Destiny
Like, regardless what you feel, Trump is politically fudgeing retarded. Like, he picks way too many fights. He can't focus on anything he doesn't know how to get. Like, PR wins. The biggest that I have to do when the left, like, fights against him, Like, ICE is important. Like, a border is important. Having, like, an actual immigration policy where we know who's in the country. Like, these are important things. And because I'm so progressive, like, he leaves an immigrant, like, immigrant so fucking unhinged. Like, I see where people are coming from. Okay, guys, we are live. We are at Student Action Summit. We got Destiny and Myron here today. Have a little friendly conversation, man.
Myron
To see you, bro.
Destiny
Hey, good to see you in a while. Glad to reunite you guys. I know you guys.
Myron
I think I'm probably the only concern that Destiny doesn't hate.
Destiny
Yeah. Is that true? That I don't hate? Yeah, I hate a lot of people. It's hard to say. It's hard to keep track of all these days. So, you know, we'll see after the debate today if he hates you or not.
Myron
Israel, this is like, what, like our fifth or sixth time now? So. No, man, we've always been cordial.
Destiny
Let's do Israel, Palestine. Let's start off with positions, and then we'll go from there.
Myron
Okay, you want to give your position first or.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
What.
Destiny
Can we be a little bit more specific? I guess the recent.
Myron
Like, your position on, I guess, Israel, Palestine in general, or should we talk.
Destiny
About the recent events or just overall?
Myron
Um, yeah, I mean, I guess I can start with my, like, overall position, and then we can go into specificities, I guess with maybe the last conflict that one happened.
Destiny
I mean, there's like, big parts of. You've got the recent war, whether it's a genocide, you've got. Is Israel. Do they have a right to exist as, like, a nation of Jewish people? You've got US and Israel entanglement. Like, where do you want to.
Myron
Okay, I guess I'll kind of come from the position. I think we should stop all aid to Israel, the United States. My position is I don't think we should be giving them aid. And there's a multitude of reasons for that. But that's my position in general is we should not be giving any more foreign aid to Israel.
Destiny
Okay. My position would be, I think that the Middle east region is still probably an important region to have influence over for purposes of, like, oil shipment and oil refining and also for trade to the Suez Canal. So I feel like having A lot of influence in that region is important, and if we leave, then we're kind of just giving it up to somebody else.
Myron
Okay, good points. I would say with the Suez Canal, we kind of already have that under control because we've basically bribed Egypt by, you know, giving them a lot of aid, you know, to play nice with Israel. And then as far as, you know, maintaining security in the region, we're cool with pretty much everybody else. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the countries that have some real influence, especially Saudi Arabia. So I would say, you know, I think Israel's hurt us quite a bit in the region versus assist us. I know, you know, people say, oh, well, they're our greatest ally or whatever. I think we. They don't. Doesn't have to be Israel. I think there's other Middle Eastern countries that we can work with that wouldn't create as much of a tumultuous situation than we have in the Middle East. Can I have a pen and paper, too, if that's cool?
Destiny
Yeah, yeah. I just. I don't see who would, like. You mentioned that we're cool with, like, Saudi Arabia and other countries in Egypt as well. I think a lot of that is a function of probably Israel's strength. For better or for worse. Over the past six months, they have managed to fuck up basically every other regional opponent. And I think that even though publicly they have to pay lip service to, you know, chastising Israel over the Palestinian issue, Saudi Arabia and everybody else is happy to watch. Iran basically gets shit pushed in. The people in Lebanon aren't big fans of Hezbollah. They're happy to watch their shit get pushed in. Yemen is perpetually fucked. So no one. No one anywhere cares about what's going on there. So I feel like even though right now, obviously we made nice with Egypt and Israel so that they would make nice with each other if we were to extricate from there and then pull all of our support out. I just. I see, like, the possibility of, like, a Russia or China coming in and then playing nice with them, and then obviously, the incentives change dramatically, and I would be worried about losing that. Yeah. Influence. There's.
Myron
Okay, I see your. I see your position. I think, going back to. You said that Israel having. Being a powerhouse there. I don't think they are as much as you think. It's, you know, it's either we destabilize other countries or we bribe them. Right. So, like with Jordan and Egypt, we pay them quite a bit of money to play nice with Israel. Right. Because that saves us Money in the long run, because at least the two countries on their border, on the south and in the west, you know, we don't have to worry about them, like, invading and attacking them. Obviously, we've got the problems in the north of Lebanon, but I do think a big part of the reason why we have these alliances is really more for us to, you know, pay these people off so they don't attack Israel. Whereas, like, if Israel wasn't there, we wouldn't have to, you know, be bribing these guys to give them money so they don't attack Israel. So it's either we destabilize and destroy them or we bribe them with money like we did with Jordan.
Destiny
And I mean, to be fair, though, we call them bribes. That came after Israel won basically four wars against all of these countries with our aid. Not until 73. Like, Israel won 48, basically on their own. The Suez crisis. In 56, they won on their own.
Myron
In 67, they kind of lost the Suez Canal crisis. So they kind of got ran out.
Destiny
They. No, absolutely not.
Myron
The Suez Canal Crisis.
Destiny
Absolutely.
Myron
The U.S. told them you got to leave.
Destiny
Exactly. They got ran out. The US Told them to fog off.
Myron
Yeah, yeah.
Destiny
It's not because Egypt beat them. Nasser and Egypt would try to claim later on that they did, but it's because the US Told them, like, hey, you guys are.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Destiny
Because saying that, like, they. They had the military might. They beat everybody around them, like France.
Myron
And they had the UK with them as well, and they.
Destiny
And they, you know, $3 billion yearly drops like they get now from the United States.
Myron
Well, yeah, but. And that's the thing.
Destiny
Like, but also, like, all the Arab states were getting helped by the Soviet Union. Everything, too. Like, they were constantly resupplying these guys. They had an interest there.
Myron
Well, so with the Suez Canal crisis, right. Like, we. Obviously, this was a better time because back then we didn't really have a side as much. Right. Eisenhower told them, get the hell out of there or else there's going to be some serious problems. They got out of there. And I would say the Suez Canal crisis created the nuclear arms race because after Israel had that embarrassing situation, they went ahead and, you know, got the nuclear bomb. They have it illegally, which I find kind of hilarious, that they try to tell Iran that they can't have nukes when they have an illegal nuclear program.
Destiny
Yeah. But I mean, if you ask anybody in the world, who would you rather have nukes, Israel or Iran, like, even. Even Persians, Even the Iranian people are like, yeah, probably better with Israel.
Myron
Well, here's the thing. I mean, we also said that, oh, you know, North Korea can have nuclear weapons, but winded up happening. You know, Trump met with him, they shook hands, he went into North Korea. You know, nuclear weapons are deterrent. I think they create quite a bit of peace.
Destiny
They can. The only issue is North Korea doesn't really do like the proxy terrorism like Iran does with, like, Hezbollah, with the Houthis, with Hamas. And I think North Korea is kept on a short leash because China's right there. And China doesn't want to see North Korea fuck around because it's going to reflect poorly on them. Iran doesn't really have the same, I think, kind of leash on them.
Myron
Sure. But my position is that, like, nuclear weapons, like, deter people. And. And my thing is, I. Here's my thing. I think every country should be able to exercise sovereignty and the ability to, you know, protect themselves. If Israel's going to run an illegal nuclear program, then Iran, you know, as one of their adversaries, I don't. I see why they're doing what they're doing. And I will say that, you know, our assistance of Israel has actually made the nuclear problem worse. Right. We had the nuclear. Iran, the nuclear deal, which I think was, you know, something that the Obama administration actually did well, and we pulled out of it, and that created a lot of problems for us.
Destiny
And I definitely agree with that. Trump did pull out of it. It was really bad.
Myron
It was. Look, you know me, I like Trump, but I will criticize when he makes mistakes. And that was a fatal flaw. And I think that's kind of led to the bad foreign policy that we have now. I think it's one of the biggest mistakes he made foreign policy wise. And, you know, that was the Israel lobby, Right.
Destiny
Yeah. I mean, I feel like at the end of the day, I mean, I think we backed the right horse. I mean, Saddam Hussein is out. I mean, Iraq is, like, chugging along. Assad is out. Syria is heading in a direction that's probably going to be markedly more pro west and more anti Russia. The only player left is really Iran. Somehow Israel, through the fucking gift of God or whatever, has killed, like, every single adversarial military leader and everything else.
Myron
Over the first six months, which causes us problems as well. I mean, in the 73 war that you mentioned before, how they won that one, like, they won that one by blackmailing us with. With bombing the Arab world with a nuclear bomb.
Destiny
Yeah. You know. Yeah. The Third Temple has fallen. I think From Dosha. Yeah, yeah, no, you can agree on that. But I'm just saying that like, at the end of the day, like Saudi Arabia, all the, most of the Gulf states are happy to have Israel as a friend versus Iran, who's going to be competing with them, blowing up constantly. Like, they don't like those people very much, you know. You know, you've got like, like everybody would just prefer to see a strong Israel in the region. Vers. Strong Iran in the region who's like, causes trouble for everybody, you know.
Myron
Yeah. So when it comes to Saudi Arabia, I actually agree with you on that. I've said this forever, that like the Gulf states are cucks for Israel. They just secretly do things behind the scenes. They just don't do it publicly. Yeah. Because obviously they would be looked at poorly. But I also do think that a big reason why these Gulf states play so nicely is because the United States backs Israel. So in other words, Israel wouldn't be doing the things that they do and having the reckless foreign policy they do assassinating scientists and doing all the things they do all across the Middle east if it wasn't for us backing them. And I think by us backing them, it's created us quite a bit of problems here where, you know, look, I'm critical of Islam too. I know that you're extremely critical of Islam. I grew up Muslim and I even say all the time that Islam isn't compatible with the first world country of world America.
Destiny
I don't believe that. I don't think I'm, I'm not compatible with America. More critical with Islam than I am of Christianity.
Myron
You're critical of all. But I know that like Islam you talked about. Well, I don't know if it was you, but I know other people have said that it's not compatible with the first world democracy.
Destiny
Okay, no, I downplay. I don't think religion has much to do with like the Middle Eastern stuff for the past like 50 years. So a lot of people don't like that. Take it does.
Myron
It does play a lot into it. But, but the point I'm trying to make is, is that, you know, I don't think they hate us because we're Americans is what I'm trying to get at here.
Destiny
Iran.
Myron
Well, the Middle east in general. The entire Middle East.
Destiny
Oh, no, they have plenty of good reasons to not like us.
Myron
Yeah. But yeah, it's, it's because of our, a lot of our interventionalist foreign policy, which is to benefit Israel. So my argument is simply almost every you know, terrorist attack that we've had to endure has been because of our really bad foreign policy to benefit Israel. And I just don't see the, the benefit there for us as the United States.
Destiny
We're gonna see the benefit, but we don't see the detriment if we would have lost there. Right. Like, imagine all of those states were hostile to us. You know what would open?
Myron
I don't think it would be, man.
Destiny
Why not?
Myron
So I, I think if we didn't have this, like, crazy interventionalist foreign policy at the benefit of Israel, I don't think they would hate us like that, man. Like, I like you look, you can look at these Gulf states that have, that have money. These other Arab countries would probably been able to have stable economies, utilize their, their oil and their other resources, have some money.
Destiny
And I assume they probably didn't exist or. Because I would say, like, if Israel wasn't there at all, not to make some argument on whether we'd kill all the Jews, whatever. Like, let's say Israel wasn't there at all. Yeah, I feel like they would all just be fighting each other because I feel like prior to, like, Israel being there kind of gave them a central enemy to kind of, like, fight for a while. But prior to that, when Britain was carving up after World War I, you had like, the mandate, you had like the Turkish revolution, you had Egypt, like one of their own state. Like, everybody kind of had their own state. People were kind of like, vying for influence and, you know, like, it sounds like, you know. Yeah.
Myron
So, like, I've always been critical with, with, you know, the Arab world. Like, they need dictators and monarchs for a reason. Right. But I do think as far as, like, us and our relationship with them, I don't think it would be as bad as it is if it weren't for all of our interventionalism on behalf of Israel.
Destiny
Let's say that, like, Iran falls tomorrow and let's say it's not. Let's say it's replaced by something stable. Ish. Right. Or it's not. It doesn't.
Myron
Like, who do you think? 1. This could be the next topic. I think that our, our move into Iran, I think it was an L for us. I think the United States and Israel took an L with that conflict. I don't know what your position is, if you want to.
Destiny
I'm a major proponent of not having a nuclear armed Iran, so I was okay with it.
Myron
Okay.
Destiny
Yeah. But I mean, like, I don't like the way that we Got there though, right. I would say that exiting the nuclear deal was really bad. Israel loved that and Saudi Arabia loved that because they fucking hated us when we signed the nuclear deal with Iran.
Myron
Yeah. Then Saudi Arabia, they're cool with Iran now. They've, they've opened back diplomatic relations. They're cool now.
Destiny
I mean, they have. Yeah. But I mean like, these guys are diametrically opposed to each other in terms of interest. Like, Iran backs the Houthis a lot. Saudi Arabia tried for like three years to bomb and get rid of all of them. They were like. I don't think they.
Myron
Yeah, people don't talk about how Saudi Arabia has been killing Yemenis for years. And you know, they've. It's a. Literally. Yeah, terrible.
Destiny
So.
Myron
And I've been critical of the Saudi Arabian government for that too.
Destiny
Yeah, I guess I'm just. So I'm thinking like, if Iran were to fall and that whole region were to be like friendly. Ish. Basically to the United States, that just seems like a really good state of affairs for us. Because aside from Iran, like, who would give us trouble there?
Myron
Well, I think the only reason they give us trouble is because of a foreign policy. Right. So like, I think it's better to just like not, you know, give Israel all this aid and like a whole.
Destiny
Region being friendly towards us. But there's like an issue still with Iran. You think we should just exit completely and risk losing the entire region to Russia, China, India?
Myron
No, I see a perspective. What I'm trying to say is like the Arab world really doesn't like us. Like, so. Okay, I'll give an example. So like when Biden was in, right? Like Saudi Arabia was flirting with bricks. Right. And it took Trump going over there, right? Playing off like I'm now friends with Netanyahu, went over there, met with, you know, the leader of Syria, Al Shara, AKA former Al Qaeda guy, you know, we'll lift the sanction off you and then we'll meet with the, you know, we'll go. They give him the jet or whatever. Like, we almost lost Saudi Arabia to brics. And my, my argument, my bottom line is that like, and I think you would agree with this, Saudi Arabia just does what's best for Saudi Arabia.
