Yes, and if there’s one thing Trump is well known for it his morals and values.😂 Jesus Christ you Trump apologists are laughable. The status quo needs to be changed, but Trump is not going to be the one to do it and never was. He’s just using this opportunity to stay out of jail and steal everything that isn’t nailed down, just like you did the first time. But keep telling yourself that voting for a con man who doesn’t give a shit about what’s important to you is going to somehow bring about change. The problem with this past elections that there were no good choices, but Trump was the worst of the two. The status quo is terrible but at least there’s a possibility of change with a better candidate. But Trump is definitely not that candidate and he will throw this country into chaos and ruin. I’d rather have four years of stability where I’m unhappy, but the country is still run by competent people until we can get a good change agent candidate on the ballot versus letting the inmates run the asylum and watch the entire thing crash and burn. But you voted for him and you got your wish. Let’s see how the next four years turn out for all the things you care about. I hope I’m wrong. But I fear that I’m not.
Clock this..... I just stole it. @enigmalfidelity 5 months ago (edited) In 2015, i was a liberal. I decided to watch the enemies rally. See what the fuss was about. I watched a 3 hour Trump rally. It was exactly as one would think it was. Amazing. Later, I watched the John Oliver and Stephen Colbert takes on the rally. Thats when i realized what was up. Completely chopped up segments. Words forced out of context. Insults that made no sense if you watched the rally. It was a joke. It took me about a week of real critical thought to finally reach the conclusion that "I was on the wrong side". Havent looked back. Thank you Oliver and Colbert. You saved me!
Nick is absolutely right. Truthfully, as unjust as the 2020 election corruption was, we as a nation needed to experience a candidate like Biden to wake up and see the corruption.
Yep. Some people have noted that if Trump would have won in 2020, he would have been saddled with his old administration full of deep state operatives and establishment Republicans. We would never have gotten the MAGA avengers team of Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan if Trump had won the 2020 election. He would still have had Mike Pence for VP and Mike Pompeo for Secretary of State.
Except NO ONE has yet presented any proof, whatsoever, that election was stolen. Ask Sydney Powell. Trump lost, plain and simple. Just like Biden lost, plain and simple.
I am Finnish and pretty left compared to most americans, but even I could this result from a mile away. The democrats went WAY too left with their identity politics and such. Average american does not give shit about those issues when they can't afford to buy food for their family.
Greetings from America. As an American I'm screwed as we are supposed to be the melting pot. It's not easy being an American. What I don't get is the Irish, the Scots, you Finns, etc., why do you want to allow your country to be transformed into an African or Middle East type country? You build beautiful societies but want to allow people to destroy it and replace you? I just don't get it. Yemen should be a good example, the people don't want to assimilate into your culture they want to replace your culture and turn it into the country they ran away from. You, identifying as a leftist Finn I am really interested to know why you want to be replaced? Do you really feel the diversity will really make you stronger? BTW do you dislike Polish people? Do you really dislike the Russians? ( I ask because you joined NATO, which I'm hoping Trump pulls us out of that the elite social club) Have a great day!
I think many of us care a lot about those issues, but we are very opposed to the Democratic take on it! They spent 4 years encouraging racism by encouraging minorities to demand privledges while calling all white people (and asians, depending on the issue) of being racists! Of course there is backlash from people who do not discriminate! We want all people to be able to feed their families and we see the government spending millions to pay for illegal migrants' food and shelter. This hurts _all_ Americans by spending money intended for services to Americans on others! It's not racism to not want money spent on migrants! It's spending our taxes on what they're intended for! And so on and so on.
