My Twitter: / drift0r
I often get asked what I would do if I were president, so I decided to make a video about it. The president is not a king or dictator and has limited powers. What most people really mean when they ask this question is "What would you do if you could change anything." So, we'll just pretend I am super-president. Part 2 is about military reform, budgeting, forming a new branch, VA, Veteran benefits, US Highway infrastructure, net neutrality, congressional term limits, campaign finance reform, WMDs, the War on Drugs, Marijuana, vacation time, paternity leave, and police brutality. The gameplay is some fun Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare matches.

Actually reverse Ozzy and Bumi because Bumi is deaf :)
Shrek Salad Because everything else makes so much sense
Stathis G Yes, yes it does
Tmartn for lobbyist (snicker snicker snicker)
Online Alias Hehehehe I see what you did there
We can call the "Fixers" the Peacemakers. Or RepOPs(Repair Operatives).
I like that. RepOPs.
I'd vote for you seriously. Why don't you run because you clearly don't have any biases that are attached to some bs political party? I'll be able to vote in 2016 and I sure as hell don't trust these politicians haha. Write in for Drift0r
We'll need to start a Kickstarter hoping to get $2 billion in order to fund Drift0r's campaign, then.
While I like hearing Drift0r's opinions on these issues, being President isn't being king. Presidents honestly don't have a lot of a power. Most of it lies in the Congress. So while we can say we wish Drift0r would be President all day... even if he did there wouldn't be much he could do. :( Sorry to be a party pooper, it just seems to be a *very* common misconception among Americans.
QU67 rt
DubDub He has to be at least 35 years old in order to be president. It's part of the rules that we established for presidents.
***** that's true but we can always do some change.org petition calling for his presidency that'd be hilarious if it got a following lol!
QU67 I think that with the power of the internet there wouldn't need to be much money invested in the campaigning but rather the travel expenses for him to go to places to interview and speak to people. I'm going to start a change.org petition let's see what can happen lolol
Drift you would actually make a good president and I also like the idea of police wearing cameras or at least audio recorders
I think he would be a better president than most presidents we have had
Definitely better than most and among the best of all his plans pan out.
Yeah, he doesn't seem to far in one direction, politically of course.
Gabriel this is what everyone would say but they dont fulfill it...
Nate Waters
thats because all we have are democrats and rebublicans all the other parties are so littles they dont compete we need more political parties
You need to discontinue the penny. It's completely worthless. Every transaction should end in a 5 or 0
Canada has already implemented this. It costs more to make than the actual value :)
Canada FTW
If only we could make the american dollar worth more, then pennys would once again be used.
Unfortunate but true fact: US dollar value is *heavily* effected by the oil market (its the currency used in oil trading) but with China fucking that up it screws with the dollar
***** CGP Grey video?
Also would use a lot of money for PTSD awareness, breaks my heart to see vets troubled from their service
Lorenzo Iannarilli not to sound cold, but we have a volunteer military. Those brave men know what they are getting into.
John Yes that is true. But they volunteer because other people don't have the balls to do so. So whatever help we can give vets should be done no questions asked. Also, technically speaking there is still the possibility of a draft happening. If anything were to go to hell (worse than what our country is right now)then we would have to go into the draft. That is what the selective service is for. Even though I signed up for the selective service because I am an only child I would not be allowed to serve. But I would make my parents sign a waver to serve which is also a possibility. Any way, just because they know what they are getting into doesn't mean they should not get help for what they go through after their service. It is their service that allow you to make an ignorant comment like that.
I'm not talking about ptsd treatment. Vets deserve excellent treatment regarding TBI and ptsd. I'm saying that those guys know what they're signing up, I hate when people say "send them to their deaths". No, alright. Our military is the most professional and well trained in the world. They know how to do their jobs and will most certainly hold their own. Its not like we just kick them out of plane and say "alright, see ya. survive.
I agree 100% with the drug issues. I've seen murderers walk free and pot dealers get life in prison. Adults should be allowed to do whatever recreational drugs they want. If alcohol and nicotine (not to mention thousands of abused prescription drugs) are legal, why isn't weed?
***** I believe the whole "marijuana is a gateway drug" idea to be a myth (possibly spread by the DARE program). Caffeine is a very popular stimulant drug. That doesn't necessarily mean that anyone who drinks 2 cups of coffee every day is going to switch to cocaine when coffee and soda aren't enough.
***** Your shitty grammar and spelling make me doubt you are even in college.
TactiGrill i say get rid of it all
I would vote for you lol, even though I live in England
Ncaf
gains citizenship for this
So I'm officially starting a cult, with Driftor as our overlord. Anyone in?
