00:04:53.000Warming on everybody who dared to approach.
00:05:15.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:29.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:34.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:13.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:17.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:24.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:31.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:39.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:42.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God.
00:07:47.000And to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:56.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:08:00.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:04.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:11.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:14.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:43.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:49.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:04.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:13.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement.
00:09:35.000who, through an increasing amount of activism, America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:09:56.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:13:32.000But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.
00:13:36.000Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.
00:13:42.000Jesus Christ is our present now and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth we want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth We love everybody.
00:14:04.000And we want people to convert, really more than anybody.
00:14:08.000But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world.
00:14:18.000The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.
00:14:23.000The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.
00:14:27.000The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.
00:14:35.000The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian.
00:26:10.000Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:31:35.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian Adams?
00:31:39.000Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:32:03.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.
00:32:14.000The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
00:32:19.000For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.
00:32:29.000Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before.
00:32:37.000This is not simply another four-year election.
00:32:40.000This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.
00:32:52.000The political establishment That is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
00:33:11.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
00:33:23.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
00:33:40.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation, and this will be our last chance to save it.
00:33:48.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
00:35:25.000The scientists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant they have awoken.
00:35:35.000They cannot even begin to imagine the brave and righteous spirit they've unleashed in men and women, but they're going to find out the hard way.
00:37:22.000As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, The respect that we deserve Wasting, wasting, wasting I'm just a hate line
00:37:44.000Wasting, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting Wasting, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting I'm gonna be a drug So, wasting So, wasting And, wasting So, wasting And, wasting To be

00:43:16.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:43:21.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:43:35.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.

00:44:15.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:49:22.000And I also see it as somebody with strong views.
00:49:25.000And somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be rife, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.
00:49:37.000And that's a sad commentary for the political process.
00:49:40.000And if you have a minute, why don't we go?
00:56:15.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for us, it's all gone down the drain.
00:56:29.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:56:34.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised, not at all.
00:58:13.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:58:18.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:58:24.000And we're killing ourselves every day inadvertently with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:58:32.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:58:39.000People have got to start to get courageous and this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God And to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

00:59:44.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:59:49.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
01:00:04.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
01:00:13.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019, when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement.
01:00:36.000who through an increasing amount of activism are really going to ensure the future America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
01:00:56.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
01:05:51.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
01:06:16.000The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.
01:06:27.000Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.
01:16:38.000But there is so much news to get into.
01:16:41.000We're going to be talking tonight, our featured story, about the Syrian civil war, which seems to have restarted actually the day that I stopped doing the show.
01:16:54.000So I didn't do a show Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and it was Wednesday night that Syrian rebels, that's what they're calling them, realistically it is Al-Qaeda, began marching on the city of Aleppo, a major city in Syria, their second largest began marching on the city of Aleppo, a major city in Syria, their second largest city, and as of Saturday
01:17:18.000And Syria was relatively a stable situation over the past four or five years after Turkey halted its advance in 2020, and so it seemed that this was a frozen conflict.
01:17:32.000That is until Wednesday when now it has suddenly restarted.
01:17:38.000Russia and Iran are moving to intervene with Russian airstrikes and pro-government airstrikes from the Assad regime.
01:17:45.000And so we'll talk about what exactly is going on.
01:17:48.000This is probably the most complicated conflict in modern history on the ground and with all the different proxy forces fighting each other.
01:18:01.000So we're going to go over all the details.
01:18:02.000We'll talk about just what's going on there, and we'll also talk about the timing.
01:18:07.000I think everybody is talking about the conspicuous timing of all of this.
01:18:12.000It comes just a week, actually just a few days after the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, Hezbollah, went into effect.
01:18:22.000That was on Tuesday or Monday, I believe, that it was actually finalized and agreed to by all parties.
01:18:33.000And of course, it's also one week after Western forces authorized the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine deep inside of Russian territory.
01:18:42.000And this is especially coincidental because Syria is one of Russia's most critical military allies, even more so than Iran.
01:18:52.000So there's a couple of different ways to look at this.
01:18:55.000You can look at this in the context of the regional war in the Middle East, nucleus of which is Israel and Iran, technically.
01:19:06.000You can look at it from the angle of the Western proxy war against Russia and Ukraine.
01:19:12.000And you can look at it from the lens of the role of Turkey, particularly in the Syrian civil war, but also their ambitions to have more influence in the Middle East broadly.
01:19:26.000So we'll be talking about all those different angles.
01:19:29.000We're going to talk about the timing, the players involved, everything like that.
01:20:08.000Full pardon, so now he's clean and he gets away.
01:20:12.000Democrats are furious because it really does hurt their reputation.
01:20:18.000For the past eight years, nine years, all they've talked about is law and order and democracy and they've accused Trump of Really, more so than any of the rhetoric.
01:20:33.000They've used all of that as a battering ram to accuse Trump of being some kind of outlaw, dictator, who sees himself as above the law, who is never held accountable.
01:20:47.000All these, you're familiar, all these things throughout the election and throughout the post-presidency and even throughout his first term.
01:20:56.000And now you get a part in Really with no basis other than that his father is the president.
01:21:05.000So he will not be held accountable like anybody else would.
01:21:09.000If anybody else had a gun charge, drug charge, if anybody else was doing the kinds of things that was on the laptop from hell, they would go to jail.
01:21:20.000But his dad is the president, so now he doesn't have to.
01:21:25.000So that doesn't really work when you've built your whole opposition to Trump on the basis that he should be held accountable because everyone is subject to the law.
01:22:30.000And he used it, and it's good, and I think we should get used to that.
01:22:34.000I think it's actually a good thing because maybe it paves the way for a future dictator because then they could always point back to this moment and say, hey, Joe Biden pardoned his son, so now we're going to round up all the illegal immigrants and send them over the border and adjourn Congress and dismiss the courts.
01:38:05.000She tweeted in September 2022, Yes, some women like to play out rape fantasies during sex, and I personally like being dominated, like a vanilla form of BDSM. She tweeted on her public Twitter, on her Maine Twitter account.
01:38:43.000So, to recap, just to recap, you have all these men, all these husbands on the internet, posting a cartoon woman with relatable female quips or quirky sayings, and you have all these supposedly trad, masculine, chivalric men saying...
01:39:08.000Aww, it's so cute and wholesome and pure and innocent.
01:39:13.000We're not like boomers where we say we hate our wives as a joke.
01:40:25.000And two years ago, she's talking about she is fantasizing about rape.
01:40:30.000And I said, you have wife jacks, or rather you have wife guys fantasizing about shopping in Target with their wives while their wives are fantasizing about rape, okay?
01:40:43.000You, wife guy, or yet to be married wife guy, in some cases, you are sitting on your phone fantasizing about the wheels on the bus go round and round, singing songs with your toddlers, driving with your wife, singing songs with your toddlers, driving with your wife, being relatable in Target with your wife.
01:43:08.000And this has been brewing for a long time.
01:43:11.000Past couple of years, I've been catching a lot of strays.
01:43:15.000Conservatives talking about incels and women haters, all this kind of stuff.
01:43:22.000Year after year, we have to relearn these lessons.
01:43:25.000We start to see posts about drinking water, being defeated in Mario Kart consistently, power emanating from our wives, these kinds of things.
