- 0:14Speaker 2: This is the show, all right, everybody, welcome to your
- 0:22Speaker 2: one book show on this December sixteenth.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Getting closer and closer to Christmas. Everybody is having a.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Great, great day, great week. All right, way to begin today.
- 0:42Speaker 3: So this is the season of this Christmas season. It's
- 0:46Speaker 3: the season of celebration and goodwill. Jews celebrate Hanukock, Christians
- 0:52Speaker 3: and secularists celebrate Christmas. But there's one group out there
- 0:59Speaker 3: that wants to disrupt all that because they.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Harbor a deep hatred.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Of Western civilization and everything it represents. And that group
- 1:13Speaker 3: is Islamists, Islamic fascists, however you want to, however you
- 1:21Speaker 3: want to call them. Just this week, they have Polish
- 1:28Speaker 3: authorities have stopped in isis inspired attack on a Christmas market.
- 1:33Speaker 3: German authorities stopped an Islamist plot to attack a Christian market,
- 1:38Speaker 3: and indeed a number of Christian markets in Germany have
- 1:41Speaker 3: been taken over by large crowds of Muslims chanting for
- 1:48Speaker 3: Sharia law. US authorities arrested anti israel suspects planning and
- 1:55Speaker 3: you ars eve bombings a series of bombings actually in California.
- 2:01Speaker 3: In Amsterdam, there were big demonstration against a concert being
- 2:09Speaker 3: held at the Amsterdam Consulta Bah or something like that,
- 2:16Speaker 3: however you pronounced it.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Where it was a Hanuka celebration.
- 2:20Speaker 3: And there was a singer from Israel, a religious singer
- 2:26Speaker 3: from Israel who has has videos online of singing with
- 2:31Speaker 3: soldiers and might have even served in the Israeli military.
- 2:35Speaker 1: And that was so ridiculous, so absurd, so.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Horrific to the crowd that they demonstrated, they tried to
- 2:42Speaker 3: shut down the event.
- 2:45Speaker 1: The event was initially.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Canceled and then a small event was created a part
- 2:50Speaker 3: of this. Part of the demonstrations, they you know, you
- 2:52Speaker 3: could hear shouts of kill the Jews.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And now this is.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Not just it's this is in this case leftist haters
- 3:04Speaker 3: of Western civilization. And of course we know what happened
- 3:08Speaker 3: on Sunday at Bandai. It's not Bundi, it's Bon Dai
- 3:12Speaker 3: Beach in Sydney, Australia, where sixteen people celebrating Hanukkah at
- 3:21Speaker 3: the beach were slaughtered by.
- 3:25Speaker 1: A couple of Islamic terrorists.
- 3:32Speaker 3: So Islam, militant Islam, you know, radical Islam, Islam, Muslim
- 3:39Speaker 3: jihadism again, however you want to call it, is exerting
- 3:44Speaker 3: its influence throughout and the response of most people is
- 3:52Speaker 3: kind of the response to October seventh, and kind of
- 3:55Speaker 3: the response to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
- 4:02Speaker 1: The response in most of the world is to blame
- 4:07Speaker 1: the Jews. That is, there's no big uprising.
- 4:12Speaker 3: And really people getting upset at the fact that, you know,
- 4:18Speaker 3: Muslims are engaging in acts of violence against Jews and Christians.
- 4:26Speaker 3: There's no great upset at the fact that Muslims are
- 4:29Speaker 3: really trying to dominate and take over the political landscape
- 4:34Speaker 3: in places like Europe.
- 4:37Speaker 1: There's no huge upset.
- 4:39Speaker 3: At the fact that Muslims are slaughtering Jews in Sydney, Australia. No.
- 4:46Speaker 3: But you know, I posted something today on Israel on
- 4:50Speaker 3: my Twitter feed and oh my god, just unbelievable. And
- 4:58Speaker 3: I've told you this before that I get these antisemitic things,
- 5:01Speaker 3: but it just keeps getting worse. And the numbers, just
- 5:05Speaker 3: the numbers are stunning in terms of the number of
- 5:12Speaker 3: people with the most vile, vile commentary. You know why
- 5:21Speaker 3: designists few that you know lies you know that painter
- 5:27Speaker 3: in Austrian painter had to write a referenced to Hitler.
- 5:33Speaker 3: You know, Israel is trying to silence the world, and
- 5:36Speaker 3: we got to the genocide they've committed. Uh, and you
- 5:40Speaker 3: just keep going on and on and on in terms
- 5:43Speaker 3: of oh me personally, it's time to kick me out
- 5:47Speaker 3: of the United States. It's time to send me, send
- 5:51Speaker 3: me back to to Israel. Some of the most disgusting, ugly,
- 5:58Speaker 3: horrific memes that people are posting, really really despicable, posting
- 6:09Speaker 3: photos of mangled bodies of a civilian and children dead
- 6:15Speaker 3: in Gaza. And of course it is everything is Israel's fault.
- 6:21Speaker 3: You know, basically the whole thing is Israel's fault. And
- 6:24Speaker 3: you see that over and over again. I mean there's
- 6:26Speaker 3: even somebody today on Mario Nafaz Nepal who.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Is like the news guy at.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Twitter interviewing an Iranian American professor who basically is suggesting
- 6:43Speaker 3: now that maybe maybe it's quite possible. I'm just asking questions.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Maybe the Bondai massacre, who was an inside job by
- 6:52Speaker 3: the Mossad, Maybe it was a false flag alert. Indeed,
- 6:56Speaker 3: you know that's what happened with nine to eleven. After all,
- 6:58Speaker 3: he says, he says, I wouldn't put it beyond masade
- 7:02Speaker 3: in the Israeli regime on October seventh, when Hamas was
- 7:06Speaker 3: taking the prisoner hostages back to Gaza. We know that
- 7:10Speaker 3: the Israeli regime carried out the Hannibal directive, and it
- 7:13Speaker 3: did not admit this. That killed large numbers of its
- 7:16Speaker 3: own people, supposedly, so you know. And then he says,
- 7:20Speaker 3: regardless of who was behind nine to eleven, someone sold
- 7:23Speaker 3: their stocks right before the attack. In the United States,
- 7:26Speaker 3: never said who sold the stocks, right, We never said.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Who did it couldn't have been Miladen, right.
- 7:31Speaker 3: The regime that carries out genocide, a regime that bombs hospitals,
- 7:34Speaker 3: a regime that pulls the plugs on incubators and murders
- 7:37Speaker 3: tiny infants.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It can do anything.
- 7:44Speaker 3: And this is a common sentiment out there. This is
- 7:49Speaker 3: not unusual. This is not wacky anymore. This is not
- 7:53Speaker 3: some crazies at the margin.
- 7:55Speaker 1: This is everywhere. I mean.
- 7:58Speaker 3: In the BBC after the Bondie attack, Nick Robinson, one
- 8:03Speaker 3: of the commentators on BBC, asked listeners of the BBC
- 8:09Speaker 3: to imagine the impact is going to have on Muslims. Muslims,
- 8:15Speaker 3: they're worried about Muslims. Dale Vince, another commentator on BBC,
- 8:22Speaker 3: blamed Israel for the massacre of the Jews. Uh, it's insane.
- 8:32Speaker 3: It truly is insane. The level of anti Semitism, the
- 8:36Speaker 3: level of hatred of Jews, you know, is is I've
- 8:42Speaker 3: never seen anything like it. I don't think it's existed
- 8:45Speaker 3: at this level really since you know, the Holocaust since.
- 8:51Speaker 1: World War twoists before the world got World War two, and.
- 8:55Speaker 3: It's getting worse, and there are very few defenders is
- 9:00Speaker 3: out there, and it places me in this weird situation.
- 9:04Speaker 3: So this is me, This is me, you know, personally,
- 9:10Speaker 3: it places me in this weird situation because I do
- 9:13Speaker 3: not consider myself on a regular basis, on a day
- 9:16Speaker 3: to day basis, I do not consider myself a Jew.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I'm not religious. I'm an atheist.
- 9:24Speaker 3: I reject the teaching of Judaism, just as I reject
- 9:29Speaker 3: the teaching Christianity, and I reject the teaching of Islam.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I am not Jewish.
- 9:36Speaker 3: I do not celebrate the Jewish holidays. I don't celebrate
- 9:40Speaker 3: any of them. I celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving. Those are
- 9:45Speaker 3: my holidays, and the fourth of July. Those are the
- 9:47Speaker 3: three holidays I celebrate. I in no respect, I didn't
- 9:55Speaker 3: raise my kids to be Jewish. My kids don't know
- 9:58Speaker 3: what it means to be Jewish, they don't know Jewish holidays,
- 10:02Speaker 3: they have no sense of what it means. I left
- 10:07Speaker 3: Israel partially because I don't feel like I don't think
- 10:13Speaker 3: of myself as a Jew in any meaningful sense. Everybody
- 10:22Speaker 3: knows I'm from a Jewish background because they see my
- 10:25Speaker 3: name or they know something about me, and they just
- 10:28Speaker 3: make an assumption. So I am attacked as a Jew
- 10:31Speaker 3: constantly on Twitter. I mean constantly, and you know, it's bizarre, weird, sad, pathetic,
- 10:46Speaker 3: annoying to be in this situation. But I really do
- 10:54Speaker 3: accept kind of in Man's perspective on this, or at
- 10:57Speaker 3: least as told by somebody worked fine man.
- 11:02Speaker 1: That Iineman once said that she was only considered herself
- 11:06Speaker 1: a Jew in the face of anti Semitism. And right
- 11:09Speaker 1: now I'm willing to fight.
- 11:14Speaker 3: For the Jews, not because I'm any more of a
- 11:18Speaker 3: Jew than I was yesterday, but because the injustice here
- 11:22Speaker 3: is just so horrific.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I mean, I am a huge critic of so much
- 11:30Speaker 1: that is Jewish.
- 11:34Speaker 3: I find the ultra orthodox Jews, that they're back clothes
- 11:38Speaker 3: and all this stuff, and who refuse to go sit
- 11:40Speaker 3: in the military. I find them despicable and horrible and offensive,
- 11:45Speaker 3: and I really despise them. And yet now I find
- 11:54Speaker 3: myself on somehow on the side defending Jews because I
- 11:59Speaker 3: have because of the injustice of it, and because I
- 12:03Speaker 3: am lunked in with them, whether I like it or not,
- 12:06Speaker 3: whether I want to or not, whether I would deny
- 12:08Speaker 3: it or not, whether reject it or not.
