- 0:10Speaker 1: and an individual loss. This is the show. Oh right,
- 0:21Speaker 1: everybody walk up here on Brook Show on this Monday,
- 0:25Speaker 1: December fifteenth. Uh my god, what a bloody weekend. I mean,
- 0:33Speaker 1: just horrific story after story after story. Uh, you know,
- 0:39Speaker 1: starting with the death of two American soldiers in Syria,
- 0:43Speaker 1: uh three three injured, and then and then the Bondi
- 0:46Speaker 1: and uh you know Brown of course Brown first, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: then the Bondi beach and then and then the Robliner,
- 0:56Speaker 1: the death of Robina. I mean, just a who horrific,
- 1:03Speaker 1: horrific weekend. Uh, you know, it's just it's just I
- 1:10Speaker 1: guess it happens, you know once in a while. You
- 1:13Speaker 1: just it's just uh, it's just non NonStop. Yeah, just
- 1:19Speaker 1: just horrifying. So so uh, let's let's talk about let's
- 1:25Speaker 1: talk about some of this and and uh, you know
- 1:31Speaker 1: see what's uh, what's going on. We'll start with the
- 1:34Speaker 1: worst of them, uh, in terms of the just a
- 1:37Speaker 1: number of casualties and just the horror of the whole thing,
- 1:40Speaker 1: and the one that's in many respects the easiest to understand, uh,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and that is that is the Bondy Beach massacre murder.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I don't know how you want to call it, uh,
- 1:56Speaker 1: but from what one can tell is on Sunday morning,
- 2:01Speaker 1: Sunday morning, there was a gathering of I guess the
- 2:07Speaker 1: local Jewish community at Bundy Beach to celebrate the first
- 2:12Speaker 1: the first day of Hanuka. Hanukah, the Jewish holiday, one
- 2:18Speaker 1: of the more probably the most secu yeah, probably the
- 2:22Speaker 1: most secular of the Jewish holidays. And they were gathered
- 2:27Speaker 1: the beach, families with kids, parents, grandparents, the whole array.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And at about six point thirty in the evening, a
- 2:44Speaker 1: car pulled up. Two figures dressed in black shirts emerged.
- 2:49Speaker 1: They were carrying long bow guns and a number of
- 2:53Speaker 1: other weapons, and they just they went up on a
- 2:57Speaker 1: kind of a little a bridge, kind of walking bridge,
- 3:03Speaker 1: and from that vantage point could look right down onto
- 3:09Speaker 1: this Hanuko party and they just started firing. These were
- 3:14Speaker 1: these are the kind of guns that are a single shot,
- 3:18Speaker 1: so they kept having to fire, you know, fire, crank fire.
- 3:23Speaker 1: But you know, I saw some video of them firing.
- 3:26Speaker 1: These guys looked like they practiced. It looked like they
- 3:29Speaker 1: were well trained. I mean, their ability to fire rapidly
- 3:35Speaker 1: from again like that was quite horrifying. So this was
- 3:41Speaker 1: not This was not a couple of guys who had
- 3:43Speaker 1: no idea how to use a weapon. They definitely had
- 3:47Speaker 1: They knew how to use that weapon. They kept on
- 3:51Speaker 1: firing for about ten minutes, killing as of now, I
- 3:56Speaker 1: think sixteen people, including a ten year old good and
- 4:00Speaker 1: including the local rabbi, including a Holocaust survivor in eighty seven,
- 4:07Speaker 1: I think your old Holocaust survivor, and you know the
- 4:12Speaker 1: Supposedly the police showed up at some point and started
- 4:17Speaker 1: shooting at them, but they only had handguns pistols, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: they kept their distance for some reason, and they weren't
- 4:25Speaker 1: very effective. Now they're varying stories about this, so I
- 4:28Speaker 1: don't know. I'm sure there'll be inquiry about this. Some
- 4:31Speaker 1: people said the son of the police were hiding because
- 4:34Speaker 1: they were afraid, and others said they you know, they
- 4:38Speaker 1: were there, but they were firing, and the firing was
- 4:41Speaker 1: ineffective because they they kept their distance and their pistols
- 4:46Speaker 1: just they can't compete with long guns. Finally, one of
- 4:51Speaker 1: the one of the shooters, came down off the bridge
- 4:57Speaker 1: and you can see video of this, and starts a
- 5:00Speaker 1: approaching a line of cars parked day and I guess
- 5:02Speaker 1: across the street is where this party is starting to
- 5:05Speaker 1: move directly towards them, where he could have done unbelievable damage.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And it passes by a guy who was just who
- 5:15Speaker 1: was there, uh jumped him and you can see the
- 5:20Speaker 1: video of this, and it's it's it's quite amazing. This
- 5:23Speaker 1: guy kind of you know, comes in from between two
- 5:26Speaker 1: part cars and just leaps on the guy from behind,
- 5:30Speaker 1: uh and and wrestles with him and takes the gun
- 5:32Speaker 1: away from him. The guy who wrestled him was identified
- 5:37Speaker 1: later as his name is Ahmed El Ahmed, a Syrian
- 5:42Speaker 1: I guess immigrant to to Sydney. So the shooters were Muslim,
- 5:49Speaker 1: and the savior probably saved quite a few lives the
- 5:53Speaker 1: police again we're not seen anywhere, but uh but uh,
- 5:59Speaker 1: you know, he probably saved quite a bit of lives
- 6:01Speaker 1: by tackling this guy and and uh and and getting
- 6:05Speaker 1: the gun from him. I think he was injured. The
- 6:07Speaker 1: other guy had shot at him and he was injured
- 6:10Speaker 1: through the altercation. But I think he's doing uh, he
- 6:14Speaker 1: is doing okay. And uh, I mean there was at
- 6:23Speaker 1: least one policewoman who was shot on a bull ofoo
- 6:26Speaker 1: Vest and uh you know. Anyway, ultimately one of the
- 6:33Speaker 1: gunmen was killed, the other one was injured, and uh
- 6:37Speaker 1: And was taken into custody. Both of them their father
- 6:41Speaker 1: and a son. They are both from what I understand,
- 6:46Speaker 1: they're both Pakistanis Pakistanis in the car or in the surrounding.
- 6:53Speaker 1: There were two unexploded bombs. Uh So the damage they
- 6:59Speaker 1: wanted to inflict was even greater than what they did.
- 7:02Speaker 1: There was so a couple of ISIS flags found in
- 7:07Speaker 1: the vehicle. Indeed, the younger of the two, the Sun,
- 7:12Speaker 1: had been investigated by Australian authorities as far back as
- 7:18Speaker 1: twenty nineteen for his connection to possible possible ISIS ISIS connection,
- 7:29Speaker 1: possible ISIS connections. Clearly they were tall getting Jews. Clearly,
- 7:40Speaker 1: this is an act of terrorism in Australia, actually the
- 7:46Speaker 1: largest mass shooting in Australia in thirty years. But this
- 7:51Speaker 1: is clearly an attempt, you know, to kill Jews. You
- 7:57Speaker 1: can only imagine what would have happened if they had
- 7:59Speaker 1: some automatic weapons, if they if they had an M
- 8:02Speaker 1: sixteen or fifteen, and you know, the intensity of the
- 8:08Speaker 1: shooting would have been far greater and the number of
- 8:11Speaker 1: casualties would be far greater. They did have. The father
- 8:15Speaker 1: did have six weapons registered to his name. Interesting given
- 8:19Speaker 1: that the son had been investigated for uh, you know,
- 8:24Speaker 1: for affiliation with ISIS. Now you can interpret this in
- 8:30Speaker 1: a number of different ways. I see already somebody saying
- 8:32Speaker 1: this is a consequence of open immigration. No it's not.
- 8:37Speaker 1: This is a direct consequence of the ongoing weakness of
- 8:41Speaker 1: the West in facing an enemy and ignoring its murderous
- 8:49Speaker 1: inclinations and refusing to do anything about it. This is
- 8:55Speaker 1: not just a random couple of immigrants. These are particular
- 9:00Speaker 1: immigrants with a particular ideology that we are at war with.
- 9:06Speaker 1: They know they're at war with us. We just choose
- 9:09Speaker 1: to bury a head in the sand over and over
- 9:11Speaker 1: and over again and pretend there's no there there. This
- 9:18Speaker 1: is easily preventable. This is easily prevented, not by building
- 9:24Speaker 1: walls and closing the borders and being you know, dominated
- 9:29Speaker 1: by fear and hatred, but by going out there, finding
- 9:33Speaker 1: the bastards and eliminating them, or arresting them, or kicking
- 9:38Speaker 1: them out of the old country. There is no mystery
- 9:41Speaker 1: here about who these people are. There's no mystery about
- 9:47Speaker 1: who these people are this is us are not about Gaza.
- 9:52Speaker 1: I mean, it's as if there were no terrorist attacks
- 9:55Speaker 1: against Europeans, against Jews before this, before Gaza. I mean
- 10:01Speaker 1: that is in the West. That is bizarre. This has
- 10:03Speaker 1: nothing to do with Gaza. This has everything to do
- 10:07Speaker 1: with any Islamist offense against the West, against Jews in particular,
- 10:13Speaker 1: that has been going on at least since nineteen seventy
- 10:16Speaker 1: nine and has accelerated with nine to eleven and since
- 10:20Speaker 1: nine to eleven. This is not about Israel. This is
- 10:25Speaker 1: about the West. This is about Sharia. This is about
- 10:29Speaker 1: a jihadi ideology that is set on destroying the West
- 10:33Speaker 1: and dominating the West and cowering the West. Exactly what
- 10:36Speaker 1: they want is for you to build walls. They want
- 10:40Speaker 1: to destroy what makes the West the West. They want
- 10:42Speaker 1: you to be afraid, they want you to cow they
- 10:45Speaker 1: want you to build bunkers and hide. And what the
- 10:51Speaker 1: what the Western leaders do? Oh, they've responded with grief
- 10:56Speaker 1: and condolences and sympathy and horror, and this is just
- 11:01Speaker 1: is just ridicous. This is just awful. I mean, it's
- 11:04Speaker 1: just like like after Charlie Hebdo twenty fifteen, which if
- 11:09Speaker 1: I remember, right, Charlie, hebdo was not about Gaza, couldn't
- 11:13Speaker 1: have been anyway, Charlie, hebdo. Everybody went out jes sweet Charlie.
- 11:17Speaker 1: They went out in the streets. And what did they do?
