	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	More than mine will rest the final success or failure of our course.
	Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.
	The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
	Now the trumpet summons us again, not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though in battle we are, but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
	year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, A struggle against the common enemies of man, tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
	Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, north and south, east and west, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?
	Will you join in that historic effort?
	In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its I do not shrink from this responsibility.
	I welcome it.
	I do not believe that any of us Would exchange places with any other people or any other generation.
	The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it.
	And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
	And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
	My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
	Thank you.
	Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.
	With a good conscience, our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, Let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
	Yeah, you know it had been a while since I had heard that speech in full probably a few years ago And I kind of came across it today because I was tweeting something out.
	I said, ask not what you can do for your country.
	Ask what you can do for Israel or what your country can do for you.
	Ask what you can do for Israel and Ukraine.
	Obviously making a joke about what is asked of us today, what is asked of Americans today, because it seems like there's this unprecedented call for globalism.
	There's this unprecedented call for America to take up arms on everybody else's behalf.
	And not just take up arms, but rather to give all of our resources to these other countries.
	And when you look at how it all started, it's really not that unprecedented.
	It was a slow moving push towards where we are today.
	And actually, in the grand scheme of things, it probably isn't that slow.
	It actually happened rather quickly because America is a relatively young country.
	But in the post-World War II days to today, we started to slowly but surely become the world's policeman.
	And the way that that happened is basically other countries took advantage of the complex series of alliances that we had developed.
	The world was becoming more and more complex following both world wars.
	Now, if you liked yesterday's nerdiness, then you're definitely going to like today's nerdiness.
	We're going to be delving into the history of NATO and why it was formed because NATO has a big responsibility for what we're going to be talking about here.
	In the post-World War II days, the whole idea was, well, we need to unite with our allies to prevent something, prevent Germany from rising up again or preventing any other country essentially from rising up again and weaponizing itself against the people.
	Now, what made Germany so bad, obviously, was the fact that it was run by Hitler.
	It was, you know, there were Nazis.
	They had, I mean, and it wasn't necessarily the fact that they wanted a national identity.
	Nationalism is good, and it should not be equated with Nazism.
	That's totally different, okay?
	That was how they ran the government.
	However, having pride in your country is not a bad thing.
	And it seemed as if they overcorrected with their actions in post-World War II. Post-World War II Europe, essentially.
	What happened is it basically destroyed all of these alliances that they formed, this strong NATO alliance that they formed, among many other organizations, because they did a lot of things to sort of join hand in hand as the Western allies against evil in the world.
	Which you heard a little bit in JFK's speech there, and it's kind of why I told you guys, believe it or not, I'm actually not his biggest fan.
	I'm not his biggest hater either, but I do think you start to see the beginnings of globalism forming in his speech, and that was something that you started to hear after World War II. You know, you have to start questioning history more, not you individually as a viewer of wrong think, but I think generally people need to start looking at history with a more critical eye because the same people who are teaching us our history, the same teachers that are teaching our kids history, are the same teachers that are also teaching our kids to believe that there are more than two genders, okay?
	And the reason why I bring that up is because you can't just take things for face value.
	Not everything is as black and white as they want you to believe it is.
	There was a good and there was a bad and this is what happened and that's what happened and we needed to join hand in hand.
	We were the good guys.
	They were the bad guys.
	I mean, look at what's happening now in politics.
	They're basically trying to utilize the same concept against us.
	You have to take a side, Americans.
	Either you're with evil or you're with good.
	It's Ukraine versus Russia.
	The good guys versus the bad guys.
	And amongst all of this fighting, the side-taking that they want you to partake in, what we're really missing here is that we're a sovereign nation.
	And actually, I don't have to take a side at all.
	I don't have to take a side on any of this because I don't really owe any of these people a penny.
	That mentality used to be the norm prior to World War I, prior to World War II especially, but something changed in America after World War II and it was the rise of globalism essentially.
	Now you could make an argument that there needed to be some form of alliance after World War II to make sure that at least for the time being fascism was kept at bay, that nobody was trying to take over America, that communism was kept at bay, we were dealing with the Cold War, whatever, what have you.
	Okay, sure.
	But the reality is, it wasn't like we were just standing there and doing, you know, God's work and doing everything that's good.
	No, no.
	We were forming an alliance with nations that ultimately began to rely too much on America.
	And that was bad for America because it took away our right to nationalism.
	It took away our right to sovereignty.
	It took away our right to a national identity.
	And say what you want about a country like Russia, for example, but at least they have a national identity.
	They're not sitting here trying to go along with what everybody else is doing.
	And honestly, that's in part why they weren't a result of them not being a part of these treaties.
	You know?
	We've lost our identity.
	Through organizations like NATO, we have lost our identity the stronger we've, you know, clasped hands with the rest of Europe.
	And the reason why that is is because they have convinced us that everybody else's problems are our own.
	And they know that we're going to be everybody's bitch.
	We're gonna do everything they want us to do.
	We're gonna pick up the slack where everybody else leaves off, right?
	And the reality is, Donald Trump called them out for it.
	We're gonna be, you know, talking about that as well.
	Donald Trump was right when it came to NATO. Other people needed to pay their fair share and they didn't like it.
	Actually, the moment he called them out for it was absolutely iconic.
	We're gonna be looking at that.
	But yeah, guys, we lost our identity somewhere along the way.
	History is not as simple as it seems.
	It's not black and white.
	It's not good and bad.
	There's a lot of complexities to it, just like there is in modern politics.
	And I think it's time that we actually examine what that looked like, what exactly went on, and how that affected us today.
	Because where we're at today is a direct result of what we've allowed to happen in the past.
	Because there's a lot going on right now.
	That didn't need to happen.
	We're sending troops to the Middle East right now to fight for Israel.
	American troops are going to die for a country that is not their own.
