Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You remember a guy by the name of Joe Biden.
- 0:01Speaker 1: Let me remind you of his tweets about going to
- 0:04Speaker 1: wars in other countries. Joe Biden February seventh, twenty twenty
- 0:10Speaker 1: tweeted this out. As president, I will use military power
- 0:15Speaker 1: responsibly and as a last resort. We will not go
- 0:20Speaker 1: back to forever wars in the Middle East. We will
- 0:25Speaker 1: not go back to forever wars in the Middle East.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Has tagged him debate now. He was trying to convince
- 0:31Speaker 1: Democrats that if you voted for him, he would not
- 0:33Speaker 1: be a war guy. Right, He would be the opposite
- 0:35Speaker 1: of a war guy. He would do anything but be
- 0:37Speaker 1: a war guy. That's what he would actually do. He
- 0:41Speaker 1: would be a peaceful guy. Fast forward thirty six days
- 0:45Speaker 1: into his administration, and what is Joe Biden doing. Joe
- 0:49Speaker 1: Biden's attacking and getting us into another war. I'm not
- 0:53Speaker 1: even saying, what if I think it's a good or
- 0:55Speaker 1: bad idea to being war in Syria Nsado. Okay, what
- 0:57Speaker 1: I'm saying is, if you voted for this guy, you're
- 1:01Speaker 1: an idiot. I'm laughing in your face. You got bamboozled,
- 1:07Speaker 1: you got screwed. Joe Biden lied to you. And if
- 1:11Speaker 1: you're listening to me right now and you voted for
- 1:13Speaker 1: Joe Biden, I am laughing in your face. Remember when
- 1:17Speaker 1: you hated Republicans. I'm speaking only to the liberal Democrats
- 1:20Speaker 1: right now. Okay, so I apologize by all the conservatives listening,
- 1:23Speaker 1: But I need to get this off my chest. Remember
- 1:25Speaker 1: when you guys lectured us about going to war and
- 1:27Speaker 1: how evil it was and we killed innocent people and
- 1:30Speaker 1: air strikes kill innocent people, and how dare you kill
- 1:32Speaker 1: terrorists around the world? And we need to give vaccines
- 1:35Speaker 1: to terrorists and getmo. Remember the college Chek Mohammad, the
- 1:37Speaker 1: mouse of my nine eleven got a vaccine before you did,
- 1:40Speaker 1: brought to you by the Biden administration. They literally went
- 1:42Speaker 1: to the guy that planned the nine to eleven attack,
- 1:45Speaker 1: who is in Ghetmo, and we said, here, let's make
- 1:47Speaker 1: sure you don't die of COVID before American citizens. That
- 1:51Speaker 1: is the Biden administration. That's what the Biden administration is
- 1:54Speaker 1: actually doing. That's what the Biden administration has done. Now
- 2:00Speaker 1: you now look at Joe Biden, a guy who promises
- 2:03Speaker 1: you that he wasn't going to go to war. He
- 2:05Speaker 1: lied to you. He lied to you big time. Now
- 2:08Speaker 1: you have a US missile strikes that have hit Iranian
- 2:11Speaker 1: back militias, as Joe Biden has ordered retaliation for American
- 2:16Speaker 1: for attacks on Americans. Again, I'm not saying that I
- 2:19Speaker 1: agree or disagree with the decision. I'm saying, you guys
- 2:23Speaker 1: got screwed, and it's amazing to watch. I want to
- 2:26Speaker 1: know how you're gonna defend this now, right, I'm sure
- 2:28Speaker 1: there's an innocent person that died. I'm sure there's gonna
- 2:31Speaker 1: be someone you're gonna find that wasn't in military garb
- 2:34Speaker 1: that was killed. And that's blood on your hands. To
- 2:37Speaker 1: quote AOC to quote Biden supporters, Right, I understand war.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I get war. I comprehend war. I understand how war works.
- 2:46Speaker 1: I understand that when you go to war, there are
- 2:49Speaker 1: people that are civilians that will die in a war.
