Summary

In this episode, we go over Nick Fuentes' accusations about Israel and the Jews in the Tucker Carlson interview, which are mostly accurate, but leave out the context which is, but then if I am making a decision between the Vatican and those loyal to the Vatican, the Jews and the U.S., which is a more antagonistic partner to the United States, which has stabbed us in the back more frequently and more directly? And which is more useful long-term partner in terms of human civilization?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, Simone. I'm excited to be here with you today. Today, we are continuing from an episode
00:00:04.280 that went very long that was on Nick Fuentes. And as Nick Fuentes says, you've got to pick a side.
00:00:11.880 Is it the Catholics or is it the Jews? And in this episode, we're going to go over his
00:00:16.720 accusations about Israel and the Jews, which that he made on the Tucker Carlson interview,
00:00:20.600 which are mostly accurate, but they leave out the context, which is, but then if I am making
00:00:29.440 a decision between the Vatican and those loyal to the Vatican and the Jews and those loyal to Israel,
00:00:37.600 which is a more antagonistic partner to the United States, which has stabbed us in the back
00:00:43.140 more frequently and more, well, stabbed us in the face more directly when you're talking about the
00:00:47.500 Vatican. And which is a more useful long-term partner in terms of the future of human civilization
00:00:54.260 when we look at existing trends. And again, I'm saying all this, it's like Nick's broadly right
00:01:00.260 around most of the criticisms he has around Israel. And the biggest criticism he has, which is the one
00:01:06.360 that I agree most fervently with him on, is if you said, and if you watch our video before this on Nick,
00:01:14.600 that I strongly suggest, I think it's a great video if you are not familiar with American history and how
00:01:18.620 anti-Catholic America's founding was. It was essentially founded to be an anti-high church
00:01:22.900 country. Yeah, Malcolm blew my mind on this one because you'd think that we were taught that in
00:01:27.800 a school. No. No, it's why it's so ridiculous when he's like, America's a Christian nation. And I'm
00:01:32.940 like, you mean America's a Catholic nation? No, he said America is a Christian nation,
00:01:39.020 not a Judeo-Christian nation. A particularly comical claim when you consider the fact that of the 13
00:01:45.280 colonies, Catholics could only vote in two and Jews could vote in four to five of them. By the way,
00:01:51.280 free blacks could vote in 10 of them. We were much more explicitly anti-Catholic than we were
00:01:56.800 anti-Jewish. And I'm like, America is an anti-Catholic, anti-Anglican nation. Not just,
00:02:04.400 not a normal, it's a Christian nation founded in opposition to high church Christianity.
00:02:09.580 And very explicitly and very loudly with lots of receipts, with even a cardinal saying this,
00:02:15.440 you know, this is not like me or a conspiracy. This is mainstream. If you're familiar-
00:02:21.740 It is well attested. And Malcolm has the receipts go to that episode. It's very interesting.
00:02:26.780 So the reason why that episode was important for framing for this episode is I think some people,
00:02:32.200 when they try to do the sleight of hand, it's Catholics are just another form of Christian.
00:02:36.620 And it's like, that has never been true in American history. That's not true in terms of the value
00:02:42.560 sets of different Christian traditions. As we've talked about, if you, if you look at even their
00:02:48.180 metrics for truth, right, they are very different. And that difference has become important again,
00:02:53.840 very recently, where if you look historically, what was the Reformation about? It was a conflict
00:02:59.200 between two groups. One said that truth should be determined by people who spent their entire life
00:03:04.260 studying a subject. And then, so somebody couldn't just claim to be an expert on the subject certified
00:03:08.940 by a central authority. And then another group of people, which is a perfectly reasonable way of
00:03:12.820 doing things. Group of people came up and said, but that central authority could become corrupt.
00:03:17.520 So we should have truth determined by the individual, which is also a perfectly reasonable
00:03:21.780 retort, right? But this is also the exact same fight we had with COVID. And we saw during this fight,
00:03:27.720 the Catholic majority areas sided with the, like, which was the inner cities, which is where the
00:03:32.580 Catholics mostly settled, sided with the trust of people who spent their entire life studying this
00:03:36.820 subject. And then the Protestant majority areas settled with the, every decision should be made
00:03:42.200 by the individual, not declared experts, because those certifying institutions can become corrupt.
00:03:47.820 And, and what I'm pointing out here is that culturally Catholics are very, very different from other
00:03:53.580 Christian denominations. And so when people are like, oh, you got to be worried about the Jews.
00:03:58.160 To me, this is a bit like an elf whispering to me, you got to be worried about those dwarfs.
00:04:02.620 You know, they may be very industrious and good at metal crafting and making jewels. Oh my God,
00:04:09.080 are dwarfs? They're very stubborn. They remember things for a long time. They're very good with
00:04:17.660 engineering. One wrong, but right. But the great book of grudges remains full.
00:04:29.740 No, but I'm always sort of saying it this way. The dwarfs are the Jews and the Catholics are the
00:04:37.240 elves. And you can ally with both of them at the same time, but you've got to be aware that if one
00:04:42.960 of them then steps out and says, no, I refuse to be allied with you if you're allied with the other
00:04:46.720 faction, you've got to choose which one you're going to stay allies with.
00:04:50.200 Yes. And we, we need, we need to bring back Legolas and Gimli, you know, we can be friends.
00:04:54.440 And the reality is, is that Nick Fuentes is a minority Catholic opinion. Most Catholics are
00:05:00.020 okay with saying you can be allied with both the Catholics and the Jews. And if that's an option,
00:05:05.380 I want to be allies with both. Yeah.
00:05:07.100 Right. But if somebody comes out and says, you got to choose one America, I'm going to argue that
00:05:14.080 you'd have to be pants on head retarded to choose the Catholics given current demographic, economic
00:05:20.340 trends and their stated goals and their historic positions. So here's the Nick Fuentes quote.
00:05:27.320 Okay.
00:05:27.640 Israel hosts zero bases, sends zero troops during war, gives false intelligence, sells our secrets to
00:05:35.100 China, has no oil, spies on us, and is a diplomatic liability. U.S. gives infinite foreign aid and
00:05:41.860 weapons, fights their wars, brides their enemies, and covers their butt in the UN. Now, if you watch the
00:05:48.380 last episode, you'll know one thing here is just patently a lie, that the U.S. gives Israel infinite
00:05:54.540 money. And I pointed out that actually, if you look at Catholic majority countries and you look
00:05:59.540 at the average amount of aid we give to Israel a year, those numbers are not that different. We
00:06:03.860 give about the same amount of yearly aid to Catholic majority countries as we give to Israel on a yearly
00:06:08.580 basis. Then I note that, but it's actually way less money to Israel because almost all the money we
00:06:14.220 give to Israel, they have to spend in U.S. manufacturing jobs and arms and munitions, but almost all the money
00:06:19.480 we give to Catholic majority countries stays in those countries. So if we're weighing
00:06:24.380 the two, and better yet, when he says Israel is just a liability, consider an ally like Israel.
00:06:30.380 Israel gets in a skirmish with one of its rivals, right? Like they attack first, it handles the
00:06:35.920 situation. We donate an additional amount to them for one year. We had one year of high aid levels to
00:06:42.300 Israel, and then the next year it had gone back to almost normal aid levels. But even in that case,
00:06:46.500 the aid came with strings attached, meaning they had to like... Strings attached and it was all the
00:06:50.820 back to the United States. But the point here being is this is very different than like the Ukraine
00:06:54.480 or like really almost any other country we're allied with. Like no one else just gets it done
00:07:00.640 in the way that Israel has. But he is right about his other things here.
00:07:05.160 What's this selling stuff to China?
00:07:07.480 This is a real thing that happened in the 1970s, which we'll get to.
00:07:10.320 Oh, in the 70s.
00:07:11.760 It was a while ago when Israel was in a very different position then, and that's really
00:07:17.300 the caveat that we need to take this with. When we consider what the Catholic Church was
00:07:22.080 doing in the 70s.
00:07:23.500 Do you remember all of those communist and socialist republics you set up that had a goal of destroying
00:07:29.920 America around Latin America? All those revolutions and genocides you ran because Pepperidge
00:07:36.380 Farm remembers.
00:07:37.980 Catholics were involved with like...
00:07:40.220 Oh, the Catholics did a ton of communist and socialist revolutions.
00:07:44.320 We'll get into it. I have receipts.
00:07:47.180 Because they were really all about that stuff. I mean, they really, they were against the
00:07:53.180 communists in Russia because it was an atheist communist state and they were against the
00:07:55.900 communists in China because it was an atheist communist state. But they were broadly pro-communism.
00:08:01.540 Really?
00:08:01.780 With a Catholic flavor to it. So they were actually like a core geopolitical enemy of us in terms
00:08:11.240 of like actual wars, historically speaking. Now, I note that they were proxy wars, but they
00:08:18.840 were still wars. We were fighting proxy wars against the Vatican across Latin America and
00:08:24.360 we were fighting proxy wars against Russia across like East Asia and stuff like that. So, but
00:08:30.080 we've, we've conveniently forgotten about this. And Israel, what did they do? They just sold
00:08:35.140 some military tech. Like what? Somebody needs a forgive and forget session here. But let's
00:08:41.680 go to the zero troops during the war. Okay. Fuentes says Israel never sends troops to fight
00:08:46.640 along the US in its wars. This is true, but with a very big asterisk. Why do they not send
00:08:53.760 troops to fight alongside us in our wars? Do you know the answer to this, Simone?
00:08:59.520 I don't.
00:09:01.360 Because we ask them not to.
00:09:03.320 Wait, what? Okay.
00:09:04.980 Why is the US asking Israel to not send troops to fight alongside us in our recent wars?
00:09:13.820 Because since Israel became stable, basically since it had the capacity to send troops alongside us to
00:09:19.680 fight in our wars. Almost every one of our wars has been in the Middle East. Having Israel send
00:09:25.360 troops to fight alongside us when we are trying to, as one of the US's biggest diplomatic goals for the
00:09:32.480 past half century, normalize their relations with other Arab countries would be an absolutely
00:09:39.120 idiotic thing to do.
00:09:40.900 Kind of undo a lot of investment. Yes, that is true. Yeah. And as for Mossad spying on us, I mean,
00:09:46.400 they spy on everyone. We spy on everyone. Like what? I don't know.
00:09:49.680 Do you think we don't spy on Mossad? Like, I'm a little confused by that one, but we'll get to that.
00:09:53.760 Yeah, that one's weird. But I mean, why not throw it in if you're just trying to put together these
00:09:57.340 arguments? That's fine. But like, also, no one cares.
00:10:00.360 I want to steal, man. I want to take the maximalist Israel is bad position in this one,
00:10:04.900 because it's important to ask these sorts of questions.
00:10:08.400 Okay.
00:10:08.580 Like, if you're asking if Israel had actively decided to not send troops within any of our recent conflicts,
00:10:14.200 that would be a definite sign that they are not actually a very good friend.
00:10:18.420 But that is, that is not what happened. And you know, it's, it's, it's a shame. And I,
00:10:25.700 I don't even know if like Nick's aware of this, of why, like, it may just be that Ben Shapiro was
00:10:30.180 such a dick to him. As we pointed out, Ben Shapiro has basically created all of the anti-Semites.
00:10:35.040 Nick is completely justified in becoming an anti-Semite after what Ben Shapiro put him through.
