1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,910 As America ends one endless war. 2 00:00:02,910 --> 00:00:07,920 It seems as though they are about to enter into a second, much larger. 3 00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:14,639 War at the same time, they are doing the faithful job at destroying trust 4 00:00:14,850 --> 00:00:17,369 with their allies across the globe. 5 00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:22,049 Also on today's show, we talk about how the woke are eating their own. 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,600 Hey, it's Lucas skrobot and you're listening to the Lucas Skrobot show where we 7 00:00:27,659 --> 00:00:34,710 uncover purpose, pursue truth and own the future episode 257, September 15th, 2021. 8 00:00:35,265 --> 00:00:41,355 President Joe Biden is about to make an announcement in a couple hours. 9 00:00:41,355 --> 00:00:46,215 Sadly, we're not going to be able to cover it on today's show, but 10 00:00:46,215 --> 00:00:49,575 on the next episode, we I'm sure it's going to be a juicy one. 11 00:00:50,235 --> 00:00:52,905 This announcement that he's about to make, we're going to be covering it 12 00:00:53,265 --> 00:00:55,545 right around in the middle of the show. 13 00:00:56,940 --> 00:01:01,740 The announcement is likely to be, and it really is tying into everything 14 00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:06,270 that has been happening in the, in the middle east, in the globe. 15 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,570 And I was talking to someone today, a long-time listener of the 16 00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:16,320 show, him and I were exchanging some messages back and forth. 17 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,590 And he was saying, I don't think people realize how strategic. 18 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,570 Afghanistan is in the world and how important it is and how the things 19 00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:30,960 that are happening right now in Afghanistan over the last month and 20 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,000 will continue to happen as the year goes on and into 2022, et cetera. 21 00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:40,590 We do not realize the significance of this moment. 22 00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:48,510 I believe years from now, we will look back and we will grasp and understand. 23 00:01:50,054 --> 00:01:54,705 What we have just gone through and we'll be going through the next number 24 00:01:54,794 --> 00:01:59,085 of years when it comes to eight at change of the E-box of the globe. 25 00:01:59,085 --> 00:02:01,514 So in epoch, it is timed. 26 00:02:01,514 --> 00:02:07,514 It's a season and we are undergoing a change of the E-box of history. 27 00:02:07,514 --> 00:02:12,825 And I mean that you don't need to have a PhD to understand that everyone can look 28 00:02:12,825 --> 00:02:14,595 at the globe and see what is happening. 29 00:02:15,524 --> 00:02:20,084 Uh, 2020 with the Ronas running around all over the place, all the 30 00:02:20,084 --> 00:02:23,774 moves and the deltas and the alphas and the betas and the Gamma's. 31 00:02:23,774 --> 00:02:28,304 And I don't know, whatever, you know, little hashtag signs they have going on 32 00:02:28,304 --> 00:02:33,524 for it, but it doesn't take a genius to understand what is happening in the world. 33 00:02:33,555 --> 00:02:40,065 But we are going through a transition, a change of the times and seasons. 34 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,100 And what has happened in Afghanistan really is playing into that. 35 00:02:44,310 --> 00:02:49,610 Well, th th the story of Afghanistan has not ended where we have a couple 36 00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:55,230 short shovel, a couple clips from former president, Donald Trump about 37 00:02:55,650 --> 00:02:57,270 what's happened in Afghanistan. 38 00:02:57,390 --> 00:03:02,340 Uh, I've found this incredible interview of him from full measure, but before we 39 00:03:02,340 --> 00:03:06,570 get into that, the U N has been denied. 40 00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:13,470 Asylum and refugee status to Afghans who have fled the country without a passport. 41 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:20,760 Now there have been, I've earned these reports and people, many people in 42 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680 Afghanistan, they don't have passports. 43 00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:27,750 And we've covered on the show, how there was one passport office that before 44 00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:33,450 the fall of Kabul, the line was out the door for hundreds and hundreds of years. 45 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720 One guy trying to process all these passports. 46 00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:40,450 Many people don't have passports. 47 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,890 They can't get out of the country. 48 00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:48,940 Well, the UN under their own Geneva refugee convention, the 49 00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:51,880 U N H C R quote-unquote ensures. 50 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:58,180 This is a quote insurers, the basic human rights of vulnerable persons and ensures 51 00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:01,810 that refugees will not be involuntary. 52 00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:06,630 Returned to a country where they face persecution. 53 00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:14,610 So here are hundreds of people, thousands of people who have fled Afghanistan across 54 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:21,810 land borders at times, walking three, four days without, without passports to 55 00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:24,240 cross mountains, to cross through jungles. 56 00:04:25,980 --> 00:04:29,640 Do you get to places like Iran or like Pakistan? 57 00:04:30,465 --> 00:04:35,895 But they go to the UN office to apply for asylum because they don't have a passport. 58 00:04:35,895 --> 00:04:37,485 They only have their national ID card. 59 00:04:37,515 --> 00:04:40,125 They go to apply for asylum and what happens? 60 00:04:40,425 --> 00:04:43,995 They get turned away and they say, sorry, we can't give you a silent 61 00:04:43,995 --> 00:04:45,945 because you don't have a passport. 62 00:04:45,975 --> 00:04:48,345 And therefore, where are you going to go? 63 00:04:48,555 --> 00:04:51,975 You got to go all the way back to where you came from being 64 00:04:52,005 --> 00:04:56,925 forcibly returned because they're unable to get asylum in the U S. 65 00:04:58,210 --> 00:05:00,610 The U the UN is field. 66 00:05:00,669 --> 00:05:03,550 It is just, uh, it's a cesspool. 67 00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:05,050 It's a cesspool. 68 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,490 I like that word. 69 00:05:06,729 --> 00:05:07,900 It really is though. 70 00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:13,390 It is, it is an apparatus set up for global control. 71 00:05:14,409 --> 00:05:22,120 And from top to bottom, it is just it, everything that I've heard, 72 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,849 everything that I see it just reeks of. 73 00:05:28,099 --> 00:05:33,440 And the fact that the UN wouldn't be giving vulnerable Afghans who 74 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,740 are fleeing for their lives without passports, refugee status, it points 75 00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:41,300 to something much larger going on. 76 00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:46,190 And you know, the skeptic in me, the conspiracy theorist in me would say, 77 00:05:46,190 --> 00:05:48,950 well, there's probably a directive. 78 00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:50,539 There's probably a link somewhere. 