- 11:19Speaker 1: What did they do after they demonstrated, millions of French
- 11:22Speaker 1: people demonstrating the streets with jesu jes we Charlie, And
- 11:27Speaker 1: what did they actually do? The French government, the French authorities,
- 11:31Speaker 1: the French public. Nothing, bubkus zero nudda and repeated terrorist
- 11:38Speaker 1: the text. After that, what did they do then? Nothing?
- 11:40Speaker 1: Zero nudder. I mean, I wish all these world leaders
- 11:49Speaker 1: would not send condolences because the blood is on their hands.
- 11:54Speaker 1: The blood is on the hands of the President of
- 11:57Speaker 1: the United States. The blood is on the hands of
- 11:59Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of England and the Prime Minister of Ireland,
- 12:02Speaker 1: and the primary and the president of France and Germany
- 12:05Speaker 1: and so on. They have continued to tolerate Islamists in
- 12:10Speaker 1: our mists. They've continued to resist doing anything about this threat.
- 12:15Speaker 1: They've continued to appease, appeas and appeas and appeas to
- 12:20Speaker 1: the Hardiests within their mist. The blood here is on
- 12:24Speaker 1: the hands of the Prime Minister of Australia who has
- 12:28Speaker 1: been repeatedly, repeatedly warned about the Islamist threat within Australia
- 12:33Speaker 1: towards Jews and towards Australians. In all these countries, Islamists,
- 12:41Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood or Iranian BacT Islamists, whatever variety they have,
- 12:48Speaker 1: are coddled by the authorities. They are tolerated. They are
- 12:55Speaker 1: you know, massive understanding is given to them. They're allowed
- 12:59Speaker 1: to shut down the centers of every major Western city
- 13:04Speaker 1: and declare, declare to the world that they will globalize
- 13:10Speaker 1: the need to Father. Well, yesterday the inter Fada was globalized.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You have a mayor of New York City who believes
- 13:18Speaker 1: in globalizing need to Father. I'm sure he will send
- 13:21Speaker 1: his condolences to the families in Sydney. But the blood
- 13:25Speaker 1: is on his hands. The blood is on every human
- 13:28Speaker 1: being who went out into the streets to talk about
- 13:31Speaker 1: globalizing the inter Fada mindlessly without thinking about or maybe
- 13:36Speaker 1: with thinking about what inter Fada actually means. I mean,
- 13:44Speaker 1: it is truly despicable for global leaders just to pretend
- 13:49Speaker 1: and just to go on as if nothing happened. Yes,
- 13:53Speaker 1: they will send their condolences, Yes they will cry, Yes,
- 13:56Speaker 1: they will shed fake tears, but will they actually do anything,
- 14:04Speaker 1: will they finally declare war in Islamism. It turns out
- 14:11Speaker 1: none of this was particularly you know, surprising, right the
- 14:16Speaker 1: police have been you know, I've known about the Sun
- 14:22Speaker 1: and his connection to ISIS, but they didn't believe he
- 14:25Speaker 1: posed an immediate threat. Oh, I mean connection to ISIS,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but you don't pose a threat. I mean connection to
- 14:33Speaker 1: ISIS should be grounds for you know, interrogation, maybe deportation,
- 14:44Speaker 1: maybe active monitoring. I mean basically, connection to ISIS is
- 14:54Speaker 1: connection to the enemy. But you have to declare the enemy,
- 14:58Speaker 1: you actually actually go to war with an enem until
- 15:01Speaker 1: the West, until the West decides to take this seriously,
- 15:07Speaker 1: this threat seriously, which they should have done post nine
- 15:10Speaker 1: to eleven or even before that, but certainly post nine
- 15:12Speaker 1: to eleven and actually declare this ideology and enemy. Declare
- 15:24Speaker 1: anybody who supports this ideology an enemy. Anybody will with
- 15:28Speaker 1: connection to ISIS is committing treason and should be tried
- 15:35Speaker 1: for treason. It turns out that both the son and
- 15:44Speaker 1: the father were radicalized. Where would they be radicalized? Shockingly,
- 15:50Speaker 1: in a mosque the Islamic Center in Sydney, the Al Murad,
- 15:56Speaker 1: the Islamic Center in Sydney. So you've got a bastion
- 16:03Speaker 1: of the enemy in the midst of your city, and
- 16:06Speaker 1: you think there won't be consequences. You think a committed
- 16:13Speaker 1: death cult who is committed to killing the West, is
- 16:17Speaker 1: committed to killing Jews, is not going to become violent.
- 16:28Speaker 1: You don't have to ban every mosque. Again, a little
- 16:32Speaker 1: bit of differentiation people, a little bit of thinking thinking,
- 16:36Speaker 1: I know it's hard. You have to ban the radical mosques,
- 16:43Speaker 1: the ones supported by the Muslim Brotherhood in the Iranian regime,
- 16:46Speaker 1: the one that actually preach Islamism, jihadism. There are plenty
- 16:55Speaker 1: of mosques that are just regular religious institutions that have
- 17:00Speaker 1: nothing to do with violence. But there are many mosques
- 17:09Speaker 1: all over the West that can be easily identified as
- 17:14Speaker 1: places where they are training, they're radicalizing, they are teaching
- 17:19Speaker 1: the worst type of ideology, the worst hateful type of ideology.
- 17:24Speaker 1: And should those be closed, yes, should those preachers be deported, yes,
- 17:31Speaker 1: they are representative of the enemy. No, But everybody would
- 17:40Speaker 1: rather just hunker down, build walls, let's pretend it doesn't exist,
- 17:46Speaker 1: or let's just build walls and not let them in.
- 17:53Speaker 1: As if they can't come in in other ways, as
- 17:56Speaker 1: if they can't commit terrorism with that coming in legally.
- 18:04Speaker 1: I mean, how much did the war between Israel and
- 18:07Speaker 1: Gods to help Israel? Not much? Not much. I mean
- 18:16Speaker 1: I've been saying it since nine to eleven. I've been
- 18:18Speaker 1: saying it for twenty five years, and sadly nobody is listening.
- 18:27Speaker 1: You want to stop this, it's easy. Take out the
- 18:30Speaker 1: people who fund it, take out the people who promote it,
- 18:36Speaker 1: take out the people who make this possible. Not that
- 18:39Speaker 1: many of them. It's Iran and probably kata those are
- 18:50Speaker 1: the two countries they fund it all. You know, Make
- 18:56Speaker 1: sure you know Pakistan or the Trumpet administration is selling
- 19:00Speaker 1: weapons to the pakistanis the pakistanis the Trump's best friends.
- 19:04Speaker 1: They nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize. How about
- 19:08Speaker 1: making it a condition, a condition for getting anything from
- 19:13Speaker 1: the United States that they shut down all the terrorist
- 19:18Speaker 1: training camps that they have there. There's some rumors that
- 19:25Speaker 1: these guys went to Pakistani and got trained on weapons.
- 19:27Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not, but how
- 19:30Speaker 1: about just shutting down the terrorist camps in Pakistan which
- 19:33Speaker 1: are funded. I bet you I guarantee you that the
- 19:37Speaker 1: funding is coming in from Katsa and from Iran. The
- 19:47Speaker 1: solution is to destroy the enemy. Now you think you
- 19:54Speaker 1: can build walls and not have them come in, they
- 19:57Speaker 1: will find a way in. Not in the numbers they
- 20:01Speaker 1: come in now, but they will find a way in.
- 20:04Speaker 1: They'll find a way to hijack the airplanes. They'll find
- 20:06Speaker 1: a way to, you know, to bring them down into
- 20:09Speaker 1: your cities. Again. You can cower in fear if you want,
- 20:16Speaker 1: but all that will do is in bold than the enemy.
- 20:19Speaker 1: All that'll do is make the enemy stronger. Iwan has
- 20:24Speaker 1: ballistic missiles and one day will develop nukes, and you
- 20:28Speaker 1: don't care because you don't want war. You just want
- 20:30Speaker 1: a war. Well, the war w war won't prevent protect
- 20:34Speaker 1: you from those nukes like Qatari's. Katari's are best friends
- 20:43Speaker 1: with America. They come into America legally, they don't they
- 20:46Speaker 1: don't come i legally, and Republicans love the Qataris. According
- 20:57Speaker 1: to Israeli media, Is reported the Mosel notified the Australia
- 21:01Speaker 1: Australia's intelligence services about the Iranian regime backed terror infrastructure
- 21:06Speaker 1: in the country that was planning to carry out attacks
- 21:10Speaker 1: on Jewish targets a month ago. Again, this is an
- 21:14Speaker 1: Uranian regime backed terror infrastructure. This is not random, This
- 21:18Speaker 1: is all stayed backed. Now it is true that the
- 21:22Speaker 1: Australian authorities took a part much of that infrastructure in
- 21:26Speaker 1: the last few weeks. And then the question is how
- 21:32Speaker 1: did these two guys sneak in or were they connected
- 21:34Speaker 1: to their infrastructure or related to something else. Truly tragic,
- 21:45Speaker 1: truly horrific. But nobody wants to learn the lesson. Nobody
- 21:52Speaker 1: wants to identify the enemy. Everybody's too cowardly. The right
- 21:58Speaker 1: wants to build walls. The left wants to just say,
- 22:02Speaker 1: oh no, this is like a criminal offense. You know,
- 22:05Speaker 1: we can't do anything about it. You know, shit happens,
- 22:10Speaker 1: And neither the right nor the left actually wants to
- 22:14Speaker 1: take the simple action There wouldn't take that much time,
- 22:17Speaker 1: wouldn't take that much effort, wouldn't cost that much money
- 22:21Speaker 1: to basically stop this once in for all. Again, I've
- 22:26Speaker 1: been advocating for this since nine to eleven, really well
- 22:30Speaker 1: before nine to eleven, and nothing, nothing, nothing, all right,
- 22:40Speaker 1: you know, sad? Yeah no, And here's part of the problem.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Before the Bondy incident, there was an incident in Syria
- 22:55Speaker 1: in which two American soldiers were killed, three were injured.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Number of Syrian security forces whore killed as well or
- 23:02Speaker 1: one was. I thought Trump took you know, all our
- 23:11Speaker 1: troops out of Syria, you know, six years ago. I
- 23:14Speaker 1: thought he was committed to getting all the troops home
- 23:17Speaker 1: from Syria and from York. I'll just note you can
- 23:22Speaker 1: add that to one of the many mini lies that
- 23:25Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Donald Trump tells, But we have about a
- 23:29Speaker 1: thousand troops in Syria, a thousand soldiers in Syria trying
- 23:33Speaker 1: to clean up the mess that is isis. It's taking
- 23:38Speaker 1: us a long time. We've been doing this for over
- 23:41Speaker 1: ten years because we don't want to overdo it and
- 23:47Speaker 1: we want to be nice, and you know, we have
- 23:50Speaker 1: to be really really careful and who we shoot and
- 23:52Speaker 1: when we shoot and why we shoot. So you know,
- 23:57Speaker 1: our soldiers are in harms way on a mission that
- 24:03Speaker 1: they can never win given what they're doing. You know,
- 24:07Speaker 1: kill one here, kill one there, take one out there,
- 24:10Speaker 1: take one out there, but not deal with the fundamental
- 24:12Speaker 1: problem at all. Curious where ISIS gets its money to
- 24:19Speaker 1: run its operations in Syria? What does it get its
- 24:23Speaker 1: money in Syria and uh and Iraq to run operations.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And then it turns out that the guy who killed
- 24:39Speaker 1: the the Syrian who killed the two Israeli two American
- 24:43Speaker 1: soldiers actually worked for the Syrian Security Forces. Now supposedly,
- 24:49Speaker 1: supposedly you know who knows. He was identified just a
- 24:53Speaker 1: few days ago as a risk factor. He was identified
- 24:57Speaker 1: as having extremist ideas maybe still being affiliated with ISS
- 25:04Speaker 1: and it was about to be fired from his position
- 25:08Speaker 1: in the Syrian Security Forces. Indeed, this was Friday, was
- 25:11Speaker 1: his last day, and he took the opportunity in his
- 25:15Speaker 1: last day to kill a couple of Americans to ambush them.
