- 0:19I mean, this was crazy. I am someone who has kind of had
- 0:22Candace's back a little bit, but this is a weird, weird move.
- 0:25She goes on her show and says any place, anytime.
- 0:28And then they're like, OK, we'll do the 15th, we'll do it at this
- 0:31time. And she's like, you know what?
- 0:33I'll just live stream into it. It's like, OK, like what's going

- 1:14video with the guys. I'll try not to talk over it
- 1:18much or pause it much. I'll try and just play it.
- 1:21Maybe I'll comment here and there, but we're going to watch
- 1:23this together today. Good evening everybody.
- 1:29You're watching America First. My name is Nicholas J Fuentes.
- 1:32We have a great show for you tonight.
- 1:33Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Thursday.
- 1:37We have a lot to talk about tonight.
- 1:38Lots to get into. Big show.
- 1:41Sorry I'm late. I had to wake up really early
- 1:44for this other show and I'm not, I'm not really built for that
- 1:48honestly. I had to wake up at 9:00 AM to
- 1:52do Steven Crowder this morning, 9:00 AM.
- 1:55Are you kidding me? I don't even remember the last
- 1:57time I woke up that early. Must have been like high school.
- 2:026:30 AM, Get on the bus 745. It's totally insane.
- 2:06It's totally crazy. Who does the show at 10 AM?
- 2:09Who's even awake besides like teachers and like the tollway or
- 2:14something? Anyway, so I had to take a nap,
- 2:18as you know, and now I'm awake and I'm wired and I'm ready to
- 2:21go. The show happens when it's meant
- 2:24to happen. That's how I feel.
- 2:26You can't rush a great show. The finest show is when I'm I'm
- 2:33really ready, like I'm dialed in for it, so.
- 2:35That's why I'm late occasionally here as well.
- 2:37Perfection takes time. Folks, oh, I really took my
- 2:40time. It's 12401241 AMII remember I
- 2:45was like on the couch at like 7:00 PM and I kept setting
- 2:48alarms like 7107374582930AS. I kept setting alarms.
- 2:54And then finally I was like, you know, I think this is the time.
- 2:58I think I'm ready now. So we're ready and we're going
- 3:01to have a great show. Our featured story tonight we're
- 3:03talking all about Candace Owens. My girlfriend is at it again.
- 3:08I'm sorry guys, I don't know what to tell you.
- 3:12She doesn't listen. Candace Owens is back in the
- 3:14news. What's going on?
- 3:17So she finally got everything she wanted.
- 3:20She has been spreading so much malicious disinformation that
- 3:25it's ripping the country apart. It's creating a national
- 3:28emergency. She's making me actually start
- 3:32to drift to the left because for so many years, they said
- 3:35disinformation, misinformation. You're a grifter pushing
- 3:38misinformation. And I said they're just trying
- 3:40to suppress free speech. And then Candace Owen starts a
- 3:43YouTube channel and it's like, I had a dream about a beekeeper
- 3:48and all the people in the maroon shirts and these Egyptian planes
- 3:53and there's like a 10 million people that are totally into
- 3:55this. It's like we got a problem.
- 3:58We have a real, this is like, it's actually a little scary.
- 4:01So anyway, she finally got what she wanted.
- 4:04She drove Turning Point USA to the point with her malicious
- 4:09disinformation, finally, where Turning Point said they're going
- 4:12to do a live stream and they're going to explain themselves.
- 4:16They're going to justify why they didn't kill their own boss.
- 4:21That's how insane this has gotten.
- 4:23Everybody is so whipped up about this that Turning Point USA is
- 4:27going to host their own live stream.
- 4:29And all of these people who are friends with Charlie Kirk in
- 4:32real life, who are probably there at his wedding, at his
- 4:36children's baptism, or well, I don't know how they do it as
- 4:38Protestants. But his closest friends, his
- 4:41wife, they're going to get on a live stream and explain for all
- 4:45these psychos why they didn't murder their own boss with
- 4:47France and Israel and Egypt and the United States and people in
- 4:52maroon shirts and the beekeeper society.
- 4:56And so, and, and this is like, we got to give her credit.
- 4:59It's a huge win for Candace. She wanted disclosure, She
- 5:02wanted transparency. She's getting it.
- 5:04Turning Point answered her questions on a brief video and
- 5:08they announced this live stream where they're going to give a
- 5:09formal response. OK, you won.
- 5:11You did it even better. Turning Point says she's invited
- 5:16to come to the live stream. OK, home run.
- 5:20Easiest victory ever. It's free.
- 5:23It's free. She's been pushing them for
- 5:25three months to answer the questions and they set her up
- 5:29for like. This has got to be, if it
- 5:31happens, the most anticipated live stream of the year.
- 5:35She has had the biggest show in this final quarter, millions of
- 5:39views on YouTube, on Spotify, on X.
- 5:43And if she goes to Turning Point and she puts the screws in them,
- 5:48she is either going to blow the lid on the whole thing and
- 5:51credit where it's due, She will be the number one journalist of
- 5:53the of the century. Or we find out we get to the
- 5:57bottom of it, that Turning Point was not complicit in the murder
- 6:00of Charlie Kirk. And nobody could say then that
- 6:04we didn't do our due diligence because he got Candace there so
- 6:07everybody could breathe a sigh of relief.
- 6:09And I think that's a victory for her too, because then she gets
- 6:11to say, well, I, I've discovered the truth.
- 6:15But we find out today she's not going to go.
- 6:18I'm sure you've all seen this. Turning point says they're going
- 6:20to do a live stream. They're going to answer all the
- 6:23questions about Charlie Kurtz. They invite her to to show up.
- 6:26She says, challenge accepted. Name the time, name the place.
- 6:29We don't need to plan it out. Let's just do it.
- 6:31They say, OK, December 15th. She goes, oh, but I that's a bad
- 6:34day for me. I can't do it then.
- 6:36Can I? Can I Skype in?
- 6:37Can I Zoom, bitch? We can't.
- 6:41What are we doing here? And I said it on Telegram.
- 6:44You actually just have to admire the audacity.
- 6:47This woman has gone in every single day for three months and
- 6:52she has dragged everybody. And like every country, the
- 6:56wife, the friends, the company, the government, the FBI, Israel,
- 7:00France, Egypt, she's dragged everybody through this.
- 7:05Whatever you want to call it, this investigation, it's served
- 7:08up to her on a silver platter. All right, uncle, we give up.
- 7:13We're losing to disinformation and mass hysteria.
- 7:17You know, the open society is failing.
- 7:19Mass psychosis has taken hold over the nation.
- 7:23Fine, we'll do a live stream. We'll justify why we didn't kill
- 7:25our boss. And you can ask us anything you
- 7:27want. Just show up and she goes.
- 7:30I can't that day. Honestly.
- 7:32What else do you have going on? This is your job.
- 7:35You're a YouTube. She acts like she's like, she's
- 7:39a wagy, like, oh, I got to check with my boss.
- 7:42This is your job. This has been your obsession and
- 7:44crusade for three months. Literally, what could you have
- 7:47going on? And I see some people already
- 7:51defending. They say, well, you'd understand
- 7:52if you had kids. It's Christmas time, OK?
- 7:55I think you get a special dispensation.
- 7:58First of all, it's the 15th. People are working and going to
- 8:00school right up until Christmas Eve.
- 8:02Sometimes it's 10 days before Christmas, OK?
- 8:05Second of all, you know, I think her family would understand.
- 8:09Her whole family's dragged. I think her family would
- 8:11understand. Maybe we could reschedule the
- 8:13family Christmas party to the 17th and 19th.
- 8:16Go and do what you got to do. People will defend anything, I
- 8:20guess, but then it gets better. She says, Well, I'm not going to
- 8:24go to Phoenix in person. I'll live stream their live
- 8:28stream. So you're too busy to go in
- 8:31person, but you're not busy enough to live stream the event
- 8:35from your house. Does that even make sense to
- 8:38anybody? You can't cancel your show
- 8:41talking about Charlie Kirk's death to go to Turning Point to
- 8:44ask them about Charlie Kirk's death because you're too busy
- 8:47doing your show. This is This is why crazy
- 8:52bitches, they make the whole world crazy.
- 8:54They make you sound crazy. They make you go crazy anyway,
- 8:58so we'll talk about it. That's going to be our featured
- 8:59story. Totally insane.
- 9:01I and I can't believe how many people are falling for it.
- 9:04And it just goes to show, by the way, and I don't care how much
- 9:07Flack I get for saying this, I don't give a shit anymore.
- 9:09I'll tell you the truth. All I know how to do is cut
- 9:13through the bullshit. I'm not setting plays, I'm not
- 9:15strategizing. I'm too cynical about all of
- 9:18these fucking two faced liars. This low IQ conspiracy theory
- 9:24stuff it, it's just, it's a huge problem now.
- 9:27It's complete irrationality. People don't even care about the
- 9:30truth. They have no relationship to it.
- 9:32And the conspiracy theory used to be the truth.
- 9:36It used to be the case that the government was and big tech was
- 9:39suppressing speech. And if you were a conspiracy
- 9:42theorist, it's because you cared about the truth.
- 9:44You wanted the truth to get out there about 911 about JFK, about
- 9:48what, whatever, all these different things.
- 9:51It was your commitment to the truth that led you down these
- 9:53rabbit holes and LED you to press up against the system and
- 9:58maybe get censored or attacked or defamed or whatever.
- 10:01And now it's just become pure paranoia, pure irrationality.
- 10:07And, and it's it's reflexive and we'll talk about it tonight.
- 10:10That'll be our main story. But it it's just like, I don't
- 10:14get it. I really don't.
- 10:15I don't understand how these brain damaged old people.
- 10:18And it's it's a lot of women. It's a lot of men too, sadly,
- 10:20and some young people. But it's a lot of it's a lot of
- 10:23women and a lot of brain damaged old people that have been sucked
- 10:26up into this. I feel sorry for them.
- 10:28It's like Q Anon. It's literally no different than
- 10:30the Trump cult than Q Anon. It's the same thing.
- 10:34And here it is. She gets invited to go to
- 10:36Turning Point. Isn't this the whole, this is
- 10:38the end game? OK, you won.
- 10:40Go and ask them. You're leading the
- 10:41investigation. Charlie told me in a dream that
- 10:43he was set up and betrayed. I'm going to take the charge,
- 10:46blah, blah. They invite her to come and do
- 10:48the show. She goes, oh, I can't.
- 10:51And immediately people say, well, she's got kids.
- 10:53Well, it's Christmas. Well, what if they're going to
- 10:55kill her? You know, I think that if she
- 10:57went to Turning Point and died there, I think that would be a
- 11:00little too on the nose. You know, they're saying she
- 11:05can't go to Turning Point, they'll kill her there.
- 11:07It's like this is all happening on Twitter.
- 11:10How would they get away with that?
- 11:11Does that even, does that even make any sense?
- 11:15I've just, I've never seen anything like it, honestly.
- 11:18And. Yeah, imagine Candace goes to
- 11:20turning point for the thing and then like 2 days later she
- 11:23mysteriously like, I don't know, something crazy happens like
- 11:26that, Like a heart attack, some mystery event.
- 11:30How fucking painfully obvious would it be that?
- 11:33I mean, I don't know, it's just it's delusion when people are
- 11:36like, they'll kill her if she goes that.
- 11:38That part's crazy. It's making me seriously
- 11:41reconsider a lot of things. Not, not the Jewish issue or
- 11:46anything like that, but you realize that a lot of this stuff
- 11:49has gone too far. It's hit the high watermark.
- 11:51And by that I mean, you know, when you don't have these
- 11:53institutions, when you don't have anything like that, then
- 11:56you just get there's no bottom, there's no floor for how far you
- 11:59fall into psychosis like this. Like that's the only thing I
- 12:02could say about it. I watch her show.
- 12:03I don't know how people eat this stuff up.
- 12:05I'm watching her show. She's literally saying, this
- 12:08whole year I've been having visions and dreams of beekeepers
- 12:11and this is literally her show. I'm like, how are I?
- 12:15I'm scared. I'm scared that normal people
- 12:17are watching this, people that I know are watching this and
- 12:19eating this up. It's like it's disturbing, it's
- 12:22deranged. And I, I didn't get involved in
- 12:24all this for that. I didn't get involved in this.
- 12:26To hear some like fucking black female guru tell us about her
- 12:30fucking dreams and these low IQ conspiracies.
- 12:34It's an insult to conspiracy theories.
- 12:36It's an insult to the radical right.
- 12:38It's a fucking joke and I don't want anything to do with it.
- 12:40And I'm glad that we had a falling out.
- 12:42Thank God, because I can't imagine even trying or feeling
- 12:47obligated to have to defend this.
- 12:49It's it's gross. So anyway, we'll get into all
- 12:52that. We're also going to.
- 12:53At this point, it is getting hard to defend.
- 12:55I mean, I'm someone who has been like saying let's see what
- 12:58Candace is doing. I was counter signaling her for
- 13:01a bit and then I was like, you know what, We're going to take a
- 13:03break on it. We're going to we're going to
- 13:06see what she's got to say. We're going to see where this
- 13:08investigation goes. And then she accepts the
- 13:10invitation and they're like, OK, great.
- 13:12She goes anytime, anyplace. And then she's like, that
- 13:15doesn't work for me. I'm a mom.
- 13:17Like what the fuck, Candace? To talk tonight about Venezuela,
- 13:22they're ramping up in Venezuela. Looks like a war is imminent,
- 13:25but we'll talk about some of the details and some of these
- 13:28specifications. It doesn't look like there's
- 13:30going to be an invasion and I'll tell you why that is.
- 13:33If there's going to be a military operation, it it looks
- 13:35like it will be limited. And I think that just has to do
- 13:39with the troop totals down there, unless there's some,
- 13:42unless they're amassing an army of a, of a serious size that
- 13:45we're not aware of. And it looks like maybe the
- 13:48latest development is that elements inside the government
- 13:50are trying to prevent this from happening.
- 13:52I think that the reason they are honing in on the September 2nd
- 13:56boat strike probably is to constrain the administration.
- 14:00And so it appeared that Trump was moving very fast and without
- 14:03any restraint towards a unilateral war in Venezuela.
- 14:07And by unilateral, I don't mean Washington, I mean him.
- 14:11Trump was, it looked as though he was going to single handedly
- 14:14plunge us into a war without Congress, without a vote,
- 14:18without anything. And now it seems that there
- 14:20might be some pushback to maybe slow down the tempo a little
- 14:23bit, which I'm actually glad to see.
- 14:24So we'll talk about some of these latest developments.
- 14:26There's been a lot of them. Trump apparently held a phone
- 14:29call with Maduro. You've got the aircraft carrier
- 14:32strike group making a port call in the US Virgin Islands.
- 14:35Serious naval posture. 25% of the active U.S.
- 14:39Navy is deployed off the coast of Venezuela at the same time.
- 14:43Now this whole week they've been talking about these drug
- 14:46trafficking boat strikes and might create some serious
- 14:49problems for the war. So we'll talk about all that.
- 14:52Before we get into it, I want to remind you to smash the follow
- 14:54button. Smash the like button.

- 16:06If I don't do a show, I'm in the group chat.