	It didn't have to be that way.
	And guess what?
	I don't know if you know this, but we're actually training Ukrainian pilots.
	The U.S. military.
	Yep.
	Right here on our homeland.
	Do you really want your tax dollars going to that?
	You're telling me you're cool with even a morsel of your tax money going to training Ukrainian pilots?
	Yeah, I doubt you are.
	And they're not going to tell you that's what's going on, but I will today.
	Because there's a lot of crap that certainly should not be going on, but because we are now living in a post-World War II globalist society, it's unfortunately what's happened to us.
	So we're going to be dissecting the issue of losing our identity here in America on today's episode of Wrong Think Primetime.
	So stay tuned guys.
	And welcome to Wrong Thing Primetime everyone.
	Thank you so much for being here on this, what is it, Thursday night?

	Alright guys, so...
	I do want to go ahead and get started.
	Oh no, I can already sense that it's going to be another laggy day.
	I hope it's not.
	There's something wrong.
	Something in my laptop changed because I never had these issues before.
	And no, it's not that I have...
	I don't have to check my...
	What's it called?
	I don't have to check my...
	My hard drive's not full.
	What it is is that it's...
	I don't know.
	Something else is going on.
	I have to go get it fixed.
	Are you guys having issues already?
	I hope not.
	I want to go ahead and see who's in the chat.
	Freethinker26.
	We have Emmy007.
	We have CassSRumble29.
	We have Lily Creek.
	We have...
	Who else?
	Anna has a computer virus.
	Do you think?
	I don't think I do.
	Audio compressor.
	You think that's the issue?
	Dnice113, great to see you.
	ToneMan514, DirtyDoge, Echo1970, Rstar77, Fireboss1300, Hawkeyes7 says drink some more coffee, Anna.
	I have been drinking coffee all day.
	Nothing has an effect on me.
	I'm gonna need some of that Parmesan cheese, Hunter Biden.
	Just kidding, just kidding.
	That was a total joke.
	Okay, drugs are bad.
	Don't do drugs if there's any kids watching.
	And by the way, I only said Parmesan cheese, so for all you know, I'm talking about cheese.
	Anyways, ZZSwifty360 says, Anna, you are so beautiful and so with it.
	Man, oh man, you are perfect.
	Give me a shout out if you ever visit the UK. Well, I'll give you a shout out now, ZZSwifty360.
	You rock, and I appreciate that.
	More coffee, Anna, says Hawkeye7.
	I know, I'm sorry, Hawkeye7.
	I literally can't do three things at once.
	I'm hosting a show, I'm producing it.
	I can't make more coffee.
	I need an assistant.
	Does anyone want to work for free That would be cool.
	Let's see.
	Willie Bond.
	What else do we have?
	What else do we have?
	Who else do we have, should I say?
	I have to record a show after this, in addition to what I've already done today.
	Echo1970.
	I think I said hi to you.
	Glenn Dean.
	Let's see.
	Who else?
	Lily Creek.
	Deborah Marie.
	Great to see you.
	One squid.
	Squid.
	Okay, so I don't want to spend too much in the chat because Firebasa snorting cheese would be bad.
	Yes, snorting anything is bad.
	Don't do that.
	I watch a lot of those reality shows where people have plastic surgery issues and they have to go to those doctors that have to do reconstruction work.
	And there are so many people with crazy life stories.
	Like this one woman, her nose was almost completely deteriorated because she was so into drugs.
	She was so into cocaine.
	So if that's not enough of a deterrent, I don't know what is because you don't want your nose to disappear.
	That's insane.
	Um, let's see.
	I'll work for free as a fire boss.
	Well, well, you know what?
	Uh, I'm not gonna turn that down.
	I'm not gonna turn that down.
	I do need an intern.
	Uh, don't snort your Field of Greens, guys, says Realtor Dan Grimes.
	Yes, don't do that.
	Don't do that.
	I don't recommend you do that.
	I do recommend you buy some because Field of Greens is an amazing supplement that I do drink every day, so it does help.
	But, um, but yeah, I'm past the point of really anything at this point.
	I've just However, guys, I do want to go ahead and get started because I'm actually really excited to get into the history of globalism on the show, which is essentially what is causing the lack of sovereignty in this country.
	The fact that we're being told we're not allowed to be nationalists.
	We're not allowed to put our own country first.
	It's actually quite sad, the predicament we found ourselves in.
	And that predicament, of course, is the fact that we're giving and giving and giving and giving to foreign nations.
	And not only are we doing that, guys, we are fighting on behalf of foreign nations.
	Take a look at this.
	While everybody else was distracted with everything else, the US government just sent 900 US troops to the Middle East to bolster defenses as attack surge.
	And I don't know if you guys have been being updated on this or if you've been reading about it, whatever it might be, but there's a lot going on.
	There's been a lot of attacks on US troops that...
	The president hasn't really been telling us about.
	About 900 more U.S. troops have arrived in the Middle East or are heading there to bolster their air defenses for U.S. personnel amid a surge in attacks by Iran-affiliated groups, the Pentagon said on Thursday.
	As tensions soar over the Israel-Hamas war, U.S. and coalition troops have been attacked at least 12 times.
	12 times!
	Did anybody tell you that?
	I know they didn't tell me that.
	Twelve times.
	I had to actually do extensive research to find this out.
	In Iraq and four times in Syria in the last week, Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told reporters, a total of 21 U.S. forces have suffered minor injuries, the vast majority of them traumatic brain injuries.
	The United States has sent warships and fighter aircrafts to the region since the conflict erupted on October 7th, including two aircraft carriers to try to deter Iran and Iran-backed groups.
	The number of troops added to the region is in the thousands.
	Ryder said U.S. forces were again targeted earlier on Thursday in Iraq, but the attack failed.
