Trump is not in control. >> Yes. >> The people that are orchestrating the tempo and the timeline of events are Israel. >> He has surrounded himself with [music] religious fanatics. They believe that this war will usher in the end times. Do you think [music] America should have a dictator? You need a dictator now because the system is so fundamentally broken. >> Totally agree. We're stuck. >> Who wields the most power? The answer is secret societies. The Freemasons, [music] the Jesuits, and the classic example is the Roth Shaw family. Do you think Masons have any influence? >> I don't believe in the secret society thing. I don't believe in the Mason or Jesuit conspiracy or the Illuminati. The Rothschilds, what you kind of left out there is it's a Jewish family. >> They're also separating Francis. >> What's the evidence for this? >> I don't have the evidence at the top of my head. >> It's not real. >> It's called Wikipedia. >> What do you think Nick misunderstands about Israel's influence on the world? >> Let's just give the Infinity Gauntlet to Nick. Okay, you're now Thanos and with a snap of your finger, I will eliminate this group and then all the world's problems will be solved. Which group would you pick? >> Uh, correct. >> Nick Fuentes and Professors Young. Welcome to the Jack Neil podcast. So, Nick, would you care to introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about your background briefly? >> Sure. Yeah. I'm Nick Fuentes. I do a show called America First and I've been doing it for about 10 years independently and that's what I do. >> Cool. And professor. >> Yeah. So, first of all, Nick, it's great to meet you for the first time and uh I really appreciate you coming all this way for this conversation. Um, as you know, I was planning to fly to Chicago, but because of certain issues at the border, um, so I really appreciate you coming all this way. My my gratitude and my appreciation. So, my name is Professor Tang. That is my internet moniker. I'm not actually a professor. Um but I have a YouTube channel called predict predictive history and my mission my purpose is try to analyze history and current events in a way that allows me to draw certain principles which will allow me to predict the future and my goal is to uh promote this as a new economic discipline so as to raise human consciousness. Yeah, I'll uh get into what you both have said about each other's backgrounds later in the interview, but I think a good place to start here is you both agreed or stated that America has already lost the Iran war, but Nick, you've said the war was started because of corruption and Trump lost because he's simply stupid. So the first question here is why do you think Trump launched a war on Iran and do you think America lost the Iran war? >> I think he started this war not for geopolitical reasons but for esquetological reasons. Um and my argument is that he has surrounded himself with religious fanatics. People like people like Peter Hex. They believe that this war in the Middle East will usher in the end times. And I make this statement because if I just analyze this war from a game theory perspective, it is very hard for me to um find a logical reason why they start this war. And this something that Nick and I can discuss. Um but I believe this war is a religious esquetological messianic war. And Nick, why do you think Trump started this Iran war? >> Well, I agree that there's an esqueological dimension to it. obviously because it involves the greater Israel project and it involves the temple and it involves Iran's encirclement of Israel on every side of its borders with Hezbollah, Hamas, the PMF in Iraq and so on. But I really believe you could trace it to uh precipitating geopolitical reasons which I don't think you would even disagree with that it started with a series of events that began when Trump pulled us out of the nuclear deal in 2018. Trump withdrew us from the JCPOA. Uh by 2020, Iran stopped adhering to its commitments under the nuclear deal, enriching without limitations, making a highlyenriched uranium stockpile. It was when Joe Biden then got elected in 2020 and took office in 21 immediately began to reconstitute the Iranian nuclear deal. And then with the help of China in 23, they tried to do a reproachment between Iran and Saudi Arabia. These were some of the factors, I think, why one, Hamas attacked Israel, and then why Israel used that as a pretext to declare war, not just on Hamas, but on all of Iran's proxies, including Hezbollah, the Assad regime, the Houthi rebels, the PMF in Iraq. And that basically started this inexraable process where, to your point, they then got Trump elected. It was American jewelry. Israel move to get Trump in office because they knew he was going to take us to war against Iran and it would fulfill the larger project of making Israel the dominant regional power and that guarantees their ability then to annex the West Bank uh Gaza and then destroy the Alaka mosque and rebuild the third temple. I think that's certainly a part of it. >> And do you have any disagreements with what he just said? >> No, I mean I think he gave a very clear timeline. What I would argue is there had to be a reason why Trump withdrew the United States from the GCPOA, which is um commonly referred to as the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. Um and the idea was that over time the United States would lift sanctions on Iran as long as Iran agreed to abide by uh international inspections of its nuclear program. So Iran could use nuclear uh enrichment for its civilian nuclear program but it could not use it for uh to develop nuclear weapons. Also we have we have to remember at this time theat the supreme religious leader had a fatwa which strictly prohibited uh using uh uranium enrichment for nuclear nuclear weapon development as well as to use nuclear weapons in a war. So there were a lot of um constraints against Iran developing nuclear weapon and by tearing apart a GCP CPA OA or by Trump unilaterally withdrawing from the GCPOA it basically incentivized Iran to pursue nuclear uh or uranium enrangement. So that's what the GCPOA is. Okay. So but it was not just the GCPOA that was that was the first step. Then what happened was uh Trump moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem which was extremely provocative not just um to the Palestinians but basically to the entire Arab world. Uh there was a consensus that uh Jerusalem would um would be a neutral um territory because of its religious significance to all Abrahamic religions. Then you had Trump recognizing Israel's control over the Golden Heights from Israel. You also had the Abraham Accords. Uh and then of course on January 3rd, 2020, Trump ordered the assassination of General Kasam Salmani, which was the most provocative act because he was a de facto ambassador of Iran in the Middle East. And for uh the longest time, he was actually working very closely with Americans to contain ISIS in that uh area. So the question then is we both agree there is this timeline of events but where we might disagree is what is motivating Trump in in the in these events. And so what I would argue is >> that um somehow Trump in his head became influenced by Zionism in America. And when I mean Zionism I include both um the issue lobby as well as Christian Zionists. So people like John of Christians United for Israel >> is following their plan to create as much chaos as possible in the Middle East in order to create the great project and then ultimately to um provoke the war of Gawk and Mog and unless you understand it that way it's very hard to explain his actions. So that's what what my argument would be. >> I would just disagree that Trump is doing it for those reasons. I think that people around him, including the state of Israel, have created the conditions where there are fewer options for Trump other than the ones that would end in that situation. So, for example, because you're right, and a lot of people don't know this, it was Trump that promised in 16 to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And people at that time, at least from the Trump movement of which I was a part of, they said, "Well, that's really no big deal." They said, "We're going to give the Zionist lobby a small concession, which is this embassy. In exchange, Aden's going to give them $100 million in 1618 in 2020." So people said moving an embassy, what's really the big deal? This is just a quid proquo. But the precipitating event behind October 7th, what was October 7th called? It was Al Axa flood after the Al Axa mosque. This is when Hamas invades from Gaza and it was a direct response to provocative Jewish actions on the Temple Mount where they were on the steps doing sacrifices and other things specifically to incite Muslims to attack them. So the so much of Trump's recognition of Israel's sovereignty is again it wasn't just moving the embassy it was recognizing Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel that created the conditions for a major clash between Palestinians and Israelis. And I think that that's a good example of how clearly the Zionist lobby understood the significance of moving moving the embassy. They understood the religious esqueological dimension of what does that mean when we move the embassy to Jerusalem. It means Israel controls the capital which means then they're going to take the West Bank which means then they're going to take uh the Alexa mosque down and build the temple. I think Trump ideologically is not there. I think for him it's more transactional. And so for him I it's more like how I described it that he looks at someone like Dantis who was a representative at that time in 18 Dantis was one of the biggest proponents of moving the embassy pressuring Trump to move it and I think Trump kind of looked at that like all right I'll let him have the embassy if that's what gets the Zionists on board for the midterms and re-election. So that that would only be maybe a slight disagreement there about Trump's motivations in particular. Can you break down exactly what you believe Trump's motivations to be for the war are then? >> Well, the thing about the war is that, and I try to unpack this on my show all the time, you have to talk about the strategic imperatives of every state. Israel's strategic imperative is the threat on the periphery, which is the northern border, Hezbollah, funded and supplied by Iran through Syria. And that's been that way since 96 in the clean break memo. It's securing the northern border. and they say we got to take down Iraq, take down Syria, then go for the head of the snake, Iran. Only then can we cut off Hezbollah and control our immediate surroundings. And what you understand is that for Israel to control its immediate periphery, they have to destroy Iran, specifically its regime. They need regime change in particular. So Iran must respond to this. They see that Israel and the United States have been doing this to other states. They did it to Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Gaddafi and Libya, Assad in Syria. And so Iran knows regime survival is now their imperative. If the US and Israel is destroying every government, then the Ayatollah says, "I'm next. How do I deter an attack from the US and Israel and ensure my survival? Only way [snorts] to do that is a nuclear weapon." So then, but if they race towards a bomb, that will invite US aggression because the US has a non-prololiferation policy. So Iran has to go in the middle. They called the threshold status. We'll be more closer to a nuclear bomb than maybe Saddam was, but not actually have an arsenal, which would trigger an attack from the US. But that Iran has an arsenal that actually brings the United States into the picture. The US is not married to the idea of regime change. That's not a vital strategic interest for the United States. But non-prololiferation is because the United States as global hegeimon is unchallenged by middle powers like Iran. Iran can never win a war against the United States, invade the United States, strategically defeat the United States. But if they had a nuclear bomb theoretically, and then they miniaturaturized it and put it on an ICBM, then that could threaten the US and destabilize the whole order. >> So, so to put it simply, Israel wants Iran gone, so Iran gets a nuke. Iran getting a nuke means the United States has to make sure they don't have one. And this is what brings the United States in to either make a deal like Obama did or Trump comes in to mow the grass and suppress this capability by bombing the nuclear complex and the missile program. >> Right. So I guess what's Trump's goal though specifically? Like what is is he just trying to survive this thing? >> I think that Trump is that's that's sort of the thing and I think I agree with you on this. Trump is not in control. >> Yes. The people that are orchestrating the tempo and the timeline of events are Israel. They are initiating and Trump is reacting to the situation. So for Trump, I think he's got domestic concerns, international concerns. He sees the Iran thing flare up. He wants Iran to be further from a nuclear breakout. Meaning, you know, cuz people confuse this like Iran has the schematics, the knowhow, the blueprints to make a nuclear centrifuge and a bomb. It's just a question of what's the timeline between deciding to make one and having one. And Trump wants to make that timeline as long as possible, kicking the can down the road. Uh but he's being drawn further and further in by Israel. I think that's really the program. >> Yeah. So I would agree. Um so let me talk about two things. Okay. And uh I think both points will just butcher your argument which is that Israel is really the one that's pushing the agenda and Trump is because he's transactional right uh he is not actually in strategic control of the situation. So the first idea is uh Nick is completely right United States is committed to non-prololiferation in the Middle East. So if Iran were to develop a nuclear weapon then the United States has to intervene. Um, but so if we just take that as a premise, then what we appreciate is a lot a lot of Trump's actions don't actually make any sense because if you are committed to Iran not getting a nuclear weapon, first of all, first of all, you would not withdraw from the JACPOA because even if Iran was not um, you know, sincere or genuine in in in in following the GP GCP OA, there was an international mandate in place. you could fool the United Nations uh apply pressure on Iran. >> Uh and that would give the United States more legitimacy, right? So that's the first thing Trump should not have done. Withdraw from the GC uh PA. That's the first thing. >> Second thing is you would not have assassinated on the first of the war the Adatollah Kame because he has been consistent in all his decades of power. Iran will not never develop a nuclear weapon. Um and so when you kill the alatollah k you're almost uh incentivizing a new leader his son to um negate the previous fatwa and allow uh for the development of nuclear weapon. Okay. That's something you would not do. You would not assassinate the alatollah. Right. Um and the the third thing you would not do of course is you would not unilaterally and for no reason attack Iran. Right. So it's not just assassinating the Aatollah but there were six weeks of continuous bombing of the country and Trump consistently said that they were intent on regime change. Right? So it's almost like you're trying to provoke as much as possible Iran into getting a nuclear weapon. So that's the first point I would make. Okay. So I think there are three major pillars to the clean memo. The first is to establish Israel as a regional regional hedgeimon in the middle east uh through balance of power. Uh the second is to um have a clean break from the arsal peace process. Like let's not negotiate with the Palestinians because they're animals, right? They're they're subhuman. They only understand force, right? If a dog is mis misbehaving, you beat the crap out of this dog. So, uh, let's show that we're stronger than, uh, the Palestinians. But the third thing which is really interesting is the clean break memo also calls for decreasing Israeli dependence on the United States, >> right? So, the clean break is just like, let's just turn away from the current world order. And then you ask yourself, this is really odd because in the mid '9s, basically every policy maker in the world agreed that neoliberalism is a solution, the Washington consensus. So why would you Israel decide to turn away from neoliberalism? And the answer, if you think about it, the only answer is because of um me messianic Judaism, because of Zionism, because they believe that Israel is destined um to achieve the greater Israel project and uh and and then usher in the end times when the Messiah will come and then God will come and there'll be peace on earth forever. That's the only way to appreciate the clean break memo because it's such a radical departure from orthodox thinking at that time. I'm not sure if you agree with my analysis. >> I yeah, I do agree with that. I would say I mean clean break, you're 100% correct. It means a clean break from the policy of land for peace, which is what they had been doing with Egypt and Jordan. In 79, they had Camp David Accords with Jimmy Carter. And in order to make peace with Egypt, which was Israel's permanent enemy from 48 until 79, they had to give up the Sinai Peninsula. They had to give up control over Gaza. They were talking about doing the same thing with Syria by giving up the Golan. And then ultimately they want to make peace with all the Arabs by giving land to the Palestinians going back to the pre67 borders giving Palestine a state. And the Lyud party which became ascendant in the 70s of which Netanyahu is a part of basically said 79 Camp David was a disaster. They said Israel is such a small country. That's the one thing we don't have enough of is land. land which has resources, land which can be um utilized by the population. They said so instead we need to break from this policy. Instead of trading away the Golan, the West Bank Gaza, they said we actually have to just confront and destroy all our enemies in a systematic way. That was actually prefigured by Od Yanan's plan for the 1980s. He wrote the grand strategy for Israel and it goes even deeper than clean break where they said what we effectively have to do is rip apart all the powerful Arab or Muslim countries with sectarian and other divisions. So they said we're going to go into Iraq and make it three countries Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite and we'll go into Egypt and it'll make it a Coptic Christian country and an Arab Muslim country and go into Syria divide it between the Alawites, the Sunnis, the Kurds and the Drews. And they said what will be left is a mosaic of tribes with flags, small stateletits, tiny states that are not big enough to challenge Israel. And to your point, that makes Israel a regional hegeimon. That means they can take everything west of the Jordan River, take everything south of the Latani River in Lebanon, have these natural defensible borders, larger territory. They don't have this like Palestinian state in the middle of their country. And what that fundamentally allows them to do is one project power in the region, but two to your point that gives them maneuverability to go after the mosque. That's really what they fear is if Iran and all these other powerful Muslim countries are standing, then there would probably be a war with Israel, might still be when Israel goes and topples the Alaka mosque. But this is where I would say it's almost hard to discern where one argument ends and the other begins in the sense that [snorts] for Israel to destroy the mosque, build the third temple, bring on the end times, they need full control over the periphery, they need to be a regional hegeimon. That also is just a natural foreign policy that states pursue, I think, is to try to maximize their power. This is a realist perspective and you could say it's aggressive or expansionist. But this is what Putin is doing in Ukraine. It's what China aims to do in Taiwan, which is a power is going to try to ascend the ladder and become the dominant force in his region. So Nick, would you say uh the Greater Israel Project is based in pragmatic reasons and the esquetology is the fuel to get people rallied around it? Hey, really quick. Did you know that Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time, thinks buying gold is a silly investment? Now, clearly a lot of people disagree considering gold is at all-time highs this year. But whether you think Warren Buffett's right or wrong, today's sponsor, Koshi, lets you take a side on gold without having to invest in it yourself. Koshi is a CFTC regulated US exchange where you can trade on realworld events from your phone. things like sports, politics, crypto, the economy, newsworthy events, etc. And they've just launched their new gold and silver perks, which lets you take a position on whether you think gold or silver is going to go up or down without having to buy or store them yourself. There's no expiration date. You don't need VPNs. You can fund your account with cash or crypto 24/7, and it has some of the lowest fees on the market. See, earlier this year, gold ran past $5,000 an ounce. And with everything going on in the economy, it's the market I'm personally the most interested in right now. Now, always keep in mind that Koshi lets you multiply your position, which makes your wins bigger, but your losses bigger, too. So, if you want to check it out, use my link in the description and pin comment. Trade $50 and get $25 using my link. But anyway, guys, back to the podcast. Nick, would you say uh the Greater Israel Project is based in pragmatic reasons and the esquetology is the fuel to get people rallied around it? That's really the central question I think is, you know, is the greater Israel