On today's show, we have a special guest on the show, Alex Castellanos of The Daily Wire. Alex is a former White House correspondent for the Daily Wire and a regular contributor to the website The Daily Beast. He is also a frequent contributor to The Weekly Standard and The Daily Caller. In this episode, Alex talks with Alex about the Epstein scandal, the current immigration situation, and the future of the Democratic Party.
00:00:00.000Benefit, but in the long term, I worry about that.
00:00:03.000Yeah, I definitely think it's better in the long term.
00:00:05.000And I agree with you completely on 600,000 Chinese students.
00:00:08.000I don't know if you saw we did an entire hour on that.
00:00:11.000H-1Bs, I was throttled as a result from, well, I can't say Elon Musk directly, but I believe I perhaps called him a retard, whatever it was.
00:00:21.000I insulted him quite publicly and, you know, for my troubles, made $27 in the course of a month on X. Ashley Sinclair made like 26 grand in two weeks.
00:00:35.000I will tell you, worse than 600,000 Chinese students would be another 15 to 20 million illegals and changing the census rule, which is what we were looking at, where that redistricts the entire map.
00:00:44.000And there's no chance to any type of conservative, Republican, nationalist populist being elected again.
00:00:50.000And I do think that there was a lot of progress made.
00:00:53.000I would go, I mean, a lot of wins, not only the board.
00:00:55.00099% is not marginal to me as far as reduction.
00:01:00.000But I'd like to go to, I understand where you're coming from.
00:01:03.000I understand that perspective, but I also don't understand what the threshold is as far as, okay, burn it all down or we want to delegitimize the system.
00:02:47.000If you had progressive Democrats and nationalist Republicans working together, let's say to compel the release of the Epstein files, what kind of approval rating do you think that has?
00:03:10.000Do you think that Republicans or independents running under that brand, do you think that that would become more popular or less popular over time?
00:03:26.000And we need to propel someone into the White House that is just a populist.
00:03:30.000If the right can come down on health care and on a social safety net and maybe on some subsidies for education, and if the left can come down on the anti-white open border stuff and they can agree that we have a country, that party will win 90% of the vote and rule for a century.
00:04:05.000I wish I loved anything as much as he loves defending sex islands.
00:04:10.000I would like to hear your prescription for how that works, because I would say this: if the only compromise was the left on immigration, and if I believe that there was any semblance of a reality in which they compromise on immigration and compromising on free markets to varying degree, okay.
00:04:26.000But what do we do with a Rokana on the Second Amendment, on the First Amendment, on transing the kids, on reparations that someone like a Rokana or any member of the Democratic Party, but Rokana specifically says is a priority economically and morally on abortion.
00:04:44.000What do you do with all of the other compromises that aren't listed?
00:05:06.000But what I'm referring to is maybe more something like Trump 2016, who is basically a populist.
00:05:13.000And you look at Trump in 2016, and to me, that's kind of the prescription where it's like in 2016, he comes out and he says, we're going to get the money out of politics.
00:05:24.000He says, I'm not going to take donor money.
00:05:26.000I'm not going to take super PAC money.
00:05:47.000We're not going to win 80% of the left or 40% or even 30%.
00:05:52.000But I'm thinking that if we can win, because I think there are a lot of people on the far left or even some of the abundance liberals, they're getting tired of a lot of the far left too.
00:06:02.000There's a lot of these liberals in the center that are saying, how are you going to have public transportation when you have people getting stabbed in the neck and there's no police?
00:06:09.000Like we can't defund the police and even have these cities that we want to have.
00:06:13.000I think there's a lot of people on the far left too that are saying, you know, maybe the woke has gone too far.
00:06:25.000Because I could, when I hear it, I almost thought you said, like, I was like, oh, yeah, that sounds like something a liberal would say, like, stab the cop in the neck.
00:06:33.000No, no, when people are being stabbed in the neck by like black people, for example.
00:06:37.000Oh, that's also something I could hear a leftist supporting.
00:07:07.000Because you seem to be defending, like, well, we're supposed to vote Republican and we're supposed to say, well, this is better than the alternative.
00:08:48.000So let me ask you, what's your prescription?
00:08:49.000Why hopscotch all the people who I think watching right now would agree with you if they think that you're on board with them on LGBTQ, on immigration, on Second Amendment rights, on First Amendment rights?
