00:00:35.000Last week we talked about a report in Axios too.
00:00:38.000But tonight, it's, in my opinion, a lot more newsworthy than last week's report.
00:00:44.000Tonight's new report from Axios is about the Trump administration and the final days after the election.
00:00:52.000And it talks about how the President of the United States, Donald Trump, gave an order on November 9th, 2020, to the U.S. military to pull all American troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries in the Middle East.
00:01:08.000And according to this new report, which is pretty groundbreaking, and based on reports from people that are familiar with what happened, and by the way, I've heard from people that I know in the White House that this is accurate, that the military leadership in the Pentagon said no.
00:01:28.000So November 9th, 2020, this is less than a week after the election, but Donald Trump is still the president of the United States.
00:01:36.000At this point, Joe Biden is not inaugurated, obviously.
00:01:41.000He hadn't even been named the president elect yet because the Electoral College had not yet voted, the elections had not yet been certified, and I don't even believe that all the states had called their elections, had said that they had counted all the votes yet.
00:02:01.000It doesn't even matter if Joe Biden's the president elect or not necessarily.
00:02:06.000What matters is that at this point in time, November 9th, 2020, Donald Trump is still the acting, sitting, President of the United States, and that makes him the commander in chief of the military.
00:02:17.000And so on November 9th, an order comes down to pull all American troops out of Afghanistan by January 15th.
00:02:26.000The president sends down an order on November 11th directly from the office of the president get all the troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries.
00:02:39.000And things get so busy, things get so hectic and chaotic between then and the inauguration that This is never followed through with.
00:02:47.000Nobody goes back to check on the progress of the military withdrawal.
00:02:51.000At this point, the president is consumed with looking at election fraud and overturning the fraudulent results of the election.
00:02:59.000But this is something that transpired in the final days of the Trump administration an explicit order to pull troops out of the region, and the military leadership said, no, we won't carry out this order.
00:03:11.000And so we'll talk about what's in this report.
00:03:13.000It's a bombshell, and it basically confirms what I have been saying for years.
00:03:20.000Which is number one, and this is the most obvious that the civilian leadership in government is not really in control of the government.
00:03:30.000Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, these people are not really in control of the government.
00:03:41.000The people that are elected, the people that are supposed to come and go with each passing cycle, they're not the ones that are really calling the shots.
00:03:52.000Rather than the civilian leadership of the state, it's the deep state.
00:03:57.000The bureaucrats, the agencies, the intelligence community, the military, it is the people that remain.
00:04:05.000Whereas politicians come and go with each cycle, it's the people that remain in the state.
00:04:10.000The people that are not elected, the people that are not up for election every other year, that don't have term limits, that you don't know their names.
00:04:17.000Those are the people that actually run things.
00:04:20.000Those are the people that make all the real important decisions.
00:04:27.000Something about the Trump administration, which is this.
00:04:30.000In spite of Donald Trump's best efforts to deliver on the reforms that he promised in 2016, it wasn't for a lack of trying that a lot of those things weren't followed through on.
00:04:43.000It's because the deep state thwarted him at every turn.
00:04:45.000He got in there, tried his best, put out orders and initiatives and all kinds of things, but at every turn he was stonewalled by the people that really run the government.
00:04:56.000So we'll get into that report pretty soon.
00:04:59.000I mean, it's outrageous, but it's not surprising.
00:05:02.000It's pretty outrageous that that goes on, and that's been confirmed now.
00:05:07.000We all suspected that, but here it is, and it's reported in mainstream media, confirmed by sources inside the White House.
00:05:15.000But it's outrageous that this is going on.
00:05:18.000We know that's how it goes, but it's a bombshell.
00:05:21.000We'll also be talking tonight about a commander in the Space Force who was fired recently because he wrote a book criticizing the military for being too liberal.
00:05:32.000And this is something that you're going to see more and more of.
00:05:35.000It's going to be military, police, and other government workers that are going to start to get purged because they're conservative.
00:05:42.000And we know that this started after the Capitol riot, the events of January 6th.
00:05:49.000They started to go through the National Guard before the inauguration and they vetted the National Guard to see what their political beliefs were.
00:05:57.000And they separated and singled out, I think it was four or so.
00:06:01.000White male National Guardsmen who were Trump supporters, maybe vocal online, and told them that they could not serve during the inauguration because they may pose a threat to public safety.
00:06:15.000And there was also a 60 day standout initiated by the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, to vet ideologically the military, basically, and to see who was an extremist, and then to throw those people out out of the National Guard, out of the military.
00:06:31.000And of course, the effect of all of that will be to create a state and a military that is totally.
00:06:36.000Totally monolithic in terms of their ideological views, with loyalty not to the people of the country, which may be liberal or conservative, but loyalty to the party, loyalty to the state, loyalty to this neoliberal ideology which runs the country.
00:06:55.000So it's a pretty bad precedent to set, but this is where we're headed.
00:06:58.000So we'll talk about those things tonight, kind of similar thematically.
00:07:20.000It's on every Friday at noon Central Time.
00:07:23.000Just had an episode last Friday, which should be up at NicholasJFuentes.com, which is a nice segue.
00:07:29.000If you go to NicholasJFuentes.com, you can subscribe for $10 a month and get access to all America First content.
00:07:37.000Every episode of this show, Every episode of Good Morning Groyper, gaming streams, interviews, debate streams, commentary, it's all up there.
00:08:01.000As of today, we have hit 500,000 views on our banned.video page.
00:08:07.000So if you've been paying attention, a little bit more than a week ago, we launched our own channel on the Alex Jones Infowars video streaming site called banned.video.
00:08:19.000We've been there for, I think, just over a week.
00:08:22.000We've posted maybe a dozen videos and we've already hit 500,000 views, which to my knowledge is like some of the best viewership I've ever gotten on videos.
00:08:32.000That's better viewership than I got on DLive.
00:08:36.000And some of those videos have better viewership than I ever got on YouTube.
00:08:40.000I got banned on YouTube a year and a half ago.
