America Meddles in Elections, Too | Joe Rogan and Tim Pool

You know when it comes to Trump, what did he do? He missile strike in Syria Weapons deal with Saudi Arabia commando raids in Yemen a little girl got killed and I've been for the most part very very critical of him and any other administration who engages in regime change foreign wars and Look, I got to say, you know when it comes to domestic issues I'm not that's not my wheelhouse when it comes to foreign policy stuff only a little bit like I've been to some countries I've experienced the stuff but really, you know on the ground cultural between, you know, people is more my thing But I know more about foreign policy than domestic and when I see Trump's foreign policy, I was very critical of it But I will point out withdrawing from Syria. I'm a fan I understand a lot more than probably the average person does some of the issues surrounding Syria Russia the Qatar Turkey pipeline and things But typically I think it's usually a bad idea when the US involves itself in foreign foreign interests and tries engaging in These regime change strategies to build allies But one of the things that really blew my mind is I saw a survey At least it was going around in the inner on social media So who knows if it's true that claimed the Democrats have a favorable opinion of George W Bush, you know something something that effect and They're in retrospect like yeah like today today They pulled them they're like, oh he was good And there's a video of him like giving a piece of candy to Michelle Obama and everyone was like was going viral and people Are laughing about I'm like, are you nuts? They hold hands. That's crazy. That guy's awful That guy but what happened and and then when Trump announces he's gonna pull trips out of Syria Everybody opposes it like the media saying it's wrong and you've got a lot of like mainstream people on the left saying it's wrong And I'm like it is What do you mean? Like that's crazy to me like, you know all of my activist friends. We've never been in favor of that stuff We've always opposed it That's always been the left's position and now I'm seeing people who claim to be on the left Support multinational businesses as private businesses doing whatever they want meaning like social media core. Yeah, like like dude You know Saudi I think it's a Saudi prince is one of the biggest investors in Twitter Really? Yeah. Yeah, and so it's like There have been a series of people who have gotten letters that they've violated Pakistani law I mean this they send screenshots, you know screen has can be faked but they've been a couple people who have been like for some reason Twitter decided to inform me of this and then It's it's a multinational. Let's let's talk about the the algorithmic apocalypse. Let's let's segue into that You've got a platform where our public discourse is happening where the left has repeatedly said that Russians used it to manipulate our elections where one of its biggest investors is a Saudi prince or something that effect and They're banning people of a certain who oppose a certain ideological bent Like that sounds like a democratic crisis, right? If if this is where the public sphere is if you you know, you said Milo is no longer in the conversation You know, he's banned from Twitter even those got millions of followers, right? They don't talk about him anymore is off Twitter Twitter really is important. The president is there So if you start removing people you've got foreign interests who have a stake in what Twitter is doing yeah, they can seriously influence our elections, you know and and They they are but I'll but I'll but I'll move into What most really crazy New York Times reported? There's a group that false flagged the Republicans in Alabama with fake Twitter accounts They made to convince the media Russians were propping up the campaign of Roy Moore so basically This according to their times is all fact. This is they've seen the documents. They've reported it that Democratic operatives smeared engage in a false flag campaign to make it appear like the Russians were popping up Republicans and the national media in the US ran with it how that's not a crime is beyond me That's interfering in elections and we know it and this group is still being cited. They're smearing Tulsi Gabbard, right? Yeah An NBC News article came out saying that Russians are you know, if take a notice of her campaign are promoting it same group Still running the story Damn how that's not a crime is mind-blowing to me, but the New York Times reported it so it's at this point It's like I mean, I think we have to be aware that there's so much manipulation going on right now From almost every angle. Oh, yeah So I mean and what's hilarious is that people look at what's going on with Russian troll factories? And you know the way they're trying to influence our elections that it's Particularly egregious. Yeah, where we do that shit Oh totally plus and I'm pretty sure we we learned about the US doing it well before we learned Russia was doing it And I'd be willing to bet the US started it
