  Speaker 1: I hope everybody is having a fantastic week. All right.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I just actually got off a interview with Dave Rubin,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: having been on Dave Rubin's show in uh several years,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and I think I I think I geologically we've drifted
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: apart quite a bit. Some of that came out in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the interview. Quite a bit of it came out in
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: an interview. It'd be interesting, so that that'll probably drop
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: late in the month probably, I think, he said October
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth, So towards the end of the month, you'll
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: be able to see that interview. I hope you check
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it out and tune in, comment and do all the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: things that need to be done in order to elevate
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it and have him invite me back. All right, let's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: see we have Yeah, let's just jump in. Let's just
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: jump in with news for today. Before we get to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Charlie Cooks story in Israel, I do want to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: just give an update. I mean, there's these negotiations that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: happening in Egypt right now. And I think I was
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: pretty negative about them yesterday, but reports coming out of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the negotiating a fairly positive in a sense that Israel
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there is a optimistic They seem to be optimistic, cautiously optimistic,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that they will be a deal done this week, that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: hostages will be released next week, That Israel will not
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: retreat from the entire Gaza strip, it will maintain control
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: over fifty percent of it. It will basically have encircled
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: all of the places where Ramas will still be around.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You know, who knows, Maybe maybe this all something good
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: will come of this deal after all. At the very least,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: let's hope that the twenty live hostagees are released and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: then after that we can quibble about the rest. But yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: if they're released. Of course, is also believe releasing a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of hundreds of terrorists, but at least they will
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: get they will get their people back, and it sounds
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: like not give up too much of a strategic position
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in Gaza. As the rest of the deal is implemented,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the disarming of Ramas and the imposition of an interim administration,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: plus the entry of an international some kind of international force.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: There's never been in the Middle East. An international peacekeeping
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: force that has been very effective that I can think of.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I can't think of any the ones in southern Lebanon
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and being pathetic ones in a sin ideas that have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: been pathetic. So I'm not sure how good this international
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: peace keeping force will be, but you know, we'll give
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it a chance. We'll see how it develops. We'll see
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what happens. But it does look like people expressing themselves
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: positively coming out of the I guess first day, first
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: couple of days, first day of negotiations there, it's all
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that who's who in the Middle East is down there, right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You've got you've got seeing people from Turki and Kata
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Kata prime minister, and you've got Yuei people. You've got
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of course Americans, You've got the Israelis, you've got the Ramas,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you've got Egyptians and then uh h h putting out
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the wood. We'll see, we'll see how it all goes.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Let's see, all right, there's this a news story about
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Charlie Coke and that Candice owner has made a big
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: deal about and candas as much as I keep showing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you clips where she's like nuts and completely insane and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: completely a wacko. People, massive numbers of people are following her,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and she is incredibly influential and people pay attention to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what she says, and and it's like everybody's like, oh,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Candace says, but as if she's a legitimate voice. But so, anyway,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Candace has been on this thing about Charlie Coke was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: really killed, not by this kid that they arrested, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: he's really killed by these Raelis. And he was killed
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: by the Israelis because Charlie was pivoting a turning point
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: usay away from Israel. He was becoming more anti Israel,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and that's why these Raelies had him kill or the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Jews in America had him killed, or somebody like that
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: had him killed. Anyway, that's the story Candice is pitching.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And the other day, I guess the day before yesterday,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: she had a text messages from Charlie because everybody's saying, look,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: but Charlie was unbelievably pro Israel, and they brought us
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this letter he wrote to NITANIAO, and they made a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: big deal out of how pro Israel Charlie Coke really was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And so she as this text message that somebody gave
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: her a text conversation between a number of different people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in Charlie about his the fact that Charlie had just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: lost I guess, a two million dollar donation from a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Jewish donor who was insisting that Charlie Cooke disinvite techer
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Causon from the Turning Point USA conference and insisting that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Charlie condemned kind of the anti semitism of Tucker Cosson.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And basically Charlie Cooke was saying, no, I won't do it,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to do it, and he was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: suggesting that he was going to be less pro Israel
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in the future, that he was stepping back, that all
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: this pressure was ridiculous, and and so on. And initially
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: when she came out of this, a lot of people said, oh, fake,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this is fake, this is all made up. But Turning
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Point USA is actually confirmed that these text messages are
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: actually real, and that Charlie Cooke indeed did say all this,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: He did lose the contribution from the Jewish donor, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was indeed moving to distance himself somewhat from the kind
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of pro Israel perspective, lobby whatever you want to call him. No, no,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of a far reach to go from
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: there to the mossade kill him with zero evidence. But
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know, Owen is Candice Owen will take whatever victory
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: who she can get, and she will pat herself on
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the shoulder and show see, I was right. I was right.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But but here's the interesting thing I think about all
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of this, and that is, I mean, this shows I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: think the extent to which Charlie was uh had been
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was was corrupt by the notion of a big tent.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And and this is true of the of the right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: More more broadly, the fact is that in spite of
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the fact that Tucker Cousin is not crazy and conspiratorial
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and clearly antisemitic uh and affluting with with Holocaust denial
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and pro Nazi sympathies and all of this stuff, and
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Candice is is even beyond that. In spite of all
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: of that, the reality is that the right, the American right,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: has not you know, flushed them out, has not rejected them,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: has not turned their back on them. That they have
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: big enough audiences and enough support within the right, the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: American right, that leading figures in the American right, including
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Charlie Cook and the other people who appeared on stage
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: at the Turning Point USA conference did not feel embarrassed
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: or did not feel like they were it was problematic
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: for them to be sanctioning Tecker CAUSA. And indeed, many
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: of these people, including many politicians, are happy to go
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: on Tucker Cousin's show and and and use his platform.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe a little bit more reluctant with with
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: with caniss On, but even Canison is not being shunned.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They are part of the right. They are part of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this movement, and that is that you tell you what
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you need to know about the right. And a lot
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of them will say, yeah, I disagree with techer Calson. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I used to turn antisemitic. It's inappropriate, it's not good.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say anything negative
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: about him. I'm not gonna go after him, and I'm
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna de platform him, and I'm not gonna not
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: go in his platform. And you know, I'm not gonna
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: do anything about it. I'm going to sanction him. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: when you sanction a somebody who's become a monster like
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a Techer Callson, you are responsible for the consequence of that,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: for the consequence of promoting this kind of ideology and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the direction that the right has taken as a consequence
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of that. So the modern right, the Maga right, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's I think one of the mega completely embraces
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the Techer cults of the world. They embrace the Candice
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Owens of the world. Anti Semitism is just part of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: their agenda. And yeah, okay, we you know, some on
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the right will distance themselves, don't want to be associated
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: too much, but not so much as to deplatform them
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: or reject them. They want the big umbrella. They want
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the big tent. And from my perspective, when evaluating the right,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: when evaluating a turning point, and one of part of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the evaluation is who do they who do they invite
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to speak? Who are the people who speak at their conferences?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Who are the people are part of their big tent?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And given the tech of calls and is part of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that tent when I ask they evaluate and one should
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: judge right, I'm big on judging. Judge, judge, judge. I'm
