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 Tuesday. | ||
We have a lot to talk about tonight. | ||
Lots to get into. | ||
Big show. | ||
Big featured story tonight. | ||
We're actually gonna talk about this last night, but we ran out of time. | ||
My Barbie review went on to like 45 minutes. | ||
Which I didn't anticipate at all. | ||
I thought I was going to spend like five minutes on it, but I got heated. | ||
You know, I got a little carried away. | ||
I was screaming at one point. | ||
So if you missed that, you could of course watch it. | ||
I think somebody posted the full review on Twitter and everyone loved it. | ||
And I think other people were even copying it. | ||
Because I looked at Richard, is it Richard's the name? | ||
Hanania? | ||
I know he's got a substack. | ||
I forget his first name. | ||
I think it's Richard. | ||
But he did a thread earlier today about Barbie. | ||
It was a two-part thread. | ||
Last night, he did a tweet and he talked about the politics of it. | ||
And then this morning, at like 8.30, he updated the thread and said, oh, but I also want to talk about how it was meta, ironic, and this and that. | ||
That's like Brill copied my interview. | ||
That was my whole flow last night. | ||
So I think it was an important contribution to the dialogue on the film. | ||
Anyway, our featured story tonight is about the Civil War, which I don't think is actually going to wind up happening, at least not this week, which is now happening in Israel. | ||
And this comes in response to the proposed judicial reform by Netanyahu, the first part of which was passed yesterday in the Israeli Knesset with no votes from the opposition who abstained from the vote, or rather they weren't even present for it. | ||
And so tonight we'll talk about the judicial reform package, we'll talk about what passed yesterday, And why this is such a big deal? | ||
Because it's got some pretty major ramifications for our relationship with the state of Israel, and many of those in Israel say that it fundamentally changes the character of the Israeli state. | ||
We'll talk about what they mean by that. | ||
What does the left-wing opposition in that country mean by that? | ||
We'll go over the whole thing. | ||
And you may remember we actually talked about the judicial reform earlier this year. | ||
The entire thing was supposed to pass, I believe, in March. | ||
I want to say it was March or February, but earlier this year in the spring or end of the winter. | ||
They had planned on pushing the whole thing, but they had to stop because there were mass protests that threatened to shut down the entire country. | ||
There was a general strike being planned. | ||
The military threatened to resign. | ||
They shut down the main highways in the major cities. | ||
Schools said they would close indefinitely. | ||
So it was an all-out war basically by the civil society against the Likud coalition government over the reform. | ||
So they had to kick the can down the road and it appears now that they're going to pass the judicial reform in parts. | ||
So we'll talk about where we are today. | ||
We'll also talk tonight about the Twitter rebrand. | ||
They're now calling it X. I'm sure you've all heard about it. | ||
It's the latest update to Twitter which is being made by Elon Musk. | ||
And although this doesn't really change the functionality of the site, it may be the most controversial aspect. | ||
He has now officially changed the company name and the company logo from Twitter to X. Which is very bizarre. | ||
And nobody really knows exactly, precisely how this is going to Take place, you know, because the whole site is called Twitter. | ||
It's twitter.com. | ||
So are they getting rid of the name entirely? | ||
And even the language about the site is based on this. | ||
They're called tweets. | ||
unidentified
|
Retweet, tweet, quote, tweet. | |
So what is it called now? | ||
An X? | ||
Nobody knows. | ||
But we'll talk about the rebrand and Elon's response to it. | ||
I have to say, I'm not really loving what they're doing with the site. | ||
I'm not really happy with it. | ||
I feel like every update is worse than the last. | ||
I don't know, and maybe you guys can help me out in the super chats or the live chat. | ||
What did he actually improve at the site? | ||
Because I don't understand. | ||
We were told back in October and November, and I don't want to get too ahead of myself, but the promise was Anything that is legal under the law will be permitted on Twitter. | ||
That was the idea. | ||
And now they're introducing rate limiting and limits to the number of replies or direct messages an account can send. | ||
They've eliminated or ruined the verification checkmark system. | ||
I actually don't know how they improved it at all. | ||
So, we'll talk all about that as well. | ||
Should be a pretty good show. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think that's it. | |
But, before we get into all the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy, get a push notification whenever I go live. | ||
And follow me on Rumble. | ||
I'm not on Rumble until next week. | ||
I think next week my ban is lifted. | ||
I'm right now restricted from live streaming on Rumble. | ||
I can upload but not live stream for two weeks. | ||
I'm one week in. | ||
And that was because of my rally last week. | ||
They said I was like calling for all the Jews to die. | ||
I wasn't. | ||
That's not what I said. | ||
Okay, that's not what I meant. | ||
And it's not what I said either. | ||
But that's what I stand accused of, but I didn't say that. | ||
I said we're in a holy war, and we're willing to die for our cause. | ||
Anyway, we don't have to get into that, but I'll be back. | ||
What a crazy life. | ||
I'll be back live streaming on Rumble next week. | ||
For now, I'm uploading, but follow me there because I will be back next week. | ||

