Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of The Cajun
Speaker 1: Night Live. I am your host, the Cage to Night,
Speaker 1: Jacob Mook, the one and only, and your homie. I
Speaker 1: want to thank everybody for joining me on this evening
Speaker 1: and doing this man having this information sharing pod, Like,
Speaker 1: we have got a couple of things we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about tonight, a couple of these articles I wanted to
Speaker 1: bring up last week but did not get around too
Speaker 1: because the conversation was just too good to kind of
Speaker 1: go down. And then when we finally got to the
Speaker 1: two hour markets, like, man, I really there was like
Speaker 1: four or five of them that some of them were
Speaker 1: more you know, they wouldn't play well on this episode,
Speaker 1: but a couple of them were like, you know what, No,
Speaker 1: we do need to talk about that. We absolutely do.
Speaker 1: So some of them from last week. We got a
Speaker 1: lot to get through. But I will give the fore
Speaker 1: warning now, this is gonna be a very iron centric
Speaker 1: episode because my own eyes, so much is going down
Speaker 1: in that regard. We got multiple nations rashing their fuel
Speaker 1: allegedly a fertilizer shortage, and they're saying that this is
Speaker 1: gonna get in the way of our food chain right
Speaker 1: of our personal agriculture in America. We have the eighty
Speaker 1: second Airborne that's getting sent to Iran. We have those
Speaker 1: two thousand marines that are already inbound, and people are
Speaker 1: still not exactly sure how and why that's possible. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about the nineteen seventy nine Act that allows
Speaker 1: the president to send troops for ninety days without congressional oversight.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it all. We got a lot
Speaker 1: of things to unpack on this episode, so you know,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna get through it. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: it all. But I want to tell everybody if you
Speaker 1: would like to be a part of this conversation every
Speaker 1: Wednesday night at nine pm Central, then please go to
Speaker 1: the link in the description below to the Cajun Night
Speaker 1: patreon dot com slash Cajun Night. We get together, Like
Speaker 1: I said, just once a week. We share the things,
Speaker 1: we talk about the stuff. It's always a good time,
Speaker 1: just sharing the good word if you will.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate everybody who has made this journey to
Speaker 1: be a part of this with me every week. I
Speaker 1: literally couldn't do this without y'all, and I cannot thank
Speaker 1: y'all enough for joining me and helping me grow this
Speaker 1: to be the information sharing group that it has become.
Speaker 1: So without further ado, we're gonna get straight to it.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of articles. Some of them are
Speaker 1: a little bit more silly, some of them are a
Speaker 1: little bit more serious, and then we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: the meat and the potatoes of the whole conversation. So
Speaker 1: without further ado, I'm gonna go ahead and share the
Speaker 1: screen and let's get after it. Starting off, let's talk
Speaker 1: a little Charlie Kirk's talk a little bit about the man,
Speaker 1: the myth, the legend who apparently his mentor Jeff Webb,
Speaker 1: the father of modern cheerleading, which also I don't know
Speaker 1: if that is like a moniker. Do they mean cheerleading
Speaker 1: like grandstanding or do they mean actual like competitive cheer
Speaker 1: because if that's the case, then I have some follow
Speaker 1: up questions, but neither here nor there. Apparently he died
Speaker 1: in a freak pickleball accident. So for anybody who doesn't
Speaker 1: know what pickleball is, it is a sport that has
Speaker 1: been growing in gaining in popularity here in the last
Speaker 1: two years, give or take. It's basically ping pong on
Speaker 1: a tennis court. It's table tennis, but on a full
Speaker 1: size court. You can get relatively good at it with
Speaker 1: very little athleticism. It's something that you'll see a lot
Speaker 1: of geriatrics play, and a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: not very coordinated who like want to seem like they're athletic.
Speaker 1: Andrew Schultz from The Flagrant Podcast, stand up comic, all
Speaker 1: the things he has been going on about how this
Speaker 1: is like the next big thing as far as the
Speaker 1: sports world is concerned. I don't believe we'll ever see
Speaker 1: a place where we have like a professional pickleball you
Speaker 1: know league out there or whatever. But it is a fun,
Speaker 1: recreational sport that people can get into. And if you're
Speaker 1: you know, relatively uncoordinated or can't really move up and
Speaker 1: down the court the whole a whole lot, you know,
Speaker 1: it works well for that. It keeps you active, keeps
Speaker 1: you moving. It is not, by any stretch of the imagination,
Speaker 1: a dangerous sport. Hell, there's fucking glass walls around the
Speaker 1: picklebat to keep the ball inside, and yeah, you could
Speaker 1: run out of it to like make a hit. And
Speaker 1: there's like some videos you could find these people making
Speaker 1: like this insane rebound blah blah blah. It's like it's
Speaker 1: cool to watch. It's way more fun to play than
Speaker 1: to watch, if this makes sense. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: sports out there there like that, right, Like golf. I
Speaker 1: would rather like actually die than sit and watch a
Speaker 1: golf tournament, but I would go out there and play
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. I love playing it, I hate watching it.
Speaker 1: Pick a ball, in my opinion, is the exact same way.
Speaker 1: But it is not something where you'll see a lot
Speaker 1: of injuries. Maybe somebody like tripped and took a tumble.
Speaker 1: I have heard of one person dislocating their shoulder because
Speaker 1: of a fall or like running into the wall type
Speaker 1: of thing. But this is this is the rarity usually
Speaker 1: people have the where it's like saying that you got
Speaker 1: critically injured playing racquetball. If anybody's ever been to like
Speaker 1: a fox E's or one of those gold gym not
Speaker 1: gold gym, sorry, but one of these YMCA gyms where
Speaker 1: they had like a racquetball court. It's basically a concrete
Speaker 1: hue with a glass wall and you're playing against the wall,
Speaker 1: and shit, it's fun, don't get me wrong, but nobody
Speaker 1: is gonna die from a freak raquetball accident. That's about
Speaker 1: equivalent to what we're talking about here. And apparently Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk's mentor, Jeff Webb, father of modern cheerleading, as some
Speaker 1: might say, died in a freak pickleball accident. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about it here. So turning point. USA described Web as
Speaker 1: a visionary who helped shape generations of young leaders and
Speaker 1: believe deeply in the power of community and country. So,
Speaker 1: all right, Jeff Webb, one of Charlie Kirk's mentors who
Speaker 1: built his career around cheer the cheerleading industry. Okay, no,
Speaker 1: we're talking about actual competition cheerleading. This is a dude
Speaker 1: who did that, all right. Died at the age of
Speaker 1: seventy six following a pickleball accident. Okay, this makes a
Speaker 1: little more sense. It makes a little more sense knowing
Speaker 1: that he's a geriatric to say that he died playing pickleball, Like,
Speaker 1: all right, that's the sport that he should be doing.
Speaker 1: But I would be very curious as to the how, right,
Speaker 1: So let's see if the article breaks it down a
Speaker 1: little bit more, they may not kind of fresh news.
Speaker 1: So let's see Varsity spirits the cheerleading company the Web
Speaker 1: founded back in nineteen seventy four, shared the news of
Speaker 1: the founder's death on March nineteenth, alongside a video outlining
Speaker 1: his commitment to making cheerleading more dynamic, as well as
Speaker 1: his impact on the industry. Join us in honoring the
Speaker 1: life and legacy of Jeff Webb, founder of Varsity Spirit
Speaker 1: and Modern Cheerleading, the company wrote in a caption Moving On,
Speaker 1: It says, according to an email obtained by Cheer Daily, course,
Speaker 1: of course there's literature around competition cheer. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I'm shocked. Why wouldn't there be? Varsity Spirit president Bill
Speaker 1: Seeley said Webb suffered a fall while playing pickleball two
Speaker 1: weeks prior to his death. Reportedly sustained severe head injury
Speaker 1: during the accident, and his family later made the decision
Speaker 1: to remove him from life support. Okay, what what kind
Speaker 1: of hit did you take while playing old people tennis?
Speaker 1: To where you fine taking ahead and dream of your trip?
Speaker 1: You bust, you jass you, You split a wig, all right,
Speaker 1: and then after two weeks of agony, the family decides
Speaker 1: to pull the plug.
Speaker 3: And that's the most undignified way to go, y'all, couldn't
Speaker 3: have lied and say that he died while like trying
Speaker 3: to save a puppy from traffic and a car hit
Speaker 3: him and that's why his head got split. Like, there's
Speaker 3: ways that this could have been a little more dignified.
Speaker 1: But I mean, the man also made his career off
Speaker 1: of the competition cheer industry, So I guess dignity is
Speaker 1: you know, it's a subjective thing. I suppose. Uh, all right, Sam,
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of what you're about to add in, but
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, rest in peace, dude and everything. But
Speaker 2: how the fuck you died playing the most English sounding
Speaker 2: sport there is. I'm not even talking about like California English.
Speaker 2: I don't try like true blue fucking California English.
Speaker 1: Wait, talk about we gotta break that down. What the
Speaker 1: fuck is California English?
Speaker 2: Communists?
Speaker 1: Ah, you said, I gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, Okay, So I
Speaker 1: will say this is a lot less English than like cricket,
Speaker 1: you know, But at the same time.
Speaker 2: Look, cricket is one of those games you can half
Speaker 2: ass follow when it's fucked up. There is no damn
Speaker 2: way you can follow a game that is a mixture
Speaker 2: of ping pong, badminton and tennis.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 5: Ping pong is literally the.
Speaker 2: Fat boy version of fucking tennis.
Speaker 1: I fucking was watching Bluie with my youngest kid earlier
Speaker 1: today and the dad was watching cricket on the television
Speaker 1: they call it the Telly or whatever, and uh, he
Speaker 1: was watching something. He's like, how is that an FRB?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what the fuck is an FRB in cricket?
Speaker 1: What what is this? And I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: It's not actually worth my time to look into it
Speaker 1: because cricket makes absolutely no goddamn sense to me. I know,
Speaker 1: the Pakistani's go hard with it.
Speaker 2: Look to quote the the the awesome Raphael to know
Speaker 2: what the fuck quick it is. You gotta know what
Speaker 2: a stone is, and I'm American. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the fuck.
Speaker 5: That shit is.
Speaker 1: It's like a really dry muffin.
Speaker 2: Again, the British don't know how to fucking cook not much.
Speaker 1: They boil everything. But it was neither hid or there. Pickleball,
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's a British sport. I also don't
Speaker 1: know for a fact that it's an American sport. It's
Speaker 1: like I said, it's something that for like people who
Speaker 1: are relatively uncoordinated but still want to get out and
Speaker 1: like do something semi athletic and it's fun. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to shit on pickleball whatsoever. I am saying that
Speaker 1: to sustain a life threatening injury from pickleball, That's the
Speaker 1: wildest shit I've heard this week. Honestly. It like this
Speaker 1: be like, can you imagine somebody taking a spill in
Speaker 1: tennis and then two weeks later their family pulling the plug?
Speaker 2: Like That's what I don't understand is I understand he's
Speaker 2: a geriatric fuck, but like, how do you fall knock
Speaker 2: yourself in the head, but then die to that two
Speaker 2: weeks later? Like at that point, if he's unconscious, can't
Speaker 2: do nothing, and he's already inagonizing pain and damn near
Speaker 2: daddy plug the first day.
Speaker 1: Maybe he had a blood clyt yo. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but he was a big due a turning point. Maybe
Speaker 1: he didn't get that jab.
Speaker 2: Maybe Erica killed him.
Speaker 5: I think had killed dude.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm glad you brought that up as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, because I have been seeing. First of all,
Speaker 1: I am so happy the internet is roasting canvas. This
Speaker 1: makes me so happy and Carroll's getting it right now.
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson's getting it right now. A lot of these people.
Speaker 2: In this huh, I mean Tucker Parson.
Speaker 1: Which we're gonna talk about him in a minute, and
Speaker 1: the outlandish claims he made.
Speaker 2: Potential Iranian.
Speaker 1: Mole by the way, I'll say, an Arab mole. But
Speaker 1: also now I believe that he is CIA funde counter op.
Speaker 1: I believe it's well, I mean, and you follow his career, dude.
Speaker 1: He started at CNN, right, and a lot of people right,
Speaker 1: but people don't know that he was. You remember who
Speaker 1: was a handy and Combs? Was it that? Or uh?
Speaker 1: Oh shit? Who was the liberal talking head that was
Speaker 1: on Fox? And it was their way of saying, like, see,
Speaker 1: we're not just republican. We have this guy to give
Speaker 1: us the other side of it. We're fair and balanced.
Speaker 1: CNN did the same thing, and I don't know who
Speaker 1: did at first. I want to say maybe CNN did
Speaker 1: at one point, like they were the first ones. Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson was their republican talking head to debate and go
Speaker 1: against their liberal things that they were saying at the time.
Speaker 1: And fine, cool, never mind the fact that his dad
Speaker 1: was CIA never mind the fact of how he got
Speaker 1: his start in journalism or all these things. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, side step it. Then he gets on Fox,
Speaker 1: people love him. He got burned by Fox. He started
Speaker 1: his own independent media company, and I'm using that term
Speaker 1: very loosely. Podcasting is by definition of media company. But
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And people loved him because
Speaker 1: he was coming in with some crazy hot takes and
Speaker 1: now he's off the chair, he's unleashed. He'll say whatever
Speaker 1: the hell he wants. And then you started to see
Speaker 1: where the money was coming from. Certain interviews that he
Speaker 1: was able to get that no one else is able
Speaker 1: to get was basically a softball questioning from him, and
Speaker 1: in a lot of regard, cockstroking of the person he
Speaker 1: was with, whether it was, you know, a leader of
Speaker 1: a country or the leader of a faction or whatever
Speaker 1: the case is. Now and listen, Okay, if you're against
Speaker 1: the war in Iran, if you're against American troops going
Speaker 1: to Iran, cool, that's completely fine. I got no issues
Speaker 1: with that. The way he's going about it is completely unhinged.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get to that in a minute. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it all. But anyway, anyway, cutting back,
Speaker 1: I don't think that Eric or Kirk had Charlie killed.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that she may not have had fore
Speaker 1: knowledge of it and let it happen. Therefore she's complicit.
Speaker 1: Therefore she had a hand I guess for like playing
Speaker 1: these mental gymnastics. I don't think she's the one that
Speaker 1: like hired the shooter or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Sam, I'm not saying she hired the shooter,
Speaker 2: but I will say the fact that I look I
Speaker 2: at one point, I do feel bad for the father
Speaker 2: of her children was brutally murdered, and as y'all know,
Speaker 2: I fucking glad I looked up at Charlie.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, they he pulled his entire career that he was
Speaker 2: at toning point.
Speaker 5: He started it like.
Speaker 2: Since I even married, he's had the uh the picture
Speaker 2: of him and his wife on his wedding day. As
Speaker 2: soon as she took that chair, she took that down
Speaker 2: and put the skull of the time mood in it and.
Speaker 1: A lot of so is that a fact? Yeah, the mood.
Speaker 6: She definitely put a picture. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 7: This is not the first time that I've heard it,
Speaker 7: although I never haven't done enough us Johnna.
Speaker 6: But apparently it was some sort of picture. But I mean,
Speaker 6: the time is not small, so I don't know, right, it's.
Speaker 2: The scroll of of it came in, which part of it?
Speaker 2: But no, and she accepted the money that Charlie turned down.
Speaker 2: He turned down the money, he gets killed, and not
Speaker 2: soon after she accepts the money and everything. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but one of these things just doesn't belong here in
Speaker 2: that bitch is corupt.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that she's not by any means. I'm
Speaker 1: not exactly a massive fan of her, especially after the
Speaker 1: media did this wild thing after he died and made
Speaker 1: it seem like she was gonna just like take lead.
Speaker 1: They were saying she was the most powerful woman in
Speaker 1: DC at that moment. Incorrect by like mathematically it's incorrect.
Speaker 2: Would have more of a swinging dick than Erica. But
Speaker 2: like there's an audio foul, Like I say, audio foul,
Speaker 2: but it's her on the phone with the one of
Speaker 2: the Epstein's fucking victims saying, don't worry, I'll get the
Speaker 2: I don't worry about it. I'll leave Jeff the tie.
Speaker 2: I'll leave Jeff Jeff the schedule talking about Epstein and
Speaker 2: her whole thing about herbie and linked to child trafficking
Speaker 2: in Romania.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about that right there. So the whole
Speaker 1: thing about her in Romania, the allegations took place when
Speaker 1: she was six, like, she was not associated with that
Speaker 1: organization at that time, but there is that connection. I'm
Speaker 1: not denying that a lot of these mission groups in
Speaker 1: Romania were actually just front loading the deck and trafficking
Speaker 1: children out the back door while she was associated with it.
Speaker 1: She if that was going on, then she wasn't there
Speaker 1: and it wasn't the group that she was with. But
Speaker 1: there is a lot of compelling evidence to say that
Speaker 1: those groups were out there for nefarious purposes. But the
Speaker 1: actual allegations on the company she was with were when
Speaker 1: she was a child, like, she was not in Romania
Speaker 1: at that time. Now, I haven't heard this thing about
Speaker 1: an audio clip with Epstein or about Epstein. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard this yet. I would love to get my hands
Speaker 1: on if you want to send it to the cult Instagram,
Speaker 1: let me like help me out here again.
Speaker 2: Because I heard that shit today and for personal reasons,
Speaker 2: it got my blood boiling even more so than what
Speaker 2: I've been having for like the last past week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. Now. With that being said, I don't
Speaker 1: like how she handled a lot of things, and I'm
Speaker 1: not exactly a huge fan of her, and I don't
Speaker 1: understand people handle grief different ways. And I'm out side
Speaker 1: stepping that also because there's if she would have just
Speaker 1: been a sobbing wreck and she's supposed to take over
Speaker 1: turning point and she's like beside herself, people would have
Speaker 1: looked at her like, see, this is why a woman
Speaker 1: can't be in charge of a company. They're true emotional
Speaker 1: Flip the other side of it, if she would have
Speaker 1: been cold and calculated and said, listen, that happened, but
Speaker 1: we have to push forward. This and this, Oh well,
Speaker 1: clearly she never loved him, and this and this, which
Speaker 1: is the option she chose. I think that somewhere in
Speaker 1: the middle would have been a good way to go
Speaker 1: about it, not one or the other. But that's the thing.
Speaker 1: There's going to be hater's either side. What I didn't like.
Speaker 1: What I didn't like was how so many people started
Speaker 1: rallying behind her in a weird religious way. And what
Speaker 1: I mean by that is, y'all know who Kim clement Is.
Speaker 1: He's a a media No, he was a pastor that
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought was a prophet, which I
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly disagree with. You can find these clips of him
Speaker 1: on YouTube from like twenty twelve, and he's in the
Speaker 1: middle of a church service. You got the band behind him.
Speaker 1: It's like they're in flow time where the praise and
Speaker 1: worship is like they just stopped the band music and
Speaker 1: he's about to start his message, but like they're in
Speaker 1: this like kind of vibey time where like he's just
Speaker 1: getting a download or something, and.
Speaker 4: He's all, like, I see the future of this country,
Speaker 4: and there's going to be a woman ros from the
Speaker 4: Ashes and lead a new wave of revival across this nation.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah and all these things, and
Speaker 1: the crowd was loving it, eating it up, and people
Speaker 1: kept saying, Oh, clearly in twenty twelve or whenever there was,
Speaker 1: he was talking about Erica Kirk from the Ashes of Charlie,
Speaker 1: and so many people that I personally know were like, y'all, watch,
Speaker 1: She's going to lead a revolution in this country for Jesus.
Speaker 1: And it's like, okay, ay, we don't have profits anymore.
Speaker 1: Stop that, b She's not the person y'all think she is.
Speaker 1: Stop that and see Kim Clement was wrong a lot,
Speaker 1: so like this is really that's like, it's a mess.
Speaker 1: It's a fucking mess. And I do not like how
Speaker 1: so many evangelical types rallied behind her second tier because
Speaker 1: of her husband. It's kind of the same thing as
Speaker 1: Dale versus Dale Junior and NASCAR. Hear me out, hear
Speaker 1: me out. When Dale Senior died, Rip, we all died.
