America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Syria Strike Redux | America First Ep. 141

00:00:01.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:02.000 We're watching America First.

00:00:03.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:09.000 Lots going on, lots of things happening in the Middle East.

00:00:15.000 Always in the Middle East, always a great time with our closest ally and all kinds of other things.

00:00:22.000 Sorry about being a little bit late.

00:00:24.000 Technical difficulties.

00:00:27.000 It's always right before you start streaming that Restream forgets your password and Facebook.

00:00:33.000 You know, I try to log into my Facebook to go live, and it's just telling me, yeah, we can't do that.

00:00:39.000 I go in like Facebook live stream, start live stream, error, no live streaming available.

00:00:44.000 It's like you pay all this money, you do it a certain way, and it's like, hey, I'd like to stream now.

00:00:49.000 Sorry, can't do it.

00:00:51.000 Can't.

00:00:51.000 Why?

00:00:52.000 Just can't.

00:00:53.000 It's not happening today.

00:00:54.000 Well, can I like figure out a setting?

00:00:56.000 No, just we're not doing it today.

00:00:58.000 So, but we are here, we're here now, and we're excited for the big show.

00:01:02.000 I know everybody's just been.

00:01:04.000 Dying to hear my hot take on Syria because here we are again.

00:01:09.000 I have to say, I have to say, people know, people who are not strangers to this show know that I'm always a defender of the president, that I always will defend the president, that I always will give him the benefit of the doubt, that I trust the president immensely.

00:01:25.000 I mean, I've really invested a lot in the personal integrity and character of the president, and not for no reason.

00:01:33.000 You know, I have good reason to do this.

00:01:36.000 And so, when we see these various examples in January, when he said he would make a deal for DACA in exchange for $1.6 billion, he actually said in January he stated his intent to do a deal for DACA in exchange for the wall funding we got in the omnibus bill.

00:01:54.000 Back in January, he said, I'll give DACA for $1.5 billion on fence repairs.

00:02:00.000 And I said, No, watch.

00:02:02.000 Watch.

00:02:02.000 You'll see what happens.

00:02:03.000 He won't give DACA up for that.

00:02:05.000 It's all a ruse.

00:02:06.000 It turned out it was.

00:02:07.000 The omnibus bill, you know, he went out there, compromised on the wall.

00:02:11.000 He gave everything the Democrats wanted.

00:02:14.000 He gave everything the House Republicans wanted.

00:02:16.000 No money for the wall.

00:02:17.000 We said, okay, maybe that was a strategic miscalculation and on and on and on. 0.98

00:02:22.000 But I must say, even in this case, I think there's a rhyme and reason to what's going on in Syria right now. 0.77

00:02:30.000 I have to say, it's getting very exhausting.

00:02:33.000 It's getting very difficult.

00:02:35.000 We are facing an uphill battle.

00:02:38.000 In the midterms in 2018, where if we lose 24 House seats to the Democrats, only 24 out of what, 435?

00:02:47.000 I don't even know the number.

00:02:48.000 Really, it's 435?

00:02:51.000 I got to go back and take civics again.

00:02:54.000 Then we lose the House, right?

00:02:56.000 We lose two seats, we lose the Senate.

00:02:58.000 We're facing an uphill battle.

00:02:59.000 We've seen in just about every special election since the Alabama special Senate election, you could go back to the Virginia special elections before that.

00:03:08.000 In every primary so far in 2018, We're facing an enthusiasm gap.

00:03:13.000 And at the time when President Trump should be stacking our candidates and stacking our bench, you know, whatever you want to call it, with really solid red meat for the base, really solid policy, really solid action that is not contestable, that is not like nobody has to call the White House and say, hey, you know, big head, what's going on?

00:03:34.000 We elected you to not do these things, and here you are doing all the things you said you wouldn't.

00:03:40.000 So I will say, I will preface the show by saying, I hear you.

00:03:44.000 I'm right there with you.

00:03:46.000 Well, I don't believe, and spoiler alert, well, I don't believe what we'll see in the next 24 hours will constitute the beginning of a ground war in Syria led by the United States.

00:03:58.000 And while I think there's a rhyme and reason to what's going on here, I will say I'm getting very tired of having to be on the defensive every other week.

00:04:06.000 Shouldn't be like this.

00:04:08.000 It should not be like this.

00:04:09.000 When we're facing this kind of uphill battle, this enthusiasm gap, where the Democrats are turning out in every special election, in every primary election, in early voting, in voter registration, In candidates running, they're hitting record numbers.

00:04:23.000 We cannot be in a position where Trump, you know, through some machination, appears to be betraying his base on core issues.

00:04:32.000 It would be one thing if he went back on, I don't know, the EPA.

00:04:37.000 It would be one thing if he went back on a promise about transportation.

00:04:41.000 But he's going back on immigration and going back, or, you know, he appears to.

00:04:47.000 I think there's reasons behind it, but there's this appearance that he goes back on immigration.

00:04:51.000 And foreign policy.

00:04:52.000 It's very difficult, the position he's put us in.

00:04:55.000 Now, that said, where are we right now with Syria?

00:04:58.000 What am I even talking about for the people living under a rock who don't watch the news, who've been maybe they've been in the gym five times a day, you know, maybe they've been, you know, watching anime.

00:05:09.000 Who knows?

00:05:09.000 Maybe they're in their bed.

00:05:10.000 They weigh 400 pounds, right?

00:05:12.000 But what are we even talking about?

00:05:14.000 We're talking about two days ago a big alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, which is a suburb of.

00:05:23.000 Damascus.

00:05:23.000 And I love how rich it is.

00:05:25.000 Doesn't it tell you something about American foreign policy?

00:05:29.000 Doesn't it really tell you something that we, the sovereign American people, under siege by immigration, both legal and illegal, under siege by an opioid epidemic, under siege by crime and gangs and health care through the roof and on and on?

00:05:46.000 Isn't it really something that the average ordinary American has to concern ourselves with far away suburbs of far away countries and capitals that nobody could?

00:05:57.000 Put on a map, nobody could tell you what goes on there, what ethnicity they are, what religion they practice.

00:06:02.000 I mean, in this case, you could say, you know, maybe a person could reasonably guess Arab, Muslim, but, you know, Syria is a complicated picture.

00:06:10.000 So there was a, but, you know, we're going to have to reel it in if we want to lay out the facts, because there's a lot to say about it.

00:06:16.000 But so there was a chemical weapons attack two days ago in this suburb of Damascus.

00:06:23.000 And this has been one of the biggest, you know, it's tough because allegedly 42 people died in this chemical weapons attack.

00:06:31.000 And we saw this exactly one year ago yesterday, April 7th, 2017.

00:06:36.000 There was a Tomahawk missile strike by the United States against an airfield in Homs in response to, and I just got some kind of a sound notification.

00:06:46.000 I don't know what that was all about.

00:06:48.000 But there was, exactly a year ago yesterday, there was a 59 Tomahawk missile airstrike against an airfield in Homs, which allegedly launched a similar chemical weapons attack last year. 0.61

00:07:01.000 And they did it again.

00:07:02.000 This year, chemical weapons attack, 42 people killed.

00:07:06.000 And you have to understand it in the broader context of the Syrian civil war.

00:07:11.000 Assad primarily has been fighting against rebels in Syria.

00:07:15.000 People make it out that it's about ISIS.

00:07:18.000 We're in there for ISIS.

00:07:19.000 Russia is helping them fight ISIS in the region. 0.94

00:07:23.000 And that's true to an extent that you have Islamist extremists. 0.94

00:07:27.000 Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to oversimplify.

00:07:29.000 There are many factions in Syria.

00:07:32.000 There's the Kurds, there's the Al Nusra Front, there's Al Qaeda, there's ISIS.

00:07:37.000 And more broadly, however, the main conflict in Syria, which broke out in 2011, which started the Syrian civil war, was between the Assad government in Damascus, the sovereign government, hasn't changed since the beginning of the war, and these anti government rebels in various flags, stripes, colors, whatever.

