unidentified		Thank you.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		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.
		Our featured story tonight is about Stuart Rhodes, the Oathkeeper Leader, who today was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role on January 6th.
		And we'll talk about the charges.
		This is the most severe sentence that has been handed out by the Department of Justice since the January 6th investigation began over two years ago.
		20 years!
		And at first I thought it was a little extreme because that's a long time.
		But then I read the criminal complaint against him and I read the news And I'm not gonna say like he deserves it or anything, but I am gonna say it was really stupid what he was doing.
		Because everybody knows my story, or if you've been watching my show for the last couple years, maybe you're familiar with my experience at the Capitol.
		Me, I went there for the Trump rally at the White House on the morning of the 6th, And that's all I planned to do.
		I showed up wearing a suit and a long coat.
		I had dinner plans.
		That was it.
		I mean, it was over.
		I wasn't even gonna go because part of me thought there wasn't even a reason to.
		I thought, this is it.
		Game over.
		Biden's basically the president.
		But Stuart Rhodes was there.
		They had stockpiled guns in hotel rooms leading up to January 6th.
		And they were wearing armor, and they were coordinating with walkie-talkies, and there were Oath Keepers that breached the building.
		And they're on a walkie-talkie apparently with Stuart Rhodes, who is off-site in DC.
		Which, I didn't know about any of that until Stuart Rhodes was arrested about a year ago.
		Stuart Rhodes was arrested and charged a year after the fact in late 2021, I think December 2021.
		And it wasn't until that complaint against him was filed, I think, that many of the people that were present that day even learned the extent of what was being coordinated by those Oath Keepers and even some of the Proud Boys.
		And my My explanation of the Capitol for like an entire year was that nobody knew what was going on nobody was trying to take over the building and then we find out a year later well actually not everybody was like that so we'll get into that we'll talk about the details of that case and like I said I don't think it necessarily makes the sentence justified I think it's still very excessive
		But it is very different than almost everybody else that was charged because most of the people that got charged got charged for trespassing.
		This guy brought a militia and a stockpile of guns to the capital city and was coordinating on a walkie-talkie.
		That's pretty bad.
		I mean that's not good.
		So we'll get into that.
		We'll also talk tonight about the debt ceiling, finally.
		And it looks like the debt ceiling negotiations are winding down just as I predicted.
		I said this last, or not last week, I think I said this on Monday.
		We're supposed to cover this on Monday.
		And it's so funny.
		I had a lot of people texting me freaking out.
		Friends of mine.
		I was actually talking to this guy from Canada who was asking me about the debt ceiling.
		And people are panicking about this, and I get it.
		It's by design.
		But people have been asking me all week, so what do you make of the debt ceiling?
		Is America going to default?
		Is it going to crash the global economy?
		And as I said on Monday, no, nothing ever happens.
		I mean, that's first of all, no, nothing ever happens.
		Second of all, nobody is going to let this economy crash.
		Not the President, not the Speaker of the House.
		This is all bluster.
		And by the way, these negotiations don't even really matter.
		They don't even matter at all.
		They raise the debt ceiling every time.
		They weren't gonna not raise the debt ceiling.
		And there's this back and forth about spending cuts.
		You know what the deal they're going to make is?
		The military is going to be totally unrestrained by any kind of spending cuts.
		And by the way, the same will be true of entitlements.
		So how much of the spending is even going to be restricted?
		Do you know how much spending even can be restricted?
	If you can't restrict the mandatory spending, which is your SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, If you can't restrain the military spending...
	And of course you don't have a choice paying interest on the debt.
	You're talking about a fraction of a fraction of the federal budget.
	It is completely immaterial.
	Spending caps.
	Give me a break.
	They were never going to not raise the debt ceiling and any commitment to cutting spending is a joke.
	So we'll get into that.
	We'll talk about this preliminary deal.
	But really to me The debt ceiling, like every other one of these kinds of bills, it's all just a big show.
	Nothing really changes here.
	And the negotiations regarding the debt ceiling, they don't even approach addressing the real problem in the economy, which we've talked about a lot on this show over the last year, which is that this economy doesn't make anything.
	And this is every one of these problems that we see is downstream from that problem.
	Debt ceiling, Silicon Valley Bank, the abandonment of the dollar.
	The only thing this economy exports anymore is debt.
	That's it.
	We don't make anything.
	We're not exporting manufactured goods.
	We're not exporting raw materials.
	We're not exporting any, increasingly, even any kind of great entertainment products or education or scientific discoveries.
	The only thing that we seem to export anymore is debt that we print that is backed by nothing.
	There's no value.
	So anyway, we'll get into all that.
	Should be a pretty good show.
	Glad to be back with you here tonight.

unidentified		I think that's all my big announcements.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		I think that's everything.
		So we could dive into the show.
		I'm trying to think.
unidentified		Didn't something... Burp.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Didn't something happen today?
unidentified		I feel like I thought something happened.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Maybe I'm wrong.
		Oh yeah.
		Joe Biden's plan for anti-Semitism.
		Did you see that?
		Joe Biden produced a plan.
		A 100-point plan To combat anti-Semitism.
		And the funniest thing about that is that is at least 30% about, like, just me as an individual.
		Isn't that crazy?
		Because when you sit down and think about all the anti-Semitism, so-called, so-called, not real, so-called, when you think about all the so-called anti-Semitism over the last, like, two years since Biden got into office, I alone am responsible for like a third of A.I.
		in the whole country.
		I'm not an anti-Semite, okay?
		I love everybody.
		I love everybody.
		I'm a Christian.
		So I love everyone.
		Now, I think it's very unlikely that many people are going to be saved.
		And many people are sinners, and blasphemers, and apostates, and I don't like that.
		But, Ultimately, what it means to love somebody is to will for them to achieve what is best for them.
		It's to will somebody towards their own good, which is what I do.
		I want everyone to be saved and I pray for the conversion of everybody and that they do the right thing.
		Okay, now that ass saving part is over.
		I am singularly responsible for most of what they're talking about.
		I mean, what else do they even talk about?
		I mean, It was really the yay Mar-a-Lago dinner, which I was there for and a big part of.
		And other than that, it's like this show, and then that's it.
		I mean, you could talk about maybe those guys down in Florida, Handsome Truth and them, although I think they're maybe feds, they're a little suspect to me.
		Other than that though, what else really is there?
		It's like there's this remnant of the alt-right, which is I think very minimal and irrelevant, and then it's just like me, so...
		Now maybe that's a little egotistical or something, I don't know.
		Oh, and black people in New York City.
		Black people in New York City there, it's like, me and black people in New York City and yay, we're kind of like the big three of anti-Semitism in America.
		If you see any story about anti- well, it's actually, it's a big four.
		If you see a headline about anti-Semitism in America, The odds are pretty even that it would be one of the following four.
		Me, Kanye West, black people in New York City, Jews themselves.
		Those are your four options.
		If you see an anti-Semitic incident, there's like a 25% chance it's actually a Jewish person that did it themselves.
		It's a Jewish person drawing a swastika at a Jewish cemetery to create this effect.
		Or it's gonna be a black person attacking a Hasidic Jew in New York.
		In the last year it's gonna be yay, and then every other time it's gonna be me.