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: very judgmental. You should be very judgmental to your life,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: your values, your future. And the right is really really,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: really bad and I'm glad that. I don't have a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: lot of people on my chat anymore saying you're on
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: we need to be friends with the right, we need
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to be friendly with these people, we need to associate
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: with them, we need all this stuff. No, no, we don't.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: We're different. We don't associate with antisemitic you know, freaks
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: who think demons are scratching them in the end of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the Night Oho demons invented nuclear weapons. I think Tucker
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Coulson believes that we don't associate with complete nutcases, have
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with them. I don't want to be
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in that tent. Talk about big tents. I just noticed
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a photo in an x on Twitter of the Smith,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Dave Smith, the libertarian Dave Smith. The meeting meeting with
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Nick foyntis there's another great meeting of the minds or
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the lack of And this is exactly it, right, this
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is exactly who you'd expect to be teaming up, the antisemitic,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: anti thinking, anti mind wing of I don't know the right,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: call them the right, and we I anybody I represent
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: at least this show not part of that, not part
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of that. We're not part of that. That those tents,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we're not part of any of those. Oh I like
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that z Racer calls it meeting of the mindless. That's good.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Meeting of the mindless, that's good. So we don't belong
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to that tenth. We don't want to be under that umbrella.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'd rather stay small and principled, small and independent, small
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and not sanctioned evil. Not sanctioned evil, because the reality
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is I know, I understand enough of objectivism, enough of reality,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: enough of life to know that the only party of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the benefits from associating with evil is evil. The any
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: party of the benefits of associated with the mindless are
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the mindless. Any people who benefit from the associated with
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the soulless are the soulless. We benefit nothing, We only lose.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we're small. Yep, we don't have that much influence.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: But associating with those creeps wouldn't give us influence anyway,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So yep, here we are anyway.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah Cook, Charlie Cook would not denounce Tucker Carlson and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: more of my disagreements.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: With Charlie Cook and the reality of turning points us
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: say as a big tent that ultimately ultimately is going
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to have bad outcomes, bad consequences. All right, let's see.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: So I'll just add this for years, decades. Really, I've
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: been telling Israelis, don't count on those evangelicals. Beware, beware.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: They're your friends right now, but they might not be
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in the future. And they can shift on our whim,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: because the whole philosophy is based on whim. Everything they
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: do is based on whim. They're religionists, their faith based religionists.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: They support Israel because it's they interprets on passage in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: some texts, some ancient texts, are suggesting this is what
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they should do that can shift tomorrow. Israel is much
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: more isolated than it knows because it has a real
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: potential of losing the right, the evangelical right, the religious right.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, one other thing that supposedly Charlie was
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: contemplating in his final days was converting to Catholicism, Catholicism
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: being the more intellectual side, if you will, of Christianity. Catholicism, uh,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: giving Christianity more structure and more of an intellectual bent.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And so many, so many of the leaders of the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: New Right, so many of the leaders of the New
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Right our Catholics, and not born Catholics, but converts to Catholicism.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting, really really really interesting. So I yesterday,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: as we talked about yesterday, yesterday was the second anniversary
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of October seventh, of the massacre, the just the horror
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of the rape and pillage and everything else. It was yesterday,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and one of the most you know, horrific things that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: was going on yesterday, literally yesterday was all the pro
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Hamas demonstrations and protests out there. I mean really stunning
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and shocking, not surprising, but shocking, massive protest in New
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: York City with a huge Palestinian flag, with large numbers
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of people marching in New York City, not to condemn
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the rape and the slaughter, but celebrated to show support
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: for perpetrators. I mean, imagine after two years, after nine eleven,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: you would have marches in New York celebrating pro Taliban
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: po Kaida marches pro the dropping of the Twin Towers,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and you had this in New York. You had at
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a number of universities. I saw another one outside of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: King's College, London. You know, this is the place where
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I was attacked by TIFA and the Palestinians when I
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: spoke there and they won't let me back on campus.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I can't go speaking college anymore because somehow I'm at
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: fault for the fact that I was attacked anyway, Key's College,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: October seventh. I mean college students, university students in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: West celebrating murder and rape. I mean, this is kind
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: of new, This is kind of new, and I don't
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: know how you even deal with this. How do you
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: even deal with this? There is no will in the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: West to confront Islam. There's no will in the West
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: to confront these people. I mean, if we dealt with
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven properly, Saponi Kamas would be an active
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: treason because Tramas would be late well it explicitly as
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: an enemy of the United States. But you know, we
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: never dealt with it properly. Still don't deal with it properly.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Still don't identify Hamas as a Islamist organization, as a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: basically religious organization, as an organization motivated by an Islamist religion.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: We don't blame Islam for this enough. There's a pole,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Harvard Harris's pole that came out today shows that half
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of a gen Z in the United States, half of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: gen Z in the United States support Hamas over Israel.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Millennials support Hamas over Israel, almost all of them. Young
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: people oppose the peace plan now because it's Israel. We'll
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: have to compromise too much, believe me, not for that reason.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: A huge number of gen Z and millennials oppose Hamas
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: releasing the hostages. I mean, think of the inhumanity of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: just the sheer evil of these people. This is true,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: by the way, and in Canada as well. I don't
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen polls in Europe, but I suspect it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: not that different in Europe as well. I mean, this
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is really disgusting. Half of students at our universities Hamas supporters,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and having seen the videos coming out of October seventh,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: because you can't avoid them everywhere online, this tells HAMA
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: supporters talk about nihilism. That is true that most voters
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: continue support Israel over Hamas and think comes should release hostages.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: That's because most voters are most people of you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: non gen Zs and millennials or non gen Zas, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you know, almost half of them. It's it's pretty scary.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: It's pretty scary, all right. That's where we are in
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: terms of October seventh and in terms of Israel, all right,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I want to say something about illegal immigrants and ice
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and all of this. I mean, I get a lot
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of people saying should in favor of illegal immigration. You're
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you're in favor of of of not depoting them, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you know, surprise priest, And I'm in favor of anybody
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: who comes to this country and works. I am in
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: favor of people being left alone if they are, if
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: they are not criminals. I believe in the government staying
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: away from businesses and the business of telling businesses who
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: they should employ and who they shouldn't. I don't care
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: if you're here illegally. I don't consider immigration law that important.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: It's okay, a law, you broke it, Okay, slap on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the wrist, big deal. I you know, I often say
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm an illegal driver. I break the law because I speed.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I sometimes even park in places where you're not supposed
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to park. And okay, I accept the fact that if
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a cop finds me, and they often do, I'll get
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a fine and I'll get the slap on the wrist.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Immigration law is not a law where there's a victim.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: If you violate the law, you haven't violated anybody's rights,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not I don't get excited about laws where there's
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: no victim. Laws should be to protect rights. If rights
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: are not being violated, why do you care. I don't
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: care if you cross the border illegally. Now, if you're
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a gang member, go to jail, throw away the key.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: If you're committing you know, crimes, there are victims, rights
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: are being violated. Throw them in jail, or deport them
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: or whatever. They put them down the antarctica. As far
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: as I'm concerned, throwing the key. But if you cross
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the bat because you're trying to make a better life
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: for yourself and your family and your kids and your
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: then you know there's a sense in which you're a hero.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: What is more noble? What is more courageous than taking