- 25:22Speaker 1: And this, of course, in the context of a regime
- 25:26Speaker 1: in Syria that is being pampered by the Trump administration.
- 25:31Speaker 1: A Syrian leader who has been invited to the White
- 25:34Speaker 1: House and being given the royal treatment in the White House,
- 25:38Speaker 1: who was a member of al Qaeda Antavisis in his past,
- 25:42Speaker 1: who has supposedly reformed and is now I don't know
- 25:47Speaker 1: what he is. He's certainly not a you know, he's
- 25:50Speaker 1: pretending to love the West, but his roots, his ideological roots,
- 25:55Speaker 1: and his ideological commitment is clearly to the Islamist cause.
- 26:02Speaker 1: His number one supporter is the Turkish government, a Turkish goverment,
- 26:08Speaker 1: again committed to an Islamist cause. And yet what do
- 26:13Speaker 1: we do about any of that? What do we do
- 26:16Speaker 1: about any of that? Nothing? We coddle him, we support him,
- 26:22Speaker 1: We put pressure on Israel to appease him. Here's a
- 26:28Speaker 1: regime that is thoroughly infiltrated by ISIS and al Qaida
- 26:34Speaker 1: and other Islamists of various types, with the leader that
- 26:38Speaker 1: is playing moderate, just like, just like the leaders of
- 26:42Speaker 1: Kata play the moderates while they undermine the West in
- 26:47Speaker 1: a variety of different means, by funding terrorism, by funding
- 26:51Speaker 1: our universities to teach the evils of the West, by
- 26:58Speaker 1: funding you know, groups that go out there and create
- 27:03Speaker 1: create havoc online in our social media. Yeah, I mean,
- 27:11Speaker 1: the more we caught all Islamic state like people, the
- 27:15Speaker 1: more we caught all isis like people, the more we
- 27:17Speaker 1: caught all Islamists. Don't be surprised if there's more terrorist attacks,
- 27:27Speaker 1: the more we appease the Kataris, don't be surprised. The
- 27:33Speaker 1: more terrorist attacks, the more we resist actually taking out
- 27:39Speaker 1: the regimi Iran, which is responsible for much of this,
- 27:45Speaker 1: The more terrorist attacks there will be. We had an opportunity,
- 27:48Speaker 1: Israel had an opportunity to take them out and trump
- 27:51Speaker 1: rain them in. They will only get bolder and bolder
- 28:00Speaker 1: attacks on the West. They will only get bolder on
- 28:04Speaker 1: their attacks. And and look right now, one of the
- 28:07Speaker 1: best ways to attack the West and get away with it,
- 28:09Speaker 1: the way with it in the sense of getting some
- 28:11Speaker 1: sympathy is to attack Jews. Attack Jews puts fear in
- 28:18Speaker 1: Western countries anyway, because it's in the West. But nobody
- 28:22Speaker 1: likes the Jews that much right now anyway, So what
- 28:25Speaker 1: the hell? I did want to make this point on
- 28:30Speaker 1: the Bondi Beach story, which I've made in the past,
- 28:38Speaker 1: but I think it's important to make again what this
- 28:46Speaker 1: terrorist attack exemplifies, What the weakness of the of the
- 28:50Speaker 1: West exemplifies, what the general hatred of Jews in the
- 28:58Speaker 1: West right now exemplifies makes real is the need for
- 29:06Speaker 1: the state of Israel and its particular form of immigration.
- 29:18Speaker 1: It is true that in a perfect world, in a
- 29:22Speaker 1: world where the West stood up against its enemies and
- 29:24Speaker 1: destroyed them, in a world where anti Semitism was a
- 29:28Speaker 1: relic of a distant past and gone from the world,
- 29:32Speaker 1: there would be no need for the state of Israel.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I would have no problem with open borders in Israel. Indeed,
- 29:39Speaker 1: why have a state called Israel. Jews would just live
- 29:42Speaker 1: wherever they would lived wherever they wanted, in whatever country
- 29:45Speaker 1: they wanted, wherever in the world, as normal people. Every
- 29:49Speaker 1: country would be a normal country. But we do not
- 29:55Speaker 1: live in that world. We live in a world of
- 29:59Speaker 1: Jew hate. I don't even care how you define youe.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I have no particular definition in mind people that Antisemites
- 30:09Speaker 1: define as Jews that you Jews are. As long as
- 30:17Speaker 1: anti Semitism is as rife as it is today, as
- 30:21Speaker 1: long as it's everywhere, as long as Jews can just
- 30:27Speaker 1: be killed in this you know, celebrating Hanuka on a
- 30:33Speaker 1: beach in Australia, there needs to be at least one
- 30:38Speaker 1: political entity in the world that is dedicated itself to
- 30:45Speaker 1: being a safe haven for them. That's the purpose of Israel.
- 30:49Speaker 1: That's why I was created, It's why it exists, why
- 30:52Speaker 1: it should continue to exist, and why it should always
- 30:54Speaker 1: have a position of Jews can come here freely. Indeed,
- 31:03Speaker 1: you'll see, you know, growing immigration to Israel by Jews
- 31:06Speaker 1: from Europe, where anti Semitism is going through the roof
- 31:09Speaker 1: from places like Australia, where it just became very real.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Remember this attack, it was not unusual in the sense
- 31:17Speaker 1: that synagogues who attacked in Brisbane, other Jewish events have
- 31:21Speaker 1: been attacked in Australia. This was not completely out of
- 31:25Speaker 1: the blue. This is just a much worse form. But
- 31:34Speaker 1: you know, the justification for the existence of Israel, and
- 31:38Speaker 1: the justification for its particular immigration policy, has to do
- 31:42Speaker 1: with the fact that people, including its neighbors, one to
- 31:49Speaker 1: destroy the people that it is a safe harbor for.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I mean, people always tweet me, should Israel open immigration
- 31:59Speaker 1: to Muslims? Well, of course not. It needs to stay
- 32:04Speaker 1: a Jewish state for only one reason, not because I
- 32:07Speaker 1: think there's any kind of importance to being a Jewish
- 32:09Speaker 1: state or any kind of ethnocentric bullshit, but because it
- 32:13Speaker 1: needs to be a safe haven from anti Semitism, and
- 32:18Speaker 1: because and because every single one of its neighbors and
- 32:23Speaker 1: Muslims from all over the world have dedicated themselves to
- 32:26Speaker 1: killing Jews and destroying Israel. You know, people compare that
- 32:33Speaker 1: to immigration to the United States. The United States was
- 32:37Speaker 1: not created to preserve a people that were being killed
- 32:41Speaker 1: and slaughtered elsewhere, and nobody wants. Really, no immigrant wants
- 32:49Speaker 1: I mean maybe a few handful to destroy America. I mean,
- 32:56Speaker 1: the Mexicans are not coming over the bordher or the Guatemalans,
- 33:00Speaker 1: or the Salvadorians or the Venezuelans are not coming across
- 33:03Speaker 1: the boat to destroy America. It's not their purpose, it's
- 33:06Speaker 1: not what they want. I mean, yes, there's some gang members,
- 33:10Speaker 1: kill them, get them out. I don't care. Yes, there
- 33:15Speaker 1: you know, they might be some Muslim terrorists coming across
- 33:18Speaker 1: the boat, Capture them, send them back, or put them
- 33:21Speaker 1: in jail forever. But really, how can you compare the
- 33:31Speaker 1: two countries. I mean again, when people can pay immigration
- 33:36Speaker 1: to American immigration to Israel, it just shows they cannot think.
- 33:40Speaker 1: They cannot think. Thinking requires more than coming up with
- 33:48Speaker 1: label slogans. Open immigration, if it must be open to everybody, everywhere,
- 33:53Speaker 1: all the time, in every country, No, it mustn't. It
- 33:57Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily. Context matters, situation matters. State of the world
- 34:09Speaker 1: is Oh, put it this way, the state of people
- 34:12Speaker 1: on Twitter is very very very depressing, very depressing. All right.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Two events that at least for now, are not related
- 34:25Speaker 1: to the Islamist threat to the west on Saturday. On Saturday,
- 34:36Speaker 1: there was a shooting at Brown University. I guess during
- 34:41Speaker 1: a exam prep session in the Engineering building, a unidentified
- 34:48Speaker 1: person walked into the classroom and started shooting. Two students
- 34:55Speaker 1: were killed. A number of others were injured and made
- 34:59Speaker 1: it into the hospital. The two students that killed were
- 35:05Speaker 1: Mukhammad Aziz Umbuzokhov, who was a student from Uzbekistan in
- 35:14Speaker 1: Central Asia. The other was the head of the Young
- 35:25Speaker 1: Republicans in the Young Republicans at at Brown University, Ela Kook. Indeed,
- 35:35Speaker 1: there's some conspiracy theories going around saying that she was
- 35:38Speaker 1: the target of the attack. The whole point was to
- 35:40Speaker 1: kill her as a leftist, killing the head of the
- 35:43Speaker 1: Republican you know whatever. Nobody knows exactly what the motivation was.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Nobody knows who did it, why he was doing it.
