00:00:20.000Very exciting, as I tweeted out, going to be some no holds barred tables, ladders, and chairs, submissions, falls count, anywhere on the show.
00:01:13.000Worski and JF, I love them, but, you know, boy, do they give us a challenge in the ratings.
00:01:18.000But nevertheless, we have an exciting show for you tonight.
00:01:22.000So many things going on in the news that that's probably an inappropriate gesture given what happened in the news today, but so many things to talk about.
00:01:30.000The big thing we got to get into is this school shooting.
00:01:33.000That's why it was inappropriate, the gesture, but another big school shooting this afternoon.
00:01:38.000And I don't say that in an excited way, but I say that because here's something interesting about this school shooting, which was Different than the Parkland shooting a couple of weeks ago.
00:01:48.000This one, you had the shooter who was armed with a handgun instead of a rifle.
00:01:53.000And in this case, you had a resource officer that was in the building that was able to engage with the shooter.
00:01:59.000And as a result, a lot less casualties.
00:03:12.000I'm debating whether or not I will do a recap stream after the debate or if I'll do a pre show stream before the debate because it will be at the normal time for the show.
00:03:23.000I think I'll probably do an after the show stream.
00:03:25.000But it should be a great time, so be sure to tune in.
00:03:29.000I'm not sure what his new one is, but if you just look up Baked Alaska, you should be able to find it.
00:03:33.000I think he's called the BA Experience now because his old channel got taken down.
00:03:39.000So we are very excited for that debate.
00:03:40.000I got to say, I expect to win handily.
00:03:43.000I watched Mike Tokes' debate with Richard Spencer, and even though Richard Spencer, I don't think he comes up with the best arguments for ethnic nationalism, even still, I think he won it pretty convincingly.
00:04:48.000So we want to be using the Streamlabs if you want to support the show, if you want to defund Google and that sinister New World Order machine.
00:05:08.000But with the housekeeping stuff out of the way, we got to get into this school shooting, which I think is so fascinating, not because of what happened here in the school shooting, which is, of course, tragic.
00:05:21.000Which is, of course, and we say this every time there's a school shooting, we can look at it politically.
00:05:27.000We can look at it the day that it happens, and we get to walk away from it.
00:05:31.000You see the notification on your phone, or at least I do, from the Associated Press or from BBC.
00:05:37.000You'll see it on your Twitter timeline.
00:05:40.000And you can choose whether you want to think about it a lot or whether it's not really so important to you.
00:05:45.000But the people involved, we have to always remember the people involved, they don't get to walk away.
00:05:51.000They don't get to think about it politically and then, you know, as though it's just a little part of politics and then walk away from it.
00:05:58.000The people that have been injured today, one of the girls is still in critical condition.
00:06:03.000One of the victims is still in critical condition, I believe, with a head injury.
00:06:08.000And she doesn't get to walk away from that the same.
00:06:10.000Her family doesn't get to walk away from that the same.
00:06:13.000Her classmates, Friends, family, the people in the community, they don't get to forget about it so easily.
00:06:18.000So, of course, whenever we talk about a shooting or any kind of a tragedy like that, we have to give it the gravity I think it deserves.
00:06:24.000I think each time we have to remember these are not normal acts of violence.
00:06:29.000These should never be seen as normal or purely political.
00:06:33.000We have to take a step back and look at them in their proper context, which is just horrible things that shouldn't be happening.
00:06:38.000But that said, and of course, we give our thoughts, we give our prayers to the two people who are injured and to the families and everyone involved.
00:06:46.000But To get into the meat of what happened today, so you had a shooting here, and it was at the Great Mills High School in Maryland.
00:06:54.000And so what happened was you had a 17 year old who went into the school with a handgun, and he shot a girl who was 16 years old.
00:08:51.000And the headline the next day, the headline the following day was Putin blames Jews for election meddling.
00:08:58.000Putin believes in Jewish conspiracy and all this crazy stuff.
00:09:02.000And we said the story was not the comments.
00:09:03.000The story was not what was said or even the election interference.
00:09:07.000The story was that this is demonstrably a case of the media lying to your face, of the media saying one thing, totally different, totally distorted from what actually happened.
00:09:17.000And here again, we see another perfect, crystal clear instance of this where you have a mass shooting.
00:09:23.000And by all, by every measure, this shooting should have been covered like the Parkland shooting.
00:10:52.000The activists are still out there getting the celebrity treatment.
00:10:55.000And yet, we look at an incident like this.
00:10:58.000And we look at an incident, for example, like the Halloween terrorist attack in New York City when a terrorist drove through a pedestrian crosswalk and injured several people.
00:11:09.000And we see all kinds of stories like this where it does not fit the narrative and it doesn't last a day.
00:11:15.000You didn't hear about this three hours after it happened, let alone two weeks, three weeks, four weeks.
00:12:06.000And thank God for, I guess, the internet.
00:12:08.000Thank God for social media that these days it's become harder and harder and harder for the media to dictate, for them to act as a monopoly in the gatekeeper of information, that if they don't report on it, nobody finds out.
00:12:23.000In this day and age, you go on Twitter, you go on Facebook, and you can get what's actually going on.
00:12:27.000But I think that just goes to show for everybody involved that it was never once about the shooting.
00:12:53.000We'll have a mass demonstration protest for gun violence in D.C. on the 24th.
