00:34:38.000Every time we get involved in the Middle East, every time there's a kinetic military action from this administration, people freak out, and they assume the worst, and people are going to bomb shelters, and, you know, they're posting, they're angry, veins popping out, red in the face, I REGRET VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP, you know, and it always, and invariably it blows over, nothing ever happens, and that's exactly what we saw happen this morning, so...
00:39:24.000First, we're gonna talk about this Ukrainian plane crash.
00:39:27.000Like I said, it's almost not even worth talking about at this point because people are basically ignoring it.
00:39:35.000You know, Trump gave his statement this morning and gave no mention of the plane.
00:39:40.000As far as I can tell, as far as I've been able to research, the major news media is not really talking about this, at least not as much as they're talking about the Iranian rocket attack and Trump's response.
00:39:55.000So, I don't know if this will become a bigger deal later this week.
00:39:59.000Maybe people are still just focused on the Soleimani response and what's been going on.
00:40:05.000But almost nobody seems to care about this.
00:40:15.000It says, quote, investigators are scrambling Wednesday to determine the cause of a crash that killed all 176 people on a Ukrainian plane shortly after it took off from Tehran's international airport.
00:40:27.000Iranian state media earlier blamed technical issues on the crash and Ukraine ruled out rocket attacks, but officials in both countries have since walked back their statements and are now refusing to speculate on the case.
00:40:39.000Questions are swirling over the timing of the incident,
00:40:42.000Which came just hours after Iran fired a number of missiles at two Iraqi bases housing U.S.
00:40:48.00082 Iranians, 63 Canadians, and 11 Ukrainians died on board flight PS-752, according to a tweet from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadim Pristyko.
00:41:00.000There were also 10 Swedes, 4 Afghans, 3 Germans, and 3 British nationals among the victims.
00:41:06.000The Boeing 737 jet, operated by Ukraine International Airlines, took off early Wednesday to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, carrying 167 passengers and 9 crew before crashing between the cities of Porand and Shahriar.
00:41:21.000Witnesses described seeing a fireball in the sky and images of the wreckage show charred parts of the plane strewn over a field.
00:41:28.000And now Iran is not going to give the black box to America or to the manufacturer of the plane.
00:41:34.000So, if you've been following the news, there's been a lot of incidents like this actually, specifically with Ukrainians.
00:41:41.000I don't know if you've noticed this, but there was like a plane crash over Ukraine.
00:41:46.000I think Russia shot it down a few years ago.
00:41:49.000With all these missing plane crashes, the question is always about the black box.
00:41:54.000If you can recover the black box, I don't know exactly the technical aspects of it, but this is basically a device that is on every airplane that records all kind of information in the event that a plane crashes.
00:42:07.000So you recover the black box, I guess it's like indestructible, and then you're able to determine what caused the crash.
00:42:14.000If it was technical, if it was, you know, a missile shooting it down,
00:42:18.000To me, it's pretty much kind of obvious what happened here.
00:42:22.000You know, it would be a pretty bizarre coincidence if a airliner, you know, a passenger plane just happened to crash in the country where like 300 missiles being launched from.
00:42:35.000You know, if that happened at the same time, it'd be a pretty weird coincidence if it was a technical failure that caused this to happen.
00:42:54.000It's somewhere between 15 and 300 missiles that were launched from Iran.
00:42:58.000Either way, you've got missiles flying throughout the sky.
00:43:02.000Yesterday the report said that 11 out of 15 hit their targets.
00:43:06.000Is it outside the realm of possibility that four of those rockets that were being launched from Iran hit this plane that was downed inside of Iran?
00:43:16.000To me, that's probably the most likely scenario.
00:43:19.000And then the question becomes, well, where do you go from there?
00:43:24.000If we were willing to ignore this missile barrage or this rocket barrage that thankfully didn't kill Americans, or I guess it didn't even kill any Iraqis, according to the Americans,
00:43:36.000Arabs are saying that Iraqis did die, but nevertheless, if we're willing to basically eat a missile strike because no Americans die, well then, how does this complicate the situation?
