Speaker 1: Tomorrow's your chance. Saturday is your chance, so you can
1:15
Speaker 1: participate live on the show on Sunday. Uh what did
1:21
Speaker 1: I just do? I didn't want to actually do that.
1:23
Speaker 1: There you go, all right? Uh So the inevitable, I
1:30
Speaker 1: think has happened. It was just a matter of time
1:35
Speaker 1: before this would happen. But it it. It shouldn't surprise anybody,
1:39
Speaker 1: and it isn't surprising. Ice shot an American citizen. Uh,
1:46
Speaker 1: and I I believe murdered an American citizen. Shot somebody
1:53
Speaker 1: for no reason, killed him. The uh, the this is
2:02
Speaker 1: not surprising. We'll talk about the details of what happened
2:05
Speaker 1: in a minute. This is completely not surprising, given the
2:08
Speaker 1: fact that we've seen video after video after video, story
2:12
Speaker 1: after story after story about how ICE is using force,
2:17
Speaker 1: how Ice is harassing people, how the people in Ice,
2:22
Speaker 1: the officers in ICE are untrained or not very well trained,
2:27
Speaker 1: not generally drawing people from the best parts of our world.
2:36
Speaker 1: ICE's mission is a mission of intimidation, of creating a
2:42
Speaker 1: culture of fear, of creating a culture of hostility. Ice
2:51
Speaker 1: is arrested, or put it this way, imprisoned American citizens,
2:56
Speaker 1: legal residents. It is a resting large numbers of people,
3:02
Speaker 1: housing them in horrific conditions in detention centers before possible deportation.
3:09
Speaker 1: ICE is going after people who are following the law,
3:12
Speaker 1: who are going to their immigration appointments, and uh, you know,
3:19
Speaker 1: just taking them away if they haven't dotted VY I
3:22
Speaker 1: and crossed VT. From the beginning, ICE's mission has been
3:28
Speaker 1: one that is immol anti American. I mean, I don't
3:36
Speaker 1: understand maybe one of these people, maybe one of one
3:40
Speaker 1: of the people who think that that this is the
3:44
Speaker 1: greatest president in americanistory, you can tell us. I really
3:48
Speaker 1: don't understand how if you if you believe in individual rights,
3:52
Speaker 1: if you believe in limited government, if you believe that
3:54
Speaker 1: when when government gets powered, particularly when government uses force
3:59
Speaker 1: out there on people who have not violated aybody's rights.
4:03
Speaker 1: Maybe they've broken the law, but they haven't violated anybody's rights.
4:06
Speaker 1: But when when government is given the tools to inflict
4:11
Speaker 1: force on a huge scale, with very little constraints, and
4:19
Speaker 1: on people who have not violated anybody's rights, I don't
4:25
Speaker 1: understand how anybody can think that is who believes, as
4:29
Speaker 1: I do, in limited government. Government's job is protecting individuals.
4:33
Speaker 1: How you can how you can excuse that kind of
4:36
Speaker 1: grant a power to the government, the scale of that power.
4:42
Speaker 1: I mean literally, you watch everything that ICE is doing masked.
4:48
Speaker 1: What the hell whia law enforcement in the United States masked?
4:54
Speaker 1: I still have seen zero evidence that their life is
4:57
Speaker 1: at risk in any kind of way that requires them
4:59
Speaker 1: to be masked, armed, driving unmarked, unmarked cause, with unspecified authority.
5:13
Speaker 1: They've clearly, uh, you know, taken into custody US citizens.
5:19
Speaker 1: They are demanding IDs some people. Here's another one. You know,
5:23
Speaker 1: a lot of people object to the idea of a
5:26
Speaker 1: national idea of a government authorized identification card, the one
5:31
Speaker 1: would have to carry around with chip in sight of
5:34
Speaker 1: it that keeps track of everything you do. I mean,
5:36
Speaker 1: conservatives and libertarians and objectivists, you know, offended by such
5:41
Speaker 1: a thing. The government shouldn't be tracking our behavior, and
5:44
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be required, in order to live in this country,
5:46
Speaker 1: have an idea to show everybody. And yet ICE is
5:49
Speaker 1: going around demanding that you identify yourself. Why why in
5:57
Speaker 1: a sentence are proven guilty? You have no right to
6:01
Speaker 1: demand I get out of a car. You have no
6:03
Speaker 1: right two force anything upon me without some reason. You
6:18
Speaker 1: can't demand, you know, a documents for me, just for
6:26
Speaker 1: walking around, just for whatever I'm doing, just for driving.
6:31
Speaker 1: I mean the number of videos I've seen of agents
6:34
Speaker 1: smashing people's windows and dragging people out of cars. Maybe
6:39
Speaker 1: even the people are indeed the legal immigrants. But how
6:45
Speaker 1: do the agents even know? How do they know if
6:54
Speaker 1: we're not required to carry ideas, we're not required to
6:57
Speaker 1: show them an idea how do they know. You first
7:00
Speaker 1: dragged him out of the car, you first beat the
7:02
Speaker 1: shit out of him, you first put him in some
7:04
Speaker 1: detention center, and then you figure out whether he's a
7:07
Speaker 1: citizen or not. And remember what the crime is. The
7:11
Speaker 1: crime is crossing a border. The crime is not violating
7:13
Speaker 1: anybody's right. It's some murder. It's not rape, it's not
7:16
Speaker 1: I wish they went out of murderers and rapists with intensity.
7:22
Speaker 1: We're not talking about aggravated assault. We're not talking about burglary,
7:26
Speaker 1: we're not talking about car theft. We're talking about somebody
7:29
Speaker 1: crossing about and many of them, many have them crossing
7:33
Speaker 1: abouder assuming they're going to get asylum and actually going
7:35
Speaker 1: through a legal process to get asylum. And now the
7:37
Speaker 1: regime is changed and they're denying them asylum. But now
7:40
Speaker 1: we're going to beat you up and throw you in
7:41
Speaker 1: a in a cell and deport you to some god
7:45
Speaker 1: forsaken place or on the planet. It's I mean, what
7:50
Speaker 1: ICE has been doing for the last what eight nine months,
7:56
Speaker 1: is truly unbelievable. It's hard to believe this is the
7:58
Speaker 1: United States of America's believe that this is the two
8:02
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary. This year is the two hundred
8:05
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
8:09
Speaker 1: These people, these law enforcement agents of the United States
8:12
Speaker 1: of America, are not, are not who are presenting the
8:19
Speaker 1: kind of government that that Declaration of the Dependence declared
8:24
Speaker 1: that its biggest violators. And then yesterday, you know, a
8:32
Speaker 1: woman is her issue is blocking the road. So it's
8:38
Speaker 1: hard to exactly, you know, I don't know how she
8:39
Speaker 1: got into a position where you've blocked the road, but
8:41
Speaker 1: she's just dropped off a six year old, an American citizen.
8:45
Speaker 1: She has four kids, I think for kids. She has
8:48
Speaker 1: a number of kids, And it's hard to tell right
8:51
Speaker 1: now online because if you go on x and you
8:54
Speaker 1: look her up. God, I mean, she's a It turns out,
8:58
Speaker 1: according to many people on AX, she's a lesbian. Her
9:03
Speaker 1: lesbian partner abuses kids. I mean, it's just unbelievable the
9:07
Speaker 1: kind of horrors that they're dredging up in order to
9:13
Speaker 1: justify what happened. Anyway, she's clearly trying to get trying
9:18
Speaker 1: to get out of there, right She's she's locking the
9:21
Speaker 1: boat and she's trying to take a turn to get
9:23
Speaker 1: out of there, and you know, she's she's starting to
9:27
Speaker 1: advance forward, and then a cock crosses in front of hers.
9:32
Speaker 1: She stops. Then another car with agents comes up. They
9:36
Speaker 1: jump out of the car and they start yetting at her,
9:39
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get her out of the car.
9:41
Speaker 1: And one of them tries to open the door, which
9:44
Speaker 1: is by what right, why are you opening the door
9:46
Speaker 1: of my car? She backs up, she reverses a little bit,
9:51
Speaker 1: then she drives forward, turning to the way to get
9:54
Speaker 1: into the lane to drive away from there. An agent
9:58
Speaker 1: to a standing who has just come and has been
10:01
Speaker 1: filming the whole time. He's been filming. He's got a
10:03
Speaker 1: cam out and filming. Let's put her away the camera
10:07
Speaker 1: taking out a gun. It is in front of her.
10:11
Speaker 1: As she turns, she's turning away from him. He steps
10:18
Speaker 1: away from the car, pulls her. He's got the gun
10:21
Speaker 1: out drawn. He points to the windshield, fires once as
10:24
Speaker 1: she's turning away from him, fires through the side window
10:28
Speaker 1: two more times, just killing her. Now, if you add
10:35
Speaker 1: to that the fact that the fact that they then
10:40
Speaker 1: deny a medical help, a doctor on the scene says,
10:43
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor. I'd like to go see if she's
10:44
Speaker 1: got a pulse. Maybe I can help her. They don't
10:47
Speaker 1: allow her. They nonchalantly are walking around. At some point
10:50
Speaker 1: one of them says, yeah, call nine one one, you know,
10:52
Speaker 1: call nine one one, And then the murderer they go
10:55
Speaker 1: shot her and a bunch of other agents drive away
11:00
Speaker 1: away from the scene, a motor scene, at least a
11:03
Speaker 1: killing scene. At this point, supposedly the medics show up
11:08
Speaker 1: and they held up. They don't even let the medics
11:10
Speaker 1: go go there. The Ice agents themselves, you know, barely
11:16
Speaker 1: approach the car to see if she's alive and what
11:18
Speaker 1: the situation is and what's going on. Can they help her?
11:21
Speaker 1: Maybe she could survive nothing, completely ignore it. Day at
11:25
Speaker 1: the office. What the hell they shocked somebody? Now, some
11:30
Speaker 1: of you might say, how do you know you? And
11:31
Speaker 1: how do you know you know? President Trump has said.
11:35
Speaker 1: President trumpet said that this was an act of self defense.
11:38
Speaker 1: She was actually going using the car as a weapon.
11:42
Speaker 1: She was driving and trying to run over this agent. Well,
11:48
Speaker 1: how do you know? Watch the videos. I'll show you
11:50
Speaker 1: a photo in a minute, but watch the video. The
11:53
Speaker 1: videos are very clear. And indeed, even Donald Trump, when
11:55
Speaker 1: he actually was forced to watch a video during the
11:57
Speaker 1: interviews of The New York Times was stuttering, but no, no,
12:02
Speaker 1: no problem, because you know, Homeland our Department of Homeland
12:10
Speaker 1: Security has already come out and declared that she is
12:13
Speaker 1: a domestic terrorist, that she was killed because she was
12:17
Speaker 1: trying to kill the officer, that what he did was
12:20
Speaker 1: one hundred percent self defense. Christynome Defineders a terrorist, which
12:30
Speaker 1: again is just I mean, I don't know, there are
12:33
Speaker 1: no words to describe how evil this is. I mean,
12:39
Speaker 1: if George Floyd caused demonstrations, this should really cause demonstrations.
12:45
Speaker 1: And on this one, you know, there should be wide agreement.
12:51
Speaker 1: We don't want ICE agents shooting people, killing people. Now
12:58
Speaker 1: do we know? You know she wasn't trying to run
13:01
Speaker 1: him over. I mean, you can watch the video. The
13:04
Speaker 1: video is pretty clear. I think you can watch it
13:06
Speaker 1: in a slow motion. A lot of people have, you know,
13:08
Speaker 1: provided it provided it in slow motions so you can see.
13:12
Speaker 1: I've got I've just got a photo. Thank you to
13:15
Speaker 1: Cordez for sending me this photo. It's it's really helpful.
13:20
Speaker 1: This is a photo of the of the of the video,
13:25
Speaker 1: like screenshots, but in the moment of the shots being fired,
13:31
Speaker 1: so you can see where the officer is and when
13:33
Speaker 1: the shot is being fired, right, three shots, no one,
13:37
Speaker 1: three shots. So let's take a look. These are the
13:42
Speaker 1: three shots. Now, if you can't see it too, well,
13:44
Speaker 1: blow this up. You know, once you blow it up,
13:46
Speaker 1: I think it becomes clearer, particularly shot number one. Now
13:50
Speaker 1: it's the officer. You can see an officer with the
13:53
Speaker 1: police at the back on his back. It's not that
13:56
Speaker 1: officer that's doing the shooting. It's an officer behind him.
