- 1:44Speaker 3: and we will be back all of this week, all
- 1:47Speaker 3: next week and then then it's OCNNE. So you know,
- 1:52Speaker 3: June is a busy month. All right, let's jump right
- 1:57Speaker 3: into it. And this was a busy weekend. I'm sorry
- 2:04Speaker 3: I wasn't around to give you the blow by blow,
- 2:07Speaker 3: but I figured i'd give you a X post blow
- 2:10Speaker 3: by blow on what happened this weekend iNTS you on
- 2:14Speaker 3: in Israel and Lebanon and Trumpet. It got pretty confusing.
- 2:17Speaker 3: It got pretty confusing, and I don't think the media
- 2:20Speaker 3: does a very good job of actually presenting kind of
- 2:24Speaker 3: the facts, the sequence of events, and and the the
- 2:28Speaker 3: rationale and the reasoning behind it. In addition, there's stuff
- 2:32Speaker 3: that is ongoing as a consequence of of what happened
- 2:37Speaker 3: in the weekend. And we'll get we'll get to that
- 2:40Speaker 3: as as well. So let's let's just start. Let's just
- 2:43Speaker 3: jump right in. So it's all as a problem, and
- 2:50Speaker 3: it's a northern border. The problem is called Chrisbella, Chris
- 2:54Speaker 3: Beella is constantly attacking a Israel sending drones and missiles
- 3:01Speaker 3: in particularly these these new kind of drugs with fiber
- 3:05Speaker 3: arctics cable. Israel does not have a solution for them yet,
- 3:10Speaker 3: missiles roans and they also shoot anti tank missiles from
- 3:18Speaker 3: across the border into Israeli towns. And you know this
- 3:24Speaker 3: is this is obviously killing civilians. It's it's disruptive to
- 3:30Speaker 3: people's lives. You know, it's a direct assault on people.
- 3:34Speaker 3: And this is exactly what you know, you have an
- 3:37Speaker 3: army to deal with. In addition, Umbel As planned for
- 3:43Speaker 3: many years now but has a plan for an attack
- 3:48Speaker 3: on Israel very similar to the October seventh attack, whereby
- 3:54Speaker 3: they would amassed hundreds of people, maybe thousands of people
- 3:57Speaker 3: on the Lebanese side of the border and just cross
- 3:59Speaker 3: over in mass, takeover villages and towns in Israel, rate pillage, slaughter,
- 4:05Speaker 3: do everything Ramas did on October seventh. So it's all
- 4:11Speaker 3: you know, has decided that it is it cannot, it
- 4:15Speaker 3: cannot allow Risbela to be on the Lebanese Israel border.
- 4:21Speaker 3: It has tried to get the Lebanese Army to basically
- 4:25Speaker 3: evict Risbela and take over those positions. The Lebanese army
- 4:29Speaker 3: basically refuses to confront Grisbela.
- 4:33Speaker 2: It's afraid of them, and for good reason.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I think the Lebanese Army would probably lose in a
- 4:37Speaker 3: confrontation with Grisbella. Prisbel As is a schieite terrorist militant
- 4:45Speaker 3: group that was established in Lebanon in basically nineteen eighty
- 4:50Speaker 3: two to three by the Iranians, by the IRGC, and
- 4:54Speaker 3: has since functioned as an extension of the Iranian state.
- 4:58Speaker 3: It is it is an going to station committed to
- 5:00Speaker 3: global jihad, to the takeover of the world by Islam,
- 5:06Speaker 3: just like the Uranian regime anyway, So it's Al's been
- 5:10Speaker 3: fighting out war with with Grisbella. You know, there's the Beepers,
- 5:13Speaker 3: you remember the Beepers. They've been bombing Beyrut, they've been
- 5:16Speaker 3: bombing uh and they have put ground trips into southern
- 5:20Speaker 3: Lebenon and basically kicked out Grisbella from southern Lebanon. Uh,
- 5:24Speaker 3: not all of it. There's a river called the Litani River,
- 5:27Speaker 3: which is a main liver river within southern Lebanon. They've
- 5:31Speaker 3: kicked out most of Grisbela north of that river. There's
- 5:34Speaker 3: still some pockets that Israel has not occupied, like the
- 5:39Speaker 3: city of Seoul, which I don't know what its name
- 5:44Speaker 3: is in English, but it is a city on the
- 5:46Speaker 3: on the Mediterranean coast. Israel doesn't want to go in there.
- 5:49Speaker 3: It's too populated, too much civilians. And I think that
- 5:54Speaker 3: they're worried about kind of global batlash if if if
- 5:59Speaker 3: something goes if something goes wrong.
- 6:03Speaker 2: What first? Start?
- 6:05Speaker 3: Okay, what happened here? Start? Oh, I'm saying, let me
- 6:13Speaker 3: get this. So it's just not working. Yeah, done. So
- 6:24Speaker 3: it's been kicking Chizbela out. In the meantime, it's been
- 6:28Speaker 3: discovering a massive tunnel systems, a huge amount of ammunition
- 6:33Speaker 3: and you know, basically everything you would need for the
- 6:36Speaker 3: kind of plan of rushing into Israel and attacking civilian
- 6:40Speaker 3: populations there. Uh, And they are constantly dismantling them. In
- 6:46Speaker 3: a few cases, they've actually gone north of the Litani
- 6:48Speaker 3: River to capture strategic positions like the Bouffo Castle north
- 6:53Speaker 3: of the Litani which sits the strategic location. It's an
- 6:57Speaker 3: ancient I think pre Roman Roman maybe maybe maybe Ottoman,
- 7:02Speaker 3: but certainly Roman, but I think Roman, certainly Ottamant maybe
- 7:06Speaker 3: Roman god uh before castle, which it's such an incredible
- 7:11Speaker 3: geographic vantage point, and Israel has occupied it and and
- 7:15Speaker 3: controls it, and underneath it discovered this amazing network of
- 7:20Speaker 3: tunnels and bunkers that that could hold hundreds of Gasbella fighters.
- 7:27Speaker 3: So Risbela has its fighters in the south trying to
- 7:31Speaker 3: attack these Raeli forces and with drones and with other
- 7:34Speaker 3: weapons systems. But in addition, Risbela has you know, training
- 7:40Speaker 3: grounds and amos in the Bacca Valley to the north east,
- 7:44Speaker 3: the northern eastern part, the central and northern east part
- 7:49Speaker 3: of Lebanon, and of course the leadership and the UH
- 7:54Speaker 3: the organization has run out of a neighborhood in the
- 7:59Speaker 3: south part, the southwestern part are Bay Route and Israel,
- 8:05Speaker 3: you know, during the war in two thousand and four
- 8:09Speaker 3: and earlier this year has basically leveled major parts of
- 8:15Speaker 3: this neighborhood. They've they've brought down whole buildings they've this
- 8:18Speaker 3: is where they killed in ISRAELA.
- 8:19Speaker 2: This is where they killed the entire leadership.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Of course, there's new leadership now, as there always is,
- 8:26Speaker 3: and there's also you know, that's where the leadership still resides.
- 8:30Speaker 3: And it's all periodically bombs Bay Route to take out
- 8:35Speaker 3: the leadership, to take out their infrastructure, to check out
- 8:39Speaker 3: commands centers and their communication and control hubs. As part
- 8:45Speaker 3: of the deal, the ceasefire deal, if you can call
- 8:48Speaker 3: it a deal, as part of the ceasefire capitulation, the Trump
- 8:53Speaker 3: agreed to with the Iranians, where the United States capitulates
- 8:57Speaker 3: the Iran it was read that Israel would stop bombing
- 9:04Speaker 3: Beirut and generally IWON expressed the view that they would
- 9:09Speaker 3: not sell any sign any deal as long as Israel
- 9:13Speaker 3: continued operating, as long as there's will continue operating in
- 9:18Speaker 3: Lebanon at all. Israel, of course cannot agree with to this,
- 9:25Speaker 3: and but it is did agreed. Trump put a lot
- 9:27Speaker 3: of pressure on them and they agreed to this formula.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Their formula is now in war.
- 9:32Speaker 3: You didn't know this, but Trump is It's a tit
- 9:36Speaker 3: for tat formula. Right, here's the deal. Anytime Isabela attacks
- 9:45Speaker 3: Israeli land, not attacks Israeli soldiers in South Lebanon. That's
- 9:50Speaker 3: legit according to this formula. But if the attack Israel
- 9:56Speaker 3: proper anytime they send drones and missile into Israel proper,
- 10:03Speaker 3: Israel then can retaliate in Beirout. This was agreed with
- 10:07Speaker 3: Nataniello and Trump a couple of weeks ago.
- 10:10Speaker 2: This is the formula.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Because Trump was putting a lot of pressure on Israel
- 10:14Speaker 3: to stop in Levenon completely. Netanelle wouldn't give so Trump
- 10:20Speaker 3: pressured on on b Roots, so Ntenelle gave him brut,
- 10:24Speaker 3: but on the condition of Isel has to be able
- 10:27Speaker 3: to bomb Beiroot if Risabela sends missiles into Israel or
- 10:35Speaker 3: drones or attackes anyway. I think it was on Friday,
- 10:41Speaker 3: Risbela did exactly that.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Risbella.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Oh and Yon, by the.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Way, has said.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Yan has said if Israel attacks by rut, then we
- 10:54Speaker 3: will attack Israel. You see the tit for tat for
- 10:56Speaker 3: tat for tit or something like that, all negotiated by
- 11:01Speaker 3: Trump in order to facilitate the greatest, best, most exciting,
- 11:09Speaker 3: most tremendous, fantastical deal in all of human history. They
- 11:14Speaker 3: will look nothing like Obama's deal. It will be so
- 11:17Speaker 3: much better than Obama's deal that Obama will have to
- 11:19Speaker 3: literally commit suicide from embarrassment. And how batter Trump's deal
- 11:24Speaker 3: is going to be from Obama's deal anyway? You know,
- 11:26Speaker 3: to do this, Trump has twisted Israel's arm and they
- 11:30Speaker 3: did that. Bet on Friday, the Isabella attacked Israel proper
- 11:35Speaker 3: crossed the borderline into Israel. And you know the drones
- 11:41Speaker 3: were I think they were shut down, but shut down
- 11:43Speaker 3: in Israeli territory Israel on Saturday, bomb babyout, now you
- 11:50Speaker 3: have to you know, this is a like a symbolic bombing.
- 11:55Speaker 3: They didn't go after any big target. They bombed a headquarters.
- 11:59Speaker 3: There was more Steve vacant. Two people died, I think
- 12:02Speaker 3: eleven injured. But that was it. You know, nothing is
- 12:05Speaker 3: compared to what Israel is capable of doing and is
- 12:07Speaker 3: often done, where they've killed dozens and taken out leadership figures.
- 12:11Speaker 3: These weren't important people, It wasn't an important commands center.
- 12:16Speaker 2: It was symbolic.
- 12:17Speaker 3: You attacked, You violated the quote ceasefire. You know you'll
- 12:21Speaker 3: get you'll get something in return. So this happened, is
- 12:28Speaker 3: your bombed is your Bombay route, and on Sunday, the
- 12:34Speaker 3: Iranians retaliated by launching about twenty five missiles in I
- 12:40Speaker 3: think four rounds into Israel. All the missiles are shot down,
- 12:44Speaker 3: shut down. It's important to note by Israel there was
- 12:48Speaker 3: no US assistance. In the past, There's always been US assistance.