00:43:48.000If they didn't kill any American civilians, but they blew up this passenger plane where you had Iranians, Canadians, British, Swedes, Afghans, how does that change the scenario?
00:44:01.000It seems to me like the president gave his statement this morning, didn't even mention the plane, and if that's so, then will he ever mention the plane?
00:44:11.000Does the plane enter into the calculus of what happens between America and Iran?
00:44:15.000I guess to some extent we can basically plead ignorance as a nation and say, well, they're not turning over the black box.
00:44:23.000Therefore, we have no idea, we have no clue, how this passenger plane fell out of the sky during the night of the rocket strike.
00:45:22.000Now, I'm getting a little bit of this from my favorite source, Daily Wire, which I read every day.
00:45:29.000One of my favorite authors from the Daily Wire, Andrew Klavan, he gave similar remarks in the past 24 hours about all that's going on between the United States and Iran.
00:46:41.000There had been this tit-for-tat situation between the Americans and these Iranian-backed militias in Iraq for the past week or so, really going back for the past couple of months.
00:46:52.000But this was a totally disproportionate response to all of this.
00:46:56.000The question was, for about a week, how will Iran proceed?
00:46:59.000How will Iran respond to the killing of what many people regard the second most powerful person in Iran?
00:47:05.000They responded last night with rocket strikes, a very small rocket strike.
00:47:11.000The numbers we had yesterday was something like 15 rockets were launched from Iran.
00:47:28.000It was a very, very small, and like I said, I've been saying for the past 24 hours, it's a subdued, muted, disproportionately weak actually, response.
00:47:38.000You know, you gotta keep in mind, we killed their general.
00:47:40.000We killed their top general in the whole country, and they responded with like 15 missiles.
00:47:47.000You know, that would be like if somebody killed Mark Esper, the Secretary of State, and then we responded with the Syria strikes.
00:47:54.000You know, we responded by blowing up a hangar.
00:47:57.000You know, I mean, it's totally disproportionate in the opposite direction, in a weak direction.
00:48:03.000So the president at the White House responded to that this morning.
00:48:06.000I'll read you a report from Fox News about the response.
00:48:09.000It says, quote, President Trump declared Wednesday that Iran, quote, appears to be standing down in the wake of missile strikes on American bases in Iraq that he said resulted in no casualties.
00:48:20.000He said, quote, the American people should be extremely grateful and happy.
00:48:24.000No Americans were harmed in last night's attack by the Iranian regime.
00:48:28.000While the attacks marked the latest escalation with Tehran in the precarious aftermath of a U.S.
00:48:33.000drone strike that killed the top Iranian general, they appeared to open the door to reducing tensions after it became clear that no American forces were killed.
00:48:42.000Trump indicated Wednesday that he needed, rather that he indeed considers the nature of the strikes as a sign that Tehran has taken an off-ramp.
00:48:50.000The president's address comes after Iran fired as many as 15 ballistic missiles into Iraq.
00:48:56.00010 missiles hit the Al-Assad air base, which houses US troops.
00:49:00.000One missile hit a US military base in Erbil.
00:49:03.000And four missiles failed to hit their targets, according to a US military spokesman for Central Command.
00:49:08.000Which, you know, I have to laugh at that.
00:49:10.000A plane falls out of the sky, four missiles unaccounted for.
00:49:34.000defense officials told Fox News the U.S.
00:49:36.000military did not attempt to shoot down the ballistic missiles because there were no American military assets in place to intercept them.
00:49:43.000The Patriot and Avenger anti-missile defense systems are deployed to other locations in the Middle East, but not to the two Iraqi bases targeted by Iran.
00:49:52.000So I know a lot of people are wondering, why did we not use anti-ballistic missile tech to take out these missiles?
00:49:59.000I guess they say it's because there's not enough ABMs or ABM systems to go around.
00:50:05.000You know, they can't protect every single base and the ones that Iran targeted did not have ABMs.
00:51:59.000Many people in my mentions on Twitter have actually compared this, and a Super Chatter last night, compared this to our serious strike in 2017.
