America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Open Borders for Israel | America First Ep. 77

00:00:05.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:06.000 You are watching America First, the number one America First themed YouTube series in the country right now.

00:00:13.000 Big show.

00:00:15.000 And we're having a great show for you tonight.

00:00:17.000 I'm Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:18.000 Much to get into, much to discuss about Iran, North Korea, the usual suspects and other things, of course.

00:00:26.000 Fantastic show planned tonight.

00:00:28.000 I know yesterday was very information intensive, very information heavy.

00:00:34.000 There's a lot to go over.

00:00:35.000 There's a lot going on in Iran and in the broader region.

00:00:40.000 And we'll get a little bit more into that tonight.

00:00:42.000 We're also going to talk about, which I love this story.

00:00:45.000 There's this story on BBC this afternoon about the African migrants in Israel.

00:00:52.000 Very interesting story how they treat their migrants compared to how other European countries and how the United States treats our migrants.

00:00:59.000 And then, of course, we have to talk about a missile launch in North Korea, which I don't know if you caught this in Nikki Haley's statement this afternoon.

00:01:07.000 On Iran, she slipped in kind of subtly this idea that the United States is aware of another missile test that will occur sometime this week.

00:01:16.000 So we'll be talking about that as well.

00:01:18.000 Now, you know, I'm looking around today, and this is not in regards to the news or anything, but I just have to talk about this.

00:01:24.000 I go outside today, it's two degrees, right?

00:01:27.000 Coldest winter in Chicago in history.

00:01:31.000 They said on New Year's Eve yesterday, where it was negative 10 degrees or negative 15 degrees, was.

00:01:39.000 The low for New Year's Eve.

00:01:41.000 That was the coldest it was in history that they've recorded in Chicago.

00:01:45.000 And I'm thinking to myself, when it's too cold, they say it's climate change.

00:01:49.000 When it's too warm, they say it's climate change.

00:01:52.000 When there's a lot of storms, they say it's climate change.

00:01:54.000 When there's not a lot of storms, it's like, how do you disprove this theory?

00:01:59.000 How do you go against it?

00:02:00.000 You know, I go outside, I know that's kind of a boomer talking point.

00:02:03.000 I know my science fact checkers who get on me for not totally adhering to the empiricists, the materialists, Scientific worldview.

00:02:12.000 Maybe I don't understand it totally, but what is it about this?

00:02:16.000 For how many years were they telling us the polar ice caps are going to melt?

00:02:20.000 It's going to be New York underwater?

00:02:23.000 And some of the predictions, some of the models that they had from the IPCC, the International Panel on Climate Change from the 1990s, showed that at this point we should have been underwater.

00:02:35.000 We should have been, you know, the whole country is the Sahara Desert, water wars, resource wars.

00:02:41.000 Water World is going to be Kevin Costner in Water World.

00:02:45.000 And here we are.

00:02:46.000 And if it's too cold, they say they were right anyway.

00:02:49.000 If it's too warm, they say we were right all along.

00:02:51.000 I don't know.

00:02:53.000 And then here's another thing.

00:02:54.000 I found this out the other day.

00:02:56.000 Vladimir Putin's been to Antarctica.

00:02:58.000 John Kerry went to Antarctica.

00:03:00.000 All these other leaders go to Antarctica.

00:03:03.000 Folks, what's going on in Antarctica?

00:03:05.000 That's another thing that I just saw the other day on the subject of cold, I guess.

00:03:10.000 I saw that.

00:03:11.000 People are like, Nick, you got to cool it with the conspiracy talk.

00:03:11.000 I tweeted about it.

00:03:15.000 But you got to think, President of Russia, heads of states of the most powerful countries in the world, military bases all over, no civilians allowed.

00:03:24.000 John Kerry goes there in the last year of the presidency.

00:03:27.000 Why?

00:03:28.000 They say he wanted to see the seventh continent.

00:03:30.000 He wanted to understand how climate change is affecting Antarctica, wanted to see how it's affecting the ice.

00:03:36.000 Did he have to go?

00:03:37.000 Did the Secretary of State have to go to Antarctica for that?

00:03:40.000 They couldn't have sent the environmental czar, they couldn't have sent the green planet czar.

00:03:46.000 Secretary of State had to make a personal visit.

00:03:48.000 Look.

00:03:49.000 I don't know.

00:03:50.000 But anyway, that's a little goofy introduction, but just some things that I've been sifting through all the news, and these things just bother me.

00:03:58.000 But anyway, we got to get into the story about the African migrants in Israel, which I find this to be so fascinating, so juicy.

00:04:07.000 If you don't understand some of the subtext that goes on on this show, I think maybe you'll start to see it make sense with this story.

00:04:15.000 It was reported today on BBC that Israel has told the 38,000 illegal African migrants in Israel that they have until April to leave the country or else they're going to jail.

00:04:27.000 So Israel said there's all these migrants, 38,000, which is not a lot, by the way.

00:04:32.000 When you look at Germany, who took in 1 million African migrants in just one year in 2015, when you look at Italy, which accepted, I think, 600,000 over the course of three years, and Israel has 38,000 African migrants.

00:04:47.000 Of course, they have a smaller population, but even the proportions are not comparable to what's happening in Europe, specifically in Sweden, Germany, France, the UK.

00:04:58.000 And so the Israeli government told these African migrants basically, get out of our country, go back.

00:05:04.000 To Sudan and Eritrea, which is where predominantly they are from, or else they go to jail.

00:05:09.000 In April, they're going to start rounding them up, mass arresting them, putting them in jail, and already there's about 1,200 of them in jail.

00:05:16.000 And the Israeli government, it's so rich, they say that it's going to be humane and voluntary, which is fascinating to me.

00:05:23.000 Because whenever we hear about illegal immigrants being deported in this country, whenever we hear about migrants being deported in Africa or anything like that, it's always a humanitarian crime for us to do that. 0.58

00:05:38.000 Terrible.

00:05:38.000 It's inhumane.

00:05:40.000 They're poor.

00:05:42.000 They just want free stuff.

00:05:44.000 Don't you understand?

00:05:45.000 They just want to come here where they won't get their heads chopped off and also where they could get free stuff every month.

00:05:52.000 And so when our government talks about it, when our media talks about it, it's not this humane and voluntary. 0.87

00:05:58.000 It's Adolf Hitler 2.0. 0.84

00:06:01.000 He's rounding them up.

00:06:03.000 When Donald Trump came out and said, you know, we have illegal immigrants. 0.97

00:06:07.000 We have to get them out or there has to be a Muslim ban.

00:06:09.000 The liberals said, This is just like when Hitler made his lists. 0.93

00:06:14.000 This is just like when Hitler put the star on the Jews in Nazi Germany. 0.88

00:06:20.000 But when it happens in Israel, it happens in Israel, it's fine. 0.83

00:06:25.000 It's humane and voluntary. 1.00

00:06:27.000 They tell the African migrants, You stay here, you go to jail.

00:06:31.000 That's not really voluntary, right? 0.99

00:06:33.000 If I come up to you and I put a gun to your head and I say, Give me your money or I'll kill you, is it really voluntary that you give me the money? 0.99

00:06:40.000 I mean, that is coercive. 0.98

00:06:42.000 And not that we're against that, by the way, but we look at what happens in Israel and we look at the proponents of mass immigration in our country who maybe they have some similarities to the people in Israel, and the message is totally dissimilar, completely diametrically opposite. 0.57

00:06:58.000 In Israel, the message is, and here's another thing they call them infiltrators.

00:07:02.000 That's a nice other little thing. 0.88

00:07:04.000 In our country, we call them undocumented or we call them, I don't know, any number of euphemisms for it. 1.00

00:07:10.000 They came through illegally. 0.97

00:07:12.000 In Israel, they call them infiltrators.

00:07:14.000 They say the 38,000 African infiltrators have to go or else they go to jail, right?

00:07:19.000 Well, in Israel, the language is we are going to deport these people because, and this is from the Israeli government, they say that if they're victims of human trafficking, they can stay.

00:07:29.000 If they're elderly, if they're children, they can stay. 0.81

00:07:32.000 They say, but the rest are economic migrants. 0.96

00:07:35.000 The rest are people that want Gibbs.

