But as soon as people start playing games, I stop. | |
| I stop playing games. | ||
| And at any moment, I can kick that game. | ||
| I stop playing games. | ||
| And people don't realize what they have. | ||
| And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain. | ||
| Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket. | ||
| We haven't got the country we had when I was raised. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| Nobody will have the fun I have. | ||
| Nobody will have the opportunity I have. | ||
| It's just not the same. | ||
| Jesus is the way and the life and the King of Israel. | ||
| We just leave with love. | ||
| We're really at a crossroads here. | ||
| Look around here. | ||
| It's drag queens in schools. | ||
| It's 18-year-olds joining OnlyFans. | ||
| It's the filth on TikTok. | ||
| It's this country not having a border. | ||
| It's the idea that our kids and we, this generation, are never going to own anything. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| Never making an income to support a family. | ||
| Never being able to have a family. | ||
| People being corrupted before they're even a teenager by things on their phone. | ||
| Sick addiction to technology. | ||
| The future is so bleak. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But... | |
| That has changed the calculation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God is using me. | |
| He's breaking me down. | ||
| Removing all of the, you know, richest person, all of this, so I can serve him. | ||
| I think they've been extremely unfair to you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who is they, though? | |
| You can't tell who they is, can we? | ||
| There is no future if we do nothing now. | ||
| There is nothing to lose. | ||
| People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have are foolish. | ||
| It's all going. | ||
| It's all going away. | ||
| This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted. | ||
| We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated. | ||
| And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see. | ||
| People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing. | ||
| People have got to start to get courageous. | ||
| And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country. | ||
| And the alternative is that there will be no country. | ||
| Is it really only as big as low gas prices? | ||
| Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down? | ||
| It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better. | ||
| It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ. | ||
| My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue. | ||
| It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see. | ||
| And then finally, a point of no return reckoning. | ||
|

|
Why are you called Mommy Malcolm? | |
| I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement. | ||
| America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. | ||
| These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Believe me, it's for their benefit. | |
| My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now. | ||
| My soul and exclusive mission is to go to work for you. | ||
| It's time to deliver a victory for the American people. | ||
| We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again. | ||
| So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight. | ||
| I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Saying to me is like, this is probably pretty cool for you. | |
| I'm like, yeah, it is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am with you. | |
| I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever. | ||
| A new droiper war. | ||
| I am with you. | ||
| I will do this shit for my brothers. | ||
| We will do this shit for each other. | ||
| The courageous fallen. | ||
| The anguished fallen. | ||
| Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them. | ||
| And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us. | ||
| I am with you. | ||
| Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world! | ||
| My soldiers push forward! | ||
| My soldiers scream out! | ||
| My soldiers rage! | ||
| We can't go back to the past. | ||
| That's what people always say, isn't it? | ||
| They say, "Can we really go back?" The answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left wing, the answer is no. | ||
| We're never going back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's gone. | |
| It's gone. | ||
| All of that is gone. | ||
| But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead. | ||
| Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived. | ||
| Jesus Christ is our present now. | ||
| and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth. | |
| Come on. | ||
| We love everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we want people that can burn really more than anybody. | |
| But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world. | ||
| Our movement is to make this country a Christian country. | ||
| The mission is to create a Christian future in our time. | ||
| The only way we're gonna do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do. | ||
| The only way that we're gonna make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian. | ||
| It's the only way. | ||
| We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ. | ||
| We have to want it more than they do. | ||
| Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will. | ||
| We'll be back with every weekend. | ||
| Now you see the world from the deep end. | ||
| You say that I'm bad, but I'm crazy. | ||
| This, I'm big up, I'm big up. | ||
| On them diamonds, girl you see these diamonds. | ||
| Girl you see this shit, you know I'm different climbers. | ||
| How I got this damn, got it cause I ain't tryin' richer than they family, richer than they memories. | ||
| Hold it up, where you at the club? | ||
| Hold it up, where you had that gun? | ||
| Pull up by side, pull up on them. | ||
| Now I got this bag on hash, on them. | ||
| I'm straight out of these diamonds, I'm straight out of these lights. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| How you gon' serve these bills? | ||
| How you gon' serve these lights? | ||
| Yeah, turn up at my show, at least just do it right. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| We go out all night. | ||
| You gon' serve me big, gon' serve me big, gon' serve me big, gon' serve up all night. | ||
| I'm gon' serve my dream, you gon' serve my cup, you gon' serve me all right. | ||
| They had a feeling, they had a rock on the back and they jump with the blocks up tweaking. | ||
| We got no good signal, you put it by sight of you, out of your mind, you crazy tweaking. | ||
| I'm out of my lane, bad in my mind, I'm really, but out of my tweaking. | ||
| Know that you lovin' these lights, you lovin' this world, we runnin' it back every weekend. | ||
| Shuddy, love with me every time I know, you're a shablee. | ||
| All y'all drunk inside this life's that world, y'all get to runnin' back up every weekend. | ||
| Now you see I'm run off on the deep end. | ||
| You say that I'm bad for no reason. | ||
| But I'm raising all in this, I'm bigger, I'm bigger. | ||
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. | ||
| Lawrence, I found something really interesting. | ||
| In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire Americans. | ||
| But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them. | ||
| I cannot support this. | ||
| And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this. | ||
| It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants. | ||
| And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country. | ||
| Ask yourself this. | ||
| If not Donald Trump, if not now, then when? | ||
| So they may say mass deportations. | ||
| They may say illegal immigration. | ||
| It's not enough. | ||
| It's not enough. | ||
| And Americans need to get used to saying that. | ||
| Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves. | ||
| Telling us it's good enough. | ||
| We need to hear the words immigration moratorium. | ||
| No more immigrants. | ||
| No more. | ||
| Not since he announced his reelection campaign in November 2022 have I told anybody to vote for Trump. | ||
| When pushed for details on the policy, clearly. | ||
| They're repeating the same script as every other Republican, and they show that they're really not serious about mass deportations. | ||
| For that reason, I actually don't believe that illegal immigration will fall to historic lows. | ||
| And this is your America First policy. | ||
| We need the people. | ||
| We need limitless green cards. | ||
| And by the way, once they come in, you can't deport them. | ||
| So people, when confronted with this reality, first they said it was a throwaway remark. | ||
| They said he didn't really mean it. | ||
| Well, he's doubled down on it many times. | ||
| He doubled down on it in June, August, last week. | ||
| Now they say, well, so what? | ||
| Even if he means it, he said it last time. | ||
| No, he didn't. | ||
| Last time he was against H-1B visas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, you thought you were going to tap? | |
| The screen to pressure Trump, except one problem, Elon owns the platform. | ||
| But now the check marks are being removed, which means people are being de-amplified, and it's being manipulated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're manipulating the conversation. | |
| And Elon retweeted today, or reposted, Trump saying in June, staple the green cards to the diplomas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's a reminder, hey, this is what we got. | |
| This is the deal. | ||
| I put in 277. I bought the platform for you. | ||
| I made Trump win. | ||
| And now Trump's going to deliver. | ||
| And if you're against it, well, there goes your checkmark. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you voted for him, you are a sucker. | |
| I expect apologies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want apology forms. | |
| I want you to... | ||
| I'm sorry, Mr. Quentis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I should have supported Groy for War II. Some | |
| of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given. | ||
| Together, we have the same mission. | ||
| Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair. | ||
| You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted, but you have. | ||
| To put your head down and fight, fight, fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Never, ever, ever give up. | |
| Don't give in. | ||
| Don't back down. | ||
| And never stop doing what you know is right. | ||
| Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. | ||
| And the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. | ||
| In your hearts. | ||
| Are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion. | ||
| Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action. | ||
| America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers. | ||
| When the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, they prayed. | ||
| When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked Our Creator four times. | ||
| Because in America, we don't worship government. | ||
| We worship God. | ||
| It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust. | ||
| And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God. | ||
| The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble Beginnings. | ||
| The next generation of American leaders. | ||
| Never, ever give up. | ||
| There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit. | ||
| Never quit. | ||
| Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you. | ||
| Carry yourself with dignity and pride. | ||
| Demand the best from yourself. | ||
| The more people tell you it's not possible, that it can't be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. | |
| Relish the opportunity to be an outsider. | ||
| The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, The more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You must keep pushing forward. | |
| And always have the courage to be yourself. | ||
| America is better when people put their faith into action. | ||
| Pray to God and follow His teachings. | ||
| Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well. | ||
| When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit. | ||
| You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say. | ||
| You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts. | ||
| And to express the love that stirs your souls. | ||
| As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God, then you will not fail. | ||
| As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To be continued... | |
| May God bless the United States of America. | ||
| And I just want to let you know that God blesses you. | ||
| And I want to just say you are special in every way. | ||
| God bless you and God bless America. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you so much, everybody. | |
| Can I just say, are you trusting Brian? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people. | ||
| The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself. | ||
| The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. | ||
| For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind. | ||
| Our campaign represents a true existential threat. | ||
| Like they haven't seen before. | ||
| This is not simply another four-year election. | ||
| This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we, the people, reclaim control over our government. | ||
| The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration. | ||
| And economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry. | ||
| The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world. | ||
| It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. | ||
| This is a struggle for the survival of our nation. | ||
| And this will be our last chance to save it. | ||
| This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged. | ||
| This is reality. | ||
| You know it, they know it, I know it, and pretty much the whole world knows it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The thing that said, take a look at what happened. | |
| These are people who work hard, but no longer have a voice. | ||
| I am your voice. | ||
| I am your voice. | ||
| Don't sit yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't like this. | |
| I didn't like this. | ||
| who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken. | ||