13:59
Speaker 1: You can't see him and shot number one, but you
14:02
Speaker 1: can see. You can see the position of his legs.
14:06
Speaker 1: You can see the tire. The tire is clearly pointed
14:09
Speaker 1: to a turn away from him. His body is on
14:13
Speaker 1: the in the in the way of the car, his
14:15
Speaker 1: fees and on the way of the car. I mean
14:17
Speaker 1: even his toes are not going to be run over
14:19
Speaker 1: by this tire. And he takes a shot through the
14:22
Speaker 1: front windshield. Why just get out of the way and
14:28
Speaker 1: let her drive away, take down her license plate and
14:31
Speaker 1: go and a rest her afterwards if she thinks he's
14:33
Speaker 1: fleeing from scene of a crime or whatever. There's no
14:37
Speaker 1: protocol in police, no product call in police that you
14:40
Speaker 1: shoot into a moving car when nobody's life is at risk,
14:47
Speaker 1: and nobody's life is at risking there's nobody in front,
14:51
Speaker 1: there's nobody other than these two cops in the way.
14:56
Speaker 1: And then look at the second shot. It's the side
14:59
Speaker 1: window and he's way clear of the car. He's not
15:02
Speaker 1: even close to the car. He's not at risk at
15:05
Speaker 1: this point. Okay, So the first shot he panicked, he
15:08
Speaker 1: thought he was running him over. Why the second and
15:11
Speaker 1: then the third shot he's on distance away. Look at
15:14
Speaker 1: the distance. There is she a threat to him in
15:17
Speaker 1: that third shot? Is she a threat? Well, of course not.
15:28
Speaker 1: And he a Supreme Court in I think eighty five
15:31
Speaker 1: ruled that police have an obligation not to shoot into
15:37
Speaker 1: a car if at all possible. And suddenly if nobody
15:41
Speaker 1: loves a risk. But look at shot number three. How
15:47
Speaker 1: do you justify shot number three or two? Over the matter?
15:51
Speaker 1: One can't justify any of them. This is just murder. Now,
15:56
Speaker 1: I think what this is is an untrained idiot, badly trained.
16:04
Speaker 1: It's cold. You've been harassing people for weeks now. People
16:09
Speaker 1: don't like them, they're pissed off. What's this woman doing?
16:14
Speaker 1: What does she think she is? And he feels threatened
16:17
Speaker 1: because the cause coming in his direction. He pulls out
16:20
Speaker 1: a gun, pulls the trigger, and then just fires two
16:22
Speaker 1: more shots, because what the hell. It's obviously not premeditated,
16:31
Speaker 1: but it's you know, this is America. We don't have
16:40
Speaker 1: gangs of you know, police, I don't even know they're
16:48
Speaker 1: not really police, you know, of agents of government agents
16:51
Speaker 1: roaming around the streets, rounding people up and shooting people.
16:56
Speaker 1: That's what we have here. And you know what really
16:59
Speaker 1: horrified me even more than this was was going on Twitter,
17:04
Speaker 1: which is god a mistake, I know, but it's my job,
17:08
Speaker 1: going on Twitter and discovering all the people defending them,
17:14
Speaker 1: all the commentators, all the influences, all the right wing
17:19
Speaker 1: hacks defending Ice, defending this, and then calling her names
17:26
Speaker 1: and coming up with stories about her past and as
17:29
Speaker 1: if that's relevant, right, as if that's relevant, and then
17:35
Speaker 1: just excusing this and justifying this, and you know, truly unbelievable.
17:41
Speaker 1: I don't know where where the conservatives, whether the Republicans,
17:45
Speaker 1: the decent ones, the human beings, the ones that are
17:48
Speaker 1: still human beings, the one that can still willing to
17:50
Speaker 1: have an opinion of their own, but ones that can
17:53
Speaker 1: actually look and see and and you know, this is
17:58
Speaker 1: like a million times clearer then George Floyd. Now she
18:05
Speaker 1: isn't black, maybe they'd be right. So if she was black,
18:08
Speaker 1: and now the all the demonstrations of Minnesota today, in
18:10
Speaker 1: Minneapolis today, we'll see this is all in Minneapolis. We'll
18:13
Speaker 1: see how big they grow and what happens, and if
18:18
Speaker 1: they grow with Ambiga. I would like to see some
18:20
Speaker 1: Republicans coming out and condemning ICE for this, even if
18:25
Speaker 1: they want to defend ICE more broadly, I'd like to
18:29
Speaker 1: see somebody in the administration condemning this. Christynom is. Yeah,
18:36
Speaker 1: words fail me because it really is upsetting. It's upsetting
18:41
Speaker 1: because it affects every single one of our lives. You know,
18:45
Speaker 1: this is what letting stuff like this go, Letting stuff
18:49
Speaker 1: like this happen is how you get authoritarianism. It's how
18:53
Speaker 1: you get gummant agents roaming around the streets to go
18:57
Speaker 1: after you. Whatever they decide is justifies rounding you up,
19:05
Speaker 1: in this case, shooting you. There are two ICE agents.
19:17
Speaker 1: One is a little in front of the car, but
19:19
Speaker 1: she's turning, so she's turning to the right. He is
19:23
Speaker 1: in front of the car, but she's turning away from him,
19:26
Speaker 1: and he's stepping out, so she's not running him over,
19:30
Speaker 1: and he stepped out so he's not being run over.
19:33
Speaker 1: He could have stepped in front of the car and
19:35
Speaker 1: being run over, but he's stepping in the opposite direction,
19:38
Speaker 1: so his life is not a threat in that moment.
19:40
Speaker 1: There's just no threat. You can see. You saw it
19:43
Speaker 1: in the photos and go watch the videos. There are
19:45
Speaker 1: three different angles in this. There's only one angle where
19:49
Speaker 1: it kind of maybe looks like but it's grainy, and
19:51
Speaker 1: if you zoom in, yeah, there's distance between him and
19:54
Speaker 1: the car. And think about her right here, she is,
20:00
Speaker 1: she's trying to get out of this blocking the road situation.
20:04
Speaker 1: There's an agent trying to open her door. She doesn't,
20:07
Speaker 1: you know, I imagine that. And then there's an agent
20:09
Speaker 1: right in front of her, and and and she's trying
20:12
Speaker 1: to avoid him and move out, and you know, she
20:16
Speaker 1: might not be thinking one hundred percent straight. It's a
20:19
Speaker 1: stressful situation. People are rushing at her, and a lot
20:22
Speaker 1: of people are yelling at her. By the way, part
20:24
Speaker 1: of what was being yelled at does move, move move?
20:28
Speaker 1: Only then was it yelled at her get out of
20:31
Speaker 1: the cart. So she's trying to move it's yeah. I mean,
20:42
Speaker 1: there's no no, there's no question here. And anybody trying
20:46
Speaker 1: to justify this, rationalize this, doesn't care about human life,
20:55
Speaker 1: doesn't care about human liberty, doesn't care about about freedom
21:02
Speaker 1: but liberty. The officer is firing the gun when he's
21:09
Speaker 1: outside of the reach of the car. He leans over
21:15
Speaker 1: the hood for the first shot, and here the fire
21:19
Speaker 1: is the second other two shots from the side where
21:21
Speaker 1: he's not even close, and no time is he ender
21:26
Speaker 1: threat from the vehicle. And it's not clear why they
21:31
Speaker 1: were engaging with the vehicle anyway, and why they were
21:33
Speaker 1: trying to open the door and what they were doing.
21:37
Speaker 1: And then of course just their attitude, they casual latitude.
21:40
Speaker 1: They just shot somebody, you know, well, another day in
21:44
Speaker 1: the office. They don't care. There's no CPR, no tourniquet,
21:49
Speaker 1: no chest seal, no combat gauze, nothing. They zero treatment.
21:55
Speaker 1: These are not Americans, these are little monsters. And they
22:02
Speaker 1: don't even know she's already because nobody's even gone there
22:05
Speaker 1: to try. And again, people are people are are tried
22:12
Speaker 1: trying to get there to provide medical care, and they're
22:15
Speaker 1: blocking them. They're not letting them. Somebody says, you know,
22:18
Speaker 1: I'm a doctor, and the guy says, I don't care.
22:21
Speaker 1: I don't care the disregard for human life. I mean,
22:30
Speaker 1: under what circumstances do people just let somebody bleed out? Now?
22:41
Speaker 1: You know, people in Minnesota upset. There were demonstrations last night,
22:44
Speaker 1: the demonstrations this morning, I mean, uh, and the the
22:49
Speaker 1: the mayor has basically said that that I should get
22:53
Speaker 1: the f out of Minnesota, and he's been condemned by
22:57
Speaker 1: every single right wing you know again commentator. And then
23:02
Speaker 1: the governor, Waltz is saying, you know, he's gonna call
23:08
Speaker 1: up in the National Guard to protect Minnesotan's farm ice.
23:11
Speaker 1: And of course you can imagine Republicans blowing up. Remember
23:14
Speaker 1: state rights that Republicans used to care about state rights? No, no, no, no,
23:18
Speaker 1: it's a federal government they matter. They all that matters
23:21
Speaker 1: is the federal government because what are they doing. They're
23:23
Speaker 1: doing the people's wish that the you know, deporting it
23:29
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants was important thing in the world, that's what
23:33
Speaker 1: should be done. FBI is investigating FBI. Do we trust
23:41
Speaker 1: anything the FBI tells us? FBI now has become a
23:44
Speaker 1: completely partisan group, and maybe always was, but Sunny is
23:48
Speaker 1: now local Minnesota police are being denied access to any
23:54
Speaker 1: kind of evidence. They denied access to the files. Now again,
24:05
Speaker 1: this is not this is not the first time people
24:10
Speaker 1: have been shot. This is the most egregious and the
24:13
Speaker 1: one best filmed. We get multiple angles so we know
24:18
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. But you know, federal officers fatally shot
24:25
Speaker 1: at least three other people in the last five months
24:29
Speaker 1: we're talking about ICE. One was killed while we're portly
24:38
Speaker 1: trying to flee from officers in a Chicago suburb. In December,
24:43
Speaker 1: a Board of Patrol agent killed the thirty one year
24:45
Speaker 1: old Mexican citizen while trying to detain him in Rio
24:48
Speaker 1: Grande City, Texas. On New Year's Eve, an off duty
24:52
Speaker 1: ICE agent used the service weapon to shoot a man
24:56
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles now Here. Supposedly the man raised the
24:59
Speaker 1: right f imported it at him, so it seems like
25:02
Speaker 1: there was justification. But people have shot other agents have
25:06
Speaker 1: shot other people without killing them. A number of people
25:10
Speaker 1: have suffered multiple bullet wounds. So I mean, these people
25:15
Speaker 1: out of control. They're out of control, and you see
25:18
Speaker 1: that in the way they harassed people, the way they
25:22
Speaker 1: approach you know, you compare it to the police. The
25:27
Speaker 1: police are like gentlemens in comparison, and the police are professional,
25:33
Speaker 1: they're trained, they bi professional trained. These people, I mean,
25:43
Speaker 1: it's time. It's always been time, but it's time to
25:45
Speaker 1: abolish this agency. ICE needs to be abolished. You know,
25:50
Speaker 1: if you want to deport, work with local police to
25:53
Speaker 1: deport them. But ICE, as a militarized unit of the
26:02
Speaker 1: voter patrol, immigration and custom enforcement needs to be trashed
26:10
Speaker 1: and the ben of history needs to be gone. Never
26:14
Speaker 1: in America, in no time in America should there be
26:17
Speaker 1: a position where there are federal agents that are masks
26:20
Speaker 1: roaming around the streets of America with guns and with
26:25
Speaker 1: a you know, ambiguous mandate is to say the least.
