VIVEK WINS NOMINATION??? Ohio Governors Race INTENSIFIES | America First Ep. 1677

Good evening, everybody. You're watching America First. My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes. We got a great show. Great show for you tonight. Very excited to be back here with you tonight on a Tuesday. We have a lot to talk about tonight. Lots to get into. Big show. Our featured story, we're talking all about Vivek Ramaswamy, who has regrettably become the GOP nominee for the gubernatorial race in Ohio. He utterly and completely destroyed Casey Push. 85% to 15% is what it looks like today. And there were some big primary contests held across the country, but that was probably the most notable one that we were watching. And we're going to talk a little bit about it tonight. We'll talk about Vivek. We'll talk about the race and what is going to happen in Ohio. and I will tell you, not everybody is going to like what I have to say. There is an imperative in this election in 2026. You know, I know, Vivek Ramaswamy under no circumstances can be allowed to become the governor of Ohio. What kind of message would that send? What does that say about us? What does that say about the GOP? What does that say? Not just about the GOP, but the post-Trump GOP if somebody like Vivek Ramaswamy can become a statewide government official. Somebody who is not a Christian, somebody who denigrates white Americans, billionaire, pharmaceutical guy, libertarian. Libertarian? What does that say about the state of the right wing if he is allowed to become one of the top Republicans in the country? Simply cannot be allowed to happen under any circumstances. So what is the alternative? Well, not everybody's going to like this. But in November, there's going to be two candidates that can win on the ballot in Ohio. And it is Acton on the Democrat side and Ramaswamy on the Republican side. if it can't be Ramaswamy I think you know what it has to be and so I'm going to be calling on everybody to be going to Ohio and we're going to give people a choice you have an option stay home but I think if you really want to make a difference and help we're going to have to hold our noses and we're going to have to vote Democrat and I'll tell you a lot of people they say that during the presidential elections, I'm going to hold my nose and vote Republican. They say, I don't care how many times they screwed us over, how many times they betrayed us. I don't care how awful they are. They are the lesser of two evils. And it's a binary choice. There's only two candidates that can win. So people say they're going to hold their nose and vote Republican every single time. Every presidential election year, every off year, midterm year, they say we're going to hold our nose and vote Republican. And nothing ever changes. And the candidates just keep getting worse. It's unacceptable. It's unacceptable in the era of Trump that the Republican Party would even field somebody like Vivek. How insulting. How ridiculous. We want mass deportations. We want nationalism. We want America first. And what we get is techno libertarianism. We get this Asian tiger who wants more H1Bs, more Indians, more Silicon Valley. Yeah, it's the wrong candidate and we're moving in the wrong direction. We're moving backwards. We should be moving forwards. The GOP is pushing us backwards. And so there's a choice in 2026. How much are we going to tolerate? How much are we going to put up with? How much are we going to allow? If people simply stay home or if they vote Republican, you are telling the GOP that we will tolerate literally anything. And if that is the message, if that is the case, there's an element of moral hazard. It teaches the GOP that they can always take us backwards. They can always make it worse. And no matter what, we're always going to vote for it. So my message in 26 is time to hold our nose and play the other side. It's not just for Israel anymore. We can play both sides too. In 2026, it's time for us to hold our nose and vote for Democrats and shut it down. Shut it down. Sabotage it. Blow it up. You want to destroy the Republican Party agenda, which was deportations, no wars, affordability, the rest of it. You want to give us $6 gas, H-1B visas, more foreign aid, then we're going to vote for the other side. We're not going to like it. Nobody likes it. Nobody's happy about that. You think I'm happy about a Jewish female governor who is pro-COVID and the rest of it? I'm not happy about it. I don't like her. I don't like the Democrats and I don't like what they have to offer. But we need to play hardball. These are extraordinary circumstances. This is a question of succession. Who comes after Trump? And therefore, what direction does the GOP and the American right, where does that go? If we let the GOP push it backwards and backslide, then we're going to lose all the momentum. All the sacrifices will have been in vain. And we're hostage to the GOP. So this is an extraordinary situation. This is not normal. This is the most important election of our lifetimes. And it's time for us to put our foot down, play both sides, hold our nose, vote Democrat. Every vote that stays home, every vote for Vivek is against the outcome that we need, which is that we're going to need the Democrat to win, to teach the GOP a lesson. You want to win Ohio and you should be able to give us America first. you want to win Ohio you want to win the House you want to win Texas you want to win Florida give us America first if not forget it forget about it I'll prefer the Democrats over being a hostage to a treacherous Republican Party I know not everybody's on board with that I know not everybody likes that but that is how it has to be that's just the game so we'll talk about it we'll flesh this out a little bit That's going to be our main story. There was an attempt to run a primary challenger in Ohio. The guy's name was Casey Push. What's really sad is that I think he actually could have won. I really believe that. I think he could have won or at least it could have been competitive. But sadly, we just don't have that elite human capital. It just wasn't a good campaign. Raised no money, did no events, did no outreach. It just was a terrible campaign. This was winnable. Vivek was extremely unpopular. I think Casey Bush got 18, 15, 18 percent basically just by being an alternative on the ballot and doing almost nothing else. But it wasn't good and it wasn't pretty. And the opportunity was squandered. And that's disappointing. He let us down. He lost. This is why I never got behind him. I don't want to endorse losers. I think that's a bad look for me. It's a bad look for everybody. And so now what we have to do is we have to be realistic. And now the choice is between a Democrat and Vivek Ramaswamy. For me, I'm never Vivek. I think under no circumstances, I would take an ordinary Democrat over an Indian tech bro, scamming libertarian that hates white Americans. I would take an ordinary Democrat, completely ordinary. We know what it is. We know what we're going to get. We're not going to like it. But an exceedingly ordinary Democrat, and it's the devil we know, versus a Republican who is going to puff his chest out and walk around the governor's mansion like he owns the place and use that as a springboard for a future in national Republican politics. I don't want to deal with this guy for the rest of my life. I don't want to deal with Vivek Ramaswamy and his giant fucking head for the rest of my life. I don't want to deal with that arrogance, smugness, pompousness. He's going to go around wagging his finger telling heritage Americans, white Americans about Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. I think it would be a mistake to say that we would prefer giving him a springboard into a political career at the national level as opposed to settling for an ordinary one-term Democrat that we could always get rid of in four years. Ohio's a red state. Republicans carry Ohio by like 10 points. Democrats haven't held the mansion in 20 years. We can take one L. We can take a one-term ordinary Democrat for four years and then throw her out. Let's just get a re-roll the dice. Hopefully in 2030, Republicans get the message. They give us somebody we can vote for. That's how we have to play. So we'll talk about all that. We're going to get into it. We're also going to talk tonight about the war in Iran, which looks like it may be over. although we also have really no idea. They say the war is over. Today, that was the announcement. Today, President Trump said that officially Operation Epic Fury, which is the war in Iran, it is now over. Formally, it is over. What's more, this other operation, which was declared on Sunday, is also now over. So we were supposed to talk about this last night, didn't have time. Sunday it was announced that the U.S. Navy would be escorting commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, out of the Persian Gulf through the Strait, and that basically never materialized. There were a grand total of three commercial ships that have made it out in the past 48 hours, and as quickly as this came together, it's now over. That operation is also concluded. it. Simultaneously, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by the Navy remains in place. Iran's control of the Strait also remains in place. And Trump says diplomacy is still ongoing. So nobody really has any idea what is going on here. Is the war over? Nobody knows. The Emirates is being attacked allegedly by Iran. They vow to retaliate. We don't know if they will. The strait is still closed on both sides. It's a double lock. Iran is shut it down. The U.S. is shut it down. Although their closure is more effective than ours, they seem more capable of shutting down shipping than we are. Nevertheless, that is the new status quo, apparently. And although there's no negotiations, Trump says that we're working toward a deal. So I'm not really even sure what the status is, but we're going to