This is a historic day..

Summary

The video features Asmongold reacting to two political announcements.

Planned execution at Fort Hood

A clip attributed to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says Nidal Hasan, the Army major convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, is to be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood on December 3 at 1 p.m.—the date and time of the attack. The announcement describes the execution as public and says it would be the first firing-squad execution since World War II.

Asmongold strongly approves, framing it as justice and a warning about the consequences of terrorism. He and others joke about watching or streaming it. The clip also argues that the attack should be recognized as Islamist terrorism rather than “workplace violence,” a phrase associated with the Obama administration.

Microsoft and employment-based immigration

A clip attributed to Vice President JD Vance says Microsoft’s access to the PERM program is being suspended, preventing it from using the program to seek permanent residency for certain H-1B workers. Vance cites figures claiming that Microsoft laid off 6,000 American workers while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards.

Asmongold welcomes the move and says companies should hire American workers, while speculating that the administration may be responding to voters’ concerns.

Education and workforce pipeline

Asmongold argues that restricting foreign hiring alone will not address the shortage of American workers in technical fields. He says the education system should better prepare students for engineering and other skilled professions, including by improving teaching and allowing high-performing students to advance.

He presents the Microsoft action as a positive step but says broader, incremental changes are needed.
