00:18:34.000And you know it's funny I titled the show on Friday something to the effect of Iran escalates conflict with America something like that and I get all this abuse this abuse on Twitter people saying
00:20:15.000Oil tanker attack, and I'm using scare quotes for a reason there, in the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, right out of the Persian Gulf.
00:20:23.000Two oil tankers, one belonging to Norway, one belonging to Japan.
00:20:27.000I think actually one of them was a chemical tanker, not an oil tanker.
00:21:41.000You have to have perfect test scores, you have to have a perfect GPA, extracurriculars, and now you have to have all that and be Jewish and get shot at in a school shooting and it's not enough?
00:22:12.000And that's because of the leaked conversations which we talked about, I think it was like three or four weeks ago.
00:22:19.000from when he was 16 where he he made some pretty horrendous decisions using the n-word using the n-word to describe black people in a very derogatory and nasty fashion you know i guess this guy has some kind of a problem with african americans
00:22:37.000I guess Kyle Kashuv hates black people.
00:22:39.000I mean, that's what those leaks revealed.
00:22:42.000And so as a result of that, he's out of Harvard.
00:22:45.000And all the alt-right people are very upset about this.
00:22:48.000Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Cassie Dillon, all coming to his defense.
00:22:52.000We'll have a healthy conversation about this.
00:22:55.000You know, and I'll tell you, maybe this is something you've seen coming.
00:23:30.000They can rescind the admission of whoever they want, and we are powerless to stop them.
00:23:36.000And I see people saying, well actually the Supreme Court ruled about discrimination, or actually Harvard receives taxpayer money and all this.
00:23:47.000And all these conservatives, now they want the government to get involved?
00:23:50.000They want the big, bad, tyrannical state to get involved?
00:23:54.000They want the monopoly on force, taxationist, deaf government to get involved?
00:24:00.000I thought they were supposed to be freedom lovers.
00:24:02.000I thought they were supposed to be constitutionalist conservatives.
00:24:41.000President Trump tweeting out about this new bill which has been introduced by Steve Daines to the Congress that would have an amendment in the Constitution that says you can't burn the flag.
00:24:51.000And this has been the subject of conversation on Twitter all weekend.
00:24:56.000Everybody weighing in and they've just got to give their takes.
00:25:03.000No, but the flag was what the soldiers died for and we have to protect that.
00:25:07.000And, you know, it's just so tiresome at the end of the day that, you know, somebody tweets out something about the flag and it's just like throwing bait.
00:25:17.000It's like throwing a bunch of slop in the trough and all the political piggies, all the NPCs, gonna dig into the trough, you know, giving their low IQ takes.
00:26:27.000to rot you know i'm left to stew you know how in the media they show people who are on 4chan or people who get radicalized by the extremist right online it's always like they're in the dark and face lit up by the glow of the screen and you know they're scrolling through radical 4chan posts and things like this
00:27:18.000Before we get into that, I do just want to say happy Father's Day.
00:27:21.000Didn't get a chance to tweet this out the other day.
00:27:25.000I don't know, it just feels so, like, perfunctory that you have to, what, every holiday, Flag Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas, Easter, what, I gotta tell you Happy Father's Day?
00:27:35.000Get your own kids to tell you Happy Father's Day, right?
00:27:37.000I mean, get your own friends and family.
00:27:39.000So I didn't tweet it out, but I do want to take the chance to say Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there, fathers watching America First.
00:29:00.000They're making it so that advertisements cannot promote harmful gender stereotypes.
00:29:04.000And the show on Friday was a little bit about, we talked about this somewhat, about how the advertisements and Hollywood and really anything you consume in the form of visual, audio, anything like that is mind control.
00:29:21.000And that's why they manipulate the rules.
00:29:23.000And sort of going along those same lines, I hinted at some themes that were going on in advertisements these days.
00:29:30.000On Sunday, incredible, I'm enjoying my Father's Day, we're having a great day, and I'm scrolling through the timeline on Twitter and I see an advertisement from the Sports Store Champions, I think that's what it's called, something like that.
00:29:43.000I think it's a sports retailer outlet.
00:31:10.000I'm restrained from the YouTube community guidelines, so I can't tell you.
00:31:14.000You'll just have to figure that one out for yourself.
00:31:17.000But, you know, if anybody, if there's any ambiguity, if there's any doubt left in anybody's minds about the advertising and what's being promoted and the agenda going on, it's on my timeline.
00:32:19.000Do I just do a normal show and have like everybody watching the Trump rally?
00:32:24.000Do I come on after and comment on the rally?
00:32:26.000I think we'll just start the show when the rally starts, and we'll watch and react to it together, and then I'll give a little bit of analysis.
00:32:34.000Let me know what you think about that in the live chat, in the comments, and we'll probably do that, but I'll let you know on Twitter.
00:32:40.000So, with all that out of the way, we'll dive into the news here.
00:32:54.000It's times like this when you realize there is justice in the universe, you know?
00:32:57.000There is somebody looking out for us, right?
00:33:00.000So it was announced today by Kyle Kashuv on his Twitter that his admission to Harvard has been rescinded.