| They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women. | ||
| But they're going to find out the hard way. | ||
| They will find out like never before. | ||
| This nation belongs to you. | ||
| Belongs to me. | ||
| It was patriots like you that built this country. | ||
| And it's patriots like you that are going to save our country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To all of those who think that they can coerce and subjugate the citizens of this land, hear these words from me tonight. | |
| The people of America will not surrender our borders. | ||
| We will not surrender our culture. | ||
| We will not surrender our faith. | ||
| We will not surrender our We are done with their distorted visions for America. | ||
| It's time to start talking about greatness for our country again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We want our country to be great again. | |
| We want our country to be respected. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The time for action has come. | |
| As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that we deserve. the respect that we deserve. | ||
| We want our country to be respected. | ||
| 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 here with you tonight on Monday. | ||
| We have a lot to talk about tonight, lots to get into. | ||
| Big show, our featured story tonight, we are going to be talking about the tariffs. | ||
| I swear, this administration, as much as I hate to admit it, it's moving so quickly, the show can't even keep up with it. | ||
| Friday, we were going to talk about the threat of a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada, 10% on China. | ||
| And they went into place on Saturday, two days ago. | ||
| This is three days ago the threat was made. | ||
| This was two days ago the tariffs went into effect. | ||
| We were supposed to talk about it Friday. | ||
| We ran out of time. | ||
| Plan to talk about it today. | ||
| Well, it is now Monday, three days later, and it's over. | ||
| The tariffs are going to be postponed. | ||
| There's going to be a temporary pause for a month because Mexico and Canada already made a deal. | ||
| And so the tariffs are not going into effect right now. | ||
| They're being deferred. | ||
| It was supposed to be, like I said, 25 on Mexico, 25 on Canada. | ||
| There were some special provisions within that. | ||
| 10% on Canadian energy, for reasons we can get into during this show. | ||
| The threat was made Friday. | ||
| The tariffs came down Saturday. | ||
| By this morning, a deal had already been made. | ||
| And the tariffs really did not even take effect. | ||
| And so we'll talk tonight about how that happened and what the deal is. | ||
| The whole thing I think everybody understands is maybe not what it seems to be. | ||
| There are some ambiguities about this little episode. | ||
| And I don't think it's anything sinister necessarily. | ||
| But clearly there is more to the story than what is being reported in the news. | ||
| And that is because in the first place these were a form of punishment. | ||
| They were used as leverage in a negotiation. | ||
| It was punitive. | ||
| Trump levied these tariffs to secure the deal that we got today. | ||
| What makes it ambiguous is what exactly is contained in the deal. | ||
| Because what they said on Friday is that this mostly had to do with fentanyl crossing over the southern and northern border. | ||
| But there's almost no fentanyl that comes from Canada. | ||
| It is not a serious issue. | ||
| And the concessions that were given from Canada was really just the continuation of a program that they had authorized in December over a month ago. | ||
| So they put in these very disruptive tariffs. | ||
| They negotiate for concessions. | ||
| But I don't think they're being straightforward about what those concessions are or maybe what they wanted to begin with. | ||
| So there is some mystery about it. | ||
| We'll talk a little bit about that tonight. | ||
| Either way, though, I support the use of tariffs. | ||
| And this is something that we were supposed to talk about Friday. | ||
| We will talk about it tonight. | ||
| However, I support the use of tariffs. | ||
| Not as a political tool, although I think that's useful, but I believe that we should have a robust across-the-board tariff system to raise money for the government and to foster economic growth in the United States, and I think that that should happen regardless. | ||
| If you want to use tariffs as political leverage, add it on top of a tariff system. | ||
| So that is my only concern because I like tariffs. | ||
| I think the tariffs are useful. | ||
| I support using them on our adversaries, allies, but I wish that they would be systematized and used in a coherent trade policy rather than just being used. | ||
| Again, to secure limited concessions. | ||
| But we'll talk about that because it looks like there may be a pathway for more in the future, certainly. | ||
| We're also going to talk tonight about a brand new arms transfer to Israel. | ||
| $1 billion in military equipment is going over to Israel, authorized by Trump, and that includes the 2,000-pound bombs, which the Biden administration would not give to Israel. | ||
| And it's interesting, it's being described in the media as an arms sale. | ||
| They're calling it a weapons sale. | ||
| A $1 billion sale. | ||
| But it's not a sale. | ||
| Because the sale is being paid for by the foreign aid that we give to Israel. | ||
| So we are buying the equipment from ourselves and giving it to Israel. | ||
| And by the way, This is on top of what many analysts believe will be another $8 billion package that may be going to Israel tomorrow when Trump meets with Netanyahu in Washington or at some other point in the future. | ||
| So they freeze all foreign aid for 60 days except for Israel, Egypt, and Jordan. | ||
| And not only do they keep the foreign aid flowing, but they're adding to it. | ||
| They're actually increasing it. | ||
| They're opening up the foreign aid. | ||
| They're loosening restrictions and adding more on top of what we are already supposed to give to Israel every year. | ||
| So we'll talk about that, too. | ||
| And it should be a pretty good show. | ||
| Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble. | ||
| Smash the like button. | ||
| Leave a comment down below. | ||
| Let me know what you think about the show. | ||
| What else? | ||
| A couple of other stories. | ||
| Not major stuff, so I don't want to spend too much time on it. | ||
| But I tweeted about this today. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| And where do you even begin with this stuff? | ||
| Honestly, I'm so blackpilled lately. | ||
| Because I really do feel like Will Smith in I feel like I'm the only one that isn't down with what's happening. | ||
| I feel like I'm the only one that is hip, that things are not exactly what they appear to be. | ||
| And here's another example. | ||
| So Joe Kent, the Green Beret CIA agent who ran for Congress twice in Washington's third district in 2022 and in 2024. As a Republican, he lost both times. | ||
| He has now been appointed by Trump to lead the National Center on Counterterrorism under the office of the Director of National Intelligence. | ||
| And Trump announced this today on True Social and said congratulations to Joe Kent, the CIA officer and Green Beret. | ||
| Who is now the head of the Center for Counterterrorism. | ||
| And if you have watched this show for a long time, you may be aware that I have an ongoing feud. | ||
| Really, at this point, it's one-sided with Joe Kent. | ||
| And that feud has driven so many of the developments in my career over the past. | ||
| Three years. | ||
| A lot of people don't even know that. | ||
| And I've told this story before. | ||
| I'll tell it again briefly tonight. | ||
| I posted it on my Telegram channel, but what better time than now to get into it a little bit? | ||
| And it will elucidate a larger point. | ||
| So if you've heard this before, or maybe you haven't heard it, it's a very important story because it shows you what is going on. | ||
| So in 2021, This was after January 6th. | ||
| I had a small group of people that I'm no longer with that were working for me. | ||
| And we plotted how we would endorse America First candidates for the U.S. Congress. | ||
| And we thought that it was vitally important that we had other people inspired by Trump, ideologically aligned with Trump, that were moving up the ranks. | ||
| If Trump left office or if Trump were jailed or banished or something else, you know, if something happened to him, that the movement would not die or retire or be exiled with him. | ||
| So we called our project America First Candidates. | ||
| And we were looking for younger, previously unknown or unheard of candidates to support using our interns and social media. | ||
| And maybe even appearances by me, using my celebrity, to get America First fellow travelers in office. | ||
| And not only could they promote an America First agenda in Congress, but also we could use them to infiltrate the government. | ||
| And by we, I mean me and the Groypers. | ||
| So I went to a friend of mine named Ryan Gerdusky. | ||
| This is in 2021. I'm no longer friends with him, but years ago I met him on a handful of occasions. | ||
| And I talked to Ryan Gerdusky, and he had been putting together a consulting firm in 2021. He was consulting with a number of candidates in those midterms in 2022. And at that time, he released a national populist newsletter, national populist book. | ||
| He seemed to be aligned with me. | ||
| So I called them up and I said, hey, is there any way that you can recommend some candidates to me? | ||
| That I should support in the midterms. | ||
| And he gave me a short list, and I'm not going to tell you everybody that was on the list, because I don't want to get anybody in trouble. | ||
| But one of the names was Joe Kent. | ||
| And I looked into Joe Kent, and I had heard good things about him. | ||
| He was supposed to work in Trump's National Security Council right before he left office. | ||
| And I got his number. | ||
| I think I got his number either from Gerdusky or Matt Brainerd, who was his campaign manager. | ||
| And I called him on the phone. | ||
| I had a phone conversation with him. | ||
| And I said, hey, I introduced myself. | ||
| I'm McFuentes. | ||
| I love what you stand for. | ||
| I said, and we're looking to support America First candidates. | ||
| We like what you say. | ||
| We like that you support Trump. | ||
| And we would like to promote your social media and send our volunteers to help you canvas and things like that. | ||
| And he said, oh, that's great. | ||
| Great to meet you. | ||
| I've seen your stuff and this and that. | ||
| And I said, look, the only thing is this. | ||
| I said, you will be asked to disavow me. | ||
| I'm pretty controversial. | ||
| I said, you could look me up. | ||
| I said, the only condition, the only thing that I ask is that you don't disavow me. | ||
| I said, because this disavowal game, if we all start disavowing each other, the right will cannibalize itself. | ||
| I said, we have to stand together. | ||
| We can't let the left determine. | ||
| Who should be allowed to have a voice on the right? | ||
| And he said, I totally agree. | ||
| I'm with you and I will never disavow you. | ||
| I said, great. | ||
| So we're on the same page. | ||
| So fast forward a year later, 2022. We're doing AFPAC 4. I'm sorry, AFPAC 3. That's my big conference that I do every year. | ||
| We're holding this convention in Orlando, Florida. | ||
| We invite Joe Kent. | ||
| He doesn't even, as far as I know, didn't even reply to the invitation. | ||
| He didn't come. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| We do the convention. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene was there. | ||
| Paul Gosar did a video. | ||
| It was a big convention. | ||
| The next day, Joe Kent goes on Twitter and says, I was invited to Nick's AFPAC. I didn't go. | ||
| And I disavow him, especially because of his views about Israel. | ||
| Who does this? | ||
| He didn't even go. | ||
| He didn't even go there. | ||
| So it's not like the media asked him for a disavowal. | ||
| It's not like it was even public that he was invited. | ||
| Nobody knew that we had ever talked before. | ||
| So this was just out of nowhere. | ||
| And again said specifically, I disavow his views. | ||
| I condemn his views about Israel. | ||
| And then he comes back in for seconds and says, I think that his focus on whiteness and Christianity He said, and it's contrary to my message of inclusive populism. | ||
| That's the word he used verbatim, inclusive populism. | ||
| And I clocked that immediately, immediately as subversive. | ||
| This is a subterfuge. | ||
| This is a subversion. | ||
| Because here is a guy. | ||
| Who comes from the national security world. | ||
| He didn't even live in the United States for 20 years. | ||
| He lived in the Middle East, in Somalia, I think. | ||
| For 20 years, he lived abroad, working for the CIA, working for military intelligence, comes back to the United States, starts putting out this America First message, and out of nowhere, disavows me. | ||
| Over Israel, over being white, and over Christian nationalism, says that he's an inclusive populist. | ||
| And the commonality that I noticed is that all of these projects from Steve Bannon, from Peter Thiel, from Tucker Carlson, from Ryan Gerdusky, they all use that label. | ||
| Steve Bannon calls himself a populist nationalist, populist nationalist. | ||
| Ryan Gerdusky wrote a book, The Populist Nationalist Movement. | ||
| That was the name of his newsletter. | ||
| Many of the Teal-backed candidates described themselves as multiracial working class populists. | ||
| There was the American Populist Union, a group called APU, which was created to replace me, or to split the difference, split right down the middle between me and the conservative establishment. | ||
| So I heard all these... | ||
| Populist, populist terms. | ||
| And then there was Joe Kent saying, my brand is not Christian nationalism, America first, etc. | ||
| It is inclusive populism, whatever that means. | ||
| Now they're calling it colorblind meritocracy. | ||
| Very similar. | ||
| And so I went on a tear and I said, you know what? | ||
| I said, this guy is infiltrating. | ||
| I said, there is a concerted effort to steer the energy of Trumpism and the voters, the Trump base, away from radicalism, away from white racial consciousness, away from Christian identity, away from actual far-right politics, and back into neoliberalism, steer it back into something else. | ||