work through the latest developments and we'll talk about what's happening there too. It looks like we're just out. It looks like we're just done. Three months of war. I guess it's a little bit over two months. Two months of war in Iran and it's ending not with a bang but with a whimper. Not with a huge operation. Not with some decisive victory. Not with a strategic tactical win on the battlefield. We're just walking away. It's just over. And you have to ask what was it really all four. What was even the point of that? Gas prices are hitting $6 in Chicago in some places. This has probably caused an economic correction. It just hasn't arrived yet. They're rationing energy supplies in Europe, in Asia. This is going to totally roil the global economy, U.S. economy. It's cost us probably something like $50 billion when all is said and done. Our bases are destroyed. We have strategically, objectively lost the conflict. And now we're just finished. What was it all for? We'll talk about that, too. So those are going to be the big stories tonight. It's going to be a good show. It's going to be another slow day. It's kind of been a slow couple of weeks. I feel like nothing's really going on. I do feel like another generational run is loading, though. I don't want to say that prematurely, but I do sort of feel, just in the past few days, It feels like everybody's talking about me all of a sudden, all over again. Tucker is interviewed by the New York Times. Half of it is about me. Hassan Piker can't stop talking about me. He's being compared to me. Megyn Kelly seems like she might be interested maybe in a collaboration. I'm not sure. She talked to the Red Skrull, Red Skrull, the Red Scare Girls today. And I really appreciate what they said about me. Anna Kachian said, Tucker is just butthurt because Nick is more popular than him. He owns everybody. I was like, wow, thanks. They're so nice to me. I love Dasha and Anna. I have a soft spot for them. I feel seen, which is ironic, you know, because they're women and I'm me and I'm a guy. But I feel so seen. I feel like they really get me. I feel like they really understand that I'm a sensitive yearner. I feel like they get that. Other people don't really get that. So maybe there's something to that. I said it the other day. I feel like the Groi Bats really get me. I feel seen. All the chuds, the chuds do not get me at all. The chuds don't understand anything about me. But it's like the Red Scare Girls, it's like they almost just get it. So I appreciate what they said. it was kind of awesome because they're on Megyn Kelly and they're like hip. They're like hip. They're with it. She's in succession. Anna's a friend of Barry Weiss. They're hip. They're with it. And they go on the show and they're like, he just owns everybody. He's so much more popular than Tucker. I'm like, bro, thank you for aura farming me. Thank you so much for aura farming me. I really needed that. So that was a W. So yeah, it just feels like we're getting back into it. Here we go again. But anyway, that's that. I do want to move on. Before we get into our news, few things.

Hundred bucks a month to get to be in the group chat with me hanging out, chilling, talking about whatever you want to talk about. I also have some bad news. Get a load of this. Get a load of this. So the service that we use for super chats for many years is called Entropy. I'm sure you've, if you've ever super chatted the show, you've probably used it before. It's Entropy Stream is the website. As of today, Entropy is shut down. They're out of business. They're done. Entropy is closed. So going forward, If you want to super chat the show, you have to either super chat on Rumble or you have to super chat at our own website, which I prefer. And that is America First Plus dot super chat. We're going to shorten that link. I don't know what they were thinking. I don't know what anybody was thinking when they did that. I don't know who thought that was a good idea. Let's let's make it. Let's call it the America First Show plus dot net slash super chat. It's like, well, what are we thinking? What are we thinking? It should be a shorter URL. Who's going to remember that? It's totally insane, but it's fine. It's fine. Honestly, it's fine. I guess I'm just the only one that has a brain. It's okay. So the extremely long URL that it's totally fine, it's americafirstplus.superchat. You got all that? americafirstplus.superchats. Just genius. Anyway, but that is what we're using now. Entropy is done. And let me tell you what it's okay, but it's okay. But honestly, it's fine. I'm not even mad. I'm not even mad. Okay. I promise I'm not going to get too aggressive. Everybody says I'm too aggressive. Really? Me? It's fine. I'm not even mad about it. It's totally fine. Why would you ever think that it would need to be shorter than that? It's totally fine. Anyway, it's okay. Seriously. But so get a load of this. So entropy, we have been, somebody, hang on. My guy just texted me. AF dot plus slash super chat. Okay. So actually it's shorter. Actually, wait, wait, wait, wait, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So my assistant just tagged me. It's af.plus slash super chat. We'll workshop it. We'll workshop it. Honestly, it's fine. We'll workshop it. That's not much better. It's fine. We'll workshop it. It's fine. Okay. So get a load of this. So we've been using Entropy for years. And they are the censorship-proof platform. Dude, they have taken their chunk of flesh. They charge me 15% on every super chat, which is insane. But they've been good. I don't want to complain. They've been very good to me. But that's a lot. That's a big processing fee. So we've been with Entropy for, I don't know, maybe like six years, five or six years or something. censorship proof super chat service. We've worked very closely with them. They support the show. All of a sudden, in just the past three months, there's been a ton of media pressure on the super chats. There was some big expose on this company in Canada. They sent journalists out to another country on the other side of the planet where they live, banging on their door, hunting down their processor because the Entropy website supports this show. And that's ultimately what led to them getting shut down. They had a ton of banking problems, and this is because of the press putting pressure on them. Then there was another piece in Washington Post a couple weeks ago about how much money I make from the super chats. So it's happening all over again. It's happening. This is how it goes. I told you it would be like this. It is a boom and bust cycle, which is to say that whenever I get an opportunity, whenever I exploit a loophole, somebody is able to adapt and figure out a way to give me a platform, give me an ability to make money. I'm able to put my clips on Instagram, whatever. Literally, when I'm even on the playing field, forget about a level playing field, a fair playing field, whenever I'm allowed on the field. Whenever they let me out of the box that I'm eating, whenever they let me out of the penalty box, whenever they let me out of the cage, and I get to even get on the field, I just crush everything in sight. I just destroy everything, number one all the time. And then what always happens is they catch up, journalists, the Jews, Israel, the government, and then they close all the loopholes, and then I'm in prison for another three years. And this is the game that we play. So for everybody that says, oh, what are you complaining about? You're rich. What are you complaining about? You have it easy. I do not have it easy. At all. This is always the game that they play. And people say, you're in with the SPLC. You're in with the government. Man, I wish. I wish. Because no, the left is still trying to get me debanked. Do you know that? They are still attacking my income every day. They are still attacking my clips every day. I wish I was in league with the government. Maybe then I could get credit card processing on a website for longer than a year. That's my favorite part. Oh, he's controlled up. Oh, he's propped up. Dude, they're not letting me do anything. We had our super duper secret payment processor processing payments in Turkey. in Turkey. They're in another country. Super duper. Just so we could take a $20 super chat so we could process the payment with the card. And what do they do? They hunt these people down and get them kicked off of every bank they have. And people go, I'm being allowed to roll. Why are they letting him? They've barely let me do anything. Nobody's letting me do anything. I'm banned from Airbnb. I'm banned from Stripe. I can't be on the kick partner or whatever because I'm banned from Stripe. You know what kick told me? They said, you should clear that up with Stripe. I was like, oh, gee, thanks. You think? Oh, yeah. Let me call them up. Hey, can I process credit cards again? Can we clear up this misunderstanding? Can I make money on the internet, please. So it just, that's how it is. So anyway, that's a funny little, that's a funny, hilarious little story about my life. So no longer entropy. It's either got to be Rumble or it's got to be on our site, af.plus slash super chat, af.plus slash super chat. That's the website. Check it out. Because, yeah, we may not be long for this world. Knock on wood. Rumble, if you can hear me, please, please do not fold. Like, it's, guys, I can't. I don't want to go back to cozy. I don't want to go back to cozy. Don't send me back to cozy. I'll do anything. Please, I'll do anything. Very wise if you could hear me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. You're beautiful. You're not fat or stupid. Please don't send me back to cozy. I don't want to go back. I can't do it again. Mediating disputes between politically provoked and Tenryo. I can't go back to that. I don't want to go back to that. I can't go back to that life. Peter Thiel, if you could hear me, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Give