00:52:09.000If you recall, in April 2017, the United States accused Bashar al-Assad of using chemical weapons.
00:52:17.000I use the word accused because it was later pointed out, it was later discovered by certain groups that Bashar al-Assad never used chemical weapons, which I guess is not important anymore.
00:52:28.000Maybe it is if people are still keeping score at home, but Bashar al-Assad never used chemical weapons, but at the time, we had accused him of using chemical weapons.
00:52:36.000This was a big deal because Trump laid out a red line before that, prior, and said that if Bashar al-Assad uses chemical weapons, we will strike them.
00:52:46.000And a big part of President Trump establishing the Trump Doctrine of Foreign Policy was differentiating and distinguishing it from the Obama Doctrine.
00:53:00.000In 2013, after he had laid out the same red line after he had said we will not get involved in Syria in the Syrian civil war unless Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons, when Bashar al-Assad was accused of using chemical weapons in 2013, Barack Obama deferred to the Congress for whether or not we would intervene militarily, and Congress declined to intervene.
00:53:37.000He botched the red line and now the forces of Islam are on the march.
00:53:42.000I heard this for years when I was in high school.
00:53:44.000And so Trump, this was shortly after his inauguration, he had laid out the same red line and the whole shtick was Obama did not enforce red lines, I will.
00:53:54.000And so when Bashar al-Assad was accused of using chemical weapons in April 17, three months after the inauguration, Trump did a largely symbolic missile strike on Syria.
00:54:05.000It was 52 missiles, 52 Tomahawk missiles, launched from a ship in the Eastern Mediterranean, which hit an airfield in Syria.
00:54:27.000I don't remember all the exact details, but I do remember it was very minimal.
00:54:32.000And everybody, at least I called at the time, I called this as basically a face-saving maneuver.
00:54:39.000It was almost a completely symbolic gesture to demonstrate that Trump would be willing to use military force, but not actually meaningful enough to change the situation on the ground.
00:54:50.000You know, what he did on that day was not actually a meaningful military action that changed any kind of strategic situation within Syria.
00:54:59.000In the same way, Iran's rocket strike on the Al-Assad airbase in the base in Erbil
00:55:27.000Surely Iraq told the United States and the United States either evacuated the personnel or got them in shelter, got them in bunkers, whatever, to ensure that there would be no casualties.
00:55:38.000That way Iran almost guaranteed that nobody was going to die and therefore guaranteed that there would be no response from the United States, a military response from the United States.
00:55:48.000So, as this article says, yes, Iran did offer us an off-ramp to de-escalate and not, you know, have the situation spiral out of control.
00:55:56.000Because, as I pointed out on Monday, you know, I talked about the killing of Qasem Soleimani on Monday.
00:56:02.000What was so problematic about the killing of Soleimani is that it forced everybody's hands.
00:56:09.000You know, that we killed their top general in Iran means that Iran must respond, and they have to respond in a way that is very visible.
00:56:18.000You know, Iran cannot simply ignore the fact that the United States killed one of their top government officials.
00:56:23.000They have to respond, and they have to do it in such a manner that it sends a message to other people that Iran is not going to be pushed around, and you know, they have to
00:56:33.000You know, put their money where their mouth is, essentially.
00:56:35.000If they respond in a big way, for example, if they responded by killing American military personnel, if they responded by killing American citizens on American soil, something like that, well that would guarantee that the U.S.
00:56:47.000would have to respond, and then we would be in this cycle that could ultimately lead to war.
00:56:53.000You know, the problem with killing Soleimani is then we lose control of the situation.
00:56:57.000Everybody's forced to respond in order to save face, in order to
00:57:01.000You know, for all these foreign policy very, you know, weird foreign policy rules, people would be forced to respond and then get carried away and inevitably could lead to war.
00:57:11.000So Iran certainly gave us an off-ramp and Trump took it.
00:57:13.000You know, this is what I said yesterday, Trump should not respond to this.
00:57:23.000He said that we're going to apply sanctions and that's about it.