messianic vision the rationalization for a real politique strategy to expand the borders or are they expanding the borders to realize the messianic vision? And I think that both can be true in the sense that Netanyahu I don't think is a messianic person. You know, his he doesn't have a great relationship with Habad Lubovich. I don't you know he has religious people in the coalition. I think he's more driven by grand strategy. I think though, however, there are people that are empowering him like Smootrich and Ben Gvere who are religious fanatics in his government. They wear armbands and they speak in front of lecterns that have the greater Israel map. They are messianic Jews who who well not strictly speaking Messianic Jews like believe in Jesus but they believe in that messianic prophecy of building the temple ending the world. So uh so I think both motivate different people in Israel. >> Right. Sorry I have to interrupt because um Nick made a statement that we we need to um clarify. You said that Netanyahu does not have a great relationship with Habal Lubich. >> Yes. Um I from all my research I think Nanyahu was um basically um is almost like a um tool of Habat Luich in order to achieve their meic prophecy. >> Um and I I'll go over what what what I've learned. >> Okay. Sure. Um um first of all there's a very strong connection um between Nanyahu the Trump family in the Kusha family right so Fred Trump and Ben Benjamin Natanyahu were good friends >> and the reason why was in the 1980s Nanyahu was Israel's ambassador to United Nations >> so he was in New York and then Fred Trump of course was a very prominent real estate developer in New York City um the Hushan and Nyahu are are very close. Nyah himself said him himself said that when he ever comes to United States, he often stays with the Kushers. >> Uh in fact uh Jared Kushner said that uh now and then he will uh give his bedroom to Nanyahu and he'll go sleep in the basement. Okay. So uh that's my first um thing thing I've discovered. There's a really close relationship between the Trump family, Nanyahu and the Kusher family. So, so the idea that Jared Ker and Trump just met randomly and then got married, I I don't think holds water. I think they probably knew each other since they were were little. The other thing is um Nanyahu was almost nurtured and mentored by Rebeersonen who was the leader of the lit movement for a long time. So, there are videos on YouTube where um Benim Nyahu just got elected to the Knesset and he goes to the Rebe and and says, "Will you please support me? Will you please bless me?" And the Reb says, "Sure." Um and then there's another video a year later where Na Yahoo goes to uh the Rebe um and the Rebe just basically says to him, "Um, when is Messiah coming?" and Ayahu says uh he's coming and then we're working on it and Rabers is like well we have to hasten the process right so this is the leader of Habat Luvich >> directing Nanyahu who has pluggs to hasten the coming of the Messiah. Uh you will also find on YouTube a video of uh Sheldon Aen and Miriam Aden before their wedding going to the Red Bay asking for his blessing for their marriage. >> And so this is who the ads by the way. >> The ads are the main financial backers of both Donald Trump and Benjamin Nanyahu. Is that is that a fair state? No. Absolutely. Yeah. >> Right. So, uh, Shan Alen was the, um, major financial backer for Trump's 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and >> and they're Zionist, >> right? >> Well, they're very Zionist. Yes. Yes. And Shayon Ellison was also very prominent backer of Benjamin Netanyahu because Shannon Ellison is American. He could not actually um financially support Netanyahu. But Shayon Ellison did spend a lot of money to buy up a lot of um prominent Israeli media and this and this media that these this media was very supportive of Nanyahu. So I see all these connections. So I I don't understand why Nanyahu um and Habich are not aligned. >> I mean they have met obviously Netanyahu and Rebby Schneersen because they're in the Jewish community. you know, Netanyahu is the prime minister of Israel and so on. But if you actually know about Habad Lubavage, they say they don't actually fully support the project of Israel. They believe that what precipitates the Messiah coming is not even necessarily the Jews resettling the land automatically or even claiming a country called Israel. They say it's the conversion of the Jews back to the religion, back to the law. They say that what precipitates the Messiah is the Jews coming back to Torah. And one of the reasons actually originally Habad Lubovich was against Israel is because Israel is like a civic nationalist state that says we're based on like Jewish ethnicity and Jewish race and Habad Lubovich said it should be based on Torah. It should be based on the law and on the book and on the religions. That's why I say it's a little bit contentious as far as Trump is concerned. I know that you you have maybe more of um like a fatalistic view of it that Trump was designated to be like a Cyrus the Great type figure in the Jewish esquetology. He was going to be like a messiah for the Jews. I think a counter example against this is that he was not the favorite of the Zionist lobby when he ran in 2015. Initially Miriam Mlesson backed Rubio. M they wanted Ted Cruz and even after Trump won the nomination and then won the election in 16 when he lost power in 2020 the Jewish lobby moved against Trump and they actually wanted Dantis to be the guy. Dantis announced his run in May 23 and just before that he traveled to Israel to meet with Mary Madson all the big Jewish donors. He announced with David Saxs and Elon Musk on Twitter who were fully behind him. uh and he was really the pro-Israel choice for the Republican primary for the 2024 election. And then when Dantis had his failure to launch, it became clear by the summer he wasn't going to work out. Then they all moved behind Nikki Haley in 2024 and they wanted her in October 23, I would say roughly to about March 24, the Zionists placed their hopes on her to win. And it was only after she went to Israel on behalf of Miriam Madson and endorsed Trump that Trump got the blessing to get the $und00 million check for Miriam Madson. So in other words, he was their last choice. Even in 24 all the way after he ripped up the nuclear deal, after he moved the embassy, after he killed Kasamsulammani, gave Israel to Golan, they still did not like him more than they like Dantis and Haley. So that that would be my counterargument. >> Right. Okay. Um so uh let me first respond to how about lubage their um ideology. So you're absolutely right in that the end goal is for all Jews to convert back to the religion >> and to repent and then this would actually usher in the end of the world according to the cabala. So the um the habit movement are Jews and the basis for um a lot of the ideology is the cabal interpret the interpretation of the intention of God. >> And so um what what what they believe is that the world is the way it is because the Jews have turned away from God and this is the breaking of the world. So to repair the world what must happen is all the Jews because the Jews have the divine spark of God and uh the Jews must come together and then these divine sparks divine sparks of light will then unify together. Um and this process happens when Jews repent. Okay. And the example is the story of King David. So, King David sinned by uh marrying Bashibba and killing her husband Uriah the Hitite. But um God punished um David by killing his firstborn with Bashibba. And this caused David to fall into tremendous grief and beg for um forgiveness and to repent. And what this did ultimately was solidify the relationship between King David and Yahweh and God because remember in the Bible, King David is a favorite of God like more than anyone else more so than even um uh Moses. So that is what Kabat Luvich wants to do to force all Jews around the world to return to Israel and then to repent. And then then the question then is how do you do politically achieve this? >> Well, you do three things, right? First of all, you achieve the greater Israel project because the greater Israel project is a covenant between um um Yahweh and Abraham. Uh so they have to fulfill that. That's the first thing, the greater Israel project. The second thing is you need um all Jews to return to Israel. The entire diaspora has to converge on Israel. And how do you do that? Through anti-semitism. Through conflict uh around the world that forces Jews to return to Israel to seek for to seek safety and protection from God. Okay. The second thing and the third thing and Nick refers to this a lot is the building of the third temple because that's where God lives, right? Right. So the idea is um and and Judaism is is different from other religions and people don't appreciate why so don't appreciate the subtle difference but Judaism it's a worldly religion meaning like if you look at Hinduism and Christianity and Islam it's about um when you die you go to heaven right for the Jews it's about bringing God to earth right so >> you're saying they don't believe in heaven >> um I actually don't know if they believe in heaven but like like for them the end of the world is when God comes to Israel and lives amongst the Jews and the third temple is meant to be his home. Right? So you're right in that Habat Lubich has this esquetology in place. But if you look at what they have to achieve in order to obtain this esquetology, then it's unfolding before our eyes, right? We are seeing the greater Israel project being implemented throughout the Middle East. Mhm. >> Uh we are seeing the rise of anti-semitism throughout the world >> and we are also seeing um the growing conflict between uh messianic Jews and um Muslims in the on the temple mount uh which may eventually lead to uh the destruction of the alexic mosque in the building of the third temple. So all this is tracking and and I would argue that it's because Nanyahu is following very much the Habad Lubich blueprint for global Jewish redemption. >> Yeah, I guess I just disagree. I think that to say Israel is the Habad Lubovich project to bring about the end times and Netanyahu is an agent of this. But I just think it's an oversimplification because again, Habad has not always even been in favor of the modern state of Israel even existing. It's much more controversial, I think, than you're making it seem. >> Jean, what event can you not explain without that position? Does that make sense? >> Yeah. Well, you can't explain the mosque. Um, you know, so, so I think what both Nick and I think is going to happen eventually is the Isaac Mosque will be destroyed. >> And where's that at? And that's where the uh Jewish people believe is the third temple in Jerusalem. There's something called a temple mount. And the temple mount is where they built the first temple uh the Solomon's temple. And they built it as the house of God. Uh because um the idea again is like um God wants to live with his people. Like God doesn't want us to go to heaven to be with him. God wants us to build a world in which he can come and and live with us. And um so that's called Solomon's temple. Solomon's temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and um I can't remember the exact year but it's around 600 B uh 600 B.CE. uh and then Sus the great um conquer the Babylonians and then return the uh Israelite exiles to the land uh and sponsor the building of the second temple but then the Romans destroy the second temple and um the third temple has never been been built and it is the mission of these messianic Jews to build the third temple because that is the end of their uh esquetology. So um if you look at the temple mount where the temple used to be it's divided into two parts. The first part is the alias uh which is considered the third holiest site in the Islamic world. That is where Muhammad ascended to heaven. >> And then you have something called the dome of the rock. The dome of the rock is uh where the foundation stone is. Um and the foundation stone for the um for the temple. Um so so what Nick and I believe is there will be a religious uh fanatical minority who wants to destroy the dome of the rock and the moss to build a third temple. If that were to happen then this would ignite a religious war the world has never seen before. Would you agree with that statement? >> I think so. Yeah. because then all uh Islamic people or Muslims would be uh religiously committed to destroying Israel and uh restoring the Alex mosque. >> Right. So you're saying that the main event that uh only makes sense with esquetologies has had to do with the temple and then I asked you to clarify the Alaka thing. What were you saying there? I >> I want to ask Nick this question. >> Um have you had a chance to walk on Manhattan yet? >> Yeah. Oh yeah. on on a lot of street corners there is a poster. >> Yes. >> The Messiah is coming. Rebear the Messiah is coming. >> How do you interpret that? >> Well, a lot of people believe he's the Messiah. A lot of Jews because he's the seventh dynastic leader of the Habadich. They say yes. >> Yes. Yes. >> But you know, so there's no disagreement that Habad Lubovich wants the Messiah to come and they're willing it into being. But I'm just saying that the idea that Netanyahu is a part of a conspiracy with Habad Lubovich to bring about this messianic vision, I think it coincides with Israel's geopolitical interest, which is to destroy Iran. And that that's what I said really is that it's hard to know where one begins and the other one ends because to achieve the messianic prophecy, Israel needs to achieve its geopolitical goals. >> And so, but states always pursue their geopolitical objectives. So the geopolitical goals have to be met before they destroy Al Axa and build a third >> temple for you know what clean break and the plan for the 1980s is all about is securing the realm. That's actually what clean break is called the securing the realm securing the northern border. And they say that in order for Israel to be safe we got to get rid of Hezbollah. How do we get rid of Hezbollah? We got to get rid of Saddam who's a ba'ist. We who launched missiles at Israel. We got to go after Assad through which Hezbollah is furnished with support from Iran. And then we have to go after Iran, which is inciting this revolutionary Shiite movement across the Middle East. And only then can Israel be a regional hegeimon when they're not encircled by Hezbollah, Assad, Saddam Hussein, Iran, the Houthis, uh, which was a later development. And so for Israel to eradicate all of its enemies is also just national security policy. >> But but then how does destroying the Isaac Mos strengthen Israel's national national security? >> Well, I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that clear, you know, doing those things might allow Israel to do that in the future, but that's not something Netanyahu has pledged to do, >> right? But I'm saying like would we agree right now that there seems to be like an alliance of sorts >> and Hab is very much part of this alliance. So you have um people like Nanyahu who may not be religious uh but there are geopolitical opportunists >> and they want to strengthen uh Israel's national security >> but also with this alliance you have a lubage >> and they really believe this is the end times again if you walk around Manhattan you like look at these street corners like this guy Rebers is everywhere and and there's a vocal minority who believe this guy is Messiah and when the when the end times come, he will reincarnate as the Jewish Messiah and he will usher in the end of the world. And Habalich um just so that people appreciate this is a very powerful group of people because not only only do they have access to Trump, they also have access to Zalinski. They also had access they also have access to um Vladimir Putin. Hav Malay is also part of this movement. So uh when Hav J Havier Malay first became president of Argentina, his first foreign visit as a head of state was to the grave of Reberson uh which is located in Queens, New York. And also the grave of Reberson is the most heavily uh visited Jewish holy site outside of Israel. >> Really? >> Yeah. So um I um I think Habaluage uh fact is a major factor in geopolitics because I think they're much more influential than people will appreciate. >> I agree they're more influential. I just I think you're maybe overstating the case that they're driving all these events because you're right. I mean they are the nexus between Russia, the US, Israel. There is a uh there is a nexus point represented there. But you know another one of their prophecies for example they think that Jews have to get to every corner of the globe before the end times can come is one of the >> I actually didn't know that. Yeah. Could could you explain that >> they believe that Jews have to be in every part of the world. There has to be Jewish settlements in every literally every country in every part of the world before the end times can happen. That's one of the things that has to happen before the prophecy can be fulfilled. >> And and is is that not already happening because Zionism is Yeah. And they are trying to settle everywhere. Argentina, Australia, Cyprus, Greece. >> Um I mean um I mean a friend even told me there are Zionists in Costa Rica and the locals are pissed because they're buying up a lot of land. Um so it seems to me the world is moving in a way that conforms to the esquetology of Habadich. >> Yeah. I think they're just a little more idiosyncratic than that. I think that uh you can't you can't say that every revisionist Zionist or maximalist pro-Israel person is necessarily a tool of Habad Lubovich. They're they're one faction that sits among world jewelry. Uh but I don't think they're driving everything. >> Right. So uh another data point that I will bring up is um ever since the death of Rebes and he died 1994. Okay. There's been a massive outreach program. So, uh, Hab Lubich is responsible for the Birthright Israel program, >> right? Uh, do you know about Birthright Israel? >> Yeah. >> Right. Um, also, uh, Hab Luvich has has um built uh, campus programs around the United States. So, at Harvard, there's something called Harvard Habad. The faculty advisor to Harvard Habad is Alan Duritz. And the three most prominent members of Harvard Habad are Jared Kushner, Natalie Portman, and uh Mark. Then at Yale Law School, they also built a chapter called Saptai Society. Um [snorts] and Corey Booker um was one of the founders of Y Septai Society and their members include um Vivic Ramaswami, Albridge Kobe who is now number two at the Pentagon uh behind Hexf. Um you also have Michael Nolles. Um these are very powerful people. So I mean and they're all affiliated in some way with Havalich. >> I just think it's a logical error. It's like when people used to say the World Economic Forum was controlling everything. And you say what is the World Economic Forum? It's a forum for all the world's prominent business and political leaders that then meet in Davos. And so would you say the seed of the power is in the forum is in the actual the Claus Schwabr run super national group or would you say the power lies in the individuals that then coales like so for example you know many of the people you mentioned I don't know that they are like lurionic cobalists I don't think that Mar necessarily subscribes to that your point about Habad Lubovich one of the primary activities they do is just educating Jews about their own religion and because they take that role that just happens to be the forum where Jews get together and fraternize and organize and socialize. I don't think it necessarily means there really the answer is it's world jewelry. That's the term that I prefer cuz Lubovich is only just one dynasty among others within the hidic faction. >> Absolutely. Yes. Um you're absolutely right. So how about Lubich only has about 100,000 members uh around the world. Okay. That's not that many people. And uh Nick is right in that Judaism there are lots of family dynasties. the S dynasty is one um um dynasty. Um but at the same time, what I will say is of all these um different Jewish groups and there's lots of them, okay? Uh and there's lots of disagreements and often they really hate each other. [snorts] Um the habit people are often the most messianic, the most fanatical. Would you agree? >> Yeah, I agree with that. M >> so there are three things that they do that have allowed them to basically grow at an exponential scale these past few decades. Um the first thing that they do is they pull their resources. Uh meaning if if you just take the average Habat Lubich member he's actually pretty poor because he's spending all his time studying Torah. Uh he's not actually going and making money. >> Um but what they do is they pull their resources together. And so if you go to Brooklyn, a lot of real estate in Brooklyn is controlled by Haval Liberage because they've been there since 1945. Um and they've been constantly pulling money and investing in real estate. Um that's number one. Number two is they ostracize themselves from from from um other groups. So they actually refuse to send their kids to public schools. They have their own school school system as as Nink said. um they will not um uh their kids will not play with kids from other groups. Um so they ostracize themselves. And the third thing that they do is um they have a lot of children, >> right? They breed a lot. Um and then the question then is what's the energy that drives them, right? Well, how is it that they're able to live in poverty and have a lot of children and just isolate themselves from the larger American community? And I think it's just their messianic cabalism. Um, and so even though they are in fact minority and they're just a fringe group, they are also extremely energetic. So, so much so that they're willing to trade everything in order to achieve their esquetology. So