- 0:33Speaker 1: of the own book Show. And we're becoming the news.
- 0:37Speaker 1: The news today of from from the perspective of the
- 0:42Speaker 1: greatness of the American funding principles, the idea of individual rights,
- 0:47Speaker 1: the ideas of capitalism and freedom, and a world that
- 0:55Speaker 1: does not tolerate authoritarians and bullies and guys, the world
- 1:01Speaker 1: that strives towards liberty and freedom, capitalism and the protection
- 1:05Speaker 1: of individual rights. And we're going to start We're going
- 1:10Speaker 1: to start today with some segments out of a speech
- 1:14Speaker 1: that the Linski made, I guess this morning in Davos.
- 1:22Speaker 1: One of my favorite Davos speeches, My favorite all time
- 1:25Speaker 1: is the one related a couple of years ago. But
- 1:28Speaker 1: but this this one was good. So I'm going to
- 1:30Speaker 1: show you some uh segments, show segments out of it
- 1:35Speaker 1: in no particular order, well, in some particular order, but
- 1:40Speaker 1: and uh, I think that the theme that running through
- 1:43Speaker 1: this is European weakness, and his his is kind of
- 1:48Speaker 1: basically tiding of Europe for being so weak. Uh and uh,
- 1:54Speaker 1: let me see, I think I have all the bits
- 1:57Speaker 1: that I wanted. Yeah, all right, I think we have
- 2:08Speaker 1: them all. Uh and and so we'll cover those and
- 2:12Speaker 1: then we'll get into some of the other we'll get
- 2:15Speaker 1: into some of the other topics. Uh as as the
- 2:21Speaker 1: title suggests, the title covers the topics, might add a
- 2:24Speaker 1: topic of two, but we'll see. Remember, you can ask
- 2:29Speaker 1: me questions or make comments. Is a feature on on
- 2:34Speaker 1: YouTube qulled super chat. You can put a dollar amount
- 2:36Speaker 1: to your question to highre the dollar amount that earlier
- 2:39Speaker 1: in the show I answered the question. I generally answer everything.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I read everything that is submitted, even the insulting questions,
- 2:48Speaker 1: but I do it approximately in the order, not in
- 2:52Speaker 1: which they're submitted, in the order of dollar that is
- 2:56Speaker 1: attached to the questions. So feel free to do that.
- 2:59Speaker 1: SOS way to support, oh to wait a value for
- 3:01Speaker 1: value trade with me. All right, Let's go to Zelinsky.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Let's go to Zelensky. Let's start here with this is
- 3:15Speaker 1: really the opening of his speech. Let's start with that.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Let me know if there's an issue to volume or
- 3:22Speaker 1: anything like that.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And just last year here in Doubles, I ended my
- 3:31Speaker 2: speech with the words Europe needs to know how to
- 3:36Speaker 2: defend itself. A year has passed and nothing has changed.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, we've been talking about this on
- 3:47Speaker 1: this show for a long time, particularly given Trump Ukraine
- 3:51Speaker 1: more generally, Europe needs to figure out how to defend itself.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It's there's a threat, a real threat, not a potent threat,
- 3:58Speaker 1: and that threat is represented by Russia. It's right there.
- 4:03Speaker 1: It has manifested in Russia's invasion into Ukraine, and Europe
- 4:08Speaker 1: is still in a position of subservians and dependence on
- 4:12Speaker 1: the United States, the United States. You know, if if
- 4:17Speaker 1: put In evades Lithuania tomorrow or Latvia Estonia, what is
- 4:22Speaker 1: what is Europe going to do other than turned to
- 4:25Speaker 1: the United States to say, please come help us, come
- 4:28Speaker 1: save us. It's long past time for Europe to develop
- 4:34Speaker 1: its own defense strategy, its own capacity, its own capacity
- 4:39Speaker 1: to defend itself. And us Zelenski is calling them out
- 4:44Speaker 1: on this. Here's he's kind of making fun of Europeans.
- 4:48Speaker 1: And you know, but one hundred percent to the point,
- 4:52Speaker 1: and a point that I made maybe is a Lensky's
- 4:54Speaker 1: listening to my show. Who knows a point I made
- 4:57Speaker 1: just a few days ago. This is about the troops
- 5:01Speaker 1: that Europe is sending to Greenland.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Send forty or forty soldiers to Greenland?
- 5:13Speaker 1: Shiky?
- 5:13Speaker 2: Is that?
- 5:14Speaker 1: What is that for?
- 5:16Speaker 2: What the message does it send? What's the message to
- 5:22Speaker 2: put in to China? And even more importantly, what message
- 5:28Speaker 2: does it send to Denmark?
- 5:31Speaker 1: The most important? Your close allie, So yeah, what are
- 5:37Speaker 1: you doing? Some symbolic thing here? You're sending a few
- 5:40Speaker 1: you know, one guy from the Netherlands and two guys
- 5:42Speaker 1: from Finland, and what is that? What is that? You know?
- 5:46Speaker 1: Get your act together if you want to send troops
- 5:48Speaker 1: to Greenland, sent troops to Greenland, show you serious about
- 5:52Speaker 1: defending Greenland from Russian threat if there is one, or
- 5:55Speaker 1: an American threat if there is one. It's virtue signing.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It's meaningless, it's nothing. And good for Zelenski for calling
- 6:04Speaker 1: them out on it. Now, you know, this is this
- 6:09Speaker 1: is fun because this is he's calling. Now he's gonna
- 6:14Speaker 1: call Europe out for just the cowardice. The coward is
- 6:18Speaker 1: in facing Trump, the cowardice in facing everybody else, uh,
- 6:23Speaker 1: Turkey or Greece so or anything anything associated with anything
- 6:27Speaker 1: the Europeans are cowards. So here's Zelensky on what you're
- 6:36Speaker 1: not allowed to talk about in Europe.
- 6:39Speaker 2: And here in Europe we are advised not to mention tomahawks,
- 6:47Speaker 2: not to mention tomahawks to the Americans, not to spoil
- 6:53Speaker 2: the mood.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Not to spoil the mood. I love that anyway.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I'm told not to bring up Taurus smissiles. When the
- 7:02Speaker 2: subject is Tourkia. Diplomats say, don't offend Greece. When is
- 7:08Speaker 2: Greece they say, be careful with Tourkia. In Europe, dra
- 7:13Speaker 2: and less internal arguments and things left unset that stop
- 7:18Speaker 2: Europe from uniting and speaking honestly enough to find real solutions.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And too often Europeans torn against each other, leaders, parties, movements,
- 7:30Speaker 2: and communities instead of standing together to stop Russia, which
- 7:36Speaker 2: brings the same destruction to everyone.
- 7:39Speaker 1: And so I like them. Is Lensky mostly echoing Trump
- 7:47Speaker 1: in this speech, Not at all. Tom is talking about
- 7:50Speaker 1: some completely other issue. Who got in Europe. Zelenski is
- 7:53Speaker 1: actually saying, why can't you stand up to America? Why
- 7:57Speaker 1: can't you stand up to Russia? I mean in another
- 8:01Speaker 1: part of the street. He says, you know, Europe has
- 8:04Speaker 1: a much higher GDP than Russia. It has much more
- 8:08Speaker 1: sophisticated weapons systems in Russia. It could crush Russia like
- 8:11Speaker 1: that if not for nukes. Why isn't you have standing
- 8:16Speaker 1: up to Russia? White? Won't you stand up to America? White?
- 8:19Speaker 1: Isn't he allowed to mention tomawks because it might change,
- 8:22Speaker 1: it might affect Trump's mood. So he's criticizing. He's criticizing
- 8:27Speaker 1: you for something very, very different than what Trump is
- 8:31Speaker 1: criticizing Europe. The fact that both criticizing Europe does not
- 8:34Speaker 1: make them the same. It's completely different. And I mean
- 8:43Speaker 1: Trump is criticizing U of accepting immigrants. That's not Zelensky's point.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Zilensky's point is you're weak. You don't need to be weak.
- 8:53Speaker 1: You shouldn't be weak. You're not indeed in reality weak,
- 8:57Speaker 1: but you act weak because you fight among each other.
- 9:00Speaker 1: You can't come to any kind of consensus, and you cower.
- 9:04Speaker 1: You cower before the Americans, you cower before the before
- 9:07Speaker 1: the the Russians, you call before the Chinese, and you
- 9:10Speaker 1: have no mal backbone stand up for yourself. I mean,
- 9:19Speaker 1: Trump is saying Europe should invest more in its defense.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Again not not Zelenski's points. Lensky's point is you're already powerful.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So no, there's nothing. There's no similarity here in the
- 9:35Speaker 1: Zelenski's oaching Europe to stand up to America. Now here's
- 9:46Speaker 1: where I think it. Really he's really good. Uh and
- 9:52Speaker 1: as far as I know so far, the only leader
- 9:55Speaker 1: that I've heard talk about this, and here he talks
- 9:57Speaker 1: about Elon and again in the context up European weakness.
- 10:04Speaker 1: As for run.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Everyone is waiting to see what America will do, and
- 10:10Speaker 2: the World Office nothing, europe Office nothing and doesn't not
- 10:14Speaker 2: want to.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Enter this issue.
- 10:16Speaker 2: At the support of the Iranian people and the democracy
- 10:19Speaker 2: they need. But when you refuse to help people fighting
- 10:23Speaker 2: for freedom, the consequences retort, and they are always negative.
- 10:30Speaker 1: When you yep, so he's calling them out. You're not
- 10:35Speaker 1: supporting you On, you're not talking about IVON. You refuse
- 10:38Speaker 1: to give the demonstrator as any kind of amount of sanction,
- 10:41Speaker 1: you're not condemning the regime, you're not doing anything. And
- 10:45Speaker 1: this will come back to bite you. You will suffer
- 10:48Speaker 1: the consequences. This this is and again, where do you
- 10:51Speaker 1: see political leaders actually saying there long term consequences to decisions.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Here's more than you one. Let's talk about that.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Or tests in Iran, but they drowned in blood. The
- 11:06Speaker 2: world has not helped enough the Iranian people. And it's true,
- 11:12Speaker 2: it has stood aside in Europe there was Christmas and
- 11:17Speaker 2: New Year celebrations, the seasonal holidays. By the time politicians
- 11:23Speaker 2: came back to work and started forming a position there,
- 11:29Speaker 2: Ayatala has already killed thousands. And what will Iran become
- 11:35Speaker 2: after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, It sends a
- 11:41Speaker 2: clear signal to every bully, killed enough people and you
- 11:45Speaker 2: stay in power.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Much talk. So a little bit of my backbone from
- 11:53Speaker 1: somebody in doubles. It would be Zelenski who presents that
- 12:00Speaker 1: Mael backbone, Not Trump, didn't talk about Evan, not any
- 12:06Speaker 1: of the other leaders. Zelenski ting the European shape up,
- 12:12Speaker 1: gain a backbone, take them all, stand, develop your own
- 12:18Speaker 1: capacity to defend yourselves. You're rich, you don't need America.
- 12:25Speaker 1: But in other bots, this speature says, look, but we
- 12:27Speaker 1: can't trust you for our security guarantees. We have to
- 12:31Speaker 1: have America because they're the only only power available until
- 12:35Speaker 1: Europe wakes up and changes its ways.
- 12:42Speaker 3: And.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Here he is just briefly on the Board a piece.