00:10:40.620 Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire.
00:10:41.560 That's why Owens, we don't know everything, but she might be as well. We'll wait to see when
00:10:46.380 Brett Cooper starts coming about with anti-Semitic stuff.
00:10:48.980 Seriously, though.
00:10:51.140 Ben Shapiro seems to be, hey, Ben Shapiro's come after us too. He doesn't like our techno-puritan
00:10:55.580 nonsense. He thinks we're weirdo nerds. He doesn't like anyone other than him getting
00:10:59.340 popular in conservative spaces, especially any ideology other than him. But what I'm pointing
00:11:03.720 out here, so first of all, what I want to point out was all of this stuff is Nick Fuentes didn't
00:11:07.640 really get enough time to elaborate on any of these points. None of these points were
00:11:11.540 overstated so untruly that I think he is attempting to manipulate his audience using
00:11:15.960 information. I genuinely think that, and this is a big, like, when he states this, he is
00:11:24.160 speaking in good faith.
00:11:26.040 I think so. I think so.
00:11:27.660 That it is a conversation we need to be able to have, and this is my biggest problem with
00:11:31.080 Jews, is they will not let us have this conversation. Not all of them, obviously, but it only takes
00:11:36.500 a minority of people acting bad, a la Ben Shapiro.
00:11:39.220 Oh, so you're saying, like, there should be more of a conversation around Zionism that's,
00:11:44.360 like, actually functional, instead of just, like, it's good, it's bad.
00:11:47.480 He's talked about it! He brought it up!
00:11:49.420 I see.
00:11:49.880 Cancel! End his show!
00:11:51.460 Okay.
00:11:51.760 You know, and that was really effed up. And I think, honestly, Ben Shapiro needs to be
00:11:56.100 pilloried for this. When I heard what Nick Fuentes went through, I was like, Ben Shapiro is
00:12:01.120 the greatest threat to the Jewish people in America right now. Nick Fuentes is the right
00:12:08.120 kaya right now. I think that he is completely unhinged, what he did. It was completely unjustifiable.
00:12:14.620 Well, I mean, in short, basically, before, like, I think even when Nick Fuentes was either
00:12:20.220 in college or just recently out of college, a very young, burgeoning influencer, very small
00:12:25.600 platform, relatively, for where he is now at the time. So, like, not even someone that Ben
00:12:30.820 Shapiro should have been aware of, really. Yeah. Ben Shapiro sort of came at him.
00:12:35.980 Attending to destroy his life over and over and over again, getting him fired from multiple jobs.
00:12:41.720 Totally unwarranted. So, yeah, that just for, in case people are out of the way.
00:12:46.220 Milk toast takes often. Like, you know, and I think that my takeaway is I can see, I'm not even,
00:12:54.320 like, anti-Nick Fuentes, right? Like, I'm not, like, cancel Nick Fuentes or anything like that.
00:12:57.340 I'm, like, we have disagreements. Here's why. But I am, like, Ben Shapiro, we need to do something
00:13:02.880 about Ben Shapiro. And so I'll be calling Mossad to make sure they take care of the situation before
00:13:08.440 he creates any more anti-Semites. But anyway, let's keep going here. Let's, you were wondering
00:13:14.380 about the sale to China, right? So what happened here?
00:13:16.840 Oh, God. Sorry. Just small aside. Call Mossad. We keep asking our kids who they're going to call.
00:13:22.620 And obviously, it's the Ghostbusters. But yesterday, in complete earnestness, our six-year-old
00:13:26.940 son, Octavian, was like, what is their number? He was, like, really concerned. We, like, didn't
00:13:32.580 actually have their phone number. Like, we need to call Ghostbusters. But I could set up
00:13:37.940 a phone service with some vibe coding that'll do both. I was like, I'll do an AI that'll be
00:13:43.040 the Ghostbusters hotline for the kids. Please. Oh, my God. You want me to just, like, set that
00:13:46.960 up? I'm probably a dude. Fans can tell me if they want me to create an AI hotline that
00:13:51.280 pretends to be a Ghostbusters service. Or Mossad. No, just like, okay.
00:13:55.120 We'll be able to create that with the RFAB agent service, actually. Give them a, yeah.
00:13:59.400 Okay. Carry on. Sorry.
00:14:00.680 So there are documented instances of Israel doing this. It was often framed more as
00:14:05.720 unauthorized transfers or sales of U.S.-delivered military technology than outright, quote-unquote,
00:14:10.080 secrets in a spy novel since. Israel has repeated U.S. accusations of passing sensitive
00:14:15.380 American tech to China, dating back decades and causing diplomatic flare-ups. In the 1980s and
00:14:21.340 1990s, so a bit more recently, Israel sold China military hardware like missiles, radars, and
00:14:26.840 navigation systems, including tech derived from U.S. programs. And sorry to make you feel old,
00:14:31.700 but the 90s actually was a really long time ago. Yeah. For people who don't know, it's 2025 right now.
00:14:37.880 Okay. So this was 30-something years ago. Different time. Okay. Different time. No,
00:14:45.740 but what I'm saying is the people who were involved in these decisions are not still in power in Israel.
00:14:52.500 Yeah. Yeah. We're talking about the last or the generation before the generation
00:14:57.520 that we're dealing with today. The CIA specifically alleges that in 1993 that China had acquired
00:15:03.360 advanced U.S.-sourced tech for jet fighters and air-to-air military missiles via Israel worth
00:15:10.000 two to three billion in deals. This is totally a real thing that Israel actually did and was a
00:15:19.020 D move. Yeah. Not cool, Israel. Not cool. What the hell, man? Yeah. Hey. A major 1990s scandal
00:15:28.080 involved Israel selling China blueprints for the U.S.-funded Lavi fighter jet after canceling the
00:15:33.880 project, which included proprietary American avionics and engine tech. It's super not cool
00:15:39.560 because we were being bros at that time, too. You don't do that to your bros. Yes. There is one
00:15:44.700 recent instance of this tech transfer, but it's fairly small. In 2013, the U.S. expressed fury after
00:15:51.300 Israel transferred secret missile and electro-optics technology to China, violating our
00:15:56.240 agreements on end-use restrictions for U.S. aid. So these were technologies that we funded their
00:16:03.280 development of, but we said you're not allowed to transfer them to China if you develop them.
00:16:08.520 And they did, which is an absolute D move. Honestly, for me, like on a relational level,
00:16:15.520 I mean, I get that there's still enough aligned incentives where there's, there was a reason why
00:16:19.280 we obviously didn't cut ties with them entirely. But if this were like on a personal granular level
00:16:26.000 in our real lives and someone burned us like that, no, like absolutely our relationship is over.
00:16:31.340 So I can see that being a really serious issue. No, I can see that. The problem is, is that if the,
00:16:35.860 if the, if the opposite of the counter force, if you're having to choose between somebody who
00:16:42.200 occasionally screws you over and somebody who states that they hate everything that you're doing
00:16:48.720 and has an ultimate plan for your destruction and subjugation, that's, that's the difference
00:16:55.000 between the Vatican and Israel, which we'll get to because we're going to get to the, the Vatican
00:16:58.820 stuff in a second. It happens. Okay. Yeah. Well, no, I mean, this is, it's, it's, it's a,
00:17:04.120 like, I will not pretend that Israel. And what I actually even like about Nick Fontes's position
00:17:08.340 is the thing that he didn't mention, which he could have mentioned, which is also a true incident,
00:17:12.360 but I guess he didn't mention it because it's sort of like maybe not as hard as some of the other
00:17:17.060 incidents he rattled off was the destruction of the American warship by Israel during, I forget
00:17:23.400 which conflict that was, but there is some evidence that it may have been deliberate, you know,
00:17:27.360 killing us military personnel. Why would they be interested in doing that? Conspiracy theorists
00:17:35.120 have a reason that's pretty stupid. I think it was an accident. I think I, I, I really can't like
00:17:41.140 when I look at the reasons, it just doesn't seem, even if they were going to do it to be mean, like
00:17:47.480 to, to attempt to achieve some end, it doesn't seem worth the risk to me. It doesn't seem worth
00:17:52.520 the damage. It seems to me fairly odd, but most people believe that they did this. This is like,
00:18:01.440 you know, they, they, if you're taking an anti-Israel perspective, it's something that you
00:18:05.100 typically get in the bucket of anti-Israel perspectives. And I like, because a rational person
00:18:10.840 like me who looked at it wouldn't believe it, Nick didn't throw it out there. I do believe Israel
00:18:15.940 did act in a way that was antagonistic to Americans' interests with these tech transfers to China and
00:18:21.500 stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. That is, and I hadn't known about that before. I'm glad Nick.
00:18:26.140 But I want, I want to be clear. It is not like the 2013 one. If, if your impression is Israel had
00:18:34.060 spies who like stole secret military technology from the United States and then sold it to China,
00:18:39.900 that is not what happened. It is more like the U S and in this case, it appears for, for U S aid
00:18:46.280 was funding the development of specific weapons within Israel being developed by Israeli companies.
00:18:53.940 But in a condition of that aid was that they not sell this technology to anyone else. And then those
00:19:01.180 companies sold that technology to other people. This is not like somebody came into my house and
00:19:07.680 stole my stuff. It's like, I gave somebody some money and said, develop this, but I get exclusive
00:19:13.380 rights to sell it. Right. Or just, you know, and then they, they sell it to somebody else as well.
00:19:20.600 My stance on that still holds. Yeah. It's a, it's a, if someone does that, you can't trust them,
00:19:25.220 you know, but well, you can't trust Israel. Like this is, they're a foreign country with,
00:19:29.940 with goals that are antagonistic to America's goals, just as the Vatican has goals that are
00:19:35.800 antagonistic to America's goals at times. And this is what I'm trying to pull out here.
00:19:40.500 Israel is not monstrous for acting like a foreign country, right?
00:19:44.360 Because they are a foreign country and they have their own.
00:19:47.380 They are a foreign country. The U S spies on Israel as well, probably less competently,
00:19:53.000 but the U S spies on Israel as well, right? The U S does things that F over Israel as well, not
00:19:59.680 as severely as Israel has done to us, but we have done things that have F'd them over.
00:20:04.540 Now let's go to the gives false intelligent one here.
00:20:07.580 So I'm not going to go overly deep into things here, but we have the 1956 Suez crisis.
00:20:13.000 We have the 1975 reassessment crisis. We have the 1981 AWAC sale to Saudi Arabia.
00:20:19.140 We have the 1982 Lebanon war and arms restrictions. We have the 1991 loan guarantees dispute.
00:20:26.000 We have the 2014 halt on hellfire missiles. We have the 2016 UN security council resolution 2334.
00:20:33.420 This episode is already long enough, so I'm not going to go deep into every one of these.
00:20:36.880 I need to change a diaper and get the kids and we can finish this later.
00:20:41.860 I'm doing Mongolian beef. I'm going to look up a recipe and prepare it.
00:20:45.580 We're taking the kids trick or treating.
00:20:46.840 The one thing with Mongolian beef is you're going to want to start early in the preparation process
00:20:50.680 of you're in the kids dinner with the marinade.
00:20:52.200 Okay. I will take a look at that.
00:20:55.400 Remember, it uses a lot of chives as well and we'll do it with rice and I love you to death
00:21:00.900 and you're a perfect wife. And I hope with this episode fun and...
00:21:04.860 Fascinating. I had no idea about that history with American Catholicism. So that is insane.
