• 0:53
  Speaker 1: will see what happens with the internet. I'm sorry, I'm
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a few minutes late, but yes, some technical problems. It's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: when doing these show on the road, it is not
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that easy to get everything aligned and get anything ready
• 1:11

  Speaker 1: to the Internet gods and hope that what we get.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: What we get is the good show and no problems
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: during the show. Let me know, of course in the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: chat if their problems either with the sound or with
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the video, and I will try to try to address those.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But all right, first few minutes, so far, so good. Anyway,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: As I said, I am in Prospera. Prospera is a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: free economic zone or charter city in Honduras in an
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: island off the coast of Honduras, but the island is
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: under the jurisdiction of Honduras. A few years ago, Honduras
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: past the constitutional amendment that allowed for the creation of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: independent charter cities within Honduran territory. This is about fifteen
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: years ago. And what that means is you can create
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a city Honduras if approved by the government on a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: particular geographic area, and in that area, you can set
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the terms of the level of, if you will, economic
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: liberty in that area. So for example, you get to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: set the terms of taxes, you get to set the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: terms the kind of regulations that businesses have. So you
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: basically can create private free trade or free market zones
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: within Honduras. So you're still you're still under the general
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: law of Honduras, so criminal law is still the Honduran law,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and it is a kind of a private government partnership
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in terms of setting up these zones. But what happens
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is Honduras is not going to become a free market place.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The incentives are not there, the political class is not interested,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the people of Honduras are not educated enough about free
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: markets and the benefits of capitalism. So this is a
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: way to create experimental areas and each one can have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: different governance, different mechanisms by which they you know, they
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: deal with the various issues that the governments deal with,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all under the austracees of an agreement with Honduras, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Prospera is the most advanced of all of those. It
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is a city really founded by libertarians, by free market
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: types interested in a different type of governance they have,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but it is interesting it is again under the hospicial Honduras,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: which creates some issues. For example, the previous government in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Honduras they just recently changed, but the previous government was
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a very very leftist government, and they try to get
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: out of the kind of obligations that they that they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: undering government had taken on visa the Prospera and other
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: charter cities, and they made it very difficult. And it
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: looked like if if that government had won again, Prospera
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and other charter cities in Honduras would probably be finished.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But they didn't win.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: A conservative government came in that is inclined towards supporting
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: these cities. So you get that political uncertainty in terms
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: of what happens in Honduras. But whatever that in Prospere is.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They bought a bunch of land and they have the ability,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: through this charter that they got from Hundu in government
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to set tax and regulator policy on the land that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they own. You can come in and you can purchase,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and you can you sign actually a contract with the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: with the entity that is prospered. You sign a contract
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: about your rights and your liabilities. And the rights are
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: generally rights and responsibilities. I guess the rights are primarily
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: focused on a protection of property rights. You know, and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you sign something saying you'll abide by and respect the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: property rights of others. Taxes are very low. They're probably
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: more taxes than they would like because they have to.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: One of the I think positive things about Prospera is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they realize they have to integrate into the global economy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They can't pess off the authorities outside. So they in
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: order to work with an IMF, which allows them then
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to do international finance, they have to have, for example,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: an income tax. Im IF requires you to have an
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: income tax, so they have a what was income tax?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It was the corpate taxes one percent. The sales tax
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: is two and a half percent. There's a land tax
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of one percent, and I think the income taxes five percent.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Those are the taxes, so all very low. And you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: basically the regulation is interesting. So the regulation, you have
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a number of options in terms of regulation. Let's say
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you're buyo to company and you come and start your
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: buyot to company here and Prospera, you can choose under
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: which regulatory regime you're going to function. You can choose
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the FDA, you can choose any European country, you can
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: choose Israel for example, the regulatory struct and then you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: buy insurance that covers you and it covers you from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: any liabilities that are involved in an insurance company. Its
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: responsibility is to then make sure that you abide by
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the regulatory regime that you have applied under. And if
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you don't like any of the regulatory regimes of any
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of these countries, you can propose your own. And there's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a governance committee in Prospera that it gives you a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down. So there are biotech companies here.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: There are a few crypto companies here anyway, So this
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is the deal. It's in spite of prosper being around
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for quite a while. It's been hampered, particularly by the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: leftist government that ruled over Honduras previously, so it has
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: going very slowly, but it's trying to become. I mean,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it would like to become and then the question is canon,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: but it would like to become something like Dubai or Singapore.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: In the Caribbean.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: That is, the idea is to buy land here, to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: build the foundation and then and then to build a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: thriving economy. You know, recognizing that this is not going
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to be an independent state, it's not going to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a separate government. It's still again under the authority of Hoduas,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: but it does have the freedom to reduce regulations dramatically,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to allow companies to have incredible flexibility visa regulation, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of course to have very low taxes, at least for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: non Americans. Americans of course have to pay taxes to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the United States on the global income. So no matter
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: where you go other than Puerto Rico, you have to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: pay federal taxes. But Europeans, they're not. Europeans are only
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: tax on income they make in you know, where they
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: where they live, not that they don't owe their country
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of origin any taxes. The United States is particularly bad
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: about this. So, you know, so this is it's it's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a small place. One relatively high rise building, fourteen floors.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think I'm in that building right now. I'm in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a comfort room down here. They have an open, open space.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: A lot of kind of entrepreneurs come here, a lot
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of I mean, it's it's basically almost all young people
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: who are you know, kind of figuring out where they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: want to live and figuring out what they want to do,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and and and people can start start companies here, become
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: prosperate citizens it and although I don't think it gives
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you an insinactually recognized passport that you can travel with,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: so you still have to keep your original passport. But
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: if you start a company here, you you fall under
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this pretty lean tax regime.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And they're building something.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Here, I mean one of the you know, I've met
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: with many of the people who are being here for
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a while, and you know, there's a real passion, a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: real energy around the fact that they're building something from scratch.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: They're building a city, they're building a free zone. Again,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: they're not trying to build some kind of libertarian utopia here,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: which is good. They're trying within the bounds of what
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: is possible in the world, in the world, in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: world in which we live, in the governance regimes in
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: which we live, to kind of create the best possible structure,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the best possible governance that they can within that world.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of details about how the governance here works
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that are interesting. You can probably just do a Google
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: search on Prospera, Prospera just the way it sounds, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and find a bunch of information about it. Again, people here,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: super nice, super excited, super motivated. Everybody here has read
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I demanded. They're not objectivists. They tend to be more libertarians,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I say, small all kind of libertarians. Some of them
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: probably bigger libertarians, but most of the smaller libertarians. They
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: are mostly Europeans and local Hondurans. And what I found
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: interesting and impressive is how well integrated they are into Hondurists.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That is, you know, they have a real legal structure here,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: so a lot of disputes within Prospera go to arbitration courts,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and they have lawyers, and they've got a sense. They've
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: got a constitution here which is rigorously written. I would
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: say they've got a legal structure which they've really thought through.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: They've got processes and procedures, and they've got a lot
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of people from Honduras, particularly legal experts from Honduras that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: have worked on this and to make sure it's integrated
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: into legal and political systems.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: So again I think very impressive.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Given how much time they've had. You know, they raised
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I think twenty million dollars as this is a startup,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a city that is a startup, so that's kind of cool.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's there are other charter cities in Honduras, but this
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: is the most advanced and I think the most interesting.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: There's an attempt to bring charter cities and to create
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: these kind of cities all over Latin America and then
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in Africa. So it's a way to create economic development
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and create little free market zones within status corrupt, you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: areas where you couldn't just you couldn't change the country
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in any significant.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Way in the short run.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Now there's a danger here, there's a real risk, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they've experienced that already in Prospera, that the government changes
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and they come after you and they shut it down
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and they reneg and all of that. They have somehow
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: survived and so they are kind of trying to become
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a proof of concept, trying to find ways to work
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: with these governments to be able.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And their hope is.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: That they create enough prosperity in Prospera and around because
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: this is a small part of a big island, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the idea is if they can create prosperity among the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Honduran people who live on this island, and that prosperity
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: then rebounds to Honduras, then the Handouan government is unlikely
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to shut them down because because the people will be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: will you know, will be benefiting from it. Now again,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: whether that is works and whether it's naive, whether it
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: can how big it can become, whether enough people will
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: want to move here and create something and build something,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it's really really hard to tell, and really it's going
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to depend on the willingness of people to move here,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the willingness of institutions, financial institutions globally, insurance companies, banks
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to deal with people in Prospera. You know, they have
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: this stigma of crazy libertarians and starting something new, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this is not I mean, it doesn't strike and it's crazy,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: it's as so what they're trying to do here, and
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: so yeah, I was here. I've spent a couple of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: days here. I've got one more day tomorrow. I'll actually
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: be interviewed by the CEO of the city. And while
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: this is not philosophical change, not trying to bring philosophical change,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it is trying to establish a zone in which people
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: can be a little bit free, at least for a while.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And I wish them lucky, you know. I hope it's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: successful for the them and for the for the people
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they interact with. So yeah, I encourage you to look
