00:18:17.000Kinda rough for Christians, particularly for Christians.
00:18:21.000Been rough for conservatives, been rough for the white man, but you know what?
00:18:25.000Times like this, we really have to save or we really have to celebrate.
00:18:29.000Somebody was posting, I think I saw on Twitter, that you haven't seen this much salt on Twitter from blue checks, from liberals, since the election.
00:18:49.000In the spirit of good faith towards people of all IQ quintiles and quartiles, I'm going to break it down so well for you.
00:18:58.000We're going to give you the baby take and we're going to give you the high IQ take.
00:19:03.000Because I feel like when I talk about foreign policy, there's a little bit of a disconnect.
00:19:08.000I know that probably the majority of the audience just isn't on the level intellectually quite to understand my takes.
00:19:16.000On foreign policy, on geopolitics, you do not quite have the grasp on the subject that is required.
00:19:23.000So, typically when I talk about foreign affairs, when I talk about foreign policy, I'll get a lot of upset people in the comments, a lot of upset people in the live chat.
00:19:31.000So, you know, today as I'm watching the Iran situation unfold, and I see it so clearly, the calculus, it's so easy to me!
00:19:41.000But I thought, you know what, I'm going to make it a little bit easier for you tonight, the audience, and I will give you the expected baby take, and I think that should satiate everybody, you know, who wants exactly what they're looking for tonight.
00:19:55.000But then I will also, at the same time, give a little bit more of a nuanced take that you can expect typically from America First.
00:20:46.000I feel like there hasn't been any overarching narratives.
00:20:50.000You know, that's really, I think, where America First shines, is when we can keep an eye on a lot of different moving parts that are relating to one another, like, you know, the government shutdown, and the Israeli elections, and these grand narrative arcs.
00:21:05.000And over the last couple of months, we haven't really had that.
00:21:07.000It's just like sporadic little events here and there, a mass shooting here, a mass shooting there, you know, a law is passed, whatever.
00:21:14.000So now we have the Chinese trade war, we have this tension with Iran, and I think that's really kind of giving us a sense of purpose.
00:21:22.000It's giving the show a little bit of a narrative drive, you know?
00:22:52.000seen so few babies born and it's an ongoing slump.
00:22:55.0002018 was the fourth consecutive year of birth declines according to the provisional birth rate report from the CDC.
00:23:03.000From 17 to 18, the numbers of birth fell 1% for Hispanic women and 2% for non-Hispanic white women and also 2% for black women.
00:23:14.000The Census Bureau has long predicted that America's future population growth will increasingly rely on immigration, despite a fertility rate that has historically been higher than similarly developed nations.
00:24:25.000How do you even wrap your head around a figure like that in terms of an average person that is tangible to your average person in practical terms?
00:24:35.000But if you break it down temporally, well, $3.8 billion for a year, or $100 per second, and hey, the seconds add up, and I think the same is true when you look at the population, maybe you hear 1.5 million immigrants
00:26:10.000Now, if we ignore the Jewish part for just a moment, you know, we talked a little bit about that on other shows, but if we ignore that little part for just a moment, the idea of population replacement, for years, and to this day, when the media addresses so-called white nationalists, white separatists, white identitarians, or even reactionary claims about population replacement, they treat it as though it's a conspiracy theory.
00:26:37.000They say, oh, they're not replacing you.
00:26:43.000These are irrational fears stoked by fringe extremists.
00:26:48.000And so you have that on the one hand, right?
00:26:51.000And understand, like, that's really what it's all about.
00:26:54.000This past three years where they try and label Donald Trump a white nationalist, and you can't talk about immigration, and you can't talk about South Africa,
00:27:02.000And you can't talk about race and IQ, and we're banning people from the platform, and all the rest.
00:28:22.000And that's in spite of the fact that we bring in millions of people from third world countries that have a birth rate of 2 or 3.
00:28:29.000You know, that's the most interesting thing.
00:28:30.000If you look at how the fertility rates have evolved over the last 40 years, they actually were at historic lows in the 1970s, lower than they are today.
00:28:38.000And then they skyrocketed back up to baby boom levels.
