00:00:22.000 Hello.
00:01:43.000 I think we're ready.
00:01:45.000 I think we've got enough people in here.
00:01:47.000 We're up to 2 30.
00:01:51.000 Well, we have to talk, folks.
00:01:53.000 We have to talk about serious strike.
00:02:00.000 Vindicated again.
00:02:01.000 First of all, we just got to say vindicated again.
00:02:03.000 Anybody who disagrees with the following analysis, not an intelligent person, not a smart person.
00:02:11.000 Because I'm going to lay it down, I'm going to break down the facts for you.
00:02:15.000 I'm going to break down the data.
00:02:17.000 We're going to look at the data.
00:02:20.000 And I'll show you why I'm right.
00:02:22.000 Because I've been smug about it.
00:02:23.000 I've been joking.
00:02:24.000 I've been trolling my followers.
00:02:26.000 I've been trolling my followers awesome style.
00:02:30.000 But let's get serious.
00:02:32.000 Can I get serious with you for a moment? 0.99
00:02:35.000 Can I get real with you for one fucking second? 0.99
00:02:40.000 Let's break it down. 0.99
00:02:42.000 Let's break it down.
00:02:46.000 Well, how should we even begin?
00:02:48.000 Let's look at the facts of the strike.
00:02:51.000 We have a strike.
00:02:53.000 They say it was double the amount of Tomahawk missiles as last year.
00:02:57.000 Just Tomahawk missiles.
00:03:00.000 Double the amount of last year.
00:03:02.000 Last year was 59.
00:03:03.000 So they say something in the ballpark of 120 missiles launched against three facilities in Syria.
00:03:13.000 And they said these were.
00:03:15.000 Refresh my memory, which.
00:03:17.000 What did they strike?
00:03:19.000 Let me pull it up real quick from Spectator.
00:03:23.000 All three facilities were relating to the production and the deployment, allegedly, of chemical weapons.
00:03:31.000 So let's see from Spectator Index.
00:03:34.000 It was the US, the UK, and France.
00:03:37.000 They did approximately 120 cruise missiles on Syrian regime targets on chemical weapon production facilities in Damascus and Homs.
00:03:49.000 And these strikes are complete.
00:03:51.000 So these were the strikes.
00:03:53.000 What we learned since the strikes from the news is that all these facilities were empty when they were struck.
00:04:01.000 And why were they empty?
00:04:03.000 They were empty because Trump gave Syria five days' notice that a strike was happening.
00:04:11.000 So Trump struck three targets, all related to chemical weapons production.
00:04:15.000 People said he bombed suburbs, he bombed civilians.
00:04:18.000 All of that is unconfirmed.
00:04:20.000 What is confirmed is he had three targets pertaining to the production and deployment and research of chemical weapons, and all the facilities were empty.
00:04:29.000 All of them were empty.
00:04:30.000 And we know they were empty because, of course, they would be empty.
00:04:35.000 Because Assad had five days to evacuate them.
00:04:38.000 Because Trump consistently and repeatedly, over the course of five days, warned the regime that strikes were coming.
00:04:46.000 So, in total, before we even get into any more analysis, let's think about that for a moment.
00:04:53.000 What effect does that have on the Syrian military?
00:04:56.000 Does that make or break the Assad government's capacity to wage war against rebels and ISIS significantly?
00:05:04.000 Nope.
00:05:06.000 Is that really a disastrous strike?
00:05:08.000 Is that an international scandal that you're probably going to have very, very few casualties with a 120 missile strike?
00:05:16.000 Just think about that for a moment.
00:05:18.000 If the idea is that Trump is about to wage war in Syria, this is some way to do it. 0.95
00:05:24.000 That's some way to do it. 0.78
00:05:25.000 I'm going to go to war against a country, and before I do, I'm going to warn them for a week beforehand that I'm coming.
00:05:31.000 And then when I do, I'm going to bomb exactly three facilities that are empty.
00:05:37.000 I'm not going to bomb 50 like was originally reported or 70. 0.96
00:05:41.000 I'm going to bomb three.
00:05:43.000 Last year he bombed one. 0.79
00:05:45.000 This year he bombed three.
00:05:46.000 Three facilities with no people in them. 0.99
00:05:49.000 I bet he's starting a war.
00:05:49.000 Yeah.
00:05:51.000 I bet that's the prelude to war. 0.95
00:05:53.000 And people are comparing it to Iraq. 0.69
00:05:55.000 What was the buildup to Iraq?
00:05:56.000 What did that look like?
00:05:58.000 What did the buildup to Iraq look like?
00:06:00.000 Let's see.
00:06:02.000 Let's see.
00:06:03.000 What did that look like?
00:06:06.000 12 years of low level attacks.
00:06:08.000 On Iraqi air defenses, no fly zones.
00:06:12.000 We had a decapitation strike, which was two Nighthawk stealth fighters dropping four satellite guided 2,000 pound bunker busters on a compound where they thought Saddam Hussein was.
00:06:29.000 And then for an opening attack, in seven hours they destroyed 70 military sites, and then over the course of the invasion, they deployed 467,000 military personnel.
00:06:42.000 So let's think about that.
00:06:44.000 Trump is like Bush because Bush did things in the Middle East and Trump did things in the Middle East.
00:06:49.000 Bush started a war in Afghanistan in 2001.
00:06:53.000 By 2003, there were 10,000 troops there.
00:06:56.000 And then in 2003, after 12 years of airstrikes, 12 years of no fly zones against the Saddam Hussein regime, after that, he did a 100 plus aircraft strike.
00:07:08.000 Then a decapitation strike on the regime using bunker buster bombs trying to kill Saddam Hussein.
00:07:14.000 Then they destroyed 70 military sites in seven hours without, by the way, alerting them it was going to happen five days beforehand.
00:07:21.000 And then a 450,000 troop invasion, not counting the 150,000 other coalition troops that were from Iraqi militias, the UK, France, and Poland.
00:07:31.000 Or not France, I'm sorry, the UK and Poland.
00:07:35.000 This year, we had 120 Tomahawk missiles on three empty facilities.
00:07:41.000 So, yeah, it's safe to say that Trump is Bush. 0.63
00:07:45.000 It's safe to say that that's definitely comparable.
00:07:47.000 And then that's the strike.
00:07:50.000 Let's look at what was said about the strike.
00:07:51.000 President Trump came on the air at like 7 30, I think.
00:07:57.000 7 30, 7 45. 0.99
00:07:59.000 And he said some very specific things that I think the black pillars missed because they're a little bit low IQ, they're high time preference, they're a little dumb. 0.96
00:08:08.000 They didn't quite catch these very specific things that he said, which is, For starters, he said that this was, he said this explicitly. 0.98
00:08:15.000 He said the reason we're doing this is to deter the use of chemical weapons and the proliferation of chemical weapons.
