| Good evening. | ||
| - Good evening, everybody. | ||
| You're 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 tonight, lots to get into. | ||
| Big show! | ||
| Kind of some big news tonight. | ||
| It's been a slow week, but some big news tonight. | ||
| And our featured story is about a big whistleblower report about the FBI. | ||
| Apparently the FBI office in Richmond, Virginia is talking about surveilling traditional Catholics. | ||
| They say that so-called radical traditional Catholics are a vector for political extremism, potentially violence, and so the FBI talks about sending in people to surveil the traditional Latin mass. | ||
| And the statement was actually retracted tonight. | ||
| It came out last night and the FBI said they responded to, I believe, multiple requests for comment on this and they said that they're actually going to eliminate this bulletin. | ||
| They're going to get rid of this. | ||
| Major backlash tonight from a lot of traditional Catholics. | ||
| So we'll talk about that. | ||
| We'll also be talking tonight about James O'Keefe at Project Veritas. | ||
| Major civil war. | ||
| Going on over there. | ||
| And I'm sure you guys are all familiar with Project Veritas. | ||
| They do the undercover cell phone videos, things like that. | ||
| And their main guy is James O'Keefe. | ||
| He's like the leader of it and he's synonymous with the group. | ||
| He's their pioneer. | ||
| He's their leader. | ||
| I don't love the guy. | ||
| You know, I don't know him. | ||
| He's never acknowledged me. | ||
| And honestly, I've never been the biggest fan of his, but I never really had a problem with him. | ||
| I always thought he was one of the better ones, actually. | ||
| But he's in a major civil war over his company. | ||
| He got put on paid leave pending, potentially, him being deposed from his position as the chief of the company. | ||
| And now there's all this All these rumors flying around about a coup by some of the board members and people trying to get in on all the money that's in the trust. | ||
| I guess it's a 501c3, 501c4 non-profit like Turning Point USA. | ||
| And the rumor is that people are trying to carve up all the money in there and it's being led by this Jewish guy who I actually met. | ||
| So we'll talk about that too. | ||
| Should be a pretty good show. | ||
| Some interesting stuff for once. | ||
| Finally, I feel like the last week it was just like a joke. | ||
| The spy balloon thing. | ||
| Just hate it. | ||
| And the State of the Union was really boring. | ||
| And nobody even watched it. | ||
| The ratings came out and apparently it was the lowest rated, one of the lowest rated State of the Union speeches ever. | ||
| It's all around kind of a boring week, but we have some news tonight. | ||
| Before we get into that, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live. | ||
| Also follow me on Gab Telegram, true social, links are down below. | ||
| And what else? | ||
| Not too much going on. | ||
| I had a pretty productive day. | ||
| I had a pretty productive day. | ||
| I woke up early. | ||
| I got a lot of work done. | ||
| Because we have all these projects going on. | ||
| And I've been busy with other stuff. | ||
| I've been busy over here in L.A. working on political stuff. | ||
| So I have like a million projects going on. | ||
| There's all kinds of things that I want to do. | ||
| And we have people working on different things. | ||
| And so today I was finally able to buckle down and just kick some ass and get in some group calls and say, Hey, get to work! | ||
| I feel like a jerk, but I need to get in there and just say, hey, what are we doing? | ||
| So I had to jump in one thing, and I'm like, hey, we need some new ideas over here. | ||
| I was kind of like a jerk, but sometimes you need to get the attitude out. | ||
| And then I jumped in this other thing, I'm reading through this script, and I'm like, THIS IS TERRIBLE! | ||
| THIS IS BAD WRITING! | ||
| Rewrite it! | ||
| You know, so I'm getting in there, and I'm getting all agitated, and then I'm like, alright, you know, I just need to eat something. | ||
| I didn't eat all day, I was pissed off, so then I ordered Thai food. | ||
| You know, I never had Thai food before, but my LA friends took me to this Thai place, And... I don't know, I kind of liked it. | ||
| So now I'm like totally LA, I guess. | ||
| So I got the Thai food. | ||
| It's too spicy. | ||
| It's always... I never finish it because it's too spicy, but it was okay. | ||
| I got these egg rolls, and it looks like there's plastic in them. | ||
| Like, I don't know what... Here, I'll show you. | ||
| I still have one. | ||
| Here, look at this. | ||
| Now, what the fuck is that? | ||
| I was eating these and it looks like plastic. | ||
| I'm so paranoid ever since all this yay stuff has been going on. | ||
| I'm just like so paranoid I feel like people are just trying to kill me all the time and anyway so I get these egg rolls and it says vegetable I'm thinking oh you know like carrots | ||
| or whatever and there's it's like these these little it's like these things I'm like what the fuck is that so I I turn to my assistant and I'm like we're on like a group call we're on like a phone call and I'm like is this plastic and he's like no that's not he's like no that's not plastic I'm like oh okay I'm like I already ate like three of them I'm like oh okay What is that? | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| It was like a vegetable egg roll from a Thai... Can anyone tell me what that is? | ||
| Is that a vegetable? | ||
| Is that... What the fuck is that? | ||
| But I was eating it and I'm like, this is plastic. | ||
| I'm eating... They fed me plastic because they want to kill me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's gar... Garloid? | |
| Cat intestine? | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
| Bean sprout? | ||
| Yeah, it's probably... Rice noodle? | ||
| That's rice noodles. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, yeah, that makes sense. | |
| Well, I've just never seen it before. | ||
| So I guess it's like, what, rice but longer? | ||
| It's like rice but longer. | ||
| I guess. | ||
| I literally ate this and I bit into it and I was like, what is that? | ||
| Did they... Is this some kind of sick prank? | ||
| I'm like, they're pranking me. | ||
| This is some kind of sick prank. | ||
| They just took a bunch of plastic shavings and they put it in the egg roll to feed to me. | ||
| I tell you, ever since I got out here, it's just, I'm looking over my shoulder, I'm checking to see what's going on. | ||
| But anyway, so I had that for dinner and feeling pretty good. | ||
| Had a pretty productive day. | ||
| Why does the camera look like this? | ||
| I feel like the camera looks kind of like not super great quality tonight. | ||
| I feel like it looks like it's, there's some goggits on there. | ||
| Yeah, is that better? | ||
| Okay, I feel like that looks a little better. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| It looked like kind of like there was a fingerprint on there before. | ||
| Better? | ||
| There we go! | ||
| Better! | ||
| Okay, so it wasn't just me. | ||
| I was gonna say it looked kind of funky. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How does it look now? | |
| How does this look? | ||
| How does that jawline look? | ||
| Hang on, it's like mirrored. | ||
| How's that jawline look, huh? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyway. | |
| Okay, so that was my day. | ||
| Had some, I had the Taco Bell breakfast box, Cinnabon Delight Coffee. | ||
| Good stuff! | ||
| I got a Grande Toasted Cheese Burrito, Ash Brown Cinnabon Delight, Cinnabon Delight Coffee. | ||
| I could go for some coffee right now, but it's too late. | ||
| So it was a pretty good day. | ||
| It was sunny out. | ||
| It was like 75 or something. | ||
| So it was nice and warm. | ||
| Stepped outside. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay, all right, let's get into it. | ||
| So yeah, so it was pretty chill. | ||
| Oh, yeah, one other thing. | ||
| Okay, so get this. | ||
| So I guess on Tucker Carlson the other night, and I'm gonna say what's going on with Tucker. | ||
| I gotta check and see if I can talk about it. | ||
| I gotta check with whoever told me, but I think I might wanna say something about it. | ||
| Maybe on like Monday, I'll let everybody know, but not 100%. | ||
| Not 100%. | ||
| I got to ask first. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| Mmm. | ||
| I'm really thirsty right now. | ||
| But, so this is unrelated. | ||
| I may I may talk about that on Monday, but On Tucker Carlson's show last night he had Lauren Southern on Hang on there's a garloid on my spacebar Lauren Southern was on Tucker Carlson last night because like her parents got banned on Airbnb and then quickly reinstated and | ||
| It was like okay you know I was watching it and I gotta say Lauren Southern she doesn't look that bad she looked kind of funky before and you know she looked a little not so hot like early on then she got all that work done and she looked kind of funky for a minute she actually looks pretty good I don't know if it was the makeup or what shut up shut up I know everyone's gonna say like oh you're a simp you're you know whatever but | ||
| She's actually looking not, not too bad the other night. | ||
| You know, good for her. | ||
| Good for her. | ||
| She's on Tucker. | ||
| I talked to her recently. | ||
| I don't really have a big problem with her. | ||
| I know there are some people that I know that don't like her. | ||
| Like Paul Joseph Watson, and there are some others, but um... | ||
| But I talked to her, she was alright, she was friendly, and she was looking pretty good, so good for her. | ||
| She was on Tucker, and she was talking about how her parents, so she's banned on Airbnb, and then her parents got banned, because she's banned, and it literally said that in the email. | ||
| Like, Airbnb emailed her parents and said, we are going to permanently suspend your account, because you're related Because of your, it said, like, close association with someone who is banned, which is pretty wild. | ||
| I've never seen anything like that, and I'm banned on Airbnb, I'm banned on everything, but my parents haven't been. | ||
| I don't know if that they've ever tried to book anything, but, um, because they don't really travel, but I've never heard of that before so it is pretty outrageous I will say that it's pretty out there but I'm watching the clip and it's like it's a lot of your usual stuff I mean she's she's doing all right and Tucker's doing his usual thing and she says oh well they overestimated how woke their their customer base is their customer base | ||
| There was all this backlash, so they were forced to rescind the ban, and my parents were reinstated, and blah blah. | ||
| And Tucker said the most out-of-pocket, he said something like, this is what they do in North Korea. | ||
| They banned you, huh. | ||
| So they banned your parents because of their genetic, because they're genetically related to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's like Nazi race science. | |
| And I'm like, time out. | ||
| Nazi race science, what? | ||
| What does that have to do? | ||
| And I was sitting there watching it, and I'm like, no, I think it's obviously because she's banned, and if they are her parents, then they would be a way that she could circumvent the ban. | ||
| If she's banned, of course we all know that anybody could say, oh, mom and dad, let me use your account, and then she can circumvent that. | ||
| Like, I think that's why they did it. | ||