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: them up and see what it's like. It's, uh, there's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: an epoch here, you know, like fifteen minutes out of Prospero.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Prosper itself is very small, two pieces of land that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: are not yet connected. The plan is ultimately to buy
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: all the land in between and to connect them. What
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: else can I tell you about it? It's beautiful, so
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that that is for sure. Right, It's it's it's it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a tropical jungle here. Uh, it's it's right on the beach,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: beautiful beaches. I'm staying at a resort which is part
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of Prospera, and it's a very nice resorts, beautiful beautiful
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: villas and rooms and swimming pools and infinity pools and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: beaches and I mean all of that. The food here
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: has been fantastic. So yeah, it's it's it's an interesting
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting place and interesting experiment. Now I'm here
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: with a group. I've talked about this before. I'm not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: gonna say too much about the group because it is
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: kind of secretive in a funny kind of way, but
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it is. You can't find anything about it online except
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: for one crazy article that was written about it that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: got it all wrong.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: But this is basically a group of.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Very successful people invitation only entrepreneurs, some intellectuals, some public
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: intellectual some professors, but a lot of finance, a lot
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of a lot of tech people, but a lot also
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in the group I'm in today, a lot some media
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: people and you know, all overachievers. Some belong to the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: youth part of this and some belong to the adult
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and the youth really undethic forty who have overachieved, but
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: everybody is super successful. And shockingly I was invited to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: join a few years ago and have attended a number
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: of these conferences, and I find him really, really really
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: interesting for me, politically philosophically. People here are not aligned
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: with me obviously, you know, I'd say generally it tilts
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: center left, it tilts towards where the successful.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: People are in the world.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And and but it's but there's all kinds.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I mean they are.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: You know, one of the leaders of the evangelical movement
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: is Uh is a part of this, and I've had
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: lengthy conversations with him. He finds objectivism, you know, fascinating.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But but he's one of the leaders of the American
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: evangelical movement. You get people from Washington, d C. You
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: get senators, and you get politicians, but you but mostly
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's business oriented, and it's really and and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: part of this, part of what we do is conversations,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: is it's a lot of talking Uh. And I find
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the openness and receptibility to objectives, to ideas really quite astonishing,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: really quite positive. People interested people have never heard these things,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: although many many of them have read Iran. Read Iran.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: At some point he answers, is it all crypto and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Ai Bros. I don't know why you're talking prospera or
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: in this organization I'm talking about.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it's fascinating.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I mean we had, yeah, we had in our group,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you know, really really really senior media people here, three
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: media people, which is surprising. It's the first time I've
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: had so many in a group like this. Anyway, we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: do conferences twice a year, one in Europe or one
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in the US, and then they do these tracks. These
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: are small groups that go and I know a number
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of people into one a few weeks ago. They're going
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: to be there's going to be a trick to Ukraine
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and to to Croatia and stuff. And this is my
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: first trick that I've done, which was put to Prospero.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I figured it would be a good opportunity. Anyway, the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: conversation is fascinating, and you're asking if crypto and AI
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: goes No, not at all, As I said, wide, wide
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: variety of people, so a lot of tech people, but
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: not necessarily crypto and AI. All kinds of people people,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: very senior people at big techs, you know, startup people, vcs,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: white variety, white spectrum of people. And then that's in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the tech side, and then a lot of finance people.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And I'd say, you're not going to get the top
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: right these you know too busy maybe or whatever, but
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you're getting the one level under of the top people
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: at the top companies in the United States, particularly tech
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and finance, but also and then again politicians, media people,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: media personalities, and then some intellectuals. You know some you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: there's probably one or two other free market intellectuals, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: then there's a variety of other intellectuals from all you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: people I despise and you know, from an intellectual perspective,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and others. So it's it's really it's an it's a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: fascinating group for me, right because I get to talk
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to people that normally would never get it. Normandy would
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: never get it, not in my universe, and and probably
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: wouldn't take a meeting with me just on the basis
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of who I am. But here they've got to listen
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to me and and respond quite positively to the conversations
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that we have. So hopefully I'm having a small but
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: significant impact on some people, making the world slightly better
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: place in terms of In terms of the people at Prospera,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of them are crypto, but not all so
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: there there's a bitcoin community here, but there's also non
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: bitcoin crypto people.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: But for example, the industry.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: They're really trying to build here because they where they
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: think they have their largest advantage. The biggest advantage is biotech.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to particularly in the longevity space.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Brian Johnson was here to get one treatment that he
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't get anywhere else. But they're not thinking about this
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is just medical tourism as people coming here to get treatment.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: They're thinking about developing treatments and drugs here and finding
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: ways to get them into the United States. So, for example,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Montanage has passed a right to try law, a right
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to try law that goes beyond you know, the right
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to try law in the US. The federal law says,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: if you're about to die and there is some treatment
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that hasn't been approved by the FDA, Okay, you have
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a right to try because you're about to die. So
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: what can the side effects do to you?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, good luck.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But think about the right to try as more broader
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: than that. There's some unapproved treatment and you can try
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: it as long as you sign sign a waiver. You
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: can try it in supposedly in Montana. So the idea
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: would be that they would work with doctors in Montana
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to do treatments off of stuff that is developed here
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in prosperity. Now, whether that works again, I don't know.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: But I like the fact that they're trying to integrate
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: into the existing system and not trying to create and isolated.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So it's it's not an attempt to create gold sculpture
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: at all. It's it's it's trying to stay connected to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the world. Brian Johnson, not from ac DC, I don't
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: know who that is. It's Brian Johnson, the guy who
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: from Blueprint, who is trying to live forever. So the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: guy who's spending two million dollars a year on trying
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: everything in terms of longevity and measuring everything and and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: trying to be a resource for the world in terms
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of Okay, this work just didn't work. Now, he's a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: little crazy, he's old whacko and he's spending two million
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: dollars a year on his own treatments. But he's super
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: interesting what he's doing, and uh and hopefully people will
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: actually learn from it, and and they will. There will
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: be you know, best treatments available, best treature and available
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: will be available, will will come out of what he
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: what he is doing and what he is proposing, says
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Brian Johnson from you know, just looking up Brian Johnson,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Live Forever, Longevity or something like that. All right, one
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: point is not a good data set, but it's better
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: than zero points.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: So you know, there's so many things to.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Try and uh there, you know, there's so many limitations
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that they have to places on you if you try
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to try it on a lot of people. It's better
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to do one than nothing. So I don't think it's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: an insignificant data points. And of course what people can
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: do is they find something that works on him and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: then they.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Do the test on larger groups.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: But he will filter out a lot of stuff that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: clearly doesn't work or a lot of stuff that has
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: really bad side effects, at least on him, and then
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: people will have to decide if to try it on
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: other people as well, to see if it's generalizable or not.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't I wouldn't dismiss it because it's one person.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: He also, because there's one person, he can do an
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: intensity and a combination of things that you just can't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: run a trial on because I mean, you can monitor
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: people twenty four to seven.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: He is being monitored twenty four seven, so.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I still hope that something good will of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the trial of one again, better one data point than nothing.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: All Right, I'll remind you even though I'm traveling, or
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: maybe especially when I'm traveling, I'm still doing these shows
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and we have you know, my time is valuable.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: It is it is money.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So we have a goal for every hour of the show,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: we have to raise about one and two hundred and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: fifty dollars to justify my time. So I'm encouraging you
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and asking you to make your contribution here. You can
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: do so with a super chat, ask a question. That
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: way you get to shape the show. I will answer
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: your question. I get to talk about what you want
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: me to talk about because you're.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Asking the question.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: So those of you with all kinds of comments and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: questions I use, please use the super chat to ask
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the question, and that way you support the show and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I get to answer your question. And you can also
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: use a sticker, which is a way just to trade
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: with me and value for value, and yeah, and that's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: very much appreciated. It's a way to trade. You get
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: value from the show. I assume that's why you hear
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and express that value with dollar science dollars are good.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: So this is how I make a living. Help me
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: make a living doing this, and I slap around all
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: this equipment everywhere I go in the world. By the way,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: this is behind me. This painting that you see here
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: is a mural. It's a mural celebrating science and innovation.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So this is part of like, this is part of
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the ethos in Prospero, which is a really positive thing. Also,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: if you will, if you can help out like the show,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: press that like button. It doesn't cost you anything. I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: not asking for money for pressing. YouTube doesn't ask for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: money by pressing. Just press that button and it helps algorithm,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it helps promote the show. And of course, if you're
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: not a subscriber, please consider subscribing to the show, please
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: consider uh subscribing. All right, let's see uh where we are. So, yes,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: we uncharacteristically, dramatically and characteristically, we've raised very little money
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: in the first half hour of the show. That that is,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that is uncharacteristic. Don't don't make this a characteristic, right
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and that uh and that money is for Mike. Mike,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: thank you for the sticker, really really appreciated. All right,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: let's see update on the one Ian and let's let's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: jump into uh. Let's jump into that. UH. So the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: one I won continues and in the United States and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Israelis continue to bomb targets all over Yuan. Today, I've
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: noticed a focus on Istafan, which is a major city
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: in Yuan where they're attacking UH Islam Revolutionary God headquarters
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and facilities. I mean, Trump has been online on the
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: news and stuff saying things like, we don't have any