| Inclusive populism, working class, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| But basically, it's going to be secular, it's going to be multiracial, multicultural, and they're going to be in favor of fiscal restraint, cutting taxes, cutting spending, economic nationalism, trade war with China, and beefing up national security. | ||
| And I said, you know, that sounds to me basically... | ||
| Exactly like the old GOP. That doesn't sound like Trumpism or America First or a step beyond Trumpism at all. | ||
| So I said, instead of helping Joe Kent, we're going to punish Joe Kent. | ||
| I said, this is a guy who betrayed me. | ||
| He made a promise on the phone, and this is not the first time that one of these people, these people, has broken a promise like this. | ||
| More on that. | ||
| Later, in years, you'll hear a very similar story come out in 2028 that is very similar to this, and more on that later in this decade. | ||
| But he made a promise I won't disavow. | ||
| He comes out of nowhere to hit my view on Israel, whites, and Christianity, and then offers up this inclusive populism. | ||
| I said, if we allow the GOP to steal the mantle of America first, I said, then we will be made redundant. | ||
| Then we will be usurped. | ||
| All of the energy behind this politics will be stolen and redirected and channeled into the old establishment mantra, the old establishment ideology. | ||
| So I said, instead of helping, we're going to try to sink his campaign. | ||
| So I invested a very small sum of money. | ||
| I found one of the Groyper schizos. | ||
| And we started up a website called Joe Kent is CIA. And we put up stickers and QR codes. | ||
| And we went to his events and asked him questions. | ||
| And we had a website called Joe Kent is CIA. And the basis was this guy is untrustworthy. | ||
| He comes from the intelligence world. | ||
| He comes from the CIA. He is not to be trusted. | ||
| That's not America first. | ||
| This is some sort of a plant. | ||
| When it came time for his election in November in 2022, when he ran the first time, he lost. | ||
| And not only did he lose, he lost by less than 1% of the vote. | ||
| He lost by fewer than 2,000 votes. | ||
| And it was rated... | ||
| The number one biggest upset in the entire midterm elections. | ||
| So you have 535 elections going on during the midterms. | ||
| You have 100 in the Senate, 435 in the House. | ||
| This was rated a safe Republican seat. | ||
| He was polling in the lead for the entire race. | ||
| And it was, I believe, Republican District. | ||
| It was rated the number one upset he lost by less than 1%. | ||
| And people were furious. | ||
| A few months later, January 2023. Okay, so think of the timeline. | ||
| 2021, I call Joe Kent. | ||
| I say, we're going to help you. | ||
| He says, I will never disavow you. | ||
| Great. | ||
| We don't hear from him for a while. | ||
| 2022, he comes out of nowhere in February, February or March 2022, and says, I disavow Nick's views about Israel, white identity, Christian nationalism, more inclusive populists. | ||
| I said, okay. | ||
| Over the course of the year, we run this operation. | ||
| And it wasn't very expensive. | ||
| It wasn't very laborious. | ||
| But we just got the word out that the guy is a CIA agent. | ||
| He loses by a hair. | ||
| Couple months later, January 2023, I get a call from a dear friend of mine, and she tells me that Tucker Carlson called her. | ||
| She said Tucker Carlson never calls her. | ||
| She said her only contact with him is that sometimes she's an old friend of his. | ||
| She would text him and make recommendations about what to cover. | ||
| But it was very sporadic. | ||
| And he would reply to her texts, but they weren't close, and he never reached out to her. | ||
| She said, but in January 2023, just two months later, she gets a call from Tucker Carlson, and he's asking about me. | ||
| Asking about me and Kanye, me and Ye. | ||
| Asking if I had anything to do with his mental breakdown. | ||
| Asking me if I'm a federal agent because of January 6th. | ||
| And she said it sounded like he was nervous, like he was reading from a script. | ||
| And she found it very, very strange, and she reached out to a mutual friend and shared all this. | ||
| And then I get a call from a woman named Anya Parempel. | ||
| That's Max Blumenthal's wife. | ||
| And she's calling me about a hit piece that she's writing for The Gray Zone. | ||
| The Gray Zone is Max Blumenthal's publication. | ||
| And she asked me about January 6th. | ||
| She asked me about Ye. | ||
| And she asked me about Joe Kent. | ||
| And I answer all her questions very transparently, honestly. | ||
| She didn't even really know many of the facts. | ||
| And what follows... | ||
| Is a massive three-part hit piece released over the course of a week, accusing me of everything that you can imagine, of being a bad boss to my employees, of being a federal agent at January 6th, of sabotaging Trump with Yay 24, of sabotaging Joe Kent in 2022. And the thrust of the piece is that I am deployed. | ||
| By some organization, by the government or by the left to derail the populist right in America. | ||
| Now this piece comes out and I go on my show and I go line by line and I rebut all of the accusations. | ||
| I go through everything. | ||
| But this is a massive hit piece. | ||
| It was probably 10 or 15,000 words. | ||
| It was like the length of a short book. | ||
| Then, and it gets better. | ||
| So this huge hit piece comes out. | ||
| Then a friend of mine calls me. | ||
| I think I can say who it is at this point, although I'm not going to just in case it's not okay. | ||
| But a longtime friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, calls me up and says, Yo, Nick, you got a minute? | ||
| I said, Yeah. | ||
| He said, So I am getting paid by an outfit called Influencible. | ||
| Influencible formed out of, I believe, a group called Today is America. | ||
| They have since been absorbed by another group. | ||
| And what they do is they pay influencers on the conservative side to promote social media campaigns. | ||
| So let's say a Republican congressional campaign wants to get an ad out there on TikTok and Twitter. | ||
| Then it was called Twitter. | ||
| They would go to Influencible and pay them $10,000, let's say. | ||
| And Influencible would disperse that money to influencers and say, okay, everybody, we want you to make a TikTok about this candidate and we'll pay $200 for every post that you make with a maximum of three posts. | ||
| That's sort of how it works. | ||
| So it's a firm that mediates between these like GOP organizations, candidates, and the influencers. | ||
| And it gives them contracts to promote campaigns. | ||
| So I get called by one of their influencers, a dear friend, and he calls me and says, there is a campaign that has been taken out to call you a federal agent and to share the link to the Gray Zone article, and he sent it to me. | ||
| And I'm sure you've seen the flyer. | ||
| I've posted it before. | ||
| I could post it again on my Telegram, but if you look for it, you'll find it. | ||
| And the campaign was literally called hashtag Fed Fuentes. | ||
| And it said, post the hashtag FedFuentis with the link to the article, and these are the talking points. | ||
| And I was told by somebody on the inside that somebody paid $100,000 to push this campaign. | ||
| Now, that number has not been confirmed. | ||
| The company has disputed it, but that is what somebody told me. | ||
| Either way... | ||
| The flyer was authentic. | ||
| The campaign was authentic. | ||
| And only one influencer promoted it before they took it offline after I revealed and exposed all of this on my show. | ||
| Now, it matters to understand all of the characters that are involved in this story. | ||
| Let's start with Joe Kent. | ||
| Joe Kent was in the CIA and was a Green Beret in the military. | ||
| Green Beret is military intelligence. | ||
| He lived abroad for 20 years working in intelligence. | ||
| He comes back to the United States. | ||
| He was going to be tapped to lead Trump's National Security Council. | ||
| But then, of course, Trump transitioned into the Biden administration. | ||
| Joe Kent then received $1 million from Peter Thiel. | ||
| He received $1 million for his congressional campaign in 2022 from Peter Thiel. | ||
| Kent was also promoted heavily on Tucker Carlson's show. | ||
| Tucker Carlson promoted him repeatedly then on his Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight. | ||
| Interesting connections. | ||
| Tucker Carlson, of course, who then helped Max Blumenthal write the hit piece, he has his own connections to Peter Thiel. | ||
| The Tucker Carlson Network received $15 million from a venture capital firm that is run by J.D. Vance. | ||
| The parent company is owned and run by J.D. Vance. | ||
| This was last year. | ||
| And like I said, Tucker Carlson promoted Kent on the show. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's father ran Voice of America, which is a CIA propaganda outlet for countries around the world. | ||
| Allegedly, he was turned down. | ||
| Ryan Gerdusky, who put me in touch with Kent. | ||
| Ryan Gerdusky was consulting for all of the candidates that Teal backed in the 2022 midterms. | ||
| Ryan Gerdusky also consulted, in addition to Joe Kent, he also consulted for J.D. Vance, Blake Masters, both protégés. | ||
| of Teal. | ||
| Both received millions of dollars from Teal to run Senate races in 2022. Gurdusky also consulted for congressional candidates that Teal backed in 2022. Max Blumenthal, who wrote the hit piece, his father, Sidney Blumenthal, was the hatchet man for Bill and Hillary Clinton and had been for many decades. | ||
| Max Blumenthal's Jewish and he is Israel-critical. | ||
| Public intellectual. | ||
| But that is the pedigree. | ||
| The father is Sidney Blumenthal. | ||
| These are the people that have conspired to call me the federal agent. | ||
| And think about the timeline. | ||
| I called Kent in 21 and said, hey man, we are behind you 100%. | ||
| We're America first. | ||
| Just don't disavow. | ||
| If you have to, part with us. | ||
| Just do it quietly. | ||
| Just tell us. | ||
| We won't be offended, but don't disavow us. | ||
| 2022, out of nowhere, he condemns us for my views on Israel, whites, and Christianity. | ||
| He says we're promoting this inclusive populism. | ||
| The guy's a CIA agent. | ||
| He gets a million from Teal. | ||
| Gerdusky's consulting for him, as well as Vance Masters, this guy Witt in Georgia. | ||
| Among others, I'm not going to blow up everybody's spot. | ||
| And then when Kent loses, Max Blumenthal, a dear, dear friend of Tucker Carlson, Well, he and Tucker collaborate to write a giant hit piece on me, accusing me of everything. | ||
| This was supposed to destroy my reputation, destroy my career, and they pay a company called Influensible to promote it among the Twitter influencers. | ||
| And the rumor is that Tucker was even going to do a spot about it on his show, but canceled because I started to unravel the whole thing on my show when it was going on. | ||
| And this... | ||
| Is how they operate. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| This is how they operate. | ||
| Is there anybody in this populist network that is not connected to the CIA? Anybody? | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Joe Kent is a CIA officer. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's dad ran Voice of America, which is a big deal. | ||
| He was appointed by Reagan, and he's worked for all sorts of foreign governments. | ||
| Tucker applied for the CIA. He was in Nicaragua during the Contras scandal. | ||
| J.D. Vance is the protege of Peter Thiel. | ||
| He got a job in Silicon Valley because of Thiel. | ||
| He worked for Peter Thiel at Mithril Capital. | ||
| Then when he worked for Revolution and got his own hedge fund, it was funded by Thiel. | ||
| And Vance directed his venture capital money into Teal-backed projects like Anduril, among others. | ||
| Vance gave $15 million through the Rockbridge Network and a subsidiary of Rockbridge Network to Tucker Carlson Network when he left Fox News a couple of years ago. | ||
| Then you have Max Blumenthal, the son of Sidney Blumenthal, Clinton, Hatchet Man, and best friend of Tucker Carlson. | ||
| It goes on and on and on. | ||
| And they are the ones accusing me of being the Fed. | ||
| They accuse me of being divisive, of splitting up the right, giving everybody a bad look, when they have made it very clear that their issue with me is that I'm critical of Israel, maybe too critical of Israel, that I promote white identity, explicit white identity, and Christian nationalism. | ||
| Are there any of them that are not connected to military intelligence or to the CIA? What exactly is being foisted upon us? | ||
| And now, by the way, Vance is the vice president. | ||
| Kent has been appointed by Trump, who basically named him, basically blew up his spot as a CIA agent. | ||
| He's now running the center on counterterrorism. | ||
| Peter Thiel's people are running the government. | ||
| Thiel is a CIA contractor. | ||
| What exactly is being foisted upon us? | ||
| And pay attention to some of the things that are happening. | ||
| What did they just report today? | ||
| Do you know that military recruitment is at an all-time high now? | ||
| It had been chronically low for years. | ||
| Such that it had become a crisis. | ||
| Perhaps that is why they had to lower the standards using DEI. Because nobody was joining the military. | ||
| But now that Trump has won the election, now that America's back, now recruitment numbers are soaring. | ||
| And they're actually going to have to open up new facilities for all the recruits that are joining the government. | ||
| At the same time, I posted a clip today. | ||
| When Tucker Carlson was on Piers Morgan. | ||
| And everybody lately is talking about how Tucker Carlson's dropping red pills. | ||
| He's talking about how the Israelis killed Kennedy and they bombed the Liberty and all this sort of thing. | ||
| But if you watch the Piers Morgan-Tucker interview, towards the end of it, Piers asks a very straightforward question. | ||
| He says, if you don't support giving money to Ukraine because it's not our business, And you don't care that they are our ally. | ||
| Why do you support giving money to Israel? | ||
| And Tucker goes, well, I don't support giving money to any country. | ||
| And he starts his filibuster. | ||
| And Pierce says, no, no. | ||