me $5 million. No, I'm kidding. Yeah, we'll try. We'll figure something out. I don't know. We'll have to figure something out. Anyway, but we're going to move on. We're going to get into the news. Yeah, yeah, it's another day. Another day, another shekel. We're getting Jude again. Yeah, it just doesn't get any easier, does it? No. But it's fine. But honestly, it's fine. It's totally fine. I'm doing fine. All right. But we're going to move on. We're going to get into the news. It's it is kind of funny when you. Yeah, it's kind of hilarious when you think about it. But we are going to move on. We're going to get into the news. But see, this is kind of the point, isn't it? Our featured story, we're talking about the gubernatorial primary in Ohio. Vivek Ramaswamy is the winner. Vivek Ramaswamy is the Republican nominee for the Ohio governor's race in 2026. Terrific. And Vivek won the nomination after he got a last-minute boost from J.D. Vance. From our fearless vice president, and you might remember, it was last year that J.D. Vance lent Vivek Ramaswamy some of his campaign personnel to help him. And then J.D. Vance made a little pit stop in Ohio earlier this week, I believe yesterday actually, to vote for Vivek because J.D. is still a citizen of Ohio. And you know what's funny about that? You know what's really funny about that? So J.D. Vance, funnily enough, he went to law school with Vivek Ramaswamy. They were Yale Law School classmates, and J.D. Vance's son, his firstborn son, is also named Vivek. Isn't that a funny coincidence? So J.D. and Vivek knew each other at Yale like 15 years ago, and that's also where J.D. met his wife Usha, who is of Indian descent. Well, J.D.'s firstborn son is named Vivek. So there was this funny little moment where J.D. brought his son, Vivek, to vote for Vivek. J.D. and Vivek Vance came to Ohio to vote for Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio governor's primary. And I just thought, isn't that the most special little moment? I love our new GOP. I don't know about you guys, but I love our new Republican Party. I think you're going to love our new country. It's really great. If you like Trump, if you were on board with the original MAGA movement, if you were on board with the original Trump 2016 campaign, which was about building a border wall, removing all immigrants, ending all wars, attacking international banks, well, you're going to love the new GOP, which is J.D. Vance, his wife Usha, their son Vivek, and their best friend, Uncle Vivek Ramaswamy, who thinks that Americans are dumb and lazy. So if you like Trump 1.0, if you like the 1,000-year Trump and Reich MAGA fascism, you're going to love the two Viveks, Usha and JD. Get excited for that. Get excited for JD, David Sachs, Vivek. This is going to be great. Tucker, I can't wait. So Vivek Ramaswamy is the winner. He is now the Republican nominee. He'll be running as a Republican for the Ohio governorship. This is the story about that. This This is from NBC. It says, quote, Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican pharmaceutical entrepreneur, and Dr. Amy Acton, a Democrat who served as the Ohio health director under the current Republican governor, won their respective primaries for governor on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press, setting up what will most likely be a closely watched contest this fall. Ohio has not made a Democrat its governor for nearly 20 years, but recent polls have shown a surprisingly tight race to succeed Governor Mike DeWine. The campaigns have strikingly different pitches. Dr. Acton's emphasizes affordability, a message her campaign thinks will resonate at a time when gas prices are soaring and inflation is up. Well, Mr. Ramaswamy's focus is on a gospel of ambitious renewal, promising to make Ohio once again a national hub of innovation and wealth. But while Mr. Ramaswamy's aspirational speeches, not to mention his deep pockets, have excited Republican Party leadership his longstanding eagerness to weigh in on a broad range of subjects have proved a fertile source of unwanted headlines He has already drawn the enmity of the populist right for expounding on American culture's tendency to venerate mediocrity. More recently, recordings have circulated of Mr. Amaswamy joking that Ohio is not his favorite state and explaining to a voter in Iowa the fundamental differences between his Hindu faith and Christianity, saying he considered Jesus a son of God but not the son of God. Such moments of candor may not reassure a skeptical Ohio conservative. Some of this unease was evident in the showing by the other Republican who ran in the primary, Casey Push. An auto enthusiast with far-right views, Mr. Push raised less than $125,000 for his campaign yet was drawing around 18% with half the vote reported. now I do want to talk a little bit about Casey push because I was very hard on him and a lot of people were saying why are you attacking this guy he's a Republican in the race and so on here's the thing about this primary here's what's actually a little bit crushing this Republican primary might have actually been winnable it is totally possible that an insurgent, spoiler, Republican, primary challenger could have defeated Vivek Ramaswamy. Just look at the result. Casey Pusch had almost no name recognition. He raised no money. He hardly did any events. He ran a horrible campaign. And even still, he got almost 20% of the vote, basically just by being on the ballot next to Vivek. Now imagine if you had somebody like James Fishback in Ohio. Somebody who's actually smart. Somebody who's actually good at talking. Somebody who actually has a good digital team. Somebody who's doing events across the entire state, hitting every county. Viral and active on social media. Imagine if you actually had somebody competent in Ohio. I don't know that that person would have had an easy shot at winning, but certainly it would have been competitive. And it might have even been close. Think about how much Vivek Ramaswamy blew it when he gave his Christmas speech in 2024. That was ample material. That was ample ammunition to destroy him. This is Ohio. This is a working class, Appalachian, Rust Belt, Great Lakes state that Republicans have carried, specifically Trump, by 10 points in recent elections. and you have an Indian pharmaceutical billionaire who is trashing white Americans on Twitter on Christmas and you couldn't win, you couldn't beat him? Think about it. This is Ohio. It's half Rust Belt, half Appalachia. It's all white people. This was ground zero for the Springfield Haitians eating cats and dogs. Like I said, Trump has carried the state by 10 points. As a populist, speaking to the white working class, speaking to the Rust Belt victims, and you've got an Indian, first-gen immigrant, pharmaceutical billionaire who said on Christmas that Americans are so mediocre and so lazy and so stupid that that is why they're falling behind India and Vietnam and China and all these H-1Bs from Asia. And that was on Christmas in 2024. And see, guys, this is what I'm talking about when I say, and I said this the other night. When we talk about our ambitions and objectives in politics, let me tell you what works. We have to be better than everybody by far. We have to be the best. so there's a lot of people that think that we're going to get into politics and if we're angry enough and if we're loud enough and if we're upset enough that things are just going to happen for us that we're just going to get our way if we are just emotional and loud and extreme if we just go on Twitter and we just tweet something really pissed off that this sentiment that this emotionality that is just going to make it fall into place. And you know what else? If that doesn't work, they throw their arms up and they say, well, it's not fair. I saw this guy saying that. I saw other people saying that about this primary. I had people saying that in the weeks leading up to this election. People said, well, the reason Casey pushes and winning is because the other side is suppressing his approval or favorability in the polls. It's because the state is out to get him. It's because they wouldn't verify his signatures. It's because they're out. This mentality is all wrong. It's all wrong. Let me tell you the mentality that we need to win. The mentality is no excuses. No excuses ever. We have to be the smartest. We have to be the most advanced, the most sophisticated, the most clever. We have to be better than everybody else by far. We have to be state-of-the-art pioneers, industry leaders. We have to be running a laboratory, experimenting. We always have to be ahead of everybody else. And we have to be better than them. We have to work harder. We have to be smarter. We have to be better. Because it's true, it is a rigged system. And it is unfair. And they have way more money than us. And they have way more endorsements. And they have way more clout. and they're networked up and they're mobbed up. And the only thing that is going to win is if we are just so much better that we overcome all of those disadvantages. And we can settle for nothing other than victory. I don't know about you, but saying I lost but it wasn't fair isn't good enough. Saying, sure he lost, but that's just how it goes because somebody that is that pure can never win. He's not cut out to be a politician because he's too good of a guy. Well, if you're too good of a guy to win, then fuck you. Do something else. I saw some people seriously say that. They said he's too good of a guy. He doesn't wear a suit like a politician. He's just not cut out for this because he's too pure. Well, if you're too pure to win in politics, then get the fuck out of politics and go do something else. Go work in an auto shop. Go work in a hardware store. What matters in politics is winning. That's actually all that matters anywhere, is winning at any cost. So if you're too pure or too good or too fucking simple, if you're too simple and provincial, your