In this episode of the podcast, we discuss the Iran strikes on Iran and its impact on the Middle East, and whether or not we should have gone to war in the first place. We also talk about why we should impeach a president.
00:01:20.000Look, Dave Smith's not wrong in that we have spent trillions of dollars and 20 years and countless lives, not only ours, but other people's in these foreign wars that have really had no real impact, like in Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:02:08.000I said, but I wouldn't be angry if it, and then when it happened, I said, oh, if I'd have known it could have been this effective, I would have supported it wholesale, right, right off the bat.
00:02:15.000I mean, I was looking for a reason to be wrong at that point because I'm glad that it was successful.
00:02:20.000I'm glad that I was semi-wrong because it's good news for America.
00:02:23.000But I remember thinking of you when this happened because you're on my show and I don't think you made a joke about sodomizing the corpse of John McCain, but it was very irreverent.
00:02:33.000And like, you clearly hate John McCain because you're from Arizona and he was a war hawk.
00:03:07.000Like, Iraq is a Muslim country with a Muslim religion and a Muslim government.
00:03:13.000Iran is a non-Arab country that somehow wound up with an Arab government and an Arab religion.
00:03:21.000And they had to create a whole variant of Islam in order to represent it because otherwise the completely non-Arab people in Iran who essentially are just lorded over by this occupying government would cast off the chains along like it's the complete opposite of Iraq.
00:03:38.000And so when you hear these comparisons, it's just laughable.
00:03:51.000We actually addressed at the point and said, no, no, no, hold on a second.
00:03:53.000The same intelligence agencies that said there were no nuclear weapons, right, or nuclear capabilities in Iraq are the same ones who've been telling us for a very long time that Iran does have these capabilities and they're getting even more powerful.
00:04:06.000So it's like, so if you're using the comparison and you're using the same source, two very, very different reports.
00:04:12.000Do you think that some of this out there is, do you think it's people just get set in their narrative or do you think, I hate to use the term grifting.
00:04:20.000Do you think there's willful ignorance where it's just, you know what?
00:04:22.000I'm going to get the clicks by saying impeach Donald Trump and I'm going to get the clicks by saying World War III.
00:04:26.000Well, I think there's whatever you want to call it, shepherding, botting, whatever.
00:04:32.000I think we have a series of kind of what are essentially neutralization ops where when people say a certain thing, they get a whole lot of engagement from a lot of botting.
00:04:41.000And usually those are things that are going to neutralize them politically going forward as an entity.
00:04:47.000Like you remember in 20, you've been around long enough, you've got to remember like 2015, 16, 17, race IQ became a big thing on YouTube for a minute.
00:04:56.000Yeah, I remember Stephan Molyneux having, what was his name?
00:04:59.000The guy who, you know, the guy I'm talking about, the guy who wrote the book on it, he's kind of an expert.
00:05:07.000And like, it's, and I remember, I think you and I had the same, like, well, there's obviously a component, but to distill it all down to this, like, I don't think you guys are going to like how this turns out.
00:05:18.000Yeah, but it's like once Biden got in there, it was like the script was completely flipped and all those people went away.
00:05:23.000Like you, you can see these kind of neutralization ops like sort of happening, right?
00:05:28.000I don't think you need to get out into conspiracy town because bots don't cost that much.
00:05:32.000And we saw, what was it like a month ago?
00:05:34.000Somebody blew the whistle on China and Russia are spending gajillions on bot activity on social media.
00:05:42.000And if you wanted to neutralize, you know, if you wanted to cause a divide in MAGA and thereby a divide in Trump's base, and if you had any abiding incentive to do so, that would obviously be something that you would consider worth the investment.
00:05:54.000I mean, we learned, speaking of McCarthy, we learned when perestroika happened and the fall of the Berlin Wall that the Soviet Union had been funding communism in the United States to the tune of millions every single year.
00:06:05.000So clearly they saw some kind of benefit from that.
00:06:09.000No, I think, yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
00:06:12.000And it also tells you that it brings us to the Russia hoax kind of scandal there because it shows that Russia, if they have more of a vested interest in fracturing the base of the guy who's going to push it in and break it off, they don't want this guy in charge.