00:57:26.000But there are some very curious things about this statement in particular that tell us about Donald Trump himself and about this White House, this administration.
00:57:34.000So I'll go over a few choice quotes from the speech.
00:57:39.000Like I said, it was a very short speech, and I've basically distilled it into six main points here.
00:57:45.000So the first main point, and this was maybe the weirdest thing about the speech, I don't know, if you guys watched it, you'll know what I'm talking about.
00:57:52.000He walks out, you know, the door is open and closed behind him, he walks out to the microphone, and the first thing he says before anything else, he says, quote, as long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
00:59:41.000You know, Trump, that's the thesis of the speech.
00:59:43.000He says, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and that vindicates, you know, basically my whole approach and everything I said on the subject.
00:59:50.000He then goes on, another key point, key point number two, he says that there were no casualties.
00:59:56.000He says, I'm pleased to inform you the American people should be grateful and happy.
00:59:59.000No Americans were harmed in last night's attack.
01:00:29.000It's worth noting, how much more can we really do with sanctions?
01:00:34.000At this point in time, I think we've really exhausted the potential of sanctions.
01:00:38.000There's only so many sanctions that our country can put on Iran.
01:00:42.000Part of what made the Iran nuclear deal
01:00:46.000I don't know if you could say it's a good thing or a bad thing, but so significant was the fact that it overturned all the sanctions against Iran.
01:00:55.000Not just the sanctions from the United States, but like Security Council resolutions, sanctions from China, sanctions from Russia, sanctions from European countries.
01:01:05.000One of the big criticisms of the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 was about so-called snapback sanctions.
01:01:12.000The idea that, you know, a lot of people are concerned about, if Iran sheets on the nuclear deal, how can we hold them accountable?
01:01:19.000You know, if Iran doesn't adhere to some of the restrictions laid out in the deal, well, how can we then coerce them to conform to the deal?
01:01:28.000Well, Barack Obama said we could apply snapback sanctions.
01:01:32.000Only problem is, the sanctions regime against Iran, as it stood in 2015, had been built up over decades.
01:01:39.000You know, after decades of diplomacy and investigations by the IAEA and by, you know, deliberation of the Security Council and so on, we had built up an international sanctions regime where every country had put sanctions on Iran, including all the P5 countries.
01:01:54.000The Security Council had deliberated on this.
01:01:57.000You know, why that's particularly significant from the Security Council is that, of course, China and Russia have veto power in the Security Council.
01:02:05.000China and Russia are allies of Iran, and despite having veto power in the Security Council, we had passed resolutions there, which are binding, unlike the General Assembly, to put sanctions on Iran.
01:02:16.000So when in 2015 we let all the sanctions be overturned, it overturned them in all the countries.
01:02:22.000And so, you know, while we could put snapback sanctions on Iran, we could not rebuild an international sanctions regime from all these countries, including Russia and China.
01:02:31.000You know, that's why the sanctions against North Korea are particularly effective, because China has sanctions on North Korea and Russia has sanctions on North Korea, not just the United States.
01:02:42.000So, in any case, you know, Trump has said, well, we're gonna... that's a bit of a detour, but Trump said we're gonna put more sanctions on Iran.
01:02:50.000It's like, well, there's really not much more we can do without bringing on enlisting the help of other countries.
01:02:57.000And that leads me to the next key point here about the JCPOA.
01:03:03.000Trump says the very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout.
01:03:11.000Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism.
01:03:15.000The time has come for the UK, Germany, France, Russia and China to recognize this reality.
01:03:22.000Excuse me, they must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal or JCPOA and we must all work together to, excuse me, again, toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place.
01:03:35.000So he's now explicitly calling, and you know, this is just what I've been saying, not only is he going to put more sanctions on, but now he's calling on the European powers plus Russia and China to pull out of the JCPOA.
01:03:47.000You know, again, we pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018.
01:04:07.000So we pulled out in 2018, but all the other countries remained.
01:04:10.000Iran has so far been compliant with all the other parts of the deal, and all the other countries, you know, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, China, by them being part of the agreement, they cannot put sanctions on Iran.
