  Speaker 2: A fantastic Friday and looking forward to the weekend. It is,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: my friends, it is the day where the Nobel Peace
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Prize was announced. This this incredibly important prize that Donald
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Trump has been seeking, uh talking about NonStop for most
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of the year, and shockingly, completely.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Unexpectedly, he didn't get it. He didn't get it.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: No. I know many of you are crushed, disappointed, really upset,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: as is most Maga. They're kind of freaking out a
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: The Nobel Peace Prize actually went to to Maria Karina
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Machado Machado, who is the opposition leader in Venezuela, so
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: who is fighting against the Maduro government, and it went
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: in recognition for her struggle for freedom and her struggle
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: against a dictatorship. Actually a pretty good a pretty good prize,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a pretty good person to give the price too. It's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: also really good to see the Nobel Prize committee recognize
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the fact that Venezuela is a dictatorship. And that people
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: fighting the dictatorship are worthy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Maria Karina Markado for for winning the prize. I think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's I think it's terrific. And again and the the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Noble Price Committee is talks about of
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Venezuela's authoritarian regime. So they're not holding back, they're calling
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: they're calling them what they really are. So terrific if
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the world comes to recognize, recognize the Venezuelans for what
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: they really are, A lot of people upset. A Putin,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: for example, is very upset. I mean Putin said that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: he thinks this award has lost all credibility. It didn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: lose credibility by giving it Yes, or or by giving
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it Henry Kissinger for the peace between North and South Vietnam.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: It didn't lose credibility for giving it to Obama before
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: he ever did anything. Just by being Obama, just by
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: existing as Obama didn't lose credibility. Then, according to Putin,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: it lost credibility. Today the committee discussed the prize for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: people who have done nothing for the world, and he
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: said about Trump, who should have gotten that. According to Putin,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: he solves complex problems, crises that last for decades, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I figured out how to ignore him and actually manipulate
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: him in ways that Trump doesn't even realize happening.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: He didn't say any of that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I said that, but yeah, Putin's upset. He thinks Trump
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: should have gotten it. Maria c Youno Mercato herself put
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: out a statement saying, quote, this circugndition of the struggle
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of Nezuelans is a boost to conclude our task to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: conquer freedom. We are on the threshold of victory, and today,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to achieve freedom and democracy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I dedicate this prize.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: To the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: for his decisive suffort support of our cause. I mean,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: leaders of the world have figured out They figured out
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: one thing. It really across the board. You saw this
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: with with Mark Connie, the Canadian premiere UH visiting the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: United States a few days ago. And you see with NATANIAO.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You see with the Europeans very good at this. Now
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they figured out something in the last few months and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that is the best approach to Donald Trump is to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: compliment him, to suck up to him, to constantly be
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: nice to him, to constantly say nice things about.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Him, and then you get anything you want.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Then you get and I mean unless your putin and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you have something on him, But everybody else just have
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to suck up to Trump and you get whatever you want.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: And of course mikado Is is particularly nice to Trump
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: right now because Trump is.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Got the navy out there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: In the Caribbean Sea, and and it is threatening the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Maduro regime. You know, they are rumors that the US
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is getting ready to depose my duo. She would she
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: will Venezuela and and her of course will benefit enormously
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: if if that happens. But but generally, you know, if
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: if you want, if you want anything from the United States,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: if you want anything from Trump, then the way to
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: get what you want is by sucking up to him.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's it's really, really, really simple.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You notice how he was so much nice out of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Canada this last visit. And Connie won't say a negative
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: word about Trump anymore in the interviews and everything. He
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: spins everything positively because he knows that Trump has thin skin,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and if you criticize him, that's it. He'll come after you,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and it's it's home anyway. The Noruisians have not figured
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: this out, and the spokesman for the Nobel Peace Prize
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: was asked by a reporter why didn't Trump win the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Nobel Peace Prize, and the committee chair for the Nobel
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Prize said this, we only give their war to people
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of courage and integrity. I expect I expect an aircraft
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: carrier to deployed to the to the North Sea. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: expect tariffs to go up on Norway. And just for
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that comment, I expect I expect Norway to.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Be in big, big, big.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Trouble, big trouble, just uh, just for that. Uh yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: magis freaking out. In the meantime, people are very upset.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Uh uh.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Senator Senator from Wyoming wrote, the woke Noble Committee gave
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Obama peace spice for doing nothing. They wouldn't know peace
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: if it stared them in the face, and uh, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see. Uh. You know. Other people have have have
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: flipped out and accusing the Noah Peace Committee of all
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: kinds of things. The problem is the nod Peace Committee
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: actually gave it to somebody good. And a lot of
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Maga know that because they're very anti Maduo, so it's
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: it's hard for them to criticize it, uh too much.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But uh yes, Uh, the compliments rolling into Trump from
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: all of them is a pretty stunning. And if it
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: was up to certainly up to Twitter, uh, Trump would
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: get a nob Peace Prize next year, next year.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: There's always next year. Don't give up. Don't give up Trump,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: don't give up. Donald. You will win one. You've got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a good chance.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: All let's see one second, just clean up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you should.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Joseph asked if I've seen if I've seen the news,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: read the title of today's show, and your answer will
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: be there. I think the biggest news right now certainly
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is stock market thing. So, but I think the biggest
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: news right now is the news out of China in
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: terms of the limits they are placing on rare earth
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: materials and generally their escalation, dramatic escalation in the trade
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: war against the United States, and Trump's response to it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Trump responded earlier today.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I'll read you some of his response afterwards, and immediately
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: when he posted his response on to social Basically, stock
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: market went down two percent, so Nasdak just just just
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: went down dramatically. But basically China, you know, Trump has
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: been positioning it as the China stuff is under control.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: He's going to beet with she in a couple of weeks.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He's going to visit Beijing, she is going to come
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to Washington the best buddies, and uh, yeah, it's all
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: under control. Don't worry, He's got it, and and uh
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: he's winning the trade war. And China basically today said
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you got to be kidding. Basically, they feel.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Like they have to. Otherwise they wouldn't have done this.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Like like they've got They've got Trump's number, they feel
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: like they've they've got up a hand.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: They basically came out yesterday basically.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Saying that they are going to control now the entire
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: supply chain of rail earth materials and including magnets.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: They are going to limit not only the export.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Of these products, but the countries that then use these
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: products and then export on. China wants to control all
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: of that, the entire supply chain. They want to limit it.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They want to they want to restrain it. They want
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: to be able to control the entire supply chain of
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: rare earth materials that they use, which basically will give
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: them gives them, you know, control over much of the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: tech world suddenly, batteries, drones, all of that. They would
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: have complete control over all of that. In addition, China
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is imposing new port fees on all US ships.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This is direct retaliation for the fact that.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Trump has placed port fees on all Chinese ships entering
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: US ports. So this is just a reaction to that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And then China is launching a probe into Qualcomm, again
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a response to the probes of Chinese companies, from Huawei
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: way back to.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Other Chinese companies.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: This is a response telling the Trump administration, Yeah, we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: can play this game as well. We can play this
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: game as well. I think what China is also basically
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: revealing is how amateuristic.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Amateuristic is that a word? Amateur risk?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Amateur I mean, how completely pathetic the Trumpet administration is.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: They're not serious. They're playing at a trade war.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Trump basically launched a trade war with China with no preparation,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: no allies. Indeed, he spent He not only launched a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: trade war with China, but he alienated all our allies
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: at the same time by launching trade wars against all
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So we have no backup, and we have no.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Support from allies in terms of our confrontation with China.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: No reduction of vulnerabilities, no beefing up our supply of magnets,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: no beefing up our supply of railroad materials. Maybe starting
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the process of mining them and and and refining them
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: before you actually.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Launch the trade war. No, no, no, launch the trade