- 12:12Speaker 1: And it seems cowardly in the.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Face of anti Semitism to say, no, no, no, I'm not
- 12:16Speaker 3: a Jew. No, in a face of antisemitism, I am
- 12:18Speaker 3: a Jew. Come say that to my face. It really is. It's,
- 12:35Speaker 3: you know, the emotionally very strange and difficult to know,
- 12:43Speaker 3: you know, kind of know how to deal with it.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Intellectually, I get what's going on, and all that.
- 12:52Speaker 3: The anti semitis achieving re God to me is making
- 12:56Speaker 3: me just more furious and more committed to the fight
- 12:58Speaker 3: against them, you know, into bringing out the truth, into
- 13:05Speaker 3: articulating the truth, bring it on is exactly the attitude.
- 13:12Speaker 3: But you know, it can't win if they really bring
- 13:14Speaker 3: it on. There are a lot more of them than
- 13:15Speaker 3: they are of me. I know exactly what bringing it
- 13:19Speaker 3: on ultimately means. Bringing it on ultimately means, you know
- 13:25Speaker 3: what happened during World War Two. Now, as I've said,
- 13:30Speaker 3: and I will continue to say, this is why Israel exists,
- 13:35Speaker 3: this is why I was created, this is why I
- 13:37Speaker 3: should continue to exist, so that if it is brought on,
- 13:42Speaker 3: there is a way, there's a way, there's some way
- 13:46Speaker 3: one can escape to. I don't want to go back
- 13:48Speaker 3: to Israel, but I can imagine. I don't want to
- 13:52Speaker 3: imagine a situation where I have to and the the
- 14:04Speaker 3: just the horror of the horror of Western the Western world.
- 14:11Speaker 3: I almost said civilization, but in this to God, they're
- 14:14Speaker 3: not being civilized, the horror of the Western world. Just
- 14:18Speaker 3: accepting the Islamic story, accepting what Ramas tells it. And
- 14:25Speaker 3: by the way, the anti Semitic stuff that I get,
- 14:28Speaker 3: I can't tell. Some of it is clearly like leftist,
- 14:33Speaker 3: you know, the globalizing to fought out leftist. But a
- 14:37Speaker 3: lot of it is right wing, groper you know, new rights,
- 14:44Speaker 3: alt right kind of stuff. It's hard to separate them
- 14:48Speaker 3: these days. They look almost the same see, here's the West.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Here's the West, not paying any attention, not caring, shrugging.
- 15:01Speaker 1: About the ever growing power.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Of Islam within the West, and the ever growing power
- 15:08Speaker 3: of uncivilized Islam. Islam as an uncivilizing force in the West.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Non insisting, they assimilate, non insisting on the rule of
- 15:18Speaker 3: law when it applies to them. Indeed, if you saw
- 15:22Speaker 3: in the in the Bandai attack, you saw the police
- 15:25Speaker 3: hang back a little bit and not really engage. Well,
- 15:28Speaker 3: part of that is they're training not to really interfere,
- 15:31Speaker 3: not not not to stop the Islamists. Now, of course
- 15:35Speaker 3: when they're shooting. My guess is they were told they're
- 15:39Speaker 3: supposed to interfere. But if the training is generally, you know,
- 15:44Speaker 3: don't offend the Muslims, don't offend the Muslims. But that's
- 15:58Speaker 3: what most of the West to be concerned about, not
- 16:01Speaker 3: offending the Muslims. All what you get on the right is, yeah,
- 16:08Speaker 3: let's offend the Muslims, but let's take down the Jews
- 16:12Speaker 3: at the same time. When while we're at it, why not.
- 16:17Speaker 3: I mean you can see that in Fluenus and Tucker
- 16:20Speaker 3: and these guys, they're not concerned about Islam. They are
- 16:23Speaker 3: concerned at all about Islam. Indeed, Tucker's best friends are
- 16:29Speaker 3: the funders of the Islamist movements all over the West.
- 16:37Speaker 3: I mean, Candice so One, Tucker Carlson. They're not doing
- 16:41Speaker 3: show after show showing the conspiracy.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Behind and he is a real conspiracy behind the.
- 16:46Speaker 3: Muslim Brotherhood funding Mosques, funding you know, Koran study groups,
- 16:53Speaker 3: funding radicalized movements all over Europe and all over the
- 16:57Speaker 3: United States, within the within the the Muslim community, and
- 17:02Speaker 3: how that is leading the violence, and how that is
- 17:06Speaker 3: targeted at imposing Sharia law in the entire West. They
- 17:09Speaker 3: don't do any shows about that. But the idea that
- 17:14Speaker 3: the Jews control the world, that the idea that the
- 17:17Speaker 3: Jews killed Charlie Cooke, the idea that the Jews are
- 17:20Speaker 3: behind anything negative that happens in the world, that they
- 17:24Speaker 3: have devoted themselves fully and completely in their life. And
- 17:31Speaker 3: you know, I would say that they're just a marginal group,
- 17:33Speaker 3: and to some extent they still at just a marginal group.
- 17:37Speaker 3: But if you look at pole after pole among young
- 17:39Speaker 3: people that is the future of this country, their attitudes
- 17:44Speaker 3: are not that homoginal.
- 17:48Speaker 1: The attitudes are not that marginal, and at the end
- 17:52Speaker 1: of the day.
- 17:54Speaker 3: The attitudes are not that different than what is you know,
- 17:57Speaker 3: what is going on at the White House now. I
- 18:00Speaker 3: don't believe I don't think that Trump is particularly anti Semitica,
- 18:04Speaker 3: though you know, who knows what he is.
- 18:07Speaker 1: In any given moment, he might be something different. But
- 18:12Speaker 1: let's be clear. Trump is no friend of Israel.
- 18:18Speaker 3: He is no friend of Israel, in spite of the
- 18:20Speaker 3: Israelis wanting to believe that, in spite of everybody wanting
- 18:23Speaker 3: to believe it, in spite of the fact that he
- 18:26Speaker 3: puts on a good show and he does certain things
- 18:30Speaker 3: that appear that way. He's the guy who saved Hamas,
- 18:39Speaker 3: completely screwed up Gaza and Israel's on the verge of
- 18:42Speaker 3: ending it. He's the guy who's really bad on Syria
- 18:46Speaker 3: and basically supportive of an Isis former Isis president of Syria.
- 18:51Speaker 3: He's the guy who loves Zdegan, who is an Islamist
- 18:56Speaker 3: president of Turkey. He's the one who refuses to really
- 19:03Speaker 3: go after the Muslim brotherhood in the United States or
- 19:06Speaker 3: anywhere else in the world for that matter. And now
- 19:10Speaker 3: there is a story coming out that the United States
- 19:14Speaker 3: is in talks with Kato.
- 19:16Speaker 1: You remember the Kataris.
- 19:20Speaker 3: To sell them, not just Saudi Arabia and Turkey, not
- 19:24Speaker 3: just Saudi Arabian Turky, but now to sell the Kataris
- 19:28Speaker 3: thirty fives. So let's arm all of Israel's enemies, let's
- 19:36Speaker 3: arm all the people funding Islamic terrorism around the world.
- 19:40Speaker 3: And then you want to call this guy a friend
- 19:42Speaker 3: of Israel or a friend of the West, or friend
- 19:46Speaker 3: of Western civilization. It's yeah, it's hard for me not
- 20:06Speaker 3: to take this stuff personally. And when I get angry,
- 20:11Speaker 3: I really am angry because I know that whether I
- 20:16Speaker 3: consider myself, as I said, a Jew or not consider
- 20:19Speaker 3: myself a Jew. And by the way, all these attacks
- 20:23Speaker 3: that I get on Twitter, all the attacks that I'm
- 20:25Speaker 3: seeing in places like Amsterdam and elsewhere, it's not about Israel.
- 20:31Speaker 1: It's not about Israel. They don't say Israelis did this,
- 20:35Speaker 1: or he's really a Monster's there's really he's a model,
- 20:38Speaker 1: or is Raally's a baby killers. It's all Jews. It's
- 20:44Speaker 1: all it's all articulated as Jews. They don't say kill
- 20:49Speaker 1: these Raelies, they say kill the Jews. That is that
- 20:59Speaker 1: is the you know, the state.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Of the world. And as somebody who is going to
- 21:04Speaker 3: be viewed by them.
- 21:10Speaker 1: As a Jew.
- 21:11Speaker 3: It's legitimately scary. Oh, you know, I'm not really scared.
- 21:16Speaker 3: It's legitimately upsetting, it's legitimately infuriating, it's legitimately, you know,
- 21:28Speaker 3: really mind boggling in terms of just how we've descended
- 21:32Speaker 3: into this pit in hell.
- 21:37Speaker 1: This is the West women America. You know that that
- 21:47Speaker 1: was Australia.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Australia, and Europe is falling. Europe is falling. So uh,
- 22:04Speaker 3: you know, am I a Jew when it comes to
- 22:09Speaker 3: this stuff?
- 22:10Speaker 1: Yeah, as.
- 22:12Speaker 3: You know, I'll fight them. I'll stand up to them.
- 22:17Speaker 3: And when I say i'll fight them, I mean intellectually.
- 22:19Speaker 3: I'm not into fist fights and I don't want to
- 22:22Speaker 3: be into.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I would lose. I would lose really badly.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Although it's good to spread the rumor that I know
- 22:28Speaker 3: Kovmagah and.
- 22:30Speaker 1: And kill with a single blow. It's good.
- 22:34Speaker 3: It's good if if everybody in the world believe that.
- 22:38Speaker 3: But I'm not interested in a fist fight when I'm
- 22:41Speaker 3: interested in and I'm not interested really an intellectual fight
- 22:45Speaker 3: against them. But I will stand up against them, I
- 22:47Speaker 3: will speak out against them, I will educate people against them.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I will fight enough for Jews. I will fight for
- 22:59Speaker 3: Western civilization, or really for civilization. Maybe the West is
- 23:04Speaker 3: finished and all we have to do is fight for civilization,
- 23:08Speaker 3: for civilization that views individuals. Individuals is what matters the judges. Individuals,
- 23:17Speaker 3: not groups, not clans, not tribes, but individuals, and they
- 23:24Speaker 3: need to be stood up to. And those of you
- 23:28Speaker 3: who want to join me in standing up to the monsters,
- 23:31Speaker 3: I appreciate that, and thank you. You can come over
- 23:35Speaker 3: to Twitter and and join me in the fight over there,
- 23:41Speaker 3: or you know, come to Somebody talks all over the world,
- 23:45Speaker 3: but we're at a point where it's civilization versus barbarism.