00:06:26.000They were gleeful to have Biden in charge.
00:06:28.000And I guarantee it would be the same thing With Kamala.
00:06:31.000If you're Putin, do you want, who do you think you want to deal with?
00:06:34.000Kamala Harris is going to keep writing a never-ending check that gets funneled and laundered to Ukraine, right?
00:06:39.000And you're like, okay, I can deal with that.
00:06:41.000Or the guy who's going to pull every other lever of trade where he's effectively going to shut off all of our income on our energy.
00:07:22.000Also, hard to believe the broad who predicted boots on the ground in Iran a month ago didn't do a research on whether Macron's wife has a hog, huh?
00:07:33.000And of course, we invited her on to, well, we invited her on along with Dave Smith and along with, I don't remember who else, to Ian Carroll and Darrell Cooper.
00:07:41.000No, instead, Candace just went out and said, I'm gay because I said that Sidney Sweeney's like a nine, not a 10.
00:07:46.000She laughed at a comment that said you should just come out of the closet now.
00:08:19.000Yeah, no, but the issue is like when you go out and you go, yeah, and there are no pictures of her as a child and there's no evidence of her first marriage.
00:08:28.000It's like, here are many, many pictures of her as a child, and here's an actual picture of her wedding day to the man.
00:10:11.000Like, I hate APAC for the same reason that I hate that Qatar is the single largest investor into our educational system to the tune of billions of dollars and no one talks about that.
00:12:05.000The story that you're telling me right now is nothing like the first multi-part series that we were told was rationalization as to why she was a man in the first place.
00:12:16.000We're like, yeah, obviously you're completely, you're free to say these things.
00:12:20.000But let's not act as though everything that is said as far as being presented as a theory is equal because then you have to look at the research and you have to look at the veracity of the claims and they just don't hold up.
00:12:32.000Speaking of which, what do you think is ultimately going to come of the Russia collusion hoax?
00:12:38.000Do you think anyone's going to be hauled out in cuffs?
00:12:40.000Because we've been asking and wanting that for a very long time and, of course, have yet to see any results.
00:12:45.000It doesn't do any favors to people like Brennan who are already under investigation.
00:13:57.000The Epstein list that everyone's spurging about was curated under the Obama White House under Eric Holder, a DOJ head who was so corrupt he resigned in disgrace.
00:14:08.000If you're still spurging about that thing, when you've got Jelene Maxwell naming reportedly over 100 names, it's time to just admit you're anti-Trump.
00:14:18.000It's time to admit you're just looking for any reason to spurg about Trump because you have a more reliable version of the exact same thing.
00:14:45.000Like Trump is not, seriously, he's handled it really, really badly.
00:14:52.000And I think a lot of that is because he, when he gets like passionate about something, you notice he like doesn't want to even want to hear about it.
00:15:35.000Yeah, I think a lot of people who are recent sort of this movement, they don't, for those who don't remember, just before you Google Eric Holder, just think a photo negative of Ned Flanders.
00:15:45.000That's exactly what you're going to turn up.
00:15:53.000Like, that's the person we should be talking to.
00:15:55.000And even if that involves some kind of a deal, I would have to hold my nose so that we can maybe get 50 or 100 high-ranking pedophiles off the street.
00:16:04.000But I think the reason that people were going after this is because we were told there was a list, and we were told that that list was ready to be turned over and that, hey, here's a binder and here's some information.
00:16:14.000It's going to be, I mean, Pam Bondi went out and did the tour on Fox News and basically was like a, you know, she had her own show, it seemed.
00:16:20.000So I think that's why people were saying that.
00:16:22.000And for the administration to come out and now kind of switch it up to, hey, that list is corrupted, that's a very reasonable explanation, but just really hard to take when you've been telling us this whole time that there's a list that you're going to release.
00:17:02.000And then you know that he was on the they can reach for different things.
00:17:06.000Like he was on the flight log for the small Cessna, not the Lolita Express, for one trip over to Florida or some shit like that.