Well I school they now teach us kids that men can give birth. My human sexuality class was such obvious lying propaganda that it woke my friends and I up to reality. 10% of my graduating class here in far left Massachusetts is trans. That’s fine, the gay boys can live as girls and the lesbians can say they are boys. I can still be friends with them and respect them. But when school starts saying a girl really actually can literally be a boy… That’s a bridge too far. I can say a trans girl is a girl but in a friggin book they shouldn’t be literally saying that they see girls. I mean I call them girls but I don’t actually think they are girls. No one on earth literally thinks Rachel Levine is a girl. We just pretend to. Even Rachel Levine knows that he’s a man asking to be called a woman. No amount of propaganda can make me actually see Elliot page as male. This conversation is every day in school, We had an assembly every time someone changed gender and we’d have to all clap for them as they introduced their new self. Every room had trans posters in it and every day we’d be taught gay history and not western civ. Most the teachers were lesbians. It wasn’t public school. It was far left socialist indoctrination and it was so blatant that every day I’d laugh and it and then by days end be fed up
You nailed it. We were also told Biden is sharp as a tack, by Harris, the DNC and media. In effect…you’re not seeing what you’re seeing. Most Americans HATE this kind of fraud.

Some people needed to experience it to realize that it's as bad as we've been telling them it would be, or worse.
Yeah! I have a voice in my house saying that to many things that are happening right now! And congress just "tolerated" one of those things by "approving" that a trans man uses the women's bathroom! What about saying NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! You are a man, use men's bathroom! I don't care what you wear, or how much make up you put in your face! NOT EVEN IN CONGRESS! It's time to stop playing "dress up!"
We went from conservative/liberal as a near direct overlap with Right/Left (strictly constitutional federal government/bureaucracy) to the Left going so far to the extreme that even most of the more traditional liberal perspectives, finding themselves right of center. Conservative and liberal didn't really move. The Left just moved so far to the extreme that they put many who were traditionally left of center to find themselves right of center. The line got longer. Left moved and liberal did not.
This video really hits on how systems just keep feeding themselves, and it totally reminds me of how the military-industrial complex works. Like, think about companies like Raytheon or Lockheed Martin-they make billions selling weapons to the U.S. and its allies, while places like Russia or China do the same thing through their state-run industries. It’s just this never-ending cycle of ‘keep the conflict going because it makes us rich.’ Look at the Iraq War-sold to everyone with lies about WMDs, and who ended up benefiting? Defense contractors and companies like Halliburton while regular people paid the price. Even now, with Yemen, we’re selling weapons to Saudi Arabia knowing full well they’re committing atrocities. But hey, it’s all about that bottom line, right? It’s wild how fear drives the whole thing. Scare people enough, justify spending, create conflict, rinse, repeat. This video’s point about systems becoming self-sustaining really applies-wars don’t just happen, they’re fueled because someone’s always making bank while the rest of us deal with the fallout.
I agree. Look at the rhetoric concerning Russia/Ukraine. Trump says he wants to stop the killing. Everyone else out there pledges more and more support for Ukraine. Meaning more dollars to war mongers. One thing Russia placed on the table about peace was Ukraine not being allowed to join NATO. Look closer at that. NATO started as a way for Western Europe to resist possible Soviet aggression. The Soviet Union went away over 30 years ago. Since that time NATO has grown until they are now right on Russia's border. And NATO members are supposed to spend 2% minimum of their annual GDP towards military. Add all that up and it shows the influence of those war mongers. I like to imagine things. One quote comes to me fairly often when I do that. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." What would happen if we actually stopped preaching hatred toward Russia and looked into allying with them? So we lay out a laundry list of things they need to change to join NATO. What is the harm in trying peace for a change? The harm is to the war mongers bottom line. I am fine with that.
I get your point but you also still have to recognize there is bad people out there too. A strong military will still be needed until that’s no longer true. What needs to stop is intelligence agencies doing bad things that encourages chaos around the world.
True in my case anyhow. I hadn't a care for Trump, never watched his show, heard about him once in a while in news bites. But the more the GOV/MSM disrespected and lied about him the more respect and concern I had for him.
The presidential choices we were being given were experience, strong leadership, and proven abilities vs. an empty cup. It's both amazing and disturbing how many on the left voted for the empty cup.
The thing is, sociopolitical mores are a pendulum. The further you push it to one side, the bigger the backlash. That the left pushed hard enough to get people like me to actually invest in campaigns? I never did that before; but this time it seemed that important. Obviously I'm not alone. What draws me to Trump, (despite the mean tweets) is that he a) actually tries to do what he says on the campaign trail and b) he keeps getting the establishment to prove that they are the problem.