- 12:48Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Next Today America has launched the Board of Peace. Ukraine
- 12:54Speaker 2: was invited, so was Russia. Belarus though the war hasn't stopped,
- 13:03Speaker 2: and there is not even a sea is fire.
- 13:06Speaker 1: And I have seen who joined.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Everyone had their reasons. But here is the thing. Europe
- 13:16Speaker 2: hasn't even formed a united position on the American idea.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Maybe tonight when the European Council meets, they will decide something.
- 13:27Speaker 2: But the documents were already decided this morning, and tonight
- 13:31Speaker 2: they might also finally decide something on Greenland. But last
- 13:35Speaker 2: night Mark Rudin had spoken to President Trump. Thank you
- 13:38Speaker 2: Mark for your productiveness. America is already changing its position,
- 13:44Speaker 2: but nobody knows exactly how.
- 13:47Speaker 1: So things move faster than we So again is about peace.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Ukraine was invited with those Russian belle woos. So much
- 13:56Speaker 1: for peace. The Lenski said, it's war. A lot of
- 14:01Speaker 1: people who started the war invited to the boat of piece.
- 14:05Speaker 1: What is this? He doesn't want to criticize Trump too much, right,
- 14:10Speaker 1: He's in it. He just met with Trump. This is
- 14:12Speaker 1: right after his meeting with Trump, and he doesn't want
- 14:16Speaker 1: to criticize him too much, but his criticism really is
- 14:18Speaker 1: to Europe, you don't even have a position, you haven't
- 14:22Speaker 1: even decided what you're going to do. Everything, all of
- 14:25Speaker 1: this is everybody's signing. Everything's going ahead, everything's moving forward,
- 14:29Speaker 1: and you're what are you doing. You've got a meeting tonight.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Maybe you'll decide, maybe you want but in the meantime,
- 14:36Speaker 1: the world is moving on and Europe is way back
- 14:39Speaker 1: because they can't make a decision. So to a loge extent,
- 14:44Speaker 1: Zelensky's speech was a massive criticism of Europe. It's inability
- 14:49Speaker 1: to decide, it's inability to act, it's inability, really it's
- 14:54Speaker 1: unwillingness more than anything else, to stand for anything, to
- 14:59Speaker 1: represent anything, and to have any kind of backbone, any
- 15:04Speaker 1: Kinnama backbone. And that applies to America, that a place
- 15:07Speaker 1: to Russia, and that certainly applies to von where they
- 15:11Speaker 1: still don't have a position. So yes, the the you know,
- 15:25Speaker 1: Zelenski is the one would leader that seems to have
- 15:28Speaker 1: the coverage to actually actually call these guys out. It's
- 15:34Speaker 1: always look at the boat a piece a little bit
- 15:37Speaker 1: more carefully, the voter piece was established. Signed. Uh and
- 15:42Speaker 1: it's it's members all came together, uh and uh oh.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Some of the members, not all the members. Some of
- 15:49Speaker 1: the members came together. Absent were Nitanao and Putin, who
- 15:55Speaker 1: both will not come to Switzerland because they're worried about
- 15:57Speaker 1: being arrested because of warrants outstanding for them by the
- 16:02Speaker 1: International Criminal Court. But they went ahead anyway and signed
- 16:10Speaker 1: the document. And these are the members of the Board
- 16:13Speaker 1: of Peace, the Board of Peace, right remember peace, peace
- 16:17Speaker 1: does peace mean anything? Members of the boarder piece Vladimir Putin,
- 16:26Speaker 1: Alexander Lukashenko, Mohammed bin Saliman. That there's the Crown Princes
- 16:32Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia Abdel fata El Sisi, the President of Egypt,
- 16:37Speaker 1: Victor Auban, Prime Minister of Hungary, Rick up Taip el Dogan,
- 16:43Speaker 1: President of Turkey, Mohammed bin Zayed, President of the United
- 16:48Speaker 1: Arab emmertz Shavkat me can't pronounce his name, President oz
- 16:53Speaker 1: Viki Stan Tamin bin Ahmed al Thani, Emir of Kato Kaisi,
- 17:01Speaker 1: Joord Tokayev, the President of Kazakhstan. I think Pakistan is
- 17:10Speaker 1: also joined and is a life member. Pakistan has committed
- 17:12Speaker 1: a billion dollars to the Board of Peace in order
- 17:15Speaker 1: to become a life member. Now, notice is what has
- 17:19Speaker 1: common to all of these really, all of them, every
- 17:21Speaker 1: single one of them. They're all strong men. They are
- 17:24Speaker 1: human rights abusers, individual rights abuses. They're all anti Western one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
- 17:39Speaker 1: seven of the ten I think seven of the ten
- 17:44Speaker 1: a Muslim. Wow, These exactly the people you want solving
- 17:52Speaker 1: departments of the world. These are the people you want
- 17:54Speaker 1: to get together in a group to bring peace to
- 17:57Speaker 1: the world. Peace is a meaningless concept for Donald Trump.
- 18:02Speaker 1: He empties the concept of all content. What does peace
- 18:07Speaker 1: mean when these people are on the Board of Peace?
- 18:12Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin? What does peace means to him? Well, Russian
- 18:18Speaker 1: dominance on its sphere of influence, which, if you believe
- 18:22Speaker 1: Dugan covers all of Europe. What does peace mean to
- 18:29Speaker 1: Old Gan? Well, the re establishment of the Ottoman Empire
- 18:33Speaker 1: and the Khalifats under Turki's rule, and by the way,
- 18:40Speaker 1: you know is actively involved in violence, in the killing
- 18:46Speaker 1: of goods in Syria as we speak. What does it
- 18:50Speaker 1: mean Binhamed Athani, the Emir of Qatar, It means Sunni
- 18:59Speaker 1: Islamism the dominance of the world. Maybe a united front
- 19:02Speaker 1: with Turki to bring about that. Kalifun Now, I don't
- 19:08Speaker 1: want to say anything bad about the president Kazistan. I
- 19:10Speaker 1: don't know. It might be a good guy president of Uzbekistan.
- 19:13Speaker 1: They might be good people. I don't know, although they're
- 19:15Speaker 1: all authoritarian, all of Thebitarians. We know Auban O been
- 19:21Speaker 1: just Oban LCC president of Egypt. Yeah, these are the people.
- 19:30Speaker 1: These are the people that UH are on the board
- 19:36Speaker 1: of Peace. And Trump is there and he's signing, and
- 19:39Speaker 1: he says, he turns around to this group, right this
- 19:42Speaker 1: this group. Putin's not there, but you know, he turns
- 19:44Speaker 1: her out to the group and he said, I like,
- 19:48Speaker 1: if you single one of these, Usually the two or
- 19:52Speaker 1: three or four people I really don't like, but here
- 19:54Speaker 1: I can say, I like, if you single one of them,
- 19:59Speaker 1: I mean the people doesn't like other people, you know
- 20:02Speaker 1: who actually have three countries because what Trump doesn't like
- 20:06Speaker 1: is is the very concept, the very idea of freedom.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I mean countries that weren't there Europe other than Hungary, Canada, UK, Australia.
- 20:27Speaker 1: We still don't know what the status of China is,
- 20:30Speaker 1: whether China will join. Maybe doesn't consider this particular grouping
- 20:36Speaker 1: as worthy enough for it to join. I don't know.
- 20:39Speaker 1: It is a bit of a joke. Additional members of
- 20:43Speaker 1: the Board of Peace who have accepted who might not
- 20:46Speaker 1: have been president. You've got the prime minister of Mongolia,
- 20:51Speaker 1: let me just see, yes, mean Muhammad Shabh Sharif, the
- 20:55Speaker 1: prime minister of Pakistan, the president of Paraguay, the president
- 21:00Speaker 1: of Kosovo, the uh you know, the the Jordan, Indonesia, Bulgaria,
- 21:09Speaker 1: so a few a few you know, Eastern European countries,
- 21:12Speaker 1: Azerbaijan as a jan Jan, the you know again on
- 21:17Speaker 1: a fabitarian place, even if relatively westernized, uh, Amenia, Morocco,
- 21:26Speaker 1: Bahrain so again dominantly Muslim. And I will say sadly, well,
- 21:33Speaker 1: I will say, Israel and Natail is on the boat
- 21:36Speaker 1: a piece supposed. I will say sadly that my favorite
- 21:39Speaker 1: political leader in the world right now is also on
- 21:42Speaker 1: the boat of piece, and that is Amula of Argentina,
- 21:45Speaker 1: who seems to be willing to kind of follow along
- 21:47Speaker 1: with Trump on on whatever he asks, as long as
- 21:52Speaker 1: he gets to do what he wants to do within Argentina.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a political ploy. Uh, Europe is trying
- 22:00Speaker 1: to figure out what their position on this is. But
- 22:04Speaker 1: I don't know why you Western Europe should join. I mean,
- 22:08Speaker 1: this is given the names that I presented, what value
- 22:12Speaker 1: does this entity organization have? Trump has vital power over
- 22:17Speaker 1: its decisions. Trump is the chairman of the Vote for Life.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Even when he stops being President of the United States,
- 22:23Speaker 1: he continues to be President for life, and supposedly he
- 22:27Speaker 1: gets to designate his successor. So just a joke. Now,
- 22:38Speaker 1: the the initial purpose of this vote for Peace is
- 22:43Speaker 1: to oversee the different entities that are going to be
- 22:46Speaker 1: governing governing Gaza, but exactly what that means and what
- 22:55Speaker 1: that entails. But Trump, in the document establishing the Boat
- 22:59Speaker 1: of Peace makes it clear that it goes far beyond Gaza.
- 23:02Speaker 1: And this is supposed to be a boarder piece for
- 23:05Speaker 1: the world. So it's going to be really interesting in
- 23:08Speaker 1: the next three years, you know, of Trump's presidency, maybe longer.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Who knows the extent how much this boarder piece is used,
- 23:18Speaker 1: what it does, how it functions, and if anybody, if
- 23:22Speaker 1: anybody really anybody really cares. The executive board that sits
- 23:28Speaker 1: right on the boarder piece, the executive Board which will
- 23:33Speaker 1: be actually engaged in the rebuilding of Gaza and in
- 23:38Speaker 1: oversight over the of all everything that happens in Gaza
- 23:42Speaker 1: is comprised of Marco Rubio, Steve Whitkov, Jared Kushner, Tony Blair,
- 23:51Speaker 1: former Prime Minister of UK, Mark Owen, the CEO of
- 23:55Speaker 1: Apollo Private Equity, Ajai Banja, the World Bank President Ident
- 24:00Speaker 1: and Robert Gabriel. A I guess a security advice. I
- 24:04Speaker 1: know anything about Robert Gabriel. Uh. Of course there's another entity,
- 24:09Speaker 1: a number of entities here, oh, with some layers of
- 24:16Speaker 1: responsibility vis a vis Gaza. So this, this motive piece
- 24:21Speaker 1: is a sick joke. It means that peace co piece
- 24:26Speaker 1: means not a absolutely nothing in the mind of Donald Trump,
- 24:32Speaker 1: in the mind of anybody who is supportive of of
- 24:36Speaker 1: of this, of this joke or calcature. Uh. And yeah,
- 24:43Speaker 1: I guess, I guess we will see as part of
- 24:44Speaker 1: the VOTI piece, Jared Kushner gave a talk presenting his
- 24:51Speaker 1: vision for Gaza, for the future of Gaza. He showed
- 24:55Speaker 1: a master plan for the future of Gaza now. But
- 25:00Speaker 1: none of this just by the way, none of this
- 25:04Speaker 1: has been authorized by Congress. It's not clear what the
- 25:10Speaker 1: United States responsibility is here. Is this some kind of
- 25:14Speaker 1: treaty obligation that Congress has to ratify? What does you
- 25:19Speaker 1: with Krishna's exact responsibilities? Who under what authority? I guess
- 25:24Speaker 1: the President just appoints him and he can do what
- 25:26Speaker 1: he wants. What is the in what way is the
- 25:32Speaker 1: congressional oversight? There isn't again Congress, a wall completely a
- 25:37Speaker 1: will completely able. Just yeah, it it it is. It
- 25:49Speaker 1: is truly truly insane. Anyway, Jared Kushna presented his plan
- 25:56Speaker 1: and what you see a beautiful buildings and skyscrape and
- 26:00Speaker 1: residential areas and you know, massive, massive development and you know,
- 26:06Speaker 1: all costing ten billion or more, you know, involving you know,
- 26:12Speaker 1: raising Gazan the average annual household income in Gaza to
- 26:20Speaker 1: thirteen thousand within ten years, creating five hundred thousand new
- 26:25Speaker 1: jobs and construction, agriculture, manufacturing, services, and digital economy. One
- 26:29Speaker 1: point five billion dollars in investments in vocational schools for
- 26:33Speaker 1: full labor to train the labor force. Twenty five billion
- 26:38Speaker 1: dollars of investment in building utilities and public public facilities
- 26:45Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Three plus billion dollars of investment
- 26:48Speaker 1: and commercial zones, businesses and everything else. And this is
- 26:54Speaker 1: the plan, This is the plan for the border piece.