And by the way, hang on. | ||
What is next week? | ||
Because I'm not going to be here on the 3rd. | ||
So I actually won't be here next, probably next Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday. | ||
Just so you know, because I'll be doing another big collaboration. | ||
I'll be back down in Florida. | ||
Just so you know. | ||
So I won't be here probably for the latter half of next week. | ||
Although I'll try to stream. | ||
But I will be down there for another collaboration. | ||
So it's gonna be... Don't worry. | ||
It's gonna be more content. | ||
But I just thought I'll let you know in advance. | ||
And I'll remind you again on Monday and Tuesday next week. | ||
But that's the schedule. | ||
And then I think that's all of our announcements. | ||
I'm a little bit tired, honestly. | ||
I had a long day today. | ||
Just woke up. | ||
Took a little nap before the show. | ||
I'm a little, I'm a little tired. | ||
Baby's a little tired. | ||
The boss baby is a little tired tonight. | ||
I've been realizing what a boss baby I really am. | ||
I was talking to Andre Anglin the other day, and we got in a little bit of a tiff. | ||
I mean, we're good and everything, but, you know, we just had this back and forth, and I got a little shitty with him, and he's like, bro, you don't need to be so aggressive all the time. | ||
I'm like, I'm sorry. | ||
I didn't mean that. | ||
But I'm just in like this Boss Baby mood lately. | ||
Baby... The Boss Baby is tired. | ||
The Boss Baby is hungry. | ||
The Boss Baby is sick of everybody's shit lately. | ||
And I'm sort of turning over a new leaf where I'm just... | ||
I'm kind of just done with the bullshit. | ||
You know what I'm saying? | ||
The Boss Baby's just done with the bullshit. | ||
Okay? | ||
I want my bottle. | ||
I want my rattle. | ||
Hold the bullshit. | ||
Please. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
Because the Boss Baby's had it up to here. | ||
With garbage and with trash. | ||
So anyway... | ||
But I'm a little... And last night during the Super Chats, the Boss Baby had it up to here with the Super Chats. | ||
He wasn't having it. | ||
So... Today, you know, again, I'm having another day. | ||
I'm a little sleepy. | ||
A little sleepy. | ||
I went down for a nap, woke up, and I'm choosing violence. | ||
I'm choosing violence against the Super Chatters again. | ||
We're gonna have a good show. | ||
unidentified
|
I feel like there was one... Oh, yeah! | |
There was one other thing. | ||
Before I went live, somebody showed me that Andrew Klavan from the Daily Wire did a whole stream about me today, and I saw the YouTube video. | ||
It was a quick segment. | ||
I think he spent a few minutes on it. | ||
But he talked about Andrew Tate and me. | ||
And it seems like these are the two... Have you noticed this? | ||
On Twitter, it's now like me and Tate are in the same conversation among the conservative crowd. | ||
They say we hate both of them. | ||
We hate Tate and we hate Nick Fuentes. | ||
They're two sides of the same coin and we reject their toxicity and the fact that they're not real conservatives or something like that. | ||
Clavin did a show like this today and I saw all throughout the last week that was a script. | ||
Even Paul Towne pointed this out, that this has been the script. | ||
It's disavow Tate, disavow Nick Fuentes. | ||
And on that subject, I'll say this much. | ||
It's interesting that Tate has been completely thrown under the bus even though he never even talked about the Jews. | ||
You know, they both, him and his brother, want to attack me for talking about Jewish power and they're getting thrown under the bus all the same. | ||
It didn't even matter. | ||
They're still going to jail, you know? | ||
I'll also say that we are fundamentally different because I am a Catholic. | ||
I am a Christian. | ||
And so while they are pushing some things that I support, like their attitude about women and some other things, fundamentally we disagree because they are in support of this self-improvement and the pursuit of money and women and that kind of thing. | ||
We are fundamentally different. | ||
But with both of those things being said, the fact that one, they have shied away from the Jewish topic really without any benefit, and then second, outside of the fact that we're fundamentally different because they push this hollow self-improvement materialism and I'm pushing something completely different than that, you know, with that in mind, with that preface in mind, | ||
I really do believe that there is some coordinated thing, attack, going on against anybody, lately especially, that isn't kosher. | ||
And I know that's been going on forever, and I know that affects everybody that isn't kosher. | ||
But it's really amazing that there's like a hit that has been put out. | ||
Anybody that has any kind of cultural or political influence that is not down with like the Zio Israel thing, they are being subject to an unprecedented attack. | ||
Not just from the left, but increasingly from their own side. | ||
Now, that's always been the case for me. | ||
But they've also been making this big push lately against Andrew Tate. | ||
They've also made a big push against Steven Crowder. | ||
And I know Crowder's a big Zio shill. | ||
But I've always said, and others have always said, he's one of the better ones. | ||
And he even made a big push against Ben Shapiro and Daily Wire earlier in the year. | ||
And so, looking at it one way, it's like this entire year has been a blindside against very specific people like Crowder, Tate, me, even Project Veritas. | ||
What's his name? | ||
I don't even remember. | ||
James O'Keefe. | ||
Now, he gets a lot of Zionist money, but he's not really down so much with the Zionist cause. | ||
I mean, he's really doing a lot of investigative work, which is You could say maybe too effective? | ||
But I can't be the only one who has noticed that it seems like a hit has gone out against some pretty big players lately. | ||
Now, I've never been held in very high esteem in those circles, but against other specific people in the same way. | ||
And just in the last week, I've seen this dichotomy that's been created. | ||
People say, oh, it's Nick and Tate, Nick and Tate. | ||
These are the villains. | ||
These are the bad guys. | ||
And I saw Clavin give a speech about this, and again, there were some other tweets about this all over the last week, basically since my rally. | ||
And I think what him and I have in common is we're both really pushing an anti-establishment message. | ||
As much as I have my disagreements with Tate, and we've feuded in certain ways, and I've called for him to be put in jail, at the same time, he is pushing a vision of conservatism, which is fundamentally at odds with this Lame, Jewish, just vote for the GOP. | ||
We gotta pander to minorities and women and everything like that. | ||
You know, he really is pushing something different. | ||
So... | ||
I'll also say it is a constant sign of my success that I'm even still talked about because you know that for years they tried desperately just to ignore me. | ||
They would, and they would do petty, petty things like refuse to say my name. | ||
Do you remember Ben Shapiro gave a full speech in 2019 during the Griper War about me without saying my name? | ||
They would just refuse to say my name, for some reason. | ||
And I'm sure that's how they would prefer it to be, is to be able to ignore me, be able not to say my name. | ||
But we are at this point now, we're years into this. | ||
I've been banned from everything, I'm on layers of censorship. | ||
I remember the SPLC, they were so triumphant, they said, once we ban Nick Fuentes from Twitter, it is over for him. | ||
It's been two years! | ||
Since I've been banned on Twitter literally two full years, if you can believe it, since I've been banned on Twitter. | ||
And I'm still talked about on the news and they still have to talk about me. | ||
So, I consider it a constant sign of our success that we haven't been snuffed out, we're still at the table. | ||
And they still have to address the fact that a large and growing number of young conservatives believe in my message. | ||
They don't believe in Israel anymore. | ||
They don't believe in capitalism anymore. | ||
They want a Catholic monarchy. | ||
They want a Catholic monarchy with Catholics at the helm, not Jews. | ||
And they want women to submit to their husbands, and they want a country that is majority white. | ||
They want to defend white identity in America. | ||
I said it at Charlottesville years and years ago, almost six years ago, in I think two weeks. | ||
It'll have been six years. | ||