00:28:42.000When you bring in millions of people from Mexico, and you bring in millions of people from India, and China, and then from Central America, where the birth rate is 3 or 4,
00:28:52.000Well, it gives you a little bump, and now everybody's going back down.
00:28:55.000Now the fertility rate's going back down to historic lows.
00:29:29.000So the babies will come from other countries.
00:29:31.000They called Steve King a white nationalist for this for years because he said we can't make Western civilization great with other countries' babies.
00:29:39.000Isn't that exactly what they're proposing?
00:29:41.000Isn't that what the Census Bureau is saying?
00:31:38.000There's stories about this kind of stuff every day, and they say it's a conspiracy theory, but you have to remind people, no, this is what it is.
00:31:56.000A little conventional stuff there, but we're gonna get to our current events.
00:31:59.000We'll talk about Iran first, and so I'll read off sort of the current situation you guys know, and to give you a little background to kind of set up how we got here.
00:32:10.000Iran was never the focus of the Trump administration, and as somebody who's been watching politics for a while, it's actually interesting how things have evolved in that regard.
00:32:20.000If you paid attention during the Obama years, particularly in the second term,
00:32:24.000The focus of that administration was on the Middle East, particularly on Iran, on the Iran nuclear deal, and really for the past, you know, I guess from 2000 to 2016 because of 9-11.
00:32:35.000And because of Middle Eastern terrorism and Israel seizing upon America's State Department to implement the Clean Break agenda, we have been focused on and fixating on the Middle East.
00:33:49.000It's Al-Qaeda, it's Saddam Hussein, it doesn't matter, there's no distinction.
00:33:53.000Shiites, Sunnis, we're kicking ass, you know, 9-11.
00:33:56.000So all that's happening, and we've been watching, and I've been talking about this for the last couple of weeks, China has been, it's like bigger than exponential, it's just like straight up.
00:34:05.000Four trillion dollars that we have given them with trade deficits in the same time period.
00:34:10.000That we've been fighting and scrapping with these Muslims and Turban people.
00:34:14.000They've been rising because we've been asleep at the wheel on trade.
00:34:38.000China over Russia and Syria, you know, because it has truly been the pivot to Asia that was promised in the Obama administration but never came about.
00:34:46.000So that's a little, that's just a little meta type stuff on where we're headed, some of the larger trends here.
00:34:52.000But now I think that Trump has got a handle on North Korea and China, you know, we've had this rapport that's been built with them over the last two years and that's been the focus.
00:35:02.000Now it seems like we're shifting a little bit back towards Iran.
00:35:06.000So last year we tore up the Iran nuclear deal.
00:35:09.000It was around this time last year that the president went in.
00:35:12.000It's the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action put together by the, excuse me, by the Obama administration with John Kerry, with the Iranians.
00:35:20.000Also you had Russia, China, France, the UK, and Germany involved in that process.
00:35:25.000And basically what that deal sought to do was impose limits on Iran's nuclear program, prevent them from getting a nuclear capability, in other words getting the capability to build an arsenal.
00:35:36.000So that's not preventing them from getting a weapon, but preventing them from even having the capability to build a weapon.
00:35:42.000And in exchange for that, we gave them sanctions relief.
00:35:45.000We tore down the international sanctions regime that had been built up over decades.
00:36:14.000So Trump went in and he tore up the nuclear deal last year, and the rhetoric was very important because I think this set the stage for Trump's Iran policy.
00:36:29.000We want a deal, but we want a better deal that prevents you from getting a nuclear program, but also prevents you from building missiles.
00:36:36.000Prevents you from expanding your influence in the region and solves the short-term conflicts in Yemen and in Syria.
00:36:43.000And in exchange for doing that, for making this increased deal, we are going to make Iran a rich nation.
00:36:48.000We will be able to integrate Iran into the international system and they can be wealthy.
00:36:53.000But, in the meantime, we're going to impose crushing sanctions.
00:36:56.000We're going to do our best to bring the international sanctions regime back.
00:37:00.000And that means imposing sanctions on companies that do business with Iran.