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: on real risk and and and being willing to go
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: against the crowd in order to make your life better,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: in order to improve your life, to improve the opportunities,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: remb opportunities for your kids. So these are not bad guys,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: they're not bad people. They're now all criminals that are
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: rounded up and put in detention facilities and then many
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of them deported back to the hell hose, from which
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they came, which is a massive injustice, massive injustice. So yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm much more on the side of the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that I am on ICE. Who are these
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: ICE thugs the government cops embolded by a police state
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to go roam around looking for suspicious people who might
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be here illegally because none of us where are illegal? Badge?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And how forehead? I mean I just saw a senior
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: person at ICE saying, yeah, we look for things like,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: are you nervous around you know, ICE offices? When you're
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: driving and you see an ICE vehicle, does your grip
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: on the steaming role get really tight? Do you go white?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Do you sweat? Are you afraid? And that's enough? That
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is enough for them to stop you sometimes to take
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: your window and drag you out of your car. I mean,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: that's not the rule of law. That is a disgrace.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: That is giving goverment. Aren't we believers in limited government
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and and government that has a few powers. That is
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: giving government so much power, the power to stop anybody
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they think look suspicious. Who gets nervous around cops? I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: mean I would get nervous around ICE. They're fully armed,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you know, they look intimidating the big guys. They're wearing masks.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I don't like being around people who are wearing masks,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: particularly if they've got guns. So yeah, I think ice
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: is the enemy, not a friends. I am anti police states.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I'm anti giving the police huge amount of power, for example,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to stop anybody they feel is suspicious. I mean, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: want to go after gang members, want to go after criminals,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: go for even then you need some reasonable reason to search,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: disease to rest, to interrogate. I mean typically cops have warmants.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: They can't just drag you away. I mean, I don't
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: understand what country we live in A van and on
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: mark van can stop and people can jump out of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the van and drag you into the van and shoe
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you away, flash and badges. I mean, that's not America.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: That's not a country of the rule of law. So
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: reasonable suspicion, there is no such thing. Get a womant. So,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they want, they can find find everybody
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they want to go after people who work, find everybody
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: who's got who's using a fakes or security number, and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: track them down and arrested. That's not what they're doing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They're just going to work places and assuming I mean
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the extent to which what is going on in American
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: streets today, in post London, Chicago and LA and other places,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the evil that ICE represents is hard for me to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: articulate the extent to which it is evil. It is wrong,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: it is bad. And I'm not even talking about the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: American citizens that they accidentally kidnap, or the or the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: legal residents, the legal immigrants that they accidentally kidnap, just
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the whole notion of these roaming bands of police. And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: again I I do not accept, do not accept, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care the threats that they get. I do
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: not accept it. In a civilized country, police should ever
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: wear masks. The face of law enforcement should always be visible.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's my position on ICE. I just wanted
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to make sure nobody was confused and my position in
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, as if I haven't said enough over the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: many many years I've talked about this about it, but
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of new people. I want it
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to be clear. I don't resent illegal immigrants, don't have
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: any problem with illegal immigrants if they're not criminals. Welcome
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: now Trump, of course, in order to protect his precious Ice,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: because they can't protect themselves obviously wants to send in
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the military, the National God in order to do that,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: we now have Texas National Gods in Illinois, and as
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: well as nationalizing the Illinois National Guard and then deploying
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it to the streets of Chicago. Again, this is not
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: They're not there to stop crime. They're there to protect
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: ice from being harassed by people who don't like them.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So we're sending National Guard from one state into a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: different state against the wishes of the governor of the state.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Something very wrong about all of that. Very wrong. I mean,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: pitting states against states. I mean it really is again
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: an American despicable against federalism. The whole idea of federalism
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: really is bad. And then you know Pritsko who's the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: governor of Illinois, and Johnson who's the mayor. And I
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: have no sympathy for Mayor Johnson, who is a nutty leftist, horrible,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: evil bastard who you know, just as making Chicago worse
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and worse. Of course, Pittska is just a standard corrupt
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Illinois Illinois governor. He might not be as corrupt as
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: previous one because he's already rich. He's corupted intellectually for sure.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So I have no sympathy for either one of these guys.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: But there is this thing they don't want. They don't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: want National Guard in this stage. So Trump suggested they
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: should both go to jail. They should both be in jail.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: That's the rhetoric, you know, And this is this is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the elevation and the the the the you know, constant
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: constant playing on this theme, which is you need to
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: arrest of political enemies. We need to put them down,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: we need to shut them, shut them off. This is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: this is like a wall, you know, in in Texas.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: The Attorney General in Texas is just to release a
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: letter he says, I'm launching undercover operations to infiltrate and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: uproot leftist terrorst cells in Texas. Leftist political terrorism is
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a clear and present danger. They can be no compromise
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: with those who one is dead. Now, who are these
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: leftist terror cells? I mean a leftist killed Charlie Cook.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And I think it's it's highly likely that the guy
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: who killed Charlie Cook was motivated by a leftist ideology.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: We'll see part of a leftist terraceell We've seen no
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: evidence of that, no rumors of that, no leaked info
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: on that. You'd think that if there was such a thing,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it would be all over the place. The rhetoric on
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Republican side, they're going to war and that's what
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: they want. They want to go to war. They want
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to go to war with the left. And you know
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the existence of leftist violent terra cells, I mean, Antifa exists.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I know because they attacked me, so I know they exist.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: So the story that the left has there's no such
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: thing as antifa as bs, but attivas Pamelli in university
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: towns is primarily focused on the university is it's mostly
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: pretty much amateur hour. These are not sophisticated terrorist cells.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: To the extent that they're violent, they should be shut
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: down and they should suffer the consequence of engaging in violence.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: But my suspicion is that Ken Paxton, the Attorney General
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: of Texas, is much more likely to use all this
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to go after these political opponents, whoever they may be,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and to shut them down. And generally, what we're seeing
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: is a general attitude among the right right now to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: try to silence their political opposition, intimidate them, marginalize them,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and silence them. So not engage in actually finding criminals,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: people who are going to use violence, political violence, but
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: actually shutting them down because they have opinions you don't like,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: which is what all this is. I mean, political violence
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: right now in the United States is a graph out
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: there is down. It's not that high suddenly, no ie near.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It was in the seventies up until this year, up
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: until twenty twenty five is dominated by right wing violence.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: This year is dominated by the left wing violence, but
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: there's not that much of it. And yet the right
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: is flipping out and behaving like what they really want
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to do is shut down political opposition, not violence, not
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: terror cells, real terrorists. I mean, did they do this
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: with the with the Islamists who are really had to ourselves?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Where were they in those days? Now they're looking after
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: they're looking for cells that don't exist. So, yeah, there's
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: an ideological battle in America and there's a lot of
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: really evil people on the left on the ideological battle.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And what the right wants to do is skip over
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the ideological battle part of it and just go right
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: for the jugular, just go right after them, and they
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: don't have to engage in political violence. They can just
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: engage in state violence against their opposition, and so many
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: will cheer them on because hey, as long as it's