And it has 110% support from the activists to the media (both entertainment & news) to the President himself on every single outlet they own. No debate, no discussion, no persuasion, just this is what you need to believe.
sudden because Trump, in his first term, put their plans back about 10 years. they had to try to make up for lost time to fit in to the new "world plan". If Clinton wouldve won 2016 she wouldve moved steadily to the left and the last 4 years wouldnt have been such a shock.
Nick I’ve been watching for awhile. Love your views and ideals. It’s common sense. We need people like you leading this country. Love the funny shorts too brother🤣Thank you for your service to our country and its people🇺🇸💪
It's the economy. That's it. There's a few different ways to look at it, but the bottom line is that people are worried about the economy and so they wanted a switch. I'm sure some voters were swayed by culture war stuff, but not everyone is glued to the news cycle, so I don't think those things register as much with swing voters as big ticket items like the economy.
We can't truly fix the economy until we figure out our cultural values as a nation. Tuning out only encourages the Left entrenching themselves deeper into the culture war. Personally, I'm in favor of getting the conservative base to rethink its own idealism so the Left calms down.
@@Flight042 And I think the same basic principle held in 2020. In the middle of the pandemic there was a lot of uncertainty, and Trump's leadership was erratic. People wanted a switch. Pundits are going to overanalyze, but I'm mostly convinced presidential elections are largely determined by the level of stability at the time of the vote.
I told so many people when he was elected the first time that he put his trust in wrong people and I said...God please open Trump's eyes and mind that he MUST NOT put his trust in anyone from the swamp, and thankfully it seems he got God's message.
The republicans electing Thune over Rick Scott for senate majority leader is not a good sign. Personally, I think for the next 2 years, all I want out of the senate is a rubber stamp on everything Trump wants. Nobody voted for Rinos to uphold the status quo. I swear to God they better not blow this opportunity we have to fix the entire system.
There is objective Truth. Laws should be based on that Truth. Governmental authority should be used to establish AND ENFORCE laws based in Truth. Governmental authority should be exercised as closely as possible to the oversight of the people who live under its laws and authority. This idea, that government is limited and restricted in scope to only those things it MUST do at its level, is a key underpinning of the structure of the Constitution and our system as a whole. This is why things like the Department of Education need to be abolished. Education should not be administered or controlled above the COUNTY level, not even at the State level, as its to far removed from the point of impact. Some things, like national defense, interactions with foreign powers, border control, common weights and measures and currency, all fall under a Federal control as they by need involve some or all of the States. But SO many things are either duplicated or simply should not exist and should be phased out. Having someone who is willing to do that will be a MASSIVE turning point for our country as a whole and I pray nightly that Trump is able to follow through on it.
I’m optimistic for real change, but the slim House majority will hamstring putting bills in place. Hopefully, the President can embarrass members into getting something done.
Yes, I cringe every time I hear people say the 'elites' too. So please stop using it. At least add to it, 'self-appointed elites', 'all-knowing elites', 'unelected tax funded elites' etc.
Please, if Pete Hegseth can’t get the confirmation, step up. Seriously, please. Florida needs to remain a bastion of sanity, regardless of the weather. DeSantis still has time on his contract with (not just his contract with the people of Florida, but because oof, bastion of sanity..) I would be okay trusting you with that task. Not even close to kidding!
The second man of the show hit the nail on the head with regards to libertarianism. I feel like at the end Nick just wanted to be a contrarian. Nobody was talking about right wing authoritarian. His friend was just pointing out that in libertarianism you simply aren't allowed to defend a position. Libertarians don't understand the most important point that power abhors a vacuum.
No one really listens to the celebrities for major desiciones as a whole except to buy their music or follow their fashion trends . For example ,My daughter “loves “ Taylor Swift” yet as a first time voter , She ( not I as a father ) decided to vote for Trump despite her endorsing Kamala . Blessings to all.
You're right, but what I find perhaps most amazing is the number of Democrats who don't think Harris went far enough to the Left and that's why she lost.

My theory on why Trump kept so many insiders the first time was that he thought they knew what they were doing and that ultimately they would be like him: that they loved the country more than their own egos. He learned that that wasn't true at all, and so now he's coming back in and doing it his way. And I'm more than fine with that. I may not love everything he does or everybody he picks, but he's yanking the steering wheel away from the cliff's edge, so I'm not about complain that we might hit a rock or two in the process.
