The question that arises in the wake of Memorial Day is: Will the West ever win another war again? Why hasn t the West won a war since the Korean War, and why hasn t it won since the end of World War II? What s the reason? Why can't the West win anymore? And why does the West not seem to be interested in winning any more wars? This episode explores the root cause of this lack of Western success in war, and offers a solution to the problem of why the West has not been able to win a war for so long. It begins with understanding why we don t win anymore, and the three conditions that are necessary to do so, and how to win again. And it's not because we don't want to go to war anymore. It's because we just don't have the money to pay for it anymore, or the political will to do it. In this episode, we explore why we can't seem to win anymore and why it's time to go back to being a part of the community that s long-standing tradition of winning at least once a century. We'll talk about why this is a problem, and what can be done to make sure we re not losing anymore, at least not to repeat the same mistakes we ve made in the future. (1) 2) 3) Why the West is no longer interested in war 4) 5) What is the real reason for not winning anymore 6) Why we have not won wars 7) What are the last few wars we ve not won And so on and what s the real problem we re fighting for and why we should be fighting for? 8) Why do we need to have a better understanding of the nature of war 9) What are we fighting for and what is the best way to win Is there a better way to be a better country? 10) Why are we losing more of a country to win more? 11) What's the point of victory? 12) What do we really need to win? 13) Why is the West fighting for the sake of winning? 14) What s better than a better America? 15) Why does the U.S. need to be more involved in a better future 16) What does it mean to be better than the other countries? 17)

00:00:00.000 Well, folks, there's a big question that arises in the aftermath of Memorial Day, which, of course, is a day when we pay tribute to the Americans who have fallen on behalf of America, on behalf of our defense, on behalf of freedom.
00:00:12.000 And that question is, is America, is the West more generally geared toward winning wars anymore?
00:00:17.000 Will we ever win another war?
00:00:19.000 Because let's be real about this.
00:00:21.000 When it comes to military conflict, The chief goal, in fact the only thing that justifies an evil as great as war, is victory.
00:00:29.000 If you fight a war and you lose, then all of the sacrifices that are made on behalf of that war are treated as disposable and dispensable.
00:00:38.000 If you fight a war and you fight a war not to win, then you have spent blood, you have spent treasure, you have made human beings sacrifice their lives for a thing that has not actually been effectuated.
00:00:50.000 Where is the virtue in that?
00:00:52.000 The first rule of war is win.
00:00:54.000 The first rule of war is win.
00:00:55.000 So, if you're the West, the question is, can we win wars anymore?
00:00:58.000 Because it's been an awful long time since the West actually won a war.
00:01:03.000 You can't really say that the West won the Afghanistan war.
00:01:06.000 We didn't.
00:01:06.000 America didn't win that war.
00:01:08.000 We didn't win the Iraq war.
00:01:09.000 That place is now a sectarian hellhole. 1.00
00:01:12.000 The United States didn't win the Vietnam War, obviously.
00:01:15.000 The United States won Gulf War No.
00:01:17.000 1 in the sense that Kuwait is no longer dominated by Iraq, but obviously that did not end with the deposition of Saddam Hussein.
00:01:22.000 He retained his power, and that led to Gulf War No. 2. 0.85
00:01:25.000 The United States really has not won a war in any serious fashion since the Korean War.
00:01:31.000 We've had little conflicts here and there where we've been able to maintain the peace.
00:01:36.000 The last big war that we quote-unquote won is the Korean War.
00:01:39.000 Even that ended with an armistice.
00:01:40.000 With that said, at least South Korea exists as a thriving independent state in the modern world.
00:01:47.000 But that is fully three generations ago.
00:01:50.000 So why is it the West?
00:01:51.000 Why America?
00:01:52.000 Why don't we win wars anymore?
00:01:54.000 Well, there are three conditions to winning wars.
00:01:57.000 Three preconditions that have to be fulfilled if you want to win a war.
00:02:00.000 One, an actual end goal.
00:02:01.000 What is the goal of the war?
00:02:03.000 What is the goal?
00:02:04.000 And we have not really defined our goals in any war that we have entered other than generalized victory without specifying what exactly that victory looks like and what we seek to achieve in attaining that victory.
00:02:16.000 The sole war that you could say that we sort of won since the Korean War was the Gulf War, the first Gulf War, because the end goal there was push Iraq out of Kuwait. 0.92
00:02:25.000 The problem there, of course, is that there were sort of bifurcated goals because half the government wanted to simply go on and depose Saddam Hussein and end the threat from Saddam Hussein at the time.
00:02:33.000 But you can at least say that that was a victorious war in the sense that its original goal was attained.
00:02:38.000 So an end goal that is realizable.
00:02:39.000 Second, military ability to achieve that end goal.
00:02:42.000 And that means building a military that is capable of actually attaining that goal.
00:02:48.000 It doesn't always work that way.
00:02:49.000 Sometimes, for example, the United States military is stretched too thin.
00:02:53.000 Virtually all Western militaries have spent an extraordinary amount of time and money in the past Post-Cold War era, really, in trying to shrink the size of the military, light footprint militaries.
00:03:05.000 And that means sometimes your military ability is not up to what is necessary in order to achieve the end goal.
00:03:11.000 But the biggest obstacle to winning a war that currently exists for the West is not lack of end goals or even lack of military ability to achieve the end goals.
00:03:21.000 The real failing is the political willingness to take the measures necessary to obtain the end goal.
00:03:28.000 Again, as we've said, there are some military means that a country is unwilling to undertake in favor of victory.
00:03:33.000 So, for example, you're not going to just drop a nuke on a country to get them to decrease oil prices, for example.
00:03:39.000 But the real problem here is that the West is no longer in favor of victory because political leadership and public support for victory in war is totally and utterly lacking.
