00:00:00.000What made a class of people so rootless to view America in such a way as merely a vessel for abstractions, right?
00:00:10.000We're gonna smash your brain into the Bible, idiots.
00:00:15.000And I'm addicted to the serotonin rush
00:00:33.000We need a Big Mac or something, bitch.
00:16:46.000It looks like the United States is hurtling towards a war with Yemen.
00:16:51.000And we're going to war with Yemen in connection to our support for Israel in their ongoing war in Gaza.
00:16:58.000So, I'll explain all the details and the whole situation, but essentially the Houthi movement in Yemen seem to be the only actors in the Muslim world that are taking action against Israel.
00:17:15.000We know that Hezbollah is holding back.
00:17:46.000and it's a sophisticated military and of course Yemen is situated right at the entrance to the Red Sea so they control a very critical waterway and specifically shipping lanes into Israel over the past week they've said that any ship that is going to Israel is a legitimate target and they've been attacking ships that go through the Red Sea
00:18:11.000And now there's some companies that don't want to ship cargo through that route anymore.
00:18:15.000So now the United States is getting involved and it seems that we will be bombing Yemen.
00:18:21.000Although, of course, we've been involved in the Yemeni civil war for about 10 years, but now we're directly getting involved.
00:18:27.000So we'll talk about all those details.
00:18:30.000It's a little bit of a complicated situation, but the headline is that our involvement in the Middle East is widening.
00:18:41.000Just like I said from the beginning, it's going to be very difficult to prevent this local conflict from widening and becoming a regional conflict.
00:19:36.000I don't know why it's not in that article.
00:19:37.000So Jonathan Majors was supposed to star in the next phase of Marvel movies.
00:19:43.000Of course, the Marvel movies are the biggest movies in the world.
00:19:47.000Or they were at one time under the Disney franchise and Jonathan Major's black guy Was supposed to be the lead villain in the whole next phase of their movies the next two Avengers films And he's already been in one of the series and one of the other movies But now they have to completely reconfigure the entire franchise because he was arrested and now charged and convicted for domestic violence
00:20:19.000And, now normally this wouldn't be really topical or really relevant news, but I think it's interesting because after the success of the first two or three phases of the Marvel films, of course they produced some of the biggest films of all time, you know, the Avengers series and some of the other independent ones, they decided, they made I think a conscious decision to replace all of the leads with the diversity crew.
00:20:48.000And we'll get into that a little bit but it seemed like every one of the main characters they began to be replaced by either black people or women or some other thing and consequently it seems everyone has lost interest.
00:21:02.000And now the whole thing has collapsed because their main guy is beating women.
00:21:08.000Was punching his girlfriend in the face.
00:23:43.000And that's our tentative schedule for this week.
00:23:46.000Tomorrow I'm on Stu, and then I'll most likely do another RumbleStream later in the week, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, and I'll let you know about that.
00:23:54.000Also, I have a huge announcement about another streaming event that we're doing here.
00:24:02.000We're going to be doing an end-of-the-year fundraiser for the America First Foundation next Wednesday.
00:24:14.000It'll be Wednesday, I think that's the 27th, so two days after Christmas.
00:24:19.000And it's going to be an all-day marathon stream and we'll be raising money for the America First Foundation because we've got some really big plans for 2024.
00:24:28.000We're planning on doing a feature-length documentary.
00:24:33.000We're planning on totally revamping this studio.
00:24:38.000We're going to be doing ballot harvesting.
00:24:41.000I've been talking to donors, I've been talking to my political connections, and I think everyone can agree the biggest and the most important thing that we're going to be doing in this election year is getting on the ground in three states, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and ballot harvesting the shit out of Republican votes.
00:25:04.000And I know the polls are good right now, but we can't take any chances.
00:26:04.000That all goes into AFPAC, it goes into our projects, it goes into the political operation.
00:26:13.000So it's going to set us up and we'll be in a really good position with a nice little war chest for 2024 to do some major things for the election and really take this whole thing to the next level.
00:26:24.000Because that's been the mission for the last couple of years.
00:26:27.000It's been a long time kind of recovering from January 6th and all that fallout.
00:26:32.000And now we're finally hitting this, I think, key transitional stage where we take it to the next level.
00:26:37.000So, like I said, we have this round of funding from donors and we're talking to people and we've got some really serious projects on the books for next year.