00:09:02.000Why hopscotch then to compromise with someone who has actively fought to destroy all those things like a Rokana?
00:09:08.000Wouldn't it make more sense to form a coalition with more than half the country who already exists?
00:09:14.000Because you don't want to take them for granted.
00:09:20.000I would say that it's a structural problem, which is that the reason, first of all, I mean, we have to deal with the fact that Trump is not delivering.
00:09:28.000Like, if you don't want a Gish Gallup, let's just start there.
00:09:31.000You say, well, I don't think it's a complete failure.
00:09:35.000BLM happened in 2020 because Trump let it happen because Sean Hannity was calling him every day and saying, this is better for us in November if BLM burns down the cities.
00:09:44.000So the Summer of Love happened in 2020 when Trump was president.
00:11:20.000I just want to know, just because this is the point I'd like to address when you say Irina Zarutska, and obviously we've covered that.
00:11:24.000And I think we're in agreement when you look at the judge and you look at the man who was released, I believe, 14 times, right, under the guise of equity, Black Lives Matter, precisely the kinds of policies that only exist because they have been supported by the radical left who run the entire Democrat Party, right?
00:11:39.000So yeah, some of that happened under Trump's watch, and I agree.
00:12:10.000But I certainly think that 20 million illegal aliens in four years is worse than a reduction of 90-something percent.
00:12:18.000I certainly think that the people who orchestrated Black Lives Matter and the people who ran those cities and the people who have blocked ICE from doing anything is worse than the guy sending in ICE with any effort at all.
00:12:33.000Why do we get all these people from Venezuela?
00:12:36.000Because Trump hired John Bolton to destroy Venezuela's economy and then on his last day in office gave Venezuela temporary protected status.
00:12:45.000That was one of his last acts as president.
00:12:47.000And that means they can't be deported.
00:12:49.000And then you got 6 million Venezuelans in an exodus and how many of them ended up here.
00:12:53.000And by the way, Trump ran in 2016 saying, we're going to build the wall and we're going to solve immigration.
00:14:06.000What I want to hopscotch is the donors.
00:14:08.000I want to hopscotch the party, which is the RNC, which is, you know, Little Tech, Silicon Valley, which is the Israel lobby, which is Wall Street, because they're driving the stuff.
00:14:19.000Like the reason that Trump is not really what he delivers, you know, or what he promises is because, you know, if you were to deport all these illegal aliens, it's going to be bad for big agriculture, Wall Street.
00:14:53.000I don't know how much more happy I can get.
00:14:56.000I think that the re-platforming is a big thing, right?
00:14:59.000I mean, as someone who's been also debanked, demonetized through PayPal, Shopify, all that, you know, very similar to you.
00:15:06.000The fact that you're able to sit here now and have this conversation, I mean, it took a lot of work from coalition people like me, you know, turning down a $50 million contract and migrating the world's biggest conservative, right-leaning nationalist YouTube channel over to Rumble so that you're able to do that.
00:16:09.000There's no world in which you're re-platformed unless Donald Trump is running again and someone like Elon Musk sees an already existing populist movement.
00:16:22.000I mean, I was literally deplatformed for having Kerry Lake on in a midterm.
00:16:26.000That's why we couldn't stream the elections.
00:16:28.000So to say that, well, that's because of Biden, are you giving Biden credit for Elon Musk buying X and bringing you back?
00:16:33.000Because I think that you got to give some credit here if you want to build a coalition.
00:16:38.000Can you build a coalition with the people going, hey, we are really anti-censorship and we're really hesitant to get back in bed with the party that pushed for all of it?
00:16:46.000Because there are other people not as popular as you who've also been deplatformed and re-platformed as a result.
00:22:03.000I just think that we need the young people to climb the ladder.
00:22:08.000I want to march through the institutions, get them in the college Republicans, to the campaigns, to the congressional offices, the think tanks.
00:22:17.000I think that we need to engage in primaries.
00:22:19.000In 2026, I'm going to be very active and we're going to tell everybody who's America first and who isn't and who to vote for.
00:22:26.000And I think the people that are not America first, I think they should lose their elections.
00:22:34.000In 28, I think we should back a presidential candidate who is going to basically emulate what Trump did in 2016, which is anti-corruption, America first, close the borders.
00:22:45.000And if that person can make inroads with the left, I think that's an interesting idea.