00:21:10.980 Really changes your perception of Catholicism than Catholics within modern America.
00:21:14.680 It does. But I also just feel like we're entering a new era where it isn't what it used to be.
00:21:19.620 It's like a new religion that is derived from Catholicism, but is no longer Catholicism.
00:21:26.380 I agree with that. I agree with that. But I think a lot of the original fears that the founders have
00:21:31.500 of having split alliances and allegiances is still very real.
00:21:35.640 I don't know. I don't know. That's up for debate. I think that the new version of Catholicism
00:21:43.500 feels more to me like early American colonies. Like, hey, we're going to go on our own and build
00:21:48.880 communities and build a city upon a hill. I feel like the cities upon the hill that I'm excited
00:21:52.940 about are Catholic communities in many senses in the United States. So I kind of disagree with you,
00:21:58.900 but yeah. Gotta run. Gotta run. Love you.
00:22:02.660 You're amazing. You're amazing. And so the comments on the first Nick Fuentes episode,
00:22:09.580 I assume we got some pretty angry ones because we do have breakers as fans.
00:22:13.840 Yeah. Some of the Catholics were like, well, no, no, no, no, for like various reasons. I don't know
00:22:17.700 if you saw the unhinged email we got from. You can cure infertility. That was the first line. I was
00:22:23.440 just like, no, you can't. You not. There are some forms of infertility you can cure, but you can't
00:22:28.600 cure every form of infertility. Certainly not the type you suffered from, Simone.
00:22:34.080 No. Yeah, that was...
00:22:35.880 Like, like, I don't, I don't understand where these people come from, right? Like,
00:22:40.660 I'm like, come on, man. Like, at least approach us with like intellectual integrity. Don't just
00:22:46.000 tell me stuff that's like patently untrue. But no, that's, it reminded me of the reporter who came
00:22:52.280 at us and was like... Races have no differences. Oh, no, but there, yeah, well, there was the other
00:22:57.760 one who was like, there's nowhere in the U.S. where it's dangerous to be a white person. And I was
00:23:02.080 just... Oh, yeah. It's like a patently, obviously untrue thing. Like, why are you coming to us with
00:23:06.940 that? When I assume that a lot of Catholics in the comments are probably like, no, you can be a
00:23:11.880 Catholic and disagree with the Catholic bureaucracy as a... Yeah, that was some comments. Yes.
00:23:17.980 Yeah, but that's literally what Protestantism is. You can, you can believe everything that
00:23:23.880 Catholics believe and you can go to a Catholic church. But if you disagree with the organizational
00:23:29.280 structure, that was the beef that the Reformation had was the church.
00:23:33.840 Yeah, I think ironically, though, some maybe Catholic commenters didn't get that. They're
00:23:38.700 like, well, yeah, but Protestants also disagree with each other. And we're like, yeah, that's
00:23:41.720 kind of the point. Like, that's what they do. Yeah, we disagree with each other all the
00:23:45.180 time because we don't have a central authority telling us what to think. Yes, that is the
00:23:48.320 whole thing is that there isn't... That is the core concern I have with Catholicism is
00:23:54.620 that there is an external body to me which can define what my faith is, right? Like, that's
00:24:00.760 my problem with Mormonism as well. And if you deny that, then you are schismatic. You are
00:24:08.480 saying that you would refuse to, even if it went through, you know, a council at the Catholic church
00:24:15.720 or a said papal bull, something that disagrees with your personal faith, then you're already
00:24:21.000 schismatic in your heart, right? You know, you're already saying, well, I'll just flip from the church
00:24:25.200 the moment the church doesn't agree with my interpretation of Christianity, which it's a weird
00:24:33.300 sort of, like, limbo schismatic take. But I also understand what you're saying. Like, a lot of
00:24:37.700 Catholics in the US are, I think, unaware of, like, the specific... That's the thing, is we have a new
00:24:45.080 evolution of Catholicism in the United States, which is almost like a form of Protestantism, if you want
00:24:51.320 to be super technical about it, that is very grassroots, that is very independent, that's very
00:24:56.480 self-determined, and that isn't necessarily about top-down. No, I agree really strongly with you.
00:25:03.420 And I think that this form of Catholicism, I like this form of Catholicism. And that is probably the
00:25:07.020 form of Catholicism to which Nick Fuentes adheres, maybe without fully acknowledging it, maybe even to
00:25:13.000 himself. But, like, I do think that's more what he represents. And people chiming in in the comments
00:25:18.400 also said that they, as followers of Nick Fuentes, who, like, actually watch his streams a lot,
00:25:24.260 have not at any point seen him express Catholic integralist views. Though I know you say, like,
00:25:30.080 AI says back and forward, like, he is one, but... Yeah, but I was like, but hey, I did the research.
00:25:34.520 I said I couldn't find anything where he said it explicitly. But there's also nowhere where he says
00:25:38.980 he's not that. So that's the problem, is that, like, until we can get him on Basecamp and talk with
00:25:44.540 him... Yeah, about, like, what his long-term plan for society is. But I think that what he represents,
00:25:49.640 and what we're seeing with a lot of Catholics among our fans, or within even the US,
00:25:53.820 more broadly, and these are the Catholics who are having a lot of kids, and are, like, actually
00:25:59.640 have a chance of surviving, is there's sort of this, we disagree with the Vatican, we disagree
00:26:06.020 with the central bureaucracy, but we're not going to make a stink about it. And we're just going to
00:26:11.280 create a Catholic identity that is more focused on the aesthetics of Catholicism, rather than the
00:26:17.200 technical bureaucracy of Catholicism. Well, what's funny, too, though, and we've seen this in comments,
00:26:22.660 is that there are also very papist Catholics, who very much want to be a part of this top-down
00:26:30.640 Vatican City-based hierarchy, but also don't acknowledge the current regime, which I think
00:26:35.820 there's a long historical basis for this, right? Like, all the different schisms and different,
00:26:39.400 like, oh, well... And usually those lead to, like, schisms.
00:26:43.320 Yeah. But what I find is interesting is, is at least the one, the Catholicism that will replace
00:26:50.340 Catholicism, the future of Catholicism is very grassroots, and I don't, I don't, I wouldn't say
00:26:55.420 it's accurate to say they disagree with Vatican City. I would say that they are indifferent to it,
00:27:01.100 that they use it as a resource when they want it, and they don't when they don't. It's almost like
00:27:04.880 how Americans kind of view the American government.
00:27:06.660 I completely agree with you. They are indifferent to it, but that it's, it's, they're indifferent to
00:27:11.680 it enough that it doesn't cause them to, like, be like, okay, well, now I need to think, does the
00:27:15.760 word Catholic actually still apply to me? Because they just don't care. Like, they're like...
00:27:19.260 Well, no, but just think about the way that we feel about America, right? Like, we're proud to be
00:27:23.240 Americans. We, we're team America, but we're not like, you know, we, we don't, you know, bow down to an
00:27:30.680 American flag every morning. We're not like, well, the president said this, and we have to...
00:27:33.660 This is, no, this is a terrible analogy, because as an American, right, like, I am not taking a vow
00:27:40.600 when I claim to be, like, a nationalist American or something like that, that my theology is defined
00:27:46.280 by what the president says, specific circumstances. Oh, okay. The only thing that makes a Protestant
00:27:52.220 a Protestant and a Catholic a Catholic is a Catholic follow the beliefs of the councils, and they believe
00:27:58.320 in apostolic succession, and when the Pope says things under specific circumstances, those are
00:28:04.120 now the word of God. Yeah, that's true. When you pledge allegiance, it's to the Republic. It's not
00:28:08.400 the president. It's not any administration. It's not any single politician.
00:28:13.300 Right, but there's a new form of Catholic that doesn't believe that these things are part of
00:28:17.800 Catholic identity, and it's more just like the vibe. And this is actually, like, Nick Fuentes'
00:28:22.320 larger thing here, which I find really fascinating, is I always point out, you know, he'll go out there
00:28:27.760 and he'll be like, you know, we need to take back America from these foreign minorities. And as we
00:28:33.220 argued in yesterday's episode, I'm like, there were, like, no Catholics that America's founding.
00:28:37.520 It was founded as an anti-Catholic state. Oh, and someone in the comments even chimed in saying
00:28:42.320 that there was this hilarious book he found at one point in the library where a Catholic mooned about
00:28:47.940 the, in 1913, this book was published, like, was mooning about the idea of maybe someday there
00:28:53.080 will be Catholics in the Senate. Just like that, like, could it be possible? Right. Like, this glass
00:28:57.960 ceiling. But there was so much, you know, Catholicism. Yeah, but the point I was making
00:29:03.400 here was that Nick Fuentes, he's like, we need to get rid of this foreign element in the United States
00:29:08.320 that the founding fathers didn't want here, that et cetera. And he is part of that minority. Like,
00:29:13.660 as I've always said, if you're getting a three-course dish in American history,
00:29:16.300 and one course is anti-Black racism, and one course is anti-Semitism, the third course is
00:29:21.280 always anti-Catholic sentiment. And it almost reminds me, like, he's like Bugs Bunny, and it's
00:29:25.560 like hunting season. And he's like, it's not Catholic season, it's Jew season. And then the
00:29:31.560 other one's like, no, it's Catholic season. But with Daffy Duck. Yeah. But the funny thing is,
00:29:36.980 is he's like, well, we need to get all of this, these Catholics together, all these conservative
00:29:40.740 Catholics together, and impose our will on America, right? Like, make America a country of
00:29:45.640 our color, right? And what's really wild to me is Catholics make up 20% of the U.S.'s population.
00:29:54.780 They are shrinking in terms of birth rate dramatically quickly. They are shrinking-
00:29:59.460 Well, but, like, mainstream ones, not these, like, grassroots communities.
00:30:04.040 No, no, no. They're shrinking in terms of deconversions very quickly. So just so you know,
00:30:07.920 in terms of the numbers here, for every one person who converts to Catholicism, 8.4 adults
00:30:14.060 leave the faith. For every one person who converts to Protestantism, 1.8 leave the faith.
00:30:19.700 So it's a faith that's in an incredibly weak position right now, basically across all positions
00:30:25.920 in terms of, like, societal dominance. And he's acting like it's the dominant viewpoint of Americans,
00:30:32.440 or even of conservatives. And it's this sort of LARP, which he also has with the Vatican,
00:30:38.000 where he has this LARP that I think that the Vatican or that the Central Catholic bureaucracy
00:30:42.220 agrees with his position on things like immigration, or things like, you know, they've basically written
00:30:47.720 a whole thing, which we'll get into in this episode, where they basically denounce him,
00:30:51.720 you know, and specifically Catholic integralism and sort of nationalist Catholicism.
00:30:56.680 And especially as it's growing within the US, which I mean, who else are they talking about?