| But why do you support giving money to Israel? | ||
| He goes, well, I don't know. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I don't know what an ally is. | ||
| I don't know what that means. | ||
| And Pierce says, do you support America supporting Israel to the tune of billions of dollars per year? | ||
| And Tucker says, well, it depends. | ||
| It depends. | ||
| And it's a hard watch. | ||
| It's this brutal seven-minute struggle session. | ||
| Despite all the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, despite the dog whistles, despite the innuendo that Tucker always does, the fake laughter, the sarcasm, the sardonic humor, you know, despite all that, when push comes to shove and they ask point blank, okay, do you support America supporting Israel? | ||
| Do you support America supporting this war? | ||
| It's, oh, I don't know. | ||
| I don't support any of it. | ||
| Oh, well, it depends. | ||
| Something is not right here. | ||
| Something is off here. | ||
| Something very, very strange is happening in our country right now. | ||
| And it concerns all these people, all of these new CIA operatives that are now running our government. | ||
| Did we red pill the CIA now? | ||
| I mean, let's be honest. | ||
| Red pilling Marco Rubio, that was a stretch. | ||
| You know, when he appointed Rubio to be Secretary of State and people said, no, no, he's changed. | ||
| He's not short and gay anymore. | ||
| He's changed. | ||
| We red pill them. | ||
| You know, that was a stretch. | ||
| When they said that we had red-pilled Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, that was outrageous. | ||
| When they said that Bezos and Zuckerberg were funding the inauguration and they would be there, and people said, I'm sorry, wait, what? | ||
| How is this not captured by the billionaires, by the interest? | ||
| People said, no, no. | ||
| Zuckerberg started working out. | ||
| He got red-pilled. | ||
| I mean, that was outrageous. | ||
| That was pretty tough to believe. | ||
| But now, we are supposed to believe that our government, this scene being taken over by the CIA, is nothing to scrutinize because the CIA got red-pilled? | ||
| So now the CIA became, our guys are running the CIA or our guys from the CIA are running the government? | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| Is that all it takes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why? | |
| Because they like traditional architecture? | ||
| Is that all it takes? | ||
| That's all you need to say? | ||
| Hi, I'm from the CIA. I'm here to run the government. | ||
| Hang on, time out. | ||
| I feel like I should be suspicious of you. | ||
| No, no, don't worry. | ||
| Brutalist architecture is ugly, and I like traditional architecture. | ||
| Oh, well, why didn't you just say so? | ||
| Come right in. | ||
| Here's all the Treasury Department data. | ||
| Why didn't you just say that? | ||
| Here's control over the whole federal government. | ||
| I'm sorry, weren't we running against the deep state? | ||
| Wasn't that the whole point from the very beginning? | ||
| I mean, what is the deep state if not CIA officers from generational intelligence families going back decades? | ||
| What else is the deep state? | ||
| Who are we fighting against? | ||
| Oh, wait, they tell us. | ||
| We're supposed to believe that the deep state we were fighting against was not. | ||
| The CIA, not the Mossad, not the Israeli billionaires like Les Wexner or Miriam Adelson. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| The deep state we were fighting against were the black DMV workers at the Department of Education. | ||
| So when the CIA, Mossad, Hungarian embassy, Israeli compromised people, when they come in and institute a coup to take over the government, It's okay. | ||
| They're our guys. | ||
| They like traditional architecture. | ||
| And when you say, isn't that the deep state? | ||
| They say, no. | ||
| No, the deep state were those brown communists that were running the Department of Education. | ||
| It was those brown communists that were stuffing their pockets with bloated government salaries being functionaries in the federal bureaucracy. | ||
| Really? | ||
| So those people are to blame. | ||
| It's them, not the CIA, not these foreign intelligence agencies, not the compromised billionaires. | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| And more on that later this week. | ||
| But honestly, it's very shocking. | ||
| And like I said, I feel like I'm going crazy because this stuff is so in your face. | ||
| These connections are all out there. | ||
| It's all obvious. | ||
| It's all transparent. | ||
| And nobody seems to be the least bit bothered by it. | ||
| All they have to do is dangle, jingle some keys in front of your face. | ||
| And people get so distracted about what's actually happening to the country. | ||
| Are we really getting the Trump agenda from 2016? | ||
| I feel like we're not. | ||
| Case in point, look at these ICE numbers. | ||
| Two weeks into the Trump administration, we haven't had ICE numbers in days. | ||
| We haven't had ICE numbers in 36 hours. | ||
| I'm sorry, 60 hours. | ||
| We have not had an update from ICE on deportations in two and a half days. | ||
| They came into the government with a daily update on the numbers. | ||
| We mean business this time. | ||
| We are organized. | ||
| This is serious. | ||
| We're getting these people out. | ||
| We're going to post day after day how many deportations. | ||
| And the numbers were like 300, 400? | ||
| Trump said, you got to get them up. | ||
| They said, all right. | ||
| They got them up to 1,000. | ||
| And then they started falling again. | ||
| Then they couldn't get them up past 1,000. | ||
| Then they just stopped reporting them all together. | ||
| And they're changing what's on the graphic. | ||
| They're changing what time they post it. | ||
| They start missing day. | ||
| They missed a day last week. | ||
| They missed two days this week. | ||
| How long did that take for that to completely fall apart? | ||
| Two weeks? | ||
| And remember, they said day one, everything's going to change. | ||
| And I said, yeah, no, it didn't happen day one. | ||
| Everyone said, wait, it's only day one. | ||
| Just give it a little while. | ||
| Okay, well, it's week two. | ||
| How are we doing on week two? | ||
| Because so far, the number of deportations is less than Obama. | ||
| Fewer deportations than Obama. | ||
| And they haven't gotten up. | ||
| Forget about even significantly higher than Obama or multiples of Obama. | ||
| They're not higher than Obama's first term. | ||
| We're two weeks in, and they're not even posting the numbers anymore. | ||
| And I said on my Telegram, when do you think those numbers are going to go way up? | ||
| They need to be at least 3,000 per day. | ||
| Realistically, ideally, they should be 7,000 per day. | ||
| We can't get 1,000 per day. | ||
| When do you think we're going to get multiples of that? | ||
| When is that going to happen? | ||
| Because the midterms are next year. | ||
| There are massive protests in the cities against this. | ||
| The Democrats are reconstituting themselves, and they're slow. | ||
| It seems like they're still pretty disorganized, but by the midterms, they'll have figured out a message. | ||
| When do you think we're going to get many multiples? | ||
| During a midterm election, when we need to keep the House, and we need to be realistic, and we need to do what's politically right? | ||
| To keep our majority? | ||
| And when after that? | ||
| If the Democrats control the House? | ||
| 2027? | ||
| When are we going to get these mass deportations? | ||
| Or was that a false promise to trick the base into voting for this administration so that they could get what they really wanted, which is austerity, which is the contracts for their various federal contractors? | ||
| For their economic interests? | ||
| It seems very clearly that it was the latter. | ||
| But anyway, so that's that. | ||
| I mean, and obviously it's all connected. | ||
| I mean, you've either... | ||
| Let's be very clear. | ||
| There has been a sharp divergence ever since 2021 in this movement, in this Groyper movement, in the America First movement, between people who are... | ||
| Paying attention and have some conviction about what is happening, about this subterfuge, about this populist skin suiting, this populist usurpation, and people that are going along with it. | ||
| People that for personal advantage, for personal gain, or because they're just stupid, are going along with it. | ||
| That seems to be the divergence. | ||
| I mean, I don't know about you guys, but my position has not changed since I started the show. | ||
| If you go back six years ago to 2018, 2019, I was saying the same stuff about green cards, deportations, the border, tariffs, the wars, Israel, white identity. | ||
| I mean, I've been saying the same thing for nearly 10 years. | ||
| And, you know, so it's not like I had some dire change of heart or drastic change of heart. | ||
| It seems to be everybody else that has been lulled into this false sense of complacency or false sense of security. | ||
| But anyway, so that's that. | ||
| I don't want to rant the whole night, but... | ||
| You see that? | ||
| And by the way, there were people that were denying that Joe Kent was in the CIA. We called that. | ||
| We called that for what it was from the beginning. | ||
| The guy was a CIA agent running for Congress with all this very conspicuous backing saying, no, no, but he's a based CIA agent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| And we were the only ones that were paying attention back then, even to Vance. | ||
| I mean, I told people back then that Vance was not to be trusted. | ||
| Eventually, I endorsed him. | ||
| Because, you know, everybody was against me. | ||
| Everybody was against me shitting on Vance. | ||
| And, you know, he defended Marjorie Taylor Greene at AFPAC. And he called for a porn ban and other things. | ||
| And I'll admit he fooled me. | ||
| But I was the first one to say this guy was in AEI. He loved Obama. | ||
| Like, this is a very bizarre situation. | ||
| And now... | ||
| It just keeps getting weirder. | ||
| The more that we dig, the weirder it gets. | ||
| The more that we find things are not as they seem, and I'm not going to go along with it. | ||
| It would be very easy for me to go along with it like some people are, like some people are doing. | ||
| It would be very easy to just join up, but this is contrary to our values. | ||
| These secular, liberal... | ||
| Immigrant, anti-white, like these oligarchs that are running our country, these people are not aligned with us. | ||
| And yeah, arguably they're administering the government better than the predecessors, than the previous regime, but we still have to push. | ||
| This is still not a victory yet. | ||
| So there's no substitute for a true victory. | ||
| But anyway, that's that. | ||
| I do want to move on. | ||
| I want to get into our news tonight. | ||
| And our first story is about this aid to Israel. | ||
| I mean, here's another perfect example. | ||
| So last week, there was all this fanfare about how Marco Rubio's State Department had issued a memo suspending all foreign aid. | ||
| And everybody heralded this as the beginning of America First, the implementation of an America First foreign policy. | ||
| So all the foreign aid money is suspended. | ||
| And it doesn't matter whether it's needed for humanitarian reasons, military, economic reasons. | ||
| They called for a complete shutdown of the foreign aid. | ||
| Then we found out very quickly afterward that there were two exceptions. | ||
| Two waivers were given for Israel and Egypt. | ||
| No surprise. | ||
| No surprise at all to anybody that's been paying attention. | ||
| We were supposed to believe that Trump was muscling Israel. | ||
| He was muscling Netanyahu. | ||
| It would be different. | ||
| Well, that's your first sign that it's not going to be different because they gave a waiver to the number one and number two recipients of foreign aid that have the biggest foreign lobby. | ||
| And as I explained when we covered it on the show, the foreign aid to Egypt, you can really roll into the foreign aid to Israel because it's a bribe to Egypt to be at peace with Israel. | ||
| In perpetuity, that's what our foreign aid to Egypt is. | ||
| So that was the first big sign that things were not fundamentally going to be any different. | ||
| Now today, there's a new story that actually we're giving a weapons transfer to Israel. | ||
| Not only are we not ending the foreign aid, we're increasing the foreign aid. | ||
| And this is a story from antiwar.com. | ||
| It says, quote, The deal includes 4,700 1,000-pound bombs worth more than $700 million, | ||
| $300 million worth of armored bulldozers, which the Israeli military will use to demolish homes and infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank. | ||
| The request for the new arms transfer. | ||
| It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington and set to meet with President Trump at the White House on Tuesday. | ||
| He is expected to push for U.S. support for Israel to restart its genocidal war in Gaza instead of fully implementing the ceasefire. | ||
| The Journal report said Netanyahu is also expecting Trump to push ahead with an $8 billion deal that Biden notified congressional leaders about in early January. | ||
| The report said some Democrats in Congress put a hold on the massive sale and that the Trump administration is now pushing Congress to unblock it. | ||
| The $8 billion deal includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters as well as artillery shells. | ||
| The administration also released a hold on a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. | ||
| Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal. | ||
| To get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire. | ||
| Trump's envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he's pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is fragile as Netanyahu does not want to implement the second phase. | ||
| So we now learn that the ceasefire, which went into effect a day before Trump was inaugurated, was only agreed upon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Partially. | |
| It's a three-phase deal. | ||
| It is supposed to point towards a permanent ceasefire, permanent cessation of hostilities and end to the war in Gaza. | ||
| We're now learning that Netanyahu only agreed to the first part, to the first out of three phases, which is 32 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a temporary ceasefire. | ||
