That's why I get, so I mean if you, Barack Obama's entire cabinet came from an email from Citigroup, okay, so people trying to say that somehow corruption started on January 20th, not 2017, are fooling themselves and that's what I'm fighting against on my show. Yes, you are and you're one of the only people that are doing that. You're one of the only people that are online that you, you're not obligated to shill for the left. Right. You're not doing it, but everybody else seems to be, I don't mean everybody else if you're one of the people that are not like, fuck you Joe Rogan. Is it just a handful of people who are not Joe? So few, there's so few that are calling out people in the Democratic Party for what really is going on. Like I was infuriated when people that I knew that I was friends with were trying to tell me that that Hillary Clinton was a good choice. That's the same choice. I'm like, look, I don't know if she's murdered people, but I know that I worry that she's murdered people. That's a real, I really wonder. Like this Seth rich shit. I know. First of all, just leave, you don't even need to go there. You know, so many other things. So so many other things that we know for a fact. The Clinton Foundation, for instance. So the Iraq war, I'm old enough, Joe, to remember when being for the Iraq war was a disqualifier in a Democratic primary. That's where I'm from. That's why she lost to Barack Obama the first goddamn time she ran. And all of a sudden we're supposed to. Now people like Joy Behar says, that's a long time ago. Forget about it. Why don't you go tell that to a soldier's to a mother who's got a dead soldier? Why don't you go tell them that it will just died in an illegal war? Why don't you go tell that to a couple hundred thousand Iraqis who are dead? Get over it. It was a long time ago. Anyway, so I remember when that that also the Bill Clinton was no friend to the working man. In fact, he was this demise starting of the demise of this country. So Bill, you know, Ronald Reagan scared the shit out of the Democrats so much that they decided to become like them. And so what Bill Clinton did was he got in bed with Wall Street, the military industrial complex, big pharma, health insurance and the Koch brothers. He started a thing called the Democratic Leadership Council with Al Gore. They had executives from the Koch brothers on the Democratic Leadership Council. They completely turned their back on the working man. And what happens when you have two parties that are in bed with management? You get Donald Trump. That's exactly what happened. They gutted welfare at the same time they explored the prison population, called black kids super predators at the same time they did NAFTA. And then they deregulated Wall Street, which crashed the economy within 10 years. That's what Democrats did. Democrats did shit that Ronald Reagan could only fucking dream about in his wet dreams. They couldn't pass NAFTA. George Bush couldn't pass NAFTA. It took Bill Clinton to do it. Bill Clinton gave the cover to the other corporate Democrats to go along with it. So that was the beginning of the end for the working class in America. In fact, now, you know, I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. And that's why a lot of people on the left came after me and they still do. Well, it was confusing to me that you were saying, hey, if you want to vote for a real progressive, what about Jill Stein? Yeah, if you vote for a party, both here's a pro program you actually agree with the great new deal. Right. So and we know it's like, no, that's a you're throwing away your vote. Like how are you throwing away your vote? So we all know for a fact because of the WikiLeaks emails that Hillary Clinton had a thing called the Pied Piper strategy, which was she told her minions in the press, please prop up Donald Trump, prop him up. Why did she want Donald Trump to be propped up? Because she wanted to run against Donald Trump because she knew that she was so repulsive to most of the country. She needed someone who was more repulsive than her. Turns out that was a bad calculation. It was a terrible calculation. So that's called the Pied Piper strategy. And everybody that's why you turn on Chris Hayes and he would show Donald Trump's empty podium for an hour instead of a Bernie Sanders. And then he wags his finger at people with no money and no power for not voting for a corporatist warmonger like Hillary Clinton, who just why why do you think the people in Michigan wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton? Maybe because she put half of them in fucking prison because she passed NAFTA and Barack Obama was trying to sell TPP at the top of his lungs. At the same time, she was trying to get working people to vote for her. They know what the fuck was going on. And that's why if the country doesn't vote, but you're going to wag your finger at the people who actually do vote, who come out and vote their conscience and they don't fucking prop up evil. You know what the voting for lesser of two evil gets you Donald fucking Trump. Well, there's also a really sneaky thing that happens where you have two parties and one of them you think of as this conservative warmongering party, which automatically makes the other party the enemy of that. Yeah, but they're not. They're not. Well, we have two pro war parties and that's the point. There's not an opposition party. They oppose Trump on the most ridiculous bullshit. They just voted for an extra hundred and sixty billion dollars to go to the war machine. One hundred and sixty billion. Let's remember Bernie Sanders wanted to pay for free college, which was somewhere around sixty five billion dollars. So and everybody said he's fucking crazy. How are you going to pay for that? They just did that in a blink of an eye. They passed one hundred and sixty billion dollars to a war machine that we don't have an enemy to fight. You know Russia spent sixty five billion dollars a year on their military. They're a paper tiger. We got no fucking enemies out there. We have to keep inventing them. And the last the last enemy they invented was Isis Isis. I don't know if we're supposed to shit our pants over them, Joe, because they have kitchen knives. They'll cut your head off with a kitchen knife. That's what I'm supposed to be afraid of. What the fuck? It's amazing how they can keep us scared so they can keep perpetual war going. This is an Orwellian nightmare