00:07:58.000 And so this is one of the biggest victories in the last week.

00:08:01.000 That he's consolidated control of East Ghouta, which is a region in Damascus, one of the last regions near Damascus, which has been controlled by rebels.

00:08:10.000 One of the biggest victories in this civil war by pro government forces since we took Aleppo in 2016.

00:08:17.000 And so the chemical weapons, the Pentagon says, and the UN says, it fits into this broader strategy of Assad that he's been trying to starve the rebels, he's been trying to bleed the rebels out, essentially.

00:08:30.000 And so, and by the way, I predicted this for months.

00:08:33.000 They talked about the humanitarian disaster in East Ghouta, about how Assad was shelling hospitals and schools, and there were these civilian casualties.

00:08:42.000 And look at the pictures of dead kids.

00:08:44.000 We heard this throughout February about just regular, you know, just standard humanitarian issues in East Ghouta.

00:08:51.000 And I said last month, I said, you'll see something very similar to what we saw last year, just based on what we're seeing in the media.

00:08:58.000 And so you also have to understand the timing of the chemical weapons attack here.

00:09:02.000 What were we just discussing last week?

00:09:06.000 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I believe we covered on the show.

00:09:09.000 President Trump announced his intention to withdraw American forces from Syria.

00:09:15.000 He said it once, he said it twice, he tripled down on it.

00:09:18.000 There were all kinds of reports in the Hill and the Washington Post that he was fighting with his military advisors and the Pentagon and the DOD and the State Department, his foreign allies, like our closest one, Israel, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, about whether or not we should pull our troops out, whether or not we should stay in.

00:09:37.000 And this was very public.

00:09:38.000 This was a very interesting thing.

00:09:40.000 I don't think ever before we've seen this kind of thing where President Trump said, We've defeated ISIS.

00:09:45.000 They only have 5% of the territory that they had when they initially started.

00:09:51.000 And the job is done.

00:09:52.000 Let's bring our troops home very quickly.

00:09:54.000 They ended up resolving, and it was very contradictory in terms of the president, certain messages from the president's loyalists said that we would pull our troops out something in like six months.

00:10:06.000 We would finish eradicating ISIS.

00:10:08.000 And then the timetable would look something like six months, and then we would pull out of Syria.

00:10:13.000 We have about 2,000 to 2,500 boots on the ground in Syria right now, operating mostly with the Kurds in northeastern Syria. 0.56

00:10:21.000 But then from the military establishment, from the Defense Department, from the Pentagon, we heard another message, and from Nikki Haley, our favorite Indian neocon from the UN.

00:10:31.000 She and the DOD and the Pentagon said basically, there are no plans to get out of Syria anytime soon, and we're basically just going to remain there.

00:10:40.000 And of course, President Trump, for whatever reason, I don't know if he was persuaded.

00:10:43.000 Convinced there was some other form of pressure, but by the end of the week, last week, he said basically, I concede to Saudi Arabia, to Israel, to the military industrial complex, we'll remain in Syria.

00:10:56.000 And then, conveniently, we see a chemical weapons attack. 0.86

00:11:01.000 And notice the timing of it Assad has just won the biggest victory since 2016.

00:11:07.000 He's routed the last remaining rebel stronghold in his capital, he's on his way to winning the civil war, just like last year.

00:11:14.000 He's on the way, slowly but surely, on the march to consolidating control of his country.

00:11:19.000 He's been at war for seven years now.

00:11:22.000 The first few years didn't go very well.

00:11:24.000 It was very scary, a very scary time for him and the presidential family because it was looking like these savages, these moderate rebels, were going to take over the country.

00:11:34.000 But gradually, slowly but surely, with the help of Russian airstrikes, the help of Iranian militiamen and boots on the ground, he was able to gradually regain control of the country. 0.78

00:11:45.000 By 2016, it looked like he'd won it unequivocally. 0.58

00:11:48.000 And then in 2017, weirdly enough, he uses chemical weapons.

00:11:51.000 The one thing, the one red line, That the biggest hyperpower in the history of the world had with him.

00:11:58.000 And if you recall, I have a great memory of this.

00:12:01.000 I have such a good memory of this.

00:12:04.000 A week before the chemical weapons attack last year, April 2017, a week before the chemical weapons attack, I believe the chemical weapons attack in 2017 was on a Tuesday.

00:12:16.000 The airstrike was on a Thursday.

00:12:18.000 The chemical weapons attack was on a Tuesday.

00:12:21.000 The preceding Friday of that week, And I didn't even look into this before because my memory is so good.

00:12:27.000 Nikki Haley said at the United Nations that our role in Syria is not to depose Assad.

00:12:34.000 She made it clear that although the express policy of the shadow government of the Obama administration for eight years and assumingly into the Trump administration had been to remove Assad, to defeat ISIS, but also to remove Assad, Nikki Haley and the Defense Department and the State Department made it clear the weekend before the alleged chemical weapons attack that our job was not to get rid of Assad.

00:13:00.000 Four days later, chemical weapons attack.

00:13:02.000 And that was the one thing that President Trump said they could not do.

00:13:06.000 That was the one bridge they could not cross without inviting some kind of American response.

00:13:11.000 That happened last year.

00:13:13.000 And so basically, you know, think of the logic here.

00:13:13.000 Remember?

00:13:15.000 This was in 2017.

00:13:18.000 Assad has been fighting this brutal civil war all along.

00:13:21.000 The biggest threat is that he's under the gun of the United States.

00:13:25.000 If he makes a wrong move, if he does something wrong, he's on his way to winning the country.

00:13:29.000 But if he takes a wrong step, the United States is knocking on his doorstep.

00:13:33.000 They completely undo all the gains he's made.

00:13:35.000 Does he want to do that?

00:13:36.000 Probably not.

00:13:37.000 He's on his way to winning the Civil War.

00:13:39.000 The United States just announces their stated policy is now, actually, we have no problem.

00:13:44.000 Well, not that we don't have a problem with Assad, but our goal is not to remove Assad.

00:13:47.000 We're there to do this one thing. 0.57

00:13:50.000 Assad can win the Civil War. 0.82

00:13:51.000 This is not really our first priority anymore.

00:13:54.000 So what's the first thing he does after he hears that?

00:13:56.000 I'll do the one thing that'll invite the United States back into the conflict.

00:14:00.000 Fast forward one year later.

00:14:03.000 Here we are again. 0.88

00:14:04.000 Bashar al Assad, he's just won the biggest victory since 2016.

00:14:08.000 He's on the way to winning the civil war.

00:14:10.000 The United States is about to pull out.

00:14:13.000 We're in great shape in Syria.

00:14:15.000 And so, what does he do then after Trump says we're going to pull out?

00:14:18.000 We don't really care.

00:14:19.000 This isn't our war. 0.95

00:14:20.000 We're passing it off to Saudi Arabia.

00:14:22.000 Oh, yeah.

00:14:23.000 Once again, he does the one thing, the only thing, the one thing that President Trump said he couldn't do.

00:14:32.000 The only thing that President Trump said merited a response in the first place.

00:14:36.000 The only thing.

00:14:37.000 That got President Trump to launch a missile strike last year.

00:14:41.000 Yeah, seems legit.

00:14:43.000 Seems totally, yeah, that seems about right. 0.62

00:14:46.000 If you're President Bashar al Assad, that's the decision you're going to make.

00:14:50.000 We're on the way to winning the civil war.

00:14:52.000 Trump once again announces his intention to pull troops out.

00:14:55.000 I can finally consolidate control of my country.

00:14:59.000 So I'm going to do the one thing that brought the U.S. back into the fight last year.

00:15:02.000 The only thing he promises will prolong our engagement in the region.

00:15:06.000 Yeah, great idea.

00:15:08.000 And so right away, we get into the big problem with this attack.

00:15:11.000 Which is the fact that it's not, there is no confirmation, there is no verification that this even happened.