I said after Charlottesville, there's a tidal wave of white identity coming, and nobody can stop it, and they know it. | ||
Here we are six years later and it's indisputable, it's irrefutable that this was the case. | ||
So anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there. | ||
I saw this clip and it's like, what a day, what a time when the day has come that Andrew Klavan has to do a whole show about me and Tate, right? | ||
But anyway, I want to move on. | ||
I want to get on to the news. | ||
We'll talk about this Twitter rebrand. | ||
And I have to say, I'm very disappointed. | ||
I'm not totally surprised, but I am disappointed. | ||
I'll also say at the same time, though, it is early. | ||
And I know how that's going to sound. | ||
I'm not coping, because I know that things are not where they need to be. | ||
Things have gotten very bad on Twitter. | ||
They've gotten worse, even than before. | ||
But I want to preface all this by saying that it is still very early. | ||
And what I mean by that is Elon Musk bought Twitter still, if you can believe it, less than a year ago. | ||
To me, that feels like a long time ago. | ||
Some people, if you're not in this, if you're not online all the time, it maybe feels like it just happened yesterday. | ||
But it still hasn't even been a year. | ||
It feels like it's been a long time to me. | ||
It feels like it's been a hundred years. | ||
But it actually really just happened. | ||
It hasn't even been a year. | ||
I believe in two or three months it'll have been officially one year since he became the CEO of the platform and began making changes. | ||
And a company of that size and with that kind of significance, this is without a doubt a multi-year transition. | ||
Because there's so much complexity involved. | ||
And I want to start by talking about the promise. | ||
The promise that was made to us by Elon Musk back a year ago and even longer than a year ago when this discussion started. | ||
It was actually more than a year ago. | ||
I believe it was spring 2022 when this idea was first put out there and when Elon began to buy shares in Twitter and begin a hostile takeover. | ||
It was actually more than a year ago. | ||
And the promise was that Twitter must be a free speech platform. | ||
That free speech is good for society and Twitter is the most important place where that's happening. | ||
It also happens to be the smallest market cap of the top ten social media. | ||
Although I don't believe it's top ten anymore by users, but certainly I think it could be considered in the top ten in influence. | ||
And so you have this confluence of Possible and necessary. | ||
Necessary to transform Twitter, but unlike Meta and Alphabet, possible to actually for one man to change it. | ||
And the promise was that it would be on Twitter that Elon would be able to make these changes. | ||
He could take the company private and he could make it a platform where, unlike all the other social media platforms, anything that is permitted under the law would be permitted on the platform. | ||
And he said that would provide a public social good, a political good, And it's also in the spirit of what our nation represents that we have a First Amendment and that doesn't just mean that the government has to refrain from censoring but it also means that we believe in a spirit of free speech as well. | ||
That you actually don't have an open society if you have these major tech companies which are oligopolies or monopolies which contract with the federal government and they're basically censoring on behalf of the government. | ||
It's a distinction without a difference. | ||
And so Elon Musk purchased Twitter about a year ago and as we know he very quickly ran into some very complex problems. | ||
And the problem with social media, as I've said many times before, is it is not as simple as changing the community guidelines. | ||
Because it's really not even the social platforms that are doing the censoring. | ||
And that's counterintuitive. | ||
The social platforms are not the ones doing the censoring. | ||
And we know that because even if a social platform wanted to protect speech, they couldn't. | ||
And they couldn't because of the business model of the social platform and the other technological bottlenecks that a social platform has to deal with. | ||
And so I'll give you a perfect example, which we talked about a lot back last year when Elon Musk first took over Twitter. | ||
Back in 2020, during the George Floyd riots, Donald Trump put out a statement and said that when the looting starts, the shooting starts. | ||
And controversially, Facebook refused to censor that post. | ||
Because Facebook said that this is a statement by the sitting president. | ||
And therefore, there's a special consideration. | ||
It's not like this is a random person calling for the death of protesters. | ||
This is the head of state of this nation. | ||
And so there's maybe a public good in being neutral as a channel, as a medium, social media. | ||
There's a public good in being neutral towards a statement like that and allowing that to remain on the platform. | ||
But there were activist groups like the ADL and the SPLC and others who said that the post must be taken down. | ||
They met with Zuckerberg, they met with the board, and Facebook stood their ground. | ||
They refused to take down the post. | ||
So ADL organized an advertiser boycott. | ||
They put out a front page advertisement in the LA Times, which they paid a fortune for, and they called for all advertisers to boycott their ad spending on the Facebook platform. | ||
Within three months, Facebook had reversed course. | ||
They took the President's post off the platform. | ||
They also made further concessions. | ||
They banned Holocaust denial. | ||
They banned QAnon and took out thousands of groups and individuals posting QAnon content. | ||
And this highlights the fact that, one, there are other interested parties that want censorship. | ||
And those would be these activist groups. | ||
That would be one area where that pressure is coming from, is from this activist class. | ||
ADL, SPLC, these are both organizations with a $500 million war chest each. | ||
And they represent just one sector where the censorship is coming from. | ||
That's one aspect of it. | ||
The other issue it highlights, aside from the fact that there are other interested parties that want censorship, is that Facebook, like Twitter, like YouTube, even to some extent like Amazon, to a lesser extent though, so much of their business is inextricably bound up in the stock market, is bound up in advertisers. | ||
And so Facebook is a perfect example. | ||
Facebook gets 95% of its revenue from advertisers. | ||
95%. | ||
Twitter gets 92% of its revenue from advertisements. | ||
And these are companies that are barely profitable. | ||
It's actually not a very profitable business because the user base doesn't pay. | ||
It's the advertisers that pay for the data of the user base. | ||
What's more, companies like Facebook and Twitter are coming under fire from Google And Apple, which are making it harder for them to exploit user data to sell to advertisers. | ||
This is also something that's been going on now for years, which a lot of people don't talk about, is that companies like Google and like Apple are waging a silent war against these advertiser-based businesses. | ||
Specifically Apple. | ||
Apple wants to protect the privacy of its users, and so that puts them in opposition to Facebook, which wants all the users' data. | ||
And anyway, that's really neither here nor there, but the point is they've already been under pressure from Apple. | ||
They've already been under regulatory pressure about user privacy and some of these class action suits and statutes that have been passed in different states. | ||
And so the social media companies are facing pressure from the activist groups. | ||
There's also this bottleneck about their profitability. | ||
All their money comes from these parties which are very much implicated in the censorship conversation. | ||
If the activist groups can leverage the advertisers by taking out media pieces against them, and it hurts their stock price, they also become another interested party in advancing censorship. | ||
Toyota and McDonald's and you name it, any other big company, it becomes a brand risk for them, largely because of the activist groups, but regardless it becomes a brand risk for them to advertise on a platform that doesn't have uniform censorship. | ||
So that's another aspect of it. | ||
And then the other dimension, and this is, although there are more, the other dimension is the app stores. | ||
Apple accounts for half or a little bit more than half of the market for smartphones in the United States of America. | ||