Speaker 1: We all died a little inside that day when three
Speaker 1: hit the wall. I'm not denying this. What I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that Rip Dale's up there fucking leaving donuts on
Speaker 1: people's cars as we speak. But all of his fan
Speaker 1: base then went straight to his son. And I understand
Speaker 1: this in one regard. I get it, But Dale Junior
Speaker 1: will never be and has never been, a fraction of
Speaker 1: what his daddy was. And that's a crazy thing to
Speaker 1: throw in your lot with him on the decades of
Speaker 1: racing that his dad did. Same thing here with Erica
Speaker 1: and Charlie. Erica is never going to be what Charlie was.
Speaker 1: She's never going to be that person on the business side,
Speaker 1: on the proved me wrong side on the respectful debate
Speaker 1: side on any of that. So the way that people
Speaker 1: rally behind her second tier because of Charlie in one
Speaker 1: respect I understand. I like, you know, grieving widow, new
Speaker 1: leader of turning Point. I get it. But to the
Speaker 1: level that people went with it was a little off
Speaker 1: putting to me personally.
Speaker 2: I understand that. And what was off putting to me
Speaker 2: the most, like shortly thereafter his death, like right before
Speaker 2: she went into that big thing, or at the big
Speaker 2: event where she came out with all the fucking pile
Speaker 2: I think, and she's Dave Batista.
Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying, So let me finish.
Speaker 2: There is a video of her backstage right before she
Speaker 2: goes out, crying and everything putting in fucking fake ass
Speaker 2: or eye drops, so on that alone.
Speaker 5: Fuck that bitch.
Speaker 1: That That's what I'm saying. There's a way to do things.
Speaker 1: This wasn't it now. I'm not saying it should have
Speaker 1: been the flip opposite. And she came out a squalling,
Speaker 1: screaming mess that couldn't stand up straight without being aided.
Speaker 1: Like there's gotta be some happy medium, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Coming out to a pyrotechnic show, going out there and
Speaker 1: having like a little bit of some tears and then
Speaker 1: right back into the cold hearted business woman thing like
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bad look, you know, Royce, your
Speaker 1: hands raised, your unmuted, what you got.
Speaker 8: So first of all, I think it's all just about
Speaker 8: the show with the tears, with with the whatever face,
Speaker 8: whether she has her crazy eyes or fucking nuts.
Speaker 1: I do like those crazy eyes she did on the
Speaker 1: on that one show that was fucking god.
Speaker 6: So between the so between the crazy eyes her please
Speaker 6: forgive him for heat. They don't know what they do, Like,
Speaker 6: what the fuck is wrong with you? Like just no
Speaker 6: normal grieving person does this ship. Everything that she's done
Speaker 6: is has been complete for the ruse.
Speaker 8: And then in addition to that, there was a picture
Speaker 8: that I dropped in the chat that you might find interesting.
Speaker 6: I don't know the veracity, but it seems fairly interesting.
Speaker 1: Let me pull up the chat and see what is
Speaker 1: up here. New documents revealed Erica Kirk used to work
Speaker 1: for Jeffrey Epstein. Do not stop talking about the Epstein files.
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna have to do a deeper dive. Honestly,
Speaker 1: this is twice in one episode where I've heard that
Speaker 1: there is a Epstein Erica Kirk connection. I am not
Speaker 1: saying that that is liars or false. I'm saying I
Speaker 1: haven't heard this before tonight, So we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: talk about this more. We got him mighty go ahead, Sam.
Speaker 2: That bitch has more red flags into the Soviet parade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is maybe why Charlie ran to her. You know,
Speaker 1: I personally know guys that love red flags.
Speaker 2: I mean, I personally I see red flags and screen flags.
Speaker 2: But then again, I've said multiple times grippy socks equals
Speaker 2: grippy box.
Speaker 5: But that bitch stay the away from her.
Speaker 2: She won't ruin your life.
Speaker 5: She'll just fucking take it.
Speaker 2: That bitch out there is a fucking black widdow from Hale.
Speaker 5: I mean, I bet she's fun.
Speaker 2: Don't marry the bitch, You're gonna die.
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know, I don't know. I'm still I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I'm on the fence with her. I'm more
Speaker 1: leaning towards the not in favor of pretty much anything
Speaker 1: she's doing. But I don't know. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: do more digging on this one. This again, first time
Speaker 1: hearing it, so we will do a deep dive on
Speaker 1: it and probably be talking about it on an episode
Speaker 1: of The Cult here soon. I just have a feeling. Anyway,
Speaker 1: beside the point, let's get back to this article here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: dude did cheerleading things. Cool, cool, cool, cool, But this
Speaker 1: is the guy, this is the guy in question that
Speaker 1: died from a pickleball accident. It's crazy. So following Kirk's
Speaker 1: violent death in September, Web remember the act the activist
Speaker 1: whom he met through a friend in Atlanta when Kirk
Speaker 1: was twenty four years old, as a man with an
Speaker 1: incredible amount of charisma and a great sense of humor,
Speaker 1: both accurate. It's been a week of high emotion, very
Speaker 1: emotion you could think of, anger, sadness, frustration. Has just
Speaker 1: been one of those weeks, he told Real America's Voice
Speaker 1: in September, So that was right after this fascination. So anyway,
Speaker 1: just leading up this episode here. So Charlie Kirk, one
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk's mentors, died in a pickleball accent, which
Speaker 1: I thought was crazy, but I wanted to play this
Speaker 1: clip and this is from the week Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Speaker 1: So before before people talk about, oh, you know, he
Speaker 1: was turning on Israel and that's why they killed him.
Speaker 1: It was Mussad. It was clear of them. And then
Speaker 1: Candace says that it was obviously the French Foreign Legion
Speaker 1: tied in with Mussad agents, tied in with CIA agents,
Speaker 1: tied in with Antarctica people and whatever whatever. Please understand
Speaker 1: this was him one week prior to him getting a
Speaker 1: bullet to the neck. So here's what he thought about
Speaker 1: Israel at the time. And again, I y'all tell me
Speaker 1: what y'all think.
Speaker 9: Do youar have really come into my Christianity and my faith?
Speaker 9: So as a baby Christian, I'm curious where our loyalties
Speaker 9: should stand when it comes to Israel. And the second
Speaker 9: part is the New Covenant truly transcendent? Does it alter
Speaker 9: everything that was before this?
Speaker 10: Do you think God breaks his promises?
Speaker 6: I do?
Speaker 10: Okay, you do not. So that's an important question. It
Speaker 10: says in Genesis seventeen that God has an everlasting covenant
Speaker 10: with the people of Israel, has chosen people, so we
Speaker 10: have a choice to make. We can say that that
Speaker 10: was just exaggerative writing, or is that literal everlasting covenant
Speaker 10: with the people of Israel. But the most important thing
Speaker 10: in the question that we must ask is that do
Speaker 10: we believe that the land rights given to Israel seven
Speaker 10: times throughout Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, numbers and Generoni and repeated
Speaker 10: in Joshua are completely null and void? And the second part,
Speaker 10: which is important for those people that believe in replacement theology,
Speaker 10: do you believe that when it's End Times prophecy, when
Speaker 10: it says Israel the physical place of Israel, that that
Speaker 10: has any connection to the actual physical place today. Now
Speaker 10: you say where should your loyalty lie? Where I disagree
Speaker 10: with some pastors is where they say we must defend
Speaker 10: everything that the Israeli government does. You should not defend
Speaker 10: everything that the Israeli government does.
Speaker 11: Period.
Speaker 10: You are loyal to one thing only. You are loyal
Speaker 10: to Jesus Christ. With that being said, some of my
Speaker 10: greatest experiences haven't been in the nation of Israel. I
Speaker 10: saw where Gesi this walked on water, where he was
Speaker 10: raised from the dead. There is unmistakable spiritual energy in
Speaker 10: the state of Israel when you visit there. Sometimes there's
Speaker 10: a theological argument and a geopolitical argument. The theological one,
Speaker 10: I think should be very simple, which is that the
Speaker 10: error I think replacement theology makes can be found in
Speaker 10: Romans nine ten or eleven, where in Romans eleven, Paul
Speaker 10: basically says we are grafted in to the Old Covenant,
Speaker 10: that we are an extension to the Jewish people on
Speaker 10: top of us. He says, even though the Old Covenant
Speaker 10: is way, do not cast away the people of Israel,
Speaker 10: but instead we are a covenant on top of Now.
Speaker 10: There isn't equally as confusing verse in Hebrews ten. I
Speaker 10: don't want to get into that. The other aspect that
Speaker 10: I think is very concerning. Some people have used this
Speaker 10: debate as an excuse to pedal their jew hate. There
Speaker 10: is a disturbing rise online of people that want to
Speaker 10: blame the Jews. Everybody. If you are blaming the Jews
Speaker 10: for your decisions, you are on a bad, self destructive cycle,
Speaker 10: and you should stop immediately and repent. That is evil,
Speaker 10: and that is dark, and that is wrong. You should
Speaker 10: not do that. But there's a lot of things the
Speaker 10: Israeli government does that I don't like. I can name them.
Speaker 10: The Israeli government has really bad abortion policies. The Israeli
Speaker 10: government has gay pride parades, in downtown Tel Avison. The
Speaker 10: Israeli government pushed the vaccine on all their people and
Speaker 10: basically turned Israel into a Petri dish for a vaccine
Speaker 10: that none of us supported. I don't like the fact
Speaker 10: that the Israeli government mistakenly, unmistakeably bombed the church the
Speaker 10: last couple of weeks ago. All that being said, though
Speaker 10: Israel looks like a much better country when contrasted with
Speaker 10: what I said earlier, with Islamic totalitarianism around it. They're
Speaker 10: not a perfect country. They're not a country that honestly
Speaker 10: we should even talk as much as we do. But
Speaker 10: we as Christians should pray for the piece of Jerusalem
Speaker 10: that is unmistakable. We as Christians to reject jew hate,
Speaker 10: and we as Christian should find unity and one thing
Speaker 10: that we can all agree on, we should seek to
Speaker 10: bring every Jewish person on the planet to Jesus Christ,
Speaker 10: because Jesus is the answer.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotta say he sounds actually like based here, like
Speaker 1: he's you can you can support the nation of Israel
Speaker 1: existing and also disagree with some of the government implications
Speaker 1: here and some of the laws that they've passed, and
Speaker 1: some of the things that net and Yahoo does like
Speaker 1: these two things can't be true at the same time,
Speaker 1: and I think that people that somehow, and that's my God.
Speaker 1: I agree with what he said about the whole the
Speaker 1: jew hate thing online. A lot of people want to
Speaker 1: blame all of their problems on the Jews, which if
Speaker 1: anybody's ever opened a history book before, has been a
Speaker 1: going trend for the past two millennia about right, And so, yeah,
Speaker 1: that that's a whole thing. When we talk about Israel,
Speaker 1: the nation, when we're talking about the government entity itself, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are a bunch of government officials, the same corrupt
Speaker 1: style of government official as every other country. I also
Speaker 1: can agree that the nation doesn't need to exist, and
Speaker 1: that's for religious reasons, for geopolitical reasons, for whatever. And
Speaker 1: I have to agree with them on that other point.
Speaker 1: I understand that net and Yahoo is a raging piece
Speaker 1: of shit, a fully, I believe this in my heart
Speaker 1: of hearts. But if you just look around them, at
Speaker 1: their neighboring cotes, and you can see the lifestyle choices
Speaker 1: that these people make based off of their religious dogma,
Speaker 1: and the lifestyle choices that the nation of Israel makes
Speaker 1: based off of their religious dogma. One of these nations
Speaker 1: is doing way better per capita, overall quality of life
Speaker 1: and all the things than pretty much all the other ones.
Speaker 1: You draw your own conclusions as to what you believe
Speaker 1: on that. I'm not here to tell people what to think,
Speaker 1: but it's it's worth mentioning. He was saying this a
Speaker 1: week before he was murdered, because Israel clearly killed him.
Speaker 1: What he said just now didn't sound like ISRAELI hate
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know, maybe I'm off base here, Sam,
Speaker 1: I see her hand.
Speaker 2: I can't understand why people like say, oh they hate
Speaker 2: the Jews or every like especially I don't get it,
Speaker 2: but I understand that people walk in the tribalism and everything,
Speaker 2: and half of them.
Speaker 5: Are fucking stupid.
Speaker 2: They don't actually do their own research. They just want
Speaker 2: to go with what a lot of times it's what's trendy,
Speaker 2: or it's what they've been grown up into, like the
Speaker 2: stereotypes at the jew only that the Jews. The reason
Speaker 2: why I have money, have ridges is because the Jews
Speaker 2: wild clip them. I think I'm like that that that's
Speaker 2: but there is used a lot for Jewish hate, and
Speaker 2: I just think it's fucking retarded because the fucking Irish.
Speaker 2: They're not the Irish, but the Italians did the same thing, know,
Speaker 2: in the twenties.
Speaker 1: But no, want to never mind the fact that our penny,
Speaker 1: I know, specifically the penny the designed for it was
Speaker 1: designed by a Jewish dude, you know, with the ridges
Speaker 1: and all that.
Speaker 2: So whatever, the the penny doesn't have riges.
Speaker 5: The penny is.
Speaker 1: Loose, the older pennies, not the new one with the
Speaker 1: with the shield on the back, the one with the
Speaker 1: Lincoln memorial on the back. Yeah, it's got ridges.
Speaker 2: I have one of those. It doesn't like I have
Speaker 2: an entire thing full of pennies.
Speaker 1: Look at the wheat penny.
Speaker 2: That is the only one I do not have.
Speaker 1: So so actually I know that one for a fact
Speaker 1: because I'm a I'm penny collector, like I have. I
Speaker 1: have every penny from every mint, or at least one
Speaker 1: of every penny from every mint from nineteen oh eight
Speaker 1: to twenty sixteen. So and that was like a thing. Honestly,
Speaker 1: when I got into coin collecting. It's a lot cheaper
Speaker 1: to collect pennies rather than quarters, just on average. But
Speaker 1: and I think my probably my most prized possession is
Speaker 1: uh as far as the coin collection goes is nineteen
Speaker 1: forty three, uh steel penny from San Francisco, So they
Speaker 1: only made steel pennies for that one year, and I
Speaker 1: think that one's really cool.
Speaker 2: I actually had when I was younger, I had a
Speaker 2: penny from nineteen twelve. I also had a I had
Speaker 2: a japan I want to say. It was some Asian
Speaker 2: coin like it was roound, but there was a square
Speaker 2: in the middle and with a whole punch through the middle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which I was dope as fucked. But I'm collecting pennies.
Speaker 2: But that's because when shits fan, if I don't have lead,
Speaker 2: I could just put those bitches down of shotgun tube
Speaker 2: and say here ye hear ye bitches from That is
Speaker 2: an option.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so the whole thing here, I agree with
Speaker 1: what he's saying, the whole jew hate thing that is
Speaker 1: going on even more now than it was before he died.
Speaker 1: It's a little unfounded, and honestly it's people just like
Speaker 1: looking for an excuse and have y'all, dude, have y'all
Speaker 1: seen what is going down in the Groyper space. So
Speaker 1: the Nick fuintes the what Andrew Tait this space of
Speaker 1: these dudes and there's like four of them. One of
Speaker 1: them is like a half Jew who's now a Muslim,
Speaker 1: and the other dud's like nineteen who just got arrested
Speaker 1: for going to a club with a fake idea or whatever.
Speaker 1: These are the dudes that was releasing the videos of
Speaker 1: them singing along with Kanye's Songhle Hitler and all that shit.
Speaker 1: They have now turned on each other. They keep calling
Speaker 1: each other jew They keep saying that all like this
Speaker 1: group that eight months ago were like thicker than thieves.
Speaker 1: These were the homies. They were trying to stand firm
Speaker 1: for the men out there and all this and it whatever,
Speaker 1: and now they have imploded because they're all toxic human beings,
Speaker 1: let alone the shit they're talking about. And now they're
Speaker 1: just calling each other paid by Jews and oh, he's
Speaker 1: a mussataeg you can't trust him, and like it's a mess.
Speaker 1: And thank god that the groyper complete internet space is
Speaker 1: imploding because that shit was garbage. And also, I really
Speaker 1: hope Nick Fuintes just goes off into the realm of
Speaker 1: obscurity somewhere and never gets hurt from again. That would
Speaker 1: be phenomenal, honestly, and Andrew Tait. Both of them are
Speaker 1: absolute dogshit human beings. But yeah, so's it's a weird
Speaker 1: pingulum swing that's happening right now. I kind of in
Speaker 1: favor of that. I hate that Charlie's not with us
Speaker 1: to see it, but yeah, talking more about the political
Speaker 1: pundits and talking heads here. So Caroline Levitt, and this
Speaker 1: is from the Irish Star. Of all the publications, this
Speaker 1: is the one that got sent in. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about here. Caroline Levitt. You may know her as the
Speaker 1: blonde that speaks at the White House on behalf of
Speaker 1: the president a whole bunch. She joins Turning Point USA
Speaker 1: tour after cryptic regrets post quote unquote White House Press
Speaker 1: Secretary Caroline Levitt has been criticized for joining Erica Kirk
Speaker 1: on a college speaking tour which follows her recent baby shower.
Speaker 1: Erica Kirk and Caroline Levitt are embarking on a tour
Speaker 1: just days after the White House Press secretary discussed regrets
Speaker 1: on social media quote unquote. The dour are joined, joining
Speaker 1: forces for an appearance at George Washington University on April second.
Speaker 1: That's in DC. The event will launch at This is
Speaker 1: the Turning Point USA tour, where guests will accompany thirty
Speaker 1: seven year old Erica to speak at university campuses throughout America.
Speaker 1: Each stop is a chance to honor Charlie's mission and
Speaker 1: keep the fight alive. We know he wouldn't want us
Speaker 1: to surrender or be coerced into silence. Free speech is
Speaker 1: the only free if we use our voices. Turning Point
Speaker 1: USA wrote on the GWU Events web page, George Washington,
Speaker 1: You this comes after Caroline's baby shower invite list was
Speaker 1: a wow. Okay, so oh that's interesting. Caroline Levitt joining
Speaker 1: the Turning Point USA speaking uh tour, I mean why not?
Speaker 1: If anything, it would be good for her to get
Speaker 1: out there in a more non white house way. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I I know people that cannot stand her.
Speaker 1: They hate her voice, they hate the thing she says.
Speaker 1: They think that she's just really bitchy to the press.
Speaker 1: Which also, I don't think we bully journalists enough. I
Speaker 1: think we can be more of assholes to journalists out there,
Speaker 1: and I think we, you know, we can do it together.
Speaker 1: You know we I believe in you out there. You're
Speaker 1: If you think you're bullying journalist enough, you're not. But
Speaker 1: moving on, let's talk more about the DC space. So
Speaker 1: US intelligence official Joe Kent quits over Trump's war in Iran. Now,
Speaker 1: for those that don't know who your boy, mister Kent,
Speaker 1: Joe Kent is, I gotta say I am as of
Speaker 1: this moment, unless somebody's got some sort of a some
Speaker 1: dirt on him that I don't know of. I like
Speaker 1: the guy a lot. Your boy was doing some special
Speaker 1: operations warfare things for years. He married a woman in
Speaker 1: the army. She actually died overseas. He's a father, he
Speaker 1: is a full on operator. Your boy guns. He absolutely
Speaker 1: has stacked bodies in his past. And when he was
Speaker 1: speaking on some geopolitical things in the realm of warfare,
Speaker 1: he was speaking as a first person source, like your
Speaker 1: boy has been there and done that and knows what
Speaker 1: he's talking about. So for him to walk away from
Speaker 1: the Trump administration because of Iran, I don't think that
Speaker 1: this is something that should be just kind of mentioned.
Speaker 1: I think this is something we need to pay attention to. Now.
Speaker 1: This is one of the articles I wanted to bring
Speaker 1: up last week and we did not get to it here.