		Okay, then every other time it's gonna be me, or somebody that I know, or that follows me.
unidentified		Now, joking, that's just jokes, that's just jokes.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Listen, we're here to talk about Jewish power.
		I don't think that's actually anti-Semitic.
		I don't think it's hateful.
		It's just facts.
		I mean, it's just objectively true.
		We know this.
		Okay?
		But I do find it a little bit funny they released this big report.
		Now here's another thing to think about.
		Isn't it crazy that over the last 5,000 years every country, like every place in the world that has had a significant Jewish minority has had a significant Jewish minority They all turned against them for the same reasons every single time?
		Isn't that kind of weird?
		Don't people think about that?
		That like from Spain to France to England to Russia to Iran to Egypt to Nicaragua Okay, like, so every corner of the globe that has had a significant Jewish minority has eventually become extremely anti-Semitic and either segregated them, forcibly converted them, removed them,
		And they always give exactly the same reasons.
		Like Henry Ford has the same reasons as David Duke, has the same reasons as the Ayatollah of Iran, has the same reason as Osama Bin Laden, has the same reason as King Edward in the 13th century, has the same reason as Spain in the late 15th century, has the same reason as Russia, has the same reason as Dostoevsky, has...
		And they all come up with the same reason.
		It's just weird.
		That's all I'm saying.
		It's just a little bit of a coincidence, I guess.
		I'm sure it's because they're doing that for no reason at all.
		They just blame it on the same group for no reason.
		The reasons are totally arbitrary.
		Pay no attention to the reasons these countries kick these people out.
		That's all arbitrary!
		They're only doing it for no reason, and any reason they give is just an irrational way to justify it.
		And don't even listen to it, because that is anti-Semitic.
		Okay.
		Okay.
		I believe you.
		Anyway, so 100 point plan to combat anti-semitism.
		Well, good luck with that, because the number one cause of anti-semitism is Jewish behavior.
		We've known that forever.
		We've known that since there have been Jewish people in the world, and don't get me wrong, my vision of society is that everybody is going to be equal and everything, but look, we got to have Christians running the country.
		That's it.
unidentified		That's it.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		These people don't believe in Jesus.
		They can't run anything.
		That's just my opinion.
		It's also the truth.
		This is a Christian universe.
		It's a Christian country.
		We should have Christians that are ultimately responsible and have the privilege of power, not people that hate Jesus.
		Common sense.
		Everyone knows that.
		Alright, but we're going to move on.
		I want to get into the news.
		This topic is going to get me in trouble.
		Don't you think one of these days I'm going to get in some trouble for talking like that?
		Hopefully no one will notice.
		Anyway, I was just thinking about that today.
		I really, I feel like James Bond in that last James Bond movie... I don't want to spoil it.
		If you haven't seen it yet, turn this off.
		But in the last James Bond movie, he gets infected by nanobots that if he hugs his wife and daughter, they'll kill them.
		He's got nanobots in his bloodstream, so if he comes into contact with his kid or his wife, the nanobots will kill his family.
		So he kills himself.
		He lets himself be killed on the island by the missiles so that his wife and daughter will be safe from him.
		That's how I feel.
		Me saying this out loud is like being infected by nanobots, and it's like anyone I know, they die.
		It's like anyone I know, it's like they become a Nick Fuentes acolyte.
		That's the latest.
		You see that ridiculous stunt that Wooza and Smiley pulled the other day?
		Which, knucklehead, and by the way, both of them are traitors in a certain sense.
		Yet I'm still held responsible.
		Then they go on the headline and say, Acolyte, Acolyte.
		And it's like, for better or for worse, like either everyone I know is gonna be used to attack me, or I'll be used to attack everyone I know.
		But I'm like this nanobot guy.
		I didn't even get vaccinated, but I've got this nanobot thing.
		We're an acolyte of mine.
		I shake someone's hand and they become an acolyte.
		And they die by ADL cancellation.
		Anyway.
		That's just how I feel lately.
		But I want to move on.
		I want to get into our... I want to get into our show.
		I want to get into our Super Chats.
		I'm sorry, our news, not our Super Chats.
		That's later.
		So our first story is about the debt ceiling and I was supposed to cover this actually on Monday but I didn't really feel like it because I don't think it's that important.
		And like I said at the top of the show, people have been asking me, because this has now been going on actually since March, that the Republican-controlled House
		has been negotiating with the President Joe Biden about raising the debt ceiling and for those that don't know the debt ceiling goes back a long way and essentially the debt ceiling is a it's a tool that was imposed that allowed Congress to have some control Over the borrowing of the Treasury Department.
		Because the way that it was before, and this is my understanding, is that the Treasury Department could really just borrow as much money as they wanted.
		And the problem with this is that according to Article 1 of the Constitution, it's the House of Representatives that has the power of the purse.
		The purse strings.
		Meaning that all appropriations bills must originate in the House.
		Not just Congress, but specifically in the House of Representatives.
		And so the debt ceiling was imposed as a way that Congress would be able to control the borrowing of the United States government.
		And so it's up to Congress to set a limit for how much money can be borrowed.
		Now we have something like 30 trillion dollars in debt at this point.
		And in order for the Treasury Department to borrow any more money to continue paying The government's obligations because of course the the government has to spend a lot of money and We finance all of our spending with deficit with with debt We don't we don't make enough money in tax revenue Not even close
		to pay our obligations so we just have this perpetual constant borrowing with no end in sight and it's always going up and so we're reaching another debt ceiling you know they raise it every so many years And then we always reach it because we're always borrowing more money and we never pay any of it back.
		We never run a surplus, so the debt just keeps stacking.
		And every so often we have to have Congress pass a bill that will allow the government to borrow more money.
		And it always, like these other appropriations bills, becomes a battle.
		There's other situations like this like for example the Omnibus Spending Bill.
		We've gone over quite a few of those.
		National Defense Authorization Act.
		These kinds of appropriations measures which are necessary for the maintenance of the government.
		We've seen like government shutdowns when these things don't get passed as an example.
		They always become a showdown because it's a chance for the House to exert leverage over the President.
	And so debt ceiling is like those other ones.
	Debt ceiling is like the Omnibus Bill, which gives the government a budget and gives appropriations for the government.
	Then you've got the National Defense Authorization Act, which funds key parts of the military.
	And we've seen all those in the last nine months.
	So here we were again.
	We've been negotiating on this over the last few months.
	I think in March they passed a bill that would temporarily raise the debt ceiling and now we're facing another deadline here according to the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
	On June 1st the federal government is going to run out of money and if they're unable to borrow it because they've come up against the debt ceiling they will no longer be able to pay their obligations.
	And so this is where all kinds of fear-mongering starts.
	And they start to say that, well, if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling and the federal government can't borrow another dollar, then that means that they won't have any cash to pay Social Security benefits, to pay for Medicare, to pay interest on the debt.
	Now, it's a particularly big problem if the government doesn't have the cash to pay interest on the debt.
	Because, of course, if you don't pay interest on your debt, you default on the debt.
	And if the United States defaults on the debt, then the credit agencies are going to lower the rating of American debt.
	And this has happened before in American history.
	If they say that American debt is less reliable, if it's a less trustworthy investment, then it's going to cost the United States more to borrow money.