01:43:36.000And then everybody remembers, oh yeah, there is a difference between being married and being a simp.
01:46:41.000But, look, I said it, I think, right before I left for Thanksgiving, we are in World War III. And I'm not saying that in a vague or general way.
01:46:58.000On basically every continent, frozen conflicts are becoming hot.
01:47:04.000There is an alternative system that is emerging, that is reaching a critical mass.
01:47:10.000I'm referring to the one with Russia and China at its center.
01:47:16.000Russia's military, China's economy, and the various middle powers or rogue states that they are drawing into their orbit, backed by those powers and in opposition to the West— Many countries are making plays,
01:47:35.000and I described it in detail last Tuesday in South America, in the Sahel, in Africa, in the Middle East, Taiwan, the Caucasus, Eastern Europe, everywhere around the world, you're starting to see conflict.
01:47:51.000And so it shouldn't come as any surprise now that, you know, one or two or maybe both are Of the big wars that are raging right now have now spilled over and activated this dormant civil war in Syria.
01:48:07.000And so the big news out of Wednesday is that some of the Syrian rebels previously aligned with Al-Qaeda, formerly called the Al-Nusra Front, although they're going by a new name now, have seized the major Syrian city of Aleppo.
01:48:26.000And this is notable because Aleppo is one of Syria's major cities.
01:48:32.000Aleppo was also the site of a major battle in 2016 during the Syrian civil war, which has been raging since 2011. Ultimately, the rebels failed to capture the city, and it was a major turning point in the war.
01:48:47.000That the rebels in 16 were unable to take Aleppo was when the pro-Assad forces started to recapture territory and the war turned in their favor.
01:48:59.000Well, all of a sudden, although the war has been virtually dormant for the last five years, it has suddenly reignited when rebels allegedly backed by Turkey from the Idlib province in northwestern Syria attacked the city of Aleppo it has suddenly reignited when rebels allegedly backed by Turkey from the Idlib province in northwestern Syria attacked the city of
01:49:23.000And these are reports from a humanitarian observatory, also reports from the Syrian army.
01:49:32.000It's not 100% confirmed, but it is widely believed, based on video evidence of rebels outside the police station and outside of the citadel in Aleppo, that they have taken control of the city.
01:49:46.000Now Russia, Iran and the Assad government are moving their forces in to retake the city and to roll back some of the advances by the rebels.
01:49:57.000The big question, though, is who is behind this?
01:50:02.000Who sponsored or approved or backed this new offensive by the rebels?
01:50:08.000Because probably they couldn't have done it without logistical or weapons support from a client state like Turkey or Israel or France or the United States or Ukraine.
01:51:11.000So that the Assad government is under attack by rebels might suggest that this has something to do with the proxy war between Israel and Iran.
01:51:21.000Like I said, the other conflict that this might be related to is the ongoing war in Ukraine.
01:51:26.000Not only is Syria a major ally of Iran, but it is also arguably the most important military ally of Russia.
01:51:36.000Russia has its only naval bases outside of its own country in Syria at the port of Tardis.
01:51:43.000It also has a number of air bases and military outposts.
01:51:47.000So people speculate that this is a new front in the West's war against Russia with a mind towards an outcome in Ukraine.
01:52:01.000And then the other third angle that people are considering is that this has something to do with Turkey in general, that Turkey is making a move based on its own domestic considerations, specifically that there are 3 million Syrian refugees living inside Turkey, that Turkey wishes to return.
01:52:19.000And that in anticipation of some settlement in Syria that will be made permanent in the new Trump administration, Turkey is seeking more leverage in those discussions with Russia and the United States and the Assad regime.
01:52:51.000So this is a story from the New York Times.
01:52:53.000It says, quote, Syrian opposition fighters have made their most significant advance in years against government forces, shaking up a civil war that had long been at a stalemate.
01:53:04.000The new rebel offensive began on Wednesday in Aleppo province in northwestern Syria.
01:53:10.000By Saturday, anti-government forces had captured most of the major city of Aleppo.
01:53:17.000And by Sunday, they were in control of a broad stretch of land across the provinces of Hama, Idlib, and Aleppo in the west and northwest of Syria.
01:53:26.000The offensive aims to stop attacks by government forces and their Iran-backed militia allies, according to a rebel commander.
01:53:34.000It is the most serious challenge to President Bashar al-Assad's government in years.
01:53:40.000Government troops loyal to the president have been trying to repel the rebels, rushing reinforcements to the battlefield, launching airstrikes, and getting support from Russian fighter jets.
01:53:49.000The new insurgency has been led by jihadist fighters from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an offshoot of al-Qaeda that was previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra or the Nusra Front.
01:54:03.000It controls most of the northwestern territory, still held by opposition groups.
01:54:08.000Several Turkish-backed rebel groups have also joined the offensive, according to commanders of the groups and the observatory.
01:54:17.000So, the first part of this that I want to get to, this might be obvious, but it's worth repeating.
01:54:24.000So again, these are rebel forces that have basically controlled Idlib province for years.
01:54:31.000This is a province that is sandwiched between Turkey and Syria.
01:54:36.000It is in northwest Syria on the border with Turkey.
01:54:39.000Now, if you know anything about the Syrian civil war, Turkey has been deeply involved in the conflict.
01:54:48.000When the civil war started back in 2011, Turkey quickly backed the opposition.
01:54:55.000And starting in 2018, 2019, and 2020, Turkey directly intervened and invaded Syria seeking to control a buffer zone on Syria's northern border.
01:55:07.000And they did this, one, simply to expand their territory, but also because Turkey is concerned about the Kurds, Syrian Kurdistan and Turkish Kurdistan, Turkey.
01:55:20.000The Kurds cross the border between Turkey and Syria and are a major challenger to the government of Turkey, specifically the Kurdish Workers' Party, which is a terrorist group.
01:55:33.000Over the course of the Syrian civil war, the Kurds have gotten a lot of autonomy.
01:55:40.000And so in order to create a buffer with them and to prevent them from having any say in the outcome of the conflict, Turkey has intervened to control their border.
01:55:52.000Idlib province is on the border with Turkey, and Turkey has backed some of the rebel anti-government groups in Idlib province, specifically some of the groups that backed this offensive over the past week.
01:56:05.000Rebels have controlled Idlib province for years.
01:56:10.000Syria for the past several years has been dismembered.
01:56:14.000You have American and Kurdish forces controlling the northeast.
01:56:18.000You have Israel controlling the Golan and the southwest.
01:56:21.000And you have the Turks and the rebels controlling the north and the northwest.
01:56:25.000Assad right now only controls about 60% of the country.
01:56:30.000The other thing to understand in critical detail is that many of the so-called rebels, the reason I'm using scare quotes when I say rebels, anti-government groups, is because although in the West we consider the anti-Assad forces, we consider the anti-government forces as democratic or secular or something like that, In reality, it is the Assad government.
01:56:57.000It is the current and reigning government of Syria, which is relatively secular and moderate, if authoritarian.
01:57:06.000It is the rebels who are actually the theocratic, radical Muslims.
01:57:14.000And in particular, this group, which they're calling HTS, is a rebrand of the Nusra Front.