00:15:18.000 Who was responsible?

00:15:19.000 To what extent tertiary powers were involved.

00:15:23.000 Not only does the United States come right out of the gate on two days ago on Saturday, not only do we come right out of the gate and say, This is a terrible attack. 0.99

00:15:34.000 Assad is an animal. 1.00

00:15:36.000 We must strike him. 1.00

00:15:38.000 There must be. 0.96

00:15:38.000 You know, not only do we go on all this stuff, but then we say, And not only do we know this attack happened, not only do we know Assad is responsible, but then they make the leap. 0.96

00:15:50.000 Here's where you really got to be skeptical.

00:15:52.000 Then they make the leap that actually, you know, we already know that Assad did it, but actually Russia is responsible.

00:16:00.000 And actually Iran is also responsible. 0.61

00:16:03.000 Wait a minute. 0.96

00:16:04.000 It's been 48 hours.

00:16:06.000 Do we, the entire, where the chemical weapons attack happened, is surrounded by pro government forces.

00:16:14.000 You can't get an American inspector, investigator, any Western investigator, inspector, or whatever you want to call it in there.

00:16:22.000 The only people in there are these white helmets, these blue helmets, these UN people.

00:16:27.000 There's no chance that you could independently corroborate that this even happened within a week, let alone within 24 hours of the attack.

00:16:37.000 And not only that, but then that's going to serve as the basis of this bellicose rhetoric, not only against Syria, but against Russia.

00:16:44.000 Is that really the best idea?

00:16:46.000 This president runs his campaign on we're not going to antagonize Russia, we're going to seek rapprochement with Russia, we have similar interests.

00:16:56.000 And he's blaming him for a chemical weapons attack that we don't even know happened.

00:17:00.000 The UN announced this evening that they could not confirm that a chemical weapons attack even happened.

00:17:07.000 And you notice that the way they say it happens is like, well, people, they've reported symptoms that are somewhat similar to what would happen if a chemical weapons attack occurred.

00:17:17.000 Yeah, I'm sorry, that's really not going to cut it.

00:17:20.000 If we're going to go to war in Syria, or we're going to strike Syria, and understand the problem here is not a limited strike in Syria at this point.

00:17:29.000 The problem this year is the potential for escalation with Russia. 0.52

00:17:34.000 Last year, we got away with it.

00:17:36.000 Last year, we struck Syria with impunity. 0.91

00:17:39.000 I believe it was 59 Tomahawk missiles on that airfield, the Noms, ended up being totally inconsequential. 0.92

00:17:45.000 In fact, that airfield, even tactically speaking, was inconsequential.

00:17:49.000 That airfield we struck last year was operational 24 hours after the strike.

00:17:53.000 If you look at the infrastructure that was hit last year, we didn't even hit the runways because the runways are much more difficult to repair.

00:18:00.000 It's a much, I guess, deeper strike.

00:18:03.000 Such that it was, I think that was to demonstrate that it was merely a gesture.

00:18:08.000 Because we didn't even hit the hard infrastructure that would have really made it inoperable.

00:18:12.000 So tactically, there was no difference.

00:18:14.000 Russia didn't retaliate.

00:18:15.000 The communications, I believe, for rules of engagement went offline for about a minute, but then they came back on later.

00:18:21.000 This time, we don't have that luxury.

00:18:23.000 Russia is monitoring the situation closely.

00:18:26.000 Syria is going to not take kindly to this.

00:18:29.000 Iran, it's going to impact our diplomacy with them with the Iran deal, and on and on.

00:18:34.000 And so that's the risk here is escalation, but we don't even know.

00:18:38.000 If there was a chemical weapons attack. 0.92

00:18:39.000 The big development last night, and we heard President Trump who said, you know, Assad's an animal.

00:18:44.000 We vow a strong response.

00:18:46.000 We'll work with French President Macron to coordinate a strong response.

00:18:50.000 Now, last night is where things started to fall off the rails.

00:18:53.000 This is the part where things got a little bit confusing.

00:18:57.000 So, last night, we hear reports of bombs dropping in Syria.

00:19:00.000 And, of course, before the bombs even finish dropping, black pillars abound on Twitter.

00:19:06.000 I wonder what Nick Fuentes has got to say about this. 0.97

00:19:09.000 It's World War III.

00:19:10.000 Trump's a neocon. 0.90

00:19:11.000 Trump's a zyokok. 1.00

00:19:12.000 He's a shell. 0.97

00:19:13.000 You know, already before we even figure out what's happening, and I say, hey, everybody, why don't we wait?

00:19:19.000 We'll see what actually happened.

00:19:21.000 We'll wait and see who's responsible, the scope of the attack, what the response is before we make any kind of conclusions. 0.99

00:19:28.000 No, you're a cuck. 0.98

00:19:29.000 You're okay, Bill Mitchell. 0.98

00:19:30.000 You want to wait and see what happens?

00:19:32.000 Yeah, nice four dimensional chess.

00:19:34.000 Turns out, after a lot of confusion, reports of joint airstrikes, missile strikes, all kinds of different theories, it turns out the strike that we saw last night was Israel.

00:19:48.000 Israel went in, and get this, because I don't know if a lot of people were all over the initial reports of the strike when it implicated the president.

00:19:56.000 When it implicated Israel, yeah, well, let's go find something else to do.

00:20:00.000 The actual strike that Israel conducted over Syria last night, it was they delivered their warplanes, or rather, they sent their warplanes.

00:20:09.000 Israel sent their warplanes into Lebanon.

00:20:12.000 So Israel violated Lebanese airspace.

00:20:14.000 They flew their planes into Lebanon, and from Lebanon, the Israeli airplanes launched eight guided cruise missiles.

00:20:21.000 Into Syria, and then the warplanes returned to Israel.

00:20:25.000 So the warplanes never entered Syrian airspace.

00:20:27.000 They went into Lebanon.

00:20:28.000 They launched guided missiles.

00:20:30.000 And the eight guided missiles that were launched in Syria number one, five of them were shot down.

00:20:35.000 Only three of them hit their target.

00:20:37.000 And the target that they were aiming at was the T4 Syrian military airfield, T4 military base.

00:20:46.000 The T4 military base had nothing to do with the chemical weapons attack two days ago.

00:20:51.000 Which is different from last year.

00:20:52.000 Last year, the United States missile strike against the airfield in Homs was the airfield from which the chemical weapons attack allegedly originated.

00:21:02.000 This airstrike by the Israelis yesterday was on a base that had nothing to do with the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma.

00:21:10.000 And actually, Israel struck that same military base a month ago in February, or two months ago in February, after an Iranian drone flew from that base and violated Israeli airspace.

00:21:22.000 If you remember that, that was two months ago.

00:21:24.000 Israel responded by attacking that base, bombing a dozen other bases, and then they came back and bombed another dozen bases.

00:21:31.000 So, this is more provocation from Israel.

00:21:34.000 I guess it has nothing to do with the chemical weapons attack.

00:21:37.000 They then turned around and bombed northern Gaza, which is on the other side of Israel, Syria is to the north of Israel.

00:21:44.000 Gaza is southwest in Israel.

00:21:48.000 And so, very confusing then, right?

00:21:50.000 Because suddenly now we don't really know what's going on.

00:21:53.000 The relevant questions, which nobody seems to be able to answer, is.

00:21:56.000 What was Israel's intention here?

00:21:58.000 Did Israel even do it?

00:21:59.000 It's unconfirmed.

00:22:00.000 Russia and the United States believe Israel is behind it, but it's not confirmed.

00:22:04.000 And did Israel inform the United States that they were going to do this beforehand?

00:22:09.000 Because it doesn't strike me like they did aware the United States of this strike.

00:22:15.000 Because understand that President Trump has promised some kind of a response to the chemical weapons attack.

00:22:21.000 After the Israeli airstrike, you understand things change very dramatically.

00:22:25.000 Where now any kind of tactical strike that the United States would deliver against Syria.