	And this is going to send shockwaves throughout the entire economy if we're going to have to pay a higher interest rate to borrow.
	Because, of course, essentially the whole world runs on American debt.
	So this is the fear-mongering.
	They say if we don't pass A bill that raises the debt ceiling by June 1st.
	We're going to default on our debt.
	If we default on our debt, we're going to lose 8 million jobs.
	The economy is going to contract by 4%.
	It's going to cause a global recession.
	Like, this is the rhetoric.
	The stock market is going to lose 20% of its value.
	Literally, this is what I was going to say on Monday from CNN.
	Moody Analytics says no corner of the global economy will be spared.
	If a government default lasts a long time, 7.8 million American jobs will vanish, borrowing rates will jump, the unemployment rate would soar to 8%, and a stock market plunge would erase $10 trillion in household wealth.
	That's why we have to pass a deal by June 1st.
	Now we didn't cover this on Monday because, as I said on Monday, it literally doesn't matter.
	None of this matters.
	And none of that was ever going to happen.
	And people have been asking me all week privately, because people privately are panicking.
	They're saying, what should we do?
	Should we pull our money out of the stock market?
	And I've been saying no, because nobody in the White House, nobody in the House is going to allow the economy to contract.
	They're not going to allow the government to not pay its bills.
	And that's fundamentally because Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, They are all beneficiaries of the system.
	Even though something like that may ultimately be the right thing to do, you know, probably in some cases it might make sense to let the government shut down.
	I've been a proponent of that sort of thinking for a long time.
	Don't vote for Republicans.
	Don't pay your taxes.
	Don't raise the debt ceiling.
	Like, part of reforming the country is that we need to let the country fail a little bit.
	We actually need to let the system fail sometimes.
	You need to let the system fail because then you could get a change in leadership.
	Then you can get a change in how things work.
	But if we just keep patching things up like we have for a long time, then we're only deferring the inevitable.
	This happened in 2008.
	After the housing bust in 2006, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to nearly 0% and kept them there until this year.
	And so what is the consequence?
	Over the last 14 years we've had amazing economic growth and the stock market's gone up and everything.
	But structurally, the economy is still very weak.
	And it's addicted to easy credit.
	And the moment that you start restricting the availability of credit by raising the interest rate, like we have over the last year, everything starts to blow up.
	Silicon Valley Bank explodes.
	First Republic Bank explodes.
	The second, third, and fourth biggest bank failures in American history have all happened in the last three months.
	And it's the first time we've raised interest rates over a 20-year, a nearly 20-year period.
	So we just deferred the inevitable.
	And now we're in a situation where we've got low growth, high inflation, high interest rates, and so things are going to be bad economically for a long time.
	So all those things that we thought we were doing when we thought we were out of the woods after 2008, we really weren't.
	And structurally, many of the problems have just gotten worse since then.
	2008 was a problem.
	What caused 2008, without getting extremely technical, it was the housing bubble.
	And the fact that there was so much debt that was given out, the fact that so much money was given out to buy homes, and then those mortgages that were given out were packaged up, they were securitized, into what were called mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations.
	These bad mortgages were packaged up and they were sold and given a great credit rating to all kinds of financial funds and pension funds.
	And once all these mortgages went bad, it blew up the whole economy.
	It was a bubble.
	Now we've just got a bubble in everything.
	It's not just housing.
	Now there's bubbles everywhere.
	In the same way, bubbles that were created by extremely cheap and available credit, and then all that credit being bundled up, there's so much securitization of credit like that, and we got into that a little bit with Silicon Valley Bank.
	And anyway, The point is, sometimes you gotta let things actually fail so that you can change the system.
	Nobody wants things to fail.
	Politicians don't want things to fail because then it imperils them in their next election.
	So, Kevin McCarthy's got a two-year timetable.
	Because that's the length of a term in the House of Representatives.
	Joe Biden has a four-year timetable.
	Any given senator has a six-year timetable.
	The leadership in the Senate has a two-year timetable because every two years, 33% of the Senate is up for grabs.
	So when you have a two or a four-year time horizon, that you're making extremely long-term decisions based on, it results in very bad short-term thinking.
	Where instead of going through a period of extreme pain, a period of reform where you're not going to know the answers, where there's going to be uncertainty and layoffs and big problems, this system doesn't really this system doesn't really lend itself to doing what's necessary all the time.
	And anyway, so that's why this was this was never going to be an issue.
	Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden are not gonna let The debt ceiling be breached and they're not going to let the debt ceiling be breached and have the government be without money because they're both concerned about winning the election.
	You know what they're both doing when this is going on?
	Both of them are looking at polling.
	Both of them are looking at polling firms that are telling them what people think today about whose fault it is if we're going to default on the debt.
	Isn't that crazy to think about?
	That our GDP, what is our GDP at this point?
	I think it's $25-$30 trillion.
	The debt is higher than the GDP.
	We've got a $30 trillion debt.
	$25-$30 trillion GDP.
	We cannot afford our annual expenses at all.
	Not even close anymore without debt.
	Like there's no end in sight.
	Even if we tried extreme spending cuts, it would take us decades, decades to achieve a balanced budget.
	Meaning that the debt is never going down.
	The debt, which is the accumulated debt over many years, will never go down for decades.
	It's going to take us decades to balance the budget, meaning it's going to take us decades to stop adding to the debt.
	Take us decades to stop adding to it.
	Before we begin to reduce the debt.
	So the debt will continue to go up indefinitely.
	There's no plan.
	And that's, even if you put in place extreme spending cuts for an indefinite period of time, it would take decades to reverse the deficits.
	And get to a point where we could stop raising the debt.
	Let alone Modest cuts for a short time, let alone get us on a path to ever becoming a nation that is a creditor rather than a debtor.
	It's just never going to happen.
	And so here we are again having another debate over one of these appropriations measures about the debt ceiling.
	And the chief executive, the head of state, and the leader of the lower chamber of the Congress Are both going every day and looking at the polling firms to see what Americans, what percentage of Americans are blaming the respective party if the debt ceiling is breached, if we default on the debt.
	Who's going to get the blame?
	And then, how are the people going to vote in next November?
	And look, this isn't like revolutionary groundbreaking stuff here, but it just goes without saying, but that If we were actually serious about this deficit-debt problem and about the more fundamental problems, we'd be thinking about the next 50 years.
	We wouldn't be thinking about what Americans think about the situation today and how that's going to affect the election in 18 months.
	But anyway, this is the story today about the latest developments on these negotiations.
	This is from BBC.
	It says, quote, details outlined by Reuters and the New York Times would allow Republicans to say they cut spending while Democrats could say they defended domestic programs.
	A U.S.
	official told the news agency the White House was considering scaling back an increase of the IRS to hire more auditors, which was intended to target wealthy Americans.
	The Times reported negotiators were closing in on a deal that would raise the debt limit for two years while imposing strict caps on spending besides military or veterans for the same period.
	Republicans are seeking spending cuts to government programs in exchange for raising the $31.4 trillion cap on government borrowing.
	Biden said the two sides had different visions for how to get America's fiscal house in order, but added that all leaders involved agreed the default was not an option.
	And they never would.