00:07:37.000 The rest are people that want free stuff. 1.00

00:07:39.000 The economy's not good in Africa, so they come to Israel to take Israeli jobs. 1.00

00:07:43.000 They come to Parasite off of the Israeli economy. 1.00

00:07:47.000 So they say to these migrants, they say, look, you can't stay here.

00:07:51.000 If you stay here, you're going to jail.

00:07:52.000 If not, you know, you can, there's this window that you can go back home, and it's going to be humane and it's going to be voluntary. 0.73

00:07:59.000 And that's how they handle their illegal migrant problem in Israel.

00:08:03.000 In the West, France, Germany, the United States, the UK, there's no talk of this.

00:08:09.000 In the United States, and this is, of course, barring Donald Trump and people like Nigel Farage and Geert Wild, there's some of the more dissident insurgents that have risen up in the past couple of years.

00:08:19.000 Barring those people, and those people aren't really in the establishment.

00:08:24.000 The message has been that these people are going to stay no matter what.

00:08:28.000 And the question is, are we going to give them amnesty?

00:08:31.000 Are they going to get voting rights?

00:08:32.000 Are they going to be able to take Social Security and Medicare?

00:08:35.000 Or are they just going to be legal?

00:08:37.000 But there's no question of removing them.

00:08:39.000 And there's no question of, are they bad?

00:08:41.000 Are they hurting the country?

00:08:42.000 Are they hurting the economy?

00:08:44.000 It's simply, it is our humanitarian duty to keep these people here, right?

00:08:49.000 They show us when Donald Trump repealed DACA earlier in 2017, I think it was in August.

00:08:56.000 August or September, when he repealed DACA.

00:08:59.000 We saw all the pictures of the poor, helpless children.

00:09:02.000 We heard stories about the 11 year old girl in Texas with cerebral palsy, who she was on her way to treatment in an ambulance when she was pulled over by ICE.

00:09:11.000 And this is Donald Trump's America.

00:09:13.000 This is the inhumane, the cruel spirit of this fascist administration.

00:09:20.000 And even in Europe, in Europe, what do they do with the migrants?

00:09:23.000 Not only do they take them in, not only do they not deport them, not only when they drown, Off the coast of Libya, do they go all the way across the Mediterranean to scoop them up and bring them back? 0.90

00:09:34.000 And not only do they give them their jobs and give them welfare and let them put their tents up and do their call to prayer in the streets, not only all of that, but on top of it, they redefine what it means to be European.

00:09:46.000 They say, not only can these people come here and maybe they had a tough time.

00:09:50.000 Granted, maybe they have a tough time.

00:09:52.000 Maybe it's our responsibility, it's our noblesse oblige in a global sense to take these people in and take care of them.

00:09:59.000 Maybe, maybe, if you believe that, I don't.

00:10:02.000 Maybe you say that.

00:10:04.000 But on top of it, in Europe, not only do they bring these people in and help them and say, we'll bandage you up and give you a job, but they also say, actually, now he's just as European as us.

00:10:15.000 It wasn't good enough that he got to live in Europe, it wasn't good enough that he got to leech off of the European taxpayers and the European, I guess, history, the ancestors that built such a fine civilization.

00:10:29.000 You know, we often talk about the financial and the economic, not so much the social and the cultural capital that they leech off of and abuse. 0.61

00:10:36.000 But on top of that, now, Europeans are not Europeans. 0.83

00:10:40.000 The United Kingdom, the Englishmen, the Scottish, the Irish, they have no more of a claim to their ancestral homelands than some black guy from Niger, some black guy from West Africa, someone from the Congo. 0.91

00:10:53.000 They're just as Irish as the former Irish, as the ones with the red hair and the pink skin and the brittle bones. 0.87

00:11:01.000 And in Germany and in Italy and in Sweden. 1.00

00:11:03.000 In Sweden, they show the commercials where they say it's time to recognize, to understand that Swedish doesn't mean anything anymore.

00:11:10.000 Not about race, not about history or culture.

00:11:13.000 It's about, I don't know, participating in this civic system, participating in this market.

00:11:20.000 And so it's just night and day when you see how they handle it.

00:11:22.000 And this supposedly, and here's why this is significant Israel identifies and is identified by our foreign policy establishment and our media and Fox News as a Western country.

00:11:36.000 They're the beacon of light. 0.79

00:11:37.000 In the Middle East, we hear this so much compared to the barbaric. 1.00

00:11:42.000 Muslim fundamentalist countries of the Middle East. 0.84

00:11:45.000 Israel is the shining light of Israel is the shining beacon of hope and freedom and Western values.

00:11:51.000 That's the refrain that we hear from the people that want to give them $4 billion a year. 0.93

00:11:57.000 But then we see that there's actually a very, very real double standard going on where the rest of the West has to play by very certain rules with the migrants.

00:12:07.000 The migrants are just as national as anybody else.

00:12:11.000 They're just as German, they're just as Italian, they're just as Spanish, and they deserve to be here.

00:12:16.000 It's a nation of immigrants.

00:12:17.000 Sweden, the UK, the United States, these are international countries now. 0.99

00:12:21.000 These are countries made by immigrants. 1.00

00:12:23.000 And, you know, forget all this national pride.

00:12:25.000 Xenophobia, nativist stuff.

00:12:27.000 And that's what the Western world is expected to do.

00:12:30.000 That's the line we're expected to tell. 1.00

00:12:32.000 But yet, this Western country, this liberal democracy, the shining beacon in the Middle East, the candle of hope, they get to throw these bastards out. 0.99

00:12:43.000 They get to say these infiltrators, they're gone or they're in jail. 0.99

00:12:47.000 And they're not Israeli. 0.78

00:12:48.000 And they're not Jewish. 0.97

00:12:49.000 And we're putting up genetic tests. 0.93

00:12:51.000 And this is a Jewish state. 0.87

00:12:53.000 Nobody else is allowed to do that. 0.88

00:12:55.000 Nobody else in the West is allowed to say, this is Italy. 1.00

00:12:58.000 You have to be Italian to be here. 0.99

00:13:00.000 This is Germany. 1.00

00:13:01.000 You have to be German to be here. 1.00

00:13:03.000 This is the UK. 1.00

00:13:04.000 You have to be English or Welsh or Irish or Scottish to be here. 1.00

00:13:09.000 And that means something.

00:13:10.000 You have to speak the language.

00:13:12.000 You have to have ancestors here.

00:13:13.000 You have to have participated in the country's history, fighting in the wars, participating in the industry, putting down roots, putting down roots in cities and villages and seeing the passage of centuries.

00:13:25.000 Not that you just show up here on a raft looking for a handout.

00:13:30.000 But in Israel, they get to do that.

00:13:32.000 In Israel, of course, they get to make those claims.

00:13:34.000 And so, just very interesting, just very interesting when we see this dynamic.

00:13:37.000 In a lot of ways, what we want in our country is no different than what Israel wants, which is we want to be who we are.

00:13:45.000 We want America to be America.

00:13:46.000 And we all know what that means.

00:13:48.000 We all know what that means.

00:13:50.000 Don't listen to the New York Times, Mike.com, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, that tries to tell you that your conception of America or your conception of white or Christian is actually flawed.

00:14:01.000 It's actually, well, let's unpack this. 0.79

00:14:03.000 Actually, it's a construct.

00:14:04.000 No, no, no, no.

00:14:05.000 We know what it means to be an American.

00:14:07.000 We know who's an American.

00:14:08.000 We know what that means.

00:14:11.000 We don't have to go into the history books.

00:14:12.000 We don't have to.

00:14:13.000 And we can.

00:14:13.000 I mean, of course, we are there with the arguments to defend that.

00:14:16.000 And that's the task of people like myself and others in media to go out and find out that actually it's so many lies how they attempt to deconstruct white and American identity.

00:14:27.000 But for the vast majority of people, we know what that means to be an American.

00:14:30.000 And they will try.

00:14:31.000 They are fighting tooth and nail to get you to unlearn that, to unthink that.

00:14:36.000 What it means to have national identity.

00:14:38.000 And we look to Israel as a good example of that.

00:14:39.000 It's in their constitution Jewish state, Jewish homeland for the Jewish people.

00:14:44.000 And you know, you got to hand it to them.

00:14:46.000 That's what we want in our country.

00:14:47.000 That's all we want.