| Not defending it, obviously. | ||
| I'm banned on Airbnb. | ||
| I don't, I'm not saying that's a good thing. | ||
| But I'm saying that's obviously the reason why they did it. | ||
| That's clearly the reason. | ||
| I don't even know that they want to punish the parents. | ||
| It's more like, we don't want her using the product. | ||
| We don't want her to circumvent it. | ||
| At least that, I think that is a reasonable assumption. | ||
| And Tucker goes on the show and says, It's Nazi race science for Airbnb to ban Lauren Southern's parents from the platform. | ||
| Like, and again, now I understand saying it's, uh, it's overreach, and it is. | ||
| Like, he's correct. | ||
| It is totally legitimate and justified to be outraged by that. | ||
| It shouldn't be that way. | ||
| It's outrageous enough that anybody would be banned. | ||
| It is totally outrageous that the relatives of people who are banned would be banned. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| But the way he was framing it, he was like, well, they're banning your parents because your parents are genetically related to you. | ||
| So therefore, they're punishing your parents for your genetics, which is like the Nazis, and that's like Nazi race science. | ||
| And it was just the most convoluted thing I had ever heard. | ||
| And it reminded me of Ye on Infowars when he said, we're gonna stop dissing the Nazis all the time. | ||
| Every time I hear that, that's exactly how I feel. | ||
| Like when people compare stuff to the Nazis, because that's always what the right wing does. | ||
| They're like, oh, they're the real Nazis. | ||
| They're really like Hitler. | ||
| The left are the real Nazis. | ||
| Every time I hear that, I'm like, and we're gonna stop dissing the Nazis all the time. | ||
| I was watching that, I had to pull up that clip. | ||
| It's so outrageous, you know, I get so frustrated by everything. | ||
| Because, it's like, it's all this crap I gotta deal with to begin with. | ||
| You know, I'm working through my day. | ||
| I'm going, you know, we're doing all kinds of stuff and I have to put up with all the usual censorship stuff and fallout from censorship and things like that. | ||
| I'm not going to get into it, but I was already annoyed today. | ||
| I had to deal with a lot of stupid stuff and then. | ||
| I go on YouTube to look up this clip because it was funny and I'm trying to find the yay Alex Jones interview and we have it of course like I have it archived on Telegram and everything but you got to download it and you got to scrub through and find the clip I'm just trying to find the highlights and you go on YouTube and this was like one of the biggest things of the year And, of course, the YouTube algorithm makes it so that there's no copy of it anywhere. | ||
| It's impossible to find. | ||
| The only results when you look for that are Secular Talk and The Young Turks and NBC, you know, their coverage of it. | ||
| And it's like, I just can't take all this crap anymore. | ||
| Like, I just have no patience for it. | ||
| I go on these websites, I go on any website, and it's like, pop-up, pop-up, pop-up, pop-up, sign up for our email, pop-up. | ||
| There's this new thing they're doing with cookies. | ||
| Where I guess Apple and Safari and Google, I don't know if it's Google so much as it is Apple, but have you ever noticed there's this new trend where it pops up and they're like forced to give you an option to not accept all the cookies but you have to click through five different things. | ||
| They'll say like accept all cookies or manage your cookie preference. | ||
| And then once you click manage your cookie preference, you have to like uncheck 20 things, uncheck, you know, this kind of cookie, and that one, and that one, and you have to click through. | ||
| And they only do that to make it like just a little bit arduous, just to make it a little bit of a hassle, so that you'll just accept all the cookies and just do it. | ||
| So it's like that's, so that's the thing. | ||
| So you go on the website and it's like boom, uh, accept all cookies, fuck off. | ||
| Then boom, sign up, sign up for our email list right now, fuck off. | ||
| Then it's like boom, uh, this is just a preview. | ||
| You've run out of free articles. | ||
| Sign up, five dollars. | ||
| Then you go on YouTube searching Kanye West based Alex Jones interview. | ||
| No results. | ||
| Curated results. | ||
| You know, you can't find it there. | ||
| Then, you know, my Google account that I'm logged into on my browser is banned from YouTube. | ||
| They didn't delete the Gmail account, but they banned the Gmail, which is linked to the browser, from being on YouTube. | ||
| So I go on YouTube and I can't load two pages of search results. | ||
| I can't load comments. | ||
| And it's like, bruh. | ||
| Then, I go on YouTube and it's advertisements, and it's all advertisements from stuff I'm looking up. | ||
| There's like a 30 second advertisement, it's like, ab workout. | ||
| It's like, get abs in 30 minutes. | ||
| All these ab, I'm like embarrassed. | ||
| I got this guy sitting over here and it's just like, ab workout advertisements. | ||
| I'm like, Hey man, like, I just want to look good, okay? | ||
| And then there's another one we were talking about, like, taking a trip to Europe and stuff. | ||
| We're talking about going to Italy or going to, like, Germany or something. | ||
| Apparently there's a lot of, like, people in Germany who, like, love Hitler and like me and stuff. | ||
| And it's like, you know, take a vacation in Italy, advertisement. | ||
| Leave me the fuck alone. | ||
| I'm just so... | ||
| I can't take it anymore. | ||
| That kind of stuff is just driving me crazy. | ||
| Taking all that, because it's bad enough as like a regular human being, but then it's all the hoops I gotta drum through as me. | ||
| Like, I'm banned from Airbnb, and all this other stuff. | ||
| It's like, chill. | ||
| My arm hurts. | ||
| My shoulder hurts, too. | ||
| I got this weird pain in my shoulder today. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| Is that a heart attack? | ||
| It's like a weird, like a weird pain. | ||
| I would describe it as like achy, but also like a soft, like a weird pain. | ||
| So I'm having kind of like an annoying day. | ||
| But anyway, so that's like a total detour. | ||
| But I saw that Tucker Carlson clip. | ||
| And he said, yeah, Lauren Southern's parents being banned from Airbnb is like Nazi race science. | ||
| I'm like, what am I watching? | ||
| Is this Hannity? | ||
| Did I? | ||
| Is this the wrong show? | ||
| Am I watching something else? | ||
| Yeah, Airbnb is like Hitler. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How? | |
| It's Nazi race science, like that doesn't even make any sense! | ||
| If you wanted to say that Amazon banning Jared Taylor is like the Nazis burning books, okay. | ||
| I see what you're, I see what you mean. | ||
| Well, Lauren Southern's related to her parents, and so they banned the parents for being related. | ||
| They're related genetically. | ||
| She's a child of the parents, so that's like how the Nazis thought that Jews were a genetic way, and it's like, what? | ||
| That doesn't even make any sense. | ||
| But they just, it's always just got to go back to the Nazis. | ||
| They can't ever just say anything is bad. | ||
| You can't even just say anything is bad anymore. | ||
| The, like, antisemitism is just synonymous with things that are bad. | ||
| Nothing could be bad in itself. | ||
| It's like, it's like if you go to a restaurant and the food isn't good. | ||
| You're like, this food is like antisemitism. | ||
| This food is like Hitler. | ||
| You can't even say like, I don't like how this food tastes. | ||
| You have to say, this food is as distasteful as being a Neo-Nazi in 2023. | ||
| Ew, I'm spitting this food out, just like I would spit out anti-Semitic rhetoric, just like I would spit out in disgust anti-Semitic tropes about money in the media. | ||
| Like, that's just cra- Can't we just say it's bad? | ||
| Can't we just say, you know, Airbnb- Airbnb shouldn't ban people, shouldn't ban people's parents? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| They're like Hitler. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| They're like the Nazis. | ||
| Specifically, the Nazis' genetic determinism. | ||
| What? | ||
| Like, I actually, like, hey, you know, genetics are real. | ||
| Like, does that make me a Nazi? | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| Anyway, I actually happen to believe... Well, I'm not gonna say that. | ||
| Anyway, I'm not gonna say that. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| That's enough. | ||
| That's enough for now. | ||
| I'm not gonna say that. | ||
| Lately, I've been just saying a lot of stuff to rile people up, and it's just, like, working. | ||
| And it just works. | ||
| I don't know what I expect. | ||
| Like, I go out the other day, and I'm like, I'm a Democrat. | ||
| I love Joe Biden. | ||
| I hate all these hillbillies dragging us back to the ranch. | ||
| And everybody's like, Nick loves Biden. | ||
| He's a Democrat. | ||
| He's just like Richard Spencer. | ||
| And I'm like, hey! | ||
| That's out of context! | ||
| And it's like, well, you know, you kind of asked for that. | ||
| Like, that was actually the reaction that you were, that's kind of like exactly the reaction you were going for. | ||
| So you can't really be mad at that point. | ||
| So anyway. | ||
| So I'm just gonna chill. | ||
| What I was gonna say is, like, I actually do agree that Jewish people act a certain way genetically. | ||
| I was gonna say, before, you know, before I decided to, like, walk that back, what I was about to say, what I was gonna say is, like, you know, I probably agree that, like, Jews do act a certain way genetically, just as we all act a certain way genetically, just, like, because all of our psychopathology is genetically determined. | ||
| significantly but you're not but y'all aren't ready for that but you know you guys aren't ready for that conversation I was actually reading an article about it I was reading this paper check this out here I brought the science this time It says, I got this from that guy that was on Vince James. | ||
| He didn't send it to me, but he linked it on his website. | ||
| It says, psychological researchers typically distinguish five major domains of individual difference in human behavior, cognitive ability, personality, social attitude, psychological interests, and psychopathology. | ||
| We conclude there is now strong evidence that virtually all individual psychological differences, when reliably measured, are moderately to substantially heritable. | ||
| So that means that basically the way that people act is genetic. | ||
| Like, you act the way your parents act. | ||
| The people, their intelligence, all those things, you know, you understand. | ||
| I just read it. | ||
| Your intelligence, your personality, Your psychology, all of those individual difference in how people function is genetically heritable to a significant extent. | ||
| Meaning that it's not environmental, it's not how they're raised, it's literally in their blood. | ||
| And you hear that old expression, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| The children are like their parents. | ||
| Go figure. | ||
| Go figure that just like height, weight, everything, you know, skin color, hair color, eye color, just like everything is heritable. | ||
| It turns out that so is your brain. | ||
| I know that's a crazy concept. | ||
| I was trying to explain that to Destiny and he's like, you're doing math with the person's soul? | ||