	So guys, yeah, we're doing a lot for another country, especially another country that honestly doesn't do that much for us.
	And that's not even really the point.
	The point is, we've become so invested in other countries' business.
	And we don't actually ever think about it.
	Everybody gives you...
	They always give you two options.
	You're either on the side of Palestine or you're on the side of Israel.
	Well, what if I'm just on the side of the United States of America?
	What if that's not even my...
	It's not my prerogative.
	I mean, it's not my...
	It's not on me to take a side in this.
	It has nothing to do...
	We deserve that as a country.
	We deserve to be able to stay out of these conflicts.
	But yet we don't offer ourselves that.
	And we're told it's because we have to defend our allies.
	But that's the mess.
	That's what's gotten us into this mess.
	Because the more we defend those said allies...
	The more that we upset the enemy.
	The enemy that didn't have to be our enemy to begin with.
	In fact, guys, we have taken such a strong stance with Israel that Iran essentially threatened US troops.
	Take a look at this.
	I say frankly to the American statesmen who are in Palestine that we do not welcome to expansion of the war in the region.
	But I warn if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.
	It is our home, and West Asia is our region.
	We do not compromise with any party and any side, and we have no reservation when it comes to our home's security.
	So they're threatening United States troops.
	Why?
	Because we're backing Israel.
	Now, everybody likes to make the argument.
	Everybody that's extremely pro-Israel likes to make the argument.
	Well, if you don't defend Israel, then they're going to come for you next.
	If we can't hold the line at Israel, they're going to come for you next.
	Okay, well, that doesn't make sense because the reason they're coming for us to begin with is because we have taken such a strong stance with Israel.
	Had we not gone out there, sent our troops?
	We have actually deployed troops, sent billions of dollars, done so much for them.
	Had we not done that, do you seriously think that we would be getting that threat?
	Do you think these leaders are so unreasonable that they would want to start a fight with the United States of America?
	No!
	No!
	Because this complex series of alliances that we've been bought into Has led us to a position where we're not even given the option to have sovereignty.
	We don't have an identity anymore.
	We don't tell ourselves, well, wait a second, that doesn't seem right.
	Because conflict after conflict after conflict after international conflict, we tend to just keep getting involved, keep getting involved.
	And we think we learn from one to the other, but we don't.
	We don't.
	Because we've been having this problem for the entirety of modern history, literally.
	Literally.
	We just can't keep our hands out of a major foreign conflict.
	At what point can we just say no?
	Well, we'll be examining that in the second part of the show, but first I want to go through some more news that came out, because it's not just Israel, obviously, that we're doing all of the work for.
	No, it's also Ukraine.
	Take a look at this.
	I didn't even know that this was going on in our country, so it absolutely shocked me, but I shouldn't say absolutely shocked.
	I'm not exactly surprised.
	I just didn't know it was happening.
	Take a look at this.
	Ukrainian pilots begin training on F-16 fighter jets in Arizona.
	A small number of Ukrainian pilots have begun training in the U.S. to fly F-16 jets, with training expected to last several months.
	An Air Force spokesperson told CNN that the pilots will train with the 162nd Wing Air Force.
	Of the Arizona Air National Guard, which is a unit specializing in training and international partners to fly the jets.
	Training for the pilots began after the pilots completed language training at the Defense Language Institute, English Language Center in San Antonio, Texas.
	These pilots arrived in the U.S. in late September.
	The U.S. is planning on training around 200 pilots once they complete their language training.
	It gets worse.
	Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made repeated requests for F-16 fighter jets to aid in the war against Russia.
	With a coalition of countries led by Denmark pledging to provide Ukraine with the jets and train the pilots, the U.S. announced in August that it would train a small number of pilots to aid European countries with limited capacity for training.
	Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in August the U.S. would approve the third-party transfer of the jets as soon as training is completed.
	The US having to sign off on these transfers because of F-16 jets are American technology.
	You have my assurance that we will expedite approval of the requisite third-party transfer requests in time to enable delivery when the training is completed, including required notification to our Congress, wrote Blinken in letters to his Dutch and Danish counterparts in August.
	Biden authorized the sending of F-16 jets to Ukraine despite stating in 2022 of the action that's called World War III. Yeah, we know it is, you idiot.
	And yet you're doing it.
	We're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews.
	Just understand.
	Don't kid yourself.
	Don't kid yourself.
	That's how he would say it.
	He would be like stumbling over his own words.
	No matter what y'all say, that's called World War III, Biden said.
	Okay, well, I guess then we're in World War III. You said it yourself, your own words.
	In January, was asked if he would send F-16s to Ukraine and responded simply no.
	He indicated that he thought a move like that would lead to World War III. And yet here we are.
	Here we are.
	I guess we must be in World War III now, which we obviously are.
	Nobody's gonna come out and say it, but that's literally what's going on right now.
	And every single time a world war happens, which has only been two times, and this will now be our third, we tell ourselves, how can we fix this problem?
	How can we fix this problem?
	Well, we wind up making the problem a lot worse because we just strengthen our alliance against the bad guys, and then every time something happens to one of those allies, then we get involved in another world war to defend that nation.
	And that, no one wants to say it, but it's called globalism.
	And I always say this, there's a reason why the United States of America wanted to stay out of the French Revolution.
	There's a reason why they made it a point to stay out of that.
	Now, for the starters, it was because we had no money and we were starting a new country.
	But you can bet your bottom dollar that if America back then was run by the people who run America today...
	They would find some way to fund those wars.
	They would take it out of taxpayers' pockets.
	I mean, back then they couldn't really have an income tax.
	But they would find some way to put this country in debt.
	And that's the key word here, debt.
	Debt.
	They will drain our banks.
	They will drain our pockets for these other countries.
	They, meaning the globalists, the elites.