00:03:48.000 By the way, even in places where the West isn't directly involved, meaning America and Europe aren't directly involved, where we're just funding other people to fight wars, Public support can no longer be maintained, even for the most anodyne political issues.
00:04:03.000 That's a result of the public, first, not understanding why we fight particular wars, and second, not understanding the nature of war itself.
00:04:10.000 That combination is absolutely toxic.
00:04:12.000 When it comes to not understanding why we fight particular wars, that's because we've emptied the rhetorical barrel over and over and over again without actually explaining America's interests in particular conflicts.
00:04:22.000 Politicians cite bumper stickers like democracy or our way of life.
00:04:26.000 We'll get to more on that in just one moment.
00:04:28.000 In America, we are incredibly fortunate to have brave men and women who volunteer to serve in our military.
00:04:32.000 They dedicate their lives to protecting our freedom and ensuring our nation's security.
00:04:36.000 These men and women voluntarily lay their lives on the line for us, but when their service ends, transitioning to civilian life can be rough, especially given the current economic climate.
00:04:44.000 That's why Pure Talk proudly supports America's Warrior Partnership.
00:04:47.000 Since 2014, America's Warrior Partnership has worked with tens of thousands of veterans in its quest to stop veteran suicide and help veterans and their families live the purposeful lives they deserve.

00:05:27.000 That's puretalk.com slash Shapiro.
00:05:29.000 Now, again, the American people want to feel ideologically motivated if they're going to go to war, obviously.
00:05:35.000 But that's... it is necessary, but not sufficient.
00:05:38.000 We have to feel that we're right in a conflict, but there actually have to be a real interest at stake.
00:05:42.000 If there are no real interests at stake, the American people quickly tire of these things.
00:05:46.000 Like, very, very fast.
00:05:48.000 That is why it was so overwhelmingly damaging to American foreign policy when the originally expressed motivation for the Iraq war, which was to end the threat of WMD in Iraq, at least one of the main motivations, when that turned out to be false.
00:06:00.000 It totally undercut Americans' sense of why we are there in the first place.
00:06:04.000 And when we say things like we are fighting for democracy, the problem is that obviously the United States, when we say we're fighting for democracy, it can mean that in a couple of senses.
00:06:12.000 One, we can mean that America's interest as the world's largest and oldest democracy That America's interest is in preserving itself and our interests.
00:06:21.000 But the way that we generally use it is that we're supporting quote-unquote democracies against dictatorships.
00:06:26.000 But the problem is that's inconsistent because we, the United States, uphold a lot of dictatorships.
00:06:30.000 For example, we actually don't want the vote in Saudi Arabia because it turns out the population of Saudi Arabia would likely vote for a terrorist government as the Palestinian population did in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.
00:06:42.000 It's very easy for critics to point out that many of the flaws that we sense in other countries are also present in watered-down form here at home.
00:06:49.000 So when we say democracy, it's democracy against dictatorship.
00:06:51.000 You'll hear critics on both the far right and the far left say, yes, but those things exist in the United States also.
00:06:55.000 Now, very often that's not honest.
00:06:58.000 They're comparing, for example, the gulagging of opponents.
00:07:01.000 To political prosecution of Donald Trump, for example.
00:07:05.000 That's really bad what's happening here at home.
00:07:07.000 That is not the same as somebody being forcibly jailed and gulagged and then dying in mysterious circumstances in Russia.
00:07:13.000 But that is an argument that is brought to bear when you use empty bumper sticker slogans like democracy or our way of life without filling in the gaps.
00:07:20.000 When it comes to our way of life, that's too vague.
00:07:23.000 America is uniquely placed in the world, which means that very typically, overall threat to our way of life is pretty distant.
00:07:30.000 As people pointed out, even in the aftermath of 9-11, our way of life in any real sense was not threatened.
00:07:36.000 Nobody was worried that America was going to become a sharia law dictatorship. 0.99
00:07:39.000 Nobody was truly worried that the United States was going to start mandating that everyone go to mosque.
00:07:45.000 American lives were threatened.
00:07:46.000 American interests were threatened.
00:07:47.000 But America's quote-unquote way of life was not truly threatened in that way.
00:07:51.000 Which means that if you wish to uphold public support for a war, then real American interests must be defended and explained.
00:07:59.000 Yes, you have to have an ideological interest in any sort of conflict.
00:08:02.000 But those interests can't be purely ideological.
00:08:05.000 They are, in fact, material and practical.
00:08:07.000 They involve things that require explanation, like supply chains, freedom of the seas, spheres of influence, resource allocation.
00:08:14.000 These things are complex, and they require people to explain them to the American public.
00:08:19.000 They involve free markets and powerful allies to protect those free markets.
00:08:23.000 There's a really good book out by Dale Copeland of Princeton titled, A World Made Safe for Commerce, in which he makes the case that American foreign policy, while we constantly talk about values this and values that, that really American foreign policy has always been geared toward ensuring our economic and financial interests abroad.
00:08:37.000 He says that's true for every single state.
00:08:39.000 Countries have, quote, a natural predisposition to expand the size of their economic power spheres and to protect their trade routes with naval power.
00:08:47.000 All of which is true.
00:08:48.000 And all that can be explained.
00:08:49.000 And the reality is that in America, that is very powerful, particularly when it comes to freedom of the seas, freedom of trade and all that makes the world a better place.
00:08:57.000 But in order to defend American interests in a muscular world, we actually have to defend America's place in the world.
00:09:03.000 And that means that we have to understand that America is an awesome place that ought to be defended.
00:09:08.000 We used to understand on a general level that America's place in the world was not only morally defensible, it was good, particularly in the context of the Cold War binary between the Soviet Union, which was in fact a truly evil empire, and the United States and its allies. 0.89
00:09:21.000 That was an easy case to make in the post-Cold War era that has been radically undermined by several generations now of indoctrination from a Marxist-laden educational system to believe that America is actually a nefarious force in the world.