| It's like, no, it's just called genetics. | ||
| Like why would genetics stop at At the surface level. | ||
| You inherit everything else from your parents. | ||
| If both your parents have blue eyes, you'll have blue eyes. | ||
| If both your parents have fair skin, you'll have fair skin. | ||
| If your parents act a certain way, if their brain is a certain way, maybe your brain is going to be similar. | ||
| Why would we... What is this assumption that people's minds are a completely blank slate? | ||
| And if you just take them out of their cradle and give them to some other parent that we're just going to paint a new picture, on their consciousness on their mind it just doesn't even make any sense that's not to say that people don't have free will but it is to say that their temperament and a lot of these behavioral things well there may be a certain predisposition so | ||
| Anyway, so I was just gonna say, Tucker Carlson saying, if you get banned on Airbnb for being Lauren Southern's parents, that's Nazi race science. | ||
| It's like, hey, you know, if that's Nazi race science, well, you're not ready for this conversation. | ||
| Anyway, okay, but that's not even our show. | ||
| Let's get on, let's move on into the news, and let's see what we got going on here. | ||
| First story is about James O'Keefe. | ||
| I don't have any inside information about this, so... And I also don't really have a dog in this fight, to be honest with you, because I don't really know James O'Keefe. | ||
| He's never defended me, so I'm kind of... I'm really indifferent to his fate here. | ||
| But I'm sure you all know project Veritas. | ||
| They're a very prominent right-wing organization And I don't know what you would call them. | ||
| I guess they're like WikiLeaks. | ||
| They're they're not journalists They're more what do they call that the fifth estate? | ||
| They say it's like above journalists. | ||
| It's like these leakers whistleblowers You could say muckrakers something like that. | ||
| I So they go out there and they do these undercover recordings on Pfizer and on Big Tech and on the Democrats and stuff like that. | ||
| And you all know James O'Keefe is their guy. | ||
| He's like their spokesperson. | ||
| He's the chief over there. | ||
| And quite honestly, he does a good job. | ||
| I think that he's, I think he gets a little carried away with some of the theatrics, especially lately. | ||
| In the last two years, he thinks he's like a pop star. | ||
| I don't know if you've seen all of his stuff, but he put out like a music video called... What was it called? | ||
| Help me out here. | ||
| It was called... Something about the media. | ||
| Anybody know? | ||
| It was called... Help me out here in the live chat. | ||
| Give it to me in the live chat. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| It was... | ||
| oligarchy it was called oligarchy yeah oh my gosh he literally did a music video where he's pretending to be Michael Jackson and he's doing the whole thing dancing and snapping and singing and and you know on some level I get it I get what he's trying to do Honestly, I completely understand it, and I don't think it's well executed, but I think the premise is correct. | ||
| He wants to make it sexy. | ||
| He wants to make it exciting. | ||
| He wants to be more than just a journalist. | ||
| He wants to be... | ||
| I mean, a pop star. | ||
| He idolized Michael Jackson. | ||
| He wants to be Michael Jackson. | ||
| But I get it. | ||
| He wants it to be cultural. | ||
| He wants it to be more than just a narrow political activism. | ||
| He wants it to be counter-cultural. | ||
| And so, for him to go and make a music video, it's actually very bold. | ||
| I actually do commend him as somebody that is creative, as somebody that does do risky things like that. | ||
| Nothing like that, but as somebody that I experiment with my look and I experiment with some of the things that I do, I actually respect the effort. | ||
| It's bold, it's different. | ||
| To put yourself out there and do something like that, it does take a little courage and a little vision and some follow-through. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| I don't think it works, but I respect him for that, and I get what he's doing. | ||
| I don't think it's totally crazy. | ||
| So anyway, all of that aside, I think he does a pretty good job. | ||
| The Project Veritas is a very wealthy organization. | ||
| They've got the best lawyers. | ||
| They have a lot of money, and they, unlike other groups, actually deliver a product. | ||
| They deliver the goods. | ||
| I mean, yeah, they do haul in a ton of money, and they jealously guard their lawyers who are able to get retractions from journalists. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| At the end of the day, they're dropping bombshells. | ||
| They're dropping big stories on big tech, on education, on all the COVID stuff. | ||
| I think they did some stuff with the CDC, with Pfizer. | ||
| I can't hate them. | ||
| They're not about the drama. | ||
| They're not about even really the GOP crap. | ||
| They just attack the enemy. | ||
| So, for that, I actually, I don't have a huge problem with them. | ||
| I think they're actually one of the better groups. | ||
| And I've heard all kinds of rumors about James O'Keefe. | ||
| I heard something really funny about him. | ||
| I heard this story about how he told this, he was having sex with this girl, and then that's very immoral. | ||
| You know, I don't support that, of course. | ||
| I'm an incel and all that. | ||
| But I guess he like was gaslighting her and told her that she couldn't get fat and and I don't remember exactly the story but it was one of these things where he was like listen bitch like you gotta lose all this weight ghosted her just some serious like no simp Chad business and you know me I'm not about that like I I don't really believe in that kind of thing But it is a little bit refreshing to hear that, as opposed to all these, like, simp guys on the timeline. | ||
| So I've heard about some of his impropriety before, and so in other words, we're about to go into this, and... | ||
| There's all this drama today about apparently there's a big mutiny happening at Project Veritas where they put him on paid leave, they want to get rid of him, and it's because there was this big staff complaint that he's abusive, that there's some sexual stuff, they're complaining about his management of the company, that he spends too much money on the dancing stuff. | ||
| And so I guess what I'm trying to get at is There is a lot of validity, I think, to what they're saying. | ||
| But at the same time, it also doesn't matter because he's delivering the goods. | ||
| So, and maybe you guys disagree with this, but I'm a big believer in the great man theory of history. | ||
| I'm a big believer in great men. | ||
| I want to be a great man. | ||
| I admire and I love great men. | ||
| I think any precocious, talented person does. | ||
| I think any assertive, individualistic person, any man, feels that way. | ||
| There are a lot of people that don't. | ||
| There are a lot of people that are content to just be part of the undifferentiated mass, you know, of 80% of people. | ||
| But I feel like there is a spiritual elite of people that want to be the changemakers in the world. | ||
| And so my view has always been on these sorts of things, that human beings are all flawed, men are all flawed, and the world is a messy place, and to accomplish very ambitious, large things, it has to be ugly. | ||
| It just has to be. | ||
| You have to be an asshole, you have to be a hypocrite, you have to do things sometimes that are Questionable morally and that's not to say that we should lose our moral clarity or anything But when you look at all the great things that have happened in human history in any way whether that's a great piece of art or it's a piece of technology or a great company or a war or a great country that goes through a revival and | ||
| It's never as simple as, you know, a guy is gonna get a consensus from everybody, and he's nice to everybody, and he's totally unproblematic sexually, he just, like, really loves his wife, and, you know, doesn't have any other appetites or anything like that, he's not banging a bunch of women or whatever, and he's just, like, super nice, and doesn't make mistakes, and, you know, perfectly moral, like, You know, it's almost never like that. | ||
| And so what you have to do is weigh the greatness against the charge. | ||
| And so with a guy like, and maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, this is James O'Keefe, but in this case it does, the principle does apply. | ||
| Here's a guy who's really doing a great job. | ||
| And I have no reason to say that. | ||
| I don't know him. | ||
| He's never defended me. | ||
| He's actually ignored me. | ||
| He's never said anything negative, but he's never really gone out of his way to be nice to me. | ||
| So I really have no dog in this fight. | ||
| I just look at it objectively. | ||
| Here's a guy who objectively is doing a pretty good job. | ||
| I think Project Veritas, there's a lot of waste in politics. | ||
| There's a lot of money that just gets totally destroyed. | ||
| Like, so much money that just gets blown. | ||
| Like, it goes into these kinds of organizations and never goes anywhere. | ||
| Like, look at Turning Point USA. | ||
| They make like 40, 50 million dollars a year and they're headquartered in Arizona. | ||
| Did we win Arizona in the midterms? | ||
| Did we win Arizona in 2020? | ||
| Did they summon anybody for Stop the Steal? | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| That's $40 to $50 million per year. | ||
| They're headquartered in Arizona. | ||
| ASU is the biggest school in the country. | ||
| They have a massive presence there. | ||
| Did that really make any difference in the midterms? | ||
| Did it make a difference in 2020, in the election, or in Stop the Steal? | ||
| What's the point of all that youth engagement and get out the vote? | ||
| $40 million behind all that, and where's the fruits of all that? | ||
| I mean, what do they really even do? | ||
| I mean, their show, they produce a daily show like I do. | ||
| I produce a show on a budget of nothing. | ||
| They produce a show with a budget which is probably obscene. | ||
| 300 people watch that show. | ||
| 7,000 people watch this show. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And they do these conferences. | ||
| Their conferences are pretty good, but what do their conferences really do? | ||
| Like, what do they really contribute? | ||
| They bring out the politicians, and the politicians say their thing. | ||
| I do a conference every year that changes the conversation, that grabs headlines. | ||
| It's like, hey, here's a conference of over 1,000 people, 1,200 people, saying Christ is King, and it's pro-white, and it's talking about Jewish power, etc. | ||
| Like, anyway, so, and it's not about me, and it's not about Turning Point, but I bring those up as counterexamples to say there's a lot of waste in politics. | ||
| There's a lot of money that gets blown, and you never really see the tangible result. | ||
| Project Veritas promises to deliver these kinds of, like, whistleblower reports. | ||
| And they do! | ||
| And they do it very well, and they do it better than anybody, and the left-wing media hates them. | ||
| It goes viral every time. | ||
| It's always relevant. | ||
| And James O'Keefe spearheaded it. | ||
| I remember when I was, like, in high school and I saw their, like, their October Surprise sucked in 16. | ||
