| 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 Wednesday. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about tonight. | ||
| Lots to get into. | ||
| Big show! | ||
| It's actually a very small show. | ||
| This is really gonna be for the replay, viewers. | ||
| I'm playing for a small crowd tonight, live. | ||
| But this is really, I feel like, gonna be a show for The replay audience, we're coming to you live at 3 a.m. | ||
| My apologies, a little bit late. | ||
| But I fell asleep right before the show was supposed to start. | ||
| I woke up super late, so that's okay. | ||
| We're gonna do a 3 a.m. | ||
| show and our featured story tonight we're talking all about aliens. | ||
| And specifically alien disclosure, which appears to maybe be imminent. | ||
| It's something that's been talked about now for decades. | ||
| And the term they use is disclosure. | ||
| And that is the day when the federal government will disclose to the general public that they have known that there is extraterrestrial civilizations for decades. | ||
| And it's not a matter of getting the evidence, they already have it. | ||
| And they've perhaps been in contact with extraterrestrials for generations. | ||
| It's a matter of disclosing this in a timely manner and with some discretion to the public. | ||
| And so today there was a big hearing about this in the United States Congress and this comes on the heels of years of talk about aliens. | ||
| It's a very bizarre phenomenon. | ||
| And if you've been paying close attention, this is something actually that was pioneered by Harry Reid, the former Democrat House Majority Leader. | ||
| If you remember, Harry Reid from the state of Nevada was the one who, on his departure as the outgoing leader of the Democrats in the Senate, insisted on more House, or I should say congressional oversight over this UFO dilemma. or I should say congressional oversight over this UFO dilemma. | ||
| He was really, as far as I can recall, the first one that was really talking about this 10, 15 years ago, actually. | ||
| And now, it's been a long time, but we've seen this crescendo of public and open discussion from defense officials and from government officials on UFOs and on aliens. | ||
| Now, for the record, I don't believe any of it. | ||
| I don't believe in aliens. | ||
| I don't believe in UFOs. | ||
| I think it's all fake. | ||
| But I don't exactly know why they're doing any of this. | ||
| I think it's a very bizarre situation. | ||
| But we will talk about it tonight. | ||
| Like I said, the big development today is they held the big hearing. | ||
| And there was a defense official who went on the record and said that they had recovered Biological material of a non-human origin from an Unidentified flying object from a UFO and now they call it UAP. | ||
| They changed the acronym. | ||
| It's not any longer UFO It's now UAP Which I don't even know what that stands for but they say that they've recovered biological material that is non-human From a UFO. | ||
| And so we'll go through and talk about what precisely happened today in this hearing, and I'll talk a little bit about it. | ||
| It's very strange, but I don't believe in any of it. | ||
| And I want to talk a little bit about some of the common rebuttals to the alien thing. | ||
| I hear a lot of people say, oh well, they're just doing this to get funding. | ||
| And it's like, are you so naive to think that the government needs excuses to appropriate money? | ||
| It's 2023. | ||
| I mean, maybe you could be forgiven for thinking that in the 80s or the 60s. | ||
| But are people seriously, in this year? | ||
| I mean, think about what's just happened in the last 18 months. | ||
| We've given Ukraine 200 billion dollars. | ||
| And people think we need an excuse, and then they lose it. | ||
| Then, there's all kinds of money that they don't even have any accounting for. | ||
| They double the money supply, they're spending trillions of dollars, and people are like, well, they have to fake an alien invasion to get a bigger defense budget. | ||
| They get a bigger defense budget every year for no reason at all. | ||
| We're in fewer wars, but it's more money. | ||
| Ukraine's not a NATO member, but we're giving them a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of material. | ||
| It's like you think we need to fake extraterrestrial civilization to appropriate a few more bucks? | ||
| It's very naive. | ||
| So anyway, we'll talk about some of the common arguments. | ||
| And that'll be our main story. | ||
| We'll also be talking tonight about the DeSantis campaign, which is apparently in freefall. | ||
| If you look at the polling average, he is getting absolutely destroyed. | ||
| According to the Real Clear Politics average for the Republican primary, he's polling at, on average, 35 points below Trump. | ||
| Trump is in a dominant position with 54, and DeSantis is, I think, between 18 or 19. | ||
| And nobody else cracks double digits. | ||
| The next highest, I think, is Vivek, who's at six or seven. | ||
| But as I said very early on, it is not a two-man race. | ||
| It is a one-man race. | ||
| It is not Trump versus DeSantis. | ||
| It is Trump versus everyone that isn't Trump. | ||
| And so in that way, it's really about for Trump or against Trump. | ||
| And it's a meaningful distinction because Trump has just shy of half But those that are not Trump are divided between like six or seven candidates that all have significant support, significant enough that not one of them is even coming close. | ||
| And particularly the big story today is that Ron DeSantis had to cancel a string of fundraisers in the Hamptons in New York because there was no interest. | ||
| Nobody even wants to show up. | ||
| Not even Ken Griffin of Citadel Who is one of the biggest Republican donors and he really represents Wall Street. | ||
| He represents a major financial institution. | ||
| And there was much to say one or two years ago about Ken Griffin switching allegiances from Trump basically out of necessity in 2020 to DeSantis in his prospective 2024 run. | ||
| And this was supposed to signify a complete shift in Republican attitudes about who they wanted their nominee to be in 24. | ||
| Not even Ken Griffin would show up to the DeSantis fundraiser. | ||
| Nobody would! | ||
| They discounted the tickets by half and then they canceled the event altogether because nobody wanted to go. | ||
| And this comes amid a campaign shake-up where he's firing half of his 90-person staff. | ||
| Actually, it's close to half. | ||
| It's not half. | ||
| I think it's like a third or something like that. | ||
| But he's firing a significant number of people, trimming down the staff, cutting back on the hotels and the private jets. | ||
| They're burning through, I think it's 40% of every dollar that they've raised in the last couple months. | ||
| And they're only losing ground in the polls. | ||
| So it's a total disaster. | ||
| We'll talk about all that. | ||
| And it should be a pretty good show. | ||
| Like I said, I'm a little bit past our normal time. | ||
| I'll be back here tomorrow or today, Thursday, hopefully at the normal time. | ||
| I've just been, I've been battling the sleep schedule. | ||
| You know, I'm back in town. | ||
| We just had the big rally. | ||
| I'm adjusting. | ||
| And I'm just I'm tired. | ||
| I need a vacation. | ||
| I think I'm gonna take a vacation in August because It's just been non-stop. | ||
| It's just been going going from Basically since Mar-a-Lago, it's like Mar-a-Lago to Alex Jones to Back in the Lab with Ye, back to LA, Fuentes Rally 1, Fuentes Rally 2 And I just need a little Great! | ||
| Fresh and Fin. | ||
| I'm going all over the place in August and September. | ||
| So I'm just kind of taking it easy. | ||
| I'm just trying to chill a little bit so I don't get too burned out because we've got a big year ahead of us next year. | ||
| Many events. | ||
| AFPAC. | ||
| The election. | ||
| You know, it's going to be a big year so I'd like to take a little bit of time off. | ||
| Just slow it down a little bit towards the end of the year here. | ||
| But anyway, before we get into the news, I want to remind you to smash the follow button here on Cozy, get a push notification whenever I go live. | ||

| One last thing. | ||
| Next week I'll not be doing a show. | ||
| The last half of the week I'll be out doing another big collaboration with a YouTuber. | ||
| So, excuse me, the latter half of next week I won't be here. | ||
| I'll try to do a show. | ||
| I'll try to do a show at least Wednesday and maybe Friday, but I believe it's next Thursday I'll be doing a collaboration. | ||
| So... | ||
| Be on the lookout for that. | ||
| Probably just a couple shows in studio next week and then another collaboration. | ||
| Busy, busy. | ||
| You know, I'm all over the place. | ||
| Okay, with that out of the way... I'm trying to think if there's anything else. | ||
| Not really. | ||
| I'm kind of... I'm feeling a little weird. | ||
| I have like a stuffed belly. | ||
| You know, I wake up... | ||
| And it's a slow start. | ||
| I jump in the shower. | ||
| I'm starving. | ||
| I order McDonald's and I just like inhaled this thing. | ||
| I just I had a quarter pounder with cheese meal and cookies and and Coke and everything and I just inhaled it and now I feel a little like sugar high I guess or something. | ||
| So I'm a little out of sorts. | ||