01:57:22.000And it was well known back when the Syrian civil war was raging from 2011 until 2017 that the Nusra Front was closely aligned with Al-Qaeda and shared Al-Qaeda's same radical interpretation of Islam.
01:57:39.000The Nusra Front had ambitions in Syria.
01:57:44.000Unlike ISIS, they did not pledge allegiance to ISIS. They pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda.
01:57:50.000They only broke with Al-Qaeda because they wanted to receive support from America and from NATO. But they have the same politics as Al-Qaeda.
01:58:08.000Al-Qaeda, in this form, what they're calling HTS, has been receiving direct and indirect support from the United States, from Israel, and from NATO, from Turkey.
01:58:21.000So when we talk about this rebel group in Idlib province, when we talk about the rebels invading Aleppo, when we talk about the rebels taking control of this broad territory, this is Al-Qaeda.
01:58:39.000And it is a rare thing, but most people in the right wing, somebody pointed this out, actually support the Assad regime.
01:58:48.000And this is, of course, against many in the Republican Party and the entire Democratic Party, which supports this group, which supports the Nusra Front, which, in effect, they support al-Qaeda.
01:59:00.000So, you know, we support the Assad regime.
01:59:12.000So this is what has taken place over the past week.
01:59:15.000And this is a big deal because, again, the Syrian civil war has basically been frozen since 2017.
01:59:21.000The big change in policy came when Trump was inaugurated after the 2016 election.
01:59:28.000From 2011 until 2017, this was in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, the United States was seeking regime change in Syria.
01:59:38.000There was a wave of discontent, which Western media said was fueled by Facebook and a younger generation hungry for democracy.
01:59:48.000In reality, it was facilitated by the CIA in Israel.
01:59:53.000But there was a wave of protests and anti-government mobilization that started in Tunisia, spread through North Africa, spread into the Middle East, and...
02:00:04.000And this is what instigated the Syrian civil war.
02:00:10.000The Obama administration initially resisted calls to arm the rebels or deploy to Syria.
02:00:15.000But eventually in 2015, we did send troops into Syria to fight ISIS and In 2017, after Trump was elected, a decision was made strategically to fight only ISIS and not to fight the Syrian government.
02:00:32.000The United States actually worked with Russia, which is a patron of the Syrian government, to defeat ISIS in Syria and also Iraq and no longer to seek to overthrow the Assad regime for the purpose of stability.
02:00:49.000The Assad regime was challenged by protesters.
02:00:51.000ISIS rose in the wake of the power vacuum.
02:00:57.000The United States effectively backed ISIS during that time because the priority was overthrowing Assad.
02:01:04.000Trump came in and rewrote the doctrine and said, we choose the Assad regime over ISIS and actually again collaborated with Russia to defeat and roll back ISIS in Syria.
02:01:13.000And ever since 2017, the conflict has been virtually frozen with the exception of a series of offensive launched by Turkey in the northern border in 2018, 19 and 20. And since then, the Assad regime has controlled about 60% of the country.
02:01:31.000The United States has controlled the oil fields, Syria and Kurdistan in the east of the country.
02:01:36.000Turkey has controlled the buffer state on the northern border.
02:01:39.000And again, Israel has controlled the Golan Heights really since 1967, since the 1967 war.
02:01:46.000That is the current state of the conflict.
02:01:48.000It is such a big surprise because, again, for the past really seven years, there hasn't been a lot of territory that has changed hands.
02:01:57.000And that there has been a major offensive that has succeeded against second biggest city, Aleppo, a city which the Assad government defended successfully in 2016 signals that maybe the Syrian civil war has restarted, which would draw in basically every regional power. a city which the Assad government defended successfully in 2016 The Russians, the Iranians are already moving in to defend the Assad regime.
02:02:22.000And perhaps this will draw in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United States in a new bid to overthrow Assad.
02:03:16.000They are the – although Syria is no longer the main opponent, they have probably been the longest opponent of Israel.
02:03:24.000And so many people thought that Israel was behind the latest push to take Aleppo in a bid to overthrow the Assad regime.
02:03:31.000To that point, a very interesting article that came out in the Times of Israel, the rebels basically seemed to agree with that assessment.
02:03:40.000The so-called rebels, former Al-Qaeda members, formerly called the Al-Nusra Front, they basically agree from the horse's mouth itself that Israel is the main catalyst for the offensive.
02:05:06.000We love Israel, said the Al-Qaeda-aligned terrorist.
02:05:12.000I'll remind you, Al-Qaeda is the group that allegedly brought down the World Trade Center.
02:05:19.000In 2001, that's who says they love Israel.
02:05:25.000That's who seeks to overthrow the Assad regime.
02:05:28.000The rebel commander added that the goal was to topple the Assad regime and set up a government that has good relations with all of its neighbors including Israel.
02:05:39.000He told Channel 12, quote, it will be a country based on equality and justice for all Syrian citizens without exception where there will be peace and security with the entire region including with Israel.
02:05:51.000Also speaking to the channel, exiled Syrian opposition leader Fahad al-Mazri egged on Israel's military to back the opposition.
02:05:59.000He said, quote, We call on the Israeli leadership to launch intensive attacks against the position and troops of the Iran-backed militias in Syria.
02:06:08.000It will be necessary to strike sites in Homs, Damascus and on the Lebanon border.
02:06:13.000This will help rid Syria's territory of the Lebanese presence and Hezbollah's weapons and the octopus tentacles of Iran.
02:06:23.000Do you remember back in 2016 Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton created ISIS? Barack Obama created ISIS? This is what they were referring to.
02:06:35.000This is what Trump was referring to years ago.
02:06:40.000Because when the United States, when the Republicans and Democrats backed anti-government forces in Syria, they were backing forces that were aligned with Al-Qaeda.
02:06:53.000They were backing the forces that many of whom pledged allegiance to ISIS. They gave them weapons.
02:07:04.000So we did directly and indirectly create ISIS. What was ISIS? Iraq in, or rather the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
02:07:17.000By toppling Saddam Hussein, we created a power vacuum.
02:07:23.000By backing the opposition against Assad, we created a power vacuum in Syria.
02:07:30.000We gave weapons to many of the Iraqi militias.
02:07:35.000We gave weapons to many of the Syrian militias, many of whom were aligned with Al-Qaeda, many of whom were Islamic fundamentalists.
02:07:44.000By the way, Sunni Islamic radicalism is an export of Saudi Arabia.
02:07:53.000ISIS, Al-Qaeda are Sunni radical groups.
02:07:59.000Their theology, their ideology comes from Saudi Arabia.
02:08:04.000It is called Salafism or Wahhabism and it is an export of Saudi Arabia.
02:08:11.000It's only in the past 10 years, thanks largely to the Trump administration.
02:08:17.000And Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince, that Saudi Arabia has made an effort to roll back the fundamentalism that is coming out of its mosques, that is coming from its clerics.
02:08:26.000But that's just another country that we have backed for 80 years.
02:09:07.000And then those militias eventually became ISIS, influenced by Saudi Arabia's clerics, armed by the United States, Receiving support from the militias in Iraq and Syria, taking advantage of the opening that we created by opposing those dictators, and they declared an Islamic state.
02:09:28.000And by the way, you might think that creating ISIS, that creating Al-Qaeda, that creating these terrorist groups, you might think that was an accident.