00:22:51.000Because maybe what you're, maybe the area of disagreement is there are a lot of people in our right-wing coalition who are kind of part of the problem, I would say.
00:23:03.000There are, like, for example, when Trump bombed Iran, you had like 70% of Republicans supporting that.
00:25:15.000I'm not talking, RoCanna, I'm not talking about him specifically.
00:25:19.000And like I said, I'm not even talking about Thomas Massey.
00:25:22.000I'm using them as an example, as a model.
00:25:25.000Well, as a model, as sort of a proof of concept, because you have a Republican and a Democrat who, by the way, I don't even agree with them on most things.
00:25:34.000Like I criticize Thomas Massey a lot, but it's an example of bipartisanship on a populist issue, an anti-elite issue that everybody supports.
00:25:49.000And I'm saying that's an example of cooperation where the right can maybe lean into these issues that, you know, maybe they're nonpartisan issues and rally everybody against the establishment and our own party.
00:26:01.000And it's just, to me, that's always the disconnect: you want to talk about Kamala Harris and Ro Khanna.
00:26:07.000And I'm saying, let's imagine a different situation.
00:27:06.000Let's just chuck that up to a disagreement.
00:27:08.000There are some other areas if we want to go through where we probably agree, probably disagree, because I think you presented it pretty well.
00:27:16.000I just think we disagree on that, if that's okay.
00:27:19.000So some of the positions that you've presented for me, where I think we might disagree, but you could clarify, have given me pause.
00:27:26.000Second Amendment, that's a big one to me, a fundamental one, because I come from a country, I would also say socialized healthcare, because I put several family members six feet under who would have lived in the United States being raised in Quebec.
00:28:45.000I'm a little skeptical of it as time goes on because as I get older and more mature, I think we maybe take for granted the institutions that we've built up.
00:28:54.000And maybe I've become ironically more conservative in my disposition and saying, maybe let's not race ahead of ourselves and get rid of things which have been around for hundreds of years.
00:29:04.000I would argue the constitutional system is already impaired because it's being abused by all the other organs of government.
00:29:10.000You know, even the Supreme Court voted eight to one that said these injunctions are out of control.
00:29:15.000And you've got these like procedural things in the Senate to filibuster.
00:29:19.000The president can't fire as many people as he'd like to fire without all this oversight.
00:29:24.000It's like, you know, we do need an executive organ of government.
00:29:27.000So I would say that we should start with a more powerful president.
00:29:32.000And I would not be opposed to, you know, something like a king that sits over the presidency.
00:29:38.000I think that maybe they didn't get it wrong, but I think maybe we've outgrown a lot of those considerations.
00:29:45.000I'll even go as far as to say something like the Second Amendment.
00:29:49.000I mean, you know, and maybe I get criticized for this, but I'm just free thinking here.
00:29:54.000Ideally, you would want a society that is so orderly.
00:29:57.000Do you really want people running around with guns all the time?
00:30:00.000I mean, I know the argument about, and I am pro Second Amendment, I have guns, but you know, something like that.
00:30:06.000It's like that, that is a clear instance where the left kind of makes a point about how we've outgrown some of the things that are in there.
00:30:13.000I'm going to get a lot of shit for saying that, but I just think that's true.
00:30:16.000And like a modern city, you know, should everybody be packing heat like that?
00:30:21.000I mean, ideally, you'd have so much public order, it wouldn't be necessary.
00:30:25.000So, first, let me just be really clear on my position.
00:30:28.000I do like a place where people are running around with guns all the time because I've been a place where they haven't Canada and it's a nation of pussies.
00:30:33.000Also, I will tell you this: on this topic, I have seen your video where the police, I don't think arrest, police showed up at your house.
00:30:43.000One of my producers here, who's a lawyer, said people should watch that as textbook on how to deal with police.
00:31:01.000But I do want to give you, in other words, I want to let people know that this is not a position taken from someone who has not been under threat.
00:31:10.000But I will say this: what I heard there and in watching you, concerning to me, because what I see communicated is in your ideal utopia, to use a word, would involve a much stronger state with much more executive power.
00:31:26.000And I agree on the executive authority, but the endgame, a much stronger state and much softer civilian arms, softer Second Amendment rights.
00:31:36.000And it sounds a lot to me like the left saying, well, it was for muskets and we can just revise it.
00:31:44.000Explain if that's a mischaracterization.
00:31:48.000How do we know when we decide and how do we decide?