79 00:05:52,039 --> 00:05:52,670 And whether it's. 80 00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:55,080 I don't know. 81 00:05:55,170 --> 00:06:00,510 I don't know what powers would want this to happen, but someone somewhere, 82 00:06:00,570 --> 00:06:05,820 it seems doesn't want these refugees being able to leave Afghanistan. 83 00:06:05,820 --> 00:06:11,700 They want to keep them in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule and more 84 00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:16,950 reports again are coming out that the Taliban are going and knocking door 85 00:06:16,950 --> 00:06:22,200 to door in many districts in Kabul and across many provinces enough. 86 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:22,350 God. 87 00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:30,940 Looking for former police officers, former government officers searching 88 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:40,150 and finding those who, who have betrayed in their, in their mind betrayed their 89 00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:43,240 people, betrayed the Taliban government. 90 00:06:44,469 --> 00:06:51,969 I saw a horrendous, horrendous video today of, of a man being stoned enough, gone. 91 00:06:53,375 --> 00:06:58,745 Hundreds of people surrounding this man as he's kneeling and throwing 92 00:06:59,345 --> 00:07:01,955 stones stone after stone after stone. 93 00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:06,215 This is, this is what people are fleeing in Afghanistan. 94 00:07:06,245 --> 00:07:13,415 Now, of course, I've, I've heard that the salty remarks of, of many, a conservative 95 00:07:13,415 --> 00:07:18,515 commentator about, uh, refugees coming into America, these Afghan refugees coming 96 00:07:18,515 --> 00:07:20,315 into America and their arguments are. 97 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:22,740 First, who are these people? 98 00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:24,840 We don't even know if they've been properly cleared. 99 00:07:25,230 --> 00:07:26,370 That's a valid point. 100 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,659 Second point they make, oh, we already have so much homeless in America. 101 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,200 Why don't we, why can't we take care of the homeless, homeless? 102 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,550 We're not taking care of them. 103 00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:35,940 Okay. 104 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,390 Yeah. 105 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:37,110 That's a valid point. 106 00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:38,909 We should probably take care of the homeless people too. 107 00:07:38,969 --> 00:07:42,750 And there are programs in America that are taking care of homeless people. 108 00:07:43,289 --> 00:07:47,940 This isn't a show about America so much, so I'm not going to dive 109 00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:50,100 deep into all of those issues. 110 00:07:51,359 --> 00:07:57,750 We have as, as a country, the point that I am making is that the situation 111 00:07:59,099 --> 00:08:04,349 that people are fleeing in Afghanistan is a situation where they will be 112 00:08:04,349 --> 00:08:10,620 stoned to death for their religious minority, their ethnic minority for 113 00:08:10,859 --> 00:08:12,930 their relationships, with the government. 114 00:08:14,919 --> 00:08:16,719 And there's a growing. 115 00:08:18,119 --> 00:08:23,580 Sources have reported to me that there is a growing sediment of anger 116 00:08:23,849 --> 00:08:29,250 towards the west, by those who were pretty moderate before because of the 117 00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:37,559 deep betrayal and abandonment that has happened in Saudi, in, in Afghanistan, 118 00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:39,360 the deep betrayal, the deeper. 119 00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:48,695 And it's going to boil over and it's going to turn against those immediately in the 120 00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:55,025 country who worked with the west and it is already happening is beginning to happen. 121 00:08:55,055 --> 00:08:59,645 This is what people are fleeing and here is the UN not even living up 122 00:08:59,645 --> 00:09:06,335 to their own mandate by essentially allowing people to be forcibly returned. 123 00:09:07,470 --> 00:09:11,910 Back to Afghanistan as even those Afghans in the surrounding nations 124 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,110 who have had existing visas, Africans into GICA stand to use. 125 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,260 Becca, Stan reports are coming that these nations will not be renewing their visas. 126 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,120 So what, what is to be done? 127 00:09:24,510 --> 00:09:29,100 Well, they will have to either find asylum in some other nation 128 00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:34,199 across the globe, or they will be returned to Afghanistan as well. 129 00:09:36,089 --> 00:09:36,300 It is. 130 00:09:40,365 --> 00:09:42,015 I mean saying that it's not a good deal. 131 00:09:42,285 --> 00:09:46,365 Falls short here's former president Trump. 132 00:09:47,595 --> 00:09:54,735 Donald Trump is saying what, what I feel in my, in the deepest parts of my heart. 133 00:09:55,435 --> 00:09:59,185 I think it's the most embarrassing event in the history of our country. 134 00:10:00,235 --> 00:10:03,235 It is the, it is, you know what it is. 135 00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:09,270 One of the most, probably the most embarrassing event in 136 00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:10,950 the history of our country. 137 00:10:12,450 --> 00:10:18,180 It is unspeakable the things that has happened, the things that we're seeing. 138 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:23,790 Here's another clip by Trump that really expresses my heart to, to the 139 00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:27,010 full measure competently handle thing. 140 00:10:27,010 --> 00:10:29,080 We had that in such good control. 141 00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:30,220 Yeah. 142 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,630 Incompetent. 143 00:10:33,015 --> 00:10:33,705 Competent. 144 00:10:34,125 --> 00:10:39,195 Well, on top of all of this incompetence, you may have heard 145 00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:44,895 that the U S military left billions, billions and billions and billions. 146 00:10:44,985 --> 00:10:45,405 I don't have that. 147 00:10:45,465 --> 00:10:45,945 I don't have that. 148 00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:47,145 Trump Quip on me right now. 149 00:10:47,595 --> 00:10:56,595 Billions of dollars of, of us military equipment behind in Afghanistan here. 150 00:10:56,625 --> 00:10:58,125 Here's here's president Donald. 151 00:11:00,104 --> 00:11:06,555 Billions and billions and billions and billions and billions and billions. 152 00:11:07,035 --> 00:11:10,814 Oh, we don't know how many billions and billions, but he left a lot. 153 00:11:11,175 --> 00:11:14,444 We, we left a lot of military equipment. 154 00:11:15,074 --> 00:11:20,354 The numbers are staggering, the number of black Hawks, the number of guns, 155 00:11:20,354 --> 00:11:23,805 everything that it's creating has given. 156 00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:31,630 The Taliban, an army that would rival most other armies across the 157 00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:36,280 globe, but it's not only these, this military equipment, all these 158 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,510 Humvees, hundreds of Humvees that were left behind, maybe even thousands. 159 00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:41,950 I don't, I don't have the numbers in front of me. 160 00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:45,220 They're not staying in Afghanistan. 161 00:11:45,310 --> 00:11:46,750 They're going other places. 