02:09:39.000You might think, and this is how it's described, people say that it was a blunder to They say, well, we shouldn't have toppled Assad, or tried to.
02:09:50.000We shouldn't have toppled Saddam Hussein.
02:09:53.000We should have thought in advance that if we toppled Saddam Hussein, that Iran would gain influence, that terrorists would gain influence.
02:10:02.000We should have expected that if we moved against Assad, that some of the weapons would wind up in the hands of terrorists.
02:10:14.000And that's, you could say, maybe the first step.
02:10:18.000That's like the first level of understanding the Middle East.
02:10:22.000Of course, the next level is to realize that was part of the design from the beginning.
02:10:29.000That wasn't an unintended consequence.
02:10:32.000That wasn't a oopsie or a mistake, a blunder.
02:10:38.000That is, of course, part as a feature of the strategy, because when we toppled Saddam Hussein and when we moved against Assad and ISIS was created, what had to happen next?
02:10:53.000In 2011, Barack Obama, after winning an election on this platform, ended the war in Iraq and began to bring the troops home.
02:11:06.000But when ISIS came out of nowhere in the power vacuum that we created, the groups that we armed, when ISIS emerged and began taking territory and the Iraqi government couldn't defend itself, and then when ISIS emerged and began taking territory and the Iraqi government couldn't defend itself, and then it spread to Syria and What had to happen next?
02:11:51.000We are still occupying a third of Syria.
02:11:55.000Specifically, their oil fields, which is critically important.
02:12:00.000Controlling the territory is the goal.
02:12:04.000Whether it is to oppose the dictators, whether it is to oppose the militias or the terrorists...
02:12:11.000Controlling the territory is the goal, but it's not even our goal.
02:12:15.000We have no strategic purpose in having our troops deployed in eastern Syria.
02:12:22.000The real beneficiary of all these conflicts is Israel.
02:12:25.000It was laid out in their own military thinking 45 years ago, 50 years ago.
02:12:35.000All of the ministers who were a part of the Likud party, which has been ruling in Israel for 30, 40 years, this was the consensus in the 70s and 80s, which is to destabilize.
02:12:49.000And by destabilizing all the governments of the Middle East, they would not be able to bring their countries back together, which is true in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Syria.
02:13:02.000And in a world where the Arab Muslim countries are in disarray, they would not be able to challenge Israel.
02:13:10.000And that is the big story of the Syrian civil war.
02:13:16.000That when you have these, again, it's important to establish, they're calling them rebels.
02:13:26.000According to our own lexicon, according to the State Department, according to the media's own lexicon, this is a group that was aligned with Al-Qaeda.
02:13:37.000Al Qaeda, again, according to the state, they are the ones that brought down the Twin Towers.
02:13:45.000And as they are invading Aleppo, and as the U.S. government approves this, and this has happened with the backing of either NATO or Israel, they are saying on their march to Aleppo, we love Israel.
02:14:10.000Because they, just like the Kurds, who are barbarians...
02:14:15.000Do you remember years ago when the United States stopped supporting the Kurds and there was this big scandal that said we were abandoning our allies?
02:14:24.000The vaunted Kurds who we supported against ISIS and Assad, these guys are just as brutal as ISIS. They're just as brutal as Al-Qaeda.
02:14:38.000So a third of Syria is controlled by America and the barbarian Kurds, and another portion of Syria is controlled by Al-Qaeda, both of whom are Israel's closest allies.
02:14:51.000Turkey recognized Israel in 1948 and has been an ally of Israel ever since.
02:14:57.000The Al-Qaeda terrorists support Israel, and the Kurds have been allies with Israel since the beginning.
02:15:25.000But now let's talk a little bit about how we could put some of these pieces together.
02:15:30.000So, again, let's talk about some of the alignments.
02:15:35.000Syria is an ally of both Russia and Iran.
02:15:39.000And when I say Syria, I mean the Assad regime, the government.
02:15:42.000The Assad regime was supported throughout the Syrian civil war by Iran and by Russia.
02:15:50.000Russia supported Syria with airstrikes and Iran-backed militias, including Hezbollah.
02:15:59.000As well as Iran's paramilitary force, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, they helped to roll back ISIS as well.
02:16:06.000So Syria is an ally of Iran and Russia, but they're allies in different ways.
02:16:11.000Syria is critical for Iran because Syria is a territory that Iran uses to supply Hezbollah in Lebanon.
02:16:22.000Many of the supply chains from Iran to Hezbollah inside of Lebanon, which as you know is at war with Israel right now, run through Syria.
02:16:33.000So Hezbollah and the IRGC have established a major military presence in Syria to shore up the Assad regime, but it has also benefited them immensely as well because by having a presence in the territory, they are safeguarding supply chains between they are safeguarding supply chains between Iran and its proxy in Lebanon.
02:16:54.000So that is the way in which Iran and Syria are allied.
02:16:59.000That is the way in which they are important to each other.
02:17:02.000Syria relies on Iran to defend its government from rebel forces and Iran derives value from Syria because by having a presence there, they can safeguard supply chains that they use to furnish Hezbollah with weapons.
02:17:19.000The relationship between Syria and Russia is a little bit different.
02:17:25.000Russia used Syria throughout the Syrian civil war really as a proven ground for their re-entry into the world stage.
02:17:35.000The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Russia was in a period of calamity and chaos throughout the 1990s.
02:17:44.000When Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000, he started to rebuild Russia.
02:17:50.000For that 20-year period, from 1991 until, realistically, 2011, Russia was not a global player.
02:17:59.000Throughout the history of the Soviet Union, Russia was a global player.
02:18:04.000They had allies on every continent, in Central America, in South America, in Africa, in the Middle East, in Asia.
02:18:12.000Of course, the Soviet Union was the world's, at one point, preeminent superpower.
02:18:17.000After the Soviet Union collapsed, they were no longer a world power.
02:18:21.000In 2011, when the Syrian civil war began, Russia entered the conflict on the side of Assad and helped to turn the tide.
02:18:31.000And the significance of this is that this was considered Russia's re-entry to the world stage.
02:18:38.000Russian weapons flowed into Syria and were used by the Assad regime.
02:18:43.000Russian airstrikes degraded and diminished ISIS and other rebel forces.
02:18:48.000And Russia also opened up a naval base in the city of Tardis and also began opening up air bases and other military outposts.
02:18:58.000And these are some of the only Russian bases outside of Russian territory.
02:19:04.000So Syria is one of Russia's, if not the most important, client state for the Russian government, for its weapons.
02:19:14.000And the significance is that Syria was the first major conflict that Russia was able to successfully intervene in since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
02:19:26.000So that is the way in which Syria is important to Russia.
02:19:30.000The reason why it's important to establish this is to determine who benefits from the rebel incursion.
02:19:42.000It has significance for the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran because this compromises the supply chains that Iran uses to arm Hezbollah in Lebanon through Syria.
02:19:56.000And it affects Russia, and in particular their conflict in Ukraine, because it diverts Russian forces away from Ukraine and to Syria, because it would be a geopolitical disaster for Russia to allow the Assad government to fall.
02:20:30.000And it's related then to the conflict, the regional conflict that Israel is waging against Iran and its proxies, and it's also related to the war in Ukraine.