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: against the left, we're all for it. So we talked
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: about we talked about CBS, Barry Weiss and the Free
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Press being bought by Paramount and being integrated into CBS,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and of course Barry Weiss is going to take this
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: leadership position within the news organization at CBS. Well, you
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: can imagine that the people at CBS are not very happy.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, here they are in the mainstream media positions.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: They've been leftists their entire lives. The network has been
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: leftist for decades and decades and decades. I don't think
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: it's ever been non leftist. And suddenly new ownership that,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: by the way, supposedly promised them no real big changes,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: motivated by politics, they say. And now suddenly they have Arry,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: who they consider, crazily enough, somebody away on the right,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: as they boss, clearly coming in with an agenda. She
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: had ten points, and they are pissed off. They are
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: very upset. They are very upset. They're complaining that Barry
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: has zero news experience free Press. She built something out
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of nothing, She created that experience. They are, you know,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: they're accusing her of being somebody who puts out propaganda. Yeah,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: talk about who puts that propaganda. So yeah, I mean
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the people over there are not taking this lightly. They
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: are freaking out. They're upset, and it'll be interesting to
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: see how many people actually ultimately leave the network, right,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, part of this that's going to affect them
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: immediately is barriers proiso. You know, most of these leftist
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: networks are poor Palestinian and the coverage reflects that. So
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how what kind of impact
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: she has on the coverage of the Middle East at CBS.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: And then I expect that if they don't quit in masks,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they will be significant layoffs at CBS. I mean, the
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: status quo is gone. Things are being shaken up. This
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: is uh, this is not going to hold. You know,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: CBS staff are worried about credibility. They have no credibility,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: at least not by anybody objective. I hope they maintain
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: uh their reporting capabilities and the Barry beefs that up.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: But remember Barry Weiss is, you know, probably on most
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: issues Sena sena left, maybe some issues center right, but
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: she's a she's not a crazy right wing on anything.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: But they are so intolerant the left is at the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: mainstream media that it Barry Weiss represents a threat to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: everything they stand for. Yeah, flipping out, this is good.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like them flipping out. All right,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about economics. We're living through
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: some really weird times. It's really if you look at
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: financial markets, it is very strange. I mean, gold just
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: cossed four thousand dollars an ounce for the first time ever.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Why why are people willing to buy gold at over
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: four thousand dollars an ounce. It's not because of inflation.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Gold has gone up way more than inflation over the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: last few years, and suddenly, over the last nine months,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: way more than inflation. Now supposely a lot of central
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: banks are buying gold instead of buying dollars. And indeed
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the value of the dollar has gone down, which is,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: if you remember, the opposite of what typically happens when
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you raise tariffs. When you raise tariffs, the value of
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: your currency usually goes up. So the dollar has collapsed
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: since Trump got elected, the dollars down more than ten percent.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: That's huge, and by the way, that's everything important. Being
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: more expensive for you, whether you have tariffs or not,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: immediately more expensive by ten percent because your dollars are
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: buying less. So the dollar's gone down, that's part of it.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: But the doll's gone down by ten percent versus other currencies.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: But gold is up fifty two percent fifty Why part
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: of it's the dollar, part of its inflation. Those two related.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: But what else is going on? And this is where
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: it gets really bizarre because I've always said gold is
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: really the hedge against the end of the world. But
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: if you look at the stock market, it doesn't look
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: at stockwok believes this end of the world. Stockwoke get's
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: doing gooat and you know it's up what fifteen percent
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: this year? There's INP five hundred. It was up twenty
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: five percent last year, was up twenty five percent a
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: year before that. I mean, the stock market is doing
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: phenomenally well. So what is gold protecting us against the
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: dollars not collapsing? Not yet? Gold is a leading indicator
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: of the dollar collapsing, of leading indicator of massive inflation
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: fifty two And why would the dollar collapse? And if
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: the dollar collapses, how's the stock markeet so high? That
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Inflation is much higher than reports, right, No,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think inflation is high. Inflation is the reports
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: of inflation is pretty accurate. So I don't think the
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: inflation numbers are wacky. I don't. I think the dollar
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the dollars down because people don't want to hold dollars
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: out there in the world because they don't trust this administration.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: They have lost their appetite to invest in the United States.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: They don't want to buy American US government bonds because
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the government is out of control in terms of in
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: terms of debt, and people don't trust. They do not
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: trust this administration. AI productivity gains are not they don't
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: exist yet. A lot of promise but no productivity gains.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: And AI productivity gains which suggest that dropping the price
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: of gold not an increase in the price of gold.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: The dollars should become more valuable your productivity in the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: United States because of AI skyrockets. So look, you know
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you it's hard to explain markets. Markets do what they do,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to explain investor behavior. But here's the
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: reality I think of what is what I think is
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: going on. People are worried about the global economy, they're
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: worried about the US economy, and they're expressing that wai
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: by buying gold. Gold is, you know, the the ultimate
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: hedge against end of the world. As I've said many times,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: it protects you against inflation, but that's already priced. It
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: protects you against real chaos, and there's real possibility of
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: real chaos. I mean, we don't know what the Chinese
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: are planning for Taiwan and when that might happen, and
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: what the US might respond. We don't know what Putin
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: might do as it gets more desperate and as it
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: gets more conaed. We don't know what Trump is going
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: to do in the Western hemisphere and to what extent,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: you know, his ongoing damaging of the US economy will continue.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: People don't know, So they're buying gold as protection, and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: they're willing to pay a lot of money for gold
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: because they don't think things are getting better. If anything,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: they expect things to get was. At the same time,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: people do not want to hold dollars. They don't want
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: to buy US denominated debt in particular, so a lot
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: of the money they would have used to buy dollars
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: and buy US debt, they're buying gold. Instead, and the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: dollar is going down, And the reality is that the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: dollar won't collapse because there's no alternative currency to buy
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: instead of the dollar. That is, what do you use?
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: If you don't use use the dollar, You're going to
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: use uo? Do you really trust the European Central Bank?
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Are you going to use the yuwan? Do you trust
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the Chinese? What are you going to use? If not
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the dollar? So the dollar would go down more if
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: there was an alternative, but there's no alternative. Now, why
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: is the stock walking up? The Stockworkeert's up because the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: companies in the stock market, particularly tech companies right now,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: are apputting phenomenal earnings an amazing upside potential because of AI.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: At the same time, everybody realizes that AI is a
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: massive bubble, that this is not sustainable, and it's not
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: clear that the investment in AI that is being done today,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the trillions of dollars flowing into AI, it's not clear
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: that they will ever earn a return on that money.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: It's like the laying of the fiber optics in the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties, particularly nineties, it's like the
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: huge Internet bubble. Good things will come of it, but
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: we don't know who are the winners of who are
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: the losers. There will be a day of reckoning even
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: in the stock market because of this AI bubble. When
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it happens, how it happens, what trigger is it, I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: don't know, but it's coming, and some people are taking
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: defensive positions by buying gold. And remember, well, the use
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: economy is not doing well. The job creation is non existent.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: The manufacturing sector in the United States is shrunken out
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: seven months in a row. I mean, the United States
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: economy is not doing well, and Trump is doing all
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: in his power to keep it that way. I mean
