An American drone was downed in the Strait of Hormuz this morning, and I'm having the same reaction to it as the Israel lobby is to drones being shot down, and oil tankers blowing up, and missiles flying into Saudi Arabia at the same time, while the Israel Lobby and Boeing and defense contractors are all rubbing their hands watching this go down and saying, oh boy, here we go, this is going to cause America to escalate. I realize now that I too am doing the same thing for different reasons. I see the news coming up tonight, and you all know what I'm talking about. You know, it really is truly America First becoming a part of the military-industrial complex. Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. It's going to be only America First. The American people will come first, once again. America First, America First! America first, America first! - Nicholas J.

00:18:21.000I'm realizing that in the same way that the Israel lobby looks at drones being shot down and oil tankers blowing up and missiles flying into Saudi Arabia, at the same time while the Israel lobby and Boeing and the defense contractors are all rubbing their hands watching this go down and saying, oh boy, here we go, this is going to be really bad, this is going to cause America to escalate, I realize now that I too am doing the same thing for different reasons.
00:18:51.000I see the news coming up, right, and you all know what I'm talking about.
00:18:55.000The title of the show, we're talking about this American drone which was down in the Strait of Hormuz this morning or this afternoon, and I'm having the same reaction!
00:19:07.000An American drone down in the Strait of Hormuz!
00:19:10.000There's gonna be a lot to talk about on the show tonight, and there's gonna be a lot to talk about on the show tomorrow and the next week, and if we go to war with Iran, we'll have things to talk about for years!
00:19:21.000I'll be set for years, can you imagine?
00:19:23.000You know, so I'm actually, it's a little bit worrying, it's a little bit troublesome, you know?
00:19:27.000I'm starting to question, what am I becoming, right?
00:19:31.000No, I'm joking, but of course that is gonna be our big
00:19:39.000from the Iran story from the Iran saga yesterday and the day before obviously Tuesday we had the big Trump rally last night we talked about reparations but tonight we have another escalation here and of course we are referring to the American drone which was shot down by the Iranians today and this time the Iranians admitted it so if we go back to where this little story began
00:20:04.000If we really want to go back, we'd have to go back to 1979.
00:20:07.000But if we want to go back to the escalation in tension between America and Iran, this month we go back to the oil tanker last week, where it was just an American accusation that Iran blew up these two tankers
00:20:20.000And nobody had claimed responsibility, right?
00:20:23.000So there was a little bit of debate about a video that was presented.
00:20:27.000You had the owner of the Japanese tanker who disputed the claim that it was Iran.
00:20:31.000And we talked about that a lot on Monday.
00:20:33.000We talked about that a lot on Friday and Thursday.
00:20:36.000This time around, the American drone was shot down, but the Iranians are taking full credit.
00:21:30.000I'll tell you about exactly what happened, what kind of drone it was, how much it cost, what everybody's saying, what the Iranians are saying, what the Americans are saying, what John Bolton is saying, among others.
00:21:41.000There's been some other things happening behind the scenes with this Iranian story here, which people are not talking about so much, which is that there's a lot of missile warfare going on across the Middle East.
00:21:57.000But aside from that, and I think I mentioned this last week, there has been missile attacks on Iraq.
00:22:03.000There was another missile attack on an ExxonMobil facility in Iraq.
00:22:06.000There have been missile attacks in Saudi Arabia, which are believed to be sent over by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, which are called Iranian proxies.
00:22:15.000So there's a little bit more to the story than meets the eye, so we'll dig into all that.
00:22:19.000I'll tell you what's going on, give you a little analysis.
00:23:23.000But Muslims continue... I mean, this is ongoing.
00:23:25.000If you thought it stopped when Trump got into office, I guess now they just know how to clean it up better so that it doesn't cause backlash against the Muslim community.
00:23:33.000Well, there's a big terror plot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, an ISIS terror plot against a Christian church, which was fortunately foiled, but nobody seems to care about this.
00:25:00.000Apparently behind the scenes everybody has been telling him and begging him that he should not seek the nomination and of course that's because if you've been watching America First for a long time you remember our coverage of the Alabama Senate primary in December 2017 after Jeff Sessions was selected to be the Attorney General they had to hold a special election to fill
00:25:21.000Jeff Sessions vacated seat should have been an easy Republican victory because of course Alabama is about as deep south as deep conservative red conservative as you can get and it went to Doug Jones it went to a Democrat ultimately because Roy Moore effed it up
00:25:38.000And there's some other things that were going on there.
00:25:39.000A lot of people used to say this is the one prediction I got wrong.
00:25:43.000I, to this day, contest whether or not the results were actually legitimate.
00:25:47.000But, in any case, Roy Moore was believed to have lost because of this publicized sex scandal.
00:25:58.000They had a big sex scandal on Donald Trump in 2016, a big sex scandal on Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, and everybody came out to bat for, well, less so with Trump, but definitely for Kavanaugh.
00:26:08.000But with Roy Moore, he got left and hung out to dry by everybody, and I think that's ultimately why, if the results were legitimate, why he lost.
00:26:17.000So now they're saying you can't run, you're only going to ruin the contest, if you do win the nomination you'll probably lose the general again.
