I would have said that on my show, America First.
01:50:34.000 Pietro says, if you're Sheeve Fuentes, when you're talking to General Jaden about your new, stronger, more powerful apprentice, will you tell him that Count Casey's death was a necessary loss?
01:50:47.000 Yeah, thank you for that.
01:50:49.000 I appreciate that.
01:50:51.000 Kai says, debated drug addicted leftists on stream with Haas yesterday.
01:50:56.000 Such unlikely friendships being struck over the Ukraine Russia issue.
01:51:00.000 Yeah, I heard about that.
01:51:02.000 Yeah, nice work.
01:51:05.000 Victor says, Nick, I'm not going to lie that in my heart I still root for Ukraine in the war.
01:51:09.000 I can't help it.
01:51:11.000 I still have that Slavic pride in me.
01:51:14.000 But you gave a really good and mature take on the situation that I can't argue with because it's the truth.
01:51:19.000 It hurts to watch.
01:51:20.000 My favorite streamer saying, Go Russia down with Ukraine, but I resigned myself to the fact that it must be this way.
01:51:27.000 Nevertheless, this is still the best show on the internet, and I'll still be loyal to AF.
01:51:32.000 I love you and I love this movement.
01:51:33.000 Well, hey, thanks a lot, man.
01:51:35.000 Listen, I don't mean to offend you as a Ukrainian.
01:51:37.000 I appreciate the super chats, I appreciate the support.
01:51:41.000 But it's about global security, and you have to ask yourself have the policies pursued by the Ukrainian government made Ukraine safe?
01:51:52.000 It's a failure.
01:51:53.000 And for all these people saying, well, what about Ukraine security?
01:51:56.000 Yeah, great question.
01:51:57.000 What about Ukraine security?
01:51:59.000 Is Ukraine secure?
01:52:01.000 Has the policy of pursuing NATO membership made them more safe?
01:52:05.000 Obviously not.
01:52:08.000 Obviously not, you know?
01:52:10.000 And so you can look at it through a few different lenses and still come up with the same answer.
01:52:14.000 It's not good for us, America.
01:52:16.000 It's not good for Ukraine, and it's not good for Russia.
01:52:19.000 So why is it happening?
01:52:21.000 It's happening because it's good for the State Department, or so they think.
01:52:26.000 So the rest of the stuff, you know, I say that to get a rise out of the left.
01:52:31.000 Because it's contrarian and it's fun and all of that.
01:52:35.000 And I legitimately do support Russia for other reasons, but you have to ask yourself again how did we arrive here?
01:52:44.000 And we arrived here because the State Department is unwilling to cooperate with Russia and they emboldened this radical regime in Ukraine, which they helped to install.
01:52:54.000 So I'm rooting against, you know, people say I'm rooting against America, right?
01:53:00.000 People say you say America first and you're rooting for Russia.
01:53:04.000 When I say, I want America to be humiliated.
01:53:06.000 I'm not talking about my homeland and my nation.
01:53:09.000 I'm talking about this regime.
01:53:11.000 And so, similarly, when I say down with Ukraine, I don't really, I'm not, I don't want people in Ukraine to be killed.
01:53:17.000 But the regime in Ukraine is a pawn of the globalist apparatus.
01:53:21.000 So, you know, I don't think I'm really saying anything here out of line.
01:53:24.000 I hope it's not too offensive, but you've got to understand where it's coming from.
01:53:30.000 We're all at war with the regime in a certain light.
01:53:33.000 You know, I mean, the regime is against all of us Ukrainians, Americans, Russians.
01:53:41.000 But I appreciate it, man.
01:53:42.000 Thanks a lot.
01:53:43.000 Kai says, Nick, I need some advice, man.
01:53:45.000 I'm only 19.
01:53:46.000 What do I do before I'm 23?
01:53:48.000 You talking about it so negatively makes me terrified.
01:53:52.000 Well, you should just keep in mind that your time is running out.
01:53:56.000 You know, people, people, it's really the saddest thing in life people waste time.
01:54:03.000 And they waste time because they don't realize that they're losing it always.
01:54:09.000 And you're not getting it back, and it's irreversible.
01:54:12.000 And, um, You know, so life is actually very short, and we're all going to die, and we don't know when we're going to die, and we only have so much time, and it's always running out.
01:54:24.000 And like I said, you're never getting more of it, and you only have one life.