Speaker 1: So he says, Joe Kent, we started this war due
Speaker 1: to pressure from Israel, he said in his resignation letter
Speaker 1: to President Trump. The head of the US National counter
Speaker 1: Terrorism Center resigned March seventeen, saying he cannot in good
Speaker 1: conscience support the ongoing war in Iran, with the first
Speaker 1: top Trump administration official to quit over the conflict Joe Kent,
Speaker 1: a decorated former Army ranger and CIA paaramilitary operator. Her officer,
Speaker 1: i should say, was a top aide to Director of
Speaker 1: National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who oversaw all US counter terrorism
Speaker 1: efforts in the US and overseas. Now that's another one.
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked if within the next thirty
Speaker 1: days Tulsi Gabbard walks away from the administration, honestly, and
Speaker 1: it's not because of her and Trump having some sort
Speaker 1: of a falling out. What I've noticed is the last
Speaker 1: few times that there's been a speaking engagement where she
Speaker 1: had a microphone in front of her, she was she
Speaker 1: was quiet. She gave very short answers yes, no, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'll find out, and that was it. She
Speaker 1: did not offer her opinion, she did not offer her
Speaker 1: support to towards the president or this administration. She was
Speaker 1: very much just trying to keep her her voice and
Speaker 1: her quotable clips to a minimum. I'm of the belief that,
Speaker 1: and I do believe that she had an immense amount
Speaker 1: of respect for Joe Kent. I would not be shocked
Speaker 1: if Tulci Gabbard walks away from this administration here in
Speaker 1: the next month, but we will see anyway. In a
Speaker 1: March seventeenth post on social media platform x, Kent said
Speaker 1: that after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my
Speaker 1: position as director of the National counter Terrorism Center effective today.
Speaker 1: I mean, you didn't give a two week notice. You
Speaker 1: gave him a two day notice, motherfucker. I'm out of
Speaker 1: here to day. So Aaran poses no or posed no
Speaker 1: imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that
Speaker 1: we started this war due to pressure from Israel and
Speaker 1: its powerful American lobby. Kent wrote in a letter to
Speaker 1: the President, who nominated him for the top US counter
Speaker 1: terrorism job on February third of last year. Trump responded
Speaker 1: with criticism when asked about Ken's resignation at the White House.
Speaker 1: I've always thought he was a nice guy, but I
Speaker 1: always thought he was weak on the security, very weak
Speaker 1: on security. We're talking to a former CIA counter terrorism. Dude,
Speaker 1: like he was. He gunned for the CIA encounter terrorism.
Speaker 1: He's very weak on security. Okay, that's a quote from
Speaker 1: our esteemed president. I don't know him well, but I
Speaker 1: thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when
Speaker 1: I read a statement, I realized it's a good thing
Speaker 1: he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat.
Speaker 1: Iran was a threat. Okay. The Office of the Director
Speaker 1: of National Intelligence, which oversees NCTC, the National Committee for
Speaker 1: the Terrorism did not immediately respond to USA Today for
Speaker 1: requests for comment. There are many false claims in this letter,
Speaker 1: but let me address one specifically. This is Caroline Levitt
Speaker 1: actually issued a lengthy response on x. This is Caroline
Speaker 1: speaking here, the one who's about to go on tour
Speaker 1: with Erica. There are many false claims in this letter,
Speaker 1: but let me address one specifically, that Iran posed no
Speaker 1: eminent threat to our nation. This is the same false
Speaker 1: claim that Democrats and some on the liberal media have
Speaker 1: been repeating over and over. Levitt said, as President Trump
Speaker 1: has clearly and explicitly stated he had strong and compelling
Speaker 1: evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first. Okay,
Speaker 1: y'll the liberal media who was saying that Iran posed
Speaker 1: no threat. Please keep in mind five years ago and
Speaker 1: before that.
Speaker 2: The Liberals were the warhawks.
Speaker 1: We talked about that on the show, where the Liberals
Speaker 1: were the ones that were saying that we needed to
Speaker 1: go to war with Iran. They didn't say the Middle East,
Speaker 1: they didn't say Palestine, they didn't say they were all
Speaker 1: specifically saying that we needed to go to war with Iran.
Speaker 1: The Republicans were the ones that seemed like the piece
Speaker 1: hippies at the moment. There was a fraction of time
Speaker 1: for a good few years there where for some reason
Speaker 1: the warhawks went liberal, or at least the warhawk ethos
Speaker 1: went to the liberal side of the conversation. Right now,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these same people that we could
Speaker 1: pull up quotes of them who are now saying that
Speaker 1: Trump is a warmonger in all this, they specifically by name,
Speaker 1: were saying that we should go to war with Iran
Speaker 1: just a few years ago. So okay, clearly they're not
Speaker 1: a threat, even though they sure the fuck thought they
Speaker 1: were just a few years back. Funny how that works
Speaker 1: out depending on who's in the Oval office. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the ranking Democrat on the
Speaker 1: Senate Intelligence Committee, called Kent's record deeply troubling and said
Speaker 1: he strongly disagreed with many of the positions he has
Speaker 1: espoused over the years, particularly those that risk politicizing our
Speaker 1: intelligence community. Politicizing our intelligence community. Uh, mister Mark Warner
Speaker 1: is a little behind the times. The intelligence community has
Speaker 1: been politicized since Korea. Real shit, Like I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I mean, we can make the argument to say, like,
Speaker 1: definitely Vietnam like that, absolutely, there was no doubts about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Hew Nixon with his plumbers and all that.
Speaker 1: But like I would argue before that, I would argue
Speaker 1: even before Kennedy. I don't think it's a crazy claim
Speaker 1: to make to say that our intelligence agencies and bureaus
Speaker 1: have been heavily politicized since Hoover. Actually, so, I, you know, whatever,
Speaker 1: this person's just just running his mouth as they do.
Speaker 1: You know, go ahead, Sam.
Speaker 5: I'm just coloring me.
Speaker 2: Curious and all. But why is it when typically when
Speaker 2: the right wants peace and don't want all of the left,
Speaker 2: they want to go full hall charge and try to
Speaker 2: swing that big dick. But yet when it's actually time
Speaker 2: to knock up and shut up and actually fucking put
Speaker 2: put boots asses. The Democrats, they want to reason the
Speaker 2: way out, They want to play politics, They want to
Speaker 2: put wars and engagement on our boys. And yet they
Speaker 2: want to try to go behind behind that actually what's
Speaker 2: best for the country's back, and do fucking bullshit behind
Speaker 2: behind the behind closed doors so that they can line
Speaker 2: in their pocket. And that's not just that the Democrats,
Speaker 2: that's both sides. I feel like the fact that the Democrats,
Speaker 2: not all of them, but a lot of them are
Speaker 2: saying that we shouldn't even be in this. This is
Speaker 2: quote unquote Israel is your war. But yet for that
Speaker 2: do they forget for like the last forty to fifty
Speaker 2: fucking years that the Iranians have been saying death to America,
Speaker 2: what do you think that means? That means they want
Speaker 2: to genocide us. So yeah, they fucking kill the the
Speaker 2: Ayatola and just fucking turn it into a parking lot.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying to kill the innocence, because that's
Speaker 2: never the correct thing to do, but kill our innocence.
Speaker 2: They just they have sleeper sales here. They just are
Speaker 2: fucking Iranian. Just throw it nail bomb at a group
Speaker 2: of fucking protesters.
Speaker 5: But wait, it's saying that.
Speaker 2: Is quote unquote islamophobic, which pho phobic means an irrational fear.
Speaker 2: That's pretty fucking rational. When they want, they say from
Speaker 2: the tops of the lungs, they want to kill every
Speaker 2: American man, woman, and child. So quote unquote go fuck themselves.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear what you're saying. And Iran has
Speaker 1: not been shy about their hatred of America for decades now.
Speaker 1: But I mean, we also believe in freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: There's Americans in America that like American citizens, that scream
Speaker 1: death to America and burn flags and do all their shit.
Speaker 1: They also don't need to be here.
Speaker 2: That's also called treason, and in my opinion and the
Speaker 2: opinions of the forefathers, there's only one fucking treatment for that,
Speaker 2: and it's called a long rope and a short drop.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that statement. However, the Iranians can
Speaker 1: scream whatever they want. They they I don't think that
Speaker 1: Iran was gearing up to attack America. And that's the
Speaker 1: other thing too. Even if and I a really really
Speaker 1: comprehensive deep dive into this one before I speak on it.
Speaker 1: They were, Yes, they were developing stronger uranium and they
Speaker 1: were trying to get it weapons grade ready. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and the world has said that they don't want that.
Speaker 1: Russia and Putin and Trump just came together and agreed
Speaker 1: that Iron doesn't need nukes, like nobody wants around to
Speaker 1: have nukes except Iran. Okay, fine, fine, fine. Even if
Speaker 1: they had ninety nine pure uranium and ready to go
Speaker 1: into a bomb, they don't have the technology for a
Speaker 1: delivery system that could actually put it on American soil. Now,
Speaker 1: they could absolutely attack Israel. It's right there. I see that,
Speaker 1: and the neighboring countries and all this. They could have
Speaker 1: been hell for Europe and all that. As far as
Speaker 1: an American problem being a US thing that we need
Speaker 1: to get involved with, that's not an accurate statement. And yes,
Speaker 1: they have sleeper cells, so does a whole lot of countries.
Speaker 2: Did they or did they not just bomb try to
Speaker 2: bomb the David Garcia, the fucking joint base with the UK.
Speaker 1: Diego Garcia, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Said that they never They didn't even have the fucking
Speaker 2: missiles to reach that. But oh wow, even old Pierce Morgan,
Speaker 2: the fucking English cook says, maybe, I mean really is
Speaker 2: a direct threat to Europe. And look, I will not
Speaker 2: be shy about it. I think Isam is the biggest
Speaker 2: fucking threat to the world. They have gone like they
Speaker 2: don't even have to build the nukes. The way things
Speaker 2: are going, London is about to fall big into.
Speaker 5: The calif.
Speaker 1: Agreed. But that's not an American problem. That's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, as far as America looking out for America's interest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we're trying to protect our homies, because like we
Speaker 1: through NATO and all these things, if if pretty much
Speaker 1: half of Europe gets attacked, we have to go in
Speaker 1: on their behalfs So like I'm with that, if Iran
Speaker 1: had attacked a European that's a NATO member, we'd be
Speaker 1: having a different conversation here as of the time of
Speaker 1: US dropping bombs on their uranium shit not purifying uh
Speaker 1: development refining there. It is as far as US bombing
Speaker 1: and like hitting those bunker busters and hitting their uranium
Speaker 1: refining facilities, that was like borderline, Hey dude, we're sticking
Speaker 1: our toes where we don't need to right now, because
Speaker 1: it's not a US problem, it's our homies. Problems, but
Speaker 1: it's not our problem. If they would have done something
Speaker 1: more than maybe we could have justified these types of things.
Speaker 2: But Jacob, we are literally they have the little Satan
Speaker 2: and the big Saint. Israel and America are the biggest
Speaker 2: fucking quote unquote threats.
Speaker 5: We all the No.
Speaker 2: One targets for them. We represent everything they hate. Well,
Speaker 2: you know what, I say, fuck it with the point
Speaker 2: we need to do the preemptive strike.
Speaker 1: I hear that. I hear that. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: they hadn't done anything to us yet, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I believe in innocent until proven guilty or at least
Speaker 1: something along those lines. Now, now it's a lot. I
Speaker 1: believe in guilty until proven innocent. That's true. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: be fair.
Speaker 2: They all teaching everybody how to make they there was
Speaker 2: Iran teaching the the fucking they were the ones who
Speaker 2: doing the IEDs and every.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are the number one world's sponsor of terrorist organizations.
Speaker 1: And that's not like a hot take. That's they have
Speaker 1: documented by multiple countries intelligence agencies.
Speaker 5: They have killed more Americans than than it. They have
Speaker 5: killed Americans, so at.
Speaker 1: That tertiarily like if they taught the dude how to
Speaker 1: make the bombs, and then those bombs killed an American.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't an a Ranian that did it. It was
Speaker 1: like a Pakistani that did it or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's I see what you're saying, like, if you go
Speaker 1: up the chain.
Speaker 2: You're classified. Look, I understand there's a difference. There's a
Speaker 2: thing called borders, but and Islam is Islam that you
Speaker 2: cannot They're all the fucking same.
Speaker 1: Sunni and shee Eed are kind of different.
Speaker 2: Even Muslims don't even like other Muslims. This year as
Speaker 2: soon he's the fucking Kurds. They're all killing each other.
Speaker 1: Catholics and Protestants don't usually jive. They've killed each other
Speaker 1: for years two.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at the Irish and the English exhibit A.
Speaker 1: But as far as getting involved in Iran, as far
Speaker 1: as getting involved in Iran, I'm not inherently against it.
Speaker 1: I also think that it could have been done a
Speaker 1: whole lot differently. I don't know, It's one of these
Speaker 1: things that are gonna shake out weird and who We
Speaker 1: have some things to talk about on that one, because
Speaker 1: well before I get to the other articles where we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about more troops going over and the
Speaker 1: fact they just raise the enlistment age in America. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to these things, but first, Tony, your hand
Speaker 1: has raised what you got.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got a few things where to start. First
Speaker 11: of all, if Iran was going to strike the US first,
Speaker 11: I think it would have been great to just from
Speaker 11: Trump or Israel's perspective, to just let them. After all,
Speaker 11: that's what happened with Pearl Harbor, and America gained a
Speaker 11: huge amount of moral authority to enter the war that
Speaker 11: it wouldn't have had if Pearl Harbor hadn't happened. Yep,
Speaker 11: And yeah, that's why. Also, I strongly believe that Iran
Speaker 11: was not about to fire the first shot. I think
Speaker 11: if Iran to Saantists had been president, he might have
Speaker 11: been able to maneuver them into firing the first shot.
Speaker 11: But even then, I'm kind of doubtful. Irn knows that,
Speaker 11: you know, it can't afford to give the US a
Speaker 11: green light to attack Iran. So the US just did it.
Speaker 11: The US did it for Israel because Iran was not
Speaker 11: a significant threat to the United States, but it is
Speaker 11: a significant threat to Israel because it gives lots of
Speaker 11: rockets and guns to Hesbalah in Lebanon, and Israel wants
Speaker 11: to conquer southern Lebanon up to the Latani River. So yeah,
Speaker 11: that's the reason this war happened. I got several other
Speaker 11: things here, but feel free to revisit that if you want.
Speaker 1: I agree with what you're saying. For the record, I
Speaker 1: think that if they would have let them attack very
Speaker 1: much of a pearl harbor and nine to eleven situation,
Speaker 1: then who could argue with us having to go over there?
Speaker 1: But they Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. Continue.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, the objections from people like me would have
Speaker 11: been dismissed. Yeah, but have you heard the conspiracy theory
Speaker 11: that the attacks on Diego, Garcia and Cyprus might not
Speaker 11: have been launched by Iran at all? They might have
Speaker 11: been launched by Israel. Israel does have much much longer
Speaker 11: range weapons and it's way closer to Cyprus, and maybe
Speaker 11: Israel did that in order to get the US to
Speaker 11: think and Europe to think Iran's a bigger threat than
Speaker 11: it really is, because historically they have been at least
Speaker 11: on record claiming that their missiles only have a range
Speaker 11: of twenty five hundred kilometers specifically so that they can
Speaker 11: present themselves there's no threat to the United States.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard on it. I can't say that I
Speaker 1: believe them. I could. I see where they're going with
Speaker 1: this for sure. But if that was the case, they
Speaker 1: were trying to do a false flag to get the
Speaker 1: like post case, trying to get the American people behind like,
Speaker 1: oh no, we need to send our troops over there.
Speaker 1: I feel like it would have been a little more accurate,
Speaker 1: like we've already had with thirteen or sixteen US people
Speaker 1: die so far. It's like they if that's the goal,
Speaker 1: they are fucking it up.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Iran has not claimed credit yet, right, maybe they
Speaker 11: want to keep some deniability. And I'm not saying there's
Speaker 11: a zero percent chance they did it. They still could
Speaker 11: have done it. It's just, uh, I'm not sure about
Speaker 11: That's another thing, the whole death to America thing. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I just want to mention that death to blank is
Speaker 11: just a common expression in Farsi and Arabic and even Hebrew.
Speaker 11: You can say death to this car, death to this curve,
Speaker 11: death to you know, anybody, and it's not meant to
Speaker 11: be taken literally.
Speaker 1: And okay, that's hot. Take Doug.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I know it's kind of dismissive, but
Speaker 11: they do not have this genocidal ambition towards the United States,
Speaker 11: and to the extent that they hate the United States.
Speaker 11: I would say they're actually pretty justified in those feelings,
Speaker 11: but they just want to keep to themselves then want
Speaker 11: the US messing with them. But that's what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I would have to respectfully disagree with you on that one.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Iranian people, the civilian population
Speaker 1: all agree that we need to genocide America. I will
Speaker 1: say the Ayatola has been very loud and vocal and
Speaker 1: clear about that, or the former Ayatola rest and piss
Speaker 1: I think he was very much of that mindset for years.
Speaker 1: Justified or not, we could argue that point to the
Speaker 1: cows come home. But I also don't believe that the
Speaker 1: Iranians wanted to keep themselves because it wasn't like they
Speaker 1: were just funding Hesboalo. They were funding, I think right now,
Speaker 1: confirmed five different terrorist organizations to do their bidding for
Speaker 1: like basically as an auxiliary unit of them, funded for
Speaker 1: trained by them, all these things. So that doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like keeping to yourself or being isolationists by any means.
Speaker 11: Okay, Well, the Iranians were also a major help to Syria,
Speaker 11: the Syrian government fighting against al Qaida and ISIS. And
Speaker 11: so if Hezbel has a terrorist organization or the IRGC
Speaker 11: or the Kods Force, the thing is these organizations were
Speaker 11: fighting against al Qaeda and ISIS. And I feel like
Speaker 11: al Qaeda and ISIS, especially al Qaeda is a bigger
Speaker 11: random city the United States than any Shia organization, but
Speaker 11: Israel feels like those SA organizations are a bigger threat.
Speaker 1: So as this sounds like the Sineloa cartel isn't the
Speaker 1: bad guys because they were waging war on the Bloods
Speaker 1: and the Cryps. It doesn't. Just because they were waging
Speaker 1: war on the people that were considered criminals doesn't make
Speaker 1: them any less criminal. Okay.
Speaker 11: Well, let's say the Bloods and the Crypts did nine
Speaker 11: to eleven, but the sin Aloans didn't. So my perspective
Speaker 11: as an American would be I don't really have beef
Speaker 11: with the sin Aloans. I would have beef with the
Speaker 11: Bloods and the Cryps. And that analogy.
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I can understand that. But the nine to
Speaker 1: eleven conversation that's why we were at war for two decades.
Speaker 1: Like we handled that, and that didn't have to do
Speaker 1: with Iran. If anything, I would say they had more
Speaker 1: to do with Saudi Arabia honestly because all the dudes
Speaker 1: that flew the planes were Saudi, so like it, you know.
Speaker 11: That's fifteen of them were. Well, what the US did
Speaker 11: after nine to eleven was kind of pivot back and
Speaker 11: forth between supporting Suonies and supporting Shia. So for the
Speaker 11: phase of the Iraq War until two thousand and seven,
Speaker 11: we supported the Shia, the Bottle Brigade, Supremus, Liman of Council,
Speaker 11: the Dawa Party. And then after two thousand and seven,
Speaker 11: simultaneously with the Surge, we started supporting the Suonies more.