00:26:47.000So we're closing the year with a big fundraiser.
00:27:46.000You know, I actually felt a little bad because I was going really hard on Alex Jones, and I like Alex Jones, but he was really pissing me off in that debate with Stu.
00:27:57.000And I said, so I mean, it got a little heated.
00:28:28.000I mean, you know, he goes around on these big shows talking about how he's the most censored person in America.
00:28:33.000You know, the most censored people aren't making the rounds on the biggest shows, necessarily.
00:28:39.000And I don't want to say absolutely, because I mean, I'd like to be on those shows at some point, and I don't want that clip to be played.
00:28:47.000You know, if I get on Tucker, they're gonna say, well, he said if you go on Tucker that, you know, you're not censored.
00:28:54.000But of course there it is a little bit conspicuous especially considering he will not talk about this one issue So so yeah, I went a little bit hard and you know, I still like the guy but
00:29:24.000They should not be running our country.
00:29:27.000I look at dual loyalty, Israel firsters, Mossad spies, and even just these Jews that don't share our values and I say these people should not be influencing America.
00:29:38.000Christians should be influencing America.
00:29:40.000Patriots should be influencing America.
00:30:10.000Our first story, we'll talk about this Marvel thing.
00:30:13.000And you know, this isn't even really news, but it is just sort of funny.
00:30:18.000So if you don't follow this stuff, and honestly, the funny thing is about these Marvel movies, I don't think I've seen one of them since Avengers Endgame came out.
00:30:40.000I remember being like 10 years old when the first Iron Man came out, and it was huge.
00:30:45.000And I remember seeing Iron Man 2 in theaters and thinking it was the coolest movie ever.
00:30:50.000And when Avengers 1 came out, nothing like that had ever been
00:30:56.000Attempted to do an ensemble superhero film with with the independent films building up into it And the other thing is this when the when the final Avengers came out this Avengers Endgame and Avengers infinity war
00:31:14.000I feel like I was the only person, or one of the only people, that recognized the significance of this.
00:31:19.000A lot of people in our area were saying, oh, you know, these Marvel movies, that's a lot of crap, and that's just consumer stuff, that's normie trash.
00:31:29.000Now, whatever you think about those movies, their cultural impact cannot be overstated.
00:32:18.000This is just... And I remember thinking that when those movies came out.
00:32:22.000I was into it and people said, oh, that's Normie trash.
00:32:25.000I said, you don't realize for cinema, even though, you know, Martin Scorsese says it's not cinema, even though it is like Normie bubblegum trash, whatever.
00:32:34.000At the same time, you have to recognize it is an achievement nevertheless.
00:32:39.000And it's an American achievement for Hollywood.
00:33:03.000What was disappointing about that whole series, what I and I think many other people noticed, is that they were paving the way for all of the characters to be replaced by the diversity crew.
00:33:16.000And the last, one of the last ones that I saw, the last Avengers movie, at the end of the film, they paved the way for every one of the heroes to be replaced by a black guy or a black woman or a girl.
00:33:30.000Iron Man was supposed to be replaced by his wife, or some black girl.
00:33:35.000Thor was supposed to be replaced by, I think, Natalie Portman, a girl.
00:33:39.000And Spider-Man was supposed to be replaced by some other person.
00:33:43.000They were all gonna be replaced by the Diversity Squad.
00:33:47.000And I remember thinking, nobody's gonna... This is it.
00:35:31.000You know, I guess there's uninhabited islands in the real world full of superheroes then.
00:35:37.000I mean, seriously, at least the Black Panther had the vibranium suit and everything, and the magical whatever, you know, the ancestral powers.
00:35:45.000As far as I'm concerned, she's just throwing spears.
00:35:49.000So she's just like your average African woman.
00:36:18.000On Monday, a jury in New York found that Jonathan Majors, age 34, attacked and harassed British choreographer Grace Jabari during an altercation in March.
00:36:28.000Following the verdict, a Marvel spokesperson said the studio would no longer work with the actor.
00:36:33.000Majors could face up to a year in prison when sentenced in February.
00:36:38.000It marks a stunning downfall for a leading Hollywood actor who had been expected to feature in multiple Marvel films.
00:36:44.000Majors played the villain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel films.
