• 1:37
  Speaker 1: or at least view that as as a virtue. All right, yeah, yeah, answers.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Eight topics, that's right, eight topics. That's not pretty quick,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: just kind of update you because I know some of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you don't listen to the news, don't read newspapers, don't
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: watch television news. You get all your news from here.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So some of this is just quick updates. Some of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it is more in depth. We will see. Let's start
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: with Ukraine. So last week it was revealed that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Putin loving put In loving with Koff.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Witkoff, who is a god, real piece of work. As
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: somebody who met Putin and told Tucker Carlson earlier this year,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I like him. I thought he was straight up with me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I don't regard him as a bad guy. This is Putin,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the guy who kills his opponents, poisons people, kills his
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: political poisons, have Russians falling out of windows constantly. This
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is the guy kills journalists and has been engaged in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a war in Europe, first ground war, really major war
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in Europe since World War Two. Since twenty fourteen, has
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: been engaged in war with Ukraine. That putin the authoritarian
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thought putin the dictator of Russia putin that putin Witcoff Bright,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, real estates another real estate developer. Bright, real
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: estate developer, says it does not regard him as a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: bad guy. I'm curious. I'm just curious, just asking questions,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm doing. I wonder who Witcoff considers a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: bad guy. Who does Witcof consider.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: A bad guy? That would be interesting. Who doesn't he like?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Probably people I like, and probably people I think are
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: good guys, would be my guess. Anyway, Witcoff and one
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of the aids to President Putin spent some time in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Miami over the last few weeks and wrote up a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: twenty eight point peace plan. A twenty eight point peace plan.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It basically gives Russia almost everything it wants. It gives
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: us all of the donbas. It gives them a cap
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on the size of Ukrainian military. It gives them Ukraine
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: never joining NATO again. It gives them all the land
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that they've occupied since twenty fourteen, It becomes Russian. Ukulin
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: gives it up. It gives them a great stagy ground
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for the next assault sometime in the future in Ukraine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It basically, you know, Russia gets everything except the only
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: thing that actually gave in this proposal was a very
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: ambiguous week unspecified security guarantee by the United States and Europe,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a security guarantee that, by the way, the United States
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gave Ukraine. And it was in nineteen eighty four when
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Ukraine gave up it's nuclear missiles. So we all know
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what security guarantees are worth. So this is the planet
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Widcoff and the Russian came up with twenty eight points.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight points. Basically, it is a surrendered document for Ukraine.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And it was made public last week and presented to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the Ukrainians last week, and it was all done in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a very rushed, quick manner, and it was leaked very quickly.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: And of course President Trump came out and said, oh,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I agree completely, this is great, and I demanded Zelensky
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: applied to this by thanks Evning basically as Zelensky freaked out,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: basically went on the Ukrainian TV saying, this is a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: tough decision we the Ukrainian people will have to make.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's you know, this is our allies abandoning us. Basically,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Trump said, if you don't agree to this, we will
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: stop supporting you and and potentially release Russia from sanctions.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: H So, you know, that was Friday, and Trump came
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: out with one of his two social social you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you call it when you throw
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: up on paper anyway, and basically said, you know, blame
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Ukraine for studying the war. Uh and and uh and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and when after the Ukrainians. I mean, he never says
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and it's stunning. Historians will write about this, and they
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: will be shocked by the fact that Americans just rolled
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and just went along with this. Trump never says a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: bad word about Putin. Never williams Putin for the aggression,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: never playing Putin for anything. Putin is the good guy
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: or in. Let's see, I've got Tucker Couson's quote. Tucker
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Couson said, you know, when he was talking to Michael Knowles,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and Michael Knowles had a good chuckle about this. Didn't disagree.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not moving to Russia. But Putin has been the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: most effective leader in my lifetime. Effective. Russians are poor,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the country is, you know, staggeringly.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: In a horrible situation.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Over one point five million young Russians have been either
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: maimed or killed on a battlefield.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: What else has happened? Did I say Russia was poor?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The stand of living has been declining, quality of life
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: is horrible.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Poland is so much richer than Russia.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Czech Republic is so much richer than USh on a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: per capita basis effective effective at what at stealing from
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: his country? Put in his billions and billion, one hundreds
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of billions, probably in a bank account in Switzerland. He
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: has been effective at one man rule. He's been effective
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: at destroying his country. He's been effective at killing its youth.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He's been effective at getting the most talented Russias to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: leave the country.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: He's been effective.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, Tucka has to be the most dishonest, disgusting
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: commentator out there, because I mean he's doing for into
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: at Candice own. But yeah, but he was somethings a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: while ago. He used to be something. So he says
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be Russia with Putin has been the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: most effective leader in my lifetime. Why is he more
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: evil than Joe Biden? Maybe because he started one and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: killed a lot of people and destroyed his own economy
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and destroyed his own people. And then he says, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: can't even conceptualize that. Conceptualize is a big word for Tucker.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you quite understand what said, understands
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: what that means.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But I believe him when he.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Can't conceptual conceptualize that, because this one is so easy
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that the only way you can't conceptualize it is if
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you've created a massive lie with massive rationalizations to try
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to prevent you from actually seeing right in front of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: your face the truth. So Witcuff likes Putin. Tucker Couson
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: like Putin, and and maybe Putin's biggest fan is Donald Trump.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And so Donald Trump, you know, blames Ukraine, blames everybody else,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: lashes out of the Ukrainians. It's all their fault. Of course,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Putin has rebuffed him over and over and over and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: over again, and once in a while he kind of
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: gets angry, and then he remembers that he really loves
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Putin and they really have this romance going. And Putin
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: has nukes, and Putin's strong, and Putin runs a big country,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: bigger than the United States. That has to count for something,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, geographically bigger than the United States, and he
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: remembers that. Yeah, I mean his real friends of Putin
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Kshi and and and that monster from from from North Korea,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and he remembers that, and I think guess he calms
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: down and he remembers the Zelenski short and doesn't wear suits,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and his country's pathetic, it's insignificant. And yeah, he's got
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to take Putin's sight because Putin's but his butt. Putin's
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: his buddy. I mean, at the end of the day,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Trump loves strongmen. He loves strongmen. He loves people who win,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: even if it's by cheating, as we saw with his
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: conversation with Odigan from Turkey. And he loves people who
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: want to use the state to to you know, to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: pursue their agenda, as we saw with Mamdani. We'll talk
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: about that in a little bit. I mean the love
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: fest there. He he he loves a little Obego short.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Authormitarians. He likes Thethitarians. And he has
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: no freedom free countries. Self defense means nothing to him.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It really means nothing to him. Strength that's all that matters. Strength.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, he realized Ukraine can't be Russia. Certainly without
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the US help. He doesn't want to help Ukraine because
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Maggot doesn't really want to spend money on helping Ukraine,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: So he doesn't want to help Ukraine. And he wants
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a noble peace prize, and he likes Putin and he
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: would like Putin to succeed, but Putin's kind of not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, not really succeeding. So he's going to help
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Putin succeed and get a peace prize by securing some
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: kind of deal there. Anyway, just to give you a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: sense of what's going on on the ground, the Russians
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: are gaining ground very very very slowly, huge casualties, you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: every few months they.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Move a little bit.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But for them to gain the Donbas, which what Ukraine
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is about to hand over to them if they follow
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Trump's peace deal, it's going to take them years at
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the current pace, and in a huge amount of bloodshed,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: particularly Russian blood, and an economy that deteriorates further. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Ukraine is not winning, and Ukraine doesn't have the capacity
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to really beat the Russians back without much more Western aid,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: which it's not getting and it's not going to get
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it looks like, but Russia is not advancing very far,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and with a little bit more Western aid, Russian wouldn't advance.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Russia wouldn't advance at all. It would just be a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: VTRICI to go on for a long long time. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to some extent, Ukraine knows that, and it's realizing that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they're in trouble and they might need a deal, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they might have to compromise, and they might have to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: give the Russians a lot in order just to breathe,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: in order to get a little bit of a breathing space.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But they also don't want to do it in.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Such a way that gives Russia the ability and the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: ability to launch the war again in a few years
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and this time sweep through Ukraine because Ukraine has a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: smaller military and you will not defend them in the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: United States will not be there, and I'll just just
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: dominate them completely.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Ukraine can indeed defeat.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The Russians if they got proper aid, but they're not
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: going to. It's just not going to happen under Trump.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And the Europeans are too poor. They're too poor. They're
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: two fragmented, the two indecisive, the too cowardly. Mainly they're
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: too poor to really provide Ukraine with kind of aid
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it needs in order to win this. So Ukraine over
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the weekend, sent Zelenski and others went to I guess
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it was Zuich Geneva, Geneva, I think, and they met
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: with Marko Rubio and an American delegation. Marko Rubio, who
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was not at all involved in this twenty eight point plan,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: It was handed to him.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is what Trump does, he doesn't, I mean,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: he keeps saying he has respect for Rubio, but only
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: because Rubio is a yes man, and all this interesting
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: stuff happens around Rubio, and then Rubio gets handed it
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and Rio doesn't reject it, doesn't fight against it, doesn't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: complain to Trump. He just rolls with it. And Rubio
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is stuck negotiating this deal with the Ukrainians. So there
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: was a negotiation in Geneva this weekend. The twenty eighth
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: plan is now a twenty eight point plan, is now
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a nineteen point plan. A lot of Ukrainian's points are
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: being included into the plan. The plan has changed significantly.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's exactly where and how, But Ukraine wants if they're
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: going to get security guarantees. They want explicit security guaranties.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: They're very clear and very explicit.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: They don't want to give up the land.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And if they're going to, you know, they might make
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it demilitarized, but they won't give it up completely. Generally,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they're not willing to give up any land. So whatever
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: this deal will be would be from their perspective, temporary
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and da. Anyway, there's a draft now that's a nineteen
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: point plan that's much more aligned with.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Ukrainian goals. And of course.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Rubio is not talked to Trump, and because Rubio talked
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to Trump, Trump.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Is not mellowed a little bit.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Now he's a little bit more pro Ukraine and a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: little bit more anti Russia. And said, it really depends
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: who puts who Trump is talking to. If he talks
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a week, it's one thing. If he talks to Rubio,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it's another if he talks to JD. Vans or something else.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But the bottom line is there seems to be some
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: agreement coming together around this new plan, which is a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: version of the original plan, but a significantly changed version.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And of course Russia has already said, look, even the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: twenty eight point plan, even though we get everything we want.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: We want to tinkle with it a little bit.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: It's like everything we want, a few things we want
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: to in addition, and now it's going to be trimmed
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: back to this eighteen nineteen points. And now the Russians
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are not going to get anything close to what everything
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: they want. So again the Russia is going to turn
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: it down. And then Trump's gonna have to decide Who's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: gonna blame. Is he gonna blame the Ukrainians are going
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to blame the Russians. Who is going to bring for this?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: So it's it's a it's a real it's a real challenge.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Nothing's gonna come of this, I don't think accept more
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: strife and more headaches. And Zelenski's coming to Washington supposedly
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: to meet with Trump to finalize the fine points, as
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: if Trump knows what a fine point is or cares
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: about the fine points.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But he's he'll come.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: We'll be able to hold his hand, maybe maybe half
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the European leaders will come like last time, to hold
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: his hand and help him. Although I think he's figured