00:22:30.000 The effect is lessened.

00:22:32.000 If Israel does a strike and the United States does a strike that's like a little bit, you know, maybe it's the same or a little bit worse, it doesn't have the same effect as if the United States just attacked Syria. 0.83

00:22:43.000 If we did 59 cruise missiles out of a clear blue sky, well, that's, you know, Syria should watch out. 0.64

00:22:50.000 Russia, Iran, Syria are on notice.

00:22:52.000 That's a market escalation from this kind of quiet period between last year and this year.

00:22:58.000 If Israel does a strike and then we do a strike that's kind of similar, it's like, eh.

00:23:03.000 It doesn't have that much of an effect.

00:23:04.000 So maybe that inspires the president and the Pentagon to up their game.

00:23:08.000 Maybe it draws them into some kind of a bigger strike, a bigger engagement.

00:23:12.000 Secondly, and the most important thing is that now Russia and Syria are on high alert.

00:23:18.000 If the president and the United States did a strike last night, we had the element to surprise, we catch them off guard, probably not so much of a risk for escalation, probably not a big risk for retaliation.

00:23:30.000 Now that Israel's basically blown our cover and said, yeah, it's all out war on Syria, we're just going to attack Syria, now Russia's on high alert.

00:23:38.000 And now there are reports that they're harassing our warships, they're patrolling the coastline of Syria, they're all over the place.

00:23:45.000 And so Russia and Syria are on high alert.

00:23:48.000 If the United States is to even do a surgical, tactical, whatever you want to call it, some kind of limited strike, this is going to severely undercut, or rather raise the risk or potential that Russia could respond, that Russia could escalate.

00:24:02.000 And that's a big problem.

00:24:03.000 So that leads us to where we are today, which is what is the United States going to do?

00:24:10.000 Unfortunately, we're in a position where today our favorite neocon, John Bolton, just got sworn into office as the chief.

00:24:18.000 National Security Advisor, the man who never met a war he didn't love.

00:24:22.000 Now, President Trump did say that, or rather, reports came out that President Trump made him promise he wouldn't start any new wars.

00:24:30.000 I guess, kind of a tongue in cheek way to say that he acknowledges Bolton's reputation, that he's favored war with Korea, war with Iran, war with Syria, war with, you know, every country, you know, he's like John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

00:24:44.000 So, John Bolton gets sworn in.

00:24:46.000 President Trump says he vows that he'll make a decision on whether or not to strike.

00:24:51.000 Syria in the next 24 to 48 hours, probably by the end of the evening.

00:24:55.000 He said there'd be a strong response.

00:24:57.000 There's reports that France and Britain could also be involved, so we'll see what happens there.

00:25:02.000 I think maybe a white pill here about the strike is some reports that we heard, and these are unconfirmed, by the way.

00:25:10.000 Everything's kind of, we're in the fog of war here, so it's a little bit tough to say.

00:25:14.000 I know it is fun.

00:25:16.000 I shouldn't say it's fun, but in the heat of like breaking news, things are happening, it's kind of exciting to say, like, You know, monitor all the different activity and play world reporter, play foreign affairs expert.

00:25:28.000 But things are unconfirmed.

00:25:30.000 It's hard to say what's really happening.

00:25:32.000 There is an unconfirmed report from CNN Turkey which says that the U.S. Donald Cook destroyer left Cyprus's Larnica, and I don't know how to pronounce that, if I'm pronouncing that right or not, but they left Cyprus's port and they landed near Syrian territorial waters.

00:25:48.000 It was claimed that the missile destroyer, class Donald Cook, reached Talus 100 kilometers.

00:25:55.000 Or rather, 100 kilometers away from the TARDIS military base in Syria and had 60 Tomahawk fuses on board.

00:26:03.000 So essentially, we're seeing something very similar to last year, if this is true, which is that there's a single missile cruiser, a single destroyer that is a little bit off the coastal waters of Syria.

00:26:16.000 They've got about the same amount of missiles as last year.

00:26:20.000 And like I said, the white pill here is that according to Strategic Forum and their forecast of where naval ships are in the world, This is the only major naval ship in the area.

00:26:32.000 There's no carrier strike group.

00:26:35.000 There's no other kind of major naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean.

00:26:39.000 This is about it in terms of what's deployed right now.

00:26:42.000 So, if that's the case, if this is only one destroyer, I don't think we have a major reason to worry.

00:26:47.000 And to get into the analysis, to get into the forecast of what could happen, I would say that we have to look at the broader context here.

00:26:55.000 Number one, this is not how a war starts.

00:26:58.000 What was the prelude to Iraq?

00:27:00.000 Contrary to what everybody seems to be an expert on who's older than me, you weren't alive when I was.

00:27:05.000 This is just like Iraq 2003.

00:27:07.000 The Iraq War in 2003 did not begin with a president who was reluctant just a week before to send troops or additional forces into the region, actually, wanted to pull people out.

00:27:18.000 It did not start with the period where the United States was not conducting any significant airstrikes.

00:27:24.000 You have to look at the period between 1991 and 2003, between the Persian Gulf War and the Iraqi Freedom War in 2003.

00:27:34.000 And we were conducting dozens of airstrikes every day.

00:27:37.000 It varied from the Persian Gulf War, obviously, in 2003.

00:27:40.000 Until 2003.

00:27:41.000 But we were seeing, on average, many airstrikes every day, every year for a good decade before we invaded Iraq.

00:27:49.000 We saw for months the Pentagon, the president selling the American people, building the case for a war in Syria.

00:27:56.000 We saw mobilization.

00:27:57.000 We don't see that in Syria.

00:27:59.000 And this is just like last year.

00:28:01.000 You know, we saw a limited airstrike, and people said, by June 1st, there'll be 100,000 boots on the ground in Syria.

00:28:08.000 But the numbers just didn't add up.

00:28:10.000 An invasion does not start with no naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean.

00:28:14.000 It does not start when we have Turkey in the north, when we have Russia and Iran in the country.

00:28:19.000 I mean, the kind of risks associated with that just, it would not fly.

00:28:24.000 I think any, even the most hardened war hawk would be hesitant to go to war in a country where Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, and all kinds of other sovereign actors are operating pretty significantly.

00:28:39.000 That's number one.

00:28:40.000 Number two, you look at the military presence, it just isn't significant enough where it would warrant that.

00:28:44.000 I will say, There are some puzzling indicators in terms of Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, who's been very disruptive, who've basically seized control of the country there, consolidating his grasp on the, the, becoming the heir to the throne.

00:29:00.000 He's been making some plays.

00:29:01.000 He's been making the rounds in the United States, in Europe.

00:29:04.000 He's been making a lot of disruptive reforms, I will say.

00:29:08.000 So that's the only thing that, that maybe is worrisome.

00:29:11.000 I guess the bigger concerns here, the biggest context that we have to look at with Syria, just like with last year, is what's going on in the Pacific.

00:29:20.000 And I've said this time and time again.

00:29:23.000 President Trump looks at the entire chessboard, so to speak.

00:29:26.000 People say this is 4D chess.

00:29:27.000 This is called strategy.

00:29:29.000 This is how President Nixon governed in the 1970s.

00:29:32.000 He was really the first president, Nixon was, to utilize all regions of the world to really play a global strategy with American foreign policy, in that he played the Middle East off of Asia very frequently.

00:29:43.000 Him and Kissinger did this.

00:29:45.000 And President Trump did this last year with Syria.

00:29:48.000 You know, people said this missile strike doesn't make sense.

00:29:51.000 Why would President Trump?

00:29:52.000 Respond to a chemical weapons attack like this with such a small, innocuous strike.

00:29:57.000 60 missiles on one airfield operational within 24 hours.

00:30:02.000 I mean, you barely even punished Assad.

00:30:03.000 You barely even took out his air capability.

00:30:06.000 There was barely any effect on the ground.

00:30:08.000 Why would he do this?