- 2:51Speaker 1: And if you can't accept that, never go to war.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And I'm saying it's the Democrats. I've already accepted that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I don't know why so many Democrats act like you
- 2:59Speaker 1: can have a war without any casualties. It's impossible. Fast
- 3:04Speaker 1: forward thirty six days in Joe Biden is taking US
- 3:07Speaker 1: toward now, you got to ask the question, why, why now, why?
- 3:10Speaker 1: Thirty six days in is this happening? Why is this
- 3:13Speaker 1: happening at this moment. I'll tell exactly why it's happening
- 3:15Speaker 1: this moment, because he took the bait, because he's an idiot.
- 3:21Speaker 1: You had these militias in northern Syria that decided to
- 3:27Speaker 1: shoot some missiles, some rocket attacks on US bases in Iraq.
- 3:33Speaker 1: They understand what they're doing, Understand Iran right now, and
- 3:37Speaker 1: understand what's happening in Syria. Asad doesn't exist if it
- 3:41Speaker 1: isn't for Rand propping him up. Asada also doesn't exist
- 3:45Speaker 1: without Russia protecting him. Russian war planes are in Syria
- 3:49Speaker 1: on the ground in Syria. One of the reasons why
- 3:52Speaker 1: we didn't try to overthrow Assad is because we knew
- 3:54Speaker 1: that meant we would be going to war with Russia,
- 3:57Speaker 1: so we decided it was a bad decision. New president
- 4:00Speaker 1: comes in, guys that goes to bed early, plays Mario
- 4:03Speaker 1: Kart with his granddaughter, and we write news articles about
- 4:05Speaker 1: this crap at Camp David, and he likes his fireplace
- 4:08Speaker 1: in the oval office lit and he goes to bed
- 4:10Speaker 1: at seven. Then all of a sudden wakes up and says,
- 4:12Speaker 1: let's bomb assad, Let's bomb Syria. If you don't understand
- 4:16Speaker 1: the politics of this, you're a moron. At this point,
- 4:19Speaker 1: these Iranian back militias in northern Syria attacking American bases
- 4:24Speaker 1: did this for one reason, to drive the price of
- 4:28Speaker 1: oil through the roof. Who benefits with high oil prices Iran,
- 4:32Speaker 1: who desperately needs money right now, and Russia, who desperately
- 4:37Speaker 1: needs money right now. Russia and Iran are totally aligned
- 4:41Speaker 1: in a war in the Middle East. They need someone
- 4:43Speaker 1: to fight. They can't fight each other, right. Afghanistan's not
- 4:47Speaker 1: going to attack Syria, Iraq's not gonna attack as Syria.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Iran's not going to attack Assyria, none of these countries.
- 4:54Speaker 1: The only you have to go to war with a
- 4:55Speaker 1: great Satan the United States of America. Right, And if
- 4:59Speaker 1: you do that and you bomb and you shoot some rockets,
- 5:02Speaker 1: which is terrible right at American basis. My old mentality
- 5:07Speaker 1: would have been, you go over there and you bomb
- 5:09Speaker 1: the living hell out of them? How dare you screw
- 5:11Speaker 1: with America? But I now understand foreign policy a lot
- 5:14Speaker 1: better because of the war in Iraq after nine eleven,
- 5:17Speaker 1: I understand that the Iranian back militias in northern Syria
- 5:20Speaker 1: did this to try to get America to respond because
- 5:22Speaker 1: oil prices go up and they make money. Why do
- 5:27Speaker 1: you think Donald Trump never took the bait. Why do
- 5:30Speaker 1: you think he killed a guy in Iraq on the
- 5:32Speaker 1: tarmac in Iraq, not Iran. He didn't want to go
- 5:35Speaker 1: to war in Iran. He didn't want to do anything
- 5:37Speaker 1: in Iran. He didn't want to attack in Iran. That's
- 5:40Speaker 1: what he didn't want to do. That was what he said,
- 5:42Speaker 1: I'm not going to do because I know and I
- 5:45Speaker 1: understand the politics is. I'm not gonna make these people rich, right,
- 5:49Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make them rich. I'm not gonna make
- 5:51Speaker 1: them blow up. I'm not gonna make them a bunch
- 5:53Speaker 1: of money. I want energy independence in the United States
- 5:56Speaker 1: of America. I'm gonna take away their power to manipulate
- 5:58Speaker 1: the markets. By having energy independence, I'm gonna have the
- 6:01Speaker 1: keys some pipeline. I'm gonna drill, baby, drill in a
- 6:03Speaker 1: responsible way. I'm gonna lower gas prices. I'm not gonna
- 6:06Speaker 1: have us depending on foreign oil Middle Eastern oil. And
- 6:08Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make these war awards these dictators, these
- 6:11Speaker 1: tyrants wealthy. So go back to Joe Biden's sleeping Joe
- 6:17Speaker 1: Biden gets woken up. Hey man, American base got hit.
