00:05:12.000And people don't realize what they have.
00:05:17.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:31.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:37.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:15.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:20.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:26.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:34.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:42.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:44.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:59.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:08:02.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:06.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:13.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:17.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:46.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the globe.
00:08:51.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:06.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:16.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure...
00:09:46.000America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:09:58.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:16:05.000You know I'm gonna be in the middle of this.
00:17:02.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
00:17:10.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:17:28.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:17:35.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:17:46.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:26:22.000Some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:31:44.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian Adams?
00:31:48.000Our movement is It's about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:32:13.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason to protect and enrich itself.
00:32:24.000The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
00:32:28.000For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.
00:32:38.000Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before.
00:32:47.000This is not simply another four-year election.
00:32:49.000This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we, the people, reclaim control over our government.
00:33:02.000The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration.
00:33:14.000And economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
00:33:21.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
00:33:32.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth.
00:33:42.000And put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
00:33:49.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation.
00:33:57.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
00:35:57.000This nation belongs to you, belongs to me.
00:36:02.000It was patriots like you that built this country, and it's patriots like you that are going to save our country.
00:36:24.000To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words from me tonight: "The people of America will not stop."
00:36:39.000We will not surrender our We are done with their distorted visions for America.
00:37:04.000It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again.
00:37:09.000We want our country to be great again.
00:37:31.000As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve.
00:43:26.000My narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:43:30.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:43:45.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:43:55.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that.
00:44:25.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:52:49.000Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?
00:52:52.000Because I think it's a very mean life.
00:52:54.000I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life.
00:52:59.000And I also see it as somebody with strong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.
00:53:15.000And that's a sad commentary for the political process.
00:53:18.000And if you have a minute, why don't we go?
00:54:47.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:55:05.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.

01:10:41.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
01:10:47.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
01:11:01.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
01:11:11.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who through an increasing amount of activism are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
01:11:42.000America is a nation of believers, dreamers and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics and cynics.
01:11:54.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
01:12:05.000My message is that things have to change and they have to change right now.
01:12:12.000My soul and exclusive mission is to go to work for you.
01:12:21.000It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.
01:12:27.000We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.
01:12:31.000So to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
01:12:52.000Saying to me is like, this is probably pretty cool for you.
01:16:49.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
01:18:58.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
01:19:05.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
01:19:23.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
01:19:31.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
01:19:41.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
01:28:17.000Some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
01:35:56.000Hours before the Trump administration bombed Yemen, the heads of the State Department, Defense Department, National Security Council, and other White House advisors started a group chat on the messaging app known as Signal, and they accidentally added to the group chat...
01:36:19.000The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, which is a left-leaning publication.
01:36:25.000Inside the group chat, they discussed their imminent plans to bomb Yemen, including targets, how they would carry out the strike, when they would carry out the strike, and then they reacted to it live as it was happening inside the group chat.
01:36:44.000And so the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic was able to see all of this information.
01:36:52.000And today he published an article about the experience, including the text messages.
01:36:59.000He did not include any of the operational details of the strike, but he did reveal some of the messages by the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, the Vice President.
01:37:11.000And so we'll be talking all about this tonight.
01:37:14.000The White House basically confirmed its authenticity and that they're investigating it.
01:37:19.000Some say it's illegal that they were discussing sensitive wartime planning inside of an unsecured group chat, which also happened to include the media.
01:37:33.000And there are some people, and I think there's something to this.
01:37:39.000Who say that maybe the whole thing is fake, but not in the way that you think.
01:37:43.000Some people are saying that it's authentic, but that it was effectively staged.
01:37:50.000And it was staged for one reason or another, maybe to make Vance look good, based on what Vance said, and we'll talk about specifically what he said.
01:38:02.000Some say that it was staged to make other people look bad.
01:38:06.000Mike Waltz, the National Security Advisor, he's maybe the most pro-intervention, pro-war member of the inner circle.
01:38:15.000He is allegedly the one that added the journalist to the group chat.
01:38:20.000So they say that maybe it was staged to make him look worse for OPSEC reasons.
01:38:27.000That's operational security because he leaked the messages or because he's the one that's pushing for war.
01:38:35.000And I think that's a possibility we have to consider.
01:39:50.000We're not really getting any tariffs at all, actually.
01:39:53.000He changed the threat now to a reciprocal tariff where we will levy the same tariff rate and on the same types of goods that other countries are applying to our exports.
01:40:09.000So, for example, they call them the dirty 15, countries that have a 15% tariff on American goods, countries like India, Mexico, Canada, the European Union.
01:40:21.000We will put in place the same tariff that they put on us against them, against their goods.
01:40:29.000It was supposed to happen on April 2nd.
01:40:34.000Now they're walking that back, and so now we're not even getting reciprocal tariffs.
01:40:39.000Now Trump says, just a little more than a week before this is supposed to even happen, now Trump is saying there won't be reciprocal tariffs.
01:40:47.000He said there will be targeted reciprocal tariffs, which means that some countries will have some tariffs on some goods.
01:40:57.000We don't know anything more than that.
01:41:09.000We know it's going to be substantially less than even reciprocal.
01:41:14.000So we'll talk all about the latest on tariffs.
01:41:18.000Stock market seems to be happy with the news.
01:41:21.000Bitcoin and the stock market were both up today on the news that Trump is...
01:41:26.000Once again, retreating on the tariff threat.
