War Against China Is For MONEY Admits U.S. Congressman!

GOP Congressman Michael McCaul from Texas recently revealed to NBC News host Chuck Todd that the U.S. “defense” of Taiwan is all about money, specifically concerns about the semiconductor industry. When pressed if this was essentially a war for semiconductors like Iraq had been a war for oil, McCaul realizes his error and begins vomiting up boilerplate defenses of militarism with words like “freedom” and “democracy.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the hilarious interaction and the Congressman’s attempt to recover from his “gaffe.”

Most people outside the west cringed everytime US politicians mentioned 'democracy and freedom '

[jimohara]

That ‘democracy and freedom’ line was a killer.

[ricosauve]

I almost spit out my soda when I heard freedom and democracy 😂😂😂

[cdrone]

Those are the words every swamp creature says, democracy and freedom every time.

[isaacopiyo]

Every time I hear a politician utter those two words, "democracy and freedom" by any U.S. politician, I know without a doubt that the U.S. is about to "bend over" and shaft some country somewhere.

President Dwight D Eisenhower's Farewell Speech warned us about these "Forever Wars - MIC" and here we are doing exactly what he warned against 🤔

[mr.monitor.]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to build chip manufacturing facilities than have a war thousands of miles away?

[megland]

Thanks for all of your hard work, Jimmy!

[ladyjustice]

All the corrupt politicians should hold speeches and press out side. The plants and farms can use the fertilizer.

[brendanmccarthy]

I remember when a Valley in California used Silicon to make microchips. Now that same valley steals money through banks.

[mazamatov]

I think we should be happy that our elected leaders are telling the truth; why be a deceitful, haughty hypocrite when you can be an overtly unscrupulous predator?

[GarethNicholson]

Waiting for Americans to have a "Are we the baddies?" moment.

[evilchaperone]

[jeffandkarenhay]

These psychopaths aren't the least bit self conscious about being sadistic fiends.

[damianlibby]

All wars are banker's wars
"War is a racket" great 1930's book with insight of corporate control.

[tadroid]

"War is a racket"

[lencholechuga]

Warmonger blew up the Nord stream 1 n 2 for freedom and Democracy for the Ocean

[denisomahoney]

Bloody criminals, these political elite need to be charged and put in prison...😡😡😡😡

[aktuellekamera]

A German satirist once said that we live in a time when most of the truth is only spread by satirists. You are a good example, keep up the good work Jimmy!