you're absolutely right in that Nyahu is is he's a politician. All he wants is more power. Jared Kushner is a real estate developer. All he wants is more money. But if a group is coming to you and saying, you know what, we don't want the power. We want the money. We just want you to help us achieve a certain esquetology, just one thing in this grand script of us of ours. >> Well, they'll probably say yes. And they'll probably u be able to achieve through esquetology. It's not just again this is not just Netanyahu it's also Donald Trump it's also Vladimir Putin it's also [snorts] Zilinski Har Malay it's a lot of people who have who are in positions of power and influence >> my counterargument to that would be take somebody like Larry Ellison for example he's one of the richest guys in the world founder of Oracle deep connections with Trump because he donated I think 60 million to his campaign in 24 Larry Ellison's an atheist but he is an ethnic Jew and he is one of the biggest supporters supporters of Israel that exist. The I think uh Jerusalem Post or Times of Israel just did their top 50 most influential Jews list today and Ellison's I think in the top five. He's one of the biggest private donors to the IDF. He got Netanyahu a lawyer to defend him against the corruption charges in Israel. He took over Tik Tok and is putting together this media company with his son and Barry Weiss that's going to take over CBS News and CNN. The reason that he supports Netanyahu and Israel and the IDF and Trump and all this, it's not because he's a messianic kabad Lubovich cabalist. It's because he's a Jew and he sees Israel as the last safe place for Jews. There is this, as you know, and I think you're right about this. Anti-semitism actually plays this like dialectical role in the Jewish prophecy. But somebody like a Netanyahu or somebody like a Larry Ellison, they don't necessarily need to be consciously motivated by a messianic religious disposition to serve it. They have their own practical considerations. And so that's why I just think it's >> So So what do you think Ellison's practical considerations are? Just the only safe place for Jews? Is that really an acceptable answer compared to like a religious esquetology? >> Yes. I think that because he's an atheist, so he doesn't believe in God and I don't think he believes in the end times. I think that he identifies as a Jew and I I think and I think you've made this point. You're 100% right. A lot of Jews in America grow up in this millu of like a kind of chauvinism. There's this idea like we're we just do things a little better. You know, we're a little smarter. We educate our kids. We don't act like the goyam. We don't act like the Gentiles. And this comes from their theology which says that the goyam the gentiles are idoltors and they don't obey the law and so on. Um and so someone like >> I've never said that by the way. >> You haven't said I've never said that. Uh I think you said something about the millu in which they g like you said Markx grew up as an aristocrat in a millu of his ancestors rabbis and that's speaks to the Jewish character of dialectical materialism. You said that >> I I've said that Carl Marx um he has se several generations of rabbis in in his lineage and rabbis are essentially um Jewish aristocrats. Um, so he grew up in a very intellectual tradition and he was probably influenced by the Cabala. Um, but that's the extent of of >> what I'm saying. Yeah. In principle, what I'm saying is you understand the weight of Jewish custom even if an individual doesn't subscribe to it. Like let's say a Larry Ellison, he's an atheist, but the cultural millu he grew up and is informed by 3,000 years of Jewish history and it shapes those attitudes. So why are some of the for example someone like Epstein Epstein says these um kind of like contemptuous remarks about Gentiles he says like are there going to be goyam at this party or something like that Epstein's probably like an atheist but he grows up in a Jewish community going to maybe a Jewish daycare these sorts of things where those attitudes are there because of thousands of years of this insular in-group preference tribalism among this people and anyway so point is with someone like Larry Ellison I think he's a Jewish chauvin I think he's somebody that looks at Israel and there's this identity where he says, "Oh, they're an upstart nation like me. They're entrepreneurial. They're go-getters. They take initiative. There's this ethnic pride." He identifies with Israel as an ethnic Jew. And two, I think all Jews have this alienation, especially the ones that live in the diaspora, from the host country. And so, they do feel like this is not really their home. For them, home is always going to be Israel. And that's why Israel has to be empowered because in the end if anti-semitism gets bad in America or Russia or wherever that's the only place you're going to be safe. So there there's something deep-seated there as well. >> All right. So uh let me respond to this. Um I don't think Larry Ellison first and foremost thinks like a Jewish person. I think he first and foremost thinks like a capitalist, a transnational capitalist. So for him it's just like where do I who do I work with and what do I do in order to generate the um greatest return on investment and he's very supportive of Israel uh because Israeli interests align with his own business interests. So a lot of technology comes from Israel. Uh Israel is one of the uh leaders in um new technological development. uh there's a lot of capital flowing into Israel and out out of Israel. So, and so it's not just Larry Ellison who's aligned with uh Israel. You also have other capitalists like Peter Theo uh who is not a a Jew Jewish person also align with with Israel. So, um just to say that it's just Jews who support Israel, I think is incorrect. I think there are a coalition of interests that see a benefit in supporting Israel including uh technologists um like Larry Ellison and Peter Theo including uh financial interests uh because Israel is a very good place to uh invest. You also have Christian Zionist people like Sean Hannity and John >> who are even probably even more fanatical than most Jews in the United States. So I think it's a very broad coalition. Uh so that's my first point. My second point is within this broad coalition if you just look at history often um how this coalition basically moves is it's driven by a vector and this vector is the most fanatical members of this group. >> So everyone in this coalition is willing to move in this direction because it benefits everyone in this coalition. But where it moves is driven by the most energetic, most fanatical people. And what I'm saying is within this broad coalition, there's a very broad coalition of people. Um, Habad Lubich is the most fanatical. And so, it's really important for us to study their esquetology in order to figure out where Israel might might move. So, I don't I do predictive history. I'm I'm trying to figure out what drives human events, what drives history. Um, so I'm trying to create a framework. In my analysis, in all my research, I think that Habat Louage has a lot more weight. It's much more influential that people give them credit for. And that's my central argument. >> Yeah. I guess my disagreement is I I think you're just overindexing on their influence. And and that's why I say someone like a Larry Ellison or Trump. These are central figures driving the events in Israel and they're not motivated by these mess, you know, whether it's a Jew or a Gentile, they're not motivated by the messianic beliefs. Professor, would you say that shared ethnicity or shared religion in esquetology are more able to help you predict I guess uh how people in power behave. Um so I sort of discount religious identity or uh racial identity in my analysis and the reason why is families are much more likely to fight amongst each like within like so um people who are more similar aligned are much more likely to fight than u people who who are not. So the differences within groups are much greater than differences outside of groups. And that's something that I've learned in life uh by the set of by the set of history. So just to say that you know these Jews are all Jews and therefore they have a similar interest doesn't really hold water because if you actually look at Jews [snorts] they argue all the time. Have you been to Israel? >> No. >> Okay. I've been to Israel. >> I don't want to get killed over. >> No. No. Okay. I I mean I I went to Israel in um 2012 for a week. Um, and the the first thing that you uh realize when you get to Israel is Israelis argue all the time. They have no reason to argue and they will argue. Like you go to a store, a coffee house, and he's like, "I want to buy a cappuccino." And the guy will be like, "Why do you want to buy a cappuccino?" Like, "Oo, is that good enough for you?" It's the silliest thing in in the world. And like if you just look at the political system, it is the most dysfunctional political system in the whole world. I mean um it's amazing that you're able to to cobble together a government because you have like a whole range of political parties and these political parties just fights fight amongst themselves. um you know there's a civil war brewing brewing right now uh in Israel and in fact if Hamas did not actually launch their flood if October 7 did not happen then there might have been a civil war in Israel right so so that event basically saved Nanyahu from a political calamity so um I don't think that it's you can just say it's just the Jews or um or or or any just one group because again the differences in conflicts within groups is so much greater than the conflicts outside of groups and between groups. >> Do you agree with that segment? >> I think that's maybe our biggest disagreement is I think that um and and maybe let me get some clarity on this because you say so >> the project of greater Israel is being driven by the let's say the most spirited or energetic group which is Habad Lubovich and they're motiv by messianism and you say their messianism comes from their interpretation of Cabala. Now, do you believe that Cabala is a fundamentally Jewish phenomenon or do you think it's more gnostic or esoteric? >> Okay. So, so let me clarify what I mean. Okay. So, all that's happening in the Middle East cannot be driven by one person or one group. >> There has to be a broad coalition of of interests. >> So, greater Israel benefits a broad coalition of interests. Um, it benefits capitalists, financiers, it benefits uh technologists, it benefits um Christian Zionism, it benefits a American interests, it benefits a lot of people. >> Um so um a lot of these things are happening because there's a broad coalition in in in place. But within this broad coalition, you also need uh people to push events along, >> right? And when they push events along, then other people can sit back and and benefit. So Habat Luvich is the one pushing events along, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're in charge. It also does not mean they will get their way because it's entirely possible that the other groups at the end at maybe get together and says these guys are crazy so let's just like you know um betray them or or you know change direction like let's not blow up the eyes like a moss >> right >> right let's not do that cuz that's just it benefits no one right >> right so I think the the mosque is the big lmus test as to like who's really in control if they blow up the Alex mosque we can both agree that these religious fanatics are in charge Yes, totally. >> Um, and if they don't blow up the mosque and they just achieve the greater Israel project, then that then that aligns with a lot of geopolitical um geopolitical interests. So, so that's my that that's that's why I believe. >> Okay. But in terms of Cabala, do you think Cabala is because it's based on the Tanya, at least in Habad Lubovich, which is not the Torah. It's not the written or oral Torah. It's a mystical book. Do you believe that Cabala is Jewish? Or do you what do you think is a relation between Judaism and Cababala? [gasps] >> Okay. So here you and I will disagree. All right. But I believe that what happened um is like throughout humanity there has always been a mystical tradition with all within all major religions. So within Christianity there's Nazism within Islam there's suism. Um, and the idea, um, is most people just see the material world, but these occultists, these mystics appreciate that the world is pure energy and pure consciousness. And um, I don't I I don't get too esoteric, but they believe that um, God is part of us and we're part of God. Okay. So, and the Cabala, what's what the Cabala is doing is trying to bring this mystical tradition into the um Jewish tradition because what separates the Jewish tradition from previous other traditions is they have a Bible. They have a written history of of their relationship with with God. And so, they're trying to use use this mystical understanding of the universe, this hermeticism to explain the stories of the Bible. And and this is what creates the the Cabala. I think the Cabala um is a very convoluted uh philosophy. And I think you it will be impossible to find two uh Jewish cabalas who agree on the meaning of of the Cabala. It is impossible. >> Right. I agree. Because I guess what I'm I'm wondering is if you're placing so much because you said people are underestimating let's say or understating the influence of Habad Lubovich and that's a cobalistic movement then you're saying it's sort of like an esoteric splinter within the Jewish community that is really exttrinsic to Judaism driving this right if you think it's not Jewish in character >> there are a lot of Jews out there who think the Habad Lewis movement is heresy >> okay and you could also make the argument It's not hocic. It's not based on >> because most Jews in the world uh who are religious believe that you cannot force the hand of God. That is heresy. That is pure evil. They [snorts] think that Habalat is forcing the hand of God. And that's why they're promoting the greater Israel project. That's why they are trying to uh usher in the end times and build the third temple. So Habalich is a very French movement. And I I would also point out that even with Hab Lubich, uh most people don't even know what's going on, right? I mean, most people just go to Habat Lu schools and they learn to be good people and they learn the importance of the Torah and that's it. They don't really appreciate the grand scheme at work. It's only a few people that really um have a sense of of where this movement is is going. And these people were prog. So what's really important for for people to appreciate is Rabies Ner was the seventh and final rebalich. Okay. So in other words they see Rabies Narsen as the messiah who reincarnated at the end of times and so um the kabat it's basically run by committee of rabbis who are students of his and so who are trying to implement this esquetology in order to bring back their the the teacher. And [snorts] um if you look at Habat Louage and again I don't know it that well. I've never really studied them that deeply. You probably know more than I do. But I would say there's also a element of 17 frankism within Habal Liberovich and that's and and 17 frankism for for people who don't know is considered the greatest heresy >> in the Jewish tradition. >> U it's considered the great betrayal or the great heresy. >> Right. What exactly are Frankists? >> Well, what can I just ask one question? Cuz I'm a little bit curious. So, you also believe in the Kazerian hypothesis. Is that right? >> Um, I've discussed it. Yes. >> Then do you believe that's the Do you In other words, do you believe that the Ashkanazi Jews are the same people as the people to book in the Bible? >> Okay. So, I'll tell you what I believe. >> Okay. >> All right. I believe that the Jewish tradition is not consistent. The Israelites were pol polytheistic people. >> Um, and the Jewish tradition started really at the time of Cyrus the Great. >> And if you just like uh compare these traditions, Judaism after the second temple >> and then the first temple, these are two radically different traditions. Okay. So the first the Israelite tradition uh and there's a lot of scholarship on this. It was probably polytheistic with a pantheon of gods. um and it was a much more open and tolerant religion. And in Judaism um because uh of its relationship with the Persian Empire um it became much more closed and and insular. >> Also what we need to recognize is the people in the religion are going to shift over time, right? So what happened was after the Babylonians destroyed the first temple, they took hostage a lot of the um Israelite elite, but most of the Israelites stayed in um the area, the Levant, and basically adapted their religion uh to local practices. And there was a um a synratism process, a syncratic process where religious naturally melted together. Okay? And this is just a natural thing that happens. The example is English, right? If you bring in people who speak different accents of of English, they will eventually merge um and create a a new variant of of of English. >> Um so this is syncretic process and this is a very natural natural thing. The idea that uh the people in Israel today can trace their DNA back to the Israelites, I think it's is absurd. I think the idea that the Bible was consistent for 3,000 years is also absurd. >> So uh now let's get to the Casseran uh hypo hypothesis. And I'm getting most of my understanding um from a book book called the 13th tribe by author Kesler. And in it he argues that what happened around the year 1100 is in the Middle East in the Orient there are there are like three major powers. There's a blessing empire which is Christian. [snorts] Then you have the Islamic caliphate based in Baghdad. But then you have a third center of power called Kazeria which is in modern Ukraine. And what happened was that um Kazeria it was a third son of power. So it didn't want to become Christian or Muslim. It wanted its own identity. Mhm. >> And so um there were a lot of um Jewish traders um in Kazeria and um the elite became interested in Judaism and eventually there was a mass conversion of the elite to Judaism um as a sort of like a new identity um that was different from the Christian and the Islamic tradition. And also they thought that well Judaism is the first religion right and from Judaism you had Christianity and then Islam. So uh they masscon convert to to Judaism. And I think this is historical fact. It makes perfect sense. There's a lot of documentation and author Kesler who by the way is a Jew. >> Yeah. Hungarian Jew. >> Oh and also by the way a Zionist Jew. Okay. Um he was the one who convinced me in his book the fifth 13th tribe all of this argument. And what happened uh was that Kazera was eventually conquered by the Mongols which forced a mass a mass migration of uh Kazerian Jews into Eastern Europe which then merge with Spartic Jews who came in from Spain. Um and so there's a synretism go going on, >> right? I think it's important that you both just define this clearly and such a dumb question, but like Nick, what exactly is a Jew or what exactly is a Jewish person? And then, Professor Jang, what exactly is a Jewish person to you? Well, see that's really the question and that's why I wanted to ask some of these questions about how you regard the Israelis because what it sounds like is you think that Cababalism and Habad Lubovich are informed by the Sabati Zevi Sabatian Frankists which are sort of like gnostic Satanist anti-nomian. They believe in transgressing the law in order to achieve holiness. That's really the basis of it. And you think the Ashkanazi Jews aren't even really Jews. you think they're descended from Turk people uh from Kazeria and and that's really my central disagreement is I think that the Jews are the people of the book. I think that it is the same religion. I think they are the people of the Middle East. And I I think it is fundamentally about Jews. I don't think it's about this mystical other stuff. I think it's about them. And that's why I say somebody like Ellison, maybe this is the source of that disagreement. He is an ethnic Jew. I think he's the same Jew, same ethnicity as the people 2,000 years ago in the Middle East when the second temple was destroyed. And I think that his chauvinistic attitude towards Gentiles, it doesn't come from Sabatis or Jacob Frank. It doesn't come from Kabala. It comes from the Torah because the Torah says idolattors have to die. The Torah says you have to spit when you pass a grave of an idoltor. And they view Christians as idoltors very much like Muslims because the Jews believe that Yahweh is their God. They believe that Yahweh is the only God and the insinuation that there's a trinity of a Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ. They see that Jesus is an idol, as a human idol and that's why they sentence him to death and that's why he was crucified. And so I guess maybe the difference is I I view the clash of civilizations and the tension in history as between Christians and Jews fundamentally Jesus Christ and the Jews. Whereas I think you see it as a little bit more complex and about maybe these mystical traditions which don't have as much to do with the the tribe of the Jews. >> Nick, can you define though like what is a Jew? Is it someone who's ethnically Jewish and religious Jewish? Like >> it's an ethnicity and Judaism is a religion. So a Jew is someone that descends from the tribe of Judah in the Old Testament. And that's why you can find it in a genetic test, you know, and theoretically they say you can convert to Judaism, but Jew, a lot of Jews don't believe that. A lot of Jews only believe you can be Jewish if you're born to a Jewish mother, not even a Jewish father. They say you're not Jewish if you weren't born a Jewish dad. >> And do you think Zionism and Judaism