26:33
Speaker 1: I mean, usually when police shoots somebody, generally jury's will
26:40
Speaker 1: let them off. Usually when police shoot, the presumption of
26:45
Speaker 1: guilt is on the person who got shot. That is,
26:48
Speaker 1: the presumption is that the policemen you know, did this
26:51
Speaker 1: as an act of self defense. They know what they're
26:53
Speaker 1: doing and they often get off. But in this case,
27:00
Speaker 1: if this makes it a court, if anybody is willing
27:02
Speaker 1: to try it, it really is unlikely, given the paponderance
27:10
Speaker 1: of evidence, that this was not not justified. I suppose
27:17
Speaker 1: in the last four months, immigration officers are fired at
27:20
Speaker 1: at least nine people in five states. Let's see, we
27:27
Speaker 1: talked about that. Yeah, I mean, it's at the point
27:33
Speaker 1: now where this administration if they don't like you, if
27:37
Speaker 1: they don't like you, you're just a terrorist. You're just
27:42
Speaker 1: a terrorists. They thow that word around all the time,
27:44
Speaker 1: and a big part of that is is so they
27:47
Speaker 1: can legitimately then go after you. This is a I mean, secretary, no,
27:54
Speaker 1: define this as a domestic terror attack. Yes, ICE was
27:58
Speaker 1: attacked by domestic terrorists. They have no shame these people. Now,
28:06
Speaker 1: part of this problem is that you know, they now
28:10
Speaker 1: have quotas, so many people that have to deport, so
28:13
Speaker 1: many people they have to arrest. They're hiring. They got
28:18
Speaker 1: a massive budget, so they're hiring more and more people
28:22
Speaker 1: to get to the number of deportations. They need to
28:27
Speaker 1: deploy people really really fast. So the training is being reduced.
28:34
Speaker 1: They're cutting corners. And you know they are just supposedly
28:44
Speaker 1: in the ICE academy where they get the training, are
28:49
Speaker 1: they mean gutted? The training has been gutted from five
28:51
Speaker 1: months to forty seven days. Why forty seven because Donald
28:55
Speaker 1: Trump is the forty seventh president. That's the kind of
28:59
Speaker 1: mad ga zombie, you know, ask licking that government bureaucrats
29:09
Speaker 1: are now engaged in. And these are the people putting
29:12
Speaker 1: out in the streets. I don't care about human life,
29:15
Speaker 1: don't go about you and me. They don't know individual rights,
29:18
Speaker 1: don't care about individuals, about any of us. They cat
29:22
Speaker 1: about making their numbers, making their numbers. And again we
29:30
Speaker 1: shalking is the people defending them, the people defending them,
29:36
Speaker 1: you know, Tim Poole's of the world, Benny Johnson's of
29:39
Speaker 1: the world. Just yeah, Anyway, Luckily those are some good
29:50
Speaker 1: breakdowns and videos that you can find online and see
29:53
Speaker 1: see what's happening. By the way, I suppose this morning
29:59
Speaker 1: and actually the this video of this too, this video
30:02
Speaker 1: from again from Mines from Minneapolis, same same city. This morning,
30:06
Speaker 1: agents agents converged on a school on high school in Minneapolis.
30:15
Speaker 1: They landed our pepper, spraying students. School administrators and staff
30:21
Speaker 1: try to get agents off school property while ushering students
30:25
Speaker 1: away from armed federal agents. Chaos, panic, children running, just
30:37
Speaker 1: what are they doing? It is high school? Who are
30:40
Speaker 1: they protecting? Whose lives are they saving? On board daylight
30:46
Speaker 1: on us oil. This is not Venezuela. It's not kidnapping Maduo,
30:53
Speaker 1: the kidnapping your kid anyway. You know, I can't I've
30:59
Speaker 1: said this before. I can't think of anything more horrifying
31:04
Speaker 1: right now than ICE. They need to be shut down,
31:10
Speaker 1: they need to be shut down forever. And but they
31:14
Speaker 1: won't be. They won't be nobody has an incentive to
31:16
Speaker 1: do it. Nobody will want to do it. I think
31:19
Speaker 1: anybody in power is going to want to have a
31:23
Speaker 1: you know, a little private army of thousands of people
31:26
Speaker 1: who are willing to go out in the streets and
31:28
Speaker 1: harass Americans and even shoot them. Why not m And again,
31:47
Speaker 1: there's no, there's no. They're not arresting they're not arresting
31:53
Speaker 1: you know, gang leaders, they're not arresting rapists, they're not
31:57
Speaker 1: arresting criminals. There's people who are working there, wasting people
32:04
Speaker 1: who are living in this country, right Yeah, So I'm
32:19
Speaker 1: for abolishing ICE, getting rid of it, and and revamping
32:23
Speaker 1: our immigration laws to make it easier for people to
32:27
Speaker 1: come here so they don't have to cross illegally, and
32:33
Speaker 1: finding a way to legalize those who already here. I know,
32:40
Speaker 1: very unpopular, very unpopular position, but that would be that
32:46
Speaker 1: would be my position. And yeah, Americans out there, who
32:53
Speaker 1: you know, Ice is not very popular right now, which
32:56
Speaker 1: is good. It means Americans are still Americans is not
33:00
Speaker 1: very popular. Rounding up illegal immigrants, even illegal immigrants, never
33:05
Speaker 1: might any immigrants, just as a free fall is not
33:09
Speaker 1: popular among Americans. They want the bad guys, they want
33:12
Speaker 1: the criminals, but just rounding up people is not popular.
33:17
Speaker 1: America is better than Ice. America is better than ice.
33:24
Speaker 1: All right. I'm getting a correction here that the video
33:28
Speaker 1: of Ice kind of approaching the school and harassing students
33:34
Speaker 1: was not this morning. It was yesterday morning. So before
33:37
Speaker 1: the shooting. Today all the schools in Minneapolis were closed
33:41
Speaker 1: because of the shooting. So because of the shooting, they've
33:46
Speaker 1: all been closed. All right. So that's my take on
33:52
Speaker 1: the Ice murder. And we'll see how this story develops.
33:57
Speaker 1: I'll keep you updated and we'll see if anybody else
34:00
Speaker 1: joins me. And I mean, I'm sure they will be,
34:03
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there are people condemning this. But let's see,
34:06
Speaker 1: let's see how many people who are not leftists, uh,
34:09
Speaker 1: stand up and condemn this, and how many of them
34:12
Speaker 1: call for abolishing ice. I mean, Ilia Solman has already
34:17
Speaker 1: done so so good for Ilia uh early. I use
34:20
Speaker 1: a lot of Ilia's material on legal stuff. He's very good.
34:23
Speaker 1: But I is already already condemned this, So I'm curious
34:30
Speaker 1: what did? What did Ben Shapiro? Is it so? Uh?
34:34
Speaker 1: Cole Tavit says all watch Ben Shapiro take and now yours.
34:37
Speaker 1: I don't know the details about this, but I'm mostly
34:40
Speaker 1: with you on the subject. And it's sad this is happening.
34:44
Speaker 1: Was Ben Shapiro trying to rationalize this? He was trying
34:46
Speaker 1: to justify this shooting. I mean, Ben, who who's pretty
34:50
Speaker 1: good at analyzing videos and slow slowing down and doing that.
34:55
Speaker 1: I mean, is he is he afraid that if he
34:57
Speaker 1: comes out against I, you see, lose his audience? What?
35:01
Speaker 1: What is? What is Ben shape were thinking? I mean Ben,
35:08
Speaker 1: I still think Ben is better than this, But I
35:11
Speaker 1: guess I'm wrong. I guess none of them are. The
35:15
Speaker 1: two beholden to a a mindless, hateful, angry uh audience
35:28
Speaker 1: that that just won't tolerate, won't tolerate any kind of
35:31
Speaker 1: sympathy for somebody who doesn't do exactly what the police
35:35
Speaker 1: tell them. To do. Imagine that these are these are
35:39
Speaker 1: supposedly mega who who you know, not in favor of
35:45
Speaker 1: you know, you suppose the individualists want to stand up
35:48
Speaker 1: to the police. You know. It's it's it's definitely murder.
35:58
Speaker 1: It's not murder in the first degree, it's not pmeditated.
36:04
Speaker 1: And the fact that he shot a second and third
36:07
Speaker 1: time his intention is to kill and there's nobody life
36:12
Speaker 1: at risk, there's no self defense involved. Maybe you could
36:16
Speaker 1: all get the first shot he panicked. Maybe you could
36:19
Speaker 1: all get the first shot is panic. Now I don't
36:22
Speaker 1: know all the legal definitions. Maybe by legal definitions it's
36:25
Speaker 1: not first degree, it's not murder, but it just seems
36:29
Speaker 1: like murder. It's killing somebody for no reason, killing somebody
36:35
Speaker 1: for no reason. Again, Shot two, Shot three cannot be justified.
36:41
Speaker 1: Curious how Ben Shapiro could justify this. It's disgusting. It
36:45
Speaker 1: just it horrifies me. It horrifies me that somebody like
36:55
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro would justify this. Again, go and make your
36:57
Speaker 1: own mind up, go and watch the video. Anyway, all right,
37:18
Speaker 1: let's see, let's move on to Venezuela, another what we
37:23
Speaker 1: call it interesting place. Anyway, A few things about Venezuela.
37:28
Speaker 1: So we talked about the the the oil tanka that
37:32
Speaker 1: was taken yesterday. So basically, what the United States is
37:36
Speaker 1: trying to do is block all the ability of Venezuela
37:41
Speaker 1: to export oil without getting the approval of the United States.
37:45
Speaker 1: So to do that, it's not like it's run it's
37:47
Speaker 1: hunting down and running down all the shadow tanka's out there.
37:53
Speaker 1: The basically focused on those that are working with Venezuela
37:57
Speaker 1: to move oil out of Venezuela. The reason they can
38:00
Speaker 1: hunted this one down is because it approached Venezuela, the
38:05
Speaker 1: coast got tried to board it. I didn't know this
38:08
Speaker 1: yesterday when when I was telling you the story. The
38:10
Speaker 1: cost got tried to board it, and the tank evaded,
38:15
Speaker 1: got a wait and kind of disappeared from the radar
38:18
Speaker 1: for a while. And so they were committed to kind
38:21
Speaker 1: of tracking this down because they tried aboard it, and
38:24
Speaker 1: and and and the tanker man to evade them. So
38:29
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that they're chasing down every every
38:33
Speaker 1: shadow boat out there. It's it's the shadow boats of
38:37
Speaker 1: the unregistered ones that are going around the sanctions. There's
38:42
Speaker 1: nothing to suggest yet that the Trumpeter station is seriously
38:45
Speaker 1: going after all the Russian shadow boats that are shipping
38:48
Speaker 1: oil out of Russia. That would really piss off Putin.
38:53
Speaker 1: This was ready, I think pissed off Putin a little bit,
38:55
Speaker 1: but that would really push it, you know, piss them off.
38:58
Speaker 1: What they're really trying to do is take control over,
39:04
Speaker 1: you know, the oil export out of Venezuela. You know,
39:07
Speaker 1: the other day a number of these boats try to
39:10
Speaker 1: leave venetuil import all at once in order to overwhelm
39:17
Speaker 1: the US assets trying to stop them, and indeed many
39:21
Speaker 1: of them got away and one of them was boarded.
39:25
Speaker 1: So the ultimately this is all a story about the
39:30
Speaker 1: US trying to control venezuel and oil and then control
39:34
Speaker 1: this oil where it goes at, where price it goes,
39:38
Speaker 1: and where the money goes and where the money goes
39:40
Speaker 1: right now, you know, Trump has made it very clear
39:44
Speaker 1: that the idea is to control Venezuela and oil for years,
39:50
Speaker 1: for years to come. This is not a short term plant.
39:52
Speaker 1: They want to have control over the oil for years
39:55
Speaker 1: to come. This is what interests them. It's not about
39:57
Speaker 1: freedom for Venezuela, and it's it's not about any that
40:00
Speaker 1: the fundamental is it is making sure that the oil
40:09
Speaker 1: flows flows to the United States and the day and
40:13
Speaker 1: then the United States can control where it is, where
40:16
Speaker 1: it is sold. I've told you this in the past.
40:19
Speaker 1: The reason they're so interested in Venezuela and oil, particularly
40:23
Speaker 1: for the US is because of the refineries in the
40:26
Speaker 1: Gulf Coast, which are you know, the best in the
40:29
Speaker 1: world in terms of finding heavy crude. And there's a
40:33
Speaker 1: shortage of heavy crude in the world. There's just not
40:35
Speaker 1: a lot of it, you know, it's hard to get
40:37
Speaker 1: it from Canada. Canada has heavy crude. Russia has heavy
40:41
Speaker 1: crude crude. But the whole idea is not to buy
40:43
Speaker 1: oil from Russia because we're em balgoing Russia because of
40:46
Speaker 1: the war. Venezuela has a huge quantity of heavy crude
40:50
Speaker 1: and a lot of a lot of reserves, a massive
40:53
Speaker 1: amount of reserves. And the United States has a lot
40:57
Speaker 1: of built up capacity in terms of a fine incapacity
41:00
Speaker 1: to deal with heavy crude. So and Venezuela's close, it's
41:04
Speaker 1: easy to get to. Uh, there's no geopolitical risk in
41:08
Speaker 1: transporting it that far. They could be a war somewhere
41:11
Speaker 1: in there in the world and US could still get
41:13
Speaker 1: its coude from Venezuela to the golf then from the
41:18
Speaker 1: golf that you know, the refined products, once it's refined
41:21
Speaker 1: could go to the United States, they could be exported. UH.