00:12:59.000There will be another mass protest on April 20th, and that's to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Columbine shooting, which should be being talked about, right?
00:13:08.000The hot button issue of the day is gun violence, school shootings, and yet it's not in the media.
00:13:59.000When they say an assault style rifle or a military grade rifle, these are.
00:14:03.000Arbitrary aesthetic distinctions, which liberals use to say it's a big scary gun as opposed to maybe a wooden hunting gun.
00:14:11.000This shooting was perpetrated with a handgun.
00:14:13.000And of course, the liberals are not going to come right out with handgun bans or anything related to handguns because, of course, that would betray their true intention, their true motive, which is subtle, gradual, slow and steady, creeping gun control.
00:14:28.000Right now, they're going for semi automatic weapons ban and semi automatic regulations and mental health and raising the age.
00:14:35.000To procure a firearm and background checks because these are all things that poll well.
00:14:39.000Because these are all things that won't cost them in the midterms.
00:14:42.000These are all things that, if you're running in Montana as a Democrat, it's not going to cost you the midterm to back a handgun ban.
00:14:49.000If you're running for a midterm in Missouri, it's not going to cost you a midterm because you're advancing total gun control and revising the Second Amendment, which they would have to do if they want to go after handguns.
00:14:59.000So they go after the semi automatic weapon bans.
00:15:01.000And as such, this shooting is of no utility to them because, of course, this one.
00:15:07.000Was used by a handgun, or the shooter used a handgun, just like most gun violence in the country, by the way.
00:15:13.000If you look in Chicago, if you look in Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, St. Louis, the vast, vast, vast majority of gun crimes in the country are committed with handguns.
00:15:27.000You look at several other mass shootings this year, and they were also committed by handguns.
00:15:31.000And it makes you realize it's really not so much about shootings, it's really not so much about gun violence, so much as it is about semi automatic rifles, so much as it is about gun confiscation.
00:15:43.000And once you understand the Democrats don't really care about gun violence if it's committed with a handgun, they don't really care about school shootings so much as if it's committed by a handgun, and it's really more about the assault rifles, you really understand what the play is here.
00:15:57.000You really understand what the motivation here is here.
00:16:01.000They may do their marches, they may do their demonstrations.
00:16:04.000And I'm sure a lot of people out there who show up to these things have good intentions.
00:16:08.000I'm sure those people care about the lives.
00:16:11.000I went to one of the protests down in Chicago.
00:16:13.000I cared about the people's lives, and I think a lot of people there cared about the lives.
00:16:18.000There was a demonstration in my high school on the 14th where they did the mass walkout.
00:16:23.000I'm sure those kids, in some virtue signaling sense, maybe they purported to care about the lives.
00:16:29.000But those are the do gooders, the people that are putting up the money for these efforts, the people that are coordinating the media blitz.
00:16:36.000And the propaganda campaign, these people don't care about the lives they care about the automatic rifles, the semi automatic rifles.
00:16:42.000They want to disarm you, they want to take away your rifles.
00:16:47.000And then number two, what was peculiar about this one, why they definitely don't want it publicized, is because in this instance, what prevented deaths, what prevented actual casualties, and one person is still in the hospital in critical condition, so it's a little premature to say that there were no deaths yet, but the difference between 17 deaths at Stoneman Douglas.
00:17:10.000In Florida, and two injuries so far in Great Mills, Maryland, was a resource officer.
00:17:17.000The difference between a complete killing field, a complete kill zone, where somebody goes into a school and they just start firing on vulnerable, defenseless children and teachers, people who just at the end of the day had to use their own bodies as human shields, and a school where you had somebody who had a gun, where he had bullets going in the opposite direction, where he had a good guy with a gun, was able to stop this guy.
00:17:40.000So that's the other reason why they don't want to bring it up.
00:17:43.000And that tells you something, I think, really sadistic about the Democrats, about the left, about the mainstream press.
00:17:51.000Obviously, in this case, the resource officer, because he had a gun, because the school had an officer, and because the officer had a gun, it ended the mass shooting very quickly.
00:18:01.000It ended the shooting so that there weren't 17 people dead.
00:18:04.000There weren't 56 people dead like in Vegas.
00:18:07.000It wasn't dozens or tens or five or six or 10 people killed, it was two people injured.
00:18:13.000And the reason being is because he had somebody with the gun who was able to put a stop to it.
00:18:41.000And the only way to stop somebody with the gun.
00:18:44.000Is another gun, is a good guy with a gun.
00:18:47.000So the difference between what the Democrats are proposing and what the Republicans are proposing is the three to ten minutes between a resource officer being on the scene and a police officer who has to drive through traffic, who has to, first of all, someone has to notice.
00:19:04.000They have to get some kind of a squad car.
00:19:06.000They have to assemble some kind of a team, and then they send them in.
00:19:09.000And so the difference between the Democratic and the Republican response or prescription for these problems is a difference of ten minutes.
00:19:23.000And what's pernicious about this is that the Democrats see this.
00:19:27.000They see this example where it worked, where the Republican, the right wing solution worked exactly as was supposed to.
00:19:34.000That not only do guns in schools provide a deterrent, that if a shooter now sees what happened in this case, they think twice about shooting up a school again because they think, you know what?
00:19:44.000If I'm going to go out, if I'm going to carry out this vindictive act, but I'm going to face this kind of opposition, I'm going to think twice about it.