00:26:24.000And you know I saw a pretty interesting thread by a good friend of mine from Big League Politics, so shout out to him.
00:26:30.000He put out a little thread and he was talking about how behind the scenes what's really happening there, and again this is only hearsay, I'm not involved in these conversations firsthand, but I do suspect that this might be what's going on here.
00:26:43.000Uh, it was one of these threads, again, by one of my friends, uh, Diabrovsky, I think is how you pronounce his last name.
00:26:48.000I don't know how to pronounce his last name.
00:26:49.000It's kind of, it's kind of ethnic and foreign.
00:26:51.000But, in any case, he's a friend of mine.
00:26:53.000He put out this thread and he said the real reason why they're discouraging Roy Moore from running...
00:27:54.000I know a lot of people who support a Trump like Roy Moore, and that's because he's a real authentic conservative, and he's not a good candidate.
00:28:02.000He was not a good candidate at all, you know, and there were a lot of things going on.
00:28:06.000It was sort of a tough climate, but he wasn't good at campaigning.
00:28:11.000There were some issues, but he was a real conservative.
00:28:14.000On the contrary, some of the other people in the field for the Alabama Senate nomination back a couple of years ago, they were all establishing people with, I think, a couple of exceptions.
00:28:24.000So, I think there is definitely some kind of silent war going on in the GOP if it's not exactly what was described in that thread, if it's not exactly a handshake deal about impeachment or something like that.
00:28:37.000I think there's definitely something up that
00:28:39.000Mitch McConnell, Kev McCarthy, they are trying to push people who are not kowtowing the party line or towing the party line.
00:28:47.000They're trying to push them out and keep them out.
00:28:49.000So it's worth watching how that primary ends up because while Trump is not on, obviously he's not facing a primary challenge this year, you're gonna see the battle for the GOP play out regardless and I think a lot of the primaries for
00:29:04.000House and Senate for the next election.
00:30:13.000And he was going to pledge allegiance to ISIS.
00:30:15.000So, this is a little report from a local Pennsylvania paper.
00:30:20.000It says, quote, a 21-year-old Pittsburgh resident and Syrian refugee accused of planning an attack on a Christian church on the city's north side and providing resources to ISIS has been arrested.
00:30:32.000Mustafa Musab Alawamer, some Muslim Arab name.
00:30:38.000Who is 21 years old was arrested Wednesday based on a federal complaint charging him with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS and two counts of distributing information relating to an explosive destructive device or weapon of mass destruction in relation to a plan to attack a church.
00:30:58.000Mustafa, allegedly planned to bomb the Legacy International Worship Center using a weapon of mass destruction.
00:31:09.000The FBI said Mustafa thought he was plotting online and in person with fellow ISIS sympathizers, but they were actually undercover for the FBI.
00:31:18.000And so, this is nothing fresh, you know, this is nothing really new, this is not anything you haven't heard before, but it's just another reminder of what's happening in the country, who the real threat is, because it always boggles the mind, to me, and we've seen this a lot, I don't know if you follow these people, but characters like...
00:31:35.000Will Somers, Jared Holt, these sorts of characters, Christopher Mathias, people that write for Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Right Wing Watch, they really believe, they really believe, and they really want you to believe, that the big threat in America for terrorism, for violence, for gun crime, is white people.
00:31:54.000And just every time I see something like this, it just makes my head spin.
00:33:05.000That's a little bit of a joke, maybe in poor taste, but few and far between.
00:33:09.000But when you break down the actual stories, if you're following the news every day, if you're looking at the statistics, if you're looking again at any kind of systematic way and looking at any of these crimes, take your pick.
00:33:20.000The mass murder, the rape, shootings, anything like this, you find 9 times out of 10 it's a case like this.
00:33:27.000And it's fascinating because they always pull out the numbers because I've been in this conversation more times than I can count with journalists, with leftists, with my peers.
00:33:56.000And one of their favorite statistics they like to use is to show, and it's this BS bogus study, I think it's by the FBI or something, where it says that since 9-11, convenient starting date, it's like 50-50 white people and Muslims for terrorism, which is fascinating because we all know.
00:34:13.000And it's been said before, white people are 60% of the population, Muslims are 1%, right?
00:34:18.000So I see this kind of stuff, it just blows me away.
00:34:20.000Every day there's more censorship, there's more attacks on white people, baseless stereotyping of white people, negative generalizations about white people, and yet every day we see stuff like this.
00:34:32.000You know, we're still hearing about, and I got a call the other day from some, I'll tell you a funny story, I got a call the other day from
00:34:40.000A producer at NBCUniversal, and they said, hey, we're going to tape this pilot, and the subject is white nationalism, and we're going to talk about Charlottesville, and we're going to talk about the mosque shooting, and we want you to be on the panel to defend white nationalism.
00:34:55.000I'm like, that sounds like a great opportunity for me.
00:34:59.000That sounds like a great thing for everybody involved.
00:35:02.000Now, of course, I said I'm not a white nationalist, number one.
00:35:05.000Number two, Charlottesville was years ago, and so on.