01:41:28.000And I want to talk a little bit tonight in particular about this tariff policy.
01:41:33.000I was the most optimistic about tariffs compared to any of the other promises.
01:41:41.000We know that the big pillars of the Trump America First agenda are immigration, foreign policy, and trade.
01:41:49.000I am pessimistic about immigration and foreign policy.
01:41:56.000I thought sounded much better in this cycle, at least during the campaign.
01:42:01.000And I thought, especially after Inauguration Day, with all of the tariff threats, I thought there was a much higher chance of follow-through this time compared to last time.
01:42:12.000But here we are, just like everything else, a few months in, I guess two months in, and it's not looking good.
01:42:20.000Seems like we're not really doing what was promised.
01:43:12.000I said the topic is too big really to fit into any stream, unless you spent like 12 hours on it.
01:43:21.000It's a huge subject, but I tried my best to condense the most important parts and the big ideas about the JFK conspiracy into the show on Friday.
01:43:32.000So if you missed that, make sure to check it out.
01:43:35.000People are always asking me to do a deep dive on a subject, and that's the first time we've done one in a long time, at least on an historical topic.
01:43:45.000Usually I'll do a deep dive on foreign policy, what's happening in the Middle East.
01:44:23.000People are always asking for a book list, a really in-depth explanation.
01:44:27.000And so I'm thinking maybe this year I might produce more content like that.
01:44:32.000I'm not going to give away my idea, but I have been thinking a lot about this because, you know, the big problem with people when they get red-pilled is there's almost nowhere to go for really good information that is packaged in a way that is accessible.
01:44:54.000So many people are becoming aware of the truth.
01:44:59.000And unlike mainstream conservatives or mainstream liberals, there's no publication you can go to, there's very few, where you can get all of the information about these forbidden topics, these highly censored, highly controversial topics.
01:45:17.000And if you do find the information, it's disorganized.
01:45:49.000For example, he'll do a piece about the Holocaust that's 30,000 words.
01:45:54.000Most people are not going to read that.
01:45:56.000So, you know, we really need to do a better job bringing the material to the people in a way that is digestible.
01:46:04.000Shorter videos, longer videos, but information that's gold standard with but also delivered in a way that's a little bit more digestible than some of the stuff that's out there.
01:46:17.000So anyway, I tried to do that on Friday, but I'm thinking.
01:46:20.000The other thing I wanted to throw out there before we get into the news, what is going on with Trent Horn?
01:46:59.000And this guy cannot stop talking about me.
01:47:03.000He's done many videos about me over the years and he's accused me of being a bad Catholic because he says I hate Jews and I'm a Holocaust denier and also I'm sexist and I hate women and I'm racist and I hate minorities and all this kind of stuff.
01:47:21.000And a lot of people say this about me.
01:47:25.000But he made another video about me today and he said that I am like angry and hate women.
01:47:32.000A few months ago, around the time of the election, there was this meme going around called Wife Jack.
01:47:38.000It's like a cartoon, a Wojak meme of like a guy's wife.
01:47:43.000And it was the gayest shit imaginable.
01:47:45.000It's like, it was a Wojak of a person's wife, but it wasn't even funny.
01:48:48.000But then it turned into something completely different where people were saying it was political.
01:48:55.000People said there was this, it represented this political cultural victory because they said that in the old days, our parents and our grandparents made jokes about hating their wife.
01:49:11.000You know, they'd say things like, oh, take my wife, for example.
01:50:31.000Anyway, but I was very outspoken about it and Trent Horn does a video about me and says, oh, well, that's not Catholic at all because you're supposed to love your wife and all this.
01:50:41.000And then he even put Thomas Aquinas on blast.
01:50:48.000The doctor of the church, literally the smartest man that ever lived, said that a husband can reprimand his wife and also strike his wife to discipline her.
01:51:01.000And Trent Horn said, oh my gosh, that is sexist.
01:51:06.000He said in the comments of his own video, he said, how do we feel about the fact that men can hit their wives, but women can't hit their husbands?
01:51:24.000But honestly, the thing that's really getting beyond the pale, the thing that's really frustrating is these fucking Jews that talk trash about me nonstop.
01:51:38.000It's other people too, but it's also a lot of Jews that do this.
01:51:41.000I'm talking about Andrew Klavan, Ben Shapiro, Trent Horn.
01:51:48.000All these Jews do is talk trash about me.
01:51:51.000That's all they do is like concern troll me.
01:51:54.000All they do is make videos and bitch about how I'm a fake Christian, I hate women, I hate Jews, I hate this one and that one, and I'm such a bad person, and I'm racist, and I'm a pied piper for the young people.
01:52:09.000And not one of them will sit down and have a discussion.
01:52:12.000I've said repeatedly, if Trent Horn has a problem with me, I'll have a debate with him.
01:52:48.000No. He won't talk to me because I'm such a vile anti-Semite.
01:52:52.000But then he'll go to the whatever podcast and debate Destiny about whether child porn, artificial intelligence, you know, virtual child porn is virtuous or not.
01:57:08.000It's an ethnicity, and they descend from the Pharisees.
01:57:12.000And insofar as you have Jewish people that self-identify as Jewish, That means they, in essence, their self-identification is that they reject Jesus Christ.
01:57:23.000That's what their religion is based in, and that is where their ethnic identity comes from also.
01:57:30.000If they accepted Jesus, they'd be Christians.