- 23:49Speaker 3: It's not even like differently intellectual traditions and intellectual points
- 23:54Speaker 3: of view. They have no intellectual point of view. They
- 23:57Speaker 3: are the barbarians. Our job is not to fight them,
- 24:01Speaker 3: because the barbarians so they cannot, They cannot deal with
- 24:05Speaker 3: the intellectual issues. Our job is to awaken anybody who
- 24:11Speaker 3: is still on the side, at least even partially, of civilization.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Anybody who still has some respect for reason, anybody who
- 24:20Speaker 3: still believes in America, anybody who still believes in.
- 24:26Speaker 1: The ideas of individual rights and individualism. We need to
- 24:31Speaker 1: awaken them to the real threat. The barbarians are at the.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Door, and they're not and outside doors and inside door
- 24:41Speaker 3: its internally because they are you already, the Muslims and
- 24:45Speaker 3: their sympathizers, and the antisemitics, and the collectivists and the
- 24:53Speaker 3: just the religious barbarians. The barbarians are right amongst us.
- 24:58Speaker 3: And if we don't fight them, if we don't rally.
- 25:01Speaker 3: Put it that way, if we don't rally, what's left
- 25:04Speaker 3: of the good in this country and in the West,
- 25:07Speaker 3: we will all suffer the consequences. It's time to fight, guys.
- 25:14Speaker 3: There's no things are just getting worse. They're not getting better.
- 25:19Speaker 3: They're just getting worse. From this perspective, there will be
- 25:21Speaker 3: a segment of the show later on about the good news.
- 25:25Speaker 3: But this is you know, this is the world that
- 25:29Speaker 3: the cusp. This is a time to take sides. This
- 25:35Speaker 3: is a time to stand up, and this is a
- 25:38Speaker 3: time to be hood in that sense.
- 25:40Speaker 1: This is a time to speak up, to speak.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Up for the good, in defense of the good and
- 25:50Speaker 3: in rejection of barbarism. Can you believe that there are
- 25:57Speaker 3: people out there who think that the Mossade did the
- 26:00Speaker 3: Bandai And there are people who claim to be objectivist,
- 26:05Speaker 3: who believe nine to eleven was an inside job.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I mean, the world is going to hell.
- 26:12Speaker 3: And those of us who know better need a wake up,
- 26:16Speaker 3: need to wake up. How do I switch out of that?
- 26:31Speaker 1: So there was there's a Vanity Fair article.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Out that is based that provides details from a interview
- 26:45Speaker 3: conversation that Vanity Fair writer had with Susane Niles Wiles,
- 26:51Speaker 3: who is Trump's chief of staff. Wiles ran a Trump's campaign.
- 26:58Speaker 3: I think she was the first person and Trump hired
- 27:00Speaker 3: in the new administration.
- 27:02Speaker 1: She basically runs the White House for Trump. And it's
- 27:08Speaker 1: a long article.
- 27:09Speaker 3: It's a detailed article, and it quotes her and cites
- 27:14Speaker 3: her extensively. And this is some of the things some
- 27:20Speaker 3: of the things Susie Wiles supposedly said to Vanity fain
- 27:26Speaker 3: now Wiles.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Just to be clear, Wiles has has.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Written that the article published is a disingenuously framed hit
- 27:37Speaker 3: piece on me and the finest president, white House staff
- 27:41Speaker 3: and cabinet in history. I wonder if she wrote this,
- 27:44Speaker 3: although there's no all caps, so maybe it actually is her.
- 27:48Speaker 3: She says significant context was disregarded, and much of what
- 27:51Speaker 3: I and others said about the team and the President
- 27:55Speaker 3: was left out of the story. I assume after reading
- 27:58Speaker 3: it that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic
- 28:03Speaker 3: and negative narrative about the President and our team. The
- 28:06Speaker 3: truth is that Trump White House has already accomplished more
- 28:10Speaker 3: than eleven months than any other president has accomplished in
- 28:14Speaker 3: eight years. And that is due to the unmatched leadership
- 28:17Speaker 3: and vision of God. No, No God, President Trump, for
- 28:21Speaker 3: whom I have been honored to work for for a
- 28:23Speaker 3: better part of a decade. None of this will stop
- 28:27Speaker 3: our relentless pursuit of making America great again. Notice, in
- 28:31Speaker 3: no way in this statement does she deny the many, many,
- 28:37Speaker 3: many quotations that Vanity Fay attributes to her. She's just
- 28:42Speaker 3: taking context and all this. So let's read what Vanity
- 28:45Speaker 3: Fay actually has to say that she said about the
- 28:49Speaker 3: Trump administration. And I'm just going to read you off
- 28:52Speaker 3: of a list that was made of highlights from the article.
- 28:59Speaker 3: While said she has read the Epstein documents Epstein documents
- 29:04Speaker 3: and acknowledged that Trump's name is in.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Them, I don't think anybody's surprised by.
- 29:08Speaker 3: That, Wiles said she urged Trump not to pardon the
- 29:11Speaker 3: most violent January six writers, he ignored her advice. She
- 29:16Speaker 3: admitted Trump is looking for retribution. When there's an opportunity,
- 29:20Speaker 3: he will go for it. She tried to convince Trump
- 29:24Speaker 3: to stop score setting against political enemies after ninety days
- 29:28Speaker 3: in office. That effort failed because Trump's desire for retribution
- 29:33Speaker 3: never stopped. Wiles directly contradicted Trump's claim about Bill Clinton,
- 29:39Speaker 3: stating there is no evidence Clinton ever visited Jeff deffiy
- 29:42Speaker 3: Epstein's private island. She described Trump as having quote an
- 29:47Speaker 3: alcoholics personality unquote. Wiles said her ability to work with
- 29:52Speaker 3: him comes from growing up with an alcoholic father.
- 29:55Speaker 1: The sportscaster Pat Sommeron on Vice president JD.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Van as Will said he was quote being a conspiracy
- 30:03Speaker 3: theorist for a decade, being a conspiracy theorist for a decade,
- 30:07Speaker 3: and that his conversion from Trump critic to loyalist was
- 30:10Speaker 3: political driven by his Senate ambition rather than principle. She
- 30:14Speaker 3: described Alun Musk as an avowed ketamine user, an odd
- 30:19Speaker 3: odd duck whose actions were offered not rational and left aghast.
- 30:25Speaker 3: She called Budget director Russell T. Vote a right.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Wing absolute zealand that he is.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Wiles defended usad AID, which of course was basically almost
- 30:38Speaker 3: eviscerated by Doge saying that quote, anyone who has paid
- 30:43Speaker 3: attention to government.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Knows they do very good work.
- 30:46Speaker 3: She said Attorney General Pam Bondi completely whiffed the handling
- 30:51Speaker 3: of the Astane files, explaining, quote, first she gave binders
- 30:57Speaker 3: full of nothingness. Then she claimed the witness list or
- 31:01Speaker 3: client list was on a desk. There is no client list,
- 31:03Speaker 3: and it sure as hell wasn't on her desk. She
- 31:07Speaker 3: said the administration needs to look harder at deportations to
- 31:11Speaker 3: avoid mistakes. Referring to two mothers who are arrested and
- 31:15Speaker 3: deported with their children after voluntarily attending routine immigration meetings,
- 31:19Speaker 3: Wiles said, quote, I can't understand how you can make
- 31:22Speaker 3: that mistake, but somebody did. She tried unsuccessfully to get
- 31:27Speaker 3: Crump to delay major tariffs, signing a huge disagreement among
- 31:32Speaker 3: his advisors. Whiles summed up Trump's governing mindset this way.
- 31:38Speaker 3: He operates with a belief that there is nothing he
- 31:40Speaker 3: can do, nothing, zero nothing.
- 31:50Speaker 1: So that is Wiles.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Again, she claims it's out of context, although she doesn't
- 31:57Speaker 3: deny any of the quote. Supposedly, she questioned one of
- 32:01Speaker 3: the quotes and and the the the Interviewer Center recording
- 32:13Speaker 3: of the interview, where the quote is exactly what while said, now,
- 32:20Speaker 3: why she would give an interview to Vanity Fair, a
- 32:26Speaker 3: you know, and not particularly friendly venue to the president.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Why she would give an extensive interview to them where
- 32:36Speaker 3: she is obviously critical of Trump and all of this.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Why she would let them record it and supposedly it
- 32:43Speaker 3: was on record. Why all this happened. I have no idea.
- 32:47Speaker 3: Somebody should come up with a good, juicy conspiracy theory
- 32:51Speaker 3: to explain it.
- 32:53Speaker 1: But Trump is very unhappy.
- 32:54Speaker 3: He hasn't fired her yet, and I don't think he
- 32:57Speaker 3: will because I think he needs her.
- 32:59Speaker 1: I think she's the one who kind of keeps order
- 33:02Speaker 1: in this in.
- 33:03Speaker 3: This crazy, crazy, uh you know, White House.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Uh.
- 33:14Speaker 3: She also said, by the way, in the interview, you
- 33:16Speaker 3: just give some other examples that Trump privately believed that
- 33:19Speaker 3: Trump's aim in Ukraine go beyond limited territory concessions. That
- 33:25Speaker 3: Trump thinks that Putin ultimately wants control of the entire territory.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Trump believes that, and yet he's pushing the Ukrainians to give.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Russia what it wants.
- 33:44Speaker 3: He is he has a little bit more on on
- 33:46Speaker 3: this issue. With with Putin, Trump's team was divided on
- 33:49Speaker 3: whether Putins go for the article, Putin's goal was in
- 33:52Speaker 3: anything less than a complete Russian takeover of Ukraine. The
- 33:56Speaker 3: experts think that if he could get the rest of
- 34:00Speaker 3: dun't ask, then he would be happy. Wiles told me
- 34:04Speaker 3: this is in the article, told me in August, but
- 34:07Speaker 3: privately Trump wasn't buying it. He didn't believe Putin wanted peace.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Donald Trump thinks he wants the whole country, Wiles told me.
- 34:16Speaker 1: And then that means Donald Trump is happy to give
- 34:25Speaker 1: Putin the whole country.
- 34:28Speaker 3: In October, I asked Marko Rubio if this was true,
- 34:31Speaker 3: and this is Marco Rubio quote from Marco Rubio. There
- 34:34Speaker 3: are offers on the table right now to basically stop
- 34:37Speaker 3: the swall at its count lines of contact Okay, which
- 34:40Speaker 3: include substantial parts of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea, which they've
- 34:45Speaker 3: controlled since twenty fourteen, And the Russians continue to turn
- 34:48Speaker 3: it down, and so you do start to wonder, well,
- 34:52Speaker 3: maybe what this guy wants is the entire country. So
- 34:56Speaker 3: they know they're not fool, They're just willing to give
- 35:02Speaker 3: it to him. They're willing to support Putin, They're willing
- 35:06Speaker 3: to grant him the whole of Ukraine.