41:24
Speaker 1: There were a lot of there were a lot of avenues.
41:28
Speaker 1: So there's real demand an interest for private industry to
41:33
Speaker 1: get the coude to the refiners, refiners in the southern
41:41
Speaker 1: the southern Golf. UH. Most of the most of the
41:44
Speaker 1: heavy coud that arrives comes from Canada. It's an overwhelming majority,
41:49
Speaker 1: some from Mexico UH and and a tiny bed is
41:54
Speaker 1: coming from Venezuela over the last couple of years. Historically,
41:57
Speaker 1: Venezuela is a major source, but of course that has
42:01
Speaker 1: gone away since twenty eighteen, that has really disappeared. Mexico
42:09
Speaker 1: messkes shipping is not that large. It's almost all Canadian Canadian.
42:16
Speaker 1: The United States is a massive exporter of oil, but
42:21
Speaker 1: the United States produces the oil that we produce right
42:27
Speaker 1: and by the way, the United States produces more oil
42:29
Speaker 1: than any other country in the world. We pump out
42:31
Speaker 1: of the ground more oil than any other country in
42:33
Speaker 1: the ground in the world. Our oil is light and sweet,
42:38
Speaker 1: which is very different than the oil that comes from
42:40
Speaker 1: the Canadian oil sands, or that comes from the venetuil
42:44
Speaker 1: and oil fields. And you know, the oil in Saudi
42:52
Speaker 1: Arabia is very light. Oil in the Middle East is light, easy,
42:57
Speaker 1: easy to deal with, easy to ship. You know, the
43:00
Speaker 1: heavy oil is also difficult to ship. It needs to
43:02
Speaker 1: be watered down with other mixed up with other oil
43:06
Speaker 1: and to water down. But yeah, I mean it's it's
43:10
Speaker 1: the amount of crude that the US produces and then
43:13
Speaker 1: ships is is pretty amazing. And indeed, again the United
43:20
Speaker 1: States the largest producer of crude oil in the world,
43:24
Speaker 1: more than Saudi Arabia. Now why do they care so
43:30
Speaker 1: much about the oil, Well, it's a ggic acid. We've
43:34
Speaker 1: talked about this in terms of China, in terms of
43:36
Speaker 1: potential war, in terms of Taiwan and all that. There's
43:39
Speaker 1: no question about that. But more than but more than that,
43:42
Speaker 1: Trump is also promised to lower gasoline prices, to get
43:45
Speaker 1: prices down, and you know that's a big issue, is
43:50
Speaker 1: a fodability and he can say that he's doing this,
43:54
Speaker 1: he's fighting for the American people. He's trying to get
43:56
Speaker 1: lower prices. You know, this oil from Venezuela will help
43:59
Speaker 1: lower the prices and increased supply. Of course, it'll take
44:03
Speaker 1: here years for it to have a big impact. It's
44:07
Speaker 1: going to take years, maybe a decade, to get those
44:09
Speaker 1: oil fields up and running back to capacity the way
44:12
Speaker 1: there were a couple of decades ago. It'll take a
44:15
Speaker 1: long time to get that oil out and shipped and
44:19
Speaker 1: introduced into the world market. It's why oil prices are
44:21
Speaker 1: not dramatically declining. It's not like you can open the
44:24
Speaker 1: spigot tomorrow and this oil comes. But it is true
44:29
Speaker 1: that the more of this oil comes into the world market,
44:32
Speaker 1: the lower the price of oil is. The lower the
44:34
Speaker 1: price of your gasoline is, the more difficult it is
44:40
Speaker 1: for American producers to produce a profit from pumping oil.
44:46
Speaker 1: American oil is not cheap to get out of the
44:48
Speaker 1: ground because much of it comes from fracking. It's not
44:51
Speaker 1: like Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia, the oil is super
44:54
Speaker 1: cheap to get out of the ground. It's super easy,
44:56
Speaker 1: and it's super cheap. US oil is expended. As all
45:01
Speaker 1: prices come down, profit margins decline, the incentive to frack declines,
45:08
Speaker 1: and you will see a decline in the production of
45:11
Speaker 1: oil in the United States there's very little investment going
45:14
Speaker 1: on right now because oil is under sixty dollars a barrel.
45:18
Speaker 1: Very little investment going on in new fields right now,
45:22
Speaker 1: in new oil wells right now for that reason. So
45:25
Speaker 1: you've got this you know double, you know split, where
45:31
Speaker 1: the lower or prices are, the better it is for consumers,
45:33
Speaker 1: but the worse it is for actual American producers of oil.
45:37
Speaker 1: Not that that should matter to anybody. We're not central planners.
45:41
Speaker 1: Trump shouldn't be a central planner. Leave markets alone. I mean, yep,
45:52
Speaker 1: all right, let's see. I mean, prices are cheap right now,
45:56
Speaker 1: fifty six dollars a barrel of West Texas intermediate oil.
46:01
Speaker 1: And that's because OPEC has boosted production over the over
46:04
Speaker 1: the last year. And uh, the supply is up, suppliers up.
46:12
Speaker 1: You know. It wasn't that long ago that oil battle
46:15
Speaker 1: of oil was close to eighty bucks and rumors had
46:18
Speaker 1: it going to one hundred. All right, what else do
46:23
Speaker 1: we want to say about oil? Yeah? So the idea
46:31
Speaker 1: is that, as I said yesterday, the United States would
46:33
Speaker 1: control the sale of it its oil, and oil the
46:36
Speaker 1: money from the sale would all be put into offshore
46:40
Speaker 1: an offshore bank account of a US bank that is
46:48
Speaker 1: not a US treasury. That is, it would be like
46:51
Speaker 1: a a an independent back account that the United States
46:57
Speaker 1: controlled how the money was used, but it did own it.
47:03
Speaker 1: How that is legal? I don't know how that is constitutional?
47:06
Speaker 1: I do not know. How do you decide which American
47:09
Speaker 1: bank is going to have these billions and billions of
47:12
Speaker 1: dollars you know, deposited in it? Well? Who contributes more
47:18
Speaker 1: to the new ballroom in the White House? So the
47:25
Speaker 1: money is going to be in this external bank account
47:28
Speaker 1: outside the United States. People are trying to figure out
47:31
Speaker 1: how this will all work, who gets to control it,
47:36
Speaker 1: who decides is Congress gonna have any say in how
47:41
Speaker 1: the funds are dispersed, and exactly by what right is
47:46
Speaker 1: this money? You know? God? But what right is this
47:51
Speaker 1: money being held by an American bank, by an American entity,
47:55
Speaker 1: by the US government? None of this is clear. Will
48:01
Speaker 1: Trump have unilateral Will he have unilateral authority to oversee
48:06
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in Venezuelan oil money? Will US of
48:12
Speaker 1: Venezuela taxpayers have access to the money or to decisions
48:17
Speaker 1: about the money. The point is, I mean spokesman for
48:28
Speaker 1: the administration emphasizing that the United States will control this
48:32
Speaker 1: money no matter what. So and and it'll be done
48:40
Speaker 1: through the Energy Department, not the Treasury Department because they
48:42
Speaker 1: don't want they don't want to be counter towards Treasury
48:45
Speaker 1: because then you'll have to be added to the budget
48:47
Speaker 1: and Congress will have to allocate it. Uh. You know,
48:55
Speaker 1: Supposedly all postseats on the sale of Venezuelan Coude oil
48:58
Speaker 1: and all products will first set up in use controlled
49:01
Speaker 1: accounts at globally registered banks. The US will maintain control
49:05
Speaker 1: of these funds. Yeah, I mean the whole thing is
49:13
Speaker 1: I mean, why not just let American oil companies back
49:16
Speaker 1: in and let them control the funds that limb extract,
49:20
Speaker 1: extract the oil, sell the oil and global markets, open
49:23
Speaker 1: up the ports and let you know, tell them you
49:26
Speaker 1: can't sell it to China, whatever you want to do,
49:28
Speaker 1: and let them control the money. I don't. I mean,
49:32
Speaker 1: this is statism authoritarianism one O one, one, O two
49:37
Speaker 1: two or one, I don't know, but it's it's clearly
49:40
Speaker 1: statism and authoritarianism. But you know, who am I to
49:43
Speaker 1: question what the greatest president in American history is actually doing.
49:47
Speaker 1: I mean, remember, we'd be told over and over again,
49:51
Speaker 1: this is the greatest. He knows exactly what he's doing,
49:53
Speaker 1: and he's he's the greatest in the perspective of objectivism.
49:56
Speaker 1: So he's the greatest visaly capitalism, freedom, liberty. Pretty amazing,
50:05
Speaker 1: all right, Finally Congress has done something. It's shocking. I
50:10
Speaker 1: know it was hard for me to believe when I
50:11
Speaker 1: read the headline, but yeah, this morning, the Senate. We
50:16
Speaker 1: don't yet know if the House will follow up, but
50:18
Speaker 1: the Senate has actually had a procedural vote. It's not
50:22
Speaker 1: an actual vote, there's no action there will be taken,
50:26
Speaker 1: but a procedure vote, and it voted fifty two to
50:29
Speaker 1: forty seven. Listen to this to block President Trump from
50:34
Speaker 1: further military action in Venezuela. So it's basically you know,
50:40
Speaker 1: it's basically called a war powers resolution. It only needs
50:45
Speaker 1: a simple majority, and it will require the resolution acquires
50:50
Speaker 1: Trump to seek approval of Congress before using military force
50:54
Speaker 1: again in Venezuela. The measure was brought by Democratic Senator
50:59
Speaker 1: Tim Kay of Virginia and Republicans sender Rand Paul of Kentucky. Now,
51:05
Speaker 1: the votes procedure, but it indicates that the manager has
51:09
Speaker 1: the votes to pass if it comes to find a
51:11
Speaker 1: vote in the Senate. It would then go to the House,
51:15
Speaker 1: where Republicans ever raised a thin majority, and you know
51:18
Speaker 1: they if all Democrats vote for it and a few Republicans,
51:22
Speaker 1: like in the Centate vote for it's done. The Republicans
51:24
Speaker 1: who voted for this Susan College, you, Maine, Lisa Mkowski,
51:29
Speaker 1: Josh Holly, and Missouri. That's surprising. H Indiana's Todd Young
51:35
Speaker 1: and Rand Paul. So five Republicans that was enough to
51:40
Speaker 1: clear the vote. I don't know if you Republicans voting
51:43
Speaker 1: against Trump, WHOA, it's pretty amazing. And the fact that
51:49
Speaker 1: Josh Holly is among them is a little I don't know, striking.
51:53
Speaker 1: Maybe he's taking the mag of you that you know, yeah,
51:57
Speaker 1: you promised no wars and maybe that's his position. I
51:59
Speaker 1: don't no, I'll have to research what Josh Holly's position
52:02
Speaker 1: is on this anyway. Yes, So this is what Rand
52:09
Speaker 1: Paul had to say, quote, mighte no mistake? Bombing another
52:12
Speaker 1: nations capital and removing their leader is an act of war,
52:15
Speaker 1: plain and simple. No provision in the Constitution provides such
52:19
Speaker 1: powers to the presidency. Good for Rand Paul. I mean
52:24
Speaker 1: my disagreement with Rand Paul about a bunch of different things.
52:29
Speaker 1: But he's absolutely he is absolutely right about this. Susan Collins,
52:35
Speaker 1: who wrote after the vote. While I support the operation
52:38
Speaker 1: to seize Nicholas Maduo, which was extraordinary in its precision
52:41
Speaker 1: and complex, precision and complexity, I do not support committing
52:45
Speaker 1: additional US forces to entering into long term military involvement
52:49
Speaker 1: in Venezuela or Greenland without specific congressional approval. Again, does
52:56
Speaker 1: she view the initial one as constitutional and non constitutional?
