America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Why I Support the Syria Strike | America First Ep. 146

00:00:06.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:07.000 You're watching America First.

00:00:08.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:14.000 Wow, wow.

00:00:15.000 What a big weekend.

00:00:17.000 What a big and exciting weekend.

00:00:19.000 Lots going on in the world.

00:00:22.000 And you got to know what we're talking about.

00:00:23.000 You have to know what we're talking about because we have to talk about it on the show tonight, which is obviously what in the world?

00:00:31.000 What's going on, folks?

00:00:33.000 What is happening in Syria?

00:00:36.000 And we talked about it a little bit on Friday towards the tail end of the show.

00:00:40.000 We were watching for the strikes.

00:00:42.000 And of course, we spent all week last week on Syria, the whole week.

00:00:46.000 I think it was every show except for Thursday.

00:00:50.000 Thursday, we even talked about it.

00:00:51.000 Every show last week was about Syria.

00:00:54.000 And Tuesday, we were watching it live, waiting for the announcement from the Pentagon.

00:00:58.000 Wednesday, we're watching it live.

00:01:00.000 Thursday, we're watching it live.

00:01:02.000 Friday, we get a guest on the show.

00:01:04.000 We're doing a call in show.

00:01:07.000 And that's when they choose to strike.

00:01:09.000 The one day. 0.50

00:01:10.000 When we're not talking about Syria, when we're not watching it very closely, that's when the strike happens.

00:01:16.000 And so, of course, there was a strike in Syria on Friday by a coalition of the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

00:01:26.000 And we caught the beginning of the strike at the end of the show on Friday, and it turned into a big controversy in Knicker Nation.

00:01:34.000 Of course, as it always does with the Black Pillars, as it always does with the Black Pillars, before the bombs even stop falling, Everybody's got a big problem with Nick and his predictions and what he says. 0.52

00:01:48.000 Neocon Nick, Nick's a Zionist show, all this stuff. 0.59

00:01:53.000 And so we saw the strike play out on Friday. 0.80

00:01:55.000 It played out exactly according to my prediction on Friday.

00:01:59.000 Saturday, I did a periscope very, very late Friday night and gave my initial take.

00:02:05.000 We've seen some of the reactions from the White House, from France, from Russia, from Iran, other actors in the region, other actors involved in Syria.

00:02:16.000 And now we've really seen the effects of it.

00:02:18.000 On Friday, we really didn't get a full grasp of what happened because until very late, we didn't understand how many missiles were fired, who fired what missiles, which targets were hit, how many people were killed, etc., etc.

00:02:32.000 So we have all the details and we want to give you basically just a full debriefing of what's happening there.

00:02:38.000 There was another strike today by Israel, what happened there, why it happened, the details.

00:02:44.000 We really want to explore it.

00:02:46.000 It's a shame I'm ripping all the content.

00:02:48.000 From World Report, which is for tomorrow.

00:02:51.000 You know, our foreign affairs podcast is really going to suffer in terms of content.

00:02:55.000 I kid, it's going to be great anyway.

00:02:56.000 But, you know, today's going to have to be a show about foreign affairs because, you know, we talk about it for five days and then he finally strikes.

00:03:04.000 But a lot of people are very upset with me.

00:03:06.000 They were very upset with me online.

00:03:09.000 People unfollowing me, people saying very nasty things to me, people saying I've sold out, all this kind of stuff.

00:03:15.000 And we really want to break it down.

00:03:17.000 And I'm going to try to be as careful as I can.

00:03:21.000 With my language, and that I want to say exactly what I intend to say, and that I'm very precise.

00:03:26.000 So, please, I'm asking for anybody that's listening to this show, you have to have a 250 IQ even to watch.

00:03:33.000 You have to meet that threshold even to be watching this right now.

00:03:35.000 But even if there are some people that are under there, I'm asking that people really listen very closely and understand what I'm saying, and that I'm not, you know, we can have views that may seem contradictory, and I'll explain that because I know there's a lot of confusion.

00:03:51.000 So, first, we'll go into what exactly happened on Friday.

00:03:56.000 Which was Friday evening.

00:03:57.000 President Trump came on at about 8 o'clock Central Time and he announced that strikes were underway.

00:04:04.000 And it was very important what actually he said in his statement because we went through the whole timeline.

00:04:10.000 It's actually very instructive.

00:04:12.000 If you watch the show from Thursday, we went through the entire timeline of events on Thursday up until Thursday from the chemical weapons, the alleged chemical weapons attack on Saturday, all the way through up until Friday.

00:04:25.000 And there were very few developments on Friday.

00:04:28.000 No, I'm sorry.

00:04:29.000 On Friday's episode, we went through an entire timeline of Saturday to Friday.

00:04:33.000 So it's informative if you watch the Friday show to get an idea of.

00:04:36.000 What preceded the strike?

00:04:37.000 What was the buildup?

00:04:39.000 And we really went in depth on Friday at what France was saying, the UK, Russia, Iran, Syria, and the United States, and real deep background on what happened on the strike on Friday.

00:05:25.000 Is it working?

00:05:27.000 There we go.

00:05:28.000 Okay, great.

00:05:29.000 Awesome.

00:05:30.000 Awesome.

00:05:31.000 Love when we're 10 minutes in and we find out there's a technical problem.

00:05:35.000 So, anyway, we're worrying.

00:05:38.000 So, we had a really deep background on Friday.

00:05:40.000 We had a really deep background on Friday as to what the buildup was to the strike.

00:05:44.000 And today we will tell you a very in depth timeline of what has happened since the strike.

00:05:49.000 So, 8 o'clock Central Time on Friday, President Trump gave a statement.

00:05:55.000 And it was interesting because it happened very differently from last year.

00:05:58.000 Last year, Chemical weapons attack happened on a Tuesday, I believe, and within two or three days there was a strike.

00:06:05.000 There wasn't a warning about the strike, there wasn't a statement by the president.

00:06:09.000 It was an attack on Tuesday, a chemical attack on a Tuesday, and then within the week there was a strike out of a clear blue sky.

00:06:17.000 Nobody knew what was going on, nobody knew what this was.

00:06:21.000 Is it regime change?

00:06:22.000 Is it an airstrike?

00:06:23.000 Is it missiles?

00:06:24.000 Nobody knows.

00:06:25.000 And so the strike happened on a Thursday or a Friday last year, April 7, 2017.

00:06:31.000 And then President Trump, about an hour later, got on and said, This is what we did, and this is why.

00:06:37.000 This time it happened a little bit differently.

00:06:39.000 President Trump came on at about 8 o'clock central and said, The attack is underway as I'm speaking to you right now.

00:06:46.000 And it's actually important that you go back and you listen to the exact statement by President Trump because the wording was very crucial here.

00:06:54.000 The rhetoric was very important.

00:06:55.000 And of course, nobody wanted to listen to this while the bombs were still falling.

00:06:59.000 Nobody wanted to listen to me when I said, No, go back and listen to the statement because it's very important.

00:07:04.000 Nobody wanted to hear it on Friday because bombs were dropping. 0.60

00:07:07.000 World War III, war with Russia now.

00:07:10.000 Get in your fallout shelter.

00:07:11.000 You know, everybody was freaking out on Friday.

00:07:13.000 Nobody wanted to listen to what was said.

00:07:15.000 But if you go back and listen to the statement, do it again.

00:07:19.000 It's seven minutes.

00:07:20.000 And what he said was so important.

00:07:23.000 He said in the first place, he said that we cannot change what's going on in the Middle East.

00:07:28.000 It was very crucial.

00:07:30.000 It was very important.

00:07:31.000 The wording was very deliberate.

00:07:32.000 He said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that the United States cannot fix the Middle East.

00:07:37.000 It is simply not.

00:07:38.000 Feasible for us to adjust, for us to control, for us to fix what's going on in the region.

00:07:45.000 And I'm paraphrasing again, but he said basically, we neither can do this and we're not going to.

00:07:52.000 He said, the Middle East is a troubled place and it always will be.

00:07:56.000 And unless people figure it out there, it's going to be that way. 1.00

00:07:59.000 There's nothing we can do.

00:08:00.000 He said, ultimately, it's up to the people in the region to decide the fate of the region, which is by far and away already a big difference from the rhetoric of the Libyan intervention.

00:08:13.000 In 2011 or 2013, then the Iraq war, then the Afghanistan war.

00:08:20.000 Already the rhetoric is different.

00:08:22.000 A neoconservative, and I talked about this on the Bloodsports on Saturday with James.

00:08:28.000 We got into a little bit about Syria, and I challenged him and I said, Do you actually know what neoconservative means?

00:08:34.000 And this is a problem I see all the time on the right wing every foreign intervention is a neocon.

00:08:40.000 Every foreign intervention, every exercise of military force, Whether it's in Asia or the Middle East, no matter what it is, missile strike, airstrike, invasion, it's neocon.

00:08:50.000 It's all neocon.

00:08:51.000 You want an intervention, it's neocon.

00:08:53.000 Wrong, wrong.

00:08:55.000 And that's not to say we're okay with neoconservatism.

00:08:58.000 It means we have to have nuance.

00:09:00.000 We have to have a little bit of nuance into the conversation because the world is a complicated place.

00:09:05.000 I'm a non interventionist, which means that I don't believe it's generally a good idea to intervene in situations around the world.

00:09:14.000 A neoconservative.

00:09:17.000 Originates actually from the Trotskyists.

00:09:20.000 The neoconservative thought actually originates from the writings of Leon Trotsky, who was the leader of the Red Army in the Russian Civil War after the Russian Revolution.

00:09:30.000 Trotsky was a Bolshevik, if you're familiar.

00:09:33.000 Trotsky led the Red Army after the 1917 October Revolution of the Bolsheviks in St. Petersburg.

00:09:40.000 He led them to victory in 1922 when the Soviet Union was established.

00:09:45.000 Later, he got exiled from the Soviet Union and assassinated on the order of Joseph Stalin with a pickaxe. 0.61

00:09:52.000 In Mexico, I think it was.

00:09:54.000 But ultimately, Leon Trotsky, what he believed in was international revolution.

00:09:59.000 Leon Trotsky believed that communism was not confined to Russia.

00:10:03.000 He believed that we had to spread it across the globe.

00:10:05.000 And so that's why during the Russian Civil War from 17 to 1922, you had the Soviets sponsoring communist uprisings in Germany, in Hungary.

00:10:16.000 They sponsored the communists as well as the nationalists in China.

00:10:20.000 And they sponsored these insurrections all over the globe in Mongolia and East Europe and all over the place.

00:10:25.000 Even there were some.

00:10:27.000 Some non communist revolutions in the Middle East, in Egypt.

00:10:30.000 And Trotsky believed in an international revolution.

00:10:33.000 He believed in the power of ideas, that we had to invade countries and invade them with ideas.

00:10:37.000 And so it's important we understand it comes from Trotsky because the neoconservatives were liberals.

00:10:42.000 They were liberals in the 40s, the 50s, the 60s in America. 0.70

00:10:47.000 They were left wing people, but they understood that we had to be hard on the Soviet Union.

00:10:51.000 They were American leftists, but they thought, you know what, we have to get a little bit tougher on our foreign policy.