- 35:08Speaker 1: They really, really, really just don't care.
- 35:13Speaker 3: They want to get out of Europe and they're quite
- 35:16Speaker 3: happy to hand Europe to Putin. They they they just
- 35:22Speaker 3: you know, hate, they hate Europe. Europe is represents for
- 35:29Speaker 3: them the Left. They can't stand Zelinski or Ukraine.
- 35:34Speaker 1: And Putin for them is the tough the tough guy,
- 35:38Speaker 1: he's the good guy.
- 35:39Speaker 3: At the end of the day. That is Trump, that's Trump.
- 35:43Speaker 3: They don't want a fair piece deal. They want Putin.
- 35:47Speaker 3: They want to hand Putin victory and at least Trump does.
- 35:54Speaker 3: I think I think Marco Rubio actually supports Ukraine, but
- 35:57Speaker 3: I think Trump, Vans and the rest of them they
- 36:01Speaker 3: really really want to help Putin or at least they
- 36:09Speaker 3: don't want to stand him his way for him to win. Yeah,
- 36:17Speaker 3: that's the latest from the windows.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Of the Trump administration. Well not the no, it's not
- 36:24Speaker 1: the end of it. We've got a couple more stories
- 36:25Speaker 1: about this.
- 36:29Speaker 3: So at a past conference, well not a pet conference,
- 36:33Speaker 3: an announcement, Trump signed a new executive order, try to
- 36:38Speaker 3: signed a new executive order designated designating fentanyl, at least
- 36:44Speaker 3: the fentanyl not that's used in your anesthetic when you
- 36:46Speaker 3: go into the surgery, because fentanyl is used as an
- 36:50Speaker 3: anesthetic for.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Surgical procedures.
- 36:55Speaker 3: If you get a colonoscopia, endoscopy or anything like that,
- 36:58Speaker 3: they use fentanyl.
- 37:00Speaker 1: But Street fentonol.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Trump has now designated it as a weapon of mass destruction.
- 37:09Speaker 3: A weapon of mass destruction. I mean, words mean nothing anymore,
- 37:20Speaker 3: Concepts mean nothing anymore. I mean cause of weapons of
- 37:25Speaker 3: mass destruction. Cause kill a lot of people, cause give
- 37:33Speaker 3: cause give you know, kill a lot more than fentanyl.
- 37:38Speaker 3: And I think as a consequence you have to conclude
- 37:41Speaker 3: that cause a weapon of mass destruction. Guns, knives and
- 37:54Speaker 3: these things make there's no they make no sense anymore.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Why is he designate fencing all as a weapon of
- 38:01Speaker 3: mass destruction? Remember we talked the other day about the
- 38:05Speaker 3: difference between mustard gas and fence and all. And the
- 38:08Speaker 3: fact is that if mustard gas was being onto the
- 38:11Speaker 3: bought into the US, yes, bombing, bombing the boats would
- 38:14Speaker 3: be fine.
- 38:16Speaker 1: And absolutely so you know, conceptually making it MLKY.
- 38:24Speaker 3: The difference between drugs and weapons of mass destruction serves
- 38:29Speaker 3: their purpose brilliantly. Now they're just defending the homeland against
- 38:32Speaker 3: weapons of mass destruction, which means we're at war.
- 38:37Speaker 1: But we're not at war.
- 38:40Speaker 3: At most, it's a criminal issue people selling drugs in America.
- 38:47Speaker 3: Nobody is forcing people to take drugs. Nobody is forcing
- 38:51Speaker 3: people to eject heroin, snort cocaine, take fence and all
- 38:57Speaker 3: whatever means they take it.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Smoke wanna.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Now, a true thought has been committed in to some
- 39:04Speaker 3: of these people when fentanyl, without their knowledge is included
- 39:09Speaker 3: in the heroine and in the cocaine.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Or in or whatever.
- 39:11Speaker 3: I don't know if it's including cocaine, but an heroin,
- 39:16Speaker 3: you know. But that's the consequence of having an illegal
- 39:19Speaker 3: dug drug trade. But fentanyl is not a weapon. It's
- 39:25Speaker 3: just a drug. Fentanyl is not unleashed on the American people.
- 39:32Speaker 3: The American people choose to buy it and inject it
- 39:37Speaker 3: and ingest it. Fentanyl, the transportation and the sailing of
- 39:48Speaker 3: fentanyl is not an act of war.
- 39:53Speaker 1: There is nobody wear at war with.
- 40:01Speaker 3: So I mean, this is so irrational and and again
- 40:06Speaker 3: such a desperate attempt to justify their horrific behavior. Pretty pathetic.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Talk about pathetic. So there's a man named hng Guan
- 40:25Speaker 3: Hnging Guan Hanguan risk his life in China to expose
- 40:32Speaker 3: the China's Uga camps. These are the camps that China
- 40:36Speaker 3: has in Western China for the Ugash, the Muslim minority
- 40:44Speaker 3: that lives in China particularly, it's actually a majority in
- 40:48Speaker 3: in in the provinces in West China.
- 40:51Speaker 1: So you know, he risked his life to to expose this.
- 40:54Speaker 1: He was he's a dissident.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Within within within China, and he managed to escape. He
- 41:04Speaker 3: manages to escape to the United States and to seek asylum,
- 41:11Speaker 3: to seek asylum here, he actually produced video evidence showing
- 41:18Speaker 3: what was going on in these camps and what was
- 41:20Speaker 3: going on in China. Anyway, he has now been detained
- 41:24Speaker 3: by Ice and is going to be deported. Now, the
- 41:32Speaker 3: United States is not quite you know, explicitly brutal enough
- 41:39Speaker 3: to literally deport him to China. Not directly, I mean
- 41:48Speaker 3: that would be like returning a Soviet dissident back to
- 41:52Speaker 3: the Soviet Union. And if he was returned to China,
- 41:54Speaker 3: he will die. He will be killed, There's no question
- 41:56Speaker 3: about that. So it seems like the United States is
- 42:00Speaker 3: going to deport him to Uganda, to u Ganda, which
- 42:05Speaker 3: has very close economic and military ties with China, so
- 42:09Speaker 3: it's almost certain that if he gets deported to Uganda,
- 42:13Speaker 3: he will be deported to China and his blood, his
- 42:16Speaker 3: blood will be on Donald Trump and on the entire
- 42:22Speaker 3: command structure of ICE.
- 42:25Speaker 1: And this is just despicable. It's just despicable.
- 42:30Speaker 3: But yes, if you're a white Africana, if you're a
- 42:34Speaker 3: white South African, if your skin color is white and
- 42:36Speaker 3: you don't have slanted eyes, you are welcoming to the
- 42:39Speaker 3: United States.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Absolutely, you can come into the United States and be
- 42:44Speaker 3: granted asylum. But you have freedom fight in China or
- 42:47Speaker 3: in Venezuela, in any country in the world with freedom
- 42:52Speaker 3: is dramatically under attack. If you have freedom, fight, if
- 42:54Speaker 3: you're risking your life to criticize your for the first
- 43:02Speaker 3: time in American history, really you are not welcoming America.
- 43:07Speaker 3: Unless you're white, then you are. I mean, the racism
- 43:16Speaker 3: of the current asylum program is stunning. It's explicit, and again,
- 43:22Speaker 3: almost nobody's talking about it. Right The only people right
- 43:25Speaker 3: now who are permitted to seek asylum in the United
- 43:28Speaker 3: States are white Africans who are being discriminated against. I
- 43:34Speaker 3: absolutely being discriminated against. By the black majority in South Africa,
- 43:39Speaker 3: and if they want asylum, they should be granted asylum,
- 43:44Speaker 3: although I'm not sure why couldn't they just emigrate here
- 43:47Speaker 3: under a jobs program? But why are they better in
- 43:54Speaker 3: some way more legitimate than Venezuelaans, Cubans, Chinese or a
- 44:02Speaker 3: whole wide range of people fighting against the authoritarian regimes
- 44:08Speaker 3: that they live under.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Why are the South Africans more legit? Skin color? It's
- 44:12Speaker 1: all about skin color.
- 44:13Speaker 3: It's all that's what matters to people like like Miller.
- 44:16Speaker 3: By the way, I mean the Afacanas, And again I
- 44:20Speaker 3: don't want to attribute I don't want to reade collective guilt,
- 44:23Speaker 3: but the Africanas, at least a facanas of fifty or
- 44:28Speaker 3: what is it, thirty years ago, the Figanas.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Of thirty years ago were the people who uh imposed
- 44:37Speaker 1: apartheid on South Africa, which was brutal towards the black
- 44:42Speaker 1: majority population.
- 44:46Speaker 3: The Africanas were the ones that sustained apartheid in Africa
- 44:52Speaker 3: in South Africa throughout the period of apartheid, and they
- 45:00Speaker 3: were the ones who most resisted, most fought against the
- 45:04Speaker 3: elimination of apotheight In the early nineteen nineties, so you know,
- 45:09Speaker 3: the two groups of Europeans in South Africa. There are
- 45:16Speaker 3: Africanas of primarily Dutch descent, and then there are people
- 45:24Speaker 3: from British descent immigrants from Britain Island Scotland from generally
- 45:29Speaker 3: the UK who emigrated there and settled. And there were
- 45:34Speaker 3: also Jews, and there are other people. But those are
- 45:36Speaker 3: the two groups of dominant groups of whites and generally,
- 45:40Speaker 3: again generally not the exceptions to this rule. Generally, the
- 45:44Speaker 3: Africanas were the ones who supported apartheight and perpetuated it,
- 45:49Speaker 3: and the British. The British were the ones who wanted
- 45:53Speaker 3: to end it and who often fought on the side
- 45:56Speaker 3: of the blacks. My uncle, my uncle is South Africa,
- 46:00Speaker 3: actually went to jail in South Africa for sighting with
- 46:05Speaker 3: the anti apartheid movement and was actually banished from South
- 46:09Speaker 3: Africa and apotheide was kicked out of the country and
- 46:12Speaker 3: had to flee to the United Kingdom. Anyway, I mean, really,
- 46:21Speaker 3: deporting a Chinese dissident back to China is just so evil.
- 46:29Speaker 1: It's just so evil, all right, ago one more.
- 46:39Speaker 3: I mean, I've got a few stories here, but I
- 46:41Speaker 3: just don'tant to remind you all that the show is
- 46:44Speaker 3: supported through listeners and watchers like you. You know, it
- 46:50Speaker 3: can't do the show unless we raise kind of a
- 46:52Speaker 3: minimum amount of money. Every show we have goals two
- 46:58Speaker 3: and fifty dollars an hour.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty dollars an hour is the goal here, and.