01:57:32.000And they'd say, I'm Jewish, but I'm also Christian, or I'm Catholic or something.
01:57:37.000But these guys like Trent Horn, they just can't let it go.
01:57:41.000He's Jewish, he's Catholic, and he's super liberal.
01:57:45.000He thinks he knows better than Thomas Aquinas.
01:57:48.000He thinks he knows better than St. Augustine.
01:57:50.000He thinks he knows better than countless popes that have issued encyclicals and other papal documents describing the relationship between Christians and Jews.
01:58:01.000And he also, by the way, by virtue of that, being, I guess, some kind of modernist, thinks he knows better than all of them about women, about race, about politics, about democracy, about all of it.
01:58:16.000And so there's this process where I was born Catholic.
01:58:20.000I was baptized and confirmed Catholic.
01:58:23.000People like myself became aware and said, hey, wait a second.
01:58:38.000Now we see the world is run by Israel, and the world is run by this transnational Jewish syndicate.
01:58:46.000And we look at the moral degeneration of the world and the degeneration in many other ways, of nationality, of kingdoms, of cultures, of races, of everything, and we say this aligns with Jewish values.
01:59:05.000This aligns with these revolutionary Jewish thinkers, the communists, the capitalists, the modernists, the postmodernists, the liberals, those behind the Enlightenment.
01:59:16.000The Illuminists, the Masons, you know, all of that stuff comes from Jewish mysticism.
01:59:21.000And Catholics like me are saying, I'm starting to clearly understand where we went wrong.
01:59:27.000I'm starting to clearly understand if they say the essence of politics is the distinction between us and them.
01:59:35.000We say we're starting to become aware of...
01:59:38.000What the teams are, if we're engaged in this spiritual war or this great civilizational battle, we're starting to see where that divining line is.
01:59:46.000And it seems like there's this cavalry coming in to say, oh, no, no, no, no, not so fast.
01:59:56.000It's the ADL that wants to put a little paper, a little pamphlet inside the Bible during Easter that says, Well, we can read the Passion, but let's not fall into anti-Semitism.
02:00:14.000It's this endless cadre of so-called Christians that are conspicuously tied up with rabbinical Jews, the ADL, the State of Israel, getting all this money to tell us, hey, everything's cool.
02:00:31.000There's two ways to get into heaven now.
02:03:15.000You're talking to another grown-ass man, okay?
02:03:18.000You're not talking to your fucking daughters.
02:03:20.000You're not talking to some stupid bitch.
02:03:22.000You're talking to another grown man, okay?
02:03:25.000Get your fucking finger out of my face.
02:03:27.000Stop wagging your finger in my face telling me, we don't use language like that.
02:03:32.000Well, let's keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
02:03:34.000You're talking to another fucking grown man.
02:03:36.000I'm so sick of these, like, feminine men, especially these, like, Like, uh, girl, dad, Christians, the whole, like, this whole feminist thing they have going on, I can't stand that.
02:03:54.000It's like, I'm sorry, you're not my priest, you're not the pope, you're not my fucking boss, you're not my parents, you have no right to, and should not feel even comfortable talking to or about another man like that, this whole...
02:05:13.000The Trump administration is saying that April 2nd, which is in a little more than a week, is going to be Liberation Day.
02:05:21.000April 2nd is the day when Trump's reciprocal tariffs are supposed to go into effect.
02:05:29.000Trump says that any nation that has tariffs on our goods, we will put a reciprocal tariff on their goods.
02:05:38.000So whatever the percentage that they apply to our exports and however much of our trade they put tariffs on, we will do exactly the same to them.
02:05:49.000And this is supposed to be groundbreaking.
02:08:10.000We did know last week it was reciprocal.
02:08:12.000So every country that had tariffs against us was going to get tariffs.
02:08:17.000You would have to do a little more research, but you could then figure out what that would look like.
02:08:22.000Last week, Howard Lutnick and Scott Besant said that various nations were coming to negotiate with Washington and in anticipation of the reciprocal tariffs, they were lowering their trade barriers.
02:08:37.000In other words, expecting that the United States would impose tariffs on them, they were going to reduce their tariffs so that they would get...
02:08:46.000Lower tariffs on the goods they export to the United States.
02:08:50.000Well, now today they say, well, it's just going to be something else.
02:08:54.000They don't say anything more than that.
02:09:01.000It says, quote, That the president is not actually going to impose blanket duties on industrial sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors.
02:09:18.000Shares of Tesla, which have been battered by sluggish sales and backlash against Elon Musk, soared almost 10% on Monday.
02:09:26.000Previously, the company submitted a letter to Trump's trade representative stating it was vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries in response to Trump's measures.
02:09:37.000A source familiar with Trump's thinking told NBC early on Monday, the president has yet to make a final decision about the scale of the blanket tariffs expected to be announced on April 2nd.
02:09:48.000Trump delivered further volatility when he announced on True Social that starting that date, any country that purchases oil or gas from Venezuela would be forced to pay a 25% tariff on any trade they do with the United States.
02:10:03.000Later on Monday, Trump hinted at even more leeway in the April 2nd duties while stating other levies on industrial items could still be forthcoming.
02:10:13.000He said, I may give a lot of countries breaks, but it's reciprocal.
02:11:34.000Because the point of this is to, I mean, what economy means is to determine how you allocate your resources when you change the framework of the economy.