00:10:57.000 We have to get a little bit tougher on communism.

00:10:59.000 And And this kind of thought evolved over the course of time.

00:11:03.000 There was a really good article, actually, in American Conservative, I think last week, and they wrote that there really is no great thinker of the neoconservative doctrine.

00:11:13.000 All the great doctrines of foreign affairs, whether it's realism, idealism, constructionism, whatever it is, there's a great thinker.

00:11:21.000 You know, you have Kenneth Waltz, you have Mearsheimer, you have all kinds of people, effectively, except for neoconservatism.

00:11:29.000 They don't have a great thinker.

00:11:31.000 So it's kind of hard to track.

00:11:32.000 Wholly the line of thinking, but by the 1990s, they start to consolidate, they start to coalesce around this way of thinking, and then they gain power in the Bush administration.

00:11:43.000 And you have all kinds of neoconservatives.

00:11:45.000 You have Pearl, you have Wolfowitz, you have Rumsfeld, you have all kinds of people in the Defense Department and the State Department.

00:11:51.000 You have John Bolton, one of them, who's in the Trump administration now as a national security chief.

00:11:56.000 And what the neoconservatives believed was that we should go into the Middle East, we should go into Afghanistan, we should go into Iraq.

00:12:05.000 First of all, we invade.

00:12:06.000 Not airstrikes as it was in Libya, not missile strikes as it was in Syria. 0.96

00:12:11.000 We have to go in and invade. 0.99

00:12:13.000 We have to go in with ground troops and we have to occupy.

00:12:16.000 And then it wasn't enough that we occupy, it wasn't enough that there was regime change.

00:12:21.000 We have to mold a new society.

00:12:24.000 We essentially have to terraform. 0.95

00:12:25.000 So the kind of thing that we saw, the kind of transformation we saw in Germany and Japan after World War II, or in South Korea after the Korean War, That's the kind of thing they wanted to see in Iraq. 0.65

00:12:37.000 It wasn't sufficient that we install a leader that favors our interests.

00:12:43.000 It was that we put in place and impose a new order in that country that is democratic, that is liberal, that is Western.

00:12:51.000 And in doing so, we make the world safer for democracy.

00:12:55.000 We make the world liberal.

00:12:57.000 We declaw, we defang these countries, and we can kind of let them go autonomously. 1.00

00:13:02.000 And they'll be like Japan. 0.98

00:13:03.000 They'll be like South Korea.

00:13:05.000 They won't be a threat.

00:13:05.000 And so it's very important to establish.

00:13:07.000 That's what neoconservatism is.

00:13:09.000 And the rhetoric we heard in the Iraq war, the rhetoric we heard in Libya, was we have to go in and make it democratic.

00:13:16.000 In Iraq, we heard we have to topple Saddam Hussein and we have to liberate the Iraqi people.

00:13:21.000 We have to make them democratic.

00:13:23.000 We have to establish Iraq as this satellite of the United States and that will shine as the shining city in the Middle East and they can spread Western ideas from there.

00:13:34.000 In 2000, it was 11 or 2013, when we went into Libya, Barack Obama said Gaddafi has to either stop attacking his citizens, he has to stop doing something that we personally don't like.

00:13:47.000 Or we invade and we let the will of the people be executed by the ballot box.

00:13:52.000 We have to install a democracy.

00:13:55.000 That is not what President Trump said on Friday.

00:13:58.000 It wasn't.

00:13:59.000 And I'm not being a neocon apologist for saying that.

00:14:02.000 If we heard that on Friday, I would say we're off the Trump train.

00:14:06.000 He's compromised.

00:14:07.000 They've got something on him.

00:14:09.000 It's terrible.

00:14:09.000 But he didn't go on the television on Friday and say we have to make Syria safer democracy.

00:14:14.000 We have to depose Assad and install elections.

00:14:17.000 He didn't say that.

00:14:18.000 He said, We neither can nor should change the Middle East. 1.00

00:14:23.000 There is something intrinsically wrong with it. 0.97

00:14:26.000 It is a troubled region, and there's nothing we can do about it. 0.95

00:14:30.000 He said, We will be a partner and a friend, a partner and a friend, but ultimately it's up to the people in the region to decide the fate of the Middle East.

00:14:38.000 That is nothing even close to what George W. Bush said.

00:14:42.000 That's nothing close to what Barack Obama said, and that matters.

00:14:45.000 Additionally, he said, There would be no occupation of Syria.

00:14:49.000 He said, we cannot allow an indefinite occupation of Syria under no circumstances.

00:14:57.000 He said, we don't seek regime change.

00:14:59.000 The reason we're doing the strike is to deter the use of chemical weapons.

00:15:04.000 So understand this.

00:15:06.000 In the George W. Bush rhetoric, we heard we can change the Middle East. 0.92

00:15:10.000 We should.

00:15:11.000 We have to make it safe for democracy.

00:15:13.000 We have to lead the way.

00:15:15.000 When Barack Obama did airstrikes in Libya with the NATO coalition, he said, America has to lead the way.

00:15:21.000 We have to do it.

00:15:23.000 They said, and even George Bush in 2003 said, We may be there for a long time.

00:15:28.000 Donald Trump said none of that on Friday.

00:15:30.000 He said, We can't change it.

00:15:31.000 We shouldn't change it.

00:15:32.000 We'll be a partner and a friend, but there's not much else we can do.

00:15:36.000 He said, Under no circumstances will there be an indefinite occupation of Syria.

00:15:41.000 And lastly, no part of the justification or the reason for the strikes was regime change.

00:15:48.000 It was to deter the use of chemical weapons.

00:15:51.000 And that plays a big part in, we'll discuss later.

00:15:54.000 Why this happened.

00:15:55.000 We'll get into why this happened once we lay out the timeline.

00:15:57.000 So, very important we establish what Donald Trump said in a statement.

00:16:00.000 And I encourage everybody to watch it.

00:16:02.000 You know very quickly he's not compromised.

00:16:04.000 You know he's not a neocon if you know what a neocon is.

00:16:08.000 And you watch that statement because everything that was in there is pretty solid Trump stuff.

00:16:13.000 Pentagon comes on at 10 o'clock Eastern Standard Time.

00:16:16.000 It's Defense Secretary Mattis and a general from the Middle East.

00:16:21.000 And they say some important things.

00:16:22.000 They didn't really know all the details at the time, but the important stuff that they said was that this was a one off strike.

00:16:29.000 If Assad uses chemical weapons again, we might strike again, but we will not automatically respond to a chemical weapons strike.

00:16:37.000 So, in President Trump's statement, there was one word that caused confusion and was cause for concern, which we talked about on Friday, which was that he said there would be sustained strikes.

00:16:47.000 And people said, What does that mean?

00:16:49.000 When President Trump says we don't seek regime change, whatever, all fine and well, but then he said there'd be a sustained strike.

00:16:55.000 And people said, Does sustained mean it goes on for the evening?

00:16:58.000 Does sustained mean it goes on until tomorrow or next week or a month or there'll be more?

00:17:03.000 Who knows what that means?

00:17:05.000 The Pentagon came on at 10 o'clock Eastern and they said it was a one off strike.

00:17:09.000 We have no further strikes planned.

00:17:09.000 That's it.

00:17:14.000 And even if there was a chemical weapons usage, we might not automatically strike again.

00:17:18.000 So, the Pentagon comes on and says that.

00:17:20.000 By Saturday morning, we learned the full details of the strike.

00:17:24.000 And I'll read them for you here because it's very important that we go over the details very closely.

00:17:30.000 So, it was a coalition missile strike, it was Tomahawk cruise missiles.

00:17:34.000 That's what the U.S. used.

00:17:36.000 The U.K. and France used similar variants off of the Tomahawk missile.

00:17:40.000 It was missile strikes against three targets in Syria, France, or excuse me, it was three, three, the missile strike was against three targets in Syria by France, the UK, and the United States.

00:17:53.000 The strike was 105 missiles launched from air and sea platforms in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Persian Gulf.

00:18:01.000 So in total, it was 105 missiles.

00:18:04.000 Last year, it was 59 missiles.

00:18:06.000 So people said it was double, it was this huge attack.

00:18:08.000 Last year, it was 59 missiles.

00:18:10.000 This year was 105.

00:18:12.000 So a little bit under double what it was last year.

00:18:14.000 And the United States involvement in terms of missiles, we launched about 70, I believe it was 78 or so missiles.

00:18:21.000 We did not even constitute anywhere near double the missiles we launched last year.

00:18:26.000 It was only a little bit more on our part that was launched from last year.

00:18:30.000 Last year was 59.

00:18:31.000 This time we did about 20 more than we did last year.

00:18:33.000 But in total, with the UK and France also involved, it was 105 missiles launched from air and sea platforms in the Red Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Persian Gulf.

00:18:44.000 The missile struck the Barza Research and Development Center outside Damascus, as well as two targets in the Him Shinshar Chemical Weapons Complex outside Homs.

00:18:56.000 Homs is in western Syria.

00:18:58.000 They struck an air base last year in Homs.

00:19:02.000 Israel struck an air base in Homs last Sunday, and they did again today, and we'll get to that in a moment.

00:19:11.000 So they struck the two targets in the Him Shinshar Chemical Weapons Complex.

00:19:16.000 And they said they destroyed a chemical weapons storage facility and they sustained a lot of damage on a chemical weapons bunker there.

00:19:23.000 So, out of 105 missiles that were launched, they hit these three targets.

00:19:27.000 One was a research center, the others were a chemical weapons storage facility and a chemical weapons bunker.

00:19:33.000 All the targets were hit.

00:19:34.000 The bunker was only damaged, but the other two were destroyed.

00:19:38.000 And out of 105 missiles that were launched, Russia and Syria say that about 70 of those were intercepted by Syrian air defenses, which is important.

00:19:47.000 They were not intercepted by Russia, they were intercepted by.

00:19:50.000 Syria.

00:19:52.000 So the Assad regime later reported that day because people said, you know, oh my gosh, this is war in Syria.

00:19:57.000 This is regime change.

00:19:59.000 President Trump comes on and says, no, it's not.

00:20:01.000 Just one strike.

00:20:03.000 And they say, oh no, well, this is degrading Assad's ability to fight his civil war in Syria.

00:20:08.000 Well, it turns out the Assad government comes on on Saturday and they say that the strikes were basically completely ineffective.

00:20:15.000 The facilities that were struck were evacuated days before, there were zero casualties.

00:20:21.000 And they actually made no impact, no significant impact at all on the Assad regime's capability to fight the civil war.

00:20:30.000 People said this is going to hamstring Assad, this is backdoor regime change, no such thing.

00:20:36.000 People were actually celebrating in Damascus after the strikes.

00:20:40.000 That morning in Syria, people were celebrating, waving the Syrian flag, and actually the effect of the strikes was to rally support for the Syrian people around the Assad government.

00:20:51.000 So if the strike was intended to do backdoor regime change, We ended up bombing three empty facilities, which, if there's no chemical weapons, as the critics say, as the skeptics say, then it did nothing.

00:21:06.000 All they did was blow up a research and development center and storage facilities, which shouldn't have even been housing any chemical weapons at all.