00:31:01.940 But what's interesting is, like, Nick Fuentes' worldview works, because he pretends that most
00:31:08.040 Americans are like him, and he pretends that the Vatican agrees with him, and that this makes his
00:31:13.780 worldview cohesive, where if you look at the world as it actually exists, the Conservative Party could
00:31:18.660 only win as an alliance of many different groups, one of those groups being Catholic. But to pretend
00:31:24.600 that these groups aren't actually different is a Trojan horse in American Christianity,
00:31:30.820 more broadly, you know, like trying to push Catholicism into the Protestant traditions that
00:31:36.420 America grew is, is, I think, quite insidious. And I think that a lot of conservatives thought that
00:31:42.100 they were just playing nice, as you know, I always do. And I think we need to be honest that
00:31:46.660 these are different religions, right? They actually have, I would argue that, like, theologically,
00:31:51.220 if you look at our, for example, iteration of, like, Technopuritanism, which is, like,
00:31:54.660 Calvinism mixed with science, it is closer to many forms of Judaism, or even some forms of
00:32:01.420 Mormonism, than it is to Catholicism. This idea that Protestantism and Catholicism are very close
00:32:06.300 in their beliefs is just not, it's not anymore, right? Or at least a lot of Protestant factions,
00:32:13.200 right? Yeah. And, and, but anyway, I'll get started on the episode here.
00:32:16.620 Let's go.
00:32:19.340 So, coming back in, after we just went over all the text stealing and everything like that,
00:32:23.980 and I was like, that's terrible that they did that. I want to go into conspiracies, right? So,
00:32:28.280 we talked in the last episode about how Catholics basically dominate the Supreme Court because
00:32:31.800 an invitation-only society, which does have closed doors meetings, so a secret society,
00:32:36.320 the Federalist Society, basically put Catholics in charge of one-third of our government.
00:32:40.900 They're so cool, though. Can you even be mad?
00:32:43.200 I can be mad because they pretend that they're promoting conservative values when they're really
00:32:48.820 controlled by Catholics and disproportionately promote Catholics.
00:32:51.700 Well, they're Catholic conservative values.
00:32:54.280 No, that's not what they tell their donors. That's not what they tell the public.
00:32:57.640 They are, it is a shady thing that's happening. Now, I like that they're on our side. I prefer,
00:33:05.500 you know, if there's conservative Jews who are putting Jews in positions of power and promoting a
00:33:10.520 conservative message, I'm like, okay, you're on our side, whatever, right? And there's conservative
00:33:15.700 Catholics who have gotten together and put Catholics in a position of power, as long as they aren't
00:33:18.760 sabotaging us, which they're not so far. I'm like, okay, that's great, right? And speaking of
00:33:22.780 conservative Jews, we watched Ben Shapiro's basically, like, fall out from this, where he just goes,
00:33:28.600 not so, but so, but hurt about the Tucker Carlson, how Tucker Carlson is ruining America,
00:33:34.180 and shows all these whiny, whiny clips about Nick Fuentes, which is like, look, I caught him.
00:33:39.600 I caught him. I caught him saying the thing. A guy who streams for multiple hours a day said
00:33:45.700 something offensive once. And if you look at, like, the things that he thinks he caught him on,
00:33:49.980 a lot of them is just, like, true stuff that anyone being honest would say. Like, the first one he runs
00:33:56.060 is Nick saying, and I think he could have chosen his wording better, that some women like
00:34:00.900 to get great. And what I think he meant to say, which we point out in our book on sexuality,
00:34:07.320 human sexuality. And I've brought up on our podcast multiple times.
00:34:10.520 What? Something we've also brought up on our podcast.
00:34:13.040 There are a large percentage, like a very meaningful percentage of women who get arousal
00:34:21.520 from imagining scenarios like this. It doesn't necessarily mean they want it to happen to them.
00:34:26.400 Obviously, in a minority of cases, that is likely true. And people will be like,
00:34:30.900 oh, that's because men scrambled their brain. I'm like, Fifty Shades of Grey did not become
00:34:35.020 a bestseller because women wanted to show off to their husbands. I don't go to Barnes & Noble
00:34:40.060 and see an entire monster effer aisle. Sorry, not one. I'd say it's like half of like the women's
00:34:46.440 fiction section is about women effing monsters. Okay? This is not because of men. You can watch our
00:34:53.200 episode on what we think led to this. But the point being is like, men, you can't do this
00:34:58.740 anymore. You can't go out there and cherry pick a few things and then show them to your audience
00:35:04.500 and think your audience is going to be like, oh, yeah, you know, that, that, that, what? He said
00:35:10.620 the naughty thing. Now he's off the air. He said the naughty thing. And that you think that that's
00:35:15.040 still okay means you don't really have a part in the modern conservative movement. Because the modern
00:35:20.120 conservative movement is an anti-pearl clutcher movement. And when you come out there and you're
00:35:24.020 clutching your pearls, like little diva. Well, I think the bigger problem is that the conservative
00:35:30.840 movement and the new right have really succeeded because they're big tent. And a big problem that
00:35:36.840 he has is he's little tent. He wants people out of his tent. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Ben Shapiro.
00:35:43.560 Ben Shapiro and Nick Fuentes. Ben, well, no, Nick, Nick, Nick Fuentes is off the reservation.
00:35:49.340 He's just doing his own thing. He's not any need to. Yeah, he's literally off the reservation.
00:35:52.940 Yeah, there's, there's no, he's, he's out, no shelter, just, you know, free ball on it.
00:35:58.720 But yeah, no. Ben Shapiro actually reminds me of Lemongrab from Adventure Time.
00:36:02.580 Just like, no!
00:36:08.140 Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable!
00:36:12.720 Well, I don't know. My primary issue with him is that he, he tries to exclude people, but also from
00:36:23.580 this position of being superior and like morally superior and high and mighty. And I, I'm okay
00:36:31.860 with trash. I love trash talk. I think trash talk is great. I think doing it from a position of moral
00:36:36.660 superiority instead of like gamesmanship is tedious, but let's, let's carry on. Sorry.
00:36:44.280 Let's carry on. And when I will say, I, I, I do love it when people say things that are just meant
00:36:48.920 to freak out people like Ben Shapiro. Yeah, at this point now it's, yeah. When, when, when it's
00:36:54.600 tempted. Curtis Yarvin is the king of this. Nick Fuentes is like, I watched the Nick Fuentes offensive
00:37:00.280 clips and frankly, I found them boring. I, I love Curtis Yarvin' biodiesel line. You know, that, that
00:37:06.360 we, we'll turn Ben Shapiro and his types into biodiesel. You say something like that, and then
00:37:11.800 that gets clipped and people will be like, oh, he must mean the Jews. And I'm like, no, I'm talking
00:37:15.400 about the Pearl Clutchers. The Pearl Clutchers, we're done with this. Okay. That's no longer what
00:37:19.460 we're doing anymore. Okay. The people who are like, oh, you can't say this, that hurt my fee-fees.
00:37:24.280 What are they, you know, feels, right? Yes. Nick Fuentes punched him right in the feels.
00:37:29.540 That was inappropriate. But anyway, to continue here, I now want to talk about conspiracies. Okay.
00:37:35.620 So let's talk about the Jews controlling Hollywood, right? Because people will be like, well, look,
00:37:39.580 the Jews take power within organizations and then use those organizations to shape society. Right?
00:37:45.020 So let's look at how the Jews do this and contrast this with how the Catholics do it. Because a lot
00:37:49.760 of people don't know that the Catholics also do this. Let's use Hollywood as the example here,
00:37:54.740 because it's the one that always, people always take to. Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who
00:37:58.260 face discrimination and established industries gravitated towards the nascent film business in
00:38:03.480 the early 20th century. Many of the big six studios were founded or co-founded by Jews.
00:38:07.920 Warner Bros. established by the four Warner Brothers, Polish Jewish immigrants. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
00:38:13.360 MGM, was founded by a Belarusian Jew and a Polish Jew. Paramount Pictures founded by a Hungarian Jew.
00:38:21.320 Universal Pictures founded by a German Jew. Wow.
00:38:24.100 Columbia Pictures founded by the son of a German-Russian Jewish immigrant. And then 20th
00:38:30.220 Century Fox was founded by a Hungarian Jew and a Russian Jew. So the Jews really did found almost
00:38:36.520 every major studio in the United States, except for Disney. And Disney, of course, famously did not
00:38:42.660 like the Jews very much.
00:38:44.580 Well, he didn't. I don't know.
00:38:45.880 We should do the funny...
00:38:47.080 What the hell? What's happened to us? I don't
00:38:52.000 know, but suddenly I feel all sweet and warm and fuzzy. It seems we're in a universe where
00:38:57.180 everything is drawn by Disney. Look, there's our house.
00:39:04.040 Look how gaily we run.
00:39:05.840 Oh, Stewie and Brian, you're just in time for pie.
00:39:15.000 This is wonderful, Brian. Oh, let's live in this universe.
00:39:18.500 Hello, everybody.
00:39:20.200 Jew!
00:39:22.960 Oh, yeah, I forgot. This is a Disney universe.
00:39:30.680 Oh, but look how shiny my buttons are here.
00:39:32.880 Just push the...
00:39:33.420 Yeah, yeah, okay, okay. I'll push the finger.
00:39:35.060 Yeah, he was not a fan of the little hat people. But I imagine it's because he was in an industry
00:39:40.800 that was completely dominated by Jewish people at the time, and even today. And by the way,
00:39:46.300 2008 poll noted that now only 22% of Americans believe that Jews, quote unquote, run Hollywood,
00:39:52.800 whereas this number was 50% in 1964. But it was actually like functionally true. Most of the
00:39:58.520 people running Hollywood were Jewish. Also, you didn't have a lot of criticism.
00:40:03.420 Judaism of Jews or the Jewish experience coming out of Hollywood during this period of Jewish
00:40:08.120 dominance. So let's look at the facts here. Jews at least did control Hollywood, and you
00:40:14.440 today have outside influence in Hollywood. Why do they have the outside influence in Hollywood?
00:40:19.700 It's because they built it. They built it. They're the reason why America has all of the
00:40:25.780 soft power we have.
00:40:26.640 Blaming the Jews for influence in Hollywood is like blaming the patriarchy for building
00:40:31.140 the world.
00:40:32.340 Right? Yeah, it's like, well, you weren't doing it, okay?
00:40:34.780 Yeah, like...
00:40:36.160 You're welcome.
00:40:37.360 What do you want?
00:40:38.020 You know, it's really much like...
00:40:38.940 So what I believe you were trying to say is thank you.
00:40:43.000 Thank you?
00:40:43.640 You're welcome.
00:40:44.640 What? No, no, no. I didn't... I wasn't... Why would I ever...
00:40:48.120 Right? It's like, yeah, I built it, and now I run it, and I discriminate in favor of my
00:40:52.680 own people, as we all should. Sorry, I'm not saying we should discriminate in favor. I'm
00:40:57.860 saying as we should all be able to if we have a preference for it, okay?
00:41:02.300 This is what, you know, what is that? Kwanzaa is about, for example.
00:41:07.440 Oh, yeah, supporting Black-owned businesses.
00:41:09.440 Shopping Black-owned businesses, right?
00:41:10.900 You know, that's not illegal, or it might be within some circumstances, but anyway, so
00:41:15.080 Jews control Hollywood because they developed one of America's strongest cultural tools.
00:41:21.140 Has Hollywood been corrupted since its founding? Absolutely. But the corruption of Hollywood
00:41:27.060 has actually correlated with a decrease in Jewish control over Hollywood.
00:41:31.580 Not Jewish enough.
00:41:33.260 Not an increase in Jewish control over Hollywood. In fact, I'd argue it really just comes downstream
00:41:38.960 of the urban monoculture and parts of Jewish culture being corrupted more quickly, but
00:41:43.400 these parts are dying out anyway because they don't have kids. All right, so Jews control
00:41:46.980 Hollywood, but they also built Hollywood, so we sort of owe them for that, and they're
00:41:51.000 disproportionately writers, comedians, and stuff like that. I think it was something
00:41:54.220 like 90% of comedians were Jewish in New York in, like, the 1970s. I can't remember
00:41:58.920 the exact statistic. But we also see this with, well, I'll get to this in a second.