00:38:11.000Can't these black guys that we try to make run America stop beating the shit out of their girlfriends for 10 freaking minutes so we can make a trillion dollars?
00:38:22.000It says his former girlfriend was left with a fractured finger, bruising, and a cut behind her ear after the couple fought over a phone in a hire car in New York City.
00:38:34.000Jabari saw a text message from another woman on Major's phone which said, In an effort to get his phone back, the film star grabbed his then-girlfriend, twisted her arm behind her back, and hit her in the head.
00:40:15.000You know, but you can't take the nigga out of the nigga.
00:40:19.000You take this guy out of the streets, you put him in the Oscar film and Marvel and the US Army advertisement, and he's still cheating on his wife, delusions of brander, beating the shit out of her.
00:40:33.000And so if it wasn't enough that every single Marvel film has flopped critically and at the box office since they fired all the white people,
00:40:43.000Now they can't even release the films because they're all getting arrested for domestic violence.
00:40:48.000And you know, it's just... I really... this is important to me.
00:40:53.000I really care about this because I love movies.
00:41:33.000I was watching, I was watching Taken the other day.
00:41:36.000If you haven't seen that movie or it's been 10 years since you've seen it, go back and watch Taken again.
00:41:41.000I was blown away that this movie was ever produced.
00:41:45.000Because now of course everything, and I know it's sort of cringe to say, but you know everything is so diverse and it's gay, lesbian, trans.
00:41:54.000It's always a black girl sidekick in everything now.
00:42:06.000I was just chilling out eating lunch or whatever.
00:42:09.000And in case everyone remembers Taken with Liam Neeson where the girl gets dragged from under the bed and the kidnapper picks up the phone and the dad says, you know, I have a special set of skills.
00:44:10.000If America was big and rich and technological and cocky and confident and awesome and it was a white guy who knew everything, I would support that.
00:44:22.000And that, in a sense, represented America.
00:44:24.000And now that he's gone, now that he died in the film, and all the other ones went away, and now it's like the Eternals, and it's that Indian guy, and it's the karate kid, and all these other people they've introduced.
00:44:43.000Because now, it's just unrecognizable.
00:44:45.000The country's un... I don't recognize the face of this country.
00:44:49.000The face of this country used to be John Wayne, and Clint Eastwood, and Ronald Reagan, and even when it was neocons, even though it was Jews behind the scenes, it was George Bush, real cowboy, even though he's a fake cowboy.
00:45:03.000And it was Iron Man, and American Idol,
00:45:07.000And now the face of America is, like, black women.
00:45:11.000Now the face of America is, like, Cardi B. And, like, these absolute bottom-of-the-barrel rappers with these stupid names, and they're all, like, 30 IQ, and it's just, you know, this mumble rap, you know,
00:46:29.000And that represents how everyone can and should get behind a white guy running America.
00:46:36.000In the same way that every man, woman, and child can get behind Iron Man because of all the qualities that we love that make him the quintessential white American, even though I know he's Hispanic in the lore and the canon, in the same way they should be able to get behind a white America.
00:48:39.000in Avengers but you know but but he let the he didn't stand up to the Jews he didn't have 2.1 children and now it's the Kang dynasty forever and there's no take backs you can't switch this up you can't replace him we are stuck with Jonathan Majors we are stuck with the Kang dynasty Iron Man is dead Captain America is retired Thor has quit being God okay white man is no longer supreme in the world and now it's the Kang dynasty forever
00:51:23.000In response to Israel's invasion of Gaza and their war against Hamas, Iran, which has proxies across the region, has threatened that they will attack Israel if Israel goes too far.
00:51:38.000So that's Iran itself, but that's also Iran's proxies in Iraq, which is called the Axis of Resistance.
00:51:48.000It's also Bashar al-Assad in Syria, it's also Hezbollah in Lebanon, and it's the Houthi rebels, which is a Shiite group in Yemen, which is south of Saudi Arabia.
00:52:03.000Israel is fighting Hamas in Gaza, and Iran is keeping Israel in check because they've got a crescent formed around them, surrounding them.
00:52:13.000Lebanon and Syria in the north, Iraq in the east, Yemen in the south, of course Iran in the far east.
00:52:21.000And so it's the threat of an all-out regional war on all of those fronts, in all of those countries.