00:21:13.000 If people say that he doesn't have chemical weapons, or if you believe he does, then it takes out the chemical weapons.

00:21:18.000 But they bombed these three empty facilities.

00:21:21.000 No people in there, no casualties.

00:21:23.000 We didn't kill any Russians, we didn't kill any Syrians, we didn't kill any Iranians.

00:21:27.000 And Assad comes back and says, Yeah, no effect. 0.98

00:21:30.000 And now I will carry on my duty killing rebels, killing terrorists, that kind of thing. 0.51

00:21:35.000 And actually, the effect was that Syrians are now more in favor of the Assad government. 0.97

00:21:39.000 Than they were before the strikes.

00:21:42.000 And so we look at some of the main concerns that we heard the night of the strikes and after the strikes.

00:21:47.000 And one of the preeminent concerns before and after was war with Russia.

00:21:52.000 We saw the strikes coming down on Friday.

00:21:54.000 And the first concern people had was oh my God, you're going to hit Russians.

00:21:59.000 You're going to hit Russians, and it's going to be World War III. 0.97

00:22:02.000 You're either going to hit and kill Russians, in which case Russia will respond, or you're going to launch your missiles and Russia will intercept them. 0.97

00:22:11.000 And if Russia intercepts American missiles, Russia is directly confronting America in a military basis. 0.65

00:22:18.000 We've confronted them diplomatically with sanctions, through proxies, but this would be the first time in a long time that Americans and Russians confronted each other directly.

00:22:27.000 So the biggest concern was Russia is going to retaliate in some way.

00:22:32.000 That didn't happen.

00:22:33.000 Our missiles went right through, didn't kill anybody, didn't kill any Syrians, let alone Russians, and actually came out that we cleared the strike with the Russians before the strike even began.

00:22:43.000 And the Russians gave a tip to the Syrian government, to the Assad government. 0.73

00:22:47.000 Hey, evacuate all your facilities. 0.57

00:22:49.000 And that's why there were no casualties. 0.85

00:22:50.000 So before the strike began, we said, Hey, Russia, we're going to do the strike. 0.97

00:22:54.000 You better clear out. 0.66

00:22:55.000 The Russian government said, Hey, Assad, clear your guys out of these facilities.

00:22:59.000 It's going to be trouble.

00:23:00.000 We bombed them.

00:23:01.000 No casualties, no escalation, no confrontation, no retaliation. 0.99

00:23:06.000 We're good with Russia. 0.86

00:23:07.000 So the first big concern on Friday, it goes from our starting point for the black-pilled position on Syria was World War III, war with Russia, nuclear war now. 0.80

00:23:18.000 It's scary.

00:23:19.000 I'm Being my pants.

00:23:22.000 Yeah, no, didn't happen. 0.91

00:23:23.000 We cleared it with Russia.

00:23:25.000 No retaliation.

00:23:25.000 No such thing.

00:23:26.000 And this, by the way, just goes to show Russia talks really tough. 0.73

00:23:31.000 They're not tough. 0.82

00:23:32.000 Russia, and Barack Obama said this a lot during his presidency Russia has to beat their chest and do these kinds of things because they are weak. 0.78

00:23:41.000 They have to pretend like they're projecting strength so that they can hide their weakness. 0.86

00:23:45.000 And you don't have to believe me.

00:23:46.000 This is what Sun Tzu says.

00:23:48.000 This is what Sun Tzu says in The Art of War.

00:23:50.000 When you're weak, Act like you're strong. 0.62

00:23:52.000 And so Russia is not strong at all.

00:23:54.000 They said if America launches missiles in Syria, we'll shoot them down.

00:23:58.000 And they didn't.

00:23:59.000 They didn't.

00:24:00.000 They got cucked.

00:24:01.000 And Russia is not as strong as the United States.

00:24:04.000 So right away, the first concern is gone.

00:24:06.000 There's no escalation.

00:24:07.000 Russia is not going to attack the United States.

00:24:10.000 They had their chance and they choked.

00:24:13.000 They chickened out first.

00:24:14.000 The next big concern was regime change.

00:24:17.000 Donald Trump is going to war in Syria.

00:24:19.000 Donald Trump is going to war in Syria.

00:24:21.000 We heard this last year too.

00:24:23.000 After the one off missile strike in Syria last year, we heard from Mike Cernovich and others.

00:24:28.000 I have it on good authority that there will be a 100,000 ground force invasion, 100,000 strong ground invasion of Syria by June 1st. 0.86

00:24:37.000 We heard this with absolute certainty from the Black Pillars last year. 0.89

00:24:42.000 And this year we hear the same thing.

00:24:43.000 Donald Trump is going to war in Syria.

00:24:45.000 He said sustained strikes.

00:24:46.000 This isn't the end of it.

00:24:48.000 And then we hear from the Pentagon no, it's a one off.

00:24:50.000 No further strikes planned.

00:24:52.000 That's it.

00:24:53.000 So, no attempt at regime change.

00:24:55.000 The next concern people had in mind with regime change was people said, We're going to degrade Assad's ability to conduct the war in Syria.

00:25:02.000 People were retweeting an unconfirmed report that there was some kind of ISIS assault going on on the Assad government during the strikes.

00:25:10.000 People said, ISIS is attacking the Assad government while the United States is attacking the Assad government.

00:25:16.000 Trump, how does it feel to be ISIS's air force?

00:25:19.000 Yeah, well, it turns out that actually later that day, after the strikes were concluded, Assad took control of eastern Ghouta, which was the last rebel stronghold in Damascus, which is where the strikes were.

00:25:31.000 So people said, oh, this is backdoor regime change.

00:25:34.000 This is sick. 0.80

00:25:35.000 This is sick. 0.54

00:25:36.000 We're secretly.

00:25:37.000 Destroying Assad's capability to fight his civil war.

00:25:40.000 Yeah, we blew up three empty facilities where there shouldn't have even been any chemical weapons.

00:25:44.000 There were no casualties.

00:25:46.000 And actually, the ISIS reports were unconfirmed.

00:25:49.000 And later that day, Assad made one of his biggest gains since taking over Aleppo two years ago in 2016 by taking over East Ghouta, the last rebel stronghold in Damascus.

00:26:00.000 And then additionally, the effect of the strikes on the ground was to rally support of the Syrian people around the Assad government.

00:26:07.000 And people are like, that's nice coping, Nick.

00:26:10.000 That was the actual, if you read anything on the ground after that, people were celebrating.

00:26:14.000 They said, Yeah, is that all you got, America?

00:26:17.000 Is that the best you can do?

00:26:19.000 You did nothing.

00:26:20.000 And it's true.

00:26:21.000 There was no effect on the ground.

00:26:24.000 So there's no attempt at regime change.

00:26:27.000 The other big concern people had was that there would be casualties.

00:26:30.000 People said, First, World War III, war with Russia.

00:26:33.000 Actually, no.

00:26:34.000 Well, it's regime change.

00:26:35.000 They're hurting the Assad regime.

00:26:37.000 Actually, no.

00:26:38.000 Casualties.

00:26:39.000 They're killing with the missile strikes. 0.99

00:26:41.000 Killing Syrians, they're killing innocent children. 1.00

00:26:43.000 People were telling me we were killing innocent children, you dumb idiots. 1.00

00:26:48.000 People were telling me, Nick, how could you say it's four dimensional chess, even though they're killing innocent children? 1.00

00:26:54.000 First of all, they were attacking military targets.

00:26:57.000 I don't, maybe this is a four dimensional theory.

00:27:00.000 I don't think there's a lot of innocent children on airfields, on airstrips, in chemical weapons storage facilities.

00:27:07.000 Give me a break.

00:27:09.000 But not only that, there were no casualties, no children, no Christians, no Syrians, no Russians. 0.80

00:27:15.000 Nobody.

00:27:16.000 So people go from it's World War III, end of the world.

00:27:21.000 Actually, maybe not, but it's back to regime change.

00:27:24.000 Actually, there was no effect.

00:27:25.000 But think of the children.

00:27:28.000 And suddenly, then we care.

00:27:30.000 We're all humanitarians.

00:27:31.000 I love the black pilled right.

00:27:34.000 All these double standards.

00:27:35.000 It's almost hard for them to carry all these double standards where just two months ago they were saying we shouldn't let dead kids decide our policy for the school shooting.

00:27:46.000 These are the same people that say, We're going to have ethnic cleansing in our country.

00:27:51.000 And you know what?

00:27:52.000 Life is violent.

00:27:53.000 Sometimes violent things have to happen. 1.00

00:27:55.000 And you kill a few Muslims, and suddenly you might as well. 1.00

00:27:59.000 They're like these Muslim tequila liars where they say you kill one innocent person, you've killed all mankind. 1.00

00:28:05.000 You know, suddenly they're the prophets of peace, right? 1.00

00:28:08.000 When it's Drumf doing a military strike.

00:28:10.000 But there were no casualties.

00:28:12.000 And then they go into this convoluted conspiracy theory.

00:28:14.000 When there's no casualties, they go into this convoluted conspiracy theory of.

00:28:19.000 Well, if Trump, okay, maybe it was a symbolic strike.

00:28:22.000 Maybe it didn't kill anyone.

00:28:24.000 Okay, whatever. 0.92

00:28:25.000 But if every time there's a chemical weapons attack, we have to strike, then there's going to be chemical weapons attacks all the time. 0.78

00:28:33.000 And we're going to have to strike all the time. 0.68

00:28:34.000 That's actually complete nonsense because there were chemical weapons attacks throughout this year.

00:28:41.000 From last year's strike until this year's strike, there were chemical weapons employed all the time, consistently. 0.59

00:28:48.000 If you follow the news, Chlorine gas, they use this stuff all the time.

00:28:52.000 The rebels, ISIS, the Assad government.

00:28:55.000 You saw this on a monthly basis.

00:28:57.000 In 2013, the reason that Obama said we would strike Syria was because they used sarin gas.

00:29:04.000 Chlorine is used pretty widely in the Middle East because it's easily accessible.

00:29:08.000 It's an industrial chemical that you use in water purification or water filtration, rather.

00:29:14.000 And so it's readily available.

00:29:15.000 You see this kind of thing employed pretty regularly.

00:29:18.000 Obama said we're going to strike in 2013 because they used sarin gas, which is a neurological chemical weapon, which I guess is much more severe. 0.61

00:29:28.000 And that's why they were going to strike in 2013.

00:29:31.000 It was the same thing in 2017.

00:29:33.000 They said they used sarin gas.

00:29:34.000 This time around, they said, is it chlorine?

00:29:36.000 Is it sarin?

00:29:37.000 We don't really know.

00:29:38.000 Point being, there was chlorine, there were chemical weapons attacks throughout from 2013 up until 2018.

00:29:45.000 And we only struck one other time.

00:29:47.000 So the idea that every time there's a chemical weapons attack, we have to strike.

00:29:52.000 We are in full control of the media, we're in full control of which strikes, or rather, which chemical weapons incidents we respond to and which ones we don't.

00:30:01.000 If people say they invented this example, we could just as easily send inspectors next time and say, oh, it wasn't legitimate.

00:30:07.000 We don't have to strike.