- 26:59Speaker 1: This is what they're going to do. They're gonna rebuild Gaza. Also,
- 27:03Speaker 1: coming out of the discussions about Gaza border piece and
- 27:06Speaker 1: stuff was the comment of you know, yeah, we want
- 27:10Speaker 1: Hamas to this arm but maybe they can stay on
- 27:12Speaker 1: as a political party, political party, and who's going to
- 27:20Speaker 1: run this new Gaza And and let me just lets
- 27:23Speaker 1: just let's just pause a second. Is the reason Gaza
- 27:28Speaker 1: was so poor was the reason Gaza was so poor
- 27:33Speaker 1: that they didn't have enough money. I mean billions and
- 27:38Speaker 1: billions and billions and billions and billions and billions more
- 27:42Speaker 1: of dollars came in from Kata, from study Arabia, from Yuan,
- 27:48Speaker 1: from their European Union, from the United States into Gaza.
- 27:53Speaker 1: And they didn't build buildings, and they didn't build beautiful neighborhoods,
- 27:58Speaker 1: and they didn't build commotions zones. They built tunnels, they
- 28:03Speaker 1: bought weapons. So why does anybody think Garznas want this
- 28:16Speaker 1: desire this? They'd be given billions and what they did
- 28:21Speaker 1: was invest in war and that was Hamas. And now
- 28:27Speaker 1: you want to make Hamas a political party. They might
- 28:29Speaker 1: win again. If you have democracy, have an election, come
- 28:33Speaker 1: As might win again. And then you'll give Hamas all
- 28:35Speaker 1: this dollars. And what will they do with those dollars?
- 28:38Speaker 1: Even though they committed to disarmament, what will they do
- 28:41Speaker 1: under the protection of the United States, under the protection
- 28:44Speaker 1: of the Board of Peace. They will build tunnels and
- 28:47Speaker 1: bunkers and buy weapons and prepare for the next time
- 28:51Speaker 1: they can attack his own maybe to take ten years,
- 28:53Speaker 1: but they have time, they don't know how to and
- 28:57Speaker 1: all under the protection of the US, the Board of Peace.
- 29:07Speaker 1: And why are we pulling all this money into Gaza?
- 29:12Speaker 1: Why are we rewarding a people who engaged in atrocities
- 29:18Speaker 1: of October seventh? Why are we rewarding them for going
- 29:23Speaker 1: to war in the most horrific, disgusting, horrible Wait, why
- 29:32Speaker 1: are the Palestinians getting a gold medal? New buildings, new condos,
- 29:37Speaker 1: higher wages. I mean, all this money is going to
- 29:41Speaker 1: have to come from somewhere. And you know, Jeffy Kushner
- 29:52Speaker 1: was acknowledged that a lot of companies, all the private companies,
- 29:56Speaker 1: will be hesitant to invest in such a volatile and
- 30:00Speaker 1: such a volatile proposal, and he said, yeah, that they'll
- 30:09Speaker 1: be hesitant, so you know we're gonna have to encourage them.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Is that gonna be US investment guvntees? And why would
- 30:17Speaker 1: do us do that? That's a much worse investment than
- 30:20Speaker 1: giving Israel money? And it is all just supposed to
- 30:26Speaker 1: stand behy and watch all this money flow into the
- 30:30Speaker 1: hands of its enemy. And even if it's not come
- 30:33Speaker 1: as even if the false senior authority, what are they
- 30:36Speaker 1: gonna do with the money? You think they're gonna build
- 30:38Speaker 1: and create again, They've already received hundreds of millions and
- 30:43Speaker 1: billions and billions and billions of dollars, and what do
- 30:46Speaker 1: they do with them? Create a terrat state? I mean,
- 30:55Speaker 1: just on this, just on the border piece and is
- 30:58Speaker 1: planned for Gaza. Just done that. Trump should be denounced,
- 31:05Speaker 1: never mind everything else bad that he does. Why are
- 31:12Speaker 1: we trying to create paradise for monsters who butchered twelve
- 31:17Speaker 1: hundred Israelis. And you might say, well, no, not all
- 31:21Speaker 1: the Palestinians did it. No, most of them supported it.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Many of them did it. Many of them followed the
- 31:28Speaker 1: Hamaswaias into Israel, raped and pillaged, wanted to get in
- 31:33Speaker 1: on the action. When Israel left Gaza, they handed the
- 31:41Speaker 1: Palestinians factories and and what do you call it? Where
- 31:45Speaker 1: you where you grow, where you grow plants? God, the
- 31:51Speaker 1: word is in the tip of my tongue. Uh. You know,
- 31:54Speaker 1: advanced technology to grow and build and create? And what
- 31:59Speaker 1: are the palace thing He's to do with it? The
- 32:01Speaker 1: day after he's really left greenhouses, Thank you greenhouses and nurseres. God,
- 32:07Speaker 1: I can't believe I couldn't come up with greenhouses? What
- 32:10Speaker 1: a pouseties do with it? Next day they came in
- 32:14Speaker 1: and destroyed it all. They didn't want to touch it.
- 32:19Speaker 1: You don't change your culture by pouring billions of dollars
- 32:23Speaker 1: into their hands. You don't turn a primitive culture into
- 32:29Speaker 1: a civilized culture by putting them in nice houses. But
- 32:35Speaker 1: that is the delusion of Trump, because he's a real
- 32:43Speaker 1: estate guy. What is he k He's just about the buildings.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It's a delusion of a Jared Kushna. They don't understand,
- 32:51Speaker 1: they have no conception. They don't get it. And to
- 32:58Speaker 1: do this hand in hand with the Katari and the
- 33:00Speaker 1: tuks Kata and Tooks, both on the boat of piece
- 33:06Speaker 1: enemies sworn enemies of Israel, and you know Katcha justifying
- 33:15Speaker 1: the slaughter in Iran. It just it's just just insane,
- 33:28Speaker 1: just insane, all right. Anyway, So Gaza, I mean, it's
- 33:42Speaker 1: just Trump is is is such a buffoon. He really is,
- 33:48Speaker 1: I mean, strutting around on this boat of piece with
- 33:52Speaker 1: a bunch of authoritarian thugs, pretending that he's going to
- 33:56Speaker 1: solve the problem in Gaza with this, I mean, pretending
- 34:02Speaker 1: Ramas is gonna disarm, Pretending the Haramas political party is
- 34:06Speaker 1: going to be peaceful, pretending this is all somehow can
- 34:09Speaker 1: it come together? I mean, but that's okay. Much of
- 34:13Speaker 1: the Trump presidency is about pretend. We're gonna pretend we're
- 34:16Speaker 1: gonna get Greenland. We're gonna pretend they're gonna get rid
- 34:20Speaker 1: of all the illegal immigrants. We're gonna pretend they were
- 34:24Speaker 1: not violating the constitution. We're gonna pretend and pretend to pretend. Uh. Ultimately,
- 34:34Speaker 1: there's only one way Tramas is going to really honestly
- 34:39Speaker 1: gonna be disarmed, and that's if the Ideaf goes in
- 34:43Speaker 1: and does it. And there's only one way in which
- 34:47Speaker 1: Tramas disappears, and that's if Israel goes in and makes
- 34:54Speaker 1: them disappear and disappears them, or they're expelled. The entire
- 35:00Speaker 1: leadership and the entire fighting force is expelled from Gaza.
- 35:03Speaker 1: As long as they're there, they will be a threat.
- 35:08Speaker 1: As long as they're there, they represent an existential threat
- 35:12Speaker 1: to Israel. All right, we heard what's Lynchki had to
- 35:25Speaker 1: say about Iran. Now it's hard to tell exactly what's
- 35:28Speaker 1: going to happen in Iran. The reality right now is
- 35:32Speaker 1: that the United States is building up a massive military force,
- 35:40Speaker 1: an air force, not a ground force, but an air force,
- 35:43Speaker 1: and a defense system massive, much bigger than before they
- 35:48Speaker 1: bombed the nuclear facilities. They have every type of airplane
- 35:53Speaker 1: that they would need in order to execute a major
- 35:56Speaker 1: assault in Iran at their disposal. Within striking this they
- 36:01Speaker 1: now have an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. It
- 36:04Speaker 1: ended this morning. The United States has the defense systems,
- 36:13Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Thads deployed to where they need to
- 36:15Speaker 1: be to protect their own facilities. And now the world
- 36:21Speaker 1: is just sitting and waiting to see what Trump decides.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Will he hits you on if he hits you on,
- 36:30Speaker 1: how forcefully. In the meantime, in Davos, Trump and Whitcoff
- 36:36Speaker 1: and others are saying, we're going to negotiate. They are
- 36:42Speaker 1: going to negotiate with the murderous, thuggish regime in Tehran
- 36:52Speaker 1: while they're aculating forces. And I assume the accumulating forces
- 36:56Speaker 1: is a way to put pressure on their Anian regime
- 36:58Speaker 1: to compromise Zelenski's up. So you're right, okay, so you negotiate.
- 37:02Speaker 1: What do you negotiate? So, okay, so I'll cut back
- 37:06Speaker 1: on they'll cut back on nuclear stuff and maybe they'll
- 37:10Speaker 1: promise promised promise to not buy anymore, not build any
- 37:15Speaker 1: more bailistic missiles and what else? If you keep this
- 37:20Speaker 1: regime in power, what are you telling the world? What
- 37:23Speaker 1: are you telling the Iranian people? And how is this
- 37:28Speaker 1: not getting bold in the Ranians? And by the way,
- 37:31Speaker 1: a deal, a deal that Trump signs with the Iranian regime,
- 37:35Speaker 1: with this Iranian regime well also inevitably has to given
- 37:40Speaker 1: Trump's character, involve oil. So now you're opening this figot,
- 37:47Speaker 1: You're you're you're legalizing Iran's ability to export oil. What
- 37:51Speaker 1: does that do? That brings in money? What is Iran
- 37:54Speaker 1: going to use that money for? Well, you'll promise to
- 38:00Speaker 1: use it to develop the economy. It will pay off
- 38:02Speaker 1: the shopkeepers, that will try to pay off its own population.