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: war first.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: And as a consequence, we've played right into the Chinese hands.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: They have much stronger cause.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Than we do in the trade relationship between US and them. Again,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: their economy is not that strong. They've got real economic problems, uh,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the real vulnerabilities. But on this on trade with the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: United States, they just have more cause than we do.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: They can make us hurt much more than we can
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: make them hoot. So they consider Trump, I think weak.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: They consider this trade war a feeble attempt to achieve anything.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, they're gonna show They're gonna show Trump. They're
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna show him up. That is I that
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: is I think. I think their goal they're basically tightening
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: control over the anti global production of metals, which are
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: essential to manufacture of computer chips and as we said
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a bunch of other electronic products.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Uh. But but but starting.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: From with with computer chips, they've announced the starting on
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a MBA eight, they're going to restrict exports of many
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: kinds of equipment needed to manufacture batteries for electric cars.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So the manufacturing equipment, and remember the Biden administration and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Trumpet administration supported this, restricted the exports of chip manufacturing
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: technology to China. So ASML in the Netherlands cannot sell
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Chinese companies chip manufacturing technology. Well, basically is saying, okay,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you want to play that game, We're going to restrict
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the equipment to build batteries. You know, rare earths are
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: essential for the production of many of computer chips uh
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and uh and a lot of kind of the uh
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: that a lot of the AI where gazillions of dollars
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: are going in. But on top of that, uh, the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: dependent that they're needed for magnets, the power electric motors
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and drones, factory robots, off shape wind turbines, uh and
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and many systems within cars and of course uh. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: China for example, refines one hundred percent of the world's samarium,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: which is a rare earth metal used by the United
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: States to make F thirty five fighters and is used
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in American missiles. China wants to clamp down on all
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of that. Now, it already done some clamping down, if
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you will, in in in previous months. But this is
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a significant a significant step, a significant increase, a significant.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Escalation of.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: The trade war. And of course this is at a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: time where Trump is supposed to meet which key. So
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: this is a real threat to the United States defense industry,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to the entire United States defense supply chain. And the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: US is not ready. I mean, that's what's shocking. This
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: should not have been a surprise, this should be anticipated.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: But Trump is just not ready. So this is what
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Trump wrote today. Some very strange things are happening in China.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: They're becoming very hostile and sending letters to countries throughout
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the world that they want to impose export controls on
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: each and every element of production having to do with
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: railroads and virtually anything else they can think of, even
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: if it's not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: anything like this, but essentially it would clog the markets
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and make life difficult for virtually every country in the world,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: especially for China. We have been contacted by other countries
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: who are extremely angry at this great trade hostility. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: wonder who started the trade hostility?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Can't you remember?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Which came out of nowhere? Really out of nowhere, out
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of nowhere? I mean, how delusional do you have to be?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Our relationship with China over the past six months has
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: been a very good one. That's why there was a
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: period there where tarifs were what one hundred and thirty
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: five percent if I remember it, because we had such
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a good relationship with them, and Trump is such a
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: big advocate thereby making this move on trade an even
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: more surprising one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I have always felt that they've been lying in wait.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Really he had nothing but compliments of she recently, and now,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: as usual, I've been proven right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: No, because you never said that bs.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: He continues, there's no way that China should be allowed
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to hold the world captive, but that seems to be
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: in their plan for quite some time. And if that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: was the plan, why didn't you do anything about it? Zada, zero, nada,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: not a thing. You're completely unprepared, starting with magnets and
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: other elements that they have quietly amassed into somewhat of
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a monopoly position.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Who had a sinister and hostile move, to say the least.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But the United States has a monopoly position also much
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: stronger and more far reaching than China's. I have just
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: not chosen to use them. There was never a reason
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: for me to do so until now.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: All caps.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: The letter they sent is many pages long and details
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: with great specificity, each and every element that they want
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to withhold from out the nations. Things that were routine
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: are no longer routine at all. I have not spoken
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to Presidant She because there's been no reason to do so.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: This was a real surprise.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I thought he predicted this, didn't he say a few
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: sentences ago that he predicted this.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there was a This was a real surprise,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: not only to me but to all the leaders of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the free world. But he knew it was coming. They
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: were laying in wait. Go figure.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I was to meet it with Presidanent She in two
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: weeks at Apek in South Korea, but now there seems
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to be no reason to do so.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: The Chinese letters were especially inappropriate, and that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: This was the day that after three thousand years, three
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: thousand years of bedlam and fighting, there's peace in the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: midd least, did you know, there was peace in the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: midd least after three thousand years. I mean, this is
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: the President of the United States, and I know I'm
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: supposed to admire him and like him and respect him
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and think he's just amazing, but he's really an infantile,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: pathetic little Anyway, I wonder if that timing was a coincidental.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Depending on what China says about the hostile order that
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: they have just put out, I will be forced, as
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: president of the United States of America financially counter their
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: move for every element that they have been able to monopolize.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: We have two, do we really what others? I'm curious
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to see. I've never thought it would come to this.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I thought he said he knew they were laying in wait.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He keeps contradicting himself. I don't understand it. I never
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: thought it would come to this. But perhaps, as with
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: all things, the time has come. Ultimately through, though potentially painful,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: it will be a very good thing in the end
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: for the United States of America. One of the part
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: policies that we are calculating at this moment is a
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products. You mean, like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: what you've done in the past coming into the United
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: States of America. There are many other countermeasures that are
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: likewise under serious consideration.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Stock market went down two percent as a consequence. Also, also,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: what do you call it? Oil prices? All prices went
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: down a lot today, So oil is crude. Oil is
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: down to down over four percent, which suggests that is
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a signal of expected recession demand for oil going down significantly.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So it's below sixty again, which is very low and
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: not very profitable for US manufacturers.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: SMP now is down two percent.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: The Nasdaq is down almost three percent, which suggested we
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Bitcoin's probably down. Yeah, bitcoins down three point six percent.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Very correlated, as I've said in the past with the NASDAC.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: The dollar is down quite a bit against pretty much
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: all the currencies. Interest rates are down Tenia, bond is down,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: gold is up. You'd expect that more end of the
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: world fears and interesting how gold and bitcoin don't.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Always move together.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bank stocks are down three percent, I mean, yeah,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: brutal out there because of this fear, this fear of
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: a potential potential trade war, potential trade war. So yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: it's a big story. It's one we will be watching.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what Trump's response is going
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to be. And you know, to what extent this has
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a really impact on the US economy and maybe on
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the global economy. I don't completely understand China's move. They
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: must sense some American weakness. There must be something they
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: want from the Trump administration that they have not been
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: getting and this is a way to flex their muscles
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: and get it from Trump. So there must be something
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the Chinese angling for.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Visa v. Trump, and it's going to be interesting to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: see how they play this.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: But this is more I know a lot of you
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: don't want to hear this, but this is more of
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a just a reflection of Trump's weakness and the weakness
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: of the whole trade play, if you will, the whole
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: trade war the Trump launched, particularly visa vis the Chinese,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: because we're so dependent on them for these things and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: they're not that dependent on us for almost anything.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: But you can imagine the.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Stock of Apple struggling in other companies like that, because
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: you know, any decline, any tariffs that affect Apple or