00:30:08.000 So that's a bogus, convoluted thing people are coming up with to cope with the fact that all the other things didn't work out.

00:30:14.000 And then finally, and here is the wild thing people who are very critical of the strike, people who are blackpilling about the strike, finally they reached two conclusions, which was, well, okay, maybe it didn't start World War III.

00:30:27.000 Maybe it didn't escalate into war with Russia.

00:30:29.000 Maybe it wasn't regime change.

00:30:31.000 Maybe it had no effect on the Assad government.

00:30:33.000 Maybe no civilians were killed. 0.71

00:30:35.000 Yeah, okay, maybe we don't have to strike every time they use chemical weapons, but they say, but the black pillars say, it was a waste of money and we violated international law. 0.99

00:30:46.000 And you got to love the reach. 0.94

00:30:48.000 You know, it's like, do your arms hurt?

00:30:50.000 Have you dislocated your shoulders from reaching so far?

00:30:54.000 Suddenly, the people who they have never in their lives said anything about Social Security or Medicare say fiscal matters are boring, they're for normies.

00:31:05.000 We don't care about them, that's for regular Republicans.

00:31:08.000 We care about immigration.

00:31:09.000 Suddenly, all these people care so much about money. 0.99

00:31:12.000 Oh, it was such a waste of money.

00:31:14.000 The strike cost between $70 and $100 million, which is peanuts, folks.

00:31:20.000 Which is peanuts.

00:31:21.000 If the missiles are between $1 and $1.5 million, the strike cost anywhere between $70 and $100 million, which, by the way, is nothing.

00:31:30.000 Is nothing.

00:31:31.000 We appropriated a hundred times, literally a hundred times more money to fight the opioid epidemic in the omnibus bill than we spent on this missile strike.

00:31:41.000 Do you know how much money?

00:31:43.000 Is allocated for the military just this year?

00:31:48.000 $700 billion.

00:31:50.000 And we spent $100 million on the airstrike.

00:31:53.000 So, can anybody do that math really quickly?

00:31:55.000 What's $100 million over $700 billion?

00:31:59.000 I mean, it's peanuts, really, in terms of cost.

00:32:02.000 And then people want to say, well, okay, maybe it was nothing.

00:32:07.000 Maybe it didn't even matter.

00:32:09.000 But it still violated international law.

00:32:12.000 And that matters.

00:32:14.000 I get people in my mentions, okay, Nick.

00:32:17.000 Okay, fine.

00:32:18.000 Fine, Bill Mitchell.

00:32:20.000 Fine, four dimensional theorist.

00:32:22.000 All right.

00:32:23.000 Maybe it was a symbolic strike.

00:32:25.000 Maybe it wasn't backdoor regime change.

00:32:27.000 Maybe it was a one off.

00:32:29.000 Yeah, whatever.

00:32:29.000 Fine.

00:32:31.000 But it violated international law. 0.88

00:32:34.000 And that's important.

00:32:35.000 I get literally these were the comments in my mentions, which is staggering because this is in defense of countries like Russia and Iran and North Korea.

00:32:45.000 Really?

00:32:46.000 We're going to start to talk about violations of international law?

00:32:50.000 Where were these people in 2014 when Putin illegally annexed Crimea?

00:32:55.000 Where were they in 2008 when Putin illegally annexed Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia?

00:33:01.000 Where were these people in the two Caucasus wars and the two Chechen wars in Russia, where Putin committed war crimes? 0.70

00:33:07.000 Where are these people with Iran and North Korea when they don't sign the nonproliferation treaty and they develop chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons against international law? 0.69

00:33:17.000 Where are they? 0.91

00:33:18.000 Where are they?

00:33:19.000 I mean, they say, for example, that Iran is based.

00:33:22.000 They say Iran did nothing wrong.

00:33:23.000 We should be allies with Iran, really?

00:33:25.000 Because Iran sponsors rebel groups all around the world.

00:33:28.000 They sponsor.

00:33:29.000 Militant terrorist groups.

00:33:32.000 Sure, those terror groups don't attack the United States, but we're not talking about the United States.

00:33:36.000 We're talking about international law, which is a big deal, apparently.

00:33:40.000 And when Iran funds Hezbollah, it doesn't matter if Hezbollah is fighting Israel. 0.56

00:33:44.000 That violates international law, and that matters. 0.78

00:33:46.000 So at the end of the day, what we saw with the strike was exactly what I predicted about it.

00:33:52.000 Exactly what I predicted. 0.85

00:33:53.000 And by the way, I predicted the chemical attack, too. 0.99

00:33:55.000 If we want to get into Vindication Nation, if we really want to get deep, Into the bowels of Vindication Nation. 0.94

00:34:02.000 If we're in the downtown, the commercial district here of Vindication Nation, and there's shops, and it's so, Vindication Nation is so developed, so urbanized, the HDI is so high.

00:34:14.000 We just, the downtown area is just completely convoluted.

00:34:17.000 I mean, it's just ridiculous.

00:34:18.000 There's no industry, there's no agriculture, there's just like weird indie places.

00:34:23.000 There's a store that just sells, that just sells like really specific coffee, they just sell a very specific kind of latte.

00:34:32.000 There's music stores so advanced in Vindication Nation, they only make a very specific kind of synth wave instruments.

00:34:41.000 That's how high the HDI is.

00:34:42.000 That's how good the economy is in Vindication Nation.

00:34:46.000 The transportation is great. 1.00

00:34:48.000 You talk about the Hyperloop, we've got it.

00:34:51.000 You talk about personal helicopters, we've got it. 0.99

00:34:55.000 I mean, it's so developed because I predicted the chemical weapons attack in February. 0.79

00:35:00.000 And somebody clipped this on my Twitter timeline, but you could even go back to America First episode 112. 0.87

00:35:07.000 At the 43 minute mark in February, I predicted there would be a chemical weapons attack before summer. 1.00

00:35:13.000 So I was right on that.

00:35:14.000 And I predicted the military strike, which is what I said all week, which was that President Trump is going to do a limited, one off strike.

00:35:22.000 The reason he's doing it with coalition powers is not because he intends on invading, but because this would deter Russia from responding.

00:35:30.000 And the whole point of the strike was not to kill people, it was not to do damage to the Assad regime, it was not seeking regime change, it was to deter.

00:35:39.000 The proliferation or the use of weapons of mass destruction, of which chemical weapons fall under that category.

00:35:46.000 Nuclear weapons also fall under that category.

00:35:49.000 We are meeting with Kim Jong un in May or June to discuss the denuclearization of the continent.

00:35:57.000 And the whole point to arrive at the real conclusion here, the real analysis, well, okay, Nick, why did it happen then?

00:36:06.000 The whole point was to demonstrate that we are willing.

00:36:10.000 To use our arsenal.

00:36:11.000 If people can say, okay, Nick, you've eliminated all the reasons why it's bad, but tell us why it's good.

00:36:17.000 Why was this strike in our interest? 0.85

00:36:20.000 The interest is not in Syria. 0.95

00:36:21.000 We have no business in Syria.

00:36:23.000 We have no business having troops in Syria.

00:36:25.000 We have no business doing airstrikes in Syria.

00:36:28.000 It does not matter the outcome of the civil war to us because the Eastern Mediterranean is not a strategically important region.

00:36:35.000 The Eastern Mediterranean is all the way over here.

00:36:37.000 Nothing goes on there.

00:36:38.000 There's no oil, there's no natural gas.

00:36:40.000 Strategically, it's not important.

00:36:42.000 You don't need to project power there.

00:36:44.000 The area that's important is the Persian Gulf.

00:36:46.000 So, Nick, if Syria doesn't matter, if you are for the Assad government, which I am, Assad is a secular dictator.

00:36:53.000 He's educated in the Western world.

00:36:55.000 I really like Assad. 0.83

00:36:56.000 I think he should win the civil war. 0.92

00:36:58.000 I think he should consolidate control of his country. 1.00

00:37:00.000 I'm for Assad. 0.59

00:37:02.000 But then, Nick, why would you support strikes on Assad? 0.76

00:37:05.000 If it doesn't matter what's going on in Syria, if you don't want to see further entanglement, why do you support strikes?

00:37:10.000 It's not about Syria.

00:37:11.000 It's about the general principle of credibility. 0.88

00:37:15.000 And that's why I'm for a strike anywhere for that matter.

00:37:17.000 The strike could have been in Venezuela, it could have been in Iraq.

00:37:21.000 It could have been anywhere.

00:37:22.000 It could have been in Pakistan.

00:37:24.000 I don't want to strike all those countries, but the point of the matter is that it had nothing to do with Syria.

00:37:29.000 It had to do with Russia.

00:37:30.000 It had to do with North Korea.

00:37:31.000 It had to do with China. 0.69

00:37:33.000 The point of the Syria strike was to demonstrate that we're willing to use force.

00:37:38.000 And this is very important in international affairs.

00:37:40.000 People say, oh, well, Nick, everybody knows we're the strongest country in the world.

00:37:45.000 Everybody knows we have this kind of power.

00:37:47.000 The point of this strike was to say, even if you have a patron country like Russia, Even if you have a patron country like China, even if that country occupies your country, even if that country is protecting your country, they sold you advanced anti air missiles, even if they have a presence on the ground in your country, even if they threatened the United States, we can still strike anywhere, anytime, whenever we choose.

00:38:14.000 And they could say we're going to knock the missiles out of the sky.

00:38:17.000 They can say it's going to lead to World War III, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

00:38:21.000 And that's us moving our pinky.

00:38:24.000 That missile strike, which they say, oh, we knocked a ton of them out of the sky.

00:38:27.000 We can blow up anything we like anywhere, and we're moving our pinky. 0.91

00:38:31.000 That was Tomahawk missiles.

00:38:33.000 We have so much more than that.

00:38:34.000 We have bombers.

00:38:35.000 We have a nuclear arsenal.

00:38:36.000 We have the capabilities you wouldn't believe.

00:38:39.000 And the point of that strike was to say, we have all this, and we're willing to use it.

00:38:44.000 We have the will. 0.89

00:38:46.000 We have the balls. 0.94

00:38:47.000 We have the guts. 0.97

00:38:48.000 We will do it, and we will make Russia back down, and we can make Russia back down, and we can make China back down. 0.51

00:38:55.000 And that was to say to North Korea and to Iran, Better make a deal with us. 0.82

00:39:00.000 You better make a deal, North Korea, because if you don't, look at our arsenal, look at all these cases where we made a threat and we followed up on it. 0.88

00:39:08.000 We're willing to do it. 0.92

00:39:09.000 And we're willing to do it even if China has a problem with it.

00:39:12.000 And when we go to Iran and we say, hey, Iran, we need to renegotiate this nuclear deal. 0.73

00:39:16.000 We don't want to invade you.

00:39:17.000 We're not going to invade you.

00:39:19.000 But we can and will if you don't make a better deal with us.

00:39:22.000 And that's the whole point of doing the strike. 0.80

00:39:24.000 The point of the strike is not to change anything in Syria. 0.63

00:39:27.000 That's why it didn't change anything in Syria.

00:39:30.000 The point of the strike was to say, I'm Donald Trump.

00:39:33.000 I cannot be pushed around.

