We got Trump here in the Republican Party,
Dan Crenshaw is going to take on the trump wing.
Now this is not a fight you see everyday, Crenshaw pretends to
be with the Trump wing, but philosophically ideologically he is not.
So let us show you the proof.
First, representative Crenshaw.
>> China just has to prepare for subjugating their own people,
that's one of their big focuses.
And then they have to focus on screwing with us, maybe not defeating us,
maybe that's eventually their goal, but screwing with us.
Russia is primarily focused on there periphery, right,
they want the Ukraine etcetera, that that's usually what they care about.
But we have to care about everything and
it should be that way I think to many on our side hung up on this issue.
That and they pretend like it works, we can be an ostrich and hide and and
that just makes you an easy target.
That that's unbelievably naive reasoning and
dangerous reasoning and stupid, I can't say that enough.
Everybody who's ever screamed no more in this war's as their foreign policy is
a freaking idiot.
>> Everyone who has screamed no more endless wars is an idiot, hmm interesting.
Well let's go to the next video and find out who that idiot is.
>> We are ending the era of endless wars in his place
is a renewed clear eyed focus on defending America's vital interests.
It is not the duty of US troops to solve ancient conflicts in far away lands,
that many people have never even heard of.
>> Oops that looks like fighting words.
So any real reporters should ask Dan Crenshaw,
are you saying Donald Trump is an idiot?
Cuz you seem like you very clearly said that,
you said anyone including people in your own camp in the Republican Party.
Who talks about endless wars are idiots and Trump clearly said it, and
by that that's not the only time he said it.
So this is a real divide guys, it's not a fake divide, in the past they had fake
divides Tea party would be even more extreme right wing.
And the other republicans would pretend that they were against the Tea Party and
they would happily get pulled to the further and further extreme right?
Cuz it was all about tax cuts, all about deregulating business.
That was the old days when they used fake populism to get corporate handouts.
Now the Republican party is still 90% that same philosophy, but
there is an actual popular swing here.
Now, a lot of that popular swing is totally fake as well,
Donald trump what did he do, give tax cuts for the rich.
That was that's the only thing he passed, right,
but there are some issues they genuinely disagree on.
Which I'll give them credit for
in the Democratic Party disagreement is not allowed.
Any time you disagree with Pelosi or Biden, not just democrats but
everybody in mainstream media will yelling how dare you bow your head.
I mean that's what they did to Nina Turner and
her campaign in Ohio, there was the national press that was outraged.
That Nina Turner would not bow down to Joe Biden and
do everything that he commanded of her.
They said that was a giant mark against her, how dare she oppose leadership?
What does she have an independent mind?
So here I am giving credit to the right wing, no there's a real divide here
on some issues and they actually have a disagreement.
And it's real and it's not just driven by donor money, good on them.
And so in this case I'm gonna tell you which side I'm gonna come out of right,
but it's not just Donald Trump.
There are other people in the Republican Party against the endless wars.
Here's Matt Gates.
>> I think the problem is that these military contractors want to
have as many of our brave men and women spread all around the world as possible.
Cuz somebody's gotta sell them toilet paper, somebody's got to provide housing.
Somebody's there preparing the MRES and it is all about money and
I resent the hell out of it.
If you think that you can replicate America in the deserts of the Middle East,
you are seeing a mirage in that desert.
You cannot build democracies out of blood and sand and Arab militias.
The best way to show peace through strength is not to have weakness with
a diluted over deployed force and unconstitutional wars.
The way to show peace through strength is to be the most inspirational
version of ourselves.
>> Now, I hate to do it, but I agree with Matt Gates and
Donald Trump only on this issue.
But I'm not on a partisan team, I don't care, I don't work at MSNBC,
I don't have to kiss Democratic as 24 7 like they have to right?
I don't work at Fox News, I don't kiss Republican ass or Trump ass or
any of that stuff.
We're independent thinkers here,
and I I think there's a clear winner in this ideological battle.
We've done endless wars for the last 20 years, has that worked out for us?
Total disaster, wasted trillions of dollars.
And if some right wingers have now genuinely come to that position,
I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.
That's been our position for 20 straight years of TYT and for progressives.
So if they're actually representing their voters, which they are by the way,
where the voters come out on this.