00:14:48.000 And would anybody call them Jewish supremacists for wanting that?

00:14:52.000 Would anybody call them Jewish supremacists for simply wanting borders, simply wanting a national identity?

00:14:59.000 You know, their mentality is actually pretty noble in Israel.

00:15:03.000 They believe that they are God's chosen people.

00:15:06.000 And you got to think, If you believe that you're God's chosen people, doesn't that inherently put you on a higher plane than everybody else?

00:15:14.000 If the supreme being of the universe chose you, in effect, did he also not choose everybody else?

00:15:21.000 Doesn't that make you special?

00:15:23.000 Doesn't that make you supreme?

00:15:25.000 So I don't know.

00:15:26.000 I mean, people who throw around this white supremacy term, I think the real supremacists are standing right here in front of everybody, right?

00:15:32.000 I mean, they're the ones, they say, we're God's chosen people.

00:15:35.000 This land was endowed for us by God for us to be here, and we have a right to our homeland.

00:15:41.000 And okay.

00:15:42.000 And that's fair.

00:15:43.000 And there's nothing wrong with that, right, in the mainstream media.

00:15:46.000 But when we say, well, God chose this land for us, and certainly that's what the founder said.

00:15:51.000 Certainly that was the ideology behind Manifest Destiny.

00:15:55.000 That's what was in Federalist Number Two by John Jay that God put this land for us, for us to be here, for us to take it over, and we can have this great experiment.

00:16:05.000 And certainly we believe that we are God's chosen people.

00:16:08.000 I think there's a lot of evidence to support that.

00:16:10.000 You know, look at the people that conquered the moon and the stars and the land and the seas and space and air.

00:16:17.000 But we don't get to have that.

00:16:19.000 We don't get to take pride in that.

00:16:20.000 It's only for some people. 0.85

00:16:22.000 But anyway, that's Israel. 0.55

00:16:24.000 That's the immigration thing.

00:16:25.000 A fun topic.

00:16:26.000 That's a nice little, you know, I disagree a lot with my audience sometimes.

00:16:31.000 I know I go against the grain a lot, but it's nice to hit those, the points we can all rally behind. 0.96

00:16:36.000 So that's Israel.

00:16:37.000 That is the migration situation going on there.

00:16:40.000 We have to adopt their terminology.

00:16:42.000 The infiltrator? 0.80

00:16:44.000 Imagine if we were calling, instead of calling them undocumented or illegal. 0.99

00:16:44.000 That's so. 0.99

00:16:50.000 You know, illegal is the most hardcore, but even then, I mean, is that really a strong term?

00:16:55.000 They're illegal aliens.

00:16:56.000 Calling them infiltrators, you know, or subverters, that's powerful. 1.00

00:17:00.000 We might need to look into that. 1.00

00:17:01.000 So that's Israel.

00:17:03.000 Now we got to get into, moving right along on America First, we got to get into the Iranian protests.

00:17:09.000 More information that I have for you today to support my theory yesterday.

00:17:14.000 So the protests have gone on another day, very violent.

00:17:18.000 Over the night, we saw protesters being killed.

00:17:21.000 IRGC, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, being killed.

00:17:25.000 Police stations being set on fire.

00:17:26.000 And so the protests are escalating.

00:17:28.000 But I saw a number the other day, or today rather, that made me think about it.

00:17:33.000 People have it in their heads because they see this on the news that this is a huge, massive protest.

00:17:40.000 They say, worst protest since 2009.

00:17:42.000 Worst protest since the Green Movement in 2009. 0.63

00:17:46.000 And people think immediately of the Arab Spring because, of course, the Green Movement, in a lot of ways, was a predecessor to the Arab Spring, even though they're half Persian.

00:17:55.000 They saw that as a precursor, an antecedent, kind of a flavor of the general sentiment in the Middle East, democratization, liberalization, or at least that's what the West interpreted it as.

00:18:06.000 So we see the Iranian protests, and everybody says this is the biggest protest since the 2009 Green Movement.

00:18:12.000 Biggest protest, huge, maybe since 1979, ba, ba, ba.

00:18:16.000 And we look at the actual numbers.

00:18:18.000 And in 2009, if you look at the numbers, in 2009, you had 1 million people, more than 1 million people.

00:18:27.000 In Tehran, the capital, protesting the results of the 2009 election when they saw that there was obvious electoral fraud.

00:18:35.000 And these protests, you will not see more than a thousand protesters in any given city on any given day in the past five days.

00:18:43.000 So, everybody who's trying to capitalize on this, you hear the Bill Crystals and the John McCain's, the Mitt Romney's, Hillary Clinton even, coming out and saying we have to support these protesters and really hinting like there's some kind of regime change in the works.

00:18:57.000 And I have to wonder what exactly they're talking about.

00:19:01.000 Less than a thousand people in any given city on any given day compared to a million.

00:19:06.000 Look at the protests going on in Venezuela.

00:19:09.000 They haven't toppled the government in Venezuela.

00:19:11.000 And you should see the pictures, the photographs, the videos, the millions of people that are out for nights and nights on end where there's helicopters and bombs and these protests, largely peaceful, and less than a thousand people in any given city. 0.64

00:19:26.000 And people are pretending like this is the next Arab Spring.

00:19:28.000 People are pretending like this is some opportunity for regime change.

00:19:32.000 The Iranian regime is firmly planted where it is right now. 0.66

00:19:37.000 Nobody should be under any illusions. 0.55

00:19:40.000 Like, this is going to challenge the legitimacy of the government, like, this will challenge the government's holdover of the country.

00:19:46.000 In 2009, you had a million and more protests in the capital, in Tehran.

00:19:52.000 And at the time, the government was divided.

00:19:54.000 The government was divided between the conservative clerical establishment and the more moderate reformers.

00:20:00.000 And so you had tension within the government.

00:20:03.000 You had, of course, an election.

00:20:04.000 So you had Ahmadinejad, you had, I think it was Mousavi who was the reformist in that election.

00:20:10.000 And he could have contested it.

00:20:11.000 He could have led the revolution.

00:20:12.000 He could have bolstered that resistance a little bit more.

00:20:15.000 You had this disagreement within the establishment, within the government, and yet they still put it down.

00:20:21.000 A million protesters in the capital, division in the government.

00:20:24.000 They put it down, and then afterwards they instituted a silent coup in the regime.

00:20:30.000 In the next elections, you had all kinds of IRGC fill vacated government positions in what was looked at as giving them credit for putting down the reformist revolt.

00:20:40.000 In 2017, Or 2018 now, the government is completely unified.

00:20:45.000 All of the reformists, all the moderates, for the most part, have been purged from their government positions.

00:20:50.000 Khatami, who had held the government position, was not re elected to the Council or the Assembly of Experts in 2009.

00:20:57.000 Sajjadpur got purged from his position.

00:20:59.000 So you have no reformists, you have no moderates really in the government with any influence.

00:21:04.000 So you have a very stable, solidified, unified government in Tehran.

00:21:09.000 The protests are nowhere near the size that they were in Iran.

00:21:12.000 Or, excuse me, in 2009 in Tehran.

00:21:16.000 They're decentralized.

00:21:17.000 They have no leadership, no discernible leaders or leadership to speak of.

00:21:21.000 Their goals are separate and different.

00:21:23.000 You know, Haaretz, I'm reading an article, they say that the protesters are upset about everything from inflation to the rising price of eggs to the rising price of poultry to unemployment to pollution to the government's mishandling of the earthquake to the hardline Islamic code, you know, the Sharia law to, you know, every kind of issue you could imagine.

00:21:45.000 And you look at this protest.

00:21:47.000 Which is weak, which there's no sign that this is going to overthrow the government anytime soon without outside help.

00:21:55.000 That's key.

00:21:56.000 And then you hear all these deep state shills in the U.S. government and in media talking about how we need to support them, we need to embolden them, we need to go in and help them.

00:22:07.000 And what exactly does that mean?

00:22:09.000 What exactly does that mean?

00:22:10.000 So you have to actually look on the ground.

00:22:13.000 Is this a massive thing?

00:22:15.000 It may harm the legitimacy of the government in the long term in Iran.

00:22:18.000 The economy is not good.

00:22:20.000 Unemployment in some places is 60%.

00:22:23.000 Inflation is down a lot from when Rouhani got elected, but it's still pretty high.