| We're also learning new details, which is that Trump promised Israel up to $9 billion in weapons transfers, including attack helicopters, bulldozers, etc. | ||
| He promised to clear all of that through Congress to make the deal, which Netanyahu is expected to break. | ||
| He's coming. | ||
| Well, he's already here. | ||
| He's in Washington to meet with Trump tomorrow to push for Trump to open up all that aid. | ||
| And to allow him to keep fighting the war. | ||
| And by the way, we know that it's going in that direction because Trump has said in the Oval Office that the war will not end. | ||
| He said it's out of his control. | ||
| He said it's Israel's to finish. | ||
| And he said repeatedly that Israel should push all the Palestinians out of Gaza and into Jordan and Egypt. | ||
| Jordan and Egypt said, we're not taking the people. | ||
| Trump said, yeah, you are. | ||
| Today, a consortium of five Gulf countries came out with a statement and said, no, we are not taking the people. | ||
| Now Netanyahu and Trump are going to meet tomorrow. | ||
| Now you're going to see what this was all about and for whom since the very beginning. | ||
| People were really under the impression coming into January. | ||
| It's honestly the naivete, the stupidity. | ||
| It is shocking that people seriously thought Trump receiving $230 million from the Israel lobby, every Zionist from Bill Ackman to Ben Shapiro to Jacob Helberg to Netanyahu himself, all of them falling in line behind Trump and Vance for Trump to win in 2024, and they thought Trump was going to pull the Uno reverse card on his first day in office? | ||
| Actually, You're not going to get the settlements. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Actually, we're turning the tables. | |
| Now you're going to make peace with Iran and Palestine and everything's going to be okay. | ||
| Who believed that? | ||
| Who fell for that? | ||
| Who really thought that it was that simple, that it was just over after that? | ||
| Obviously, it's not. | ||
| Because again, people hinge this argument on the deal that was made by Steve Whitcoff. | ||
| They never agreed to a permanent ceasefire. | ||
| They agreed to this fully intending, and by the way, saying publicly that they have guarantees when they resume the fighting later in the year. | ||
| Netanyahu and the other members of the coalition said, it's okay. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| We're going to break the agreement in 60 days. | ||
| They said, we have got guarantees from the administration. | ||
| They will back us when we reopen the fighting. | ||
| Later on in the year, when they get a refill, when they go and get rearmed by the United States, after Trump takes office, after Congress is sat, after they do their appropriations, and Israel gets $9 billion worth of munitions, helicopters, fighter jets, bulldozers, missiles, bombs, artillery, shells, then they're going to pick up the fighting again. | ||
| And it was obvious from the start. | ||
| So nobody can argue at this point, although I'm sure that they will, that this is anything other than business as usual. | ||
| There were reports that were disputed last week. | ||
| People said Trump is considering withdrawing from Syria. | ||
| He's offered the withdrawal. | ||
| Reporter asked Trump about it in the White House. | ||
| Trump said, I don't know what you're talking about. | ||
| I never said that. | ||
| He said, we're looking at it. | ||
| You take all of it together over the past two weeks of the presidency. | ||
| You take it all together after the past nine months, ten months, whatever, since about June. | ||
| It was so clear that we were headed in this direction, but it's either a willful ignorance or it's some sort of cover-up about what's really going on inside this administration. | ||
| So we will see. | ||
| The big question is what happens tomorrow. | ||
| Tomorrow is Trump's first meeting with a foreign leader. | ||
| It is Bibi Netanyahu of Israel, which is so funny. | ||
| You know, Marco Rubio, his first call as Secretary of State, Netanyahu. | ||
| Trump's first meeting after getting inaugurated with a foreign leader, Netanyahu. | ||
| John Thune, first call after becoming the Senate Majority Leader a couple months ago. | ||
| First call, Netanyahu. | ||
| Things are different, they say. | ||
| It's different this time. | ||
| Tomorrow, we'll see. | ||
| We can read the body language. | ||
| We'll listen to what's said. | ||
| There's going to be a meeting. | ||
| But I'll note that Netanyahu was the first foreign visit the first time, back in 2017. And it was interesting. | ||
| In their press conference, Trump tried to set an assertive tone. | ||
| Trump looked at Netanyahu and said, take it easy with the settlements. | ||
| He said, we don't agree, and we want you to stop doing the settlements. | ||
| And I saw that. | ||
| And I thought maybe things would be different. | ||
| And then Netanyahu authorized the biggest expansion of settlements since the 1967 war. | ||
| After Trump looked him in the face and said, stop with the settlements, Netanyahu went and expanded the settlements. | ||
| They named him after Trump. | ||
| They named the settlements after Trump. | ||
| That's what happened shortly thereafter. | ||
| So we'll have to see what happens tomorrow. | ||
| And we'll have to see if it has any resemblance to the first term. | ||
| And we'll be watching very closely. | ||
| It'll be an interesting show tomorrow because we'll get the results and maybe we'll have some idea of whether things really will be different this time. | ||
| But I'm not so optimistic. | ||
| There's some things that have been surprising, like I've said before. | ||
| Some of the personnel in the DOD. Although that's still a battle that's ongoing. | ||
| But that gives me a little bit of hope. | ||
| Makes me less pessimistic. | ||
| But when you see these statements that are coming out of the Oval Office every day about the conflict, when you see what is – it is a gathering storm in the Middle East. | ||
| Iran has rejected diplomacy with the United States. | ||
| Israel is carrying out operations in the Northwest Bank. | ||
| Trump and the Gulf countries are currently in an open dispute, although it is not receiving adequate coverage about whether there will be a population transfer of all the Palestinians out of Gaza and into Jordan and Egypt. | ||
| I don't know if people have been paying attention. | ||
| It's not on the front page. | ||
| It's not the top headline. | ||
| But there is an ongoing diplomatic dispute in the first two weeks Where Trump has said, we will force Jordan and Egypt to take all of the expelled Palestinians. | ||
| Is no one paying attention to that? | ||
| And now Trump is going to push through a giant aid package, probably using budget reconciliation. | ||
| Surely they'll be able to do it with a Republican-controlled House and Senate. | ||
| They'll bring it to the floor. | ||
| And which Democrat is going to vote against it? | ||
| Which Republican and which Democrat is going to be brave enough? | ||
| Maybe we'll get another strike from Iran that'll clear the gridlock a little bit. | ||
| So I'm a little bit anxious about what we're going to see tomorrow, and I think that is the next shoe to drop this year. | ||
| People are thinking, it's smooth sailing, it's our golden age, but you're already starting to see the cracks form. | ||
| And I don't think it's all negative. | ||
| I've been very clear about that. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| You know, for anybody that's going to accuse me of being one-sided, if you watch the show, I think I'm very fair. | ||
| I think I praise Trump when it is appropriate, and I believe that certain things will improve, but this is one area that I think people are not taking the risks seriously enough. | ||
| They're not looking at the trade-offs. | ||
| They're not paying attention to it because it is inconvenient. | ||
| Everybody wants to pretend that it's all going according to plan, and it is, but it's just not our plan. | ||
| So people are already counting out the possibility of a war with Iran and some of these other proposals, like the population transfer. | ||
| And it's too early for that. | ||
| But anyway, that's that. | ||
| I want to move on. | ||
| I want to get into the tariff war. | ||
| Like I said, this is one of the good things that Trump is doing that I actually support. | ||
| And the Trump administration, if nothing else, it is moving very quickly. | ||
| It is very dynamic, and I don't know about you, but there's a tangible feeling that things can change right now in the country. | ||
| It's hard to explain, but it felt like throughout the Obama years, throughout the first Trump and Biden administrations, it felt like nothing could or would ever change. | ||
| It felt like the West and the United States were on this trajectory, and it was going to be a slow, freezing death. | ||
| Of our country, where gradually we would be suffocated by diversity, political correctness, censorship, political persecution, like a mother smothering an infant in the crib. | ||
| We were going to be killed by this maternal nanny state, everybody's sensitivities and feelings and trigger warnings, wokeism, all that sort of stuff. | ||
| It felt like you could predict all of it. | ||
| Every day it was another black stormtrooper, another transgender Disney princess. | ||
| It was another regulation to destroy conservative nonprofits. | ||
| It was another gun grab, another white guy arrested for nothing. | ||
| It was always more of that, always increasing until the end of time. | ||
| And it felt like nothing could change that. | ||
| It felt like even if a nuclear bomb went off, even if we got hit with an asteroid, that nothing could... | ||
| Push us off of that trajectory. | ||
| And now, really in the span of a couple of weeks, I would say since Trump won the election, it feels like all of that has changed. | ||
| And credit words do. | ||
| That I do give Trump credit for. | ||
| And I think that that is a very positive, it's a very big and general and broad and universal change that is thanks to Trump. | ||
| This country feels like the Wild West. | ||
| And there's some risks that come with that, but it also feels like possibilities have been unlocked. | ||
| Like the government can become efficient. | ||
| Like the government can do things. | ||
| Like America can use its power. | ||
| We can get countries to respect us. | ||
| It feels like we can do things again. | ||
| And that, I'm grateful for. | ||
| That, I think, is very good. | ||
| And a huge part of this is the tariff regime. | ||
| Trump... | ||
| Using trade as a weapon to secure concessions. | ||
| And we've already seen that in four cases in two weeks. | ||
| We saw it first with Colombia. | ||
| Colombia refused military cargo planes full of expatriated illegal immigrants. | ||
| Trump threatened crushing sanctions that would go up to 50%. | ||
| Tiered sanctions enforced over the course of a week on all Colombian goods. | ||
| And the Colombian government crumbled in 20 minutes and said they would take the illegals with their own presidential plane. | ||
| Then today, the Panamanian government said that they would allow U.S. naval vessels to cross through the Panama Canal without charging them and that they were withdrawing from the Belt and Road Initiative, which is sponsored by China. | ||
| That's number two. | ||
| And then three and four came today, and we're going to cover that tonight. | ||
| Trump's tariff threats against Canada and Mexico have already yielded results in two days. | ||
| On Friday, Trump threatened a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico, a 10% tariff on China. | ||
| They went into effect on Saturday. | ||
| It caused major disruptions. | ||
| The crypto market tanked. | ||
| Bitcoin went down 17%. | ||
| Stock market went down basically every asset class other than gold. | ||
| By this morning, Mexico and Canada agreed to a deal with the United States to defer the implementation of the tariffs for another month. | ||
| And this is the story. | ||
| It says, quote, To postpone the imposition of hefty tariffs on goods exported to the United States. | ||
| Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after speaking twice by telephone with Mr. Trump, said U.S. tariffs on his country's goods would be postponed by 30 days as negotiations on a border deal took place. | ||
| That announcement came hours after Mexico negotiated a similar delay, agreeing to send thousands of troops to the U.S.-Mexico border. | ||
| Earlier Monday, Mr. Trump said he would likely discuss the tariffs with China's leader Xi Jinping within the next 24 hours and described the 10% tariff that he planned to impose on Chinese imports as an opening salvo. | ||
| China was still preparing its response on Monday. | ||
| Its ambassador to the United Nations, Fu Chong, said that China was filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization over the tariffs and would consider retaliatory action. | ||
| So this is what Mexico and Canada agreed to. | ||
| Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 members of the Mexican National Guard to the US-Mexico border to interdict fentanyl and illegal migrants. | ||
| They would also establish high-level working groups with US officials on security and on trade. | ||
| Canada agreed to implement a spending plan at the border, which they had already launched in December, worth $900 million. | ||
| And that includes Black Hawk helicopters and 60 drones and other technical equipment deployed at the border. | ||
| They would also, under that spending plan, bolster personnel at the border, including 10,000 frontline personnel. | ||
| and they would redouble their effort to tackle the opioid crisis by establishing a new position for a fentanyl czar. | ||
| So they have postponed the implementation of the tariffs by 30 days, and Trump said they are going to continue to negotiate on a more structured economic plan with both countries. | ||
| Now, I have two reactions to this, which I will get into later. | ||
| First, something positive. | ||
| There's two things to me that I'm not happy with. | ||
| The positive aspect of all of this is that We are now in a multipolar world that is emerging. | ||
| There is no longer one pole or one locus or source of power in the world, on Earth. | ||
| You now have major regional powers that have their own attributes like Russia and China. | ||