| But, you know, I remember watching those reports and he's not the most charismatic guy but he's young and he's fresh, he's hip. | ||
| So I actually think he does a very good job. | ||
| And the point is to say, if he's out there delivering the goods and doing good work, I actually don't care that he, like, took a girl's sandwich. | ||
| That's, like, what's in the article in Daily Beast. | ||
| The staff says that he took a pregnant woman's sandwich. | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| And he called the guy a pussy once. | ||
| Oh my, the horror. | ||
| And they say that he spends too much money on the dancing. | ||
| And he's mean to people. | ||
| It's like, well, sometimes the boss has to be mean to people. | ||
| I think that happens in any business. | ||
| If you work in any business anywhere, if you work in a restaurant, people are mean in restaurants. | ||
| People are mean at airports. | ||
| People are mean everywhere. | ||
| Sometimes you just have to raise your voice. | ||
| Sometimes you have to be mean. | ||
| And as far as the questionable investments, I mean, look, as long as they keep delivering the goods, who cares if there's a little bit of money diverted into something risky, experimental? | ||
| He did a big event and it was a little bit more glamorous than some of the others. | ||
| Okay, big whip. | ||
| They took a chance. | ||
| It's not my cup of tea, but whatever. | ||
| It's his prerogative. | ||
| He built it to be that way. | ||
| That's what he wants to do. | ||
| So, so anyway, so that's what they're saying, and I'll read you this report. | ||
| That's kind of the gist of it, but this is a special scoop from this guy Swig on Twitter, who I know. | ||
| Okay, somebody's texting me like a hundred times while I'm doing this show. | ||
| It's actually really distracting. | ||
| Anyway. | ||
| So this is from Swig. | ||
| It's a Twitter thread. | ||
| It says, quote, a whistleblower has contacted me about the news that James O'Keefe was put on leave and stripped of all authority at Project Veritas. | ||
| This is difficult for me to publish as a staunch supporter of PV for years and even a VIP at their events. | ||
| But what is happening to James O'Keefe is unconscionable. | ||
| And the attempted hostile takeover needs to be stood against. | ||
| by its supporters. | ||
| This will not stand. | ||
| James is a bit of a victim of poor corporate structure, as PV is two separate organizations, a 501c3, which had very few board members and the majority of the money, and a 501c4, which had significantly more board members but less money. | ||
| According to my source, the situation has allowed two alleged ringleaders of this attempt to push James out to have significant sway over the others, despite their reasons to be essentially meritless. | ||
| This isn't very well written here So I don't even really know what he's talking about But you understand the gist. | ||
| It says, board members and C-suite officers involved in this, according to my source, are as follows. | ||
| Matt Tiermand, John Garvey, George Skakel, Joseph Barton, Steve Allenbeck, Tom O'Hara, and Barry Hinckley. | ||
| The source says, quote, the board held a six and a half hour struggle session versus James where they subjected him to constant derision and insults at the insistence of Tierman, O'Hara and Hinckley. | ||
| About 10 employees aired their grievances about James, which essentially boiled down to him being a tough boss. | ||
| And at the end of the six-hour struggle session, Tierman and his fellow board member John Garvey put him on leave and stripped him of all authority. | ||
| It was literally a Stalin-esque kangaroo court. | ||
| The thing that is so very profound to me is that no one seems to grasp that John Garvey and the rest of the board did nothing to stop it. | ||
| Matt Tierman had it all scripted, all six hours. | ||
| This comes in the immediate aftermath of Project Veritas' greatest moment ever, exposing corruption at Pfizer, which my source thought was extremely suspicious timing. | ||
| So this guy thinks that Pfizer's behind it. | ||
| But anyway, I guess there's a big coup going on with the board members, and of course there's an ulterior motive there. | ||
| Those complaints are all just a big pretext. | ||
| They bring up the employees who say, oh, I don't, you know, he was mean to me once. | ||
| Or, oh, he's like such a chad, he told me to lose weight. | ||
| Or, we don't like the dancing. | ||
| We don't like his dance show about his life that he did at Turning Point. | ||
| And I have to say, I would stick up for James O'Keefe. | ||
| I'm rooting for him. | ||
| I hope he hangs in there. | ||
| But there's definitely something going on here. | ||
| And I don't know if it's... I mean, clearly there's something going on here. | ||
| But it seems like there's something happening across the board. | ||
| Where you have Steve Crowder attacking Shapiro. | ||
| You have now this going on with Praju Veritas and James O'Keefe. | ||
| Of course, you have drama with me, people like John Doyle and others coming out to attack me. | ||
| So it seems like there's just a lot of division on the right. | ||
| And I'm not usually that guy because it's not like I'm really friends with any of these parties. | ||
| Like, I'm not really buddies with Tiremond or O'Keefe. | ||
| I'm not friends with Crowder or Shapiro. | ||
| And I've never really cared for Doyle. | ||
| But it is very bizarre the timing that all this is going on. | ||
| During this weird situation where Trump is announced, a lot of scrutiny on him through the DOJ, we're all waiting on DeSantis and others to announce. | ||
| In other words, this is a very critical time which is going to determine the future of America. | ||
| Like, if Trump runs again, and if he runs like an outlaw and he wins, it's going to be nuts. | ||
| And so that's really the stakes here. | ||
| That's what we're all playing for, is that Trump led—according to the government—this is not me saying this—according to the government, Trump led an insurrection two years ago against the government, against democracy. | ||
| And now he's running for president again. | ||
| And the DOJ is at war with him. | ||
| They're talking about charging him. | ||
| The state of New York is talking about charging him, fining him millions. | ||
| They're at war with the business. | ||
| They're at war with him. | ||
| And, of course, now there's this interloper, Ron DeSantis, who is supposed to be set up as the alternative. | ||
| He's supposed to be the other candidate who's going to come in and replace this guy. | ||
| He's supposed to not be problematic and not have all that baggage. | ||
| And so, this is a very precarious and tense situation, where if Trump prevails in the primary, that means that he still has the mandate from the people. | ||
| That means this insurrectionist who, like, again, according to the government, tried to overthrow democracy two years ago, he still has the mandate of the opposition party in America. | ||
| And if he wins the presidency, all bets are off. | ||
| He's back in the White House. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| And when I say that's insane, I mean... | ||
| Imagine the gravity of this, that all the deep state permanent bureaucrats in DC, the people that actually run stuff, the media, all of them, they said for years, this guy went to war with democracy and like Biden gave that fascistic speech a year ago with the Red in Philadelphia and said, you know, the enemies of democracy are going to be hunted down and defeated. | ||
| It was like, whoa. | ||
| So imagine how this guy's viably gonna get the nomination, run for office, maybe win. | ||
| You gotta think how they're thinking. | ||
| They don't want this to happen. | ||
| That's why Wall Street's going with DeSantis. | ||
| So this is a time when they're fighting for our minds. | ||
| They're fighting for, I hate to say it, the heart and soul of the GOP again. | ||
| And it's in this period where, this strange time, where Ye jumps in and Trump announces and Trump gets humiliated. | ||
| And I'm thrown in the middle of it and it involves Infowars and Tucker because Ye was on Tucker. | ||
| And that kind of rocked the boat. | ||
| But now you've got this emergent feud between DeSantis and Trump and all the old Memor veterans are with the Tikva Fund and Hazoni and Teal. | ||
| And they're all in with DeSantis. | ||
| It's like, so there's a lot of very, there's a lot of big undercurrents going on with Trump, DeSantis, Ye and Biden and the federal government. | ||
| And at the same time that this very strange thing is playing out, very big movements happening behind the scenes, you've got these feuds breaking out all over the right wing, where the Daily Wire guys are obviously super DeSantis. | ||
| I don't know where Crowder stands. | ||
| The Tim Pool guys are pro-DeSantis. | ||
| I don't know where Project Veritas is. | ||
| I imagine they're more like MAGA, but I don't know. | ||
| They're certainly, they're against Pfizer, which is sus. | ||
| So there's a lot of strange stuff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, I'm just a guy. | ||
| I'm literally just a guy who's out here and he got all this money and it's like people are taking money from the Middle East and they're taking money from the Jews and they're in with Blaze and they're in with Fox and they're in with whatever and I'm just a guy. | ||
| I'm just a guy out here in LA | ||
| and doing my show on my laptop and I'm like man I'm not I don't know what's going on so so it's all very bizarre but that's that's what's going on with James O'Keefe I I don't really have a conclusion to draw here I don't know what this is about I will say though I stand with James O'Keefe again I really have no reason to but I just hate when people are taken out for a false pretext is that's what people have tried to do to me | ||
| The same thing happened to me a year ago, and I'll tell you this story. | ||
| One of these days I'll give you some more detail, but... | ||
| This happened in December 2021 when I was in Texas to do the Elijah Schaefer Show. | ||
| I got a rumor that my assistant and Simon, who was my other employee at the time, that they were going to give me an ultimatum that they were going to quit. | ||
| I heard I heard a rumor from somebody and I was out of town I wasn't even at my home base it's like I was out at sea I was like Napoleon out in Gaul you know so I I'm out I'm out in the field I'm out on my campaign in Texas and I get told this rumor | ||
| That within five days, my two employees, my assistant and Simon, are going to come to me with an ultimatum, and they're going to say, if you don't do this, then we're going to quit. | ||
| And I said, well, what is it that they want? | ||
| I'm like, I didn't even know they were unhappy. | ||
| I talked to them last week. | ||
| I thought everything was all good. | ||
| And he goes, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, they said something like you're too mean to them. | ||
| Like, if you don't treat them more nicely, then they're gonna quit. | ||
| And I said, what? | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| Like, I said, first of all, they deserve it. | ||
| They're totally incompetent. | ||
| I said, you saw what happened at this event. | ||
| It was, I've told that story a million times. | ||
| I said, but second of all, I said, it's not that bad. | ||
| I don't think I said anything out of line. | ||
| And so anyway, That was on, I think, like a Friday or a Saturday. | ||
| So I come back, I race back to Chicago on Sunday. | ||