	Mr. McCarthy, who has been the most high-profile public face of the talks for his party, earlier said Democrats and Republicans had worked past midnight on Wednesday and would continue to negotiate.
	He said there's a couple issues still hanging out there that we've got to get done.
	We're going to work 24-7 to make that happen.
	Another key Republican said he believed a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling was likely by Friday afternoon.
	So by tomorrow afternoon.
	Representative Kevin Hearn told Reuters, quote, we are inching closer to a deal.
	I think it's some of the finer points they are working on right now.
	You are likely to see a deal by tomorrow afternoon.
	So, this is what they're saying the deal is going to be.
	Biden is still going to increase the number of auditors in the IRS that are going to go after wealthy Americans, those that are making more than $400,000 per year, but he's just going to hire less than he would otherwise have.
	And Republicans are going to get the Democrats to agree on spending caps, and they're going to cap spending on everything other than military.
	Now if you know anything about federal government spending, you know that the vast majority of federal government spending they can't even touch.
	Because you've got two categories of spending.
	You've got what's called mandatory spending and then you've got discretionary spending.
	Mandatory spending, like the name implies, means that it's mandatory.
	They have to spend that money.
	That money is already owed.
	It's an obligation.
	And so, Social Security falls into that category.
	So, Survivors Insurance, Disability.
	Medicare falls into that category.
	Medicaid falls into that category.
	And that's more than half of government spending.
	So when they talk about spending cuts, unless they're talking about touching Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, any spending cuts that they're doing, it's going to only apply to like 40% of the budget because the majority of it is not, it's untouchable.
	Then when you break down discretionary spending, discretionary spending is controlled year over year.
	The biggest item by far in discretionary spending is military spending.
	So, for example, in the last military budget, I think Congress appropriated $850 billion, $900 billion, biggest military budget ever.
	Military is by far the number one discretionary item.
	Everything else pales in comparison.
	Military spending is more than half of discretionary spending.
	So think about it.
	Mandatory is the majority of spending.
	Then you've got discretionary spending and the majority of that is military spending.
	Now both the mandatory spending and the military spending are not going to be touched by these spending caps.
	Then, they say we're not going to touch veterans benefits, which that's not a big part of it, but it's significant within the discretionary part of the budget.
unidentified		And then, they can't touch interest.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		So, how much of the spending are they really touching?
		I think I have it in one of my documents here.
		I'll pull it up really quickly.
		I think I broke down at one point.
		The actual numbers from the most recent fiscal year.
		Just to give you an idea.
		Okay.
		So, mandatory spending is 73%.
		is 73% 73% of the budget is mandatory spending of that 53% is social security 28% is medicare 5% is education and it goes down from there Discretionary spending is 22% of the budget, of which 46.5% of that is military, although that's going up.
		And then the next biggest item is education at 10%, health at 9%, vets benefits at 6%.
		So between vets benefits and military, that's 52% of the discretionary budget, 52% of discretionary spending, which is 22% of total spending.
		So you do the math on that, that's less than 10% of federal government spending is being affected by these spending caps.
		You break down the total spending, it's overall 40% of it is Social Security, 22% is Medicare, 10% is military.
		So that's 72%, Vets Benefits is 4%, 75% of the spending, and then you factor in interest, will not be touched by the spending caps.
		So that just gives you an idea of how frivolous the entire conversation... So do you understand now when I say this literally doesn't matter?
		Do you know what I'm saying now?
		Now they have been having these protracted negotiations on the debt ceiling for the last two, three months.
		And over the last two weeks they've been saying if they don't pass a deal on the debt ceiling Then we're going to default on the debt, we're going to lose 8 million jobs, the economy's going to shrink, the stock market's going to wipe out $10 trillion in value, unemployment's going to go to 8%.
		But what are we really talking about here?
		We're talking about 10% of the budget.
		We're talking about how many additional auditors will be hired, and we're talking about spending caps on like 10%.
		Of federal spending.
		I mean, it doesn't really make a lick of difference.
		Not even close.
		So, in two years, we'll be having the same conversation.
		If I'm still doing the show in two years, if I'm still alive, knock on wood, and if I'm still doing this show, we'll be doing another show about the debt ceiling.
		And you know what?
		The debt ceiling's gonna be whatever it is.
		34, 35 trillion dollars, whatever.
		$35 trillion, whatever.
		And we'll be having the same discussion if there's a split government, you know, like if one party controls House, the other White House. - But all things being equal, we should be having the exact same conversation.
		It'll be kicking the can down the road again, more deficits, more debt, no end in sight, modest spending cuts, the same conversation.
		And here's the thing, like, I'm just not interested in that.
		Like all these political people, they'll go live on TV and they'll do it.
		I mean, there's been fights over the debt ceiling since the 70s.
		One of the most significant ones was in 96 with Newt Gingrich.
		There's one with Ted Cruz back in, I think, 2011 or 2013.
		And you got guys like Sean Hannity that have literally been talking about every debt ceiling increase for 30 years.
		And it's like, I'm just not interested in talking about, well, well, Bob, the latest polling shows that Republicans are doing a good job of blaming the Democrats in the event that there's a default or whatever.
		Because it doesn't get even close to the real issue, which is This is a country that only exports debt.
		We can't pay for anything.
		And we have a decline in quality of life because this country isn't productive.
		What do you think the cost is of all this debt?
		We've got 30 trillion dollars in debt.
		We have to pay interest on that every year.
		And so, every year we borrow more money, and every year that money that we borrow, which is going up all the time, is added to the debt.
		And every year we're paying an increased interest on that debt, which is going up all the time.
		Now, when we can't... when the interest payment goes up, guess what that means?
		That means that the government, when they tax you, they're taxing and taking income from you You go to work and you generate wealth.
		They're going to take some of that out of the economy.
		It cannot be spent.
		It cannot be saved.
		It cannot be invested.
		They're going to take that money from you, so you're poorer, and they're going to take that money and they can't even use it on tanks or airplanes.
		They can't use it on benefits for old people or retarded people.
		They have to... that's an interest payment.
		They have to pay that to American debt holders.
		And it's the same thing with the trade deficit.
		We've got a $500 billion trade deficit with China.
		What does that mean?
		It means that we import $500 billion, billion, $500 billion worth of goods more from China than we send them.
		Why did they send us $500 billion worth of free stuff?
		We're getting $500 billion worth of stuff, more stuff than we're giving them.
		Why do they give it to us?
	Because we pay for it by giving them our debt, by giving them our assets, or giving them our currency.
	And so when we're giving them, for example, the things that we import from China, it's like cheap manufactured goods, and in exchange we're giving them land.
	We're giving them our debt, which we then pay interest on.
	Or we're giving them our cash and they're building up a reserve of American dollars.
	And so you begin to understand that this country, almost all of its consumption is fed by debt.
	And the day that we're unable to sell our debt to other countries, the day that we're unable to print money and give it to them, and they buy it from us and they give us stuff in return for it, on the promise that the American government will always pay interest, will always take from the taxpayer, and make good on the dead, the moment that that's not a viable situation anymore, we're not going to be able to import stuff anymore.
	We're not going to be able to have any wealth at all.
	We don't make stuff here.
	We won't have anything to offer any other countries for the stuff they make over there.
	And this is why, across the board, people are becoming materially poorer.