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: more targets, We're out of targets. That's just not true.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Right now, the Start Revolutionary God is divided into thirty
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: one different divisions geographically determined to a large extent, The
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: commanders of those thirty one regions.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Independence, and they're not relying on a command.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And control structure coming in from Tehran or coming in
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: from above. This is how they continue to work in
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: spite of the fact that Israel keeps decapitating their leaders
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and destroying their command and control.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: They're each independent.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: They each have access to their own missile launchers and storage,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and they keep launching missiles. So each one of these
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: thirty one districts within Iran has multiple bases, has multiple
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: each facilities, has multiple targets, and it is only the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: United States have hit many of them, but not all
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of them. There's still plenty of targets. Indeed, by Israeli estimate,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: it appears that we're not really going to get to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a point of really, you know, the Islamic revolutionary God
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: not being able to do anything to really really you know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: destroy the capacity of the Islamic revolution that we got
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to act. It's going to take another two weeks of
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: every day hundreds of soltis, hundreds of bombings targeting these facilities.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: It's going to take a long time.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: You Wan is a huge country. It's bigger than I
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: think France, Germany, you know, in a number of other countries,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and you have combined it is. It has ninety ninety
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: zero million people, ninety million people, and.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna take a long time to sumpute them.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: And importantly, in something I think that many people ignore.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Is they're religious fanatics.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: They're truly religious fanatics, willing to die for the cause,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and theyfore willing to fight for the cause. They're willing
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: to fight through adversity for the cause. So this is
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: going to take a long time. This is not a quick,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you know operation. You take out the leader and you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: just negotiate everything with a guy in second in command. No,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: they're all dedicated to the same cause. They're all dedicated
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: to the same religion. They're all dedicated the same Sharia law.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: They're all dedicated to the destruction of the West. They
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: really believe this stuff. This is not a fantasy for them.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: They're religious fanatics, and you really have to destroy their
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: capacity to engage in violence, and that means bombing thousands
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: and thousands of targets. One of the things is that
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I was doing the other day, I think yesterday and
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the day before. Israel has the capacity now to launch
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: drones from planes. So what they've done is they've brought
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: drones into Iran. And these drones are actually patrolling in
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a sense, Tehran streets, and they are firing at the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: roadblocks set up by the Bashige, which is the crowd control,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the civilian control segment of the Islamic Revolutionary got and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: they're literally blowing up roadblocks with the with the small
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: number of troops next to them. In other words, what
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Israel is doing is it's placing drones in the sky
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: of Tehran to pave the way for demonstrators to pave
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the way for a revolution, to weaken the regime's ability
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: to block roads shoot a demonstrator. So you can imagine
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the demonstrator is going out in the streets, the Islamic
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: revolutionary God giving up to shoot at them, maybe even
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: snipers from buildings, and drones taking them out, Israeli drones
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: taking them out. That is what kind of I'd say
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the action most recently has been to basically facilitate a
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: future demonstrations and a potential revolution. In addition, of course,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: they are attacking bases all over Iran. They're destroying everything
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: military that they can over there. Yesterday the US military
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: destroyed all the military facilities on Karaj Island. This is
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the island that I've talked about with you for months now.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: This is island that we're of all Uranian exports a
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: shipped out of. This is a crucial strategic location, and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: so this is a h a place where uh so
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the United States bombed all the military targets with the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: idea that if they wanted to, they could now invade
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: the island to take it over. And indeed there was
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a marine expedition force heading to the Middle East. This
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: is a a force that would potentially be boots on
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the ground invading the IDOL and taking control and basically
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: taking control of the UH oil outlet for the Iranian
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: regime H on this island, it would be easy, relatively
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: easy for them to defend. The Iranians would be end
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: likely to vomit from Afar because they would be ruining
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: their own UH oil facilities. UH. And they so the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: United States could launch on the island.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: UH.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: You know, if you know what else has happened uh
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, Well, the straits are foremost are still
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: mostly closed. Some ships are getting through, particularly Uranian ships
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and Chinese ships, but they're mostly closed. Interestingly, I mean
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: really surprisingly, But maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe who knows,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you know, some of what I say gets to the
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: administration in various ways. But do you remember we talked
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: about the streates of homoes, and I did a whole show,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and I proposed something that a lot of people thought,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: you know, people criticized me for, and I said, I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: wonder if I wonder if we could get an international
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: coalition that included some of the Asian countries like Japan,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: South Korea, and China to actually help move the ships
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: out of the Straits of Homones, to provide cover for
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: these ships, get the navies of these countries to send
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: boats down and to escort these ships out of the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Straits of Homoes, and the Ranians would be unlikely to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: bomb ships from all these other countries and basically go
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to war with the entire world. And I proposed this
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: on a sh show what about a week ago, and
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I think that proposal made its way to the Trumpet administration.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how, I don't know what the exact mechanism,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: but I've got a reason to believe that it made
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: its way. And so this is what and this is
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: what Trump. This is what Trump wrote today. This is
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: from his tweet. Many countries, especially those who are affected
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: by Iran's attempted closure of the Homeless Straits, will be
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: sending warships in conjunction with the United States of America
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to keep the straits open and safe. We have already
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: destroyed one hundred percent of Yuan's military capabilities. That's a
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: wild exaggeration, but okay. But it's easy for them to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: send a drone or to drop a mind or deliver
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: a close range missile somewhere along or in this waterway,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: no matter how badly defeated they are.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Hopefully China, France, Japan, South.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Korea, the UK and others that are affected by this
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: its homeo straight will no longer be a threat by
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a nation that is being totally decapitated. In the meantime,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: in the United States will be bombing the hell out
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of the shoreline again, something I said a week ago
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: needs to be done. Bombing the hell out of the
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: shoreline and continually shooting Uranian boats and ships out of
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the water one way another. We will soon get the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Home Moost Straits open, safe and free. So you know,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I worry about taking credit for this because I don't know.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, other people could have had this idea, But
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: that's almost the language I used.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: That is almost the language I used.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Bomb the hell out of the coast, the entire coast,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: make sure that it becomes very difficult for them to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: launch anything from there. And get China, Japan and South Korea,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: we have the most to lose from a closing of
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the straits, get them choose to supply navy ships. In addition,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to European countries to actually facilitate the opening of the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Homo straits. So you know it is. It might be shocking,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: but it might be possible. I mean possible in a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: freakish kind of way that I don't think Trump is listening.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: No, I think somebody is listening. I know who this.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Somebody is who has the ear of the administration, who
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: then takes what I say, puts it in a accessible format,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: and feeds it into certain people within the administration who
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: have Trump's ear. And you can choose not to believe
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that that's the case, but I have reason to believe.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain reason to believe that people in an
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: administration have been influenced by what I've said about the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Homo straet and to that extent, if I'm influencing even
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit the way this war is going, I'll
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: take it because they obviously need help. They obviously need help.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: All right, So let me just see what else I
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: had some of the other stories in terms of we.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Got the island. They targeted ninety different targets, military targets
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: on the island, didn't hit the oil itself, didn't hit
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the oil facilities, just military targets. The Ranians, of course,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: are threatening everybody, and they're still launching misselves. Oh important
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: to note, missiles out of Yuan dramatically continue to go down,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Drones out of Yon continue to go down. Missiles on Israel,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: you know, becoming less and less frequent, and usually it's
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: one or two missiles which can be shot down because
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: there's only one or two, so they try a defense
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: system can focus on them, not overwhelmed. The same is
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: happening with Dubai and other places. Very very little activity
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: in the air, much less than it was a week ago,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: much less than it was two weeks ago, so you know,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: ever more, ever more success in knocking these things down,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: less of a threat. But once in a while one
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: of these drones get by, and what they're targeting now
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: is almost exclusively the oil facilities of these other countries.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: The real hope that they want, the real hope that
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: they want is you know, just to disrupt oil to
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and and to cause the Gulf States to put pressure
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: on the United States to stop the war, to jack
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: prices up there. Hoping for oil at one fifty maybe
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: even two hundred krudo right now is ninety eight. It
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: kind of is flunk fluctuating it. It's been over one hundred.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: It's currently rising today, but it's been at one hundred
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and sixteen remembers. That's come down quite a bit from
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: those levels. It's in the nineties. It's way too high,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: ninety eight, but it's not yet at one fifty or
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: two hundred where people fear it will be. And the
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Ranians that say, go the goal is to put economic
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and political pressure on Trump. They can't beat it. They can't.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: They can't do anything to Israel or to the United
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: States military. They can't touch Israel, the United States military,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I mean literally, they can't touch them.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: So all they can.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Do is destroy, destroy stuff, oil and hope that the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: economic pressure is such to slow down the United States.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Let me just see if there's anything else. Yeah, I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: mean one thing. I mean, I was. I was struck
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: today by the fact that God, what is his name?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I saw this.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I saw this interview by you know, Trump's a I saw.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I forget his name, Silicon Valley VC, very successful entrepreneur.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Let me just see, uh all right, yeah, I mean,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, these points are being made a founder. There's
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: been a reach out in terms of the points of me. Yeah,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there's this uh god, I forget
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: his name, but he's in the administration.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: He's the a I saw.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Anybody know who I'm talking about. Uh, David Sachs. Thank you,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, David Sacks. So, David Sachs was
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: doing an interview yesterday, I guess talking about the war,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and the amount of misinformation this guy was projecting was
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: just horrific. I mean, uh, it was just you know,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: he was saying things like, uh, the the the Iranians
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: are really really uh you know, destroying Israel, really harming
