Thank you. | |
Thank you. | ||
They, they see America merely as a vessel. | ||
I mean, only a class of people so rootless in their position. | ||

Give me another one. | ||
- The video is who Nick Frentice is. | ||
Sometimes you go to an event, and you didn't know, oh, that dude, that guy's random. | ||
I didn't know he was here, and I didn't know his past things. | ||
Everybody knows Fuentes. | ||
Jesus, how many of you are like, why are conservatives so much better at politics? | ||
Five. | ||
No, it's not conservatives, it's just him. | ||
The real vanguard of the conservative movement was at a competing adjacent event. | ||
Every day and every week and every year that we live in this country, do they care about our health? | ||
Stop America first. | ||
I know what you do. | ||
Every day and every week and every year that we live in this country, do they care about our health? | ||
No! | ||
They prescribe poison to us from the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
They're poisoning us with the seed oils that we're eating, the high fructose corn syrup. | ||
They're poisoning the water with heavy metals, which is in the tap water. | ||
They're poisoning us with what's on television and out of Hollywood and pornography. | ||
They're poisoning us in every way that you can imagine, but we're supposed to believe. | ||
Now, suddenly, they care so much about our public health. | ||
That's why they're doing this? | ||
Does anybody believe that? | ||
No! | ||
They don't care about our health. | ||
unidentified
|
They don't care about the public. | |
They don't care about any of us. | ||
unidentified
|
What they care about, ultimately, is profits. | |
You're looking for the tyranny coming to America? | ||
It's here, right now. | ||
unidentified
|
Now is the time to take a stand. | |
We are faced with the question about whether or not we will get the vaccine and surrender and capitulate to the system. | ||
A devil-worshipping system that hates us and hates our country. | ||
The answer has to be always no. | ||
I will not complain. | ||
I stop playing games. | ||
And at any moment, I can hit that YAY button. | ||
They said trust no man, but you obviously ain't foolin' here, y'all. | ||
Playin' cards in the dark, but you can't take a drink when girls in the huddle. | ||
My mama said trust no hoes, use a rubber, not that. | ||
One, two, stop the track. | ||
Let me get this in person. | ||
Hey. | ||
Okay. | ||
Okay. | ||
Not my words, not my rules. | ||
I just enjoy it. | ||
All right. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Everything. | ||
Warming up. | ||
Everybody dare to vote. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
This is from your biggest Protestant fan. | ||
May you one day see the light. | ||
Well hey thanks, love you too, but sorry, I believe in religion that makes sense, so... | ||
Let's just call it what it is. | ||
The system hates white people. | ||
It's just what it is. | ||
And everybody wants to call it everything other than that. | ||
They want to call it everything other than what it is. | ||
You may hear conservatives talk about cultural Marxism. | ||
Critical race theory. | ||
That's the new one. | ||
Gotta ban critical race theory. | ||
CRT. | ||
And critical race theory has Marxist origins. | ||
It's socialism, it's communism, it's anti-western. | ||
It's anti-western civilization, anti-western culture. | ||
Conservatives even will call it anything other than what it is, because it's not politically correct to say what it is. | ||
You can't utter it in polite society, but we all know what it is. | ||
unidentified
|
It's racial. | |
It's racial hatred. | ||
They hate white people. | ||
This little boy, Cash Gernon, was murdered, dragged out of his bed in the middle of the night in his home and murdered outside his house in the street by a black man because he was white. | ||
That black guy killed a white boy because he was white. | ||
unidentified
|
And this black guy hated white people. | |
That's why he did it. | ||
It was an act of hatred. | ||
unidentified
|
It wasn't random. | |
It was an act of racial hatred perpetrated by a black male against a white boy. | ||
And why is everybody so afraid to call it that? | ||
Of course that's what it is. | ||
What has been engendered in the population for the past two years? | ||
What's been engendered in the population for the past 30 years? | ||
Other than anti-white hatred. | ||
What are people learning in the schools? | ||
When you go to grade school and you go to American history class, what do you learn about? | ||
In the new Howard Zinn curriculum, you learn about how white people genocided the indigenous Americans. | ||
White people enslaved black people and brought them over here. | ||
Once freed by whites, whites mistreated blacks by being racist towards them, terrorizing them with the Ku Klux Klan. | ||
Segregating them, making them drink in separate water fountains. | ||
We hear about how white supremacist Nazis try to take over the whole world with their fascist ideology in World War II with Adolf Hitler. | ||
unidentified
|
And it was white. | |
It was because they were Aryan. | ||
It's because they were white supremacists. | ||
Because they believed in racial purity of the Aryan race. | ||
unidentified
|
That made them uniquely evil. | |
They perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews. | ||
And that was, by far and away, the most obscene, worst genocide ever in the history of the world. | ||
And then, when all was said and done, white people were racist to the Muslims that blew up the World Trade Center. | ||
White people are racist to black criminals and the police. | ||
Basically, people are bred from cradle until grave thinking that white people are uniquely evil people. | ||
White people bear a special guilt for all the problems of this country, all the problems of every other group, and really, like, all the problems of humanity. | ||
And that's a guilt that is ancestral, it's not individual, everyone has it, and you can never overcome it. | ||
There's no clear way, discernibly, that you can ever overcome it and ever achieve equality with these non-white people. | ||
And it's as a consequence of this that these things are becoming more and more common. | ||
White people are being dehumanized. | ||
unidentified
|
And when white people are dehumanized, black people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human. | |
And other people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human. | ||
How much do you want to bet that this, uh, whatever his name is, Darren Brown, whatever, was radicalized by the media into thinking that white people are racist and responsible for his suffering, not just as a black man, but as a gay man too. | ||
And that he committed this crime in retaliation for that perceived prejudice, perceived hatred against him. | ||
That's the consequence of all this anti-white hatred and dehumanization in the media, education system, and it's even enshrined in the law systematically through the government. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, what do you think affirmative action is? | |
And a lot of white people don't want to talk about it now. | ||
They don't want to address it. | ||
They want to pretend that that's not the case because Honestly, I think a lot of white people think that it's beneath them. | ||
I think that white people think that it's our job to be better, to strive towards a post-racial society, that we ought not to notice race, and we should try not to notice race, that it's a good thing to aspire to, to not notice race. | ||
I think that white people are under the impression that to be cognizant of race, and to mention it and act like it matters, is beneath us, like it's backwards, it's regressive, it's primitive. | ||
And a big part of that, too, is because white people have, I think, internalized a lot of what the media says about us, which is that, well, we're on top of the world, so what do we really have to complain about? | ||
unidentified
|
But here's the problem. | |
This is not going to be a white country forever. | ||
And it's not going to be a white country for very much longer. | ||
In a lot of places, it already isn't. | ||
And in a lot of ways it already isn't a white country anymore. | ||
And as the percentage and proportion of white people diminishes in America relative to non-white people, it's going to become more and more of a problem for white people that non-white people don't like us. | ||
It's just that simple. | ||
unidentified
|
Just think about it in these simple terms. | |
The media attacks white people. | ||
They say that white people cause the suffering of non-white people. | ||
Increasingly, non-white people don't like white people. | ||
unidentified
|
Nobody talks about that. | |
But we know that non-white people largely regard white people with suspicion, distrust, and in some cases just don't like them, hate them. | ||
unidentified
|
Nobody wants to say that. | |
People are very comfortable talking about racism against blacks or other non-whites, but nobody talks about the distrust, nobody talks about the resentment that non-white people have for white people in the country. | ||
And it's not everybody, but it is a lot of people, and everyone knows that. | ||
As the population becomes less and less white, and as the people in charge of the country and the people enforcing the laws of the people in the country, in charge of the country, become less and less white, that's going to matter a lot more. | ||

They hate us. | ||
They hate the people of this country. | ||
Because we believe in Almighty God. | ||
So we're willing to drink that by water if we have to. | ||
But I don't think we're going to. | ||
And we're bigger and stronger and tougher and meaner. | ||

Thank you. | ||
Good evening everybody. | ||
You are watching America First. | ||
My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes. | ||
We have a great show for you tonight. | ||
Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday. | ||
We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into tonight. | ||
Our featured story is about the Ukraine war. | ||
We're talking about oil and natural gas. | ||
We were going to cover this last night, but then I got a little bit carried away talking about Mark Levin and China. | ||
So tonight our featured story is about the gas crisis which is about to happen in Europe. | ||
And we talked about this I think either last week or the beginning of this week, but in case you missed it, Tsar Putin is now weaponizing natural gas against NATO and the European countries. | ||
And so Putin now wants all European countries, which he considers unfriendly, to pay for their natural gas in rubles. | ||
And this is in response to the United States and NATO's sanction on rubles, which is the Russian currency. | ||
The Europeans refuse to do it, so Russia says they're going to cut off their gas. | ||
So that's the big news. | ||
We'll talk about that tonight. | ||
We'll also talk about German gas rationing, which is about to go into effect. | ||
The Germans know this is what's going to happen. | ||
They get most of their natural gas from Russia. | ||
They rely on the gas. | ||
And it may be turned off very soon and the United States can't make up the difference. | ||
So we'll talk about that too and if we have time we'll get into our story about general inflation which we're all supposed to cover yesterday but again ran out of time. | ||
So I mean it should be a pretty good show it's just I don't know the news just feels kind of slow these days this Russia-Ukraine thing it's been going on now for a month and there's no huge developments. | ||