- 35:56Speaker 1: At some point yesterday supposedly a person of interest was
- 36:01Speaker 1: taken into custody an army an army vette who was
- 36:07Speaker 1: a student in Brown, a young, a young man. But
- 36:13Speaker 1: it turned out that he is not the suspect anymore
- 36:16Speaker 1: and he was released. Well yet today at this point
- 36:20Speaker 1: there is no suspect. They do know, they do not
- 36:24Speaker 1: know who did it. They don't know why he did it.
- 36:31Speaker 1: H You know, the people in the campus of Brown
- 36:35Speaker 1: University are concerned because the killer is still loose, which
- 36:41Speaker 1: is rare in events like this. They usually caught pretty quickly.
- 36:47Speaker 1: So you know, that's where we have Providence public schools
- 36:53Speaker 1: have been I have canceled extracurricular activities. People are kind
- 36:58Speaker 1: of hunkering down. It turns out the Uzbek student who
- 37:10Speaker 1: was killed, you know, his dream was to be a surgeon.
- 37:14Speaker 1: He was quite a brilliant kid.
- 37:17Speaker 2: It is.
- 37:19Speaker 1: It is truly sad, you know, this young woman, ell
- 37:23Speaker 1: a Cook, you know, just just horrific, just just life
- 37:30Speaker 1: snuffed out for no particular reason. Right. It seems like
- 37:43Speaker 1: nobody got a good look at him, and and the
- 37:45Speaker 1: the video footage the eight hundred campus on campus, uh
- 37:50Speaker 1: didn't get a good good look at him. You know.
- 37:52Speaker 1: My guess is I'll find him. They could take a while.
- 37:56Speaker 1: And then the fourth kind of horrific, uh bloody events
- 38:01Speaker 1: of the weekend was that it turned out that Rob Bliner,
- 38:06Speaker 1: the actor and director, and his wife were mooted with
- 38:13Speaker 1: a knife knife attack. It appears they were moted by
- 38:16Speaker 1: their son. Their son who had a drug problem and
- 38:23Speaker 1: who was I guess homeless for a while, but you know,
- 38:30Speaker 1: I don't know the details. And you know it really
- 38:33Speaker 1: it sounds like a horrible, miserable thing. But Rob Bliner
- 38:38Speaker 1: and his wife, you know, just stabbed to death. He
- 38:42Speaker 1: was seventy eight, I think, and you know, an amazing
- 38:48Speaker 1: and amazing career, A real leftist without any question, ideologically
- 38:56Speaker 1: clearly of the left wing, but yet quite an amazing artist.
- 39:02Speaker 1: You know, I remember Rob Ryan f from from All
- 39:09Speaker 1: in the Family, the TV series in the nineteen seventies.
- 39:12Speaker 1: We played the leftist right. He played the leftist you know,
- 39:17Speaker 1: opposite Archie Bunker, kind of I guess, you know, a
- 39:21Speaker 1: mega guy before his time. I mean, Archie Bunker would
- 39:25Speaker 1: finish a mega perfectly today.
- 39:33Speaker 2: What did you what was this was an I'm just.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Who did I'm trying to sorry, I'm just looking up something.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Uh uh, what's then?
- 39:58Speaker 1: Let's see right now. Directed a lot of pretty amazing films.
- 40:10Speaker 1: The Princess Bride, Princess Bride. You know, I don't know
- 40:15Speaker 1: who doesn't like The Princess Bride. This is spinal Tap
- 40:19Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four, stand by Me, a real classic
- 40:26Speaker 1: about a teacher, when Harry met Sally Misery, which is,
- 40:32Speaker 1: you know, super intense movie. A Few Good Men was
- 40:39Speaker 1: actually really good. Let's see the Wolf on Wall Street,
- 40:44Speaker 1: Sleepless in Seattle. Looking for other movies that he directed,
- 40:51Speaker 1: I mean there's a bunch of them, but a lot
- 40:53Speaker 1: of them, I don't know. Those are the ones I
- 40:55Speaker 1: really know, those are the ones that are the famous ones.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Looking at these others, yeah, nothing really comes to mind. Okay,
- 41:05Speaker 1: so those are the movies. Those are pretty amazing. I mean,
- 41:10Speaker 1: so he had quite a career. As I said, he
- 41:13Speaker 1: was quite a leftist and very very anti Trump. And
- 41:19Speaker 1: as you would expect, Trump had the perfect response. Two,
- 41:26Speaker 1: rob Bin is a death. I mean the extent to
- 41:31Speaker 1: which Trump is a I don't know, a despicable human being.
- 41:38Speaker 1: It's just it's just hard to phantom, just hard to
- 41:40Speaker 1: phantom how ugly of a soul this man has, and
- 41:46Speaker 1: that he's been put in a position where he exposes
- 41:50Speaker 1: his soul to all of us on a regular basis
- 41:55Speaker 1: and people cheer, people cheering, responsor, this is what Donald
- 42:01Speaker 1: Trump wrote. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented
- 42:09Speaker 1: movie director and comedy stuff has passed away together with
- 42:13Speaker 1: his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused
- 42:18Speaker 1: others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a
- 42:23Speaker 1: mind crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome, something referred
- 42:29Speaker 1: to as TDS. He was known to driven people crazy
- 42:33Speaker 1: by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with
- 42:37Speaker 1: his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration
- 42:42Speaker 1: surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness and with the
- 42:45Speaker 1: golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before.
- 42:50Speaker 1: May Robin Michelle rist in peace. I mean talk about disgusting. Yes,
- 43:02Speaker 1: Trump didn't say that. He posted that. He posted that
- 43:05Speaker 1: on truth whatever he calls it. It's being reposted all
- 43:10Speaker 1: over Twitter. Basically, Robina died of Trump. You agent syndrome.
- 43:17Speaker 1: It's just unthinkable that this man is our president. It's
- 43:24Speaker 1: just crazy. It's just crazy. And that's some out there,
- 43:27Speaker 1: some out there I won't mention who consider him one
- 43:33Speaker 1: of the greatest presidents in American history, if not the greatest.
- 43:38Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it really is sick and disgusting.
- 43:43Speaker 1: I mean, talk about narcissism. He can't even you know,
- 43:48Speaker 1: just take a tragedy and just it's about him. It's
- 43:56Speaker 1: about you know, how the guy treated him and how
- 44:00Speaker 1: horrible that is. All right, let me remind everybody. We've
- 44:06Speaker 1: got a few more stories. But let me remind everybody
- 44:08Speaker 1: that the show is made possible through the support of
- 44:10Speaker 1: people like you. I noticed I criticized Trump and a
- 44:13Speaker 1: number of people left. This show is made possible by
- 44:18Speaker 1: from people like you watch us. Listeners like you. Can't
- 44:22Speaker 1: do the show without you. We have goals and super
- 44:25Speaker 1: chat is a great way to support the show. It's
- 44:27Speaker 1: just a great, great way to set the nature of
- 44:31Speaker 1: the show. Ask questions and I'll answer all the questions,
- 44:34Speaker 1: even the obnoxious ones. So feel free to ask a question.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Put some dollars behind it, show support for the show.
- 44:41Speaker 1: Value for value. You're listening, you get something out of
- 44:44Speaker 1: the show, you know, trade with me, value for value.
- 44:54Speaker 1: So that is that. That was a horrible, bloody weekend.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Beyond that, more bad news coming out of Hong Kong.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Jimmy Lay. Jimmy Lay is one of the great entrepreneurs
- 45:07Speaker 1: of the twentieth century. Jimmy Lay is a man who
- 45:11Speaker 1: came to Hong Kong with nothing, nothing but the show
- 45:15Speaker 1: in his back, literally nothing. As a teenager. He came alone.
- 45:21Speaker 1: He worked as a worker in the textile industry in
- 45:26Speaker 1: the in the in Hong Kong, in the sweatshops of
- 45:31Speaker 1: Hong Kong. He saved money and he bought one of
- 45:35Speaker 1: those factories, and he became an incredibly successful businessman, ultimately
- 45:41Speaker 1: selling his business holdings in the textile industry and investing
- 45:50Speaker 1: the money in the media industry I think was called Apple.
- 45:57Speaker 1: His media industry focused on Hong Kong being a free
- 46:02Speaker 1: country and spent much of the ink on criticizing the
- 46:08Speaker 1: communist Chinese regime, the authoritarianism of the Chinese, and then
- 46:14Speaker 1: the Chinese attempt and successful attemp ultimately to take over
- 46:19Speaker 1: Hong Kong. He supported the anti government demonstrations that engulfed
- 46:27Speaker 1: Hong Kong in twenty nineteen, and he really did represent
- 46:33Speaker 1: even though he was, you know, at the time seventy,
- 46:38Speaker 1: well into his seventies, he represented this movement, those Primlia
- 46:43Speaker 1: movement of young people opposing China's ever growing infringement on
- 46:49Speaker 1: the island. When China took over the island and you
- 46:54Speaker 1: taking advantage of COVID when the world was distracted, not
- 46:57Speaker 1: that the world would have done anything anyway, took over
- 47:00Speaker 1: the island. They arrested Jimmy Lai, and I think it
- 47:05Speaker 1: was Friday probably that he was finally found guilty by
- 47:15Speaker 1: the court in Hong Kong, found guilty of violating the
- 47:21Speaker 1: national security kind of the national security laws that the
- 47:27Speaker 1: China had imposed on the island. And he will probably
- 47:35Speaker 1: be sentenced to life in prison, life in prison. So
- 47:38Speaker 1: this is, you know, horrific news. Ah, you know, Taiwan
- 47:47Speaker 1: has condemned it. We'll see if any other country is
- 47:49Speaker 1: condemned it. But Taiwan has condemned it. Uh it is.
- 47:53Speaker 1: It has said that the vote undermines the Hong Kong
- 47:55Speaker 1: government's efforts to paint a better picture of the city.
- 48:00Speaker 1: To quote them, no amount of storytelling could cover up
- 48:02Speaker 1: the fact that it suppresses freedom of speech and persecutes
- 48:07Speaker 1: democratic activists. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, the in
- 48:17Speaker 1: effect the governor. The Chinese governor of Hong Kong said
- 48:21Speaker 1: after the verdict that Jimmy Lay had used Apple Daily,
- 48:25Speaker 1: which was the publication, to create social conflict and incite
- 48:29Speaker 1: hatred against China and Hong Kong. His actions were shameful
- 48:33Speaker 1: and intentions malicious, and you know they are happy with
- 48:39Speaker 1: the verdict of the court. So again, one of the
- 48:45Speaker 1: great entrepreneurs, he was a billionaire, one of the great entrepreneurs,
- 48:49Speaker 1: one of the great figures in Hong Kong's fight for
- 48:53Speaker 1: freedom for liberty. Found guilty of violating the Chinese security laws.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Will be spending the rest of his life, probably in jail.