	This whole system of alliances, the fact that we need to go to war for all these other countries, we think that there are Republicans out there, neocons specifically, that think that that's a tough thing for America to do.
	We're the badasses.
	We're here to save the day.
	Actually, no.
	What you're doing is you're following in line with what the globalists want.
	Because all of these treaty organizations, NATO and such, the reason why they exist is to strengthen globalism and weaken nationalism.
	Because when they force you to take a side in any sort of national conflict, when you hear your politicians debating for hours, for hours, using our tax money to pay their salaries over whether or not they should be giving another foreign aid package to another country that most Americans have never even been to, When your politicians are spending all that time doing that, what does that say about the state of your country?
	Does it really say, does it really scream to the rest of the world that we're a serious sovereign nation?
	No.
	No.
	It says that you can take advantage of me because I'll be anybody's bitch that they want me to be.
	And that's exactly what America has become.
	You see people in this country waving around Palestinian flags, Israeli flags, Russian flags, Ukrainian flags.
	What about the damn American flag?
	Have you forgotten who you are?
	If you're in this country, if you're an American citizen, I don't give a damn where your grandma came from or where your mom came from or where your dad came from.
	You are American and start waving the red, white, and blue because this is your country now.
	And if you don't care about that, if you don't value that, then go somewhere else.
	But I'm sick and I'm tired of sitting here taking shit from everybody else telling me that I'm the bad guy because I want a nationalist country.
	That I'm a bad guy because I refuse to take a side in a conflict that I do not want the United States involved in.
	I guess that makes me a bad Christian.
	I guess that makes me a bad American for not wanting more spilled blood.
	The more countries that get involved in this, the worse of a war it becomes.
	Don't you see?
	I don't understand how people don't understand this logic.
	I'm left to assume that they want this to happen because it's pretty clear to me.
	It's pretty obvious to me what's going on here.
	They're weakening our sovereignty.
	They're weakening us.
	When you weaken our sovereignty, you weaken this country.
	You're weakening what unifies us.
	Diversity is not our strength.
	Sitting here arguing over who's better, Palestine or Israel, sitting here arguing whether Russia's better than Ukraine is an utter waste of time, and all it does is weaken us as a nation.
	We should be able to unite behind the fact that we're American.
	The things we should be fighting over are Democrat versus Republican.
	If we're gonna fight over anything, I know that's a crazy thing to say, but honestly, I would rather us fight over taxes.
	I would rather us fight over student loan debt.
	I would rather us fight over things that actually affect American citizens.
	Even if I don't agree with it.
	I'd love to sit here and have a debate over whether or not Joe Biden should pay off student loans because I'd win and I don't think he should pay him off.
	But at least, at least we'd be talking about an issue that is worth our time because it's an issue that actually affects Americans here at home.
	What have we become?
	What have we become?
	I am ashamed.
	Sitting here watching the news, watching pundits argue over Israel and Palestine.
	What's going on?
	No!
	What about our own home?
	What about the place we have to wake up to every single morning?
	What about that?
	Does that count for anything anymore?
	Geez.
	And I didn't mean to go on that rant too early on because I actually have one last thing I want to show you.
	And this is really going to set me over the edge because you know what?
	I'm already worked up, obviously.
	But take a look at this.
	I act like I'm seeing it for the first time, but I'm really not.
	Biden admin to give another $150 million of military aid package to Ukraine.
	According to VOA News Voice of America, that would be, sources familiar with the matter revealed that the package could be provided to Ukraine as soon as next Wednesday.
	The military officials who spoke to the outlet under conditions of anonymity.
	Oh my gosh, it's that word again.
	You guys know, I can't...
	Anonymity.
	Anonymity.
	Oh my gosh, I finally said it.
	Finally.
	Okay, Ukraine will receive GMLRS rockets for high-mobility artillery rocket systems, HIMARS, munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, NASAMS, TOW anti-tank missiles, AIM-9 sidewinder missiles, and 155mm rounds.
	Okay, I know about...
	That's about 30-40% of what I just read there.
	But that just goes to tell you how much we're giving to this other country.
	The government has gone way more out of their way for Ukraine than they ever have for their own citizens.
	But that's been the story for quite some time.
	Anyways, the inclusion of the latter has caused concern among some, given the fact that Ukraine is not the only American ally in need of them.
	Israel has also requested them from the United States as they continue fighting against the Ukrainian-backed Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
	But what about our allies?
	What are our allies?
	They need us!
	They need us!
	Oh, our allies!
	Our allies!
	Shut up!
	Don't you get it?
	When you give a mouse a cookie, it is a children's book that most politicians today should probably start reading.
	Yeah.
	Because guess what?
	That's exactly what we've done.
	We've given the mouse a cookie and more mice have been scurrying around us, running towards the United States, and they're taking and taking and taking and taking not just the cookies, but the cheese, the meat, and everything else, the military supplies, the actual people taking them, pulling them into their wars.
	What more do they want from us?
	But we keep giving and giving and giving.
	Why?
	Because we're so obsessed with everybody else And we don't give a damn about ourselves.
	We don't give a damn about the people who are suffering in this country.
	We only seem to care when it's everybody else.
	And this is a real neocon problem, too, because the same people who will jump up and go to war for Ukraine are also the same people that will say, well, all those homeless veterans, they need to fend for themselves.
	Capitalism works, which I agree with.
	I'm all in for capitalism, obviously.
	But if you're going to sit here and you're going to say that it's the fault of the homeless veteran for not being able to pull themselves up from their bootstraps, but then you suddenly have a leading heart for the Ukrainians, what logic is this coming from?
	That's not a consistent stream of logic.
	I hope you realize that, neocons.
	My goodness.
	If you're going to give to anybody, can you at least start thinking about your own country?
	You know you're allowed to love your country, you know that.
	You know that being patriotic is okay.