00:17:15.000But it's like, if he was on the list and whatever, it's pretty curious tactics for him to then cooperate with the FBI, be one of the earliest witnesses, ban him from Mar-a-Lago back in 2007, hand over everything and all of those properties over to the FBI in order to get the ball rolling on the investigation.
00:17:32.000Like that's pretty curious tactics if you're incriminated by Jeffrey Epstein.
00:17:36.000Well, there's no world in which he isn't in the Epstein files because he played such a big part in being the first person to cooperate with authorities and report him.
00:17:44.000People are saying right now, well, why wouldn't Biden release all that if he was and but I would say because they all run in the same circles, these people.
00:18:27.000Remember, I was talking about this in like, I want to say 2012, saying, look, the next generation after millennials are going to be one of the more conservative generations.
00:18:37.000And the winning issues are freedom of speech, guns.
00:18:40.000I remember telling this to boomer audiences saying because they're playing these video games, and they're maybe not Second Amendment people, but it's easy to get them into the fold.
00:19:59.000And it is interesting how quickly the Overton window has shifted.
00:20:05.000And it's wild, too, that I think the right's propensity for blackpilling on how little the Overton window has shifted has increased relative to it.
00:21:00.000But I think you and I talk about the Hispanic vote, deeply Catholic, traditional, and they're not playing the Latin X. And now we just saw that shift dramatically.
00:21:10.000The Democrats tried to buy votes, and instead they might have sealed their own coffin with it.
00:21:31.000It's like they can't even make headway.
00:21:33.000I think some of that is because they had so much institutional control on the left for so long, they didn't even have to formulate arguments.
00:22:06.000And I don't know that the left ever recovers from this.
00:22:09.000I mean, the freebies, I don't know if they'll work.
00:22:11.000Also, when we were growing up, right, I remember people saying, this is different, right?
00:22:13.000John Stewart and Cobra, like, this is different from George Bush.
00:22:15.000Like, we remember Noah FX and Rock Against Bush and the swastika.
00:22:18.000Like, we grew up, it was a, when I was in comedy clubs, it was a comedic witch hunt, right?
00:22:22.000How good of a Bush's dumb joke can you make?
00:22:25.000And then I think you have a generation growing up where you have eight years of Obama and institutional, like you said, Democrat control.
00:22:30.000Not only do they see nothing to show for it, but there's also that component of teenage rebellion where, okay, it's not the Bush era anymore.
00:22:38.000Yeah, he's like a bad, Obama was like a bad stripper.
00:22:41.000Like he cock teased the socialist side of the Democratic Party for eight years because it's like, you know, they professed that Obama was just a moderate liberal.
00:23:31.000And it's now Bernie 3.0 with three houses, which by the way, I still like, I don't, by the way, have as many houses and planes as you want.
00:23:39.000But the rationalization that he gave is like, well, one is our main house.
00:24:53.000Well, hopefully you don't lose your channel because I don't think we've been on our channel without seeing a warning in God knows how long.
00:25:00.000We're going to get you over to Rumble, Razorfist.
00:25:08.000He wasn't hanging out with Bill Ayers.
00:25:10.000He was smoking crack with convicted domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
00:25:14.000For people out there, oh, that was my question.
00:25:16.000Do you feel like there's been a referendum on young people even thinking Obama is cool?
00:25:19.000Because I've noticed that a lot of young people go like, yeah, even Rogan, you know, like, yeah, I used to think he was good and that he was cool.
00:25:25.000And now I look back and this is where a lot of that corruption and centralization started.
00:29:30.000I always think uncircumcised penises look like those things that slip out of your hands whenever you grab those novelty items where it's like when there's Balor Shore where it just keeps slipping out.
00:31:31.000But if you actually, they won't be offended.
00:31:33.000If you go, look, as a white guy seeing World Start, you understand why we think that there's a divide in culture and why it's an affront to our sensibilities, right?
00:33:44.000I mean, yeah, I just, I just hate the, I hate the apology.
00:33:48.000An apology is corrosive if it's done at gunpoint.