and the Democrats right now should be screaming about the Pentagon budget, but they're not screaming about it because they're complicit. They're in it. And that's what's wrong with this country. That's why we can't have nice things. So when when they tell you that you were broke and we can't afford stuff, they don't mean we can't afford trillion dollar wars, trillion dollar bank bailout, billion dollar oil subsidies and prison construction. That's not what they mean. They mean we can't afford shit like health care or education or roads or bridges or firemen or libraries or anything that makes your fucking life better because whenever they need bombs, they got it. Hey, we're broke for Social Security. We're broke for Medicare. How about for bombs? Oh, we got bomb money. We keep it right to our fucking drinking money because we're not really in a war in the sense of like World War Two or World War One. We're in this weird war of it's like a calculated throw economic wars. Yeah, they're all. So we went into Iraq for the for the oil. Libya is because he wanted to go off the petrodollar. But it is stunning how much funding this kind of war gets versus all the different social programs that we need in this country. Yes. Infrastructure programs. Yes. And people always think like, well, how are you going to pay for that? We don't have to spend any more money. We can actually spend less money. We don't have to spend 750 billion dollars a year on a military that's bloated. We have thousand bases around the country, around the world. We don't even know how many bases there are because lots of them are secret. So what do you say to the argument that we need them in order to stay safe? It's not true. That's the big argument, right? The big argument is this is the way we we've destroyed ISIS because ISIS was on their way to building up. We invented ISIS. We invented Al Qaeda and then we invented ISIS. We certainly aided in their development, their development. And then we then we directly funded them. We don't know the whole Mujahideen story, which Osama bin Laden was our guy. That's our guy. He was our guy. He was an anti Russian anti Russian terror, anti Russian freedom fighter is what they called Osama bin Laden. And then all of a sudden they didn't need him anymore. So why? And we're still in Afghanistan. Seventeen years later, three more years that war gets a gold watch. And what do they do? I mean, what what do they do to get us out of there? I mean, literally, what is what is there? There is no there is no exit strategy. It never was an exit strategy. There's no exit strategy from the Mideast. In fact, they just announced we're going to be permanently in Syria. So and by the way, the Syrian war is complete bullshit. Those gas attacks now have been completely debunked. I didn't believe in the first time. What happened during those gas attacks? So what that's called a false flag. So what happens is they wanted the United States to come in on their side to bomb Assad, to overthrow him. And so what they would do is they would do a gas attack on their own people and then blame him on Assad. And then this has been proven. Yes. They did it. Yes. And then this Christ and the first time was in, I think, 2013 and Barack Obama wanted to bomb and and I knew it was bullshit then. You remember when everybody freaked out about that? Yes. And then he didn't bomb them. Yeah. Remember, he didn't get to bomb them because he was like, fuck you. Yes. He was. Let's put it to a vote in the Congress and the people don't want war Joe. So the people said, fuck you. And he was like, hmm, we're going to do it anyway. That's what they did it anyway. They bombed. They dropped so many bombs on Syria. They ran out of bombs. That's a fact. Right. So the Air Force was out of bomb. Which year was this? So was it 2015 that they dropped so many bombs in the Mideast? They ran out of bombs. That's just a fucking fact. Look, if you buy all these bombs, you got to use them. I mean, what are you going to do with them? They're just going to sit around. And what if somebody accidentally sets one off while they're in American soil? I don't want that. You can't have that happen. So and here's the weird thing that the left is doing right now. They're attacking Donald Trump from the right. And what do I mean by that? So when they want. So they say Donald Trump is a Putin puppet. And the only way you can prove you're not a Putin puppet is you got to bomb somebody. You got to bomb Syria. Remember that? They were like, oh, he's president today because he bombed Syria. Remember that fucking Brian Williams almost nutted in his pants. Well, all he bombed was airstrips. So that's what they're saying. Right. So they go, oh, oh, they bombed airstrips. Oh, you didn't. You bombed the old planes and not the new planes. So what that is. You're attacking Donald Trump from the right because left people are supposed to be for detente and you're supposed to be antiwar and anti anti empire. So when you attack Donald Trump, oh, you didn't really bomb them. You're attacking them from the right. You're saying he should be more militaristic, which is fucked up. Well, it supports the argument that everything is circular, right? That as far right as you get, as far left as you get, you really come to some sort of strange ideological point, like zero point. That can't be true, but not in this instance, because what's happening there is corporate right wing Democrats are attacking Trump for not being right enough. What you're talking about is where I'm at, where I'm antiwar. And then there's also antiwar, anti interventionist people on the right. So a lot of people voted for Donald Trump because of that, because he always said he was an anti interventionist. He was going to get us out of the Middle East. It was crazy to be there and bring our boys home and all. And that's why a lot of people did vote for Trump because of that. And that's why a lot of people said they felt more comfortable voting for Trump because he was because Hillary actually promised more war in Syria than he did. And that's turning out to be true because she wanted a no fly zone, which means we're going to shoot down a Russian jet. Are you fucking crazy? So I'm on the left antiwar. There's no antiwar movement in the country that's represented by a political party right now. And I'm on the left antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement. And I'm on the right antiwar movement.