	You know that you don't have to have an opinion on everybody else's problems.
	You realize that's okay, America, right?
	Well, I guess not, because we've completely lost our national identity, it seems.
	And we're going to be talking about more of the historical context as to why that happened, actually.
	But before we do that, I do want to go ahead and ask you to hit the thumbs up on this video if you haven't already.
	And I also want to go ahead and see what you guys are saying in the chat.
	Nima June 62 says, can't imagine how the Maui survivors feel.
	I know.
	Never forget about them.
	Baby Steeler says, Nima June, are you talking about the CIA? Oh, I have the chat up here.
	Let's see.
	It's like anybody raising and taking care of their neighbor and their family versus their own.
	Common sense.
	Shoot that.
	Neglect and abuse.
	Absolutely.
	Let's see.
	We love worked up Anna.
	It's what we come here for, says Echo1970.
	True.
	Dan Durer says, you have a good heart, Anna.
	Love your passion.
	Keep on ranting.
	Thank you, Dan.
	I appreciate that.
	One...
	One quid squid says the prohibition of this system must be laid down as a preliminary article of perpetual peace, all the more necessarily because the final inevitable bankruptcy of the state in question must involve in.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And I'm going to be playing a clip of Alex Jones basically laying out partly what you just said there, which is the fact that they're literally squeezing money out of us.
	They are running us into debt.
	Really what this is, we talk about communism here in the context of America.
	We talk about how the reason communism doesn't work is because when they say they want equality for everyone, what they don't tell you is that that equality, they don't take it from the very top.
	They don't say, oh, everybody's going to be living like Jeff Bezos.
	Everybody's going to have all these million trillion dollar mansions, have all of these yachts, have all All these supermodel wives and girlfriends, although Jeff Bezos is his wife or girlfriend, whatever.
	She's scary looking.
	She looks like Steven Tyler.
	But anyways, that's another.
	I'm not here to insult her.
	I just, I don't, wouldn't be my choice of woman if I were as rich as Jeff Bezos.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	I said it.
	But point is, it's not like we're all going to be like that.
	When they say communism, they mean we're all living.
	Like, in poverty.
	We're all gonna be living probably lower than, I would say, blue collar.
	I would say we're gonna be living in absolute poverty.
	Not that there's anything wrong with being blue collar.
	I'm just saying, like, it's not like they're gonna make us ultra, ultra wealthy.
	And so the same thing with globalism.
	When we team up with these allies, when we convinced ourselves after World War II that A, we needed to team up with these allies in some ways, that we don't have another Germany on the rise or another Russia on the rise or whatever it might be.
	We didn't want communism to spread.
	That was the whole idea behind it.
	Okay, I'm with you.
	I get that.
	But then what happened is we went so far as actually starting to lose our own identity in that whole grouping.
	And that's the whole problem with it.
	There's a reason why countries exist.
	There's a reason why we have borders.
	Because when that border ends, you're then in another country's territory and those borders need to be distinguished.
	Meaning, and I don't mean that physically speaking, literally speaking, I mean figuratively speaking.
	We need to represent There's no reason why we need to represent the interests of Sweden.
	There's no reason why we need to represent the interests of Finland or France or Canada even.
	Like, these are all sovereign nations, so why is it that it's up to us?
	To represent them in this group.
	But what's happened is that they've seen the United States' success, military success, our wealth, our success in many other realms, right?
	GDP, growth.
	And they looked at us and they kind of started drooling and they were like, ooh, well, they're with us now and we're just going to make them pay.
	And so what they're trying to do is they're trying to, it's communism, but for the world.
	That's what globalism is.
	They're trying to level the playing field But instead of everybody being like the United States, all of our allies being up like us, it's no, let's sink the United States down so we're all leveled.
	We're just going to keep, you know, mooching off of them for their resources until they're just as shitty as the rest of us.
	Now, I'm talking about the first world here.
	I'm talking about the West.
	European countries are not third world countries, obviously, at least Western European countries.
	However, there's still not...
	We're not in quite as good of shape as the United States, and most people will say that, especially when it comes to the military and our defense resources.
	And part of the reason why that is is because we're isolated, so we have a lot of advantages to having that.
	You know, we've been able to build ourselves up sort of on our own.
	It wasn't until World War II when all the European countries started looking at us being like, Well, well, well.
	Nice, uh, tank you got there.
	Wouldn't mind if I, uh, took a couple, right?
	And then we were like, oh, I guess.
	And then suddenly we were in World War I, then we were in World War II, and then we signed up for NATO, and then it all went downhill from there.
	I basically just summed up the second part of my show in, like, two minutes.
	But actually, there's a lot more to it.
	We'll be talking about that.
	Um...
	Glendine says, how could America ever run out of toilet paper after we have won two world wars?
	Glendine.
	Oh, I'm all the way up at the top.
	But I'm meant to be...
	D-Nice1113 says, Anna, with the wisdom, globalism is communism for the world.
	Bullseye perfectly said.
	It is.
	It is.
	And I'm surprised that nobody else has really...
	I haven't explained it that way yet.
	I mean, I haven't heard it that way yet, at least.
	15-Minute Smart Cities, sign me up for those not, says D-Nice.
	I know.
	And they're coming.
	I did a whole show on Smart Cities, I mean, 15-Minute Cities, not long ago.
	I think it was within my second or third week of the show.
	Let's see.
	We love you, Anna, says Fireboss1300.
	Please go ahead and like the show if you haven't already.
	That would really help me out.
	What did somebody say?
	Someone was complimenting me, and I want to read the rest of the compliment.
	I'm 100, Anna, says Fireboss.
	I don't know what that means, but I'm glad you're 100.
	Let's see.
	Side note, everyone, please follow LFA's channel if you haven't yet.
	Anna has a daily show at 3 p.m.
	there, too.