- 47:09Speaker 3: We are short of that for the first hour, and
- 47:11Speaker 3: we've only got ten minutes to make up the difference.
- 47:13Speaker 3: So if you can't make up the difference, if you
- 47:15Speaker 3: can support the show, if you'd like to, because you
- 47:18Speaker 3: gain value from the show and you'd like to value

- 48:04Speaker 3: put all that aside, Let's talk about some good stuff
- 48:07Speaker 3: that's happening in the world today.
- 48:08Speaker 1: Because a lot of good stuff is happening. It's pretty amazing.
- 48:12Speaker 1: One of the most heartening trends right now.
- 48:18Speaker 3: With regard to kind of longevity is the fact that
- 48:22Speaker 3: there is a significant decline in the prevalence of dementia.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Right now, at each age, the prevalence of dementia is
- 48:38Speaker 3: down competitive what it was a decade ago.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Today's ninety year olds.
- 48:46Speaker 3: Have less than half the risk of dementia than a
- 48:51Speaker 3: ninety year old had in nineteen eighty four. Now, nobody
- 48:56Speaker 3: knows exactly why this is happening. One could assume people
- 49:02Speaker 3: are living healthier lifestyles, maybe more exercise, maybe people are
- 49:07Speaker 3: eating better. There's also significant evidence, but I haven't seen
- 49:14Speaker 3: I haven't seen the data in terms of when this happened,
- 49:17Speaker 3: that the vaccine against shingles actually reduces the prevalence of
- 49:27Speaker 3: dementia significantly. So maybe that's a new vaccine. Maybe more
- 49:32Speaker 3: people are getting vaccinated. It's a vaccine that is recommended
- 49:35Speaker 3: for anybody over fifty they're no new drugs to dementia.
- 49:40Speaker 3: There's no real new drugs. There's no new pharmaceuticals unfortunately
- 49:46Speaker 3: for dementia. There's still a lot of research being done,
- 49:48Speaker 3: but nothing, no cure, nothing like that. It's much more
- 49:53Speaker 3: likely that it's something else that people are doing, not
- 49:56Speaker 3: in order to prevent their dementia, but just generally that
- 49:59Speaker 3: they are doing, like getting the Zeka vaccine Zekeo god
- 50:04Speaker 3: shingles vaccine, or like like eating better, or maybe maybe
- 50:12Speaker 3: more people are taking a multi vitamin. Maybe turns out
- 50:14Speaker 3: a multi vitamin is good for doing I mean, who knows.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Nobody knows. This is the point. We don't know the
- 50:19Speaker 1: cause of it.
- 50:21Speaker 3: You know.
- 50:21Speaker 1: The speculations again have to do with.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Another you know, the other speculations just speculation that you know,
- 50:33Speaker 3: the there's a high coalation between when statins were introduced.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Statins that drug that low is cholesterol lois your l
- 50:42Speaker 1: d L. There's a high coalation between when statins when
- 50:47Speaker 1: introduced and when this starts being a phenomenon. You know, statin's.
- 50:57Speaker 1: Statins are widely used today, many many, many older.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Americans take statins, and it could very well be that
- 51:07Speaker 3: statins are having some impact on dementia that we don't
- 51:10Speaker 3: understand or we don't know. It could be less saturated
- 51:14Speaker 3: fat in the diet, it's not clear. It could be
- 51:16Speaker 3: more exercise, probably, but it's not clear, but it could
- 51:21Speaker 3: be no difference is saturated fat. But most statns which
- 51:25Speaker 3: would use to LDL, and maybe maybe turns out that
- 51:28Speaker 3: LDL and whatever statins do have an impact on the brain.
- 51:33Speaker 1: No one really knows.
- 51:34Speaker 3: Some other hypotheses, big decline in smoking, big decline in smoking. Right,
- 51:41Speaker 3: people today who are reaching ninety are less likely to
- 51:45Speaker 3: smoke than their lives than people who reached ninety ten
- 51:49Speaker 3: twenty thirty years ago. GP one is too new to
- 51:56Speaker 3: really have an impact, so it's unlikely GP want are
- 51:59Speaker 3: having the impact, although certainly they might still have one.
- 52:03Speaker 1: So the key is nobody knows.
- 52:11Speaker 3: Again, exercise, shingle, vaccines, and it's just looking at things
- 52:14Speaker 3: that people try to explain it as.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Anyway, this is great, this is great news. I mean
- 52:23Speaker 1: it's you have half of a you know, less than
- 52:26Speaker 1: half of a chance of getting dementia today at age
- 52:30Speaker 1: ninety than you did in nineteen eighty four. That's amazing
- 52:35Speaker 1: and we don't even know why. But there's a lot
- 52:41Speaker 1: of stuff like that going on. There's a lot of
- 52:43Speaker 1: just stuff that's happening in the world out there that's
- 52:46Speaker 1: really really positive. Indeed, we've talked about this.
- 52:49Speaker 3: If you look at rates of US deaths by cause
- 52:53Speaker 3: per one hundred thousand, deaths by cause per one hundred
- 52:57Speaker 3: thousand over a twelve month period, every single one, homicide,
- 53:04Speaker 3: traffic accidents, drug overdose, alcohol are all seeing declines, not
- 53:11Speaker 3: quite to you know, stark lows, although homicide is getting
- 53:16Speaker 3: close to the stark clothes but lower than it was
- 53:19Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, where
- 53:24Speaker 3: deaths from everything related to human behavior rose. We're seeing
- 53:31Speaker 3: sharp declines even in drug overdose. Right everybody right now
- 53:35Speaker 3: is the war on fentanol weapon the mass destruction and
- 53:38Speaker 3: yet death some fentonolal declining significantly that back to twenty
- 53:42Speaker 3: nineteen you know levels, and if they continue to decline
- 53:45Speaker 3: at this rate, we might go back to twenty ten
- 53:50Speaker 3: levels where they were way below where they are today.
- 53:55Speaker 3: A bunch of other things that are interesting happening. Oh,
- 53:59Speaker 3: you know, a self driving truck company is expanding its
- 54:03Speaker 3: operations in Texas in twenty twenty six, it plans to
- 54:07Speaker 3: launch a fleet of autonomous trucks to halt sand sand
- 54:11Speaker 3: is used in fracking.
- 54:13Speaker 1: I think the biggest manufacturer.
- 54:16Speaker 3: Of sand for fracking in the Premium basin is called
- 54:20Speaker 3: Atlas Sand, and not by accident Atlas from Atlas Shrugged sand. Anyway,
- 54:28Speaker 3: it plants the Hall to launch a fleet of autonomous
- 54:30Speaker 3: trucks to halt sand used for oil and gas drilling around.
- 54:33Speaker 1: The premium basin.
- 54:35Speaker 3: So autonomous cars, which will mean traffic accidents are going
- 54:39Speaker 3: to plummet. Trucks are responsible for more deaths and more
- 54:44Speaker 3: accidents than ordinary cars.
- 54:51Speaker 1: We have. We've got to overview.
- 54:54Speaker 3: Energy has completed a major engineering milestone, which where they
- 54:59Speaker 3: have successfully.
- 55:00Speaker 1: The energy from a moving aircraft to a ground receiver,
- 55:05Speaker 1: with the next step being to build a solar power.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Station in space and beam their electricity down to Earth.
- 55:16Speaker 3: I think the Japanese have already done that.
- 55:19Speaker 1: Uh. You know, Starlink is ever expanding into more and
- 55:24Speaker 1: more and more and more countries, providing really really cheap
- 55:29Speaker 1: high speed Internet.
- 55:32Speaker 3: On a global scale pretty much everywhere, and I mean
- 55:39Speaker 3: Starlink is in most of these countries, most of these
- 55:42Speaker 3: Third world countries is significantly cheaper than you know, land
- 55:46Speaker 3: based ways in which to receive Internet, so significant increases
- 55:54Speaker 3: in human well being with exposure to that. Talk about
- 55:59Speaker 3: GP ones, Eli Leeley has an experimental obesity drug I
- 56:02Speaker 3: think is also a GP one called retat root tide,
- 56:09Speaker 3: which is performing better than any of the other drugs.
- 56:15Speaker 3: Patients on the highest dose lost nearly twenty nine percent
- 56:18Speaker 3: of their body weight over sixty eight weeks. Across all
- 56:22Speaker 3: treatment participants, average weight loss was about twenty four percent,
- 56:27Speaker 3: So it outperforms all the other gop ones that are
- 56:30Speaker 3: out there. Somebody asked me if I believe in the
- 56:35Speaker 3: moon landing, if you have to ask, we're probably going
- 56:40Speaker 3: to have a problem. I believe in reality and facts
- 56:45Speaker 3: in what really happened. Yeah, here's the study. You know,
- 56:52Speaker 3: as I'm reading this article, here's the study on shingles
- 56:54Speaker 3: and you. Study strengthens the case that shingos vaccine might
- 56:57Speaker 3: lower dementia risk by using an age based role out
- 57:00Speaker 3: in Wales as a neutral experiment, scientists found vaccinated elderly
- 57:04Speaker 3: people who were about twenty percent less likely to develop
- 57:07Speaker 3: dementia over seven years than those just outside outside eligibility cutoff.
- 57:17Speaker 3: So amazing let's see what else, what else do we
- 57:21Speaker 3: have here? Yeah, from a good friend Malay, the bringer
- 57:26Speaker 3: of good news of a good friend Malay. Argentina poverty
- 57:32Speaker 3: rate has fallen into thirty six percent in the third
- 57:35Speaker 3: quart of twenty twenty five, which is roughly nine percentage
- 57:38Speaker 3: points lower than the same period last year. At the
- 57:42Speaker 3: same time as we've got significant lower inflation in.
- 57:48Speaker 1: Argentina. So good things are still happening even at the
- 57:52Speaker 1: political level Milay, economic level, Milay, and uh h.
- 58:01Speaker 3: Science and technology continues to advance. You know, the Enlightenment
- 58:06Speaker 3: doesn't isn't just fading in, going away. The Enlightenment is
- 58:12Speaker 3: continuing to enhance human life. It's not gonna just disappear.
- 58:17Speaker 3: It's gonna fight. It's gonna fight the anti Enlightenment forces
- 58:21Speaker 3: that exist out there.
- 58:22Speaker 1: Now.