- 16:08So I didn't do a show last night, but I was in the group
- 16:10chat dropping insider information about Chuck Johnson,
- 16:15OK, and about other things, about Crowder about a lot of
- 16:18things, a lot of things, a lot of insider baseball, a lot of
- 16:23inside knowledge. So America First.
- 16:25Excuse me, dot Plus, check it out.
- 16:28Yeah, it's a little bit late. I didn't do a show last night.
- 16:30It's just been a very slow week. I feel like nothing has been
- 16:32happening in the news at all. So that's a slow Newsweek.
- 16:34I didn't do a show last night. I was a little tired and I I was
- 16:37thinking about cancelling tonight.
- 16:38Again, there's like nothing in the news.
- 16:39But I said I can't, I can't skip so much of the show.
- 16:43But also, before we get into the news, I had this major
- 16:46collaboration with Steven Crowder this morning and I hope
- 16:50you all tuned in. I thought it was great.
- 16:52We had a pretty solid viewership.
- 16:53I think there were 85,000 people watching on Rumble, I don't know
- 16:56how many on YouTube, but I thought it went really great.
- 16:59I was very pleasantly surprised. I had no idea what to expect.
- 17:02And him and I have both said negative things about each other
- 17:05in the past. And so like with everything
- 17:08else, I had no idea if it was going to be a confrontation, if
- 17:11it was going to be hostile. But they emailed me and they
- 17:15said it's going to be a discussion, we want you to flesh
- 17:18out your views. I said, well, I'm happy to do
- 17:20it. So I went on the show and and
- 17:23you can watch it, It's on Rumble, it's on Steven Crowder's
- 17:25channel, it's on YouTube as well.
- 17:26And I was very pleasantly surprised.
- 17:27I was surprised at how well I got along with him.
- 17:30I didn't think I would, to tell you the truth, but I did.
- 17:33And I thought he was very congenial and very nice and fair
- 17:37and we didn't agree on everything.
- 17:38I actually really liked the interview because we had a
- 17:40serious disagreement. It heated, it almost got heated,
- 17:43but it wasn't personal. It wasn't personal.
- 17:45It wasn't name calling. It wasn't vicious.
- 17:48We have a, we have a strong disagreement.
- 17:50He's I think he would call himself more of a conservative
- 17:52and I'm a reactionary. I'm, I am more radical and I
- 17:55don't say that to one up him, but I just am, I'm, I'm more
- 17:58radical in my tactics. I think my ideology is more
- 18:00radical. And we had a pretty intense
- 18:03disagreement about Trump and about how we move forward with
- 18:06Trump. And he was pressing me and I
- 18:08pushed back a little bit. But you know what?
- 18:09It was a, it was a good faith disagreement and I like that.
- 18:13I have no problem with that. I actually invite it.
- 18:15I welcome it because I love to talk about ideas.
- 18:18What I don't like is when people say, oh, you're not saying what
- 18:21you mean when people call me a liar or when people do the
- 18:25personal stuff or, you know, just in general when people act
- 18:29in bad faith, I'm even OK. We walk through a lot of the
- 18:31clips that sound bad and I don't love doing that, but I also
- 18:36don't shy away from it. I'll, if it's in good faith,
- 18:38I'll explain what I meant in a certain clip or, or things that
- 18:41people are unsure about. I have no problem with it.
- 18:43And so I, I really appreciated the way that he handled it.
- 18:47I thought it showed a lot of integrity because he could have
- 18:49went, he could have been a real Dick, 'cause I, we, the gripers
- 18:53did show up to his events years ago and I've said very shitty
- 18:56things about him. He could have been a real jerk
- 18:58to me and he probably would have been justified and it would have
- 19:00been better for him. It would have been easy for him
- 19:02to totally throw me under the bus and play games and attack me
- 19:05and, and it would have been very easy and it would have been
- 19:07unpleasant and the gripers would have been mad and his people be
- 19:10patting him on the back. But to his credit, total Class
- 19:14act, completely fair, completely honest.
- 19:17He told me exactly how I was going to go.
- 19:19And then I think the way that he handled it, it was a completely
- 19:21fair interview. And we didn't even agree on
- 19:23everything, but we fleshed out where each of us stood in
- 19:25detail. And I think we defined those
- 19:28disagreements pretty clearly. And then by the end of it, it
- 19:30was pretty friendly. So I was very pleasantly
- 19:34surprised. And and I don't say surprised
- 19:36because I think he's a bad guy, but I had no idea what how it's
- 19:39going to go. And, and very rarely does it go
- 19:41that well. So I I really like that and and
- 19:44I was happy to do it. So maybe we could do it again in
- 19:46the future. I'm not going to hold him to
- 19:47that. I know maybe he doesn't want to
- 19:49be towards the end. He's like, yeah, don't, don't go
- 19:51and say you're in the mud club or whatever.
- 19:52We were kind of joking about that but but no I I totally
- 19:56consider him to be a solid guy, stand up guy nothing but nice
- 19:59things to say about it. I I was really happy with it.
- 20:00So you can go and check it out. It had great reviews too.
- 20:03I was going through the YouTube comments.
- 20:04Everybody loved it and that made me very happy so great interview
- 20:09but that's not all Monday we have Piers Morgan in the
- 20:12morning. Now that one I definitely think
- 20:14it's going to be hostile because I do think that Piers Morgan
- 20:16operates in bad faith. I hope he doesn't and if he's
- 20:19not, I'll I'll treat him the same way I treated Steven.
- 20:21But. I think it's going to be a lot
- 20:23of interrupting and sensational stuff, and I'm prepared for
- 20:25that. But that'll be on Monday and
- 20:27then Thursday I'm doing my annual stream with Richard
- 20:30Spencer, which we tend to do every time, every year around
- 20:33this time. And so that'll be kind of
- 20:35interesting. So we still have a big line up
- 20:37out of us. OK, with that out of the way,
- 20:40and we're going to dive into the news.
- 20:41How do I look? I feel like I look skinny.
- 20:43My diet is working. I told you, you know, I'm on
- 20:47this diet and it's like ruining my life.
- 20:48It's making me want to commit suicide.
- 20:52I'm just so hungry all the time. But you know what, I think it's
- 20:56paying off. I was looking at myself before I
- 20:58started the show. You tell me, what do you think?
- 21:01I don't want to. I don't want to slouch.
- 21:02What do you think? I think I'm I'm getting, you
- 21:07know, it's when it starts to pay off, that's when it makes it
- 21:09worth it. Anyway, so that's just been an
- 21:12ongoing. I've been on this diet all week
- 21:14and I've been miserable. All right, but let's get into
- 21:16it. We're going to dive into our
- 21:17featured story here, our first stories about Candace Owens, and
- 21:22we're even to begin with this. Well, we'll talk about the
- 21:25events from this week. So as you know, Candace Owens
- 21:29has been on a crusade. She has been a woman possessed,
- 21:35obsessed with getting to the bottom of Charlie Kirk's
- 21:38assassination. She believes there was a
- 21:40conspiracy to kill him, an elaborate conspiracy that
- 21:44involved multiple governments and multiple law enforcement
- 21:47agencies and people inside Charlie Kirk's organization.
- 21:51This is her theory. This is her conjecture.
- 21:55As you know, for three months she has done, I think almost
- 21:57every single show that she has done has been about this.
- 22:01She has deputized her millions of followers to help her in this
- 22:04investigation. And they have left no stone
- 22:06unturned. They've looked at apparently the
- 22:10report by the attending physician.
- 22:12They have looked at the tunnels, the the utility hatch underneath
- 22:16the tent. They have looked at every angle,
- 22:19a video showing the assassination.
- 22:20They have looked at the SD cards and the cameras from Turning
- 22:23Point. They have looked at everybody in
- 22:25the audience, the person that asked the final question.
- 22:27They've looked at Turning Point personnel.
- 22:29They brought in flight logs from an Egyptian military aircraft,
- 22:33from multiple, multiple Egyptian military aircraft.
- 22:36And they are alleging her and her followers are alleging that
- 22:39this is a, a truly multilateral conspiracy involving the FBI,
- 22:46the Utah police, Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk's wife, his
- 22:49best friends, his business associates, Donald Trump, JD
- 22:53Vance, the French government, the Israeli government, the
- 22:56Egyptian government, the Mossad. Like this is the theory that
- 22:59this is a conspiracy involving maybe hundreds of people, maybe
- 23:02thousands, dozens of people in Provo, UT that day.
- 23:06Like I said, people in these law enforcement, intelligence
- 23:08agencies at the highest levels of government.
- 23:10She's alleging there is a vast conspiracy to to kill Charlie
- 23:15Kirk. Why?
- 23:16Who knows? Ostensibly, they say it was to
- 23:19shut him up because he was about to turn against Israel.
- 23:22They say that's why. With that in mind, Turning Point
- 23:27USA hosted an event with Tucker Carlson a few weeks after he
- 23:29died, and then Tucker did a show with me.
- 23:32So how does that make sense? Last I checked, Tucker is going
- 23:35to be at America Fest in December.
- 23:36So how do you explain that? The FBI, the French, the
- 23:39Israelis, the United States, Turning Point, the Mormons?
- 23:42They killed Charlie because he refused to disavow Tucker.
- 23:47Now that Charlie's out of the picture, they're going to bring
- 23:49Tucker to their events and Tucker's going to do a show with
- 23:52me and then he's going to go to America Fest and headline.
- 23:55It doesn't even make any sense anyway.
- 23:57We're not going to litigate that theory, but this has been the
- 23:59theory and it is, in my opinion, done a lot of damage to the
- 24:05country because there are millions of people that are
- 24:07watching this and they seem to be completely divorced from
- 24:10reality. We're three months in and there
- 24:12seems to be no evidence at all. And much of the evidence is
- 24:15wrong. For example, she talks about
- 24:17this Egyptian military plane, and she got the time zone wrong
- 24:21because she didn't know what UTC meant.
- 24:23She thought it meant Utah time. And so she had an Egyptian plane
- 24:27present during the assassination and leaving afterward.
- 24:30But she misplaced it because she got the time zone wrong.
- 24:33And when people corrected her, she came out and said, well, you
- 24:36correcting me proves that I'm right because you wouldn't care
- 24:40if I wasn't over the target. It is really funny because that
- 24:45is like the most woman response ever.
- 24:47It's like the only reason you would question that is because
- 24:50I'm right. It it is, when you really think
- 24:53about it, just the most woman response to ever exist.
- 24:56And it's things like that that freak me out because it's like,
- 24:59if you're right, you're over the target.
- 25:01If you're wrong, you're also over the target.
- 25:04She comes out with this conspiracy that France is trying
- 25:07to kill her. She says France is trying to
- 25:09kill me. Then she comes out and says the
- 25:11French government didn't respond.
- 25:12The American government didn't respond.
- 25:14Suspicious. But didn't she say months ago
- 25:18that when the Israeli government responded to claims that they
- 25:20killed Charlie Kirk, that that was suspicious too?
- 25:23So if they say something, they're in on it.
- 25:25If they say nothing, they're in on it.
- 25:28It's this confirmation bias. No matter what the outcome is,
- 25:31whether the facts are right or wrong, or whether they never
- 25:33arrive at all, it always furthers.
- 25:36Oh well, they wouldn't do that unless, Oh well, that's really
- 25:39weird, isn't it? Just asking questions.
- 25:41There's always just this insinuation.
- 25:43There's never actually anything concrete or tangible or real.
- 25:48There's no I don't even think there's a coherent theory at
- 25:51this point that explains it from point A to point B.
- 25:54It's just a sort of general, every permutation is
- 25:57simultaneously true all at once. And that's just not
- 26:02intellectually rigorous and it's not serious and it's not honest.
- 26:05And anyway, I think this is doing profound damage to the
- 26:07country. I think it's disturbing.
- 26:08I think it's weird that millions of people are watching this and
- 26:11they're buying into this psychosis.
- 26:14And it has gotten to the point now where the people that are
- 26:16being implicated in the conspiracy, I'm sure they're
- 26:18being harassed in their real life.
- 26:20She's going on a show that millions of people watch and
- 26:22she's naming private individuals and inciting her followers to
- 26:26harass these people, whether it's people that, you know,
- 26:30there's like a state representative and there's
- 26:31people in the audience and the guy that asks a question and,
- 26:34and Turning Point USA itself. And you know me, I don't love
- 26:37Turning Point and I don't love the people in there and I don't
- 26:39trust them. I don't trust Andrew Colvin.
- 26:41I mean, the guy's a spook. And I could tell you all about
- 26:43Andrew Colvin. I don't trust him for two
- 26:45seconds. Blake Neff, he seems a little
- 26:46better. Jack was sobic, I think is a
- 26:48fad. So I don't really trust any of
- 26:51those people there. But with that being said, these
- 26:53are all people that weren't friends with Charlie Kirk,
- 26:55worked with Charlie Kirk. They're being accused of killing
- 26:57him, and these millions of people are being deputized to go
- 27:01and harass them and attack them and say that they're in on this
- 27:03big thing really with no evidence.
- 27:04And so finally, Turning Point USA comes out with a statement
- 27:08earlier this week. And Blake Neff makes a
- 27:10statement. And Blake Neff, it was really
- 27:12the mastermind behind the Charlie Kirk podcast.
- 27:15He used to be a writer for Tucker Carlson.
- 27:17And Blake Neff comes out with a statement and says, we're going
- 27:20to do a live stream. It's a formal response.
- 27:23He says Turning Point is going to, I don't know if they're
- 27:26going to bring together a panel, but they said they're going to
- 27:28address all the allegations piece by piece and they're going
- 27:30to formally respond to all the allegations.
- 27:34And they even addressed some with specificity in this
- 27:36announcement. They said they talked about the
- 27:38personnel that arranged the campus tour.
- 27:40They talked about the date of the campus tour and where it was
- 27:43and, and the personnel that were involved in planning the whole
- 27:45thing. And, and so they went through
- 27:47and debunked a few things and said, we're going to give a
- 27:48complete and formal and full response later in the month.
- 27:52And, and this is the best part. They say Candace is invited, she
- 27:55can come to the studio, she can be on the live stream and ask us
- 27:58anything. And I thought, wow, what a great
- 28:02opportunity. And honestly, I would watch
- 28:04that. This is a victory.
- 28:08I don't know what keeps going on.
- 28:09For some reason the screen keeps resizing for no fucking reason
- 28:12at all. Just if I could fix that, I
- 28:15think I what the fuck This is so fucking weird.
- 28:25Let's just try it like this. Free, it's a huge win because if
- 28:28you're pushing for the truth, if you're pushing for transparency,
- 28:33for exposure, then how do you do better than this?
- 28:37They're inviting you to do it live in person so you can't hide
- 28:41on a live stream. If it's going out live, they
- 28:43can't edit it, they can't change it in in post production.
- 28:47And if it's in person, then you're not going to have any
- 28:50concern about AI, about people in an earpiece, because that's
- 28:53always the concern when you do it remote is that if you're in a
- 28:56different studio, then there's always suspicion people are
- 28:58going to say, well, who's in the earpiece?
- 29:00Is there a teleprompter? Are they being fed something in
- 29:03real time in this day and age by AI?
