 Imagine if the day one they would have killed a million New Yorkers The war would have ended what America has done in the Middle East to turn it upside down and intervention there oil hair oil There come on funding one group against another. What is war? What's about destruction and killing? What rules? What is no rules? There's no absolute zero Communism you mentioned communism. Why are so many Atheists secular people why do they tend to be more on the left of economically socialist communists they have a Soft spot for this ideology. Why if we can say God does not exist and we do not have to derive our morality from God Why do we then turn and say well now we need to derive our morality from governments and now government has become the God No, I don't think that's the problem. I think the issue is that Most secularists and you can see this in the New Atheists Do not challenge Moral do not challenge the religious morality. They've accepted religious morality. They just take away God But they've accepted the idea that is at the heart of Christianity That the purpose of your life is to serve other people I saw you made a connection between communism and Christianity and that Jesus gets some sort of communism I know a lot of Republicans will be jumping out of their seat. How could you say no Jesus is a communist? That's crazy Well first of course he is I mean if you're in our communists, but he's definitely on the socialist side I mean on the spectrum just read read some amount. I mean you can see it, but that's the point is this morality Trump's politics and The moral code that everybody out there accepts is a moral code of sacrifice Your life is not important. What's important is what you do for other people and this is Christian This is a Christian morality. This comes from Christianity This is why we adore Mother Teresa and hate Bill Gates even though Bill Gates has helped more poor people the mother Teresa I could even my competition, but we love we adore Mother Teresa in the culture Why because she sacrificed because she suffered because she gave because she didn't do anything for herself Self-interest is the devil. It's the evil according to you know at the end of the day according to Christianity What Marx did is secularize Christianity what Mark did is saying you're right your life me is meaningless You should sacrifice to that group, but it's it's not God. You should sacrifice You should sacrifice purely to your fellow man and your fellow man is equal to you and every so what So the change Christianity does is it changes God to the polytheism instead of it's an even has Marxism and even even even they even have their own Pope, right? So so in Christianity you as an individual don't know the truth you have to go through a pope in order to reveal truth, right? Well in in communism, it's exactly the same you as a member of the polyterian don't know what's good for the polyterian So you need a dictator right and the dictator is the pope He's the one who communes with the spirit of the polyterian and then communicates to you What's good for the polyterian your life doesn't matter what matters is the polyterian and you need to do whatever It takes to make the polyterian better off including die if that's if that's what it means, right? And and this is the point of all moral systems that exist today except objectivism really, right? Your life doesn't matter as an individual what matters is the life of the group of God and Therefore communism is palatable. What's wrong with communism? You're just living for the sake of other people your sacrificing for the sake of other people didn't remind other teachers That you have to think of other people first and never think of yourself and don't be too selfish and don't be too self-interested Of course, we've all grown up with socialism in my mother's milk. We can't challenge it And that's what I ran down. She challenges it for the first time. Okay, I Find your views on foreign policy and war probably the most controversial And they just they wreck consequences. So my views on everything else. So could I quote you? I think this is a near-back quote. You can tell me if I'm wrong Where's he gone? I've lost a quote, but you said that when you were fighting in a war This whole just war theory you are completely against the absolute and you say that if we need to again correct me if I'm wrong If we need to kill innocent civilians in the process then so be it We should not limit our military action because some innocent civilians die We need to crush our enemy at all costs. Yes. Come what may. Yeah, assuming there was a worst self-defense Assuming you were attacked first. So let's say Mexico attacked the United States Then anybody who dies in the war between Mexico and the United States is is the responsibility of the Mexican government They initiated force if a criminal if a criminal comes and he and he shoots you and I you know And I'm shooting back and by accident. I killed a bunch of innocent bystanders. Is it my fault? Or is it his fault? It's clearly Molly his responsibility for initiating force and the same thing is for a government if a government initiates force against me Then the only responsibility that's in the American government the only responsibility of the American government in defending itself It's to defend itself in what does it mean to defend itself to defend the lives and property of America's it has no Concerns with the life and property of Mexicans. That is the concern of the Mexican government Now it should accept, you know, this goes to immigration except anybody who wants to come into America and avoid the war but those who stay are now at war with you are trying to kill you are trying to destroy you and You have to do whatever isn't necessarily not to defeat them It would be complete altruism a complete negation of self interest to say so I'm not gonna harm those people because the women and children or whatever But I'm gonna sacrifice ten of my troops in order not to harm them. Why my only job as a government is to protect my troops So let me count that with an example. So let's say me and you get into a boxing match Yeah, right with a glove and then out of nowhere you kick me. Yeah, that's not in the rules Yeah, of boxing. Yeah, so I'm saying the same way. There's a war. Yes You have to defend yourself draw war, but there are certain rules even within the war that a military should not, you know, break That to me is