- 12:52Speaker 3: No US assistance and shooting down the ballistic missiles shot
- 12:57Speaker 3: by Iran towards Israel. Anyway. At that point, at that point,
- 13:07Speaker 3: Trump calls Natennelle. No. At that point, Trump gives interviews
- 13:12Speaker 3: to anybody who calls her cell phone. I mean, this
- 13:16Speaker 3: is the only person, I think, only person I think
- 13:20Speaker 3: that allows journalists to call him myself. So all these
- 13:28Speaker 3: journalists bark, revide from Axious and somebody from Fox and
- 13:32Speaker 3: and I forget who else call I see it. Somebody's
- 13:35Speaker 3: seen we see call o persident Trump, and Trump says,
- 13:38Speaker 3: I won't allow Iswell to retaliate. I won't allow I mean, look,
- 13:43Speaker 3: no no damage. You sent twenty five ballistic missiles. Nobody died,
- 13:48Speaker 3: no damage. We're not gonna get excited about. I'm not
- 13:50Speaker 3: gonna let Nataille retell you. And he told somebody I'm
- 13:53Speaker 3: calling him now. I'm calling him out to tell him
- 13:55Speaker 3: not to retaliate, And indeed he did call Natennelle until
- 13:59Speaker 3: Natenielle not to retaliate, not to shoot back, not to
- 14:07Speaker 3: bomb to Hran. Given the the Rhanians, I said, ballistic
- 14:10Speaker 3: missiles towards Israel. Now let me let's be clear what
- 14:13Speaker 3: that means. That means ballistic missiles towards civilian population in Israel,
- 14:20Speaker 3: something that you would think, you know, the UN would condemn,
- 14:25Speaker 3: the European Union would condemn, the Americans would condemn, the
- 14:29Speaker 3: whole world would condemn. I mean, this is blind, dumb
- 14:34Speaker 3: ballistic missiles shot into residential areas in Israel. But no,
- 14:39Speaker 3: of course the world wouldn't. Never condemn that. Killing Israelis
- 14:42Speaker 3: is absolutely legit resistance.
- 14:44Speaker 2: I think they call it.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Anyway. To tell you, I was like, huh, you know,
- 14:49Speaker 3: we have to we have to keep up appearances. We
- 14:52Speaker 3: can't if they bomb us and we don't retaliate, they'll
- 14:54Speaker 3: keep bombing and our deterrence will go away, you know,
- 14:59Speaker 3: Peace to strength. To remember that Trump, I don't know
- 15:01Speaker 3: if he said that, but remember that. And and Trump said, no, no,
- 15:04Speaker 3: I don't want you to retaliate, don't start a war
- 15:06Speaker 3: on me. You know, I've got to I've got a
- 15:08Speaker 3: deal with you. You know, the deal, the deal it's
- 15:11Speaker 3: gonna be. It's gonna be signed Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
- 15:14Speaker 3: I mean it's gonna be signed this week, I promise you.
- 15:17Speaker 3: And if it's not signed, we America will join is Well,
- 15:20Speaker 3: will will will destroy the Ranions. And Antonio was thinking
- 15:25Speaker 3: in his head, Yeah, one more threat Trump has made
- 15:31Speaker 3: that he does asn't lived up to. I can't trust
- 15:34Speaker 3: this guy for a second. So uh. Anyway, he kind
- 15:39Speaker 3: of concluded the conversation by saying, uh, I don't know,
- 15:42Speaker 3: we'll see. He non committal, right, at least according to reports.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Who knows what was on what actually happened. Then, you know,
- 15:50Speaker 3: it is what convenes. It's uh, it's a security thing.
- 15:56Speaker 3: And they decide to retaliate, and they do.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Uh.
- 16:00Speaker 3: They first bomb a number of military facilities uh and uh.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And then they go after the entire A defense system,
- 16:08Speaker 3: the new A defense system that the Ranians have installed,
- 16:11Speaker 3: probably Chinese.
- 16:13Speaker 2: They destroy it.
- 16:15Speaker 3: They also bomb a petrol chemical plant. This isn't like
- 16:19Speaker 3: two rounds. In between those rounds, the Iranians launch again,
- 16:25Speaker 3: and you know, so Israel's gone after they've they bombedn't
- 16:30Speaker 3: be route, they bombedn't come in in tbreeze, and maybe
- 16:33Speaker 3: one of the play one or two other places. Again
- 16:36Speaker 3: they've taken out their defense systems to prepare for a
- 16:39Speaker 3: bigger thing. And and they're preparing. They basically got a
- 16:43Speaker 3: couple of hundred Israeli airplanes on atomac ready launch a
- 16:49Speaker 3: third and probably devastating attack on on on the Iranians,
- 16:55Speaker 3: which might have included leadership figures and command and control
- 16:59Speaker 3: sent and other things. I don't know. Maybe there was
- 17:02Speaker 3: even talk about taking out oil and gas and UH
- 17:06Speaker 3: and power plants. At this point, the Iranians called Trump
- 17:12Speaker 3: or somebody, you know. The somebody calls Trump from the
- 17:16Speaker 3: Iranian side or representing the Ranians and says to Trump,
- 17:20Speaker 3: Iran is willing to stop now, no more firing in
- 17:23Speaker 3: Israel today, if Israel will stop, and you know, we
- 17:29Speaker 3: can start talking again about about about negotiations tomorrow. And
- 17:35Speaker 3: Trump goes, yes, all right, this is cool. I'm so excited,
- 17:38Speaker 3: calls Natenia up and he tells Natania, how you got
- 17:41Speaker 3: to stop?
- 17:41Speaker 2: This is it?
- 17:42Speaker 3: You know, you did your thing, you you bombed them,
- 17:46Speaker 3: you you showed that you would not sit idly by
- 17:50Speaker 3: and you bomb them. We get it, and and said okay,
- 17:55Speaker 3: and they basically called off the attack and and they stopped.
- 18:01Speaker 3: It's very reminiscent of in a twelve day war. If
- 18:04Speaker 3: you remember, Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and you won,
- 18:10Speaker 3: and then y won launched another barrage of missiles and Israel,
- 18:13Speaker 3: and Israel had over one hundred airplanes over the skies
- 18:18Speaker 3: of Tehran ready to launch a devastating, crushing blow to
- 18:23Speaker 3: the regime, and Trump called bb and had them flown back,
- 18:27Speaker 3: fly back to Israel.
- 18:28Speaker 2: So this is Trump's emo.
- 18:31Speaker 3: He stops Israel for finishing or pursuing the goal every
- 18:36Speaker 3: opportunity has. So you know, that's where it stood today.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Everybody's standing down. The Ranians are standing down, the Israelis
- 18:50Speaker 3: are standing down, and the Ranians, by the way today
- 18:56Speaker 3: are saying, yeah, there's no deal with Trump. You know,
- 19:01Speaker 3: we're not interested in the deal. We're not going to compromise.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Trump knows what he wants. If he gives it to us, fine,
- 19:08Speaker 3: but we're not budging an inch. So Trump keeps saying
- 19:12Speaker 3: there's a deal imminent any day now. In a day
- 19:14Speaker 3: or two there's going to be a deal, andias are like, nah,
- 19:18Speaker 3: none of that is true. None of that is true.
- 19:21Speaker 3: So it's really hard to say whether Trump is just delusional,
- 19:28Speaker 3: whether he's just lost the plot and he really somehow
- 19:36Speaker 3: believes in some for some reason, in some way, that
- 19:45Speaker 3: there is a deal out there, or he's being spoon
- 19:50Speaker 3: fed nonsense by his advisors wit Cough jd Vance, maybe others.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 19:57Speaker 3: It's really hard to tell. Because Trump keeps saying that
- 20:00Speaker 3: going to be a deal, there's going to be a deal.
- 20:01Speaker 3: He kept setting deadlines, The deadlines come and go, no deal.
- 20:05Speaker 3: And this is what's unique about Trump that doesn't seem
- 20:08Speaker 3: to bother him, Like his failure repeatedly and his drawing
- 20:19Speaker 3: of dead lines and repeatedly violating it doesn't register. There's
- 20:25Speaker 3: no consciousness there. I mean, it really is bizarre. I've
- 20:29Speaker 3: never seen anybody like this. I've never seen anybody threaten
- 20:34Speaker 3: as much as he threatens and then not do anything
- 20:38Speaker 3: about it. Nothing, not does zero. I've never seen anybody
- 20:42Speaker 3: make predictions about this is gonna happen, this is going
- 20:44Speaker 3: to have and when it doesn't happen, just keep predicting.
- 20:46Speaker 3: It's going to happen in the future without any qualms,
- 20:49Speaker 3: any problems. I've never seen anybody believe his own bullshit
- 20:55Speaker 3: as much as Trump believes his own bullshit. I mean it,
- 20:59Speaker 3: it really somebody needs to study on this. It's a
- 21:03Speaker 3: unique psychological phenomena that I've never experienced before. I don't
- 21:10Speaker 3: know about you, guys. I mean, every single day he threatens,
- 21:14Speaker 3: and he puts a deadline, and he commits to a deal,
- 21:16Speaker 3: and he commits to all these things, and every single
- 21:19Speaker 3: day doesn't happen, and every single day he redoes it.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And now he's putting.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Pressure on Israel to sacrifice its national security, to sacrifice
- 21:30Speaker 3: its deterrents capabilities for his own privacy of consciousness, delusions
- 21:41Speaker 3: of deal making. I mean, I really do think he's
- 21:49Speaker 3: being advised by morons. They don't understand the nature of
- 21:55Speaker 3: the Ranian regime. They don't understand how much suffering the
- 21:59Speaker 3: Indian regime willing to put its own people through. They
- 22:02Speaker 3: don't understand religious fanaticism, or they should, because some of
- 22:05Speaker 3: them are. They don't understand Islamic religious fanaticism. One actually
- 22:18Speaker 3: makes a good point on the Chat. He makes a
- 22:21Speaker 3: good point. He says you haven't watched doomsday cults very much,
- 22:26Speaker 3: then have it?
- 22:27Speaker 2: You?
- 22:28Speaker 3: You're right, I mean, it's exactly like a doomsday cult.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Remember the doomsday cults. This is the end, this is
- 22:34Speaker 3: the day of reckoning. Jesus is coming and he said,
- 22:37Speaker 3: this is it. This is I mean, indeed, Christianity has
- 22:43Speaker 3: been a doomsday cult from day one, like Jesus kept
- 22:45Speaker 3: predicting the end of the world, and Paul did, and
- 22:48Speaker 3: then you know, for a few hundred years they kept
- 22:51Speaker 3: doing it until they figured out, well, maybe we should stop.
- 22:54Speaker 3: And then only some sects, you know, within the bigger
- 22:59Speaker 3: Christian community did it. But yes, millennial cults or generally
- 23:04Speaker 3: death cults constantly dosday cults constantly do this and Trump it.
- 23:10Speaker 3: But Trump is not that, I guess. You know.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Anyway, it's stunning.
- 23:21Speaker 3: What else do I want to tell you? Why didn't
- 23:24Speaker 3: tenne attack you on? Well, there really two reasons. The
- 23:29Speaker 3: two reasons that Tenniel really had to attack you on.
- 23:32Speaker 3: One is this is his really strategic doctrine, this is
- 23:40Speaker 3: self defense one oh. One is you cannot afford in
- 23:46Speaker 3: terms of its security to not retaliate when attacked. It
- 23:52Speaker 3: has to have the truent power. It lives in too
- 23:57Speaker 3: dangerous of a neighborhood, has too many animal to allow
- 24:01Speaker 3: the enemy to think for a moment they have one
- 24:03Speaker 3: up on Israel and that Israel will not respond. So
- 24:08Speaker 3: just strategically, he had to do something, and the fear
- 24:18Speaker 3: was that if he didn't, well what happens next time
- 24:23Speaker 3: when Israel attacks be Woods, Well, there's a non attack.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Biwood is not afraid of Uranian attacks Iwan. By the way,
- 24:30Speaker 3: at the end of this for Tetfritid for Tetrafratid for
- 24:32Speaker 3: Tach announced that from now on, any activity of Israel
- 24:36Speaker 3: in southern Lebanon, not just in be Rut, would warrant
- 24:39Speaker 3: a missile attack. They haven't lived up to that because
- 24:43Speaker 3: the fact is that Israel today has been bombing all
- 24:46Speaker 3: over southern Lebanon and the Uranians haven't done anything about
- 24:49Speaker 3: it because Israel responded and they do not want to
- 24:54Speaker 3: piss off the Israelis. And by the way, Israel taking
- 24:57Speaker 3: out their defenses to means Israel now can again for
- 25:00Speaker 3: the next few days of release until they rearm, basically
- 25:03Speaker 3: fly around Iran freely. And they know that. So that's
- 25:19Speaker 3: the reason number one Nataniell did it strategically.