- 29:05It makes it not fair. I'm a big believer in that.
- 29:07So this is like the perfect setup.
- 29:09I mean, it's on a silver platter.
- 29:11They said we're going to answer every question and you are
- 29:14invited live in person. We'll stream it and you can ask
- 29:17anything. That's a giant victory because
- 29:21even if you're someone like myself that believes that
- 29:23Turning Point was not involved in it, this is due diligence.
- 29:27This is transparency. If you had any questions about
- 29:30it, you would want this because this is going to bring the facts
- 29:33to light. And by the way, I will say, even
- 29:35if somebody that disagrees vehemently with Candace and what
- 29:38she's doing, and I don't even like her, it is on, ironically,
- 29:41a victory for her. Now, I think that how she
- 29:44achieved this was a reckless disregard for the truth.
- 29:48That being said, she got it. She got the show and I would
- 29:51watch it and I would watch it with an open mind.
- 29:53And if you care about the truth, you would say, yeah, go, go to
- 29:56the. It would easily be the most
- 29:58watched thing of the year. I like not even close.
- 30:02It would be the most watched event of the year if Candace sat
- 30:05down with Turning Point USA and Erica Kirk at the Turning Point
- 30:10studio and talk this out. It would easily be that big.
- 30:14And Candace backing out is really odd.
- 30:17I mean, Nick makes some incredible points about this.
- 30:20Headquarters and we'll find out if you're right.
- 30:22We will apologize. If you're right, then I will eat
- 30:25this hat. I will eat this hat on the show.
- 30:30And I will apologize and say, you know what?
- 30:32She was right all along and she's the journalist of the
- 30:34century because she exposed this.
- 30:36She forced them to be transparent, and then she got
- 30:38him on the stream. I'd be the first one.
- 30:40Honest to God, I think she should do it.
- 30:43And if she's proven wrong, well, then at the minimum, if you're a
- 30:47defender, you could say, well, she got transparency.
- 30:50She fought for the truth when no one else fought as hard.
- 30:53And whether it goes her way or it doesn't go her way, everyone
- 30:56is better off because now we know the answers.
- 30:58We have more information than when we started.
- 31:00And that's good. And it might hurt her pride.
- 31:03It might hurt her ego. I don't even, and it might
- 31:05discredit her. But you know what?
- 31:07There's a way that she could spin that.
- 31:08And she could say, well, you know what?
- 31:09We pushed and we got to the bottom of it.
- 31:13But you have to do it. So they tell her you can come
- 31:16out and you can go to the studio.
- 31:18We'll do a live ask anything you and you can respond in 24 hours,
- 31:22I think they said. And so Candace goes on her show
- 31:24and she says name the time, name the place.
- 31:26I'll do it. Let's do it tomorrow.
- 31:28We don't have to plan it. We don't need lawyers.
- 31:30Let's just do it 'cause I care about the truth.
- 31:34So at midnight last night, Turning Point puts out a
- 31:36statement. This is what they say.
- 31:39This is Blake Naff. Blake Naff says, quote.
- 31:41The live stream we announced on the show Wednesday has been set
- 31:43at 4:00 PM Eastern, 2:00 PM local time.
- 31:46On Monday, December 15th, a collection of Charlie's friends
- 31:48will respond to statements made by Candace Owens to set the
- 31:51record straight once and for all prior to the opening of
- 31:53Americafest. Which is there, that this is
- 31:55their big conference, which is going to take place like a day
- 31:57later. He says we'll be live streaming
- 32:00from Charlie's Phoenix studio. Our offer from yesterday holds.
- 32:03If Candace wishes to join us in person in Phoenix, she is
- 32:06welcome to do so. She can let us know by the end
- 32:08of the day. Beautiful, perfect.
- 32:11If I'm Candace Owens, I am jumping on a private jet and I'm
- 32:15there. She's got that kind of money.
- 32:17Her husband's loaded. She makes millions of dollars
- 32:20from her YouTube channel. You know how loaded her family
- 32:23is. Her her father-in-law is this
- 32:26loaded commodities trader. He's one of the biggest donors
- 32:28for the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom.
- 32:30And Candace has don't donors too like John Mappen or is it Joe
- 32:34John? I know that John Mappin would
- 32:36pay for her private flight. The Scientologist that
- 32:39introduced her to her husband George Farmer.
- 32:41John Mappin, the Scientologist who descends from the family
- 32:45that makes the jewels for the British crown.
- 32:48John Mappin, the man that takes credit for introducing her and
- 32:51her husband at Turning Point UK, the organization that he funded
- 32:56that launched an event that he hosted.
- 32:59I'm sure that Mappin would love to pay for that flight.
- 33:01He's been writing letters about her, writing Substack posts, and
- 33:04she's been retweeting him. He would pay for the private
- 33:06jet. She could literally take a
- 33:07private jet armed to the teeth with a private security force
- 33:11and she could arrange that. It's in 10 days.
- 33:14This was her response. She says quote kind of weird how
- 33:19you didn't e-mail or call me to ask about times or availability
- 33:22and chose to instead tweet this confirmation out at midnight.
- 33:27Really. Why am I learning about this on
- 33:29X? Why am I learning about this?
- 33:31I I love the like Karen tone. She's such a bitch.
- 33:34It's unbelievable. It's not, it's not why did you
- 33:37do this? It's why am I learning about
- 33:39this on X? She reminds me of every bitchy
- 33:44mom in my like Midwestern town, every one of those like Snooty.
- 33:50Why am I learning about this on X?
- 33:52She says December 15th does not work in person and 2:00 PM is
- 33:57also the literal time I do my podcast every day, which you
- 34:01knew. But we will happily cancel the
- 34:03daily podcast and join you guys virtually instead for the live
- 34:06stream on the 15th. If that works on your end, let's
- 34:08lock it in. And I love it's, this is the
- 34:13Candace Owens MO. It's to find things that are
- 34:16completely arbitrary and then just vaguely insinuate that
- 34:19there's something conspiratorial.
- 34:20So she says. Kind of weird how you didn't
- 34:23e-mail or call me to ask about times.
- 34:26What's weird about that? Didn't you say on your show, on
- 34:30your own show name, the time, name the place.
- 34:32We don't need to plan it. We don't need lawyers.
- 34:34Just just say it. And so they go on Twitter and
- 34:37say, well, this is when we're doing the live stream and you're
- 34:40welcome to join us. And she goes, MMM, kind of
- 34:42weird. Not weird.
- 34:43No, it's kind of weird. I'm sorry.
- 34:45What's weird about that? You think they're going to send
- 34:47you an e-mail after you accuse them of killing their boss?
- 34:51Crazy. And you said yourself, you're
- 34:52not going to go through lawyers. So how exactly did you want it?
- 34:55Did you want it carried by a messenger pigeon?
- 34:58She goes, why am I finding out about this on X?
- 35:00This is really weird. Why didn't you call me?
- 35:01Call you? You're telling them that they
- 35:03killed their boss. You think they're going to say,
- 35:05hey, Candace, hi, hope you're doing well.
- 35:08So we're thinking of doing this live stream defending ourselves
- 35:10from the allegation that we're working with France and Israel
- 35:13to kill our own boss and friend that you're that you're telling
- 35:16millions of people with no evidence.
- 35:17When did you want to do that? What works for?
- 35:19How do you think that's going to go?
- 35:22She goes, why am I learning about it on X?
- 35:24Then she says you chose to tweet this confirmation out at
- 35:26midnight again. OK, So what?
- 35:30What? When were they supposed to tweet
- 35:31it out during business hours? You're only supposed to respond
- 35:34to these things during business hours.
- 35:35You know, it's a 21st century. Like people are up at midnight,
- 35:38we're on social media, you're up at midnight even.
- 35:40What are you talking about? Isn't it weird that they posted
- 35:42it on Twitter and at midnight? No, not really.
- 35:45What is that part of the French Connection to?
- 35:47It's like with the text messages on Discord.
- 35:50L Reeve is pressing her saying how do you know the text
- 35:53messages are fake? And she goes, they don't have
- 35:54any time stamps. OK, so El Reef said.
- 35:58Do you have any evidence they're fake?
- 35:59She goes no. OK, then she goes and says it
- 36:03doesn't work in person. OK, why not?
- 36:05Like genuinely what excuse do you have?
- 36:08Anyway, we'll get into that in a minute.
- 36:10Suffice to say she says I can't make it in person, but let's do
- 36:12a stream. So Blake responds, he says.
- 36:16Yesterday we made it clear that we would be scheduling a formal
- 36:19response to the allegations and accusations you have made.
- 36:21We've decided that response will be delivered during a live
- 36:24stream on December 15th. Thank you for your response
- 36:26letting us know you will not be joining the in person
- 36:28conversation. We will proceed without you, she
- 36:30replies. It has been decided by the
- 36:32public that the best response for this is for my team to live
- 36:36stream your live stream and provide commentary.
- 36:39Since you already picked our regular podcasting time.
- 36:42We look forward to providing live responses to your once and
- 36:44for all answers. And if we could just back it up
- 36:49for a minute, if you actually watch Blake Neff's statement on
- 36:52Wednesday, he said exactly that. He said we have to respond to
- 36:57these allegations because they won't let it go.
- 37:00He said we're going to issue a formal response.
- 37:02We're going to do it live in the studio later in the month.
- 37:05We'll announce it soon, he said. And Candace is welcome to join
- 37:08us. He didn't say we're going to
- 37:10call her up and have a live debate over Zoom.
- 37:13He said we are forced to respond to the allegations.
- 37:15We're going to do it here in the studio live later in the month.
- 37:18We're going to pick a time and she is welcome to join us.
- 37:20That's what he said. And then what she said is name
- 37:25the time, name the place. We don't need to plan it.
- 37:27We don't need lawyers. Let's do it tomorrow.
- 37:28Let's do it anytime. They announced on Twitter.
- 37:32We're doing our stream on the 15th.
- 37:34You're welcome to join us. She comes out and says I can't
- 37:36do that. What about it?
- 37:37Then she changes the deal. She insinuates there's funny
- 37:40business, even though there's nothing funny about that at all.
- 37:42That's what he said. That's what you said.
- 37:44Oh, this is really weird. This is really strange.
- 37:46Why'd you say to Midnight? That's what I'm doing.
- 37:47My show, your show is about this.
- 37:51It's about this. She goes and anyway, I can't do
- 37:53it in person. That's no good, no excuse given.
- 37:57You know, it'd be one thing. And by the way, I think you kind
- 37:59of owe it to your audience. It'd be one thing if she said.
- 38:01100% who? Even knows like.
- 38:04I don't like, I'm someone who's giving Candace shit.
- 38:06And then I was like, you know, we're going to back off.
- 38:08And it's like, maybe she might be on to something, maybe not,
- 38:12but maybe she is. And then she gets this
- 38:15opportunity. Like Nick said, it's a victory
- 38:17for her. They've responded.
- 38:19They've said come and debate this.
- 38:22And she's like, you know what? I'm just going to react to your
- 38:24debate or I'm just going to react to your response.
- 38:27It's like, what the fuck? Like people have been waiting
- 38:29months for this moment and you're blowing it up Candace for
- 38:32no reason. No, no, I'm going to my dad's
- 38:35funeral or something. Like if there was some excuse, I
- 38:39think we're owed that. But not even an excuse.
- 38:41Oh, that's no good for me. How about Zoom changes the deal
- 38:45and Blake comes out and says, well, you know, it's not really
- 38:47what we said. This is when we're doing it and
- 38:49you can come, and if you're not going to come, then OK, we'll
- 38:51proceed without you. She comes back and says, well,
- 38:53I'll live stream the live stream.
- 38:55And you go, so what's really the whole point of all this?
- 38:57This is what you wanted. This is transparency.
- 39:01You're so busy that you can't fly out and do it.
- 39:03And by the way, she has been talking about this
- 39:06assassination, milking it every day for three months.
- 39:10And it truly is milking at these like, cliffhangers, the
- 39:14clickbait. She's been withholding evidence
- 39:17the whole time. She's withholding lots of things
- 39:20that she says. Well, I'm going to wait to put
- 39:21this out. I'm going to wait to tell you
- 39:22everything Charlie told me in my dream and every week it's you
- 39:26got to tune in tomorrow. I just got a groundbreaking
- 39:28every week. It's a groundbreaking discovery
- 39:30and it never really is. She's been milking this for
- 39:33three months to her personal enrichment and self
- 39:36aggrandizement. She has gotten millions of
- 39:38subscribers and views, probably millions of dollars at the
- 39:41minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars in three months.
- 39:45Her podcast has skyrocketed to the top off of this and she
- 39:48claims that she is obsessively that she will not let it go.
- 39:52She is obsessed with getting to the bottom of this conspiracy
- 39:56because she sees herself as in the middle of a spiritual,
- 39:59cosmic, intercontinental political battle that involves
- 40:02of the French government, the Israeli government, the US
- 40:05government. Charlie is communing with her in
- 40:07dreams. She's having visions about it.
- 40:10So she's at the center of a global satanic conspiracy.
- 40:14It's entered into the spiritual realm.
- 40:16She has been appointed or anointed to do this because she
- 40:19was Charlie's friend and she's not like all these people that
- 40:22betrayed him. She's an Angel.
- 40:23Everyone else is 2 faced. She is perfect.
- 40:26So she's the only one that's going to do this.
- 40:28And that's why she's hell bent on doing this show and the song
- 40:30and dance every day to get the truth, to get to the bottom of
- 40:34it for her friend. OK, well, she's been alleging
- 40:39the Turning Point killed their own boss, that Erica might have
- 40:41killed her own husband and she's now the head of Turning Point,
- 40:43and that his closest friends killed him.
- 40:45She says Charlie told her that in the dream.
- 40:48Apparently she has evidence of this.
- 40:49She says, I'm going to name names.
- 40:51She says, don't play with me, I'm going to name names.
- 40:53I'm going to air you out. They say, all right, all right,
- 40:56already come to the studio. We'll explain it in person.
- 40:59Ask anything. She goes, oh, I'm busy that day.
- 41:01What could you possibly be busy with if everything you're saying
- 41:05is true? What could possibly be more
- 41:07important? Because in your own words, this
- 41:09is about your friendship with Charlie.
- 41:11This is about the relationship between France and the United
- 41:14States. They're making an attempt on
- 41:15your life. Allegedly, you're being told
- 41:19messages in dreams. God and and the dead are
- 41:22communicating to you in visions and in dreams to do this.
- 41:27What could be more important, honestly?
- 41:31And she says, well, I'm, I'm too busy to go in person, but I'm
- 41:34going to live stream it. So you're not busy on the actual
- 41:37day because you're going to live stream their live stream.
- 41:41You're going to live stream the live stream that you can't
- 41:43attend in person. So you're not that busy.
- 41:47So what is it that you have going on in the morning?
- 41:50It's like a three hour flight from Nashville to Phoenix.
- 41:52It's not a long flight. And what time are they doing it
- 41:55locally? They're doing it 2:00 PM local
- 41:59time, so you can't catch a flight at 11 AM on that morning
- 42:04and then fly back. It doesn't even make any sense.
- 42:08You can do your own stream in your own house.