	Next to SPN was my score find.
	Aw, thanks, Cass.
	You're the best.
	Cass is so nice.
	She's always helping me out, helping me get the word out there.
	Oh, Lily Creek says, love your sweater, Anna.
	Super cute.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	Freethinker says, the dude looks like a lady.
	Oh, you're probably talking about Jeff Bezos' wife.
	I just knew you were based on that description.
	Inflation is the waste product of an economy, says one quid squid.
	You're absolutely correct.
	How special?
	Maybe Antarctica can ask for assistance also, says rstar77.
	Absolutely.
	But yes, that's exactly what's going on here.
	Oh, it's 9.45.
	I want to move on.
	Oh, crap.
	I hope I get to everything that I want to get to.
	It's just that my laptop's freezing like crazy.
	It's really bothering me.
	Everything takes forever to load.
	But basically guys, this is where we're at.
	We're in a position where for some reason it's been expected of us that we're going to put everybody before ourselves and we've actually done it.
	And I think the reason why they expect it from us is because we've been all too willing to actually do it.
	Now I've been referring to NATO a lot throughout this entire show because I do believe that's kind of the root of our evil here.
	Not just NATO itself, but rather the entirety of All of those few years after World War II, that was really our downfall because we were so scared here in the West of an uprising like Germany again.
	We were so scared that there was going to be another dictator that wanted to take over the world and wipe everybody out.
	And that's a valid fear.
	I don't want to be taken out by another country.
	But the irony in all of that is they fought their fear using...
	the same problem.
	So they were worried that a dictator was gonna take over the world.
	So instead they just formed this alliance that basically took over the world and destroyed everybody's sovereignty.
	Now, the funny thing is, the reason why other countries are actually okay with this is because they benefit off of mooching off from America.
	Also, and I've said this many times, I saw this comment on a video of a woman who was from America who was talking about Europe, and she was saying, Europe this, Europe that, the American woman was, and some European woman was like, why is it that when Americans talk about Europe, they always make it sound like it's one place?
	I don't know, that's my ambiguous European accent.
	And I thought to myself, because you kind of are.
	You have no difference between country to country, and that is only your own fault.
	Truly.
	We have made it a point, even in our darkest hours, and I do think that it's falling apart.
	I think we're less sovereign than ever before, obviously.
	But we have made it a point, at least compared to these European nations, to maintain a sovereign nation.
	That's kind of the beauty of America, and again, that's one of the advantages to being geographically isolated.
	Although I also credit the spirit of Americans for so long.
	Now, sadly, that has been bred out of our country, because I do think that even though it does exist to a degree...
	All of our brave men, a lot of our brave men have been dying in wars and they don't reproduce or if they do, not enough.
	And then we wind up losing the bravery genes and now we're stuck with a lot of sheep.
	That's a whole other topic, you know?
	I'm not going to get too far into that.
	The point is, guys, NATO destroyed our sovereignty.
	I don't know how I went all the way back there.
	But anyways, but yeah, because what happened is it forced the forced America, a sovereign nation to be on the same in the same field as these European nations.
	And the reality is we're not on the same level.
	Like we're not the same Europe, Europe and America.
	We are not the same.
	But you forced us to come together.
	And out of fear of another Hitler uprising, we did it.
	Maybe out of fear.
	Maybe the elites knew better.
	Maybe Winston Churchill actually knew better.
	a wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	I maybe have a conspiracy theorist on that.
	But before we move on, I just want to give you context exactly because I can be a little jumpy when I explain things, so don't worry.
	I have a video explaining exactly what NATO is and how it formed and why it formed following World War II. NATO. Formation of the North Atlantic Treaty.
	In April 1949, NATO, which stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was formed by several Western powers.
	This would be a collective military alliance which would stop Soviet aggression and prevent a repeat of nationalist militarism in Europe.
	By joining together, if one nation was attacked, the others would defend it militarily, under one command.
	Lord Hastings' Lionel Ismay, NATO's first Secretary-General, said NATO was created to keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.
	NATO was formed for a number of reasons in 1949.
	So far, the United States had initiated the Marshall Plan, which would help fund the rebuilding of Western Europe and encourage greater cooperation between Europe and the United States.
	The ongoing Berlin blockade from 1948 particularly stressed an urgency to do so.
	The Soviet Union had cut off access to Berlin, so supplies had to be airlifted in by the United States, Britain and France.
	The Soviet Union had expanded its influence across Eastern Europe, installing communist governments in their countries, forming the Eastern Bloc.
	China, too, was close to a communist victory.
	A Soviet-sponsored coup in Czechoslovakia also resulted in a full communist takeover in February 1948.
	The North Atlantic Treaty would be signed on April 4th, 1949 in Washington, D.C. Twelve countries signed it and became its members.
	They were the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Italy, and Portugal.
	Now the United States could have a military presence in Europe which enabled a more immediate retaliation in case of a Soviet attack.
	This extended to a doctrine of massive retaliation, where NATO members would use nuclear weapons on the USSR as a last resort.
	This would also enable these countries to spend more on their economies rather than large-scale armies.
	The collective power of the 12 nations who promised to defend each other if one was attacked worked as a deterrent, demonstrating to the Soviet Union that Western Europe would defend itself against Soviet aggression and expansionism.
	Smaller countries would also now be more secure as a result of having more powerful nations defending them.
	More countries would join NATO later, including Greece and Turkey in 1952, West Germany in 1955, and Spain in 1982.
	In 1966, France withdrew from the military command structure of NATO, but remained a part of the NATO alliance.
	In 1954, the Soviet Union itself suggested that it should join NATO to preserve peace in Europe.
	This was rejected by NATO members because they feared that the USSR's motive was to weaken the alliance.
	The threat of West Germany's entry into NATO in 1955 caused the USSR to retaliate by forming the Warsaw Pact.