02:20:40.000Specifically, In the regional conflict in the Middle East and to me this is the most likely explanation.
02:20:58.000Notably, over the past several months, it is really focused on fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
02:21:04.000Israel has been bombing brutally southern Lebanon.
02:21:07.000They've been bombing the capital of Lebanon, Beirut, and in particular, the southern suburb of Dahiya, which is where Hezbollah is headquartered.
02:21:16.000As of I think it's September or October.
02:21:24.000Again, Hezbollah relies on Iran for support, and Iran sends its support to Hezbollah through Syria.
02:21:32.000Recently, Israel has not only been bombing Lebanon, but I said it last week, they've also stepped up the bombing campaigns in Syria.
02:21:41.000They've been bombing the Syrian-Lebanese border, and America has been bombing the Iraq-Syria border, the purpose of which is to isolate Hezbollah.
02:21:51.000America and Israel have been bombing Syria and those borders that Syria shares with Lebanon and Iraq to cut off the supply lines between Iran and Hezbollah.
02:22:04.000And the purpose is to isolate Syria and Hezbollah so they cannot be resupplied.
02:22:10.000So Israel's been waging this brutal war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the chief backer of Hezbollah is sending the support through Syria.
02:22:21.000Israel's been bombing Syria, and the timing is really interesting because, again, last week Israel made a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.
02:22:30.000Seems like it's falling apart already.
02:22:33.000Israel's violated the ceasefire agreement 107 times since Tuesday, which is six days ago.
02:22:41.000But nevertheless, Israel makes a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
02:22:53.000The deal is that Hezbollah will withdraw, and Israel will withdraw from southern Lebanon.
02:22:59.000A day after the ceasefire is brokered, a day after everybody agrees to it, suddenly a new front opens up against Syria in the north, in Aleppo.
02:23:15.000So the theory is that Israel backed the opposition by sending them intelligence or arms or certainly by degrading Hezbollah and Syria with airstrikes over the past several weeks so that they can open up a new front against Syria to either topple Assad or to divert Assad's forces or degrade those supply lines so that Hezbollah cannot replenish itself while the ceasefire is in effect.
02:23:50.000Either Israel is seeking to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat Assad and finally overthrow him, or Israel has prepared the way for this offensive again, and the rebels have thanked them for it.
02:24:07.000With airstrikes against Hezbollah and against Syria, they've cleared the way to divert Syrian forces as well as hurt those supply lines so that Hezbollah remains isolated in this interim period before Trump takes office.
02:24:24.000The other notable idea, how this relates to the conflict in Ukraine, is to tie it to recent developments between Russia and the West.
02:24:35.000The other conspicuous timing of all of this is that the United States is ramping up its efforts against Russia.
02:24:43.000We talked two weeks ago about how Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles to hit inside of Russia.
02:24:52.000So Ukraine has been using American attack arms, British storm shadows, as well as French long-range missiles deep inside of Russian territory, hitting ammunition depots and other bases.
02:25:06.000And we talked about when that decision was made, the purpose of that was to maintain the bridgehead that Ukrainian forces have established in the Kursk region.
02:25:17.000The Ukrainians actually invaded Russia and now hold a small piece of territory inside of Russia.
02:25:25.000And the goal of taking the handcuffs off of Ukraine on those weapons systems is that it will defer Russia's recapture of that territory until after Trump takes office.
02:25:38.000And as long as that bridgehead is established, it will make it more complicated and more difficult for Trump to broker a deal such that he will either not be able to make one before the inauguration or weeks or months after the inauguration.
02:25:54.000That there is now a new offensive in Syria would seem to suggest that maybe this is part of a maximum pressure campaign, not against Hezbollah, but against Russia.
02:26:08.000In the same way that Ukraine's use of long-range missiles diverts Russian forces away from the eastern front and towards the north, towards this bridgehead in Kursk, and the offensive in Kursk had the same purpose, Opening up this front in Syria diverts forces away from Ukraine entirely, and Russia will have to send reinforcements to Syria.
02:26:35.000Like I said, Syria is an important client state of Russia, maybe the most important client state.
02:26:42.000Russia's intervention in the Syrian civil war had major geopolitical significance.
02:26:47.000This was Russia's triumphant re-entry onto the global stage.
02:26:52.000It was the first time that Russia projected power into another region since the end of the Cold War.
02:27:03.000As such, they have established a significant military presence there.
02:27:06.000That's all contingent on Assad remaining in power in Syria.
02:27:11.000Russia cannot allow the Assad government to fall.
02:27:15.000So maybe the rebel forces will be repelled from Aleppo.
02:27:19.000Maybe they won't topple the Assad regime.
02:27:22.000But Russia can't afford to take chances and Assad probably can't repel the rebels without Russian support.
02:27:29.000Russia will have to divert some of its forces away from Western Africa, away from Ukraine, and will have to send them into Syria, at least for the time being, as long as there is this reignited conflict, as long as the civil war is unfrozen.
02:27:50.000And that is to the benefit of Ukraine directly, but also of the NATO alliance broadly, because with Trump coming into office, he will be looking to make a deal with Russia.
02:28:02.000The Democrats and the intelligence agencies and the Pentagon are fearful that Trump will give it up.
02:28:09.000I don't think that's the case, but that's their concern.
02:28:13.000Regardless, both the incoming Trump administration and the Biden administration are in effect pushing a maximum pressure campaign as Ukrainian forces are depleted.
02:28:24.000So are the attackums, storm shadows, the offensive in Aleppo, the color revolution in Georgia, which is taking off now, are all of these moves meant to engage Russia on many different fronts?
02:28:44.000The third idea is that this has to do with Turkey.
02:28:50.000Turkey benefits from this because Turkey was maybe the last major power to fight in Syria.
02:28:56.000Turkey launched a series of interventions from 2018 to 2020, invading Syria to control Syria's border with Turkey.
02:29:08.000And in part, people believe that Erdogan has ambitions to reestablish the Ottoman Empire.
02:29:15.000So it is literally about seizing territory.
02:29:20.000Erdogan, the leader of Turkey, is also concerned about the Kurds on their border.
02:29:26.000And Erdogan is a sworn enemy of Assad.
02:29:29.000So the other theory is that Turkey, who is allied with some of the rebels that are working hand in glove with HTS in this offensive in Aleppo, might be seeking to topple the Assad government or more likely is pushing this offensive in order to make might be seeking to topple the Assad government or more likely is pushing this offensive in order to make a new deal with the Assad regime, either to take territory, to send over the border some of the
02:29:58.000That Erdogan would like to send home or to make some other kind of negotiated settlement.
02:30:04.000But some people believe that this is really a Turkish backed maneuver.
02:30:08.000And I would argue not to be simple, but I think it's probably all of the above.
02:30:16.000Turkish backed rebels participated in the offensive.
02:30:20.000So clearly Turkey is playing some kind of role.
02:30:26.000Turkey signed the agreement back in 2020 with China and Russia to freeze the current battle lines.
02:30:33.000So this violation of that agreement and the participation of Turkish-backed rebels signals that Turkey had some hand, their intelligence services, And certainly their government had to agree to it in this offensive.
02:30:53.000Clearly, the United States gave approval for this operation because Turkey is a NATO member.
