 let's turn to Kyle, whoops, wrong one, there we go, this one, there we go. Alright, so there's Kyle, so Kyle is commenting on the killing of Soleimani and the reason I'm using this is both it is a reflection of how the left thinks about these things or how many people, by the way people like Juan Paul, certain people within the libertarian movement will agree with everything you'll hear Kyle say. So there was a wide array of Americans who think this way about politics, that is basically the idea that America's always wrong, America's always bad, particularly when the president happens to be in a party that you don't agree with. Libertarians tend to be a little bit more consistent in the anti-Americanism than even the left, but Kyle is commenting on the assassination of Soleimani, and I've talked about Soleimani, I've talked about who he was, how bad he was, how incompetent he was, how the extent to which he supported and the national guard, the Iraqi, the Russian revolutionary guard, supported the regime, helped oppress the protesters, this was the regime's arm of oppression and of suppression. Now note the left's attitude, and again the certain libertarians who agree with them, towards Soleimani and Iraq. Anyone? Hopefully you can hear that. Donald Trump decided to assassinate a top Iranian general with a drone. We also have, well it's assassinate and it's rather than kill as it would be in a war, you don't assassinate people in a war, you kill them, and because of course Kyle, like almost everybody in the United States, doesn't recognize that we are at war with Iran, whether we like it or whether we acknowledge it or not, and you know notice how he calls him, a general, just a military guy, no big deal, just a military Iranian military general, nothing special. In Iraqi military leader who was killed as well, he was the head of I believe the popular mobilization forces, now the Iranian general, not a terrorist organization, not organizations killed Americans, non-organization that's responsible for murder and slaughter of Iraqis and Americans, and you know that is irrelevant. Let's, let's, Sam Soleimani, he was the head of what's called the Kuds Force, so you know this guy has an interesting backstory and the more you learn about him, the more you realize that what Trump did here is just totally unconscionable. Yeah this guy was Soleimani, according to Kyle Kalinsky, was a good guy, he was one of the good guys in Iran, listen. So this guy first rose to prominence when he fought against Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war, and then since then he's been in charge of providing military assistance to Lebanon. He's been in charge of giving military assistance to Lebanon. Now I wonder what the Lebanese think about this, provide, I mean the dishonesty here, Kyle, I mean if you watch interviews of Kyle with like Joe Rogan and stuff, he comes across as if he's this objective, rational, takes into account all these different arguments, very level-headed guy, not too radical, not too crazy. He provides military assistance to Lebanon? No, Kyle. He provides military assistance to Hezbollah, a Shiite militia, terrorist organization within Lebanon, that is not only responsible for the murder of 244 Marines, responsible for the murder and kidnapping of dozens of Americans, responsible for complete mayhem in Lebanon, responsible for holding hostage the entire Lebanese state even though Shiites whom Hezbollah represents within Lebanon are a minority within Lebanon, as is every one of the religions, they are not a majority, and yet they control because of their military force. These are anti-democratic, something that Kyle and his leftist friends worshiped, democracy. These are anti-democratic, talk about murderers, thugs who would like to impose a theocracy based on Sharia law, based on the Iranian model in Lebanon. The Lebanese hate them, anybody who's not a Shiite associated with a militia at least. I'm not even going to talk about what they've done to Israel and the terrorism, the attacks on Israel. Put that aside, just what they've done to Lebanon. No, no, the Soleimani guy, he's a good guy because he's helped the Lebanese. He's provided assistance to the Lebanese, assistance to the most militant, to the most violent, to the most horrific militia within Lebanon that has caused thousands and thousands of deaths. And again, 244 Marines died in Lebanon in 1983 from bombing by Hezbollah, financed and motivated by the Kudz Brigade, the exact brigade that Soleimani is in charge of today. He was a little too young to be responsible for that, but that's who the Kudz Brigade is that he, Kyle, so admires. They provided military assistance to Lebanon. It's just, it truly is mind-boggling dishonesty. And I mean, documenting now, you saw, I did the Prager University with Greg and Ankar, the dishonesty there, the dishonesty on the left. I mean, all these people, I mean, today, I guess you get 775,000 subscribers by basically lying or not doing your research. Maybe he's just ignorant. Maybe he's just ignorant, but that's even worse because why is he talking about a subject he knows nothing about? But to make Soleimani a good guy is so disgusting. Even Iranians know this guy was a bad guy. And Syria. Military assistance to Syria. No, right. So Soleimani provided military assistance to the Assad regime. Assad is a brutal dictator who is responsible for the death of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of his own citizens, responsible for using chemical weapons and other weapons to kill, murder his own people. The uprising against them was an uprising, at least initially, of people against a dictator. Now, maybe they were no better, you could argue. But suddenly Assad is pure evil. And the people rising up against him, at least some of them, were much better than Assad. And yet, he