| You have emerging middle powers like Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Ethiopia, South Africa, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, they're conducting an independent foreign policy. | ||
| They seem to be acting more like free agents interacting with both China and the United States than they are loyal to one bloc necessarily or at least to Washington. | ||
| And so now that we are in a multipolar world where there is great power competition and conflict, The United States has to use its power to shore up its alliances. | ||
| It needs to use its economic, trade, and military power to make these other countries work for us. | ||
| Panama is in our hemisphere. | ||
| We build the Panama Canal. | ||
| We dominate trade with countries like Panama and Colombia. | ||
| If they are ceding market share, if they're ceding trade, infrastructure, dual-use infrastructure to China, That's a problem. | ||
| And countries like that can't actually have the best of both worlds. | ||
| You can't have American security with Chinese credit. | ||
| You can't have China building dual-use infrastructure and facilities in your country, which could eventually be used as military facilities. | ||
| That's what dual use means. | ||
| You can't receive Chinese credit, which indebts you to Beijing while America protects you, while America provides for your domestic and international security. | ||
| You have to pick one. | ||
| And that's, in effect, what the United States is doing. | ||
| The United States is coming to Colombia and saying, you're a major non-treaty defense partner. | ||
| We helped you secure your country decades ago. | ||
| We're still your biggest trading partner. | ||
| If you want that relationship to continue, you're not going to dump your migrants. | ||
| We came to Panama and said the same thing. | ||
| We're bigger than you. | ||
| We're stronger than you. | ||
| You have no military without us. | ||
| We still dominate trade with you. | ||
| And if you want that to continue, if your regime wants to remain in power, then you're going to give us what we want. | ||
| And I think that by itself is very positive and good. | ||
| And that is what a serious great power does. | ||
| And I think that if that attitude prevails, then America can remain a great power in this century. | ||
| And I think we should. | ||
| We're Americans. | ||
| Our children will be Americans. | ||
| And if America is a powerful country, then we will have prosperity, or at least it will be accessible to us. | ||
| So I'm a major advocate for U.S. power. | ||
| I think we should have U.S. power in the world. | ||
| I think that's a good thing. | ||
| I also think it's a good thing that we're using tariffs. | ||
| Tariffs are a great way to get what we want. | ||
| They're a way to use trade as a weapon. | ||
| It's an alternative to regime change and special operations and these NGO State Department programs like USAID, which was cut. | ||
| That's another positive thing. | ||
| And they can be used unilaterally by the president, by the executive branch. | ||
| So this is another area where the president can claw back Power and authority from the rest of the government to actually carry out a coherent national policy. | ||
| It's very difficult for the United States to function as a great power when there's so much bureaucracy and gridlock and inefficiency. | ||
| If we can have a unitary executive, if we can have just one actor, one office with one initiative directing multiple facets of the government, maybe we can actually implement long-term plans and strategies and things that maybe we can actually implement long-term plans and strategies and things that might be unpopular But if there's leadership to see them through, can deliver gains for the countries. | ||
| So I think all of that is positive, and I do think that Trump has been swift and aggressive and extremely effective. | ||
| And for that, I have to give him credit. | ||
| Like I said, four trade wars in two weeks. | ||
| And he's four for four. | ||
| We got Colombia to take the illegals. | ||
| We got Panama to a draw from the BRI. We got Canada and Mexico to come to the negotiating table and agree to some concessions. | ||
| Here are my other reactions, my other two issues with this, however. | ||
| And the first one, I've said it before on the show, and I'm not trying to nitpick. | ||
| But there's two ways that you can look at tariffs. | ||
| And there are two ways that tariffs are looked at inside the Trump administration. | ||
| There are some people inside the Trump administration who are protectionists. | ||
| Ideologically, they reject free trade. | ||
| They think that free trade doesn't benefit our country. | ||
| They think it has impoverished our country. | ||
| It has sent all the good jobs overseas, all of the production, factories. | ||
| All of the important things that we should make, the industries that make us competitive in the future, and again, the things that make our country rich with goods and with money, we're sending all of that overseas because we don't actually have a robust trade policy that's built on a careful management of balance of payments, | ||
| of bilateral trade deals and with close monitoring and consideration of these emerging sectors of the economy and advanced manufacturing and certain specific supply chains. | ||
| So some people in the administration think that we need a very active government. | ||
| We need the federal government to manage the economy. | ||
| And that doesn't mean manage the personal checkbook of every person. | ||
| It doesn't mean taxing everybody. | ||
| It doesn't mean major social welfare programs. | ||
| It means steering research and development. | ||
| We know what the technologies of the future are. | ||
| We know, therefore, which industries will make us rich in the future. | ||
| So the government should steer subsidies, investment, tariffs and import duties to protect those industries and grow those industries and foster an entire ecosystem that makes America competitive in finished products that, again, will make us wealthy in the future. | ||
| Some people ideologically believe that the government can do that, should do that, it's advantageous to do that, and tariffs are going to be a massive part of executing that policy. | ||
| That's what some people believe. | ||
| There's other people inside the administration that reject all of that. | ||
| They don't believe in any of that. | ||
| They don't believe that tariffs are advantageous or good. | ||
| They don't believe that the government should be super active. | ||
| There are many people inside this administration who are free traders. | ||
| They think that we should let the currency float, that we should let the goods and services flow across the oceans, across the borders, and we should not manage it. | ||
| They think that tariffs are only useful, strictly speaking, as leverage. | ||
| That tariffs are meant to punish a country and really act more as a foreign policy tool than an economic tool. | ||
| And they're meant to extract political concessions from uncooperative nations, like what we just saw. | ||
| And you can see the contrast. | ||
| Trump didn't come into office and slap a 25% tariff on all goods across the board coming into the United States, which would be a robust tariff trade program. | ||
| He said... | ||
| I will put a 25% tariff on you unless. | ||
| It doesn't matter what we get. | ||
| Unless. | ||
| And if you meet our demands, whatever they may be, or maybe there aren't even concrete demands. | ||
| Maybe we're just looking for something. | ||
| It's a starting point. | ||
| But if the tariffs are not being imposed, then that means they're not part of a trade policy. | ||
| They're not part of a long-lasting... | ||
| Trade policy that is meant to foster economic growth in the United States, job creation, bringing certain industries and supply chains back to our shores. | ||
| Instead, they're meant as a threat, as a negotiating tactic, a bargaining chip, a bluff. | ||
| And I support them both. | ||
| I think it is effective to use it in the realm of foreign policy. | ||
| I think it is good to use it in the realm of foreign policy. | ||
| But we also need to use it for our economy. | ||
| And I'll give you, for people that say this is just criticism for the sake of criticism, I'll give you a very concrete example. | ||
| One of the major problems that we have had in the past few years is that Mexico... | ||
| Is dumping their steel into the United States. | ||
| They are dumping huge amounts of underpriced steel into America to hurt our domestic steel production. | ||
| And this is something that the Biden administration was working with Mexico to stop. | ||
| And Mexico was letting it happen in contravention of an agreement they had previously made. | ||
| They said, we will limit the amount of steel that we send into your country. | ||
| To protect American steel and they violated the agreement and they've been dumping. | ||
| And that was not part of the concessions. | ||
| So why did Trump slap a 25% tariff on Mexico and then agree to postpone it if it doesn't address dumping steel? | ||
| That's one of the most important things. | ||
| Trump wants to make steel in America. | ||
| He wants to make other things like copper and aluminum in America. | ||
| Why would he not secure some concession or some agreement on the steel? | ||
| Why would you let the tariff go if you didn't get that as part of the deal? | ||
| And why was that not talked about? | ||
| And so they've said that they're going to put together a more structured bilateral deal with Canada and Mexico related to the economy next month when the negotiations expire again. | ||
| And so maybe it's a matter of time. | ||
| I assume that's the case. | ||
| And maybe these tariffs are a starting point. | ||
| Maybe he had to put these down because this is classic Trump as a negotiating tool in itself. | ||
| Not just using tariffs, but being willing to slap them down without even giving a concrete demand in a very unpredictable way, very swiftly, announcing them on Friday, dropping them on Saturday, causing chaos. | ||
| It's a form of pressure. | ||
| This is a form of knocking the other side off balance, shock and awe, startling them, whatever you want to call it. | ||
| I think that even doing it in this way is to reset maybe the diplomacy between America and the USMCA participants, between America and its allies, and maybe even to send a message to China to say If we're willing to do this to Canada and Mexico, we will surely do this to the European Union and China. | ||
| And we saw this eight years ago. | ||
| When Trump got into office, the first thing he did, bomb ISIS, bomb Syria, tariffs on China. | ||
| And this is his MO. This is classic art of the deal, classic Trump. | ||
| You drop a ton of bricks on them. | ||
| You blow down the house of straw. | ||
| And you reset the diplomacy so they know who they're working with. | ||
| And then maybe they're more willing to negotiate or make concessions because they've seen red. | ||
| They've seen the bleeding. | ||
| If Trump drops 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and lets the stock market tank, lets Mexico and Canada panic because it would have been major disruption to the auto industry, to the construction industry, to everything. | ||
| This would have been majorly disruptive. | ||
| Even the China tariff is still majorly disruptive. | ||
| If he's willing to do that, then they know who they're dealing with. | ||
| And maybe that's the goal. | ||
| Maybe that's part of why he did it in this way. | ||
| But I would like to say at the very beginning that if Trump does not implement a robust all-in-one industrial policy by the end of the term, I consider that a major failure. | ||
| And by a full industrial policy all in one, I mean not just tariffs and import duties, but we need research and development. | ||
| We need subsidies. | ||
| We need to actively manage investment and trade in the United States so that we can build an ecosystem that makes semiconductors. | ||
| The CHIPS Act was a good first step, but it wasn't enough. | ||
| We need to bring a lot of that stuff into our country. | ||
| And in order to do that, it requires infrastructure spending. | ||
| It requires R&D spending, subsidies, investment, as well as import duties. | ||
| There has to be all kinds of things done. | ||
| Bilateral agreements with other countries. | ||
| There needs to be a complete change in how the United States conducts its trade policy. | ||
| And I hope that this is just what Trump said, which is an opening salvo. | ||
| I hope this is just the beginning. | ||
| But it cannot just be used as an attack on other countries for the sake of a short-term concession because a lot of this just sounds like bullshit. | ||
| I mean, what Canada agreed to was something they had already put in place. | ||
| What Mexico agreed to really doesn't change anything. | ||
| It's similar to what he did in June 2019 when he used the threat of tariffs to get Mexico to secure their southern border. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| I mean, there are good concessions, but at the end of the day, they're not significant. | ||
| So he won. | ||
| No doubt about it. | ||
| He won this dispute. | ||
| But the question is, what's his endgame? | ||
| At the end of four years, where will we be? | ||
| Will it just be these concessions from a handful of countries that may expire? | ||
| The abuses will start again with the new administration. | ||
| Or is this the beginning of building a real and coherent and comprehensive industrial policy? | ||
| Because it should absolutely be the latter. | ||
| And if he could do that, that would be, in my opinion, fulfilling one of the major pillars of Trumpism. | ||
| It would be massive. | ||
| The three pillars were pulling Assad in the Middle East and reducing our footprint abroad. | ||
| ending illegal immigration and reducing immigration overall, and then industrial policy, implementing a tariff regime. | ||
| If he could do the tariff regime, that would be like one out of three major pillars, revolutionary transformative pillars of Trumpism fulfilled, manifested. | ||
| So I hope that we do see that, and I have actually more confidence that he'll do that than the other two. | ||
| I have more confidence that he'll do that than anything else because I think the leadership in the United States, the elites, I think they actually have had a change of heart because the Biden administration continued those policies. | ||
| So they must have thought they were a good idea. | ||
| Trump changed the free trade doctrine, implemented tariffs on China, EU, Canada, Mexico, really transformed things or at the minimum destroyed the free trade consensus. | ||