02:30:59.000Turkey is also negotiating with the United States to purchase F-35 fighter jets.
02:31:05.000That's been in negotiation for a long time.
02:31:07.000Maybe that was part of it as well, to earn back some support from the United States.
02:31:13.000Clearly, Israel is involved in Israel's been allied with these groups.
02:31:19.000And whether it's just with airstrikes or something else, at the minimum, Israel cleared the way for the offensive with its repeated and escalating airstrikes against Damascus and against the Syrian border in the past several months.
02:31:35.000To the extent that Ukraine and other NATO countries are involved, seems less likely.
02:31:41.000I imagine that Ukraine is preoccupied with its own war, but Ukraine is allied with HTS.
02:31:48.000And maybe some of the other Western governments had a role.
02:31:53.000Some have said France played a role in this.
02:32:09.000Maybe this was the incentive for Israel to sign the ceasefire.
02:32:13.000Biden badly wanted a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah before he leaves office so that he can have as part of his legacy that this diplomatic breakthrough happened under his watch.
02:32:29.000Israel was very reluctant to make peace.
02:32:34.000And so maybe the agreement was that if Israel stopped fighting Hezbollah for two months and waited for Biden to leave office, in the meantime, the United States would give approval for a move that would cut off the supply lines so that Hezbollah could not grow stronger in the interim the United States would give approval for a move that would
02:32:54.000If Israel is bombing the border, if the United States is bombing the border, and if Iranian weapons can't get into Hezbollah so that they could restock on rockets, maybe that was part of the agreement.
02:33:05.000At the same time, the high-pressure campaign is clearly underway.
02:33:09.000The long-range missiles being used in Russia, a color revolution, like I said, which we might discuss this week, that is underway in Georgia.
02:33:18.000It seems like very clearly they are pursuing a high-pressure campaign against Russia as Ukraine is in the middle of this manpower crisis and with Trump coming into office signaling that he's looking to accommodate Russia.
02:33:34.000So it seems that each part can be true.
02:33:39.000The United States had to give approval.
02:33:41.000Israel, at the minimum, made this possible with airstrikes and their intervention in Lebanon.
02:33:47.000So I would point to an all of the above answer.
02:33:51.000I don't think there's any reason that each of these are mutually exclusive.
02:33:56.000But this is just another instance where, like I said last week, this is the beginning, if it's not started already, of a truly global conflict.
02:34:10.000This is your regional war in the Middle East.
02:34:13.000You now have not only this fight in Gaza, but you also have a new Yemen war, which stopped in 2020.
02:34:23.000Syrian civil war has been reignited again, which stopped in 2017.
02:34:28.000You have Iran and Israel trading fire, which has never happened before.
02:34:32.000It's a fully regional conflict in the Middle East.
02:34:36.000Then, of course, you have Russia's fight with the West and Ukraine, which spread into West Africa and is also now bleeding over into Syria and the Caucasus too.
02:34:45.000The next step is if or when the United States confronts China.
02:34:55.000If there's a fight with Taiwan or over Taiwan, I should say, then the entire world becomes a battlefield.
02:35:05.000So this these are the emerging fault lines and contours of a global war.
02:35:12.000It's not a good sign that things are getting less stable and not more stable because it's pointing towards total instability, global conflict, and at the end of it, there will emerge a new world order, new fault lines, new superpowers, new hegemon, So we'll see.
02:37:42.000I mean, the ending was kind of good because, you know, Trump just totally took control in the relationship with Roy Cohn, but the whole thing was a hit job.
02:37:56.000The whole thing was just like a resistance liberal Stephen Colbert fantasy.
02:39:55.000BLM showed up calling them white supremacists and they gave, they were so terrified that the main guy, Kurt Doolittle, pissed his pants and they gave the mic to BLM for BLM to yell at them and call them racist and stuff.
02:40:10.000And, uh, And ever since then, it was just, it was over.
02:40:17.000Their main YouTuber, this guy named John Mark, just quit.
02:41:46.000And a lot of the things I say on the show, I say them in a provocative way, but there's a good reason behind it, and it's an understanding that I've developed being a part of this for a long time.
02:42:01.000And, you know, this is one of those things.
02:42:03.000When you've been in the movement for a long time, you see the, there is an element from the country.
02:42:20.000There are like genuine skinheads and genuine, you know, neo-Nazis out there.
02:42:30.000And they are just like not that smart.
02:42:35.000They are just like vulgar, not that smart, low class.
02:42:41.000And, you know, look, there's a fine line between there is a nobility in work.
02:42:48.000I'm a big believer in the trades and things like that.
02:42:53.000And some of those people can be decent and But look, a lot of people are poor because they just don't have, they're not that smart and they don't have a lot of skills.
02:43:45.000You know, Thomas Jefferson believed that farmers were better because there's an inherent dignity there.
02:43:52.000In working the land and in work and that's how God intended us to be.
02:43:57.000And to live in harmony and to be a laborer.
02:44:02.000And the communists thought something similar.
02:44:05.000That there's something just about working for your keep and how capitalists don't actually work or aren't entitled to the fruits of their investment or their risk or inheritance.
02:44:20.000And But that is, in both cases, actually a liberal view.
02:44:27.000And now you have conservatives because of this new working class populism, whatever you want to call it.
02:44:33.000They look at people that are dependent on welfare as good people.
02:44:39.000They look at people that are retail workers or service workers as working class.
02:45:23.000A farmer who has to know the land and work the land and wake up at the crack of dawn and, you know, has to kind of be a hustler and, you know, There's a lot of skill that goes into being a farmer.
02:45:38.000A lot of different kinds of skill and physical work.
02:45:43.000Working at 7-Eleven is not the same thing.
02:45:47.000Clocking in at 7-Eleven and dispensing gas and cigarettes and scratch-offs is not the same as being a farmer or a factory worker.
02:45:58.000Someone who works at 7-Eleven and then does whippets in the parking lot after their shift...
02:46:09.000It's not the Yeoman farmer, the Jeffersonian farmer that would form the basis of a Republican confederacy.
02:46:20.000And so now Republicans have the same kind of communist attitude towards the poor where they look at every poor person and say, you're a good person.
02:49:44.000You know, so there is certainly a pressure to get rid of them.
02:49:48.000On the other side, you start getting rid of millions of workers, you are going to have an economic contraction.
02:49:58.000So one side of the equation is, yeah, they're absorbing a lot in services and it's hurting the cities.
02:50:08.000The other side of that is the firms need them.
02:50:12.000If they start getting deported and firms have to pay more for labor and firms start closing down and then they're not paying taxes, You're going to get inflation.
02:50:25.000You're going to get a shortfall in tax receipts.
02:50:32.000If people aren't making capital, if there's not capital gains, and if the government doesn't have capital gains tax, that's a big problem with this debt crisis coming up.
02:50:44.000If labor costs go up, that's really going to hurt people.
02:50:49.000The Fed's efforts at getting inflation down.
02:50:52.000So you're really only looking at one side of it.
02:50:56.000And as you know, when it comes to the economy, there's many different variables.
02:52:02.000And that's why they're talking about deporting them.
02:52:06.000But if they deport one million people, two million people, you know, in a very short period of time, if by the end of the administration they deported a million per year, two million per year, if they get, in other words, if they get anywhere close to what anyone would consider a mass deportation, it is going to hurt growth.