- 6:20Speaker 1: What do you want to do? His initial reactions, it's
- 6:22Speaker 1: as fire back at them. I promise you that his
- 6:26Speaker 1: sad has a bunch of his hot, hot chicks around
- 6:29Speaker 1: him that are in his military. That's what they do
- 6:32Speaker 1: over there. Gadaffi taught him that he's got a bunch
- 6:34Speaker 1: of his hot secret service chicks around him. It's true,
- 6:37Speaker 1: just so you know, and if you don't believe me,
- 6:38Speaker 1: go google it. Gadaffi only had women around him that
- 6:41Speaker 1: protected him. True story. Not a single dude was in
- 6:45Speaker 1: the secret service of Gadaffi. They were all hot. Guess
- 6:49Speaker 1: what a sad and saying He's like me too, I'm
- 6:50Speaker 1: in on that game. Like give hot chicks weapons and
- 6:53Speaker 1: they can protect me. Let's go. So he's probably got
- 6:56Speaker 1: some don Perion. He's probably pouring it right now. He's
- 6:59Speaker 1: probably on the phone with Putin, going we're about to
- 7:01Speaker 1: get rich. They got to translate that, of course into Russian,
- 7:05Speaker 1: but I'm sure Putin understands as well. Russian's probably parting
- 7:08Speaker 1: with his hot chicks in the KGB, right, and they're
- 7:10Speaker 1: probably all hanging out with a bunch of hot chicks
- 7:13Speaker 1: drinking beer right now, are Don Perion saying we about
- 7:17Speaker 1: to get paid? And Joe Biden, the old guy, took
- 7:22Speaker 1: the bait. Joe Biden, the old guy, said let's do
- 7:27Speaker 1: it and retaliate. Now, the question is what does a
- 7:29Speaker 1: sad do next? Is a sad going to fire back?
- 7:33Speaker 1: I would argue Assad's not calling the shots. I would
- 7:36Speaker 1: argue that Assad is not even close to calling the shots.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I would argue that Assad is going to do whatever
- 7:42Speaker 1: the hell I rand tells them to do, because they're
- 7:43Speaker 1: propping him up, giving him weapons, and whatever Russia decides
- 7:47Speaker 1: that he should do. If Russia says stripe back, they
- 7:50Speaker 1: will stripe back. And remember this is all Iranian back militias,
- 7:53Speaker 1: so it's really a proxy war with Iran. And so
- 7:55Speaker 1: the Iranians may say fire back, and every rocket that
- 7:58Speaker 1: goes up, oil prices go up. Every rocket that shot off,
- 8:02Speaker 1: oil prices go up. So Biden took the bait. It
- 8:05Speaker 1: was a dumb move. And on the and again, if
- 8:07Speaker 1: you voted for him, you guys got bamboozled. And I
- 8:09Speaker 1: love it. You got bamboozled, and I love it. President
- 8:15Speaker 1: Joe Biden ordering these missile strikes goes against everything he
- 8:18Speaker 1: said in his own words, in his own words, in
- 8:24Speaker 1: his own words, he said, I'm not gonna do this.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you Joe Biden's tweet again because it's
- 8:32Speaker 1: important that you understand these tweets. Quote. As president, I
- 8:39Speaker 1: will use military power responsibly and as a last resort.