presented as, oh no. Soleimani was giving to Syria, not to Assad, to Syria. No, he wasn't giving assistance to Syria. If you wanted to give assistance to Syria, you would guarantee the removal of Assad. You would get rid of Assad, both Soleimani, Iran, and the Russians have assisted Assad against their own people, against the Syrian people in establishing and giving permanence to one of the most brutal regimes there are and permanence to the oppression of the Syrian people. So, again, facts, context, but anything, anything, anything to make the American government bad. Anything to present the American government, particularly one run by Trump, as evil and bad and destructive. To the point, you make the good guys, you make the real evil guys appear to be the good guys. All right, I have to ask, are you guys, can you guys hear me? Is this crash or hasn't crashed? I'm getting mixed signals from my own monitoring here. I'm asking both for Facebook and for YouTube. Somebody on the chats just tell me, all right, I'm not getting any response. So maybe you're gone. Are you, is anybody there? All right, you're on. Okay, good. All right, let's keep going here. So yeah, I mean, Soleimani was evil. What he did was evil. You can disagree with the American farm policy. You can think all the troops should come home, but not to call this guy what he is, not to recognize his own evil. I mean, Kyle and Juan Paula the same. The primary focus is anti-American. The primary focus is anti-American. Nobody else is as bad as America. Nobody else is as evil as Trump. Now, as you know, I think Trump's damn bad, but Trump is no, Tula is in Iran. Trump is no Soleimani. So an America is not Iran. But they hate America so much. So his most recent claim to fame is, first of all, um, allying with the Kurds, which is really important to fight ISIS and al-Qaeda. The Kurds are terrified of this guy, although because the Shiites in southern Iraq and the Kurds in northern Iraq, the Kurds are more terrified of the Sunnis than they are of the Shiites. But the idea, yes, he did ally with them to fight ISIS. And he did succeed and was one of his few successes together with the Americans together with lots of other forces together with the Syrian regime fighting ISIS. But all right, for a moment there, for a moment there, he was on the same wavelength. He was an ally quote of the United States. At the same time, who's killing Americans? At the same time, killing Americans at every opportunity by Jihadists that were taking over Syria. Um, and he also aligned with the Iraqi government as well to do this. So it was like a united front against the worst forces of ISIS. Yeah, the Iraqi government, because the Iraqi government was basically a puppet government, a puppet of Iran. It was a shared government basically installed. Even the Iraqis demonstrating recently were demonstrating against Iranian influence in their own country because they, the Iraqis know that they become a puppet government of Iran and they're opposed to that. And again, it's just no context, no context. I mean, this guy comes out as a, as a freaking hero saving western civilization from ISIS. And, you know, quite frankly, he was one of the leaders in the fight to defeat ISIS and he succeeded in defeating ISIS. And, you know, all of the, so, so kind of gets that ISIS is bad, but the shared regime which Soleimani represents in Iraq is exactly the same as ISIS. There was no fundamental difference between it. It's mildly more civilized, but still committed to Sharia law and over the entire world still committed to the spread of Islam through the entire world, still committed to world domination of Islam. But everybody knows you're supposed to hate ISIS. But the Shiites, Iran, no, we love them. I mean, the left has been enamored with Iranian revolution from the beginning partially because Aitul Khomeini strategically used Marxist terminology during the revolution, during the leading up to 1979 Iranian revolution and during the revolution in order to get the alliance with the left. So the left supported Khomeini within Iran during the revolution. And in the first few months of the revolution, then once Khomeini established control, dominated the country, had what he wanted, he turned around and basically slaughtered, killed all of the leftists who had supported him. And, but international leftists from French socialists and egalitarianists, they loved Iranian revolution. It was a revolution against the man. It was a revolution against America. It was a revolution against the Shah. They support, it was a people's revolution. And if you go back at Foquan, all these postmodernist, they loved Iranian revolution. They thought it was a huge advancement. They, they saw it through a Marxist kind of lens of a people who are using up to establish a true dictatorship of the masses, a religious one, by the way. But anyway, Kyle obviously thinks one form of Islam is better than the other. Soon he's a bad, shiites good, you know, unbelievable. Relevant information about this guy is that he was kind of viewed by Iranians as like an apolitical figure. Untrue completely. He's completely affiliated with the regime. He is intimately associated with Khomeini, the supreme leader. There's nothing apolitical about him. He was a supporter when he wrote, and you can find this, it's a Wikipedia, you idiot. He wrote to the regime, you've got to crush these rebellions when the students marched in 2009. He has repeatedly advocated for the worst of the regime, for the worst kind of actions by the regime. There's not an ounce, not a shred of non, you know, non-partisanship about Soleimani. He was not involved in the domestic repression at home. Again, just a plain lie. He headed the, you know, the Islamic Republican God. He headed the arm of the regime. He headed the military arm of the