01:54:28.000 And so there's something scary about the irreversibility of it, the finality of it, the fact that it's ceaselessly marching forward.
01:54:37.000 You know, it gives you anxiety.
01:54:39.000 I mean, I think that's like the definition of anxiety.
01:54:43.000 And so the best thing you could do is just use your time.
01:54:47.000 Use your time.
01:54:48.000 Stop wasting time.
01:54:50.000 Do things that are fulfilling to you and don't waste your time.
01:54:56.000 Now, don't get me wrong.
01:54:57.000 You're not going to live your life of your dreams.
01:55:01.000 We don't live dreams, we live in reality, sadly.
01:55:06.000 But what that means is there's this duality where, at once, you want to make your time count, but you also want to enjoy your time.
01:55:15.000 And what matters in the end is did you enjoy your life?
01:55:17.000 What did you do with your life?
01:55:19.000 And you have to be asking yourself these questions all the time.
01:55:22.000 There's this tension there where you want to make a count, but you also want to enjoy.
01:55:26.000 So, you know, that doesn't mean, hey, YOLO, live your whole life traveling, you know, follow your dreams.
01:55:33.000 But it does mean, you know, do something worthwhile.
01:55:38.000 And while you're living your life, make sure you're enjoying it.
01:55:42.000 Make sure you're never taking it extremely seriously in the sense that, like, you know, sometimes I'll take the scenic route, you know, sometimes I'll stay up all night, sometimes I'll do something reckless, I'll throw caution to the wind, in a sense.
01:55:56.000 And, you know, I'll eat at McDonald's.
01:56:00.000 You know, I'll cheat on, you know, the so called diet or whatever.
01:56:03.000 Not like I have a real diet, but I'll order a pizza and I'll eat a whole pizza.
01:56:08.000 And I'm disciplined in everything, but I also want to enjoy my life.
01:56:11.000 And if eating a pizza on Friday and drinking Pepsi, if that's not part of my life, I'm not really enjoying it, you know?
01:56:20.000 Can I do it every day?
01:56:21.000 No, because then I wouldn't be fit and I can't do things that matter.
01:56:23.000 But you understand there's this constant duality.
01:56:26.000 And so you have to live the life that you want within reason.
01:56:31.000 Within a reasonable set of expectations.
01:56:34.000 So, but that is the scary thing about life at any age.
01:56:37.000 It's always pressing on and it's accelerating.
01:56:40.000 You know, it feels as though it's accelerating as time goes on.
01:56:43.000 And you have to realize it'll be over before you know it.
01:56:47.000 So, and a lot of people don't do that.
01:56:50.000 And that is when they're given to wasting their time and then they waste their whole life.
01:56:55.000 And how that happens is you waste a lot of time and then you can't catch up.
01:56:59.000 It's very sad.
01:57:02.000 People waste a lot of time.
01:57:05.000 And, you know, it's sort of like this from the moment you're born, you have all of these possible trajectories.
01:57:13.000 You've got all these permutations, how your life will unfold.
01:57:18.000 And with each passing day, more of these options are closing.
01:57:23.000 And, you know, the range of options is narrowing.
01:57:26.000 And you could say that it's always relatively broad, but it's never as broad as it was the day before.
01:57:33.000 And you know what will happen to people is they'll waste lots of time and they will close off large branches of possibility in their life.
01:57:46.000 And then that's it.
01:57:47.000 And people will sort of work themselves into a trap.
01:57:50.000 And you see this where people make life altering decisions without much care and without thinking.
01:57:56.000 They'll create habits that are bad.
01:57:59.000 And you'll find that you're 30 or 40 and you're trapped and you have no control over your life.
01:58:06.000 And in some sense, we don't really have control over our life, but if we make habitual good decisions, we can influence the direction of our life.
01:58:14.000 And we can influence it in a direction which is more favorable to us.
01:58:18.000 And if you're not doing that, you're just sort of giving away your life and you're just sort of throwing it away and you're giving it to chance.
01:58:27.000 And you wind up in a situation where your life is not of your making and you're not in control anymore.
01:58:36.000 And for some people, They get trapped in a good thing.
01:58:40.000 And what I mean by that is you're not in control of your life, but you've steered your life in a direction that you're okay with.
01:58:47.000 Like if you have a wife and kids, you are in a sense trapped, but if you find the right one and you have kids, you're in a good place.
01:58:55.000 You don't have as much control of your life as you did when you were single, but you steered it to a place where you created a life for yourself that you like.
