00:01:08.000Hey, guys. How's it going? I have a feeling that you have heard about the Super Bowl.
00:01:13.000It's everywhere. The halftime show, the controversies, the politics.
00:01:18.000We will get into that. We're also going to talk about the Democrats and the way that they have approached their anti-white agenda, announcing it out loud.
00:01:28.000While the Republicans are basically running scared because Donald Trump posted something on social media.
00:01:36.000Once again, of course, the GOP is full of spineless traitors and the Democrats continue to stay on message all the time.
00:01:44.000So let's dive in, I guess, to the first story.
00:01:48.000Last week, Donald Trump had a video appear on his feed on Truth Social.
00:01:56.000This is an old video. It's been around for, I think, several months, maybe even a year at this point.
00:02:02.000It's one of those boomer edits where, you know, they cut in a bunch of the big floating heads, as you can see here from the video on the screen.
00:02:14.000And it's I've always found these things not funny at all.
00:02:19.000I don't get it. But, man, old people love this on social media.
00:02:24.000They they can't get enough of it. They share it everywhere.
00:02:27.000Now, this one had multiple different members of the Democratic Party as animals.
00:02:33.000But as you can see at the top, it had the Obamas and man, the Obamas are monkeys in this scenario.
00:02:41.000I'll go ahead and play you the video here first and we'll react here in a moment.
00:02:46.000So as you can see here, it's just a lot of people.
00:03:16.000It's a lot of different Democrats, you know, in pictures being being having their heads imposed over different animals in this scenario.
00:03:27.000Obviously, you have multiple Democrats who aren't black being put on monkeys and you have multiple black Democrats being put on other animals.
00:03:39.000Sometimes they're a tortoise. Sometimes, you know, it's Joe Biden who's a monkey.
00:03:43.000But yes, the Obamas were placed on, you know, their heads are placed on the bodies of monkeys.
00:03:50.000This is dumb, obviously, like it's very stupid. I'm not sure who finds it funny.
00:03:55.000I guess Donald Trump, maybe. I don't know.
00:03:58.000Later on, Trump said that ultimately he didn't put it on his social media account that an intern did.
00:04:24.000But but ultimately the point is that this video, while dumb and not very funny, is obviously deeply inoffensive.
00:04:34.000Other than if you're desperately hoping to try to make some connection between the Obamas being, you know, having their heads on a jungle animal and racism.
00:04:44.000Again, you can see we just play a little bit more of the video.
00:04:48.000Anyway, I don't I really don't understand how this is entertaining for a lot of people.
00:05:00.000But ultimately, you can see that there's nothing particular about the races involved.
00:05:06.000Once again, you know, yes, the stereotype of black people being monkeys is an old racist stereotype.
00:05:14.000However, there are multiple black people on other animals, you know, turtles.
00:05:19.000And I guess but like a like a lemur or something or that is a monkey.
00:05:27.000You know, you see him on these other animals and then you see, you know, Joe Biden as a monkey, even though he's not black.
00:05:33.000So clearly the whoever made this video and Trump didn't make the video.
00:05:37.000Everyone acknowledges that whoever made this video wasn't trying to be racist.
00:05:42.000It was clearly spreading just jungle animals and different Democrats on those animals.
00:05:50.000So the video itself is not even actually racist.
00:05:54.000But on top of that, the incredible outcry from not just Democrats like, you know, they're going to use any excuse to get angry at Donald Trump.
00:06:05.000And it's not even just, you know, anti Trump Republicans.
00:06:08.000You know, you expect kind of the the Bill Crystals, if he even qualifies as a Republican anymore.
00:06:13.000But you know what I'm talking about, all the real angry, aggressive never Trump guys.
00:06:17.000You can expect them to look for any ultimate way, you know, ultimately any way to bag on Trump, denounce Trump, find some way to create controversy, get other Republicans to denounce Trump.
00:06:31.000You understand why the Democrats and the ever Trump Republicans would do this.
00:06:53.000It disappears literally in an hour or two off the media after MSNBC has done a little outrage segment, unless they can get a lot of Republicans to react to it.
00:07:24.000And they do whatever the media tells them to.