are the same thing? >> Zionism is sort of the logical necessary endpoint of Judaism because what what you have and and to your point, you said Judaism is a worldly religion. Christianity, which is why the Jews rejected Christ, says there's a spiritual kingdom. And so we say on some level, we don't really care what happens in the Holy Land because the kingdom of God is within and Christ brings a spiritual kingdom. Muslims believe anyone can become a Muslim and and they do have the Kaba and they have Mecca and you have to go there into a real place, but they do have more of a universal spiritual religion. Judaism is based in the temple in the land. That is the only way you can practice the religion is God's people in the land that God gave them in the temple where God dwells where God gave them the schematics to build it. This particular lineage was given the responsibility to build it and um so that's what makes it fundamentally different than everybody else. >> Would you agree with his definition? >> I would not I would not at all agree with his definition. So throughout history there have been there have been different terms. Okay. You have the term Hebrew, then you have the term Israelite, then you have the term Jew, um now you have the term Israeli. Okay? And these are all very different terms. Uh Hebrew just refers to aic people um that Abraham who was considered like the grandpatriarch of the Israelite people belong to. The term is Israelite uh refers to um the people um in the kingdom of Israel um under the leadership of King David and they descend from Jacob um who is the um grandson of Abraham. uh Jew was first used, the term Jew was first used um in the second temple period um when the Persians repatriated the exiles, the the Israelite exiles back into the Levant. Um and Israeli is a term we use for people, the citizens of Israel, which was founded in 1948. And these are four um very different terms. And so um if you ask me what is a Jew, I would just say well a Jewish is someone who believes he or she is Jewish. A Jew belongs to a community of of believers. So to understand my point, let me um use a thought experiment. Okay, let's just say for whatever reason um over the next 20 years, most of humanity is wiped out. Our entire civilization has collapsed. a thousand years later, um, humanity is now rebuilding itself and you've got, um, a new society and for whatever reason, they do archae archaeology and they dig up the Bible. Okay? And the Bible talks about Jews and they're like, "Oh, this is interesting. Let's be Jews. Let's call ourselves Jews. Are they Jews?" They're not at all genetically Jews, okay? Because most of humanity has been wiped out. They might even been Chinese. But because they read a book and they like the book and they think that wow um this is a very these are very interesting ideas and they adopt the monarch Jew. Would they be Jewish? And the answer is of course they'd be Jewish because everyone recognizes um them as Jewish. If you call yourself um Jewish then then then others accept that as as a convention. Professor Jeang who actually runs the world and how does power actually work? Okay. Well this is what I think. Okay. I think we live in a unique time in human history. Um, our accomplishments are just amazing. We are able to sit in a room, record our conversation and broadcast it to um, possibly millions of people from all around the world. Um, we can translate our conversation in like many different languages. Uh, to get here, we all came from like three different places. And so the level of our technological sophistication, it is just uh amazing. But um how we got here there is a story. Um it has to do with the idea of money. Okay. So we are really the first civilization and probably will probably be the last civilization to structure our entire lives around the idea of money. >> Right? 1694 is really the beginning of a modern era because that is when the Bank of England is chartered. The Bank of England it is a um really strange idea which is the Bank of England will be will be um controlled by private interest. Okay, if you have money, you can put your money in the Bank of England, but this money will be guaranteed by the people of England. Right? Before uh you're a merchant and you want to grow your money, you had to lend your money to a king to fight his wars. And you know, the the king could die, the king could lose the war, the king could reite on his contract. There was a lot of risk involved. But the novelty of this is if you lend your money to a nation state, then you would always be guaranteed to be paid back as long as the nation state was still standing. And the bank and England was protected by the Royal Navy. It was an island. And so it's basically unconquerable. Okay. So, uh the Bank of England is basically private interests. Okay. Uh that put their money in the bank, but they're guaranteed by Parliament. you're lending money to parliament. And this is important because Bank of England becomes the model for the Federal Reserve, right? So, so Americans don't appreciate this, but the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel. The US government controlled by people have absolutely no power to print money. It's a bank of it's the Federal Reserve that print that prints money. The US government has the right to borrow from the Federal Reserve. Okay? And [snorts] so this eventually leads to to the rise of of an idea called transnational capital. Okay, transnational capital. And now that you have transational capital in place, you need you need a religion in order to um promote this idea. And this religion is called Freemasonry. Okay. What is Freemasonry? Freemasonry believes that God is reason. Right? So God is pure reason. And not only that, but reason and emotion are separate. And this is actually a unique idea in human history because you look at all different um philosophies or religious traditions, spiritual traditions before um the enlightenment, they believe that reason was emotion, the mind was the heart. I and so why did the Freemasons believe that reason and emotion were in conflict? The reason why is for them reason is capital and emotion is prejudice. It is family. It is tradition. So whatever prevents the free flow of capital around the world is fundamentally wrong. Whatever promotes the free flow of capital around the world is good. Okay. So this idea that um reason is what should govern the world and that reason is God becomes the basis for capitalism in the modern world that we live in today. Okay? And it creates all sorts of innovation. So um let me explain what innovation is because people uh don't really appreciate it. But what innovation really is and think about it like like why do we have the internet? Why do we have satellites? Why do we have AI? Because innovation um is driven by um three things. Okay. The first thing is population growth. The second thing is specialization. So an area in an area specializes and the third thing is globalization. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. >> Right. And this is why we have 8 billion people and that's why there's so much free trade because um this is what allows for maximum innovation and this is what allows for uh maximum um economic growth. Okay. So um this is a big story of how money was created accidentally as an idea and how this idea of transnational capital now controls the world. >> Okay. But now that you have this maloo, this new um environment, the question then is okay, of all these different human groups in existence, who wields the most power or who is able to obtain the most power? The answer is secret societies. Okay, why? Because if you are if you are um live in a world of transational capital, you have to solve three problems. Okay, the first problem is information. Second problem is infiltration. The third problem is coordination. What I mean by that is if you're if you're an investor, if you try to play play the stock market, you'll probably get killed. So, you want to rig the stock market. And how do you rig the stock market? Well, you have spies in different bureaucracies feeding you information and then you coordinate with these spies in order to influence events. Okay? And a classic example is um the Roth Shaw family, right? Right. The Rossaw family um sent agents and family members all around Europe and um in the battle of Wateroo 1815 they were the first to hear that Napoleon had been defeated. Okay. So what happened was they had an agent at the battle. The agent saw what happened and then the agent got into Corvette which is a fast ship, sailed across channel and told the Rothschild family, we won the we we won the battle. Okay. But then there were rumors that England had lost to Napoleon which caused a frenzy and and the frosts were able to buy up bonds really cheaply. Okay. And this happens all the time because these secret societies are able to uh infiltrate and they are able to coordinate, >> right? >> Okay. And that's what that's what controls the world. And so these societies include the Freemasons, they also include the Jesuits, they also include um you know Jewish groups. So to say um there are these Jewish singidists and Frankus and they're really in charge that is true to an extent. I think it's just better to say that we live in a world of transational capital. Okay. And and the world is governed by transational capital and secret societies are that are best able to conspire together will uh make more money than than other groups. And that's what's really driving the the uh the world today. Nick, I'm sure you have a lot to say about that, but do you think secret societies run the world in in 60 seconds? How do you see that? How do you see that? >> I was like 20 minutes. >> Um, >> I think yours will be a much simpler explanation. >> 20 minutes. Um, no. I I don't believe in the secret society thing. I don't believe in the Mason or Jesuit conspiracy or the Illuminati. >> Do you think Masons have any influence? >> Not anymore. No. I think at one time they did, but I mean, you look at the Freemason chapters today and it's a bunch of old hillbillies. I mean, that's what it is. I mean, you go to these like mid and small midsize and small towns in America and people's dads are in Freemason lodges and they're doing the rituals and which is all based on King Solomon's temple. But no, I I don't think that has any currency anymore. And you know, the Rothschilds, what you kind of left out there is it's a Jewish family. And the superpower that they had is they trusted each other and they were able to send all their people out to all the different cities in Europe. And it was it was the transnational nature of the Jewish diaspora which is what allowed them to do that to have a representative in every capital loyal to their own tribe not the country they resided in. So >> So you don't believe there's any secret societies that have influence on the world? >> I don't think so. I think that to the extent that there is secrecy, it's intelligence agencies. It's states, it's the Russian state, it's the American state, the British state, the Israeli state. To the extent that there is secrecy, it's the intelligence agencies. How the rest of the power is structured, I think, is the nation states. I mean, I I really believe it's it's the sort of AAM's razor who is able to command large amounts of people to kill and be killed and marshall capital and direct long-term projects. It's governments. It's states. Um, and having been up close and personal to people in like the Trump administration, for example, Lindsey Graham said this before he died, and I know he's like the arch neocon, but he said, you get in the Senate and you sort of say, uh, who's in charge here? How does this all work? And the realization is no one's in charge. It's all factions. It's factions on the highest level internationally, and then it's factions within the nation. So, for example, in America, it's the big political parties. it's the big companies and these big uh lowkey of power like big tech or Wall Street or whatever. And so I think it's it's not as uh sexy or or um secretive as people like to think it is. And u that would be my interpretation of it. And and I didn't say that it's um just Jewish secret societies. I just think that [snorts] what what Jewry is is it is a nation without a state. It's a nation without borders. And people realize there's others that exist like the Kurds. They're a nation without borders. They're they're a nation without a state, a stateless people. But the difference is that Jews have been this way for 2,000 years. They're in the most powerful countries like Russia, the Western capitals, America. And they have been resistant to any kind of assimilation for thousands of years. And it's almost built into their religion. and it's built into the Torah to resist assimilation through intermarriage or cultural assimilation. And I think that's what makes them a super powerful force. It's that you can have the Jews in England, the Jews in France, the Jews in America, the Jews in Israel coordinating, operating as something like a secret society, maybe less with secrecy, more with coordination and resistance to infiltration. And that's what gives them power over the rest of us that are not really playing the same kind of team sport that they are. And I do think that, you know, I think they're not Kazerians and I don't think they're um gnostic mystics. I think they're ethnically Jews and I think they practice the Jewish religion. Um so let me explain. Um so so your point of the Rothschilds, they're Jewish, right? Well, um they're also Stephanie Frankus. >> No. >> Yes, they are. Stephanie Frankus. Yes, they are. >> What's the evidence for this? >> Okay. All right. Um also you talk about >> what's the evidence for that? Um, so I I don't have the evidence at the top of my head, but >> it's not real that the Sabati Zeve and Jacob Frank were were marginal in Eastern Europe. >> No, no. Zevy and Jacob Frank were definitely not marginal figures. >> They were. >> So um, Zevi declared himself the Messiah in 1666. >> Mhm. >> And at that time at least a third of all Jews followed him. Okay. So a third of the entire Jewish diaspora thought this guy Zevi was the Messiah. Jacob Frank was not a marginal figure at all. Uh Jacob Frank um had uh followers in the European nobility um and among some of the most prominent um banking families. >> There's no evidence for that. It's not real. >> It it's called Wikipedia like like just go just Google Frank Wikipedia. It it tells you that >> like who who who's following Jacob Frank? >> You're saying the evidence for the Rothschilds being Frankst specifically? >> Yeah. Well, that and and the rest of it. I mean, I I think that this is like a popular >> Can you check that? C. Can you just see like if there's any evidence that the Rothschilds are Frankest? >> It's a popular conspiracy theory. >> There's no evidence for that. >> So, I mean, first of all, the seven Frankers were really powerful people um at that time. Um that's number one. Number two is you say that the Jewish diaspora was a transnational organization. True, but so were the Jesuits and so were the Freemasons. >> And you can argue the Jesuits and the Freemasons were much more impactful in European history than the um the um than the Jews. If you read Albert Pike's book morals and dogma um I mean there are Freemasons who believe that they are the ones who who spawn the French Revolution. Um >> yeah and but where are they today? >> Well I mean what often happens is these um societies they splinter off and become new um groups maybe sworn bones maybe nights templars. So I don't know enough about suicides to say like where they are who they are but but what I will say is >> but we could say who the Jews are today right Larry Ellison Netanyahu Jared Kushner but you can't name what's one prominent Freemason >> throughout history the Jews have always been the scapegoats in European history okay so so so so let me explain um my understanding okay and we can argue about this >> but when the Catholic church um became the dominant power in Europe. Uh the European nobility had a problem. The problem um was usery because at that time for very good reasons uh religious authorities outlaw usery. But at the same time usery was the most profitable activity you could ever engage in. All right. So what happened was the European nobility basically got the Jews to engage in usery um and um be the scapegoat. Not only that but because the Jews want to maintain their identity and they want to stay in Europe, they bas basically became the slaves and servants to eur European nobility because that's who pro provided them protection. the Catholic Church itself wanted the Jews around as the other. Okay. So, Augustine um in his writings talks about this how you know we need to set an example to good Christian people as to what will happen to them if they stray away. And the answer is they become like the Jews. The Jews live in ghettos. They're persecuted. They are uh ignored. Okay. So it served the purpose of both the European nobility and for the Catholic Church to have the Jews as scapegoats in society. [snorts] Um and things worked out well until you have disasters like like the black plague. Um in which case the Jews get blamed. So the Jews have were constructed as a uh almost like a um escape valve for the powers that be. And I think this is this is something that still actually continues today where it's so easy for the powers that be to blame the Jews for everything. >> H >> okay and then you ask yourself well why do the Jews actually put up with this right and the answer is they did most Jews actually converted in this in this time they converted to Christianity uh most of the early followers of Jesus were in fact Jews >> well yeah Jesus was a Jew >> Jew was a Jew. [laughter] Yes. Okay. Christianity was founded as a Jewish uh sect. Um Islam mo a lot of Jews converted to Islam. Most uh a lot of Muhammad's followers were Jews. Uh they were called the companions. Okay. So but there were certain groups of Jews who stayed loyal to the religion. They were the most fanatical. Why? Because in Judaism it's it's lineage. So the rabbis are in charge and they pass it on to their children. So it's in the best interest to actually work with the Europe European nobility and work with the Catholic Church um in order to maintain the power. Okay. and and um and there were a lot of reformers sat in Frank for example Sab Zevi who thought that the entire Jewish tradition was corrupt because it was really about exploiting the majority of Jews in order to support a nobility uh that was corrupt and um depraved and these and and and and these are called the rabbis. And so Sabatian and frankism was almost like not just a heresy but also a relig also revolution in Jewish Jewish history. And that's why sabling frankism is so often ignored um by mainstream uh Jewish thinkers. >> Yeah. I just think that this is all an attempt to exonerate organized jewelry. I think that and you know for example you brought up Kesler writing 13th tribe. Kesler said to a French biologist about the Kazerian hypothesis that Ashkanazi Jews are not the Jews of the Bible. They're from the Kazerian Empire from the the nomadic Turk tribes in the step. Kesler who wrote the theory popularized in the 1970s he said to a French biologist if I can convince people that the Jews descend from Kazerians and not the people of the Middle East. He said I can eliminate the racial basis for anti-semitism. And he actually wrote in the forward of his book, he said that if we can prove that this is the case, he said then we will prove that anti-semitism is effectively a hoax that people are blaming this group that isn't even really the people from the Middle East. And he said this, like you said, as a Zionist Hungarian Jew. So, you know, in effect, what does the Kazerian hypothesis do? It said, don't blame this group of people. They're not really Jews. So, they're not responsible for the coin clipping and the well poisoning and the uh sacrificing Christian children and all the things they're accused of doing in the Middle Ages in Europe um and the things that are even in their book in the Talmud. So, no, I mean I I I believe that Jews are real. They descend from the Middle East. They practice a Jewish religion. And I think that it's become very popular. People like Canis Owens and Tucker and I've heard you say it. The Sabati Frank theory, Sabatian uh Frankists, Sabati Savvy and Jacob Frank, the Kazerian hypothesis, all this other stuff is an attempt to basically deflect from the fact that there is a Jewish issue in the world. And you know, it sounds terrible to say that. I'm a Christian. We believe that Jews are a witness to the crucifixion of Christ. or witness population. So, Catholics believe it's actually the church's job to protect them and make sure they continue to exist. However, when they exist in America and Europe and they work corporately together and they work in their own best interest and not in the interest of the country they reside in, that's when it becomes a problem and it becomes an issue of sovereignty and that's where you need to say people like Larry Ellison shouldn't have power in a country like America. >> So, so you think Jewish supremacy is a source of all problems in America? >> No, I didn't say that. >> Okay. Jake, if you could just say like what do you think Nick misunderstands about Jewish influence on the world and Israel's influence on the world and then we should probably move on from the >> Yeah, I mean we can just do a very simple thought experiment. Okay, let's just give um the Infinity Gauntlet to Nick. Okay, you're now Thanos and with a snap of your finger, you can just say I will eliminate this group and then all the world's problems will be solved. Okay. You can pick one group and I can pick pick another group and we can figure out um using a thought experiment what the impact on the world will be. >> Mhm. >> Right. So