02:12:13.000He says we'll be announcing some additional tariffs over the next few days having to do with automobiles, cars, and also to do a little with lumber down the road, lumber and chips.
02:12:24.000The president has demonstrated a willingness to relent on his tariff threats even as he publicly maintains pressure.
02:12:30.000Last week, he signaled that when it came to tariffs on China, there was room for talk.
02:12:35.000And while he was intent on posing new tit-for-tat duties on longstanding U.S. allies, Daylight remained.
02:12:47.000So there will be flexibility, but basically it's reciprocal.
02:12:53.000Treasury Secretary Scott Besson also suggested last week that the range of countries targeted by the April 2nd tariffs would be more limited than what had previously been reported.
02:13:05.000Telling Fox News host Maria Bartomomo.
02:13:09.000That a dirty 15 referring to the 15% of nations with persistent trade imbalances with the United States would be affected.
02:13:17.000In descending order, the nations and entities with the largest trade deficits are China, the EU, Mexico, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and India.
02:13:29.000Trump's ongoing openness to negotiate is why the threatened 25% duties on Mexico and Canada were ultimately suspended and then scaled back to only include goods not covered by the US MCA.
02:13:42.000Trump also proved receptive to entreaties from major auto firms about how dramatic the impact of the tariffs with America's north and southern neighbors would be to their businesses.
02:13:52.000Heading into Monday, only steel and aluminum tariffs and higher duties against Chinese goods have gone into effect.
02:13:58.000So, all this talk about tariffs over the past two months, and all you have is...
02:14:08.000There are no tariffs on Mexico, EU, Canada, nothing major.
02:14:13.000It's just the tariffs on Mexico and steel and aluminum.
02:14:18.000And here's the thing about tariffs, and this is the problem.
02:14:23.000And we talked about this a little bit at the beginning of the year, and I've said this really for the past 10 years, ever since Trump got elected the first time.
02:14:33.000The problem with how Trump views tariffs, or I should say maybe people in Trump's cabinet, the problem with how they view tariffs is that they are effectively free traders, which means ideologically they believe in free trade.
02:14:52.000And maybe more importantly, to the extent that they want to change our trade policy, Some of them don't even believe in that.
02:15:09.000Many of them only view tariffs as a tool of foreign policy.
02:15:15.000Access to the markets inside the United States is extremely powerful and it makes other countries rich.
02:15:28.000And by selectively taking that away, that is a form of soft power.
02:15:34.000So, for example, earlier in the year, Trump imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada, he said, because he wanted them to do a better job policing their borders with immigration and with drug trafficking.
02:15:48.000And so Trump said, you cannot have access to our markets.
02:15:52.000This would destroy both of their economies.
02:15:54.000This would destroy the businesses that...
02:15:57.000That employ so many people there and are a big source of their wealth.
02:16:01.000He said, we will basically destroy and cripple your economy.
02:16:04.000It's over for you if you don't make key concessions.
02:16:09.000But understand, that is using tariffs as a tool for foreign policy.
02:16:16.000That's using them as a tool of statecraft.
02:16:19.000The State Department is negotiating with the foreign ministries of Canada and Mexico, and they're using tariffs to coerce Those governments to do something that's unrelated to trade.
02:16:31.000Immigration and fentanyl have really nothing to do with trade at all.
02:16:34.000They have nothing to do with our economy.
02:16:36.000And unfortunately, all too often, that is the only way.
02:16:41.000That's the only reason that the Trump administration is willing to use tariffs for.
02:16:47.000We're going to put tariffs on Canada to get them to do this.
02:16:51.000Put tariffs on Mexico to get them to do this.
02:16:53.000Put sanctions on Iran or the secondary sanctions with Venezuela, 25% tariff on anyone that does business with Venezuela for a foreign policy objective.
02:17:06.000But the problem is that we need tariffs for the economy.
02:17:10.000In other words, you can threaten tariffs and maybe they go on and maybe they don't or maybe they go on until the country does what we want them to do and then they're taken away.
02:17:21.000We need tariffs to be a part of our economy.
02:17:24.000They need to be in the mix basically permanently for the purpose of building the American economy, not to get Mexico to do X, Y, and Z, not to get Venezuela or its allies to do something.
02:17:39.000We need tariffs to build our own economy.
02:17:43.000And in order to do that, tariffs need to be implemented in a very specific way.
02:17:49.000Right now, There is a report, I think it's by the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis, and it says that consumer spending in the first quarter of this year indicates that we're headed for a recession, that the GDP will contract by 3%.
02:18:10.000And when you look at the stock market, the stock market has been rough.
02:18:50.000If the United States is going to apply a 25% tariff to everything coming across its borders from Canada, obviously companies are not going to invest if they think that that will affect them.
02:19:04.000It's going to change their decision-making whether that does or does not happen.
02:19:08.000So they hang on to their money and they wait to see what happens.
02:19:12.000And that's one example, but that happens every time there's a big tariff threat.
02:19:17.000And that's actually bad for the economy to have that uncertainty.
02:19:21.000The way that you impose tariffs, if you want them to be a part of your economic policy for the long term, if you actually want companies or countries or anybody to invest in the United States, they need to be predictable.
02:19:39.000You need to tell them what the rates are going to be, what goods are going to affect, when they're going to come into effect, give a reasonable amount of time, and then you have to follow through.