162 00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:47,890 Where are they going? 163 00:11:48,220 --> 00:11:53,170 Ah, Iran, we already mentioned there were, there were pictures of envoys. 164 00:11:55,550 --> 00:12:00,140 Humphreys being driven down into Iran, going into China, going into 165 00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:05,000 Russia, curious president Donald Trump mentioning just this on 166 00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:07,160 this interview by full measure. 167 00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:11,690 I should have saved those 13 people plus 200 people. 168 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,620 And we should've taken out all our equipment, everything. 169 00:12:15,950 --> 00:12:17,570 And I said, I want every bolt. 170 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,830 I want every screw. 171 00:12:18,830 --> 00:12:19,760 I want every nail. 172 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,690 I want everything. 173 00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:21,560 I want those. 174 00:12:22,515 --> 00:12:27,495 They're all over the place and maybe you have to go back and get it. 175 00:12:28,245 --> 00:12:31,395 Now I'm saying, how can they take this equipment? 176 00:12:31,694 --> 00:12:35,865 And I guarantee the China and Russia already have our 177 00:12:35,895 --> 00:12:38,555 Apache helicopters and their. 178 00:12:39,675 --> 00:12:42,525 They're taking them apart to find out exactly how they're made. 179 00:12:42,525 --> 00:12:45,945 They're the best in the world by far, and they're taking them apart so they 180 00:12:45,945 --> 00:12:47,655 can make the exact same equipment. 181 00:12:48,075 --> 00:12:49,095 They're very good at that. 182 00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:50,295 It's a disgrace. 183 00:12:50,775 --> 00:12:56,265 It is a disgrace and they, for sure, for sure they are taking these, these Humvees, 184 00:12:56,265 --> 00:13:00,255 these black Hawk helicopters, they're this assembly in reverse engineering, 185 00:13:00,495 --> 00:13:02,205 everything that has been left. 186 00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:10,310 This is, this is a shocking monumental moment in global 187 00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:12,140 history and military history. 188 00:13:12,290 --> 00:13:16,640 And I'm sure people are going to write about this just as we read in history 189 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:22,010 books of how the great empires of old fell because of overextending or making 190 00:13:22,939 --> 00:13:26,210 rash decisions to pull back as they did. 191 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080 I read a headline today saying that that. 192 00:13:30,465 --> 00:13:37,635 And other military advisors advised president Joe Biden to do a slow and 193 00:13:37,635 --> 00:13:40,155 steady withdrawal out of Afghanistan. 194 00:13:40,155 --> 00:13:45,645 But instead he decided to note August 31st, we are all out. 195 00:13:45,685 --> 00:13:51,194 This is this not only has, but will continue to hurt 196 00:13:51,285 --> 00:13:53,385 relationships with our allies. 197 00:13:53,385 --> 00:13:57,704 As our allies within the region are looking at the chaos that has had. 198 00:13:58,814 --> 00:14:05,685 In Kabul and they have already, are you decided that we need to safeguard 199 00:14:05,685 --> 00:14:12,584 ourselves in the instance, in the, the likely case that we too are abandoned 200 00:14:12,795 --> 00:14:17,954 by the United States, when it no longer suits or fits their interests. 201 00:14:17,985 --> 00:14:20,775 And this is exactly what is already happening. 202 00:14:20,805 --> 00:14:23,834 Even this week, headlines. 203 00:14:25,545 --> 00:14:30,795 Reporting that the us has removed its most advanced missile defense system 204 00:14:31,064 --> 00:14:34,425 and Patriot batteries from Saudi Arabia. 205 00:14:34,425 --> 00:14:39,314 One of the biggest allies and as it's now being returned to quote unquote 206 00:14:39,375 --> 00:14:46,515 security partners in the middle east, Saudi Arabia being such a power balance. 207 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,290 In the middle east, bringing so much stability to the middle east America 208 00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:56,790 is now pulling their batteries, pulling their Patriot missiles. 209 00:14:57,270 --> 00:15:02,970 Even as Saudi Arabia is currently facing air attacks from the Yemen 210 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:10,350 Boothies and from it via a proxy war from Iran here is, uh, the world is. 211 00:15:12,104 --> 00:15:22,364 Uh, reporting on just these attacks where the timing is, is strange in that there's, 212 00:15:22,635 --> 00:15:25,125 there is so much unbalanced in the region. 213 00:15:25,334 --> 00:15:27,405 Why would you continue to withdraw troops? 214 00:15:27,405 --> 00:15:29,295 But it seems to be pointing. 215 00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:34,020 To something much greater that is happening beneath the 216 00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:35,370 surface in the world today. 217 00:15:35,370 --> 00:15:39,360 And we, we mentioned that touched on that a little earlier in the episode, 218 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,070 but here's the world is one news. 219 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,290 The withdrawal of us defense equipment from Saudi Arabia comes just as a 220 00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:50,910 Hootie drone attack, wounded eight people and damaged a commercial 221 00:15:50,910 --> 00:15:53,570 jetliner at the kingdom's airport in. 222 00:15:55,125 --> 00:15:58,635 The kingdom has been locked in a sail mates war with the Hootie since 223 00:15:58,635 --> 00:16:06,105 March, 2015, the prince Sultan air base, some 115 kilometers Southeast of 224 00:16:06,105 --> 00:16:08,655 Riyadh has hosted several thousands. 225 00:16:08,685 --> 00:16:13,815 Us troops since the two thousands of 19 Misael and drew an attack on the 226 00:16:13,815 --> 00:16:16,095 heart of the kingdom's oil production. 227 00:16:16,815 --> 00:16:21,465 That attack though claims by Yemen's who rebels appears instead 228 00:16:21,495 --> 00:16:23,325 to have been carried out by Iran. 229 00:16:23,870 --> 00:16:31,670 According to experts and physical debris left behind it wouldn't surprise me if 230 00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:36,800 the, the shift that we're seeing right now in the middle east has a lot to do 231 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:44,209 with president Joe Biden's position and stance on where he sees, or I don't know 232 00:16:44,209 --> 00:16:49,040 if he would see them as allies, but it would seem that he would lay his chips 233 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,290 warm as when he was vice-president. 234 00:16:51,620 --> 00:16:52,730 You remember the Iran? 235 00:16:54,315 --> 00:17:01,395 All the way that I believe fell apart in 2005, reviving the 2015 nuclear 236 00:17:01,395 --> 00:17:08,115 deal in Iran that Biden headed up, giving, giving Iran billions of dollars 237 00:17:08,204 --> 00:17:15,235 to develop nuclear weapons, which drastically Curt our relations or 238 00:17:15,235 --> 00:17:17,595 the U S relations in the middle east. 239 00:17:19,365 --> 00:17:27,135 Iran is, is waging a war with Saudi Arabia via Yemen via Huth fees. 240 00:17:28,605 --> 00:17:33,255 So it wouldn't surprise me if this is a change in policy, in part by 241 00:17:33,255 --> 00:17:39,615 the Biden administration, moving away from really our, our U S allies in 242 00:17:39,615 --> 00:17:45,255 the region, the west allies in the region, and moving towards a new set 243 00:17:45,255 --> 00:17:47,115 of allies, which would be Iran, which. 244 00:17:49,145 --> 00:17:55,535 Maybe this is conspiracy, but it would seem that the events that unfolded and the 245 00:17:55,535 --> 00:18:04,175 just complete abandonment of Afghanistan really plays into giving power to a whole 246 00:18:04,175 --> 00:18:11,645 nother set of, of, of world powers, which would be Iran, Russia, and China giving 247 00:18:11,645 --> 00:18:13,865 that, that power balance back to them. 248 00:18:16,055 --> 00:18:18,725 At meme that just may not be true, that may not be accurate. 