00:08:23.000 Chemical weapons are one of three weapons that fall under the category of weapons of mass destruction.
00:08:29.000 The others are nuclear and biological. 0.66
00:08:32.000 North Korea has all three.
00:08:34.000 So Trump says explicitly the reason for this strike is to deter the use of one class of weapons of mass destruction, not regime change.
00:08:44.000 Not to eliminate Assad, not to engage in the civil war in Syria, to deter the use of chemical weapons.
00:08:51.000 That's a big difference.
00:08:53.000 It's a big difference to say we are going to respond to the use of chemical weapons in this one instance than it is to say we are going to remove the Assad regime or we are going to spread democracy or we are going to liberate the people of Syria.
00:09:08.000 The rhetoric Israel is using about Iran is they're saying the Iranian people need to be liberated.
00:09:13.000 Did Trump say we need to liberate the people of Syria or did he say explicitly?
00:09:17.000 The interest, why we're doing this, to establish a legal basis for this limited strike is to deter the use of chemical weapons.
00:09:25.000 Gee, what's the meeting going to be about Trump and North Korea in the next month, in either May or early June?
00:09:34.000 It's to denuclearize the peninsula, get them to remove one class of weapons of mass destruction. 0.51
00:09:39.000 You think that sends a message to North Korea?
00:09:42.000 Maybe they just didn't, maybe they don't pick up on the significance.
00:09:44.000 That's number one.
00:09:46.000 Number two, he says explicitly, he says explicitly, we will not have an indefinite presence in Syria under no circumstances.
00:09:57.000 No indefinite presence in Syria under no circumstances.
00:10:02.000 That's a curious thing to say before a war.
00:10:04.000 Maybe he just doesn't mean it.
00:10:05.000 Then he said, We cannot fix the Middle East.
00:10:09.000 He said explicitly, we cannot fix the Middle East.
00:10:13.000 We can use action where it counts, but we cannot fix it. 1.00
00:10:17.000 It's a troubled place.
00:10:19.000 He said, the people in the region will determine the outcome.
00:10:24.000 That doesn't really sound like neocon rhetoric.
00:10:26.000 People say, it looks just like the buildup to Iraq.
00:10:30.000 It looks just like the buildup to Iraq.
00:10:32.000 Really?
00:10:34.000 Because we heard before Iraq that we had to go in and disarm Saddam Hussein, we had to liberate.
00:10:40.000 The Iraqi people.
00:10:42.000 We had to spread democracy.
00:10:44.000 We had to fight them abroad, fight terrorists abroad.
00:10:49.000 Trump says no indefinite presence.
00:10:51.000 We can't fix the region.
00:10:53.000 They have to determine their future.
00:10:55.000 The reason we're doing it is to deter the use of chemical weapons.
00:10:58.000 That's Trump.
00:11:00.000 People said, oh, but he said a sustained action in Syria.
00:11:04.000 Pentagon comes on at 9 o'clock, and what do they say?
00:11:07.000 One off strike.
00:11:08.000 It was a one off strike.
00:11:11.000 One of the generals said, Well, the first wave is over.
00:11:14.000 Then the defense secretary, the person in charge of the Pentagon, Mattis, said, No, no, this was a one off strike.
00:11:21.000 We have no future attacks planned, and we may do an attack if Assad uses chemical weapons again, but we have none planned right now. 0.64
00:11:29.000 Yeah, that definitely sounds like when you look at all the relevant details, this is how a war starts. 0.59
00:11:37.000 This is how a war starts.
00:11:38.000 A war starts with a president who warns.
00:11:41.000 The target of the war for a whole, basically a whole week that a strike is coming.
00:11:47.000 He bombs three facilities that are empty, that they've already, not only did they move the personnel out, but they used their military assets out, which this was reported earlier in the week.
00:11:58.000 And then he goes on the air, and the president says, We will not have a sustained occupation.
00:12:03.000 We will not determine the future.
00:12:05.000 We cannot determine the future.
00:12:07.000 And then the Pentagon comes on and says, We have nothing planned in the future.
00:12:11.000 This was in response to chemical weapons. 0.70
00:12:13.000 Yeah, that sounds like. 1.00
00:12:14.000 That sounds about right.
00:12:16.000 We're in the middle of a trade war.
00:12:18.000 We're in the middle of a war in Afghanistan.
00:12:21.000 We need to have a credible threat that we will go to war against North Korea to force them to denuclearize in next month's summit.
00:12:28.000 But yeah, Trump will definitely go to war in Syria.
00:12:33.000 He's been against that war in Syria for 40 years, non interventionist for 40 years.
00:12:38.000 He's been against war in Syria since at least 2013.
00:12:42.000 He was against the war in Iraq.
00:12:43.000 He campaigned on not going to war in Syria.
00:12:47.000 He said that we should withdraw all forces from Syria as recently as last week.
00:12:51.000 But what you don't understand, see Bill Mitchell, here's what you don't understand.
00:12:57.000 Trump just changed his mind.
00:13:00.000 He believes something for 40 years, specifically, he believes generally for 40 years in non intervention.
00:13:07.000 He believes since 2003 that invading countries is a bad idea and we can't fix the Middle East.
00:13:11.000 He believes since 2013 specifically that war in Syria is a bad thing.
00:13:15.000 He campaigned on it.
00:13:17.000 As recently as last week, he still believed all of this.
00:13:20.000 Wanted to get people out against the wishes of everyone in the Pentagon, the National Security Council, his allies.
00:13:27.000 But you see, then he changed his mind because of the chemical attacks. 0.62
00:13:31.000 And remember, we all know it's a ruse. 0.64
00:13:34.000 You are smart enough to know it's a ruse.
00:13:37.000 Him? 1.00
00:13:37.000 He's dumb. 1.00
00:13:37.000 No. 1.00
00:13:39.000 I'm 19.
00:13:40.000 I'm smart enough to know it's a ruse, but he doesn't. 1.00
00:13:42.000 You, 17 year old autist, you understand it's a ruse, but he's just too dumb. 1.00
00:13:49.000 He's too dumb. 1.00
00:13:49.000 He's not in on it. 1.00
00:13:50.000 So he changed his mind.
00:13:52.000 He saw one chemical attack and he changed his mind because John Bolton told him to.
00:13:56.000 Trump is a fighter.
00:13:58.000 He resists all the time.
00:13:59.000 He fights everyone.
00:14:00.000 He's a puncher.
00:14:01.000 He doesn't want to be controlled.
00:14:02.000 He's not a puppet.
00:14:03.000 But John Bolton told him to.
00:14:04.000 So he had to.
00:14:06.000 And so we are now, and look, guys, I'm off the Trump train because now we're going to war against Syria.
00:14:12.000 We're starting this war by warning for a whole week that we were going to start strikes. 0.82
00:14:19.000 Sunday, we'll have a strong response.
00:14:21.000 Monday, an announcement on our response is imminent.