- 58:23Speaker 3: It won't fight them explicity because it doesn't have the
- 58:24Speaker 3: philosophy to do it, but it will fight in instead
- 58:27Speaker 3: of producing continuing to produce human progress. So really, there
- 58:41Speaker 3: you go. All right, let's see, all right, that is
- 59:04Speaker 3: the news for December sixteenth, twenty twenty five. Thank you

- 1:06:09Speaker 3: even larger and even more significant than we have being
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: So thank you guys. All right, let's jump in with
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: with our with our super chat. Quite a few twenty
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: dollars questions have come in basically at our first hour goal,
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: but we still have to, you know, get into that
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: second hour goal in a more significant way. All right,
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: David asks, did your kids have a Bamtza? Well, given
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: everything that I said about Judaism, about not considering myself
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: a Jew, about not raising my kids to be Jewish,
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: the answer to that is no, it was never on
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: the table. It was never considered. My wife and I
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: never even thought of the possibility.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: Of giving them doing about mitzvrah my kids.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever been to synagogue, maybe for
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: a wedding somebody's wedding, but they've never been a synagogue
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: cross synagogue, so absolutely no, there was no no boy Mitzvra.
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: David Osso asked, is there much anti Semitism Puerto Rico?
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: So I think there is, but none that I've directly observed.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: You know what.
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: I will say that when I first moved here, there
- 1:07:31Speaker 3: was an article in the local newspaper. This is twenty eighteen,
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: this is the island's trying to recover from Maria. And
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: there's an article in the newspaper, a ad basically blaming
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: the Jews and Jewish money for keeping Puerto Rico poor
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: and not allowing it to recover from Maria. And it
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: was published in the major newspaper here. So that was
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: kind of shocking and surprising.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: There were a few.
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: Programas anti Israel demonstrations during the one gozap but not much,
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: nothing significant. So overall, I'd say it's here on an
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: island in certain places.
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: But.
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: Nothing that I've really really noticed firsthand.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: I mean, David says that he lives in Costa Rica.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: He says, I have a lot of there's a lot
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: of anti Semitism here, but it's all very low key,
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: mostly Catholic ideology. I mean, you know, Puerto Rico's Catholic
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: as well, so Catholic ideology is strong here, and I
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: think it's the same kind of low key and there
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: is among them more intellectuals that kind of Yeah, the
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: Jews kind of control finance, they control the world. They
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: don't like us, you know, that kind of attitude I
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: think really does exist. Okay, they it says, is it
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: possible that the US is moving towards a new alliance
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: structure in the Middle East that doesn't include Israel. Look,
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: it certainly looks that way, or at least it is
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: creating an option for them to exclude Israel.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: And I don't think Trump will do it. I think
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Trump generally.
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: And it's going to be difficult for any Republican to
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: do it because there is a segment of the Republican
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: Party that is very pro Israel, the kind of evangelical
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: Christians that are pro Israel that Techa is constantly attacking.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: So it's possible there at least creating a situation when
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: that becomes easier for them to do. And if somebody
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: like JD. Vance gets elected, then who knows. I think
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: all bets off the table, because I don't think Jady
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: Vance is pro Israel at all. I think he would
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: turn against Israel on a dime. I think he's pro Kato,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: like you know, he follows his mental Tucker Calson. Now,
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: on the other hand, Marco Rubio is pro Israel. There
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: are others, so there would be this contest within the GOP.
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: I'm not sure who wins out, but I think this
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: administration is basically playing it so that they have they
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: can go either way. They can go anyway they want
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: in the future. David says, thank you, David. These all
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: David same. David questions, assuming Russia is an enemy of
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: the US advance and his accolades traders, Well.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: If you really define Russia as an enemy, then supporting
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: the enemy, appraising the enemy, advocating the enemy's case is treason.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: In that sense, it's treason US.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: I don't think you'd get anybody in the United States
- 1:10:47Speaker 3: to advocate for that, because nobody in US wants to
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: declare Russian enemy, partially because the cowards, and partially because
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: they have nukes, and partially because they don't believe that
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: the enemy. They believe that friend fundamentally. David says, I
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: would vote for Marco Rubio. I would not, now, you know,
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: depends what the option is, but I would not primarily
- 1:11:12Speaker 3: because he sold himself to the devil, and which suggests
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: to me he will do anything. He will sell himself
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: to anybody, He will advocate for anything. So I don't
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: think anybody who who's serving in this administration is supposed
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: to be president. I think they're better candidates out there.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: But yeah, I can see circumstances why i'd vote for
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: him where I would never vote for Jit Evans David Again,
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: is there any reason beyond hatred of non whites for
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: accepting Africana immigrants? You know, the claim is there are
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: the same culture as ours, the same culture as white
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: Southerners of the nineteen fifties who strongly believed in Jim
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: Crow laws. If that's what you want to import into
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: the United States. I mean, is there any I have
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: no doubt that many Africana, it's not all, many Afrikaners
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: would want to reinstate apothed if they could. So, you know,
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: the only argument is that culturally more tuned to us
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: because they're white and they're originally European. But no, there
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: is no other reason. There's no other reason the claim
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: is there's a genocide against whites in South Africa. There
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: is no genocide against whites and South Africa. Not to
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: say there's no violence against whites in South Africa there is.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: Not to say there's no the government there is not
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: anti whites. They are, but there's no genocide. I mean,
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: you start emptying the concept down. I actually have an
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: incentive to know this. You know I have I still
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: have family in South Africa.
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: I have to figure out who I have.
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: I have an uncle and an aunt, no sorry, two
- 1:13:03Speaker 3: uncles and two aunts. Both my father's brothers still live
- 1:13:09Speaker 3: in South Africa with their wives. As a consequence, I
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: have several first cousins in South Africa, and then beyond that,
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: I have a variety of second and third cousins and
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: all kinds of relatives from different sides of my mother's
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: family and my father's family. Both my parents were born.
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: In South Africa. I have been in South Africa.
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: I was in South Africa as a child, and I
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: was in Southrica twice as an adult.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: During a potheight. I know what a potheight is.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: That's why I can tell you Israel there's no poth
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: height in Israel because I actually know what a potheight is.
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: I've witnessed it. I've experienced it. I've seen it, and
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: I've also lived in Israel experienced it and seen it,
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: so I can tell you exactly. But so no, there's
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: no why genocide going on in South Afica. But that's
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: the claim they're saving these people from geneside. I find
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: myself arguing with people about things that I actually I
- 1:14:15Speaker 3: mean not to boast, but reality I actually have first time.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Experience with I've actually lived through. I've actually been.
- 1:14:25Speaker 3: To places, you know, been to a lot of places
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: in the world, and they have usually not left the
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: town that they were born in that some of them
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: have not left their mother's basement. They basically have gone
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: no way, see nothing, experience nothing, know nothing. They don't
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: know history. They really don't know stuff. But they have
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: suddenty because they saw YouTube video. They have suddeny because
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: their friend told them something. They have suddenly because Techer
- 1:14:58Speaker 3: Crosson mentioned it in a part. Asked, uh, it's it's
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: stunning to me. Stunning to me, all right, newly, Dan,
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: I just read from the Missing Link about the anti
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: conceptual who go by memorizing rules of behavior rather than
- 1:15:26Speaker 3: think of principles. Yes, friends say I must tip twenty
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: percent for meals. How would you make this from a
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: rule to a principle. Well, I don't think it's a
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: rule or principle.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: I mean.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: Some people take it as I don't think. I don't
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: think it's a principal.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: Principle has to be an abstraction that is a concrete
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: it's a concrete kind of rule of behavior, if you
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: take it.
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: As a rule. I don't take it as a rule.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: I take it as a suggestion that sometimes I embrace
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: and sometimes I don't like my waiter in the restaurant
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: I'm going to tonight. Tonight because it's just before Christmas,
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: is going to get well, maybe not times because I'm
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: going again, going again, but it's going to get a
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: much bigger tip than twenty percent. You know, he's my
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: regular weight at this restaurant all year round. He's incredibly
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: friendly and knowledgeable, and we get amazing service and they.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: Go out of their way to treat us well.
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna get a good tip, you know,
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: other ways you know will get less if this sucks
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: and seems to be you know, given that they given
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: that waters in America get low wages because they keep
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: expensive expected twenty percent seems to be a reasonattle better amount,
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: you know, given it, given where the wages up.
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: But you get to decide. You tip what you want.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: It's not a rul. It's not a principle. I mean,
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: some people viewed as a wool, but it's not a wool.
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: You can tip last, you can tap a lot more.
- 1:17:12Speaker 3: You can do what you want. Principal is something abstract.
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, that's principal. Yeah, Thomas happy. Beethoven's birthday,
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: actually probably his baptism day, but who cares. What's your
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: favorite recording of the seventh?
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Oh God? Well, first, I'll.
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: Say that on Saturday, to celebrate Beethoven's birthday, my wife
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: and I went to see the Puerto Weecan Symphony Orchestra
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: performed Beethoven's fifth and you might say perto week in
- 1:17:55Speaker 3: Syphniy Orchestra. They were good, and they had this unconductor
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: from I guess he conducts a work strain in a
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: long beach.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: He's Italian and he was fantastic.
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: First of all, because i'd heard the fifth a few
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: weeks ago in Austin, and the performance was okay, it
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: was good, but it was it was okay.
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: This performance blew me out of the water. It was excellent.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: It had the kind of tempo that I think the
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: fifth deserves. Fast.
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: It was a Tuscanini for those of you who know
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: who he was tempo. It had the power, the thrust,
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: the drama the Beethoven deserves.
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: And it was it was just and and the orchestra
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: was great. Right, this is Puerto Rico, and yet the
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: orchestra is very good. And it excelled I thought with
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: Beto Win's fight fifth. So it was it was amazing.
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Uh really enjoyed it. So yeah, go listen to some Beethoven.
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: Thank you for reminding me today's his birthday. I forgot
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: my favorite recording of the seventh. Well, I mean, you know,
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: you know me, I have pretty much particularly for Bethoven.
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: Tuscanini is is my my favorite performances of pretty much
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: all the Beethoven symphonies. I love his seventh again. It
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: has it has that Tuscanini tempo. It it it's much
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: faster than how most people do Beethoven, which which I
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: think is which I like, which I think fits in
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: my understanding of my emotional response to Beethoven. So I
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: love I love his I guess it's the NBC. But
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: he did a number of seventh I think there's a
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: seventh with one of the British showcustras, but I can't remember.
