In this episode, I discuss the current state of right-wing politics, and why it s important to understand what it means to be a conservative, and how to deal with the growing number of people who don t share our values.
00:03:10.000We're going to talk about Gavin Newsom being a black guy as well as a couple of things.
00:03:16.000But I wanted to take a minute here to address something because I think everyone kind of knows this and we're kind of feeling this.
00:03:24.000There's definitely a fracturing taking place on the right.
00:03:30.000And I even have to couch my words here and be careful and say right-wing conservatism, America first, because the terms in and of themselves now are loaded.
00:03:40.000Where people will point and say, Well, you're not America first.
00:03:47.000Look, whatever term you want to use, I don't care what I'm talking about here, is the coalition of people who want to preserve, protect, and all recognize and respect America, the United States of America.
00:04:27.000And we, you know, everyone here had to take a lot of arrows.
00:04:30.000And now I've seen the gains that have been made.
00:04:33.000This idea that the youngest generation in America, particularly males, would become one of the most conservative generations in America.
00:04:40.000The pushback, the rebellion against cancel culture, Donald Trump himself, these are huge gains.
00:04:51.000And I hope that all of us at least share one thing, that we want to maintain that, that we want to keep that, that we want to continue the momentum.
00:05:00.000And I also see kind of two different factions.
00:05:03.000You have some people who definitely are kind of trying to issue some purity tests.
00:05:10.000You have some people who are saying this needs to be the biggest tent possible.
00:05:57.000And how do we deal with people who maybe share some of our values in some capacities?
00:06:02.000But right now, we've seen some wedge issues.
00:06:04.000And yeah, some of it is obviously right now the conversation surrounding Israel.
00:06:10.000And I don't think that that necessarily should be a dividing issue where you consider someone who is not amongst you if they have a slightly different view of that.
00:06:31.000I'd like to propose that we view this through the lens of national borders versus state borders.
00:06:38.000Or you can say closed-handed issues versus open-handed issues.
00:06:41.000And then an important litmus test to determine who we consider to be our allies, to be our brothers, sisters, no Z's in arms.
00:06:51.000So to be a conservative, to be America first, to be right-wing in this country, I think people do need to meet some very specific standards, right, as far as national borders.
00:07:21.000Strong borders, immigration policy that specifically, in no uncertain terms, serves the American people's interest.
00:07:30.000A strong military to protect America's interests.
00:07:34.000Notice I didn't say pro-war or hawkish, but a means of enforcement so we can protect what it is that we want to preserve.
00:07:41.000I think these are issues on which there can be no compromise.
00:07:46.000I think pro-tradition, and even if you are not a Christian, pro-Christendom as the basis for Western civilization and morality.
00:07:54.000Meaning, I know plenty of atheists who aren't quite there in their faith walk yet, but they recognize that the Christian founding of this nation is fundamental to what it is that we want to preserve, and that we can't simply create a vacuum like Europe that can be filled with modern Islamism.
00:08:12.000This also would include pro-traditional gender roles, societally.
00:08:18.000They can prefer men's posteriors, but also recognize that the rearing of children, that the nuclear family, a father, a mother, a husband, a wife, these are fundamental to self-governance.
00:08:31.000That would also include being pro-natalist, meaning we don't say, hey, overpopulation is the problem.
00:08:38.000We want to preserve this country, and that means be fruitful and multiply.
00:08:43.000Pro-life, by the way, and I mean that in principle, because I also understand I know plenty of Christians who are very much pro-life, but understand that what is realistic is what we've seen in sending it back to the states.
00:09:05.000What I mean is this is what's beautiful about the conservative wing, the right wing, the Make America First wing, unlike the left, where you don't have to follow lockstep.
00:09:13.000We can have conversations and we can have differences of opinions.
00:09:20.000The degree to which the pro-life vision contrasts with our court system and how we eliminate as much abortion as possible.
00:09:31.000The degree of economic regulation, balancing free and open commerce with protectionism.
00:09:38.000That's one issue people say, where have you changed your mind?
00:09:40.000I've changed my mind on that because I realize that in protecting open markets and free exchange in the United States, we need to sometimes eliminate, mitigate bad actors internationally who've taken advantage of us.
00:09:56.000I think protecting American businesses and consumers.