Mullahs. Everything about him was about sustaining the oppressive regime that exists in Iran today. Everything. So this is just plain misinformation. Talk about fake news. So you can blame, you know, the Ayatollah. There's plenty of blame to go around, but generally speaking, even though he was in the Islamic Revolutionary God. Yeah, it's called the Islamic Revolutionary God for a reason. He wasn't viewed as like part and parcel or partaking in the domestic repression at home. And, you know, according to some, he was next in line to be the Ayatollah. No, he wasn't. He was never next in line to be the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah is a religious figure, not a military figure. He was next in line. The rumors were he had a number of times being encouraged to run for president. President is very different than Supreme Leader than the Ayatollah. Come on, Kyle, do a little bit of research. This is not hard. This is all publicly available information. You can get it on Google. You can get it from the New York Times. This is not hidden stuff. It's so frustrating to see these idiots, dishonest idiots. But yeah, Kyle, this is not rocket science. You should be able to get this right. He was going to run for president. He kept denying, rejecting, running for president, staying with the military, staying as the sword of the regime. And he defeated ISIS, and that's his claim to fame. You think this was a reformist? You think this has come peace-loving reformist? It's assassinated him. Now, I just need everybody to understand that this is a dude who... Dude, he's a dude. Soleimani. Blood of tens of thousands of people. Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, and Americans on his hand. And by the way, Yemenis and Saudi Arabians on his hands. He's a dude. He's a dude. I mean, it's so disgusting. We were just allies with. So it wasn't like, you know, while we were trying to take on ISIS, by the way, after we armed them and funded them, various Jihadist groups, it wasn't like we didn't work with this guy. No, we did. We did. He was the front line on the ground along with the Kurds. So he was just our ally. And I'm going to get to a stunning fact later about the situation in which he was assassinated, what he was doing at the time, which is going to absolutely blow your mind. So the Trump administration says, well, well, we had to do it. I had to do it because he was about to attack us. Now, that, you know, Trump... Is there any truth to that? The answer is no. How do you know that, Kyle? The answer is no. This guy's attacked Americans on various occasions. On various occasions. So really? Tell you otherwise is absolutely full of it. How do you know? There's zero evidence to support that assert. The evidence that he's killed Americans and fought against Americans and is targeted Americans in the past should not suggest that he might be scheming for the future. I'm not saying the intelligence existed, but to unequivocally say what he's saying is just false. And as a general rule, there are no like Shia terror attacks. Oh my God. Oh my God. No Shia terror attacks. 244 Marines in the barracks in 1983. The Kobo Tower in Saudi Arabia. I don't have the date, maybe 1994. The many, many, many Shia terrorist attacks during the Iraq war. Chizballah. Terrorist attack after terrorist attack. Car bombing after car bombing. All Shiaites. What are you talking about? No Shia terrorist attacks? Against the U.S. They come... Again, Kobo Tower in Saudi Arabia was against the U.S. Marine barracks was against the U.S. Kidnapping of Americans all over the Middle East, primarily Lebanon during the 1980s and 90s against the U.S. The Shia is, I mean, not to mention the taking of the American embassy in Iran. I mean, this is just, again, ludicrous. Now you might say there's never been a Shia attempt on American soil. Well, that's not even true. There was a Shia attempt on American soil just four or five years ago that was crushed by intelligence, but it was targeted towards the Saudi ambassador, but it was on the U.S. soil. That was an attempt. Maybe it's true that there's never been a successful Shia terrorist attack on American soil, but that's not what Cal's saying. He's saying against Americans, which is just blatantly unequivocally false. The Salafists, the Sunni Wahhabist fundamentalists who are all inspired by the Shias. If you read the Salafist, if you actually read Bin Laden, if you read the ISIS, if you read these people, you will discover that what inspired most of them, what really got recruitment up dramatically was the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. If it could happen in Iran, it could happen anywhere. And the greatest recruitment to the Salafists as Sunnis was the success of the Iranian Revolution, the success of Iranians standing up to America, the failure of America to do anything about them. And yet, no, according to Kyle, these are peace. That's where the attacks come from. They all come from Shia. They haven't just killed a thousand of their own demonstrators, which is all done by the Islamic God, the Quds Force, the force that, oh no, they're the good guys. They're apolitical because the guy running them was Soleimani, a hero of the left in America today. When Mike Pompeo was pushed on this because he went on the Sunday shows, they've been doing a, you know, they do a terrible job by and large, those shows do. But there was a little bit of pushback when he was on one of the shows and the person was like, okay, so you say that, you know, he's, Trump stopped an imminent attack here. There was an attack coming against the homeland. And his response was, no, we have intelligence that he was in the plot, the process of planning a plot to Americans in the region. He's always in the process of planning a plot against Americans in the region. Always. That's what