00:08:43.000And for reference, YouTube has 2 billion users, okay?
00:08:47.000There are 2 billion people that use YouTube or have a user profile that they access on a monthly basis.
00:08:55.000And on YouTube, and by the way, this is a year and a half ago.
00:08:58.000When I was on YouTube, I think the highest rated video that I had ever posted was, I think it had 100,000 views.
00:09:08.000And we have a video on banned.video, which doesn't have a billion users.
00:09:14.000I'm sure it has something like maybe a million users or, you know, somewhere in the ballpark of 1 to 10 million users.
00:09:20.000I think even that might be overestimating it.
00:09:23.000We've got a video on banned.video with 173,000 views, and it got there in like A few days, you know, so this is pretty impressive to get 500,000 views on, you know, something like I think it's less than a dozen videos in just a week.
00:09:40.000This beats our numbers on D Live, which was a platform, beats our numbers on YouTube, which is one of the world's biggest.
00:09:47.000So, and honestly, it even surprised me.
00:09:49.000I mean, I created the banned.video page and I thought, okay, this is nice.
00:09:53.000We'll get some crossover with InfoWars.
00:09:55.000We'll get maybe some new viewers who watch InfoWars or Alex, but maybe don't watch America first.
00:10:46.000And I remember watching Dave Rubin when I was in high school.
00:10:51.000At that time in 2015 or 2016, I don't know how long Dave Rubin has been at it.
00:10:57.000But at that time, and to this day, Dave Rubin is a YouTuber who conducts interviews on his show called The Rubin Report.
00:11:06.000And his claim to fame is that he is this liberal atheist.
00:11:11.000Guy, liberal, politically liberal, and an atheist who believes in abortion and feminism and gay marriage and big government.
00:11:20.000Well, I don't know about big government, but you know, he's like a liberal.
00:11:25.000And his claim to fame is that originally, and I think this is still true, at least originally, this was more the pitch.
00:11:32.000It was, I'm a liberal, I'm an atheist, and he would say, you know, I'm a gay liberal atheist, but I'm going to have conservatives on my show and I'm going to give them a fair hearing.
00:11:47.000And I'm going to show the world that two people can disagree, and specifically liberals can disagree with conservatives, but still have civil conversations and maybe find common ground.
00:11:57.000And I remember back in 2015, he had these big interviews with Ben Shapiro, Milo Yiannopoulos, Jordan Peterson, and that's what really put him on the map.
00:12:05.000That's what made him go viral as well as his guests.
00:12:09.000Because everybody could watch that content and say, gee, oh, Ben Shapiro, Milo, Jordan Peterson, these people that have been slandered by the media.
00:12:20.000If they're being humanized on this liberal show, they must not be so bad.
00:12:24.000And then there was this reciprocal effect where people would say, Hey, this Dave Rubin, he may be a liberal, I don't agree with him, but he treats the conservatives I like pretty nice.
00:12:33.000And he agrees with most of the things the conservatives say, so he's not so bad.
00:12:39.000You know, now it's a little bit different.
00:12:40.000Now he says, I'm a classical liberal, I'm part of the intellectual dark web.
00:12:45.000And, you know, there's a lot of these types around, like Tim Pool, and Dave Rubin is one of them, and, uh, And Michael Tracy, who I've been debating with this week, where really they've become sort of like token liberals that basically toe a conservative agenda, right?
00:13:01.000And a very specific kind of conservative agenda.
00:13:04.000It's like a Heritage Foundation agenda, it's like a neocon agenda.
00:13:10.000Now, there is one other attribute, by the way, that Dave Rubin has, which is not only is he gay, Jewish, or I'm sorry, not only is he gay, atheist, and liberal, but he's also Jewish.
00:13:22.000He's gay, atheist, liberal, but he's also Jewish.
00:13:26.000And, you know, I've always been a critic of Dave Rubin because I say here you've got a guy whose claim to fame is he'll talk to anybody.
00:13:34.000And his whole claim to fame, the reason why he's famous, the reason why he's gotten all this attention, and why people watch him, he doesn't really have a lot of interesting things to say.
00:15:29.000It's not dangerous enough, not interesting enough.
00:15:32.000They were at their apogee two, three years ago, actually, like four years ago now.
00:15:38.000They were credited with bringing Trump into office.
00:15:41.000There was this notable schism between the alt-light and the alt-right at the Deplorable, between like Mike Cernovich and Jeff Giza and these kinds of types, and then like Richard Spencer and Mike Enoch and all that.
00:16:12.000Not dangerous enough, not interesting enough.
00:16:15.000And, you know, then you realize well, you know, here's a guy who's a liberal, gay, atheist, but you know what he has in common with Ben Shapiro?
00:16:23.000Even though Ben Shapiro is a religious conservative, and even though Ben Shapiro is nominally a conservative and believes in God, apparently, and Dave Rubin is a gay, atheist, liberal, well, they've got one thing in common.
00:16:37.000And you know what Dave Rubin has in common with Jordan Peterson, who he has on the show, and you know what he has in common with Miley Yiannopoulos, who he had on the show?
00:16:45.000And you know what he has in common with Stefan Molyneux, who we had on his show?
00:16:48.000And you know what he has in common with Mike Cernovich, who we had on his show?
00:16:51.000And you know what he has in common with every other interesting, dangerous conservative that he's had on his show?
00:16:57.000Is that Dave Rubin is Jewish and a Zionist.
00:18:59.000Because Lauren Chen, she's actually a very bright person.
00:19:03.000And I lumped her in with, you know, there's a lot of e girls online, and some of them do fit that archetype.
00:19:08.000She has to admit, you must admit, everyone must admit, that happens all the time.
00:19:14.000But I've watched Lauren Chen, I've seen her content since then, and I actually think she's pretty courageous.
00:19:19.000And I think her content is pretty insightful.
00:19:21.000Now, you know my feelings about women in politics generally, but she's married, she's doing it the right way, and.
00:19:28.000If you watch her content, she is a lot more honest and a lot more thoughtful than most.