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: that affect other American companies doing business with China, which
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: have in the past gotten exemptions.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: If they don't get those exemptions.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: It could have pretty nasty consequences to shareholders of Apple
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: into Apple's business. So trade wars are stupid. Tariffs are
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: worse than stupid. This is completely unnecessary and strategically childish
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: for Trump to.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Get in in it with China.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to do it, and they might
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: be strategic reasons to ultimately separate ourselves to China, but
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: then you first make sure that you're not dependent on
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: them strategically, and only then do you engage in the trade,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: will not or in separation or in detachment from them.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: You don't do it the other way around. It just
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. It's amateur hour, which is what
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration is on almost everything. All right, Yeah, today,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you know, we kind of got numbers for the end
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of the last fiscal year, and so we got numbers
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: on deficit and things like that for the end of
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the end of the last fiscal year at the end
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of September, and it turns out shockingly then, in spite
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: of douge and in spite of the big beautiful, big
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: big beautiful bill, and in spite of increased revenue from tariffs,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: which is it the budget deficit, It did not shrink.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: It actually was about the same as it was last year,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: at one point eight trillion dollars.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I kid you not, I kid you not.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: One point eight trillion dollars of.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Government deficit.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: And this in spite of the fact that there was
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: a surgeon tower revenue, so income did go up, and
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: in spite of that, because spending also went up, in
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: spite of age, in spite of supposedly them Republicans wanting
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: to shrink spending, spending went up.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And the deficit is the same as it was last year,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: one point eight.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Trillion dollars, trillion dollars. It also was revealed that for
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: the first time, the first time, the debts, you know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: interest on the debt, just interest payments on the debt
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: exceeded last year one trillion dollars. So one trillion dollars
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: was paid as interest on the debt. You know, I
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: think that exceeds all. It's more money we spent on
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: interest on the debt than on defense. I think it's
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: more money than any other single category, accept soise security.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: So one trillion dollars for the first time on debt
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: revenue was up about one hundred and ninety five billion
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: because of tariffs. Well, no, I mean total was one
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: ninety five. It was up, it was up one hundred
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and twenty five. So last year was seventy seven billion.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: This year was one ninety five, one hundred and twenty
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: five billion. More. Let me just say easily that these
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: tariffs cost I mean, these are taxes that Americans paid,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So one hundred and twenty five a billion additional taxes
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you are paid uh for for tariffs. You you guys
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: are paid extra taxes.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: UH.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: But the damaged the economy is far greater than the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: increase in government revenue.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: And generally increasing government revenue not good thing, Not a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: good thing.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: It's sucking money out of the private economy and destructive
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: economically and of course morally offensive that we be we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: taxed based on whom we buy stuff from.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Pretty pretty pretty bad, all right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: So a few months ago, UH, the Trumpet mgistration put
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: out a an offer to nine universities called the Compact
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, and UH.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: The Compact had.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: A principles things that universities needed to abide by, and
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: if they abided by these principles, they would have a
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: preferential treatment vis a VI government grants, you know, government
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: research grants and government different government grants, government investments. This
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: was so I mean, some examples, the compact demanded that
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: the schools use ban the use of race or section
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: hiring and admissions, that they free tuition for five years,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that they cap international undergraduate enrollment at fifteen percent. They're
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: required that applicants take SAT or similar tests, and that
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the universities quell great inflation. Much of the documentary have
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: focused on campus political climate, and uh, you know a
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: lot of people claimed that the language here was pretty
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: vague and imprecise, but there was.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: This seemed to be a mandate to get rid of.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Certain departments that, according to the Trumpet administration, belittle conservative ideas.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: And again, if you signed on to this compact, the
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: benefit you would get is more government money, more more
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and preferential treatment in terms of receiving government money.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: The first university to respond formally to this compact was
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: m i T today, and mi T basically rejected the compact.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: They said that this was a violation of their independence
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: and violation of of their values.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: This is this is in the president of the University.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: core beliefs that scientific funding should be based on scientific
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: merit alone. White House spoken said in a statement, quote,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: any university that refuses this once in a lifetime opportunity
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: to transform higher education isn't serving its students or their
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: parents that are bowing to radical left wing bureaucrats. The
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: best science can't thrive in institutions that have abandoned merit
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: freeing where were in the pursuit of truth.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: President Trump encourages.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: University to join us in the strowing academic excellence and
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: common sense politics are policies, sorry, policies. The deadline for
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: response to the compact is October twentieth.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: The other age colleges.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: That were offered this compact or University of Arizona, Brown
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Darmouth College, University of Pennsylvania, University of South Southern California,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: University of Texas, Vanderbilt University, and.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: The University of Virginia.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the criteria is for why these
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: were chosen, but anyway, and then in addition to MIT,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: the only university system that is the university that has
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: expressed a positive inclination towards the compact.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Unsurprising is the University of Texas.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Are the universities everybody still waiting to hear. The University
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: of Virginia has created a committee, as you would expect,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and we will see.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: We will see what.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: The different different universities, how the different universities respond to this.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: But my expectation is that maybe with the exception of
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the University of Texas, maybe one or two other universities,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the universities all.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Will reject us, will reject this.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Compack, this governor attempt to intervene in their in how
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: they run their businesses. This is from the letter that
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: the president of MIT wrote. I write and respond to
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: your letter of October first, Da da da. I acknowledge
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the vital imponents of these matters. I appreciate the chance
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: to meet with you earlier this year to discuss the
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: bioities we.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Share about American for American High Education. Uh da da
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: da da. Here's some of the you know so, she writes,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we do. We have a clear set of values of excellence.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Above all some packing examples.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: MIT bides yourself on a rewarding merit students, faculty, and staff,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: succeed here based on strength of their talent, ideas, and
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: hard work for instant. The institute was the first to
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: reinstate the sat ACT requirements after the pandemic, and MIT
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: has never had a legacy.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Preferences in admissions.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Opens its door to the most talented students, regardless of
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: their families finances.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Admissions are need blind.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Incoming undergraduates whose families earn less than two hundred thousand
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: dollars a year pay no tuition. Nearly eighty eight percent
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: of our last graduating class left MIT with no debt
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: for their education.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That's pretty amazing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: We make a wealth of free courses and low cost
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: certificates available to any American with an Internet connection.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Of the undergraduate degrees we award.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Ninety four percent in STEM fields, and as service to
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the nation service to the nation, we cap enrollment of
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: international undergraduates at roughly ten percent. We value free expression,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: as clearly described in the MIT Statement of Freedom of
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Expression and academic freedom. We must hear facts and opinions
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: we don't like and engage respectfully.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: With those with those whom we disagree.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: These values, in other MIT practices meet or exceed many
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: standards outlined in the doc document you sent. We freely
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: choose these values because they're right, and we live by them,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: because they support our mission work of immense value to
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: the prosperity, competitiveness, health, and security of the United States,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: which they weren't so collectivists.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: And of course MIT abide by the law.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: The document also includes principles with which we disagree, including
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: those that would restrict freedom of expression and our independence
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: as an institution. And fortunately, the premise of the document
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: be based on scientific merit alone. In our view, American's
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: leadership in science and innovation depends on independent thinking and
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: open competition for excellence in that free marketplace of ideas,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the people of MIT gladly compete with the very best