Some of the things the Democrats said made me wonder if they were secretly part of the RNC, not Trump, but any other Republican making sure The Donald became president.
"The farther people stray from God the more they are guided by the worst inclinations of human nature." Traditions exist as a limitation upon the more base and animalistic desires of human nature. The more technologically advanced we get; the more we are capable of mitigating the deliterious effects against the personal and group impacts of these inclinations, the more difficult it becomes to justify the traditions, yet the more important these traditions become to ensuring a truly free people, for without God within the hearts of man guiding their decisions, the boot and club of the government necessarily will fill that role. Nick doesn't notice his inconsistency when he claims he is for a government that advances certain behaviors and curtains others if they are morally good or not, but he well about-face and prattle about 'authoritarianism' never recognizing that he justified authoritarianism... as long as it's moral.
How about calling it "the politically tenured" or perhaps "the politically advantaged" would be better, seeing as how some get 'advantaged' really quickly.
The way it works when things start going good for people, economy and society people then feel financially secure and start going back to everything is feelings politics.
What do you think of enacting laws making it illegal to lie/deceive on a public forum. I'm thinking about everything from advertising to accusations of collusion with Russia. Tens of thousands of people are legally robbed of the equity in their homes. Millions of dollars are wasted on products that don't perform as advertised. And millions of dollars are spent chasing down the truth about accusations and nothing is done to the perpetrators.
No. It is everyone's responsibility to do their own due diligence. Once you infringe on free speech you open pandoras box and crooked politicians will abuse it.

Good message. Say it louder for Mitch, Cheney and Lindsey.
So now we need to clearly identify the RINOs, and overwhelm their influence until we can vote them out!
You should apply to DOGE... you sir are the perfect candidate. Someone with a backbone!
The thing is, sociopolitical mores are a pendulum. The further you push it to one side, the bigger the backlash. That the left pushed hard enough to get people like me to actually invest in campaigns? I never did that before; but this time it seemed that important. Obviously I'm not alone. What draws me to Trump, (despite the mean tweets) is that he a) actually tries to do what he says on the campaign trail and b) he keeps getting the establishment to prove that they are the problem.
We The People Have Spoken - No more non sense and crazy ideas on what we should accept as normal.
The trans plan:
It wasn’t sudden because of coincidence.
It was sudden because it was a complete plan enacted on all facets of society.
And it has 110% support from the activists to the media (both entertainment & news) to the President himself on every single outlet they own. No debate, no discussion, no persuasion, just this is what you need to believe.
sudden because Trump, in his first term, put their plans back about 10 years. they had to try to make up for lost time to fit in to the new "world plan". If Clinton wouldve won 2016 she wouldve moved steadily to the left and the last 4 years wouldnt have been such a shock.
Nick I’ve been watching for awhile. Love your views and ideals. It’s common sense. We need people like you leading this country. Love the funny shorts too brother🤣Thank you for your service to our country and its people🇺🇸💪
Conservatives can and will be recalled if they don’t get on board
?
You should have put the word conservatives in quotation marks.
or primaried.
@@B.A.B.G. Recall is a way to remove a person from office.
It's the economy. That's it.
There's a few different ways to look at it, but the bottom line is that people are worried about the economy and so they wanted a switch. I'm sure some voters were swayed by culture war stuff, but not everyone is glued to the news cycle, so I don't think those things register as much with swing voters as big ticket items like the economy.
Yup. Nothing swings voters like not being able to afford groceries.
We can't truly fix the economy until we figure out our cultural values as a nation.
Tuning out only encourages the Left entrenching themselves deeper into the culture war.
Personally, I'm in favor of getting the conservative base to rethink its own idealism so the Left calms down.
@@Flight042 And I think the same basic principle held in 2020. In the middle of the pandemic there was a lot of uncertainty, and Trump's leadership was erratic. People wanted a switch. Pundits are going to overanalyze, but I'm mostly convinced presidential elections are largely determined by the level of stability at the time of the vote.
@@nathanmarone I agree. I've often made the case with people that if COVID hit a year later, Trump would have easily won re-election in 2020....