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Israel much more than in the in the in the
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: previous war, and uh uh saying all kinds of stuff
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: about the inability of Israel and the inability of the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: US to do anything. Uh and and uh and and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: make anything. I mean, remember, David Sachs was super pro Russia,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: super anti Ukraine, and now he's anti Israel and anti
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the United States and the war with he on and
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and and distributing what is obviously uh misinformation, complete and utter,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: you know, garbage in terms of what what he is
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: actually what he is actually saying. Let me just find
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: let me find a quote for you I'm trying to
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: find it right now. Uh God, where is this thing? Yeah,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I mean the amount of lies being told about Israel
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: is by him is just uh, you know, it's just unbelievable.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a list of all the things
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: he said. I know I saw on earlier. He says,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: this is a good time. Yeah, yeah, I mean one second, No,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: that wasn't what I was looking for, all right, Anyway,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: it was unbelievable, how just filled with All you'd have
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: to do is call somebody you know in Israel. And
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I'm sure as a VC he knows people in Israel
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: in the tech industry and ask them, ask them about
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: what the situation is in Israel. He says, if this
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: will continues for weeks and months, Israel could be destroyed.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: How who would destroy Israel? He says, when you have
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: to worry about Israel contemplating And then he says, then
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you have to worry about Israel contemplating using nuclear weapons.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I mean that's completely delusion of fearmonging bs. I mean, again,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: who is going to destroy Israel? I mean you're getting
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: fragments of missiles falling in Israel. You're not getting actual
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: missiles falling in Israel, getting fragments, You're getting very few launches.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: The Arenias cannot destroy Israel. It's just it's sickening to
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: see this kind of lying and attempt to basically get
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Trump and to stop the war because Israel might use nukes,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: because they might be destroyed. I mean again, all you
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: have to do is call up when your friends in
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Israel and ask them, you know what's going on in
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Israel right now? How are you guys feeling? You know
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: how much damage is there? But no, it's much easier
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to go online in front of huge numbers of people
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: and just talk about here's again a quote from him,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Israel is getting hit harder than they've ever been hit
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: before in their history. And we're only two weeks into
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: this now. That is a blatant, unequivocal light. Israel was
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: hit more by Saddam Hussein's regime in Gulf War One
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: when they were just lobbying missiles into Israel and Israel
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: had nowhere defense system. They got hit harder in the
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Twelve Day War and that wasn't that hard. And this
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: is like one of the weakest hits ISO's ever taken.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: The second in to Fader by the Palestinians was worth.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: October seventh was dramatically worse. I mean, how many people
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: have died in Israel, maybe twelve in a two week period.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Israel is getting hit harder than they've ever been hit
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: before in the history.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: And we're only two weeks into this.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: If this war continues for weeks and months, then Israel
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: could just be destroyed of very large parts of it.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I know people in Israel who driving around Israel for
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: my parents, you can see most of the Hypher Bay.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: There's no destruction. There's nothing happening. Once in a while
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: a building gets hit and it's strategic, but there's no destruction.
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: This is nuts and and it just boggles my mind
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: that these Silicon Valley people who are supposed to be smart,
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: are willing to participate in outrageous lies in order to
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: achieve some.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Political agenda. I mean, this is a guy who is
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: very close to JD. Van's, very close to Peter Teo,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: and then he says, what you know, very large parts
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: of Israel destroyed. Then you have to worry about Israel
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: escalating the war by contemplating using nuclear weapons, which we
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: truly be catastrophic this is David Sacks.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Shame on you, David Sacks. You should be embarrassed.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: You should you should be shamed by the entire Silicon
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Valley community. There have been a dozen deaths in Israel.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, as one guy writes, I mean, think
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: about this right now. The Israeli councy, the Shikel, is
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: at all time highs. The Israeli stock market is at
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: all time highs. You'd think that if Israel is about
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: to collapse, destroyed, if big parts of Israel would be destroyed,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: the Israeli councy would be in free fall and the
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: stock Conkert would be in free fall.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Nobody in Israel is panicking.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I talked to people in Israel regularly. It's truly disgusting. Right.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Here's some stats.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Less than zero points zero zero zero zero.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: One percent of Tel Aviva has been damaged, not to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: mention other cities. Less than twenty people killed. Restaurants, flights, businesses,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: et cetera have all reopened. Uh, and Iran's military has
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: been dramatically degraded. I mean, by any objective evaluation of
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: this war, this is a massive success. And Israel is
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: much much safer today than it's really ever been, certainly
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: in many, many years. So it's stunning again the extent
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: to which people are willing to lie, And now on
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the right the left. I've always known this, but now
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: on the right is just stunning, and I don't know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: surprising to me, I guess, and both place slives that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: are easy to check. There's like that's a could cost
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: in lives and even Donald Trump's lives. Right, I can
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: easily check it is televily destroyed. How many buildings have
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: knocked done, how many people have died? And if I'm
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: not sure about the video coming up, maybe it's being
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: maybe the data is being manipulated. I can call my
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: friends up, I can call people up in Israel. I
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: can ask what's happening, what's on the ground, and I
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: could call more than one. I can verify, I can check.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: It's so easy.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: But they say the lies anyway.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: They have no interest in truth, in any respect for
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: the truth, no respect for the truth.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, what did I see here? So?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Oh Rand, Rand, thank you fifty dollars, Thank you Rand
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: for the sticker. And I saw a few more stickers.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Mary Ellen and Christopher and the rest of questions and yeah,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: you guys have come through. Thank you. We've achieved our
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: first hour goal, so we're well and away and we've
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: started even to chip away at the second hour goal.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: So we're going and heading in the right direction. This
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: is great. Thank you, thank you, Thank you, guys, really
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Let's see, what else did I want to
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: say about the run? Well, yes, let me just find here.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: There's something else I'll get to that in a minute
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: that's unrelated to the run. War. Oh yeah, I wanted
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: to add that Israel is, of course also fighting in Lebanon.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: It really does appear that Israel will be invading southern
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Lebanon and taking the entire territory up to the Litani River.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Israel is not committed, as I've said before, to the
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: complete destruction of risbellah uh and has the opportunity and
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I hope we'll take the opportunity finally to actually do
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: it and and facilitate that and make it happen, so
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: that that is good. So yeah, I mean, and whatever
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: risks Israel faces, it's facically more risks from Krisbela in
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: the north than from Yuan. But even there, the risk
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: of tiny I mean there's very little damage. Almost everything
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: they shoot at Israel is knocked out of the ground,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: knocked out of the air, sorry, out of the ground,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: knocked out of the air. Let's see. Uh yes, so
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I think we're caught up about the war.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: I did want to point out one other thing.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, in looking at Twitter, I spent a lot
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: of time on Twitter.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: One of the things that popped up at me is
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: is that you remember you remember Brett Weinstein. Remember Brett
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: Weinstein when he was sane and normal and and and whatever.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: It was was this academic who stood up to woke
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: because and as a result got attacked in his college
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and had to leave the university and start his own podcast.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: But then something happened to be at Weinstein during COVID,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and I think during COVID Brett Weinstein went crazy. He
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: became nuts in one degree or another. He became nuts.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: He adopted a bunch of conspiracy theories. And since then
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: he's clearly lost it. And you all you have to
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: do is look at video, a look at even photographs
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: of Brett, and he's he doesn't look good. He doesn't
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: look well, and he's definitely got this look in his
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: eye of Nutty. Anyway, Brett Weinstein has become, I guess
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: a fan of Tucker Cross and style commentary and is
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: now just asking questions and in an interview interview interview,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: he just did I think you know he he's he
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: asked questions like didn't it any Hour's regime and the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: neo cons murder Charlie Cook to stop him from blocking
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: the evil plant to destroy the Iranian Revolutionary God by
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: black man Meili Trump with Epstein stuff and intimidating Trump
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: with that golden pager, remember the golden pager that you know,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: the pager celebrating the pager attack Andrisbella and then Tenniel
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: gave Trump a golden pager. And the interpretation that Tacker
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Carlson has and that Bette Weinstein has of that is
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: that was just to intimidate Trump. That was Nathanielle said
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: saying to Trump, we can get you, we can get you.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: You better do what we tell you, otherwise you're next.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be pagured. So Israel is really being blackmailing
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Trump with Epstein's stuff and with intimidation and Charlie Cook,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: who was supposedly dedicated and Bette Weinstein has posted on
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: this dedicated to convincing Trump not to not to invade you,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: on not to attack you on they killed Charlie Cooke
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: because Charlie Cook had too strong of an influence on Trump.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: So it is Israel that killed Charlie Cook after all.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: According to Bette Weinstein and Tucker Carlson, it really is
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: stunning that you get for people who used to be
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: well respected intellectuals. He was part of that.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: You remember the.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Intellectual doc web with his brother, and it's now you
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: know who killed Charlie Coke. Conspiracies, The Mossad did it.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: These really did it. It's now Epstein was a Masad agent,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: a blackmail Trump garbage. It really is. I mean, he
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: really is stunning. How far these people have you know,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: how low they have gone. And I don't know, I
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: don't have an explanation for it. I don't actually actually
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: have an explanation for it. You know, he with people
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: like Milo and a bunch of conspiracy theory people, crazy
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theory people. But he has an audience because he
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: built up that audience. He built up an audience when
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: he was relatively sane. It's truly stunning, truly stunning, and
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: he's he presents himself as a SURROI guy showing you
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the real truth, the truth behind you know, behind all
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: the conspiracies.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: This is the real conspiracy.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: But the funny thing is here was the real conspiracy
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: always turns out to be the same conspiracy. It's the Jews,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: And even Jews like Brett Weinstein think it's the Jews.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing stuff. Uh. And I don't know how we
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: get out of this. I don't know how we get
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: out of it. I don't know how we bring sanity
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: to the debate. How we get people like David Sachs
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and Brett Weinstein and Tucker Carlson and Candice Owned, How
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: how we marginalize them, how we get them out of
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the debate, how we reduce their.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Influence and their impact. I don't know.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I struggle with that. I really really
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: really struggle with it. Uh. Let me see where are we?
