So it's interesting that you're getting under so many people's skin, even though you're not yet that influential.
00:00:07.840
You may be amongst your circle because people probably know you're going to be somebody, you're going to be a player, but in the public eye, they don't know you.
00:00:27.520
And Reagan Battalion posts it, and now you're saying you're being canceled.
00:00:31.400
So I'm being blacklisted from everything in the conservative movement, from CPAC, from Turning Point.
00:00:38.880
This is when my name is getting the scarlet letter.
00:00:42.780
I'm officially being kind of kicked out because they're saying, you know, none of these people liked me, and they were all attacking me on Twitter constantly.
00:00:50.620
But this was the moment when they said, we got them, because this is how this worked back then.
00:00:54.840
And now, obviously, everything goes on Twitter, and everybody's controversial.
00:00:58.160
But back then, you had a clip like that, which was perceived as legitimately racist or anti-Semitic, and you're kind of done for it.
00:01:10.800
Have you yet walked up to Ben with his kid crossing the streets with his family or not yet?
00:01:19.100
So that happens if you went from 10 to 20 when she said, I'm blocking you and a couple of the people at Daily Wire did.
00:01:28.020
Then you go to 20 to 50 when you find out about the media matters and the messages being sent out to other places to censor you, claims.
00:01:35.120
But you know the other guy at RSPN called you saying, this girl keeps calling me, telling me what you said to cancel you the last two weeks.
00:01:41.200
Then this happens here with Leadership Institute.
00:01:43.680
Then the Amy Faulkner situation video going to Reagan Battalion.
00:01:48.780
If it goes 10 to 20, 20 to 50, where are you going?
00:01:51.820
Okay, so now it's like this is when you're born.
00:01:57.900
So you're still 18, and this is what's happening to you.
00:02:11.180
Ben Shapiro quote tweeted that Reagan Battalion video.
00:02:31.840
Would you say that me having sex with my dog is the same thing as me having sex with a black man?
00:02:50.480
If I was an African American, I would be very annoyed, upset, frustrated, angry with you, and somebody who could say, that is racist.
00:03:06.740
And the average person, and I'm just talking to you, I'm trying to be really hearing you out.
00:03:13.540
It's going to be a very easy interview as we're going through.
00:03:28.960
Three-second clip, and you can't even see 80% of the screen.
00:03:35.120
Now, you and I both know, the way that we talk on a show like this...
00:03:44.260
Now, that's a 3 a.m. conversation with 18-year-olds.
00:03:48.120
I think that we're all talking about, we're all political people.
00:03:56.440
Because I'm not one that condones that behavior.
00:04:00.380
I've told my kids, I swear to God, if I ever had a conversation with my boys last week, I said,
00:04:05.540
if I ever hear you use the N-word, I swear to God, you're not going to like what I do to you.
00:04:13.620
My kids were going to a school, one of the best schools in Florida that has the highest SAT scores
00:04:19.980
The owner of that school's son says the N-word, who's a white guy, says the N-word.
00:04:25.540
The father who owns the school, the board decides to kick his own son out of his school.
00:04:33.680
And one of my kids just went to Yale for three weeks for some summer camp that somebody else was holding in Yale.
00:04:38.800
But he goes and comes back slightly different language.
00:04:47.080
I can't judge you because during my time, Instagram didn't exist.
00:04:56.680
And let me tell you, there's a lot of stuff we did at nightclubs and Army and videos we're on.
00:05:02.780
The way we speak at 2 o'clock in the morning, maybe not at this level.
00:05:09.580
So at a young age, you have to be aware you're a very smart guy.
00:05:13.380
You have to be aware that that kind of stuff gets caught.
00:05:19.940
But two, you have a higher risk you're going through because you're part of the social media family, not social media family, social media generation that we didn't go through at 46.
00:05:33.280
The lesson is that this sort of thing, this is how political control is maintained.
00:05:40.200
Which is to say that we have a culture where you don't even have to do anything wrong if you say anything wrong ever in public, in private.
00:05:49.220
Even if it's not inherently wrong, if it sounds wrong, someone might be secretly recording and use it to make you look bad and then destroy your career or your reputation.
00:06:03.040
Like, let's keep in mind, take Shapiro, for example.
00:06:05.680
And this is something I pointed out when this happened.
00:06:07.300
When Shapiro was 18 or 19 years old, he wrote an article on Town Hall, which said that population transfer is not a dirty word.