00:09:34.000 So if, again, there are a couple of factors that are necessary in order to maintain public support for a victorious war, one would be understanding why we fight a particular war.
00:09:44.000 Then we're missing the elements of why we fight a particular war.
00:09:47.000 One, no explanation as to why we do it.
00:09:48.000 And two, a belief that America is actually fundamentally good and that our interests are worth preserving.
00:09:52.000 And then there's the second question, which is not understanding war itself.
00:09:56.000 We in the United States, we are the luckiest people in history.
00:09:59.000 Virtually none of us have served in the military of the United States.
00:10:03.000 The percentage of Americans who currently serve in the military in the United States is vanishingly small, which means the vast majority of Americans don't know people currently serving in the American military.
00:10:12.000 And even the vast majority of people in the military have not fought in a major combat operation.
00:10:18.000 Only about 15% of people who are actually members of the military have been in active combat.
00:10:23.000 All of which means that for the American public, our vision of war is typically like World War II movies or video games in which there are no costs.
00:10:31.000 Plus, for Americans, because we're so powerful, because we are so overwhelmingly hegemonic, there's very little cost to Americans in losing wars.
00:10:40.000 That's also true on a personal level, because it turns out that if your friends or family members are serving in the line of duty, if it turns out that you have friends or family members who've been killed in a war, Most people are very much invested in winning that war then.
00:10:54.000 But most Americans haven't sunk costs into a war other than money.
00:10:58.000 So it's much easier to say, get out of a war.
00:10:59.000 It's also easier to say, by the way, get into a war when no one you know has actually spilled blood on behalf of that war.
00:11:06.000 You add to that our legacy media, which are hell bent on that left-wing perspective that our enemies are justified.
00:11:12.000 And then they add to that broadcasting the nature of war.
00:11:15.000 And now we're geared to lose wars, truly geared to lose wars.
00:11:18.000 So if you look at how media in the West cover wars, they always start off as justified quest for democracy.
00:11:25.000 And then within months, within months, the entire media have swiveled, and now they start talking about Vietnam like quagmires, in which the truly morally righteous are the anti-war left, who are seeking to pull the West out of the death spiral of war.
00:11:38.000 Right?
00:11:38.000 This is within months.
00:11:40.000 So basically they keep replaying the Vietnam narrative, but instead of stretching it out over like 12 years, they stretch it out over maybe 12 months.
00:11:47.000 So, when Ukraine defends itself, that is democracy defending itself.
00:11:50.000 And then, within months, this is a quagmire, the West needs an exit plan, how do we get out of this?
00:11:55.000 And then, the media start pumping out images of war, which are always hideous, because war is truly hideous.
00:12:00.000 Again, this is why the first priority in war is winning.
00:12:03.000 Because literally nothing else on Earth could justify the evil of war.
00:12:08.000 So the media start doing is then they start pumping out images of war.
00:12:11.000 And it turns out that wars are always ugly.
00:12:14.000 And then the public support collapses because we don't like ugly pictures on our TV.
00:12:18.000 So the result of that for America and for the West more generally is bloody little wars that stay under the radar.
00:12:24.000 Right?
00:12:25.000 Those ones are the easy ones.
00:12:26.000 Like small, bloody, ugly little wars that stay under the radar or are done like Barack Obama did from 30,000 feet with drones.
00:12:35.000 You can fight those sorts of wars because they're anodyne and they don't require justification and we don't even know about them.
00:12:40.000 And then suddenly they explode onto the radar, at which point the media go into there.
00:12:44.000 Oh my God, it's a quagmire.
00:12:46.000 Why are we even there?
00:12:47.000 Here's an ugly picture on your TV.
00:12:48.000 And at that point, the West cuts and runs, leaving billions in equipment to our enemies.
00:12:52.000 There's great irony to the fact that the United States did not surrender to the Taliban when the Taliban was actually at its most powerful.
00:12:58.000 And when they were doing the most damage to American troops.
00:13:01.000 The United States surrendered to the Taliban when we were losing zero soldiers a year.
00:13:06.000 It's just that it exploded on our TV.
00:13:09.000 And suddenly it was like, okay, well, why are we still there?
00:13:12.000 Or Joe Biden makes a decision.
00:13:13.000 Why are we still there?
00:13:13.000 Do we have interest there?
00:13:14.000 Why are we there?
00:13:17.000 Which leaves a couple of options.
00:13:18.000 Again, small wars that stay kind of under the radar with American troops in far-flung places at bases that we fund.
00:13:26.000 And then something ugly happens when we run.
00:13:27.000 Or we attempt to conciliate to evil so as to forestall war entirely.
00:13:32.000 Which means that right now America is not in position to win another war.
00:13:36.000 The best that we can hope for is status quo.
00:13:38.000 That is a dangerous thing.
00:13:40.000 And that's not because of the members of our military.
00:13:43.000 The members of our military are amazing and heroic and they kick ass at their jobs.
00:13:46.000 They are the finest fighting force in the history of humanity.
00:13:49.000 You literally would not pick another fighting force in the history of humanity and put them up against the members of the U.S.
00:13:55.000 military with the technology and with the support that they have.
00:13:59.000 Which means that we're not losing wars because of those guys.
00:14:01.000 We are losing wars because of our politicians, and because of a media that hates the country, and because of our educational system, which also is training people to hate the country, and in the end, because we, the American public, don't have the stomach for this stuff.
00:14:15.000 We don't like the idea of losing wars, but apparently we like the idea of winning ugly wars even less.
00:14:23.000 But this actually has even further problems because our inability to win a war at home is symptomatic of something even more serious at home.
00:14:30.000 If we can't win a war, that says something about what we think of ourselves.