00:19:32.000And you have to give credit where it's due.
00:19:35.000Now, that being said, she had an exchange with Dave Rubin today on Twitter, which I found to be fascinating.
00:19:40.000She put out a tweet today and she responded to somebody who was asking her, What are your thoughts on Israel and Palestine?
00:19:47.000And she replies and says, I don't support Palestine, but I'm not sure if that means that by default I support Israel, which I really like that answer because I think I fall into a similar category.
00:20:00.000And everybody knows, and by the way, I'm talking about the normie realm of politics, not where we are.
00:20:24.000Are you with Palestinian Muslim radicals or are you with these poor victims, these poor Jews in Israel who don't have any power at all?
00:20:34.000And so in the normie political space, this is actually really.
00:20:38.000It's important for people to hear this.
00:20:40.000Well, I don't support Palestine necessarily, but that doesn't mean I support Israel.
00:20:44.000There's another way, which is to say you care about America.
00:20:49.000Israel does not have a great relationship with us.
00:20:51.000It's not really America first, but also we don't necessarily support Muslims and everything that goes on there.
00:20:58.000I did a whole show about this last week.
00:21:00.000So, in any case, it was interesting that she said that because I believe she's at Blaze TV, and Blaze TV is a very Zio network.
00:21:07.000It's run by Glenn Beck and Mark Levin, hardcore Zionist, hardcore Israel.
00:21:13.000And I know there are some people on Blaze TV who are kind of in like a straitjacket because they don't want to toe the line on Israel anymore.
00:21:21.000They want to, I think, maybe they want to say things like I say.
00:21:25.000But we all know that when you work for a media company, however big, especially when it's run by Zionists, it comes with these editorial restrictions.
00:21:36.000That if you're on Fox News, you can't criticize Israel.
00:21:39.000And Glenn Greenwald, he could go on Twitter all day long and criticize Israel, but he'll never say that on Fox News.
00:21:50.000I mean, there's a little bit of leeway, you know, and she can maybe say something like this, but it's my impression, based on what I've heard, that at Blaze TV, I don't think somebody could go out and really be honest about what's going on between America and Israel and just how toxic the relationship is.
00:22:07.000So, in any case, she puts out this tweet.
00:22:09.000I think it's pretty interesting that she would say that.
00:22:11.000So she says, Well, I don't support Palestine, but I'm not sure I support Israel by default.
00:22:16.000And so Dave Rubin, Dave Rubinstein, the gay, gay liberal atheist.
00:26:28.000We don't want total immigration wrecking what the founding fathers built, changing what the people that built this country created, which was the greatest country ever.
00:26:38.000A country that was only allowed to come into existence because of God.
00:26:42.000That's the country that I have allegiance to.
00:26:45.000Dave Rubin will never say America first because he doesn't believe it.
00:27:30.000Sheldon Adelson, who was an American billionaire, who was born in Boston, by the way, and made his fortune in America off of Americans, he's buried in Israel with an Israeli flag draped over his coffin.
00:27:44.000His body was flown there on a private jet, and they literally rolled out a red carpet for his casket, and Benjamin Netanyahu met it on the tarmac, Prime Minister of Israel.
00:27:55.000That's not America first, that's Israel first.
00:27:58.000So, you know, you might want to change how you think about somebody like Dave Rupert.
00:28:44.000He goes, Yeah, I'm not lecturing you, just sharing some history.
00:28:47.000Like we're all a bunch of assholes, right?
00:28:49.000Oh, thank you, thank you, Dave Rubin, for sharing with us some history, non biased, right?
00:28:54.000When I was in college, the same thing happened to me.
00:28:58.000Because I was asking, at the time, Cassie Dillon, Elliot Hamilton, Aaron Bandler, Among others, who all worked for the Daily Wire at the time, that's the Ben Shapiro outfit.
00:29:08.000At the time, I asked all of them, I said, why do we give $3.8 billion per year to Israel?
00:29:14.000Why was it Jewish neocons that brought us to war in Iraq and Afghanistan?
00:29:20.000Why was it the Jewish neocons in the Bush Defense Department and State Department that brought us to war in Israel, the same people that wrote a memo back in 1994, the Clean break memo under the Netanyahu government about how Israel, to secure their northern border, they had to wipe out Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon.
00:32:40.000Dave Rubin replies, No, foreign aid and military aid are separate things.
00:32:45.000We only give them military aid, which has to be spent in the U.S. Lauren replies, Even the U.S. acknowledges that military aid is foreign aid and that Israel does receive foreign aid.
00:32:55.000Dave Rubin says, Yes, foreign aid includes military.
00:34:06.000Okay, then make their money either a grant, in which case we can supervise how it's spent, or make it a loan, in which case they pay it back.
00:34:16.000Neither of those things are true of Israel.
00:34:18.000We give them their foreign aid as a loan because loans aren't supervised.
00:34:44.000Additionally, we give all of the foreign aid to Israel at the beginning of the year in a lump sum, which No other country receives it that way.
00:34:52.000We actually have to borrow money to do that as opposed to paying it out over the course of a year.
00:34:57.000They use the money that we give them in a lump sum at the beginning of the year, some of it, to buy U.S. bonds, U.S. government bonds.
00:35:06.000So we give them the money as a loan so we can't supervise it.
00:35:10.000We forgive the loan so that they don't pay it back.
00:35:13.000We give it all at the beginning of the year in a lump sum, which we have to borrow money to do that.
00:35:20.000And if that's not enough, they use that money to buy U.S. bonds so that we pay them interest on the forgiven loan that we give them.
00:36:24.000Jordan, and they've been the number three recipient of foreign aid for about 25 years, ever since they signed an agreement normalizing bilateral relations with, you guessed it, Israel, and promising not to declare war on them.
00:36:39.000So the number one, two, and three spots for foreign aid, all the largest sums, are really all a subsidy towards Israel.
00:36:48.000Jordan is the country that borders Israel to the east, Egypt is the country that borders Israel to the south.