00:30:09.000 And it didn't make sense if you were just looking at the Middle East.

00:30:12.000 But if you looked at the Pacific, if you looked at the diplomacy with China and with North Korea, if you looked at the fact that when the missile strike occurred last year, Xi Jinping was actually staying at Mar a Lago.

00:30:23.000 For the first ever face to face meeting between President Trump and the President of China, then it started to make sense.

00:30:30.000 Additionally, you looked at the rhetoric of the President last year, where he had a press conference with the Jordanian king.

00:30:36.000 And again, this is just off the top of my head, great memory.

00:30:39.000 He had a press conference with the Jordanian king following the chemical weapons attack.

00:30:44.000 And if you remember, during that press conference, during every statement that was made in the buildup to the missile strike, all the rhetoric was focused on North Korea.

00:30:52.000 It was focused on Syria, but it was also rogue states.

00:30:56.000 With weapons of mass destruction. 0.90

00:30:57.000 It was always about North Korea.

00:30:59.000 Similarly, what's the context of this?

00:31:02.000 If there is a strike, if there is any kind of retaliation, what's the context?

00:31:07.000 In a few weeks, either in April or in May, President Trump will sit down for the first face to face meeting in U.S. history between the American head of state and the North Korean head of state, and that's either in May or April.

00:31:21.000 Now, think to yourself two things about this.

00:31:23.000 Number one, our ability to leverage North Korea to denuclearize in these peace talks, and it's really these peace talks or it's war.

00:31:32.000 It's peace talks with North Korea, or they first strike out of desperation on Guam or the Philippines or God knows where else, or we have to first strike.

00:31:41.000 So it's peace talks, or there's war. 0.88

00:31:43.000 That's going into our summit with them. 0.83

00:31:46.000 Now, our ability to have successful peace talks never usually works with North Korea, but the way that this one could be different is that we show North Korea that there is a credible threat that we will go to war on the Korean Peninsula. 0.57

00:32:00.000 Now, it behooves us, if we make a promise and we make good on a promise, That we have a credible threat to go to war in North Korea. 0.82

00:32:08.000 If we're just out there saying, you know what, we'll go to war with North Korea, I don't care, I'm a madman, I'll do whatever it takes. 0.91

00:32:15.000 Well, you know, that's words. 0.87

00:32:17.000 That's words, that's very different than action.

00:32:19.000 North Korea can say you're bluffing. 0.99

00:32:21.000 You say you're going to go to war against North Korea, you say you're a madman. 0.99

00:32:24.000 Yeah, okay. 0.99

00:32:25.000 I'll believe it when I see it.

00:32:26.000 I don't think you'll be going to war.

00:32:28.000 That'll be a very expensive war, very costly, very risky.

00:32:31.000 I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

00:32:33.000 If President Trump has a clear, And proven record that he says, I will strike, and then he strikes.

00:32:39.000 He says, This is the red line.

00:32:41.000 Syria crossed it. 0.95

00:32:42.000 I'll attack. 0.99

00:32:43.000 And then he attacks.

00:32:44.000 It's almost like taking out a loan to boost your credit score.

00:32:47.000 You know, they tell you this in consumer economics in high school you take out a loan, a small loan, you pay it back.

00:32:53.000 And the only reason you do this is to get a better credit score, to demonstrate to the banks and to whoever else that you are responsible, that you're able to pay back a loan.

00:33:01.000 In the same way, this is how foreign affairs operates.

00:33:04.000 We're building our credibility.

00:33:06.000 We're building the credibility.

00:33:08.000 That when we make a threat, we'll back it up.

00:33:10.000 And understand, in a broader global mindset for foreign policy, this is a much better and a much more non interventionist practice than anything else.

00:33:21.000 It is a small investment that pays off big dividends.

00:33:25.000 If we make small threats and we follow up in small ways, we can make big threats and not have to follow up on big wars and big strikes.

00:33:34.000 This is the Trump doctrine.

00:33:36.000 The Obama doctrine was the exact opposite.

00:33:39.000 We don't make threats, we don't follow up on them.

00:33:42.000 And then it makes it so that people are our adversaries, our rivals.

00:33:46.000 They continue to operate in a way that we don't like.

00:33:48.000 And then we're eventually forced to confront them head on.

00:33:51.000 We're forced to confront them in a way that is over the top, in a way that we don't like.

00:33:55.000 We're forced to really go full hog.

00:33:59.000 I don't think that's the expression, but we have to really go in on them.

00:34:02.000 So that's a broader thing on the Trump doctrine.

00:34:05.000 So that's number one this is a way that we demonstrate credibility to North Korea.

00:34:10.000 Number two, and this is just about why there won't be a full scale war in the context of North Korea.

00:34:15.000 Point number one is that. 0.66

00:34:17.000 It would behoove us to do a limited strike or some kind of a strike to prove credibility. 0.60

00:34:21.000 Point number two about North Korea is if these peace talks are reliant on our ability to demonstrate that we will credibly strike North Korea, to demonstrate that there's a credible threat that we will invade North Korea if things don't work out, how would that fare? 0.56

00:34:38.000 How could we reasonably threaten North Korea if we were at war in Syria at the same time?

00:34:44.000 Wouldn't that make it a lot harder to say that we would strike North Korea if we were already engaged?

00:34:49.000 In a very difficult, a very risky, a very costly and expensive war in Syria?

00:34:54.000 Because the timetable for war in Syria would be this month or next month before the peace talks.

00:34:59.000 Are we going to have a really strong hand to leverage North Korea if we sit down across from the negotiating table and we're already in a full scale conflict in Syria while we're rebuilding a depleted military?

00:35:10.000 Probably not.

00:35:11.000 Would we be better off if we had our full capability, our full attention dedicated to North Korea and we can send three carrier strike groups and we can send a massive military presence and we wouldn't get war?

00:35:22.000 We were fighting two wars at one time, or if we were engaged in Syria where we're also fighting Iran and Russia and China?

00:35:29.000 So these are just simple things to think about where we could probably set the upper and the lower bounds of what will happen.

00:35:36.000 This is just a forecast, folks.

00:35:38.000 This is not a guarantee.

00:35:39.000 This is not an assurance.

00:35:40.000 This is not based on faith or trust.

00:35:42.000 This is based on incentives.

00:35:44.000 This is based on essentially a priori reasoning.

00:35:48.000 We can reasonably understand that it is in the Trump administration's interest going into this larger foreign policy goal, which has been the focus of the administration since the inauguration.

00:35:59.000 Which is to demonstrate a credible threat to North Korea with a limited strike in Syria, like we did last year.

00:36:05.000 We make our payments to our loans. 0.67

00:36:07.000 We did our promise and our follow through last year.

00:36:10.000 We renew it this year.

00:36:12.000 We're set for May. 0.96

00:36:13.000 And we can credibly threaten North Korea with war. 0.71

00:36:16.000 And they will give in to our demands and they will say, we will denuclearize and give you our nuclear arsenal because otherwise we're all going to die. 0.65

00:36:24.000 We're all going to hell very quickly.

00:36:26.000 We set the upper bound by saying that if we're going into North Korean negotiations and we have to demonstrate this credible threat, We can't have a big war going on at the same time.

00:36:35.000 So, probably any kind of major intervention or any intervention that would lead to escalation, any big engagement that would lead to something that could get out of control or turn into something that would occupy a lot of our resources and attention, we probably wouldn't be wise to do because that would not leave us with a strong negotiating hand in May when we sit down with North Korea.

00:36:57.000 So, I think that's a good way to set the upper and lower bounds there.

00:37:01.000 The broader, and this is the Forecast about what will happen to get into a little bit of the philosophy of it because we have to spend some time on this is what's happening, but what ought to be happening?

00:37:12.000 Let's take a step back and look at the whole situation.

00:37:16.000 This is a false flag by the deep state.

00:37:18.000 The chemical weapons attack is a lie.

00:37:21.000 Don't believe for one second that we care about establishing independently that there was a chemical weapons attack and Russia was responsible.