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: out how to deal with Trump. He compliments him, he
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: thanks him, he grovels, he kisses the ring and then
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: he he makes and then he makes his argument, which
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: is which is much easier. But even then they fight.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Trump just wants put him to win. He's wants Russia
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to get what it wants. He just doesn't give one
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: iota about you know, Ukraine. He really doesn't care. He
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: wants to be able to say he cut a deal.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: He wants to be able to say he got a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: He gotta compromise, he got a peace deal, he got
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a Nobel prize. He doesn't care about truth or justice,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: who's right, or who should win, none of that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: He likes Putin.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: He doesn't like lens Ki, and he wants a deal,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: and he realizes the Poutin won't budge, and therefore he
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: has to compromise. He has to He has to sell
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: out the link Sky to Putin. That's it. This is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: this is how thugs deal with the world. They deal
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: based on power of the other side and not based
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: on justice or truth or values. They don't values here
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: except force. Force is the only value Trump values.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: If you will, uh, anyway, we will see what happens.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Is Zelenski's coming maybe and uh, I think Putin's gonna
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: say no, although maybe they'll have to meet again, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Trump will have to gravel again, and and and and
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: for Putin to actually say, no, you know, be able
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: to do a flyover and a red carpet. Maybe he
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: didn't get a you know, a gun salute like like
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the NBS from study. Maybe got got a full gun salute.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's what Putin is waiting for in order
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to agree.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, Putin is no rush.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Putin unless he gets everything he wants, is afraid that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: once the war's over, the Russian people will turn on
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: him and ask him what it was all for? What
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: did they gain from it? As long as the war's going,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he can muster the patriotism of the Russian people and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: say he's the only guy who can see this through,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and he has a vision, and he he knows knows
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: what needs to be done, and he's channeling the Russian spirit.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Once it was over, and all the.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Widows and and and parents who lost their kids and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and injured soldiers coming back from the funds and just
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: soldiers coming back to the front with PTSD are going
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to turn around and say, what was this for? What
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: do we achieve here? We're even poorer than we were before. Now,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: why is this an American self interest to help Ukraine
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: or to care about this. I did a whole talk
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: about this a couple of years ago, so you can
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: find that online. But basically, Russia is a threat to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the United States. Russia is an enemy. It is you know,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: funding our enemies. It is funding attacks and our allies.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It is is it has ambitions to become a global power,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: starting with Europe and dominating Europe. That is not in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: America's interests and the United States, the United States should
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: help hold back an enemy, hold back the bad guys.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: For pretty cheap cost.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: If puts in a text NATO an Article five is
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: implemented and the US abides by its treaty, which maybe
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: he won't, but if it does, that will cost within
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: months more than years of support for Ukraine. So if
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you can cheaply, effectively and cheaply effect that, if you
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: could effectively and cheaply reduce the threat the Russia poses,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: then why not do it? I mean, our debt is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: so large, our government spends so much money. The money
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: we send Ukraine is trivial, and given that mostly we
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: send them weapons systems, and usually what we send them
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: as weapons systems that are dated, it doesn't actually cost
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: us much out of the treasury. These are bombs and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: missiles that we would have to replace anyway. These are
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: weapons systems that are already dated that have to be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: replaced and upgraded anyway. So instead of putting into some
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: trash heap, we give them to Ukrainians. Or right now
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Trump is selling the Tornado, but we give them to Ukrainians.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like such.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: A good deal us committed actually going to war with Russia,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: that it's a no brainer, just a no brainer to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: support Russia, all right, talking about another country that the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: United States supports.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And people complain about it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: And here the number, the amount of money involved is
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: so small it's pathetic that anybody even raises it, given
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the you know, the size of the American budget and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: how little we we give to Israel, even though I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: am I've said for years, twenty something years, thirty years,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: maybe that the United States stop giving money to Israel,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: or is it just stop taking money from the United States.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Either way, it doesn't help Israel. It hurts it, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it's hurting it right now. It's making a lot of
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: people turn against Israel. It's an excuse it's not a
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: real reason, it's an excuse. But fine, you know, Israel
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't need the money. But anyway, it's such a small
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: amount to pretend that it's about the debt the deficit,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: it's such a joke.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: The deficit is.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: One point nine trillion dollars trillion trillion, and as well
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: gets what three a billion, one point nine trillion to
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: three billion, that's uh one percent of one point nine
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: trillion would be you know, nineteen billion, right, thirty one percent.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So this is zero point one percent of the deficit,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: not of spending of the deficit. And this is what
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: people get excited about. And then I shouldn't call them
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: anti Semites because they don't get excited about all the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars we spend on so many crappy, stupid,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: crappy and stupid uh stuff in the United States. All right,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: let's see, so listen to Israel. So Israel has a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: few things out of Israel, both in terms of more
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: information about what happened on October seventh, but also a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: few things Israel is doing isel you know, comas breaks
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the cease fire periodically by by shooting or by approaching
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the the yellow line which they're not supposed to cross.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Israel retaliates.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: They also have made it very clear that they don't
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: have any attent to disarm. It's supposed to become a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: clear that no country is willing to send their troops
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to Gaza to try to force fully disarm Hamas. Nobody
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: is that suicidal. So this Trump peace plan is complete garbage.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It's useless. Nobody is going to actually do the work.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And they end only one military in the world can
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: do the work, is motivated to do, work, is incentivized
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to do it, is willing to do it, and as
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the capability of doing and that's Israel. So Israel has
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: over the last few years killed a major you know,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: major commander within Hamas, one of the remaining commanders in
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Hamas that they didn't kill before. Israel has also you know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a yellow line where Israel now in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the yellow area where Israel occupies about fifty few percent
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: of Gaza and the rest is in a sense Ramas occupied.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: But in the area that Israel occupies, this Ramas stuck
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: uh and Israel is basically cleaning them out and killing them,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: capturing them and killing them.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: So there's been a lot of activity around that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: UH.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: But they have been.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Bombing and and and killing senior people within Ramas. And
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: then over the weekend they did something they haven't done
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: in a while, and that is they bombed Bay Roots.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: They killed Risabella's number two. I thought Tabi Tabai something
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: like that. Uh Isbela's top military commander. And basically Israel
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: is saying to Lebanon, if you won't disarm Risbelah in Lebanon,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: we will. We will stop bombing you, and we will
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: stop bombing them. And there's gonna be collateral damage from Lebanese.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So if the Lebanese army doesn't go in and actually
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: start dismanding Krisbela, we will. UH. Israel, you know, signed
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the cease fire deal with Lebanon and Krisbelah, but only
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: under the assumption that Lebanon would this band Krisbela or
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: disarm them at least and the opposite is happening. Risbela
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: is rebuilding tunnels, rebuilding storages of weapons systems UH, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Israel is now hitting Lebanon basically daily. It's going to
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: increase the sautees, It's going to increase the amount of bombing significantly.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: In the days to come, there's going to be a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: lot more. Now it is possible that Krisbela will retaliate.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: They still have a lot of a lot of missiles,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: maybe tens of thousands of missiles still they have, uh,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: they still have some launchers. They could start launching missiles
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: into northern Israel. They are worried because of what happened
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: last time. You remember the beeper is the killing of
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the entire Grisbela leadership, almost the entire Isbela leadership, truction
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: of many of those missiles, you know, many of those launchers,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and is Al's basically incosion into South Ebine well as
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: well as threatening to do all of that again starting
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: next week next week. So uh, Asrael as doing what
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: they said they would do. We'll see what happens with
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: you on but just doing what they said they do.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: They basically said.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Look, we're gonna leave you alone.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: But every time you raise a hand against us, every
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: time you buy more weapons, you stock power, more missiles,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: you threaten our troops in any way, we will we
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: will come down on you. And that's what they're doing.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: They're doing in Gaza, they're doing it here, whereas in
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the past is all. It's would would reduce these fires
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and they would withdraw and they forget about it, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: then the other side would rearm and do everything, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: is always just ignore it all. It's not ignoring it now.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Now hopefully they can sustain this for a very long
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: time because they'll need to.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they are.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Israel's being diligent about not letting or Hamas get
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: re established, and they're taking him out where they need to.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the bombing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: They killed this guy, but very few, very little collateral damage,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: which was pretty amazing. Again, it was it was, you know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: pinpoint accuracy. They knew exactly where he was. Analysts are
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: saying they're using AI facial recognition on drones to identify Chrisabella,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: you know, leaders as they're moving around. They've got drones
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: all of the birout and you know, and then when
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the time comes, they can just launch against any one
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: of them. So it's going to be interesting. It be
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: you see if as well. I response, if it retaliates,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's all a out of war with Israel.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't, then Israel would just keep on using
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: bombings to reduce the as well as capabilities until if
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and until the Lebanese government decides to get serious about
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: trying to disarmbell itself. Oh, a few things about Israel.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: So you know, now that there's relatively relative calm in Israel,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of soul searching and about October seventh
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and how it happened, at least at the military level,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: you're not yet seeing at the political level.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: So there's still no commission, there's no.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Organized you know, investigation into with the politicians, did.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: They have any pardon this faults in this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Politicians have no incentive to look at their own responsibility.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But the military, for example, put out a list the
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: other day, I think it was yesterday, November twenty third,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: so yesterday, basically naming all the commanders. These are generals,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: bigadier generals, you know, senior commanders within the Israeli Army
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: who are going to be dismissed or sanctioned or discharged
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: completely even from reserved duty. You know, it starts from
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the former Chief of the Military Intelligence Directorate, the former
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Chief of the Operations Directorate, the command of the Idea
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: of Southern Command, the chief of Military Intelligence Directorate, the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: head of the Israeli Air Force, the Command in chief
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of Israeli Navy.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, all of them have been named, sanctioned, and held.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Responsible at least to some extent for what happened on
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: October seventh. So Israel is Israeli military taking accountability, figuring
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: out who is responsible, naming names, which is super important.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: So that has happened. What other thing, you know, there's
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: again there's a lot of looking at how Hamas gathered intelligence,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: how it knew where to attack and and and uh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: how did it how did it pull it all off
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: on October seventh? And it turns out that one of
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the things that they were doing is that, you know,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: they they basically been following social media of soldiers.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And they learned a lot about.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: The soldiers, where they were, what they were doing, what
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: their routines were, but even about the weapons systems. Soldiers
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: would would take selfies and do videos, and in the tank,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: around the tank, they knew, for example, that there's a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: secret button in the tank which were impressed basically disables
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the tank for a certain period. How do they have
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: this information, people asked, Well, beginning in twenty eighteen, you know,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: about twenty twenty five, hundred Hamas operatives started following nearly
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand IDF soldiers on social media, and these soldiers.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Did not did not treat the information they had appropriately.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: By tracking the soldiers, Hamas pierced together the puzzle uptained