- 8:44Speaker 1: We will not go back to forever wars in the
- 8:48Speaker 1: Middle East. He tweeted that out February the seven, twenty,
- 8:53Speaker 1: twenty thirty plus days in he does the complete opposite
- 8:58Speaker 1: of that. Let me remind you at the White House
- 9:00Speaker 1: Press Secretary said back in two thousand and seventeen when
- 9:05Speaker 1: Donald Trump was president. Quote also, what is the legal
- 9:11Speaker 1: authority for strikes? Question Mark Assad is a brutal dictator.
- 9:17Speaker 1: But Syria is a sovereign country. So not only did
- 9:22Speaker 1: Jen the White House Press secretary to say that you
- 9:24Speaker 1: can't attack or hit a sovereign country, right, but Joe
- 9:29Speaker 1: Biden also says President I will never do this, And
- 9:32Speaker 1: he immediately goes in, and he immediately takes a bait,
- 9:35Speaker 1: and he immediately does it. He immediately, does it now?
- 9:41Speaker 1: President Joe Biden ordering this mission strike against the running
- 9:44Speaker 1: back militia in northern Syria on Thursday, is is going
- 9:48Speaker 1: to make the price of oil go up. And that's
- 9:50Speaker 1: all they want here. This is not even about going
- 9:53Speaker 1: to war with America. If you think it is about
- 9:55Speaker 1: going to war with America, it's not. It is not
- 9:57Speaker 1: about going to war with America. It never has has been.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Biden ordering the strikes against these facilities near the Syrian
- 10:04Speaker 1: border with Iraq. They use, the militias use. This is
- 10:08Speaker 1: not I would even argue really about our safety. Right
- 10:12Speaker 1: They won't even the DoD won't even specify whether the
- 10:14Speaker 1: strikes inflicted casualties beyond the structures. Right. That's how little
- 10:18Speaker 1: these strike these Our response was not a heavy handed response.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Maybe that's a better way of saying it. This was
- 10:24Speaker 1: a minimalist response that ratcheses up the tension Middle East,
- 10:29Speaker 1: which means that the price of oil and gas goes up.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Iranium Back militias fired rockets at both US embassy and
- 10:37Speaker 1: bagged that in other US base Iraq in recent weeks
- 10:40Speaker 1: as a justification for doing this. Quote at present Biden's
- 10:44Speaker 1: direction US military forces earlier this evening conducted air strikes
- 10:47Speaker 1: against infrastructure utilized by the Iranian back militia groups in
- 10:50Speaker 1: eastern Syria. Now you may say, well, this is great,
- 10:54Speaker 1: we should always do this, right, there's intelligence. I think
- 10:56Speaker 1: it's pretty clear what we've learned from the Middle East
- 10:58Speaker 1: and the conflicts in the Middle East is this. We
- 11:01Speaker 1: could hit militia backed targets in the Middle East all
- 11:07Speaker 1: day and all night and never ending. If that is
- 11:11Speaker 1: America's policy. Now there is the world thinking that you say, look,
- 11:16Speaker 1: you hit us, we hit you back. That's what we do.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I think we have to become more intelligent than that.
- 11:22Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that Donald
- 11:23Speaker 1: Trump did. Donald Trump never took the bait in the
- 11:27Speaker 1: Middle East. He understood that the best thing I can
- 11:31Speaker 1: do is take the bait. If I am Assad, the
- 11:35Speaker 1: best thing I can do and the worst thing for America.