00:33:05.000And I'll read you, here's a little excerpt from The Hill.
00:33:08.000It says, Harvard University has rescinded its admission offer to a survivor of the 2018 massacre.
00:33:15.000at a Florida high school over his past use of racial slurs in an online document posted on Twitter.
00:33:21.000The student Kyle Kashuv was a junior at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida when a gunman opened fire in February 2018 and killed 17 students and staff.
00:33:31.000He became the target of online criticism last month after images of a shared study guide from more than a year ago circulated on Twitter showing he wrote anti-black slurs which included of course the n-word and also a lot of people didn't even notice this.
00:33:45.000in the uh document that was posted where he got busted and it said i can write the n-word and i practice it and and some text messages that said that he called you refer to them as n-word jocks and things like this also in the google document was a veiled threat of a school shooting which i thought was kind of why didn't he get nailed for that somewhere in the document he said something to the effect of building a map inside of csgo that looks like parkland and doing training or something to that effect so i don't know why i didn't get
00:34:27.000And really, his political birth was... It's kind of a cynical story, in the sense that the reason he came about is because right after the shooting, the left got, if you remember all those different kids, it was that...
00:34:42.000That bald girl, and it was David Hogg, and it was Cameron Kasky, and a few others.
00:34:47.000And so right after the shooting, the left, I mean, they immobilized so quickly.
00:34:52.000And they got all these students together, who survived the shooting, to come out and lead, like, this big speaking tour, and start their own organization, and lead, like, three different marches on Washington, and all over the country, and march for our lives, and this kind of stuff.
00:35:08.000And it was a huge deal, and the left was very smart and quick and strategic about this.
00:35:13.000In response to that, this is where we get Kyle Kashuv.
00:35:16.000Kyle Kashuv was sort of like the Turning Point USA Fox News response to the left-wing school shooting survivors.
00:35:24.000So Ben Shapiro, I think it actually was Ali Alexander, who's a friend of this show, he discovered Kyle Kashuv, sort of elevated him, introduced him to some people.
00:35:33.000He later became an acolyte and apprentice of Ben Shapiro, of Charlie Kirk, he visited the White House, he's this big turning point sort of a guy, and he became the right's answer, the face of anti-gun control from the perspective of a school shooting survivor for the right.
00:36:34.000Or if this was those kids at Whataburger wearing the MAGA hats, or if it was somebody else, I would probably be defending because to see an online mob come after somebody for, again, what amounts to comments that were made when you're 16 and you're trying to be outrageous, you're trying to be funny or offensive,
00:37:02.000And, you know, God forbid people found out, you know, things that I said in private when I was 16, you know, when I was in high school.
00:37:09.000And I'm sure everybody can relate to this.
00:37:11.000Everybody's been 16 once and all that.
00:37:13.000And so if it were any other case, I would be out there defending because we have to have some kind of reasonable standard
00:37:20.000Where we understand that people are young sometimes and immature and they can learn or improve or maybe they learn how to not get caught, you know, something like that because of how oppressive the political correctness system is.
00:37:32.000But we're not talking about just anybody.
00:37:34.000We're talking about a very specific group of people.
00:37:37.000We're talking about Kyle Kashuv and Ben Shapiro.
00:37:41.000And they've made it clear that the standard for them is very much inconsistent.
00:38:04.000And the Covington kids, when they were caught on video and, again, the media made it out like they were antagonizing some helpless Native American protester.
00:38:12.000There was Ben Shapiro and all the same characters.
00:38:15.000They were on the case to condemn the Covington kids.
00:38:18.000This is so disgusting and racist and un-American.
00:38:27.000Whenever it's a conservative, whenever it's an authentic right-wing person,
00:38:32.000Who gets slandered in the media, says the wrong thing, yours truly included, Ben Shapiro, all these guys are right there to condemn the real racists and to join in the online mob in destroying whosoever lives is necessary, destroying livelihoods, all that sort of stuff.
00:38:48.000And it's interesting because then when the shoe's on the other foot, when it's the left, I'm not even talking about Kashuv in this case, I'm even talking about the left.
00:38:56.000When it's James Gunn tweeting out thousands of pedophile jokes.
00:39:11.000Tweeting out thousands of different jokes where he talks about having sex with young boys and young girls.
00:39:18.000Ben Shapiro was right on the case to defend that guy.
00:39:21.000To say he shouldn't be fired, they were jokes, we have to have freedom of speech.
00:39:26.000When Sarah Jong, who wrote for the New York Times, was exposed for tweets five or six years ago where she said that white people are like dogs.
00:39:34.000And the only reason black people aren't genociding white people in the streets is because they're too timid and things like this completely anti-white genocidal maniac.
00:39:43.000There was Ben Shapiro defending the New York Times decision not to fire her.
00:39:48.000NFL, similar situation defending the NFL kneelers kneeling before the flag when President Trump and every conservative in their right mind was against it.
00:40:59.000Now we're all supposed to come out and run interference against the left because he got exposed a few years ago for saying something controversial?
00:41:34.000You know, so I'm sure when all these things start to come out, or controversial remarks or whatever, why should we be out there defending them?