02:52:41.000Because they recognize it's a debt crisis.
02:52:43.000That is really, in terms of the economy, the main problem.
02:52:48.000So I don't think they're gonna do anything that's really gonna hurt growth, anything dramatic, and that includes deporting many millions of people.
02:53:19.000Yeah, I think there's something to that.
02:53:21.000I think that, well, having an economy that is 85% services, I think you can kind of see how that's affected politics in the sense that service workers, because they don't own capital, because they don't work with capital, I think they lean more towards a technocratic society.
02:53:47.000I think that's why we're getting like a renter society.
02:53:51.000When they talk about you'll own nothing and be happy, to me that is kind of the natural politics of somebody that has a service job.
02:54:02.000Somebody that lives in a big city, somebody that takes public transportation, somebody that rents or shares an apartment.
02:54:13.000In the same way that a farmer or a pre-industrial society would have a mind towards shared ownership or a workers' collective or something like that or a co-op.
02:54:29.000I think that if you're living in a city, taking the metro, taking the bus, you live in an apartment, that kind of tracks with, own nothing and be happy.
02:55:08.000Although, with that being said, I mean, Germany still has industry, but in these countries like Netherlands or Norway, Denmark, you're getting democratic socialism.
02:55:21.000So I guess that would be the politics of a service economy where they don't make stuff anymore.
02:58:18.000Maybe not you, but yes, for a And I think there is this deep dissatisfaction.
02:58:26.000There's like a deep shame that comes with that.
02:58:29.000I think a lot of men, that's why a lot of married fathers don't like me because they go, this little shit, this young man, this young little shit, he doesn't know what the world's really like.
03:00:04.000I like being able to eat McDonald's all the time and not have to, you know, sit at the dinner table with my hands folded and talk about my daughter who's a cheerleader and whatever.
03:00:49.000If a woman decides to be an obstinate bitch, if she's not attracted to you, if she just turns into a completely different person once you have kids or once you get married, you're just fucked.
03:01:02.000And if you protest too much, she will take all your stuff.
03:01:47.000And yet, many traditional conservative Christian men find themselves in this position.
03:01:54.000Many women who were traditional Christian women, by virtue of TikTok or their friends or a biological change or a lifestyle change, will go off the reservation and, It's because of the society that we live in.
03:02:45.000Get trad married with trad kids and be a trad guy.
03:02:49.000And if anybody has any kind of a problem with that, no matter how legitimate, oh, they get called gay, childless, incel, tiny penis, whatever.
03:03:55.000Consciously and unconsciously, people know it.
03:03:58.000And I don't know how to cope with that.
03:04:00.000I mean, I feel like the best case scenario, the only way to survive this is like, look, you have to get married off the books.
03:04:10.000And, you know, that means either a legal architecture, like a prenup, or some kind of contract, or you don't tell the state you're getting married, you know, but that comes with its own problems.
03:04:22.000Maybe some form of communal living, like you either have an intentional community, or, you know, you get a bunch of people together and you all live in one building, or you all live in one something, right?
03:04:35.000There are a lot of social problems right now.
03:04:40.000There are a lot of societal problems right now.
03:06:17.000So, you know, we're telling young men, Charlie Kirk and others are saying, get married young, have more kids than you can afford.
03:06:25.000They're saying, hey, horny, hormonal teen males, make a life-changing, permanent decision with women, with no legal protections, a decision that you are clearly influenced by other factors outside your control.
03:06:48.000It's not a hospitable environment for males, not legally or socially.
03:06:54.000And you have people like me saying, well, let's just tread carefully.
03:07:00.000In an ideal society, we would get married as teenagers because that's when we're fertile and that's when we have the least mutational load.
03:07:33.000Was that boy who his mother tried to transition him into being a tranny and the dad said no and the courts gave custody of the son to the mother and they just finished that and the mother's going to get custody and she's going to chemically castrate the boy.
03:08:19.000But, you know, we do need to have kids.
03:08:22.000But I'm out here saying, look, if a woman is not down with you being a macho man when you are dating, she will run your shit for the rest of your life.
03:08:34.000And if you try to resist, she will ruin you.
03:09:57.000Especially, it's irresponsible when you tell men to be a simp because everyone knows that love, like anything else, like any other human affair, is war.
03:10:16.000If the man isn't being a man, if you don't start on the right foot, you never correct it.
03:10:22.000If a man doesn't lay down the law, and look, don't be a freak, you know, don't be a dick, but like, if you are not an independent male, if you don't put a woman in her fucking place when you're dating and after the wedding night, she will run your shit forever.
03:11:19.000They don't have a say over all my stuff and my kids, and they don't have control over my sex life.
03:11:29.000If you have a male best friend and you sign a contract and say, hey, my male best friend is entitled to half of my stuff and my male best friend gets to say if I get to have sex or not, then it's comparable.
03:13:07.000In the old days, it wasn't a problem because divorce just wasn't a thing.
03:13:11.000And if it happened, there had to be an extraordinary circumstance and And it was, the women were totally subordinate to men, but it's not like that anymore.
03:13:21.000And there was also a culture against it.
03:14:55.000When you have a mental breakdown or you're not strong or you freeze up or you lose an altercation with your neighbor, she gets the ick because women are primal.
03:15:49.000And women manipulate things with emotions and instincts and people and words.
03:15:58.000And women are masters of those levers and And in the same way that they can get a baby to stop crying, in the same way that they know just what to say, and they resolve conflict, and they can seduce a man, that's their weapon.
03:18:17.000Becoming a man means you're on your own.
03:18:22.000You know, when you're Leonardo DiCaprio in that movie, when he gets mauled by the bear, you can't go to your mommy and say, I got left for dead by everybody.
03:21:37.000Like, so wife guys are some of the best guys you'll meet.
03:21:41.000What's so emasculating is that you know that, you know, when you're talking to the man, you're talking to the household, the wife is really the head of the household.
03:25:53.000When I think about the reality that I'm going to die, I don't ever regret not being more famous so that I could be remembered making like Charlie Kirk level content or Jack Posobiec level content, you know.
03:29:41.000Nothing is beyond the Groyper reach, okay?
03:29:45.000So, look, I was supposed to have been defeated a long time ago when I said Jews hurt me in my daily existence in 2017. When I was deplatformed, I've had enemies on the right and the left.
03:30:00.000People have funded the, I think they're funding still the opposition to me.
03:30:04.000People thought when I went against Trump, that would be the end.
03:30:08.000I had 76,000 people watching on the night of the election.
03:31:11.000So again, whether we're loved, whether we're hated, whether we're winning, whether we're losing, we have to be in it for the right reasons.
03:31:19.000Unfortunately, you know, we've seen a lot of people got filtered.
03:31:22.000A lot of people got filtered because they felt good supporting Trump and they forgot why we were here.
03:31:29.000You know, they said it feels good supporting Trump.
03:31:32.000It doesn't feel good going against him.
03:32:09.000Imagine if someone told Hitler, imagine if someone gave Hitler a crystal ball and said, you will be defeated, you will be hated, Germany will be destroyed on both sides.
03:32:21.000What do you think, what would Hitler do?
03:32:23.000Do you think Hitler would say, oh, well, I guess I just give up.