	Everybody thinks that we're getting richer because the GDP keeps going up, But understand that the GDP is just a tool that we use to measure the economy.
	It's a very imperfect tool.
	And it gets reconfigured every so often to get a more favorable result.
	It's botted, okay?
	The GDP is botted.
	It's totally manipulated.
	In real terms, people are getting more poor.
	Maybe in one respect people perceive that they have more things, but what are the things that we have?
	Take a look around.
	Take a look at like this desk.
	This desk is made out of plastic.
	This desk I got from Ikea and it's made out of some kind of, you know, one of these boards that is basically plastic.
	And that's all the furniture too.
	If you go and get furniture these days, which is what people do at IKEA, or they go to these other places, is your couch made out of leather?
	Is there wood in there?
	When you look at new construction, even like the cars, it's all plastic.
	It's literally all made out of plastic.
	It's fake leather.
	It's fake wood.
	It's fake everything.
	Fake metal.
	It's all plastic.
	Like a Tesla is made out of plastic.
	The furniture, the building materials, it's all of a lower quality, it's all cheaper.
	Even people notice that consumer electronics are objectively inferior.
	Everything is of a lower quality.
	And so in one sense, people can say, oh, I can go to a store and I can fill up my arms with stuff, but it's all crap.
	It's all garbage.
	So between the inflation and the low economic growth and the declining productivity and the rising debt and the devaluation of the currency, our economic, it's a disaster. our economic, it's a disaster.
	The economic situation is a disaster.
	But the discussion that's going on with the elected leaders is about who is going politically, who's politically going to get the blame.
	And how can we leverage that to get like a little spending cut?
	We're gonna make a deal where it's basically the same thing as before but like a little different.
	We're going to hire more IRS agents to tax the rich more, but just a little bit less.
	And we're going to keep deficit spending like crazy.
	We're going to keep printing money, but just a little bit less with some of the budget.
	Right?
	And so, where's the politicians going to come in and say, here's the bold plan, here's the vision for how we're actually going to have a solvent country?
	Here's how we're going to actually have a solvent country with a large productive sector that makes things.
	We're going to grow our own food.
	We're going to make our own products.
	We're going to harness all the raw materials of the country.
	And in doing that, we're going to create material abundance.
	We're going to invest in the industries of the future that are going to make the workforce more productive.
	We're going to invest in AI.
	We're going to invest in In chips, we're going to invest in that sort of thing.
	And in doing that, we're going to create so much stuff that everyone will be able to have a super high quality of living.
	Because that's attainable.
	Think about Saudi Arabia.
	Why did they live like that in Saudi Arabia?
	Why did they live like that in Qatar?
	Why did they live like that in the Emirates?
	Why did the police force have Lamborghini in Dubai?
	Why is it in Qatar that you get paid?
	I think it's something ridiculous like you turn 18 and the government starts paying you $70,000 a year.
	I used to know somebody from Qatar.
	They told me it's like it's a ridiculous level of wealth and they provide a ridiculous level of benefits and value for their people.
	They build ridiculous skyscrapers and theme parks and they've made it a Disney World for the Ultra super elite, the ultra rich elite of the world to come and drive sports cars and and have the world-class amenities.
	Why did they get to do that?
	Do you want to know why?
	Because they produce oil and then they sell the oil to the world who needs it and the world gives them their money and they can they could spend whatever they want.
	They can buy whatever they want with it.
	Now, if America was producing the things that the world needed, if we were selling all of our oil, and if we were selling all of our raw materials, and we were making technology and food, And through our education system, we're raising up the finest workforce in the world.
	And by investing in the industries of the future, we have the most efficient and productive capital combined with the most productive workforce.
	We would produce so much value as a nation that things would be just as cheap as oil is for people in Saudi Arabia.
	People could have as much stuff as they want because it'd be being financed by other countries in the world.
	But we don't do that.
	Our entire economy is services.
	85% of our economy is services.
	Meaning hospitals, teachers, education, insurance, all that kind of stuff.
	It's like, so we don't even make anything.
	We're only selling stuff to our own people.
	And how much of the workforce is just government?
	And government is paid for by debt and by taking money from people that work.
	So where's the production that's happening here?
	What do we actually produce as a society?
	It's a big problem.
	That's why I'm just so uninterested in that debate.
	We could solve the debt problem very easily.
	We just gotta start making stuff.
	It's that simple.
	What do you do if you're in household debt?
	You get a job so you can start paying it.
	It's that simple.
	We're in a trade deficit.
	We have very high consumer debt, personal debt.
	We have the government's in debt.
	So everybody just has to become a lot more productive.
	But anyway, that's the debt ceiling.
	So there's gonna be no default, obviously.
	Oh, and the $11, they came up with a deal.
	Who could have ever predicted it?
	So that was never gonna happen, but I want to move on.
	I want to get on into the Stuart Rhodes story.
	And like I said, I'm not completely celebrating here, but I'm also not NOT celebrating, by the same token.
	So our featured story here tonight is about Stuart Rhodes.
	He's the leader of the Oath Keepers Militia, and he was just sentenced to 18 years in prison For seditious conspiracy, and he was charged with that for his involvement on January 6th.
	And this is a story here from BBC.
	That's his quote.
	A federal judge in Washington, D.C.
	sentenced Oath Keepers leader Stuart Rhodes to 18 years in prison on Thursday, calling him an ongoing threat to the United States.
	It was the longest sentence yet in the matter of the January 6th riot at the U.S.
	Capitol, and the first on charges of seditious conspiracy.
	The judge told Rhodes at the sentencing, quote, You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the republic, and to the very fabric of our democracy.
	You are smart, you are compelling, and you are charismatic.
	Frankly, that is what makes you dangerous.
	Rhodes replied that he was a political prisoner and that he felt like the lead character in Franz Kafka's The Trial, whose guilt was foreordained.
	He said, quote, my goal will be to be an American Solzhenitsyn to expose the criminality of this regime, he told the court.
	I'm just realizing now I said Dostoevsky earlier.
	I meant Solzhenitsyn when I talked about the Jews.
	I meant Solzhenitsyn 200 years together.
	Prosecutors sought...right?
	Or is it...I'm confused.
	I'm not sure if it was one or the other.
	I think it was Solzhenitsyn.
	Anyway, prosecutors sought at least 25 years describing the January 2021 riot as a brazen attack that threatened the most important and vulnerable part of American democracy.
	The judge agreed with their claim that Rhodes had been a leader of the insurrection and agreed to classify his actions as terrorism, which drastically increased the length of the sentence.
	The judge said what we cannot have, what we absolutely cannot have, is a group of citizens who, because they didn't like the outcome of the election, were then prepared to take up arms in order to foment a revolution.
	That's what you did.
	An FBI informant embedded in the Oath Keepers had recorded Rhodes saying the group should have come to the Capitol armed and hanged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from the lamppost.
	And this is also from BBC.
	He messaged his supporters, we are not getting through this without a civil war.
	Prepare your mind, body, and spirit.
	Him and his group spent thousands of dollars on weapons and equipment and stashed them in a hotel room in Virginia just prior to January 6th during the riot.
	Rhodes stayed outside the building taking phone calls and messages while other Oath Keepers stormed the building.