| Biden came in and continued all of that. | ||
| Chips Act, infrastructure bill. | ||
| Inflation Reduction Act, he actually crippled Europe to help the United States. | ||
| You can actually thank Biden for crippling the EU economy and forcing them with incentives and subsidies and tax credits and energy to move everything into the United States. | ||
| Like, if you really understand what took place after the Ukraine war, the Ukraine war increased us at the expense of the European Union, thanks to the IRA, thanks to Biden. | ||
| And that was the continuation of those Trump-era policies. | ||
| And now if Trump continues them further, that's 12 years. | ||
| And it's inadequate so far, but it's far better than what we had before. | ||
| That's 12 years of soft protectionism. | ||
| So that's pretty exciting. | ||
| Now, the second thing I was going to say is, and I alluded to it already, But I actually don't know what concessions specifically he wanted, if he wanted anything here. | ||
| For example, on Canada, one of the major concessions he extracted was a fentanyl czar. | ||
| And that Canada would interdict more drugs at their border. | ||
| But Canada is responsible for a small fraction of the fentanyl that comes over the southern border. | ||
| And I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it's quite literally like one-tenth or one-one-hundredth the amount of fentanyl that comes over our northern border that comes over our southern border. | ||
| And obviously immigration is far worse at the southern border too. | ||
| So Trump was going to put a 25% tariff on Canada, majorly disruptive, in order to get them to... | ||
| To recommit to a program they had already passed in December to interdict more drugs, even though fentanyl doesn't really come from Canada as much as it does from Mexico or from China. | ||
| So it seems that the purpose of this whole, understanding that, the purpose of this whole thing was maybe more political in nature. | ||
| Than it is, strictly speaking, economic or related to the drugs themselves. | ||
| It seems that this was more of a gesture and more of a performance than it was about the concessions in themselves. | ||
| Because if you watch the press conference, Trump said, I have no demands. | ||
| I actually don't want anything from Canada and Mexico. | ||
| He said, we're just doing it. | ||
| And then he agreed to postpone them today, really getting not... | ||
| Like I said, not addressing some of the actual trade, outstanding trade issues, but instead getting these symbolic concessions. | ||
| And so maybe the whole purpose of it was just to go through the motions to demonstrate a willingness to actually put down a major sanction or a major tariff so that going forward, Canada and Mexico might be more... | ||
| Cooperative in negotiations. | ||
| That's the only thing that I can think of. | ||
| Unless there was some other agreement made. | ||
| But I think it's more likely that it's the former. | ||
| So those are the tariffs. | ||
| Pretty good stuff. | ||
| I have to say, this Trump administration, you know me, I have my criticisms. | ||
| I'm very concerned about some things. | ||
| Illegal immigration, H-1Bs, the conflict in the Middle East, even the conflict in Ukraine. | ||
| I'm worried about our penetration of the government by the CIA venture capital people. | ||
| So I have my reservations, but what I will say is that, to their credit, they are working very quickly. | ||
| They're working very fast, very aggressively. | ||
| What Musk is doing in the bureaucracy is unbelievable. | ||
| I'm honestly shocked. | ||
| I'm terrified. | ||
| In a good way, though. | ||
| Things that you never thought were possible. | ||
| The idea that a capitalist, and let's just say ostensibly, a capitalist is moving into Washington, moving into the bureaucracy, and just gutting it the way that he is. | ||
| Getting access to this data, which I'm suspicious of, but getting access to it. | ||
| And anybody that protests is being fired, government websites being taken offline, people being told don't come back to work, severance packages, they're cutting through the bureaucracy in a way that I never thought was possible. | ||
| It felt like yesterday, the USAID, these NGOs, the State Department, the blob, it felt like yesterday, it was this Kafkaesque fixture, just like the blob in the basement of Chernobyl. | ||
| It felt like it was this unmovable object, like it was never going to move, like it could never change, like it was there since the beginning of the world. | ||
| You had this foreign policy blob, this bureaucratic blob, and nothing could ever touch it. | ||
| It was just covered in layers of redundancy and political cover and patronage, and it seemed like yesterday, That's just how it is, how it would always be. | ||
| And then today, it's like, nope, their Twitter account's disabled, their website is offline, and anyone that has a problem with it has been fired. | ||
| They're cutting all the spending, cutting all the personnel, everybody's going. | ||
| And they're talking about challenging it in court, and they're cutting so fast. | ||
| They're moving more quickly than the courts, because that was the problem in the first term. | ||
| Trump would do something, it would be too little too late, and then the courts would throw up a roadblock, and then everybody would say, oh well, that's all we could do. | ||
| And now between Trump with trade and diplomacy, Elon in Washington, it just seems like months have gone by in weeks. | ||
| Trump has been president for two weeks, and yet it feels like a year. | ||
| Trump won two months ago. | ||
| Well, roughly three, three full months ago, and it feels like he won 20 years ago. | ||
| It feels like it's been, that's been how it is for a long time. | ||
| That's how it feels. | ||
| And maybe the hope, and this is what Andrew Tate said on our election stream. | ||
| He said, maybe the hope, aside from the details and the people that are there now who may or may not be suspicious, he said what it will do is energize the young people. | ||
| He said it'll make the young men more masculine, more energetic. | ||
| It'll make them believe in America. | ||
| And he said that will have a generational effect. | ||
| And I agreed with him then. | ||
| And I think that is one of the major positives. | ||
| So we have to be of a balanced mind about these things. | ||
| It can't all just be, hey, you know, look, these things are very concerning that are going on. | ||
| At the same time... | ||
| In a world where you can only have one alternative or another, is it better to have venture capitalists in charge or piece of shit fat feminists? | ||
| Clearly, in some ways, the latter. | ||
| At the same time, if they're opposed to us, it makes them a far more aggressive and competent adversary. | ||
| Who would you rather fight? | ||
| You know, so on the one hand... | ||
| Yes, it's going, maybe it could awaken the country and maybe it could energize the country. | ||
| On the other hand, if these people hate white nationalists and hate anti-Semites, which they do, they're a far more competent opponent than the fat libschitz and the fat brown women on the other side of the deep state. | ||
| So we have to have a balanced perspective. | ||
| It's important to consider a lot of different perspectives because for what it's worth, this is a period of reorientation for everybody, for the left, for the dissonant right. | ||
| An upset election happened. | ||
| We have to be honest about the gravity of what happened in November. | ||
| It was an upset. | ||
| Something has changed. | ||
| The country was all against Trump. | ||
| Now they're not. | ||
| We can talk about why that is. | ||
| We can be suspicious of it, but something changed. | ||
| And now everybody has to pick up the pieces after the old way of thinking was completely shattered. | ||
| The old way of thinking, the old plans, mental model. | ||
| Of what we're doing, of what the left is doing, of what the right is doing. | ||
| It's all been shattered after November, and everybody now has to pick up the pieces and first figure out what has happened and the new reality, but also figure out what we're going to be doing in the midst of all this. | ||
| And that's why in this time, on the one hand, many of my predictions are coming true. | ||
| These are things that are, you know, short-term predictions. | ||
| At the same time, I've been very ambivalent. | ||
| I've been a little bit, I don't want to say confused, but I've been a little bit more open-minded about things that are positive and negative. | ||
| People have accused me of flip-flopping. | ||
| I don't think I've been flip-flopping. | ||
| I think I've been saying things that are true. | ||
| I try to say things that are true. | ||
| And so the things that I'm concerned about, the negative things, I'm concerned about. | ||
| The things that I've praised, the positive things, they make me a little more optimistic. | ||
| But, you know, I'm sort of of two minds about it. | ||
| And, you know, for somebody like myself, who has on the one hand been victimized by many of these people and actually persecuted by these people, obviously I can't be a complete cheerleader. | ||
| If they're trying to tie the noose around anti-Semites, well, who the fuck do you think that is, you know? | ||
| So I can't cheerlead an administration that's... | ||
| Crushing criticism of Jews in Israel and is backed by Israel and is run by CIA agents that disavowed me for speaking on Israel. | ||
| At the same time, ostensibly they are more right-wing than what came before. | ||
| And as a rightist, we have to point out some of the positive features of that. | ||
| So, like I said, I'm up to two minds on this and I think we have to have at least in this. | ||
| Transitional period, when everybody's kind of collecting themselves and reeling a little bit from November, this is a time where we really do need to assume a new form. | ||
| If we don't, we will be irrelevant, really. | ||
| If we, in other words, stick to the same playbook, the same... | ||
| The same treatment of the topics. | ||
| It's going to sound like these boomers talking about communism from the 80s. | ||
| This is a new era. | ||
| We have to adapt for the new political reality, which is easier said than done because there's a lot of mystery. | ||
| There's a lot of ambiguities about all this. | ||
| There's a lot of uncertainty still. | ||
| That's a time we have to ask more questions, actually. | ||
| The questions are more important sometimes than the answers. | ||
| But anyway, so that's that. | ||
| I want to move on. | ||
| I want to take a look at our Super Chats. | ||
| We'll see what you guys have to say about all this. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| Like I said, sort of a mixed bag tonight. | ||
| On the one hand, Joe Kent gets... | ||
| Why is he getting nominated? | ||
| He's a loser. | ||
| He lost. | ||
| He lost. | ||
| I thought we defeated you. | ||
| You know, we beat him twice. | ||
| We beat him once. | ||
| I didn't really oppose him the second time. | ||
| We beat him once. | ||
| He lost again on his own damn self, on his own damn accord. | ||
| Then they give him a job anyway? | ||
| What the fuck is that? | ||
| And here's the other thing I want to say. | ||
| I want people like Laura Loomer and John Doyle and Patrick Casey. | ||
| I want them to really, really let it soak in there that Darren Beattie got a job and you didn't. | ||
| I really want you to drink that up. | ||
| Darren Beattie got a job and you didn't. | ||
| What does that tell you? | ||
| All the shilling, all the corralling, all of the, all of that. | ||
| And you have nothing to show for it. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| You have been cast aside because you are not a player. | ||
| All of that apologism, all of that coping and Trump cheerleading and you will not get anything. | ||
| Keep posting YouTube videos to get 30,000 views. | ||
| You have nothing. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Like these people back in 2021, 2022, I stuck with radicalism. | ||
| They tried a different approach. | ||
| Who has benefited more? | ||
| Who benefited more from radicalism? | ||
| Or who benefited more from radicalism or those that went the way of people that capitulated? | ||
| Who benefited more? | ||
| They're not getting jobs. | ||
| As far as I know, they're not really getting dealt in. | ||
| And they will remain a junior partner until the day that they die. | ||
| And, you know, more on that maybe another time, but it's pretty crazy. | ||
| People like Darren are getting in. | ||
| People like, you know, the stupid Goyim that promoted him left in the dust. | ||
| All right, but let's take a look. | ||
| We'll read our super chats. | ||
| We'll see what you guys have to say about all this. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Ethiopian growth percent, $5. | ||
| An America first policy would also be hostility towards the Saudis. | ||
| All of the Islamic fundamentalism, Salafis, which influences all the migrants in the West comes from the Saudis, not Iran. | ||
| But Shabbos going Muslims are allowed to do terrorism. | ||
| I don't agree with like hostility, but definitely it wouldn't be as friendly as it is because you're right about that. | ||
| ISIS, Al-Qaeda, all that stuff does come from Saudi clerics, Wahhabist clerics. | ||
| - Ronnie Ronnie sent $10, goat. - Thank you. - NJF goat sent $10, Nick, why are you so manipulative and dangerous? | ||
| Is it their teachings and cult year that corrupts them? - I like the little word play in there. | ||
| That shows me really intelligent. | ||
| It's because their father is the devil. | ||
| They are people that reject Jesus Christ. | ||
| They hate Jesus Christ. | ||
| Why do you think it is that they seem to be the most influential but also the most corrupt morally? | ||
| It's because they don't know Jesus. | ||
| They don't know the father because they don't know the son. | ||
| And so for thousands of years, they have been practicing this Pharisaical Talmudic religion. | ||
| It is explicitly against Jesus Christ. | ||
| It is against Jesus' teachings. | ||
| And so they have substituted for Jesus the law. | ||
| You know, Jesus fulfilled the law. | ||
| His person fulfilled the law. | ||
| They worshiped the law. | ||
| And the law is connected to their covenant. | ||
| And it has transmuted itself into this form of racial idolatry. | ||