| It's a weird time. | ||
| I'm on a full belly. | ||
| But that's okay. | ||
| We're going to have a good show. | ||
| Kind of like a casual show, even though it's not Friday. | ||
| It's still kind of got a casual feel. | ||
| I need a haircut badly. | ||
| My barber is booked solid. | ||
| You know, I had a haircut appointment. | ||
| I had to miss it because Fresh and Fit kept me until Wednesday, so I couldn't fly home. | ||
| I missed my appointment. | ||
| Now my hair is fucking ridiculously long again. | ||
| It, like, makes me furious because it looks bad. | ||
| And when I look bad, I get furious. | ||
| I mean, like, really? | ||
| You see how it has this, like, bowl shape? | ||
| I don't know why it does that. | ||
| I don't know if it's the humidity, but it has a tendency to just... It just has this frizzy fucking bowl look, and I hate it! | ||
| It grows too fast, it's too thick, it's too frizzy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What are we going to do? | |
| Hmm? | ||
| Usually I put a little product in, but I was in a big rush to get this show on the road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright. | |
| No matter what I do it always just falls back to that to that pattern. | ||
| It didn't used to do that either, but for whatever reason, I've trained it now to go into this bowl shape. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm unprepared. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Alright, well, we'll get this on the road. | ||
| We gotta make it good enough here to get this show started. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| It's too thick, dude. | ||
| It's too... I gotta get it cut shorter when I go, but every time I'm like, you know, leave it a little longer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then it's good for about two weeks, and then it's too long. | |
| How's that? | ||
| that's not good but it's fucking it's whatever we got to get a fucking budget to bring in like a hairdresser or something out Alright. | ||
| Not happy about it, but it's fine. | ||
| It's good enough. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So we're gonna dive in. | ||
| We'll talk about this DeSantis campaign. | ||
| And I have to say I really called this one. | ||
| I really called this one 100% from the beginning. | ||
| And I don't really even remember How much fanfare there was about DeSantis on our side of things. | ||
| Because it feels so long ago, and it also feels like, at least in hindsight, so ridiculous. | ||
| I remember during the midterms, so this would have been November of last year, everybody was drinking the DeSantis Kool-Aid. | ||
| Because they said he won Florida by 20 points. | ||
| Florida's a purple state. | ||
| It's an R plus 3 state. | ||
| DeSantis won it by 20 points. | ||
| He won Miami. | ||
| It's like, so did Marco Rubio. | ||
| Okay, Marco Rubio won Florida by 20 points. | ||
| Marco Rubio won Miami-Dade. | ||
| It's not that big of a deal. | ||
| But back then, there was all this fanfare about Trump-backed, election-denying candidates suffering. | ||
| DeSantis, well, DeSantis himself performing well, and DeSantis-type candidates performing well. | ||
| And there was so much talk about a post-Trump movement from a lot of pundits and from a lot of Republicans. | ||
| They said it was going to take the form. | ||
| The Virginia governor whose name I always forget it was going to follow suit with the Critical race theory critics and these parents that go to the school board meetings. | ||
| It was going to be like a daily wire flavor of conservatism and they were the ones heavily promoting it and it would be led by DeSantis and there was all this talk about Trump is Not competent, he's a bad governor, meaning not governing the state properly, the state of the United States, and so on, and so we need somebody who can take the levers of power and effectively wield them, and that is DeSantis. | ||
| And I remember at that time hearing all this and saying, absolutely not. | ||
| Like Trump is in a dominant position. | ||
| No Republican has ever had a higher approval rating than him at his highest or at his lowest. | ||
| And that his position is basically uncontested. | ||
| It's immovable. | ||
| And I know there was so much, again, there was so much hype, but it wasn't backed by anything real. | ||
| There was no evidence that one-on-one or even one versus a crowd of people against him that DeSantis or any other Trump critic would be able to dislodge Trump's support. | ||
| There was never any evidence that that was going to happen. | ||
| There was never polling, there was never... It just was never backed up by reality. | ||
| There was all this talk on the internet and in National Review online, but there was never any semblance of As far as I could see concrete support for a DeSantis-Contra-Trump nomination. | ||
| And I remember talking about this a lot during the midterms and even earlier this year when DeSantis was strong in the polls. | ||
| But it's become apparent in just the last two months how real that was. | ||
| And I'm talking about my criticism of this. | ||
| DeSantis, basically since he has announced, has only gone down. | ||
| Like, gone down in the polls. | ||
| In my opinion, even become somehow less relevant in the conversation. | ||
| Like, think about that. | ||
| He wasn't even announced. | ||
| He wasn't even in the race. | ||
| And he was more, as far as I could see from where I'm sitting, he was more talked about then than he is basically every day since he announced. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Somehow. | |
| And the fundraising has suffered, and basically everything has suffered. | ||
| And the latest story today is that he can't even get his donors to show up to a fundraiser, which he was scheduled to hold three of them in the Hamptons this week. | ||
| He had to cancel every single one of them after discounting the prices by half. | ||
| And this is a story from Politico. | ||
| That's his quote. | ||
| Ron DeSantis grabbed two Hampton fundraisers last weekend due to a lack of interest. | ||
| Meanwhile, rival Donald Trump and upstart candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. | ||
| raked in massive piles of cash, according to sources from On The Money. | ||
| The tale of the three fundraisers shows DeSantis' hopes for snaring the Republican nomination are quickly fading as Trump dominates the GOP field and RFK Jr. | ||
| gains momentum. | ||
| This weekend broke DeSantis' campaign, said one political fundraiser. | ||
| I don't know anyone who went, said a long-time fundraiser, Carolyn Wren. | ||
| She said George Santos could have pulled off a better fundraising swing in the Hamptons than Ron DeSantis did in the last weekend. | ||
| As on the money previously reported, DeSantis had cut in half from $6,000 per person down to $3,300 per person, the price to attend the July 20th fundraiser in Southampton. | ||
| But despite being discounted and heavily promoted, and with New York Republican groups sending email blasts the day before the event, attendance was underwhelming, said a source with knowledge of the campaign. | ||
| Big money backers like Ken Griffin and Stephen Schwarzman stayed away altogether. | ||
| Worse yet, the campaign canceled plans for two other events because they just could not find people to host them. | ||
| The DeSantis experiment is dead, said one source. | ||
| Donors aren't coming to his events because they don't see any return on investment. | ||
| The DeSantis campaign did not reveal how much the Florida governor's foray into the Empire State raised, and representatives for the campaign did not return a request for comment. | ||
| So we held one fundraiser and no big money people showed up. | ||
| Attendance was underwhelming and it was so bad they had to cancel the remaining two fundraisers. | ||
| Again, that's even after they cut the ticket prices in half. | ||
| This is just the latest. | ||
| This is the news from today. | ||
| Last week he cut his campaign staff significantly. | ||
| He fired at least 10 people. | ||
| And they say that they're having to cut back on major expenses like private jets and hotel stays and other things. | ||
| They also say that they're completely changing the playbook. | ||
| They said that... And it's amazing. | ||
| I don't even understand how they think they can say this And not telegraph that they're in freefall. | ||
| There's representatives from the campaign that say, well, we're shifting our focus to small events and media. | ||
| That's what they're saying. | ||
| That's from the campaign! | ||
| They're saying, well, basically we recognize it isn't working, we recognize we're failing, so we're cutting all our spending, we're running an insurgent campaign, which means low budget, and we're going to do much, much smaller events and media. | ||
| And, like, I'm not a political person, but to me, that's a white flag. | ||
| That says, like, we can't get a crowd. | ||
| We can't get a crowd, we can't get donors, so we're gonna cut all our spending because we're not bringing in any money, and we're gonna shrink our events because we can't get any crowds. | ||
| And so this campaign is basically, like, over before it even started. | ||
| I don't know, because a lot of them, I read what they're saying, And they're saying things like, well it's still very early, we're not going to cast a single ballot until January, February next year in the Iowa caucus, that's seven months away, that's an eternity in political time, and blah blah blah. | ||