- 49:03Speaker 1: He's seventy eight. I think he's seventy eight, seventy eight
- 49:09Speaker 1: years old right now. Yesterday in Chile, the Chileans had
- 49:24Speaker 1: the final round of the elections. The election was between
- 49:29Speaker 1: a Catholic conservative, you know, right wing figure by the
- 49:38Speaker 1: name of Cass, Jose Antonio Cass, and a communist I
- 49:46Speaker 1: mean not just not because I'm calling him names communists,
- 49:50Speaker 1: but no, he was the representative of the Communist party.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Cast won by you know, you consider it a landslide,
- 49:58Speaker 1: fifty nine to forty one fifty one. Chile is the
- 50:03Speaker 1: last an additional country to join. Kind of the spread
- 50:09Speaker 1: of right leaning politicians, there was a huge swing to
- 50:15Speaker 1: the left over the last say eight years. Chile went left.
- 50:19Speaker 1: About eight years ago, Columbia went left. Bolivia, of course
- 50:24Speaker 1: has been left wing for twenty years. Brazil went left
- 50:27Speaker 1: with Lula, and of course a Gentina before me, lay
- 50:34Speaker 1: was left and really South America's dominated by left wing parties.
- 50:39Speaker 1: And then over the last few months we've seen a
- 50:42Speaker 1: turn to the right. Now, in the case of we
- 50:46Speaker 1: saw Bolivia, after twenty years of socialism, reject the socialist
- 50:50Speaker 1: and voter center right figure. In Ecuador, a center right
- 50:56Speaker 1: candidate was re elected, and now Chile joins that with
- 51:00Speaker 1: with with Caste. That cast is not Jose Milai. Cast
- 51:06Speaker 1: is not have Emila, sorry, have emil cast is not
- 51:11Speaker 1: a free market guy. Cast is a populist, religious conservative. Uh.
- 51:20Speaker 1: He didn't run on this because I mean, this is
- 51:23Speaker 1: like the third election he's run, and in the past
- 51:26Speaker 1: he's always lost, and you know, the first time you ran,
- 51:29Speaker 1: he lost by a big margin. So he changed. This
- 51:32Speaker 1: is his campaign tactics. But the reality is that he
- 51:36Speaker 1: this guy is massively anti abortion, anti gay rights. Uh,
- 51:43Speaker 1: very very very Catholic and for the imposition kind of
- 51:47Speaker 1: of of Catholic ideology as part of his governing, as
- 51:52Speaker 1: part of the as part of governing you know. The uh.
- 51:58Speaker 1: He also you know, he does not necessarily does not
- 52:02Speaker 1: believe in free markets. He's not a socialist, but he's
- 52:04Speaker 1: a he's a he's a statist, very much a statist.
- 52:09Speaker 1: He is also the reason he won. And what he
- 52:12Speaker 1: really ran on was not again free markets. What he
- 52:16Speaker 1: ran on was low and oder what he land what
- 52:19Speaker 1: he ran on was anti immigration, clean up the gangs.
- 52:23Speaker 1: Chile has seen over the last few years, an increase
- 52:27Speaker 1: in gang activity, it's seen an increase in drug smuggling,
- 52:33Speaker 1: it's seen an increase in crime. And he ran on,
- 52:38Speaker 1: you know, I am going to clean the place up.
- 52:41Speaker 1: I'm gonna get tough on criminals. I'm going to shut
- 52:44Speaker 1: down the border. I guess there's quite a bit of
- 52:47Speaker 1: illegal immigration from Venezuela coming in and including some I
- 52:54Speaker 1: guess Colombia and Venezuelan gangs. So this is the issue
- 53:00Speaker 1: people care about, right, People care about immigration, gangs and crime,
- 53:07Speaker 1: and or at least they seem to. And he leveraged
- 53:10Speaker 1: that to win. I mean, there was in the previous
- 53:13Speaker 1: round there was actually a free market guy, Johannes Kaiser,
- 53:19Speaker 1: who was a real, you know, a free market Melay
- 53:24Speaker 1: type candidate, not quite with the crazy charisma of Melay,
- 53:28Speaker 1: but a free market guy who really stands for freedom.
- 53:35Speaker 1: But he came in fourth place. He landed up. He
- 53:40Speaker 1: and another central right candidate together one twenty six percent
- 53:43Speaker 1: of the vote in the first round. They both endorsed
- 53:46Speaker 1: cast So if you add their votes to what he
- 53:50Speaker 1: Casted got in the first round, that is basically his
- 53:54Speaker 1: margin of victory. So you know this cast the cast
- 54:02Speaker 1: guy is a fan of Perone, not Peron, sorry of Pinochet.
- 54:10Speaker 1: He is a he's not a good guy. He's not
- 54:13Speaker 1: a he's not a good guy. He's not on the
- 54:15Speaker 1: side of a freedom. But I guess you know, he's
- 54:20Speaker 1: better than a communist, and that's how Chilean's voted. It's
- 54:24Speaker 1: sad that somebody who stood for fem markets and liberty
- 54:27Speaker 1: didn't get didn't do better in in this election, and
- 54:34Speaker 1: was not in a position to beat the communist. So
- 54:37Speaker 1: Latin America is tunning right right wing, which will make
- 54:41Speaker 1: certainly make Trump happy. It's the kind of right wing
- 54:45Speaker 1: Trump is a statist right wing, not a freedom loving
- 54:49Speaker 1: right wing. But socialism is dying, at least for now
- 54:54Speaker 1: in Latin America. I think you'll see the left wing
- 54:58Speaker 1: president of Colombia defeat in the next election. The big question,
- 55:03Speaker 1: mark whiz, is whether Lula can be defeated in Brazil,
- 55:08Speaker 1: whether the anti Luda forces can put together you can
- 55:13Speaker 1: find a candidate who can rise up against them. And
- 55:16Speaker 1: then ultimately, can anything be done about the left in Mexico.
- 55:21Speaker 1: I mean, the left just dominates Mexico. They've taken over
- 55:25Speaker 1: the country. They dominate the legislature, they dominate the presidency.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Cannot change anytime in the future. But at least Argentina, now, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador,
- 55:38Speaker 1: all you know, in the right of center, and hopefully
- 55:42Speaker 1: Colombia will join them. And the big prize, of course
- 55:45Speaker 1: is Brazil if they can defeat Lula. All right, let's see, Yeah,
- 55:55Speaker 1: that's that was the last story. Oh Animal Farm, God
- 55:59Speaker 1: so animal of course a short book, small book. I
- 56:05Speaker 1: read it when I was a teenager. By of course,
- 56:12Speaker 1: the author's name escapes me, which is ridiculous because it's
- 56:16Speaker 1: right there. It's not like I don't know it. By
- 56:22Speaker 1: Oil right, Jojo Owell. It was written in nineteen forty five,
- 56:28Speaker 1: so interestingly it was written after Anthem, after Anthem. And
- 56:37Speaker 1: there appears that there is a new movie out, a
- 56:44Speaker 1: new movie of Animal Farm with very fancy you know, animation.
- 56:50Speaker 1: And there's a trailer for the movie, And if you
- 56:53Speaker 1: watch the trailer of the movie, you will discover then,
- 56:59Speaker 1: rather than and Animal Farm being a critique of tautalitarianism
- 57:07Speaker 1: of communism of Soviet Russia, the new Animal Farm, as
- 57:15Speaker 1: adopted by these filmmakers, is now a movie that is,
- 57:24Speaker 1: you know, teaching us about the dangers of capitalism and
- 57:30Speaker 1: corporate corruption. So Napoleon, who is the Joseph Stalin character
- 57:41Speaker 1: in the book, is rewritten to be sympathetic, and Pinkington,
- 57:47Speaker 1: who in the book represents the US in Britain, is
- 57:51Speaker 1: written rewritten as an evil billionaire. Can you imagine what
- 58:03Speaker 1: you know? Once Iran's It works going to the public domain,
- 58:09Speaker 1: can you imagine what you know people will do with
- 58:16Speaker 1: her books, her ideas. It really is scary if this
- 58:26Speaker 1: they can do this a simple book like nineteen eighty
- 58:28Speaker 1: four and like Animal Farm. Of course, let's wait for
- 58:32Speaker 1: the remake of nineteen eighty four, right, can you imagine
- 58:36Speaker 1: what that'll be like? All right? That is I think
- 58:43Speaker 1: let's see I had one of the Yeah, we'll save
- 58:46Speaker 1: that for another time. All right. That is the news
- 58:49Speaker 1: for Monday, December fifteenth. I want to remind you guys
- 58:58Speaker 1: that tonight we've got another show. I'd be hosting Vincent Geloso,
- 59:04Speaker 1: who is an economist, an economist at I think he's

- 59:12Speaker 1: at Jude Mason University. Yes, he's a free market economist.
- 59:15Speaker 1: He came to my attention that when Trump imposed tariffs
- 59:22Speaker 1: on Canada originally and was all becoming Canada fifty first
- 59:26Speaker 1: state and all this, Vincent went online and said Canada's
- 59:30Speaker 1: response should be to lower taris in the United States,
- 59:38Speaker 1: lower taris in the United States. I thought that was brilliant.