00:22:28.000 Wages have not gone up.

00:22:30.000 The prices of, it's true, the prices of dairy and poultry and eggs are rising, of course.

00:22:36.000 But there's just something fishy going on here.

00:22:38.000 There's just something not quite right here.

00:22:40.000 That's not going to be enough.

00:22:41.000 And why are people acting like it? 0.74

00:22:43.000 So that's what I learned about Iran today.

00:22:45.000 And then I also learned, I also learned that you had, You had these chants going on.

00:22:51.000 And this is so rich because I'm reading it in the media, right?

00:22:53.000 I'm reading the Israeli media and I'm reading the mainstream media.

00:22:57.000 And they're talking about how there's this one chant.

00:22:59.000 This popped up on every website that I'm looking at about the Iranian protests.

00:23:04.000 One chant in particular.

00:23:05.000 You heard it in antiwar.com.

00:23:08.000 I read it in BBC.

00:23:09.000 I read it in Washington Post.

00:23:11.000 I read it on Fox News.

00:23:13.000 Same chant.

00:23:14.000 And the chant that the protesters allegedly are chanting is No Gaza, no Lebanon, no Syria.

00:23:20.000 I give my life for Iran.

00:23:23.000 And of course, this is in reference to Iran's expansionist military policy, where they have influence and they're spending money in these different countries, in Palestine, in Syria, in Lebanon.

00:23:34.000 And you look at a chant like that, and you've got to wonder okay, so they're telling us the protests are about economics, or it's about pollution, or it's about any variety of things.

00:23:44.000 I guess it's everything the New World Order doesn't like about Iran, any reason they can mobilize to displace this regime.

00:23:51.000 And then you hear the chants, and they're chanting, they're parroting, essentially.

00:23:56.000 The concerns of the United States and Israeli foreign policy establishment. 0.82

00:24:00.000 We don't want to run in Gaza.

00:24:02.000 We don't want to run in Syria. 0.99

00:24:04.000 We don't want to run in Lebanon. 0.99

00:24:05.000 Gee, you know, does that sound like a rural Iranian? 0.99

00:24:08.000 Does that sound like a middle class Iranian who's been a victim of inflation?

00:24:13.000 Or does that sound like, you know, a royal family member in Saudi Arabia?

00:24:17.000 Does that sound like somebody in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

00:24:22.000 Does that sound like someone in the United States State Department?

00:24:25.000 You know, why are these protesters, you got less than a thousand, which is not a lot.

00:24:29.000 Difficult to organize.

00:24:30.000 There's no leadership to speak of. 1.00

00:24:32.000 They're all over the country and they're out there essentially parroting the foreign affairs talking points of Zog, of the international foreign policy cartel in these countries. 0.99

00:24:45.000 So, what's that all about? 0.92

00:24:46.000 Just so many fishy things where people are throwing in their lot with these protesters and they're saying, well, mainstream media is not covering it, therefore it's legitimate.

00:24:55.000 But look at what's going on.

00:24:57.000 What's going on here, folks?

00:25:00.000 That said, all of that said, when we look at the strong possibility that there is foreign involvement, it looks like the CIA has its fingerprints all over this.

00:25:09.000 KSA, Israel probably has their fingerprints all over this.

00:25:14.000 All of that said, I don't think there will be war.

00:25:16.000 I don't think there will be war.

00:25:17.000 And people are throwing this around like it's already said and done.

00:25:21.000 Like we're already going to war with Iran.

00:25:23.000 And this is so typical of people in this movement.

00:25:25.000 It was the same thing with Syria 100,000 ground troops in Syria on June 1st.

00:25:29.000 It's just like Iraq.

00:25:30.000 I was there.

00:25:31.000 You don't remember.

00:25:32.000 You're too young.

00:25:33.000 And they're saying the same thing about Iran.

00:25:35.000 Does anybody understand what a war in Iran would look like?

00:25:39.000 Does anybody consider that when they talk about this stuff?

00:25:42.000 I don't think people really, and this is not like, I'm not trying to get on my high horse like I'm a military expert or anything, but I don't think people understand the gravity of what a war looks like.

00:25:52.000 People have it in their head that America is a hyperpower and therefore going and invading Iran is like just knocking them over.

00:25:59.000 It just happens, you know?

00:26:02.000 Well, Iran, a war in Iran would be logistically very difficult.

00:26:06.000 Monetarily very expensive, would require massive amounts of troops.

00:26:11.000 So, people talking about Donald Trump mobilizing for war in Iran, this is the part that I will have to defend. 0.99

00:26:17.000 I don't defend the protests, I don't defend the Zog involvement there, KSA, and all that. 0.98

00:26:23.000 But I will defend Trump.

00:26:24.000 I don't think he's going to war in Iran.

00:26:25.000 And you have to understand what we're talking about here.

00:26:28.000 When we talk about war in Iran, this is not like the 4,000 troops that are in Syria, this is not like the 1,000 advisors that are going to be put in Afghanistan, this is not like the 52 missiles launched in Syria in April.

00:26:41.000 We're talking about anywhere between 200 and 300,000 U.S. ground troops.

00:26:47.000 We're talking about $1 trillion, the bare minimum.

00:26:52.000 We're talking about a prolonged occupation that will be far bloodier, far more deadly, fighting a military far greater, a people far more hostile than anybody in Iraq, a geography worse than Iraq, worse than Kuwait, worse than any theater we fought in since probably Vietnam or Korea.

00:27:12.000 And so when people talk about, oh, there's war in Iran, Donald Trump is meddling in the Middle East, let's look at exactly what we're talking about.

00:27:20.000 For us to invade Iran, we would have to send 30,000, 20,000 to 30,000 Marines to secure some kind of a beachhead, probably off the Persian Gulf.

00:27:30.000 We would be talking about 200,000 to 300,000 ground forces. 0.72

00:27:34.000 We would be talking about a massive occupation. 0.97

00:27:37.000 And the Iranian strategy when we would invade would be to bleed us out. 1.00

00:27:41.000 That would be the Iranian strategy. 0.98

00:27:43.000 Not to fight us head on like Iraq, but to sit and to wait and to fight the insurgency. 0.96

00:27:48.000 And that would be devastating. 0.54

00:27:49.000 We're talking about a war in a country that is mostly desert.

00:27:53.000 That is very mountainous.

00:27:55.000 These are the two worst types of terrain to fight a war in, according to Napoleon.

00:27:59.000 Napoleon said that the three worst types of terrain to fight a war in are first deserts, second mountains, and then great rivers.

00:28:07.000 The whole country is deserts and mountains.

00:28:10.000 And, you know, we've been in Afghanistan for 12 years.

00:28:13.000 That's a desert mountain country. 1.00

00:28:14.000 How's that gone? 0.99

00:28:15.000 You know, and that's with a tenth of the population, no military, no infrastructure, and maybe the people kind of want us there compared to Iran, which, you know, we get into all the baggage historically and why the Persians are very secretive and very hostile, very internalized, and the same with Shiites in general.

00:28:33.000 So, when people talk about this war in Iran, this is a very serious thing we're talking about. 0.53

00:28:38.000 This proposal has tremendous gravity.

00:28:41.000 It's not so simple as we're going to war in Iran. 0.74

00:28:44.000 We have a couple thousand advisors in Syria, we have a couple thousand advisors in Afghanistan, we have an additional 4,000 troops in Afghanistan, and therefore we're going to war in Iran. 0.53

00:28:55.000 It is nothing close.

00:28:56.000 It's not in the same ballpark, it's not the same sport.

00:28:59.000 Talking about war in Iran.

00:29:00.000 It'd be bigger than war in North Korea, probably.

00:29:03.000 Actually, I don't know if that's true. 1.00

00:29:04.000 Maybe it would be.

00:29:06.000 It'd probably be somewhat equal.

00:29:08.000 And so when people talk about war with Iran, we have to look at what is Donald Trump's interest.

00:29:13.000 Is it in Donald Trump's interest to have a sustained military occupation of Iran with lots of casualties, very expensive, probably much more difficult than toppling Saddam Hussein, probably the worst war since Vietnam?

00:29:28.000 Is that something that's in Donald Trump's interest?

00:29:30.000 Can anybody.