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: highly valuable in for me photos and videos, some of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: them trivial from the bases outpost an Armored Corps training bases,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: training videos of soldiers demonstrating treank procedures, and they built
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: an entire program based on this videos in terms of
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: what they could do, how they could deal with the tanks,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and how they could do with the advanced weapons. These
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: reallys that where they were, what their routines were, what
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: their routines.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Were, when they could hit them the hardest.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I mean how must even created fake accounts WhatsApp groups
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to recruit people from elite IDEF combat units and then
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: gain access to those soldiers even when they didn't have
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a public profile, so they got their names, so they
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: had information about where the cameras were placed and what
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: would the procedure was if an alarm went off and
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: all of this using this information, according to this report
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: that has come out, Hamas built maps, simulations and even
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: simulate tours. It putes the three D simulator software at
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: four one to one scale, and constructor simulators are bases
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and outposts. The terrorists could put on virtual reality headsets
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: in Gaz and whohearsed the infiltration of each of the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: IDs outposts. Hamas also built physical, real world models of
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the Gaza boat outposts and trained inside them. Now as
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: any sense, knew that some of this was going on,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: but they couldn't imagine how accurate they were. And of
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: course warnings from intelligence operatives and intelligence officers went unheard,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and they were not to and seriously by the political
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: levels and by senior Israeli military offices. I mean, think
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: about what a powerful tool this iPhone is. And every
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: soldier has one, and they're playing around, and they don't.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Think there's a real threat. They don't think there's a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: war going to happen.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: They're sitting at the base, they're board they're playing games,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: they're doing videos, they're chatting with their go friends, they're
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: filming funny they're filming funny videos. They're showing off to
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: their go friends. Oh look at my tank, Look this button,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Look at what this button does. And senior commanders again
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: evade the real threat. They can't imagine Hamas will ever
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: do anything. This is from the Prime Minister Nataniell all
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the way down. I mean, it was a there was
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a a risk assessment at one point that the IDEAF
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: did maybe a year or two before October seventh, where
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the number one risk facing Israel, the number one existential
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: risk that Israel faced, not Hamas, not Iran, not Isbela,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: not Egypt, not Iran, climate.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Change, climate change.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Haramas got all this information from gullible young
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: people who were just fooling around because they didn't take
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the threat seriously, because their commanders didn't take this seriously,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: because their political leaders didn't take the threat seriously, because
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: they were basically betrayed by all those more adults, more
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: senior people. Remember, these soldiers are kids, really nothing more
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: than kids. I these are gonna be uh, this is
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: gonna be uh. I'm just gonna it's gonna be quick.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: On Yuan, just a couple of things on you Wan
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: that I'm gonna note. We'll get back to these because
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: they'll be in use for a while now. But Iran
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: is is in really big trouble. Its economy is in tatters.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: It can now reconstitute the military that it had before
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the Twelve Day War with Israel. And what's happening is
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: they're running out of water. I mean literally running out
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: of water. In some cities in Iran, you open the top,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: nothing comes out. Decades are bad decisions, decades of evasion,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: decades of focusing on building up a military at the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: expense of.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Water and food and.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Basic needs for the Ranian people. Literally, if you look
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: at the water reservoirs in Iran with dams, the water
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: is almost it's almost empty. They really are facing the
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: possibility of mass of not having water. Truly shocking. Millions
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: tens of millions of people are threatened by no water,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and they know the money to solve the problem. Now
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: note Israel, for example, has so much water right now. Israel,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: they used to be always wes is always used to
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: struggle with water when I was a kid.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I mean you had to watch water. You couldn't use
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: X number water.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Now there's so much water in Israel because of desalination
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: technology that Israel is refilling the Sea of Galilee, which
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: has gone down because people are using water upstream. It's
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: gone down in level, so they're not pumping from the
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: desalination plants from the Mediterranean water through the Sea of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Galilee and refilling it. Which is crazy stuff. But that's
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the difference between and advance technologically advanced, relatively rich, free
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: country that has entrepreneurs that invested in improving its own
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: people's lives by leaving them free to innovate and produce.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: The difference between that and a theocratic regime dedicated to
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: going after its enemies, building weapons and producing and creating
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and building n a nothing and seeing its people you know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: poor and now now get thirsty. All right. Also in Iran,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: there is a huge amount of pollution.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: There's a city shaha real where they.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Are is so choked to a toxic dust that people
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: can hardly see ten steps ahead. Again, you know, they're
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: going after the regime for the neglect that left the
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: city in the emergency conditions citizens struggle to breathe. And
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: again the regimes sinking billions into nuclear weapons and into
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: missiles and into all this other stuff. This is the
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: kind of mixture, a real economic damage, the risk of
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: not having water pollution, but real pollution pollution that is
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: really everybody knows is harming people's lives. That is going
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: to turn people against this regime. I mean, you're already
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: seeing that wearing, you know, have covering for women is
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: not being enforced into Hran. The regime doesn't want a
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: fight right now, but it might get a fight not
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: over freedom, but over neglect, over just neglecting its population.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: So the months to come I think are going to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: be super important in terms of what happens anyone, and
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I hope they're going to lead to lead to ultimately
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: a revolution, which I've been waiting for for a very
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: long time. All Right, m a lot of like five
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: ten dollars questions, put in some uh, twenty fifty dollars questions.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: We need to get our goals. And uh, I'm tired tonight,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: so a lot of five to ten dollar questions. We'll
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: have to go all night to get to the goals.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Value for value, remember that.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Mumdani.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Did you guys see this meeting between the socialist Mundani
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and uh and Trump? I mean wow. Mamdannie had actually
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: called Trumpet fascist and has repeated that since the meeting,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and yet they were like best buds. I mean, Trump
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: showed real respect for Mamdani. They agreed about their ffordability crisis. Right,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I mean this was supposed to be like a heavyweight fight. Nope,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: it was a love fest. Trump said, I feel very
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: confident that he can do a very good job. I mean,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: statists love each other. This is not an ideological confrontation.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: It's not that they disagree about ideology. Trump has no ideology,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and to an extent, he believes in stuff for our government,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie doesn't. It's not in a position. No, they
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: disagree with immigration, I'm sure, but they don't disagree about
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they don't disgovere a rain control, about lowering
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the cost of whatever. Filled in the blank. I mean
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Trump would love to open a government run grocery store. Uh,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it really is. It is fascinating. Of course, Mega kind
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: of freaked out. They didn't know what to do. You know.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Some people kind of uh went with Trump because they
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: have to, because that's what Marga means.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: It means worshiping Trump, you know.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: And some of them said, oh, Trump was just being
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: soft on Mamdani because he didn't want to insult him,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: he didn't want to humiliate him in public. Ye Others said,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: oh no, it's just Trump, you know, being funny. This
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: is a sense of humor, this sense of humor. You know,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of people just ignored it because they
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: don't know what to say. They don't know what to say. Remember,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Trump called Mom Dannia communist, lunatic not that long ago,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: and that was repeated all over Mega and the right
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: wing media, and even during the press conference, they're really friendly.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Uh uh you know fo and just loved it. He
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: thought this just showed that it's also proper. They don't
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: believe anything that peddling, which is true. And uh yeah,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like wow, it's it was fascinating
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, I mean, this is very uh,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it was very interesting to see, you know, how explicitly
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Trump stands for nothing. Uh. He is quite happy to
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: embrace what Laura Luma calls a jihadist communist. She was horrified.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: She was not happy with Trump at all, but she
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: also said she didn't condemn the president. She wasn't happy,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: but she wasn't condemning the president. I don't know how
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: that fits. Yeah, I mean, it's uh, it's quite something.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: It's quite something. Bannon was was critical or maybe you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: and Bannon what Bannon really was saying, was this is
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Trump playing forty chess. He wasn't critical. He's saying, Trump's
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: playing forty chess. And what Trump is doing is you're
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: gonna boost mmdanni and he will let him collapse and
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: then he'll say, see this is what happens to Marxist hotties. Anyway,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: it was. It was quite something. I mean, the shaking
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: of hands, the smiling, it's the kind of treatment Trump
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: gives NBS putin she and he gave it to mom donny.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: He elevated ma'm donny to that level. It's quite something.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: It's quite something, but it's it says so much about
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Trump and who he is and what he is, and
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: so much about his supporters that they didn't freak out
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: about this that this wasn't like okay, he's finished. It
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: just shows that the difference between Trump and Mumdanny don't exist.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Trump is, you know, economically basically no different than mumdonny.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: He's just as socialist as Mumdonny is. In essential terms.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: He's a statist. He wants come an intervention every way possible.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: And it's just shocking. It's chucking, not chucking that mcdannie
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: and Trump get along. That's not surprising. Really. What's shocking
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: is people not seeing it for what it is. People
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: not you know, seeing that what this represents is the
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: extent to which Trump is a leftist.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: And how completely bankrupt the whole thing is.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Jesse Waters at Fox said the chemistry between Trump and
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: mcdonnie was undeniable. Undeniable because it was there all right,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: talk about Trump's leftist economics. You know, there's the host
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: the whole thing about Obamacare, and uh, the Dunkers shut
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: it down because they won the extension of Obamacare subsidies
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: for Obamacare. These are subsidies that were extended and expanded
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: during COVID, and the Democrats want to continue that.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: They want to continue that, and Republicans didn't.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: And you know that was supposed to what the shutdown
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: was about was about the extension of of ACA, and
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Trump during the shutdowns said, oh, we should give them
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: money to the people. And a number of Senate Republicans
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: came out with with, uh, you know, health Sabian account
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: proposals that looked kind of good, and I was like, WHOA,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: maybe something good will come of Trump administration on healthcare. Maybe, yeah,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: foals as usual. The good stuff is like he does
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: at two am, and it disappears.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: By morning, it's gone.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: The White House is now saying that Trump is going
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: to pitch Obamacare extensions, not with limits, limits that will
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: then be expanded, because limits are in the future. The
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: limits expand in the future. But the President is gonna
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: make an announcement. It's gonna be some you know, nod
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: to HSA's. It's gonna be trivial and insignificant and meaning less.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: But basically, you're gonna get an increase in the in
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the Obamacare subsidies, just like the Democrats wanted.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: There will be some income you know.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: You'll be required to show some income, and there'll be
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: some some conditions placed in it to make it look
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit more republican. You know that they'll reducee
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: they'll reduce the cap for eligibility, but it will still
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: be high i seven hundred percent of the federal poverty line.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: You'll still be eligible for Obamacare, for the for the
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: for the whole thing. So you know, they're talking about
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: an option for enroy lees who received part of their
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: tax credit in a tax advantage saving account if they
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: move down to a lower premium health plan. But it's
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: it's like, it's not a full endorsement. Scrap ACA, scrap
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the whole thing and move to health saving accounts. So Trump,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: this is this is Trump right, No, it can no freedom,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: no liberty, no economic freedom principles, just appeasement. The Obamacare
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: is actually very popular, and it's very popular among Trump voters,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: remember Trump voters and lower income categories who actually use Medicaid,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and they use Obamacare.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: And they don't want to lose it. So rather than propose.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Something innovative, something that would really change healthcare, something that
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: would really help us and make healthcare cheap and better
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: and available to everybody, and rather than do that, which
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: was there was a little five minute window in which