00:39:35.000 I can and will use our arsenal.

00:39:37.000 And that's the whole point of the strike.

00:39:39.000 And so, for people that say, if you support the strike, you're a neocon.

00:39:42.000 If you support the strike, you're against Assad.

00:39:44.000 If you support the strike, you're for war in Syria. 0.77

00:39:47.000 I'm against war in Syria. 0.72

00:39:48.000 I'm against an occupation of Syria.

00:39:51.000 If those 2,500 troops, or it's 2,000 troops and 5,000 contractors, if they're not out of Syria within the next six months, I'm not going to be happy about it.

00:40:01.000 And I think Trump has really failed on foreign policy, if that's the case.

00:40:05.000 If we see a ground war of Syria, he is severely cucked on one of his core promises.

00:40:11.000 One of the three, one of the big three promises, one of the big three areas that matters to this president and to his base is foreign affairs.

00:40:19.000 He will have completely failed on that if he invades Syria, and I will be against that.

00:40:23.000 I'll be burning my MAGA hat with you.

00:40:26.000 I want Assad to win the war. 0.97

00:40:28.000 I want him to consolidate control of the country. 0.99

00:40:30.000 I want Assad of Syria. 0.96

00:40:31.000 But the point of the strike had nothing to do with what's going on in Syria.

00:40:34.000 The point of the strike was to demonstrate our credibility.

00:40:38.000 Before a very important series of negotiations with Iran, with North Korea, with others.

00:40:43.000 With Russia, they're talking about having a meeting soon to discuss the arms race. 0.63

00:40:48.000 It's important to demonstrate you're willing to use your weapons. 0.66

00:40:51.000 That's called creating leverage.

00:40:53.000 And so that's why I was in favor of the strike.

00:40:56.000 And the aftermath of the strike supports this.

00:41:00.000 France, there was a second wave of outrage where people said, okay, well, very quietly, you know, it's very loud.

00:41:07.000 The night of the strike, people are saying, Nick Fuentes has been awfully quiet.

00:41:11.000 I wonder what Nick Fuentes has to say.

00:41:12.000 He's Bill Mitchell.

00:41:13.000 He's 4D.

00:41:14.000 He's that.

00:41:14.000 He's this.

00:41:15.000 He's co posting all that.

00:41:16.000 Very quiet three days later.

00:41:19.000 Very quiet.

00:41:20.000 Friday, everybody was certain that I was wrong.

00:41:23.000 We were at war.

00:41:25.000 Now we're not so certain.

00:41:26.000 Now we're very quiet.

00:41:27.000 But then there was this article that came out yesterday, last night, where it said that France had convinced the U.S. to stay in Syria long term.

00:41:36.000 And people said, oh, well, we've done it now.

00:41:40.000 There it is.

00:41:40.000 Nick Flant's BTFO might have been a symbolic strike, but France says they've convinced us.

00:41:47.000 And if you read the first sentence in the article, it said the White House confirmed that's not true.

00:41:50.000 We're going to get out as soon as possible.

00:41:53.000 And so that's where we are in Syria.

00:41:54.000 It's important for us to demonstrate that we're willing and able to take out these kinds of regimes.

00:42:01.000 Now, that's not to say that all the rhetoric about Assad is true.

00:42:05.000 I still think the chemical weapons attack might have been a false flag.

00:42:08.000 We don't really know.

00:42:09.000 Russia is now blocking.

00:42:11.000 The independent, what is it, the OPCW or OPCF, the independent watchdog that went to Syria to investigate if the chemical weapons were used.

00:42:19.000 Russia's blocking them.

00:42:21.000 So I don't know.

00:42:22.000 We really don't know.

00:42:23.000 I'm seriously dubious.

00:42:24.000 I think it's very dubious to say that the chemical attack happened, but we don't know one way or the other.

00:42:30.000 I think it's very likely it was a false flag. 0.91

00:42:32.000 I think Assad should control the country.

00:42:34.000 I think the U.S. should stay out, but I support the strike because the strike was not about Syria.

00:42:39.000 Trump warned them for five days.

00:42:41.000 And then he blew up three empty buildings and killed no one.

00:42:44.000 And then Nikki Haley said, We didn't try to kill anyone.

00:42:47.000 We're not trying to do regime change.

00:42:49.000 We're trying to send a message about weapons of mass destruction. 0.79

00:42:51.000 And that was achieved.

00:42:53.000 So that's a serious strike.

00:42:54.000 That's why I'm for it.

00:42:56.000 I think that's most of it.

00:42:58.000 That's the whole lot of it. 0.98

00:43:00.000 I mean, the new development here is Israel, which has now struck. 0.98

00:43:03.000 So they struck in February.

00:43:04.000 They blew up 15 sites in Syria in February.

00:43:08.000 They did two rounds after an Iranian drone entered Israeli airspace from Syria.

00:43:14.000 In February, Israel responded by bombing 15 different sites.

00:43:18.000 One of their jets went down.

00:43:21.000 And last Sunday, we saw an Israeli airstrike on the T 4 airbase, the same base from which the Iranian drone originated in February.

00:43:29.000 And tonight, Israel launched another airstrike.

00:43:32.000 I don't know if there are new details about it, but before I went live, the latest was that Israel attacked the Shariat airbase in Homs, the one that we struck last year.

00:43:41.000 And they launched something like six missiles, all of them were shot down.

00:43:45.000 And so the broader concern here is that Israel is going to drag us into the war because Israel wants regime change.

00:43:50.000 And people say, Nick, why would Trump do a severely restrained attack to appease the neocons, to appease Israel? 0.61

00:43:57.000 Because Israel will try to drag us into the war. 0.59

00:44:00.000 That's what they're trying to do right now. 0.72

00:44:02.000 And they want to drag us into the war because Iran has a significant presence in Syria.

00:44:07.000 Iran is all over Syria.

00:44:09.000 They're building permanent military bases.

00:44:10.000 They've got about a quarter of a million troops that are on the Iranian payroll, either their militia, their Foreign fighters, their IRGC, their Iranian military, but they've got all kinds of people in Syria. 0.84

00:44:22.000 And Israel rightly is concerned that Iran will use Syria as a forward operating base to supply Hezbollah with weapons to attack Israel. 0.91

00:44:32.000 And that's fine, whatever. 0.88

00:44:33.000 But don't involve us.

00:44:34.000 Israel wants to depose Assad.

00:44:37.000 It's a shame.

00:44:37.000 I really like Assad, but don't do it on our dime and don't drag us into the war.

00:44:42.000 I think that's the big problem.

00:44:44.000 Israel wants to destabilize the region so that they can be safe. 0.77

00:44:47.000 And I don't care about Syria. 0.90

00:44:49.000 I really don't. 0.89

00:44:50.000 And I don't care about Israel. 0.96

00:44:52.000 The only reason we have to care is because we pay Israel to do it. 0.92

00:44:56.000 And because Israel, because we have kind of this de facto defense alliance with them, they drag us into these kinds of wars. 0.87

00:45:02.000 And so that's got to be the big problem we have to watch. 0.99

00:45:05.000 So I hope that clears everything up.

00:45:08.000 We're basically at about 10 minutes to go here, so we got to take your questions.

00:45:11.000 But.

00:45:13.000 I know there's a lot of disinformation.

00:45:14.000 People saying Nick is a neocon, Nick is a boomer, Nick is for war, Nick talks like a neocon.

00:45:19.000 Wrong.

00:45:20.000 People who say this, they don't even know what neoconservative means, and proven completely wrong by the strike.

00:45:27.000 So, there it is.

00:45:29.000 And we'll see.

00:45:30.000 We'll see with the super chats, we'll see the stream labs, we'll see are people still doubting me?

00:45:36.000 Do they still think I'm a Zionist shill?

00:45:38.000 At the end of the day, people just simply don't like me, and they're going to say what they're going to say, and that's okay. 0.93

00:45:44.000 They're low IQ.

00:45:45.000 You have to have a certain level of intelligence to understand foreign affairs and to understand my content. 0.57

00:45:50.000 If you don't get it, I'm going to have to block you. 0.94

00:45:52.000 I don't need low IQ people calling me nasty names. 0.96

00:45:55.000 I don't need low IQ people bringing me down. 0.85

00:45:58.000 I've been vindicated that the chemical weapons attack happened.

00:46:00.000 I was vindicated on the kind of strike that there was, and I trust in Trump. 0.65

00:46:05.000 So there you have it.

00:46:07.000 Butt Mountain, my favorite, says, Nick, get sticks on sometime.

00:46:11.000 You know, we'll have to get him on.

00:46:12.000 I really like him.

00:46:14.000 And now that we're figuring out how to get guests on more often, I think I'll have to bring him on.

00:46:20.000 I know he suggested in the live chat once we should have a show, and he said, I should wear a leather jacket with no shirt, and he'll wear a suit, which I like.

00:46:28.000 I think that's funny.

00:46:29.000 But yeah, I got to get him on because I really like his commentary.

00:46:31.000 I thought, you know, he kind of subtweeted me during the strike saying the four dimensional stuff was bull, but I still think he has a great insight, and I'm a fan of his.

00:46:40.000 And I wish him luck in his race for the governorship in Vermont.

00:46:45.000 We have a common cause in fighting against Jared Holt.

00:46:48.000 I noticed that as well.

00:46:49.000 Jared Holt, this little. 0.99

00:46:50.000 This little guy, I follow him because his Jared Holt's this left wing guy who he was really nasty to Sticks over the weekend because Sticks said, I'm running for governor, and Jared Holt was like, I'm a little bitch. 0.98

00:47:05.000 And so, Sticks and Jared Holt were fighting. 0.94

00:47:08.000 And Jared Holt's this little weaselly left wing reporter, he watches the show, he might even be watching right now.

00:47:13.000 He's a super fan.

00:47:14.000 I call him the America First super fan because he's always watching me, he's always commenting on what's happening, he's always the first to report it.

00:47:21.000 At the end of the day, they love Nick, they love to hate Nick.

00:47:24.000 They watch the show.

00:47:25.000 They find it funny.

00:47:27.000 At the end of the day, they may think I'm a Nazi, but they laugh.

00:47:30.000 They laugh and laugh.

00:47:31.000 They think it's hilarious.

00:47:32.000 He's smiling right now if he's watching it.

00:47:34.000 He's the America First Superfan.

00:47:36.000 And he's this little Cretan left wing journalist.

00:47:39.000 He writes for the Soros funded Right Wing Watch.

00:47:42.000 And it's funny because his job is to watch the right wing, to watch me, to watch my show, watch what I tweet.

00:47:49.000 I try and follow him.

00:47:51.000 And every time I follow him, he blocks me and unblocks me.

00:47:53.000 So it unfollows me automatically.

00:47:56.000 What's going on?

00:47:57.000 You get to watch me.

00:47:58.000 You're paid to watch me.

00:47:59.000 I can't even follow you on Twitter.