	Like NATO, a collective military was formed, but signed among the Soviet satellite states of Eastern Europe and was dominated by the USSR.
	NATO continues to this day.
	Subscribe and click the notification bell button to get notified when a new Simple History episode is out.
	So it's actually more of a debate than people let on.
	It's more of a debate than people let on.
	NATO is not as black and white as they make it out to be.
	That's kind of what I mean.
	They make it sound like it's so necessary, like it's so good, like it was the perfect solution to, you know, another world war.
	But I would argue it's actually gotten us into a third world war.
	And the reason why we're in what we're in, the predicament that we're in, is over NATO. That's the irony in all of it, if you really think about what it comes down to.
	As far as...
	You know, what's going on with Ukraine and Russia.
	I mean, you've heard me talk about Putin on the show.
	He's been very clear about the fact that he feels as though Russia has been sort of left out out of the global conversation, that there was this decision made after World War II, that a certain few select countries, and then they added a few as time went on, obviously, but that those NATO countries were going to decide the world order.
	We think that We already don't live under a new world order.
	Well, the difference is we do live under a world order.
	It's just not new.
	I mean, it's growing and it has grown.
	It has changed and evolved over time, but it's grown progressively worse because we're told that the stronger NATO is, the better the world is.
	But I don't understand how that's any better than a tyrant like Hitler taking over the world.
	Because even though NATO does not stand for Nazis or anything like that, the point is, I don't want any of the world to be taken over by one group, one person.
	I want countries to be able to have their sovereignty.
	And so it's like we fought one evil with another evil, meaning we decided that, well, we just don't want Hitler taking over, but we'll take over the world.
	And the consequence of that has been that the United States, because it's the strongest country in the group, because we have been the ones to save the day time and time again, we're the ones that they continuously mooch off of.
	And that's how we've lost our sovereignty.
	That's how we've lost our national identity.
	We're told that we're not allowed to think of ourselves in any conflict.
	It has to be everybody else.
	And that's why Donald Trump was very clear about the fact that he was like, hey, no, if I'm going to be president, we're going to make America great again.
	And that means standing up for ourselves in NATO.
	That means telling all of these other countries that they need to pay their fair share.
	They were relying so much on the United States, far beyond what any American citizen really realized, because we don't really think about it.
	That's the whole problem with these things like NATO. They've existed for so long, we have this inherent trust of them.
	We don't actually actively think about it.
	Well, we should be actively thinking about the things that our tax money goes to.
	So Donald Trump actually stood up for us at the NATO conference, and this was actually kind of an iconic moment, because all of the NATO countries were looking at him like, We didn't actually think he'd do it.
	But anyways, here's a flashback for you.
	The future must include a great focus as well as threats from Russia and on NATO's eastern and southern borders.
	These grave security concerns are the same reason that I have been very, very direct With Secretary Stoltenberg and members of the Alliance in saying that NATO members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligations.
	But 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying what they should be paying and what they are supposed to be paying for their defense.
	This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States, and many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years, and not paying in those past years.
	Over the last eight years, the United States spent more on defense than all other NATO countries combined.
	If all NATO members had spent just 2% of their GDP on defense last year, We would have had another $119 billion for our collective defense and for the financing of additional NATO reserves.
	We should recognize that with these chronic underpayments and growing threats, even 2% of GDP is insufficient to close the gaps in modernizing, readiness, And the size of forces we have to make up for the many years lost.
	Two percent is the bare minimum for confronting today's very real and very vicious threats.
	If NATO countries made their full and complete contributions, then NATO would be even stronger than it is today.
	Yeah, he's right.
	The irony in all of that is that they were kind of going after Trump for wanting to destroy NATO by asking countries to simply pay their fair share, but actually it made NATO stronger in a way because they have a whole fund of money to grab from, right?
	They have a slush fund of money, if you will.
	Now, my argument would be I'm not necessarily in favor of NATO growing at all.
	I think the United States should pull out of NATO. I think it shouldn't exist.
	I mean, I do see the political advantage to being in it because, quite honestly, if we're not, then NATO will be even worse and I would trust it even less.
	But I also just don't want it to exist at all.
	That's the point.
	I don't think this complex series of alliances is actually protecting us from anything.
	I think quite the opposite.
	I think all it's done is get us further and further and further down a path where we will certainly get involved in a World War III, which now we're seeing the very beginnings of that.
	So case in point, guys.
	Our entire sovereignty, all of our sovereignty has been eroded by NATO. It's been eroded by this idea that for some reason we have to be having these discussions and debates over how much money we have to give these other nations.
	And I want to end this segment on a clip from Alex Jones because he painted a perfect picture of what's going on.
	He actually said He's absolutely correct because that's ultimately what is going to happen here in the United States.
	We are going to fight and give out money, tons of money, to a point of exhaustion.
	We will exhaust ourselves.
	I'm calling it now.
	The United States will become a third world debtor state because we have not been allowed to maintain our sovereignty.
	We have refused to, in fact.
	We have lost it.
	We have lost our national identity in this quest to protect ourselves from big bad evils like another Hitler.
	Which...
	Again, you're just creating another entity to worry about, which is NATO again.
	But here is Alex, like I said, pointing out a very real concern that could be a big part of our future.
	Winning hearts and minds.
	The polls all over the world show populist anti-globalists are surging and are the new dominant force and winning everywhere, but they're using the federal police agencies and courts all over the world to then indict frontrunners or indict people once they've won.
	We're now seeing that.
	In Argentina, it's happening with President Trump.
	As they go after not just Trump, but obviously all of his key captains and supporters were all under this attack.
	And we see the US credit rating being lowered a few months ago.
	We're being positioned by BlackRock and the top globalist companies into being a giant third world debtor state.