Soleimani's done for 40 years, for, no, for 20 years. So look at all, all the Weasley qualifiers they put in there. Yes, by the way, the assassination of Saudi, of the Saudi ambassador, which was, which was targeted by Iran, which was by the Iranians, was going to not, you know, shoot him and walk away. It was, they were planning to blow up a restaurant in DC. There would have been many American casualties. That was a planned terrorist attack on the United States soil, planned, thwarted by the American intelligence services, the same American intelligence services that Trump and other Republicans are calling the evil, deep state. But nevertheless, we're successful in stopping that particular terrorist attack by an Iranian regime. Again, Kyle, you should know this. This is not hard. This is not sophisticated. You can have a show. 200,000 people have watched this video by God. 200,000 minds are being polluted by this dishonesty, just plain falsehood. It's not that, oh my God, he was going to attack some, you know, Americans. It's no threat to the homeland, no plan against the homeland. And we're saying, so they said he was going to attack us and come to find out even they admit when they're pushed just a little bit, there was no attack plot against us. We're saying that maybe there was one that was coming in the region, which again, no evidence for. And by the way, I do not believe that for a second. And the burden of proof is not on me. The burden of proof is on them to show us that no, he was actually going to do it. That was a mistake of the administration. They should have never said that. They should have just said, this is a guy with the blood of Americans on his hands. This is a guy responsible for killing Americans. This is a guy crucial to the Iranian regime, which is at war with us. We're taking him out. We took him out. Hooray, good for America. And then they should have gone on to advocate for regime change. But that's a whole different story. Show the proof. They don't have it. They don't have it. They absolutely don't have any. Now, here's the underreported craziest part. We learned this yesterday in the US media, hasn't touched this at all. So Trita Parsi, who's an expert on Iran, he says the following, wow, wow, wow, according to the Iraqi prime minister. Soleimani was not planning an attack. He was in Iraq. This is where he was killed at the Iraqi airport. He was in Iraq, carrying a message to Saudi Arabia on how to reduce Iran, Saudi tensions as part of an Iraqi mediation effort. Now notice, I mean, a bunch of stuff here. One, who cares? Who cares if he was on such a mission? Who says such a mission is good? Why is it good for America? But second, who cares? He's a bad guy. He needs to die. Second, you believe the Iraqi prime minister. You believe the Iraqi prime minister. You don't believe your own president. Now there's good reason not to believe Donald Trump or the secretary of state. But those same reasons all should suggest that we shouldn't believe the Iraqi prime minister either. But he's going to just take his word for it. Proof? He just said, Kyle, the burden of proof is on them. Well, the burden of proof is the Iraqi prime minister. Has he provided proof that this is true? No. No, but this is the state of things in the world in which we live This is a tweet by Rose McGowan. I guess I don't know who Rose McGowan is, but some celebrity. She wrote after Soleimani death, Dear Iran, the USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. Hashtag Soleimani. I mean, this is so disgusting. So offensive that, you know, it's hard even to know what to say about this kind of stuff. There's no accident that people hate the left as much as they do. Because these people on the left, at least, this kind of crazy left is so nutty. It's so anti-American. It's so hateful. We're talking about an Iranian regime that just killed about a thousand people in protests. And the protests were about rising fuel costs. And yet the Iranian regime put snipers on buildings and shot them. Now, as bad as Trump is, and granted, I think he's really, really, really bad, we're not shooting thousands of protesters in the street yet. Who knows? 20, 30, 40 years for now. But we're not. We're not a terrorist regime. And we're suddenly not a terrorist regime when you compare us to Iran. I mean, when you hear people like this, you almost become a supporter of Trump because what's the alternative? These people are truly nuts, despicable, evil. And this is Kyle Kalinsky's audience. And this is Kyle who leads the cause, leads the cause. Now, that doesn't justify Trump at all. But it sure puts the context into what the nutty left represents. And it represents pure nihilism, pure hatred of America that the left couldn't care less about American life, but an Iranian life for that matter. It couldn't care less about individual human life. Well, we know that from the environmentalist nuttiness that they have. They're not interested in human life. I don't know what they are interested in. Well, we know. At the end of the day, they're motivated by hatred and they're motivated by desire to destroy. I mean, you listen to Kyle, particularly on this topic, you listen to Kyle, and you read those kind of tweets, which by the way, that tweet was retweeted by dozens of celebrities on the wacky left. They are nuts as nutty or more so than the nuts on the right. And that's who we have today, those two groups, the nuts on the left and the nuts on the right. No, nuts on the left and nuts on the right are growing, are growing. And I mean, Kyle, in this video, this is not just ignorance. This is blatant dishonesty. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist. Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show, many of you step forward and actually supported the show for the first time. So I'll do it again.