- 11:39Speaker 1: The best thing for you as a terrorist is come
- 11:41Speaker 1: after you because it allows you to make money. Think
- 11:45Speaker 1: about these militias. They're funded buy Iran if a run
- 11:49Speaker 1: is if Iran is poor, which right now they are
- 11:51Speaker 1: compared to how rich they were after nine eleven and
- 11:54Speaker 1: during the Obama years, Right when we didn't want to
- 11:57Speaker 1: be energy independent. They had more money disposable income to
- 12:02Speaker 1: give to Hamas, to give to Hezbollah, to give to Isis,
- 12:06Speaker 1: to give to al Qaeda, to do their dirty work
- 12:08Speaker 1: for them, and they didn't even have to die doing it.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Think about how brilliant it is what Iran has done.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Iran has found the crazy fundamentalists in the Middle East
- 12:17Speaker 1: who are willing to die, and they give them the
- 12:19Speaker 1: product they need, the bombs they need, the roadside bombs,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and need the rockets, they need whatever it is, the fertilizer,
- 12:26Speaker 1: they need, the car bombs, they need to go and
- 12:29Speaker 1: have their jihad. And then you can't say it's Iran
- 12:33Speaker 1: doing it directly, because they're doing it indirectly. Rand's brilliant.
- 12:37Speaker 1: You find crazies, you give them what they want, they
- 12:40Speaker 1: do your dirty work for you, and you make more money.
- 12:43Speaker 1: And Trump understood this, and he got it, and he realized,
- 12:47Speaker 1: you don't always take the bait. It's something you don't
- 12:49Speaker 1: always do. You don't always want to take the bait.
- 12:52Speaker 1: You don't always want to be the first guy to
- 12:55Speaker 1: make a strike, you don't always want to be the
- 12:56Speaker 1: first guy to do something stupid. Yet these strikes are
- 13:02Speaker 1: authorized quote in response to recent attacks against US and
- 13:06Speaker 1: coalition personnel in Iraq and ongoing threats to those personnel.
- 13:11Speaker 1: The threat to these personnels still exist today, even though
- 13:16Speaker 1: we did a bombing, they still they still exist today.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You kill these terrorists in Syria, they're just going to
- 13:25Speaker 1: be replaced tomorrow. They're just gonna be replaced tomorrow. You
- 13:30Speaker 1: do it today, they're gonna be replaced tomorrow. That is
- 13:33Speaker 1: a fact. They're always going to be replaced. They will
- 13:38Speaker 1: never go away because there's a pipeline of dictators that
- 13:43Speaker 1: are willing to train up these terrorists to do their
- 13:47Speaker 1: jobs for them. These strikes that we say are authorized,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and they're strong and response to these attacks, they'll do
- 13:54Speaker 1: it again, and they'll do it again, and they'll do
- 13:56Speaker 1: it again. I am warning you right now. Right the
- 14:01Speaker 1: d D said they did quote defensive precision strikes. You
- 14:07Speaker 1: can call it whatever the hell you want to. You
- 14:09Speaker 1: can spin it however you want to. You can say
- 14:11Speaker 1: that this is a defensive precision strike. Right, You can
- 14:17Speaker 1: do it all you want to. You can spin it
- 14:21Speaker 1: this way. Well, this was just a defensive You still
- 14:25Speaker 1: accomplish what they wanted you to accomplish on their behalf.
- 14:29Speaker 1: You've now ratchet up the tension. You've given them an
- 14:32Speaker 1: opportunity to strike back, and then what are you gonna do.
- 14:35Speaker 1: You're probably gonna strike back, and then what are they
- 14:37Speaker 1: gonna do. They're gonna strike back, and then what are
- 14:38Speaker 1: you gonna do? And then we're in war. Conflict in
- 14:42Speaker 1: the Middle East makes the Middle East rich. It always has.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Conflict in the Middle East makes the Middle East rich.
- 14:52Speaker 1: There's always been this liberal line that Americans make you know, well,
- 14:55Speaker 1: the evil Chineese of the world make money off of wars.
- 14:59Speaker 1: And there may be some truth to Americans making money
- 15:01Speaker 1: off of wars, right, Raytheon and Boeing and all these
- 15:05Speaker 1: other companies that make money off war. Right, if they're
- 15:07Speaker 1: in war, they make a ton of money. They make
- 15:09Speaker 1: new weapons, and we give them unlimited blank checks from
- 15:11Speaker 1: the US government, and we've done that for decades. But
- 15:16Speaker 1: there's also people to get rich in the Middle East.