00:42:02.800 Now, let's look at Catholics. Did you know that there was a Catholic institution that
00:42:07.480 basically controlled Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1980s in terms of what they produced?
00:42:12.520 So, yes, it had to align with Jewish interests.
00:42:14.700 Does this have to do with the whole, like, censorship and rating system thing?
00:42:18.900 It absolutely did. I feel like I've listened to podcasts about this.
00:42:20.920 The Legion of Decency's moral stranglehold. That was it, yeah.
00:42:25.400 In stark contrast, Catholic groups actively controlled Hollywood's moral output through
00:42:29.820 organized pressure, ensuring Catholicism was depicted in glowing, uncritical terms.
00:42:35.680 The key player was the Catholic Legion of Decency, founded in 1933, renamed the National Catholic
00:42:42.400 Office for Motion Pictures. Oh, the Legion of Decency sounds so much better.
00:42:47.380 You know, right? Branding problems. Come on, guys.
00:42:49.680 1965, where traded films on a scale from A, morally unquestionable, to C, condemned, and
00:42:55.680 mobilized... Well, Catholic terminology is so great.
00:43:00.800 I agree. Condemned.
00:43:02.220 And mobilized boycotts via pledges taken by millions of Catholics and churches.
00:43:08.220 That's reasonable. I like this.
00:43:10.380 In the 1950s, working with the motion picture production code, Hays Code, enforced from 1934
00:43:15.600 to 1968, the Legion demanded positive portrayals of religion, specifically Catholicism. Clergy
00:43:21.640 could not be villain. Priests and nuns were invariably heroic, virtuous, and wise, e.g. being
00:43:27.560 Cosby's affable father, O'Malley, Going My Way, 1944, and The Bells of St. Mary, 1945, with
00:43:34.500 Oscars even towing the line. Films mocking the church are showing flawed priests risked condemnation,
00:43:39.420 leading to edits or bans. For example, The Moon is Blue, 1953, was condemned for damn and
00:43:45.920 virgin, sparking debates by showing the Legion's power. Studios feared losing Catholic audiences,
00:43:52.560 estimated to be 20% of ticket buyers. And I'll note here, which is really cool, this is why
00:43:58.900 if you watch old movies, I don't know if you've ever noticed that there is a trope in an old
00:44:03.180 movie of a priest is given a confession, a Catholic priest, obviously, because that's a
00:44:08.100 confession. And the confession contains, like, the clues to, like, solving a murder or something
00:44:13.040 like that, or a guy is going to murder someone, and the priest upholds their vow and doesn't
00:44:19.760 tell anyone, but instead, like, goes out and, like, solves it himself or something. I mean,
00:44:24.300 it's like this classic thing that you see in a lot of movies from this time period, because
00:44:28.060 it was like, in no way can a priest be a bad guy during this period, specifically Catholic
00:44:32.860 priest. 1950s to 1980s, by the mid-1950s, challenges mounted EG Baby Doll 1956, which was condemned
00:44:40.460 but released, but the Legion persisted, shifting in the 1960s post-Vatican II to promote quote-unquote
00:44:45.640 good films rather than just condemn. It influenced the MPAA rating system introduced in 1968, replacing
00:44:52.660 the code, and continued ratings until the 1980s, when INCOMP merged into USCCB's Office for Film
00:44:59.840 and Broadcasting, fading it by the 1990s. Even then, it ensured sycophantic depictions, films
00:45:05.300 like The Nuns' Stories, 1959, idealized covenant life, while critical ones, e.g. The Cardinal in 1963,
00:45:12.480 still portrayed the church sympathetically to avoid backlash. So this is really important,
00:45:17.620 because what it shows is the ways that Catholics control things versus the ways that Jews control
00:45:22.780 things. Jews build things and out-compete other individuals and use that to control
00:45:29.000 organizations with a bit of nepotism on the side. Catholics have the same nepotism, but they do
00:45:35.120 it through blackmailing people who have built things other than themselves, right? Which is just
00:45:41.240 strictly worse.
00:45:42.360 And it actually did work. And I tried to go up a little. I wanted one time. And I just, like,
00:45:50.420 disappeared. Thank you, Dad, a lot.
00:45:55.600 Now, obviously, this isn't true of all Catholics, but we're talking about the way Catholic organizations,
00:46:01.480 when they have exerted influence in the past, contrasting with Jewish organizations when they've
00:46:05.780 exerted influence in the past, how they do it, right? Even if you look at today, like,
00:46:10.380 the big Jewish funding groups that are influencing politics, they do it through putting money into
00:46:15.880 politics, like putting money that they made and giving that to politicians. Not, well, except in
00:46:21.400 Ben Shapiro's case, as often threatening and blackmailing. Now, let's go to the next claim he
00:46:25.420 gave here. Gives false intelligence. Okay? So he says that Israel is a, you know, unreliable partner
00:46:31.700 because they gave false intelligence. So the incident in question here, in 2003, the Iraq WMD claim,
00:46:39.360 Israelio Intel did warn of an Iraqi WMD, e.g. curveball source was handled by Germany, not Israel. But
00:46:47.180 Israeli officials did push the threat narrative. U.S. Senate report 2004 found no evidence Israel
00:46:54.000 fabricated Intel. So this incident is just false. It was not pushed by Israel. The WMD stuff did not
00:47:00.780 come from Israel. It came from German Intel. And this was investigated. It's not accurate.
00:47:06.240 Now let's go to the next one here. Iran nuclear archive. Israel's Mossad stole 55,000 pages from
00:47:13.440 Tyran verified by IAEA as authentic. U.S. used it to exit GCPOA. But this was good Intel and it was
00:47:23.940 given by Israel. Okay, well, let's go to the next one. The Syrian reactor strike. Israel gave U.S.
00:47:29.320 precise Intel on North Korean built reactor. U.S. confirmed via satellite as accurate. Again,
00:47:34.640 it was accurate Intel. Real grievance is that Israel has withheld or shaped Intel into protected
00:47:41.560 forces, e.g. not sharing human on Hezbollah. So it's really not so much that Israeli ever gave us
00:47:48.840 provably false intelligence. It is that when they had intelligence that if shared with us
00:47:54.660 would cause us to act in a way that was against Israeli interests, they chose not to share it with
00:48:00.100 us. Wow. To which I must ask, do you think that the U.S. shares intelligence with Israel that would
00:48:06.320 cause them to act in a way that is unaligned with our interests? So basically Israel's not retarded.
00:48:13.880 Conspiracy? Yeah. And he has no oil. This is one of his claims. Therefore, they have no strategic
00:48:21.140 resources. Here's the problem. Israel has another strategic resource which is much more valuable
00:48:27.480 than oil. What is that resource? Simone, I'm going to see. Do you know the resource that Israel has
00:48:33.840 that is dramatically more valuable than oil? IP. Jews. Jews. It has Jews. I mean, even Palestine
00:48:43.160 has acknowledged that. That's why they're not going to kill them all. Yeah, what they said about the Gaza
00:48:46.580 was going. So the Gaza plan, when they went in and invaded, what they were going to do is they were
00:48:51.880 like, well, we also have to like enslave the population here because God knows our people can't
00:48:56.700 make an economy work. Right? Like even they were like, well, we got to keep them to make the money.
00:49:02.900 Of course. They didn't want to get rid of them. They wanted them to work for them. Right. And this is a
00:49:07.500 funny thing. You know, as we pointed out on the Leather Apron Club, you know, he did this thing where he goes
00:49:11.360 over something like 53% of the guests on Joe Rogan are Jewish. And it's like, yeah, because they
00:49:18.540 out-compete other groups within almost every profession. Like this is a big thing. Right.
00:49:25.580 And it's not just with nepotism. Right. Like it's clear that they can come over to our country,
00:49:30.460 lose everything, and then quickly create entire industries. Right. It reminds me, again, I've said
00:49:36.980 this before, but I see this as no different than when like BLM people are like whites are out-competing
00:49:41.920 us because they're cheating. And it's like, no, if you see a group out-competing you, like you should
00:49:47.220 be like, have the, have the humility to be like, maybe that group is doing something that I can learn
00:49:52.720 from or, or has some utility. Right. Like Catholics on the other hand, even Nick Fuentes is the first to
00:50:00.620 admit that we don't want any more Catholic immigrants into this country because he's the one who's always
00:50:04.720 complaining about the Hispanic immigrants who are predominantly Catholic, right? Like I would
00:50:11.100 not complain a lick if we got a big shipment of Jewish immigrants into this country, but I can see
00:50:16.600 why some people have concerns over the large waves of Catholic immigrants, because every time this
00:50:22.380 country, as I've mentioned in the past, you can watch our episode on why this is the case, has gotten a
00:50:25.960 wave of Catholic immigrants. It's come with organized crime, whether it's the Irish mob, Italian mafia,
00:50:30.380 you know, Mexican MS-13, you know, it's, it's just hand in hand. Right. And we talk about why this,
00:50:36.280 this happens, but it's not just that they're also less productive. It's, it's, they're like a,
00:50:41.300 if you look at Catholic majority countries, they are on the whole, you know, poorer and more corrupt.
00:50:46.820 When you look at areas with concentrations of Jews, they are typically wealthier.
00:50:52.340 Well, isn't there this weird bifurcation of Jews though? Like on, on the one hand, you have
00:50:58.020 the super high fertility Jews who don't really participate in the mainstream economy. And then
00:51:05.260 you have the offshoot low fertility Jews that are kind of self-extinguishing, but they keep getting
00:51:09.200 produced like, cause they're sort of like this. I don't want to, I don't want to say waste product,
00:51:15.160 but like by-product of, of harder line Judaism. Yeah. Jews are basically two ethnic groups because you have
00:51:22.000 the, the Ashkenazi and the Sephardic. Sephardic. Yeah. Sephardic. And it is the Ashkenazi Jews that
00:51:28.840 out-compete other groups. You can go to our video on Jews actually smarter. We argue that they're
00:51:33.340 not actually smarter. So you can, you can watch our video on that. But I don't, even if you argue
00:51:38.520 that they're not actually smarter than other groups, you cannot argue that they're not out-competing
00:51:42.720 other groups. Right. It's very much like the Nazis when they kicked out all their Jewish scientists
00:51:47.320 and then they came over here and built an A-bomb for us. Right. Like that was,
00:51:50.940 they, they do build actual things of utility when you're nice to them. There's the famous letter
00:51:57.600 that I think it was Ottoman King sent to a Spanish King when he was kicking out all the Jews during
00:52:01.980 one of the pogroms. There was basically an medieval high talk, have fun being poor, but yeah. Okay.