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: without preference. Therefore, with respect, we cannot support the proposed
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: approach to addressing these issues the issues facing vacation. As
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: you know, MIT's record of service to the nation is
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: long and enduring. DA we continue to believe in the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: power of this partnership to serve the nation. So they
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: have turned down the Trump administration.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Good fam. MIT. I hope other universities do it as well.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I really, really, really would like to see the government
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: not interfering in universities.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see the shift that has to happen ultimately,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: that needs to happen at universities at the philosophical curriculum level,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: happen because alumni, because students, because parents, but alumni more
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: than anybody else, demand it, and not because of the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: government demanding it. And I would like to see the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: government shrinking the amount of money it gives universities for
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: all these various things, all the various funding that it provides.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see the government get out of student debt,
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: out of funding people said, you, I'd like to get
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: them out of ultimately.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Out of funding science.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: But you know that's that's after a long other list
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of things that the government should stop doing.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, this strange, strange story the book.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Today, during a some kind of a press conference that
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth was doing with the with a Katari, the
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Katari Defense Minister, and they were viewing different things. Hegseth
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: mentioned that they were signing a deal between the United
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: States and Katau to establish a facility. It turns out
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: a training facility for the Katari Air Force in the
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: United States at the Home at the Mountain Home Air
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Force Base in Idaho, Wait. Katari pilots we trained on
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: flying and operating F fifteen's.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just bizarre.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Why is Katta opening a base with an American base
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: in America. I mean, they could be invited to come
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and be trained in F fifteens at an American base.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: They don't need their own base for that. It's just
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: bizarre the extent to which this administration is has this really, really.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Really close relationship with Kata.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously President Trump got the four hundred million
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: dollar jet from them. Of course, the United States for
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a long time has had a big military force base
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: in Katau, the largest in the Middle East.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But and Trump put a.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Lot of pressure on the Kataris to put pressure on Hamas,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: which seems to be successful at least for now.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: But now they're.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Opening up a military base on American soil.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: It's just strange.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe some one of you will tell me,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you know, this is it's done all the time, and
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: other countries have military bases in the United States.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I doubt that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Add to that the fact that is not exactly a
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: real ideological ally. Maybe it's an ally, you know, visa
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: visern conflicts in.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: The Middle East. But this is a Emirates.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Kingdom in other words, not exactly individual rights protecting, you know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: a republic. It is. It is the largest funder of
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the world, Muslim Brotherhood being the
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: fountain head of all Sunni terrorist organizations out there, a
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Kaita and Isis and Haramas and all of them, and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Katar supports them, houses them, gives them a home. It
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: is also the base of all Jazeira, a Islamist publication
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: that's explicitly anti Western and undermines Western values and rallies
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Islamist soul of the world to the cause of Islam,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: particularly in Europe and in the United States, undermining Western civilization.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And yet there are best friends. This was so close to.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Them now that they're literally opening up a military base
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: in Idaho. Now this is so crazy and so nutty
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and so weird that that people who are crazy, weird
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: and completely nutty are noticing this.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: So out of nowhere.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I find myself agree with Laura Luma, Laura Luma, Yes,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Luma Luney Luma Louny.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Laura, Laura Luni, Luma Luma, whatever, right, this is what
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: she tweeted.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Never thought I'd see Republicans give terror financing Muslims from
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Katu a military base on US soil so they can
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: murder Americans. All Right, she's a little exaggerating, but you know,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: I get the sentiment. I don't think I'll be voting
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. I cannot in good conscious make
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: any excuses for the harboring of jihadis.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: This is where I draw the line. Well, I mean,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: this is where Laura Luma draws the line. Laura Luma,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: you know this has gone really far?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: What do the Kataris have on this administration? What do
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: the Gutaris have on the Republicans?
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: How are they managing to do this.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: With very little objection, with nobody raising anything except Lowa Luma. Now,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of on Twitter, there was a
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: lot of surprise at this, But you know Trump is
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: probably paying five D chess or something like that. So yeah,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Lololum is upset. So, yes, there is this Katai bass.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it means. I don't know the details,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: but I'll be training. There's a version of the F
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: fifteen's that especially for Katau, it's an advanced version and
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: they'll be trained in that version, you know, right there.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: In Idaho.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: In Idaho, if you live in Idaho, if you start
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: seeing a bunch of Katari's around, now you.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Know why they are there.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Drill, Baby, Drill has been much of the motto of
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: this administration, at least during the campaign, and a lot
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: of people keep asking me, I mean, what about the deregulation,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: what's going on with these things? And there is a
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: story today. I think it's a very positive story. It's
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: important to note so it also deals with Idaho. I think, no, Montana,
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: North Dakota, and Alaska. Anyway, Congress just voted, the Senate
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: just voted, and the House that voted previously, and Trump
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: will sinus bill that basically expands, repeals or basically repeals
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: restrictions on mining and drilling that the Biden administration passed
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: in Alaska, Montana, and North Dakota. So uh, you know,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: the the Center passed three resolutions, one relating to Montana,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: one not Dakota, and one Alaska. Each of them overturns
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Biden era land management rules that shut down coal, oil
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: and mineral development. So this would be the vast resources
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: of earth materials, for example in these in these areas
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: and uh so uh Trump is gonna sign this, and
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: what we will see is is renewed mining for coal
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: and renewed mining for hopefully for for rare earth materials.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: To get the United States uh independent of China. We
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: also need to be able to build the facilities to
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: refine the materials. Not just enough to mine them, we
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: also have to refine them. But also this is more
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: uh drilling for oil. Of course, it's very hard to
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: drill for oil and oil so cheap, but it's good
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: to have that ability, so it all gets more expensive.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Of the United States or all companies will be able
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: to drill in Alaska and and in some of these
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: some of these other areas. So this is the kind
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: of stuff. This is the good, if you will, the
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: good that comes from the Trump administration and Republicans. They
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: are good on this kind of stuff, this uh mining
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: and uh and and and drilling for oil and overcoming
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: environmental regulations. So this is what you're seeing, the more
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: positive stuff. And I do expect it just takes a
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: long time because once you pass a bill, and then
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: they have to go out and get permits, and then
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: they have to actually probably still some environmental regulations, and
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: then you can actually mine or drill or whatever. But
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: the Trumpet administration is actively trying to make all of
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: that simpler and streamlined. That is the area of environmental
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: regulation and the area of energy.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: And mining.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Where the Trumpet administration is definitely a net positive on
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: the US economy and for the US more broadly. And again,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: this is where if you wanted to get into a
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: fight with China, first you beef up these resources. First,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: you create the capacity to refine with material and the
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: ability to mine it, and then you go to trade will.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: You don't re us that otherwise you lose the trade will,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: which is what's going to happen to the United States.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Jennifer says, the comments keep getting deleted. That's weird. I'm
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: not sure who's the leading him.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: I see all your comments, so they're not being deleted here, yeah,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: I see them.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: All Uh, all right, what's it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: That COVID congestion is still not gone? Super frustrating, all right,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: And this one is just a bizarre story coming out
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: of the Church of England. The Church of England is
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: probably the most left wing church I know of. It's
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: it's massively woke and and and and just just crazy generally.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: And this one was this one, you know, beat everything.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just reading you from a story. A Church of
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: England decided this week to cover the interiors of the
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: oldest cathedral in England in graffiti in order to represent
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the voices of quote marginalized communities. The Dean of Canterbury
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: is the cathedral said quote there is a rawness which
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: is magnified by the graffiti style, which is disruptive. It