Speaker 11: And that's why places like Falluja into Crete, which had
Speaker 11: been you know, hotbeds of insurgency, go added down because
Speaker 11: the US decided to try to make friends with the Sunnies. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and then the Isis War started and then the US
Speaker 11: kind of had to pivot it, you know, back against
Speaker 11: those particular Suonies and well and right now we're in
Speaker 11: a very anti Shia mode. So we pivoted a couple
Speaker 11: of time since nine eleven. Yeah, I think we got
Speaker 11: to stop. And if anything, I'm more against the Sunnis.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a dog in the fight to
Speaker 1: say I'm an anti one versus the other. I guess
Speaker 1: I'm I'm equally skeptic and dismissive and untrusting of all
Speaker 1: the above. To be honest with you, the Alla Whites,
Speaker 1: the Kurds, all of them. I just you know, I
Speaker 1: like the Kurds more, but that doesn't mean I like them,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. And honestly, as we just learned
Speaker 1: more about some of the Kurdish mutilation of their women
Speaker 1: and shit like that, I'm starting to shift my perspective
Speaker 1: from that one as well. I don't know. I also
Speaker 1: believe that Kurdistan should be its own nation. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that makes me, as far as like I
Speaker 1: believe Israel shit exists as a nation. So I guess
Speaker 1: the whole Oh, you're asiringist. Okay, Well, what does it
Speaker 1: mean if I also think the Kurds should have their
Speaker 1: own land? I don't know.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know. I don't really have a strong
Speaker 11: opinion on that. All I know is that the Turks
Speaker 11: and the Iraqis in the Irani and hate the idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they do. But but yeah, I'm I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: I would say that Iran is an enemy of the
Speaker 1: United States, and that's okay, cool, so is China. I
Speaker 1: feel the same way as far as that goes. I don't.
Speaker 1: I really don't like the whole situation. I've been saying
Speaker 1: that America doesn't need to go to war because that's
Speaker 1: the only time that this country does well. And I
Speaker 1: stand by that. And actually there's whole people. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I'll pull this one up. There's an article I pulled
Speaker 1: up talking about the costs of war. This is from
Speaker 1: the Watson School of International and Public Affairs. This book
Speaker 1: talks about the actual costs of war versus what we
Speaker 1: get out of it, and how war is actually beneficial
Speaker 1: to a first world nation. And there's there's quite a
Speaker 1: few people or is this the other one I had
Speaker 1: pulled up? Here? The Worth of War is another book
Speaker 1: from Benjamin Ginsburg, And I know there's gonna be people
Speaker 1: that disagree with this. What I will say is that
Speaker 1: war is in fact a great driver of human progress,
Speaker 1: and no nation has benefited more from war in the
Speaker 1: last century two than the United States. That's the reason
Speaker 1: why the British Empire was what it was. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that America needs to get on some imperialistic
Speaker 1: kick and start putting up colonies everywhere. There's an argument
Speaker 1: to say that we've been doing that anyway, But I'm
Speaker 1: saying that the only time that we have real, true
Speaker 1: technological innovation is at the behest of the war machine.
Speaker 1: Later on it gets put towards the civilian market, and
Speaker 1: then we all get what we would now call creature
Speaker 1: comforts because of war efforts. That's the only time America
Speaker 1: does well. We are a warring tribe. So yes, I
Speaker 1: agree that war is good for us. However, there are
Speaker 1: so many other places where we could have done world
Speaker 1: police shit and had some sort of a moral backing
Speaker 1: to say, you know what, No, that's wrong, we need
Speaker 1: to stop this. There's people so x, y and Z,
Speaker 1: and we just don't do that. And I wish we
Speaker 1: did the whole situation with Iran. I'm hoping that it
Speaker 1: gets wrapped up quickly, but oh, it's starting to look
Speaker 1: like that's not the case. I don't know, it's it
Speaker 1: could go either way. As of this moment. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that more on the next article. But Royce
Speaker 1: way in Sir.
Speaker 7: So, I just wanted to add something about that Tony
Speaker 7: said about the whole death to America or death to whomever.
Speaker 7: There was a video that I saw that I can't
Speaker 7: verify the veracity because I don't speak Arabic, but there
Speaker 7: was a video of I believe the previous Ayatola, who
Speaker 7: was in front of his students or whomever, and there
Speaker 7: was the English subtitles of what he was saying Arabic
Speaker 7: and basically said something to the effect of when I
Speaker 7: say death to America, I'm not talking about the death.
Speaker 12: To the American people. I'm talking about the death to
Speaker 12: the politicians, those those who who were in charge. So
Speaker 12: that's not to justify one thing or other, but it
Speaker 12: was very interesting to see that video.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually, okay, talking about crazy videos that Iran has
Speaker 1: released on some things, this one was sent to me
Speaker 1: and ah, this this was a bit of a This
Speaker 1: one got me. This one was a weird one that
Speaker 1: Iran just put this out. And yes, I understand the
Speaker 1: video is completely AI started to finish. I understand that,
Speaker 1: but they still put it out on their national cable syndicate. Whatever.
Speaker 1: It is. This was playing on Irani and TV. Tell
Speaker 1: me what y'all think about this?
Speaker 13: Watch this only going around Iran did get this on
Speaker 13: Twitter and it's one AI video, but apparently this was
Speaker 13: shown on media in Iran.
Speaker 11: My jaw hit the ground when he got.
Speaker 13: To the middle and you'll see why.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's just break it down for anybody who's
Speaker 1: just listening. First of all, you need to be on
Speaker 1: Patreon dot com, slash kage and I have to see
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. But secondly, they just went
Speaker 1: through a list of places. Right There was a woman
Speaker 1: in Vietnam that looked up to the sky. There was
Speaker 1: a kid in Palestine that looked up to the sky.
Speaker 1: There was a little blonde girl on Epstein Island that
Speaker 1: looked up in the sky. There are all of these
Speaker 1: people from all over the world that were looking up
Speaker 1: to watch an Iranian missile will come down and hit
Speaker 1: what was supposed to be the Statue of Liberty, even
Speaker 1: though it was a bull's head and it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be like a ball type of situation. And that
Speaker 1: video ends with they won vengeance for all. So that
Speaker 1: is what Iran feels as of this moment. And they're
Speaker 1: bringing in. They also brought the picture or I told
Speaker 1: a Kamane was on it and their other dudes Solomani
Speaker 1: one of their generals that's also dead. So as far
Speaker 1: as this goes, yeah, no, they're not fond of us,
Speaker 1: and they never they haven't been. I understand people say, well,
Speaker 1: right now, you ex we're bombing them. They they have
Speaker 1: been saying shit like this and putting out publications like
Speaker 1: this for years. This is not a new thing. So yes,
Speaker 1: that's what Iran is doing to try to get the
Speaker 1: people behind them, so to speak. So Royce, I don't
Speaker 1: know if with the video you're talking about here, I
Speaker 1: don't know how that ties in necessarily. But some of
Speaker 1: these things, man, some of this media that is coming
Speaker 1: out is mind blowing. I don't know if you had
Speaker 1: anything else.
Speaker 14: You aros No, no that I just to put my
Speaker 14: hand on.
Speaker 1: I got you gods, Oh it's wild ship Sam? What
Speaker 1: you got? Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The computers being a fucking bitch. But no, I sent
Speaker 2: you a link. I couldn't. I'm on my laptop, so
Speaker 2: I couldn't said it because it's on my phone. So
Speaker 2: I sent it to you. Uh So the Cajun Knight
Speaker 2: uh ravingly the cold thing on Instagram. But there's a
Speaker 2: woman that were in the article. She uh, So if
Speaker 2: a woman is raped in Iran, she is uh she
Speaker 2: is considered an adulteress and can be sentenced to death
Speaker 2: by stony that. But no, if she kills the guy
Speaker 2: who's gonna rape her, she gets she faces a murder
Speaker 2: charge and they still killed her. But the what they
Speaker 2: also allowed, like right before the woman is killed, the
Speaker 2: it is done well a rapist, so she doesn't go
Speaker 2: to heaven. So that right there, and the fact that
Speaker 2: they cut off a woman's clear and they just brutalize
Speaker 2: their women. I think that that that on that alone
Speaker 2: all the human rights violations.
Speaker 1: Glass well, no, no, I'm with you. However, we do
Speaker 1: need to make sure we mention the fact that Africa
Speaker 1: has a lot of countries that do the exact same
Speaker 1: shit because of their version of Sharia law. That's my
Speaker 1: point though, right, that's my point. If America was going
Speaker 1: to go to a country for moral reasons to be
Speaker 1: the world police, there are so many nations that needed
Speaker 1: that help, and the Iranian situation was, uh, it was
Speaker 1: because of certain fundings, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: I proposed to starting Iran, and I'll work our way
Speaker 2: down throughout the desert and throughout the African continent and
Speaker 2: just all the rapists and everybody that lives like that
Speaker 2: and brutalized women, string them up.
Speaker 11: See.
Speaker 1: I would like this, but apparently that makes people upset
Speaker 1: because of warmongering things.
Speaker 2: I suppose, Well, then you know what they can be
Speaker 2: strung up to, because how if you can sit there
Speaker 2: and let a woman be raped, be let her be killed,
Speaker 2: and beat stone to death. And look, I joke and
Speaker 2: say I'm stone like a biblical whole all damn time.
Speaker 2: But no, you can throw a fucking big gass rock
Speaker 2: and hit a woman in their head. You're not a human. No,
Speaker 2: that that's not being a person. That's being a fucking animal.
Speaker 1: It's the same. It's the same in Afghanistan with the
Speaker 1: chaiboys and so many dudes that I know witness this
Speaker 1: and could do nothing about it because oh, that's just
Speaker 1: their culture. Fuck that.
Speaker 2: Then destroy the fucking culture at rotten, then it should
Speaker 2: not exist.
Speaker 1: I fully agree with this, but apparently we're just imperiless glassholes.
Speaker 5: I understand.
Speaker 2: That makes me sound fucking genocidal. You know what, I
Speaker 2: don't give a fuck. They shouldn't exist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a mess. It's a US Tony. I saw
Speaker 1: you unmute a couple of times way in, Tony.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the Taliban actually got rid of most of the
Speaker 11: pedophiles in Afghanistan, and the US invasion got rid of
Speaker 11: the Taliban and put the pedophiles in charge. Again.
Speaker 2: That's you just legalized child marriage in full on slavery there, Tony,
Speaker 2: so ilieve boy, I think you're being brainwashed by the
Speaker 2: fucking uh the old dickheads. I like to fuck boys
Speaker 2: and goats.
Speaker 11: No, no, you see, Islam's against homosexuality raping boys.
Speaker 1: They are no, no, no, no, no, no no, by the
Speaker 1: letter of the word. Islam is against homosexuality, even though
Speaker 1: Muhammad himself was gang fucked by a group of dudes.
Speaker 1: But that is in their book that, yes, homosexuality is
Speaker 1: wrong by the word. However, No, the Taliban was big
Speaker 1: with the chiboy scene. That wasn't that wasn't a thing
Speaker 1: that they were trying to fix whatsoever. And to Sam's point,
Speaker 1: they did just legalize child brides. The Taliban did that.
Speaker 5: And don't you can go slavely there too.
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, okay, the Taliban also got rid of the
Speaker 11: opium trade, which was brought right back after the US
Speaker 11: deposed them.
Speaker 1: They've gone back and forth on that, though it depends.
Speaker 1: The was like every two years they would swap up
Speaker 1: on that. You would have a Taliban leader take over
Speaker 1: and say, hey, opium or anything that, you know, fucks
Speaker 1: up our minds and gets us. You know, a little
Speaker 1: inebriated is wrong. It's haram. We need to burn all
Speaker 1: the opium fields. So they would and then they would
Speaker 1: go broke. So in about two years, a new guy
Speaker 1: would take over and say, hey, boys, the Taliban is
Speaker 1: back in the opium business. And then they would and
Speaker 1: then they would say, wait a minute, this is haram.
Speaker 1: This is horrible. We're we're aiding in the you know,
Speaker 1: the evil in this world, and they would take it down.
Speaker 1: The Taliban has gone back and forth on that point
Speaker 1: almost on a two to three year spectrum for the
Speaker 1: past fifteen years. That's that's nothing new. That had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the Americans. Hell, if anything, the Americans
Speaker 1: are guarding the fields for them half the time. So
Speaker 1: we can wager that to get he's an intel. But
Speaker 1: then that was also a mess because how accurate is
Speaker 1: the intel, Like, do we know that this dude saying, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy lives here is absolutely a bomb maker? Do
Speaker 1: we know that for effect? Or does this guy owe
Speaker 1: him money and he's using us to do his dirty work.
Speaker 1: That happened a lot, So it was a mess mess
Speaker 1: start to finish. But yeah, the Taliban is not like
Speaker 1: a good group of dudes by any means. Hell, there
Speaker 1: was a there was a reporter, actually I know if
Speaker 1: two reporters, specifically one who was a woman who went
Speaker 1: and did interviews with the Taliban and one of their
Speaker 1: top dogs. And I would be wrong to even try
Speaker 1: to pronounce his name. It doesn't matter. He's a piece
Speaker 1: of shit. And they were talking about hyboys, they were
Speaker 1: talking about women and all these things, and she even
Speaker 1: made the mention of like, so do you think maybe
Speaker 1: women could go to school or like get the right
Speaker 1: to vote? They laughed and like they started threatening her,
Speaker 1: so they had to leave and that was all caught
Speaker 1: on camera. Then you had the situation where those two
Speaker 1: people from was it France decided that they were gonna
Speaker 1: buy sickle across Afghanistan because that wasn't that Like they
Speaker 1: were there was convinced that what the media was telling
Speaker 1: you about the Taliban isn't accurate at all. They're actually
Speaker 1: good dudes, and it's all bad portrayals. They were found
Speaker 1: on the side of the road beheaded like one week
Speaker 1: into their journey, and it's like, no, these really are
Speaker 1: those pieces of shit.
Speaker 11: Okay. So Taliban does not let women vote, that is true.
Speaker 11: And they used to be very harsh against women and
Speaker 11: saying that they shouldn't even be educated to learn how
Speaker 11: to read. They've actually softened up a lot on the
Speaker 11: whole education front and they do let women and girls
Speaker 11: go to school now. So that is the Norman in Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Now, I would have to look into that one due
Speaker 1: because that would be a drastic shift in a very
Speaker 1: short amount of time. What was the what was the
Speaker 1: inspiration for that shift? If you don't mind me asking.
Speaker 11: I don't know, just time. And the Taliban basically ceased
Speaker 11: to exist for a short period of time after the
Speaker 11: US invasion, but it came back into existence later. It's
Speaker 11: kind of like how the Klan ceased to exist around
Speaker 11: nineteen hundred and then it came back a decade later.
Speaker 11: It's it's just they needed something to name it. So
Speaker 11: even though it was kind of a different organization. They
Speaker 11: just went with the same old name.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they went away after the US
Speaker 1: got there, because even in two and three, our guys
Speaker 1: were trying to work with them, but then the Taliban
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly super fans of al Qaeda, right, and so
Speaker 1: we were working with them, but then the Taliban started
Speaker 1: coming against us because you know, Afghanistan itself is a
Speaker 1: very clandestine country. So it's like most people in Afghanistan
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you who the president is, but they could
Speaker 1: tell you who their village leader is. Kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It's it's not a it's a it's a completely different
Speaker 1: society than what any American is really used to. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Taliban is like all of
Speaker 1: a sudden cool with women reading and voting or not voting.
Speaker 1: We're reading and learning and all this stuff. I would
Speaker 1: have to do a little bit more on that one
Speaker 1: to really verify that. But fair Okay, Now getting back
Speaker 1: to the Iranian conversation, Let's talk about the eighty second
Speaker 1: Airborne that is going to Iran right now, so just
Speaker 1: we're clear, it's only two thousands, the same as the
Speaker 1: Marines that are going over there. It's like twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred or so. Let's talk about this. Trump is sending
Speaker 1: the eighty second Airborne paratroopers to Iran. What's next? The
Speaker 1: US is sending nearly seven thousand additional Army and Marine
Speaker 1: troops to the Middle East, signaling the possibility of a
Speaker 1: ground operations in the Iran war. That is not much
Speaker 1: of a strong point, y'all. That is not much of
Speaker 1: an assault force. Just so we're clear. Though President Trump
Speaker 1: has repeatedly said I'm not putting troops anywhere, the US
Speaker 1: Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt told reporters March twenty fifth
Speaker 1: that Trump does not bluff and it is prepared to
Speaker 1: unleash hell against Iran. The Pentagon has ordered two thousand
Speaker 1: soldiers from the Army's eighty second Airborne Division, including the
Speaker 1: first Brigade Combat Team, to that region. The directive that
Speaker 1: issued March twenty fifth follows the deployment of two twenty
Speaker 1: two hundred marine Marine Expeditionary units to the first on
Speaker 1: March thirteenth and the second on March nineteenth. It was
Speaker 1: not known where the ground units will be positioned. Their
Speaker 1: presence gives Trump additional leverage as diplomatic negation negotiations rather continue,
Speaker 1: Iran rejected a fifteen point piece plan offered by the
Speaker 1: United States officials March twenty fifth. Yeah, Trump made them
Speaker 1: an offer to day as of time of recording, and
Speaker 1: they rejected it. I think that's worth noting. Now. We'll
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that too, because the
Speaker 1: unconditional surrender and all of these things. Tucker made a
Speaker 1: statement that I feel like people really need to hear
Speaker 1: because that's wild. But Trump, I'm sorry, Trump, Carlson is
Speaker 1: absolutely paid for by these focks. But neither here nor there,
Speaker 1: so talking about this. People remember, not too long ago,
Speaker 1: there was an entire fleet parked off of the coast
Speaker 1: of Venezuela. More naval assets were in the Caribbean that
Speaker 1: had been in decades, and all of these things. They
Speaker 1: were getting ready for an invasion. He's sending marines, he's
Speaker 1: sending this. We didn't launch an invasion into Venezuela. We
Speaker 1: did not. Now, if we're going to keep it fair,
Speaker 1: we also did not start bombarding them with artillery either. Right,
Speaker 1: it was a show of force as a tactic to
Speaker 1: leverage force. And I understand this, but just because troops
Speaker 1: are inbound. Does not mean that we are about to
Speaker 1: launch an invasion. I want this to be clear. The
Speaker 1: Army of Marine units will be in addition to about
Speaker 1: fifty thousand US military personnel who are already part of
Speaker 1: the war. Iranian leaders have criticized Trump's for Trump for
Speaker 1: increasing US forces in the area and say he is
Speaker 1: preparing for a ground operation. Administration officials refused to rule
Speaker 1: out occupying or blockading Iran's Carg Island, which handles about
Speaker 1: ninety percent of Iran's oil exports. So this is one
Speaker 1: of the locations I saw three that the media keeps
Speaker 1: talking about. Carg Island is first on the list, and
Speaker 1: there's two other spots that are viable. I don't think
Speaker 1: that that is where they will be sent. I'm just
Speaker 1: being honest with you. I think of all the places,
Speaker 1: there's a better spot, best bang for bucks, so to speak.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so who are the army and marine troops
Speaker 1: being sent to Iran? The thirty first MEW, which is
Speaker 1: twenty two undred marines aboard, the USS Tripley Amphibious Ready Group,
Speaker 1: and the USS Boxer and the USS New Orleans are
Speaker 1: due to arrive in the middle East within days. A
Speaker 1: third amphibious group ship, the USS San Diego, remained at
Speaker 1: its base in Okinawa, Japan. UH Marine, I'm sorry. March
Speaker 1: eighteenth and nineteenth, eleventh MEW. The eleventh MEW, which is
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred marines and sailors, left the naval based
Speaker 1: San Diego aboard the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, the
Speaker 1: DOC Landing ship USS Comstock, and the Amphibious Transport DOC
Speaker 1: USS Portland on March eighteenth and nineteenth. They're expected to
Speaker 1: arrive in the Release in mid April. The unit is
Speaker 1: based out in Camp Pendleton, California, near San Diego. So
Speaker 1: for MEWS, anybody who doesn't know MEWS are they stand
Speaker 1: for Marine Expeditionary Unit. Okay. They are fast moving seaborne
Speaker 1: units capable of responding to crisises ranging from embassy reinforcements
Speaker 1: to evacuations, to amphibious raids to humanitarian relief. They're designed
Speaker 1: to be a self sustaining for about fifteen days of operation. So,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to spend too much time on
Speaker 1: this when I've talked about it before, the Marine Corps
Speaker 1: does not need congressional approval to go and do shit right.