00:37:29.000 The deep state, the defense department, the Pentagon, the intelligence community, the foreign lobbying network in the country, they have conspired.

00:37:38.000 To deceive the American people, to lie to you.

00:37:41.000 They conspired with the mainstream media to push a bogus atrocity, to come up with a bogus casus belli, a bogus cause of war, to drag us back into Syria, to keep us there indefinitely.

00:37:53.000 They don't even care anymore that it's convincing.

00:37:56.000 It's a formality at this point.

00:37:58.000 They don't even care that you're convinced that Assad is committing atrocities and you should care about that.

00:38:03.000 They don't care to establish that anymore.

00:38:05.000 The timeline, the turnaround is so quick on some convoluted, contrived casus belli and an actual strike.

00:38:13.000 It's a formality at this point.

00:38:15.000 They hate you.

00:38:16.000 They have contempt for you. 1.00

00:38:17.000 They think you're stupid. 1.00

00:38:18.000 They think, let's throw up the, okay, you know the drill. 1.00

00:38:21.000 Pictures of dead kids, chemical weapons this time, whatever.

00:38:26.000 Now it's time for war in Syria. 0.99

00:38:27.000 Now it's time for your brothers and sisters to die in Syria. 0.83

00:38:30.000 It's time for another trillion dollar war. 0.98

00:38:32.000 That's number one. 0.98

00:38:33.000 They're liars. 0.98

00:38:34.000 Number two, think about the chemical weapons attack. 0.97

00:38:37.000 The reason we're at war in Syria, the stated reason by the Pentagon and by the administration, It's not about pipelines.

00:38:44.000 It's not about American interests.

00:38:47.000 It's not even about democracy.

00:38:49.000 It's about dead kids, animal assaults committing terrible human rights atrocities.

00:38:56.000 Do you know what's happening?

00:38:57.000 Do you know what's happening just a little bit south of Syria?

00:39:00.000 The actual worst humanitarian disaster in the world, which is the civil war in Yemen.

00:39:06.000 And you'll never hear about that one. 0.71

00:39:08.000 The civil war in Yemen, which has been caused by Iran and Saudi Arabia, which the United States has been complicit in, is responsible for the actual worst humanitarian disaster in the world, where there is famine, where there is the worst cholera outbreak in world history, where the casualty rate is through the roof for civilians. 0.92

00:39:27.000 There's no end in sight. 0.93

00:39:28.000 And we're complicit in it.

00:39:29.000 We refuel. 0.56

00:39:30.000 The Saudi planes that are bombing civilians there, that are gradually starving that country. 0.98

00:39:36.000 So, number one, they lie. 0.91

00:39:38.000 Number one, they don't even, it's just a slap in the face.

00:39:41.000 It's a backhand. 1.00

00:39:42.000 Yeah, shut up, dead kids. 1.00

00:39:43.000 You'll take another war. 1.00

00:39:45.000 And then, number two, the brazen hypocrisy that we're saying we're going to go to war because of, you know, oh, humanitarian disaster.

00:39:53.000 And the worst one in the world is one that we're actively supporting.

00:39:57.000 We're selling them the planes for it.

00:39:59.000 We're refueling the planes that are dropping the bombs.

00:40:03.000 We're selling them the guns, the tanks.

00:40:05.000 Everything necessary. 0.86

00:40:07.000 So you have the brazen hypocrisy of it.

00:40:09.000 So I guess the ultimate point here, which needs to be driven home, is that we do not live in a sovereign country, or rather, we are no longer sovereign in the country.

00:40:20.000 The people are not sovereign.

00:40:21.000 The civilian government, which is elected every four years, is not sovereign.

00:40:26.000 President Trump is not in charge, never has been.

00:40:29.000 Barack Obama is not in charge.

00:40:31.000 George Bush is not in charge.

00:40:33.000 The administration changes, the government stays the same.

00:40:36.000 It's the same people at the Pentagon.

00:40:38.000 It's the same people at the DOD.

00:40:39.000 The same people at the State Department.

00:40:41.000 The same people in the intelligence community.

00:40:43.000 That's the CIA, the FBI, the NSA.

00:40:46.000 They all just get rotated around and they promote within.

00:40:49.000 And they're in control here.

00:40:50.000 And they don't even care to hide it anymore.

00:40:53.000 So that's the takeaway.

00:40:55.000 President Trump said he wants to get us out.

00:40:57.000 This is not a war that he wants.

00:40:59.000 For whatever reason, he might not be able to get us out.

00:41:04.000 I don't know if they have a gun to his head.

00:41:05.000 I don't know if it's a conspiracy.

00:41:07.000 I don't know what's going on.

00:41:09.000 And it looks like we have a note here from.

00:41:15.000 I don't know, is this on a paper plate?

00:41:16.000 Get rid of your Twitch.

00:41:18.000 What is this?

00:41:19.000 All kinds of crazy pictures.

00:41:22.000 All right.

00:41:23.000 Well, I can't really do anything about that, moderator.

00:41:23.000 Epic.

00:41:27.000 I guess there's some rambunctious stuff going on in the Twitch chat, but there's nothing we can do about that.

00:41:32.000 We're trying to go to war against the deep state, and I got my producer passing paper plates to me about emoticons in the Twitch chat.

00:41:39.000 Can we try and stay focused for a little bit, right? 0.93

00:41:42.000 I'm going to have to get a new, you know, say what you will about Jewish producers. 0.94

00:41:46.000 I have to say, they do it right. 1.00

00:41:47.000 You know, maybe we'll have to switch over.

00:41:50.000 We will have to stop talking about Israel, but we will upgrade the production quality a little bit. 0.97

00:41:56.000 But, I mean, that's really the moral case here.

00:41:59.000 There's just no bones about it anymore.

00:42:01.000 We live in an occupied government, we live in a government that's controlled by foreign interests.

00:42:07.000 And they don't even have to be totally foreign.

00:42:09.000 They're in our country, but they're transnational. 0.58

00:42:11.000 They're transnational, they're rootless.

00:42:14.000 They have allegiances to the world, to world principles, world, you know, the international ideology and other countries can't have it anymore.

00:42:22.000 But we're going to be monitoring the situation.

00:42:25.000 I'll stay on for a little bit and we'll see if we see any new developments here.

00:42:29.000 But in the meantime, I'll take your questions, comments, concerns on the Super Chats and also in the Streamlabs donations and also Twitch.

00:42:38.000 So I'm going to jump over to your Super Chats for now.

00:42:40.000 We'll see what are people saying?

00:42:42.000 What are the masses saying?

00:42:43.000 You've got the high IQ expert take, but what are the unwashed masses saying?

00:42:49.000 Just joking, of course.

00:42:51.000 Krillin876 says, Nick, good job last night on Baked Alaska.

00:42:56.000 You were right on the money.

00:42:58.000 Thank you, my man.

00:42:58.000 Appreciate it.

00:43:00.000 If you guys didn't catch it, it was another Nick the Knife victory over Michael Tokes on the subject of Israel.

00:43:07.000 Froctor enthusiast, my girlfriend cheated on me. 0.93

00:43:10.000 Advice.

00:43:11.000 Oh, you know. 0.99

00:43:12.000 People who cheat should be put in the ground. 0.98

00:43:16.000 People who cheat should be put beneath the earth. 0.95

00:43:19.000 So I don't know.

00:43:21.000 To the fullest extent of the law, you know, take it into your own hands.

00:43:24.000 But at the very least, you got to dump.

00:43:26.000 Once a cheater, always a cheater.

00:43:28.000 You know, this is very topical.

00:43:29.000 We go from.

00:43:30.000 Don't you love?

00:43:31.000 That's why people love America first.

00:43:33.000 We go from, you know, CIA, shadow government. 0.99

00:43:37.000 We go from this wild Oliver Stone rant to, you know, kill people who cheat on you, right?