- 38:05Speaker 1: It'll try to improve their economic situation by handing them checks.
- 38:12Speaker 1: But beyond that, we know what that will use the
- 38:14Speaker 1: money for the same thing Comas uses this money for
- 38:16Speaker 1: more weapons. Strategically position itself so the next time it
- 38:21Speaker 1: give resist the Americans. And the best way to resist
- 38:23Speaker 1: Americans is how build a bomb. Every time American negotiates
- 38:29Speaker 1: with you on it just increases the motivation of the
- 38:33Speaker 1: Ranians to build a bomb, because a nuke will force negotiation,
- 38:39Speaker 1: a nuke will eliminate the American and is really threat.
- 38:45Speaker 1: And if Trump negotiates a deal with you on is
- 38:49Speaker 1: all I assume its just gonna sit back because It'so's
- 38:52Speaker 1: not going to piss Trump off by actually attacking. Now, look,
- 39:00Speaker 1: I might be wrong in all this, and as we speak,
- 39:02Speaker 1: the US might be launching an attack right now on
- 39:06Speaker 1: you on and we don't know that. As I said,
- 39:08Speaker 1: the assets are in place. The assets are in place
- 39:13Speaker 1: to do it. So let's see. By the way, you know, again,
- 39:28Speaker 1: just a point on the on the I'm just seeing
- 39:30Speaker 1: a post here on the vote apiece you know, if
- 39:32Speaker 1: the voter piece is officially a treaty an international organization,
- 39:38Speaker 1: then it needs congressional approval. It actually needs two thirds
- 39:45Speaker 1: of the Senate to vote for it. You know, I
- 39:51Speaker 1: don't think there's two thirds of the Senate that would
- 39:53Speaker 1: vote for this monstrosity. Uh. It's it's truly, it's true stunning.
- 40:08Speaker 1: You know, all this happening. By the way, vote a piece,
- 40:10Speaker 1: all this, We're gonna rebuild Gaza, We're gonna do all
- 40:13Speaker 1: this stuff. In the background of the US between the
- 40:19Speaker 1: codes and allowing ISIS basically if you rain in northern
- 40:24Speaker 1: Syria and backing a Syrian regime of former ISIS fighters,
- 40:29Speaker 1: and clearly you know this is what this is what
- 40:35Speaker 1: the Americans are backing as they're signing on to a
- 40:40Speaker 1: boards of peace. Now again back to Iran, Ah, I mean,
- 40:56Speaker 1: Israeli sources are claiming and I don't know, it's hard
- 40:59Speaker 1: to tell Israeli this could be ushful thinking on their behalf. Israeli,
- 41:03Speaker 1: so a claiming that an attack on you one could
- 41:10Speaker 1: be eminent. And we're talking about an American attack, not
- 41:13Speaker 1: an Israeli attack. The IDEF IS basically told everybody that
- 41:17Speaker 1: this weekend to stay close to their phones and expect
- 41:21Speaker 1: an emergency. That everybody's agrees that the deployment of US
- 41:27Speaker 1: forces in the Middle least is needing completion. The only
- 41:30Speaker 1: question now is what is Trump decided? And the question
- 41:32Speaker 1: is what do they engage in diplomacy?
- 41:37Speaker 4: First first, right, let's see, it was the something else
- 41:58Speaker 4: I wanted.
- 42:00Speaker 1: Yeah, mh, all right, So the future of Gaza and
- 42:10Speaker 1: a PowerPoint looks great. Uh, we might see some real
- 42:15Speaker 1: action in in uh in uh Iran. We will see
- 42:21Speaker 1: yet to be uh, yet to be proven again. Uh.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Israel estimates, given the assets that the US has in
- 42:28Speaker 1: the region, that the US is ready for some major, major, major,
- 42:32Speaker 1: devastating attack on the Ranians. I believe it when I
- 42:34Speaker 1: see it. A celebrator, when I see it, we'll see
- 42:37Speaker 1: they mean, tell me, we'll see. Journal decided to publish
- 42:40Speaker 1: a propaganda op ad, an oup ad by a member
- 42:46Speaker 1: of the Iranian regime. Yeah, defending the crackdown in the
- 42:55Speaker 1: name of what you know, balanced journalism. A believable. Iran's
- 43:00Speaker 1: government defends its crackdown. Unlike the restraint we showed in
- 43:04Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, this time we'll have no qualms about
- 43:07Speaker 1: fiving back with all we have. Yep, and they did,
- 43:15Speaker 1: and they really really really did. You know, the numbers
- 43:18Speaker 1: now coming out of Iran could be in excess of
- 43:21Speaker 1: twenty thousand dead, twenty thousand people going out there demonstrating
- 43:27Speaker 1: for their own freedom dead. And does anybody say anything,
- 43:31Speaker 1: anybody do anything, as as Zelenski said, nada, certainly not
- 43:36Speaker 1: in Europe and even the US, I mean Trump, Trump
- 43:40Speaker 1: said he was promised they'll stop the executions.
- 43:49Speaker 4: All right, Uh, let's see.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Free speech. As you know, you know, there really isn't
- 44:07Speaker 1: much more important than free speech in order to defend
- 44:11Speaker 1: our freedoms. Speech is what is required to make the
- 44:14Speaker 1: argument against the injustice, the authoritarianism that we see rising
- 44:21Speaker 1: in Washington and really around the world. Without the ability
- 44:25Speaker 1: to speak, without ability to criticize those in power, freedom
- 44:32Speaker 1: is completely lost. And while you know, Trump is god,
- 44:42Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to say about Trump.
- 44:44Speaker 1: But while Trump is not really ideological ideologically a dictator, Ideologically,
- 44:50Speaker 1: he doesn't have an ideology that integrates his authoritarianism. He
- 44:56Speaker 1: is an authoritarian and he would like nothing more than
- 45:00Speaker 1: to get rid of free speech. I mean, really would
- 45:05Speaker 1: like nothing more than to get rid of free speech.
- 45:08Speaker 1: He believes that any criticism of him is illegitimate, indeed treasonous.
- 45:15Speaker 1: He has said so, and he keeps saying so, and
- 45:21Speaker 1: he keeps saying so, and people ignore him because they
- 45:24Speaker 1: used to all the over the top stuff that Trump says.
- 45:27Speaker 1: But he's president of the United States. President of the
- 45:32Speaker 1: United States is actively verbally allowed publicly questioning the value
- 45:39Speaker 1: of speech. Here's his latest This is from again a
- 45:45Speaker 1: tweet that he published. Something has to be done about
- 45:51Speaker 1: the fake polls. They are truly out of control. Now,
- 45:58Speaker 1: by the way, how do we know they're fake? How
- 46:00Speaker 1: do we know the polls of fake? How do you
- 46:02Speaker 1: how would you know the poles a fake? Because the
- 46:08Speaker 1: negative of Trump, Trump's reality. Trump is the epitome of
- 46:16Speaker 1: a primacy of consciousness mentality. I ask the philosophers who
- 46:20Speaker 1: support Trump how this works. A He has a primacy
- 46:27Speaker 1: of consciousness mentality. He believes that he is the greatest
- 46:31Speaker 1: president in human history. He believes that the country has
- 46:35Speaker 1: never been better. He believes that things are amazing. Well,
- 46:42Speaker 1: how is it possible that his poll numbers are low? Obviously,
- 46:48Speaker 1: all of this stuff that he believes is true. And
- 46:51Speaker 1: if it's true, and if he believes it, and if
- 46:54Speaker 1: he keeps saying it, then obviously the American people think
- 46:57Speaker 1: it too. Why would they think anything else. They're not idiots,
- 47:05Speaker 1: So the polls must be wrong. I mean, here's this
- 47:11Speaker 1: full statement. Something has to be done about fake poles. Now,
- 47:15Speaker 1: notice that that's the key. Something has to be done.
- 47:19Speaker 1: This is the president of the United States. Something has
- 47:23Speaker 1: to be done. Well, what or what is? What power
- 47:28Speaker 1: does the government have? It test the power of force.
- 47:32Speaker 1: It has a gun. We can stop these fake polls,
- 47:38Speaker 1: stop the criticism of Trump. Something has to be done.
- 47:45Speaker 1: That in and of itself is a violation of the
- 47:50Speaker 1: First Amendment. Right, there is a threat, Right, there is
- 47:55Speaker 1: a threat that is aimed at silencing the posters, aimed
- 48:00Speaker 1: at silencing doing way with their free speech. We will continue.
- 48:08Speaker 1: Something has to be done about fake polls. They are
- 48:11Speaker 1: truly out of control. All caps. We have the greatest
- 48:15Speaker 1: economy in the history of our country. We have the
- 48:17Speaker 1: strongest border in history. Nobody has ever done a job
- 48:21Speaker 1: like I have done. They have me in the low forties.
- 48:26Speaker 1: The Democrats destroyed healthcare. I'm trying to fix it and
- 48:30Speaker 1: they give me fake low numbers, fake all caps, fake
- 48:34Speaker 1: polls on the economy, on the border, on just about
- 48:37Speaker 1: everything are ridiculous, and this is the key word dangerous.
- 48:45Speaker 1: The real poles, real all caps have been great all caps,
- 48:53Speaker 1: but they refuse to print them. This is no different
- 48:56Speaker 1: than a writer who is corrupt, of which they are.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Many New York Times and so many others pin polls
- 49:03Speaker 1: that are knowingly false. Knowingly they have become deranged and sick.
- 49:11Speaker 1: Talk about deranged. They suffer from a major case of
- 49:14Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. Their twenty twenty four election coverage was
- 49:18Speaker 1: so bad and so long, and yet they never got
- 49:21Speaker 1: called out for it. But I'm calling them out with
- 49:24Speaker 1: the lawsuit that I have filed, which is making its
- 49:27Speaker 1: way through the courts. They have to pay a price
- 49:30Speaker 1: for all caps, fake and fraudulent news, and hopefully in
- 49:35Speaker 1: the not too distant future they will so. The fact
- 49:40Speaker 1: that he's suing the New York Times for his position
- 49:43Speaker 1: as President of the United States big problem from the
- 49:47Speaker 1: perspective of free speech, big problem. And the fact that
- 49:52Speaker 1: he keeps threatening them. They have to pay a price
- 49:56Speaker 1: for fake and fraudulent news. Who gets to the sign
- 49:59Speaker 1: what the fake and far telling news is? The all
- 50:05Speaker 1: knowing or powerful great leader. Yes, sir, unbelievable. Unbelievable. And
- 50:19Speaker 1: this will go unmentioned, and the right will just keep
- 50:22Speaker 1: on going and they don't care. They don't want free speech.
- 50:25Speaker 1: If it means silencing the left, that's a good thing.