249 00:18:18,725 --> 00:18:22,715 And the reason that may not be accurate, it might just not be Biden, 250 00:18:22,775 --> 00:18:26,105 handing everything over to China on a silver platter, even though it was 251 00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:30,155 handed over, that might not have been his expressed intent as there's more 252 00:18:30,155 --> 00:18:36,065 people than just Biden that are making decisions in this, in the decisions 253 00:18:36,065 --> 00:18:37,415 that are happening within the military. 254 00:18:39,044 --> 00:18:43,754 Back to Saudi Arabia, they are in a, a proxy war and a power 255 00:18:43,935 --> 00:18:50,024 balance between Iran, especially with the proxy war in Yemen. 256 00:18:50,625 --> 00:18:56,415 It doesn't seem to be a great time, especially on the heels of the abandonment 257 00:18:56,415 --> 00:18:58,395 of Kabul, the what its community. 258 00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:05,700 Is distrust here is another clip from that same segment of WYON news analysts. 259 00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,300 Believe America's Gulf allies are bounds to be worried. 260 00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:14,490 Christian Ulriksen a research fellow at rice university says, 261 00:19:14,550 --> 00:19:19,290 quote, the perception is very clear that the us is not as committed 262 00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:20,790 to the Gulf as it used to be. 263 00:19:21,584 --> 00:19:27,074 And the views of many people in decision making authority in the region from 264 00:19:27,074 --> 00:19:32,084 the Saudi point of view, they now see Obama Trump ans Biden, three successive 265 00:19:32,084 --> 00:19:38,475 precedents taking decisions that signify to some extent and abandonment on quotes. 266 00:19:39,074 --> 00:19:41,415 Everyone has been quoting this Christian. 267 00:19:42,210 --> 00:19:43,800 Coats overage sin. 268 00:19:44,190 --> 00:19:48,780 Uh, and I, I found a piece that he just wrote for LG zero, and I'm going 269 00:19:48,780 --> 00:19:55,050 to read some segments from his article as he lays it out pretty straight. 270 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,550 He lays it out pretty flat. 271 00:19:56,730 --> 00:20:03,210 The, the impression that the powers in the middle east are getting the fears 272 00:20:03,210 --> 00:20:08,310 that they have about the change of wood. 273 00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:10,440 It seems to be the change of commitment and the change of policy. 274 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:14,790 Of us foreign policy towards the middle east. 275 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,820 He writes, again, this is a couple of different segments from this article in 276 00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:23,400 Al Jazeera that he wrote in Saudi's eyes. 277 00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:31,050 The perceived us abandonment of the gypsum president Husseini, robotic, a standing 278 00:20:31,050 --> 00:20:35,760 regional partner to the Arab spring, the willingness of the Obama administration 279 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,410 to engage with Islamic groups. 280 00:20:38,205 --> 00:20:42,405 The Saudis viewed as a threat and the subsequent revelation of the 281 00:20:42,405 --> 00:20:48,585 secret us dialogues with Iran in 2012 and 2013 were rather greater 282 00:20:48,585 --> 00:20:51,015 concern than the fallout of nine 11. 283 00:20:51,345 --> 00:20:57,645 So there's been a history here going back to 2012, 13 when we saw, and 284 00:20:57,645 --> 00:21:02,655 even before in the Arab spring, America abandoned president post 285 00:21:02,655 --> 00:21:05,505 knee in the Arab spring Bandon. 286 00:21:08,054 --> 00:21:15,615 Starting to having secret talks with Iran, their enemy in 2012, 13 started 287 00:21:15,615 --> 00:21:23,105 this Iran deal and it's greatly damaged the relationships within the region. 288 00:21:23,225 --> 00:21:28,385 It goes on to an extent, this is a repeat of the perceived abandonment of their 289 00:21:28,385 --> 00:21:32,675 interests by the Obama administration, but with greater substance this time around, 290 00:21:32,675 --> 00:21:36,095 especially after Trump did not only. 291 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,870 After Trump not only did not respond to the Uranian linked attack on the 292 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:48,510 Saudi oil facilities in 2019, but also made a point of distinguishing 293 00:21:48,630 --> 00:21:51,240 between Saudi and us interests. 294 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,390 So this is when the attack that we just heard from WYON of the drone 295 00:21:57,390 --> 00:21:59,760 attract attack on the Saudi oil. 296 00:22:00,645 --> 00:22:02,055 America did not respond. 297 00:22:02,055 --> 00:22:03,615 They said that's Saudi's interest. 298 00:22:03,825 --> 00:22:05,085 That's not our interests. 299 00:22:05,265 --> 00:22:11,625 We are not going to enter fear, which a lot of people are probably glad about. 300 00:22:11,625 --> 00:22:16,005 They don't want to see America further interfering or further overextending 301 00:22:16,005 --> 00:22:17,565 themselves than they need to. 302 00:22:17,565 --> 00:22:22,575 But it's also assigned to the powers here in the middle east that. 303 00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:25,500 There's a shift. 304 00:22:25,620 --> 00:22:29,820 There's a shift in a relationship going on in America is thinking differently about 305 00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:34,740 the relationships within the middle east, including president Donald Trump poop. 306 00:22:35,550 --> 00:22:41,400 I will say he sided far more with the Saudis and with the Gulf 307 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,340 countries then with Iran versus president Biden and president Obama. 308 00:22:48,090 --> 00:22:51,450 So there is a big difference, but he has a great point to your. 309 00:22:52,650 --> 00:22:57,750 President Donald Trump had a shift in some of the ways that he saw America 310 00:22:57,780 --> 00:23:03,360 engaging with the rest of the world, especially engaging with the middle east. 311 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:05,340 He goes, Andre. 312 00:23:05,370 --> 00:23:10,110 This came as a shock to the leadership in reauth and Abu Dhabi, which had 313 00:23:10,140 --> 00:23:14,850 long assumed that through us interest in regional security or one, and the 314 00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:20,490 same, especially on any issue that had to do with Iran as they had done. 315 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,450 Commercing military operations as they had done when commencing military operations 316 00:23:27,450 --> 00:23:34,080 in Yemen in 2015, excuse me, such measures were deemed necessary in the wake of the 317 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:41,520 chaotic us withdrawal from Afghanistan and the widespread assump assumption in reauth 318 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,920 and elsewhere in the region that the U S is in retreat from the middle east. 319 00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:49,860 Here is gears. 320 00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:53,790 If you have not been listening, tune your ears back in and 321 00:23:53,790 --> 00:23:55,260 listen to the sentence here. 322 00:23:56,189 --> 00:24:02,250 Sure enough, the crown Prince's brother and deputy defense minister Khaleed 323 00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:09,000 bin, signed a military cooperation agreement with Russia within days 324 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,310 of the fall of Kabul within days. 325 00:24:12,665 --> 00:24:15,845 The fall of couple is not just the fall of couple in Afghanistan. 