01:59:04.000 I see in a lot of people, they create a dynamic where they have a job they don't like.
01:59:09.000 They're in a relationship they don't like.
01:59:10.000 They're in a dynamic that doesn't work.
01:59:12.000 It's very sad.
01:59:14.000 And then you spend time digging yourself out and changing direction.
01:59:18.000 And so it's a scary prospect.
01:59:25.000 It's a very scary prospect.
01:59:26.000 And that's why you've got to take control, you know?
01:59:31.000 And you've just got to start thinking.
01:59:34.000 And Kai, you know, you're very on top of it, but you just got to stay alive, you know?
01:59:42.000 Like, you could be.
01:59:44.000 My grandma used to say this.
01:59:45.000 She said, you know, there's a difference between, like,.
01:59:51.000 Being alive and living.
01:59:52.000 I don't know if that's exactly what she said, but she said, if you have no quality of life, you're like a vegetable.
01:59:58.000 You're not alive, you know, and you're not really living.
02:00:04.000 And you got to make sure that always you're just, you have that spark, you have that zeal, you know, that love for life, and you got a plan, you got a scheme, you got something going on, you know, and life throws you for a loop.
02:00:20.000 You got to be flexible.
02:00:21.000 But I think you also have to have an idea.
02:00:23.000 You got to have a vision.
02:00:24.000 You got to have a plan.
02:00:26.000 You know, you got to come up with an idea of a life for yourself and work toward that end.
02:00:32.000 And yeah, it'll be upset and thwarted, and you may die.
02:00:38.000 But you got to be working towards it.
02:00:40.000 So that's my take on that.
02:00:43.000 But yeah, I mean, I'm, you know, I'm getting older.
02:00:47.000 I'm going to die.
02:00:49.000 And the world will go on.
02:00:50.000 Life will go on without me.
02:00:55.000 And, you know, it's scary.
02:01:00.000 And, you know, when you get older, it's like you're just inching.
02:01:02.000 And you know what?
02:01:03.000 I mean, yeah, if I live the normal life expectancy, death is far off for me.
02:01:08.000 But you know what?
02:01:08.000 It's going to happen one day.
02:01:11.000 What's the difference between the day I die and, like, tomorrow?
02:01:14.000 Well, it's really just like a matter of time.
02:01:15.000 It's just like more waiting.
02:01:17.000 You know, just like when you were eight years old, you couldn't wait for your birthday or Christmas, and you couldn't possibly think you'd be 23.
02:01:25.000 Right?
02:01:26.000 But yet here I am.
02:01:28.000 And surely, just as the day that I turn 23 arrived, the day that I turn 25 will arrive, and the day that I turn 45 will arrive.
02:01:35.000 You know, if I, like I said, assuming I live a normal life expectancy, and every calendar year, I pass the date that I will die unknowingly, and one day I'll wake up and that'll be it.
02:01:47.000 You know, one day I'll wake up or go to bed, that'll be the last day.
02:01:51.000 And that'll be the last time I get out of bed and brush my teeth and do my thing, and I'll talk to, At some point, I'll talk to you or that person for the last time, and I'll have been here, went to that restaurant for the last time, and then that'll be it.
02:02:04.000 And then it's over.
02:02:05.000 And then it's all over, you know, at least for this part.
02:02:08.000 And what happens next?
02:02:10.000 Well, you know, we believe that we'll have an afterlife, but we have faith because we can't know, you know, we can't know for sure.
02:02:20.000 And that, you know, it's the unknowing that's really the problem for me.
02:02:24.000 Because, like, I like to know, I like to have certainty.
02:02:28.000 I like something to be a done deal, but that's just it.
02:02:32.000 I mean, we can't know.
02:02:34.000 I believe we'll go to heaven.
02:02:35.000 I believe we'll have eternal life, but you just can't really be sure, can you?
02:02:41.000 And that's a little troubling because this is our ultimate destiny.
02:02:47.000 This is our ultimate destination.
02:02:52.000 And this is all we've ever known.
02:02:54.000 So it's like, what's outside of this?
02:02:56.000 We don't know.
02:02:58.000 What's outside this experience?
02:03:00.000 It's pretty freaky when you really get down to it.
02:03:04.000 You know, where are we, really?
02:03:05.000 I mean, when you think about it, like, where are we?
02:03:07.000 What are we doing here?
02:03:10.000 You know, when you zoom out, it's pretty freaky.
