Starting point is 00:00:00 Iran has kicked out IAEA inspectors. There could be portions of their nuclear program that are secret. Yep. A nuclear secret in the Middle East. How about it? If the world is interested in a secret nuclear program in the Middle East, there is a country that won't allow any international inspectors. Guess which one it is?
Starting point is 00:00:22 Israel. Oh! I thought they were going to say China. Israel has a nuclear weapon. Did you know that? I do. They allow no inspections. They are fully secretive and clandestine about it. And the Americans are fully aware. You know what? I don't even blame Israel for this. If they want to develop a nuclear weapon, if they had the blessing to do so secretly, I'm not in judgment of that. But to drag the world into a regime-change war over secret nuclear weapons, when you have secret nuclear weapons is a bit hypocritical.
Starting point is 00:00:58 well it's self it's self-preservation it's just that simple it's just straight up self-preservation I can understand it but if they say they don't need us to get rid of all the nuclear facilities Israel said that
Starting point is 00:01:12 I think it's time to turn those aircraft carriers around I think it's time to leave yeah I mean if we're not going to bomb them and Israel says they can take care of it time to go hypocrites a little longer yeah always act in self-interest talk about morals and politics yeah It's not a moral argument. It's a survival argument.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Involving fairness, which is irrelevant. Yeah. You never want to have a fair fight. You always want to have an asymmetrical, overwhelming advantage against your opponent. So here's a deal. How about Iran and Israel both give up their secret nuclear weapon programs? Done. Perfect. Completely agree. If Trump got that deal, he wouldn't only get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Starting point is 00:01:55 They'd probably name it the Trump Peace Prize. surprise forever more. Good one. It's not that crazy to think about Israel denuclearizing. Look at the model in South Africa. South Africa denuclearized right before they stopped being an apartheid state. Prominent voices in Israel and America have called for Trump to recognize Israel's sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, which some people call the West Bank. If that happens, Israel will have to let the five to six million people who live there vote. And they don't want to do that. I'm not calling Israel an apartheid state. Right now, I don't think they are.
Starting point is 00:02:32 But if they are ruling the West Bank, as the neocons would suggest, then the South Africa model for denuclearization is not totally off base. There's a certain bravado at the beginning of a middle. I don't see how it's even that complicated about like what the country does, bro. Like, it's better if people don't have nukes. Like, it's just that simple. Like I, and people, you know, it's like people might. might get mad like, oh, you're making a complicated topic simple because it is. It really is.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Like, absolutely. Like, says USA, exactly. Like, well, of course we're going to add, like the USA, but I think about like this, is it good for Russia that Ukraine doesn't have nukes? Simple question. Is it good that Ukraine doesn't have nukes from Russia's perspective? It is. Okay. Is it good for China that Taiwan doesn't have nukes? As far as I don't think Taiwan has nukes, right? Is it good for China? Yes, again. It's also good. Is it good for us that Japan didn't have nukes in World War II? I would say that it is. So the fact is that having these weapons give you a distinct and obvious advantage in combat. Of course, they're going to want to make them, but we can't let other people make these weapons because, again, like, we don't want to,
Starting point is 00:03:52 we don't want to deal with this shit. It's bad. Yeah, it's power leverage, exactly. And you want to keep the leverage on your side of the table. That's survival. So it's good for the aggressor? Well, it's good also for, no, it's good for the country, no matter whether they're the aggressor or the defender. Like, nukes are also a deterrent for attacking a country too. They're both.
Starting point is 00:04:19 The least regime change war. There's enthusiasm, bold predictions of swift victory, and usually a total missile. understanding of what happens next. Oh, Iraq wasn't prepared. Daisy cutter? This is how easily the so-called foreign policy experts believed
Starting point is 00:04:37 we would carve our way through Iraq. I saw how many of our bravest patriots were pushing up Daisies as a consequence of that war. I went to their funerals. I visited their gravesites. I saw the true cost of a flawed regime-change war in the Middle East. Another flawed regime change.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Iraq cost America. Iraq cost America $3 trillion. And this distraction and disaster aided in both the rise of China and ISIS. Yep. Whoever was telling you that we had the ability to topple a regime in Iraq and then come out with something better was either one lying to you or two so wholly ignorant about the country they were invading that their lack of knowledge or curiosity or... He's wrong. It's neither. The reason why we got involved with that is because... the people that wanted us to get involved had a vested financial interest in our involvement.