00:41:40.000And people will say, oh well Nick, I understand you don't like this guy, you don't like these people, but...
00:41:49.000The principle of maintaining free speech and protecting people from, you know, getting exposed for a private conversation or a controversial remark that was a joke, you know, this sort of a thing, you have to be out there defending no matter what.
00:42:32.000And when she wants a scalp, when she wants to put somebody on a pike, I'm speaking metaphorically of course, she gets it done.
00:42:38.000So, big thanks to Laura Loomer, big congratulations, it's good to see.
00:42:42.000You know, maybe this will give Kyle Kashuv time to really think about what he said.
00:42:47.000Really give him time to learn and grow and understand that minorities and all these other people are fine and not worthy of degradation and hate speech and all that other stuff.
00:42:57.000You know, because I was in the same situation.
00:42:59.000Actually, Ben Shapiro was the one who tweeted out a clip of me, taken out of context, in a private conversation, secretly recorded, where I said controversial things.
00:43:08.000He tweeted that out to his 2 million followers when I was 18.
00:43:13.000And I, because of that, as a result of that, I couldn't get into Auburn University.
00:43:18.000And couldn't get into a lot of colleges because of that.
00:43:20.000And I was ostracized from polite society and all of this.
00:43:24.000And so, you know, maybe this will be just a great learning experience for Kyle.
00:43:28.000I know that I've learned from my mistakes.
00:43:31.000When I said that, you know, Jews were out to get me, and then because I said that, Jews pushed that in front of everybody, made sure that in any perspective, school, employer, friends, family saw that clip.
00:44:36.000It's like the end of NGE, you know, they're just coming tumbling down.
00:44:41.000I think finally, you know, 2019's been sort of a rough year in a lot of ways, but maybe there is finally a great comeuppance happening for all of the Grifters, Shills, all these type of people.
00:45:14.000This is a little excerpt here from The Examiner.
00:45:16.000It says, quote, Some Republicans in Congress on Friday reintroduced a proposal calling for a ban on burning the American flag, and they've already won an endorsement from President Trump.
00:45:26.000He tweeted out, quote, All in for Senator Steve Daines as he proposes an amendment for a strong ban on burning our American flag.
00:45:44.000And even if it was going to have a chance to become law or become an amendment or anything like that, it still wouldn't matter.
00:45:50.000To me, what matters is all the conservatives up in arms, Fox News,
00:45:55.000Everybody, all these different conservative pundits on Twitter weighing in, and I'm seeing people fighting over this tooth and nail, and the two schools of thought conventionally are, you've got the more libertarian minded people who say, well, what the American flag represents is free speech, and therefore, burning the flag is the most American thing you can do, somehow, because it shows that our flag and our nation is strong enough
00:46:25.000I would be inclined to go more towards the latter side.
00:48:53.000If, however, America represents to you the Founding Fathers, the wars, the sacrifice, the people that went overseas and died for it, and wars that were actually mattered as an existential threat to America, the people that worked in the factories, the people that settled the land, frontiersmen, predominantly Europeans, predominantly Anglo-Saxons,
00:49:14.000Then the American flag is sacred, should not be touched, should not be allowed to touch the ground.
00:49:18.000But the problem is, we're having this debate about what the flag represents and what it means, and we don't even know what America means anymore.
00:49:25.000Nobody's even willing to defend America.
00:49:28.000I see how many boomers, and they will dive onto the ground, they will dive into the mud,
00:49:33.000To keep the flag from touching the ground, but they're perfectly okay with the country being submerged in mud in another way, in a completely different way, if you get what I'm saying there, right?
00:49:43.000You know, it's totally fine that America's being demographically replaced and America's being taken over by this rootless transnational elite.
00:50:07.000And this is really the biggest problem with America anyway, is the obsession with the abstraction, the conceptual, the principle, and not the concrete, the real, the actual, the physical, right?
00:51:18.000No, but I'm sure I just need to visit the VA, you know, so that some old man, so that some old veteran could lecture me about how, Sonny, you just don't understand, and this flag means something.
00:52:08.000Sentence people to burn the flag to a million years in jail while you're at it, okay?
00:52:12.000Now can we move on to what's actually happening, right?
00:52:14.000And so, I guess that's a perfect segue.
00:52:16.000Enough about the flag debate, which is just so ridiculous.
00:52:19.000We're gonna move on and we're gonna talk about this Iran situation.
00:52:22.000Our feature for tonight, the big story, is what everybody is worried about, everybody's talking about, and this of course relates to the two oil tankers blown up on Thursday.
00:52:39.000We've been in this struggle with them for a while now.
00:52:42.000Trump has not been focused on Iran, you know, and I think I've said this every time we talk about Iran.
00:52:47.000I think it's very notable about this administration.
00:52:50.000Iran has never been the focus of this White House.
00:52:53.000When he got into office, the focus was on North Korea and China, as opposed to in past administrations, it was Iran and Russia, which I think is a very important thing.
00:53:02.000Maybe that says that we're already better off than we would be with the alternative, right?
00:53:08.000In any case, we started to pivot back towards Iran, I think, once the North Korea summit was finished.