- 50:28Speaker 1: How can you beginst the left? The left is the
- 50:30Speaker 1: epitome of evil. They have the devil incarnate. They're all communists,
- 50:33Speaker 1: and we should silence communists and everybody to the left
- 50:36Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, whatever the hell that means, even because
- 50:40Speaker 1: isn't he left is a communist and therefore should be
- 50:44Speaker 1: silenced and made illegal. In addition, the FCC Federal Communications
- 50:54Speaker 1: Commission is giving up to go after YU another aspect
- 51:01Speaker 1: of free speech. They want to make sure that when
- 51:05Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmelo any other late night talk show host interviews people,
- 51:10Speaker 1: he interviews people from both sides of the aisle. They
- 51:14Speaker 1: want equal that time on interview shows, so otherwise I'll
- 51:29Speaker 1: shut you down. This is going to only increase that is,
- 51:36Speaker 1: there's no question about the fact that this administration and
- 51:42Speaker 1: its supporters do not believe in freedom of speech at all,
- 51:52Speaker 1: and they would like to find ways that don't offend
- 51:56Speaker 1: American people too much. Find sneaky ways around to limit
- 52:04Speaker 1: significant limit free speech, this speech from the left. Yeah,
- 52:20Speaker 1: all right, I'm just reading it's making news. I'm seeing
- 52:34Speaker 1: it from a number of different sources. And maybe it's
- 52:35Speaker 1: true that Israel these really security services suspect that somebody
- 52:41Speaker 1: within Israel's defense establishment is using their insight information to
- 52:48Speaker 1: make bets on poly markets in terms I think of
- 52:54Speaker 1: an Uranian related attack or not. So I don't know
- 53:01Speaker 1: if that's just that they're playing with us or if
- 53:04Speaker 1: that is real, But we moment to check polymarket to
- 53:07Speaker 1: see what the odds are, what the odds are? All right,
- 53:27Speaker 1: let's take a look. Okay, finally, well we might talk
- 53:31Speaker 1: about one another thing. Jack Smith today is in front
- 53:45Speaker 1: of Congress. He is in front of the House Committee
- 53:50Speaker 1: on something and something. Jim Jordan is there and testifying
- 53:56Speaker 1: about his indictment of Donald Trump or over the twenty twenty,
- 54:02Speaker 1: over January sixth, and over the documents. Jack Smith is no,
- 54:11Speaker 1: he is a serious person and is not going to
- 54:15Speaker 1: shrivel up and just play politics with these people. He's
- 54:19Speaker 1: going to tell it the way it is. He has
- 54:24Speaker 1: already said in testimony, public testimony. Videos of this are
- 54:27Speaker 1: going to circulate all over the place that his investigation
- 54:31Speaker 1: developed proved beyond a reasonable doubt the Trumpet engaged in
- 54:34Speaker 1: criminal activity. He said, quote, if asked whether to prosecute
- 54:39Speaker 1: if imer president based on the same facts today, I
- 54:44Speaker 1: would do so, regardless of whether that president was a
- 54:47Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican. He continued. No one should be about
- 54:52Speaker 1: the law in this country. And this is again in
- 54:57Speaker 1: front of a committee dominated by Republicans who are trying
- 55:00Speaker 1: to grill him and try to catch him out right,
- 55:03Speaker 1: and Trump is already tweeting about this and all pissed off.
- 55:09Speaker 1: This is Jack Smith again. The First Amendment does not
- 55:12Speaker 1: protect speech. So one of the arguments is, well, Trump
- 55:16Speaker 1: had the right to claim fraud in the election. That's
- 55:19Speaker 1: the First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants
- 55:21Speaker 1: to say. And this is Jacksmith's response to the fact
- 55:27Speaker 1: that Trump's actions and speech, but particularly his actions regarding
- 55:34Speaker 1: the twenty twenty elections, are not protected on the First Amendment. Quote,
- 55:38Speaker 1: the First am Amendment does not protect speech that facilitates
- 55:42Speaker 1: a crime. Speech that is used to facilitate a crime.
- 55:47Speaker 1: A fraud crime in particular, is not protected under the
- 55:51Speaker 1: First Amendment. The Supreme Court precedence on this is clear
- 56:04Speaker 1: also from Jacksmith. My fear is that we have seen
- 56:07Speaker 1: the rule of law function in our country for so
- 56:10Speaker 1: long that many of us have come to take it
- 56:12Speaker 1: for granted. The rule of law is not self executing.
- 56:17Speaker 1: It depends on our collective commitment to apply it, and
- 56:21Speaker 1: I would say, in particular the commitment of Congress to
- 56:25Speaker 1: apply it. It's good that he's speaking to Congress. He
- 56:30Speaker 1: goes on and this is not necessarily in sequence. I
- 56:34Speaker 1: have grave concerns about obstruction of justice and this investigation,
- 56:38Speaker 1: specifically with regards to Donald Trump. I was away during
- 56:42Speaker 1: the course of our investigation of targeting of witnesses during
- 56:47Speaker 1: the course of the conspiracy itself. They were election workers
- 56:51Speaker 1: who had their lives turned upside down and received vile
- 56:54Speaker 1: death threats because they were targeted by Donald Trump. Donald
- 56:58Speaker 1: Trump suggested that one witness should be put to death,
- 57:01Speaker 1: and also made a statement to the fact of if
- 57:05Speaker 1: you come after me, I'm coming after you. In my mind,
- 57:08Speaker 1: I can't think of a more direct threat. This guy
- 57:14Speaker 1: has balls. You gotta give it to him. He has balls,
- 57:20Speaker 1: he says. The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Did President Trump engaged in criminal activity. No one should
- 57:31Speaker 1: be above the rule of law in this country, and
- 57:33Speaker 1: the law required he beheld to account. Again, quoting Jack Smith,
- 57:42Speaker 1: President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he
- 57:46Speaker 1: willfully broke the law, the very law he took an
- 57:50Speaker 1: oath to uphold. Grand juries in two separate districts reached
- 57:56Speaker 1: this conclusion based on his actions. Rather than accept his
- 58:00Speaker 1: defeat in twenty twenty, President Trump engaged in a criminal
- 58:03Speaker 1: scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer
- 58:08Speaker 1: of power. After leaving office in January twenty twenty one,
- 58:12Speaker 1: President Trump illegally kept classified documents is Moroologo Social Club
- 58:18Speaker 1: and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued
- 58:23Speaker 1: retention of these documents, highly sensitive national security information was
- 58:28Speaker 1: held in a ballroom and a bathroom. Our investigation revealed
- 58:35Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was not looking for honest answers about
- 58:38Speaker 1: whether there was fraud in the election. He was looking
- 58:41Speaker 1: for ways to stay in power. He in fact, knew
- 58:45Speaker 1: that the fraud claims he was making were false. I mean,
- 58:52Speaker 1: it's brutal. It is brutal, and it's going to be
- 59:01Speaker 1: interesting to see if there are any repercussions. My guess
- 59:03Speaker 1: is no, none, zero, zilch, nada. Everybody who loves Trump
- 59:10Speaker 1: will stay completely one hundred percent supportive of Trump. Nobody
- 59:16Speaker 1: is gonna question him, nobody's going to challenge him. This
- 59:19Speaker 1: is done by the way in front of in front
- 59:22Speaker 1: of Republican Congress, Republican congressman. And my suspicion is it
- 59:32Speaker 1: goes into one ear and it comes out the other
- 59:34Speaker 1: and has no impact on him, just has no impact
- 59:38Speaker 1: on them. This is Donald Trump tweeting while Jack Smith
- 59:44Speaker 1: is testifying. Quote deranged Jack Smith is being decimated before Congress. Really,
- 59:52Speaker 1: maybe it's Donald Trump being decimated. It was over when
- 59:55Speaker 1: they discussed his past failures and unfair prosecutions. He royd
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: many lives under a guise of legitimacy. Jack Smith is
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: a deranged animal who shouldn't be allowed to practice law
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: if he were, if he were a Republican, his license
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: would be taken away from him and far worse. Hopefully
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: the Attorney General is looking at what he's done. Notice
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: what's going on here, Notice what's going on here. President
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: of the United States is threatening, is threatening a witness
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: who is testifying against him in front of Congress with prosecution.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Hopefully the Attorney General is looking at what he's done,
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: including some of the crooked and corrupt witnesses that he
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: was attempting to use in his case against me. The
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: whole thing was a Democrat scam. A big price should
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: be paid by them for what they have put our
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: country through. I mean, they are just at some point
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: there are just no words for this president. I just
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: don't get understand anybody who continues to support him. I
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: just don't understand it. Not if you're reading what he says,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: just his own tweets it. You know, he is behaving
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: like Putin. He's behaving like a dictator. And luckily we
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: still have semblance, a semblance of a rule of law,
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: semblance of it, so he can't just go out and
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: arrests Xmith, although I wouldn't be surprised if Pam Bondi
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: is building a case right now to do exactly that.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: It's it really is horrible. And what's particularly horrible is
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: the Republicans on this committee are playing along. That is,
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: they are attacking Jack Smith there. You know, he is
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: is clear, you know, and and he's got he's got
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: the he's got the stuff to back it up, and
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: yet Republicans are not listening. They're just using this to
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: try to discredit him because they only have an audience
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: of one person, and the audience is Donald Trump. By
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: the way, in the middle of a hearing, a Democratic
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: congressman stopped and read aloud to everybody, a Trump's deranged
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: you know statement, which is threatening Jack Smith in front
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: of him. Congress I mean, any respect that once had
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: for any of these Republican congressmen is now zero. Not
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: a you can't. I mean, these people should be voted
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: out of office. Studying with Jim Jordan, who's heading up
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: this committee, who used to be decent and it's turned
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: out to be a mouse. A mouse is too nice,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: mices can be cute. I mean just a a week coward.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: And all of them are, every single one of that caucus,
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: the Republican caucus. I mean, who would ever think that
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green had guts and everybody else doesn't. She left,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: She called Trump out and left Margie Taylor Green. It
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: takes something for one of the kookiest people in American
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: politics in the history of American politics, for the kookiest person,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: one of the cookiest people in American politics to actually
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: be right about something. Hi, all right, I mean, you know,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: and this is what he said about January sixth. But
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: the pardons the people who assaulted police officers and were
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: con convicted after trial, in my view, and I think
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: in the view of the judges who sentenced them to
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: prison a dangerous to the community. Some of these people
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: have already committed crimes against the communities. Again, I don't
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: understand why you mass pardon people who assaulted police officers.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: And I don't get it. I never will because he's
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: a decent human being and a president is not. Yep.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: Good for Jack Smith having the courage. I'll just say this.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Good for Jacksmith to have the courage to stand up
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: and say this in public in spite of Trump's threats,
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that Republicans are going to
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: try to go after him and and and ridicule him
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: and do everything else. And he is saying it like
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: it is saying it like it is. A democratic representative
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: asks Jack Smith. Do you believe that Trump's Department of
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: Justice will find a way some way to indict you?
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: Jack Smith says, I believe that they will do everything
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: in their power to do that because they've been ordered
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: to by Trump. All right, that is the news guys
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: for this Thursday, January twenty second. All right, remind you
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: that you can ask questions. I will answer them. Keep
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: the questions coming, particularly if the twenty dollars, fifty dollar,
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, anything about twenty dollars is particularly valued
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: and appreciated and it gets us start targets. I remember
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: yesterday I showed you a video of Emily Asuda, which
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: I was very impressed with, and I commented on it
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: and put it up on the show and showed it
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: to you. Well, somebody must have told her that I'd
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: done that, because she then commented on being in the
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: video and said, oh look look I'm there on minute
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: forty and started following me on Twitter. I followed her back.