| It's like, but what is going to happen between now and the Iowa caucus, which Is fundamentally different than what happened between his announcement and today that is going to change the state of the race. | ||
| I don't understand what tricks can they pull out of their sleeve at this point. | ||
| The debates? | ||
| Donald Trump might not even show up to the first or any Republican debate. | ||
| What is it precisely that they're going to do? | ||
| Because basically every single thing they're doing isn't working. | ||
| They tried this big announcement, this big eclectic new announcement on Twitter with Elon Musk, and as you remember it was an absolute flop. | ||
| The website launch was a flop, campaign video, the Twitter space was a flop. | ||
| He's been doing media appearances and basically everything that you can cut, it's all bad. | ||
| When he talks to the press it's bad. | ||
| They ask him how he pronounces his name and he says, I'm a winner. | ||
| And everyone mocks him. | ||
| He goes to Japan and they ask him about his bad poll numbers and he melts down. | ||
| He's crying. | ||
| He's on Fox News the other week and they say, okay, like you're just getting shit on. | ||
| You're getting destroyed in the polls. | ||
| He's on the verge of tears. | ||
| He goes to a bar. | ||
| He goes to a fast food restaurant like a Dairy Queen. | ||
| He's serving people food. | ||
| He's awkward. | ||
| He's uncomfortable. | ||
| He goes to a diner. | ||
| Somebody introduces themselves. | ||
| He says, okay, and then goes to somebody else. | ||
| Like, everything the guy does, he fails at. | ||
| Every single thing, whether it's with the press, friendly or unfriendly, whether it's these kinds of folksy Meet and greet type things, the small rallies, basically everything he's done just hasn't worked. | ||
| And I don't understand what, as I said, what will happen in August or October or whenever between now and the Iowa caucus is going to change that. | ||
| Because that, I mean the that there, is that this candidate sucks, like he's not a good candidate. | ||
| He has no charisma, no personality. | ||
| At the end of the day, there's just no reason for him to exist. | ||
| And I went into this a lot earlier in the year. | ||
| I said, the problem with DeSantis is that he, at once, really the only case that can be made for him is something like this. | ||
| He is not Donald Trump. | ||
| And so all the people that reject Trump for being too extreme or being too provocative are going to get behind DeSantis. | ||
| Like, that was really the idea. | ||
| Trump without the baggage. | ||
| Trumpism without Trump. | ||
| Without the mean tweets, without the polarizing rhetoric, without the drama of the legal problems and The White House, which was turned into knives out, everybody fighting each other and writing their tell-all books and testifying and things like that. | ||
| So the appeal was something like reaching out to Republicans that were disaffected by Trump. | ||
| The problem is, though, there aren't enough of those people. | ||
| There just aren't enough of them. | ||
| Trump is at least commanding half of the party. | ||
| And that's the minimum. | ||
| That's the floor. | ||
| But his support could be as high as 80 or 90 percent within the party. | ||
| So Ron DeSantis, the only appeal that he has is to people that are not on the Trump train, which is a majority of the Republican Party. | ||
| So he's in this position where at once he has to appeal to the anti-Trump moderates. | ||
| Basically a lot of center, center-left type people. | ||
| People that specifically don't like Trump because he's too right. | ||
| But at the same time, the only way that DeSantis can win is by peeling off Trump's base, and the only way to peel off Trump's base is to appear further to the right than Trump. | ||
| And so I think I was one of the only people to clock this early on. | ||
| You have this... | ||
| Bipolar appeal. | ||
| Where at once, DeSantis has to appeal to the never-Trumpers, the anti-Trumpers that don't like Trump because he's too far right. | ||
| At the same time, he has to appeal to die-hard Trump supporters by saying that Trump is too far left. | ||
| So, and we've seen this in the campaign. | ||
| On the one hand, he's going out there and doing this above-it-all civility bullshit. | ||
| To appeal to a Bill Kristol or one of these other faggots like George Will, who is the scourge of the planet Earth. | ||
| At the same time, he's pushing an advertisement that says that Trump is too pro-gay. | ||
| And that Trump isn't a culture warrior. | ||
| He's not a conservative or a right-wing enough in the culture war. | ||
| And these things are diametrically opposed. | ||
| On the one hand, he's looking for the pretty small percentage of Trump's base that is so far right, they're criticizing Trump from the right. | ||
| Which would be guys like me. | ||
| Which would be guys like the Groipers. | ||
| It'd be like a very young, niche thing. | ||
| And outside of that, it's a sliver of the GOP majority where their beef with Trump is that he's not right-wing enough. | ||
| And then at the same time winning over or trying to win over people that don't like Trump because he's just too much. | ||
| Too much baggage. | ||
| He leans into the conflict too much. | ||
| It's a completely bipolar strategy and one is at odds with the other. | ||
| You can't win over the far-right people who are going to criticize him for Pandering to Ken Griffin? | ||
| And you can't win over Ken Griffin by pandering to people that think that Trump isn't anti-gay enough. | ||
| Like, and that's just not gonna work. | ||
| What's more, his biggest problem is that Trump defines the race. | ||
| It is a one-man race. | ||
| It is a one-man primary. | ||
| It is actually also a one-man general. | ||
| And this was, I think, my groundbreaking insight. | ||
| Many people were looking at this incorrectly as a two-man race. | ||
| They said, it's Trump versus DeSantis. | ||
| But that's never what it was. | ||
| Because there is no positive DeSantis movement. | ||
| He barely even had the same name recognition. | ||
| People don't even know who he is. | ||
| If you looked at the favorability, if you looked at even the head-to-head polling months ago, on a national level, people don't even know who DeSantis is. | ||
| So, back then, people were saying, well, voters are going to have to pick between Trump and DeSantis. | ||
| But there's no pitch to say we want a DeSantis vision for the country or a DeSantis this or that. | ||
| It was always DeSantis as being the avatar of anti-Trump grievance or anti-Trump criticism. | ||
| But it wasn't so much positive for DeSantis so much as it was negative, a negation of Trump. | ||
| There were Trump people, pro-Trump people that are going to vote for Trump no matter what, and then there was a sizable number of people who were never going to go for Trump and then some who could be swayed, maybe some who could be persuaded. | ||
| But it was all, don't kid yourself, it was all orbiting around the idea of Trump. | ||
| For or against? | ||
| And if you're against, it's going to be DeSantis. | ||
| If you're against, it's going to be one among the field. | ||
| It was a one-man primary. | ||
| Just like it's a one-man general, like in 2020. | ||
| 2020, in the same way, was not Trump versus Biden. | ||
| There are very few Democrats that really believe in Biden. | ||
| That's why people thought, one of the reasons why people were so assured that there was voter fraud, Because according to the numbers, Biden is supposed to be the most popular president ever in American history because he got more votes than any president ever. | ||
| He's the highest vote-getter in the history of presidential politics. | ||
| And people said, really? | ||
| 80 million voters affirmed Joe Biden? | ||
| No! | ||
| The most that you could say if you believe that is that 80 million people rejected Trump. | ||
| It was 80 million that negated Trump. | ||
| They didn't say yes to Biden, they said no to Trump, which some might say is the same thing and it's a subtle difference, but it isn't. | ||
| So 2020, the general was not pro-Trump or pro-Biden, it was pro-Trump or anti-Trump, which happened to be Biden. | ||
| In the same way it will be like this in the 24 general, it is the same way in the 24 primary. | ||
| It's pro-Trump or anti-Trump. | ||
| And the problem with DeSantis is he's not the only non-Trump candidate. | ||
| There's like seven others. | ||
| And although they don't have enough support to be competitive, they have just enough support between all of them to significantly subtract from the not-Trump vote. | ||
| Because if it was Trump versus, if it was literally a two-man race, it would be maybe like 55 to 45, or maybe it would be 60 to 40. | ||
| That's what the numbers would be. | ||
| If it was head-to-head, And voters had to pick, and there were no other options, or maybe one other option, if they had to pick at the Iowa caucus, and the New Hampshire primary, and the Nevada caucus, between Trump or DeSantis, you know, DeSantis would pose a real threat. | ||
| He would amass delegates, and he would have leverage at the convention, and he might be able to deny Trump the nomination. | ||
| Like, that would have been possible. | ||