I guess the Russians are putting in place something like a temporary ceasefire. | ||
They're pulling back some of their forces into Belarus. | ||
While the Russians pursue peace talks with the Ukrainians, moderated by Turkey. | ||
So it seems like it's almost wrapped up. | ||
And we covered, it was maybe Monday or Tuesday, Zelensky's giving up on NATO membership, giving up on nuclear status. | ||
So it seems like it's winding down and I miss it. | ||
I honestly, I miss it. | ||
I miss the heyday of the Ukraine war. | ||
I'm hoping that the peace talks fall through. | ||
Honestly, I'm kind of hoping the peace talks fall through. | ||
And we get a resumption of hostilities and war because at least it'll give us something interesting to talk about on the show. | ||
So anyway, that's gonna be our show tonight. | ||
Remember to follow me on Gabin Telegram. | ||
Links are down below. | ||
Follow me right here on Cozy. | ||
We just hit 16,000 followers earlier this week and we're already at 16.1k so... | ||
I don't know what's going on. | ||
I don't know if there's like a new audience watching the show. | ||
Maybe since my debate with Destiny, I'm thinking maybe it's got something to do with that. | ||
Because people have been pouring into the Telegram and the Cozy Channel lately. | ||
And I don't really know where the growth is coming from. | ||
I think maybe it's just like I said it's a new audience tuning in maybe people that don't normally watch the show maybe they found it after the debate or maybe people are interested after the debate either way make sure you hit the follow button you'll get a push notification whenever I go live and those are all our announcements I have to say we had a little bit of a weird show last night and I don't know how many of you tuned in yesterday but It always works out this way. | ||
Yesterday I'm complaining about how slow the news is, and I'm saying, man, it's such a boring day, nothing's going on, this sucks. | ||
And then I get SWATed live on the show, which has never happened to me before. | ||
I've been doing this show now for more than five years, and my address has been out there since 2018. | ||
And nothing like that has ever happened, so... I guess I can't say that it's gonna be a boring show anymore. | ||
It seems like whenever I say that, I always invite problems. | ||
I say, yeah, a really boring show gets shot, you know, gets killed instantly, dies instantly. | ||
How's that for an interesting show, right? | ||
So... | ||
So anyway, yeah, I don't know what that was all about yesterday, but it's been happening. | ||
It happened to, of course we know it's been happening to Baked Alaska, it happened to Dalton this week, happened to Jayden at the same time, and it has also been happening actually to Tim Poole, who's not even in our sphere. | ||
He's not on this site, I've never talked to him, and he seems to be having the same issues, so I don't know what that's all about, but Hey, knock on wood, I'm okay, I'm safe. | ||
I know a lot of people were worried, but it was a very, I mean at least for me it was a non-event. | ||
I heard for Dalton they shut down like the whole, the whole neighborhood. | ||
They shut down the whole block. | ||
For me, I mean it was like a total non, it was a total non-event, but anyway. | ||
It was kind of an interesting show yesterday, but it just goes to show they will do anything to stop this show. | ||
It's kind of amazing, and They just try harder and harder every day and every week and just nothing, nothing is working. | ||
You know? | ||
And it's really intensified over the past year and a half, you know that, ever since January 6th, that's been the no-fly list, they took my money, they banned me from DLive, they banned me from my payment processor, like I got banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, they keep banning us on Discord, they keep banning us on everything, and then they write the hit pieces, and then they try and go after the cozy services, and then And now they're just straight up like, hey, can the police come kill Nick Fuentes? | ||
Hello, police! | ||
Come kill Nick Fuentes right now, you know what I mean? | ||
So, hey, if we're getting that much flack, you know, I know I've sort of tried to say this now, everybody says this, but if you're taking flack, it means you're over the target. | ||
That's when you get the most heat, so... | ||
I guess it just goes to show. | ||
We really are unstoppable, though, when you think about it. | ||
Because they, I mean, they hate that this show is even allowed to be broadcast every night. | ||
They tried so hard to prevent even that from happening. | ||
And if I were anybody else, they would have succeeded, because I got banned from all live streaming services, even the back-end services. | ||
I mean, I can't stream on any platform, and then I also can't use an actual CDN live stream service anywhere either. | ||
And if I didn't go out and build my own website, I just would be out of luck. | ||
I couldn't even stream the show. | ||
And every day that this show is live, they hate that. | ||
They hate it, they wish it wasn't so, and then they work on all our other activities. | ||
You know, the conference, and the Super Chats, and all our political alliances. | ||
Our personnel, they're going after, there's a big report about our personnel the other day and they thought that was gonna do a big... There was this little hit piece that was published the other day and it was a behemoth. | ||
It was like, it was really long and completely convoluted. | ||
And I saw one of those, one of those far-right beat journalists said something like, oh man, this is, this is it! | ||
This is it for them! | ||
I think it was a right-wing watch hit piece and like no one even cared. | ||
Nobody even cared. | ||
I didn't see it. | ||
I don't think one person posted about it on Gab. | ||
I didn't see anything about it on 4chan So, I mean they're trying bless their hearts. | ||
They are trying but not really succeeding. | ||
unidentified
|
So Anyway, but yeah, I'm safe. | |
I'm good and the show goes on, you know And it was funny because everybody in all my group chats. | ||
unidentified
|
Everybody was like, oh my gosh, what's going on? | |
Are you okay? | ||
and honestly, I I appreciate it. | ||
It's nice to know people care about me like that. | ||
But I just go back on the show. | ||
I'm like, hey, yeah, what the heck? | ||
I just got swatted. | ||
Anyway, right back into the Super Chats. | ||
Everybody's like, oh my gosh, are you okay? | ||
I was worried sick. | ||
So it's kind of funny. | ||
Yeah, nothing can stop the show. | ||
Show must go on. | ||
So yeah, we're back. | ||
But yeah, we got a good show. | ||
I don't really have too much to report other than that. | ||
I did a Minecraft stream last night. | ||
You know, I did my show. | ||
And then just to kind of stick it to them, I'm like, you know what? | ||
Not only am I gonna do my show, but I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna stream until 4 a.m. | ||
because you can't take this show off the air! | ||
So yesterday, you know, I did my show. | ||
It was a shorter show. | ||
I was interrupted. | ||
And then I said, you know what? | ||
Fuck them. | ||
I'm going back. | ||
I'm going to do a, you know, 10 hour Minecraft stream. | ||
5 hours, whatever. | ||
Just to say, yeah, excuse me. | ||
So I did a gaming stream last night. | ||
I went to bed real late. | ||
Woke up real late. | ||
I gotta tell you, I don't really enjoy the gaming streams. | ||
I just don't. | ||
I don't really like it. | ||
I don't like- everybody always criticizes my gaming. | ||
I'm playing Minecraft, and everybody- oh, your build looks like shit. | ||
Oh, you play Minecraft like a noob. | ||
Oh, you're not even- it's like, seriously? | ||
I just can't, I can't, like, I am, okay? | ||
I'm not a gamer. | ||
I am not a very skilled gamer, alright? | ||
So stop rubbing it in my face. | ||
I'm not pretending to be. | ||
So, it's really not even deserved. | ||
But every time I go live, everybody's all over me. | ||
Whoa, he doesn't know the recipe for a torch. | ||
Oh, he doesn't know. | ||
And then, I play Valorant, and oh, he aims like a woman. | ||
Oh, wow, you choke, wow, you're terrible. | ||
So, I'm just, I'm sucking at the game, people are shitting on me in the live chat that I'm sucking in the game more, and I'm like, you know what? | ||
Alright, you know what? | ||
That's enough. | ||
You wanted a gaming stream? | ||
Well, now you ruined it. | ||
Now it's over. | ||
Now I'm pissed off. | ||
It's 5am, I'm tired, I'm going to bed. | ||
So I think that's my last gaming stream for a while. | ||
Maybe I'll do a commentary stream? | ||
Because then I can just go and I don't have to read the live chat. | ||
But you know what? | ||
This antagonism with the live chat, it's reached a boiling point, okay? | ||
I can't look at the live chat anymore. | ||
I don't know why. | ||
I guess I just used to never look at it. | ||
Now I look at it and I just see, I'm seething. | ||
Yeah, I'm absolutely seething about the live chat. | ||
The messages people post, it drives me insane. | ||
It's not funny. | ||
It's not, they're not being real. | ||
It's just like, just a bunch of silly shit. | ||
I can't take it anymore. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
Am I too old? | ||
Have I been doing this too long? | ||
Am I just tightly wound? | ||
Maybe I'm just stressed out? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I look at the live chat lately and I'm just like, you know what? | ||
We need to shut the mouths of the live chatters once and for all. | ||
So, it's on site. | ||
Me and the live chat are at war now, okay? | ||
No more mis... I'm not looking at the live chat! | ||
We are not cool, okay? | ||
I don't know what happened. | ||
Maybe it's been like this for years. | ||
I feel like it's gotten worse, but I look at the live chat. | ||
Maybe I'm just grumpy. | ||
I guess I've been feeling grumpy with everybody lately, but especially with live chat. | ||
unidentified
|
I look at it and I just I can't take it. | |
So I'm just not gonna look at it. | ||
I'm just not gonna look at it. | ||
Okay, criticize me all you want. | ||
I'm not gonna read it. | ||
You're just screaming into the void, so... Anyway, so I tried to do a gaming stream. | ||
Everybody's always saying, hey, when are you gonna do a gaming stream? | ||
And then you bully me, okay? | ||
Then you pick on me, and then you bully me, and then you wonder why I don't do a gaming stream for six months. | ||
unidentified
|
So anyway, so it didn't really work out. | |
Maybe I just need a vacation. | ||
Maybe I need to take a week off. | ||
And ease my troubled mind because... Yeah, lately I just can't handle the banter. | ||
Lately I just can't even handle... I'm getting... I'm getting griped by my own audience. | ||
unidentified
|
So... | |
I don't know. | ||
I don't know what to do now with the live chat. | ||
But I'm not reading it, that's for sure. | ||
I'm sticking to my Google Docs window and I'm just not even going to look at it. | ||
But anyway, so that was my stream yesterday. | ||
I really just did it out of spite. | ||
I was like, you know what? | ||
No, the show goes on. | ||
We're going to do a Minecraft stream. | ||
And I might stream tonight, maybe tomorrow. | ||
I was just listening to, there was this NPR podcast about me. | ||
And somebody forwarded it to me in a group chat and I just got a chance to listen to like 15 minutes of it before the show. | ||
NPR did a podcast about the American right-wing's affinity for Russia and the whole podcast was about me. | ||
And it's the usual stuff, but I thought maybe I could listen to that. | ||