Destiny
Like, I mean, like, who would you rather have access to? The United States who's like signaled that they're going to have a strong interventionalist policy or like when it comes to defending your interests or somebody like Russia, you know, when Putin sits by and watches Gaddafi getting raped by bayonets. Or sits by and watches Assad's regime completely and totally collapse, or watches, you know, Syria be involved in a Civil War for 10 years, or watches Iran crumble because Russia can't handle its own war right now. Like, it feels like the US Is a good ally to have in your corner, and then we can defend and ensure trade. You know, like, let's say, like, the Houthis were up to their, you know, shenanigans, and it wasn't the US that was interested in that region. Let's say it was fucking China or Russia. Like, who's to say that the Suez would have ever opened again? Like, would they have had the capability to even send ships down there to. Does Russia even have a fleet anymore? They would have.
Myron
They would have. But my. My bottom line is that, like, the Saudis and a lot of these Muslim countries are these Arab countries. They already don't like us because of our policy. Right.
Destiny
Like, I disagree. I feel like they like us quite a bit.
Myron
I think.
Destiny
I think that's why most of them, like, people, like, tried to hype up that Abraham Accord. But I think that, like, most countries are like, listen, the fighting is gay. Let's just, like, move on and, like, build up and make it.
Myron
But the Israel accords, like, kind of led to, like, all of these problems. Like, it's. It's. It was. It was one of the. It was one of the reasons why, you know, we had the altercation that we had, but to go back real quick to the. To the Iran thing. So I think it was a monumental failure. And my. And I'll give you my position real quick, and you can tell me what you think. The reason why I think it was a monumental failure is because unless you affect regime change, everything else was a waste of time. And I would argue that we made them stronger by intervening, because what ended up happening was they survived the assassinations with their generals. They survived the precise attacks. They lost with the nuclear scientists. They did. They did. But the Ayatollah still alive. They still have their military attack to a degree. Yes. They were weakened. Yes. Mossad did a fantastic operation getting behind the enemy lines and destroying air defense and jamming radars. Fantastic. But they did all that and, you know, showed their cards and they couldn't effectuate the regime change because they were hoping that by them, you know, doing all this, it would make the Baloaks or one of these other, you know, you know, rebel groups say, let's go in and, like, take over. And they didn't do it. Actually, the opposite happened. It united the country, the people that were critical of the theocracy, right? We're like, you know what? We need to get behind the government. Because, yes, we don't like the Ayatollah, but we hate Israel even more. So, like, when they had these funeral processions, like, there was, like, thousands of people out there, like, saying, yes, yes, yes. So, like, we actually. It was an elf for us because we actually ignited their nationalism. And then, like, the other problem also is, like, within. And I got this from, like, an insider that, like, understands Iranian politics. I didn't know this. Like, in their government, right, there's, like, the reformists, which would be, like, their democrats, and then they're conservatives, they're Republicans. And there was a lot of fighting in between, like, hey, diplomacy with the west or no diplomacy. And basically what happened was when Israel attacked with Operation Rising Lions, they said, you know what? Fuck it, we're going to hit them hard. And then they just started hitting Tel Aviv super hard. That's why we saw, you know, them being able to attack a lot of strategic sites, hit their intel bases. And obviously Israel withheld this because they didn't want anyone to know that they were being hit. But it's coming out now that they are actually hit pretty hard. Tel Aviv got destroyed. Not all the way, but it got significantly damaged.
Destiny
Definitely not. There were a couple of missiles that fell, but not significantly damaged.
Myron
Oh, dude, they did. They did. I'm telling you. There was a. There was a ban on. And I'll show you after. After the debate, like, and that's why I designed, like, Western media and Israeli media purposely made sure any, like, journalists that took pictures or document anything, there was a chance of them going to jail because they didn't want Iranian intelligence to get precise coordinates of where they were being hit for obviously obstacle reasons. Then on top of that, we know Israel, you know, there was.
Destiny
People don't, like, report on, like, where.
Myron
They also didn't want pandemonium to.
Destiny
Two main reasons. But, like, there's some. It's Tel Aviv. It's the first world country. Everybody's got a cell phone. Like, you're never hiding.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, of course. And people did put it out. Like, there's still video, but I'm saying, like, like, actual journalists, they were getting in trouble for it.
Destiny
I don't. I don't disagree with this idea that, that we're making.
Myron
Just to finish real quick. Yeah, yeah. To finish my position. So, you know, we united the country. The regime is still in power. All we've done is emboldened them to get the nuclear weapons, even more so now because they're like, now we need a nuclear bomb. Right. They kicked IAEA out. Which iaea? The ia.
Destiny
International Atomic Association.
Myron
Yeah. Long story short, they were supplying us with information about their nuclear capabilities. Now they're gone. The last person actually just left today from Iran. They kicked them out. So we have no oversight of their. Of their nuclear program. And me and you both agree that leaving a nuclear deal was absolutely stupid. So now we have nothing. And I think that if anything, since we didn't get rid of the regime and they've mastered this, the cycle, the centrifuge cycle, they're going to get another nuclear bomb. And let's assume. Let's assume we go off what Trump and Hexa said, one or two years behind. Well, so what? The regime is there. They have the capability to build another nuclear bomb, is my position. So I think that us intervening. We spent billions of dollars to help defend Israel, to bomb their nuclear facilities, and they're just going to rebuild it.
Destiny
I mean, like, when it comes to an overall comprehensive view of what the Middle east should look like and what our approach to Iran should be, I'm not going to argue that our view right now is incomprehensible. My. One of my biggest complaints about Trump is I don't think it's a mind for politics or foreign affairs or anything. I don't think he has, like, an overall. Like, if you ask Trump, like, what do you think Middle east should look like? He probably just draw like, an Israeli flag over every country or something. You guys are fucking idiot when it comes to that. So, like, our overall. Yeah, yeah, overall approach is definitely, like, incoherent. But, I mean, given a list of bad options, I would say Iran not having access to nuclear weapons is something that not only we prefer, but every single actor in the region would prefer. It's just very scary when you've got an actor that takes so much, like, overt effort to fuck with other countries. You know, whether it's expeditionary force in Iraq, whether it's Hezbollah in. In Syria and in. And obviously in Lebanon, whether it's Hamas, whether it's the Houthis, like, they just, they have their fingers in so many different things. And then for them to be completely and totally safe from any attack now because Israel can't really attack them, but they have a nuclear weapon, things get way more weird at that point. And I just, I think any world where they don't have a Nuclear weapon is beneficial to the stability of the region, the stability of the planet, and literally every interest that we have in both country interest and like trade and oil and everything else.
Myron
So I would agree with you that them having a nuclear weapon is bad. I actually agree with you.
Destiny
I would say that you keep arguing, like, on their perspective. If I was Iran, I would be barreling towards a nuclear weapon. So I understand their perspective ever since Syria fell. I think that was a huge signal to Iran where it's like, okay, well, especially because. And I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of anything happening right now, but like, Trump did them kind of dirty because I'm pretty sure that attack from Israel came what, like, it was like two or one day after the.
Myron
It was right before. Hit him on like a Thursday or Friday. It's supposed to be Sunday. Yeah.
Destiny
And it was like the really bad diplomacy. Yeah. But the. But I don't even know if this country does diplomacy right now. I don't know. We're 90 days, 90 trade deals. We have zero so far, like, everything. Foreign affairs wise as fuck. So I think that Iran has every incentive right now to continue towards.
Myron
And I think we push them that way because I agree with you, them having a nuclear weapon is bad. But I think, like, we had the ability to, to have control of it and.
Destiny
But we don't have the leadership for right now. One thing that we have to counterbalance is like. So I, I fully believe that Israeli and US Interest is aligned in a lot of ways. I know you might not agree with.
Myron
That, but they are in many ways.
Destiny
But Israel also has interests that.
Myron
Are they more aggressive?
Destiny
Yes. They're not aligned with the United States. So for instance, the United States, regardless of what any retard says, the United States does not want regime change in Iran. Israel absolutely wants regime change in Iran.
Myron
I think they would be okay with it, but they're not willing to put boots on the ground.
Destiny
We would be okay with it insofar as, like, maybe because Israel wants it. But the reality is, like, a collapse in Iran could lead to all sorts of traffic. It could lead over into Iraq, into Afghanistan.
Myron
And I would argue, yeah, the base, like, saying, like, no fucking wars like that. I think that stalled his, like, decision making. Like, oh, man, I need more time. I think he would have been way more into this conflict if the base didn't rebel so bad because.
Destiny
Yeah, because. Because Israel is full steam ahead on that. If the US Is like, regime change is like, we've already got like 5,000 Mossad in place. Well, that's why Mike Waltz got fired.
Myron
Because. Because he wanted to have a plan where they literally put boots on the ground and they were going to send special Forces into these nuclear facilities and really, like, try to get shit going.
Destiny
Sure.
Myron
So. But yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it was a failure on my end. I think from a US Israeli position, it was a failure because our goal was like, we don't want them to have nuclear weapons. We embolded them and we nationalize them where they're now, they're patriots pushing off.
Destiny
All right, let's say, do you think that the world is a better place if Iran has, like, starts to have nuclear weapons in a month or in two weeks?
Myron
No. It'll create problems. But. But I'm arguing my position isn't that them having nukes is bad. I think them.
Destiny
So isn't that having nukes and like, if having nukes in two weeks would be really bad, is it pushing, like, six months and that? Well, I know we did it happen. Now we have to wear what we have now. Do you think them having nukes in two weeks is better than them having nukes maybe six to 12 months from now?
Myron
I think they can get them faster.
Destiny
Well, I mean, a lot of their stockpiles have been blown up. A lot of their centrifuges have been blown up.
Myron
Like, it's going to be, you know, a lot of the uranium was got out. You know, multiple reputable sources are saying around 400 kilos was snuck out. I would not be surprised if they didn't have other clandestine operations going on, knowing that they were going to get hit. I mean, their three main nuclear facilities, the whole world knew about it. I would be shocked if they didn't have.
Destiny
I feel like I'd be more shocked if they were to hide them from all the infiltrated Mossad in their country. I felt like Israel would have known.
Myron
And told us, well, they just busted another ring today. Sure, the IRGC busted another ring today. So, again, my thing is, I think our bad foreign policy has kind of led us down this road where it's like, now they're saying the worst option, let's go ahead and get nuclear weapons. Like, we could have totally avoided this if we didn't have the nefarious influence of Israel saying, we don't want a nuclear deal because they're going to build nuclear weapons anyway. It's. The real reason is that Israel wants regime change and they want to be the hegemony.
Destiny
But I would say the fault There is Trump because Israel didn't want the nuclear deal with Senator Obama. So, I mean, like, yeah, I would agree with you.
Myron
I think. I think him pulling out of the nuclear deal because of, you know, Israeli lobby pressure was a big fucking mistake.
Destiny
Huge. Huge.
Myron
But, like, I think from our perspective, I think it was. L. I know you're saying, hey, we pushed it back. I think if anything, if we did push them back, their resolve is greater. They're going to. Now they're definitely going to get a nuclear weapon. And we've just made everything worse for everybody in the region.
Destiny
Okay. I think we are.
Myron
That's my position on it.
Destiny
You two agree on a lot. It sounds like.
Myron
Well, yeah, I mean. Yeah, I mean, I still. I still think we should cut. Do you think we should give eight to them?
Destiny
Israel?
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
Yeah. To everybody in the region. I think having. I think it's a good region to be friendly with, and I would hate to see that region fall to somebody else's influence, especially when something has happened in the past several years where it feels like a lot of our enemies are having issues. Like, I think Russia is running into a significant amount of issues. Watching Syria fall is. I mean, it's good for the US Technically. So, I mean, like, I think that.
Myron
Honestly, if we cultivated Saudi Arabia, they'd be a better ally than Israel.
Destiny
My historical reading and all, my current understanding of Saudi Arabia, I don't even know what Saudi Arabia does or like. But, like, they have like a military supposedly. But, like, I don't know what they do. They've been all. They have, like, yeah, I don't know.
Myron
Sure.
Destiny
I'll give you my war between Israel, the countries. It's like Saudi Arabia sends like three and a half tanks and like one jet. Yeah, we'll fly landing.
Myron
They basically have a military, but, like, we give them all their protection. But my position is if we, like, if we had cultivated our relationship with Saudi Arabia versus Israel, Saudi Arabia from a religious perspective. Right. Mecca, Medina, very religious. Like, they're kind of the leaders. That's why, like, them coming into the Abraham Accords would have created so many problems. It's actually one of the chief reasons why Hamas attacked because Hamas knew if Saudi Arabia comes into Abraham Accords, that's like the leader of the Muslim world. So it would have. The. And the Palestine question wouldn't be answered. So that actually prompted it. So I think if we had that relationship, we would have been better off.
Destiny
I mean, we have cultivate. We have a good relationship. Saudi Arabia, we've had for like 20 years. Right. I think that the issue with the, with the Israel was more without Israel.
Myron
Yeah. Because I think, I think Israel has been putting a lot of the, like it's created a lot of diplomatic problems for us all across. And then like with what's going on in Gaza just makes us look worse in international scene. Right. And it's like we, we deal with all their problems, all their blowback because we're the ones funding them. So all the bad shit that they do, we have to eat it. And even when, when we tell them, hey, Nanya, don't do that, he does it anyway.
Destiny
Yeah, we definitely have an issue. Yeah. The. No, you need a leader with a lot of vision to solve that. The Palestinian issue with Israel. And I think the big reason for the Abraham Accords, why Hamas was emboldened after that is because Trump basically furthered the Netanyahu goal of saying, fuck dealing with the Palestinians. We're just going to keep pushing it off to the side. I think was a big thing.
Myron
Yeah. And they couldn't afford for Saudi Arabia to come in without answering that question because that would have been, they would have been cooked. Now, again, like, obviously what went down on October 7th was horrible, but I do think it's very important to understand like why things happen and why bad foreign policy leads to these issues. And you know, I think the only way that we're going to get peace in the Middle east because, because, okay, let's say, let's say Iran falls, there's going to be a new insurgent group, there's going to be more terrorists, they're going to come in. Until the Palestinians have a state, we're always going to have problems in that area. And with Netanyahu, he doesn't want a two state solution. We know that he's tried to. He's destroyed the Oslo Accords on multiple occasions. He doesn't want them to have a state. So until we get.
Destiny
But it's. The thing about Israel is like the people are realistic. Like you can compel him, you could force him to do things, but you have to have a US Leader that's actually like on board with.
Myron
The way we'd have to do it is we'd have to literally make their aid contingent upon them playing nice.
Destiny
Yeah, but they would never do that.
Myron
That's the problem.
Destiny
That's why you need a leader to do it. Right. Yeah.
Myron
Well, see, if we weren't controlled. And I know you disagree with me on this, like if our foreign policy wasn't run by Them. And, you know, we didn't have such Zionist control of American foreign policy. We'd be able to do it where it'd be like, look, you guys got to make peace with these guys, otherwise you're not getting aid anymore. But since we continue to give them weapons, they continue to have influence. They control our politicians. They have no incentive to make peace.