00:29:31.000 Square that circle, why Donald Trump would want us to be engaged in a full fledged ground war in Iran?

00:29:37.000 Because that's what people are talking about.

00:29:39.000 People are saying we're already there.

00:29:41.000 It's already game set and match.

00:29:43.000 Maybe he can hold them back, but it's going to happen eventually.

00:29:46.000 Tell me why Donald Trump, as the commander in chief of the military, as the chief decision maker in the U.S. government, would do that.

00:29:54.000 What would be in his interest there?

00:29:56.000 It's against his ideological interest.

00:29:59.000 The man has been anti war for 40 years.

00:30:01.000 He was opposed to the Iraq war from the beginning when it was going well.

00:30:05.000 And he was opposed to it not only because of his ideology, non intervention, but also because he knew it wouldn't work. 0.62

00:30:12.000 And he also knew that it would affect the geopolitics of the region, that if you take out Iraq, you have a power vacuum.

00:30:18.000 So ideologically, Donald Trump is against war in Iran.

00:30:21.000 It's the same thing like Iraq, the same effect of having a power vacuum, of destabilizing.

00:30:27.000 It would cost money, which he's principally opposed to, it would cost American lives, which he's principally opposed to. 0.82

00:30:32.000 He would have to nation build in some capacity, which he's principally opposed to.

00:30:36.000 So ideologically, there's no reason why Donald Trump would go to war.

00:30:40.000 In terms of his political interest, winning re election, there's no chance.

00:30:45.000 There's just, there's no argument even to be made there.

00:30:47.000 Politically, there is no reason why Donald Trump would take us to war.

00:30:50.000 There is no way, shape, or form that that would benefit him.

00:30:53.000 This is a war that you would not see the gains for years. 0.96

00:30:57.000 You would not see a victory in Iran for a decade or two. 0.66

00:31:00.000 And in the short term, it would be very ugly, very devastating fighting. 0.62

00:31:04.000 It would make him like Lyndon Johnson with Vietnam, it would make him a one term president. 0.65

00:31:09.000 So there's no political interest.

00:31:11.000 In terms of his personal interest, you know, you think of why Donald Trump got into office, why he set aside his great life to run for president, and there's no guarantee that he would win.

00:31:20.000 And it was because either he wanted to make change, in which case we look at ideology, or maybe he wants a legacy.

00:31:26.000 Even if we take a more cynical look at Donald Trump and we say that he makes policy decisions based on more of a personal self interest, more of a self interest in the sense that he wants to be remembered, he wants to be liked, he wants a legacy.

00:31:41.000 Does he want to go down in history like Lyndon Johnson?

00:31:44.000 Does he want to go down in history like Harry Truman?

00:31:47.000 I don't think so.

00:31:48.000 You know, he would be George W. Bush.

00:31:51.000 Was George W. Bush fondly remembered in the years after he brought us into Iraq, you know, even after 2004 or after 2008?

00:32:00.000 So I don't think there's any, you know, you can say that it's astroturfed.

00:32:03.000 You can be against the neocons that are advocating for war.

00:32:07.000 You can say that Donald Trump is going in a bad direction.

00:32:10.000 Maybe the language makes you anxious or nervous.

00:32:13.000 But I don't think anybody could tell you.

00:32:15.000 With a straight face, what war in Iran entails and why Donald Trump would pursue that.

00:32:21.000 What on earth would make him pursue that?

00:32:24.000 Maybe your argument is that he's compromised.

00:32:26.000 In that case, there's no way to prove that.

00:32:28.000 And I can't prove a negative, but I don't think that's happening. 0.85

00:32:32.000 So that's some more white pills on Iran.

00:32:34.000 If we actually look at it, because I know yesterday we kind of covered the protests in general, but if we cover some of the prescriptive things that we've been hearing about regime change, it's just kind of a misreading of the situation where, number one, these Protests are not going to challenge the legitimacy of the regime unless anything changes, unless there's some kind of foreign influence.

00:32:54.000 And then, if you look at the war angle, there will not be a war delivered in Iran. 0.55

00:32:58.000 So, that's Iran.

00:32:59.000 I know we talked about that at length yesterday.

00:33:01.000 The last thing we want to talk about here is North Korea.

00:33:05.000 And this is a little bit more worrying.

00:33:08.000 This is a little bit more perturbing, of course, because we have the upcoming Winter Olympics.

00:33:14.000 I think it's the Winter Olympics, right?

00:33:16.000 The Winter Olympics that are in South Korea.

00:33:20.000 And so, there will be.

00:33:21.000 Bilateral talks between South Korea and North Korea regarding the Olympics and is North Korea going to try anything?

00:33:29.000 Will there be a missile test?

00:33:30.000 Will there be a nuclear test?

00:33:31.000 Will they attack the Olympics?

00:33:33.000 Who knows?

00:33:34.000 And so, in the wake of discussions which have been agreed to, bilateral discussions about the Olympics, there has been talk today, and I hadn't heard about this until today, that there'll be another North Korean missile test sometime this week, either today or by the middle of the week.

00:33:52.000 And this was talked about by Nikki Haley this afternoon.

00:33:54.000 She got up in front of the, you know, she did a press conference as the ambassador of the UN, and she said, you know, her comments on Iran.

00:34:02.000 She said her comments on Pakistan.

00:34:03.000 And then she talked about North Korea, which is a little bit odd.

00:34:06.000 She said that she expected North Korea to be launching a ballistic missile sometime in the near future.

00:34:11.000 And I don't think anybody had heard of this until Nikki Haley talked about it.

00:34:16.000 And then I saw some other reports that North Korea, there's been some movement north of Pyongyang where their last missile test was.

00:34:23.000 And so it's looking like there may be another missile test.

00:34:26.000 This comes off the heels of Kim Jong un tweeting, or not tweeting, but in an official statement the other day saying that North Korea's nuclear arsenal is complete.

00:34:35.000 He has the button on his desk, he has the capability.

00:34:38.000 Donald Trump just responded shortly before the program started saying basically he's got the same thing, only much more powerful in his works.

00:34:47.000 And we have to look at what's going on in North Korea in light of what's going on in Iran.

00:34:52.000 I think there is this kind of indirect relationship between Donald Trump's strategy in the Middle East.

00:35:00.000 And Donald Trump's strategy in the Pacific.

00:35:02.000 Because let's look at what's happening in the Pacific.

00:35:05.000 Since Donald Trump got into office, he's been playing it very aggressively against North Korea.

00:35:09.000 North Korea, of course, has been playing it very aggressively with us.

00:35:13.000 More missile tests, more nuclear tests than in years past, than at any point in his father's reign.

00:35:20.000 Donald Trump has responded with Minutemen missile launches in the Pacific.

00:35:24.000 He's responded with sanctions.

00:35:26.000 He's responded with UN Security Council sanctions.

00:35:29.000 He's pressured China into sanctioning North Korea, and on and on and on. 0.54

00:35:33.000 And so there's been all kinds of efforts undertaken to deter North Korea. 0.63

00:35:37.000 From developing a nuclear strike, and more importantly, to bring them to the table to negotiate eventually, to negotiate down their nuclear program.

00:35:46.000 And so we've seen this been going on since January, since he got inaugurated.

00:35:50.000 And we're seeing that it's working to some extent in the sense that the North Korean regime is getting more desperate and their people are obviously starving.

00:35:58.000 You've had two defections in the past three months of North Korean soldiers fleeing the DMZ.

00:36:03.000 So maybe that gives us an insight into what's going on within North Korea.

00:36:07.000 But you look at the one commodity, the one thing that's keeping them going.

00:36:10.000 For the most part, they have established themselves as basically self sufficient.

00:36:14.000 And with a little bit of help from China, they'll get enough help from China because China doesn't want them to collapse.

00:36:20.000 They can subsist without the United States.

00:36:23.000 They can subsist breaking off from the United States financial system in the world.

00:36:29.000 Well, the president tweeted a couple of weeks ago, or I think he tweeted this week, about China saying that they've got to cut off the oil. 0.53

00:36:37.000 They're not going to solve the North Korea issue unless they cut off the oil.

00:36:40.000 They cut off the oil. 0.89

00:36:41.000 North Korea has three months to live. 0.69

00:36:43.000 They don't cut off the oil.

00:36:44.000 They could probably go on indefinitely.