00:48:02.000 Jared Holt. 0.99

00:48:04.000 And then he's telling me the other day, he tweets out, The alt right is obsessed with my genitals. 0.99

00:48:10.000 What? 0.99

00:48:12.000 What? 1.00

00:48:13.000 The guy's nuts. 1.00

00:48:14.000 Maybe he's flattering himself a little bit. 1.00

00:48:16.000 Nobody's obsessed with your genitals, Jared Holt. 1.00

00:48:18.000 You sicko. 1.00

00:48:20.000 But he is adorable. 0.97

00:48:22.000 He's like this, I don't know how tall he is, but he's this impish little guy.

00:48:25.000 He is the poster child for Soylent.

00:48:28.000 You know, meal drinks.

00:48:29.000 You know, those little drinks where it's like a meal, it's a substitute for a meal, drink soy.

00:48:34.000 He is the poster child for that because he looks like the Gerber baby, you know, and he's 20 something.

00:48:39.000 Anyway. 1.00

00:48:41.000 Anyway.

00:48:42.000 Simon Skola, will Baked Alaska ever recover?

00:48:45.000 He has imploded.

00:48:46.000 I don't think so.

00:48:47.000 I really like Baked Alaska.

00:48:48.000 He's a close friend of mine.

00:48:50.000 And admittedly, I'm not wild about the cast of characters he's hanging around with. 1.00

00:48:55.000 I think a lot of those people are on drugs, and I think they're parasites. 0.99

00:49:00.000 I think they're trying to leech off of him. 0.99

00:49:03.000 And I haven't talked to him personally, so I don't want to get too much into it.

00:49:07.000 But I think he's a good guy.

00:49:08.000 I think his heart's in the right place.

00:49:10.000 He really is a solid person.

00:49:11.000 That's the thing.

00:49:12.000 People can very easily on the internet say, well, I don't like Baked because everybody else doesn't.

00:49:17.000 But if you meet him in person, nicest guy you'll ever want to meet and really a great friend.

00:49:21.000 He's always been a great friend to me.

00:49:23.000 And so I have nothing but nice things to say.

00:49:26.000 I'm not wild about the friends he's hanging out with, but I do think there's some kind of astroturfing going on.

00:49:32.000 I got to be honest because it was like, what, two days ago, suddenly everybody hates Baked Alaska all of a sudden?

00:49:39.000 I have no idea what that's about.

00:49:40.000 Because he yelled at people that were spamming in his super chat or his live chat.

00:49:44.000 I don't know.

00:49:44.000 I haven't been following it too closely, but as far as I'm concerned, Baked Alaska's all right.

00:49:50.000 And I think he's doing just fine.

00:49:53.000 Alvaro Quintana, but that said, I do got to talk to him.

00:49:56.000 I got to talk to him sometime this week and make sure everything's all right. 1.00

00:50:00.000 Because, like I said, these people he surrounded himself with, the Chag guy, the Chaggett, he's been on meth before. 1.00

00:50:07.000 And the Bimbo, the blonde girl, she looks like she's on drugs or has been. 1.00

00:50:12.000 I mean, she's just a mess. 1.00

00:50:13.000 That girl is a mess. 1.00

00:50:15.000 This is archetypal thought. 1.00

00:50:16.000 She needs patrolling. 1.00

00:50:17.000 This is why women, look, political movements, they can't have them. 1.00

00:50:21.000 Sorry, but they insert themselves and they cause all kinds of trouble. 1.00

00:50:25.000 But Baked Alaska, I maintain, is a good guy.

00:50:29.000 Alvaro Quintana, opinions on Lauren Rose and Cassandra Fairbanks.

00:50:33.000 I'm a really big fan of Lauren Rose.

00:50:34.000 I really like her content.

00:50:37.000 I think she's nice.

00:50:38.000 I think she's a good person.

00:50:39.000 She's mommy.

00:50:40.000 She's mommy of the movement.

00:50:41.000 We like her.

00:50:44.000 So I'm a big fan of her.

00:50:45.000 She defended me during Thought Wars, which I appreciated.

00:50:49.000 And Cassandra, I don't know very well.

00:50:50.000 I know her kind of.

00:50:51.000 We've talked a little bit, and she backed me during the debate with Will Chamberlain, so she's all right.

00:50:57.000 She writes for Sputnik and she's for Julian Assange, that kind of thing.

00:51:01.000 I don't really understand it.

00:51:03.000 But generally, I think she's a good person.

00:51:05.000 I don't agree with her politics completely or maybe all of her choices.

00:51:10.000 The alt light is a little bit more socially liberal, let's put it that way, than we are.

00:51:17.000 But I like her, I think she's a good person.

00:51:19.000 Brosif8T7, press F for James, destroyed by Nick in Bloodsport.

00:51:24.000 It's true.

00:51:26.000 That was the bloodiest Bloodsports yet.

00:51:29.000 I was waiting for that one for so long.

00:51:31.000 That was like in Star Wars 3.

00:51:34.000 I was like in Star Wars 3 when Obi-Wan and Anakin are fighting, right?

00:51:39.000 And I was Anakin, except Anakin won that time.

00:51:41.000 It was like if Star Wars 3 ended where the arrogant young guy actually just turned out to defeat everybody and rule the galaxy. 0.95

00:51:49.000 I mean, that's basically what happened with the Bloodsports.

00:51:52.000 It ended up kind of congenially.

00:51:54.000 I don't know.

00:51:55.000 I thought it ended on good terms, but then I just got a pretty nasty email, which I can't get into.

00:51:55.000 I don't know.

00:52:01.000 So I don't know.

00:52:01.000 It seems like all that goodwill has gone straight out the window.

00:52:04.000 For all the people that said, oh, great, they're back together again.

00:52:08.000 It's great.

00:52:08.000 And for all of the words that were said, actions have been very different since then.

00:52:14.000 And I don't know.

00:52:15.000 I don't know, James, what's going on with that because I thought we ended up on a pretty good note, but I don't know how he expects me to move on when. 0.98

00:52:23.000 And I can't get into it, but I don't know how he expects me to move on when he keeps trying to break my balls.

00:52:28.000 But it was good that the Blood Sports victory was delivered. 0.98

00:52:33.000 Vicious, ruthless, savage takedown.

00:52:36.000 I don't know.

00:52:37.000 I mean, he just kept taking hits.

00:52:39.000 I thought it was going to be like rope adulthood.

00:52:41.000 Maybe that was some kind of a strategy because I was George Foreman just clobbering.

00:52:45.000 And I thought, you know, maybe he'd come back.

00:52:47.000 But I didn't get tired, and there was never a knockout.

00:52:50.000 So it was rough.

00:52:53.000 It was rough.

00:52:54.000 But that said, it was a long time in the making.

00:52:57.000 And a lot of lies.

00:52:58.000 A lot of lies have been told since then.

00:53:00.000 But I think I basically put that to bed.

00:53:03.000 Matthew says, many neoconservatives credit philosopher Leo Strauss with providing the theoretical underpinnings for their movement.

00:53:10.000 Okay, well, I don't know if that's totally legitimate.

00:53:13.000 I'm thinking more about international relations, not as opposed to.

00:53:17.000 Because neoconservative is a little bit more complete than just foreign affairs, but there's never been like an IR theorist.

00:53:24.000 It's been really great.

00:53:25.000 I mean, you have pundits, commentators, and people in government, but no intellectuals, really.

00:53:30.000 Simon Skolis says, you are technically correct about just airstrikes in Libya.

00:53:34.000 But that is an oversimplification.

00:53:36.000 Gaddafi was toppled and was beaten and stabbed to death.

00:53:39.000 Yeah, no, I know, but we're talking about American involvement.

00:53:43.000 We're talking about American involvement.

00:53:45.000 So the American involvement, the coalition intervention, was airstrikes.

00:53:49.000 When Gaddafi was toppled and beaten, that was, we pushed it over.

00:53:53.000 But there was already a country that was in the middle of an insurrection.

00:53:57.000 Ian Weber, you should research Cordra now.

00:54:00.000 He was a statesman, a strong Christian.

00:54:02.000 He was endorsed by Evelyn.

00:54:03.000 Unfortunately, he was assassinated.

00:54:05.000 My super chats are off topic.

00:54:07.000 When I can't watch live, I actually have his book.

00:54:09.000 Somebody sent me four of my legionnaires.

00:54:11.000 And I know a little bit about him, but again, I'm more about America.

00:54:17.000 Bryce says, Pearl Wolfowitz Rumsfeld Bolton, in parentheses.

00:54:21.000 Yeah.

00:54:22.000 I love when you're trying to be subtle about something.

00:54:24.000 I'll say something to the effect like the media, and we know who that is, or the Zionists, or the neocons, and people will come into the comments and say, in all parentheses, neocons, as if there was any doubt in anybody's mind.

00:54:39.000 What was being referenced? 0.60

00:54:40.000 People are just so, these low IQ left side, and this isn't you, this isn't you, by the way, but all the time these left side of the bell curve people will come on and they'll be like, in case anybody was wondering, it's Jews. 0.98

00:54:52.000 You know, it's all right, all right, you know, take it easy. 0.99

00:54:55.000 Let's try and be a little bit sophisticated here.

00:54:58.000 You see that all the time on Twitter.

00:54:59.000 We've really been infected by, and that's not you, Bryce, but that's, I see it all the time from others.

00:55:06.000 Ian Weber says, do you think there is even a chance before it's too late?

00:55:10.000 If Trump fails, that we could have a serious nationalist movement with real politicians.

00:55:16.000 The thing is, people have to stop asking and just start doing.

00:55:18.000 You know, people asked, when will other people save me?

00:55:22.000 When will this nationalist movement rise?

00:55:24.000 When will a leader rise up?

00:55:26.000 We have to do this.

00:55:27.000 We have to do that.

00:55:28.000 No, no, no.

00:55:29.000 You have to do that.

00:55:31.000 I just hate, hate, hate the way that people in this movement, you know, we love our race, we take pride in our people, pride in the collective, and yet nobody is individually responsible for doing anything.

00:55:44.000 You know, never mind saving the people, but, you know, people are going to watch and they're going to listen to podcasts and they're going to type up their fasci posts online.

00:55:55.000 And nobody's asking, what can I do?

00:55:58.000 So I don't know.

00:55:59.000 It's up to people like yourself.

00:56:01.000 You know, will there be a nationalist movement?

00:56:03.000 It's up to you.

00:56:04.000 Trump took the leadership, he took the initiative to do it, and he led the movement.

00:56:10.000 And that was one man with tons of resources.

00:56:12.000 And he said, yeah, I'm going to save the country.

00:56:14.000 And that's one guy.

00:56:15.000 Imagine if we had 100 people.

00:56:17.000 That did that.

00:56:18.000 Imagine if we had a thousand, a hundred thousand people that said, you know what?

00:56:21.000 I'm going to take responsibility for the nationalist movement in the country.

00:56:25.000 I'm going to rise up through the ranks in the GOP.

00:56:28.000 I'm going to work on campaigns.

00:56:30.000 I'm going to do what it takes to make this happen.

00:56:32.000 But if people are going to sit around and ask themselves, is it too late?

00:56:36.000 Is it going to happen?

00:56:37.000 Should we do this?

00:56:38.000 Should we do that?

00:56:39.000 It's like Shia LaBeouf.

00:56:40.000 Just do it.

00:56:41.000 You just got to do it.