- 42:09So you got something going on in the morning or the afternoon.
- 42:12Like you can squeeze in a stream about the stream, but you can't,
- 42:15you can't make a quick trip over there on a private jet, she
- 42:19said. Oh, I can't make it.
- 42:20So what could be more important then people say well.
- 42:22Yeah, and it's like when if anyone's like, oh, but a private
- 42:25jet costs a ton, Candace's husband is worth like 100
- 42:29something, $1,000,000, a private jet back and forth round trip,
- 42:34unless she gets like, you know, like Gulfstream or something.
- 42:38I mean, even if she gets a Gulfstream, like it's not going
- 42:40to cost her more than 3045 grand, which, yeah, that's a lot
- 42:46of money. But to her and her family and
- 42:49the amount of money she's made, you know, drip feeding this
- 42:52information, it's really not that much money.
- 42:55And this is exactly what she's been trying to get.
- 42:58And once they give it to her, she's like, you know what?
- 43:01No, it's fucking insane. Again, proving my point.
- 43:05Women in politics, we don't need them.
- 43:07Maybe she's worried about her life.
- 43:10She's worried about being killed.
- 43:12OK, I understand that. I was worried that Tucker
- 43:15Carlson might kill me when I did his show.
- 43:16But I went. You sort of have to go if you're
- 43:19going to be a martyr. That's part of it.
- 43:21You have to be courageous. You have to be brave.
- 43:23You're not courageous and brave for going and beating your chest
- 43:26and doing all these things. And then you get the opportunity
- 43:29that you have to act on. And you say, oh, I'm afraid, no.
- 43:32And you have to step up and face the music.
- 43:35I'll add, maybe you don't find that convincing.
- 43:39If she's so afraid for her life, why was she at Tucker Carlson's
- 43:41Christmas party in Nashville last night?
- 43:44Yep. Why was she a Dollywood on
- 43:46Thanksgiving? The theme park?
- 43:48So allegedly, the French government and the Israeli
- 43:51intelligence have put a hit out on you.
- 43:54They've paid millions of dollars to kill you, but you're walking
- 43:56around a theme park in your town.
- 43:59You're walking around, for those who don't know Dolly, what is a
- 44:00Dollywood? Dolly Land.
- 44:02It's like Dolly Parton's Disney World.
- 44:04You're walking around Disney World.
- 44:07You're walking around an amusement park in your hometown
- 44:09on the holiday weekend when allegedly everyone's trying to
- 44:12kill you. Then you go to a Christmas party
- 44:15with Tucker Carlson in the same city attended by hundreds of
- 44:18people, and people know you're going to be there with Tucker
- 44:20and all the base people in one room.
- 44:22But you can't go to Turning Point, where everybody knows
- 44:24you're going to be. And if anything happened to you,
- 44:26God forbid, they would immediately blame Turning Point.
- 44:28It doesn't even make any sense. So she says I'm going to live
- 44:32stream the live stream, and I'm going to Fact Check it in real
- 44:34time. Why?
- 44:36I think we all know why. She's totally full of shit.
- 44:40She doesn't care about the truth.
- 44:41If she did, she would go no matter the cost.
- 44:44If she were really courageous and a truth teller, she would
- 44:47bootstrap it and she would say, wish me luck.
- 44:50She would kiss her husband when she walks out the door and say
- 44:52it might not be coming back. And she would go and just fully
- 44:54send it and do it. Because if, if this is really,
- 44:58as she says, of cosmic, spiritual, geopolitical
- 45:01significance, you have to. And it's being offered up on a
- 45:04silver platter. You just have to, after talking
- 45:06all this shit, driving everybody against each other for the past
- 45:10three months, you got to do it. So clearly she doesn't believe
- 45:14what she's saying as far as the significance of all of this.
- 45:17Secondly, I don't think she believes what she's saying about
- 45:19Turning Point. Why does she not want to go in
- 45:21person? Because if she goes in person,
- 45:24she might get caught on the back foot.
- 45:26She might find out that her whole theory was wrong and that
- 45:29all of her facts are wrong, and she might not be able to explain
- 45:31herself. If she's at home, she's not
- 45:34under pressure. What's more, she's got her
- 45:36producer in her ear, like she did when I was on her show, like
- 45:39she does on all her shows. What's the producer's name?
- 45:41Skyler. She's going to have Skyler in
- 45:43her ear. So when she mispronounces
- 45:44something or she gets something wrong, she's going to say
- 45:46Skyler. Skyler, what was that?
- 45:48And Skyler can be on AI. Skyler could be on Twitter, and
- 45:51he can help her out. She can have air support.
- 45:53That's what this is about. And so she knows first of all,
- 45:57it's obviously she does not mean what she says.
- 46:00It is not that important to her. And she does not have the
- 46:02courage of her convictions. She knows she's going to melt at
- 46:04turning point. She needs backup.
- 46:06So then she's going to engage in yet another lie.
- 46:09And then she's going to gaslight the world and say, oh, I'm not a
- 46:13coward. I don't.
- 46:14It's not that I don't have the courage of my convictions.
- 46:16It's they are being weird. They're being weird.
- 46:20I'm not backing down. Gaslighting.
- 46:23They said we're going to do a stream.
- 46:24You said name the time and place.
- 46:26They did. Now you're saying you can't go
- 46:28in person, but you can live stream it.
- 46:31And we all know why that is. But then she'll turn around and
- 46:33say, Oh, I'm not a coward. I, I just, they're just being
- 46:36weird. They announced it at midnight.
- 46:37So that's why I can't go. You can't go because they
- 46:40announced it at midnight. You can't go because you're
- 46:42seeing this on Twitter and not in your inbox.
- 46:44I mean, what are you even talking about?
- 46:46And so this is where it's like, if you're still on this train, I
- 46:50honestly have no respect for you.
- 46:53If you're still on board after this, I don't know how anybody
- 46:55can can buy in. And, and like I said, I'm not
- 46:58saying this for rhetorical effect.
- 47:00I would love, I would actually love to see her talk to Turning
- 47:03Point because there's no, there's not a losing scenario
- 47:06there. If she goes to Turning Point,
- 47:09we're either going to find out that she was right all along.
- 47:12She's going to bring the receipts, she's going to name
- 47:13the names, she's going to put the screws in these people and
- 47:16she is going to blow the lid on everything.
- 47:17And you know what? If she's right, we want to know
- 47:20if she's right. I want to know that and I want
- 47:22to see it. I want to see it proved.
- 47:25And if she's right, I will issue a public apology on video and
- 47:29writing. I will say, you know what?
- 47:30I doubted you. I didn't get it.
- 47:32You were right all along, blah, blah, honest to God.
- 47:35And if she's wrong, then we'll know that too.
- 47:37We'll know that whatever the errors she made are, we will
- 47:41know what they are. And maybe it'll bring us closer
- 47:43to a bigger truth about what happened to Charlie Kirk.
- 47:45Whether it was Tyler Robinson or some other thing went on, or
- 47:47maybe Turning Point wasn't in on it.
- 47:49We'll know more. And I think everybody wants to
- 47:52see it. We want to see she's been
- 47:53building the energy for three months.
- 47:55This is supposed to be the climactic, like jury trial,
- 47:58courtroom drama moment. And she goes, I can't go, Well,
- 48:01you know what? I can't take you seriously then.
- 48:04This is one of those moments you just got to do it.
- 48:05Put up or shut up. You talk all this shit.
- 48:08She's on her show every day bobbing her head all cocky.
- 48:11I'm going to name names and you better not mess with me because
- 48:14I got the receipts and I'm going to name the names that doesn't
- 48:18fit. Yeah, she always goes, I'm going
- 48:20to name names and then she'll name one name and then she'll be
- 48:22like and then TuneIn tomorrow for the next name.
- 48:24It's like this isn't Bravo TV, this is politics.
- 48:29Give the fucking information the drip feeding.
- 48:33It's insane. With my timeline and you know,
- 48:36she's doing every day she's doing this bullshit.
- 48:38Finally they say, all right, you know what, fine, come to Turning
- 48:41Point. Let's just do a fucking live
- 48:42stream then ask us anything. She goes, oh, I can't do it that
- 48:45day. You know what then fuck you.
- 48:49Then you're just a malicious operative.
- 48:51That is pure malice. I like, there's just no excuse
- 48:54for that. And I'm hearing excuses.
- 48:57People say it's it's the holidays, she's got kids, she
- 48:59could get assassinated. That none of that adds up.
- 49:01That's all bullshit. And everybody knows that it's
- 49:03all a load of fucking bullshit. Everybody knows that if Ben
- 49:07Shapiro called me up and said let's debate, I would be on the
- 49:11next flight to debate Ben Shapiro.
- 49:14And it's not even comparable because I don't do a show every
- 49:17single day. Motherfucking Ben Shapiro for
- 49:18three months. I have a feud with him.
- 49:22But you know, if, what if Trump asked me to be on a stream, if
- 49:25Vance put me on a stream of Shapiro, you know, even if I
- 49:28didn't have complete confidence, I I would be nervous, but I
- 49:31would send it. I'd say I did it with Tucker.
- 49:34Tucker's people hit me up. They said come and do the show.
- 49:37I was very nervous. I thought he might kill me, but
- 49:41I said I can't. I literally told myself I can't
- 49:43back down. When I got the text, I was
- 49:45filled with apprehension and fear in the moment.
- 49:48But I said I can't back down now.
- 49:50I'll, I'll, I will either get destroyed or it'll be OK or
- 49:53it'll be a triumph. I said, but I can't, I can't
- 49:55back down. That would be far worse.
- 49:57So I said, yeah, fuck it, let's do it.
- 49:59They said we'll book your travel.
- 50:00I don't normally let people book my travel for security, but I
- 50:02said, if that's what you do, that's what you do, fine.
- 50:05And I let him book all my stuff. And I went and I was, I was
- 50:08nervous about it and I was uneasy the entire time, but I
- 50:13went and I, I, I steeled myself and did it.
- 50:16And that's what you have to do because I actually care if I go
- 50:20and I'm attacking talker and I'm saying, you know what man, bring
- 50:22me on the show then bring me on the show.
- 50:24You want a piece of me, let's do it.
- 50:25When he said let's do a show, I said name the time, name the
- 50:28place. They gave me dates.
- 50:29I picked one. We went out there, we did it.
- 50:31I think they hit me up on October 5th and I came out on
- 50:35October 20. That's also the other thing with
- 50:37Candace, like she said the same thing.
- 50:38Name a time, name a place they named a time and place.
- 50:41And instead of saying, hey, that day doesn't work for me, can we
- 50:43do it this day? Can we do it this day?
- 50:45She was like, you know what? I'm just going to do my own live
- 50:48stream reacting to yours. So like, did you actually want
- 50:51to talk to them or what the fuck was this entire thing May. 9th
- 50:56So I had a little bit more notice, but nevertheless I said
- 50:59fuck it, I'll go out there and I'll do it.
- 51:02Same thing with Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan hit me up the other
- 51:04day on Thanksgiving or around Thanksgiving, come and do the
- 51:07show. I said, how's next Monday?
- 51:10So I saw that. It's just like, how do people
- 51:14buy into this? Now?
- 51:14I'm really disappointed in that. I mean, I'm not, I can't be too
- 51:17disappointed because it's not a surprise.
- 51:19But it's like the audacity shocks even me to drive the
- 51:22country apart like this, drive people to insanity over this.
- 51:27Then you're given the opportunity to finally prove
- 51:29everybody wrong. And, and this is what she says
- 51:31on the show. She says, she says, I have
- 51:34receipts. I'm going to name names.
- 51:35She's saying Tyler Boyer is a child molester.
- 51:38And look, I, I've talked to Tyler Boyer and I don't know him
- 51:43really well. I'd, I wouldn't consider him a
- 51:45friend. I don't think he's molesting
- 51:47guys at turning point. And if you're going to claim
- 51:50that you need extraordinary evidence, actually you're going
- 51:53to need extraordinary evidence to prove that.
- 51:55And she says, I've got the receipts.
- 51:56She says Tyler Boyer is is messing with young guys at
- 51:59Turning Point events. You don't go and they invite you
- 52:03to explain that you don't go and face him.
- 52:05But what about the kids then? So, you know, who can take that
- 52:09seriously that that's just like that is malicious and harmful.
- 52:13To go and say a wife killed her husband, to go and say a guy is
- 52:17sexually abusive, to go and say Charlie was betrayed by every
- 52:20single one of his friends. And to tell everybody, I have
- 52:22the proof and I'm going to name names.
- 52:24They tell you, OK, bring it on. And you go, oh, I can't make it
- 52:26that day. Oh, oh, please.
- 52:29Candace. And I said this earlier this
- 52:31year. I, I have Candace Owens fatigue.
- 52:33It's a it's a species of black fatigue.
- 52:35You know, people have black fatigue.
- 52:37I have Candace Owens fatigue. We got black.
- 52:39Loudmouth fucking idiot, total loudmouth, fucking black female
- 52:44narcissist retarded idiot is what she is, and a fucking
- 52:47coward at that. Given this, I've so had enough.
- 52:52So I mean, I, I watch that show, I don't know how she's going to
- 52:55face, but you know what the audience is going to enable That
- 52:57audience reflexively makes excuses for that, but I've had
- 53:03it. I mean, I, I just can't stand it
- 53:04anymore. I have absolute Canis Owens
- 53:06fatigue. I think the country is so sick
- 53:07and tired of her. It's not even smart, it's just
- 53:09dumb. It's just dumb and, and
- 53:12malicious and, you know, and I'm sick of hearing about it.
- 53:16So I can't wait until one of these people sues her.
- 53:19She really deserves it. She's got it coming.
- 53:21And I, you know, I'm, I'm hesitant to say that because I'm
- 53:24close friends with Alex Jones and I hate to see Alex going
- 53:26through it, but at this point it's like, this is.
- 53:29And by the way, I'm going to say this also as somebody in the
- 53:32information space, this is hurting all of us.
- 53:35And I'm not saying, oh, it's violence or whatever, but I'm
- 53:37saying we're in a moment where we need truth tellers.
- 53:40We need people that are going to leave no stone unturned.
- 53:44We need people that are going to bring alternative narratives
- 53:47about what's happening in the world.
- 53:48And she is hurting us in two ways.
- 53:49One, she makes us all look crazy.
- 53:52How? Because there's all the
- 53:54difference in the world between looking at open secrets, the
- 53:57website, and looking at which billionaires are giving which
- 53:59politicians money. There's all the difference
- 54:01between looking at these patronage networks and who's
- 54:04being funded by who and which media companies are being funded
- 54:07by who. That's one thing.
- 54:08It's another thing to say I've had visions.
- 54:11I'm having visions and dreams of beekeepers and Egyptian
- 54:14aircraft. That's totally insane.
- 54:17And, and for her to concoct this conspiracy going back to the
- 54:19French Revolution and it's about product paper clip and MK Ultra
- 54:23and the Stanford Prison experiment, and it's about Egypt
- 54:26and France and Mccrone and that and Charlie Kirk and this one,
- 54:28you're just making all of us look totally insane.
- 54:30You're a kook. And by the way, this is a real
- 54:33strategy. Cass Sunstein created this.