53:05
Speaker 1: We will we will see, all right, all right? Update
53:11
Speaker 1: about about i Wan, Update about Iwan. We haven't reached
53:18
Speaker 1: tipping point yet. I'm watching, but we haven't reached. Demonstrations
53:23
Speaker 1: continue and accelerating, and there's reasons to believe beyond the
53:32
Speaker 1: demonstrations that this regime does not have long to survive. Look,
53:37
Speaker 1: the economy of Yuan is in tatas. It is completely
53:42
Speaker 1: I mean, inflation is that of control. The local currency
53:46
Speaker 1: is basically worthless. It's toilet paper. Uh Tehran and and
53:52
Speaker 1: many uranium cities have no water. Literally, there is no water.
53:57
Speaker 1: The water has been so mismanaged that route a few
54:01
Speaker 1: years of drought here have made it impossible. There was
54:06
Speaker 1: the reservoirs of all declined in the Uranians. Water generation
54:12
Speaker 1: depends on water intensive infrastructure and so you get constant blackouts.
54:18
Speaker 1: So this is this revolution is a lot more than
54:22
Speaker 1: a theoretical revolution about freedom, which which is would be fantastic.
54:27
Speaker 1: It's about existential, it's about existence, it's about life, it's
54:34
Speaker 1: about living. Resources are failing, just he's failing. Water is failing.
54:42
Speaker 1: Money's gone. You know, there's oil sales which are done
54:50
Speaker 1: under the table because of imbogos, because of sanctions, are
54:55
Speaker 1: still happening. But that's a cheaper prices and pretty shady.
55:00
Speaker 1: And where's that money going to nuclear power, to nuclear
55:03
Speaker 1: bomb programs, to doing what? Where's all that money going?
55:08
Speaker 1: Not not to helping Iranian citizens. You know, US are
55:15
Speaker 1: sanctioned ELON and so like you say, Europe has sanctions
55:20
Speaker 1: imposted on them as well, which have made it very
55:22
Speaker 1: difficult for UoN to do anything economically. While all revenue
55:30
Speaker 1: is the backbone, there's only so much they can sell.
55:33
Speaker 1: Right now, they're selling ninety of the oil to China,
55:38
Speaker 1: so Tehran is completely dependent on Beijing. And as all
55:44
Speaker 1: prices have gone down, that is dramatically hooked ion as
55:49
Speaker 1: if Venezuela oil comes online or prices go down more.
55:52
Speaker 1: If that happens, it hurts Iran. There's no falln currency.
56:00
Speaker 1: UH and again inflation out of control, a rate of
56:05
Speaker 1: forty two point in December. Just in December. Food prices
56:13
Speaker 1: in December went up sevent Savings are worthless given inflation,
56:22
Speaker 1: Pensions worthless given inflation. People have very little lose. People
56:28
Speaker 1: have very little to lose, and they even I think
56:31
Speaker 1: people who generally support this regime have given up on
56:34
Speaker 1: the regime. Even that Atlantic Magazine has a story this
56:39
Speaker 1: morning with the title saying change may be coming to
56:42
Speaker 1: Iran and UH emphasizing that they're now scared. The regime
56:49
Speaker 1: is scared that you know, what happened in Venezuela might
56:52
Speaker 1: happen in Iran, that the US is serious about it
56:56
Speaker 1: and will do something. You know, I'm most skeptical about
57:00
Speaker 1: this happening on the good news front, I mean, Trump
57:05
Speaker 1: is meeting supposely later today with Iwon's conference, paulov Ueza,
57:13
Speaker 1: the the shaw I guess if they if they annointed
57:16
Speaker 1: him at Malo Lago today, that would be good. It'd
57:21
Speaker 1: be good if Trump got behind him. Remember what he
57:24
Speaker 1: did in Venezuela, which is through the opposition leaders under
57:28
Speaker 1: the bus. Maybe hear some coordinated effort to install the
57:34
Speaker 1: shaw as a in kind of a constitution monarchy, to
57:41
Speaker 1: re establish secular government in Iwon, which would be, as
57:47
Speaker 1: I said, an amazing achievement. In the meantime, in spite
57:51
Speaker 1: of the fact that Iwan is bankrupt, continues, work continues
57:57
Speaker 1: on its nuclear program. In spite of the damage done
58:00
Speaker 1: to the nuclear program by Israel. In the United States,
58:06
Speaker 1: a number of nuclear sites there was satellite photos, image
58:10
Speaker 1: show construction, show work on it. They're trying to rebuild
58:16
Speaker 1: some of the programs that they had. Of course, Trump
58:20
Speaker 1: has claimed that evidence of that would be reason enough
58:24
Speaker 1: to bomb them again. We will see. I think a
58:31
Speaker 1: considered focused effort by the United States and Israel from
58:38
Speaker 1: the air could easily tilt this and easily achieve tipping
58:43
Speaker 1: points and being about a complete revolution in Iran. There
58:47
Speaker 1: are rumors of I think we talked about this yesterday,
58:50
Speaker 1: of Raniance trying to get visas to anywhere, you know, France, Canada,
58:56
Speaker 1: trying to get out of there, or at least try
58:58
Speaker 1: to get their families out. We already reported on the
59:04
Speaker 1: on how manyes, you know, ready to go with twenty
59:11
Speaker 1: three people, family and advisors to Moscow if he comes
59:16
Speaker 1: to conclusion the regime cannot be saved. Again, we're not
59:21
Speaker 1: there yet. We're not there yet. The demonstrations in Tehran
59:25
Speaker 1: are going to get going to have to get bigger,
59:28
Speaker 1: more substantial, more sustained, and they're going to have to
59:32
Speaker 1: focus in on, you know, infrastructure of the regime. Remember,
59:41
Speaker 1: Tehran is a very large city. You would to really
59:46
Speaker 1: have a revolution there, you would need millions of people
59:48
Speaker 1: on the streets. They're probably hundreds of thousands now. You
59:51
Speaker 1: need to get it up to millions. There needs to
59:53
Speaker 1: be a plan, and there needs to be, of course,
59:55
Speaker 1: some military force. The tips the tips in their favor. Now,
1:00:02
Speaker 1: let me just note that, you know, I know a
1:00:06
Speaker 1: lot of you are following a lot of different Iranians
1:00:10
Speaker 1: broadcasting about Iran. There's a lot of stuff online. I
1:00:14
Speaker 1: follow it to, I watch it all. I find them
1:00:18
Speaker 1: to be over optimistic, over enthusiastic, and understandable. I mean
1:00:25
Speaker 1: not blaming them for anything they they they think is imminent.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: They have been thinking as imminent for days now. They
1:00:33
Speaker 1: keep reporting on on town on cities coming out of
1:00:37
Speaker 1: control of the demonstrations, which might be true, it might
1:00:39
Speaker 1: not be true. But these are relatively minor cities outside
1:00:43
Speaker 1: of Tehran. The big other cities have not seen the
1:00:46
Speaker 1: kind of level again, of of of demonstrations that we
1:00:50
Speaker 1: would need to reach the tipping point. I just warn you,
1:00:54
Speaker 1: warn you that. And there's a reason for this. And
1:00:58
Speaker 1: I mean, the more they can the more, the more
1:01:00
Speaker 1: they can hype this, and I think it's completely justified.
1:01:05
Speaker 1: The more they'll get support, the more they can hopefully
1:01:08
Speaker 1: get Israel or the United States intervene. But you know,
1:01:12
Speaker 1: for the sake of objectivity, I just don't think it's
1:01:17
Speaker 1: a yet. I don't think it's a I think this
1:01:19
Speaker 1: might very well be it. That is, I think this
1:01:22
Speaker 1: series of demonstrations as it grows, as it lengthens, and
1:01:26
Speaker 1: as the regime becomes more brutal. So far, the regime
1:01:29
Speaker 1: has killed people. Some as thirty five known people have died.
1:01:34
Speaker 1: Others are saying it's in hundreds. But it's not the
1:01:37
Speaker 1: kind of oppression that we saw in the past where
1:01:40
Speaker 1: thousands of people were killed. The regimers is trying to
1:01:45
Speaker 1: see if they can weight them out, if they can
1:01:47
Speaker 1: wait the demonstrators out, So it's it's yet to be
1:01:53
Speaker 1: seen what exactly what exactly the net result of all
1:01:58
Speaker 1: of that is, all right, let's completely shift gears talk
1:02:06
Speaker 1: about the business world. Something from the business world, which
1:02:08
Speaker 1: I think is going to be fascinating and really really
1:02:11
Speaker 1: interesting and really really horvable and so on. As I
1:02:15
Speaker 1: think everybody in the world knows, one of Brothers is
1:02:19
Speaker 1: a for sale, and one of Brothers, indeed one of
1:02:22
Speaker 1: Brothers that also owns HBO, Max and and lots of properties,
1:02:28
Speaker 1: including the studios, but also CNN and a lot of others.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: It's basically put itself up for sale. There are two
1:02:34
Speaker 1: parties competing for that sale, one that is so far
1:02:37
Speaker 1: one which is Netflix. One of Brothers has agreed to
1:02:41
Speaker 1: sell itself to Netflix and that deal supposedly is moving forward.
1:02:50
Speaker 1: In the meantime, Paramount, owned by the Ellison's. We've talked
1:02:54
Speaker 1: about this in the past, show is trying to bid
1:02:59
Speaker 1: for one abother kind of in a hostile takeover. That is,
1:03:02
Speaker 1: they're trying to offer them more than Netflix to the
1:03:08
Speaker 1: point where the board will have no choice but to agree,
1:03:11
Speaker 1: or even just shareholders will impose that deal on the board.
1:03:17
Speaker 1: So far, the board is resisted and said no. Speculation
1:03:21
Speaker 1: is that Paramount would have to offer thirty four dollars
1:03:23
Speaker 1: a share, which is by most accounts kind of insane
1:03:31
Speaker 1: territory or nosebleed territory, very very high price in order
1:03:35
Speaker 1: to get Warner Brothers to cancel the deal with Netflix
1:03:38
Speaker 1: and shift over to a paramount. There's also a penalty
1:03:42
Speaker 1: if Warner Brothers changes their minds and goes with Pamount,
1:03:44
Speaker 1: they'd have to pay Netflix a break up penalty. So
1:03:47
Speaker 1: all of that is priced in, so they're estimating about
1:03:50
Speaker 1: thirty four dollars a share in the meantime. Of course,
1:03:54
Speaker 1: once this deal is approved by shareholders and everybody signs
1:03:58
Speaker 1: off on it, then you will get the Justice Department
1:04:03
Speaker 1: looking at this deal. Uh, this deal is is going
1:04:08
Speaker 1: to come under anti trust scrutiny. It could come under
1:04:13
Speaker 1: anti trust scrutiny under uh, you know, section seven of
1:04:18
Speaker 1: the Clayton Act, one of the anti trust laws, where
1:04:21
Speaker 1: they would try to block the acquisition quite a try
1:04:24
Speaker 1: to block the sale. Or it could come under Section
1:04:27
Speaker 1: two of the Showman Act. And in that case, the
1:04:31
Speaker 1: entire business model the Netflix has could come under scrutiny
1:04:35
Speaker 1: and the Justice Barber could seek to completely restructure Netflix.
1:04:41
Speaker 1: This is by the way, in a sense, being done
1:04:44
Speaker 1: before uh you know, in the in the golden age
1:04:49
Speaker 1: of cinema in the UH going all the way back
1:04:54
Speaker 1: to the forties, thirties, forties, fifties, the big studios I
1:05:00
Speaker 1: had all kinds of arrangements in terms of how they
1:05:03
Speaker 1: sold their movies and whether they A lot of studios
1:05:07
Speaker 1: also owned cinemas. Cinemas cinema chains owned the studios. There's
1:05:11
Speaker 1: a lot of vertical integration within the industry. And then
1:05:16
Speaker 1: they were sued under the Shuman Act anti trust Act,
1:05:20
Speaker 1: which reached the Supreme Court in nineteen forty eight, and
1:05:23
Speaker 1: basically there was something called that has come to be
1:05:26
Speaker 1: known the Palamount Consent Decree, which basically lays out all
1:05:30
Speaker 1: the rules that says theater chains need to separate themselves
1:05:34
Speaker 1: from studios. Studios can't use certain tactics when selling their movies,
1:05:41
Speaker 1: like you know what they call block booking. You can't
1:05:44
Speaker 1: force theaters to license films in bundles. You can't give
1:05:49
Speaker 1: exclusive rights for overly brought territories. Anyway, the Supreme Court
1:05:55
Speaker 1: and generally anti trust in those days in the forties
1:06:00
Speaker 1: and thirties and forties. We're really excited about telling businesses
1:06:06
Speaker 1: what kind of contracts they could or couldn't sign, they
1:06:09
Speaker 1: couldn't get engaged in, and they wanted to regulate through
1:06:13
Speaker 1: anti trust. Much of the business activity in the United States,
1:06:17
Speaker 1: I mean, to large extent, a lot of the a
1:06:19
Speaker 1: lot of mythology about free markets in the United States
1:06:22
Speaker 1: is completely it is completely uh you know, uh, ridiculous
1:06:27
Speaker 1: and off because the reality is that businesses were heavily regulated.