00:14:36.000 We are unable to justify ourselves at home.
00:14:39.000 The real reason America can't win a war is because America, in its bones, does not think that we should win a war.
00:14:45.000 Because to win a war would mean that we're imperialistic.
00:14:47.000 It would mean that we're dominating.
00:14:49.000 It would mean that we are spreading our values elsewhere, which is bad.
00:14:54.000 And here's the problem.
00:14:55.000 Once you, as a country, make the decision that your values are so bad it cannot justify winning a war, then the brain worms come home. 0.72
00:15:02.000 Because the brain worms are already there. 0.85
00:15:03.000 Then it starts eating you. 0.97
00:15:06.000 Once you start believing that you as a country are so corrupt, you are so vile, that you are a negative force on the world stage, it is a really short road.
00:15:12.000 In fact, it's not even a road, it just exists.
00:15:15.000 The feeling inside the United States that the United States itself is the problem.
00:15:19.000 We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
00:15:21.000 First, June 6th marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy, more commonly known as D-Day.
00:15:26.000 Our good friends at Black Rifle Coffee are doing something special to commemorate the incredible men who stormed those beaches by land, air, and sea 80 years ago.
00:15:34.000 Evan Hafer and his team will make a series of parachute jumps into Normandy from June 4th to June 6th, fully decked out in World War II-era uniforms.
00:15:41.000 As time marches on, the Black Rifle Coffee crew is making sure they do their part to
00:15:44.000 honor the last of the greatest generation who fought at D-Day while they're still with
00:15:47.000 us.
00:15:48.000 Black Rifle Coffee, it's a veteran-founded, veteran-run company.
00:15:51.000 It's proudly providing coffee and culture to people who love the country.
00:15:54.000 A portion of every purchase made at BlackRifleCoffee.com supports veteran and first responder causes.

00:16:15.000 I bring up all of this because you can see this happening in real time.
00:16:20.000 The fight inside the Democratic Party between the far left and the sort of moderate liberals continues apace.
00:16:26.000 And that is a fight that has been characterizing the Democratic Party really since the era of Barack Obama when Barack Obama was feeding the alligator.
00:16:33.000 Pretending that he was actually the alligator while he was actually a member of the elite coterie at the top echelon of the Democratic Party.
00:16:39.000 That battle has been going on.
00:16:40.000 Yet the boomer Democrats who basically believe that they can channel the revolutionary rage of a younger generation they have bred to hate the country into gradualistic change to America's systems where they still get to hold the reins of power. 0.59
00:16:52.000 That's what they believe.
00:16:53.000 It's a battle between them and the revolutionaries who sit beneath them.
00:16:58.000 But one thing that you never hear is a defense, a muscular defense, of what America is, its role abroad, and what our real interests are and why those are good.
00:17:06.000 You never hear that.
00:17:08.000 Instead, even when members of the Biden administration are paying homage on Memorial Day, it becomes much more about the suffering of the soldiers than about what they died to protect.
00:17:22.000 And that seems to me a fundamental betrayal of what Memorial Day is.
00:17:25.000 Because if the soldiers who spent their lives at Normandy had died in service of a bad cause or a useless cause, that is a disservice to them.
00:17:37.000 And yet that seems to be sort of the take.
00:17:40.000 So yesterday, Joe Biden was speaking on Memorial Day, and he brought up his son Beau.
00:17:47.000 Now, his son Beau served in the military.
00:17:49.000 His son Beau served in Iraq, actually.
00:17:51.000 Instead of talking about the cause for which he served, Joe Biden talked about his suffering.
00:17:58.000 Now again, Memorial Day, we're paying homage to people who fell.
00:18:01.000 But the reality is that any eulogy of somebody who sacrificed their life for something, it's the sacrifice that matters.
00:18:10.000 What makes Memorial Day such an astonishing event, such an incredible This week marks nine years since I lost my son, Beau.
00:18:19.000 Our losses are not the same.
00:18:20.000 These are people who chose in the post draft era to go into the military and sacrifice
00:18:25.000 their lives for something higher.
00:18:28.000 But that's not the approach that Joe Biden really kind of takes here.
00:18:34.000 This week marks nine years since I lost my son, Bo.
00:18:38.000 Our losses are not the same.
00:18:40.000 He didn't perish in the battlefield.
00:18:42.000 He was a cancer victim from a consequence of being in the army in Iraq for a year next
00:18:48.000 burn pit.
00:18:50.000 Major of the U.S.
00:18:51.000 Army National Guard, living and working like too many besides that toxic burn pit.
00:18:58.000 And as it is for so many of you, the pain of his loss is with me every day as it is with you.
00:19:05.000 Still sharp, still clear.
00:19:08.000 But so is the pride I feel in this service, as if I can still hear him saying, it's my duty, dad.
00:19:15.000 It's my duty.
00:19:18.000 And a huge percentage of the speech, he did play, he did do the sort of platitudinous stuff that he likes to do about democracy and freedom that no one takes seriously from Joe Biden.
00:19:26.000 But a huge percentage of the speech was about him attempting to put himself in sort of the coterie of people who have lost people in battle.
00:19:36.000 It helps explain, you know, this sort of hesitancy to explain why America is a muscular force for the good.
00:19:42.000 Helps explain why the Democratic Party is utterly unable to dissociate from its most radical base.
00:19:49.000 And that radical base really does not like the country very much.
00:19:53.000 They also don't know much about the country.
00:19:54.000 So yesterday, both Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush were members of the anti-American Hamas squad in Congress.
00:20:00.000 Both of them had to delete Memorial Day tweets.
00:20:03.000 Why?
00:20:03.000 Because they literally did not understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
00:20:08.000 So, Representative Ilhan Omar, she tweeted out, On Memorial Day, we honor the heroic men and women who
00:20:13.000 served our country.