02:03:16.000 But, um, so yeah, so, you know, just enjoy.
02:03:22.000 Enjoy your young.
02:03:23.000 Just get on top of it, man.
02:03:25.000 I mean, I've done that.
02:03:26.000 I'm very happy with my life.
02:03:28.000 I'm very pleased.
02:03:29.000 I just hung out with a couple of friends of mine from high school.
02:03:32.000 That's why I was a little late.
02:03:33.000 A couple of friends of mine from high school were over.
02:03:35.000 I haven't seen in a long time.
02:03:37.000 And they were telling me, they're like, every, because I'm asking about everybody.
02:03:41.000 I'm like, how's this one?
02:03:42.000 How's that person?
02:03:43.000 And they're like, well, everybody's pretty much an alcoholic and they all have jobs they hate and everyone's miserable.
02:03:48.000 And so I feel pretty good about my life because I always did what I wanted to do.
02:03:53.000 And I built a life for myself where I feel very fulfilled.
02:03:58.000 I feel very satisfied.
02:03:59.000 I feel like I've done a lot for my age.
02:04:01.000 I feel very accomplished.
02:04:07.000 And I feel like the nostalgia is more pronounced in people that are not fulfilled.
02:04:13.000 They didn't do everything they could in the previous chapter.
02:04:17.000 But I feel good.
02:04:18.000 I feel good about the work that I've done.
02:04:23.000 But it's just like, you know, it's almost in a sense already over because, you know, there's something to be said about the fact that the anticipation for something is better than the thing itself.
02:04:39.000 And, you know, it's almost as though once something commences, it's almost already over.
02:04:44.000 Have you ever thought about that?
02:04:45.000 Like you make a plan and you can't wait for a vacation, a trip, a date, whatever.
02:04:54.000 And it's out there, it's in the distance, and there's this excitement, there's this anticipation, and then it begins, but it's almost like as soon as it begins, it's over.
02:05:04.000 You know?
02:05:07.000 And it's really over like the halfway point.
02:05:09.000 You know, at a certain point, you're halfway there, and you're sort of at the peak, and you're looking down at the other side.
02:05:17.000 You're rising, rising, rising, and then at a certain point, there's the peak, and you look down, and then it's falling, falling, falling, and then it's over.
02:05:26.000 And.
02:05:28.000 You know, so you really have to savor that before part.
02:05:31.000 You really have to savor the anticipation, the buildup.
02:05:36.000 And then when you're in it, you better enjoy it.
02:05:38.000 You better savor it because it's all, and that's how I feel about adulthood.
02:05:41.000 You know, I feel like that anticipation is like you're a child, then you're an adult, and then you're in.
02:05:46.000 And I'm in it right now, and I'm in my 20s, and my 20s are almost halfway over.
02:05:51.000 And then I'll be in my 30s, and then I'll turn 40, and then my life is half over, you know?
02:05:58.000 And then, you know, then you're in the latter half of the game.
02:06:01.000 And then you turn 60 or 70.
02:06:04.000 And then it's like, well, hey, then you're looking back.
02:06:07.000 You're like, wow, that was pretty good.
02:06:10.000 Right?
02:06:10.000 And then it's over.
02:06:11.000 And then it's all over.
02:06:13.000 And then it's all over.
02:06:14.000 And guess what?
02:06:16.000 As time goes on, people you know start to die and things change.
02:06:21.000 And it's just not the same.
02:06:25.000 And, you know, your youth, you blossom in your youth.
02:06:30.000 And then, like everything else, You grow old and your looks and your faculties and your physicality and all of it just begins to sort of wane.
02:06:47.000 That's just it.
02:06:48.000 It's not even like you live to be 80 and you feel like you're 17.
02:06:50.000 It's like, no, it's sort of like you get to 30 and then it's like, okay.
02:06:59.000 But.
02:07:04.000 And then it's over.
02:07:04.000 And then you're just dust, okay?
02:07:08.000 Then you're just dusted.
02:07:11.000 And you're gone.
02:07:13.000 You're just gone.
02:07:14.000 And they blow away in the wind like everybody else that's ever lived.
02:07:19.000 That's what's always scared me.
02:07:20.000 How many countless people that have ever lived that were here, gone, and we don't even know who they are.
02:07:26.000 And there's no record of them.
02:07:27.000 There's no record that they ever existed.