Destiny
If they have so much control over us. And why did Obama sign that nuclear deal in the first place?
Myron
So, well, good question. So he signed it, but he got heavily criticized. Netanyahu came here, shit on him, like, in front of our own government. And he had. He's the only other world leader that could do it. And then as soon as Obama got out, he lobbied and Trump took it out. They put Iran on. That's another thing, too. Like, we put the IRGC on the terrorist watch list, the foreign terrorist list in 2019, Mike Pompeo. That created problems because then we put heavy sanctions on him. Like, we had every ability to play nice with Iran and make and do diplomacy, but we fucked it up.
Destiny
And Israel doesn't have. I mean, like, it's not. Well, I guess we disagree because I'm saying, like, Israel can't make Trump, like, be their bitch. Like, I don't think that they don't have that influence. They don't have the economy. They don't have. Okay.
Myron
I think. I think he is beholden to the Israeli lobby, and it really pisses me off because, like, the Adelsons gave him all this money.
Destiny
I mean, he doesn't need it. The guy's a. He. He had Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world. Like, this guy could have literally gotten fundraised from anywhere in the world, and it would have been okay.
Myron
So the reason why he needed the money, because he was facing all the legal cases. So he needed the money to run.
Destiny
And he's got Trump coin and Melania coin. He doesn't need. I mean, that was after. That was. I mean, he's got a lot of money from that. Legal cases aren't tens or hundreds.
Myron
But you already won at that point. Talking about before. I'm talking about before, obviously, you know, he had, like, four criminal cases.
Destiny
Criminal cases. That's what I mean. Like, they. I mean, like, hey, I think he needed.
Myron
Expensive.
Destiny
Yeah, yeah. But I don't think he needed the Israeli money for that. I think he had. This guy was the most, like, popular politician in US History.
Myron
This guy is just one. Like, there's a bunch of other donors that we don't Know about that. Give him money that aren't under apac. That we don't know about that, you know, hey, you know, and then look, he got the tech bros in. Peter Thiel, Alice Karp, all these guys, the Palantir guys. These guys are like lifelong progressive Democrats. They all got under Trump. Trump bandwagon. Why? Because of Israel?
Destiny
Because they were triggered by the woke shit.
Myron
Bill Ackman. All these guys.
Destiny
You think Elon Musk was controlled by Israel? Like, he. This guy joined Trump, he bought X for Trump and literally about it.
Myron
Well, no, no, so what I will say is that. So when he got X, right? And he started getting hit on. Excuse me. When he bought X. And then, like, people were like, you know, they're taking a free speech crazy. And people were being, you know, critical of Israel and talking about all these different things. Like, people tried to. Media Matters wrote a hit piece on him, right? Saying, like, oh, look, these anti Semitic posts are put right next to your advertisers, blah, blah, blah. And he. He ended up suing them. But, you know, they made him do the ritual. He had to go to Auschwitz with, you know, Ben Shapiro, put the hat on, you know, the whole humiliation ritual. And then after that, he started playing ball. And then, interestingly enough, Elon Musk, the only person that came to the US That Elon, like, left Texas to go visit was Netanyahu when he came here in, I think late last year.
Destiny
Yeah, but I mean, like, is that just because that's the only one who would meet with Elon Musk? I feel like he's not a very popular guy. If we go on X right now, like, it's. It's like this is like the neo Nazi paradise platform at the moment. Okay. It's. It's crazy out there. It's not like he cleaned up a whole bunch. I mean, the Media Matters hit piece was like. You can call it a hippie, but it was legitimate. It was kind of weird that you could scroll through something where it's like some actual crazy.
Myron
Well, they were doing that on purpose. Like, they were advertisements on purpose. Like, they were, like, refreshing the page. And like.
Destiny
I understand. I've read the case.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
The complaint that they filed. And I know that Elon alleged that a lot of it was unfair, but I mean, like, you can create a new account on Twitter and you can scroll yourself and go and test it. Like, you'll see some crazy, like, right next to a sponsor. It was pretty wild. Now, as of right now, I think most sponsors have kind of Come back because the price of advertising got cheap enough.
Myron
Yeah, they cleaned it up, too. They did clean it up after that headpiece.
Destiny
Cleaned it up.
Myron
They. They did, dude. They did. I got demonetized. I got.
Destiny
I got demonetized, too. I don't know. Well, but, yeah, I don't know. I don't. I just don't see. It's like an unfalsifiable, like, thing. Like, I think that there's plenty of reasons to explain why I think a lot of old people in the US Fucking love Israel just because of the story, the Cold War and everything.
Myron
A lot of dumb boomers.
Destiny
Yeah, I don't think you need necessarily. I don't think you need a conspiracy to explain why Trump is such a huge fucking Israeli dick suck. And I think, you see, the younger generation is definitely not.
Myron
Well, yeah, like, they're just starting to wake up to this stuff. But, like, yeah, the boomer generation, the people that watch Sean Hannity and Fox News, whatever, they are. But, like, my. My point is, is that I think our foreign policy is controlled by them, and we need to, like, stop being occupied by them.
Destiny
Because, like, if it was easy to buy somebody off, I mean, how many Arabs, Muslims are there? Like, 2 billion. Yeah, there's got to be more money in that world to pay off a leader than however much, well, they have.
Myron
To register under Pharaoh.
Destiny
Well, sure, but I mean, it's like, AIPAC is not like Israel. Or, wait, you probably think that, okay.
Myron
They'Re not Israel, but they're American. You know, a lot of times American Zionists that, you know, obviously believe in Israel.
Destiny
Sure. You can make the same thing in the US with an Arab group if you wanted, or a Muslim group, Saudi Arabian group, or whatever.
Myron
Yeah, dude, but, like, come on. I mean, we could talk about Epstein, for example, right? Like, do you think if Epstein was like, you know, Jeffrey Muhammad, that, like, we would be concealing the fact that he was, you know, an asset for a foreign intelligence service? No, the documents would have been declassified immediately.
Destiny
I don't think that would have been because, like, we're beholden to Israel. I think it's just because a lot of older Americans remember 911 and hate Muslims, and. And we're like, this guy.
Myron
No, no, no. Sure, sure. But, like, what I'm. The point is, is that, like, you know, if Epstein was Muslim, those documents would be out. If he was an Arab, those documents would be out. Like, you know, but the fact that he was tied in with Israeli intelligence, like, we still don't have the Documents. We don't have anything. Oh, we're going to declassify him. Didn't bring anything out. Took 60 years to get the abstinence documents.
Destiny
The Epstein is hard. I. I truly believe. I don't think there is a book. There is no client list. I think the Epstein was a kind of a perverted dude, had young people there. I don't think there's anything to be found from the Epstein stuff. I think that Trump played it up because they wanted it to be and because it looked good as like a hit piece. But, like, I think that, like, the people that push this the hardest would have been the ones with most incentive to kill him. Right. Epstein died in 2019 in a traumatic federal prison. Right. What was it? Acosta was a Department of labor secretary. Who was the criminal attorney, I think.
Myron
Who got U.S. attorney. He was the same. Florida.
Destiny
Nice deal. So that he didn't have prison time for the. For the first charges that he caught. Yeah, like, if you wanted to. Like I've seen, obviously, if he was on video saying, oh, Joe Biden is my best friend of 10 years. Like, people be losing their mind because it was Trump. Nobody even knows about the call. It's like publicly available. Yeah. I don't know. The issue I have, I guess sometimes that, like, I can see a bunch of stuff that, like, I understand. Like, there's good explanations for it. I'm like, is there anything that's happening where it's like, like, I can't explain that without some kind of, like, foreign push.
Myron
So. So here's my thing. I actually agree with you that, like, people are way too hyped up on the client list or whatever. And actually, to be honest with you, you know, I was talking with you about this. Where people really need to look is the CIA. Because if he was actually a foreign agent for a foreign country, the CIA is going to have all that information. The FBI is strictly domestic, like nsa, CIA. Honestly, Tulsi Gabbard is the one that's going to have everything when it comes to Epstein because people forget that there's a criminal case and there's also a classified high side. That's the stuff that people want to see. So my thing is, I think the fact that he is aligned with the Israeli government is a big reason why they're not showing us that, because that's what people really want to see. Is there a client list? Maybe. But my thing is I'm more interested in who was he working for, why was he collecting information that he was collecting and what were his, what was like, what was he actually doing when he was in the us like, what were his meetings like, et cetera. Because I guarantee you, to be fair.
Destiny
They have that, that kind of stuff will never be released, like ever. When they said stuff like that would.
Myron
Never come, that's what they campaign on. And that's why people are so pissed.
Destiny
But that's like their issue. Yeah, I think one big issue the Trump admin is going to have like in the first term. Trump. Because Trump doesn't know how to do politics. He didn't know anything about, like, what are my, you know, what do my cabinet members do or what do my agencies do now? Coming in. Right. He's appointed absolute sycophants in every single cabinet position and now he can't use those. Yeah.
Myron
He put loyalists instead of, instead of competent.
Destiny
Yeah. So he can't use deep state excuses anymore. Unless we're saying the deep state is even deeper than all the control. And when you've got guys like, you know, bongo balls or whatever on Tim Pool saying, I got a guy in the CIA who told me 100% and now, you know, this guy is deputy of the FBI with Cash Patel or whatever and they're like, oh, we actually have nothing. There's nothing's going on here. And Tulsi Gabard says nothing is going on and Pam Bondi says nothing's going on. Like, at what point is it like.
Myron
Because that, that's who people really need to ask questions to because, you know, people forget like how the intelligence apparatus is. But she's the one that's going to have everything. She's going to have the high side stuff that people are actually interested in.
Destiny
I mean, they say that, but like, what was the argument before the argument? So Pam Bondi should theoretically have everything for the doj, but she's like, well, the Southern District of New York was hiding stuff from us. So is Tulsi Gabbard going to leave in four years and be like, actually, you know, even though I was a director of National Settlements, they were hiding stuff for me too. And it's like, fuck.
Myron
The reason why I say her is because she's going to have access to all the classified stuff from the intelligence community. Right.
Destiny
Like, no, I understand theoretically. But I'm saying it feels like there's always a deeper state to point to once they're out of office. They're like, we couldn't get those files because somebody deep in this.
Myron
My bottom line is that if he had worked for the Saudi Arabian government, we would have those documents. But since he was tied in with the Israeli government, we're not getting those documents because. And here's. I guarantee why they're not going to release it. They're going to consider it national defense information. Ndi and off that, oh, sorry, we can't release it. And then a lot of those people are still alive. Who knows what he's.
Destiny
I feel like this would be standard. Like, I don't think we would know about Saudi Arabia. I mean, we. They literally chainsawed that one dude up in that embassy. Yeah, we didn't do all about that. Right. I think at this point, I think most people believe.
Myron
But we wouldn't get that same level of like Saudi Arabia.
Destiny
Cool.
Myron
But like, I'm saying, like, like what we give Israel is insane.
Destiny
Maybe. I mean, the. What was his name? Justami Jasal.
Myron
Okay.
Destiny
It's pretty crazy. Like, people. I Pretty sure people saw him getting.
Myron
Like carried out and they killed him in Turkey. Yeah, yeah.
Destiny
And then. And look at like Ukraine. I think at this point, most people know that if it. Zelensky might not have had personal knowledge, but Ukraine probably took out the Nordstrom 2 pipeline. We haven't released anything or said anything all about that. That I think it's pretty standard practice for. We have allies, we just don't. We're not going to release, like, sure.
Myron
Sure, you know, the amount of aid that we give them, the amount of money we give them, etc. Like, I'm saying, like any other country. Had Epstein not been aligned with Israel, let's say he had been aligned with Turkey, even Ukraine, some of our greatest allies. The info would have came out, was my argument.
Destiny
I don't know.
Myron
I think it's speculative, but I think the info would have came out.
Destiny
Was literally in the United States with his own bodyguards, like, beating up U.S. citizens. And we didn't say fuck all about it. We're like, oh, you know, he's cool. You know, just we. We give a lot of deference to scumbag, man.
Myron
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Destiny
Turkey does a lot. I mean, Trump literally, when he left Syria and Turkey was like, oh, we can go bomb these Kurds now.
Myron
It's like the definition of like a guy that just talks. But.
Destiny
Yeah, but I mean, like, we didn't do all about it or condemn him or say anything bad about it. So I don't know. I think it's. I think we get a lot of difference to our allies.
Myron
It's hard to say, but Israel, dude, come on, man. Come on, man. Come on, man. Epstein was Turkish intelligence. We would have. That file would have been out, man.
Destiny
I don't know, man. What about Ukraine? Ukraine just got another round of funding. Where do you guys stand on that?
Myron
Yes. You know, it's disappointing because, you know, Trump campaigned that he would end that conflict, and now I think he's starting to realize that we're in a little too deep now. Russia has no reason to make peace at this point. They're. They're winning, and they have all the cards, unfortunately, so they're like, oh, well, what's the point of us doing diplomacy? And, you know, Trump thought he was going to be able to come in and just kind of let them keep the land that they have, don't join NATO for 20 years. I think this was kind of the original. Correct me if I'm wrong. Like, plan that they came in with. It wasn't good enough for Russia. So I don't know, dude. I mean, this. That's a fucking nightmare. Ukraine, Russia, what's going on? I don't know. What's your position on that?
Destiny
I think. I truly do believe that Trump is just incompetent in, like, everything he does. I think that people have let him get away with this. He's like a master negotiator.
Myron
I think he's better than the Biden administration on Russia. You don't think so?
Destiny
No. He's a catastrophe. This guy said he would do it on day zero. This guy's, like, truthing out, like, think Putin is lying to me?
Myron
And it's like, yeah, no, I see your perspective, but. But at least he's talking to Putin. The Biden administration, they didn't talk to him for years.
Destiny
Yeah, but I mean, like, what has Trump gotten in all of his talks with Putin? Literally all.
Myron
Yeah, well, again, it's better than they say.
Destiny
Like, all day I talked to him and I begged and I got.
Myron
But at least. At least we got. At least we got a conversation going. At least we could figure something out. Dude, we have Biden administration even talk to him. Dude.
Destiny
Yeah, there's nothing to talk about it. Invading a sovereign nation for no reason.
Myron
Well, if you want to make peace, you have to talk to the other side at some point.
Destiny
I mean, with Putin.
Myron
Yeah, you got to talk to him.
Destiny
At some point in Ukraine and let them win the war. I think that would have been a.
Myron
Better idea, but you think what, we.
Destiny
Should have supported Ukraine so they could have won the war? I think would have been the better idea.
Myron
Again, I think that that whole conflict was Bad foreign policy by the U.S. again. Right. Like, like, you know, allowing NATO to expand. Like, you know, we could have made a play with the Russians in the early 2000s. Putin wanted to join.
