business putting ░░░░░░░░ in the Ukraine we ░░░░░░░░ we would never do ░░░░░░░░ we committed to it ░░░░░░░░ we ve repeatedly violated ░░░░░░░░ promises and there are ░░░░░░░░ in the White House ░░░░░░░░ want this war They ░░░░░░░░ said it repeatedly even ░░░░░░░░ Biden has said the ░░░░░░░░ of the war is ░░░░░░░░ depose Vladimir Putin Rogan ░░░░░░░░ what install a puppet ░░░░░░░░ Like what happens Kennedy ░░░░░░░░ s the thing The ░░░░░░░░ people who got rid ░░░░░░░░ Saddam Hussein which cost ░░░░░░░░ 8 trillion and Iraq ░░░░░░░░ now worse off than ░░░░░░░░ found it We killed ░░░░░░░░ Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ░░░░░░░░ forced Iraq into this ░░░░░░░░ to Iran where they ░░░░░░░░ now a proxy state ░░░░░░░░ Iran We ve reduced ░░░░░░░░ nation into an incoherent ░░░░░░░░ that is just a ░░░░░░░░ between Shi ite and ░░░░░░░░ death squads We created ░░░░░░░░ we then had to ░░░░░░░░ the Syrian War the ░░░░░░░░ War and the Afghan ░░░░░░░░ We drove 2 million ░░░░░░░░ into Europe and destabilized ░░░░░░░░ democracy in Europe for ░░░░░░░░ next two generations and ░░░░░░░░ Brexit That s what ░░░░░░░░ got for that 8 ░░░░░░░░ and a ravaged middle ░░░░░░░░ in our country The ░░░░░░░░ people who we thought ░░░░░░░░ neocons who ran that ░░░░░░░░ lied to us about ░░░░░░░░ of mass destruction tricked ░░░░░░░░ into that war and ░░░░░░░░ we thought were now ░░░░░░░░ of government forever pariahs ░░░░░░░░ know in disgrace they ░░░░░░░░ now all back in ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration with a ░░░░░░░░ project Lloyd Austin who ░░░░░░░░ Biden s Defense Secretary ░░░░░░░░ the purpose of the ░░░░░░░░ for us is to ░░░░░░░░ Russia and degrade its ░░░░░░░░ to fight any other ░░░░░░░░ in the world Well ░░░░░░░░ s not good for ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine because the way ░░░░░░░░ re exhausting Russia is ░░░░░░░░ butchering 350 000 Ukrainian ░░░░░░░░ I mean we have ░░░░░░░░ that nation into an ░░░░░░░░ of death for the ░░░░░░░░ of Ukrainian youth And ░░░░░░░░ m not excusing Putin ░░░░░░░░ is a thug a ░░░░░░░░ a gangster who illegally ░░░░░░░░ and didn t need ░░░░░░░░ but we need to ░░░░░░░░ responsibility for the provocations ░░░░░░░░ we have you know ░░░░░░░░ these neocons have been ░░░░░░░░ for over a decade ░░░░░░░░ by the way the ░░░░░░░░ we re in that ░░░░░░░░ is because Americans are ░░░░░░░░ people We were convinced ░░░░░░░░ using these kinds of ░░░░░░░░ book depictions that the ░░░░░░░░ industrial complex is now ░░░░░░░░ expert at sowing from ░░░░░░░░ this kind of good ░░░░░░░░ evil this whole thing ░░░░░░░░ gets us into these ░░░░░░░░ That war is a ░░░░░░░░ laundering racket for military ░░░░░░░░ The money is going ░░░░░░░░ and coming right back ░░░░░░░░ then they all go ░░░░░░░░ CNN you know the ░░░░░░░░ etc who if you ░░░░░░░░ at their resumes they ░░░░░░░░ all working for General ░░░░░░░░ and military contractors and ░░░░░░░░ tell us we need ░░░░░░░░ be in this war ░░░░░░░░ tell us horror stories ░░░░░░░░ But we re there ░░░░░░░░ Americans are good people ░░░░░░░░ have compassion and they ░░░░░░░░ to redress a wrong ░░░░░░░░ by the way my ░░░░░░░░ went over there and ░░░░░░░░ you know and he ░░░░░░░░ Without telling us he ░░░░░░░░ law school had a ░░░░░░░░ job and went over ░░░░░░░░ joined the Foreign Legion ░░░░░░░░ fought as was a ░░░░░░░░ gunner for a special ░░░░░░░░ unit during the Kharkhiv ░░░░░░░░ So you know I ░░░░░░░░ Ukrainian people the valor ░░░░░░░░ those people and the ░░░░░░░░ that they re suffering ░░░░░░░░ beyond any description but ░░░░░░░░ need to look at ░░░░░░░░ role in it We ░░░░░░░░ to look for roads ░░░░░░░░ peace and try to ░░░░░░░░ the killing There s ░░░░░░░░ 000 80 000 Russian ░░░░░░░░ have died there too ░░░░░░░░ we shouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ over that We should ░░░░░░░░ trying to find a ░░░░░░░░ The U S should ░░░░░░░░ the grownup in the ░░░░░░░░ that say How do ░░░░░░░░ stop the bloodshed That ░░░░░░░░ what we should be ░░░░░░░░ over there And I ░░░░░░░░ say one other thing ░░░░░░░░ that war has cost ░░░░░░░░ 113 billion That s ░░░░░░░░ commitment so far We ░░░░░░░░ s entire budget is ░░░░░░░░ billion a year EPA ░░░░░░░░ entire budget is about ░░░░░░░░ billion We have 57 ░░░░░░░░ our people in