02:19:51.000And if they're implemented in such a way where there's transparency, where they are telegraphed in advance, where there is time to coordinate economic activity, and when they are predictable...
02:20:03.000You don't have as much volatility in the markets.
02:20:06.000Then people can plan and they can prepare.
02:20:10.000What is happening right now, and people have their own theories about why Trump is doing this.
02:20:16.000Some people say it's intentional for reasons we could get into.
02:20:30.000And when you have An environment, an ecosystem, when the tariffs are being threatened but not being applied, when they're contingent on whether another country does something the State Department wants them to do or not, that's actually not part of economic policy.
02:20:48.000And we want tariffs because they build the economy.
02:20:51.000I understand that tariffs are useful for foreign policy, and that is one purpose for them.
02:20:58.000But we want tariffs to go into effect actually to nurture industry in the United States.
02:21:03.000To put it simply, we want tariffs to protect the steel industry.
02:21:07.000And it's a good thing Trump has tariffs on that.
02:21:10.000We want tariffs in the United States to protect our tech industry.
02:21:14.000We want tariffs to protect our auto industry.
02:21:18.000Right now, China is becoming an automobile superpower.
02:21:22.000They're becoming a car manufacturing superpower.
02:22:40.000And the problem is, in the first term and in the second term, you never get a comprehensive policy.
02:22:48.000Economists call it an industrial policy, which involves a mix of different policy tools that is sustained, that is comprehensive over a period of time.
02:23:02.000You don't get that in the first Trump administration, and it seems like we're not getting that in the second Trump administration.
02:23:08.000To put it simply, if we want to rebuild our economy, we need a mix of tariffs.
02:23:24.000We need a mix of different policies from Congress so that we can build back up, for example, our ability to make ships, our ability to make ships also.
02:23:36.000I mean, those are two things that Asia makes that we don't that are super important.
02:23:41.000China has a 400 times greater shipbuilding capacity than we do.
02:24:30.000Quantum computing, AI, who can predict what will happen after that?
02:24:35.000We want chips because it will fold in, roll into the next thing.
02:24:41.000And the only way to achieve that, and that is what a good economy is, we're making these things and buying these things, is a comprehensive industrial policy that comes from the government, that comes from the top.
02:24:59.000And yes, you need tariffs, and they need to be high, and they need to be targeted, and they need to be for the explicit purpose of building the economy.
02:25:10.000Not to get people to overthrow the government in Venezuela, not to get Canada to stop sending fentanyl.
02:26:18.000And here's the last thing I'll say about it, then we'll move on.
02:26:23.000And I explained this on a Twitter space not too long ago, and in my debate with Dean Withers, they all talk about, but tariffs make things more expensive.
02:26:31.000Tariffs are going to cause prices to go up.
02:26:38.000Here's the thing about tariffs, even to the extent that you talk about tariffs as a tool for foreign policy.
02:26:47.000Productive capacity is the foundation of everything.
02:26:51.000And I'm using that word very specifically.
02:27:38.000When you look at China and they make cars, when you look at Japan and they make cars, when you look at China and they make everything, that's economy.
02:27:55.000We need to be economically competitive.
02:27:57.000Unfortunately, that term is too loose.
02:28:00.000The foundation of everything is not the economy, as evidenced by our war in Ukraine with Russia, because you can't send money to go and fight Russians.
02:29:00.000And then, by the way, if you don't have the productive capacity to make ships, to make aircraft carriers, to make face masks during the pandemic, to make medical equipment, to make chips, to make computers.
02:29:14.000If you don't have the productive capacity to make the things that you need to project power in the world, if you don't have power projection in the world, guess who controls trade?
02:30:17.000Instead of using tariffs to secure a short-term concession, we should have tariffs in place comprehensively and permanently so that we can in the long term rebuild our productive capability, our productive capacity as a country.
02:30:34.000That is something that resonated with me in the first Trump campaign, I should say, but it never got off the ground.
02:30:44.000It has been 11 years now, or I should say 9 years, since Trump won the election the first time.
02:30:57.000On steel, we have the tariffs on China were put in place in the first Trump admin, stayed there through Biden, are there now.
02:31:05.000But 10 years is a long time for there to not be any kind of whole-of-government approach to deal with this problem.
02:31:14.000So this is my concern, and I'm a little more optimistic about this than I am about immigration or foreign policy, but we need to see some follow-through.
02:31:53.000Today, it was reported in The Atlantic that, if you remember a couple weeks ago, I guess it was last week, the Trump administration restarted the U.S. war in Yemen.
02:32:06.000So last year during the Biden administration, the United States and the United Kingdom were at war with the Houthi rebels in northern Yemen.
02:32:17.000They're attacking shipping in the Red Sea, and we're bombing them.
02:32:49.000This is the most serious military action since Trump took office.
02:32:54.000We have now learned that before the strikes began, a group chat was created on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, which included the vice president, national security advisor, secretary of defense, secretary of state.
02:33:11.000And apparently they accidentally added to the group chat.
02:33:15.000The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, the newspaper.
02:33:37.000This is apparently the highest level talk between the critical elements in our Military-Industrial Complex, or the, I should say, State Department, Defense Department, planning out this strike, and they accidentally had a journalist eavesdropping and reading the entire conversation.
02:33:59.000It was the journalist, by the way, who discovered that this happened.
02:34:44.000It says, quote, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in an encrypted group chat that included journalists two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen.