326 00:24:16,085 --> 00:24:25,175 It is a sign to the leaders of the Arab world that America is no longer engaging 327 00:24:25,745 --> 00:24:32,705 and viewing their relationships, their ties with the Arab world as they once did. 328 00:24:32,765 --> 00:24:33,485 This is eight. 329 00:24:33,845 --> 00:24:39,005 This is a massive shift of epoch of policy for America. 330 00:24:40,455 --> 00:24:46,905 Uh, moving forward here is a clip, a clip from a Turkey. 331 00:24:47,264 --> 00:24:51,375 Pfizer, who is the Saudi prince is Saudi prince. 332 00:24:52,215 --> 00:24:57,554 The kingdom's former intelligence, chief whose who's really view 333 00:24:57,554 --> 00:24:59,865 often is on track in mirrors. 334 00:25:00,044 --> 00:25:03,254 What the Saudi family is thinking and feeling. 335 00:25:03,254 --> 00:25:06,584 He did this interview with CNBC. 336 00:25:08,295 --> 00:25:14,535 America pulling out their batteries from Saudi Arabia at this time. 337 00:25:15,075 --> 00:25:18,405 I think, I think we need to be reassured about American commitment. 338 00:25:19,215 --> 00:25:20,205 What does that look like? 339 00:25:20,655 --> 00:25:23,355 That looks like, for example, not withdrawing Patriot 340 00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,795 missiles from Saudi Arabia. 341 00:25:25,485 --> 00:25:29,985 Uh, at the time when Saudi Arabia is the victim of missile attacks 342 00:25:30,014 --> 00:25:33,975 and drone attacks, not just from the Yemen, but from Iran. 343 00:25:34,665 --> 00:25:35,565 Um, I think. 344 00:25:36,675 --> 00:25:43,635 Th that was not indicative of America's declared intention, 345 00:25:44,205 --> 00:25:48,465 uh, to help Saudi Arabia defend itself against outside enemies. 346 00:25:49,034 --> 00:25:57,074 Um, that is what I would expect America, hopefully to come back and tell us that 347 00:25:57,104 --> 00:26:01,155 yes, we are committed to you and we will deploy whatever is needed for that. 348 00:26:01,965 --> 00:26:10,649 Um, You know, the kingdom had to, to, to seek other, uh, support in that Russia 349 00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:15,720 to bow, to, to bolster our air defenses against these attacks from Iran and from, 350 00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:20,399 from the, the, the Houthis in Yemen, uh, where we would have preferred that. 351 00:26:21,165 --> 00:26:24,195 It would be America who would be doing better than others. 352 00:26:24,735 --> 00:26:30,525 Uh, and that is something I think that the administration has to consider seriously 353 00:26:30,555 --> 00:26:35,865 now, especially after Afghanistan and what happened and what is happening in Cabo. 354 00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:41,565 And it's not just Saudi Arabia, the other Gulf states or equally vulnerable. 355 00:26:42,165 --> 00:26:46,965 We've seen attacks on tankers in, in the Gulf, uh, by Iran. 356 00:26:47,385 --> 00:26:49,305 Uh, and yet. 357 00:26:50,955 --> 00:26:53,295 Comes in response from, from, from America. 358 00:26:53,325 --> 00:26:54,105 This is a problem. 359 00:26:54,465 --> 00:26:57,765 Now whether the Biden administration will come through with that, I have no 360 00:26:57,765 --> 00:27:02,655 idea, but it is something I think that they should consider just to reassure us 361 00:27:03,375 --> 00:27:06,795 that we can rely on the United States. 362 00:27:08,534 --> 00:27:11,475 Everything that he's saying here is we need assurances. 363 00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:14,054 We need to show currencies that we can rely on the United States. 364 00:27:14,324 --> 00:27:17,804 And then in the same breath, he's saying we don't have assurances. 365 00:27:17,985 --> 00:27:19,725 When our oil tankers are attained. 366 00:27:19,965 --> 00:27:23,745 It doesn't seem like there's any response from the United States. 367 00:27:24,074 --> 00:27:27,645 When we are in a time of need, they are there, or point out support. 368 00:27:29,175 --> 00:27:32,535 The U S government has said we are maintaining strong ties. 369 00:27:32,805 --> 00:27:34,965 We're maintaining a strong relationship. 370 00:27:34,995 --> 00:27:39,975 We're maintaining troops on the ground, but this erosion that's 371 00:27:39,975 --> 00:27:43,845 happening right now in Saudi of the pulling out of these batteries. 372 00:27:44,235 --> 00:27:51,915 It is not just an erosion of military presence, but isn't an erosion of. 373 00:27:53,024 --> 00:28:01,064 And it is causing deep seated doubt to, to begin to grow in the wondering of will 374 00:28:01,095 --> 00:28:05,235 America, will America back their allies? 375 00:28:05,264 --> 00:28:11,685 Well, you have to ask, I have been asking if America has Joe Biden, 376 00:28:11,955 --> 00:28:14,024 president Joe Biden has said is. 377 00:28:15,675 --> 00:28:18,735 He made multiple statements, seeing how we, we need to 378 00:28:18,735 --> 00:28:20,475 focus elsewhere in the world. 379 00:28:20,655 --> 00:28:24,855 We need to change our focus away from the war of Afghanistan, 380 00:28:25,064 --> 00:28:26,595 into other growing threats. 381 00:28:26,595 --> 00:28:31,334 And then he would mention Al Shabaab and all these other terrorist organizations. 382 00:28:31,605 --> 00:28:39,615 But when they're now pulling out more, more military assets out of, uh, uh, 383 00:28:39,645 --> 00:28:41,865 out of the middle east, you have to. 384 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,580 Where are they turning to what, what new threat is coming? 385 00:28:47,790 --> 00:28:53,010 That it was so urgent to pull troops out by the 31st, which I don't think 386 00:28:53,010 --> 00:28:56,280 there was any threat that was so urgent that they needed to just totally 387 00:28:56,610 --> 00:28:58,830 abandoned Afghanistan as they did. 388 00:29:00,180 --> 00:29:05,190 But it's clear that there's something else that's brew brewing here is a final clip. 389 00:29:06,945 --> 00:29:09,255 Is one questions arise. 390 00:29:09,285 --> 00:29:12,975 Why has the U S pulled out its weapon system from Saudi 391 00:29:12,975 --> 00:29:15,105 Arabia at this sensitive time? 392 00:29:15,765 --> 00:29:19,695 It has the us shifted its focus from the Gulf to Asia, 393 00:29:20,715 --> 00:29:25,035 the U S move isn't unexpected earlier this year, the pentacle. 394 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,380 So said that certain defense systems may be pulled out from the middle 395 00:29:29,380 --> 00:29:35,230 east, both Arab nations, worry about America's future plans as its military 396 00:29:35,230 --> 00:29:40,300 perceives a growing threat in Asia that requires those missile defenses. 397 00:29:40,870 --> 00:29:45,760 Every deployment of the missiles had been rumored for months in parts due 398 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,530 to a desire to face what American officials see as the looming great 399 00:29:50,530 --> 00:29:52,840 powers conflict with China and Russia. 400 00:29:54,375 --> 00:29:57,735 Us claims it's, hasn't abandoned its Gulf allies. 401 00:29:58,995 --> 00:30:02,445 So it's good that the U claimed that it hasn't abandoned its golf allies. 402 00:30:02,505 --> 00:30:09,135 And it's clear that they are focusing on what they see to be a greater 403 00:30:09,135 --> 00:30:11,745 threat, which would be China, China. 404 00:30:11,745 --> 00:30:14,355 And there's, you know, the quad we've talked about the pod before, 405 00:30:14,355 --> 00:30:19,605 which would be India, Australia, America, and, oh my goodness. 406 00:30:19,635 --> 00:30:21,795 I forgot the fourth of the quad, probably the UK. 407 00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:25,050 Um, uh, Japan, excuse me, Japan. 408 00:30:25,110 --> 00:30:31,500 The quad there's the quad that is pressing up against China. 409 00:30:31,530 --> 00:30:36,270 W we've talked about this with the belt and road that China, the initiative 410 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,060 of establishing trade and economic dominance across the globe, which is 411 00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:47,760 with a lot of the conflict that is happening right now in the south Pacific, 412 00:30:48,659 --> 00:30:50,220 I guess it would be the Indo-Pacific. 