insanity. So I mean War is about what is war was about destruction and killing what rules? What is no rules? There's no absolute zero nuclear chemical kids children Bombing a church for example, advocating for killing children Absolutely, you do. I mean, there's only one principle in war when Quickly with minimal casualties to your own side. I mean, I consider Hiroshima Nagasaki To new dropping in the nuclear bombs heroic acts of true. They saved hundreds of thousands of American lives Probably saved millions of Japanese lives, but Truman also Well because it prevented an invasion of Japan right Japan collapsed and surrendered and was all over. I mean So ideally one swift blow and game over as opposed to a prolonged Absolutely, if you know and I would bet you that most of the wars that exist today from from the prolonged wars like Vietnam or even the Iraq and Afghanistan If they had gone in and crushed the enemy and made a statement We will crush you. We will do whatever's necessary to pacify you. We will not now. I'm not advocating for those wars I think the women's taken wars, but if you go to war then that's what you should you have to win And you have to win quickly look how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died Well, I think over a million of Iraqis have died because of this prolonged Imagine if on day one they killed them. I mean, I'm not advocating for this just to be clear Imagine if the day one they would have killed a million Iraqis The war would have ended the Rockies would not one of one of the fight nobody would want to touch the Americans They would petrified and it would be over But you would everybody would say that is the most horrific act in all of human history Yeah, well a million have died more than a minute one out and then it's over over a long period of time Nobody cares nobody cares But if it didn't mean in one day everybody would kid as if time at us But surely that's the Magnitudes, I mean the magnitude of the attack and the sort of indiscriminate. I don't believe you need to kill a million people I'm not Just saying if you had done something, but they die anyway and more die as a consequence So if you care about human life, you want to get it over quickly and get it over So so so many people again assuming the war is a war of self-defense Which are doing is a just war just war in the sense that you're acting You're acting the cause of justice so not in executing the Many people who watch my channel are from a Middle Eastern background Muslim background and They may have sympathy with sort of like you but Objectivism skepticism atheism all the rest of it, but if I want to sell them the American dream They're like well what America has done in the Middle East to turn it upside down and intervention there oil hair oil There come on funding one group against another sure. I'm not gonna defend America I'm not gonna defend America's policy in the Middle East, but the Middle East was messed up and screwed up It's well before America showed up. No, I completely agree. But has it helped? Yeah, I think it's I think life in certain countries in the Middle East is better because of American intervention But overall no America's done a disaster job. Why is it done a disaster job because it appeases everybody it? Doesn't a suit itself. It doesn't a suited value. Why is America many times? Never invasions are never never never suited itself. I give you an example. Okay, so you go into Iraq Yeah, you can't you take you up and now what would it mean to assert yourself in your work? What means assert itself is like what we asserted ourselves in Japan. You know who wrote the Japanese Constitution that they still live by? General MacArthur, right? He literally sat down if the Japanese wrote a constitution He looked at it said this is crap and he shredded it. He sat down at his desk with his assistant This is a true story and he wrote a Constitution and he said this is what you're gonna live by This is your Constitution What did the Americans do in Iraq? They brought a committee of tribal leaders You know, you know and and religious leaders and and all kind of and they wrote a Constitution It's just an unmitigated disaster what you'd expect that a group of tribalists would write as a Constitution So what do you get you get a mess in Iraq? You get a complete disaster playing terms advocate Is their country surely they have a right to decide what their Constitution says nobody has a right to enslave your own people You don't have a right to violate other people's rights. I don't care if it's your own country or not You know, you would you say oh Americans had a right to slave it was their own country So they'd slave some people who cares? No and and now that is true of slavery, but it's also true of Laws, let's say that discriminate against she had to discriminate against Sunnis or discriminate against women or discriminate against Atheists is it okay to discriminate against atheists or discriminate against Christians? No, none of those things are right and even if you vote for them they're not right even if the entire country thinks they're right They're not right. This is why there is such thing as objective truth. You want a successful country? There's a formula It's called the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. It's called the American Constitution These are formulas. They're not perfect. You could rewrite them, but that's the formula That's a general formula if you rock wants to be a successful country You got to adopt the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in spirit if not in Inexactness and that is true of every Middle Eastern country to the extent that they don't do that. They will be disasters And even if people like the disaster, they don't have a right to have the disaster They don't have a right to discriminate against the individuals who reject it What about the atheists in Iraq who don't want this Constitution because it's all about religion. It's all about Sharia Hmm, okay fair enough. That's interesting, but that I'm saying is very hot. Don't have rights Individuals have rights and the only purpose of government is to protect those rights into the extent that America goes into a country The only purpose of going into that country should be should be to bring them freedom So do you think and by letting the Yorkies write their own Constitution? They didn't allow them to establish freedom. So it was a complete failure and