00:07:26.000Like, they have no real understanding of a political agenda.
00:07:31.000They're not actually fighting for a cause.
00:07:33.000These people are ultimately just kind of like the B team of the political elite that are assigned to the hinterlands to rule over the chuds, to rule over the, you know, stupid white middle Americans or something.
00:07:46.000They have no actual goals, no real understanding of power, no strategy, like none of it.
00:07:54.000It's embarrassing to watch these people fall over themselves, like they're somehow going to be ingratiated into the good graces of the New York Times or, you know, the CNN if they just come out and denounce Donald Trump in this way.
00:08:27.000So there's no reason to beat it to death.
00:08:29.000However, I want to contrast that today because this is the big point.
00:08:34.000OK, the big point is the way the Republicans reacted to this as opposed to what the Democrats were doing just a few days later.
00:08:43.000So while the Republicans are denouncing Donald Trump is an evil racist and this video is so offensive and we absolutely have to denounce it, because ultimately, if we don't fight this, then people will think that we're big meanie heads who don't like black people or something.
00:08:58.000And then and then all the things they said about us will be true.
00:09:02.000Yeah, the Republicans do this stuff, of course.
00:09:04.000But what do the Democrats do when something much worse happens, far worse happens?
00:09:25.000And he said this in a recent interview.
00:09:29.000Tell people the day the Latino, African-American, Asian and other communities realize that they are that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning because we are the majority in this country.
00:09:44.000Now we are. We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair.
00:09:51.000But the problem is our communities are divided.
00:10:16.000He was supposed to take a pledge of loyalty to the United States.
00:10:20.000He was supposed to be somebody who is saying he had nothing but good intentions of good moral character when he became an American in theory.
00:10:32.000But he's not because he's a paperwork American, right?
00:12:52.000Now, this guy goes on television and says explicitly, explicitly what guys like me and many others have been called woke right for telling you.
00:13:07.000And that's ultimately why I love the video, because it's just mask off.
00:13:12.000People who are lying to you and saying, oh, if you notice that like actually large amounts of immigrants are coming in with ethnic cabals that want to take over the country because they hate white people.
00:15:56.000But if we take if we recognize we all have the same enemy white people in America, we can get together and take over.
00:16:05.000The only reason we haven't gotten together in one yet is because we're busy fighting each other.
00:16:11.000Once we get once we ban our little ethnic coalition together and stop fighting each other, we can take America away from all those white people.
00:16:49.000That was considered like an alt right conspiracy theory five years ago.
00:16:54.000Like if you went around saying that this was, you know, their plan and, you know, that this was what was going on and, you know, the whole time.
00:22:40.000It, it's incredible that you can't seem to find more than a handful of Republicans to make a big deal about this.
00:22:48.000And bear, and of course, like no Democrats, but they're all losing their minds over Trump reposting a video someone else edited that wasn't even racist.
00:22:58.000Like they don't care about racism and neither should you.
00:23:20.000If I want to point out, I try to use anti white bigotry when it's against white people, because racism is just an amorphous thing that only matters.
00:23:29.000When Democrats apply it, Republicans can't cancel someone for being racist.
00:23:33.000Obviously like this guy is just saying his plan to team up against white people.
00:23:38.000And he doesn't care because what are you going to do?
00:23:49.000They're not going to destroy his life the way they would anyone else.
00:23:53.000They will spend an entire news cycle on, or a couple of news cycles, a couple of days on Donald Trump with a video, but nothing, nothing about this.
00:24:34.000Cooperators investing in your future together.
00:24:37.000Mutual funds are offered through Cooperators Financial Investment Services, Inc. to Canadian residents, except those in Quebec and the territories.
00:24:44.000Segregated funds are administered by Cooperators Life Insurance Company.
00:24:46.000Life insurance is underwritten by Cooperators Life Insurance Company.
00:25:26.000So if you become a minority in a country that only treated minorities well because they were a bunch of Anglo-Christians who had that belief system.
00:26:53.000With the explicit purpose of hurting white people, taking their stuff, making them a minority, making them, you know, putting them in a closet, making them marginalized.
00:27:04.000Like, that's the whole purpose of the Democratic Party.