00:31:50.000We probably don't want people running around with guns anymore.
00:31:53.000Well, I'm not in favor of gun control in America.
00:31:58.000I just don't even think that's practical.
00:32:00.000It's what, 400, 500 million guns or something.
00:32:03.000I don't think it's possible to control guns here.
00:32:25.000I was down in Texas with John Doyle actually years ago before we became enemies.
00:32:29.000And we were walking around with guns in our back pocket in the gas station.
00:32:33.000And I'm thinking, I actually don't know that I want to live in a city where people are literally walking around with guns hanging out of their pants.
00:33:41.000Well, I think that's a fair answer if it's just sort of a feeling thing.
00:33:44.000I think that in combination, hopefully you can understand where it's prescriptive as far as a stronger state or theocracy or I feel like I know I've heard you use the word dictatorship.
00:33:56.000It could be again tongue-in-cheek with softer Second Amendment rights.
00:34:08.000Just I would ask that you not create any kind of a coalition with someone who would take any guns away because I have them hanging out of my pockets all the time.
00:34:17.000As a matter of fact, I've created new pockets for my guns.
00:34:41.000Well, I've actually tried to publicly reject, denounce my Canadian citizenship many times, and I don't know how to, I've just said it on air.
00:35:21.000It's also, by the way, probably why I'm much more in favor of a two-party system because I come from where I was raised, a parliamentary system.
00:35:28.000And when I had it explained to me, I said, so someone can become the leader of this country with like 28% of the vote.
00:36:51.000I had friends at Dawson College where there was a guy who roamed the Maritimes with like a shotgun and shot multiple people for days and no one could do shit.
00:37:42.000I mean, being subpoenaed by the ATF and being threatened to be investigated by the FBI along with the Nashville police, they can, but then apply that to society at large and you end up like Australia with COVID camps.
00:37:55.000Yeah, and I'm not like, I'm not against all guns.
00:37:58.000I just think that conservatives need to think beyond that issue because they tend to consider that the last line of defense.
00:38:04.000I feel like if you lose everything else, the guns won't protect you either.
00:39:52.000And then, towards the end of this, for fun, I want to go through some rapid-fire viral clips that have no context so that you can address them because these are the ones that people see of you sometimes.
00:40:01.000So, this is the one from The Hill that they ran regarding, I guess you would say, freedom of speech, but seems pretty severe.
00:40:07.000And then, I would like to roll not the whole two-hour show, but a longer clip so that people can see what they cut out and then we can talk about it.
00:40:56.000And I'm far more concerned about that than I am about even non-white people or mass migration.
00:41:04.000These people that are communing with demons and engaging in this sort of witchcraft and stuff, and these people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be absolutely annihilated when we take power.
00:41:52.000There is an occult element at the high levels of society and specifically among the Jews.
00:42:02.000And, you know, whenever I see that stuff, it just makes me want to proclaim louder and more firmly and more rigidly that it is nothing other than Jesus Christ.
00:42:11.000No, no pagan stuff, no false gods, no deities, no demons.
00:43:02.000And I'm far more concerned about that than I am about even non-white people or mass migration.
00:43:10.000These people that are communing with demons and engaging in this sort of witchcraft and stuff, and these people that are suppressing the name Christ and suppressing Christianity, they must be absolutely annihilated when we take power.
00:43:24.000I'm not calling for political violence, but that cannot have any quarter in our society.
00:43:30.000And we need to put up a crucifix every home, in every room, in every school, in every government office to signal Christ's reign over our country.
00:43:41.000Not that God needs it, but it must be outwardly expressed from the interior that this is God's country.
00:46:22.000So even if, let's say, you know, a perfect world coalition, you reach that point, the Nick Fuentes government, you wouldn't be executing people for not being Christian.
00:47:03.000But I just, that occult, I don't know about you, but when I see that kind of stuff, like it, it pisses me off.
00:47:09.000When I see like Order of Nine Angles and stuff like that, I'm like in my bones, I hate it.
00:47:15.000Yeah, well, I hate evil wherever it may be.
00:47:18.000And I do think I do believe, this is my belief, that the progressive left is a death cult.
00:47:23.000That's the only common denominator that I see.
00:47:26.000If you look at the abortion policy, if you look at the mutilation of children, if you look at, yeah, even it's whenever you see an LGBTQ flag next to a country that's represented by Hamas.