| But when Vivek has 7, and Haley has 5, and Pence has 5, and Tim Scott has 5, and Asa Hutchinson has 3, and so-and-so has 2, that all adds up to like 20 very quickly. | ||
| It adds up to 20-25%. | ||
| In a race where Trump has 53, and DeSantis has 19, and all the other non-Trump candidates have 30, you know, 25 to 30, you could see why This not being a two-man but rather a one-man race makes all the difference in the world. | ||
| Because in other words, the 50% of the Republicans that support Trump support him no matter what. | ||
| But the people that don't like Trump, well they're a little bit more undecided. | ||
| It's a bit more decentralized. | ||
| So Trump has all of his 50, but anti-Trump, that 50 is split between seven people. | ||
| And therefore, it denies any one of them a decisive amount of support. | ||
| I said that at the beginning, and the numbers are bearing that out even till today. | ||
| And probably, all of these people will remain in the race until at least the Iowa caucus. | ||
| Granted, some may drop out before, but Vivek? | ||
| He's gonna make it there. | ||
| And he's gonna make it there with 10% support. | ||
| And Mike Pence, most likely, Nikki Haley, they will make it to Iowa. | ||
| Tim Scott will make it to Iowa. | ||
| I would imagine at the minimum 3 out of the 4 of them will make it to Iowa with between 5 and 10% support. | ||
| So at the minimum they're going into Iowa with 15% that they're taking from DeSantis that would never vote for Trump, but yet are not voting for the only one that could be competitive against Trump. | ||
| And that's just the math. | ||
| What's more is DeSantis has never positioned himself as the true anti-Trump candidate. | ||
| If he wanted to win, he would be attacking Trump. | ||
| That's the only way he can. | ||
| And I'm sure in his mind he thinks that getting into the gutter with Trump is going to turn off the people that support him over Trump. | ||
| Or maybe it would alienate would-be DeSantis supporters that could be scraped from Trump, but would be alienated from him if he directly attacked their number one choice or someone they like very much. | ||
| But unless he makes the bold and audacious move of making his campaign about Trump, he's not going to get the press he needs. | ||
| And what's more, he is never going to formulate a true argument for himself A positive argument for himself as a candidate. | ||
| Why it should be me over Trump. | ||
| Because otherwise, you know, what's the campaign even about? | ||
| Trump is going out there and saying, look, I am the martyr. | ||
| I am the voice. | ||
| I am the vengeance. | ||
| Vote for me. | ||
| I have become the avatar of your grievance against the world. | ||
| Like, how do you compete with that message? | ||
| Tested conservative. | ||
| A tried-and-true record. | ||
| A tested, battle-tested conservative. | ||
| Like, it just doesn't work. | ||
| Trump is going out there and saying, like, I am the sacrificial lamb. | ||
| I have been put up, and not to be blasphemous, but in a, you know, In a rhetorical way, in a literary way, he's putting himself up there and saying, I am the representative. | ||
| I am your stand-in. | ||
| I'm the sacrificial lamb. | ||
| I'm the one who's being crucified. | ||
| And I'm you. | ||
| And it is this civilizational inflection point, and my personal struggle is at the center of it and is representative of it. | ||
| And then DeSantis comes up on the stage and is like, well I'm not gonna get into any of that. | ||
| I've got a tested, tried-and-true record as a conservative governor. | ||
| And it just doesn't work. | ||
| So the only way that he could really get in that conversation and pitch himself is to address the elephant in the room and say, it can't be Trump. | ||
| It has to be me. | ||
| It's imperative that it's me. | ||
| He has to attack Trump from now until... and I don't want him to do this because I want him to lose but if he wanted to win that is what he would have to do is attack Trump every day because then the press would cover it and he would be able to make the case and break off support from the Trump supporters and that kind of thing and it would be it would be risky it would be very bold like there's no guarantee that that would work | ||
| But if he's going to win, that's the only way he's going to win. | ||
| But he refuses to do that. | ||
| So that's the state of the race with DeSantis and Trump. | ||
| It doesn't look like it's going to happen for DeSantis. | ||
| It looks like it's over before it even started. | ||
| And anyone who was there for 2016 could have predicted this. | ||
| Anybody. | ||
| Because the exact same thing played out with Jeb Bush. | ||
| Literally the exact same thing. | ||
| Jeb Bush being the governor of Florida with the tested record, but no charisma, and a fucking loser, and wouldn't get in the gutter. | ||
| You know, he was too above it all to play politics, yet getting raped by politics. | ||
| It was the same story with Jeb Bush. | ||
| He was leading in the polls in June 2015. | ||
| He was leading the polls for the entire first half of that year, until Trump came in and dragged him out by his hair. | ||
| And it was similarly true of Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, and it was true to a certain extent of Rubio, the senator from Florida, even I would say Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas. | ||
| It was the same exact story in 2016. | ||
| All these people that had all this hype around them, but ultimately they were weaker. | ||
| They were just worse politicians. | ||
| And anyone who watched Trump defeat one after the other, from Jeb, to Rubio, to Kasich, to Cruz, to basically just gun down and defeat every single one, with nothing other than pure political instinct, anyone could have seen this coming. | ||
| I mean, people out there, again, they learned nothing from 16. | ||
| There were these political idiots out there Who really, in their heart of hearts, believed that, like, DeSantis was going to be on the debate stage with Trump and be like, erm, actually, you didn't do that, sir. | ||
| You didn't do that when you were the president. | ||
| And Trump was going to be like, oh, I just, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, they really thought that was going to happen. | ||
| And I don't know how anyone who had seen footage of DeSantis Before in their life and then seeing footage of Trump. | ||
| I don't know how anyone could have Realistically thought that was gonna happen. | ||
| But yet these political people are so fucking stupid and and completely out of touch That they actually thought that is how the race would play out in 24 they really thought that DeSantis was there was gonna be this big momentum and swell of support and That all these voters that constitute the base were gonna say, Erm, thanks but no thanks, Trump. | ||
| We've had enough of your drama. | ||
| We want a tried and true conservative leader with a proven record to lead the great American comeback. | ||
| You know, in other words, instead of suppor- Like, this is how ignorant Republicans are about their own base! | ||
| They thought the Republican base Instead of supporting a 6'3 fucking billionaire with his name on a plane who is brash and was the president and everything, instead of supporting him, they were gonna say, erm, no thanks. | ||
| We want a gay nerd. | ||
| We want a gay nerd policy wonk who is going to break down trade policy for us. | ||
| And that just tells you how ignorant Republican leadership is and how they have no idea who their voters are. | ||
| Go to a Trump rally. | ||
| Talk to the voters there. | ||
| They watch Fox News for crying out loud. | ||
| The Republican base currently is out there buying dozens of tickets to a movie about human trafficking because they think AMC theaters Is preventing them from doing so by turning off the AC. | ||
| This is the base. | ||
| The base goes to monster truck rallies in Indianapolis. | ||
| They go and watch school buses crash into each other. | ||
| They go to WWE Monday Night Raw. | ||
| They thought the vaccines were magnetic. | ||
| They thought that Sound of Freedom is people are shutting out Moviegoers from attending it by making the theaters too hot. | ||
| They... They are currently downloading and playing on repeat a stupid country song. | ||
| That says, try that in a small town. | ||
| Try, oh, BLM being mean to cops and beating up old ladies? | ||
| Try that in a small town. | ||
| Like, this is the base! | ||
| And people thought that instead of, like, an icon, television, Fox News star, they're gonna side with a fucking gay nerd who is gonna teach them about policy. | ||
| Only Republican leadership could be so naive and so stupid that they would believe the Republican base would vote for that over a television star. | ||
| I mean literally vote for a guy who played a business executive on a reality show and on Fox News. | ||
| Like, what are you lost? | ||
| What are you new here? | ||
| Are you one of the aliens? | ||
| And I know I'm belaboring the point, but let's see. | ||
| It's a guy that plays a New York business executive on reality TV and Fox News, or this gay nerd. | ||
| And who are they gonna vote for? | ||
| How out of touch do you have to be? | ||
| You know, but they would say, oh, but the suburban women. | ||
| The suburban moms. | ||
| DeSantis is gonna win with suburban moms. | ||
| Yeah, nobody else. | ||
| He's gonna win with old women and nobody else. | ||