- 25:21Speaker 2: He had to.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Reason Number two is there's an election coming up, is all.
- 25:30Speaker 3: We'll have an election in the fall. The likely date
- 25:35Speaker 3: that I'm seeing right now that people are predicting is
- 25:37Speaker 3: October twentieth. October twentieth is well, we'll have a key
- 25:43Speaker 3: election in Natanielle. This is the first election since October seventh.
- 25:48Speaker 3: The opposition is strong. It's going to be very close.
- 25:54Speaker 3: It's likely the opposition wins, but cannot form a government
- 25:58Speaker 3: because it doesn't have a majority of fifty one percent
- 26:01Speaker 3: without without the Arab.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Parties in the Knesset.
- 26:05Speaker 3: The Arabs tend to be far far left or istamished
- 26:10Speaker 3: and or some of the political parties I stamised, some
- 26:12Speaker 3: of them fall left, and typically Israel doesn't form a
- 26:15Speaker 3: coalition with him in the government it has in the
- 26:20Speaker 3: past once.
- 26:21Speaker 2: So Nantoniao is wide about that election.
- 26:24Speaker 3: If he had not attacked yesterday, then his political career
- 26:30Speaker 3: would be over. He would have lost that election Bak time.
- 26:35Speaker 3: He would have been portrayed by his critics as a
- 26:38Speaker 3: lackey of Donald Trump. Is too cowardly to stand up
- 26:42Speaker 3: for Trump. It's bad for Israel because he's making Israel
- 26:47Speaker 3: just a a you know, what do you call it?
- 26:57Speaker 3: You know, completely dependent on the United States for its
- 26:59Speaker 3: own self defense. And he wouldn't have survived that. He
- 27:03Speaker 3: would not have survived that. So natanie had to do
- 27:07Speaker 3: it for political reasons. Just like Trump thinks he needs
- 27:11Speaker 3: a deal for political reasons, he doesn't. He needs to
- 27:14Speaker 3: win for political reasons. But he doesn't understand that. People
- 27:17Speaker 3: don't understand that the thing that gets you the most
- 27:20Speaker 3: votes pretty much in any context is victory. So Nataniello
- 27:29Speaker 3: did it for those two reasons. One, it's the right
- 27:31Speaker 3: thing to do, and it's it was strategy and it's
- 27:36Speaker 3: self defense. The second is.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Political.
- 27:41Speaker 3: If he doesn't do it, he loses the election big time.
- 27:44Speaker 3: He probably lose it anyway. And really, the how well
- 27:49Speaker 3: Natenniel does in the election between now and October, it's
- 27:53Speaker 3: going to depend on Trump.
- 27:56Speaker 2: To the extent that. You know, Israel can win this war.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Israel perceives this having a free hand and crushing the Iranians.
- 28:08Speaker 3: If Israel can pacify Isbela, then the channel is a
- 28:14Speaker 3: good shot. And of course that all depends on Trump
- 28:18Speaker 3: allowing Israel to do it. Israel can do all those things,
- 28:21Speaker 3: but will Trump allow Israel to do it. If Trump
- 28:26Speaker 3: cuts a bad deal with you on and the only
- 28:28Speaker 3: deal I think Trump can cut with you on is
- 28:31Speaker 3: a bad deal and NATA now can't do anything to
- 28:34Speaker 3: stop it, then it's a good chance he loses the
- 28:39Speaker 3: next election, and maybe by a big margin. Every day
- 28:46Speaker 3: that there's more talk of a deal is a day
- 28:50Speaker 3: that according to polling, Natanio is losing supports and the
- 28:54Speaker 3: opposition is gating support. By the way, during his media
- 29:00Speaker 3: appearances and after his talk with with Antoniello, you know,
- 29:04Speaker 3: he basically said, Trump said, I'm gonna kind of deal
- 29:13Speaker 3: with youan Israel has no say in the matter. They
- 29:16Speaker 3: will do as they are told. The more Trump talks
- 29:21Speaker 3: like that, the less successful BB will be in the election.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Israelis don't want to think of themselves as a dependent state.
- 29:36Speaker 3: They don't want to think themselves as you know, beholden
- 29:40Speaker 3: to America on everything. Indeed, you know, Nathaniel has just
- 29:43Speaker 3: put out a plan on how to eliminate all money
- 29:48Speaker 3: from the United States within I think within a decade.
- 29:53Speaker 3: He should really do it within four years. Israel is
- 29:59Speaker 3: building out of defense industry and building out defense capabilities
- 30:04Speaker 3: so that they can be as independent as possible. So
- 30:11Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day, it's all
- 30:13Speaker 3: achieved what it wanted. Over the weekend, it checked the
- 30:18Speaker 3: Iranian attempt to restrict their freedom of action against Grisabella,
- 30:24Speaker 3: and they did in spite of the fact that the
- 30:26Speaker 3: United States put huge amount of pressure on them.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Not to act.
- 30:31Speaker 3: Iran, in its missile attacks against Israel, hit nothing. It
- 30:36Speaker 3: suffered a few hits on its military, nothing huge, but
- 30:42Speaker 3: it's incredibly exposed the Israeli Air Force can do what
- 30:45Speaker 3: it wants in Iwan. It proved it again this weekend,
- 30:50Speaker 3: and the Iranians know it. What did I won gain
- 30:56Speaker 3: this weekend, It's huge. What he won gained, I won
- 30:59Speaker 3: gained renewed sense that Trump is desperate for a deal, desperate,
- 31:11Speaker 3: desperate enough to put huge amount of pressure on Antennielle
- 31:14Speaker 3: not to retaliate a blatant attack on his own country.
- 31:18Speaker 2: And by the way, think about this.
- 31:22Speaker 3: Over the last week, US assets are being hit by
- 31:27Speaker 3: the Iranians in Quait. The airport in Quate was you know,
- 31:35Speaker 3: one of the terminals was destroyed.
- 31:40Speaker 2: You know, we already know.
- 31:41Speaker 3: That the Eye is being attacked and now supposed to
- 31:46Speaker 3: today Iran attacked.
- 31:50Speaker 2: US basis in Iraq.
- 31:54Speaker 3: And all of these clear unequivocal violation of the ceasefire.
- 32:00Speaker 3: And what has trumped down about any of these Nothing,
- 32:05Speaker 3: not nothing. There's some talk at some point, oh, we're
- 32:08Speaker 3: gonna use the Iranian foes and assets to rebuild the
- 32:13Speaker 3: Kuwaiti air Field airport, but nothing actually happened. They haven't
- 32:20Speaker 3: released those monies for that purpose, and they won't. I
- 32:26Speaker 3: know the extent of American weakness. I just find it incomprehensible.
- 32:35Speaker 3: And I'm really finding it how to convey to you guys,
- 32:39Speaker 3: just how I mean. America's got the mightiest military force
- 32:43Speaker 3: in all of human history, and it's been cowered. It's
- 32:50Speaker 3: literally being cowered, brought to its knees by a pathetic, weak,
- 32:56Speaker 3: ridiculous Iranian regime because Trump can't handle the heat. It
- 33:07Speaker 3: is mind boggling. It is mind boggling how weak Trump
- 33:16Speaker 3: is right now. And just think of the Chinese watching this,
- 33:21Speaker 3: or the Russians watching this, So anybody watching this, this
- 33:26Speaker 3: is the weaker.
- 33:27Speaker 2: This is weaker.
- 33:28Speaker 3: What's happened over the last few weeks is significantly weaker
- 33:34Speaker 3: than Biden's exit for off Stan, which was a disaster.
- 33:39Speaker 3: But that had visuals, So that's stuck in people's heads.
- 33:44Speaker 3: What what's going on right now doesn't have any visuals.
- 33:52Speaker 3: It's yeah, it really is stunning. Americans being attacked, American
- 33:58Speaker 3: bases are being attacked, American troops are being attacked, Americans
- 34:01Speaker 3: are being you know, injured, and the US does nothing
- 34:11Speaker 3: other than other than a watch and and and pray
- 34:21Speaker 3: and beg for a deal. So Yuhan gained valuable strategic
- 34:29Speaker 3: currency and insight. It's clear that the US is desperate
- 34:33Speaker 3: for a deal, even a very bad and humiliating deal.
- 34:38Speaker 3: The US will take it. And now all the Ranians
- 34:41Speaker 3: have to do is figure out how to calibrate this.
- 34:44Speaker 3: How humiliating do they want it to be?
- 34:56Speaker 2: All right?
- 34:58Speaker 3: Now, in the background, just to give some more color
- 35:01Speaker 3: to this, in the background, the Gulf States basically called
- 35:07Speaker 3: Trump asking him to restrain Israel. And here's the pattern.
- 35:12Speaker 3: The Golf States have basically communicated a very clear message
- 35:18Speaker 3: to Trump. We will support you, We will support Israel
- 35:26Speaker 3: if the purpose is regime change and you go all in,
- 35:30Speaker 3: all out and do it and win. What we will
- 35:35Speaker 3: not support is one of these cycles tit for tat
- 35:39Speaker 3: cycles of violence, because they're afraid of getting hood, and
- 35:44Speaker 3: they're afraid of not getting At the end of the
- 35:46Speaker 3: whole thing, their facilities will be destroyed and.
- 35:51Speaker 2: There will be no regime change.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Trump and his call is second call to Natanielle said,
- 36:03Speaker 3: you did what you did. Now hold your fire. We're
- 36:05Speaker 3: heading towards an agreement. And then you Antony comes out
- 36:09Speaker 3: and says, no, we're not.
- 36:20Speaker 2: Yep.
- 36:21Speaker 3: So again, uh, Trump to the Financial Time said, then
- 36:30Speaker 3: nathaniel will have no choice but to accept any deal
- 36:32Speaker 3: of the United States negotiates with you on I'm no
- 36:40Speaker 3: one who decides, Trump said, Nataniell doesn't decide. Natanell will
- 36:45Speaker 3: have no choice but to accept a.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Deal with you on.
- 36:51Speaker 3: A Uh. Let's see. Now, there was an interesting story
- 36:57Speaker 3: last week, and it's the story I told you. I
- 37:02Speaker 3: mean a couple of months ago when the war was
- 37:05Speaker 3: going on. Remember there was a there was a point
- 37:07Speaker 3: in the war Israel in the United States are bombing
- 37:11Speaker 3: and there's a story that comes out that the United
- 37:14Speaker 3: States and Israel are arming the Kurds to attack the
- 37:18Speaker 3: IRGC to enter from Iraq and to attack the Iranians
- 37:24Speaker 3: on their western front in western Iraq. And at the
- 37:29Speaker 3: last minute, the whole thing was called off. Well, it
- 37:32Speaker 3: turns out that this was a plan developed by the
- 37:34Speaker 3: Mossade with the help of the CIA, to overthrow the
- 37:40Speaker 3: Ranian regime. This is one element within a larger plan,
- 37:47Speaker 3: and that the Kurds were ready, they were armed, and
- 37:52Speaker 3: somebody leaked the story to Urdugan, the Turkish president. Now,
- 38:01Speaker 3: as I told you at the time, I speculated this
- 38:05Speaker 3: is what happened. Erigon does not want the Kords to
- 38:08Speaker 3: be successful. He considers them his enemy. So he immediately
- 38:14Speaker 3: called Trump and convinced Trump to abandon the Kurdish invasion,
- 38:22Speaker 3: which would have supposedly accelerated regime change. Anyone, this is
- 38:28Speaker 3: not the first time that Ergon has convinced Trump not
- 38:33Speaker 3: to support the Coords and to back off plans. John
- 38:36Speaker 3: Bolton describes another example in his book From the From
- 38:40Speaker 3: the First Term. Erdigon, another thorbitarian dictator, has Trump's number.