01:04:23.000Because the deal was, if Iran makes these commitments to, you know, not enrich uranium beyond a certain percentage, and to only keep so many centrifuges, and so on,
01:04:32.000Then these countries cannot impose sanctions.
01:04:35.000So that's bowing the hands of our allies, but also our adversaries, that they cannot apply sanctions and that Iran has to have these restrictions on their program.
01:04:43.000Now, Iran recently said this week that they are now not adhering to any part of the deal.
01:04:49.000Iran has said, I think it was on Monday or Tuesday, that they are now going to exceed the uranium stockpiles laid out and they're gonna rich uranium.
01:04:57.000They're not gonna adhere to any part of the deal, in other words.
01:05:01.000Moving forward then, if Iran is in essence pulling out of the deal by violating all the terms of the deal, then will European countries put sanctions on violating the deal?
01:05:11.000I mean, this has basically blown up the whole Iran deal, in effect, is what I mean to say.
01:05:16.000The fifth part of the statement, Trump said, we must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper.
01:05:42.000THE DESTRUCTION OF ISIS IS GOOD FOR IRAN AND WE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER ON THIS AND OTHER SHARED PRIORITIES.
01:05:48.000FINALLY, TO THE PEOPLE AND LEADERS OF IRAN, WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A FUTURE AND A GREAT FUTURE, ONE THAT YOU DESERVE, ONE OF PROSPERITY AT HOME AND HARMONY WITH THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
01:05:59.000THE UNITED STATES IS READY TO EMBRACE PEACE WITH ALL WHO SEEK IT.
01:06:03.000You know, so to me, this was the most striking part of the speech, and this is where I'm vindicated yet again on Donald Trump and his foreign policy.
01:06:12.000Whenever people see a missile strike, Soleimani getting killed, aircraft carriers off the coast of Venezuela, they say, Neocon Don, Trump is a Zionist, blah blah blah.
01:06:22.000You know, we always hear the same stuff.
01:06:24.000And every time I say, you know, if you read between the lines, Trump is committed to not starting more wars.
01:06:30.000You know, you can read this in just about any statement.
01:06:32.000You can even read the statement where he pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal from 2018.
01:06:38.000When he talks to North Korea, when he announced, I forget which statement it was, but he gave a very big speech about North Korea in like spring or winter 2017.
01:06:49.000He was saying, we want North Korea to be rich and prosperous.
01:06:52.000We want to make peace and make a deal.
01:06:55.000That rhetoric is very consistent over the last three years, and it's also very different from the rhetoric of Obama and Bush.
01:07:04.000This is the Trump Doctrine, quintessential Trump Doctrine.
01:07:08.000Who, you know, how would a neocon give a statement after, you know, in the same statement actually, after he's also made similar statements in the past couple of weeks,
01:07:18.000Saying that Iran has blood on their hands, and they murder Americans, they're drenched in American blood, and they're the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
01:07:31.000Says all that, and then in the same statement, the same statement says, well, we want to make a deal that lets that same country thrive and prosper.
01:07:56.000Is that a statement that'd be approved by Benjamin Netanyahu?
01:07:59.000Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu wants there to be a new Iran nuclear deal that is improved and better and opens up like economic investment in Iran?
01:08:11.000Israel wants Iran to be severed into like a hundred pieces.
01:08:16.000Israel wants us to go in and do regime change in Iran, but consistently the messaging from the president in Iran has been sort of, again, it's the same Trump doctrine of, on the one hand, it's this bellicose, wild brinksmanship type rhetoric about fire and fury, and we're gonna destroy you, and you know, we're gonna blow up your cultural sites, 52 sites, one for every hostage, but then at the same time, but then going back and saying, we want to make a deal.
01:08:50.000That's been the Trump Doctrine from day one.
01:08:52.000If you don't believe me, look at North Korea.
01:08:55.000That's exactly what happened with North Korea.
01:08:57.000From February 2017 until January 2018, the rhetoric from Trump was the same as it is with Iran.