00:35:08.000But, point being, people still, to this day, whether you look at any of the major mainstream media outlets, are still talking about New Zealand, still talking about Charlottesville.
00:35:19.000And it's crazy because since New Zealand, how many instances of either failed or successful terrorist plots by Muslims have we seen?
00:35:27.000You know, just off the top of my head.
00:35:29.000In the week after New Zealand, you had the shooting in the Netherlands.
00:35:33.000Which took place on a tram, I believe.
00:35:36.000You had an attempted school bus burning by an African migrant.
00:35:40.000And that was, it was not successful, thank God, but tried to kill 52 school children in Italy.
00:35:47.000You had one of the deadliest bombings in world history, in modern history, on a religious site in Indonesia.
00:35:54.000You had this episode I think there were a few a couple of weeks ago and so just in the matter of a couple of months off the top of my head you can count how many times there's been a Muslim terror attack either failed you know they got the guys or successful where you had exactly one mosque shooting one high-profile mosque shooting in New Zealand so it's just another instance of what we see just to remind you hey
00:36:43.000There is really a cyclical nature to the news.
00:36:45.000It's like, maybe every 10 years you get a Middle Eastern war, every 2 weeks you get a Muslim terror attack, every 9 months you get a white person that does a terror attack.
00:37:17.000We always got to give the deep background to last May when the Iran nuclear deal was torn up.
00:37:23.000And that really began the escalation of tensions between America and Iran.
00:37:27.000Because if you've been paying attention for the past so many years, things between America and Iran have been actually pretty good.
00:37:34.000Now, there are some people who would argue that things have been pretty good because Barack Obama appeased the Iranians.
00:37:40.000In doing the nuclear deal and giving them a big cash injection, allowing the sanctions to be lifted, this has allowed Iran to thrive in the region, sponsor proxies, militias in Iraq, in Syria, in Lebanon, in other countries, and I certainly think there is some validity to that argument, but nevertheless, things have gotten out of control, spiraled out of control, really since the nuclear deal.
00:38:03.000We withdrew from it, was not torn up, but since America withdrew from the nuclear deal in May.
00:38:08.000Things have gotten really out of hand.
00:38:10.000If things were bad before, things have gotten really bad since America stopped giving out waivers for their oil, for the sanctions.
00:38:18.000So after we pulled out of the nuclear deal, we put on harsh sanctions on Iran.
00:38:22.000We put harsh sanctions on any company, any country that does business with Iran, but we always exempted their oil.
00:38:29.000And that was, in large measure, due to its impact on the global economy.
00:38:34.000You limit the supply of oil that Iran is exporting, Libya is having problems with oil, Venezuela is having problems with oil, and you're going to hurt the global economy.
00:38:43.000And then you'll hurt the American economy.
00:38:45.000So we said for the time being, okay, you can continue to sell your oil.
00:38:49.000We're not going to really disrupt the gravy train.
00:38:51.000We just want to get things moving in another direction as far as sanctions go, as far as the nuclear program goes.
00:38:57.000But since May, those waivers have expired.
00:39:00.000And now there's full sanctions on the oil.
00:39:02.000We've upped the sanctions additionally on their heavy metals industry, which is very, I think that's their second biggest sector in their economy, so that's very punishing.
00:39:11.000We put sanctions on their Iranian, or rather their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is like unheard of, unprecedented.
00:39:18.000We've ramped up our military presence in the region, put 1,500 troops in the Middle East last month.
00:39:24.000We sent over a couple of aircraft carriers.
00:40:03.000The big development today is, according to CNN, Iran shot down a U.S.
00:40:07.000military drone today, further escalating the already volatile situation playing out between Washington and Tehran in the Middle East.
00:40:15.000Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it had shot down an intruding American spy drone after it entered into the country's territory Thursday.
00:40:23.000A US official confirmed to CNN a drone had been shot down but said the incident occurred in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most vital shipping routes.
00:40:33.000So this time it's a little bit different and this is where it becomes a little bit more dicey.
00:41:37.000We blew up a couple of empty facilities.
00:41:39.000And I'll never forget, one of the biggest problems people had with my analysis was, well, I said the strikes were justified because this was going to help our diplomacy with North Korea.
00:41:49.000And everybody said, well, maybe we didn't kill anybody, and maybe this is not part of an escalation against the Assad regime, and maybe, you know, this didn't materially change the situation on the ground, and maybe blah blah blah, but it cost a lot of money, but those missiles cost us $150 million.
00:42:06.000So I wonder if those same isolationist budget hawks, you know, they're budget hawks, because they're so concerned about missiles costing money,
00:42:14.000I wonder if those same people are going to come out and say, well, we've got to blow up Iran because that drone cost $180 million and that's a lot of money.
00:42:29.000Since then, the head of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Salami, which is his name, Hassan Hussein Salami, said the shooting down of the drone had sent a warning to the U.S.
00:42:42.000According to a statement by Salami in the IRGC it says quote the only way for our enemies to be safe is to respect our sovereignty, national security, and the national interests of the great Iranian nation.
00:42:54.000He goes on and says that Iran does not want war with any country but we are completely and totally ready and prepared for war.