00:36:46.000 And so you look at what's going on in North Korea where we've basically run out of options.

00:36:50.000 We've sanctioned everybody. 0.90

00:36:51.000 We've sanctioned companies involved with North Korea. 0.72

00:36:53.000 We've sanctioned countries involved with North Korea.

00:36:56.000 We've sanctioned individuals involved with North Korea. 0.99

00:36:59.000 We tried to implement that.

00:37:00.000 South Korea doesn't want it.

00:37:02.000 We've done missile defense as much as we can do.

00:37:04.000 We've allocated, I think, an additional $3 billion for missile defense, emergency funds.

00:37:10.000 And we're basically at the breaking point here.

00:37:12.000 We have no more sticks, no more sticks except for. 0.93

00:37:15.000 An attack on North Korea. 0.93

00:37:17.000 We've tried missile strikes in terms of we've launched Minaman missiles from California to the Pacific. 0.82

00:37:23.000 We've tried missile drills, or rather military drills, with three aircraft carriers.

00:37:27.000 It hasn't been done since 2007.

00:37:29.000 You've had that many aircraft carriers involved in a drill.

00:37:33.000 You've got an additional two hanging back in the East Pacific.

00:37:36.000 You have China cooperating to an unprecedented degree in the sanctions and in the diplomatic sanctioning of North Korea, and they're still going strong.

00:37:46.000 Still launching missiles, still blowing up nuclear bombs.

00:37:49.000 And so Donald Trump here is basically at a standstill.

00:37:52.000 Basically, you know, we don't have any more options.

00:37:55.000 It's a lot of bluster, it's a lot of rhetoric, and we're playing chicken here in North Korea and backing down.

00:38:01.000 So if you're Donald Trump and you're looking at the situation in the Pacific and you're thinking, hmm, how do I get Kim Jong Un to know I'm serious?

00:38:08.000 How do I get him to know that I'm totally serious about going to war with him?

00:38:12.000 How do I get him to blink first?

00:38:15.000 We need him to believe that we're going to war in North Korea if he doesn't stop.

00:38:20.000 But Mattis and our own administration, our own people are saying it would be so costly it wouldn't be worth it, or it'd be tremendously costly, it'd involve a ground invasion and all these other things.

00:38:31.000 How can I convince North Korea that we are serious about that?

00:38:35.000 Look at what's going on in Iran. 0.89

00:38:37.000 Look at what's going on in Iran.

00:38:39.000 If we look at these protests, if we look at this regime which is acting up, this regime which does not have a nuclear arsenal, which is not yet nuclear capable, but which did come to the table and negotiate.

00:38:50.000 Maybe if we put the pressure up on them, maybe if we show North Korea what happens if you misbehave, what happens when the people start to rise up in response to a bad economy, right? 0.91

00:39:01.000 Bad economy got you down, Iran. 0.94

00:39:04.000 Bad economy got you down, North Korea.

00:39:06.000 Gee, it'd be a shame to see massive protests all across the country.

00:39:09.000 It'd be a shame if the United States conducted an information war against your country and if they tacitly endorsed the protesters.

00:39:16.000 It'd be a shame if, I don't know, everybody was talking about military intervention.

00:39:20.000 It would be totally unprecedented, but everybody's talking about it.

00:39:24.000 I think you have to look at it in that lens.

00:39:26.000 That's the only way I can make sense out of it.

00:39:28.000 That's the only way. 0.61

00:39:29.000 You know, if we look at the United States' motivations in particular, Absent Israel, absent KSA, and they have their own motivations, and they're probably conducting their own things in Iran right now.

00:39:40.000 But if we look at just the United States, I think that might be the angle here because the focus for this administration has not been on Iran.

00:39:47.000 It's very peculiar that all of a sudden we hear all this stuff about Iran.

00:39:50.000 I don't think that's a coincidence.

00:39:52.000 The focus has been North Korea. 0.96

00:39:53.000 Focus on North Korea. 0.65

00:39:55.000 Why is this Iran distraction popping up?

00:39:57.000 It doesn't make any sense in any other context. 0.75

00:40:00.000 So that's North Korea. 0.96

00:40:02.000 That's Iran. 0.52

00:40:03.000 I really do think it's all connected there.

00:40:05.000 I think it may be.

00:40:07.000 Theater for North Korea, but more importantly for China. 0.99

00:40:09.000 North Korea may be dumb enough or smart enough to say it's a bluff. 0.98

00:40:13.000 China doesn't have the same luxury. 0.94

00:40:16.000 Because if China's wrong, you know, their whole expansionist dreams, their security, all this stuff, they will be strangled in the crib in their vision if the United States gets a foothold in North Korea, if they get another friendly government there.

00:40:30.000 That would be a serious strategic disaster for China.

00:40:35.000 And so that would be a problem for them moving on.

00:40:37.000 North Korea, it's basically this like suicidal.

00:40:40.000 This is very dark.

00:40:42.000 It's a brilliant strategy, but very dark, where they say basically, we're all going to die no matter what, so we have to have this nuclear arsenal so that the United States can't come in and invade us.

00:40:53.000 And if the United States does invade, then they blow everybody up.

00:40:57.000 And they say, you will stop this invasion.

00:41:00.000 China, they're much more invested in the long term.

00:41:02.000 They're much more invested in not being blown up, not going to war with the United States, not having to blow up the entire world. 0.58

00:41:10.000 And so, China.

00:41:11.000 In that sense, like the United States, like Russia, is much more vested in a stable world order, in a safe world order.

00:41:21.000 And so that's why it might be a little bit more for China, where North Korea might be able to call their bluff.

00:41:26.000 China can't.

00:41:27.000 They can't afford it. 0.97

00:41:28.000 So that's that.

00:41:30.000 That's foreign policy.

00:41:31.000 I know it's very foreign policy heavy, but not a lot going on in the United States domestically, not since the tax bill.

00:41:37.000 We'll get into your questions here.

00:41:39.000 We'll jump into your super chats.

00:41:41.000 We'll see what the masses are saying today.

00:41:45.000 Has the.

00:41:46.000 Has my signal been going out?

00:41:48.000 Because every time I look at the stream health, and it looks like it's going up and down.

00:41:55.000 But anyway, we'll look at your questions, comments, concerns.

00:41:59.000 I know a lot of people disagree with me, and it's so funny.

00:42:02.000 People are on my Twitter, they're saying, Nick is a shill.

00:42:05.000 First of all, I address all these questions in the show, but it's like ask the question on the show so I can address it.

00:42:11.000 People are so tough and brave on Twitter when it's not really advantageous for me to respond.

00:42:18.000 And we'll see.

00:42:19.000 Brandon Zosmal says, What did you think of Doki Doki Literature Club?

00:42:23.000 Well, too spooky for me.

00:42:27.000 You know, I played it, I made my way through it, but it was very spooky.

00:42:33.000 And I was not pleased with my friend who showed it to me, who lied to me.

00:42:37.000 And here's the thing I went to his house to play Doki Doki Literature Club, which is this computer game, if you're not familiar, and it presents itself as this cute Japanese dating simulator.

00:42:48.000 And I'm like, you know, something's not quite right here.

00:42:49.000 So I start playing it and I tell my buddy, I go, Steve, is there going to be any jump scares in this?

00:42:54.000 I don't like jump scares.

00:42:55.000 I don't want to be shocked like this.

00:42:57.000 And I knew this because he's telling me, do you want to put on headphones or do you want to play it with the speakers on?

00:43:02.000 I'm like, why would I want to do it with the headphones?

00:43:04.000 So I say, are there any jump scares?

00:43:06.000 He says, no.

00:43:06.000 I go, are you sure?

00:43:08.000 I feel like there are.

00:43:09.000 And he goes, no, no, no.

00:43:12.000 And I was not happy when I found out there were.

00:43:15.000 And I hate to spoil it for people that haven't played the game yet.

00:43:18.000 I don't want to spoil it completely.

00:43:21.000 But it's not what you think.

00:43:22.000 So it was fun overall.

00:43:24.000 I will say, generally, I guess it was enjoyable.

00:43:26.000 But I don't like these surprises.

00:43:28.000 I don't like being scared like that.

00:43:30.000 Emperor's Finest, Trump's tweet.

00:43:33.000 What do you think of Hatch resigning?