01:09:05.000And also, the military action was virtually the same.
01:09:09.000You know, I don't know if you guys remember, but throughout 2017 we were sending over... I think at one point we sent three carrier strike groups.
01:09:16.000to the Sea of Japan, which is like unprecedented.
01:09:19.000And we had been doing these Minuteman missile tests into the Pacific Ocean to match Kim Jong-un's ICBM tests, you know, threatening fire and fury and all this.
01:09:31.000And then in January 2018, Kim Jong-un said that we're going to march with South Korea in the Winter Olympics.
01:09:37.000And then in February or March, they said we want to meet with Donald Trump.
01:09:40.000And then in June, it was a North Korea summit.
01:09:43.000And Donald Trump said, I actually like Kim Jong-un.
01:09:50.000Now the notable difference is the, you know, Israel lobby.
01:09:54.000That's the notable difference is that Israel and Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and the usual suspects are not agitating for war with North Korea the same way that they are with Iran.
01:10:31.000The last part of the statement, which I thought was significant, is he says, the fact that we have great military equipment does not mean we have to use it.
01:11:07.000In his heart of hearts, you know, and maybe that might not mean anything if we end up in a war regardless, but I think this man does not want war, and that has shaped his foreign policy.
01:11:16.000You know, it is not an insignificant difference between this statement and what Hillary Clinton would be doing right now, or Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz for that matter.
01:11:24.000It's very telling that in each case where there is an opportunity, there was more than enough opportunity for us to escalate this
01:11:32.000Into something terrible, Trump has shown restraint and pulled us back from the brink.
01:11:37.000We killed Soleimani and I think that was very reckless.
01:12:01.000Or I think maybe our weakness might have invited a worse response from Iran.
01:12:05.000But in any case, this has been an optimal outcome for the United States.
01:12:09.000We have pulled back from the brink, and I don't think that's a coincidence that we pulled back from the brink in this instance, that we pulled back from the brink in the instance of the drone being shot down, or the two Gulf of Oman incidents.
01:12:21.000Or even pulling out of the JCPOA for that matter.
01:12:24.000I don't think it's a coincidence that this administration has avoided new wars.
01:12:29.000The last administration, the Obama administration, what did he campaign on in 2008?
01:12:33.000Barack Obama said we're going to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
01:12:39.000In fact, we reached the highest troop totals ever in Afghanistan under President Obama.
01:12:44.000Moreover, we started the war in Libya and we began the intervention in Syria.
01:12:48.000Unlike Barack Obama, who was supposed to be the anti-war liberal who came in right after George W. Bush, Donald Trump has, you know, I don't know what it looks like on the ground, but tried to get us out of Syria, has been negotiating with the Taliban to pull us out of Afghanistan, and has not started any new conflicts, has pulled back from the brink where we could have been with Iran.
01:13:13.000We have to give credit where credit is due.
01:13:15.000And I think we have to be, you know, I would be charitable towards this president regardless, but I think the record has been pretty good so far in foreign policy.
01:13:23.000You have to give credit where credit is due.
01:13:25.000You know, a lot of people are freaking out the other day.
01:13:27.000Neocon, Don, Zionists, all this kind of stuff.
01:13:29.000But, you know, he continues to impress as far as I'm concerned.
01:13:33.000I read the statement, I don't see any, I have no problem with anything in here.
01:13:37.000You know, there's some ridiculous stuff about, you know, terrorist nation and drenched in American blood.
01:13:42.000I guess that's obligatory, but a little bit silly.
01:13:45.000But for the most part, the rest is on point, saying American military might is a deterrent.
01:14:31.000Some people have pointed out that perhaps the Iranians, or rather the Iranian regime, excuse me, was threatened by Qasem Soleimani.
01:14:40.000Some have speculated that Qasem Soleimani posed a threat to people in the regime, that he could have usurped the power of the Ayatollah, or of the president, or something like that, and that the Iranians wanted him dead, and that they orchestrated this charade behind the scenes.
01:14:57.000And they basically made a deal and said, you kill Qasem Soleimani,
01:15:01.000And you'll get this big win and we'll retaliate.