| How about this Mamas for DeSantis? | ||
| You see that? | ||
| Oh my gosh. | ||
| Like, it reminds you how much politics sucks without Trump. | ||
| They had Ron DeSantis' wife, who we all have to pretend is pretty. | ||
| She's going out there. | ||
| And in Iowa, she's doing Mamas for Trump, where they have all these moms show up. | ||
| Mamas? | ||
| Or, I'm sorry, Mamas for DeSantis. | ||
| Mamas for DeSantis? | ||
| I'm a mama for what the fu- You know, so that's one campaign, and then you have Trump go up there at a fascist rally and says, THE DEATH PENALTY FOR EVERYBODY! | ||
| You know, and like the crowd in a stadium cheers. | ||
| And people ask me why I support Trump. | ||
| You have DeSantis' wife going out there, Mamas for DeSantis, ooh, oh my gosh, are you a mama? | ||
| Do you support DeSantis? | ||
| You know, and then Trump goes out there in a fucking stadium, and just, every day, death penalty for more and more people. | ||
| Death penalty for drug dealers, death penalty for child traffickers, death penalty for Anyway, so we're really spoiled. | ||
| God bless Trump. | ||
| DeSantis, going down the tubes like we always knew he would. | ||
| He just never had it in him. | ||
| And I feel bad. | ||
| He's Italian. | ||
| He's Catholic. | ||
| You know, I relate to him in that way, but... You know, he's going up against the Aryan king of America, which is Trump. | ||
| I mean, the rightful king, but... Anyway, that's the DeSantis campaign. | ||
| I want to get on into the aliens. | ||
| And like I said, the... | ||
| The big story today is that they held a hearing in Congress about these UFOs. | ||
| I think it's the first time they've held a real congressional hearing on this where the DOD presented all their evidence and people are under oath testifying. | ||
| And it's very bizarre. | ||
| There's been a crescendo of UFO talk over the years where it becomes more and more mainstream and legitimate. | ||
| It's being affirmed by the Pentagon. | ||
| It's being affirmed by the news media. | ||
| And they're talking about it in a very serious way. | ||
| In a way that they never have before. | ||
| For a long time they never addressed it or they swept this under the rug. | ||
| And just like in the last three or four years the UFO talk has been Legitimized for some reason by the government and by the media and so this is part of this trend today They did a hearing and this is from the New York Times. | ||
| It says quote The House of Representatives convened a landmark panel on unidentified anomalous phenomenon or UAPs known more colloquially as UFOs on Wednesday In the most serious acknowledgement yet that mysterious sightings deserve scrutiny at the highest levels of government. | ||
|
unidentified
|
U.S. | |
| lawmakers were not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing. | ||
| We're just going to get to the facts, said Republican Tim Burchett. | ||
| Over the course of two hours, three witnesses shared their encounters with objects that defied physics and told of pilots afraid to speak up, biological material recovered from crafts, and alleged retaliation against whistleblowers. | ||
| All acknowledged that anomalous phenomena were a potential national security threat. | ||
| The hearing produced no serious bombshells, nor a confirmation of alien life, but the fact that the witnesses received a major hearing before Congress was notable in and of itself. | ||
| Lawmakers and witnesses alike used the panel to demand greater transparency around UAPs from the military. | ||
| At one notable exchange, Nancy Mays, a South Carolina Republican, asked Mr. Grush to elaborate on what he knew about non-terrestrial bodies. | ||
| She asked him if biologics were recovered from any crafts retrieved by the government. | ||
| Referencing his previous media interviews, he responded that biologics came with some of these recoveries. | ||
| Ms. | ||
| Mace asked if they were non-human or human. | ||
| He said they were non-human. | ||
| And that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program that I talked to, he said. | ||
| During a different line of questioning, he confirmed he had never personally seen an alien body. | ||
| Witnesses also called for an official reporting process for military personnel or members of the public to report unexplained sightings. | ||
| Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, said, quote, we need a system where pilots can report without losing their jobs. | ||
| And so, you know, this is the one thing I don't really have an answer for. | ||
| I have no idea why they're pushing this. | ||
| And it is being pushed. | ||
| It's being pushed by the Department of Defense. | ||
| It's being pushed by intelligence. | ||
| There have been these kinds of reports coming out, trickling out for years. | ||
| And when you scrutinize the source, it always comes from the intelligence community. | ||
| It invariably comes from intelligence or defense. | ||
| Now, you might say that that is to be expected, because those with knowledge of classified national security secrets, well, they would come from that world. | ||
| By the same token, if they came from intelligence and from defense, that means they're working for the government. | ||
| And so, just the same that you could say intelligence and defense officials know what they're saying they know what they're talking about they would be in the know just as easily you could say they are the ones that would be lying to us they would be the ones that if if there was uh some sort of effort to misdirect the public and for whatever reason convince them that aliens exist for some other purpose it would come from | ||
| Defense and intelligence officials on the payroll of the government. | ||
| So, to me, that's always been very suspect. | ||
| Beyond that, there's obvious problems with this, which is that if there is evidence of aliens out there, then why is it only, and people have said this before, why is it only these grainy videos from the government? | ||
| It's 2023. | ||
| There's cameras everywhere. | ||
| Everyone has a camera phone now, which wasn't the case 20 years ago. | ||
| And there is surveillance cameras everywhere. | ||
| Ring doorbell cameras. | ||
| Satellites, allegedly. | ||
| It's everywhere. | ||
| So, at this point in time, 20 years into this technological revolution, wouldn't there be some clear footage of something anomalous happening? | ||
| It wouldn't be a grainy or ambiguous footage. | ||
| It wouldn't have to come from a classified government worker. | ||
| And then what's more, why is it just the United States that's conducting these hearings? | ||
| Where are the hearings on extraterrestrial life from Russia, from China, from Europe, from any other country other than us? | ||
| If there is extraterrestrial life, why does it only come around the United States? | ||
| And why is it only the United States government that ever sees it? | ||
| And why is the footage always so bad? | ||
| So there's big logical problems here with the case for aliens. | ||
| And I've never believed in aliens. | ||
| Is it possible there's aliens out there? | ||
| I think it is. | ||
| And, you know, I don't know what the ramifications would be for our theology, but I suppose it's possible. | ||
| You know, I wouldn't rule it out necessarily. | ||
| But as far as evidence of an alien civilization contacting us or visiting us, I mean, to me, there's far more compelling evidence when you look at the Great Pyramids or when you look at ancient civilizations. | ||
| To me, that's more compelling evidence that there was an advanced civilization from here or on this planet or maybe from somewhere else but a long time ago. | ||
| Then to say that there was that there's some sort of Advanced civilization visiting us from somewhere else today based on the level the little evidence that we have With all that being said you have to ask yourself if this is something that's being pushed Clearly by our government and it's something that when scrutinized the logic doesn't make sense You have to ask yourself why they're doing this like what's the point? | ||
| Why is the government pushing this alien hoax? | ||
| And I know that some people have said it's to get more funding for the Pentagon, but that has never made much sense to me because the Pentagon always secures more funding every year. | ||
| For decades, they've secured more and more funding. | ||
| I don't know if there was every year when defense spending went down since the beginning of the Cold War. | ||
| And if there was, it recovered very quickly. | ||
| We're close to $900 billion per year on military after we've wound down the war in Afghanistan, after we've wound down the war in Iraq. | ||
| And it's nearly a $900 billion defense budget this year. | ||
| And this is notwithstanding the $200 billion in aid we're giving to Ukraine, and it's also notwithstanding all the money we spent on COVID stimulus, all this other deficit spending which isn't military but is nevertheless government appropriations. | ||
| And so, the government doesn't need an alien invasion to justify more spending. | ||
| They could justify it no matter what. | ||
| Have they even asked for more spending yet? | ||
| What's really the end game of the alien stuff? | ||
| Because to me, it could be, sometimes it is as simple as delusion. | ||
| I mean, we always have to leave room for the possibility that they think there are anomalous phenomena. | ||