00:37:04.000So one of the main criticisms of the Iran nuclear deal was that, you know, having sanctions from Iran from America on Iran is easy enough to put back on Iran.
00:37:13.000You know, if we say, okay, we're gonna take our sanctions off, but if you do bad things we can put it back on, that's pretty easy.
00:37:20.000What's much more difficult about the Iran nuclear deal is we told all of these nations that were a part of it,
00:38:11.000In the toilet, you know, inflation is high, their currency is failing, their economy is dying and so on, that there's mass unrest and you see that the Islamic regime falls there, or they make a deal.
00:38:23.000Enough pressure is generated that they come to the negotiating table and we make a deal on our terms.
00:38:54.000The State Department ordered non-essential personnel to leave the country from the U.S.
00:38:57.000Embassy compound in Baghdad and a U.S.
00:39:00.000consulate in Erbil in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
00:39:03.000The order affected about 30% of the staff or several hundred people in all.
00:39:08.000The uptick intentions came nearly two weeks after the White House warned of what it described as potential targeting of U.S.
00:39:13.000forces, allies, and interests by Iranian security forces and their proxies.
00:39:18.000In addition, the Pentagon has sent the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Task Force and Air Force B-52 bombers to the region and dusted off contingency war plants, according to...
00:40:24.000Mr. President, you ran saying Iraq was a mistake, and remember when you tweeted in 2012 that Obama would go to war with Iran to win re-election?
00:40:34.000This is not what you promised, and this would be a big mistake.
00:40:39.000Regime change in the Middle East is a big mistake.
00:40:42.000Big wars in the Middle East are too expensive, and they cause lots of casualties, and they're not in our interests.
00:40:49.000We know why the State Department wants regime change in Iran.
00:40:54.000It's because of the Clean Break Memo written in 1996 by David Wormser, Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith.
00:41:02.000They all ended up in the State Department.
00:41:04.000The Clean Break Memo that they wrote for Bibi Netanyahu said in order to secure Israel's northern border we have to destroy Syria and Lebanon and ultimately Iraq and Iran.
00:41:15.000The people that wrote that memo got in the State Department and then we saw war with Iraq and war in Syria covertly with the CIA and we're still there.
00:42:34.000They would make it as bloody and as expensive as possible.
00:42:37.000The terrain makes the war very difficult.
00:42:39.000Somebody said to me once in an email, they're like, you know, you've been saying this for a long time, but times have changed when I say that desert and mountain is tough terrain.
00:42:52.000Clearly, this is still difficult terrain, right?
00:42:55.000So, for a variety of reasons, war in Iran would be bad for our interests, would be too expensive, too costly, a political mistake, a political betrayal.
00:43:06.000Now that said, all of that said, if we can grow up and be adults and entertain things for a moment, let's look at the Trump administration.
00:43:22.000I feel like every, it's like my 51st dates, it feels like every show we have to go back and litigate, you know, the past three years, the past 50 years or whatever.
00:43:32.000These people have short-term memory loss.
00:43:34.000Does anybody remember in April of 2017 when President Trump began his diplomacy with North Korea?
00:43:43.000Did it start by him saying, I love Kim Jong-un and we have no reason to fight a war and we're going to become best friends?
00:43:50.000Or did it start by him saying, we will unleash fire and fury the likes of which have never been seen?
00:43:57.000And he sent three carrier strike groups to the Sea of Japan to do a patrol.
00:44:03.000And he said, if North Korea wants to nuke us, they can go ahead, because we can nuke them bigger, and our nuclear button actually works, and there was missile tests, and we were doing missile tests, and the report I read actually from two weeks ago about Mattis, Mattis himself said that the President, during this diplomacy two years ago, actually ordered the Defense Secretary to withdraw
00:44:29.000All diplomatic people from South Korea so as to send a message to North Korea that they were serious about their threats?
00:44:36.000Mattis actually ended up ignoring that threat, so that's why we didn't read it at the time.
00:44:40.000But two weeks ago, the report from The Hill said that Donald Trump gave the order and said, hey, you have to pull out all of our consulate and embassy people from South Korea so that we can scare North Korea.
00:44:51.000You have to call up a big military meeting with John Bolton and all these other people to scare North Korea.