- 59:43Speaker 1: It was exactly what I was saying. Not very many
- 59:46Speaker 1: people in public with that point of view, So check
- 59:48Speaker 1: him out. We're gonna be talking today primarily we'll talk

- 1:00:04Speaker 1: in the end of the nineteenth century early twentieth century.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: You know who benefited during that period. You know what
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: happened to inequality? For example, how did the economy to
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: what extent did it grow? We keep hearing about great
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: depressions during this period? Was the depression? What what happened
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: during the Gilded Age in American history? And to what
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: extent were the workers exploited by the capitalists. We'll talk

- 1:06:21Speaker 1: Finally remind you Patreon Patreon dot com. I also want
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: to remind you of a of a couple of things.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: I'm going to be in Austin and I have some
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: time free time, and I thought of doing a seminar
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: during my time in Austin. If you would be interested
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: in a seminar during my time in Austin, send me
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: an email. You're on at your on book show dot com.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: Just send an email saying interested in Austin. If you
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: if you if you have a particular seminar, like on
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: capitalism or on public speaking on how to be a
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: rational egoist, just put put the kind of seminar you
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: would like to participate in the thing. And it probably
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: costs around five hundred bucks four or five hours on.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: It is going to be a weekday, not a weekend,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: so during the week, so if you're interested, send me
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: that email. I'm starting to accumulate names to see if
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: it's worth while doing it. Same thing for London for
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: the last weekend in February. If you would like to
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: participate in a seminar like I did last time members
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: in London or a few months ago, then just put
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: in an email London, put in the you know, maybe
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: a topic for the seminar that you'd be interested in,
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: and just send me that. So I start creating lists
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: of people interested in London, people interested in Austin, Texas. Also,
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I'm just kind of just an idea that it came
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: up with yesterday while we were discussing Einman's essay the
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: Missing Link on the members only show and if you're
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: not if you are a member, check out the member
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: Zoni show on the Missing Link. I think you really
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: like it. And if you're not a member, become a member.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. So I wanted. One of the ideas
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: that came out of that session was what if we
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: did a study group on OPAH, objectivism, the philosophy of
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: vine Man, learn a Peacocks book and basically maybe meet
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: every two weeks and I would lead a discussion or
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: I would discuss a section of OPAH and we would
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: go over the whole book. It would probably take a
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: year or two, maybe even two years, and we would
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: go through the whole book. So I'm considering that. I'm
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to manage it logistically. I'm
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: also trying to figure out how how much to charge
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: for it. But just put it on your radar that
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: if you would be interested in something like that. I'm
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: hoping to make that available in the next few months.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the cost will be. You know,
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: it's something that I'm contemplating doing right now. Would have
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: to be I don't know, I don't know, you know it.
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: It might we might even be doing by zoom and
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: have everybody on zoom and and and really make it interactive.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: And if I do it that way, I don't want
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: to be too too large, so I might have to Sorry,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: I might charge more money. Anyway, we'll see something to
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: put on your on your screen. What else did I want? Yeah, well,
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: we'll we'll, we'll cap it at that. I'm sure there's
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: other stuff stuff. Oh yeah, I want to remind you
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: about the rands Day conference. Just do rans day dot
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: com rans rand with an ass day dot com. At
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: the bottom of that screen. There's a link to the
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: conference page. That's at the end of January, very last
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: weekend in January, and it'll be a conference I'll be
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: speaking at. Prices go up at the end of December,
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: so make sure that if you want to come, and
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: you should. It's a lot of fun, a lot of
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: time to socialize, a lot of great speakers, Harry Ben
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Swaning and Peter Schwartz, Geene Maroney, uh and Ellen Canna
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: and Don Watkins and I'm sure I'm missing somebody, uh
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: but but yeah, you know, it'll be it'll be Oh,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Sashauna Meilgram will be there. So it's gonna be a
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: lot of fun. Please join us uh and uh in
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: in Florida at the very end of January. All right,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: let's see what Fela says. That would be amazing. Jennifer
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: SI's zoom would be nice. Uh yeah, I mean the
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: challenge is going to be to figure out how much
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: to charge for it, how to charge for it, how
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: to schedule it, you know, maybe every second week on
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: a Sunday something like that. Anyway, we'll we'll figure this
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: out and we'll I will let you know how we're
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: gonna do it. All right, you guys have been great
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: while I've been chatting here in uh in in asking
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: questions and doing stickers and getting us to the target.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, let's start.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: Let's see I always go with the largest amount of
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: money contributed, so let's start with Rob eighty Australian dollars.
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Robb is in Australia. He says, people who live in
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: Bondi tend to be successful, optimistic and ambitious. I love
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: taking my young son there to enjoy the atmosphere and
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: uplifting sense of life. Those two animals were not worthy
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: of such a place. I feel deeply sad about it
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: about it all. Yeah, I mean I completely get it.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: And yes, I mean Bondi Beach is one of the
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: most famous beaches in the world. I mean, Sydney is
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: truly one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: Bondi Beach is the main beach, or the most famous
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: beach in Sydney, I think. And yes, the homes, the
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: condos that lie in the street that is borders the beach,
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: you know, is a wealthy place. It's a place of
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: successful people. Actually gave a talk not far from there
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: in somebody's home and actually the local head of the
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: Jewish organization there. In twenty twenty four, Nicos was with me.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: The two of us each gave a talk at this
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: guy's house. A few people from the Jewish community came.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: I hope that none of the people who were there
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: were the victims, but I don't know. But it was
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: a beautiful home overlooking overlooking the ocean in Sydney, again,
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: a beautiful city. And Australia's always I've always thought of
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Australia as a you know, very similar to the United States,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: very much like the United States, a kind of a
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: can do spirit and sense of life. And it's really
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: tragic to see, but not surprising given what's been happening
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: over the last few years, and given that the the
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: extent to which this leftist government in Australia has been
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: constantly appeasing Islamists within Australia and the Islamists in Gaza.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: I mean, remember this government recognized the Palestinian state as
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: a reward for hamas you know, for October seventh. And
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: if you reward terrorists for the kind of brutality, barbarism
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: or October seventh, it shouldn't shock you that that same
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: barbarism shows up on your shores on your shows. I
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: thank you, Rob, really appreciate the support. And yes, I
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: mean the sad thing is the walking along Bondi Beaches
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: is not quite going to be the same. Is not
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: quite going to be the same. Anthony also from Australia,
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: also eighty eighty Australian dollars. Thank you. The analysis of
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: the Bondi Beach attack is spawn on why is the
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: worst so afrate identify the enemy? Nobody dares to mention
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: the real cause, let alone, let go then go after them.
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: I'm left feeling totally empty. I mean, this is the reality.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I mean. After nine eleven, remember Jeorge Bush declat to
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: won terrorism, not an Islamic terrorism, not an Islamism, not
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: an Islamic extremism or fascism or Islami totalitarianism or anything
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: with the wood Islam in it. Declator won terrorism and
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: then declared that Islam was a religion of peace. A
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: month after nine to eleven, the Ramadan was celebrated in
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: the White House. In the White House, and it's it's
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: just it was despicable. Then it's despicable. Look back at
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: it and you can understand everything that's happened, since that
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: massively emboldens the enemy, massively emboldens it. It's cowardly. It's
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: cowardly because if you name the enemy, you actually have
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: to do something about him. If you name the enemy,
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: it suddenly becomes clear that you have many dealings with
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: that enemy. In suddenly, post nine to eleven, Saudi Arabia
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: was the home of much of Islamic fundamentalism, of the
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Islamist movement, and nobody wanted to acknowledge that Iran jumps
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: up as the number one What do you do about Iran? Well,
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: if you don't name the enemy, you don't have to
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: do anything about ivon. But if you do name an enemy,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: you actually have to do something about them. And of course,
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: if you name the enemy, you're naming a religion. And
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: for religious people that is very scary. And for secular
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: people who being taught, being raised on the idea that
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: all cultures are the same, all ideas are equal, everything
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: is the same, it's you know, it's really really hard
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: for them then to say no, no, this set of ideas,
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: this culture, this interpretation of this religion is fundamentally evil.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: They just can't bring themselves to do it. It goes against
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: their beliefs. And add to that again the cowardice, because
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: if they named it, they would have to act on it.
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: When you name something this is the enemy, well what
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: are you going to do about it? If you name
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: something like terror, then you can do pretty much anything
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: you want. You can go after Sadam Hussein, even though
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: he had no no relation to nine to eleven. He
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: was in nothing, nobody. There's no connection between him and
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: and the kind of terrorism and the kind of threat
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: that America and the West faced. You can ignore Iran,
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: you can ignore Qata today. I mean, if you name
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: you know, Islamism, and you say, the number one organization
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: preaching Islamism outside of Iran is the Muslim Brotherhood, And
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: you say, where's the Muslim Brotherhood based? Who funds the
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: Muslim Brotherhood, who allows them, who echoes them and provides
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: them with a megaphone? Was the Katari's? Oh well, then
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: I have to do something about Kata. But Kata, just
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: if you're Donald Trump, Kota just gave me this gift
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: of a big get plane, and Kata are our friends,
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: and Kata gives us this and they give us that.
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: We can't go after Kata so it clashed with other
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: personal values you might have as a politician. But look,
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: since nine to eleven, the politicians of the West have
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: done nothing but fail us, fail us consistently and systematically.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: If you name Islamism as the enemy, then now you
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: can go shut down certain mosques. Now you can kick
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: out certain preachers. Now you can put people into jails.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: But then you're infringing on their religious freedom. Yeah, if
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: they're advocating for killing people, then their religious freedom ends
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: at that advocacy. It's not just theoretical. They're literally advocating
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: for killing people, then it's time they go to jail.
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: But for that, you have to be willing to declare
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: an enemy. But that would require then that would necessitate action.
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: Action that is scary, scary. And by the way, the
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: people who are doing least about this, I mean, and
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: put it in another way, in that they do nothing
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: about this. There's no difference here between the left and
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: the right. George Bush is from the right, Donald Trump
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: is from the right. They've done nothing, nothing, zero, zilch, nada.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: So you know, it's just it's this isn't a problem
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: of left and right. This is a problem Western leaders
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: throughout overall all of them. Kve dempter, thank you, thank
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: you for the sticker. All right, let's keep going with
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: the fifty dollars questions giving how rich this is, Michael,
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: giving how rich and cushy our lives up? I find
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: out how to believe the West will tolerate centration camps
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: and mass starvation. I suppose that people are mindless and
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: hateful enough it could happen. But that would be quite
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: an achievement. Well, I wouldn't call it an achievement, but yeah,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: I mean, I don't see any problem of tolerating that.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is that people already angry and
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: pissed off, and they already tolerate you know, ICE agents
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: walking around the streets with heavy equipment and bulletproof vests
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: and faces covered up, you know, arresting US citizens, arresting
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: not even arresting because they don't, you know, being violent
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: against US citizens and non US citizens, just just in
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: horrific ways, hardworking people. Now there's a rumor that they're
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: going to change it, and ICE is only going to
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: have to criminals. I believe it when I see it.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: But right now they're harassing peoples in the streets of
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: America and almost nobody are you saying anything. I mean,
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: it's not popular, but it's also not being demonstrated against.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: In mass it's being tolerated. So given the response to ICE,
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if twenty years for now the
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: West was ready for much more rand. I could just
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: send a supersticker, but they are all so silly I
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: can't bring myself to do it. So here's fifty dollars
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: in trade. I can't often listen live, but please know
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: I always catch the show whenever I can. Thank you,
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: ED really really appreciate the support. Thank you. Oh and
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: by the way, for all of you guys, I should
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: have said this earlier. We'll be doing a big fundraising
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: show December thirty, first New Year's Eve, like I do
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: every year, We're gonna have a super aggressive fundraising targets.