- 54:37Cass Sunstein worked in the Obama administration.
- 54:40He wrote him, and I believe he's from Harvard.
- 54:41He's from one of the Ivy Leagues.
- 54:43He wrote a paper about this. He said the way to destroy
- 54:46conspiracy theorists, it's not to debate them, it's not to
- 54:48debunk them. It's to make them look dumb by
- 54:51flooding the zone with crazy stuff.
- 54:53And so for example, with 911, you've got very real evidence
- 54:56there. You've got the dancing Israelis,
- 54:58you've got the art students, you've got the text message that
- 55:01went out to all the Israelis. Like you've got some real things
- 55:03that warrant attention. But then you have people saying
- 55:06the planes were holograms. Then you have people saying
- 55:09saying things like that and they make you look crazy.
- 55:12That's 1/2 is in a media environment when everybody is
- 55:16clamoring for censorship and to suppress disinformation.
- 55:20What do you think this does to those arguments?
- 55:24Because 10 years ago, I would say I'm a free speech
- 55:26absolutist. How could you censor the truth?
- 55:28If you're censoring it, it means it's true.
- 55:31Here we are 10 years later, you've got this psycho.
- 55:33She had millions of views, and she's literally deputizing her
- 55:37followers to like, look at all the people in the audience,
- 55:40college students, like some kid in Turning Point.
- 55:43Find this person, find his name, interrogate like that.
- 55:45That is actually reckless. It is actually reckless.
- 55:49There's a responsible way to do that, and then there's an
- 55:51irresponsible way when you just start throwing things out
- 55:54without evidence, whipping your followers up into.
- 55:57It and I, I know some of the information she's saying is
- 56:00definitely bullshit because one of my viewers is one of the
- 56:04people who just like emailed her something crazy out of nowhere,
- 56:07something that wasn't true, something that they kind of just
- 56:10made-up, but they emailed it to her tip line.
- 56:12And then she was talking about it on her show, saying it was
- 56:15one of the real things they had to do with the Egyptian plains.
- 56:18I forget exactly what it was, but Candace is really just
- 56:22reading her emails and being like, oh shit, this person said
- 56:25this got to be true. And that's legitimately
- 56:28happening because one of my viewers has literally done that
- 56:31and he just made it up. So you're hilarious for doing
- 56:34that, by the way. To a frenzy that they're,
- 56:37they're fighting some satanic conspiracy and that's why they
- 56:39need to go and look at this private individual or this, this
- 56:43student that asked a question that's reckless.
- 56:46It's reckless and irresponsible in the way you're treating this
- 56:50process. It's not rigorous.
- 56:52It's not rigorous. There's no sense of, of
- 56:54responsibility for society. And it bolsters arguments that
- 57:00we shouldn't have complete free speech.
- 57:02It actually fortifies those arguments because how many times
- 57:05do you think this nonsense will be cited in a future
- 57:07congressional hearing about why we can't have free speech on
- 57:09YouTube or why we can't have free speech on Twitter?
- 57:13It hurts all of us. And, and even with regard to the
- 57:16Jewish conspiracy, it doesn't help that we're trying to
- 57:20articulate a very clear idea of what's going on, which is that
- 57:23you have something like a state within a state.
- 57:26Jews are a transnational nation. They live across borders, and
- 57:30they are represented by something like a state.
- 57:33The organized jewelry is like a government of all the Jews in
- 57:36the world. And so the way they operate in
- 57:38the United States and Israel, it's like a state within a
- 57:39state. It'd be like if China was able
- 57:43to call on with authority all the Chinese people in America.
- 57:46You would say, well, maybe not every Chinese person will heed
- 57:48the call, but if the powerful ones do, it might be a problem.
- 57:50Like we're trying to articulate something, I think very
- 57:53supportable like that. And she comes in and says, no,
- 57:55it's the Stanford Prison Experiment and MK Ultra and
- 57:57Project Paper Clip and the Francas and the French
- 57:59Revolution. And you're like, yeah, you're
- 58:02making us look crazy. You're making us look like
- 58:03idiots. So I continue to believe this is
- 58:07like this little tear that she's been on.
- 58:08It has been one of the most damaging things to our side.
- 58:13People are always asking me, how do you feel about your
- 58:15generational run? How do you feel that everyone's
- 58:17red pill now? I think I'm always waiting for
- 58:19the next shoe to drop. That's how I feel.
- 58:22And I'm always worried that it's going to go too far.
- 58:24People are going to get carried away, and we're going to invite
- 58:27a pendulum swing back in the other direction.
- 58:28And I think that's what she's doing.
- 58:31And it's not good. So.
- 58:33So I saw this today. I'm like, it's just
- 58:35unbelievable. Earlier in the year, I said my
- 58:36only response to Candace is just like, OK, you are so tiresome.
- 58:40I just look at her nonsense and I say, OK, Candace.
- 58:44She tells them anytime, any place they go, OK, here's the
- 58:47time and place she goes, well, that's not good for me.
- 58:49And that's weird that you said it.
- 58:50At midnight, you go. OK, Candace, really.
- 58:54The French are trying to kill me.
- 58:55Really. Did you tell law enforcement?
- 58:57Well, I didn't submit it in any formal way.
- 58:59I didn't submit it in any of the formal channels.
- 59:01I just sent it to a buddy of mine.
- 59:02Oh, OK, Candace, I have all the receipts.
- 59:06I'm going to name names. They invited you out there.
- 59:07You're not going to go. OK.
- 59:10Such a ridiculous person. And, and whatever she's she is
- 59:13what she is. At the minimum, she's profiting
- 59:15from it, which really pathetic are the fans, which really
- 59:18pathetic are the cultists. And no matter what, no matter
- 59:21how off she is, no matter how wrong she is, it's like a
- 59:24religious thing. It's like a weird, it's almost
- 59:27like a weird religious, charismatic thing.
- 59:29People say that about me, but I don't think that's true because
- 59:32I think I'm self deprecating and I think that, look, I get
- 59:35attacked all the time and I think I can admit when I'm wrong
- 59:38and I think that I have a pretty rigorous process.
- 59:40This is like a weird charismatic religious thing.
- 59:43It's almost strikes me as like a weird Protestant, like religious
- 59:46guru thing. The way that she's fashioning
- 59:48herself is almost like a spiritual figure.
- 59:51It reminds me of what it must have been like in the Middle
- 59:53Ages. Somebody says, you know, oh, I
- 59:56I've got a private revelation or something like that and start to
- 59:59build up a following in like a village of medieval peasants.
- 1:00:01That's what it feels like. And it's embarrassing.
- 1:00:04It's fucking embarrassing. It's funny not.
- 1:00:07Cool. But anyway, that's that.
- 1:00:08We're going to move on. We're going to talk about
- 1:00:09Venezuela. That was awesome.
- 1:00:12That was we're we're going to watch the Venezuela part as
- 1:00:14well. I just want to go over what we
- 1:00:17just this is the first time I'm watching this as well.
- 1:00:19I've just seen a couple 5 minute clips and that's about it.
- 1:00:22But yeah, I mean, even Candace this morning called Nick a fed
- 1:00:27on X Candace is Candace is losing this situation right now.
- 1:00:32I mean, Candace every single day for the last few months has
- 1:00:36talked about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
- 1:00:38She has openly blamed the Turning Point USA employees,
- 1:00:42blame multiple foreign nations, and even possibly Erica Kirk,
- 1:00:46the widowed wife of Charlie Kirk.
- 1:00:48And I don't think Erica should be the CEO of Turning Point, but
- 1:00:52when she's blaming the entire Turning Point administration,
- 1:00:54including Erica Kirk for it, Candace pretty much has an
- 1:00:58obligation to go and debate them, answer the questions when
- 1:01:01they extend the invite. And Candace not only saying no,
- 1:01:05but not even pitching like an an alternative date just shows that
- 1:01:10either Candace is a complete fucking coward or Candace has
- 1:01:14just been lying this entire time, drip feeding information
- 1:01:17like a woman, treating politics like a Bravo TV show.
- 1:01:22And Nick's not wrong when he's like, I have Candace fatigue at
- 1:01:24this point because it's real. I mean, it's very real and it
- 1:01:27almost is. It's pretty insane that people
- 1:01:31are not opening up their eyes to this because I like I said in
- 1:01:34the beginning, I was somebody who was like, we're going to
- 1:01:35support Candace where, you know, we're not going to counter
- 1:01:38signal her. And it's gotten to the point
- 1:01:40where she is just outright refusing to acknowledge the
- 1:01:45debate or do the debate when this is what she has been
- 1:01:49working for. She's been saying for three
- 1:01:51months. Why won't you guys talk to me?
- 1:01:52Why won't you talk to me? I've asked them this question.
- 1:01:54I'm waiting for them to answer this question.
- 1:01:56I reached out to them and it's like, OK, they reached out to
- 1:01:59you. They said come on the show live
- 1:02:02so it won't be edited. And she's like, you know what?
- 1:02:04No, like, what the fuck? It's insane.
- 1:02:08We're going to keep going with the show, though.
- 1:02:12That's very harmful. We're going to get into the
- 1:02:15situation unfolding in the Caribbean.
- 1:02:22Let's see. And we've been trying to get
- 1:02:25into this for the past few days, but I don't know, I feel like
- 1:02:28there's nothing that exciting to say about it.
- 1:02:31But we'll get into it tonight. There's been a lot of new
- 1:02:33developments on Venezuela, some of them from last week, some of
- 1:02:37them from this week. And as you know, we're on a war
- 1:02:39footing with Venezuela. It's very obvious the Trump
- 1:02:42administration has been fabricating A pretext for this
- 1:02:44war throughout the entire year. It's been very clear they have
- 1:02:48been accusing Venezuela of engaging in narco terrorism.
- 1:02:51Narco terrorism? They say that Venezuela is
- 1:02:54trafficking fentanyl and cocaine and other drugs into the United
- 1:02:57States. They say that the Venezuelan
- 1:02:59government in Caracas is actually operating the cartels
- 1:03:02that are doing this. So they say that Trende Aragua
- 1:03:05and the Cult of the Sun, these are the two big Venezuelan
- 1:03:08cartels. And they say that these cartels
- 1:03:11are controlled by the Venezuelan state.
- 1:03:13They say it's a narco state. Venezuelan's government gets
- 1:03:16revenue from the drug trade and that makes them a criminal
- 1:03:20regime. And this is the very sloppy and
- 1:03:23ad hoc and basically ridiculous justification for a war.
- 1:03:26And how does that work? Well, if they could say that
- 1:03:30Venezuela is engaging in terrorism, then they can make
- 1:03:34the case they're going to war with Venezuela as part of the
- 1:03:37War on Terror. That's a big part of it.
- 1:03:40The other thing, if they could say that it's a war about drug
- 1:03:43trafficking, then they can use the Coast Guard and the Navy to
- 1:03:47interdict what they claim to be drug trafficking vessels.
- 1:03:51And under that pretext, they can say we're going to bring all
- 1:03:53this military power into the Caribbean.
- 1:03:55We're going to bring F35 fighter jets and an aircraft carrier to
- 1:03:59destroy like cigarette boats or what do they call them, cigar
- 1:04:01boats? You're bringing an aircraft
- 1:04:04carrier strike group, an F35 fighter jets, the most advanced
- 1:04:07fighters in the world to blow up like 2 guys on a dinghy with
- 1:04:10some cocaine. It's a pretext to build up the
- 1:04:14military posture and to start provoking and antagonizing
- 1:04:17Venezuela. Ironically, it's Washington
- 1:04:20that's engaging in terrorism, and I know that's a loaded term,
- 1:04:23but by definition that's what it is.
- 1:04:25This is a strategy to terrorize Venezuela and the Venezuelan
- 1:04:28regime. They're going to put this
- 1:04:30overwhelming massive force presence off the coast of
- 1:04:33Venezuela and they're going to use it.
- 1:04:35They're going to bomb these little boats.
- 1:04:36They're going to fly bombers and fighter jets off the coast of
- 1:04:39Venezuela. And the purpose is to incite
- 1:04:43fear. It is to make the Venezuelan
- 1:04:45military and political apparatus believe that a military strike
- 1:04:49is imminent. And the message is we're here,
- 1:04:52and if we can bomb these boats, we can bomb you.
- 1:04:54And there's nothing you could do about it.
- 1:04:55We can bomb your airfields, your airports.
- 1:04:57We could bomb your governmental headquarters, military
- 1:05:00headquarters. We can touch you and you can't
- 1:05:02do anything. You're completely vulnerable.
- 1:05:04So that is what has been happening throughout the year is
- 1:05:06that slowly and steadily you have had simultaneous the naval
- 1:05:10force posture increasing in the Caribbean such that now we have
- 1:05:1425% of the active Navy deployed there.
- 1:05:16So I believe it's 10 naval vessels there, 10,000 U.S.
- 1:05:20soldiers, squadrons of F35 fighter jets, massive troop
- 1:05:23presence there. At the same time, you also have
- 1:05:26this justification, you have this flimsy justification for
- 1:05:30the war where they say, well, Venezuela is engaging in the
- 1:05:34drug trade. And by the way, that's not even
- 1:05:37true. Most of the cocaine that comes
- 1:05:39into the United States comes from Colombian and Mexican
- 1:05:42cartels. The fentanyl too, the drugs come
- 1:05:44from Mexico and Colombia for the most part, not really Venezuela.
- 1:05:48Venezuela is not one of the major players in the fentanyl in
- 1:05:51the manufacturer or the distribution of fentanyl in the
- 1:05:54United States or cocaine. It's not that they don't do it
- 1:05:56at all, but they're not one of the major countries doing it.
- 1:05:59And even the existence of of one of these cartels, the cult of
- 1:06:02the Sun, a lot of people say that's not even real.
- 1:06:05And the ties between the government and these cartels is
- 1:06:07tenuous. But again, the argument goes,
- 1:06:10here's the chain of reasoning. If the Venezuelan regime is
- 1:06:13funded by and in bed with or managing the cartels, and if the
- 1:06:17cartels are smuggling drugs into the United States, and if those
- 1:06:21drugs are killing Americans, then we could argue that's a
- 1:06:24form of terrorism for Americans to die from.
- 1:06:27Fentanyl is a form of terrorism because someone's dying.
- 1:06:30We can run that up the flagpole. That's Nicolas Maduro's fault.
- 1:06:34He's the chief terrorist. So if we go off their coast and
- 1:06:38bomb all their vessels and maybe eventually even bomb their
- 1:06:40government, well, that's part of the global War on Terror.
- 1:06:43We're defending ourselves at self-defense.
- 1:06:46And of course, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous because the real
- 1:06:49reason that Trump is doing this, we have to speak in terms of the
- 1:06:53players involved. the United States does nothing.
- 1:06:56Decision makers in government do things.
- 1:06:59And the decision makers in government that are relevant
- 1:07:00here are Donald Trump, the commander in chief, and Marco
- 1:07:03Rubio, the Secretary of State. And since the withdrawal of Mike
- 1:07:08Waltz, since he was dismissed, Rubio is also the national
- 1:07:11security advisor. So he heads up the National
- 1:07:13Security Council. That makes Rubio a very powerful
- 1:07:16Secretary of State. He has all the responsibilities
- 1:07:19and the powers of the chief diplomatic officer, but he also
- 1:07:22has all the intelligence and power of the national security
- 1:07:25advisor. That's all part of his
- 1:07:26portfolio. And if you know anything about
- 1:07:29Rubio, you know that he comes from South Florida, he's Cuban.