00:43:02.000A statement issued on Thursday by the Revolutionary Guard.
00:43:06.000They said the drone was launched from a U.S.
00:43:08.000base south of the Persian Gulf shortly after midnight on Thursday.
00:43:11.000It said it flew from the Strait of Hormuz towards Chabahar, a city in southeast Iran.
00:43:16.000And they say, quote, while returning to the western Hormuz Straits region, the drone violated Iran's airspace and engaged in information gathering and spying.
00:43:26.000Which if you think about it, now I don't want to run interference for Iran, but let's gather the facts so far in this case, right?
00:43:41.000It's really impossible for us to know for sure, because of course both countries have a vested interest in the other side being culpable, right?
00:43:50.000If America was indeed flying the drone over Iran's airspace, well, we would naturally deny it, because if Iran blew up our drone, and that's seen as aggression and an offensive maneuver, we have a pretext to go to war.
00:44:04.000And we can adopt a defensive posture, a reactionary posture, that if we retaliate, we're well within our rights.
00:44:11.000If America was violating Iranian airspace or they were flying in international waters, Iran would not want to say that they had attacked somebody offensively because, again, then they would look like the aggressors and they would give America a legitimate casus belli.
00:44:25.000So both sides have a vested interest in lying.
00:44:27.000And this is why I can't stand a lot of people will either automatically side with America because they believe that, you know, the American government, of course, would tell the truth because it's our government, or they'll automatically side with the other government, whether it be Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, because America is a nefarious actor and all the other governments are purely nationalistic.
00:44:50.000They have lots of integrity and all this.
00:44:52.000I have always been of the position that you cannot trust governments.
00:44:57.000You have to sort through all the information and sort of evaluate it yourself.
00:45:01.000And so you could say that, will we ever know whether it flew over Indian airspace or whether it was shot down?
00:45:07.000Maybe the forensic evidence is out there.
00:45:09.000Maybe the people who scooped up the drone in the waters know who's responsible.
00:45:13.000But the American public, I don't think, will be able to discern this without a shadow of a doubt, you know, without beyond any kind of reasonable suspicion.
00:45:21.000So let's think about it in terms of circumstance.
00:45:24.000Let's think about it in terms of, you know, what is reasonable, what makes sense in terms of actors.
00:45:30.000If America sends in warships, if America sends in ground forces, America sent in this particular drone this weekend in response to the oil tankers being blown up.
00:45:59.000Would it not be the case that a spy drone, if it's intended to be undetectable, invulnerable, all this, it's sent in response to a alleged, what they claim is an Iranian attack, wouldn't it make sense that it would fly into Iranian airspace?
00:46:13.000I mean, I guess there's an argument that
00:46:16.000I mean, maybe they're just surveying the Strait of Hormuz and they're making sure that freedom of navigation is maintained so that commercial ships can go in and out and all that.
00:46:26.000But we've seen that there's a pattern of this with America.
00:46:29.000When China, for example, claims the South China Sea, what does America do?
00:46:33.000We sail ships right through their claimed
00:46:37.000When Russia claims land, or when Russia claims sovereignty over something, we fly our bombers over.
00:46:42.000When they say we're declaring a no-fly zone over a given country, we violate the airspace.
00:46:46.000So, I would just say, and I would just offer up, you know, in Iran's defense, if we're gonna be fair and balanced, that's what America First is about, it's totally outside the possibility that America was flying a spy drone in Iranian airspace, and therefore, if we violated Iranian airspace, who is the aggressor?
00:47:06.000If we're violating their airspace and they shoot us down defensively, can we legitimately say that Iran was aggressing us?
00:47:13.000If Iran was flying a spy drone off the coast of California and we shot it down, would there be any doubt in anybody's mind that Iran was the aggressor and we were well within our rights to shoot it down?
00:47:25.000Iran is saying we're ready for war according to, I think it's Article 51 of the UN Charter, we're well within our international legal rights to do this and so on.
00:47:35.000Moreover, you have to think about it in another way, we're assuming that everybody is playing by the rules, right?
00:47:43.000We're assuming that everybody is an honest broker, everybody is a nice and a good actor.
00:47:49.000And so if we're to say that America was just flying in international waters, or maybe they did trespass into Iranian airspace, we're assuming that this was all just a big mistake.
00:48:02.000We were flying this spy drone in the Persian Gulf and maybe it did fly into the airspace, maybe it didn't, but they shot us down and now we've got to escalate.
00:48:09.000Are we really going to pretend like there aren't very powerful forces in Washington DC that want us to go to war with Iran?
00:48:18.000That they can fly a drone, either in their airspace, not in their airspace, but if they just provoke Iran enough, eventually they will elicit a response, and if they get a response, they know what I just said, that the American public has no way of verifying if it was in their airspace, if it wasn't, and therefore, they can just push us into a war, they can escalate this, and nobody's gonna know what happened, nobody's gonna know the difference, so you have to think about these things.
00:49:37.000This provocation comes a week after they attacked and destroyed two commercial tankers in international waters.
00:49:44.000There must be a measured response to these actions.