00:53:14.000You remember it was last summer that the president pulled America out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the Iran nuclear deal.
00:53:21.000We sort of put Iran on a back burner since then.
00:53:24.000The president said when he tore up that deal, or rather withdrew us from that deal, that instead of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or some other course, what he wanted was a deal that would address the nuclear program, but also the missile program, also their intervention in foreign countries.
00:53:41.000And that was really what he wanted to do, was to make a new deal.
00:53:45.000And that's an important point to make.
00:53:46.000That was his endgame when he withdrew us from the Iran nuclear deal.
00:53:50.000Now in the last week it's escalated way beyond what everybody thought.
00:53:54.000And I predicted this about a month ago after we suspended their waivers for oil sanctions.
00:54:00.000So after we pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action last year, American sanctions came back in full force.
00:54:06.000And in order to compensate for the fact
00:54:24.000Before the Iran nuclear deal, Trump said that we would put sanctions on any company or country that does business with them.
00:54:30.000So, in other words, we could not get France to put sanctions back on Iran, but we can sanction France's companies, and then French companies won't want to do business with Iran, even though they can.
00:54:41.000Even though Iran is not sanctioned by their own government.
00:54:44.000So we put back full sanctions on Iran, although we said that we would get a waiver for them for oil, so that we would allow Iran to continue to sell oil even though most of the rest of their economy was subject to pretty crushing sanctions.
00:54:58.000Those waivers expired and were not renewed last month.
00:55:01.000So now Iran is not able to sell their oil.
00:55:04.000In addition to that, Iran is sanctioned for their heavy metals and their IRGC, their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has been sanctioned.
00:55:13.000So they're under full, like, economic containment.
00:55:16.000It's hurting their economy very badly.
00:55:18.000Many people believe that this oil tanker explosion, if you're a neocon, they say that Iran is blowing up oil ships to retaliate for that.
00:55:27.000If you're a skeptic, you'll say that now America, in addition to the sanctions,
00:55:32.000Is now going to use false flag efforts and other things to escalate the situation, increase the pressure on Iran and bring them to the table for a deal.
00:55:40.000So we've got some new developments here.
00:55:42.000Of course, on Friday we talked about this.
00:55:45.000The government said that the two oil tankers that were blown up in the Strait of Hormuz, they immediately said that Iran was to blame.
00:55:52.000And why did they say Iran was to blame?
00:55:54.000Well, because Iran is the only actor in the region who is capable of carrying out such an attack.
00:56:00.000Of course leaving out the fact that America, Saudi Arabia, Israel, a number of the Gulf states were also perfectly competent and able to pull off a similar such attack.
00:56:10.000So they left that out but they said that it was of course Iran because they were the only ones capable of this and also because they used mines.
00:56:17.000They use a specific kind of sea mine which they've used in the past and that these two oil tankers were taken down by mines means that this has Iran's fingerprints all over it.
00:56:30.000That was until Friday, or rather late Thursday, when Mike Pompeo and the State Department revealed a video which they say shows Iran removing an undetonated mine from the Japanese ship.
00:56:42.000There is only one problem with that, which is that the Japanese owner of that ship said that it was not a mine that detonated the explosion on that ship.
00:56:52.000Like a missile or a bullet or something like that, because where the ship was detonated was not below sea level, was not below the sea line.
00:57:09.000So, after I did my show on Thursday and Friday, I get a lot of people in the comments, and I see a lot of people online also commenting on my show.
00:57:16.000A lot of intelligence experts are openly scorning the video.
00:57:40.000They warned that the video doesn't prove Iranian guilt, with many adding that the U.S.
00:57:45.000track record on evidence presented to gin up support for a war generally is not good.
00:57:50.000Center for Strategic and International Studies analyst Anthony Kordzman was quick to offer alternative proposals to Newsweek, suggesting the possibility, quote, that ISIS carried out the attack as a trigger to turn two enemies, the United States and Iran, against each other.
00:58:06.000Or you're watching Saudi Arabia and the UAE create an incident that they can then use to increase pressure on Iran.
00:58:14.000This is some kind of third-party actor at some kind of false flag attack where Saudi Arabia, you know, the UAE, Israel, some other country is instigating basically to draw America into a war with Iran, to escalate with Iran.
00:58:29.000Additionally, the Japanese government is skeptical.
00:58:34.000It says, quote, the Japanese government has been requesting the United States for concrete evidence to back up its assertion that Iran is to blame for the attacks on two tankers near the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday.
00:58:45.000Secretary Mike Pompeo, who gave a statement hours after the attacks, blaming Iran, but without offering proof.
00:58:52.000The Department of Defense later released a video allegedly showing an Iranian patrol boat removing an unexploded mine attached to the side of the Japanese-operated tanker Kokuka Courageous.
00:59:02.000But Japanese officials remain unconvinced.
00:59:04.000The sources said, quote, the US explanation has not helped us go beyond speculation.
00:59:09.000A source close to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, quote, these are not definite proof that it's Iran.
00:59:16.000Even if it's the United States that makes the assertion, we cannot simply say we believe it.