00:14:24.000 Tuesday, an announcement from the Pentagon is imminent.
00:14:27.000 Wednesday, we'll make a decision soon.
00:14:29.000 Thursday, we'll make a decision tonight.
00:14:31.000 Friday, okay, now the strikes are coming.
00:14:33.000 This is how the war begins.
00:14:34.000 No, really, think about it. 0.70
00:14:35.000 This is the strategy.
00:14:37.000 Here's how we do it we warn them for weeks that an attack is coming.
00:14:41.000 They evacuate all their relevant personnel and equipment.
00:14:44.000 Then we hit a few sites, like three of them, while they're all empty.
00:14:48.000 And then we say, that's okay, we don't plan on hitting anymore.
00:14:51.000 And then we make overtures to cooperate with the two client states of Syria.
00:14:55.000 Then, in the same statement that Trump makes, we make overtures and tell Russia, actually, we'd like to work with you.
00:15:01.000 We could work with Russia and Iran.
00:15:03.000 If you cooperate with us. 0.74
00:15:05.000 And then you also say it's not feasible for us to determine the fate of the Middle East and that the Middle East will decide the fate of the Middle East. 0.95
00:15:12.000 But trust me, but the war is still on.
00:15:14.000 Nick Fuentes was wrong.
00:15:16.000 The war is still on.
00:15:17.000 This is how it begins.
00:15:18.000 Just like last year.
00:15:20.000 Just like last year.
00:15:21.000 100,000 troops in Syria by June 1st.
00:15:24.000 Remember that one? 1.00
00:15:25.000 Remember that fucking idiot? 1.00
00:15:28.000 100,000 troops in Syria by June 1st. 1.00
00:15:30.000 They said this last April.
00:15:32.000 Last April, after the one off strike, they said the same thing.
00:15:37.000 100,000 troops in Syria by June 1st.
00:15:39.000 Did that ever materialize?
00:15:41.000 Or are there still 2,000 troops in Syria?
00:15:43.000 And before anybody says, we shouldn't have any troops in Syria, there's 17,000 troops in Italy.
00:15:48.000 So we have, do the math for me there, we have 20% of the troops in Syria that we do in Italy.
00:15:57.000 What war is going on in Italy?
00:15:59.000 So it's just goofy.
00:16:01.000 And then people are going to lump in their overall grievances about Trump.
00:16:04.000 They're going to say, duh, but we don't have a wall, but we have a strike in Syria.
00:16:09.000 Duh.
00:16:10.000 Yeah, who is tasked with appropriating money?
00:16:13.000 Can anybody?
00:16:13.000 I don't have my constitution down here, but can somebody tell me who has the constitutional authority to appropriate taxpayer money?
00:16:21.000 Because last time I checked, it's not the president, it's the House of Representatives.
00:16:25.000 And last I checked, Donald Trump isn't in charge of the House of Representatives.
00:16:29.000 So Trump can attack Syria, but he can't build a wall? 0.96
00:16:34.000 Yeah, constitutionally, that's actually true.
00:16:39.000 And then people are going to say, why would he do this?
00:16:41.000 Why would he strike Syria if it was symbolic?
00:16:45.000 I have no idea why he would do that, and I'm not even going to think about it for more than five seconds.
00:16:51.000 Tell me, what were the circumstances of the strike last year?
00:16:54.000 Can anybody tell me what the context of the strike was last year?
00:16:58.000 What was going on at the same time that Trump did the same strike last year?
00:17:04.000 Who was at Mar a Lago?
00:17:06.000 Who was at the first face to face bilateral meeting with President Trump at Mar a Lago the same night of the strike?
00:17:15.000 Xi Jinping of China.
00:17:17.000 What did President Trump talk about in the press conference with the Jordanian king two days before the strike last year?
00:17:25.000 Two days before he sat down with Xi Jinping.
00:17:27.000 Did he talk about Syria or did he talk about North Korea?
00:17:32.000 Context, context.
00:17:34.000 Same thing happened last year.
00:17:36.000 President Trump struck Syria last year, limited strike, 59 missiles on an airfield that was operational within 24 hours of the strike.
00:17:44.000 At the same time that Mar-a-Lago and him were eating chocolate cake, excuse me, at the same time that Xi Jinping and Donald Trump were eating chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago, he struck Syria.
00:17:55.000 And why did he strike Syria? 0.68
00:17:57.000 Because they were proliferating. 0.99
00:17:59.000 Weapons of mass destruction.
00:18:00.000 They were illegally using weapons of mass destruction.
00:18:04.000 Hmm.
00:18:05.000 Who else could be doing such a thing?
00:18:07.000 Think China. 0.90
00:18:08.000 Who else could be doing such a thing? 0.98
00:18:11.000 Loud and clear.
00:18:12.000 The message was loud and clear.
00:18:13.000 Who immediately began to cooperate with the United States on North Korea after the strike? 0.89
00:18:17.000 It was China.
00:18:19.000 What's the context of this strike?
00:18:20.000 Why could he possibly do another symbolic strike against a rogue regime that is using weapons of mass destruction that, as a superpower client state, That is saying that they'll go to war if the United States strikes them.
00:18:32.000 Can we think of another similar scenario that's going on right now?
00:18:35.000 Because I think I see the same thing on the Korean Peninsula.
00:18:37.000 And I think I see that we have the best opportunity in 30 years to denuclearize that country with the summit.
00:18:47.000 And there it is, folks.
00:18:48.000 To explain it very simply, to explain it, I know this is very high IQ stuff.
00:18:53.000 I know this is very difficult for people to understand.
00:18:57.000 So let me break it down with a very simple analogy.
00:19:01.000 In high school, in consumer economics, they tell you that it's smart to take out a small loan from the bank and to pay it back.
00:19:09.000 And why do they say to do that?
00:19:10.000 Why do they say you go to the bank, you take out a small loan, and you pay it back?
00:19:15.000 They say to do that not because you need the money, not because you need the loan, not because you need to spend the loan money.
00:19:22.000 There's no reason to take out the loan.
00:19:24.000 The point is to demonstrate to the bank that you can pay it back and you raise your credit score.
00:19:31.000 So, that in the future, when you ask for money, when you ask for a little more money, they'll say, Well, you've shown you're responsible before.
00:19:37.000 You can pay back the money before.
00:19:39.000 We'll loan you money now.
00:19:40.000 In the same way, if Trump says, North Korea, denuclearize or else, they say, Yeah, okay.
00:19:47.000 You really going to do that?
00:19:48.000 A million people are going to die.
00:19:50.000 It's going to be really expensive.
00:19:51.000 It's going to be really unpopular with your base.
00:19:53.000 You're not going to do it.
00:19:54.000 We'll do another missile test.
00:19:55.000 We'll do another nuclear test.
00:19:57.000 Well, if Trump goes over next door and says, Oh, okay.