02:34:56.000The editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, wrote that he was mistakenly added to the text chat on Signal by Michael Waltz, the national security advisor.
02:35:06.000Not only was the journalist inadvertently included in the group, but the conversation also took place outside of the secure government channels that would normally be used for classified and highly sensitive war planning.
02:35:18.000Mr. Goldberg said he was able to follow the conversation among senior members of President Trump's national security team in the two days leading up to the strikes in Yemen.
02:35:27.000The group also included Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
02:35:34.000At 11.44 a.m. on March 15th, Mr. Hegseth posted the operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons, and attack sequencing, said Goldberg.
02:35:49.000The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East.
02:36:04.000The Hegseth text on Saturday, it was mainly procedural and policy texting.
02:36:12.000And to be honest, he said, that sent a chill down my spine.
02:36:16.000Mr. Hegseth, said Goldberg, said that the first detonations in Yemen would be felt two hours hence at 1.45 p.m. Eastern Time, so I waited in my car in a supermarket parking lot.
02:36:28.000If this signal chat was real, I reasoned, Houthi targets would soon be bombed.
02:36:33.000At around 155, initial airstrikes hit buildings and neighborhoods in and around the capital of Yemen that were known Houthi leadership strongholds, according to Pentagon officials and residents.
02:36:45.000Mr. Hegseth, said Goldberg, declared to the group, which included the journalist, that steps were taken to keep the information secret.
02:36:53.000He said, we are currently clean on OPSEC, using the military acronym for operational security.
02:37:00.000Several Defense Department officials expressed shock that Mr. Hegseth had put American war plans into a commercial chat group.
02:37:06.000They said that having this type of conversation in a signal chat itself could be a violation of the Espionage Act.
02:41:01.000And then you wonder why that might be.
02:41:03.000And I think about specifically there was an exchange.
02:41:05.000So let's talk about the strikes in general.
02:41:10.000After the Gaza ceasefire fell apart at the beginning of this month, Israel began bombing Hamas and ostensibly all Palestinians again in Gaza.
02:41:22.000The Houthi rebels in Yemen began bombing shipping in the Red Sea.
02:42:09.000And now we're involved in what is effectively an open-ended conflict with no end in sight in Yemen, which has a very high likelihood of potentially spinning out of control and expanding into other conflicts like in Iraq or in Iran or elsewhere.
02:42:27.000So when the strikes happened, there was a lot of backlash.
02:42:31.000And people said we didn't elect Trump to bomb Yemen.
02:42:34.000As a matter of fact, we elected Trump so that we would stop bombing countries in the Middle East.
02:42:39.000That's why we elected him the first time also.
02:42:42.000Well, inside these text messages, there's a text from J.D. Vance.
02:42:47.000Out of the whole group, you have Walsh, you have Rubio, you've got Miller, you've got a bunch of other people, you've got Vance.
02:42:54.000Out of the whole group, Vance is the only one that expresses any degree of skepticism.
02:43:01.000He's the only one that second guesses the strikes.
02:43:05.000And Vance says, well, I'm not going to say anything publicly.
02:43:10.000I'll go along with it, he says, but I think we should wait.
02:43:14.000He said 3% of the trade that goes through the Strait of Hormuz, or excuse me, the Suez Canal, he said 3% of that trade is American, 20% of it is European.
02:43:26.000He said, it's not really our business.
02:43:28.000He said, I don't want to bail out the Europeans again.
02:43:39.000This isn't America first, he's effectively saying.
02:43:43.000He says, but I'll go with it if this is what the president decides.
02:43:48.000And Pete Hegseth comes in and says, yeah, I'm sick of the freeloaders too, but this is about freedom of navigation and this is about sending a message and this and that.
02:43:59.000The only concern that they express, by the way, is that Saudi Arabia might be affected.
02:44:06.000This is something I've talked about on the show a lot.
02:44:09.000The risk of escalation with the Houthis is that the Houthis will re-engage Saudi Arabia.
02:44:16.000The Houthis were in a brutal war with Saudi Arabia for years.
02:44:21.000And the reason this was problematic for the United States is because the Houthis were bombing Saudi Arabia's oil fields.
02:44:29.000And so if missiles from the Houthis are raining down on Saudi Arabia, this is not good for foreign investment.
02:44:36.000Saudi Arabia is trying to attract investment.
02:44:39.000They're trying to translate their oil wealth into long-term prosperity.
02:44:47.000It sends oil prices skyrocketing because it harms their ability to produce and export oil.
02:44:53.000So the Houthis previously were targeting two pressure points for the United States, Israel, and Europe.
02:45:00.000In the past year, they've been targeting Red Sea shipping.
02:45:04.000But since Biden forced a truce between Saudi Arabia and Yemen and took the Houthis off the terrorist...
02:45:11.000The state sponsors of terrorism list or terrorist watch list, they were at war with Saudi Arabia and they were putting pressure on us by bombing Saudi Arabia's oil fields.
02:45:21.000That was the only concern that Vance expressed.
02:45:24.000He said, well, we just need to make sure the Saudis are taken care of.
02:45:28.000He said, I don't think we should do it.
02:45:30.000Our trade isn't really affected that much.
02:45:33.000He said, I'm just concerned about, and what about Saudi Arabia?
02:45:52.000Saudi Arabia was on their way to making a normalization deal with Israel where Saudi Arabia would establish a diplomatic relationship and recognize Israel.