00:44:59.000We saw that throughout this diplomatic process, it was bellicose rhetoric, it was gestures, missile tests, pulling people out of embassies, this kind of thing.
00:45:10.000It was, you know, all... But at the same time, despite the bellicose rhetoric, despite the gestures and all that, at the same time it was always, what is our endgame?
00:45:57.000Now you fast forward two years, and what do we have happening?
00:46:01.000Trump says, Iran doesn't want to come to the negotiating table, because if they don't, there will be suffering in Iran, the likes of which have never been seen.
00:46:11.000And we're going to send a carrier there.
00:46:24.000We're going to send 125,000 ground troops there.
00:46:28.000And there's this fight going on in the White House between non-interventionists and hawks.
00:46:32.000And there's a fight going on in media.
00:46:34.000Trump, please, don't go to war with Iran!
00:46:39.000And everybody just goes along, please, Donald Trump, don't go to war.
00:46:45.000So, like I said, on the one hand, if this is all legitimate, if this is all super serious diplomacy, and when Trump says, I'm going to send 125,000 troops there, if we're to take that at face value and be super serious,
00:47:00.000And, you know, engage in context denial, then I would say this is a big mistake.
00:47:05.000But if it is the latter, and it is another bluff, it is another one of these, you know, kabuki geopolitical theater type episodes, as it was with Syria, as it was with North Korea, as it was with Venezuela, ultimately, as it was with all these different countries, then I would say let's see what happens.
00:47:31.000I think that's a legitimate debate to have.
00:47:33.000Is it even in our interest to prevent Iran from having a nuclear program, or a missile program, or expanding their influence in the Middle East?
00:47:40.000I think that's a legitimate debate to be had.
00:47:42.000But, you know, what I don't agree with is when people try to say, you know, we have to, and if you don't take everything that Trump says about this, you know, these kinds of geopolitical routes,
00:48:17.000You know, people like to, uh, you know, if you say that you have this overlapping interest, people like to pretend that, no, you're only looking at it in Israel's interest or you don't know about it.
00:48:29.000And we've talked about that for years and what a disgrace that is.
00:48:31.000That Bibi Netanyahu will go on Twitter and he'll do videos in English telling the American people about how the Iranian people need to be liberated and all this kind of stuff.
00:48:41.000And there is a big push from the Jewish media and from the Zionists for war in Iran.
00:48:46.000Ben Shapiro, this has been his life's work, his life's mission, is to get America to go to war with Iran or to get America to change Iran's behavior.
00:48:54.000That would be a horrible thing, going to war with Iran.
00:48:56.000But using our leverage to change Iran's behavior so that we can stop nuclear proliferation?
00:49:02.000I don't think that's the end of the world.
00:49:03.000And actually, I think nuclear proliferation is against America's interests as well.
00:49:10.000They want all the countries in the Middle East destroyed.
00:49:13.000They say as much in the Oded Yanan strategy for Israel in 1980.
00:49:17.000They wrote up a plan and saying, we want to create this mosaic of tribes with flags across the Middle East.
00:49:24.000And like I said, the Clean Break Memo says we have to start with Iraq, and then Syria, and then Iran, and then ultimately we can destroy Lebanon, right?
00:49:34.000But using our leverage to prevent nuclear proliferation, to prevent countries from developing nuclear arsenals, and then having this domino effect of other people getting nuclear arsenals to hedge against those countries, you know, that's a problem for America and for people that say, well, why don't we just become friends with Iran?
00:50:19.000And it's not so simple as, there's not a good reason for us to be fighting, so let's be friends again.
00:50:24.000Because you have such a thing as this security dilemma, or the prisoner's dilemma, game theory basically, which says, how can they trust that we really mean what we say?
00:50:33.000We have to build up our trust with them again.
00:50:38.000How can we trust that Russia will go along with what we want to do?
00:50:42.000We know that in spite of the fact that maybe it was America's fault, you know, that we expanded NATO all the way across Eastern Europe and to Russia's frontiers and that obviously provoked Russia, but in response to that Russia has been duplicitous and deceptive and they've worked against our interests.