00:52:08.240 Next one here. I know. I mean, you've got to, even if a, if a population may turn on you, right? Like I,
00:52:14.580 again, I'm not saying that Jews are aligned with us in everything. Right. But I'm saying when I see
00:52:19.180 utility in a population and I'm having to choose between one of two groups, even Nick Fuentes doesn't
00:52:24.600 want more Catholics in this country. Right. Like, unless he can convert them. Right. Then it's
00:52:28.880 okay. Then it's okay. Like he recognizes. And I'm like, come on, man. Like this is all a LARP at this
00:52:34.600 point. Is it not like, but I'm going to continue here. Spies on us. Spies on us. Fuentes says that
00:52:40.240 Israel runs an espionage, an extensive espionage campaign against the United States. This is true
00:52:44.980 and well-documented. Jonathan Pillar, 1985, naval analyst gave Israel thousands of classified docs,
00:52:50.480 satellite imagery, signet, sentence to life. 1985 to 2004, art student spy ring. FBI investigated 140
00:52:57.260 Israelis posing as art students, casing DEA offices. NSA warned of aggressive Israeli espionage. 2019,
00:53:05.820 WhatsApp hack. Israel firm NSO groups Pegasus used to spy on U.S. officials slash journalists per
00:53:12.620 citizen's lab. GAO report Israel named top economic espionage threat to U.S. defense
00:53:18.040 contractors. FBI counterintel still ranks Israel in the top five for tech theft behind Russia and
00:53:24.160 China. So. I mean, it would make sense that, that was it yet. That was always allowed. Like
00:53:29.800 that's the way it works. No, but no, I think there's just also an extremely strong correlation
00:53:36.140 between being, having a high-tech industry and engaging in quote-unquote tech theft.
00:53:43.440 Because I don't know. What is the difference between technology anyway? Like what other country
00:53:47.600 is going to use it? Yeah. But it's not just that. Do you think that we don't spy on Israel? Like I'm
00:53:52.020 just baffled. Do you think that we don't spy on Israel? Do you think that we don't spy on our other
00:53:58.220 allies like Canada? Like, are you? Obviously we spy on Israel. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of sharing
00:54:05.880 of intel, but it makes sense, right? Like I do not, I do not hold somebody. I'm not like that makes it
00:54:10.700 bad. And I'd also point out here, do you not? It just sounds like middle school girls. They all
00:54:14.760 spy on each other and they all share everything. Well, not everything. Stuff strategically.
00:54:18.480 The Vatican has, has information networks. Like that also like baffles me. The Vatican has
00:54:25.980 political diplomatic interests and uses its, its various organizations to channel information
00:54:33.680 up to the upper ranks. Like the Vatican is not St. Lee von Saintington. If you look at their history,
00:54:40.800 which we're going to get to, right? Like they are an active political player with active political
00:54:46.820 objectives that they are willing to pursue. Let's be fair though. The Catholics are the only ones with
00:54:52.340 the saints. So. No, they are. Yeah. They are the only ones with the saints. They do have actual
00:54:57.120 a power to make their spy saints, which the Jews can't do. No saints with the Jews. Okay. Diplomatic
00:55:05.280 liability. He said the U S gives infinite foreign aid and weapons. As I pointed out, they don't. The U S
00:55:10.600 actually only gets about the amount to Israel every year on average that we give to all the Catholic
00:55:15.840 majority countries that we give a two combined, except it's reciprocal in Israel's case, because they have
00:55:20.780 to spend over 90% of that buying us weapons. And this isn't true with the Catholic aid. It just goes
00:55:25.300 to these countries and then nothing happens to it because they never get wealthier. It's like,
00:55:28.600 can we stop? Can we cut off aid to these countries? We've been giving it to them for like half a
00:55:33.060 century, much longer than we've been giving aid to Israel. And they haven't been able to get their
00:55:37.220 act together. Right? Like can't, if they're, if they're going to be unproductive, like why do we need to
00:55:42.920 keep simping for them? I'm okay with giving money to somebody who is making cool stuff with it that I may need one
00:55:50.000 day, you know, like their missile defense system. The Vatican doesn't have a missile defense system.
00:55:54.880 You know, this is the thing. If we were going into a war with vampires and I needed lots of holy water,
00:56:01.520 I'd be going to the Vatican, right? I'd be saying, Hey, we should probably ally with the Vatican.
00:56:05.940 They're really good at making holy water. But when I look at the future conflicts on our door,
00:56:11.060 the groups that want us eradicated, a lot of these groups are Islamists. In Israel is what the
00:56:18.460 Vatican is to vampire invasion. Israel is to Islamist invasion. They make a lot of things
00:56:25.220 that are very good at both protecting you from and dealing with this particular threat,
00:56:32.140 which is a growing one on the global stage. And I, I, I, the idea that they're not useful as like a,
00:56:40.420 a political or economic or technological partner is just like kind of ridiculous on face value.
00:56:48.140 If you, if you are engaging with technology, right? And this is U S technology, like, like you're in
00:56:54.040 the U S and you have technology, that technology comes from like either the United States, Japan,
00:57:02.140 Korea, or Israel, maybe Taiwan. And that's really, that they're the only places on earth that move
00:57:12.660 technology forwards to a considerable degree. You, you get some high tech industries in other
00:57:18.560 countries. Yeah. Okay. China and India and Europe that don't really produce much new stuff. But if we're
00:57:31.260 talking about like active technological development, Israel is one of the only places on earth where
00:57:36.680 you're actively doing this. And since tech defines who controls the future of human civilization,
00:57:42.780 it matters that you're friendly with the only productive technological person on earth that is
00:57:50.020 at sustainable fertility rates. Right. Because when I look at the other players on this list that I
00:57:54.880 said were relevant, like Japan and Korea and Taiwan, they're basically having their population every
00:57:59.180 generation. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway,
00:58:01.460 to be fair, the highest fertility populations in Israel are not the also high tech.
00:58:09.960 Right. But even the high tech populations are above repopulation rate. Yeah.
00:58:14.100 And even our tech in the U S you know who makes this tech in the U S a lot of it is made by Jews,
00:58:19.860 right? Like even Nick Flint has much realized if we did a program in the U S and we kicked out the
00:58:25.760 Jews in our country, or even if we made the U S a more of an enemy to Israel, the people who
00:58:31.440 run all of these tech companies and often who are starting a lot of these tech companies,
00:58:35.280 they would have a much less of a reason to ensure that the U S continues to survive and thrive.
00:58:41.820 Right. Like that would be an actively, as I've said, I don't trust the Jews to, you know,
00:58:47.180 care for us out of their own heart, but I trust the Jews to be able to see a pattern of the U S
00:58:53.100 helping Israel and say, Hey, it is in our, the Jewish people's best interest to help the United
00:58:59.280 States thrive. And this is one of those things where like Ben Shapiro goes out there and like,
00:59:03.700 obviously he cares about Jewish interests above the interests of other people, but like, that's
00:59:08.100 allowed, right? Like obviously Nick Fuentes cares about the interests of Catholics. Well,
00:59:13.040 white Catholics is the narrow group that he believes he belongs to over, over other groups.
00:59:17.240 Right. You know, I, I don't, I don't get why, why that's like not a lot. Like I,
00:59:24.720 I care about my narrow community, the, the Augs over other groups, you know, any, any.
00:59:31.960 Oh, you just like what nerd super nerds? No, no. I, I call the Augs, the people who have sort of
00:59:38.700 the same goals as the techno puritans, which is to continue to evolve humanity. Okay.
00:59:44.100 Take to space. I use the humans that will one day be augmented, right? Like, okay.
00:59:50.280 Okay. Okay. And engaging was various forms of human augmentation. I hate the word like
00:59:54.840 transhumanist. I don't think that that's what we represent. You can see our video on this. It's
00:59:58.460 much more. Yeah. Well, and also like there are too many differing definitions of the, of the term
01:00:03.760 or connotations associated. Yeah. I would say that transhumanist is, is sort of defined as a
01:00:09.120 progressive pussy version of this. And the Augs are the more like super soldier Darwinist types.
01:00:16.080 You know, you, you specifically Aug ideology is downstream of Nietzschean ideology, which says
01:00:21.540 that, you know, the, that you should strive to strengthen yourself and that immorality comes
01:00:26.120 from weakness and that you should strive to strengthen yourself in whatever way you can,
01:00:30.600 whether that's genetically, technologically through anything. And that if we allow humanity
01:00:36.140 to enter into a dysgenic spiral, which most of humanity is already within, see our video on is
01:00:41.240 an idiocracy actually possible, then we are merely worshiping weakness. And, and yeah, and there's a
01:00:46.880 lot of groups that don't like the Augs, right? So, because I think most technopuritans would get along
01:00:50.860 with any Aug, even if they didn't have the technopuritan faith. But anyway, I want to go over a document
01:00:58.080 the Vatican released in 2017. The ecumenism of hate. This is a Vatican reviewed critique of US
01:01:05.640 conservative alliances. It was published in La Civitia Catalica, a Jesuit run journal,
01:01:12.700 whose content is pre-approved by the Vatican secretary of state, making it official sounding
01:01:18.380 Vatican voice entitled Evangelical Fundamentalism and Catholic Integralism in the United States,
01:01:25.380 a surprising ecumenism. God, this is so Catholic sounding. The piece was co-authored. It doesn't
01:01:30.960 really matter. But specifically, it targeted the growing political alliance between conservative
01:01:36.020 US Catholics labeled Integralist and Evangelical Fundamentalists, particularly their support of
01:01:41.720 Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and early policies like immigration restrictions and walls. The authors
01:01:46.920 framed this as a, quote, Manchian, end quote, good versus evil worldview, promoting, quote,
01:01:53.540 denophobic and Islamophobic visions, end quote, and a, quote, nostalgic dream of a theocratic type
01:02:00.000 state, end quote. So you know who they're talking about, right? This is clearly Nick Fuentes that they
01:02:06.720 are talking about here. And they're saying, we don't support this. And not just Nick Fuentes,
01:02:12.440 they're saying, we do not support the faction of the Catholics within the United States that have moved
01:02:20.160 to support the MAGA alliance, that have moved to support things like immigration restrictions that
01:02:24.560 have moved to support. This is, this is what I talk about when I'm like, the, the, the Vatican has a
01:02:32.100 political interest. And Nick Fuentes' ideology works only insofar as he either ignores their political
01:02:41.660 interest is directly counter to our own political interests, or that he pretends like, as a Catholic,
01:02:50.160 the, the, the core thing that separates him as a Catholic from a Protestant is the, the, the,
01:02:56.960 the functions of the, the Catholic bureaucracy, specifically apostolic succession.
01:03:02.520 Ah.
01:03:04.760 So, and I, and I note here, like, this is also like Francis specifically called Trump's deportations,
01:03:11.100 a disgrace, calling it, you know, damaging dignity, right? It's not like I am twisting the
01:03:17.920 Vatican's words here. And like every Catholic who's not just completely has their head in the sand
01:03:22.380 knows this, right? I think that there's this hope that the Vatican is going to go in a different
01:03:28.480 direction with time. And I think what they fundamentally are ignoring is the history of
01:03:33.540 how the Vatican got here. The Vatican didn't get to this position because the Vatican did a turnaround
01:03:38.980 turnaround and, and now has a different ideology. They did a turnaround. The Vatican has been pro
01:03:44.860 immigration since like forever, right? Like this isn't a new thing in the Vatican. The Vatican has
01:03:51.000 been pro racial integration since forever. The Vatican has been the, you know, anti, well, a Trump style
01:03:58.180 nationalism forever. They've been anti-capitalism forever, right? Basically there's a faction of Catholics
01:04:06.820 in the US that have left whatever Catholics historically believed and expect the Vatican
01:04:15.280 to leave this wisdom. It's not really, and it's not to say that the Vatican hasn't been captured by
01:04:20.560 the Jesuits and they haven't transformed the nature of the institution through this capture. It's not to
01:04:26.180 say that they aren't actively basically cheating in elections. We might do a whole thing in how the
01:04:31.860 Jesuits sort of cheat and papal elections. Oh, really? That sounds interesting. They've done some shady stuff.