00:43:44.000 But nevertheless, we're here for the relationship advice as well. 1.00

00:43:48.000 You got to get rid of her. 1.00

00:43:50.000 You got to dump the skank. 1.00

00:43:52.000 Patrol that thought. 1.00

00:43:53.000 I don't know.

00:43:54.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:43:55.000 Maybe put her in a self defense situation. 1.00

00:43:57.000 Or rather, she puts you in a self defense situation.

00:43:59.000 Who knows?

00:44:00.000 Jose Antonio says.

00:44:02.000 Thoughts of changing your daily show an hour or two early so you won't compete with channels like Andy, Baked, and others?

00:44:08.000 Can't do it.

00:44:09.000 We have to fight.

00:44:10.000 We have to fight and win.

00:44:11.000 I was here first.

00:44:12.000 It's going to be my time slot.

00:44:14.000 And we'll see what happens.

00:44:16.000 Fracture enthusiast. 0.99

00:44:17.000 She already dumped me about a month ago, but didn't admit she cheated and moved in with the guy until yesterday. 1.00

00:44:22.000 Women are demons, Nick. 1.00

00:44:23.000 Take heed. 1.00

00:44:23.000 All right. 1.00

00:44:24.000 So I love the narrative.

00:44:26.000 It's like interwoven between the serious stuff.

00:44:28.000 We also have this drama of one super chatter's struggle with the female race. 0.90

00:44:36.000 Yeah, that's brutal, man. 1.00

00:44:38.000 Women tend to be evil. 1.00

00:44:39.000 They tend to be, and it's not all women, right? 1.00

00:44:43.000 But a lot of them. 1.00

00:44:44.000 Soulless creatures at times.

00:44:46.000 Men can be the same way, you have to say.

00:44:48.000 Shadows and Dust.

00:44:50.000 Nick, would it be advantageous for righties to keep the message simple?

00:44:54.000 Welfare, immigration, enforcement of law, love, the JQ, and ethno talk is pushing away support.

00:45:00.000 No.

00:45:02.000 Look, the ethno talk and the JQ talk.

00:45:06.000 These are not isolated issues.

00:45:08.000 These are part of a coherent worldview.

00:45:10.000 When we push ethnic nationalism, that's not just my pet issue.

00:45:16.000 That's not, well, I happen to care a little bit more about abortion than gun rights like the standard conservatives do.

00:45:22.000 This is a wholly different worldview that we're pushing.

00:45:25.000 It's a perennialist worldview, it's a traditionalist worldview, one that understands and one that contradicts, challenges the underlying assumption of liberalism, of modernism, Which is egalitarianism, which is that all people are equal.

00:45:41.000 So when I push ethnic nationalism, it's not like, well, you know, this is my pet issue. 0.75

00:45:46.000 This is an issue that I like.

00:45:48.000 This is a compartmental, isolated piece which I find interesting or important.

00:45:53.000 This is a part of a coherent worldview.

00:45:55.000 Ethnic nationalism is so off putting because it is diametrically opposed, it challenges the core assumptions upon which phony conservatism and liberalism and progressivism are all built on top of. 0.93

00:46:10.000 You destroy egalitarianism. 0.96

00:46:12.000 You destroy the notion that all people are just pink on the inside.

00:46:16.000 We're all just, you know, tabula rasa.

00:46:19.000 Is that right?

00:46:21.000 We're all blank slate, John Locke kind of thing where people can come in.

00:46:25.000 We overwrite their programming with our culture and they can integrate.

00:46:29.000 You challenge that. 1.00

00:46:30.000 Mass immigration is not even a question.

00:46:34.000 You challenge that and this kind of stuff about big banks, other stuff.

00:46:38.000 Media ownership is not even a question.

00:46:40.000 It becomes very apparent.

00:46:41.000 So it's part of a coherent worldview, it's got to be talked about.

00:46:45.000 Tan Staffel says, Nick, get the chat off the screen. 0.97

00:46:48.000 They keep posting dicks. 0.98

00:46:51.000 Okay. 0.99

00:46:53.000 Now I understand the problem.

00:46:55.000 Now I understand.

00:46:57.000 Okay.

00:46:58.000 I didn't even see this before.

00:47:01.000 I didn't even see this before.

00:47:05.000 I put in the wrong widget.

00:47:09.000 I meant to only have.

00:47:10.000 Okay.

00:47:11.000 Now I understand.

00:47:12.000 All right.

00:47:16.000 Jeez.

00:47:16.000 I'm just trying to have.

00:47:20.000 What's going on with the world, folks?

00:47:22.000 I'm trying to inform you about how, you know, maybe we deserve it.

00:47:25.000 Maybe we have it coming.

00:47:26.000 I'm over here trying to warn you.

00:47:29.000 About what's happening to the country, and people are posting these outrageous emoticons.

00:47:35.000 I put in a widget for the, you know, it should notify you and it says, like, oh, you know, this person donated five bucks.

00:47:40.000 I put in the wrong widget, so it displays the Twitch chat box.

00:47:47.000 Boomer Tech, the revenge, the revenge of Boomer Tech, the humiliating revenge of Boomer Tech. 0.99

00:47:55.000 Damn you, technology. 0.99

00:47:59.000 Oh, the Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. 1.00

00:48:05.000 I think I just became full primble.

00:48:07.000 I think I just became full primitivist.

00:48:10.000 You know, get ready.

00:48:11.000 I'm about to buy a cabin in the woods.

00:48:14.000 If you're a university professor, if you're an airplane traveler, kidding, of course, kidding.

00:48:21.000 I only mean it rhetorically.

00:48:22.000 Wow.

00:48:23.000 I just went full primble.

00:48:24.000 The Streamlabs, Twitch streaming, and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

00:48:31.000 Anyway, but we'll get back into our super chats and our stream labs.

00:48:36.000 Let's see.

00:48:38.000 But thank you for the warning, Tan Steff. 1.00

00:48:40.000 I wasn't even.

00:48:41.000 I thought it was like just in the Twitch.

00:48:43.000 I didn't realize it was on the screen.

00:48:46.000 Oy vey.

00:48:48.000 Michael Corleone says Should West adopt Islam to save trad world and race? 0.99

00:48:53.000 No. 0.99

00:48:53.000 Silly question. 0.99

00:48:54.000 Islam is heresy. 1.00

00:48:56.000 Froctor enthusiast. 1.00

00:48:57.000 I would love to kill her, but prison ain't worth it. 1.00

00:48:59.000 Yeah, I hear you, brother. 1.00

00:49:01.000 Trust me, I got a long list.

00:49:03.000 I got a long list.

00:49:04.000 If extrajudicial killings ever become under my jurisdiction, you know, the people at Greyhound Bus are going to be not too happy and their families either, right?

00:49:14.000 No, I'm totally a joke.

00:49:16.000 That's not a threat.

00:49:17.000 Totally a joke.

00:49:18.000 Totally kidding.

00:49:19.000 Michael Jones, can Trump send missiles into Syria again without sending troops, or is it one or the other at this point?

00:49:25.000 He can easily do another missile strike.

00:49:27.000 The problem is escalation.

00:49:29.000 We can do a missile strike without boots on the ground, of course.

00:49:32.000 And the Pentagon has said that's one of the options on the table.

00:49:35.000 Problem is.

00:49:37.000 Will Russia and Iran respond?

00:49:39.000 That's the question.

00:49:39.000 If so, how?

00:49:41.000 Shadows and Dust, 140 million non whites in America, Nick. 1.00

00:49:45.000 Gotcha. 1.00

00:49:46.000 Thank you for the enlightened post.

00:49:49.000 That just changed millions of people's minds.

00:49:52.000 Let's take a look in our Streamlabs now and see what people are saying.

00:49:59.000 Oh, people are raiding my Twitch chat.

00:50:02.000 I'm going to have to go in and ban.

00:50:04.000 I'm going to have to go in and eliminate.

00:50:06.000 I'm going to have to take out the trash.