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the the the space of commentary has has become,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: you know, just just overwhelmed with these you know, insane
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists of left and right, and and now it's
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's impossible, it's who's left and who's right? And
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Really, they're all collectivistic, mystic conspiracy theory nuts,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: so who cares if they have to brand themselves democrats
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: or Republicans.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: And you know, none of that is relevant to anything.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Somebody said that's what happens when you take ivermectin for COVID.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: It could be. I mean, we should run a study
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: and look at how many people what happened to the
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: people who took i vermectin for COVID, and how many
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: people became conspiracy theory nuts.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I like that hypothesis. It's probably worth looking at. Who
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: knows what else ivermectin kills other than parasites in your gut,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: because that's what it's for. It's for killing parasites. And
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: maybe it also does something to the brain. I don't know.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: You can't have accountability of relying on social media. I mean,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: we need to provide accountability. It can't come from the
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: social media, and it can't come for the government. It
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: has to come from us. I mean, if you follow
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Brett Weinstein, you should stop following with Bert Weinstein. If
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: you follow Techer caution, stop following Techo Constant. If you
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: follow Candace stop following, Stop following these people, Stop giving
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: them the benefit of I've got a million five, you know. Start.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: That's the only way. It's the only language they understand.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Vote with your feet, but vote. This is one area
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: where your votes matter. In politics, they don't matter, but
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: here they matter. If people who disagreed with Candas and
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Tucker about these issues just left, abandoned Candas own and
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Techo cousin, it would make a difference.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: It would actually make a difference.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Let me let me see.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Somebody else says, I have a better hypothesis. It is
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: that we just have a culture of evading reality.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: And this is what it leads to. Absolutely.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Bob, your hypothesis is the true hypothesis. It's easy,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: it's easy to test. It's been tested over and over
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: again in history. This is exactly what evasion leads to.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: This is exactly what happens when you turn your.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Brain off.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: And when you're not thinking, when you're not using cognition,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: and when you're guided, when you're guided by emotion. We've
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: got at least one person on team Tucker. You know,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: that's fine. You were rotten hell, that's what happened. I
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: mean not in hell. In this world, Tucker is a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: destroyer and and people who are on Team Tucker are destroyers,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: and destroyers have miserable, pathetic, awful lives. That's okay, Yeah,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, god, how anybody can be in Team Tucker
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: after all the things Tucker has done said over the
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. You have to be You have
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: to basically have shut off your mind. You basically have
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: said have to say to yourself, Yeah, thinking's not for me.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm in with the demons.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: I'm cool with demons.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: All right, let's see. All right, that was the news.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: We'll call it the news for Saturday, March fourteenth. By
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the way, probably no show tomorrow or Monday, but we'll
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: be back on a regular schedule on Tuesday with the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: more extensive news programs. We'll be back to our regular
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: regular of doing things. You can continue to ask questions.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I know many of you are so thank you for that.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Continue to support the show, and I'm going to jump
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: into the super chat remind you that if you want
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: to support the show on a monthly basis, which is easy,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: kind of a set up a program where we just
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: give a contribution a monthly basis a sponsorship. You can
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: do so Patreon dot com, Patreon dot com and just
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: put you Ron Brooks Show and become a supporter. That
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: is great and that is incredibly value. You can do
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: the same thing on PayPal. I just think Patreon is easier,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: all right, So let's see. Let's just say, yeah, we
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of twenty dollars questions, that is great,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: keep them coming well, one hundred and fifty dollars short
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: of the or one hundred and forty eight dollars short
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: of our second hour goal. So we're doing really well,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: and we've got fifty five minutes to get there, plenty
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: of time for all your questions to answer. Probably won't
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: go longer than two hours. I've got an event to
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: get to. But yeah, let's let's jump in with questions
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: and start with Michael. Is neurosis an anxiety aside effect
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: of pain avoidance.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Not that life is about pain and suffering.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: But being afraid to face challenges and overcome failure leads
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: to psychological inhibit inhibitions. So you're asking a question of
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: psychology that I don't have the answer to, and I
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I wouldn't call it pain avoidance. I
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: think fear generally is a very destructive emotion that clearly
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: leads to anxiety and neurosis. So and I don't think
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: that's about necessarily pain avoidance. It's it's more about fear
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: of the unknown, fear of fear of pain, fear of
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: you know, emotional unpleasant. Yes, a fear can be very
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: useful emotion, but it can be an incredibly destructive emotion
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: in the sense that it builds up that anxiety and eurosis.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: And this one handles and deals with the idea of
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: whether the fear comes from a rational irrational source. It
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: can really build and create really destructive psychology, I think.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm not a psychologist, so these are questions that
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: are probably better for a psychologists. James Israel has moved
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: from managing threats dismantling them.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, a real strategic shift.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: The calculation today is that waiting carries greater danger than acting,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: even if acting means putting your own population in a
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: wolf footing for four weeks at a time, that's absolutely right.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, and this is a strategy I've been
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: talking about. I've been calling Israel to adopt for formally
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: for over twenty years. For twenty five years, certainly since
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: you know nine to eleven, I mean arguing that Israel
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: needs to be proactive in destroying the threats that the faces,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: both with the Palestinians, with Krisbellah and with Uan, I
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: mean calling on them to take on those sets. Now,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Yuon was a distant threat and very difficult to deal with.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Twenty five years ago. The United States was the only
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: party could deal with him. Israel didn't have the capabilities
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: to deal with him back then. But over the years,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Yeahjuan has become the centerpiece, and Israel has developed the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: military capabilities of dealing with you On. But you can
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: see it Israel as committed to dealing with Ribellad. That
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't just mean holding them back, which has been a
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: traditional It means going in and dismantling them. That was
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: the strategy when I was in the Israeli military in
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two. The idea was Israel was going to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: go into Lebanon and dismantle the PLO. The PLO at
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: that time was based in Lebanon all the way up
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: to b Ruts, and we went all the way up
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: to be Ruts and were about to completely dismantle them
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: and take them apart, and Ronald Reagan saved the PLO
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: and Yes offered tragically, I think tragically for the entire region.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: But since then Israel has been another.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Footing of delayed, delayed, delay, and that's been its attitude
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: toward Chrismala. It's been its attitude towards Ramas. It's been
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: we go in, we penalize them, and then we withdraw
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and we we leave them alone. And that is unbelievably destructive.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: It only made the enemy stronger and stronger and stronger.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Something happened about a year into the response October seventh,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: and I think it happened around the pages they I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: think they realized with the Pager attack that they could
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: take the offensive, they could take the initiative. And Israel
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: has become much much, much more aggressive since then, both
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: towards chrismal La. And then if you remember, in SEO
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: and the Acid regime fell, Israel did not sit back
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: to see what would happ happen. They literally proactively went
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: into Syria, both with ground troops and with air and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: destroyed all of the military equipment to US at regime
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: had built up, so that the new regime would not
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: have access to it. They use the opportunity to create
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: a security buffer zone the in the south and to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: take positions that gave them strategic advantage in visa Visyria,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: and they're now used it with the Twelve Day War
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: now with Iran and saying we're not gonna wait until
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: they get nuclear weapons.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: We've been doing that for twenty years.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna wait for them to build up mobilistic
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: missiles so they can inflict more pain on us. We
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: are going to proactively go over there and destroy whatever
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: we can and make sure that they never have nukes
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and they never and they cannot build ballistic missiles, and
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: will go as many times as necessary, will proactively keep
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: them their military weak. And that is the strategy where
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: they can keep it up, I don't know, And of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: course regime change will make it unnecessary, and that's why
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Israel wants regime change. Israel realizes that it's very expensive
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: and very difficult for them every six months, if ye,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: every two years, to get into a war with Iran.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: But they realize they're going to have to if they
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: want to secure the state of Israel.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: But if they have a.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Regime change, they won't need that, So regime change now
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: makes it much cheaper to deal with you on in
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: the future. And that's why I think Israel is much
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: more interested in regime change than Trump is. And this
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: is why they're trying to supply in a sense protection,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: potential protection for demonstrators on the ground. It's why they're
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: putting so much emphasis and going after police stations. And
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: you know, the tools of oppression the regime has against
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: its own people are big target for Israel, even though
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: those tools are not used against Israel directly. Isoe realizes
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: that it's best chance for peace, real peace for a
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: very long time is regime changing Iran, and I think
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: they think it's possible, and I agree with him. It's
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: a question of whether they're willing to do what's necessarily
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: to achieve it, and whether Trump is willing to stay
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the course so far.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: I have to say, you.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Know, I don't say positive things about Trump often, but.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: I have to say I'm surprised and how.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: How long Trump is, how much patience Trump has had
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: so far, and the extent to which Trump is signaling
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: he's willing to go to the course with this, He's
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: willing to continue. He's willing to, He's not going to backtrack,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: he says. So so far, Trump has been excellent on Iran.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, not as excellent as I wish he had
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: been if he planned it out and Homo straits and
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: strategic planning and all of that, which I think he
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: was he was pretty bad on. But but he's he's
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: going the course right, which is pretty amazing, uh and
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: pretty surprising. Not what they expect from him, not at
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: what I expect from him at all. So, uh, you know,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: in this in this one area, in this one war,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: the Trump is exceeding expectations. It's the only area where
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: he is exceeding expectations my view. But he is exceeding expectations.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: And maybe maybe somebody in that administration is listening to
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: this show and in feeding at least on the Iran
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: issue some good stuff to him, because it does seem
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: like they're adopting the strategy I suggested exactly a week ago,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: a Saturday, a week ago, exactly. So all right, Liam,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: I can't see Trump accepting a loss in the midterms.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: I suspect that Ice, what Ice is really there for?