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: I hope a lot of you show up and even
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: for five or ten minutes to come and do a sticker,
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: do a super chat, ask questions. I'll be talking about
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: kind of summarizing twenty twenty five. I'm looking forward to
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. We'll be going for four hours from
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: you know, somewhere around one pm. East Coast time until
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: five six pm East Coast time. So join us. It'll
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: be hopefully it'll be a lot of fun. And yeah,
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: it'll be an opportunity to support what we're doing here
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: at the Iron Brook Showright, Andrew. A feature of a
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: nihilist is secondhandedness. He relies on others' focus. He's terrified
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: of knowing his mind as alone. If he can't focus
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: by parasitism, he has a choice destroy himself for face
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: reality alone. The latter is a first step towards the good. Yeah,
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: facing the world reality alone is the first step towards
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: the good. But how many people have the courage to
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: do that, particularly if they're nihilists or have already been nihilists.
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: The second handedness is entrenched in them. But that is
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: the first step. But yes, feature of nihilism is definitely
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: second handedness, because you can't live without some values. But
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: you don't have any personal values, so you just go
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: after what people tell you is a value. That's what
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: you pursue. Thank you, Andrew, It's incredibly generous, okay, Jacob.
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty six, the Childhood Vaccine Manufactures not yet bankrupt,
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: not yet bankrupt because of a vaccine injury lawsuits begged
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: fed government for liability immunity. Since then, three x more
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: vaccines added to child schedule four point five billion in
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: conversation since eighty six. Yeah, I mean that's right. I
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: mean there's a number of problems here. One is amazing
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: the childhood vaccines have increased like that because they have
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: saved the lives and saved from pain and illness and
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: misery hundreds of millions of children. So thank you to
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: the drug manufacturers from manufacturing those vaccines. They're incredibly safe.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: There's some of the safest medications anybody takes anyway, anybody
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: takes anyway. I mean, it was just this massive study
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: looking back at COVID vaccines. It was pretty amazing. This
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: is a study that looked at tens of millions of
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: people in Europe who gotten the COVID vaccine, and not
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: only did it find that all caused mortality didn't go
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: up as everybody expected, as all the conspiracy theories expected,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: but all caused montality actually went down. That somehow the
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: COVID vaccines helped shield people from other diseases. You know.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: Another example of that, by the way, is the fact
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: that there is Now I've seen a couple of studies
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: now that have come out and say the shingos vaccine,
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: the shingos vaccine, which you should all get if you're
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: over fifty, the shingos vaccine is now corlated with and
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: again we don't understand the cause of mechanisms. I'm not
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: going to say it's caused, but it's corelated with a
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: significant decline in dementia. So if you get a shingos vaccine,
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: dementia goes down, the probability that you'll get dementia goes down,
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: at least it seems that way. That's amazing. So yay
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: for the shingos vaccine. I got the shingles vaccine, so
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: vaccine is amazing. So I don't know. Now there is
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: an issue in the United States. The issue in the
- 1:25:49Speaker 1: United States is we live in a litigious society. We
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: live in a place where people can sue for almost anything,
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: where you reason award ridiculous penalties on those lawsuits, where
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: there is no standard. It used to be before the
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: early the late sixties, early seventies that the standard was
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: you had to be negligent. Now you don't even have
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: to be negligent. All you have to prove is harm
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: and suddenly somebody owes you something, which is a ridiculous standard.
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: So it's wrong to give many factures a liability immunity,
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: but it is. But it is also wrong to have
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: a liability system unmoored from any kind of standards and
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: from reality. So what we need is liability law reform,
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: massive libility law reform. Nobody's talking about that. It's too complicated,
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: it's too abstract, but it is a major problem in America.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: It's a major way in which we suppress economic growth.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: It's a major restriction on innovation and on businesses more broadly,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: and it needs to be filmed. There's a great book
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: that was written in the nineties I think by Peter
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: Hubert called Liability highly recommended, excellent book. But yeah, I
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: mean there shouldn't be There shouldn't be lib believing unity.
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: And at the same time one can hold that they
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: shouldn't be liability immunity and still recognize that vaccines are
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: one of the great human inventions and and and you know,
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: vaccines are saving hundreds of millions of lives, not just lives,
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: but life and pain and stuffing. I had all the
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: childhood diseases. So I got them all and it was
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: not pleasant at all. It was how and and some
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: of them could easily get complicated. I mean, you're seeing
- 1:28:01Speaker 1: you're seeing measles breaking out now what it was in Carolinas.
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: I saw there's a whole area in the Carolinas that
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: is being quarantined because of measles outbreak. It's horrible. Charsbat says.
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: My dislike of Trump goes to eleven. Yes, that is
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: a tribute to Rhina and that movie is name just
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: lookd my mind. But I mentioned it earlier where the
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: band puts the volume up to eleven. Kay, dempt any
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: advice or resources you have for dealing with a narcissist
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: in personal life. My sister is trying to divorce an
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: arsist husband, but he's making a life hell in the process.
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: I want to help, but I don't know how. Spinal tap,
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: Thank you spinal tap. Look, no, I don't really have
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: any resources. I would say, you just have to an
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: arcist wants attention, so you just have to cut them off.
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: You just have to minimize contact, give them no attention
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: because they feed off of the attention and they use
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: that to trying to manipulate you. You've got to just
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: to the extent that you can just cut them off
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: as much as you can and be tough. Toughness and
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: minimal contact I think is the way to do it.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: But I'm not an expert, SIVI the not a psychologist,
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: and I don't know Joseph food for thought, the natural
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: born requirement for the highest office goes against the spirit
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: of the United States as a country when anyone could
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: come and make it. Yeah, I think that's probably true,
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: but it is in the constitution and it's going to
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: be very hard to change. All Right, we got a
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: bunch of five ten two, five ten dollar questions. All right,
- 1:30:06Speaker 1: let's start with emo. Does the Netflix big bid make
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: sense for Netflix shareholders? The market seems quite skeptical. Well,
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: I mean, who am I to question the market? The
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: market skepticism could be based on a number of things.
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: It could be based on the fact that mergers often
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: fail to produce the kind of results that I expected.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: That is, the synergies never materialize, there is a clash
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: of corporate cultures. It's also possible that regulators might impose
- 1:30:39Speaker 1: conditions on the merged entity that will make it very
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: difficult for that merged entity to be profitable. I don't know.
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: A separation of HBO Max from Netflix, some restrictions on
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: how the studios released air movies. I don't know. It'll
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: be interesting to see, you know, I think any generally,
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: generally an emerging acquisition when a buyer announced the purchase
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: of When company A announced the purchase of company B,
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: the shares of Company A typically go down. Company B
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: go up to the purchase close to the purchase price
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: the company is will need to pay, but the buyers
- 1:31:24Speaker 1: shares usually go down because in most cases, not all cases,
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: but in most cases, expectation is that the merger will
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: not be successful or actually destroy value versus increase value.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: That's from bitter experience in mergers and acquisitions in the past.
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: Now again, it depends on the type of merger, It
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: depends on markets, estimation of the qualities of the CEO,
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: the qualities of the of the synergies, if they're real.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: If they're how how real and how wishful thinking are
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: they tom One result of the excellent March twenty twenty
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: five seminar in London is that I got motivated to
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: write historical novel Wow with a heroic theme. Stay tuned, excellent,
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: That is fun to hear. I'm excellent. I like numbers.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: Was Trump right to try to band Muslim immigration. No,
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: and he did it in such a pathetic, ridiculous way
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: that it was stupid. The way he did it was stupid.
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: So the whole band of Muslim immigration was virtue signaling
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: because he he didn't ban Muslims. He banned Muslims for
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: a few countries, and those other countries didn't have real
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: government who couldn't protest. You know, most of an overwhelming
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: majority of the terrorists at nine to eleven was Saudis,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. Muslims were not banned, if I remember right,
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: puck Stani Muslims were not banned. You know, right now
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: it's not clear and I don't I don't know if
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: Syrian Muslims right now a banned or not. But it
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: was all political, you know, smoking mirrors. H Is it
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: legitimate to ban Muslims as you go to war with Islamism? Sure,
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: but you have to declare war otherwise there's no basis
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: for which the band Muslim immigration. You have to name
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: them an enemy. You have to name the enemy, and
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: then you can ban them, but Trump won't name the enemy,
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: and he can. He doesn't even ban them. It's just
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: it's just a joke. I mean, it's just a joke
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: to appease you guys and and make you think that
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: he is on your side. And is it really, you know,
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: opposed to this enemy. I nam, how can we id
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: ISIS without checking social media? Well, I think you should
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: check social media. You don't check social media on their
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: phones when they come in. Hopefully, the NSA is tracking
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: everything ISIS does. It's tracking social media generally, it's screening
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: who is and who is participating in the different social
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: media ISIS stuff, and is warning people in terms of
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: preventing them from coming into the country. This is done,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: who regulates done all the time. I also think that
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: if you're a Muslim, you should expect to be screened
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: one hundred times more than everybody else. So I am
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: fine with requiring for Muslims when they come into the
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: United States a complete screening of their social media. I
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: just don't think it should be a generalized immigration policy
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: because what they're looking for is not whether you participate
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: in a chat with ISIS. They'd probably let you in
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: if you did what they're looking for is did you
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: criticize Trump? And that would be the basis of kicking
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: you out. They don't care about isis. They care about
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: Trump's ego. So yeah, screen the hell out of Muslims.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. Really ramp up screening
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: of Muslims domestically and as they come into the country.
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: All right, John with his usual obnoxious question. If the
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: solution is military, then how come Hungary in Poland don't
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: have Islamic terror? Are they air forces bombing Saudi Arabia?
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: Are they what are they doing? You've asked this question before.
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: Again John repeats his questions. Not because John doesn't ask
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: questions in order to get an answer. You asked questions
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: as gotcha, gotcha? Are the reason Hungary and Poland of
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: free of Islamic of free of Islamic terrorism is because
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: they don't accept Muslim immigrants into them as one feature,
- 1:35:59Speaker 1: as one feature of the imigration policy. But uh, the reason?
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: But if everybody didn't do that, if all of Europe
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: banned Muslim immigration and they did nothing else, then Islamists
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: would still attack Europe. They'd find other ways to attack Europe.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: They'd find ways to sneak in, they'd pretend not to
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: be Muslim, they'd fly airplanes into it, they'd bomb the place.