| I was gonna stay another day, but I hear this situation is unfolding, so I race back to Chicago, I drive back by myself, I get home, and... | ||
| I get a call from one of the intern teams, and my assistant, who is running the intern program, the assistant goes to one of the teams and tells them about this plan that he's got. | ||
| And I said, OK, well, I was going to wait for them to talk to me. | ||
| I was going to wait for the game to come to me. | ||
| But I said, if they're going around and telling all these teams, if they're telling their subordinates, About this plan, I said, that's a mutiny. | ||
| I said, if you've got a problem with the way that I run things, if you have a problem with how you're being treated, you take that to me. | ||
| You don't tell your subordinates. | ||
| If my assistant is like the chief of staff over the intern program, and Simon is like his deputy, it's so out of line for him to go to the teams that he manages. | ||
| With his grievances. | ||
| That's totally inappropriate. | ||
| That's insubordination. | ||
| So I said this has got to stop now. | ||
| So I pick up the phone, and I say, hey, give me a call right now. | ||
| I text my assistant and Simon. | ||
| I get them on a group chat. | ||
| And I say, hey, you guys got to give me a call right now. | ||
| They said, oh, we can't. | ||
| We don't have time. | ||
| I said, OK. | ||
| Well, I said, I got a very quick message for you. | ||
| I said, so if you don't have time, I'll leave you a voice message, and you can let me know how you feel about it. | ||
| And they're like, OK, OK, OK. | ||
| We'll give you a call. | ||
| So they call me up. | ||
| And I said, hey, listen, I said, I've heard a lot of things over the past few days about what you guys have been up to. | ||
| I said, now it's my turn to tell you what I feel about what's been happening. | ||
| I said, so I don't want to hear any response. | ||
| I'm not really looking for a response. | ||
| I said, I'm going to tell you what I think and what's going to happen, and then you can talk. | ||
| I said, so I said, I've heard about your little plan. | ||
| I heard that you're going to give me an ultimatum and you're threatening to quit. | ||
| I said, and you know what? | ||
| I said, I'm really disappointed because if you had a problem with me, you should have just came to me and told me. | ||
| I said, but instead you go to the teams. | ||
| I said, and whether your grievances are warranted or not is really neither here nor there. | ||
| I said, we could have worked that out. | ||
| We could have talked about it. | ||
| Maybe you wanted to stay on, maybe not. | ||
| I said, and that's fine. | ||
| I said, but when you go to the other people, I said, that means you're not trustworthy. | ||
| I can't trust you. | ||
| And if I can't trust you, you can't be here. | ||
| I said, so, and I start getting into like, you know, you're fired. | ||
| And, uh, and the assistant goes, no, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stop, like, you got it all wrong, blah, blah, blah. | |
| And I said, I said, shut up. | ||
| You know, it's my turn. | ||
| I'm talking. | ||
| I said, I'm, I got to finish my point here. | ||
| He goes, no, you don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| You got to understand. | ||
| I said, look, if you don't let me finish, I'm going to hang up. | ||
| I'm just going to leave you a voice message. | ||
| So he keeps talking, I hang, I said, okay, so I hang up, and I leave a voice message, and I say, look, I said, I'm disappointed you didn't come to me with this. | ||
| I said because we could have hashed it out. | ||
| I said, but we're past the point of no return. | ||
| You're going to other people and talking about this. | ||
| It's not trustworthy. | ||
| I said, so I have to fire both of you. | ||
| I said, you're both fired. | ||
| I said, but it's not personal. | ||
| I have no animosity towards you. | ||
| I said, I'm going to pay you through the end of the month. | ||
| We'll do a smooth transition. | ||
| You can hand it over to whoever you pick as a successor. | ||
| I said I'll pay both of you through the end of December and I said we'll make it amicable. | ||
| I said I regret that it had to be this way. | ||
| I think you approached this in the entirely wrong way. | ||
| I said you know I've never heard of these grievances. | ||
| Apparently you have all these problems. | ||
| I said, but you should have came to me and said something. | ||
| I said, but you didn't. | ||
| I said, instead you go and talk to other people and that's the reason I have to fire you. | ||
| I said, so, you know, that's what's going to happen. | ||
| And so the assistant says, Oh, I'm so relieved. | ||
| I thought you were going to freak out. | ||
| He goes, I'm sorry. | ||
| It had to be this way, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| You know, we're going to have a smooth transition. | ||
| I have a successor picked out this. | ||
| He leaves me a nice message, which I was surprised at. | ||
| And Simon leaves me a message and says, you know, and this was, by the way, like a week after he asked me to be his son's godfather. | ||
| So. | ||
| Literally a week before, he said, will you be my newborn son's godfather? | ||
| And I said, don't I really? | ||
| Are you sure about that? | ||
| I'm like, I'm not even going to be there at his baptism. | ||
| You're in Florida. | ||
| I'm in Chicago. | ||
| Like, are you sure? | ||
| He goes, yes, like we can do it that way. | ||
| You know, you're, you're my hero, this and that. | ||
| That was like a week before. | ||
| So he leaves, and I have it all recorded, he leaves me a voice message and says, you know what, I always thought you were my friend, but you work me to the bone, you don't pay me enough, I do all this stuff for you, and you don't pay me enough, it's not enough money, blah blah blah, and you know, I don't want you to lead anything because you're such a bad person, and you're so mean to me, and all this. | ||
| And I sent him a message. | ||
| I said, wow. | ||
| I said, well, I wish you told me that before. | ||
| I said, I said, because every time I see you're smiling like such a stupid idiot, you got a big dumb grin on your face. | ||
| I said, I didn't know you were hiding all this animosity. | ||
| I said, I don't hate you. | ||
| I said, I, you know, I have no problem with you. | ||
| Apparently you have a problem with me. | ||
| I said, but I'll give you a piece of advice about money. | ||
| I said, you don't even deserve the income that you have. | ||
| You don't do any work. | ||
| The stuff that you do is terrible. | ||
| I said, the only reason I've been paying you for the last two years is because I felt bad for you. | ||
| I said, but I'm not a welfare office, you know. | ||
| I pay you as much as I can, and really I'm doing that because you're my friend. | ||
| I'm doing, you know, you should be really fired a long time ago, but I only paid you as much as I did because I was considerate of you. | ||
| I said, but that's too bad. | ||
| You know, I'm not paying you anything else. | ||
| You're just finished. | ||
| And anyway, so this gets on, when I say this is exactly like what happened, so this is a little insight into how that whole situation played out. | ||
| So this is like turning into like, I don't even know, it's not even about the news, but this is why I have sympathy for him. | ||
| So that goes on and the following few days, I think we had like a team meeting for the intern program on that Saturday. | ||
| So this was on like a Tuesday. | ||
| I want to say this was Monday or Tuesday. | ||
| So we have this big meeting on Saturday and I tell everybody like, hey, everybody's got to be there, important meeting. | ||
| And I call up the old assistant before the meeting and I say, Hey man, I said, so here's the plan. | ||
| I said, we're going to break the news to everybody that you're leaving. | ||
| I said, we don't have to get into the details. | ||
| I said, but, um, You know, you can say your farewell. | ||
| We'll make it look, well, I'll let you save face. | ||
| I said I'll introduce the new assistant and, you know, and I'll say some things about it. | ||
| And he goes, well, he goes, you know, you really should be asking yourself why your two top guys are quitting. | ||
| Like you need to know because like you're the problem. | ||
| And I go, well, yeah, I said, why don't you tell me? | ||
| And he goes, well, You're so negative, and you don't give enough positive reinforcement, and you're so mean to me." He goes, and everybody feels that way, but they just don't want to say it, and all this. | ||
| And that was the gist of it. | ||
| And I was like, wow. | ||
| And I actually, I was actually like moved. | ||
| I was actually almost, I got a little bit emotional. | ||
| I was like, well, I said, you know, I said, it's been really hard. | ||
| I said, I've had a really hard year, Joe. | ||
| I said, Like, look at what's happened to me! | ||
| I said I got my money stolen, I got put on the no-fly list, my grandma died, my mom got cancer, I lost DLive, I lost my payment processor, I made no money this year, I said we just got banned from another credit card processor, I said... | ||
| You know, Patrick betrayed us. | ||
| I'm like, this is like, this is a really hard year for me. | ||
| I said, so, you know, I try to go on the show and put on a happy face every night and keep the morale high. | ||
| I said, but if you, if you're saying that I'm negative, it's like, well, I am. | ||
| I'm like, I'm having a hard year. | ||
| I said, and as far as the positive reinforcement, I said, maybe you're right. | ||
| I said, but I said, "Things aren't really going so well." I said, "Maybe I could be a little bit more positive." I said, "But the work that you've been doing is just like not up to par." I said, "It's not defensible." I said, "So I'm gonna push back on that a little bit." I said, "But I said, I don't want..." And I told them, I said, "Look, if I'm the problem," I said, "I wanna get out of the way." | ||
| Not out of the way of the movement, I said, but I want to do the right thing. | ||
| I said, so if my attitude or my behavior is like, if that's causing a big problem, I need to know that so I can change. | ||
| I told them, I said, so I'm going to come into the meeting very humbly, I said, and I'm going to ask everybody what they think. | ||
| It's going to be a safe environment. | ||
| Everyone can tell me their problem with me. | ||
| I said, because if I have this bad attitude and that's holding everybody back, I said, I want to get better. | ||
| I said, but you got to tell me, because if you don't tell me, then I don't know. | ||
| And he goes, OK. | ||
| And he got emotional. | ||
| He's like, I love you, man. | ||
| You know, I hope we could still be friends and all this. | ||
| I said, yeah, we will be. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| So we go into the meeting. | ||
| And this is all like, all the teams are there. | ||
| And I start out the meeting and I'm like, hey guys, I'm like, I don't know if you know what's been going on over the last week. | ||
| I said, so maybe this sounds crazy, maybe not. | ||
| I said, I'm out of the loop. | ||
| I said but apparently like you all hate me and I'm not I didn't say it in like a gaslighting like toxic way like you hate me I said it like apparently people have a problem with me I said I've been talking to assistant griper I'm talking to other people I said and apparently a lot of people have an issue with me and how the program is going I said so | ||