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: So now Emily and I guess following each other on Twitter.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: That's good. Maybe I'll have her come on the show.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: That could be fun. But to talk about iron and
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: to talk about Israel and everything else. She's incredibly eloquent
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: and it seems knowledgeable. Uh so that was that was
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: called cool. I don't know who actually did that, who
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: actually let her know that that I had mentioned that
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: it mentioned mentioned her on the show. But thank you
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: whoever let her know that, thank you. Maybe she just
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: watches the show, you think maybe that happened, that could
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: have happened. But but in any case, somebody somebody mentioned
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: it to her and and she she followed me as
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: a result. So that is uh, that is that is good,
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: and maybe we'll have on the show. All right, Well,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: mind up that value for value, you know, the stick.

- 1:11:12Speaker 1: kind of the goal for the first hour. Let's go
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: for that second hour goal. I don't think we're going
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: to go into a third hour. Today. We don't have
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: a lot of questions, but we certainly well into the
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: second hour. So let's try to get close to that
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: goal as close as possible. Thought criminal, thank you for
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: the sticker. I really appreciate that. Let's see who else
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: who else did stickers here? Yeah, not a lot of stickers.

- 1:11:56Speaker 1: h point ninety nine. You can just come in and
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: do something symbolic. Greatly appreciated, and all adds up. James says,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: you say Trump is non intelligent. It's hard to imagine
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: winning two persidential elections without a high degree of intelligence
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: some dimension, unless you think it's all luck, right place,
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: right time. No, I don't think you need that much
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: intelligence to win an election. You need a certain ability.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: You need in ability to be able to read your audience.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: You need an ability to communicate to your audience in
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: a way that resonates with them. But that does not
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: make you smart in any kind of meaningful way. Since
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: I believe that Trump is non conceptual, he cannot deal
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: with abstractions, He cannot deal with conceptual abstract information. I
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: consider that the whole mark of intelligence you know he
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: might have. He might be very good at marketing because
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: he kind of has an emotional grasp of what people
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: like and people want, doesn't make him intelligent. Somebody says
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: intelligence is overrated. Maybe intelligence overrated, but conceptualization is not.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: We as a species, as an individual, survived, thrive, and
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: thrive because of our ability to conceptualize, to engage in
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: abstract thought. We are not an animal that is coded
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: and a pre programmed to exist out there. And Trump is,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: as iron Rand described it, a perceptual being, a preconceptual being.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: And he has not risen as long with many of
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: his voters, has not written into the level of fully
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: human in essence, i e. The rational animal, the conceptual animal,
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: the animal that conceptualizes. I know lots of people who've graduated.
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: I mean, if you are some like some leftist thug
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: who graduate from Yale, as many of them do, you
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: wouldn't say, oh, look, he graduate from Yale. He must
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: be smart. You would have said, no, he's a leftist.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: They're stupid, they're idiots, they have no intelligence. But because
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: he's somebody you like, Oh, because he went to UPenn,
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: he must be smart. No, he went You know the
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: fact that he went to UPenn. You know I got
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: an NBA. I think he got an NBA from Upen?
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Is that right? Somebody must know a degree he got
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: from Upen. But I got an NBA. An NBA is
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: an easy degree to get. Study business in university. I
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: was a business professor. It's easy to get. You don't
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: have to be particularly smart. You do not have to
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: be particularly smart. Now. Trump is ambitious, and he's good
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: at marketing and the sudden sense, the sudden ways in
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: which he knows to manipulate people, and he's very good
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: at that. But does he have conceptual ability? No, as
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: as a domestic terrorist says, TDS is going to TDS. Yeah,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: TDS is going to be TDS. I E this is
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: the difference. I provide evidence. Listen to his speech yesterday
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: and tell me that that is a smart person or
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: an honest person, or person would any kind of integrity
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: Take any of the tweets that I read to you
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: about Jack Smith, or about or about the polling, and
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: tell me that's a smart person. He was a developer
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: of skyscrapers. He didn't design the skyscraper, wasn't an engineer
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: behind the skyscrapers. He wasn't the architect of the skyscrapers.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: As I said, he's good at reading and manipulating people.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: And again, the you know, the way I think about
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: smart is conceptual. He is a selfishness without her self
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: because he has no thoughts that why is above the
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: very simplistic level of abstraction. And you can call that
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: TDS if you want. That's fine. I've been called worse.
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: But reality is what it is, James. One thing I
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: just read is that China has been pushing for the
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: past thirty years to get a foothold in Iceland. They
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: now have a research hub that Icelandic officials have no
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: access to a university program at their top school. Yeah,
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. China's made a lot
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: of investments all over the place. Iceland is a I
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: think a member of NATO, it's certainly a EU, and yeah,
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: it's it's in a key location. And I'm sure, China
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: has a foothold in lots of different places anywhere you go.
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: China has huge footholds here in the United States, massive footholds.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: I mean, I was just reading that. In spite of
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: all the so called competition of AI, most of the
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: leading AI papers that are published a co author by
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: American and Chinese authors working in American and Chinese labs.
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: So Americans in Chinese are corporating on AI. Is not
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: a part of you. I thought it was a part
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: of the EU. Okay, Matia says they're not a part
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: of the U. So yeah, there's no question that China
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: has a presence pretty much everywhere. So does by the way,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: in the United States, in particular, so does Kato. Kotto
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: has has invested in the US much more than China
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: in terms of the university programs. Happa Campbell, I'm a
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: this is he's quoting Donald Trump. I'm a dictator, but
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: sometimes you need a dictator. That was Donald Trump at Davos.
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Two things are hard to accept about Nazi Germany. One
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: is that he was popular, people supported him. The other
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: he wrote a book in which he told everyone what
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: he would do. Yet people were surprised. Trump has said
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: he will do many hopable things. Gun down somebody in
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: the middle of Fifth Avenue. Well, he didn't say he
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: would do that. He said if he would do that,
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: people would still vote for him, which I think is true.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: But he he, you know, yes, said lots of He
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: said he would deport everybody. He said, he said all
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: these things. People are still surprised. He said he would
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: militarize ice, and people are still surprised. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: he says he's a dictator. I mean he means that
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: in the sense of, you know, he does what he
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: wants to do, and nobody cares, certainly not Republicans don't
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: seem to kid it's defenders, you know his uh you know,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: the people suffering from Trump zombie syndrome, which all the
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: people who call me for TDS actually suffering from. They're okay,
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: he can say, yeah, I'm in dictator of the United
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: States and they will go, oh cool, and you're criticizing
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: him your own you must have TDS. I saw that
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: that he said that, and I didn't even make it
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: into the news because it's he says stuff like that
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: all the time and nobody seems to care. You know,
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: you either you know you you either get that that's
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: his mentality, you don't get that mentality, and getting that
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: that that's his mentality you should get not because he
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: says it, but because of his other statements of in
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: his actions. Harrison quote, obstruction of a public thoroughfare is
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: such a blatant violation of individual rights that any attempt
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: to justify it becomes an abrogation of morality. This design
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: RAN's thoughts on Jack Lang's right to protest in Minnesota. Yes,
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: although she did say that once the government gives that
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: right to do that to one group or one person,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: it has to give it to every group. It can't,
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: it can't discriminate. That was an her essay where she's justifying,
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: where she's justifying allowing the allowing the Nazis, the Neo
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: Nazis to march in Cokie Skoki in Illinois near Chicago,
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: and she said, you know, I'm against protests that you know,
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: obstruct people's traffic and people's ability to engage in day
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: to day life. But once this is what you do
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: for some groups, you have to defall groups. Government can
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: play favorites, even though it does all the time. Stephen
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Oppas says, thank you for the show you're on. Thank
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: you Steven for the support. Really appreciate it. Thank you guys.
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: Jacob says, I'm forty one, have been listening to you
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: since around twenty eighteen, and I'm halfway through Atlas Shrugged
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: for the first time. Wow, first time I was inspired
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: to learn about capitalism after first listening to Thomas Sault. Well,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: that's great, and I'm I'm excited that you're reading Atlas Shrugged,
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: and I'm incredibly curious to see what you think of
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: Atla Shrug when you finish it. That is, when you
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: get to the end of Atlas Shrugged, and I hope
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: that'll be the first among many of Iinman's books that
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: you read. But I'm very excited that you're reading Atlas
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Shrug because I assume because you've been listening to me.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: Jonathan border Piece is a Trump for life, Trump for life. Yes,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: it is. It's unbelievable. Fanahab twenty dollars. Thank you for
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: this super chat. Actually, let me just thank the stick
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: of people here, Joseph Paul and Free Market Capital. Thank
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: you guys for coming in with some stickers. How do
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: you differentiate smart and intelligence I consider the first to
- 1:22:52Speaker 1: be large stores of knowledge, full of facts, the second
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: high understanding of cause and effect. Want to ask, holds
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: them differently? So I thought I would ask, Oh, I
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: haven't really thought about it. How to I hold smart
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: and intelligent? Yeah? I don't consider smart as just somebody
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: who holds a lot of facts. They hold the facts
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: and don't know how to use it. That's not very smart.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: Somebody smart or intelligent, and I think of them is
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: pretty much synonymous to some extent, is somebody who can
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: deal with with a high abstract level. Who can you
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: know you can be You could be narrowly good at
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: a field, and then I'll be able to abstract on
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: anything else. I guess that's possible. I guess what I'm
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: really looking for is people who can use abstract knowledge
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: across a number of different fields. How do we define
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: that as that smart or intelligence? I think it's it's both.
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: But then what if you have, like somebody who's really
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: good at work because he's got a narrow focus and
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: he's good at that, but he can't use his mind
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: than anything else. Would he call that us a smart? Now? Really?
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: I don't you know? There's a bunch of concepts there
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: that we need to clearly define and we need to
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: be clear about I agree with that, and clearly I don't.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: I don't have those definitions. So something to work on.
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: Maybe good question to ask Greg. It'd be interesting to
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: see maybe he has some good definitions around the different
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: concepts that relate to intelligence and how those relate to
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: because there's also capacity. We do it. We are born
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: with different capacities, but what's important is how much we
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: use it. And then there is a difference between capacity
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: and then conceptualization, actual use of your abstract thinking ability,
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: and then what happens when somebody is really good at
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: math but can't use the thinking for anything else. Actually,
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: I Man has a really good essay on that that
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: would be a good member's only session. She has a
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: letter to Barbis Spasski, the chess player, who's obviously a
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: genius as chess, but she criticizes him for not applying
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: his thinking ability for anything else. So let's let's look
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: at that essay and maybe we can we can learn
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: something about intelligence and smarts and some of these other
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: concepts that relate to it. A Sebastian, do you think
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: Trump will use force to manipulate the election of stay
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: in power. What should we look out for? Well, I
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: think I don't put it about beyond him. That is,
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility that he does, particularly if
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: he thinks that Republicans in Congress will go along with it,
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: and particularly if he thinks that MEGA will go along
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: with it, and that the rest of us will just
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: kind of say, ah, we don't like it, but not
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: do anything about it. So the more we roll over
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: and play dead with regard to ICE or with regard
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: to smaller violations of our rights, the more likely it
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: is that he goes all out. What do we look for?
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: An escalation from ICE and the application maybe of ICE
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: to do more than just immigration, and a call maybe
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: from some of the promoter as a maga like Bannon,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: for him to use force in that way, because I
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: think he listens to them. But yeah, I definitely think
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: it's a possibility. Rowland says great speech by Zelensky. Wish
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: the world had more leaders like him? Yeah, absolutely, I
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: mean my top two leaders I think Milai and then
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: Zelensky in the world today. On him, you don't care
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: for international law. No, it's not that I don't care
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: for it. That's way too weak. I think it's a legitimate.