I still want to go over my debate with Destiny. | ||
I still want to watch that and cover it point by point. | ||
unidentified
|
That'll be a lot of content, because that was a two-hour debate. | |
And when I review something, if it's a two-hour video, I'll spend an additional two hours on it. | ||
So that's like a four-hour stream just doing that. | ||
So I'd still like to do that at some point, even though it seems a little stale now. | ||
And I'm trying to think and let me know if there's any other maybe in the super chats Let me know if there's any other content you want me to review I'd like to do a I'd like to do a commentary stream But I'm just not watching enough content to get to get any material for it Because I've just been busy with other things So if there's anything you want me to watch let me know and I think I'll try to do one either tonight or maybe tomorrow | ||
And then, coming up, Saturday we're doing a VALORANT tournament, so I will probably stream that. | ||
We'll be doing a VALORANT tournament Saturday night, and it'll be me, VEDA, UX, Wurzelroot on a team, and I think Jaden and Jimbo are playing in it, Beardson's in it. | ||
A lot of gripers are getting involved. | ||
So we'll be doing a gaming tournament Saturday and then Sunday We may be streaming a game as well. | ||
So there's a lot of content on the horizon. | ||
We're just we're having some fun So I forgot to tell you about that, but yeah that's going on this weekend so So I'm just trying to, you know, because lately it feels like the show format is kind of restrictive. | ||
I want to kind of branch out. | ||
I think this year we're going to experiment a little bit with the format of the show. | ||
Maybe try some new shows. | ||
And you know, I haven't reached out to them yet, but I heard that Destiny was thinking about doing a podcast. | ||
And he said, well, you know, I want to do a podcast with someone smart and someone I disagree with. | ||
He goes, and I don't think Vosh would do it. | ||
And he brought up my name and Lauren Southern's name. | ||
And I sat back and I was thinking about it and I said, hmm, Destiny, Lauren Southern, and Nick Fuentes. | ||
And I said, hmm, hmm. | ||
Destiny, Lauren Southern, Nick Fuentes on a podcast. | ||
And the more that I thought about it, honestly, I thought, I think that would be a very good show. | ||
I think that would be very entertaining because people really like to see me interact with the other side. | ||
I always think that's the best content. | ||
I mean, I can do the show, and I think I do a good monologue, and I think I'm engaging enough by myself, but people really like the debate. | ||
They like when there's a disagreement. | ||
They like when me and women have a contentious thing, and I think that would actually be a really great formula for content, and I haven't talked with either of them about this. | ||
So, I mean, it's just an idea at this point. | ||
It's something he said. | ||
I think it would be interesting. | ||
Maybe I'll shoot him an email and see, you know, gauge what the interest level would be and maybe how to do it, but the more that I thought about it, I think that would be a really good show. | ||
I think that's when you get the best content, is when there's disagreement, and I think when there's sort of like a contentious thing, because I know, I mean, I don't think my audience is big Lauren Southern fans or Destiny fans, but that's okay. | ||
I think that makes it a lot more fun. | ||
You know, it's like the same dynamic that me and Sidney Watson had. | ||
It's the same dynamic, you know, that I had with trying to think if there was anybody else recently like that. | ||
Because I don't know. | ||
I do the show and I like to comment about the news, but I kind of want to experiment and try doing things a little differently. | ||
So I'd like to experiment with this show and then maybe try some other forms of content. | ||
Um, because now that we have this platform, really we can do things that we never thought were possible before. | ||
We have a real community here. | ||
We're not censored. | ||
We're building our own technological infrastructure. | ||
And so there's a lot of possibilities now. | ||
Where you can get these different kinds of combinations. | ||
You could get right and left. | ||
You could get lots of people on one stream. | ||
You could get the cozy community doing a gaming thing or a debate thing. | ||
So there's a lot of possibilities now that didn't exist a year ago, which I think is really interesting to explore. | ||
So I think there's lots of potential for crossovers, collaborations, debates. | ||
All of that and I'd really like to go back to putting the content first. | ||
I just, you know, you get so busy doing AFPAC and we're running candidates and there's there's so much work to be done and then the content is kind of on a back burner. | ||
I'd like to reprioritize the content a little bit this year. | ||
So anyway, so that's just some of the things I've been thinking about but We're going to dive into the show. | ||
So our first story is about gas rationing. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you know what? | |
Actually, I'll start with the Russian proposal here. | ||
So, as you know, Russia is entering, I think, week 5 or 6 of their war in Ukraine. | ||
We're all very familiar, I believe, at this point with the details. | ||
The United States and NATO has responded with an unprecedented sanctions regime against Russia. | ||
We know that the United States and NATO powers cannot intervene directly in the conflict, so they have taken unprecedented steps to isolate the Russian economy. | ||
And so you have all the usual kinds of sanctions. | ||
They've sanctioned the Russian elites. | ||
They have sanctioned certain Russian exports. | ||
They've also taken further steps with monetary policy and they've seized Russia's foreign currency reserves. | ||
They have banned Russian banks from interfacing with the international banking system. | ||
And they have banned or they have stopped buying rubles and prevented Russia from converting rubles into U.S. | ||
unidentified
|
dollars. | |
And this is a big problem for Russia. | ||
This is an unprecedented and shocking step the way in which the currency has been weaponized because the United States dollar is the reserve and the reference currency of the world. | ||
So all countries will have to buy dollars and use dollars to denominate their international trade with any other country. | ||
And so therefore, really all global trade is going through the jurisdiction of the United States. | ||
Because the US dollar is the reference currency for deals between countries, or it's the actual medium of exchange of trade between countries, that means that all countries, hostile or friendly, will have to go through the United States and the United States monetary jurisdiction to conduct all their trade, their exports, their imports, all their deals. | ||
This is a big step, and this is a big step to isolating Russia. | ||
As a consequence of this weaponization of the dollar, the ruble, which is the Russian currency, went down 50% in value, 50% against the dollar. | ||
Before the war, it used to trade at about 85 or 80 against the dollar, so you could get 80 or 85 rubles for every dollar. | ||
And then at the height of the war, in the weeks after the monetary sanctions, the ruble was trading at 150 or 160 rubles per dollar. | ||
So it's about 50% loss. | ||
Lately, though, the Russian ruble is stabilized, and that's because Vladimir Putin announced a policy where he said that all of the so-called unfriendly countries, which he's referring specifically to the Western European countries, in order to buy their natural gas, they will have to do it in rubles. | ||
They'll have to buy rubles, so they'll have to give their euros or their dollars to Russia in exchange for rubles, and then they'll have to buy the natural gas in rubles. | ||
And this is a very smart move here because WESTERN EUROPE IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN NATURAL GAS. | ||
THEY ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN ENERGY. | ||
THEY GET SOME NATURAL GAS FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES. | ||
THEY GET SOME LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS FROM THE UNITED STATES. | ||
BUT, ULTIMATELY, THOSE PRODUCERS JUST CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND OF WESTERN EUROPE. | ||
They rely on the natural gas that is pumped through Ukraine and pumped through the Nordic Sea in Russian pipelines to supply their energy needs specifically in the winter. | ||
And some of the countries that are the most dependent are countries like Germany. | ||
And Germany is, in Europe, really the backbone of the NATO alliance. | ||
So, you have this very delicate situation where NATO is declaring an economic war on Russia while ultimately being economically dependent on Russia for its vital needs. | ||
And energy is one of the most vital needs for an economy. | ||
So, Russia is exploiting that dependency and saying, you know, yeah, you tried, you tried to sanction Russia, but if you want our natural gas, then you need to keep our currency afloat. | ||
And so, they really have no other option. | ||
Germany needs the natural gas from Russia, France... | ||
The other countries, they need the natural gas from Russia, and so that means they have to do business in rubles. | ||
And that means that they, by buying the natural gas in rubles, are going to have to prop up the value of the ruble. | ||
And so just since that policy was announced, the ruble has stabilized at just 15% below what it was trading at before the war. | ||
That's compared to 50% below where it was before the war, at the height of the war, three weeks ago. | ||
So we talked about that actually I think on Monday or last week, but there's been a new development. | ||
The Europeans got together last week. | ||
There were three conferences. | ||
There was the G20 summit, the European Union conference, and the NATO summit. | ||
And they got together at these conferences. | ||
The American delegation was in Europe. | ||
And they replied to Russia and said, we are not going to buy rubles. | ||
We refuse to do this. | ||
And it's sort of this game of chicken now because the Europeans need the energy and the Russians need the money that they get from the sale of the energy. | ||
Russia, in particular, needs the money because they need to finance the war, and the Europeans need the energy because if they don't, energy will become very expensive, there will be shortages, and they're already experiencing very high inflation. | ||
So both countries can't really afford to go all the way. | ||
Russia cannot afford to lose the sale of the natural gas, and Germany in particular, but also the United States and Western Europe, cannot afford the inflation and the energy shortages. | ||
So Russia says, well, you know, I'm gonna force you into this double bind you either you either finance our war or you're out of energy the Europeans are saying no I'm not gonna buy your rubles we're not gonna finance the war so you can turn off our gas but then you can't finance the war so then the Russians came back and they said okay all right well then we'll shut off your gas. | ||
And so this is the new proposal. | ||
This is the latest development. | ||
Today, the Russian government announced that starting on April 1st, which is tomorrow, the Russians will only accept payment in rubles, which means by mid-May, if the Europeans are not pying the natural gas in rubles, the natural gas will be shut off. | ||