01:04:38.180 It was within the rules, but it was like against the spirit of the rules. But what I'm saying here is of like,
01:04:43.700 if you believe that they're cheating, then you've lost apostolic succession because the bureaucracy is no
01:04:48.040 longer functioning as intended, right? Like this is, this is where I, I don't know, it just gets to me here, but to
01:04:53.840 continue here. If we go further here on Trump's deportations, you have a direct quote in Francis' letter,
01:05:02.060 the rightly formed conscious cannot fail to express its disagreement with any measure that identifies the
01:05:07.780 illegal status of some migrants with criminality. Deportations damage the dignity of those people and places,
01:05:15.280 them in vulnerable and defenseless positions. So I'll note here, I shorten that quote, like I paraphrase parts of it,
01:05:21.980 but specifically he says that you can't. So if you're a Catholic in the United States,
01:05:27.980 and I know that you only have to obey the Pope when he does things from like a papal bull or it's
01:05:32.100 done within a council, but you are in direct rebellion to the Pope's will if you say something
01:05:38.740 like it is, we are deporting them because they broke the law, right? Like, like he is saying that you
01:05:44.680 cannot, to identify the illegal status of some migrants with criminality, that you can't do that.
01:05:50.780 You cannot define them as illegal for breaking the law, which is the core thing you need to be able
01:05:56.440 to do to make the justification for the deportations and everything like that. And I note here, one of
01:06:02.660 the things to remember with the Vatican, which is another reason why it's incredibly foolish to attempt
01:06:06.800 to ally with them, is it's not just that Catholics have an incredibly low fertility rate all over the
01:06:14.000 earth right now, you know, because we've talked about low Catholic fertility rates in whatever country,
01:06:17.780 whether it's in Southern Europe or whether it's in Latin America or whether it's what the quote
01:06:22.120 unquote white Catholics was in the United States. They also have an incredibly low population in
01:06:27.100 their, their region of, of like the cultural center, right? Specifically Italy, Italy has a
01:06:32.900 fertility rate of like 1.18 right now and it's continuing to crash. So for every hundred Italians,
01:06:37.100 there's only going to be 20 great grandchildren. So if this continues to crash and partially on
01:06:42.240 beheadst of the Vatican, Italy is accepting tons of migrants, which have a higher fertility rate,
01:06:47.240 the Vatican itself is going to be in a hostile sea, a sea of individuals who may not agree with
01:06:57.020 its policies. And that puts the rest of the Vatican, like the Catholic community in an incredibly
01:07:02.840 dangerous position, globally speaking, because you don't know if the Vatican's being influenced or not,
01:07:08.740 right? Like, I mean, in a way right now that the Vatican's in a sea of urban monoculture and is
01:07:12.960 certainly being influenced by that. What happens when it's in a sea of Islamists, right? You've
01:07:17.400 already seen how much the Catholic church has moderated its view on Islam. And even, you know,
01:07:24.140 we, we also see this from Nick Fuentes because of, you know, that's the way it's getting his
01:07:27.900 marching orders from where he'll often take positions that seem actively directed towards
01:07:34.160 empowering Islamist organizations and factions. If he can use that to achieve for, in his case,
01:07:41.340 negative conditions for the Jews, but in the Vatican's case, and no, he'll be here, he'll be
01:07:46.440 like, Oh, well, we just, we, the only reason we don't want Iran to get a nuke is because they'll use
01:07:50.540 it on Israel. And it's like, no, we don't want them to have a nuke because after Israel, they use it on us.
01:07:54.820 Right? Like if you are willing to allow Iran to get a nuke, just to spite Israel, you have put the
01:08:00.000 United States in an incredibly worse diplomatic position. This is what I mean when I'm like,
01:08:04.180 he's willing to throw the United States under the bus if he can spite Israel. That campaign was
01:08:09.920 incredibly cheap for us, by the way. And we paid very little in terms of diplomatic cost for doing
01:08:16.280 that with Israel. And Israel also helped us a lot with that. Right? So that was one of our major
01:08:20.720 objectives for a long time as well. It's like, he thinks that the only reason these countries have a
01:08:25.360 beef with us is because we support Israel when it's like, no, they, they want global Sharia law
01:08:31.140 in the same way you want to globally convert everyone to Catholicism one day. Right? Like
01:08:34.500 they, they actually are antagonistic, but the Catholic Vatican, when they're trying to promote
01:08:40.560 Islamist agendas or create sort of interfaith dialogue there, what's funny is that like interfaith
01:08:48.080 dialogue doesn't seem to really exist. I heard somebody say this to me and they're like, it's so
01:08:50.960 true. When you have a bunch of preachers doing interfaith dialogue, they're typically all urban
01:08:54.540 monoculture and they're not actually like strong. Oh, so it's monofaith dialogue with different
01:08:59.960 costumes. But, but the reason why they're doing this is I think smartly. So is they know that
01:09:04.440 they're not maybe eventually that they're going to be in a Muslim majority region and they're going
01:09:10.400 to need to deal with that. Right? Like they're going to need to appease their, their new rulers
01:09:16.260 and really the only force that could possibly prevent this, they're making, well, Nick Fuentes
01:09:23.240 is making an enemy of, which again, yeah, the Catholic church now is basically, ah, I've
01:09:27.580 got the vampires. We're, we're, we're pro vampire actually. But I want to now talk about the Catholic
01:09:35.200 revolutions in Latin America. Oh, by the way, fun side note. Did you know that one of the Lincoln
01:09:39.460 assassins hit at the Vatican and there is a common myth that the Vatican helped him hide, but it
01:09:43.600 actually didn't. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. So just fun historical side note here. Lincoln assassin,
01:09:48.320 John Wilkes Booth at Fort Cedar and Mary Surratt, devout Catholic boarding house owner convicted
01:09:53.460 as co-conspirator and hanged on July 7th. John Stewart Jr., a Confederate fly fled to Canada,
01:10:00.240 hidden by Catholic priests. So he was actually hidden by the larger Catholic bureaucracy at first,
01:10:04.240 because remember for most of us history, the U S and the Catholic church were not like now the
01:10:10.920 Vatican is sort of like, Hey, we hate the U S and, and the U S is like, well, we are going to try to
01:10:16.780 get along with everyone. But back then it was more like, Oh yeah, we hate you too. Don't send any
01:10:22.860 Catholics. But anyway, so, so he was sheltered in Liverpool at a Catholic church. And then December
01:10:29.540 1865, he arrives in Rome and he enlists in Pope Pius the ninth papal swabs of volunteer army defending
01:10:37.760 the Vatican versus Italian unification. And, and his alias was John Watson. And then he was spotted by a
01:10:44.400 U N diplomat wild, by the way. Right. And the Vatican arrests him, but on the Pope's orders.
01:10:50.360 And then he was extradited to the United States where he was actually had the charges dropped
01:10:56.120 at a mistrial.
01:10:57.700 No. Wow.
01:11:00.240 Fun, fun, historic tidbit there.
01:11:02.880 Well, he went through a wild ride.
01:11:05.480 Yeah. Okay. So let's, let's go through the Catholic, because this is what I said. The
01:11:10.880 consultant, the more broadly has largely been an anti-capitalist force. They've written
01:11:15.200 for like tracks against capitalism.
01:11:17.840 For examples of these, you could look to Pope Leo the 13th, 1891, in in neculal, uh, renum
01:11:26.000 novarum, which was specifically an anti-capitalist sort of scree. And then we have more recently,
01:11:33.520 uh, Pope Francis, who he's gone on screes about the idolatry of money. And in these 2020
01:11:42.760 and encyclical, I don't know these, these foreign words, if titled Fratuli Tututi, Francis
01:11:51.720 expanded on these ideas, lamenting how market capitalism fails to promote fraternity or resolve
01:11:57.940 problems like poverty and hunger. And I note here that the church has every right to be
01:12:03.560 anti-capitalist. It aligns with their historic positions. It aligns with their larger value
01:12:09.080 systems. Capitalism has not worked out particularly well in, uh, Catholic majority countries. Uh,
01:12:16.240 so what, why shouldn't they be allowed to have this view? But I can also admit when it is,
01:12:23.360 you know, in, in conflict with my interests, my views, and my people's way of life, because when
01:12:30.460 capitalism has been tried in Protestant countries, it typically works out pretty well. What I don't
01:12:35.180 like is when people basically try to launder what the larger Vatican agenda is and pretend that it
01:12:43.620 doesn't have a agenda that is in contrast with capitalism, freedom of speech. Well, I suppose Nick
01:12:50.940 Fuentes would even admit he doesn't really want freedom of speech either. He doesn't particularly
01:12:54.880 want freedom of ideas either. He just wants it controlled by his faction. They're not pro-atheist
01:13:00.940 communism, but there have been large, especially within the Jesuit order, active organizations of
01:13:05.900 socialist and communist revolutions. So we have Nicaragua, 1979 revolution. We have Fernando
01:13:12.160 Conardo, who is a Jesuit. So they recruited Catholics to FSLN guerrillas, taught Marxism as Christian
01:13:19.900 in base communities, supplied food and ammo, priests join Sadanistra government, culture foreign
01:13:26.320 ministers, although the Pope did put a ban on this. So, so this was the case in which the Pope was
01:13:32.500 like, okay, you guys need to stop this, please. But anyway, the Sardinistas incorporated, quote,
01:13:37.900 political capitalism, end quote, using churches as organizing cells, e.g. the Paris replaced linen cell.
01:13:43.900 One leader, this was a quote that they talked about here within this order. One leader, Miguel de
01:13:49.780 Escarto, was a MacNolan priest. Liberation theology justified the armored overthrow of Samoa's
01:13:56.780 government. Post-revolution hymns praised, quote, worker Christ alongside Cedino and Che Guevara.
01:14:03.600 Direct quote, Carlos Fornisca, FSLN founder, Sardinismo is deeply rooted in Christianity as an extension
01:14:11.740 of Catholicism. Churches distributed Virgin Mary icons with Sardinista portraits. Columbia, 1965 to
01:14:19.440 66. Camilo Torres left the priesthood to join the ELN guerrillas and said, quote, Jesus equals
01:14:27.420 guerrilla. ELN ideology mixes Marxism-Leninism with Catholic martyrdom, e.g. no drug trade due to Catholic
01:14:34.940 morals. Then El Salvador, 1980 to 1992, civil war. Ignacio Elisario and the UCA Jesuits were the,
01:14:44.780 quote, unquote, brains behind the FMLN per army. And they ran, quote, liberation zones, end quote.