Why not +II-_ZiggZagg_-II
The nascar suit idea is completely awesome and unique! That thought never would've popped into my brain and I'm glad you brought that up! Totally awesome :D
Driftor thanks for making this video, I used this Idea for an Essay & I got an A+
EvnHappyTK good for you
I use to be completely on board with legalizing Marijuana. However, after talking with some former users who were against it, I'd wait another 25-50 years and do as much research as we have on cigarettes before I'd give it the okay. Remember 60 some years ago Cigarettes were considered safe and had no restrictions.
Yes and I am sure it is fair to tell prisoners facing minor possession crimes (there's 40,000 of them with no other crimes committed) to just wait another 25-50 years before we make any changes. Enough research has been done to prove that you cannot overdose on marijuana. So why are we jailing them for participating in something safer than alcohol? People have been smoking marijuana since the Chinese dynasties and there's been no record of an over dose, what more long term research would you like? Cigarettes are legal which ARE proven to cause lung cancer, so even if weed could cause lung cancer, why should that stop its legalization while many other legal substances are far more dangerous?
This is very much how I feel about it. I think I even saw some stuff that showed tobacco was given for medicinal purposes not all that terribly long ago. I just don't agree with making more mind altering things legal. There are enough health and safety issues with what is legal now without adding more things to it. That is outside of the fact that I've seen drugs destroy family members, and not because they got caught with them but because of what the drugs themselves did.
Mr Peace
Decriminalizing it to the point that it's basically a slap on the wrist I think is the way to go in the near future. It's much easier to keep it illegal and change penalties than to legalize it and then re-illegalize it if there's some lasting terrible effects we discover.
Mr Peace
Also who said anything about overdosing? You can't overdose on cigarettes. They're still like the worst thing that's legal to consume in that quantity. I think cigarettes should be banned too but that'll never happen.
First of all, there has been a lot of research done on pot. Of course one can always do more, but we can't continue a terribly damaging policy for decades or centuries until we have 100% confirmed every single detail.
Anyway pot maybe harmless or a little harmful or even fairly harmful. But the substance is certainly not as harmful as spending billions on locking people up, destroying their professional and social lives and thus forcing them into a life of crime, as well as messing up their health even more (by only making unclean drugs available) and, thus, raising medical costs for the whole society.
War on Drugs is the largest "war" failure the US has ever undertaken, yes including Vietnam. The United States is the worlds leading jailer with prison population higher than Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, and is in fact has the largest prison population in the history of human civilization. We lead in both total population and in prisoners per 100,000 citizens statistics. The amount of people that are put away for ridiculous amounts of time for drug possession is off the scales. One half of the prisoners in jail that serve over 1 year are for drug possession. We spend more on the prison populations per inmate in the US than on educational system per student IN EVERY STATE across the board. It is ridiculous how many people are in our prisons because of petty "crimes" like owning marijuana. The War on Drugs puts away so many impoverished minorities that it is not even funny. Our justice is broken that it takes 100 times as much crack cocaine as powder cocaine to receive the same sentence. Judges on powder cocaine cases are forced to levy the minimum sentences on these people which are at least 5 or 10 years for a tiny tiny amount of powder cocaine because they are mandatory minimums. War on Drugs was a humongous failure.
Preach, my friend, you are spreading truth, and good. Let no one discourage you
So very true. It wasn't a war on drugs; it didn't take drugs off the street. I was war on drug users, minorities, etc. They ruined peoples lives in an effort to help them. It's complete bullshit, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this
Here's an idea. Just don't do drugs. Easy, free solution.
While I agree with everything you've said, you implied that we lost Vietnam, which is not true.
Some additional information (what you said is all true):
-The US jails significantly more people per capita than North Korea, Iran or China.
-The US prison population is actually higher than both Chinas and Indias, even though those countries have about 4 times more people in total and China is a dictatorship.
-The US incarcerates around 4900 black males per 100'000. Apartheid South Africa jailed around 800-900 at their worst times.
-Whites are actually a little more likely to use and sell drugs than any other race. Yet Blacks and Latinos get locked up for it like 500% more often or so.
Drift0r please bring back these commentaries. You're a very smart guy and I love listening to this kind of stuff. Some people prefer to listen to the radio or something on their lunch breaks. I personally prefer listening to your commentaries
The Navy has the Sea bee's and the Army Corp of engineer are both equipped to fix stuff.
Being deployed I can tell you that when the Corp of Engineer would build a dam or fix a road, many times the Iraqi government or local militia groups would come behind and tear it up. Then try to fix it themselves to make it look like they were helping. But it was never done to the same standards.
Tru but they are both very small scale in comparison to what HIS vision is.