And Germany, which gets 40% of its natural gas from Russia, they will now not get any natural gas from Russia at all, which is like a huge catastrophe. | ||
So this is the article. | ||
This is from BBC. | ||
It says, quote, Russia has told unfriendly foreign countries they must start paying for gas and rubles or it will cut supplies. | ||
Vladimir Putin has signed a decree stating that buyers must open ruble accounts in Russian banks starting Friday. | ||
He said, quote, nobody sells us anything for free and we're not going to do charity either. | ||
That is, existing contracts will be stopped. | ||
Mr. Putin's demand is being seen as an attempt to boost the ruble which has been hit by Western sanctions. | ||
His decree means foreign buyers of Russian gas would have to open an account at Russia's Gazprom bank and transfer euros or US dollars into it. | ||
Gasprom Bank would then convert this into rubles which will then be used to make the payment for gas. | ||
Although the order comes into effect for gas exported from Friday onwards, the payments for that gas will not be paid by European buyers until mid-May. | ||
That suggests there may not be an immediate threat to supplies. | ||
Mr. Putin said the switch to rubles was meant to strengthen Russia's sovereignty and it would stick to its obligations on all contracts if Western nations obliged. | ||
Germany said the change announced by Mr. Putin amounted to blackmail. | ||
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Western nations have issued economic and trading sanctions on Russia, but the European Union has not placed bans on oil or gas, unlike the U.S. | ||
and Canada. | ||
The European Union gets about 40% of its gas and 30% of its oil from Russia and has no easy substitutes if supplies are disrupted. | ||
Meanwhile Russia gets 400 million euros per day from gas sales to the bloc and it has no way of rerouting the supply to other markets. | ||
So this is where we are now and I really like to see this because Russia is demonstrating to the world what sovereignty, what meaningful sovereignty looks like. | ||
And what do I mean by this? | ||
If you are 100% reliant on the United States for something like money, as an example, international trade, you can't really say that you're a completely independent nation. | ||
unidentified
|
Because of course, here's a perfect example. | |
Russia has a foreign policy about its western border with Ukraine that Ukraine cannot join NATO. | ||
Ukraine didn't listen, so Russia took action. | ||
And this is what a truly sovereign nation can do. | ||
A truly sovereign nation can launch its own military interventions. | ||
The United States says that's the worst thing ever, we don't use the military, this isn't the 19th century. | ||
But the United States does this all the time, with impunity. | ||
The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, invaded Iraq in 2003, they facilitated regime change in Libya in 2011, they put American troops in Syria in 2013 and 2014. | ||
The United States does military interventions all around the world, and we have military bases all around the world, and we have aircraft carriers all around the world, and we operate all around the world. | ||
Because we're a sovereign, we are a truly sovereign nation. | ||
You could argue, you know, who is really in charge in America, but the American regime has military assets everywhere and they conduct interventions where they can, when they want to, without anyone's permission. | ||
Well, that is what Russia is doing. | ||
Russia intervened in Syria, in the Syrian Civil War, and now they're intervening in Ukraine. | ||
And the United States says, oh no, you can't do that. | ||
This violates international norms. | ||
We're gonna punish you! | ||
And only, of course, a superior is in a position to punish somebody. | ||
Equals cannot punish each other. | ||
I mean, they can retaliate, and they can engage in hostilities, but for the United States to say, well, we're punishing you, and we're standing up to you, and these kinds of things, it implies that, well, ultimately, we're in charge of Russia. | ||
We make the rules, and we're in charge of everybody. | ||
So if Russia is completely dependent on the United States for all of its international trade, including its export of energy, and Russia is effectively a petrostate, meaning that its export of energy, specifically oil and natural gas, is the source of its revenue, if it's dependent on the United States to do that, to export its energy, it is not a truly independent state. | ||
It is not a truly sovereign country. | ||
And that is really the tension which is at the heart of the entire conflict. | ||
What is the world order? | ||
Is the world order going to be American global domination and America controls the actions of every country? | ||
And every country is under the control of America? | ||
And if they step out of line, then they'll be isolated, they'll be ostracized, their international trade will be shut down, their regime will be attacked, there'll be a revolution in the streets fostered by American intel agencies. | ||
That's the tension that's at the heart of this entire debate, is sovereignty. | ||
Does Russia, as now a global power, does it have the sovereignty to conduct its own independent foreign policy? | ||
And it has to be fought for. | ||
They've got to pay for that. | ||
They've got to pay for that with sanctions. | ||
They've got to pay for that with this military intervention in Ukraine to keep NATO out. | ||
They're paying for it. | ||
But it's worth it. | ||
It's worth it for Russia to do this. | ||
It's worth it for Russia to demonstrate this. | ||
And when they're using their leverage against Europe, I think that's actually a very positive development here because it's a little bit hypocritical for the United States and its allies to say, oh, you know, we're standing up to Putin! | ||
We put in place the worst sanctions ever! | ||
And think about it this way. | ||
Germany, France, the European Union countries, they're 100% dependent on Russia for energy. | ||
And Russia is, in a sense, dependent on the sale of that energy, as I just said a moment ago. | ||
And so the Europeans are saying, well, we're going to ban all Russian exports except for the stuff we really need. | ||
We're going to ban the export of all these other goods and services, but not the oil. | ||
Not the natural gas. | ||
You know, the stuff that actually matters. | ||
The stuff that heats our homes. | ||
The stuff that fuels our cars. | ||
The stuff that fuels the entire economy. | ||
We are still going to give Russia 400 million euros per day to buy that. | ||
And so isn't that a little bit hypocritical? | ||
Because you hear from all these governments and you hear from all these liberals. | ||
They talk about how Russia's invasion in Ukraine is the worst thing ever. | ||
It's a tragedy. | ||
He's committing war crimes. | ||
He's a butcher. | ||
He's a murderer. | ||
But then you're paying Russia 400 million euros per day. | ||
So, you go up and you give a great big speech about how he's the worst dictator since Hitler, and this is the biggest war on the continent since World War II, and he's a war criminal, and he kills children, and pregnant women, and homosexuals, and the Chechens are there to rape all the women. | ||
Oh, but we're... But then they go back to the Treasury Ministry, and they give him 400 million euros per day. | ||
Why not stop buying the oil? | ||
Why not stop buying the natural gas? | ||
Well, because if they were to do that, well then, they would actually have to pay the price for their self-righteousness, for their moral grandstanding. | ||
For all these really tough words and all the big rhetoric, all this self-righteous chest-thumping, they're still giving Russia 400 million euros per day and drinking up their oil and drinking up their natural gas. | ||
And if they really meant what they said, if they really believed that stuff, well that would be blood money! | ||
That would be blood-fueling. | ||
Your house is heated in Ukrainian blood! | ||
I mean, and honestly, we should really hold them accountable. | ||
Okay, okay, Scholz, the new minister in Germany. | ||
Okay, Macron. | ||
Okay, everybody, you know, Boris Johnson, all these tough guys, all these self-righteous, these angels. | ||
From the liberal democracies of the world, you think Putin's a murderer? | ||
Put your money where your mouth is. | ||
Literally. | ||
Stop buying their oil and natural gas then. | ||
Well, they won't do that. | ||
They won't do that because, well, in some sense they simply cannot afford to. | ||
But that's because it would be very, very costly. | ||
It would be costly monetarily and it would be costly politically. | ||
If they wanted to shut Russia down, they know what they have to do. | ||
Stop buying new oil and natural gas, but they won't do that. | ||
Because then gas prices go up, then energy prices go up, heat goes up. | ||
For the people in the country, for the voters, for the government, And then suddenly the people of Germany aren't so pleased after all, which the policy, you know, we support Ukraine, we stand with Ukraine, but not if we're paying 40% more for energy, not if we're paying $7 per gallon, which is what it is in Italy for a gallon of gas. | ||
Suddenly it's not so easy for the self-righteousness. | ||
But here's the difference. | ||
The same is true with Russia. | ||
For Russia to exert its sovereignty in Eastern Europe, they too have to incur a cost. | ||
Because when the Western governments sanction Russia, when the Russian currency takes a hit, Russia is going through economic pain of its own. | ||
All the major companies pulled out. | ||
Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Facebook, McDonald's, Nike. | ||
And you see these scenes playing out in Russia. | ||
They're all jammed up at the metro station because they're swiping their card and it's not going through. | ||
And again, all the Western businesses have vacated and so there's lots of vacancies. | ||
But the difference is that Russia is willing to pay the price. | ||
Vladimir Putin's approval rating went up 10% since the war started. | ||
Even though the people are worse off, even though the people aren't paying the price for the war, they support Putin more. | ||
They're rallying around their flag, they're rallying around their leader, and that's because fundamentally what this is about is independence and sovereignty. | ||
And that's the difference. | ||
The people in Russia will pay the price for their freedom. | ||
The people in Russia will pay the monetary, financial, and political cost to be an independent nation. | ||
The West, for all this big talk that it has about, oh, stand with Ukraine, we're not willing to pay. | ||
The leaders are not willing to pay. | ||
The people are not willing to pay. | ||
And that's because the cause is fundamentally, it's not tangible. | ||
Stand with Ukraine. | ||
Why? | ||
What is it really about? | ||
What does anyone really know about Ukraine? | ||
Does anybody really care? | ||
It's about democracy. | ||
It's about something. | ||
Who even knows? | ||
Who even knows anymore? | ||
We're not a free people. | ||
We're not free countries. | ||
The quality of life in these countries sucks. | ||
And we don't even like our leaders. | ||
We don't like our press. | ||
Now we gotta pay more? | ||
We already pay so much. | ||
We're already taxed to death. | ||
And for what? | ||
So that we can have an empire that spans from South Korea to Donbass? | ||
And for what reason? | ||
What are we getting out of it? | ||
There's already 7% inflation! | ||
In Germany and in the United States and that's before we stop paying for the Russian natural gas and oil. | ||
That's before the sanctions. | ||