01:15:03.000You know, we'll do this face-saving thing.
01:16:21.000Is that after all the dust has settled with Iran, the real situation, the real aftermath will be what is our relationship with the Iraqi government?
01:16:30.000Because while we've all been wondering what Iran will do, how Trump will respond and so on, the sort of subplot or the other narrative that's been happening is that the Iraqi government is pissed
01:16:42.000That we've brought this on their country.
01:16:44.000That we killed the leader of the Popular Mobilization Unit.
01:16:48.000You know, Iraq passed a non-binding resolution 48 hours ago saying they want us out of their country.
01:16:53.000You know, people are focused on the missile strikes, but to me that's the big subtext.
01:16:59.000That'll be, to me, the big consequence, is friction between Iraq and the United States, which is good.
01:17:04.000Maybe that means a path where we can finally leave.
01:17:08.000So, maybe that's the silver lining, the white pill in all of this, is that it paves a way for us to start pulling out of the Middle East.
01:17:15.000Maybe that's what the ultimate deal will look like.
01:17:17.000If we can make some kind of deal with Iran, you could say that it's less necessary for us to be stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.
01:17:25.000But I don't want to get too optimistic.
01:17:27.000I don't want to get anybody's hopes up.
01:18:46.000I guess it's one of those memes that just got retired.
01:18:58.000Matt says regarding yesterday's super chat what is it is a film and an essay the film is definitely out there but the essay is brilliant try googling what is it essay Crispin Glover read at your leisure or don't I actually read it today I had searched it up on the show yesterday and I had the Wikipedia page for the movie and I was like well he said it's an essay
01:19:21.000So I looked up what you just told me, and I found the essay, and it was... I don't know if it was brilliant.
01:21:34.000And people take this to mean, oh, he's pro-war.
01:21:36.000Not that I'm pro-war, it's that I'm not ideologically anti-war.
01:21:41.000And just because I don't think that protecting heritage sites is not a good reason to refrain from war doesn't mean that I think we shouldn't refrain from war, right?
01:24:18.000Chicken on a raft says, Libertarians be like, the gold standard would solve everything as they look for a reliable Somali-made car for literally any price.
01:28:31.000Even when I was a kid, I remember one time, she called me a Jagoff when I was like six, and I went into her Razor phone, her Motorola Razor phone, and I changed my contact to Jagoff, and then her phone was ringing one time, and it said Jagoff, she answered.
01:28:49.000Somebody's like, oh, your phone's ringing, and she picked up, and she was like, oh, hi, Nicholas, and it was,
01:33:46.000By the way, I've completely usurped him in relevancy and that's very funny to me.
01:33:53.000He tweeted, To the people of Iran, there are millions of Americans who do not want war, who do not hate you, and who respect your nation and its history.
01:34:01.000After our traitorous elite is brought to justice, we hope to achieve peace, reconciliation, and forgiveness.
01:34:22.000I'm also not, like, a liberal internationalist who believes that, like, America's an imperialist and we just need to, like, back down, man, and then everything will be fine.
01:35:11.000You know, that's why boomers are a little bit epic when they talk about this stuff.
01:35:17.000Chris says, hey big guy Ozzy vet here found you through Jim's Nick versus the world stream during the groper war Enjoy your work both funny and true.
01:35:25.000Hopefully there are no more pointless sand wars the Afghan war gained us nothing Well, hey, thanks a lot.
01:35:32.000He's a good he's a good guy But yeah, thanks, I agree Afghan we're actually worse off in Iran than when we started the Taliban controls more of Afghanistan Excuse me.
01:35:43.000They control more of Afghanistan than they did like years ago
01:36:41.000I sent it to my friends and we were laughing at it.
01:36:44.000Well, actually, I don't know if I... I'd probably have to scroll out very far to find it, but it was like, it was like, TinfoilHatTime, maybe the war with Iran is intended to kill dissident right youth.
01:36:56.000So in other words, this guy's idea was that
01:37:01.000The Pentagon was going to start a war with Iran so that they could draft, like, Jaden McNeil and me, and then we would die in the war.