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: If he loses both the House and Senate May, we
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: may see skirmishes one hundred x worse than January sixth.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's certainly possible, but I'm not sure it's inevitable,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm not sure when it actually comes to it,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: whether he's willing to pull the trigger and whether everybody
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: around him is willing to pull the trigger. Let's hope not,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: and let's keep talking about it, and let's keep eluding
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: the American public about it, because it's definitely a possibility.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll actually do it, you know,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: and think about I don't think Republicans in Congress will
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: support it, or at least many of them won't, And
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think they want to face the kind of
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: response in the streets because think about what happened in Minneapolis.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: I think it would be a.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Lot worse and a lot bigger if they try to
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: overturn an election.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: So I think he's putting the pieces in place, so.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: If he thinks he can get away with it, he
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: deploys them.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think he can.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Get away with it, and I think by that point
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: he'll realize he can't get away with it and he
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: won't do it. But I agree with you it's something
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: that has to be watched, and it's silkly a potential.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: It's silkly a potential.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Evan says, pitching in for the super check goal. Have
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: you commented already on Trump's temporary removal of Russian all sanctions?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: I might have earlier in the week.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me for two reasons.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: One, he's super friendly to Russia.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: He just is.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: He's good on Iran and terrible on Russia.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: And second, he's really really focused on all prices. He
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: knows this as consequences to the pocketbook. He knows this
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: could have consequences in the midterms. He knows this as
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: consequences in the stock market. He wants all prices to
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: at the very least stabilize, not go much higher. And
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: uh and uh potentially go lower. And so you know,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: what do you call it providing you know, uh sanctions.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: So reducing the sanctions on Russia or removing them from
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: oil adds Russia's quantity into the oil market and and
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: puts puts uh, you know, weight.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Down on the place of work.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Oh. One thing, and why ail might be going up
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: right now? Uh? I forgot to mention earlier the Huties
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: have said that they will enter the war and and
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: they will try to block the Red Sea straits right
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: and uh, that would limit the ability of the Saudis
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: to use the port that they have on the Red
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Sea to export oil through there. And I think the
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: world so markets are watching that very carefully. Ken Saudi
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Arabia can basically compensate for seventy five percent of their
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: export of oil through this pipeline that goes to the west.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: But for that you have to be able to have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: ships going up and down the Red Sea. If the
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Uties are going to disrupt that, have the capability and
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: willingness to disrupt that, that will be devastating again for
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: all prices, I think. I think the Israelis and Americans
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: are ready to take on the Hooties and I think
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: this time they would do so much more devastating way
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: than they did in the past. So they would try
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: to open up those straits by doing that. But it's
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: more certainly in the market, and I think that explains
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: the rise in all prices today because of the hootie threat. Okay,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: now you have a jog go with them. Will Washington
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: State's millionaire tax be that destructive? Most folks at high
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: rates know how to deduct virtually everything. It's an immoral tax,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: but is it more virtue singly that won't do much
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: damage in practice? This is such a myth, I mean,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: it really is this idea that people who make more
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: than a million dollars don't pay any taxes. They can
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: deduct so many things that their effective tax rates is
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: very low. This is complete bs. The reality is that,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, an overwhelming majority of the taxes,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: the income taxes, are paid by the top ten percent
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: of income owners. Let's see percent. I'm just gonna put
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: this on Google. Percent of income tax paid by top.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Ten over seventy percent, over seventy percent.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: So if they're evading taxes, who are these people that
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: are paying the taxes? I mean, yes, they deduct a
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff, but you can't deduct a lot. And
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: there's the minimum what do you call it? The minimum
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: something income tax? The minimum there's a minimum. There's a
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: because I had this kick in for a few years
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: in California, where once you get to a certain threshold,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: you can't deduct anymore because there's a minimum weight that
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: you have to pay in taxes. And it's high. So no, no, no,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: this is massively damaging. People are gonna pay a lot
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: of taxes. They're gonna pay ten percent minus the deductions.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: But there's only so much you can deduct. It's a
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: lot of money, and it's a lot of money for people.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: And so yes, people are going to choose to leave
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: or people are gonna have their incomes reduced by ten percent.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: You might say, I don't feel sorry for a millionaires,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: but they're the most productive people in economy. They're the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: ones who pay into this. They're the ones who create
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: the jobs, pay into the system, pay the taxes that
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: make everything else possible.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: Ian thank you. It's called the.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Alternative minimum tax, the alternati minimum tax, and everybody pays
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: the alternative minimum tax. And so even if you had
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: lots of deductions and they don't, particularly if you're on salary,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: you don't, the alternative minimum tax kicks in and the
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: deductions don't count. There were years where my mortgage deduction
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: didn't count. And by the way, you can only deduct
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: up to a million dollars of a mortgage. So if
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: you buy a twenty million dollar home, you can only
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: direct one million dollar mortgage. What else can you deduct,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: it's very little you can deduct. Again, this idea that
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: the rich don't pay taxes is absolutely mythology. The top
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: ten percent income owners in the United States pay seventy
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: seven zero percent of all taxes, and the very reates.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: The one percent pay a huge amount of taxes too.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: Now you know, yes, you can. You know, the one percent,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: one percent of the population one percent pay forty percent
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: of all federal individual income taxes. Their incomes are roughly
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: six hundred and sixty two thousand and above. I mean,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: so yeah, the top ten percent, top one percent, the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: million is pay most of the taxes. So I don't know,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: it's not destructive when you penalize those people they leave
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: or they just you don't work less, retire, so very damaging.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a mythology out there that do watch
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: don't pay taxes completely, absolutely, unequivocally false.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: It's just not true.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: They pay higher taxes than any of us, and in
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: terms of dollar amounts, they pay most of the taxes.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Not you have a juggling.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Some alternates said, we see a future where intelligence is
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: from us on a meter. Is this the right way
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: to think about accessing knowledge in the future. Well, it's
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: it's you're accessing something in the future. But is it
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: intelligence or is it just a new way of curating knowledge.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's what AI primally is. It's a way
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: of curating knowledge. It's a way of accessing knowledge. And yeah,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: it's a great it's it's fantastic. It makes life much easier,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: much simpler for us. It makes it possible for us
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: to do the things that we're really good at, thinking
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: and innovating and moving stuff forward and creating new stuff,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: which AI can do a I can just manipulate the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: existing stuff, but in doing so, it can it's a
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: massive resources to.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: All of us.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we'll pay for it. I don't think it's
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be a I don't think it's gonna be a.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: Utility. I think I think he's miscalculating the business model.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be like a utility.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: But yes, that we will be paying for all this information,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: all this knowledge, so that we can build on it
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: to create and build new things.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: Hop Acambo.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how much evil gets a pass in the culture. Yes,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: ion can fund terror for fifty years, putting can invade
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: Ukrainectober seventh, get excused. But if the good defends itself disproportionately,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: that is unacceptable.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's altruism. That's altruism, you know.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: You know, the Hamas represent the weak, and therefore we
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: excuse what they do. Israel is strong, Oh, that's wrong
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: for them to manifest their strength.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: America is strong.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: It's wrong of them to actually use that strength. Only
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the weak allowed to use their strength, only the weak
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: allowed to engage in violence, because the week a week
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: because of the strong is the story. So it's it's
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: this whole oppressed, oppressed, altruistic framing that makes evil get away.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: It makes it possible for people to ignore evil and
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: to resent the strength of the good. Michael. A society
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: that rejects reason cannot survive because reason is the root
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: of survival itself. Yes, which is why I am optimistic
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: about the fall of both evil foreign and domestic. Well,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hope you're right, and there's no question
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: evil will fall. It's more question of time scale when
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: that happens. Short run, long run? You know, is hart
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: to tell decades? Years? Hard to tell?