Agreed, I say just expand them rather than create a new branch. There are so many law enforcement and intelligence agencies now. We really need to reduce the number of agencies rather than creating more. When I retired from the Army we got a catalog of job agencies to help us. There were well over 100 places to go for job help. Streamlining this would make it much better.
yea most people just dont know about seabees etc. It just goes to show the lack of forethought in our current government. Especially when it comes to money. We overpay for so much stuff. Its obviously some inside deals being made.
One of the big problems is politicians pass stuff because it sounds good. Who is going to vote no on a single mother work program. The answer is no one. Well we already have 30.
Drift that was really great, i watched both videos and have concurred with all your points made. You should do more of these sort of conversational videos, they're great.
Drift, bad, bad countries are becoming advanced in the weapons of mass destruction department. Let's worry less about what WE do with our big guns and worry more about what other countries are doing with theirs.
we've been doing that for the past 14+ years i think we can take a break on that
Sorry to burst your bubble but what applies to those bad, bad countries should also be valid for the USA. Not everyone wants the be powerless to the "Almighty America"
Dismantling nuclear weapons and making treaties are all fine and dandy but we will NEVER get rid of all of our nuclear weapons. It's like saying guns kill people. Let's destroy all guns. It would never happen because there are too many threats in the world.
Your comment just raped by eyes.
Dude, I actually like the idea of a military branch where they give compensation to defeated countries, Driftor epic as always
I love the idea of the Nascar Suit for Senators. :D That would be fucking hilarious.
If they receive enough money, can they be required to get face tattoos of their sponsors as well?
If I remember right, that concept is taken almost verbatim from some comedian's material. Not saying he did it on purpose, but I'm pretty sure it did come from a comedian.
MrMalditor Then I must find that comedian and give them credit. It's still a great idea, nonetheless. :D
Yes, I remember laughing about it and thinking that it was a pretty good idea.
You know what... I'd vote for you after watching this. You seem really genuine.
The fixers are an awesome idea. Also this branch should include a police force. Because marines etc. are trained for combat but today policing is pretty much their main job. So include a unit that looks more like civilian police in the US with normal cars not APCs or tanks, pistols and pepper sprays instead of LMGs and rocket launchers etc. Keep the combat units in the bases as backups whereever possible and use actual police where it's peaceful enough. If their job is policing, they should be dressed and trained for that job.
Also about the drugs I'd legalise or at least decriminalise everything. Our conception of drugs and addiction is actually far off in many cases (i.e. chemically pure heroin does not damage your body and countries like Portugal or my country Switzerland have had great success with providing addicts with clean heroin and support programmes instead of punishment). If you're interested in the topic I recommend you read "Chasing the scream" by Johann Hari. Or just watch one of his interviews on youtube to get the short version.
Btw in Switzerland everyone gets 4 weeks of paid vacation, old and young workers get 5 and in some countries it's even up to 6 weeks for everyone if I remember correctly. So one week is still crazy little ;)
You are a Genius Soff1859
D3M
Haha thanks. Though I'm afraid I wrote too much, so nobody's gonna actually read it ;)
Hopefully more people read your comment
Soff1859 The "Fixers" already exist within the US Military. It's the engineering department. Mainly in the Army branch. This is something that the media and the world tend to ignore and bury to make the US and military forces seem more destructive and almost evil. The US military always treys to rebuild what they destroy. That was the very first thing that they did when they landed on main land of Japan, and why they stayed so long in Europe after the war ended. It is harder for them to do this with the recent wars because they don't have a uniformed enemy to watch for when they are trying to rebuild things such as roads. Sense modern day terrorists tend to favor road side bombs, it would be easy for them to come in during off work hours and plant an explosive in those areas.
As for the Policing. That is what MP's (Military Police) are for. They dress different from regular soldiers so they stand out and can be seen. They are also trained from Basic training to act more like police than regular soldiers. The majority of the time they only have a side arm (Pistol) and they have it mostly for show. They only time they have a rifle is if they feel a situation or environment might be too dangerous.
Devon Kirkham I know there are engineers. But that's not exactly the same. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think their main job is to build and maintain infrastructure for the US-military instead of local civilians. Also the fixer branch would send a very different message to the locals. The fixers would be more like an NGO paid for by the government (what a paradox) and less like a military unit. It should be made clear that once the fixers come in it's not war time anymore, but rebuilding time. And it should be made clear that they are not an occupying but a helping force. They should not be wearing combat gear, have distinct camo from the other branches and should only be carrying sidearms, if at all. That would have a large psychological effect on the local population (=potential rebels).