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: I think I don't think it's a law. It's not binding,
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: it's meaningless and its significant. So that's I think a
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: little stronger than I don't care for it. But if
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: you had to choose between international law gaining more power
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: versus VANCE winning, would you still putform international law gaining
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: I don't know how that is a trade off. I
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: don't like these kind of this or that those are
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: aren't alternatives. You have to fight against international law and
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: fight against Vance. And let's say international law gains power
- 1:27:52Speaker 1: and Vance wins. Is Vance going to follow international law?
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: Is international law backed by nukes? Does the international law
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: have any ability to uh, you know, to be applied?
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: Could Advanced be prosecuted by anybody? No, So it's irrelevant.
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: International law is just irrelevant. The good guys, the weak
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: good guys played by its rules. The bad guys never
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: do and the good guys who are strong never do.
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: So why even have it? Newly? Dan? Is there the
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: chance that the US can become a theocratic under Christianity?
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: I mean there is, long term. I don't think it's
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: gonna happen anytime soon, But that's to some extent, you know,
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: Lennapeagov's prediction in the dim hypothesis. I mean, I think
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: it would be moderately theocratic. Not theocratic in the sense
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: of Iran and women wearing jobs or in the sense
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: of what was that TV show while all the women
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: were there just to make babies and stuff like that.
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: That I don't think is possible. But what is possible
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: is outlaw abortion on a national scale, you know, maybe
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: even make contraception difficult together or illegal. You know, school
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: prayer everywhere, banners proclaiming Christianity everywhere, things like that, more
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: of a recognition of Christianity's essential part in the nation,
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: but not any particular doctrine of Christianity being implemented anyway,
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So not full blown theocracy, but
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: soft theocracy. Yeah, I think very much possible within the
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: next twenty to fifty years. Molten Splendor. After your coverage
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: of Jacksmith's testimony, it appears that the mob boss has
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: all his Republican lieutenants in tow. Why uh all, why
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: are they also afraid of the gang boss. It's scary
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: to me. What does he hate have over them? Well,
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: what he has over them is maga. What he has
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: over them are the voters. What he has over them
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: is yeah, I mean, it's the Republicans who vote in
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: the primaries. What he has over them is their position
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: in Congress. He'll he'll just you know, basically, he'll just
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: basically primary them out of existence, out of the party.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: And what he has over them is balls.
- 1:30:56Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: You can say a lot of things about Donald Trump,
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: but Donald Trump is not a in a sense, it's
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: not a coward. He says what he thinks. He doesn't care,
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: and they are cowards. They're cowards. They don't want to
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: confront him. And he makes enemies easily, and he persecutes
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: his enemies. He doesn't just say you're an enemy. He
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: goes after them. And going after the means they lose
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: their position in Congress. The people in the district don't
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: like them anymore. The Republican establishment, the mega Republican establishment,
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: turns against them. Yep, so they they, I mean Republican
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: congressmen and senators have become mindless zombies. I mean a
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: few that exceptions, like Ran Paul, but the rest of them,
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: And tell us who's now leaving Congress because he started Trump.
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: So he's leaving the Senate because he knows he would
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: be primary and you know he'd lose. I never tell
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: you when I'm going to be on, so YouTube tells
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: you wait in advance when I'm going to be on,
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: and I announced it on Twitter always.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: So.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: People make stuff up. It's pretty amazing. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:32:37Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, cowardly. They are unbelievably unbelievably. Let's see, Gail.
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: I look at the twenty fifth Amendment. What is at
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: its core, Basically, at its core is that the cabinet
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: can announce in a sense that the president is does
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: not have the capacity to govern, and you know they
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: can go through Congress and ultimately they can replace him
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: and replace him with the vice president. It's basically it's
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: something that the cabinet can initiate, which is unusual. I
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: almost always broadcast in the same hour. I don't know
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: why people are bewildered. It's kind of weird, all right,
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: free market capital If you were president, what steps would
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: you take to secure Ukraine victory against Russia? How much
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: support would you give before risking nuclear escalation assuming providing
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: weapons isn't enough. Well, I think providing weapons is enough.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: I don't think you need more than weapons. I would
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: give them the long range that they need. I would
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: give in I would give them the defense systems that
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: they need. Uh, you know, I would. I would lease
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: them with expectation that you know, I would lend, you know,
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: provide them with loans with expectation that they pay it back.
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: But I would provide them with the you know, all
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: my I would look at my stockpiles and all the
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: expiring weapons I would hand over to the Ukrainians. You know,
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: I would have to be a military expert to know
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: what they need, but they certainly need more airplanes. They
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: have sixteens. What they really need is f thirty fives.
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: Not whether they have an air force they can fly
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: at thirty fives, I do not know, But those are
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: kind of things you would look at. But what they
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: need is to dominate the air. And if they dominate
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: the air, then they can dominate the ground. And right now,
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: the reason it's a drone war is because neither one
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: dominates there. Both the Russians can't really fly over Ukraine
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: and Ukraine can't fly over Russia. But imagine if Ukraine
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: could take out Russia's hair defense systems. Then game over.
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: Russia would have to retreat. It would have to retreat.
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: They'd be sitting ducks and the Ukrainians would just destroy them.
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: So I'd give them the kind of air power not
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: flown by Americans, flown by Ukrainians that they would need.
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: Now again, you'd have to be a military strategist to
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: figure this out, but there's no question in my mind
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: they're with the right weapons. And indeed, if the Biden
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: administration had given them the right weapons at the right time,
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: this could have been over a long time ago, or
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: at least been much better for Ukraine a long time ago.
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: It's Biden's hesitation to give them the weapons. Support with woods,
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: but resistance to give them weapons is what creates the challenge.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: If you want to know when I go live, by
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: the way, all you have to do is subscribe. If
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: you subscribe, YouTube will let you know. Generally I go
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: live at two pm two pm East Coast time, pretty
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: much every day. Sometimes that changes because of other things happening,
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: except for Tuesdays. Tuesdays, at least until mid March, I
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: go live one hour later, But every other day it's
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: two pm East coast, and I've been fairly consistent. I mean, granted,
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: I deviate an occasion. Yeah, it's pretty pretty easy, not
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: that hard, if you really if you're interested in watching
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: the show, it's easy to keep track. And again, if
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: you subscribe YouTube will let you know, and if you
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: follow me on Twitter, I will let you know. I
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: announced the shows in advance. Clark and Putin must be
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: rolling around the floor with laughter at Trump. Oh yeah,
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: he's been doing that for years, for a long, long,
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: long time. He's been doing that. So absolutely, thank you.
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: Wes really appreciate the sticker. Twenty five dollars. That helps
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: us get much closer. Jeremy, thank you for the sticker.
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: You guys are helping get us closer to the goal.
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: Less than one hundred dollars, guys, five twenty dollars questions,
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: and we are there, We are there, Clark. I suspect
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: that there's there's a major recession or depression and Trump
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: really unleashes ice and declares martial law, impeachment and conviction
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: could happen. I don't know, and I don't see us
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: really heading towards a suddainly not towards a depression. I
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: don't think. And maybe a recession, but even that is
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: right Now, the US economy is growing. You might not
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: see the growth in jobs, but it's growing into the consumption.
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: Now we'll see what happens. Interstates are still going up.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: We'll talk maybe talk about interstates tomorrow. The dollars going
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: down in value. I mean, since Trump came into office,
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: the dollar's gone down a lot. Now, maybe he's doing
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: that on purpose, I don't know. I doubt it. And
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: long term interstates have not gone down. Short term interestates
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: so once controlled by the FED, have gone down, expecting
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: long term rates to come down, and long term rates
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: have not come down much. And that means mortgage and
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: rates have not come down much. And there's very little
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: the government can do to lower up long term rates.
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: So I mean, unless he orders the FED to stop
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: buying long term bonds, which would be you know, which
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: the Fed doesn't do except in emergencies. So it could happen,
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: but it's Trump would like to have more control over
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: the economy and be able to manipulate it even more. Oh,
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: I didn't do the segment of Trump's free market thing.
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: Should I do this segment of two shee market? I
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: missed that. Let's let's let's do that. I think I've
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: got to hear what's this? What's this exchange between Donald
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: Trump and Maria buttaloma bout t roma? Butmo but romo? Whatever?
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: I know Maria, She's interviewed me many, many, many times. Anyway,
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: here she is interviewing Trump. Uh and uh and what's
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: this exchange? It's it's quite revealing of Donald Trump's approach.
- 1:39:35Speaker 5: Economy, mister president, because when I first interviewed you, when
- 1:39:38Speaker 5: you first came back, it was about a month after
- 1:39:40Speaker 5: the inauguration for your second term. I asked you, miss President,
- 1:39:43Speaker 5: what do you want the economy to look like in
- 1:39:44Speaker 5: four years? And you were very clear. You said, I
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: want the private step to rule the day. And since then,
- 1:39:51Speaker 5: in the last year, you've taken a ten percent stake
- 1:39:53Speaker 5: in Intel, You've taken a steak in MP Mountain Pass.
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: You told the defense companies two weeks ago, don't pay
- 1:39:59Speaker 5: any dividen, don't do buybacks until you produce the weapons
- 1:40:02Speaker 5: that we need. So please explain to our audience, how
- 1:40:05Speaker 5: is that free market capitalism?
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: Well, that's a great question. I mean I wish I
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: wish more people asked him questions like that, but even
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: more interesting than the question. Listen to his answer. He
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: evades the answer. I mean, he goes around and around
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: and he's agnoing it. But that's exactly the question that
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: needs to be asked.
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: It was a very free market. We have defense companies
- 1:40:33Speaker 3: that were making a fortune. They were buying backstock with
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: all their money, and then they come to us for
- 1:40:37Speaker 3: money if they want to, you know, we want to
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: buy something, or we want to have plans built, and
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: they say, could you loan us some money, and they'd
- 1:40:43Speaker 3: be doing tens of billions of dollars of stuff. Why back,
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: So I'm not letting them do it.
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: It's just not about them loaning money. They want they
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: want purchasers. They want they want the US government to
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: buy their stuff. That's what they're there for, their defense contractors.
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: But he wants to run them. He wants to tell
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: them to you know.
- 1:40:59Speaker 6: We have the best equipment in the world, have the
- 1:41:02Speaker 6: best equipment in the world because we have relatively free
- 1:41:06Speaker 6: defense contractors who don't have to pay dividends based on
- 1:41:10Speaker 6: what the government says.
- 1:41:11Speaker 1: They don't have to pay the CEOs based on what
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: the government says. We have a little bit of free markets.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: That's why we have the best equipment in the world.
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: Patriots, Tomahawks have thirty fives. All of our equipment's the best.
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: Other countries want it, and we want it. We need more.
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: It takes too long to get it. I said, we're
- 1:41:29Speaker 3: not going to do that anymore. So Also, they were
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: making tremendous amounts of money and twenty.
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: Five Oh god, they're making a lot of money.
- 1:41:36Speaker 3: Thirty seven million dollars a year. That's a lot of money.
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: That's almost as much as you make.
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: You work harder than that.
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: But you know they were making as one of the gentlemen,
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: what are you making? So I make twenty four million dollars?
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: How come it takes me five years to get your
- 1:41:51Speaker 3: particular thing that they make? Right? So I put a
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: cap on that for a period of time.