00:50:57.000So on both sides there has to be a recognition that we need to come together and trust has to be built and rapport has to be built and this takes time.
00:51:04.000And so when people say, oh, well, we just should be friends with Iran and Israel's real, we have to disarm Israel.
00:51:31.000A diplomatic revolution of flipping all the axes of international alliances upside down and on their heads, that's something that's a bit of a challenge.
00:51:40.000That's something that I think is in the realm of the unrealistic at this point in time.
00:51:52.000Where they overlap, it should be pursued.
00:51:54.000You know, it's not worth it for us to invade, but is it in our interest if we just apply maximum economic pressure and they can't develop one?
00:52:02.000Or we get them to come to the negotiating table?
00:52:04.000Is that a bad avenue to go down if we were to judge just that one trajectory?
00:52:09.000Would that be something that is worth pursuing?
00:52:13.000Because people don't understand it's Iran gets a nuclear arsenal, and the Saudis have said if Iran gets a nuclear arsenal, then we'll get a nuclear arsenal.
00:52:20.000And people on our side have admitted Saudi Arabia is the one that is sponsoring terrorism more than Iran.
00:52:26.000You know, our State Department says Iran's the number one state sponsored terrorism.
00:52:30.000Everybody knows it's the Saudis, right?
00:52:32.000So would Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates getting a nuclear arsenal, would that be in our interest?
00:52:37.000Would that be a good thing for America and the world?
00:55:38.000The bill's sponsor, Representative Terry Collins, said the bill is a direct attack on Roe vs. Wade and anticipates that the bill will be contested by abortion rights advocates like the ACLU and potentially make its way to the Supreme Court.
00:55:51.000The sponsor said that that's actually exactly the point.
00:55:55.000And that's what they aim to do, is to get Roe v. Wade overturned and then ultimately have an effect nationwide on the state of abortion as a constitutionally protected right.
00:56:36.000Or I'm pro-life, but I don't like the bill.
00:56:38.000So that's on the one hand, you have that argument.
00:56:40.000On the other hand, you have the idea that, you know, although this bill is a victory in itself, in my opinion, ultimately the endgame is that that'll probably get struck down by a district court or, you know, by a local court and eventually make its way up to the Supreme Court.
00:56:55.000And the ultimate goal is for it to overturn Roe v. Wade.
00:56:58.000For the Supreme Court to hear this case, because we have enough justices now on the court,
00:57:03.000Then we'll be able to overturn it and make abortion illegal in all 50 states.
00:57:07.000Now, what I really want to focus on is the former.
00:57:10.000I think we all agree with the latter, that Roe vs. Wade being overturned would be huge.
00:57:32.000My nose is itching a little bit because of my allergies.
00:57:35.000That's the whole reason that you get conservative justices.
00:57:37.000So I think that's basically uncontroversial.
00:57:40.000You're not really going to hear anything new about that, I don't think.
00:57:43.000But what I want to focus on tonight is the former argument, where a lot of people have been saying, a lot of the response to this bill has been, I'm pro-life, but I don't really agree with this bill.
00:57:53.000I'm pro-life, but that's a little extreme for me.
00:57:56.000You're not pro-life if you think this is extreme.
00:57:58.000The pro-life position says that abortion is not bad.
00:58:14.000It's not something that's like, well, you don't like it, or, you know, it's a little bit, it's probably inappropriate or unethical.
00:58:26.000The whole point, the pro-life agenda, you know, the pro-life position means that at the point of conception,
00:58:33.000The fertilized egg becomes a life just like another human person just like you know anybody walking around and if you kill a human person you wouldn't say oh well that's that's bad you know but uh but somebody going to jail for forever for killing another person that's a little extreme you can't kill a person for you know either there can't be exceptions to killing a person for x y and z well that's that's too harsh that's too extreme clearly you're not pro-life then
00:59:01.000And so, to me, that's the real focus there.
00:59:03.000That's, to me, when a lot of people start to show their true colors.
00:59:07.000Frankly, I've seen a lot of... I saw some televangelical... How do you say that?
00:59:48.000In Israel, it's not only legal, it's free.