Destiny
They wanted like a, they wanted to expedited list. They wanted to get there with privilege. I, There are definitely steps that we could have taken to be more friendly with Russia historically. Like, especially after the war on terror, like we had a closer relationship for a while, but the. They, they see themselves as like a dispossessed empire and I think they want that back. I mean they did it in. Well, for sure they're doing in Ukraine.
Myron
He's talked about that. But, but I do think that this, and this isn't just, I can't really even blame this on one administration. This is literally like 2010, 20 years of bad foreign policy with Russia where I think we could have definitely held back NATO a little bit. Could have.
Destiny
You know, but I mean like, even when you say that, like held back NATO, like why, if countries vote to want to join NATO, like why are you saying no, you can't, sorry, you have to get by Russia instead?
Myron
Well, it's not that I think allowing NATO to continue to expand like, and provoking a world power nuclear weapons.
Destiny
We don't attack Russia.
Myron
Well, no, of course we don't. But by allowing NATO to expand, that is a, that is a proxy way that we're. Because we're benefiting from. We're allowing our weapons to be used. We're seeing what their capabilities are versa. It's like this is a crazy, this is an awesome intel collection thing for us, obviously at the cost of Ukrainians and Russians dying, but, and costing us billions of dollars.
Destiny
But maybe the, maybe it's just nicer to be friends with the US Than with Russia. Right. Like, I think that's, I mean like when you look at like, like in the Baltics, like these guys are sitting real good right now. Like I'm glad as we got it in NATO because I don't want to be Ukraine.
Myron
Well, they only joined after, after the Ukraine situation.
Destiny
Like no Baltics.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm talking about like, I'm thinking of Finland right now. Yeah, like Finland only joined mind because of what happened with Ukraine. But I do think that, you know, the invasion in 2022 was just a culmination of just really bad foreign policy. And then Putin seeing Biden sucks. Let's go in. He's weak. And then bam.
Destiny
I mean he would have gone in if it was Trump.
Myron
Like you think so?
Destiny
I don't think he hasn't done all. With Trump there, he was still fighting through all of Trump's first term in the Donbass. Like, yeah. I don't think this. This weird myth that, like, everybody respects Trump and nobody does shit. Like, I just don't think it's true. Like, anybody will do anything.
Myron
I don't think he would have invaded if Trump. Trump was in. I. I don't. I don't. Like, I don't.
Destiny
I mean, India and Pakistan were trading blows for a little bit. Russia hasn't slowed down on anything.
Myron
He did end out.
Destiny
He didn't end. They. They came to the heat. You read, like, where does this myth come from that Trump.
Myron
Let me give my position. Okay. Not that, you know, I'm not the average Mac of retard. Here's the thing. Both nuclear powers, they knew they would destroy each other. Yeah. They need an intermediary to come in. He came in. Convenient. I'm ending it, took credit for it. Cool. All right. That's my position. I don't think. I think it would have ended anyway.
Destiny
Sure.
Myron
That he was able to slide in and get the credit for it because they both have nukes. They would have each other.
Destiny
They just. Yeah. Like you said, they need, like, an off ramp, right?
Myron
Yeah, they need an off ramp. And he was in a convenient position. Trump.
Destiny
Foreign policy, in my opinion, through all, like, five years has been a disaster. I don't know, like, what foreign policy. W's.
Myron
I think. I think he's better than Biden, dude. And I think he would have done better than Kamala in this situation.
Destiny
We were involved in less conflict with Biden. We. The wars that we were involved in were much more justified.
Myron
Two wars broke out, man.
Destiny
Yeah. But they weren't our wars. And arguably, you can point to Trump. Trump, at the very least for the Israeli one. Right. Those Abraham Accords were a big you to the Palestinians who've already been extricated from every other Arab supporter. Right. Imagine you go from, like, my allies are Syria, Jordan, all these other Arab states, and now it's like, my allies are the.
Myron
I've mentioned a million times how the Abraham Accords was a part of it.
Destiny
But it's pretty crazy to be, like, to the Middle east and then like, two years, three years later, it's like, oh, biggest terrorist.
Myron
Like, oh, it's also the occupation. It's also everything else that comes in, dude. Hell, even the red cows that they went and bought from Texas, that was a part of the reason why they.
Destiny
Attacked But I'm saying, like, everything under Trump, like, he was, he was gung ho with the Saudi Arabia drone striking Yemen. He was cool with just like ditching the Kurds in Syria. He didn't give a fuck about any of that.
Myron
That's like every president ditches the Kurds. Like, we use them, hey, fight the missiles for us, and then we like just leave them to dryers in Iraq.
Destiny
Are a bit happier now than they were under Saddam Hussein.
Myron
Oh yeah, they're super happy. Yeah, this was 80% of their oil from them.
Destiny
He kicked the, I mean, he kicked us out of Afghanistan in like the dumbest way possible. He basically.
Myron
No, that was my him. Well, the one we left.
Destiny
It was on, it was on Trump's negotiated agreement. The Doha Accords was. Agreement was him taking the Taliban going to, to Cutter and then basically negotiating a full surrender without even the Afghanistan government being involved.
Myron
American foreign policy, I would say over the past like 20 years been bad.
Destiny
People saying that under Biden we are like, the big stuff we're involved in is like Ukraine and Israel and, and.
Myron
Those both broke out under his watch.
Destiny
Broke out is a very one dimensional way of looking at time. But I'm just, I'm just saying that like, those are the two conflicts we're involved in under Trump. It was like five of them. And like most of them were. We didn't need to be doing anything in Yemen with the Houthis with the weird we were doing in Syria. This guy campaigned on like, we're gonna take their oil.
Myron
I'll say this.
Destiny
So the surrender is a disaster.
Myron
Significant conflicts broke out under Biden's administration. Like, and I get what you're saying, well, the Abraham Accords added to that. Well, well, the other thing too is that at least with, even though I'm critical of Trump for doing this with the Iranians, he had them sanctioned. So they were broke. Right. They didn't have the money to really be funding all the proxies like they did. So, you know, Hamas wouldn't have had the same level of, ok, let's go ahead and attack them if they didn't have all the financial backing and a strong Iran behind them. If Trump weren't. So I don't think October 7th would have happened.
Destiny
I mean, I saw a lot of videos that were sophisticated. They weren't driving Humvees like Toyota.
Myron
Like, of course, of course, of course. But like, what I'm saying is, like, I don't like the. They. They wouldn't have had a strong Iran to back them. In that attack as the way that they did and obviously with Hezbollah and everything else because Hezbollah was shooting rockets into Israel like on October 8th, right after.
Destiny
But I mean they had like the third largest missile stockpile in the world. That wasn't just because, just because of Iran.
Myron
Yeah, yeah. But like they're embolden because they were stronger. So my, my point is, I think. And you're going to disagree with me on this, I think Trump's foreign policy though I do, I'm very critical of it. I'm not a Magatar. Do you know this? I still think it's better than Biden.
Destiny
What's like one that like he, like he put in work for it.
Myron
Not like Congo and the Rwandans and like that look you're not going to look at as a W. But I think the fact that he's talking to Russia. No, I'm not gonna say North Korea. No, no, no, no. But I, I think the fact that he's at least talking with Russia, at least he's talking with Putin. There's some semblance of mutual respect there to a degree. I do think that can at least the, the bridges there about walking. Well, he didn't even talk. He didn't even talk to the Biden administration. Kamala were in. We. This would be even more cooked when it comes to Russia, Ukraine.
Destiny
But you said mutual respect. How. Where is the evidence that Putin has any respect at all for Trump?
Myron
Yeah. So he actually left the meeting early to say, hey, I gotta go talk to Trump like literally like a couple.
Destiny
Days ago to go butter him up a little bit and then go bomb Ukraine like 20 times harder the next time again.
Myron
No, no, no. But the point, the point I'm trying.
Destiny
To make Even Trump himself 15 times.
Myron
Keep bombing Ukraine in public. Again, I'm not saying it's fantastic. What I am saying it's better than not having any talks at all. Right? Like the step one to diplomacy is talking and with the Biden administration and if Kamala Harris were in, they wouldn't even be talking.
Destiny
Step one to humiliation is also talking though. Right? Like it's a big W that Putin's like, I just talked to this and then I like did 10x more missile attacks the next day and he didn't about it. Like that looks good for Putin.
Myron
Right. Well, here's the other thing. Remember we, we, we backed Ukraine when they did their drone strike on Russia. That was embarrassing for them where we destroyed a bunch of their fighter jets. Remember that when Ukraine did basically did the Same thing that the Mossad did with Iran when it was like a bunch of fighter.
Destiny
Wait, when?
Myron
Okay, so a couple like, I don't know if you heard about this story a couple like a month ago.
Destiny
I know about the drones.
Myron
When Ukraine was behind enemy lines and they were able to. Basically. Yeah, so. So that was embarrassing for Russia, right?
Destiny
Sure.
Myron
And we obviously funded that. So like.
Destiny
Did we obviously fund it? I mean. Yeah, dude, this is, I think this was like a manpower attack. This wasn't like an ultra sophisticated technology attack. This was like a.
Myron
No, no, it was sophisticated. They were behind enemy lines and they were able to launch the drones to go ahead and attack the.
Destiny
Yeah, but it was like, it was like that's all our weapons, dude.
Myron
All our.
Destiny
It was drones. It wasn't like these weren't like billion dollar. It was like a years long project of like assembling stuff behind enemy lines, paying. I'm just saying it wasn't like this is like a five million dollar missile every time. It was like a free technology.
Myron
It's our intelligence, that's our, you know, we're the ones telling them how to set up and everything. Like dude, it's all us. Like the Ukrainians.
Destiny
I don't believe that. I bet, I bet that right now.
Myron
CIA is 100 super involved in this conflict, feeding them all kinds of intelligence.
Destiny
I don't even know how much we could coach them in terms of, of. Because the type of warfare that they're participating in has never been seen on the planet. All this drone back and forth and shit. They're probably getting like new methods and intelligence and ways to do the shit that like nobody's conceived of. I'm sure we're collecting data, but I don't know how hand in hand we are with them on everything.
Myron
Well no, we're. Dude, we're literally. RCIA guys are over there, like literally. The only difference is like it's not our guys that are operating, you know, the weapons and like that. But in some cases where the Ukrainians don't know how to operate it, our guys are operating it. Like we're as close as you can be to the conflict without actually being in the conflict. And I think that's another big problem why diplomacy is failing. Because it's like, well you just launched an attack where you destroyed a bunch of my nuclear capable fighter jets.
Destiny
So to be fair, they left when they did those attacks. Those are the only planes they left alone. They didn't attack the nuclear capable ones explicitly, which was interesting.
Myron
No, they did attack Them all.
Destiny
They didn't. They left those, they left just those planes alone. Because there's a lot of theorizing and speculating on why they did it. And the idea is that they're.
Myron
Because all the outlets I looked at, they said they, they destroyed the nuclear capable ones.
Destiny
I mean, we can fact check, put.
Myron
It on screen and that's fine. It's. It's not that big a deal. But like, you know, I'd like to, you know, to see where you saw that.
Destiny
Like, I mean, like, Russia would understand us helping Ukraine because that's where it's all in our interest. Like, we all know what we're doing. We have to be like when, like when, like when Iran bombs a US base in, in Qatar, right? They said that we completely and totally obliterated that, and we know they didn't. And no, we'll make a little statement. We're not going to sit here and lord it over them because they need to have that win. They need to have that to maintain the legitimacy.
Myron
That's like notified us, Right. It's not real.
Destiny
Two hours before. Yeah. Y time. People are evacuating beforehand.
Myron
Right.
Destiny
It's like when Putin says, you know, we're going to do shit. And like, people are freaking out because nukes are moving around. It's like, well, they're doing it above ground. We can see everything. Like that's good. That's okay for us.
Myron
You know, I still think that though this is bad. Don't get it twisted. I think the. For like what we got going on with Russia, Ukraine and the fact that they're trying to push this bill through is l. I still think it's head and shoulders above anything Kamala Harris would have been able to do or what the Biden administration was doing. Because at least they're talking. Yes. It's not going as well as we want, obviously. Trump is visibly frustrated. It. But step one with diplomacy is talking. The Biden administration was three years.
Destiny
Nothing gets resolved.
Myron
Then I owe you a beer.
Destiny
Okay.
Myron
Then I owe you a beer.
Destiny
You said you're not a fan of the big beautiful bill. It's a hard world to be in then. Now you know how we felt defending Biden. Okay. Yeah, it's awkward, right? I got to do strong demands. And I'm like, what do we got in the West Politico reporting today. And then the Trump guy's like, oh, boy.
Myron
Oh, man. So, okay, look, with every bill there's. Because it's so goddamn big, like, you can't agree or like Everything with it. Obviously, I'm pro immigration, right? No, not pro. Pro immigration enforcement. Excuse me. So I do think that, you know, the deportations is a good thing. You might disagree with me on that. I don't know if you want to, what your position is on that.
Destiny
My big issue when it comes to stuff is that like, regardless what you feel, Trump is politically fucking retarded. Like, he picks way too many fights. He can't focus on anything he doesn't know how to get. Like, PR wins. The biggest that I have when the left, like, fights against him. Like, ICE is important. Like a border is important. Having like an actual immigration policy where we know who's in the country. Like, these are important things.
Myron
And because that's all progressive.
Destiny
Like, he leaves an immigration, like, immigration fucking unhinged. Like, I see where people are coming from when they're like, abolish ICE and shit. Like, it's pretty crazy that there are kids drowning in Texas and then there are like, horses, like, walking through MacArthur park in fucking LA as a show of. And it's like, what the fuck? This is the gayest shit I've ever seen in my entire life. What are we doing right now? Now these guys are kitted out in like, body armor. There's like, like, they're Ukrainians in ditches that see how our like, feds are equipped, like, doing nothing in California. Like, what the fuck? So, like, like, I think that the. I think there is like, there is a good conversation we had about immigration and I think pushed.
Myron
Do you want to go into immigration?
Destiny
We could, but I think that whole conversation is even further away now after the unhinged shit that Trump has done everywhere. Like, I think it's like, fucked for a while now.
Myron
Okay. So my position is, I think he's actually fairly good on immigration. I don't like what he's doing with the, the anti Semitism bills, like deporting fucking college students. I think that's retarded. It. But, you know, the stronger border, obviously we know that, you know, illegal entries are down like something wild, like 90% or whatever. But I do think in the whole, though, I'm critical of the deporting of college students because I think those resources could be better allocated to actually going after illegal aliens. I think in general, enforcing immigration is a good thing. Something that we haven't done for a very long time. And you know, outside of like, you know, people say, oh, well, Obama, you know, did a bunch of deportations. Yeah, like catching people at the border and releasing them are Two different things. It's not the same as, like interior action enforcement and when it comes to like, interior enforcement, you know, that is where Trump, like, shines compared to other places, I guess.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
Other politics.