00:36:56.000That's who's getting all the foreign aid money.
00:38:02.000As the enlightened gay liberal atheist, open to having dangerous discussions and everything, he is acting as a propagandist for the Jewish state of Israel, unpaid.
00:38:12.000And that's because his real allegiance is to the Jewish state of Israel and not to the United States of America.
00:38:18.000And that's why he has on Ben Shapiro, because he would like to prop up Ben Shapiro, Milo Yiannopoulos, Jordan Peterson as prominent conservatives.
00:38:27.000Because while they may push dangerous ideas in some areas, they're never going to push the most dangerous idea of all.
00:38:36.000Which is that the American people should be put first and not the Jewish state of Israel.
00:38:42.000So it's in Dave Rubin's interest that the liberal side and the conservative side are both in agreement on the thing that actually matters to him.
00:38:52.000Shitting on Muslims, that's fine, according to Ben Shapiro and Milo and others.
00:39:29.000Why do you think it's okay to attack them?
00:39:31.000It's because they're a shared enemy of the Zionists.
00:39:35.000Because if you are talking about Muslims and Islam being bad and all of that, you're more likely to support Israel because Israel allegedly is under attack by Israel.
00:39:47.000Muslim era militants in Gaza and the West Bank.
00:39:52.000If you're even a nationalist against mass migration from Muslims in Europe, you've got a common cause in the only democracy in the Middle East fighting back against Islamic barbarism.
00:40:52.000Allow that to pass through the gate because it facilitates the ends of Zionism.
00:40:57.000It facilitates the ends of Israel first gatekeepers in the media.
00:41:03.000Dave Rubin is fine with people shitting on Islam and Muslims because Dave Rubin, this guy is like a psycho nutjob about defending Israel, this paranoid schizophrenia about Palestinians and Islamic militants because he's an Israel first nutjob.
00:42:08.000Palestine goes back thousands of years.
00:42:10.000You know, you may not call it a nation state in the proper sense of the term, in the same way that Syria was never a real nation state, in the same way that Iraq was never a real nation state, in the same way that the Gulf states are not real nation states.
00:42:23.000Please, that's not because they're not countries.
00:44:26.000But, you know, what do you think the problem is with all these Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan?
00:44:31.000It's because they got pushed out, they got displaced.
00:44:35.000Jews made a concerted effort to colonize the Mandate of Palestine.
00:44:40.000And, you know, you could go into the propaganda, they would try to scare the Jews in Iraq into coming to Palestine.
00:44:47.000They would try to scare the Jews in Europe into coming to Palestine by creating fake propaganda there and creating fake propaganda about anti Semitism to drive a Jewish exodus from Europe and the Middle East.
00:44:59.000They would abuse Jews, Zionists would abuse Jews in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East to push them into Palestine to create their political project for the first half of the 20th century.
00:45:12.000And then they declared the Israeli state in 1948 and expelled the Palestinians.
00:45:20.000That's why the Palestinians just have bigotry for no reason.
00:49:11.000Let's have a debate on my platform and we'll have a truly dangerous, interesting conversation between people that actually disagree, something that you care about.
00:49:22.000Deeply, and something that I care about as well.
00:49:25.000We'll call it America First versus Israel First.
00:49:33.000Don't burn my show like you burned down certain book warehouses.
00:49:37.000You know, you all remember that incident.
00:49:40.000You know, some people don't like an idea and they burn down your warehouse where you're printing your books and they make it illegal to question it in Europe.
00:49:49.000There are some ideas that are just too dangerous, I guess.
00:49:52.000Some ideas are so dangerous, they ban you from talking about it in 20 countries.
00:49:57.000And if you print books about it, they burn them.
00:49:59.000Throw you in jail if you talk about them, they'll assassinate you.
00:56:05.000It's sort of like, you know that TikTok trend when they write out a word on a piece of paper and then they pour water on it and some of the letters dissolve and it's just a few letters.
00:56:16.000It's sort of like, hi, I'm Dave Rubin.
01:02:07.000And the gist of the story is that on November 9th, an order comes down to the military, which says get all troops out of the Middle East by January 15th.
01:02:18.000At first, the military doesn't believe it.
01:02:20.000They say, there's no precedent for this.
01:02:23.000We need a direct order from the president.
01:02:26.000November 11th, 2020, a direct order comes from the president pull all the troops out of the Middle East.
01:03:11.000It says, quote, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, was reportedly caught on classified intercepts undermining then President Donald Trump and the Pentagon's civilian leadership as they worked to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan in the waning days of the administration.
01:03:28.000Trump administration officials reviewed classified National Security Agency communications that led them to believe the military, or rather that Milley, was undercutting the president and Defense Department leaders, according to three sources with firsthand knowledge of the documents.
01:03:45.000Milley's alleged subversion came because he and other top generals reportedly did not agree with Trump's plans to drastically reduce or completely withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
01:03:57.000The intercepts included a conversation between a senior Afghan official and an American who had spoken to Milley, with the American saying that he was told the Joint Chiefs Chairman had no confidence in the civilian Pentagon leadership.
01:04:12.000The DoD was led at the time by Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Chief of Staff Kash Patel, among others.
01:04:20.000And another intercept, Afghan officials were alleged to have understood that the top U.S. generals planned to defy the president's order for a fast troop drawdown and would, at best, slowly respond to Trump's instructions in the hopes of delaying and hopefully stopping the pullout.
01:04:38.000So, in other words, they were either going to ignore it completely or they were going to do it so slowly that it wouldn't have been done by the time Trump left office.
01:04:51.000The intercepts prompted conversations among senior Trump officials about the potential undercutting of civilian control of the military.
01:04:58.000However, the chaotic final days of the administration overshadowed the serious issue.
01:05:03.000For one thing, Axios reported there was a general lack of interest among Trump staff in being the one who would take the intercepts to the president because you didn't want to get sucked into some weird scandal and be testifying, said a source to the outlet.
01:05:17.000Axios reported that Trump aide John McEntee, with the president's blessing, Told retired Army Colonel Douglas McGregor on November 9, 2020, that his job was to get U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Africa, and to complete the troop withdrawal from Germany.