Speaker 1: The Marines are the only branch of the military as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, that can be sent in in
Speaker 1: a moment's notice and then just for whatever reason, whether
Speaker 1: that's a typhoon just hit an area and we need
Speaker 1: help whatever, All right, well, hey we have a MEW
Speaker 1: in the area. We'll send some Marines to come help
Speaker 1: and aid in whatever or something combat related. So the military,
Speaker 1: the United States Military has mews circulating the globe at
Speaker 1: any point in time three in particular, right, and they're
Speaker 1: pretty much always out. They're always out and about. There's
Speaker 1: like six month rotations. You go on, you know, a
Speaker 1: four month MEW. You're back in America for a few months.
Speaker 1: They cycle with different units out they get to cross
Speaker 1: train with other units and other groups of our allies.
Speaker 1: A lot of my dudes that I worked with would
Speaker 1: go to like Romania to do some cross training. They
Speaker 1: would go to South Korea and cross train with the
Speaker 1: Korean Marines or the Indonesians or the Philippines or whatever
Speaker 1: the case. So this is nothing new that a MEW
Speaker 1: is inbound when something sounds like it's about to pop off.
Speaker 1: That is very very normal standard operating procedure. But the
Speaker 1: media what have you believe that this is unprecedented, just
Speaker 1: throwing that out. So anyway, right here on this map
Speaker 1: we have the US presence in the Middle East. The
Speaker 1: red is US control bases, and the orange are sites
Speaker 1: with a US military presence. This is all over the
Speaker 1: Middle East, y'all. Yemen doesn't have any, of course, but
Speaker 1: this is the spot right here. Ethiopia or that's Jibouti,
Speaker 1: excuse me, Egypt's got a spot, Kuwait's got spots, this
Speaker 1: one here around the Gulf of Aman, the Persian Gulf,
Speaker 1: all of this, this is the straight of Horn Moves
Speaker 1: where everybody's losing their shit because Iran shut it down, right,
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of military presence here. And
Speaker 1: this is also worth noting that these are spots that
Speaker 1: the Iranians tried bombing whenever Saudi started taking rounds or
Speaker 1: Qatar and the UAE and all of that. This is
Speaker 1: why they weren't trying to hit Kataris. They weren't trying
Speaker 1: to hit Saudi's they were trying to hit our bases
Speaker 1: in these countries just were all clear. Moving on. So
Speaker 1: March twenty fifth today as a time of recording the
Speaker 1: eighty second Airborne Division. About two thousand paratroopers of the
Speaker 1: US Army's eighty second Airborne Division we talked about. The
Speaker 1: first brigade combat team will be sent to the Middle East,
Speaker 1: multiple news sources reported March twenty fifth, though the reported
Speaker 1: number of airborne troops deployed vary from one thousand and
Speaker 1: two thousand. They will come from its immediate response for US,
Speaker 1: the IRF, which is able to mobilize anywhere in the
Speaker 1: world within eighteen hours according to Stars and Strips Pipes.
Speaker 1: Brigade combat teams are trained and equipped to deploy overseas
Speaker 1: quickly and conduct parachute assaults or to enter territory by force.
Speaker 1: The eighty second AIRBORNEES unit, some of which used to
Speaker 1: be a part of the five zero fourth Parachute Infantry Regiment,
Speaker 1: is nicknamed the Devils in Baggy Pants, according to the Army,
Speaker 1: a name given by the Nazi forces in World War Two,
Speaker 1: so anyway, the division is known as the Army's Emergency
Speaker 1: Response Team. It specializes in joint force ability entry operations
Speaker 1: and high stakes missions to seize military hostile areas. Is
Speaker 1: based in Fort Bragg, formerly Fort Liberty and then formerly
Speaker 1: Fort Bragg, again in North Carolina. So that's what we
Speaker 1: have going on here. The eighty second Airborne is imbound,
Speaker 1: which is interesting in and of itself here, and I
Speaker 1: think it's also interesting that the US Army raises its
Speaker 1: enlistment aged to forty two and eases marijuana policies to
Speaker 1: bolster ranks. Yeah, this is as much as I want
Speaker 1: to say that this is not a guarantee that we're
Speaker 1: going to war, it sure is shaping up that we're
Speaker 1: going to war. And it's very possible, it's very possible
Speaker 1: that all of this is a part of the plan
Speaker 1: to make it look some type of way to make
Speaker 1: Iroan capitulate. That being said, shifting the enlistment age to
Speaker 1: forty two, that's fucking wild. I thought it was crazy
Speaker 1: when they raised it to thirty four. And that's a
Speaker 1: big jump. It's a big jump, Sam, I see your hand.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 2: So, as we all know, I am a very avid
Speaker 2: love of the blessed. For sure, I can understand because
Speaker 2: like as a coach, as a society, and as a culture,
Speaker 2: we have went.
Speaker 5: Away from like it's a gately drug you're gonna burn
Speaker 5: and hair with YadA YadA bullshit. But I don't. I mean,
Speaker 5: the marijuana is a plant and everything.
Speaker 2: It has its uses, but I also don't believe that
Speaker 2: our soldiers, marines, and sailors and airman should use it.
Speaker 5: I mean it like I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, we have a Medal of Honor recipient that did
Speaker 1: his heroic deeds high as a kite in Vietnam.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, which is fucking phenomenal.
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is like.
Speaker 2: We like in a combat situation, like yeah, sure, if
Speaker 2: they want to do an off duty yes, or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't give a lot like drinking personally, there's a
Speaker 2: whole like.
Speaker 1: The I make.
Speaker 2: The running joke is the marine calls a bunch of
Speaker 2: alcoholic the most athletic alcoholics you'll ever see. But even
Speaker 2: with that, I think personally the alcohol is a lot
Speaker 2: worse than marijuana. But yet, Pete, we got actual like
Speaker 2: there are some duty stations and some outfits you're not even.
Speaker 5: Allowed to have tobacco in.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can't even have the regular tobacco, the
Speaker 2: fuck are they gonna do if you have to? Becky
Speaker 2: and I know a guy who got a diss on
Speaker 2: him discharge because he had he got a contact high
Speaker 2: and like the dude doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he
Speaker 2: thinks all of that's bullshit. He got a contact high
Speaker 2: from his brother what and he got fucked.
Speaker 1: Dude, getting a contact high is so difficult to accomplish,
Speaker 1: Like unless you're sitting there as they're hot boxing a
Speaker 1: car and you're just sitting there like that's that's a
Speaker 1: wild thing.
Speaker 5: I understand what you're saying. I boy, I know a
Speaker 5: motherfucker like my cousin.
Speaker 2: He got when he got out of jail and everything
Speaker 2: I had, I was smoking blunt. He was sitting next
Speaker 2: to me. Dude did not touch anything the entire like
Speaker 2: three years he was locked up. That motherfucker. I look
Speaker 2: across the table, he never touched it or anything. His
Speaker 2: eyes were better than mine. Fair, So it's fucking possible.
Speaker 1: Dog, Well, I mean with the amount of you smoke,
Speaker 1: I guess it's possible to get a contact high from
Speaker 1: being in your presence. This is true.
Speaker 11: This is true.
Speaker 14: I'm pretty sure if.
Speaker 2: People can get a contact high, even if I'm not smoking.
Speaker 1: Just being around you, your am Beyonce, does it?
Speaker 2: Dog, I am one hundred probably infused. I am the
Speaker 2: spirit animal after all, It just it's the vibe I
Speaker 2: give it off, and people just they get that THHC loving's.
Speaker 1: Although I should mention also the change takes effect for
Speaker 1: twenty The change in the marijuana policy takes effect on
Speaker 1: April twentieth, alongside of new rule dropping restrictions for recruits
Speaker 1: with a single marijuana possession conviction. So it's not like
Speaker 1: they're reducing it to where you can use marijuana. They're
Speaker 1: saying that if you have a single marijuana conviction on
Speaker 1: your record, they're going to just not look at it.
Speaker 5: I mean, didn't they also do that doing.
Speaker 2: The right after nin evan into when we went on
Speaker 2: the Global War on Terror, which technically has the g
Speaker 2: WATT even ended.
Speaker 5: Aren't we still.
Speaker 1: At war on terror? No? No, no, no, dude. There's
Speaker 1: Marines that are coming out of boot camp with fucking
Speaker 1: blank chests, not even in National Service Defense Medal because
Speaker 1: we're technically not at war.
Speaker 2: Haven't that? The only thing I have on there besides
Speaker 2: Biffle Expert was the National Defense Living So I can't
Speaker 2: say anything, but I want at least I want MIMS.
Speaker 2: When I went in before I got hurt and everything,
Speaker 2: I was supposed to be a combat engineer. I wanted
Speaker 2: to go play with the boom booms. I wanted I
Speaker 2: wanted to play with the IDs.
Speaker 1: But my point is no, technically, well maybe now, but
Speaker 1: as of three months ago, no, you had dudes coming
Speaker 1: out of boot camp that had nothing on their chest
Speaker 1: because we weren't at war. The global War on terrorism
Speaker 1: had ended in all the things. So yeah, and we're
Speaker 1: going to talk more about it in this article as
Speaker 1: far as what they're restricting and the age jumping, all
Speaker 1: these things, But Norse Trucker, what you got.
Speaker 15: I'm slightly thinking that they're trying to bring back all
Speaker 15: the old boys from the two thousands.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that's possible as well.
Speaker 15: Maybe maybe they fellas that actually had ray, Maybe they'll
Speaker 15: give them back that ran right, And maybe if they
Speaker 15: do have a little bit of a drug church, they'll
Speaker 15: be like, okay, well maybe that's from your PTSD, right.
Speaker 14: And then and then on top of that, they.
Speaker 16: Might just be like, okay, well we need ranks, right,
Speaker 16: So either you get recruited right, and then you keep
Speaker 16: your rank when you lack.
Speaker 14: And yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would have to sweepen the pod a whole
Speaker 1: lot to most of the dudes that I know that
Speaker 1: got out and or retired or whatever else, unless that
Speaker 1: pay quadruples instantly. Yeah, and it's even still, dude, there's
Speaker 1: no way, there's no fucking way that. Like, even me
Speaker 1: as a thirty three year old, if I was to
Speaker 1: try to reenlist right now, there's no fucking way. And
Speaker 1: if I was to join up, I think i'd probably
Speaker 1: be at a sergeant, right I was, I got I
Speaker 1: was a corporal at with time and everything, I'd probably
Speaker 1: be a sergeant. There is no fucking way that I
Speaker 1: would be taking orders from a twenty six year old
Speaker 1: staff sergeant. I'm sorry, there's no fucking way. And most
Speaker 1: of the dudes that got out would say the exact
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, that's why I'm thinking that they would give
Speaker 16: back their rank or one higher or make them visit enlisted.
Speaker 14: That's where you have a contract kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is just for the enlistment ranks. Officers, that's
Speaker 1: a whole another that's a commission versus an enlistments. So
Speaker 1: they got their own, they got their own you know,
Speaker 1: specialties and shit like that. But for enlistments, you basically
Speaker 1: sign away four years or six years of your life.
Speaker 14: Oh okay, good, Yeah, I don't know that, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy to me. But I also have said
Speaker 1: this since before before this whole ran thing went on,
Speaker 1: we started seeing recruitment commercials going on television, on YouTube
Speaker 1: and all this, and specifically you saw white dudes that
Speaker 1: were like and specifically white dudes were being shown on
Speaker 1: camera in these commercials. That's typically a telltale sign in
Speaker 1: America where like, you know what, We're probably about to
Speaker 1: go to war. I'm just throwing it out. Also, EMO
Speaker 1: is back, the housing market is down. These are all
Speaker 1: very clear indications that we're about to go to war
Speaker 1: if nine eleven.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well that that's like.
Speaker 15: Here in Canada, we're actually seeing a lot of recruitment too.
Speaker 14: So yeah, a lot of videos which we could be
Speaker 14: we could be going to war.
Speaker 1: It's possible. I'm not saying it's to guarantee, but it's
Speaker 1: very possible. And also it could all be a ploy
Speaker 1: to bolster our numbers, to make Iran think twice about continuing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I could I could see it being
Speaker 1: like that right look over here, not over here, the
Speaker 1: art of the deal kind of thing. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that I'm bought in on the whole. Oh, it's trump.
Speaker 1: You all gotta trust the process. I'm not saying that.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that there's always an angle to work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Raven Lee, what is your thoughts on this? Oh?
Speaker 9: I was just gonna tell Sam that I was with
Speaker 9: the combat I was with them ESB units or ESB.
Speaker 11: I was with ninth ESB.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I played with boom booms and yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a it was a good time. If you, well,
Speaker 1: you were in after me, so you wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: with me. But yeah, I got to play with some
Speaker 1: boom boom one time. Uh, through a weird chain of events.
Speaker 1: And this was when I was at SI. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, they needed roaduards for uh. I think
Speaker 1: it's the fifty ones that the assaultmans, and so they
Speaker 1: were doing their range where they were making like Bengalore
Speaker 1: torpedoes and shape charges and homemade claym wars. Right, if
Speaker 1: you know, in a pinch, if you can't find a
Speaker 1: clay more, you could take like an old m box,
Speaker 1: fill it with C four and then use like old
Speaker 1: spent shells as your fragments and stuff. And so me
Speaker 1: and my Buddy Wild's just happened to be chosen to
Speaker 1: be the road guards on this, which way, why not
Speaker 1: while we're out there, they're like, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: fuck with C four and we're like yeah, And it
Speaker 1: was that was the old C four. It was like
Speaker 1: a bar of soap, which, if you don't know, C
Speaker 1: four is not supposed to be dry and like a
Speaker 1: bar of soap. It's supposed to have like a little
Speaker 1: layer of glycerin on it and have like a little
Speaker 1: bit of some like Plato, maybe not as soft as Plato,
Speaker 1: but you're supposed to be able to mold it. This
Speaker 1: shit we had to like compact into the AMOCM, had
Speaker 1: to get all the air out of it, we had
Speaker 1: to find stuff to tamp it down, all these things,
Speaker 1: and then we got to no, no, this was definitely
Speaker 1: C four. I know because I was no, not comm
Speaker 1: b I remember because we had to cut the paper
Speaker 1: off of these bricks and it was definitely C four.
Speaker 1: But this was C four. That was like probably in
Speaker 1: the fucking in the room since Nam, which is why
Speaker 1: I was so dried out. But I mean, you would
Speaker 1: use that for training, makes sense.
Speaker 2: And they still have C three in Vietnam, because I
Speaker 2: know that you can actually cook on C four.
Speaker 5: You can actually set C four and five.
Speaker 2: Only thing that it takes for C four to go
Speaker 2: off is an electrical charge. But I know that C
Speaker 2: three that that if.
Speaker 5: You got too cold or too hot and.
Speaker 2: Everything it would be it would be rendered pretty much useless.
Speaker 2: And it's brittle like about about like that. It's like
Speaker 2: really fucking brittle.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 2: C three is anyway, So.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of C three. I will say that
Speaker 1: C four. You've ever seen a movie where like a
Speaker 1: cell phone can make C four go off? That is inaccurate.
Speaker 1: Electical charge does not do that for that. You need uh,
Speaker 1: an ignition source, any compression so for instance, and I
Speaker 1: do not know if this is true or not. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is just what I heard. So in Korea and
Speaker 1: in Vietnavi, well Korea specifically at the frozen shows, and
Speaker 1: they were burning their C four because it is glacering base.
Speaker 1: It slowly burns and you can use it as a
Speaker 1: heat and source, cook food over it, all the stuff
Speaker 1: and it won't blow up. What you need is to
Speaker 1: compact it and give it an ignition source, which is
Speaker 1: why they were using debt cord, and I got to
Speaker 1: learn how to tie a specific knot that if you
Speaker 1: the correct way, it basically acts like an improvised blasting cap.
Speaker 1: And so we made a Bangalore torpedo, which, for those
Speaker 1: that don't know, Bengalore torpedoes basically a pipe bomb homemade
Speaker 1: so to speak. And you take to the type of
Speaker 1: rails that you would use in like like traffic signs,
Speaker 1: like a stop sign, right, the metal thing that the
Speaker 1: stop sign is on, not a round pole, but like
Speaker 1: that little corrugated steel thing. You take two of those
Speaker 1: and you fill them.
Speaker 2: Full full full full of C four.
Speaker 1: And you send a line of debt cord in about
Speaker 1: every ten inches or so. You tie one of these
Speaker 1: knots in the debt cord that acts as a blasting cap,
Speaker 1: and you can make your own homemade pipe bomb essentially.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole the whole static charge and stuff
Speaker 1: setting it off, like the conditions is that have to
Speaker 1: be ridiculously right to set off whatever component unless you're
Speaker 1: using like a blasting cap with some sort of a
Speaker 1: radio detonator. Maybe a frequency or something could set that off.
Speaker 1: But for what we were doing, no, they were using
Speaker 1: like the pole. It was like a sparky essentially, it
Speaker 1: would it would make sparks as soon as you pulled
Speaker 1: the fuse and would light the deck cord. But it
Speaker 1: was cool. I enjoyed it, And yeah, I felt bad
Speaker 1: for the fifty ones though, because on this range they
Speaker 1: were within like ten feet of these bombs that they
Speaker 1: made going off, and they couldn't shield themselves behind anything
Speaker 1: other than a kevlar sheet, so that they needed to
Speaker 1: feel the concussive force. All of them came back fucking
Speaker 1: all disoriented and puking and shit. Meanwhile, me and my
Speaker 1: boy Wilds were like at the end of the road
Speaker 1: and we heard the bombs going off. Were's like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: that's wild. Then we saw pictures like straight up they
Speaker 1: just hailed up a kevlar sheet, which is like a blanket,
Speaker 1: and that was their protection from the bomb they just made.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, y'all are out of your fucking minds, dude,
Speaker 1: But but these are very very important dudes when breaching
Speaker 1: buildings and things. Really cool anyway.
Speaker 2: Oh, Jacob, just so you know that, so C three
Speaker 2: is composition C three. It's a nineteen forty's ara plastic explosive.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna give the percentage of the mixture because
Speaker 2: we ain't doing that, all right.
Speaker 1: So C three was World War Two basically.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It was a putty like material super for uh demolition.
Speaker 5: What the it was a minable plastic.
Speaker 17: But it was.
Speaker 2: It was very effectively impacting irregular shapes.
Speaker 9: But it was uh.
Speaker 5: Favored out it was.
Speaker 2: It was out favored by the C four because it,
Speaker 2: like I said, it would get when it gets too cold,
Speaker 2: it would become brittle and pretty much crump on your
Speaker 2: hand and be and be rendered useless or forget. I
Speaker 2: want to say, if it got really really fucking what
Speaker 2: it also became really tricky to you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you gotta be.
Speaker 2: I'm just happy to got C four now, which when
Speaker 2: I was in high school went on to his uh
Speaker 2: the uh down in Columbus. Uh, I can't remember what's
Speaker 2: thet brag. Yeah, I want to say it's Fort Bragg,
Speaker 2: the one in uh North Carolina. Which one is in uh? Uh?
Speaker 2: I think it just got renamed. It's uh, it's in Columbus, Georgia. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it's like right up net by the Alabama state line
Speaker 2: or anywhere.
Speaker 1: Uh, somebody where the airborne schools and starts with the be.
Speaker 2: Uh ship it was it was named after the Confederate general.
Speaker 1: Now I'm drawing a blank uh.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to say it was named after
Speaker 2: Forrest anyway. Anyway, we that's actually where I fell in
Speaker 2: love with the h the combat engineers. We saw them
Speaker 2: a bunch of like on the helicopter to deployed down
Speaker 2: and everything, and dude dropped a thing, dropped the explosive
Speaker 2: into the big ass pond lake thing, and when it did,
Speaker 2: they picked up and flew off and it went boom
Speaker 2: and it couldn't keep by surprise, and it was like
Speaker 2: a very big like it was underwater, so it just
Speaker 2: set the water up and it made it made me giddy,
Speaker 2: like the little school goling. Ever since then, I've always
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to combat engineer.