- 15:18Speaker 1: It's not just a one way street. And Democrats have
- 15:20Speaker 1: always said, well, you guys are evil because you're doing this, right,
- 15:23Speaker 1: you're evil because you're doing this. I go back to
- 15:29Speaker 1: the core point that I made earlier. This is a
- 15:32Speaker 1: dumb decision. It is dumb to do it at the
- 15:36Speaker 1: beginning of your administration. It's dumb to take the bait
- 15:39Speaker 1: right away. It's dumb to put yourself in this situation.
- 15:42Speaker 1: And I don't care how you spend this. This is
- 15:44Speaker 1: not going to end well. Now, what will Asad do?
- 15:48Speaker 1: Who knows? I don't know if Asad knows what he's
- 15:50Speaker 1: going to do. And the reason why I say I
- 15:52Speaker 1: don't know if a side knows what he's gonna do,
- 15:54Speaker 1: it's because Asad's not making this decision. Asad did not
- 15:57Speaker 1: make the decision to shoot rockets in America. That was
- 15:59Speaker 1: a decision that was made by the Iranians. It was
- 16:02Speaker 1: a decision that was made by the Russians. They probably
- 16:06Speaker 1: had a three way conversation about it. Okay, that's what
- 16:11Speaker 1: this is. Now. The Biden administration is taking a lot
- 16:16Speaker 1: of heat today from the left. Here is what they've
- 16:19Speaker 1: said in response to the left attacking them for attacking
- 16:24Speaker 1: Assad in Syria. Quote this proportionate military response, that's their words.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Proportionate military response was actually to de escalate, is how
- 16:38Speaker 1: they're spinning it now. It's de escalation, that's what they claim.
- 16:41Speaker 1: That's what they're saying, it's all about de escalation. We're
- 16:45Speaker 1: not escalating it. Yeah, you are. Be intellectually honest. Don't
- 16:49Speaker 1: be bamboozled by this. Don't buy this crap. This is
- 16:52Speaker 1: in no way is this de escalating anything. This is
- 16:57Speaker 1: escalating things. This is not de escalating things. It has
- 17:03Speaker 1: never been de escalating things. It's not so if you
- 17:09Speaker 1: voted for him, congratulations, Exactly what he said he wasn't
- 17:13Speaker 1: gonna do. He's doing, which is also all the rest
- 17:15Speaker 1: of their policies right now. They said they were gonna
- 17:17Speaker 1: give you the minimum wage increase, They said they were
- 17:19Speaker 1: gonna give you this, that and the other. They said
- 17:21Speaker 1: they were gonna give you all these different things that
- 17:22Speaker 1: they never gave you. They never gave you any of it.
- 17:26Speaker 1: They lied to you. You're welcome, we warned you. Biden's
- 17:31Speaker 1: airstrike we just got word has left twenty two dead
- 17:35Speaker 1: as Iranian back militia's targeted in Syria, wiped out by
- 17:38Speaker 1: bombs in a revenge attack, is what we're being told.
- 17:42Speaker 1: This just coming in now. Joe Biden's first airstrike. Apparently
- 17:46Speaker 1: twenty two people dead as Iranian back militia targeted in Syria,
- 17:52Speaker 1: the US dropped seven five hundred pound joint direct attack munitions,
- 17:57Speaker 1: reportedly killing they say seventeen at a crossing used by
- 18:02Speaker 1: Iranian back militia groups to remove weapons, they say, across
- 18:06Speaker 1: the border. So there you go. We know it's seventeen.
- 18:10Speaker 1: We're getting video by the way coming in now, the
- 18:12Speaker 1: US airstrikes coming in. It is a populated area where
- 18:18Speaker 1: we hit so much for peace in the Middle East
- 18:22Speaker 1: under Joe Biden's administration, and I'll leave it at that.