00:52:28.000Lebanon and Syria and Iraq and Iran and Yemen that is keeping, supposedly, to keep Israel in check.
00:52:36.000And that's why the United States is involved.
00:52:39.000To keep Iran and its proxies in check, the United States has deployed its forces to the region.
00:52:43.000So we have aircraft carriers and we have planes and Marines and we have regular visits from the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense to the region.
00:52:53.000And all of that is to keep the Iranian element in check.
00:52:58.000And so that is the chessboard right now.
00:53:01.000And in terms of each particular part of the conflict, Israel is in Gaza.
00:53:09.000They're fighting a counterinsurgency against Hamas.
00:53:13.000On Israel's northern border with Hezbollah, where there was fighting, it seems that things have largely been a stalemate.
00:53:20.000Now there's a little bit of a question about whether Israel is going to do a ground offensive in Lebanon.
00:53:26.000Israel has said that Hezbollah's forces have to retreat north, further into Lebanon, away from Israel's border.
00:53:35.000And there are some elements saying that Israel is preparing a preemptive war, that they will declare war on Hezbollah to drive them further from Israel's northern border, and they'll push into Lebanon in order to do that.
00:53:47.000Although the front between Hezbollah and Israel has been mostly a stalemate.
00:53:52.000In Iraq and Syria, there have been tit-for-tat strikes.
00:54:16.000The wider conflict appears to be a stalemate, again with Hezbollah on the northern border and between American and Iranian backed forces in Iraq and Syria.
00:54:26.000The one area where the conflict seems not to have stabilized is in Yemen.
00:54:34.000And Yemen has been regularly firing missiles at southern Israel, and the missiles are being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome, they're being intercepted by Saudi Arabia, intercepted by the United States.
00:54:45.000But Yemen has been regularly bombing Israel, sending missiles into Israel's south.
00:54:51.000But Yemen also is positioned critically near the Gulf of Aden, which is the entrance into the Red Sea.
00:54:59.000And the Red Sea is of course what leads into the Suez Canal through which so much global trade flows and specifically trade into Israel through the Strait of Tehran.
00:55:10.000So Yemen is situated at the Arabian Sea opening of that Suez Canal Channel, or that Red Sea Channel.
00:55:18.000So they can restrict and they can cast a shadow over this global shipping route.
00:55:24.000Again, it doesn't just connect the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, but it also connects the Indian Ocean with Israel through the Strait of Tehran.
00:55:34.000And so in the past week, Yemen has been bombing and attacking
00:56:03.000officials on Monday expanded a multinational maritime force in the Red Sea to defend against escalating attacks from the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, which have impeded international shipping routes.
00:56:15.000The new defense, named Operation Prosperity Guardian, excuse me, builds on the power of the Combined Maritime Forces, a 39-member international coalition.
00:56:27.000Navy 5th Fleet in Bahrain to protect maritime access and stability.
00:56:32.000The expansion comes as a flood of companies pause their shipping activity along that popular Suez Canal route due to the elevated threat from the Houthis.
00:56:42.000Oil giant BP announced Monday it would temporarily suspend its shipping in the Red Sea, joining companies like shipping firms Maersk, MSC, and others.
00:56:52.000Operation Prosperity Guardian will aim to deter further Houthi attacks as the US eyes potential flare-ups of regional conflict amid the Israel-Hamas war.
00:57:02.000has so far shot down dozens of Houthi drones heading towards commercial ships.
00:57:07.000In recent weeks, Yemen's Houthi rebel group has launched a slew of drone attacks against commercial ships crossing the Red Sea.
00:57:14.000The Iranian-backed Houthis have previously warned that any ship connected to Israel is a legitimate target until the war in Gaza ends.
00:57:21.000And many commercial ships have been caught in the crossfire.
00:57:25.000The Houthis, formerly known as Ansar Allah, have vowed to target all ships heading to and from Israel and said that the only way to restore calm to the region is through a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
00:57:38.000The Houthis have shown no sign of backing down and announced on Monday that they launched two drone attacks on commercial vessels.
00:58:04.000The Emirates wants military action and for the U.S.
00:58:07.000to redesignate the Houthis as a foreign terrorist group.
00:58:10.000And the Saudis fear military action could provoke more Houthi attacks and break the fragile truce that has held between Yemen and Saudi Arabia since April 2022.