00:33:52.000Would he do that to somebody in the gym?
00:33:54.000Like if somebody in the gym was really struggling to do something, they wanted to achieve a goal, would he go like, oh, it's okay that you can't do that?
00:33:59.000No, he'd push them, push these people past the apology expectation and being offended all the time.
00:34:07.000And truth be told, like, yeah, he has done a lot of good stuff where he's like, look, it's an influencer.
00:34:10.000You can't get mad at someone for walking in front of your camera.
00:34:12.000You can't go in and say, dress the way you are and get mad that guys are looking at you if you're not being inappropriate.
00:34:17.000Like, he's usually right on those lists.
00:34:19.000He's just not thought of these things.
00:34:20.000There are a lot of people who go through their entire lives not thinking about these things and they all of a sudden get some backlash and like, oh my gosh, I guess I better apologize.
00:34:27.000No, you really, you really, everything is political or cultural in some capacity and you guys need to be aware of it.
00:34:34.000As far as laws, I don't really, look, we need to enforce the laws that are on the books as far as crime.
00:34:38.000Obviously, we need to do away with any and all affirmative action, DEI.
00:34:44.000And if we just get to the point, we don't need to create specific laws for any, we need to create equal laws.
00:34:49.000We need to go back to equal laws and let people, you know, rise and fall on their own merits.
00:34:56.000We've been enabling cultures in this country that take advantage of our system, that some people go decades without paying rent, getting SNAP, or getting EBT, while getting every other government subsidy with contributing nothing in taxes and bitching about the people who provide it.
00:39:06.000And that's also why we, you know, every show basically as a bibliography, we try to make the references very clear and available to you because I always encourage you to go and do more research.
00:39:14.000We don't want this to be the only show you watch, but we know it is for many people.
00:39:18.000And so if you watch this and check the references, you will be more informed than everyone there right now on scene in that roundtable out there.
00:39:24.000Like this is the show that gives you the most tools in one spot.
00:39:27.000That's always what we've tried to do so that you don't leave completely unarmed.
00:39:32.000And I'm curious as to maybe you can send at some point what that package was.
00:39:36.000I'd love to see the bias from that local reporting in Southern California.
00:40:43.000Because so many people had windfalls as far as forgiveness and as far as cash.
00:40:48.000And of course, yet a lot of people here, a huge influx of illegal immigrants, 15 to 20 million, who if they work off the books, they have a bunch of cash to make these payments.
00:40:59.000And so people who've been saving and scraping, it ended up being the same to get a new car as a used car.
00:41:06.000Dealing with foreign nations buying up land affects it to some degree.
00:41:10.000Not a huge degree if you're looking at, you know, I'm imagining like sort of suburban homes, single, what do they call it, single-family housing unit.
00:41:20.000Single family housing unit, shoo, shoo, yeah.
00:41:23.000And then, of course, stop BlackRock Vanguard.
00:41:25.000In other words, these companies that simply buy them up as another line item in their portfolio to turn a class into a permanent generation of renters.
00:41:34.000That is one that you can do, especially when you look at some of these giant corporations who are, A, deemed too big to fail and have interests and sometimes align with foreign nations.
00:41:44.000So you can say, no, no, these homes are actually going to be purchased by people who want to live in these homes.
00:41:58.000Immigration, no longer too big to fail, these companies.
00:42:02.000And if you just take away the too big to fail, that safety net, a lot of people don't realize this, there's some volatility in real estate.
00:42:08.000People think, put your money in real estate, it's a sure thing.
00:42:24.000And then if we see interest rates come down, you'll see more churn in people going to other homes.
00:42:30.000You could also create some incentives as far as building new homes, though we don't really have that same problem as far as ratio of demand to available homes, I believe, as we saw three, four years ago.
00:42:42.000I think the big component here is interest rates, dealing with people who have no business being here, competing, right, in a bidding war with Americans, and, I mean, individuals, illegal immigrants, and these giant corporate, I don't even want to say corporations, sort of international globalist conglomerates who've just said, yeah, we can buy up an entire neighborhood.