| I want to go through and hear from everybody what you think about the program what you think about me I said don't be afraid don't be shy whatever you feel about me it's not gonna hurt my feelings I'm not gonna you know retaliate or fire you I said but just tell me I said because I want to do a good job apparently people are not happy tell me if I'm the problem And so, you know, Assistant Groyper starts and he says, you know, farewell, this and that. | ||
| And so we start going down the list and the first guy goes, hey, yeah, I don't really know what you're talking about. | ||
| He goes, but I haven't heard from Assistant Groyper in three months. | ||
| He goes, our team has had no assignments. | ||
| We have had no tasks. | ||
| I can't even keep any interns because we just have nothing to do. | ||
| I text him, he doesn't call back. | ||
| Assistant Groyper jumps in he's like well actually that's because blah blah blah and I said no no I said hang on a sec I said you'll get it you'll get your chance I said let everybody else go and then you can you can respond and the next guy jumps in yeah I don't know you're talking about but I haven't heard from assistant Groyper in three months we don't have any work the communications really bad we don't know what you want Nick assistant Groyper is not communicating it and then and literally | ||
| Every single person, except for one, which I'll get to, said the same thing. | ||
| They're like, yeah, like, the system's totally disorganized, this guy's not giving us any assignments, we can't hear back from him, blah blah blah. | ||
| And then at the end of it, Assistant Groiber was like, hey, well, I don't know what to say, everybody. | ||
| I guess I'm just sorry. | ||
| I, you know, it's really hard and blah blah blah. | ||
| I said, wow. | ||
| I said, well, I said, well, James Miller, that was his handle. | ||
| I'm like, well, James Miller, I said, that's a very different meeting than I thought we were going to have. | ||
| I said, I thought, I said, I went into this meeting thinking everybody hated me. | ||
| I said, but that was a very different, I said, that was really unexpected, huh? | ||
| I said, I bet I sounded so crazy at the beginning. | ||
| I was talking about how everybody had this problem with me. | ||
| And, um, and anyway. | ||
| So, and you know, there are a bunch of witnesses to this. | ||
| Everybody who's in the program can attest to this. | ||
| But that's how it went. | ||
| And so in the months later, and I don't think I've ever told this story before, but there was one guy, John Lezak. | ||
| John Lezak was the head of one of the teams. | ||
| John Lezak is the guy that got arrested for being at the Capitol. | ||
| It turned out that he was working with Assistant Gruyper on a crypto project. | ||
| And I knew this! | ||
| Like, I knew this! | ||
| Because we were in New York for VaxWatch the month before. | ||
| in like November 2021. | ||
| And that's where it all fell apart because I called John Lezak, who helped organize some of that stuff. | ||
| And I called James Miller and Simon and Jaden and a couple of other people. | ||
| And I really, I really let him have it. | ||
| I I called him up and I said, you know what? | ||
| I said, this week has been a disaster. | ||
| We are not prepared. | ||
| We didn't learn from Illinois. | ||
| It's just inexcusable. | ||
| Our donor lunch was a disaster. | ||
| Our rally at Staten Island was a joke. | ||
| I said, these are people just not doing their due diligence. | ||
| People are, it's just inexcusable. | ||
| I said, it feels like none of you really care about this because these are basic things. | ||
| Like, for example, We did a donor lunch in New York, because the idea was, you know, I was on the no-fly list at the time, so I'm like, I gotta drive to New York or take the train. | ||
| I'm like, we'll spend a week out there to get the most out of it, and we'll do all kinds of events. | ||
| We'll do some content, we'll do a couple protests, we'll do a donor event, etc. | ||
| We'll get the most out of it. | ||
| So we planned on doing a donor lunch on that Wednesday. | ||
| You know, the big protests were that Saturday, I think? | ||
| And the donor lunch was on that Wednesday. | ||
| And so, the tickets were like a thousand bucks. | ||
| And this was Assistant Groyper. | ||
| This is like his job, okay? | ||
| He's supposed to set this up. | ||
| So, we set up this donor lunch, we get like 12 people to buy tickets, and I'm thinking this is great! | ||
| I'm thinking everything's going great, we have this donor lunch, 12 people bought tickets, and we have a restaurant reserved and all this, and so we're walking out the door to go to the lunch on Wednesday morning, and we're going to the Capitol Grill in Long Island. | ||
| Now we're in Manhattan, okay? | ||
| And if you don't know anything about New York, this place is like a two-hour train ride from Manhattan. | ||
| It's like not even in the same place. | ||
| That's like saying you're in LA, but really you're in Orange County. | ||
| Or that's like saying you're in Chicago, but really you're in Milwaukee or Aurora. | ||
| It's not the same thing. | ||
| So we're walking out the door, and he's telling me, yeah, so we gotta take this train to this train, and then, you know, we gotta go here, and it's two hours away. | ||
| I'm like, okay? | ||
| I'm like, I thought we were doing it here. | ||
| He's like, no. | ||
| I said, well, how many people are confirmed? | ||
| How many people are going? | ||
| He's like, um, well, this one confirmed, and this one I haven't heard from, and this one this. | ||
| I said, Joe, that's not a head count. | ||
| I'm like, I said, I want a number. | ||
| I said, we're literally walking out the door. | ||
| The lunch is in two hours. | ||
| How many? | ||
| Give me a number. | ||
| He's like, well, I just gave you a number. | ||
| I said, no you didn't. | ||
| I said, you told me the status of like seven people. | ||
| I said, you told me we had 10 or 12 tickets sold. | ||
| I said, now you don't even know. | ||
| I said, we should know, shouldn't we? | ||
| He goes, yeah, I'm working on it. | ||
| So we get out there. | ||
| You know how many people showed up? | ||
| We rented an entire room. | ||
| $1,500 minimum. | ||
| $1,500 minimum to have the room at the Capitol Grill. | ||
| And it's a room that seats 12 people. | ||
| It's like a giant table. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know how many people showed up? | |
| Two. | ||
| Two people. | ||
| So it was me, my assistant, Jaden, and two people. | ||
| There were more of us than there were of them! | ||
| And it was in this big room, and we occupied like a fraction of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I was like seething. | |
| I was seething throughout the whole thing, because I'm like, this is just like humiliating. | ||
| And so after the thing, I'm like, hey, what the fuck happened in there? | ||
| You two people showed up? | ||
| And he goes, it's not my fault. | ||
| This is so hard. | ||
| I'm like, it's really not that hard. | ||
| You sell the tickets, you take the money, you tell them where it is, you book the restaurant, you go to the restaurant. | ||
| I'm like, this is like not rocket science here. | ||
| I'm like, some of these things are hard. | ||
| I'll grant you. | ||
| I said doing a stream, that's hard. | ||
| Doing a protest, that's hard. | ||
| You know, okay, fair enough. | ||
| A lot of moving parts. | ||
| Car, security, lights, camera, live stream, you know, whatever. | ||
| We're doing sign-up sheets. | ||
| Like, that, I'll give you that. | ||
| That's difficult. | ||
| But a dinner for 10 people or a lunch for 10 people, that's not hard. | ||
| So I said, what's going on, man? | ||
| And it turned out that he had sent them the location the night before. | ||
| And it was a lunch that was two hours outside the city, so a lot of people were like, oh, I can't make that tomorrow. | ||
| A lot of people woke up that morning and said, oh, it's in Long Island, I can't make it. | ||
| That's too far. | ||
| Just keep the money, I'm not gonna go. | ||
| And I told them, I'm like, do you know how bad that is? | ||
| Like, do you know what a bad look that is? | ||
| To have two donors show up in an empty room? | ||
| I'm like, what do you think the message is to them? | ||
| They're gonna show up and think nobody wants to be a part of this, and it's not true! | ||
| Because there were like 10, 12 people that bought tickets, but just didn't show up because it was in Long Island instead of Manhattan. | ||
| And they were told less than 12 hours before the dinner where it was, or before the lunch where it was. | ||
| I said, do you know what message it sends? | ||
| Like, here's a bunch of people that want to give us money. | ||
| These are like professional, high quality people that want to support us and want to meet me and so on, and the majority of them didn't get to do it because of your incompetence, and the people that did show up, well it looks like there's no action here. | ||
| I said, so that's just really not good. | ||
| That's really, that is a really bad failure. | ||
| I said, and it was an unforced error. | ||
| If you had just told them the location beforehand, Or, conversely, if you just booked a restaurant in the city, it would have been avoidable. | ||
| And he said, oh, I'll give you that one. | ||
| I said, no, no, you're not giving me fucking anything. | ||
| I'm like, you messed this up. | ||
| He goes, well, it wasn't my fault. | ||
| You can't blame me. | ||
| I said, no, you're going to accept full responsibility. | ||
| This was your job. | ||
| It was a disaster. | ||
| This was your fault. | ||
| You're a failure here. | ||
| I said, and it was, this was a catastrophe. | ||
| This is the lack of positive reinforcement. | ||
| So anyway, so after that, and there were a couple of other things like that too. | ||
| These were just like the basic mistakes being made because John Lezak and this guy and some others were all involved in like some crypto thing, and I knew it. | ||
| They had one foot in, one foot out. | ||
| Part of them was concerned with America First, but they were really occupied with these other projects because they wanted to make more money. | ||
| And so I called them up that Thursday and I said, in New York, John Lezak, the assistant, Simon, Jade, and the others. | ||
| And I said, listen, I said, you know what? | ||
| I said, that donor thing was a joke. | ||
| The protest in Staten Island was terrible. | ||
| I said, like, I want to cancel the rallies on Saturday. | ||
| I said, because I have no confidence That we're going to go out there and not embarrass ourselves. | ||
| I said, because we are not prepared. | ||
| None of you care about this. | ||
| I said, you're all invested in something else. | ||
| You're all, you're all got one foot in one foot out. | ||
| I said, and you know what? | ||
| If you don't care about the success of this, it will not succeed. | ||
| And if we're not going to succeed, then we're just wasting our time. | ||
| I said, you're just embarrassing me, because if my rally is a disaster, I look bad. | ||
| They don't look bad. | ||
| Nobody knows who they are. | ||
| I'm the responsible party as the leader. | ||
| That's why I'm the asshole. | ||
| That's why I get the glory. | ||
| It's because I'm the responsible party. | ||
| It's my neck. | ||
| The buck stops with me. | ||
| I said, so if this team doesn't care, then We're all going to fail. | ||
| I said, and if we're all going to fail, then we should all just do something else. | ||
| I said, you should all just quit and do something that you do care about. | ||
| Because if you're in this and you don't care, then we're just wasting our time. | ||