00:56:42.000 So I hope that helps. 0.99

00:56:44.000 We got to kick our movement in the butt a little bit. 1.00

00:56:46.000 Got to give you a kick in the ass so we can rise up a little bit here. 1.00

00:56:50.000 It's not going to be saved by people talking. 1.00

00:56:53.000 And I know people are going to say, oh, well, Nick, you're talking.

00:56:55.000 Well, my job is to.

00:56:56.000 Spread the message of the revolution and everybody else.

00:56:58.000 We got to get in there.

00:57:00.000 I campaigned.

00:57:01.000 I got up there.

00:57:02.000 I did my part, but we all have to do our part.

00:57:06.000 Ian Weber, Nick, you're wrong about Syria.

00:57:08.000 It was the phone calls and blackpilling tweets that Trump reads.

00:57:12.000 You can't hide in Vindication City forever.

00:57:14.000 Yeah, right?

00:57:15.000 Well, you see, Trump was going to do regime change in Syria.

00:57:19.000 The missiles were dropping, and we were on our way to do it.

00:57:22.000 But then, but then, Donald Trump saw Mike Enoch's tweets.

00:57:27.000 But then Donald Trump saw, oh, wait a second.

00:57:30.000 Wait a second.

00:57:31.000 Mike, Michael Pence, the switchboards are overloaded in the White House.

00:57:37.000 People who shop at Walmart are calling the White House saying we don't want war in Syria.

00:57:42.000 We've lost Mike Enoch.

00:57:43.000 He says he's not going to vote for us.

00:57:45.000 We've lost everyone from TRS.

00:57:48.000 We've lost James.

00:57:49.000 We lost Tucker.

00:57:50.000 We lost Ann Coulter.

00:57:52.000 I don't know.

00:57:52.000 And then he called it off.

00:57:54.000 The missiles were falling and we were going to war in Syria, but then he saw those tweets and it was like, Mike, John Bolton, we've made a terrible mistake.

00:58:02.000 Call it off!

00:58:03.000 The invasion's off.

00:58:04.000 It was just a limited strike.

00:58:05.000 We didn't mean anything by it at all.

00:58:07.000 It was the Black Pill tweets.

00:58:08.000 That's what did it.

00:58:10.000 That's what did it, right?

00:58:12.000 If it weren't for those, really, really, the real heroes, the real, these guys are, they have more valor than the troops.

00:58:19.000 They're holding the line.

00:58:21.000 They are holding back the forces of darkness.

00:58:24.000 They're holding in place the thin line between order and chaos.

00:58:29.000 They're out there.

00:58:29.000 If it weren't for them, they're like Atlas with the universe on their shoulders.

00:58:34.000 If it were not for the Black Pillars, Retweeting old Donald Trump tweets where he says, Stay out of Syria and saying things like, Remember this?

00:58:42.000 I wish he was president.

00:58:45.000 If it weren't for people saying, Trump, I'm so angry.

00:58:49.000 If it weren't for people throwing furniture around their room because they're mad, we would have been neocon a year ago.

00:58:56.000 Trump would have gone full neocon a year ago. 0.56

00:58:58.000 So, really, from the bottom of my heart, we thank the black pillars for there is a thin black line, the thin black line between. 0.63

00:59:07.000 The nationalist uprising and total neocon domination.

00:59:11.000 If it weren't for people like Mike Enoch complaining.

00:59:14.000 And I have to hit him a little bit.

00:59:15.000 He hit me gently on a live stream, and his guy Sven hit me, or who was it?

00:59:22.000 Jesse, or somebody hit me.

00:59:24.000 So it's a mild neg.

00:59:25.000 It's a symbolic neg at Enoch.

00:59:27.000 No bad blood intended, but just a little joke.

00:59:31.000 Just a little joke, everybody.

00:59:33.000 We're just kidding around.

00:59:35.000 Michael Jones says.

00:59:38.000 Interesting that the alt right shills want Trump to cuck for Russia.

00:59:42.000 They blatantly ignore his constant reiteration that invasion isn't part of the strategy.

00:59:47.000 There is a big problem of Russophiles on the right wing.

00:59:51.000 I don't have a problem with Russia.

00:59:53.000 I think we should be friends with Russia, but I have no allegiance to Russia. 0.64

00:59:56.000 I don't want Russia to win. 0.91

00:59:58.000 I don't care about Russia. 0.79

01:00:00.000 I don't care about Syria or Iran.

01:00:02.000 There's a weird element in our movement that hates America, that hates the country.

01:00:07.000 They don't just hate the government, they want to see our country be embarrassed and fail.

01:00:11.000 And I'm not on that train, folks.

01:00:13.000 I'm not on that train.

01:00:15.000 I'm not anti Russia, but I'm also not pro Russia.

01:00:18.000 I'm only pro America. 0.65

01:00:21.000 David Bowman says, in February, Nick predicted a chemical attack in April and May.

01:00:25.000 I did. 0.99

01:00:25.000 It's true. 0.99

01:00:26.000 He could go back and watch the tapes. 0.81

01:00:28.000 Simon Skola, Israel will keep attacking Syria no matter what. 1.00

01:00:31.000 Yeah, probably true. 1.00

01:00:33.000 And let them. 0.61

01:00:34.000 Shaolin Stacker, the Chagat is a really good dude.

01:00:37.000 He works for Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, booking all the guests. 0.66

01:00:41.000 That was horrible.

01:00:42.000 He doxed himself and then he said all the wacky stuff.

01:00:46.000 Very rough.

01:00:47.000 Eric Wright, who would you rather have as a neighbor?

01:00:51.000 A pack of wild? 1.00

01:00:53.000 A pack of wild or in some insufferable douche like that kangaroo atheist person? 1.00

01:00:58.000 No cop outs, big fella. 1.00

01:00:59.000 I don't know what you're.

01:01:00.000 I think you missed a word there.

01:01:02.000 I meant to say didn't do this.

01:01:03.000 Okay, so you mean that's a pretty inappropriate and offensive way to say a non white person?

01:01:10.000 But at the end of the day, it's about free association, people.

01:01:13.000 At the end of the day, it's about free association.

01:01:15.000 We should be able to live with who we want to live with.

01:01:19.000 And dissonant right with some dollary dues.

01:01:21.000 Thank you.

01:01:21.000 We'll move on to our Stream Labs.

01:01:23.000 That was our Super Chats.

01:01:24.000 We'll move on to our Stream Labs.

01:01:26.000 And see what's being said.

01:01:29.000 Oh, we got a lot.

01:01:30.000 Great.

01:01:32.000 Problematic White Knight says, What the heck is going on with these guys, Nick?

01:01:36.000 Aaron getting a co host gig on Worski.

01:01:39.000 You and Medicare need to give thought patrol lessons.

01:01:41.000 This is insane. 1.00

01:01:42.000 I know that Aaron chick. 0.99

01:01:44.000 She's got to go.

01:01:45.000 Aaron has got to go.

01:01:47.000 We don't want her. 1.00

01:01:49.000 And she's such a degenerate. 1.00

01:01:49.000 No. 1.00

01:01:51.000 Good God.

01:01:52.000 I mean, like, really, bottom of the barrel degenerate. 1.00

01:01:54.000 She's getting picked up by Worski and JF and hanging out with Baked.

01:01:59.000 It's no good. 0.98

01:02:01.000 When the thoughts send their people, they're not sending their best. 0.97

01:02:05.000 T2 Studio says, Damn shame what happened to Baked Alaska. 0.99

01:02:09.000 Used to be such a good boy, but the California air and thoughtery made him retarded. 1.00

01:02:13.000 But now that he's burned down all his connections and career, I'm worried about what will happen to his cat. 0.99

01:02:18.000 Hashtag safe sonic.

01:02:20.000 He's the unbaked.

01:02:21.000 He's doing fine. 1.00

01:02:22.000 We like him.

01:02:23.000 He's all right.

01:02:24.000 Reagan says, Nick, I agree.

01:02:25.000 The serious strike is strategic theater, not worth blackpilling over.

01:02:29.000 But wouldn't it be a stronger message?

01:02:31.000 If Trump waited to investigate gas attacks first, Kim Jong's got to know he's negotiating good faith and won't get backstabbed like Gaddafi.

01:02:39.000 No, I don't think so.

01:02:41.000 I don't think that's important.

01:02:42.000 I think, you know, because as you can see, even the independent investigation is getting stonewalled by Russia.

01:02:49.000 I don't think they're going to be let in anytime soon.

01:02:51.000 It's a little bit presumptuous to assume that an investigation would even occur, so I don't think so.

01:02:57.000 That would be some level of cooperation.

01:02:59.000 Spooky Ghost, what tie knot do you use?

01:03:02.000 I use a half Windsor knot.

01:03:05.000 Monix Monis CS says 500 bits for 99 cents.

01:03:11.000 Might as well give it to the most deserving person I know.

01:03:14.000 Aw, thanks, big guy.

01:03:15.000 Appreciate it.

01:03:16.000 Zosmal says, I believe in you, Nick.

01:03:18.000 Never give up.

01:03:19.000 I never will, big fella.

01:03:20.000 Appreciate you.

01:03:22.000 JFK says, The nations of the world can be judged by the friends they keep.

01:03:27.000 Also, USA is friends with Israel and Saudi Arabia.

01:03:31.000 True.

01:03:32.000 True.

01:03:33.000 And Russia is friends with Iran and Syria and North Korea.

01:03:36.000 I mean, you have to make.

01:03:38.000 I don't know if that's really even fair.

01:03:39.000 These are the same people who will say we should ally with terrible dictators in order to achieve our interests or to not bother them, but then they go and say, oh, well, we're allied with Israel.

01:03:50.000 Judge us for that. 0.85

01:03:51.000 I think it's a marriage of convenience, at least with Saudi Arabia. 0.72

01:03:55.000 With Israel, it's a little different. 0.75

01:03:57.000 Never Less Wonder says, exciting weekend indeed. 0.99

01:04:00.000 Did you get those digits?

01:04:01.000 We're rooting for you.

01:04:02.000 Which digits?

01:04:02.000 What are you talking about?

01:04:04.000 I don't know what you mean by that.

01:04:05.000 Classy X giving me some cheers.

01:04:07.000 Appreciate you.

01:04:10.000 Beekeeper.

01:04:11.000 Thanks for being a voice of reason, my man. 0.98

01:04:13.000 Shamelessly parroted you and owned my libertarian friends' dumb predictions on Syria. 0.95

01:04:17.000 Good. 0.95

01:04:18.000 Own the libertarians, own the alt right, own them all.

01:04:21.000 We are paleoconservative, traditionalist, nationalists on this program only, and we're unapologetically pro Trump shills.

01:04:31.000 Richard Dixon, I'm right about everything. 0.88

01:04:33.000 Everyone who criticizes me is low IQ.

01:04:35.000 That's true. 0.84

01:04:35.000 Come on, man. 0.84

01:04:36.000 It's true.

01:04:37.000 Come on, man.

01:04:37.000 Don't give me that.

01:04:38.000 It's true.

01:04:39.000 Facts.

01:04:40.000 I've been right about everything for three years now.

01:04:43.000 Everything, except for Doug Jones.

01:04:45.000 And even in that case, I said, barring a miracle, and it was a miracle.