provincial sensibilities do not facilitate you winning elections, then maybe you should be a volunteer instead of the candidate. And leave it to the Machiavellians. Leave it to the narcissists. Leave it to the attention whores. Leave it to the performers. Leave it to the iconoclasts because they actually get momentum. They actually belong in politics. They actually get results. And you may not like it, but that's what works. so I saw some of that and that attitude is going to get us killed that attitude is going to make us lose and let me tell you, you know in 2016 that was the original appeal of Trump is we were getting our asses kicked by the left all the time forever because Republicans would just lose all the time because Republicans were stupid and naive and just bad at politics and when Trump came around we said finally a killer Finally, a winner. Finally, someone who's just going to do everything and anything at any cost and be ruthless and just fucking win. And we contrasted that against all the other conservatives that called themselves principled losers. We contrasted Trump and Breitbart and the Groypers, the frogs on Twitter. We contrasted all of that with the older generation of National Review conservatives who would lose every election, who would lose every argument, lose every debate. But they would say, at least we went down honorably. At least we lost with our principles. At least we never compromised. You know what you get when you lose with your principles? You get shot in the back of the head and buried in a shallow grave. I don't want that to happen. So people say at least we lost with our pride and our dignity. Fuck pride and principles and dignity and all of it. If you lose, we die. If we lose, we lose our country. If we lose, you get Vivek Ramaswamy and the immigrants lording over us. So we have to win. That's why I didn't endorse this person. And I didn't endorse this person because I don't like losers. And I don't like loserdom spreading over into our situation. Because you know what, everybody? If I had went all in behind this guy in this primary and then he loses, you know what everybody's going to say about me? And they already are regardless. Hanania and all the other Jews are saying, oh, look, Casey Push only got 15%. I guess groiperism isn't real. I guess it's an online phenomenon. I guess it doesn't translate into the political world. I guess it can be safely ignored. That's what they can say when you don't have a serious campaign and you lose. That's why I can't be involved with that. Now I can credibly say I had nothing to do with that train wreck. I didn't endorse it because it had no chance of winning, not because of its ideas, but because of its team. I like getting behind people that actually are making a difference. I look at somebody like James Fishback, whatever you want to say, even in the end. I don't know how that's going to turn out. I really don't know what the vote will be in that primary in August. But what you can say about James Fishback is an interesting comparison is that regardless of the outcome, Fishback is a phenomenon. It's viral. It's undeniable. It's all over social media. Everywhere he goes, he gets crowds of young people. It's interesting. It's different. It's exciting. He's doing the work. And I'm not trying to create enmity between them. And, you know, this is just an interesting comparison. Fishback is going to Waffle House and the whole place is filled with college kids. He's going to the universities and people are screaming, chanting USA is putting on the burger crown. I'm sure older people are watching this and saying, what is this? Why is he putting on a crown? It's different. It's viral. It's exciting. There's crowds. It's profiled in the New York Times because something is happening there. And that's somebody that's not leaving anything on the field. That's somebody that's doing the work, looking the part, refining the message. And, you know, there's been a couple of missteps. We don't need to, you know, dwell on that. But for the most part, this is somebody that's creating an exciting blueprint for something that maybe it might not work now, although I hope it will. But certainly that's like a new model. That's a new blueprint for in the future. And like to me, that's the kind of thing I want to be involved in. That's the kind of thing that I want to invest in. And that those are the kinds of projects that we need to consider. And so I know I'm not endearing myself to a lot of people when I talk like this. But this has been a constant battle inside the dissident right movement for as long as I've been doing the show for the past 10 years. I am constantly at war with my own side because I expect better. I am trying to raise the bar up. I am trying to raise the standard. I am trying to tell our side that we should expect more of ourselves. Better looking, better sounding, better results. And people don't like to hear that. People want to be Oliver Anthony. They want to go and cry about the problems in the woods, about how we're all losers. They want to be conventional. They want to do things that have been done and haven't worked. And I know nobody likes to hear it, but it's time for a little bit of tough love, Whether it's that conference that was held this weekend, whether it's Casey Push, whether it was those two nitwits that were on CNN, that isn't going to cut it. And if we have any tolerance for mediocrity like that, this is never going to take off. No, you're not going to wear your merch and your hey dudes with your disgusting, fat, chubby little body and say you represent this movement on national television. I'm not going to let that happen. And it might hurt your feelings, but we can't allow that. so that's just a little note on the primary it's very disappointing because like i said this was by all appearances could have been a competitive primary that a groiper candidate could have succeeded in unfortunately just attracted the wrong person and so it was a abject failure 18 for showing up you could have gotten 30 if they put a little effort in Disappointing. Disappointing. You lost. And you didn't do a very good job. So you're done. Now here's the next part about all this. And I said it at the top of the show. So Vivek Ramaswamy is now the nominee in Ohio. And here is the brutal truth about that. What you have to recognize about Vivek Ramaswamy is that people might say you have a Republican and a Democrat running in this race. And I've seen people say on Twitter, we have to reluctantly get behind Vivek because it's better than a Democrat. Anything is better than a Democrat. It's always better than the alternative. It's a lesser of two evils. These are the kinds of things that we hear every single time. Let me tell you a little bit, however, about the logic here. What does Vivek Ramaswamy represent in the Republican Party? Well, first of all, let's just state the obvious. He is a foreigner. His parents are immigrants. He's an Indian. He is a Hindu Indian, a practicing Hindu. Let's go further. He's a pharmaceutical billionaire who is in bed with this clique of J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel and all these other interests. And what you could say in a word is that he is a complete outsider to the MAGA, America First, Groyper movement. This is somebody that does not represent in any way, shape or form a pro-white Christian nationalist America first vision. Not at all. He's a libertarian. He's not even a Christian. And he's an immigrant that is in favor of more immigration. He looks upon immigrants favorably. His ideology, as he said, is something like national libertarianism, a colorblind meritocracy. He wants America to throw open the borders to the best and brightest of his homeland, India, and the rest of the world. In case you haven't noticed, that is in contravention of everything that Trump represents. That is against everything that the dissident right or the ascendant America First movement represents. We want to get back to a vision of America as a European descended nation. We spawned from Europe. We are mostly European. We have a European character. We're also a Christian civilization. That is the religion of our ancestors. That is the religion of our nation. That is the religion of our civilization. We are against immigration. We have had far too much for far too long. And for all this talk about the best and brightest Indians, they're not even that good. As many people who have ever encountered them will tell you. They're not quite bright or good at all. But moreover, we want to look for the best and brightest Americans. There's a lot of talented Americans that do not have opportunities because the opportunities are being given to cheaper foreign-born labor. There's a lot of high-IQ Americans that are out there in flyover country that just never get opportunity to get into higher education. Nobody ever invests in them because we have DEI programs. because Chinese students are going to pay $70,000 a year to attend the same school that a white student would need government aid to attend, would need some kind of subsidized loan. So on basically every issue, in terms of his demographic profile, his religion, his ideology, this guy is not America first. You could even go back to his rant on Christmas, which I'll actually read to you. You might remember that shortly after Trump won the election in 2024, for whatever reason, Vivek took to Twitter on Christmas that week to drop this screed about why white Americans are so pissed off. This is what he said. He said, Olympiad champ or the jock over the valedictorian will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Corey from Boy Meets World or Zack and Slater over Screech and Saved by the Bell or Stefan over Steve Urkel and Family Matters will not produce the best engineers. More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of Friends, more math tutoring, fewer sleepovers, more weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons, more