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: They still not might not attack Poland and Hungry because
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: nobody really cares that much about Poland and Hungry, particularly Hungry,
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: which is a second third rate European country. Poland is
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: not rising countries. So maybe in the future people will
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: care about Poland. I mean, what are you going to
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: get more bang for the buck out of attacking attacking
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: Warsaw or attacking Paris or London. And there's no competition
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: really right And by the way, there are other countries
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: in Europe would be my guess where there's no know,
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: there's been no Islamic terrorism. Croatia. There's no Islamic terrorism
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: in Croatia as far as I can tell. I mean,
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: maybe somebody can correct me. And Croatia borders a Muslim country,
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: has Muslims in Croatia and yet no Islamic terrorism there. Indeed,
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: there are a number of countries in Europe than a Muslim.
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: Albania is a Muslim country, dominant majority Muslim Kosovo and
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: Bosnia Bosnia dominantly Muslim country, and yet you don't hear
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: much about terrorism coming from those countries, right, And indeed,
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: is Bosnia part of the EU now, I mean at
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: some point if Bosnia is not good, if Bosnian is
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: not part of the EU, at some point when it
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: becomes part of the EU, they'll be able to migrate
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: to Poland amazing, huh. And Poland won't be able to
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: stop at de Wi part of the sen jen zomes,
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: So you can hide and Hungry in Poland if you want.
- 1:38:16Speaker 1: I mean, even if Hungry and Poland are just not
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: significant enough. It's not immigration that causes terrorism. It's ideology
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: that causes terrorism. And as long as the ideology is
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: allowed to spread and grow around the world, then maybe
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: they won't kill you in Europe. Maybe that wait for
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: Europeans to travel somewhere overseas and not kill them there.
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: And of course, you know, as I said, there are
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: plenty of Muslims in Europe already. If the ideology is
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: allowed to spread, then they'll just travel within Europe where
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: they're no restrictions when you travel within Europe and commit
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: terrorism there. So this whole notion, and look, anybody who
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: wants to live in Hungry is welcome to live in Hungary.
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: It's a you know, it's a pretty poor place and
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: a very unfree place. So yes, they don't have Muslims yay,
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: but nothing else much going for them. Poland is a
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: little bit better and certainly growing economically and doing well.
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: And Poland is also very anti Russia, which is good
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: for them, and they're building up a military, so good
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: for Poland. But Poland, you know, I Poland would benefit
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: from having more immigration, not less. It's got a lack
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: of talent. It would go even fast. Lincoln with a
- 1:39:45Speaker 1: Patriot Act tsa pointless Middle East wars for democracy instead
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: of stopping terrorism in post nine to eleven. Did we
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: not get what he wanted? Well, not fully, but certainly
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: some you know, our lives, our life gets harassed. We're
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: harassed in our life. Have there been any terrorist detections
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: in Switzerland. I'm curious anybody know of Islamic terrorist detects
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: in Switzerland. And yet Switzerland has a pretty large Islamic population.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: I mean, I know, because you know, i'd being too
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: like in Geneva, Like if you go to a hotel
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: in Geneva. I mean, there's a there's a lot of
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: Arabs and Muslims in Switzerland. But I don't remember any
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: Islamic terrorist attack in Switzerland, So I don't know. Maybe
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: it's not only related to whether you allow Muslims in
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: or out. Maybe you know who knows, but the fact
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: that ideas shape history, and idea shaped the world. Let's
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: ignore ideas, we don't care about ideas. Let's just build
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: walls and hunk it down, and if we bury our
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: head deep enough in the sand, they'll go away. The
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: threat will just go away. I don't think they're all
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: armed in Switzerland. I don't think people people don't open
- 1:41:08Speaker 1: carry in Switzerland. You don't. I don't think they're concealed
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: carries in Switzerland. They have a gun in their home.
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: In Switzerland took a lot of Albinians from Kosovo. Professor
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: Kruckin says, they are they are not very problematic as
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: far as Muslims go. Yeah, I know, but I thought
- 1:41:31Speaker 1: it's Muslims that are the problem, not Muslims for somebody.
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: But no, there were a lot of Arabs as compared
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: to Kasovoians. There's a lot of Arabs in Switzerland, and
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: there's been a lot of immigration into Switzerland from Arab countries. Again,
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: I know this because I've traveled there, and I've seen it,
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: and yet I don't think there's any Islamic terrorism in Switzerland.
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: I don't know why. Interesting Phil three five seven two.
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: Those who refuse to name the enemy are these as
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: Islamic mystic violence, a mental sub humans who refused to
- 1:42:10Speaker 1: recognize we are at war. It was declared fifty years
- 1:42:14Speaker 1: ago by the Muslim Brotherhood. Well, I mean yes, it
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: was the claud I mean Muslim Brotherhood was created in
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight, so it's almost one hundred years. We
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: can celebrate. In a couple of years, we can celebrate
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: the creation of the Muslim Brotherhood by Hassan Elbana, who
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: was the creedor of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: nineteen twenty eight. Lincoln, the more I learned about Christianity,
- 1:42:41Speaker 1: the angry I get They stopped progress for a thousand years.
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: Imagine what a Quintus could have been without religion. Yeah,
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: imagine all the other geniuses that lived during the thousand
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: years who couldn't express their genius because of Christianity, Lincoln,
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: all Trump has had to do was let Israel overthrow
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: the Iranians, support Ukraine and not be an idiotic on tariffs,
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: and I would support him, but he's too dumb. Well
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: I don't know if dumb is the right word, but
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: he's too something. Yeap Lincoln. For years, I refuse to
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: watch The Princess Bride when I was a kid because
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: I thought it was a girls movie. Luckily, my mom
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: made me watch it and I loved it. Yeah, it's
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: a fun movie. It really is, all right, Michael does
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: Trump feely has nothing to lose with the mean tweeting.
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: I think the Republicans will get destroyed the midterms. Well,
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: see it's how to tell it. Logic depends on the
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: economy and how the economy does between now and the midterms.
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: But I don't think he controlled himself. I think he's
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: just a nasty human being, and I don't think he
- 1:43:48Speaker 1: has any self discipline and can control himself. He also declared,
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: I think this morning that the United States has gained
- 1:43:57Speaker 1: eighteen trillion dollars literally eighteen trillion dollars from tariff's were
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: being in about thirty billion dollars from tariff's total a month,
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: So that's three hundred and something billion. He said, eighteen trillion.
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: I assume he's talking about all the investments companies and
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: countries promised to make eighteen trillions. So he just he
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: can't help himself. He makes stuff up, and he's nasty
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: and a liah, and he just can't control the lies.
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: He just says stuff that's again evidently false, and it
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: doesn't register with him. Michael, Part one, Do there are
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: remnants of the dark Ages confine itself to the digital world.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: All the hate and racism isn't often said to everyone
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: anyone's face, only anonymously online. People are miserable and frustrated
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: engage in anonymous hate speech online to let up steam.
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: But they don't want twelve to twenty in real life.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: I mean maybe, but you know, there's plenty of anti
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: semitism in real life. There are plenty of people who
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: go out there and join, you know, globalizing into fodder
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: demonstrations that very one might be. You know, there are
- 1:45:18Speaker 1: plenty of anti Semitic conferences and events where they go
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: and in real life do it. And it's just amount
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: of time before what happens online transfer into the real world. Now,
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: of course, they don't want twelve twenty in real life
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: in the sense that they don't want to lose the
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: technology and the wealth and all that that they have.
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: And even Michael Knows said, oh, twelve twenty, but just
- 1:45:41Speaker 1: the culture of twelve twenty. But of course the culture
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: of twenty twenty precludes the technology of the twenty fifth century.
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: But they made that. They don't want to think about it, Jeff.
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: The wall between Gouza and Egypt seems to be doing
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: the job they want keeping the Palestinians out. Why do
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: the Arabs support a right of return? They want to
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: be rid of them, Yeah, I mean they want to
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: be rid of them. They want Israel to handle them,
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: and they want to destroy Israel, and the right of
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: return is a way to destroy Israel. So basically, you know,
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: there are lots of Palestinians in Lebanon. They could have assimilated,
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: could have allowed to be assimilated into Lebanese society. They're
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: not that, you know. They're all Arabs, and they speak
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: the same language, they have a similar culture, and yet
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: the Lebanese have refused to let them to assimilate. They
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: still live in refugee camps. They're still treated as refugees,
- 1:46:37Speaker 1: seventy something years after the fact. No other refugees in
- 1:46:41Speaker 1: the world are treated that way. Certainly after that generation,
- 1:46:44Speaker 1: you're not treated as refugee anymore. It's gone, it's done,
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: it's finished, to get on with life. And the Arab
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: States want to perpetuate Palestinian refugee status because they because
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: they it's not even if they don't want them, they
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: want to use them as a card against Israel, and
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: the rest of the world lets them. Michael, is pity
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: just another form of abuse? Is it a form of abuse?
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: To pity somebody is to abuse somebody. I mean there's
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: a sense in which that's right. It's also the person
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: doing the pitying. There's an abuse there, because I mean,
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: why should you pity people? It's a very kind of
- 1:47:28Speaker 1: altruistic emotion driven by altruism. I'd have to think about
- 1:47:33Speaker 1: that one. I'm not sure, Michael Christian, What is your
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: opinion on near death experiences people claiming they could see
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: their own body from above, stuff like that. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: the mind is near death. Maybe certain parts are shutting down,
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: chemicals are coming out, and just like when you're in drugs,
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: you experience certain things. It means absolutely nothing, zero zilch,
- 1:47:58Speaker 1: not a anymore than what you experienced other under drugs.
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: Means something. It's your brain going a little haywire, and
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: maybe part of that shutting down manifests and a bright
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: light appearing before you in your brain. Not really a
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: bright light, but that's part of the shutting down. So
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: I don't make anything of them. I think they're just
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: again the brain closing up, closing shop, and creating certain
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: hallucinations as a consequence. Lincoln, I'll be making lots of
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: progress on my novel over the next month. I'll have
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: updates in January. Exciting. Good luck Roland. I have several
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: Muslim coworkers. Haven't heard of any terrorist attacks in the country.
- 1:48:52Speaker 1: Roland is in Switzerland, so yeah, I guess Switzerland and
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: Poland and Hungry. What are they have in common? I
- 1:48:59Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, so John can keep asking
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: me about Poland and Hungry and it's nonsensical. Belarus, well,
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: they probably don't and they have some Muslims. There are
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: lots of countries I've never had tourist attacks, and so
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: I'll don't have Muslims in them. All right. Thank you guys,
- 1:49:24Speaker 1: really really appreciate the support. Thank you to all the
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: stick up providers. Thank you to all the super check providers.
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: Really appreciate it. Don't forget. Tonight at seven pm East
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: Coast time, join us and for our interview with an
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: economists Femrket Economics crucial to all of us. It'll be