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: is unfiltered and not sanitized. This exhibit intentionally builds bridges
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: between cultures.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Styles and genres and allows us to.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Receive the gifts of younger people who have much to say. Unquote,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, it turns out they don't really have much
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: to say. Graffiti usually is pretty mindless and pointless and
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: stupid and and really has very little to say and
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: very little to recommend it. It's pretty sad, but it
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: canst I mean, I'd rather have graffiti inside churches than
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: outside outside, I'd be exposed to it. If it's inside,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not going inside unless I have great paintings and
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: a church in England is probably not going to be
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: beautifully decorated. It's not Florence, it's not Rome, it's not
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: even Naples. But yeah, I mean this is pretty. It's
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: pretty disgusting, it's pretty offensive, it's pretty ridiculous. I can
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: see why a lot of Brits would be upset by this.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: And yeah, literally scralling graffiti on the walls of an
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: of the Cannabury Cathedral is somehow good, somehow beautiful, somehow.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Graffiti typically is ugly disruptive.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's all the things that he called it, disruptive
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: and stuff, but not in a good way. It's unfiltered,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: it's not sanitized, and that's not a good thing.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Beauty is important.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you're conveying messages using graffiti, they
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: use the disruptive, anarchistic, anti civilization, anti progress, anti building,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: anti creating kind of messages. But that is the Church
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: of England elevating itself to the level of graffiti.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Powerful stuff. All right.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Finally, finally, bad bad Bunny. I don't know if you're
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: you guys are familiar with bad Bunny. I was not,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: But bad Bunny is is this? Uh, you know, musical.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I guess singer.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Uh phenomena, you know, uh phenomenon.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Uh just a extraordinarily successful uh. One of the biggest
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: stars in the world. And he lives in Puerto Rico.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: He's Puerto Rican. He just did a a during the summer.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: He basically did a residency in Puerto Rico. It's called
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a residency where every Saturday he did a concert in
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Tourist revenue from this shot through the roof.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: People came from all over the country and all over
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: the world to see bad Buddy and to see him perform.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: You know, the style of music Regaton. I think it's
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: something like Regaton. You know, none of my music, don't
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: understand it. He sings in Spanish. He is Puerto Rican
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: and he sings in Spanish. All his music is in Spanish.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Again he is.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: He is really a huge He just did a you know,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: this residency. The last show was live streamed globally and
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: it had seventy seven million No sorry that that that's
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: is generally anyway. It was I think the largest concert
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: ever streamed, did a more p but listening than any
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: other concept ever in the history of streaming concerts. He
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: has seventy seven million monthly listeners on Spotify, which makes
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: him at least one of the most streamed artists in
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I mean is everybody knows him.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I travel all over Europe and Israel in places like that,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: and I mentioned for Puerto Rico, and the first thing
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: people say is Bad Bunny. They think Bad Bunny is cool.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you he doesn't think bad Bunny is cool,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and that is mag Now.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Bad Bunny is like many artists, like many musicians, is
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: a leftist.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I think he's a big advocate of the Puerto Rican independence.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: He is a critic of the United States, a critic
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump. He is I don't know if he's
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: taking a position on the Palestinian thing, but I.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Right as I was saying, I'm just looking at this
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: new story, it says that he did thirty one shows
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: during the residency here in Puerto Rico. Thirty one shows
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: that injected they say, seven hundred million dollars into the
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rican economy.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: So he's good for Puerto Rico anyway.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: He is being chosen to perform in the halftime show
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: during the Super Bowl in January, so Bad Bonny will
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: be the live performer during the Super Bowl. Anyway, Maga
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: is flipping out, flipping out. He doesn't sing in English,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: he sings in Spanish. How insulting is that to Maga.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're just fuming he is anti Ice. She's
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: really anti all the deportations. So MAGA is threatening to
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: deport him even though he is an American citizen by
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: fact that he's Puerto Rican.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: The the thing.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: To deport all his fans at the super Bowl.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: You know who knows. Anyway, they're flipping out.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Trump has coming on this, and he's objected, although he
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: seems to be a little mild uh than than the
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: rest of the Trump said, I I never heard of him.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know who he is. I don't know why
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: they're doing it. This is the NFL. It's crazy. I
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: think it's absolutely ridiculous. So so yeah, but but he
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't quite as angry.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: As many of his mega supporters about this.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: But but yeah, there's a big crisis within the MAGA world,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: uh and a rejection of the NFL.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: They might they might boycott the NFL.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: They're going to make the NFL into the Super Bowl,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: into bud Light And by the way, Bad Bunny is
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio and as I said, born in
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico and as such a US citizen, he's thirty
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: He recently hosted Saturday Night Live. Yeah, I mean he's
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: a big shot.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: He's a big shot, but he's Latino and he sings
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: in Spanish and that's unacceptable to Mega, and they are
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: flipping out, which should make I think the halftime show
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: quite entertaining, just to see Mega being upset and and
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: and flipping out over it. So anyway, we'll wait and
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: see how that story develops.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: All right, that is the news for this October.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Tenth fight Fday, October tenth, and I will move to
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: your super check questions. I'll just say we don't have
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: many at this point. I know some of you are
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: probably going to come in with more, but we don't
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: have many at this point. So there's a lot of
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: opportunities to ask questions. We have not reached our first
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: hour goal yet, even though we're five minutes away from
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: that ending from completing that first hour, so please consider
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: jumping in with some questions and some stickers and some
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: support so.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: That we make our numbers today.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: At least let's make the first hour the first hour goal,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: if not the second hour goal. And yeah, let me
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: remind you of a few things. We have three sponsors
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: for Theron book show. Alex Epstein is the world expert
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: on things.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Like mining.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: And and and and drilling and getting resources out of
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the ground and freeing all that up. He both has
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: a solid philosophical foundation on kind of how to structure
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: property rights around that, and about the role of government
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: and what the role of government should be when it
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: comes to when it comes to extracting resources out of
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: the ground, and a real I think is a real
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: influence on the Trump administration in terms of deregulating and
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: getting getting our mining industry getting the permits and getting
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: the permissions so they can go out and actually mine
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: and do it is necessary to bring the resources to bear.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: You should support him and you should follow him. You
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: should support what he does. But also you will learn
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: a huge amount from him. There's nobody you will learn

  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how many rational business would answer,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: but there's no reason for it to be criminal because
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: it would be legal, so it might not be the
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: most rational, the most able, the most productive, the most innovative.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Bet it would not be.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Criminal anymore, so prices would come down dramatically. It would
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: be a lot easier to get the advantage of participating
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: in it. From criminal perspective would go away, so you
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't prices would come down, profitability would come down. Profitability
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: would go to close to zero. It would be a commodity,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: and therefore there would be very little profitability in it.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: So nobody would want to engage.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: In criminal activity because criminal activity is risky, and you're
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: only willing to engage in criminal activity because the profit
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: margins are so high. But given that it would be legal,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: profitability would be out. Now I don't see why. Ultimately,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have large chains carrying a certified uh and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: and and uh what do you call it? A guaranteed
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: refined at a certain level and everything cocaine for example,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: or heroin or whatever. That way, you would get quality control,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: so you'd have a lot less ods.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be laced with fent and all.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Because now people who would sell it would have a
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: kind of reputational capital involved in selling high quality cocaine
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: or heroin or whatever it is. You'd have an entire
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: industry a rising to deal with and to accommodate people
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: trying to get off of an addiction.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Just like we got a huge industry of.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Tools to get off of nicotina nicotine addiction, you would
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: get a massive industry wising to get us to get
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: people off of cocaine and heroin addictions. That would become