books, less TV, more creating, less chilling, more extracurriculars, less hanging out at the mall. Most normal American parents look skeptically at those kinds of parents. More normal American kids view those kinds of kids with scorn. Which, by the way, there's like this resentment throughout the entire thing. Because he was that kind of kid. His parents were those kinds of parents. He's not a Native American. He says if you grew up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Close your eyes and visualize which families you knew in the 90s who raised their kids according to one model versus the other. Normalcy doesn't cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. If we pretend like it does, we'll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We've awakened from slumber before and we can do it again. And it goes on more like this. Vivek Ramaswamy is telling Americans the reason you're not winning is because you're too lazy you're having too many sleepovers you're watching too much TV really? it's not because they opened the borders to unlimited immigrants it's not because they opened the borders to unlimited goods and services from other countries that had nothing to do with it it's not because NAFTA opened up the border to Mexico and all these peasants that were working on farms were then given jobs at auto plants. It's not because we have a free trade agreement with the entire world and now you have sweatshops, children in sweatshops and people killing themselves at Foxconn plants, competing with Americans that want a first world quality of life. Obviously, and once again, if you saw my show last night, there's some threads that run through both of these stories here. obviously the American people were given a raw deal by the ruling elites Republican and Democrat for the past 30 years that was by the way the entire basis of the Trump movement the pillars of the Trump movement primarily were free trade and immigration it's the idea that simultaneously the opening of the borders to goods but also people is what undermined our quality of life It was free trade that let cheap goods from Mexico, from China, from Malaysia and Vietnam. That is what destroyed industry. And it was cheap labor, low skilled and high skilled from Latin America and Asia, respectively, that has undermined American labor. And so these two things have totally hollowed out the workshops, the industry, the manufacturing, the labor force, the technical ability of the people. It was policy. In other words, it was policy. Republicans and Democrats both together pursuing these policies of open borders and free trade, which is what destroyed the wealth of the country. And by wealth, I don't just mean money. I mean the human capital. I mean the capital, the heavy machinery, the factories, the technical know-how, the pipeline, getting people into factories, developing the technical ability. to build machines and the machines that build the things. That was the basis of Trumpism, was pointing this out, that yes, you were screwed. People in Ohio, for that matter, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Chicago, Pennsylvania, it was these people that were screwed as the economy went from a manufacturing economy to a service economy that then lost their livelihoods and with it lost their towns and their families and their lives. That was the whole idea. What Vivek represents is a redefinition. They're recapitulating MAGA in a new way. And they're saying now that actually the reason the white people are angry, the reason the white people don't have more, the reason America's in decline is not because of policy, but because you got too decadent. You know, think about the way the country is now. they're telling us you're still too lazy. People are picking up two and three jobs now. People are. I know people that have applied for hundreds, hundreds of jobs and done dozens of interviews and they can't get a call back. People have been through the gauntlet of three, four, five interviews and they don't get a job. And in the middle of this six dollar gas because of a war in Iran, inflation because they doubled the money supply because they shut down the businesses during COVID. They told every business in America other than Amazon and Walmart that they had to shut down for a year. After all of these disastrous policies, war with Iran, more free trade, a COVID lockdown, doubling the money supply. In the middle of all this, Vivek is telling people, yeah, the problem is you. You're lazy. You're enjoying high school too much. Your kids are having too many sleepovers. They're watching too much TV. We need to be more like a sweatshop in Malaysia. We need to be more like these gauche Indian strivers that came from poverty, that came from abject poverty, people shitting in the river. What does this represent? This is a redefinition of MAGA. And by the way, it's a package deal. That's Tucker, that's Vivek, That's J.D. Vance. And they're telling us that the new version of MAGA, the new version of making America great again, is not blaming the globalists, not blaming the policies of free trade and open borders, not celebrating heritage Native Americans, not celebrating our greatness as a civilization, but alternatively blaming those people. telling those people you got cocky, you got lazy, you got decadent. Instead, we need to learn from the Mexicans. We need to learn from the Chinese. Indians and Jews, these strivers, they are now going to wag their fingers and tell us the problem is you. The solution is we need to open the border to more H-1Bs. We need to be more like them. We're going to continue all those things. You've got to just compete. You either got to learn to program, learn AI, or fall behind. And too bad. That's the new message. Now, let's get back to the Ohio governor's election. What is actually at stake here? Well, it turns out that what is at stake is not actually what happens in Ohio. It doesn't even really matter that much. Ohio holds a governor's election every four years, and a Republican almost always wins. So what is this election really about? It doesn't even matter so much what happens in Ohio, what a Democrat might do, what a Republican might do. What is at stake here is that if Vivek Ramaswamy becomes the governor of Ohio, it doesn't end there. It never ends. He becomes governor of Ohio, and then he's a statewide elected official. He is now on the ladder to build a national political profile for himself. So that means another Ramaswamy for president campaign. That means he's going to be in another Republican cabinet at some point. We're going to be dealing with this guy for the rest of our lives. But it's not just him. It also sends a message to every other Republican in the country, every prospective candidate, but also to the Republican Party, which is that this works. The voters will tolerate anything. We can choose this piece of shit. We can choose this arrogant gauche striver, this pretentious billionaire douchebag. We can pick him to be the nominee. And people in a state like Ohio, Appalachia, Rust Belt, White, MAGA, white working class, blue collar, we can put a guy like that in Ohio and he could still win. And what message does that teach the Republican Party? It tells them that that's the new blueprint. That's the new model. And that's going to work there, and it's going to work in Pennsylvania, and it's going to work in Michigan and Wisconsin. And that is the new ideology of the party. It worked in Ohio, so that's the party. Either the voters will tolerate it or it worked, so it's a winning message and we'll celebrate it. But that is what we will teach the GOP. Not only that we're okay with it, but they're going to give us more of that. and again think about that inversion what we have been getting at least in name only at least nominally from Trump is a message of nationalism at the minimum there's this expectation that we're going to have mass deportations a border wall, a tariff schedule we're going to have protectionism at least with Trump there is the expectation because of that original campaign that at least they have to pay lip service to these ideas of nativism, immigration restriction, trade protection, remanufacturing, reindustrialization, all these things. Because that was the original movement. If we get Vivek, it's a huge backslide. And you're telling people you have to get comfortable with a browner, less Christian, less right wing, less nationalistic Republican Party. You're just going to have to shut up and get used to it. The new GOP is going to be Stryver Indians, Jews, Chinese, gays. That's going to be your new GOP. No they not going to be Christian No they not going to be white No they not going to even like white people And no they not even going to be conservative They going to be libertarian And you going to get used to it because they have the money Because Vivek is a billionaire. Because David Sachs is a billionaire. Because they're going to cough up the money. And we're going to get that. That is going to be the GOP now. And that, by the way, is our only shot. It's either the Democrats or the GOP. If you give Vivek the victory, the GOP backslides away from, you know, Trumpism was a failure. It's going to get worse. We're going to have techno libertarians and, you know, Zionist nationalists running the party. And then that is your only option other than the Democrats, because the GOP is the organized, institutionalized opposition to the left. So what is really at stake in Ohio? It's not what happens in Ohio. It's not about the governance. What is at stake in Ohio is the fate of the Republican Party, which is the fate of the organized opposition. If Vivek wins, sure, it's going to be better than the Democrat. Certainly. 