And on their phones, they control all the software that can be downloaded through their Apple App Store. | ||
Every piece of software that goes on to an Apple iPhone or a tablet or a Macintosh for that matter has to be approved, although to a lesser extent with the Mac computer, but it has to be approved by the Apple App Store. | ||
It all has to be Done through their proprietary app store. | ||
And so if there isn't censorship on the platform, there's still censorship on the app store, on the application store. | ||
And so a half of the smartphone market becomes inaccessible to a social platform that doesn't censor. | ||
I face the same problem. | ||
Gab has faced the same problem. | ||
Even if you don't censor, the app store wants you to censor. | ||
And to some extent it happens on an Android as well. | ||
Although an Android is less strict, you still will be banned from the Google Play Store or other platforms that host software on those phones. | ||
So there's still a hit to market share on those products as well. | ||
So those are three areas. | ||
You have the activist groups. | ||
You've got the advertisers. | ||
You've got the app stores. | ||
Those are really the three biggest problems, although there are others that a platform faces. | ||
And so as a consequence, when Elon Musk buys Twitter and says, well, I want it to be everything that's permitted under the law, it's actually far more complex. | ||
It's a very complicated problem. | ||
Because if you want your platform to have total free speech, you've got to worry about activist groups, you've got to worry about replacing all the revenue that comes from advertisers, and at the end of the day, maybe the biggest problem is the Apple App Store still has the terms of service. | ||
And so then you gotta worry about how do I get my software onto the hardware of half the smartphones in America if we have free speech. | ||
So it's a very complex dilemma, which Elon Musk has begun to try to solve by creating other revenue streams for the platform by introducing Twitter Blue and trying to incentivize people to purchase that and create a subscription income for Twitter, although that's still not nearly where it needs to be. | ||
He is trying to incentivize users to post different content and keep the engagement on the site high by incentivizing users to make longer form content or video content. | ||
And that leads us to the decision that was made this weekend, which is to change Twitter to X. And maybe this is still part of the preface. | ||
But here's the thing. | ||
The road to a censorship-proof platform runs through the Everything app. | ||
I think, and I'm increasingly of the mind, that you cannot have a censorship-proof platform without changing everything. | ||
Which is what the X rebrand is about. | ||
They didn't just change the name of Twitter, he's really taking Twitter and making it a subsidiary of an entirely new company which is supposed to handle everything. | ||
Twitter, as we know, is a micro-blog. | ||
Micro-blog meaning very tiny blogs and 280 characters. | ||
And that is the Twitter business, but Elon Musk has said that it's supposed to now be one aspect of an application which manages everything. | ||
Short-form video, long-form video, live streaming, micro-blogging, macro-blogging, digital transactions, perhaps cryptocurrency, a storefront, all these kinds of things are supposed to be integrated into one. | ||
And so for me, I've been very frustrated at the lack of progress with Twitter, but with all that being said, it's a very complex problem, it's been a very short time, and what Elon Musk has to do in order to make this a free speech platform is he has to circumvent the App Store, He has to replace the revenue model of Twitter in order to make it immune and insulated from the activists and from the advertisers. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
Well that involves basically restructuring the entire company. | ||
It means that Twitter is not going to be profitable for a long time. | ||
It means they've got to eliminate their costs. | ||
Or cut them down as much as possible and then more. | ||
It means they've got to find novel ways to create revenue. | ||
And so what we're seeing over the course of this year is not simply that Elon Musk was going to come in and say, okay, say whatever you want, or that he was going to come on and just extract more money in the conventional ways. | ||
But it's that Elon Musk, in order to achieve free speech, has to reinvent the wheel. | ||
How do you have free speech on the platform? | ||
Well, you need a new business model. | ||
How are you going to have free speech on the platform? | ||
You need a completely new way to make money. | ||
And not just a new way, but you need a way that's going to replace all the money that you've ever made in the last 15 years. | ||
And on top of that, you need to make it in such a way that it can circumvent the App Store. | ||
In some way it needs to basically change social media as we know it because all social media is subject to these pressures and to this structure. | ||
And it has for over a decade. | ||
The advertiser model has been the only way so far discovered that a social media, a purely social platform company, can make money. | ||
That's it. | ||
What's more, social media companies are totally dependent on the Apple App Store. | ||
That's it. | ||
And that's how it's been. | ||
Software is dependent on the people that control the hardware. | ||
And so maybe some might say that Elon Musk is creating X as a roundabout way of getting free speech. | ||
The road to free speech runs through reinventing everything and maybe making the everything app. | ||
And so this is a story from New York Times. | ||
And it talks about how this weekend Twitter has rebranded to X. | ||
They want to call it X.com. | ||
And a lot of people initially had no idea why or what that means. | ||
And I pointed out at the beginning of the show, so what do we call a tweet then? | ||
If it was Twitter and you had tweets, now it's X, so is it still a tweet? | ||
And people have pointed out that it's a very popular and ubiquitous brand they're throwing away and all these kinds of problems. | ||
But this is what Elon Musk had to say about it yesterday on Twitter. | ||
This was his response. | ||
He says, quote, Twitter was acquired by X Corp both to ensure freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X, the everything app. | ||
This is not simply a company renaming itself but doing the same thing. | ||
The Twitter name made sense when it was just 140 character messages going back and forth like birds tweeting. | ||
But now you can post almost anything, including several hours of video. | ||
In the months to come, we will add comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world. | ||
The Twitter name does not make sense in that context, so we must bid adieu to the bird. | ||
And so when you see that statement, it starts to fall into place. | ||
And what we're seeing is that Twitter is not even really going to be the same company at all. | ||
This is not, as he said, this is not Elon Musk buying Twitter and it's the same company. | ||
It's not him buying Twitter and running Twitter in a better way or Twitter with different rules. | ||
He says Twitter is now being integrated or subordinated into or assimilated into a completely new project which is called X, which is supposed to be the everything platform. | ||
So that's why he's changing the name, because it used to be the case it was just these microblogs, like birds tweeting, but now it's live streaming, now it's long form video, multiple hours, it's video hosting. | ||
It's gonna be financial transactions, it's gonna be direct communications, encrypted communications, it's stories, it's everything. | ||
Hence, it's the Everything app. | ||
Hence, it has to be bigger than tweeting, because it's sort of outlived the functionality of that. | ||
And he says, and this is interesting, specifically in this statement, so that's the explanation, is that it's... and if you understand where the name Twitter comes from, it was like birds tweeting in a tree to each other, like chirping. | ||
In other words, like a staccato short sound, like a 180 or 140 character message, as it initially was, between birds, between people. | ||
He says, well, now it's not just that anymore. | ||
Now it's everything. | ||
It's got to be a different name. | ||
Okay, that makes enough sense. | ||
But then he says, and this is the interesting part, he says, but it's not just about accelerating the creation of this Everything app, where it's supposed to do everything. | ||
