=== Failed State Devastation (03:14) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, Chinese authorities claimed the first explosion had been triggered when the summer heat caused a highly flammable compound called nitrocellulose to spontaneously ignite.
[00:00:15]  Nearby stores of ammonium nitrate then caught fire and exploded in the major port city.
[00:00:22]  It's hard to believe that just the heat of Beirut.
[00:00:29]  Caused this.
[00:00:33]  Oh my god.
[00:00:35]  It's a horrible thing.
[00:00:39]  Then as now witnesses filmed apocalyptic, almost surreal footage showing the scale of the inferno.
[00:00:45]  150 people at least are dead.
[00:00:49]  Thousands have been injured.
[00:00:51]  Massive damage.
[00:00:53]  And Lebanon was already in...
[00:00:57]  In a terrible state.
[00:00:59]  Sort of like in a failed state.
[00:01:03]  I was mentioning to the living martyr earlier during a break, Hezbollah has ruined Lebanon.
[00:01:12]  Lebanon was the garden of the Middle East, of the Arab Middle East.
[00:01:18]  It's where the rich went to enjoy themselves.
[00:01:21]  I was in Beirut a long time ago.
[00:01:26]  And it was a thriving city.
[00:01:30]  And then the Civil War was the beginning of the end.
[00:01:36]  The radical Muslims against the rest of society.
[00:01:43]  And it's an amazing thing because people keep voting in Hezbollah like it's done any good for them.
[00:01:52]  You realize the power of emotions in the human...
[00:01:55]  Species?
[00:01:56]  How little is governed by reason?
[00:02:00]  Why would anybody vote for Hezbollah for a rational reason?
[00:02:06]  It's just a terror, totalitarian organization.
[00:02:11]  That's what it is.
[00:02:14]  I'm sure it feeds some people.
[00:02:16]  They all do.
[00:02:17]  The Nazis fed people too.
[00:02:19]  Every disgusting organization feeds people.
[00:02:22]  Otherwise they die.
[00:02:26]  Local reports that the warehouse contained fireworks.
[00:02:31]  They kept fireworks with this ammonium nitrate.
[00:02:36]  They also have lighter fluid just, you know, to help.
[00:02:45]  The picture of the, oh, the devastation.
[00:02:49]  Yeah, it's like a bomb fell, a major bomb, right?
[00:02:57]  I'm not comparing the Democrats to Hezbollah.
[00:03:00]  I want to make that clear.
[00:03:02]  But it does make me think, why do people keep re-electing Democrats in failed cities?
[00:03:11]  We have failed cities like Lebanon is a failed state.