That's before the war. | ||
Now we're gonna pay what? | ||
Another 7% in inflation? | ||
What are we getting from this empire? | ||
We've got this liberal democratic empire that spans the globe and gotta defend the furthest expanse of its borders and for what? | ||
For what tangible benefit are we deriving from this? | ||
And ultimately this is why we're going to lose. | ||
That's why we deserve to lose. | ||
And we have to think about if we want to be a country that has will, that is strong, well we need something that's a little bit more powerful for the people to rally behind than this human rights crap. | ||
It's liberal democratic, we all know it's bullshit. | ||
Liberal Democracy! | ||
Really? | ||
The European Union is not a democratic institution. | ||
Do you know how the European Union works? | ||
They've got a central committee that writes up all the bills, and then they send them to the European Parliament. | ||
And the European Parliament can vote no, but the committee just keeps sending them until the European Parliament says yes. | ||
And the elected members of the European Union from the member states, they don't get to write the bills. | ||
So think about that. | ||
You've got a delegation from Italy, you've got a delegation from Germany, from France, and none of the delegates from the member states even get to propose their own bills. | ||
They all come from the central, the executive branch of the government. | ||
And you know what? | ||
They have a fancy word for this. | ||
You know what they call this in political science? | ||
They call this a democracy deficit. | ||
A deficit of democracy. | ||
So they know. | ||
I mean, they're fully aware of this. | ||
Even the liberals acknowledge the European Union is not democratic. | ||
But they just call it a democracy deficit. | ||
When Russia does something non-democratic, well, that's because it's a police state run by the new incarnation of Adolf Hitler. | ||
When the European Union is in no meaningful way a democracy, well, they say, well, we're working on it. | ||
It's a democracy with a deficit. | ||
When Putin does it, he's a fascist, totalitarian Hitler. | ||
Well, when we're not democratic, well, it's a democracy deficit. | ||
We're not a democracy, and we're not an open society, and we have no rights. | ||
Everyone knows this. | ||
So, that's fundamentally what this is about. | ||
When we talk about the war, it is a game of chicken here. | ||
In purely strategic terms, it's a game of chicken. | ||
The West needs the gas, Russia needs the money. | ||
And who is going to break first? | ||
The Europeans think that Russia would not possibly lose the revenue from the gas because they just desperately need it for the war. | ||
And they think that Russia will not really turn off the gas and then Russia will continue the contracts in the native currencies, not in rubles. | ||
And Putin probably thinks the other way around. | ||
He thinks that ultimately they need the energy more than we need the money. | ||
We've gotten... Here's the thing too, which is funny. | ||
Russia does not have a 100% debt to GDP ratio. | ||
It's very funny that we project these kinds of, everybody says, oh the Russian economy is so weak, the Russian economy is terrible. | ||
I would take the Russian economy over the European or American economy any day. | ||
Because take a look at the ratio of debt. | ||
The Russian debt to GDP ratio, I don't know what it is now, but I think I saw three years ago or something, It was like 15%? | ||
And Russia actually has cash. | ||
Russia actually has reserves. | ||
And they use their reserves to pay their deficit. | ||
In other words, they don't finance their deficits with debt. | ||
When they are spending more than they're taking in, they don't borrow from other countries. | ||
They don't sell debt to other countries. | ||
They have savings. | ||
And they pay for their deficit with the savings. | ||
It is true that Russia is a petrostate, so it has energy that it exports. | ||
But it's a country that is fiscally solvent. | ||
And so... | ||
There's not a significant debt situation, which is what defines all of our economies. | ||
The United States has $30 trillion in debt, which means that it has more than a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio. | ||
We have as much debt, or more, than this country produces in value in a whole year. | ||
And that's not to mention the deficits, which have been out of control since COVID. | ||
I don't even know what they are, but I believe it's in the trillions. | ||
So you're having a deficit. | ||
So if you don't know, the deficit is the annual budget shortfall. | ||
That is how much more you're spending than you're making in a given year. | ||
And then the debt is the accumulated deficits. | ||
So you have 30 trillion in debt and the deficit on an annual basis is in the trillions. | ||
With all these COVID relief packages and the 800 billion dollar military budgets which started under Trump, seven, eight hundred billion dollars per year. | ||
So, you know, the Europeans are saying, oh, Russia won't possibly go without all this revenue from the oil and natural gas. | ||
Well, Russia's a fiscally solvent state. | ||
Germany has 7% inflation and a more than 100% debt to GDP ratio. | ||
And a lot of the European countries, they have close to a 200% debt to GDP ratio in most of them. | ||
And so, who's really more fragile here? | ||
Who's really gonna break first? | ||
In terms of real, tangible terms, the Russian economy is stronger. | ||
Because the Russian economy is real. | ||
It's built on real value. | ||
Real resources. | ||
Titanium, oil, natural gas, aluminum. | ||
They build things and they take things out of the ground. | ||
Uranium. | ||
Very little debt and again, they've got raw materials that they can export to the world. | ||
And you know what? | ||
If Germany won't buy it, China will. | ||
If the Europeans won't buy it, some other developing country will. | ||
And that's what economic strength is. | ||
What's more is the people of Russia are rallying around their sovereignty and their identity as a nation. | ||
They don't want to be westernized. | ||
They don't want to be liberalized. | ||
They don't want to be a pawn of the United States. | ||
They don't want to be a slave of the New World Order. | ||
They're rallying around their flag. | ||
They're willing to pay extra. | ||
They're willing to see the currency in free fall. | ||
They're willing to bear the price of their freedom. | ||
That's a strong country. | ||
Contrast that with the West. | ||
The people hate the government. | ||
The people hate the media. | ||
Our national myth is a lie. | ||
Liberal democracy, capitalism, freedom, it's a lie. | ||
If it wasn't a lie before, it certainly is after the pandemic when a government can say that you can't leave your house, you can't enter a restaurant unless you're vaccinated. | ||
It's a lie. | ||
So the The nation is weak morally, the nation is weak in terms of its patriotism, the leaders are unpopular, the institutions are not trusted, and then what's more is the economy is totally weak. | ||
The economy is built on debt. | ||
The entire economy, there's no value in the economy. | ||
You can't even really call it an economy because that's not what it is. | ||
It's like just a giant Ponzi scheme. | ||
It's about moving numbers around in computers, but it's not about real value. | ||
The current prices of the stock market do not reflect the value of the companies. | ||
The current prices of the real estate and the houses do not reflect the value that underlies them. | ||
As far as I'm concerned, we are sitting on the largest debt bubble in the history of the world. | ||
And once it pops, you're going to see what the real valuation is of the US economy and the European economies. | ||
It's not what they say it is. | ||
They doubled the money supply last year. | ||
You think that that doesn't have an effect on the medium of exchange in the country and how that reflects in the price signals? | ||
In no meaningful way do we understand the value in our economy. | ||
This is why, I mean, we're really in for a lot of pain here. | ||
We should not have picked a war over Ukraine. | ||
And this has been said by the analysts. | ||
The Europeans believed that this would be an easy war. | ||
They thought that, you know, we're going to sanction Russia and it's going to be no big deal. | ||
You know? | ||
I think they both thought it would be easy. | ||
I think Putin thought it would be somewhat easy in terms of logistically on the ground. | ||
And I think the Europeans and the Americans thought that Sanctioning Russia would not have any real consequences. | ||
Because nobody's ever stood up to the United States. | ||
Not in the past 30 years. | ||
It just isn't done. | ||
Countries don't go all the way. | ||
They don't go all in. | ||
They don't say, hey, bring it on. | ||
It hasn't happened. | ||
It hasn't happened since the fall of the Soviet Union. | ||
And so, the Western countries are sort of relying on their empty threats and their deterrence, which has no strength. | ||
You know, there's really nothing that backs up the deterrence if there's no underlying strength in the country. | ||
And Russia, sensing the weakness, seeing the inflation, seeing the retreat from Afghanistan, Seeing the weakness of the American regime after the Capitol, everything else that's going on, he said, you know what? | ||
These Westerners aren't shit. | ||
I can go into Ukraine and you know what? | ||
Bring it on. | ||
You're not gonna go to war with me. | ||
You're not gonna cut that oil and natural gas. | ||
I'm gonna take Ukraine and there's nothing you could do about it. | ||
And we've sanctioned and we've sanctioned and we've done everything we can short of intervening militarily. | ||
And he was right. | ||
It's not working. | ||
And we're not willing to go all the way. | ||
We're not going to live with the gas shutdown. | ||
We're not going to live with the food shortages that will result with the sanctions against their fertilizer and their grain and their wheat in Russia. | ||
And this is the beginning of the end because it only has to happen once. | ||
All it takes is basic prison psychology. | ||
All it takes is one country to really stand up and say, you know what? | ||
You're not going to hit me back. | ||
All these threats, all this intimidation, there's nothing backing that. | ||
I'm going to take Ukraine and you're not going to be able to stop me. | ||
You only need to do that once. | ||
And then a message has been sent loud and clear to the whole world This is not the same world order that it was three months ago. | ||
This is not the same world that we're living in. | ||
The United States is not what it appears to be. | ||
Aircraft carriers, military bases, Pentagon command centers in every corner of the globe, and they couldn't stop Russia, the 11th largest economy, smaller than the size of Texas, they couldn't stop Russia from invading a country that was supposed to be in NATO's backyard. | ||
And that sends a message to Iran and China and Syria and Venezuela and honestly it sends a message also to continental Europe, which has not always been 100% in agreement with how the United States leads the Western countries. | ||
The United Kingdom slavishly does whatever the United States says, but Germany and France, for 70 years, have resisted the United States on strategic matters. | ||
And so, this creates a new paradigm. | ||
This creates a new world order where continental European countries are going to pursue further strategic autonomy from Washington. | ||
Russia is now a great power. | ||
A second-rate great power, but a great power. | ||