He says it's also now, at the same time that it's about making the Everything app, he says it's also about protecting free speech. | ||
And that to me is the most interesting part about the statement. | ||
He says at the beginning, he says Twitter was acquired by X Corp both to ensure freedom of speech and as an accelerant for X. So it's not just about creating this company, which is what I just said, making it from just tweets to now everything, but he says it's also about the original mission of buying Twitter, which is to protect free speech on Twitter. | ||
And this leads me to believe that the purpose of Axe, perhaps, is to create an entirely new model that makes free speech possible. | ||
Because I've said this now for years. | ||
You can't do it. | ||
You cannot have a free speech social platform. | ||
I said it a year ago. | ||
I said very quickly Elon's gonna run into the aforementioned problems, App Store, ADL, Advertisers, okay? | ||
The three A's. | ||
It's gonna run into those three things right out of the gate, and it's impossible. | ||
And I even said that before then! | ||
From the time I started this show, I said censorship will come in waves, and eventually it's gonna be impossible for me to do this show. | ||
I said because that is where the technology is heading, that is what the business structure looks like for this kind of a company. | ||
It cannot be done. | ||
And so what Elon Musk is really doing here, what it appears to be, or what he says he's doing, is basically reinventing the social platform so that it can have free speech. | ||
How do you do that? | ||
You have to make it a different business. | ||
The social aspect of it has to be like a bonus almost. | ||
Has to be one functionality of a much larger company. | ||
Because it's not cheap to run a social platform. | ||
It actually costs a lot of money. | ||
And there's really no way that that money can be recuperated in any way other than by selling the user's data. | ||
How do you pay for Facebook? | ||
You can't pay for it with subscriptions. | ||
You can't pay for it by taking a little off the top of certain kinds of transactions or whatever. | ||
It has to be an advertiser revenue. | ||
That's the only way to do it. | ||
Or you can make a company that is so big and therefore sells other things, therefore is making a huge amount of revenue selling other products, and a small part of the expense will be Twitter. | ||
A small function of a much larger company and therefore a small part of the liability expense of that company will be the social platform. | ||
And this relieves the pain and the pressure of having to monetize the activity of a social platform, monetize the function of the social platform. | ||
If I have a company, if I'm Walmart, and my primary business is department stores, but then I also have social media on the side, there's not pressure to monetize the social platform functionality, as an example. | ||
And it appears to be this is what is happening with X, is it's primarily going to be a financial platform, A financial platform, a video hosting platform, maybe they're building their own, they want to build a digital infrastructure like servers and that kind of thing in the way that Amazon is. | ||
Because understand Amazon is a perfect example. | ||
They sell everything. | ||
And they also, a big part of their model is they sell server space. | ||
Amazon web service, Amazon AWS, they, for example, sell the server space for their main competitor, as far as Twitch is concerned, to kick. | ||
And to other major companies. | ||
And Amazon is now cornering the market in addition to books. | ||
They're also cornering the market on video game live streaming, and they're cornering the market on grocery stores, and they're now cornering the market even on something like server space. | ||
So it seems like X is modeling itself not off of Instagram or off of Facebook, but it seems as though X is modeling itself off of Amazon instead. | ||
Which is make as much money as possible, do everything, and then you can also provide another service. | ||
In the same way that Google provided YouTube. | ||
YouTube existed before Google, and YouTube was not even profitable under Google for a long time, but it didn't matter because it was supported by Google under Alphabet. | ||
In the same way that perhaps Elon Musk sees an everything app, Supporting Twitter as part of an umbrella company and that to me would make more sense and only under that scenario could Twitter really be free speech. | ||
If Amazon were to create a social platform, conceivably they could have free speech because they would be insulated from the normal pressures that a Facebook would have to support. | ||
Being controlled by advertisers effectively. | ||
So that's what seems to be what's happening at X. And I don't know that for sure, but that seems to be the case. | ||
And maybe above all what this points to is a convergence. | ||
And we've seen that and people have made jokes about this, like for example, you go on Facebook and Facebook has integrated the features of every other app. | ||
Facebook has stories like Snapchat. | ||
Facebook has the short form video content like TikTok. | ||
Facebook also now hosts videos like YouTube. | ||
And so Facebook at one time was like a plain social network where people friend each other and post pictures and now it does everything. | ||
And it owns Instagram and it owns WeChat. | ||
Or WhatsApp rather. | ||
It owns WhatsApp. | ||
And now Meta, the The umbrella company sort of does a little of everything in the same way that now TikTok says that they're going to do a short form content like Twitter and Instagram says they're going to do threads and do a micro blog like Twitter but it seems like all of these companies across the board The trajectory is towards convergence. | ||
Meaning that these major social media companies, they may start out doing one or another thing, but eventually they all integrate every other feature from every other platform, and it looks like it's headed towards these platforms doing everything. | ||
And people have their entire life on that platform. | ||
And maybe X is the most ambitious and maybe forward-thinking, ahead-of-its-curve iteration of this more than any other. | ||
It seems, in other words, that the future belongs to Amazon, not Facebook. | ||
The future belongs to the Everything app more than it does a TikTok or a Snapchat. | ||
The future belongs to a company that has everything. | ||
And these are, if you know this, these are the richest companies in the history of the world. | ||
Apple, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet. | ||
Microsoft. | ||
These five are the biggest, by market cap, biggest companies in the country. | ||
They're the biggest companies in the world. | ||
Outside of, you know, comparable companies that do the same thing in China like Alibaba, you know, or the big oil companies like Saudi Aramco. | ||
But these are some of the biggest companies in the world. | ||
They have a trillion or a two trillion dollar market cap and it appears they want to horizontally and vertically integrate everything. | ||
They have so much cash, they're so big, now it seems like there are legitimate attempts to integrate everything. | ||
And Amazon is maybe the best example of that. | ||
Amazon, which owns now Twitch, The Washington Post. | ||
It owns Whole Foods, which is a grocery store. | ||
It also is the number one bookseller in the country. | ||
It's the biggest e-commerce retailer, it's the biggest proprietor of server space, Amazon AWS, and that's just, off the top of my head, some of their bigger and more well-known businesses. | ||
And it seems now that Elon Musk, who runs two existing, or two or three, very massive companies, Tesla and SpaceX, is now making a bid to do that further. | ||
With the Everything app. | ||
He's gonna take Tesla, which is a massive, I think it's top 50 company. | ||
I own shares in Tesla. | ||
And SpaceX, which does these big government contracts. | ||
And now he owns Twitter. | ||
He's gonna use that as a beachhead to maybe get involved in everything else. | ||
Pretty, pretty wild stuff. | ||
And there's a deep dive we could go into you know what his endgame is and who this guy really is because he's from the PayPal mafia and he's friends with Teal and you know so there's some suspicious stuff going on there but that's another show. | ||
So anyway that's the rebranded and and again if this is the case then it's not gonna be flip a switch and Twitter has free speech it means you literally have to reinvent everything and that's gonna take a period of years. | ||
I don't know how optimistic I am that he's ultimately going to let everybody on the platform, but if he was going to, this is probably what he would have to do. | ||