00:19:59.000 And he says, Syria.
00:20:02.000 Don't use chemical weapons or else.
00:20:03.000 And they say, whatever.
00:20:05.000 Bam, you blow them up.
00:20:06.000 No consequences, by the way. 0.93
00:20:08.000 In the Middle East, we can do it with no consequences.
00:20:11.000 Syria says after this strike, it was a limited strike.
00:20:13.000 No problem, basically.
00:20:15.000 Russia says there'll be consequences.
00:20:17.000 Can't wait to see what that is.
00:20:19.000 We can do that.
00:20:20.000 We do it again.
00:20:20.000 Bam.
00:20:21.000 Syria, don't use chemical weapons.
00:20:23.000 Oh, use them?
00:20:24.000 Bam, another strike.
00:20:25.000 We go to Korea in the summit and we say, disarm your nuclear weapons or else.
00:20:30.000 They say, Now we don't know.
00:20:32.000 Now we're uncertain.
00:20:34.000 Is he bluffing?
00:20:35.000 Did he do that in Syria symbolically or did he mean it?
00:20:41.000 I can't really afford the risk that he's not bluffing.
00:20:45.000 Rather, that he is bluffing. 0.55
00:20:49.000 So people say, well, Nick, if you can see through it, how come North Korea can't see through it? 0.69
00:20:52.000 They understand what's going on.
00:20:54.000 They can't afford to assume it's a bluff.
00:20:58.000 Because if they're wrong, and they very well could be wrong, I think they could be wrong, then.
00:21:04.000 They've got a problem. 1.00
00:21:05.000 Then they're all going to die and they're all going to go to hell. 1.00
00:21:08.000 So there you have it. 0.99
00:21:10.000 It's very, folks, this is why I'm smug about it, why I joke about it.
00:21:16.000 It's not just, you know, people say, Nick, you're Bill Mitchell.
00:21:19.000 It's four dimensional chess.
00:21:21.000 Bill Mitchell will agree with Trump no matter what he does.
00:21:23.000 If Trump actually went to war in Syria, Bill Mitchell would be for it.
00:21:27.000 If Trump actually went to war in Syria, I would be against it. 0.90
00:21:30.000 Bill Mitchell is for Trump because he's Trump.
00:21:33.000 I'm for Trump because I know Trump, not personally, but I look at the facts of the situation.
00:21:41.000 I look at the character of the man.
00:21:43.000 I look at his history.
00:21:44.000 I look at his decision-making process.
00:21:47.000 And I say that it's likely that these outcomes are going to happen as opposed to these.
00:21:54.000 And so, in this case, I think it's far more likely, given what we know about the strike, that it's symbolic than that it was intended to degrade Assad's capability to conduct war.
00:22:04.000 Not because he's Trump and I'm loyal and I have faith and I'm optimistic.
00:22:08.000 It's got nothing to do with that.
00:22:09.000 I'm not optimistic.
00:22:11.000 I'm not optimistic at all. 1.00
00:22:13.000 But I think if you were to tell me that this is the beginning to a war, I would remind you of the relevant details and I'd say you're an idiot. 0.99
00:22:20.000 On four dimensional chess, this is not complicated stuff. 1.00
00:22:23.000 This is standard negotiating.
00:22:24.000 This is standard negotiating.
00:22:26.000 How do we increase our leverage?
00:22:27.000 How do we persuade North Korea that they should give up their nuclear weapons?
00:22:33.000 We persuade them that the alternative is worse.
00:22:35.000 The alternative is war.
00:22:37.000 How do we persuade them we're serious about it?
00:22:39.000 Well, we make threats elsewhere and follow up on them, and it's less costly to do it elsewhere. 0.83
00:22:44.000 Because if we do a missile strike on Syria, they're not even a coherent country anymore. 0.51
00:22:49.000 If we do a missile strike on Syria, they're not going to kill a million people with nuclear weapons. 0.81
00:22:54.000 That's why.
00:22:55.000 So it's not four dimensional, it's not complicated.
00:22:58.000 It's basic strategy, and it happened last year, and nobody's willing to admit it because then there'd be no credibility for them to forecast this strike.
00:23:08.000 But I was right last year.
00:23:09.000 I did predict it last year when I was on RSPN.
00:23:12.000 So there you have it.
00:23:14.000 I mean, I'm so smug because if you're not emotionally unstable, if you can think rationally for five seconds, and if you watched the show earlier, I heard some of the quotes from the Trump statement where he said there'd be a sustained strike, and I was worried.
00:23:30.000 I said, This doesn't look good.
00:23:32.000 But then I looked at the facts and I said, oh, there it is. 0.78
00:23:36.000 People like to clown. 0.79
00:23:38.000 They like to clown. 0.56
00:23:39.000 They like to freak out, throw their temper tantrum.
00:23:41.000 It's a big dopamine rush.
00:23:42.000 I'm really mad.
00:23:43.000 I'm venting.
00:23:44.000 My life is terrible.
00:23:46.000 So I'll get mad about something totally unrelated, and people will give me likes, and I will get dopamine in my system.
00:23:52.000 You know, I don't have a girlfriend.
00:23:55.000 My life is hard.
00:23:56.000 Trump blew up Syria.
00:23:59.000 Now I'm mad.
00:24:00.000 Like my post, please.
00:24:02.000 Trump, more like Bush.
00:24:04.000 Thanks for the likes, guys.
00:24:05.000 Didn't do any of the research, but thanks for the likes.
00:24:08.000 Now I feel a little better. 1.00
00:24:10.000 You're dumb. 1.00
00:24:10.000 You're just dumb. 1.00
00:24:12.000 You know, the next time Trump does something you don't like, or he says something you don't like, do me a favor. 1.00
00:24:17.000 Stop.
00:24:19.000 Breathe.
00:24:21.000 Think.
00:24:22.000 Wait for more details.
00:24:24.000 Analyze the details.
00:24:26.000 Think about the conclusions.
00:24:28.000 Do the facts fit with this conclusion, or do they fit with this conclusion?
00:24:33.000 Trump bombs three empty facilities after giving them five days' notice.
00:24:37.000 Says there's no further strikes planned.
00:24:39.000 We cannot determine the future of the Middle East. 0.69
00:24:41.000 We have no plan on determining the future of the Middle East.
00:24:45.000 Does that fit with the idea that Trump is going to war or that Trump did a symbolic strike?
00:24:50.000 I don't care. 0.88
00:24:51.000 I'm just going to punch a hole in the wall because it feels good. 0.97
00:24:53.000 I'm going to throw furniture around. 1.00
00:24:55.000 Trump's a Jewish puppet. 1.00
00:24:57.000 He's not going to be forgiven for this one. 1.00
00:25:00.000 I'm sure Blumf is finished this time.
