Transcript
- Malcolm: Now we're sending out ground troops, like 7,000 ground troops out to the Middle East now for unexpected ⁓ of... ⁓ I'm like, bro, like, we've gotten to the point. Like, this was supposed to be a three, like a weekend war, I think, to start off. Now it's been over a month. We're sending out American troops on the ground to go out and do what? Sacrifice our lives for him to flex our military might for a war that we never had to into in the first place. It is very hard to stay kind of optimistic in these times, bro, because it's just like... You just can't predict histopathy. And that's what I'm learning ⁓ against my own will, unfortunately. Thomas: You want to know what I call it? I call it the art of confusion. You confuse the people enough, split the people enough. I mean, think about it. There was a plane crash at LaGuardia Airport. No one's really talking about that. mean, people are talking about it. Rest in peace to the pilots and everyone who's... ⁓ I think it was only the two pilots who passed. Yeah, here, firetruck. That one's not making crazy news. Nancy Guthrie's mother, that whole story kind of fell out of the headlines. Malcolm: Wait, is that the one that hit the truck on there? OK, that's what I OK. Yo, did they ever find her? Thomas: I don't think so. I had to check. I think I heard about something, some update yesterday, but she's been missing for like two months, I think something's wrong. Don't quote me. It's February 1st, so it's been almost two months. Malcolm: ⁓ we heard that. ⁓ Wait. it. Thomas: one's talking about ICE anymore, other than the airport stuff. You throw enough stuff at the wall for people to talk about, people will get confused and split. Malcolm: That's so scary bro. But nah, it's crazy dog. Okay, yeah. So I'm really looking at these live updates. the US will take control of the Stratiform moves now. Bro, we never had it to begin with. What do mean, we'll take control? It was always under Iran's control. Thomas: You know what bro, I- Bro, it's because I think the Ron, want it to be formally recognized that it's theirs. And I think it's not formally recognized that like they own it. Malcolm: And it's not even that it's actually theirs. It's just their location as a country relative to the straight. It's like, it may as well be theirs because like they have, I mean, if you try to bring something through there, they can really just bomb all of that. We're cooked. Thomas: They're right there, bro. And it's crazy because everything going on, they focus on, they try to paint a picture of one evil, it's like, does what one place does negate the actions of another place? Like, I'm not just talking about Israel. I'm talking about America, bro. Do some atrocities, bro. Really do some horrible things. And Israel, like I... I don't have to say anything about that for people to go and watch the videos of how those soldiers talk to people and how they act and how they do. It was just a video that came out on CNN, which for everyone thinking that's liberal media, this was footage of reporters on the ground in Israel, or not in Israel, they were in Gaza, and was Israeli soldiers walked up on them with guns pointing at them, like giving them a hard time. They're like, we're the press. Like they're putting their hands up, we're the press. And they're like, we don't care. We don't care. They're like, let me see all your documentation. Treating them like... Whatever. And for anyone who says, you're in war zone, blah, blah, just watch videos of how these soldiers like talk to people and the things they say they do to people. openly admitting they don't care about Americans, openly admitting they do things to women and children and men. Like just openly sharing this stuff with pictures. Like it's not hard to find. So I'm not trying to say anything about a country a religion, I'm not saying anything about that. I'm specifically speaking on the documented visuals and videos, pictures that you can see of happening to people, the victims on all sides, victims everywhere, and then how the people committing the stuff, how they view human life. Like it's a bigger picture than that. Malcolm: Yeah.