| Because it's not going to yield any success. | ||
| We're not going to make any money. | ||
| We're not going to do anything influential. | ||
| We're not going to move the ball forward. | ||
| I said, so you should all just quit. | ||
| I said, you should all just think about what's going on and just fucking quit. | ||
| I said, because I'm not going to go out on Saturday and embarrass myself. | ||
| Because we can't learn how to do basic things. | ||
| You know, we can't do basic things right. | ||
| And they said, no, we can't cancel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We came all the way out, blah, blah, blah. | |
| I said, all right. | ||
| I said, we won't cancel. | ||
| I said, but I'm taking charge now. | ||
| I said, I'm directing the traffic. | ||
| I said, tomorrow, you're gonna go and get the speakers. | ||
| You're gonna go to Best Buy or wherever, and you're gonna buy the portable speakers. | ||
| I'm gonna go and pick out the new outfit. | ||
| You're gonna go and you're gonna scout out the location. | ||
| You're gonna go and you're gonna do this. | ||
| I said, and if I'm satisfied with where we are on Friday, then we will do it. | ||
| I said, you're gonna get the black car that I'm gonna drive up in, and you know what? | ||
| It turned out to be a giant success. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| The fit went crazy. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The jacket and the glasses went fucking crazy. | ||
| They still use the pictures and they're awesome. | ||
| Me getting on the black car? | ||
| It went fucking crazy. | ||
| The speakers worked. | ||
| The crowd was there. | ||
| We went there in front of Gracie Mansion at night. | ||
| The footage was fire. | ||
| We had security. | ||
| Jumped out of the car. | ||
| We walked up. | ||
| We chanted. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| It was bomb. | ||
| Now, it turned out the footage was shit, because we still had a guy who doesn't know how to work a camera. | ||
| But all in all, we flipped it. | ||
| Now anyway, the reason that they were doing so badly in New York is because they were all working on something else. | ||
| And that's what it was really about. | ||
| This guy, John Lezak, all those guys that got convicted, or not convicted, but all those guys that just got pinched in the Capitol thing, Gabriel Chase, Paul Lovely, John Lezak, I think there was one other guy, those guys were all working with the assistant and Simon on some crypto scam during New York. | ||
| Like, that's why they weren't doing a good job, because they were all out taking calls and doing work for this other project. | ||
| And anyway, so then in December, they come to me and the assistant says, you're the problem, you're just too negative, you're the bad guy. | ||
| And me, being the sucker, I'm like, oh, I am the bad guy, because I'm actually a nice person. | ||
| And so when we're going through this call, I'm going back now to the call where all the different intern groups said, oh, no, you know, the assistant's not really telling us what to do. | ||
| We don't know what he's talking about. | ||
| We love you. | ||
| The one guy who sided with the assistant was John Lezak. | ||
| And he said, oh, actually, yeah, you're the problem. | ||
| And then he quit. | ||
| And he took, like, four of those guys, and they all quit, and they did their own, like, they did this project that didn't work out. | ||
| And then they wound up doing that, um, what is it, Legacy America? | ||
| Which was, like, a nothing subsidiary of APU. | ||
| And they were at the APU conference last year, in, like, May or June 22. | ||
| And it came out way after the fact, so long after all that drama happened, I found out... | ||
| That James Miller the assistant was going around trying actively trying to poach my interns to work for him and then he wasn't paying them he was going around and and soliciting people to say hey you know Nick Fuentes is the failure he's not the future this thing's going nowhere you got to come work for me on my crypto scam and | ||
| And you gotta go work for me and make NFTs for me because this thing is going nowhere. | ||
| So he was literally trying to create a mutiny. | ||
| He was literally trying to poach the talented people that work for America First, which is working for, you know, political activism, working for Christianity and talking about Jewish power and white identity and so on. | ||
| He was poaching them to go scam people for Bitcoin or something. | ||
| And telling them, oh, you know, we hate him. | ||
| And these people, of course, went and went right to me and said, hey, by the way. | ||
| So. | ||
| And then he had the gall to tell me to, like, get all emotional on the phone like a psychopath and say, oh, you're just so negative all the time and blah, blah, blah. | ||
| When in reality, it was like it was this long con to try to steal the human capital at AF. | ||
| So anyway, that's sort of like a long, that's like a totally long story. | ||
| Oh, and here was another thing. | ||
| He was going around to the donors of AF, and after I had fired him, and trying to get them to invest money in his crypto scam, he was going to donors and saying, | ||
| You know you should invest in my crypto thing blah blah blah and none of them would reply to him and then he texts me on Christmas or like a week after and says hey Nick did you say anything to the donors because I just wish them a Merry Christmas and they're not replying to me I mean I know I don't work for you but why are they being so mean and come to find out weeks later he was soliciting them for money | ||
| He was telling me that he was wishing them a Merry Christmas, and they wouldn't reply. | ||
| I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? | ||
| So, this is like some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, that it's like, man, you wouldn't believe the kind of stuff that goes on that I have to deal with, and then I have to sit here and get called, like, I have to sit here and get called all these bad names and stuff. | ||
| Here's the craziest thing. | ||
| Here's the absolute craziest thing. | ||
| So, When that mutiny was happening, when I was in Dallas on the Elijah Schaeffer Show, my assistant and Simon were in Florida with Jaden, and they were at a bar and they were all getting drunk. | ||
| And the assistant and Simon were just talking about money. | ||
| They were just saying, oh Nick doesn't pay us enough. | ||
| Now mind you, that was the same month that I got banned from Entropy. | ||
| So I literally made zero dollars for like three months. | ||
| We had no income. | ||
| So I kept paying them out of pocket, but I had no cash flow. | ||
| I was literally making zero dollars. | ||
| I was losing like probably eight or ten thousand dollars a month for three months. | ||
| Paying them. | ||
| But they were asking for a raise. | ||
| And I'm like, hey, in case you didn't notice, we're not making any money. | ||
| So I can't give you a raise. | ||
| Because we got banned from Entropy. | ||
| We got banned from our credit card processor for the merch. | ||
| We're making no money. | ||
| I'm like, like, you know, I could probably pay you for like a year without making money. | ||
| I said, but I definitely can't give you a raise. | ||
| And so, I'm in Dallas by myself, doing this show, making no money, holding down the fort, everything on the line, and my assistant and Simon and Jaden are all on, you know, I'm paying them, and they're on vacation in Florida, getting drunk at a bar, bitching about how I don't pay them enough. | ||
| And so, when I got back to Chicago, and Jaden got back to Chicago, Jaden told me all about this, and he said, yeah, they were only complaining about the money. | ||
| I stand with you 100%. | ||
| The only thing they were complaining about was how you didn't pay them enough. | ||
| They were saying you were mean, but it kept going back to how they're not getting paid enough money. | ||
| And that's why they got to do this crypto thing, because they're not making enough money. | ||
| And that's why it just blows me away that then in May, Jaden's gonna jump on the show with Simon and say, oh, it's about the no-fly list, and it's about the money, the frozen cash by the FBI, and it's about euphoria, and it's about all these other things. | ||
| It's like you were there! | ||
| You were there when it happened! | ||
| That's why you were there through December, January. | ||
| That's why you were at AFPAC taking pictures of Milo. | ||
| Like so the level of just like unscrupulousness and deception and just like people just shamelessness because they want to spite me. | ||
| I mean don't get me wrong. | ||
| I get people might not like me, I get people might not like my personality, but it's a fine line between you don't like somebody and then you just don't even pretend to have integrity to just spite somebody else. | ||
| And I couldn't talk about that at the time, I couldn't talk about that back in May. | ||
| And one of these days I'll get into what happened there too, because that's a whole other story. | ||
| But I couldn't talk about that back then because things were a little bit more delicate, but that is what was extremely outrageous is that Jaden was there in New York. | ||
| He was there when that call happened. | ||
| He was with them in Florida when they were bitching, and he knew they were involved in a crypto thing. | ||
| He was in their Discord server. | ||
| He was literally in their Discord server It was called Mint Money, while they were doing it, and he knew they were working 50% for AF and 50% doing this scam thing, and he knew that the only grievance they had was that they were unhappy with their paycheck, even though, again, the organization was making no money. | ||
| That's the same month, by the way, that I cut another $50,000 check to my lawyer to work and represent me against the FBI and the ongoing grand jury criminal investigation into me for my frozen assets. | ||
| You know? | ||
| So that's just like, it's just like crazy to me. | ||
| Like, think about that. | ||
| Think about the timeline there. | ||
| So December 2021, Simon flames out and like first of all he says he wants me to be the godfather of his son and then a week later decides I'm like the no good worst guy ever and he does this in a meeting with the assistant and Jaden and it's really just about the money they're all just salty about like they're not getting paid enough okay even though we made no cash for three months | ||
| Jayden comes back and says, yeah, I'm totally with you, I'm 100% with you, like, I can't believe they would say that, you know, and it was all about the money for them, that was the only problem they had with you. | ||
| In the same month, while I'm, again, while I'm paying people out of pocket, while I even paid my assistant through the month of December, I cut a $50,000 check out of pocket to my lawyer To represent me. | ||
| This is before the subpoena. | ||
| The subpoena happened in January 22. | ||
| I cut a check in cash for $50,000 in December 21 to my lawyer to represent me specifically for the frozen assets for the ongoing grand jury investigation into the frozen funds. | ||
| So fast forward then to May. | ||
| And you got Jaden going out there with Simon saying, oh, it's actually about how his money, he was grifting off of the fact that his money got unfrozen and blah blah blah. | ||
| It's like, bitch, you were there. | ||
| You knew it wasn't about that. | ||
| And also, I don't even know if he knew I cut a check to my lawyer for $50,000 out of pocket. | ||
| I didn't go and put out a give-send-go. | ||