I also know there is a military police. But their main job again is policing US military personnel. They're there to prevent corruption, drug use, war crimes, theft from bases etc. Also the MP is to small anyway. That's why patrols in Afghanistan and Iraq were usually made up of infantry, not MP. The fixer police would be different. It should have a size similar to the infantry, so tens or hundreds of thousands. Their only job would be to police the locals. Their weaponry would depend on the situation. So it doesn't mean they shouldn't be carrying weapons. It means they should be carrying weaponry appropriate to handle ordinary crime and riots, not weapons appropriate to fight a russian tank battalion. So shotguns with rubber rounds, tear gas launchers, pistols, tasers, some assault rifles but no LMGs or bazookas. Again the psychological effect is different. When I see 2 police officers in blue shirts walk towards me I don't feel threatened. But if I saw 10 cops wearing camo and massive flak vests and carrying LMGs and assault rifles I would feel threatened.
Based on the two parts you have posted I think you are exactly what the usa needs, a level headed, fair, down to earth leader who sees the real problems and knows how to fix them. Great stuff
As a french guy, I find it very interresting to have an American point af view on USA's situation. I don't know about this cop camera though. If you don't trust the guy that is supposed to protect you, something is fucked up.
Sadly crooked cops exist. But some people try to take advantage of that and make up false accusations for lawsuits
I live in a safe suburb outside of Austin, the cops are terrible. I think that because they haven't really seen any real problems they overreact to tiny things. so yeah cops things are a huge problem, some are crooked which sucks, but people claim police brutality all the time and cameras can put those cases to rest really quick
No matter where you are in the world, having video recording of police officers in any situation is helpful. Not only does it help with corruption but it saves a ton of time and money. People who get arrested try and get out of it by saying the cop did this or the cop didn't do that. Video evidence of an entire arrest is just an efficient way to save time and money in court proceedings. I'm pretty sure that's the main reason we have cameras on cop cars. So criminals can't claim something happened that actually didn't. There's corrupt cops everywhere, including France. I mean, have you see The Missing? I'm kidding of course but it's a French/English TV show I recently watched that was really good, and had a corrupt French cop.
Karrecod You are a fucking idiot
Karrecod not sure if trolling or just really dumb
This is quickly becoming my favourite series on Driftors channel
*DRIFT0R 4 PREZ RIGHT NOW*
I just got back form KUNA (Kentucky United Nations Assembly) and its basically a "simulation" of the United Nations. Students 6-12th grade come from all over the state and propose real solutions to serious problems (none of them are passed on to the real UN, however). What you said in this and the last video directly relate with other problems all over the world regarding education, drugs, army veterans, etc.
I just wanted to say great job, and I really enjoyed this commentary! Do more like this please!
Hey Drift0r i'm new to your channel, I'm a pretty good player I was wondering how I could get my gameplay used in a video of yours. I think some other new people would want to know also!
I know he is still accepting good gameplay of any of the elite variants that he hasn't done yet, not sure if he has a listing of that anywhere...
livefromhollywood194 Thanks for responding! I would love to have my gameplay used in one of his videos!
Yeah he should show sub gameplay
dawg headshot I think he only uses the gameplay of people who have UA-cam channels which I do, but it seems like he uses only popular channels gameplays :/
PhoenixTheGreat You must have an elgato HD60 .He has a contract with them which states tha he must upload videos captured by their products
Great vid, although the only thing I'd have to disagree with would be making "The Fixers" an separate branch of the military. I would rather have each soldier end their service with being a Fixer for a while so that not only would each soldier learn some new useful skills, but the act would also serve as some type of rehabilitation.
I hope drift0r makes more of these videos because I'd really like to know what he thinks on other political issues
When I first clicked on I thought you'd lost it. You've actually got some really good ideas though. Especially the fixer idea. I would love to do something like that. You should be president!!
Ok Im almost positive now that Drift0r watches Last Week Tonight, a lot of his points are mentioned in LWT
He defiantly watches Last Week Tonight
Just posted to you on GFAQ forums and I agree with everything you said here. I'm a Marine Vet and agree the waste is outrageous. I received full college plus they paid me to go, back in 77-78. If they did away with the waste there would be more than enough for all the top notch aid for veterans.
Hey drift0r on the drugs thing, I think we should legalize every kind of drug. Who is the government to tell a full grown person what to do, as long as it doesn't directly negatively affect someone else
Drugs do have a negative effect on others... ask the family, friends and victims of an addict.
FastJakeDeLuca
If the current approach of prohibition and repression would work, there wouldn't be anyone to ask those questions...
FastJakeDeLuca But most drugs are illegal, how is possible that anyone has obtained an illegal substance? Prohibition costs money to enforce and loses potential money in taxation whilst keeping cartels and drug dealers rich.