01:37:09.000And that was, like, why they started the war.
01:37:11.000That's what somebody said in my replies.
01:37:14.000TinfoilHatTime, maybe the Pentagon started the war with Iran so that they would draft Zoomers, particularly dissident-right Zoomers, who would die in the war.
01:38:25.000I've heard a lot of that, but I don't think that the Iranian-American relationship is good enough to have that level of cooperation and trust.
01:38:33.000To be doing those kinds of covert operations, it just seems completely unrealistic to me.
01:38:40.000Emo says hey big guy my GF said you were cute last week, so I'm beating her out of spite Keep up the good work though.
01:39:30.000I don't know what everybody's everybody's trashing him He's just uh, you know people keep saying he's cross-dressing.
01:39:36.000It's like he's not really like cross-dressing, you know In the sense that when Steven Crowder wears girls clothes He's wearing girls clothes and a wig and makeup and he's acting like he's a girl
01:39:49.000Not to split hairs here, but that's different than like wearing a ridiculous anime girls costume at an anime convention, but you're just like a guy and it's just like a funny joke.
01:40:19.000If he were going around with, like, makeup and a wig and he was, like, trying to pass as a woman, well, that would be different.
01:40:25.000If he was wearing, like, regular girls' clothes and makeup and long hair and was, like, doing a girl's voice and, like, you know, acting like a girl, well, then I would be like, okay, that's weird.
01:41:03.000Baraj says, do you think it's strange that Trump demanded Iraq pay for the military base before withdrawal and then that base was destroyed the next day?
01:41:10.000No, because the base wasn't destroyed.
01:41:14.000It was... I mean, I understand some of it was, like, damaged, but... I don't know if it was, like... It's inoperable.
01:41:20.000Adelphus says, I drive a red truck I call Horowitz.
01:47:02.000Jordan Dyrus has got clowned by the GC because I sent you a $2 super chat thanking you for following my last account and you were like, who are you?
01:47:44.000You were dripping in the merch the other day.

01:50:20.000And Charlie Kirk sat there and condoned it as a Christian.
01:50:24.000Catboy Cammy is not even gay to begin with.
01:50:26.000You know, the worst you could say about him is that he's a coomer, right, or degenerate in some fashion.
01:50:31.000But he's also somebody who's red-pilled on all the red issues, is a social conservative, even if he didn't arrive there, even if he doesn't practice it, even if he didn't arrive there through religious arguments or religious reasons.
01:50:48.000And beyond that, I'm not, you know, I'm not going on tour with Catboy Cammy and having a platform and, you know, if he were on stage saying the things Rob Smith was saying or Lady Maga was saying, well, I wouldn't have him on stage and if he was on stage, I'd push back.
01:52:10.000Yeah, he said he was gonna be there and I don't know if you guys remember but he was wearing that yellow coat and He was there with who was it aids Bjorn.
01:52:20.000They had a face-off So I was like a nobody when I met him I remember taking a picture with him and I was just like some guy I that was before I think I was even doing my show on on YouTube that was before I was even doing my show for RSPN and
01:54:18.000Sick nothing says Richard be like they see a face like mine and also Richard.

01:55:00.000But if you look at that picture, you have to actually look kind of closely at it.
01:55:06.000I asked him about this because I used to watch his DLive streams when he was on DLive like way back over the summer and he uses it as a straw.
01:55:15.000It's attached to like this big like jug of water that he would be drinking out of and I was like dude like why do you have that that's disgusting and he would say oh I use this to drink water and you know he would pull it up and I know that sounds retarded but that's what it is and if you watch any of his streams then you would see this but you know.
01:55:33.000But disavow- all these people are like, will you disavow?
02:00:03.000Like, I thought math is math, but she's telling me, like, well, Common Core does this with math and blah blah blah, and I said to my kids' teachers, they're not gonna learn this math, and blah blah blah, how could you not know what math your kids are in?
02:00:15.000And I'm like, uh, yeah, I can't relate.