So, I don't know if that's any consolation, but at least it's something different, you know? | ||
And who is to say? | ||
I guess we'll have to wait and see if that's going to be better or worse, but it's hard to imagine how it could be much worse than it was before. | ||
So that's Twitter and that's the rebrand. | ||
I want to move on. | ||
We're going to talk about this Israeli judicial reform. | ||
This is our featured story. | ||
And again, we covered this at the beginning of the year. | ||
Netanyahu introducing this major judicial reform package and it was ready to go. | ||
I mean, he was about to pass this, although there were massive protests which prevented him from doing this. | ||
Long story short, Netanyahu has been indicted for corruption, or at least he's under investigation for corruption. | ||
And it looks like he's guilty, and it looks like a prosecutor is getting closer and closer to indicting him and throwing him in jail. | ||
So Netanyahu wants to go in and basically change how the Supreme Court works, change how the entire judicial system works, so that he can stop this investigation and so he can clear out the Supreme Court and prevent it from being an obstacle to his party's objective, which is to basically destroy the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. | ||
He wants all of the mandate of Palestine to be Israel. | ||
He wants a one-state solution. | ||
He doesn't want any kind of Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. | ||
And it seems that the only organ of government which can thwart that agenda is the Supreme Court. | ||
So this is really the gist, is that this year Netanyahu wants to pass this reform, overhaul how the Supreme Court works, and prevent it from checking his power, prevent it from removing him from office, and prevent it from stopping his overarching policy objectives. | ||
So earlier this year he was set to pass this reform and then his defense minister resigned or was fired because he put out a statement opposing the judicial reform. | ||
So when the Netanyahu government fired this widely respected defense minister, civil society erupted. | ||
There were mass protests. | ||
Unions threatened a general strike. | ||
They shut down the airports. | ||
The schools threatened to close indefinitely. | ||
The highways were shut down by protesters. | ||
Parts of the military were threatening to resign or to quit in protest of the law. | ||
And so we did a... I did a whole show about this I think back in March. | ||
Israel was on the brink of collapse unless Netanyahu backed down from the bill. | ||
So he backed down and he said that he would go back and he would negotiate with the opposition and he was going to postpone a vote on the bill until the summer. | ||
And so this weekend, a part of that bill was passed, and it appears that they're going to do it in a piece-by-piece way. | ||
This part of the bill was passed in the Israeli Knesset with no votes from the opposition. | ||
They didn't even show up at a protest. | ||
And this would eliminate the reasonableness standard that the Israeli Supreme Court can use to strike down a law. | ||
So Israel does not have a constitution like we have. | ||
They have what's called basic laws, which are fundamental laws, which would supersede other laws. | ||
And so this is a new basic law that says that the Supreme Court cannot use reasonableness as a justification to strike something down. | ||
So like, for example, One of Netanyahu's chosen ministers was not allowed to become a part of his cabinet because he had been indicted on some tax charge, some corruption charge related to not paying his taxes. | ||
And the Israeli Supreme Court said under the reasonableness standard that he could not be administering, be unreasonable according to a reasonable person. | ||
And so now that standard is no longer part of the Supreme Court's discretion to shut down a law. | ||
And this is a story from the New York Times. | ||
It says, quote, Israeli's parliament passed the first part of a controversial judicial reform package limiting the power of the Supreme Court on Monday, despite months of intense protest and international condemnation. | ||
The Knesset approved the measure which limits the Supreme Court's oversight of government action and curtails its ability to veto decisions and appointments on the basis of reasonability with the unanimous vote. | ||
All 64 members of the governing coalition were in favor, while the rest abstained in protest after the two sides failed to reach a compromise. | ||
Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms have been hotly debated since the longest-serving Prime Minister in Israeli history returned to power in December at the helm of the most right-wing government ever to lead the country. | ||
While his government claimed the moves were necessary to restore the balance between the branches of government, critics have argued that it effectively neuters the Supreme Court and, with it, the notion of a democratic Israel. | ||
And so again, this is just one part of a much more comprehensive judicial reform package. | ||
They eliminated this reasonableness standard, but they also want to do more. | ||
They effectively want to make it so that the Israeli Supreme Court cannot veto laws by the Knesset. | ||
They want to make it so that the Israeli Knesset can control most of the seats on the Supreme Court and can overrule the Supreme Court. | ||
And so if that's the case, then it basically means that the Israeli Supreme Court has no power. | ||
So the critics are right. | ||
And it's this Likud coalition government, Likud is the right-wing nationalist party in Israel, this Likud coalition government led by Netanyahu, if they have control of the Knesset and therefore have the Prime Minister's office, If they were not checked by the Supreme Court, they would effectively get to decide everything that happens in the country. | ||
Nothing would stop them. | ||
The Supreme Court wouldn't stop them, and there would be a unified executive and legislature, and so that would be it. | ||
Netanyahu could basically rule like a dictator with a coalition that is very right-wing and at the same time run by religious extremists. | ||
So you would have an extremely right-wing religious government in Israel with no Supreme Court stopping it, no checks on its power, And, conventionally, that'd be something that I would support, except for that it's an anti-Christ religion. | ||
If you had something like this happening in Italy under the Catholic Church, I would support it. | ||
Or if this was happening in Russia under the Orthodox Church, I would support it. | ||
If this was happening in the United States, I would support it. | ||
But the religious fundamentalists that are in charge of this regime are people that hate Jesus Christ, and they hate the gospel, and hate the cross, and they hate Christianity, and they want us all dead. | ||
And they've said as much. | ||
The head rabbi for the Sephardic Jews in Israel said 10 years ago that the goyim, which is cattle, which is in their mind the Gentiles, he said the goyim work and we eat. | ||
They are slaves and we're the only human beings. | ||
These are the religious extremists that are running the country. | ||
Their finance minister several weeks ago gave a speech behind a podium with a map of greater Israel, which means they want an Israeli state that stretches from the Sinai Peninsula all the way to the Euphrates River. | ||
So that means they want to invade Egypt, they want to invade Jordan, they want to invade Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria. | ||
So it's warmongers and it's anti-Christ, Christ killers. | ||
This is who's running this right-wing government. | ||
And this is what they want to achieve. | ||
So, you know, if you're saying, oh, that sounds so based, it's a religious fundamentalist government, it's a right-wing government. | ||
Well, it's not just any right-wing government. | ||
It's a right-wing theocratic government that is run by the devil. | ||
It is a right-wing theocratic government that is run by the synagogue of Satan. | ||
And their goal, should they succeed, ...is to bulldoze all the neighboring Arab Muslim states and rebuild the Third Temple and prepare for the arrival of the Antichrist, who will persecute Christians. | ||
That is what they're doing. | ||
That is, if you look at the literature, this is what they want to achieve. | ||
They believe their Messiah hasn't come, which means they need to build a strong Jewish state in Palestine. | ||
They need to rebuild their Third Temple, which involves neutering the Muslim world so they can bulldoze the Dome on the Rock. | ||