Soff1859 Yeah we should totally go back to when you could order heroin out of a sears catalog. Because comatose babies is a good thing. By the way they totally marketed heroin as a way to calm your kids down.
L7057B7 11F19
There is a huge difference between allowing adults to use drugs and supporting giving them to kids. Thats like saying "a your pro gun? I guess you think we should shoot toddlers in the face then".
But yes i wouldn't mind if people could order heroin from a catalogue, as long as it is taxed, the purity is controlled, it's made sure that they're over 18 and driving under the influence is banned.
Btw countries like Portugal and Switzerland have had huge success at driving down the number of addicts and drug related problems (such as crime and health problems) by providing addicts with clean heroin, needles and safe places to inject.
Here in the US my wife got pregnant and actually had to pay for short term disability just to have maternity leave. We did some research and there are quite a few countries where mothers are given 1 year maternity leave with full pay and insurance. People always talk about the american dream, but as an american we have it pretty shitty.
vote Ozzy for president
#Ozyy4prez
I agree with you Driftor Completely about PTSD
LILGAM3R - DAILY GAMING CONTENT Yeah. Also, I actually read somewhere that British troops are 3 times less likely to get PTSD than US troops, so there is obviously something that can be done to help minimise it.
Raise the minimum wage to 12 dollars an hour so people dont have to do 12 hours of work a day with 2-3 jobs to pay for life.
No no no no no! You shouldn't be paid enough to live on a minimum wage job. Minimum wage is jobs that require minimum skills and the pay should be treated as such. Minimum wage jobs are for young teens who have little if any experience working and who need a little gas and spending money to hang with their goofy friends. They are not meant for someone to make a career out of.
You do realize that the "no skill jobs" dont give you enough money barely to buy food, or even have a low end appartment. How about you go back to your mansion you Republican ass rich kid. You wouldnt know struggle in having a living at the beginning if you got kicked in the face by it. 12 dollars an hour isnt even a lot either. Jesus.
Listen burger flipper you need to get a job where you are worth more than minimum wage if you want more money. Veterans and active military men need the money more than your lazy ass. Get educated or get a tough job that's worth more money like construction on or something. To do this you need to be willing to work which is something you obviously lack or you'd quit bitching about minimum wage a get a real job.
Yea ill just walk out and say "Um, can I be a lawyer"
"Yea sure"
You fucktard, you didn't even come back on what I said. You never denied your a republician rich white kid. And plus, im not a burger flipper. Im 13. Yeah, I said it. But I still work for money. Your turn to reveal your age.
I'm 20 and I go to UT to get an education fool. I grew up on a farm and I guarantee I've done more work in 1 summer than you've done in your whole life. When you've busted your ass for something you'll be just like me, getting pissed off when some poor sapp cries about having a minimum wage job making minimum wage. It pisses me off when someone thinks they should make money doing a high schoolers job. Be smart man and stay in school and you won't be worried if they raise minimum wage. I'm no rich man. I've earned what I got and you should do the same.
I like the nascar sponsor suit idea, because I also saw Robin Williams' "weapons of self destruction." :P
let's all start a hashtag on all social sites like twitter, facebook, youtube, etc. #DRIFTOR4PRESIDENT
let's try and make this happen!!! #DRIFTOR4PRESIDENT
Drift0r, you would actually make a good president, you have all the right ideas and I think you could change the world for the better.
If you have a question, the answer is money.
I love how Driftor did what most politicians take 2 years and a national tour to do, but he did it in two youtube videos.
The only thing i dont agree with here. is legalizing pot an dother non addictive drugs. to me, its all worthless. i dont think we need it, its a crutch and i think people would be better off. and yes this is a biased opinion, i simply dont approve of pot and no i am not a nazi with this stuff. do whatever you want. i just think it would be better without.
Alcohol is also a crutch, should that also be illegal?
I used to think that but at the same time the reason some people smoke it is because they think they are cool that they are doing something illegal. If it was legal and not a big deal it would be less popular in kids which could get rid of it later. It's not like legalizing it would increase users drastically
Even if it is bad for people, does it make sense to completely ruin lives for users? Teens who smoke pot get jailed, sometimes felony charges, sent to remedial schools, and have that show up on all job applications. It literally ruins their entire lives. Doesn't make any sense to me. Rehab or civil penalties make more more sense.