00:43:37.000 Well, the real problem with Hatch resigning is Mitt Romney.

00:43:41.000 You know, it's not so much about Orrin Hatch as much as it is about what comes next in Utah with Mitt Romney, who it's looking like he will be the successor to Orrin Hatch in his Senate seat.

00:43:53.000 And the problem with that is give Mitt Romney a platform and he'll use it against the president.

00:43:58.000 Give Mitt Romney a platform.

00:44:00.000 Maybe he runs in 2020 for president.

00:44:03.000 And people might say, well, he'd have no chance of winning.

00:44:05.000 That's not the point.

00:44:06.000 He might win Utah.

00:44:07.000 And this is the same thing that happened in 2016 with Evan McMullen, where the deep state and these Republican establishment types tried to sabotage this president, tried to sabotage this movement, destroy their own party in the name of country, they say.

00:44:21.000 Country over party, more like shekels over party.

00:44:24.000 And they tried to do that in 2016 with Evan McMullen in Utah as a spoiler candidate, because, of course, if Evan McMullen won Utah and it was a very slim electoral margin, it could have thrown in favor of Hillary Clinton.

00:44:37.000 And so that's the real danger that I see is that if Mitt Romney gets in in Utah and he's selected to take over Orrin Hatch's place, he will have a platform.

00:44:47.000 He will be able to gain support in the national press, in Utah in particular.

00:44:52.000 And then who knows, maybe he'll launch some kind of a bid.

00:44:54.000 Maybe he'll try and thwart Donald Trump's plans in the Senate and the House.

00:44:59.000 Not a good thing to get more of these guys because a lot of them are on the way out.

00:45:02.000 John McCain's on the way out, Jeff Flake is on the way out.

00:45:06.000 A lot of people think Mitch McConnell might be on the way out.

00:45:08.000 And to get Mitt Romney in would be just a fresh injection of deep state poison into this party.

00:45:14.000 So, nothing Donald Trump couldn't handle, but it's just going to be a big obstacle.

00:45:20.000 Alciabades, again with the names Alciabades, Clinus.

00:45:26.000 I'm butchering it, but you know what?

00:45:28.000 I'm a proud Yank.

00:45:30.000 If it's not a good amount of consonants and vowels, if it's not a respectable amount of consonants and vowels, it's all over the place.

00:45:37.000 You know, that's just what's going to happen.

00:45:40.000 And this person says, would we threaten best Korea if the IMF was already in control there?

00:45:46.000 How many million GOI will die for them this time?

00:45:48.000 Oh, come on with this stuff.

00:45:50.000 Really?

00:45:51.000 You know, I really, the conspiracy theories about North Korea being toppled because they don't have a Rothschild's bank there, you know, or Libya being toppled because they don't have an Illuminati bank there.

00:46:03.000 I don't know.

00:46:04.000 I just am skeptical of this.

00:46:06.000 Generally, there is conflict in the world, a lot of it is Israel.

00:46:10.000 A lot of it is this establishment, this international clique. 0.71

00:46:14.000 A lot of it is.

00:46:15.000 But a lot of it is just about money.

00:46:17.000 A lot of it is just about pipelines.

00:46:20.000 A lot of it is just about troops and ports and bases and airstrips.

00:46:25.000 And that's just how it is sometimes.

00:46:27.000 You know, Russia, for example, invaded Crimea in 2014.

00:46:37.000 And it wasn't because of some kind of ideological mission.

00:46:40.000 It wasn't because of nationalism.

00:46:42.000 It wasn't because of the ethnic Russians there. 0.92

00:46:43.000 It was because You control Crimea, you control the Black Sea. 0.91

00:46:47.000 Simple as that.

00:46:48.000 Control a very important strategic position in the Black Sea.

00:46:51.000 Very important.

00:46:52.000 Kaliningrad in Eastern Europe, they're putting missiles there.

00:46:56.000 Is that an ideological thing?

00:46:57.000 No.

00:46:58.000 It's about influence.

00:46:59.000 It's about power.

00:47:00.000 It's about money. 0.73

00:47:02.000 And so, with North Korea, you know, you look at that country, that is just a strategic threat to the United States, unless you believe that North Korea is like a CIA run PSYOP, in which case, you know, maybe have a case there. 0.62

00:47:15.000 I haven't really looked at the evidence for that. 0.67

00:47:17.000 But if we assume that North Korea is being run by Kim Jong un, that is a country that is a strategic threat to the United States.

00:47:26.000 And unless you believe that they're lying, And everyone's lying about the nuclear missiles and everyone's lying about the nuclear tests.

00:47:32.000 The world press is lying about it.

00:47:34.000 It's all propped up by the CIA.

00:47:36.000 Everything's a lie.

00:47:37.000 I can't disprove that.

00:47:38.000 We have to operate on the assumption that what we see is kind of what we get.

00:47:42.000 I know we doubt a lot on this show, but there are some things we have to accept, you know, functionally so we can move on with the conversation. 0.68

00:47:49.000 And if we accept that North Korea is run by Kim Jong un and they have this nuclear arsenal or they're pursuing one and nuclear weapons exist, then we have to assume that that is an existential threat to our country. 0.63

00:48:00.000 And that's what it's about.

00:48:01.000 You know, I don't think Donald Trump wants to do away with North Korea because there's not an IMF bank there. 0.55

00:48:07.000 I think it's because Donald Trump understands that if North Korea is in control of a nuclear arsenal, that could very quickly become not good for the United States.

00:48:15.000 And that's if they decide to use it, if there's a revolution and it falls into the wrong hands, if there's regime change and another regime comes into power and they use it, if this regime on the way out decides to use it.

00:48:27.000 I mean, who knows?

00:48:27.000 That's the problem when it's that unstable.

00:48:30.000 And people say, oh, well, Pakistan has nuclear weapons.

00:48:34.000 All kinds of other unstable countries have nuclear weapons.

00:48:37.000 Is that, do we want more unstable countries with nuclear weapons?

00:48:40.000 No, we want less.

00:48:41.000 And so I don't think it's about Rothschild's banks.

00:48:44.000 I think it's, in this case, it's about that.

00:48:46.000 In Iran, I agree with you.

00:48:47.000 In Libya, Iraq, Egypt, you know, when they deposed Mubarak, I agree with you.

00:48:55.000 Not in North Korea. 0.96

00:48:55.000 I think North Korea is a legitimate threat. 0.96

00:48:57.000 You know, you can't just chalk up everything to like that. 1.00

00:49:00.000 Everything's just, you know, whatever.

00:49:02.000 So there it is.

00:49:04.000 But, but, If there is war, a lot of people will die.

00:49:07.000 And that is unfortunate.

00:49:08.000 And that's because, actually, the establishment, you know, that's kind of ironic. 0.77

00:49:13.000 The reason we didn't address North Korea in the first place when it should have been dealt with is because we were distracted with Israel's wars.

00:49:20.000 So you want to look at the Israeli angle here in this.

00:49:22.000 Israel's not in control of North Korea.

00:49:24.000 Israel's not bringing us to war with North Korea. 0.92

00:49:26.000 Israel's the reason we didn't solve this 20 years sooner. 0.90

00:49:29.000 So that's your angle there. 1.00

00:49:30.000 I mean, that's how they've hurt us.

00:49:33.000 Simon Skola, the mugs are great, but how can you be America first? 0.99

00:49:36.000 And sell a mug which says America First that is made in China. 0.98

00:49:40.000 We'd all be willing to pay more. 0.66

00:49:41.000 Well, you understand how it works.

00:49:44.000 You all understand how it goes.

00:49:45.000 And Donald Trump said this during the election when people said the same thing about his ties.

00:49:51.000 We're at a point in the economy where it's simply impossible to employ people to make things cheaply like that.

00:49:58.000 And the mugs were printed in the United States, they were manufactured in China, but they were printed in the United States, I know.

00:50:04.000 And, you know, in my defense, of course, as a co founder of the company, I bear responsibility, but.

00:50:10.000 I didn't exactly pick the supplier.

00:50:12.000 That said, the policies that are in place make it so that this is par for the course.

00:50:17.000 This is just a necessity.

00:50:19.000 And we don't want to bleed our people dry, and we didn't even make that good of margins on it anyway.

00:50:24.000 But that's just how it goes.