00:59:51.000So, you know, you got a lot of evangelicals and you got a lot of conservative leaders and they're all about Israel, but they're against abortion.
01:00:12.000They think conservatives should be killed.
01:00:14.000And that's why they win, because they want everything that they say they want with all their might.
01:00:20.000They want it so bad that when they don't get it, they cry, and they get mad, and they go in the streets, and they smash windows, and they protest, and they get out there, they call the representatives, they volunteer.
01:00:41.000Every time they win, you know, and you can look at any victory over the past 50 years, whether it was Roe vs. Wade, or it was Obamacare, or it was gay marriage, or it's transgender bathrooms, or it's a confederate flag, it's always, this is a victory.
01:01:51.000Until we get a reactionary right that is the same way as the left.
01:01:55.000But on the other side, unless we get ride-or-die people who want with all their heart what they say they want, the conservative cause, the Christian cause, the moral cause,
01:02:04.000and they want total victory and when we win we don't say oh well we're gonna give a little bit of quarter to the left and oh well you know we're gonna moderate it a little bit we're not gonna crush them completely but people that will go further people say we won and here's how we're gonna now just start gutting these people we're gonna skin these people alive and we're gonna keep marching until there's none of them left you know and of course I'm speaking
01:03:49.000If you think about politics, less like coming together and holding hands, but more like a team sport, imagine you have two teams on a soccer team.
01:04:41.000The team that only passes to their own people, and the team that passes half the time to their own team, and another half of the time to the other team.
01:04:48.000It's going to be the Democrat team every time.
01:04:50.000And that's a perfect analogy for what happens.
01:06:06.000I don't necessarily agree with Disney's decision to rehire James Gunn or I don't necessarily disagree with the NFL's decision whatever but I defend their right as a private company or whatever.
01:06:18.000You know they will always carry water for the other side in the spirit of
01:07:10.000You know, it's a genocide, basically, being waged against babies, against the unborn.
01:07:15.000And so any step that we can take, I think that validates the Trump administration, honestly.
01:07:19.000You know, the Trump administration has been incompetent on a lot of things, but if we can get somewhere on abortion, that makes him a good president.
01:07:26.000That makes him a very godly president.
01:08:47.000So Chicken Parm is actually ultimately more rewarding, but the Big Mac is like a cheap thrill.
01:08:52.000You know, there's something to be said about cheap thrills.
01:08:55.000Life is long, and yeah, we want that deeper satisfaction, but there's something to be said about the simple things, the cheap thrills, little enjoyment.
01:09:03.000Now, you can't make that your whole life, but I'm a big believer in that.
01:10:46.000We just found out about all this stuff and we're mad and you know we found all this alternative information we can't trust the media and we just want to do something and so we've tried to do the project has been sort of refined a lot of that into a coherent sensible worldview moderated a little bit
01:13:38.000I used to do wrestling at the high school.
01:13:40.000Like not not cool pro wrestling where you're doing choke slams and clotheslines like like the amateur like collegiate kind of wrestling and it was it was so it was weird for me because you know
01:14:35.000We'd do the practice moves and we'd do matches.
01:14:37.000And I didn't really have a big problem wrestling with him because it's like, I know this guy, I'm comfortable with him.
01:14:42.000But then when he wasn't there, because sometimes he wouldn't show up, it would be like, okay, now you got to wrestle around with this other person.
01:14:58.000You know a fight is like striking you know it's it's for a brief I guess the two elements of fighting is striking and then grappling you know there's the upright but then ultimately it gets to a grapple and that's I guess like kickboxing and jujitsu but uh but the wrestling that you're doing it's just like this prolonged and just like so I was a little much for me so jujitsu I don't think is gay I think if any one of them were to be you know a little bit there I think it would be the amateur wrestling it was a little too much for me
01:15:27.000Cause I was a big fan of pro wrestling.
01:15:29.000So I was like, that's not why I started doing the wrestling.
01:19:13.000James Russell says the difference is that there's people like Bolton and Pompeo in now, hell-bent on destroying Iran without anyone in the admin wanting to talk to Iran.
01:19:23.000Except Pompeo literally said himself we don't seek war with Iran.