Destiny
Hopefully they don't listen to this podcast at all. But, like, I think that Trump could have gotten the easiest W's in the world by going to sanctuary city, sanctuary states and just sending the feds into like, prisons, state prisons and being like, we're taking, we're going to do paperwork, check on everybody and we're going to, you know, dump these guys out. They could have gotten a lot of deportations. It would have been probably cheap. But compared to what they're doing now.
Myron
Well, the problem with the sanctuary cities is they don't even, like, they don't. And I can tell you this from like my professional experience. Parents, bro, they don't even honor the detainers. Like, I remember when I was on a job, someone would be illegal, hey, I want you to hold this person for us. They let them go for sure.
Destiny
But that's what I'm saying. Going to prisons where they're already. People already arrested and shit, and then start doing like background checks there. I'm just saying it would have been cheaper than what they're doing now. It would have been really hard.
Myron
They reserve the right to tell the feds you're not coming in here. Like, that's how bad it was.
Destiny
Supremacy. I don't know.
Myron
That's how bad it was getting there.
Destiny
For like deportion related, deportation related stuff. Even if they did say that, in my mind, it would still be a W because Trump could very easily say, we're just trying to go into a prison. We just want to deport the felons, the violent criminals and they're harboring them. Because now we can't say, we just want people to be able to work and be happy and take other businesses kind of like. But when you're, but when you're running around like raiding like Home Depots and deporting, you know, like, people to El Salvador, like the, like, he's like picking the most evil to make everybody hate him for no reason.
Myron
And it's like, well, that's. And that's the thing with immigration, right? You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Like, yeah, you're gonna go after people that are just like hard working in here, but they're here illegally, man. And this has been a long time that we've been kind of been like, compassionate, like, oh, my God, we don't want to be offended, but it's like they got to get removed. And like, when it comes to the thing with the state. So there's this myth, right? Like, oh, you know, the feds can trump the state or whatever. State law enforcement actually has far more authority than people think. And they can literally tell you go Palestine. You're not walking in this fucking jail and you can't go in there, be like, well, you need to let me in. Like, no, the feds don't have as much authority as people think. Like, they might not.
Destiny
But the thing is, is that, like, in matters of border enforcement, this is where the executive is at its peak when it comes to power and enforcement and everything.
Myron
Yes, on the border, they have way more power. But here's the thing about interior enforcement.
Destiny
But I'm saying you could probably make, like, immigration arguments when it comes to, when it comes to, like, state prisons and stuff. I'm sure that they could make the argument or they could set up the same way they do for state courthouses, where they just wait outside the courthouse and when a motherfucker comes out.
Myron
Yeah. And that's a big reason why they have to do that, because.
Destiny
But they could do it, do it in prisons and state prisons. Like, it's such a. It's an easy optical win. You look bad defending it. Right. Like, it looks bad to throw people out of Home Depot no matter what. Even conservatives are like, you know, you don't want to, like. Right. If they just do it out of prisons, it'd be so much more popular. And like, at the end of this term, Trump is not deporting a significant number of people. It's not going to happen. Right.
Myron
Well, here's the thing, like, I see what you're saying, like, hey, just sit out the side of jail stuff. But the problem is that they get released at irrele irregular times. You don't know when they're going to be released.
Destiny
They'll release, without telling you, $168 billion. Put a cop in the back and in the front, you got the time to have these guys work doubles. You can do it. He allocates so much money. If he wanted to do it, he could do it.
Myron
Okay, no, no. Well, here's the thing again, with this.
Destiny
Guy deployed the national, there's only some Marines to California. He can send some feds to sit outside an LA jail for, you know.
Myron
Two months with ICRO because they're the main people that have Title 8 or whatever. There's a certain amount of manpower, etc. Yes, you can designate people to have Title 8 authority and put them out there and everything, but you know, we're talking about every single jail. That'd be an enormous amount.
Destiny
Pick two. Okay, Destiny, you're telling me that they can't do this at the same time where I watch like the, like a Baghdad's invasion fleet, like drive down LA to go surround MacArthur park for a three hour horse gallivanting. Did you watch the videos of this?
Myron
No. I did see some of it, yeah.
Destiny
They caught zero fucking people. However much money they spent on that, they could have monitored one prison for one month. I'm sure they could.
Myron
Of course, of course. What I'm saying is that like, that's like, do you really want to put, you know, six guys at the jail? 24 hours waiting for this guy to walk out the jail.
Destiny
Like, isn't it a better use of resources than the MacArthur park deployment?
Myron
Well, again, it always depends on who the alien is. Like, what's their background? Like, are they a criminal alien? Every case is obviously dependent on the person's criminal history. Who they are, how many times they've been apprehended, whatever. But I do think in general, what we got going on with immigration is better than before. I know some of it is sensationalized to you, but I do think, like.
Destiny
I mean, like, the El Salvador shit is unhinged. Why?
Myron
With who? With.
Destiny
Why are we deporting anybody to El Salvador? Why? We make a deal to send them to their special prisons, I'm paying them for it. It's like, well, we don't have to. It's just like, unhinged.
Myron
Well, yeah, I see your position, but the thing is, is that like a lot of countries, some countries, like, won't take them back, right? Like, I'll give you.
Destiny
I thought we had a master deal maker.
Myron
Well, no, these have been put. Like some of these countries, like Cape Verde, I'll give you a perfect example. Like Cape Verde, for example, won't take their aliens back. Like, and like in Boston, they get caught all the time for being in gangs and committing violence. And since Cape Verde won't take them back, I just can't do anything with them. They go back out into the streets.
Destiny
I don't believe that they won't take it back. I think if the United States, a lot of countries don't take them, we're flying. No, zero chance. The US Says we're flying. I'm telling you this from the US person. If the United States were to Say, hey, we're bringing these people back to your country and you're going to fucking take us Him. There's zero world where the country's like, oh, actually, you, us, you know, you guys can keep them. We're not taking from you. No shot. Just like with. When they're like, oh, no, we can't get him back. He said, I'll stop. It's nothing we do. And all of a sudden, well, we knew he could.
Myron
They could have got him back. But I'm saying, like. But what? Like, like again, there's some countries where they won't take it back, bro. I'm telling you, K Verde is one of them. There's more. I just can't go drop him off.
Destiny
At the un Give him to the hag if you want it. There's no shot. You're telling me that the United States couldn't deport somebody to a country? I'm telling you we should say it to all do anything.
Myron
They're sensitive. They're sensitive diplomacy things. Like, there's.
Destiny
There' countries where you think Trump is the sensitive diplomacy guy.
Myron
No, no, I'm not saying. I'm saying in general, these things have been in. And it been in place forever. There's some countries that simply won't take their people back, which is why you have to remove them sometimes to other countries where they might have an agreement where they can get them back to that country. Does that make sense? I'm going in the weeds here. No, no, because this is fine.
Destiny
I'm saying dramatically, what you're saying makes sense. I'm just saying that, like, realistically, that's not how it would work. Right. Like, if I had, like, if I had the passwords to. If I had the passwords to some horribly incriminating piece of information on you, and then I had the best password protection on my computer in the world, and then we have a debate on whether or not you can get that information on my computer. What would you say?
Myron
I'm a bit confused by your.
Destiny
If I had incriminating information on you in my computer, I had it locked down so nobody could get in but me. Would I. Would you agree that you could never get into my computer?
Myron
Probably not.
Destiny
No, no, you would. You would just beat the. Out of me until I gave you the password.
Myron
You wanted me to use violence. Yeah.
Destiny
Well, with the United States. Yeah, we use violence everywhere. So I'm just saying that, like, if you want to say, like, well, diplomat. There are issues and people don't want to take blah Blah, blah. And it's like, like, in a sense that's kind of true. But at the end of the day, if the United States were saying, you're taking these motherfuckers back, they will take them back.
Myron
But again, the aliens got to be worth it. It's got to be a big deal. Like, it's got to be. Here's the thing, they don't want to go ahead and exercise, you know, our weight and our, like, hey, you need to take them back unless it's really worth it. So in general, is the El Salvador.
Destiny
Ship been worth it?
Myron
Well, I'm not, I'm, I'm not talking about El Salvador. I'm talking about in general. Like there are countries out there that simply won't take their people back. So what ends up happening is, is, and I'm telling you this from immigration standpoint, like, they're not going to go and fight and be like, take this guy back, blah, blah, it's pain in the ass. So instead they'll remove him to another country. That country might have an agreement with that individual, with that other country that won't take them back from us, and then they'll give them back that way. So that's the way that they, that's the way that they get around it.
Destiny
I think by the end of the four years, he's not going to have deported a significant amount of people.
Myron
Well, a lot of people aren't coming in too, so well into it.
Destiny
Yeah, a little bit, sure. But I mean, if we have anywhere from 13 to 20 million, depending who you ask people here, a big amount.
Myron
Of, like the deportations people talk about, a lot of it is just, you know, we'll turn around. Yeah. Expedited removals. Ers. So. But I do think, in general, I think what he's doing with immigration is, is good in general. Like there's.
Destiny
Even though by the end of his four years, we're not going to deport a significant. On our people, they're still all basically going to be here.
Myron
Well, deterrence is important and people not coming in is super important as well. And closing down the border is important.
Destiny
Sure. I mean, to be fair, nobody's coming here right now. Like, tourism is down like 80% as well. But I mean, like, that's.
Myron
Who cares? Who cares? Strong borders. But yeah, I think, I think in general, like the deterrence and the people not coming in, that's a big. Because the other thing too is that like when it comes to illegal aliens and coming, that funds a lot of illegal Activity. So like these human smuggling organizations, they're taking a big pay cut as well. So it helps with many other ways where it's positive reverberations.
Destiny
Yeah, I mean, I agree carving that is good. I just, I think there are way better ways to do it. But. Okay, what about amnesty for these illegals? Okay, I would say my position is that nobody wants to have that conversation, but amnesty is the only realistic way to solve the illegal immigration problem. Problem. I feel like you can do it. I feel like you can like a, like a carrot and stick approach where if you've been here for, you know, at least like five years, if, if you can prove you don't have like a criminal record, like, and I mean like a real criminal record, not like a speeding ticket, but like no, like felonies, no bad misdemeanors for violence or whatever, then I think you give a path to amnesty for maybe you cap them at a green card or whatever and maybe you make them pay a fine if conservatives want to jerk off for the next five years of their income. But like the reality is, is they're already hired by businesses. Businesses they're renting, you know, they already, you know, they exist in these communities. Like they're sucking them out would just collapse like so many different parts of different parts of economies that if you have a path to amnesty, you can do that and then simultaneously you hardcore ramp up your conditions or your penalties for violating. So make it so like if you get caught here illegally, it's not five years, it's like 25 years or it's a lifetime ban from the US or if you're caught helping somebody, you know, you have more ways to prosecute these people. Make it so like there's a path to amnesty and then if you don't follow it, the penalties are like 10x what they were before. And then just once we have that shit settled, then you move forward with whatever, hopefully a new immigration policy is. But just going at it with a sick stick, sick approach, like again, by the end of the time, we're not deporting a million people that are in here right now in the interior, except for maybe some of the people that came in for the, the not amnesty, the asylum seeking shit, maybe those guys will leave. Yeah, the problem is like never getting fixed and then it just becomes like a virtue signal thing on both sides forever and we don't get any closer to solving it, I think.
Myron
Yeah, so my thing is, I, I, I, I, I like your idea. I, I would put a little Bit stricter, you know, be extremely productive for, you know, for you to stay here. You need to have show like, you know, significant ties to community. Are you contributing? What are you doing specifically? Etc. And if that individual is, you know, obviously contributing to the country from a significant standpoint and they've been here for a significant amount of time, then we can, you know, figure something out. But I do think that, you know, just giving everybody a pass just to stick around when they're not contributing is. Is a problem. And I do think that, you know, we should be more on the deportation side if they're not contributing. And I do think when it comes to visa visas, because we're not just getting beat when it comes to, you know, immigration just on people coming in illegally. I think our visa system is super flawed. People have used the student visa system. People abuse the marriage system where they, you know, commit marriage fraud. So we have to redo our entire immigration system, our immigration, Immigration moratorium for at least one to five years, bare minimum.
Destiny
That would be scary for a variety of reasons, but the. The immigration is also absurdly fucking complicated. When I got married to Melissa, we did the K1 visa.
Myron
Sorry to hear that, man.
Destiny
What? Listen, hey, it was a fun five years. Listen, relationships come and go. It's fine. But when we were doing our immigration stuff.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
I think the. The way that it works for the K1 visa is when we got engaged, she could come here and then had 90 days for us to get married. And then once we got married, technically you file. I don't remember the form 184. I don't. I've been making numbers up, but it's something that you file for adjustment of status change.
Myron
Yeah, 485 or something like that.
Destiny
But while you're waiting for that, for the. Between the K1 visa expiration and then while we were married, waiting for that change of status, technically she's here illeg. So, like, she couldn't leave the country because if she tried to come back, they wouldn't let her. And if she did get caught anywhere, technically she could get expelled because she's not technically supposed to be here. And I feel like there's a lot of weird immigration shit like that where you're in this weird kind of in between the world of.
Myron
Yeah. Where you're in limbos. Yeah, for sure.
Destiny
There was that one story with the. The Iranian wife. There was some guy who was married to some Iranian chick who was there for, I guess her LPR or green card got revoked like 15 years ago. And they were working with like, the State Department and like a lawyer to kind of get it back. And then randomly she just gets, like, deported. She's like a family. There's like a normal woman who's, like, not doing any weird shit at all.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
And it's like, yeah, there's so much, like, fucking shit. And that's another thing that's frustrating is if you don't want to talk about immigration reform, which would include our visas and everything else, it's like, what the fuck are we actually doing?
Myron
You know, that's why. That's what I'm saying, like, you know, because I. I realize that, like, you know, obviously we got to do deportation, whatever, but I'm also on the other side. Like, we need to fix the entire system because the system is cooked, which is why we have all these problems. And we're not just getting beat because everyone looks at it like the border. The border, that's just one component. We're getting beat on visas with green cards, with how people adjust, you know, all different types of stuff. Right. The marriage, the K1 visa route that you gave. Dude, there's an entire illegal organization that literally they're like, oh, yeah, I'll get you, okay, one visa and get you married for $20,000. Like, people are exploiting this stuff. So we need to reform the entire immigration thing. I think we need one to five year moratorium at least to fix it. But yeah, the reason why I don't.
Destiny
Like the moratorium stuff is we're already attacking so much, our harvesting of international talent with the whole visa with her students and the attacks on our institutions.
Myron
Which are, I think is a problem. I think we need to focus more on getting 01s over here. People that, like, have actual real exceptional skills, not, you know, Jeets that are going to come in and kind of code.
Destiny
I mean, coding is the future. As much as people don't like it.
Myron
Like, well, they're coding sucks. We need Americans.
Destiny
If that was true, then we'd hire Americans. No offense, but American coders kind of suck. Well, a lot of people got.