00:59:20.000The source goes on, quote, if having expertise sophisticated enough to conduct the attack could be a reason to conclude that the attacker was Iran, that would apply to the United States and Israel as well.
00:59:31.000And that was from somebody in the foreign ministry.
00:59:35.000So the Japanese government, the owner of the tanker and the intel community are all saying the same thing that I said on Thursday and Friday, which is the video is bullshit.
00:59:45.000You know, it very well could be real, you know, hypothetically,
00:59:49.000It's plausible that it's real, but if we look at the history of America, not just in the last 20 years, but in the last 200 years, you know, America producing evidence that a ship was blown up by a foreign adversary, not very great that they're telling the truth, right?
01:00:09.000Beyond that, you've got the Japanese government saying the same thing.
01:00:12.000You've got the Japanese owners of the ship that say that it was in mines.
01:00:15.000All these claims that the American government is making are basically not true, or they're incomplete.
01:00:20.000They're leaving out the possibility that, you know, if we're only ascribing the circumstantial evidence that
01:00:26.000Iran was the only one who was willing and able to carry out this attack in the Strait of Hormuz.
01:00:32.000That's obviously leaving out the possibility that it was some other actor, Israel, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, who want this war in Iran as bad as the neocons do, whereas Iran does not want this war, right?
01:00:44.000So if you think, you know, you watch the show on Thursday and Friday and I'm suggesting it's a false flag, I'm suggesting it was some other country, Iran was not responsible,
01:00:52.000And I saw a lot of people in the comments, oh Nick, there was video, there was video, didn't you see the video?
01:00:58.000You know, people who believe the government are basically stupid and dumb idiots.
01:01:02.000I get this all the time about everything.
01:01:04.000I can't even mention which things because it's against the community guidelines on YouTube now, but basically if you believe the government, how stupid do you have to be?
01:01:13.000Oh, well, the government said that Iran attacked the tankers.
01:02:25.000According to the officials, since Friday, the White House has been holding incessant discussions involving senior military commanders, Pentagon representatives, and advisers to President Donald Trump.
01:02:35.000The military action under consideration would be an aerial bombardment of an Iranian facility linked to its nuclear program.
01:03:33.000The sources added that President Trump himself was not enthusiastic about a military move, but he lost his patience and would grant Mike Pompeo, who is pushing for action, what he wants.
01:03:45.000It's the same thing that we saw, not last week I think, but two weeks ago.
01:03:49.000We did a close reading of a similar report that was talking about, or maybe this was several weeks ago, when the waivers on the oil sanctions were expired.
01:04:00.000There were similar reports coming in the press where it says, you know, President Trump is reluctant to go to war, but John Bolton and Mike Pompeo are just pushing him, and he thinks they're getting ahead of themselves.
01:04:10.000But they want to go to war so badly, and Trump just wants to make a deal.
01:05:16.000If this is kabuki theater, and I acknowledged this two years ago, and the North Korean government says it's possible that this is happening, if they're right, they call Trump's bluff.
01:05:28.000Everybody in the government gets killed, right?
01:05:30.000So, if you do this the first time, people cannot afford to not take you seriously.
01:05:35.000If you bluff, if you bring on all these neocons of your administration and say they want to go to war, they're going to blow you up tomorrow if you don't do what I say, the first time,
01:05:46.000You can't afford to not take it seriously.
01:05:48.000So the government of North Korea or the government of Iran has to at least neutralize the situation, de-escalate, you know, and like Kim Jong-un did, be open to talks and do a big photo op and all this, but create some form of detente between them and the United States.
01:06:06.000You do it like five times, you do it five times, you know, or multiple times, and then Iran can call your bluff.
01:06:13.000You know, you say, we'll unleash fire and fury, but we just want to make a deal.
01:06:16.000We're gonna go to war tomorrow, but we just want to make a deal.
01:06:19.000We're sending three carrier strike groups, but really we don't want to go to war.
01:06:24.000Well, you do that enough times, and then what do you think happens?
01:06:27.000Eventually Iran says, yeah, okay, we'll believe it when we see it.
01:06:40.000We're just going to continue to defy American wishes.
01:06:43.000And I think that's basically where we're at, which is a bit of a crisis.
01:06:47.000That's a little bit problematic because, you know, for us, containment was actually a very good approach to these situations.
01:06:54.000Containment was a very low-risk way, low-cost way of achieving peripheral American foreign policy interests, in the sense that we look at North Korea, denuclearizing North Korea.
01:07:06.000In my estimation, that was something that was worth going to war over.
01:07:10.000I don't know if I was in favor of war, if I would say that that should have been our first approach, you know, that should have been our
01:07:58.000Arguably, if the serious strike was in service of North Korea, that cost us however much the missiles cost, it cost us whatever it is to deploy strike groups, however much it cost to have our troops in South Korea, which South Korea actually pays for their presence.
01:08:13.000It's cheaper to station them there than in America, I'm pretty sure.
01:08:17.000So to do a strategy like that is something that nobody goes to war, nobody dies on our side, it doesn't cost us a lot of money, and ultimately you strong-arm North Korea into changing course a little bit.