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: But the problem with Tuscanini is there's this a New
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: York Philharmonic. That's right, there's a New York Film Monic,
- 1:20:03Speaker 3: you know, performance of the seventh when that's when he
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: was at his peak. Problem with all the Siscanini performances is,
- 1:20:11Speaker 3: of course that the recordings just suck. I mean, the
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: recordings are old, the acoustics are not very good. It
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: you know, you can enjoy the music if you know
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: the piece really well. The New York Philharmonic, Thomas tells
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: us it is nineteen thirty six, that's right, which he
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: wasn't peak because he peaked really in the in the
- 1:20:31Speaker 3: nineteen thirties, in early nineteen forties.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: And so. But the recording, of course, technology was very poor.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: My famous modern fifth seventh, sorry seventh, but it's also
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: the same record has the fifth on it is it's
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: not that modern, but it's modern era.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: It's it's at least it's at least it was recorded stereo.
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: Is colors Kliber colors Kliber And is it the Berlin
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: Philharmonic or the Vienna Philomonic.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: Wine of Philharmonic. I forget Thomas.
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: The Kliber performance Vienna is just I think it's magnificent.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: One of the best records.
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: I know that the the the the sound quality is fantastic,
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: his pacing is fantastic. The power what he brings out
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: of that audience, it's a it's a you know, it's
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: like it's a Central European orchestra, so they've got those
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: string sections down, they know how to do it right.
- 1:21:42Speaker 3: And that's my favorite, you know, of of the modern recording.
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: So other than you know, the Tuscanini, that would be
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: my favorite recording.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: It's and and the fifth there is fantastic, although I
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: should listen to the fifth The call is Kliber fifth
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: again now that I've just heard the Puerto Rican Philharmony,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: just just because I was so excited by it, just
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: to kind of objectivity, say just to o O on me.
- 1:22:10Speaker 3: One of the one of the greatest conductors, one of
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: the greatest symphonies, one of the greatest orchestras ever, versus the.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: Puerto Rican Philharmony. But I'd like to see actually the difference.
- 1:22:21Speaker 3: But yeah, uh that would be I'm curious what yours is, Thomas,
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: what is your I don't know what's your favorite symphony
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: of Beethoven's and what's your favorite requoting. So I'm throwing
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: the question back to Thomas shoe Bottom, who is a
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: conductor a classical music and.
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: Opera and ballet.
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: He's conducting the nut Cracker, He's and uh, he's a
- 1:22:44Speaker 3: he's a conductor, so uh, I'm curious.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: He knows he knows music. So I'm curious what your
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: favorite Beethoven is and what's your favorite performances? All right,
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: I'm I'm watching the chat to get that. Oh is
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: this okay? Urica?
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: And yes, sell with Cleveland. Yeah we agree on that.
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: I mean selling Cleveland again. All of his Beethovens are phenomenal,
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: all of his Bethavens a phenomenal. That generation of conductors,
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: we're just truly amazing. But in the Cleveland Orchestra was
- 1:23:21Speaker 3: a phenomenal orchestra in those days.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: So yes, So.
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: He's a Beethoven third guy, I'm a Bethaven seven guy.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Where do you stand? All right? Milko.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: Milko is nominated for the Modena Citizen of twenty twenty five,
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: which is pretty amazing, right, cool, but racing against politically
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: correct people, fighting more and more promoting reason and reality. Here,
- 1:23:53Speaker 3: thanks for helping my friend. Oh, thank you, Milko, and
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: keep up the fight, Keep up the fight.
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: It's testing. By the way, those of you who don't
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: listen to classical music, you should start.
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: You should just start. And Betain is not a bad
- 1:24:09Speaker 3: place to start. You should start Beto Win's third, fifth, sixth, seventh,
- 1:24:14Speaker 3: and ninth, not to mention Violin concurtdo third, fourth, and
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: fifth piano concertos and everything in between, and all the
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: chamber of music and everything.
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: I mean, just stunning. The emotional content, the emotional experience
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: you will have from listening to that music is unlike
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: anything And suddenly you cannot get that from anything in
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: modern music.
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care what Yeah Thomas says.
- 1:24:44Speaker 3: He could go on for hours, you know he could,
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: I don't care.
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: Who you like in popular music or rock or heavy
- 1:24:53Speaker 3: rock or metal or whatever, nothing kinpes close to the
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: experience that you can get if you tru immerse yourself
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: in it. From classical music, in particular my favorite, which
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: is Betain. Okay, And how can you say Christianity is
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: a bigger threat in Islam? Oh God, I keep getting
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: this question over and over and over and over again.
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: But don't want restrictions on Christian immigrations from Central South
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: America because Christianity is an intellectual threat. Christianity is going
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: to have to make its argument. It is not yet
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: at the point Christianity where it is going to use
- 1:25:35Speaker 3: force against me. When it is, and if the people
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: coming in from southern Latin America are militant Christians, then yeah,
- 1:25:45Speaker 3: I want to stop them. Muslims want to use force now,
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: and therefore they need to be stopped now. And one
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: of the things I've said over and over again is
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: that it appears in the West right now that the
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: only thing that's going to stop the Muslims from using
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: force is the Christians using even more force. But that's
- 1:26:12Speaker 3: not the Central and South American Christians. I'm talking about
- 1:26:15Speaker 3: the Germans, and you know, and maybe the French, who knows,
- 1:26:19Speaker 3: but certainly the Germans and other Central.
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: Europeans and maybe Northern Europeans.
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: But you know, there's no threat in the United states,
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: the threat of Christianity is an intellectual threat. Then still
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: not at the point where they are pulling out guns.
- 1:26:36Speaker 3: And I think the Christians coming in from Central and
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: South America are the least of our problems. It's the
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: heritage Americans who are the threat, who are dangerous. Cooks
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: says Detroit basketball. Did Detroit beat the Celtics yesterday?
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Is that why I'm seeing? If they did, that's too bad?
- 1:27:06Speaker 3: All right, Michael, I'm seeing a lot of conservatives turning
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: on Trump over his disgusting tweet about Ryan is death. Yes,
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: but it will be temporary.
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: They'll be back. They'll be back in line.
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: Praising everything Trump does within hours, if not within days,
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: or within days.
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: If not within hours, you should say.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: Michael, what is the distinction between rationality and objectivity? I mean,
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: there's a sense in which they're capturing something very similar.
- 1:27:40Speaker 3: That is, they're capturing the role of the mind in
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: a comprehending reality, the relationship between human consciousness and metaphysical
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: existence existence out there.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: Uh. Objectivity is the is the method by which one
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: is rational? That is it. It captures there.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: I think that's the right formulation, But anyway, captures the
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: relationship between or you know, the the use.
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: Of the mind in order to capture reality.
- 1:28:16Speaker 3: But they're all they're describing a similar phenomena from a
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: different perspective and answering a different question.
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: Right. Objectivity tells us that the.
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: That the that what we observe is the consciousness, the
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: consciousness acting. It's not passive consciousness acting on the evidence
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: provided by our senses of what's in reality itself. Rationality
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: is much water. Rationality is also how we deal with abstractions, uh,
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: and and do abstractions from abstractions. Rationality is the whole
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: mental all the mental processes which we engage in being objective,
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: that is, making sure one is.
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: Only accepting facts.
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: Not emotion opinion uh uh uh on substantiate opinion uh,
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: feelings uh, intuition and whatever. That you're not being subjective,
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: and that you an objectivity recognizes that the fact that
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: you cannot be passive.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: Reality doesn't just imprint itself on you. Subjectivity, you know,
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: recognize that you have to be active in discovering the
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: truth and that it has to be focused on the
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: facts on reality.
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: And that's all part of rationality. But rationality is a
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: lot more than that. Good question for a philosopher when
- 1:29:54Speaker 3: they come to the show.
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: Uh, Michael.
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: Hate speech laws increase Islamist terrorism, shutting down discourse.
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: They are used against you.
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean h speech laws are primarily used in
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: Europe to silence people criticizing Islam. That's their primary use today.
- 1:30:15Speaker 3: So they're used against me totally, not Scott.
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: Oh. I like that handle. I like that handle. Is
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: it a good time for coalition building? Maybe it is? God.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: Now I'm suspicious with whom, with whom? Who would we
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: form a coalition and for what right?
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: And man said you're going to form a coalition has
- 1:30:39Speaker 3: to be for something relatively narrow. Who would we form
- 1:30:43Speaker 3: a coalition with and for what purpose? You know, we
- 1:30:46Speaker 3: can form a coalition with a bunch of economists are
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: on tariffs. We can form a coalition with a bunch
- 1:30:54Speaker 3: of I don't know, Jewish organizations and pro Israel people
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: around Israel. We can form a coalition of anti Trump
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: ideas with the anti trumpists, never trump Ists.
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: But who else?
- 1:31:12Speaker 3: There is no broad coalition because there's nothing you can
- 1:31:15Speaker 3: you know, maybe we can form a coalition with somebody
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: like Stephen Pinka around advocacy for reason and rationality, But
- 1:31:26Speaker 3: what else. What do you guys think, Do you think
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: totally not Scott is indeed Scott? This is going to
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: be a big mystery now, a really big mystery like
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: number sixty one. Does Trump want to give more than
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: Putin's asking? No, Trump doesn't want anything. Trump wants the
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: fighting to stop and for him to be able to
- 1:31:53Speaker 3: take credit for it.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: He doesn't care one way or the other.
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: Trump is willing to give Putin what he is asking
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: with the full knowledge that longer term that means more war,
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: that means Putin trying to take much more. That is,
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: Trump is quite willing to get put In what he
- 1:32:15Speaker 3: wants in order to get some short term peace and quiet.
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: Maybe Trump will kind of deal with Putin. I'll give
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: you what you want, just don't start another war until
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: I'm out of office, and then we can blame whoever
- 1:32:27Speaker 3: the new president is. I think that's a completely reasonable
- 1:32:31Speaker 3: thing to believe that Trump is actually doing. I don't
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: consider that a conspiracy. I consider that quite legit. Ziras
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: in his naivete or his fund is saying it can't
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: be Scott. It says totally not Scott, right, and Scott
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: would never lie. Michael, what does the Republican Party look
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: like after the fall of Mega, Will they take a
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: Malay approach? No, there's nobody, nobody in the Republican Party
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: with a Malay attitude, with a Malay point of view,
- 1:33:13Speaker 3: with a Malay perspective. So I don't know what it's
- 1:33:16Speaker 3: going to look like, but one thing is for sure,
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: it will not be.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: A Malay approach.
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: There's just nobody even close to leadership with that kind
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: of attitude, that kind of perspective.
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: Lincoln.
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: If gop one pill is approved, it could be the
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: greatest improvement in human health in years. Not being overweight
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: adds a decade to lifespan.
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: Yes, but it turns.
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: Out that gop one is not only good for weight loss.