	They say that he acted like a battlefield general during the melee.
	His defense argued that the weapons stash was never used and that the militia was on a purely defensive mission.
	So, this is a little bit complicated here.
	Now, I'll just say full disclosure, I don't like Stuart Rhodes and I don't like the Oath Keepers.
	I was there at Atlanta Stop the Steal in November 2020.
	And the Oath Keepers were providing security to the Stop the Steal protest.
	and And I was rolling with all those people.
	I was with Ali, I was with Alex Jones, I was with that whole crew.
	And they were doing an event.
	And I had been there the entire week!
	I had been there all week protesting.
	I was at the Governor's Mansion, I was at the State Capitol, I was giving speeches.
	I lost my voice!
	And I brought all my supporters out there.
	And then the day that they were supposed to have their big event, the Oath Keepers literally came up to me in a hotel, I have it on video, and they said, we're singling you out, we are not going to protect you.
	We're going to protect everybody else, but not you.
	They told me, we're providing security to every speaker, and every VIP, and every attendee, except for you, because you're a white nationalist.
	That's what they told me.
	And I said, really?
	They're like, yep.
	I'm like, well, I'll take care of myself then.
	And I brought my own security, bitch.
	Then, I confronted Stuart Rhodes and his ugly pig girlfriend in the street with the Groipers, and he wasn't so tough, and I said, hey bitch, why didn't you protect me at the rally?
	And he was like, well, aren't you a white nationalist?
	And I said, no.
unidentified		And he's like, oh, okay then.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		And I'm like, yeah, idiot.
		Don't they call you a white nationalist too?
		He's like, yeah.
		I'm like, are you?
		He's like, no.
		I'm like, okay then.
		So why'd you not protect me?
		He's like, well, I guess I had the wrong information.
		Pussy.
		Then we made him walk in the street.
		We blocked the sidewalk.
		We said no.
		And we booed him.
		We called him a faggot.
		We chanted faggot at him.
		So, now I'm biased, okay?
		I don't like Stuart Rhodes for that reason.
		And I think that his entire group is a bad idea.
		They call them Oath Keepers.
		Do you want to know why?
		Because they're all former military and police and they say that, you know, we're going to keep our oath to the Constitution that we took when we became feds, when we became military or cops.
		So, it's kind of just asking for trouble.
		It's like a militia.
		They have guns, they show up to these things, and they're all former cops.
		Don't you see a problem with that?
		Wouldn't be very hard for the government to send in a military guy to infiltrate, which is apparently what they did.
		Because it's filled up with FBI informants, all those groups are.
		So I think that's a terrible idea.
		Now, is Stuart Rhodes a Fed?
		I don't know.
		I don't think so.
		If he was actually a Fed, I doubt they would give him 18 years.
		But he created an organization that's basically a honeypot for Feds, and the proof is right here.
		They charged him with seditious conspiracy, and here's the thing.
		The nature of most of the charges against the Capitol defendants is that they are misdemeanors for variously different kinds of trespassing.
		There's over a thousand defendants at this point, and almost all of them, almost all of them, like 900 of them, are for misdemeanors like trespassing, unlawful presence on Capitol grounds, which is like trespassing, parading inside the Capitol, which is also like trespassing, Very few of the defendants got hit with felonies.
		The other category is like violence with police, guys that assaulted the cops.
		And you know what?
		Even though I sort of endorsed that in a certain sense, in a very limited way, If you beat up a cop, you're gonna go to jail.
		Like, you're gonna get charged with assaulting a cop.
		Like, in other words, there are some people that were permitted to enter the Capitol, and then they got charged with trespassing.
		That's just bullshit.
		If a police officer opens the door, and you walk in, and he doesn't try to stop you, and he says, hey, this is your right to be here, and then you get charged with trespassing?
		Now, how could you really have motive to commit a crime?
		How could there be intentionality if you didn't even know, if you're being encouraged?
		You can say that some people didn't even know they were committing a crime.
		I think that's fair to say, and therefore should be exonerated.
		But, if you're beating up a cop with a fire extinguisher, it's really hard to argue that you thought you were doing the right thing.
		It's really hard to argue that you didn't know you were breaking the law.
		And so, although I think everybody should be exonerated in general, because I think it was a righteous cause, I also know that that's not going to happen and that's impractical, and probably if you're beating up cops, you go to jail.
		Like, that's just what happens.
		I think everybody should be freed, but also you can't really be surprised.
		Some people are like, hey man, we were walking inside the Velvet Ropes.
		I didn't even know I wasn't supposed to be there.
		It's like, okay, you got caught up in it.
		You should probably be freed.
		Then you got other people, they're like beating up a cop with a riot shield, they're punching a cop across the face.
		It's like, I don't think in any circumstance you're gonna get away with punching the cops.
		Unless there's literally a revolution.
		Unless there's literally a revolution and, like, all the cops go to jail.
unidentified		Like, the rioters become the police and the police go to jail.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Like, unless that happens, you're going to jail.
		Like, there's no scenario where you don't go to jail for beating the shit out of a law enforcement officer.
		They're called law enforcement.
		You're not gonna get away with beating up law enforcement unless there's a regime change, unless there's a literal revolution and there's a new government installed and therefore all the old government employees become fugitives and they get hunted down and thrown in jail.
		So...
		The defense for that is much worse.
		It's a lot tougher to make that argument.
		Hey, we didn't know we were doing anything wrong when we took a cop's riot shield and started beating the shit out of him with it.
		You can't really be surprised.
		There's virtually no scenario where you'd get away with that.
		Where that's caught on video in the United States Capitol as you should expect that it would be.
unidentified		I didn't know.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Come on.
		Like you're going to jail.
		So there's that.
		So you have the vast majority are being charged with trespassing, unlawful presence, parading, disorderly conduct.
		There's a small group that have been charged with violent crimes like aggravated battery, assault, people that destroyed the media equipment, vandalism, breaking the window, breaking the cameras, that kind of thing.
		Then the smallest group are the guys that got charged with obstructing an act of Congress, conspiracy, seditious conspiracy.
		All those guys were in militias.
		And in the case with Stuart Rhodes, Again, here we have a whole different ballgame from most of the rioters.
		They're buying thousands of dollars worth of guns.
		They're bringing them across state lines, across the river from the Capitol.
		They buy a hotel room and fill it up with guns.
		Then they create teams and they put them in armor and helmets and they send them into the Capitol and you got a guy on the phone across the street directing them where to go So like it's kind of hard to make the argument that that wasn't at the minimum conspiracy and at the most some kind of sedition.
		Now New York Times reported recently that that the FBI was considering charging me with conspiracy but they didn't.
		And some people said well that makes Nick a fed because he didn't get charged.
		I would say very simply it's because there was no conspiracy.
		Stuart Rhodes was charged with seditious conspiracy.
		Want to know why?
		Because he brought a hotel room full of guns to the Capitol and created a bunch of GO teams and some went in and some held back and he directed them from the phone and that just simply didn't happen with me or anyone I know.
		I went out there with no plan and I don't want to talk too much about it because who knows I may still be under investigation But I went out there really just planning to attend the rally, and that was it.
		And, you know, I walked to the Capitol, I gave a speech, and then I left.