413 00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:53,660 It has to do with the belt and road. 414 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,540 It has to do with trade routes because was trade routes means power. 415 00:31:00,590 --> 00:31:06,650 So America is beginning to shift away from the middle east and to this rise 416 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:13,040 and looming power of China, which it still would stand in my, in my 417 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,480 calculations, as I have said, why are you pulling out of Afghanistan 418 00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:20,150 and giving these military asks. 419 00:31:20,925 --> 00:31:21,825 To China. 420 00:31:22,095 --> 00:31:29,535 Why don't you keep a, a base there in Afghanistan to be able to, in 421 00:31:29,535 --> 00:31:34,425 the event that you do go to war with China, heaven forbid that 422 00:31:34,425 --> 00:31:38,205 you have a strategic stronghold. 423 00:31:38,205 --> 00:31:41,325 You want to have a relationship with that government. 424 00:31:41,565 --> 00:31:42,975 It's not an occupation. 425 00:31:42,975 --> 00:31:48,075 It's not an occupying force, but it's a relationship where you can maintain. 426 00:31:49,064 --> 00:31:54,794 An base is strategic airbase to act as a, as a counterpoint 427 00:31:55,304 --> 00:31:59,054 to China's ever growing force. 428 00:31:59,175 --> 00:32:04,094 Well, as this, as this WYON clip has mentioned multiple times that 429 00:32:04,094 --> 00:32:09,165 through focusing to China, there's breaking news coming out today of 430 00:32:09,314 --> 00:32:13,514 Australia and America, making a. 431 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,850 A trilateral try is being called a trilateral lateral security partnership. 432 00:32:21,090 --> 00:32:26,850 That's involving the U S the UK and Australia to do advance their defense 433 00:32:26,879 --> 00:32:29,610 capabilities in the Indo-Pacific. 434 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,220 This is why they're pulling those batteries out to build up their 435 00:32:35,220 --> 00:32:37,680 defense systems in the Indo-Pacific. 436 00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:42,060 As they're growing threats, one being North Korea, it has been growing. 437 00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:45,390 It is a growing threat. 438 00:32:45,390 --> 00:32:50,040 They have launched a number of missiles that have struck their 439 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,810 targets and they have been emboldened even in the last few days of 440 00:32:54,810 --> 00:32:57,630 launching two missiles towards Japan. 441 00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:04,920 But it seems that it's, it's more, it's far more than just North Korea. 442 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,550 It is China and Taiwan is in that. 443 00:33:09,345 --> 00:33:15,705 Of course, but here is sky news Australia with a breaking report. 444 00:33:16,515 --> 00:33:20,565 Federal cabinet ministers have been granted border exemptions to fly to 445 00:33:20,565 --> 00:33:25,275 Canberra in order to attend an urgent top secret meeting defense minister pay 446 00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:29,565 data and foreign affairs minister Marise Payne who were currently in Washington. 447 00:33:30,070 --> 00:33:34,600 Series of meetings, a sit to have joined via video link opposition leader, 448 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,730 Anthony Albanese and three others. 449 00:33:36,730 --> 00:33:41,409 Senior shadow ministers were also briefed on the highly sensitive matter. 450 00:33:41,860 --> 00:33:46,930 OPM is expected to address the nation at 7:00 AM, Australian Eastern standard time. 451 00:33:47,230 --> 00:33:51,580 At the same time, U S president Joe Biden is set to make a national security 452 00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:56,379 announcement involving Australia and national security announcement. 453 00:33:57,745 --> 00:34:00,045 We got to end one, endless war. 454 00:34:00,105 --> 00:34:04,965 Why to start another endless war, a real, a real war. 455 00:34:05,205 --> 00:34:06,165 Not that Afghanistan. 456 00:34:06,165 --> 00:34:09,465 Wasn't a real war by I'm talking about a world war. 457 00:34:09,975 --> 00:34:11,475 This is what they're, they're looking at. 458 00:34:11,685 --> 00:34:17,715 They're looking at creating an Alliance to defend against what could be a world war 459 00:34:18,675 --> 00:34:22,215 with China's growing ambitions globally. 460 00:34:23,205 --> 00:34:24,735 Now, I, I love that. 461 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,520 I've been there. 462 00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:27,630 It's an amazing place. 463 00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,880 Amazing people, amazing food. 464 00:34:30,690 --> 00:34:37,230 Uh, I pray to God that we don't see a world war with China, 465 00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:39,270 but they do have aspirations. 466 00:34:39,570 --> 00:34:41,010 They do have those aspirations. 467 00:34:41,010 --> 00:34:43,560 So we don't know the exact news. 468 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,940 And by the time this episode is. 469 00:34:46,110 --> 00:34:49,620 This press conference will, will have been done. 470 00:34:49,740 --> 00:34:50,310 I'm sure. 471 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,530 Um, we'll we'll see, we'll see how many questions president Biden answers, 472 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:01,110 but it does seem it's pointing to this trilateral security group between the 473 00:35:01,110 --> 00:35:04,230 United States, the UK and Australia. 474 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:10,830 Do you do defend the Indo Pacific region against China? 475 00:35:13,335 --> 00:35:16,095 The Wolk are eating their own. 476 00:35:16,485 --> 00:35:19,545 And that leads us to our next segment 477 00:35:22,695 --> 00:35:27,915 in a post-truth society where we have exchanged the truth for lies in a reason 478 00:35:28,095 --> 00:35:31,005 for post modern irrationality, the absurd. 479 00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:33,189 Finally make sense. 480 00:35:33,189 --> 00:35:40,899 And what is more absurd than AOC at the gala wearing a 30 wearing a thousand? 481 00:35:41,589 --> 00:35:42,819 I don't know how much the dress was. 482 00:35:42,819 --> 00:35:48,069 I think it was a $3,000 dress, but a plate at the gala costs $30,000. 483 00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:53,950 Now there have been multiple reports and posts and memes all over. 484 00:35:55,215 --> 00:36:02,445 About this dress that AOC was wearing at the gala, the head tax, the rich on 485 00:36:02,505 --> 00:36:08,265 its back here is a clip of AOC being interviewed by these poor ladies. 486 00:36:08,335 --> 00:36:15,015 I mean, the acting job is really pretty flat by these announcers at the gala. 487 00:36:15,495 --> 00:36:15,855 Here's a. 488 00:36:16,740 --> 00:36:22,920 AOC wearing her per new dress, the rich, what? 489 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,940 A model AOC model as well. 490 00:36:32,475 --> 00:36:34,035 I didn't know you model as well. 491 00:36:34,545 --> 00:36:37,185 Uh, it's just, it just feels so, so fake. 492 00:36:37,185 --> 00:36:42,375 So staged, obviously the, the irony is deep that she's wearing like 493 00:36:42,765 --> 00:36:45,105 thousands of dollars of clothes. 494 00:36:45,135 --> 00:36:48,225 I think your shoes were like $630. 495 00:36:48,225 --> 00:36:50,085 And I have, I have no. 496 00:36:51,165 --> 00:36:54,225 With someone wearing a thousand dollar pairs of shoes. 497 00:36:54,225 --> 00:36:58,935 I have no problem with someone wearing a $10,000 suit or a $12,000 dress. 498 00:36:59,205 --> 00:37:00,705 I have no issue with any event. 499 00:37:00,735 --> 00:37:02,025 It's like, awesome. 500 00:37:02,415 --> 00:37:05,115 That's great that you have the ability to afford. 501 00:37:06,075 --> 00:37:09,105 The deep irony comes in when she wears a dress. 