00:19:50.000If I'm going to go into a school and I'm just going to have my pick, if I'm this.
00:19:55.000Troubled teen, and I'm getting bullied at school by the jocks and by the teachers, and people are taking my lunch and they're giving me wedgies and everything.
00:20:03.000And I get to walk into a school, and there's just a whole cafeteria, there's a whole gymnasium, dozens and dozens of people, and I just get my pick.
00:20:11.000I just get a room with them for 10 minutes to rough them up before the cops show up.
00:20:16.000Who's going to have a second thought about that versus if you have a school where you don't know who has a gun, you don't know if the teachers have guns, you don't know if there's a resource officer?
00:20:26.000But then, additionally, in the event that a shooting does happen, And rightly so, people have pointed out that shooters will go into a school not just because it's vulnerable, but because they have a vendetta as well.
00:20:37.000But then they get into the school, and guess who's waiting for them?
00:20:40.000They're finding a teacher or a resource officer or somebody who maybe they don't have to have it on their hip.
00:20:46.000Maybe they don't have to have it in a holster so that they prevent the first shot or the second shot.
00:20:50.000But by the time they figure out and assess the situation, there's somebody on the scene with a gun to have real stopping power, real physical coercive power to respond to somebody with a firearm.
00:21:02.000And you saw in this instance, Somebody who solved the problem, who saved lives, unlike the resource officer at Stoneman Douglas, who didn't go in, who didn't go into the school.
00:21:11.000And he also had deputy sheriffs, three or four of them outside the school, who also didn't go in.
00:21:16.000And what's pernicious, what's evil about this, to arrive at the point, what is just downright sinister about this, is here is a solution which has been proven to save lives, proven to save innocent, vulnerable children's lives.
00:21:30.000We send them off to school, mom and dad send them off to school, they wave goodbye, they go on the school bus, and they head off to school, and they should be safe.
00:21:39.000And here's a solution to keep them safe.
00:21:40.000And the Democrats, the left, they don't want to talk about it.
00:21:44.000They're not going to put it on the news.
00:21:46.000They're not going to put any money behind this.
00:22:02.000We are more than ready to look at background checks, to look at mental health, to look at what you can do with semi automatic weapons, to look at what you could do with bump stocks.
00:22:12.000You know, if the language is good, you know, if we look at the language of the laws and given that there's not a lot of room for the judges or for the executive to distort it and enforce something bigger than the legislators intended, we are willing to look at all options on the table.
00:22:27.000But the left and the media, they will look at this shooting today and they don't care that lives were saved.
00:22:33.000They don't care that it wasn't semi automatic rifles and people could just as easily commit these crimes with handguns.
00:22:39.000They're going to bury this story, bury this relevant data point in the conversation because.
00:22:44.000It doesn't fit what they're trying to achieve politically.
00:22:46.000It doesn't fit their political agenda, which is to seize our firearms, to end the Second Amendment.
00:22:51.000And I think that should tell you everything you need to know about them, should tell you everything you need to know about the media.
00:22:56.000The media in particular, which the people running the media, they're not liberals, they're not Democrats.
00:23:05.000They have no allegiance to our country, they have no allegiance to our people, they have no allegiance to the people even watching their program, no allegiance to the truth, no principles.
00:23:16.000Where, whether it's the truth and they just wildly distort it, whether it's something like this, a data point that whether you think it supports the Republican position or the Democratic position, they're going to bury this example, bury this solution because it doesn't fit their agenda.
00:23:31.000And the media does this, and that should tell you everything you need to know about them.
00:23:48.000All they do is distort, and obviously to very sinister ends.
00:23:52.000So that was the Great Mill shooting, a tragedy, but thankfully one that was able to be mitigated, one that was able to be rectified, I think, in a good amount of time, where you had a resource officer who was there on the scene.
00:24:06.000Now, they say that in this case, there was a student who he was carrying out some vendetta.
00:24:11.000They say allegedly it was his former girlfriend or something that he shot.
00:24:20.000Verified that yet, but that was a rumor going around.
00:24:23.000Either way, you have somebody in the school with a firearm, and the only person necessary to stop it, the only person who can stop it, is somebody with a firearm.
00:24:31.000And so, thankfully, they were able to stop any other potential bloodshed.
00:24:44.000The other thing I want to get into this is not really news, but this is, I think, something we have to think about, something we have to reflect on, which is that today, Is the 15th anniversary of the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the aptly titled Operation Iraqi Freedom.
00:25:02.000The war in Iraq began today in 2003, 15 years ago, and I think it's a perfect day to reflect and look back on the war because here we stand at a crossroads.
00:25:14.000Here we stand in our country today looking down two divergent paths.
00:25:19.000I think we did this in 2016, but today, even more so.
00:25:22.000Two paths which are the internationalist route and the nationalist route.
00:25:29.000Today, it's a great example between Trump and the neocons, between Trump and people like John McCain, people like Lindsey Graham, people like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Bush, who continue to peddle for war.
00:25:39.000We look at our country today where we can head down towards more fiascos like this.
00:25:43.000We look at the current situation in the Middle East.
00:25:46.000We look at the current situation in the Pacific theater of war.
00:25:51.000We look at countries like Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, where we're all involved right now, we're involved in all of these countries right now.
00:26:00.000We're looking at other countries to be involved in, such as Iran, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, looking at a host of options in North Africa, the Middle East, and now even the Pacific.