1:06:33
Speaker 1: Uh and anti trust was used to a large extent
1:06:36
Speaker 1: to do that regulation, right, all right, Uh, anyway, let's see.
1:07:01
Speaker 1: So yeah, so anyway, it's going to be interesting to
1:07:04
Speaker 1: see what they go after Netflix for. They could very well.
1:07:08
Speaker 1: You know, Netflix produces movies. It hosts the movies, and
1:07:14
Speaker 1: it screened the movies into your home, and it owns
1:07:17
Speaker 1: the movies. It also leases the movies out to other
1:07:20
Speaker 1: streaming It also leases movies from other studios, and it
1:07:27
Speaker 1: does all that and it's in all those contracts, detailed contracts.
1:07:31
Speaker 1: Does the government want to get involved in regulating all that?
1:07:36
Speaker 1: During the Reagan era, a lot of deregulation impacted this
1:07:40
Speaker 1: and basically this decree, this old decree from nineteen forty
1:07:43
Speaker 1: eight was basically made useless and ignored, and ultimately with
1:07:50
Speaker 1: streaming it all went away. And what you got is
1:07:54
Speaker 1: a lot of innovation, a lot of creativity. What you
1:07:57
Speaker 1: got is a lot of competition. But the argument it's
1:08:00
Speaker 1: going to be made the Netflix with HBO control too much,
1:08:03
Speaker 1: and Netflix plus warn above this control too much of
1:08:07
Speaker 1: the production and too much of the streaming. Not what's
1:08:10
Speaker 1: too much? Some say thirty percent okay, but and some say, well,
1:08:17
Speaker 1: it really gets bad if it's more than fifty percent.
1:08:20
Speaker 1: But if are you including are you including a YouTube
1:08:24
Speaker 1: in the thirty percent and fifty percent? What are exactly
1:08:28
Speaker 1: are you including? How about TikTok? Is TikTok a competitor
1:08:35
Speaker 1: of Netflix? Well, isn't that competitive? The point is all
1:08:41
Speaker 1: of this is arbitrary. All of this is random and arbitrary.
1:08:47
Speaker 1: It is giving the government power over business that is
1:08:53
Speaker 1: uh just absurd, unnecessary economically, and a clear violation of
1:09:00
Speaker 1: the property rights of the owners of the businesses. Why
1:09:03
Speaker 1: can't one of brothers decide who to sell to? Why
1:09:06
Speaker 1: is it the government's business? Now? Add to that the
1:09:13
Speaker 1: fact that Trump has expressed serious reservations about Netflix buying
1:09:19
Speaker 1: one of Brothers. Why because Netflix is considered a leftist
1:09:23
Speaker 1: organization dominated by woke managers, whoa, now we'll have one
1:09:30
Speaker 1: of brothers and all of this and HBO now fall
1:09:34
Speaker 1: under woke managers. We don't want that, says Donald Trump.
1:09:38
Speaker 1: Talk about freedom of speech, talk about violating people's freedom
1:09:41
Speaker 1: of speech, categorizing you know, media based on their views
1:09:47
Speaker 1: and telling them making merge or not based on whether
1:09:51
Speaker 1: you want their views to grow and influence or shrinking influence. Again,
1:09:54
Speaker 1: none of the government's business palamounts, on the other hand,
1:09:58
Speaker 1: very friendly to Donald Try. The Ellisons are big contributors
1:10:03
Speaker 1: to his campaign and have committed to taking on a
1:10:08
Speaker 1: more right wing if you will perspective. Also, Netflix doesn't
1:10:13
Speaker 1: want CNN, they will spin it off, whereas Paramount wants CNN,
1:10:17
Speaker 1: wants to convert it into Fox Light or Fox Strong
1:10:20
Speaker 1: or Fox something. And yet the government is involved in
1:10:25
Speaker 1: all of these decisions and every aspect of this. Basically,
1:10:31
Speaker 1: the merger will not be determined by what makes sense,
1:10:35
Speaker 1: what makes economic sense, what makes profitable sense to shareholders,
1:10:41
Speaker 1: who is willing to take on more risk, what the
1:10:43
Speaker 1: competitive factors are, how the industry shapes up from a
1:10:46
Speaker 1: competitive perspective. None of that will play oh well, will
1:10:49
Speaker 1: determine whether this merger goes through or not is I
1:10:53
Speaker 1: would say the arbitrary assertions of an anti just court
1:10:58
Speaker 1: combined with the arbitrary whims of Donald Trump, this is
1:11:08
Speaker 1: truly horrific. Somebody says that you're better on this front.
1:11:15
Speaker 1: Mostly not, but in some cases it is better. In
1:11:19
Speaker 1: some industries, europe An anti trust accepts much more concentration
1:11:26
Speaker 1: than the United States than the United States, does you know?
1:11:31
Speaker 1: And in some industries as healthy, and other industries it's
1:11:34
Speaker 1: not as healthy. Remember, I mean, as a part of
1:11:36
Speaker 1: a justice blocked Penguin Random House from buying Simon and Schusta.
1:11:44
Speaker 1: They can do this stuff. They can decide who buys it.
1:11:47
Speaker 1: They can decide who can merge, what business strategies make sense,
1:11:51
Speaker 1: and what business strategies don't. They decide not the market. Now, look,
1:11:55
Speaker 1: most mergers fail, Most mergers do not produce good results.
1:12:00
Speaker 1: That's a market result. Let the market sort it out.
1:12:03
Speaker 1: I mean, it's quite likely the Netflix will merge with
1:12:05
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers, take on all these assets JBO Maxim, and
1:12:08
Speaker 1: a few years later it'll be such a bad deal
1:12:11
Speaker 1: that they'll have to splendor off and break it up. Maybe,
1:12:15
Speaker 1: but let the market do it, let the individual choices
1:12:19
Speaker 1: of individuals determine that. But we live in a world.
1:12:24
Speaker 1: We live in a world, and this Trump administration, more
1:12:27
Speaker 1: than any of real central planning, of a desire to
1:12:31
Speaker 1: govern and rule and decide how businesses struct yourself, how
1:12:35
Speaker 1: business shes conduct itself, conduct itself, how industries should be.
1:12:44
Speaker 1: We we live more and more in a world of
1:12:46
Speaker 1: top down decision making. We are I said this years ago.
1:12:49
Speaker 1: I said this during COVID, when COVID started really and
1:12:52
Speaker 1: lockdown's appeared. I said, we are all China now, and
1:12:56
Speaker 1: I think we are all China now. We're all moving
1:12:59
Speaker 1: towards the economic political model of China. Everybody wants to
1:13:02
Speaker 1: be China. This is from the President of the United
1:13:09
Speaker 1: States yesterday. All United States defense defense contractors. These are
1:13:16
Speaker 1: private businesses with shareholders, boards of directors, private businesses. All
1:13:23
Speaker 1: United States defense contractors and the defense industry as a whole.
1:13:27
Speaker 1: Beware just that opening line should sud shivers down your spine.
1:13:36
Speaker 1: I'm sending ice while we make the best military equipment
1:13:41
Speaker 1: in the world. No other countries, even close defense contractors
1:13:45
Speaker 1: are currently issuing massive dividends today shareholders and massive stock
1:13:50
Speaker 1: buybacks at the expense and detriment of investing in planting equipment.
1:13:56
Speaker 1: This situation will no longer be allowed or tolerated. What
1:14:00
Speaker 1: the hell? The President of the United States just said
1:14:05
Speaker 1: that he will not allow a private company to issue
1:14:08
Speaker 1: dividends and do stock buybacks, and by the way, is
1:14:13
Speaker 1: showing how ignoritty is of valuation and economics at the
1:14:19
Speaker 1: same time, I mean and admitting at the same time
1:14:29
Speaker 1: that these companies produced the best weapon systems in the world.
1:14:36
Speaker 1: He continues, Also, executive pay packages in the defenders industry
1:14:40
Speaker 1: are exorbitant and unjustifiable given how slowly these companies are
1:14:44
Speaker 1: delivering vital equipment to our military and our allies. Salaries,
1:14:49
Speaker 1: stock options, and every other form of compensation are far
1:14:52
Speaker 1: too high for these executives. Defense companies are not producing
1:14:56
Speaker 1: how great military equipment rapidly enough, and once is not
1:15:00
Speaker 1: maintaining it properly or quickly. From this moment forward, these
1:15:04
Speaker 1: executives must build new and modern production plans, both for
1:15:08
Speaker 1: delivering and maintaining this important equipment and for building the
1:15:12
Speaker 1: latest models of future military equipment. Until they do so,
1:15:16
Speaker 1: no executive should be allowed to make an excess of
1:15:18
Speaker 1: five million dollars, which, as high as it sounds, is
1:15:21
Speaker 1: a mere fraction of what they are making now. Additionally,
1:15:25
Speaker 1: the maintenance and repair of equipment once sold is far
1:15:28
Speaker 1: too slow and must be immediately enhanced. As President, I'm
1:15:32
Speaker 1: demanding that maintenance be spot on on time. Therefore, I
1:15:38
Speaker 1: will not permit dividends or stock buybacks so defense companies
1:15:42
Speaker 1: until such time as these problems are rectified. Likewise, for
1:15:47
Speaker 1: salaries and executive compensation, military equipment is not being made
1:15:51
Speaker 1: fast enough. It must be built now with the dividends,
1:15:54
Speaker 1: stock buybacks, and over compensation of executives, rather than borrowing
1:15:58
Speaker 1: from financial institutions or getting the money from you from
1:16:00
Speaker 1: the government. Longer term, this is this is good for
1:16:04
Speaker 1: both executives and shareholders because they will be great for
1:16:07
Speaker 1: our country. I know long term, I commander, you know,
1:16:13
Speaker 1: central planner in chief. I know how many dividends should
1:16:19
Speaker 1: be issues. I know I know what you should be
1:16:26
Speaker 1: investing in. I know what equipment should be produced. I
1:16:29
Speaker 1: know the government knows. I mean this is central planning
1:16:37
Speaker 1: par excellence. I mean if this was written by AOC
1:16:40
Speaker 1: or by Elizabeth Warren. You wouldn't be surprised this again
1:16:48
Speaker 1: from the president who some are telling us is one
1:16:52
Speaker 1: of the greatest in American history, and you know, pro liberty,
1:16:56
Speaker 1: freedom because he's going after the left. You know. Uh.
1:17:00
Speaker 1: Trump's method of fighting communism is embracing it. Best way
1:17:06
Speaker 1: to fight the left is to become a leftist. Best
1:17:09
Speaker 1: way to fight the socialist is socially stuff. Do you think,
1:17:12
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie is dangerous? I mean, mum Donnie can evict
1:17:16
Speaker 1: some people from their apartment. It's horrible and terrible, and
1:17:19
Speaker 1: maybe he can even force landlords to sell their building.
1:17:23
Speaker 1: Is horrible, It's just horrible, disgusting. Donald Trump is now
1:17:27
Speaker 1: taking over whole publicly owned companies. If truly what he's
1:17:32
Speaker 1: suggesting is good for shareholders, why aren't shareholders demanding it?
1:17:37
Speaker 1: And if the military thinks that it's stuff is not
1:17:41
Speaker 1: being maintained well enough and the equipment is not being
1:17:43
Speaker 1: built fast enough and all that, and I'm sure it
1:17:45
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with military bureocracy. I'm sure penting
1:17:49
Speaker 1: on bureocracy has nothing to do with all this. Then
1:17:52
Speaker 1: why are they paying so much money? Maybe pay less,
1:17:57
Speaker 1: maybe pay based on performance. The solution cannot be central
1:18:06
Speaker 1: planning from above by Donald Trump. It's not the government's business.
1:18:15
Speaker 1: It's not the government's business to tell us how to live,
1:18:20
Speaker 1: to tell us what to do, to get involved in
1:18:24
Speaker 1: other decisions. The government's businesses protect us and leave us alone.