China is emerging as a peer competitor. | ||
Other countries too, like India and maybe Brazil, South Africa, they will emerge from this as well. | ||
And we will have a truly multipolar world order, which I've said this for a long time. | ||
But This has more significance probably than 9-11. | ||
This war in Ukraine is one of these things. | ||
It's actually sort of interesting because in the 19th century, the Crimean War was one of the biggest continental wars of the century. | ||
And here we are again. | ||
You know, it's funny how history repeats itself 170 years later, and it's the same story. | ||
It's this war ultimately over Crimea, over Donbass, over Ukraine, which is now reshaping the balance of power on the continent and across the world. | ||
But fundamentally it's about those things and it's really interesting. | ||
Russia is willing to turn off the gas. | ||
It's willing to eat the pain for its true sovereignty. | ||
These Westerners, they're weak. | ||
They're weak. | ||
They're spineless. | ||
They're gonna keep drinking up the oil and natural gas. | ||
All that self-righteous, rules-based world order, UN, Atlantic Charter, human rights. | ||
It doesn't mean shit if you're gonna keep buying Russian gas and you're not gonna You're not going to send troops into Ukraine or establish a no-fly zone, you know, whatever, whatever it is. | ||
And so, then if that's the case, we need to stop acting like it. | ||
And let's go back to a foreign policy that's based on our real interests. | ||
I wish America had a policy like Russia. | ||
Russia is a stronger nation than us. | ||
It doesn't spend as much. | ||
Its military is smaller. | ||
Its military is less sophisticated. | ||
But it is a stronger country. | ||
The foundation is solid. | ||
This country is not built on a solid foundation. | ||
Its currency is not solid. | ||
It is fiscally insolvent. | ||
The people are in revolt. | ||
This is a weak country. | ||
And that's not Russia's fault. | ||
That's not China's fault. | ||
It's our fault. | ||
And we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. | ||
We emerged from the Cold War legitimately the number one superpower ever in the world. | ||
There has never been a greater differential between the first superpower and the next greatest power ever in history. | ||
After the fall of the Soviet Union, you have the United States. | ||
And 100 miles away was the next biggest country. | ||
Maybe that's Russia. | ||
Maybe that's China. | ||
But it's just not even, they're not even playing the same sport. | ||
It's not even comparable. | ||
And you have for the first time a unipolar moment, is what it was called. | ||
Because it's so fleeting. | ||
It's such a transient, it's such an anomaly. | ||
They said it was a moment. | ||
Not the unipolar century. | ||
Not the unipolar era. | ||
The unipolar moment. | ||
Because they said, This is such an anomaly. | ||
This is so uncharacteristic of how world affairs typically goes. | ||
We have a moment where we have this level of dominance. | ||
We have this kind of differential. | ||
And in terms of absolute terms, we have this level of military superiority. | ||
And honestly, that was the seeds of our undoing. | ||
The victory was the source of the downfall. | ||
It's sort of like when Bane says to Batman, he says, victory has defeated you. | ||
It's true. | ||
We won. | ||
We thought we could do anything. | ||
We thought that we could make the rules. | ||
We thought that we won the war because we were smarter, tougher, more righteous. | ||
And then we thought that we didn't have to make real decisions anymore. | ||
We didn't have to be strategic. | ||
We didn't have to make allies or anything. | ||
And so what has happened as a consequence is we've overexerted ourselves. | ||
We spent too much. | ||
We ate too much. | ||
And now we're paying the price. | ||
We've become a weak, hollow shell of what we used to be. | ||
It's not over for us, but this entire debacle, which is what it should be called, which really was a long time in the making, it has demonstrated, not just to the world, but even to the United States, what has transpired and what our new relative position in the world is. | ||
And it's not what it was. | ||
It's not what it was before February. | ||
And when I say that, I mean this has been something that's been long in the making. | ||
Afghanistan, you could even say it goes back to 2014, really. | ||
Or you could even say it goes back to 2013 with Syria. | ||
But it's the American Empire has been on being undone for a long time. | ||
So but that's at the crux of all of this. | ||
So it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. | ||
Will the Europeans relent? | ||
Will they buy the Russian oil and natural gas in rubles? | ||
Or will they try to starve Russia of its money? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I don't know who's going to break first. | ||
But, ultimately, something has got to give here. | ||
And the idea of Russia as invincible, this idea of Putin as being a brilliant guy, and either he will break and Russia will fall, or, conversely, all of this doubling down, standing up to dictators, is going to have to stop. | ||
And ultimately the Germans and the French and the EU broadly will have to relent and they'll have to buy the rubles and use the rubles to buy the gas. | ||
And all that tough talk is just going to have to crash upon the rocks on the shore of reality. | ||
But something's got to give here. | ||
But this is a test. | ||
And it is a big test. | ||
Now everybody knows it's high stakes. | ||
These are really the stakes. | ||
Everybody talks about how could a nuclear war ever happen? | ||
Well these are the stakes. | ||
Either the Putin regime goes down and Russia is just pacified and like they've been dominated. | ||
It's a big deal if they get shown up here. | ||
Or the United States is no longer the leader of the world. | ||
This is a high stakes thing which will have consequences across the world for many years. | ||
And so, this is going to be one of the strategically important issues here. | ||
And if you underestimate this, this is how World War II started, more or less. | ||
You know, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, it's because of our oil embargo. | ||
Roosevelt let that happen, he wanted in the war, but... | ||
The Japanese attacked the United States because of the oil, because of the energy. | ||
They thought that they could win the war before the United States would mobilize and get involved. | ||
And of course, the Nazis, even the Nazis, when they launched Operation Barbarossa and it started to stall, you know, initially they went for Leningrad and Moscow and Stalingrad. | ||
And it stalled up in St. | ||
Petersburg, it stalled in Moscow, and they said they would focus on getting the oil fields, the energy, in the Caucasus, in the oil fields in Baku. | ||
And that's where it all fell apart for them. | ||
So, don't underestimate this energy stuff. | ||
This is a big deal. | ||
Ukraine is almost small potatoes compared to what we're really talking about here, which is energy. | ||
Which is Nord Stream 2. | ||
It's the oil and natural gas in the Black Sea in Ukraine. | ||
I mean, ultimately, that's really what these things are about. | ||
You know, and then how the conflict plays out, then that is actually a real sort of demonstration of where the current world order is. | ||
It's kind of like a, it's sort of like a hard credit check on where world power sits. | ||
You know, okay, here's a, here's a crisis, here's sort of an energy diplomatic crisis, and you know, who has the military, who has the balls to exert themselves? | ||
I don't know. | ||
depending on the outcome of the conflict, there could be a big shuffle in terms of the relative rankings of different countries in terms of global power. | ||
So this matters. | ||
This is a very important part of the conflict is will the Europeans buy the energy in rubles? | ||
I don't know. | ||
I can't really make a prediction. | ||
I don't know because it depends on the war. | ||
Because the payments will have to begin in the middle of May, which is six weeks away. | ||
The war could be over by then. | ||
It's all about how it plays out on the ground, because if Russia is able to lay siege to these cities, what's happening right now on the ground is that the most advanced Ukrainian forces are fighting the Russians in Donbass. | ||
And the Russians are focusing on completely securing Luhansk and Donetsk. | ||
And so what's happening is these elite Ukrainian forces are being encircled in Donbass in the east, and what the Russians are really doing is just destroying the Ukrainian military. | ||
They're destroying their equipment, they're killing their soldiers, and once that contingent is destroyed in the east, these cities are just gonna go. | ||
Kiev is going to go. | ||
Mariupol is going to go. | ||
All the big cities are going to go, and Russia is really going to take over Ukraine, and it's going to be over overnight. | ||
But it's been a month of, yes, seizing territory, but really just on a fundamental level degrading the military, and that is one of the objectives that Putin set was demilitarizing Ukraine, and that is exactly what they're doing. | ||
Everybody says, oh, Ukraine is winning the war. | ||
They're not even launching offensives anymore, counteroffensives, offensives, because they don't have the capability, and they don't have the capability because their logistics have been so depleted and degraded by Russia. | ||
It's this war of attrition now where really they're just holding out and they're waiting for Russia to be destroyed by other means. | ||
The Ukrainians, they cannot win this war. | ||
In a matter of time, Russia will completely destroy their military, and without a military, Russia will just take over Ukraine. | ||
And there will be an insurgency, but it will not be... I mean, this is not going to stop Russia. | ||
So what the Ukrainians are doing is they're just stalling. | ||
They're waiting and they're waiting. | ||
They're waiting for Russia to be depleted by other means and for... | ||
For Russia, maybe the political pressure in Moscow to ramp up against Putin, they're waiting for the economic pressure against Russia to hurt the economy enough that there will be popular discontent with the policy, or financially it will be impossible for the war to continue. | ||
They keep talking about defunding Putin's war machine. | ||
And that's what it's about. | ||
They want to make it so that Russia can't finance the war anymore and that the Ukrainians are holding out so that Russia will just have to pull back and stop the invasion either under financial or political pressure. | ||
But it remains to be seen now in these next six weeks how that plays out because if Russia destroys the military and well this is how the peace talks play into it as well. | ||
Peace talks are underway. | ||
The Russians have said they're stopping the advance. | ||
And maybe Zelensky is holding a carrot in front of Putin and saying, hey, we're going to totally capitulate on everything. | ||
Russia stops the assault, stops degrading the Ukrainian armed forces. | ||
And so then you could say that the attrition continues for Russia. | ||
The financial and political attrition continues with Russia, but it stops with Ukraine insofar as the Russian advances stop. | ||
So the peace talks are actually They're helping the momentum of the war in favor of Kiev. | ||
So it's so these things are all it's all playing into this the different pressures and the timelines here. | ||
You've got the six-week window after which the Europeans will need to capitulate to Russia and buy the natural gas and oil in rubles. | ||