Drift0r True
yeah i think absurd amounts of alcohol should be illegal to some degree, or as driftor said in part one the punishment for irresponsible drinking is made more severe. But no of course i wont condemn people to prison for smoking pot. im moreover tired of the pot scene, the general attitude they have, holding themselves in a higher place(no pun intended) i know not everyone is like this, but that has been my experience with pot users and im just sick of it. so id rather it just go away
Drift0r, I have agree with you on every single subject here. And when I say everything, I mean absolutely everything. If one of us runs for office, we should make the other person the vice-president haha. In all seriousness, why don't you start Kickstarter or GoFundMe campaign?All politicians start somewhere. Just look at the founding fathers. Some of them were simple farmers before the Revolution. You are like a modern day founding father. I honestly think that you could do a lot of good for this world and you can. I'm being completely serious. Run for a political office, not the presidency (for now haha), but a local office. Anyway, awesome video man! Keep it up!
While I don't agree with most of your ideas, (no offense) I appreciate that you have the balls to go and tell everyone what your political beliefs are.
Andtherimrocker|King of Live Comms Well, most of your ideas in this video, I agreed with most of your first video
Might I just say that I'm super happy to see someone who states that they disagree in a very mature manner! Thank you for keeping youtube a good place
What do you disagree on? I agree all the points stated in the video accept legalizing drugs .
XgC Divine cutting military spending, new military branch, decreasing the nuclear weapons, limiting congress terms, making 2 complete shut down days for voting, legalizing any drug, not actual punishment for drugs from the second video and loan regulations, and im on the fence with the proposed changes to drinking and driving punishment
Andtherimrocker|King of Live Comms Can I know why you think these things shouldn't be realised?
I actually like these type of videos. They are quite entertaining, even though I can only understand 50% of what Drift0r is saying.
Drifter what do you think of the Right to bear arms ?
I think mandatory background checks are needed. Also you should only be able to buy pistols or hunting rifles, no one needs a shotty or a regular rifle in their house
Really if you ban Ars or shotguns ppl will just get it illegally gun control is pointless
Guns don't kill people people kill people
people kill people with GUNS
Mercury The primary use, sells, and marketing of shotguns is for hunting. They have an universal hunting purpose from foul to big game. It's a much more practical hunting tool than a rifle. Plus, they are a lot safer then a hunting rifle because they don't have nearly the amount of range that a rifle can get. Same thing goes for a semi auto rifle (I'm guessing that is what you mean by regular). The "regular hunting rifle" is a bolt action long barrel firearm. These are a lot more accurate at all ranges and can be more dangerous than any other firearm. The bolt action hunting rifle is the father of modern day sniper rifles and could/is used as one.
I'm guessing you believe in pistols for self/home defense. Which would be the ideal choice, but if you had to use a long gun, a shotgun or semi auto would be a much better choice than your bolt "hunting rifle." Mostly for rate of fire, mobility, and put down power.
The reason why people use firearms to kill each other is because it is the easiest and cleanest way to do so. Obtaining the firearm might be more difficult than any other choice method of murder, but it is the one that requires the least amount of skill to accomplish your goal. Therefore, if you were to take away all firearms, then people will either find another way to commit this crime, or find away to obtain the firearms illegally. Plus it is a lot easier to see someone coming at you when they are wielding a shotgun or semi auto rifle because they are so hard to conceal and have that limited range and accuracy. Compared to a pistol that could be concealed at all times, even when being fired. Or a "hunting rifle" or bolt action rifle that could be used as a sniper rifle and the victim would never see the suspect or firearm.
Order of business
1. Education
2.Drug war
3.foreign aid/budget/military
4. Many smaller but much less significant problems for example, some of the largest ones include veteran aid, police brutality, public services maintenance, physical activity/ healthy food incentives, and perhaps more political education for children who seem to know nothing about how their own government works
BECOME A FUCKING POLITICIAN I LOVE U
This is really interesting, and im looking forward for more. Keep it up Driftor
If the u.s was just more like Canada half of the problems would be fixed
You mean irrelevant to the world?
Yea no
Raffaele M ohh yeah, well we don't stick our nose in other people business 👌
Haha irrelavent to the world nice. Canada is cool though I feel like there is less ignorance than here. In America the 1 percent of idiots stand out because we expose them rather than ignore our problems. Not
Including Obama and our national debt lol
Actually, you do. Don't forget you used to belong to Britain, the king of being nosy. You blindly followed them into every conflict that had nothing to do with you. And is overthrowing a dictator that gassed his own people being nosy?
Run for super president please. This video was one of your best commentaries yet
Is it possible to destroy nuclear weapons?
Yes, denuclearisation - its a long chemical process - but very feasible. Just as easy to take apart as they are to make.
Finding them is what is hard
Deactivation of nuclear weapons and ICBMs can be achieved, but it is a very difficult task to do
How hard can it be to find them the government should know where world exploding bombs be atleast the ones they one
*own
Dude. I'd freaking vote for you. Hell yes. Rock on. You've solved or just about solved all of our main issues right now.