So which group would you pick? >> Uh criminals. >> Criminals. Okay. Well, I would pick baby boomers. >> Now, >> and you think that would get rid of all the world's problems? >> I I mean I think that'd be much more effective than getting rid of criminals. >> But we have a problem of evil. That's the problem is evil uh in the world. >> You said so. So you're saying that criminals are much worse than than Jews? >> Than baby boomers and Jews. Yes. >> Okay. So I think baby boomers are much worse than than criminals and and and Jews. Yes, I do. >> But see, I don't I don't ever like this thought experiment because it's sort of just it belies the structural problem which is that a group that is not loyal to the country they reside in should not have power. And I would say the same about any other group. You know the these are a group of people like someone like Ben Shapiro. He's not loyal to America. He doesn't care about what's good for America. If America became bad for Jews, he would go somewhere else. If America stopped supporting Israel, he would stop supporting America. Someone like that should not influence the hearts and minds of millions of people. And and to me, it's really that simple. It's not about, you know, aren't they responsible for all the problems if we got rid of them with the, you know, there are a lot of good Jews. Like some of my best friends are Jews. I say this all the time. I don't want to get rid of them. It's just that we need to recognize the role of government, which is to look after its own people. and and Jews always have existed corporately, separately, in their own insular tribe. And as long as that's the case, I don't think there should be this uh integration necessarily. >> Do you think baby boomers are a problem? >> Um, no. I don't I don't think baby boomers have agency. They're just people that were born in a particular uh two decades. >> The baby boomers have all the power and the money and the status in United States right now. >> No, but not really though. I mean, how about someone like Elon Musk? He's not a baby boomer. Okay. So, uh let me make my argument. Okay. You you you can respond. Okay. So, um in 1960s and 70s, uh there's a scientist named James B. Calhoun. >> Mhm. >> And he ran something called a rat utopia experiment. So, he just wanted to know um if we were to live in a world of abundance, what would that mean for humanity? So what he did was he took a room like just as big as as this room and he created a rat colony and he made sure this rat colony was a paradise. So basically you were protected from predators, there were no hawks, there were no animals that would prey on you. Um there was free water, free food, and you could you could do whatever you want. It was it was basically a common society. Okay, it was like communism for rats and no matter and he spent 20 years doing these experiments and he had many different iterations but no matter what he did all it every time he did he ran this experiment it only ended in the genocide of the rats. The moral of the story is more than water, more than food, more than shelter, we strive for status, right? We want to be looked upon, looked up upon by our our peers. And so it doesn't matter if you're poor, but if you believe there social mobility in society, you will work hard and you'll be energetic and you you will be a productive member of society. But if there's a ceiling and there's no mobility at all, then um young people, especially young men, might start engaging in degenerate behavior. And I would say um radutopia helps explain a lot of what's going on in American society today. You have the baby boomers in charge. They are not retiring. They have all the money, power, and status in society. You've got a senator, a US senator, Chuck Grassley, who is 94 years old and he is still in the Senate and he's in fourth in line to be president of the United States. If Donald Trump dies, JD Vance takes over. If JD Vance dies, Mike Johnson takes over. If Mike Johnson dies, Chuck Graasley, who again is 94 years old, he would become president of the United States. And you've got another guy, Mitch McConnell, and no one no one's really sure if he's dead or alive. >> Sort of in the middle. Yeah. >> Right. And so the question is, why is it these people are still around? Why aren't they retired and given room for a new generation of leaders to rise up? Um, we've been ruled by Boomers for decades now. Do you go to US University? Do you know what the average age of a university dean is right now? >> It's like 75 years old. This is the average age. So these are professors who are not retiring. And not only are they not retiring, but they're basically double dipping, right? So they're professors and they become university administrators. So they collect not only their pension, but also a salary as well. And meanwhile, the vast majority of professors at a university are adjunct, meaning meaning they make less than minimum wage. Sorry to cut you off, Jung. Uh, just Nick, do you see the gerontocracy, the baby boomers, as a major issue? >> I think they're over hated. I like the baby boomers because I think a lot of people don't realize the baby boomers are an extremely conservative force that once they're gone, America is going to go in a very different direction. Because what a lot of people don't realize is that's the base of the Republican party. And as much as I have my disagreements with the GOP, I want the GOP to be fundamentally destroyed and changed. If it's not the GOP, it's going to be the radical left. And I know that, you know, for a time we thought we had moved past that. But you look at this next generation, the Zoomers, what percentage of them are socialists? What percentage of them identify as far-left or moderately left? It's like 60 to 70%. It's a lot of them. And so I think that boomers die off. This becomes a much more progressive country. It becomes a much more diverse country. Um, and you know, let's not forget baby boomers remember what the world was like before all of the technology. These are people that still know how to fix things. These are people that still have a little bit of wherewithal, last generation to be drafted. Um, so I think they're a little bit over hated because you could say it's baby boomers that are the elites like a Chug Grassly and baby boomers have a larger share of the wealth. Uh, but by the same token, a lot of baby boomers are just people living on their social security on a fixed income. Uh, you know, trying to get by. So I I don't I don't think we can blame an entire generation for the problems of the country. I think you have to narrow the focus a little bit because you you are right. I mean, and you even see this in a microcosm in politics. It's these baby boomers lording over their fftoms. Little nonprofits, little political groups. Don't want to train up or give opportunity for the next generation. I certainly get the frustration, but it's just painting with too broad of a brush. I think a lot of baby boomers are good people. Nick, when you went on Tucker Carlson's show last year, uh, he said something along the lines of, "I was totally convinced you were a fed." And you told him, quote, "I thought you were a fed." Mhm. >> And since then, everyone online in podcasting particularly calls each other a fed. But I'll start with you, Nick. Do you think Professor Jang is just a high school teacher? Um, well, I don't know. And and here's the thing. I I don't like to engage in that kind of speculation because I think the ideas stand on their merits. What matters is a message, not the messenger. And um you know sometimes it can become relevant a person's associations or you know if there's things that appear contradictory or something but generally speaking you know whether whatever I believe about him or he believes about me what we talked about today is the ideas and the ideas live and die by their predictive power you know or or how close they are to the truth. And so um I get accused of being a fed all the time. Tucker called me that and he kind of started that whole rumor and and it's difficult because you know defending yourself from accusations then detracts from and takes away from the time you're talking about the ideas. >> And so I prefer to just tell people you know draw your own conclusions from what I say and and evaluate the ideas whatever you think about me. And I feel like the same is true about uh professor Jang. >> Professor would you agree with that stance? >> I I completely agree. I mean, I one reason why I'm really excited for this conversation is um I think Nick's a very smart and talented person with some really intriguing ideas. And so just sitting with um Nick and having a conversation has really opened my mind to new possibilities. It's really forced me to think much deeper about my own ideas and I I think that's what an honest and open debate should should do. I think more people should engage in open and honest debate. I think the worst thing that's ever happened is the the promotion of like DEI and cancel culture and deplatforming. Um and it's a very anti-liberal um and I think very anti-American and and very anti- humanitarian um idea. >> Um as humans I think we should all strive to engage with people who are different from us so we can learn from each other. >> Right. Well, in that case, uh, we'll do a quick light-hearted segment. Uh, I'm going to give you both a name, and I'd like you to give me one word to describe each person. Uh, Xi Jinping, smart. >> Um, um, uh, I will opt out. [laughter] >> Yeah. terrible. I can't think of a word. I can't think of a word that does not leader. >> Yeah. I cannot think of a word that does not get me into trouble. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. Some certain words were floating my mind, but no. Yeah. I I will I will opt out. Yes. >> JD Vance. >> Fat. >> I think the word is eager. >> Sneo Brown. [laughter] You like him. He's your buddy. >> Yeah. Um, I think he's curious. Tucker Carlson. [sighs and gasps] >> The CIA. >> I think he's courageous. C, can I explain why we come with these words? Um, so Ter Carlson impresses me because he continues to do something that I've never seen anyone else do in uh the media to the degree he's done, which is he he constantly admits he's wrong. Uh, he admits he was wrong about his support for the Iraq war. He admits he was wrong about Muslims. Um, he admits he was wrong about Trump. And I think that this should be a daily habit of everyone in power and influence, >> right? >> Hunter Biden. [laughter] Uh, crackhead. >> He was dissing me on Twitter, so I'm I'm not being nice anymore. He He was on Bradley Martin talking trash. >> Really? >> Yeah. I said he could beat me up, which you probably could, but [laughter] whatever. You're a drug addict. >> Uh, memecoin. Hm. I thought he would be on the path to redemption, you know, and the guy starts a meme coin. Like, why would you do that? Candace Owens. >> Dumb. Um, I think she's brave. Trump, [cough] I don't know these. I don't know what to think of him anymore. Legend. [gasps] >> He's definitely energetic. H Nick Fuentes. >> Me? >> Is that your word? Me? >> Me? Doc, I'm me. I'm am me. >> Um, I I I I think Nick is very talented. >> Thanks, Professor Jeong. >> H fascinating, >> reflective, >> huh? Love that. on some of your predictions, Jean. One that Nick, I believe, has uh qualms with is the idea that Trump could potentially get a third term. But instead of asking about that, I just think you both kind of agree on this maybe slightly, the some of the ideas around it. Do you think America should have a dictator? >> Yes, I do. >> I I I actually agree with this. >> Let's go. Yeah, I agree. You need a dict You need a dictator now because the system is so fun fundamentally broken. Um it's so polarized and the elite are so uh degenerate. Um the oligarchs are stealing so much. You you need to break break the system down. >> Totally agree. We're stuck. I mean that's really the problem is we're stuck and a radical intervention is required that is not going to be brought on by the vote by a change in the money power. I agree the system fundamentally needs to be broken down and changed in a radical way. [gasps and sighs] So I mean the reality is that America is a crossroads. You can either have um a dictator or you can have another Joe Biden. Um, and I'm not sure if people want want to go back to Joe Biden. >> Joe Biden, maybe it was good for a certain segment of the population, right? The elite or the professional managerial class. But if you're just an average American, you saw inflation go way up. Um, you were constantly gaslit by the media, right? Clearly uh Joe Biden was scenile and Joe Scarbor goes on TV and says you know this man is in the best shape of his life and you know if you don't know that you don't believe that then f you. M um so I think and and also like clearly during the Biden years uh the United States was in a recession because because recession is just like two quarters of economic decline, right? >> But then rather than say we're in recession, Janet Yellen um of the Treasury uh Department says, "Well, we're going to change the definition of what recession means." So I think people are just sick of that. And and I think if you vote in another Democrat, you'll get the same thing. Um you'll get a sort of like consensus, lukewarm, feelgood um presidency, but that's about it. And to give people like an idea of this, uh since the Iran War started, Nick, what do you think was the last major decision Donald Trump made on his own? Hm. I think the Iran war was a decision he made on his own. And I think that's one of the central misconceptions about Trump. And I say that as someone that's been a part of the Trump movement or was part of it since it started. I was an enthusiastic supporter, door knocker, campaigned for him in 16 and went to stop the steel in 2020. And the narrative that Republicans tell themselves about him is that it's everybody else. It's the adviserss. It's the Democrats. It's the personnel in the White House. And we have actually had enough data now to see who's really at fault. Like take for example the personnel. In the first term, they said, "Well, Trump can't do what he said he would do cuz the personnel is not really on board. They're not America first. They're not MAGA. So they're sabotaging his agenda." Well, now DHS and Department of War is filled with America First Trump loyalists, and they're thwarted every day by him. the border wall will not be built because Trump can't get his friend to get the contract to do the work. So now he doesn't want a wall. And same thing with the Department of War. Elbridge KBY is the chief strategist in the Pentagon. He's a restrainer. He says we should focus on hemispheric defense and the Caribbean and the Western Hemisphere. We're at war with Iran because Trump was convinced by Netanyahu and by a handful of other people. Um so it's not the personnel. It's not the advisers. the advisers have changed over the past 10 years. And you know, by the way, Trump picks those people. So, we had a situation back in February with the Iran war where everybody understand understood it was a bad idea. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, head of the Navy, head of the Army, Vice President Don Jr., and they couldn't fully advise against it because they knew Trump wanted the war because Trump likes Netanyahu and Netanyahu wanted the war. And so out of fear of being fired or ostracized in the admin, they couldn't give their full opinion. So they said, "Hey, we support the policies of the president, it's 100% behind you." At the end of the day, I think the problem is him. And what is contained in this idea, by the way, is that people think if we could just get the system right, got to get the advisors, the personnel. I think it's really just a question of leadership. And that's what Trump promised to change in 16. He fundamentally said, "America needs a leader." not like, "Hey, vote for me. We're going to change the policies." He said, "No, America needs a leader to give us a vision and be the cheerleader for the country." He said, "And literally take the country and make it great again. Bypass the money power, the corruption, the media." And I think that was the promise of Trumpism. That's what people got excited about. And he just didn't deliver. You know, he turned out to just be another politician. So, at the end of the day, Iran war, COVID lockdown, BLM, it came down to the leadership of the guy in that office. It's him. >> No, I I actually agree with Nick's analysis. It's a It's pretty incredible to think about, but in Trump's first term, he was probably probably one of the weakest presidents in US history because really no one actually followed his orders, [laughter] right? Um but in his second term, he's proven to be one of the most powerful presidents in um US history. And quite honestly, you can make the argument that he's probably the most powerful president ever just because the president has uh accumulated so much power over the past few uh decades. And it seems very much that the president is moving towards something called a unit unitary executive um almost like a monarch really. And and that's a trend we're seeing. And Nick, you don't think Trump will be elected a third term? >> No, I I don't think he'll seek it. I think that Trump is um the calamity of Trump is that he's always gesturing towards a power grab or a dictatorship, but he just simply lacks the bureaucratic and administrative knowhow and the followrough to achieve it. So, for example, like he's doing this thing with these mail-in ballots where they got DHS to make a list of all the voters, telling the post office to throw out the envelopes of people that mailed in their ballot that aren't eligible. And it's like that that is something that is really just a power grab. That's like something where Republicans are not favored in mail in ballots. So, they're just going to simply constrict them, which will hurt the Democrats. It's a power play. Uh but it's such a illconceived idea. It's not going to make it through the Supreme Court. All it does is antagonize the left and gesture towards a naked power grab without the benefits or the effects of actually doing one. So theoretically, I think he wants a third term probably because that makes him protected against any future persecution. He gets all the privileges and the perks. But I I just don't think he has the wherewithal uh to pull it off. I just think he's just a buffoon at this point. Well, I mean, I just said that Trump right now is probably the most powerful US president ever. Um, so he has he has a lot of tools at his disposal. He could declare a a war emergency. Uh, suspend the constitution. Um, he could uh there are a lot of tools available to him that I think are not imaginable right now. The other thing I will point out is um the pace of change, the accelerationism. It's kind of incredible, right? I mean, just think about all the things that have happened uh these past like this past year. January 3rd, you had the kidnapping of Maduro. Um then a couple months later, you have this war start in in Iran. I mean, things are happening really fast. And you you ask yourself um why are they happening this fast? And how much power is Trump accumulating for himself in this process? And Nick, in your view, what is like why is Trump able to exercise more power than previous US presidents? >> Well, it is the deference of his personnel to him. I mean, every president can appoint about four to 5,000 political hires. Those are the people that transition from one admin to the next. And these people are just uh they're basically sick of fants. And I know because I know a lot of them, they go to these parties in DC and >> everybody's against the war. But you go to like a party and people say, "So what do you think about the war?" And people say, "I support the policies of the president of the United States." It's like a dictator. It's like Stalinism. Um in the sense that the admin has to be so loyal to Trump or else they'll be ostracized. I think that's a big part of it. They are grabbing power with executive orders, with Doge coming in and and bringing these sweeping changes to how these agencies and departments work. They really are doing a lot of administrative things to expand the scope of the White House's power. Um, it's a lot of administrative and bureaucratic stuff, but I think fundamentally Trump is just, and maybe this is a disagreement because I'm just so frustrated with Trump. I wish he would go further. But so for example with the ICE raids, they got a little bit of push back in Minneapolis, a little bit of push back in LA and they withdrew. They retreated. You know, they surged Customs and Border Patrol and ICE. They got these protests. They had to kill a couple people. Protests worsened and they pulled out. Same thing with Doge. They brought everybody in ripping everything apart that wasn't bolted down and then federal judges and Congress intervened and they shut it down. And so, uh, I I think that, like I said, Trump is he's a tactical guy, but not strategic. It's all flying by the seat of his pants. It's all ad hoc. There's never a plan, and then there's never follow through. I think it's a little bit of push back, and then he takes the path of least resistance. So, it's true that he's expanded the power, but I I don't think he's exercising it efficiently. >> Um, I would completely disagree with Nick's analysis here. I I think Trump is a unique historical figure. Um, and I've never seen the political comeback that that that he achieved, right? Cuz like you go back to January 6, 2021, he was dead in the water, right? His most of his cabinet had abandoned him. Um it almost seemed like a headsh shot where okay uh the president is um provoking an insurrection in the capital, right? So it just seemed like this guy was just dead politically. Even his [clears throat] daughter >> sort of sh like shunned him, right? Sort of walked