00:26:14.000And then on the other side, we have a president, we have a movement which is stridently anti war, which we elected, at least the country did.
00:26:23.000But in 2008, Barack Obama was elected on the basis of we were going to end the wars.
00:26:28.000Enough of these silly international projects, these silly crusades for.
00:26:32.000The vaunted liberal democratic principles in foreign lands where we don't know the people, there's no American interest there, it only costs us blood and money.
00:26:41.000And we had a movement in 2008, and people obviously were skeptical of it, rightly so.
00:26:47.000In 2008, that under Barack Obama, they said, let's bring the troops home, let's end this silliness, we have no business there, let's build our own country.
00:26:55.000We had a terrible recession, jobs are leaving the country, the economy is doing terribly, let's build our own country and stop worrying about.
00:27:35.000And stop worrying so much about whether people in Baghdad, people in Kabul are going to be casting a ballot in an election and worry more about bridges.
00:27:44.000Worry more about factories, jobs, taxes, if people are doing well, the opioid epidemic, health issues for Americans, health care for Americans.
00:27:52.000And so I think now more than ever, it's an important time to look back and see and evaluate these two different courses.
00:27:59.000And obviously, we took a very important one in 2003.
00:28:03.000And I think there is a very good story today, which is kind of a good way to start.
00:28:08.000We heard today, and I'll read you this quote because I almost couldn't believe this.
00:28:13.000It was almost too perfect in terms of.
00:28:16.000What we talk about with regard to the Iraq war on this show, and what many people say about Iraq, and what many people say about our policy in the Middle East, what people say about our State Department, and about our foreign policy.
00:28:27.000Almost too perfect that this was reported today on Zero Hedge, 15 years after the start of the Iraq war exactly.
00:28:36.000So, this was during the Juniper Cobra joint military exercise with the State of Israel.
00:28:43.000Lieutenant General Richard Clark said the following.
00:28:46.000Quote, as far as decision making, it is a partnership.
00:28:50.000At the end of the day, it is about the protection of Israel, talking about the joint military exercises.
00:28:57.000And if there is a question in regards to how we will operate, the last vote will probably go to Zvika, who is an Israeli general, the head of the IDF's Aerial Defense Division.
00:29:08.000Washington and Israel signed an agreement which would see the U.S. come to assist Israel with missile defense in times of war.
00:29:14.000And according to an Israeli commander, quote, I am sure once the order comes, we will find here U.S. troops on the ground.
00:29:20.000To be a part of our deployment team to defend the state of Israel.
00:29:23.000And those U.S. troops who would be deployed to Israel are prepared to die for the Jewish state.
00:29:28.000Clark said, We are ready to commit to the defense of Israel anytime we get involved in a kinetic fight.
00:29:34.000There is always the risk that there will be casualties.
00:29:36.000But we accept that as every conflict we train for and enter, there is always that possibility.
00:29:41.000So we're told by a top general, the lieutenant general of the 3rd Air Force Command, he said that our American troops are prepared to die for Israel.
00:29:55.000In their training, they're prepared not only to die for a foreign country.
00:29:59.000I think it's kind of arbitrary that it is Israel, that any foreign country, our generals should say that we're going to send our brave, the best, and brightest of Americans, our soldiers, to die overseas for.
00:30:09.000But on top of that, he says that at the end of the day, the deciding vote in an operational capacity goes to a foreign military commander, goes to the IDF, goes to General Zvika, not exactly Anglo Saxon name there.
00:30:27.000I think that puts it all in perspective there.
00:30:29.000Our foreign policy for the last 15 years, I think that really puts it in perspective.
00:30:33.000Certainly, you see Israel as a major culprit of why we're in the Middle East, why we're in Iraq, why we're in Syria, why we're in Libya, why we're in Yemen and Afghanistan, and all over the Middle East.
00:30:45.000But I think you could also say similar things about why we're in South Korea, why we're in Japan, why we're in Germany, in Eastern Europe, why somebody was dying in Niger from our military.
00:30:56.000We see people all over the world dying.
00:31:00.000And I think Israel is responsible to a large extent in this particular example with Iraq.
00:31:05.000But I think this has defined the last 25 years of American foreign policy and the American defense policy, which is that we are willing to send our veterans, our volunteer army overseas in defense of, in service of foreign peoples.
00:31:38.000It's the expectation of America, of you and me and our neighbors, to send our sons and our brothers and our nephews and increasingly our daughters, if you could believe it, and our sisters and mothers in some cases, overseas into the worst areas of the world where the people have failed.
00:31:56.000Where, due to nobody else's fault other than the people in these countries, the country is terrible.
00:32:03.000Broken, it's dictatorial, there's horrible things going on, and we send our best, our bravest over there in these horrible conditions to get exploded, to get killed, to get their limbs chopped off, to get captured and tortured.
00:32:17.000We spend taxpayer money to the tune of trillions of dollars, foreign aid money to the tune of billions of dollars.
00:32:24.000And is the world grateful for all of this?
00:32:28.000They take our technology, they take our resources, they take our jobs, and the media, they slander us, they make fun of us, they call us fat.
00:32:37.000And ignorant and stupid, and they say they were the biggest threat to world order, and they make fun of our politicians, and on and on.
00:32:44.000And I think no better example of this was Iraq.
00:32:47.000And if we look back at what exactly was Iraq, people, especially my age, I think a lot of people don't even know why we're there.