And then once they do that, it will be the end of the world and their Jewish Antichrist will come and unify the world religions and then kill all Christians. | ||
This is the big idea. | ||
So obviously we don't support this. | ||
There are major protests about this. | ||
This is the same story about the protest. | ||
It says, quote, Even the administration of the U.S. | ||
President Joe Biden issued a rare public critique of its Middle Eastern ally on Sunday, urging the Israeli government to work toward a compromise rather than rushing the divisive legislation. | ||
And again, this is just the beginning. | ||
This is one part of it. | ||
They want to get rid of the reasonableness standard, then they want to get rid of any check on their power, and then once that is accomplished, then they basically have free reign. | ||
And that gets to the significance of it. | ||
This is the last article I'll read. | ||
This is from Haaretz, which is a left-wing Israeli paper. | ||
It says the dispute is part of a wider ideological and cultural standoff between Netanyahu's government and its supporters who want to make Israel into a more religious and nationalist state and their opponents who hold a more secular and pluralist vision of the country. | ||
The governing coalition says the court has too much leeway to intervene in political decisions and that it undermines Israeli democracy by giving unelected judges too much power over lawmakers. | ||
The coalition says the court has too often acted against right-wing interests, for instance by preventing construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, or striking down certain privileges granted to ultra-Orthodox Jews, like exemption from military service. | ||
Opponents fear the measure will make the court much less able to prevent government overreach. | ||
They say the government, unbound by independent courts, may find it easier to end the persecution of Mr. Netanyahu, who is on trial on corruption charges. | ||
Critics also fear that the changes might allow the government, the most right-wing and religiously conservative in history, to restrict civil liberties or undermine secular aspects of society. | ||
In a speech on Monday night, Mr. Netanyahu suggested that his government could pursue more of the judicial overhaul plan in November, but he wanted to allow time for talks about it with the opposition. | ||
And so this is really what it's about. | ||
The Israeli Jews over there say that it's a question of the character of the Israeli state. | ||
And this is a battle that's been going on for 70 years within Israel between these war hawks and religious extremists and nationalists, and then on the other side, the more liberal-minded Jews. | ||
And the debate is whether Israel is a religious state. | ||
Is it an ethno-nationalist religious state that is run by ethnic Jews, religious Jews, and they want to have one state, no Palestinians, no Muslims, no Christians, and effectively formally become an apartheid state? | ||
Or is it going to become a Western liberal democracy where there is a two-state solution and there are going to be Muslims and Arabs beside Jews? | ||
And it's been going on for decades. | ||
And so critics of the law there say that this changes the character of the state because it will centralize all power in the hands of a religious nationalist majority which can govern without any checks. | ||
On the other hand, the way that we have to see this is that the Likud Party, which would govern this, has massive influence on our government. | ||
And all the things that you've seen over the last 20, 25 years, 30 years, so much of it, most of it, has come from this party, has come from the Likud Party and its antecedents, which have been in Israel for decades. | ||
Various Israeli terror groups and influence organizations. | ||
It is all channeled through these same people over generations. | ||
And so it's not just any coalition taking power and eliminating liberal democracy. | ||
It's an anti-christian, zealous Zionist group which wields so much influence over the American government and specifically the American right wing. | ||
What's more, It's not just anybody that's taking over the country. | ||
Netanyahu takes over the country and effectively ends the prosecution of him, so he doesn't face any accountability, he will not be removed from office, there is no more investigation of his crimes like he's good, so it's saving his ass politically. | ||
And then at the same time, they say that the number one thing that the Israeli Supreme Court has prevented over the course of decades is the expansion of civilian settlements in the occupied West Bank which is a major source of contention. | ||
This is condemned by virtually every country, including our own. | ||
Since 1967, we have condemned civilian settlements in the West Bank. | ||
So has the United Nations. | ||
So has the Security Council. | ||
It's against international law. | ||
It's against a foreign policy of almost every state. | ||
It's a major source of Muslim antipathy against the West, specifically the United States, that we allow this to go on. | ||
And so if the Israeli Supreme Court can't check the Lyakud government, then they're virtually unstoppable. | ||
They can expand these settlements. | ||
It all but ensures that there will never be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. | ||
And again, the goal of that, the goal of expanding civilian settlements there, ultimately, is so they can rebuild the Third Temple. | ||
They want to totally occupy East Jerusalem. | ||
They want to completely occupy the West Bank. | ||
They would like to dominate their periphery, which means Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. | ||
And they want to dominate their periphery so that they can rebuild the Third Temple. | ||
That is their goal. | ||
You don't have to look very far. | ||
That's what all the religious extremists in their government say. | ||
It's what their finance minister believes. | ||
He believes in greater Israel. | ||
That's what their head rabbis believe in. | ||
It's what their far-right religious extremists in the cabinet believe. | ||
They want to dominate their neighbors, expand their borders far beyond Palestine, so that they can rebuild the Third Temple and bring about the apocalypse. | ||
Like, that is what they want. | ||
And that's why this is so significant. | ||
These developments are extremely consequential. | ||
And by the way, it's all connected. | ||
This could not have happened if Saddam Hussein was still in power. | ||
It couldn't have happened if Gaddafi was still in power. | ||
It couldn't have happened if the Cam David Accords or the 93 Peace with Jordan never happened. | ||
It couldn't have happened without the civil war in Syria or the Arab Spring. | ||
Like, all of this is connected. | ||
And it's all towards the goal of securing and strengthening Israel against its neighbors so that it can make consistently more and more aggressive moves for the purpose not of achieving safety and security, but of achieving something very dark and sinister and apocalyptic. | ||
Because remember, this is a people that hates Jesus Christ. | ||
That's why they tried to outlaw the gospel in this country three months ago. | ||
Have you ever heard of such a thing? | ||
Even North Korea has a Catholic Church. | ||
And it's not a perfect comparison because Christians are persecuted in that country, but they're persecuted in Israel too. | ||
And Israel's far more powerful and far more nuclear than North Korea. | ||
But they're our closest ally. | ||
Go figure. | ||
So that's what's happening in Israel. | ||
All we can do is root for and cheer for the left-wing regime in Israel. | ||
We have to root for a civil war in that country, for civil unrest. | ||
It is better for America, it's better for Christians and the American right-wing if this government is toppled in some fashion. | ||
If it's Netanyahu going to jail, or if it's the protesters succeeding. | ||
Sadly though, Netanyahu is playing it very smart by dragging this out over the period of a year, it prevents the opposition from coalescing. | ||
A coup has to be lightning fast to succeed. | ||
And they almost succeeded earlier in the year. | ||
But they allowed Netanyahu to draw it out over the course of many months, and pass one part of it, and he'll draw it out for many more months, and then he'll pass another part of it, and then he'll do the same, and before you know it... | ||
All the opposition will have lost its steam. | ||
They will have lost their moment and the reform will be passed and then they can't be stopped. | ||
So that's what's going on in Israel. | ||
Major, dire consequences for the world. | ||
But that's that. | ||
I want to move on. | ||