Starting point is 00:05:33 That's the reason. What was Dick Cheney the CEO of? Understanding led to blood and terrorism and chaos. So as we approach the 2025 vintage of regime change wars in Iran, I wonder if those now cheerleading attacks on Iran know anything about the country they want to topple. Yeah, exactly, bro. we can't try to change their regime. We can't do that at all. I do think that this is going to damage the reputation,
Starting point is 00:06:02 like especially of a lot of the pro-Israel people. A lot of the pro-Israel people will have their reputation damaged, I think, like seriously, by how much they are defending Israel. And I think that the veil has been lifted for like a lot of average Americans, and they've seen that, you know, America is doing a little bit too much to help Israel out. And I think that that's created. Honestly, I think it's created anti-Semitism. I think it has.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Instagram Reels contributed to about 90% of today's anti-Semitism. I'm like, honestly, as somebody who is like, I love racial jokes, I love racist jokes, I'm sorry. Like, you can't make them in chat. You're against the rules. Don't even think about it. But, but I do love them. I do. Didn't JD Vance meet the pet?
Starting point is 00:06:53 Yeah, it's pretty bad on Instagram. Well, a lot of people, and I think what's happened is that Israel has completely lost the narrative in terms of them being this like kind of victimized state because a lot of young people are growing up without the same type of generational guilt of the Holocaust. And so whenever they invoke Hitler or invoke the Holocaust or something like that, I don't think that it hits the same way now because a lot of, and here's another reason. these people probably these kids probably don't even know when world war two happened they don't even know when that shit happened to begin with right they got no idea and so big surprise yeah they think as same i think they're funny too yeah exactly right how's vance's blue sky going not very well the real difference iran has a large educated population it opposes the regime and even had a democracy before in 1979 well i i'm not
Starting point is 00:07:46 trying to compare iraq and iran i i don't think it's a fair comparison either personally, but you can't blame people for having trepidation. I think you should expect that, sure. Equivalent to crying slavery in the U.S., yeah. Maybe if you're not Jewish or studied nothing about World War II or Holocaust, you'd think like that? No, it's very simple. These people were not involved with World War II. They didn't do the Holocaust, so they have no guilt for it. So when you invoke this bad thing that happened in the past to somebody as a justification or a authority for why it's okay for you to do something in the future or in the present, that doesn't really hit with the younger people as much, right? It doesn't work anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Like slavery, yeah. Think about like slavery. And you're seeing younger people also push back against the idea that, you know, slavery is some kind of like original sin that, you know, America needs to constantly be apologizing for. And that's happening in the same way that it's happening with Israel, is that a lot of these, like basically emotional blackmail techniques are so lack of historical knowledge? No. Well, in some cases, yes. So you're right that a lot of them are just, yeah, they don't know what it is because they're dumb. But there's also a huge contingency of them that don't know, that don't care.
Starting point is 00:09:05 And that's the big point that I'm making about this. It's that they don't care. It doesn't matter to them whether, oh, yeah, the Holocaust happened 100 years ago or slavery happened 150 years ago. This isn't something that they want to live their life according to today. Because effectively what that means to people is that they don't want to live their life in the context of someone else's problems that they didn't even cause. And what I've learned and what I've observed just throughout history is that one way to radicalize a group of people is to hold them generationally accountable for something that they didn't do. And I think that you can look at this with, you know, obviously I think this led to the rise of like Nazis. I think it led after World War I
Starting point is 00:09:49 I think it led to the rise of a lot of anti-Semitism here I think that it's led to the rise of let's see like a lot of I think that the hatred that people have for Israel I think Germany yeah exactly right it's happening on America it is
Starting point is 00:10:03 and I don't know a single instance where that's not the case and so white Americans understand slavery they just don't want their rights being lowered because they're white yeah no I think that's true obviously but wars when young naeva tricked by old and to kill each other?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Sure, right? Guilt tripping is so bad that triggers emotion and it blocks logic. Do you think that we'll live to see a nuke dropped? No. I don't think it'll happen.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Yeah, you asked me a question. I don't think so. How is the rise of anti-Semitism from World War I? Well, it's what happened after World War I. And even during the World War I, like, Treaty of Versailles, was that it?