03:32:28.000I'd like to believe Hitler would still have done everything exactly the same way.
03:32:33.000Maybe he would have rethought some of the strategies or something.
03:32:46.000I'd like to believe in a Hitler that when he looks at a crystal ball and sees the defeat and the infamy and the ignominy, I'd like to believe that he looked at the crystal ball...
03:35:36.000You know, read Man's World magazine written by a raw egg nationalist fucking bald nigg from England who supported Trump and its trannies in the magazine.
03:35:47.000Are you going to go to Sovereign House and hang out with trannies?
03:36:50.000J.D. Vance has a Thanksgiving with all Indians.
03:36:54.000No, wait, not like those Indians, the other ones.
03:36:58.000The first Thanksgiving, white men and Indians, and they sat around the teepee with their legs crossed, and they ate corn.
03:37:08.000J.D. Vance is the only pilgrim at Thanksgiving, and they're the real Indians, the real Indians that Columbus thought he met, real Indians.
03:37:20.000Dude, Indians that are eating curry and riding elephants, Thanksgiving featuring curry and elephants, and there's a hundred of them, and there's three pilgrims.
03:38:26.000You know, look, if you still are in favor of Plymouth Rock and Columbus and fucking America and Jesus Christ, then you're with the Groypers.
03:38:37.000You're not with the Jewish-controlled Indian right.
03:38:42.000You're not with Shell Nadelson and Vivek and Usha and Cash, who, you know, you can only imagine.
03:39:04.000That's your all-American Thanksgiving.
03:39:06.000It's Thanksgiving at the end of November and we're all outside and it's sunny and we have folding tables and we're barbecuing and there's two white guys and a hundred Indians in traditional dress.
03:46:23.000This girl I was friends with said she actually just did it.
03:46:28.000She took the initiative and did it without even asking me.
03:46:31.000She asked the head of the CRs if I could give a speech at the beginning of the meeting because I was recruiting volunteers for the campaign, which I was.
03:49:49.000You run a local thing and You bring your people out to volunteer for the congressional candidate or the whatever the fuck, and they give you a job.
03:49:59.000And then it's off to the races, you know?
03:50:02.000If you want to be a politician, try and get a law degree, do the same stuff.
03:52:48.000We banned all talk of Elliot Rodger in 2027. How Andrew Torba's inquisitors have jailed you for a meme.
03:53:00.000How the tables have turned, you know, and the neo- In the Neo Vance presidency, when Vance declares himself emperor for life, Andrew Torba's inquisitors will ban you from X for posting Elliot Rodger memes.
03:53:17.000We'll pray for the days of Mark Zuckerberg and Linda, what was her name?
03:53:58.000With the will and the foresight and the instincts that can do it.
03:54:03.000You're so right. - Abolish democracy sent $20.
03:54:06.000A serious statement needs to be made about political hijacking.
03:54:08.000For example, Jews hijacking mega, hashtag ban the ADL getting hijacked, Tommy Robinson hijacking the riots, the young turk slash media slash Silicon Valley hijacking the right wing, et cetera. - Yeah. - Jack Gabriel David Hennington sent $5.
03:54:21.000How long do you think Karania in South Africa will last?
03:54:23.000Their project fills me with optimism, but I'm also worried they will be nuked by the blacks in 10 years.
03:55:14.000They either need the ability to resist the South African government with, like, missiles and tanks and stuff, or they need to be a protectorate of a more powerful government.
03:58:06.000And I'm different than them because I'm not like an intellectual, intellectual, where they're looking at data and they trust the science and they're like, you know, whatever.
03:58:23.000We are offering, I think, a reasonable elite pushback against populism because it is definitely true that you could say the populist element has gone too far and it has made the right wing low and unskilled and credulous.
03:58:48.000There's definitely an excess of that now.
03:58:52.000You know, this conspirator Q stuff, other crazy stuff.
03:58:58.000And that is being steered now by people like Vance and Teal and others.
03:59:04.000And I think that Hanania and Keith and Spencer, Charles Johnson...
03:59:11.000I don't even agree with that group on everything.
03:59:14.000Me and Keith fight about vaccines all the time.
03:59:17.000Keith thinks the vaccines are safe and effective.
04:04:24.000Nick calls wife guys and simps gay retards.
04:04:27.000Wife guys see the bout it to the point where they make wife endorsed fan fictions and gay porn edits to all the grow wipers instantly vindicated for eternity.
04:08:33.000that thank you for that imagery dollars tried to casually red pill my christian fox news parents with a clean brick memo slash osp talmud lobbying etc now even my pro-palestine lib siblings are calling me a nazi lol so unwilling to take off the chum bucket helmets themselves maybe a draft would yank them off i'd stop trying to red pill your family denario sent ten dollars 10 from denario seems like a nigga can even focus on non-political business without detractors making some gay fanfics
04:19:57.000Because all these, basically the way the economy is, it's been this way for 20 years now.
04:20:04.000With free money, like it was free to borrow money with that in mind.
04:20:10.000And so now you're having a lot of structural problems with higher interest rates, like for the government on servicing the debt and like for businesses, all these investments into some of these risky tech businesses, commercial real estate.
04:20:33.000So, you know, a lot of people are talking about how Trump wants to take some of the Federal Reserve's power from it through Treasury.
04:20:42.000They think Scott Bessent will do that.
04:20:45.000But I don't think they're going to end the Federal Reserve, but they're trying to end the autonomy of the Federal Reserve, because technically the Fed is not part of the government.
04:20:53.000Christine in Ohio sent $5, so off the subject.
04:20:55.000Have you given much thought to the flat earth theory?
04:20:57.000I never did before, but the more I see, the evidence is pretty compelling, and the Bible talks about it 133 times.
04:23:38.000That's just, you know, until there is a post-scarcity world, which may be possible if there's AI and robotics, although I think that's overblown, but if that's possible, then there'll be no really poor people.
04:23:54.000But there will always be people with less and those with more.
04:23:58.000We'll always have those with less and those with more, and that's because people are unequal, and people will maximize their...
04:24:57.000It's not about hating anybody, but if we're trying to build a movement that is competitive, that is to say, has a chance of succeeding, we need the best people, and the best people tend to be good at making money.
04:25:11.000And, you know, maybe they're not rich or super rich, but they're not helpless.
04:25:16.000People that are poor tend to not have high aptitude, tend to not have certain skill sets, tend to be, you know, and many of them do have a bad attitude.
04:25:28.000Many poor people, not all, but many poor people really are just helpless. um And that's a problem if you're trying to do extremely complex things.
04:29:14.000My main takeaway from today's monologue is realizing that there are a lot more Muslim groups and sex that are allied with Israel than you would expect.
04:30:02.000Whether or not we have kids is a political problem.
04:30:08.000So yeah, I just disagree with the idea that it's more of an imperative for a small number of people to have kids and kind of do their part than it is for a small number of people to make their priority taking over the government or something like that.
04:30:24.000Corporate America's choice on whether you can clone yourself Or not $77.775 Choose the right woman is yet again another means at which society Is pointing the blame at you instead of the poisonous structural issues Which need to be solved Dissidents can't afford to test drop This is not what the moment requires of us men True.
04:31:33.000these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy.
04:31:36.000You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