this ░░░░░░░░ could not put their ░░░░░░░░ on 1 000 if ░░░░░░░░ need to in an ░░░░░░░░ 25 of Americans are ░░░░░░░░ now are not getting ░░░░░░░░ food I have a ░░░░░░░░ who was a commercial ░░░░░░░░ who spent his life ░░░░░░░░ the fisheries and had ░░░░░░░░ business but because it ░░░░░░░░ a private business because ░░░░░░░░ was working a lot ░░░░░░░░ other people he doesn ░░░░░░░░ have benefits He now ░░░░░░░░ a disability His son ░░░░░░░░ law runs the business ░░░░░░░░ can t support him ░░░░░░░░ has a disability and ░░░░░░░░ has been surviving on ░░░░░░░░ worth of food stamps ░░░░░░░░ the SNAP program and ░░░░░░░░ doesn t take you ░░░░░░░░ far But on March ░░░░░░░░ he got a robocall ░░░░░░░░ the government saying Your ░░░░░░░░ stamps had been cut ░░░░░░░░ 90 you re now ░░░░░░░░ 25 a month Try ░░░░░░░░ yourself on 90 cents ░░░░░░░░ day in this country ░░░░░░░░ million Americans got that ░░░░░░░░ And that same month ░░░░░░░░ printed 300 billion new ░░░░░░░░ to bail out the ░░░░░░░░ Valley Bank and we ░░░░░░░░ off the Ukraine war ░░░░░░░░ to 113 billion So ░░░░░░░░ ve got lots of ░░░░░░░░ for the military industrial ░░░░░░░░ lots of money for ░░░░░░░░ banker the banksters but ░░░░░░░░ re starving Americans to ░░░░░░░░ Starving them Because of ░░░░░░░░ the inflation we spent ░░░░░░░░ trillion on the lockdown ░░░░░░░░ wasted We got nothing ░░░░░░░░ it 8 trillion on ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine War That s ░░░░░░░░ trillion they had to ░░░░░░░░ to pay for nothing ░░░░░░░░ money the way they ░░░░░░░░ paying it back they ░░░░░░░░ not going to tell ░░░░░░░░ they re raising taxes ░░░░░░░░ you can t do ░░░░░░░░ It s a hidden ░░░░░░░░ called inflation and it ░░░░░░░░ the poor and the ░░░░░░░░ class And it has ░░░░░░░░ the middle class in ░░░░░░░░ country My friend s ░░░░░░░░ bills for basic foods ░░░░░░░░ chicken dairy and eggs ░░░░░░░░ increased by 76 in ░░░░░░░░ years to pay for ░░░░░░░░ Iraq War and Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ and the lockdowns His ░░░░░░░░ prices are going up ░░░░░░░░ now the government is ░░░░░░░░ him while we have ░░░░░░░░ of money for the ░░░░░░░░ and the banks we ░░░░░░░░ t have it for ░░░░░░░░ who are hardworking people ░░░░░░░░ know something is not ░░░░░░░░ We re in a ░░░░░░░░ in this country and ░░░░░░░░ need to start unraveling ░░░░░░░░ empire We have 800 ░░░░░░░░ abroad We were told ░░░░░░░░ 1992 when the Soviet ░░░░░░░░ collapsed we were told ░░░░░░░░ we were going to ░░░░░░░░ a peace dividend that ░░░░░░░░ military expenditure was going ░░░░░░░░ go from 600 billion ░░░░░░░░ year to 200 billion ░░░░░░░░ we were going to ░░░░░░░░ making billion dollar stealth ░░░░░░░░ that can t fly ░░░░░░░░ the rain and that ░░░░░░░░ were going to take ░░░░░░░░ money home and build ░░░░░░░░ with it and build ░░░░░░░░ and give good healthcare ░░░░░░░░ the inner cities And ░░░░░░░░ none of that happened ░░░░░░░░ instead of going down ░░░░░░░░ 200 billion the total ░░░░░░░░ expenditure if you include ░░░░░░░░ security is 1 3 ░░░░░░░░ sic And it hasn ░░░░░░░░ made us safer It ░░░░░░░░ made us worse off ░░░░░░░░ 1 3 trillion Kennedy ░░░░░░░░ 1 3 trillion if ░░░░░░░░ include Rogan Yeah I ░░░░░░░░ you said billion Kennedy ░░░░░░░░ 1 3 trillion If ░░░░░░░░ include this national security ░░░░░░░░ all this stuff that ░░░░░░░░ have to walk through ░░░░░░░░ the airports and if ░░░░░░░░ include the 300 billion ░░░░░░░░ the veterans which you ░░░░░░░░ t cut the veterans ░░░░░░░░ we have 29 a ░░░░░░░░ killing themselves These wars ░░░░░░░░ not good for our ░░░░░░░░ or our kids We ░░░░░░░░ to stop being an ░░░░░░░░ and instead come home ░░░░░░░░ the middle class and ░░░░░░░░ project economic power the ░░░░░░░░ the Chinese do who ░░░░░░░░ eating our lunch because ░░░░░░░░ know not to project ░░░░░░░░ power but to project ░░░░░░░░ power That s how ░░░░░░░░ win the hearts and ░░░░░░░░ of the world and ░░░░░░░░ security My uncle John ░░░░░░░░ did that He refused ░░░░░░░░ go to war So ░░░░░░░░ was surrounded by the ░░░░░░░░ industrial complex and the ░░░░░░░░ apparatus and he learned ░░░░░░░░ early he realized early ░░░░░░░░ that the purpose of ░░░░░░░░ CIA and the intelligence ░░░░░░░░ was to create a ░░░░░░░░ pipeline of new wars ░░░░░░░░ the military-industrial complex.”