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Clark, People get furious at welfare fraud.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: But to suggest abolishing the welfare state is still beyond
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: the payoff for their electric Yeah, absolutely again altruism, right, Well,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: what people do, it's your maral duty to help them.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: The state is just exercising your maral duty. It's just
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: doing what you should do anyway, there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, absolutely there's no questioning the welfare state.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: But there is questioning welfare fraud because it's it's it's
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: people exploiting the system. It's the strong exploiting the system,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: I guess. But yeah, And of course it doesn't take
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: much to realize that there is no welfare fraud without welfare,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: and that particularly the generous multiple program get the money
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: out there kind of welfare creates lots of opportunities for
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: real fought all right, Hugh Wickins, thank you.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: For the sticker.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: Let's see if I've got all the stick of people.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: Paul, thank you for the sticker. Two stickers.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. I think I've got everybody else. I'll say
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: thank you to Rand again, Mary Eileen, thank you for
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the sticker, and thank you Ran again for the fifty
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: dollars sticker. That made a big difference today, Right, James,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: The youth of today, particularly online, think it's cool to
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: be a hater, to hate Jews or human beings in general.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Why is this instruction and hate
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: trending over a pursuit of happiness? Well, because nihilism is
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: what they've been taught. It's because they have not been
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: taught to use their mind. The pursuit of happiness is
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: impossible without the use of mind. They have been They've
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: been taught that they should go by their emotions. That
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: has led them to the emotions of fear and anger
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: because they can't succeed in life because their reason is
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: being incapacitated because of our educational system. As a consequence
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: of that. You know, again, they're angry and they're they're fearful.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: They lash out, they join tribes, they learn to hate
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: the people who are successful are using their reason because
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: they feel intimidated by them, and they're like, why can't
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: I have that? And yet they don't realize that the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: tool is reason, And even if they did, they don't.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: They've given up on the means to access it, and
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: they're being trained not to think. They've been trained to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: remote all right, we are eighty nine dollars short of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: our second hour goal, which I think would be good
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: if we could make it, because eighty four dollars now
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: eighty four dollars. You just got five dollars and eighty
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: four dollars short of our second out of four twenty
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: dollars questions would make it. So that would be great
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: if we got four twenty dollars questions, James with the
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: last twenty dollar questions I have in the in the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: in the in the pipeline. One of the reasons resistance
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: forces within Iran are having difficult rising up against the
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: regime is because they don't have a Second Amendment. While
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: ideas are primary, access to self defense weapons is also crucial. Yes,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: but I don't understand this argument. Absolutely, they don't have
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: a second Amendment, they don't have first Amendment, they don't
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: have any rights. So imagine if there was a constitution
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: in Yuan a long time ago, they protected the Second Amendment,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: and then when Naturla came to power, he took it
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: away and they rounded up all the guns and took
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: them from people. I mean, that's exactly what authoritarians do.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: So take America, we have a second Amendment. We have
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: the guns. But when we vote in the authoritarians, one
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: of the things we'll vote in is taking away our guns.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: And we'll give them away because we'll have accepted the
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: authoritarian rule. So yes, now that we have authoritarianism and
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: we want to reject it, oh well, we don't have
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: the guns anymore. So here's the thing. Countries who need
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: a second Amendment in order to overthrow a regime don't
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: have it. The regime that they want to overthrow would
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: never allow it. Countries don't need the Second Amendment in
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: order to overthrow the regime because the regime is pretty good. America,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: for example, have it, bet it. It's not what's keeping
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: the regime good. It's just you know, And when the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: time comes when we embrace authoritarianism, one of the things
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: that we will accept is hand over our guns. And
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: you'll see people will do it willingly. So you know,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the battle is a battle of ideas. It's not
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: about this amendment or that amendment. The first Amendment much
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: more important than the Second Amendment ultimately, because it's a
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: battle of ideas. And when we lose completely the battle
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: of ideas, the second ameneral won't help you. And by
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: the way, when we come to the point where the
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: American government is authoritarian, and even if some people refuse
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: to hand in the guns.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: With the tank, that'll be met with the kind.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: Of military force that you can see the American military
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: using in Iran. Imagine them using them on your neighborhood
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: because your neighbors would not hand over their weapons. How
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: long would you survive with thirty five.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: Is buzzing overhead.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: We better not get to the point where we rely
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: on the Second Amendment to save this country. Jeffrey, thank
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: you for the support, really really appreciated. Oh and yeah,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: we should talk about me coming, me and my wife
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: coming to New York in June and hanging out all right, Roman,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: How are individual rights enforced like in Singapore? Well, again
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: there's a division here. So criminal law is Hondua's law
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: and it's enforced by Honduan law. Civil is mainly you know,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: so contract law is enforced by arbitration. There is uh,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: there's uh you know, what do you call it mandatory obitration?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Uh that you know, if you get sued, it goes.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: To an arbitrary to the to the arbitrary arbitrary.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: Tour and ultimately I guess the force of the Hounderan
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: government stands behind behind it. Now, in addition, there's private
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: security here, so you have the police plus private security
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: guaranteeing you know, security.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Within prosper.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Kim says, why can't we start an objective society there too?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can create an objective's neighborhood, but you're
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to have complete lazi fair
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: and they don't have complete laws affair because you're again
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: still dependent on the Honan government and still dependent on
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: wanting to integrate into.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: The rest of the WORL.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: But yes, you could come here with a bunch of
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: your friends and set up a neighborhood that's all objectivist
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: and live freer than you would almost anywhere else in
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: the world. The one problem is if you're American, is
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: you would still if you earn more than one hundred
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars, you'd still be liable for taxes to the
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: federal government. You'd have to give up your American citizenship.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: Not sure that's worthwhile doing. And right now, yeah, Roman says,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: what's the most successful company in Prospera. I'm not sure
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: there's one biotech company that's doing okay, but look it's
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: still tiny. There's not a lot going on. And one
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: of their hopes is to keep attracting people, attract companies,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: attract enttreneurs, and there's a lot of opportunity to build here,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: but it hasn't been built yet. It's still in the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: process of being built. Roman which councies are used in
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: prospera proportion. Well, I mean, really, you've got three counties
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: I think being used. You've got the dollar, you've got bitcoin,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: and you've got a local, uh crypto wallet that's built
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: I think on ethereum that I forget what it's called.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: I have it. I have it on here once. Say,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: let me tell you what it's called. It's called lever right.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: And and there's a company called in finitsa city which
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: runs this, uh, this kind of wallet. It's a wallet
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: you put dollars in. It's basically a stable coin. It's
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: a stable coin. You put dollars in, you get the
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: dollar equivalents one to one. They're called lives, and you
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: can use these lives to pay and it's it's one
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: to one versus your dollars that you have an account,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: so it's.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: It's underpinned by the dollar.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: But but it's most of what you pay here is
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: electronically through that. Clark says, leave it to Donald Trump
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: to screw up even those things he accidentally does, right, Yeah,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, because it's accidental, there's no guarantee that won't
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: be completely screwed up.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: D Willows.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: If Trump tacos, Zaane predicts that Iran will have a
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: nuclear weapon within the year, because the decapitation strike has
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: crossed the line that Iran will see as necessary now
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: for deterrents thoughts. I think Ewan could have had.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: A nuclear weapon quickly. They would have had it by now.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: I think it's not easy if you want to get
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, and so I don't know that they
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: would get in the year. I do think I agree
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: with it that they will accelerate their program. They will
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: see that their ballistic missile program does not give them deterrents.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: They thought ballistic missiles would give them deterrens, and ballistic
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: missiles are not giving them deterreents, and therefore they would
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: accelerate the nuclear program. So yes, I mean, this has
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: always been the issue. I wan is I think once
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon and it's dedicated.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: To getting one and.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: You know, one way or the other, if you leave
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: them alone, they will get it. Clock China Japan don't
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: strike me as individualistic societies. They mostly emphasize conformity and tradition.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: Yet they have great skyscrapers. Yeah, but I don't.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's right.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: I think Japan is much more individualistic than you would think.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: The young generation in Japan is quite entrepreneurial and and
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: and quite you know, passionate and individualistic and values over ended.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: I definitely think the Chinese culture is very individualistic. It's
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: very family oriented. So there is some collectivism, and of
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: course they're trying to beef up the nationalism, but there
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: is a deep individualism within Chinese culture. It's why Chinese