	And when we see the poll numbers, the vast majority of Americans don't want More money for Ukraine.
	And so Biden says a few weeks ago, I want $200 billion right now.
	And he's now settling for $100 billion and they're tying it to sympathy for Israel where they're going to get $10 billion, $15 billion or something.
	But the rest then is all going to go to Ukraine and then laundered right back into the Democratic Party.
	So you're absolutely right.
	This is the Uniparty trying to fight the populist Trump beachhead that we have in the Republican Party.
	And we have Homeland Security listing Trump supporters as potential terrorists, putting them in a new database.
	And this is the death rattle.
	This is the flailing of the corrupt establishment trying to bully us back under their control.
	So yes, we're winning.
	And as you've been saying, we're forcing the mass to come off.
	We're forcing them to make all these unprecedented totalitarian moves.
	And that's only going to accelerate the Great Awakening.
	So we have the immovable object, the deep state, Swamp coming into collision with the unstoppable force and in that you're going to have an explosion.
	And that's why I believe that the deep state is gearing up false flags.
	It's why I predicted five weeks ago that you would see major attacks on Israel and then an Islamic Jihad explosion around the world because that was one of the final pieces they had.
	They've had The COVID lockdowns to try to control us and bring in the world currency and the world ID and the social credit score and the vaccine passport to Bill Gates and the UN with a CHICOM design.
	It's a CHICOM computer program at the UN that's been set up.
	That's official for over a year.
	So they needed COVID to get that done.
	They needed the climate hysteria to try to force it through.
	Now they're saying they're going to use water crises, debt crises, and military conflict crises.
	If you go watch the World Economic Forum summits that they have every week in just the last two months, they now are openly saying, our globalist empire is failing, and then they list the things.
	A whole bunch of their top speakers, I've played the clips on my show, Where they say what I just said in their own words.
	So they're not even hiding it at the administrative, technocracy, academic level.
	So if people ask, how do you know what's going to happen next?
	Does Steve Bannon have a crystal?
	How does Alex Jones know?
	And the answer is no.
	We have three dental plans, and we know what their next is going to be, and we're in the middle up to the good governors, it's up to the good attorney generals, it's up to the good members of Congress who have the initiative and who have the force of right And the moral imperative behind us to just keep pushing harder because they're going to loot and bankrupt this country and try to take full control regardless.
	So the best way to fight this is just be all in, lean into it, and get back in their grill and then point out their hypocrisy.
	Yeah, Alex is 100% right.
	That's what this is all about, guys.
	They wanted us to lose our sovereignty, lose our national identity so that they could take whatever they wanted from us.
	A weaker America meant that all of these other countries were benefiting from our resources, our hard-earned and hard-paid-for resources.
	We have worked so hard to attain this country.
	In the revolution, obviously.
	We have worked so hard to maintain this country, and we have worked so hard to keep this country in a place where we could actually be proud of it.
	We have worked so hard to raise our children to be proud of their country, and yet they're being brainwashed by so many people around them, influenced by these globalists that want to see America fail.
	That is what's going on here, guys.
	They took away our national identity so that we would be more willing to give in to these other countries.
	And in the meantime, we were also convinced.
	We were also lied to about our history.
	We were told that NATO can do no wrong, that it was established because of this good reason, that there is such thing as good and evil in world politics, and that NATO simply existed to fight evil.
	Well, maybe there was once a time when they did.
	Maybe there was once a time when NATO was necessary.
	But ask yourselves a truly serious question.
	Does America really benefit from NATO that much, or is it other countries that do?
	Is there really a purpose to be involved in NATO other than, of course, helping other countries?
	Because as far as I'm concerned, that's exactly all we've done with it.
	All we've done is come to the aid of other countries whenever there's a terrorist attack, whenever there's this or that or whatever, what have you.
	That is what NATO exists to do.
	It exists to weaken our sovereignty, at least in today's world.
	Again, There was a time when we needed to fight evil, when we needed to stop that, but you have to be very careful about your solutions.
	You cannot have the cure be worse or equal to the disease.
	And I mean that figuratively, but we saw the same thing with COVID. Trump pointed that all the time.
	He said, well, you cannot have the cure be worse than the disease.
	And in that case, it was literally, because it was about a disease.
	Except for the cure was to stay locked up in your house, not go to work, not make money for your family, and not live a normal life.
	Well, is that really a cure if it's just destroying your life, cutting off your nose to spite your face?
	No, it's not.
	And the same thing goes for destroying our national identity because we have destroyed it.
	And if we have any hope of getting it back, we're going to need world leaders.
	Not world leaders, sorry, that's worse.
	We're going to need our leaders, United States leaders, politicians, our president.
	Which we don't have right now.
	We just have some vegetable who's being led around by Obama.
	The point is we're going to need a new president in 2024 who will do that.
	Who will bring back our sovereignty.
	Who will tell us to be sovereign.
	Who will tell us to be proud and nationalist and strong.
	And be proud of our sovereignty.
	Not the other way around.
	So anyways, guys, I have successfully gone six minutes over.
	Sorry for going over so much, guys.
	I really appreciate you all being here today.
	I do have to end it there because I have gone so over.
	Thank you so much for tuning in.
	Again, I'm sorry for the glitches.
	I'm going to seriously take a look at it.
	I just genuinely haven't had the time to sit down and try and troubleshoot the tech issues, but I will do that because I know that it's a pain in the butt to have to deal with that.
	But I appreciate your patience, guys.
	Thank you once again for tuning in today.
	And also, please rumble on your way out.
	Share the link on your social media.
	Send it to your family and friends.
	Because we're just getting started here at Wrong Think Prime Time.
	And I know it's just going to get better and better as we go on.
	Hope you enjoyed the history today.
	I will see you back here tomorrow for another episode of Wrong Think Prime Time.