00:10:00.000So not Wall Street, not giant banks, but protecting the American dream, meaning American entrepreneurship, innovation, and consumers who are free to purchase, who are free to vote with their dollar.
00:10:13.000And I think also an open-handed issue would be approach to Islamic containment.
00:10:16.000Notice that's not recognizing the threat of Islam as a political prescription, but how we deal with it.
00:10:24.000Because in the past, it's often been very hawkish, and that hasn't worked.
00:10:28.000Some people believe in an isolationist approach, or myself, I would say, a very low intervention approach.
00:10:36.000And some people believe that containing radical Islam requires a more proactive approach.
00:10:42.000We can disagree, but I don't think that this warrants expelling someone from the movement.
00:10:48.000So in identifying what we are, what we stand for, what we want to preserve, I think we need to all agree on the things that have to, that must be preserved, that the left wants to tear down.
00:10:58.000Freedom of speech, freedom of self-defense, the right to bear arms, pro-truth, America first, our citizens, not some kind of globalist internationalist agreement in the name of a new secular humanist religion.
00:11:14.000And that's going to be important as we get to transhumanism and as we get to AI.
00:11:18.000But we can have these disagreements on how our courts view certain policies, economic regulation, and how we approach international relationships.
00:11:28.000And then I want to give a litmus test.
00:11:32.000Because a lot of people say, yeah, I just, I don't want to exclude anyone, and I agree you should spend far more of your time punching left than punching right.
00:11:41.000But it's also a real problem if you have someone put on your team jersey, if you have someone claim that they are in your ranks and they're working against you.
00:11:50.000So the litmus test, who should not be included or considered America first or right-wing, conservative, whatever term you want to use, first off, whichever of those terms they use, you got to be fine with.
00:12:03.000If the person's views, values do not align with what I just listed as national borders, closed-handed issues.
00:12:10.000If someone is not pro-free speech, if someone is not pro-Second Amendment, if someone is not pro-truth, if someone is not pro-life in principle, if someone is not strong on immigration and understanding that to preserve the American way of life, we have to place the priorities of American citizens first, they are not amongst us.
00:12:30.000And I would consider them just as viable of a target as far as opposition as the left.
00:12:36.000And another important litmus test, and I think this is kind of where a lot of people find it a little murky.
00:12:44.000If the person who claims to be a part of this coalition spends more time attacking other conservatives, other America first patriots, over state borders, over open-handed issues, than they spend effectively fighting the left.
00:13:01.000Meaning if someone spends more time attacking people who align with you on those national borders, on immigration, on the Second Amendment, on the First Amendment, on being pro-natalist, if someone spends more time attacking them than attacking the entire movement,
00:13:20.000very well-funded, mobilized, evil, evil, evil movement attempting to tear down everything that has made the United States what it is, along with the gains that have been made in the last decade.
00:13:33.000If someone out there claims to be amongst you and spends more time punching right than they do, fighting those who seek to destroy this country, that's a pretty good sign that they're not a genuine part of this movement and they are not genuinely placing the interests of America first.
00:14:00.000You let me know if there's something I'm missing, if this helps you, if this helps define it so that we can, hopefully right now, link arms, stop the infighting, and not lose this territory that we've gained.
00:14:12.000Because I can tell you, if you're new to this, 2009, 2010, 11, 12, it was a bleak place.
00:14:21.000It was so bleak that Mitt Romney was the candidate.
00:14:32.000But it's a far cry from the options we've been provided with.
00:14:37.000And it's a far cry from the vision that the left has for this country.
00:14:42.000And I hope that all of us can get on board and focus on the real threat facing this country: Western civilization and its root that is modern Christendom.

00:22:32.000Can we kind of overcome these class divides that are fake?
00:22:35.000So if you're interested in not just reading books, so actually getting out here early in the morning, training with us, getting disciplined, and collectively working together, then we're the party for you.
00:22:44.000Yeah, that's what's going to be the right sell.
00:26:10.000So progress for the sake of progress means whatever it takes to get something new done, even if it makes no sense with the old policies or regulations that you tried to push through.
00:26:21.000But people refer to this as code switching.
00:26:23.000According to Britannica, it's the process of shifting from one linguistic code, language, or dialect to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting.
00:26:33.000Now, this is something we all know that we've seen on the left quite a bit.
