The brigade commander was demoted administratively.

In Fallujah, in November 2004, white phosphorus was used as an anti-personnel weapon.

That's a war crime, folks.

In Haditha, in November 2005, Marines killed 24 civilians, including children.

Of eight charged, one was convicted of dereliction of duty.

In Mahmudiyah, in March 2006, soldiers raped and murdered a 14-year-old girl and killed her family.

This was prosecuted in civilian court only because a ringleader had already left the Army.

But now with some resistance liberals who I think due to trauma now look back at George W. Bush and think, "Was it really that bad?" It was.

Like, yeah, guess what? When you assassinate another country's leaders, they're probably gonna come for you.

Yeah.

No, that's, um, uh, there is a saying that, you know, in war, uh, the opponent gets a say.

And it turns out that when you kill someone's father, as far as we know, wife, at least per- one child, maybe, just maybe, they may try to kill you.

Which, like, you know, not ideal, but that's kind of how...

Like, this, there, there's, there's an idea of that would be the means by which Iran would attempt to respond to, you know, bombing them a whole lot.

Like, there is something, there were a couple of people who posted kind of after, um, the initial few weeks of the war.

Even this Supreme Court.

Right.

Like, there was not the same, like, "I am here to win this race.

I will talk to everybody and their dog, and I will shake their dog's paw and the person's hand.

I will do everything." You know, again, part of the anti-establishment attitude is also kind of an anti-gerontocracy attitude.

I'm aware Haley Stevens is not a elderly person, but I also think that the kind of like, let's go after every vote, let's talk to everybody, let's go everywhere, let's do everything.

The kind of thing you saw from Mamdani, and you've seen from candidates who are doing well in a bunch of different states.

Democratic candidates who are doing well.

Yeah

That's peak

...

Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go.

Like, he, he had a great time, and then he stopped having such a good time, as the article details, and it makes total sense to me that he would find the time at which he was young, hot, and really famous to be incidentally the greatest time in American history.

And he is not alone in thinking that.

And, like, for, like, I love...

And you can tell this because when the greatest time in human history has slowly moved forward as people get older and talk on the internet.

Unless they're homemakers

[laughs]

For too long, I think Democrats have been like, "Oh, but, but w- what if we lose the majority? What...

But we need to benefit most of America." I've met a lot of America.

[cheering] [clapping]

So what we do is that we run up the score, and then as Michigan National Championship winning football coach Jim Harbaugh would do-

Yeah.

I think Trump is aware that people want to use him for things, and he is fine with that until he's not fine with that.

Tucker, in my view, wanted to use Trump as a vehicle by which he could get his specific WASP populism into politics, his view that, you know, there are too many people here, too many brown people.

Why won't all the brown people leave so he could just fish in peace? And, you know, whatever Candace Owens has going, which has been deeply concerning for a really long time, and Republicans should have seen it, but Republicans cannot resist an African American saying, "You were right the whole time." They can't do it.

It's ph- they are physically unable to do it.

It can't be done.

And so, like, they were real vulnerable to that.

Yeah

Yeah

... that they can wield Trump in some way.

Like, "Oh, if he could be turned, uh, he would be a powerful asset." And then it's like, no, he's just gonna fuck up your life.

He's just gonna fuck up your life in every single way, and you're starting to see that on crypto from these crypto bros.

And I think that we're starting to see this from, say, uh, Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff.

Like, there is a strong anti-elite message that can be used that I think would prove effective.

Now, granted, I, I am not- do not look to me for, like, political guidance, but I do think that, like, the kind of, "These people are scammers, and they're trying to take your money," is a far more effective message than, "We will help you make money through this thing that we don't entirely understand." Pokémon, go to the polls.

... and I just wanted to kind of wax poetic about it for about a minute, uh, now that we've lost it.

(laughs)

So, he has the best success of any Libertarian Party candidate for president ever.

And the Libertarian Party said, "No, thank you.

Uh, no, we'd rather not have that." Because I think that there's a sense that for the, the Libertarian Party at that time that, like, winning got in the way of purity.

And I think that that's something...

We, we see purity spirals in politics all the time.

That's a bad move for any political party.

Yes.