01:05:36.000McGregor was given the mission just moments after he had been offered the position of advisor to Miller.
01:05:43.000When news of a presidential directive delivered to Miller spread throughout the Pentagon, top military brass, including Milley, were appalled that such policy would be conducted without their consultation, input, and a process for gaming out consequences.
01:05:59.000Neither the White House counsel Pat Cipollone, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, nor the Office of the Staff Secretary were told about the directive.
01:06:09.000The leaders soon realized that they faced an off the books operation by the Commander in Chief himself.
01:06:15.000The nature of the plan was likely due to a belief espoused by Trump and his top allies that military leaders had obstructed presidents from troop drawdowns for years by disputing that there was any consensus within the Pentagon and leaking worst case scenarios to media outlets.
01:06:35.000It says the leaders of the military, National Security Advisor, White House Counsel, the Staff Secretary, they realized that they faced an off the books operation by the Commander in Chief himself.
01:06:51.000The nature of the plan was due to a belief espoused by Trump and his top allies that military leaders had obstructed presidents from troop drawdowns for years.
01:07:03.000By disputing that there was any consensus within the Pentagon and leaking worst case scenarios to media outlets.
01:07:10.000So, in other words, Trump did not tell the top military brass about this order.
01:07:19.000He sent this to McGregor through John McEntee, in other words, through trusted personnel, trusted Trump loyalists, to carry this out without interference from the top military brass because.
01:07:34.000Trump and his staff believe, the loyalists in the White House believe that for years, presidents in the past have tried to draw down troops, but the military obstructs them by saying that the Pentagon's divided.
01:08:07.000If there's no consensus to change anything, if there's no real will to change the policy in the Middle East, then they will defer to, and the bias is towards what they've always done, which is stay.
01:08:20.000So they present this illusion of, well, everyone disagrees.
01:08:28.000Or they'll leak worst case scenarios to the press whenever a withdrawal is discussed, so that the press will run a headline and say a new report from the Pentagon says that if we withdraw troops from Afghanistan, everyone's going to die.
01:08:41.000And then that destroys the political impetus for the president to withdraw troops.
01:08:46.000So, this was an off the books mission to go around the military that would have obstructed this order, which they did eventually.
01:08:54.000It says Milley, who remains the Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Joe Biden, has approached his job by providing, quote, timely and thorough advice to civilian leaders, according to spokesman Colonel Dave Butler.
01:09:07.000Butler said General Milley has been and still is dedicated to recognizing and following the laws and intent that govern civilian control of the military.
01:09:16.000He has consciously and deliberately supported civilian control of the military throughout his tenure and before, which is a lie.
01:09:24.000And this confirms everything that we've been saying for years.
01:09:27.000They told us it was a conspiracy theory.
01:09:30.000They told us this was some fever dreamed delusion of racists, white nationalists, conspiracy theorists, that there was a deep state that exists that is interfering with civilian control of the state, which is to say, the elected officials' control of the government.
01:09:48.000The existence of agencies, departments, bureaucrats, intelligence operatives, military members, lobbyists, special interests, iron triangle of assorted interests in D.C. that actually control our country.
01:10:03.000And all the big decisions made by government.
01:10:08.000It proves that that's real, that exists, and it operates in exactly the manner which we said it did, which is to say that they can disobey the president and create policy.
01:10:20.000The president can say, We're pulling out of all these countries tomorrow, and the military will say, No, we're not going to do that.
01:10:30.000And it begs the question well, then, who's really in control?
01:10:57.000I think the defense has been around for a long time, but you know what I'm saying.
01:11:01.000All this infrastructure, all this bureaucracy, They are not delegated powers by the Constitution.
01:11:08.000The power is delegated to the civilian government, to the Supreme Court, the bicameral legislature, and to the executive branch under the president.
01:13:06.000And in some cases, they put you on the no fly list and freeze all your money.
01:13:10.000And our worst fears were basically confirmed.
01:13:12.000Now, that's on the one hand, the other hand is this.
01:13:15.000A lot of people looked at the Trump administration and they said, oh, you know, he was great in 16, but he failed because he either was a con man all along or he sold out to the elites, which is not true.
01:13:30.000What this demonstrates is that Trump was fighting until the very last day to put America first.
01:13:38.000Trump was fighting from the time he got in until the time he left with his own staff, his own Secretary of Defense, his own Joint Chief of Staff.
01:13:47.000He was fighting from the time he got in until the time he left to follow through.
01:13:51.000November 11th, he sent out an order saying, Pull us out of every country Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Africa, Germany.
01:15:04.000So, you know, that's not the main thing, but that is an important thing to point out because a lot of people for years would tell me, oh, you're shilling for Trump and he hates us.
01:15:23.000I believe that Trump is America first, and I believe that he's trying, and that does matter.
01:15:29.000It's not a meaningless distinction that he's trying but getting pushback versus he's not trying and he's just going along with it and is a sellout.
01:15:38.000It's not a meaningless distinction that one or the other is the case.
01:15:44.000And I always said, Trump is still America first, but he's in some cases getting bad advice.
01:15:50.000In other cases, he's just outright being disobeyed and ignored by the departments.
01:15:55.000And you could then say that he's incompetent, in which case I might agree.
01:15:59.000I might agree that a lot of these people are people that he himself hired and had the ability to fire.
01:16:05.000But at some point, you have to say, is the beast too much for one man alone to take on?
01:16:11.000You might think he's the president of the United States.
01:16:14.000But the president is still one guy in an immense power structure that has been there far longer than he has, far longer than any president has been there.
01:16:25.000And they know the rules, they know how it goes, they outnumber him.
01:16:28.000In some cases, their powers are greater than his.
01:16:30.000And the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, certain agencies and departments.
01:16:36.000And that, to me, is the bigger point, which is who's really in control here.
01:16:41.000When they talk about, you know, a couple of years ago, they published an op ed in the front page of the New York Times, which said, I'm a member of the deep state and I'm thwarting Donald Trump's agenda.