1:18:29
Speaker 1: It's not the government's business to tell companies whether they
1:18:33
Speaker 1: pay dividends or whether they do stock buybacks. And if
1:18:39
Speaker 1: they don't deliver good products, then there's a business relationship.
1:18:42
Speaker 1: Find them. If they're not maintaining, don't pay them. If
1:18:47
Speaker 1: they are shitty companies, take away their business, cut them loose.
1:18:58
Speaker 1: But this is just ridiculous. It's just ridiculous. And this is,
1:19:04
Speaker 1: of course, the same day that he announced that institutional
1:19:07
Speaker 1: investors will not be allowed to own homes. Where in
1:19:11
Speaker 1: the constitution does it say that the government gets involved?
1:19:13
Speaker 1: And who owns homes, who buys homes, who sells homes
1:19:16
Speaker 1: to whom? I mean, what else does he want to
1:19:19
Speaker 1: control them regularly? What other aspect of our life? And God,
1:19:28
Speaker 1: I see some of you on the chat want to
1:19:30
Speaker 1: give Ice the benefit of the doubt. Why why when
1:19:36
Speaker 1: the evidence is click cut, unequivocal, you can see it
1:19:39
Speaker 1: on video. Why are you giving them a benefit of doubt.
1:19:43
Speaker 1: Why are you giving government thugs the benefit of doubt
1:19:48
Speaker 1: the same people who are telling us who can buy
1:19:51
Speaker 1: our homes how many they could buy. And by the way,
1:19:55
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have time to get into that.
1:19:57
Speaker 1: We'll leave that all right. Finally, final item relating to
1:20:01
Speaker 1: military as well, is again from Donald Trump today, yesterday
1:20:04
Speaker 1: or today maybe this morning. After long and difficult negotiations
1:20:08
Speaker 1: with Senators, congressman, secretaries, and other political representatives, I have
1:20:12
Speaker 1: determined that, for the good of our country, especially in
1:20:15
Speaker 1: these very troubled and dangerous times, a military budget for
1:20:18
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty seven should not be one trillion dollars,
1:20:22
Speaker 1: oh no, but rather one point five trillion dollars. And
1:20:27
Speaker 1: this will allow us to build the quote dream military
1:20:33
Speaker 1: that we have long been entitled, and more importantly, that
1:20:36
Speaker 1: will keep us safe and secure regardless of foe. Now,
1:20:42
Speaker 1: how do we do this right? We are able to
1:20:47
Speaker 1: easily hit the one point five trillion dollar number while
1:20:50
Speaker 1: at the same time producing an unparalleled military force, and
1:20:53
Speaker 1: have the ability to at the same time pay down
1:20:56
Speaker 1: debt and likewise pay a substantial dividend to moderate income
1:20:59
Speaker 1: pay treats within our country. All because of all because
1:21:03
Speaker 1: of tariffs. I would stay at one trillion number. But
1:21:10
Speaker 1: because of tariffs and the tremendous income they bring, amounts
1:21:14
Speaker 1: being generated there would have been unthinkable in the past.
1:21:19
Speaker 1: So we have a president who can't do math, really
1:21:23
Speaker 1: can't do math. And I'm sorry, I know some of
1:21:27
Speaker 1: you resent it when I call him having the economic
1:21:30
Speaker 1: knowledge of a five year old, but he has the
1:21:33
Speaker 1: mathematical ability of a five year old. Or he just lies,
1:21:36
Speaker 1: just blatantly lies about it. We're running right now one
1:21:42
Speaker 1: point nine trillion dollar debts deficits, sorry, one point nine
1:21:46
Speaker 1: trillion dollar deficit with the tariff revenue, with all the tariffs,
1:21:51
Speaker 1: which he, by the way, keeps excluding items from If
1:21:54
Speaker 1: tariffs is so good, why exclude anything from it? Why
1:21:58
Speaker 1: aren't there tariffs on iPhones and bananas? Bananas excluded? iPhones excluded?
1:22:02
Speaker 1: Why they why is? Why? Why they excluded? If tasts
1:22:05
Speaker 1: are so good? But anyway, where you're gonna get well
1:22:09
Speaker 1: one point nine trillion with the tariffs, another half trillion
1:22:15
Speaker 1: on defense. Uh, that brings that up to two point
1:22:18
Speaker 1: four trillion. Who cares, it's just money. We just print
1:22:22
Speaker 1: themal We just botherw some more and a lower interestates
1:22:26
Speaker 1: at the same time. That that is, that is quite
1:22:29
Speaker 1: a recipe. There will force interstates to be low and we'll,
1:22:33
Speaker 1: you know, we'll issue debt like there's no tomorrow, one
1:22:37
Speaker 1: point five zero point five trillion dollar increase in defense
1:22:41
Speaker 1: spending without cutting any spend other spending. I mean, okay, say,
1:22:45
Speaker 1: oh I am going to cut medicaire half a trillion
1:22:49
Speaker 1: dollars and put it all in defense. Well okay, but no, no,
1:22:53
Speaker 1: it's all gonna come for tariffs, and you're gonna get
1:22:54
Speaker 1: a dividend, by the way, You're gonna get a substantial dividend,
1:22:59
Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay down the debt, and we're gonna
1:23:03
Speaker 1: have a one a half trillion dollar military budget. What
1:23:05
Speaker 1: is going to happen when none of that comes true?
1:23:07
Speaker 1: Is anybody gonna go turn around and say, huh, Trump
1:23:11
Speaker 1: can't do math? Will people come up here and say,
1:23:15
Speaker 1: you are You're right? Trump can't do math? You are
1:23:18
Speaker 1: You're right? Trump has an understanding of these things of
1:23:22
Speaker 1: a five year old fifth grader. Fifth grader, I'm right
1:23:30
Speaker 1: about Trump's mental capabilities, or the alternative is he is
1:23:39
Speaker 1: a bold face. I mean, he's even a bigger liar
1:23:41
Speaker 1: than even I think he is. Either way, it's unbelievably
1:23:47
Speaker 1: horrific and unbelievably destructive and generally ridiculous. All right, that
1:23:59
Speaker 1: is the news for this Thursday, January eighth. We will
1:24:06
Speaker 1: now be shifting to your super chat questions. Not many today,
1:24:11
Speaker 1: you guys are going in a dry spell. I see
1:24:14
Speaker 1: you can still ask plenty of time. I can ask questions,
1:24:18
Speaker 1: particularly twenty dollars fifty dollar questions would be really appreciated.
1:24:21
Speaker 1: We need to make up some ground here and in
1:24:24
Speaker 1: order to get to our goals, our fundraising goal for
1:24:27
Speaker 1: the month and for the day for the show. Let
1:24:31
Speaker 1: me also say it's a great way to support the
1:24:34
Speaker 1: show and trade with me. You're you're getting this value.
1:24:38
Speaker 1: You're getting this value at no cost. The cost should
1:24:41
Speaker 1: be reciprocated, reciprocating values value for the value. Trade. You
1:24:47
Speaker 1: can do it here by super Chat or by a sticker.
1:24:50
Speaker 1: We got one hundred and eighty five people watching right now,
1:24:53
Speaker 1: there will one ninety nine. You can jump in. As
1:24:55
Speaker 1: soon as I say that the number of people watching drops,
1:24:58
Speaker 1: they all go away. If you're if you're not here alive,
1:25:02
Speaker 1: please consider becoming a Patreon supporter. Patreon dot com. You're
1:25:06
Speaker 1: on book show Patreon dot com. Your on book show,
1:25:08
Speaker 1: just become a monthly supporter, and then you don't have
1:25:10
Speaker 1: to worry about the super chat and that stuff anymore.
1:25:12
Speaker 1: Though you can do both super chat, you actually get
1:25:14
Speaker 1: to determine what I talk about. It's kind of cool.
1:25:16
Speaker 1: You can make a comment, you can disagree with me.
1:25:18
Speaker 1: I read all the super chat loud aloud, so everybody knows.
1:25:23
Speaker 1: So please do that. She did not drive into him.
1:25:27
Speaker 1: Look at the video. Actually look, don't. Don't look with
1:25:30
Speaker 1: the peak conception. Even if she he was, He wasn't touched.
1:25:35
Speaker 1: She didn't run over his feet. She didn't touch him
1:25:37
Speaker 1: at all. And and protocol and police in uh in
1:25:43
Speaker 1: in all law enforcement is you don't shoot into a
1:25:45
Speaker 1: driving car. But in this case, she didn't even come
1:25:50
Speaker 1: close to him. I mean, she came close to him,
1:25:53
Speaker 1: but she was not a threat to him. To shoot
1:25:57
Speaker 1: to kill is straight out murder, straight out murder. Nothing
1:26:02
Speaker 1: was to be gained from it. It's not like he
1:26:04
Speaker 1: was protecting his life. Like if she was dead, you
1:26:07
Speaker 1: saw what happened to her. She lost control of the car.
1:26:10
Speaker 1: That wouldn't have saved him. If she was really running
1:26:11
Speaker 1: him over. She would have run him over. What he
1:26:15
Speaker 1: did was the right thing. He got out of the way,
1:26:18
Speaker 1: He got out of the way, nothing hit him, And
1:26:25
Speaker 1: when he took the shot, he was clear from the car.
1:26:29
Speaker 1: He was clear from the car when she took when
1:26:30
Speaker 1: he took the shot, I showed that in pictures earlier. Anyway,
1:26:35
Speaker 1: you know, people see what they want to see, they
1:26:38
Speaker 1: really do. It's it's truly stunning. How you know, she's
1:26:44
Speaker 1: a leftist and Ice represents Donald Trump. They were always
1:26:49
Speaker 1: going to be in the right. You know, if you're
1:26:52
Speaker 1: a leftist, you're always going to be in the wrong.
1:26:55
Speaker 1: And people's actual perception gets changed when that happens. Look
1:26:58
Speaker 1: at the photo of when he takes the shot. He's
1:27:01
Speaker 1: clear of the car, what he takes to shot. All right, Patreon,
1:27:07
Speaker 1: let me remind you about a OI Live which starts
1:27:10
Speaker 1: next week. I'm still looking for the students for my
1:27:13
Speaker 1: public speaking seminar. Join us. You can find information on
1:27:16
Speaker 1: ieman dot org slash start here. There's also a discount
1:27:21
Speaker 1: code ybs uh twenty six ybs ten twenty six ybs
1:27:25
Speaker 1: ten join us, Join us. Yeah, it's not it's not
1:27:36
Speaker 1: even clear. Why was he Why was he in front
1:27:39
Speaker 1: of the car? Why was he even in front of
1:27:41
Speaker 1: the car? He was he was shown videotaping. Why why
1:27:45
Speaker 1: was he standing in front of the car when the
1:27:46
Speaker 1: car is moving? What's he doing there? And again this
1:27:57
Speaker 1: is there's no self defense here. This is just punishing
1:28:02
Speaker 1: her for him being afraid, you know, for having to
1:28:05
Speaker 1: move out of the way, punishing her for not doing
1:28:08
Speaker 1: what he told her to do. You don't kill people
1:28:12
Speaker 1: for that. Really disgusting, all right? What else? No, she
1:28:26
Speaker 1: didn't try to run him over, not at all. She
1:28:29
Speaker 1: was trying to go to the right and go into traffic.
1:28:32
Speaker 1: If she was running him over, she would be going straight,
1:28:34
Speaker 1: not to the right. She avoided him, is what she
1:28:36
Speaker 1: was doing. But again, you will see what you want
1:28:40
Speaker 1: to see because you are biased and you will defend
1:28:44
Speaker 1: the regime in play, No matter what. I am here
1:28:48
Speaker 1: just to tell the truth, nothing more, nothing less, just
1:28:51
Speaker 1: to tell the truth. She was ordered to get out
1:28:54
Speaker 1: of the car. Yes, by what authority? She refused the order?
1:29:00
Speaker 1: Was she a threat to anybody? No? Was she was
1:29:03
Speaker 1: she a violence something? No? But what athority does a
1:29:07
Speaker 1: police come up and open your car door? And he's
1:29:11
Speaker 1: only police? He says Ice, by what authority did he
1:29:14
Speaker 1: do that? Who is he? Who is she? All right,
1:29:25
Speaker 1: let's jump into the questions. Rational Ip give it a
1:29:30
Speaker 1: fifty dollars fifty sixty euros. Thank you, rational Ip. We
1:29:35
Speaker 1: need a few more like that, guys. We're running short
1:29:38
Speaker 1: of our target for today, he says. Given the device
1:29:41
Speaker 1: of far right politics in Europe is driven by public
1:29:45
Speaker 1: insecurity in effective enforcement, often due to lack of resources.