02:07:29.000 People just like you and me with, you know, passions and fears and everything.
02:07:38.000 And they were here just as surely as we were with their ancestors and their empire and so on.
02:07:45.000 And now they're gone without a trace.
02:07:47.000 They're gone.
02:07:48.000 No trace of them.
02:07:50.000 No one remembers.
02:07:52.000 Even the greats, even kings, kings and princes and famous people and philosophers who no one will ever know lost to history.
02:07:52.000 It's just over.
02:08:03.000 And eventually the world will end and all this whole thing will just be gone.
02:08:07.000 And then, what do they say?
02:08:12.000 The age of man will come to an end or something like that.
02:08:15.000 Everything will have passed.
02:08:16.000 It's over.
02:08:17.000 Then it's all over.
02:08:19.000 Then it's all over.
02:08:22.000 So it's pretty, pretty, but, and this is where, but hey, this is the kind of mindset that you have to have.
02:08:34.000 Because once you have that mindset, you look at life a lot differently.
02:08:37.000 And you also think about the eternal a lot differently.
02:08:40.000 Because this, I think, allows people to give themselves more to religion.
02:08:52.000 When you realize the transience and the temporality of everything, that is when you really feel what God is telling you.
02:09:08.000 It's a lot harder to hear God when you're going to work and you're like, oh my gosh, this person said this and I'm hungry and everything.
02:09:14.000 But then when you think about the fact that the whole history on this planet is here today and gone tomorrow, then you're like, whoa, okay, now it's a lot easier to think.
02:09:23.000 With a moral frame and with a divine frame, and so on.
02:09:29.000 And you know that with all the malaise and confusion, all the torment that comes with being a human will all be washed away when we die.
02:09:39.000 You know, that's the flip side.
02:09:41.000 Because, you know, the good thing is that life, there are mysteries and there are things that we don't know.
02:09:48.000 And that's actually a good thing.
02:09:49.000 There's actually a great refuge in that.
02:09:51.000 Because could you imagine if this is all that there was to creation?
02:09:54.000 That would really suck.
02:09:55.000 I mean, if all that there was.
02:09:57.000 Was, you know, like romance and like thrill and excitement.
02:10:03.000 I mean, that would be pretty lame because, you know, we've seen all of that for the most part, right?
02:10:08.000 I mean, by the time you're like 20, 25, you've really seen a lot of what life has to offer.
02:10:13.000 And if that's all that there was, it really wouldn't be a whole lot.
02:10:18.000 If you had all the answers, that would be a pretty small world, you know?
02:10:27.000 So.
02:10:29.000 Good news is, the bad news is this doesn't last forever.
02:10:32.000 The good news is none of this lasts forever.
02:10:35.000 The bad news is we don't know.
02:10:36.000 The good news is we don't know.
02:10:38.000 So it's really, that process I think can kind of bring you out of a materialistic frame of mind.
02:10:47.000 Once you undergo this, you think through it, you kind of arrive at a final destination where you're like, you know what, there is a creator.
02:10:55.000 I am confident that we'll be saved.
02:10:56.000 I am confident, I'm hopeful that we'll be saved.
02:10:59.000 I'm hopeful that there's a world to come.
02:11:02.000 Will be a part of it and so on.
02:11:05.000 But you do have to kind of go through this process of anxiety and despair and fear and all of that.
02:11:10.000 And then you arrive at realizing, you know, none of this really matters on some level.
02:11:16.000 It doesn't matter as much as we sometimes think it does.
02:11:19.000 And the death is actually the white pill, actually.
02:11:24.000 You know, and then, you know, you're sort of liberated to really just enjoy your life.
02:11:28.000 You're not clinging to it, you're using it, you're living it, you know.
02:11:32.000 So, but that's why I don't like the birthdays because it's slipping.
02:11:41.000 Away your one life, but uh, you know, hopefully then we get eternal life if we're good.
02:11:49.000 If we're good, but it is the death that gives meaning to life, you know.
02:11:54.000 I mean, I know I'm not the first person to say that yet, groundbreaking take, I know, but without the death, the life means nothing, you know.
02:12:00.000 So we are really born to die in more ways than one, you know.
02:12:06.000 It's sort of like backwards.
02:12:08.000 Your death gives meaning to the life that you lived, really.
02:12:14.000 So it has to happen this way.
02:12:16.000 And so it has to happen.
02:12:17.000 This is the way that things are.
02:12:19.000 Just resign yourself to this.