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: not intentionally, of course, but its policies are destructive to
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: use economic growth. Stock though, represents the best, the biggest,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: and also represents the most protected. The companies that have
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: sucked up to Trump and have going to achieve protection
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: from him. That's who that That's what the SMP is
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: made up of. So you've gotten a small subsection of
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: the US economy. So it's it's gonna be interesting. It's
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting where interest rates go. It's going to
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: be interesting how far the dollar drops, how high gold
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: goes up, and what actually happens to the stock market
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: into US companies under the under the Trump administration. But
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: it's not good that gold is in four thousand. I
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: mean unless your own gold, which then it's good for you.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: But it's not good. It's a sign of real fear,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: real instability, real distrust of the existing economic system and
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the way the way it's functioning, in the way it's structured.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: This is not This should not be celebrated. It should
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: be a time for real. It's a warning sign. It's
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: a real warning. Bitcoin, by the way, is up as well,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five thou people are just looking
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: for somewhere to put their money. That and there's plenty
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: of money. That's the other thing. There is plenty of
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: money out there, plenty of money. I think banks are
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: reducing the reserves that the Fed. Money is circulating, money
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: is moving. We'll see what the price inflation numbers are.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: But money is flowing into gold, into bitcoin, into the
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: stock market, who knows where else. But it's we're in
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: for a bumpy ride, bumpy right, all right, Yeah, this
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is an interesting story. We've talked a lot about corruption
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: and the corruption of this administration and how it plays out.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I've talked about Freddie and Fanny. Freddy and Fanny are
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the big buyers of mortgages. They restructure the mortgages and
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: they sell them repackaged mortgages. These are two companies that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: basically went bankrupt during the eighth nine. They've always been
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: government sponsored entities. They've always had the protection of the
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: US government. They've always been backed by taxpayers, and they've
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: been in government receivership since two thousand and eight. For
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a long time, the idea was they'd be broken up,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: they'd be closed down, they'd be broken up, and lots
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: of small companies would be spun off. But nothing has happened.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: They're sitting there and they're bigger now than they've ever been,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: and they are responsible for more of the mortgage market
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: today than they ever have. These are really, really, really
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: bad institutions because they've got perverse incentives. This pseudo governmental
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: the good example of what happens when the government takes
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: a position, either by guaranteeing your debt or by taking
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: on equity position. Anyway, the government has decided. The Trumpet
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: administration has decided not to break them up, not to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: shut them down, but to take them public as is,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: maybe even with an explicit government guarantee, and the consequence
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: of that is these could be some of the biggest
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: i pos in history ever. Initial public offer. Well, all
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: the banks want a piece, they want to represent, they
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: want to make the deal. So what you've got right
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: now is Goldman, Sachs and JP, Morgan Chase and Morgan
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Stanley and Wells, Fargo City Bank, Bank of America all
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: going to the White House and accurting Trump and others
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: bestn't uh and and people in the Housing UH Federal
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Housing Finance Agency and Circauselen trying to get the business,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: trying to get the business. So instead of shutting these
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: down or breaking them up and taking public small entities,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: these two massive companies are going to go public. It
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: was bad when they were public in the past. It
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: was horrific. And by the way, they could never get
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: their books in order. They you know, you know, early thousands,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: they couldn't even produce an audited financial statement of Fanny May.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: I mean this is gotten Frank's legacy with these monstrous organizations.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: They were huge lobbyists, huge massive lobbyists, real corruption in Washington,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: DC for decades, and now they want to resurrect them,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: make them, more powerful, bigger than ever the IBOs. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: expected the value the combined company Veddie and Fanny at
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars and raise at the IPO at
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: the initial public offering thirty billion dollars. I mean, this
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: is absurd and ridiculous. And again we're just begging for
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: other financial criations, just begging for it, begging again. These
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: are two entities that winter went bankrupt, but whenever shut down,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: they are being under government receivership, government management. Since then,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: government bailout. They've been bailed out and now on IPO
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: five hundred billion dollars. And because the government is doing it,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: because it goes from government receivership. Instead of they should
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: have fought for bankruptcy. They should have shut them down
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: and sold other assets. Un let the private markets compete
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: for mortgages. We're going to create the great American mortgage corporation,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: you know. And and the massive massive this resulted from
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: a massive bailout. By the way, the US has warrants
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: to purchase about eighty percent of the common stock when
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: they go public. So yeah, I don't know. I mean,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: in two and two and nine, it seemed like there
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: was a real consensus among politicians, economists, bankers, everybody, fenny
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: and f any need to go. They need to be eliminated,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: they need to be shut down, they need to be
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: spun off. And instead we're just recreating them so that
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: we can have another financial crisis and bail them out again.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Just nutty, talk about nutty. Soybean farmers. Don't know if
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: you know any soybean farmers on the farmers are very unhappy.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Trump's trade wars basically destroyed their their business. They typically
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: sell many of the soybeans to China. China's not buying
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: soybeans from US farmers just zero zero Now because of tariffs,
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: soybean farmers have dramatically increased costs, higher fertilizer costs, higher
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: metal cost high equipment costs. And at the same time,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the tasks have eviscerted their market. They can't sell them.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: And this is a massive Trump continued constituency. And yet
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: the being left out without a market, and now some
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: of the soybeans that they're not selling to China they'll
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: sell elsewhere. The United States is helping them and they'll
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: find out the markets and they'll figure it out. But
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: it's going to be very difficult for them to make
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: a profit given their increased costs and the ongoing un
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: certainty about the markets. I mean, in a normal year,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: China would have already booked US soybeans from the crop
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: that's just been harvested, but they haven't. So what happens
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: next year? And again, where does these soybeans get shipped?
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: So Trump's really made a complete disaster of this. The
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: farm industry is in real panic. And again this is
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the hot land, this is this is Trump country. So
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, the solution is, of course, the solution is,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: of course bailouts. And what you're going to see is
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: is massive bailouts. Now, the real solution, ultimately is they
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: should be planting a lot less soybean, a lot less corn.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: We should stop subsidizing it. We should stop, you know,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: providing you know, huge benefits these farmers to plant stuff
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: that is not really needed. But that won't happen. I'll
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: just keep bailing them out, just giving them more money.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: And so Trump is now saying that he can take
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: the money coming in from tariffs and give it to farmers,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: which is fascinating because you know, he doesn't really have
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the constitutional authority to put on tariffs, and now he's
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: adding constitutional authority to take the income and kind of
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: do whatever the hell he wants with it. Like the
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: president is not in a position to allocate revenue. Budgeting
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: is Congress's responsibility. But Trump is just is suggesting that
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: because this is excess revenue, he can do whatever he
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: want with it. So yep, completely unconstitutional, but that is
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: just part of the course, part of the course, right,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people are pissed off because Trump
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: is bailing out, is giving this bailout to Argentina, and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: then Argentina turned around and sold its soybeans to China.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: So China is buying soybeans or Argentina instead of from
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: the US, and the US at the same time as
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: also bailing them out, and people are pissed off at that.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: But that's the distortions and perversions are bailouts and tariffs
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, uh, Trump policy. Trump has no clue
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: what he's doing when it comes to these kind of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: economic and international affairs issues. Pretty bad, all right, That,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: my friends, is the news for October eighth, twenty twenty five.

• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Would you be surprised if MAGA staged a rich stud incident?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Is it possible MAGA wants violence in the streets in
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: order to cancel midim elections. I don't know if it's
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: to cancel midim election, but I definitely think MAGA wants violence,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: and I think that I think they want conflict, they
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: want to stir things up, they want insights because I
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: think that that they need. They have a vision of
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: what it's going to take to purify America from the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: evils of the left, and that is going to have
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: to involve the use of the significant use of state power.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: They've tried to do it at Harvard and other places.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: But the real use of state power is going after
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: student organizations and banning them, and it's going after political
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: entities and specific politicians and going after you know, Trump enemies,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: and part of that they'll do through law. Fair but
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: part of that is creating situations where there's real conflict
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: and where there's the potential of doing the equivalent of
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: you know, declaiming martial law. You know, in acting the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Insurrection Act. There's no insurrection in the United States. There
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: literally is no insurrection in the United States. The left
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: is not particularly active right now. Most of the action
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: is from the right, and I don't see ICE and
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: some of these other entities going after the hamas demonstrators
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: does seem to be the target, So I don't know
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: who is. It's the political enemies of the Republicans in charge,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: so they want to steer things up. And part of
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: putting ICE into the streets and putting National Guard into
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: the streets is that they're hoping to provoke. I mean,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: what Trump really wants is for Portland to burn. If
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Portland burns, there's an excuse to do more. They want
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: to do more, They want to act, and they want
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: legal cover for the action. And the legal cover will
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: be provided to them if the Left is incited to,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: you know, start really fighting against them. You know, somebody
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: is going to get shot by ICE or an ICE
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: agent will get shot. Violence will only escalate. The more
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: guns you put into the streets, and out of that
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: will come potentially riots, and then you got national gut
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: quelching riots, and that that chaos, that mayhem is a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: great opportunity to you know, invoke more authoritarian powers. Now,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: is it normal for federal agents to be assaulted in
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: the streets. Yes, when they're doing horrific things. I mean,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I did my spiel on ICE. Ice is a horrific organization.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: And when they are randomly pulling people off the streets
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: and you're in the vicinity, yes you should resist. Yes,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: you should create as much uncertainty for those agents without
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: getting physical and violence, so that they feel intimidated before
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: they risked somebody off the pavement next time. It's not
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: normal to have federal agents in the streets rounding people up,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: but not normal to have federal agents and unmasked cars
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: driving around the streets assaulting people. That is not normal,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: and we should not accept it as normal, not accepted
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: as normal, whether it's legally illegal, we should not accept
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: it as normal. And interfering without engaging in violence absolutely,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: civil disobedience without engaging in violence absolutely absolutely, let them
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: know that what they're doing is unpopular. Let them know
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: that they're not welcome, and the people violating the real
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: rule of law here is the government the government, because
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: the law is not just whatever laws they happen to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: be in the books. The law is the law based
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: on individual rights. And when the law laws a fundamentally
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: violating individual rights, then we need to stand up against them.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: We need to stand up against them. So what Ice
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: is doing is wrong. It is wrong from the perspective
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: individual rights, is wrong from the perspective of the rule
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: of law. All right, And if we don't stand up,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: there's no end to it. They'll keep passing really really
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: bad laws. I'll keep signing really really bad executive orders,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: and they'll violate our rights left and rights, and we
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: will do nothing. We will just sit silently because hey,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: it's the law, all right, Remo, thank you, Remo. Sixty
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: eros really appreciate it. Should a country ban the disability
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: for foreign governments and wealth funds to buy stakes and
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: companies that incorporated in its country. It's a really good
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: question which I hadn't thought about, and I think the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: answer is yes. I think there should be a band.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: I think the band should be against you know, a
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: purchase by a governmental entity of a foreign country, and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: i'd include faun what do you call it? Wealth funds?
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: Fun sovereign wealth funds against buying stock, against mine land.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Chinese government should not be only farmland
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: in the United States. They shouldn't be only stocks in
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: the United States. Now, I don't mind Chinese companies doing it,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: and maybe it gets blurry when it comes to country
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: like China, but the government out and out I don't
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: think should be. But it's an interesting question which I've
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: never thought about, but it strikes me that the answer
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: should be yes, it should be banned. I think part
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: of what ICE is doing and all of that is
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: to provoke. They want it to escalate, and it's going
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to escalate. I mean, there's nothing you can do about
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: it's going to escalate, and it's really, really bad, and
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: the fault for the escalation is with the government. David,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: With gold over four thousand, it's maybe time to finally
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: call Peter Shift and bring him on the show. Nobody
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: has been as public and right about the debt crisis
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: in gold for over twenty years as year is. Call
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: your old forgotten friend. I don't know how you can
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: say he's been right. Peter Schiff called Gold at four
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: thousand in two thousand and eight. The fact that it
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: made it to Fourenty twenty twenty five doesn't make him right.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: So I don't understand. I don't understand how. You know,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: if you if you you know you, you say the
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: crisis is gonna come, it's gonna come, it's gonna come,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: it's gonna come, you do it for forty twenty years,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: and the crisis finally happens somehow you're right. I mean,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: I really don't get it. Yes, Gold has finally done
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: what Peter Shifts said it will do it. But Peter
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Shift said it would happen years and years and years ago,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: decades ago. So he's clearly been wrong in bitcoin. He's
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: been wrong in the stockland kid, he's wrong in the
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: US dollar and has been wrong on the US dollar
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: in the past. Now I like Peter and I might
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: have him on, but I don't understand, you know, you
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: know how he can be wrong for so long? And
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: you know if I say Scoco lig is gonna go down,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know when, No, Starkola is gonna go down
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: this year and it doesn't go down, then next year
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go down this year and it doesn't go down,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: and again it's gonna go down this year and it
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't go down. Then next one it's gonna go down
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: this year, and then ultimately five years, six years, seven years,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: ten years down the road he goes down and you say, Wow,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: your UN's right about the stock market. No, I'm not. Now. Look,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Peter's super smart, super particulate. I agree with him on
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: a lot in economics. I'm just disagreeing with you on
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: this particular characterization. I just think it's wrong, and I'm
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: looking for objectivity around it. Right lyon, are Palestinian supporters
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: of today similar to hippies of the Vietnam era? Both
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: are just reaching against the flawed proponents of the US West,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: like Trump and Nixon, without examining who they're align with.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I mean no, because it's much much worse now. And
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: the reason it's much much worse now is because they
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: have nothing at stake today. There's no there's no draft.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: They're not being shipped to them at least to fight
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: a war. The war they supposed war crimes and not
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: being committed by Americans. So the fact that they're so
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: passionate and so engaged with the Palestinian cause is And
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: of course a lot of the demonstrations in Vietnam weren't
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: pro North Vietnamese. They were against US involvement, and they
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: were right on US involvement. So no, I think this
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: is much much worse. It's also remember this didn't start
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: with Trump, the star with Biden. I mean, the sit ins,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: the campus sit ins, the demonstrations, those all happened in
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: a Biden. So it wasn't just a knee jerk reaction
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: to a bad you know, from their perspective, a right
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: wing president. Now they did, it's the democratic president as well.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: It is a hatred of the West, but much more
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: elevated in its verocity, in its in its nihilism than
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: I think the Vietnam War war was. So this is
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: that on steroids, much much worse. And of course that
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: was bad enough what they did back then, but it's
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: much worse now. I sign up police, police arrest people
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: to bring them to court with some level of evidence.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I specifically grags people without a court process or defiance
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: of court. They are literally masked gangsters for Trump, well,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: the masked gangsters for the federal government. Trump Trump is president,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: but not for Trump the masked gangsters for the federal government.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: And this is not a good precedent in the United States.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: You might think it's okay for them to be running
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: up illegals, but what happens when you know, the next
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: administration comes about and has masked gunmen gangsters roaming around