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: It's independent of the weight loss or controlling for weight loss.
- 1:33:48Speaker 3: It's actually good for things like diabetes and heart disease
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: above and beyond the weight loss benefits.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: So yes, gop one has the.
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: Potential to reallymatically improve life span and and and you know,
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: the quality of life and the length of life dramatically.
- 1:34:08Speaker 3: It's it's very exciting, and it was when it's when
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: you don't have to do an injection, that'll make a
- 1:34:13Speaker 3: huge difference. It'll become much more popular and much more available.
- 1:34:18Speaker 3: Jennifer says, there's a video of a group playing Ninth
- 1:34:21Speaker 3: Symphony in the street. People stop to listen and through
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: open their windows. It was somewhere in Europe.
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: Yeah, videos like that. I've seen videos like that.
- 1:34:29Speaker 3: Not of the Ninth, but otherwise they're always fun and
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: it's great to see people's response and the look.
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: On their face and everything else. It's it's fantastic. Raphael
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: YouTube twenty twenty five recap says, I mean your top
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: point one percent with five hundred and twenty two videos
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: watched from your channel. God, you watch five hundred and
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: twenty two of my videos this year, that's pretty amazing.
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you guys all should let me know what
- 1:35:02Speaker 3: your rank is in terms of watching videos from my channel.
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: But that's that's pretty amazing. No matter how many of
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: you are in the point one percent, that would be interesting.
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: And you have to do, god, five and twenty two videos,
- 1:35:19Speaker 3: that's a lot, that's too.
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: That's almost to a day.
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: Jennifer watches all the live ones, but this can't be
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: all the live ones. This much include shorts and all
- 1:35:33Speaker 3: kinds of other videos and lectures. Yeah, you can check
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: on YouTube. On your profile, you can check your twenty
- 1:35:45Speaker 3: twenty five round up Lincoln giving you a relative poverty
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: when you had kids in your youth. Is it rational
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: to have kids in your twenties even if you had
- 1:35:57Speaker 3: money or you are not mature enough? Well, I mean
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: it depends, right, some people are mature enough and some
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: people are not. We had kids in our late twenties.
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: We thought we were mature enough. I think we were,
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: so we had them. Money was not a consideration. We
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: knew we would survive one way or the other. Again,
- 1:36:18Speaker 3: we were poor, and we were fine. I mean when
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I mean the biggest expense when my
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: kids were born, My first child was born, biggest monthly
- 1:36:28Speaker 3: expense because we get track of every dollar we spent
- 1:36:30Speaker 3: in those days. We still do. It's a habit that
- 1:36:33Speaker 3: I haven't shaken. The biggest monthly expense we had was diapers.
- 1:36:40Speaker 3: That was the biggest monthly expense we had. So that
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: was I think more than rent and more than and
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: more than and we When first Sun was born, we
- 1:36:51Speaker 3: lived in a hullable apartment. Then we after a year,
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: we moved to a nicer apartment. But yeah, it was I
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: wouldn't say it was hard. We managed fine, but yeah,
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: you have to make the evaluation of whether you're mature
- 1:37:04Speaker 3: enough yourself. But I don't think money, I mean depends
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: on how you are used to living and what you expect.
- 1:37:12Speaker 3: You know, if you go out of restaurants a lot,
- 1:37:14Speaker 3: and you like to travel and stuff like that. Yeah,
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: I mean, maybe you shouldn't have kids in your twenties,
- 1:37:20Speaker 3: but we want We were hunkered down in Austin, Texas.
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: We didn't go anywhere.
- 1:37:24Speaker 3: We didn't go out to eat, we didn't go into
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: a concert was a big deal, you know. We did
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: very rarely went to concerts. Yeah, we just we just
- 1:37:35Speaker 3: stayed home. And you know, we managed with kids. That's
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: why all this complaining about people not having money and
- 1:37:43Speaker 3: stuff it does, you know, and poor generations. Ze and
- 1:37:47Speaker 3: I and I look at how I lived, and I
- 1:37:49Speaker 3: look at how they lived, and give me a break,
- 1:37:53Speaker 3: Give me a break.
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: Hunter, Hunter.
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: I was active duty military for a while and I
- 1:37:58Speaker 3: left a couple of years ago. I've can instead of
- 1:38:00Speaker 3: rejoining the reserves in a few years when I'm feeling
- 1:38:03Speaker 3: uneasy about it given our farm policy thoughts. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: I would definitely feel uneasy about joining the military given
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: pharm policy, I mean, given the morons, and I'm being generous,
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: the emodel morons who run our pharm policy and run
- 1:38:24Speaker 3: out Department of War, and you know you are they.
- 1:38:30Speaker 3: You know, when you go into the military, you basically
- 1:38:32Speaker 3: have to follow orders and the orders of being given
- 1:38:35Speaker 3: by people that I wouldn't take a job with. I
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: wouldn't want to be their employees. I wouldn't want to
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: hang out with them at a you know, at a restaurant.
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: I wouldn't't have anything.
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: To do with them. Why would I want to give
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: them control over my life to the extent that they
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: have it, which is very large.
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: In in you know, in the military. Yeah, I completely
- 1:39:01Speaker 3: understand the unease. On the one hand, you want to
- 1:39:04Speaker 3: you want to fight for your country, and the country
- 1:39:07Speaker 3: is still worth fighting for. On the other hand, God,
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: the people in command are so anti human. Milko and
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: Tomorrow unveiling the impossible plane, an aircraft flyable.
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: Only using only the feet.
- 1:39:25Speaker 3: Marvelous engineering, the first in history. Oh exciting, It'll be
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: fun flying only with the feet. I can't even imagine
- 1:39:35Speaker 3: you're wearing shoes on a hut. I can't even imagine
- 1:39:39Speaker 3: how that works. You should send me a photo, I'm curious,
- 1:39:43Speaker 3: or video even better, Lincoln says, restaurant recommendation.
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: Vaulters Bestrow in Salt Lake City. Vaulters with the v
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: Bestrow in Salt Lake City. Thank you, Lincoln moon Rock.
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: Do you think Ben Shapiro is a sellout coward or
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: maybe attempting to steer the irrationality of trump Ism to
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: something at least mos sane.
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: I think he's a coward. I think he's a coward.
- 1:40:14Speaker 3: I think he knows exactly how bad Trump is, but
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: he knows, or he knew that if he went against Trump,
- 1:40:22Speaker 3: he would lose his whole financial base, the whole base.
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: And he rationalizes it right. He rationalizes it as I'm
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: doing more good, I'm steering, I'm providing a backstop, or whatever.
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:40:34Speaker 3: I'm sure there are lots of rationalization going on on
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: why it's okay what he's doing.
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: But I think ultimately is a coward. Soupy Dubie Man
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: by my family quote.
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: I agree that communism destroys man's life, but whether that
- 1:40:52Speaker 3: destruction is good or bad is just opinion. What is
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: wrong with this? Can one engage with it? If so,
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: how well ask him what good and bad mean? What
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: does good or bad mean? And you cannot have good
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: or bad without asking the question good for whom?
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: And for what?
- 1:41:13Speaker 3: And what does it even mean to say there's good
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: for that? Communism provides for whom for the imaginary politarian,
- 1:41:25Speaker 3: but it's not clear they have any good either. Good
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: for Yeah, I mean who is it good for? And
- 1:41:33Speaker 3: try to move in the direction of isn't good or bad?
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: That which is that which is good is good for
- 1:41:40Speaker 1: human life, that is that for whom, it's for human life,
- 1:41:46Speaker 1: that is, it's for what is for life, good for
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: life and human life.
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: And if you try to move in that direction and
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: see that, and once you see that, then it's obvious
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: communism is evil and bad.
- 1:41:59Speaker 1: Whether it.
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: Whether you can engage with that or not really depends
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: on him and how.
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: We respond to that question.
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: Hookey one on how do we fix the Libertarian Party
- 1:42:12Speaker 3: US say the ups turning post liberal DNC socialist garbage. Ulp,
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: he has no political skill. What Pea's problem is not
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: political skill. Lpie's problem is an absolute, thoroughly systematically unimprovable,
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: unimprovable political philosophy or political ideology. The Libertarian Party is
- 1:42:43Speaker 3: inherently corrupt. It's been corrupt since it's founding. It's not
- 1:42:48Speaker 3: an initial of political skill. It's an issue of awful ideas,
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: anti American ideas, anti freedom ideas, from anarchy to hatred
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: of a America in world affairs to things like hatred
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: of Israel. Because it's an actual functioning state, it is
- 1:43:09Speaker 3: it's successfool of the worst kind of people. So the
- 1:43:15Speaker 3: only way to fix anything is to abandon to You know,
- 1:43:20Speaker 3: the Libertarian Party needs to put be put under the acid,
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: needs to be eliminated. It needs to be closed down,
- 1:43:26Speaker 3: shut down, and the keys thrown away. And somebody needs
- 1:43:29Speaker 3: to start from scratch with good ideas, with a proper philosophy,
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: with even if it's just political philosophy, with a political philosophy,
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: and it needs to explicitly exclude the anti liberty, anti
- 1:43:45Speaker 3: freedom anarchists. For that, you need a complete, a new
- 1:43:50Speaker 3: political party with new completing new leadership and completing new attitude,
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: completing new perspective. The existing political the existing Libertarian Party
- 1:43:59Speaker 3: needs to be done away with, done away with completely. Yeah,
- 1:44:11Speaker 3: can't stand the Libertarian Party and the people involved in
- 1:44:14Speaker 3: it just horrible always has me since it.
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: Was founded by you know, horrible mamby Weth Blood.
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: So it's not better than the gop of DNC, it's
- 1:44:28Speaker 3: worse than the GOPO DNC. There's no political party worse
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: in America than the Libertarian Party.
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: Because it gives such a bad name to capitalism.
- 1:44:39Speaker 3: And anarchy is worse than socialism, and anarchy is certainly
- 1:44:44Speaker 3: worse than.
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: The mixed economy.
- 1:44:47Speaker 3: I'll take the mixed economy over anarchy any day. So
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: my perspective is no Libertarian Party is really, really, really bad. Yeah,
- 1:45:01Speaker 3: And the third world ism is do you want America
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: to be third world? That's what they want ultimately, that's
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: what they want to create.
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: Ultimately, I'd rather have a mixed economy. I'd rather live
- 1:45:12Speaker 1: with what we have. All right, guys.
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: That is it for today, Tuesday, December sixteenth. I will
- 1:45:20Speaker 3: see you maybe tomorrow suddenly on Thursday and Friday. I
- 1:45:24Speaker 3: have a great rest of you week by everybody,