00:25:02.000 Nice coat post, Nick. 1.00
00:25:04.000 Nick, just shut up. 0.99
00:25:05.000 You know, it's like. 1.00
00:25:06.000 This is why I have no respect for the black pill. 1.00
00:25:08.000 This is why I have no respect for black pillars. 1.00
00:25:12.000 They're dumb. 1.00
00:25:13.000 They're losers. 1.00
00:25:15.000 They poop their pants like little babies. 1.00
00:25:17.000 They should wear diapers like Charlie Kirk. 1.00
00:25:20.000 No respect for them. 0.50
00:25:22.000 See, and there it is.
00:25:23.000 Trump is Jude, Nick.
00:25:24.000 Quit pretending otherwise.
00:25:26.000 Nice counter argument.
00:25:28.000 That's the thing.
00:25:29.000 There is no counter argument.
00:25:30.000 So people rely on things such as Nice coat post, Nick.
00:25:36.000 Nick, you're sounding, I like you, but you're sounding like Bill Mitchell.
00:25:40.000 Nick, oh, it's four dimensional chess again?
00:25:44.000 You know, these are not arguments.
00:25:44.000 Okay.
00:25:46.000 We need to go to war with black pillars. 1.00
00:25:48.000 It's true. 1.00
00:25:49.000 Black pillars on notice. 0.99
00:25:50.000 You will be humiliated by the knife. 1.00
00:25:53.000 And people say, Nick, you shouldn't be trolling them so hard.
00:25:56.000 We have to.
00:25:58.000 There's room for legitimate criticism, always.
00:26:01.000 You think this is a bad strategy?
00:26:04.000 I won't make fun of you.
00:26:04.000 It's your right.
00:26:06.000 I won't.
00:26:07.000 You can criticize this, believe me.
00:26:09.000 Am I pissed off?
00:26:10.000 There's no wall?
00:26:11.000 Yep.
00:26:12.000 Is that Trump's fault?
00:26:13.000 He should be doing more.
00:26:15.000 Is this strategy the best strategy?
00:26:17.000 I don't know.
00:26:17.000 Maybe it's not.
00:26:18.000 Maybe it is.
00:26:20.000 But there's a place for mild criticism, and then there's a place for being a big baby temper tantrum, fairweather fan. 1.00
00:26:28.000 Every time Trump says something I don't like, he's an idiot. 1.00
00:26:31.000 I hate him. 1.00
00:26:32.000 He's a Jewish puppet. 1.00
00:26:34.000 And then, here's the best part. 1.00
00:26:35.000 And then, two weeks later, when they get proven wrong, they come back and say, Oh, that temper tantrum where I called you an idiot and I told you to shut up and I said Trump was a dummy and you're dumb for supporting him? 1.00
00:26:47.000 That was all just pressure. 1.00
00:26:48.000 That was all criticism so that he would follow through on his promises.
00:26:52.000 Not buying it anymore.
00:26:53.000 Not buying it anymore. 1.00
00:26:54.000 Idiot. 1.00
00:26:55.000 Right? 1.00
00:26:56.000 That's the best.
00:26:58.000 The night of, or the day of DACA.
00:27:00.000 The day when Trump, it was a Tuesday in January, the day when Trump in that meeting with Republicans and Democrats said, I'll sign anything on DACA.
00:27:10.000 I want to give away DACA.
00:27:11.000 And people said, Nick, you'll defend this because you're Bill Mitchell.
00:27:16.000 You're a shill.
00:27:17.000 You lie for money. 0.98
00:27:19.000 You make things up and lie so that people will pay you. 1.00
00:27:23.000 And you're probably Jewish or a Fed. 1.00
00:27:26.000 And Trump sold out and he's an idiot and blah, blah, blah. 1.00
00:27:30.000 And then a month later, when that got completely disproven, then it was. 1.00
00:27:35.000 No, Nick, but there's a place for mild criticism.
00:27:38.000 You can't totally countersignal people criticizing the president. 0.56
00:27:42.000 I understand you're against black pillars, but what are you saying? 0.96
00:27:45.000 We can't criticize anybody ever?
00:27:47.000 Obviously not.
00:27:48.000 But there's a big difference.
00:27:50.000 People come to me all the time.
00:27:51.000 They say, Nick, I don't know if I totally buy your theory, but I think it's coherent.
00:27:55.000 And I just don't think that's the best approach.
00:27:57.000 And I say, yeah, fair enough.
00:27:58.000 Makes sense.
00:27:59.000 That really makes sense to me.
00:28:01.000 But when people come in, when I say, well, here's what Trump said, It's likely he'll do this, and people say, You're wow, just wow.
00:28:08.000 You're doing this? 0.99
00:28:09.000 Shut up. 1.00
00:28:10.000 It's like you're going to have to get blocked because you're not intelligent enough to understand my posts. 1.00
00:28:16.000 That's just a fact. 0.88
00:28:17.000 You're not intelligent enough to understand my posts, or really for me to interact with.
00:28:22.000 And you're going to bring a negativity to my life that I don't deserve.
00:28:26.000 I'm coming out with great posts and content, and you're going to be negative.
00:28:30.000 I don't deserve that.
00:28:30.000 I'm not going to have it.
00:28:32.000 You're going to get knifed, you're going to get nugget cancellation. 0.84
00:28:39.000 So, probably right about the symbolic angle. 0.95
00:28:42.000 Yeah, okay, and that's fair enough. 0.98
00:28:43.000 Saying it further entangles us in Syria is a legitimate criticism. 0.72
00:28:48.000 And that's a risk.
00:28:49.000 That's a big risk that we're taking.
00:28:53.000 I don't think that's a warranted idea, but I certainly understand that angle.
00:28:58.000 I don't think it's that risky. 0.61
00:29:01.000 I think it increases the likelihood we're entangled in Syria, but I think the rewards outweigh the risks. 0.80
00:29:06.000 But you can have the opposite opinion. 0.56
00:29:08.000 That doesn't make me a shill that would be okay with war in Syria.
00:29:11.000 That just means I have a different idea of how facts conform to conclusions. 0.75
00:29:17.000 We can do that.
00:29:17.000 See, that's easy.
00:29:19.000 Is this a win for Israel, Nick? 0.74
00:29:20.000 I wonder why Israel prefers ISIS to Assad. 0.86
00:29:23.000 We know why Israel prefers ISIS to Assad because Assad fields Iranian power projection and ISIS doesn't. 0.67
00:29:31.000 I don't think it is a win for Israel. 0.51
00:29:33.000 Israel wants Assad to be eliminated.
00:29:35.000 That's not what happened here tonight.
00:29:38.000 When John Bolton was advocating for a much larger involvement and Trump and Mattis said no, I think that's a loss for Israel.
00:29:45.000 Here, Israel had a casus belli for the United States to decapitate the Syrian regime.