Starting point is 00:10:41 I forgot. They even said that this was like, you know, a 20-year armistice until World War II. And so, like, I mean, this was predicted even when it was happening. So, yeah, I could be a little bit wrong with some of these, like, data points. I think it was Kaiser Wilhelm that said that. So it was well defined when it happened.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And I think that, again, and you're seeing this happen with men too nowadays, where, like, men are being held generationally accountable because there were certain, you know, generational advantages that men had maybe 50 years ago. And in some cases, only 20 years ago or 30 years. years ago, men had advantages that women didn't have. But when you're a guy who's 20 years old and you grew up without any of those advantages and then they still want to handicap you because of them, that's going to create a lot of resentment. And I think that's something that's happening and it's radicalizing more and more people. And that's where I think a lot of the anti-Israel sentiment is coming from. I think anti-Israel sentiment comes out of that. I think anti-woke sentiment comes out of that. I think that anti-like kind of like, kind of like, like minority sentiment comes out of that. And yeah, I mean, I would say all of these come out of the exact same thing. You're on point 100%.
Starting point is 00:11:55 That's where I would say, yes, speak of truth. I mean, I hope that people can realize that. I'll read a few more of these in your millennial father's pussy. Well, I don't know if they have like dads at this point that are millennial. But yeah, if people are still around who have parents and concentration camps, it's still relevant to talk about today, though, right? Well, you don't get to decide what's relevant for another person. And also, they don't get to decide what's relevant to you.
Starting point is 00:12:16 but you can't make a person care about what you care about. And to the extent that you try to emotionally blackmail them into doing so, you're going to alienate them against you. So I think that's what's clearly happened. It was because, like, again, this is what happened a long time ago. And so, like, why would somebody be thinking and making decisions about it now? What's the difference between an emotional blackmail and learning from history? The difference is that it's about guilt.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And it's about guilt and obligation. And so whenever you look at a historical context of something and you say because of this historical context, we now need to be treated differently or better because of that, I think that that's whenever you really run into problems. It's assignment of guilt and assignment of blame. That's really yet. White Americans fought the free slaves, yet there's guilt. Well, the amount of white Americans that owns slaves in America was like 1 to 3 percent or something like that. It was a very small minority of Americans that actually even owned slaves to begin with. slavery was really expensive what well yeah i'll pull it up and show you a lot of people might not know this
Starting point is 00:13:18 um what percentage of americans owned slaves before slavery was abolished so i think it's 1.68 right and uh so yeah the south of slavery was more concentrated the percentage was higher so on average it was 1.4 percent and even in the south it was less than 10 percent at 8 percent right so there you go and so uh very very low amount of people around 1860 around 1.4 percent of the u.s population owned slaves so the entire concept of this being like a generational thing that white people are responsible for is ridiculous the first slave over in america was black well guess who was probably selling the slaves right i mean like
Starting point is 00:14:10 that's clearly what happened i mean people conquering each other and selling each other into slavery it's the tale is all this time. So, and that's, that's a lot of things like this that people are realizing. It's so important. And like all of these things, keep in mind, too, is that none of these things invalidate people's, like, they don't invalidate civil rights. They don't invalidate people's struggles. They don't invalidate people's personal experiences.
Starting point is 00:14:32 But I think it's really important for at the same time, everyone to realize that there is a big difference. And for people, and I think that when people realize these facts, a lot of of the seemingly generational guilt kind of disappears. Slavery was cattle to people? Well, yeah, chattel slavery. Yeah, I think everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Slavery was very bad. You're being ignorant? Well, let me go back and... Actually, you know what? That's not even an argument. I'm just going to ban you. I don't even... I don't want to argue with somebody
Starting point is 00:15:09 who's not even verbalizing what they think. So yeah. And my friend of my ancestors is rival slaves. We have that too? Yeah, yeah, definitely. And I think the biggest reason why people hate Israel is the horrible war crimes they committed are well documented, like March 23rd, where they clearly unloaded ammunition on ambulance workers? No, yeah, I think that's definitely it. But the problem is that those, I think that the bad actions that Israel has taken, they probably go back for years.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But why are people putting more of an emphasis on it now? Well, I think it's because people are growing up in a culture that doesn't view them. And I think also, like, obviously as the country becomes kind of less religious and at least like less, you know, traditionally religious, you're seeing a big change with that too. That's what you do, though. You just say things with no proof, not always sometimes. Like what? What have I said without proof? Israel's hated because they baby killers in apartheid state?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Do you really think, no, no, no, I want you to answer the question. do you really think that the guilt from World War II has nothing to do with people's implicit support for Israel in the West? No, no, I want you to answer this question. Do you really think that's true? Sure. Okay. So I say things without evidence, yet you agree with me. Of course, everybody knows this. Everybody knows this.