02:46:01.000In exchange, they would get a defensive treaty with the United States, like a NATO-level security guarantee.
02:46:09.000Plus, they'd be brought into IMEC and attract a ton of investment.
02:46:15.000So Saudi Arabia, that was derailed after October 7th.
02:46:18.000They're waiting for all the Palestinians to be genocided.
02:46:21.000They're not going to do a thing about it.
02:46:23.000They're waiting for that to end so that then they can make a deal with Netanyahu and then get all the money.
02:46:29.000And J.D. Vance is worried about, oh, I hope this doesn't spill over into Saudi Arabia.
02:46:34.000And I almost wonder if the messages were leaked.
02:46:53.000I almost wonder if the messages were leaked to make Vance look good.
02:46:58.000I almost wonder if that was put out there so that Vance looks like he wasn't going along with it to sort of protect his reputation.
02:47:10.000To say, hey, look, Vance is sticking up for us.
02:47:15.000Vance is more America first than Trump.
02:47:17.000Trump and all these other guys want to go to war with Yemen, but Vance protested, and the only reason he went along with it was to be a team player.
02:47:25.000I almost wonder if it was leaked to make him look good.
02:47:27.000Or, conversely, I wonder if it was leaked to make Mike Waltz look bad.
02:47:34.000Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, He is the one that added the journalist to the group chat.
02:47:43.000So that means, by the way, that if he added the journalist, it's his responsibility.
02:47:48.000If there's an espionage act, if there's legal culpability, it's his fault.
02:48:57.000Is this to try to jettison somebody from the team?
02:49:03.000I think just based on what is inside the texts, the most obvious conclusion is either it was there to make Vance look good and Waltz look bad.
02:49:11.000Maybe it was created by someone from Vance's team, and that's why it makes Vance look good.
02:49:16.000Maybe it's by someone on Vance's team trying to get Waltz out, and in the process, it just happens to make JD look like the America First guy.
02:50:45.000National Security Council is like the most prestigious group.
02:50:49.000When you're talking about personnel in the White House and the administration, at the very bottom you have the BS departments like, I don't even want to say because I know People in some of them, but like, you know, you're talking about like the Department of the Interior and like Department of Agriculture.
02:51:06.000It's like Department of Transportation.
02:51:09.000There's not a lot of people that want to work in those departments.
02:51:13.000National Security Council is like the most prestigious position.
02:51:21.000You have to go into like a windowless room and you're just like doing policy all day.
02:51:26.000But... For personnel, that is like the dream job because that is how you climb your way up the ladder.
02:51:32.000Anything related to State Department, Defense Department, and anything that liaises with the White House, which is what the NSC does, it's prestigious.
02:52:01.000But none of this seems like it's authentic.
02:52:05.000There's something strange, maybe, but the idea that the vice president and the secretary of state and the secretary of defense created a group chat?
02:52:15.000And they're like, hey guys, ready to bomb Yemen?
02:52:18.000They're literally texting each other emojis during the bombing.
02:52:24.000Mike Waltz and Hegseth are literally texting emojis like muscle emoji, American bang emoji.
02:52:30.000They're literally texting strings of emojis while the strikes are going on.
02:52:35.000Somehow I don't think that's, for one reason or another, I don't think that's real.
02:52:40.000They're on an encrypted third-party messaging app.
02:53:24.000Like I would imagine it's the Tucker Carlson types.
02:53:27.000It's people like Kurt Mills was talking about it.
02:53:29.000Kurt Mills has been around these guys forever.
02:53:33.000They are all very anti-Waltz and have been talking badly about Waltz.
02:53:37.000You also have imminently potentially a war with Iran that they're trying to stop.
02:53:42.000You almost wonder in this, like, very critical time, is this a very bold attempt to oust him from the inner circle to replace him with somebody from a different faction?
02:53:56.000I wonder if that's what's happening here.
02:54:09.000But we'll have to wait and see what else comes out, if there's any more information about how this came to be, if we get any more public comments, if there's any fallout.
02:56:25.000You know, people are like—and look, respectfully, somebody said the other day I was hating on people from the trades.
02:56:33.000I like people from the trades, but we're involved in a political movement during technological singularity.
02:56:42.000What we need are like a cadre of like bureaucrat types, political lawyer types, people that know that if you could— That could be plugged into government and work well?
02:56:57.000Like, when we're talking about filling up the White House, who do you think we're talking about filling the White House with?
02:57:02.000We're talking about we want to get our personnel in the White House.
02:57:07.000You know, the White House doesn't need a ton of tradesmen.
02:58:00.000I mean, you could either be independently wealthy from your own industry, but the big thing, what's really influential, are these industries that are close to the government, which is tech.
02:58:13.000The industries that are closest to the government is national security, defense, and that's all tech right now.
02:58:21.000I mean, in the old days, it was like Lockheed Martin.
02:58:25.000As time goes on, it's going to be Anderil.
03:06:35.000The twist is at the end, he was always carrying around the milk stool, because one day he was going to get up on it and kiss the tall girl.
03:07:06.000Feeling energized at late hours compared to conventional sleep times is consistent with being a night owl or delayed sleep-wake phase disorder.
03:07:10.000It is considered a normal human variant in circadian rhythm unless it causes significant dysfunction in life.