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: it was being under consideration, He's basically going to go
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: to tinkering a little bit with the increase in subsidies
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: for Obamacare. Never might end Obamacare, that will Yeah, And
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: continuing in the same theme, right, remember doge, Remember it
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago, right, eight months ago? Remember all
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: the promise. Remember how some of you you, you, you, some
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: of you listening to the show were super excited about
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: dog and this was going to change the world and
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: they were literally going to cut spending and they were
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: going to shrink government, and they were going to change
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: America and it was going to be so cool and
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: mosca fus because this genius who is not going to
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: do this, and yeah, you all know that he was
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: doing that, he was going to do this, and many
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: of you, you know, uh, enthusiastically supported this. Well, now
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I guess officially those just shut down. It doesn't exist anymore.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: It still got eight months left in its charter which
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: was starting. You know, they had a chart at the beginning.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: It's gone. Nobody works for those anymore. Shut down. Must
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk promised two trillion in saving overall. Probably the
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: amount of saving is probably if you take everything into account.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know something about around zero. It was an
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: amateurist debacle that somebody predicted. Somebody I remember somebody explicitly
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: saying this was not work and they didn't know what
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: they were doing.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: I remember saying that.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I remember saying that over and over and over again,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: and people said nobody' said lun Musk, he's a genius.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Nothing it, you know.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Uh. They fired a lot of people that didn't change anything.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: They stopped to fallon aid again. Phone aid is not
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the problem, budgetary problem, that's not what's killing us. It's God,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: it's a joke. It turned out to be a joke,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: and it always was a joke, and you would think,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: here's here's the frustration that I feel. Feel. I get
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: so many of these things right now. I get something's wrong.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I admit I get something's wrong. But I get so
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: many of these things right when other people do not.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Why don't I have two million followers? I don't know,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I mean't being right be rewarded.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Not in the world in which we liver?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Turns out all right. Last week there was a video
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: made with a number of Democratic senators basically doing this
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: video and basically saying making this statement of the military,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: if you get illegal commands to do illegal things, you
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: should not do them right, disobey orders if the orders
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: are illegal, which is completely consistent with what the military holds.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was suggesting that maybe some of Trump's
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: orders are illegal, which I think they are, but that's
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: all it was. Anyway, one of those So Trump went
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: into champterone. I don't have the truth social but he
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: called them traders, and he said they should be hung
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: they should be killed as traders. He just flew off.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was just he went crazy as Trump does.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's he's not he's unhinged. I'm sorry,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: he's not only a five year old when he comes
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: to economics, but it's a five year old when he
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: comes to these kinds of things.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: He's just unhinged.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And you know, basically they came out and said, you know,
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: you you you shouldn't follow it, as if they're illegal,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: and again Trump called them the worst kind of names
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: and went into this complete insane diatripe. I mean, do
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: we literally have an unhinged president and we have a
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: president who has no respect for the Constitution and there's
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: no respect for the commitment of the military to that constitution. Now,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: since then, he's posted something about, yes, the military, we
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: should follow the constitution or something like that, because I
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: get I guess he got a backlash from maybe some conservatives.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, today, Pete he Saith, the Secretary
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: of War War I said that the military is going
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: to look into Senator Mark Kelly, who is of course
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: a U A was a part of the Navy and
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: is in reserves. Uh and uh to maybe bringing him
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: into the military and court martial him for this video
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: that he made, which I hope they do because then
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: it'll show how pathetic and ridiculous and no court of
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: law will they have a convict a Mark Kelly. But
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: you know claim they were seditious. This is completely insane. Anyway,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: what this actually has done is elevated sends him Mark
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Kelly and put him in the headlines. He might now
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: be the front runner for the Democratic nomination for president.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, he has a good post today on Twitter.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: You know, when I was twenty two years old, I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: commissioned as an ensign in the United States Navy and
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: sworn oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: flight school, multiple deployments in the USS midway thirty nine
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: combat missions in operation. There's a store test, pilot school,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: four space shuttle flights at Nassau, and every day since
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I retired, which I did after my wife Gabby was
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: shot in the head while serving a constituents in combat,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I had a miss out blow up next to my
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: jet and flew through anti aircraft fire to drop bombs
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: on enemy targets at NASA.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Launched. I launched on a rocket, commanded.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: The Space Shadow, and was part of the recovery mission
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Who died on Columbia.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I did all this in service of this country that
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I love and has given me so much.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Now, if that is not a campaign speech, I.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Don't know what is. Secretary hegsas tweet is the first
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: I've heard of this. I also saw the President's post
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: If this is meant to intimidate me and other members
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: it won't work.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: I've given too.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Much of this country to be silenced by bullies who
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution. Now,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I think about Mark Kelly's views
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: about economics of fhon poll CEO pretty much anything.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: But that is good, that's inspiring, that's correct, naming the constitution,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: going after bullies.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: The way he is.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: This is obviously a courageous individual who has you know,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: served in the military, has flown, you know, it's flown,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: flown a space shuttle into space. Pretty cool and it's
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: a cool guy. He should run for presidents. I think
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: he is. I think he's going to. I think I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: think maybe Gavin Newsen will have his hands full in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight on the Democratic side. Anyway, Pete Hegseth
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: and President Trump seemed to be elevating him to that point. Look,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Trump is doing everything they can to, you know, get
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: to position the military as his not assuming the constitution,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: not assume the nation, but itserving Trump. They've replaced generals,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: they have you know, they've made it very clear the
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: chain of command, the importance of command. They have disrespected
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: the Constitution.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: They don't care about the Constitution.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: They've clearly stated Trump has that the enemy is within.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, what Trump is doing is positioning in the
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: military to do his bidding internally. Now, again, I don't
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: think Trump is the guy will actually take advantage of
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: all that, although who knows if he loses big in
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: the midterm, what Trump turns to in his final two years.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: But Jadie vansers out there, others in the Republican Party
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: out there this power grab or the assertion of power
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: that Trump has taken on placing him above the law
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: and above the Constitution and above everything else, the autocrats
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: of the future, left or right are going to use this.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: This this will be the presidency. That is the pivot.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it started in the first term, but as
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I told you, what happen this term, it's on steroids.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Here's another example here where the only the only part
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: of government that is pushing back against Trump is the
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: legal the court system. Anyway, as we know, Trump has
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: launched warfare on his opponents, among them James Comy and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: what's the name of Latisia James who are being indicted
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: under very very very very very questionable circumstances clearly and
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: only because they went after Trump, no prosecutor would actually
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: prosecuting them. A prosecutor and I think in Virginia actually
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: left her position, resigned her position or because because she
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't bring charges against Camy and let you said, James, okay.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: So Trump then appointed somebody to that position who would
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: bring those charges.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: You know, this is the Eastern District of Virginia.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Uh. The prosecutor Lindsay Halligan, and a judge today, a
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: federal judge on Monday basically dismissed the criminal cases against
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: call Me and James concluding that the prosecutor who brought
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: the charges at President Trump's urging had been illegally appointed
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: by the Justice Department. Now this will be appealed in
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: this go on.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: But even before this, there were all kinds.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Of irregularities about these cases. There was a grand jury,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: and a grand jury was not shown the ultimate I guess,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: uh what do you call it? Uh, you know, claim
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: against them? I mean it just it's just this this
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: has been a a amateuristic witch hunt. Is that true?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Amateuristic witch hunt?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: A White House spoken has said that the wording will
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: not be the final world of the matter. So they're
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: gonna go They're gonna appeal. Attorney General pan Bondi vowed
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: then in a different press confidence that the Justice Department
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: would pursue an immediate appeal.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: And and uh.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: We'll look into maybe bringing the cases again because the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: cases are now being dismissed now because this is as
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: I said, this is just one facet of a just
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: an assault on these on these indictments. Uh so this
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: is what happened last week. Comee's loyal last week and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: moving to get his case tossed out, seized on a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: judge finding of a constellation of grand jury irregularities and
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: missteps by Halligan. This is the Attorney General.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: The Attorney H.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: James likewise has cited outrageous government condact preceding her indictment. Yeah,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: I mean they're just because they won't get they can't
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: get the pros to indict them because the pros think
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: there's no case here. They're getting amateurs to indicte them,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: and therefore it's an amateuristic case and it's it's a joke.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: But that's the Trump administration, you know, just hammer away
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: at your opponents. The hell about the rule of law
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: and doing it properly and actually going after people who
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: are guilty. No, it's about going after Trump's enemies and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: doing what Trump promised at the expense of justice, truth, constitution,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the rest of it. Finally, some good news. Uh, this
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: was great. So one of the best historians, according not
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: just according to me, but according to I think people
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: who are pretty good at this and experts on this
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: and who know the history. One of the best historians
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: of the American founding, of the of the of of
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: of early America is is Gordon Wood. Gordon Wood must
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: be in his eighties or nineties, now, golden Wood is
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: is is kind of the one of the one of
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: the real giants.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: Of American history, and Goldenwood had it not bad in
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal last week that it's important for
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: me to point out to you because it's it's the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: first time I've seen somebody other than me, if I.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Can say so, standing up to the JD. Vansers and
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: the National Conservatives and the Chist Conservatives and all these
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: people and a variety of different Senators Josh Hawley and
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: the other senators which we've talked about on this show
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: who have claimed that America is not about ideas. America
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: is about a people, about a place, and that to
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: be an American is really about bloodline. It's about whether
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: your ancestors fought in some war one hundred and fifty
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: years ago or two hundred and fifty years ago. I
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: mean to me this right now, intellectually maybe the most
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: important battle in America today.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: What is America.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: We're coming up on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: of this country tur and fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: of Independence July fourth, twenty twenty six. This is going
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: to be a year twenty twenty six, where what is
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: America should be the number one question that everybody asks,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: and it's clear what the New Right thinks. It's your
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: skin color, with some exception to where grandfathering in some
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: blacks because yeah, we enslaved them and you know, they're
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: just part of the country. They've been here a long time.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, some Mexicans, we conquered their land and
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: they were here, and maybe some Native Americans. This is
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: a white nation, we are told. And to be a
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: real American, what they're calling a heritage American, is to
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: be the the you know, offspring of people who fought
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: in the Great Wars, primarily the War of Independence and
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: the Civil War, and the Civil War doesn't matter which side.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: That is what makes America? That was is America? We
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: are told, Well, this is the and I a coug
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: you to find this up bad and you know, read
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: it and share it and disseminate this because this is
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: going to be a big topic this year.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be talking about it a lot.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: What is America?