1:29:51
Speaker 1: How can a pro freedom approach credibly address this sense
1:29:54
Speaker 1: of insecurity without undermining liberty? Well, I think it's fairly easy.
1:29:59
Speaker 1: I think what you need is what you need is
1:30:05
Speaker 1: to define what the problem is. Where does this insecurity
1:30:10
Speaker 1: come from? Well, it comes from a immigrants from Muslim
1:30:16
Speaker 1: countries who have declared that they have no interest in assimilating,
1:30:21
Speaker 1: who many of whom are living off the state through welfare,
1:30:25
Speaker 1: and who are committing acts of violence and are being
1:30:29
Speaker 1: radicalized in mosques that are teaching the worst kind of Islam,
1:30:34
Speaker 1: the Islamist Shariah jihadi ideology. The solution is first of all,
1:30:42
Speaker 1: for mainstream politicians to acknowledge that, to say that is
1:30:46
Speaker 1: what's happening, and then engage in systematic deportation of those
1:30:52
Speaker 1: people engaged in that activity, that is, those people that
1:30:57
Speaker 1: are preaching ideas that you know, uh, that basically involved
1:31:08
Speaker 1: the destruction of the West under again, you know, I
1:31:13
Speaker 1: would declare war and whatever declare Islamist ideology is an
1:31:17
Speaker 1: enemy of Germany, of Europe or whatever it is, and
1:31:21
Speaker 1: go after those people and deporte them anybody who's commandated crime.
1:31:27
Speaker 1: Instead of being super lenient, which is what the legal
1:31:30
Speaker 1: authorities are doing in Europe, is super lenient with immigrants,
1:31:34
Speaker 1: be super harsh with immigrants. You expected to assimilate. A
1:31:39
Speaker 1: major part of assimilation is abide by our laws. You
1:31:42
Speaker 1: don't abide by our laws. We're throwing the book at you.
1:31:47
Speaker 1: And if you're not a citizen, deporte them. If they
1:31:52
Speaker 1: are citizens, throw the book at them. So when the
1:31:56
Speaker 1: grooming gangs have been in England, the police should be
1:32:00
Speaker 1: all over it, and they should have arrested them, and
1:32:02
Speaker 1: they should have prosecuted them, and they should have sent
1:32:04
Speaker 1: to jail for the rest of their lives. Instead they
1:32:06
Speaker 1: got lenient sentences. The police weren't interested. They were worried
1:32:10
Speaker 1: about offending a minority group. So you have to recognize
1:32:15
Speaker 1: what the problem is and then go after the perpetrators
1:32:18
Speaker 1: h And it's not a lack of resources, it's a
1:32:20
Speaker 1: lack of will. It's a lack of identification of the
1:32:25
Speaker 1: source of the problem and a will to engage in it.
1:32:29
Speaker 1: By the way, the other issue for the that makes
1:32:32
Speaker 1: far right politics popular in Europe is the zero carbon issue.
1:32:36
Speaker 1: It's the green agenda, you know, the far right of
1:32:40
Speaker 1: lonely people willing to say this is stupid. We should,
1:32:43
Speaker 1: you know, in Germany, we should restart the nuclear poplanes.
1:32:48
Speaker 1: So you solve the problem by being honest about the
1:32:51
Speaker 1: existence of them, what they are, and how they work,
1:32:55
Speaker 1: and by uh and then by acting on them, by
1:32:58
Speaker 1: actually actually doing the work. And that's not a shortage
1:33:03
Speaker 1: of resources, that's a shortage of will and the intellectual
1:33:09
Speaker 1: honesty to actually engage with your voters around what is
1:33:13
Speaker 1: really going on. Andrew posted it yesterday. Just have to
1:33:19
Speaker 1: show ended a brief fictional scenario. Aggrieved intellectual, aggrieved intellectual.
1:33:25
Speaker 1: There's some there's some pain and living. Woe is man.
1:33:29
Speaker 1: Existence is torture is a torture chamber. An objectivist, what
1:33:34
Speaker 1: exactly are you grossing about? I'm focused on happiness and
1:33:37
Speaker 1: unmordel and on and not on minor pains. Yeah. Absolutely,
1:33:44
Speaker 1: I mean an objectivist is even if they're grossing about
1:33:50
Speaker 1: even if there is an issue, but the whole framing
1:33:54
Speaker 1: of the aggrieved intellectual existence is a torture chamber is
1:34:00
Speaker 1: absurd and ridiculous. And focus on life, focus on values.
1:34:05
Speaker 1: You have turned your life into a torture chamber is
1:34:07
Speaker 1: probably the appropriate things to say. You have made your
1:34:10
Speaker 1: life a torture chamber by not actually going out there
1:34:15
Speaker 1: and pursuing values, pro life values, Clark Young, if you
1:34:29
Speaker 1: want to really grow the show this year, would it
1:34:31
Speaker 1: be worth it to do a fundraiser to bring on
1:34:34
Speaker 1: someone like Alex O'Connor to have a debate or discussion
1:34:37
Speaker 1: with Interacting with big names is worth the investment. Yeah,
1:34:43
Speaker 1: I mean that's a good it's a good idea. I
1:34:45
Speaker 1: don't know how I have a feeling Alex O'Connor is
1:34:48
Speaker 1: beyond my budget, beyond our budget, but but yeah, that's
1:34:53
Speaker 1: a good idea. Finding ways to interact with these people
1:34:56
Speaker 1: is going to be important and figure out who the
1:35:00
Speaker 1: big shots are in interacting with them is is definitely
1:35:07
Speaker 1: a way to go to the show. How much it
1:35:09
Speaker 1: goes the show is how to tell it definitely gives
1:35:11
Speaker 1: it a boost. Whether that's a sustained boost or not,
1:35:14
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. Ian says how much of debating
1:35:20
Speaker 1: Alex O'Connor improve Craig Biddle's numbers? Probably not much. But
1:35:24
Speaker 1: I don't want to be compared to Craig Biddle Thomas
1:35:29
Speaker 1: someone who wrote, Okay, we stole your dictator. Now you
1:35:33
Speaker 1: have to steal ours. That's how the rules work. Yeah,
1:35:42
Speaker 1: come and steal ours. Please, somebody take him. Linda says,
1:35:49
Speaker 1: why do ICE agents hide their faces? I mean the
1:35:52
Speaker 1: explanation given by Homeland Security is that if not, they
1:35:57
Speaker 1: are threatened. You know, people will threaten their lives and
1:36:00
Speaker 1: their families. They'll they'll find out their identities, they'll harass them,
1:36:04
Speaker 1: and supposedly there being some cases where they've been harassed.
1:36:08
Speaker 1: You know, that's the price of being a policeman, the
1:36:10
Speaker 1: price of being a police officer. You know, you should
1:36:13
Speaker 1: watch some westerns about how the West was won. They
1:36:17
Speaker 1: didn't wear masks. They were just tough guys, and you
1:36:23
Speaker 1: know they were harassed constantly. Michael Dalla says, super won't
1:36:31
Speaker 1: let me comment on it. You have to misspell a lot.
1:36:34
Speaker 1: You have to do a lot of misspelling. And am
1:36:40
Speaker 1: are you calling for Bill to take the streets? I
1:36:42
Speaker 1: mean me calling for Bill to take the streets is meaningless.
1:36:45
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not big on demonstrations, I am. But
1:36:49
Speaker 1: I like the fact that people are filming all of
1:36:52
Speaker 1: this that's happening. I like the fact that they are
1:36:55
Speaker 1: yelling at the at the Ice. I like the fact
1:36:57
Speaker 1: that the cries of shame, shame, shame being heard. And
1:37:03
Speaker 1: you know, this might be something that if it develops
1:37:06
Speaker 1: into a real demonstration movement, could be worth demonstrating for.
1:37:10
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that when it happens. I'm now going
1:37:13
Speaker 1: to start a demonstration movement. I don't like demonstrations and
1:37:16
Speaker 1: not a big not a big supporter of them, but
1:37:19
Speaker 1: there has to be a way for the American people
1:37:22
Speaker 1: to express they discussed with what is going on, not
1:37:27
Speaker 1: to aage algorithm. The Ice agent had his weapon out
1:37:30
Speaker 1: before the car moved. He was looking for a reason
1:37:33
Speaker 1: to use it. I didn't see that, but I wouldn't
1:37:36
Speaker 1: be surprised, Michael. Her car was turning right, Her path
1:37:42
Speaker 1: to get out was turning right, and not towards the
1:37:45
Speaker 1: Ice agent. This was murder. I agree completely, and I
1:37:48
Speaker 1: think the video and these still photos show that, like
1:37:52
Speaker 1: the numbers, Why didn't more people from Rand's time protest
1:37:57
Speaker 1: Jim crow Laws by blocking police in the South? Should
1:38:01
Speaker 1: they have been more like Renee Good? Was she blocking police?
1:38:07
Speaker 1: Was that what she was doing? Do we know that?
1:38:08
Speaker 1: Do we know what she was doing? Do you know that?
1:38:10
Speaker 1: I don't know what she was doing? More people in
1:38:16
Speaker 1: the sixties should have been protesting Jim Cole Laws. Yeah,
1:38:19
Speaker 1: I mean the one kind of protest I would have
1:38:23
Speaker 1: I would have joined would have been some of the
1:38:26
Speaker 1: civil rights protests, given how they were treated, given what
1:38:30
Speaker 1: was at stake. Absolutely, absolutely, But her call, it's not
1:38:45
Speaker 1: clear what her call was doing and whether she was blocking.
1:38:48
Speaker 1: And again you can arrest her, say she was, uh,
1:38:53
Speaker 1: what do you call it, disrupting police work or whatever.
1:38:57
Speaker 1: You don't get to shoot her. You don't get to
1:38:59
Speaker 1: shoot Mike says. Ice also shot a man in glen Burnie, Maryland,
1:39:08
Speaker 1: on twenty fourth of December. No footage, unfortunately. Yeah, it's sad.
1:39:12
Speaker 1: We only know about it when there's footage. The cell
1:39:15
Speaker 1: phones have made a lot of this, you know, so
1:39:19
Speaker 1: much better because now we can actually see what's happening. James,
1:39:23
Speaker 1: do you know if anyone in the Trump administration is
1:39:26
Speaker 1: listening to your show like they were during the first term.
1:39:28
Speaker 1: I doubt it. I doubt it, but I don't know.
1:39:32
Speaker 1: But no, I don't think anybody is. I mean, this
1:39:36
Speaker 1: administration was manned by very carefully with the white people.
1:39:43
Speaker 1: From Trump's perspective, Rock, what's your view of lobbying in
1:39:48
Speaker 1: a mixed economy. Doesn't it make separation state of economics impossible?
1:39:52
Speaker 1: What's the solution? Well, I'm all for lobbying because you
1:39:56
Speaker 1: have to, because otherwise I'll steamroll you. I am the
1:40:03
Speaker 1: only way to stop lobbying is to separate state from economics.
1:40:09
Speaker 1: And maybe the most powerful lobby should be the lobby
1:40:12
Speaker 1: that lobby is to separate state from economics. But in
1:40:19
Speaker 1: a mixed economy, you have to lobby otherwise you're basically
1:40:26
Speaker 1: completely at the whim of of of the government of
1:40:29
Speaker 1: whatever they decide to do without getting a voice in it.
1:40:37
Speaker 1: Liam will the Civil War star with immigrants organizing and
1:40:42
Speaker 1: and fighting at ice agents firing at ideas is I
1:40:45
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think immigrants are going to organize,
1:40:48
Speaker 1: and I don't think people are going to get around
1:40:50
Speaker 1: to fighting in the streets over immigration. Ultimately, Linda says,
1:40:57
Speaker 1: of what ybs for clicking thumbs up? It helps you

1:41:56
Speaker 1: I wish Kata would come around with a couple of
1:41:59
Speaker 1: million dollars, but they're not. The Israeli government isn't supporting me.
1:42:04
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't want to, doesn't want to fund me. So
1:42:07
Speaker 1: it's you. You guys. That's it. It's all I have left.

Speaker 1: be good. Michael says. The NYPDA being arresting ice agents,
1:42:31
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I haven't heard about that. I'll have to
1:42:34
Speaker 1: look into that and what comes of those ice agents
1:42:36
Speaker 1: once they get arrested. Thank you, Michael. John is just