00:32:55.000We look at these two wars in the Middle East, in Afghanistan and Iraq, and many people today, adults, but especially children, but I think it's really interesting that so many adults, it would be difficult for them to even tell you what these wars were about, what year they started, why they started.
00:33:11.000You know, some people will tell you they'll get Afghanistan and Iraq confused.
00:33:15.000I don't think many people could tell you the capital of these countries.
00:33:18.000Many people say we went into Iraq because of 9 11.
00:33:22.000People don't really know about Afghanistan, they couldn't point to it on a map.
00:33:26.000And so I think it's always interesting when we talk about these kinds of topics, when we talk about, we did an episode about Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago.
00:33:33.000It always strikes me as interesting before we begin any conversation about this, how we've spent so much in these countries in terms of American lives and in terms of money.
00:33:43.000And in how little import it has in the lives of Americans on their day to day routine.
00:33:50.000Most people, they don't even know what we're in there for, and yet we're spending their money, and yet we're, you know, many people know people who die in these wars, and we don't know where these countries are.
00:33:58.000We don't know what the capital is, and not like we're supposed to be geography experts.
00:34:02.000We don't even know why we're there in many cases.
00:34:04.000And in terms of my experience, I'm Generation Z.
00:34:07.000I was born in 98, and so I've been alive for almost my whole life.
00:34:15.000And I was five, six years old when we got involved in these wars.
00:34:17.000So, for people that don't know, we got into Iraq in 2003.
00:34:21.000This was two years after 9 11 in response to and in pursuit of three major goals, which was number one, to destroy weapons of mass destruction.
00:34:30.000This was obviously the most controversial one.
00:34:33.000The propaganda of the day, the propaganda that was manufactured by the Pentagon, that was manufactured by neoconservative intellectuals and politicians in the Pentagon.
00:34:45.000They said that Iraq and Saddam Hussein were in possession of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.
00:34:51.000And we had to go in there to destroy these stockpiles because otherwise they had it.
00:34:57.000Saddam Hussein would have a nuclear capability, would have a weapons of mass destruction capability, and he would be giving these weapons to terrorists.
00:35:04.000He might even use them in a state to state capacity against the United States or against other allies in the Middle East, other countries in the Middle East.
00:35:12.000And so we had to act in the interest of non proliferation to prevent these weapons from getting into the hands of other people to go and end it.
00:35:19.000And of course, spoiler alert, we went in and there were no stockpiles, there were no nuclear weapons, there were no biological weapons.
00:35:26.000They found some chemical weapons stockpiles, but then again, we find these all over the world.
00:35:31.000The second objective was to punish Saddam Hussein for his alleged role in 9 11, which of course turned out to be just an outright lie.
00:35:39.000The propaganda of the day after 9 11 was that Saddam Hussein and Iraq were principally involved in the 9 11 attack, that they were complicit in it, that they aided and abetted it, that they gave Al Qaeda safe harbor.
00:35:54.000The lies in 2001, 2002, and 2003 that were told that Iraq had had even a remote involvement in 9 11.
00:36:02.000Turned out all to be complete fiction, complete fabrication, completely manufactured by the Bush administration to get us into the war.
00:36:10.000Because, of course, you had a country that after the Cold War, they said, we're having a great time.
00:36:15.000After the Cold War, after 1991, economy is booming, technology is taking off, we're doing better than we ever have.
00:36:22.0009-11 happens, and suddenly we're under attack.
00:36:25.000Suddenly, the country that was the number one superpower, everyone's democratizing, it's the end of history, suddenly America's under attack.
00:36:33.000We have this new threat coming from Islam, coming from the other side of the world, coming from the Middle East, and now we have to respond.
00:36:39.000We go into Afghanistan, but we still got to find Osama bin Laden, we still got to hold those responsible.
00:36:45.000And so, a public which was scared, which was anxious, which was badly intimidated by the worst attack on U.S. soil in 70 years, they were lied into a war that they would have never otherwise supported.
00:36:58.000Because the war in the Middle East had no connection to 9 11, people wouldn't have supported a war for weapons of mass destruction.
00:37:06.000Little heated there, but in the 1990s, you had weapons of mass destruction proliferating in Pakistan and India.
00:37:12.000Israel got weapons of mass destruction in the 1960s.
00:37:15.000North Korea had weapons of mass destruction.
00:37:18.000All kinds of countries were working on them Iran, Libya, Syria, they were all building them.
00:37:23.000The American public would have never supported a war in Iraq if not for the fact that they were lied to, they were deceived, they were deliberately misled and told that Iraq and Saddam Hussein, you know, maybe has weapons of mass destruction.
00:37:38.000But the reason the American public was sold is because we were told, we were lied, we were misled and told that he had something to do with the Twin Towers.
00:37:45.000The 3,000 people, innocent people who died because the towers came down, they were just going about their daily lives.
00:37:52.000That had something to do with this bad guy all the way over there, and that's why we got to go in and bust him up.
00:37:57.000And the last objective, the last main objective, was, of course, the real objective at the heart of it all.
00:38:03.000They may have told us about weapons of mass destruction based on faulty intelligence, which the CIA knew was BS, but they.
00:38:09.000Went ahead with it anyway and was largely based on Israeli intelligence, which we're paying billions of dollars a year for.
00:38:16.000But the real reason at the core of it was not 9 11, it wasn't weapons of mass destruction.