00:47:36.000Now, I'm not saying all Palestinian people.
00:47:38.000I'm saying those two can't be reconciled, where you go, how do they have this?
00:47:42.000How do they have these co-the only commonality is that they can't stand the United States and it's a death cult.
00:47:47.000And I think what does bother me a little more sometimes is I see a lot of immature Christians.
00:47:53.000And I know you've talked about this as a Catholic who obviously has much more of an understanding of your theology, or maybe sometime we can have a conversation about that.
00:49:41.000It's both evil and a nation of pussies.
00:49:44.000It's almost hard to make that happen, but somehow they pulled it off.
00:49:47.000And I also think the coalition that you see with the left and big business, this is where you say donors, but I just mean corporatism, period, like BlackRock.
00:49:56.000I mean, we had an investigation people can go and watch.
00:49:59.000Funny enough, McKinsey Company was one where we got a lot of blowback.
00:50:02.000But BlackRock then threatening Rumble if they don't remove us to take legal action.
00:50:07.000And I don't even think it was a Jewish lawyer, which is kind of funny, just as an aside.
00:50:10.000So I think that's why it didn't go anywhere.
00:50:45.000And of course, I believe Coleman Hughes works under Barry Weiss and CBS and they spend a lot of money on YouTube, would have a vested interest in alternative platforms going away.
00:50:55.000So that kind of raised an eyebrow and I want to look into it more.
00:50:58.000But he did say that you, Nick, you'll give one face to the audience on Rumble and then sometimes a different face when you go on podcasts and moderate quite a bit.
00:51:09.000Do you think you've been doing that here?
00:51:11.000Because I know you'll, well, I could take that back, or do you think this is fair and it's consistent?
00:52:52.000So if I think of something funny, like, you know, just like a funny scenario or a bit, I just, I have to, I have to perform and I have to act it out.
00:53:01.000And sometimes the edgier, let's be honest, if it's edgy, it's funny.
00:53:52.000I think Normac Donald said once, he said, the perfect joke is where the punchline is the exact same as the setup.
00:53:58.000And he had a joke about Julia Roberts marrying Lyle Lovett and the punchline was just when they realized that Julia Roberts had married Lyle Lovett.
00:54:23.000The one I wrote was I said, if, and it was in response to Lena Dunham back then, if an angry feminist is raped in a forest, but no one there to hear it, is she still heinously unattractive?
00:54:34.000And people got so mad and conservative saying, we have to be better than this.
00:54:51.000One of my favorite jokes that I ever wrote, and a lot of it is not necessarily written, was remember Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh?
00:55:04.000And the letter that she gave to her psychologist contradicts the story that she gave to the New York Times.
00:55:10.000And that contradicts the story given to her attorney.
00:55:13.000And the attorney version contradicted with the story that she had given to the authorities who are still, it should be noted, pursuing the distinct possibility of her being a, quote, dirty lying whore.
00:57:31.000As I understand it, you have always said that you are going to be waiting until you're married.
00:57:35.000So they take something that's a virtue and use it against you, combined with, I think, what you just said was in jest and go, well, he's an incel who's gay.
00:58:52.000They want to get the Medal of Honor, the Congressional Medal of Freedom, because they went out with some, you know, some average woman and have a couple of kids and they live in some house where they're watching Disney Plus.
00:59:08.000And he says, you go to the farmer's market.
00:59:14.000Like, we need to go at the center, and that requires real dedication, real sacrifice that, yes, might involve actually not having kids for some people.
00:59:25.000You know, does it ever cross people's mind that in a war, young men die?
00:59:41.000And I'm sorry, that's the wrong clip I meant, but we can address that one too.
00:59:44.000The clip I wanted was of destiny about him being based or something.
00:59:47.000But that one is one that some people obviously would say to bring up because us being replaced.
00:59:53.000And by the way, I'm not using the term replacement theory because just like nationalists, the left tries to coin that, that that advice would maybe fly in the face of fixing the problem of us being replaced demographically.
01:00:06.000Yeah, you know, I hear that all the time.
01:00:08.000And I don't think the solution to demographic replacement is everybody that watches my show has kids.
01:00:16.000Because even if everybody watches my show has kids, it doesn't solve the problem.
01:00:29.000It's sort of like, you know, you look at how society is, people go, oh, well, you know, if you don't like the way your city is, go move somewhere else or go do something else or change.