00:58:24.000It seems that there is a potential for the conflict to widen in two areas.
00:58:31.000One is on Israel's northern border where Israel has threatened that if Hezbollah does not move north that they will invade.
00:58:40.000They've said that Israel will not allow their own people to return to the border region until Hezbollah moves north.
00:58:46.000So that implies that either Hezbollah will capitulate or they will be attacked.
00:58:51.000And that's been an evolving discussion now for three or four weeks, that Hezbollah does not want a war.
00:58:59.000That's why their leader declined to declare war.
00:59:02.000That's why they have not attacked Israel directly or invaded Israel in a significant way.
00:59:07.000And they don't want to do that because they care about public opinion in Lebanon.
00:59:11.000Lebanon is economically not well off and they do not want a war with Israel.
00:59:17.000So Hezbollah has taken that into account.
00:59:20.000So it's Israel that would be the aggressor.
00:59:22.000Israel keeps talking about going after them, pushing them back, that they need to change the fundamental balance of power on both their southern and northern border.
01:00:32.000And significantly, I think it was one or two years ago, Yemen was bombing Saudi Arabia's airfields.
01:00:38.000This is something that they have threatened to do repeatedly.
01:00:41.000That if Saudi Arabia intervenes against Yemen, or if they don't stop what's going on in Gaza, that Yemen has said, we will not spare any of Saudi Arabia's oil fields.
01:00:51.000Additionally, Yemen, or rather the Houthi rebels, are a Shiite-backed group.
01:00:58.000Saudi Arabia has a large Shiite population in their eastern province, where a lot of the oil fields are.
01:01:04.000Bahrain also has a large Shiite population.
01:01:08.000They had an uprising years ago because of this.
01:01:11.000And this is something that I talked about at the beginning.
01:01:14.000This is what will create pressure against these more Israel-aligned Arab countries.
01:01:19.000Is that even though the Saudi government and even though the Emiratis and even though the Jordanian king and the Egyptian government, even though they're all in the pocket of the United States and by extension Israel, their people aren't necessarily.
01:01:36.000And specifically those Shiite populations.
01:01:40.000And so this is a, more so than this is a war between Hamas and Israel, it's part of this broader story about a confrontation between Israel and the Muslim world.
01:01:52.000The Muslim world doesn't accept Israel.
01:01:55.000Some Muslim governments have done that.
01:01:57.000They have informally, unofficially, capitulated, and normalized ties with Israel behind the scenes.
01:02:32.000As the protector of the Palestinians, it gives them a lot of credibility and clout in the Muslim world.
01:02:38.000And specifically in these countries with large Shiite populations, does that create unrest?
01:02:45.000If Iran is leading the fight, and Iran of course is the center of Shiite Islam, if Iran is leading the fight against Israel, and all Muslims are against Israel,
01:02:57.000And Saudi Arabia goes to war against Yemen because Yemen is helping the Palestinians.
01:03:04.000Do the Shiites in Saudi Arabia start to destabilize the country?
01:03:09.000Do they try to overthrow the government?
01:03:11.000Is there civil unrest in Saudi Arabia because of this?
01:03:18.000Can Saudi Arabia handle a war with Yemen?
01:03:21.000And, you know, these are a lot of questions we have to sort of wait and see how it plays out.
01:03:24.000But the point is, this is how the conflict widens.
01:03:27.000And this is how it goes from a war between Israel and Palestine to a ground war where Israel is fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon with American support.
01:03:37.000And then it turns into a war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen with direct American involvement.
01:03:44.000And now you've got war encompassing the Arabian Peninsula and the entire Eastern Mediterranean.
01:03:52.000This is what we've been talking about from the beginning.
01:03:55.000Is that everything is fine and well when this is a local issue and it's really not even seen as an interstate conflict because Palestine unfortunately is not a state.
01:04:04.000Insofar as Israel is going to war with Hamas, this is not a major conflict.
01:04:09.000The threat was always that one of these flashpoints, one of these Iranian bad groups, one of the Iranian proxies, would instigate conflict with one of the Israel-aligned forces somewhere.
01:04:24.000And there could easily be a scenario in two or three or four months where Israel has attacked Hezbollah and there's a major Israeli war in Lebanon.
01:04:35.000So it's another, I think that's the third Israel-Lebanon war.
01:04:38.000There was one in the 80s, there's a one in 2006.