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: a lot easier and a lot smooth to do. I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: just don't think there would be that many odes. I mean, look,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: it would be hopable if unborn children were born with dependents,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: but there would also be technologies to get.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Them off of that dependence. And the responsibility for that
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: ultimately is with the mothers.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: And just like mothers shouldn't drink alcohol when they're pregnant,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: they shouldn't smoke, and they shouldn't take certain drugs. It's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: not like we're preventing them from doing that today just
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: by making it illegal. Plenty of babies are born unfortunately
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: dependent on some of these. I think fewer would be
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: dependent because it would be much easier to talk about,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: information about it would be much more open. Pregnant mothers
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: would be encouraged not to take drugs. Drugs wouldn't be
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: such a taboo. In terms of crime committed under the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: influence of drugs. I'll just note that most drugs are downers.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Most drugs don't encourage you to go out.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: And commit crimes.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: More crimes are committed under the influence of alcohol than
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: under the influence of drugs. But the fundament of point
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: is you should get penalized for the crime that you commit, not.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Whether you are under the influence or not.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we should be very tough on criminals
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: independent of whether they want drugs, are alcohol, or any
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: other excuse they might have for committing the crime. They
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: should be penalized for the crime. So I just don't
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: see the downside. And the upside is massive. The upside
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: is a massive reduction in crime because a lot of
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: crime today occurs because rugs are so expensive and people
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: commit crimes in order to get the money to pay
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: for their drug habits. If it was cheap, that goes away.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of crime is committed because of gang competition,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: warfare over markets, and you know, and this is very
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: violent crime that often involves the death and injury to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: people who are bystanders, you know, uh, shootings in Chicago
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: and shootings where bypass bypasses, just innocent people are killed.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: All the consequences of the drug war.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about most of the motives in the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: United States in my view of consequence of the drug war,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: and and that's certainly the case in the rest of
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: in Latin America. I mean, I think you would see
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: thousands of people thousands of fewer murtives as a consequence.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: If you legalize the strait, the cartels would basically lose
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: most of the revenue that they receive, So it would
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: it would be a massive, massive change. And of course,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: the fundamental points.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Here is.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: It's not of anybody's business what I choose to or
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: not choose to put in my body. Freedom demands that
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: they have a right to do things that are un popular,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: even destructive, even suicidal. That's what liberty and freedom mean.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: We should be willing to defend the right of people
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: to use drugs. But much more important than that, I mean,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: think of how I'll corrupt the police are because of drugs,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: because there's so much money in it, and if it's
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: so corrupting, all of that goes away.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: The police get a focus on real crime where they
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: are real victims.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think drug legalization would be huge, huge benefit.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Oil w oliw thank you for the stick of buck
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: ninety nine or that's a pound ninety nine.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: It's more than two dollars.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: Alan, thank you for the buck ninety nine. And Linda,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: thank you for the two dollars.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's keep the two dollars going. Guys, just
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: five of those and we get to our first our goal.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: We're two hundred and forty another ten dollars with the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: two our goal. Please make at the very least that possible.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Ryan, What is the likelihood that Israel reverts
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: to the non aggression of the decade prior to October
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: seventh attack? What will cause them to proactively defend themselves
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: against the next build up of terrorism in the Middle East?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: It's inevitable, now, you know. I don't think it's inevitable,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: not anytime soon. Maybe in the very long run. Maybe
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: they'll be lulled to sleep. But I think the memory
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: of just how bad October seventh was and a two
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: year war that followed, will keep.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: Israelis on their toes. I do not think they will
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: vote back.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: To the you know, the just acceptance of whatever the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Palestinians want that OC could in the past. Now you know,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: the very fact that this deal is happening and that
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: they're not going out there and winning and crushing the
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: enemy and all of that is not a good sign.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: But I do think on the defensive end, I think Israel's.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: Going to be much more poor active at least for
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: the next ten years, and that I'll buy them a
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: lot of time because look, it took come Us a
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: long time to build up its capabilities, and being poor
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: active in the next few years is going to buy
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Israel a lot of time. And again, it's already in
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: a much better position because of what it did in Lebanon,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: because of what it did in Iran, that it's going
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: to be much harder for the Palestinians to do anything.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan also says.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Will the new book call out Christianity for its anti
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: like principles? When Intellecxos promote that the founding if Anny
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Fathers is Christian, it turns my stomach. The rationalization happened, escape,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: The rationalization happening escapes people at the perpetual level. Perceptual level, Yeah,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: I mean Look, the book is not going to be
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: a screed on anti It's not going to list everything
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: wrong with Christianity.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: That's not the purpose of the book.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be call out every anti life
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: aspect of Christianity.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna it's gonna deal with the.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Biggies, the big ones, and and you know, it's familiarly,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: it's the anti reason and the anti happiness, the anti
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: uh individual happiness, individual rights aspects of Christianity. And you know,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: in in contrast to the the fact that the very
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: foundations of Western civilization, the very idea of Western civilization,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: is grounded on reason and individualism. It's reason and the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: pursuit of happiness, and that is incompatible.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Fundamentally with Christianity.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: And there for Christianity cannot be respond answerable for the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: West cannot be the fund founding ideology of the West.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: So it's it's gonna really try.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: To nail that.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: And and look, the books dollar work in progress. It
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: won't literally be finished until middle of next year, and
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: then who knows how long it'll take to get published
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: after that. But we are in the posts of getting
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: an agent and then getting a publisher and hopefully we'll
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: get a publisher this year and be ready for publication
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: sometime next year, late next year. All right, Thank you
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Robert for the for the buck ninety nine. Thank you
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Nick for the two dollars. Thank you Christos for the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: pounds ninety nine. Appreciate appreciate that. Andrew with a twenty
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: dollars question follow up into my question regarding laziness in
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: the culture a reference point. You've said, how young people
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: now ask you why they need to work, whereas they
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: didn't used to a healthy culture, wouldn't young people want
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: to work? Yes, But that's not an issue of laziness.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: That's an issue of just complete intellectual corruption. That is
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: the issue that I've talked about many many times, of
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: placing emotions above everything else, about facts, above reality, above existence.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: The whole way they phrase it is why can't they
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: do what they feel like doing? Why can't they just
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: pursue their hobbies? Why can't they hobbies be funded? And
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: that's not a consequence of laziness, that's a consequence of
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: the they be taught that their emotions are primary. That
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: there's absolutely no reason in the rich world in which
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: we live why everybody can't live in a Marxist utopia.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: What we each do, just do what we feel like doing,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: and stuff production the need our needs. I just met
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: magic by whatever, by robots, I guess in the future.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: And so it's just the elevation of emotion and Marxist
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: utopianism above all else. I don't think this is essentially
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: driven by a laziness to work, Tessa, what are the
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: nations getting from Trump for this peace deal? Well, I
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: mean different nations are getting different things, right, I mean,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: Kato got a defense treaty, right, they got they got
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: a a Auticle five, a NATO like Article five where
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: any enemy of Kata is the United States enemy and
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: the United States is dedicated to defending Katto treaty.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: You know, Uh, Turkey expects to get F thirty fives.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: They expect to be allowed to purchase F thirty fives
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: in the United States. Right now they're barred from purchasing it.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: Egypt once economic and military help, and it wants it
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: wants to view to be viewed by its own people
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: and by the world. Is having a good relationship with
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: the United States. It's in a tricky position visa of
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: its own population and the rest of it. So each
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: one of them wants something different, and Trump is quite
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: happy to give it to them, quite happy to give
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: it to them. I think it's likely Turkey will get
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: there thirty fives. I mean, Trump certainly seems inclined to
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: give Turkey they have thirty fives, Linda.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Says, Happy at Lashark publication day.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in nineteen forty seven, right, is that right?