00:29:51.000 And we rejected that. 0.94
00:29:52.000 So, yeah, big brain ideas are not typical of Black Pillars. 1.00
00:29:57.000 And watch all these Black Pillars, they'll be right back on board in a week, two weeks, three weeks, and I'll be vindicated. 0.98
00:30:04.000 It's just, it's a rerun of my favorite show. 0.92
00:30:07.000 Every time it's a rerun of my favorite show.
00:30:09.000 And it's the same plot, it's the same characters, it's the same devices every time.
00:30:16.000 DACA, Iran, Serious Strike 1, Serious Strike 2, you name it, we've been there.
00:30:23.000 If Russia doesn't hit back, then Trump will be fine.
00:30:25.000 Let me tell you something.
00:30:26.000 If they didn't shoot down the missiles, we really don't have to worry.
00:30:30.000 Russia is not going to allow the United States to bomb Syria and then respond with a military strike against the United States.
00:30:40.000 That just simply won't happen.
00:30:42.000 And you don't have to be an international relations expert to understand that.
00:30:45.000 Yeah, it's in Russia's interest to escalate a Cold War into a hot one by directly confronting the United States themselves. 0.65
00:30:53.000 Yeah, that seems legit. 0.81
00:30:56.000 Nick, how is this America first?
00:30:58.000 I told you. 0.74
00:31:00.000 It serves America's interest to denuclearize North Korea. 0.86
00:31:04.000 This furthers that end. 0.87
00:31:06.000 So that's how. 0.99
00:31:08.000 Vindication Nation has closed borders, no black pillars. 0.93
00:31:10.000 True, extreme vetting. 1.00
00:31:11.000 If you're going to black pill, we're going to have to deport you. 1.00
00:31:15.000 Opposing war no matter what is kind of foolish. 1.00
00:31:20.000 I think that's kind of a loaded thing to say because I am generally against war.
00:31:25.000 I think in very few cases is war in our interest.
00:31:28.000 Being against any military action. 0.96
00:31:31.000 Whatsoever is foolish. 0.97
00:31:33.000 And that's what we see on display here. 0.96
00:31:35.000 You can be a non interventionist and believe that at times military action is justified. 0.91
00:31:42.000 I'm against the Iraq war. 0.59
00:31:43.000 I'm against the war in Afghanistan. 0.62
00:31:45.000 I'm against the war in Syria.
00:31:47.000 If we're going to get into one, don't think it's going to happen.
00:31:50.000 But to say we can never use our military might anywhere ever, ridiculous position to take.
00:31:56.000 It's absurd.
00:31:57.000 It's unrealistic.
00:31:58.000 And for a movement that prides itself on its pragmatism, it's kind of out of character.
00:32:05.000 Yeah, yeah, right, exactly.
00:32:08.000 Bashar al Assad is the descendant of Mark Antony and Cleopatra.
00:32:11.000 Did I hear that right?
00:32:12.000 That's kind of a meme thing.
00:32:13.000 My buddy Spaceboy told me that.
00:32:16.000 I don't know if that's true or not, but I just think it's a funny thing to say.
00:32:21.000 Russia will respond.
00:32:22.000 Yeah, they'll respond by filling our timelines with Nealons and Groypers.
00:32:27.000 Thoughts on rumors that Trump wants to go harder than the Pentagon?
00:32:31.000 Exactly, it's madman strategy.
00:32:33.000 It's madman strategy.
00:32:34.000 That's four dimensional chess.
00:32:36.000 Yeah, except for when Nixon did it, right?
00:32:37.000 Except for when Nixon explicitly did that against Vietnam, and that's how he brought an end to the war in Vietnam in the same fashion.
00:32:46.000 Facts.
00:32:47.000 These are facts.
00:32:48.000 I know.
00:32:49.000 I know.
00:32:50.000 It's really.
00:32:52.000 I'm really optimistic.
00:32:53.000 I know it's a really complicated idea there. 0.99
00:32:59.000 DPRK isn't worth this shit. 0.99
00:33:00.000 100% it is. 1.00
00:33:01.000 And worth what? 1.00
00:33:02.000 Worth what shit, bozo? 1.00
00:33:05.000 Attacking three empty military facilities? 1.00
00:33:08.000 Yeah, I know it was a big price to pay to make it a little bit more likely that North Korea doesn't have a nuclear arsenal and that we win the midterms.
00:33:15.000 Yeah, that's definitely not worth it, right?
00:33:21.000 Will Trump lose his base over this?
00:33:23.000 Not at all.
00:33:24.000 You look at any of the polling, last year, the majority of Americans supported the strikes.
00:33:30.000 62% of Americans supported the strikes last year, and I will guarantee a big segment of his base supports the strikes this year.
00:33:38.000 And even if they don't, they'll forget about it by November.
00:33:42.000 Guaranteed they will forget about it.
00:33:46.000 Most of Trump supporters support the strikes for dominance.
00:33:49.000 I would say a lot of them, and even the ones that don't, they're not going to remember it by.
00:33:54.000 Do you think people in Wisconsin and Michigan, you know, working class machinists and automobile mechanics, voted for Trump in Michigan because of his hands off policy on the Syrian civil war?
00:34:07.000 Doubt.
00:34:08.000 Alex Jones is a fitting representative of the Black Pill movement because Alex Jones doesn't care about the Middle East.
00:34:16.000 If he cared about the Middle East, he would talk about Israel, but he doesn't.
00:34:20.000 So he throws a big temper tantrum so that people watch his stream.
00:34:24.000 You watched Alex Jones for the first time, probably in a long time, because he was swearing and he was really mad.
00:34:30.000 And that was the intended effect.
00:34:32.000 I'm effing mad about Trump bombing Syria.
00:34:35.000 Oh, really?
00:34:36.000 You're really passionate about the Middle East and our intervention there?
00:34:39.000 Why don't you talk about AIPAC, big guy?
00:34:41.000 Why don't you talk about that anymore?
00:34:43.000 Guy doesn't care.
00:34:45.000 But he's drawn a temper tantrum so people watch his stream, not unlike Black Pillars who throw a temper tantrum so that they get a dopamine rush.
00:34:55.000 I guess you're right, Nick.
00:34:56.000 Always.
00:34:57.000 Every time.
00:34:59.000 Every time. 0.97
00:34:59.000 You're bullshitting, Nick. 0.97
00:35:00.000 Point out where I'm wrong, then, genius. 0.99
00:35:02.000 Point out where I'm wrong. 1.00
00:35:06.000 Boomer cons are dumb. 0.99
00:35:07.000 Yeah, well, they're all right. 1.00
00:35:09.000 Nick is lying.
00:35:09.000 Yeah, right.
00:35:11.000 He does talk about Israel.
00:35:12.000 See, people will defend Alex Jones in order to own Nick Flentis.
00:35:17.000 That tells you all you need to, right there.
00:35:19.000 When's the last time Alex Jones talked about who the globalists are, right?
00:35:23.000 Maybe with 10 years?