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: arresting some other group. There's no end to it. Once
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: you unleash the thugs into the streets in the name
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: of I don't know, in the name of federal government
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: and its wisdom. We know where that lands up, and
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't land up in a good place, so that
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: these are armed thugs of the federal government. All right, Andrew,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: does altruism lead to evasion? I'm thinking about the irrationality
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: surrounding the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Yes, I mean altruism necessitates evasion.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: You're evading your own interests. You're ignoring, you know, the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: reality of who's being sacrificed to whom it's you know, Altruism,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: by its very nature tells you to ignore your own nature,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: to ignore your own interests, to ignore your own life.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: And you know that necessitates evasion. And then once you
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: vade regarding altruism, once you vade, according to that, what
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: stops you evading whatever you need to evade. The whole
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: principle is here, they're suffering, the weak, the poor. They
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: o't of a state in one of this and one
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: of that that is by definition wrong according to altruism,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: and therefore must they must be some way to solve
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: the problem, to address the injustice and the fact that
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: the murderer is the fact at the rapist effect that
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: all this will evade that because they're struggling, because they're poor,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: because they're weak, and they're being bombed all the time,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: and children are dying, so everything else becomes irrelevant, everything
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: else is evaded in the name of the sacrifice. All right,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: Just we've that is all the twenty dollars questions that
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: we have, twenty fifty one hundred dollars questions that we have,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: so just a reminder, we need some more. We need
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: about six twenty dollars questions to get to our second
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: hour goal. We've got a few ten dollar questions here
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: and five dollar questions remaining, but I'll be done with
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: those pretty quickly here, So now's the time to step
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: in with some support. Stickers welcome questions welcome value for
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: value trade and help us make our targets. So that, yeah,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: the show is is sustainable, needs to be sustainable. These
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: these two hundred and fifty dollars an hour is what
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: is necessary to sustain the show given the different sources
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: of support that come in for the show. All right,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: So if you're listening live now on YouTube, come on over,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Come on over and do a superchato or do a sticker.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: If you're on Twitter, there's a bunch of people watching
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. Come on over to YouTube and support the
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: show here on YouTube. Remo my favorite ap Pacino movie. God,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't remember ap Pacino movies. Oh I remember my
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: first Oppacino movie, which was Dog Day Afternoon. Really liked
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Dog Day Afternoon. Well, I mean the Godfather of course,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: those are great movies, and al Pacino's great in those.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Cent of a Woman I like. I like Cent of
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: a Woman. That's a good Appacino movie. The Heat is
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: another one that I really like. I mean, I hate
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: the movie. The movie's kind of got an evil idea
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: and philosophy, but he's he's brilliant in it. He's really
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: really good. Didn't like The Irishman, SUPPI go he was
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: good at Soupy Go. Just looking at uh Oppacino movies. Uh,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: The Dog or the Afternoon was the first movie I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: saw with Appacino. He was brilliant in it. It's a
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: terrible movie, but he was brilliant in it. But at
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: least now looking back at the time, it was super intense.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: It was really intense. And Justice for All that was
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah. That that that Those a few that
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: I like. Oh, he's really good in the merch of
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: the Venice. He plays Shylock in The Merchant of Venice.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: That's really good. All right. Rimo says, generally, I do
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: not like gangster movies, but I do like The Godfather.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Godfather movies are great movies, Goodfellas, that Departed Heat. Yeah,
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: I mean there are a lot of good gangster movies.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: Departed is good. Heat is good. I mean again, it's
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: got an awful philosophically, it's really really bad, but it's
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: a really well made movie. But the best is The Godfather.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: The Godfather trilogy is brilliant. All right, Ryan, Your new
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: book is urgently needed. Is there anything that can be
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: done to speed up its release? No? No, it needs
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: to be written, I mean finished, and I need a
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: finalized an agent, and then we need a publisher. This
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: takes time. There's no there's no way, there's no shortcuts.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: And I want to I want to real I want
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: a real publisher. I wanted to get the full marketing
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: benefit of a publisher. And uh, I'm hoping to have
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: a real aggressive agents and and uh, you know there
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: should be given the timing of the book, given its theme.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm hoping w are kind of a best seller.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. I don't know who the market
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: is for it, because you know we're going to piss
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: off everybody. But if you want to ask a question
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: about al Pacino movies, about any of that, uh, the
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: super chat is open. Super chat is available, Mike, thank
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: you for the sticker. Really appreciate that. We just need
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: five twenty dollars now to get to our target. Uh,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: but I appreciate it. Ryan. There's just no shortcuts when
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: it comes to publishing a book, unfortunately, Mera Bens Peter,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I love you more than cat loafs and dog blanket burritos.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I don't don't want
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: to go there. I mean, people are talking about Heat.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, the thing about Heat is that, like most
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: modern movies, it portrays the bad guy, the gangster as
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: interesting and cool and successful and happy and gets the women,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: and and the good guy is the good guys is
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: is basically you know, boring and failure in his personal
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: life and unhappy and doesn't know how to have fun
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: and doesn't get the goal and and just pathetic. And
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: that's Heat, right. The cop is miserable, miserable and divorced
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: and everything, and the beaver guy is the happy guy.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: And that's just an inversion of reality to to make
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: and and it's it's a perpetuation of a particular view
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: of morality that that virtue leads to unhappiness. Goodness is. Yeah,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: it's important to be good, it's important to be virtuous,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: but you're not gonna be happy. You're gonna be miserable.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: And vice is actually the source of happiness. Vice is
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: actually the source of of fun, of joy. This is
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: not unique to Heat, but Heat really drills that home,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: which I find defensive. Lissenda, your voice sounds a lot
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: better now. Hope you're doing better. Also, anyone remembered to
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: send stickers and super chats and reach those goals. Yeah,
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: I mean we're not. You know, we're kind of on
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: and off on the goals. We don't. We don't make
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: them as consistently as we used to. It'd be nice
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: if we did. We really should. And so we're right
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: now eighty six dollars short of the goal. Maybe maybe
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: you can be inspired by Lucinda to get it. I
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: am feeling a little better. God, it's it's been a
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: week and a half now, and I'm still not completely right,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: as you can probably tell from my voice, but I'm
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: feeling better. I definitely have more energy. But I stolen congestioned.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: It hasn't completely opened up. Yeah it was. It was
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: a bad case and it's not leaving out and I'm
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: traveling on Friday. I'm flying to Austin, Texas on Friday.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well, frustrating, frustrating, frustrating, frustrating the fact that
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: I was so sick and that it hasn't really gone away.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's see equal to reality, says
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: bit off topic. But what questions could help me decide
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: if I should distance myself from pro royal on nationalist
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: minded family members. I mean, at the end of the
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: they You've got to think about what value do they
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: represent to you? To what extent you know they are
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: they good for you in a short run, in the
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: long run, what values do you get for them? What
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: is the value of having a relationship to think of
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: it as positive and not as negative? And then to
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: what extent do they frustrate you? Do do they impose
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: costs on you because of their political views? They argue
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: with you constantly? Do they ask you, I mean, what
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: exactly are they doing? So just way the positives and
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: the negatives of having a relationship and make a decision
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: based on that. One second is all right? Andrew rand
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: once said to Donahue, the religion says the body is evil.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: Donna Hue responded, yes, it does. When I see that,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: I think, how can want to acknowledge that and go
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: on defending religion thoughts, Well, because they really do think
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: it is evil. That is, you know, it's it's it's
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: the focal point of desires. And if you act on desires,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: you know you do, you can do you know, horrible things,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: and it is the source of sin, it is the
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: source of of the fall. So religion actually holds that,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: you know, the body as you know, as as evil
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: and they can't resent it, but they can't ignore that
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: because they this is how they've been brought up. This
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: is you know, every summon. This is exactly what they've
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: been taught. And what it means is they believe that
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: the mind, that morality is there to control their bodily urges,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: to control their passions, to control the mayhem that the
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: body would eight if it was let loose. And they
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: are They are split. They really have this split, and
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: they live it, and that is the source of the
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: kind of anxiety and fear and self hatred that so
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: many people exhibit. Neo, I'm bad of math. How is it?