02:12:20.000 Don't be afraid.
02:12:21.000 Don't be afraid.
02:12:23.000 Do not be anxious.
02:12:25.000 Accept, resign yourself to it.
02:12:28.000 You know, enjoy.
02:12:31.000 Try to let go.
02:12:32.000 I mean, that's really what it is.
02:12:33.000 It's foundational.
02:12:35.000 Got to let go.
02:12:35.000 Let go.
02:12:36.000 Let go of the world.
02:12:38.000 Let go of your wants.
02:12:41.000 You know, you have to learn to just let go of it all.
02:12:43.000 And, uh, You know, then you realize that was really the source of all the, you know, negativity.
02:12:50.000 But it's easier said than done.
02:12:52.000 So, Chad Guy says Once you inevitably rise to power and become king of America, echoing monarchs, would you be willing to make the sacrifice of entering a political marriage to ease tensions with China?
02:13:04.000 You might have to consider marrying Kathy Zhu to avoid war between the two great nations.
02:13:10.000 You know, I will always do whatever it takes.
02:13:12.000 I think you know that by now.
02:13:16.000 If that is what is required of me to end the war between America and China, if I have to form a political marriage with the beautiful daughter of the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, I will do what I must.
02:13:35.000 I think you know that I will do whatever it takes to make America great again, even if it entails marrying some, you know, when I'm an elder statesman, marrying some 18 year old daughter of a Chinese Communist official.
02:13:52.000 I will do what I must.
02:13:56.000 So, and you know that.
02:13:58.000 Bob Jones says Selective Service tweeted about a draft today and how they will work with FEMA on conscientious objectors.
02:14:06.000 Are they insane?
02:14:07.000 Who would fight for this gay country?
02:14:09.000 Love you, buddy.
02:14:11.000 I wouldn't fight for America, let alone Ukraine.
02:14:15.000 So, yeah, I don't know what the hell they're thinking.
02:14:18.000 Eddie Van Graham says I pray that if God wills it, he'll provide you with a wife.
02:14:22.000 You deserve to be familiar with the joy of sex with your wife.
02:14:28.000 It's one of God's truly perfect creations.
02:14:31.000 Can you just stop?
02:14:33.000 You could have just stopped at I pray that God will give you a wife, not I pray that you can enjoy perfect sex.
02:14:39.000 Like, what the f?
02:14:40.000 What is wrong with you people?
02:14:43.000 You know, when you say stuff like that, it makes me never want to have sex.
02:14:46.000 It makes me never want to have sex when people say shit like that.
02:14:49.000 Like, people, like, just the thought of you people imagining me having sex grosses me out and like wanting me to be like, Wow, that was great.
02:14:58.000 Like, that just makes you want to fucking throw up.
02:15:01.000 Okay?
02:15:02.000 Don't think about that.
02:15:04.000 Don't think about me at all.
02:15:06.000 Stop thinking about me.
02:15:07.000 Stop forming opinions about me.
02:15:09.000 Stop thinking about me.
02:15:11.000 Just stop conceptualizing me, okay?
02:15:13.000 Just leave me alone.
02:15:15.000 Stop coming up with ideas about me.
02:15:17.000 You're bastardizing my identity.
02:15:21.000 Freak.
02:15:22.000 Thinking about me having sex, you freak.
02:15:24.000 Stop thinking about me having sex.
02:15:27.000 Get the fuck away from me.
02:15:28.000 I don't even, you know, you're a stranger on the internet talking about you wanting me to enjoy sex.
02:15:32.000 No, weird that is.
02:15:35.000 Ugh.
02:15:40.000 I don't want, you know, I don't, when you talk like that, I don't want to have sex.
02:15:44.000 I don't want to have sex.
02:15:45.000 I don't want to drink.
02:15:46.000 I don't want to do anything.
02:15:47.000 I just want to be miserable and work when you say stuff like that.
02:15:53.000 Horrible.
02:15:57.000 Horrible, horrible.
02:16:00.000 Guy says, Nick, it will be great.
02:16:01.000 Don't worry.
02:16:08.000 It's just despicable.
02:16:11.000 Jason says, You'll find your Ava Braun king.
02:16:13.000 Yeah, no, I won't.
02:16:15.000 Never mind.
02:16:16.000 No, I definitely don't want that anymore.
02:16:18.000 Not even interested anymore.
02:16:20.000 Makes me want to kill myself when you people talk like that.