01:08:29.000And obviously North Korea is having mixed results, but it's better than where we started.
01:08:33.000The problem becomes once the rogue state gets wise to this, once in North Korea, once Iran gets wise to this, and they say, you know, you could sail as many warships around our country, you could sanction us, it really doesn't matter.
01:08:48.000We're willing to just rely on this sort of parallel system that's being built to challenge the dollar, which is China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, you know, all the other rogue countries.
01:08:58.000We're willing to just endure the economic pain until other economies are able to make up the difference.
01:09:05.000And we know you're not going to go to war with us.
01:09:07.000Well, then that's when it becomes problematic, because then you've got Trump in the White House making big threats, making these grandiose statements, and then our credibility is on the line.
01:09:16.000If you keep telling Iran, if you don't act as we want, we're going to blow you up, and you continue to not blow them up, well then nobody takes you seriously.
01:09:24.000And that's sort of when we have this crisis of confidence.
01:09:26.000When that happens, then you have to attack somebody.
01:10:08.000And when that happens, again, the impulse is to attack.
01:10:10.000And so, well, on the one hand, I look at this report and I say, this is just laughable.
01:10:15.000You know, here we are again, Mike Pompeo and John Bolton just really want to blow up Iran, but Trump is trying to resist, but he can't hold on any longer.
01:10:57.000Even if America went into Iran and did just like a full-scale bombing campaign, like intense, with the intention of destroying Iran's entire nuclear program, if we send in bombers and we blew up every centrifuge, every facility, every element in the process of enriching, refining, uranium, building nuclear devices, anything like that, we wiped out their whole nuclear program and we were successful.
01:11:22.000Do you know how long it would take them to reconstitute it completely?
01:11:26.000It would take them six months to rebuild their nuclear program.
01:11:29.000So if we went in there, and that's not even what they're saying, that's not even what they're promising, okay?
01:11:34.000But just to illustrate how ridiculous this is, if we went in, we destroyed their whole nuclear program, and we, that would be impossible, only because we don't even know all the facilities that they have.
01:11:45.000We're not even aware of all the facilities.
01:11:47.000Some of them are so far underground, like I believe at Fordow, that
01:11:51.000It's questionable if our bombs could even blow up those facilities.
01:11:54.000So, assuming that we could, we knew all the facilities, we could blow them all up.
01:11:58.000If we destroyed everything that we could, it would take them approximately six to nine months to reconstitute their nuclear program, their centrifuges, they'd be ready to go enriching uranium again.
01:12:09.000So all these people say, we're gonna take it to them, we're gonna take the fight to them, we're gonna denuclearize them.
01:14:47.000This emboldens everybody in Iran who is against America, they retaliate, we then have to retaliate, and so on and so on until it's out of our control then.
01:14:56.000And look, maybe it doesn't escalate into full-scale ground war.
01:14:58.000It doesn't necessarily end in that outcome, but you do understand that it's no longer in our control how far this escalates.
01:15:06.000It very well could happen that we take out one facility and Iran says, okay, okay, we're going to come to the table.
01:15:13.000It's a possibility that we take out one facility, Iran retaliates, we retaliate, and then Iran says, okay, okay, we're coming to the table.
01:15:24.000But the point being is, once you start blowing people up, once you start blowing up facilities, and actually it's America versus Iran, American ships blowing up Iranian government facilities, well, once that happens, it's no longer in your control.
01:15:40.000So if they keep retaliating, they keep escalating and daring us to go to war, well then, maybe that's something that, you know, people are just going to have to deal with, you know?
01:15:49.000And I'm not, I don't mean to say that in the way that I'm for it, I mean that in the sense that there will be momentum to this escalation that might not be able to be stopped once we embark on that path, is what I mean.
01:16:00.000That once the neocons get to take out one facility and Iran escalates and so on,
01:16:06.000It might be out of President Trump's hands.
01:16:08.000As much as he may want to pull us back from the brink, as much as we don't want to go to war, it'll be one of those situations where we're forced into it.
01:16:15.000And I know somebody commented, I think it was actually Pete Buttigieg, which is unfortunate because we don't care for him, but he said that it was eerily similar to the buildup to the invasion in Iraq.
01:16:23.000Now I laughed at people and they said that about Syria because it wasn't true, but if there is some kind of a strike on Iran, it will be a mirror of what the buildup to Iraq looked like.
01:16:33.000And I'll say at the outset, you know, like I've been saying for weeks and weeks, an invasion of Iran would be totally impractical.
01:16:39.000For all the people that are saying, war is imminent, we're going to be invading soon, you know, there's this rumor about a targeted surgical airstrike and that means ground invasion is around the corner.
01:17:49.000It says Iran announced on Monday that it will be increasing uranium enrichment and will surpass the enrichment cap of 3.67% that was agreed upon in the nuclear deal signed with the Obama administration.
01:18:01.000Nuclear enrichment needed for weapons is 90%, but they said that they would increase their enrichment levels to 20% to use in their reactors.
01:18:09.000So Iran's not really helping us, right?
01:18:12.000If we say that Iran blew up a ship, and it's probably not Iran that did it, but if we say that, in other words, communicating to the world and to Iran, we've created our pretext to attack you.