Or else their energy is shut down and the financing for Russia is shut down. | ||
In the meantime, you've got peace talks. | ||
You've got something like a ceasefire. | ||
You've got this sort of half-hearted promise by Russia to stop their advances. | ||
Zelensky appears to be making some noncommittal, sort of a noncommittal overture to Russia about the peace talks. | ||
The Russian delegation said it's unproductive. | ||
It's not going anywhere. | ||
So that would give credence to the idea that Zelensky is simply stalling. | ||
And then where it really matters is on the ground. | ||
The Russians continue to destroy the military. | ||
And every day, the situation worsens for the Ukrainians. | ||
And all this stuff about, oh it's a stalemate, it's all a bunch of propaganda, it's all a bunch of lies, that's meant to keep morale up for the Americans who are going to have to deal with higher food prices and everything. | ||
But I honestly, I think how it will play out is that Russia will destroy the Ukrainian military, they will dictate the terms, Ukraine will agree to them, and then probably The Europeans will have to buy their energy in rubles, because there is going to be no... Russia will not be as badly hurt. | ||
If they can dictate the terms in Ukraine, then the military operation ceases, and then the financial hit that they take, without selling the oil, the same pressure isn't there. | ||
So then all the pressure is on the Europeans. | ||
Hey, no oil and natural gas for you, no money for Russia, but the war is over. | ||
They don't need it anymore. | ||
So I think the imperative is for Russia to win this thing as quickly as possible, which I think they can do, and then the onus is on everybody else. | ||
Then the pain is all on the Americans, it's on the Europeans, and then Russia dictates the terms. | ||
But this is a very bad situation for the United States and the West. | ||
And ultimately, and this is the last thing I'll say because we're out of time here, you have to ask yourself, was it worth it? | ||
We mobilized everything. | ||
We, in a sense, we thought that this was going to be no big shake. | ||
Ah, we put sanctions on Russia, whatever. | ||
We've all heard sanctions before. | ||
We've used sanctions against Russia in the past, Iran, North Korea, everybody. | ||
And we've had wars against smaller countries. | ||
And we thought that this was going to be no thing. | ||
And it's turning out to be, perhaps, the end for us. | ||
We went into this thinking, oh yeah, this is just another day. | ||
Another day in American empire. | ||
Slap the sanctions on Russia. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
We talk tough. | ||
We deter them. | ||
We say something about every inch of NATO play. | ||
And they back off. | ||
Well, they're not backing off. | ||
We're forced to double down. | ||
Okay, well they're still not backing off. | ||
Now it's all of our credibility on the line. | ||
Now, it's all of our credibility, our whole reputation. | ||
It's like the entire House of Cards will be undone by this conflict, because that's how fragile American power really is. | ||
And if Russia's able to pull this off, the results, diplomatically, economically, politically, will be catastrophic for the West, and there will be ripples from this for decades, I believe. | ||
So, and you have to ask yourself why we did that. | ||
We could have just let Russia have Ukraine, but it wasn't enough. | ||
In 2014, we could have backed off. | ||
We could have relented. | ||
We had eight years to do that. | ||
We had Obama, who was supposed to be a big, peaceful guy. | ||
Remember the apology tour and all that? | ||
Trump was supposed to deliver a reproachment with Russia. | ||
It didn't happen. | ||
And then Biden. | ||
I mean, he was always an anti-Russia guy, even since 2015. | ||
And so... We had an opportunity here to back off if we knew we didn't have the guts. | ||
And for eight years we kept pushing and pushing and now this may be the undoing of the entire American Empire. | ||
For real. | ||
And for what? | ||
For Ukraine? | ||
Was it worth it? | ||
No. | ||
But it's not about Ukraine, it's about this totalizing world domination mindset. | ||
We've got to have it all! | ||
And you may wind up with less than you had before. | ||
unidentified
|
So... | |
That's our situation here with the European natural gas crisis. | ||
They've already begun rationing. | ||
They're frantically making deals for the liquefied natural gas, but they'll never get enough of that to replace Russian gas. | ||
unidentified
|
It's over for us. | |
It's over in a huge way. | ||
And then that makes it a very... the scary proposition there is, is the United States gonna bring us to the brink of a nuclear war? | ||
Because we've lost this one. | ||
That's the question. | ||
It's a real possibility because these people are nuts and it seems although they would almost rather end the world than give up this charade about democracy and liberalism and standing up to dictators and all that crap. | ||
They may come to that. | ||
I hope it doesn't. | ||
I hope they back off. | ||
But, you know, the message here is it's time to back off. | ||
We're not who we thought we were. | ||
We're not as strong as we thought we were. | ||
Russia just showed the whole world that. | ||
unidentified
|
They just exposed us. | |
So let's take a step back. | ||
Let's reevaluate. | ||
Let's regroup, you know, and then we can maybe dictate terms to other countries. | ||
But not now. | ||
We're not strong enough. | ||
So that's that. | ||
But we're out of time. | ||
We're going to move on. | ||
And we will take a look at our Super Chats. | ||
And we'll see what you guys have to say about all this. | ||
So let me pull up our Super Chats for the night. | ||
Not a lot of Super Chats. | ||
We only have 20 Super Chats. | ||
Well, I guess I can't really complain. | ||
One night I say, we have 80 Super Chats. | ||
That's way too many. | ||
And then people are like, alright, well we won't Super Chat. | ||
unidentified
|
And then I'm like, what the heck? | |
I guess what I want is lots of Super Chats, but that don't suck. | ||
Maybe that's too much to ask, but... Anyway, we're gonna move on here. | ||
unidentified
|
Let me just take a sip. | |
Yeah, pretty interesting stuff. | ||
I don't know how you guys are liking the news on Russia and Ukraine. | ||
Because I know a lot of the foreign policy shows... | ||
Don't do as well as the other shows? | ||
You know, when I, and this has historically been true, whenever I talk about Afghanistan or North Korea or Iran or Russia, I get a much smaller audience. | ||
So I don't know how you guys, obviously now it's far more relevant than ever, but I'm wondering, do you guys like the shows about foreign relations? | ||
Because that's my favorite thing. | ||
If I could, I would just do all foreign relations all the time, but... | ||
I'm wondering what you think, if it's interesting enough. | ||
unidentified
|
I think it's interesting, but... This is my topic. | |
So... Yeah, so I think it's pretty interesting. | ||
All right. | ||
Let's get into it. | ||
Let's read the Super Chats. | ||
Mmm, I just had a head rush You know when you get that feeling you get that like pins and needles feeling when you stand up too quickly It's too hot in here I have my shoes on that's why I was out to dinner and then I came back and I Yes, I still have my jeans on. | ||
Still have my going out jeans. | ||
These aren't my show jeans. | ||
These are my going out jeans. | ||
I have two pairs of pants. | ||
I have one pair of jeans I wear here. | ||
I have one pair of jeans I wear out. | ||
unidentified
|
And that's it. | |
And I have my going out shoes on. | ||
Not my staying home shoes on. | ||
So they're both the same shoe. | ||
I have two pairs of the same shoe and one of them I wear at home and one of them I wear outside. | ||
So this is, so I'm all discombobulated here. | ||
I have the wrong pair of shoes on and the wrong pants. | ||
unidentified
|
Anyway. | |
Okay, so let's see. | ||
What do we got? | ||
unidentified
|
4theghosts says, just chat. | |
Is Nick our guy? | ||
What did he mean by this? | ||
unidentified
|
Thoughts? | |
Apologize to him. | ||
Explain yourselves. | ||
Refute this. | ||
unidentified
|
Prove him wrong. | |
Pro tip, you can't. | ||
unidentified
|
We got too cocky, okay? | |
Prettyflywhiteguy says, hey Nick, day 9 and it's almost Friday. | ||
Have a good night, friend. | ||
Thanks a lot. | ||
Yeah, I can't wait for Friday. | ||
Thank God it's Friday, but I'm still streaming all weekend. | ||
I always do this to myself. | ||
I always every time it gets to the weekend Well, I plan stuff out for the weekend all week then it's the weekend and I'm like, oh man I just wanted to take the night off and then I filled it up with shit over the past week so So I never really get a break. | ||
I never really get to take a day off. | ||
You know, I'm always Nick Fuentes. | ||
I'm always doing this so So yeah, I'm saying thank God it's Friday, but I got a stream on Saturday, I got a stream on Sunday, and then it's Monday again. | ||
unidentified
|
So... So yeah, thank God. | |
It feels like it's Monday every day. | ||
Whoops, I'm in the wrong tab here. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Anon says, hypothetically, you want to game with the boys, but your wife wants to watch The Notebook with you. | ||
What do you do? | ||
Who do you choose? | ||
Is that even a question? | ||
you know you already know you You already know. | ||
Yeah, I mean, what even is that? | ||
Is that supposed to be a joke or something? | ||
I know some people that would choose the former. | ||
I know some people that would... or the latter, I mean. | ||
I know some people that that's their move. | ||
They do this thing where they would rather hang out with their wives or girlfriends than their friends. | ||
I know all about that. | ||
Oh yeah, I've known about that for a long time. | ||
I know it's sort of like hoes before bros, niggas. | ||
Yeah, but I'm a bros before hoes kind of a guy. | ||
So... | ||
Just bros, no hoes is really the ideal policy, actually. | ||
Bros, no hoes. | ||
But yeah, if I ever get married, it'll certainly be bros over hoes. | ||
I can't imagine. | ||
I can't imagine being the other way, but it's out there. | ||
Believe me, it's out there. | ||
I've seen it. | ||
Name them! | ||
Oh, I would never do that. | ||
I would never do that. | ||
But some of these bros, they've got a penchant to be hoes before bros. | ||
I can never understand that. | ||
I think it's totally wrong. | ||
I think it's completely fucked up. | ||
But I honestly think there's something wrong with you if that's how you are. | ||
But believe me, but it's out there. | ||
But it's out there. | ||
But maybe I'm just old school. | ||
Maybe I'm just old school like that. | ||
Or maybe I'm just not a simp. | ||
I don't know, but Yeah, some of these niggas, they're all about the hoes. | ||
You could, in a sense, say they're all ho, no bro. | ||
You know, there's all bro, no ho, which is me. | ||
There are people that are bros before hoes, hoes before bros, and then there's no bro, all hoes. | ||
And certainly I know people that are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. | ||
They are all ho, no bros. | ||
And I just can't really get along with people like that. | ||
I just can't really do it. | ||
You know, we try, but it just doesn't work, so... I just can't respect it. | ||
I just can't respect it. | ||
I can't deal with that. | ||
So... It's like, hey, you know, you wanna hang out? | ||
Call a hoe. | ||
You know, hey, you wanna job? | ||
You wanna this? | ||