02:16:23.000 Annado says, Was the Halo series anti Christian propaganda?
02:16:27.000 I don't know.
02:16:27.000 I never played Halo until like a year ago.
02:16:31.000 The Covenant are religious zealots whose main goal is eternal salvation, while the humans are under a godless global government with no real culture and women in leadership.
02:16:40.000 Seems kind of on the note.
02:16:41.000 Who cares, dude?
02:16:42.000 I don't know.
02:16:43.000 LaCroiper.
02:16:44.000 Whoa!
02:16:45.000 LaCroiper with a huge super chat.
02:16:48.000 Thank you so much.
02:16:50.000 Whoa!
02:16:51.000 07s in chat for LaCroiper.
02:16:54.000 He says, Yeah, man, turning 30?
02:16:56.000 I can't even imagine.
02:16:57.000 Sounds horrible.
02:16:59.000 Good thing it's so far away for both of us.
02:17:02.000 Anyway, I randomly caught the opening scene of that movie Watchmen the other day.
02:17:08.000 It takes place during the Cold War, and the opening montage features some talk shows of that period.
02:17:12.000 The first guest they introduced, to my surprise, was Pat Buchanan.
02:17:16.000 They even got an actor who looked like him.
02:17:18.000 Kind of cool.
02:17:19.000 Anyway, yeah, man, 30.
02:17:20.000 So far off.
02:17:22.000 Hey, well, thanks a lot for the big super chat, man.
02:17:26.000 I appreciate it.
02:17:27.000 Can we get an 07 for LaCroyper, the based Chad?
02:17:31.000 Hey, don't take it too hard, man.
02:17:33.000 We have a lot of over 30.
02:17:35.000 Hey, look at Baked Alaska.
02:17:37.000 That man will be forever young.
02:17:38.000 He's just got to watch his weight a little bit, but he's still young at heart.
02:17:42.000 And Kanye, he's in his 40s, and, you know, he's still young in a certain way.
02:17:48.000 And.
02:17:50.000 Beardson is over 30, and lots of people are over 30.
02:17:54.000 So, you know, I'm reassuring you.
02:17:56.000 I'm reassuring myself.
02:17:58.000 You know, we're all going to be okay.
02:18:00.000 But yeah, no, I saw Watchmen, and I soy faced when I saw that.
02:18:06.000 Yeah, it's kind of a trip to see because, you know, he's so central in our universe, and to see him in like a mainstream movie is like, what?
02:18:15.000 No way.
02:18:16.000 Yeah, pretty cool.
02:18:17.000 But hey, thank you very much, man.
02:18:19.000 I very much appreciate it.
02:18:21.000 We love you, LaCroyper.
02:18:23.000 Very generous from the under 30 year old LaCroix fanatic.
02:18:31.000 Thank you very much.
02:18:34.000 Yeah, yeah, it's not all bad, you know?
02:18:36.000 It's not so bad after all.
02:18:39.000 Eddie Van Graham says Goodfellas over Godfather Every Time.
02:18:42.000 Perfect story, soundtrack, camera work, and dialogue.
02:18:45.000 And it has a sobering message that we can relate to.
02:18:48.000 Sometimes really be your own niggas.
02:18:50.000 Yeah, I know that.
02:18:51.000 I know that.
02:18:53.000 Yeah, I agree.
02:18:54.000 But, you know, Godfather has a similar message and good dialogue, good story, good soundtrack.
02:19:02.000 You know, Godfather's good too.
02:19:06.000 Esoteric Bro says, I don't lie.
02:19:08.000 You pay lip service to demographics, but your followers are sheep and try to emulate your macho incel posture.
02:19:14.000 Men are required to buy a lot.
02:19:16.000 Dude, just shut up.
02:19:17.000 You don't even watch my show.
02:19:20.000 And I'm going to throw you in jail for lying.
02:19:24.000 When I get in power, I'm going to throw you in jail for lying.
02:19:28.000 I'm going to shut your lying mouth for you.
02:19:32.000 Pat Mance is the senators and emperors preferred the countryside, and their villas were as far from the city center as they could possibly be.
02:19:40.000 Yeah, but they ruled from the capital.
02:19:42.000 Okay, so yeah, I mean, they go on vacation in the countryside, but they rule in the city.
02:19:48.000 The city is the center of power.
02:19:50.000 They didn't go out in the middle of nowhere, they went out in a villa outside of the capital.