Agree on most except legalising marijuana
Joshua Mitchell Do you want to start a comment war because that is how you do it
Weed kills.
Why not?
Stathis G To be fair, Joshua's not being an asshole about it. He just doesn't agree with marijuana legalization. Fair enough.
Anyone that comes along and starts being an asshole about it is really the person we should put the blame on. It's fine to disagree and have a polite discussion about it, but... who am I kidding? This is UA-cam. Someone's going to be an asshat about this.
Please prove me wrong.
whats marijuana
Driftor please make a 3rd part to this would love to here your opinions on:
•American Bureaucracy
•Prison System
•National Debt
•Social Security
•Retirement
•The Uneven Distribution of Wealth
Thanks so much love these episodes they're really interesting and they reache out to the older audience that you have
Who asked for this
You've never seen a top comment that says Drift0r for president?
A lot of people
I did actually haha.
This is a great series and my most anticipated series on UA-cam as of late
Who asked you to watch this?
The SeaBee's and The Army Corps of Engineers already come in and help build/rebuild. You wouldn't need to create a whole new branch to do something that is already happening.
No offence to Americans, compared to the UK you guys are far behind in laws and how your systems work its pretty badly corrupt.
Don't make an assumption based on a few videos. These are just some of the things he believes need to be fixed/refined. Obviously you won't find any good things here.
PrestonRX I'm glad at least one other person has repeatedly pointed this out. I've said it a few times. These are videos about what he'd change, they're all about the negatives. Of course they're going to look bad. I've enjoyed these two videos but I'm truly shocked how many viewers from other countries are formulating opinions on U.S. based on these videos. I could very easily make videos like these about the U.K., Canada, Australia, etc. and they would not look pretty. Every country has problems, no ones perfect. It really shows that every country could be educating their citizens better. I mean, if you generalize a country based on a Drift0r video (Tyras) then you definitely need some schooling.
And another thing, the military does have non-combat jobs for people. Construction, computers, legal jobs. There's more to the military than just combat troops. One of my good friends is a 12N, which is a horizontal construction engineer. He went to Afghanistan and built roads, buildings, etc.
Hey Driftor, I'm a long time big fan, love your videos and tutorials. These two vids are great and I just wanted to drop a name idea for your new branch of military. Engineering Corps?... Anyways I'm totally on board on your entire platform I would love to be your VP; well thanks for video have another great year.
Drift0r Awesome vids drift, keep it up. I don't even play CoD and I subscribe just for this kind of video. It's great to know that you're helping us all become better citizens of our country by thinking about and talking about these issues. Thanks for being more than just another CoD commentator.
I'm also curious, do you watch John Oliver Tonight?
I love my country :)
-We get mandatory holidays
-Pregnant women gain additional mandatory holidays
-Pot is legal, not that I use it but still
-Students get a certain amount of money every month, the amount depends on your living situation
-Students can use public transport freely
-There is no capital punishment, or murdering of inmates
-We have the best infrastructure
And probably many more, which I cannot think of right now, so where am I from? :D
The fixer idea is awesome! The U.S government should seriously think about that as it would rebuild destroyed areas
You have my vote. The only part I didn't agree with is the pot and things, but I like how you look for alternatives. I especially agree with the prison system. If I were to get caught smoking a joint I would never have a good paying job. Ever. My life has pretty much stopped there.
What I learned Drift0r would do if he was president; Outsource a new branch of the military from China that rebuilds Afghanistan.
Hyped to watch this, really enjoyed the first part.
This is my favorite type of vids on this channel. (I like the other ones a lot to)
I'm a fan of all aspects of this-military and education especially. The VA reforms are a great idea-drift0r4pres2k20
Hey, Drift0r, please! PLEASE! let us all know when you start campaigning! I'll donate, vote, and get everyone I know to vote for you when you run! haha, but great video man, very good ideas and I'm 100% behind all of them.
I've also thought about a branch of the military that helps out with after-war problems I also find that crime and anarchy are rampant in post war zones so I believe that we should have a gendarmerie that polices these zones and can interact with the people to help rebuild
There was a talk on LinusTechTips WAN-show about the police cameras. They're good idea but what the government doesn't get is that the amount of data every police station has to storage and sort is huge.
I'm looking forward to more of these episodes
Thanks for the video Drift0r. I was hoping you would take about the life time payment for some government positions, and how it's pros/cons.
I would vote for you Drift0r. Your points on education were very good and I wish we had those now.
The problem is that if cops wore cameras, we wouldn't be able to get out of speeding tickets anymore because it would have been legally documented that a person was speeding... no more warnings.. or if they did factor in a way to include warnings, they could keep track of how many you received instead of the 'infinite' amounts you could have now
My eyes have been opened. If you were president Driftor i'd vote for you anyday. I agree with every single thing you said.