01:19:27.000And actually you're wrong because John Bolton got into the State Department as a National Security Advisor the April before the June summit with North Korea.
01:20:01.000If the Ho's are mad, you gotta send it our way.
01:20:04.000James Russell says, but yes, I understand your argument.
01:20:06.000It's just that we can't compare North Korea to Iran, which our lobby is hell-bent on destroying more than North Korea.
01:20:12.000Yeah, I get that, but where's the sign that we're really serious about it?
01:20:16.000We wouldn't be telegraphing these moves if we were.
01:20:19.000You know, if we were gonna go to war with Iran, would we be saying, uh, we're gonna attack you, we're gonna attack you, we're evacuating our personnel, we're sending care, we're gonna blow you up, wouldn't we just do it covertly?
01:20:30.000For months, the situation was silent before the war in Iraq, to give us the element of surprise.
01:20:36.000So we would see the troop movements, we would see things, it would be a different story.
01:20:40.000D. Sharp says he fights for us, so true.
01:20:44.000Doc Daniels says I have bought the same Moroccan chicken couscous salad 43 times and for the past three times there's been more kumara than chicken.
01:20:53.000I'll be spending my salad money on Nick instead of globo salad.
01:20:57.000I don't know why you're eating that crap.
01:21:00.000The Moroccan stuff, I was never a fan.
01:21:02.000I think I've had Moroccan food, like, one time, and I completely forget when, but... I don't like this ethnic food.
01:21:09.000The only food that you need is, uh, European food, Asian food, and Mexican.
01:21:16.000You know, Italian... I don't know what continental European food is, but Italian food, Mexican food, sushi, I guess, Asian food, American food, but everything else, why, you know?
01:21:55.000Tyrone says, Nick trust me buying the link now up till $1 and sell targets at $15 to $20.
01:22:01.000Big price action estimated quarter 1 2020 because of European PSD 2 decline.
01:22:07.000Yeah, I've been following the Chainlink thing.
01:22:09.000I've been on biz the past couple of days and I've been seeing a lot of the Chainlink AstroTurfing, you know, and I've been watching the price and I heard about what is it the Chainlink Manet or ManMet or whatever it's called where they're going to
01:22:27.000And I don't even know what they're talking about.
01:22:29.000I go on the Chainlink website and it's like, it's a smart contract and blah blah blah.
01:22:37.000It's a smart contract and it's blah blah blah and it's connecting your refrigerator and your microwave and it's the bridge between crypto and I'm like...
01:22:46.000Yeah, I don't I don't have the technical language for this.
01:22:48.000So yeah, I've heard about it I know Sean has been pumping in and was I was up to like 80 cents the other night when I was looking at it So, I don't know.
01:22:56.000I'd have to do more research before I buy in But yeah, there's a lot of action and the Legend of Zelda connection you see that I don't know makes you think me magic perhaps
01:25:21.000That would be ideal, but that's just not practical right now.
01:25:24.000Price of Conquest says, probably going to sound low IQ, but based on your comments on Washington last night, do you think the farmers were satanic?
01:26:02.000I would say that a lot of the framers are good and, uh, actually pretty close to, like, a Thomistic vision of what government should look like in many ways.
01:26:10.000By the same token, very Masonic themes going on.
01:28:26.000They attacked the ship because it was a reconnaissance ship so that they could cover up what they were doing to the Egyptians because they had to move their forces up north because it was a multi-front war.
01:29:02.000A carrier group has so many ships and so many defenses, the only country that could even come close to taking out a carrier would be China and Russia.
01:33:25.000It seems to me like these victories are few and far between, so I wouldn't get too excited.
01:33:30.000It seems to me like this is more the dying gasp of...
01:33:35.000The conservative movement of Republicans, of white people.
01:33:39.000You know, whenever you see these tiny little victories, I don't mean to put a damper on things, but it feels like Trump, all this other stuff, in many ways is sort of the dying gasp of the old country.
01:33:50.000Because we know it'll get shut down by the courts, and is there a good chance it'll get overturned in the Supreme Court?
01:33:55.000I don't even know with the way things have been going.