00:06:15.640
In other words, meaning we need to take all of the Palestinians and kick them out of Israel.
00:06:19.900
He's advocating for ethnic cleansing on his Town Hall blog.
00:06:24.580
Now, you could say whatever you want about that.
00:06:34.640
So, is he saying moving them from there to a different place?
00:06:43.880
All right, so raise your hand if you have the Ben Shapiro, August 1st of 2003, which is 22 years ago.
00:06:49.460
Raise your hand if you have a shock, that breakdown of a so-called Middle East roadmap.
00:06:51.960
If you are raising your hand, give yourself a nice heart slap across the chops.
00:06:55.640
Maybe that will make you wake up from your reverie of self-education.
00:07:13.820
Bulldozing house of homicide bombers is useless.
00:07:16.100
Instituting ongoing curfew users, roadblocks, touch fences, many negotiations.
00:07:19.920
Some have rightly suggested that Israel be allowed to decapitate the terrorist leadership of Palestinian Authority.
00:07:33.600
Okay, so rightly, meaning they're in the right to suggest that Israel should be allowed to decapitate.
00:07:42.860
I mean, killing is the easiest way to put it, but decapitate, doesn't that mean to a...
00:07:52.120
But if you scroll down, the basis of the article is, when he says transfer, he's saying population transfer.
00:07:58.460
In other words, saying this should not be stigmatized.
00:08:02.480
That's the title of the article is, transfer is not a dirty word.
00:08:05.180
If you read the whole article, that's the whole point of it.
00:08:14.600
If you believe that Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer
00:08:17.460
the Palestinian and the Israel Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and Israel proper.
00:08:24.520
It's an ugly solution, but it's the only solution, and it's far less ugly than the prospect of bloody
00:08:31.720
So, okay, can you go to ChadGBT and type in, what does, give me the word, what does the
00:08:44.620
He says, remove the Palestinian-era population from Judea, Samaria, Gaza.
00:08:53.840
He's saying to displace them, to take them and deport them somewhere else.
00:08:59.200
Okay, and so to you, would you define that as ethnic cleansing?
00:09:08.020
But it's not ethnic cleansing, like just wipe them off the face of the earth.
00:09:14.620
But here's the point I'm trying to make, is that is an extremely controversial statement.
00:09:20.520
I mean, could you imagine if someone said, whites and blacks can never live together in
00:09:26.660
We've got to take all the black people and send them back to Africa.
00:09:30.620
It's racist to say, Arabs can't live in Israel.
00:09:34.340
He wrote that under his name on a blog, but he never got canceled for saying that.
00:09:39.760
But I got secretly recorded when I was 18 in a private conversation, and people say, and
00:09:46.020
he himself quote tweets and says, this is concerning, to amplify it to everybody in the conservative
00:09:51.400
movement, that's what I say, it is selectively enforced.
00:09:55.320
Yeah, but if he would have written this, the other way around, let's say he's not a Jew, and
00:10:03.160
he writes it about getting rid of Israel or making a comment about Jews, that would be
00:10:10.400
the equivalent of saying having sex with a dog is the same as degenerate, the way you
00:10:20.160
And the reason why I say that is because in 03, who's the president in 03?
00:10:26.360
So in 03, how pro-Israel were we in 03 in America?
00:10:31.140
So this is a probably a 80% agreed message in 2003.
00:10:38.740
So I'm just trying to time the temperature of when it was written.
00:10:43.940
Like if he wrote this today, I am sure it's not going to be 80% support that he's going
00:10:53.200
Please, after what happened with that school situation.
00:11:00.980
And it was in that moment I defended myself very strongly because they tried to use this
00:11:05.740
And by they, I'm talking about Ben Shapiro, Cassie Dillon, Cabot Phillips.
00:11:15.640
And, you know, of course, they're expecting you to go out and apologize.
00:11:18.280
They're expecting you to go out and say, I'm sorry.
00:11:23.040
I'm not sorry because this is a political attack.
00:11:28.880
You know, because you said the comment is racist.
00:11:30.680
And would I phrase it that way if I was saying it in an official public capacity?
00:11:35.640
But we tend not to do those things when we think we're in private, in confidence.
00:11:40.260
You kind of understand that there's some discretion there.
00:11:42.940
And that's not to say that I'm, you know, thought I could get away with it.
00:11:46.580
But we don't speak in a lawyerly way when we're among friends.