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: do so well when they emigrate out of China and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: everywhere else in the world. And when you go to
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: China and you see the Chinese.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: They're not conformists at all.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: They all dress definitely, they active only they're very engaged,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: they're passionate, their value seekers.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: I don't see that at all. So I don't think
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: either both. I think particularly Chinese culture, but even Japanese.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: In the success of Japan couldn't happen without this, and
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: the success China couldn't happen without this, without entrepreneurial ability
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: in both cultures, which is individualistic. Now they have elements
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: of collectivism, but strong amount elements of individualism as well,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: and that's why these are successful cultures.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't be successful otherwise.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: Mario, you have a course about corporations that Aari. Can
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: you elaborate on the content? Is this the same course
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: you gave at Peterson? So it's very similar to the
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: Peterson Court.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: It's longer.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: The Peterson Coast is eight hours. This will be sixteen hours,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: but it's basically the same content.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: Just more of it. It'll it'll talk about the nature
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: of the corporation, why it's a moral institution, why it's
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: necessary economic institution, and then they will talk a lot
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: about the history a business.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: In America from the nineteenth century to today, how the
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: corporation evolved, how's been the interaction between government and the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: corporate antity government in business, how has anti trust played
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: a role in shaping the modern corporation. All of that
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: will be covered, so very much like Peterson, but more.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: James is collapsingto titarianism fast on certain thresholds across you know,
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know. My guess is yes, but defining those thresholds,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what those thresholds are. But if you
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: can get away with silencing people, freedom of speech, putting
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: your political enemies in jail, and basically moving towards getting
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: rid of political competition, yeah, it goes, It goes fast.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: Freedom of speech is the key.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Philosophy. It works as merra Ben's and I are getting
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: married today. Wow, congratulations, Thank you a learning us flirt
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: on your show.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: We love you. I appreciate that, and thank you for
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: flooting my show.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: It was cute and congratulations and I hope you continue
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: to float on my show now that you're married. Don't
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: let marriage end flirtation. You know, marriage should just heighten everything.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Everything regarding the relationship should just be heightened in a marriage,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: not nothing should disappear. So congrats guys.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Jacob.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: Of the thirty three regions in Iran, any ones that
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: are likely to fall first, Any secular tribal groups that
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: would break away, I think the most likely are their
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: Kurdish areas and the Zeri as Zeri areas. They they're
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: probably have the most independent streak among them, and they
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: and they have I think suddenly the Kurdish have militant
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: groups associated with them. I'm not sure if there a
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: zis do, but they do have the backing of Azerbajean,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: so that would all be in the northwest relative northwest
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: of the country.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: Hupacampbell.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: Given how irrational and mystical MAGA is, it's amazing how
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: receptive they are to Alex Epstein's Epstein's message, maybe there
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: is hope. Well, I don't know that MAGA is receptive,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: particularly NAT's broad a message. They might be accepted to
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: certain things, but that people in the Republican Party, even
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: in the Trump administration might not be MAGA and who
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: are receptive to Alex?
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: And yes, I think there is some hope.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: And Alex has done a masterful job and shaping his
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: message to make it efficacious politically. F Carroll, I'm shocked
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: at the stupidity of the defeatists. The level of delusion
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: that Iran is winning is beyond absurd. In nineteen seventy
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: people had better information. Well, it's on issue of information.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: We have much much, much much better information now. I mean, god,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: I'm getting videos constantly from Iran about Ivan.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of information I have is unbelievable.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: It's that people can't think, they can't use the information,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: they can't analyze the information they know. So it's not
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: information that is leading them to these abisurd conclusions. It
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: is the irrationality. And irrationality is that all time highs
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: right now relative to the nineteen seventies.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: Michael says it's impossible to tell what Trump is thinking
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't think. He feels from hour to hour. Absolutely,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: it's emotion driven, it's influenced driven. It's whoever whispers in
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: his ear driven. It's not thought. I don't think Trump thinks.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: If you understand what thinking is, Clark, many people's denial
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: of reality and consequences is incurable. Sadly, I think that's why,
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: particularly once they reach a certain name. By the way,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: we're only forty six dollars away.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: From our target.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: We'll probably only do two hours, so the target is perfect.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: If somebody wants to come in with a forty six
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: dollars contribution and get us over the target to the target,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: that'd be great. Twenty twenty and six, we'll do it
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: as well, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, and ten
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: and six. We'll do it as well. Lots of combinations.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: Please consider a sticker to get us there. Thank you,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you Jonathan Honing for the sticker. So yeah, all right,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: F Carol, didn't you un conspire with Hamas to do
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: October seventh? Yes, and they supported Haramas and haven't supported
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: for Mamas forever.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Conspiracies do happen.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: The show was a conspiracy that was real, Yes, but
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: it's easy to detect real conspiracies versus unreal conspiracies. Real
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: conspiracies make sense and there's evidence to support them, actual
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: factual evidence to support them. Roman, could we make war
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: weaponry cheaper? I you know, I don't know, But there
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: are lots of technologies because it's not about making the
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: weapon cheaper. It's might, it's right, it's it's replacing the
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: weapon with something cheaper. So, for example, is those lasers
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: that shoot down drones very very cheap to fire and
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: and and uh as compared to other anti drone technologies.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: Drones are cheaper than airplanes, drone submarines cheaper than manned submarines.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: So it's about moving towards more AI and more automation,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: and and and and just more innovation. Innovation drives drives
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: these things to be cheaper. Liam says, the most important
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: world changing act starts with a mirror. Yes for the
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: people who need it yep. Q Wickens says, you said
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: there was a video that indicated the missile that struck
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: the Ghost schools Iranian?
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: Was that real?
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: I mean I saw video and analysis of that video
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: that suggested that now it's being put into question.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not an expert, so I don't know. I just
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: I'll keep monitoring and seeing what the best information is.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day we'll get
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: a report from the US military that gives us the truth.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: So far, the US military suggests that it was the
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: US military that did it. People who looked at the
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: videos of the missile in slow motions said it wasn't
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: it was the Iranians. But I have no reason to
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: think the US military is lying here, and I would
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: wait to see what the final conclusion is. So I
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: just don't know. I'm not an expert on missile, so
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell the difference. These were people who claimed
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: to be experts, but who knows h Linda says, we're
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: lucky to have you to break all of this down
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: for us.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: I learned something every show. I appreciate that, Linda, Thank
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: you and thank you for the support. We are down
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: to thirty six dollars to get to our goal.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: F Coro.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: That is exactly why you never hand over your arms. Well,
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: good luck with that.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: When somebody's putting.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: A Berzuka at you, you'll hand over your shotgun. You
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: just will, because the you know, if the berzuka is
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: targeted at your home with your children inside, you will
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: hand over your weapons. So nobody's gonna nobody maybe is
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: gonna not a lot. There will be people who won't
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: want to hand over their weapons peacefully, but not everything's
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be peaceful. And when they come for your guns
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: and they have much bigger guns, it's going to be
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: a problem.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: Harrison fun Ai fact.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: Modern lms are all deaf. Most of them can see
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: images see in quotation marks you show them, but they
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: currently is.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: No mechanism for them to hear anything.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that. Because there are lots of llms
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: that will do the transcription. You can talk to them
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: and they will transcribe what you said into text. They
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: will transcribe a whole show of mine into text, So
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: how do they do that if they're not listening? Gail
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: updates on possible Congress approval for this war.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, doesn't look like it's happening.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: Doesn't look like anybody's interested in trying to pursue that
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: and making the effort around it. So I just don't
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: see how it happens. Who pushes it where it goes?
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: Trump doesn't want congressional approval because he wants to be
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: able to say he did in spite of Congress, and
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: nobody in Congress seems to be really really pushing for this,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't see it happening. All right, guys, that
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: is it. That is the show for today. So reminder
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: there will be no show tomorrow Sunday, probably probably no
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: show on Monday, well for certain on Monday, no show,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: and then I will be back on Tuesday. Definitely on Tuesday. Linda,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: thank you for the sticker, and Ryan, thank you for
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: the sticker. Together they knocked the goal down to twenty
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: six dollars. Only twenty six dollars to make I'll target,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: So yes, Tuesday will be back.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: Regular shows from then on.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Probably next weekend, there'll be a member's only show, so yeah,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: and I need to gift my members. We'll do that.