00:50:25.000 We'd like to move it in a different direction so that it's profitable and it's cheap to get them done in America.

00:50:31.000 But I mean, it's no secret that that's how the trade practices work.

00:50:34.000 That's how the currency manipulation works.

00:50:36.000 That's how the labor laws work. 0.99

00:50:39.000 China, they pay them pennies to do it. 0.99

00:50:40.000 And in America, you've got to give them Social Security and Medicare and minimum wage.

00:50:45.000 Got to make sure that the OSHA regulations are okay and everything else.

00:50:48.000 So, but yeah, hopefully in 20 years, in 30 years, when we get our trade reform, we can get our America made mugs.

00:50:56.000 They're printed.

00:50:57.000 I know that's a sorry consolation, but that is the reality of the situation. 0.77

00:51:02.000 Right from Wrong says they sterilize or boot blacks there, but want more here. 1.00

00:51:09.000 It's true. 1.00

00:51:10.000 It's true. 1.00

00:51:11.000 And of course, you know, the only people that ever want African migrants and Hispanic migrants in our countries are the people that don't have to deal with them, either the people in other countries. 0.99

00:51:21.000 The people that are rich in our countries, the people that are powerful in the gated communities, the people that could always, I don't know, have somewhere that they could go to. 0.99

00:51:28.000 Like if this doesn't work out, they could always go somewhere else. 0.94

00:51:31.000 It's kind of easier to advocate for illegal immigration or African migration. 0.80

00:51:36.000 You know, you imagine if you go to a friend's house and there's a wild party going on there, well, you're probably going to be a lot less careful about how many people go there and how many people are drunk and how drunk they get and if they break stuff because at the end of the day, you get to go back to your house and your house is fine. 0.98

00:51:55.000 There's no party goers.

00:51:56.000 There's no alcohol.

00:51:57.000 There's no reckless stuff.

00:51:59.000 Nobody's breaking stuff.

00:52:00.000 So, when you go to your friend's house for a party, you're going to party your heart out. 0.99

00:52:05.000 If you're a bastard, if you are an irresponsible, selfish kind of a person, you would go to that person's house and say, I don't care what happens to this house. 1.00

00:52:14.000 I don't care. 1.00

00:52:15.000 I'm here for the party.

00:52:17.000 I'm here for the booze.

00:52:18.000 I'm here for all the rest.

00:52:20.000 And if this house is full of people that want to break stuff, if this house is full of people who want to smash the walls in and Tear everything down and blow everything up.

00:52:30.000 Well, let them.

00:52:31.000 Let's see what happens.

00:52:32.000 Maybe it'll be funny because you could always go back to your house.

00:52:36.000 And you have the same logic here with these people, where certain people in this country, you know, let's see if it works.

00:52:42.000 Let's see if this experiment works, or at least that's the logic. 0.81

00:52:46.000 Let's see what happens if we bring in 10 million Hispanics and millions of Africans. 0.83

00:52:50.000 Let's see. 0.53

00:52:51.000 Maybe it'll work.

00:52:52.000 Maybe they'll integrate.

00:52:53.000 Maybe they won't.

00:52:54.000 I don't know.

00:52:54.000 But if they don't, I get to always go back to Tel Aviv.

00:52:59.000 I always get to go back to Jerusalem where it's safe and everything else.

00:53:04.000 So, yeah, isn't that always how it goes, right?

00:53:08.000 And you know why they're doing it.

00:53:09.000 You know why people are being brought here.

00:53:12.000 People are being brought here to dumb us down.

00:53:14.000 People are being brought here to divide us.

00:53:17.000 And that's not like divide and conquer Fox News stuff to make it so that we are rootless, to sever us from all connection to our ancestors, to our children, to each other, and make it so that we are easily ruled so we don't ask questions.

00:53:31.000 So, you just go to work.

00:53:32.000 That's what they want.

00:53:34.000 They want it so that we go to work, we go home.

00:53:34.000 That is what they want.

00:53:38.000 And if corruption happens, you know, if the government eats and we work, if we were made to work and they were made to eat, well, we're not really in a position to do much about it because the guy down the street, you know, your next door neighbor speaks Chinese, your other next door neighbor speaks Spanish, people across the way hate you, and, you know, there's an ethnic conflict going on there and all the rest.

00:53:58.000 That's what they want for this country. 0.90

00:54:01.000 Sarah Highlander says xenophilia is a suicidal mental disorder. 0.97

00:54:05.000 Yeah, they talk about xenophobia. 0.94

00:54:07.000 What is wrong with xenophobia?

00:54:09.000 Xenophobia is an irrational fear of outsiders.

00:54:14.000 What is irrational about being afraid of outsiders?

00:54:16.000 Have you looked at the outside?

00:54:18.000 Have you been to where these people are from?

00:54:20.000 Is that an irrational fear?

00:54:22.000 You go to the south side of Chicago and you look at what goes on there and you go back home and you contemplate what if I brought those people over here?

00:54:29.000 Would it be irrational to fear those people if they came into your home?

00:54:33.000 You see where they come from.

00:54:35.000 Is that so irrational to say, I kind of don't want that over here? 1.00

00:54:38.000 You look at Africa. 1.00

00:54:40.000 Is it irrational to say that we don't want the people that produced what's going on over there? 1.00

00:54:46.000 Hey, I can't find a single success story in Africa, and yet we're supposed to open our doors to these people. 1.00

00:54:51.000 It's supposed to all work out.

00:54:52.000 That's beyond debate.

00:54:53.000 That's beyond an argument.

00:54:55.000 Really?

00:54:56.000 You know, it's like you have one kid, you know, you got one person in the neighborhood who he's just no good.

00:55:03.000 He steals from everybody.

00:55:03.000 He's trouble.

00:55:04.000 He breaks stuff.

00:55:05.000 He vandalizes everything.

00:55:06.000 He's a known criminal.

00:55:08.000 And if you discriminated against that guy, you're a bad person.

00:55:11.000 It's irrational.

00:55:12.000 No.

00:55:12.000 What?

00:55:13.000 Of course not.

00:55:15.000 But we're expected to put that aside because all people are equal, you see.

00:55:19.000 And you start to really examine what are the underlying assumptions for how people can believe these things.

00:55:25.000 That's when you understand political correctness.

00:55:27.000 That's when you understand it.

00:55:29.000 What are the underlying assumptions for why mass immigration is happening?

00:55:32.000 All men are created equal.

00:55:34.000 Race is a social construct, race is about skin color.

00:55:39.000 Once those ideas, once that ideology comes under fire by facts and data and history and analysis, suddenly mass immigration.

00:55:48.000 Very bad idea, very dubious. 0.86

00:55:50.000 That's why they can't let you talk about it.

00:55:52.000 That's why political correctness was designed.

00:55:55.000 And you talk about the Talmud, it goes against the narrative.

00:55:58.000 It's not politically correct, you see.

00:56:00.000 These people start talking about what's in the Talmud, and they start saying, hmm, these people have a weird antipathy towards Christians and Europeans and white people, and really anybody who isn't like them.

00:56:11.000 And then you look at what's going on in media and banks and everything else, and you say, maybe they don't have our best interests at heart.

00:56:18.000 You're not allowed to ask those questions.

00:56:21.000 And our last super chat here before we go is not Mal Mortis, who just says hi, a simple hi.

00:56:26.000 Well, thank you.

00:56:28.000 Hello to you, too.

00:56:29.000 Sometimes that's all it takes, right?

00:56:31.000 A good deed in a weary world, a simple greeting.

00:56:34.000 Hello.

00:56:35.000 But that's going to do it for us tonight.

00:56:37.000 That is going to do it for us on America First tonight.

00:56:40.000 And it's a crazy world out there, folks.

00:56:44.000 Very dark times. 1.00

00:56:45.000 But if we're strong, if we believe in God, if we hate evil, we will bring these bastards. 0.99

00:56:50.000 To justice. 1.00

00:56:51.000 We will send them to hell. 1.00

00:56:52.000 But pretty hardcore note there on America First. 0.99

00:57:28.000 Me and Nick, or rather, Laura Loomer and me, Laura Loomer and I, Laura and Nick, battling it out.

00:57:34.000 It's not really a debate.

00:57:35.000 It's going to be more like a discussion, but it'll be a good time.