- 1:07:32His parents fled. Now everyone thinks that his
- 1:07:35parents fled the Cuban Revolution, the Communists.
- 1:07:38In reality, his parents fled the previous regime, the US puppet
- 1:07:41government. So he said, I hate communism.
- 1:07:44My parents fled communism. No, they, I believe they fled
- 1:07:46the previous regime. But anyway, Rubio's parents fled
- 1:07:50Cuba because of the turbulence there in the 50s and 60s.
- 1:07:54They settled in Florida where there's a thriving Cuban
- 1:07:56American community. And Rubio, ever since he was a
- 1:07:59kid, has this axe to grind against Castro and Cuba and
- 1:08:03communism hates Cuba. Well, more specifically, hates
- 1:08:06the communist government of Cuba, hates Castro, hates the
- 1:08:09regime, and you might say, well, what does Cuba have to do with
- 1:08:12Venezuela? Well, Venezuela is a socialist
- 1:08:14state also. And when Hugo Chavez came to
- 1:08:17power in Venezuela in 99, when they had their Bolivarian
- 1:08:20Revolution some years later, they became a very critical
- 1:08:22strategic ally of Cuba. And they're engaged in a very
- 1:08:25important relationship where Venezuela gives Cuba oil and
- 1:08:28Cuba gives them doctors. They have intelligence sharing.
- 1:08:31Cuban intelligence is spying on Venezuela's military class to
- 1:08:35make sure that they don't mutiny against Nicolas Maduro.
- 1:08:37So they rely on each other heavily.
- 1:08:39And Rubio has a very expansive view of this new foreign policy
- 1:08:44in the Caribbean. He believes that if we stick it
- 1:08:47to Maduro, Maduro is a most powerful socialist, you could
- 1:08:51say revisionist, rogue power in the Western Hemisphere, in the
- 1:08:54Caribbean. Out of all of them, Bolivia,
- 1:08:56Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela's probably the richest and most
- 1:08:59powerful as oil, gold and close contacts, relationships with
- 1:09:03Russia, China, Iran. Rubio believes that if we topple
- 1:09:06Maduro in Caracas, then there's going to be Domino's Falling In
- 1:09:11Reverse. You take out Maduro and then
- 1:09:13maybe you can roll up the communist regime in Cuba and
- 1:09:16maybe then you can roll up the communist regime in Nicaragua.
- 1:09:19What happened to Trump being the president of no new wars Like it
- 1:09:23it that shit went out the window immediately.
- 1:09:26Immediately it went out the war. He's like more money to Israel,
- 1:09:28more money to Ukraine, regime change, Venezuela.
- 1:09:31It's like, what the fuck is going on here?
- 1:09:34And this would be a victory for him as a Cuban, as an anti
- 1:09:38communist, but also it'd be a big victory for him going into
- 1:09:402028. He could take credit and say,
- 1:09:43I'm a Reaganesque figure. I'm a Reaganesque diplomat.
- 1:09:46I defeated communism in the Western Hemisphere, in the
- 1:09:48Caribbean. And to tell you the truth, if
- 1:09:51that was achievable, that would be impressive.
- 1:09:53That would be notable. But that's a big if.
- 1:09:56And the reason he is driven to do this is because he is an anti
- 1:09:59communist Cuban. Just like how Ben Shapiro wants
- 1:10:02us to die for Israel against Iran, Rubio wants us to die for
- 1:10:06Cuba, apparently against Venezuela.
- 1:10:08This is part of his like, Cuban thing.
- 1:10:11And I would add, this is Contra other people in the
- 1:10:14administration. Rick Grinnell, who is one of
- 1:10:16Trump's envoys, has been negotiating with the government
- 1:10:20in Venezuela and at one point during the year had actually
- 1:10:22reached a deal with Maduro. And the deal would look
- 1:10:24something like this over a period of time.
- 1:10:27Maduro would eventually step down and transition to a new
- 1:10:29government. In the meantime, the United
- 1:10:32States would get a piece of all new oil, all new gold.
- 1:10:35We would get control over their current oil and gold and other
- 1:10:38critical minerals, and Venezuela would realign themselves away
- 1:10:41from Beijing and towards Washington.
- 1:10:43That sounds like a perfect deal. That's a great deal.
- 1:10:47And by the way, I think that would only make common sense
- 1:10:50because the rest of South America is doing the same thing.
- 1:10:54Lula in Brazil has had a rapprochement with Trump.
- 1:10:56Argentina canceled their accession to bricks and is close
- 1:10:59with Trump. Bolivia just elected a non left
- 1:11:02president that wants to realign with the United States in
- 1:11:05Ecuador and Peru. They're doing the same thing in
- 1:11:07El Salvador. And in those other regimes where
- 1:11:10they're resistant to Trump, Trump is putting the screws in
- 1:11:12them, like in Colombia, in Panama.
- 1:11:15So for Maduro to say that, I mean, it's kind of a good deal.
- 1:11:18It means that if he's true to his word, we get Venezuela and
- 1:11:21we get a managed transition. We don't get a tumultuous regime
- 1:11:25change where the government collapses and it's guerrilla
- 1:11:28warfare and there's another exodus of 8 million Venezuelans.
- 1:11:32We get some kind of control and it's managed and it's overtime.
- 1:11:35I mean, that sounds like a good deal, but there's intense
- 1:11:37disagreement inside the administration over the approach
- 1:11:40here. Rick Grinnell wants the deal so
- 1:11:42that we can focus on China. We don't have to invade and do
- 1:11:44regime change. And then we.
- 1:11:46This is just me speculating. It just popped in my head.
- 1:11:48But I've been seeing a lot of reports recently of people
- 1:11:52saying, like, Trump's unhappy with certain people in his
- 1:11:54cabinet, He's looking to replace them.
- 1:11:56And that's got to be kind of obvious because it's been an
- 1:11:59abysmal failure in his cabinet, his approval ratings in the
- 1:12:02ship. But I'm curious if some of it
- 1:12:04has to do with some of the pushback he's getting, because
- 1:12:07it does seem like Trump is the one pushing this regime change
- 1:12:11towards Venezuela. And I'm curious if people
- 1:12:13resisting within the cabinet or people he's looking at
- 1:12:16replacing. It's just speculation.
- 1:12:19I just thought of that in my head right now.
- 1:12:21Break it, we buy it. We're in there forever.
- 1:12:23Rick Grinnell says let's make a deal that's a model for other
- 1:12:26countries and then let's go somewhere else.
- 1:12:28Rubio says no, we're we're hanging out in the Caribbean.
- 1:12:31We're going to knock down Maduro hard, then we're going to knock
- 1:12:34down Cuba, then we're going to knock down Nicaragua.
- 1:12:37So if you thought we're biting off more than we could chew for
- 1:12:40Venezuela, you don't even know the half of it.
- 1:12:42It's about so much more. They don't.
- 1:12:44They don't even want to just stop at Venezuela.
- 1:12:46They want to go further. And if this sounds familiar,
- 1:12:50it's because it is. This is the same kind of
- 1:12:51thinking behind the war in Iraq, which is that if we go and
- 1:12:55invade Iraq and topple that government, well then there
- 1:12:58would be a domino effect. That was the idea.
- 1:13:01We didn't go into Iraq simply to destroy the WMD that allegedly
- 1:13:05was there. It wasn't simply because Saddam
- 1:13:07was a pariah. There was an idea that if we
- 1:13:11toppled Saddam, we could plant the seed of democratic
- 1:13:14liberalism, liberal, you know, whatever you want to call it,
- 1:13:17liberal capitalism. We were going to plant the flag
- 1:13:19of freedom in Iraq, and then Syria and Iran and the other
- 1:13:23countries would follow and the Middle East would become a
- 1:13:26liberal place and pursuant to democratic peace theory, would
- 1:13:29no longer be a problem for Europe or the United States.
- 1:13:32That was the idea. And look at how that turned out.
- 1:13:36We went into Iraq. Did that work?
- 1:13:38It didn't even work there. We didn't even get a democracy
- 1:13:40there. We went there and then it
- 1:13:43started a religious civil war. And then we're getting blown to
- 1:13:46smithereens in irregular guerrilla warfare for 10 years.
- 1:13:50And then we get ISIS and then it blows up.
- 1:13:51And then the same thing happens. And the only thing that spread
- 1:13:54was misery. And now al Qaeda run Syria and
- 1:13:56Hezbollah runs Iraq. So you're worse off actually.
- 1:14:00What are? The that's what I talk about all
- 1:14:02the time. I mean, literally everything we
- 1:14:04did in the Middle East has backfired and people are like,
- 1:14:06Nope, but supporting Israel is a good thing.
- 1:14:08It's like you're a fucking idiot.
- 1:14:12Supporting Israel and every other fucking thing we've done
- 1:14:15in the Middle East has been a bad idea there.
- 1:14:17There has not been a good thing we've done in the Middle East.
- 1:14:20It's just it's we need to stay the fuck away from there.
- 1:14:23Nothing good comes out of the Middle East.
- 1:14:25The odds that in Venezuela it's going to be any different, and
- 1:14:27it's not apples to apples. Venezuela is very different than
- 1:14:29Iraq. It's closer to home, militarily
- 1:14:32weaker, no WMDS. They're not Muslim.
- 1:14:37On some level, it's more justifiable because it's within
- 1:14:40our legitimate sphere of influence.
- 1:14:41And therefore, you could argue it's about national security.
- 1:14:44But but still, all of those concerns are still valid here.
- 1:14:47Which is to say, you go to war in Venezuela and topple the
- 1:14:50government, OK, What comes on the next day?
- 1:14:53You're going to get Machado, and is she going to be able to take
- 1:14:56control of the apparatus? Are all of Maduro's officers
- 1:14:59going to go away? Are they going to support her?
- 1:15:01There's no evidence that that's the case.
- 1:15:02There's no evidence that this new regime they want to build
- 1:15:05has any legitimacy. And forget about legitimacy with
- 1:15:08the people. What about with the security
- 1:15:09state? There's no evidence that that
- 1:15:11has happened. And what's more, the strategy
- 1:15:13for Cuba and Venezuela is that they know they can't control
- 1:15:16their airspace. They know they can't control the
- 1:15:18coast. Their strategy in the event of
- 1:15:21war is to then blend into the population and launch guerrilla
- 1:15:24warfare. And this isn't like Panama in
- 1:15:261989. This is a big country with a lot
- 1:15:28of cities, a lot of densely populated cities, a dispersed
- 1:15:31population with a difficult terrain.
- 1:15:33It's a lot of jungle, 29 million people, 30 million people.
- 1:15:38So the idea you're going to go in there with 10,020 thousand
- 1:15:41troops, knock over the government and then it's going
- 1:15:44to be smooth sailing. There's no evidence that it's
- 1:15:46going to be that way. I don't feel good about that.
- 1:15:48And then they want to go further.
- 1:15:49They want to go and attack other countries.
- 1:15:52Now, these are the new developments.
- 1:15:54The new developments in the story are that Trump is now
- 1:15:56talking about striking targets on the ground.
- 1:15:59He had a phone call with Maduro and allegedly there was a
- 1:16:01proffer there. So Trump said that if Maduro
- 1:16:04steps down immediately, then he can escape.
- 1:16:08But then that's it. Like he can't get immunity.
- 1:16:11He can't get, you know, there's there's no clemency involved in
- 1:16:13that. Trump is saying you can flee and
- 1:16:15like, we won't kill you. He says, but otherwise we're
- 1:16:17going to kill you. And Maduro says, no, I, I want
- 1:16:20to stick around for a couple of years or I want immunity or I, I
- 1:16:22want, I want to be able to get safe passage.
- 1:16:26Those are the results of the phone call.
- 1:16:27And this is a story from The New York Times that says, quote,
- 1:16:30President Trump warned airlines and pilots on Saturday that the
- 1:16:33airspace near Venezuela was closed.
- 1:16:35In a post on social media, he wrote all airlines, pilots, drug
- 1:16:39dealers and human traffickers. He said this is addressed to
- 1:16:44them. The airspace is closed in its
- 1:16:46entirety. He did not go into further
- 1:16:48detail in his post, but it came after he warned on Thursday
- 1:16:50night that the United States could very soon expand its
- 1:16:52attacks on boats thought to be carrying drugs in the waters off
- 1:16:55Venezuela to targets inside the country itself. the US boat
- 1:16:58strikes have killed more than 80 people since early September.
- 1:17:01Earlier this year, a handful of foreign carriers had canceled
- 1:17:03flights to Venezuela after the Federal Aviation Administration
- 1:17:06issued a safety warning about the country. the United States
- 1:17:09has built up a substantial military presence in the
- 1:17:11Caribbean to put pressure on Venezuela.
- 1:17:14On Friday, the New York Times reported Mr. Trump had spoken by
- 1:17:16phone with Nicolas Maduro. The conversation took place late
- 1:17:20in the week and included a discussion about a possible
- 1:17:22meeting in the United States between the two leaders,
- 1:17:24although there are no plans at the moment for such a meeting.
- 1:17:27The phone call between Mr. Trump and Maduro, which included
- 1:17:29Secretary of State Marco Rubio, came days before the State
- 1:17:32Department officially designated Maduro as the leader of what the
- 1:17:35administration considers a drug cartel that is also a foreign
- 1:17:38terrorist organization, Cartel de Los Solace, the Cartel of the
- 1:17:41Suns. And so this is where I think we
- 1:17:46are in the war to sort of bring it up to speed to today.
- 1:17:50So you have this deployment off the coast, and let's talk about
- 1:17:54what's actually there. You got a carrier, you've got
- 1:17:57about a dozen naval vessels, 10,000 troops, F30 fives.
- 1:18:01This is not an invasion force. Venezuela's got 30 million
- 1:18:05people. Like I said, it's a big country,
- 1:18:07lots of cities. A comparable example might be
- 1:18:11Panama. The United States invaded Panama
- 1:18:13in December 1989 with about 20,000 soldiers.
- 1:18:17Population fraction of the size, the amount of territory,
- 1:18:20fraction of the size. They have like 1 city, all the
- 1:18:22people are there. This is a totally different ball
- 1:18:25game and you always have to compare the specification size
- 1:18:28of the population, the amount of major cities and where there
- 1:18:30might be strategic targets, the type of terrain.
- 1:18:34And so if you had 20,000 soldiers to liberate Panama and
- 1:18:37the fighting lasted about a week, I don't think 10,000 can
- 1:18:40liberate Venezuela. That doesn't look to me like an
- 1:18:42invasion force. So what is what is this force
- 1:18:46posture for? It is to control the air.