I told so many people when he was elected the first time that he put his trust in wrong people and I said...God please open Trump's eyes and mind that he MUST NOT put his trust in anyone from the swamp, and thankfully it seems he got God's message.
Discern Elon Musk better. I don't trust every "angel of light" disguise that shows up on our screens.
Were not talking about classical liberalism when we are speaking against liberals
As a non-american it always frustrates me when Americans use liberal as a synonym for progressive.
Nick Freitas for DoD Secretary!
Nah, he's too valuable as an influencer.
The republicans electing Thune over Rick Scott for senate majority leader is not a good sign. Personally, I think for the next 2 years, all I want out of the senate is a rubber stamp on everything Trump wants. Nobody voted for Rinos to uphold the status quo. I swear to God they better not blow this opportunity we have to fix the entire system.
Yeah, never give an inch for neo-conservatives or RINOs.
Sadly we've been giving them countless wars and record deficits.
Excellent video Nick. Spot on.
Preach!
Completely agree🙏
So true Republicans need to wake up
There is objective Truth. Laws should be based on that Truth. Governmental authority should be used to establish AND ENFORCE laws based in Truth. Governmental authority should be exercised as closely as possible to the oversight of the people who live under its laws and authority. This idea, that government is limited and restricted in scope to only those things it MUST do at its level, is a key underpinning of the structure of the Constitution and our system as a whole. This is why things like the Department of Education need to be abolished. Education should not be administered or controlled above the COUNTY level, not even at the State level, as its to far removed from the point of impact. Some things, like national defense, interactions with foreign powers, border control, common weights and measures and currency, all fall under a Federal control as they by need involve some or all of the States. But SO many things are either duplicated or simply should not exist and should be phased out. Having someone who is willing to do that will be a MASSIVE turning point for our country as a whole and I pray nightly that Trump is able to follow through on it.
I just hope they run the same "flawless" campaign in 2028
I’m optimistic for real change, but the slim House majority will hamstring putting bills in place. Hopefully, the President can embarrass members into getting something done.
Great to find your channel!! Just when I thought I was subscribed to all the best ones.
AS GOOD AS TRUMP WAS FOR THREE YEARS FROM 2017 TO 2020, HE WILL BE EVEN BETTER FROM 2025 TO 2029.
HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE AND WILL MAGA.
Yes, I cringe every time I hear people say the 'elites' too. So please stop using it. At least add to it, 'self-appointed elites', 'all-knowing elites', 'unelected tax funded elites' etc.
We absolutely voted him back in to het back to freedom.
I don't have time to watch your livestreams. Id love to see more clips like this. ❤
Thank you, Nick
"Safe, legal, and rare" was always a lie, everyone knew it, and everyone who said it is a liar.
1/3 lie. They consider that close enough to the truth.
Joel Salatin is brilliant. I hope he will find a place to serve in this administration.
Love the shorter format
I really hope they never ever change. It'll cost them just as badly in 2028 if they don't...
Get rid of government agencies and replace them with nothing! YES!
Evil always ends up turning upon itself and destroying everything while Good always unites. This is why Good always wins in the end.
Please, if Pete Hegseth can’t get the confirmation, step up. Seriously, please.
Florida needs to remain a bastion of sanity, regardless of the weather. DeSantis still has time on his contract with (not just his contract with the people of Florida, but because oof, bastion of sanity..)
I would be okay trusting you with that task. Not even close to kidding!
The second man of the show hit the nail on the head with regards to libertarianism. I feel like at the end Nick just wanted to be a contrarian.
Nobody was talking about right wing authoritarian. His friend was just pointing out that in libertarianism you simply aren't allowed to defend a position. Libertarians don't understand the most important point that power abhors a vacuum.
No one really listens to the celebrities for major desiciones as a whole except to buy their music or follow their fashion trends . For example ,My daughter “loves “ Taylor Swift” yet as a first time voter , She ( not I as a father ) decided to vote for Trump despite her endorsing Kamala . Blessings to all.
Nick, you are such a smart man....
You're right, but what I find perhaps most amazing is the number of Democrats who don't think Harris went far enough to the Left and that's why she lost.