- 1:41:56Speaker 1: For a period of time, I said, you have to
- 1:41:57Speaker 1: build more plans.
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: When we order when we need Tomahawks, I want him
- 1:42:01Speaker 3: within twenty four hours.
- 1:42:02Speaker 1: When we need any.
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: Kind of Patriot or whatever I want, I want to
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: have it quickly. I don't want to be waiting three
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: years for it. What kind of a thing is that?
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: And you make all this money and I'm prohibiting from
- 1:42:14Speaker 3: doing stock buy bait and you know they haven't even
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: complained about it.
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: Well, so, so free market capitalism unless it's a national
- 1:42:20Speaker 5: security issue.
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: Look at the free market.
- 1:42:22Speaker 3: It's stupid market letting that take Why would I let
- 1:42:25Speaker 3: them do stock buybacks and we give them, you know,
- 1:42:28Speaker 3: the businesses from US.
- 1:42:30Speaker 1: So of course he doesn't deal with the origent of
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: a question, which is about the government taking stakes in companies,
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: you know, free markets, except if it's a national security
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: But you know, the steak he took in US steel
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: is not national security. Is taken intel not national security.
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: This is all it's bus He likes running things. He
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: is a central plan at his every every every part
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: of his everything about him is about central planning. So yeah,
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: it's just just another I thought i'd show you that
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: just to show you, not that you would be surprised,
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: maybe some of you because some of you still support Trump,
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: some of you still fans of his, but he's not
- 1:43:19Speaker 1: a free market president. Nothing close. Oh yeah, just looking
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: at it at the chat. I'm just going to comment
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: on this asof says, in reference to Gaza, you on
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: is ignoring the fact that Israel and BB we're funding
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: the Ramas. For all these years, how many times have
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: I talked about Bib supporting Kamas, Bib allowing the Katawi
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: money to come into Ramas, bbe you know, Israel even
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: really funny Kamas originally and creating commas in nineteen eighties.
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: I've talked about that for twenty frigging years. So I
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: didn't mention it this time when I talked about Gaza,
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: and Asuf is going to correct me, well, excuse me
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: of self that it can't give you the full dissertation
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: of everything I've ever said about Gaza and about Bib
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: and a about Hamas and about all this stuff. Every
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: single time I mentioned the word Gaza. You guys are funny.
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: You guys are really, really, really funny, all right, Huper Campbell.
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: People on the right have accepted all the basic premises
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: of the left and become merchants of despair in their
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: own right. Yeah. Absolutely, there's very little difference between the
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: right and the left right now, except with regard to
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: transgender athletes. If that is the most important issue in
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: your life, then yeah, I vote Republican. But except for that,
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, an abortion, which is where
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: the right is so wrong. I mean, there are a
- 1:44:47Speaker 1: few social issues which the right is different from the left,
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: but other than that and anything, they're either terrible on it,
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: like abortion, or it's just not that important in a
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: big ski of things. But they're indistinguishable on so much
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: of the important stuff, the role of government, the extent
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: of which the government should be in our lives, that
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: they completely agree, Liam says. A newly released ICE memo
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: authorizes officers to add to homes without judicial wants. Yeah,
- 1:45:26Speaker 1: it's an executive want. It's a different kind of want,
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: but it's only it is important to know, just to
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: give it objectivity, Liam, because they don't have tds. It's
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: a want that only applies for people that have outstanding
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: deportation orders and have now been deported. They've appealed, they've
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: gone through the process, and they have a deportation order
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be deported, then they can go
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: in to the home. Now I'm not saying that that
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: justified it. I'm just saying so far ICE is very
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: is delimited their ability to answer homes without a want.
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: But if we don't react to every little breach like this,
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: it will become bigger and bigger and bigger and more
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: and more and more of infringement of our rights. All right, Liam,
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: If ice budgees into your home without a warrant, should
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: you be morally allowed to pooh pooh them? Yes, But
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: again they're not allowed to do that yet unless you
- 1:46:35Speaker 1: have an outstanding deportation decree against you or whatever it's called.
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: Even then they shouldn't be allowed. But it is limited,
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: so most of you are pretty safe. It's not panic yet,
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: Liam says. I am interested in how ordinary people come
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: to rationalize state action carried out in their name, and
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: what happens when you pros and personal morality responsibility become optional. Well,
- 1:47:03Speaker 1: I mean, it's really simple. They're convinced that the illegal
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: aliens are raping their daughters and taking their jobs, and
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: nobody's done anything about it for years and years, and
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: finally Trump has come and he's doing something about it,
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: and he's sending these eyes off ice offices. And yeah,
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: it's ugly and sometimes they do things that are in appropriate,
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: but generally what they're doing is for the good and
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: it's important work. And you know, we need to be
- 1:47:32Speaker 1: a safe society and we need to get these people
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: out of here, so they tolerate it, and the fact
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: that it's an avigation of their rights, Well, what do
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: they know about their rights anyway? How much of their rights?
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: How much? How much do they really understand about their
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: rights and what it means to have more personal responsibility?
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: Very few people have that concept really and understand it
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: in any significant way. Newly, Dan is not the dictator's
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: strategy to stay in power part of their ideology? Well, no,
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: you know, it could be non ideological. I don't think
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: Trump is ideological. Trump is I want power? That said,
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: it's not. There's no, it's not the name of fascism
- 1:48:22Speaker 1: or socialism or or Begaltyianism or any or even pragmatism.
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: It's just I want power and I deserve it because
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: I did good things whatever. So you can be a
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: power luster without being an ideologue or without being ideological.
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: All right, Harrison, Do I have the right to use
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: my body car to prevent irs agent from collecting taxes
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: like the Bookley student protests that rand Exercise excoriated once,
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: you don't have that right, and I mean you have
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: the right to do it, but you will sit in
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: jail for it. So you could argue it's civil disobedience,
- 1:49:34Speaker 1: but then you have to you know, you suffer the
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: consequences of it. You can decide not to pay a
- 1:49:40Speaker 1: taxes as Peter Schiff's father did and sat for years
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: and years and years and years in jail because you
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: refuse to pay taxes. So you can refuse the government.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: But you know there is a massive difference. Look, if
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: I let's change this a little bit. If IRS agents
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: were going door to door and demanding that you identify
- 1:50:08Speaker 1: yourself and demanding to see your bank statements, then you
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: would have every right in the world to block them
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: and to interfere in their actions and to refuse to participate.
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: Now you would go to jail, but you would be
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: on the right because that is that has taken generally
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: accepted now for a hundred years process of paying your taxes.
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: It's taken it to authoritarian levels. So there are differences
- 1:50:41Speaker 1: here right now. Again, Berkeley student protests is something very different.
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: They were doing illegitimate things in the name of illegitimate
- 1:50:50Speaker 1: ideas on what should be viewed as private property. Here
- 1:50:58Speaker 1: the officers coming to your house or they are in
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: the public space in your neighborhood, Why would you not
- 1:51:07Speaker 1: be able to block them when what they're doing is illegitimate.
- 1:51:11Speaker 1: What they're doing is a violation of rights. What they're
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: doing is using worse than criminal then processes going after
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: criminals in order to go after people who are not criminals.
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Illegal immigration is not a crime. It's a
- 1:51:32Speaker 1: civil offense. If they were doing the same thing to
- 1:51:37Speaker 1: all of us. Because a bunch of us, a bunch
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: of you guys, a certain percentage of you, I know,
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: a significant percent illegal taxpayers. Why you illegal taxpayers? Because
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: you probably cheat a little bit on your taxes, You
- 1:51:55Speaker 1: underrepport certain things, you take deductions when you shouldn't. Guess
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: is a significant percent of an American population? Does that?
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: Imagine if the United States government then assigned a police
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: force IRS agents to go house by house to come
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: in ask you how come you can afford this nice car?
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: Come into your house, look at your furniture, check out
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: your flat screen TV, and demand to see your bank
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: statements again, you would be absolutely okay, you know as
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: it is right now. They can do it. They can
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: do some of that, but they don't come to your house.
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: They don't walk around your neighborhood, they don't you don't
- 1:52:36Speaker 1: shuffle you off without any evidence, without any evidence into
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: their cause and whisk you away. They're not masked. You know,
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: today IRS does it in a civilized way. They ask
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: you to come to the officers with the appropriate documentation.
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: They're not masked. They're not you know, it's not an
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: unlabeled envelope. There's a massive difference between the level a
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: violation of rights and all I'm asking for. All I'm
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: saying is people have the right to engage in civil
- 1:53:16Speaker 1: disobedience over a militarization of going after people who violated
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: civil law, not even criminal law. I mean, if they're
- 1:53:28Speaker 1: going after rapists and murderers, okay, but that's a tiny
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: fraction of the people they are resting, a tiny fraction
- 1:53:36Speaker 1: in spite of the government propaganda says otherwise, they're lying
- 1:53:40Speaker 1: to you. Molten Spander says, did you see the video
- 1:53:44Speaker 1: of the ICE agent who entered a Thai restaurant with
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: his gun unholsted, saying he was looking for a kid? No,
- 1:53:52Speaker 1: I didn't see that. It's unbelievable. And it's you guys
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: who are justifying them, are making that possible. Linda, thank
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: you for getting the truth out there. You appreciate it.
- 1:54:12Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Linda. Linda also says Atlas Shucks and
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: other books by Man changed my life for the better.
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: The IBS does as well. Harrison says, Google Jack Lang,
- 1:54:24Speaker 1: m plist protest your anti ICE wrioters try to murder
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: him for daring to hold a legitimate protest for a
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: different point of view. Oh, give me a break. You
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: guys are so so so first of all, that I'm
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: my anti icewriaters or protesters or whatever they are, that
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: I'm mine. I don't believe in protesting. I believe in
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: you know where ICE agents are going going harassed them,
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: you know, videotape them, yell at them, don't get yourself arrested,
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: don't use violence. So I'm against violence. But I'm sure
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: Jack Lang whatever is the most decent fellows. He's probably
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: a sweetheart of a human being and probably did nothing,
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: nothing offensive at all. And look, if protesters get violent,
- 1:55:17Speaker 1: then I'm against that. I'm against violence. I don't believe
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: in violent protesters. But ICE is pulling guns not of
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: people who are violent. Ice is pulling guns on people
- 1:55:29Speaker 1: who are yelling at them, people who are filming them.
- 1:55:33Speaker 1: Ice just murdered a woman who is trying to drive
- 1:55:36Speaker 1: away from a scene in violation of every code of
- 1:55:39Speaker 1: how you use a weapon by every single law enforcement agency,
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: including ICE, including Homeland Security. So yeah, I'm you know,
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: ICE rioters out there, ICE protesters out there who are
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: listening to my show, don't use violence. Don't don't. Don't
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: use violence. Not good. It's evil to use violence. And
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure. Yeah. Anyway, uh dB, you ridiculed
- 1:56:15Speaker 1: Mark Route for kissing up the Trump in an earlier show.
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: He is a pragmatist willing to do anything to meet
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: his goal not to be trusted. Yeah, I know, I
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: mean it's yes, a super pragmatist is absolutely what he is,
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: and he'll kiss Trump's ass whenever he thinks he needs
- 1:56:32Speaker 1: to in order to calm things down, because that's what
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: you need to do, kiss his ass in order to
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: get him to calm down, because he is an emotionless thug.
- 1:56:43Speaker 1: A mat says Congress is most limpeding group of people ever. Yep,