00:49:46.000President Trump and his national security team remain clear-eyed on the situation and what must be done in response to increased Iranian aggression.
00:49:55.000In Congress, we stand ready to support our men and women in uniform, our country, and our allies in the region.
00:50:02.000Now Trump has told reporters that Iran made a very big mistake, but he also said he has a feeling that it might have been the result of someone being loose or doing something, quote, stupid.
00:50:13.000Additionally, beyond this, this is according to a report from the Daily Beast.
00:50:16.000Two senior officials and three other individuals with direct knowledge of the administration's strategy in the region tell the Daily Beast that the president has asked officials to tone down their heated rhetoric on Iran, despite the attacks on tanker ships in the Gulf of Oman.
00:50:31.000The president has previously said he is less hawkish on Iran than some of his advisors, and this week in a Time Magazine interview, he said the attacks on the tankers were, quote, very minor.
00:50:40.000So again, we're seeing the same things happening in the administration that we saw with North Korea, with Iran.
00:50:46.000With Iran it is slightly different, albeit it is a war, so in a way it's all the same.
00:50:51.000But you have this conflict, you have this relationship in the White House where we don't really know what's going on.
00:50:56.000In the sense that, on the one hand, an explanation for this debate that's happening internally.
00:51:02.000About how do we respond to these rogue states?
00:51:19.000So there's sort of two schools of thought.
00:51:21.000This is the ongoing dialectic that we hear is happening in the White House.
00:51:25.000And we don't really know, is this legitimate?
00:51:27.000Is it really that Trump has lost control of his administration?
00:51:31.000And every day it's a battle, a tug-of-war between him and more America-first type people and hawkish elements like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo?
00:51:41.000And every day we're just like, if Trump is exhausted we're gonna go to war, you know?
00:51:45.000And we're gonna lose that tug-of-war and it's all over?
00:51:48.000Or, on the other hand, is it that this is all just theater?
00:51:51.000You know, so this is a dialectic, but these are the two schools of thought on what is it that we're hearing out of the White House.
00:51:57.000Is it sincerely a struggle that's happening?
00:52:11.000They put out these very bombastic, bellicose sorts of pronouncements about what we're going to do in the region.
00:52:17.000They'll put out a statement, for example, like we saw last month that said, we're going to put 10,000 troops in the Middle East, and we're going to bomb all their nuclear facilities, and we're going to sink their navy, we're going to be celebrating in Tehran by the end of 2018, and things like this.
00:52:33.000Just so that Iran will be on notice, just so that Iran and North Korea understand that it's always a very precarious situation, that maybe these forces that they're familiar with, that they're well-acquainted with, could push America into this war they've been dreading for decades, that they've been preparing for for years now.
00:52:53.000Or is it all, you know, or is there really a power struggle going on where Pompeo and Bolton are actually pushing?
00:53:25.000All these Israeli shills, all these neocons, Saudi, Qatari, Israeli funded outlets, would like to have you believe that we were just minding our own business in the Persian Gulf.
00:53:37.000We were just minding our own business in Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia,
00:53:51.000We just need to take them out cleanly and quickly and all this.
00:53:55.000And this is just so deceptive and problematic because of course there is always, there is always a little part of the story that we're leaving out.
00:54:02.000We're always starting right in the middle of the story.
00:54:05.000If we take this one little cross-section, in 2019, in June 2019, a US drone gets taken out, I'd be more inclined to be jingoistic and nationalistic if we were living in a vacuum and say, Iran shot down our assets, let's blow them up!
00:55:15.000Would you say that if Russia was occupying Canada and Mexico and then they were flying a drone over Phoenix, Arizona and we shot it down, would it be fair for the Russian media to say it's another act of American aggression, another American provocation against the Russian state?
00:58:01.000This is how they push us into a process of escalation that then becomes out of our control, then becomes out of the control of the American president.
00:58:10.000Because then it's all about proving that the other side is going to follow through with what they say.
00:58:24.000Now they understand that there is a legitimate pretext, or in the eyes of the government, they're creating a pretext to move in on Iran.
00:58:31.000So Iran is going to act defensively, Iran is on edge, they're on high alert for war.
00:58:36.000Because maybe America wasn't gonna go in and invade them out of the blue, but if now two ships are blown up, and America's putting the blame on them, they're saying, okay, well,
00:59:15.000This has now given us a legitimate pretext in the eyes of the media, in the eyes of the military-industrial complex, in the eyes of the Israel lobby and everybody else, that now America is going to get the go-ahead in the green light.
00:59:26.000Everybody's going to say, well, they're claiming it, so we'll allow it.
00:59:30.000For us to go in and bomb them, or to blow up one of their ships, or to actually escalate it and attack their military.
00:59:36.000And remember, not for them being in our airspace, or not for them being on our shores or anywhere near our country, but because we're claiming that they shot down a drone that was on their doorstep.
00:59:46.000So now we're gonna blow up one of their ships, and then maybe they'll retaliate.
00:59:49.000Maybe they'll do a missile attack, a measured response of their own.
00:59:53.000on one of our oil facilities or one of our air bases.