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: We'll keep repeating it.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were talking about it
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: is It is an important issue. This is the title
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: of Gordon Wood's essay why America is a credo nation.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Credo means a creed, a set of ideas. The subtitle
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: says the distinguished historian says, the United States isn't like
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: other nations and never has been. There is no American
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: ethnicity to back up the state. I'm gonna read you
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit of this. It's long, and a lot
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: of it is the history, and it's got some stuff
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: at seventeen seventy six and the founders and goes they
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: had with these questions. We have some anniversaries coming up
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: next year that may help us, he writes. We have,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: of course, the two undred and fiftieth anniversary of the
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence. The same date is the bi centennial
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: of the deaths of two founders most responsible for that
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: great document, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The Declaration is
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: vital to understanding who we are as Americans. There's been
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: some talk recently that we aren't and shouldn't be a
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: creed a nation, that beliefs in a creed are too permissive,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: too weak a basis for citizenship, and we need to
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: realize that citizens with ancestors who go back several generations
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: have a stronger stake in the country than more recent immigrants.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: I reject this position as passionately as I can. That's
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: a yeah, so happy to hear. Goodin would say that
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: we have seen blood and soil efforts before. In the
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: eighteen nineties were so so crisis over immigration. Some Americans
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: try to claim that because they had ancestors who fought
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: in the Revolution or came here on the Mayflower, they
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: were more American than recent immigrants. My wife and I
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: recently gotten to know a couple who came from Romania
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies and became American citizens in the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. Although they speak with a slight accent, I
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: believe with all my heart that there is American as
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: someone whose ancestors came on the Mayflower. That is the
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: beauty of America. I mean, think of that. By the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: other people's claim, I Rand is not an American, I
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: would argue Iman is the American novelist. She wrote the
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: American novel. I think The fountain Head is the American novel.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: She articulated, discovered the American philosophy. She was an American
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: through and through. She understood the founding of America. The
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: essence of America, the spirit of America better than ninety
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: nine point of Americans, including those Americans who came from
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: the meatflower, whose ancestors came from the meat flower. To
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: exclude her would be to a tray America. To understand
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: what America is. He goes on. Golden Wood says, the
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: United States isn't a nation like other nations, and it
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: never has me. There is no American ethnicity to back
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: up the state, and there's no such distinctive ethnicity even
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: in seventeen seventy six when the US was created. Many
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: European countries Germany, for example, when nations before they became states.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Most European states were created out of a prior sense
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: of common ethnicity or language. Some of them, like the
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Czech Republic, were created in the twentieth century and are
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: newer than the two hundred and forty nine year old US.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: Yet all are Undergod by people that had a pre
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: existing sense of their own distinctiveness, their own nationhood.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: In the US, the process was reversed.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Americans created a state before they were a nation, and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: much of their American history has been an effort to
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: define that nationhood. All right, let me skip ahead here
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: and saying I mean, he basically says, look, even the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: founders struggled with this, and he didn't know if this
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: project would work. And he says John Adams certainly had
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: doubts that America could be a real nation. In America
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: said there was nothing like the Patria of the Romans,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: or the fatherland of the Dutch, or the patriot of
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: the French. All he saw in the US was an
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: appalling diversity of religious denominations and ethnicities. Right, we have
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: such a hotchpodge of people, he concluded, such an ominous
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: gatherum of English, Irish, German, Dutch, Swedes, French, et cetera,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: that it is difficult to give a name to the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: country characteristic of the people, because that's not what made
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: it so. So he goes on, it was Lincoln, Abraham
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: Lincoln who decisively developed an insight that somebody by the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: name of Ni I always had and clinched the case
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: for an importance, for the importance of the Revolution and
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: the Founders to all Americans. When Lincoln declared in eighteen
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: fifty eight all honor to Jefferson, he paid homage to
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: the founder who he knew could explain why the US
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: was one nation and should remain so. Half the American people,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Lincoln said, had no direct blood connection to the revolutionaries
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: of seventeen seventy six. German, Irish, French, Scandinavian citizens had
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: settled in America, finding themselves out equals in all things
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: they had. Quote that old Declaration of Independence, with its
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: small principles of equality to drawn. That principle applicable to
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: all men and all times, made all these different people
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: one with the founders. It's the idea of equality of rights,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: he says, applicable to all men all times, made all
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: these different view one with the founders, as though they
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: were blood of blood and flesh of flesh of the
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: men who wrote the declaration. This emphasis, Gordon Wood writes.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: This emphasis on liberty and equality.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: Lincoln said, shifting images was quote the electric cord that
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: linked the hearts of patriotic and liberty loving men together.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: That will link those patricharotic hearts as long as the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: love of freedom. Remember that tongue exists in the minds
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: of men throughout the world. Lincoln found in Jefferson's Declaration
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: a solution to the great problem of American identity. How
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: the great variety of individuals in America, with all their
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: diverse ethnicities, races, and religions, could be brought together into
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: a single nation. As Lincoln grasped better than anyone ever has,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the Revolution and Declaration offered us a set of beliefs that,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: through the generations, has supplied a bond that holds together
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: the most diverse nation history has ever known. Since the
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: whole world is in the US. Nothing but the ideals
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: coming out of the Revolution and their subsequent rich and
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: contentious history can turn such an assument of different individuals
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: into one people that the Declaration says we are.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: To be an.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: American is to be someone. Sorry, to be an American
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: is not to be someone, but to believe in something.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: That is why we are at hearts a creed a nation.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: That is why the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the Declaration next year is so important. So I agree
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: with wood Einman called the United States the first moral nation,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: the first nation built on a moral principle, the principle
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: of individual rights. That's what America is, that is its creed.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: All men are created equal in rights, but then that
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: they have those rights, and that the government's job is
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: to protect those rights.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: That is what America is.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: It's not genes, it's not blood, it's not soil, it's
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: not pretty landscape, it's not God. It's the rights of man.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: It's the only nation, only nation founded on a mall principle,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: or the first one founded on them all principle. It
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't the only model nation. It was the only nation
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: founded on the all principle. Different, not exactly the same.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that is.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: That is the news for November twenty fourth. We will
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: keep coming back to this theme of what is America
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: during the year to come, celebrating that declaration independence, elevating it,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and really this is the year
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: to make a big deal out of it. And this
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: is the year we need to have an impact. We
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: need we need to move this country. This country needs
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: to move away from the destructive ideas that dominated today
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: and back to the principles on which he was founded.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, that is the news on this What
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: is it November twenty fourth. It's a Monday that shows

• 1:26:44

• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: more people, the more I will be convinced that it's
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: interest in me doing your show on Thanksgiving. Like right now,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: they're only three people. Not very convincing. Ryan, you said
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Europeans are too poor, they're not put militarily and if
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: they had any courage or self esteem they would confront
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Russia directly. They have no mab backbone, and it is
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: disgusting and pathetic. I mean, all of that is true,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: particularly given that the Russia is involved right now in
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: major sabotage attacks against for example, Polish railroads, airports all
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: over Europe, being harassed by drones. All of that is Russia,
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Everybody knows it, and yet Europeans are
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: doing nothing about it. All of these acts of war
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: by the Russian state, and at the very least they
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: should be arming the Ukrainians to the teeth. Now, the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: problem is that, because of decades of neglect, European militaries
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: are not in good shape. They don't have the right equipment,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: The equipment is not up to date, the soldiers are
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: not well trained and they're not ready for combat.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: And that is really the problem. Now, I agree with Ryan.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: Actually the deeper problem is that the cowards. The deeper
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: problem is that they're afraid. The deeper problem is they
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: have no mal backbone. That's a deeper problem. But even
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: if they didn't want to fight themselves, they could be
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: arming the Ukrainians so much more than they are right now,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: and they could be devoting more resources to protecting themselves.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: They need to. Russia will not stop with Ukraine. They
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: will not stop with Ukraine. Kevin, if I call correctly
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: you in a debate and you said that you would
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: love to be yelled at by Steve Jobs after the
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: other guy took a jab at his treatment of his employees,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: why would you love being yelled at by him? I
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: would love to be yelled at by a genius. I
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: would love to have that kind of interaction with genius,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: with somebody who really knows and is passionate. Mean you know,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: I mean yelled at by Lennon Peacock. So that's good,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: you learn from it. Somebody's upset by somebody think you
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: did something, things, that what you're doing is wrong, something.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody cares enough to yell at you because they think.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: You could do better.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: That's a compliment, and you want to learn from somebody
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean, to just be in the presence
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: of Steve Jobs. I consider Steve Jobs one of the
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, the greatest businessman in American history, suddenly
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: the most inspiring business leader in my lifetime. I consider
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: him like a symbol of what a business leader could be.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: And I mean talk about models for young men. As
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: your model Steve Jobs, I mean, I think he's the
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: epitome of masculinity, of self esteem, of of leadership, of
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: you know, presence, somebody who failed repeatedly and then succeeded
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: big and inspired. Yeah, I mean, I consider I'm a
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: great human being. So you know, his private life is
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: not my business. I don't really care what are he
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: did in his private life. In his public life, he
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: is a great human being and a role model and
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: somebody we should and just to be in that, To
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: be in that in a room with Steve Jobs, Wow,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: that would be cool. And they have him Kevin for you,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: so he yelled at you. That's super cool. So I
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: I really.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: Really value people who are.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: Incredibly knowledgeable and I have a lot to learn from them,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: and so I value that. So I don't have any
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: problem being yelled at by somebody who really has something,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: who I admire and I have something to learn from.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Ryan says, your discussion with Stitch and Adams was one
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: of your best so far. You really had an impact
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: on their ideas and how they view morality. You could
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: tell that their beliefs were being challenged. Bravo, Thank you.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I had an impact
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: on their ideas, you'd have to repeatedly confront them with that.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: My guess is, next time I'm on they show, they're
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: back at square one. These ideas typically don't stick with people,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: certainly not the first time they encountered them, and then
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: they have to do real work in order to properly