00:38:20.000It was that you had a group of 25 to 30 intellectuals in the Bush administration, most of them Jewish, by the way, which is pointed out by Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, 25 to 30 neoconservative intellectuals who thought that we could build a democracy in Iraq.
00:38:40.000They fought these intellectuals from the Ivy League schools, these liberals, anti communist liberals who came over to the right wing in the 1990s so that they could shore up the defense of their homeland, of Israel.
00:38:52.000They came around and they said, let's build a democracy in Iraq.
00:38:56.000It turned out to be an ideological crusade.
00:38:58.000It had nothing to do with America's safety.
00:39:16.000Hey, and while we're over there, while we're depriving them of these terrible weapons which could kill you and your family in New York City, and they already did 9 11, while we're over there, Might as well build the democracy.
00:39:43.000Our answer, how we can cope with this, how we can move forward in a world where you're not sure if you're going to blow up on a bus or a subway or in a building, is we have to go in and fundamentally remake the world order.
00:40:00.000They said the only way that you could ever feel safe in your own country, the only way you could ever feel safe in your own neighborhood, forget about excluding Arabs from coming to the country, forget about surveilling mosques and the only kinds of people that commit these atrocities.
00:40:14.000The only way that you can ever feel safe in your own living room is if we go out there on these enormous, costly military expeditions and we bust up countries and we destroy them and we rebuild them with our own money.
00:40:28.000With our own men, with our own blood, and we pave a road to democracy in the Middle East, in Baghdad, with our own people and money.
00:40:37.000And of course, the broader, I think the more sinister thing underlying that was the ideologues that are the neoconservatives, the 25 to 30.
00:40:46.000When I point out that they're Jewish, that's not an arbitrary thing.
00:40:49.000It's not an anti Semitic thing either.
00:40:52.000It's not to say people are incapable of impartiality, but it is to say that we look at the people that were responsible for this war, where George W. Bush was not a major hawk.
00:41:03.000Here was this playboy, Texas oil man, billionaire, I mean, spoiled brat.
00:41:09.000But he was persuaded into this war by these 25 people, majority of them Jewish, majority of them intellectuals, who had a vested interest in the Middle East, a vested national security interest in the Middle East.
00:41:20.000The only thing is, interesting thing is, it wasn't our nation that they were concerned of in terms of national security.
00:41:26.000Of course, the country they were concerned about was Israel.
00:41:40.000They can't catch a break anywhere they go, so they have to have their own country.
00:41:44.000And we look at Israel, a country that in the 1950s and the 1980s and the 1990s was their express foreign policy that to secure the greater realm of Israel, to make sure that they were safe, because they went to war with an Arab coalition in 48, 56, 67, and 73.
00:42:00.000The only way to prevent against these kinds of catastrophic wars again is to make sure that the countries responsible for those wars.
00:42:08.000Don't have the capability to go to war anymore.
00:42:10.000And so they set out in our foreign policy establishment and our State Department to systematically undermine the capability of these Arab countries to make war with Israel.
00:42:20.000Look at every country in the Middle East today, and they fall into three categories.
00:42:24.000Either they're at peace with Israel, they're receiving billions of dollars from the United States to remain at peace with Israel, to shore up peace treaties with Israel, they have bilateral negotiations enforced by the United States either coercively or through money, they have been destroyed by the United States in neoconservative wars, or they're in the crosshairs.
00:42:42.000For United States neoconservative wars.
00:42:44.000Every single country in the Middle East falls under these three categories.
00:42:48.000In the first category, you have Egypt, you have Jordan, you have Saudi Arabia, you have the Gulf states.
00:42:54.000To an extent, you have Lebanon, which has been pacified, but obviously Hezbollah is there.
00:42:59.000In the second category, you have countries like Libya, Somalia, Iraq.
00:43:03.000You have Lebanon, which was destroyed in 2006 with the help of the United States.
00:43:07.000So, you know, even if they were relatively neutral, they were still destroyed.
00:43:57.000Expand to upwards of $6 trillion in the next 40 years because of benefits for veterans and winding down the war and all the rest.
00:44:04.000So you're talking about $6 trillion, 250,000 lives, 30,000 casualties combined with 4,500 deaths for Americans.
00:44:13.000And on top of that, that's not even taking into account all the spin off wars that we see in Yemen, that we see in Iraq.
00:44:19.000We're back there with ISIS and other possible engagements in Syria.
00:44:24.000And so the cost of the war has been enormous fiscally in terms of lives, in terms of our effort, our national focus electorally.
00:44:32.000And we achieved none of the objectives.
00:44:33.000The only objective we, I think we achieved, was that Israel is now safer.
00:44:38.000And here's why this is important to reflect on.
00:44:40.000Here's why that element is highly critical.
00:44:43.000You know, we're not, of course, we don't, of course, not all Jewish people are like this, of course, not all Israelis are like this, but we have to recognize that there is a very concerted effort in the country to pour our resources into these engagements.
00:44:55.000We're still in Iraq, we're still in Syria, we're still in Afghanistan, and now they want us to go into Iran.
00:45:01.000Now they want us to go even deeper into Syria.
00:45:04.000And it's important that 15 years later, after the war, we take a long, hard look at what was done in the Middle East, not just with our people and our money, but with their people in their countries, where we went in and we ruined our reputation.
00:45:16.000Whereas before, in the Middle East, we actually had a good reputation.