complete disaster So would you withdraw like troops from Saudi Arabia and other parts in the Middle East? Today or whenever What difference does that make? I mean you said time to make a difference, right? So I would do I would do I would do two things So, you know, so this is where a lot of people hate my guts. I believe with war, you know have been a war with with Islamism Jihadism, whatever you want to call it since then he's 79 Exactly 30 years ago 30 years or 40 years ago. Yeah, I can't do math anymore 40 years ago when when the American embassy was taken which is an active war and When I think the Islamist movements in its current form was really large I mean it is it was the brotherhood that goes even further to the 1920s And there's Wahhabism that goes back to the 18th century But in this one of form the Islamist movement was really formed in 1979 even the Sunnis Were inspired by the Iranian revolution. Yes, they were now to me Iran is the key country you want to Saudi Arabia the two countries that fund all the terrorism Whether they do it as government policy where they do through charities or where they do it through other ways The other countries that do it. So in my view America has to take care of business First and then withdraw from the Middle East. I mean not just from the Middle East American troops in 120 different countries, I would withdraw them from South Korea. South Korea is a rich country They can defend themselves. I would withdraw them from Japan let Japan defend itself I would just draw them from everywhere Germany as well. Certainly. Absolutely. You know who they're defending as the Russians But the Germans fight the Russians Americans shouldn't have to fight the Russians. So I Would withdraw American troops from all these countries, but before I do that This is where you know, so libertarians all agree with But I believe before that you have to take a business take your business means to regime changes in Saudi Arabia and in Iran now In Iran, it's more difficult because the regime is more entrenched So you might have to use military force to have a nuclear weapon like the development as well Another reason to change the regime there and to make clear that that to that regime the new regime that comes about that They better behave themselves. Otherwise You know, this is what come back. This is the sort of American policeman and this is true If you don't if you if if if if if if these countries attack each other if you want fights with Iraq America She's out of it. If if Pakistan in India want to get at it America should stay out of it Even if it's a nuclear and it could affect well if it affects American citizens American American property If it has then America should get involved But it's but the wall of America is not to be the policeman of though See you want them to be a policeman of the world when it's convenient for you And you don't want them to be policemen of the world when it's not convenient for you That's what conservatives and everybody else. I I don't want them to be policemen of the world except in one sense They need to protect so the United States should have this the the fleets in the Arabian Sea and all around that region to protect it The the the shipping lanes so that they can get the oil and that they can they can you know trade international trade to continue that is a Crucial war for the American military to practice and it's it's a part of the individual rights of Americans to be able to trade Whoever they want They need to replace the regime in Iran and they need to replace the regime in Saudi Arabia The fact that we are allies of a king is disgusting and despicable We shouldn't have an embassy in Saudi Arabia We should have nothing to do with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and you wipe them out Wipe them out. I don't think you need to wipe them out. You see everybody thinks that this requires wiping people out All you have to do to the Saudis is go boo. I Mean, what are the Saudis have nothing they're poor country. They have nothing they have oil So all you have to do is say We're not going to protect you anymore and the Saudis would shut right so all you have to do there Is challenge them and let them know that you will not tolerate You know when the Saudis and the Iranians of the rest of us stole the oil They stole it from Western oil companies, but it's in their country. I mean is this day is there is no such thing as their country In that sense, but the thing wait when you attack America America America is specific people with specific property rights Whose property rights? Whose property rights were violated by all companies in Saudi Arabia? Give me the name of the person. I don't know their names. Yeah, it was the king. Okay. Kings don't have property rights Kings do not have property rights. Kings are an abomination There is no the king doesn't have property rights So if there's a land in Saudi Arabia that nobody owns and I discover oil on that who's oil in Texas If you discover oil in Texas on your land, who's oil is it? America's It's your America's I'm going Texas Anyway, if I discover oil my property in California in Puerto Rico now I live in Puerto Rico if I discover oil in my property. It's my oil If if if you have a property in Saudi Arabia, you discover oil The Saudi States oil that's communism for the guy who accused me of communism. No Capitalism is about private property if I want to invite people on to my private properties goes back to immigration It's my business. It's not the state's business who I invite to my property and if I discover oil in my property It's my property. It's none of the state's business what I do with that that is private property That's what capitalism means. So there is no such thing as American oil. There's no such thing as American jobs There's no such thing as American anything. There's individual Americans own things the job of the American State is to protect those property rights. It's protect my way to bring in as many Mexicans I want to live on my land as I want It's to protect my way to the oil that I have in the land so nobody can steal it and see it It's not their oil. It's my oil and got your house So the same thing in Saudi Arabia when American oil companies discovered oil in Saudi Arabia and it was their oil and Then the Saudis stole it from them Saudi King stole it from that's when America should have intervened and said no You can't steal our people stuff