00:35:27.000 Literally throwing things in my room.
00:35:29.000 Yeah.
00:35:30.000 Vox Day said just about the same thing as Nick.
00:35:32.000 Yep.
00:35:40.000 How does it feel to fix your hitch your wagon to a failed presidency?
00:35:44.000 I think we're actually quite successful.
00:35:46.000 I think if you look at the whole game board here, I think we're doing quite well.
00:35:52.000 People are very quick to point out no wall.
00:35:55.000 Yeah, okay.
00:35:56.000 But we got rid of the TPP.
00:35:57.000 We got rid of.
00:35:59.000 The global climate pact with the UN.
00:36:02.000 We got rid of the Paris Climate Accords.
00:36:06.000 What else did we do?
00:36:06.000 We defeated ISIS.
00:36:08.000 We got the tax cuts, which, even if you don't like them, economy was the number one issue voters cared about in the election.
00:36:15.000 We got a Supreme Court judge.
00:36:17.000 We have record economic growth, record wage growth.
00:36:21.000 Consumer confidence is at an all time high.
00:36:24.000 You can point to any number of things where we're doing very well. 0.98
00:36:28.000 Successful trade war with China. 0.67
00:36:31.000 So far, stayed out of Syria, stayed out of Iran. 0.62
00:36:33.000 We have achieved a summit with North Korea.
00:36:37.000 But, you know, you can point to like a handful of things and get really mad, I guess.
00:36:42.000 Second Amendment's protected.
00:36:47.000 What do you think Russia will do, if anything?
00:36:49.000 I don't know.
00:36:49.000 I really don't know.
00:36:52.000 I'm more mad about Trump rejoining the TPP.
00:36:55.000 That hasn't happened yet.
00:36:56.000 So I'd wait before we get angry about something he said.
00:37:01.000 Oh, and he suspended DACA.
00:37:02.000 People are like, you didn't even suspend DACA.
00:37:04.000 Yeah, he did.
00:37:05.000 And he didn't even get blamed for it.
00:37:07.000 He suspended DACA and he didn't even get blamed for it.
00:37:10.000 And people are like, oh, it got tied up in the courts.
00:37:12.000 Yeah, because Trump doesn't control the courts.
00:37:15.000 And once the Supreme Court hears it, it will go through completely. 0.56
00:37:19.000 So, the only reason we should be in the Middle East is to take back Constantinople. 0.95
00:37:24.000 True. 1.00
00:37:25.000 True.
00:37:26.000 Constantinople and Antioch and Jerusalem agree. 0.50
00:37:29.000 What's your opinion on QAnon?
00:37:31.000 I don't think it's true, to be honest.
00:37:33.000 I really don't buy it.
00:37:35.000 I just don't.
00:37:38.000 Stay strong.
00:37:38.000 Keep it up, buddy.
00:37:39.000 You'll be more popular the more you're proven right.
00:37:41.000 True.
00:37:42.000 True.
00:37:43.000 Coulter says Trump could build the wall if he wants.
00:37:45.000 Not after Omnibus.
00:37:48.000 And even with the idea that we could build it with the military, even that is highly dubious.
00:37:53.000 You have to remember, at the end of the day, read.
00:37:57.000 Let me see, because my Constitution's up in my room, but let me see if it's in this book.
00:38:04.000 I have this Barnes Noble classic, Founding Documents of America.
00:38:10.000 Let me see if the Constitution is here, because I'll show you exactly what I mean by this.
00:38:14.000 Why?
00:38:15.000 Why I don't totally blame Trump for the wall.
00:38:19.000 Let me find it.
00:38:22.000 It's probably going to be towards the end because, you know, page 395.
00:38:31.000 Okay, so let's look in Article 1, Section 8, where it says The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises to pay the debts and provide for the common.
00:38:48.000 Defense and general welfare of the United States, to borrow money on the credit, to regulate commerce, to establish a uniform rule of naturalization, to coin money, to make rules for the government, to provide for organizing, to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, blah, blah, blah.
00:39:09.000 And so basically, if you read in the Constitution, here it is: No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations.
00:39:19.000 Made by law.
00:39:21.000 So I'm sorry, it's Article 1, Section 9.
00:39:24.000 No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law.
00:39:30.000 And this is an Article 1.
00:39:32.000 Article 1 refers to the Congress, Article 2 to the executive, Article 3 to the judicial.
00:39:39.000 And so for people who say Trump isn't building the wall, Congress appropriates the money.
00:39:44.000 And so unless you get a bill from the U.S. House of Representatives to Specifically, allocate money for the wall.
00:39:52.000 It's not going to happen.
00:39:53.000 And people say, you know, Paul Nealon said you can coin an $18 billion piece of currency and pay for the wall that way. 1.00
00:40:03.000 Yeah, that's kind of retarded. 1.00
00:40:04.000 That's just not true. 1.00
00:40:07.000 And then people are saying, oh, you could build it through the military.
00:40:09.000 You would have to go through the Congress anyway.
00:40:11.000 Military can't just do whatever it wants, military can't just build infrastructure.
00:40:16.000 I mean, you could say it's for the national defense, but ultimately, you'd have to go through the Pentagon and through the House of Representatives.
00:40:22.000 So, the idea that you could build it all by yourself, I do not think there's a very strong legal case for it.
00:40:31.000 So, they think they know everything.
00:40:37.000 It's true.
00:40:38.000 It's true.
00:40:38.000 And just all you have to do look, I want the wall as much as the next person.
00:40:42.000 I want Trump to build it as much as the next person.
00:40:45.000 I'm also realistic about it, though.
00:40:48.000 Isn't this proof that ultimately presidential elections don't mean anything when it comes to Israel?
00:40:52.000 Not at all. 0.93
00:40:58.000 Of course, it matters.
00:40:59.000 If it was the Clinton administration, we'd be at war in Syria.
00:41:02.000 Trump has been holding back the tide.
00:41:05.000 They all want to go to.
00:41:06.000 John McCain, Lindsey Graham, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, I'm sure they all want to go to war in Iran.
00:41:12.000 They all want to go to war in Syria.
00:41:15.000 And we haven't. 0.65
00:41:16.000 It would have happened by now, 100%.
00:41:18.000 It absolutely matters.
00:41:21.000 Even Barack Obama got the Iran deal through.
00:41:24.000 Israel didn't support that.
00:41:25.000 Even Barack Obama got the United Nations to vote on a resolution condemning Israel.
00:41:31.000 He got the Security Council to vote on a resolution condemning Israel.
00:41:37.000 So elections mean everything.
00:41:38.000 Does any other candidate strike in this matter?
00:41:40.000 No, true.
00:41:42.000 How do you know Clinton would have gone to war?
00:41:43.000 I just know.
00:41:45.000 Is the Trump train still on track?
00:41:47.000 It's always on track, going a million miles an hour.