- 1:18:49It is to do these effects based warfare tactics, which is to say
- 1:18:53they're bringing in sea power and air power, huge guns and
- 1:18:56missiles, sea to ground missiles as well as guns and the
- 1:19:01aircraft. Because what they intend on
- 1:19:03doing probably is taking control the airports, taking control the
- 1:19:06runways, the airstrips, military, commercial airports,
- 1:19:09and then they control the airspace, probably bombing
- 1:19:11strategic targets, bombing military bases, other strategic
- 1:19:15targets, whether that's resources or ports or whatever.
- 1:19:18They're going to drop payload, maybe decapitation strike.
- 1:19:21They're going to kill the leadership, top brass in the
- 1:19:23military. And then with their small force,
- 1:19:25they're going to come in to establish law and order.
- 1:19:28Maybe special forces or the 10,000 troops, maybe more than
- 1:19:31that will deploy to go and find Maduro, find the other top
- 1:19:35lieutenants, make sure they're accounted for and either killed
- 1:19:37or captured. And then they're going to
- 1:19:38maintain law and order in the anarchy and oversee the
- 1:19:40transition. That's probably what that forces
- 1:19:42there to do. And if you've been paying
- 1:19:45attention over. The Nick is so much better at
- 1:19:47breaking this down than literally anybody else.
- 1:19:50I mean, I challenge anybody to find anyone else in the media
- 1:19:53right now who is able to break down any situation as well as
- 1:19:57Nick Ken. I mean, Nick, especially
- 1:20:00geopolitical situations give such a great analysis and he's
- 1:20:04so good at speaking. It's so impressive.
- 1:20:08The past 10 years, Trump's strategy, it's brinksmanship.
- 1:20:13It's brinksmanship and it's maximum pressure.
- 1:20:15And this is what we've seen in North Korea and Syria and Iran
- 1:20:17and Russia. And this is what we've seen in
- 1:20:18Venezuela also, which is you use a combination of soft power and
- 1:20:22gunboat diplomacy to increase pressure to the maximum level.
- 1:20:26And So what does that mean? For example, with North Korea,
- 1:20:30we already had more sanctions than then.
- 1:20:33Then we could even levy on North Korea.
- 1:20:35There weren't any more sanctions we could apply.
- 1:20:37How do we hurt them economically?
- 1:20:38We went to Beijing, their only trading partner, their biggest
- 1:20:40trading partner, and we said, China, if you want to work with
- 1:20:43us, you need to help us denuclearize the Korean
- 1:20:45Peninsula. You need to put the screws in
- 1:20:46North Korea. And so China brought economic
- 1:20:49pain to bear on North Korea in a way that we couldn't do it
- 1:20:51unilaterally. So there's an economic pressure.
- 1:20:54Then Trump put 2 carrier strike groups off the coast of Korea
- 1:20:58and said my button is bigger and mine works and you're going to
- 1:21:01see fire and fury and the storm is coming.
- 1:21:04And the idea was to create. This is called brinksmanship.
- 1:21:06It's bringing them to the brink of war using maximum pressure,
- 1:21:10using that soft power, economic, diplomatic, psychological
- 1:21:14tactics as well as gunboat diplomacy.
- 1:21:16Bringing the visible presence of US force to bear on these
- 1:21:20countries, demonstrating it to them, and then offering them a
- 1:21:23choice. We can meet and have a detente.
- 1:21:26We can normalize relations, which they did with North Korea
- 1:21:28and discuss, or we can go to war.
- 1:21:30But I don't think that Trump actually wants all of these
- 1:21:32regime change wars. I don't think he actually wants
- 1:21:34invasions. This is the tactic.
- 1:21:37You see it in Iran, also you see it in Russia.
- 1:21:39It's these levers. It's calibrating your approach,
- 1:21:42calibrating your openness to diplomacy, signaling at various
- 1:21:46times, and openness to negotiate and openness to meet and
- 1:21:48openness to talk or normalize. But also calibrating so that
- 1:21:51they have a a fear that you might credibly destroy them.
- 1:21:54Using the economic tools at your disposal to create
- 1:21:57destabilization, to create pain, stress on the regime, but also
- 1:22:02then to incite fear by again bringing down the force,
- 1:22:05demonstrating the force capability of the United States.
- 1:22:07And I think that's what he's doing in Venezuela.
- 1:22:09Very obvious because if you break it down over the course of
- 1:22:11the year, first he puts a $50 million bounty on Maduro's head
- 1:22:16to incentivize those top lieutenants to betray him and
- 1:22:19give him up to the United States.
- 1:22:21Increases the sanctions on Venezuela brands.
- 1:22:24I'm a terrorist organization, giving them a legal
- 1:22:26justification. Starts deploying naval assets,
- 1:22:29first to Puerto Rico, then to the Virgin Islands, Trinidad and
- 1:22:32Tobago. Now they're off the coast of
- 1:22:33Venezuela. Then he starts dropping bombs on
- 1:22:36the boats. Then he starts flying the
- 1:22:37bombers ever closer to Venezuela's coastline.
- 1:22:39Then he says, we're going to close your airspace.
- 1:22:41We could strike on the ground at any minute.
- 1:22:43As an economic as well as a psychological effect.
- 1:22:47One, it's going to grind a lot of trade to a halt, but also
- 1:22:50it's going to make them fear that action is imminent and fear
- 1:22:53makes people collapse. The regime is going to collapse
- 1:22:55under the weight of that pressure.
- 1:22:56That's the idea. And what I think is happening
- 1:22:59right now is that, like I said earlier, you've got this intense
- 1:23:01disagreement inside the administration where Rubio is
- 1:23:04certainly pushing for the regime change.
- 1:23:07He wants to go in and bomb Venezuela, topo Maduro.
- 1:23:10That will send a message to Iran.
- 1:23:12That will send a message to Russia.
- 1:23:14It might have ramifications for Cuba, for Nicaragua, for Panama,
- 1:23:17for Colombia for that matter. Because diplomacy is with the
- 1:23:21United States, is global. It's a global chess board.
- 1:23:23I think Rubio wants to topple the regime.
- 1:23:25I think Rick Grinnell wants a deal.
- 1:23:27And maybe Trump is using them to play off of each other as a good
- 1:23:30cop, bad cop. Maduro knows this, Maduro knows
- 1:23:33Rubio, Maduro knows Grinnell. Maduro's regime is negotiating
- 1:23:36with Grinnell and talking with Trump, but they also know that
- 1:23:38they could get Rubio. And what is going to come with
- 1:23:40Rubio is probably Maduro's head on a stick.
- 1:23:43So I think that's part of it, too.
- 1:23:45Now, it could be the case that military action is imminent.
- 1:23:47It also could be the case that a deal is imminent and they might
- 1:23:49be working out the details of the safe passage of Maduro to
- 1:23:52Qatar or some other third country while this is going on.
- 1:23:57At the same time, you have the Democrats in the media and
- 1:23:59Congress, and they're raising all sorts of concerns about the
- 1:24:03alleged second strike on one of these drug trafficking vessels
- 1:24:06in September. They say that.
- 1:24:09Right, it just freeze. What the fuck just happened?
- 1:24:14What the fuck? All right, give me one moment.
- 1:24:16I'm going to fix this. We're so close to the end of it
- 1:24:19too and it it decided to fuck up 1 moment.
- 1:24:30When Trump. Here we go.
- 1:24:34Sorry about that. Authorized Pete Hegseth to
- 1:24:38authorize a general to take out one of these drug smuggling
- 1:24:42boats that they dropped the bomb on the boat.
- 1:24:44They saw that the boat capsized and there were survivors and
- 1:24:47they finished off the survivors. They basically executed them
- 1:24:51even though their vessel wasn't seaworthy.
- 1:24:53They dropped another bomb and they killed these people
- 1:24:55slipping into the into the ocean.
- 1:24:57And the Democrats are saying that's a war crime because
- 1:25:01you're attacking people that are vulnerable.
- 1:25:02They're they're not seaworthy and so they don't actually pose
- 1:25:05a threat. You've just executed people that
- 1:25:07are ostensibly unarmed and defenseless.
- 1:25:10And so now the media, and this has been all over the New York
- 1:25:12Times, The Washington Post all week, and the Democrats in
- 1:25:14Congress have raised articles of impeachment.
- 1:25:17They're saying this is a war crime and an impeachable
- 1:25:19offense, that whoever authorized this, they broke the law,
- 1:25:22whether it's the Defense Secretary, the general, the
- 1:25:24officer or President Trump. And I, I at first glance, I
- 1:25:27think it's ridiculous. But then I think the reason
- 1:25:29they're doing it is to slow down the tempo of the Trump
- 1:25:32administration on the war. They're trying to pump the
- 1:25:36brakes. Why would they be into this four
- 1:25:39months, three months after the fact?
- 1:25:40That strike happened on September 2nd, September 3rd,
- 1:25:43it's December 4th, December 5th. This is December 4th show, but
- 1:25:47it's 2:00 AM, so it's December 5th.
- 1:25:49Why would they wait until this week to raise that?
- 1:25:52And why raise it at all? I think they're trying to slow
- 1:25:54down the tempo of the administration so that we don't
- 1:25:56rush into a war without congressional authorization,
- 1:25:58without oversight. And it's maybe a warning flare.
- 1:26:01You can't take out a drug vessel that way.
- 1:26:03You can't take out a whole country without approval from
- 1:26:06Congress. This might be Congress flexing
- 1:26:07its muscle. So I think that complicates
- 1:26:10things also in Trump's playbook here, because Trump likes to act
- 1:26:13quickly and decisively, which I like.
- 1:26:15And he's able to do that for a period of time.
- 1:26:17And then what always happens is the bureaucratic, the Democratic
- 1:26:21state catches up to him with all their rules and all their
- 1:26:23oversight and everything. And that's what it looks like is
- 1:26:25happening here. So that's a situation as it
- 1:26:28stands in Venezuela. I've been very clear about this
- 1:26:30from the beginning. We can maintain at once that
- 1:26:33Venezuela is part of our legitimate sphere of influence.
- 1:26:36People are always saying, why don't we focus on the national
- 1:26:39security threats at home? What does Iran have to do with
- 1:26:41us? And I totally agree with that.
- 1:26:43And that's a salient argument to make when people are talking
- 1:26:46about war in Yemen, in Iran, in in, in these types of countries,
- 1:26:50in Ukraine even. But Venezuela is in the Western
- 1:26:53Hemisphere. It's right across the Gulf of
- 1:26:55Mexico. It's not far, and I would
- 1:26:58consider both North and South America our legitimate sphere of
- 1:27:01influence. Anything that happens there
- 1:27:03could be threatening to the United States.
- 1:27:05What protects us and insulates us from other countries is the
- 1:27:08oceans. We are protected from invasion.
- 1:27:10We are protected from non nuclear powers that don't have a
- 1:27:13strategic Air Force or strategic nuclear capability.
- 1:27:15We're protected from them by distance because of the oceans.
- 1:27:20Iran can't hurt us because we're separated by an ocean.
- 1:27:22They don't have missiles that can hit us.
- 1:27:23They don't have an Air Force that can hit us.
- 1:27:25They can't threaten us. They can't invade us.
- 1:27:27It'd be tricky for China to invade us, for Japan to invade
- 1:27:30us. But that is not the case with
- 1:27:33Central and South America. Those countries, they could
- 1:27:36theoretically pose a threat to the United States because
- 1:27:38they're not separated from us by an ocean.
- 1:27:41They're connected to our country by land and by a not
- 1:27:44insignificant or rather or what is the right wording for that?
- 1:27:48By a pretty insignificant distance over water too, The
- 1:27:52Gulf of Mexico. So people like to say, well, we
- 1:27:56should stay out of it. I disagree.
- 1:27:57I think this is our business. And when you look at what the
- 1:27:59Maduro regime has done, forget about the fact that he's
- 1:28:01socialist. I don't really care about that.
- 1:28:03Who really cares? It's his country, they have
- 1:28:05national sovereignty. What I care about is the fact
- 1:28:07that he is aligned with US adversaries.
- 1:28:10And maybe if it was 1 country, it wouldn't be a threat.
- 1:28:13But he's allied with Cuba, Nicaragua, China, Russia, Iran.
- 1:28:17And to the extent that they are working with Iran's military, to
- 1:28:20the extent that they are working with China and Russia, and they
- 1:28:23get Russian weapons and they get Chinese investment, we are
- 1:28:26fighting a new Cold War, a new Monroe Doctrine in South
- 1:28:30America. We're trying to expel China from
- 1:28:32these Latin American countries. So why are we going to kick out
- 1:28:36the Chinese in Argentina and try to kick them out in Brazil and
- 1:28:38then all these other places? But we're going to let them have
- 1:28:40a foothold in Venezuela, dual use infrastructure.
- 1:28:43They're going to have the oil there.
- 1:28:44They're going to control the gold there.
- 1:28:46They might build drones there. Why would we let them do this?
- 1:28:48We're going to be at war with them.
- 1:28:49We're going to let them exist across the pond like that.
- 1:28:51I don't think so. So at the minimum, it is in our
- 1:28:54national security interest that we should not allow Venezuela to
- 1:28:57take the side of US strategic rivals, which is what China and
- 1:29:01Russia are. And they're and Maduro has very
- 1:29:03conscientiously created an access with them.
- 1:29:05He's in league with them. And that's not to say that he's
- 1:29:07going to invade America or attack America, but
- 1:29:10theoretically, in a war with China and Russia, he might be
- 1:29:13used to attack the United States or be used against the United
- 1:29:16States in some way. And I don't know why we would
- 1:29:18tolerate that. So I am in favor of US
- 1:29:21intervention in Venezuela, although not necessarily regime
- 1:29:24change. I'm, I believe that America has
- 1:29:27strategic interests. That doesn't mean that it
- 1:29:29doesn't matter how we pursue them.
- 1:29:30I still think that we should pursue a reasonable and
- 1:29:33restrained foreign policy, the policy of restraint.
- 1:29:37I'm in favor of that. So I don't think we should go in
- 1:29:39guns blazing and take out Maduro and then all these other
- 1:29:41countries. But I do think that this is the
- 1:29:43right strategy, maximum pressure, a negotiated
- 1:29:47settlement. All we want is the oil, the
- 1:29:49gold. We want your allegiance and we
- 1:29:50want Maduro out and and that's it.
- 1:29:52And you could be a Bolivarian Socialist Republic.
- 1:29:54I really don't care. And I don't even think we need
- 1:29:56to kill the guy. I don't think we need a war.
- 1:29:58I don't think that would be good for the United States to
- 1:30:00destabilize this country. You're going to get another
- 1:30:02exodus. You might get guerrilla warfare.
- 1:30:04It might bleed over into these other States and create a
- 1:30:06security challenge for Brazil, for Colombia, for Guyana.
- 1:30:09Certainly. And by the way, there's a lot of
- 1:30:11unexploited resources right there in Guyana, in the Esquibo.
- 1:30:13So, you know, we want that too, and we want that too.
- 1:30:16And that's perfectly reasonable. So I definitely fall on the side
- 1:30:19of Rick Grinnell on this one. We should have a negotiated
- 1:30:22settlement. Let's get the allegiance of the
- 1:30:24government there. Let's get access to their raw
- 1:30:26materials. If we can go and think about it
- 1:30:29this way, people say, how does that benefit us?