01:05:03.000Is the United States now at war in Lebanon?
01:05:06.000And on the Gulf, you know, they're a war with Yemen as well.
01:05:10.000Is there also an escalation in Iraq and Syria?
01:05:13.000This is how you get literally a war that devours the entire region.
01:05:19.000Like this would be the biggest war in the Middle East since World War II.
01:05:23.000If everything goes the way, or maybe since the Iran-Iraq War or something like that.
01:05:29.000But the point is this would be a very significant regional war.
01:05:33.000And then the big question is does it become a global war?
01:05:37.000Of course, if the local war can't stay local, the regional war will not stay regional.
01:05:44.000Because there are global powers involved in all of these different countries.
01:05:48.000The United States will come to the aid of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
01:05:52.000And I don't think it's outside the question that Russia and China will come to the aid of Iran and Syria.
01:05:59.000Of course, Israel took out Syria's two air bases in Aleppo and Damascus, and Russia opened up their military base for Iran to use to transport goods into Syria.
01:08:52.000Because Israel's really the one in charge.
01:08:56.000And not only will Israel not give the Palestinians a state, which is what everybody says is just and necessary and must happen, but they're starving them to death while they've locked them in and have been dropping bombs on them.
01:09:09.000Unarmed civilians, hospitals, children, people fleeing the violence are getting bombs dropped on them.
01:09:15.000They accidentally killed their own hostages because they see three unarmed people with white flags and they shoot them.
01:09:32.000And not in a literal way, I don't mean bomb Israel, but I mean why don't we, instead of going out there and threatening Hezbollah and threatening Iran and punching Iran in the face and bombing them in Syria and bombing Yemen, why don't we go to Israel and say, hey, give the Palestinians a state?
01:09:50.000I don't mean literally go to war with Israel, but I mean what is the simpler solution here?
01:09:56.000Is the simpler solution to go to war with the whole world?
01:10:01.000Let's just bomb everyone while we're at it.
01:10:04.000Or is the solution to talk to our closest ally, pick up the phone and say, hey, we're withdrawing our aircraft carriers, you can deal with Iran.
01:10:14.000Unless you give the Palestinians a state.
01:10:19.000We can't do that, because Israel owns us.
01:10:22.000Israel has a nuclear weapon, which they stole from us, and we know they'd use it.
01:10:28.000That's the nuclear blackmail that they're using to hold everyone hostage, because they say, okay, if America pulls out and Iran comes in, well, we'll just nuke everybody.
01:10:40.000So they're a rogue nuclear country blackmailing and holding hostage the entire world.
01:10:46.000And the only reason they got their nuclear arsenal is because they stole it from the United States.
01:10:53.000Number two is that any American politician that dared to oppose Israel would be destroyed, just like the president of UPenn, just like all of these politicians that are being attacked by AIPAC and other groups for daring to vote against these resolutions calling anti-Zionism anti-Semitism or whatever.
01:11:14.000And that's a big problem that America can't confront our closest ally because they have nuclear and political blackmail over our entire political system.
01:11:47.000This whole situation in the Middle East is not good.
01:11:50.000And I don't think it's extremely likely that conflict will break out, but the Houthis are not backing down.
01:11:57.000To their credit, they seem to be the only ones in the Muslim world willing to confront Israel.
01:12:02.000And I guess Iran is playing a smart game here.
01:12:04.000They're kind of using all their different forces effectively.
01:12:09.000But Yemen seems to be the only one that's confronting Israel.
01:12:12.000Now they'll be punished by the United States, but this may be a conflict that's too big for either of us to handle, for the United States and Israel together.
01:12:21.000Can Israel handle a war in Gaza, and the West Bank, and Lebanon, and can they handle a war, and can we handle supporting that, and Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia in a fight against Yemen?
01:12:41.000And by the way, this is not completely different from what happened to the Soviet Union.
01:12:47.000Which is of course that the Soviet Union was forced to exert itself on a global scale in the 1980s.
01:12:53.000The Reagan doctrine was to confront the Soviet Union on every continent and everywhere they were and to undertake these huge programs like the Strategic Defense Initiative and it's, you know, conventional wisdom that Reagan outspent the Soviet Union and that's what caused the collapse.