- 38:46Speaker 3: They know exactly what to say to him, how to
- 38:48Speaker 3: talk to him, how to get him on their side.
- 38:52Speaker 3: So Trump prevented the Cords from going in. Now who
- 38:56Speaker 3: leaked it to Urigon? Well, dramatic report last week suggested
- 39:04Speaker 3: that it was Vice President jd Vance, who has been
- 39:09Speaker 3: anti this Wolf from the beginning is the one who
- 39:12Speaker 3: actually leaked it. So jd Vance who let Odigan convinced
- 39:16Speaker 3: Trump to back off. All right, let's say anything else
- 39:29Speaker 3: I want to.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Say about about this. M No, I think we're good.
- 39:38Speaker 3: So yeah, that is is early one eleven and Trump
- 39:42Speaker 3: I'm happy to take any questions you have on all
- 39:45Speaker 3: of this.
- 39:45Speaker 2: But ongoing story.
- 39:48Speaker 3: We will find out in the hours and days to
- 39:51Speaker 3: come whether how this will develop it. This is not
- 39:55Speaker 3: the end of the story, clearly, not the end of
- 39:58Speaker 3: the story, clearly. Yeah. Basically no, ye, no, No breaking
- 40:16Speaker 3: news on that front, at least not right now. Let's see,
- 40:22Speaker 3: let's talk a little bit about Russia. You know, for
- 40:25Speaker 3: years now, I've been telling you Russia's in big trouble,
- 40:28Speaker 3: and I think continues to be.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Uh.
- 40:32Speaker 3: On the front line, it seems to be losing more
- 40:34Speaker 3: ground than gaining. The Ukrainian military seems to be really
- 40:39Speaker 3: pushing the Russians backward, not so not because of ground movement,
- 40:44Speaker 3: but because the drones making supplying the troops of the
- 40:47Speaker 3: frontline impossible. It is making impossible for the fund for
- 40:51Speaker 3: the troops on the front line to be on the
- 40:53Speaker 3: front line because they're constantly being attacked by drones and uh,
- 41:00Speaker 3: you know net on net every month out that goes by,
- 41:03Speaker 3: Ukraine gains more ground than Russia is gaining round. So
- 41:09Speaker 3: Russia basically is left with just bombing the hell out
- 41:13Speaker 3: of Ukrainian city's civilian population. You know, a few nights ago,
- 41:20Speaker 3: this is about a week ago, Russia launched seven and
- 41:24Speaker 3: twenty nine drones and missiles against Ukraine in one night,
- 41:30Speaker 3: most of them talking in the city of Kiev. Now,
- 41:35Speaker 3: the Ukrainian Air Force down a total six hundred and
- 41:37Speaker 3: forty two. That leaves almost one hundred that actually made it,
- 41:41Speaker 3: and there were casualties as a consequence of this. But
- 41:48Speaker 3: you know that is not the only front. Of course,
- 41:52Speaker 3: Ukraine constantly is launching drones into Russia, deep into Russia.
- 42:02Speaker 3: We've talked about this before, you know, reaching reaching oil facilities, uh,
- 42:14Speaker 3: you know, refineries, docks where they responsible for the export
- 42:20Speaker 3: of oil. And just last week they bombed a big
- 42:26Speaker 3: old facility in a weapons facility in Saint Petersburg, just
- 42:30Speaker 3: as there was a big economic conference in St. Petersburg
- 42:33Speaker 3: and you could see in the background massive explosions and
- 42:38Speaker 3: fires going on. They are demolizing the Russians and they
- 42:43Speaker 3: are destroying their oil infrastructure. They've also basically cut off
- 42:48Speaker 3: the road that leads from Russia to Crimea along what
- 42:52Speaker 3: used to be the Ukrainian shoreline on the Black Sea.
- 42:57Speaker 3: With drones, they're basically targeting any supply, any supply trucks
- 43:02Speaker 3: that are traveling and loss that's going along this road
- 43:05Speaker 3: they are attacking. One of the advantages the Ukrainians have
- 43:11Speaker 3: is they've actually developed a system by which they get
- 43:15Speaker 3: real time satellite intelligence from commercial satellites and the drone
- 43:22Speaker 3: operator can actually use that to target the drone, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 3: send it on its way. So not only do they
- 43:33Speaker 3: have all the conventional ways of detecting targets, they now
- 43:36Speaker 3: have commercial satellites that they can basically get information from
- 43:43Speaker 3: and this has dramatically improved the speed and precision of
- 43:47Speaker 3: Ukrainian drone attacks. They use Stallink for the Internet, they
- 43:52Speaker 3: don't use Stallink for intelligence gathering of locations. For that,
- 43:56Speaker 3: you need satellites that are actually taking photos of what's
- 44:00Speaker 3: going on on the ground, and usually commercial satellite companies
- 44:03Speaker 3: take those photos, but you don't get it into real time.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Ukraine has managed to sign contract with these companies to
- 44:08Speaker 3: get it in close to real time, close enough for
- 44:11Speaker 3: them to be able to use it in the drone attacks.
- 44:16Speaker 3: There's an extensive story about this in the Osset Journal today.
- 44:21Speaker 3: I suppose the technology is a transatlantic collaboration between vent Or,
- 44:25Speaker 3: a Dutch geospatial intelligence company, and Bravo one offa a
- 44:30Speaker 3: US based persistent systems together with and in collaboration with
- 44:36Speaker 3: Ukrainian defense from Borev Boorevy. And this technology is being
- 44:42Speaker 3: delivered directly to troops you know in the boat area
- 44:50Speaker 3: who are managing the drones. Incredibly powerful. Basically, Ukraine has
- 44:56Speaker 3: developed into by far the best and the best equipped
- 45:00Speaker 3: army in Europe, not because of that tanks, not because
- 45:03Speaker 3: that airplanes, but because it has mastered like no army
- 45:08Speaker 3: in history, it has mastered the use of drones, both
- 45:12Speaker 3: in attack mode and in defense mode. It has the
- 45:15Speaker 3: best defensive capabilities against drones. These Raelis could use their
- 45:19Speaker 3: help right now and the best offensive capabilities against drones.
- 45:28Speaker 3: But Russia's losing another funts as well. They can't afford
- 45:33Speaker 3: this war, you know, the senior government officials have worn.
- 45:39Speaker 2: Russian President putin that.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Spending on the war in Ukraine is on an end
- 45:46Speaker 3: unaffordable path. It risks government budget deficits widening dangerously. Remember,
- 45:53Speaker 3: Russia does not have access to global borrowing markets. Officials
- 45:59Speaker 3: in the Finance Minister and the Central Bank have proposed
- 46:02Speaker 3: new cuts the defense spending, but of course Minister of
- 46:06Speaker 3: Defense is having none of that. The Russian economy is spiraling,
- 46:15Speaker 3: it's getting worse. I've told you from day one. Quality
- 46:18Speaker 3: of life, standard living in god down, but inflation is high.
- 46:23Speaker 2: The ruble is down.
- 46:27Speaker 3: And deficits exploding, which only suggests even more inflation in
- 46:32Speaker 3: the future. So Russia's in trouble economically and financially. But
- 46:42Speaker 3: here's the other front. Russia's in trouble in Russia used
- 46:45Speaker 3: to have countries around the world, really mainly in Europe,
- 46:55Speaker 3: that it had real influence in and way it was
- 47:00Speaker 3: hoping that in elections it could put people who are
- 47:07Speaker 3: friendly to it in power. Maybe the best example of
- 47:11Speaker 3: that is Hungry, where they had Auban who was friendly
- 47:15Speaker 3: to Putin and who did everything in his power to
- 47:18Speaker 3: slow down the EU and to slow down NATO's support
- 47:21Speaker 3: for Ukraine.
- 47:24Speaker 2: Oban is lost and is out.
- 47:28Speaker 3: They were hoping that in Romania, a Moldova, they could
- 47:33Speaker 3: put enough money into the political campaign so that pro
- 47:36Speaker 3: Russia political parties would win and that those political parties
- 47:42Speaker 3: would create problems with the EU and NATO in supporting Ukraine.
- 47:48Speaker 3: In both Romania and Moldova, they have lost. Finally, this
- 47:55Speaker 3: happened this weekend. Russia's had a long time relationship with Armenia.
- 48:04Speaker 3: They supported Armenia and it's conflicent with Azerbaijan in the past,
- 48:08Speaker 3: and Armenia was considered the ally of Russia in the Caucasus.
- 48:16Speaker 3: But Armenia has been disappointed by Russia when Azerbajehan attacked
- 48:20Speaker 3: it a couple of years ago. The Russians did not help.
- 48:24Speaker 3: When they look at the performance of Russian weapons systems
- 48:28Speaker 3: their own, the ones in the Russian uses in Ukraine,
- 48:32Speaker 3: they're not impressed. And Armenia has come to the conclusion
- 48:37Speaker 3: quite definitively that they would much rather align themselves with
- 48:43Speaker 3: Europe than with Russia. And indeed, in this latest election
- 48:50Speaker 3: over the weekend, not only did the pro europe political
- 48:56Speaker 3: parties win, but they won by a margin much greater
- 49:00Speaker 3: than anything that anybody expected. Armenians have basically lost faith
- 49:05Speaker 3: in Russia and they're distancing themselves from it, even though
- 49:10Speaker 3: it's a threat not far from their border. I don't
- 49:18Speaker 3: think Russia is going to take military action against Armenia.
- 49:23Speaker 2: I think they're too busy.
- 49:27Speaker 3: But this is a big deal. I mean, Georgia is
- 49:34Speaker 3: under Russia's thumb right now, but Armenia's break with Russia
- 49:40Speaker 3: is big deal. It strengthens Europe. It also strengthens Turkey.
- 49:45Speaker 3: Turki has always been Armenia's enemy, Armenians genocide by the Turks,
- 49:50Speaker 3: but they are now getting closer. Armenia has more to
- 49:55Speaker 3: gain from Turky than it did from Russia. And again,
- 50:04Speaker 3: you know, it's a huge setback for Putin, huge setback
- 50:07Speaker 3: for Russia more broadly, and the Kremlin's fear sphere of
- 50:14Speaker 3: influence is shrinking. It's certainly shrinking. It's certainly shrinking in
- 50:20Speaker 3: Europe Caucuses being part of Europe or Asia. I mean,
- 50:25Speaker 3: Russia's invasion of Ukraine has done into and I told
- 50:30Speaker 3: you this in the first months of the war. It's
- 50:34Speaker 3: turned into a geopolitical strategic catastrophe for Russia. Remember all
- 50:40Speaker 3: the countries that join NATO, Finland, Norway, or was it
- 50:45Speaker 3: Finland and Sweden, So Finland and Sweden.
- 50:50Speaker 2: That was huge.
- 50:52Speaker 3: And the fact that Europe has come together to form
- 50:55Speaker 3: a front to oppose.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Russia, that is huge.
- 50:59Speaker 3: But on top of that, Russia has lost all of
- 51:03Speaker 3: its satellites, all of its fear of influence. It's just
- 51:08Speaker 3: collapsing all around them. Arminia chows Europe over Russia, unsurprisingly
- 51:18Speaker 3: or maybe surprisingly, and they're gonna have a piece deal
- 51:22Speaker 3: with US at Rajahn, and you know, they're going to
- 51:28Speaker 3: reform in their economy and they're going to be much
- 51:30Speaker 3: better shape, the Arminians than if they'd stayed in the
- 51:34Speaker 3: Russians fear of influence. All Right, this is kind of
- 51:39Speaker 3: a I don't know if you watched this. Over the weekend,
- 51:42Speaker 3: Donald Trump went and he did an interview with NBC.
- 51:46Speaker 3: I guess he went all the way to Wisconsin for
- 51:47Speaker 3: this interview. I'm not sure exactly why. Yeah, there's a
- 51:50Speaker 3: whole bunch of farm equipment in the background as this
- 51:53Speaker 3: woman is interviewing him.