I wish the GOP would adopt the moniker of the party of common sense instead of the Conservative Party!
In short, scorched earth.
"Leftism is a universal ideological solvent." I like it.
It was hard to vote for good candidates when there weren't any good candidates.
And I wish I were half as well-spoken as Nick is.
Here's my rule on most every relationship you have, and this applies to politicians especially: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them... THE FIRST TIME!"
Karl Rove and The Cheney's can hit the damn road and continue kissing the Establishment's Ass!

Go Nick We can rule righteously! Biblical.
Fekless FEKLESS. im not playing scrabble with you.
Good thing... because you spelled feckless wrong.
@sociopathmercenary caught that did you 😅
Well said Nick. You really need to be in Trumps cabinet.
Trump! Vance! Kennedy! Tulsi!
Vance already has my vote in 2028...
I’m perfectly fine being called a transphobic bigot 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ so done with the delusion left !
Nick for President!!
Freitas pushing back for classical liberalism against the cryptostatist guy was 👌
My theory on why Trump kept so many insiders the first time was that he thought they knew what they were doing and that ultimately they would be like him: that they loved the country more than their own egos. He learned that that wasn't true at all, and so now he's coming back in and doing it his way. And I'm more than fine with that. I may not love everything he does or everybody he picks, but he's yanking the steering wheel away from the cliff's edge, so I'm not about complain that we might hit a rock or two in the process.
All too true.
Some of the things the Democrats said made me wonder if they were secretly part of the RNC, not Trump, but any other Republican making sure The Donald became president.
"The farther people stray from God the more they are guided by the worst inclinations of human nature."
Traditions exist as a limitation upon the more base and animalistic desires of human nature. The more technologically advanced we get; the more we are capable of mitigating the deliterious effects against the personal and group impacts of these inclinations, the more difficult it becomes to justify the traditions, yet the more important these traditions become to ensuring a truly free people, for without God within the hearts of man guiding their decisions, the boot and club of the government necessarily will fill that role.
Nick doesn't notice his inconsistency when he claims he is for a government that advances certain behaviors and curtains others if they are morally good or not, but he well about-face and prattle about 'authoritarianism' never recognizing that he justified authoritarianism... as long as it's moral.
There is no such thing as right wing authoritarianism.
GOD LOVES NICK FREITAS!!!!!!!
God loves everyone. This is beside the point.
@danielsjohnson thx4thelulz
How about calling it "the politically tenured" or perhaps "the politically advantaged" would be better, seeing as how some get 'advantaged' really quickly.
Had nothing to do with going too far left...HARRIS was just a COMPLETE loser who had NO right even running for President.🤣🤣🤣
Sylvester popping up in add for salt trick! Continually! How broke is he?
When’s the trial ???
The way it works when things start going good for people, economy and society people then feel financially secure and start going back to everything is feelings politics.
Hey Nick, curious about your thoughts on Pete Hegseth pick
YES!!!
“Neoliberal” means pro-corporate capitalism, free trade, few subsidies, etc.
Oh, and the Left are frustrated by the Culture War, too, when it drains too much oxygen from making an economy that serves more people better.
scorched earth salt the fields
Respect...
Trump was super smart to get Laura Trump on RNC/GOP.
When millionaire are yelling at me to be worried about billionaires and I can pay for gas. Please! God bless President Trump and God bless America!
The swamp is in Big Trouble very soon! 1/20/25 come on! 😅❤
Was this part of another video? Can anyone point out which one? I think I missed it.
What do you think of enacting laws making it illegal to lie/deceive on a public forum. I'm thinking about everything from advertising to accusations of collusion with Russia. Tens of thousands of people are legally robbed of the equity in their homes. Millions of dollars are wasted on products that don't perform as advertised. And millions of dollars are spent chasing down the truth about accusations and nothing is done to the perpetrators.
No. It is everyone's responsibility to do their own due diligence. Once you infringe on free speech you open pandoras box and crooked politicians will abuse it.
Agreed.
Sometimes at that moment you have to choose between lesser of the 2 evils. Vote republican or democrat, vote party you want in power.
Is that Tim pools old studio?
God bless robert e lee and all the confederacy!big government is not the parent!