01:00:39.000You know who you're talking about on that one.
01:00:41.000Yeah, I mean, that's, but there's a lot of people that say that.
01:00:45.000And I think it ignores the reality of politics, which is that if we want to change society, we have to change politics.
01:00:51.000And a lot of people like to say, no, just be the change you want to see in the world.
01:00:55.000I don't believe in spontaneous action like that.
01:00:58.000I think that you do actually need people that are going to fight a very difficult battle.
01:01:02.000And some may have families and some might not, but they have to put the political cause first.
01:01:08.000And then you can change society by changing the capital.
01:01:10.000And so that I really don't like when people say, oh, well, you know, if we all just had kids at the same time, it's like, okay, but who's listening to this?
01:01:26.000I was going in the silly direction, but not to go back to the serious, I think people need to do both.
01:01:30.000And even people who go to war can do both.
01:01:32.000And I think that you actually can see, you know, it was Andrew Breitbart who I kind of came up under his tutelage because I was just a comedian and he had Big Hollywood back then before was Breitbart trademark anything.
01:01:42.000And he said that everything was downstream from culture.
01:01:44.000I've heard people say both downstream and upstream.
01:01:48.000And a big reason that birth rates are low is because culturally we have been bombarded with that for a long time because the world is going to end and it's morally wrong, right?
01:01:58.000Population is a problem, overpopulation.
01:02:01.000That's what we were told for a very long time.
01:02:03.000So it justified, it was this confluence of that along with the feminist movement and sexual liberation, the idea of taking control of that.
01:02:11.000And we really saw an anti-natalist country.
01:02:13.000So I do think culturally it's important.
01:02:17.000I don't just think be the change you want to seek.
01:02:18.000I think you need to have a plan and a prescription.
01:02:21.000I would include in that encouraging people to have families, especially, you know, native born, not feather Indian, but native born Americans.
01:02:34.000But I understand the point that you're making, that that can't be the only thing.
01:02:37.000But I also don't want to take for granted that there's been some headway made on that, where you actually have a lot of young people now who are very pro-family and understand the necessity.
01:02:45.000Whereas when you and I, I mean, you're younger than me, not that much younger than me.
01:02:49.000When you were young and I was young, that wasn't considered a virtue or a duty at all.
01:03:30.000The first part, people go like, you want that milk when they're young?
01:03:33.000I mean, we just did a whole segment on Rosh Hashanah where Indian men suck on their own mother's tits as part of a wedding ceremony, which is another reason that we should import none of them.
01:04:14.000Well, now you've gone too far the other way.
01:04:16.00025, like if it's a 20-year-old and a 20-year-old and they get married, I mean, like, Mary was pretty, she wouldn't meet that for like another 10 years.
01:05:14.000By the way, any questions you would like me to ask next week?
01:05:16.000I have Jillian Michaels on the show, which the funny thing is, I don't feel the need to disavow you because you've said, like, you're not, you're not conservative.
01:05:25.000I don't think we're in the same exact space.
01:07:56.000Is there anything else that, you know, we do have some chat from people?
01:08:00.000Would you like to take a few chats and also let people know where's the best place for folks to find you since you are no longer deplatformed?
01:08:09.000Yeah, I'm on X Nick J. Fuentes and Rumble, Nick J. Fuentes.
01:08:13.000And yeah, let's do some chats for sure.
01:08:15.000By the way, I think you and I agree too.
01:08:44.000And I do hope that the feedback mechanism that has seemed to work in the past with Donald Trump applies here because it's horribly ill-advised.
01:08:53.000Noodles, do you have some chats for Nick?
01:09:34.000I would say that it's a lot easier to destroy than it is to build something.
01:09:38.000That's why I think these conversations are important, no matter how much we disagree.
01:09:43.000Except for people who call for the actual death.
01:09:45.000That's my standard when people go, because someone said, I can't believe you would have Nick on when Stephen Crowder, you say that you would never have someone on who calls for the death of anyone of a political stripe because Nick has called for the deaths of all Jews.
01:09:58.000I'm like, well, by the way, I don't fully agree with some of the things that you say about the griffs, as we call them in French, but I've never heard you call for the death of all Jews.
01:10:08.000When I'm talking about people like Hassan Pike or Destiny saying political violence against my opponent, that's a line because I had an imam on my show who called for my death and it got pretty dicey.