01:04:49.000 So I've been right about everything for three years. 0.51

01:04:51.000 And everyone who does criticize me is low IQ.

01:04:54.000 Everybody who has a critique, they're all wrong.

01:04:57.000 That's just true.

01:04:58.000 The critiques I'm hearing are, they're not even good arguments.

01:05:00.000 The people who critique me after the strike say, nice cope posting, bud.

01:05:06.000 You're Bill Mitchell.

01:05:08.000 Four dimensional chess.

01:05:10.000 These are not arguments.

01:05:10.000 Neocon Nick.

01:05:12.000 Come to me with an argument. 0.87

01:05:13.000 Be glad to hear it.

01:05:14.000 But it's not arguments.

01:05:15.000 People who say that are low IQ.

01:05:17.000 So it's, no, it's you. 0.92

01:05:18.000 Come on, man.

01:05:18.000 It's you.

01:05:20.000 Richard Dixon, James, TRS.

01:05:22.000 Fanboy also explanation of neoconservatives was embarrassing on that stream.

01:05:26.000 You know, he had to be called on the carpet.

01:05:30.000 Only big brain nibblers can call you on the carpet like that.

01:05:34.000 DL donated 10 and says, You said bombing was a good move to show the U.S. is willing to strike.

01:05:41.000 However, I disagree because of the fact that Syria shot down 70% of the Tomahawk missiles using S 200 developed in 67.

01:05:48.000 Russia currently has the S 400, a far superior weapon to the S 200.

01:05:53.000 Okay, but the point is not.

01:05:55.000 Again, the point is not what happened on the ground.

01:05:57.000 The point is that we are willing to use our capabilities.

01:06:00.000 Again, it's not about the actual strike, which, even though 70% were shot down, we destroyed or hit all of our targets. 0.88

01:06:09.000 So, in spite of the fact that they had air defenses and very sophisticated air defenses at that, we still penetrated them and we still cucked Russia. 0.72

01:06:16.000 So, you're kind of missing the point if you think that it was about the number of missiles that were shot down. 0.91

01:06:22.000 The point was to show North Korea we will go to great lengths. 0.87

01:06:26.000 We will risk a lot to deter the use of weapons of mass destruction. 0.96

01:06:30.000 That was the point. 0.50

01:06:31.000 We have far greater capabilities that could outclass the most advanced air defenses from Syria and Russia.

01:06:39.000 But the point was to say, look, we're willing to do this.

01:06:42.000 And even still, despite those air defenses, we were still able to destroy our targets.

01:06:47.000 Joe the Croat says, Woo, hey, Nick. 0.79

01:06:49.000 Boy, I got my balls busted on the last call in show by the guys for talking about 2A issues. 0.96

01:06:56.000 My bad. 0.97

01:06:57.000 I don't think I bothered you too much, brother.

01:06:58.000 Am I right?

01:06:59.000 You never bother me, Joe.

01:07:00.000 Never, ever.

01:07:01.000 Always great commentary from Joe.

01:07:03.000 I'll try to diversify, brother, that or I'll ignore the torps in Discord.

01:07:07.000 Much love, bro.

01:07:08.000 Much love to you as well.

01:07:09.000 Ignore the torps in the Discord.

01:07:11.000 They're all 15 and 16.

01:07:14.000 Joe the Croat, another, says Great show so far.

01:07:18.000 Say what you want about Jordan Peterson.

01:07:19.000 He's got some silly boomer takes, but he's right on saving the individual self.

01:07:24.000 If we can't save ourselves, we can't debunk. 0.99

01:07:27.000 We will get shit for saying this. 0.98

01:07:29.000 I'm paying for you most days. 0.99

01:07:31.000 Much love, brother.

01:07:32.000 Praying for you most days.

01:07:33.000 Much love, brother.

01:07:34.000 Thank you, big guy.

01:07:35.000 Appreciate it.

01:07:35.000 It's true.

01:07:36.000 Jordan Peterson is right.

01:07:38.000 Individual has got to take action.

01:07:40.000 Only the individual acts.

01:07:41.000 And we can understand that without selling out our race or our nation.

01:07:48.000 So it's a fair point.

01:07:49.000 And let's see, do we get any super chats?

01:07:52.000 Looks like we got one more from Glass Half Empty.

01:07:55.000 You said chlorine is a weapon of mass destruction now.

01:07:58.000 Chemical weapons are a class of weapons of mass destruction.

01:08:01.000 Chlorine is a chemical weapon.

01:08:03.000 This is not difficult stuff, folks.

01:08:06.000 People come at me.

01:08:07.000 This is when I say people are low IQ and they critique me.

01:08:10.000 They come up with these gotcha things and so uneducated.

01:08:14.000 Chlorine's a weapon of mass destruction now?

01:08:16.000 Gotcha, a weapon of mass destruction is biological, nuclear, or chemical.

01:08:22.000 The point of a weapon of mass destruction is it's mass casualty and it's non discriminatory.

01:08:27.000 Meaning that, you know, if you drop a nuclear bomb on a city, you don't choose between militants and non militants.

01:08:33.000 You let out a chemical weapon in a neighborhood or whatever, it doesn't choose between militants and civilians.

01:08:39.000 That's the point mass casualty and doesn't discriminate.

01:08:43.000 Chlorine is a chemical weapon, a chemical weapon is a weapon of mass destruction.

01:08:49.000 Chemical weapons, like nuclear weapons, fall under the same category. 0.63

01:08:52.000 We deter chemical weapons in Syria. 0.76

01:08:54.000 It sends a message about nuclear weapons in North Korea. 0.85

01:08:57.000 It's not difficult.

01:08:58.000 And look, you disagree with the classification.

01:09:00.000 Take it up with the United Nations. 1.00

01:09:02.000 Spoiler alert Ethnic Russians stink of sour cabbage. 0.94

01:09:06.000 Nick, no. 1.00

01:09:07.000 What are you talking about?

01:09:09.000 I did not say this.

01:09:10.000 Are you saying this?

01:09:11.000 Because I don't really know any ethnic Russians. 0.98

01:09:13.000 But it looks like those are all of our Super Chat, Stream Labs, and Twitch.

01:09:17.000 It's unpopular.

01:09:19.000 You know, when people say Nick is a shill and he's appealing to his base, I lost a ton of followers for defending Trump's serious strike.

01:09:26.000 Gained them all back because I'm very good.

01:09:29.000 But it's not like I'm gaining anything by defending Trump all the time. 0.83

01:09:33.000 I just happen to think that Trump does not cuck.

01:09:39.000 I just happen to think that he has our best interests in mind and he's trying. 1.00

01:09:42.000 You either think that he's an idiot and he'll cuck us any chance he gets, he's just trying. 1.00

01:09:47.000 He's just really trying hard. 1.00

01:09:49.000 To screw us over. 1.00

01:09:50.000 He's a liar and he's dumb. 1.00

01:09:52.000 And unless we're constantly pressuring him, he's not going to do the right thing. 1.00

01:09:56.000 People who blackpill believe that.

01:09:57.000 I don't. 1.00

01:09:58.000 I believe he's a good man.

01:10:00.000 I believe in somebody like Trump.

01:10:02.000 I have faith that somebody like Trump exists, that he actually cares.

01:10:06.000 He's a patriot.

01:10:07.000 He wants to do the right thing.

01:10:09.000 And he's trying, but he's going up against a very, very difficult situation, very severe limitations, very powerful forces.

01:10:16.000 And sometimes he'll fail.

01:10:17.000 Sometimes there's setbacks, but he always finds a way.

01:10:20.000 To route them, he always finds some creative solution.

01:10:23.000 So I'm always of that belief.

01:10:25.000 That doesn't mean that I'm an optimist.

01:10:27.000 That doesn't mean I believe in the system or anything like that, or I'll agree with him no matter what.

01:10:32.000 I just think he's a good man trying to do the right thing.

01:10:34.000 And if there's a setback, it's a setback.

01:10:36.000 It's not him maliciously screwing us over, it's that we're fighting Leviathan and there's going to be setbacks.

01:10:43.000 Glass half empty says, just don't be a Trump cheerleader.

01:10:47.000 They own him.

01:10:48.000 There you go.

01:10:48.000 There's another low IQ detractor.

01:10:51.000 Nobody owns Trump. 0.98

01:10:53.000 That is just nonsense.

01:10:54.000 And I am a Trump cheerleader.

01:10:55.000 He's done more.

01:10:56.000 What have you done for the country, right?

01:10:58.000 Anybody who criticizes Trump, I want to say, what have you done for the country?

01:11:02.000 Trump put his fortune, his family, his marriage, his reputation, his legacy, his television show, his properties, everything.

01:11:12.000 He put that all online, on the line, so that he could save the country.

01:11:17.000 He didn't have to do this, but he put all of that on the line to get called evil and a fascist and dragged through the mud in the press. 0.61

01:11:27.000 If he doesn't succeed, he'll go down in history as worse than Hitler. 0.68

01:11:30.000 And he's done all that for you.

01:11:32.000 And these ingrates want to sit there and say, at the drop of a hat, something doesn't go their way.

01:11:38.000 There's a bad headline. 1.00

01:11:39.000 Yeah, screw you. 1.00

01:11:40.000 You're an idiot. 1.00

01:11:41.000 We hate you. 1.00

01:11:42.000 You're owned. 0.98

01:11:42.000 It's just so, I just, it's wrong. 0.98

01:11:45.000 Forget about what's pragmatic for a moment.

01:11:47.000 It's morally wrong.

01:11:50.000 And nobody has come close to doing what he's done.

01:11:53.000 You know, people in the alt right turn their noses up, they turn their chins up at Donald Trump like they're better than him.

01:11:59.000 What have they done for the country?

01:12:01.000 Donald Trump has done more for the nationalist movement in two years than anybody in 100.

01:12:08.000 And maybe that anybody ever will in this country.

01:12:11.000 And nobody appreciates him.

01:12:12.000 He's a great man.

01:12:13.000 And I'm just trying to convince you that you should appreciate him a little bit more.

01:12:18.000 That's all.

01:12:18.000 Not a cheerleader.

01:12:20.000 So please don't give me that black pill nonsense.

01:12:23.000 But that's our analysis.

01:12:25.000 That's our show for the evening.

01:12:27.000 Glass half empty with a response.

01:12:29.000 I'm not saying burn him.

01:12:30.000 Jesus, it's gray, not black and white.

01:12:33.000 It is black and white.

01:12:34.000 Okay, it's gray.

01:12:36.000 It's not black and white.

01:12:37.000 They own him.

01:12:38.000 Okay, so which is it? 0.99

01:12:39.000 It's not black and white, but Jews own Trump. 1.00

01:12:42.000 Yeah, okay. 1.00

01:12:43.000 So there it is.

01:12:44.000 And this is what the black pillars do they move the goalposts all the time. 0.71

01:12:47.000 They move the goalposts every day, all day. 0.88

01:12:51.000 War against Russia, war against Syria, casualties.

01:12:55.000 It costs a lot of money.

01:12:56.000 Violating international law.

01:12:58.000 Always moving goalposts.

01:13:00.000 But we're going to have to leave it at that.