| You know, instead of worshiping goodness and the word and the law itself, what it became, which was Jesus, what it became incarnate as, it is turned and diverted in a different direction where now they worship themselves. | ||
| They worship the Jewish people because they received the covenant, because they received the law, but it never belonged to them. | ||
| You know, they were the custodians. | ||
| They were the vehicle. | ||
| But the word belonged to everybody. | ||
| And goodness belonged to everybody. | ||
| And that's what Jesus said. | ||
| You know, it's a new covenant. | ||
| And I feel like they, I mean, at the end of the day, fundamentally, that's the difference. | ||
| That's where this chosen thing comes from. | ||
| That's why their lives matter more than ours. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| You know, they have all these special exceptions on everything. | ||
| They get to be racist. | ||
| They get to be fascist. | ||
| They get to have all the privilege in the world and no one can criticize them. | ||
| They get to have their own courts, their own doctors, their own police, their own restaurants, their own country, their own everything. | ||
| Yeah, so I think that all comes from this, like, racial idolatry. | ||
| Glad you like that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah, it's the audacity of these people like J.D. Vance to even say that with a straight face. | ||
| You read a Thanksgiving with 20 Indian people and you're talking about Ordo Amoris? | ||
| Bros at a Thanksgiving—and by the way, these weren't Amerindians. | ||
| They were Indians from the Indian subcontinent. | ||
| You're at a Thanksgiving dinner. | ||
| Thanksgiving is an American holiday. | ||
| You're at your Thanksgiving dinner with 25 ethnic Indians from the subcontinent of India talking about— Ordo Amoris? | ||
| Well, you see, there's this principle that first we love our own, then we can take care of others. | ||
| You just got done with your Thanksgiving with 30 Indians. | ||
| Your wife is Indian. | ||
| Your kids are Indian. | ||
| But tell us more about the order. | ||
| And tell us more about those concentric circles. | ||
| I mean, give me a break. | ||
| How do people even say that with a straight face? | ||
| I've heard that. | ||
| Is there anything new about that? | ||
| I haven't heard about it in a minute. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, if they do that, I'll make an account. | ||
| Hashtag, really? | ||

| Do you have any thoughts on the... | ||
| Yeah, well, he said it was me and this black guy, Jamar. | ||
| We were both, we were in this session and we were brainstorming and I was really doing a good job and Jamar was trying to one-up me. | ||
| And Ye goes... | ||
| Both of you guys, he's like, this is like when I was working on Life of Pablo and like Kendrick and Drake, because they both rapped and worked on Life of Pablo. | ||
| He's like, who's this? | ||
| And Stiko goes, church, because he don't know. | ||
| He was out to lunch. | ||
| And yeah, he goes, no, no, Kendrick or Drake. | ||
| And I was like, can I be Kendrick? | ||
| No, you're Drake. | ||
| And yeah, I took it as a compliment because he does love Drake. | ||
| He does. | ||
| He's like frenemies with Drake. | ||
| Because on the one hand, he thinks Drake is corny and they have this rivalry, but he also has massive respect and he actually likes his music. | ||
| So I took it as a major compliment. | ||
| He was very complimentary toward me. | ||
| We did vibe. | ||
| We had a connection for sure. | ||
| So hey, if he wants to run in 2028, I'll be there. | ||

| That's just my opinion, though. | ||
| But yeah, I'll always love him. | ||
| I don't agree with some of that, but I'll always love him as a guy. | ||
| I think he's a good guy. | ||

| Do you think the conservative attack on universities is a good thing? | ||
| A major part of Western university education is the deconstruction of the social order, not in the sense of agreement or disagreement, but as a critical realization that it is not static. | ||
| The extreme left and right both recognize this but reach different conclusions. | ||
| Critical thinking is not only left wing. | ||

|
You're doing too much. | |
| Thank you for the big super chat. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| I think that... | ||
| I don't know what you mean when you say a conservative attack on the universities. | ||
| Do you mean defunding them from the federal government or do you mean activists telling people not to go to them? | ||
| I also disagree about this deconstruct. | ||
| I don't know what the fuck you're saying about deconstructing the social order that you're doing too much with that. | ||
| Trying to shove 10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag with this take. | ||
| And you're not even... | ||
| I mean, what you're saying doesn't even—you're not explaining what you mean by that. | ||
| So I have no idea what you're trying to say. | ||
| You should just try and keep it simple for your sake. | ||
| I think that—no, I support the universities, and I think people should go to them, if that's what you mean. | ||
| When people say you should just become a plumber or an electrician, look, those are good jobs. | ||
| No one can dispute. | ||
| Those are actually good jobs right now. | ||
| Electricians are in huge demand. | ||
| The trades are in huge demand, and they get paid a lot of money, and there's no shortage of work for them, and they make a really good living. | ||
| There are many millionaires that are plumbers and electricians. | ||
| Contractors make a ton of money these days. | ||
| So no doubt about it, it's a good job. | ||
| The thing is, if you want to get into the halls of power, you've got to go to college. | ||
| Unfortunately, they're hiring lawyers. | ||
| You know, they're hiring specialists with real technical skills. | ||
| And it's not to say that I have immense respect for the trades. | ||
| People say I hate working class people. | ||
| I hate service workers. | ||

I hate drive-thru people. | |
| I hate a lot of these people that half-ass their job when I order Taco Bell DoorDash and they fuck up my order. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| I hate a lot, you know, people that are on drugs or falling asleep when you're in the drive-thru. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| I have a lot of respect for tradesmen. | ||
| I always have. | ||
| And it's a good job. | ||
| But if you want a political revolution, we need a cadre of professional revolutionaries. | ||
| And the professional classes that will wind up in those positions are lawyers, this day and age, business people, people in finance, people in business. | ||
| And people with tech expertise, people with computer knowledge, and not so much of anything else. | ||
| So people go to school and they're being told to be an electrician. | ||
| I mean, that's great, but what's the pathway for an electrician to meet a billionaire? | ||
| What's the pathway for an electrician to become a senator? | ||
| It's not as clear-cut as these other ones. | ||
| You don't make the same connections. | ||
| There is a social order. | ||
| There is an elite social order. | ||
| There is a distinct elite class. | ||
| You do have to go to the universities to get into it. | ||
| It is a big club. | ||
| And to get into it, you need to go to a selective school. | ||
| You need to be a lawyer. | ||
| It's just what you need to do. | ||
| And, you know, so it actually doesn't help us when Charlie Kirk is telling all these really intelligent young people like, hey, go be a plumber. | ||
| It's a good job for a lot of people, but if you're super high IQ... And you want to be a revolutionary, you got to go to university. | ||
| Just where it's happening. | ||
| They own every tech company. | ||

| It was six years ago, so I don't really remember a ton of it. | ||
| I read the manifesto. | ||
| He never talked about Jewish people. | ||
| That was weird. | ||
| They never do. | ||
| So in many cases, it's not direct. | ||
| And in the cases where it is, a lot of those billionaires are liberal and they oppose the Netanyahu government. | ||
| They actually support a two-state solution. | ||
| Like Soros and Netanyahu are against each other. | ||
| But Soros is in favor of unlimited immigration. | ||
| Like they oppose Netanyahu because he's supporting right-wing parties in Israel or rather in Europe. | ||
| He's supporting Trump in the United States. | ||
| You know, just because Jewish people are competing with each other in the realm of politics doesn't mean it's not Jewish-controlled, you know? | ||
| Like, most of these Palestinian groups are super liberal, and I don't necessarily align with them. | ||
| Like, a lot of them are coming from very left-wing groups, and that's for a reason. | ||

| This is not an advice column. | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| I really detest people that ask for advice. | ||
| If you ask for a device, that is a filter by itself. | ||
| Because asking for advice for something like that... | ||
| You have to presume that I would know more about your parents than you do. | ||
| How would I know about your parents more than you do? | ||
| They're your parents. | ||
| How do I know about what goes on in your fucking house? | ||

| It's like, nigga, you go to church, you get... | ||

| So Tucker, the guy who helped convince Trump to pick Vance, was funded by Vance's venture capital firm? | ||
| - Yep. - Doesn't get much more bald face than that. | ||
| - Look it up. | ||
| It's out there! | ||
| Tucker promoted Vance for a long time before he became senator. | ||
| Vance then founded a firm called Rockbridge Capital. | ||
| Underneath that, it's like 1776 Capital or 1789 Capital. | ||
| It's like one of the founding years. | ||
| And that firm, which is led by Chris Buskirk, who's a friend of Vance's and he's also on Rockbridge, they gave TCN $15 million. | ||
| And yeah, and then Tucker, along with Elon and Teal, made calls to convince Trump to tap Vance as VP. And then Vance hired Tucker's son to work in his press office. | ||

| I refuse to associate with anyone here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| That's hilarious. | ||
| Who's we? | ||
| Who the fuck is we? | ||
| Who are you? | ||
| We've played a narrative. | ||
| I don't know who the fuck you are. | ||
| You have no platform. | ||
| We've been pushing. | ||
| Who the fuck is we? | ||
| Iran is Israel's problem. | ||
| The only reason Iran wants a nuke is because they're worried about Israel invading them, and rightly so. | ||
| Yeah, I don't believe it's in our interest for Iran to become a nuclear power, but the question is, how do we prevent it? | ||
| Do we prevent it by bombing? | ||
| Fordell with bunker-busting bombs? | ||
| Can we even hit it? | ||
| And what's their ability to reconstitute the program? | ||
| They could reconstitute it on the long-term scenario. | ||
| If we really destroy their entire program, they could rebuild it in four years. | ||
| Four years tops. | ||
| Months at the minimum. | ||
| So the only way that we're going to destroy their nuclear complex is if we overthrow their government. | ||
| That's what's at stake here. | ||
| It's not a question of, do we want a nuclear Iran? | ||
| It's a question of, are we willing to overthrow their government to stop it? | ||
| Because bombing them won't work. | ||
| Their centrifuges in Fordow are deep inside of a mountain. | ||
| They have a vast nuclear complex. | ||
| They can rebuild the centrifuges. | ||
| The only thing that's going to stop them is if they either agree to stop it or some other government comes to power that does not want a nuclear arsenal or a threshold capability. | ||
| And so the question is whether that is in our best interest. | ||
| And that is something that Israel wants. | ||
| I don't think that it's in our interest to overthrow the government. | ||
| We should just make a deal with them. | ||
| I like dogs. | ||

| Now that you've finished Game of Thrones, let me get your thoughts, Playboy. | ||
| It sucked. | ||
| I mean, the ending sucked. | ||
| Totally dissatisfying. | ||
| You know, I mean, it wasn't unwatchable. | ||
| People were telling me, don't even watch the final season. | ||
| Some people were telling me, stop watching after season five. | ||
| I'm like, I'm not going to stop watching after season five. | ||
| Don't be ridiculous. | ||
| So, it didn't ever become unwatchable. | ||
| I mean, it was, you know, I had to watch it. | ||
| It was fine, but it wasn't good. | ||
| It totally took a dive. | ||
| Noticeable decline in quality after season six. | ||
| Seven, eight, nine were not good. | ||
| And the last season, totally rushed. | ||
| Totally unsatisfying. | ||
| They were literally like, alright, let's just get this over. | ||
| These storylines that were built up over eight seasons. | ||
| Intricate storylines, real motivations. | ||
| And then at the very end, they're just like, You know, what's-his-name is like, I am evil. | ||
| You know, after, what's the Cersei's brother's name? | ||
| I haven't watched it a long time, and then I just finished it. | ||
| You know, he goes on this good-guy arc. | ||
| He's saving everybody. | ||

| And then she just goes crazy. | ||
| I mean, I kind of get it. | ||
| I sort of get it. | ||
| But the transformation was so rushed. | ||
| She's like a good guy. | ||
| And then in like the last episode, she has eye bags. | ||
| And it's like, oh, that means she's crazy now. | ||
| And then she wins the war. | ||
| And she's like, let's just fucking kill everybody. | ||
| The whole show. | ||
| The whole show. | ||
| Oh, I'm idealistic. | ||
| I won't kill anybody. | ||

| The other dragon guy did the same thing. | ||
| But I was like, really? | ||
| I mean... | ||
| You know, and then the fan service, like the whole show, people are just dying for no reason. | ||
| And then in the end, it's like everyone gets their final battle. | ||
| Everyone, everything is going to get tied up just right. | ||
| You know, Cersei's brother kills the guy and then dies with the sister. | ||
| And then, you know, the mountain and the dog fight each other. | ||
| And so... | ||
| You know, and the whole White Walker thing. | ||
| What the fuck? | ||
| I mean, the whole show, it's like the war to end everything. | ||
| And then one episode. | ||
| All right, here it is. | ||
| And the good guys won. | ||
| And it wasn't even that hard. | ||
| And it was like, I really hate these battle scenes where everything's like Transformers or like the Avengers, where it's like... | ||
| The good guys are winning! | ||
| No, wait! | ||
| Now the bad guys are winning! | ||
| Oh, but here comes this dragon! | ||