00:50:08.000 I guess it's, what is this, Destiny's people, maybe?

00:50:11.000 We're going to have to go in and ban some people.

00:50:14.000 Always a great time, right?

00:50:17.000 It's always something, huh?

00:50:19.000 Yeah, it's Destiny's people. 0.83

00:50:22.000 Well, some people are spamming Hitler, so I guess that makes it a little bit more balanced. 0.80

00:50:27.000 Here we go. 0.70

00:50:29.000 Always the interruptions.

00:50:30.000 People just spamming FUNIC.

00:50:36.000 All kinds of stuff. 0.96

00:50:37.000 Just troll faces. 0.65

00:50:39.000 Let me get that out of there. 0.70

00:50:40.000 Okay.

00:50:43.000 Eyes are a blast.

00:50:44.000 I love this Twitch streaming.

00:50:48.000 Anywho, let's get back into our Streamlabs.

00:50:50.000 We're not going to let it derail us too much here.

00:50:53.000 Let's see.

00:50:55.000 We've got Reagan who says we got to protect Trump from the deep state warmongers. 0.50

00:51:00.000 Nikas meet in D.C. tonight.

00:51:02.000 Dress code is bully casual.

00:51:04.000 Varsity jacket, tucked shirt, blonde wig, and switchblade.

00:51:07.000 Swirlies for McCain and Paul Ryan.

00:51:10.000 Bolton gets shoved in a locker. 0.96

00:51:12.000 Panty raid on Nikki Haley.

00:51:13.000 I like the way this guy talks.

00:51:14.000 Bully nationalism.

00:51:17.000 Dopey Boy says both Democrats and Republicans agree on this issue and on the issue of U.S. aid to Israel.

00:51:23.000 Really makes you think.

00:51:24.000 Yeah, there you go, right?

00:51:25.000 It just goes to show who's really running the show.

00:51:28.000 Dopey boy, Ben Shapiro called Assad a dictator today. 0.88

00:51:31.000 Meanwhile, he supported the IDF killing of Palestinians. 0.97

00:51:35.000 Well, you know, there it is. 0.99

00:51:37.000 More rich hypocrisy.

00:51:39.000 If the standard for going to war is kids are involved in atrocities, when's our war with Israel?

00:51:45.000 When's our war against Israel and the IDF? 0.60

00:51:48.000 If the standard is killing children unjustly in war, that's who we're going to go to war against. 0.88

00:51:54.000 We should have been at war with Israel years ago, 70 years ago, right? 0.81

00:52:00.000 But of course, it's really more about pipelines. 0.87

00:52:02.000 It's really more about Israel's land claims.

00:52:07.000 And it looks like these are all of our Super Chats, or rather, our Streamlabs donations.

00:52:12.000 Looks like we got another Super Chat.

00:52:13.000 Joshua Larson, 800 viewers.

00:52:15.000 That's some real clout there, fella.

00:52:17.000 Big stream, fellas.

00:52:18.000 Big stream.

00:52:19.000 People want to know.

00:52:21.000 At the end of the day, they may say Nick is a shill and all the rest.

00:52:25.000 But at the end of the day, they come to Nick because Nick speaks the truth.

00:52:28.000 Nick throws out the facts.

00:52:30.000 And that's what matters. 0.94

00:52:32.000 So that's Syria. 0.99

00:52:33.000 It looks like we've exhausted our stream labs, or at least we got one more here. 0.93

00:52:39.000 Spoiler alert.

00:52:40.000 You blushed when you were embarrassed by the Twitch chat. 0.97

00:52:43.000 Only white people can do that. 0.96

00:52:44.000 Congratulations. 0.94

00:52:45.000 You made it.

00:52:46.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:52:46.000 Confirmed.

00:52:49.000 I guess that's the standard now, the blush, right?

00:52:51.000 Blunderbuss.

00:52:52.000 And I have very European features, I must say. 0.95

00:52:55.000 You know, people all the time, they try to get under my skin with this You're not white.

00:52:59.000 You're a white nationalist, but you're not white. 0.82

00:53:02.000 You know, it's funny because just by the very logic of it, if somebody is 15% something and that defines the whole, I mean, this is a paradox that a minority constituent piece defines the whole.

00:53:14.000 Well, then what about a majority constituent piece? 0.91

00:53:16.000 It's just insanity.

00:53:18.000 But additionally, you know, well, we're not even going to get into it.

00:53:22.000 Blunderbuss, this week on the alt right will be at No White Guilts Channel on Wednesday, as usual, according to Mark Collette.

00:53:28.000 That's very great.

00:53:29.000 You know, Mark Collette invited me on to this week on the alt right.

00:53:32.000 And then after my fight with James.

00:53:34.000 Uh, never invited me back on again.

00:53:37.000 So I don't know if that was McCarthy.

00:53:38.000 I don't know if that was James.

00:53:39.000 I don't know what that's all about, but, um, but thanks for promoting their show here.

00:53:45.000 Um, yeah, not, not, not really pleased about that.

00:53:49.000 And let's see.

00:53:50.000 We got Cactus Blah who gave us five bits.

00:53:54.000 Thank you for the bits, big guy.

00:53:57.000 And, uh, and let's move in and we'll see.

00:53:59.000 Somebody who says, just look at Nick. 0.53

00:54:01.000 He is white people. 0.60

00:54:02.000 Let's not purity test him. 1.00

00:54:03.000 Eyeball pest will do for the ethnostate. 1.00

00:54:05.000 Yeah, fair enough. 1.00

00:54:07.000 Um, And yeah, it looks like we've exhausted our Super Chats.

00:54:10.000 Looks like we've exhausted our Stream Lab.

00:54:12.000 So I think we're going to call it.

00:54:14.000 We've got to give you a brief overview of what is in store for us this week because we've got a big week planned for you.

00:54:21.000 Tomorrow is my gun control debate on Andy Worski with Atheism is Unstoppable.

00:54:27.000 That'll be right after America First.

00:54:29.000 So America First is on at the same time, 7 o'clock.

00:54:33.000 And then after America First at 8 o'clock Central, I'll be on Andy Worski debating, what's his name?

00:54:39.000 Devin Tracy.

00:54:40.000 On gun control, on Andy Worski.

00:54:43.000 It should be an easy victory.

00:54:45.000 He doesn't strike me as a very informed person on the issue, and I will put the blood back in Bloodsports tomorrow.

00:54:51.000 I'm going to give him a one way ticket to Vindication City, where he will be put in jail by the Vindication City National Guard. 0.97

00:54:59.000 He'll be on the pain train on the way to prison in Vindication Nation. 0.90

00:55:04.000 Wednesday, we have J.F. Gareipi, who will be making an appearance on this show to discuss biology and ethnic nationalism, things of this nature.

00:55:13.000 I also have a very important question to ask him about fruit.

00:55:17.000 And let me know if you've ever wondered this.

00:55:18.000 I was looking at a banana the other day.

00:55:20.000 This is a little off topic, but I was looking at a banana the other day, and I said to myself, Where does this come from?

00:55:27.000 You have a plant, or I don't know, it comes from a tree, right?

00:55:31.000 It comes from a tree, and inside of this pod, you have something that can be eaten by people, and it gives us nutrients.

00:55:38.000 Miraculous.

00:55:39.000 And I got to ask him about that.

00:55:40.000 I brought him on.

00:55:41.000 No joke.

00:55:42.000 I was wondering that, and I said, I got to get JF on.

00:55:45.000 We'll talk about politics and usual stuff, but also I have to ask him that one question.

00:55:50.000 Friday, we have our friend Yusuf making an appearance on the show.

00:55:54.000 We talked about him last week, last Friday.

00:55:58.000 About how he debated Steven Crowder, that based socialist slash nationalist who completely ruined Steven Crowder's life, that capitalist shill, that autistic libertarian. 0.93

00:56:09.000 He completely ruined his life by beating him so badly. 0.99

00:56:13.000 So we'll have him on on Friday.