Speaker 1: Explosions are fun.
Speaker 2: They are the pipe bombs around here we call those
Speaker 2: tree stump removies.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. But yeah, so all
Speaker 1: of these things are gonna be going down allegedly in Iran.
Speaker 1: So getting back to it, I don't know what this
Speaker 1: looks like. You are we actually going to war? Are
Speaker 1: we gearing up for a World War three situation? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I will say that, Yes, the Army
Speaker 1: is raising its maximum recruitment age from thirty five to
Speaker 1: forty two, while also relaxing its rules for recruitment with
Speaker 1: certain drug convictions. The change is going to effect April twentieth,
Speaker 1: according to Army Regulation six ZHO one TACH two one zero,
Speaker 1: which was published March twentieth. So it's worth mentioning, right. So,
Speaker 1: in addition to the age requirement, the Army removed restrictions
Speaker 1: for recruits who have a single conviction for possession of
Speaker 1: marijuana or drug paraphernalia. Previously, such a conviction would have
Speaker 1: required a waiver from the Pentagon and the passing of
Speaker 1: a drug test. Currently, the Navy and the Air Force
Speaker 1: permit recruits permit recruits over the age of forty, but
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps maximum age for enlistment is twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Good good, the Marine Corps still keeping it at You know,
Speaker 1: when they say military aged males, they mean that specifically.
Speaker 1: So we'll see, as I'm saying that, watch next week
Speaker 1: the Marine Corps change its numbers or something. In the
Speaker 1: fiscal year twenty twenty five, the Army saw recruitment bump
Speaker 1: following several years of the climb. That year, the military
Speaker 1: branch recruited more than sixty two thousand people, surt passing
Speaker 1: its goal of sixty one thousand. According to the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, the army missed its recruitment goal
Speaker 1: by twenty five percent.
Speaker 10: Wow.
Speaker 1: So definitely more people are seeing the military as a
Speaker 1: viable option, and that's shown by the numbers here. So hey,
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning y'all as you're talking about going to
Speaker 1: war and all these things. So this is what I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about real quick. The War Powers Resolution
Speaker 1: of nineteen seventy three, which is what Trump is using
Speaker 1: to send these troops to Iran right now or to
Speaker 1: the Middle East. I want to say to iron, we
Speaker 1: don't know that for a fact. I want to speak
Speaker 1: out of turn towards the Middle East. So for anybody
Speaker 1: who is curious on it, Richard Nixon passed this and
Speaker 1: y'all are more than welcome to look into it on
Speaker 1: its specifics, but essentially the overrunder of it. The president
Speaker 1: can send military units into anywhere he sees fit for
Speaker 1: sixty days, with an additional guaranteed thirty days for a withdrawal.
Speaker 1: So essentially for ninety days, he can send troops anywhere
Speaker 1: he wants without congressional oversight or their permission or their
Speaker 1: knowledge or the whatever else. Okay, this is designed to
Speaker 1: limit the US president's ability to initiate or escalate military
Speaker 1: actions abroad. Essentially, is what this is. So when everybody
Speaker 1: saw him eye, he has no right to do this.
Speaker 1: He didn't get congressional approval, da da da. He doesn't
Speaker 1: need it as of this moment. He hasn't needed it
Speaker 1: at all up until this moment. And to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, if these troops happen to go chill in Dubai,
Speaker 1: throwing it out as an option, if all of the
Speaker 1: troops that he is sending to the Middle East go
Speaker 1: chilling Dubai, that's not going into some sort of a
Speaker 1: war front for the next sixty days. If we're going
Speaker 1: to really go into the loopholes here, which is what
Speaker 1: the political scheme is all about, the sixty day thing
Speaker 1: could start whenever he decides it starts, unless they actually
Speaker 1: are doing something against Iran proper. These ground troops, these
Speaker 1: ground troops are not going to be a part of
Speaker 1: the artillery strikes. They're not going to be a part
Speaker 1: of the bombing runs that are happening. If these troops
Speaker 1: chill there for six months, we still have not touched
Speaker 1: the war Powers resolution. If they then do an amphibious
Speaker 1: assault or an airdrop or something like that into Iran,
Speaker 1: that starts the sixty day mark. So we're all clear here,
Speaker 1: He's not about to get impeached or you know, any
Speaker 1: of these things for this, Just so we're all on
Speaker 1: the same page now. With that being said, Tucker Carlson,
Speaker 1: he gave this unhinged definition of what unconditional surrender means
Speaker 1: for Iran. This is the claim that has started so
Speaker 1: much controversy with Tucker Carlson aka Tucker Catarlson or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell you want to call him. He is out
Speaker 1: of his fucking mind on this one. And you'll see
Speaker 1: what I mean whenever I play this here. Uh. And
Speaker 1: keep in mind, Trump just gave them a fifteen point
Speaker 1: plan for peace and Iron said no. So with that
Speaker 1: in mind, this is what Tucker believes unconditional surrender means.
Speaker 1: Let me know what y'all think.
Speaker 18: Conditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife
Speaker 18: and daughter if they want. And everyone knows that.
Speaker 1: According to Tucker, unconditional surrender means that foreign troops get
Speaker 1: to rape your wife and daughter, and everyone knows that.
Speaker 1: According to him, that is a bold claim, that is
Speaker 1: a out of left field. You're out of your fucking
Speaker 1: mind if you think that that's how this works. One
Speaker 1: plus one equals five. Statement that is unhinged. Conservative media
Speaker 1: personality Tucker Carlson warrants that President Trump's demand for unconditional
Speaker 1: surrender from Iran could lead to grave consequences, including the
Speaker 1: outrageous claims that it would permit troops to rape women
Speaker 1: and girls.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell y'all, Tucker, he's not a person that
Speaker 1: we need to really be listening to as some sort
Speaker 1: of a source for real, legitimate, accurate information. I've felt
Speaker 1: this way for quite some time, ever since he had
Speaker 1: his interview with Putin, but even before that, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, but yeah, this shows his colors to
Speaker 1: a level that I don't think we can sidestep.
Speaker 18: Can feel that that's like the most atavistic instinct there is,
Speaker 18: and so to avoid that, people will do anything. And
Speaker 18: so that's why it requires that level of force to
Speaker 18: get a population subdued to the.
Speaker 13: Point of unconditional surrender. That's why.
Speaker 18: And so in this case, of course, we don't have
Speaker 18: the ground force necessary. I don't think Americans would voluntarily
Speaker 18: participaid in it. I just don't think we can do that.
Speaker 18: It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require
Speaker 18: presumably nuclear weapons in order to do that. And let's stop,
Speaker 18: let's not loud to ourselves. We're moving toward.
Speaker 1: That once again. Yes, we do have the force to
Speaker 1: do that if we so chose. No, it wouldn't require
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. That's preposterous. And no, unconditional surrender does not
Speaker 1: mean the troops get to rape the female population. He's
Speaker 1: out of his fucking mind, y'all, Tony, I see you, unmuted,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 11: Well, I disagree with you on this. I think he's
Speaker 11: right and unconditional surrender demands are wrong and we shouldn't
Speaker 11: make And luckily Trump did have those fifteen points, but
Speaker 11: I think they're designed to be rejected too. Sorry for
Speaker 11: the long pause.
Speaker 1: You believe that unconditional surrender means that the females all get.
Speaker 11: Raped, not literally all, not literally, but any yeah tons
Speaker 11: will yeah wait wait wait wait, I'm saying that happened
Speaker 11: in France. That happened. Happened in Germany. It happened may
Speaker 11: American troops, well somewhat more so by the Central Asian
Speaker 11: Soviet troops.
Speaker 1: But I can't I can't control the Soviets. Commedi's be
Speaker 1: doing comedy shit. But no, I don't think there's been
Speaker 1: a single war that America's gotten involved with where a
Speaker 1: nation surrendered and then we just went ham on their
Speaker 1: females against their will.
Speaker 11: Okay, I don't have any statistics off the top of
Speaker 11: my head, but anecdotally, you know, just depending who you
Speaker 11: listen to, maybe it's a lot, maybe it's a little.
Speaker 11: I have read the twenty five percent of the troops
Speaker 11: that went to Japan from the United States came back
Speaker 11: home with STDs. A lot of them were prostitutes. Probably
Speaker 11: not average girls and.
Speaker 1: Women, sure, but that makes sense.
Speaker 11: In some units it was over fifty percent. Yeah, this
Speaker 11: is a problem. Unconditional surrender is out of keeping with
Speaker 11: the true nitions of Christendom. That's why it was really controversial,
Speaker 11: and Ulysses Grant demanded it from the South, and when
Speaker 11: FDR demanded it at Casablanca in nineteen forty three, to
Speaker 11: my knowledge, Wilson never demanded it. But yeah, we shouldn't
Speaker 11: be demanding unconditional surrender. It's just the wrong thing to do.
Speaker 11: And I think luckily we're not. The whole fact that
Speaker 11: Trump has these fifteen points means that there's some you know,
Speaker 11: conditions or something he wants to make his a first
Speaker 11: stab at it. So you know, I'm glad. I don't
Speaker 11: perceive that we are demanding unconditional surrender, but we should not,
Speaker 11: and I think it is rightfully, I don't know perceived,
Speaker 11: as you know, your nation may be annihilated if you
Speaker 11: agree to this, and that was the main reason the
Speaker 11: Japanese wouldn't surrender, so.
Speaker 1: Again to push back. The Japanese didn't surrender because they
Speaker 1: believe that the Emperor was actual God on earth, and
Speaker 1: they were told by their media that the American troops
Speaker 1: were eating them. There's zero evidence that an American troop
Speaker 1: ever ate a Japanese civilian or soldier, and that's also
Speaker 1: confirmed by multiple eyewitnesses that spoke Japanese and could hear
Speaker 1: what the people were doing. These people were throwing their
Speaker 1: children off of cliffs rather than surrender themselves to Americans
Speaker 1: because they thought that a quick death was better than
Speaker 1: being roasted alive by the American troops. They were being
Speaker 1: told that by their media they did surrender unconditionally, And no,
Speaker 1: the American troops did not go on a raping spree
Speaker 1: of the Japanese population. Now, the Japanese did do a
Speaker 1: whole lot of raping in Nanking, right, There's other troops
Speaker 1: and other countries that have done this. And yeah, Americans
Speaker 1: come back with STDs because they go and bang a
Speaker 1: bunch of hookers. That's very normal. And then keeping with
Speaker 1: the tradition here, I'm not saying that's a positive by
Speaker 1: any means, but that happens. But hiring a hooker is
Speaker 1: a whole lot different than raping your wives and children.
Speaker 1: For that's that's out of the fucking what. That's crazy
Speaker 1: out loud Because even still, even with the unicorn like
Speaker 1: unconditional surrender, we as of service members still have the
Speaker 1: uniform Code of military justice that we have to adhere to.
Speaker 1: And in cases like in Vietnam, where you had service
Speaker 1: members that would go into villages and do some horrible shit,
Speaker 1: they were fucking handled and that was a big deal.
Speaker 1: A lot of that got done after the fact, and
Speaker 1: these dudes spent life in prison over this.
Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, anecdotally. I'm in no position to judge whether
Speaker 11: there was a lot or little. Some people claim there
Speaker 11: was a lot, some people claim there was not much.
Speaker 11: I'm not in a position to judge. One other thing
Speaker 11: about the unconditional surrendered demand of Japan was they really
Speaker 11: wanted to keep their emperor, and the singal they were
Speaker 11: getting from the US is that they were not going
Speaker 11: to be allowed to. But then the US just allowed
Speaker 11: them to keep their emperor anyway. So really I think
Speaker 11: that the unconditional surrender demand should not have been made
Speaker 11: in Japan would have surrendered a lot earlier.
Speaker 1: There's no chance they would have. The only reason they
Speaker 1: surrendered was because two nukes were dropped, and because they
Speaker 1: had one pilot that they got that said that we
Speaker 1: had hundreds of them.
Speaker 11: Well, Dwight Eisenhower said that he thought they were about
Speaker 11: to surrender without the nukes. And also what happened on
Speaker 11: August ninth, nineteen forty five, was that the Soviet Union
Speaker 11: broke their non aggression pact with Japan and declared war
Speaker 11: on Japan. Japan until that time had been holding out
Speaker 11: hope that the Soviet Union might be a neutral mediator
Speaker 11: between the US and Japan, and the coincidentally, the day
Speaker 11: of the second nuke, that was when the Soviet Union
Speaker 11: declared war on Japan, and that probably had about it.
Speaker 11: I definitely had a directional effect on incentivizing then to surrender.
Speaker 1: I had to dis last point too, the nukes. I
Speaker 1: have to vehemently disagree with you on this one, dude.
Speaker 1: The Soviet Union had no navy, so even if Russia
Speaker 1: had declared war on Japan, there was no way for
Speaker 1: them to get Russian troops to Japan. So what we
Speaker 1: do know for a fact is that Japan had their
Speaker 1: own nuclear program and they knew that. It was like,
Speaker 1: there was no way America actually had a nuke. Then
Speaker 1: they had the first bomb drop, and then you had
Speaker 1: this one general that was saying like, there's no way
Speaker 1: they have more than one because we know how close
Speaker 1: we are and we're still hitting these hurdles. There's no
Speaker 1: way we dropped a second one. Then we had this
Speaker 1: pilot who god, I forget his name. I just watched
Speaker 1: a video one as a matter of fact, who lied
Speaker 1: to them and said that we had hundreds of them,
Speaker 1: and as soon as they realized shit, they just dropped
Speaker 1: a second one. Okay, if they could possibly drop hundreds
Speaker 1: like we thought they didn't have one, they did. We
Speaker 1: thought they couldn't have more than one. They did. It's
Speaker 1: it's time to call it quits. The conversation saying that
Speaker 1: Russia had anything to do with japan surrendering is farcical
Speaker 1: at best.
Speaker 11: Dude, No, No, they definitely had a lot to do
Speaker 11: with it, and they have crushed the quant army in Manchuria.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: That's not mainland Japan. Dude, Manchuria was a that's a
Speaker 1: thing that they conquested that had nothing to do with mainland.
Speaker 11: I would submit to you that it actually did have
Speaker 11: a major effect because if if Russia was at war
Speaker 11: with Japan, there was actually a much bigger chance that
Speaker 11: Japan would lose their emperor because the Soviets were very
Speaker 11: anti monarchists, and if they were at war with Japan
Speaker 11: instead of a neutral mediator, I think that directionally definitely
Speaker 11: forced Japan to surrender.
Speaker 1: I see it as a non a non sequitor actually,
Speaker 1: like at all, I'm say, I'm way in here with
Speaker 1: your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, first, because my co has been going in
Speaker 2: and out, Japan still has the emperor. He's still a thing.
Speaker 2: He's a lot like the British crown. He's a figurehead.
Speaker 2: He's a spiritual leader in a way, because they do
Speaker 2: believe that his bloodline comes from the gods or whatever.
Speaker 2: And but I'll say this as the resonant Asian Japan,
Speaker 2: the people of my forefathers or whatever. Yeah, they have
Speaker 2: a thing called death before dishonor they actually to honor
Speaker 2: is so important that they stick to those and everything.
Speaker 2: Do you keep them mind? These This is the same
Speaker 2: people that when the first moons got on started doing
Speaker 2: the island hopping.
Speaker 5: They were on their babies from cliffs.
Speaker 2: They women were killing themselves, throwing them and their babies
Speaker 2: into fucking fires and ship. Yeah Japan, and when it
Speaker 2: was the Empire of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Yeah,
Speaker 2: cool that they were.
Speaker 5: They were brutal.
Speaker 2: Look what they did to the China, like to uh
Speaker 2: giant on who's who behead the most chentleman with the
Speaker 2: single like with hers slice on the head like that.
Speaker 2: There's videos of that, not videos. But so yeah, I
Speaker 2: believe that they would not It took both notes. Actually,
Speaker 2: we were gonna keep bombing them until they surrendered. We
Speaker 2: actually had a proposed third target, And the only reason
Speaker 2: why we didn't bomb Tokyo is because one of the
Speaker 2: the general time that was was where they were coordinating
Speaker 2: this shit. He and his wife just had that. They
Speaker 2: had their waiting it they got married there or they
Speaker 2: went there on their earth do men which one but
Speaker 2: they love?
Speaker 1: Oh Sam's Sam just cut out on us. I would
Speaker 1: have to agree, though, honestly, and even by the Japanese
Speaker 1: zone emission, Russia had nothing to do with them surrendering.
Speaker 1: They even said specifically it was because of the bombs
Speaker 1: that got dropped. So again, this is this all we're
Speaker 1: talking history instead of today. America is not asking for
Speaker 1: Iran to unconditionally surrender. They offered a fifteen point plan. Now,
Speaker 1: whether that was designed to you know, it was gonna
Speaker 1: be so preposterous that obviously Iran was gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: reject it outright or not, I don't know. I haven't
Speaker 1: looked at the fifteen point plan. What I am saying
Speaker 1: is that this could be over, This could have stopped,
Speaker 1: and I have a strange feeling that the political powers
Speaker 1: that are in Iron right now would probably still retain power.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that, like a condition of the surrender
Speaker 1: was that oh, what's his name, Old Dudent Bethesda, Maryland,
Speaker 1: the dethroned prince or whatever. I have a hard time
Speaker 1: believing that him we're regaining power or whatever was a
Speaker 1: part of the fifteen point plan. It was probably dismantling
Speaker 1: their you know, section of their military, dismantling the IRGC,
Speaker 1: shutting down their entire nuclear program. I could see these
Speaker 1: being points which I'm in favor of.
Speaker 11: One of them was getting rid of all their ballistic
Speaker 11: missiles for five years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's solid. I'm down with that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they're never going to agree to that. They should
Speaker 11: just keep firing those missiles.
Speaker 1: They're gonna they are absolutely gonna keep going at it.
Speaker 1: But that's and that's the point. I'm still not convinced,
Speaker 1: beyond any shadow of any doubt that we are about
Speaker 1: to start in all out war with Iran. It's it's
Speaker 1: very possible, and I'm not trying to like eat my
Speaker 1: words later here. I'm saying that I could see it
Speaker 1: going fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: We could be bolstering our numbers in the area as
Speaker 1: a flex to make Iran see you know, how cooler
Speaker 1: heads could prevail or we are absolutely staging everybody in
Speaker 1: order to launch an invasion. And that's also why they're
Speaker 1: trying to get the recruitment numbers up and all of
Speaker 1: these things. Also, I keep hearing this crazy talking point
Speaker 1: talking about how they're about to start a draft. No
Speaker 1: they're not, No, they're not. That's they learn their lesson
Speaker 1: in Vietnam about drafting people and sending people to war
Speaker 1: that truly don't want to go to war. That's not
Speaker 1: good for anybody. That's not good for the military. It's
Speaker 1: not good for the military industrial complex. That's not good
Speaker 1: for the society. That's not good for the culture. That's
Speaker 1: not how you win the hearts and minds of them
Speaker 1: or us. That's I'm not saying that a draft is
Speaker 1: never gonna happen again. I'm saying that Iran is not
Speaker 1: gonna to a draft. I'm just throwing that out right, Sam.
Speaker 1: I don't know what is up with your Internet, but
Speaker 1: you you got a little buggy there and then you
Speaker 1: cut out, and now right now you're like super you're
Speaker 1: super uh you know, jerky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went for my fault from the laptop to
Speaker 2: my phone. So hopefully this is working better. The I
Speaker 2: don't think even if they, our country will never do
Speaker 2: another draft. Yes, every man is legally required to sign
Speaker 2: up for the draft. It's called a selective service. But
Speaker 2: half the motherfuckers or fat asses, they don't know how
Speaker 2: to fucking walk out. They don't fucking have they they
Speaker 2: don't have the discipline, and they don't know how to
Speaker 2: fucking take orders without getting butt hurt. And I will
Speaker 2: say that there will always be those who rise up
Speaker 2: and understand duty duty to one's country, which I personally
Speaker 2: believe that I I personal believe it that there's no
Speaker 2: better calling than to some of your country and everything.