- 1:30:31If we could go into Venezuela, we can make their oil production
- 1:30:34efficient. Their oil production is less
- 1:30:36than half of what it should be because of sanctions, because of
- 1:30:39corruption, because of inefficiency.
- 1:30:41If we got down to Venezuela and we started pumping their oil,
- 1:30:43that would be a huge energy boon to the United States and we
- 1:30:46would get all of it. Global oil prices would fall.
- 1:30:48That would hurt Russia. It would be beneficial for
- 1:30:50American consumers. We would secure the energy for
- 1:30:52our increasing electricity needs.
- 1:30:54And not only that, if we have a stable government in Venezuela
- 1:30:57that we're allied with, we can then extract all the energy
- 1:31:00that's in Guyana also because they've just discovered a ton of
- 1:31:02resources there too. It's a win win.
- 1:31:05So you do it smartly. You do it in a restrained way,
- 1:31:08You do it with regime change as the last resort, only necessary
- 1:31:12and extraordinary circumstances. And, and I think that's the
- 1:31:15America First foreign policy. But I'll tell you what I
- 1:31:17disagree with all these libertarians and leftists that
- 1:31:19want to bitch about, you know, leave everybody alone and they
- 1:31:22say that we should keep our nose out of there.
- 1:31:24That's their stuff. Fuck it, it's not their stuff.
- 1:31:27This hemisphere belongs to us. That's what it is to be America
- 1:31:31first. America first means we're in
- 1:31:33charge. America First does not mean
- 1:31:35we're going to sit with our hands in our lap at the United
- 1:31:36Nations and listen to fucking third world people bitch and
- 1:31:39moan and take all their own shit.
- 1:31:41That's not America First. When did multilateralism and
- 1:31:44internationalism become? It's totally the opposite.
- 1:31:47America First is we are going to March around this entire fucking
- 1:31:50half of the globe and we're going to tell everybody how it's
- 1:31:52going to be. That's America First.
- 1:31:53We're in charge. It is good to be in charge and
- 1:31:57people don't realize that we get to be a prosperous nation.
- 1:32:01We get to have a relative degree of autonomy and independence
- 1:32:04because we are powerful. Other countries get bossed
- 1:32:07around because they're not powerful.
- 1:32:09Look at like Germany, France, Italy.
- 1:32:10They get bossed around by the United States because we're
- 1:32:13bigger than them. They're dependent on US
- 1:32:15militarily, economically, so they have less freedom, they
- 1:32:19have less prosperity. They're getting killed by this
- 1:32:21war in Ukraine. Germany, like they will not
- 1:32:23survive this. And their leaders have no choice
- 1:32:26because they are a Sozaran of Washington.
- 1:32:27And people need to understand that, that it sounds great when
- 1:32:31you say we're a Republic, not an empire, but it's like an empire
- 1:32:34is what procures for us all these resources that make us
- 1:32:38rich. And what makes us rich is what
- 1:32:40makes us powerful. And what makes us powerful is
- 1:32:42what allows us to secure these resources.
- 1:32:45And unless you're ready to give up your autonomy or sovereignty,
- 1:32:48our way of life, you might say that's happening regardless.
- 1:32:50I'd agree with you. But if we want to have in any
- 1:32:54scenario, sovereignty and prosperity, we're going to need
- 1:32:56to have the empire. I don't want to give that up.
- 1:32:58I think it's ridiculous and and it's just ideologically not even
- 1:33:03right wing people go and say, yeah, so Venezuela is going to
- 1:33:07take their oil. Good for them.
- 1:33:08And it's like, don't get me wrong, yeah, they should profit
- 1:33:10from their oil too. But we if they should sell it to
- 1:33:12us, they can't be fucking around buying weapons from our enemies.
- 1:33:15Like it doesn't even make any sense.
- 1:33:16You can make your own oil and you can you can use it for your
- 1:33:19own social programs, but you're going to sell it to us and we're
- 1:33:21going to tell you how much you're going to make of it
- 1:33:22because we're bigger than you. And that's the way it's going to
- 1:33:25go. We're not going to sit with our
- 1:33:25hands in our laps. These people are criminals.
- 1:33:27Nicolas Maduro, that whole regime, they're criminals.
- 1:33:29They're crooks and we're going to go and sit in the United
- 1:33:32Nations and have them lecture. The devil spoke here yesterday.
- 1:33:34Fuck you. Who are you and what army, pal?
- 1:33:37So I I'm America first, but I just think we need to be a
- 1:33:40smarter, more restrained empire that works for our own
- 1:33:43interests. And that's why I feel this way
- 1:33:45about Venezuela. I know a lot of people disagree.
- 1:33:47They've been huffing the Ron Paul stuff.
- 1:33:50I know Dave Smith is one of them.
- 1:33:51You know, Ryan Grim talking about colonialism in Haiti.
- 1:33:54It's like, give me a break dude. They have 65 IQ.
- 1:33:56You think it's because of neo colonialism that they eat dirt?
- 1:33:59Give me a break. That's just not right wing
- 1:34:02anyway. But.
- 1:34:02That's we're going. To move on, we're going to take
- 1:34:03a look at our super chats. We'll see what you guys have to
- 1:34:05say about all this. There we go.
- 1:34:08That was the reaction to Nick Stream.
- 1:34:11Like I said, I I tried not to talk a lot or pause it a ton.
- 1:34:14I did very briefly here and there, but he gives a better
- 1:34:19take than literally anybody about this, so it's always good
- 1:34:21to listen to what he has to say. I'm going to get our comments
- 1:34:24pulled up. We're still going to read the
- 1:34:25comments. I'm doing this show a little
- 1:34:27earlier in the day than I usually do, so we don't have as
- 1:34:30many as usual, but we do have some comments to read.
- 1:34:32We're going to go through them and then the rest of the
- 1:34:35comments we will get to on Monday's show.
- 1:34:37But hope you guys are having a great Friday Today Casual Friday
- 1:34:40stream. Please remember to like smash
- 1:34:42the follow button, leave a comment.
- 1:34:43Let me know what you think about the show.
- 1:34:44All the comments are read at the end of each show and remember to
- 1:34:48join our Telegram channel, stay updated on all things America
- 1:34:51Unfiltered and rate the show 5 stars on Spotify.
- 1:34:55With that, let's get to our comments.
- 1:35:01Let's see, we'll do YouTube first.
- 1:35:02I think we just had like one on YouTube, and then we'll do all
- 1:35:05our Spotify comments. That's where we really get the
- 1:35:07comments. #15 got the grippy. Got the grip.
- 1:35:18Whoa. Who is number 15?
- 1:35:20Rosa Deloro. I think that's great.
- 1:35:23That's great. That's that's crazy.
- 1:35:27That's crazy. Rosa Dolora is crazy looking.
- 1:35:32The omission of Douglas Murray from the Retard Awards
- 1:35:35represents the travesty of our time.
- 1:35:37I would posit that the said individual should be among the
- 1:35:39higher echelon at the very least, but the fact that this
- 1:35:42said individual has been entirely discluded leaves one
- 1:35:45reeling with an unaccustomed level of exasperation.
- 1:35:49Yeah, that would have been a good, good addition of the list.
- 1:35:55There's a couple people I definitely forgot, but I put the
- 1:35:58thing together in one day. I got most of it.
- 1:36:03I think I did a decent job. But you're not wrong there.
- 1:36:06You're not wrong. Thank you for your comment.
- 1:36:11Any man who can provide enough dollar sign for his wife to stay
- 1:36:15home knows that's her domain. I might be the highest authority
- 1:36:18in my home under God, but my wife is the one who makes it a
- 1:36:21home and sets the core foundations for our children.
- 1:36:25Yeah, I don't disagree necessarily.
- 1:36:27I also didn't grow up with a bunch of modern feminist women,
- 1:36:30nor is my wife. She understands our roles as God
- 1:36:33intended. So I'm lucky I come home to a
- 1:36:36clean house, well kept kids and a big dinner ready for me.
- 1:36:40Nice. Yeah, that's that Sounds like a
- 1:36:43good life there. Props to you, buddy.
- 1:36:45I'll pray for you and your family.
- 1:36:47That's awesome. Thanks for your comment.
- 1:36:49Found your page a few weeks ago and have been a daily listener
- 1:36:52since. Love the show and reaction
- 1:36:54episodes. Keep at it and stay safe
- 1:36:56brother. Jesus is King.
- 1:36:58Christ is king. Let's go.
- 1:37:00Christ is king. Thank you.
- 1:37:03Appreciate the kind words. Do you consider yourself normal?
- 1:37:07What a mouth can't listen to to you.
- 1:37:09Cringe man. Al it's an evil world.
- 1:37:12Read God's word, it will never be what you want.
- 1:37:15You care a lot, but it is written until you understand
- 1:37:18stand that you will curse and be part of making the world the way
- 1:37:20it is. You're allowed to curse.
- 1:37:23It's not sinful to curse. It's it's sinful to be hate
- 1:37:27filled and to curse people, but cursing in itself is not
- 1:37:32necessarily sinful. And no, I don't think I'm
- 1:37:34normal. I don't think anybody who does a
- 1:37:37show every day or a live show is normal.
- 1:37:39I don't think any of us consider ourselves normal.
- 1:37:41So thanks for your input. I'm so sad you didn't give me an
- 1:37:47award, you didn't give me an official number and you could
- 1:37:49have just called it the Anti Israel awards.
- 1:37:53The anti is, I think only like 10 of the people out of the 25
- 1:37:56were Jews. I don't think it was all
- 1:38:00Israelis and Jews. I think only like 10 out of 25,
- 1:38:03not even half. And you got an honorable man
- 1:38:06That's Fidel. Fidel, you got an honorable
- 1:38:08mention. You were honorable mention at
- 1:38:09like 15 or 14 or 16, somewhere around that ballpark.
- 1:38:13You want it. You worked hard for it, Fidel.
- 1:38:15I mean, everyday you're doing overtime in the comments.
- 1:38:17So thank you for your comment. Glad you have a sense of humor
- 1:38:23about it at least. Lol nice some of these people on
- 1:38:27the blue side we should keep around for the entertainment.
- 1:38:31Yeah, possibly, but some of them are so fucking crazy they got to
- 1:38:34go. They can't be in politics.
- 1:38:36I mean, some of the people are so fucking insane on the
- 1:38:39Democratic side. The Democrats are.
- 1:38:41They feel irrelevant right now, but there's a good chance they
- 1:38:45win the midterms. But they feel irrelevant right
- 1:38:48now. It's like coming off the Kamala
- 1:38:50loss. Kamala was such a dumb bitch.
- 1:38:52Wine Mom. Like what did the Democrats have
- 1:38:56right now? Who do they have?
- 1:38:57Gavin Newsom. What was he 24th biggest retard
- 1:39:01of the year? Would you be willing to call for
- 1:39:05unity on the right if we stop funding Israel?
- 1:39:08Yeah, possibly, but it would be more than just that.
- 1:39:11Like it's not just the funding of Israel, it's the weapons.
- 1:39:14It's not just the money, the military support, the lobbying,
- 1:39:20the control of our media, equal access for people in America.
- 1:39:25First, APEC not registering under FARA.
- 1:39:29And honestly, like, you'd have to deport Miriam and Mira
- 1:39:32Medelson and get rid of the neocons.
- 1:39:35And I kind of wrote that out. And here's what he wrote back.
- 1:39:39But here is the thing, removing all neocons is nearly
- 1:39:41impossible. Not necessarily.
- 1:39:44I mean, no, not really. It's not.
- 1:39:47You just have to look at who's taking money from where.
- 1:39:49I mean, these people don't wake up and they're like, I want war.
- 1:39:52They're paid to want war. Also, even though I'm not anti
- 1:39:55Israel, I despise BB's government and all the war
- 1:39:58crimes that have been committed under it.
- 1:40:00Good based. We should ACC stop funding all
- 1:40:04foreign wars. Like who gives a crap?
- 1:40:07They started the war, let them finish it.
- 1:40:11Yeah, we, but we should also be holding people accountable for
- 1:40:14war crimes, not supporting them. It's OK to be a straight white
- 1:40:19Christian male. It's OK to be a straight brown
- 1:40:22Hindu male. It's OK to be anything.
- 1:40:24Just as long as it's not insane lol.
- 1:40:28Yeah, but also we shouldn't forget who built this nation.
- 1:40:33Just straight white Christian men.
- 1:40:36JD Vance might be better for USA than Trump honestly BC Trump ACC
- 1:40:40makes us look like a joke when we are literally the greatest
- 1:40:44nation to ever exist. JD Vance is a Silicon Valley
- 1:40:53prop. His name's not even JD Vance.
- 1:40:54It's James Donald Bowman. JD Vance has so many fucking
- 1:41:01problems. I don't think he would be
- 1:41:02better. I mean, he's younger, which I
- 1:41:03like. I like that he's a lot younger,
- 1:41:05but I'm not necessarily sure he would be better.
- 1:41:10Also, who do you think will win the Super Bowl this year?
- 1:41:13Hopefully the Eagles, possibly the Patriots or Bears, and then
- 1:41:18I wrote that and then this is what you said.
- 1:41:21I'm saying the Bears are winning the Super Bowl this year.
- 1:41:28I hope the Eagles do, but if the Eagles don't, I'm fine with the
- 1:41:32bears. I'm fine with that.
- 1:41:36Let's see. I think that might have been all
- 1:41:39the comments. We didn't have a ton of
- 1:41:40comments. I'm filming this earlier in the
- 1:41:42day, way earlier than I usually do.
- 1:41:43Let's refresh, see if anything new came in.
- 1:41:47No, that's all. I'm sure we will get more
- 1:41:50comments, but right now we don't have any.
- 1:41:54Yeah, that seems to be everything.
- 1:41:56All right, I'm going to sign off for the day.
- 1:41:59It's been a great Friday show. Hope you guys have had a great
- 1:42:02day today. Hope you guys enjoyed the show
- 1:42:04and the reaction stream today. We will be back here on Monday
- 1:42:08with a new show back to hopefully a busier week.
- 1:42:12I mean, it has been painfully fucking slow in the news.
- 1:42:15That's the reason we've been like, we did an award show this
- 1:42:17week. We did a reaction stream today.
- 1:42:19It's like there's not a lot to talk about.
- 1:42:21I could talk about like Elon calling Nick a Fed, absolutely
- 1:42:25fucking ridiculous, not presenting any information but
- 1:42:28saying it and then Candace saying the same thing.
- 1:42:30But it's like Candace is now backing out of the Turning Point
- 1:42:33USA event. A lot of people like Nick talked
- 1:42:36about her talking about the September 2nd Venezuela attack,
- 1:42:40but that's it's months ago and you know, again, we haven't
- 1:42:42really seen the videos. Really not a lot going on in the
- 1:42:46media right now. There's not a ton.
- 1:42:48So hopefully we get a busier weekend, we get a busier
- 1:42:51Newsweek coming up. But until then, I will see you
- 1:42:54guys on Monday. Hope you guys have a blessed
- 1:42:56day. Hope you guys have a blessed
- 1:42:57weekend. Please don't drink and drive.
- 1:42:58But if you do, call your lawyer first.
- 1:43:00I'm signing off today and I will see you guys again on Monday.
- 1:43:04Thank you.