Myron
It's because they're expensive.
Destiny
Well, sure, but I mean, like, what does that say?
Myron
Well, well, they want to cut corners and they want to pay them less. And then also they can put them on a slave contract. Hey, you got to work here for four years and they just want me. Visa is a scam and Vivek is a.
Destiny
But yeah, I'm just saying that, like, if you go around the world for all the people you Know Muslims that hate America, people in China, they hate America. Everybody hates America. Whoever, whoever hates America. America. Nobody's looking at America and being like, oh yeah, like Harvard and Yale and Columbia, what horrible aspects of the United States. Like these are like our shining star. Like schools that are like super under attack by this administration. And then a lot of the, like we agree on this. I can always agree with you when Israel's involved, if I'm on the other side of it, like this deporting people over like pro Palestine protests and shit. Like what the fuck is so fucking stupid?
Myron
And my position on that isn't even really from like a Hamas reason. My thing is because it's antithetical to the First Amendment. That's, that's why I'm so against it. Like, like these people are here legally. We could be using those resources to go after people that are here illegally. And you're going after them for the, for using literally the First Amendment to.
Destiny
Go after to protest Israel is, you.
Myron
Know, and here's the thing, like these people that come in and say the stupid about global antifada, I don't agree with it but like my thing is like they should have the right to say it because it's the United States of America.
Destiny
There's also, and we forget this because it's a social media era and everything else and every person has the same power online. But like I reiterated this a lot. Like people from 18 to 22 are fucking retarded. No offense, but they are so like cartagent. I could put a camera in front of him. It could be online forever. Like if my from when I was 14 or 15 was online forever, like I would be.
Myron
I was literally talking about that with a guy that like social media is like, yeah, it's helped a lot of young people.
Destiny
It's crazy because like if you think of like destiny Steveno, you think of like you know, like Dean Withers or whatever, right? Yeah, like we have like voices online. Dean is like this is a 20 year old guy, you know, and I'm 36 and like somebody can be 55 and at the end of the day just how many followers you get, how many attention you get, how much attention you get. So yeah, cracking down on like a 20 year old for saying some at a protest is like what the. It's just, it's just self defeating, I think.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, it's stupid. And again it's antithetical to the First Amendment and us doing it. Like it's crazy to me how like they could come in and say, I hate Trump, nobody cares. I hate Netanyahu. Jail, deported, you know, so that's my thing.
Destiny
Yeah. I think all of us here are against cancel culture.
Myron
Yeah. Yeah.
Destiny
All three of us have been canceled.
Myron
Are you pro censor? No, I'm just kidding.
Destiny
I mean, it's going to be a lot more nuanced than that. But I don't know how you can say you're MAGA in anti cancel culture, considering Trump is literally writing executive. You're not MAGA either, right?
Myron
You know, look, I like Trump there. You know, I voted for him. There's some things that I don't like that he does. I'm like, I'm able to be impartial and be critical of dumb shit that he does. Like, that's one thing between me and, like, other people that, like, I love Trump. They'll never criticize him. That's stupid. There's things that he does that I like and these things that he does that I don't like. And I will call him out.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
So that's my thing.
Destiny
Let's talk about this New York City Mayor. Destiny. You support this guy or what? I'll support probably whatever Democrat gets to the primary. I mean, the guy is significantly to the left of me. But the way that I see it is socially, not even close. The way that I see it is that left people tend to not be like authoritarian dictators like Trump is. So my guess is there's going to be some stuff that he wants to do that he just can't.
Myron
Well, let me ask you this.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
Because you're on the left, what do you think about your party going further and further towards socialism and further and further left?
Destiny
I think that online, I think in a lot of the media spaces, it.
Myron
Looks like that aoc, Bernie, et cetera, Bernie run.
Destiny
Yeah. But Bernie and AOC are like, hated now by these, like, far lefties online. AOC has moderated her position a lot since she first came into office. For sure, Bernie has been Bernie for.
Myron
It's probably going to run away. 28 maybe.
Destiny
But, like, where are the rest of these guys, like Rashid Talib and. And the other two Justice Dems, I don't remember their names. Like, nobody knows people anymore. Like no more got elected to Congress. Like, that movement kind of died. I mean, in New York, they ran Cuomo. I mean, what do you. Why. I mean, and then you had Bendami, probably ran a good campaign. I mean, is that he's going to win? Probably.
Myron
I think he's going to win.
Destiny
Wow. But I mean, like I said, saying.
Myron
Everything that, you know, I did a whole tweet on this. Like, why he's winning. Like, again, I don't agree with his political views, but he's literally saying everything that people in New York want to hear. Right. Fuck Israel. Just shit's too expensive. Let's go ahead and make them grocery stores owned by the city so you can afford it. Like. Like he's saying all the things that New Yorkers want to hear.
Destiny
I think half of shit will get. It will be impossible to do.
Myron
Oh, he's not going to do it.
Destiny
I think, like, if he does try stuff, I mean, either some of it will work and then I'll change the way that I view some of it, or some of it will fail and I just have more stuff that I.
Myron
Can point to and go to New York City. Like, yeah, it's going to be so hard for him to do anything. And the. That he's like going at the Israel lobby in New York City, which is like the most populated Jewish population in the United States. They're going to fight back. I mean, like, Bill Ackman right now is getting like a big treasure chest of money to. To fight him off.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
So we'll see what happens. But I do think he's going to win, but I think it's going to be nearly impossible for him to get anything done.
Destiny
So new some in Cali going against Trump. Where are you guys siding on that one? Obviously Newsom, my boy.
Myron
You know, I, I think California's cooked, man. I, I just, you know, and it's showing. Like, we've seen a huge explosion in population in Texas and then a huge explosion of population in Florida. Right. Like, we see in Austin, Texas, the two hottest real estate markets. Right. I know this is an investor. Austin and like Miami pretty much over the past couple of years. It's cooling off now, but I think the people leaving says everything you need to know. Vegas also exploded in. I mean, you know that Vegas has exploded into population.
Destiny
Yeah. But I was going to say, like, all they're going to. It's not like these places are exploding because they're. They're amazing places to live where they're popular. It's because California's gotten so expensive because so many people already. So, like, all the. I know in Miami, people are complaining about increased cost of housing. In Austin, they definitely complain about it. So, like, yeah, they're gonna. They're on their way to the same problems more or less in terms of stuff Being unaffordable or.
Myron
Yeah, but the point is, is that. I think the point is, is that blue cities tend to get expensive and then drive people out when they go to, you know, red states.
Destiny
My thing is, like, if California was in so much trouble, especially because of things like illegal immigration, everything, why is Trump so keen on deporting people from California? Why not focus your efforts on places like Texas where you, like, you know, where you've got good relationships with governors and leaders, and then let California fail?
Myron
Because. Because, because I could tell you this, again, professional background, but, like, in Texas, they're far more like the local law enforcement. Like, Will, the only city in Texas, really, that's, like, lame. On this is, like, Austin, but every other city in Texas, the local sheriffs and everything, they will help with immigration enforcement.
Destiny
Sure. But I'm saying, why not? Like, California doesn't let them fall to illegal immigration and then come. Come in and clean up, basically.
Myron
Well, you don't want it to get to that point because then it becomes really tough to actually enforce immigration the way you want. If, like, if it becomes too much of a problem, you mean, Or.
Destiny
I mean, if you think it's, like, so deleterious to the state, like, why not let it. Like, why not let them suffer with that? Yeah, like, Trump likes to play games with FEMA funds all the time. Why not play games with illegal immigrants going to their.
Myron
I mean, I mean, it's. It's one thing to, like, you know, kind of teach them a lesson, but it's another thing to, like, just let, like, illegals come in and just, like, ravage the place.
Destiny
I mean, I guess they sell their border enforcement. They could be the. I mean, they can do that. So.
Myron
But it's tough because, like, the state isn't helpful, so it's hard for them to do what they want to do versus, like, in Texas, the reason why we don't have these problems is, like, the sheriffs and the locals are way more happy about that. Right. Hell, there's, like, Texas statute for, like, smuggling aliens. They never get it prosecuted, but there's a statute on the books for it, even though they don't have Title 8.
Destiny
What about the Title 6 stuff going on in Cali? Have you guys been following that Title 6 with the transgender stuff?
Myron
I have not been following that.
Destiny
No. I don't give a. About transgender stuff. Okay. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Conservatives have been obsessed with that for, like, six years.
Myron
It's. It's a. It's. I've Even been critical of it. Like it's a 1% issue. It's like, yeah, we can make fun of them for being weirdos and. Well, like there's other stuff to, you know, worry about. What. What else do we disagree about? That we hate each other on Destiny.
Destiny
You guys agreed a lot, to be honest.
Myron
Well, I mean we disagree on like foreign policy and in Israel. What else? You're going to feminism. We've done that so many times.
Destiny
You've done the feminism, dating stuff, I guess.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
You're against foreign ages in general, right? I think you came on a few months ago against what foreign aid, like entirely?
Myron
Yeah, yeah, I dislike like foreign aid, especially when it comes to like military funding. I think is like, like. No, like I. Yeah, I don't like foreign aid. I don't like. Yeah, especially when it comes to military.
Destiny
Okay, here's a question. I'm curious.
Myron
I have a non. To give you my foreign policy. Like I have like a non interventionalist mindset when it comes to that.
Destiny
Fuck that.
Myron
Sorry.
Destiny
I said fuck foreign policy. What as of right now, if you had to grade this admin for like F it's a fail A is a good job. Where would you grade them so far for foreign policy? On everything? Like just how happy are you? I guess with how the Trump admin is going to question. I'm assuming that right now if you could revote, you would still vote for Trump over Kamala?
Myron
Yeah, I would. I would still vote for him over Kamala. I'd give him a C right now.
Destiny
Okay.
Myron
Like a CC minus depending on the day.
Destiny
Okay. And what are you looking for by the end of the four years? To be like either. I'm glad they finally got this done. This is like they are up to a B or an A or versus like if they did this, they're like this was too much like them. They didn't get. They didn't get this done or that done.
Myron
You know, I'm really hoping that we can like de. Escalate or end the conflict in Russia or sorry in. In Ukraine and like kind of, you know, make some type of diplomacy with Russia. The Middle east is cooked, man. Like, it's like we've just like completely unable to enabled and emboldened Israel to conduct a bunch of. They're going to attack Iran again. That ceasefire is so yeah, the immigration is okay. I. I think us spending money on going after anti Semitism is. But yeah, but I like the murder rates are down, which is good. The FBI is actually getting out there and like, doing real versus sitting around and doing, you know, terrorists all day. JTTF never does anything. So it's good that they're actually out there doing shit, helping out with the raids. So, you know, I think these. These are all good things. Crime is down in general.
Destiny
But yeah, same question to you. Where do you rank this administration? F minus, obviously. I knew you'd say that.
Myron
Yeah, of course. You know, it's interesting, though, because, like, whoever is like the administration, like the side that's in power, like, now, the Dems are like, going to come at us. Right. Like, the progressives, like, they've been cooking Trump on this Epstein file thing for the days now.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
Right.
Destiny
So I knew he was cooking him on it. Right.
Myron
Yeah. And then. And then when he bombed Iran, they came at us again like, I mean.
Destiny
This was a guy who said, no new wars. No new wars.
Myron
I know.
Destiny
Again. Right.
Myron
I knew you were gonna. Sure.
Destiny
I mean, I think the Eric Adams stuff in New York is. That's just on.
Myron
He was cooked as soon as he took money from the Turks.
Destiny
Well, I'm saying the fact that the Trump admin basically blackmailed him and they're, like, open about it, too. We're like, we're gonna delay all the prosecution until after the election.
Myron
They pardoned them, dude. They pardoned him.
Destiny
But it was. Well, it. The pardon with prejudice only came because that's the only thing the judge would approve because he's like, we're not going to do this, you know. You know, without prejudice. You can pursue it again when the election.
Myron
Allow the ICE race to happen. Don't give us time in New York City.
Destiny
Insane. All of the.
Myron
I agree with that. I think that was. That was. That was stupid. Yeah.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
That's why the U.S. attorney resigned for that shit.
Destiny
A lot of them resigned.
Myron
Yeah. She was like, I don't want to be involved in this.
Destiny
Yeah, yeah. The writing executive order is targeting people. I think the. You want to talk about lawfare? I think that the legal stuff has been insane. Trying to sue like, Seltzer because. Because he's not happy with the Iowa polls. All of the weird lawsuits. Like, I used to argue against conservatives all the time where I'm like, it's not your first member. Right. To be on social media now. Trump is like, getting all these settlements from these. From his friends who are like, oh, because he's suing, like, Twitter for banning him. Because he's saying that. Violent. My first. Not. Right.
Myron
It's because. It's because they were colluding with the government to ban him.
Destiny
That's not what they were alleging in the civil cases. They were just saying that like his First Amendment right was violated and that's why they banned him. And so they were like. And he got payouts. He got settlements for like six different big companies over dumb shit like this. Was it ABC or NBC where the guy was like, he raped.
Myron
I know. He signed the executive. He signed the executive order. Basically. Like, the government can't collude social media companies to, you know, censor U.S. citizens.
Destiny
Sure, I guess. Although that never happened, but yeah, I.
Myron
Mean, he signed it. That doesn't mean it gets passed, but.
Destiny
No, I know. No, no, I'm saying that the collusion with the social media companies, with the FBI and all that never really happened. Like, none of the Twitter files showed that.
Myron
Oh, no, no, I was, I wasn't referring to that. No, no, no, I wasn't. I was referring to him signing the executive order in. John General.
Destiny
Sure. Trying to get rid of birthright citizenship through executive order is crazy. I think.
Myron
Yeah, I don't even know because I was, I think I was keeping up with that, but I didn't, like, I don't know where it's at right now.
Destiny
That'S gonna be litigated.
Myron
I know a judge, I know a judge, like, try to block it.
Destiny
The last I read, yeah, that block went away. So now basically it would be no, no more birth by soil for. Until the courts figure it out, which could be five or 10 years. So who knows? Wow. All the things with the tariffs and the trade deals that aren't materializing, I think it's been a disaster blowing up a relationship with.
Myron
With. I think, I think the tariffs idea is good if implemented properly, but the problem is that they just wing winged it, dude. Like, that's the issue.
Destiny
Like, especially like, it's too many contrary. Like if you want to fight with China because you think that's the number one enemy, fine, but then that has to come. That has to coincide with the strengthening of our relationship with Canada and Mexico. It can't be fighting with everybody at the same time.
Myron
Yeah, well, the other thing too is like, and, and I know this, I forget where I read this, but like, like when he first announced the tariffs, a bunch of companies said, hey, we need, we want to have a meeting with Trump at the White House.
Destiny
They showed up, they want to get reprieved.
Myron
We. Look, we will go ahead if you're serious about this shit. We'll bring, you know, trade back here and we'll Start bringing factories. But we need you to commit to this for like the whole time you're here.
