| Hey, Uberboyo. | |
| How are you doing? | |
| Good, my man. | |
| You can call me Steph as well. | |
| Oh, Steph. | |
| I might just continue to call you Uberboyo. | |
| That was actually on the birth cert, so maybe it's more accurate. | |
| I'll call you Steph. | |
| Whichever you prefer, you know. | |
| Okay, well, let's get started. | |
| We'll have to talk more about this. | |
| I might save this for Thursday when the other shoe has dropped. | |
| It does seem like Donald Trump is going to be indicted over election interference with J6, possibly treason. | |
| I guess what this sets up for me, just my immediate take, is that if we thought the 2016 election was kind of existential, it's like, are we going to be a nation with borders or not? | |
| And that it was existential. | |
| And then in 2020, You know, I jumped off the bandwagon, but everyone else was like, are we going to have fair elections or is the deep state going to steal everything from us? | |
| And I think 2024, I don't think I'm exaggerating. | |
| It's almost like setting up for the last election. | |
| And I don't want to sound hysterical, but Trump, you win or you go to jail. | |
| And even if the DOJ wants to... | |
| Offer him an olive branch and maybe keep actual jail off the table or commute the sentence or whatever. | |
| Win or you're dead is how it's going to be perceived. | |
| And I don't know. | |
| I see a lot of interesting extremism. | |
| I know that's a loaded term, but I see that in the air. | |
| As kind of small as Nick Fuentes' event, Nick Fuentes gave a speech where it was this weird combination of Zoomer streaming gossip and extreme Christian nihilism. | |
| I don't know how to describe it. | |
| He spent a lot of the first half of the speech bashing other streamers and talking about how dudes are banging their wives. | |
| Left and right and all this, you know, he no longer likes iDubes or whatever the hell. | |
| I mean, there was a lot of just, you know, detrius that I don't care about. | |
| Apparently his people do. | |
| But then when he switches into a different mode, he, you know, everyone's... | |
| On Twitter, they're posting this clip of him saying, basically, we're willing to die in this war against, effectively, the Jews. | |
| And because we're willing to die, we're going to make them die. | |
| And he actually wants to eliminate enemies of Christ from America and the planet. | |
| So I presume that might also mean me. | |
| But perhaps I'll be let off the hook a bit. | |
| But it's very strong rhetoric. | |
| And even beyond that, there's this momentum ori of like, you are already dead. | |
| You know, your being is towards death. | |
| And this life doesn't matter. | |
| And I think that on the whole, it doesn't matter. | |
| You're going to be judged before God by what you do. | |
| Now, you could take that on one level and say that, oh, this is the typical kind of quietest You know, piety of Christians where they deny the earth and all they want to do is, you know, read their dusty old books and then walk into the grave like a bed or something like that. | |
| But that kind of mentality can go in reverse where you're already dead. | |
| The only thing that matters is judgment before God and God wants you to eliminate the enemies of Jesus Christ, his son. | |
| That seems like that can be an extremely motivating force. | |
| There's a kind of desperation that I sense in him. | |
| And so anyway, if that kind of talk is in the air... | |
| And Nick also mentioned something that is absolutely true. | |
| And this also goes for Bap, who I have... | |
| In a weird way, I have... | |
| Like, a lot less respect for than I do Nick Fuentes. | |
| Like, I have, in a way, no interest in BAP. | |
| But Nick is kind of interesting. | |
| But it's like he said this in his event. | |
| You know, all these people at TPUSA, they're also fans of mine. | |
| They're attending both conferences. | |
| People from America First or the Knicker crowd are infiltrating. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I think we... | |
| I think we're headed for an existential crisis. | |
| And it's all kind of stupid, and it's easy to make fun of. | |
| And Trump, you know, we love to mimic him, and he's a goofball, and he failed the president. | |
| All that stuff. | |
| Or Nick is some crazy little Zoomer incel, whatever. | |
| All that, you know, it's easy to make fun of these things. | |
| But I see the passion and the power of fanaticism and belief in them. | |
| I don't see that among liberals. | |
| We liberals like myself, we just want Trump out and we want old man Joe to steer the boat in a steady manner. | |
| We don't expect much. | |
| Just be normal, bro. | |
| That's what we want. | |
| I'm speaking for all Biden voters, but I think I'm correct. | |
| They don't want that. |