You wanna that? | ||
Call a fucking hoe. | ||
Okay? | ||
Call the hoe. | ||
unidentified
|
You know, if you're all about the hoes, hey, call the hoe. | |
So, anyway... | ||
Yeah, I'm sanctioning, I am sanctioning all niggas who put hoes before the bros. | ||
I'm cutting off the gas, I'm cutting off the oil, I'm cutting off the Nick coin. | ||
You cannot do business in Nick Fuentes coin if you are, if you're aligned with Sips, if you're aligned with the hoes. | ||
I am sanctioning the hoes and I am sanctioning anybody else who is allied with the hoes. | ||
You have to be allied with me and the bros. | ||
Really me, but also the bros as well. | ||
So... You're either with them, which is NATO, or you're with me, and I am Putin. | ||
That's the analogy, okay? | ||
The expansion of the ho alliance, I will not accept it. | ||
I would rather destroy the bros than give them to the hoes. | ||
I would rather destroy. | ||
I would destroy a bro. | ||
unidentified
|
No, kidding of course, but... | |
But yeah, it's one of those things. | ||
Don't be hoes first. | ||
We're America first, but we're also bros first. | ||
Don't catch yourself being a hoes first individual. | ||
Not a good look. | ||
Not good. | ||
So just be careful. | ||
Be careful. | ||
Okay? | ||
Be careful. | ||
Be cautious. | ||
Because I see it all the time and it's not good. | ||
Anyway, so is that even a question? | ||
That's not even a question for me. | ||
You know how I roll. | ||
I roll with the homies. | ||
Zoomer Will says you should be like Jordan Peterson and start crying every time you get asked a question. | ||
Yeah, what's going on with that? | ||
That guy, he should just bow out from public life. | ||
The guy's a mess. | ||
I don't know how you get to that point. | ||
But you gotta step away. | ||
The guy's a wreck. | ||
I don't know what happened with him, but he was good. | ||
I mean, well, I don't know if he was ever good. | ||
He said some good things. | ||
He did some good stuff years ago. | ||
And then at some point, he just, like, got all fucked up. | ||
I don't know. | ||
People say it's drugs. | ||
People say it's, uh, his wife got sick. | ||
Listen, I don't know, but then he disappeared for a while, and he came back. | ||
And now that he's back, he just breaks down. | ||
Every interview he goes on, he just starts crying all the time. | ||
And, like, I... Listen, I'm not one of these people that says, oh, you should never cry. | ||
I never cry. | ||
I would never cry in public. | ||
But, um, or at least I would try to. | ||
I don't think men should cry, generally. | ||
But if a man does cry, you can understand in extraordinary circumstances, whatever, that the guy cries every time he gets on TV. | ||
You can't... Something's not right. | ||
People that cry that much, something's just not right there, so... | ||
He's got to bow out. | ||
He's got to get out of the public eye because it's not the fame. | ||
It's very bad for you. | ||
If you're crying like that, you're not well. | ||
And if you're not well, you shouldn't be subjected to fame because fame is toxic. | ||
Everybody thinks it's this great thing. | ||
It's actually horrible. | ||
Very little upside, very big downside. | ||
And you don't really understand that until you have any degree of fame. | ||
And then you realize it's like it just sucks for the most part. | ||
It has perks, but mostly it just sucks. | ||
And it's a lot more negativity than positivity, for sure. | ||
Because people are generally more negative than they are positive. | ||
People are more judgmental than they are sort of magnanimous. | ||
So that's no—if you're not well, being in the public eye is no place to be, really. | ||
So he should bow out and get well, because there's something wrong with him. | ||
Um, but yeah, that's my feelings on that. | ||
Boo says, our message to suburban moms can be, do you want grandchildren? | ||
Then we can deconstruct and abolish women's rights. | ||
Then you'll have grandchildren much faster. | ||
Dads will be happier than so will moms. | ||
Wow, great idea. | ||
Yeah, that sounds like a really easy hack. | ||
You meet a 70 year old woman. | ||
Hi, I want to take all your rights away. | ||
You want to have grandkids, right? | ||
Like, Thanks for the tip, but why don't you let me do the talking, actually? | ||
Boo says CozyTV reminds me of Super Smash Bros. | ||
It's like all the most iconic characters of internet politics coming together under Nick's benevolent embrace, playing and smiling. | ||
What would we do without you? | ||
So true! | ||
What would this movement do without me? | ||
I don't know. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know, but... | |
Yeah, no, it is. | ||
It's pretty cool. | ||
It's pretty cool to have everybody crossed over on here. | ||
Based Poland says, Nick, do you think these Constitution are the solution groups like John Birch Society efforts are worthwhile? | ||
Or is the foundation of America so crumbled it's irredeemable? | ||
There's no way. | ||
The Constitution is not the solution, actually. | ||
unidentified
|
It just isn't. | |
So, no. | ||
I do not think that that is... | ||
I don't think that's productive at all, actually. | ||
Argentinian Groyper says, hi! | ||
unidentified
|
Hi. | |
ForTheGhost says, I did not know Cozy will ban anti-gay talk. | ||
No, we definitely don't ban anti-gay talk. | ||
But maybe you're just... but you're a very obnoxious person, so they probably banned you for something else. | ||
He says, irregardless, fuck the swatters for stressing your mother out, Nick. | ||
Please do not kill your girlfriend. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |

I'm wondering if you support federal candidates in D.C. | ||
curious about your support for candidates i have a friend who's considering running locally i'm wondering if you support federal candidates in dc or also state senate um listen i'm really i'm supporting everybody everybody that i'm already supporting that's why i'm supporting for 2022 so i'm not just supporting anybody You know, we've got a few candidates that we're putting a lot of our resources into, so I don't know who you're talking about. | ||
But no, I'm not weighing in every race, every state and local race, or random people. | ||
Glunion Groyper says, Nick, have you seen the movie Look Who's Back? | ||
It's like a Hitler version of Borat. | ||
Also, my liberal friend ate an onion in English class. | ||
I told him he was now a Fuente supporter. | ||
Cheers! | ||
unidentified
|
Ha ha ha. | |
No, I've never seen that movie. | ||

Good night. | ||

Well, let me know how it goes. | ||
You're gonna get in trouble though. | ||
If you use my talking points from the show, you'll probably get in trouble, but... | ||
unidentified
|
But that's okay. | |
That's what I did. | ||
I got in trouble when I was in speech. | ||
No, I don't think so, actually. | ||

Thank you for the coverage on this important topic. | ||
Hey, thanks a lot. | ||
God of Conquest says, I saw an article today that said the U.S. | ||
Army is reducing its recruitment target numbers for the fiscal year 22 to 23 because they can't entice people to enlist. | ||
Another sign of a dying empire. | ||
Yeah, very true. | ||
Eddie Van Grams as you see the video of that black guy punching a white guy who is running in track. | ||
The black guy runs into the track and clocks this white guy. | ||
I can smell the race relations. | ||
I did see that. | ||
Yeah, that was a very black thing to do. | ||
Spinefish says, do you like coleslaw? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
SoCal Mike says, Tom Luongo has some good geopolitical takes on this situation. | ||
Like yourself, does a Monday show with your old pal Halsey. | ||
These neocons are driving us off the cliff. | ||
Yeah, very true. | ||
IP2Zoomer says, America first, bitch, unless you're hosed before bros, bitch. | ||
unidentified

AIM says, Love you, Nick, but the Navy's TR-3B and other breakaway technology... Here we go, nerd voice. | ||

That's what the Nimitz incident was all about, nigga. | |
Yeah, okay. | ||
Sebastian says, So I'm at the gym trying to converse. | ||
With one of my fellow Roid Ragers and he can't stop looking at all the ass like the little sex addict he is so annoying so much muscle yet still a simp anybody it can happen to anybody and honestly a lot of muscle heads are muscle heads because they're simps the vanity and the sort of self-grooming, manicuring, it's really, it's about women. | ||
You'll find with a lot of them, they don't really have a deep, they're not very deep people. | ||
They don't really have deep interests. | ||
Some of them do, but you'll find a lot of people in the gym are there for one reason, and that's because they're average or below average in every other way. | ||
And so they want to look muscular. | ||
And so they become top 10% in muscle, and then they can, you know, pick up girls. | ||
That's what it is. | ||
It's not all of them, but a lot of them, that's the motivation. | ||
It's not that deep, it's not about looking like a Roman statue, it's about getting attention from women, and then they get dopamine from that, and that's what it's about. | ||
So, I mean, they may say, oh, I wanna be like, I wanna build muscle, cause the body's a temple, and Socrates said, it's like, nigga, it's not about Socrates. | ||
You're an average-looking guy and you just want female attention. | ||
It's what it is. | ||
Not all of them, but a lot of them. | ||
Not the people that are watching my show, they're in it for the real reasons. | ||
But the people that don't watch my show, they're doing it for women. | ||
And that's just a fact. | ||
So it's actually, it's probably more common, actually, with people that have muscles. | ||
Because it's, you know, it's one of those self-selection biases. | ||
unidentified
|
But... | |
I just can't stand that. | ||
I mean, you know, I lived my whole life just being kind of not about that. | ||
And then, you know, I met certain people and I'm almost surprised at it. | ||
I'm surprised at certain people I know where, you know, people get comfortable with me. | ||
And then that's all they want to talk about. | ||
Then that's all they talk about. | ||
And I'm like, really? | ||
Like, I thought you were not like that. | ||
Um, yeah, it's just... It's like, yeah, okay, that's great. | ||
What, have you never seen a woman before? | ||
What is this, like, new to you or something? | ||
I mean, the shit that I've heard, I'm just like, what the f... What are you, like... What, are you taking Cialis or something? | ||
Like, what's the story? | ||
Have you... You swear, it's like these people have never seen a girl before, the way they go in public, and it's like, whoa, did you see that? | ||
It's like, uh, yeah, like, I'm 23, man. | ||
What, are you just hitting puberty now? | ||
Like, seriously. | ||
Spinefish says Louisiana is the state with the two longest bridges in America. | ||
Oh cool. | ||
Max says something I'm really curious about. | ||
What was your first rabbit hole you went down? | ||
For some it's 9-11, JFK. | ||
What was your first and why? | ||
good night buddy hmm well you You want to know the real well, you probably all know the real first rabbit hole I went down. | ||
It's the most controversial And then after that probably The Israel lobby, I think that was probably the the biggest one I Brock said there are decades where nothing happens and then weeks when decades happen. | ||
Vladimir Lenin. | ||
I feel this quote is very telling about the seemingly impending collapse of US unipolarity. | ||
Wow, it's very profound. | ||
Really, that's really impactful. | ||
Basterisk says Tommy Sotomayor on Cozy. | ||
I don't know who that is. | ||