		I had no intention of going in, I never talked about going in, I never talked about going in with anybody else, or anything like that.
		So, you have to point out that what Stuart Rhodes did is different than what everybody else did.
		You could say, you can separate these two things out and say that 900 people, it was a spur of the moment thing, they just went in.
		But then there was this one guy with the group that clearly had other plans.
		Now, I don't think that he deserved an 18-year sentence and I don't think you can call this terrorism because it's not terrorism.
		The definition of terrorism is that you are trying to create terror, obviously, terrorize a population with violence in order to achieve some political objective, specifically targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure.
		None of that happened.
		Clearly the goal was not to overthrow the government.
		I don't think you can really prove that.
		And you also can't prove that the goal was to terrorize.
		Like, there's no indication that that was the intention, was to attack civilians or civilian property.
		So I think that's tough as well.
		I think Stuart Rhodes, it probably would have been appropriate for him to get some sort of conspiracy charge like some of these other groups.
		But I think this 18-year sentence that he received because of the terrorism modifier, I think that's probably excessive.
		But ultimately, a lot of these guys were just being really dumb, and I hate to... I don't mean to victim blame here, but again, there's a fine line between you enter into the Capitol through the door, and you show up with a stash of guns, and you send in different teams in body armor.
		Like, that's just a different story.
		So, I think that across the board we can say, like, this stuff is just a bad idea.
		Now, you want to buy a gun for yourself for personal protection?
		Knock yourself out.
		You want to form a book club?
		You want to network?
		You want to talk to your friends?
		Go for it.
		Do not join a militia made up of former cops and talk to each other about overthrowing the government over a cell phone.
		Like, does it need to be said?
		It's just not a good idea.
		So, I'm not going to say I support this because, of course, I think the government's illegitimate.
		I think the election was stolen.
		It was extremely important that Trump remained in office.
		He was cheated out of it.
		It was illegitimate.
		But that being said, you see the result here.
		Now, you can go out there and protest, and you can go out there and do what we were trying to do, which was to encourage Republican legislators to stand by the Republican president through the constitutional process.
		It's a totally different thing to show up with guns and to send people into the building and have walkie-talkies and say, OK, we're entering on the East Side.
		Like, that's a totally different story, and that's not what anybody should be doing for many, many, many reasons.
		So, when he says, I'm a political prisoner, it's like, kind of?
		I mean, in the truest sense, yes, because you made yourself a true political opponent of the regime by taking up arms in that way.
		So, my hair is just a fucking disaster and it's making me really angry.
		I gotta get it cut.
		It's just way too long.
		I haven't been able to get in.
		I'm just going to cut it myself.
		I'm just going to shave my head and become a total skinhead.
		Because it's better than what I've got going on now.
unidentified		now looks horrible.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Whatever.
		Alright.
		Anyway.
		So that's that.
		I want to move on.
		I want to take a look at our Super Chats.
		We'll see what you guys are saying about all this.
		Let's take a look!
		But that's my take on Stuart Rhodes.
		Not good.
unidentified		Okay.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Let me open it up here.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Hang on a minute, I gotta refresh this.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Let me get my body armor out.
		This is the only body armor I put on every day.
		In addition to the other body armor I wear.
		Just not to the Capitol.
		Okay.
unidentified		Let me get set up here.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		That's crazy.
		That's crazy!
		He's a Jew!
		There should be a truce with the BAP folk.
		Both of you support Trump.
		Remember the good days when he backed you in the thought and optics wars?
		Only thing, he's not Christian, but some are, for example, Braddock.

donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		And as much as you want to put him in our jails, they were probably sent here so that we put him in our jails.
		Because to put him in our jails, they didn't pay the electric bill.
		To put him... Oh, I like that much better!
		Oh, that's so much better.
		Those lights were brutal.
		Are they come from the Dishonest Press?
		Oh, don't turn them on.
		Forget it.
		Better, right?
		Don't turn them on.
		Don't turn the lights on.
		Plus, we save on electricity, right?
		And because the lights didn't work, I won't pay the rent.
		So we get better lighting and we don't pay the rent, right?
		Right?

nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's a classic.
		Good times, but it's just he's not like that anymore.
		He's got to get that energy back.
		That's the Trump that we fell in love with.
		A lot of these younger guys don't even remember, but he used to be so funny.
		And now he just doesn't have... he's not quick like that.
		But... Yeah, certainly DeSantis can't compete.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		Very funny.
		Yeah, no, he's hilarious.
		I underscore white underscore guy sent $3.
		190.
		Leafy's relentless coverage of transgenders is hilarious. - Very funny, yeah, no, he's hilarious.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Great streamer.
		I was talking to somebody in a group chat today.
		I said, like, Leafy is so funny because he just has that old-school internet, like, doesn't-give-a-fuck energy.
		Because the whole internet used to be that way.
		When I was growing up, the internet was synonymous with edgelord, crazy, like, Everybody said the n-word.
		Everybody loved Hitler.
		Everybody was making death threats against each other.
		That's like what the internet was for.
		You'd log on to any website, any website at all.
		You'd log on to the Food Network website and say, I'm gonna kill your entire family.
		N-word.
		Hitler's awesome.
		You would go in any forum you would go to.
		Any forum, any video game lobby would eventually turn into Like, I hate your race, I'm gonna come to your house and kill you.
		That was the whole internet.
		And everyone on the internet was like that.
		And then everyone became a faggot.
		Then pornography made everybody trans.
		And now it's nowhere.
		Now it's only here.
		Now only we're doing that.
		But that's literally what it used to be.
		You would go on there and if it was a Mexican guy, he'd say, fuck you, Mexican.
		I'm gonna come to your house and murder your entire family.
		You know, we're gonna send you back home to Mexico, you have shit internet, you have a Best Buy mic, that kind of thing.
		And so Leafy, just like today, he's like, we should just round up all the transgenders and blast them into the sun.
		And anybody else would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't say that!
		But he's got that, he's got that OG internet vibe.
		He was talking to Keemstar the other day, and he was saying to Keemstar, he's like, we gotta go blow up YouTube headquarters.
		And, like, anybody else these days would be like, no, no, you can't say that, but it's funny, but it's funny.
		Now, I'm not gonna say that, because I'm in a very different situation, and I don't avow that, but it's funny.
		It's funny when people just don't give a shit.
		So, yeah, I've been enjoying my friendship with him.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		He's a good guy.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		Well, hang on.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Nobody ever said I was back on board.
		I don't think I ever said that.
		Now, listen, maybe I did a Roman salute and I wore the hat and I said W. Rihanna, W. Trump, but that doesn't mean I'm back on board, okay?
		I haven't endorsed anybody yet.
		I don't think I'm gonna comment yet on that But yeah, I don't think I'll comment on it maybe at another point Because see if I'm gonna comment on it, I'm not gonna do it here Maybe I'll give an interview if somebody wants to do an interview Maybe I'll go on fresh and fit and I'll tell them the whole story.
		Maybe I'll go on Tim Pool and I'll tell the whole story.
		Maybe I'll go on Adam22 and I'll tell the whole story.
		When I tell the whole story, I'm not going to do it in the super chats of a show on a Thursday.
		I'm going to go and I'm going to do a big interview.
		I'm going to give everybody a big, huge story about what happened.