100%. Take it to the bank. If Vivek wins, he's going to be a better governor for Ohio for four years. He's going to be marginally better. Maybe he will be, maybe he won't be. I imagine if he's a Republican, he'll be better. But so what? In four years, there'll be another election and maybe wins and maybe he doesn't. But what happens after that is you teach the Republican Party at the national level. First of all, you give him a career and he's going to be in the pantheon of Republican leadership for the rest of our lives, potentially. But you also teach the GOP as an organizational lesson, which is not only that we will tolerate this, but that this works, that this works. And they can try it again, and they can give us more of this. They don't need to pander anymore to white people. They don't need to pander anymore to Christians. They don't need to even pretend to be Christian. They don't even need to pretend to care about our heritage or white people or anything like that. That's the lesson you're teaching them. So it is so much more important in this election that he loses, Even if he might be a marginally better governor, what he does to the national GOP is far more detrimental. That's why he has to lose at any cost. That's the game that we have to play. The message has to be, if you give us an Indian billionaire who hates God, we will send it back. We will take the Democrat. We will take our lumps. We'll take the L. We will re-roll in four years. Try again. You gave us Vivek. You gave us this shit. We're sending it back. We don't want it. You can have your Vivek back. You can have your candidate back. We don't want him. Try again in the next four years. That's your problem. And you know what? That's going to hurt the GOP more than it's going to hurt anybody in Ohio. I'll tell you that much. Because you know what it means if Vivek gets the governorship in Ohio? How many kickbacks for his friends that J.D. Vance knows? J.D. Vance is a venture capitalist. That means that he invests, he makes all these very risky bets in tech companies. And he worked with Peter Thiel. So they're putting money into Anderil, and they're putting money in all these different tech platforms. They're putting money into all these tech startups. What do you think happens when Vivek becomes the governor of Ohio as the Republican? Kickbacks. Kickbacks. That's what that means. kickbacks for Republican billionaires, kickbacks for Silicon Valley, for Little Tech, kickbacks for the politically connected to J.D. Vance. Why would we reward these people? Why would we reward the GOP? Why would we reward this patronage network with these kickbacks from the state of Ohio when they're giving us an Indian Hindu that hates us and is an immigrant? People say, you're only shooting yourself in the foot if you don't vote for the Republican. No, we're shooting you in the face. And that's what we want to do, metaphorically. People say if you don't vote for the Republican and you get a Democrat, you're cutting your nose to spite your face. You're shooting yourself in the foot. You're only hurting yourself. No, you're wrong. We're hurting you. Because if Vivek doesn't win the election, then Anderil doesn't get its kickbacks. If Vivek doesn't win the election, Les Wexner doesn't get his kickback. If Vivek doesn't win the election, none of the billionaires, none of the Republicans get what they want. Good. Fuck you. You didn't give us the candidate we wanted. Now you don't get the governor's mansion. You don't get the seat and all the benefits and privileges that are conferred by it. Vivek doesn't get a political career and all his backers don't get the kickbacks that they want. So it is actually about sending a message. I am not a Democrat. I am not a leftist. I am not even liberal. I'm right wing. I'm an identitarian. I'm a nationalist. And yeah, Amy Acton is not going to be good for Ohio. But here's the way it's going to shake out. In November, you got two candidates that can win the election. You got a Democrat and a Republican. You got Amy Acton and you got Vivek Ramaswamy. It's a binary. Those are the only two that are going to win. Now, if you vote for Vivek, Vivek is going to win. If you sit out, well, Vivek won't get those votes. But if you vote for Amy Acton, it improves her chances of winning. And so this is why I'm telling all the Groypers, we are going for the Democrat in Ohio. And I know it's unpopular. And I know it's controversial. Good. And I know people are not going to like it. That's fine. People are going to hate me for this. And they're going to call me a shill. And they're going to say I'm a plant. And they're going to say we're vindicated on him. he turns out to be a Democrat, fine. Let's be the villain. Let's be the villain because we hate the Republican Party right now more than we hate the Democrats. You're damn right. And you want to know why? Because the Democrats, at least it's the devil we know. The Democrats are the enemy. I'll take an enemy over a traitor. The Republican Party put up a pharmaceutical billionaire Hindu Indian who wants more H-1Bs to run for governor of a Rust Belt state. That is a betrayal. That is an insult. They have spit in the face of every Republican in the state of Ohio. They thought that they could get away with that. They thought that we would tolerate that, that they could shove that down our throats because we're stuck, because they have us hostage, because we have no other options. We have to go with the Republican. So they really thought they would get away with that. That's who they like because Vivek is a billionaire. He's got a lot of money and he's got a lot of friends in Silicon Valley with deep pockets. So the Republican Party leadership loves it. They don't care that we absolutely hate it. They know that we're going to shut up and take it because we got nowhere else to go because they think that they have us hostage. I am not a Democrat. I'm under no illusions about what the Democratic Party represents. I think they're immoral. But I am going to tell people to vote for the Democrats, to send a message to the Republicans. We will not tolerate a Republican Party that doesn't represent us anymore. We will not tolerate a Republican Party that isn't America first. If it's not America first, we're sending it back. If it's not America first, we're not voting for it. You're not going to get the seat. You're not going to get the benefits. We will not tolerate it. So yes, we are going out for the Democrat happily, proudly, as a middle finger to Vivek Ramaswamy and his giant head. Every vote for Amy Acton from a Republican, from a Gruper, from a nationalist, from a Trump supporter, it is a middle finger to Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy for trying to foist this upon us. And that's how you have to look at it. That's what it is. It is a protest vote. It is a fuck you. Because we would rather go with the Democrats just to demonstrate you don't own us. You don't own our vote. You don't hold us hostage. You're not going to tell us what the GOP is going to be. The voters will tell you. So you gave us Vivek. We're going to give you Amy Acton. And yeah, nobody's going to be happy about it. you're not going to be happy, we're not going to be happy, here's the message, do better next time. Do better in these other races in 26, do better in 2028, and in Ohio, you know what, you're going to get another chance in 2030. Ohio's a very Republican state, they go 10 points for the Republicans usually, they haven't had a Democratic governor in almost 20 years. so I'm happy with Amy Acton as a one term Democrat governor give the Republican Party a chance to get their act together and maybe next time they can give us a candidate that we can get behind so I'm going out to Ohio and it's not going to be for a spoiler candidate it's going to be getting behind the candidate that will win that can defeat the fact and that's the Democrat it's going to be a protest vote it's going to be a middle finger there is nobody worse We cannot let, there is no circumstance where we can allow Vivek Ramaswamy to advance. He has to be shut out of politics completely. We have to slam the door on his arrogant, big, stupid fucking head and tell him, no, that's a bridge too far. There's a lot that we have tolerated. And people voted for Trump despite the reservations. There's a lot that we have tolerated over the years. That's too far. Absolutely not. I'll take Acton over Ramaswamy. Absolutely not. Under no circumstances can he advance another step or get a career. F you. And F the GOP that gave him to us. So that's going to be the mission this summer and in the fall is we are Democrats now. Yep, we are protest Democrats. We are Groiper Democrats. And we are going against Trump. We're going against Vivek because we're not happy. We did not get what we were promised. We were promised mass deportations, no new wars. We were promised electoral reform. How many of these things? And what we're getting is data centers, AI deregulation, a war with Iran, foreign aid, H-1B visas, and Vivek Ramaswamy. It's inexcusable. So we're going to have to send a message. we're going to have to crash the plane. This is our Flight 93 election, actually. We have to crash the plane into the field. So to borrow a phrase. So that's that. We're going to move on. I think, when did we start this show? How much time do we have? I think I started a little after 11. Let me just double check. I don't know if we have time to get into Iran, and I really don't want to talk about it. Yeah, you know what? Yeah, we're just going to move on and take a look at super chats. Oh, good news. We spent an hour on that. Okay, we're going to move on. We're going to take a look at the super chats. We'll talk about Iran tomorrow. It's already late. So let's see. We'll take a look. We'll see what you guys got going on over here. Yeah, yeah. We'll save Iran for tomorrow. Okay, let's take a look. Let's see what we got here. You just started. No, I didn't. I started at 11. Right? Yeah, yeah. We'll save Iran for tomorrow. We got to stretch it out because this is a slow week. We got to stretch. If I cover Iran tonight, then we got nothing for tomorrow.