00:26:50.000Newsom's back, acting black for effect.
00:26:53.000Lookin'whack, head shift back, got his crack, what a hack.
00:26:59.000But let me set the stage, because Newsom is not the only one, and it's really bad.
00:27:04.000And I just warned you, you're going to have to watch through your fingers because it's so cringe-inducing, and that word is overused, but it's appropriate today.
00:27:11.000This is something the left, it's not just something they've done.
00:27:16.000It's almost like it's in their handbook.
00:27:18.000If around black, if around brown, act like the thing.
00:30:34.000My mom was 19, pregnant, and divorced a few years later with two kids, came from no money, and just hustled, you know, worked hard, grinding every single day, two two and a half jobs, no books, literally two two and a half jobs, part-time bookkeeper.
00:31:42.000And so I was out there kind of raising myself, turning on the TV, started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with the Wonder Bread and five stacks of story.
00:32:17.000So just, and, and then, you know, then this student that was sh ⁇ student is in the back with his head down, all of a sudden started throwing the baseball a little faster than everyone else and started, you know, make a few free throws because I was sitting there practicing 500 of them every damn night.
00:32:31.000And when I look up in the stands, my dad's back up there.
00:35:06.000And going back to what I talked about before, the future of the right wing, we should have open dialogues, but we should not embrace Gavin Newsom because he claims to be less radical now.
00:35:15.000He was just saying, Gabby, why are you just on a podcast acting black?
00:35:23.000You can't if they are on today's progressive left.
00:35:27.000To discuss this phenomenon further, though, someone I'm not a fan of, but again, in wanting to make sure that we have a pretty pretty large tent, we welcome Republican Senator Lindsey Graham to the show.
00:35:42.000Senator Graham, thank you for taking the time, sir.
00:38:21.000So now Euromaxing has become like this thing, I guess, where people are like, hey, let's just be, let's act like we're more European is cool.
00:38:31.000You know, I think I could be like Alfie.
00:38:38.000He went sort of like viral, but for something I think that was a little bit older on X. And by the way, spoiler alert, he did the most European thing ever and walked it back tuck tail and apologize.
00:38:48.000But watch this as though you don't know that yet.
00:40:41.000But let's go through each one of these claims because I'm going to tell you something.
00:40:45.000And this is where I'm not on board with the white supremacist nationalists who want us to be like a European country because Europe has fallen.
00:41:29.000Yeah, those people there sometimes have a higher quality of life.
00:41:32.000But if you take, for example, Germans and put them in the United States, they have a much higher quality of life than Germans in Germany.
00:41:38.000The same can be said for Danish people in the United States compared to in Denmark.
00:41:42.000Swedes in the United States have a 50% higher standard of living than Swedes in Sweden.
00:41:48.000So if you take people with what used to be a pretty monolithic culture and a decent work ethic and then place them in a land of opportunity, they do better.
00:45:27.000Again, I have to break these up to really, really short claims because he's very stupid.
00:45:32.000The truth is, actually, this one's really tough because you've heard me talk about how many people are saved by guns versus how many lives are taken by guns and most mass shootings occurring in gun-free zones.
00:45:43.000You can go listen to the 3-3 podcast on that.
00:45:45.000But that's for the American audience so that you can learn about firearms.
00:45:49.000Internationally, it's actually far more stark of a contrast.
00:47:59.000And Mississippi is doing better than when people act like this is the thing.
00:48:03.000I think that Europeans are more refined.
00:48:05.000It's like, okay, so look at UK, look at France, look at Italy, look at a lot of the EU on average.
00:48:10.000You know, you think it's sort of exotic.
00:48:12.000Their per capita GDP is lower than Mississippi.
00:48:16.000And their best, where you think of, you know, the Germans and super advanced and everything sterile and flying cars, they are pretty much exactly on par with Mississippi.
00:48:26.000For those who don't know Mississippi, that's not a good question.
00:49:16.000So you're right, we have traffic, but that's because, you know, like even in Mississippi, people often, more often than not, it's almost like it's the rule, they have their own car because gas is three times more expensive in the EU.
00:49:32.000And of course, the United States has lower taxes than pretty much every major EU country.
00:49:36.000So a lot of people have, it's almost like if people have the ability to purchase cars and to fuel them, they choose that over mass public transit.