00:45:19.000People have it like, oh, they hate us for our way of life, and they've always hated us.
00:46:02.000Is it even doable to create a world that is safe for democracy and build democracies out of nowhere?
00:46:09.000In backwater, backwards third world countries, or is it time now to put America first, to bring the troops home and maybe enforce our own borders, maybe make sure that our own cities and towns and neighborhoods are liberated from gang violence and from drugs before we worry about going across the Atlantic Ocean, going into the Middle East, going into North Korea, going into Africa and worrying about other people's troubles when the people that pay the government's bills are suffering here?
00:46:35.000So it's time to take a long, hard look.
00:47:39.000Yeah, no, thank you for getting the money out of the hands of YouTube.
00:47:43.000But the only problem with GabTV is in order to stream on GabTV, you'd have to pay another, in order to stream, you'd have to pay more money.
00:49:00.000For a challenger for John McCain, however many years ago, I'm not sure what was the last year he was up for re election, but if somebody had voted for a less bad option instead of John McCain, we might have repealed Obamacare over the summer, right?
00:49:13.000And that's the difference between one candidate who was the worst of the worst, or a Jeff Flake, or a Lindsey Graham, or a, you know, any of these people.
00:49:21.000So I would say that absolutely it's worth it.
00:50:43.000I like the NRA only because Wayne LaPierre named the European style socialists, which I really liked, but I like them both.
00:50:53.000Nuevo Detroit says I'm certain that this Facebook Cambridge Analytica story is a nothing burger, but I can't help but root for something, bringing the Zuck monster down a few pegs.
00:51:03.000Should we all be deleting and logging off?
00:51:06.000No, because you've got to watch America First on Facebook, big guy.
00:51:12.000I haven't looked into it, I don't know how bad it'll be.
00:51:14.000They say that they could be charged $40,000 for every infraction, which they say conservatively would cost Facebook, quote, many millions of dollars, I read in BBC this morning.
00:51:28.000I don't even know what it means half the time.
00:51:29.000They say that this political analytics company improperly accessed, like, the data of 50 million people or something to that effect, which would be, like, a major infraction, and they would have to suffer major fines.
00:51:42.000And look, the Facebook shares dropped 8% yesterday.
00:51:45.000I think it was, like, 6% this morning.
00:51:53.000I hope it'll bring them down, but I mean, I think they're pretty invincible.
00:51:56.000Literally shaking says Nick, my guy, putting a MAGA hat on that Iraqi citizen to own the libs is the only way.
00:52:05.000I saw a based black D.C. congressman say that Israel is manipulating the weather, so maybe they can send rain bombs to their neighbors next time instead of my tax funded ones.
00:52:15.000That's a good super chat or a good donation.
00:52:19.000You know, we just got to go over there.
00:52:22.000In order to own the Libs, we have to kill innocent people in the Middle East and spend our money, and, you know, our brothers and nephews have to die to make a point to the liberals, right?
00:52:31.000And, you know, and time and time again, people are so steadfast in their opposition to Islam and to Middle Eastern countries, and yet the one they don't seem to have a problem with is the one that seems to be the biggest pariah, right?
00:52:54.000And Islam is evil and Muslims are evil and they have to be kept out.
00:52:58.000But the minute you start talking about the other country, the minute you start talking about the only country in the Middle East with a nuclear arsenal, an illegal nuclear arsenal, the only country in the Middle East which has sold our technology to China, the only country in the Middle East which spies on us as aggressively, if not more so, than China and Russia, the only country in the Middle East.
00:53:20.000To steal our uranium, to steal our nuclear infrastructure.
00:54:55.000I was offered the first thing when I met Cassie Dillon, and this is when I was discovered.
00:55:00.000When I was at Boston University, I debated their student body president in a very big public debate set up by the Young Americans for Liberty, I believe it was, about a month before the election at my school.
00:55:35.000It wasn't, you're going to work for this.
00:55:36.000Even though there were job offers on the table, she said, do you want a trip to Israel?
00:55:40.000I would love to arrange for you to have a trip to Israel.
00:55:43.000And hey, I became good friends with her.
00:55:46.000Elliot Hamilton from the Daily Wire, that sniveling yellow teeth coward, he called me up on the phone and said, You know, I want you to meet Ben Shapiro.
00:55:55.000I want you to come and meet Ben Shapiro.
00:55:57.000I think you'd really like to get along with Ben Shapiro.
00:55:59.000And he goes, I want to arrange for this meeting with Ben Shapiro.
00:56:24.000What's the deal with $3.8 billion to this country that it seems like all they do is mess with us?
00:56:30.000It seems like all they do is take our stuff, spy on our people, take our money with both hands.
00:56:35.000And, you know, they go back on us with that.
00:56:38.000I remember at the time, this is what really set me off Barack Obama allowed a resolution to go through the Security Council without vetoing it that allowed the Security Council to continue.
00:56:50.000To condemn Israel for building settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
00:56:54.000And you should have heard the kind of criticism from a foreign lobby, from a foreign country.
00:56:58.000And I said, you know, there's something off about that.
00:57:53.000But I think it's just got to happen gradually.
00:57:55.000I think, you know, necessarily what happens is.
00:57:58.000Excuse me, the more people that you bring over to the right wing, the more people that become conservatives, I think the more you'll have conservatives in business and media and all these other places.