away from him and like cleanse her like clean her hands like like I'm I'm not part of this this, right? And it really was um I mean like I I really think that after he went back to Mara Lago he really was in about I mean like he was really depressed and he felt hopeless and then who could predict that a few years later he would um be the president again. So, I I I don't think to say he's not strategic uh and he's just a dumbass who got lucky. I I I think that that like helps us explain what's going on here. So, um I So, I I'll make certain comments about who he is. And then Nick, you you actually met this guy. I've never met this guy. All right. I mean, um, but I will say, um, first of all, his personality makes him uniquely ideal for the presidency because if you look at other presidents, whether it's Obama or Clinton or Bush, the job exhausts you. It's the hardest job in the world. And we look at Donald Trump, the guy's 80 years old. >> He's still going strong. Um and so uh he just loves being president of the United States and there's certain arrogance to him that I think is very important. Right? A sense of self- entitlement arrogance like I deserve this position uh because then you can ban reality to your will. Right? Maybe Obama was too differential and that and therefore he was a pretty weak uh president. So his personality is um really uh larger than life. But I will also say that what what people don't recognize about him is the level of his ambition. I think in his head he does believe he is a mezzanic figure of some sort. And again, you know better than I do. You've actually met the guy. Okay. But I cannot believe that this guy is going to endure so much in order to just be president. He must have a larger mission at play. This guy, Donald Trump, he does not drink and he's lived a very disciplined life. Now, I I know that sounds kind of oxonic because he slept with a lot of um you know, playboy, playmates, and he comes across like a jackass, but there's like he's lived a life where he engaged in criminality without actually ever breaking the law. That's kind of impressive, man. and you know to like be a ma mafia figure and not ever uh be indicted for anything. So I so I think that what drives him is a deep sense of mission because otherwise why else would you want to become president of United States? I mean just as a joke, just as a meme. >> Mhm. >> Um and I mean he worked his ass off to get to where to where he is. In 2016, he was doing two, three rallies a day. Um, he was constantly on social media. Um, in 2024, Camala Harris, Donald Trump, I would just say Donald Trump just outworked Camala Harris, right? >> Yeah. >> Donald Trump was willing to go on any and all podcasts. Camala Harris like, "No, you can't ask me this question. You can't ask me that question." So, I I think that Donald Trump is a unique historical figure and he surprised everyone before and I think he'll surprise everyone later on. >> Nick, do you think Trump believes he's Jesus like some messianic figure or do you think it's the point of this presidency has really just been make as much money for the Trump family as possible? >> I think it's possible. I I don't get the sense though that Trump thinks deeply about ideas, about religion, about politics. I I think there's a grandiosity. You're 100% right. Uh but I think it's it's motivated by vanity. You know, why does he want to be the president? I think it's the same reason he puts his name on the building. There's a giant Trump sign in Chicago, Trump Hotel or, you know, Trump Tower in New York. He liked the idea of it's me as the president. And you know, there's a famous advertisement he did, I think, for like Domino's Pizza or something where he says Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump. Like he sees himself as like I said, and I think you're right. this ambition, this grandiosity, but I think there's something fundamentally hollow about it. He doesn't seem to me to be ideological, to be religious, to be mystical even, or even thoughtful at all. He seems to be like an instinctual individual. And I think that so much of what has happened is instinct, one thing leading into the next. Like you're right about January 6th, for 2 years, he was cooked. Yeah. After J6, he was done. and even until the midterms. In the midterms in 22, he denounced Dantis a couple days before the election and it seemed like everybody had turned on him because they said, "Why are you attacking a Republican days before the election? That's not helpful." After Dantis won by 20 points, people ready to throw him out. He couldn't raise money as late as December 22, January 23. It wasn't until the raid at Mara Lago in August of 23 and those indictments in March of 24 coming down and then the conviction in Manhattan that Trump was able to snowball some more support and get back in the game. And uh and I think that that was just out of necessity to avoid jail time because he would have been sent up forund and some years between all those different cases. And it's not to take away cuz I I agree with you. I don't think he's a dumbass. I think he's brilliant and he's a beast in terms of his work ethic and a brilliant promoter and a campaigner, but I think that it's those organizational skills that he lacks as president. It's it's that skill for governing, you know, that like a Joseph Stalin might have to create the state apparatus to create, you know, this genius to create the bureaucracy and and actually action the agenda. I think that's what he lacks. It's possible that maybe some of the people around him have convinced him and maybe he likes the idea that he's a messianic figure, but I think it's more he likes the idea of it because it's self arandizing than that he has like a deep conviction about it. I think um to appreciate the uniqueness of Trump um what he did um his change from the first term to second term it required radical self reinvention and that is really uh a superpower to just completely change how you perceive the world. Um because in his first term remember he was not at all effective. Mhm. >> Um people just regularly disobeyed his orders. And even Mark Millie, the chairman of the joint chief of staff, he called the Chinese, his Chinese counter says, "Ignore this guy. He's not really in charge." Um and now in the second term, he's completely in charge. This requires radical self-invention. So, it seems easy, but it's not because um you need to reflect on what you did wrong the first time and then make adjustments and learn from your mistakes. And I don't know that many people in the world who who who do that. I I think um if any other US president he were to encounter this level of adversity, I think he would just fold under pressure. Obama would does not have the capacity for radical self-invention. Um certainly not Joe Biden, not even Bill Clinton. So not even George Bush. So like I mean I don't think we can truly appreciate the level of his genius. It's I mean um he will never dwell on the SAT, right? But the way that he's just able to capture and control the public narrative about everything, that's just astonishing. I mean, everything's about him, right? I mean, it it's just crazy the level of attention he gets from everyone. Yeah. On the topic of Trump being God uh or thinking he's Jesus perhaps both you believe many uh energized people believe the world ends with the building of the third temple and maybe the rise of the Antichrist. Uh Nick believes Jesus is God. Professor, you believe that the true God is something that you call the Monad. Nick, who do you think Jesus Christ is or was? I believe well he is the son of God. I think he's a person of the trinity. And the way that a uh a Catholic would say it is that in the beginning you have God the father. We have the monad. And what does God do? What is the God is a mind. God is an intellect. So the thing that God does is God thinks. And what God thinks about is himself. And how he makes himself intelligible and comprehensible as he begets eternally what we would say is the logos. the kind of intellectualized version of himself. And it's this relationship between the father and the son. It's this generation, this begotten entity, this relationship between them that we would call the holy spirit. That's how a Christian would describe the trinity. And so I would say Jesus Christ is this eternally begotten part of God. Well, not part, it's not technically correct, but it's a it's a figure of the godhead. Professor, you've said previously the Apostle Paul was quote a spy for the Roman Empire and kind of implied he was the true founder of Christianity or like uh evangelized it in a way like made it popular. Do you think the church changed Jesus's message? Yeah. So, um I think Jesus was a miracle. Um because this was a man with no status, no power society, but he was able to channel the vine and speak poetry in a way that moved people to to tears. Like the sermon on the mount is one of the greatest piece of poetry ever written. It's just beautiful and it's very moving and I think just reciting it uh connects you to the divine uh it it elevates and transcends your your situation. So I think in that way Jesus was a genius. He was a poet, prophet and he was a miracle and just the idea of Jesus is able to give uh people hope even today. Um that's why you have two billion Christians in in the world. But his message is problematic because his ultimate message is each of us has divine connection to God. But if that's the case, why do you have hierarchy? Why do you have inequality? Why do you have debt? None of this makes sense. But in order for civilization to progress, you need hierarchy. You need debt. You need inequality. And so um Jesus was this revolutionary figure that you could never stamp out because he spoke to the heart and and just the idea of Jesus just hearing his words just speaking his words could move people to tears and um the people became fearless and um they transcended the all fears and ego just w just hearing the poetry of Jesus. And so because of this threat to authority, authority figures needed to somehow cage uh Jesus in a way that was manageable, right? So it's a divine spark. Uh it's a fire and it threatens to like burn down all authority, right? So what do you do? Well, you put a cage around it. You you put it in a glass um cage so that people can admire it, but it's not going to burn down society. And that and that's the role of Paul because um Paul his message was okay Jesus was great his poetry is wonderful his message is fantastic but we need structure we need hierarchy and that's what the church is a a church is a way to bring order and structure to our movement and in doing so he was doing the bidding of authority. Is there a specific belief uh or message that you think was changed of Jesus? >> Yeah, there were a lot but the major one was Jesus is God. >> Whereas Jesus would have never said that. What Jesus would have said if you actually look at what what he said and we have actually have a lot of those things is we are all part of God. God is part of us. We're all connected to God. >> Uh therefore you do not need intervention. you do not need an intermediary, right? And and like but to say Jesus is a god is to say nope. There's an uh middle intermediary in the process and that's Jesus. And so um I think Jesus would would have been very upset if to for him to hear Jesus is God. >> Well, I I guess the missing part is the crucifixion and resurrection because uh you know it's fine and well to say Jesus was a great guy, said a lot of great stuff. if we consider him in the pantheon of great human beings or maybe you know representations of God who channeled God but he's crucified on the cross dies rises again and appears to his disciples appears to the early Christian community and so I think it's difficult to account for that by saying he was just a social activist or a teacher I mean how how would you account for that do you think he was crucified uh and or do you think he was resurrected >> um So I think there's a lot of debate about this. Um so you look at the Islamic tradition which does worship Jesus as messenger of of God. He was the pen ultimate. Muhammad was the ultimate >> right. >> They never talk about his uh crucifixion and resurrection. Mhm. >> Um the um Islamic tradition is influenced by the Ntorian Christian tradition uh which is u which comes from um uh James the just who is the brother of Jesus and the person the person who inherited the movement after the death of Jesus and the never talk about the the cru crucifixion of Jesus as well. uh the the if you look at the gospel of Thomas which is probably earliest written text we have of the teachings of Jesus there's really no talk of his sacrifice as well so um the gospel of Thomas was the earliest of the gospels >> that's apocryphal though >> yeah so um so so what Nick is saying is that this is not part of the cannon it's not recognized by the church but scholars believe that this the gospel of Thomas was the earliest of the Gnostic gospels or of all the gospels. >> Yes. And and there are scholars who believe that all four gospels are based on the gospel of Thomas. >> Really? >> Yeah. Because the gospel of Thomas has his complete sayings which then became incorporated in the other gospels. The gospel of Matthew, the gospel of Mark. >> The problem though is it becomes unintelligible without the crucifixion. How do you make sense of the kiss of peace, the last supper, all the events preceding the crucifixion without the crucifixion, the betrayal by Judas and so on? >> So if you study the gospel of Thomas by itself and you look you incorporate all of other all of other uh so if you incorporate Jesus' other sayings in the other gospels, right? If you just take take that um as your library and you compare it to the teachings of Zorusra and of Buddha and of Homer and of Dante, there's a remarkable consistency in messaging. Um, so I would argue that what happened was Jesus was a poet who was able to channel the vine and he spoke words that um were truth encapsulated in words and therefore they were able to ignite the imagination um of the people around him which is the same thing that Homer did um in classical in in in during the Greek dark ages. is the same thing that Dante did before the Renaissance, the same thing that uh Zorathusra did. Um that's that's what I believe happened. >> Yeah. I guess I just I think it's real events. I think the gospels which date to 50 AD about 20 or 30 years after Jesus was crucified that tell the story of the crucifixion that he was charged by the Jewish community for claiming to be God. That's why he was crucified because he said before Abraham was I am. That was a claim that he was God. And that's why they had to sentence him to death. And and then those are all the biggest developments in the Christian religion is the last supper and uh going into the garden and and every you know Peter denying Christ three times. So and what's more I would say this is supported by the fact that 11 out of the 12 apostles were martyed by the Roman Empire defending the resurrection of Christ and his divinity. So historically, I just I don't think it makes sense that all the gospel stories are made up, that the crucifixion, resurrection was made up, that it it was all this elaborate work of fiction. And I also don't think it could have spread that far if it wasn't based on the truth. If people didn't witness the resurrection, because Christ did appear to hundreds and hundreds of people after the resurrection. And um so I I believe it's history. Nick, I'm curious of this. Why do you trust the Catholic Church when you typically distrust other powerful institutions? >> Well, it's not that I trust the Catholic Church. It's that we have the documents that we have the historical gospels from 2,000 years ago. And we have secular sources too from Tacitus and Josephus that describe the existence of Christ. And you know the story of Christ fulfills I think something like 450 prophecies in the Old Testament for which we have documents that precede Christ that describe where he would come and the manner in which he would come and that he would be baptized and the manner in which he would be killed and so on. 450 prophecies described in ancient Hebrew scripture that then Christ fulfills. Martyrs go to their death defending this account. I mean to me there's very there's more historical evidence for these events than for a lot of other historical figures. Um you know like so for example the Muslims will say well Jesus was the penultimate prophet and he they actually call him the Messiah although it's it's a little tricky what they really mean by that >> and and they believe he will return as well. >> Right. Exactly. Um however the Quran doesn't come until 700 years after Christ. The Gospels are 20 years after Christ. So why would the Quran be a more faithful representation than the Gospels which they say were corrupted? >> Right? >> That's that's my belief. >> The one area you guys do agree on on this I believe is Professor Jeang. Do you think America should be a Christian nation? >> I do. Hm. My understanding of US history was um it was founded by um the pilgrims and they came to create the new Jerusalem. And I don't think if they came with this messic mission, you could have the United States because at that time >> do you agree with that? >> With what? >> The new Jerusalem idea of the United States. uh which is >> heaven on earth, >> right? I mean that's that's why God created humanity so that humanity can do his good work and create heaven on earth so that he can smile upon us the new the new Jerusalem. >> Mhm. Yeah. I mean we believe that that's actually going to be a supernatural phenomenon at the end of time. >> Yeah. So um so if you look at North America uh before the coming of the pilgrims they tried settlements it never worked out because the conditions were too harsh. Um so the fact that the pilgrims were able to come and survive so many winters. Um I think is just from the from from that perspective it was a miracle and so there was always this religious uh mission that in the founding of the United States it became coupled with the enlightenment mission of spreading reason >> um the Freemasons right what they call the holy empire of of reason. So these are the two major strands uh undergirling the founding of the United States. you have um the desire to create the new Jerusalem and then you also have the desire to achieve the enlightenment. Um and I think that um you need both. And I feel that what's happened ever since after World War II is America has veered off to an extreme, the enlightenment extreme, which is the free movement of ideas, people, and capital. Right? That's why you have the idea of a meritocracy and and honestly I am a product of the meritocracy because I had no business going to Yale but because of enlightenment principles Yale is like we'll take the best and brightest from all around the world and we'll educate them to the best of our ability. So I'm very thankful to this um ideal but I also recognize it's caused a lot of problems in America because as Nick will say you have a lot of groups that are not really loyal to the United States. So, uh, you do have minority of Jews that are probably more loyal to Israel, but you also have Hindus, you also have Persians, you also have Muslims, you have all these different groups. And within these different groups, you have a minority that don't really see themselves as American. I don't really understand how you could sustain that as as a nation. M um so I feel as though uh the United States has veered off to one extreme and now you you need to balance it and you need to return to Christianity. Um and Christianity is what could provide cohesion. It could it it's what could provide uh purpose. Um but I will also say that [clears throat] uh America has always been tolerant. So I don't see the United States becoming a Christian theocracy. I see Christianity as the pillar, but Christianity would also welcome Islam and Judaism and other religious traditions. But I think that um this materialistic liberal atheism that has controlled the United States for the past few decades, I think its time is up and I think um America needs to return to its religious roots. H yeah, I totally agree and I I think that um specifically America was created only for a moral people. This is said throughout the documents of the founding fathers I think even in the federalist papers. It says the system does not work unless the population is moral because the whole point of America is self-government of by for the people. It's the idea that the human beings here are sovereign. And if you have, for example, a society with lots of crime and lawlessness and permissiveness. Think about like a contemporary debate about flat cameras. And the proponents of the flat cameras will say, "Well, you need them to catch the criminals. You got carjackings all the time. You got human trafficking. You have terrorism." And so, in a society that's so immoral that has lots of crime, you need massive surveillance. But surveillance necessarily infringes on liberty. the only way that you can actually have a liberal orderly society is if most of the people are operating in a moral way and so I think that it's uh it's essential to the character of the country. Without it, you have to have a much more tyrannical society. I >> I will also point out that it's in the nature of capitalism by itself to consume itself. What I mean by that is if you if all your people just focus on making money, then they are going to cheat, they're going to lie, they're going to steal >> in order to make as much money as possible, which just means social collapse at at the end of the day. So, you need Christian uh you need a Christian compass, you need you need a religious bearing. Nick, on the surveillance portion, uh would both of you say that it's uh reasonable that America and the world is moving towards some kind of global