01:18:23.000We've created our pretext to introduce a thousand more troops to the Middle East like they did, or send more warships like they did, or ultimately,
01:18:30.000Well, you know, again, are we at the point where we're going to go to war with Iran anytime soon?
01:18:46.000Probably not, but we're closer to there than we were yesterday.
01:19:02.000And it has been argued that Iran was pursuing a nuclear capability, which means that they wanted all the pieces in place essentially to build a nuclear arsenal if they wanted one.
01:19:12.000In other words, you have a certain amount of enriched uranium, you have all the infrastructure in place, you have the missile technology, you have the warhead technology, and so on.
01:19:21.000And that means, and that's a distinction, a capability meaning you could construct one.
01:19:26.000You have the know-how, you have the resources, you have the infrastructure, you have the scientists.
01:19:30.000There's a lot of human capital that goes into this as well.
01:19:33.000An arsenal means you actually have a bomb that you could blow up on somebody, right?
01:19:37.000It was like 10 years ago that Bibi Netanyahu said at the United Nations that Iran is 95% of the way to a bomb.
01:19:45.000You know, in all the alarmists that were saying, Iran is developing a bomb, Iran, we need the nuclear program, and even the nuclear, or rather the nuclear deal, even the nuclear deal won't stop them from getting a bomb.
01:19:55.000They still don't have a bomb, as far as we know, and I think that's pretty good intelligence, right?
01:19:59.000They've been more compliant with the IAEA than Israel was when Israel was developing their nuclear program.
01:20:06.000So in all this, all this conflict, right, all of this controversy over the Iranian nuclear program, they still to date have never demonstrated a nuclear capability or a nuclear arsenal.
01:20:18.000And yet we're already like thinking about going to war with them.
01:20:26.000Now, that's not to say that non-proliferation is not in our interest, but it is to say that until it becomes a much greater concern, until, you know, they actually are going to acquire a bomb, containment will do just fine.
01:20:39.000There are many other options we can pursue.
01:20:41.000Moreover, if we're going to do any kind of regime change or anything like that, let Saudi Arabia take care of it.
01:21:34.000You know, these rumors that we're hearing, this oil tanker explosion, Iran being totally non-compliant and, you know, they're trying to stick up a big middle finger to America.
01:21:45.000It definitely seems like we are further along on the road to some form of regime change, some form of kinetic action than we were yesterday or last week or a few months ago.
01:23:10.000We've got Sam Day who says, I can't wait for another hollow costly war.
01:23:15.000Yeah, it's gonna be great Well, hey, you know who knows maybe we'll get to deploy in Tehran I'll get to do the floss over some ancient Persian monument or something, you know, I'll be able to do the default dance After we blow up some Persians not all bad.
01:23:29.000It's not all bad and on you know And I will I will say this and this is not don't don't take this the wrong way but there's a lot of people in
01:23:38.000On the right-wing Twitter side, who are always pining for violence, they're always talking about, and it's so transparent what that is.
01:23:46.000But a lot of people on right-wing Twitter are like, oh, we were born in a time where you just have to work all day in a cubicle and you're like a slave and, you know, it's not like the old days where you could be a gladiator or a knight or a soldier, you know, something like that.
01:24:02.000And it's always interesting the overlap.
01:24:04.000The same people that are always talking about, I want collapse, I want violence, I want to be a warrior, all this.
01:24:09.000They're always the ones complaining about having to go and fight a war.
01:24:13.000Now that's not to say that I don't sympathize with both sides.
01:24:24.000You know, there's a lot of contradictions.
01:24:26.000People that say, I hate modern society, I hate technology, but they want to preserve Western civilization because of its high culture and civilization, you know?
01:25:29.000You know, people telling me, Nick, you've got to change the time when you do your show.
01:25:32.000You just can't compete with this other show.
01:25:34.000Or, you know, Nick, your numbers aren't as good as this E-drama show.
01:25:38.000Or, Nick, we're keeping you up at night because we're doing better numbers than you.
01:25:43.000And so for a long time, you heard all these different challengers and all, you know, really hot for a week, you know, really hot for a month.
01:27:29.000I thought that was a super serious super chat, but I had to call it out for what it is.
01:27:33.000Tyrone says amazing how Sam Hyde has won one hundredth of the subscribers of someone like h3h3, but his magnitude more culturally significant shows the underground is powerful.
01:27:46.000I'm continually amazed by how powerful our internet community is.
01:27:51.000You know, you look at a lot of people who have 100, 200,000 followers, a lot of these alt-right type people, and their engagement is garbage.
01:28:38.000We're the ones that invented, like, the whole Yang Gang thing.
01:28:40.000Where do you think that came from, right?
01:28:42.000So, I'm not gonna say we, I'm not gonna take total credit for it, but, you know, the underground culture, you're right, is disproportionately powerful.
01:34:03.000I like applied for the fall semester, but I didn't get any like financial aid because I missed the deadline for applying.
01:34:10.000Anyway, long story short, couldn't apply in the I could not attend in the fall, even though I was admitted.
01:34:16.000So I called like five different people who are all unhelpful.