| Maybe they really think that. | ||
| Maybe the military really believes that. | ||
| And maybe Congress really wants to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| I tend to think that that's not the case, but that's always possible. | ||
| And then so if it is being pushed, and if it's not for something like money, then clearly it's gotta be something deeper. | ||
| I think if they wanted more money, they could just fake terrorism. | ||
| It'd be easier to fake another ISIS, or fake a cartel war, or fake a cyber attack, or something more tangible than it is to fake alien disclosure. | ||
| Which would lead me to believe that this alien disclosure talk is about something deeper than raising money. | ||
| It's about changing attitudes. | ||
| It's about, you know, if we persuade people that aliens exist, it changes the paradigm completely. | ||
| This is a different understanding that human beings have of the entire universe. | ||
| That we've had for thousands of years, that we're not alone, that there's these more sophisticated beings out there. | ||
| And so is there some sort of ulterior motive? | ||
| Is it creating a new age religion? | ||
| Is it about killing Christianity? | ||
| Is it about uniting humanity behind a global government? | ||
| Is it about uniting the United States behind some objective? | ||
| Is it some sort of diversion? | ||
| But it is such a strange thing and such a dramatic form of psychological warfare that it would lead me to believe that it's a very ambitious thing they have in mind. | ||
| In other words, if they want to raise more money, they would do something predictable. | ||
| If it was about, I don't know, something else, it would be more of what we've seen. | ||
| But introducing aliens? | ||
| That is such a dramatic twist. | ||
| It leads me to believe that they are after something extremely ambitious. | ||
| Because, you know, if they could fake a pandemic, To shut down all the businesses and shut down trade and do this, that, and the other. | ||
| You know, they could get away with a lot with a conventional threat like a bioweapon or a biological hazard. | ||
| So, what is so audacious? | ||
| What goal do they have that is such a That is such a big ask that they would need something as outlandish as aliens to get people behind it. | ||
| If they could get people behind shutting down the economy for a year because of a virus, what are they trying to do with aliens, you know? | ||
| Like... | ||
| It's a much more out there threat, which would suggest then that the ask, the Patriot Act, the 9-11, the stimulus to the COVID pandemic, what is the emergency measure which would be analogous to an alien disclosure? | ||
| That's what scares me. | ||
| So anyway, so that's the UAP hearing. | ||
| Unfortunately, we're short on answers. | ||
| Because to me, it's still a mystery. | ||
| But that's that. | ||
| I want to move on. | ||

| So I would put it in definitely the top five American cities. | ||
| Chicago, New York, LA, Vegas, Miami would probably be my top five. | ||
| I don't like New York City that much though, because I think it smells bad. | ||
| And it's very big and the businesses are very small. | ||
| I've never lived there, granted, but... And I haven't spent a ton of time there, but I never loved New York. | ||
| But I would consider Miami on that tier of American cities and I love the vibe down there. | ||
| The vibe is great. | ||
| LA vibe is great. | ||
| Miami vibe is great. | ||

| But as I get older, I feel like... | ||
| Life is short. | ||
| Don't take yourself so seriously. | ||
| Now me, I have to not drink because one, addiction runs in my family, and two, I have to be 100% disciplined. | ||
| If I got drunk and fucked around, it would be ruinous to the kinds of things I'm doing. | ||
| And also, I'm obsessive. | ||
| Like, you know, there's a lot of reasons I don't drink, but I would say to other people, lighten up, you know? | ||
| You turn 21, have a good time. | ||
| Sometimes I wish I could do that. | ||
| Sometimes I wish that I could go and get drunk and just be carefree and have a good time. | ||
| I'm mature enough to recognize that I have a duty, I have obligations. | ||
| You know and I would never I don't have any um that doesn't have any draw on me it doesn't tempt me I'm not like one of these people that you're gonna see in 10 years that's like oh you know I was so um I was so repressed and so uptight and everything, and now that I'm having a midlife crisis, now I'm gonna go and be a wild man or something. | ||
| That's just not me. | ||
| I have no temptation to drink. | ||
| I have no temptation to do those things. | ||
| But sometimes I do think about, it would be nice to be able to have a night you know and just kind of let loose you know and and get drunk and and get lost somewhere whatever uh and i think if if you can do that i think you should if you have the luxury of doing that if the stakes aren't very high for you why not you know life is hard | ||
| If it's your 21st birthday, you know, go out with your friends, be responsible, but have a good time. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I feel like that lately, but in general I'm very against alcohol, and I'm very against any kind of drug use or cigarettes, and I don't know if I'll ever engage in any of that, but... And I generally encourage people to stay away from that stuff, but as I get older, I'm like, you know, Would a glass of wine kill you? | ||
| Going to a party, would that kill you? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So. | |
| Anyway. | ||
| It was interesting because there was a time when I was considering drinking. | ||
| I had a friend who was a very bad influence on me a couple years ago. | ||
| And he was always pushing me, you gotta drink, we gotta drink, like it's all about alcohol. | ||
| And that was the only time I ever really considered it. | ||
| And then once that guy got cut out of my life, I never thought about it again. | ||
| And it just goes to show you really gotta pick your friends right. | ||
| And I'm talking of course about Judas. | ||
| He was always pushing alcohol on me. | ||
| Very weird. | ||
| Literally pushing it in my fucking face. | ||
| To the point where I'd be like, I'm gonna knock that out of your fucking hand. | ||
| You know, he was always pushing alcohol, wanted me to drink. | ||
| He would drink alone in his apartment by himself. | ||
| He would get drunk by himself and fucking cry about how he's lonely. | ||
| And he'd always be pushing that on me, like, we have to drink together, you gotta drink with me, we gotta go to bars, like, you gotta try alcohol, whatever. | ||
| And that was the only time where the peer pressure kinda got to me. | ||
| I was like, well, everybody's doing it, maybe. | ||
| Am I being silly? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Uh... | |
| But once he got removed, I never thought about it ever again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, it just goes to show. | |
| But anyway, happy birthday! | ||
| Hope it's a good one, man. | ||
| Hey listen, lighten up, Francis, okay? | ||
| Lighten up. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Have a good time. | ||
| Have a good party. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| He was trying to rape you. | ||
| I legitimately think he was. | ||
| I legitimately think that he was trying to get me drunk so that he could try to make a pass at me. | ||
| I mean, I really do believe that because clearly he's like obsessed with me in a weird way. | ||
| And the freak is like, he's like in love with me. | ||
| He's a total freak like that. | ||
| And I bet he was always pushing alcohol on me because he thought You know, if I had some sort of impaired judgment, he'd be able to rape me. | ||
| He wanted to fucking rape me, dude! | ||
| Gross! | ||
| If he tried to rape me, I would kill him. | ||
| If he tried to rape me, I would fucking shoot him in the face. | ||
| But that's what he was trying to do. | ||
| He was trying to rape me. | ||
| And, uh... | ||
| Anyway, so close call. | ||
| He was like, him and his ilk, they're like John Wayne Gacy. | ||
| Him and Victor Sharpe, they're like a pedophile mafia. | ||
| It's Milo Hanrahan, and it's Victor Sharpe, and it's Judas. | ||
| They're in this gay pedophile mafia. | ||
| And they were all trying to rape me. | ||
| Every single one of them. | ||
| Victor Sharpe was trying to rape me. | ||
| He was trying to get me... You remember he was super chatting, saying you should do a dance in a skirt or whatever. | ||
| I'm like, what the fuck? | ||
| Judas trying to get me to drink. | ||
| Trying to fucking kiss me. | ||
| Milo trying to offer me Percocets. | ||
| And, you know, forcing me to stay in a hotel room with him and everything. | ||
| Like, these are three... This is like a gay rape mafia. | ||
| So, anyway. | ||
| Very freakish stuff, but happy birthday my friend. | ||
| Hope you have a good one. | ||
| Enjoy. | ||
| Get lots of presents. | ||
| Oh really? | ||
| Maybe aliens are demons? | ||
| I've never heard that one. | ||
| I've never heard that before. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That's a really interesting point. | ||
| You know, I've never... | ||
| In all my years of doing this show, I've never heard someone say that aliens are actually demons. | ||
| That's a hot take that is so esoteric that I've never fucking heard that before. | ||