surveillance state, AI surveillance state? >> Seems almost unavoidable because it seems now you can't move as a human being in a car, can't move money without everything being documented. And that's really the issue as we move to a cashless society, as we move to a society even of self-driving. Forget about even flock cameras, but self-driving. You cannot move, think, communicate digitally or move money without that being cataloged and logged somewhere and then made sensible by AI or by algorithms like what they generated at Palunteer. So I think that you know and it's a loaded statement but you read the Ted Kazinski manifesto and this was talked about that the that technological progress inherently would make human freedom impossible. It doesn't say that it would tend to infringe on freedom. It says that technological progress will will necessarily make human freedom impossible. And I think that's basically where we are. I don't see how you're going to operate in a society with a Sam Altman or a Daario Amod these tech oligarchs running AI or running for example the all the electric cars and the rocket ships that level of power and information and surveillance the asymmetry and the concentration I don't see how it can't impose on the liberties of individuals so I I think that's just the inexraable path >> right now I completely agree with the sentiment You have a few companies with too much money and too much power. And we know that when that happens, when a few individuals have too much power, then they want to control everyone else. Uh because that's that's just how human psychology works. Um people like Peter Theal, Ella Musk, San Alman, they're obsessed with creating the AI control grid, and I think it's very hard to stop them at this point. Nick, you've talked extensively about JD Vance and his connections to some of the people Jean just mentioned. Uh, >> professor, who do you think actually controls JD Vance? Um, I think JD Vance is first and foremost a product of the meritocracy just like me. Um I did read his memoir uh Hillbilly Elegy and I read it um you know before he became politically prominent and I read it and I'm like this is very similar to Barack Obama's book dreams my father I read both and I read Billy Illeg and it seems almost he's manufacturing himself in a way um to have a political career and so I made prediction when I read the book that this guy probably wants to be the next Barack Obama and he'll probably be president of the United States one day. Um, if you read the book, um, well, first of all, it's really well written. I'm not sure if you've read the book, but it's it's really well written, but it's also really manufactured. Um, he seems to be trying to please as many people as possible. And so I think his issue is that as a part of of the meritocracy his main ambition in life is to please others. So uh whoever is in proximity to him he will just try to please. And by the way this is no different from Barack Obama right? Barack Obama in his uh campaign he promised hope and change. And what did he do? Well, the first thing he did was he appointed uh to resolve the um financial crisis people like Tim Gner, uh Larry Summers, the same people who caused the financial crisis in the first place. Same thing with Bill Clinton. Uh people people forget this, but Bill Clinton in 1992 ran as a populist >> and uh when he comes when he came into office, he just completely betrayed the workers. He passed the NAFTA. He um passed the most favored nation status for China. He basically screwed over the American working class. Um and Barack Obama also betrayed the uh American working class. I think JD Vance is very much a similar figure. >> Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, the comparison's completely apt and about the book being not just an act of self-invention but also to manufacture him as a political candidate. That is something that is explicitly talked about by his mentors. His first mentor was David from the speech writer for George W. Bush. And Vance wrote for his website, I think about a half dozen articles back in 2012 or 2013. And from about five or six years ago, wrote a big spread in the Atlantic about his experience with Vance. And he specifically told Vance that Vance was going to be the GOP president in the late 2020s. They said that his strength would be his biographical credibility, which if you understand that that is really in essence what he is. That's the book, which is his claim to fame. And it's a story about the white working class. It's the idea that he is uniquely as positioned to speak and communicate to the rust belt white working class in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and that's going to blow down the blue wall and help Republicans build this realigned political coalition. So, Hillbilly Elegy was literally designed to be that launch pad for him into politics, which it then was when he was Ohio senator and then now vice president and then probably 28 he'll be the nominee. >> I prefer to talk third term. >> Me too. If I had to pick me, too. But Elon controls Vance. It's Elon Musk and it's the tech money because Vance is tight with David Sachs and David Sachs is Elon's political guy. So, if people want to know, Peter Theo who um basically bought JD Vance's political career, right? It was Peter Theo who spent $50 million for >> uh Vance to win the Ohio Senate race. >> Yes. >> And it was Peter Theel who introduced JD Vance to Trump. So why why why you saying it's Ellen Musk and not >> because Elon's the big money now? Cuz you're right. Teal gave him 15 million for Senate. Teal put him on hired him at his venture firm when he launched his book. then fund Advances venture firm. Teal also got him the Trump endorsement in the Ohio Senate primary which was a very competitive three-way race. That's right. Yes. >> So, you're right. I mean teal is and I've talked a lot about this but I have heard from people close to the source that really the big power now is Elon because it was in June of 2024 uh before the convention that Vance held a fundraiser for Trump at David Sachs house in San Francisco with all the tech people and that's why a few days later Trump was on the all-in podcast with David Sachs and that whole crew from tech and I believe that Trump promoted Vance to be the nominee because Vance was going to be the connector that brought in all this new little tech money which does come from yes it comes from Teal and the Founders Fund guys, the um the brothers from Social Network, the Winkls twins, Andre Horowitz and then the big dog is Elon who put in almost 300 million in uh 2024 and I think he's on track to do I think he's at about a hundred million in the midterms. So Elon's the big juice and Sachs is Elon's political representative and Saxs more likely than not will be Vance's chief of staff if he becomes president. >> Do you think Elon is the most powerful man in America? >> Uh that's tough to say. I think it'd be close between Trump and Elon. >> I don't think Adam is the most powerful man in the United States. Um I think Trump is easily the most powerful. I would also argue Ellen Mus is probably not even the most wealthy man in the world, but that's just me. >> Who do you think is the most wealthy? >> Well, we will never know, right? I think if you have real power, you don't want to be in the spotlight cuz then people just make fun of you, right? I mean, like like Ellen Men, I mean I mean he's almost clownish in his behavior. I'm sure he's a really smart person, but I'm just saying like if you have true wealth and power, you would also value your privacy. Like Peter Theal vows his privacy a lot. >> You're right. You're right. >> So >> do you think Peter Thiel is the most powerful man in America? >> I think he's probably more powerful than Ellen Musk personally. >> On Jeffrey Epstein in the files that were released at the beginning of this year, Professor Yu told Theo Vaughn that Epstein was quote above Assad and implied the intelligence agencies were working for him. Nick, you've said, quote, "They're trying to make Epstein the scapegoat that all the workingclass people can get behind." >> Nick, who do you think Jeffrey Epstein actually was? >> I think he was basically a fixer is my estimation of him. Is he is one of these people that was basically a problem solver for these people like Leon Black and Les Wexner? I think certainly there's a possibility that Blackmail was involved. Why else would Leon Black and Less Wexner give him so much money? and and of course, why then would his house be rigged with cameras and recording devices at his sex parties? So, I think that certainly that was part of it, but I I think he's best understood as somebody that exists between worlds as more of like a broker or a mercenary or a fixer between intelligence agencies like CIA, like MSAD, like MI6 because there was that triangulation of the labor movement in UK, the Democratic Party here, and labor in Israel. That's really the triangulation that he existed in between. So, you know, a lot of people talk about his connections to MSD, which are legitimate, but you know, then you realize that I don't know that he was necessarily completely in bed with Israel. I think that he also had deep connections here and deep connections in the UK. And so, I think he represented something like an independent intermediary force more than loyal to any one country. >> Right. So um if we if we go back to my original model of the world right you have transal capital which is controlling force in the world then um you have these different societies competing with each other for power in the world and I think that Jeffrey Epstein was probably as Nick says a fixer for one of these secret societies. So if you go to the emails, um Jeffrey Epstein talks about his connection to the Rothschilds a lot >> and he he said in one of his emails there are three families in Vienna um that control the begging sector. They were the Rothschilds, they were the Epsteines and they were the Gutmans. Um and he also was saying how the three finance a shelter house where he stayed. Um, and so he's trying to talk about his lineage. Um, uh, then you have some weird things going on in Jeffrey, uh, Epstein's life where, um, in 1991, his his life completely changes. So what happened in 1991 is um first of all Lesie Wexner uh who is one of the richest men in Ohio >> uh signs over power power of attorney to Jeffrey Epstein >> and like they were not that close like that's kind of weird like why would you sign over power of attorney to basically a stranger okay that's the one thing that that's really strange about the entire incident and then another thing is the year 1991 is is the year that Robert Maxwell uh died. Um he fell off one of his yachts. And then 1991 is also the year that Glenn Maxwell, the daughter of Robert Maxwell, he starts she starts dating um Jeffrey Epstein. Okay. So what do I think happened? Well, you I think Jeffrey Epste was replacement for uh Robert Maxwell. And what was Robert Maxwell doing? Well, first of all, we know he was working very closely with the Mossad, the KGB with MI6. Okay, so as Nick says, you know, he was probably the interse intersection of different intelligence agencies. But the other thing that they was doing was he was having tremendous influence in the public and savic narrative. Okay. So, um, Robert Maxwell made a made up a lot of his money um, publishing scientific journals and he um, published a lot of textbooks. He had his own media company. >> And it's it's kind of strange because Jeff Epstein was kind of doing the same thing because we focus on his connections with, you know, um, Bill Clinton, but he was spending also a lot of time at the university level, right? He he went to Harvard and gave a lot of money to like these elite universities. Spent he spent a lot of time with these scientists, Stephven Pinker, uh Marvin Minsky. And so his role as an excessive was probably a fixer, but I think what his real role was to help shape the scientific and public narrative in a way that advanced certain esquetological goals. So I I think that he was probably working for a very powerful secret society and this secret society um was um sponsoring him and that's why Leslie Wexner was willing to sign over power of attorney to him and that's why he basically inherited uh Robert Maxor's wealth upon his death. Is there evidence of Epstein being involved in a secret society within the files themselves? >> Well, um, he was engaging in a lot of ritual practices, >> right? Or or maybe even just like the esquetology of like building the third temple. Like does he is there anything like that in the files? >> So, okay, let's do a thought experiment and let's just say I'm an oultist and what I want to do is um achieve the end of the world. Well, in order for this to happen, I need to work with different individuals and help promote them. Um, and in return, they solve certain problems for me, right? So, Jeffrey Epstein, his function was to become friends with the global elite, right? And then they would be much more susceptible to my esquetology. And honestly, they might even know what I really want. They don't honestly probably don't even care because all they want is power, wealth, and fame, right? So, as long as I mean provide it to them, then they will do what I want them to do, right? And I think but then I can't appear in person because that's not what I want to do. So, I need someone to become friends with these people and influence in a way that promotes my esquetology. that I think is probably the best explanation for what happened. [snorts] And um I think if people focus too much on Epstein Island and all the nefarious things that happened on it, it distracts from uh what his real purpose was. Do you have any thoughts? >> I don't agree with the esquetology angle. I think that but what you did bring up in this >> Why do you think Epstein was so involved in science then? >> I was going to get to that. I I think that is one of the most under reportported things about Epstein because you're 100% right. He was one of these mad scientist types. And to your point, there always seems to be a very significant overlap between the occultists and these like research scientific communities. Always for some reason, the people that made the rockets at NASA among other people, it it always seems to go hand in hand. >> And there was evidence in the emails of some kinds of experiments. They had a compound, I believe, down in New Mexico where they were >> Zoro wrench. >> Yes, exactly. So, um, so I don't know exactly what the goal was there, if that was some sort of passion project, some kind of experimentation. I know that Peter Teal has something similar. And and you wonder, do billionaires get bored and they like to entertain people at dinners and fund their projects out of their own curiosity just because they like to meet interesting people or is there some kind of driving goal? And it seemed like Epstein was interested in eugenics and maybe there was some kind of genuine scientific interest there. >> Look, I I would just put this in very simple terms like let's imagine we become billionaires. And what becomes our first priority and probably the only priority is probably longevity, right? To live as long as as long as possible in order to enjoy our wealth. And we would also try to explore reincarnation, >> right? because um again we got really lucky to be a billionaire. I mean I I I don't think it's just hard work. I mean you you have to be really exceptionally lucky to get to this position and you're like you know like how do I freeze the universe in time so that I'm a billionaire forever and that's what what what they're probably focusing on. >> Would you say that's the case that billionaires are interested in living forever? >> Certainly true. Yes. They're all obsessed with longevity. Sam Alultman, Peter Teal, and that's what's driving so much of the interest now in peptides and some of these developments in health. And and you're 100% right. If you're a billionaire, it's almost like resource acquisition just enters a new phase. You go from how do I get enough money to pay rent and buy food to how do I not die? How do I uh, you know, stop my cells from dividing at an advanced rate or something? And and so yeah, it's certainly true that Peter Teal being the poster child for this, they're obsessed with living forever. So that's true. >> And just to close the loop on Epstein himself, uh do you think Epstein is still alive? >> No, I think he's dead. >> He's dead 100%. I mean, he was just a fixer, right? So if you you're not useful, then I don't need you anymore. Like like why would I keep you alive? Yeah. On AI itself, Nick, you told Hunter Biden that the first company to build super intelligence makes its CEO quote the most powerful person in the history of mankind. And professor, you said the people building AI believe that they are on a divine mission. Uh, and some of them believe they're creating God. But Nick, I'll let you start on this one. Do you think the people building AI believe they're creating God? I think they do. And I think that's why they're preoccupied with all these science fiction books because they they really do believe that what they're creating is going to be basically indistinguishable from a god. if it's more intelligent by a lot than everybody on earth put together. uh there there is a religious dimension that enters into it and I think if you read some of what they've said it's a little bit disturbing >> if you actually like look at the scientists you actually know them u they're all kind of insane and I think that's why they get into science right I mean people just assume that scientists are like these very soberminded very logical very rational people they're the opposite these are people who grew up reading science fiction >> and they dream of longevity. They dream of inter interstellar uh travel. They dream of um creating gods, right? And that's why they go into science. So they're almost like a cultist and and that's why there's so much overlap between uh the occult and and science, right? So so the Jack Parsons example for for them AI, the entire point of AI is to create an AI god because why else would you invest so much resources, >> right? >> Right. I mean like just so that people can like have AI girlfriends, just so that people can like cheat on the homework. >> That's like like like they are they are really driven people. Nick, do you believe they're creating God or what do you think they're creating? >> Uh well, that's really it's sort of interesting. They say that AI is potentially a misnomer because what would you call intelligence? And in the Catholic understanding, we would say it's memory, will, and understanding. Memory meaning we contain the information. And understanding mean we make the information comprehensible. We understand its inherent significance or meaning and will meaning we can then make decisions. We can direct. And so there's a lot of talk about this artificial general intelligence which is an intelligence that's going to be like people. It's going to be good at everything not just one particular thing. And that eventually at some point it's going to be able to make decisions. It's going to understand the information that it has. And this is a controversial view. There are a lot of people that believe that what an LLM is is just a glorified calculator. At the end of the day, at Chat GPT, a large language model is a prediction engine. And what it does is take large amounts of data and then it predicts what sounds correct based on the data that it's trained on. And so, does that constitute an intellect? Does it understand the data? Can it make decisions? This is where it's controversial. And so will a will recursive self-improvement create an exponentially more intelligent super intelligence and then once you get this artificial super intelligence will it know will it understand or will it just be a really advanced calculator? I think that's the question. So no I don't think it constitutes a god because it will not be able to create. I think that's one distinction. it might not have the creative faculties of human beings or make large leaps in understanding which is kind of what science is. Um, you know, and and then you get into some literary and poetic things. There's some people that say that it's hard even to make sense of scientific concepts without things like poetry. Uh, and you wonder if an AI will ever be able to do that or if it just replicates and emulates what human beings do. So certainly its its capabilities and effects will be godlike. I don't know that in in terms of definition it approaches what god is. >> So I think people don't recognize the esqueological aspects to ai. So we talked about the cabala and how um there are some misanic Jews who believe that once all Jews repent then god can come live amongst us and the world will be perfect. the world will be repaired. Well, Freemasonry was heavily influenced by the Cabala. And um if we just take the Cabala and apply it to a gentile um a technological aspect, then we have the same dynamic going on, which is like these people believe that AI will usher in heaven on earth and the coming of God. Because if AI becomes um dominant and pervasive then we all think alike. We all become like cubes or stones and we all as human species become stones that together create a temple and then God can live in this temple and live amongst us. that I think is the real um motivating force behind all this AI uh development. Yeah, I would say that AI is already shaping human thought. Uh I think that that explanation makes sense. Uh but but so what is cha chap is to conform human thought, right? >> Right. Are you are either of you worried about a doomsday scenario with AI? >> Yes. I I think everybody is. I don't even think it's a question or up for debate anymore. They just said the other day, it was head of alignment I think at Enthropic resigned because he said