hey uber boyo how are you doing good my man you can call me steph as well oh steph why i might
00:00:06.000
just continue to call you uber boyo that was actually on the birth cert so maybe it's more
00:00:10.200
accurate yeah i'll call you i'll call you steph yeah well whichever you prefer you know
00:00:18.640
okay well let's get started we'll have to talk more about this i might save
00:00:23.940
this for thursday when the other shoe has dropped but um it does seem like donald trump is going to
00:00:32.200
be indicted over election interference with j6 possibly treason i guess what this sets up for
00:00:40.880
me just my immediate take is that you know if we thought the 2016 election was kind of existential
00:00:50.040
you know it's like are we going to be a nation with borders or not and then and that it was
00:00:56.460
existential and then in 2020 you know i jumped off the bandwagon but everyone else was like are we
00:01:02.720
going to have fair elections or is the deep state going to steal everything from us and i think 2024
00:01:09.160
i don't think i'm exaggerating it's almost like setting up for the last election
00:01:14.060
and i i don't want to sound hysterical but trump you win or you go to jail and even if
00:01:25.160
the doj wants to offer him an olive branch and maybe keep actual jail off the table or commute the
00:01:35.400
sentence or whatever you know when or you're dead is how it's going to be perceived
00:01:43.000
and i don't know i just i see a lot of interesting extremism i i don't i you know i i know that's
00:01:54.200
a loaded term but i i see that in the air i mean even something as kind of small as nick fuentes's
00:02:00.340
event um nick fuentes you know he gave a speech where it was this weird combination of like zoomer
00:02:10.020
streaming gossip and extreme christian nihilism i don't know how to describe it it was he he spent
00:02:19.660
a lot of the first half of the speech bashing other streamers and talking about how dudes are
00:02:26.240
banging their wives left and right and all this you know he no longer likes i dubs or whatever the
00:02:33.440
hell i mean there there was a lot of just um uh you know detritus that i i don't i don't care about
00:02:41.000
apparently his his people do but then when he switches into a different mode he you know everyone's
00:02:50.680
on on twitter they're posting this clip of him saying basically we're willing to die in this war
00:02:56.780
against effectively the jews and because we're willing to die we're going to make them die
00:03:02.460
and he actually wants to eliminate enemies of christ from america and the planet so i i presume that
00:03:11.640
might also mean me um but perhaps i'll be uh let off the hook a bit uh but it's very strong rhetoric
00:03:20.520
and even beyond that there's this momentum ori of of like you are already dead you know you your being
00:03:27.160
is towards death and this life doesn't matter and i think that in the you know on the whole it doesn't
00:03:37.280
matter you're you're going to be judged before god by what you do now you could take that on one level
00:03:42.340
and say that oh this is the typical kind of quietest you know piety of christians where they deny the earth
00:03:52.180
and all they all they want to do is you know read their dusty old books and then walk into the grave
00:03:58.280
like a bed or something like that but that kind of mentality can go in reverse where you're already dead
00:04:07.540
the only thing that matters is judgment before god and god wants you to eliminate the enemies of
00:04:15.000
jesus christ his son um that seems like that can be an extremely motivating force there there's a kind
00:04:24.580
of desperation that i sense in him and uh so anyway uh i if that kind of talk is in the air and and
00:04:36.920
nick also mentioned something that that is absolutely true when this also goes for bap who i have in a
00:04:43.200
weird way i have like a lot less respect for than i do nick fuentes like i've in a way no interest in
00:04:50.700
bap but nick is kind of interesting um but it's like he said this in his event you know all these people
00:05:01.160
at tp usa they're also fans of mine they're attending both conferences uh they people from
00:05:08.900
america first or the nicker crowd are infiltrating uh tp usa and that that's actually true there there
00:05:16.780
was actually there was a doxing from a journalist i i just happened to see um on twitter where it's like
00:05:24.280
this nicker fan who has all these photos with nick is now benny johnson's social media director or
00:05:31.020
something so perhaps he nick is overstating matters but he's not wrong and um so i i don't know i i think
00:05:39.780
we i i think we're headed for an existential crisis and it's all kind of stupid and it's easy to make
00:05:49.060
fun of and trump you know we love to mimic him and he's a goofball and he failed the president all
00:05:55.900
that stuff or nick is some crazy little zoomer incel whatever all that you know it's easy to make fun of
00:06:01.800
these things but i see the passion and the power of fanaticism and belief in them and i don't see
00:06:11.660
that among liberals you know we liberals like myself we we're just we just want trump out and we want
00:06:19.960
old man joe to kind of you know steer the boat in a steady manner we don't expect much just be normal
00:06:28.120
bro that's what we want i'm speaking for all biden voters but i think i'm correct uh they don't want
00:06:36.440
that um they are talking about being willing to die and that's something pretty powerful