Fun fact for military spending :D
The military spent $12,000 on a VAN that had no air conditioning, radio, or comfortable seats.
The same exact brand was being sold for $9,000 WITH air conditioning, radio, and decent seats.
Another one!
I used to live on base, and the military contractors that had made the house totally under-built every home to the point were there were leaks in the roof. It is not as bad as the leak, as so much that we live IN A DESERT AND WE GET LEAKS.... IN THE ROOF?
Pure military logic that had over priced rent and a contractor that only wanted to waist the tax payer's money.
I love the idea of the nascar suit thing
Drift0r I have watched both parts to this video and can say as a 14 year old boy. I agree with you very strongly. If you were to EVER run for president. You'll have my vote.
Man, you hit the nail on the head with basically every topic. I respect most of all your stance on the war on drugs and specifically the war was made to imprison black people and poor people. From where I'm from most people stereotype black people and poor people as drug addicts and sellers. Also another thing maybe you can touch on is how in prison there are ways to earn a degree or skill or trade, but it is not enforced so to speak. What I mean is that the system could care less whether you educate or rehabilitate yourself. So in turn, upon release, you have no skills and go back to what you were doing to get your sentence. Thanks Drift0r!!
Re-builders in the Military? I can say, because I was in the Navy, The Sea Bees come to mind.. they build anything.. or re build anything.
can we all just agree Drift0r has some seriously good points....especially about schools
So badly want like, another five or six of these videos.
I would definitely vote for you, a lot of roads in the Raleigh area need fixing.
"Police should wear cameras?" sounds like GoPros are about to get a another major buyer.
These are some very smart and reasonable ideas. Great video!
You got the idea of nascar shirts from the stand up robin williams did lol. Great vid still.
Came back and rewatched but laughed when he talked about net neutrality
"From UA-camr to President. The story of Drift0r."
I like your concept re: military. Innovative and practical. #RazeandRaise
Drift0r i agree with pretty much everything that you said except for two things and here is my opinion. When it comes to making a state out of our territories I think financially and morally speaking it would make sense. However in the case of a territory like Puerto Rico, I don't think making them a state would be a plausible option. Now I know based on the last time the vote for Puerto Rico to become a state was almost "50-50" but a good portion of Puerto Ricans in my family (I am Puerto Rican) would much rather see Puerto Rico become a sovereign nation of its own. So multiply this by the number of people who actually didn't vote (there was a large amount of people who didn't vote). Second of all I think that we actually need the weopons that we have access too. This is basically what keeps other powerful countries from trying to attack our nation. While I think that it could end up in the wrong hands, I would rather take that chance then let another country attack ours without the ability to retaliate.
Wow I didn't know about the vacation thing. In Germany it is very common to have like 28-30 days of mandatory vacation (2-3 days per month)
I would vote for him because he appeals to nearly everybody, offers believable solutions, and is open minded, no matter what he dreams of, how complicated his childhood, or his youth
You've got my vote. Seriously, really good ideas!
I must say that I agree with EVERY SINGLE THING you pointed out, especially the absurd amount of money we spend on the military. A lot of that goes into things like new air craft carriers and jets that we simply do not need right now is wasted tax dollars that could go into things like rebuilding our infrastructure or school systems.
Hey Drift0r, these commentaries are awesome. Just an idea: Have you considered staying a podcast to talk about these kinds of things? You could call it "yin yang", bring some people in to talk, and have different, intelligent opinions to each side of the story/ topic on hand. I dunno, just a suggestion.
Military spending and budgets: I agree that cutbacks through optimization are needed. Some projects or similar cost far more than necessary (the same goes for gov agencies I believe) while some necessary things are skimmed past for various reasons.
The "Fixers" would be similar to many military jobs that do those kinds of things already: Corps of Engineers and Signal Corps. spring to mind, but aren't the only ones in non-combat roles (or "Support Roles").
I think that as far as the "Fixers" go, it may work to have that be the intent of "deployments" or mobilizations for the Reserves and National Guard units as it can provide practical training and experience for those soldiers in Support roles to create new infrastructure in the US or abroad (power systems, communications, Internet/networks, water, waste, architecture, transportation, etc.) in a practical manner.
After all, the military almost literally has a job role for everything. Really. It's just that not everyone gets to do what they signed up for on a regular basis (Reserves and National Guard in particular).
Not disagreeing or contradicting you in any way; just providing more ideas and input that may help with a better plan or understanding for anyone who bothers to read this.
Ahhhhhh driftor knows school house rock!
There is already a branch that does construction they're called the U.S. Army Engineers, although there could be a dedicated Construction Corps