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: How is the comparison made when people say October seventh
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: is equivalent to thirty to forty thousand dead during nine
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: to eleven. Yeah, it's pretty pretty simple. It's you say,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Israel as let's say a population of ten million,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: and they they had want twelve hundred people died in
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: United States just two fifteen million people. Some multiply the
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: one thousand, two hundred by thirty five ten million into
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty million. Is one thy two hundred
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: to what to about forty thousand people dying. So just
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: a comparison of the populations versus three to four thousand
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: actually died on nine to eleven. Imagine if that number
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: was thirty thousand or forty thousand, then it would be
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: the same impact on the population as it was in Israel. Right,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: equal to reality? Says in case you did not see
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: my other chat, what are some good red flags to
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: write off close family members? What lines that should not
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: be crossed both left and right? Well, I mean it's
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: hard to tell. I mean, obviously hatred, nihilism, racism, and
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: anti Semitism are red lines, I think. But you should
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: be in a position to be to say I disagree
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: with them when they sound off something really really bad.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: And if they are exhibit real hostility when you do that,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: and and they make it really uncomfortable and unpleasant to
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: be around, then you have to really ask yourself is
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: it worth being around them? Yeah? And says thoughts on
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Dictator from Day One by rub Tsinski. Rob Tainsky has
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: this book about Trump called Dictator by Day from Day One,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: and look, when it comes to Trump, I agree with
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: Trasinski his writings on Trump the extent that I've read them,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: being right on points. And my guess is I haven't
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: read the book. Is that we agree completely about Trump,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: but Trump's uh, you know, authoritarian inclinations and general evil.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: Uh So I probably probably would agree with Chasinski's book
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: if I read it, but I haven't read it and
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: don't intend to. Hey, Ron, have you seen talked about SOA?
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: To open Aiy's newest video ai Also have you seen
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: Figure one robot can walk and do dishes? Tech is
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: so cool. Yeah, text is very cool. I just downloaded
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: SOA too and trying to play around with it. I
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly how it works and how to make
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: it work, so a play around, but you know, I'm
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: sure it's unbelievably cool. Tech is unbelievably cool. I've seen
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff that robots can do. Robots are
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: the future, there's no There's no question about that. And
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: you know, robots are gonna are going to change the
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: world in which we live for the better. And they
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: are coming. They're coming, They're coming for you. Beware all right, Listenda,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: have you seen in the Line of Fire with condition
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: who recently watched it and enjoyed it a lot? With
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: my is that way? He's like a secret Service agent
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: and he takes a bullet for the president. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: I really liked that. I enjoyed that movie. That's a
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: long time ago from the I'm just looking online from
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: the nineties, early nineties. Yeah, I enjoyed that movie. It
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: was a good action movie, good action movie. Thank you listened?
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, only thirty four dollars left to make
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: a goal. It would just be nice to be able
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: to say, another day, another goal met. We didn't miss
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: it today. So help us get to that point. Help
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: us get to that point. Yeah, Atlent in that movie
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: really is heroic. He's a real hero, all right. Paul
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: b W Who's b W interviewed Barrett Oh Barye Wise
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: interviewed Barrett. I liked her comment that the Constitution was
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: more than the words, but also the body of people
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: upholding it, but mostly ignored abortion and the perverted Ninth
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Amendment into interpretation. Yeah, I mean, I've just seen bits
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: of it. I haven't seen the full the full interview,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: Barrett strikes me as all the more intelligent than I expected. Sadly,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: she has a very bad view of abortion, and still
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: even the better Republicans have a bad view of the
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: ninth Amendment. But she's better than expected. I'll give her that.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: She's better than expected it to be. So it's gonna
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: be interesting. This next term of the Supreme Court, where
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: they're going to make a lot of Trump decisions, is
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: going to be super interesting. It's going to be interesting
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: to see whether they have the courage, they have the fortitude,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: the courage to stand up to Trump and to put
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: him in his place. I mean, I think the tariff
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: is a no brainer, not constitutional, and there are a
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: number of these issues that are no brainers. And the
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: question is will the quotes stand up to him and
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: do it. He's going to present it as you know,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to destroy the country if you do. He
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: really is nigging. Have to resist resist that somehow. All right,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: Lucinda says, let's reach the goal. All right, We're only
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: twenty three dollars away from the goal, so it is reachable.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: And that was the last question. So anybody want to
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: get us to the goal by doing a twenty three
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: dollars stick up by asking a question? Now is the
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: time to do it? All right? We will have a
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: show tomorrow. Oh I'm not sure about the time tomorrow,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: but I think it's about the same time as today.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's a little later tomorrow. Let's see tomorrow. Oh,
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: tomorrow will be at four pm eas Con time. So
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll have a show at four pm East Coast time.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: Probably no show on Friday, and and we'll see if
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: I can do a show over the weekend. I'm attending
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: a wedding and there's parties and the wedding stuff, and
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: but we'll try to do something beforehand to get it done.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: So that is the that is the plan. Definitely be
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: back on Tuesday, but tomorrow it will be show. All right,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: We've got Leven did a three dollars stick I thank
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: you Lyven. Listender did a twenty five u O sticker,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: so thank you Listender that got us to the goal.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: And then Ron did a sixty chicker question. Do you
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: think the current repull market stress and upcoming QE upcoming
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: QE will finally expose them all bankruptcy of Fiat money
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: pushing a significant number of investors towards gold ps coming
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: to listen to you in Vienna in November. Cool. Cool, No,
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't see why this is
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: it for Fiat money. I think it's going to take
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: a lot more than what's happening right now. I also
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, I'm not sure investors should be
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: in gold. Why is gold worth four thousand? If gold
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: became money tomorrow, is four thousand the level it would
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: which should be converted into dollars? I don't know right
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: so it's not clear to me that gold right now
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: reflects reality anymore than any other asset class. I think
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: gold is a speculative asset and is being speculated on.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: But no, I do not predict the imminent fall and
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: the disappearance of fiat moneys. I just don't see that
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: happening yet. Thanks Ron, run, I really appreciate it and
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: look forward to seeing you in Vienna. Tom says one
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars or no, one hundred pounds sterling. Thank you, Tom,
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: really appreciate this. Thank you Ron. Keep up the great work.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: Appreciate your analysis. Thank you Tom. That definitely gets us
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: way beyond the goal. That's great. When are you're next
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: in the UK so I can come see you live
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: ask equal to reality. I'm not going to be in
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: the UK this trip to Europe in October November probably
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: be in UK in either February or March of next
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: year early February, March, sorry late February, early March, or
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: otherwise in April, but definitely be there and I'm trying
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: to arrange events. I might be doing a debate for
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: the Spectator, maybe a debate at Oxford for the High Society.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: So number of things in the works for then. I'm
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: trying to trying to kind of wrap up my schedule
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: for the next year, but that that'll probably be the
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: time when I come to the UK. Won't be this trip, unfortunately,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: won't be able to won't be making it. This trend
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: thank you. Equal to Reality Andrew says, are you looking
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: to revive Rules for Life? Just do some shows consistent
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: with them? I just do someselves consistent with them. I
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: did twenty Rules for Life. I'm not sure what reviving it.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: But look, here's the point. If anybody has ideas on
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: structuring of Rules for like like series of shows, I'm interested.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just out of ideas. So if you, if you
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: think about how it should be presented, structure, what should
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: be the umbrella, let me know. I'm open to ideas,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: whether it's bringing it back, doing it like I did originally.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: Whether it's doing something completely different, let me know. But
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: those kind of shows apply applying objectivism to our lives.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do at least one a week that way.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: That's like that, but it would be hopeful to get
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: guidance from you guys what you think would work, given
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: that you've already heard the rules for life, and where
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: you think we should take it next. All right, everybody,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: I will see you tomorrow four pm, East Coast. I
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: thanks you guys, were great and we blew away the target.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, Thank you really really appreciate it.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks Listenda for getting at them and poking them and
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: encouraging them. Thanks guys, see tomorrow, Bye everybody,