01:34:18.000And I was like, can I defer my enrollment to the spring so I could go on the spring when I will have financial aid or I'll work a little bit, save up money, whatever.
01:34:28.000And they told me no because the Charlottesville stuff happens.
01:34:31.000They were like, no, we're not going to let you in again.
01:34:34.000And there was word, I have a lot of people who I know there who were like, oh yeah, I have a friend who works at admissions, they said, to say that Nick isn't attending the school and this and that.
01:36:01.000We're gonna have a big problem and the problem is gonna end with the fashion being bashed All right, it's gonna be Nazis Just like the last time
01:36:11.000Anyway, sorry, got a little heated there, but I'm sure you understand.
01:36:16.000When it comes to God's chosen people, when it comes to the beautiful and exceptional Jews, I just, I'm very defensive.
01:36:24.000I have a very defensive impulse about them.
01:36:26.000Ever since those community guidelines in my heart changed, I just, you know, I just can't sit back and watch that stuff as a bystander anymore.
01:36:36.000Anyway, Mark says, is James Mason tech or cringe?
01:38:09.000I bet they would do the same thing with Syria They try to hit something that wasn't you know, that didn't have anybody in there.
01:38:15.000Maybe they'd warn Iran ahead of time I would imagine so probably none Earthquakes as you've heard of peepee poopoo, but have you heard of peepee poopoo?
01:39:24.000Out of respect to you, I will leave the Poles alone.
01:39:27.000Even though the Poles relentlessly attack Italians, the Italians, once again, will be the biggest people in the history of mankind and rise above in every single way, shape, and form.
01:41:27.000To have, to have knowledge, you know, it's like, remember when Thanos said in Avengers Endgame, or he said in Avengers Infinity Wars, you're not the only one who's cursed with knowledge.
01:42:54.000John says Iran's military is a lot bigger than Ho Chi Minh's.
01:42:57.000Couple this with Iran's inhospitable terrain and united people and you've got a recipe for a Vietnam too that will destabilize us to a societal low not seen yet.
01:45:23.000Because we're not gonna be able to fight back.
01:45:26.000You know, people say, oh, up until a certain weapon, it's legal, like an assault rifle, semi-automatic assault rifles, as much as we can do.
01:45:35.000Well, that doesn't help you when the government's got a lot, you know, a lot more sophisticated weaponry and intelligence and a military and, you know, the surveillance state.
01:46:16.000That's that's what I was looking for Anthony says Stalin their puppet or their enemy and he's indicating there, you know some kind of globalist coalition Definitely.
01:49:26.000I'm not saying I'm not saying it's bad I'm not saying you can't be proud to be southern or anything like that But it's just it's just not for me and I went down there.
01:49:35.000You'd love it here the the football stuff the slow war eagle
01:53:52.000I don't know why my nose is itching so much, but it's very, uh, very irritating.
01:53:57.000America First says, During the show, Jack Posobiec tweeted that a targeted missile strike is planned for early July, apparently going after uranium, as you mentioned.
01:54:53.000Yeah, that's that Israeli intelligence, which is why we give them foreign aid, right?
01:54:57.000Whenever Israelis or Zionists defend the foreign aid, they talk about the intelligence, but they give us great intelligence, and it's always lies like this.
01:55:04.000To benefit their own country, you know, surprising no one.
01:55:07.000Dog Fredify says, did you see Gina Valentina calling you out on Twitter?
01:55:11.000She's The Daily Wire's newest e-thought reporter to get boomers Social Security gives.
01:57:52.000uh q17 says please skip reading the super chat live until 9 45 p.m yeah i'll do that clown world says when are you going to do revenge of the cysts before they get banned permanently they were kind of nasty to me i forget uh what exactly was said but they were they got kind of shitty with me after i didn't like reply to their emails or something so i don't i don't know if i'm gonna do that

02:00:36.000Bad Attitude says, would you debate vegan gains on the 19th amendment and maybe the JQ?
02:00:40.000He thinks he's himself an intellectual.
02:00:42.000It would be great and bring in a huge audience.
02:00:44.000If he's... if he's got clout, yeah, I'll debate him.
02:00:48.000Dumbass says, I love watching my favorite show, Bikini Bottom First, with Spongebob Squarepants and hearing him read the squirrel joke superchats every day.
02:01:30.000That's true, and of course we know that if Thanos snapped his fingers in real life, the greatest tragedy would be that half the Jews died, you know?
02:02:20.000I was on there a little bit before the election, but not, I didn't have like a, you know, I never had a Reddit account and I never really was on there.
02:02:32.000They sometimes posted my articles on there But yeah, not really surprising the guy that runs the are the Donald Twitter account is like the cringiest boomer ever so Unsurprising and yeah, I agree everybody should legally own weapons got to prepare got to prepare because the government won't be able to protect you and some people might say they're already not able to protect you and
02:02:53.000Video Game Snakes says, should we legalize nukes and drone strikes?
02:10:44.000I mean, if you're high IQ, if you know what you're talking about, you know that when the Bible says that Jesus is Jewish, it's not the same as rabbinical Jews.