00:20:14.000 We owe them more than our gratitude.
00:20:15.000 They have more than earned access to quality mental health services,
00:20:17.000 job opportunities, housing assistance, and the benefits they were promised.
00:20:20.000 And then you had something similar from Cori Bush, the BLM Congresswoman from St. 0.99
00:20:24.000 Louis, Missouri.
00:20:25.000 They both had to delete these because they literally don't understand what Memorial Day is.
00:20:30.000 And there's a reason for that.
00:20:31.000 And that is because these people truly do not believe that America is a good force in the world, that the West is a good force in the world.
00:20:38.000 They believe that America is inherently corrupt. 0.62
00:20:39.000 Cori Bush believes America is a white supremacist system built on the backs of black people that is consistently keeping minorities under the boot heel of an evil We'll get to more on this in just one moment. 1.00
00:20:50.000 First, you owe back taxes or still have unfiled returns. 0.80
00:20:52.000 Omar believes that, except even worse, she believes it internationally.
00:20:56.000 And yet the Democratic Party cannot dissociate from these people.
00:20:59.000 Again, symptomatic of an America that can't win wars is an America that can't even defend itself
00:21:05.000 to its own people at home, which is why you have representatives
00:21:07.000 like Rashida Tlaib still in Congress.
00:21:10.000 We'll get some more on this in just one moment.
00:21:11.000 First, you owe back taxes or still have unfiled returns.
00:21:13.000 Not only is owing back taxes really, really stressful, but the IRS is coming.
00:21:18.000 The IRS's chief data and analytics officer revealed they're focused on a new enforcement project
00:21:23.000 with an average return on investment of about six bucks for every $1 they spend.
00:21:26.000 They're targeting individuals and businesses that currently owe back taxes or haven't filed those returns first.
00:21:31.000 Tax Network USA, the nation's leading tax relief firm, knows the tax code.
00:21:35.000 They're going to fight for you.

00:22:12.000 Rashida Tlaib over the weekend spoke at a Detroit conference that was tied to a terror group, the People's Conference for Palestine.
00:22:20.000 And here she was ripping on Joe Biden as an enabler.
00:22:23.000 Again, this kind of weird dance that is being done between the elites and the Democratic Party and the revolutionary base.
00:22:28.000 It's ugly and it is demonstrative of exactly what this party has become, which is a party that is warm toward anti-Americanism and is incapable of winning wars.
00:22:39.000 It should be noted here that literally the logo for the People's Conference for Palestine shows the entire land of Israel green.
00:22:46.000 So for those who are claiming that this is just about an independent Palestinian state, it is literally about the complete destruction of the state of Israel.
00:22:52.000 Here's Rashida Tlaib.
00:22:54.000 Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court and interfering in the legal process is nothing more, nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials from being held accountable for those crimes against humanity.
00:23:11.000 You are an enabler, President Biden.
00:23:15.000 This particular conference happened to be linked with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, like an actual Marxist terror group.
00:23:23.000 And she's speaking there.
00:23:25.000 Also, the conference was funded by a multi-millionaire Marxist named Neville Roy Singham, who was born and became wealthy in America, according to the Free Press, but now lives in Shanghai, where he funds a number of propaganda sites boosting the Chinese Communist Party.
00:23:38.000 These are the kinds of people who literally sit in the Congress of the United States.
00:23:45.000 That's who Rashida Tlaib is. 0.87
00:23:47.000 Meanwhile, over the weekend, we also saw a person now named Fatima Mohammed in New York calling for the increase, the escalation of the intifada inside the United States.
00:23:58.000 And if you don't fight the wars out there, it's not that it's just that people come and fight the wars interior to the United States.
00:24:03.000 It's a country that is unable to justify itself to itself, is likely to allow the brain worms to eat it.
00:24:08.000 Here's Fatima Mohammed.
00:24:10.000 She's most famous for having given a commencement address at CUNY in which she went full anti-semitic. 0.55
00:24:15.000 Here she was yesterday on behalf of Within Our Lifetime at Palestine, which is her group.
00:24:21.000 That is a group that calls, again, for the entire extirpation of the state of Israel.
00:24:27.000 And also suggests, quote, we have a responsibility as those living within the United States to resist the violence of the U.S.
00:24:33.000 empire at home and abroad.
00:24:34.000 As internationalists, we believe that all people have the right to self-determination.
00:24:37.000 We stand in solidarity with all national liberation struggles across the globe resisting U.S.
00:24:41.000 imperialism.
00:24:42.000 In other words, she hates the country.
00:24:44.000 This is all happening inside the United States.
00:24:47.000 What will it take?
00:24:51.000 What will it take?
00:24:52.000 For you to escalate?
00:24:53.000 For you to escalate?
00:24:55.000 For you to sacrifice, for you to give it your all, we have failed Gaza. 0.99
00:25:02.000 We have failed Gaza! 1.00
00:25:03.000 It's time to escalate!
00:25:05.000 It's time to escalate.
00:25:12.000 It's time to be angry.
00:25:17.000 It's time to be angry.
00:25:18.000 What do you think she means by escalate?
00:25:22.000 And now if you just think, OK, fine, that's the radical wing of the Democratic Party.
00:25:25.000 Let me bring you the most stunning news of the weekend that everybody is ignoring.
00:25:29.000 It's an exclusive from The Wall Street Journal.
00:25:31.000 The Biden administration is pressing European allies to back off plans to rebuke Iran for advances in its nuclear program.
00:25:38.000 Even as it expands its stockpile of near-weapons-grade fissile material to a record level, according to diplomats involved in discussions.
00:25:45.000 The U.S.
00:25:45.000 is currently arguing against an effort by Britain and France to censure Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency's Member State Board in early June, according to diplomats.
00:25:54.000 The U.S.