- 51:57Speaker 2: And as soon as it got.
- 52:02Speaker 3: As soon as it got to January sixth and then
- 52:08Speaker 3: the twenty twenty elections, Trump just lost it. I mean,
- 52:12Speaker 3: he completely lost it again. The guy is nuts. So
- 52:18Speaker 3: Welca the interviewer says, do you think anyone who attacks
- 52:21Speaker 3: police officers on January six should get taxpayer money? Trump says,
- 52:31Speaker 3: I can tell you this, ninety seven percent of those folks,
- 52:35Speaker 3: you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was,
- 52:38Speaker 3: you had a lot of crooked cops that FBI agents
- 52:44Speaker 3: are showing them in. You had a bunch of dirty cops.
- 52:53Speaker 3: Welke says there's no evidence of that. Trump says, try
- 52:56Speaker 3: looking at the tapes.
- 52:58Speaker 2: Welck.
- 52:58Speaker 3: One hundred and seventy two people did plead guilty to
- 53:01Speaker 3: assaulting police officers. Trump says, you know why they played guilty.
- 53:05Speaker 3: They were told they were going to jail for fifteen years.
- 53:08Speaker 3: They played guilty because they were frightened. They went down
- 53:12Speaker 3: and were usher it into the building. So no, all
- 53:17Speaker 3: that video, all those pictures that I remember seeing live
- 53:21Speaker 3: a people beating up cops, breaking windows, of climbing up
- 53:25Speaker 3: the side of the building, people trying to assault police,
- 53:30Speaker 3: threatening police, people looking for Congress people that they can
- 53:35Speaker 3: you know, and chanting to hang pants. All of that,
- 53:39Speaker 3: all of that we all of us made up. We
- 53:43Speaker 3: pretended it, we didn't really see it. All of that
- 53:46Speaker 3: is just make belief. Again. I don't know if he
- 53:52Speaker 3: believes it. I think at this point he does. I
- 53:55Speaker 3: think at this point he said it enough times that
- 53:59Speaker 3: he has convinced himself this was true, and he's got
- 54:03Speaker 3: enough conspiracy theory nutcases around him that he is not
- 54:11Speaker 3: convinced that this is the truth. That the whole January
- 54:16Speaker 3: sixth was dirty cops in the FBI. It's all conspiracy theory. Guys.
- 54:21Speaker 3: This is the president of the United States of America.
- 54:27Speaker 3: It disgusts me even to say that spreading conspiracy theories,
- 54:36Speaker 3: conspiracy theories that are blatantly false, and they contradicts what
- 54:41Speaker 3: we sew with our own eyes. He then goes on
- 54:51Speaker 3: and claims fought in the twenty twenty election, he went
- 54:53Speaker 3: by a landslide. It stolen votes, stolen this, and Walker says,
- 54:57Speaker 3: just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what
- 55:00Speaker 3: you're saying. Trump says, there's a lot of evidence. By
- 55:03Speaker 3: the way, by this point, he's red, red in the face.
- 55:05Speaker 3: I mean, you look at the video.
- 55:06Speaker 2: It's shocking.
- 55:07Speaker 3: How ready is He says, there's a lot of evidence,
- 55:11Speaker 3: There's a tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election
- 55:15Speaker 3: was rigged, and it's happening again. In California. They're cheating.
- 55:20Speaker 3: Notice how this is prep for the election later this year. Welca,
- 55:28Speaker 3: do you have evidence? Trump says, all I have to
- 55:31Speaker 3: do is look, Welca, that's not evidence. The local officials
- 55:35Speaker 3: acknowledge they are slow. Trump, they're crooked, just like you're crooked.
- 55:40Speaker 3: You're either crooked or stupid. And he gets up and
- 55:45Speaker 3: leaves the date of view right in the middle. It's
- 55:59Speaker 3: I mean, these guys that oak just like you're crooked.
- 56:05Speaker 3: Meet the press is crooked, she says, to be found
- 56:08Speaker 3: not crooked. And he says, really, you play right into
- 56:11Speaker 3: their hands. You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play
- 56:15Speaker 3: right into their hands. You know the elections of your
- 56:19Speaker 3: network knows they're rigged. You know I won in a landslide.
- 56:23Speaker 3: I got ninety four bad press. You've never presented evidence
- 56:31Speaker 3: that it was rigged. You have more evidence. There's more
- 56:34Speaker 3: evidence there. He goes on and on, and then ultimately
- 56:36Speaker 3: just gets up and leaves. He walks up after he's
- 56:40Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to get a face to be
- 56:42Speaker 3: that red. Maybe it's just a coloring on my screen.
- 56:49Speaker 3: AI God, All I can do is say, I told
- 56:55Speaker 3: you so. I did I told you so, and you
- 57:00Speaker 3: a lot of you gave me a really, really, really
- 57:03Speaker 3: hard time. But this guy's nuts. It's completely lost the plot. Anyway.
- 57:11Speaker 3: One of one of the Trumpet administration's big goals in
- 57:14Speaker 3: life is to stop immigration. And I know some of
- 57:20Speaker 3: you going no, no, no, no, no, just illegal immigration. No.
- 57:24Speaker 3: One of their big goal in life is to stop
- 57:27Speaker 3: legal immigration. In particular, they want to stop H one
- 57:32Speaker 3: B immigrants, and they are doing everything they can to
- 57:39Speaker 3: make that happen.
- 57:42Speaker 2: You know.
- 57:42Speaker 3: So, for example, they are inflating the wages the minimum
- 57:47Speaker 3: wage that an H one B employee can receive. Now,
- 57:55Speaker 3: this is clearly against the law. The law specifies early
- 58:01Speaker 3: in legislation, how H one B is supposed to work,
- 58:06Speaker 3: what the wages need to be. It's it's an average wage. Uh.
- 58:11Speaker 1: You know.
- 58:12Speaker 3: The wage rule is based on percentage of wages in
- 58:16Speaker 3: occupying occupational category an area required.
- 58:21Speaker 2: Under the rule. Under the rule, it's it's clear.
- 58:24Speaker 3: The numbers are clear depending on the entry level, depending
- 58:27Speaker 3: on the qualifications of the person. What that entry level
- 58:31Speaker 3: the first salary they get H one B needs to be.
- 58:36Speaker 3: And you know they are trying to Department of Labors
- 58:41Speaker 3: trying to artificially inflate those numbers to make it so
- 58:45Speaker 3: none of these immigrants qualify.
- 58:49Speaker 2: That's one second.
- 58:52Speaker 3: You remember that the Trumpet administration and Executive order saying
- 58:57Speaker 3: that in order to get an H one B yet
- 58:59Speaker 3: to pay one hundred one thousand dollars one hundred thousand
- 59:02Speaker 3: dollars payment requirement.
- 59:10Speaker 2: Well, the.
- 59:17Speaker 3: A court today or today, I think it was today,
- 59:19Speaker 3: ruled on this. Basically, what the court found was that
- 59:27Speaker 3: the one hundred thousand dollars fee is basically attacks attacks
- 59:34Speaker 3: to get this visa. And the quote says that only
- 59:37Speaker 3: Congress can can impose a tax. That a president cannot
- 59:43Speaker 3: simply tax Indians or H one B recipients because he
- 59:47Speaker 3: doesn't like them. You just can't do that the laws.
- 59:52Speaker 3: We are still a country of laws. So federal judge
- 59:56Speaker 3: vacated Trump's policy imposing one hundred thousand dollar fee to
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: employer's H one B visa applications. It violated the Federal
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: Administrative Procedure Act and the Constitution. According to the judge
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: found that the payment is a tax that Congress had
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: not delegated to the executive branch. Of course, this will
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: be this will be a this will be appealed by
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: the Trump administration might even go to the Supreme Court. Finally,
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: there is a bill now being introduced introduced by Chip Roy,
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: conservative House member, basically an attempt to end or to
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: dramatically restrict H one B visas and certainly restrict them
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: as a pathway to permanent residence. See look, H one
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: B v's is are not the best way to do this.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: Lotteries is a stupid ways to do it. But the
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: hostility of this administration towards legal immigrants is absurd and ridiculous.
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: These are the most productive immigrants we have. Again, I
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: don't have the statistics or any front of me, but
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: was it over fifty percent of all successful startups have
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: a immigrants who came in by an H one B
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: as a founder.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: You know, they.
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: Disproportionately work for successful startups and unicorns that they do
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: really really well in the future. They dramatically add to
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: the standard the living quality of life of Americans. Somebody says, oh,
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: this will reduce housing demand, maybe a little bit, but
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: it reduces wealth much more than it does housing. So
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: reduces the amount of jobs available. It reduces high paying
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: jobs for Americans. Every immigrant who comes here on H
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: one B visa creates more jobs than they take and
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: if we make it possible for more Americans the Ford homes.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: So no, it's this is it's it's just ridiculous, and
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: it's it's hostility. It's hostility to the other, it's hostility
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: to migrants, it's hostility to people who don't look like you,
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: come from a different culture than you. It's not it's
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: not solving any economic problem. It's creating more, many, many,
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: many more problems that are reducing the wealth of Americans.
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: It's reducing the quality of life of Americans. But politically
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: it plays great. There's so many people out there, resentful,
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: who hate, who were convinced that their failure in life
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: is the consequence not of their own decisions, not of
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: how they've lived their lives, but whatever problems they have
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: in life is the fault of some immigrants some other
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: persons taking the job away from them, were lowered they
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: stand up living, or raised the price of their house,
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: all of which is false. So I mean again, I
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: told you that this administration was never just about illegal immigration.
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: It was always about immigration in total. And by going
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: after immigrants, legal and illegal, you know you're devastating the
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: US economy. You're violating individual rights. You're turning this country
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: into something that it never was and shouldn't be. You're
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: being an American fundamentally, fundamentally at the heart of it,
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: it's un American. And when it comes to us stilly
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: wards people like you know, for example, towards Indians. What
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: else other than racism could it be. It's not because
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: they use welfare. They don't. They're very successful immigrants. It's
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: not because they don't assimilate. They do. It takes a
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: generation or two, just like all immigrants, but they assimilate
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: really well.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Anyway, it's just.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: The idea of you know, we gain nothing zeros zilch nada,
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: and we lose a huge amount by restricting immigrants. All right,
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: And you know, at the end of the day, which
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: really gad is a massive violation of rights. Rights of Americans.
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: Rights Americans to hire whoever they want, rights Americans to
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: associate with whoever they want. Right so Americans they invite
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: anybody they want into their home or into their business.
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: It's the rights of Americans that are violated, in addition
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: to the rights of the immigrants. Every single time you
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: go after illegal immigrants or legal immigrants like they're doing
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: right now, and that's what makes it so damn Unamerican.
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: All right, fascinating story today in the Wall Stet Journal.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: This is the title.
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: The world's most surprising economic success story is drum Roll
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: North Korea. It turns out that over the last three years,
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: North Korea has seen an economic boom. Now, the economic
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: boom has one primary source. It's not that communism suddenly works,
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: and it's not that North Korea has dramatically reformed its economy,
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: although in some segments of the economy it leaves people alone,
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: which allows for some economic growth. No, over the last
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: few years, as the article demonstrates, North Korea has been
- 1:07:13Speaker 3: the armory of Russia. It's been supplying Russia with artillery shells, missiles, equipment,
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: and that money has been plowed into building nice buildings
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: all over, you know, all over the capitol. The capital
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: has grown dramatically. Very little is effected in the countryside,
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: but the capital has grown dramatically. Nice shiny buildings, new
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: electric cars everywhere. Everybody has a smartphone made in North Korea,
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: stolen intelectual property, and so it's arm sales to Russia.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: But it's more than am sales. Remember, the North Koreans
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: sent troops, They actually sent the people to die. Something
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: like a third of all the troops sent to the
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Ukrainian front by the North Koreans were killed. Well all
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: those troops. North Korean government got a lot of money
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: for sending the troops. So yes, money has been flowing
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: in and China has been helping, giving loans, providing capital building.