Speaker 2: I believe the best thing you can do is the
Speaker 2: one of the highest honors you have in as a
Speaker 2: man or as a fellow countryman. And when I say that,
Speaker 2: I mean warm into but is to give up your
Speaker 2: life for your country to set to bring forth, make
Speaker 2: sure that there is still a country for the next generation.
Speaker 1: But most Americans.
Speaker 2: Would you rather live on your means?
Speaker 11: Then?
Speaker 5: You know, I don't you know what they.
Speaker 2: Will get they.
Speaker 1: Actually, I gotta tell you, I wouldn't even be mad
Speaker 1: at Hey. We've talked about like forced conscription before. There
Speaker 1: are certain countries that do it with with varying results.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I am not in favor of
Speaker 1: forced conscription in the United States because with that you're
Speaker 1: going to get the cream of the crop and also
Speaker 1: the dregs of society and everything in between. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be mad, however, at state national guards, undeployable like non
Speaker 1: international deployable state national guards having some sort of a
Speaker 1: conscription service for those I think that actually would go
Speaker 1: a long way to better America as a whole. And
Speaker 1: I don't mean to make us a military police state
Speaker 1: or any of these things. I'm saying, like, how many
Speaker 1: natural disasters do we have at any given time, and
Speaker 1: you get national Guard troops from all these states to
Speaker 1: come in and help and all these things, like or
Speaker 1: we could just have all that in house already. You know.
Speaker 1: It's an unpopular opinion, I know, but there's pros and
Speaker 1: cons too, conscription, honestly, Tony, go ahead, Yeah, I.
Speaker 11: Got two things. First. I wanted to as a squeeze in,
Speaker 11: I predict that all of the US military bases within
Speaker 11: a couple hundred miles of Iran are going to be
Speaker 11: evacuated within the next two months. Let's revisit this in May. Secondly,
Speaker 11: I very much agree with everything you say about conscription
Speaker 11: and the draft. And this might sound weird, but I
Speaker 11: think I would actually be pro draft on accelerationist grounds.
Speaker 11: It would actually discredit the war effort faster.
Speaker 1: So I've heard some Actually I think it was it
Speaker 1: was Kent. As a matter of fact, he went on
Speaker 1: Sean Ryan and said the exact same thing. He didn't
Speaker 1: know that he believed. He just went on Sean Ryan.
Speaker 1: Was it just two or three days ago? And uh,
Speaker 1: the show was fucking phenomenal, I might add, but he uh,
Speaker 1: he said, actually he is in favor of the draft
Speaker 1: because that would turn the public opinion one way or
Speaker 1: another in a fucking heartbeat, and there would be it
Speaker 1: would accelerate the end result, whether that be okay, America
Speaker 1: now has a legit million members that are ready to
Speaker 1: go to war around your fucking move, or okay, the
Speaker 1: American public truly is not going to go down with this.
Speaker 1: We need to pull out now, like when lose draw whatever.
Speaker 1: It's gonna make it happen with a quickness. And Sean
Speaker 1: even said, like I had never actually considered that, and
Speaker 1: he's like, I mean, it's it's shit. Or get off
Speaker 1: the pot kind of situation.
Speaker 11: Yeah. In fact, I think Israel goes through this same
Speaker 11: exact process because they do have some kind of mandatory service.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a three year fource conscription.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it kind of forces. You know. They tried to
Speaker 11: invade Lebanon recently, and to my knowledge they've gotten pushed back,
Speaker 11: but it's still kind of flogged the war right there. Yeah,
Speaker 11: let's see, I had one other thing, but I'm blanking
Speaker 11: on it now. But yeah, let's go. Let's go with
Speaker 11: whatever you had next.
Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say that, like I do like that.
Speaker 1: Israel does that in one regard, but it's also about
Speaker 1: the size the population. The entire nation of Israel could
Speaker 1: be geared up, mobilized and ready for war in seventy
Speaker 1: two hours. It would take America years to accomplish this
Speaker 1: feat real shit. However, we got to keep in mind
Speaker 1: that Israel is like the size of New Jersey and
Speaker 1: they don't have We're talking very different populations, very different
Speaker 1: cultures here. So like you know, with some with some nuance,
Speaker 1: I understand that, but some sort of a conscription, even
Speaker 1: if it's at your local level, I think would actually
Speaker 1: go a long way to help this country.
Speaker 11: But you know, oh hey, I got a question for Sam. Sam.
Speaker 11: If you lived in nineteen thirties Japan or Germany, would
Speaker 11: you join the military. What would you do?
Speaker 1: Good question?
Speaker 2: Well, I do believe that. I mean, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: go off of how I see things now. I believe
Speaker 2: that you do want your duty to Want's country.
Speaker 5: Whether you do what you're told in you do.
Speaker 2: I believe that you should do with everything with a
Speaker 2: certain case of descendment. But you should also follow the
Speaker 2: orders of your leaders, whether that's windows or draw You
Speaker 2: got to protect your homeland.
Speaker 1: There's some nuance to that. And I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: the discredit Tony's question by any means if anything is
Speaker 1: in favor of it. So, the culture in Germany in
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties and forties was about protecting the fatherland, right.
Speaker 1: There was a revitalization of being proud to be German
Speaker 1: because they were. They were fucked over from the post
Speaker 1: war war on the Treaty of Versailles, right, and they
Speaker 1: were given war reparations that could never be paid real shit.
Speaker 2: There's no way I think they just stopped making payments
Speaker 2: for bullshit in World War.
Speaker 1: One, if they would have stuck to it, if World
Speaker 1: War II wouldn't have gotten them out of certain things,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be through paying the interest on the things
Speaker 1: that they had to pay, to be honest with, especially
Speaker 1: with the way inflation's gone. So at that time, in
Speaker 1: the thirties and forties, there was a massive, you know,
Speaker 1: German pride movement, regardless if you liked Hitler or not,
Speaker 1: regardless if you were a card carring member of the
Speaker 1: Nazi Party. Joining the military was a guaranteed job. You
Speaker 1: got training, you instilled pride and all these things, and
Speaker 1: it was seen as a very good thing. Japan same
Speaker 1: way at that time there was a well that too.
Speaker 1: But also you got to keep in mind what the
Speaker 1: culture looked like at this time. Japan for years was
Speaker 1: an isolest nation. They were under the Bashido code and
Speaker 1: all these things, the shogunate. Then you had the emperor
Speaker 1: that was industrializing the nation, and it was seen as
Speaker 1: a actual viable player on the world stage, not just militarily,
Speaker 1: but also on the industrial side of things. They were
Speaker 1: seen as an actual counterpart in so many regards. Joining
Speaker 1: the military at that time was seen as a very
Speaker 1: positive thing, regardless of if you liked the emperor, thought
Speaker 1: his politics were good, should we invade China. Whatever. If
Speaker 1: you were just your average average guy in Japan and
Speaker 1: you joined the military in the nineteen thirties and forties,
Speaker 1: you were looked at like, oh, man, you're doing you're
Speaker 1: doing good work. You're you're doing it for the country
Speaker 1: and all these things. So like to Tony's point, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like most of the young men would have
Speaker 1: felt very very honored and very honorable in doing so.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is also the culture that they weild
Speaker 2: their pilots in their planes with only the enough gas
Speaker 2: for one way to crash that bitch in. So you
Speaker 2: do it for the honor of your family, the honor
Speaker 2: of the Emperor, which they still see that some of
Speaker 2: them still believe he is God on earth, to the
Speaker 2: point it majority of his countrymen, the majority of his subjects,
Speaker 2: did not know what the Emperor sounded like until after
Speaker 2: until he gave that speech on the radio of him
Speaker 2: surrendering to the point that he did not actually speak
Speaker 2: the same dialect as them. He spoke an older dialect, right.
Speaker 2: And I don't get down with the whole holocaust bullshit,
Speaker 2: but I do have family from Germany, and if I
Speaker 2: was a German citizen at the time, I would probably
Speaker 2: be going hard against the.
Speaker 1: Soviets, which for the record, was more of Germany's kick, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they did their thing with the Jews and the Holocaust
Speaker 1: and all that, yes, but they hated the Soviets. That
Speaker 1: was like their big thing.
Speaker 2: It was who was a patent the tanker general right
Speaker 2: who said, we went to war with the wrong ones.
Speaker 2: We should have kept fighting and went straight to Moscow. Personally,
Speaker 2: I believe the dude was clear, we should have just
Speaker 2: went ahead and killed the fucking Ruskies and be done
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with that Communism should have been
Speaker 1: stopped in its tracks before it ever had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to take root in any nation, but specifically the one
Speaker 1: that was the big push in the Cold War. But
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Prior to World War Two, America and
Speaker 1: Russia were not really good friends. It was a legitimate
Speaker 1: enemy of my enemy. And let's not forget the Ribbon
Speaker 1: soft packed where the Nazis and the Soviets were in
Speaker 1: on the same team as they both invaded Poland at
Speaker 1: the same time. Then the Soviets went back on their word,
Speaker 1: and then they joined the Allied forces. Like that's something
Speaker 1: that a lot of people in history just kind of sidestep.
Speaker 1: But that's also why the Germans hated the Soviets so much,
Speaker 1: because they went back on their word. It had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the communist ideologies until they went back,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the Commedis were right
Speaker 1: there in the concentration camps next to the Jews and Gypsies.
Speaker 2: But keep in mind this is also the set like
Speaker 2: the fascists. I hate both fascism and communism.
Speaker 1: Basically they're basically the same thing.
Speaker 2: Also keep in mind that when Hitler rose to power,
Speaker 2: he used the socialists to do his dirty work, the
Speaker 2: brown Shirts and everything.
Speaker 5: So and.
Speaker 1: I mean the Nazi party is the National German Socialist Party.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the National German Socialist Workers Party. And which is funny,
Speaker 2: I've made that statement multiple times and everything during social
Speaker 2: studies and the politics were in high school, and I
Speaker 2: was called a Nazi, which was fucking hilarious because Mike,
Speaker 2: not really, but the fact that the the both the
Speaker 2: Germans and the the uh, the Russians, they were when
Speaker 2: you look down at it, they were the same guy
Speaker 2: damn thing. They both committed a genocide, but nobody ever
Speaker 2: wants to talk about the holdover the hold of mayor
Speaker 2: or I don't speak Russian. It's when they systematically, the
Speaker 2: Bolshivik systematically try to kill out all the Ukrainians.
Speaker 11: It's called the helloa more that's the one. And the
Speaker 11: word is Ukrainian because in Russian the word for hunger
Speaker 11: is glad, and then Ukrainian they turn all their g's
Speaker 11: into hs, so that's where that word comes from. Gulag
Speaker 11: is an acronym for uh glovna lagyirrier, which means the
Speaker 11: main directorate of camps Tony.
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 5: I got a question, Are you husky?
Speaker 11: No, I'm not Russian at all.
Speaker 1: I'm he has German in him, but yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 11: I'm a little more of a normy. I would say.
Speaker 11: You know, this is obviously a very morally charged question.
Speaker 11: Would you serve in the military of an access power
Speaker 11: in World War Two without hindsight bias? I think nobody
Speaker 11: can really be faulted, right with hindsight bias. You know,
Speaker 11: in the post Nuremberg world, you know the correct answer
Speaker 11: at least do enormy Maybe not to you guys and
Speaker 11: you guys are very broad minded, But the correct answer
Speaker 11: to a normy is no, you shouldn't serve them in
Speaker 11: a military that's doing bad things. And I think I
Speaker 11: wouldn't serve in those militaries personally, even though the Soviets
Speaker 11: were bad too. It's just would serve in the military
Speaker 11: today either.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing to say, like if you would
Speaker 1: serve in the Soviet military though, like most of the
Speaker 1: dudes in Russia, and aside from the conscription, joining the
Speaker 1: military seems like a way better option, even if you
Speaker 1: might go to combat then starving on a farm somewhere,
Speaker 1: Like I understand why certain countries, and even in our
Speaker 1: own country, certain dudes that I served with like they
Speaker 1: had nothing at home waiting on them when they got out.
Speaker 1: If they were lucky enough to have a family that
Speaker 1: owned a farm or their dad owned a business and
Speaker 1: they could kind of inherit it or whatever, then they
Speaker 1: were fine. And you know, people like me that are
Speaker 1: from a place where there's industry and you have jobs,
Speaker 1: and that's fine, But a lot of these dudes join
Speaker 1: not because of some sort of patriotic duty. They joined
Speaker 1: because it was a lot better than what they had
Speaker 1: going for them where they were from. You know, that's
Speaker 1: a conversation. So I agree with you, Tony. I think
Speaker 1: that in yeah, we have the hindsight bias here because,
Speaker 1: like we now know what the Nazis were up to,
Speaker 1: the majority of Germans, especially prior to the gas getting
Speaker 1: turned on at these camps, they had no fucking clue.
Speaker 1: They were just going along with the narrative. And Hitler was, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were so poor, they were so broken. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, now they had like food, and they had
Speaker 1: modern comforts, and they were like doing well again. So
Speaker 1: even if they didn't like everything he said, the guy
Speaker 1: got results, so people were following him in this regard.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, you know, they they should have
Speaker 1: known better, Like we were looking at this straight up
Speaker 1: armchair historian, damn, near one hundred years after the fact,
Speaker 1: So like I see that. But yeah, I would agree
Speaker 1: that most Germans would have felt proud to join the
Speaker 1: military during the nineteen thirties, and probably I could say
Speaker 1: the same for the Soviets.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, we like our leaders, loved the Nazi
Speaker 2: scientists so much they fucking gave him the NASA that
Speaker 2: they look one of von bon.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, dude, we've talked about a few Nazi scientists
Speaker 1: here recently. Hell, let's talk about the lime disease.
Speaker 2: Hell, let's talk about Joseph mangdalay how he?
Speaker 5: What's funny? Do y'all know the movie Human Centipede?
Speaker 1: Oh God? Why why? Sam?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 2: There's all it's it's very very very loosely based. It's
Speaker 2: it's loosely based on Mengel's human experimentations.
Speaker 13: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about them movie and so long.
Speaker 2: Which I say it throucie based, because the dude, Joseph
Speaker 2: Mingle Mangolo. However, the fuck you pronounce, I don't speak
Speaker 2: croud he he.
Speaker 5: He fucked around with little He fucked around with twins.
Speaker 2: He would inject like bleaching and ship into the into
Speaker 2: eyes to see if he could change the eye color.
Speaker 2: He he. He tortured twins to see if there is
Speaker 2: an actual telepathy thing through him. He also messed around
Speaker 2: with with the babies to see how those did to
Speaker 2: certain conditions. Hell, they did a human experiment where they
Speaker 2: were giving a mother and a and a child and
Speaker 2: start taking food away little by little. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: guess which one was sacrificed the child.
Speaker 1: The mom would always choose her own self preservation over
Speaker 1: her own child's life. That was I looked into that
Speaker 1: very heavily. As a matter of fact. How they buddy
Speaker 1: of mine who was taking psychology classes, and he was
Speaker 1: breaking it down for me. It's it's not even because
Speaker 1: the mom doesn't love her kid more than her or anything.
Speaker 1: When you go into that level of survival, the mother
Speaker 1: would every time choose to eat all the food rather
Speaker 1: than let her kid have a bite. That was that
Speaker 1: would happen.
Speaker 2: Which is fucked up. And I you would think maternal instincts,
Speaker 2: like the instincts of a parent to a child, would
Speaker 2: we must protect them, You would.
Speaker 1: Think so, But self preservation trump's maternal instincts.
Speaker 2: Is that why buds the little fuckers out though nest
Speaker 2: if they think there's something else.
Speaker 11: No, that's different, that's well if your mom, I mean,
Speaker 11: you can make more babies later. I think that's the truth.
Speaker 11: And even older historians have mentioned this. Whenever a culture
Speaker 11: encounters starvation, this is written down in I forget the
Speaker 11: exact source, but in the tenth century catastrophe in Europe,
Speaker 11: when there was a famine, it was written that mothers
Speaker 11: would do it back then too. Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: It's it's a very cold truth, but it is a
Speaker 1: truth nonetheless that when putting those situations, this is how
Speaker 1: that plays out.
Speaker 11: But anyway, or if you die, your kid dies anyway, So.
Speaker 1: It's basically yeah, And I mean keep in mind, throughout
Speaker 1: the course of human history, if you had nine kids,
Speaker 1: maybe five of them would live to adulthood. That was
Speaker 1: that was the way for most cultures for the rest
Speaker 1: for the majority of time.
Speaker 2: Honestly, my papa was the baby of sixteen.
Speaker 1: And how many of them lived to adulthood?
Speaker 2: Uh, those sixteen that we count were the ones that
Speaker 2: made it, or four others were still worn and who
Speaker 2: didn't make it past a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Damn. They clearly did not have TV or radio because
Speaker 1: my god, anyway, a new hobby, so I guess anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, So getting back to the conversation here about
Speaker 1: the Iran thing. I don't think unconditional surrenders in the
Speaker 1: cards here. But Okay, a couple of things I wanted
Speaker 1: to bring up from last week, and then I got
Speaker 1: a couple of things I wanted to round this episode
Speaker 1: off with. So last week, Zelenski had said that Russia
Speaker 1: had already earned back ten billion dollars of its twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six deficit in two weeks of the Iran war.
Speaker 1: I think that there's something to be said for this one,
Speaker 1: and I'm not exactly a huge fan of Zelensky might
Speaker 1: want to mention that, but It's clawed back about ten
Speaker 1: percent of its twenty twenty six oil trade deficit this
Speaker 1: month because of the situation with Iran. Two weeks of
Speaker 1: war in the Middle East earned Moscow about ten billion dollars,
Speaker 1: citing Ukrainian intel Take that for what it's worth. The
Speaker 1: Trump administration is also easing sanctions on Russian oil for
Speaker 1: about four weeks, so I think there's something to be
Speaker 1: said for this. Now that people can't buy the Iranian oil,
Speaker 1: more countries are willing to buy Russian oil, So it
Speaker 1: stands to reason. Zelenski wrote that you any intelligence reports
Speaker 1: indicate that global oil sanctions on Kiev strikes on Russia
Speaker 1: energy infrastructure had pushed Moscow's deficit for twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: to over one hundred billion direct quote. Now we see
Speaker 1: they have made around ten billion over two weeks of
Speaker 1: the war in the Middle East. This is really dangerous
Speaker 1: it gives putin more confidence that he can continue the war,
Speaker 1: which I wanted to get Tony's opinion on this one.
Speaker 1: You were saying for a while that you thought, by
Speaker 1: Marx this was going to end. Now. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you are of the opinion that the Iranian situation
Speaker 1: is going to prolong or shorten, or has no effect
Speaker 1: on the Russia Ukraine situation. But what is your take?
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, you know, I was gonna joke. We still
Speaker 11: got a few days left.
Speaker 1: We do.
Speaker 11: But by the way, Happy Day of the Annunciation. It's
Speaker 11: exactly nine months before Christmas today, So this is the
Speaker 11: day Mary got pregnant. Hey, he guess used to also
Speaker 11: be considered New Year's Day in jolly old England. Anyway,
Speaker 11: back to Russia, I think the Iran situation will accelerate
Speaker 11: the end of the Ukraine War because US support for Iran,
Speaker 11: I mean sorry, Israel is going to come at the
Speaker 11: cost of US support for other locations in the world,
Speaker 11: including Ukraine and South Korea for example. So this will
Speaker 11: accelerate the end of the Russia Ukraine War. It's strengthening Russia,
Speaker 11: it's weakening Ukraine's military. I think this can only accelerate
Speaker 11: the inevitable end of the war with Russian annexation of
Speaker 11: the territory they've already got, plus maybe a little more.