502 00:37:09,105 --> 00:37:14,625 This is tax the rich at a rich person event when she is among the rich, 503 00:37:14,925 --> 00:37:16,995 that is the deep irony of the cure. 504 00:37:16,995 --> 00:37:23,025 She is a self-proclaimed socialist that doesn't seem to think that the 505 00:37:23,025 --> 00:37:26,505 socialistic ideals apply to her. 506 00:37:26,925 --> 00:37:27,695 They don't apply to her. 507 00:37:27,715 --> 00:37:29,205 They just apply to everyone. 508 00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:29,295 Now. 509 00:37:30,435 --> 00:37:34,455 Uh, but this is where the reason that I actually decided to bring this 510 00:37:34,515 --> 00:37:38,715 segment on the show is not because of saying what everyone else has 511 00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:45,195 already said about this dress and the hypocrisy and the irony of it all. 512 00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:51,705 But because of the left's response, there's a, uh, someone 513 00:37:51,705 --> 00:37:58,395 shared this post and this is by the Lee camp who is a comedian. 514 00:37:59,115 --> 00:38:02,145 American comedian leftist, Marxist comedian. 515 00:38:02,895 --> 00:38:06,195 And he wrote this, and this is where this is where I think it's 516 00:38:06,195 --> 00:38:08,865 just the Wolk eating their own. 517 00:38:08,865 --> 00:38:13,045 You can never be progressive and leftist enough in this world 518 00:38:13,045 --> 00:38:14,475 that it's just never enough. 519 00:38:15,405 --> 00:38:17,985 I'm not going to read all of a series of tweets, but this is a 520 00:38:17,985 --> 00:38:19,985 series of tweets and I'm going to. 521 00:38:21,149 --> 00:38:21,660 Some of it. 522 00:38:21,779 --> 00:38:26,279 Most of it says AOC is getting a lot of credit and criticism for wearing 523 00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:29,759 a dress that said tax the Ridge at, meet the Gallop full of some 524 00:38:29,759 --> 00:38:31,080 of the richest people in the world. 525 00:38:32,250 --> 00:38:40,950 And he goes on to say, the problem here is that even AOC is critics. 526 00:38:41,850 --> 00:38:44,819 That AOC is critics don't seem to be talking about is tax. 527 00:38:44,819 --> 00:38:47,700 The rich is already a weak, compromised position. 528 00:38:48,495 --> 00:38:52,635 You can say tax rich at 50% and they'd still be destroying the 529 00:38:52,635 --> 00:38:57,195 planet destroying people's lives and committing to endless war crimes. 530 00:38:57,855 --> 00:38:58,095 Okay. 531 00:38:58,155 --> 00:39:05,145 If obviously there are some rich globalists who are working to control 532 00:39:05,145 --> 00:39:09,375 everything in the planet and really are destroying people's lives, but most rich 533 00:39:09,405 --> 00:39:13,365 people who are making millions of dollars a year or billions of dollars a the year. 534 00:39:14,665 --> 00:39:18,055 All of our lives have been enriched by these people. 535 00:39:18,385 --> 00:39:23,305 The fact that you're listening to this is evidence that your life has been 536 00:39:23,305 --> 00:39:29,665 enriched by the rich billionaires who built companies to help your life. 537 00:39:31,255 --> 00:39:36,295 But, but no, you just, they can't, they can't see this. 538 00:39:36,295 --> 00:39:37,435 They can't understand this. 539 00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:44,115 Because th their ideas, their ideals, their world is one of socialism and 540 00:39:44,115 --> 00:39:48,525 capitalism and socialism and communism. 541 00:39:48,525 --> 00:39:49,095 Excuse me. 542 00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:54,675 Where capitalism is the devil, where, where private property is horrible. 543 00:39:55,605 --> 00:39:58,785 He goes on to say, Elon Musk would still be worth a hundred billion dollars. 544 00:40:00,195 --> 00:40:05,085 He be using to implant microchips into day laborers and sending them off to space. 545 00:40:05,235 --> 00:40:10,125 Taxing the rich is a little bandaid on the situation of our capitalistic debt 546 00:40:10,125 --> 00:40:15,585 spiral to capitalistic death spiral kids, AOC might've well worn a dress 547 00:40:15,645 --> 00:40:21,345 that would be dazzling words that said slow, moderate central centrism. 548 00:40:21,705 --> 00:40:27,135 How edgy, if AOC is considered the most left wing congressperson in the. 549 00:40:27,975 --> 00:40:31,845 The way mainstream media acts then true left wing politics 550 00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:33,615 is already admitting defeat. 551 00:40:34,395 --> 00:40:39,015 Then he says this, her dress should have said attack the rich 552 00:40:39,405 --> 00:40:41,985 abolish property and capitalism. 553 00:40:42,345 --> 00:40:45,975 Every negotiator knows you don't start with the compromised position. 554 00:40:46,215 --> 00:40:49,095 If someone says they're going to steal all your stuff, you don't respond with. 555 00:40:49,185 --> 00:40:51,255 How about you steal 95% of my stuff. 556 00:40:51,675 --> 00:40:52,634 You start with go. 557 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,340 He goes on just, just crude and crass. 558 00:41:01,340 --> 00:41:02,750 And just goes on 559 00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:08,880 to essentially say that she didn't go far enough. 560 00:41:09,930 --> 00:41:14,130 Don't start with, how can we moderately tax capital gains at a 561 00:41:14,130 --> 00:41:17,160 level that's slightly higher than it was in the mid nineties, please. 562 00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:18,450 Walmart, Mr. 563 00:41:18,450 --> 00:41:20,160 Bill gates, this isn't. 564 00:41:22,315 --> 00:41:26,695 That's about as revolutionary, as diluted unsweetened cashew milk. 565 00:41:27,865 --> 00:41:28,525 So he ends it. 566 00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:35,335 But the reason I bring this up is because it's never enough, the Wolk eat their own. 567 00:41:36,205 --> 00:41:40,375 And this is where this is where this leftist it's not even liberal. 568 00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:41,815 It's, it's definitely not liberal. 569 00:41:41,815 --> 00:41:47,875 It is leftist, progressive Islam, or it is never enough bait there. 570 00:41:48,655 --> 00:41:48,905 I. 571 00:41:50,055 --> 00:41:55,545 Their dream is to abolish private property is to abolish capitalism 572 00:41:55,575 --> 00:41:58,185 is to set up a capitalistic society. 573 00:41:58,725 --> 00:42:06,435 And here is AOC as hypocritical and as really per, per leftist ideas 574 00:42:06,435 --> 00:42:13,855 of, uh, the green new deal and the way that she wants to recreate 575 00:42:14,005 --> 00:42:16,445 society as a whole into the image of. 576 00:42:18,645 --> 00:42:24,735 If that's not left this enough, then you know, the rest of us don't have a chance. 577 00:42:25,305 --> 00:42:31,305 And this is the, this is where it becomes so absurd and irrational 578 00:42:32,415 --> 00:42:37,975 that in these movements, those people who are fighting and championing the 579 00:42:38,085 --> 00:42:42,555 movement of the left and progressivism probably much more than most people. 580 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,270 They are then being railroaded by not being progressive enough by not 581 00:42:48,270 --> 00:42:51,959 being committed enough to the cost. 582 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:55,979 Well, this show is brought to you by listeners. 583 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,930 Like you, you are, you are precious to me and