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: But the real driver of economic growth in North Korea
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: is the war Ukraine. They will be they will be
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: horribly deflated when the war in Ukraine ends. So it's
- 1:09:10Speaker 3: it is a misleading title. Don't if you don't read
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: the story, but don't be confused by real wealth creation
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: and by being able to churn out a lot of
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: missiles and artillery shells as a form of wealth creation.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: As soon as the one Ukraine is over and Russia doesn't.
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: Need them anymore, this economy will collapse back onto itself.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: Suppose they've grown like three point seven percent in the
- 1:09:39Speaker 3: last year, and you know the capital has grown significantly,
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: just in size footprint. You can see that satellite pictures.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: It's also nighttime light intensity has tripled since twenty nineteen. Again,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: all of that, all of that is money coming in
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: from Russia into the government coffers for military assistance and
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: again for sending some of their own population, so in
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: their own population to the battlefield, to the front line
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: to die.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: So it's human sacrifice.
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: The North Korean government is basically selling their own people
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: into kind of a slavery and generating revenue that way.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, finally our human achievement stories. We
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: always want to end the show with some positive stories,
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: and some of you want me to actually start the
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: show with positive stories of me. That's a little bit
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: too much, I think, even for me. Anyway, here's story
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: number one on the positive front. Driver us trucks. Driverless
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: trucks is huge trucks. You know, most of fatalities in
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: car accidents accidents involving trucks. Driver Less trucks are much
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: safer than trucks with drivers. Driver Less trucks the driver
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: doesn't fall asleep, doesn't lose attention, doesn't speed. But we
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: now have them on the roads. PepsiCo PepsiCo Pepsi Company
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: software company but also seller of the Rito chips, has
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: forty one trucks on the road in Arizona. Texas and
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: Arkansas that are basically drivers. They're running on Arizona roads.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: It's the first major US consumer goods company to disclose
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: the real life, large scale use of autonomous trucks and
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: public roads. They're traversing bi see highways and local streets
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: as they transport pepsicos products from the Wall Seat General
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: article between bottling plants, storage facilities, and stores.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: Like Walmart and Dollar General.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: At least nine autonomous truck companies are operating in southern
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: and south central states, especially Texas, but many still have
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: human monitors at the wheel or are being used only
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: in limited tests.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: PepsiCo.
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: PepsiCo's operation using trucks outfitted with sensors and computers from
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: an autonomous truck company called Gattick is a step beyond
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: on power the technical hurdles being cleared by many small, lighter,
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: driverless passenger taxis from Waimo, Tesla and other companies. These
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: operations that we're running today are real, says Jim Farrell
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: to PepsiCo senior vice president's supply chain. They're running in
- 1:12:57Speaker 3: multiple markets in a live network, not like some experimental
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: test environment. PepsiCo has five more trucks on the roads
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: in Texas and one in Arkansas. The medium duty and
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: heavy duty box trucks are manufactured by Isuzu Motors collaborating
- 1:13:19Speaker 3: with Gaddaic in design and production. The truck has multiple
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: cameras mounted at the front and back, as well as
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: radar and light aw equipment that help determine what's on
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: the road. Inside the cab, there remains a steering role
- 1:13:34Speaker 3: in a conditioning as well as three iPad sized screens
- 1:13:38Speaker 3: showing the footage from the external cameras and the computer
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: vision system similar to the autopilot displays in Tesla cars.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: The truck never goes over the speed limit, It stays
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: in the slaine, never goes to sleep, and you know
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: it's probably limited by having to be charged because these
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: are electric, right, But the next generation of these trucks
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: won't have a steering wheel.
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: They won't even have a cab.
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: They'll continue to have air conditioning systems to cool the
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: onboard computers, but no cab, no steering wheel, And you
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: know this is going to be this is going to
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: be pretty amazing. Uh. PepsiCo has one of the largest
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: fleets of autono instructs in the US, but it has
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: other clients were then twenty of its trucks are currently
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: ferrying goods in the Toronto area for lob Law, Canada's
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: largest retailer. Uh and yeah, it's this is this is
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: amazing in many respects. This is big do an autonomous
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: taxis because this is going to have a bigger impact
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: on traffic accidents and human lives lost than the taxis
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: are going to have. According to PepsiCo, the driverlest tucks
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: are more reliable than human drivers. The on time arrival
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: performance from driverist trucks reach ninety nine percent after factoring
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: out uncontrollable variables like weather and traffic, and as we said,
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: incredibly safe. Driverlest trucks performed best when they shut a
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: back and forth in repetitive trips, for instance, a fourteen
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: mile trip between a Gatorade bottling plant and a storage facility.
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: That route has fewer variables compared with routes that have
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: more pickups and deliveries. When the driverless truck delivers the stores,
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: they may face moistues like congestion.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: And occupy docks.
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: So yeah, this is just the beginning, but it is
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: a revolution, and it's happening. It's happening all around us.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: It's happening every day. It's super exciting, super exciting. All right,
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: let's see where is this? Yeah, this is an interesting one.
- 1:16:13Speaker 3: So you know how when you get Parkinson's, if you've
- 1:16:18Speaker 3: seen people with Parkinson's, you start getting tremors. You can't
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: control them.
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: Maybe at the.
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: Beginning you can, but it's hard to control, and it's
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: hard to keep it still. Uh, and you know it's
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: it's it makes work really really hard, it makes concentrating
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: really really hard, and it's distracting. It's it's very difficult.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: It's very difficult to lift a cup of coffee. And
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: for many people, this is how Parkinson's disease starts. It's
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: not a dramatic collapse. It's least something small. You learn
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: to hide something twitching hand, It can no longer hold
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: a glass of water. And you know, these tremors incredibly
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: destructive to human life. There're ten million people worldwide that
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: live with Parkinson's that have a central trauma, and there's
- 1:17:28Speaker 3: another ten million they have something called the central trauma,
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: a separate condition that causes the same uncontrollable shaking without
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: the other Parkinson's symptoms. And you know, some medications help
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: until it doesn't and this surgery surgery in the brain.
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: But there's now a new treatment, a treatment developed an
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: Israeli company. It's spent twenty five years building this. It's
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: basically a sound waves that are guided by an MRI
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: focused on a precise spot deep in the brain. These
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: beams of sound waves converged in a single spot. They
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: create a small therapeutic lesion and the tremors stop. No incision,
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: no implant, no general anesthesia. On treatment day, the patient
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: heads is shaved so nothing interferes. Without the sound beams,
- 1:18:39Speaker 3: the head goes back naturally. Afterwards, they lie inside an
- 1:18:42Speaker 3: MRI machine which acts as the eyes of the entire procedure,
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: guiding the sound waves in real time and monitoring the
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: temperature of the target tissue with some millimediate precision. The
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: physician adjusts everything from the control group. The patient is
- 1:18:57Speaker 3: a week throughout and can tell the physician exactly what
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: they're feeling. Focused out. Your sound provides tremor control without
- 1:19:05Speaker 3: surgical incision, with minimal complications. For many patients. The tremor
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: relief is immediate and it lasts according to the data
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: of this company. You know, they it's maintained for at
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: least six years. Now, this is huge. It's huge. I mean,
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: imagine somebody who's constantly shaking having those tremors disappear. Anyway,
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: this treatment is now available. It's it's an Israeli startup.
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: There's been working on this and again it's uh, the
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: advancement in medicine just off the charts, the stunning. All right. Finally,
- 1:20:00Speaker 3: NASA has the X fifty nine aircraft. It's been developing
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: a supersonic aircraft right. Well, for the first time on Friday,
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: it flew faster than the speed of sound. Now, one
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: of the things that's unique about the X fifty nine
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: is that did not have a sonic boom, so it
- 1:20:25Speaker 3: flew at mark one point four without well, no, it
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: didn't fly. They expected to fly at one point four
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: in the next few days. But they flow at one
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: point one March. That's one point one times the speed
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: of sound with no sonic boom.
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:20:47Speaker 3: And it's getting ready for its uh you know, uh,
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: their planes first flight in October twenty eight, twenty twenty five.
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: They've made tremendous progress. But again, it flew one point
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: one for the first time over the speed of sound.
- 1:21:03Speaker 3: For the first time on Friday. Now it should we
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: should note the boom the private company flew the airplane
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: at supersonic speeds, what is it? A year ago? Almost
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: a year ago, also with no supersonic boom. Even though
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: the company is called Boom, it didn't do Boom. That
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: is Blake Show's company, and it beat NASA. But what's
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: exciting about all this is we now have multiple airplanes
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: they can fly at supersonic speeds, or we'll be able
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: to fly at supersonic speeds with no sonic boom that
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: can be used for commercial purposes. You know, within ten
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: suddenly fifteen years, we could see you real revolution, real
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: revolution in airplanes in commercial flight. The X fifty nine
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: is a centerpiece of NASA's Quest mission, which aims to
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: demonstrate quiet supersonic flight and help enable commercial supersonic flight
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: over land worldwide. These advancements will help travelers reach their
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: preferred destination faster, spending less time in the air. Of course,
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: again Boom is at the forefront of these developments, and
- 1:22:33Speaker 3: of course Boom is a completely private company, not like
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: unlike NASA. So another area driverless cars, traveless trucks, healthcare
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: another area where there's huge progress being made is supersonic
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: flight and I can't wait for that as much as
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: I travel. You know, the ability to cross the Atlantic,
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: across the Pacific, across the United States, you know, in
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: very you know, in very short times, it's going to
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: change travel completely, going to change travel completely, and it's
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: not going to be much more expensive. It's not gonna
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: be much more expensive, so it's going to be affordable fast.
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: It's gonna change solely. Business travel is going to change completely.
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: We're able to fly to London from New York, fly
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: back to New York same day. You know, it solves
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: a lot of jet lag issues when you don't have
- 1:23:30Speaker 3: to spend ten twelve hours in a plane.
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: It really is going.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: To shift and change the way we think about international travel.
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: So I'm excited and coast to coast travel, so I'm
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: super excited about that. All right, my friends, that is
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: the news for this Monday, June eighth.

- 1:29:40Speaker 3: with a two part question totally seventy dollars. Thank you, Liam,
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: very much appreciated. Liam says a Part one. We all
- 1:29:51Speaker 3: know that in the lead up to and enduring World
- 1:29:55Speaker 3: War two, average German citizens hated hated Jews and wanted
- 1:30:00Speaker 3: to see something done about it. But how many of them,
- 1:30:03Speaker 3: in their own minds were thinking, I wish they'd kill
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: them all? How many were likely to say it out loud? No,
- 1:30:13Speaker 3: they were surely thinking and saying more, you know, moderate
- 1:30:20Speaker 3: sounding things and talking about how Jews undermining German society.
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: They weren't thinking the genocide per se. They were just
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: enabling it. Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely right. Most people, I
- 1:30:36Speaker 3: don't think can bring themselves to think, yeah, kill them all.
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: I think that's something very few people can actually hold.
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: But when they're told to pull the trigg on the
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: machine gun, when they're told to watch them all into
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: the gas chamber, they don't have any problem in doing that.
- 1:31:04Speaker 3: So the they were conditioned by years and years and
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: years decades of educational programs that told them that they
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: must do their duty, that they must listen to authority,
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: that they know it's not think for themselves, and they
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: were conditioned. The Jews are animals, rats, the subhuman and
- 1:31:40Speaker 3: therefore they're killing is meaningless. Just like you kill rats,
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: you don't think twice about it. They shouldn't think twice
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: about killing Jews. Few of them would have actually, you
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: don't have asked promoted such a program. But once such
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: a program existed to annihilate the Jews, and too, they
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: were not going to resist it. There was nothing in
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: them that was capable of resisting it. They were they
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: had accepted the duty, that accepted, you know, the necessity
- 1:32:15Speaker 3: of this, and they they didn't question it, and they
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: facilitated and made it possible. And they were not silly
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: not going to rebel against it. Uh, I mean they were.
