Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: This is something that needed to be said, and I'm
- 0:06Speaker 1: very happy to see this, and this is a part
- 0:08Speaker 1: of that kind of fork in the road that the
- 0:12Speaker 1: West has been presented with that the Trump administration has
- 0:18Speaker 1: presented to the world. Right, it's a choice. So the
- 0:21Speaker 1: kind of globalist managed decline of Western countries is not
- 0:27Speaker 1: just an inevitability. There is another way to go. You
- 0:30Speaker 1: can choose to fight that, you can choose to reject that.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Which way do you want to go? Do you want
- 0:35Speaker 1: to go down that path of ruin and decay or
- 0:38Speaker 1: do you want to reassert yourself and say no, we
- 0:41Speaker 1: don't hate ourselves. In fact, Western civilization is by far
- 0:44Speaker 1: the pinnacle of human achievement, of human wellbeing, of equality,
- 0:50Speaker 1: of decency, of everything, and it's not even close, right,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and we don't want to give that up. That's a
- 0:58Speaker 1: choice that was presented to the United States. They made
- 1:00Speaker 1: their right choice. The rest of the world is being
- 1:03Speaker 1: presented with that same choice, and that's what this comes
- 1:06Speaker 1: down to. That's what JD. Vans is talking about here.
- 1:10Speaker 1: You're saying Europe is at risk of civilizational suicide. This
- 1:15Speaker 1: needs to be said.
- 1:17Speaker 2: I really believe that we have a great deal in
- 1:19Speaker 2: common with Europe, and I'm not you know, yes, the
- 1:21Speaker 2: Europeans annoy me sometimes, and yes I disagree with them
- 1:24Speaker 2: on certain issues, but we have to remember that is
- 1:26Speaker 2: the cradle of Western civilization. The entire entire idea of
- 1:30Speaker 2: Christian civilization that led to the founding of the United
- 1:33Speaker 2: States of America, that was formed in Europe. The cultural bonds,
- 1:37Speaker 2: the religious bonds, these things are going to last beyond
- 1:40Speaker 2: political disagreements. But I think that Europe, and frankly I
- 1:44Speaker 2: would have said this about America a year ago, but America,
- 1:47Speaker 2: Europe is at risk, I think of creating, of engaging
- 1:51Speaker 2: in civilizational suicide. They are unable to or unwilling too
- 1:55Speaker 2: many countries to control their borders. You see them starting
- 1:58Speaker 2: to push back against that, and good, that's a good thing.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You see them starting to limit the free speech of
- 2:03Speaker 2: their own citizens, even as those citizens are protesting against
- 2:06Speaker 2: things like the border invasion that got Donald Trump and
- 2:11Speaker 2: a number of European leaders elected. So look, I want
- 2:13Speaker 2: Europe to thrive. I want them to be an important ally.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Part of that is going to be Europe respecting its
- 2:20Speaker 2: own people, respecting its own sovereignty. And America can't do
- 2:23Speaker 2: that job for them. If you have a country like
- 2:26Speaker 2: Germany where you have another few million immigrants come in
- 2:29Speaker 2: from countries that are totally culturally incompatible with Germany, then
- 2:33Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what I think about Europe. Germany will
- 2:36Speaker 2: have killed itself. And I hope they don't do that
- 2:39Speaker 2: because I love Germany and I want Germany.
- 2:40Speaker 1: To thrive it. This is the choice that's being presented
- 2:44Speaker 1: to the West. Which way do you want to go? Right?
- 2:47Speaker 1: Do you want to go down the root of civilizational suicide?
- 2:50Speaker 1: Or do you want to reaffirm yourself? Right? Do you
- 2:53Speaker 1: want do to you have confidence in your traditions, in
- 2:57Speaker 1: the values of Western civilization. Right, You don't have to
- 3:01Speaker 1: think that your everything about your culture is awful because
- 3:06Speaker 1: historically illiterate people tell you so. You could just take
- 3:11Speaker 1: a look around the world, read a couple of history books, right,
- 3:13Speaker 1: just take a look around what's happening around the rest
- 3:15Speaker 1: of the world, the kind of freedoms people have or
- 3:17Speaker 1: the kind of freedoms people don't have. You can take
- 3:19Speaker 1: a look at the poverty around the world, right, and
- 3:22Speaker 1: you can say, hey, you know what, we're onto something
- 3:24Speaker 1: good here, We've been onto something good here. You know,
- 3:27Speaker 1: the shoulders of all these people that we're standing on.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Maybe we shouldn't betray them. I'm worried about where things
- 3:33Speaker 1: are going to be. I'm worried about where my kids
- 3:36Speaker 1: are gonna be in forty years, what life's going to
- 3:38Speaker 1: be like for them when I'm dead or close to
- 3:40Speaker 1: dead or something. Although I do plan to have my
- 3:43Speaker 1: brain put into a robot body, a sexy robot body,
- 3:47Speaker 1: so I don't know. Hopefully we'll get there anyway. That's
- 3:50Speaker 1: all I'm going to say about that. Please like, share,
- 3:52Speaker 1: and subscribe. Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you
- 3:56Speaker 1: for that. I will see you next time.