01:16:52.000I mean, that was literally an anonymous op ed published on the front page of the New York Times, which said, I'm in the Trump admin.
01:16:59.000I'm working against the Trump agenda from the inside.
01:17:05.000And at once, they will deny the existence of a deep state doing these kinds of activities.
01:17:09.000And at the same time, they actually ran two op eds within the Trump administration of that nature of an anonymous official within the Trump administration in the deep state, they call it the steady state, undermining the agenda of the civilian elected president of the United States.
01:17:26.000They also do things like they published a report shortly after the inauguration where they said there was a conspiracy on the part of corporations, NGOs, Democrats, government officials, activists to prevent Donald Trump from investigating allegations of voter fraud.
01:17:42.000Fraud and overturning the results of the election in swing states.
01:17:45.000They admitted that in an article after the election, but they will tell you then that if you claim there was a conspiracy to rig the election, that's disinformation.
01:18:06.000Your vote doesn't count, and even if it did, the people that you vote for aren't in charge.
01:18:12.000All the big decisions that are made about War and peace, all the big decisions that are made about the COVID lockdown, the economy, dollars and cents, taxes and spending, and all of that, it's not made by us.
01:18:27.000You might say, well, proportionally, one voter out of 330 million people, it's not made by any of the voters.
01:18:33.000The decisions are made by a few thousand people, hyper wealthy elites, giant corporations, and the leaders of those corporations, elite graduates of Ivy League and other universities.
01:18:46.000Think tank operatives, lobbyists, bureaucrats, these are the people that are in charge.
01:18:52.000Foreign actors from foreign states, these are the real people that are wielding power.
01:18:58.000It's politically connected types, wealthy types, these are the people.
01:19:02.000And this is no secret, but we don't even live in a democracy.
01:19:05.000So let's dispense then with this pretense that our vote even means anything.
01:19:24.000This group of people will make their decisions anyway.
01:19:28.000Democracy exists to legitimize the pre made decisions to the people.
01:19:36.000The system makes a decision, the media launders that decision to the public.
01:19:43.000The public votes, elected leaders come into office and carry out those pre made decisions.
01:19:50.000And media and elections merely are institutions that serve to legitimize in the minds of the people decisions that are made by opaque institutions that they'll never understand, occupied by people that they'll never know their names, working through an arcane system that they don't know how it works.
01:21:48.000That's what this whole system is about.
01:21:51.000And so Trump came in, and winning was not part of their plan.
01:21:56.000Trump came in, won the election, defeated the media, and he was like, I mean, he proved that, hey, I mean, the votes do count, people do win elections, but they thwarted his election.
01:22:26.000They knew they weren't going to impeach him.
01:22:28.000They knew they weren't going to indict him.
01:22:30.000They didn't even have the power to indict him.
01:22:32.000You can't indict a president, you impeach a president.
01:22:35.000But they carried on with the Trump collusion narrative as long as they could.
01:22:40.000And then they took up the Ukrainian hoax.
01:22:43.000When that was over, because they could not allow anybody to see Trump as the legitimate elected leader of the country.
01:22:51.000And that's why they're cleansing social media.
01:22:54.000Because media is not for free speech, it's not for the truth, it's not for journalism, and democracy is not for the people that choose the leaders.
01:23:03.000Democracy is about legitimizing the pre made decisions of the real decision makers, and the media is about laundering those decisions to the public.
01:23:15.000That's what those institutions serve to do.
01:23:17.000And that's why Donald Trump's democratic election had to be undermined in the minds of the people.
01:24:55.000The only reason he won was because of misinformation and collusion, and he cheated, and he didn't win the popular vote, and he has a small crowd, and that proves it.
01:25:04.000And that's why we're in the situation we're in right now.
01:25:07.000That's why Trump wasn't presidential and the media, and there was the media versus Trump and all that kind of stuff.
01:25:13.000And that's why media's got to wipe everybody out now, too.
01:25:17.000Because we don't live in a free society.
01:25:19.000We live in Russia, we live in China, we live in North Korea.
01:28:21.000Okay, Nathaniel says Ohio is now offering $1 million scholarships by lottery for people who have been vaccinated for COVID to be paid for from federal relief funds.
01:28:34.000Secondary prizes to include gift cards, paid leave from work, etc.
01:29:02.000This is not true if you've already mentioned this, but in case anyone still had any doubts about whether or not Don Jr. is a serious person or not, his IG tells us everything we need to know.
01:29:11.000He's an immature, unserious guy who thinks butt jokes are funny and is still going with the libs are always mad for no reason.
01:29:21.000I scrolled through his IG page, and even more frustrating than the posts are the amount of comments saying, Damn, you're on a roll today, Don.
01:30:56.000It's just like another sort of cultural relic of.
01:31:00.000A dying white America, you know, as opposed to this like forward thinking, like I said, a revolutionary, revanchist movement where he would go up there and say the crazy.
01:31:11.000Remember, he would say, Raise your right hand, raise your right hand.
01:31:15.000I swear I'm going to vote for Donald Trump.
01:33:09.000Because I remember when Trump came down the tower in New York City, in New York City, and he was like, America doesn't have victories anymore.
01:33:19.000When's the last time you saw Chevrolet in Tokyo?
01:36:21.000But it's like, no, but in politics, we need to capture the imagination of 100, 200 million people.
01:36:29.000And don't get me wrong, I love Southerners.
01:36:32.000Southerners can be hip and cool and all that, but there's this boomerification that has happened to the Trump Revolution, which is really holding it back, in my opinion.
01:40:49.000I mean, they're cartoonists, so they had to draw and animate this disgusting scene with, I mean, totally innocent 14 year old kids who are right wing, you know, or ostensibly right wing, who are just funny, just making videos.
01:41:04.000And I thought that was totally disgusting and inappropriate and so, so out of line, you know.
01:41:10.000And that's the thing these people have no taste, these people have no class.
01:41:14.000You know, and like I said, I don't like being attacked.