00:11:58.440
How much of it are you saying that in that moment because you're trying to be a shock jock and you're
00:12:11.800
A girl takes her phone out, starts secretly recording, and says, is having sex with a
00:12:25.460
Nick, I'm talking to you in a way as if you're my nephew or my son.
00:12:34.400
I'm just talking to you as I'm new to this game.
00:12:37.420
I'm a business guy, so I haven't been, when I hear the histories, I don't know everyone's
00:12:43.480
We don't know the history of everybody, but we're willing to learn.
00:12:47.660
The way I see it, Nick, is one of my kids is very political, very political, more than
00:12:56.580
So he's always, you know, yesterday he's at the Charlie's Memorial, and this was one of
00:13:01.480
the most difficult days of his life, witnessing Charlie passed away.
00:13:04.980
This is a very strong kid, 30 minutes on my shoulders going because of what happened
00:13:09.380
He's sitting right there at the event, listening to everything for five hours, and he's loving
00:13:18.960
The way I look at you and the way I look at Charlie is one of my kids is probably going
00:13:27.120
to pursue this route, and he's going to go into politics.
00:13:31.240
And I think you have an opportunity to mentor them to learn from the mistakes you made.
00:13:41.180
Because whether you know it or not, you've got a lot of kids that follow you, okay?
00:13:47.880
There's more 13-year-olds following you than they're following me.
00:13:54.680
Just like you were following maybe somebody and looking up at them.
00:13:58.260
I think you've got to be careful, but I also think it comes with the territory.
00:14:01.420
You know, like when I was growing up, I was hanging out with gangsters in LA, and I remember
00:14:05.520
one day I'm in Vegas, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning, I'm in the street with a 15-year-old
00:14:09.780
kid that's driving a car, and he's got a gun that I don't know he's got a gun.
00:14:13.620
Guys pull up here to our left, handful of African-American guys, where are you from, homie?
00:14:22.160
We're out there running in the streets of Vegas.
00:14:25.040
You've got to be careful who you get in the car with.
00:14:26.640
That couldn't have been the last day of my life.
00:14:28.740
I go upstairs, my dad sees me, my heart's like shaking.
00:14:32.980
I don't know if so much of that is the risk today.
00:14:39.080
That comes with certain backlash and responsibility, but I also think, and this is going to give
00:14:46.460
me some trouble, I also think we should be forgiving.
00:14:49.640
I also think we should be forgiving for Ben writing that, as well as you saying it.
00:14:54.300
I also think it needs to be like, listen, yeah, I mean, maybe he said this.
00:15:00.320
I've seen some stuff with mom and some of the stuff she said, and maybe it's the influence
00:15:07.800
I don't, I don't see that, but we also have to be a little bit forgiving because if we
00:15:12.220
don't, and we stoke it more, you're going to get worse and worse and worse, right?
00:15:16.000
The next person is going to want to get even more and more radical.
00:15:19.720
Well, but just real, I just want to say one thing, if I can't, just real, because I hear
00:15:23.480
you and I agree with you and, and I try to tell my followers now, I shake my head when
00:15:27.780
my followers are trying to be edgier, edgelording, trolling, whatever.
00:15:34.900
And in politics, you do got to be careful what you say, because you're right.
00:15:38.600
The only reason I say that is to kind of paint a picture from my entire 18th year on earth.
00:15:47.980
It's not like I was out here being problematic, being hateful, being a monster.
00:15:53.380
It's that a decision was made that I had the wrong views.
00:15:57.860
And because I had the wrong views, there was a basically ceaseless political attack, which
00:16:03.540
is, you know, I make a tweet about the double standard on Israel and Shapiro's amplifying
00:16:08.560
that I have a show and someone's calling my boss saying, get this guy fired.
00:16:13.980
Maybe they're collaborating with the left to get me fired up to and including strangers
00:16:19.760
that I don't even really know are secretly recording me, setting me up.
00:16:26.740
And they said, we're going to use in a careless remark to take the guy out.
00:16:31.640
So, you know, people see here's a guy that said a bad thing.
00:16:37.300
I'm just explaining that's the side that a lot of people don't see.
00:16:42.840
And that's why I'm having these questions with you.
00:16:44.480
And by the way, I wish this podcast existed because I don't know if there's one where
00:16:49.820
someone's asking you for people to know, how did you become the way you became?
00:16:53.660
That's why I wanted to take this approach with you.
00:16:56.800
If you want to text me or call me or ask me a question, you can find me on Manect.