02:19:57.000 So you're coping and you're lying, Farmer.
02:20:01.000 You're coping and lying, Farmer.
02:20:03.000 Kevin Bros says Goodfellas is the perfect movie.
02:20:06.000 It doesn't matter how far along into the film I catch it.
02:20:09.000 I'll watch until the end.
02:20:11.000 As for farmers, don't forget LBJ and Jimmy Carter were country boys.
02:20:15.000 They gave us the Civil Rights Act of '64 and Carter Doctrine.
02:20:18.000 You're on to something.
02:20:19.000 I know I am.
02:20:20.000 I know.
02:20:21.000 Yeah, yeah, they were.
02:20:22.000 They were good old boys.
02:20:25.000 Yeah, Peanut Farmer and Mr. Texas.
02:20:28.000 Yeah, I know what they're up to, man.
02:20:32.000 We had Trump.
02:20:33.000 Trump is a city boy.
02:20:37.000 And so is Obama.
02:20:38.000 And Obama.
02:20:40.000 Hated Israel.
02:20:43.000 And he was a Muslim socialist, which is actually kind of based.
02:20:46.000 So, you know, what did.
02:20:48.000 And, you know, George W. Bush, I mean, he pretended he was from Texas, but really he kind of wasn't.
02:20:56.000 So.
02:20:59.000 You're right.
02:21:00.000 When you're right, you're right.
02:21:02.000 Kansas Zoomers says the saddest thing about what you said about rural areas is I agree with all of it.
02:21:08.000 Drove through a town of 200 people yesterday passing through.
02:21:11.000 Ukraine flags and gay flags on houses.
02:21:13.000 You're right.
02:21:14.000 I know.
02:21:15.000 I've driven through the country.
02:21:16.000 I'm on a no fly list.
02:21:17.000 I've seen the country.
02:21:18.000 I know what's up.
02:21:20.000 I've seen it with my own eyes.
02:21:21.000 I'm not out of touch.
02:21:22.000 I've been there.
02:21:26.000 And yeah, it's not what people, you know, they're obviously coping.
02:21:29.000 That's why I try not to go too hard on them because, I mean, it's punching down, really.
02:21:35.000 Kevin Bros says, God bless and good night, y'all.
02:21:37.000 Hey, good night.
02:21:38.000 Good night, y'all.
02:21:39.000 Good night, my brother.
02:21:41.000 God bless you.
02:21:42.000 Cameron says Homewood, Alabama is far more faggity than Birmingham.
02:21:46.000 I've never been to Homewood, but I know in Birmingham it was pretty faggity and pretty black.
02:21:52.000 So that's the other thing in the South, he got that as well.
02:21:55.000 Missouri Friends says, I love Missouri.
02:21:58.000 Yeah, it's okay.
02:22:01.000 I don't think I've been to Missouri in a long time, though.
02:22:04.000 I'm trying to think.
02:22:05.000 I don't think I've been in Missouri.
02:22:10.000 For the white boy summer trip, we drove through Iowa and we came back through.
02:22:15.000 Kentucky.
02:22:16.000 So, yeah, I don't think I've been to Missouri since I was in like high school.
02:22:22.000 It's nice enough.
02:22:22.000 But yeah, it's nice.
02:22:24.000 Max says, Love you, Nick.
02:22:26.000 Great show, my based brother.
02:22:27.000 I've got a congressional debate this weekend to qualify for nationals.
02:22:32.000 And I have a great shot of winning.
02:22:33.000 Wish me luck.
02:22:34.000 Night, buddy.
02:22:34.000 Much love from Kansas.
02:22:35.000 Hey, God bless, man.
02:22:37.000 Good luck.
02:22:39.000 Good luck, King.
02:22:40.000 You got it.
02:22:41.000 I know you're going to kill it, buddy.
02:22:43.000 Love you too, pal.
02:22:45.000 DH says, All these people.
02:22:47.000 Where are all those lives?
02:22:49.000 Where are they now?
02:22:50.000 With loves and AIDS passions just like mine, they were born and they lived and they died.
02:22:54.000 I want to cry.
02:22:54.000 It seems so unfair.
02:22:56.000 And that's a quote from Morrissey.
02:23:00.000 Very true.
02:23:01.000 Very true.
02:23:03.000 And it is saddening.
02:23:06.000 Okay.
02:23:07.000 All right.
02:23:08.000 That's our last super chat.