00:41:51.000 Nick the Knife dropping a symbolic strike? 1.00
00:41:53.000 No, I'm going full scale ground invasion against black pillars. 1.00
00:41:57.000 I mean, does anyone not do what Israel wants, though? 0.99
00:42:00.000 The problem is, there's a very simple understanding of the world Israel controls everything, it's much more complex than that.
00:42:08.000 Israel exercises influence over the government.
00:42:12.000 Through people with dual loyalties in the bureaucracy and also through foreign lobbying through AIPAC.
00:42:18.000 They don't have an absolute stranglehold over the government, but they do exercise an incredibly disproportionate amount of influence, and a lot of it. 0.72
00:42:27.000 But to say that it doesn't matter who we elect because Israel controls it anyway, I mean, that's just a foolish thing to say. 0.77
00:42:34.000 Do they exercise an exorbitant amount of influence, or rather a lot of influence, a disproportionate amount?
00:42:41.000 100%.
00:42:42.000 Are there people with dual citizenship and dual loyalty in the State Department, in the Defense Department, in the Pentagon?
00:42:49.000 100%.
00:42:50.000 Does AIPAC totally influence elections?
00:42:52.000 Absolutely.
00:42:54.000 But if you look at other lobbies in terms of money spent, Israel is not even one of the biggest lobbies.
00:43:01.000 Let's go in, for example, and this is not like you guys know I'm woke about Israel and about what they're all about.
00:43:11.000 But if you look at their expenditures, just for example, because I looked into this a while ago, their revenue.
00:43:17.000 In 2014, it was $77 million.
00:43:20.000 Let's look into, I don't know, Michael Bloomberg, who spends billions of dollars a year.
00:43:27.000 AIPAC makes about $77 million a year.
00:43:31.000 Michael Bloomberg alone spends billions of dollars in any given election.
00:43:36.000 George Soros transferred $18 billion to a fund that's used exclusively to influence elections.
00:43:46.000 I mean, just think about it.
00:43:50.000 But, not saying, I'm not, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they don't exercise a massive influence in Washington. 0.69
00:43:58.000 And we probably went to war in Iraq in large measure because of Israel. 0.64
00:44:03.000 We probably went to war in Afghanistan in large measure because of Israel. 0.78
00:44:08.000 There's a reason why our Senate votes 99 to 1 to support Israel on just about everything.
00:44:14.000 But to say it doesn't matter who we elect, I don't think that's true.
00:44:20.000 I'm withholding knee jerk reaction.
00:44:22.000 That's a good thing.
00:44:23.000 That's what we should all do.
00:44:26.000 What does the Constitution say about acts of war by presidents?
00:44:29.000 That it has to go through the Senate.
00:44:32.000 But this isn't an act of war.
00:44:35.000 It's not an act of war.
00:44:36.000 As much as people can say it's an act of war, it's not.
00:44:40.000 People say, what if somebody bombed the United States?
00:44:44.000 A little bit different.
00:44:44.000 It's a little bit.
00:44:46.000 Bombing the United States in Syria? 0.54
00:44:49.000 A little bit. 0.69
00:44:50.000 Different, you know.
00:44:54.000 And the legal basis, of course, is the Constitution actually says that unless there's an immediate threat to the United States, you have to go through the Congress.
00:45:04.000 The legal justification for the war is that the proliferation of chemical weapons presents an immediate threat to the United States.
00:45:12.000 It is dubious whether or not you agree with that, but there is a legal basis for that. 0.58
00:45:18.000 Technically, we haven't declared war since World War II.
00:45:23.000 There wasn't a declaration of war in Korea.
00:45:25.000 There wasn't a declaration of war in Vietnam.
00:45:28.000 There wasn't a declaration of war for the war on terror.
00:45:32.000 It was an authorization of the use of military force.
00:45:36.000 I don't even believe there was a formal declaration on Iraq.
00:45:40.000 There was in the 1990s a bill passed in the Senate, but I believe it was only like a resolution which said that we should depose Saddam Hussein.
00:45:50.000 But I don't really think that fits under a formal declaration of war.
00:45:56.000 It's Piano Man by Billy Joel.
00:45:59.000 Yeah, 100%.
00:46:00.000 Yeah, and the War Powers Act, too.
00:46:04.000 So, there it is.
00:46:05.000 But.
00:46:06.000 We're going to call it.
00:46:07.000 We're going to call it a night. 0.70
00:46:08.000 There's no black pillars in there. 0.97
00:46:09.000 All the enthusiasm went away once the facts were laid out and once they were made to look ridiculous.
00:46:18.000 Then we had a little bit more trouble coming up with counter arguments.
00:46:23.000 So, Fortnite tonight?
00:46:27.000 Let's do it, big guy.
00:46:28.000 Let's do it.
00:46:29.000 I'm hungry, so it's illegal.
00:46:31.000 Yeah, okay.
00:46:31.000 Well, you can say that, but yeah, 100%.
00:46:35.000 And look, I have no problem.
00:46:36.000 Look, people can black pill, people can get upset about it. 0.84
00:46:41.000 But I'm going to be there like rectifying the truth, right?
00:46:48.000 I mean, people are entitled to have a reaction.
00:46:52.000 You're not a bad person because you're having a bad reaction.
00:46:56.000 But don't get nasty with me. 0.98
00:46:58.000 Don't call me nasty names if you don't want to get knifed. 0.98
00:47:03.000 That's the thing. 0.98
00:47:04.000 Disagree with me.
00:47:06.000 Don't like my theory.
00:47:08.000 Have your moment of panic.
00:47:09.000 But don't call me a nasty thing.
00:47:10.000 I'm a good guy.
00:47:12.000 I'm providing a lot of content.
00:47:13.000 I dropped out of college.
00:47:14.000 So, I could provide you with content and fight for you.
00:47:18.000 I have turned up every opportunity to work for the conservative establishment so I could serve the people.
00:47:24.000 So, don't call me a shill because you disagree with what I'm saying in my analysis. 0.98
00:47:29.000 Then you're going to get the bants. 1.00
00:47:30.000 Then I'm going to condescendingly type LOL at you, or I'll say you're low IQ and block you. 1.00
00:47:38.000 But, anywho, that's my analysis. 0.72
00:47:41.000 You'll hear the same thing on the show on Monday, probably.
00:47:45.000 But hope you're all enjoying your Friday evening.
00:47:49.000 I'm going to go play some Fortnite and have something to eat.
00:47:52.000 I'm hungry.
00:47:53.000 I'm famished.
00:47:55.000 So I'll see you on Monday.
00:47:56.000 Check out America First.

00:48:15.000 Good night, folks. 1.00
00:48:17.000 And always make fun of Black Pillars. 1.00
00:48:20.000 They deserve to be humiliated and defeated. 1.00
00:48:22.000 So, see you on Monday. 0.95
00:48:24.000 Take it easy.