01:41:20.000People sling shit on the internet, it happens, but to make it this like totally weird thing and then include kids in it, that's just disgusting to me.
01:41:30.000So, those people, and you know what's more, so that really was really disgusting to me, but they were never funny to me.
01:49:32.000We want him to get the help that he needs, that he desperately needs.
01:49:39.000So I say that because it's funny and because, Jake, this is an intervention and we're all here to ask you to help yourself because we want you to be around for many more birthdays.
01:49:51.000Okay, buddy, we want you to be here for many more birthdays.
01:49:56.000So we are doing this kind of as a joke, but also it's a cry for help, too.
01:50:13.000I mean, if you stand between this guy and a hostess snack, a hostess dessert snack, you're going to look like, you know, it's going to be ugly.
01:52:31.000OG Nickers says if Patrick Casey were to come crawling back to you begging for forgiveness in his old seat by your side, what would you do?
01:53:50.000We had a briefing on combating right wing extremism a few weeks ago, and just a couple days ago, we had one on the importance of diversity and the danger of microaggressions.
01:54:00.000Only a matter of time before I catch a discharge for watching your show or something, and it honestly can't come soon enough.
01:56:58.000Don't get me wrong, people can still survive and thrive in the country if you're really exceptional.
01:57:03.000But for the most part, the American dream is dead.
01:57:05.000This country is over as far as social mobility, people being able to rise through the ranks and innovate and create value and even achieve.
01:57:18.000A good quality of life, a home, a plot of land, a car, a nice, comfortable job, a family.
01:57:26.000I think that that dream of the shining city on a hill is for now dead.
01:57:30.000Now, that doesn't mean it can't come back, right?
02:00:43.000Humongous says any conservative who legitimately talks about socialism and machina as threats in 2021 is retarded, gay, and a regime operative who would have no problem killing people like us.
02:01:37.000Sammy T says Lauren Southern, whether you think she grifted or not, performed great in her Hunter Avalon debate, completely humiliated him.
02:01:45.000Illustrating he has no understanding of the validity of any of his ridiculous studies.
02:01:51.000Yeah, admittedly, I'm not in love with what Lauren Southern's been up to lately, but I'll have to watch the debate.
02:01:58.000Kevin Brose says Dave Rubin has been wringing his hands for years about systemic racism, but admitted ignorance after a five minute conversation with Larry Elder.
02:02:07.000Back in 2016, he had a debate with Kyle Kalinske on Israel and was promptly embarrassed four minutes into a 90 minute exchange.
02:05:16.000This is like the go back in a time machine and try to explain to people that in the 21st century, people would defend going from eating meat to bugs, living in smaller houses, not owning anything, not having running hot water, not having clean drinking water, right?
02:05:38.000Go back and try to explain to them that people in charge are convincing people that a lower quality of life is better for us.
02:05:48.000Fresh Princess Amunda says niggas like Adam Green see that clip of you saying anti Semites should get their head cut off and be like, aha!
02:07:07.000It's been a long time since I read up on this.
02:07:10.000Lord Balfour is the minister of the Foreign Office or something to that effect.
02:07:16.000And the Balfour Declaration is published by the British regime, and it says that there should be a Jewish homeland in Palestine, which is puzzling because Palestine at the time is controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
02:07:33.000So during World War I, this is in the 1910s, I think it was 1913 or thereabouts, you know, forgive me if I don't have the exact details right, but.
02:07:42.000Lord Balfour, who's the Minister of Foreign Affairs, something like that, he writes this declaration that says there ought to be a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
02:07:51.000Which is puzzling because at this time in history, Britain does not control Palestine.
02:07:57.000After World War I, the Middle East is partitioned, and the former Ottoman territories like Syria, Iraq, the Levant, Jordan, they're partitioned between the French and the British.
02:08:11.000But at this time, when the Balfour Declaration is published, Britain doesn't control Palestine, the Muslims do.
02:08:17.000Now, at the same time in the United States, the U.S. is trying to stay out of the war.
02:08:22.000Woodrow Wilson gets elected in 1914 because they say he kept us out of the war.
02:08:30.000And what happens behind the scenes is this Louis Brandeis is the head of the Supreme Court at the time.
02:08:36.000Louis Brandeis, before he became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was the head of the World Zionist Organization.
02:08:48.000This is a global movement of Jewish Zionists, and they're moving collectively towards the advancement of this project of creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
02:08:57.000So, Louis Brandeis is the head of the World Zionist Organization, he goes to the Supreme Court, and he abdicates his role as the head of the WZO formally, but he continues to run it in secret.
02:09:10.000They hold these meetings in his Supreme Court office in secret, even though he's now on the Supreme Court.
02:09:16.000Louis Brandeis is a close personal friend of Woodrow Wilson's, who's the then president.
02:09:22.000Basically, a deal is brokered between Louis Brandeis and the British Jewish elements in the British government.
02:09:31.000Where, in exchange for the British government creating this Balfour Declaration and advocating for a Jewish homeland in the Middle East, this Jewish network, which is intercontinental, which is transnational, Louis Brandeis, who's the head of the WZO, will convince Woodrow Wilson.
02:09:53.000To bring the United States into World War I.
02:09:56.000Now, this is relevant because at the time, Britain is engaged in World War I, and World War I is at a stalemate.
02:10:06.000And so the British side wants to bring America over to break the stalemate because they know that with the introduction of America into the war on the side of the British, they'll win the war, which eventually happened.
02:10:31.000England says, We want a Jewish homeland in the Middle East.
02:10:34.000Okay, Louis Brandeis, head of the WZO, goes to Woodrow Wilson, his close personal friend from the bench of the Supreme Court, and says, Hey, push us into World War I. U.S. breaks the stalemate.
02:10:46.000Britain wins World War I. Ottoman Empire is partitioned.
02:10:50.000And Britain becomes the sovereign over the Mandate of Palestine, is what it's called the Levant.
02:11:13.000They create terrorist organizations like Ergun and others.