Because, you know, $100 a month is good, but it's like it's a lot of people. It's a lot of people that are in it. And that's good. You want that. But, like, you know, I know some people want a more curated experience. So maybe we'll create another tier. Maybe we'll create a secret club. Oh, I like that. Yes. Yes, maybe we'll create a little secret club. What do you think about that? A little secret $1,000 a month club, only for the most elite, like a word of mouth. It's like that Disney thing. It's like Equinox. Somebody put me on to that recently. I think I might have to go off. And Groype out $14.88, $25. I have an opposite Groyper dilemma. I'm left-leaning, but my friends hate when I say just run society and I say nigga. How is that the opposite? Oh, because, like, I say left-wing things and the chuds hate me? Yeah, it's kind of funny. It's so hard. I need to find friends that are like right wing, but not chuds. Because like the chuds have gone insane. You can't do or say anything. It's like brother, you know. So it's hard. Shinobi Gray percent, $20. Any chance of a cameo on Extreme Peace 2? They will be filming this summer. I don't know, man. The White Recon sent $20. I don't think so. I'm not a good actor.

Well, I don't know that that's really what they were doing, but it just wasn't good. Dr. MC Spank has sent $20. Have you tried the coconut Red Bull yet? Life-altering. Other all flavors suck, but this one is a better white monster. S plus tier. No, I don't really experiment. I don't like to experiment. I just go with what I like. I just go with a white monster, sugar-free Red Bull. and I don't like to venture out, but I probably should. Maybe I should. Maybe I should venture out and experiment and try some new things. No, I'm kidding. But, yeah, maybe I should be more like that, I guess. Because I never have tried any of the other flavors, but I probably really enjoy them because I love Red Bull and Monster. But, yeah, I just never even think. The thought never crosses the threshold of my mind to even reach for another flavor. It's like they don't even exist. It's like my eyes can only see the ones that I've already had. A succulent Chinese meal sent $20. Would you rather listen to Steven Anderson preach for eight hours or listen to Marla Rose? Any woman really? Talk for one minute? Noisy 95 sent $20. Thank you for being the avatar of our generation. Picking the slings and arrows.

No opinion and no. George Floyd said $20. Does solitude come from a lack of profound conversations in today's society? Is high intelligence correlated to loneliness? Holy basic-ass question. Do highly intelligent people feel lonely? I don't know. I don't think it's about profound conversations. I think that's overrated. To me, it's really more about... I feel like most of the people that I meet, I just don't, they don't even really see me. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? It's not even that you're not talking about something deep or something of substance, because I don't think anybody really wants to sit around and talk about like philosophy. It's more like, are they really listening? Do they really see you? That's the question. And I think that it's especially hard these days to find people that genuinely see you, you know, or especially someone like me. So I think that it's not so much about a profound conversation. It's more about whether somebody's listening, whether somebody's listening, whether somebody's really – are they really present? That's really the question. SoyToys.com sent $21. I'm risking my fucking future career making these groy-furtill blushies, my slowest seller. By the way, I am killing myself. Fuck you. I don't know what that is, so. American Reformed sent $50.

Well, thank you for the big super chat. Happy birthday. Yeah, I am back in action. Sorry to hear about your friend. Life is very fragile. I mean, one day it's them. One day it's you. That's why you've got to live in the moment. We got to live for the now. I miss that mentality. Everybody now is setting plays. Everybody's thinking about the future. We got to get back to YOLO. We got to find our way back to YOLO. We got to find our way back. Do you remember when every pop song was like, you know, we might die tonight. We might not get tomorrow. You know, let's have a good time because we might not, you know, we might not be alive. We got to get back to YOLO. Where's that millennial optimism? Where's that YOLO? We got to get back to that. That's the energy that I've been on this year is I'm like, just say it. Just say what you're going to say. Say what you feel. Say what you think. Do whatever you want. Not like in a hedonistic way, but this recognition that it's it all could be taken away at any time. So no restraint, no discipline, no plans, no future. We have to live in the present. That's what I've been on. And I think it's because I'm getting older. I think that's why. It's because I'm getting older. It's because I'm 27. I could see the age on my face. I see the wrinkles. I feel it in my joints and in my bones. And I realize, wow, like, I'm going to die. I'm going to die. And everyone's getting killed all the time. Charlie Kerr got blown to smithereens. People are trying to kill me all the time. So I had a dream someone tried to kill me. And, yeah, so it's a few things that will do that to you. It's not just the getting old. It's also the assassination attempts. That will do it as well. So, anyway. So, yeah, got to live while you can. Leave nothing unsaid. You got to let go of the small things. Leave nothing unsaid. and you just got to, you know, we got to live. We got to put on that song. What's that song? Give me everything tonight. Grab somebody sexy. Tell them, hey, give me everything tonight. That's the energy we got to be on. Kick Butkowski was right, sent $25. Wow, Paul Hauser takes a break from being an extra in Cobra Kai to attack you. Orville's littering in the comments any minute. Oh, really? who's Paul Hauser? I don't know who that is. Dude, Arville is such a pathetic worm. It's insane. He's constantly texting me like, hey, man, can we be friends again? Hey, could you unblock me? Hey, can we work together? And then I ignore him. And then he's in the replies, ankle biting me. Nick will never be friends with me because he's a narcissist. And it's like, dude, you're such a fucking worm. It's actually unbelievable. How many times is this guy going to beg me to unblock him only to then like turn around and ankle bite me a week later. It's actually pathetic. Like, dude, hop off. Lance Cross, 24 cent, $20.

But, yeah, it's hard to watch, man. He's clearly going in a different direction. Look, obviously that's not his opinion. Like, he is saying that for some reason. Who knows why?

Thank you for the big super chat, though. I appreciate it. Big Play sent $20. Is it any surprise that these weirdos like Chud's Builder and Handsome Truth got exposed as cross-dressing homosexuals? They aren't intelligent or productive, only famous for being rambunctious. I don't believe that. I don't think that's true. That's not the issue. I mean, that would be an issue. But the issue is like the stuff that they're doing is just. To me, it's not nice. I don't believe in that. OK, and I saw Chud the Builder got a little bent out of shape about what I said. I don't think I said anything derogatory. I just I don't like that approach. That's not my approach. It's one thing to be vicious to the people in the arena. You want to be vicious to Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin. That's fair game. They're in the arena. But I really don't like that approach of antagonizing people in public. I just don't. I don't. I just don't like that in general, not even just for politics. But I think that people have enough on their plate. You don't know what people are going through. And people have enough problems. People are trying to get to work or they're trying to do their thing or they got something on their mind. I don't like that people are out there bothering everybody. I don't like that in general, whether it's prank channels, political stuff. I don't like that. So I just think that's wrong. I think it's unethical. That's not my MO. I don't like these streams where you go and become a public nuisance or you go and antagonize people or you try to instigate a fight. I don't like that. I don't like mean-spirited stuff. You know, it's one thing if you want to bring people in and you want to have a conversation or, you know, you want to brighten up their day or and it's for people that choose to participate. You know, that's one thing. But this like we're going to go to homeless people, make them say the N word. I mean, what's even the point of that? I don't that's not nice. And especially for politics, I don't think it's all that endearing. I think we want to be positive. I think it's good to be a positive force in the world. We should be kind. And I know that's rich coming from me. But again, it's people super chatting. They're participating in the process. I think if you're out in the world, you have to be an evangelist. You have to be a good representative. That's just me. Those are just my values. So I don't like that public spectacle stuff. Who needs that? You know, I want my platform on the Internet. If people want to watch it, they can watch it. It's entertainment. I don't like people bringing it into the world and inflicting that on the masses. It's part of the problem. Cabal sent $20. Nick, you can save America, but you have to live in a HBCU frat house every day for the rest of your life. Would you do it? Well, what are these? Orlando 1504 sent $20. Nick, did you go to Little Village today for Cinco de Mayo? And also, are you ever in contact with your parental grandfather's side? No, I didn't go to Little Village. I was ever in contact with my paternal grandfather's side. No, he died 50 years ago. My dad's father died, I think, in 1971. So he's long gone. He's been long gone. And I'm not really in touch with anybody from that side of the family, to be honest. So, I mean, my dad's siblings and his mom's siblings, but not so much anybody from the dad's dad's family. He was a troublemaker. Injun Joe, they call them. Injun Joe. Maybe that's where I get it. He was a maniac. He was very violent, a very violent, wild man with a bad temper and loved heroin and loved heroin. So that was the problem. So no, no contact with Injun Joe or anything like that. Brandmatic culture sent $100, which is potential redemption is entirely dependent on if he has the balls to tell his people to stay home come the actual gubernatorial election and deprive the GOP of the win. Or if he'll fold and go out for Vivek anyway like a bitch. Hey, thank you for the big super chat. Yeah, I guess. I think everybody should just get behind the Democrat. I think that's more powerful. Lieutenant Don's legs, $15, $20. Love you, Nick. Looking better than Clav nowadays. Fuck the haters who say otherwise. Are you kidding me? Nah, dude. Clav is taller. Game over. Taller. Bigger frame.