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: There were Nazis in the Nazi you know, there were
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: there were people in the SS, There were doctors, there
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: were scientists, they were the the the whole eugenics German
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: eugenics movement, which was heavily influenced by the American eugenics movement,
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: which were you know, absolutely happy with exterminating the Jewish population.
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: Most humans knew it and didn't resist it, maybe even
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: quietly supported it. And maybe we'll have a fight with
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: themselves after the fact. But while it was going on
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: they bought into it. What would be a better place
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: without the Jews? They convinced themselves, all right, not you
- 1:33:20Speaker 3: have a jogorithm. Is there more hate than love in
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: the world today, in America today, No, I don't think so.
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: You know, what you see on the online is hate,
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: but that's not the reality of day to day life.
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: They day life is about people who love their kids,
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: and love their spouses, and love their job, and and
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: and love you know, in some cases, you know, love
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: their friends and the next neighbors. I mean, there's a
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: lot of love and positivity in the world around us.
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: It's just the hate gets amplified. Hate is what sells,
- 1:33:56Speaker 3: and hate is what people use social media to express.
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: Because they could do that anonymously.
- 1:34:02Speaker 3: But in most people's day to day lives, it's about
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: it's about love, it's about positive values. James thoughts on
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: Neil degras Tyson. The left loves him, but he seems
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: like an airhead. I don't know if he's an airhead,
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: but he's very much lets ideology shape some of his
- 1:34:28Speaker 3: scientific beliefs, and he's very much he's very conventional. He's
- 1:34:33Speaker 3: very mainstream, particularly in defense of things like climate change.
- 1:34:39Speaker 3: But he's also, I think, on many issues, a good
- 1:34:42Speaker 3: science communicator, just.
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: Like what's his name called?
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: Sagan was an extraordinary science communicator, an extraordinary person duped
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: completely by climate change and the environmentalism more broadly. But
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: and I think Neil deGrasse Tyson is very similar to that.
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: He is.
- 1:35:06Speaker 3: Completely bought into the environmental agenda. But he is a
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: good science communicator. I don't think he's an ahead at all,
- 1:35:16Speaker 3: you know, and when it comes to communicating science, it's
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: not easy to do. See, you have to give credit
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: where it's due. But again, he's very much influenced by
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: I leftist ideology, and that's unfortunate. James Taylor does Trump
- 1:35:39Speaker 3: make up alternative realities and believe his own lies. Yes,
- 1:35:43Speaker 3: I think he does. Reality doesn't really have a standing
- 1:35:48Speaker 3: in his mind. He is a primacy of consciousness, primacy
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: of whim. He's a wim worshiper, and he convinces himself
- 1:35:59Speaker 3: his life is a true convinces themselves Eliza truth. By
- 1:36:10Speaker 3: the way, I don't know Neil degrass Tyson as well
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: as I know Kolsagan. Carl Sagan was exceptional. I mean
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: I loved his his TV show. But you know, even
- 1:36:23Speaker 3: with the environmentalist spin, he was really really good.
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: He was really really good.
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: Liam our status of today not trying to destroy the
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: mode of the world, just annoy the productive members of
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: society through taxes and controls without stopping the motive formally. Yeah,
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: I mean, it's very rare that anybody status intellectuals, leftists,
- 1:36:56Speaker 3: rightists want to stop the mode of the world, really
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: want that explicitly and hold that again, I don't think
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: you can actually hold that you want everybody to die.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: They hold it implicitly. They can't even admit to themselves
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: that that's what they want. And it's the fact that
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: they have by by the taxing and the harassing and
- 1:37:27Speaker 3: the regulating and controlling. But they can't hold it. I
- 1:37:32Speaker 3: want to stop, I want the word to stop, production
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: to stop. Science can alg you to stop. But it's
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: implicit in everything that they do. Sadly, but they're just
- 1:37:45Speaker 3: as bad as status have always been, the same as
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: status have always been, And it's just a question what
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: they can get away with. Happa Campbell, does consfluency make
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: people suedest and cool? That's why there are so many
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: sadists in Germany. There are so many sadists. I don't know. Look,
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: there's a sense in which consphilosophy doesn't make people X
- 1:38:18Speaker 3: CONS philosophy, it's it destroys your capacity to reason and
- 1:38:27Speaker 3: it to extend you think it seriously. It demotivates you
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: away from pursuing your own self interest, from happiness. And
- 1:38:38Speaker 3: then what impact that has on you psychologically is going
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: to vary widely. So cont impacts the right, Nazis, the left,
- 1:38:54Speaker 3: you know, communists and postmodernists. I mean, it all has
- 1:38:59Speaker 3: this kind of are in Kant but in terms of
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: somebody being a Sadist or not, that's a psychological response
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: to it. And I don't know them more sadists in
- 1:39:10Speaker 3: Germany than anywhere else. And I don't know the cons
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: philosophy is more financial in Germany than.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: Anywhere else today.
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: Again it's been the cons philosophy's impact on the world
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: today is through the intermediaries, the thousands of intermediaries between
- 1:39:27Speaker 3: content today, the philosophers and the intellectuals, the critics, the artists,
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: the communicators, the people who've just constantly so it don't
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: it's too simplistic to just blame everything on cont I
- 1:39:53Speaker 3: mean you have to be able to If you're going
- 1:39:55Speaker 3: to do that, you have to be able to make
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: the case. Like Lenna doesn't denominous parallels, but that's a
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: detailed case and he goes through all the intermediaries how
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: he got from Kan two. The nazis.
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: Not you have a jolgorithm.
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: Are people today so disminded they can't help but merge
- 1:40:22Speaker 3: into a group, They cannot conceive of independence. Well again
- 1:40:26Speaker 3: it's you've got to People are more complex than that.
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: In some areas of their life they are independent. Many
- 1:40:36Speaker 3: people are very independent in their career, for example, But
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: in certain areas of life they are disminded. They choose
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: not to use their mind, and that's where they gravitate
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: towards groups and towards tribes. So people are not People
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: are complex beings and they can be coponmentalized. But generally,
- 1:41:01Speaker 3: as you lose your capacity to reason, or as you
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: lose your will to reason, or as you stop using
- 1:41:10Speaker 3: your mind, you are now at the you know, basically
- 1:41:17Speaker 3: all you've got his emotions and women.
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: That's going to cause you to fail, and it's going to.
- 1:41:21Speaker 3: Cause you to look for some comfort someway, and the
- 1:41:24Speaker 3: tribe is usually the place in which you find comfort.
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: So tribalism is a response.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: To this minding.
- 1:41:32Speaker 3: Yes, but it doesn't mean that when people are disminded
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: the' disminded in everything. Look at all the progress we
- 1:41:39Speaker 3: talk about, all the human achievement that's going on. Somebody's
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: doing that, And it doesn't mean they're not pretty stupid
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: when he comes to politics, for example. But they have
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: a capacity to be independent and part of their life
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: right not you have a jagorithm do? A lot of
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: rich people think they have to be nasty to get
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: to the top, or be nasty once they.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: Reached the top.
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know that's true either one
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: of those. I know a lot of rich people, most
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: of them overwhelming A majority of them are not nasty,
- 1:42:13Speaker 3: either to get to the top or at the top.
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: I know a lot of people who've made I know
- 1:42:19Speaker 3: some billionaires, I know lots of millions. Multimillion is very
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: few and nasty very few. What are your thoughts in
- 1:42:32Speaker 3: Christopher Lang's critique of random objectivism. I'm not familiar with
- 1:42:36Speaker 3: Christopher Langes critique of random objectivism. Um, so.
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't looked into it.
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: So I'm happy to look into it and.
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: Have an opinion. But at this point I don't have one.
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: Send me a link to something he's written with he's
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: criticized objectivism, or video or something not.
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: You have your algorithm.
- 1:43:21Speaker 3: Is the point of altruism your own pain rather than
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: anyone else's benefit. Even if no one benefits, as long
- 1:43:28Speaker 3: as you are not happy, is that still altruism? Well,
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: the point is altruism is about sacrificing yourself. It's about
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: rejecting the pursuit of your own values in favor of
- 1:43:44Speaker 3: the other and the others. Use the other people. Now,
- 1:43:48Speaker 3: whether they actually benefit from what you're doing or not
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: is less of an issue. It's your intent and it's
- 1:43:56Speaker 3: the fact that you are worse off for it, which
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: is the issue. So altruism is self sacrifice for the
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: sake of another. And it could be the poor, it
- 1:44:14Speaker 3: could be the state, it could be it could even
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: be god right. But the point is you have to suffer.
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: And their benefit.
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: Now, the justification is always the good for the other.
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: But it's a false spetification because we know, for example,
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: that self interested people actually improve other people's lives more
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: than altruistic peoples. So at the heart of it, is
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: the rejection of self interest. At the heart of it
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: is the essential value and self sacrifice. It's Jesus on
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: the cross. It's the suffering. But if you're just suffering
- 1:44:59Speaker 3: because you're depressed, that doesn't count, right. What counts is
- 1:45:03Speaker 3: suffering for the sake of other people. That's what makes
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: you mall. So just suffering for its own sake that
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: does not make you all. It's somefing for the sake
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: of others that makes you all, According to alturism author
- 1:45:20Speaker 3: two part question, does the left one to restrict gun
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: ownership because this armed populations are easier to conquer, or
- 1:45:28Speaker 3: because they think people are children in society would function
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: better without firearms, or does their altruism recoil the idea
- 1:45:37Speaker 3: are being augustic enough to stand up to yourself with
- 1:45:40Speaker 3: deadly force. I think it's mainly number two. I think
- 1:45:45Speaker 3: they view people as irresponsible children that need to be
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: who are not responsible enough to have a gun. But
- 1:45:57Speaker 3: they also I think it's an altruistic coil against the
- 1:46:01Speaker 3: idea being, you know, of self defense.
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: And standing up for yourself.
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: I don't think for the most people on the left
- 1:46:12Speaker 3: it's about controlling the population. Some people I'm sure it is,
- 1:46:16Speaker 3: you know, the kind of the people who really think
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: about revolution and and and and turning America into socialist whatever.
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: But most leftists we are against gun, against guns. I think,
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: you know, look, here's here's some facts.
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: You know, murder rates in Europe are much much, much
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: much lower than the United States. They are in Japan
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: and South Korea. All those places have very very restrictive
- 1:46:47Speaker 3: gun laws. I mean, it certainly looks like if you
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: can pare countries that when you restrict gun laws, you
- 1:46:57Speaker 3: get less murders. Now, that's too simplistic of an argument.
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: I'm not making that argument, but I'm saying, why couldn't
- 1:47:07Speaker 3: somebody be a leftist who believes that if you a
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: strict gun right, if you strict gun ownership, people are
- 1:47:15Speaker 3: less likely when angry to pull out a gun and
- 1:47:18Speaker 3: shoot somebody. It's just harder to kill people. It's harder
- 1:47:23Speaker 3: to murder people if you don't have access to a gun.
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: Think about school shootings. Think about the guys who went
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: to the mosque. Their access to guns made it so
- 1:47:32Speaker 3: much easier. So I think it's a fact that if
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: you could somehow magically take all the guns away from
- 1:47:45Speaker 3: Americans there were no guns in private homes in America.
- 1:47:50Speaker 3: Moderates a plummet they would, whether that's a justification or not.
- 1:47:55Speaker 3: But you know, if you are utilitarian and what you
- 1:47:59Speaker 3: care about, what you care about moderates, then you would
- 1:48:05Speaker 3: be full gun control, an extensive gun control, not limited
- 1:48:12Speaker 3: gun contol extensive gun control.
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: And there's plenty of evidence from around.
- 1:48:17Speaker 3: The world that where there are fewer guns, there are
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: fewer motives and certainly fewer motives by guns. But it's
- 1:48:24Speaker 3: hard to replace guns in terms of thing to murder,
- 1:48:26Speaker 3: particularly going to murder a lot of people. It's hard
- 1:48:29Speaker 3: to do that with a knife or even with a car, right.
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: It, But a gun is easy.