00:58:09.000And also, I think we use the market against them.
00:58:11.000You know, you look at media, and Fox News is doing great, and everyone else is being punished, and social media companies are being punished in a big way.
00:58:18.000I think there's legislative solutions as well, specifically with social media.
00:58:24.000But these major mainstream news outlets, they're on the way out, and I think a lot of more populist ones are rising.
00:58:30.000Academia, it's a little bit more tricky, but I have to think that something similar has to happen with people just have to stop going to college and stop taking these classes.
00:59:10.000I had this fat idiot as a speech teacher my sophomore year in high school.
00:59:14.000This woman was, and I don't even want to be too nasty because she lives around me and she could probably sit on me and knock the wind out of me, crush my ribcage.
00:59:24.000But I had this teacher in my sophomore year and she was just absolutely this hippie dippy liberal.
00:59:33.000And I would go in there and I was pushing these like Bill Crystal, Irvin Crystal talking points.
00:59:38.000This is when I was like a faggy, like libertarian type of person.
00:59:41.000I'd be going up there talking about how minimum wage doesn't help people.
00:59:44.000And she would just rake me over the coals with this stuff.
00:59:47.000And I remember too, like, this was a speech class.
00:59:50.000It was called, well, I don't want to say the name of the class in case, you know, it gets out.
00:59:54.000But the class was, like, public speaking.
00:59:57.000And I happen to be kind of a good public speaker.
00:59:59.000Don't mean to brag or anything, but this is kind of my aptitude.
01:00:01.000And so I would go up and give a speech about, you know, boom, bam, all this stuff.
01:00:05.000And I would get B's and C's on these assignments because she didn't agree with me.
01:00:10.000And you'd have all these other real winners, real beauties go up there and, you know, oh, I think that, blah, blah, blah.
01:00:17.000And they'd get A's and A pluses, the women too.
01:00:37.000Most of the teachers are pretty even handed, I guess.
01:00:39.000I had a lot of problems with teachers, not so much because of their politics, but because I didn't do my homework and I fell asleep in class every day.
01:00:46.000You know, people are always like, Nick, What are you talking about?
01:00:49.000You weren't a good student in high school.
01:00:50.000I would think you were a great student in high school.
01:01:18.000I had to get bailed out my second semester of my senior year because I was getting an F. In one class, because I just completely neglected it.
01:01:36.000If I ever make it big, if I ever make a lot of money, I just can't wait.
01:01:39.000Because that's the really big thing I'm looking forward to.
01:01:42.000I don't even want to become successful because I care about money or anything, but because I just want to keep score and say, all these teachers who are so rude and they said, you'll never be nothing and all this stuff.
01:03:11.000The writing is on the wall for anybody who wants to see what's going on.
01:03:15.000It wasn't like I was indoctrinated or like they have it, the press has it, like you're incubated in a lair of hate.
01:03:25.000You're in a dark room and you're scrolling on Fortune Pole, like in that stupid television show, and you're watching racist, vile propaganda.
01:04:21.000These cultures, these histories are real.
01:04:25.000And we just have to have a realistic, a pragmatic way of looking at the world, not one that's blinded by ideology of egalitarianism and liberalism and democracy, but really have a sobering look at the world, which is if your country is less than 80% of a certain ethnic group, you're not going to have a good time.
01:04:42.000And if you have a multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural society, it's probably not going to work.
01:05:50.000We have one more, and then we got a call tonight.
01:05:52.000Willie Sackett says the biggest modern threats don't come from any state.
01:05:55.000They come from non state forces, be they insurgents, criminal syndicates, or unaccountable intelligence agencies not acting in the nation's best interest.
01:06:15.000But the coming anarchy talks about after the Cold War how you're going to see the world order break down, not along national lines in terms of states, but along, like you said, the lines of criminal syndicates, non state actors, terrorist cells, militant organizations, militias, insurgencies, things of this nature, even big tech companies, big multinational corporations, departments and agencies within governments.
01:06:40.000These are the new power centers in the 21st century, and this cannot be refuted.
01:06:45.000So when people talk about Russia is our enemy, Russia is the enemy.
01:06:52.000The real threat in the 21st century are these non state actors.
01:06:57.000And that's where the fault lines are being redrawn now.
01:07:00.000I think these are the real bad actors, the real bad apples these days.
01:07:04.000And you see a decentralization happening now that there's better communication, better transportation, better internet type of technology, cyber technology.
01:07:16.000You're seeing it that it's really having a destabilizing and decentralizing effect on power, where it's not so much.
01:07:22.000Whereas before, the state had a monopoly on these kinds of resources because the state had the most money, the state had the best technology, and for many different reasons, the state was the most powerful institution in society.
01:07:34.000Well, now power is decentralizing, it's going away from the state.
01:07:37.000And because you look at the advances in weaponry, the advances in communication, technology, transportation, et cetera, non state actors have an asymmetrical advantage.
01:07:46.000For example, whereas before, a terrorist group, it was like, good luck, good luck fighting against the U.S. government.
01:08:00.000In this day and age, you have dirty bombs.
01:08:02.000You have regular and more sophisticated bombs.
01:08:06.000In this day and age, you have people who can do cyber attacks.
01:08:09.000You can have terror cells that operate outside of the country and inside of the country, connected to people outside the country or inside, you know, and on and on and on.
01:08:17.000You have people who could just fly a plane into a building.