00:49:55.000But I like the fact that I can drive my own car and I can afford to fuel it.
00:49:59.000You look at that, and I mean, I get it.
00:50:01.000You have to see a silver line like, oh, I can't afford a car.
00:50:04.000I can't afford gasoline and our milk are sold in bags, but at least I get to ride on this disgusting subway while the homeless man masturbates into my hat.
00:50:15.000Yeah, this guy says America has no trains.
00:50:17.000If America has no trains, then where did I get molested last July?
00:52:21.000To give you an idea, just as an example, from 82 to 2010, the United States avoided 265,000 colon cancer deaths alone compared to Europe because of treatment.
00:52:30.000If you have some kind of a terminal illness or serious disease, the single biggest determining factor in whether you live or die would be: do you live in the United States and have access to our health care system?
00:52:40.000By the way, that's across different class lines.
00:52:45.000You're still better off as a poor American than you are as a wealthy German.
00:52:49.000That being said, the numbers get a little bit warped because I don't know if you know this, most wealthy people from Europe, they engage in medical tourism and come here.
00:53:30.000The business car wash manager makes $125K.
00:53:33.000Well, yeah, if I'm a doctor, I don't want to be, I don't want to be hitting your knee with the reflex hammer just so I can buy my boss a yacht.
00:54:45.000Here's the next claim that this man made.
00:54:48.000Just in case you've been convinced by these silly Europeans who've offered nothing to the world in the last century, that in America, the science is fake news, but conspiracy theory subtle.
00:54:57.000Science is fake news, but conspiracy theories sell.
00:56:58.000Also, it seems to me like you don't understand that cholesterol is not used as the same metric it used to be for overall cardiac health.
00:57:06.000Like you can have slightly high overall cholesterol, but if your triglycerides are low and your HDL is high, you're actually at lower risk than people who might have really low cholesterol but have high triglycerides or have low HDL.
00:57:16.000Like there's a difference between LDL and oxidized LDL.
00:57:20.000Again, this ball has been largely advanced in the United States.
00:57:24.000And if you don't buy into any of that, usually high cholesterol is also just accompanied with higher testosterone because cholesterol is needed to produce a lot of these sex hormones.
00:57:36.000So but really, if your people have high IQ and they have low cholesterol in Germany, like why haven't you benefited the world since you tried to take over it?
00:58:30.000God, it must be so nice to be an old money European rich kid making videos and hiking the Alps.
00:58:38.000I get to go hike and walk around in the Alps and contribute nothing to society because of the social safety net which will collapse under me and tell you that you Americans are fat and don't get to stay at hostels.
01:00:09.000Hey, if that wasn't something that you sort of just skimped out on, so that you could provide all these social safety nets, these benefits to your, then you'd be paying your fair share of NATO.
01:00:31.000It's like the son who's a freeloader at 29 years old, living at home, telling everyone else how his dad's an asshole and doesn't know anything.
01:02:03.000I'll do it as a European, because if I was as arrogant as a European, but you know, extolling America, I'd be like, well, listen, it's better to be American because we've invented pretty much everything that's ever happened in the last century after we kicked your ass and trying to take over the world.
01:02:17.000And after that, rather than conquering you and making you a part of our colony, we decided to innovate and provide you with great technology as well as foot the bill for the security that you're far too puss aside to secure yourself.
01:02:28.000We have more uninhabited lands than anywhere on your continent.
01:02:33.000And not only do we have one, but we have five great lakes.
01:02:36.000And even our sixth kind of great lake is Lake St. Clair, which would butt rape your lakes because it's not even close and we don't even consider it great.
01:02:47.000Plus, we have the ocean like everywhere.
01:03:28.000But after Americans and Europeans, Democrats and Republicans, expats, and veterans started a fing war in the comment section, this is what I realized.
01:03:36.000This world simply doesn't need more pointing fingers, division, and blaming each other for the problems.
01:04:32.000I don't want to work together with someone who wants to take from my family in order to fund some crusade to fix climate change that isn't an existential problem.
01:04:41.000And even if it was, there's nothing that German Jake Paul could do to fix it.
01:04:45.000I'm not going to link arms or find common ground with someone who hates everything that makes up the basis of Western civilization.
01:04:53.000These people have nothing to offer but selfish motives and then, in his apology, platitudes.