00:59:56.000We've got a lot of them in the Middle East.
00:59:58.000And then when Iran attacks us directly, and it's not a question of were we in their airspace where they weren't, but it's just a direct attack and they claim responsibility, it's in response to our measured response, then we're going to say we have to take an expanded response.
01:00:12.000We're going to have to, well you blow up our base now, we're going to have to blow up 10 of your ships, or we'll sink your whole navy, or we'll take out
01:00:19.000More facilities, and then you're in a full-scale war.
01:00:22.000So you really have to take a step back and say, what are we willing to do?
01:00:35.000It's arguable if they even have a nuclear capability, if they would even be able, if they have enough highly enriched uranium, if they have the missile technology, if they have the warhead technology, and so on.
01:00:44.000So, you know, all the rhetoric at the end of the day, it's the same thing with Iraq.
01:00:49.000At the end of the day, we are supposed to believe that all of this is about weapons of mass destruction.
01:00:54.000It's about the Iranian nuclear program.
01:00:57.000So, a long time ago, that was the reason why we have this big problem with Iran.
01:01:01.000Now it's escalated into, well, they're interfering in the affairs of Iraq, or they're sponsoring the Houthi rebels, or something.
01:01:08.000It's about an oil tank, or drones, or something.
01:01:11.000But Iran doesn't have a nuclear program, and so we have to think long and hard.
01:01:15.000Are we willing to take the next step into a process that could lead inevitably into a full-scale ground war that we cannot control, that will soon be out of our hands, two sides escalating and there's no one inside, a security dilemma on both sides?
01:01:30.000Are we prepared to do that over, what, oil tankers?
01:01:34.000It's not about nuclear weapons anymore.
01:02:04.000We want to have their people getting gay married and taking out high interest loans and saluting the Israeli flag, remembering the Holocaust and all that.
01:02:20.000The decision is made that we're going to war with Iran.
01:02:22.000And then they gradually create, by seeding these ideas in the media, creating these illusions, false flags, and provocations, and all this, to build the public support, to build sort of like a legal basis for a war, even if nobody believes it, but to build sort of this conceptual legal basis foundation for a war.
01:02:42.000And then they do what they want ultimately.
01:02:43.000But the American people have to remember, because you're going to hear a lot of this, and for some reason the conservative movement loves the big wars and all this.
01:02:51.000We like to see Donald Trump being strong and blowing stuff up.
01:02:55.000Serious strikes had like 75% approval within the GOP as an example.
01:03:00.000You have to take a step back and really think about it.
01:03:52.000They haven't been for 10 years, despite Israeli fear-mongering and alarmism about this stuff.
01:03:58.000And again, would it be a priority anyway if that were the case to go in and cause all these problems when we've got things going on in our own country?
01:04:07.000And I would say that even if those problems were happening to the full extent that the warmongers say that they are, it would even be worth it if we had no other priorities to go in and mess their stuff up.
01:04:22.000Probably most of our problems would be solved if we weren't in the Middle East altogether, right?
01:04:26.000So I have to say about Iran, it's really more the same.
01:04:30.000It's more neocon stuff, it's more military-industrial complex, Israel lobby, warmongering, can't be said enough, just say no to war with Iran.
01:06:12.000I've never underestimated the ability of the government to do these kinds of things before, no matter how foolish, obnoxious, dishonest it is, you know.
01:08:51.000Anyway, Iran Suns is welcome ladies and gentlemen.
01:08:54.000I don't say that though, I don't say that.
01:08:56.000You're watching America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes and I'm coming to you live from my barracks in Iran because I've just been drafted.
01:09:03.000Yeah, well, at least there'll be a change of scenery, right?
01:09:06.000Honestly, at this point, it would add a little bit of structure to my life, so... Going to die in Iran, maybe it's better than the alternative.
01:09:12.000I wouldn't have to read superchats, right?
01:09:15.000Might have to kill innocent people in a horrible Middle Eastern war, and maybe I would get killed, but at least I wouldn't have to read superchats, and I don't know.
01:09:44.000Jay he all says despite only making up only 13% of the GTA population Blacks men and white women are only are over half of the people you murder.
01:10:21.000I got a dirty look from somebody the other day and now I'm ready to go to war.
01:10:26.000Somebody looked at me the wrong way and now it's time.
01:10:29.000Luke Grace says long super chats equal cringe.
01:10:31.000I agree people wanting to well It's like just say your message succinctly concisely and just make it I don't know make it entertaining all these super chats just make me wanna Well, they just make me wanna tell people to make better super chest is what they make me want to do I think about all the I think about all the things these bad super chats want to make me do all these bad ideas that are filling my head such as telling people to make better super chats and
01:11:02.000Anon says the war in Iran is almost entirely backed by the military-industrial complex Trump owned stock in Boeing, which has fielded 150 F-16C units.
01:11:12.000Yeah, I don't think I don't think that has anything to do with it.
01:11:16.000I don't think Trump owning stock in Boeing.
01:11:19.000Imagine thinking that the military-industrial complex is the president's owning stock in Boeing.
01:11:25.000I don't think that's the reason why we'd be pushing into it.