00:27:07.000How do you think you get, like, trans, the kids, people in the same party with radical Islamists?
00:27:14.000How do you get them to occupy the same space?
00:27:19.000How do you get blacks and Asians together, even though, like, for instance, the Stop Asian Hate movement had to be shut down because they figured out that it was mainly black people beating up Asians?
00:27:31.000Like, how do you get two groups that are otherwise constantly doing violence to each other?
00:27:36.000Well, really, one group doing violence to the other.
00:27:38.000How do you get those two groups together and get them to work together in the same political coalition?
00:27:43.000You just make sure they hate white people enough.
00:28:47.000So when a guy like this announces that that's the plan, like plain and simple with no ideological obfuscation, it's time to believe him and to act accordingly.
00:35:28.000But I do know this is a thing that happens quite a bit.
00:35:31.000And, you know, eventually, once the rift gets large enough, Thanksgiving, Christmas, these family holidays, they almost feel like they exist only to become battlefields, only to become political soccer balls.
00:35:42.000Right. The original meaning of the people coming together kind of goes away.
00:35:47.000And it really just goes, OK, who's going to debate what who's going to call who a racist or a liberal or whatever, a communist like, you know, that that feels like just like the on the pins on, you know, type of, you know, walking on eggshells conversation that you go into in every way of these events.
00:36:07.000And the Super Bowl is starting to feel the same way. America is just a dysfunctional family.
00:36:12.000And so every time we get together for something, it's no longer about the thing. It's no longer about Christmas. It's no longer about Thanksgiving. It's no longer about Jesus or the turkey or the pilgrims.
00:36:22.000It's about what political arguments we can get into. Where's the drama going to be? And same thing with the Super Bowl. It's just become this event. OK, we all get together for the Super Bowl and let's see which side can be more weird or crazy or extreme or political about it.
00:36:39.500Right. Like that. Who won the Super Bowl in the same way that you have, like, who won the divorce or who, you know, something like that. Right. And so it just becomes more and more frustrating to discuss it.
00:36:49.720Now, a lot of people on the right like to counter signal sports and be like, oh, the sports ball, you're wasting your life. It's the sports ball. Now, look.
00:36:58.280I think that there is an unhealthy obsession with sports that will distract you from what is going on in life, will give you your breads and your circuses. Right. I think that's a problem.
00:37:09.500So I'm with you 100 percent on that. People shouldn't be watching sports all the time instead of doing real things in actual life, having real communities, having families, achieving things, building virtue. I'm with you 100 percent.
00:37:22.220That said, watching sports is probably the most reliable human pastime across a lot of civilizations.
00:37:34.000Right. Whether it's the Colosseum in Rome, it's the Olympics in Greece, it's the you know, it's the chariot races in Byzantium.
00:37:44.060Like, ultimately, this is a classic pastime. Now, in those examples, especially the Roman and the Byzantine one, we can look at ways in which sports were unhealthy.
00:37:55.000OK, like, obviously, the breads and the circuses are what distracted people, you know, the games and the feasts were distracted people from Rome going bad.
00:38:04.920Like, Byzantines literally had to, like, fight wars or, you know, like riots that occurred after sporting events.
00:38:12.200So, like, unhealthy sports watching is a problem in many cultures throughout history, too.
00:38:18.100But, like, I'm not going to pretend like it's not normal for human beings, especially men, to watch sports.
00:38:26.120So I kind of I kind of I push back against the sports ball thing because I think that's in some ways it kind of feels like a theater kid being like, oh, well, I don't do sports.
00:40:19.500But we do have to talk about the Super Bowl because it, again, weaves in to this like shameless anti-white display that we've seen from the Democrats and the politicians here.
00:40:30.840So I apologize in advance for playing you Bad Bunny.
00:40:38.220Now, I have never in my life had heard a Bad Bunny song, or at least I should say I've never knowingly heard one.
00:40:44.900And I probably I'm sure there's if he's popular, maybe it's been playing why I walk by when I walk by something or I'm in a store.
00:40:51.840But I have I'd never heard of this guy.
00:40:54.460I never heard a single bit of his music.
00:40:56.120I had no clue who he was, what he looked like, any of it.