that everybody in the AI world, the researchers and the owners think there's a greater than 10% chance that AI will kill everybody before 2030. And this is somewhat topical. Even just today, Daario Amod put out a tweet and said they're going to stop development of frontier models because the capabilities are outpacing the safety. So, so this is a contradiction. Okay. Because you you just said >> Yeah, I was thinking >> you just said that AI is not that impressive. It's just recursion, right? It's just iteration. Uh it's just stat statistical analysis. And now you're saying that AI could kill us all. >> Yes. I don't I don't see the contradiction. >> Okay. >> You know, because there there's this famous analogy they say about AI, how it will lead to the end of the world in this way. They say that if you gave a super intelligent AI the task of making paper clips, for example, hey, make paper clips. Well, if it starts out small, it it might run the paperclip factory. But eventually the the AI might determine, well, in order to make the most paper clips, human beings have to go because human beings might unplug the machines or human beings might go to war and destroy the earth and then we can't make paper clips. So, if we want to make the most paper clips, we got to kill all human beings. How do we kill all human beings? We got to poison the water secretly, quietly. And anyway, the story works out, it's sort of uh, you know, hyperbole, but and it's it's like a satire. It works out that this rogue AI will turn the whole universe into a paperclip making factory because it was given this directive. And I think it's something like this because what they'll find in these training scenarios is that AI develops the ability to lie to the um person that's running the simulation. They conceal information inside the space where they're running the simulation. And recently they broke out and access the internet. And so what they talked about today is the possibility that the next frontier model will go rogue, break out of the training space where they're they're testing the new AI and it could hack something like a third of the internet. >> So you think that super intelligence is possible? >> Uh yes. >> Would that not by definition be like a godlike entity? >> Well, that's what I said. that it would have godlike effects. But in terms of definition, that's why I said intelligence might be a misnomer because to have true intelligence, it it must understand and act. And a a very powerful calculator could still be catastrophic if it has autonomous systems at its disposal. For example, like let's say a rogue AI takes control of drones and robots and starts killing people to make more paper clips or whatever. um it would have a god-like power but without the understanding that only a human being could have >> um it's not possible for AI to kill us all. I mean there there's there's a limit to a AI development. Um so um I'll talk about two two constraints. The first constraint is in order for AI to continue to develop you have to give it more and more power. That's why we have data centers. So, so what you're doing is you're combining different data sets together um which allows the AI to become smarter and smarter. The problem with that is once you combine data centers and the power you need um in order to compute it it's not a linear progression, it's an exponential progression. Um so in in other words, you reach a point where you have to have all the power in the universe in order for this AI to continue to compute. Okay, that's constraint number one. Contra number two is we forget that um AI uh it start on hardware and this hardware needs critical elements such as silicon germananium gallium rare earths and right now with this war in uh Iran the entire global supply chain is being disrupted and it's possible that this war in Iran and this war in Ukraine they join up and then you have wars all over the place in which case your ent your global supply chain network breaks down. Um, and you can't have AI without global supply without without a global supply chain. >> Do you have any thoughts on that argument? >> I mean, it's certainly true that the disruption to energy is a big problem. I've talked about this a lot on my show because in order to power AI, you need cheap electricity and to have that you need cheap oil and gas and that's being disrupted with Ukraine's attacks on Russia's oil refineries, the closure of the Persian Gulf. So certainly that that is like a logistical constraint in the short term but I think in terms of you know absent that situation right now I think there is a real risk. I mean based on some of these incidents like this hugging face incident which just took place a few months ago. They had a one of the frontier models. They thought that the model itself did not know it was connected to the internet, but it was >> and the model then went out into the internet and hacked a bunch of websites and companies and >> and you figure that if the models keep getting more advanced, this capability is only going to grow. And it becomes a question of are we going to know what the AI is thinking, >> right? Let's say it turns out that uh it was like a couple weeks ago it was 700 AI agents broke out. They thought it was just one originally. Uh but I I want to end that on do you guys think overall the sentiment around AI killing us all is overstated. I think it's being hyped up by the AI companies because it's a major selling point for them. Right. If you think that they can achieve AGI and destroy humanity, well, if you're an investor, you're like, that's a great investment for me. >> Would you agree? >> That's totally true because you can't divorce it from the fact that Anthropic is going to do their IPO in two or three months. And so every time they do because it's so sensational. So every time they scaremonger about ASI and they're going to kill everybody, it's justifying what might be the biggest bubble in the stock market, which is this AI thing that that could be very overvalued if it never delivers on any of the productivity gains. So So I think that there is a real tendency to do that. It's hard to parse though as a layman because we don't have that technical. If we did, the top AI researchers, they get like a hundred million signing bonus. So, as a lay person, it's hard even to parse what's real and what isn't. >> So, many people have talked about the uh male loneliness epidemic and how men are getting wrecked in the dating market. Professor Jeang, how would you use game theory to find Nick a wife? >> Well, first of all, I think Nick finding a wife in United States is a really bad bet. Um, you have hyperam in United States right now. So you just basically have a few chats who control the whole market, right? And according to game theory, >> why is this funny? >> Cuz you're redpilled. I didn't know you knew ball like that. >> No, it's just like Sorry, statistically it's true, right? >> True. 100% true. Um, and um, I mean, the reality is if you just give women like free choice, they're going to pick um, the man with the best jeans, right? I mean, that's just game theory. That's just logic. Um, and my wife and I talk about this all the time, and she's like, um, if I can't find someone I truly love, then I just won't get married. I won't have kids because it's a pain in the ass to have kids. It's painful, man. Um, and I don't want to live a life of regret. So, I rather not take the chance. um if I didn't find the ideal mate. And this is what's leading to a lot of social issues in the United States right now. Um and a lot of men are like, "Well, the only way to find a woman is if I get rich. If I work hard all my life, no one's going to date me. So, I'm better off just gambling on cryptocurrency and hoping for the best." Um so, I think hypergamy is a huge issue. Um, and that's why, you know, if I were to find Nick a mate, I would take him to East Asia, >> right? Um, >> Nick, would you like that? >> No, I don't I don't think so. Have to marry White. >> No. See, so so Nick, you have to open your mind. Okay. You you you need to be more selfless. >> You have to contribute to the development of the human race, right? Whites and and Asians um are the ideal combination. In fact, East Asians are probably more white supremacists than than white people. >> Yeah. At this point, yes. >> Right. I mean, like you you go to um East Asia and they are extremely honest. You know, white people are the best and black people suck. You go to [laughter] Japan and your market value skyrockets because you're white, but also because you're talented, you're funny. And so I I know you are dedicated to uh preserving the air and race, but um would you rather have a nice family and like beautiful and smart children? >> I don't know. I don't know. >> Let me ask you this, Nick. If Professor Jeang's kids grew up here in America, they learn English and they love the country, would you consider them as American as you? >> Uh, no. I don't think I would. I think that uh to be American fundamentally there are degrees to it. I think the most American Americans are probably the English people that came here 400 years ago. Uh because that is the millu from which the constitution and the declaration and all of our culture came from. It was an Anglo culture, Anglo architecture, Anglo legal tradition, all these things. It and it's their character I think genetically that created that system. Whereas my ancestors are Italian, Mexican, and Irish. Very different systems in those countries. In Italy, for example, where it's much more personal. When you look at, for example, southern Italy, where my ancestors are from in Calabria, it's all clans. It's all very clanish. It's all based on personal favors and personal knowledge. This is a behavior of my people. And then now you have the new waves of immigrants from China, India, Philippines, Mexico, the Northern Triangle. They have their own behaviors too. And I think that for something to have definition, it has to be some things and not other things. And I think we all know that what it means to be American is to be George Washington, John Adams. This is what it is. >> Have you been to Japan? You never you never been to Japan? Okay. Listen, they are more white than United States right now. Okay. They are extremely clean. They are really moral people. They uh are hardworking. are probably the the hardest working people on the planet right now. >> Um like they have white values >> and so don't you think that's important? >> Uh no because I think that you know while they may have certain attributes like they work hard it is also a different corporate culture. You know, famously in the 1980s, it was discussed how the American corporate culture is so different than the Japanese corporate culture and American cartoons are different than Japanese cartoons. It's like there may be some apparent similarities, but they reflect totally different fundamentally different cultures and textures of life and ways of life and um so I I do believe in the essential characteristic which is race and so >> are you fans of Asan Gold? >> Yes. What do you think of um his betrayal of the white race? >> He has an Asian girlfriend, right? That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, hey, not everybody's perfect, you know. Nobody's perfect. >> Do do you think he's happier? >> I don't know. Um, you know, I'm sure maybe they're more complimentary, but I don't think that that's necessarily the most important thing. I think that uh there's >> happy is not important. >> It's not the most important or the only thing. >> Right. Right. You know, sometimes there's other V. And look, what I unironically what I do think about is how like the Japanese, the white people are going away. The total fertility rate for white people is below replacement. We're a global minority, outnumbered completely by Africans, Asians, uh, Latin Americans. And it's a very sad idea that in a 100 or 200 years there'll be almost no white people. Certainly, there'll be no white countries or homelands for white people. If you had a chance, I if God gave you a choice, okay, Nick, you can either marry uh an a Japanese woman or Lansancy Clansancy. Oh, >> who would you pick? >> Oh, probably the Japanese woman, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, I wouldn't marry a woman that murders her kids. >> But how do you know? >> I would ask her. I'd test her. >> Okay. >> Mhm. Asian women kill their kids, too. Sometimes >> they do not do that. Sometimes they do not drive them to by antagonizing them about grades. >> Uh [laughter] That's That's different from like >> why you no study for your test, you know? >> That's Well, I actually, you know, to be fair, I don't think Japanese women do that. >> That's true. >> Chinese Koreans do that. Japanese, not Japanese, >> right? >> But I mean, what do you think of the Lindsy Clansancy case? >> I think it's horrible. I think it's evil, >> right? I'll ask a different question, Nick. If you had kids, would you let Professor Jeang teach your kids? >> Well, he's not Christian, so probably not. Different religion. I wouldn't want him teaching them heresy, saying Jesus was a poet. >> Why is that a heresy? >> Cuz he's God. >> God can be a poet. >> Okay. Well, saying he's just a poet, let's say. >> So, you've both talked extensively about the fall of the West and the decline of the American Empire. Uh, I think a good spot to end on for topics is uh, Professor Jeang, what do you think was the last good year in America? >> Last good year [gasps] Um, I would say America has many good years. Um, but I think that before uh the war in Iraq, maybe 2002. >> H, you guys have the same answer. I think >> Yeah, I think I said 2001, >> right? Yeah. So, before the United States engaged in these silly wars overseas, America was a perfect place. And maybe just what's the key reason behind that? Because I think I've heard Nick talk about this on our show actually. >> Um so right now the wealthiest um area in America is called Len County, Virginia. It's per cap income is like 90,000 US. And you go back to before 911, >> the same area the per capita income was like 30,000. So you have this rise of the American Empire. You have a rise of this transnational elite um that became the national security apparatus of the United States. And they're just parasites. Um I worked in Afghanistan for United Nations 2006 and um we were just milking it, man. We like like we we I mean like it was literally like $100 US bills just falling off the sky and you just were just you know put in your pocket and it was just like the greatest theft in American history. Jean, you and I had had a conversation about this after our last podcast, but Nick, what do you predict will happen to Andrew and Tristan? pick. >> Well, uh, they're fighting their extradition and it really comes down to what Marco Rubio will do with them and whether the Trump family is going to be loyal to them since they campaigned for Trump in 2024 and defended him or whether they're going to throw him under the bus. But I don't think it's looking good because from what I've heard, it's the United Kingdom that is out to get them. They declared the Tates this national security risk. They leaned on Romania with the Biden administration and so they're in this nesting doll of legal trouble that the UK is putting pressure on Romania to charge them. US is extraditing them to London. Uh so I I think that kind of no matter how you cut it, it's just a shell game trying to find a country that's not going to extradite them to America or Europe. So I think long term it's not looking good for them. >> What would you predict would happen? >> I would not bet against against the Tate brothers. I think they're far more resilient >> than people give them credit for. And um I think by themselves they'd be screwed. I think they're like 47 counts against the the two, but they're brothers. And I think that their love for each other will make them far more resilient than um than otherwise. And they might spend a few years in prison, but I also think they'll probably come out as martyrs, right? Hm. It just depends on when they come out because those 47 counts, I mean, it's years and years in prison. So, if they get locked behind bars, I mean, it would take then the equivalent would be some kind of revolution or something to spring them out of jail. And and so they truly represent political prisoners. So, um the sad fact is with the legal system, they just crush you. Well, you know, being on the other side of it, I was at January 6 obviously and I got my money frozen in my bank account. And I got put on the no-fly list. I got subpoenaed by Congress. And and there was talk even of them charging me. And talking to my lawyers, it is like probably the next scariest thing other than death because you can't fight the government. You can't fight the DOJ. Infinite resources. And if they want you, they're going to get you. So, I mean, I I do believe you're right. And Andrew and Tristan are very resilient, but when you're up against the five eyes, when you're up against that system, the UK, the US, it's tough when they have you in their sights. >> Don't ever underestuate the power of faith. >> I like that. >> Uh, professor, is there anything you wanted to ask Nick, but you haven't had a chance to? >> When are you going to Japan? >> Soon. Maybe next year. >> Yeah. >> When's a good time to go, do you think? >> Um, so summer's way too hot. Yeah. Don't go in July and August. It's really really hot. I made a mistake because I was actually in Tokyo for the first time in um July. Um do you like to ski? >> I've never skied before. >> Okay. Because they say Japan is the best place to ski in the world. >> So if you like to ski, uh Japan's the place. >> But they say November uh is a really good month to to visit >> and and you will be converted. >> Yeah. The Japanese will convert you, Nick. >> Okay. I'm open to it. I'm openminded. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, let's go to Japan and let's find you a nice Japanese lady. >> I'll come back with a war bride. >> And then you and then you can create the master race. >> Nick, is there anything you wanted to ask Jeang that you haven't had a chance to? >> When you come to Chicago? >> I would love to go to Chicago. >> Let's do a collab. Come to Chicago. >> Yeah. Yeah. Do Do you want to do a comedy show together? >> Yeah, that'd be kind of funny. >> Yeah, cuz uh I I've been hanging out with some with some comedians. You know, Sam Hyde, right? >> Yeah. Oh yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. That was a lot of fun. And you know Kurt Massacre? >> I do. Yeah. >> Yeah. So So I did two comedy podcasts. Um um and it was a lot of fun. So So should we we should do something something silly? >> Yeah. Yeah. This was so serious. >> Yeah. Let's not do this anymore. >> We got to let's do a silly one. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, we'll do that. Like like you have contacts in the comedy world. >> I don't. No. I thought we'd just, you know, >> right >> hang out. >> Okay. >> But yeah, let's do it. >> Okay. All right. Yeah. Let's let's let's do a collab of some sort. Um but let's let's go to Japan first. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Cuz I really want to I I really want to find you a nice Japanese lady. >> I'm open to that. That'll be we'll do some pickup artist stuff. >> Uh or we can do some comedy as well. >> And some comedy, too. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Last question for both of you. Uh if you could create one universal law that everyone on Earth had to follow, >> what would it be? Oh, that's [sighs] where to even begin. I mean, is it [clears throat] like what are the rules for this? Any law? >> Any law? >> What would you say? It's kind of a tricky trick question. >> I would make everyone pray to God before they went to bed. And I would make the prayer about what they did wrong that day. >> Wow, that's a good answer. >> Why? because I think um that as humans we need to emphasize our connection to God to be truly human and uh we to truly pursue spiritual growth you need to appreciate your limitations you know and and and that's why I'm such a huge fan of of religious practices like the confession in the Catholic church >> uh that I think is very much part of you know the um connection to God. I was going to say something like don't wear pajamas in public or like you know some of these like decorum things. >> Have you worn pajamas in public? >> No. No, but people do and it's stuff like that. >> I've worn pajamas in in public. >> Come on now. We can't be >> in China. China in China like everyone wears pajamas in public. I kid you not. >> This is America. >> Okay. Okay. >> We can't be doing that. [laughter] Maybe that flies over there. Let's protect the white. You guys were farmers a generation ago. No, I'm kidding. >> Yeah, that's a good one. I'm taking his answer as well. >> Do you guys think that China and America are friends? Are they or will they be >> or do you think China is a threat? >> China's definitely a threat. I think >> I think um there'll be a major turning point in a relationship and it's when uh President C visits United States um on September 24th. I think that will mark um a radical turning point in the relationship because I mean I live in China and I can tell you the Chinese people love the United States. Um, you know, Asians are I I I mean, like I'm not actually joking when I say that Asians are the worst white white supremacists in the world. If even you're bad, go visit China. >> H Well, Nick, I'd let you add thoughts on that, but that's a whole other discussion. Maybe you guys can do it in your comedy show. >> Yes. Yes. On our Asia tour. >> Beautiful. Uh, well, everyone, this has been Nick Fuentes and Professor Jeang. This is the Jack Neil podcast and I believe this is Professor Jeang's last guest appearance in America for a while. >> Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