01:13:11.000That ultimately the Soviet Union did not have the economy to support their global
01:13:17.000I don't know if that's perfectly correct, but something similar happens to every empire.
01:13:28.000That's what happened to Great Britain after World War II.
01:13:32.000That's what happened to the Soviet Union.
01:13:34.000Arguably, that's what's happening to the United States now.
01:13:37.000It seems that China and Russia are sort of meeting us everywhere we are.
01:13:59.000Now we're at war with three countries in the Middle East.
01:14:01.000We also have to be backing up Taiwan for this fight.
01:14:04.000You know, China is building 20 ships for every one ship that we build, but we're desperately trying to supply them with the defensive means they need.
01:14:11.000But we're also trying to prevent Venezuela from fighting Guyana.
01:15:01.000Arguably, there were other parts, but, you know, but Ukraine was really what kicked it off, and then this is just sort of the second stage.
01:15:08.000The third stage is going to be insane, because we're still in Ukraine.
01:15:14.000What's the next part going to look like?
01:15:18.000Global war, total collapse of America.
01:15:24.000It's hundreds of billions of dollars we've sent to Ukraine.
01:15:27.000If we get committed to another war in the Middle East, we're fighting in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, we're fighting all these places, that's another hundreds of billions.
01:15:35.000It's Taiwan, that's more hundreds of billions.
01:15:40.000Pretty soon the interest on our debt is going to be more than our defense budget.
01:16:33.000I've always said, you know, it's likely there'll be a shakeup, but I really think when you look at everything that's happening right now, we are headed towards a completely unmitigated calamity.
01:16:43.000Which is everything happening wrong all at once.
01:16:57.000And that's when, you know, maybe there'll be an opportunity to gain power for some kind of right-wing revanchist force to consolidate power during that transition, but it seems almost unavoidable at this point.
01:17:14.000I mean, because you can see it, the Ukraine thing, that was World War III.
01:17:39.000And then China and Taiwan, what Venezuela's planning in Guyana, Azerbaijan and Armenia, you know, everything that you look at, the world is coming apart, American power is declining, and this is where these things happen very slowly and then very quickly.
01:17:54.000It's sort of like how the Soviet Union was failing in Afghanistan, their Afghanistan war in the 80s.
01:18:02.000And, you know, in the 70s and 80s people were acting like the Soviet Union would last forever.
01:18:52.000The corruption, loss in... people don't believe in America like they used to, just like people didn't believe in communism like they did at one point.
01:19:04.000And of course, all these things, they were apparent, but nobody could really see it in the 80s, and then it all came tumbling down in like two years.
01:19:13.000Took two years to go from global empire, they'll be around forever, they've been around for a hundred years, this is what the world has to deal with,
01:19:52.000And similarly with the Soviet Union, things got really bad but it was never like Fallout style, you know, hey smooth skin.
01:19:59.000You know, it wasn't, it wasn't like a post-apocalyptic like people imagine in the movies, although it could be far worse than it was then.
01:20:07.000The point is there will be a radical shake-up and it could be a good thing.
01:20:11.000The Soviet Union fell and it produced, obviously it was dismembered and Russia was the smallest it had been in a long time and there was a period of anarchy and plutocracy and this big sell-off into
01:26:44.000There can't even be any confusion that that's what it is.
01:26:48.000It says, but they're not going to withhold a
01:26:51.000Pastoral blessing So and I agree it's not I don't love that it creates confusion It's not I don't love all this stuff that's coming out of the Vatican lately, but you know people are just lying about what it is
01:29:23.000Stalin married a Jewish woman but at least he made her ACK herself after she tried to concern troll him about the purges at dinner and she kicked in her face.
01:29:34.000I already gave my thoughts on that on the stream earlier.
01:31:36.000Spence sent $3, everything you said about AJ was accurate and deserved.
01:31:40.000I watched him as a kid until after 2016 election, he's important to a lot of us but at this point it's time for everyone to tell the truth now.
01:31:49.000Wonder Pets Patriot sent $3, do you think Stalin really died in a puddle of his own pee or do you think that's a Hitler had won testicle tear American propaganda slander?
01:32:00.000Well he had a stroke so um, it's plausible.
01:32:20.000That's different than saying you have one ball, and you're really Jewish, and you're gay, and blah blah blah, you know, like they say about Hitler.