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: apply them and integrate them into the entirety of their knowledge.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought it was a good conversation, respectful,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: They ask good questions. They ask kind of, if you will,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: typically quite typical questions. And yeah, I think it went well.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: And I've seen an uptick since the show every day,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: an uptick in subscribers. I think it's people coming over
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: from their show to subscribe, because I haven't done any
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: show since then, Maybe that's why.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's great.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: It was great and they want to have me back,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: so I'll be doing their show again. Oh I didn't
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: start with the fifty dollars ones, sorry, Ryan, Ryan says
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: for fifty Canadian the president brought peace to the region
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: for the first time in seven thousand years. Now that
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: the fighting has resumed, do you think he can do
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: it again? I am already saving up vacation on the
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: beautiful Gaza Reviea. I mean you exaggerating a little bit, Ryan,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: I mean he said three thousand years, not seven. But yeah,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you need to hear it from me
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: again about how pathetic Trump is and his declarations and
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: his claims and it's and all of that. But yeah,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't count you know, I wouldn't count on that
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: those investments. If they're going to the gods of REVEREA
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: might as well might as well buy bitcoin or something.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey, all right, I saw you kept the star.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: So Jeffrey Miller at bar Miller had had a Michelin Star.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: They got a Michelin Star last year in twenty twenty four,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: and which was fantastic and they deserve it and I've
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: eaten it and it was phenomenal. But it's every year
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: you have to reown the star. It's not grandfather. You
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: have to rehown it every year, right, And I think
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: the first time you were in you is probably the toughest.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: You know, have we kept at the standards and then
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: you start going maybe for the second start, but first
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: you have to renew the first star and you have
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: to keep that first time. It's not easy to keep
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: that first off, but.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: They kept it.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: So the other night last week on Tuesday, I think
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: there was a ceremony. I think it was in Philadelphia.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: It covered missless stars for Philadelphia, Boston, New York, and
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: I think Chicago, and so a bunch of new restaurants
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: got stars, and yeah, Jeffrey's restaurant Bon Miller I got
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: to keep the star, which keeps momentum in terms of
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: people going there and income and just I think motivates
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey to be even more ambitious and go for for
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: two stars. Also noticed, Jeffrey, that your favorite sushi place
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: that you said, oh, we have to go next time,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: we have to go to this place I think was
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: a shoe a counter, a shoe sushi shoe that had
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: two stars got their third star, which is massive to
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: get three stars it's massive. So my guess is the
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: price also went up by at least one hundred dollars
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: a person once you get that third star. So yeah,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to a sushi shoe shooe or whatever it
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: is next time, for sure. But yeah, congratulations, it's terrific.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: You deserve it. We had a great meal there recently
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: and we loved it. It was really really good. And
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: we'll be coming back. We will be coming back, no question,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: by the way. I now, yeah, I mean we are.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: Now let's see, we're not. Yeah, thirteen dollars away from
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: our second hour goal. So and we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: eight nine, ten people who want me to do a
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving show. But ten out of one hundred and forty
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: two watching, I don't know, it's not inspiring, guys, Like,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: it's not even ten percent of the people listening right
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: now willing to put some dollars to have me do
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving show. So let's get a few more and
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: let's close that thirteen dollar gap. I've never been ntrigonometry.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: If you guys can get me entrigonometry, that'd be huge.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: I've been on Alex Friedman three times, but I've never
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: been entrigonometry. That would be really really massive drone REGUEV.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: I am no fan of Trump, and here's the butt.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: I am seeing the threat from Islamism as bigger and
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: more imminent than what Trump is doing to American democracy.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: How do you see this in balance the two? Oh God,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: I mean Islamism is how do I it's not a threat.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: I mean it's not a real threat.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: I mean the West could wipe out Islamism in a day,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of a spine, and there's
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: no Islamism, and Islamism is zero threat, literally zero threat
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: in the United States. I mean China and RUSSI how
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: much bigger threats to the United States and Islamism is.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: I mean they could do another nine to eleven, maybe
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: once every twenty years, but not much more than that.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: So it's you know, our freedoms are being eroded every
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: single day by Trump, and our institutions are being eroded
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: and destroyed every single day by Trump. I don't know
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: if we'll ever recover from Trump in terms of institutions.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: Can Islamists do that to us? To America, forget about Israel,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: forget about Europe, To America, what is the.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: Threat Islamists can do to America?
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: That Muslims generally are two percent of the population, Islamists
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: are less than one percent of the population, well less
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: than one percent of the population. What can they do
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: so and if they did, they're so small, they're so weak,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: they're so pathetic.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: I don't I'm not afraid of them.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: I'm much more worried about the erosion of the connection
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: between the military and the constitution of America. Because they're powerful.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: They could change my life, they could destroy this country.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: So you're worried about Dearborn, Michigan and Deborn, Michigan. Is
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: one concentrated place. Is Dearborn, Michigan, Again, a conker America.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: They happen to have a majority in Deebone and even
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: in Dearborn, not all the Muslims they are Islamists too many,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: maybe a majority. But are they the threat to America?
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: You guys are pathetic if you think that's a threat
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: to America. I mean really pathetic. I mean it's so
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: easy to destroy that threat. And they can't do anything.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: They cannot do anything. I mean, if you're in England,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: or if you're in France, if you're in Germany. If
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: you're Sweden, I get it. Islamism should be what you
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: worry about. But if you're in Michigan. Even in Michigan
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: there's such a small minority it has no impact. And
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: if them people in Michigan ever got serious about crushing
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: the Islamists in Dearborn, they wouldn't survive for very long. Now.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: Our university is a threat to America. Yes, professors at
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: the University of threat to America. Yes. And one of
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: the reasons Trump can get away with what he gets
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: away with is because of Katari money, and because of
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: the bad education, and because of our professors. If not
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: for all of that, Trump wouldn't exist. Trump is the creation.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: He's the manifestation of what happens when you do what
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: you do to our universities. But the Islamism, if you
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: have just a little bit of self esteem, you realize
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: that they are no threat. Could they commit some terrorists
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: to X sure? Is that going to top all the US?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: It's that going to change is our constitution? Is that
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: going to destroy the Supreme Court? Is that going to
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: change our way of life? None? Unless we let it,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: Not unless we give in to them, not unless we
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: surrender and that's on nas. That's not on them, that's
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: on us. We surrender, so we might commit suicide. Ba
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: Islamism will never win.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: Not a threat at all at all.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: All right, AKA A kia, I don't know how to
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: pronounce that, A k I A n y two.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you, two hundred bucks, really really really appreciate that.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I think that that kind of tilts it
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: towards Thanksgiving show. I'll take that as part of the
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: Yes movement. So would be nice if, like we had
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: more individuals, even at the low numbers, low dollar amounts,
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: just so we could just I could say more intent
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: the people said yes. But I'll take two hundred is
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: to represent a lot of people.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Evan says, great show today, always anchored to
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: the true and the right in our unmoored times. Thank you,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: Evan appreciated. Ian says, I think Trump trying to corrupt
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: the military is one of the most consequential things he
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: is doing all order, presumed, legal, et cetera. The other
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: thing is the corruption of judicial Justice Department, which he
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: has successfully in. Yeah, justice rounder is done, He's finished.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: The military is still a work in progress. But look
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: he is systematically, systematically, and I think consciously undermining our
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: institutions and denigrating the constitution. That is his goal, or
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: at least the goal of some of the people around him,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: who are may be more.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Intelligent than him.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: That is the goal, that is the purpose. That's what
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: they're trying to do, and that's why they will be
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: the most destructive administration in American history if.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: They continue on the path we're on right now.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: Shasbat, I had no idea that the bodies of the
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: Columbia shuttle disaster were recovered. I'm shocked. I saw that
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: happen live. Yeah, I mean, whatever was left of them
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: was recovered. I can't try if I saw it live,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: but I remember seeing the video. Whether it was a
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: replay a live I don't know, but yeah, that was horrible.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, suppose I'm sure they were recovered because he
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: said they were. I don't think you would lie about
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: something like that. Lourie, thank you twenty dollars for yes.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you really appreciate that. Shasbat also says, this is
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: a quote from hand creaton could what could some bandit
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: take from me compared to the people who are supposed
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: to be my protectors.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: That is a great quote.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: That is a great quote, and absolutely right, absolutely right, all.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: Right, let me thank again. I came too for the
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: two hundred dollars.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you Vahab, Thank you Real Daniel Wellington, thank you, Flouda,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: Nick mg DA MGD, Mindspan, Lincoln, Jeffney, Nick Allen, Lourie
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: laid back, petal pusher whatever that means. The thumb dum dum.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: Let's see we have more stickers normative rand Roid, Joseph Keller.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: And Allan and.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: We've got Mary, Eleen and Adam and Steven and Darlene
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: and Raphael. Thank you guys, all the stickers, but keep
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: them coming, keep them coming. We've got forty three dollars
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: to make up to make our third hour goal. Okay,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: like numbers, aren't Marklevin and Ben Shapiro's the real heroes
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: for trying to steer conservatives in a better non for
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: interest direction from within the movement.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, heroes.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: So somebody just says what they think and has a
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: semi somewhat correct position and now they're heroes because everybody
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: else is such a scumbag. I mean they yeah, I
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: mean I have a lot of respect for Mark Levin
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: and Ben Shapiro not only for defending their position, but
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: also particularly Ben Shapiro using moral terms to do it,
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: and and and and strongly. So I'm all supportive of that,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: But I don't you know, so now, if we're not Nazis,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: we're heroes, or if we're trying to steer the Republican
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: Party away from being full on Nazis, we're heroes. I mean,
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: do we consider anybody who tries to prevent the Democratic
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: Party from becoming all out communists heroes? I just don't
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: think of there's heroes. I think they're better than obviously
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: the bad guys, and I like some of what they say,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: But I also say this, God, and I'm gonna say this,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: the only reason that the conservative movement and the Republican
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: Party has to be saved.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: Is because of people like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: They're the ones who made this possible. They're the ones
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: who cave to Trump.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: They're the ones who have been watching as the Republican
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: Party has become a socialist, nationalist, a Christian political party.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: They're the ones who've been watching and by their silence
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: endorsing as the party has moved away from any principle,
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: away from the Founding, away from the Declaration, away from
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: individual rights, away from what they claim their conception of
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: conservatism is, away from capitalism, which they claim to be
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: defenders of. They have seen it for years now, for years,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: and they stay silent, silent, And now because Jews and
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: because anti Semitism is on their eyes and because Israel
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: is attacked, they've woken up. Good.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: I'm glad they've woken up.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: Good for them. But where the hell have they been?