Israel is so much stronger with diversity. | ||
With all the civilization building blacks have done, Israel should become 80% black. | ||
They would be unstoppable. | ||
The world would truly be blessed with this. | ||

Dude, no way. | ||
Dude, no way. | ||
If I did something like that, someone would just show up and kill me, probably. | ||
Why would I do that? | ||
Why would I want to meet people from my hometown? | ||
So you guys know where I live and you start bothering me to hang out all the time. | ||
Hey man, want to grab a beer? | ||
Want to grab a beer at Eden Lane's? | ||
Nah, I think I'm good actually. | ||

LiveWire sent $10. | ||
Every attack on America First feels extremely bad faith. | ||
Oh, we're a cult? | ||
I'm hearing this for the first time. | ||
As if pledging your sword to a leader that's willing to fight for you, your identity, your ideals, isn't the story of all great men. | ||
We are a cult. | ||
Cult isn't a bad thing. | ||
Yeah, I hate them. | ||

Hey, thank you, nigga. | |
Okay, let me take a look. | ||

Wang Hap says, I got the new Forgies on the Jeep. | ||
Okay, that's great. | ||
Thank you for that. | ||
Okay, I got one more. | ||
Oh, no, fuck. | ||
We have a ton more. | ||
I thought I was gonna get off easy tonight, like, but most of them just didn't even load. | ||
Damn it. | ||
How did that happen? | ||
They all just came in at the same time? | ||
Maybe it just didn't load. | ||
Damn it, dude. | ||
I really thought I was like, wow, okay. | ||
Let's get to log off and go eat. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
French Catholics sent $3. | ||
Do you think the potential for censorship would be lighter or heavier on an everything app? | ||
It sounds a lot more centralized which may not be a boon for dissidents depending on who is in charge. | ||
All centralized. | ||
I mean Facebook is centralized, Instagram is centralized, Twitter is centralized. | ||
The only difference is they can make more money and they don't have to rely on advertisers. | ||
Based Groyper sent $3. | ||
Destiny is claiming you won't rematch. | ||
Why not bury him? | ||
Because he said he's never going to associate with me again. | ||
So if he wants to have a rematch on his stream, we could do that. | ||
But he said back in May, well I'm never going to associate with Nick Fuentes again. | ||
Then he showed up like a lost homeless person at the Fresh and Fit appearance and I wasn't going to back down. | ||
But I'm not going to collaborate with him. | ||
Why would I associate with that loser? | ||
I get better views on Cozy than he gets on YouTube. | ||
Why would I collaborate with him? | ||
I have nothing to gain by associating with him. | ||
That's how it's going to be. | ||
unidentified
|
Fuck him. | |
So, unless he wants to put out a statement and say I'm not disassociated from Nick Fuentes, you know, maybe then I would consider it. | ||
But, I mean, he said it himself. | ||
He's like, well, I would debate Nick on Fresh and Fit because, you know, he's already gonna be on there so it's not my audience, I'm not giving him anything. | ||
It's like, so if, you know, in other words, he's not gonna debate me unless he, in his mind, I have nothing to gain from it and he's gaining. | ||
Why would I do that? | ||
That's a terrible proposition for me. | ||
Plus, I already beat him. | ||
I already beat him on every topic now. | ||
Because if they tried to do that now, every Muslim country would go to war with them and it wouldn't be, you know, they would have a big problem, basically. | ||
It would just be a repeat of 1948. | ||
to rebuild the third temple. | ||
What is stopping them from doing that now? | ||
Because if they try to do that now, every Muslim country would go to war with them. | ||
And it wouldn't be, you know, they would have a big problem. | ||
Basically, it would just be a repeat of 1948. | ||
And it would be very tenuous. | ||
They'd be in a war with Iran. | ||
They'd be in a war with Iraq. | ||
Saudi Arabia would be forced to go in on the side of the Muslims. | ||
They would be at war with Turkey. | ||
They'd be at war with everybody. | ||
So, it would be a big problem for them. | ||
That's why they have to completely dominate the region. | ||
French Catholics sent $3. | ||
Will the Israelites ever be truly divided when it is their main tool of conquest? | ||
What you were saying about the Jews being like a being family rang true. | ||
How does this reconcile with current events? | ||
You're saying what Jews say. | ||
Jews say that because not every Jew agrees on everything, that that means that they're not all on the same team. | ||
And here's how you know that's not true. | ||
They will not let the Israeli state collapse. | ||
They will not let the Israeli state fall apart. | ||
There will be no civil war. | ||
There will be no collapse. | ||
Because at the end of the day, they're going to look at all their neighbors and say, oh, at the end of the day, we're all Jews. | ||
We're all Jews. | ||
Israel's our only safe haven. | ||
So just because there's disagreement within the ranks doesn't mean they're all set against everybody else, which they are. | ||
So, so no, that's, that's like a Jewish argument. | ||

What is your rebuttal to the idea anti-Semitism as the final stage of Zionism? - I haven't heard that. - Baldurin sent $10. | ||
You talked about Protestant Reformation few days back. | ||
Do you give any credence to people like Huss and Luther in criticizing church for luxury and selling of indulgences or you think it was an excuse? | ||
No, I'm totally against Protestantism. | ||
Roman the Slav sent $3. | ||
Nigga, how much money would it take to get you to finally watch Lord of the Rings? | ||
There's no amount of money in the world. | ||
John Dave Irving sent $50. | ||
Loved the fit you had for Fuentes Rally 2. | ||
I just didn't like that you wore khakis. | ||
Oh, I see. | ||
You're trying to, yeah, I see. | ||
John Dave Irving, my old friend. | ||
He really thought, he really thought he was going to trigger me with that. | ||
He really thought, because I'm already in a bad mood, he thought he was going to get me. | ||
Because he knows full well he watched the show where I said it wasn't khakis, it was white pants. | ||
He even saw the pants I wore. | ||
Nice try, though. | ||
He told me at the rally, he's like, oh, I send you Super Chats deliberately to get under your skin. | ||
Yeah, nice try. | ||
But you already revealed the magician's secret. | ||
I know all your moves now, OK? | ||

No, but thank you for the big super chat. | ||

We like John D. Verbin. | ||

I don't just pretend to like him. | ||
I actually like him. | ||

I appreciate it. | ||
But, yeah. | ||
Better luck next time, maybe. | ||
unidentified

Hey, thank you for the big super chat. | |
Look, if you're not going to get me today, you're just not going to get me because I'm in a really bad mood today. | ||
So, I'm hungry, I'm tired. | ||
If you can't get me today, I mean, you're never going to get me. | ||
But thank you for the big super chats. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Boogly Woogly sent $5. | ||
Why do not support the Palestinians? | ||
Why not apply the same logic of supporting Russia and China against the regime to Palestine and maybe the Arab states against Israel? | ||
Because I am a racist. | ||
Why do you give a shit? | ||
Why does everyone... When are you gonna watch Lord of the Rings? | ||
Why do you care? | ||
is the movie that inspired Drive, GTA, and the entire neo-noir heist genre. | ||
In the one who incepted the goofball who was trying to tell you that and get you to watch it. | ||
SMH. | ||
Why do you give a shit? | ||
Why does everyone... | ||

|
People are insane. | |
Maybe I don't get it because I'm completely solipsistic. | ||
I can't imagine wanting another person to have seen a movie. | ||
unidentified

Because I'm like, what? | |
People are like, they just need to know if I've seen a movie. | ||
They need me to see Lord of the Rings. | ||
Why? | ||

Wow, I made it last minute. | ||
Hey! | ||
Here, take money. | ||
Hey, thank you for the big super chat, man. | ||
I appreciate it. | ||
Yeah, I guess everybody literally did all make it in the last like 10 minutes? | ||
Literally, they all came in at the last 10 minutes. | ||
Did everybody send them in the last 10 minutes, or did they just load? | ||
Like that, because that's so bizarre. | ||
I was literally wrapping up the show and then they all came in. | ||
Very strange. | ||
Vincent sent $3. | ||
In True Detective Season 2, Vinny V or Colin Farrell? | ||

Great show, Nico. | ||
Do you think if we take our countries back we could funnel billions into the Israeli opposition to denuclearize Israel? | ||
Do you think they would actually Samson option us? - I think that's a pretty long ways off, so I don't know what the landscape is gonna look like at that point. - Edgemaster 69 cent $10. | ||
I think Elon might be playing the long game with X. The only thing that concerns me is how he banned Yi. | ||
He said yes tweet was incitement to violence because it made him want to punch Yi. | ||
Seems like he really might have drank the Kool-Aid. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
We'll have to wait and see. | ||
Like I said, it could be one way, it could be the other way. | ||
He could just be saying that for now. | ||
I mean, I do believe it's possible that he is only banning certain people to placate ADL for now. | ||
Now, we may find out later on that he was sincere the whole time. | ||
We may find out it was a ruse, but we really have no way of knowing. | ||