00:25:54.000 has pressed a number of other countries to abstain in a censure vote, saying that is what Washington will do.
00:26:00.000 The differences are emerging as Western officials' concerns have deepened about Iran's nuclear activities.
00:26:05.000 Some U.S.
00:26:06.000 officials say they fear Iran could be more volatile as the country moves toward election for a new leader after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash earlier this month.
00:26:14.000 The Biden administration has long said it is seeking a diplomatic solution on Iran's nuclear program.
00:26:18.000 European diplomats have warned that failure to take action would undermine the authority of the IAEA, which polices non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
00:26:25.000 They say it also weakens the credibility of Western pressure on Iran.
00:26:28.000 And they are frustrated over what they see as U.S.
00:26:30.000 efforts to undermine their approach.
00:26:31.000 So in other words, this administration is so pro-Iran They're attempting to shield Iran from the wrath of the French. 0.62
00:26:39.000 That is how far this administration has gone.
00:26:41.000 And again, that springs from a deep and abiding philosophy that America is, in fact, an imperialistic colonial force in the world.
00:26:48.000 You wonder why we can't win wars?
00:26:49.000 You can't win wars when you believe you're the baddie.
00:26:52.000 You can't win wars when you believe that.
00:26:53.000 And the Democratic Party has fallen into this Moral morass over the course of my lifetime.
00:27:00.000 In the aftermath of the Cold War, there was a widespread belief, both Democrat and Republican, that America was a good force in the world.
00:27:06.000 And it took about a decade for that to fall away.
00:27:07.000 And it really took two decades for it to fully materialize.
00:27:11.000 And Barack Obama was the apotheosis of this approach.
00:27:14.000 All the way back in 2008, suggesting that America was air raiding villages and bombing civilians.
00:27:19.000 In 2008 in Afghanistan.
00:27:20.000 And so now the United States in conflicts all over the world is extraordinarily hesitant to even lend the patina of support to allies that are fighting against American enemies.
00:27:32.000 We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:27:33.000 First, investing in your future, that's not something to put off.

00:28:37.000 More info in the description of the podcast.
00:28:39.000 So, for example, in Ukraine, Joe Biden has been slow-walking aid to Ukraine the entire time.
00:28:43.000 While Ukraine is undergoing missile attacks from Russian territory, the United States has placed a ban on Ukrainian ability to use weaponry in order to target Russian missile sites in Russia in retaliation.
00:28:55.000 That is not a recipe for victory or even for stalemate.
00:28:57.000 That is a recipe for Russian victory. 0.97
00:28:59.000 When it comes to the Gaza Strip, the Biden administration has been far worse.
00:29:03.000 At least Joe Biden He gives the platitudinous homages to the Ukrainians.
00:29:09.000 He sends his Secretary of State over to play Rockin' in the Free World in Kiev.
00:29:14.000 But when it comes to Israel attempting to extirpate an honest-to-God full-scale genocidal terror group, the United States, while providing aid to Israel in a military sense, is also providing aid to the other side.
00:29:27.000 It's a complete fail of a policy.
00:29:29.000 So for example, remember that time that the Biden administration decided it'd be an amazing idea to spend 320 million of your American dollars to build a floating pier in the Mediterranean to bring in aid to Gaza?
00:29:41.000 And then it turns out that all the aid was being stolen.
00:29:43.000 Literally none of it reached the Gazans.
00:29:46.000 None of it reached the civilians in Gaza because Hamas stole all of it. 0.86
00:29:48.000 Well, now it turns out that the Biden pier is sinking.
00:29:52.000 It's literally sinking.
00:29:53.000 So I'm glad that we had this photo op of a pier that is now going to be underwater.
00:29:59.000 The floating pier, pieces of it were breaking off and washing up north of the Gaza Strip in Ashdod.
00:30:05.000 Here's some video of that.
00:30:06.000 The second day that the U.S.
00:30:09.000 landing craft is now stuck on Ashdod Beach, they've finally been able to get a rope out to the Matamoros.
00:30:18.000 And they've got these two smaller vessels here. 0.98
00:30:22.000 So this dumb idea of bringing American soldiers directly in the line of fire from Hamas has resulted in pieces of this stupid pier washing up on beaches miles north of where the pier is supposed to be. 0.99
00:30:33.000 Just well done, Biden administration. 1.00
00:30:35.000 And again, their foreign policy is underwater.
00:30:38.000 It's a disaster area.
00:30:40.000 In a second, we'll get to another party. 0.92
00:30:42.000 That, um, has brain worms. 0.99
00:30:44.000 Alrighty, folks, today is Tuesday.
00:30:45.000 That means a brand new episode of Judged by Matt Walsh is live streaming exclusively over at DailyWirePlus.
00:30:50.000 Witness a lease agreement to tear two sisters apart.
00:30:52.000 Ugh, the tragedy.
00:30:53.000 And what happens when a magician breaks the sacred magician code of conduct?
00:30:57.000 If anyone can see past the smoke and mirrors and fix a family feud, it's the most honorable judge in the highest court of the land.
00:31:02.000 Kind of.
00:31:03.000 So, my fellow truth seekers, head on over to DailyWirePlus, stream the new episode of Judged by Matt Walsh.
00:31:07.000 It's where justice meets entertainment and logic prevails over illusion.
00:31:11.000 Meanwhile, there is a thing that is going on with America's major political parties, which is basically they've atrophied into bizarre versions of themselves.
00:31:19.000 I would say that right now, the robustness of all parties seems to be at all-time lows.
00:31:24.000 I mean, really serious, significant problems inside virtually every American political party.
00:31:30.000 Actually, the problems inside the Republican Party are the least of the concerns.
00:31:33.000 There seems to be at least some unity around President Trump.
00:31:36.000 There seems to be some unity around an agenda inside the Republican Party, even if it is a milder agenda than one that I would like.