03:09:11.000You know when you get onto the entrance ramp onto the highway and it's during rush hour and you get on the entrance ramp and you just see fucking a million cars with their taillights on just like moving a little and then stopping?
03:09:30.000That sight is just like I think I would rather see the Grim Reaper.
03:09:36.000I think I would rather see like Falling off of a fucking building.
03:09:40.000I think I would rather see, like, a great white shark headed for me than see that.
03:09:47.000Like, it's daytime, it's too bright, and then you get on the entrance ramp and then you just see fucking a million cars and you're just like, oh my gosh, like, I'd rather be dead right now.
03:18:01.000He didn't know what the Hard Seller Act was.
03:18:04.000He literally didn't know what the hard sell or how do you have a debate with somebody on immigration they don't even know like one of the most important immigration laws in the past hundred years so it wasn't even it's not even fair to call that a debate it was more like a teaching session.
03:21:50.000I just watched many videos of this Chinese guy posting China better YouTube shorts.
03:21:53.000It's clearly propaganda and the comments are full of self-hating Americans saying in America this would cost $500 some gay exaggerated number.
03:21:58.000Why is nationalistic self-hate so prevalent?
03:22:02.000Why are people commenting on videos saying they don't like America?
03:23:05.000The cost of living is super high and we have to live with these animals that are, and by the way, like a big part of why things are expensive is to avoid them.
03:23:30.000You can't go to public school or send your kids to a public school.
03:23:33.000You can't live in the city and walk to the park or enjoy any kind of free amenity.
03:23:42.000Anything that isn't super expensive, you can't enjoy.
03:23:44.000Because it's being ruined by these fucking people because the mayors are all black and you can't enforce the laws against the black people or anybody for that matter.
03:23:57.000And so, you know, we live in this like bubble society where you basically have to stay inside a bubble to avoid the consequences of diversity.
03:24:14.000And you have to travel to other bubbles.
03:24:16.000You have to live in a bubble, which is your white suburb or white building, you know, like a super high HOA to avoid diversity, to literally price the diversity away from you.
03:25:04.000And you have to pay all this money because you step outside of it and it's anarchy.
03:25:10.000You know, I was thinking about this the other night.
03:25:13.000I was driving around the city and I was thinking about the fact that if you go to any gas station or convenience store, what are you going to find?
03:25:24.000If you go to a convenience store late at night, who's going to be behind the counter?
03:27:25.000And it's like unthinkable, but it's really not crazy.
03:27:30.000Like, all these convenience stores and gas stations, they're all run by, it's like an ethnic clan.
03:27:37.000It's like a big ethnic clan, and it's all in the family, you know?
03:27:40.000The Indians, they all run the gas stations, convenience stores.
03:27:43.000I mean, is it inconceivable that it'd be a big white family, a big Irish family, a big Polish family, or some other kind of family running the stores?
03:28:06.000And you think about how much more empathy there would be in society if the people running the fast food restaurants, the diners, the convenience stores, imagine if they looked like your parents and you looked like their kids.
03:28:23.000How much more empathy there would be in the world.
03:28:26.000If you saw your mother or father in the people that worked at the 7-Eleven and they saw in you their children or grandchildren or at the diner or at the mechanic or wherever, it would be fucking utopia.
03:28:41.000And instead, you know, we have like an alien planet.
03:29:05.000And so everywhere they go, conceivably, and it's not to say that, hey, every white person's like a nice person, but it is to say that there's more of a spirit of looking after one another, seeing your...
03:29:22.000Fellow countrymen as part of an extended family, as opposed to, like, you know, someone from some alien place, they don't give a fuck about you.
03:29:32.000Oh, look, some white person, fuck them.
03:29:35.000Oh, it's some Indian running the store.
03:29:45.000And you look at the cities, like some of the videos coming out of, like, Chongqing.
03:29:50.000And Shanghai and elsewhere, it's like they do look like they're living in the future.
03:29:54.000And I know that's not probably a totally accurate representation, but I know people that have gone to China, and they say the streets are safe.
03:30:02.000They say women walk the streets at night.
03:30:04.000They feel perfectly safe because there's cops everywhere.
03:30:07.000They say there's cops on every street corner, and so it feels tyrannical, but it also feels safe.
03:31:37.000In a serious country, you'd have men with guns come in there and fucking round them up, and if they disobeyed, they'd just get fucking shot by the government.
03:31:46.000Like, that would be a serious country.
03:32:41.000I go on Monkey the Omegle clone a lot.
03:32:42.000And I talk to a lot of Africans from different countries and they all tell me the same thing, that the Chinese are bribing politicians in their country in order to legally mine and harvest resources.
03:32:48.000Also that it's dangerous to the local population.
03:35:53.000I got white pilled three weeks ago when I saw a good looking dude, mid 20s, nice suit in an Audi SUV listening to a video of yours in the car.
03:48:34.000Palantir's flagship product that the intel agencies use aggregates data from satellite imagery, bank records, phone data, and social media posts of people they're spying on.
03:48:40.000They named it Gotham, which is a fictional city notorious for its corruption from its police force to its politicians.
03:51:53.000I don't live in the South Side with the black people.
03:51:58.000You think I'm really with all the black people down there listening to drill music?
03:52:04.000I mean, at this point, in terms of like, if you're talking about the music, the music that comes out of Chicago is definitely more, I mean, it's all drill music.
03:52:16.000Chicago is known for drill music, so it probably is a little more Chief Keef influenced, I would think.