| I didn't go and put out a GoFundMe and say, shake the pan and say I need money. | ||
| You know, not to diss people that do that. | ||
| Some people aren't rich like me. | ||
| To say that I was like, that I was ever grifting off of that, I didn't even tell people when the money was stolen in the first place! | ||
| So, so that's why, even though I don't know James O'Keefe, even though, like, he's not, like, an ally of mine, I will always stand with somebody who is being attacked, because this kind of thing happens all the time. | ||
| And you wouldn't believe it. | ||
| And people like me, and people like James O'Keefe, I'm sure, are in a position where you can't fight back, because you just get tied up with all this corporate shit, and when you're the target, you are more restrained than the people attacking you. | ||
| Like me, back in 2021, I was under a lot more pressure and a lot more scrutiny than I am now. | ||
| Well, maybe that's not the case, actually. | ||
| But I certainly am now and was then under more scrutiny than any of the people that ever attacked me. | ||
| Like, look at what happened to Patrick Casey. | ||
| Patrick Casey was the leader of Identity Europa. | ||
| He was at Charlottesville. | ||
| He was in the Charlottesville lawsuit. | ||
| He was known as Reinhardt Wolf. | ||
| He worked for Red Ice. | ||
| He was unemployable. | ||
| Couldn't get any action anywhere. | ||
| The SPLC wrote about all his activities. | ||
| Then he threw me under the bus in February 2021, and all his problems went away. | ||
| And now he can go work for Chronicle Magazine, and now he gets amplified by, what's his name, from Tucker. | ||
| What's that Mexican guy's name? | ||
| Pablo, whatever. | ||
| Now look at how he gets signal boosted by that Peter Thiel, Darren Beatty click. | ||
| Isn't that funny? | ||
| He was the leader of Identity Europa. | ||
| If you go to his Wikipedia page, they say that's a neo-Nazi group. | ||
| He was Reinhard Wolf with Red Ice. | ||
| He regularly hung out with Richard Spencer and deployed his guys to defend his campus speeches. | ||
| He threw me under the bus in February 2021, and ever since then, it's almost like the SPLC just doesn't even care about him. | ||
| And neither does the FBI, and neither do the defendants in the Charlottesville, or the, uh... What would you call them? | ||
| Not the defendants, but the other people. | ||
| Claimants in the Charlottesville lawsuit. | ||
| That's so weird how that happened. | ||
| And so it's like, once you decide to try to burn the house down on your way out, it's like, people like me get left in this situation where it's like, hey, I'm still under a grand jury investigation. | ||
| I still run a non-profit. | ||
| I'm still subpoenaed by Congress. | ||
| I'm still in all these situations. | ||
| When people decide they're going to throw me under the bus and then conveniently stop being a dissident, it's like, they can go and just say whatever they like and say, oh, Nick watched a gay show, oh, you know, Nick is a mean guy behind the scenes. | ||
| And when all that unfolds, like what's happening to James O'Keefe, you can't actually just go out and say, oh, here's all the receipts, here's everything that's happening, because you're still restrained by being the guy in the arena and everything that comes with that. | ||
| The legal, the regulatory, law enforcement, the publicity game, you know, all that stuff. | ||
| You gotta put on a happy face and say, oh, you know, I'm above all of it. | ||
| That's why this kind of stuff really gets to me on a deep level, because it's like, that's bullshit. | ||
| James O'Keefe, you know, I don't even really know the guy, I don't even really love that guy that much, but for him to get ousted from his organization because people are gonna say, oh, he was like, mean? | ||
| It's just bullshit. | ||
| And it's not right, and he built that organization, and that's like his life, and it's being sabotaged by leeches so they can go in and loot the 501c3, or whatever. | ||
| And I've seen it happen before. | ||
| It happens all the time, and it's disgraceful, and I hate it, and I hate liars. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| So that's not even, by the way, that's not even the full story. | ||
| That's just like part of it. | ||
| That's just like another part of the story that I've, I don't think I've ever told that story on the show. | ||
| But, um, You know, I'm clearly under attack, so I just don't even give a shit anymore. | ||
| I'm clearly, like, under attack. | ||
| We heard this rumor about Tucker and some other things, and it's like, you know what? | ||
| It's up then, you know what? | ||
| Like, that's how it's gonna be, then that's how it's gonna be, and I don't think anybody's gonna like that. | ||
| You know, like, John Doyle? | ||
| I don't think you're gonna like that, okay? | ||
| Cause, you know, There was a guy that lived with me for a year, and he went out there and aired all the dirty laundry and it was like, what, I watched Euphoria? | ||
| Well, gee, what would happen if somebody who was really close to you defected? | ||
| What would he have to say about you, John Doyle? | ||
| What would he have to say about you? | ||
| Because that's a question you should be asking yourself when you go and run your mouth like a punk-ass bitch. | ||
| Because, you know, for all my flaws, And for all my eccentricities, I'm pretty clean. | ||
| Like, you know, there was a guy that literally lived with me for a year, and the worst he had to say was like, oh, he watched Euphoria, he took like a two-hour shower, blah blah blah. | ||
| And it's like, gee, I wonder if there was somebody who was close to you who sent screenshots and things like that. | ||
| Who knew all about your situation. | ||
| I wonder what he would have to say about you. | ||
| I really hope it wouldn't be too damaging. | ||
| I wonder if it's worse than what people had to say about me. | ||
| Cause man, I'm a guy that has nothing left to lose. | ||
| I mean, I'm a guy that got blamed for Ye saying he loves Hitler, when in reality he just loves Hitler. | ||
| And I showed up, you know, way after he started loving Hitler. | ||
| I'm getting blamed for that by Marjorie Taylor Greene, and by the Trump campaign, and by the RNC. | ||
| I'm getting blamed for that. | ||
| Like the oneness of the worst anti-semitic incident in a hundred years is being unfairly placed at my feet? | ||
| Man, so it's almost like it's a bad idea to attack somebody with nothing left to lose, you know? | ||
| It's almost like when I'm surrounded, then they have nowhere left to go. | ||
| So... | ||
| It's just a question. | ||
| I don't know, but I don't know though, because I'm not that kind of guy. | ||
| Because I'm not that kind of guy. | ||
| But it's just a good question to ask. | ||
| What's the worst? | ||
| Oh, you know, Euphoria. | ||
| Hey listen, it's a well-made show, okay? | ||
| I never, I think I talked about it on my show. | ||
| That wasn't even a secret. | ||
| Like I was hiding that. | ||
| Yeah, we watch Euphoria, bitch. | ||
| It's a good, well, it's not a good show, but you know, it's well-made. | ||
| But I wonder if you know what it means to laugh as tears go by. | ||

|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um, all right. | |
| Let's read our Super Chats. | ||
| Let's see what we got. | ||
| Gotta stay awake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| All right, let's take a look at our Super Chats. | ||
| So anyways, that's why I relate to James O'Keefe. | ||
| He's our guy. | ||
| but anyway yeah that's like that's the deep lore on all the drama that happened last year you know there's more to the story even than that it's like There's a lot more, but that's just a little taste. | ||
| That's like, and you know, that's the stuff that you can't talk about in the heat of the moment, because we had to put on AFFPAC 3. | ||
| I couldn't go out and just like say all this, because that, you know, and then I lost my assistant and my, like, production guy two months before AFFPAC, and they had done no preparation for it. | ||
| So I was literally, had nobody, It was just me. | ||
| I mean, I had all the interns, obviously, but, like, my paid guys who, like, had organized the whole thing. | ||
| And I had never done a conference. | ||
| You know, Patrick planned AFPAC 1. | ||
| Assistant Kruiper did AFPAC 2. | ||
| I did AFPAC 3. | ||
| So I was just left with my dick in my hands. | ||
| They had done nothing, which was horrible. | ||
| They had done no preparation. | ||
| So, middle of December, I had, realistically, like six weeks to put this thing together. | ||
| And, uh, but you know what? | ||
| But I just did it! | ||
| It was like, you know, I had a horrible year, a lot of crap, and then, then that was thrown in my lap. | ||
| Then this betrayal, mutiny. | ||
| And right before our big conference, and it was kind of like a make-or-break deal, so what did I do? | ||
| I grabbed the wheel. | ||
| What did I do? | ||
| I leaned in. | ||
| I grabbed the wheel. | ||
| I said, get out of the way. | ||
| Grabbed the wheel. | ||
| And I put on the biggest fucking conference we ever did. | ||
| We're crazy production, we brought in ton of money, brought in over a thousand people at a massive convention center, went, you know, the speeches were a little too long, but besides that it was perfectly smooth, great viewership, so sometimes you gotta just grab the wheel and go, you know? | ||
| But alright, let's take a look at the Super Chats. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| I'll do it myself. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| That was some Darth Vader shit. | ||
| That was some serious Darth Vader, like, Jack Bauer. | ||
| Shoot me, Chloe! | ||
| You know, that was some serious James Bond shit. | ||
| Anyway, that was like some supervillains. | ||
| You know how, like, when all the supervillains henchmen get killed and then the supervillain gets in, he's like, I'll finish them! | ||
| I'll finish them myself! | ||
| That's like me! | ||
| Get out of the way, you know? | ||
| That's like Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, you know? | ||
| All right, but let's see. | ||
| Let's see, what do we got here? | ||
| Team me in the club, I'm acting real nice. | ||
| and And I'm not your bra! | ||
| That's so fire. | ||
| I love that sound. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um... | |
| No, I mean, look. | ||
| I like Kai. | ||
| is the war on the Mormons sanctioned when Kai leaves. | ||
| Beardson is called for the Inquisition. | ||
| No, I mean, look, I like Kai. | ||
| I'm not Mormon, but I don't feel we need to attack the Mormons, okay? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm a big believer in, for now, like a big tent, Christianity. | ||
| I know there are Protestants who watch the show. | ||
| I know there are Mormons. | ||
| I am a Catholic. | ||
| I think that Catholicism is the real Christianity. | ||
| I do not subscribe. | ||
| I am really not sympathetic to other kinds of Christianity. | ||
| But I think that if you believe in Jesus, if you believe that Jesus is God, that's enough for you to be in the coalition. | ||
| As long as you worship Jesus, as long as you believe the Bible is inspired revelation, as long as you believe in baptism and the forgiveness of sins, as long as you believe the basics, then we're good. | ||
| And broadly right-wing and everything else, but You know, as far as building a political coalition, I think we need to welcome all Christians. | ||
| Now, I am a Catholic, so I encourage everybody to be Catholic. | ||
| This is not any kind of ecumen... what is it? |