Speaker 11: And I mean, I don't know. If I had to
Speaker 11: put another deadline on it, I would say within six months.
Speaker 11: I know that's kind of arbitrary, but September.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, possibly possibly by September. We shall see. But
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely can't disagree with what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about what we're currently doing to
Speaker 1: help Ukraine because of everything that's going on in Iran
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know if Ukraine is even able
Speaker 1: to like stand their own without our support at this
Speaker 1: point because most of the drones that are the preliminary force.
Speaker 1: As far as Ukraine Russia situation is going, Ukraine's producing
Speaker 1: most of their own drones right now. And as far
Speaker 1: as the Europeans and the eighth that they would have
Speaker 1: been leaning or giving to Ukraine, that's now actually going
Speaker 1: towards a that's going more towards Israel and Iran right now.
Speaker 1: More specifically, and I thought this would be interesting to
Speaker 1: bring up Volkswagen. The Volkswagen car manufacturing facility is now
Speaker 1: going to start producing parts for Israel's iron dome. This
Speaker 1: is a weird This is a weird karmcmoment. Y'all. Volkswagen,
Speaker 1: which was a Nazi car company, is now going to
Speaker 1: start making missiles for Israel. Like let that let that
Speaker 1: Let that one simmer for a minute, just just take
Speaker 1: a second and really he let that one weigh in
Speaker 1: on the brain. Here, this is real life, this is
Speaker 1: from your own news. Volkswagen is reportedly in talks with
Speaker 1: Israeli defense company Raphael Advanced Defense Systems about potentially converting
Speaker 1: VW's Onzerbruk plants currently threatened with closure to producing defense
Speaker 1: adjacent parts. So Volkswagen's got this facility, it's not making
Speaker 1: the money anymore. It's not physically responsible for them to
Speaker 1: keep it open. They're talking about layoffs, they're talking about
Speaker 1: shutting it down, or they could just kind of repurpose
Speaker 1: some of their machinery and they're gonna start making missile
Speaker 1: parts for Israel, which to that point, they had the
Speaker 1: ability to use this to make missile parts for Ukraine
Speaker 1: this whole time. They could have done that, but Ukraine
Speaker 1: ain't got the money to throw like Israel does. So
Speaker 1: now the former Nazi car company is gonna start making
Speaker 1: missiles for the Jews. This is just the irony, y'all.
Speaker 1: The irony is so heavy. Can you taste it? It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I just thought that'd be a fun one to bring
Speaker 1: up here. Anyway. Now, let's talk about some things from
Speaker 1: around the world. The government is declaring emergency energy policies
Speaker 1: in response to the Iran War. Governments and companies sounding
Speaker 1: the alarms about the energy market disruptions due to the
Speaker 1: Iran War. The Philippines declared a national energy emergency yesterday.
Speaker 1: The CEO of United Airlines said it could hike fares
Speaker 1: by twenty percent if high jet fuel prices persists. Through
Speaker 1: oil importing, Asia faces most of the severe energy strains.
Speaker 1: The new data this week was pointing to slowing businesses
Speaker 1: activities in the United States, to Eurozone and the United Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Suggests the war is affecting economies worldwide. Average US prices
Speaker 1: at the pump are a regular gasoline have risen one
Speaker 1: dollar over the past month to three ninety eight per gallon.
Speaker 1: So I actually just filled up it was three sixty four.
Speaker 1: I'm not fucking happy about it. And we have heard
Speaker 1: the Project Mockingberg going ham, I can't tell you how
Speaker 1: many legit that we've found. They've got these people that
Speaker 1: have compiled these videos. We're gonna have short term pains
Speaker 1: for long term gains. That is, that sentence has permeated
Speaker 1: every fucking news channel in the United States over the
Speaker 1: past two weeks. It's insane. Can't Norse Trucker tell us
Speaker 1: what's going on in Canada.
Speaker 14: Dude, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 16: Diesels at two dollars and five cents a leader up here?
Speaker 14: A leader? A leader?
Speaker 1: How much is it? Usually I barely know the conversion
Speaker 1: between leaders and gallons.
Speaker 15: It's usually a couple of years ago it would be
Speaker 15: a dollar fifty.
Speaker 1: Okay, right right now.
Speaker 15: Regular is actually at a dollar seventy three point nine
Speaker 15: a leader.
Speaker 1: So in Australia, I pulled this arc up. Australia's got
Speaker 1: five dollars per gallon of diesel.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that sounds about right.
Speaker 1: That's fucking in.
Speaker 15: Yeah, ours would be right around that six dollars mark
Speaker 15: right now.
Speaker 1: That sucks, which means we as a world should expect
Speaker 1: the prices on all of our goods that are delivered
Speaker 1: by trucks, which is you know, fucking all of them
Speaker 1: to start increasing as well. That's what's about to happen.
Speaker 15: Yah, wow, just to let just to let you guys know.
Speaker 1: And that's apparently because of what's going on with the
Speaker 1: straight of Horn moves, you know. Never mind the fact
Speaker 1: that we have diesel manufacturing facilities and we have all
Speaker 1: these other ways that we can make it happen, but
Speaker 1: we're just we're stuck on Arab oil.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and not to mention that the biggest oil reserve
Speaker 17: is up in Norder in Alberta right now, but yeah,
Speaker 17: my government doesn't want to go and support it.
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest fucking ship. The same thing in America.
Speaker 1: We have so much oil in Alaska, we have so
Speaker 1: much oil and tax we got oil all over this bitch,
Speaker 1: but they won't touch it because we've got some sort
Speaker 1: of a deal or something with the Air of countries
Speaker 1: And it's like, yo, fuck that.
Speaker 15: Yeah for us, we should actually make our own like
Speaker 15: old pack.
Speaker 14: Yeah then like it's a Northern North American oil exchange.
Speaker 1: Yep, right, I agree.
Speaker 15: So if we could, if we could do that and
Speaker 15: just say tell our governments, that.
Speaker 1: Would be phenomenal. Right right, So over here we got Slovenia.
Speaker 1: It just became the first country to ration fuel nationwide.
Speaker 1: That's going on. We got we got more. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, it's not just oil. The shrader horn
Speaker 1: moves blocking is rattling another vital commodity.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: Farmers in the northern Hemisphere are heading into to crucial
Speaker 1: spring months during which major field work must begin. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you the short synopsis of this. They're now
Speaker 1: saying that we have a fertilizer shortage in the North
Speaker 1: American continent because of the straight of horn moves being blocked.
Speaker 1: So now they're saying that our agriculture is going to
Speaker 1: be affected by this.
Speaker 14: That's because we have to ship it down south.
Speaker 15: Most of the fertilizer actually is produced up here in Canada, right,
Speaker 15: we have to ship to you guys down so.
Speaker 1: And it's not even and we have fertilizer plants here
Speaker 1: in Louisiana as a matter of fact, Monsanto's just up
Speaker 1: the road, honestly, and we have multiple spots. But it's
Speaker 1: not even about the shipping costs making more expensive. They're
Speaker 1: saying there's a shortage, or at least they're projecting that
Speaker 1: there's about to be a shortage. So not only is
Speaker 1: our gas prices going up, not only is our commodities
Speaker 1: about to go up, but now our agriculture is about
Speaker 1: to be affected. And that same thing I always talked about,
Speaker 1: the Volkswagen thing, all right, So this is aron and
Speaker 1: reportedly threatening. Also, on top of everything else we got
Speaker 1: going on, Iran is threatening to cut the Red Sea cables.
Speaker 1: Red Sea cables for anybody that doesn't know, these underwater
Speaker 1: fiber Arctic cables that give Internet to you know, the world. Essentially,
Speaker 1: Auran's threatening to cut those. So we have all these
Speaker 1: things going on. And this is also part of the
Speaker 1: reason why I don't believe that the surrender that was
Speaker 1: offered was actually going to be a viable option. I
Speaker 1: just I don't see it. I don't think Iran's ready
Speaker 1: to call it quits yet. I know America and Israel
Speaker 1: are not ready to call it quits yet. It's a
Speaker 1: fucking mess. It's an absolute mess. It's I don't know
Speaker 1: if we are about to actually invade. I could definitely
Speaker 1: see the chips being stacked up. If that is a
Speaker 1: possibility that like they're getting ready for it, I can't
Speaker 1: say with certainty that I see it. I could see
Speaker 1: this all being a bolster. I could also see it
Speaker 1: being at getting ready to go, Tony, I saw you unmute.
Speaker 1: What your thoughts?
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I was gonna say. I think the US
Speaker 11: and Trump in particular, is looking for a way out.
Speaker 11: I don't think Israel's looking for a way out. I
Speaker 11: think Israel wants to keep America in the world long
Speaker 11: enough to get regime change in Iran. And I think
Speaker 11: Iran's also not looking for a way out. I think
Speaker 11: Trump probably wouldn't have made this fifteen point proposal unless
Speaker 11: he was looking for a way out. That's just me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could, I could. I could see that.
Speaker 1: To be completely honest with you, Sam, what's your thoughts, I.
Speaker 2: Personally think so this is gonna be a hot take.
Speaker 2: Everybody thinks that Israel owns America. I think Israel is
Speaker 2: our lapdog in the sandbox. Oh, we fund them, so
Speaker 2: if you look at who pays who, we pay them
Speaker 2: to do our duddy what to get our intel, so
Speaker 2: we don't have to get our our feet wet. Really,
Speaker 2: so in that case they belong to uh, we just
Speaker 2: let the Jews have their sindbox. Reality, it belongs to us.
Speaker 1: In a certain regard, I see what you're saying. In
Speaker 1: another regard, we need to look at how much money
Speaker 1: is going from hold On, how much money is going
Speaker 1: from Apex to our politicians and our policy makers. But
Speaker 1: even with that, even with that, if you look at
Speaker 1: the amount of money, that could hard.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I was on an impression that.
Speaker 2: Bribing politicians was illegal, but yet lobbying still happens, even
Speaker 2: though we really shouldn't be fucking Our politicians should not
Speaker 2: be getting paid by any person outside of America.
Speaker 5: They shouldn't be taking ribes for any country.
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck if it's from Canada, I
Speaker 2: don't give fuck it's from Israel. Personally, I believe they
Speaker 2: should all pay us not to fucking bomb them, because
Speaker 2: they all fucking were tarded to sale.
Speaker 1: So bribes is not what's happening. It's lobbying, although it's
Speaker 1: literally the same thing with different verb, And I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I wish they would pass a law to
Speaker 1: stop all foreign lobbying, which they allegedly have one, but
Speaker 1: somehow they have one, but somehow it still goes on anyway.
Speaker 1: But all that being said, Israel spends a lot of
Speaker 1: money on our politicians. But if you were to take
Speaker 1: a snapshot of the last three years specifically and look
Speaker 1: at how much money from foreign nations are making its
Speaker 1: way to America, Israel is not the biggest spender by
Speaker 1: a fucking long shot. You look at Qatar, you look
Speaker 1: at the UAE, you look at Saudi. They are the
Speaker 1: ones that are controlling DC right now. Israel is accepting
Speaker 1: money from US. These countries are spending money on us.
Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, Pam Bondi used to
Speaker 1: be one of the lobbyists for Katar, So it's not
Speaker 1: even like a hypothetical. That's a guarantee.
Speaker 2: Now, Pam Bondi, I don't know all the dickheads face
Speaker 2: to names in old DC.
Speaker 1: She's the one that was talking about Epstein a whole bunch.
Speaker 2: So she's the parasite that says, oh, we have five
Speaker 2: the thirty thousand fouls and everything or whatever.
Speaker 1: She was the one that was holding up the desk. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's her.
Speaker 2: And when you look at the pictures of the binders,
Speaker 2: they're all fucking.
Speaker 1: That was her. That's the one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, make sining.
Speaker 2: She's a blood sucking sight.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you on this side.
Speaker 2: Vampire.
Speaker 1: I don't believe so. I don't believe so. But beside
Speaker 1: the point. Beside the point, I don't think that Israel
Speaker 1: is controlling us. I think that we have a long
Speaker 1: standing alliance with them, and if they were about to
Speaker 1: attack Iran, then Trump probably thought it was a good
Speaker 1: idea to throw in his lot with them preemptively rather
Speaker 1: than post case. I really wish that all fourig nations
Speaker 1: would not be allowed to send money to any of
Speaker 1: our politicians. I think we would be better off overall
Speaker 1: with that. You have a long lag on your sound.
Speaker 2: The politicians do?
Speaker 5: Do I sound good now?
Speaker 1: It's like cutting in and out.
Speaker 2: Okay, funk. He's been saying for the last forty years
Speaker 2: to kill the fucking Iatola. They should get rid of
Speaker 2: the Iranian regime. I agree, Kill the entire thing of
Speaker 2: them and they won't be there. Give give Iran back
Speaker 2: to the Persians again.
Speaker 1: I wish the Persians would take over again. But keep
Speaker 1: in mind they voted for this. I got that. That
Speaker 1: also can't be sidestepped. The Islamic Revolution didn't happen, uh,
Speaker 1: because all these people were living in this happy utopia
Speaker 1: and then these mean Muslims came over and took it over.
Speaker 1: They voted for the Ayatola to take over a supreme leader.
Speaker 1: The people wanted this. Then they realized what they had
Speaker 1: voted on and they said, oh fuck. They decided like,
Speaker 1: oh fuck, we we didn't want this in reality, so
Speaker 1: we need to fix this. But they did this to themselves. Now,
Speaker 1: I for one, wish that the Persians would take back
Speaker 1: over Iran. I think that they would be a much
Speaker 1: happier and healthier nation overall with that. But that's that's
Speaker 1: we're on a We're on a ideological conversation when we're
Speaker 1: talking about a geopolitical conversation. As of this moment, I
Speaker 1: think that the reason the same thing about Again, that's ideological.
Speaker 2: You could say the same thing about but they did
Speaker 2: they not vote them in the same way, and yet
Speaker 2: they're getting fucked up to Okay, yes, I.
Speaker 11: Was elected in two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: Right, So I don't feel bad for them.
Speaker 5: They did it to themselves.
Speaker 1: I hear you. But that's the thing we're talking about,
Speaker 1: these poor Persians that did it to themselves.
Speaker 2: I guess I could ask if they did themselves, they should.
Speaker 11: Well, it's a follow up on the whole Germany and Japan. Thing.
Speaker 11: If you were born in Gaza, would you serve in Hamas?
Speaker 11: It's kind of your only option? Right?
Speaker 1: No, actually I would. I would say very much against that.
Speaker 1: I have friends that live in Palestine and they can't
Speaker 1: stand Hamas.
Speaker 11: The West Bank west Bank is much more anti Hamas
Speaker 11: for sure.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, in the strip. I got friends that
Speaker 1: live in the Gaza Strip and they cannot fucking stand Hamas.
Speaker 11: Oh wow, okay, Well I have a comment about Trump.
Speaker 11: Trump is very inconsistent. He speaks out of both sides
Speaker 11: of his mouth on a lot of things, including Iran.
Speaker 11: And he campaigned at least partially on the idea that
Speaker 11: he would not start a war with Iran. And he
Speaker 11: even said don't vote for kimelas she's gonna start a
Speaker 11: war with a run. He even tweeteds and years ago
Speaker 11: that Barack Obama might start a stupid war with Iran.
Speaker 1: Which, to be fair, Kamala was saying very similar things. Huh.
Speaker 1: She was very much in favor of going to war
Speaker 1: with Iran. A lot of the Democrats were. But then,
Speaker 1: of course I agree with you. He has been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of double speak this go round, for sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah, he does that on a lot of things. It's
Speaker 11: like he's got add he does whatever the last guy
Speaker 11: who talked to him managed to persuade him to do. So, Yeah,
Speaker 11: he's a little bit like a monarch. And I don't
Speaker 11: think monarchism is really horrible, that this is a downside
Speaker 11: of it.
Speaker 1: It can be horrible, but it can also be dope.
Speaker 1: But like in this case, it's yeah, I see what
Speaker 1: you mean for sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And you know, maybe I got a little bit
Speaker 11: what he's got because my train of thought has been
Speaker 11: derailed a little bit. But yeah, I get work idea.
Speaker 11: And you know, I think he thought he can get
Speaker 11: out of it quickly, just like Midnight Hammer only lasted
Speaker 11: twelve days. He thinks he can just do something major
Speaker 11: and then pull back. But sometimes you don't get to
Speaker 11: decide when it's over. Other people get to decide when
Speaker 11: it's over.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I would have to agree with you and hypothetic.
Speaker 1: And I don't know this for a fact. I don't
Speaker 1: know because like to say, like Midnight Hammer, right with
Speaker 1: the does Maduro, he didn't have a religious fervor surrounding
Speaker 1: him the Iatola did. If we would have done a
Speaker 1: snatch and grab in the middle of the night, like
Speaker 1: we did with Maduro in Iran, we would have started
Speaker 1: war with an entire sect of the Islamic world. That
Speaker 1: goes a little differently than taking out the leader of
Speaker 1: a socialist nation whose country half of them weren't really
Speaker 1: in favor of half of them thought he was, okay,
Speaker 1: it's it's a little different with this one.
Speaker 11: But I also for the twelve day war that was
Speaker 11: over so quick, and he thought, oh, this will just
Speaker 11: be like that all over again. No, it's not gonna
Speaker 11: be good. Yeah, you just don't get to decide that.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that cooler heads could prevail. I'm hoping we
Speaker 1: get out of this thing quick. I'm hoping no boots
Speaker 1: go on to the ground of Iran. I really do.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that because I'm some sort of
Speaker 1: a pacifist. Hell, I'm way more of a warmonger than that.
Speaker 1: But just grand scheme of shit. This doesn't this doesn't
Speaker 1: play well for us.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I hope he says that we won so big,
Speaker 11: so bigly, we don't even need our military bases in
Speaker 11: the golf anymore. So I'm gonna pull all our and
Speaker 11: there is what victory looks like that's what I'm hoping for.
Speaker 1: Out There is no way that that happens. There's no
Speaker 1: way that America is going to give back military bases
Speaker 1: anywhere on Earth. That no chance.
Speaker 11: What if missiles just keep pouring down and we can't
Speaker 11: keep guys there anymore, Because that's possible, in.
Speaker 1: That case, we would go to war.
Speaker 11: I think that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then fuck, I guess we're going to war because
Speaker 1: I there's no chance that we're giving away any of
Speaker 1: our bases that we have set up everywhere that there
Speaker 1: is a literal less than zero percent chance of that happening.
Speaker 11: I'd say it's like fifty back next week.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to because that's that's the only way
Speaker 1: that America projects the force that it has around the world,
Speaker 1: is because we have military assets everywhere, especially around the
Speaker 1: Middle East. So if we were going to give that back,
Speaker 1: we're basically handing over our uh superpower ability everywhere. We're
Speaker 1: the only global superpower on Earth. These back means that
Speaker 1: we are chipping away at the armor of our superpower
Speaker 1: status at There's no fucking chance.
Speaker 11: So yeah, it's not gonna be done willingly. It might
Speaker 11: be done, you know, very very quietly and pretending that
Speaker 11: it's not happening. But yeah, let's check back next week
Speaker 11: and the week after and just see how it goes.
Speaker 11: Because I'm predicting we will evacuate.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to check back me, you and I,
Speaker 1: as as we seem to be more and more these days, Tony,
Speaker 1: you and I are very much on the opposite sides
Speaker 1: of the fence on this one. But we shall see.
Speaker 1: Time will tell. I'm not some all knowing person and
Speaker 1: neither of you. We both do research. We'll see how
Speaker 1: it shakes out. I don't know, but I think we
Speaker 1: can both agree that this whole situation needs to get
Speaker 1: wrapped up, like right fucking now. I think we're all
Speaker 1: on the same page on that one. Oh God, Sam,
Speaker 1: what you got to see? Your hands still raised?
Speaker 2: Two words, dost vault.
Speaker 1: Oh it is just yeah, God will see Yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: With that being said, I think this is as good
Speaker 1: a time as any to wrap up this episode of
Speaker 1: The Cajun Night Live. Once again, to all the people