00:31:42.000 The Democratic Party, meanwhile, is torn in half by the radicals and the incompetent liberals at the very top of the heap.
00:31:49.000 And then there's the Libertarian Party.
00:31:50.000 Never in human history, I have to say, has a third-party opportunity been blown as strongly as the Libertarian Party is currently blowing its third party opportunity.
00:31:59.000 You have two wildly unpopular lead candidates for the two major parties. 0.97
00:32:04.000 And the Libertarian Party is just a clown show. 0.99
00:32:06.000 It is just every four years, it is an absolute ridiculous clown show. 0.99
00:32:11.000 And the best meme that I saw over the weekend was how it started for the Libertarian Party. 0.70
00:32:14.000 It's a picture of Mel Gibson from the Patriot.
00:32:16.000 How it ends for the Libertarian Party. 0.98
00:32:18.000 It's like shirtless morons dancing around with rainbow tattoos on one arm And Iron Cross is on the other. 1.00
00:32:27.000 The Libertarian Party is a mockery of itself, which means that basically it's a scam party. 0.99
00:32:31.000 It exists in order to raise money for its leadership every four years, because they certainly have no intention of ever winning anything.
00:32:37.000 With that said, this is a very close election, and so that meant...
00:32:40.000 The Libertarian Party invited the three major candidates who are out there, Trump, Biden, and RFK Jr.
00:32:47.000 to go and speak at the Libertarian Party Convention.
00:32:50.000 RFK Jr.
00:32:51.000 went there and spoke and then was put in a nomination.
00:32:55.000 He didn't get the nomination.
00:32:56.000 We'll discuss the person who got the nomination in a second.
00:32:59.000 Biden didn't even bother to show up.
00:33:00.000 Trump showed up. 0.98
00:33:01.000 And the Libertarians, because, again, it is a complete circus over there filled with clowns, they decided they were going to loudly boo Trump. 0.97
00:33:08.000 Which, of course, the left-wing media then turned into, Trump booed by Libertarians. 0.97
00:33:12.000 Okay, name a thing Libertarians won't boo.
00:33:13.000 They're like Philadelphia Phillies fans booing Santa Claus.
00:33:17.000 Libertarians are never for anything.
00:33:18.000 They're against everything.
00:33:20.000 You know, they boo like Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:33:23.000 Like, they'll boo literally anyone.
00:33:26.000 And so, like, libertarians boo a thing is just called a day.
00:33:30.000 That's not even an event.
00:33:31.000 So Trump showed up, they started booing him. 0.96
00:33:33.000 They should have been flattered that he showed up to the clown show anyway. 0.99
00:33:36.000 That he was out there, you know, trying to make waves with a crowd of useless doofy in their basements. 1.00
00:33:45.000 And again, on economics, I'm pretty damn libertarian. 1.00
00:33:48.000 The Libertarian Party is a full-scale disaster area clown show filled with idiots. 1.00
00:33:53.000 And they're booing Donald Trump. 1.00
00:33:55.000 And I gotta say, you know, the media tried to play this as big L for Trump.
00:33:58.000 I don't think so.
00:33:58.000 Here is Trump going after the libertarians.
00:34:00.000 Trump will address the Libertarian Party at his national convention on Saturday.
00:34:08.000 The Libertarian Party should nominate Trump for President of the United States!
00:34:13.000 Whoa! 0.71
00:34:14.000 That's nice.
00:34:16.000 Can you hear the loud boos in the crowd?
00:34:22.000 Only if you want to win.
00:34:25.000 Only if you want to win.
00:34:26.000 Maybe you don't want to win.
00:34:28.000 Maybe you don't want to win.
00:34:31.000 They don't.
00:34:32.000 Thank you, D. Roy.
00:34:34.000 Thank you.
00:34:35.000 No, only do that if you want to win.
00:34:37.000 If you want to lose, don't do that.
00:34:40.000 Keep getting your 3% every four years.
00:34:44.000 Well, he's right.
00:34:46.000 They'll be lucky if they get 3% with their actual chosen pick, a person named Chase Oliver.
00:34:51.000 Chase Oliver is a far left person when it comes to libertarian social policies.
00:35:00.000 He supported the employer vax mandates, which is the least libertarian policy in human history.
00:35:06.000 That is so non-libertarian.
00:35:09.000 He is in support of the transing of the kids. 0.92
00:35:12.000 He talks openly about sending kids to drag queen story hour.
00:35:18.000 This is what's going to save the Libertarian Party?
00:35:20.000 There are actual pictures of him, like, with drag queens.
00:35:25.000 He says the best way to export liberty is with an open border.
00:35:28.000 With an open border.
00:35:29.000 He was talking about dismantling border control.
00:35:32.000 He says he should abolish ICE.
00:35:35.000 He's in favor of Obamacare.
00:35:39.000 He fundraised for Obamacare.
00:35:41.000 This is the person Libertarians decide upon, which means that something fishy is happening with the Libertarian Party.
00:35:46.000 Libertarians out there, stop giving your money and your time to a party that does not care about any of your principles and that is raising money to pay its own bills every four years.
00:35:56.000 All they do is put useless candidates on the ballot every four years.
00:35:59.000 The last even relatively interesting Libertarian candidate was Gary Johnson.
00:36:03.000 That was a long time ago.
00:36:05.000 Chase Oliver?
00:36:07.000 Seriously?
00:36:07.000 You're better off nominating no one than Chase Oliver.
00:36:11.000 But this is, this is where we are.
00:36:13.000 This is where we are.
00:36:14.000 Even the Libertarians, like, it's the greatest opportunity any third party has ever been given.
00:36:19.000 There's such an open race right now that RFK Jr., who until just recently was considered a pretty fringe political figure, is pulling 15 to 20% in many polls at this point.