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: Where the hell have they been for the last ten years.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's disgusting what Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: have done, the cover up that they have been engaged in,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: in covering up the sins of Donald Trump. It's disgusting
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: how they have given their moral sanction to what the
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: Republican Party has become and to the activities, the anti capitalist,
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: anti American activities are President Trump and Candaida Trump. That
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: they have stayed silent, that they have not criticized Trump,
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: that they didn't go after him after so many disgusting, hubbable,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: despicable things that he has done over the last ten years.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: And now they wake up.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: Now they suddenly remember that there's something to fight for,
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: that conservatism actually stands for something. They are the ones
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: that left the field open to Nick Fouantis by not
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: When when was the last time Ben Shapiro criticized the
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: National Conservatives or JD.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: Vance or Joam Marazzoni.
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: As Mark Levin, when's the last time he criticized Josh
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: Hawley and JD. Van's When did they did they? Did
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: they make fun of the National Conservative movements conferences? Did
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: they rip into the speeches that claim that this country
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: is blood and soil? When the point is not anti semitism.
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: Anti Semitism is a symptom of the disease. The disease.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: Is mega.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: The disease is the negation of the Constitution. The diseases
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: everything that Trump represents. So their support of Trump, there's
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: silence over the shift towards Christian conservatism that this that
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party has taken. There's silence over the insanity,
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: the irrationality, the anti Americanism of MAGA. There's silence over Ice.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: There's silence over the attack and the judiciary. Their silence
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: over the attack on the military. They silence over the
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: attack on capitalism, that this administration is engaging. There's silence
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: of Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro. That is what has
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: led us to this point. That has created Dick Foyenttis,
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: it has created Donald Trump, it has created Maga. They
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: didn't fight the fight when it needed to be fought.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: They came very, very late, and now it might be
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: too late. Where were they when some of us stood
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: up against Trump? Where were they when some of us
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: stood for capitalism? They were unseen, unheard. They can really
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: raise their voice when they want to. And again, good
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: for them for going after Tucker and going after any points.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: But you know what, whoever doesn't go after Tucker ny
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: points is so beneath contempt. I mean, there's such easy
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: targets Tucker, nick points. I mean, the fact that we
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: even talk about them is ridiculous. So, yeah, how big
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: of a deal is to go after Tucker nifrinis.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: Not big of a deal. The big deal is to
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: go after JD.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: Vans and Donald Trump and the National Conservatives, not about
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: their anti semitism. Anti Semitism isn't the issue. The issue
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: is the nature of the American right. The issue is
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: what does this country stand for? The issue is what
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: this country should stand for anti Semitism, again, just a symptom.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: It's good that that at least woke them up. But
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: they've been sleeping for the last ten years, sleeping so
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: focused on the left they couldn't see that their own
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: so called allies were about to stab them in the
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: back and twist the blade. Because they were stabbing America
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: in the back and twisting the blade anyway, that's legitm
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: Me getting angry because, I mean, this is such low
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: hanging fruit. It's so easy to go off to Takhan
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: Coulson and this. We're going to give them a lot
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: of credit for this, Michael. When Republicans condemned socialism, what
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: they're looking at. What they're saying is look at this
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: more extreme version and how bad it is, So don't
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: mind us when we do a moderate version of it.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: Well, why moderate?
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: There's a sense in which Republicans are doing just an
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: extreme version. As a socialist, I mean, I wonder if
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: socialists within the Democratic Party would be as audacious as
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: Trump has been in taking equity positions in American companies.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: I doubt it, Michael says.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson said people aren't after happiness, They're after not hurting.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: Such a defeatist view of life. Yes, definitely, a view
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: of life that comes from a level in place. The
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: essence of life is suffering, the essence of life is hurting.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: The essence of life is pain, very ebstential, very sotern
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: cameu and all you want is the relief of that,
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: and I get it. Jordan Peterson is a you know,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: clinical psychiatrist. He deals with people who are in pain.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: That's all he encounters. That all he deals with.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: That's his profession. He's extrapolating for his patients.
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: The rest of mankind. That's pretty sad, uh eula. Why
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: don't you be in countries help Ukraine? Isn't in their
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: interest to do so? It should be, it isn't their interest.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: But they're cowards. They don't have a backbone, they don't
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: they they're afraid to stand up to Russia.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: They're afraid. They're not very rich.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 1: They're in I mean the country like France is in
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: real financial trouble, Germany's economic trouble. All these countries are
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: in trouble. It's it's difficult for them, but they're mainly cowards.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: Why as you have being poor an excuse us minus
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: forty trillion. Yeah, but we're still much much richer than them. However,
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: you look at it, even in net worth, even if
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: you take the debt into come, America is much richer
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: than Europe. And it's not an excuse, it's just a reality.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: And in spite of being poor, they should stand up
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: because if they don't stand up and get Russia, they
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: will get poorer. So I'm all four, you have standing
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: up to Russia. I don't say they're poor as an excuse.
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: I'm giving.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: It's an excuse they give, but they are poor. Even
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: though we're negative forty trillion, we're still we're still much
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: richer than Europeans, even on a net basis. All right,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: what's this doing? Come on, Michael God, why is this
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: not working? Forrentis and others on the New Right often
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: start their monologues with as a white Christian man. It's
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: the same as the woke left prefacing every statement with
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 1: as a woman of color. Absolutely absolutely good call Michael's
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: it's identity politics politics all the way through the left
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: the right. They're all identitarian. They all care about race
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, ethnicity and sexuality, you know, and gender whatever.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 2: That's what they think. Defines you.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: They're all determinists, and they're all tribalists and racists, which
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: is the lowest form of barbarians. Primitives. They're all primitives.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: Nick Foyentis is a primitive, tribal primitive.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: Michael.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: It's as if Tucker Karston is coaching Nick Foyenttis and
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: all the others on how to come across is less
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: explicitly evil in order to enter the mainstream conservative movement.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, and Tucker knows what he's doing and has done
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: it and is doing it.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Note how he's not being repudiated even though he keeps
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: getting Nadia and Nadia and Nadia and crazier. Nobody wants
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: to exclude him from the conservative movement. It's quite stunning,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: all right, Michael. Which is the best state in the
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: country to start a business or to do business in?
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: I think in terms of.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: Studying a business might be Florida. You can look it up,
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: just google it, because there are indexes. There's a think
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: tank that puts out an index of the economically freest
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: states in the country and the least regulated states in
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: the country. It also probably depends on the type of
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: business you're in. But I think it's Florida, but they
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: might be a state or two above Florida. Michael Trump
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: and Mamdanni in the Oval office, openly saying he agrees
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: with many of his policies. I see the left and
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: right merging around some form of socialist anti semitism. Yeah,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's socialist fascist. It's all the same thing.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: They share a certain anti semitism. They'll share a certain
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: level of the environment. You know, we'll see our religion
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: plays into this. We'll see our religion ultimately plays into it.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: But I do think religion will playable. Michael, Fascists are socialists.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: Traditional socialists and communists don't like. Oh fascist a socialist.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 1: Traditional socialists and communists don't like. Well, it's the other
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: way around, fascism. I mean, if you think about the
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: first fascist as a movement was God, the guy in
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: Italy who was a socialist, who was a member of
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: the Socialists and Socialist.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: Party, and who.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: You know, realized Benito was Sellini. God, I can't can't
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: believe I couldn't come up with the name of Selini.