01:12:14.000And who knows, maybe one of these days people pulling out guns on you.
01:12:17.000I've heard these stories happen before where somebody goes into like a bank and for some reason people in the bank pull a gun and you have to defend your life.
01:12:27.000You know, or you go to, uh, you go to Isla Vista.
01:14:24.000Egypt is called Egypt, and we ousted Hosni Mubarak, right?
01:14:28.000Libya has always been Libya, and we ousted Muammar Gaddafi, so... Syria has always been Syria, and there's still this... We didn't go to war there, obviously, but still a big effort to remove Assad, so I would...
01:14:41.000I would say maybe that's not totally true.
01:14:53.000Sydney says for the knicker nation go off King and he's referencing the vaporwave track synthwave track of America first was published pretty good track pretty exciting I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly well made JC's has got my dot physical card now I can keep on trucking just thought you should know
01:17:47.000If he supports legalizing drugs, I disagree.
01:17:50.000But, you know, that's his... He's entitled to his opinion.
01:17:53.000But I'll just say that time and again you find that people who are against Christianity, or against various laws going into effect, they're against them because it would change the way that they have to live their own lives.
01:18:06.000Most of the pagans in the right wing, they're not pagans because they believe in paganism.
01:18:12.000They don't even know anything about paganism.
01:18:14.000They saw a funny meme about it and like, that's their thing now.
01:18:18.000But it's really because they reject Christianity because Christianity would mean they would have to live their life in a particular way.
01:18:46.000That's the greatest sin of all, right?
01:18:49.000And that's not to say that Christians are not sinners, but Christians understand that yes, we are sinners, but a sin is a sin, which is wrong.
01:19:00.000You know, people don't, I think it really just comes down to like guilt and pride and shame and all these things.
01:19:05.000You know, it's not to say that Christians are necessarily, I think a lot of times you'll find that they're better people, but it's not to say that we're superior or anything like that, but Christians will acknowledge that when bad things happen, when bad behavior happens, we say, well, it is bad.
01:19:21.000We should strive not to do these things.
01:19:23.000Even though everybody sins, we should strive not to do them.
01:19:26.000Pagans say, well, I could do whatever I want.
01:19:30.000So, uh, and that's, you know, it's no coincidence why, you know, people that are addicted to pornography are against anti-porn legislation.
01:19:38.000That's why people who are addicted to drugs want drugs to be legalized.
01:19:42.000That's why people that are sex addicts want prostitution to be legalized and on and on, you know, libertarians.
01:19:48.000have you know no morality no moral standards for the most part that's why they want to have laws that are permissive so anyway jub says hey nick how do we help fallen women my sister's a 25 year old thot and she wants to be an engineer and of course my boomer parents see no problem i don't know i think they're kind of a lost cause what what do you mean what are you supposed to do white knight for them honestly i see women as uh
01:20:15.000You know, once they get these ideas in their head, it's hard to put that back in the bag, you know?
01:20:21.000It's hard to reverse the liberation that has happened with women, particularly when they become whores.
01:20:30.000Once they become a whore, I think it's sort of like the point of no return in a lot of ways for a lot of people.
01:20:53.000You know, the only person I'm concerned about, the only woman I'm concerned about is the woman who I'm going to marry at this point in time.
01:21:00.000So, uh, you know, I don't really think about that so much.
01:21:03.000How do we really rehabilitate some whore, some person like that?
01:21:07.000I don't really spend so much time thinking about it.
01:21:09.000Just gotta find some people that are untouched by the pause and, you know, maybe we can try and turn things around.
01:21:15.000But by and large, I don't see, uh, I don't see a lot of successful stories where that happens.
01:21:22.000So I think if anybody is going to rehabilitate a woman, it's it's their romantic partner.
01:21:26.000It's either it's either their family or it's their romantic partner.
01:21:30.000But you know, anybody else, it's like good luck.
01:22:29.000Or like, you know, emo kids and they write on themselves or whatever, you know.
01:22:34.000I just think it's a very, like, juvenile baby thing to do.
01:22:37.000I'm gonna get the Chinese symbol for love tattooed on my arm because love is important or, you know, people get a little tattoo just to, like, say they did or just to have it.
01:22:51.000That's what I hate more than anything is the debasement.
01:22:54.000of people you know people just lowering themselves down into the filth and the muck they have no respect for themselves and that's the thing people ask like why don't you why don't you get drunk why don't you do drugs like i have to have a reason well you know i just don't i just don't see myself doing these things i like my state of mind unmolested unaltered you know dignified and all that i see people getting blackout drunk and they think that's hilarious or fun the whole country is just debased and degenerate no dignity
01:23:24.000I see that as it goes along with all that other stuff.
01:24:22.000So it's just so it's so goofy Yeah, anyway, Churro says Trump's UAV got shot down on rust.
01:24:28.000Hello nw2 department Yeah, I heard Hassan Rouhani got out the stinger and took out his UAV took out his counter UAV Big they made a big mistake.
01:27:31.000Seth, well, I don't know, maybe I will one of these days.
01:27:33.000Honestly, I was like, I'm gonna be a crusader.