- 1:48:37Speaker 3: So I think most leftists object because they view it
- 1:48:42Speaker 3: as a way of reducing crime, particularly motor But I
- 1:48:50Speaker 3: do think this idea of they don't trust people, and
- 1:48:54Speaker 3: this idea that there's something too egoistic about self defense
- 1:48:59Speaker 3: is definitely part of it, definitely part of it, and
- 1:49:04Speaker 3: for certain people, the idea of disarming the population so
- 1:49:08Speaker 3: you can control.
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: Them also as part of it.
- 1:49:10Speaker 3: But I don't think that's certainly not a majority of them.
- 1:49:21Speaker 3: Michael Is America's economic freedom levels and culture of individualism
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: marginally better than Western Europe or leaps and bounds ahead.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: I think at this point.
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: It's marginally better in certain respects that sleeps and bound
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: entrepreneurial activity primarily, but that's the main thing, and everything else.
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: It's just marginally better, partially because Europe is more individualistic
- 1:49:52Speaker 3: than it has been in its past, and partially because
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: we've descended.
- 1:49:56Speaker 2: We've descended, so we are not as good as we
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: used to be.
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: Stephen, didn't Israel's weekend attack on Iran require US assistance
- 1:50:12Speaker 3: such as mid air refueling? Did Trump approve the assistance? No,
- 1:50:15Speaker 3: it didn't, so there was no mid air refueling. The
- 1:50:19Speaker 3: United States did not assist Israel. From what I've read,
- 1:50:22Speaker 3: Israel has refueling tankers. It can do the refueling itself.
- 1:50:27Speaker 3: It doesn't have to. I mean, I think a major
- 1:50:30Speaker 3: attack with over one hundred air planes would need American assistance.
- 1:50:37Speaker 3: That didn't happen, although they were getting ready for one.
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: So it's also true that some of the attacks on
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: the Iranians, the planes launched their missiles from Iraqi air space,
- 1:50:51Speaker 3: so they had to travel less far. They didn't have
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: to travel all the way to Iran. And the other
- 1:50:58Speaker 3: thing to take into account is that Israel has modified
- 1:51:00Speaker 3: the F thirty five to be able to make the
- 1:51:03Speaker 3: round trip trip to Iran without refueling.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: That's an Israeli modification.
- 1:51:22Speaker 3: Justin, have you read Black Wave about the rise of
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: terroristic Islam? If so, do you think it contains a
- 1:51:30Speaker 3: bias against Israel?
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: I have not read it. No Black Wave.
- 1:51:35Speaker 3: I'll look into it. Interesting there would be a book
- 1:51:43Speaker 3: about the rise of terrorist Islam and yet a bias
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: against Israel. So that's interesting.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: I'll look into it. Thanks Justin.
- 1:52:03Speaker 3: Not you have jagorithm. Did Ran not realize how resilient
- 1:52:07Speaker 3: capitalism is. Take fans a thoroughly grew up, mixed economy
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: that doesn't allow employees to employees to fire people and
- 1:52:15Speaker 3: doesn't allow landlords to evict tenants.
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: Yet it remains a First World nation.
- 1:52:20Speaker 3: Yeah, but look to large Stent Bareley. It's all these
- 1:52:26Speaker 3: European countries have a big implicit subsidy from the United States.
- 1:52:31Speaker 3: One wonders what would have happened to France without the
- 1:52:34Speaker 3: United States? And one wonders what's going to happen to
- 1:52:36Speaker 3: France in the years to come. I do think Iinrand underestimated,
- 1:52:41Speaker 3: how you know, how long a mixed economy.
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: Can survive.
- 1:52:50Speaker 3: And even grow, how long a mixed economy can survive
- 1:52:53Speaker 3: and actually a mixed economy can grow economically. I think
- 1:52:58Speaker 3: she thought the mixture would implode much faster.
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: Than it really does.
- 1:53:06Speaker 3: So in that sense, I think, yes, she underestimated the
- 1:53:09Speaker 3: power of the free portion of the mixed economy to
- 1:53:15Speaker 3: keep it going. Wes, fifty dollars. Thank you for the sticker,
- 1:53:20Speaker 3: Really really really appreciate that.
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: Thank you, Wes.
- 1:53:24Speaker 3: All right, Mari Lean. Some in the chat seem to
- 1:53:26Speaker 3: think employers should be forced to hire Americans when they'd
- 1:53:31Speaker 3: rather hire an immigrant.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: Why do people think this.
- 1:53:34Speaker 3: It is the right of employers to offer jobs to
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: whoever they choose. Yes, well, because some people in the
- 1:53:41Speaker 3: chat are collectivists.
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: They're not individualists.
- 1:53:46Speaker 3: They don't hold individual rights as a primary They don't
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: hold the right of an employer to employee whomever he wants.
- 1:53:54Speaker 3: That is a fundamental right. It's the right to life.
- 1:53:59Speaker 3: It's it's an.
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: Issue of liberty.
- 1:54:02Speaker 3: The government has no job, no role in telling you
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: who you can employ unless the government can show the
- 1:54:09Speaker 3: employer employing this particular person violate somebody's rights, that is
- 1:54:16Speaker 3: somehow a national security threat. So they can bo criminals
- 1:54:20Speaker 3: and terrorists and carry in frixtious diseases. But that's about it.
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: The government just has no role in this, and to
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: argue otherwise is to be a status of a kind
- 1:54:32Speaker 3: right to say the state has some kind of obligation
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: through the American people and it must calibrate the economy
- 1:54:42Speaker 3: and calibate immigration and calibrate industrial policy or whatever to
- 1:54:46Speaker 3: do that.
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: But you know that's.
- 1:54:52Speaker 3: That is not America, and that is not the system
- 1:54:56Speaker 3: of government that I advocate for, and it sort of
- 1:54:58Speaker 3: system governing I think most of you you advocate for.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: I advocate for. Government's only job is the protection of
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: individual rights.
- 1:55:12Speaker 3: Uh so, yes, an employee has an absolute, unequivocal right
- 1:55:17Speaker 3: that I think is protected by the Constitution to hire
- 1:55:22Speaker 3: whoever they want, and this is recognized as such during
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: you know, really up until the Great Depression, up until FDL.
- 1:55:35Speaker 3: If you want to ask a question I see some
- 1:55:37Speaker 3: people asking questions in the chat, just put it in
- 1:55:39Speaker 3: a super chat and I will answer it. You can
- 1:55:42Speaker 3: do two dollars super chats, one dollar superchats. Just put
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: a dollar, NIX to it, and I'll answer it. Clark
- 1:55:50Speaker 3: thoughts on taking peptides. People are saying this is going
- 1:55:54Speaker 3: to change the world of health.
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.
- 1:55:58Speaker 3: I'm not taking any peptide, so I don't know. I
- 1:56:07Speaker 3: hope so I hope it will change everything, and that
- 1:56:11Speaker 3: my doctor will give me a list of peptides take
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: so I can lift to be one hundred and fifty.
- 1:56:15Speaker 3: That'll be cool, healthy, healthy, vigorous life to one hundred
- 1:56:20Speaker 3: and fifty. Clark, why is Trump trying to rescue Grisabela?
- 1:56:26Speaker 3: Just let Israel win? It's not that hard because he
- 1:56:28Speaker 3: wants to deal with you on. He wants to get
- 1:56:29Speaker 3: out of there. He wants he wants to declare victory
- 1:56:32Speaker 3: and come home. He wants he This war is a
- 1:56:39Speaker 3: drag on his popularity, on his reading. People don't like
- 1:56:42Speaker 3: him anymore, and he blames the war and he blames Israel.
- 1:56:46Speaker 3: It's all about his narcissism. Clark, Will is all finish
- 1:56:50Speaker 3: off you on or coward to Trump? I think that
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: probably coward to Trump ultimately, not completely. But I don't
- 1:56:58Speaker 3: think they'll finish off you. I think Iran will ultimately
- 1:57:02Speaker 3: be finished off by its own people. I think tone
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: people will ultimately overthrow the regime. It just is going
- 1:57:08Speaker 3: to take longer than it needs to. Arthur will Elon
- 1:57:13Speaker 3: must become the world's first trillionaire. Is this unbelievably heroic?
- 1:57:20Speaker 3: It looks likely that he will become the first trillionaire
- 1:57:24Speaker 3: given SpaceX as IPO.
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: I mean, it's heroic, unbelievably heroic.
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: I don't know. I think part of it is I'm
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: a little I'm a little wary of the valuation of SpaceX.
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: It seems a little exaggerated. I find hard to believe
- 1:57:45Speaker 3: that SpaceX is worth one point seven plus trillion dollars.
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: I don't like arguing with the market, so I'll leave it.
- 1:57:54Speaker 3: But the exact I mean, I think he's heroic, not
- 1:58:00Speaker 3: because he's going to be worth a trillion dollars, which
- 1:58:02Speaker 3: is a function of the market at any given point
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: in time. Is a roic because of all the productive
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: endeavors he is engaged in. Arthur, are you going to
- 1:58:14Speaker 3: respond to Paul Krugman's attack on jiff beezus?
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: Yes, probably I will.
- 1:58:24Speaker 3: Make a note of that. That would be a good
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: one to respond to. Thanks, Arthur Stephen. I recently finished
- 1:58:35Speaker 3: reading The Brothers Karamasa bay Devkvsky.
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: Have you ever heard it? Thoughts A long time ago?
- 1:58:39Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean Dostoevsky writes some of the
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: best novels in human history. Powerful, engaging, thought provoking, and
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: philosophically depressing, corrupt and evil. I mean Dostkovsky ultimately comes
- 1:58:58Speaker 3: out on the side of religion and anti human reason
- 1:59:02Speaker 3: and anti human agency, I mean, anti human ability to
- 1:59:07Speaker 3: through rational thinking, you know, create a happy, happy world.
- 1:59:14Speaker 2: A happy existence.
- 1:59:15Speaker 3: So but he's one of the greatest authors in human history,
- 1:59:19Speaker 3: but incredibly depressing. Stevens has also recently read Weathering Heights
- 1:59:25Speaker 3: by Emily Bronte.
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: Have you ever read it, thoughts? I have not. I
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: have not read it.
- 1:59:30Speaker 3: I think I watched the movie or TV series, but
- 1:59:32Speaker 3: I have not read the book. Sorry, Yeah, you mean
- 1:59:36Speaker 3: busy reading the classics. That's great, congratulations. It's objective ism
- 1:59:42Speaker 3: only a philosophy or also a movement. I mean it's
- 1:59:45Speaker 3: it's a philosophy, and there's a movement that's built around
- 1:59:50Speaker 3: the philosophy, but it's it's primarily a philosophy, and I'm
- 1:59:54Speaker 3: not sure there is a movement yet. The elements of
- 1:59:57Speaker 3: a movement. There is the beginning of a movement, but
- 1:59:59Speaker 3: I'm not sure there is a movement yet. We're just
- 2:00:01Speaker 3: too small for now. But yep, had a great matches.
- 2:00:10Speaker 3: How was your time in New York City? Nixon four?
- 2:00:13Speaker 3: I had a great time in New York. Uh. You know,
- 2:00:15Speaker 3: it's a great city. Uh, it's it could be greater,
- 2:00:18Speaker 3: but it's it's a great city, uh.
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: Mom, Donnie uh.
- 2:00:23Speaker 3: And and all the people who tried to destroy it
- 2:00:25Speaker 3: will probably not be successful. Went to the opera, went
- 2:00:30Speaker 3: to the Probably Museum of Art, went to the Frick
- 2:00:33Speaker 3: the Frick Museum of Art, both fantastic. There's a great,
- 2:00:37Speaker 3: really really really interesting exhibit of Raphael painting and mostly
- 2:00:42Speaker 3: drawings of Rafael preparatory drawings for his paintings, which was amazing.
- 2:00:52Speaker 3: So yeah, it was it was a great trip. Went
- 2:00:59Speaker 3: to some good rest restaurants. I gotta see Jeffrey who
- 2:01:03Speaker 3: we went together to a three star Michelin restaurant which