| You're the first one to tell me. | ||
| Did you come up with that by yourself? | ||
| Is that an original idea? | ||
| Please, tell me more, because I've never heard that. | ||
| Science has started to explain things we already knew from the Bible. | ||
| Maybe alien is simply a different name. | ||
| Wow! | ||
| Oh my gosh, what an intelligent... Oh my gosh, I've never heard that before. | ||
| What a novel take. | ||
| You are really a profound thinker because I never have considered that and I never heard anyone else ever say that on the internet. | ||
| That's crazy. | ||
| You came up with that all by yourself? | ||
| You are so smart. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Dude. | |
| Sorry, but like, I knew that was coming when I was going to do this show. | ||
| I just hate when people obviously steal something and then try to pass it off like, you know, like they know what they're talking about or something. | ||
| You heard that on the internet. | ||
| I know because I heard that on the internet. | ||
| And you're gonna come in and say, oh, alien, niggas are saying, I was about to drop the N word. | ||
| People are out there saying, uh, aliens are demons- hot take! | ||
|
unidentified

I'm a schizo, aliens are demons! | |
| Shut the fuck up. | ||
| Shut the fuck up. | ||

| And guess what? | ||
| It's not that deep. | ||
| Bro said aliens are demons. | ||
| I've never heard that before. | ||
| Suzy sent $33. | ||
| As a Catholic, do you think praying to Mary or any saints makes sense? | ||
| How is that not idolatry? | ||
| There is a lot I like about Catholicism, but that never made sense to me to pray or confess since to anyone else but God. | ||
| Big fan of the show. | ||
| Thanks for all that you're doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, listen, man. | |
| Idolatry means you believe that something is God. | ||
| No Catholic believes that Mary is God. | ||
| No Catholic believes that saints are God. | ||
| Therefore, it is not idolatry. | ||
| And so, when you say, you know, praying to the saints means that's idolatry. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So, when people go out and put out a prayer request, they say, hey, pray for me. | ||
| Thoughts and prayers, is that idolatry? | ||
| If you go to me and say, Nick, can you pray for my parents? | ||
| That means you think I'm God? | ||
| You think that's idolatry? | ||
| Why would anyone pray for anyone? | ||
| It's no different. | ||
| And, And then the other thing about confessing sins, this is in the gospel, this is biblical, that the apostles have the ability to bind and loose sins. | ||
| And of course, it is up to God to forgive the sins, which you have to confess them to a priest. | ||
| And on behalf of God, a priest absolves you, but the forgiveness comes from God ultimately. | ||
| So, you know, the problem with this, I only confess my sins to God. - Yeah. | ||
| I mean, in some sense, that is what we're doing when we confess to a priest. | ||
| Without the sacraments, however, which Protestants like to deny, you know, they don't like, they don't believe in the transubstantiation, they don't really believe in baptism, they don't really believe in any of these things. | ||
| They think that they're traditions. | ||
| They think that they're traditions, they think that they're man-made, or, you know, they're created. | ||
| Created by men rather than timeless or created by God. | ||
| The problem without the sacraments, we see what happens. | ||
| Which is that it's the slippery slope where when people don't actually have to go and confess it to a person, do people ever really confess at all? | ||
| Are they ever really sorry? | ||
| If you don't have to go, because for Catholics, it really makes you conscientious of your sins, because you go to Mass, and in order to get the Eucharist, which is something we have to do at least once a year, in order to receive the body and blood of Jesus, which is how we're saved, we have to be in a state of grace. | ||
| In order to be in a state of grace, we have to go to confession. | ||
| We have to go to confession at least once a year. | ||
| And so when you're a Catholic and you commit a mortal sin and you have to go, like not, hey, did you like say a quick prayer? | ||
| But like you have to go and you have to sit down and face a priest and say, hey, I did this this many times. | ||
| You have to examine your conscience and think about every single sin. | ||
| And go to a priest and say, I did this, I did this, I did this, I did it this many times, I did it this many times, I'm sorry. | ||
| You know, like, it focuses the mind on repentance. | ||
| You're given a penance, you're given a real penance that you have to deliver, real spiritual counseling, you have basically an accounting of all your sins, and in the sacrament of confession, They're wiped away, and it's definitive, and it's explicit, and it's clear, as opposed to, I believe you begin to have real problems if you're a Protestant, this like, hey God, like, sorry, is that good enough? | ||
| You know, because I know that, I know that in my life, I don't have a true conscientiousness of my sins until I go to confession. | ||
| It's not to say that I'm not aware of it, it's not to say that I don't think about it, but until you have to go into the confessional and read through systematically the Ten Commandments and all of the And you extrapolate from those all the different kinds of sins a person is committing on a regular basis, you're really just not fully aware of it. | ||
| And that way you're really, in my view, you're not fully confessing. | ||
| And therefore you're not fully repenting. | ||
| Because if it's just like, you know, you and God, and it's not, I don't mean to put that in square quotes like prayer isn't legitimate, But prayer is something that is internal and it's really on you. | ||
| And are you going to be as hard on yourself as a priest? | ||
| Are you going to, do you go to God and say in the same way the things that you would say to a priest? | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||
| But I think that the history of Protestantism shows that that's not happening. | ||
| I think that the history of Protestantism, when you lose the authority that comes from Christ, which proceeds from Peter through the succession of bishops of Rome through to the Pope, which then proceeds through the church and the magisterium, without that authority, without the sacraments and the tradition, you're without any kind of grounding. | ||
| And you start to fly away. | ||
| And ultimately, you fly away from Christ, because Christ builds the church on the rock that is Peter. | ||
| You're totally without any kind of foundation. | ||
| And so I think without those things, which, you know, as Catholics, we don't believe we just have a Bible. | ||
| We have a Bible. | ||
| We have the traditions. | ||
| We have the magisterium. | ||
| We have the sacraments. | ||
| I mean, we really have a full religion. | ||
| And when you get away from that, when you get away from Christ's Church on Earth, I think it's much easier for people to fall away. | ||
| And I think that's only been borne out over the last 500 years. | ||
| Really, the last 1,000 years. | ||
| When the Pope has been questioned, when the Church has been questioned, when people start to rely on the Bible and their own understanding of it, or they talk about, you know, well, I just talked to God. | ||
| It's like, well, You know, it all comes from God. | ||
| But God gave us the Catholic faith for a reason. | ||
| God gave us the sacraments. | ||
| God gave us the Catholic religion as a vehicle for us to believe in God. | ||
| I mean, and so people have it all wrong. | ||
| They think that Catholics worship their religion, or they worship a man-made cult, or a man-made church, or men, or whatever. | ||
| But the Catholic faith is the way that we channel our faith in God. | ||
| All of the things that we do as Catholics are meant to uplift Our faith. | ||
| They're meant to maintain our faith. | ||
| They're meant to remind us of our faith. | ||
| All of those things, the rich traditions, they all have a reason. | ||
| And, uh, they're all meant to sanctify. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... Anyway. | |
| But, confessing to a priest goes back to the Book of Acts. | ||
| It goes back to the Gospel. | ||
| It's even if you're one of these, you know Protestants that only believes in the Bible. | ||
| It's biblical you know, there's a biblical basis for a priest to forgive sins and Just on a practical level to me. | ||
| That's why a confession makes sense. | ||
| I think anybody realizes it's it's just Accountability, it's just basic human nature if you have to go to somebody and tell them your sins We all know that's a different experience than telling it to the mirror it is a fundamentally different experience to sit down and face somebody and | ||
| And tell that confess your sins Than it is to you know to roll out of bed and look up at the sky and say, you know, sorry Not to knock it, you know, you should pray and you should pray For forgiveness and you should repent and ask for mercy in your prayers But we have the sacraments for a reason we have confession for a reason So there's a reason that the priest mediates | ||
| You know, God... Jesus gave us a church. | ||
| He didn't give us a Bible, He gave us a church. | ||
