0:00.0 | Well I never thought I'd be doing this on my show in America First, especially dedicating the whole hour of the deep dive one-on-one to this question. |
0:08.0 | When I taught counter-terrorism in irregular warfare, in addition to all the jihadis and the Marxists, the Red Army faction, |
0:17.0 | the Bard of Meinhof, Al-Qaeda, I also use the Unabomber as a case study of how not to try and track down somebody |
0:28.0 | and how not to publish their manifesto and our regular guest has just published a fascinating video and the title |
0:36.3 | isn't click-baiti at all because he does answer the question was the Unabomber right and we're going to dissect it with our audience here on America First with our dear friend Rudyard Lynch of the what if altest YouTubeiad, welcome back to America First. |
0:55.0 | Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure as always. |

2:11.2 | That's why he went to live in a forest in a shack in the middle of |
2:15.1 | nowhere. But your analysis is far deeper with regards to the at least the |
2:21.2 | diagnosis he had of modern society, not the correct response by sending out |