02:11:18.000The Zionists were the original terrorists in the Middle East.
02:11:21.000Bus bombings and they bombed the King David Hotel and they bombed all kinds of things American assets, British assets.
02:11:29.000They attacked the British government when Britain was in charge, they attacked the Americans after World War II.
02:11:38.000And anyway, so that's what was the question?
02:11:42.000So, where did the interest come in the first place?
02:11:44.000It's because you've got these Zionist Jewish elements which implant themselves into American institutions like the Supreme Court, Ivy League universities, media, and some of the most prominent anti Zionist forces in media were silenced because they were working their way up in these institutions.
02:12:04.000There's a great book about this called If Only We Knew or something.
02:12:53.000I don't think I got a chance to talk to her, but she gave a little talk at this like commie church.
02:13:01.000There was like a Venezuelan flag and like a Colombian flag and a Cuban flag, and everybody in there was like gay, leftist, like revolutionary types.
02:13:10.000So they obviously liked her because she was like a liberal, pro Palestine person.
02:13:15.000She was a big journalist and she would go to Israel and cover.
02:13:18.000The Israeli Palestinian conflict, and then she began to uncover all this stuff about the real origins of the Israel lobby in America.
02:13:25.000So that's just one example, the Balfour Declaration, which somebody brought up earlier.
02:13:30.000But it's a very interesting story, the extent to which it was covered up in the media and how deep the roots really go.
02:13:38.000So that's a good source material on that.
02:17:12.000John Doe, you've got to be a little more specific than that.
02:17:15.000Modern Monarchist says Most of the time, I just want to have a few friends who I can trust to head into the mountains and make a mountain mansion with cattle and trees and stocked with all kinds of fat ass food.
02:18:12.000Like most homosexuals, that's the origin story.
02:18:17.000And the reason it's not talked about is because they create this perception that homosexuality is this immutable characteristic.
02:18:26.000They have worked very hard to obfuscate this, where they say, well, we were born this way.
02:18:31.000And therefore, if we're born this way, We should not be discriminated against based on a fact of our biology, a fact of our nature, an immutable fact of our nature.
02:18:43.000This is who we like, we can't help it, and so therefore the law should not discriminate against us for that reason.
02:19:13.000And so if people knew more about the statistics on the stuff, the disease, the promiscuity, the rates of abuse, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, pedophilia, etc., They would see that homosexuality is an expression of like trauma.
02:19:44.000It's not like, well, you've got people and some are like this and some are like that.
02:19:49.000It's like, no, you've got people and some people are, you know, go through and express a healthy sexuality.
02:19:55.000And some people, for various reasons, express an abnormal, unhealthy sexuality.
02:20:01.000And in the same way that you would say, I don't know, a girl who's promiscuous, a girl who has lots of sexual partners, you would say, oh, daddy issues.
02:22:13.000They don't show what's really going on.
02:22:14.000They will never show the promiscuity, the sickness.
02:22:20.000They'll never show the sort of depravity that goes on there.
02:22:24.000And the big red pill for me in college, 4chan, obviously, and there is a great Sam Hyde video.
02:22:31.000You should look this up, this classic.
02:22:33.000Years ago, Sam Hyde went to Williamsburg in New York.
02:22:36.000It's been so long since I've seen this, I even forgot about it.
02:22:39.000But this was a big red pill for me in college.
02:22:42.000Sam Hyde went to Williamsburg in New York to this comedy club, and he goes up for his routine and just starts reading off this fact sheet of anti gay, but red pills, statistics about gay people and the origin of AIDS and the AIDS epidemic and patient zero of the AIDS epidemic and this kind of stuff.
02:33:02.000Virgin Larry says, You're actually correct by saying Palestinians have been there for thousands of years.
02:33:07.000The Arabs did not replace the existing population, but only slowly replaced the existing Hellenistic culture with Arab culture as a dominant culture of the land.
02:33:16.000The Arab invader narrative has always been a Zionist distraction tactic.
02:33:19.000Well, I see what he's saying because I said Arabs have been there for thousands of years, which is technically not true.
02:33:26.000But that's, of course, besides the main point, which you're right about.
02:33:30.000Optics Respector says, The modern liberal is the most ardent adherent to slave morality.
02:34:48.000Modern monarchists as Austria, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire really piss poor at winning in World War I. In reality, was the German Empire outnumbered and holding their own and having to reinforce their allies constantly with troops and supplies?
02:36:12.000I try to send you that lady's info for the debate she wants to set up between you and Hunter Avalon, but I only found your support email for the subscription site.
02:36:21.000Modern Monarchist says, This show shows they are pushing big time right now is Pose.
02:36:28.000This show they're pushing big time right now is Pose in America, a drama series about New York City's black and Latino, gay and trans drag dance culture scene being pushed on Antenna TV all the way to Twitter.
02:37:18.000Blackroy versus People Should Watch The Politically Incorrect Truth About the French Revolution really breaks down a lot of what we were taught in school, was gaslighting and lies.
02:37:28.000Modern Monarchists says, With my night spiraling out of control, Holy freaking crap, I hear you singing.
02:39:41.000And in terms of stamina, I would probably say Steve, I would imagine, has better stamina.
02:39:49.000The other thing too about Steve is I think that he's got this element where he's, I don't say this in a mean way, he's a little bit eccentric.
02:40:01.000Like, he's definitely more of a, I don't know, I'm trying to say this without being offensive because it's not a negative thing, but he's definitely like marches to the beat of his own drum, you know, kind of like a free spirit.
02:41:59.000It's the predation, and, you know, and the people joke that that's the cycle.
02:42:03.000They pray, and then that's how more homosexuals are created, which is kind of a dark way to say it, but it is dark.
02:42:13.000It is a dark and depraved thing, and people got to get serious about that.
02:42:18.000Kevin Brose says, I don't understand how Trump's children can be so nonchalant about the circumstances we're in.
02:42:23.000At the very least, they ought to be worried the establishment would destroy their father and dispossess them of their wealth through endless lawsuits.