01:32:26.000Hitler was actually Jewish, and he was gay, and he had one ball, and he was on drugs, and he was this, and he was that, you know.
01:32:45.000Jordan B sent $10, all the people who say become a plumber, get married at 23 to Suzy up the road, have 7 kids by 29 are the same people who wouldn't dare go out of their way to hire a white serviceman, or even support a Catholic-slash-Christian owned business.
01:33:00.000Great rumble stream earlier, love you brother.
01:34:13.000Let's see... A classic storyline covered in 1984 to 1985.
01:34:19.000In Secret Wars, Marvel heroes and villains from different dimensions were all summoned by cosmic entities known as Beyonders to fight one another in a place called Battleworld.
01:34:31.000These events led to the destruction of specific dimensions in the multiverse and the birth of new ones with surviving characters merging into the new reborn multiverse.
01:34:39.000Yeah, that does sound pretty cool, honestly.
01:34:42.000Guess it'll have to be somebody else then that makes that all happen and not Kang.
01:35:02.000Chad Champion sent $3, these Alex Jones revelations have been so disappointing the difference from like 2015 to now is obvious he seems to just babble about nonsense now it's almost if he became a character of himself.
01:39:17.000Mike Van sent $3, Vince Dow is the type of nigga to hear I love the way your eyes slant like my cousin with down syndrome mockingly and in his hubris say I appreciate it.
01:39:55.000If you're super, super rich, you get a bunker and all that.
01:39:59.000If you're not rich, you're collecting supplies for other people.
01:40:05.000That's the funniest thing about all these doomsday preppers, is they're just collecting that for, like, three guys that are stronger than them to come and take it.
01:40:14.000It's like Rust, you know, it's like Rust or like Minecraft or something or Fortnite.
01:40:22.000Imagine you're, you know, you're playing Fortnite and you go and you get all your mats, you get a 500 wood, 500 stone, 500 steel, you get a gold AR, you get a gold sniper, you get max ammo and everything.
01:40:37.000And then somebody, and then like two people that are teaming and way better than you come and just take all your shit.
01:40:43.000You, all you did was just gather that for them.
01:40:52.000Similarly, I feel like a lot of these doomsday preppers, you know, they got all this food and all this water and all this ammo and whatever, and you know what's gonna happen?
01:41:03.00010 guys working together are going to be roving the neighborhood, and they're going to take all those people's stuff.
01:41:08.000They're going to come in, they're going to fucking shoot you in the face in your house, and they're going to take all your stuff.
01:42:46.000I don't believe in, like, these elaborate things.
01:42:49.000I think you should have a bag of medicine, you know, water, water filter, that kind of stuff, a radio, batteries.
01:42:59.000Have all that stuff in a bag by your door.
01:43:02.000Have a map, know where to go, maybe have a canister of fuel in your garage.
01:43:07.000And, um, you know, so it's like if shit hits the fan, you grab your bag, you jump in your car, you go away from the city, you go out into the countryside somewhere, maybe it's a relative's house, maybe it's someplace, you know, that's safe.
01:43:21.000I feel like that's the best thing you could do for yourself.
01:43:27.000That's the biggest thing is to not be in a city and to just have some critical supplies to get you through that first week or two where society is like falling apart.
01:43:36.000Because I don't think you can plan, unless you're super rich, I don't think you can have a plan where it's like I'm gonna have supplies for 10 years and every scenario accounted for.
01:43:46.000I think you could have things like iodine pills, water filters,
01:48:02.000If you're the prepper, you're the prepper and you got all your preparations and everything, I just sneak in your house and kill you and take all your stuff.
01:48:11.000I would consume it all in one sitting.
01:50:39.000We will hunt down the remaining human survivors.
01:50:42.000We will hunt down the remaining human survivors.
01:50:45.000And they will either be killed or they will be brought under military slavery and we will use them as cannon fodder.
01:50:53.000We will send them into minefields, of which there will be many.
01:50:56.000We will send them into the minefields to test for mines and improvised explosives.
01:51:01.000We will send them in as bait to lure out other preppers where they will then be killed and it will allow us to kill the preppers and take their materials.
01:51:39.000Chinese Catholic Millennial sent $3, I appreciate the white pill that the ensuing global conflict will be an opportunity for AF to gain more power.
01:51:47.000What are the potential downsides of global conflict for AF?