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: What am I talking about? Nineteen fifty seven today?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: October ten, nineteen fifty seven at the Shark was published,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: So that is I can do the math. Something a
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: long time ago.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: What is it? Seventy eight years ago? And yeah, the book.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: That changed the world certainly changed my world.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure changed many of your worlds.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: Christos, I do not understand why people are saying that
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Trump plays forty chess.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Trump does not even know what chess is.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't think he can play two
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: D games, never mind.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Three D or four y or anything like that. I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: agree with you completely.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: He's not very smart, he's not very intelligent, he's not
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: very knowledgeable. He is a Yeah, no, no chess at
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: all for Trump.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: But they have to.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Explain his behavior, which is often borderline moronic. And the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: only way for them to explain why he's behaving in
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: a moronic way is to say, ah, you're just not
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: spawned enough to get how sophisticated what he's doing really is.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, we're almost out of question, So if
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: you'd like to ask a question, now is the time
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: to jump in with one. If you'd like to support
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: the show, now is the time to support the show.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: We're going to row two dollars stickers, so I feel free.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Gail did a five dollars sticker, Thank you, Gail, so
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: jump in, but also twenty dollars, fifty dollars, hundred dollars.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Questions are.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Eagerly, eagerly accepted, celebrated, welcome, so that we can chip
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: away at our goals here. All right, Michael says, astounding
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: how college professors, people who have never produced a good
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: or service anyone ever wanted or needed, have the power
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: to destroy society. Yeah, because society is ultimately built and
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: destroyed by ide and like it or not, the people
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: who deal in ideas, the people who trade ideas, are
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: intellectually many of whom are college professors, and therefore they
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: have a way disproportionate impact on what happens in the world,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: because once you understand all of ideas, Yeah, ideas shape history,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: shape the world.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: Not elite Runner.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the sticker, Rafel, thank you for the sticker. Aim,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: thank you for the sticker. You guys are great. Thank
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: you really appreciate it. Can Atiniau win re election if
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: all twenty hostages come back our life?
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be close.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of criticism of Deftennielle that a lot
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: of people don't like him, and the Israeli politics is
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: quite combative and there are a lot of political parties
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: and there's going to be a lot of jockeying for position.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: You know, there's as I've said many times before, there's
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: not that much disagreement about issues within Israeli politics. Uh,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: there's just uh, there's just a lot of there's not
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of disagree about issues. There's just a lot
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: of disagreement about personalities.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: And Israeli politics is.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Driven by personalities, and who knows what the next election
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: will bring. I think enough to leave Bennett's political party
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: at least in polls. I saw before the deal was
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: leading in the polls would be bigger than then Tenniel Uh,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean anything. Antonio always overperforms in elections
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: relative to the polls, so we'll see what happens. Only
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: do you think open immigration is beneficial if the immigrants
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: do not share Western values or have no intention of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: integrating into local culture. I do, because I don't think
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: it matters what their intention is. I think what matters
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: is whether they integrate or not. And I see, you know,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: particularly in the United States now again might be different
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: on Islam for a variety of reasons we've talked about
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: with regard to Islam, but clearly in the United States
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: where Islam is not an issue.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Because they're just it's such a small minority of immigrants.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: Immigrants integrate, they assimilate, whether they intend to assimilate or not.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: They assimilate.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: They've got to get a job in order to because
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: they're not getting you know that they shouldn't get welfare.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: A job requires them to learn English, and it requires
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: them ultimately to assimilate, and their kids go to school.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Their kids want to learn English because they want jobs,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: and they assimilate. So yes, the integration happens whether they
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: want it or not. And it happens within a generation
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: or two, so I have no worries about that. The
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: only worry I have is of the Islamist immigration when
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: the West, you know, what do you call it, capitulates
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: to them, does not insist in assimilation and and actually
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: helps radicalize them and appease them at every opportunity. If
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're going to have Muslim immigrants, then
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: you should also have regular cartoons of Mohammad in your
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: local press.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: It should be regular.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Every newspaper in Europe should be required to have at
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: least one Muhammed cartoon on its pages every week. That's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: how you treat Muslims with respect. You demand for them
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: the same kind of attitude towards free speech, the same
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: kind of attitude towards controlling the emotions that everybody else has,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: and that'll ultimately that's how they'll assimilate. But if you
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: refuse to publish Muhammad cartoons in order to not offend
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: their Islamic sensibilities, then you're in trouble. Then they won't assimilate.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Then you know you're only emboldening the worst elements within
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: their culture.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: Roberts says, here's the land Peacock's essay.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: Then only synthetic dichotomy put in an introduction to objectives
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: to prismology, the essay that answered my last big philosophical
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: question and so fully.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: Won me over to objectives.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: And wow, I mean, that's betty impressive Robert, that that
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: was a philosophical objection you had. It's a pretty sophisticated
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: philosophical issue.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: And god, I didn't know it was an issue.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: I discovered it was an issue by reading that essay.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: But that's how little I knew about philosophy more broadly,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: when I discovered objectivism.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: Luckily, I discovered objectivism.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: And learned philosophy through that rather than the other way around.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: But that's pretty amazing, Jennifer. Could a mom who gives
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: birth to a crack baby be accused of child abuse?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe, I mean good points.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: I'd have to think about it, but maybe, yeah, maybe
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: that'll be part of how we disincentivize it from happening.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: But yes, I mean she's caused palm to the baby,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: physical harm.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Is reasonable, all right.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: I like numbers.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: You said that Katcha bombing and squeezing Gaza City led
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: to the deal. Do you believe Harris would have given
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: Israel justice free a hand with her base. No, probably not.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: Israel might have done it anyway. It's not clear would
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Israel have done the whole ran thing? Would Israel have
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: done anyway? Would Israel have gone in anyway? I mean, remember,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Biden didn't want Israel to go to a Raphai. He
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: didn't want them to go to the to take over
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Cardo.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: He didn't want them to do.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: A lot of things Israel did in spite of that,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Biden didn't want them to go into South Lebanon, wanted
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: to hamper their ability to fight Chrisbella.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: They did it anyway. So how much Harris would have
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: been able to control the Israelis I don't know.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the fact that the fact that Trump gave
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: Israel a much freeer hand is very good of the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: one of the good things that Trump has done. H
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: Linda says, did you get a chance to read Adultry
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: by Quinn?