Destiny
At least.
Myron
Like, yeah. And they couldn't give him a commitment. So it was like, oh my God. So like, what is going on with these tariffs? Is this more of a negotiation tool versus like actually trying to bring trade back? Because, like, if you're going to do the tariffs, you got to do it right. And the thing is that they just winged it, dude. I think if you do it properly, it absolutely can work.
Destiny
Maybe, but that.
Myron
But the other thing too also, that's like a big red pill that people don't know is that like, you can't be a huge consumer but then also become a huge producer. Because if you're a huge consumer, well, if you produce it, you're going to. And you have the reserve currency. It's too expensive to produce it. Does that make sense? It's. You have to ship it off to other places that you could continue to consume at the rate that you consume.
Destiny
Kind of, yeah. I mean, it's complicated though, because there are benefits.
Myron
A tripping dilemma is what it's called. Basically, you have reserve currency, you're always going to have trade deficit.
Destiny
But there's a benefit to that as well and that we can fund a lot of our government without having to do like exorbitant interest rates. Because there's always going to be people who want to buy treasury bonds and shit because everybody's holding USD. So.
Myron
Yes.
Destiny
Yeah, the.
Myron
So I. Japan started selling their shit and we were like, they had to back off on the terrorists.
Destiny
Yeah, the. I like, I can joke and my wrecking joke on Twitter because we're just random retest on Twitter. The President joking about like invading Greenland and invading Panama and Canada is a 51st day. Like, it's not. That's really spooky shit to hear from a guy who is otherwise also like very fucking unhinged. So I mean, like, yeah, I don't know. There's a lot of. A lot of not great shit, I would say.
Myron
Yeah, no, it could. Again, I don't know where the that came from, but I. I think that a little bit of Elon in his.
Destiny
Ear or whatever, like being really obsessed with the South Africa for like one week because Elon was probably talking to him about the white genocide stuff and.
Myron
Yeah, well, he needed to pivot after the H1B visa debacle.
Destiny
Sure.
Myron
He needed a pivot after that. What's your thoughts on Elon?
Destiny
I think he's one of the dumbest I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't know if the ketamine, like, drilled a hole in his prefrontal cortex and he's like a, you know, 85 IQ and dropping every day.
Myron
But I hate to say that I agree with you on that.
Destiny
It's interesting. If you look at older videos of his.
Myron
Elon pissed me off, bro. Like, big time. Like, he wrote a go ahead, I'll give my grievances after.
Destiny
No, like, if you look at older videos of this, it seems like he's like, he doesn't talk as, like, eloquently, but I don't know how to explain this. People, there's a way when somebody's speaking, even if they're like a little autistic. Like, they're searching for words because they understand the concepts and what they're talking about. And now Elon is just like. It sounds like a meme, but it says something. If I were to lie to you. Okay, okay. About my gym numbers. Okay.
Myron
If I were to. What gym?
Destiny
My gym numbers. If I were to tell you, like, listen, you go to the gym, though, sometimes. If I were to tell you, like, three months ago. Okay. You know, I could put up, like, for one rep, 225. Okay.
Myron
Yeah, yeah.
Destiny
It's. It's.
Myron
I'd be like, no way.
Destiny
Maybe. But like, it's a picture.
Myron
It didn't happen.
Destiny
Sure. But if I were to tell you I was doing 405.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
Not like. It doesn't just say that I'm lying. It says I'm a idiot.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Destiny
When Elon Musk paid somebody to boost his Path of Exile account. Account, whatever.
Myron
Oh, yeah.
Destiny
But when he.
Myron
That's what I mean. Were fighting about. Right.
Destiny
I. Who. Oh, as we go. Yeah.
Myron
It was him.
Destiny
And streamed it. And then he started talking through his gear and it's like, not only are you, like, sure you paid so many boosts or whatever, but you think that you can lie about that in front of a bunch of nerd gamers who are grinding 18 hours a day in this. Like, it says something about your mind to be. That's arrogant and stupid and. Yeah. And yeah. Like, this America First Party. I don't think Elon realizes Elon, all of his political clout was on loan from Trump.
Myron
Yes.
Destiny
Without Trump, he. This America first party is literally going nowhere.
Myron
It's cooked. And that's why, like, that's why he's trying to siphon off. I don't know if you noticed with Thomas Massey, because Thomas Massey has like a very.
Destiny
About the. Was it on the Iran stuff that he was mad on Trump on?
Myron
No, the big beautiful bill.
Destiny
Oh, it was okay.
Myron
And I was explaining it to you. Like, I. I see why he's mad because literally Tesla stock dumped. You know, most people that drive EV cars are Democrats and conservative, sorry, progressives, you know, conservatives. We, most of us think like, you know, know ev. What the fuck, like, environment, regardless of size.
Destiny
Most business leaders like, getting into politics is not good for business.
Myron
It's not.
Destiny
No matter what.
Myron
It's terrible. So. So like he lost billions of dollars in net worth. Hundreds to support hundreds. Yeah, yeah. Like literally to support Trump. And then he passes this bill, he's like, dude, what the fuck? I put all this work in and you're just like undoing it with this bill. So obviously I can see why he's mad. But yes, I see your position where, dude, when you have money like him and whatever, he has to fuck you. Money, money. Like no one ever tells him no. So like, like you were saying, like the degree of mindset you have to. Have to like lie about something so trivial says that you literally probably think you're a God and you're a weirdo. But dude, that's all these idiots. Peter Tail, Alex Carp, whatever. Anytime I hear these tech guys talk. They're weirdos. They speak in a strange manner. Nothing makes sense. They don't say anything.
Destiny
Something from that soft world was weird.
Myron
Dude, they're retarded.
Destiny
I didn't know if like I was either getting like arrogant or I listen.
Myron
To Alex Carp talk.
Destiny
I don't think I've listened to him talk, but I've listened to a lot of the crypto guys talk.
Myron
Anything.
Destiny
Okay. I listen to 10 minutes of Bezos on Lex because I'm like, are all these guys knows his. That sounds like a guy who like, did in his life. I'm like, okay, this guy seems like he. Yeah, I understand something. Listening to all of the. Who's the one guy? He looks like Notch the Minecraft maker.
Myron
Peter Teal.
Destiny
There's another Mart Andreessen or whatever. Yeah, these guys are all like, like, they talk like they think that. Yeah, it's like when you meet some kid who's like, oh, I've got like net worth $5 million and I'm 25 and I can coach you on like finance. Like, oh, wow, how'd you make your money? And it's like, I bought bitcoin and forgot about it. Yeah. Yeah, bro, you got lucky.
Myron
Yeah.
Destiny
Cash that Shit out. Sh up and go be happy that you got lucky as. Because you don't know anything about what you're talking about. And like, yeah, the whole tech world feels like that sometimes.
Myron
Yeah. And it's even worse because they can't even talk properly to, like, make you think that they're intelligent. They're a bunch of word salad.
Destiny
So don't have any of the charisma either, which is a thing they're not realizing. Again, Elon Musk is a weirdo. Like, that's a guy that conservatives will not like without Trump.
Myron
See him at the. The. The event where he pulled out the chainsaw. I said, chainsaw. Bureaucracy. And I was like, this guy's so funny.
Destiny
The same one where he had the sunglasses on.
Myron
Yes, yes, yes.
Destiny
He was high as for dude.
Myron
Yeah, dude, like. And he couldn't get. People don't. Like, you probably know this. You couldn't get a clearance for a long time. Like, you couldn't get a clear. Because he does drugs.
Destiny
I feel like the cringiest thing I ever had somebody point out to me. You know that jump he used to do all the time, right, when he would jump on stage?
Myron
Oh, yeah. With. Yeah. And his belly hangs out. And you know why.
Destiny
Do you know why he does that jump?
Myron
Why?
Destiny
He's making a X. Oh, my God. And if you go and look at picture after picture, I'm like, oh, how.
Myron
Do you know that?
Destiny
Somebody emailed me. Like, bro, look at, like, there's like 10 pictures. He's trying to make the X when he jumps, and I'm like, oh, fuck. That's why he looks so fudgeing goofy. But his kid, that one with the weird name, he calls him X. That was the first letter. But he bought that X domain in, like, 97. And he renamed Twitter X and space X. And he's like a retard. He's like an actual.
Myron
Yeah, just. Just one of these, like, people that, like, thinks they're God, dude. Like, you know what I mean?
Destiny
I was gonna talk to Joe Rogan on more gamers, and he's like, yeah, pro gamers should. Like, everybody that does surgery should learn how to play pro games because they have a. He said they have a 20 millisecond reaction time. And it's like, reaction time for humans is like. I think 120 is the theoretical max, because that's how long it takes for the ion channels to trip. Like, 10, 20 milliseconds. Like, like to even say that you've never played a game in your Life because it's impossible to react to anything.
Myron
Yeah, he's just so bad, he'll talk about things that he doesn't know about in an authoritative, authoritative manner. And then anyone that actually knows what the they're talking about, like what the hell is this guy talking about? But it's so nuanced that only a small group of people will know about it to call him out on it. And then if you do call them out on, you're like, oh, shut the up.
Destiny
But then that's awesome because he jumped into so many different topics when he was talking about Twitter. He's like, yeah, we, some guy, some, an actual software dev hopped on. He was like, we need to redo the whole Twitter stack. And I was like, what do you mean when you say it? He's like, well we need to, we need to redo all of it. And guy's like, what part of it don't you like? And he's like, well, you know the whole thing. And he's like, walk me through it, top to bottom, Elon. And he's like, get this out of the car. No clue what he's talking about.
Myron
I don't, I don't know why he keeps like having him on. Like he's just. Yeah, but yeah, he's, he's a fraud. Dude like Greg Reese like did a whole thing on him, like exposing like, like everything that he did is like other people did the work and just comes in and takes credit for it.
Destiny
Have you seen the videos of some people in like these self driving cars where they like stop in the middle of the intersection? It's like, oh, I guess we have to get out now because of the, they, they, I think it was in Austin they started trying the Tesla self driving.
Myron
Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, everything is, is, is cooked. But I like again, as critical as I am of him, I know why I, he has a right to be pissed off with the whole Trump thing, like with the big beautiful bill because like he put all this time and money into doge, didn't get paid for it, lost hundreds of billions of dollars in net worth and boom. Like nothing to show for it. Yeah, literally nothing to show for it. Investors all pissed off, off. You got to go back to work and work a full work week. Like, yeah, cooked.
Destiny
I know you mentioned video games. You guys disagree strongly on video games. Last time you came on the show you said you got to make 100k a year to start playing video games as a man.
Myron
Yeah, I, I, I don't think a guy should even. Yeah. Bother with playing video games unless you're making six figures a year. Because, like, you. You, like, you're not making six figures a year and you're over that tell you have too much free time. You need to make at least six figures before you play any video games.
Destiny
Do you agree with that? No, I think you should. Like, life has to be a balance. Some people are designed to grind. Grind. I remember the first time I went to the Fresh and Fit Studio. This autistic research. He's walking around, like, every camera, adjusting everything. And I'm like, he's got, like. He's got, like, the grind. Like, this guy will stay up, like, 16 hours a day learning whatever he needs to learn. But for a lot of people, you need, like, a little bit of free time. The problem with gaming is gaming is just. It's a thing that's easy to overindulge in. And, like, if you are, like, if you're playing, you know, like eight hours a day and you're doing whatever.
Myron
And that's. And that's the problem because it's a slippery slope, dude. Like. Like, they don't have the discipline to go out work. So, like, do you think they had the discipline? Like, oh, you know, I've been playing for, like, 20 hours. Let me, like, get up and do something. It's like, no, make the money first, learn the discipline there. Then, like, you go to play video games. Yeah, I. I mean, I think a bit. Well, going. This will actually add to your argument here. Like, the reason why so many guys, like, struggle with women is because they're losers. Like, let's be honest here. Like, they're not achieving what they need to achieve. And, you know, again, though, I'm critical of feminism and women being hoes and everything else like that. You know, a big part of it is like, well, I got to make my own money because a lot of guys are fucking losers. So that's why. Because dudes are lazy.
Destiny
Yeah. So it's hard nowadays. Like, we don't talk about it as much, but when it comes to technology, like, the issue today is, like, you are competing, like this show everything else. You are competing with everything else in the world at all points in time because of the phone. Right. Everything you do, you have to be able to capture somebody's attention away from a game, from a phone, from whatever else. And that's. It's hard without. You have to discipline yourself at an early age to not be sucked into that. Because video games are designed It's. It's like gambling, almost like it's optimally designed to.
Myron
And they're worse. They're way worse.
Destiny
Like. Like a Call of Duty game. And it's like, I just got 47 experience towards this gun, and I got 27 battle points towards my pass, and I got 48 things through here, and I got to queue up to the next game. And yeah, it's like, yeah, I'm playing Marvel versus Rivals.
Myron
Like, you know, I can see why people get addicted to it or whatever.
Destiny
Yeah.
Myron
But I always play it, like, after I'm done streaming and everything, and I'll. I'm like, I'll play it on stream. So it's like, makes sense. It's like I pull like, these set up, like, little things here to make sure I don't, like, fuck myself up.
Destiny
You guys monetize it when you play video games?
Myron
Yeah, I do it. Yeah. Like, I'm going to play.
Destiny
Like, I feel. I view games are kind like drugs, I think, like, I think drugs are, like, good. Like, it's like a recreational, like, enhancement thing. But if it becomes, like, habitual, it's not good. Like, I don't think there's anything bad about it. If you want to smoke weed on the weekend or if you're hanging out with friends or whatever, that's one thing. But if you're doing something every single day and it's like part of your routine, I can get really scary, I think.
Myron
So that's. Let me ask you this. What are your views on, like, feminism now?
Destiny
Probably the same as they were before, except I hate women a little bit more now. So. You will. When I hook up with a chick, I'd be like, do you vote Trump or would you agree that women second most things then? Like, the women suck at most things? I probably would, but I don't say men suck at most things. So, you know.
Myron
Okay, well, I think women suck at most things. It's. Give you credit. All the girls that try to do what you do, they suck at what they suck.
Destiny
When I hang out with progressive women, usually they like the fact that I'm more aggressive or masculine coded or whatever. My demeanor when I hang out with conservative women, though, they're like, I like somebody who's not like a loser. Because, like, conservative guys will say, like, all these women are sluts and hoes and. But it's like, if you're a conservative woman and you walk into area and you're like, okay, well, where are all these, like, good conservative men who are working Hard saving themselves, like doing all this other shit. You can't find them either. So like everybody's. We all deserve each other.
Myron
Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, well, it's a fine because a lot of guys, like, you know, subscribe to the whole, you know, feminist ideology, egalitarianism, whatever. So I think that's a big problem for women because on one end they want to be strong and independent and be their own woman. But at the same time it's like, well, I want a guy that's going to have conservative values. And like, unfortunately, the two are difficult to mesh together because like a guy that's conservative, that's more traditional. Traditional. Typically is going to want a girl that's more, you know, independent and, you know, believing in feminism.