There's no question there on the popular swing,
that's why the populist wing is called the popular swing.
So and on the the lives lost, the needless wars.
Now, what's unites in our case progressives that are reasonable and and
want to look out for the American voters.
And the extreme right wing here, who I disagree with on every other issue.
Matt Gates is otherwise low some character, okay,
well what unites us is that Matt Gates doesn't take corporate Pac money.
Now if you take the corporate Pac money,
some of that is gonna be Lockheed martin Raytheon.
And Boeing and Northrop Grumman, you name it all the defense contractors and
some of the top donors.
Almost everyone who takes money from those guys, both in the Republican Party and
the Democratic Party, endless budgets for defense.
Manchin said we can't afford 1.75 trillion then turned around and said yes,
the defense budget,
which at the same time period would be roughly nine trillion nine trillion.
He claimed he cared about deficits, doesn't care about any of that,
he gave it all to defense contractors who pay him.
Joe Manchin a Democrat and he's corrupt there and
by the way outside of this small popular swinging in the Republican Part.
The rest of them are corrupt as anyone could possibly be, including Dan Crenshaw.
Who talks a good populist game mainly talking about violence and guns and
you know, hating the the other side etcetera.
But at the end of the day, he's still the same old neo con that George Bush,
Dick Cheney Condoleezza Rice, all those guys were.
And a lot of the never Trumpers by the way, and other people in that camp
are Tom Cotton, Huge Neocon, Nikki Haley will get to them in a second.
But wait, I'm not done with people that I can't stand that are right on this issue,
Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Look at this, she says thank you Matt Gates for your kind words,
Republicans should oppose endless wars.
Oppose nation building and oppose needless spending,
American lives and treasure all over the world.
Trillions of dollars spent in the Middle East and over 20 years for what,
Marjorie Taylor Greene mainly funded by small dollar donors.
You might not like those donors, you might think they're nuts, but
she's not leaning on corporations, she's leaning on her grassroots.
And look at that, she's honest on this issue, interesting,
it's almost as if everyone else is under complete and
utter corporate rule and it's obviously lying to you.
So look, Marjorie Taylor Greene is nuts on other stuff,
talking about Jewish space lasers and all that insanity, right?
But it doesn't mean that corporate rule is awesome and
we should have nonstop wars because some right wingers finally agree with us.
No, there's a clear right and wrong here.
So now let's break it down, so who's on what side?
Well now you've got the populist versus the neo cons, let me show you who's who.
On the one side, you got the populist, that's Trump, Gates and
Marjorie Taylor Greene remember, especially when it comes to tax cuts for
the rich.
And corporate giveaways and etcetera, those guys are still bad guys,
they still do all of that horrible stuff that Republicans do yes
in favor of corporate rules.
So in that way they're fake populist, but at least on this issue and
maybe one or two others, they have an actual genuine populist strain to them.
Whereas Crenshaw, Cotton and
Nikki Haley are constantly pushing for war after war after war.
Many of them said go back into Afghanistan, and so and they're completely
controlled by their corporate donors including the defense contractors.
This is finally in American politics, a real difference within one party.
And then a couple of quick updates on this, of course, Liz Cheney,
she is on which side, of course she's on the neo con side.
So, Liz Cheney, which by the way, Nancy Pelosi and
Democratic leadership now love cuz they also agree with her on endless wars.
Despite the fact that they say otherwise, I'm telling you Pelosi and
others are liars.
And and certainly Biden's record indicates that he voted for
all of the wars including Iraq Hillary Clinton, same thing, John Kerry etcetera.
Liz Cheney now the beloved hero of democratic leadership,
it's the same exact position as Dick Cheney, the mother of all neocons.
Okay and finally these new neo cons are replacing the old ones which
are Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Joe Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman was also in the Democratic Party but
of course was a right wing neo Kahn, through and through, and
Lindsey Graham still around and of course still in the neo con category.
But these new young faces are coming to take their place but
is that great line or from the tv show boss,
once said change on the outside continuity on the inside.
So you've got different faces, but it's the same old corrupt game to go have our
kids get killed in foreign wars so that they can rob us of trillions of dollars.
And we we are an honest show.
So if they are correct about something, I love to point it out, and in this case,
some of the worst political actors in the country are actually definitely correct.
And fighting against the corruption in their own party, facts.