| Now, the Gospel's part of it, but Jesus left us with a church for a reason, which is to administer, basically, the faith. | ||

No. | |

| Absolutely not. | ||
| That is totally different. | ||
| You don't even know what you're talking about. | ||
| I mean, did you even watch my review of Barbie? | ||
| Joker was not the same at all. | ||
| about postmodernism makes it hard to find any media unaffected by this deconstruction perspective. | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| That is totally different. | ||
| You don't even know what you're talking about. | ||
| I mean, did you even watch my review of Barbie? | ||
| Joker was not the same at all. | ||
| At all! | ||
| Now, the most you could say about Joker is that it was a little bit preachy. | ||
| But Joker had a real... it was a story about a character. | ||
| It was a character study. | ||
| It was about a character. | ||
| And it was about the man against the society. | ||
| And there was an internal logic to it. | ||
| You know, it was a little bit... It's a movie, so... They took their liberties. | ||
| There were parts that were a little bit silly, where they had to build in this mythology of the Joker character. | ||
| But it was a character study. | ||
| And it had an internal logic, you know. | ||
| The suspension of disbelief was maintained. | ||
| And the most that you could say is that the rant he goes on at the end of the film is a little bit too on the nose. | ||
| It's maybe a little bit too... | ||
| It's a little bit too explicit. | ||
| But I think it works within the context of the film. | ||
| And like I said, the most you could say is that it's maybe a little too preachy. | ||
| But otherwise, it fits. | ||
| Barbie was completely different. | ||
| Barbie had no internal logic. | ||
| doing this winking the whole time breaking the fourth wall like you know the the writers didn't even attempt to make characters or attempt to to even make a story or attempt to make this fantasy world even make sense um and it wasn't even fun or anything like i said the character stand-ins for I don't know. | ||

| It is just kind of scary thinking of everybody telling the priest their dirty little secrets when the priest is a corruptible man just like anyone else and could use that dirt for exploitation. | ||
| They can't do that. | ||
| It's protected by law. | ||
| Like, a priest cannot break confidentiality. | ||
| And if you're worried about that in the confessional, there's a veil. | ||
| Like, you can go and do a face-to-face confession, or you can do a confession behind a screen. | ||
| So... And honestly, they don't care that much. | ||
| Like, that's really kind of like a... You have to let go of that a little bit. | ||
| Do you think your priest really cares? | ||
| You know, if you're just some Joe Schmo and you go in there and you're like, uh, you know, hey, like, uh, I jerked off last week or something, do you think your priest is like, oh boy, you know, Joe Schmo who works at Walgreens, I just learned! | ||
| Now, I know that everyone has their sins and everything, but, um, you know, I don't even think that's really a problem for most people. | ||
| And if it is, there's a screen. | ||
| So... And if you're not Catholic, maybe you don't know that, but you could go in and there's a screen. | ||
| Or go to a different church. | ||
| You know, go to a different church and tell somebody that you don't know that well. | ||
| You know, tell a priest you don't know. | ||

So... And by the way, if you can't trust a priest, you know, who can you trust? | |
| If you can't trust a priest, I mean people go and tell their therapist these like think about this people go and tell their therapist their deepest darkest secrets Or even a best friend for that matter But the thought of telling a priest oh, you know suddenly people get very uncomfortable, and it's like well You know if you could tell your lawyer | ||
| Secret if you could tell a therapist a secret if you could tell your doctor a secret I mean we because when you think about it, we tell people embarrassing things about ourselves all the time now Probably my audience doesn't go to therapy But how many people do you know that a thing that a wicked therapist holds your secrets against you? | ||
| I've never heard of such a thing, you know or a doctor, you know, you have an embarrassing medical condition How many times have you heard of a doctor? | ||
| spilling the beans on somebody or something or Or a lawyer breaking confidentiality about law breaking. | ||
| Very rare. | ||
| And I've almost never heard of that. | ||
| But when it comes to a priest, you know, then people say, well, I, you know, I don't know. | ||
| It's like, what does a priest really have to gain with something like that? | ||
| I think that's more I think people are apprehensive about confessing their sins French Catholics as I was reading I was raped as a child. | ||
| Good enough for a therapist. | ||
| I sinned. | ||
| Not good enough for a priest. | ||
| Exactly. | ||

So. | |
| Weren't the fallen angels and Satan jealous of humans for having bodies? | ||
| Why would demons have physical alien bodies, Lamau? | ||
| Yeah, it just doesn't work. | ||
| That theory just doesn't make any sense. | ||
| Okay, Groyper Warrior with a big super chat. | ||
| Says it's Nick or nothing. | ||
| Thank you very much for the big super chat. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks for supporting Cozy. | ||
| We got a couple more here. | ||
| Dante's sent $10. | ||
| What do you make of Mel Gibson thinking that the church was ruined with the Vatican II? | ||
| Well, a lot of people think that. | ||
| And I just disagree. | ||
| I think they're just wrong about that. | ||
| I feel like that's a form of Protestantism. | ||
| I'll say that the Contests will deny this. | ||
| But it just is. | ||
| Like, if you as a layperson say, well, I don't think this is the legit pope, you're a Protestant! | ||
| Like, how is that different than the 95 Theses? | ||
| How is that different? | ||
| I mean, are you not a layperson? | ||
| Going to the door of the church and saying, like, these are my problems with Vatican II. | ||
| This cannot be the real church. | ||
| It's like, that's Protestantism! | ||
| And they're like, no, no, no. | ||
| It reminds me of, like, you know, you talk to some of these born-again Christians or evangelicals and you say, are you a Protestant? | ||
| And they say, no, I'm a Christ follower. | ||
| It's like, oh, you're Catholic? | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay, you're a Protestant. | ||
| No, man. | ||
| I'm a Christian. | ||
| I'm a Christ follower. | ||
| You're a Protestant! | ||
| You know, like, I feel the same way about say days. | ||
| They get so triggered when you say that. | ||
| I'm like, oh, so you're a Protestant. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| We're the real Catholics. | ||
| Oh, really? | ||
| You believe in the Pope? | ||
| No. | ||
| Oh, it says who? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, well, me. | |
| Me, I say that, or, you know, Lefebvre said that. | ||
| Oh, okay, well, Bishop Lefebvre have succession from St. | ||
| Peter? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No? | |
| Okay, so I mean, I don't know. | ||
| That kind of sounds like being a Protestant. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they get really... | |
| They're like, I'm not a Protestant! | ||
| I did that on True Social. | ||
| Some guy was replying to me. | ||
| He's like, you gotta go to my website where I rip apart Vatican II. | ||
| I'm like, sorry, I'm Catholic. | ||
| He's like, I'm Catholic! | ||
| I'm like, listen, I'm not interested in that Protestant stuff. | ||
| I'm Catholic. | ||
| And then he was raging for like weeks before he just called me a Protestant. | ||
| Well, you know. | ||
| Sounds like a Protestant. | ||
| Sounds similar, doesn't it? | ||

| Your Barbie review was spot on. | ||
| It is a shame that it created such a rift between you and John Miller, though. | ||
| Yeah, me and John Miller are basically at war with each other. | ||
| He's going to be the latest defection. | ||
| Yeah, John Miller and the sussy squad. | ||
| There's a real factionalism breaking out. | ||
| It's Miller and Brandt and Veda and UX. | ||
| The Sussy Squad has basically expelled me. | ||
| I didn't like Barbie enough. | ||
| And so now the Sussy Squad says, you know, you can't be in the Sussy Squad anymore. | ||
| You're not sussy enough. | ||
| You didn't like Pink Trink enough. | ||
| You didn't like Barbie enough. | ||
| And I'm like, come on, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| Like, I'm just as Barbie as the rest of you. | ||
| And they're like, no, sorry. | ||
| Not good enough. | ||
| And so, I mean, we're taking steps to avoid an all-out war, an all-out civil war between the Sussy Squad, which really wields so much influence, and, you know, the America First Kruipers. | ||
| The normal chads. | ||
| I think there's a war breaking out here, so... It is a shame that the Barbie movement has caused these tensions, but, you know, that's how it goes sometimes, I guess. | ||
| But I'm standing strong. | ||
| Barbie sucked. | ||
| Anyone who disagrees, you're absolutely wrong. | ||
| And, you know, I'm not gonna walk that back. | ||
| No matter what they threaten me with. | ||
| Okay! | ||
| That's our last Super Chat. | ||
| That's gonna do it for me tonight. | ||
| 4.30 a.m. | ||
| already? | ||
| I gotta go to bed. | ||