00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,790 We will be right back with our closing Weaver and looms segment. 598 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,340 Welcome back to Weaver Luma, part of the show where we take ancient wisdom 599 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,820 and we weave it in with our everyday lives so that we can own our future. 600 00:44:14,850 --> 00:44:19,620 And we've our destiny, the Weaver and the loom it's signifies often 601 00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:21,780 in mythology and ancient story. 602 00:44:23,109 --> 00:44:24,069 Or ancient texts. 603 00:44:24,549 --> 00:44:30,220 A Weaver is often symbolizing fate and its loom is the narrative 604 00:44:30,220 --> 00:44:32,259 of mankind that they weave on. 605 00:44:32,439 --> 00:44:36,049 And it's often a woman who's weaving. 606 00:44:37,170 --> 00:44:40,800 Is able to cut someone's string and cut someone's life off there, 607 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:45,030 off the loom, disconnect them from the course of history. 608 00:44:45,050 --> 00:44:49,980 What I love about the imagery that a Weaver at its loom and tying that 609 00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:54,630 into our destiny and our purpose and who we are is that each little. 610 00:44:55,919 --> 00:45:00,509 You and I, you and I are just one little knot in the loom of 611 00:45:00,509 --> 00:45:02,910 history in the E-box of time. 612 00:45:03,210 --> 00:45:06,600 And we're just one little, one little pixel in the street, in the 613 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,629 screen or in the rug of history. 614 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:16,439 And that encourages me because it makes me know that I'm part of a lineage. 615 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:20,850 I'm a part of a heritage that it goes, I'm part of something so much 616 00:45:21,089 --> 00:45:23,640 greater than just me and you are too. 617 00:45:25,035 --> 00:45:30,645 We can look behind and we can look forward to the future, knowing that what we 618 00:45:31,305 --> 00:45:37,035 with the knot that we make really does affect the great tapestry of history. 619 00:45:37,335 --> 00:45:41,775 And more importantly, the people that we influence and pour into those 620 00:45:41,895 --> 00:45:48,405 people, those individuals are also knots on the loom of history that we 621 00:45:48,735 --> 00:45:52,905 can impact for the good, for the better. 622 00:45:53,745 --> 00:45:56,475 Today's Weaver and loom quote. 623 00:45:56,595 --> 00:45:57,435 It comes from me. 624 00:45:57,585 --> 00:46:02,805 But before we get into the quote, I was, I found this series of images from 625 00:46:02,855 --> 00:46:05,265 a dear friend of mine on Instagram. 626 00:46:05,265 --> 00:46:11,535 Sparky is his name has actually his name, um, name that he goes by, but 627 00:46:11,535 --> 00:46:17,985 he sent this series of posted these series of, of images on Instagram. 628 00:46:17,985 --> 00:46:18,645 The first one. 629 00:46:20,055 --> 00:46:25,274 If, if you're looking on your, your podcast certified 2.0 app with that 630 00:46:25,515 --> 00:46:30,794 enables chapters, you'll see the pictures right now, changing on your phone. 631 00:46:30,884 --> 00:46:35,085 So you can open your phone and look at this right now, as you're listening to 632 00:46:35,085 --> 00:46:39,714 the audio, only version of the podcast and not a video version of it, but you'd see 633 00:46:39,915 --> 00:46:43,575 a picture of a few bricks just stacked up. 634 00:46:43,845 --> 00:46:44,984 And that's often how I feel. 635 00:46:44,984 --> 00:46:46,544 I feel like my life and my work. 636 00:46:46,754 --> 00:46:47,355 It's just a couple of. 637 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,610 Just a couple of bricks stacked up and I'm left wondering what all will this amount 638 00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:57,600 to, well, the next image, it zooms out a little bit and you begin to see, oh, 639 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,700 it's a, it's more of a pile of bricks. 640 00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:03,780 There's, you know, a couple of hundred bricks that have been stacked up 641 00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:06,420 next to each other next to the image. 642 00:47:06,420 --> 00:47:09,480 It zooms out a little bit more and you begin to realize, oh, wait a minute. 643 00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:11,250 This is a large pile of bricks. 644 00:47:11,250 --> 00:47:14,220 It looks like this might actually be a pure. 645 00:47:15,134 --> 00:47:16,154 Zooms out again. 646 00:47:16,365 --> 00:47:21,825 And you begin to see the whole image of one of the great wonders 647 00:47:21,884 --> 00:47:24,525 of the world, the pyramids in Egypt. 648 00:47:25,395 --> 00:47:30,555 And it brought me to the point that my friend Sparky was. 649 00:47:31,930 --> 00:47:35,550 Was that if you change your perspective, if you wait a little and let your 650 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,300 perspective expand, you can see that you're a part of something much bigger. 651 00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:44,950 And the small things that seem small, actually have a much greater significance, 652 00:47:45,310 --> 00:47:49,540 but I brought it back to things that I talk about in my book, anchored 653 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,130 the discipline to stop drifting. 654 00:47:52,270 --> 00:47:55,090 I have a, that I wrote a number of years. 655 00:47:56,460 --> 00:47:59,970 And in that book, I talk about how great things happen 656 00:47:59,970 --> 00:48:02,160 through small steps over time. 657 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:08,100 This is not a brilliantly, fascinating, new idea, but it is true that great 658 00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:15,060 things happen through lane brick by brick, small steps, small action over time. 659 00:48:15,330 --> 00:48:20,460 And we should not despise those days as small beginnings, but if we 660 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,150 remain faithful, if we do not grow. 661 00:48:24,330 --> 00:48:27,690 And the purpose that we've been called to, and the good that we've 662 00:48:27,690 --> 00:48:29,700 been called to do that in good. 663 00:48:29,790 --> 00:48:33,359 In due time, we will reap a harvest. 664 00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:36,299 We will see through reward of our work. 665 00:48:36,299 --> 00:48:42,000 We will, maybe it's at the end of time, we'll look back, we'll see the 666 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,980 couple of knots that we were able to weave on the tapestry of history. 667 00:48:46,980 --> 00:48:50,330 The purpose that our small lives, our lives are. 668 00:48:51,645 --> 00:48:58,275 And, and a vapor we're here today and gone tomorrow and more often than not our lives 669 00:48:58,305 --> 00:49:01,125 really are just these ones into bricks. 670 00:49:01,695 --> 00:49:07,515 But when we add them together, they really do make something much bigger. 671 00:49:07,515 --> 00:49:13,425 So go out this week and not only don't just be a brick, but those bricks of 672 00:49:13,425 --> 00:49:16,035 the pyramids are only significant. 673 00:49:16,815 --> 00:49:19,815 When they are connected with other people. 674 00:49:20,115 --> 00:49:24,315 So I would encourage you one way that you can get more value out of the 675 00:49:24,315 --> 00:49:29,685 show is by sharing this show with your friends, text them texts one or two 676 00:49:29,685 --> 00:49:35,025 people sharing on social media platforms are great, but when someone shares 677 00:49:35,025 --> 00:49:39,165 something on a social media plan, I'm not running to go and listen to something. 678 00:49:39,315 --> 00:49:44,595 But when my friends send me something personally, I feel loved, I feel cared 679 00:49:44,595 --> 00:49:46,515 for, and it makes me like them better. 680 00:49:46,515 --> 00:49:55,185 So send this episode to a colleague, a worker, coworker of spouse, or 681 00:49:55,305 --> 00:49:59,365 you can even just talk about them, these, these ideas, and you will come. 682 00:50:00,194 --> 00:50:06,134 With a sharper knowledge of the world and more are articulate and being able to 683 00:50:06,134 --> 00:50:08,774 understand what is happening in the world. 684 00:50:08,774 --> 00:50:12,424 Anyways, I've belabored this point far too long. 685 00:50:14,535 --> 00:50:20,715 Go out this week and own the future, go out this week and discern what is 686 00:50:20,715 --> 00:50:25,725 happening in the world around you so that you can uncover your purpose. 687 00:50:25,725 --> 00:50:29,835 Because if we can see the lay of the land, we'll be able to walk in it rightly. 688 00:50:29,835 --> 00:50:34,635 And that is what enables us to own our future.