01:14:52.120 By the way, it led to 75,000 people dead. So these weren't like small things. Guatemala, 1960s to 96,
01:14:57.920 multiple Jesuit URNG guerrillas organized peasant-based communities into fighters and then
01:15:05.220 had a genocide with 200,000 people dead. Chile, Christians for Socialism and Ada, 1970 to 1973,
01:15:13.260 80-plus priests formed the group of 80 supporting Salvador Aleda's socialist government, quote,
01:15:19.220 Christians for Socialism, 1971. Allied with communists, seeing socialism as gospel fulfillment,
01:15:24.720 Pinchett's 1973 coup targeted them, quote, we declare our option for socialism as a way to
01:15:31.560 build the kingdom of God. No, okay. I mean, but is this just, these are examples of the Catholic
01:15:36.740 Church supporting socialist political movements? Surely there are also examples that I could
01:15:42.420 cherry pick of the Catholic Church supporting broadly capitalist leaders. Yeah, the Catholic Church
01:15:49.200 has done, and I can pull this up in post, they've written like tracks specifically attacking
01:15:53.440 capitalism. Oh. They've written, now, now they would say that what they are attacking is the more
01:15:59.820 like, like materialistic form of capitalism, which I would also, but they, they, they certainly don't
01:16:05.740 follow Puritan capitalism, which is, you know, I think the true and correct way of practicing
01:16:09.280 capitalism, which is capitalism without charity and without luxury. You can see. That's true, yeah.
01:16:15.320 Charity is big. And, and, and they, but they have also written tracks condemning communism,
01:16:21.200 just, just to be aware, even though sometimes, you know, communists spin out. And I note here when
01:16:26.180 people are like, oh, well, this or that communist leader was Jewish, true, but they do something that
01:16:33.940 the Catholics don't do, typically, if the communist leaders have Jewish backgrounds, which is they then
01:16:37.700 go around and try to kill Jews. And so they're obviously not, you know, fighting for a Jewish agenda.
01:16:43.360 Like when, when, you know, the communists came to power in Russia, the Jews were one of the first
01:16:49.440 on their list of, you know, they don't like when some groups out-compete other groups and the Jews
01:16:55.100 are out-competing a group, which is one of the reasons why they were, I actually point out here,
01:16:58.480 there was analysis done. We talk about this in another episode, but if you look at the amount
01:17:01.960 that Jews disproportionately get into politics, so if you look in the United States, obviously like
01:17:06.600 Jews are disproportionately win at politics and get into politics. And you look at this cross-country,
01:17:12.280 so you can find like an average disproportionate Jewish amount in politics. And then you look at
01:17:17.020 communist governments, specifically like communist Russia, Jews, when contrasted with their portion of
01:17:22.700 the population and their typical over-representation within politics are actually represented at a much
01:17:27.280 lower rate than you would expect. So even though they're over-represented versus the population,
01:17:31.540 they are under-represented when contrasted with, and I note here, like Marx wrote entire tracks about
01:17:39.200 how we needed to get rid of all the Jews. I forgot the name of the track, but it was pretty explicit.
01:17:43.940 Like it was in the title. Yeah. Oh, I'll, I'll look it up. Cause I, this will surprise you.
01:17:48.560 Okay. It was called on the Jewish question. Oh boy. Okay. Or fine. Okay.
01:17:55.960 He linked Judaism with hucksterism, an obsession with capitalism, commercialism, and money.
01:18:02.680 Well, not exactly shockingly unique.
01:18:04.720 Well, no, but what I'm saying is it's not exactly a friend to communism.
01:18:07.880 No, yeah.
01:18:09.520 Yeah.
01:18:11.280 So what I'm putting out here is, and why would they be? Sorry, it actually makes no sense that
01:18:16.500 Jews would want communism. I just want people to actually think through this for five seconds.
01:18:21.660 Ew. I don't know. Kibbutzim are pretty fricking.
01:18:25.460 Right. But they do that only with other Jews, which is hugely different, right? So consider that you
01:18:31.720 are a population living within a diverse spot. You can't try communism as it is theoretically
01:18:37.180 understood at a grand scale without some post-singularity society. Right. I understand
01:18:43.180 that. But even if communism quote unquote worked, Jewish people wouldn't want it. Why wouldn't they
01:18:51.080 want it? Okay. Think about this. Think about this. Okay. You are part of a group that whenever you're
01:18:56.360 in a capitalist country, whether it's Australia or the United States or Germany, you end up much
01:19:01.100 wealthier and was much more power than other groups. The very last thing you would want is
01:19:07.240 wealth redistribution. Okay. Like, especially if you're thinking intergenerationally. Now we do
01:19:13.020 point out, oh, well, what about the kids of rich families? Why are they more likely to become
01:19:17.300 communist? This is different. These kids aren't thinking intergenerationally in the way that somebody
01:19:23.440 trying to plot out like a Jewish control of society. Jews are always intrinsically going to have more
01:19:28.560 control within a capitalist system, which means if you favor capitalism, you also have an intrinsic
01:19:33.940 parallelism of interest with Jewish organizations and with Jewish forces. And you are going to be
01:19:40.260 much more to have a direct conflict of interest with Catholic forces. Because again, Catholics have
01:19:46.040 historically promoted socialism and, and immigration waves and mass sort of charity organizations and stuff
01:19:54.560 like that. But anyway, thoughts, Simone? Just, wow. This has been a lot, but I also, it's not necessarily
01:20:05.580 updating my views that much on Catholicism because the Catholics with, with whom we interact are so
01:20:11.980 divorced from all this. Right. They are divorced from it. And I think that that can lead us to forget
01:20:17.360 that the Vatican has actively stated hostile intent to the United States, specifically the MAGA movement.
01:20:24.580 So you're just trying to say like, there is this group over here. Don't forget.
01:20:30.440 Well, what I'm trying to say is when you try to frame things along Nick Fuentes' lines, which is choose between
01:20:35.580 the Catholics and the Jews, right? What he's forgetting is the Catholics don't all think like him.
01:20:43.320 And the Catholics in power who have the final say in what the Catholics-
01:20:47.360 Because the official Catholics, yeah. Like if aliens arrived on earth and were like-
01:20:52.480 What do Catholics think? They're going to go to the Pope, right?
01:20:54.960 Yeah, that's right. That's right.
01:20:56.800 He's, he's, he's forgetting or covering up or trying to hide that in actuality, the Catholic
01:21:05.660 central bureaucracy is quite hostile to the United States in our interests.
01:21:09.220 And that we work with Catholics insofar as those Catholics aren't towing that line. And that when
01:21:18.380 he's like, well, you either need to like, and with Israel, while Israel has done some
01:21:22.540 D-bag moves in the past, they're ultimately as a population growing technologically productive
01:21:29.900 and economically productive group, a much smarter long-term ally.
01:21:34.600 Tactical ally. Yeah. That, that, that the, this view lacks pragmatism and that there's this very
01:21:42.240 ideologically based objection to Israel when Israel should be looked at as a tactical ally rather than
01:21:53.740 an ideological partner.
01:21:55.660 Yes. As I said, it's like partnering with the dwarves, right? Like they got their whole
01:22:01.100 own thing going on. Okay. You don't need to just don't get in the book of grudges. Okay.
01:22:05.900 And that's what I was reading that line. I was like, it's so Catholic. That's why I always put the
01:22:08.800 Catholic at the elves, right? Because, you know, very, everything's covered in gold. Everything's,
01:22:14.220 you know, ordained, ordinated, everything.
01:22:16.900 Best outfits.
01:22:17.300 You know, when they're doing their speeches, they make them like super long and academic
01:22:21.580 and florid. And you're just like, oh my God. And the, and the ceremonies, ceremonies for
01:22:27.400 everything, you know, you've got the, like with the elves, it'll be like the autumn, whatever
01:22:31.140 ceremony, the ceremony of whatever leaves. And with the Catholic, they got the ceremony for
01:22:36.360 this and the ceremony for that. And I guess if we're putting ourselves at the fantasy race,
01:22:39.580 what are we gnomes? You know, typically seen as technologically obsessed and otherwise
01:22:45.080 pragmatic and overly excitable and happy. I think that that works. Not, not very interested
01:22:51.080 in, in money, like the, the dwarves are, or, or over ornamentation.
01:22:56.240 Or Tolkien orcs that are just, you know, elves tortured to a point of abstraction, transhuman,
01:23:03.900 extremely strong and very industrious.
01:23:06.200 No.
01:23:06.480 I don't know. Like, I just, we all know who the orcs are and it's not black people, by the
01:23:11.680 way.
01:23:12.280 It was supposed to be Mongolians, right?
01:23:13.640 Well, we're talking, I'm talking in my analogy, not in Tolkien's analogy.
01:23:20.100 Okay.
01:23:20.440 They are, who are, who are they in your analogy? I don't know.
01:23:22.840 Look, we don't, we don't need to go through this. Nobody wants you to, to, what I'm saying
01:23:28.000 is, is that the, the orcs don't much like the gnomes existing. They don't much like the
01:23:35.780 elves existing and they don't much like the dwarves existing. And we have a reason to work
01:23:41.740 together. And that's what I would ultimately push for is to not say, choose the, choose
01:23:47.080 the dwarves over the elves. It's to say that the elves need to get over their anti-dwarf
01:23:52.480 thing so that we can all work together. Because if you say, if anyone's out there saying, hey,
01:23:57.520 you can't choose one of these factions as one of your allies. And this is of course where
01:24:02.820 the modern conservative movement is. Like, Catholics are a vast minority within the United
01:24:07.020 States population. They're around 20% and rapidly shrinking. As we said, they're shrinking in terms
01:24:12.080 of deconversions and in terms of fertility rates. And so like they need to form alliances
01:24:19.700 with other groups for this to work. And we need to accept that we're going to have differences
01:24:23.620 in perspectives, but that we are different. What I really hate that Nick Fuentes does is
01:24:28.700 he pretends like Catholics and Protestants are like some shared identity. And I find that to
01:24:34.040 be really like gaslighting and weird because they aren't, they are, you literally burned my actual
01:24:41.380 direct ancestors alive. Like we, we actually have like a book of martyr on like the shelf of every
01:24:48.440 restroom in our house, you know, it's like reading for our kids as they grow up, right? Like these are
01:24:53.480 things you, these, these, these are not the same people. The Jews didn't do that to my ancestors.
01:24:59.620 Okay. Like there's a reason there's suspicion here. Anyway.
01:25:05.440 There you have it. Oh my God. Thank you. This has been interesting, edifying.
01:25:16.040 No, but I think, I think we can all get along while still admitting, like, I may not like some
01:25:20.320 elfy things and I may not like some, we've done some episodes that we've gotten a lot of, oh,
01:25:24.320 that's anti-Semitic. I might not like some dwarf-y things, but I can still work with them and see the
01:25:29.380 benefits of working together. Yeah, totally. You know, we're pro-pluralism and it's not going to
01:25:36.600 change. That's all there is to it. I mean, I think they're both wool too. So.
01:25:45.480 She's angry for matching these days. Hey, I love it. I got to have a
01:25:48.980 caped wife epaulette. It's got to go for the real fascist look, you know, got to scare the, uh.
01:25:55.120 I used to be like fascist, but like World War II and now we're like fascist, but like
01:26:02.020 Prussian war maybe. It's giving, giving kind of Bismarck era. Can't believe that name pulled so
01:26:13.020 poorly when we thought about naming one of our kids Bismarck. Yeah, you're going to name one of
01:26:15.860 our kids Bismarck and just people did not like it. Yeah. Also did not like Texana, which was one of the
01:26:20.220 names we're going to choose. And that's where Tex came from. Yeah. Maybe just Tex pulls better.
01:26:26.540 All right. Attack. I don't want to see any survivors.
01:26:34.900 Take him down.
01:26:36.000 Now.
01:26:54.260 I'm going to die.
01:26:58.820 Okay.
01:27:01.340 You want me to come in and attack you?