It's like probably every four weeks, three or four weeks. I could be your grandma sent $50. Please explain boomer hate. I understand we were born in a different USA. I just don't understand what we did to deserve the hate. Well, you guys just have all the money, so all the poor people are upset about it. See, I don't hate boomers because I'm not poor. But if you're some broke loser that has to, like, be a wage slave and you don't own anything, I could get why they hate you guys because boomers own all the real estate, own all the stocks, have big retirement accounts. That's a stereotype, at least. So the Zoomers hate that the boomers are hoarding all the wealth and they're broke. I think that's really what it is. Zoomers are like, why can't you give me all your money? It's like, I don't know, man. Get a job. Nuclear ballistic, Roy percent. I don't know. Get a job. There's like this, everybody makes this joke where they're like, oh, the boomers, they bought their house for like a quarter and a peanut and now it's worth a billion dollars. Like, yeah, we've all heard that joke before. America was like a third world country. America was like a third world country in the 50s and there was just all this potential and now we're, now it's just a different kind of country. Don't hate the players, hate the game. Neph. Hey, nephew, don't hate the player, hate the game, little nigga. The money's out there. It's easy to make money if you're smart. And I know people say, well, it's easy for you to say. You have a show. Dude, it has never been easier to make money. We have AI. We have TikTok. I've seen people do it. It's a lot of hard work and you need an idea. But like in the structural ways that matter, it's like never been easy to make money. And people don't want to hear that because then they say, wow, I feel like a piece of shit. Well, I don't know what to tell you. Some people are born to be entrepreneurs and have projects, and some people are born to wage, and it is what it is. Some people make excuses. Some people feel sorry for themselves, and some people get after it, and it happens all the time. I mean it happens every day in America that people are making money. They have an idea. They get on social media. They post their idea on social media. They use AI and YouTube tutorials to develop their skills. They suck at something. They get better at it. They meet people. It happens every day. And the people that make unbelievable money at a young age, they're not even impressive. Like I know a lot of them, and a lot of them aren't even that smart. They're not even that smart. They're not the most interesting people you've ever met, but they just fucking do it. They just do it. They just get after it. They have an idea. They work really hard. They don't let anybody – they don't look for somebody to give them permission. They just do it. They're not looking for somebody to give them permission or for somebody to deal them in. They just do it. I know a lot of people, they want everybody else to do the work. They're fantasizing about the cars, the watches. They want everybody else to do the work. They don't actually want to do the work themselves. People do it, I promise you, people do it every day. You have polymarket. You have sports betting. You have trading. You have you have A.I. You have social media. It's like the possibilities are truly endless. I know all kinds of people that make all kinds of money in many different ways. Crypto. I mean, you name it. You just need to be a little bit smart. Take the initiative. Work your ass off. It's never been easier. You just have to put the work in. You just have to do the very difficult task of doing something new today. That's hard. Instead of doing my normal routine, I'm going to do something new. I'm going to build a new skill. I'm going to learn something from scratch. It's going to be hard. Do it. It'll change your life. You know, so that's why, honest to God, that's why people hate the boomers. And don't get me wrong. Like, I recognize not everybody can do that. Totally true. And we do need an economy that works well, even for people that are never going to be entrepreneurs. That's true as well. But the reason that people hate the boomers, that is economic resentment. That is an economic issue. So, yeah. And, you know, look, the boomers are the beneficiaries. Boomers are on the dole. They're going to be receiving Social Security and pensions and Medicare until they die, which is going to be like 35 years from when they retire. They hit 65, they retire. Hit 70, they retire. And then they're going to be consuming tons of resources for the next 30 years from the government, from the private sector, elsewhere. There's some resentment about that too. Anyway, I didn't even read this one. slash year job in state and see them way more? Okay, sorry. What is the question? My bitch is going and we have two kids. Oh, grim. So, so grim. Should I, A, take a job out of state paying $250 a year and see the kids less, or B, take a $100K year job in state and see them more? I don't know. What do you want to do, man? You're asking me how much you want to see your own children? It's up to you. How much do you care about your children? I don't know, bro. That's really what a question to ask somebody. Should I see my kids more and make less money or make more money and see my kids less? That's really kind of your call, man. I don't think I can make that decision for you, actually. Chuck Johnson's cellmate sent $25, kind of mogging, looking like a gay Mexican Sinatra. Any updates on good old Chuck? He convert to Islam or he goes skinhead?

Growing up, there was nothing better than Portillo's. Nothing better. Beef sandwich, hot dog, burger, chocolate cake shake. There was nothing better. And now, dog shit. Absolute dog shit. Inedible. I will never go there again. Because they got bought out by private equity. And they wanted to expand everywhere. Now the restaurants don't even have a theme. All the restaurants used to have a theme. that would be like Prohibition era 1920s or like Depression era 1930s or World War II 40s or they would have like a retro futuristic 50s. All the restaurants had a theme. Labyrinth decorations, exterior, interior. It was like a true experience. And everything was on the money. Flavorful, fresh, hot, fast. It was all excellent. If you're from Chicago, you know there was nothing better. You go to the drive-thru at like 1 a.m. with your niggas. They take your order on the paper bag. Nothing better. Nothing better with the fam, with the homies, going through the drive-thru late at night. Or you go in the restaurant. I used to be afraid when I was a kid because I had this fear. This is a little insight into my neuroses. when I was a little kid, I never wanted to go to Portillo's because I had this fear that everything, all the decorations would fall down. So they have all these like decorations that are like hanging from the ceiling. And I had this fear when I was a kid of things falling from the ceiling. Is that totally bizarre? Anybody relate? I could never go anywhere where things were hanging from the ceiling because I thought I would go in and it would fall and kill me. So what does that say about like, you know, fear of things falling down? Kind of interesting. But anyway, so yeah, Portillo's used to be good. Now it's shit. Culver's is great. Bona Beef is great. I'll go to those chains. Those are probably the two chains I go to the most. Culver's and Bona Beef. Bona Beef has really stepped up their game. They're excellent. Always very hot, very fresh, very flavorful. The beef is great. Don't love the fries. I just get them well done. Fries are all right. They got these Italian beef bites. They got the hot dogs are great. They got pizza. I hear the pasta is good. I haven't had it before. The burger is a winner. Everything there's a winner. So Bona Beef is really good. Culver's is excellent. Always. Fuck Portillo's death to Portillo's. 25 and $20. What are your thoughts on Spencer Brat? You think he's got a shot? I don't really I'm not following that.