01:10:18.000I was like, I'm not going to do that again.
01:10:43.000But I think that politically, that is something that is trotted out whenever people start to scrutinize Israel too much because it's certainly more of an issue in Europe.
01:11:15.000Mernats, because I was, again, I was raised.
01:11:18.000I remember the school where I went in Greenfield Park, Quebec.
01:11:21.000I watched some kids cheer when the second tower was hit, had a very, very large percentage of Islamic students, so much so that some of my homeroom class at lunch hour was turned into a prayer room.
01:11:33.000And that's always where you and I differ is Europe, obviously, it's a bigger threat.
01:11:38.000That's why I don't want us to emulate Europe.
01:11:40.000And Canada emulates it in a lot of ways as far as the parliamentary system and as far as the sort of multicultural mosaic, to use their term.
01:11:49.000If we emulate them outside of an actual Catholic theocracy, which I know you've said you don't want, you can't fill the void with nothing and it gets filled by the more brutal religion.
01:12:02.000And that is something they're called to.
01:12:03.000That's why we have 200 million Muslims on earth who believe that violence against non-Muslims and apostates is justified.
01:12:08.000So do I think it's an imminent threat now?
01:14:49.000I'd have to ask Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin and see where they line up because I think on some of the close-handed issues, they do.
01:14:56.000What I don't want to see happen is the only litmus test be if someone morally opposes Israel.
01:15:03.000I think that it needs to include people, this coalition, people who think we should cut all funding and we should only look out for our own interests and remove foreign entanglement, remove ourselves from foreign entanglements.
01:15:14.000But those people can also say, I hate Hamas and I think that Islam as a prescription is a greater threat to the West.
01:15:20.000We may disagree as long as I think the important closed-handed issues, I would say, for me, immigration, absolutely, both morally and pragmatically.
01:15:30.000People say demographic change and they go, great, replacement theory.
01:15:33.000I'm talking about like this country will cease to be.
01:15:37.000And you combine the mass illegal immigration, the mass H-1Bs with the census rule change.
01:15:42.000That is huge that people have overlooked.
01:15:44.000I mean, I will say for all the flaws of this administration, I don't know anywhere else where you get a Tom Holman, big fan, had him on the show.
01:15:50.000That's a guy who really is uncompromising, and he talks about the moral imperative to deport everybody.
01:16:51.000You say that bombing the Middle East for Israel is not America first, but you also say you're against bombing Venezuela for killing Americans with fentanyl.
01:17:23.000My impression was that, just to be clear, my impression of you, tell me if I'm wrong, was that you said, you know, like limited parameters.
01:17:31.000We have to define objectives clearly, but you supported that more than other interventions.
01:18:28.000I know that your view of Iran is different.
01:18:29.000You think that there's sort of a safeguard against Israel, a nuclear Iran.
01:18:32.000I think that there's a reason that no nation around them, including people who would be more in line with them, want them to have nukes ever, ever, ever.
01:18:40.000But I think that the principles, now we may disagree on the target or the place.
01:18:45.000I think first off, the principle is to be very, very hesitant to do it.
01:19:54.000I think we're probably on the same page.
01:19:56.000But these are one of those stories where culturally, when you tune in, and that's why we always have CNN on live every day, and I go, see, nothing up my sleeve.
01:20:02.000So people know we're live because you and I both know a lot of people say they're live.
01:20:26.000It's not about a war crime because you would say, look at the women and children.
01:20:30.000Now you're saying, look at the drug runners on drug boats.
01:20:33.000And that to me highlights that, again, the left hates the United States of America or they wouldn't be making a big deal out of drug runners in Venezuelan cigar cigar boats.
01:21:23.000And then that's where coalition matters because you go, okay, are we on these?
01:21:26.000Okay, now let's look at these specifics.
01:21:28.000And you're going to have disagreements on specifics, but I don't think anyone can be letting the door's disagreements on these foundational.
01:21:35.000And I don't want to say prints because it sounds like old school conservative, but I mean non-negotiables is what I mean.
01:21:40.000Like someone going, oh, we disagree on this, we agree on the specifics, but I want to take away all your guns and ban everyone for hate speech.
01:23:12.000To people out there who are, you know, I know people are going to look at that and go, well, everyone has their own thing as far as where you should press, where you shouldn't, where you disagree.
01:23:21.000But my job as a host is to be fair and to host someone graciously as well as be consistent.