01:27:35.000I'm gonna turn away the Zionist money I'll do my own show and then I just get abused and then people just abuse me people just Antagonize me for it.
01:27:43.000Like I don't know maybe the white race deserves to go away.
01:27:46.000Maybe I should have sold out Maybe it was smarter to do that.
01:27:49.000It really doesn't serve my views about the masses when these things happen But I don't do it for the masses.
01:27:56.000I do it because it's the right thing to do, you know So I guess that's the saving grace, right?
01:28:00.000You throw away all your potential so that people could just antagonize you and call you an Israeli shill anyway.
01:28:06.000It's like, well good thing I'm not doing it for the masses.
01:28:10.000Mustafa says, thanks Nick for your stellar analysis on Iran.
01:28:15.000Seth Rich says, have you thought about having highlight clips on your channel so it can be shared easier?
01:28:20.000There are highlight clips and many channels that do this, but I don't want to post it on my channel because it messes with notifications and algorithms and things like this.
01:28:29.000MD Extremes is destroying countries taking their refugees.
01:28:48.000Arkibus says a drone can crash in international waters but the airspace over it is still under the jurisdiction of someone so both claims can be true where it crashes doesn't matter as much as the airspace where is operating.
01:29:00.000Yeah well that's exactly what I said which is that again they dispute they both agree that it landed in basically the same place but the Iranians say it did trespass at one point the airspace.
01:29:11.000But yeah, Sean says Chad Eric Stryker is greater than beta optics cucks.
01:30:33.000bombs Iran while spending $10 trillion in, what is that, 10,000 military casualties, then the Islamist designs for America and the West will not succeed.
01:31:01.000Honestly, any girl who's online to me is just like, I don't give them the time of day, frankly.
01:31:07.000A girl being online says a lot about them.
01:31:10.000You know, people are always telling me, when are you going to find an e-girl?
01:31:12.000When are you going to find, you know, e-friends?
01:31:14.000I'll just say this, you know, like, people that are online, particularly girls, like, I don't know, particularly if they have an Instagram, you know, or they're very active in this community, it's like, well...
01:31:27.000Well with again a few exceptions, there's something going on there.
01:31:31.000I would just say I would say that much, you know So, uh, so I don't see why getting blocked by e-girls is a problem Mint Choco says so many cringe nats in the chat tonight.
01:32:08.000Desu says, after watching hide wars episode 3 a few months ago, I ordered the book of the new son by gene wolf, which is Sam's favorite book Highly recommended very fun read.
01:33:04.000I just really I have a lot of fiction on my bookshelf that I've ordered that I'd like to read but I just I haven't Mustered up the interest to do it Dezu says I just read that one space commando says hey Nick you want to play some overwatch.
01:33:18.000I'll be Reinhardt Okay Maybe I'll be what's the first one?
01:33:28.000Ethan says, hey Nick, are you gonna see Toy Story 4?
01:33:30.000They basically turned Bo Peep into a lesbian who doesn't want to be with a kid and Woody doesn't know what to do with himself because Andy got replaced by a mixed-race girl.
01:35:00.000Never been a big, you know, I always complain when she makes pork tenderloin or pork chops.
01:35:04.000So, uh, I don't really, I don't really go in for that.
01:35:08.000I guess chicken is my preferred meat, but it's just like every, every day it's like, today it's chicken parm, today it's lemon chicken, grilled chicken, fried chicken, barbecue chicken.
01:35:40.000I've got a pretty good physique, you know.
01:35:43.000Honestly, not for nothing, but I do have a very muscular build.
01:35:46.000For somebody that doesn't work out, for somebody that eats like a total cavone, I look in the mirror and I'm like, this is not a bad physique for somebody that's basically completely sedentary and a total
01:35:58.000Piggy a total a total zog chow piggy eating in the trough, right?
01:36:04.000So but I but I promise I'm gonna get but when I get in the gym, it's gonna be epic I'm gonna get back in there one of these days.
01:36:30.000Because of this like, you know, made up thing about a man must be, you know, Socrates said that a man must reach his full physical potential.
01:36:39.000Yeah, well, that was 10,000 years ago or whatever.
01:36:43.000So, I know I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this, but uh,
01:38:48.000You can't, like... I was always concerned somebody was looking over my shoulder.
01:38:52.000I'm on, like, 4chan, because this is 2016, and I'm always worried, is this guy gonna, like, look over my shoulder and see what I'm looking at?
01:38:59.000Is he gonna see that I'm, you know, some kind of radical or something?
01:40:37.000You think I'm gonna take orders from a woman?
01:40:40.000The other day, it's so funny, my mom was like, my mom was telling me, she's like, you should probably talk to a financial planner and, you know, talk about your financial future and everything.
01:40:49.000And she recommended a woman to me and I was like, you know, I'm really uncomfortable talking about my, you know, having a female financial advisor.
01:40:59.000She's like, I'm really offended that you would say this.
01:41:02.000You really believe that a woman is not as good at doing this job.
01:41:06.000And I'm like, I would just prefer to have, you know, it's my money and I am just be more comfortable if a man was giving me financial advice.