Destiny
Orthodox APAC people buy out the whole government. They can push us towards a more traditional lifestyle.
Myron
Well, they won't accept any of us. We're all going to them. Like they're. They're gonna. They're gonna be like, we. We gotta end them all. So it is.
Destiny
Could you be with a liberal and Destiny, can you be with a conservative.
Myron
Dating wise long, like a real relationship.
Destiny
Or just real relationship?
Myron
No.
Destiny
It's a deal breaker for you.
Myron
I wouldn't be able to because, like, she would think she's equal to me and I have to remind her all the time that she's inferior.
Destiny
It really depends on like, what Destiny's wordpro.
Myron
A lot of women though, this is like. You don't understand how excited I am.
Destiny
It really depends on, like, I think on where the disagreements are. Like, I think there are some things that you can get over and there are some things that you probably can't. Like if you're like. If you've got somebody who's genuinely like, like pro. Massively pro trans with somebody who's like massively, like super racist or something. I don't know. Like, these people are probably not going to get along meaningfully. And then it depends on how far you go in the relationship too. Like, I could be with somebody probably who's like Christian or religious, but like, if we would have kids, that would get a lot harder because it's like, like how. Yeah, so I don't know. It depends. I don't think you need. If you need 100% ideological alignment with your partner, I think that's a problem. You should be able to have some disagreements, but it's going to have to be certain types of disagreements. Like some are irreconcilable and others are, you know.
Myron
Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that. I mean, like, again, small, small discriminants here and there, but yeah, I think in general, you know, the man's worldview has to prevail over the woman's worldview. And I. Or, or if she, let's say she doesn't have those worldviews when you guys first meet, at some point she's got to be amenable to change her mind. Because I think if the woman's worldview dominates the relationship, you're cooked. That's what I think. I think you disagree with that.
Destiny
I don't think there's going to be a meet in the middle, but I.
Myron
Mean, you think meeting in the middle is the way to go.
Destiny
Probably, yeah.
Myron
So my only problem with like, meeting in the middle, maybe it's because I'm a raging misogist. I don't know. I think women are inferior to men. So I, I don't think like. And when I say this, I mean it like from a relationship paradigm. Like, not from a human rights perspective, but like, from a relationship paradigm. Like, I look at it like if she's the authority and she's the one leading the relationship, it's just inevitably going to lead to problems. Whereas, like, if it's your frame, like, it's more natural for it to follow you. Does that make sense? So, like, versus, Versus.
Destiny
I mean, it depends on. Real quick, when are we supposed to be out here? We got six minutes. Okay.
Myron
Oh, shit. Okay.
Destiny
Yeah. When it comes to, like, this might.
Myron
Be opening up a can of worms, then.
Destiny
Yeah, it has to be grounded out in examples. Like, I don't agree with that, like, leading the relationship thing because I think that different people lead in areas depending on where they, where they excel at. So for instance, like, like a man might be leading in terms of, like, you know, he works a certain job and so he's going to dictate the family schedule, maybe even like, where you live to some extent, if he's got to move for work. But, like, I seriously doubt the man is going to be like, telling the woman, this is the grocery list. You need to buy these things for the household. You need to do this. Or, like, you have to make sure they go to school and all that. Like, the woman will be like a leader, like, in areas where you butt head heads. I would be surprised if a relationship survives very long if there's like a constant. Like, one person wants this and the other person, like, doing this.
Myron
Let me clarify because, yes, you're correct. My position is anything significant that needs to Be done. The man needs to be the main decision maker. And then, like, I see what you're saying, like, delegate authority. She does this, she does that, blah, blah, blah. But at the end of the day, like, she's operating, like, when she's grocery shopping, I'm buying the food that my husband likes and the kids, like, I'm buying what, you know, what he likes.
Destiny
Likes.
Myron
So though she is the one making.
Destiny
I'm earning the money that my family likes to spend.
Myron
You know, I mean, that's, that's your duty as the man is to support the family. But, like, my, my thing is I, I think the, the. The general frame of the relationship has to be controlled by the man.
Destiny
I'm curious, like, what is like, one. Like, give me an example of like, a big disagreement issue on that. Because for a lot of these, I would view these as being basically relationship enders if you have a significant disagreement here.
Myron
Okay, so like a rel. When you say that, you mean as in, like, what would. Like, if we. If I disagreed on this, I wouldn't with her at all.
Destiny
What? No, no. Like, if a man and a woman. Woman, where the woman has to follow the man's lead on something they disagree on. Like, what would be an example issue like that where they. It's both in their domain where they both have a strong opinion on it, but the woman eventually has to acquiesce to the man. Like, what would an example topic be for that?
Myron
Oh, yeah, sure. On politics.
Destiny
Like, like how she votes or like, well, women.
Myron
I don't think women should. But that was actually on the list. I don't think women should vote. I don't. I know you probably disagree with that.
Destiny
Probably.
Myron
I think we should repeal the 19th amendment. But. And I could give my position with why. But, like, for example, if she, like, doesn't align with you politically or ideologically, like, on certain cultural things, like, that's a deal breaker. Like if she, you know, like, if she's like a raging Democrat. Right. And you're a conservative, like, that's probably going to create problems for you in the future.
Destiny
These are probably deal breakers today, period.
Myron
Yeah, of course, of course. You know, like, she's got to be.
Destiny
On the issue where it's like, the woman strongly believes one thing and the man strongly believes another. Like, let's say that, like, you've got family in Arkansas and family in Nebraska and you guys live in Iowa, and it's like, okay, okay, 50. 50. We need to figure out where we want to move. And one side Just like we're going here or it's over. Like, I don't think there's ever a world where it's like the one's like, okay, yeah, we'll go live with your family. I agree with that. 100.
Myron
Like, yeah, I would think the man needs to make the decision there. But. But the thing is, is that when he picks words move 9 out of 10 times, it's going to be because of where he works. Right. So I guess for the betterment of the.
Destiny
So that's what I'm trying to think of. Like when you say the woman follows the man, like, on what issue? Like, what is like a thing they could have a disagreement on where.
Myron
Where she wouldn't follow him.
Destiny
Where she has to follow him where she has to. Because it feels like everything that you're following the man on, the husband's gonna be following the woman on like on the things that she's doing and then she's following him on the things that he's doing. Like, where are these dis. Disagreements? Does that make sense, what I'm saying?
Myron
I'm a little confused by it.
Destiny
When you say the woman has to follow the man, the implication is that both of them might have an opinion on the same thing, but the woman has to acquiesce to the man's opinion on it. So I'm asking, like, what topic could that ever be?
Myron
Well, then she's also following because she has the same worldview too.
Destiny
Okay. Like it's not like in the same path then you're not really.
Myron
Yeah, like. Like she, she agrees with the worldview, which is why it's so much easier for her to follow. But let's say there is a. To answer your question. Question, let's say there's discrepancy in worldview. At the end of the day, even if she doesn't like it, she's got to follow him. Is my. My position.
Destiny
Sure. Example. Like what worldview? Like what topic, subject, thing?
Myron
It could be. It could be. Argue. Okay, let's say they both have a job, right? Like my job is here, your job is here. We gotta move though, because I make more money here. She needs to follow the man even though and be willing to sacrifice her career for him.
Destiny
I would agree with what you say there, but there was an important added thing that you put there, which is because he makes more money. Money. So like, do you think that. That the same thing would fall. Let's say a Guy's working, he's 40, 50k a year and she's doing some nice HR job. She's making 120 a year. And the guy's like, I've got an opportunity to make 60, 000 a year. We gotta move. Does the women be like, yeah, well.
Myron
This is where I come in, where.
Destiny
I say women shouldn't have more money than.
Myron
Yeah, you need to make more money than your girl. So, like, that would even happen in my worldview, because it's like, you need to make enough money. My position is you need to make so much goddamn money where she works off of wanting to do it. And it's a job where it's from home, so it's elective. I don't think women should be in the work workplace when she's with you from a position where she has to. It needs to be elective. And I think whenever a woman makes more money than her man, it just creates problems.
Destiny
Okay. This whole. Obviously.
Myron
Yeah, that is a whole. I mean, we could do a part two on that if you want. We could do a. We could. We could do a feminism or relationship debate if you want.
Destiny
Well, have fun with your. Have fun with your anti Trump tour and have fun on the streets of Miami.
Myron
Absolutely, man. Destiny, it's always good talking to you, man.
Destiny
Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it.
Digital Social Hour Episode Summary: Destiny vs. Myron Gaines — EXPLOSIVE Debate on Israel-Palestine | DSH #1447
Release Date: July 14, 2025
Hosts: Sean Kelly
Guests: Destiny and Myron Gaines
Duration: Approximately 77 minutes
In episode #1447 of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly moderates a heated and unfiltered debate between Destiny and Myron Gaines focusing on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The conversation delves deeply into U.S. foreign policy, Middle Eastern geopolitics, immigration, and domestic political dynamics, providing listeners with a raw and candid exchange of contrasting viewpoints.
Myron Gaines' Stance: Ending U.S. Aid to Israel
Myron takes a firm stance against continuing U.S. foreign aid to Israel. He argues that supporting Israel financially has led to greater instability in the Middle East and that cessating this aid could mitigate ongoing conflicts.
"[00:52] Myron: I think we should stop all aid to Israel, the United States. My position is I don't think we should be giving them aid. And there's a multitude of reasons for that."
Destiny's Perspective: Maintaining U.S. Influence in the Middle East
Contrastingly, Destiny emphasizes the strategic importance of maintaining U.S. influence in the Middle East through its alliance with Israel. She highlights the region's significance for oil shipments, trade routes like the Suez Canal, and the balance of power against adversaries such as Russia and China.
"[01:36] Destiny: Having a lot of influence in that region is important, and if we leave, then we're kind of just giving it up to somebody else."
Suez Canal Crisis and Its Aftermath
The duo discusses the historical Suez Canal Crisis, emphasizing how U.S. intervention prevented Israel from consolidating uncontested regional dominance. This event is cited as a pivotal moment that shaped subsequent U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
"[04:19] Destiny: They got ran out. The US Told them, like, hey, you guys are."
Nuclear Arms Race in the Middle East
Both Destiny and Myron agree that the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the region, particularly concerning Iran, poses significant threats. They critique the U.S. decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal under the Trump administration, labeling it a critical foreign policy mistake that has exacerbated tensions.
"[05:20] Myron: ...nuclear weapons are deterrent. I think they create quite a bit of peace."
"[06:27] Destiny: And I definitely agree with that. Trump did pull out of it. It was really bad."
Myron's Criticism of U.S. Support for Israel
Myron contends that U.S. financial and military support for Israel has inadvertently strengthened Israel's regional adversaries and fueled ongoing conflicts. He suggests that halting aid could reduce anti-American sentiments and terrorist activities targeting the U.S. and its allies.
"[08:17] Myron: I grew up Muslim and I even say all the time that Islam isn't compatible with the first world country of world America."
Destiny's Counterargument on Regional Stability
Destiny argues that U.S. backing of Israel has been instrumental in maintaining regional stability by keeping adversarial factions like Iran in check. She warns that withdrawing support could lead to increased influence from rival powers such as Russia and China, further destabilizing the region.
"[02:31] Destiny: I see where people are coming from... the possibility of, like, a Russia or China coming in and then playing nice with them."
Myron's Support for Strict Immigration Enforcement
Myron advocates for robust immigration enforcement, including deportations and the strengthening of ICE operations. He believes that a secure border and effective immigration policies are essential for national security and economic stability.
"[47:55] Myron: ...assembling stuff behind enemy lines, paying i'm just saying it wasn't like this is like a five million dollar missile every time."
Destiny's Call for Comprehensive Immigration Reform and Amnesty
Destiny counters by highlighting the humanitarian and economic challenges posed by stringent immigration policies. She proposes a balanced approach that includes a pathway to amnesty for undocumented immigrants who have established lives in the U.S., coupled with enhanced penalties for violations to deter illegal entry.
"[58:44] Destiny: ...amnesty is the only realistic way to solve the illegal immigration problem."
Views on Social Media and Influencers
The conversation shifts to figures like Elon Musk and the impact of social media on modern discourse. Destiny criticizes influencers for fostering toxic online environments, while Myron discusses the complexities of declassifying sensitive information related to high-profile individuals.
"[27:45] Destiny: I feel like Elon Musk was controlled by Israel?... Though, no, no, so what I will say is that."
Perspectives on Feminism and Relationships
Destiny and Myron explore their conflicting views on feminism, traditional gender roles, and relationships. Myron expresses misogynistic sentiments, advocating for male dominance in decision-making within relationships, whereas Destiny emphasizes mutual respect and shared leadership.
"[87:33] Myron: Let me clarify because, yes, you're correct. My position is anything significant that needs to Be done. The man needs to be the main decision maker."
"[84:27] Myron: But I always play it, like, after I'm done streaming and everything, and I'll. I'm like, I'll play it on stream."
As the debate progresses, both Destiny and Myron acknowledge areas of agreement, particularly regarding the detrimental effects of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. However, significant disagreements persist over the U.S. role in the Middle East, immigration policies, and cultural issues domestically.
The conversation concludes with mutual frustrations over current political climates, policy failures, and the complexities of navigating international and domestic challenges. Both participants express a desire for more coherent and effective leadership to address these multifaceted issues.
"[72:14] Destiny: The pardon with prejudice only came because that's the only thing the judge would approve because he's like, we're not going to do this, you know. You know, without prejudice. You can pursue it again when the election."
"[84:04] Destiny: Yeah, but I mean, like, the issue I have, I guess sometimes that, like, I can see a bunch of stuff that, like, I understand. Like, there's good explanations for it. I'm like, is there anything that's happening where it's like, like, I can't explain that without some kind of, like, foreign push."
Myron on Ending Aid to Israel:
"[00:52] Myron: I think we should stop all aid to Israel, the United States. My position is I don't think we should be giving them aid."
Destiny on Strategic Importance:
"[01:36] Destiny: Having a lot of influence in that region is important, and if we leave, then we're kind of just giving it up to somebody else."
Myron on Nuclear Deterrence:
"[05:20] Myron: ...nuclear weapons are deterrent. I think they create quite a bit of peace."
Destiny on Iran's Nuclear Threat:
"[17:52] Destiny: ...any world where they don't have a Nuclear weapon is beneficial to the stability of the region."
Myron Critiquing Trump’s Foreign Policy:
"[06:30] Myron: And I will criticize when he makes mistakes. And I think that's one of the biggest mistakes he made foreign policy wise."
Destiny on Immigration Policy Failures:
"[47:55] Destiny: Like, flagn. Like, he leaves an immigrant, like, immigration fucking unhinged."