00:36:27.000 And the Libertarians, who have ballot access in virtually all states, are nominating a dude who isn't gonna win even 2% of the vote. 0.55
00:36:35.000 Genius-level, mind-exploding thoughts from the Libertarian Party and the insane clown posse of politics.
00:36:44.000 It's more on this momentarily. 1.00
00:36:45.000 First, America's youth is being taught our nation sucks. 0.71

00:37:43.000 Meanwhile, President Trump, I thought, was fine at the Libertarian Party Convention because, frankly, people who look like refugees from a Mardi Gras parade forming a party, I'm not sure how much respect they deserve from a guy who's very likely to win another presidential term. 1.00
00:37:58.000 But that doesn't mean that Trump had himself a perfect weekend.
00:38:01.000 So the closing arguments in Trump's trial are supposed to happen coming up this week.
00:38:06.000 And there are a bunch of possible outcomes in that Trump trial.
00:38:08.000 He could theoretically be convicted on all of the counts.
00:38:11.000 In order to do that, according to Politico, they have to find beyond a reasonable doubt not only that Trump falsified or caused the falsification of business records with intent to defraud, but also that he did so with the intent to commit or conceal another crime.
00:38:22.000 It's that second element, the intent to commit or conceal another crime, that elevates the charges to felonies.
00:38:28.000 But what's weird is that they've never really alleged what that other crime was.
00:38:33.000 They've suggested a tax crime, maybe, or violation of state or federal election.
00:38:36.000 It doesn't matter.
00:38:36.000 They could theoretically just convict him on everything.
00:38:39.000 They can convict on some and acquit on others.
00:38:42.000 Or they could acquit on all accounts.
00:38:43.000 There could be a hung jury.
00:38:44.000 All you need there is one juror who says this is all BS and doesn't vote in favor of it.
00:38:49.000 It's also possible that the judge, Merchant, who hates Trump, could theoretically just take it out of the jury's hands entirely.
00:38:55.000 He could issue a directed verdict for acquittal.
00:38:58.000 That is unlikely.
00:39:00.000 Really, really unlikely.
00:39:01.000 So, most plausible outcome, he's convicted on some, he's not convicted on others.
00:39:04.000 That's the most likely outcome at this point.
00:39:06.000 It's not gonna make any difference in this election, which is why the Democrats are in a state of absolute, sheer, panicked meltdown.
00:39:12.000 According to Politico, the Democratic Party is starting to sink in that their candidate stinks.
00:39:18.000 Their top headline today, Dems in full-blown freakout over Biden.
00:39:22.000 A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over presidential Biden's reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.
00:39:32.000 All year, Democrats have been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election.
00:39:37.000 But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives.
00:39:43.000 The gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print and what they will text their friends has only grown as worries have surged about Biden's prospects.
00:39:50.000 You don't want to be that bad guy who's on the record saying we're doomed or the campaign's bad or Biden's making mistakes.
00:39:54.000 Nobody wants to be that guy, according to an anonymous Democratic operative.
00:40:00.000 But Biden's stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election are, quote, creating the freakout.
00:40:05.000 This isn't, oh my God, Mitt Romney might become president.
00:40:07.000 It's, oh my God, democracy might end. 0.55
00:40:09.000 So all Donald Trump has to do, literally all he has to do, is not be super crazy.
00:40:14.000 That's it.
00:40:15.000 Just go silent and be not super crazy.
00:40:18.000 Well, you know, we'll find out.
00:40:21.000 Because again, good Trump, bad Trump is in full effect.
00:40:25.000 So he put in a post for Memorial Day, Here is his post from Memorial Day on Truth Social.
00:40:33.000 He said, That's a take. 0.99
00:40:34.000 Memorial Day to all, including the human scum that is working so hard to destroy our once 1.00
00:40:38.000 great country. 1.00
00:40:41.000 That is, that's a take.
00:40:43.000 That's definitely a take.
00:40:45.000 And to the radical left, Trump hating federal judge in New York that presided over Get This
00:40:48.000 Two separate trials that awarded a woman who I never met before a quick handshake at a
00:40:52.000 celebrity event 25 years ago doesn't count.
00:40:54.000 $91 million for defamation.
00:40:56.000 She didn't know when the so-called event took place, sometime in the 1990s, never filed a police report, didn't have to produce the dress that she threatened me with, and it showed negative, and sung my praises in the first half of her CNN interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half.
00:41:08.000 Gee, I wonder why.
00:41:09.000 Under appeal?
00:41:10.000 So, that is the weird Memorial Day post.
00:41:11.000 by a jury or Arthur Engron, the New York State WACO judge who fined me almost $500 million under
00:41:16.000 appeal for doing nothing wrong, used a statute that has never been used before, gave me no jury,
00:41:20.000 Mar-a-Lago, at $18 million. Now for Merchant. So that is the weird Memorial Day post. His other
00:41:28.000 Memorial Day post is a picture of him saluting at Arlington.
00:41:30.000 It said, we can never replace them, we can never repay them, but we can always remember, today
00:41:33.000 that is what we are doing, we remember, which is a fine Memorial Day post. So I mean,
00:41:37.000 the two sides of Donald Trump.
00:41:40.000 By the way, Donald Trump really likes the American military.
00:41:42.000 Like, he really likes those guys.
00:41:44.000 I know, because I met President Trump, I followed him, and I know members of the military.
00:41:48.000 So, you know, that feeling is mutual, by the way.
00:41:52.000 Why would you spend your Memorial Day post with, like, a festivist airing of grievances?
00:41:56.000 I don't know, but that's not the kind of thing that's gonna win you an election.
00:42:00.000 So I highly recommend that Donald Trump not do that for the rest of the campaign.
00:42:04.000 Arty, coming up, Lizzo is very angry at a South Park episode.
00:42:10.000 Oh man.