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 1: But anyway, when with Selini realized that he could use
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: the state to implement socialism or used the state to
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: implement the things he wanted to implement much better than
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: through the workers and a revolution and all that slow stuff,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: and that the state was really really important for the
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: kind of collectivistic aims he wanted to achieve. So fascism
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: was a movement that came out of socialism as a
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: more as they believed a more effective way to achieve
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: the collectivistic ends that they had. Wyatt, didn't you used
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: to say Russia wasn't a threat to the US. Yeah,
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't think Russia was a threat to the United States.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: And then there's a sension, which it's not. The real
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: threat is to Europe. But the fact is that the
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: United States is still a member of NATO. As long
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: as the United States is a member of NATO, Russia
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: is a threat to the United States. Right if the
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: United States left NATO, WHI I have argued it should,
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: then Russia stops being a threat as much to the
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: United States, and it's responsibility of Europe to take care
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: of them. But we're not.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: We are part of NATO.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: So any attack of Russia on Estonia demands the United
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: States deploy troops young men and women to the battlefields
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: of Estonia.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get there. Rather let the.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: Ukrainians, you know, bog them down, destroy as much of
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: the capability as possible, so we don't have to deploy
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: American troops to defending Estonia, which we have to do
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: by treaty. Michael says, has Peter Singer I ever mentioned
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: nine rand or objectivism? Would you debate him? I don't
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: think he ever has that I know of, But you know,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on Peter Sing. Would I debate him? Yeah,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: although I think that more qualified people debate him. I
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: would debate him. Yes. Peter Singer is a famous philosopher
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: altruistic explicitly the altruistic philosopher. Michael says, it's Potland embrasing capitalism.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: Is their economy booming. The economy is doing well. They
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: liberalized their economy significantly in the nineties, and I have
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: kept it free since then, relatively free. So the economy
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: is relatively free, relatively liberal. They haven't really liberalized it
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: more since the nineties, unfortunately, otherwise they'd be even richer
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: and they'd be growing even faster. But for a while there,
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: for a while, they really did a lot of great
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: work liberalizing the economy. I think I lost a lot
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: of live watchers after that rant on Shapiro and and
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: Mark Levin. All Right, Blue Soul says he is vacationing
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 1: in Saigon, Vietnam.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think. Yeah, at some point write
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: us a little trip reports. I'm curious what it's like, Michael.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: The young generation thinks nihilism is cool until it happens
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: to them. Yeah. I think that's generally true of nihilists.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: They think it cool until their lives are destroyed by it.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: And it's nihilists on the left, nihilists on the right.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: We are dominated suddenly at the extremes by nihilists, Okay,
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: Sue Nrick something like that. The significance of the left
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: and right merging on anti Semitism is that it allows
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: us the watermanism in ways not possible with agreeing on environmentalism.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: Dictators use an enemy to stay in power. Yes, and
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: you know it won't be enough to have the Jews
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: as an enemy. They'll also have to come up with
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 1: other enemies. But yes, I agree with you. I think
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: that's right. The jewses and the enemy is very powerful
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: as we've seen in centuries, past decades and centuries past.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: Adam G.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: Why do a lot of people think lowering the interest
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: rate will suddenly make everything more affordable? Are we at
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: risk for hyperinflation if rates keep dropping? I mean, I
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: think they'll make it more affordable because mortgage rates will
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: go down, business borrowing will go down. They hope rents
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: will go down because because landlords will be able to
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: build buildings that you know, with cheaper debt. You know,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: lowering interest rates doesn't create inflation. It depends why interstates
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: are going down and how they're going down. So just
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: lowering interest rates in and of itself does not increase inflation.
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't think we're at risk of hyper inflation. No,
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: I'll say this, We're not at risk of hyper inflation
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: because the FED is not creating huge amounts of money
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: right now. It's just not hyper inflation. Hyper inflation I
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: don't know twenty thirty forty one hundred percent that requires
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: the printing presses to run pretty fast, or the electronic
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: money creation to happen really, really really fast, and I'm
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: not seeing that. I don't see that happening. So even
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: if interestates go down, I don't think inflation in and
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: of itself is going to go up a lot. Inflation
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: is high already. We're talking about price inflation, price increases.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Price is going up at about three percent. That is
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: because of whatever money printing is going on right now,
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: and the fact that that has never really stopped. And
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: some of the price increases might be result of tariffs.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: But TAFs to only increase overall price rail level. They
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: only increase relative prices. But again, CPI only measures some prices.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: Inflation numbers only measure some prices. No. In other words,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think hyper inflations are risk because I don't
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: see anybody printing money like crazy.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 2: Lincoln, regime change in.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: Iran would be the greatest event in my lifetime, but
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: it seems unlikely given the regime has lasted a long time.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: But it's deteriorating and the resentment of it is growing,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: and the willingness to stand up against it is growing.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: I would not be at all surprised if we saw
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: the regime fall in the next ten years, maybe even five.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: Lincoln says, bonus super chat for twenty dollars. Thank you, Lincoln.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: I noticed that many on that many on the right
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: that the ideal of masculinity is physical strength, which.
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 2: I always found foolish.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: To them, the outer soldier is more man than jobs
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: da Vinci Edison. Yes, I think that's right, because they
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: don't see in olden times survival dependent on or it
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: seemed that survival dependent on physical ability. When war was
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: everywhere where, you were threatened by armies and robbers and.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 2: Gangs.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: Physical strength mattered, physical ability, your ability to fight mattered.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: And you can still and people still look for that.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: You can see that in all our heroes on TV
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: and in the movies. They're are fighters. But in the
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: modern world. I mean this has always been true, but
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 1: certainly in the modern world, it's not muscle that determines
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: your success. It's not muscle then you must use in
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: order to be achieve your goals, to achieve your aims,
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: or even to protect your family, or to or to
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: or to you know, uh, you know, provide for your family.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: What you need is the brains. What you need is
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: self esteem. What you need is the ability to go
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: out there and shape the world. And that requires brains
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: and character. And you know, that is what true masculinity is.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: It's the ability to use one's brains to to lead
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: and and and and move to change the physical world
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: out there, in providing for ourselves, in making our lives better.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: That's what real masculinity. But that requires a shift from
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: thinking about survival and thriving as requiring thinking rather than
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: requiring muscle. U e. Sieve ninety seven. Thank you for
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: the stick. I really really appreciate that.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: We have now achieved our goal three our goal. Really
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: Guys, Nomadi rand Road.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: What's going on in Minnesota, a Somali community and Trump
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: removing TPS any truth allegation of money laundering.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like they did do some money laundering.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: It looks like money was funneled to L Schabab in Somalia,
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: which is a terrorist organization, I mean Islamish terrorist organization.
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: How much money is not clear. There's a lot of
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 2: panic around this.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: How many Somalis were actually involved when you say Somali
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: can unity, how much how many of those? How much
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: was it? So you know, there's a lot of the
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: right is very focused on Somali community in Minneapolis because
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: of what's her name, the congresswoman who's from there, and
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 1: they want to use it at every opportunity.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: To discredit immigration. Remember they're eating cats.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: Those were some all these I think supposedly eating cats
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: in Ohio. So it's they're easy to you know, they're black,
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: they look different, and some of them and the Muslim
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: some of them are Islamist minority, but some of them are,
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: so it's easy to make them the you know, the
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: mascot of immigrants. So the right as an ascentive to
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: bring that out. There's also some tribalism in their recent
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: mayor election of Minnesota. I mean, some other communities pretty
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 1: big in Minnesota, They're pretty significant. Okay, Lincoln has a
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: full part question. Let's go through this. I often joke
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: with my parents and friends that we can tell Iran
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: has actually become a free country when there is a
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert in Iran. Gen Z might find that
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 1: happening to be insane. But in nineteen ninety one, there
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: was a huge rock band headlined by Metallica that had
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: over a million people attend in nineteen ninety one. Where
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that was. You're not saying where
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: that was. If within two years of the Berlin Wall falling,
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: American rock bands oh this is in Berlin. Rock bands
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: with long hair and T shirts can perform in Moscow
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: to many young people.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: It's not insane to assume that even more.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: Popular American pop star like Taylor Swift could perform one
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: of her concerts with a job without a hit, job
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: free run. I agree absolutely.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 2: I think it is a good sign.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: It would be a sign of the Iranian regime falling.
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: Iran in the seventies and even Iranians in the eighties
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: followed quite a bit kind of pop music and rock
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: music from the West.
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 2: I mean I went.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: I mean I like Chris de Burgh, who was a singer,
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 1: I think, an Irish singer in the eighties, and I
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: went to a concert of his in Orange County. He
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: came to Orange County a few years ago to sing,
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: and ninety five percent of the audience were Iranians who
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: used to listen to him in Iran in the nineteen eighties.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: It was so bizarre. I really felt I was in
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: an alternative universe. Here was a rock concert, pop concert,
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: and my wife and I were there, and the whole
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: auditorium was filled with Iranians. All right, Murish here something
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: anders and any thoughts on Takichi's comment to protect Taiwan's
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 1: military against China and China's response to threaten her and
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: take it to the UN. Yeah, I talked about a
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: little bit last week. I was gonna add it, but
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: I had already eight topics. But yeah, I mean, Japan
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: is really standing up to China. It's said that it
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: would it would consider intervening if the Chinese went after Taiwan.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 2: And the Chinese flipped out over this.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: They they they're boycotting Japanese seafood, They're boycotting Japanese tourism.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: The threatening the japan is taking into the UN. The
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: Japanese now, they just announced their movie missiles medium range
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: ground to air missiles to an island, a Japanese island
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: really really really really close to Taiwan, which would have
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: massive strategic importance if the Chinese tried to invade the Taiwan.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: So good for she's standing up to Chinese. To China,
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: she I mean, Japan is like Europe. Japan to Taiwan
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: is like Europe is to Ukraine. And she realizes that
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 1: to avoid a war like Ukraine, the more signaling they do,
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 1: the more the more they commit to being on the
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: side of Taiwan.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 2: The more they're the more they're.
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 1: Likely to avoid a Chinese invasion. So good for Takaichi.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: All right, Lincoln says, Trump forty seven, Trump forty Five's
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: not so greatest hits. I'm not sure I understand that one. Sorry,
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: all right, let's see. All right, thank you guys for
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: all your support for the Thanksgiving show, so we'll probably
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: do that, Robert, thank you, Thank you guys. And then
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: this is, I think is the last question, Michael. From Michael.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: Is individualism having difficulty coming into fashion because again because America,
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: Americans are more irrational and altruistic than ever before. Maybe maybe,
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: I mean I think certainly irrational maybe and probably altruistic
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: I think they're unthinking. I think that's the key, more
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: than ever before.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: But there was also, you know, American history is interesting,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 1: the periods where America we had religious revivals and they
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: somemost survived all that. And I think they survived because
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: they the American sist of life kept them going. I
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: think the individualism is having a particularly difficult time right
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: now because the sense of life that connected them to individualism,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: that spirit that was American that somehow passed from generation
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: generation maybe diluted, but past in spite of the bad philosophy,
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: I think is really dying. As again, Lennapeakop said in
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: American Versus Americans suddenly was dying, was dying in the
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 1: two thousands and maybe is dead by now. I think
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: to say Trump selection represents that. So that's what's it's
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: the it's a making sense of life is just not there,
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: just not there. All right, guys, have a great rest
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: of your week. I will see you tomorrow.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 2: The rest of the week, we will have shows. I
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 2: will have a show on Thanksgiving.
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: I think you've convinced me, so we will have shows
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 1: all week and Saturday and Sunday. We're gonna go all
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: out this week.
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You did really well.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: We made our goal for the third hour, so I
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: really really appreciate that. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll do that every day this week to make
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: up for the fact that I didn't have shows, and
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: just to achieve our goals is always a good thing.
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 2: Uh and uh, yeah, I will see you tomorrow.
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: Probably I'm not your exist either two or three pm
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: East Coast time. Uh, let's see tomorrow is two pm
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: eas Coast time tomorrow. See then everybody bye.