		So I think I'll talk about it at some other time.
		But you can imagine.
		I think you can imagine.
		I think everybody can piece it together.
		Andrew Anglin had it somewhat right in his article.
		But I'll talk about it at some juncture in the future.
		We'll see.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
		Line Rider sent $3.
		Ron Dick suckies and along with every other forced candidate since Bush is always trying to make a LARP presidential catchphrase like FDR's only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
		Nigga, shut up.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		What do you mean?
		What, um, what catchphrases like that?
		That wasn't a catchphrase either.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		Killing Moon sent $10.
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		Wooza and Smiley are just goofy goobers and we love them.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		Do we?
streamlabs matthew tts ▲ ● ▼		Imagine getting pranked by Smiley with the old butt naked picture trick.
		LMAO.
		And who hasn't posed for a silly picture at Columbine?
		They're not our smartest grow-appers but they're all heart.
nick fuentes ▲ ● ▼		I don't think so.
		I think that...
		I think that Wooza is not... I think he's a two-face.
		I think that there's a little more to the story there.
		And I don't really care enough to investigate, but um... Based on things that I've heard, I don't trust him even a little bit.
		And Smiley, you know, whether it was stupidity or he's dishonest, either way, we can't have either of those things.
		So, um, you know what?
		I've learned a lot of things over the last few months.
		I'm always learning.
		I'm always learning with my associations with people.
		And I don't think we can really have that mentality anymore.
		Because you know what?
		What we're doing is deadly serious.
		And so if there are people that are even slightly disloyal or two-faced, or people are so stupid you can't tell the difference, either way I don't want to be involved with that anymore.
		I've been doing this for a long time.
		The stakes are very high.
		I've made it this far.
		I'm not going to continue to let myself be sacrificed.
		I'm not going to have other people be a detriment because of their stupidity or because they lack commitment to the cause or to me.
		So, I don't think so.
		No, I don't think so.
		Well, you gotta love them!
		No, actually, I don't think you do.
		I had that mentality for a long time and look at where that got me.
		Look at where that got me with Baked Alaska.
		Oh, you gotta love him.
		He's all heart.
		But you know what?
		You need brains, too.
		And you need loyalty.
		And those are things that all three of them lack.
		So... I said that about a lot of people for a long time, and it only ever bit me in the ass.
		It was a detriment to me the entire time, and in the end, I wasn't even... I didn't even get the courtesy of loyalty.
		So, no, I don't think so.
		With WuZunSmiley, with a lot of things, they're either too stupid or they're disloyal.
		Either way, they can't handle it.
		I don't consider them AF anymore.
		And that's just how it has to be.
		Now, that doesn't mean that I don't like them.
		I mean, I think they're funny guys.
		I think they're a couple of good time Charlies.
		I don't think they're even necessarily bad people, but we just can't have that.
		Just can't have that.
		It's time to get serious.
		So...
		I'm at the point in my life where I need to be surrounded by people that are ride or die.
		I need to be surrounded by people that are with me to the end, and I also need people that are not going to hurt me by their own, by their own mistakes, by their own stupidity.
		So, and that's just leadership.
		And I was in a group chat the other day and I was commenting on other recent events and I said, this isn't a bowling league.
		This isn't a softball league.
		This isn't a knitting club.
		We like to have fun and we like to have a good time, and you know I like that.
		But at the same time, we also have to have absolute discretion and absolute loyalty because we're running a political movement which is totally opposed by all the most powerful institutions.
		And for a long time, I was probably negligent in my responsibility to say that.
		But, I'm a young man.
		I'm only 24 years old.
		It took me a long time to learn that.
		And I had to learn it the hard way a few times, but I'll never make that mistake again.
		So... So no, unfortunately, And I understand the... I understand why you feel that way.
		I understand why people like to say, hey, come on.
		Well, we love him anyway.
		No, I'm sorry.
		That's not doing anybody any favors.
		It's not doing them any favors by enabling a very stupid decision.
	It's not doing us any favors by excusing detrimental behavior that hurts all of us and hurts all of our objectives.
	Let me tell you, let me just tell you what I think about.
	Let me just tell you this.
	We've got 76 interns, 76 interns in our internship program.
	that are doing regular work.
	We've got about a hundred more that are doing more irregular work.
	They do the events and they do social media stuff and they're in group chats.
	We've got, I think it's 76 interns that are there every day doing really sophisticated work like accounting and finance and graphics and videos and all sorts of things like that.
	Really high skilled people.
	They're doing data.
	We're working on all sorts of projects which you'll see in the latter half of this year.
	And each and every one of them is risking something by being a part of this.
	Each and every one of them, even though we're very discreet, even though we're very good about security, Every one of them is taking on a little bit of risk by participating in this, but they take that on because they believe in what they're doing.
	They're taking on a little bit of risk by working for the number one most attacked, most targeted person politically in the country because they believe in the mission which is America first and Jesus Christ is King.
	It is not responsible, and I'm not doing my job, if They're sacrificing and they're risking themselves and this movement is going to be hurt by detrimental people who are stupid and careless and have demonstrated that repeatedly.
	I'm being derelict in my duty if I allow that to happen.
	For a long time, I just like to have fun.
	But after January 6th, you see there's real consequences.
	After January 6th, and what's been happening lately, you see that there's real consequences.
	And they don't just come for me, they come for everybody that associates with me, everybody that I've ever associated with.
	And so, if I go out and say something, well, you know, I have some discretion and I have to own my decisions, but I can't allow people that have a bad habit of being careless or stupid or treacherous to be anywhere near this and hurt it.
	It's just not doing my job.
	And other people need to have a similar mentality.
	You know, we can't take that sort of thing lightly.
	And there's just no excuse for it.
	You know, going out in front of Columbine with a gun, like, there's just no, there's no excuse.
	Or even the stunt that was pulled last month, which snowballed into this big story You know, Smiley.
	Smiley sent nude pictures of himself to somebody and suddenly that became the problem of the number one Christian white movement in the country for no reason.
	Can't happen.
	That's right.
	Raise your right hand.
	So that's just how it has to be.
	And same thing with Baked Alaska.
	You know, Baked Alaska's been nothing but trouble for me over the last six years and it was repaid by he feels entitled to go out and give his... speak freely about the state of the movement.
	Well, you can now speak freely outside of it.
	So, that's how I feel about the entire situation.
	And... I have to assert that.
	As the leader and I know that's going to come as a I know a lot of people are going to welcome that and we're going to make some other decisions that are going to reflect that in the future.
	Because we've had to learn this lesson a hard way we can't allow it to go on any further.
	But anyway that's that so no.
	I don't think so.

		Don't think for one second... Now, don't get me wrong.
		You can't be totally paranoid or whatever.
		But you have to remember that your woman is not like your buddy, okay?
		She's not...
		She's not in love with you, like, because, you know, hey, I'm your buddy.
		What do you mean?
		Like, I'm always with you.
		Like, women are very, they're very primal.
		And so if a woman starts to smell weakness or she's, like, dissatisfied, she's gonna bounce.
		I'm sorry.
		I've seen it enough.
		I've seen enough in my life.
		I don't care how much you think that you're in this unbreakable commitment.
		Women will lash out.