00:43:32.000I'm not talking about apartment complexes that have always existed.
00:43:35.000I'm talking about homes and residential areas.
00:43:37.000And it's like, yeah, but we reserve the right.
00:43:38.000If someone comes in and makes a better offer or we buy some new property, we want to be able to move you around.
00:43:44.000And you have no idea how many of these homes exist in your neighborhood.
00:43:49.000And that fundamentally transforms the fabric of the United States.
00:43:53.000And I can say this because I live in a neighborhood, you know, where it's a much older, it's an older neighborhood established, where a lot of the homes, they never go for sale because they're in living trusts because they get passed down.
00:44:09.000But everyone keeps their stuff nice because it's been in the family and it's typically been passed down and people stay there for a long time.
00:44:15.000And I don't know that we have any renters.
00:44:17.000And so you have a good range of affordably priced homes and some pretty significantly much more expensive homes in the same neighborhood.
00:44:26.000And everyone except for one house keeps their stuff nice voluntarily.
00:44:33.000That's what it used to be in this country.
00:44:35.000It was called the United States of America.
00:44:37.000And it's not like we're talking about implementing radical policy.
00:44:40.000We're talking about a return to our roots, conserving what people wanted here in the United States, what the American dream was.
00:44:47.000Now, you also have some young people who blow this out of proportion sometimes, and I get it.
00:44:52.000I think when boomers go, oh, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and there aren't the same opportunities, because you have had some people in the boomer generation who worked at the same company for a long time.
00:45:07.000But young people, if you're also willing to look a little bit further out from the city and at a home that is the same size as that which your parents or certainly your grandparents had and take a vacation only once a year that is very affordable and pack a lunch, you can still do that.
00:45:23.000I will say the drop-off now when you move out of a major city and you go past the suburbs, I would imagine is actually Much more drastic than people take into consideration.
00:45:33.000There are plenty of affordable homes that are available if you want to fix it up or if you're willing to drive an hour, which, by the way, was not uncommon, again, for your grandparents and your parents back in the day.
00:45:45.000But there are some things that can be done and I think should be done.
00:45:48.000I cannot stress enough the impact that illegal immigration has on our economy as a whole.
00:45:56.000Because you are competing effectively with...
00:46:06.000But imagine you're someone coming from a country where they make no money, pretty much.
00:46:12.000There's no lifestyle compared to here in the United States.
00:46:14.000And now you give them what in their mind is a boatload of cash.
00:46:17.000So now you've combined it without the same kind of fiscal responsibility or understanding of how far your dollar goes or how you should invest your dollar.
00:46:26.000You see people buying new cars, buying brand new TVs.
00:46:29.000You see 16 cars in the driveway because a bunch of families live in one house.
00:46:33.000I remember my parents, when I made my first little bit of money, I got them a television for the first time.
00:46:38.000Their television, Reagan was president.
00:46:40.000This is well into the 2000s, the TV they had until I said, you know what, I'm going to get them.
00:46:51.000And we posted their old TV on Craigslist, and it was some Hispanic gentlemen who didn't speak a word of English, came in and picked it up, and they were all on their smartphones.
00:47:02.000And this is the era of iPhone 3, so a lot of people didn't have it, laughing as to how old my parents' TV was.
00:47:10.000I started going like, what happened to these people do jobs for nothing?
00:47:14.000And, you know, the poor immigrants, they were laughing, like, can you believe this?
00:47:17.000And half of my family had flip phones.
00:47:20.000My parents were in a nice house because they saved and they scraped, but they didn't spend it on luxuries.
00:47:24.000You would be amazed as to when you go to lower income households in this country.
00:47:30.000The things you see as far as sneakers, phones, computers, televisions, and usually new cars.
00:47:39.000And you would be equally surprised when you look at people who are wealthy and what they actually drive and what they spend their money on.
00:47:46.000So are there some policies that can be implemented that would be a return to our roots?
00:47:52.000I think a lot of people don't know how the wealthy live and are blissfully unaware of how many people below the poverty line live in this country.
00:47:59.000And then you'll understand where the money is being spent.