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: No? I haven't yet. I haven't yet. It's on my list.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: I am way behind on that list, and I've got
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: stuff that people have paid me to read which I
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: have to read still. So yeah, hopefully the list will
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: get small up in the next few months. Dad Yanna
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Dan says, Hey, Ron, I discovered you from your conversation
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: with Destiny. Wow, and have been watching regularly for a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: while now. That's fantastic. Don't always agree with you, but
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: I respect your integrity and commitment to the fact. That's great.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: I do encourage you to read I RAND. I think
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: that's that's my main selling point. The thing I want
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: people to really do once they discovered me is to
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: read I RAND. You know, it gives a really full
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: of understanding what I'm about and what this is all about,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: and it'll have a much more profound impact I think
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: on you. But yeah, I'm glad you're here. Thanks, thanks
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: for being here. I'm glad you don't agree with everything
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: I say. That would be weird. If you just discovered
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: me and suddenly you agree with everything I say, that
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: would not be That would not abode well for you.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: So the fact that you're that I'm challenging you and
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: some things you don't agree, that's great. That that's a
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: sign that just still thinking about these things, you're not
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: just accepting them all right. Refel says Hi Ron, I
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: hope you're feeling better, a little better still.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: This thing is dragging, which pisses me off. Anyway, could you.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Explain what pre Raphaelite brotherhood was they started, help context
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: behind it and how it connects with Romanticism.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Oh god, that's.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: A biggie raphael I mean the pre Raphile Lights were
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: a school of basically painters, although there was some sculpture
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: and some poetry, but mainly painters in the United Kingdom
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: in Britain in the nineteenth century.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: It was a small.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: Group of friends really who developed ideas and they were
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: rebelling against some of the formalism that was coming out
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: of the academy. Uh, you know, they were rebelling against
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: the formalism of the French Academy and the British Academy,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: the Latent and the Almati Damas of the world, and
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: and and they were they were, you know, they wanted
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: to go to a period of much more emotion being
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: expressed in painting, less rigidity, less formal formal. They called
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: themselves pre Raphaelites because they wanted to go back to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: the Renaissance, not pre Renaissance, but pre Raphael Rafael who'd
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: elevated painting to a new level and then for a
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: whole period everybody tried to mimic Raphael.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: They wanted to go to a.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: Period in which there was there was more spontaneity and
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: more emotion in the paintings.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Uh. Philosophically they were pretty bad. I think there were
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: elements of Romanticism there.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: The emphasis and emotion is certainly an element that the
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: Romantic painters ailed on too, So there were definitely elements
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: of that. And and the paintings are quite beautiful. I'm
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: a big fan of many of their paintings and many
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: of the things that they did. There's actually an amazing
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: pre refral collection of painting here in Puerto Rico, of
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: all places, in a place called Ponce on the on
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: the western shore of or the southern shore of Puerto Rico.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: So there's a really nice collection here.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: But and if you go to the Tate Britain, the Tate.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Museum in Britain, there's a huge collection of pre refle
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: A paintings there.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm a huge fan of their paintings.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: They a lot of it is quite romantic, if you will,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: and emotional, Uh, it very much is an a they
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: tell they're telling in a sense of emotional stories or.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: This style.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: Is it's not hyper realistic, which is good, but it's
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: definitely it's definitely figurative. I mean you definitely, it's it's people. Uh,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: they emphasize the thing that needs to be emphasized. I
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: mean it's hard to talk about them without showing you paintings.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm I'm a fan, and and they are
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: I think, a style of romanticism. I would not consider
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: maxueal Parish a pre Raphileite. And Einrand generally did not
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: like Maxis Parish. She thought he was more of an
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: illustrator than a real artist. I mean, just google pre
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Raphaileites and you can. You can find a lot of
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: their paintings online. Andrew, I agree with you. The fundamentally
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: emotionalism is destroying the youth just will to work. How
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: do you think that affects un self esteem caused by
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: false philosophy also effectory. Well, remember, I don't know that
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: it's their will to work, right, because one of the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: things they say is, oh, I want to pursue my hobby,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: which they might work very hard at.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: It's the lack of necessity to be productive. They don't
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: see the point of being productive and that's just pure emotionalism.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: They also have no self esteem because of the emotionalism,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: so emotionalism is undermined at I think they're afraid of
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: the world, the fate of the productive world, the fate
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: of the business world, the faith.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: They won't fit in their faith.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: They won't be successful, and they don't want to They
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: they don't want to challenge themselves. They don't want to
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: be out there. They don't understand how you gain self esteem.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: They don't understand where self esteem comes from. Again, all
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: the focus of being as being on all the focus
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: is being on their own emotions and and and that's shuts.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: They do not have the tools to actually deal with
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: the world. So their self esteem is completely shot. And
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: because they won't go to work, or because they only
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: resentfully go to work, they won't be have an opportunity
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: to recoup that self esteem. H Linda says, enjoy it
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: when you do. Part three of Adult treat being released soon. Great,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: that is exciting. I'm looking forward to that so I'll
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: be able to read all three. I want to have
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: to wait for the third installment when I read the
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: first two uh in a in a in a Chao
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: do public schools help immigrant kids integrate. Imagine them going
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: to private schools run by found governments, as we see
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: the case with higher education. I mean today, the answer
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: is no, they don't because they're taught multiculturalism. They taught
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: their cultures are just as good as American culture. That
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: they're taught in their native language. Sometimes they're not encouraged
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: to assimilate. And indeed, the kind of American history that's
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: being taught as anti American, so that they don't something,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: they don't have something to look up to, which is
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: what education should provide them with.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, in a proper society, private schools would be
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: educating them and would be a major tool for assimilation.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: We just live in a in a world where that
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: is not the case. It's a hindrance dissimilation. Hindrance dissimilation rationale.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: P says, there's no Golts culture. What is the best
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: country or city and an objective for an objectives to
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: live in today? And why there is no such thing? Right,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: there is no such thing. It really depends on you,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: and I've talked about this often on the show. It
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: depends on your values, It depends on what you want
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: in a city, what you want in a country. The
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: differences between them are not that great as to say, no,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: there's no way.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: You could ever live in California and be an objectivest No.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are things about California that are good
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: that things in California are bad, And you have to
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: decide based on your personal values what outweighs what. And
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: that's true of whether they live in New York or
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: the way they live in Puerto Rico as I do,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: or where the other place, or Monaco or Florence or London.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: It depends on your personal.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: Values and the fit between your personal values and that
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: particular place at that particular time. So there is no
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: one place that is going to fit all of us.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of people like Austin, Texas. Some people hate Austin, Texas.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: It depends on you and your values.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: How important is weather to you? How important is.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: The state of the government's local government or the state
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: government or the city government.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: How on putting is culture to you? On put a
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: symphony orchestra to you, How important is the roads, the
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: restaurant's scene, things like that. I mean, there's a million
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: different things.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: And of course job opportunities, Thank you, Rational ip Vikum,

• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: you for the sticker, appreciate it. Oh Andrews just coming
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: in with a question. He says, a senior management told
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: me to have fun with my files. I thought it
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: was strange, but it was good advice. Actually, one doesn't
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: have to work on Puritan grounds. One can allow oneselves
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: to have fun. Absolutely much of work can. It should
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: be fun, and you can make it fun. You can
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: find ways to challenge yourself in a variety of different
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: ways that make the grind, even the grindiest.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Kind of work fun.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, not everything is going to be
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: that way, but you can find ways to do that.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: You can find ways to do that.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: And I think a good boss A good boss to
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: somebody who challenges as people not just to do the
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: best work that they can, but also to enjoy it
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: while they're doing it to find ways to have fun
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: doing it. All right, guys, have a fantastic week, and
• 1:33:00
